Or should I just call developers "IT"? ;)
> CTO I've worked with said that developers are like "machines working in a factory" that they shouldn't think above their level and should just do the same thing over and over.

The entire industry is infected with management (CXO, VP, Directors, Managers) that think engineers can be pushed to produce "more". And they do this without any idea what "more" is, and how the "more" will bring revenue.

At least in a factory, producing "more" units is likely to return more income. But engineering is not like that at all. There is a creative aspect to it and there is a maintenance aspect to it.

But management ignores it to protect their own stock awards.

So you think the bad part is people being able to control their devices if they want to?

I’m astounded and confused that you and a lot of other commenters are giving Reddit the benefit of the doubt. At a time when tensions between Reddit management and its users are at an all-time high, and both sides are maliciously striking back and forth, most commenters are assuming that an act like this is due to incompetence rather than malice? I don’t understand the thought process.
During my university studies, I found it surprising that although some topics from advanced courses might be applicable in certain jobs like at Jane Street, interviews often emphasised the fundamentals and understanding of basic concepts such as basic probability theory, rather than some specialised knowledge in Lie processes.

If you look through this PDF it does not even cover a 1.semester course in probability theory from a bachelors degree in CS/math.

I always go back to this lecture series to brush up my fundaments.

Couldn’t agree more. I have dabbled in SEO and it feels like the cost of doing business.

Google also seems to have it wrong these days. Unless I am searching for a specific website name Google search has been useless for me. General questions are often poorly met with results. I don’t find DuckDuckGo all that better.

The value of ChatGPT as implemented in Bing is it gives you the answer directly and then sites sources.
Yes, comments you made in private subs don't show in your comment history. I recently made a browser extension that deletes your entire reddit history and ran into this while testing.

Management denial is not universal. It can't be - companies that have realistic management should out-compete companies where management is politics and unreality.

The problem is that management unreality can take a decade or several to destroy a place. But when you see that kind of management, know that that's the road they're on. That's your cue to start looking for somewhere with management that at least tries to live in reality.
>>> Why do your options all assume humans have figured out this technology?

They don't. I didn't specify who figured it out. It could have been aliens.
How is reverse engineered alien technology existing in Earth without the aliens more plausible than alien technology existing in earth with aliens?
Every other option doesn't suck.

I went to Reddit during the Digg exodous and remember scoffing at Reddit's terrible UI. I stuck with it because that's where the content was. Then I got used to it and still browse old.reddit.com to this day. What makes a UI suck or not is highly subjective and moreso based on familiarity.
Thank you so much for writing that. I was starting to lose hope of getting our data out of Heroku without some insane amount of downtime.
I don't think that domain registration would generate enough revenue for Google to care about it as a core business unit, especially because part of Google Domains' pitch was that they had all these obscure domains that were cheaper. My inference is that Google cared about domains because they were complementary to another, core business unit. The obvious one to me is Google Workspace: You come to Google, get your domain, set up your business email, and you're well on your way to having an online business presence. The big missing piece is a website.
The answer is somewhere in between pushing people to click ads, the zealous bias towards automation, the pivot towards AI (no, the one that happened in 2016), and (tinfoil hat time) the influence of entities that saw Google's previous adroitness at quickly connecting the average person with specific and accurate information as a threat.
> The only required complexity for federation is choosing a server/instance.

This is a bigger problem than fans of federation acknowledge, though. Human beings have multi-faceted identities, and fediverse instances tend to be quite narrowly focused.

The average person is rightly going to assume that 'A collection of Marxist communities' - to take a real instance description from near the top of the join-lemmy.org list - is probably going to be mostly about Marxism, and not really about, say, knitting, or motorcycle maintenance. And even if a given person is in fact a Marxist, they're not going to see 'a collection of Marxist communities' as a replacement for Reddit, where they can talk about Marxism, motorcycles, and knitting.

You can explain to people all about federation and the ability to interact across different instances, but you're still asking them to make a home somewhere, and that entails choosing from amongst identities in a way that Reddit doesn't require, and that most people don't want to do. You're also putting them at the whim of their home instance in a way that they aren't used to and may not like (what if the Marxist instance defederates / blocks the users from the motorcycle instance, due to their insufficient revolutionary zeal?).
>It's saying "if I can't enjoy this subreddit the way I want to, no one can."

Who has said that users shouldn't be allowed to use the new app? I haven't seen even a single instance of that. The problem is that Reddit - the centralized entity with power - is forcing that to be the only option.

Reddit could be reasonable and continue to permit both. Until they decide to be reasonable the protests will continue. If Reddit gets butthurt and wants to call organized collective action "extortion" they can, but their childish whining isn't impressing anyone who has two brain cells to rub together.
I know of several active efforts, but am unclear about their progress.
On the top level: OPEC (a coalition of mostly totalitarian states) can decide to restrict sale of petroleum to only be purchased by states, not private companies. Where that decision could be forced by just a few other states, at gunpoint.

Let me put it this way: why do you think there isn't an OPEC-like private marketplace for uranium? Because states don't want there to be such a thing. States make themselves an oligopsony for the purchase of uranium, and then regulate its distribution to only parties they want to have it. And people generally like it that way.

(Also, the president of the United States is a bad example of what a country's executive's powers generally are, because federalism. Most other heads of states can just make a decree like that.)

But state action is a less-likely scenario, and also not the one I was really imagining. The more likely scenario is local action — i.e. a mayor enacting a bylaw for their municipality such that gas stations that don't regulate sale of gasoline would be blocked from operating within city limits. (And sure, you could drive outside the city limits to get gas... but presuming the metropolitan area is large enough, you might burn the whole tank just getting back home after doing that.)

A mayor does have that power. They need no referendum, no legislature, to pass such a bylaw. They merely need the people to be okay-enough with the action to not impeach them in response. (In fact, technically, you don't even need the bylaw. Businesses only operate on physical commercially-zoned properties in cities at the city's sufferance; a city government is free to revoke a given business's ability to operate on such property at any time, for no reason. A city can un-make the zone a business is operating under, and replace it with a new zone that has different rules, that then exclude that business. This happens all the time!)

From there, it spreads not by coordinated action, but just by other city governments seeing the idea and copying it.
Zelda didn't have experience points and levelling (except Zelda II) but there were many other games that were clearly RPGs and that had real time combat. Secret of Mana would be a classical action RPG. I never heard the term being restricted to Diablo.
I've found if you give realistic estimates, some contracting firm comes in, offers to do it in half the time, grabs the project and then takes 2x longer. Finding stakeholders competent enough to understand this pattern is important. If not, you might as well throw out any estimate and also take longer.

Technically not EL, but there are plenty of servers running EL patches on EL-based distros such as Rocky, Alma, Amazon Linux, Oracle Linux, etc.

Some of my clients have only just begun to contemplate upgrading from CentOS 7 to Rocky 8, so I expect to keep seeing OpenSSL 1.1.1 for quite a few years.

Its not a shock to anyone who knows how cheap data is, but it just proves there is no true 'delete'. I never deleted my facebook profile/pictures because I didn't want to shine a spotlight on my account.

I care more about what a 'deleted' post says, than any other post in a thread. I imagine there is a good reason for that.
> As time has demonstrated dozens of times

As time has demonstrated dozens of times, platforms, behaviors and manias come an go in regular (though not quite predictable) bursts.

Betting that nothing ever changes is not consistent with the general arc of developments in the broader technology space.

Actually the opposite is likely true. The digital landscape is very "disruptable" and relies on various dark patterns (oligopolies, user illiteracy) to lock-in some "stability".

The individual events you mention are not the flood, they are the thunder indicating a thunderstorm is brewing.
I like my standing air conditioner dammit. I can just roll it in the corner on the off season and don’t need to carefully clear a path to the storage closet and practice proper lifting form just to avoid injury using it. And it doesn’t have a chance to drip water everywhere when I take it out once a year.
Is that "why" though?

What you say is very true and I have seen it myself a few times (even being said consultant :)).

I’ll add that platform engineering is where much of the hardcore engineering happens nowadays in modern software stacks. In the olden days, SWEs had to know the hardware/low level software stack themselves.

I think the SWE role is what is at risk of commodization. It’s something sufficiently good LLMs may even be able to do themselves at some point given the right instructions.

Platform engineering will never go away - it’s close to the hardware and so many things can go wrong. You’re building the abstractions so SWEs can sit in their cozy IDEs debating about overly complex language features and libraries (said tongue in cheek as I’m guilty of this plenty).
If you want statistical significance of 1/20 and you check 20 times... you are likely to find it.

I don’t think that people shouldn’t make individual decisions, but I think their individual decisions should be made in much broader contexts that individual lifestyle adjustments have limited impact. (Eg. Any veganism on one persons part would be wiped away by a non-necessary plane ride.)

It is important to also make broader policy changes, like regulating wasteful plastic packaging in the pipeline (not just at the retail, but storing manufacturing/processing materials).
Unfortunately I've seen these people, but I would hardly call them developers/programmers, even if their work title is that... I guess I can't be choosy with national statistics.
I watched this guy’s other videos as well and I would understand probably 90% and get the rest by context. I would have NO IDEA how to reply except for maybe mimicking him a bit.

That's possible, but those services most likely offer another form of 2FA. Getting away from using SMS 2FA everywhere you can is best.

This wasn't a hypothetical, but based on a delayed project https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/california-imagin...

Government and regulatory issues apply to engineering whether it's software engineering, building engineering, or train engineering.

(In software, intra company estimates can easily be blocked with political "do it with only the current existing infrastructure or conventions" or my favorite, "now prove it in a test environment, but I'll give you 0 resources for a test environment", and government / business related - ie the cost of security breach, GDPR compliance, payment compliance, Twitter,Google Maps, or reddit making api access and pricing changes)

> Try it, make an array of, I dunno, Strings, and then "delete" one. You can't, there is no "delete" operator, that would be meaningless.

Your argument is that there's no such function as `std::Vec::remove`? I can assure you, it exists: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/vec/struct.Vec.html#method.rem...

If you use that function, and you've held on to a an index that is no longer valid, it is pointing to the wrong string. Or worse: it's pointing outside of the array, and your program will panic. The index is no longer valid, just like a pointer in C is no longer valid after calling free().

> You have to go build your own pit, and fill it with spikes, and jump into it, all so that you can moan, "Oh, Rust basically has the same terrible pit traps as C or C++" except, you built the trap, so don't do that.

I am not saying "Rust basically has the same terrible pit traps as C or C++". I have never said that, and I never would. What I'm saying is that if you're using indexes like this, you no longer have the benefit of lifetime safety guaranteed by the borrow checker. You have, in essence, turned the borrow checker off for this part.

BTW, making the argument "as long as you're not a bad programmer, this isn't a problem" is exactly the argument that some Rust haters make: "well, just don't call free() twice, and it's not a problem!". Either way, it's bull: the whole point of the borrow checker is that it statically guarantees that these kinds of lifetime issues can't happen. But if you turn it off using indexes, it guarantee is out the window. The whole discussion started with the parent commentator pointing out a project that does exactly this, and me pointing out that this is a problem from a static safety perspective.

[My Opinion] I think this is completely alright as long as there is a contribution to the open source, support to the community from the companies who use OSS to generate income.
There are 2 ways of looking at it.
1. Solve the operationalisation of the different OSS tools
2. Value addition on top of OSS.

For instance: Here is one such company (https://opsverse.io) that specialises on both #1 and #2.

Community and OSS are 2 things that are at the center of everything that OpsVerse does. OpsVerse provides "few clicks and you are up and running" sort of suite of devops tools entirely powered by OSS tools, and without the trouble of managing/scaling the tools.

I am not commenting on whether this is a good thing or not, from my POV that's for each person to decide themselves.

However, if this catches on and becomes more prevalent (and I could see that happening), then I'd expect some kind of cyber-vandalism law to be enacted. They can't prosecute based on hacking, because it isn't. But it could be argued you're 'defacing/destroying' digital property by editing to add content that knowingly will mess with their algs. Sooner than that though will be an addition to the EULA, that users cannot enter AI generated content or they agree to get fined, or some such nastiness.

The Cyberpunk RPG came out in 1988, and I was in my early 20s. Each decade since I've marvelled at how much closer to that dystopian world we've gotten, and the slope of the downward slide increases every decade.

Why do I say that?

Because the image of Reddit that's been in my head until today is of an Open Source type thing started by Aaron Schwartz. He was a founder, but that is not today's Reddit. I did some cursory digging and found Reddit is primarily owned (majority shareholder) by Advance Publications, Inc. These are the same people who own, or majorly own (primary or major shareholder): Conde Nast and all its subsidiaries (which now owns Ars Technica), American City Business Journals, Charter Communications, Warner Bros. Discovery, the Ironman Triathlons, many newspapers, Turnitin.com, and probably more. In 2019 Advance Publications was named the largest privately owned American company.
He said sea levels could be 20 feet higher in the near future. Which could only be right if we’re talking hundreds of years…
It's also worth noting that reddit admins have maliciously modified comments in the past.
How many cycles? What is transferred power during 932 miles/10 minutes charge? Electric chargers today are not making money because electricity and especially connection fee allowing you more-less random high power draw is immensely expensive. So it is very nice to have potentially 923 miles / 10 minutes, but cost will be multiples of what equivalent in petrol would cost you. If you will find such a charger at a first place.
So are we going to ignore the exx-lephant in the room?

This isn't just a debate between normal people and 'eco-fanatics' or whatever you want to call them. On the other side you have multi-billion dollar industries that want to maintain status quo until the rivers are on fire and have learned from the tobacco industry on how to spend millions in 'doubt-seeding' to keep making billions in profits.
Yeah, that was it. And like Agile, it sounds good on paper.

Point is, once developers start doing support, they stopped taking those learnings and going back and developing better. Instead the organization just started having developers do support. But then, why are the support people these highly paid developers, lets change the role definition again to not need to code.

Seems like on-going title shuffle, around, we don't really want to pay to develop, why can't we get by with no-code.
Sad conclusion at the end though.

(Spoiler alert.)

All of these famous paintings hidden away in the private collections of rich people instead of being in public galleries.
Reddit moderators work for free and are kind of a big part of the experience. If a lot of them are mad about something, perhaps it's worth considering if a mistake was made by leadership.

I guess I use the site less anyway these days but it'll be kinda fun to watch this play out.
I still wonder why leaving such utter garbage comments, such as the one you replied to, is so popular. It's not clever and won't change anyone's mind.
In the end Reddit will be a better place, with less activists deleting all your posts because they don't like them

To be honest i think Reddit would be better without mods and an automatic system to remove heavy spam

Did the DBMS ever come into existence? (If so: link, please). If not: Why should we be interested in this announcement in 2023?
While you're technically not wrong, you are very much missing the other side of the coin. By and far the changes affect power users and those are the users largely keeping lights on at Reddit as moderators. Reddit always has the option of disabling making subreddits private, forcefully swapping out moderators, or etc. But even with their doubling and tripling down the leadership at Reddit understands that without this free labor, their site and company would struggle to keep up.
Companies suffer security breaches all the time and nothing really seems to happen. Who is it important to?

It sounds like OP is getting upset when people write OSS and then relicense it in such a way to restrict unfettered usage to provide or maintain a revenue stream.
