Agreed, pretty annoying when I’m trying to upload a unlisted screen cast or something under one minute to send to a specific person, and then, when I send it to him, they don’t have the ability to seek or easily restart the video.

I know it’s possible to change the URL manually, but I’ve seen it not work, depending on the type of client that views the video - YouTube should allow the viewer to switch off shorts even for a specific video

The sore points were hit right in the sore, so to speak. I am guessing the founder/CEO-as-dictator aspect is also not very welcoming. It's quite telling: how could a society be democratic if some of its most (if not the most) important aspects, the lifecycles of companies, are fundamentally non-democratic. I should know, I own 3 (not profitable, but that's another matter) companies on 2 continents.

I think–the way societies often have social norms around potentially harmful things–this reality is a significant driver of social norms among "old money" families with generational wealth. In those circles there is social pressure to not to talk about money, to not spend ostentatiously, and to socialize your children together at specific boarding schools and universities where they will be among others who share these values.

In my mental model, propaganda can come from anyone with a political agenda, and that will certainly include economists from time to time.
The only reference in that wiktionary article is a Polish dictionary. The Wikipedia one has no references. I'm French, and I can tell you with confidence that someone saying "bon viveur" would be met with laughter and contempt.

The GP is bashing Europe for "recycling its long tradition of aristocratic affluence" but is at the same time using fancy foreign phrases -- "bon viveur", "nouveau riche"... What is be the reason? Well, to show off and lend credibility to the bashing: "see, I'm part of the circle too, I know the shibboleths; my criticism has more weight because it comes from an insider", is the subliminal message. Using the phrase wrong just looks foolish in these circumstances. Like a child who learned a complicated word and tries to impress with it, but uses it wrong.
Anyone have tips to avoid this?

Avoid? No. It probably can't be avoided in the long-run. But you can mitigate the effects. A great take on this can be mined from this little rant by John Goodman's character in The Gambler:

can't scale further before we have microservices.

Scale what? Load (Seems not)

Scale the team? This is often an overlooked aspect of microservices you're able to isolate the domain knowledge to smaller services and hire more specialized engineers who can focus on a specific silo of the app and only have to work to discrete APIs.

Scale features? There's a legit argument to be made that if you see yourself going to a microservice architecture in the future based on your current codebase or product roadmap that doing it sooner then later is always going to be preferable. The bigger the monolith the harder it is to unwind. It could also be that there's some tech debt that's something of a limiting factor, making the change in architecture could be an opportunity to address some of that.

>Seems weird to admit you haven't read the article and are just commenting on the headline and speculating

Why does it seem weird? I'm not trying to deceive anyone.

I didn't ask for discussion, I was just stating an opinion. I openly admitted it was completely speculative by the wording I used, but I haven't changed my mind.

>At this point, I'm betting this was a paid for study and article by a group interested in keeping corporate real estate values up. I'll suspect most articles before this point were too.

I would also guess that some of the people who were arguing with me probably didn't read the article either, at least at the time they retorted. Perhaps if they did, they could tell he how this article was different from all the others recently. I suspect it's just more of the same.

FWIW, I have read other articles, and they all seem contrived as if they were planted to sway opinion. "Office cooler talk is invaluable," is one of the talking points. "Communication is invaluable in an open office," also seems pretty suspect. I haven't experienced either of these. The most productive environment I've ever worked in was when I had an office, or shared an office wither another person. I'm certainly not the only person with this experience. "WFH makes you more likely to be outsourced," is another threatening talking point. The newest one is "WFH makes you more likely to be replaced from AI." I guess this one is, "for God's sake, think of the junior developers!"

I've been around the block and working professionally for a while. I've read thousands of articles in my adult lifetime over 20+ years. Just based on life experience, all these arguments seem contrived to me. You might differ in your opinion.

The problem with in office work as an IC is that all day is spent helping other people and then you have to do your own IC work in the evenings.

The problem with remote work is the constant slack interruptions to help other people and you have to do your own IC work around that.

We have essentially a documentation, coordination, and communications problem that nobody has figured out how to solve in a remote first world. I'd be interested to hear people's solutions to this.
Sometimes I bake Nix into my personal Makefiles.

This means that we lose the non-Nix build processes, but I get to keep the best of both worlds, and don't have to run `nix shell` or setup direnv.

"Uhm, actually" I use Guix, but the idea is the same:

SHELL = guix shell -m manifest.scm -- bash
public: hugo content
emacs $(pwd) --batch -l export.el
[...]

Or without an external manifest:

SHELL = guix shell --pure bash coreutils emacs emacs-ox-hugo hugo -- bash

This is equivalent to the common shebang trick:

#!/use/bin/env -S guix shell -m manifest.scm -- bash

Or just invoking Guix inside the recipe:

public: hugo content
guix shell -m manifest.scm -- emacs $(pwd) --batch -l export.el

Depending on the complexity of `export.el` (< 5 lines?), I'll often keep that inside the Makefile too; the less files, the better!

But I get it if one wants that file available to call from elsewhere.
Just my opinion but make is still the best ci/cd tool. I see way too many places with layers of tools and yaml configs and hosted cvs pipelines (that you can't easily recreate locally), when a make file would do just fine if not better.

O'Reilly events (especially OSCON) were certainly one of the losses from the pandemic. Though one suspects the events were already on the bubble given how quickly and completely they were axed.

The obvious solution is to leave those enterprise customers behind on the legacy edition of Windows and launching something new. But Microsoft seems incapable of going to market with something new also. They created Windows 10x, and then went and merged the new parts back into the legacy platform.

Being present at the conference is the base point of conversation.

But if you’re running out of “how to get to know someone” topics, that’s more generally stuff like.. well, my reply converts to nested conference talk outline here, and so:

- invent a question
- about something cool
- cool to you is fine
- as long as it’s relevant
- the conference is relevant
- so are tangents from it
- sometimes the venue too
- or about them
- ask what’s cool to them
- about the conference
- or tangentially about it
- or the venue architecture
- ask for more details
- or be quiet and sip coffee
- quiet isn’t always an end
- it’s restful
- mirror how long your answers are
- the spice must flow
- don’t drown them in it
- add 10% to be extroverted
- subtract 50% to be introverted
- you can be plainly trying here
- you don’t need to disguise it
- being obvious can be encouraging
- being obvious isn’t bad
- subtlety is not mandatory
- tell them you appreciated the chat
- unless you totally hated it
- it costs nothing to be nice
- say it plainly
- it was nice to chat
- i appreciate what you said
- glad to meet you
- have fun at the conference
> Should be illegal.

Hum... Isn't that one of the main goals of the GDPR?
Power I guess, only because they can. But if you communicate by Cell Phone (txt, email...), encryption can be stopped by law only because they are closed systems. But I tend to believe Cell Phones already come with a backdoor, so laws do not really matter for those.

If using gpg via email on an Open System (Linux, BSDs), good luck stopping that.
While some of the more popular DVDs are in terrible shape, I have been surprised at how many we have checked out that seem to never have been watched. I'd estimate 9 out of 10 are either mint condition or have fingerprints that are easily wiped clean.

I suspect not many people check out DVDs anymore. Our library is great in that it puts all their new arrivals in one section.

Same thing with CDs.
>Guiness has always been a half-commercial silly enterprise.

No it is, in actuality, a marketing organization. They make all their money selling records. Their business is contracting with companies to come up with a marketable record, and then "observing" the client breaking that record, and then publishing that record. It's no different than those "award" companies that exist only to make up new awards to give companies.

It's the same as when JD power gave Chevy an award for "Highest Initial Quality", as if there is any customer value to a car that starts the best and immediately degrades.

The main difference is that you can type the whole presentation without using a mouse/touchpad. The presentation looks nice out of the box.

Also, while typing you will think about your message and content. Not about how to adjust layout.

I guess you could toggle wifi on and off to conserve power. The S3 uses about 20mA without wifi, which isn’t too bad. It’s on par with the Pi Pico and Arduino Nano Connect as I recall. They all guzzle power when wifi is enabled, otherwise idle fairly low and peak around 80-120mA depending on processor power.
You only have to rebuild the artifacts that are affected by each change.

And each change (assuming CI/CD) only causes the changes build artifacts to be pushed to prod.

So the amortized build/push cost depends on how often you are making changes that affect multiple artifacts versus fewer artifacts.

If an individual change only affects either the web binary or one of the cron job binaries then those build times will be shorter than they would be to build the big binary, and the amount of data pushed to prod will be smaller.

If an individual change affects multiple binaries then building all of them will take longer, and more data will need to be pushed (although - maybe it nets out the same in terms of fa out to multiple servers - your cron servers only need the cron binary, your web servers only need the web binary)

So, if the vast majority of the time you are only impacting a single component build, you save build time and deploy bytes by building smaller artifacts.

At the cost that making cross-system changes requires a slightly longer build time.
Ya I don’t think there’s something actively coordinated by some central party but definitely seems a bit close to manufacturing consent by a group of similarly incentivized parties.

> Interestingly, the concept of PHP prevents exactly such problems, as a monolith written in PHP only ever executes the code paths that are necessary for the respective workload.

This is just lovely when you have hundreds of PHP endpoints written by your predecessors and each endpoint has rewritten an arbitrary slice of the stack (usually data model layer) because there is no common code path required. Refactoring anything below the html layer becomes impossible.

In fact, calling it a software monolith is misleading, because each PHP script is its own little microservice with poorly-defined API boundaries.
How was any of this hidden? It was plain a day from the start of the pandemic that not being present, not building social relationships and just being a name in a chatroom is going to have consequences in the velocity of your career.

Anyone claiming otherwise is lying to you because they don't want to lose the perk of the flexibility and don't personally care about their own trajectory at that point in their lives (nothing wrong with that, just wrong to claim its without tradeoffs).

I'm 55 years old and I have _never_ been mentored in person by a co-worker, despite having spent most of my career working on teams, and despite _trying_ in many different workplaces to set up mentoring relationships. For neurodivergent folks - who probably make up the bulk of programming teams, if we're honest - the camaraderie and team-building and all that is a mythical thing that normies experience, but we don't, and it's also a minefield of things that can go wrong because the norms of social interaction sometimes elude us or we simply can't play-act them (I'll never forget being told by my boss that it always seemed like I was lying because I didn't maintain eye contact well). Remote work levels the playing field, and normies hate it because they can't bully and abuse us as easily online as they can in person.

I've come to the conclusion that Taxes are incompatible with Encryption and Free Speech. If we're ever going to progress as a civilization, something other than ancient and frankly barbaric practice Taxes has to designed and implemented.

Every justification for usage or backdoor encryption is eventually rooted in monitoring financial transactions, or preserving the means in which a state can collect them. The "War on Terror" and "War on Drugs" are perfect examples of this.
As much as I wouldn't be without my bluetooth headphones (usually bone conduction for a little extra safety/comfort/convenience) and don't use a 3.5mm jack on anything mobile myself, I can definitely agree it has advantages that are attractive enough that some really want it over what I prefer:

♯ No extra device to remember to charge (unless, perhaps, you have big noise-cancelling cans).

♯ No running out at an inconvenient/irritating time if you don't charge them (or are just out for a long time).

♯ Standard fitting so anything can plug in, makes carrying a spare set (or buying one in an “emergency”) inexpensive.

♯ Easily plug in a double+ adaptor too (not seen it for a while that I remember, but there was a spate of people on public transport listening to the same music that way). Try that with BT.

♯ No pairing issues (tell me you've never had them, even with supposedly good quality kit, and I'll call you a lier!).

♯ Easily switch between devices (my headset doesn't always want to connect when I switch from work to personal phone, so I have to go through the BT-on-and-off-again-at-both-ends dance. At least these days decent devices (and most cheap ones) remember multiple pairings, it used to be even worse.

♯ The crackling from a poor connection was rare with a good jack+socket in my experience, and BT is not immune to interference in busy environments. I've also experienced BT dropping out temporarily if devices get too close (i.e. I sit and bend to adjust a shoelace while my phone is on a trouser pocket).

And of course there is little reason not to have a standard jack as a fallback option, even if you do usually use wireless playback.

As someone who attended way too many events pre-pandemic, at some point I came to the conclusion that life is too short to eat bad conference venue food just because it's there.
