I think one of biggest problems the industry suffers from is HYPE.

And we have HYPE all over the place: cloud services, frameworks, programming languages, tools, application architectures, etc.

And to my eyes DevOps is another hyped thing. Not only that, many jobs require you to be "certified" in a cloud service provider (a la Cisco like in the 90's) or on some particular tools (Kubernetes?).

Then we re-discover that the OLD way was really good, that actually there was no need for something that
over-engineered, and we go back and start doing things the simple OLD way. After some time, the cycle re-starts.

What is DevOps anyways? I don't know, but today it seems that is a word associated to fancy cloud services
and tools to deploy applications, way way different from the savvy system administrator from the 90's & 2000's
that knew lots core concepts as: DNS, LDAP, SNMP, HTTP (Apache), SMTP, NFS, iptables, etc.

If I had to hire someone for today tasks I'd probably stick to the 90's knowledgeable system administrator.
Possible.

Wouldn't it be classified as an abuse of process?
iPadOS has some real weird limitations when it comes to big screens. For example, the small iPads don't support stage manager despite being more than powerful enough to drive a measily 1080p display. Their weird window managed also makes for a suboptimal desktop experience, with the weird mouse blob making the entire thing look more like a non-touch tablet than a real desktop.

They could also just as easily implement this in their iPhones (I'm sure Apple's take on Continuum and Dex will be called "revolutionary" when it comes out) if they wanted to, but I suppose they don't want their phones to compete with their expensive tablets in terms of features.
> Finished studies in Computer Science or software engineering (Bachelor, Master)

That typically entails programming experience, especially in Germany.
Any by the same token the best developers have a good understanding of Ops. Often these will be the Senior ones and in some cases they built the platform before Ops people were hired.

But plenty of developers only have a vague picture of what production looks like especially in a complex environment. However they are perfectly able to do their job okay and produce working code.
> It's less about integration into the security stack.

Yes, that's why I wrote:

>> it's architecture is quite different from other kernel user space interfaces, which certainly needs some adaptions on applying the established security mechanisms of the kernel

But user namespaces are actually a very good examples, they also broke with a lot of things that were often used as axiom, so there really are some parallels to io_uring from that POV.

> Hackers just find a memory corruption bug and get around everything.

If the Rust experiment pans out well, it could make a lot of such bugs straight out impossible, at least if devs aren't bending backwards to lower the risk to roughly the same as C now has in the best case. At least at $work this pans out quite nicely.
Google Domains != GCP Cloud Domains

One is managed at domains.google.com, the other as part of a GCP project either in the Console or via API. See https://cloud.google.com/domains/docs/register-domain

They’re selling the former.
I've heard that if every dollar you spend on marketing eventually brings in more than one dollar, your budget should be infinite.

Not sure if this is true, but I like the sound of it :)
Worth a mention, if your use case might possibly attract any attention from PHB's, or other flavors of idiot - support for 1.1.1 officially ends on 9/11 (Sept. 11th, 2023). Yes, that is technically meaningless...but morons who need to look like they Understand a situation, and are Doing Something, can latch onto irrelevant crap faster than you can blink.
"Burgeoning" :D

Apple made $2B from ads in 2022 from a total of $394 billion, 0,5% of total revenue.

Google made $224 billion from ads about 50% of total.

I still trust the company that makes the vast majority of their money from stuff that doesn't need a profile about me and my personal life to function.
To be fair, Covid was never all that dangerous (in a statistical sense) for relatively young, relatively healthy people.

Of course, in the beginning that wasn't clear. And you might still want to get vaccinated, to decrease the likelihood of you passing the virus to your older relatives.

I wonder how this compares with Babashka?
You kidding? A German university CS M.Sc. degree is very different from a Cisco certification.
It definitely isn't that surprising as the weak linguistic relativism hypothesis is all but confirmed.
I did the same a week ago, deleting fifteen years worth and several thousand comments using Shreddit, by editing and deleting, however mine have not been restored, so I doubt this was some kind of broad action.

I very much doubt Reddit cares at all about the small number of us that have done this.
what is the going exchange rate between birds in the hand and birds in the bush?
>In the case of epic it was not about the privacy settings but about the percentage they had to pay for on every transaction which is a different issue.

The claim wasn't that nobody was sideloading for privacy settings. The claim was "Facebook doesn't use sideloading on the android platform, neither does any of the other big companies."

>I kind of agree that less privacy protection this is a concern, but I think that should be solved by additional privacy laws.

Oh, that's a great idea. We should definitely rely on laws alone for this. VC-backed technology firms are well-known for willingly abiding by the spirit of laws—especially privacy laws. They definitely aren't filled with people whose entire job is finding the slimist things they can get away with.

Or—and I'm just spitballing here—we could have both the additional privacy laws and also a competitive marketplace where at least one vendor decides to use privacy as a market differentiator while leaving people free to choose to buy from other vendors with other priorities.

You should have multiple options, but third parties should not be required to provide you with an option that gives you 100% of what you'd like to have.

"I get to choose" does not mean "I get to have a bespoke solution."
we can go that route too when talking about EV batteries production emissions vs ICE but sure we don't because that's not the point, right?

Yeah apparently this is a two years auto renewing contract, cancellation only by registered letter 3 months in advance by the end of the contract duration. Payment is 180 EUR monthly. You actually said clearly you don't want it but didn't do it in writing so now you can watch monthly Lastschrift on the bank statements (yup, statements arriving by fucking letter as well). Two exact copies of full terms and conditions are on their way in two separate letters because fuck you. Don't even try asking for help, it's all your fault.
It is survival of the fittest kind of thing for online communities, or survivorship bias. Darwin would like to have a word or two.
no such concept in the law

you can have some real fun with companies with it
Seems like a game of whack-a-mole. A person might get Reddit and Pushshift to delete their comments, but surely there are other less well-known companies mirroring Reddit. Maybe even clandestinely.
I wasn't sure about GW-BASIC. I remember running it on a PC that came with MS-DOS 4.0, but that came with the PC (a Laser 286) as well.

MS-DOS 5.0 was a shrink-wrapped box purchase, so I was sure it was "pure".
Does the Deck count? It's just a laptop with a weird keyboard, you don't exactly put it in your pocket. Attaching an external display to s device running Arch isn't all that unique.
There's more: to the extent that Reddit corporate jumps at the chance to accept all these people, it will be replacing the 'currently stable' moderation environment with a substantial class of ringers, where we don't know their intentions other than they are prepared to back Reddit's power move here.

This is potentially a Twitter-like implosion, if they go there. Far from having major subreddits taken over by companies (which likely have no idea this is happening and have no motivation to suddenly supply social media volunteers), it's gonna be major subreddits taken over by kittens in blenders and 4chan-like behavior.

There's common factors among folks like this, and one is that they can be coordinated. I think it much more likely that Reddit gets taken over by conspiracy theorists and terrorists, than, for instance, hippies. Some will be very pleased at the result, but then some are really pleased at what's happened to Twitter (as long as you ignore the valuation, that is)
I'm confused. Why do people think my suggested solution is difficult enough to be comparable to the halting problem or "a smart enough compiler"?

We are talking about a scenario where cpython has already been modified to support both GIL and non-GIL operating modes, and a set of libraries that support the new non-GIL mode have been manually annotated by programmers.

All I'm suggesting is that on top of this, we modify the "load library" code to detect at runtime when we are loading a library that doesn't support the new non-GIL mode and switch modes.
Am I the only one here who thinks it is actually quite reasonable to restore such comments?

It's equivalent to a librarian restoring some of their books that have been vandalised by a disgruntled author.
I want to be clear: I think Rust offers ENORMOUS security benefits over C. No one is disputing that. I personally love Rust, I think it's a great language. This is not an attack on the language, this is an observation that if you use this particular pattern (indexes instead of pointers), you are doing something dangerous, and you can no longer rely on the borrow checker to validate lifetimes.

It seems to me to be a pretty unarguable point. It's frankly a bit shocking to me to see this vehement of a disagreement.
This forum does have nuanced thought, from some users, some of the time.

But I wouldn't say that's the case for the majority of comments on complex, charged, and/or politicized issues. Most of us are morons about most things; and most of the time we don't even know it.

And it's the two paid, full-time mods here who keep things here less toxic than Reddit and the like.

This issue is very clear - Huffman is 100% in the wrong. He's been caught lying about some very serious issues, like utterly falsely claiming blackmail - and then doubled and tripled down it. He has made his character known over the years, un-personing Swartz, editing users comments for giggles, letting bots and advertisers swarm the site, etc.

Most mods AND communities on Reddit are against these changes, strongly, and have made that abundantly clear.
The username attached to the post is almost certainly PII. Unless they're anonymising the post, they're definitely running afoul of GDPR.

This, of course, assumes this is intentional action, which I'm not wholly convinced of. Malice, incompetence, and all that.
> Firstly, the idea that "DevOps" is rewriting history doesn't hold up well when you consider the natural progression of any industry. Concepts and terms evolve over time. It's not rewriting history, it's a sign of the industry maturing. Speech is in flux all the time, otherwise this post would also read like Shakespeare.

Yet words like "bridge", "ceiling" and "concrete" are unchanged for a century. Evolution is fine, but we're chocking on our own spit trying to be "next" and "hip" and whatever. So much silly useless effort, but this is worse anyway because we went from more formalised and easy to understand terms to a fuzzy one which nobody had clearly defined.

> Second, the lack of a universal definition isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it might be a strength. It allows different organizations to interpret and apply the principles of DevOps in a way that best fits their specific needs. This flexibility can actually drive innovation. Or differently set, the meaning is assigned and not a given. As a freelancer in the space I get a lot of different offers under the same umbrella, but the truth is that i can simply help in a lot of areas by definition.

Sorry, no this is a super bad thing, you don't get to choose what "yes" means given a concrete context. This is not materially different. If you have a different job: it should be called as such.

> Third, just because the originator of the term can't pin down a solid definition doesn't necessarily discredit it. It's common in tech for concepts to outgrow their original definitions as they are applied in new contexts and grow in scope.

He never even supplied a definition, so we are stuck in this loop of defining it constantly. And our definitions almost never match. Lets just let it die. Almost as much time wasted as with timezones.

> Your point about DevOps teams or engineers signifying failure is also too black and white, in my opinion. The title is less important than the actual practices and methodologies being implemented. Whether we call them DevOps engineers or agyle sysadmins is secondary to their contribution to the project. That is what the job description is for.

I'm just pointing out that many people disagree on the definition, so many will just claim outright that you're doing it wrong.

I agree that actions are better than definitions, I'd rather have shitty definitions and functional actions; however that's a false dichotomy, we can have both.

> However, calling this entire branch of IT "bullshit", will remain a marketing scheme for your underlying investment, no matter how much you now try to blame it upon technicality.

I am invested in nothing, I have no financial or even sunk-cost gain from taking this particular fight, so you're concretely mistaken. FWIW, I am not the original author of the article; mine is here and was written a year earlier: https://blog.dijit.sh/devops-confusion-and-frustration
But it hasn't. Sea level rise and extreme weather events are not on an accelerating trend. Hurricanes for example. Fires in the twenties and forties were much worse. North America is greener now more than ever in the last two hundred years.
I use Nvidia with X server, and it's great. You are very decisive but other people could have different experience.
I did consider that a little after posting - my conclusion was that people who don't have access to credit will be pushed out of the market and forced to rent.
The adage that “If you’re not paying for it, you’re the product” cuts both ways.

Musk and Hoffman seem to be intent on waging war with their own product. They both get a lot of unpaid labour producing their content and then complain that the unpaid labour isn’t paying for the privilege.
The problem is, however, that those two roles require different knowledge, skills, attitudes and mindsets, and so many (most?) developers don't really like sysadminning: you know, messing with VLANs, DNS resolving, packet routing, gluing two networks (one in Sidney, second one in New York) into one via VPN, watching disk quotas and memory limits, working around bugs in Linux scheduler, pinning CPUs, all that mind-bogglingly boring (but needed for smooth operation) stuff.

They mentioned engine and gearbox, so still you'd need at least gearbox oil change once in a while. Not to mention that they elegantly forgot clutch + flywheel which EVs don't have but are expensive as hell to change on ICEs (and you have to change them sooner or later).
You're forgetting the part where if they predict bad thing X would happen by year Y, they would get Z funding. The monetary incentives in academia and public are stacked towards predicting doom.
I bet you don’t hear from many people who don’t want to disclose their health too or are afraid of their livelihood doing so.
Do we have any studies that show those with diabetes have higher incidence of long-covid?
I can see this starting a positive feedback loop of issues. More people get upset; so more people start deleting -- cascading failures start occurring. Hopefully their team can keep it under control.

But would the current upset userbase even believe reddit if they came out and said "our deletes arent working right now. please try again later."
I guarantee I can get that job with no degree.

Those "degree" sections are universally optional, they're always listed by I have never seen them honoured.

I'd put $20,000 down on the wager that I could get that job with only a Cisco certification (or even nothing at all).
Reddit bans individual subreddits. They don't ban whole swathes of subs that happen to be stored on the same server, along with all the users stored on the same server.
So what concrete problems and potential solutions do you see?

Edit: People have been participating in federated networks since ages.
But it is hard. Especially if you want to give users the same experience as with non federated sites.

And I am not sure, if for example lemmy has solved it

https://programming.dev/post/50696

So it is an open question, if a federated network can work as stable and easy as a centralized instance.

I would think so, but so far it is only a hypothesis.
The factory analogies only work so far. Factories are subject to the same problems as everywhere else. There's a lot to learn from how factories (or your CM's) operate.

> And finally, if users and employees can be replaced, so can companies, products and services.

Yep.
And now maybe reddit's number is up, and it's time for it join Myspace, Friendster and Twitter?!
The article is a bit vague. It's hard to disagree with the idea that you shouldn't use k8s if you don't know it well, or you're deploying very simple apps.

I resisted learning k8s for a long time, but eventually came around because it makes setting up a unified dev/CI/staging/prod environment so much nicer than anything else I've dealt with.

I think it depends how good you need the translation to be.

I’d say current automation is ‘good enough’ for most cases, but you wouldn’t rely on it for translating a contract and it would probably still miss a lot of slang and local dialects.
Or, to quote Watchmen, "I'm 65 years old. Everyday the future looks a little bit darker. But the past, even the grimy parts of it, well, it just keeps on getting brighter all the time."
Just checked out the new landing page and features - loving the focus on prioritization and streamlined scheduling! The $19 plan seems like a sweet deal for unlocking MindGenie's potential. Keep up the fantastic work! Can't wait to see how these updates improve my productivity game!
Didn't he say we would all be underwater by 2010 or something? I didn't see the movie...
Domains generates guaranteed recurring revenue unlike most of their business ventures. If it's unprofitable they can raise rates or cut costs. This is typical MBA myopia where steady revenue with low growth potential isn't good enough and they'd rather destroy confidence just to brag on their resume about how they saved Google millions.

> > My Treo didn't have shovelware, [...]

> Could you sideload on those either?

AFAIK, the Treo was just a Palm PDA with phone functionality. IIRC, what you call "sideloading" was the only way to install applications on Palm PDAs (including the Treo).
If that where true, they would have replied to those Devs who accepted the new API pricing. Instead, they ignored them for at least 2 out of the 4 weeks notice they gave.
HN also has a prominent FAQ entry about this where they say they will help you with deletion requests for personal information if you email them.
That’s wild given that their reddiquette doc specific says the precise opposite

> Repost deleted/removed information. Remember that comment someone just deleted because it had personal information in it or was a picture of gore? Resist the urge to repost it. It doesn't matter what the content was. If it was deleted/removed, it should stay deleted/removed.
> the McDonald's app will refuse to work on a device with an unlocked bootloader.

This is exactly what I expect would happen if secure boot would be established on PC. And it seems to indeed be the case with the McDonalds app, so locked bootloaders are unhealthy for you in multiple way.
Little off topic but this kbin.social site seems really nice. Very short and clear privacy/terms, very good default settings, nice design. Slow though.
> Imagine a big corporation - lots and lots of various teams all doing their own thing - business processes, auth, customer admin etc.

In the past, I worked at a large retailer that started with the large shared database. It was as messy, if not messier, than you can imagine. We rolled out kafka to address exactly these issues where lots of people were generating messages and lots of people needed to process some of them. It was still significant work to manage that infrastructure in a globally redundant environment, but far far far far more manageable for ops teams and data producers/consumers than the BIG DB ever would be.

Use it to keep playing the game of acquiring wealth, silly! But seriously, the answers are probably forego entertainment and try to build something, or like donate it or something.
Yeah people are going into overdrive right now with speculating all the bad things reddit is doing. Someone claimed that reddit admins had taken over their local city's subreddit to install new mods, as if that was a priority for them right now.
>This is a false choice - there's no reason the iPhone can't be both a walled garden-type device and support alternative OSes/software, just like a computer.

Correct. There is no reason the iPhone cannot be both.

There is also no reason why Apple should be required to make it both simply because that's what a vanishingly small number of vocal malcontents wish for.
