One problem I’ve seen is graphql comes over for some high profile project needs. It feels elegant to get the fields you want in the way you want them.

The trouble comes when REST API parity is not maintained.

The dev experience then becomes an O(N) search through the autogenerated graphql docs to determine X is missing and the thing you are trying to do can’t be done elegantly.
Looking at this setup makes me think it would be interesting to have a public-facing chat service on a 30-second clock where the user has to pad tweet-sized messages with a pre-determined number of zeros and complete sending them off before the deadline is up:

1g lounge: must pad message with 1gig of zeros

10g lounge: must pad with 10 gigs of zeros

100g lounge: must pad with 100gigs of zeros

1t lounge: must pad with 1 terabyte of zeros

100t lounge: intelligence community meet-and-greet

Edit: relevance :)

I’m glad I was an outcast in middle school in hindsight. It prepared me for being okay with some social isolation required in college to study like crazy and end up with a great career.
> Each new release was decidedly worse than the previous one. Compare the original PSX version (video) to the DOS release (video): The vertex lighting on the track is gone, everything looks flat, there is no transparency and the speedometer was redrawn by a programmer. The ATI Rage Edition (video) carried this mess forward, introduced visible seams in the geometry everywhere, somehow corrupted the software z-sorting and then screwed up the text rendering with ghastly letter spacing.

I played a lot of Wipeout XL on the Playstation in my late teens/early 20s. I mean a LOT. The only thing I really wished for (other than less frustrating maps and smarter AI) was a higher resolution and farther draw distance. At some point, I found the Windows version in a bargain bin at some store and snatched it up. 640x480 Wipeout XL would be glorious!

Unfortunately whoever ported it was brand-new to programming or something because they pinned the game speed to the CPU speed, or screen refresh rate or similar. Net result was that it ran way too fast even on a modest computer at the time. It's like nobody even bothered to test it. There was a patch floating around to fix the speed at one point, but there are so many other problems with it that's just far easier to run the PSX version in an emulator and call it a day.
SF and NYC are outliers in this regard. the typical US city is more like LA or orlando where sprawl is rampant.

> I'm too young to understand

Allow me to share the perspective of someone around 18 years old at the time.

First, Id Software created the FPS category with Wolfenstein. However, the company didn't gain widespread recognition until they released Doom. Doom was exceptionally unique, to the extent that it made headlines in mainstream news.

With the launch of Quake, although other FPS games existed, the expectations were high as everybody saw it as the successor of Doom. Also, Quake had a genuine 3D environment as opposed to Doom's 2.5D. 3D graphics cards were not common, making Quake a marvel of PC gaming. Moreover, Quake featured an advanced mod system and a level editor, which were rare in games of that time.

FPS games are now ubiquitous, and even budget smartphones have more 3D capabilities than high-end PCs of that era. So, the “wow” factor of Quake was extremely high.
One of the few durable consumer goods that is a lot cheaper in Germany: a new 60cm (24”) Bosch induction range is about 800 EUR. 80cm ones are also available, but I wasn’t looking at them, as 60cm works better with our existing kitchen, though I doubt they start at 2500 EUR.
I read the rest of your comments on this topic and I’m sorry this happened to you.

I have extensive experience with enterprise vault, implementing and managing it across a company infrastructure to manage application secrets, and during the few years we implemented vault and was in negotiations about our contract, I noticed the sales engineers would

1) be dishonest or misleading about features “needed” for our user case or make long-term promises they couldn’t possibly keep about features. standard salesmanship stuff but was very aggressive.

2) encouraged an integration style that would make migrating out of vault practically impossible, if not outrightly dangerous

3) continually rug pulled features we thought would be free forever (okta/mfa login being the biggest one I can think of). You can’t pass any serious compliance without that, and they realized anyone heavily relying on vault for secrets management would absolutely have to pay for this feature.

Basically it just seemed like hard core vendor lock in and every year our bill would be a lot higher for essentially the same or fewer features. Not to mention nonsensical pricing that even their own engineers can’t explain and changes constantly and arbitrarily.

So all this to say sorry this happened to you and for Vault specifically I am not surprised and would personally not rely on it for anything serious, even though I personally consider it fantastic software - I simply lost trust in hashicorp.
This game and slackware3.4 are most of my memories of my early teen years.
I played Q2 for hundred (if not thousands) of hours in multiplayer, more than any other FPS. And I only ever played q2dm1 (the edge) to the point to where when I tried other maps, it felt like I was playing a totally different game. The amount of subtle tricks like long jumps you could do due to the openGL "bug", or rocket launcher jumps were so awesome. I remember I played at fov 110 and somehow never missed with the railgun.

This wasn't as much for solar efficiency as for cooling a structure.

From the article,

Water Cooled Roof
Under the wrong conditions, your attic can reach temperatures as high as 150 degrees. Not only is this detrimental to standard asphalt roofing materials, but that heat is cooking your house! You waste hard earned energy cycling cool air in and throughout your home just to fight back against this suffocating blanket of heat.

So in addition to carrying away heat from your panels, the system is carrying heat away from your attic as well. Once again, we’ve discovered an efficiency gain that which seems almost hidden by the primary features. So now, water heating equals panel cooling AND roof cooling, which of course means you require less energy for cooling your home.
This is very interesting…why does it exist? Haha

I got the shit beaten out of me nearly everyday in middle school, and it contributed to my bitter cynicism about the world and justice in general, and shattered my ethical compass.
Let's take your assertion at face value, assume you are correct.

You're saying, WORST CASE, likely with cooked numbers in your favor, that the net benefit of CURRENT manufacturing is equivalent?

Okay, let's ask the next question: With the LCOE of coal being fundamentally noncompetitive with wind and solar, what do you think the future of coal-based production is? Right, coal is being actively phased out wherever possible for wind/solar that is simply plummeting in cost, and likely has a decade of cost drops.

And if they are using a grid, what is the switching cost by the factories to use wind/solar? Oh right, probably nothing, since they just pull from ... the grid.

So let's say natural gas turbine took over a lot of coal? Well, the carbon emissions of natural gas turbine are better than coal in the short run, but solar/wind are now beating natural gas turbine, and natural gas turbine is the absolute last gasp of carbon-based energy production trying to take on wind/solar.

So, even if we accept your proposition that it "doesn't matter", and likely those numbers are already years old and alternative energy adoption is drastically ahead of the IEA's projections in the last decade or so, the fact of the matter is that the ball is rolling in the right direction, and anyone with half a policy brain realizes that.

And again, the coal/natural gas/ICE technologies are played out. They have maximized their efficiencies, and wind/solar/EV is already better than in in most meaningful ways, and the technology for wind/solar/EV in terms of economies of scale, design refinement, fundamental technology like perovskites compound cells in solar and sodium ion/LFP/LMFP/sulfur techs have likely 10-20 years of runway left.

> I mean, people are bad at editing. "I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I've written a long letter instead." I don't think it's a conspiracy.

Making a long video isn't like writing a rambling letter. It takes work to make 10 minutes of talk out of a 1-minute subject. And mega-popular influencers do this, not just newbs who haven't learned how to edit properly yet.
> I'll be argued with and attacked

If you consider this interraction an "attack", I'm unsure how you're able to communicate with other humans at all. I've been very cordial, simply pointing out an alternative way of thinking.

> subject instead of the substance of my argument about wealth and worth.

If you'd like to talk only to yourself, maybe don't post on the internet? I'm sorry, but communicating with other people involves _actually communicating_. As in, they're able to respond to the things you write.

> 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.

If it takes you that long to replace a single (to you) irrelevant word in a sentence, I apologize for having ruined so much of your day. It's really not that complicated.

> It's overhead and expense that doesn't actually help anyone.

Are you sure? It seems equally as likely that you're just demanding to behave however you want, regardless of other people's opinions.

Anyway, enjoy the day.
Yeah thats fair. Not a great example. Still irked me tho.
Agreed but I wish I hadn’t suffered.

Eating healthy food is an expensive hobby in money and time. Do it because it is important.

Spending time with friends is only as expensive as you choose to make it. Most of the time, I’m riding the bike I already paid for to a public park or to a restaurant I would have eaten at anyway.

Human social connection is a pretty critical component of a psychologically healthy life.
That’s a great analogy thank you!

Docker is a godsend when you're a solo embedded consultant and a former customer comes to you five years later with an urgent firmware feature request and cash in hand.

If you don't have the exact machine any more, then it's "Good luck getting the toolchain and build environment from the vendor!"

Docker has saved my bacon at least twice in this manner.

That's why we shouldn't have welfare cliffs. Earning 1 more dollar should never incur 2 dollars of benefit loss. That's an argument against hard cut offs and having benefits as a linear function of income.

I wholeheartedly agree that welfare cliffs are one of the most problematic elements of US subsidies. They punish people for bettering their situation and being more independent.

Any help should gradually Fade Out and provide an incentive for earning more.
Thanks!

>My homelab is a mess of cables, and half-baked deployments running on old Supermicro and custom servers, that is way too noisy, and probably pulls a lot of power.

Why not? I had a pretty elaborate setup in the house I sold during covid (fortunately the purchaser was enthusiastic about it) with a wiring closet in each wing and a fibre spine running between them. Not at all as elaborate an external connection as the author but I had a lot of machines and wanted to keep wireless bandwidth for things that moved around.

One handy trick: I had at least one drop in each room, often one for each wall of the room. Behind the wallplate was a NEMA box with a conduit running straight down to the crawlspace (6' high in my house so hardly "crawl"). That made it easy to pull cable, not only initially but if I found I needed an extra run, which hardly ever happened. Instead of trying to run through a rat's nest of conduit the conduit was a straight shot and then the cables could easily be managed.
This is a bit like saying that none of our current crop of computers are Turing complete, because their tape isn't infinite.

We will never achieve a theoretically perfect Turing machine, or a program indistinguishable from a real human in every single respect including funny edge cases. But we can get close enough that it's meaningful to use the theoretical ideal in a colloquial sense that means "crosses the threshold in most contexts". GPT models can actually keep up a half-decent facade against a suspicious interlocutor for a while, something no program has ever done before.
The endless amounts of user created mods, maps, and skins many of us enjoyed in early days were killed off so that game publishers could make a fortune charging us for a small selection of sanctioned DLC. In the process they killed off an entire ecosystem that grew up around user created content. Forums, review sites, file hosting, and generations of new talent who found their love of programing by creating mods all lost due to greed and a desire for control.
The reason its arranged like that is because it started as 1 switch and 1 patch panel, and slowly evolved, so its not ideal, but I am fairly happy with the outcome

If I could re-rack it all, I might make some changes. But that means turning everything off, and I'm not sure when, if ever, I want to do that
It's not scraping, you're just consuming an API.

Scraping is when you're parsing human-readable content (HTML) and extracting data, as the parent comment correctly points out.

None of my friends charge me $200/hr. Maybe you have therapy and friends mixed up? Or are your friends perhaps ladies of the night? Not that there’s anything wrong with visiting ladies if the night. I often wonder if that might be cheaper than therapy. I just worry that if they’re charging you, they might not be the most genuine of friends.
Since Reddit is a moving target, the statement may always be true while never being Reddit. There is a trend with growing popularity.

In the past Ask posts for other sites used to get some interesting responses, but not of late.
1 and 2 directly contradict the point I was responding to. If you want to claim that this is a novel phenomenon, fine (I agree at least in part). But I was directly addressing the claim that this is a historical one. I don’t think so because, as you agree, it hasn’t happened before.

I’m somewhat familiar with Calhoun’s studies if that’s what you’re referencing, but I don’t think they’re perfectly applicable to human societies where there’s no outside force maintaining everything for us. Reproduction slows, accompanied by economic stagnation and infrastructural failures, and all of a sudden we’re not in our little mouse utopia anymore. These little collapses aren’t necessarily bad. It’s artificially pushing onward in the name of GDP that I think leads to even bigger collapses down the road.
Competition is great. Xeroxing the code and undercutting them isn’t actually competing.

Oracle went after Red Hat when Red Hat bought JBoss. Larry said as much. They didn’t like Red Hat actually competing with them, so Oracle sought to undermine RHEL & have a full stack so they didn’t have to share customer spends.
Does assigning copyright with a CLA mean that I would not be free to, say, submit the same PR to more permissive fork as well as Hashicorp's vault?
So it's basically using Git as an "append-only" (no update-in-place) database to then do time queries? It's not the first time I see people using Git that way.

EDIT: hmmm I realize in addition to that it's also a way to not have to do specific queries over time: the diff takes care of finding everything that changed (i.e. you don't have to say "I want to see how this and that values changed over time": the diff does it all). Nice.
The pandemic was definitely the lowest I have ever been in my life. I can totally understand how others didn't make it. Insanely sad.
It clearly demonstrates a time when MIT completely hung one of their own out to dry, in contrast to the “all tech men carry batteries” defense. It is representative of the modern administration’s inability to empathize with the students and faculty they represent.

And yes, I would characterize fighting peacefully for open access as trying to have fun in a way that MIT should be trying to protect.
> there was a solution for the problems it is trying to solve. A community. And the friends that come with it.

People who have strong community and friendships seek and benefit from therapy. Having community and friendship certainly can help navigate many of the myriad reasons that people might see a therapist for, but having them doesn’t necessarily solve those things. And the expectation that they would, or could, can be an acute burden and even sometimes a terminal strain on those relationships.

I can only assume you read the prior post asking for strong evidence. Did you not bother because you couldn’t find any and thought outlandish statements were somehow more sufficient the second time you made them? Do you have any evidence at all, or is this just blind partisan desire to pretend that everybody’s equally bad always so nothing matters?

It’s a bit of a false dichotomy. Perhaps it can be a silver lining, though.

The so-called "Business Source License" always seemed like a huge crock of shit. What criteria is used to determine if another project is competitive with Hashicorp? Ansible modules exist to create cloud resources, and they exist in an actually open ecosystem without being built on terrible DSLs.

To be honest I'm not a huge fan of the wringing about the OSI definition, but it exists for a reason. This whole article is just another example of corporate gaslighting. If you don't define this and prevent that definition from being acquired, you're going to keep having CEOs define open source on how they 'feel', and you won't have the 'spirit' of open source at all.

I mean it's literally the BS License. You really can't even make that up.
This person is pretty average over on /r/homelab.
These issues are mostly separate.

As a society, we need doctor's to make more money than delivery drivers because we expect them to be smart, competent, diligent, and extensively trained (sometimes for >10 years). You will not get enough doctors that meet this bar if you don't heavily incentivize them to sacrifice a huge portion of their life to achieve excellence in their craft.

Home prices are high mostly because our society has promised the demographic with the highest voter turnout (old folks and property owners) that their homes will fund their 10+ year retirement - a time when discretionary spending jumps dramatically. Anything that threatens these high home prices is shut down immediately by the voting portion of the public. As a result "A good salary" can't afford rent.
