I would take public transportation if it meant not having to take buses only. Without trams or metros within cities or fast trains between cities, there’s really no benefit to me using those services over my car (unfortunately)

Buses are cheap for cities so they’re common, but I’ll just say it, they suck. Without dedicated bud lanes they get stuck in traffic, they’re slow, etc.
Just a counter opinion: My Twitter bubble moved to Mastdon (mapstodon.space, mastodon.social mostly). It's no a winner-takes-all, most seem just happy enough to have escaped some Twitter drama (and ads). The switch wasn't hard and the drawback managable, it will never be a full replacement.

Hey, I tried to contact you (via twitter since I couldn't find an email) about if you would be interested in doing a talk at öredev about ladybird a few months back. I assume the lack of a reply meant you weren't interested, but if that wasn't the case and it was just drowned out in your notifications let me know :)
> There's nothing about Discord that makes supporting a community easier

It exists, it requires minimal competence or attention to technically administer, and it provides adequate (though not great) tooling for moderation (which is then significantly improved at scale with third-party tools). It also provides a unifying umbrella with a single set of affordances where everything is, from shitposting friend groups to technical projects.

IRC exists, at least in a technically-correct-is-the-best-kind-of-correct sense. It requires nontrivial competence and attention to technically administer (and like, I wrote an IRC server once and still don't ask me to tell you, or to give a damn, what the alphabet soup of flags does). Moderation is actively bad, helped only by it being sufficiently annoying to get onto IRC that you probably are putting up a "you must be this tall to ride" gate.

It also just sucks to use. Phones exist and supporting them adequately is not optional in 2023. Bouncers are not a solution, they are an additional problem.

There's also limited space in people's brains for all the alternatives. Most people seem to find that That One Friend Who Uses Telegram (or Signal, or WhatsApp) when everybody else you know is on the Signal (or Telegram, or WhatsApp) island to be drifting away--it's not dissimilar. This also ejects Zulip--which is quite nice, IMO--and Mattermost-- which is not--and similar because when you've already got Slack and Discord fighting for cognitive space, a third option had better be step-change better, and they're not.

Sure? It was good enough, soon enough. Other things weren't good enough or soon enough.

> I'd much prefer to have something Reddit-like (structured around topics, asynchronous). I find chat-style to be good for... well... chatting. And worse for everything else.

Great, but most people...don't, and it's not hard to understand why. Chat has won because the world is an increasingly frustrating place and people have steadily decreasing ability to care about fucking with stuff. Forums are, for the most part, fucking with stuff. And worse: it's fucking with stuff for an unclear payout with regards to the thing that the prospective visitor cares about.

Other people don't care about your stuff as much as you care about your stuff, and that's not a dig, that's just how people's brains work. You can go stand alone, and appeal to the sliver who want to deal with creating an account and validating an email address and figuring out where the reply button is (oops it was the post button, now I created a new thread and people think I'm a rude jerk)...or you can use the thing everybody already does use, understands, and at least is willing to tolerate.

Unless you have a forum that has a genuine raison d'etre to stand alone as a thing, and are willing to consider a low-cut filter a feature of your community, it's a bad choice. And if you do qualify for those maybe it's a great choice, but most things simply do not.

Something Awful provides a real reason to be a distinct thing. Most other attempts at forums don't, regardless of topic.
Yes, I agree. This is fundamentally a communication issue not a “developers run amok” issue to me.

They shouldn’t be checking in after two months. They should have regular check ins.

They shouldn’t have had such a vague brief.

They should have discussed a wide range of off the shelf options from the get go to see if they needed something bespoke or not.
In PCB manufacturing, a jumper wire is just a wire soldered between two points. A designer might or might not install jumper pins like those you refer to.

Regarding the use of a 0-ohm resistor instead of a jumper wire: wires are rather annoying to deal with in pick-and-place machines, while a 0-ohm jumper can be reel-loaded like any other part.

I absolutely agree with the premise. People just love building things even when they're not needed. After a while, your ego gets attached to whatever it is you've built and you can't let it go.

I remember working at one place where somebody built a new framework to solve a common problem we all had. He pitched it to all the other devs in a meeting and I remember being confused about it because there was a standard framework that solved the problem already and did it in much simpler and more elegant way. (To be fair to him, this standard functionality was only recently introduced.)

During his presentation, I asked why the standard solution wouldn't work for him. It turns out he wasn't familiar with it. Fair enough, so later I messaged him and showed him the standard way to do it and how much simpler it was. He couldn't be swayed.

He just couldn't accept that his complicated solution wasn't necessary. He constructed scenarios where his idea was needed, even though I saw solutions to those scenarios using the standard framework.

Interestingly enough, one of the scenarios where his custom thing was needed was in some tests he had written where he did some complicated things to set things up. I looked at the tests and even there saw those complicated things weren't necessary! There were ways to simplify what he was doing so that the tests were better written and didn't need his custom tool.

Anyway, he wouldn't be convinced. And because he couldn't be convinced, we got stuck with his solution and saw people continue to work on it, add more functionality to it, fix bugs, etc. All of that work was just a waste of time when we could've relied on a standard solution, which was way more mature and way simpler.

All of this drove me crazy, but I realized that sometimes people are just unable to see simple solutions to problems. Worse, having one complex solution begets more complex solutions elsewhere.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_Instruction_Set

>"In 2018 Christopher Domas discovered that some Samuel 2 processors came with the Alternate Instruction Set enabled by default and that by executing AIS instructions from user space, it was possible to gain privilege escalation from Ring 3 to Ring 0.[5] Domas had partially reverse engineered the AIS instruction set using automated fuzzing against a cluster of seven thin clients.[12] Domas used the terms "deeply embedded core" (DEC) plus "deeply embedded instruction set" (DEIS) for the RISC instruction set, "launch instruction" for JMPAI, "bridge instruction" for the x86 prefix wrapper, "global configuration register" for the Feature Control Register (FCR), and documented the privilege escalation with the name "Rosenbridge".[5]"

Also -- I should point out that the debate of if x86 (CISC) CPU's contain RISC cores -- is largely academic.

Both RISC and CISC CPU's contain ALU's -- so our only debate, really, if we have one, is how exactly data that the ALU is going to process -- is going to wind up at the ALU...

It is well known in the x86 community that the x86 instructions are an abstraction, a level of abstraction which runs on top of lower-level of abstraction, the x86 microcode layer...

Historically, intentionally or unintentionally, most x86 vendors have done everything they can to hide, obfuscate, and obscure this layer... There (to the best of my knowledge, at this point in time) is no official documentation of this layer, how it works (etc., etc.) from any any major x86 vendor.

x86 microcode update blobs -- are binary "black boxes" and encrypted.

Most of our (limited) knowledge in this area comes from various others who have attempted to understand the internal workings of x86 microcode:

https://twitter.com/_markel___/status/1262697756805795841

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY5kucyhKFc

It should be pointed out that even if a complete understanding of x86 microcode were to be had for one generation of CPU -- there would always be successive generations where that implementation might change -- leaving anyone who would wish to fully understand it, back at square one...

To (mis)quote Douglas Adams:

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the x86 microcode layer is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable."

There is another theory which states that this has already happened." :-) <g>

- Sexuality is complex and consenting adults should be allowed to do what they want

- Sexuality is complex and people should be able to marry other people regaedless of sex and gender

Given the fact that these are all well researched topics I am not sure how a liberal position like that could be considered extreme.

Extreme would be something like demanding that gay people are ahot on the streets or that kids genitalia are checked at school.

On one project I did it was essential to be able to record how much a tool was used so that we could charge for it. The tool ran locally on the customers' machine and reported to our service. The overall mechanism that sent and received this information had to be reliable or we'd lose money but even worse would be to in some way overcharge customers. Lots of aspects of the design were complicated by this concern.

Then we ended up deciding not to make money out of it that way. So we burned enormous effort and created a horrible design for no reason.

So IMO the problem is usually with the way requirements are not usually well understood even by the people asking for them. Later on it becomes clearer what is needed but you're stuck with false assumptions baked into your design in a way that you never have bandwidth to remove because you need so much bandwidth just to do normal work....because of those assumptions.
It's not a good idea to use this site (or the Computer Language Benchmarks Games https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/ that it is partially based off) as an indicator of how may rewrites are necessary in order to generate good programs. The skill levels of the contributors and the size/popularity of the various programming language communities can vary a lot. The benchmark rules have been changing over time and contributors have been figuring out better algorithms over time so these both result in the contributed programs getting updated over time as well. Older programming languages have been around longer than newer programming languages and will have had more contributed programs consequently. Some programming languages are under more active development so require more revamps of existing programs. Etc...

I mean, what else would anyone expect after capital started siphoning off larger and larger amounts of money from labor in the 70s.

Repaying labor with a relative pittance due to growth and simultaneously lowering taxes, just to hoard capital at an ever increasingly more insane rate, while of course dismantling antitrust, will obviously just concentrate capital.

Exponentially concentrated capital will need to chase exponential returns…

The naive folly of the efficient market hypothesis is its childishly simplified view of the world; a given in a world of economists treating their social sciences as if it were as bound to nature as physics.

At no point is it clear that they’ve discussed off the shelf solutions, or infrastructure (storage, server hiding, CDN etc).

Yes, a Wordpress solution would work, but then why even budget 2 months for it, unless bespoke design is involved. Again that becomes a: this is too low or too high to be realistic

Do you notice how the part you quoted doesn't contain me shallowly dismissing the CLI tool as it relates to making Jira easier to use? How it contains a completely different point? You did just switch your complaint (from me dismissing a concept to me undermining the submission), so I think you noticed.

> This undermines the submission by reducing all tech to "Does Reddit control it? Then it's bad."

I also did not reduce it to that, as I didn't state anything about the tech. I only stated something about contributions to the tech. It's fine for me if you want to interpret this in the way you did, but trying to silence me because you don't like what you interpreted into what I wrote is a pretty strange thing to do. Just move on, and if you really want to, downvote me.

Otherwise your comment chain is much more non-productive than my original comment could be, since it doesn't even relate to what I wrote, only to what you think I meant.
