There’s stuff people can do. Eat less/no meat. Buy an EV. Etc. But then commentators will refute that with all sorts of stuff “one person can’t make any sizable impact,” “EVs are powered from the grid which isn’t carbon neutral”, “EV tires spread particulate emissions.” Etc.

Thing is, denialism and stopping progress makes people looking for solutions also more extreme.

So who knows. Maybe part of the answer is partially ignoring or severely discounting certain Internet discourse.

Edit-so the early replies to my comment highlight my point.

On thinking further, people do need to talk. But the internet is clearly a noisy channel that props up voices that might not even exist outside of a special interest funding them (through bots and well funded campaigns). And people doing futile (because of bigger, larger problems an individual can’t directly stop) personal efforts might act as a pressure release. So what if they can’t turn off a big container ship or stop a wasteful airliner there’s at least doing what they can do. Especially if it’s relatively peacefully and part of normal process. Better than destroying a piece of art in the name of “awareness.”

Edit2-Unless radicalism from the other side is what commentators against individual emissions choices want? Push down thise concerned about climate change so that they do something radical, point to it, and suggest people should just continue business as usual.

Sounds like "End public availability on $Date" is in the cards.
This is great, thank you. Another approach is to do forecasting based on historical throughput (eg tasks/day). Generally using "story points" or other guesstimates turn out to be redundant if you have actual data (actual project by mostly the same team).

It takes into account stuff like n% of issues "blowing up" into subtasks, and some issues taking longer.

I read a great article on the subject which I've unfortunately misplaced - but the general gist is touched on in these:

"Forecasting software project’s completion date through Monte Carlo Simulation"

https://towardsdatascience.com/forecasting-software-projects...

"When will it be done? A data-driven approach to estimating project completion"

https://screenful.com/blog/when-will-it-be-done-a-data-drive...

"When Will It Be Done: Project Forecasting in Kanban(ize)" (product ad)

https://kanbanize.com/blog/project-forecasting/

"Project Forecaster"

https://github.com/rodrigozr/ProjectForecaster/wiki

Ed: forgot this one linked from forecaster above:

”#NoEstimates Project Planning Using Monte Carlo Simulation"

https://www.infoq.com/articles/noestimates-monte-carlo/

And maybe this project is of interest:

https://microsoft.github.io/forecasting/

In general I'd like to be able to just point a tool at N "completed" GitHub projects, and a fresh one - and get a forecast that adjusts as issues are completed and added (possibly filtering on issue tags in completed and new project) - but I'm not aware of anything out of the box for that.
>> There are some core and vital open-source projects that have enormous importance for millions. I think supporting them should be a priority.

I'm going out on a limb here, but what have you done to support them? Apologies if you have, but a lot of people seem to want someone else to support their favorite free thing.
Wouldn't this be mitigated by having a generous cap on the requests a Premium user could conceivably consume for typical usage? Per your leaked session scenario, Reddit could build some protections if the cap is exceeded. If credentials are compromised a user could request they be cycled and prudent decisions made at Reddit to provide them.
One of the big reasons that software estimation doesn't work well is because due to the virtual nature of software it is way too easy to move the goal post in subtle or not subtle ways.

In "real world" projects such as civil engineering everything is a lot more stable. You don't start with the intention of building a bridge and decide to turn it into an airport halfway through the project.

In software projects one way or another people do frequently keep changing things so the parameters are always changing from under your feet.
If i understood correctly the migration brought lots of users that were not expected and the instance is getting overwhelmed. It should get back on its feet if they mindfully upgrade it
If he did, would you mind sourcing it? Until then I don't see a reason to believe you, as you yourself say you didn't watch the movie.
You probably can.

But the criticism was that the job ad was not requiring knowledge of how to write code, and I was pointing out that the degree requirement (strict or not) indicates that that's not true.

If you don't have the required degree but can demonstrate equivalent skills, then that's fine. Kudos to the company about being flexible on the formalities side.

Yep I agree, if you posted on a specific subreddit this is already personal information about yourself. There is no way they are not violating GDPR if they deny a request to delete (but I guess they can block direct deletion in bad faith and tell you to submit a direct request).

The library bought those books and as such possess the physical copy. If somebody vandalizes it, that's destruction of property and bad.

Reddit never paid anybody. Reddit is made up of comments made by people, and those people can decide to delete these comments. Reddit is a for profit company looking to squeeze maximum shareholder value from the value provided by others people comments, and doesn't enjoy the same leniency that a public library would, IMHO.

I have a computer science degree and barely mention it in my resume because it’s just one of those “checkbox” things that doesn’t actually matter. At my current job I’m not sure anyone even knows that I have one from a decent school. it’s just credentialism. you don’t need a CS degree to be a good systems engineer. It can help you solve weird problems, and IMHO it allows me to think about certain things from a very particular lens a lot better than others, but you absolutely do not need one.

Why not use a bot to automatically post brand new chatgpt-generated fake comments in between edits with fake stuff? Or automate making edits that insert/delete/replace one word with a random word?

There's many different things to do that could trash the data and make it worthless for training AI. With the right tools, this sort of automation can also be made very difficult to detect (randomize the time interval between edits and the time of day on which they occur [normally distributed during prime time]).
Why not simply avoid buying an iPhone in the first place?
> doesn't that completely break down the moment a decent chunk of communities decides it must not be on reddit?

Of course it does. We only search with Google and site:reddit.com because it works. But it works VERY well right now. Remove that site:reddit and you don't instead get quality content from lots of other community forums. Instead you get garbage and ads. Reddit's only "moat" right now is that I, as a rational human being, will add site:reddit.com if I want to find an answer to a question.

There are other specialized communities that I will search using site:xyz.com. And there will be many more if communities leave Reddit and setup elsewhere. Time will tell if this will happen.
Nay, you are wrong to think that I am a Puritan. It is just that the website is horrible and I used 'depravity' in a humorous sense.
>> It's equivalent to a librarian restoring some of their books that have been vandalised by a disgruntled author.

No, your analogy is idiotic.

Librarian had a sign up: Authors are allowed to vandalise their books. Then they restored it.

Every single reddit post has a "delete" link. If Reddit doesn't want people to delete their posts ... then I will go out on a limb and will suggest to ... remove the "delete" link?

> the continued torture of the entire North Korean population is going to be one of the most tragic events of the 21st century. Despite the regime originating earlier, it feels to be most tragic now; long after any maligned geopolitical reason for the regime to exist has since disappeared

Their real "torture" is western sanctions and exclusion from global trade. The reason for the regime to exist has never disappeared and will persist for as long as North Korea is being attacked. Everything about it being "crazy hermit kingdom" stems directly from the dominant political-economical institutions isolating North Korea and by extent all the individuals from the rest of the world.

There is no excuse for treating people like that for generations. Worse than that, this ends up serving as a self-fulfilling prophesy that allows propaganda state media like BBC to push its narratives.

Yeah, for sure people will suffer, but that's not their government who is being tyrannical - everyone is pretty much aware who specifically fuck with their livelihoods.

Even worse, there seem to be lots of people in the west who actually seem to think that this approach is doing something positive and it's ok to be completely fascist as long as it serves some glorious political purpose.
When it first started doing this I found it be to more tear down the moat many developers like to put between them and the rest of the business. Basically get up and go talk to QA, helpdesk, delivery, and marketing. Find out what is failing and fix that. Make sure those groups can use and maintain the code being delivered. THEN work on things that are new or champion those things that are broken to get fixed in the next cycle. That was devops to me.

Then it turned into this guy who can not really do anything. Can not really check in code because the devs do that (separation of duties). So you never get any real experience in the codebase. Can not make any decisions because the marketing/product owners do that. Can not really make better test cases as that is for QA. You can however help on the helpdesk they are short 3 people today. Then the meetings. Endless meetings upon meetings. Because your 'devops' you need to know everything that is going on and better have those statuses on the high priority items to be fixed. Oh and you are 'on call' so you can never really 'go home'. Then if something breaks all you can do is just call in others and make them fix it. Making you little more than tier 3 helpdesk. Useless paper pusher job with zero authority.

Sound like you're the one who needs to have a talk with your manager. Either offer you support and more money or don't pretend to have a manager job.
I agree. But we really should be eating less red meat.
Numpy also wasn't very prominent in those days among Python users, the explosion of data science Python use happened later.

(Actually NumPy didn't even exist for most of Jython's active development, but some of its predecessors did)
This is a good point. A team might have a few people that will actively get their work done and find more while communicating what they're doing with management, so they can redirect if necessary. Others essentially need a babysitter. A good manager let's the hard workers do their own thing and supports them when they rarely need something, while spending more time working with the ones needing babysitting without dragging the hard workers into the mud.
> Do I mean "hire consultants?" No. What we need doesn't seem to exist. We need companies who do white glove integration of a software product with a bespoke PaaS. Like Heroku, but with more attention to architecture, monitoring, alerting, security, ci/cd, etc. Someone who will give you the tools, train your people, do integration alongside them, and provide support. And they could do this on a cloud account that the customer owns, with IAM guardrails to prevent them fucking up the platform.

I think one of the reasons this doesn't exist is that you are describing every single component of the software development process here.

I have a personal theory that software developers have developed severe tunnel vision about code in the last 10-15 years. Before then, most developers had some knowledge about deployment practices, shell scripts, apache, that sort of thing. They roughly understood how something like a web server worked; writing a toy one was in many CS curricula.

Whereas now software developers' number 1 skill set seems to be "I know how to solve complicated algorithmic problems". Which is fine and dandy, but it takes so much time to master that it drives out all other deployment basics that many of us acquired while tinkering with software. I am talking bare minimum here, by the way -- I have worked with developers a year or two out of college who did not know what a shell script was because they had spent their entire degree inside either an IDE or Leetcode.

This, combined with the fact that complexity has increased exponentially in the operations tooling space means that you sort of need knowledge about operations knowledge in your software engineering team along with complicated algorithmic problems. You could do this by hiring some very expensive consultants like you describe. I think you could also do that by altering your hiring pipeline to de-emphasize algorithmic problem solving, and increase the importance of ops knowledge and testing.
I've got a decade old account on which I've made a habit of manually deleting comments older than 6 - 9 months, since they get so little visibility and there's no value in leaving a breadcrumb trail.

Checking just now I see that comments up to 3 - 4 years old have been restored.

I'm not going to speculate as to why (beyond agreeing it's more likely to be incompetence than malice) but in my case at least there are definitely long deleted comments that have been restored.

My point is that greed always exists with or without capitalism. Many attempts over the last 150 years have been made under the assumption that "capitalism" is the problem and they all failed because "greed" is the problem. If you remove "capitalism" then people will simply find a new means to satisfy their "greed" because people are rather clever actually.
I am constantly dismayed that there aren't more electric and PHEVs that are set up to serve as backup power supplies. It seems like such a simple and obvious thing to do. With a big enough network of these we could solve a big part of the storage problem for sustainable energy technologies.
I think you misunderstand.

There is a line that is universally ignored in job ads. This is that line.

if I showed no ability to write a for loop or a linkedlist. I could still get that job.

I see it time and time again, it's like we must add that line to job descriptions, but it's never checked, never verified and ultimately it serves no purpose. There will be no difference between someone with a BSc in CompSci, an MSc in CompSci or no degree at all.

The thing that will get you that job, likely, is discussing how http works, how tcp works and perhaps something to do with exit codes.

Source? Evidence?

When someone says "X", and provides a source for their position, saying "no, Y" with no source, evidence, or even argument is rightly viewed as a very weak reply. Saying "no, Y, according to source Z" is a bit better, but it still leaves you with dueling sources and no reason why the reader should believe your source. A really strong reply is "no, Y, see source Z to explain what's wrong with the source the parent cited".

So... can you give us some reason why we should believe your position, instead of the GP's cited one?

The problem is that we miss simple and scalable platform for small-to-medium companies. Clouds might be that platform but many people don't want to lock in cloud API or just can't use clouds. Kubernetes is awesome but it's too low-level and needs to be accompanied by unholy mess of additional software and at that point it becomes too complex to be called "simple".

My opinion is that the platform must be:

Not built upon k8s. K8s is too complex by itself, too many moving parts, too many failure points. And everything built upon it makes it more complex. If you have team of devops, that's fine, they got work to be paid for. If you develop alone, that's a problem.

Leverage containers and docker. Docker is a thing that everyone knows, anyway.

It should be a ISO which runs in memory. Talos is a perfect example of this approach.

It should solve distributed storage automatically. You run this ISO on few computers, their local disks become a distributed storage.

It should provide overlay network for containers automatically.

It should have lots of low-level features built-in and without choice. I hate to choose between calico+istio vs cilium. It should not happen.

It should provide all the necessary metrics, centralized log storage, easily installable CI/CD pipeline, it should be resilient by default against crazy containers eating all memory or CPU or network or I/O.

I guess, it could be built upon kubernetes, but it must be a very well chosen set of components without a way to replace those components and it must be extremely resilient and well tested set of components without any nonsense. With some reasonable UI dashboard, so nobody would need to install those grafana monsters, for example. With built-in OIDC, so no need to spend months installing keycloak and hooking everything to it.

I saw some "platforms" built upon kubernetes, but those were duck-taped monstrosities which work as long as you pay their authors for 24/7 support and overvision.
So make it work in the background then, registering on lots of sub-reddits and similar, and slowly shitpost in all of them.
Yes, but we almost always have the latin derived form in close meaning other uses.

In your example, "caseum" is not transferred in common italian, but the "cheese industry" is "industria casearia", so - generally speaking - you can get most times the meaning.

The real issues come when there are "false friends", in the old times there was the famous (I believe fabricated) example "I VITELLI DEI ROMANI SONO BELLI", which is valid both in Italian and in Latin, but in the former language it means "Romans' calves are beautiful" while in the latter one it means "Go, Vitellio, to the sound of the Roman god's war".

> The process for selecting moderators is way less meritocratic or democratic than this. They merely got there first, finders keepers. The analogy for landed gentry is accurate.

This is all, of course, a distraction to divide and conquer.

Many mods polled their communities before going dark and there was a lot of support in general.

Hell, very often when mods are too much against the communities interests they migrate to another sub or sabotage it and then mods cave in.

Pretending that "mods are the evil guys that don't speak for the little guy" has to be the stupidest narrative so far and spez shows his extreme dishonesty there.

I thought he would beat the outage by "soldiering on"and letting things play out naturally, since there's no clear and friendly reddit alternative, but he's definitely coming out very aggressively in a manner that could actuslly hurt reddit and him further in the medium and long term.
