> Virtually nothing I'm interested in watching is ever on Crunchyroll

Curiously, Crunchyroll had virtually everything that we wanted to fansub back then. Their licensing coverage was sufficiently wide that a lot of us just stopped fansubbing, because everything had been "crunchyrolled".
What did the support say about it? Did you get a replacement / refund?
Here's the problem:

> It doesn’t affect ownership. After the away team finishes its changes, the service ownership remains with the host teams. The away team model also reflects how Amazon weakly assigns code ownership to service teams.

The article quotes Martin Fowler to back this up:

> Weak code ownership: Developers are allowed to change modules owned by other people. Module owners are expected to take responsibility for the modules they own and keep an eye on changes made by other people.

However, this quote seems taken out of context. It is about individual developers making changes. When you have an entire team doing this for (months?) at a time, can maintainers really keep up with the changes and support them in perpetuity in addition to their other responsibilities?
Ask NH: Gather the best dev content (YouTube chans, podcast, blogs)
Hi everyone, I'm trying to gather the best dev youtube channels, podcasts, blogs, from all around the world, then classify it so that we can all discover/share to learn.
It's mostly a joke on that basis, but I am a little skeptical that the well-known CO2 experiments will apply on average across the globe without being counteracted in part or whole by the temperature & growing season impacts.

In our current breadbaskets plants are going to be losing a chunk of the day in the middle of the growing season when it is too hot to photosynthesize on a regular basis, and the tradeoffs of what land is desertified and what land is defrosted is unlikely to be a net gain. The gains from increased CO2 are starting from in a hole and I'm not expecting to break even, let alone see faster or greater biomass on average, let alone at the rate we see in experiments using our current climate and future CO2 levels.
It means if you try to apply a free market system to a place without law and order, you'll have about as much of a mess as you started with. So the first step is to enforce governance.

True, but it's also true that average cost of living in California is quite high, brought up by insane CoL along the coast.
It's easier than ever to build a PC yourself. I built my first PC around 1988 and today's PCs are a dream in comparison.

One of the primary areas of advancement is PC cases - they are so well engineered now that just a few screws and everything is assembled in minutes. And everything lines up like it was made to go together.

On top of improved designs, there are YouTube videos today which didn't exist in the 80s and 90s.

IMO it's never been easier to get into so I can't see any reason not to build your own PC. It's very rewarding, though not necessarily an economic advantage verses pre-built.

The absolute best deal on a PC is probably a lightly used, name brand system from ebay. But you don't learn nearly as much with that option.
I mostly agree with you, but often, especially with greenfield projects and features, the implementation details are not clear until someone spends the time to dig into the codebase, and deliver a proof-of-concept. This can then drive the design discussion to get everyone on the same page. And even then, the design might need to be changed if it happens that some things weren't taken into consideration, or new specs are communicated and priorities change.

It's also worth not spending too much time on creating the perfect design upfront, since it might change during development. The whole waterfall vs. agile situation. An initial proposal document helps with avoiding lengthy discussions and friction during code reviews, but it also takes a lot of effort to produce, and even then, reviews can be difficult for many reasons.

> I don't know if it's actually confusion about what matters, or if it's a desire to make people jump through hoops, or maybe boredom?

My theory is that sometimes it's a need to say _something_ to prove that you've read the code. Also, egos are often involved, and some reviewers have the need to demonstrate their superior intellect/knowledge/whatever by insisting on minutia. Software engineers are often proud and take code reviews as a chance to flaunt their intellect, while at the same time being defensive of their opinions, and argumentative to the point of arrogance. Few senior engineers are humble, and consider code reviews as a collaborative effort to deliver the best possible solution.
I strongly disagree that these are the only 2 possible explanations. The first is clearly not true — these second order effects are well known and often discussed, and the fact that sanctions are used in circumstances when the population is not expected to revolt shows that the second one isn’t the only remaining reason to use sanctions.
Mach 1.4 is a bit underwhelming.
Unfortunately, variable naming is one of the most important parts of writing software.
If you mean traditional enums, called unions in Typescript and represented by the pipe symbol, then nothing. But if you mean the named Enum keyword in Typescript, then the problem is that they emit runtime code and aren't type safe.
It’s not the only time, the way string slicing worked also broke a lot of performance grantees.

Yes, agree, and this dovetails with a sibling comment by a long-time teacher. I have a child in the US and have family close in age and demographics in non-US countries. The pressure of school-as-childcare is unique to me in the US because of the amount of paid time off I get, which is substantially less than my peers in Europe. In addition, the financial pressures of childcare and education in the US are quite different than Europe. I certainly earn more money in the US than I would in Europe in the same job, but the logistics of arranging childcare and the pressure of teaching my child both math and English outside of school, despite 7+ hours of school a day, are not insubstantial. As has come up elsewhere in these discussions (on HN and in the article), 15 minutes a day of worksheets has done wonders. While I appreciate what Kid has learned in school, and very much appreciate that Kid's classmates get a nutritional baseline no matter what, it is striking that I must provide this additional instruction and practice. It's this very out-of-school intervention that leads to the inequality of outcomes I so clearly see at the school my child is departing -- one in which the kids with college prof parents score top in the state and kids whose parents are English-language learners or work several (non-adjunct-instructor) jobs score in the 30th percentile. (The kids of all the PhDs, whether well-compensated or not, do fine academically.)

Dumbing down the standards doesn't help anyone. I actually like the idea of a data science class, seems like a great motivation/way to teach algebra, but the way it's being operationally proposed in the CMF does not help. And back to my observation about the worksheets above, “This pathway leaves students unprepared for quantitative four-year college degrees via a newly proposed pathway for teaching mathematics that lacks essential content." “Instead of reducing the gap, the CMF proposal will worsen disparities as students from affluent families will access private instruction and tutors while under-resourced students will be left behind.” -- Dr. Jelani Nelson, absolutely correct.

For interesting discussion of the shoddy research underlying many of the citations in the CMF, see Mike Lawler's Twitter threads (username mikeandallie).

>> Pascal had its time but I don't think there is much reason to use it now, outside of pure curiosity or wanting to try a historical language.

I use Pascal only for side job/hobby, not for daily work. Lazarus+FPC is still my #1 choice for desktop app (is this still a "thing" in 2023?). No Electron, no JVM etc etc.

For writing web/server/backend stuffs, kinda hard to argue with Go.
Do you look back over these notes and find them useful? Perhaps it's my ADD or the
nature of the software products I create, but for the past 20 years of my career, I've never kept significant notes and never found myself missing them. I'm wondering if there's something I don't know that I don't know here.
You certainly don’t need - I know and have worked with many successful people who don’t have any sort of meaningful (beyond grocery list type) notes or externally-stored knowledge of any kind.

This feels like a comment without substance and in a way, it is. But I think it’s important to push back on this idea that if you aren’t managing a Second Brain while you’re GTD’ing a side project and Tools for Thought-ing your way through the western canon you’re wasting your life.

It works everywhere in the private sector.

Having a base salary plus incentive pay for meeting objective goals is commonplace. Companies wouldn't do that if it didn't work. In my own company, Zortech, the staff was paid a base rate plus a cut of the gross sales for the month.

> it would almost certainly result in teachers focusing all of their efforts on the best students and none of it on those who are struggling

Actually the reverse would happen. The best students would automatically attain grade level performance, and likely exceed it. They'll already get the bonus for those students without any effort. The gold is in getting the underachievers to achieve.
I'd gone poking around on The Site That Is On Strike recently and discovered that both /r/pocket and /r/getpocket are either on strike or had been closed by admins, it's not clear which.

Nothing like the subtle bigotry of lower expectations - the best way to keep "those people" in the underclass is to lower the standards.

This problem is mitigated if we assume competent engineering teams on both sides - the away team shouldn’t merge code without proper review of the code by the owner, for one, and the away team should go above and beyond in being diligent about code quality, QA and understanding the codebase to the core before changing it. Thus the away team(s) should consist of the best engineers in the org. That’s my read anyway.

So the closer countries are to Russia - the less likely they are to indulge in the moral luxury of signing the CCM. And Greece and Türkiye have each opted out because, well, the other has, so they must also. Makes sense in a way.

You’re arguing against the principle of private property. People should be allowed to own things. That’s the most fundamental right humans have. Tech and “innovations” in what counts as consent and an “agreement” have taken that away for most of our most important “purchases”

I've forgotten almost everything about Perl, but one thing I dimly remember is that for just about anything exceeding your one-liner/dirty one-off script (outgrow bash??) you'd use some library anyway, even for purposes like this. Just to make it sane. In other words it came down to more or less what you do in Python post Y2K: run(['blah'], ...) Not necessarily shorter (how?), probably not better (how?), certainly not safer (nope!) and "even" to reproduce everything subprocess can do these days I think you'd rather needed 3 or 4 imports, minimum, and remember this is Perl. So we're not talking standard library. Off to CPAN you were. Not all was great, even in heyday, and eventually people jumped ship for reasons, different reasons. Still, Perl deserved better than a bizarre zombie afterlife or undead pseudo-existence hinging on hardly more than worn out UNIX yarn. Funny how no one ever recalls tcl? Such is true rest. Such is nirvana. Yet tcl got that actual object system that never arrived for Perl. Tcl could do threads when Perl hardly knew there's such a thing! Oh and yes, tcl shipped its own GUI on top, consider that, vanilla Python even comes with it today I think. That's a way to go.
I don't think that would make a difference.

Incentives are whack across the board in education.

At every level, hiring and purchasing are done on the basis of political loyalty, rather than competence or fitness-for-purpose. An entire cathedral has been built upon patronage, and that cathedral will fight quite literally to the death rather than reform itself.

We're just now approaching the end-stage of what that looks like in-practice.

You can't get a promotion in the bureaucracy if you just "do things well". You must "innovate" and start an "initiative". Administrators also get a pay bump for completing degrees like a master's and a PhD, right? so you have to do something that pleases the advisory committee to get your pay bump. Individual incentives are really misaligned with helping kids learn math best.
there is a perfectly clear explanation in the paper
This. PHP was my first "real" programming language (which is a bit scary now that I think about it since it followed me learning QBasic and VB6) and by the time I was messing with it for web dev circa 2003 CGI scripts were on their way out. I suspect that it had something to do with CPanel/WHM-based shared hosting setups being reticent to deal with something as powerful as CGI and preferring to just run PHP in Safe Mode. I could be wrong though as I was also a technically-ignorant punk that fixed phpBB installer filesystem permission issues by 777'ing everything in my hosting directory :-). Good times...
> I really don't get this kind of straw-man complaint.

I didn't make a straw man complaint. Also straw man isn't a complaint. It's a fallacious form of argument.

> Do you think people care about average temperature of the world during the Paleoproterozoic?

You completely missed my point. I don't know if it is intentional or not. Maybe this is a language issue?

> It's like hearing someone saying "Residents scramble as snowfall on Boston breaks record" and then complaining "The entire Boston area was under a mile of ice once!" Yes, we know, and that's not we're talking about.

No. It's like saying 'Boston in uncharted history as Boston breaks snowfall record since last winter'.
Don’t you think this is already happening for most AAA production tech? Most high performance real-time stuff does go top-down. Mid-core stuff or art tooling might be fine with bgfx (or this I guess).
I think some combination of a subscription and source escrow would be ideal here: if the service goes under, some third-party releases the source to subscribed customers.

Pocket could have been much more; it should be something between [omnivore.app](https://omnivore.app/) and Evernote's scrap-booking feature and then it would be immensely useful and bring people to Firefox. In its current form, it's a fancy bookmark maker that I don't ever use.
Having used it only for my small typefaster.app project and a couple other small unpublished projects I can’t speak to great detail on advantages or disadvantages; I am not a CSS expert. From my limited experience, I found it’s far more convenient and intuitive than any CSS library I’ve used.

It’s concise; writing css directly in my html and not feeling like I’m cluttering the file makes readability great.

Debugging styling in SPAs is significantly easier since I can just glance at the DOM in the browser dev tools and be able to quickly find the CSS causing the styling issue (just looking through the HTML tree, not having to look through styling tool saves time)

DaisyUI is a library built on top of it; a lot of great snippets of styles elements there.

The config file; all custom configs are concise in one file.

It makes things like conditional styling or just if you have any state determining styling, it is very easy to do and readable

But in summary, honestly for me it’s just the direct in-html styling and conciseness. I’m a simple man

This model only works if the away teams are the most competent people you have. Generally the “loaning” business is a cowardly way for teams to trade the worst engineers you have (bonus point if that engineer is someone who everyone praises but is secretly shit and only the manager knows that reality).
Hence the vehement opposition to the idea, sadly.

> What's wrong with enums?

They don't compile down to just the same code with the type annotations and definitions removed, which is often considered to be the ideal that typescript should follow. Instead, they compile down to some more complicated blob of javascript. People critique and avoid typescript's namespaces for the same reason.

> Enum types in general are very useful.

You can use unions for the same purpose without the aforementioned drawback, and unions have other benefits which typescript's enums don't offer, like support for more complex data types, which makes unions closer to set of features more modern languages tend to offer via enums, while making enums closer to the barebones enums found in languages like C and C++ (effectively just a set of named constants enclosed into a type).
Have you done research on historical precedents for this work? What comes to mind are great works like cathedrals or projects that like the Great Wall of china which was on again / off again over millennia centuries.

In science fiction there’s very long term projects such as in Dune or Foundation which the authors put a great deal of thought into.
> Suggesting that war, presumably the invasion of Ukraine, is in any way, shape or form, comparable to leisure travel, is absurd.

It's not comparable at all. The ukraine war is infinitely worse for the environment.

> That said, I would be really interested in hearing you make your case that people should just accept invasion “for the environment” or they can’t care at all about any other environmental issues.

We accepted the invasions of iraq, afghanistan, et al. What's another invasion amongst friends? Gotta save the environment right?

I think that could work but you would need to give teachers more control over the discipline and syllabus in their classrooms.

If you can't maintain order and can't adapt your teaching to meet the needs of your students, there's limits to what can be achieved.

1980s awk and sed aren't the same as the 2020s version.

They've become much more useful because of the influence of things like perl.

To see what I mean, here's SunOS 4.1.1's man page for awk and sed as grabbed from https://github.com/ambiamber/Run-Sun3-SunOS-4.1.1/blob/main/... and ran through groffer(1) . These are from 1989 and 1987 respectively. The core stuff is there but not much else.
