Sequence diagrams are great, but creating them by hand is a pain. It's not just manual toil, they also go out of date. AppMap (where I work) can generate them automatically based on runtime analysis of an application: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l4-hNih_GQ
This is what i mean by underlying problems. Every extremist organization lures people with manipulative tactics, and if you are not in a good state of mind to spot those, you will be caught. That's why education and knowledge about those subjects is important, so people can understand and think about them. If you never understood why they are so bad, you would rely on others to never see it on your screen.
It seems like Amazon has the same idea when promoting people named Andy or Jeff to executive roles.
Probably a few reasons.

Text only, transient/short life data, is a lot cheaper to process and serve than images, permanent posts, etc.

It won the initial buy-in of us geeks/nerds/hackers/whateverthephraseofthedayis who gave it a rather solid base.

It’s a very personal type of communication. Real-time, immediate, and to a lot smaller audience (more intimate) compared to web forums, Reddit etc.

And finally, I would posit that it did actually die. What remains now is small, compared to how popular the likes of Reddit Twitter etc are, vs how popular IRC was in its heyday.
Maybe before you actually start writing code its nice to create some domain diagrams which you can convert to class diagrams. Saves a ton of time. And you have good discussions about the general high level workings of an architecture. Can be done on a whiteboard. Make some pics and start coding.
Lol let me introduce you to a little organization called the National Security Agency, with their "creepy" periodic snapshots of much more intriguing datasets.

"Stellar Wind" is a good place to start.

Including, but of course not limited to, every communication made by any person within the United States (or outgoing) for the better part of two decades. Internet traffic, communications, all of it.

I love the writing style in this piece. Feels a lot like some kind of transcript from a talk.

Anyway, in my household it's my SO who handles the networking - she's brilliant at this and spent the last few years creating her network from scratch after we moved to this city. I get to tag along as the "neighborhood IT guy".

Meanwhile, after over a decade in this industry and scooping up contacts from each organization I've been to, as I recently discovered whilst trying to lubricate the relationship between a friend of mine and a prospective employer, I can achieve precisely dick with the network that I have.

One thing that naturally works to her advantage is giving off an aura of the least threatening person in the world. People just open up to her. Unfortunately this is not replicable.
Do you have an example of someone being stopped from doing this sort of thing with the leadership's propaganda?

Because I'd lay quite a lot of money down at good odds for you that they absolutely have a line item somewhere on some budget for paying people to flood the internet with their message, no matter how illegal it is. Being illegal just means they have to hide the line item better.
I'd love to see a list of heavily interactive sites that use the HTMX technique.

I believe Github uses something like HTMX + ActionCable, and
it shows how good that experience can be (and some limitations).

But I think it's in the small minority. It'd be nice to know of more examples,
instead of just more libs.
> The amazing thing about QuakeLive is that it initially ran in a browser window.

The performance was complete dogshit. Just simply awful. I had modern hardware at the time which ran both the original Q3A and ioquake3 at hundreds of fps if uncapped but QuakeLive in browser burned my computer up for sub-60 fps even with the graphics turned down. Unplayable. Not to mention they dropped Linux support. QuakeLive made me quit playing Quake. If I sound bitter about it now, you should have heard me then.
On what is based your view ?

My feeling, without sources at hand to confirm it:

In few Asian countries, we can see it did helped many.

In most developing countries, the picture is less clear.

In developed countries seems to have benefits to the richer top 20%, and have neutral or negative effect on other...

There are a lot of negative externalities associated with globalisation (eg pollution, weaken state...)

And it is absolutely not clear how would have done people in different scenario...

There are some early docs on this here: https://docs.wasmer.io/edge/learn/deployment-modes

TLDR: support for WASIX [1] enabled builds that can start a web server (Rust with axum works well, Python and PHP are coming soon), and WCGI, with which you can use all languages that currently have WASI support , by using the standard CGI interface.

We'll also add support for standard WASI with pre-opened sockets, which will add support for a bunch of additional ecosystems (like dotnet / C#), but haven't gotten around to that yet.

If you are asking more about how code is managed and executed: stateless, spawned on demand is the default. Proxy mode will re-use instances for multiple requests. Stateful/persistent instances with persistent volumes are on the horizon.

I think you're overstating the importance of that role. The importance of libraries is that they employ a consultant that can tell you the name of a book that has the information you're looking for? And this performs better than reading the blog or publication of a field specialist? Even Wikipedia does a better job at this than any librarian I've ever talked to at any library. The most I've seen one do in recent years is enter my question into a computer and tell me the products available like an autozone employee. Nobody just has the depth of knowledge you imagine in their head at all times at a library.

It's trying to be a lot of things at once. It has connectors on all four sides and no screw holes for mounting, which is a headache when you need to build it into something. That layout started with Arduino, continued into Raspberry Pi, and continues to be a headache. It's fine for desktop prototyping, not good for deployment.

Validity of Argument (Part 2)
∀A,B,C,K_1,K_2∈N. By this I mean they are all elements of the natural numbers.
1. ∃K_1 (K_1≤1)
2. ∃A,B,C,K_2 (A^(K_2 )+B^(K_2 )=C^(K_2 ) )
3. ∃K_1 (K_1≤1)∧∃A,B,C,K_2 (A^(K_2 )+B^(K_2 )=C^(K_2 ) )
4. ∃A,B,C,K_2 (A^(K_2 )+B^(K_2 )=C^(K_2 ) )∧∃K_1 (K_1≤1)
5. ∃A,B,C,K_2 (A^(K_2 )+B^(K_2 )=C^(K_2 ) )→∃K_1 (K_1≤1)
6. ∀K_1 (K>1)→∀A,B,C,K_2 (A^(K_2 )+B^(K_2 )≠C^(K_2 ) )
Premise 1 is true because there does exist a natural number less than or equal to 1. Premise 2 is true because there does exist A,B,C, and K such that A^K+B^K=C^K. Premise 3 is true because of both Premises 1 and 2. Premise 4 is true because of Premises 1, 2, and 3. Premise 5 is true because it is the contrapositive of Premise 4. Now with regard to Premise 5, if I let K_1=K_2=2, the antecedent is true but the consequent is false, making Premise 5 false. Yet how can Premise 5 be false if all the premises before it are true?
I hate what Salesforce has done to Heroku but after a year of running our saas on aws, render, and fly - here I am, back on Heroku. It sucks, but slightly less than the alternatives.

Fly has potential, but they've changed/grown so much that most docs are out of date, everything is buggy, support is not very responsive, and their security posture leaves a lot to be desired. Not a fun place to be production issues pop up.
Community college is still a thing, not expensive, and won’t make the mistake of teaching specifically Python. It also forces a schedule which is helpful in its own right.

What you just proposed is exactly what isn’t working for this person.
It's not the web devs that do it, they know what is adequate; as others said, it's legal, people who overthink these things.

I was once working on a website, we had everything fine, but then a committee of various people from various departments spent days coming up with everything that they thought the cookie banner should conform to.

And then the ad revenue people come in, and say that it should be easiest to just accept all. They quickly backtracked when the EU or France fined one of the big parties; suddenly, the (legally required) reject all button was back on all the cookie banners, which is a good example on how fining large companies large sums bubbles down quickly to smaller companies doing the same thing.
A library in Boston, Massachusetts is not remotely the same as a library in Talladega, Alabama.
It would be fun to make a game that showed you random code snippets and asked you to identify the author.
It's 'being improved' even though it's been identified as a problem from the outset of the fediverse, nearly a decade ago. I don't know how to make this any simpler:

Forced choices drive away users. People don't like making decisions without context because they feel like scams. That's why uptake is slow almost a decade into federation. The UX model is bad.
I’ve been thinking about the “relays as subreddits” paradigm for nostr. It could work.

> if any c extension is loaded which is incompatible with running lockless?

It'd be slightly magical to do. You'd probably have a giant RWLock, which is used for checking whether you're in the "lock free" mode. But at least almost all code could hit it only for read, and it could go away one day.
It’s a technical challenge but we believe is fully doable.

BTW, SWC is already powered by Wasmer!
>there would be physical cities whose population consisted entirely of architects and engineers.

the analog to a digital federation in the physical world, is literally just that, an actual federation. People making choices about what community they participate in isn't technical, it's social. Everyone who lives in a democratic society does in fact participate in how their city is run and governed or understands how to move from one state to another.

You do not need to understand the technical details of federated systems, but it is absolutely infantilizing to pretend that people are unable to choose or build the communities they want, and take some responsibility in maintaining them. This 'consumer' mentality needs to die, people need to learn to be proper citizens on the internet. We ask it from people in the real world, so we can do it online. Why are we pretending the online version of some 19th century company town is inevitable?
>"it's nothing, people are always saying that, so I can dismiss it".

1) when I said "I'm not worried about your average homeless guy" I didn't mean that I don't care what happens to him, I meant that I don't think he's the one people are worried about jerking it in the kids section at the library, I was pretty sure that was evident in my sentences I wrote (you even quoted the part where I said we need to help those people), and 2) you didn't answer my question.
I'll draw those diagrams... on a whiteboard, sans boxes (Tufte). Great for point-in-time communication, less useful as specifications.

For people in the U.S., international adoption is both logistically difficult and morally fraught. Domestic adoption is less difficult, but it's very hard to adopt infants, which is what most adoptive parents are hoping for (and willing to pay lots of money for).

I'm not necessarily arguing in favor of creating more children, but your implied "just adopt" doesn't meet most potential parents' desires.
Seems like this would create a temptation to spin off another company that just does EVs.

Am I understanding that you think that there should be just one data structure which is shared between all teams which is a superset of all fields that it could have and people just add data to those fields? So at any given point you don't even know what data is present or not present depending on which point in the pipeline it has passed or not?

At this point you may as well just use a object or dictionary. The type doesn't give you any idea about the actual shape of the data.
Not surprising, but I'm very happy they are trying to find a route forward for both. That I commend.

I think from memory "Faster Python" is Microsoft funded and "No GIL" is funded by Facebook. If they can find a way to fund a combined effort that would be good.

I suspect the conflicting funding also adds to the general political difficulty around this.

"you're potentially taking X outta more-qualified Y's hands"

Why is this limitation mindset present in some people and not others? I understand quite fully that there is a difference in mindset between growth/limitation but... you're not "Taking a job" if they're more qualified and better-suited, the employer can hire them instead of you, but they didn't. It's not a zero sum world.
It's not completely ludicrous: there needs to be some speculation about what is and isn't possible given it's a sci-fi universe, but the human brain can do orders of magnitude more compute for the energy it uses compared to silicon, and energy is the one thing the machines are short on after the humans blocked out the sky. (Ok, you need to handwave power sources like nuclear being unavailable). The main issue is how do you use neurons for this, why do the humans need to be conscious for this, and how much of their brains can the machines actually usefully use, considering the previous point?

Even if you were a mountain goat, where would you go? Other people already own all the mountains.
A distance is a function d(x, y) where d(x, y) = 0 if x = y, if x = 0, or if y = 0 (among other properties). If x = y and neither x = 0 nor y = 0, and if we let d(x, y) = x*y, then d(x, y) != 0 in general, so the dot product is certainly not a distance. Your comment isn't relevant, but thanks for calling me a pedant. ;-)
I actually don't disagree with your point. I'm merely explaining why fediverse-style platforms always get the complaint it sucks because it's harder to use than the centralized alternative, even among a community that should be used to such platforms.
I mean it’s very pro-business to mandate that anyone who wants to buy a car has to give money to a business that’s not doing much of anything to deserve it. As long as you ignore idealistic notions of how markets work anyway.

This is why I basically decided entrepreneurship was going to be my shot at 'greatness'.

You basically need ~7 years (at best) to get into management at a big company.

After that, so much is luck/politics/seniority based.

As someone who has always been a top performer(in school, in wages, in professional achievements), I don't want to put all my eggs in 1 corporate basket. I make more money than managers being contract, I am never worried about unemployment, and what were my odds of making 1M per year at some large company? There are a lot of talented people competing for those positions.

Doing the numbers, I can create ~1M per year in value and I don't even need to be a manager.

It seems being a programmer in a high value niche seems more certain than hoping your card gets called.
> which is what most web applications and web servers should be spending the vast majority of their time doing.

Sure... but if you have dozens of threads spending most of their time doing I/O, that still leaves many threads wanting to do things other than I/O.

Except having any shared state between processes is painful. If you're hitting an outside database for everything, it's fine.

I've taken a throwaway approach to diagramming, where I'll produce them more or less on demand for a meeting or presentation, but not think of them as an enduring artifact. PlantUML is my friend here because I can knock out ugly but gets-the-point-across diagrams in 30 minutes before a meeting and check them into source control, so I can then take the bones of older diagrams and rework them for a fresh meeting.

I used to whiteboard for this, but that hasn't carried over well in the remote world. What I miss about whiteboarding though is that you can tell a story as you draw, so whoever's viewing can watch something unfold from a blank slate while I'm walking them through the history of whatever system we're describing. That said, I can make a PlantUML diagram much more correct than a whiteboard.

All that said I too would love for more of that to be automated increasingly through AI. And I suppose it should make sense conceptually, because for me the value of a crafted diagram over an automated one is that no one really wants to look at the insane ERD of an OLTP database or a production object model. They want the digestible high level vision of the important bits, or the bits that are relevant to the conversation taking place. So it's a summarization problem. How to get the right data to produce a correct summary is interesting--I'm sure if I look there's a dozen papers to read on a similar subject :).
Without judging and out of pure curiosity, can I ask why?
>but so much of this shit's made up that it's difficult to take anything seriously beyond the immediate task at hand.

Not necessarily made up. It just really depends on what your skillset is and what the company values. I as a systems engineer isn't going to be valued if all a company needs is a functional website for their non-tech services. But that supposed "rockstar" front end dev at that same company who may be devoured like a guppy if they tried to apply to a full stack role.

That's the one downside to an industry that lacks licenses or accredibility: all the companies have to snuff out that skillset themselves, and often in arbitrary ways (I am way beyond done with the Leetcode interview as someone almost 8 years into industry). But at the same time they treat their test as some secret code so they don't exact talk about WHAT an engineer should study* if they want to reach that level.

*(I should note that this mostly applies to non-FAANG jobs. On the contrary, Amazon and Google had entire interview packets for that stuff. Maybe a bit too much in the other direction, but better than guessing if I need to study C++, algorithms, domain specific knowledge, make personal projects, or many other topics).
