It depends on exactly what and how you're doing it.

I have as devops managed both a small fleet of windows boxes (~20 machines) an a similar amount of Unix (Linx-based) machines.

Remote management of Windows was initially a pain to set up but once it was running it was fantastic. Being able to manage the entire application layer with properly tested, versioned code written in C# is an absolute killer. Things like debugging/logging etc are also "just there", and SQL Server is a fantastic database.

The Linux alternative on the other hand was easier to update and had some benefits to the developers (you can sort-of recreate a production-like environment in containers locally). The management after that was a huge pain because everything seems to have been built McGuyver style. I like Postgres but prefer using SQL Server (probably personal preference at this point tbh).

Things are different nowadays: systems like Kubernates apparently simplify the Linux side and make it affectively trivial to deploy and do cool stuff such as dynamically scale systems. It's also more efficient as you can remove the overhead of the Virtual Machines. It doesn't take much imagination to see that that would make a Unix-based system better.

I guess you can always hate on things which aren't production ready yet. Considering the progress made in the last month's and the speed things keep improving it will most certainly have impact on how the industry works.

That being said, why are we only talking about stable diffusion. What about openai whisper? I have never used a better speech to text software and it is multilingual.
Not long-term, no. Quite often I'll have bits of code commented out while I'm making changes or debugging issues, but I'll make sure that they're removed before I commit the code.

While I remove the old code, I do sometimes leave a comment explaining why the new code is there, e.g.

# Using a heap sort here as we keep getting data in a order that is pathological for quick sort
Exactly, a keyboard should replace that clumsy driving wheel that protrudes. It would be MUCH easier to pilot if every car function had a vim shortcut.
FTA: Can we verify the folklore that on a long bike trip the back-tire wear is less than that of the front tire?

I’ve never heard that folklore. I thought ‘everybody’ knew back-tires wear out a lot faster because the load on them is higher and because they’re the one being powered. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-rotation.html:

“It is common for a front tire to outlast a rear tire by as much as three to one. Rear tires have more weight on them, and also have to deal with drive forces.”
Except in Kyoto, where the streets do have names (I'm not sure if they're used in addresses, though).

And Mannheim in Germany is kind of Kyoto's mirror image: in a country of named streets, Mannheim has numbered blocks.
That's just not true. It feels true to Unix admins trying to do Unix things on Windows and getting frustrated when nothing feels familiar.

Let me quote the article directly: "no SSH"

WinRM is roughly equivalent and superior in many ways. E.g.: It takes quite the effort to produce a report of "some setting or flag" across a fleet of servers with SSH, Bash, Sed, Awk, etc..

Now try this with PowerShell:

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $varWithListOfServers { Get-Process 'ubiserver.exe' } | Export-Csv 'report.csv'

This will connect in parallel to all the servers in the list (could be thousands!), 32 at a time by default. It'll get all of the process info (memory, cpu time, etc...) for a game server, and then add the source server computer name as an extra column. Dumping this to a valid CSV is a no-brainer.

Put this in a scheduled task and you've got something Excel or Power BI or whatever can pick up and chart, graph, or send to a manager.

Try this with Linux. Seriously. Sit down and do the equivalent: many servers in parallel, batched to prevent overload, server name as an extra column, valid CSV output with proper quoting of quote characters, etc...

Oh, did you notice the lack of authentication rigmarole? The whole thing is secured and encrypted via Kerberos automatically. Copy the equivalent of that too. (Assume you have 10K servers that you haven't manually added the SSH keys of into your local workstation config.)

Put the script in the reply.

PS: I know some Unix people think that brevity is more important than time-to-solution, so to head off that whole argument:

PS C:\> Get-Alias | ? ResolvedCommandName -in ( 'Invoke-Command', 'Get-Process', 'Export-Csv' )

CommandType Name
----------- ----
Alias epcsv -> Export-Csv
Alias gps -> Get-Process
Alias icm -> Invoke-Command
Alias ps -> Get-Process

Ta-da, now it's just as unreadable as Unix:

icm -CN $s { ps 'ubiserver.exe' } | epcsv 'report.csv'
Fair enough. That aspect is definitely good; things get much easier once your kid starts to communicate their needs - with grunts, sounds, then pointing, then words, then sentences. But the complexity of their emotional life increases too.

There was an eerily accurate joke I read long time ago, that infants can be effectively modeled with a Finite State Machine. That time was, for me, the easy mode. Now my 1.5yo is Turing-complete and subject to halting problem (in more than one meaning of the term), and the almost 4yo is pretty much uncomputable by this point :).
They don’t. But it’s not like anyone could buy VW it’s partially owned by the state and the trade unions could easily block it.

All of that is reflected in VWs share price. Without all this ‘socialism’ VW could probably easily buy Ford itself, maybe even GM.
I used Python for the last 10 years or so for all sorts of cross-platform command line scripting stuff, but watching Python3's progress I have the impression that this simple use case is no longer their main focus (I sometimes wonder if there's any focus or vision at all tbh). After having tinkered with Deno for the last 2 weeks or so I must say that this is indeed the 'better Python' (for me at least, and not because of Typescript - the language is more or less just an implementation detail for writing command line utilities - but because of Deno's approach to package management).
Wait, there must be more to it. If this is open to the competition to build on, what exactly is the EU forcing Apple to open up?

I'm too lazy to research why exactly Microsoft can't use this API to interface with iMessage and instead opting for a half-baked bluetooth solution, but there must be some hurdle.
So lets escape this! Lets say the process ends! Now B has fully determined itself such that C is determined and now A is determined as well.

Is A now deterministic? No, A isn't anything anymore.

Nothing is happening.

A isn't now deterministic; A was determined and now our physics is stopped. Where is the determinism at? Not within A, because clearly during A B wasn't deterministic because of self-reference to C. Not afterward either, because now it isn't doing anything.
I'm not fundamentally against them, and I don't think they're scams, but it was a poor choice in their case. I also don't think this one wasn't legit, but I think that an objective bystander would not have been able to say it was a good decision.

- They had a $250,000 house that was completely paid off.

- They used the sale of that house as their down payment with a reverse mortgage to buy a $400,000 house, so they effectively didn't pull any equity out.

- It was very clear that they would need nursing home care in 10-15 years due to several health issues in both their backgrounds.

- They had no investments, no savings, no assets, and they were planning on living almost completely off of social security.

- It was clear that they had no basic understanding of what a reverse mortgage even was.

At the time I predicted that they'd need to move to a nursing home or an assisted living facility in ~15 years. They wouldn't have any way to pay for that, and selling the house wouldn't be an option because they'd be completely underwater on it. They'd eventually try to get a nurse to stop by regularly, but when they get to that point it'll be paid by us because they won't be able to afford that and food.

My predictions were off slightly, but not for the better. The house is already underwater due to a variety of factors. Mother in law's cancer is aggressive enough that she won't live long enough to need nursing care. Father in law is right on schedule. We're already paying for food occasionally because we found out that when faced with not being able to afford both food and medicine they were sending cash to one of their kids.

I think the ideal case for a reverse mortgage is a healthy elderly couple that either has no children to leave things to, children who are self-sufficient, or who have sufficient retirement income but they want a bit of splurge.

The "this" was a reverse mortgage that they had been coached to call "not a reverse mortgage"

This was actually in an episode of Aggretsuko.

And in the world of the show, populated by cute talking animal characters, the AI companion was an impossibly handsome unicorn.

I have been making a similar effort and found that gradually these glimpses became easier to get into and I've even had some spontaneous ones.
I do wonder how much this can be expanded alongside an urban 9 to 5 life.
I respectfully disagree. Having been an admin for both (started out as a Windows developer and NT4 sysadmin, so you can’t say I wasn’t experienced) I’ve always found UNIX to be vastly easier to manage servers.

Yes, Bash has a lot of warts (so much so that I wrote my own shell) but Powershell creates lots of new warts of its own.

As for automation, Windows doesn’t even come close to
UNIX-like systems for east of scripting and automation. There’s just no contest.

Bash might be ugly at times but at least its ugliness is consistent. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve found parameters parsed differently between applications (because Windows passes parameters as a single string rather than an array of arguments like POSIX systems), or that so called headless installers still have GUI prompts and/or spin off a non-blocking process so it’s challenging figuring out when it’s complete. Or Powershell routines come back with an unexpected type thus breaking your entire pipeline. Or don’t even support basic help flags so you cannot discover how to use the damn routine to begin with. Or the utterly ridiculous numeric error code that MS returns rather than descriptive error messages. Or its over engineered approach to logging that makes quick inspections of the systems state far more involved than it should be, or even just managing simple things like software updates requires while other expensive 3rd party solutions because the whole application and OS package management situation is fundamentally broken at its foundations …I could go on. But suffice to say there’s so many painful edge cases to consider with Windows.

Windows does get somethings right though: RDP is a great protocol and its backwards compatibility story is second to none. But for server administration, Windows feels like a toy OS compared to most UNIX-like systems. As in it has support for pretty much anything you’d want to do
With modern server management processes but yet everything it does support it does so in a really awkward and immature (technologically speaking) way.

I’m sure it’ll get there though. But likely not before I retire

That is so true. Often the stated goal is to deconstruct society, not to help any minority.
I learned Perl first and found it incredibly useful just because of regexps but Perl programs got messy as they got larger. Python regexps are just that bit less convenient and that trivial amount matters but in python I feel that once you get to writing functions and perhaps even classes it accelerates far ahead of Perl and you can write understandable, maintainable large programs in Python.

You're not forced to dip into the OO side of things though and I've heard people suggest to me that Python is a language where no rules apply and no structure exists. They feel that they can dive in without the care they would have to take in Java or C++. I think they are very wrong but you can certainly write terrible code if you want and perhaps this "all-things-to-all-people" aspect of it is part of the success.
Looks really cool!

I tried the install script and it asked me for my computer password. It feels really dangerous to give a random script from the internet my password. Could you maybe change this, so this is not necessary?

I think that one of my favorite jokes, "linguists like ambiguity more than most people." applies to your use of "language" here. The ambiguity is that some people say "language" to refer to the intended meaning of groups of words rather than the composition of words each with individual meanings. One can be neutral and the other can be highly biased. Furthermore, overall meaning is more than what is denoted, it is derived from culture and experience far more than it is from distant roots. eg: ask most people where "deadlines" come from and they will probably say "their boss."
Interesting that you and gp both are not seeing Fdroid update itself. Sounds kind you must both be using a custom repository that excludes updates to the F-droid app, since you've both had that same experience.

It doesn't help that steam engines are surprisingly not all that noisy either. For the sheer amount of force a steam engine creates basically the only real noise is the exhaust steam, which if piped elsewhere you won't hear much.
I couldn't really find this on their site, what's the difference between the two? Why did they fork, are there ideological differences or something? I'm not using gitea yet, but was considering it.
I went with my family as a child. I remember it being night, and pouring rain. We got to a road that was completely washed out with like a mini river running through it and a huge gap. A random guy had two boards over the gap and was helping guide people's cars over the two boards, cars dangling over the rushing water in pitch black.

I've been back as an adult (and I'm visiting next week!) and it's an amazing place with beautiful people. But you do have to adapt to it a little, unlike so many other tourist destinations where you never have to. Not a bad thing.
I got that from the article, and didn't come across as too ranty to me, just standard talking about what a pain some thing was to do in an organisation.

Maybe a different country thing - devs in the US might be expected to be a lot more positive, in other countries we find complaining cathartic + this comes across as standard chat about work.
Eh, not full well. I myself have towed a Miata rear wheels down after removing the driveshaft. (In a parallel universe I very well could have been the tow operator that the commenter some levels up saw) My understanding is that re:Miata the diff isn't the problem, (since its always just kinda full of oil/grease that is flung around by the gears) it's that the transmission may only pump oil when operating normally. I think my previous comment replied to the wrong person actually. Things are getting blurry at 3am here...
This is exactly what we’re going for. It lets candidates know that we value their time and have worked as hard as we can to create an interview process that lets us gauge whether or not you’d be a good fit for the job in the least amount of time as possible.

My critique is not that this topic has shown up "a time or two" on the HN frontpage. And to be perfectly frank, I think you know that. My critique is that this topic shows up constantly on the HN frontpage. And more broadly, it claims a level of coverage far out of proportion to its impact on almost anything.

> This is exactly what gaslighting is, a trusted person changing your perception

Well, not always. A gaslighting, especially when you are the target of it, will look as something completely inexplicable and without a central point.

Do you remember who you first heard about the wonderful AngularJS from? Personally, I don't. But information about it was pouring in everywhere. At some point, several companies where I worked started massively adopting Angular. In the end it was a complete disaster. A huge amount of code was written, all that code went to the trash because it was unmaintainable and unextensible (although the advertising posters promised otherwise).

Do you remember who you first heard about the wonderful React from? Did somebody told you that there is some magic thing called ShadowDOM and it solves all the problems, even better then Blockchain and ChatGPT does? But many years later it was revealed that actually it does not. Now we all are just slaves of old myths massively produced by Google/Microsoft/Facebook back in the days. That's what gaslighting is all about.
Counter-point: we used to call lousy things gay, and made up a whole sexuality for men who took care of their appearance (metrosexual). Perhaps it wasn't as bad as the Nazis' "useless mouths", but it certainly wasn't great.

Nowadays we call white immigrants "expats" and other immigrants "immigrants".

Words have power.

The problem is when people start using words to create a sort of password game. It keeps some people busy, makes them feel better than others for knowing the passwords, and does little for anyone else.

I don't won't to be tethered 24/7 to the internet to use my mobile phone. Data exchange isn't free, both in money and in environmental impact. That's a flawed assumption to begin with.
Doesn't that also depend on the age? As a European visiting the US, I always found it amazing that so many mostly older random stranger just start conversations everywhere. Something almost no one would do in my home country. But I also noticed that younger people (especially twens) wouldn't do this and appeared to be very shy, avoiding any unneeded conversation. It was like that even before Covid.
Python has been my favorite for products and scripting. I've been advocating for Python's dominance when the world was after Java. But now I'm more inclined towards JavaScript. And agree with you Deno is taking the right approach (as opposed to nodejs).

Having JavaScript in the front end and backed both can reduce resource requirements as well.
The first question which comes to my mind is what are performance implications of running database like you do inside k8s vs EC2 vs bare metal? And how did you solve multitenancy? Does the operator handle lifecycle of database per customer simply or is it something more complicated?

ps. And how you deal with migrations?
ps. Forgive me if I'm asking for too much!
That's accurate! Another bottleneck we have is Mathesar-level state management. We keep some state to reduce redundant Postgres queries. During most of development we focused on single-database use cases, but for the demo we had to expand to managing state for multiple databases in as isolated way as possible. That forced us to face some technical debt in assumptions we made about our state and how we organize it. State-related technical debt is the most challenging, imo.
I have never heard of this before, but it reminds me of an old Sega game called Seaman where you would talk to a virtual pet through a microphone plugged into the dreamcast controller, and the seaman would remember what you told it and develop a sort of personality.

Internally seaman probably had more in common with ELIZA than replika due to extremely limited hardware capabilities of a game console from the 90s but it's interesting how there's a persistent desire across the decades for your computer to be your friend.
> However the proselytizing of rusters, notably on reddit

It's important to remember three facts about mass-market anonymous forums such as Reddit:

* There is no way to know whether someone who claims to be a user of Rust actually has much experience with Rust, or has even used it. It is common for people to intentionally write antagonistic posts pretending to be member of a group they dislike.

* There is nothing stopping a single motivated person from posting from multiple accounts. The only limit to post throughput is how quickly text can be written (or copy-pasted, or generated).

* People who are most likely to be considered experts in their field (due to talent, experience, intelligence, etc) probably have jobs and/or hobbies, so online forums are mostly filled with posts from people who would never be considered an expert if you met them in real life.

If you want to know what active users of a language think, find specific named individuals and follow them. For Rust, I've found most active users to be very experienced in C/C++ -- the opinion of someone who's spent 20 years as a professional software engineer writing aeronautic firmware is far more signal-ful than that of the typical teenager, and such people do not spend time on contemporary Reddit.
