It takes quite a bit of hubris to think that just one more regulatory straw will somehow turn the camel into a race horse.

Listening to people when you said you could just add more regulation to solve the problem is how we got here. Cameras were the regulatory easy fix you people put forth when you couldn't stop backing over your kids (was more of a moral panic than a widespread thing but I digress). The OEMs, not being idiots, decided that if they had to have screens to display camera output they might as well make the best of it and use them. Fast forward 10yr and here we are, touchscreens in everything and cars that practically can't be backed without the camera.

it’s a nice way to orchestrate long running workers actually: the main process exists exclusively to keep the app up/ talking to gunicorn/uvicorn and register PIDs of a worker process in a queue.

NetBSD i386 bit moved to a 64 bit time_t and they added some logic for 32bit time_t binaries to still work.

OpenBSD i386 went to a 64 bit time_t real soon after NetBSD did.

Both OpenBSD and NetBSD should not have any 2038 issues on 32 bit systems.

FreeBSD i386, I do not know.

Linux 32bit just finished the move in the past year or 2. I do not how complete that is. But I suspect it will be fine.

Others, I have no idea.

SAP has a very clear idea of how it makes money. It makes money by selling to senior managers who don't have to use it, and have very little idea of the realities for people on the front line. So SAP have no incentive to produce a system that is useable, because that won't increase their sales. Their sales are increased by clever salespeople, so that is where the money goes.

There was a some efforts to bring Pleroma-specific features to apps but that went down the drain. Some apps do (Fedilab comes to my mind, IIRC).

Given it clones the Mastodon API- all clients should work with Pleroma, minus the small Pleroma-specific features.
I think it’s fair to say that in the age of the internet, everyone is sidetracked all the time.

Another thing I like about automation is that it lets you think bigger thoughts. If I have to go in and tweak a report in Excel, I’m only going to have time to do the bare minimum to get the result I need. But if I load it into pandas, some additional analysis is only a single command away, so I’ll probably do it. And with the rise of AI tools like chatGPT, I don’t even have to remember the commands, I just ask the AI “hey, come up with a forecast for this variable”.

Most people that criticizes SAP and other enterprise software miss the point that SAP and enterprise software is complex. Not because it made complex but because this area/domain is really complex. Finances are complex, role based access control are complex, ORM is complex. Now combine all these things and add different implementation in different countries/regions and you will probably understand why SAP is de-facto standard.

The only time I met half competent full-stack devs was when the stack was limited to JavaScript on front and back ends along with API calls to serverless functions (eg Cognito) for "more complex" things. Never met one that could quit vim or design a database with anything other than varchars.

That is not full-stack, that is knowing a syntax that happens to have ended at both ends of the stack.

I would use a standard open source product like keycloak for user management and all related permission, authentication and authorization handling. Most requirements like you said sso, connecting to active directory, etc can be solved out of the box then. When working with such a product you learn a lot about security, as you need to configure all the things.

Absolutely - I understand there are some practical reasons for doing it that way but I’m always surprised to see people wasting that lowering portion simply by dropping the weight. Serious control on the way down helps too!

Another way I think about it: the weight shouldn’t bounce on the floor. If it does, slow it down.

"3rd parties come in to capture the value that Nike otherwise left on the table"

I disagree that all value would be gone though. People value things differently, the 'scalpers' are a mechanism to get the goods to those who value it most highly. I personally don't value these trainers for what Nike is asking, so I don't buy them. Should Nike be required to sell them to me for what I value them at? Or should people be able to set their own price, and others buy if that price is worth it to them? If you actually cared about happiness, liberty, etc, I don't see how a pair of trainers, expensive of otherwise is going to change that, but if it does become an issue, just don't by the sodding trainers then!

I don't see why a lottery is 'fairer'. the shortage is entirely synthetic, created by Nike. I'm not big on adding morality into business transactions, but all this stems directly from Nike's decision to create scarcity. The 'fairest' thing would be for Nike to satisfy demand. 'scalpers' are a just symptom of that.

I don't get why 'scalpers' are only deemed to be a problem when the scarcity in question is synthetic. If there's a corn shortage are farmers scalping? Are oil traders scalping when the price goes up? What about when the price of $stock goes up? Are the sellers scalpers? This is how free markets work. You could at least make a moral case for the price of corn being socially bad, you can't make that case for trainers or gig tickets or whatever.

The other obvious solution is for another company to come in and solve the supply constraint that nike created. Although that too is also apparently wrong. If I bought some 'Niko' trainers from the local market, who is being harmed here? I'm not being misled, Nike aren't losing sales, so why?

Will regulators act on this? I really want them to, but I feel like they won't and we'll continue to see a trend of car makers taking the cheap route and doing touch screens. At least it feels that way wherever I look into an evening l exciting EV. What do the choices look like in the new car market these days?

They do act as repeaters! The mesh networking design was one of the big selling points, it was going to be a city-wide teenage mesh network!

Unfortunately, one acting as a repeater would take your range from 10 feet to 20 feet.
That's some breakthrough research right there!

Only outdone by the geniuses of the car industry and their really (too) close pals of the safety agencies who find it OK to put touch screens in everything short of pedals and a steer mechanism ( some aren't even wheels anymore! really modern advanced stuff.. )
Surely these were never enforceable, but I guess people don't know better. Reducing the asymmetry of knowledge is also key here.

> I'm not sure what happened when the ancestors of penguins split from the ancestors of albatross

My guess, similar to yours will added a reason :)

Flying consumes a lot of energy. My guess is some albatrosses found a place where there was a lot of food, very safe and then hardly ever needed to fly. Thus the move to penguins.
The very commands are in themselves a script. Your command history is a script. Take bash, for example. Is "a; b" one command or two? The answer is well defined but also useless. Every command is the automation of millions of instructions anyway. This goes for other types of command interaction as well, not just command lines.

Think about what "creating a script" actually entails. That's parameterization, not automation. That may seem like a silly definition game, but it's hinders the understanding of non-IT people to reason about automatic data processing.

The example about software releases is a good example which I think illustrates the limited usability of the concept of automation within IT. The difference between deploying software with two commands or five commands, the difference between your scenario two and three, does not represent differences in automation levels. Not as long as the two (or five, or ten) commands are constant and well defined!

Those five commands could for all practical purposes be regarded as one. There may well be examples where only one command is needed, but one which is more complex than five commands together! Which one would be the most "automated" scenario then?

The difference between your second and third scenario is one of granularity, not automation. The idea being that it is irrelevant how many commands a step consists of, but instead how many steps there are, where each step can be single stepped, paused, and re-run. And that is a difference in granularity, not in automation.

I hope to have shown that the idea of automation is damaging to modelling IT processes. The important scenario of your example is actually the first one. Is the release process well defined? If it is, the rest is implementation. And that implementation is generalization, not automation. Someone who does not recognize that is bound to do a lot of useless unnecessary work, which is something observed in practice many times.
> No dependencies or libraries to install, upgrade, maintain, test, and secure.

So you don't actually want this program to do nearly anything useful unless you write it all yourself.

> Zero external configuration, other than telling your webserver to enable CGI on your file.

So now you have to have a webserver external dependency and also configure it. Configuring Apache for CGI securely was no fun unless you were an expert webmaster.

People really put their rose-colored glasses on when they reminisce about this stuff. But there's a reason why we don't use it anymore. We don't need to make up nonsense about why it was so great.
The really fun part:

> This command is not supported in Vim9 script, because it is too easily confused with a variable name.

So you can’t just write “x”, but must instead go for something bland like “exit”, or something exciting like “exe'x'”. (I’m presuming “execute 'x'” will work, but my mental model of how you’d unsupport the command in Vim9 script could be wrong.)
Homelessness and excruciatingly high rent is far more dystopian.
Because it commands to “write”. Also related to 'autoread'.
I agree that the enterprise market does not value usability very much, and I would even agree that the enterprise vendors made the right choice to deliver anything at all, in the early stages of ERP (even the first two decades).

None of that means the software is good: we can recognize the smart business choices those companies made and also abhor their products.

They provide what Alan Cooper calls "Dancing bearware" - it doesn't matter how badly the bear dances, they're just grateful to have a bear that can do it at all.

I barely ever use vi(m), but occasionally use it when I have to or it's convenient for me to edit something at a CLI only, which in my work practice is only an occasional brief thing.

`:x` is one of only like 8 commands I know!

I'm surprised that it's apparently not one of the basic commands everyone knows?
Thanks for putting some realism in the thread. I've been a PhD student and the involvement of the lab head ranged from actually giving some research direction to doing jack shit depending on the paper and the people leading them. It was very obvious once when he green-lighted one of my paper for submission yet wanted to changed half of it when I made an internal presentation about it a week later.

I challenged the thing one time to an intermediate supervisor (who where at least really contributing a bit) and I got bullshit excuses like "he's securing funding", "running the lab"... well at least not for my project since it costed nothing and I came with my own funding. At this point the toilet cleaning lady was contributing more to the paper because of how she allowed me to work in a clean environment.

So I'm not surprised by Japan being over-represented like mentioned in the article. My lab explicit policy was "quantity over quality" written in a presentation given to new student. I know have a mental, logarithmic curve of contributions from authors: first made 90% of the work, second 9% and the following authors share the last 1%.
One of the weirdest developments of the past 25 years since this was written has been the wholesale conversion of a huge set of these people to a weird hybrid of elements of the original current and traditionalist reactionary right wing ideology.

I watched it happen through the mid 20-teens and I am still puzzled about why and how this got such traction.

In any case one result of this was to cause the whole project of the “Californian ideology” to jump the rails. The original ideology was very libertarian about LGBT issues and generally not racist in the classical “race blindness” framing. This made it loosely an ally of the left at least on social issues, with the two agreeing to disagree on economics.

When the power of the technical aptitude of these folks met hard right reactionary ideology, you got high tech highly savvy movements like the whole 4chan-borne Pepe the frog… thing.

That in turn disgusted the left and turned off a bunch of the remaining adherents of the original ideology in its original libertarian form. Many of the latter were driven fully to the left, abandoning libertarian economics and certain less-lefty libertarian social positions.

Meanwhile the left got less liberal. I’m not sure how this happened either. Someone more familiar can tell that story. The time frame was the same though: the 20-teens.

This left us in the end with a techie community split between technocratic leftists who now believe in censorship and benevolent concentrated power and technocratic rightists who now believe in actual monarchy or even fascism or theocracy.

(I think this is a choice of two different awful dystopias.)

Some of us remain though. I feel like a baffled refugee after some kind of apocalypse. I continue to work on decentralized human centric tech designed to deliver both freedom and human dignity and empowerment like we thought we were doing in the 90s. I sometimes feel alone. I feel less alone on Mastodon where it seems some of us now hang.

Edit: or maybe what happened is just that the masks fell off. A lot of tankie reds and technocrats maybe once pretended to be more liberal while a lot of authoritarian rightists pretended to be libertarians. Maybe everyone stopped pretending, leaving those of us who actually believed in the fusion of liberty and humanism bewildered.

Also Californian ideology is a bit misleading. One did not have to be in California, though it did seem to be concentrated there.
Yes. One easy place to see this is Alta (skiing only) and Snowbird (mixed use) side by side on the same mountain in Utah. I enjoy both and prefer skiing the snow and runs of Alta.

I'd prefer snowboarding Alta too, but seeing for myself the difference to the snow and to the traffic patterns, I can see my snowboard would undermine Alta's preferential characteristics, so I'm happy they're separate.

There really is no such thing as a "pro seed oil" troll. He's pointing out gaps of evidence in the common claims that people who vilify seed oil, which is a real thing. If someone is making the claim that certain foods are deleterious, there has to be strong evidence to back those claims. And on a cursory glance, I'm not convinced that seed oils are deleterious. By all means though do your research. This is one source, but I've read others as well.

Adderall anyone? There's a panoply of legal ways to obtain amphetamines, but the US medical system is far less competent at customer service than the black market due to regulatory capture.

Is it good shorthand? Seems as flawed as hypothecating ritual use.
