> Anyone ever had to do a diff of a Microsoft Visio document by hand? Anyone had to manually type in the name of a document and its revision by hand into a web form? Anyone ever spent an afternoon working on a document, only to realize that someone else already made the changes you made but forgot to update the filaname which caused their changes not to be visible to you? Programmers are spoiled with the best tools in version control. People in other domains are doing this, without even knowing that they are doing this. They are making commits, merging, rebasing, etc.. without even having a word to describe it.

I don't see what that last paragraph has to do with git being any good. You're looking at the difficulty of collaboration without revision control, and saying "this shows how good this particular revision control system is".

If you think git is good because of that last paragraph, then it's no better than CVS.
They canned it, but clearly believed they had both the capability and the rights to deploy.

That's actually interesting. Having been used to it once, I find it now to be a refreshing experience. (This may be due to this reminding of times when things used to be more focused. I observe myself approaching this content with a quite different attitude than most things today.)

Firefox had an OS, and it was rebranded to KaiOS, which is still extant and active today.

FirefoxOS/KaiOS, however, is targeted only for feature phones, and therefore, resource-constrained systems. I did enjoy one such phone, and it had a fairly decent browser, though I can't say that it had any Firefox-like features that I could identify, because it was so incredibly minimal.
That doesn’t seem to make a whole lot sense. A meteorite hitting it is one of the most unlikely things that could ever happen to any given garage.

Okay, then tell us why we should care about it when more popular operating systems fit our needs better anyways.
Blindly squashing every branch into one commit is lame and done by people who have either never had to bisect a bug or too lazy to figure out how to properly rebase. Where squashing is important is turning a work in progress branch into a series of commits for the master branch. There shouldn't be any commits fixing your own shit, for example. I don't want to see one commit where you do the work then five commits fixing your own work. Nobody needs to see that. It only makes things worse.
This was early Perl code for me (early 2000s). Write once; read never. Once you and your teammates developed some discipline, it got much better.

I own the house I live in and would prefer its value did not increase! What do I benefit if my house is worth more? I pay higher rates (council -- ie. local government), have less options to move house (because other houses are just like mine, increasing in cost), and it makes me less mobile for work (because rents are likely to be up elsewhere to).

Owners who are using housing as an investment may want house prices to rise, but I don't. The shortfall between those two can be managed with tax, surely? I am no expert in this market, but owning one extra house would mean I assist with rental supply, owning two maybe moreso, but owning 5? 10? 100? Why is property tax not applied at a greater rate/value as the number of properties you own increases?

And of course, if there is money to be made investing in housing, institutional investors will capture that value readily, as they have done in Australia (and probably elsewhere I would imagine).
Most telcos are well on their way to remove conventional circuit switching, and long distance carriers I’m aware of have already moved to VoIP. STIR/SHAKEN is already out there outside the US, albeit it is hard to say how prevalent it is.

Getting Pwn'd by AI: Penetration Testing with Large Language Models

I recently wondered why Casey Muratori (RAD Game tools, Handmade Hero etc.) seems to write C++ in a very C like fashion plus a few select features.

Here's a discussion: https://hero.handmade.network/forums/code-discussion/t/453-w...

One of the takeaways is that he prefers the simplicity of C but uses operator overloading for similar reasons as you describe. One example includes addition of vectors, which is certainly a thing you do often in game and graphics related code.
> I've seen someone on this site call for the abolition of drunk driving laws, arguing that the punishable act should be driving recklessly rather than the factors that led to the reckless driving

Is there some flaw in the argument? Typically it's the reckless driving which would get you caught anyway. Which is why the "I'm fine" crowd still does it despite it being illegal -- they think they're not going to do anything that will get them pulled over.

The advantage of that proposal isn't that the drunks get away with it. If they're weaving in and out of lanes or driving 35 on the highway they're still getting cited.

It's that the person doing the exact same thing because they're excessively tired or otherwise incapacitated gets the same citation even if they can blow in the machine and get a zero.
I had the same feeling with a lot of interviews from the past, but somehow, about a year ago, something changed. Not sure if it was a conscious decision or just the result of so much practice, but for quite something I haven’t screamed at my screen when listening to Lex.
If you tried running anything on user donations, you would see that users are not that generous.

Although I think the implementation of the gensym function is broken, the article does explain that it wasn’t possible to use &mut u32 because multiple references to the value were required. It would be more idiomatic to use Cell rather than RefCell, but there’s nothing really wrong with using RefCell as far as I can see.

I worked for a small software company in Canada. We were hourly. Had a specific start time and end time and they shoed you out the door at 5pm to lock up. If you ever had to stay late, you filled out an overtime sheet. No clock in/out but if you were late frequently you'd get a talking to.

It was annoying. I'd often be 'in the zone' at 5 and they felt the need to interrupt productive work. Not sure why. Eventually they gave me a key.
Right, vehicles like the Ford Edge are only classified as light trucks for regulatory purposes. It isn't a real truck in any meaningful sense.

That's perhaps the biggest thing about RISC-V: no one company can kill it by going out of business (DEC), by getting bored with it (Oracle with SPARC), or by deciding to replace it with something else (Intel with Itanium).

If the company you were buying RISC-V disappears, you can choose from ten others -- maybe 100 or 1000 others one day. Or, if you have the skills, you can design your own ... maybe in an FPGA if technology has moved along and you were using an old design.

Or if another ISA takes over, you can run a RISC-V emulator on whatever the new ISA is.

All of this without any questions or worries about legality, licenses, patents.
As a company. Since they have been bought by an "investment company" they have been in a downward spiral. It will take a few years but the process started.
That's, ahh, a Bachelor of Arts Physics degree.

That comes from a broad liberal arts education and attending "Physics for non-physics people" lectures.

He's seen the Foucalt's Pendulum and heavy pendulum swinging at the head demonstrations but never had to get into the weeds with tensor calculations or most of the material B.Sc Physics grads would consider essential.

It's more physics than a History graduate would typically see, but less physics than, say, an Engineering graduate would be required to do.

It's technically a Physics degree, sure, but it's easy to see how many STEM people wouldn't regard that as an actual Physics degree.
I've been on the receiving end of some of those and honestly I prefer that to people not taking time to review your code because they don't have time, or because it ended up being too complex. Also worse than having zero comments.

I'm pretty sure some of mine were also perceived as adversarial, especially when I had to ask for a re-do.

> GM has a market cap of $51.5B

Yes and have you considered why that is? Look at how many vehicles GM sold in 2008 and then now, it continues to go down. They are retreating from markets. Their EV division has been a complete failure with their ultium platform barley producing a few 1000 cars.

They are surviving because of ICE SUV/Pickups in the US market but have basically no chance to do much beyond that.

And that market is under massive attack over the next half decade.

> We have a custom metadata database running in our cloud control plane which handles ordering.

This is the secret sauce, right there. Anybody can host a bunch of topics and artefacts on S3, and have them locally-replicated if they want. However, there is no world where you can have that without a synchronisation service that ensure cursors are uniques and properly ordered.

Oh, absolutely. It could be forgiven if the documentation wasn't so spectacularly useless. The man page just covers that there are OBJECTs you can call, and that you should do for instance 'ip address help' to see what you can do. I encourage anyone to actually do that. A familiarity with Backus normal forms is required to decipher that "help".

Just install 'net-tools' and good ole ifconfig will be in /sbin...

I still identify with the “frontend developer” title, even though my skill set has grown beyond it. Best practices are framework dependent, the tooling one should choose is dependent on their problem space, and we do appreciate simplicity.

No one is forcing people to use React, Svelte, Vue, etc. The sentiment of wishing for a simpler time has never felt right to me, cause no one is policing what people use. If you feel like people are forcing you into frameworks, I’m sorry, and I feel like I have a piece of advice.

If you truly believe a framework isn’t worth it, tell your team why. You might be right, and you might be wrong.

I’ve worked at large and small companies; discussions about what technologies to use have always been welcome. I’ve advocated for and won when making a case for “simpler solutions,” when it makes sense.

All that said if you think using a framework framework === complexity for the sake of complexity, you’re wrong. OP I’m not saying you think this, but I have to imagine that it’s the sentiment of at least part of the folks who made this the top comment.

In theory, yes.

In practice, most of the RPFs that we get for UNIX deployments, rather want us to provide solutions in ecosystems born out of the UNIX world and aren't keen in hearing about .NET, even if it supports UNIX platforms nowadays.

Back in the .NET Core 3.1 days, I had a migration project from .NET Framework to Java, as the customer didn't want to stay in the .NET ecosystem, and given the amount of code they had to rewrite to be fully functional in .NET Core, they decided to move elsewhere.

They aren't alone, Sitecore once the the lighthouse of enterprise .NET CMS, is now a polyglot platform, where most of the new products are written in a mix of Java and JS/TS.

Given the recent efforts in WCF Core compatibility and System.Web wrappers, it is quite clear that the decision to create a Python 2 / 3 schism in the .NET world is taking its toll.

IKEA crap can last decades but not all of it. As an example I have used an IKEA desk for 6 months, and it showed real ageing by the end of it. And I was not eating at that desk, or sawing stuff, but some of the heat from the computer and maybe palm sweat? were sufficient to damage it. That is not durable.

Nice. What about the default telemetry?
> You could come up with answers to that, but then, they would make sense only with one use case of what you intended to do with each command. To cater for that you'd start to need "git undo --this-way" or "--that-way".

I don't think so. Lots of software products that support "undo" support undoing across a greater many actions than git provides, and yet they are able to perform the undo just fine; they don't need a special "undo --paint" and "undo --move-object" and "undo --reset-to-default".

There's literally nothing special about what git does that can't be covered by a general "undo" command which looks at the last git command executed in the local repository and maps that specific intention to an action.

When this is not possible (in the middle of a rebase, for example), simply tell the user (as git currently does) that $ACTION is not possible while performing a rebase.

I went and read through the last 3 days of chat history, including the part where the original article was mentioned. There are not really a lot of “cursing about stupid sensational news“ there. In fact, people were posting screenshots of news about Chemezov (the Head of Rostech) reporting to putin about the ongoing cannibalisation of the current fleet.

Why use throwaway btw?
I'm not an expert, but it might be that your speakers do not really respond to the low A (~27Hz). Check the speaker's response curve.
That is just flat out factually wrong. CFO just like ever other position sometimes switch jobs.
Flushing every 100ms means you would end up with lots of tiny files (bytes) in s3 unless you have something out of process re-writing them in to larger blobs similar to Delta lakes optomize?

The lots of tiny files would be really inefficient from throughput and api call perspective in blob storage.

With the acks, you have up to 100ms waiting for the buffer to fill, + s3 put request + your metadata request/response. For high throughput that must have very high latency putting back pressure on partitions?
If only the tooling was at the same level as C# and Java.

Additionally, they add friction to a development stack, now everyone needs to be confortable with two language stacks, and most of the time it isn't really worth it.
> If online shopping were truly such a terribly scammy UX in 100% of cases people would stop using it or shift to shopping from trusted sellers

That slide has already started. I can't buy stuff on Amazon anymore, because I don't trust the quality or that I'm not scammed. Unless I trust the author I'd question buying self published books. There's a number of Chinese website, like Wish, that I don't understand. Why bother shipping an item to a customer if you're running a scam? People order dress and get a plastic Christmas tree... Why even bother sending the tree? Why produce shitty products that break after first use, why not just straight up rob people, seem more genuine and with less environmental impact.

There are whole categories of products that can not longer be bought online and an even larger category that can only be purchased from trusted companies.

The level of scams have reached new heights in the past year and unless we do something to address "A.I." generated content the internet will drown in useless nonsense.
I have contradictory feelings regarding git. For more than ten years, I was using it daily without really understanding the internals... and I was often confused and frustrated. After investing some time learning how the Directed Acyclic Graph works, suddenly everything made much more sense.

And, yes: it is good to learn the underlying fundamentals of the technology we are using. But, on the other hand, it denotes a rather poor abstraction from the UX point of view, imho.

Now, when I deliver git training, I start by explaining the DAG and how there is no magic, only git. By the way, the notes and exercises of the course are in my GitHub account[1], feel free to check it out if you think it can be useful.
