> If you have multiple jobs that use (or could use) the same image, perhaps those jobs can be combined. It's definitely a tradeoff, and it depends on what you want from your pipeline. For example, normally you may have separate `build` and `test` jobs, but if they take, say (30s init + 5s work) + (30s init + 10s work), then combining them into a single job taking (30s init + 15 s work) _might_ be an acceptable trade-off. (These numbers are small enough that it probably isn't, but you get the idea.)

This is a good idea and something I will seriously consider

Freedom isn't free. God forbid Wall Street have to sell off a few banana republics to the Russians or Chinese.

A lot of us are sick of playing world police and world janitor. We're sick of pissing money and lives into far-off quagmires that are only tangentially related to us. Regardless of what's going on domestically there are many who want nothing to do with foreign entanglements and many more who would be fine accepting more Russian and Chinese influence overseas if it meant getting rid of a lot of their political problems at home. It's not like the US is incapable of existing as anything other than the sole superpower. We were fine the first 200yr.

I agree with everything you said. Of course everything you said is a description of the reasons that go into making it less common.

I disagree with the prescription that it shouldn't/couldn't. Saying something is unlikely is different to closing that door.

People and society are complex, and the long tail is really long. That's why being open minded and really giving the person in front of you some consideration is really important.

So... this is a really interesting comment to me.

Years ago when I was really into [various philosophies] and [secret society]...

They stated that gravity actually pushes up but it is mass and movement that counteract gravity's push

it was the vibrations of cymatics and sound that could counter-act mass on gravity and take advantage of gravity pushing up... and this is how the ancients knew to move/manipulate matter in space...

This is what Tesla alludes to through 3/6/9 vibrations, and how Ed Skalnanin built the coral castle.

Its all about changing harmonious vibrations, and both Skalnanin and the Egyptions had interesting vibratory circular tools which are missing parts, but basincally from spinning them they could manipulate the vibratory frequency of matter such that their mass didnt effect gravity and took advantage of gravity's push...

So the idea was to think of mass as the inverse of gravity when the frequencies are not sync'd..

I know it science-fiction, but its fun to think about.

I think the more interesting effect to look at is centrifugal forces. I think that everything spins because a constant turning (warping) of space-time (gravity pushing) 'UP' is how mass stays 'co-herent' 'co-hesion'

Think of superconductive levitation. Slow the spin of an object "in-motion" and it can levitate...

What if rather than through temperature control on manipulating the rotation of Atoms, you could use sound to levitate objects.. (seen the frog levitating in ultra-sound...

The conspiracy idea is that it is mapped out in certain stone carvings for the frequency.

Like the Rose church, which has Cymatic [atterns carved into its walls, which tell you the frequencies used...

Think of how certain alloys are made under magnetic
fields, and ceramics. Imaging forging an alloy under both a magnetic field & a cymatic frequency.

I love this conspiracy theory as its a great foundation to science-fiction writing as well.
OpenAI has raised $11 billion. $11 million is a drop in the bucket for them if it gets them more customers, more job applicants, etc.
The pieces I talk about having nothing to do with the constitution, and they aren’t really a part of any explicitly planned design.

Now, do people claim that anti majoritarianism is good? Sure. Clearly there are people who benefit from this system. In addition, a lot of people do justify it who seemly don’t directly benefit economically, simply due to an ideological affinity.

besides any philosophical argument, doesn't it still crap up your whole system whenever the network flakes out? (unlike, i imagine, any FUSE driver)
Same experience here.

Maybe TikTok appeals more to teenagers who have an underdeveloped sense of self. I remember at that age conflating popularity with accuracy and authority. Now when I watch TikTok it's just an exercise in frustration that nothing is cited and it's all about presentation over substance. And that's when the algorithm isn't showing me strange videos in a desperate attempt to keep my attention, a la spiderman/elsa YouTube mashups of yore.
When you test a file system are you testing it via the libc APIs, creating, deleting, checking filesystem objects and so on? Or is it done at a lower level API (that I’d hope is the same across filesystems, different features excepted)
Are you saying QGiS has a similar feature? I'd love to know more.
I am in Bangkok right now and while there is public transportation at every corner the air quality is still super low. I took this post as the rich are falling out of love with LUXURY cars. I got passed by a Lamborghini today while walking the streets and said to my friend, while everyone else was busy trying to snap pictures, that I would only be impressed if he could do his own oil change.

I expect $tatus $ymbols to continue falling out of favor and be replaced by self sufficiency. Rich are also falling out of love with alcohol and falling in love with fitness. This is good for everyone.
> The benefits of capitalism seem well articulated and history supports many of the assertions

This is if you ignore all the mass hunger or the homelessness that many people experience globally, or the mass exclusion from treatment which could be administrated but isn’t because people can’t afford it (take the recent misdistribution of covid vaccines which caused millions of unnecessary deaths).

And also if you ignore the climate disaster, which was caused by oil companies simply maximizing their profits, at the cost of all else, including our climate, engaging in a mass disinformation campaign to downplay the effect of carbon emissions, despite their own science telling them otherwise.

If you only focus on the upper and middle class of the richest nations, sure, this system does seem to work nicely. I’m sure you could say the same about communism if you only focus on Soviet upper party members.
Germany already didn't have the option though - Russia had already halted delivery. That wasn't Germany's call.

There is nothing credible to indicate that it actually sold for $11m that was apparently the asking price. It could have sold for more it could have sold for vastly less.

Yeah... I don't know. We don't, but we have talked about it though, because the Azure pipelines are. just. so. slow. On the other hand, more complexity and Rube Goldberg-machinery is not something we long for.

I have started tinkering with Fastbuild, and preliminary testing makes it seem like to good to be true, or the best thing since sliced bread. I'm sure there are drawbacks somewhere, but it's really fast.

Then again, a big chunk of our pipelines is not actually the compilation, but stuff like downloading nuget packages, uploading artifacts and stuff, all of which are. very. very. slow.

Hey, let's see how far I can push this bot and get it to say controversial things prompted by my controversial things and then I can post that it said controversial things while ignoring the controversial things I said to elicit the response! Bonus points because it cannot rat me out by posting on the MS company blog the bad things that were said to it.
Another big company is requiring 4 days in the office. Also from May. I am just curious if I will be fired coming only 3 days a week. Worst case I will commute by train and will login to the system in the train to clock in my 8 hours daily. Having commute time added to work time is acceptable to me. Still hate cheap open space office and will look for another job when the layoffs are over.
Not right now, but, soon-ish, we'll be able
to do that very well with HDR displays [...]

flat and Trinitron CRTs should be trivial.

Visually I think we're really close in most of the ways that matter, with advanced shaders like CRT-Royale.

However, there's an entire additional dimension missing from this discussion so far - latency. When paired with original game hardware up until the 16-bit era or so, CRTs offer close to a true zero latency experience.

It's not possible to recreate this with modern tech. When we add up everything in the stack (display, input drivers, everything) we're looking at over 100ms of lag.

http://renderingpipeline.com/2013/09/measuring-input-latency...

We're not totally without hope. As the (ancient!) article notes, higher refresh rate displays reduce many of these latencies proportionally. And for non-action games, latency doesn't matter too much in the first place.

"affordable" homes are just a give away to people on a magic list. I am all for more supply but spending significant quantities of cash on this is wasteful and counter-productive...
Yeah, I think we're talking about different groups. I'm talking about people who self-identify as "anti-car". I've never heard of anyone who uses "anti-car" as a derogatory term for others, but I wouldn't be surprised if they exist somewhere. Personally, it seems unreasonable to me to define "anti-car" as "supports other modes of transit"; "anti-car" by my definition (which I think is the main definition) requires emphatic opposition to cars.
Definitely. For the use-cases shown in the blog post, a table would be equally valid (and easier). The heuristic I use is to create custom types when the values will need to be used by SQL functions, or if support for things like ordering/aggregating are important to the application, and the rules to support those things require custom logic.

For example, SemVer requires that two version that differ only in metadata e.g. `1.0.0+metaA` and `1.0.0+metaB` should be considered equal. It would be error prone and tedious to push that logic onto every query that wanted to sort the table, but with a type we can define the logic once and have it work everywhere.
There should be incentives to keep bills simple.

Perhaps the threshold for passing a bill should increase with the bill's length.
> _in most cases_

I'm in my mid 30s, lived in 5 different countries (incl. UK, Austria, Poland, Portugal) and use a car perhaps 4 times per month (cab, when I'm feeling lazy).

Again, I put the emphasis there for a reason: I'm not saying that we don't need cars _at all_. What I'm saying is that we need _much fewer_ cars and there are many people like me. When I need to take a longer trip, I rent a cab. It costs me a fraction of what I'd need to pay if I drove.

Owning a car is a bit like watching TV vs. YT/VoD: it's partially driven by habits (also generation, culture, social status). I'm not speaking in absolute terms here. With better infrastructure we could reduce the need even further.
Whatever that number is, our current population is far above it. It doesn't need to keep growing indefinitely.
It seems like that would also explain a lot of Elon Musk's antics, although that may be giving him too much credit.
We cannot trust our current institutions to solve this problem because they hate white men. If we mean to solve the sperm count deficit we must first replace these institutions with ones that recognize the problem and have the desire to solve it.
I'm tempted to just downvote you and move on with my life but I'm genuinely curious.

Given that it's meaningless to Deploy something without Integrating the changes, what do you _actually_ mean by "You don’t need [CI]. Stick with CD only."

Are you just talking about testing the changes? Help us out here.
Maybe I am just an old fuddy duddy conservative, but this struck me from the post:

“In the grand scheme of things, one week isn’t that long. But to us, it felt like forever. We are constantly iterating and release multiple changes every day”.

I assume they mean multiple production releases? Is this because the product lacks maturity or stability, or is it just your culture?

I am asking because I am trying to imagine the impact of this on existing customers. It sounds like an awful lot of churn.

This obviously happens a lot in the “you are the product” space like Facebook, Google, etc. But this looks to be a data analytics product with paid tiers. Curious what tooling and processes you have to support this, and how you keep customers happy with this model.
Does this mean people need to move to where your team is supposed to be located? OR if you have an office nearby but none of your team is there that you still need to go to that office?

I interviewed for a role with at Amazon a pretty distributed remote team (didn't get it tho :\ ) so I wonder how this would work in practice? Just driving to an office to sit in remote meetings seems very silly and a waste of everyone's time.
That could also be like saying back in 2005 that thefacebook.com must have peaked because they bought Facebook.com for what was then considered a large sum of money…

it'll (slightly) scare folks who don't think too deeply about it or don't have lots of legal knowledge/experience, but not the folks most likely to use them for illicit tracking. all it does is alert them to do their tracking more surreptitiously and perhaps to cook up an alibi beforehand.
If I could down vote this as the OP I would.
Some crimes may be an indication of a bad decision or a mistake people have moved past others are reasonably an indelible indication of bad character.

For instance good people don't kill their wives for money, drag joggers into the bushes to rape them or molest children. Neither search engines nor governments seem well suited to make this distinction so I'd just as soon privilege non criminals ability to make decisions to protect themselves over the privacy and well being of the criminals not to punish wrongdoing but out of selfish self interest.

I do not support the right to be forgotten and think false DMCA claims out to carry the same fine as copyright infringement to discourage misuse.
Raymond Hettinger talks are a good start (e.g. https://youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M)

Every now and then read Zen of Python and try to understand it. Tim Peters somehow managed to fit enormous amount of wisdom in it.
Interesting, how do you define CI in that case? IIRC, CI was originally defined as integrating continuously (i.e. daily or more frequently) and CD is delivering said code continuously. How does CI hurt productivity and how do you do CD without CI?
When I was at AWS around 2018, well before the pandemic, I worked on a team that was structured as remote first. I spent two days appx in the office a week because I had an easy commute and it was nicer than my two bed apartment I shared with a roommate at times. We worked with IT to get a videoconference setup going where we could all hang out on Chime together for hours and hours through the workday. We did a lot of good work and had a manager who cared a lot about the ability for his team to have the flexibility they need to do their best work. And they did do their best work remote, with multiple team members living miles and miles from any corporate location. We had quarterlyish meetups and hung out at conferences together. We retained talent we couldn't have otherwise.

That Amazon doesn't trust its managers to make these decisions best for their two-pizza scope says a lot about the hierarchy of the company.

Also can't forget the environmental and economic impacts of more commuting, especially in what could still be considered a wartime energy market.
I'd like to be able to read the actual law on this. Happen to have a reference to the section of US Code where this is spelled out?

I'm not shocked they would make this decision but I am grateful. Keep driving off the best talent. More for the rest of us.
The alternative to majority rule is tyranny of the minority, specifically the minority with the most power/voice/money. I think what you're arguing for isn't against tyranny of the majority, but a limit to the power of the federal government/more local government.

For instance, the majority of the country wants universal healthcare and legalized cannabis, yet the tyranny of the minority keeps blocking these efforts for their benefit. Without majority rule, we have a ridiculously dysfunctional government that doesn't represent the people.
Isn't the hype more about the relative difference (I don't think most people are claiming NL is a utopia)? The amount of miles driven per capita in the US is twice as much as that of the NL. The percent of trips on bike is 25% in the NL vs 2% in the US. About half of all trips made in the NL are on bike, transit or walking. The other half of trips are made with cars. If the US suddenly had half the amount of driving per capita that it does now that would mean dramatic lifestyle differences on average.

Japan seems to have the least driving per capita of any wealthy nation (at least from the data I see), so maybe people should be using that as an example more, but I think a lot of people in the US really appreciate the physical protection that people on bikes often get in the NL (even if it isn't everywhere). It sends a different message about priorities.

In the US, even if you don't want to drive, that is often your only choice for most trips, whereas in the NL you can drive if you want, but it is easier to find an alternative. That is a 'car-oriented' mindset versus 'multi-modal transit' mindset. However, I am sure that the NL could still make many changes to reduce car ownership if it really wanted to.

Also I will never give up my ICE vehicle back home, which is a 20 year old diesel that has 270,000 miles on the clock. I am an original hacker/tinkerer and absolutely despise the tech and guardrails included in ALL modern cars but ESPECIALLY the EVs.
Clearly the clinical trials would show that. Wait, they didn't do any.
Only if your company is "Cloud Native" and thus real concerned about paying for over provisioned compute.

Gitlab makes it pretty easy to just toss a ci runner process on a vm or a physical box. You can get real far with a couple rack servers and some xeons for < $1000. You do have to over provision if your work load is not very consistent ( and of course pay for the power and rack space, and someone to mind them from time to time).
