My favourite part of Tox is the fact that you don't need to supply any information to start chatting, unlike e.g. Telegram and Signal.

Unfortunately Tox is extremely unpopular/unknown compared to those other platforms, so it's harder to get people to use it.
Intel’s New Chip to Advance Silicon Spin Qubit Research for Quantum Computing
Exactly.

On that topic – what do you do when you observe that in your test results? What's the right way to interpret the data?
To be fair from what I understand he only posted the private conversation because Huffman was intentionally lying about him to a large audience and he was forced to defend himself. I'm not saying he's handled this amazingly but Reddit absolutely dug their own hole in this case.

I don't think even Alastair Campbell could teach them effective crisis management.
The article buried it a bit: cycle time. Reducing cycle time means more value faster. This is a good metric for driving discussions.

As for points, the best system I've worked with is 1, 2, or 3 points.

1: we know exactly what to do.

2: we have an idea what to do and we feel the story should not be broken up any further.

And 3: we don't know how to solve this; break it up or create a spike to study the problem to break it down or accept the unknown.

Everything practically becomes a 2, and is thus in line with the article - the number of stories is pretty reliable between sprints and for projections.

The advantage of 1, 2, or 3 over "no points" is that it drives conversions on if something should be broken down. The team quickly starts creating tickets that generally are 2s and pointing a story typically takes a team of 6-8 about 10 seconds. A 3 may be talked about for a minute before it is accepted or broken up as agreed to by the group.
> For example, “bajar del carro” becomes “get down from the car”

Interestingly, 'carro' is borrowed from the English 'car'. In "Spanish Spanish" the word for car is 'coche'.
Would you take this decision if you invested in Reddit yourself?
Ha, that’s a great point!

Imgur also became a community of its own. I don’t remember when it happened, but perhaps Reddit thought they were becoming a true competitor and opted to pull away.

re The Kotlin example fun String.mutate():, extending the builtin String class.
This a favorite example, because in Java builtin classes are sealed/closed, and in Kotlin and many other langs they are open, so you can monkeypatch those system classes. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/sealed-classes.html#sealed-class...

A cool new feature or a bad mis-feature?

Closed classes offer tremendous compile-time safety guarantees and optimization possibilities. with open classes you have to check inheritance on each and every call at run-time, with sealed classes you can easily inline them. A much cooler feature than open classes.

Larry Wall was so angry about closed java classes that he wanted them open and slow. On the other hand, Damian Conway, the perl6 designer, wanted them closed by default. You have to look at the current raku design if they are still open or closed. One of the many reasons why raku is so slow.
20 years ago, when I was trying to enter the field, sysadmins were almost all former developers who had a pretty fundamental understanding of operating systems.

Somewhere along the way "sysadmin" became a euphemism for helpdesk, and some folks thought "devops" (as a job title) was new, but it was just the same old sysadmins really, or new devs becoming new sysadmins with the fresher title, they felt themselves the vanguard of a new paradigm, I'm sure.

Now we're in the same situation again, where "devops" (as a job title) can have no development experience. So we need a new term, apparently.

Maybe gatekeeping is useful to stop this job title treadmill.
Doesn't look like he tried Plasma Mobile either
Public charging is a bit of a rip-off.

Some new apartment blocks have charging in the car park that is at-cost. And ofcourse if you own a house with a driveway, that allows you to access cheaper rates.

Additionally, the current energy crisis should be temporary, normally electricity is 1/3 the price of petrol. At least if the tory government, that constantly harps on about growth, stops blocking construction of every windfarm and solar panel they can.

In personal experience, in iur famioy BMW it was the engine that failed.
Do you mean they keep patching stuff? What's the problem with tracking their patches a bit more slowly?

And the growth was really driven by the great exodus to service oriented and microservices architectures from monolithic webservers deployed to Tomcat and the like. The author in the OP really nails it when he talks about the ever-growing complexity of modern tech stacks. It necessitates this blurring of the lines.
I’ve been thinking about this too, and recently came back across news.ycombinator.com, which I’ve had an account on since 2016 but haven’t looked at in ages. Have been finding it to be a fantastic alternative to Reddit actually, containing content that’s actually interesting, a much simpler structure and interface, and higher-quality discussion! Highly recommend.
I do cycle regularly, but my feeling is, in most places, health benefits don't offset danger coming from other motorists and road users.
It's the capitalism cliché, but it is not the capitalism. Even if you only seek profits, it's not necessarily in their interest to get tunnel-vision and seek short-term profits. Depending on how it proceeds this might be a lesson in how capitalism actually eliminates this very behavior/cliché. We're going to see.

Disclaimer: I am all for criticizing capitalism, but using the cliché is not well argued imo.
True. I've not reached that stage, and probably won't, since most of those are illegal to do on road cars where I live.
Literally, though it's hardly obvious. Language Transfer does a good job of presenting Romance languages as conceptually regular in a way that's helpful, at least for beginners.

I forget the term, but there's a concept where a word's distinct parts become merged in the mind of a native speaker. A simplistic example would be "breakfast". I was surprised as a kid to learn that it means "break fast" because I thought of it as an indivisible thing. Maybe that's obvious to Germans.

Verb conjugations can be similarly decomposed, as long as you learn the conceptual "regular" form and the pronunciation "value system" that creates all the variety and irregular forms. It doesn't work for everything, but I think it's useful. It's more of a stretch for Portuguese, but the etymology is still there.
om my god this guy is full of stuff.....

>> "The growing zeitgeist is that “platform engineering is the future.” And given that I co-founded a product in the space, I sure hope so!"

I am so sick of these shoesalesman trying to get you to adopt their platform which runs on another platform which runs itself on wishful thinking and startdust.

Kubernetes can be deployed with a single binary nowadays there is no magic anymore the terraform scripts do look similar because you are not doing the actual hard parts like cis compliance or even selinux.

This whole discussion is so moot, that every time it comes up i feel a little bit sad inside. Call the things i do what you want, call us the "server-clowns" who cares.

It doesn't matter if its "platform engineering" "principle engineer" "devops dude" its the whole shebang of "guy with experience builds stuff that code runs on".

You dont get people who do "DevOps" fresh out of college or people that have been barely using a computer for some time. You get the dudes with experience, but every time someone with experience makes up one of these buzzwords like "platform engineer" "lord of the box" or whatever, tons of people just assume the role without having the experience. And then you hire the cheapest ones and wonder why you need 15 of them.

None of this is hard if you have been playing with these concepts for ages and finally that's what companies pay you for.

And having your entire statup on serverless? Give me a break. How can you tell that someone doesnt follow compliance or any other regulatory body in one sentence....

If you click on the username you will see that this person tried the same post 7 month ago and therefore i will say it again:

Why?
They probably use WINE based replacements such as Lutris or PlayonLinux
Exactly, I don’t think people would remotely feel the same if Wikipedia did something to alienate all the experienced moderators in such a way a mass exodus occurred. Wikipedia would go to shit as inexperienced mods took over

Yes there will be inexperienced people willing to step up as mod in the short term because they probably have zero clue what it entails. It will go poorly and the subreddits will be overrun by shit.
No, it means that for most companies Ops roles are redundant.

That's why tools like Ansible or Terraform, and the whole Cloud Computing emerged: so that infrastructure can be abstracted away, and you, as a developer who wants to deploy their code to production are only required to create a couple of simple yaml files, trigger the deployment pipeline, and be done with it. Ops roles are outsourced to AWS or other provider.

I know, that's just a theory, real life is nowhere near that ideal state.
Is this from experience or conjecture?

I haven't been in this situation myself, but I imagine that people organized enough to do tests are organized enough to keep a stash.
Show HN: DocsGPT-7B – purpose optimised and finetuned model for documentation QA
Indeed. In this particular situation it cannot happen since that reservoir is normally not under pressure, but I've had a not properly connected line (my fault) disconnecting while performing an unrelated operation.

Luckily that one was just a quick trip to the parts store to get the right fluid and reconnecting the line properly this time!
Stuff gets murky when admins ban other instances based on the instances that those other instances federate with.

So if you have instance A which is federated with instance B, and if instance A sees instance C as hostile, it obviously defederates from instance C, but it would become problematic if instance A would also defederate from instance B simply because instance B is federated with instance C.
So I would go as far to say as the only thing that was keeping Google useful to me was Reddit. I'd use Google to search Reddit and find info I need.

I honestly think this incident is a lot more major than people realize. A major, major, major part of the internet is being vaporized for almost no good reason at all.

It's pretty insane when you think about 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."

Now ask the same CTO (or, hell, most HN users) what they think of tech support, or QA, or tech writers.

Developers are like gods in the pecking order compared to these other professions.
I think the issue there is that Workplace is already the bigger, well established product that people are already aware of and using.

Registars upsell to higher margin products and services that they aren't well known for (e.g. GoDaddy has dedicated server plans). Google probably has anyone who would use Workspace in the door already via Gmail.
Multiple-vaccinated or has had Covid? Why only those two options? I and a big portion of my circle is unvaccinated, healthy and didn't have Covid.
I think part of the reason this trend has been going on, and I have observed a similar thing as you point out here, is that businesses have tried to get rid of this “role” for a long time now and by constantly reinventing and renaming it. They have failed miserably. When people ask what I do, I call myself a systems engineer or “backend engineer” if that makes more sense to them. it’s more apt for what is actually needed and asked of me.
I believe they are trying to protect themselves from imgur or YouTube deciding they don’t like being an unpaid data store.

It’s stupid and premature in my opinion; they should have bought Imgur instead.

And the Reddit video player:host was notoriously crappy.

It's a loser fight for reddit. If you show your data to user, in any form, it can be scrapped. period.

C4 is more than adequate.

Draw the boxes and lines and make sure that people understand what they mean. Describe the system from the perspective of the reader. Just like a real architect will have different drawings/plans/elevations for their customer, the planning authorities, and the builder.

The architecture diagrams are meant to communicate the design, not comply with some over-worked standard.

UML was a clusterfuck that evolved from the trifecta of late 90s OOP (inheritance not composition), design patterns that mostly provided fill-ins for what was missing from Java as a language, the ridiculous concepts of generating code from diagrams that could be regenerated from code, which never, ever, worked, in the same way that ORMs have an impedance mismatch between OO and relational logic.

It was yet another silver bullet, the late 70s/early 80s had "structured programming", the late 80s/early 90s had CASE, the 90s had all the stupid diagramming tools where people argued about the shape of the bubbles and what arrows to put on the lines.

There was also the Capability Maturity Model, where everyone was trying to get to "Level 5" which was only useful if you were doing exactly the same software over and over again, along with the "6 Sigma" and "Black Belt" nonsense.

The 2000s had the "iterative Rational Unified Process" (an excuse to sell expensive tools from IBM), along with CORBA et al.

The last decade has suffered from the Agile-with-a-capital-A and especially "Scaled Agile" which is just an excuse for project managers to again treat programmers as fungible, while losing all of the affordances of actual project management, like GANTT, critical path, S curves, earned value etc.

Sprints are nonsense, so is "t shirt" sizing and velocity and burn down charts, and retrospectives and scrum "masters".

There are a couple of useful things:

* Domain Driven Design, using Names That Make Sense To The Customer

* Entity Relationship Diagrams, where the Entities are the same Names as the DDD

* State Diagrams for those Entities, describing the events that will cause them to change state

* Event definitions that match the State Diagram transitions, where externally generated events end up being your external API.

Bah, I've been in this industry for almost 40 years and its the same shit over and over, just with different names, and different consultants selling expensive courses.
Really? If there are safety issues unresolved, the factory could burn down or people could die… programming rarely puts people in similar life or death situations
In mobile version you can't do it easily. Also the UI is very basic, almost like google didn't want you to use it.

I get what you're saying, and somewhat agree, but Reddit has shown they're willing to fill their own communities with bot posts to pad their numbers. What makes you think they're not buying reviews?

Yeah, any of those 3 would be fine. Except that in all cases it needs 6 months notice to reduce the hit on app developers that have year long contracts with users.
Type 2 supports 3-phase AC, something both CCS combo 1 and NACS don’t. That alone would make a transition in Europe a terrible idea, especially since the Tesla connector doesn’t even seem to have a path to 3-phase support.

Yes, Type 2 Combo 2 is a bit bulky, but otherwise it’s perfectly fine.
> Whose security boundary is also the kernel. It's not that much different.

That's the whole point: If you have to chroot/container everything because it violates regular permission models too much, PHP is not multi-tenant capable by itself.
I have to disagree with this. Sure, it's different from 'all my friends are there' like on Whatsapp and Facebook. With Reddit it's 'all the info is there'.

I'm looking for a set of binoculars? Check the discussion on Reddit. Looking for some info in flashing Tasmota? Check the discussions on Reddit. Need some info on debugging my 3D printer? Same.

I've resorted to appending 'Reddit' to my Google searches whenever I'm looking for experiences people have with products or services, because it's a pretty sure bet for getting useful answers. It's also well indexed by search engines as opposed to Facebook groups and it has a much lower barrier for asking questions than Stack.

The only reason all of this content is there, is the network effect of those loose communities all being attached to the same domain and having a single account to interact with all of them. And of course, not having to search all over to find the best community / private forum for whatever thing you're interested in. As a man of many hobbies, Reddit is great and I really hate that Discord is starting to become the alternative, because searchability is crap and discussions are impossible to follow.
My 10 year old BlackBerry Playbook was light years ahead of the iPad in functionality with standard features like mouse support (which iPad only received a few years ago). The QNX-based OS v2.x was amazing. In fact, QNX is now used on over 200 million automobiles.

There's lots of moving parts, some systems are very complex and it's a space where experience is worth a lot - it's hard to get started with ops 101 just by yourself like you can do with frontend web development for example.
Yes, because I'm not motivated by money.
That's why I'm not in the position invest in the first place ;-)
Egg prices continue to plummet. National average is now $2.67 per dozen
This can be nuanced into infinity though. For example, the "first price" is not the first either. I usually spend good time looking for a good deal, a trusty device, or something to consume, before paying the "first price".

So for the sake of simplicity, and to invoke thought, I think the two prices are good enough.
> The distinguishing part of the articles option seems to be that webassembly functions are uploaded in an OCI container, which I don't think anyone else supports, and I don't think was designed with this use case in mind?

OCI is just the storage and registry format, and is being used for all sorts of things (e.g. you can store OPA policies for conftest in it). I'm not familiar with Fermyon's internal workings, but my read of it was that they simply use the storage format, not that there's an intermediate container layer.

Edit: can confirm, there are no containers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36352869
Is it any interesting?
I think your guess would be right, if it wasn't for the fact that Google has perfected the art of providing absolutely no customer support. They are experts at hiding behind walls and setting up moats. So I don't think support was a factor in this specific case.
They’re all 100% so is there any difference?
And that’s the bet on his side. He has reached a point where he believes the users’ options are non-competitive, so the way he sees it, users doesn’t have any choice. It’s his way or no way. The average user doesn’t care, they just want to have fun. Which might also be why he is okay with changing all the mods, because those are the people like you and I that care and will take up the fight.
unfortunately this doesn't work if the user doesn't have write permissions for /etc/hosts already.

perhaps: echo "127.0.0.1 reddit.com # The real blackout" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts ?
The Trump forum has split off to patriots.win and appears to use that code. I'm using it as an example of a fork, not because I support any of the content.

Or they could hire the mods, like some other sides do? The mods here are regular users, which also means (by Reddits own terms and rules) that they can do whatever they want with their subs. That also means shutting or locking them down. If they were on the payroll, that would not be an option.
