I think that's a little unfair given what was in the postmortem. It may not be a separate section with the key points, but the information is all there of what the issues were and what the solutions are. I think it's fair to assume they're actually acting on those without them needing to be reiterated at the bottom of the page.

There’s good evidence against that. All the easily mineable resources that a civilization needs to build more advanced technology will be used up by the first civilization. I’ve heard it said that if we destroy our current technology there will be no way to rebuild it because there’s no way to mine the resources to build it back up.
Great job guys! Well done!
That if there was zero other options that offer encrypted backups, but other software offers that too. Many also offer deduplication. And deduplication is less of a needed feature if you dont pay thru the nose for GB
There is nothing “progressive” about apostates raving against the belief system they left behind. It demonstrates a lack of maturity, imo. True progressive thought is constructive and positive. Burning scripture, dipping religious symbols in piss, making porn with performers in religious garb, these are all destructive and negative and never a manifestation of progress, enlightenment, or spiritual progress. There is also nothing courageous for someone performing in front of an SNL audience dumping on the Catholic Church and it’s Papa.

I hope Sinead rests in Salaam. And I’d rather remember her for her God given graces, her beauty, her voice and her support for justice for oppressed, than what was clearly an error (certainly according to Islam, even in its “Sufi” modality) on her part.

Watched this doc on Baldassare Forestiere recently.

Amazing. He dug out acres and acres over his life in Fresno. Was raised as a fruit tree grower in Italy, and has fruit trees growing from down in the caves he made through to the special sky lights

I can't see why they'd skip replication given the uncertain status of the original process. They'd try to replicate as closely as possible, confirm they have a superconducting material, then they'd branch out from their established process. Starting from a variation means they don't know whether it doesn't work because of the variation or because it doesn't work at all.
Having those things at the base layer is not the same as having them in higher-level behaviour. This is why God invented SQL transactions.

I've been using mmm.page to manage a tiny landing page for awhile, I really like its flexibility and ease of use.

It is something I would definitely look into paying for in the future if the site needs to grow into something bigger, or for other projects I want to do.
I've built something similar with a focus on returning structured data from the Agent and making it simple to expose an Agent as an OpenAPI. If that sounds interesting, I've wrote up some details here: https://wundergraph.com/blog/beyond_functions_seamlessly_bui...
Maybe the US is spending so much in defence in it's own interests? Maybe that's how US can enforce business benefits like copyrights to the American corporations and business decisions on what other countries can invest into? Maybe that's why US can print USD at will but other countries have to earn it?

But I like the Linus argument, however this complicates things further: Are tech becoming European when the tech CEO's are having a vacation in the French riviera?
> having to reimplement all the consistency, atomicity, transactions etc. on top.

Most of those problems are moot if you're only ever writing from a single head node. If all your data is strictly ordered and you have no meaningful concurrency, this is a far, far simpler system.
as a manager type, I wish my engineers were more broadly aware of REPL style development and the massive productivity boost it can have for certain kinds of development. I am used to doing a lot of ruby/python/js in REPL, but the idea of a sort of "break into a repl and implement the missing function and continue" sounds really nifty.
I use the word "sell" to imply that someone invested $100k in the business in exchange for 20% equity.

I read the announcement on VentureBeat, and I am not sure what they are trying to do.

>Integrating AI with code development is something that Microsoft has been doing for several years with its Github Copilot technology. Chandrasekar said that Overflow AI is not an attempt to replace Github Copilot, but rather to just provide more information resources to developers and the organizations they work for.

>“We’re certainly not looking to replace GitHub copilot, we’re very complementary to what you’re actually going to do writing code,” he said. “You need a really solid foundation on Stack Overflow for Teams to give accurate, validated and curated information.”

I really do not understand what that means.

EDIT at time of writing, link pointed to a Youtube video, now it's a text announcement, so I am gonna go read that.
Most large corporations block ChatGPT and Discord usage. Developers at those companies still have access to SO.

> The researchers used mass spectrometry carbon-dating to analyze trace amounts of twine discovered alongside three of the beads and date the artifacts’ creation to between roughly 1397 and 1488.

> When the archaeologists realized how old the beads were, “[w]e almost fell over backwards,” says Kunz in statement. “It came back saying [the plant was alive at] some time during the 1400s. It was like, Wow!”

> If confirmed, the scientists’ discovery would indicate that Indigenous North Americans trading in northern Alaska wore European jewelry decades before Christopher Columbus’ 1492 landing in the Bahamas.

Can I be skeptical for a moment? Even if the carbon dating is accurate (I go back and forth between "amazing what a bit of twine can tell us" and "can a bit of twine really tell us that"), wouldn't it also be possible that the thing wasn't made until 1488 and hung around in Europe for awhile before making its way over? Could it have been an antiquity that was brought by Russian fur traders?

I know this has "just asking questions" vibes, but I think my point is just that, even though the language in the article appropriately hedged, we probably have a tendency to not read it that way.
> If I can be fooled by a peer, or even by someone whom I thought had a weaker position than mine, that takes me down a peg. The fear of that social demotion helps explain a common tendency that people have to guard against exploitation by outsiders and strivers more vigilantly than exploitation by those with the power to do real harm.

Wow, I never thought of it that way, but it explains a lot.
There is text under the table.
Good for developing ideas that you can add small code fragments gradually and see results immediately. And if it gets big enough, chances are that you have a good idea that makes it worth the time to refactor your notebook into production code.
Shittier – Embrace the Chaos
The more senior you get, the more you’re expected to be able to manage your workload.

The important part about managing your workload is communicating what can and cannot be done. If you have more work than can be done in the time allowed, it’s up to high to explain this to others and propose solutions. In your case it looks like you need to go to your boss and propose offloading or pausing certain tasks.

Learn how to explain that there are more tasks than bandwidth available. Learn how to push for prioritization of tasks rather than letting everything be equally important.

> But if you're a long-time caffeine consumer your baseline (no caffeine alertness) goes down, and in the long run coffee just brings you up to the same level non-consumers have for free

Citation? It sounds a lot like that's something that you find convenient to believe, perhaps because you gave up coffee and you want to tell yourself you did something good for yourself.

Desperate voters would rubber stamp anything.
In my opinion, there’s certainly a GCE here, but the title was not the first thing that came to my mind.
This can be a really dangerous approach though. Appeals to authority can easily turn dark if the wrong authority is in charge, and by then the people have been conditioned to blindly follow them.

People should never be expected to make meaningful decisions in their life only because someone with degrees said it's best for them, or even worse make no decision because the leader already made it for them. People need to be able to think for themselves and make their own decisions, even if the few experts may disagree with the decisions made.

In my opinion, this should have been the most important lesson from three years of pandemic response. We had a small group of experts getting out over their skis and speaking with certainty about the virus and what everyone must do. In reality these experts had much less research-based data to support this level of confidence, and in some cases the data even contradicted them. In the meantime we were all forced or coerced into various decisions and protocols that didn't seem to pan out, for a virus that we once got kicked off social media platforms for comparing to the cold or flu while that's precisely how said experts discuss it today.

Experts should absolutely weigh in and attempt to educate people on what's at stake and why they should make one decision of another. But a system in which a few at the top decide for and control the rest of the population is extremely dangerous and should be reserved for only the absolutely most important situations.
I have coworkers who only use 2 of chromes debugging tools: the console and the network tab. They dont know about breakpoints, mapped typescript/react files, or local overrides. Every time they come to me with some issue they're facing, I have them set up breakpoints first before we do anything. Usually that's all that we need to do, and we figure out the problem in about 5mins
If push comes to shove I would play ball and enjoy it, even if undesirable. I would like to say that I suggested OP should speak with Github support before court however people skipped that part because my comment mainly talked about the sueing aspect in deeper detail.

OP should talk to support and get Github communicate with the public more clearly through their policy/terms of service about forcing username changes with or without consent.
I clicked the "Code" button and it says "requires an upgrade to Plus." That made me sad. Also, I couldn't figure out how to rotate stuff... one of the images was rotated but I can't find the tool for it. That's actually what made me click "code".

I know this isn't supposed to be a finished product.

I think the pushback against Voter ID laws is ridiculous, but not allowing the disenfranchised to use a computer is ridiculously dystopian.
Businesses were based off of it when it was completely illegal at all levels too, they just couldn't be as public about it. These businesses are still limited quite heavily by the lack of federal legalization, and in more ways than just payment processing.
No sourcable information on it. More so just experience and mumblings around Tumblr since I've been on there since 2011.
It's not really a dream, you can indeed get those jobs.

If a company has those jobs, it means their managers/leadership are doing the exact same lazy job, so you are in good company.

An alternative is simply to be good at your job and get your work done and have spare time. If you want behaviors to change in this situation, businesses need to give better direct incentives for finishing work early. Right now, the reward for getting your work done quickly is more work.
> notice that while there was an outage, part of the reason for it taking a while was a conscious choice to take a much longer path to resolution than bringing up the previous server in the name of paranoia. Paranoia about data corruption is a nice thing to have in a backup system and something I'm happily willing to trade-off uptime for.

As Actual Serious Sysadmin that Actually Manages Big Systems for Living that screams more lack of preparation than anything else.

Yes you should be careful but you should also have procedures in place and know the system well enough to trust it. And the fact is that the "boring" architecture of RDS DB instead of that S3 database abomination thing would just start right up if master DB server failed.

It honestly looks like a trap many intelligent people fall into where they turn their cool-but-ulimately-flawed mental excercise into bedrock of the product. I don't want to use baby's-first-database on my production servers (I'm looking at you Lennart Poettering and journald) and I don't want my data/metadata stored on some experimental one.
It's theoretically possible, but for a year of my life, for example, I didn't have a residence and moved around. Lots of people do that to optimize their taxes. Why would you require to be a resident from a person to use an internet in the first place?

Being nobody's resident doesn't mean that you're not a human.

And anyway, there are a lot of people inside Russia, China, Iran, etc. And instead of helping them to use services with better privacy and consume uncensored views from outside id based system will give an impressive way to censor internet usage by government attesters. Have wrong views - say goodbye to the internet.

How tarsnap keeps backups readonly ? Just having service being a barrier is not enough
>Thats why we have regulators and other institutions that should be informed and give an informed crap

Yes, but unlike say construction, the environment, or medicine, when it comes to IT, most of our gov representatives in charge of regulations are horribly out of touch with what's happening in tech world and how fast things are changing.

Just look st the senate hearings of Zuckerberg and the TikTok CEO, what questions they were getting: "can TikTok access my Wi-Fi?". I rest my case.

They have no clue how the whole "internet-thingamajigs" work, nor do they care to listen to people who actually do know, because they can also be easily lobbied by big-tech to look the other way, especially since for the US-government, having US companies dominate everything IT related on a global scale is a national-security asset rather than a curse, which could be say if Chinese companies were to take over instead.
Go at Google: Language Design in the Service of Software Engineering by Rob Pike
There are people outside of the USA. Quite a few.
They are trying to remain relevant with the latest tech buzzwords. I think what we're seeing is a lot of companies jumping on the hype curve for AI similar to when there were a lot of ICO's during the hype cycle of crypto. I'm not comparing AI to crypto as technologies or anything, just the hype cycles.

Did I fall into a timewarp into the 70's? How on Earth, by what sane standard, is a Postgres instance too complex? If you're `fopen`ing files as a "database" you are wasting your time and lowering the world's economic productivity.

Complex is Greenspunning a database and having it blow up in your face and cause a twenty-six hour outage. You never hear about such things with Postgres because Postgres is rock-solid.

I feel the same as an old school PHP dipping into JS land occasionally. Lots of problems were solved, but of course somebody needed to create a fancy new “framework” and a new solution. Stuff like “static site generation” dont need over 300 new and different frameworks to solve it but i guess thats just engineering. We like to do it ourselves instead of “trusting” the old farts.
Some of my colleagues were already complaining that the government is forcing them to take leave. I can't imagine how much grumpier they will get if the government forces them to take even more.
The web was successful because it wasn't a lock down platform, any client could talk to any website.

Google is essentially hijacking the web and turning it into something that it can entirely control and dictate, since Google owns not only critical infrastructure (Chromium, the most used browser), but the most visited websites (Youtube, Search). That's a coup d'état, no more no less.

And the slippery slope is abrupt dude, we went from EME which was already spyware to WEI, and there will be a next step, since we would have already accepted Google's supremacy.

What if the team itself did create LK-99 that is a superconductor, but they aren't able to reproduce it and only have the sample left that works. Hence, they aren't able to make more of it to prove their success, but rather decided to release the paper and method so that others can try to reproduce it. Given the amount of interest, they could put hundreds of labs to work trying to recreate what they themselves can't, hoping someone will find what they found and have an actual process for doing so?

Is that even possible?

This aspect of UBI is functionally equivalent to the generous unemployment + other benefits that exist in many developed countries. The accelerating inflation hypothesis is easily empirically disproven there.

Qubes Security Bulletin 091: Windows PV drivers potentially compromised

It seems like this solution is intended to solve the problem of bots padding numbers for sites providing advertisements on the web. This isn’t a userland problem, it’s an advertiser problem. But the user experience will be worse for it.

I’m seeing the biggest issue is who decides what a “trusted” browser is. Is it Google? I’m guessing the will establish a non-profit “independent” advisory board which will have members who somehow align with the interests of all major advertising stakeholders in the world. This is dripping with anti-compete potential. Some lawyers are going to get rich from this.
