I prefer to think of it as a meeting where Robert's Rules are followed and enforced vs. an anarchist shouting match.

You call it milquetoast.

I call it pleasant.

Things get done under Robert's Rules, nothing gets accomplished when everyone is yelling "shitcock" at each other in an overwhelming din.
Not sure what the percentage is, but you can find what's being tested in the testing guide https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/testing-ove... , the linux test project https://linux-test-project.github.io/ and few other places. Maintainers of drivers usually test those.

Low gravity CTF in Urban Terror was the best. So many good maps where the right jump, curve, and slide could be done from flag to flag. So satisfying.
Did you tested it and found people who know a lot to be slower in answering questions then those who know only a little?

Depending on how you define tested, yep, people who I know that know a lot are not slower answering questions that know only very little.
I'm not sure what my problem could be - but I just can't watch anything on the site. The inline ads and popup banner ads at the bottom haunt me. Plus the stretching of forty lines of text into a twenty minute video irritates me. When it works it's golden - no doubt about that (say changing a spark plug) but most of the time it's the wrong medium and it makes things worse.

> do the absolutely bear minimum not to be sued for GPL Violation

Could you expand on what you mean? Are they violating the GPL? What does it mean to do the bare minimum but not violate the GPL?

It's unrealistic to expect corporations to go above and beyond when complying with something like a code license. If you want someone to do something, put it in the text of the license.
It does give better performance predictability! Decrementing a refcount may either be a no-op or expensive but crucially the op can happen only during that particular call, nowhere else.

It is true that in the last 30 Russia has been absorbing American, particularly African American culture as far as music, movies, and dress are concerned. Russian culture in Russia is in decline generally.
This becomes a question of orders of magnitude.

On Twitter/Instagram/whatever, you're exposed to the arbitrary censorship choices of the platform AND the risk of being deplatformed for any reason. Once that happens, you don't just lose deliverability, you lose every single relationship you had.

With an email list, at least you retain the list should your deliverability tank. It might take a lot of work to migrate to a new non-deny-listed setup, but at least you have a (hopefully double-)opted-in relationship with each prior reader still.

Climate Change Pressures in the 21st Century
Agreed, transforming a monolith into a 'distributed monolith' just creates a different set of even worse problems, the root issues are still unsolved.

Still, thanks to AWS it's vogue, expensive and probably keeps half of us employed when we have to untangle it all!
That's not a hypothetical. The Animal Liberation Front exists. But that's a small group of people that mostly attacks labs and farms. That's a very different scale and mode than a literal war.

Currently we tolerate the enslavement of humans but contrary to popular narratives about the US Civil War, we haven't fought any wars specifically to end slavery of other humans. We have had successful "slave rebellions" (e.g. Haiti, which continues to pay the debt imposed by their former slave masters for "damages and economic losses" to this day) but anti-slavery sentiments among those not in the demographic directly suffering from slavery never went quite that far. The anti-colonialist coup in Portugal was fueled more by the military's resentment over the forever-war required to suppress the colonies than any sympathy for their cause of liberation. The US Civil War was a reaction to the attempted secession of its then-member states rather than specifically their stance on slavery.

It's plausible that we'd see acts we'd consider terrorism in the name of animal liberation (arguably some of the ALF's past actions fit into this category) much like we have seen with other liberation movements. But as this is a struggle entirely led by those not themselves in the group of the oppressed, the dynamics are different from most civil rights struggles. Arguably even the abolition of formal slavery in most countries had less to do with zealous support from non-slaves and more with economic factors making slavery less appealing. And even then the countries only got away with slavery in their own mainland while still happily continuing to benefit from overseas slavery, much like we now mostly hide animal suffering in farms, closed trucks and meat processing factories rather than back alleys and town squares.
If it can be used as a pointer, it can be used as textual input. People use existing tools like eye-tracking for text input.
Exactly! All this debate seems to stem from people being forced to work with a big ball of mud and then concluding that no one process should ever be allowed to become that big, because big processes are balls of mud. And so, having missed the real lesson (which isn’t ‘don’t make it big’ but rather ‘don’t make it out of mud’!) they build a big ball of little balls of mud.
Tesla's FSD, despite a decade of promises, is still not ready. Most (non-Tesla) cars have some speed limit display, either based on vision or maps, and it works ~90% of the time. It's okay as a FYI, but not reliable enough to be more than that.

Before we can mandate software to observe the limits, we need proper software-readable signage.

Sometimes signs are placed between two roads running in parallel, and apply to the other one. Humans understand that subtlety in sign position, but computer vision doesn't. Signs can also be obscured by trees, etc.

My car's GPS-based speed detection doesn't understand height, so on crossings with bridges/overpasses it picks one at random. When I drive on a highway it can briefly flip to a speed limit of some ramp, and I wouldn't want this to cause phantom breaking.
This also ignores the overhead of business processes. The dev effort may be very low to switch the (flawed) example of text to database, but the product/project team is going to have to create and maintain stories for it, the qa team is going to have to test it, the documentation team is going to have to update their information (where necessary, of course), the support team is almost guaranteed to get calls about it so they need to be informed, and I don't know about you, but my production data rarely looks like my dev/qa data, so there's the non-zero potential for bugs to creep up in the data migration.

All of that sounds a lot more than "the same" to me.
It would be cool if there was a “syndication” format for sites to post summaries of all their new content, so then you could have a reader on the client side to collate the news feed of the day.

This syndication format would need to be really simple though. :)
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.
Sure is beautiful when earth puts on her electric crown.
The article reminded me that I don't understand what managers are for :-) Especially if a manager is in fact a software engineer promoted to that role. The promotion likely occurs because a) the person is good at being a developer, and b) the manager's position is better paid than his previous one. Which combines a perverse incentive (of course anyone would like a raise) with a completely different set of responsibilities that the person hasn't been trained for.

I do like the ideas coming out of scrum, some of which would fit well with what the author is describing.

For example, the anecdote about a junior engineer struggling with documentation for a new feature sounded like an opportunity for pairing with a more knowledgeable team member, and talking through the feature while planning the documentation for it. When the author said that he instead would write a design doc and the engineer would implement it, he was not acting as a manager, but rather as a software engineer.

As another example, the author talks about planning the work, which, in a scrum environment, would involve a product owner (someone from the business side), and the rest of the team, to collectively identify and plan the next set of features. In a (sprint) review, the team, together with other interested parties, can inspect their progress and talk about the roadmap (something that the author is trying to do on his own).

I understand the purpose of senior software engineers, or of a product owner. Of a manager, not that much.
If your database isn't the performance issue and those two services spent 99% of the response time on calculating the 15755th digit of pi, not separating the database isn't a problem. Similarly, if both of your services need to fetch some user information, but you haven't created a user information service with its own database they could both talk to, having a shared database is fine.

Splitting each and every service with its own database, talking to other services to access their database by default is cargo-cult behavior. All it's going to do is make it hell for you to work on those services.
If you use Substack and don't like this behavior you can turn it off, go to settings and look for "Subscribe prompts on post pages" and uncheck it.

I love Substack but think this feature is ill-considered. I am sure it converts by the numbers, but I want 100% of my readers to have a pristine experience reading, foremost.
That begs the question: does correcting a homophone constitute a correction of grammar or of spelling? And another: can I successfully provoke another correction by 'misusing' "begs the question"?

Reminds me of this famous sentence from puzzles/logic legend Martin Gardner:

“Wouldn’t the sentence ‘I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign’ have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?”
What's the news story here?

Isn't it typical business practice to need to account for potential pending liabilities.
Immediately noticed the irony as well. Abysmal contrast on the text, also on the Resume page.
The variations of the idiom's translations are definitely interesting. If you're curious to read more about the language variations, Le Figaro has a nice article about the idiom's equivalent in other languages (though they use the variant « quand les poules auront les dents »).

From Le Figaro [1]: « Précisons enfin que notre expression est un idiotisme et qu'elle ne possède pas, par conséquent, de stricts équivalents à l'étranger. Ainsi nos voisins anglais ont-ils l'habitude de dire «quand les cochons voleront», les Espagnols, de lancer «quand les grenouilles auront des poils» et les Allemands, de flanquer un «quand les poissons apprendront à voler». »

English translation: "Finally, let us specify that our expression is an idiom and that it does not, therefore, have strict equivalents abroad. Thus our English neighbors are used to saying "when the pigs fly", the Spaniards say "when the frogs have hair" and the Germans say "when the fish learn to fly."

I'm mad I got one of the 'reconditioned' first-gen units as part of the recall on the DS1. I don't feel comfortable using a 'used' CPAP, even if it was "reconditioned". I'd love to know their logic as to why some people got brand new DS2s and others got used DS1s back.

I'm still waiting regardless -- I have a Dreamstation Go that's perpetually stuck because they haven't come up with any remediation efforts. The best part about the Dreamstation Go users is that we're getting 'general' recall emails that imply we need to provide further info but then smack in the middle of it just tell Dreamstation Go users to just continue waiting because we're still screwed over.

At this point I just want the $1300 or so I've spent on this damn thing back in cash so I can go buy a Transcend Micro and move on.

I put both of these recalls in the day they went live in June 2021.
I am totally for remote work but this is absolutely a real problem, and I see my junior engineers suffer tremendously from it. One asked me what made me so successful at my job, and there were many factors but being in the office really did help me. Success here doesn’t just mean solving chunks of problems from jira tickets but creating entirely new products and solutions which have then gone on to become important parts of the organizations offerings. This was only possible because of my initial years where I was constantly absorbing and brainstorming with folks in the office on a daily basis. We really need to find a way to replicate that magic in the remote environment.

One of the ideas I’m thinking about is to hire only within a metropolitan area, but keep remote. Every month we just organize a 3 day retreat where everyone’s expected to attend it, which could be in a resort or a hotel even. This might satisfy the interaction and brainstorming itch while still keeping everyone happy with their remote arrangements.
> I have children between the ages of 9 and 26. You know what they are passionate about? Minecraft, Mr Beast, Travel vlogs, mommy vlogs, “reality” videos, etc.

When I grew up, and computers and the internet was new, we were mostly using it for entertainment and fun as well. I learned programming early, but I was an exception at my school (now lots of kids learn programming at an even earlier age). And I still wasted a lot of high school playing Anarchy Online (MMORPG), to the point where it affected my grades.

I'm not sure the value they'd get is the videos they watch regularly.. but just the knowledge/habit/skills around finding a video to help learn a new topic or solve a problem.

I've heard that they're losing the skills around using a general purpose PC though, since they're so used to smart phones, iPad and simple ready-made web solutions for everything. Not sure that's a big problem though.
I don't think it has anything to do with function workloads specifically. Vercel prices total bandwidth at $40/100GB over 1TB.
"What is this? The requirements were so clear and even written down!"
I would agree, but i really don't know if this happens. top usbc can endure 120-240W and 40gigabits/s and I am not sure we've even hit the limits, some Chinese brands had mock phones with abnormal charging speeds (at least I'm about sure 120w). Like I can't imagine what new features some port could bring, that we'll want in a phone that fits in our pockets. The only thing changin imo is maybe a new fancy more durable form factor, but I can't say usb-c is that bad in this direction
> "For what it's worth Tesla has been limiting how fast older models are able to charge at superchargers, with the stated goal of extending battery longevity."

This limitation is not based on the vehicle model you drive but based on the age and condition of the battery. Certain high-milage battery packs that have been supercharged frequently during their life tend to be the ones affected.

But if you replace an old, rate-limited battery with a new (or newer) one, you get back the full charging speed.
The form factor seems similar to a retainer so it might not be much of an impediment to talking as long as you can turn it off and on.

I do believe parentage changes "the difficulty level" of life. Some kids are born to loving, nurturing, well-off parents and essentially "play the game of life" on level easy. Some kids play on level hard. However, it's the kid's own choice how they will play it.

In the 8 bit days there were programming books meant to be read back to back. I loved them as a kid - though I'm not sure that I learned much from that exercse. Even K&R "the C programming language" (first edition, the second edition wasn't as readable from what I remember, though that might be just because it was too repetitive for someone who had read the first edition) could be read that way.

These days that isn't a good use of paper books. There is rarely any reason to start with any one construct, and if you are not a novice programmer you know there must be something that does what you need and don't want the book to assume you understand the syntax of the while loop when you look up the do-while loop.

I don't think it's cheap to do early. The costs are in people writing, drawing, talking, and often debating, rather than doing iterations on a basic working solution, and the outcome usually doesn't really work and needs to be redone in a year or two when more information is available.

Which is not to say it isn't necessarily worth the cost. I just think the cost shouldn't be downplayed; it should be an investment undertaken with open eyes.
As long as it's spoken in an acceptable manner and/or venue, this kind of honesty is fine. Everybody already knows what's up. Management isn't as easily fooled as people want to think, there's simply an expected level of decorum and keeping up appearances.
Note that "market value"/market cap is a quite restrictive view of a companies size - it's a measure of the value of issued shares, not how big a company is!

Some things that might intuitively contribute to a companies bigness but won't be reflected in market cap:

* Debt vs equity funding - a company that issues debt to raise money will have a smaller market cap than a company issuing an equivalent amount of equity. Enterprise value is a different measure which does include this (and would rank e.g. Toyota higher)

* Taxation differences

* Obviously publicly owned companies won't appear here at all, e.g. famously many oil & gas companies are government owned
