You made HaVoC?! I loved HaVoC! Thank you so much for making it and putting time into it.

I assume this[1] is your website, please do not ever let the website go offline. It is such a perfect reminder of the time it is from.

The internet archive does the same thing for free, for everyone, and without a membership.
Thanks, that's a more nuanced understanding of it than I had. Still, when I try to think about keeping that model in sync with the real underlying model, it scares me.

It sounds to me like there is still bound to be some correlation between querying flexibility on the client side, and coupling between the client and server. But that is OK in many cases and in fact is how many REST apis are already being implemented.
>Not long ago, children were allowed to roam freely in the neighborhood, walk to and from school, and have some essentially unsupervised time to play and be children.

Yeah, I see that almost every day where I live. Young kids even take the subway across the city all by themselves. This is normal life in any decent, developed nation.

You've never been outside the United States, have you?
I've being using it for a long time and the only time i had a problem was when i ported an old 3d game engine of mine to Mac OS X and i had a type "key_t" which conflicted with some Mac header.

I just used the preprocessor to #define key_t mykey_t (or something like that) after the Mac-specific headers in the couple of files where the conflict was and never thought about it again.
Yes, check some of the previous HashiConf keynotes to see the types of customers that are paying for it and which products they use. Also HashiCorp's financials are public, although without a per-product breakout. You'll have to connect the dots between some of these things to try and get into the rough ballpark.
No, but BYTE died way back in the 90s instead. So did the Windows NT name.

Another case of Betteridge's Law of Headlines holding true: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word 'NO'."

I still miss BYTE.
That's just it though, isn't it? I have to say "people" instead of "men" or I'll be argued with and attacked on a tangential subject instead of the substance of my argument about wealth and worth.

That means I might spend 15% of my time thinking about how I might possibly be misinterpreted instead of on the actual problem at hand.

It's overhead and expense that doesn't actually help anyone. It's just a veneer of pretending to help. Anyway I think we've covered the whole tangent now.
Why can't you have a therapist and friends?

I can pay money and see a therapist. It’s a lot harder to find a community.
I agree; grammar rules should be abandoned. From now on, I'm going to use the word "less" to mean a larger number of something. If you can't understand me, it's your fault.
Ok, but you made a comment stating that what I said is inaccurate. It's not. It's just a different philosophy for analyzing rotating systems. And importantly, it's how Karman conceptualized his dynamic model for an aerodynamic space-plane that led to the derivation of the Karman Line in the first place. Describing the Karman Line through such a rotational reference is perfectly acceptable. There's no reason at all to keep our thinking about free-body diagrams and physical models to strictly inertial frames. Doing so in no way makes a conceptual framework more accurate than any other.

I really hate this way thinking about centrifugal force and rotational frames. It's a breeding ground for pointless internet arguments like this one instigated by the most frustrating of pedantry. Spreading this idea that using centrifugal force is somehow wrong only acts to restrict understanding of physics. It also handicaps you from solving problems in ways that could be better served by changing frames.

> Kavanaugh has been the swing vote on several recent decisions, and the early leaking of the Dobbs draft opinion strongly implies the application of this kind of social pressure to a Justice like Kavanaugh.

A left-wing radical attempted to assassinate Kavenaugh because of that leaked decision. It seems far more likely that the leak was a form of stochastic terrorism designed to scare the court into upholding the status quo.

When I started developing my main product, I didn't know if it would be successful, especially since it involved a paradigm shift in how most people thought of the workflow involved (database schema changes / migrations). So I made it open source to encourage adoption and experimentation.

Meanwhile I put some of the core logic (database schema introspection and diff'ing) in a separate library and repo, since it could be re-used for other applications in case my original product didn't get traction.

Fast forward many years, and the product has been fairly successful. The open source edition of the product has been used by many hundreds of companies and has been downloaded 1.2 million times. And in terms of the paradigm shift, the push/pull schema change semantics that I invented have been copied by several much larger projects, such as Prisma.

The separate library was used by a few companies too (e.g. by Canonical for one notable case), but mostly for internal use-cases, not things that directly competed with my product. I think most folks had enough moral fiber or common sense to understand that using the library in a competitive way would result in the library being killed off. What other choice did I have? I wasn't going to let my business be killed by a hostile fork of my own library.
This is a really good answer, thank you.
If you're using vsc then C is absolutely not the right language. If your code can't fit in your head when you're writing it then you have no hope of debugging it. Vsc very much encourages your code to grow as large as the machine you're wiring it in can handle.
Meh.

Sure, it's hard to make money in open source. I spent 20 years doing it. It ain't easy.

But here's the thing: open source also helps you accelerate a business you might not otherwise be able to build. You get market validation by giving away a free thing, and then you hope to be able to collect some revenue on the backend once you've got a large enough user base, a proven product, and maybe even some contributors. Maybe even a whole ecosystem. You think VCs would have thrown all that money at a thing with no users?

Want to throw it all out? Fine. That's your right. But it's not gonna stop companies from forking the last open source licensed codebase and taking your cookies.

Open core is a thing. You can be good at it, and users understand and respect it. You would think that Mitchell would have learned after his failure to monetize Packer that he needed an actual proprietary value prop to build around before he built Hashi. Guess not.

You can't have it both ways.
Quake II was my first experience writing C.

The code is clear, coherent, and straightforward. I’m not going to say it’s the best source code I’ve ever read, but it set a high bar. I’ve read source code to games since then, and I’ve seen all sorts of weird stuff… I’ve seen functions with nesting levels that go past the right side of the screen, I’ve seen functions a mile long that do a million things, you know. It was an early lesson that you could do cool things with simple code.

We used Quake and Quake II to teach a VR class to kids in the late 1990s and early 2000s. You got a VR headset, you got a half-dozen PCs with Q.E.D. or Qoole, and you taught a room of 12-14 or 14-18 year-old students how to make their own virtual reality game.

“Make your own virtual reality game” was, essentially, making your own Quake or Quake II level, without any monsters or guns in it. The story for the game could be told through on-screen messages triggered in the level. Students made all sorts of levels. One group made a level with slime you had to cross, and a button that turned on pumps to drain the slime (very much like what you would see in a standard Quake II level). Another group made a 3D maze out of water that you had to swim through, floating in space. I still have some of these student-made levels on my hard drive, after all these years, although I have trouble getting some of them to work.

For the class, I made a mod that gave the players a flaregun instead of the blaster. Basically, it was still the blaster, but with a different sound effect and no weapon model. I modified the blaster bolt to be affected by gravity, bounce off of things, and go out after a certain amount of time.

(If you were in that class—you may not have gotten the headset. We couldn’t always get it to work.)

> Lots of organizational structures work for small groups, but break down when applied to larger ones

A key feature of many early human organizational structures was flexibility and creativity. Maybe it's time to do some more experiments. The current structure doesn't really permit that, which is a shame.

Anyway some examples come from Native Americans. One of the arguments in the book is that this idea that social complexity necessitates inequity is false and that its origins are the meeting of Europeans and native Americans. People like Kondiaronk, as depicted by an explorer whose writings disseminated extensively, had deep critiques of the European system of organization, specifically it's focus on profit motive, its punitive justice system, patriarchy, and hierarchies. The enlightenment defense was to cast the egalitarian lives of the native Americans as naive, youthful, ignorant, undeveloped etc. Notice in this thread many doing the same - "sure they were egalitarian, they lived in the stone age!" The book rejects that social inequity is a requirement to leave the stone age.

"Ok but you need hierarchy once you leave society the size of a tribe of 200 people," nope not really, they demonstrate how Teotihuacan started with a rigid hierarchy and transformed itself into an egalitarian society, demonstrating that dense urban society doesn't require inequity and also demonstrating that we can have flexible social systems.

Anyway the book offers no solution, just reflects on three major losses to our global society that we should consider investigating further: the freedom to move away, the freedom to disobey arbitrary authority, and the freedom to experiment with fluidic social structures.

Imo the current social order has already broken down. There's a class of people on this earth that wield unfathomable resources (billionaires). Throughout human history I can think of only a few individuals that had that kind of power, and they at least were responsible for running empires lest they be torn apart suddenly by a mob. Yet today we have thousands. We also seem to have created simple artificial intelligence algorithms/hiveminds and propped them up as infallible and immune-to-ethics (you gonna blame Shell for turning a profit?), and are slowly letting them supplant our liberal democracies as our new rulers (through lobbying and the like) (try to start your own ISP in certain cities).

I feel like it's as valid to say "we just shouldn't try to encapsulate tens of millions under the same social order, it leads to suffering" as it is to say "in tribes there are no iphones." We don't really know, do we? We can't really experiment anymore, can we?
Season 1 was fun. Season two absolutely sucks and has totally lost the humor of the book.
Terrible acting, terrible writing, and weirdly shoe-horned sociopolitical messaging.

Yeah, the "C is the universal ABI" problem is... annoying. Hopefully something safer eventually replaces it in that niche.

Also, I think the main reason I use a lot of the tools I do is just "suck cost fallacy".
... the best choice by far is still Tesla.

Tesla was the only choice until a few years ago.

The best competitor is Hyundai which is a shitty buy

ever heard of the IRA hoophole?

I think it’s also worth pointing out that EVs are exploding in China because those buyers don’t have to worry about long distance driving.

It's not that Chinese don't drive long-distance b/c of the HSR, which btw is $1T under water at this point. It's just that their EV programs/subsidies so far favored cheap, low-range, urban EVs -- such as #1 seller, Hongguang Mini EVs with just ~10kWh batteries -- having promoted cheap, inferior LFP under their state industrial policy. China's next challenge is to push EVs in rural area and it won't be nearly as easy.
Hello! Yes! It's cool you remember. I resurrected the site a while ago and gave it a domain. I also have a HaVoC server running on a Linode, so there will always be a server up. The master servers are a bit of a mess and it's a little hard to setup a client, but it's possible. I skipped T2 and haven't played T1 in a long time. I played Tribes: Ascend for a while, it's pretty good but now dying/dead. I miss T1. PubG and others just don't do it for me. Nowadays I play Rocket League occasionally and that's it.

This is the cross industry playbook, and I'm really tired of it.
I don't see notion of brands themseves staying a viable differentiator for most online purchases.

Sure you could remember a name you decide to trust, and never ever care to do research from there. But I see it the same way we had a period on usenet where you'd put your real name and phone number in your posts signature.

Too sad Amazon allowed reviews to be gamed, but I think third party reviews are still the way forward to identify good products.
But why remove the adfree plan?
Those companies are not always trying to build up a brand and grow though. Some are just fronts until they accumulate enough bad reputation or reviews until they make a new front. The weird names are to keep things unique and help with searches. They are nonsensical so no due diligence has to be done on name collision issues.

Not saying always but it's definitely a thing.

It’s hard to access talk therapy in Japan because drugs can be prescribed evenly to all people and the results can be measured soon after, where as therapy could take many months before there is any results and is more person specific. I’ve seen so many people I know who could have benefited greatly from a little bit of CBT but were completely unable to access it.
Correct, only if there is an outage

Thanks, I'll correct that!

There was never a medical reason for those, only religious. American doctors tried to invent a medical reason, but those are the same doctors who told people that smoking is good for you because the tobacco companies paid them to.

I wrote a gnarly migration using this API once. Involved extracting deeply nested json objects, conditionally transforming the values, and storing them in a new column. I wrote that migration and never touched it again and was always afraid to go back and mess with it because it was so hard to reason about.

This API is extremely useful but I would definitely recommend caution in its use, because it’s very easy to write a giant SQL statement that’s very powerful but impossible to read.
It is inaccurate for any reference frame you should expect the laymen you were addressing to understand. I stand by my statement. You can invent a reference frame that will make anything "technically correct"

Deeply divided on some of the most contentious issues of the day — including abortion, gun rights and the place of religion in public life — the court’s six conservatives and three liberals seem united on this particular principle: on ethics they will set their own rules and police themselves.
I know that they've invested in those companies, but many of them are in the moonshot stage with most investments being way too recent. I wouldn't say YC is an expert investor in the sector. That's what makes it so hard - there isn't a YC for the hard sciences, and especially not for aerospace. I would say the closest to success YC startup in aerospace is Zipline.

Being in America matters for them, because afaik, Australia is nowhere as competitive as America or the EU in the space sector. More opportunities = more paths to success.

Fun fact, back in the PG days, when we had applied to YC, we were rejected because aerospace was an area where they didn't "have expertise" and where we would have to work heavily with government. Same for another friend and his AI-based visual surveillance startup. Both companies were later acquired by established behemoth players eventually.
There are so many games that aren't being sold anymore and aren't playable on modern software/hardware stack.

This is a horrible framing, and in fact, not even true.
Structured logging means logging where discrete events are sets of key=val pairs, and nothing more.

What is a record context? What is a level? These are concepts built on top of a structured logger, which manifest as specific key=val pairs in a given structured log event. They don't need -- and shouldn't have! -- first-order representation in a low-level structured logger API.

What is an entry point? If I'm writing some structured logger implementation, I expect that I should need to provide precisely one method:

func (x *MyThing) Log(<set of key=val pairs>) error

Anything more is cruft.

> they’re protecting themselves against cloud providers that have repeatedly abused the goodwill of the open source community

This seems a lot more likely to be targeting other startups that build on terraform like spacelift, env0, maybe pulumi (although I think they interface with providers directly, so this might not affect them as much), etc. And maybe there are similar companies for their other offerings, although I'm less familiar with those.
Are you unable to get out of the hole of vocabulary appropriation and lobbying created by some activist groups?

You are perpetrating the mind washing game of zealots that try to convince you they have the right to define what is and is not acceptable to their self defined standards.

You keep quoting articles and pages defining what _a specific group_ with a specific agenda has chosen to appropriate as "Open source".

All your sources and Wikipedia pages are ultimately linked to GNU publications. Read the references.

"an open source software license must also meet the GNU Free Software Definition"

That is plain ridiculous.

> it's also been a thing for 20+ years

No, it has never been "a thing". Especially not 20 years ago. Not even the sources you quote date back more than 5 years.

I don't know for you, but I was there 20+ years ago, developing and using open source softwares, and that distinction did not exist. If you had the source, it was open source, whatever the limitations of the license.

You are being indoctrinated.
