If I’d been his editor I would’ve rewritten the article to make this much stronger point.

1) There are some people who claim that male and female is one of those universal binaries, woven into the fabric of the universe, like light and dark. Actually pretty common for religious people to make the strong form of this claim for example.

2) Slime molds prove that isn’t necessarily true and doesn’t have to be true for living organisms. It’s the way evolution went but it wasn’t inevitable. (Article then delves into this but more scientifically)
Have to give it to them for how useful their status page is. Other products we use play all kinds of word games to downplay issues so they don't have to show them on the status page, which is extremely annoying.

Yup, but I think even when users started doing that, they were inspired by Tumblr's reblog and similar mechanisms.

> You are probably the cleanest WP + PHP developer in history, who contrary to the messed up ecosystem of WP plugins has clean coding style that puts everyone else in the WP ecosystem to shame then

When you give people the power to do anything and dozens, or even hundreds of millions of people start doing anything and everything they can think of, many will create major messes. That happens with anything that becomes extremely widely used.

> or those multimillion dollar companies don't actually need that much functionality on their sites.

The WP world is so big that it has its own specializations and their subspecializations. You cant imagine what kind of complexity is involved in such systems and the variety of the problems that are being solved.

What WP does is to solve the problem of launching, running and maintaining A LOT of things right out of the bat, allowing you to build even more complex things. There are widely used plugins for many things ranging from using replicated databases to launching full fledged software/app store websites. The enterprise WP world builds on it instead of rejecting what others already built and are maintaining.

WP runs 50% of all the websites at the moment. 30% of all ecommerce websites. And 'website' means anything ranging from the sites of CNN, Reuters to the $5 florist shop site a flower shop owner in Oregon just launched without knowing anything about programming...

It works. That's whats important.

Mostly xdebug. There is also ZRay on IBM if you use Zend, but I've never used it.
I stopped reading after the typo “JavasScript” and then the juvenile tone of “Less that 10 years ago, JavaScript sucked bad.”

I have a positive impression of fly.io overall, I mean they admitted they are still figuring out how to build tech at the level of their ambition and have it be reliable enough, but I might like to be a customer one day.
Yup. The government does a lot more than it was set up to do.
You can use a potato or an orange as a battery (just stick some wires in). It's not rechargable though.
Batteries are much cheaper today than they were yesterday, and it’s a clear push downward over time.

China being the “main supplier” has more to do with them undercutting everyone else in refining by not paying attention enough to their environment, it isn’t sustainable. All of these raw materials have ample reserves outside of China. Some of battery economy comes from that, but not most of it.

There are other ways to store energy than batteries. The Pacific Northwest and even California has a lot of pumped storage hydro capacity. Hydro is a renewable that can be used on demand, and can be combined with other renewables to move water back up to reservoirs.
That's a big assumption.

If dollar payments to settle intl trade is interrupted, the consumption growth of goods and services in the US will stop and begin falling. The trading partners have been servicing this consumption growth for several decades only because of the relative safety of the dollar. Hoping that would continue regardless of the degradation of the safety of the dollar is wishful thinking.

Thinking that this won't impact the purchasing power of the dollar has no basis in logic.

There's a sort of "tragedy of the commons" that happens with Internet criticism, I think. Many people see a tweet that they find objectionable. Some of those send a reply or quote-tweet voicing criticism. Each of those replies publishes that original tweet to more and more people, some of whom will ALSO be compelled to put in their opinion.

The whole thing reaches an apparent fever pitch simply due to the volume of posts. The original poster is simply beset with negativity. The human mind is simply not psychologically capable of dealing with that kind of onslaught in a healthy way. Such a simple, innocuous phenomenon is at the root of it: I see something I disagree with and am compelled to respond. Nothing sinister is happening in the minds of those involved (at least for the vast majority).

But regardless of how odious the original tweet/post was, this is just not a productive way for us to conduct discourse. But how do you combat it? I don't have an answer.
> Agree completely. I know people who are fine with watching ads to support the content creators and I agree. The creators should be compensated but Google are far too agressive with their ads.

The part I dislike about this is that they will demonetize a video for content reasons, but still show ads on it.

I also don't know how it works with YouTube Premium. If I have Premium and I watch a creator, does YouTube pay them some tiny % of my subscription fee to offset the ads that I'm no longer watching?

I feel like that's not likely
I am the friend in question. I can tell you this much:

1) I definitely don't use that word often. To my recollection, I've never typed it into my phone at all, ever.

2) I had this reoccur with the phone that replaced it.

3) I explicitly deleted it from the keyboard dictionary both times, so this is not a case of my usage data following me to my new phone.
yes, i understood that, and the answer i gave was "pretty much anything" - there is no canon for what kids will enjoy.
The issue is that also disables many of the interesting features of BTRFS for those files. No checksumming, no snapshots and no compression. In comparison ZFS handles these features just fine for those kinds of files without the enormous performance / fragmentation issues of BTRFS (without nodatacow).

I was curious about this too. They are bigger than I was thinking. Wikipedia has a picture of one with an ant for scale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slime_mold#/media/File:Stemoni...
I can confirm this as well. I started seeing 500 errors intermittently when trying to view pages, so I checked status page and saw everything was green. Status page started showing the incident within about 3 minutes of when I started seeing issues. Clearly that's all based on happenstance of when I was landing on GitHub's website, but I have found that of all the status page's by large companies, GitHub's is almost always showing an incident as soon as I start noticing issues myself.
GitHubHack23 – The Action Story
Yes, we do this using https://gitea.io/en-us/ on a private server (firewall, backups and a replica) for most projects. Github is only used when it's required by a stakeholder.
You change to median in the whole USA and median in the whole Europe then? Still the same conclusion. SV tech engineers arent rich because someone's is flipping their burgers. Someone is flipping an engineer's burger in France, in Detroit, In Tehran. So blue collar exploitation exists everywhere and cannot explain the outrageous salaries in SV.
Anecdotal - I've been using Gitlab for a few years on some projects, and haven't experienced any downtime issues with them of this magnitude.

> I think people who don’t want their content contributing to AI shouldn’t have it on the public web.

Practically speaking, that's the only effective solution. I just think that it's a shame that's necessary. It would be better for everyone if there wasn't a disincentive to making works publicly available.

> I don’t want to have rules that biological humans can view and digital humans can’t.

This is a point we disagree on.

And "digital humans"? I would argue that such a thing can't exist, if you mean "human" in any way other than rough analogy.

If you want to ride a bike, you can ride the bike. If you want to do tricks, you can do tricks.

PHP makes simple stuff easy and difficult stuff possible. (But you're not going to win the Tour de France on a BMX bike.)

Nowadays, a lot of other things also do this, but PHP was the first to really "get" this. I understand it's not for everybody, and for certain things, other languages are certainly better. But there's precious little that you can't do with PHP, since it's been around for so long and has been growing with the Web from pretty much the very beginning.
Very quick math says this is much weaker than a potato battery, which is a fun comparison. [1] puts the capacity of a potato around 0.1 Wh, quite impressive. Using the numbers from TFA I get a capacity of 5.2 µWh [2]. For reference an AA battery is 4.275 Wh.

A spent potato battery is apparently not edible, but 5.2 µWh does not provide much power. Also a potato battery is not rechargeable, while this one is, if you do not eat it of course.

[1] https://sciencing.com/make-potato-battery-6537882.html - 0.5V * 10mA * 20 h

[2] 0.65V * 48 µA * 1/6 h (you get a 10 min runtime at the wattage)

P.S. I know this should be calculated in joules, but battery capacity is always listed in (k)Wh or mAh, so I kept to these units

edit: correct potato capacity calculation, was off by a factor of 10
> Codespaces is experiencing degraded performance. We are continuing to investigate.

Imagine not only not being able to push your code, but also not even being able to _write your code_ at all. And so many orgs rely on Actions to even be able to deploy. Geez. I personally believe that the cloud sucks.
Ironically this post only reinforced my longtermist leanings. I do value the species over the individual and I tend to think that if we don’t realign our incentives away from maximizing short term profits we may be destroying our future. Longtermism places species above nations, because nations can threaten our very survival. It’s the evolution of tribalism.

Same. Overall, I like GitLab a lot more than GitHub. I wonder how much of GitHub's popularity is buoyed by its status as the defacto home for OSS
So this article was number one on the hacker news front page and exploding in comments and internet points, but suddenly it vanished from public visibility. I don't see it marked as [flagged]. Did the webmasters just get embarrassed of it and manually take it away?

I'm considering host a gitea instance backup all of my repos.

I have an important fix that need to be deployed right now but there is no way to deploy it in a normal way with our CI which one was setup with Github Action. Fortunately I have a instruction to bypass CI and build the source by myself.

But again, Github defeat me because our release workflows are depend on GitOps which are effected by Github issue. Ahhhhhhhhhh I have to build the docker image, push it to ECR then update a YAML template to make EKS apply the new changes

It's certainly true that Britain has a lot of coastline, and that even allowing for the fact you can't put wind farms in the middle of a shipping lane (unless you don't mind constant collisions because nobody in a large boat can steer worth shit, the UK also has some big rocks, which like wind turbines are marked on charts and don't move yet idiots crash boats into those all the damn time) this works out to mean we could probably more than supply our energy needs from wind turbines + storage.

On the other hand, onshore wind is cheaper and would have been viable all along, the Tories effectively banned it (technically they just made it very easy to block planning permission) for years because that wins over a certain kind of NIMBY voter. You couldn't build enough onshore wind to replace all the fossil fuels, but you could make a bigger dent than we did.
Almost ten years on from this conference talk and it's mind-blowing how close to the mark Gary Bernhardt was!
I recall reading an article about two high IQ and talented parents... both professors in very hard academic fields talking about their child and how they were trying to push their child into roles with high IQ.

The parents were from China too so you can imagine the intensity of this of this pressure.

Then one day the father realized that his child did not inherit the high IQ of both him and his wife. It wasn't a matter of not working hard or being lazy.

He realized the error of his ways... that the intense pressure he put on his daughter was wrong.

I can't seem to find that article anymore. But being Asian myself it really got me thinking and curious whether their are other parents out their who experienced something similar and what's it like for the parent or the child?

Like how does Micheal Jordan react to the fact that his son will never have the abilities he had no matter how much his son tries or how much pressure he puts on him?

However, I do think there might be some correlation on longer stays (maybe some % of those are digital nomads) from statements from Airbnb leadership where >1 in 5 stays are greater than 28 days [1]. That statement is from 2021, so I'm curious where it might land today.

I believe the "joke" is used far more than the few times he's addressed it. If anything, it's the people constantly saying it who are obsessed with Trump, not the other way around.

The media will stir up controversy anyway, you may as well reply and get your side in, otherwise they are dictating the conversation and truth.

And we're all narcissists... that's nature. It's such a pointless and empty statement.
Device manufacturers not just use some private API or SDKs without making deal with Google. Except might be for Chinese noname brands from AliExpress.

All device manufacturers do have agreements with Google about support for their devices and such agreements can very well be for 10+ years or even for lifetime of the devices.

PS: Actually 10 years ago when Windows Phone was a thing Microsoft has tried to make their own YouTube client without agreement with Google and it was killed by Google almost immediately.
On the bright side, maybe, just maybe the open source community realises that such centralisation might not be the best solution for hosting code.

Exactly - and any parts that are from fossil fuel can be replaced over time.

That fossil fuel generation is centralised so easier to mitigate and not where the usage is happening (ie in our towns and cities).

Are you interested in spinning up an entire CI environment? or something where anyone can push a branch to a file based mirror?

There are aspects of permissioning that the cloud git repo providers have that become more challenging to implement as a home grown solution and unless you have the resources to maintain it, it also becomes interesting.

On one hand, you can do `git clone --mirror` and you'll have a copy of the repo and put that on a file share... though there's no permissions or automatic syncs for it (or CI). If you want those, then you get into some development (and maintenance) of the git hooks.

Going to things like a local hosted gitlab instance means that you need to have a local docker hosted environment running, and someone to maintain that, and the storage for it, and all of the other fun that comes with administering a complex 3rd party application on prem. When things are going good, it's an hour or two a week... when something breaks its several hours with calls to support (you're using a paid / licensed version to get support... right?) from someone who has a sysadmin skill set rather than a developer skillset. And don't forget about DR.
