Not just that, but:

- the individual opportunity costs of learning multiple VCSs likely outweigh the cost of learning 1, even if it's suboptimally difficult

- the community-wide leverage lost by having significant fractions of prospective oss devs who aren't comfortable contributing via one VCS or another probably outweighs the marginal leverage lost by alienating the fraction of prospective oss developers that find git unlearnable or oppressive or whatnot

(I am ~fine with breaking the monoculture for a once-a-generation move to a clearly superior model, but there's a risk of fracturing the ecosystem across several VCSs for decades to come.)

Cops don't say "A cop said the suspect had a gun, and that's why he shot him", they say things like "officer-involved shooting" and "The teen was also a part of the incident and was hit in the abdomen by the one shot fired from the deputy’s gun, he said."

The framing is what matters, and the WaPo story, the frame doesn't question whether or not Amazon's purchase was anti-competitive, just whether or not Amazon did a good job running it

Nice project. Thank you for sharing.
> when you have two

I tend to refactor on two, but I've heard that letting DRYness lapse until three tends to be the sweet spot in terms of likeliness to break even in effort. Although I guess pages per site is almost guaranteed to hit 3 anyway, whereas in general a block of code being used 3+ times doesn't necessarily have that same likelihood.
I also hate the news (and advertisements).

The news will never teach you how to think. It will tell you what to think.

I love books though. Books don't tell lies to you because you have to think for yourself.
I don't think anyone is talking about painting the desert with this stuff, so it isn't geohacking in any real sense.

What you CAN do with this stuff is paint your roof and external walls with it, which will reduce the need for active cooling in your building. This both saves money for the purchaser (making it commercially viable) and reduces energy usage, which in turn reduces fossil fuel usage.

I've been using wine for well over a decade and I was not aware of it. I'm not so confident that your characterization here is accurate.

Everyone I know that uses wine just follows some youtube video to get some game working on linux. They don't spend a lot of time learning about the ecosystem.
reflink is implemented on Oracle Solaris; how it works internally I don't think Oracle has ever commented, since implementing post-facto dedup on a filesystem that assumes data once written is unmodified is a bit Spicy(tm) - you can look at the BRT talk from the OpenZFS dev summit or other talks about it at the leadership meetings to get some idea why it's so exciting.

“Venture scale” scales with the percentage VC makes up of its LPs portfolios, and scales with the amount of money in circulation.
We don't use ZFS as a filesystem, we use it to aggregate multiple EBS into a single pool, and present it to... stock Ubuntu (one found in AWS marketplace) as a single big block device.

We also use ZFS for testing of our own block device. My biggest problems with it are related to this activity. Hot-plugging or removing block devices from the pool often leads to unrepeatable pool, and the tests have to be scrambled because the whole system needs to be rebooted.
So what should we use between native wine, lutris etc ...?
It's colloquial knowledge at this point that companies suck as much from consumers as possible, just look at the "inflation" narrative. Company had to raise prices due to "supply chain constraints/inflation" but then goes on to report record revenue. To an extent it's just supply and demand, and I want to respect that, but most of these same companies got government handouts from PPP while the everyday consumer has to choose between one $10/month subscription service or another. Fuck. How about charge me money, don't put in ads, but charge enough that you make money, it's just not hand-over-fist because you've created a monopoly?
So you're saying that at SpaceX or Tesla people don't work on any of those things (requirements gathering, clients acceptance testing, QA, integration testing, certifications, regulatory frameworks) and they just happily code away?

I very much doubt that's the case.

In fact, there is one! But it is somehow, hidden. In the front page scroll to the bottom and you will find some footnotes in the form of links, click the “lists” item and it will take you to another page, choose the second item “pool” and you are there!

I would expect more solid proofs for such claim. Circumstantial evidences at most. I can think in other possible explanations.
Being taller (for a man) gives you a bigger selection of possible mates. (I'm not complaining. I'm short, but have had a very satisfying love life.)

TextBundle Specification
My advice would be to use github and github pages. It uses jekyll by default which is good enough for static website. It's easy to add domain. You can use HTML or Markdown and you don't need to write anything. I read jekyll starting guide and didn't do anything else, it was enough for everything I wanted to implement.

I also use cloudflare for caching, but that's more because I wanted to tinker with it. Surely GitHub can withstand personal blog.
Outside of SV and a few other zones around the world, most people just want to have a half decent business I suspect.

For me, living in an obscure part of Australia, I’m happy with a business that means I don’t have to commute and work in someone else’s office!

I’ve done big tech and run my own shop with staff and offices, and now I’m very happy working from home and seeing my family more often!

More Money would be nice though
It boggles my mind how technology has been advancing consistently through time until the last few years. Now we have feature flags in databases dictate whether we can use technology. There's no reason to block YouTube videos from playing when my screen is off, except to get more money out of people.
You could craft that same type of argument about literally thousands of technical challenges from 200 years ago that are now thoroughly solved. Is this one super extra special?
Fairly certain I played Dominos 2 back when it was in the yoyogames competition. Nice to see a little blast from the past! Makes me want to go dig my Game Maker games out of the pile of hard drives in my parents' basement.
Hey there, I'm an individual dev who uses it only for personal projects. I use the docker container for on-premise, private usage only in a VM with no internet connection that I run at home. I use it to index all my personal projects and open source repos... 100 or so repos.

I really wish the enterprise stuff was available to the single user case like mine. Everything past v4.3.1 is hot garbage, as you guys really nerfed it for non-enterprise users ever since you removed "showEnterpriseHomePanels" among a few other things. I regrettably can't upgrade to anything newer because of that.

I would LOVE to have the ability to pay you guys say, $100 a year or something reasonable for just a private onsite enterprise license for one person -- myself. I continue to advocate for your products in all the enterprise contracts I work as that's what I'm most familiar with and tinker with when I work on my own personal stuff on my own free time.

I think it would be great to just have all those features for one user, and for a reasonable yearly fee for a single developer to be able to afford.

If you guys are concerned about being ripped off -- For example, some company buying this "single user enterprise license", I don't think they would if you limit it to one admin user. No company is going to risk sharing creds for a superuser account / keys to the kingdom, and if they do, they are some fly-by-night company with no sense of security that was never going to give you guys money anyway.

That's my two cents.

tl;dr: I can care less if it's open source or not. I just care that enterprise is affordable to the home user and that I can still run it on premise and in a semi-airgapped network environment.
And that's ok! It's much easier to build a business worth $10-100M and get it to liquidity than it is to do the same for one worth >$1B. But if you don't take venture funding, your personal stake will likely still be worth life-changing money.
> how can you claim this with a straight face (in terms of low variance)?

Because I’ve been following tech salaries for 10+ years. If you can’t retire early (before 65) after making 150k+/year for 20+ years, you’re rather living way beyond your means or have very high expectations for what a normal person retirement looks like.

edit: or I guess in America it means you had a medical scare or two that burned all your money. But that’s not a problem anywhere else and has little to do with the maths behind savings. Tech incomes come with decent insurance at least
An orthogonally rotational invariant watermark would cover 90%+ of real world image transforms - think flips, mirrors, and 90 degree rotations - and would probably be much easier to create.
Apple’s M1 Ultra GPU Comparison with Nvidia Was Misleading
Which makes it stateful, but instead of a punch of systems pulling your revocation list you're pushing it.
Hardcoding a check for whether the domain is a particular fixed string is trivial. Any competent technical organisation can do that in less than a day. Yes it wouldn't be principled or elegant, but it would work.

Currently LE looks like neutral infrastructure that would never do such a thing. But so did CloudFlare, right up until the point where they suddenly weren't.
n.b. I am not pjd, this is from memory and may be wrong.

The answer to that is messy, but basically, there's a table that should be kept in memory for "is there anything reflinked at all in this logical range on disk", and that covers large spans, so how many entries would depend on how contiguous your data logically was on disk; the actual precise mapping list per-vdev doesn't need to be kept continuously in memory, just the more coarse table, so that saves you a fair bit on memory requirements.
I find that "the news" is what is creating those bubbles. The more you read the nytimes, or watch fox, the more you lock into that particular bubble mindset.
MrBruh.com

Only one article, but I'm looking to expand upon that
Most such blogs are that way--not telling you everything to reproduce what they did--but I did this for 23 years. I never used a framework of any kind. I rarely used someone else's code unless I had to. I had to use npm cause the credit card service required it. I didn't build our own server software. I did use my operating system's builtins.

And I can guarantee that at some point, most of you have visited one of two web sites I created. (My company created far more than that.)

It wasn't hard to do what I did. I'm a programmer, damn it. And I hired programmers to do the same thing. None of them struggled with it.
I'm going to be so mad if I get crushed by one of these things
> Maybe I'm just too millennial, but that doesn't sound like too short a timeframe in an industry that moves and changes as quickly as the tech world does.

It is a problem when the industries that depend on your work operate on much longer timescales. Not to mention, the degradation of service in the search for increased profits happens during that 9-11 years.
A ten-year horizon is extremely short-term. It doesn't have anything to do with generations.

> 11 years smartphone penetration was a tiny fraction of what it is today.

Right, and I'd say we were better off then than now, and I believe science backs that up. Education, intelligence (literally brain and cognitive development), mental health, emotional health, community, time, and more have all suffered at the hands of smartphones. And that's what I'm getting at. Chasing capital value at the expense of everything else is short-term and short-sighted thinking.

I started with CVS, and it made complete sense to me. Git isn't bad, but it's what I use these days.

For some reason, I never grokked svn. Something about the use of directories as versions always threw me for a loop. Maybe if I spent the time to really learn it I'd like it, but that isn't likely to happen these days.
Couldn't agree more.

I don't use social media because I think it's a net negative in my life. However YouTube I've always justified by following lots of educational content. I've learned a lot of cool things and gained new hobbies just by watching YouTube. One day, leather-working videos popped up on my feed. Soon I was making my own stuff with leather - it was a heap of fun!

I've noticed over the past few years though, that no matter how much I try to tweak the algorithm, I'm just getting mindless junk. And shorts are the worst of it! They're deliberately designed to hook you in, so they're very hard to ignore.

And so YouTube, I have to admit, has become a net negative. Another place for mindless dopamine hits, zombifying us all. I'm so sad about it!

10V swing for 0.5 seconds (500 milliseconds) across 300 Amps is... a 1500 Farad capacitor. (not uF. Big F, full size Farad. Lol)

Methinks that won't work, lol. The numbers discussed are pretty insane, to be expected of a car-sized load / amperage.

-----------

What they need is a well designed power-network (Pi-network? Capacitor-Inductor-Capacitor-inductor-Capacitor) to isolate the microcontrollers + analog pedal reader from the rest of the car.

PDF was spitballing ideas for a software-only detection of this brownout condition. But I don't like that, any uC / analog sensor circuit that has 10V swings on a 12V nominal circuit is just going to go haywire in unpredictable ways. I'm frankly surprised that the uC is still sending CANbus messages on the pedal state despite the 12V supply voltage swinging down to 2V. I guess TI and STM32 chips / ADCs have enough stray capacitance / local capacitors to survive even when the sensor network/analog circuitry is browning out in Teslas.
I wish they had a repository of common softwares.
No it isnt.
And to be clear this is literally what happened to Netflix and I think YouTube and a few other sites in the pre-Net Neutrality days. Of course we don't have Net Neutrality anymore either, so presumably Google is paying ISPs not to throttle, or ISPs are content with the 1TB/month cap they tend to have.

Also, that 1TB/month cap is just foot-in-the-door technique. It will stay 1TB or so as videos, games, websites, etc. continue to get larger and larger and then they will lean on Appeal to Tradition (logical fallacy) when people complain that 1TB/month isn't adequate.
I think the ultimate solution is to get to the point where everything is very cheap. With AI and robotics, maybe this will be possible. Then wealth doesn't matter that much - everyone could be relatively much wealthier than they are today. Truly scarce things will only be for the rich. Who cares, let them have their gold and premium real estate.
The flip side of this is that if your idea is not able to scale... it might not be worth doing.

Let's say the market of your idea is $100M/year, and in a best case scenario you can get $10M/year... that might not be a lot, especially if you consider all the costs and risks of business.

Worse, is that the smaller the market, likely the harder the business to run. You end up spending more resources, to gain less customers.

There's a lot of value in trying to understand market size, before in eating time and effort into a venture - regardless of venture capital.

> In reality, "open source is a broad software license that makes source code available to the general public with relaxed or non-existent restrictions on the use and modification of the code."

Not to the general public, only to the users doesn't have to be generally available to the public, see recent RHEL PR debacle.
It's not about the restrictions it's about what you are allowed to do with the code.

> ... Which is the definition the majority of developers would say is open source.

Can you prove your claim has anyone done demographics on this?
It sounds like you've already been brainwashed by the corporatocracy.

FWIW, I've been using the Fediverse as my primary social media for ~a year, and I've not experienced these technical/social issues being described.

Cheers, I'll check back tomorrow as I needed to get back to work. Glad you found the commentary interesting, if perhaps not overly useful. I've got a thesis paper coming up and this might have given me some research as well. I'm glad the discussion is beneficial rather than just another internet forum argument.

After another re-read some additional concepts popped up:

1) If Indonesian suppliers are presumably lower on the cost curve, deep sea mining will tend to displace (or prevent scale) from terrestrial suppliers outside Indonesia. Another poster ironically called this out: "why not do both [deep sea and deforestation damage]" -- this is almost precisely what would be expected to occur. The ecological footprint of an underground nickel mine is vanishingly small compared to the Indonesian method.

2) The word "may" is used in the title, but it's not present in the sub-title. The article boldly claims 30x life destruction as fact, but I remain curious if this is more than an invented ratio of convenience/novelty. To attempt a direct comparison, protect species legislation does not factor in the mass of the animals being protected. I concede in advance that humanity is historically terrible at caring about damage to life that does not directly inconvenience us, but our understanding of linked systems and the relevance of panarchy is slowly shifting that.

3) Dr. Glover is asked about the diversity of life on the ocean floor, but not about what they and their peers thought about the benefits / risks of deep sea mining. This feels convenient, particularly given Dr. Glover's research found that numerous organisms live on the nodules themselves. The article talks about dust plumes, but neglects to mention the more direct destruction of habitat. Likewise, no mention is made of the potential use of the zone as a feeding ground for whales being researched by Dr. Glover's peers.

Unfortunately I can't share my own details as mining is a very small industry -- I'm probably identifiable from even what I've shared. Having said that, I might reach out in a professional context down the line!
I think his perspective is a bit more nuanced than this; the complaint is with "real-time" news (somewhere on his blog, Aaron wrote about how he preferred to read post-event summaries in the New Yorker rather than being up-to-date every day).

That certainly could be a concern. You are right, it’s important to review the code written by LLMs.

Did you look at the PR?

I reviewed it before submitting it. While I would have struggled to write it myself, I was able to review it and conclude that it was sensible and unlikely to be risky.

Of course it could have bugs that I missed. But so could any code I write myself in any language.
They aren't missing anything either. Subconciously I thought that I needed to stay on top of things like the news, how the stock market is doing, whatever the latest tech hardware releases are, etc. but now, most of the time I forget those are even things.

I watched a lot of the History Channel, TLC and Discovery Channel growing up. I've seen all manner of documentary about all manner of thing. I'd say plop your kids in front of that every now and then, but these days it's just Pawn Stars and Hoarders and Deadliest Catch.

No, they say “I saw that he had a weapon”, even if the reality is that some other cop said it.

That's not what the involved cops say, that’s what the department’s public affairs office says as a lead paragraph summary to discourage engagement with the details. (The details will then be whatever story the cops involved say.)
