> However, if I know anything about high performing teams, it’s that you need to have mutual trust (which breeds psychological safety), and a shared model of what success looks like (metrics anyone?). Without these you’re going to struggle to produce results office or no office.

Hear, hear.

Note that these points are interdependent: Staff must trust management will collaborate and iterate on metrics, and management must trust employees will not game the metrics. If those things are true, then success measured against those metrics (that flows into business health and employee rewards) will reinforce mutual trust. The opposite is true, too.
Bafflingly, many of steps required to fight climate change increase GDP, create economic growth and increase shareholder value.

I looked up some basic numbers on the death toll of World War II in the Pacific theater. It seems to be in the ballpark of 30 _million_ people that died.

I think it would be fair to say that bombing a civilian city into oblivion is immoral. Unfortunately, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not the only cases where this happened. And at the end of the day, it's killing people that's immoral, and vaporizing them with different types of bombs... well, it feels like we're starting to split hairs here, right?

It's odd to me how bad we are at sensible discourse wherever the word "nuclear" is concerned.

Exactly. What is important is knowing what to prioritize for the project at hand. If it’s useful it’s not a cargo cult. Of course the less experienced would ask “how do you know if it will be useful?” but truly the answer is you experiment.
Comments have brought up great points: that the commonly accepted definition of cargo-cult thinking is different from "holding unfalsifiable beliefs".

They are correct! But the reason I talk about cargo-cults is because people know what they are, and for the same reasons as Feynman in this speech: https://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm

He brought up cargo cults as a way to illustrate improper scientific thinking — because the core driver of cargo-cult thinking is unfalsifiable beliefs. I appreciate the sharp reading and will be more explicit next time.

IBM can't "kill" Fedora. All the specs files, the assembly mechanisms for the distribution is available online. The community can (and has) forked fedora and keep it going under a new name, if they wanted to.

But this is all backwards.

> Why should IBM maintain rolling updates into Fedora

The better question is why is IBM maintaining rolling updates into Fedora? Because they have a business incentive to do so. As other comments have opined, they get free testing, free feedback of upcoming changes. The community gets a lot in return. RedHat funds so much open source/free(dom) software development it's ludicrous. There's reciprocity here. There's a lot of other distributions also benefiting from RedHat's work, like Debian (and vice versa).

It seems like the community here on HN has gone complete bonkers over this RedHat business decision. We've reached a next level of open source entitlement syndrome.

We are not entitled to use RHEL for free. We are not entitled to repackage RHEL and sell it for free either. We are only entitled to those part of the source code which is covered by copyleft licenses. Are we entitled to the SRPM for those programs? We don't know. The patches applied, sure. How about the spec files to assemble the RPMs? Who knows. But it seems like everybody are demanding that RedHat should keep doing this work and ensure that third parties can keep their business model of reselling said work.

This is probably not a popular opinion, but the community seem to have a deranged take on this situation.
Not the internal services. I have Letsencrypt setup for services on my tailnet using the Cloudflare DNS plugin for certbot so they're all over https.

Combined with only allowing connections to hosts from the Tailnet and https, forgoing passwords makes them easier to manage and use.

Granted most these personal services are things like Audiobookshelf, Nitter, Plex, and Newsblur. While important to me, they're not exactly high value targets.

My internal Gitea is locked down more and has MFA enabled since I always see git as something to secure.

Curious that Auschwitz was established fully 18 months prior to the Wannsee Conference[0].

There were a LOT of things the Allies chose not do (consider the Evians Conference, for instance) well before hostilities broke out.

I don't disagree that once fighting broke out, there was nothing to be done. But there was plenty to be done way back in 1933 when the first concentration camp was opened.

I'm also not denying that after the Wannsee conference, the efficiency of the Holocaust really picked up [1]. I'm saying that it's a mistake to believe that anybody in control was at all on the fence about what to do with all these undesirables, until they held a conference and said "why don't we just kill everybody?". They'd been trying for years, and it turns out that just shooting 17 million people is a lot harder than it sounds.

To reiterate my comments on the previous thread[1] about this:

I know this isn't typical HN type news, but to me this feels like the true beginning of the end for physical media.
I have always loved having the physical movies in the best quality that I can receive, VHS, laserdisc, DVD, Blu-ray, and these days 4K blue rays.
I still stand that watching a movie in 4K from the UHD disc appears better quality than what I see on streaming.
And at the end of the day, if the streaming service decides to pull the movie, I still own a physical copy of it. I have so many laserdiscs and DVDs that just aren't available anywhere.

I find this really hard to believe. If it were really possible then people could do it with their ears, and they would be doing it and showing off that they can do it. The human ear (and brain) are really, really good at finding patterns and getting signal out of noise.

Both Star Trek and Star Wars treat high technology instrumentally as a source of excuses to cause, allow and embellish the desired plot. Exploration of science and technology is rarely important compared to exploration of characters and adventures.

In both settings artificial gravity reduces visual weirdness and special effects costs; ST replicators minimize boring and challenging starship logistics; SW mass cloning allows uniform, socially rootless and irrelevant armies in an absurdly varied universe; ST dilithium crystals are always available as something crucial to repair and acquire whenever a complication is needed or the Enterprise needs to be immobilized; SW hyperspace travel allows hopping between planets rather casually with enough flight time to offer interludes, while the "technically" similar ST warp drive is used more often to meet other ships in deep space and never to land on planets; and so on as the writers find convenient.

In science fiction, on the other hand, the story follows from a coherent and usually simple speculative premise: what if ants went to war with humans? What if someone had a submarine? What if a man became invisible, or extraordinarily fast? What would it be like to fly to the moon? What would it be like to spend generations of subjective time in a generation ship? Given the empirically proven forbidden magical knowledge contained in the Necronomicon, who might be interested enough in it to break into the Miskatonic University library? What kind of trouble would the Three Laws of Robotics prevent or not, and what alternatives to them might be considered?

Soft science fiction mixes rigorous speculation with other priorities but still takes it seriously. For example, long-range balloon travel in Mary Shelley's The Last Man is an atrophic and naive earnest extrapolation of the bleeding edge technology of the time that is clearly meant to establish that the tragic story is a vision of a far future (which, despite this little touch, still looks exactly like the 1820's); the balloon flights in Verne are much harder science fiction because technology is the main subject.

On the other hand fantasy makes the speculative elements arbitrary and therefore magical, hopefully compensating this sin of bullshitting with symbolism and consistency, a good story, etc.

>The ball starting to move without anything acting on it would violate other principles of classical mechanics.

Isn't gravity acting on the ball? Ideally a ball balanced a the tip of a bowl has 0 net force, but only because it has the force of gravity pulling it into the bowl and an equal force from the bowl pushing back. This would require assuming a reality where there is no smallest particle, no atoms making up the bowl or ball as they are both perfect mathematical objects comprised of infinite points no matter what resolution you look at them at.

The issue is that such a system, if it can be created by rolling the ball up the bowl with perfect precision from any direction, indicates that it is unstable and may reverse at any point, but without any obvious reason causing it to do so. So either the system has some non-deterministic factor which allows for the perfect stability to break at an arbitrary time in an arbitrary direction or it isn't time reversible as the ability to roll the ball up the bowl cannot be reversed.

Looking at it another way, can you tell the difference between a ball I perfectly rolled to the top of the bowl 10 years ago and one I did 10 seconds ago?

I do wonder if we've added so many assumptions, with mathematically perfect objects and infinite precision forces that we have created some sort of paradox. We have hit levels of perfectly spherical cows that cause even the perfectly spherical cows to complain about unrealistic standards.
Yeah, I’m wondering that too. That was the hook I was interested in.
I never knew Taoism had rigid ideas on gender. Is that true? I've never heard that or had an inkling of that.
Cargo-cult thinking is the mimicry, not whatever this is (being wrong, but still insisting you're right?). The way you detect cargo-cult thinking is you ask "why did you do that?" If the answer is "because they did that" it's cargo-cult thinking.

Cargo-cult thinking can also be more successful than analytical thinking over the short term, and over the long term can be subjected to analysis and improved. Cargo is still a religion in contemporary New Guinea and Vanuatu, but now it's an abstract one like the Church of England. If you accept Cargo as symbolic, but still believe in its effectiveness, you might as well be a Methodist.
I have an artisanal handcrafted docker-compose stack for them, so everything is containerized. It's on my todo to write a blog post about the setup.

There's an nginx reverse-proxy container in the stack that routes traffic to the individual service containers via the servername; eg nitter.tail.net goes to the nitter container, teddit.tail.net goes to the teddit container, etc.

The nginx proxy only listens on the Tailnet interface and only accepts connections from the Tailnet CIDR, therefore any device I have on my tailnet can access them. Letsencrypt is also setup so everything is over https.

This allows me to access them from my phone, laptop, whatever when connected using Tailscale.

Tailscale essentially let me completely remove any need for port forwarding on my router and still have global access. It's truly amazing.

> all your references point is the pointer dereferencing drawback I already pointed out

I think maybe you didn't read through both the items I linked or the many others that come from a simple google query. One of my links for example points out the memory fragmentation issues, which can also affect performance, as another commenter here has also pointed out. There's more to the story than pointer de-referencing or memory context -- many drawbacks worth knowing about.

There is nothing baseless here; there are pros and cons. But it's not in good form to ask people for details that are easily looked up on a topic as well-known as this one. We are not a reference source for you.

Really sad to hear this... My first donation as a late teen to free software, was to the ICCF Uganda, thanks to vim's charityware license. It was maybe around 1997 or 98. Later versions of vim used a formal free software license, but still off-band encouraging donations to the ICCF. I've always been a bit skeptical to the whole concept of charity, but I respected Bram Moolenaar so much due to his work on vim that I trusted his judgement. I kept donating to the ICCF for a few years until he was hired at google.

I was also deeply honored to see my (tiny, insignificant) minority language on his page for the word Mooleenar in many languages [0].

As a matter of respect and to honour his memory, I will keep using the last version of vim (by his last commit [1]) as my main text editor for as long as humanly feasible.

I think the typical rejoinder here is Germany's denazification. There's a difference between preemptively censoring things and deciding some things are just wrong and not worth debating for the umpteenth time.

FWIW we preemptively censor things all the time. Information is classified, we don't let you post plans to build nuclear or biological weapons, etc. And to broaden a little, we also have lots of speech restrictions and compulsions. Fraud is against the law and that's largely speech. Inciting imminent lawless action isn't allowed. We require nutrition facts on products, we require doctors to say things before performing abortions, we compel testimony, etc. I personally wouldn't like it if you posted my address and when I'm likely to be away.

Speech is complicated, it's powerful, fundamental, and there are a lot of competing interests and principles.

> With the focus on anthropomorphic sources, it ignores other natural processes or discounts them completely.

The natural processes are fully accounted for. They are a tiny blip compared to manmade sources. Again: historical CO2 rises like this took thousands or even millions of years, whereas the one we're witnessing right now has taken maybe two hundred at most. The difference is from the manmade contributions. If you disagree, then you can present the sources you believe to be major contributors at your leisure.
