Hey, Alex the founder of actuated here, OSS developer and Go enthusiast.

We wrote a simple Go CLI to retrieve and format this data from the GitHub API. My favourite thing is being able to run it in a GitHub Action - screenshot at the end of the post.

> Whenever GitHub Actions users get in touch with us to ask about actuated, we ask them a number of questions. What do you build? What pain points have you been running into? What are you currently spending? And then - how many minutes are you using?

> That final question is a hard one for many to answer because the GitHub UI and API will only show billable minutes.
How plausible is this? Any EV/battery experts here?

Could this battery tech be used elsewhere too? For example, in mobile phones.
> This shows how important it is to learn about a company, it's culture, philosophy, and values before joining.

I can't recall the exact quote so paraphrasing here, I recall the gist of someone saying:

> When deciding whether or not to join a group of people, take a long hard look at people already there, how they work, how they think, and if there's something that you see and don't want to turn into, bail out. Because you're going to join a group of, say, 10 people, and in all likelihood these 10 people will change you, whereas the chances of a single individual changing 10 people are slim at best, and more realistically and bluntly put, nonexistent. So the three choices are a) run away, b) join and embrace (or cave in, depending on how you put it, which may or may not be toxic for you), and c) join but resist (which will be toxic for everyone)
Your example has a single store, there is no reordering. There is no value before 8, it doesn't require any barrier. If you make and additional store to the array, that's would be equivalent to my example.
Yes I'm French and live and work in France, but in the UK or Germany it seems to work the same way, with extremely low wages for software developers compared to managers (except, in some cases, in the startup sphere).
The contractors tax situation is irrelevant to you. The only thing that matters is income vs expenditure. Or in this situation, "how many hours do I have to work to pay the contractor's hourly fee?" and "how much faster is the contractor?". The tax stuff are just details around this.

In my example, a contractor who's twice as fast needs to cost $76 or less per hour . Thrice as fast is $114 or less.

You're right in principle though, just not on that calculation. In Sweden we have tax deductions for private citizens exactly to combat this issue: up to a certain amount per year can be deducted from your income, just like a company can, for certain services (such as cleaning or house repairs).
It is a power supply that if intelligent negotiations fail, falls back to providing 5V (at whatever current), usually (2023) USB-C.
> Apple doesn't track you to nearly the same extent as Meta does.

How do you know?
I don't think it's that weird. Reading is still work. It's a kind of work that often gives you more reward than you feel it takes away while doing it but I still think it makes sense to talk about a kind of cost here. Because it affects how we relate to the activities we chose.

Some books are immediately rewarding, like fiction, some are rewarding at multiple moments later in time, like fact books. (Not saying face books can't be rewarding in the moment as well though.)

In game design this doesn't seem like a far fetched concept. You often talk about grindy games for example.

Also, how else do you explain why we tend to buy books and then not read them? Maybe for books the cost is often the initial cost before you get into it enough to enjoy it?
As a user, all he's done is prove to me that he will cave instantly to shareholder pressure. There aren't even any public shareholders asking for more money now and he's already cranking the money-making lever. How am I to expect the site to become better in the future when infinite growth is expected? Why would I put my time in this site over another?
I worked in (too) large scrum team and frustrated, at some point, I also pulled data from Jira. It turned out that our actual pace of work was a fraction of the velocity we used to determine which task to take up into sprint.

There can be a lot of scrum theatre played entirely for the management and divorced from reality. Influence on the work done is completely secondary.

But I find it completely natural that in corporations most important function of a lot of things is providing everyone sufficient excuse to get paid.
Open source has a specific meaning clarified in each license (like truffle, truffle-flavoured in food). Each license is unambiguous about what one is allowed to do.

Some licenses favor the freedom of the user, and some the freedom of the developer, in different degrees. It is not a "name only" thing, unless we insist on misinterpreting it.
Wow, you just explained the unpleasant tingly feeling I get when people talk about using Google for infra. I now understand that it's my judgement-radar pinging.

I happen to feel the same way about companies that use JIRA... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> Reddit doesn't have a moat

Reddit has a tremendous moat. Like any social network, its users are the moat. Its usability has gotten worse in the past few years but there simply aren't great alternatives. (Federated services like Lemmy are not serious reddit alternatives.)
You think it's democratic if the investors picked him? That's not democracy, that oligarchy.

But in both cases I don't think that democracy is what you want. In the case of subreddits, it doesn't matter because you can always create your own subreddit. And in the case of Reddit as a whole, if people stick with the site after this, then they'll deserve the corporatist crap they'll get served.
Seeing as Reddit is already in the top visited sites in the US by many metrics [1] I find it somewhat hard to believe that they can't find a way to better monetize than astronomically increasing its API access.

The voting culture on YT and Twitter could be different.

Everyone kept going on about pressing the like button and smashing the subscribe button on YouTube for years.

I would not be surprised if people on YouTube use the like button more actively than people on Twitter.

Besides, is 1.7 orders of magnitude (from one of your examples) even significantly different from 2.1 orders of magnitude enough to draw any conclusions at all?
Anyone reading history or following world news will be well aware of that "power corrupts." Period. Capitalism is merely the modern fast means to power but even so its far from the only one. Kings are morally corrupt, politicians are morally corrupt, click bait thought leaders are morally corrupt, cult leaders are morally corrupt, etc, etc. There is always some proxy for social status and power which people will quiet literally kill for. Nowadays it's mostly money or at least it's the most accessible one.
Washington state AG: T-Mobile is wrongly withholding documents in security probe
Yep - there’s a very real benefit for me of the satisfaction of having something reused. It’s a deep seated sense that this is the way. It’s worth the time for me to find a new home for many things.
That just about sums it up right there. Doing the same thing over and over (shareholder capitalism) and expecting a different result after the platform gets big. Calling daddy government. Bitterly complaining. But to acknowledge the root cause and an actual solution of programmers enabling decentralization? Nah, that smells like web3! Don’t subject me to this decentralized nonsense! Brrrr

By the way, the reaction of those who were used to centralized control has always been priceless… this is the earliest moment when they were confronted with the possibility of everyone empowered to do their own thing on their own personal computers:

The committee meeting where the team first presented the Gopher protocol was a disaster, “literally the worst meeting I’ve ever seen,” says Alberti. “I still remember a woman in pumps jumping up and down and shouting, ‘You can’t do that!’ ”

Among the team's offenses: Gopher didn’t use a mainframe computer and its server-client setup empowered anyone with a PC, not a central authority. While it did everything the U required and then some, to the committee it felt like a middle finger. “You’re not supposed to have written this!” Alberti says of the group’s reaction. “This is some lark, never do this again!” The Gopher team was forbidden from further work on the protocol. (https://www.minnpost.com/business/2016/08/rise-and-fall-goph...)

Times change, the hilarity of resisting decentralization stays the same…
Best alternative I ever found was hacker news - rarely visit Reddit since finding hacker news
The problem is that you don't know if the link you're clicking on is a lemmy link or not.

We are slowly approaching the limits of web browsing, where the document and the application are intertwined. We are limited by the tools at hand, unfortunately.
Scientists learn about Covid superspreaders by deliberately infecting volunteers
Not to be a bandwagoner, but Lemmy has really picked up over the last few days. There's plenty of scaling issues right now, but take a look at the centralized community browser (https://browse.feddit.de/) to see if there are enough interesting budding subreddits there to pique your interest.

Will 90% of Redditors move over? Not immediately, and likely not ever. But if maybe 10% leave -- largely comprised of enthusiasts, moderators, and power users who benefited the most from old.reddit and third party apps -- then we've got a community the size of 2007 Reddit anyway. Which everyone seems to agree was a better-sized community than Reddit today anyway.
Where JavaScript can run vs. What JavaScript can do
Sure, it's a desktop with a 35-50W TDP, M2 Pro is around 30W?

I agree M2 is better, but not at 4x the price for 1

My responsiveness is great, and Linux experience for my UC (dev) is much better.

This is not the previous discussion, nor am I one of the previous users from a previous discussion made over two months ago. I do not care what other people have argued about and am not making their argument.
I stand corrected. Though that was in 1991, which is 7 years after the timeframe the OP is arguing about.

Wait until folks catch on that by being aware of your environment, using the washroom doesn’t require leaving AR.

There used to be local city newsgroups about 30 years ago.

I do not see why there couldn't be moderated usenet groups again.

Then again, last time I read a newsgroup was some 12 years ago when I created a simple newsgroup client (with built in Python nntplib) and qt.

There was some active news groups but very few.
There was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW-BASIC before that, which allowed me to start programming. Edit: fixed link
It isn't though. Facebook and Twitter have paid moderators that are employees, but since they are uninterested in building communities with quality content, you just end up with what they are today.
I'm surprised recently, just how many job offers and what compensation my devops friend is getting (he's been a devops for almost a year... before that he was tech support, very basic technical knowledge becomes he comes from outside tech).

My senior full stack developer LinkedIN requests are pretty low volume for some months now, while he gets flooded with offers with compensation more than most senior devs I know.

His skill set is also (and I love the guy dearly, I'm trying to be objective and he also feels this way) maybe 1 / 5 of what a senior dev has. Basically he's "I’d wager most of what they are doing is using Terraform and YAML to do menial tasks for the engineering team."
>Facebook doesn't use sideloading on the android platform, neither does any of the other big companies.

1. Epic.
2. Unlike Google, Apple each year pours thousands of hours of developer effort into making it harder for Facebook to track users without their consent. The difference between "what is allowed in the store" and "what is possible on the device" is greater on iOS.
> And everybody is focusing so much on the estimates, tickets like this was the end goal

It is. The end goal is not to build something. It is to provide everyone sufficient excuse to get paid for a period of time.
Absolutely this. Paperwork, legal obligations, and user support woes, with minuscule margins.

It's a shame, as they tied in domain ownership verification and basically one-click Workspace setup if your desired Workspace domain was already with GD...
Being popular isn't their primary goal.

(I'm not saying I like the changes or think they are good, I'm just saying that you aren't analyzing their motivations if you focus on popularity)
I would assume the pub would pay for playing it, same as radio is paying for playing it.
Ironically, making something good for free shows me goodwill and makes me more likely to pay for it.
What?

The original IBM PC came with BASICA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_BASIC#IBM_Advanced_BASIC

From 1983, MS DOS came with GW-BASIC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW-BASIC

From 1991, GW-BASIC was replaced by QBasic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QBasic

I would say, DOS always shipped with Basic. QBasic remained included up to Windows ME (the last Windows that came with DOS).
If people cared about society the same way they care about reddit the world would be a much better place.
Apple vs. Meta: the battle for our virtual future
This is absurd. The community has decided. Go look at any popular Rust library. The panicking strategy will be the same in all of them: if a panic actually occurs at runtime, it's considered a bug. But libraries still use unwrap in the same way asserts are used.

I've asked many people to show me real Rust code that does it differently, and I haven't found any takers.

The confusion here is mostly in terminology and in the "peanut gallery."

This has literally been a solved problem since Rust 1.0. I know because I was there and published a blog post on exactly this topic.
Pété de rire.

> it also took several hours of my time, which probably cost me more than a new generator

Don't forget to also factor in the hidden cost of depriving the CS field of many great works during said hours which is incalculable imo.
I have no idea how DevOps morphed from having the Dev team and the Ops team working together instead of throwing shit over the wall to a job description that neither side wants to have, yet here we are.
> That's because indirectly you're suggesting to get rid of people as well.

That could have certainly been the case in some cases (the overpaid British corporate Scrum master consultant).

For the product owners, it could have been the "nobody gets fired for buying IBM": nobody gets reprimanded in a traditional, slow moving, German company for sticking to the same ol Scrum ceremonies.

For some developers, they might have valued the meetings for the pointlessness of it: just say your internet is poor, turn off the camera, then do the dishes, take out the trash, jump in with a hot take to start another 20 discussion in the call, go on to working out, and preparing dinner.

After I failed to make any change in the organization after a year of trying, I switched my modus operandi to the above described developer, and started looking for another job.

<< If you mean the skill tree, most people just follow a guide.

At the beginning? Sure. Eventually though a boredom does set it and a player seeks their own fun be it lore, own builds or something else like gauntlet. I am saying this as a person, who spent too much time on it already.

I remember there was also a Prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor. They were called Scarlet Caps or something similar.
I have been getting urgent notification emails from certain vendors & partners. It makes me sick to think about the data that got scooped on this one.

From my perspective, I'd say that every single US financial institution was impacted in some way by this.
This is why I've been playing indie ges almost exclusively lately. The core game play is just so much tighter in a small game vs. AAA games where they implement a huge amount of features.

This CEO should be removed, not the moderators.
The goal here is not to shrink the black market. It's harm reduction.
Let us be real here and acknowledge that he played around, made a big mistake and got called up to honor a bid he evidently didn't really stand behind. If he wanted twitter he could have been a lot more purposeful about acquiring it.
They offer that now, but back in 2014 when Google Domains launched many registrars offered it with an additional fee (like $1 per mo or some other ridiculous pittance). I admit I don't know the GDPR ramifications of such a thing now.

A vestibule. This is common practice in the SCIFs that are used to protect classified data -- makes it harder to gain access, also makes it harder to see in from outside. Makes sense to have it on planes for similar reasons.

My understanding is the chip makers, not just Apple but for Android that's Qualcomm, Samsung, etc.

Apparently only the chip makers have the necessary info to release the drivers for the latest Linux kernel, unlike your laptop where newer versions of Linux can always be recompiled for your hardware without help from Intel or AMD.

This is also why 3rd party Android distribution have to provide separate images for each device, while Debian can distribute a single image that works on any x86 machine.
If telephony and SMS reliability is the deciding factor, I'd be curious to hear the motivation behind getting a secondary data-SIM for your Linux-whatever and a dumbphone for phone+SMS.
I did point out that "Every version of macOS that shipped with a CD had either PBX (Project Builder X) or Xcode...", and in the same post pointed out that "Last time I checked, the Mac that shipped in 1984 didn't have a CD drive, and the original Mac OS that shipped with the system was a ROM, so no CD was shipped with it..."

So you're annoyed that I pointed out that every version of Mac OS (including System 7.5, 8 and 9) all shipped with some kind of dev environment (and I concede that Hypercard is applying that loosely) and pointed out that the 128K Mac did not have an OS shipped on a CD or a method for reading the CDs at the time (were CD-ROMs even a thing in 1984 - I can't remember)?

I tell you what it doesn't prove either way; programable computer were "despised by Steve Jobs". That is what I was taking umbrage with.
Well, yeah. 25 years ago, there was a thing called a sysadmin. A sysadmin was an infrastructure engineer that knew how to code to automate everything. There was SAGE and various UNIX and linux groups.

A lot of Windows people disliked the concept of Sysadmins because they didn’t know how to program and tried to paint the concept as elitist.

A decade later someone announces the concept of DevOps, which is an infrastructure engineer that knows how to code to automate everything.

Whatever. it’s not worth getting worried about. At least automation is being considered important again, we have infrastructure as code now, the languages are better than Perl, sendmail is dead, and as long as you stop them installing kubernetes unnecessarily (which they will try) they’ll be fine.
The problem with DevOps is not really how it is practiced, but how it is named. DevOps is a bucket that a bunch of things are thrown into, and everybody thinks the thing they threw in is DevOps with the others being mislabelled.

Is having a DevOps team wrong? No, having automation experts, infrastructure experts, integration experts, etc. all makes perfect sense. Bundling all those disciplines under a single term is what is wrong.

Is aiming to do "less DevOps" using "serverless" wrong? No, aiming to reduce infrastructure maintenance and design overhead is perfectly sane. Interpreting that as entirely avoiding infrastructure, or as affecting any of the other disciplines is what is wrong.

What we need is better work descriptions and team organizations. But while the buzzword DevOps is bad, it's not so bad to have a fancy term that executive management understands and can put some money behind - money that allows you to spend time or buy solutions to solve your actual process problems are.
Just anecdotally from my experience glancing at reviews occasionally on apps like that, that have a physical presence or a website. In the latter case I think it's inevitable and completely fair, the app can be the primary way you interact with it, how you discovered it, how someone else may discover it, and a review of the thing itself might be perfectly useful.

I think it's less likely to happen with Apollo if at all, because those users are clearly aware of, and even have front of mind in the moment, the distinction between Reddit the platform and Apollo the client. The number of people who discovered Reddit via Apollo must surely be extremely small?
> What is plain hypocrisy to me are the people who developed "for profit" open source projects, and are angry when they dont get paid enough, when the projects they have created rely on GNU tools, the Linux kernel (Perhaps Debian), a libre software database on so on.

We're all standing on the shoulders of giants. I don't see the hypocrisy here.
Bang! Spot on! Love NXP. Everyone else here, read the above comment.
> Syphilis rates were at a historic low from 2000 to 2001, but have increased every year since, with an increase of 28.6% from 2020 to 2021, which was likely exacerbated by an interruption in treatment and prevention due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

What about 2000 to 2020? What's driving the steady rise? Wouldn't a steady 10 year rise trigger some sort of warning and "counter offensive"? Especially since the future of effective antibiotics is less assured.
Bold to assume any savings from this will go into 'improving' search.
Gestern bin ich mit dem Freund meiner Mutter, der in dem großen roten Haus im Tal des Berges wohnt, Fußball spielen gegangen.

So you get a lot of context before you actually get what happened.
I feel like DevOps should be a skill to mention you have experience in (Ops with experience of Dev or vice versa) but somehow morphed into a job description all on its own, defeating the objective of the term completely
That's true, but I think different people have different needs and preferences.

Many companies give developers laptops (even though workstations would be faster) so evidently some people already trade portability for power, so having your phone be your main computer would just be a further step in that direction.

For people who aren't developers, e.g. managers doing email, browsing, Excel etc., I'm sure a phone would be powerful enough.
That would block every small business owner, independent artist, indie game developer, twitch streamer, open source developer with a donation link, etc. from the platform. The legal hassle alone would make them not want to deal with it.
I've had several Android phones now, if I do change them before 3 years it's due to their battery.
