> are there any features you would want OpenZiti to have

One thing I'm not seeing in docs is a way to use existing third-party identity systems (such as Okta, LDAP, Google Oauth, etc.). Does OpenZiti have a way to use external identities? As an example, with Buzzfeed SSO, I can expose an HTTP application to the world, but limit who can actually access it (such as my brother who can use his Gmail to authenticate to certain services I have shared with him).
As a sysadmin who deals with several clients with different naming conventions wrt server hostnames, i feel like both schools annoy me;

for example one of our clients has FRPRTFSQL02, where fr is france, pr is production, tf is the app this server relates to, sql is the type of service this hosts, and 02 is sequential, so for an sql server this means it's most likely a ro replica.

On the other hand, another client names their servers just "montana", "barcelone" or "morroco" with no relation to the geographic aspect of the name.

In both cases, and maybe this is just because i work and exist in this wierd liminal space where i care about the server but not what's on it (if i end up caring what's on it, i find out what i care about by looking at logs etc, not the name) so both ends of the spectrum tell me absolutely nothing about the machine and it's just an annoyance to remember them. I find cute names easier to remember and tell my coworkers about, for what that's worth.

On my own infra, i name my servers with simple descriptive names, like "matrix" is hosting matrix and "play" is hosting game servers, but i don't have the infrastructure for that to be a problem (ie i do not have 2 copies of anything running) so i can afford to do it, but i know it's not a good solution.
Does that really work out, with regards to waste? I mean, does something with a circuit board, a battery, an LCD screen, a case, a stylus, and a limited lifespan really end up being greener than renewable, recyclable, compostable plant fiber?
> how are they surviving?

"Living wage" isn't "surviving wage"
As many have said already, it could have one or several of many different causes but aging.
Cognitive decline once happened to me at age 35: it was anemia (blood deficiency), caused by colon cancer (long cured)

If the problem is serious, by all means do see a physician. He should be able to diagnose burnout, if nothing else -- which I believe is the most probable cause. There are many programmers in their fourties and older that do fine. Don't believe the agists.
That may be a problem with the assessment but I don't see how that allows you to redefine what "the actual problem" is. To me it still very clearly seems to be that people don't get paid enough? Even the grey economy you mention is caused by that actual problem, is not a replacement of it.
Does this factor in the energy loss in transmission?
I was hoping that it would be

10 print "John is cool"

because then he and I would have started off in the same place.
Guess what pal, everyone's up to their eyeballs in debt and living check to check.
I mean, if it was easy to time when things would collapse, you could make a lot of money. But it is sometimes possible to point to something and say "that'll collapse, sooner or later, because it doesn't make any sense" where it isn't practical to predict the time of the collapse.

People started saying "yeah, there's a problem here" about the Irish property market in 2003 or so. Lots of people were saying "this will crash any day now". For years. Then between 2006 and 2010, prices halved, for broadly the reasons the doomsayers were saying (the global financial crisis was arguably a trigger, but doesn't explain the whole thing).

(Also, I would note that Bitcoin did crash in 2021, as well. And it's not like 2022 is likely to be the last crash, either).
"We estimate, for example, that at least 32 million US Twitter users were potentially exposed to posts from Russia-sponsored accounts in the eight months leading up to the 2016 election. Facebook has estimated, by comparison, that 126 million users had the potential to view Russian state-sponsored content on its platform over a two year period"

Seems like all the political influence action was on Facebook. Twitter was just more "public" than the "walled garden" of FB.
Greed by the board.

And screw the employees who have bills to pay, families to feed and may have been able to keep a business viable without this incessent need for quarterly growth.

Pay the rents and wages and everything else is gravy.
> a "Living Wage"

> enough to live

The term is capitalised because it has an actual defined meaning beyond the etymology derived from its component words. If you think everyone earning just enough to keep themselves physically alive is a sufficient standard to strive to for modern society, then I would question your ethics.

The "living" in the term Living Wage is about being able to actually live a life, not just survive it.

> We should look at things from the other direction...

There is nothing about the Living Wage that precludes doing that: it's a quantitative metric to be accompanied by your qualitative suggestions, not to supplant them.
True that it is on a site promoting a law firm. But, I don't see a reason to doubt this is an aggregation and visualization of Park Service data. I have some gripes about per capita deaths in some visualization and absolute numbers in others, etc. I do not see tendentiousness, though. There is no "See! They are negligent!" here.
I don't think the notion is that we should be relying entirely on cached results from prior generations. Rather, we need to understand what was tried and what worked and what didn't, and why. With this knowledge, we can see when innovation has invalidated prior assumptions, and we can try again.
I suspect in this market the former number was aspirational and the latter number actually materialized. A 66% discount to aspiration is about what all the other high-growth speculative companies took. Maybe they were in a tight spot financially?
Then you also run into this:

“Car chargers are particularly appealing to thieves because they can be sold for up to £200 and they are selling them everywhere – eBay, Facebook, and to dodgy scrap dealers,” says divert.co.uk spokesman Mark Hall. “They can be pretty costly and inconvenient for you to replace, so it’s best to keep it locked away from the crooks.”

I'm almost 40 and I'm much more aware of the circumstances when my mental ability are worse. If I want to be at my peak, sleep well, not have breakfast, drink a cup of coffee. Under these circumstances I think I may have better mental ability than 10 years ago.
I think there’s also something important about that period where you’re moving from only doing what other people instruct you to do towards making decisions and supporting them over time.
Sounds hard, man! Poor you :( General tips: exercise, lots of water, meditation/pranayama, emotional processing/therapy if you have unresolved trauma, sleep, cut coffee and alcohol, cut processed foods/snakcs, more vegetables. Maybe try some nootropics? Nootropics are a highly-opinionated / personal / subjective topic but there's plenty of different options. Worth exploring as temporary rewiring enhancement while you get your personal health routine up to sustain your abilities. Also if you can and want to maybe take a break / sabbatical from work and just see where it takes you. What do you want to do?
Cash businesses and a lot of cheating on taxes/income reports.

I have some NYC-native friends whose parents make less than $20k a year on paper but own homes and generally live comfortably.

This is common in their immigrant community. On top of that, people rent apartments to each other cash only, pay with cash at restaurants or grocery store, etc.
Github is for myself and my own enjoyment. I'm not incredibly active, just a PR here and a new repo there.

Haven't used twitter in about two years and actually just deleted it about two days ago. Just deactivated my facebook after not using it for 5+ years as well.

I do use Linkedin, but I don't post. I actually did post once after an award at work, but that was both a "thanks to everyone" and a "by the way if any recruiters wander by". Other than that, I don't think I've ever posted and it's really just a live Resume for me.

I don't think social media is a requirement at all, at least in my world. The people I care about contact me in other ways and the people I work with contact me over slack, and if we don't work together currently, on LinkedIn. I guess you could call LinkedIn useful for me then, but I really just use it as a resume.
Is there any regret in technology selection more widespread and common than having picked MongoDB during its bizarre new hotness phase? That phase where SQL database administrators where crying, thinking they'd lose their jobs tomorrow and many people claimed SQL was now absolutely deprecated.
Just say no. There are probably many more reasons to keep you on board than to let you go because you didn't write a blog post.
Digest and metabolize. This would mean that early in the day, you digest food and put it to work. Your body temperature is higher, you fidget more, your body repairs some of the damage you did when you worked out last night.

Later in the day, the food you digest sits around. Your body temperature is lower, you fidget less, your body performs less maintenance and repair. But the body isn't wasteful; it's still built to survive periodic famine. So, those extra calories that are just sitting around get stored away for later.
Nice analysis. I think the author really hit on the key problem: expensive BOM due to poor engineering choices.
I find your positive scenario extremely frightening, even more so your approval of it. It would literally be the Matrix scenario coming true.

Also, I'll have imperfect friends, thanks.
Oh boy. I had that on the IIfx I used in college.

Myshpa, I am a farmer. The livestock mimicking the movement of wild herd is a compromise stewarding the land with what is at hand and possible. Yes we should do large scale rewilding projects, but managing brittle environment need disturbance and livestock can do that it's not trying to be the same as a wild and regenerated landscape but it can be a part of the natural succession and furthermore it's being done. It's working and profitable for the landowners, I am aware that things could be better, it's a longterm project regenerated living ecosystem. One step at the time, regenerating land and ecosystems.

I find it hard to believe that the amount of tax fraud in NY is enough to throw this figure off. Even if what you're describing is true, it would hardly be "the actual problem" here.
If it's so expensive, why were computers a 10,000 times less powerful able to do it well?
I exercise on a strict schedule, both weight lifting and cardio. It is never enjoyable for me. I don’t get runners high, or pleasure from the exertion. I just make myself tired, sweaty, and add on temporary pain to my muscles.

It’s worth it for the global effect on my energy levels and health. But it remains true that for some of us, exercise is never a source of enjoyment, and I understand why many people can’t get through that to do it anyway.

- Have no children

- Commute long distance
> The symptoms of pop culture: A “disdain for history”. Pop cultures believe history doesn’t have anything to teach them.

This almost completely falls to pieces in the framing ... how does one explain the pop culture of 80s nostalgia that is prevalent in a lot of media? An 80's casio watch is, in some circles, the pinacle of timepiece fashion. Of course there are times where pop culture is a rejection of the prior art, but also there are times when current pop culture icons show deference to the past and their influences.
A lot of the comments exhibit a common misunderstanding of the poor in America. Many (most?) "poor" people work full-time jobs, but the pay from those jobs is simply inadequate to cover basic living expenses without drawing on external resources. That's what people mean when they say these jobs don't pay a "living wage."

How do those people live, then? Subsidies from elsewhere. As noted elsewhere, this can be in the form of living with family, cash payments from family, transfer payments from government, illegal side hustles, etc.

A concrete example: when people say that Walmart is subsidized by taxpayers, what they mean is that Walmart can employ hundreds of thousands at below-subsistence wages only because the taxpayers will provide for their employees so that they can afford basic necessities. In the parlance, they do not provide a living wage, but their employees are still able to live due to government largesse. (I'm picking on Walmart because they are typically the employer of the largest cohort of government transfer payments in a state.)

<<A “disdain for history”>>

A common problem in contemporary culture is a disregard for history, which can be seen not only in startup companies and the technology industry, but throughout society as a whole. During times of significant change, it is common for people to believe that they are much more intelligent and advanced than previous generations, who they may view as ignorant or backward. As the consequences of the revolution inevitably become clear, when the revolution turns on its children, people often begin to appreciate the positive aspects of the past and recognize that revolutions are usually not the solution you want (for the exact same reason why you usually don't want to rewrite a huge software project).

Let us hope that the current period of revolution is coming to an end.
The right question to ask is how and when hostnames are serialized to disk and how you need to interact with them. The most common in my experience are for logging, metrics, backups and monitoring. So those interactions are important use cases to consider.

In my opinion a good hostname, given an enterprise setting and in order of importance, should reflect 1) if the host is production, a staging area, or someone's toy, and 2) which group or team has responsibility or it. If relevant, also 3) what type of server or role it is.

Should you find some sort of data dump or log that contains a hostname, it should be immediately obvious how sensitive it can be and with whom to speak. This basic requirement mostly rules out "cute-only" names.
Yes, we're all aware it's common practice to open source code.

However, if the weights aren't provided and the data is unavailable or the compute is expensive, the code is worthless.
Lets not look at roman slavery as abhorrent, lets reframe it instead, as living organisms, getting a meal, having a roof and occasionally warmth in the winter. Suddenly, the nightmare is not so horrific anymore. And we should ask ourselves, how we can normalize a downfall like this even further. Maybe, this is what humanity always wanted all along. A boot to the face.

Yet somehow the other 60%, who are not earning a living wage, are still living. A better name than "living wage" needs to be used if they want me to understand what they're talking about.
I agree with some of what he is saying, but don't really get the "pop culture" framing. Isn't pop culture just popular cultural artifacts? I'm under the impression they are mostly looked down upon for class reasons more so than any of the intrinsic problems stated.

I see a super simple explanation: New York is most known for it's regulated rentals. Surely if we take into account currently advertised rental prices, almost no one there will earn a living wage. But people must be locked into much lower, regulated rentals for decades.

I'm not sure why you'd necessarily feel the need to add race when the point was the age group of the people for one specific stat. Do you think people are using "millenials" as a race?

I think names should first of all be reliable.

What I mean by reliable?

* It does not change either in time or space -- you have to come up with a good name right from the start and then you are not allowed to change it. The same thing has to be named the same way throughout the system and ideally through multiple connected systems.

* It must not mislead -- the name does not have to be super descriptive (although it is a desired property) but it cannot cause you to think the thing does something it doesn't do.

* It must be unique -- the same name cannot be used for different similar or dissimilar things.
Must be fun to pay your taxes knowing that you are subsidising this BS.

EDIT: I think my comment was't clear: I pay my taxes, just not in the US. :)

I think that by tolerating tax cheating (withdrawing IRS funding), the US is punishing those who are honest.

My comment was triggered by the very nonchalant way how the above comments made it seem like a normal NYC thing to steal tax money.

If taxes are too high then they should be lowered. Selective enforcement is bad.
Even with the models we have right now, if you built the right app on top of them, they'd be multi-billion dollar businesses that upset incumbents.

Imagine an IDE where you make assertions about the generated code, and it takes those and does a random walk through the latent space until it finds a point that satisfies those assertions. Instead of editing the modified code, you debug by making more assertions or describing the process more accurately.

Imagine art software where you describe what you want, then iteratively add refinements through more description and rough sketch-ups, and then get the final result neatly broken down into semantically consistent layers for a final pass in photoshop.

This stuff is all possible now, and if we see the same or better improvement in models in the next 10 years as we saw in the last 10 years the future versions will be amazing.

As far as I could tell, their OCR capabilities are pretty much the best you can get easily: https://cloud.google.com/vision/docs/ocr?hl=en. If you want free, Google Lens is a pretty neat piece of software you can get on your phone (not sure if Android only or also iPhone). They all use AI, although it's a different kind of AI.

For machine translation, they used to be clearly leading, then deepl arrived and I think they are roughly on par (or maybe deepl is better, but also has fewer languages). Do you have other companies in mind?

As mentioned above, in research they have some great results, translating those to products is not always straightforward of course - or even possible.

It is true, however, that TensorFlow is now considered outdated, with pretty much all the community switching to PyTorch (originally developed by Facebook, now handed over to the Linux foundation). But indeed these are not really products (i.e. they don't bring in the money they cost, by far), more like open source projects.
This seems to be a failure outside of fads. This is application of an unviable technology.

Filesystems has been available for much longer than MongoDB. Using that as a database and having requirements changed to a relational database would be the same without anything about the filesystem being a fad.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but your comment seems to imply that the US directly intervened/prevented the Japanese from making their own operating system.
