I've seen it regress a lot in the last two years.

I have a Google Spreadsheet that I used to track investments I have in various markets. Three months ago Google stopped showing any stock quotes for ETFs in Europe. No explanation, just 'f u, we showed them for years now all your spreadsheet breaks'. I had to help myself with getting some quotes from Yahoo News via script but it's half-baked.[1]

Google doesn't care about it's products and anyone who thinks different hasn't opened their eyes.

Btw their lack of quality and care is not new for Google Docs/Spreadsheets [2] Issues keep popping up but are usually fixed after a while. This time they just stopped bothering.

I wish Google had Product leaders who actually cared about the quality of their products rather than just launching new features that make a splash and then slowly wither on a vine. Fewer features I could actually rely on would go a long way.

Society, in the USA, is not designed around finding the best and brightest doctors. It is about finding people to pay into being a doctor. "Need to spend money to make money" as the saying goes. Odds are some of those UPS works would make great doctors. Just that they neither have the finances to peruse being a doctor nor do they known they would be good doctor. School is not focused on help us find what we are good at. Those that do are just lucky to live in an environment where you can. No different than some of those UPS works would make a great athlete, actor, or other profession. They just don't know it because lack of opportunity to learn and find out.

I like your part about home prices. There always multiple factors in play. Such as not limiting land lords buying up properties to make home owner ship a scarce resource. Or limiting construction zoning for homes. Or turning homes into Air BNBs. Or people owning more than one home. Or companies raising prices to increase profits to drive up stocks which limit affordable building materials.

Multiple factors drive up home prices. No different than multiple factors limit our selection of quality of doctors. Doctors, home sellers, and home builders benefit by limiting and creating a scarce resource.
Awesome! Let's stop everything - research, electricity, etc, until we find a way to run everything with zero emissions.

Out of curiosity, what DO you write instead of Makefiles in this case?

I’m genuinely curious if it’s actually easier, but I’m assuming you’re just using a different tool, maybe without as much historical baggage (and incompatible implementations)…

Casey's novel(?) circle drawing algorithm (DDA variation)
"To the best of my knowledge, this derivation is more efficient than the standard published Bresenham or midpoint circle formulations I found on-line. All of them seem to require more operations. In the branching version, mine requires only 3 to 6 adds — that’s it. The standard algorithms I’ve seen listed tend to require 9 or more."
I'm willing to bet most people on here have never actually experienced living with decentralized infrastructure, and only have an abstract understanding of what it entails. I live on the edge of a state forest where the only centralized service we have is electricity (we still have solar). We have gas bottles for cooking and hot water, and when one runs out we switch it over and get it replaced. For sewerage we get the septic tank pumped, and for water we collect rainwater. If we have a dry year or use too much, we have to pay for water cartage. If the pump goes down, I'm either fixing it myself or paying someone else to fix it on short notice.

Now, I chose this and it's how I grew up, so I wouldn't have it any other way. But the beauty of centralized systems is that they offset these burdens to an authority that handles all of that for you. If I were unable to pay for a new pump, well, I would have no water. A centralized system paid for by taxes guarantees that everyone will always have access to water under fairly mild conditions.

The failure of centralized systems and people resorting to locally decentralized solutions isn't indicative of decentralized solutions being better, but more a failure of governance and bureaucracy. I mean, there's a reason we all moved from decentralized systems (like getting water from a well) to centralized systems in the first place. That's not to say that decentralized anything doesn't also have advantages, only that the distinction really matters, and people should be sure of what it is they're advocating for when they want to decentralize infrastructure like electricity and water that are vital for survival.
For me, middle school was a bit more stratified, but particularly later in high school, I never felt much vitriol or division across such simple categories. I was mostly cool with everyone, without ever belonging to a particular group. I learned to adapt and “code switch” among different people pretty very well, which has also carried over to adulthood. Though I do admit it’s been pretty isolating.
Grew up in EU. We thought it was edgy and cool to drink alcohol around 13/14. We couldn’t acquire serious quantities so not much drunkenness happened. We’d like share a beer between 10 people and think we’re soooo drunk
The "demonization" of communism is wholly deserved. Every communist country, ever has been am impoverished, totalitarian, shithole. The most successful "communist" countries are those that have given up on economic communism (China, Vietnam), though they'd be even more successful if they gave up on political communism too.

The track record of communism is so insanely bad that it is literally the second worst ideology of the 20th century, beat only by facism which caused the instant self-immolation of every country to ever try it (while inflicting terrible harm on their neighbors).
1999. That's when the first version of this document was published. The original 1999 press release is linked to Wikipedia. There were some conferences and debates that happened before that, and some settling of the OSI in the early 2000s. 20+ years ago.

> 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.

That's really pretty strange ... it was a pretty hot topic back then ... are you sure you used open source software? like linux, freebsd, apache httpd, gcc, bash, samba, mozilla...

The right to use software commercially even if the copyright holder doesn't like you is an important qualification of open source. GPL, LGPL, BSD, MIT, MPL, Apache etc all include this right. It's important. It did take people some time and debate to figure it out ... 20+ years ago.
Leasing a solar system on one’s roof is a thing, either fixed or as a power purchase agreement: https://www.sunrun.com/solar-lease

Leasing the roof itself to the solar company less so. Though the difference isn’t clear.

In theory you get a deal on your power, but it really depends on the terms of the lease compared to your local utility’s prices.
You can use a mix of secrets manager and certificate manager products in AWS and accomplish essentially the same things Vault promises for much cheaper (and easier to manage).

I’m underselling of course the vast capabilities of vault. but most companies don’t need those advanced features, and they don’t really sell them, they sell and lock you into features that once you implement are going to become an extraodinary hurdle to migrate out of.

On the oidc - yes we were using okta as that. but at some point mid-contract the “okta” management features that connected to it became enterprise only, and we had reasoned that if we didnt need more advanced features (dr, replication) we could go back to OSS when we wanted. In fact that was even told to us, until that was no longer the case.
I don't know if it was just a lucky guess, but as soon as I saw that first pic of the house exterior with the BMW, I said "that looks like it is in Houston", and sure enough...

Can someone with more knowledge comment on whether that particular design is more common in Houston or was it really just a lucky guess? I kinda feel like that carport-style design is very Houston, haven't seen it as much in other cities.

You can resume. But the caching is very finicky, especially when processing groups of files. I often have to sort tuples or set caching to “deep” to get resume to actually do its job.

The fact that they have a whole blog post called “demystifying nextflow resume” suggests it isnt intuitive for most.

Yeah I was 14 way before anyone had heard the word "instagram", and people were pretty obsessed with being attractive as a means to being able to express and experiment with budding sexuality. Social media seems to make this worse, but mostly when this stuff comes up I just think "same as it ever was...".
Definitely appreciate your comment, so thank you. It means a lot.

I think fortunately, I'm not doing all that much with vault aside from initializing it, configuring k8s auth, writing some small policies depending on some inputs for the specific user, and then setting cert-manager up to use it. It's definitely one of the more simple projects to rip and replace.

But it's frustrating, for sure. I got some of my coolest code set up to unseal and initialize vault programmatically, and was hoping to eventually get it to a point where I'd be able to orchestrate that on a user's behalf without having control myself, via e2e crypto. Maybe with another CA project I could achieve the same thing. But yeah, looking at the new license file in the vault project, I'm not sure how well any of this would work out if my code was orchestrating it. And certs are pretty fundamental to the project.

The top spec 32GB RAM on the qualified list for the specific board I linked earlier runs $40-$41 on ebay. The same speed and capacity for generic DDR4 runs in the mid $30s. The board has 4 RAM slots. So the premium for QVL RAM for that linked board is $20 over generic if you want to max out at 128GB.

Supermicro did have RAM issues in the early teens.

This sort of research is the non-dollar price of finding deals on server-class hardware.

If you want to get something pre-validated, and usually with a warranty, it can be worth it to look for resellers for the major OEMs that also offer refurbished hardware. It's more expensive than the typical options available on eBay, but still much cheaper than new hardware.

Yes. You can also sell the project as-is with zero changes if you want. The only thing you have to be wary of is trademarks, which normally aren't covered under standard OSS licenses.
> What if something goes wrong and all the children roast alive or something? Then the parents would sue. It'll never happen today, people are terrified of being wrong so no is always the easiest answer.

I guess I sometimes agree with this sentiment, but this seems like an inappropriate place to invoke it. Is it really so insanely risk averse to get professional HVAC people to install and maintain the HVAC system for a large public facility?
I wonder how we ended up as a society where democratically elected representatives are allowed to gaslight the public like this. Yes - the freedom on the internet is under threat. But we have a bigger problem when principles of democracy are under threat.

Give an example of a work of art produced by a human's need to create for creation's sake alone, and not at all for the marketplace, that outclasses any classical works of art, music, literature or anything else that the creator was paid for. Michaelangelo didn't paint the Sistene Chapel ceiling for free. The Rolling Stones and the Beatles didn't perform for free. Shakespeare didn't write for free. That indie band you like so full of passion and verve would probably kill to be able to at least make ends meet on tour, because if they don't, they just break up and get "real" jobs. Even Banksy sells his work.

All art is work. Any art worth doing is work. It's time and experience and probably student loans and equipment and people. And under capitalism, work must either be done in the service of profit or else it doesn't get done. To expect artists alone to suffer for the purity of their craft and do everything they do for free is perverse.

Although you are correct - AI will put a lot of those people out of business. But not because they let themselves be tainted by commercialism. Rather the opposite, because commerce no longer finds value in the artist.
The valedictorian in my highschool class was the second or third fastest guy on my swim team, and I remember him.

But being remembered isn't the point. Which team won a swim meet was never a big deal to us, most people didn't care at all and were trying to beat their own personal records. Personal improvement was the focus, not fame or medals. With relay events there was more pressure to perform, but only relatively so.

That is exactly what people who call non-OSI-approved licenses “Open Source” are doing.

I don't know if it is the case for the fixes pulumi sent, but for PRs I've made to terraform providers it can take a very long time for them to be looked at, and even longer to get merged. And I think it is mostly from nor having enough resources to approve and merge PRs. Although that could possibly be fixed by inviting developers outside the company to help with approval and merging, especially for providers.

Oh, I absolutely agree that tuition is much higher than it needs to be in universities across the world. The reason is also quite clear. Administrative staff has increased way too much, and universities also provide services that should in principle be provided by the government or larger society.

The correct answer is to this is to cut that administrative staff and reduce tuition. Not to redirect money towards easy classes.

But there is a larger issue here.

> The students are paying plenty of tuition. Why shouldn't they get the courses they want?

Universities are institutions for providing credentials [1]. Students cannot be the party who should decide what courses are offered, because there is a clear conflict of interest. If you work at a universities, you will see that students naturally and constantly advocate for easier passing requirements and courses. The same way you don't want your trainee electrician at the vocational school to have a say in whether they get to take the safety courses or not,

* you don't want your trainee software engineers at the university to have a say in which math courses they will need, and
* you don't want your English majors at the university to decide they would rather take the course on Twilight rather than the one on Shakespeare.

What courses should be offered should be decided by professors in collaboration with industry professionals. Not students who often don't know what is good for them long term. What should be provided to students before enrolling at the university is complete information about what courses are part of the program and why, and the students can decide up front whether the program is for them.

The above is not a blanket defense of universities in any way. I left academia because I think it is broken, but not for the reasons your comments postulate.

[1] Besides the necessary education of society. I also strongly believe there is space in society for educational institutions that don't provide test based credentials, but those cannot replace universities.

When I was a kid my father gave me a copy of "Music for the Native Americans"[0], an album he put together in collaboration with several Native American artists as a soundtrack for a documentary. It's my favorite album ever written.

Voluntarily not raised A rounds. What do people think happens if you don't raise after YC? YC isn't a conventional VC firm. They don't take board seats. They don't need you to shoot the moon (they'd like it if you do, but they're not structurally dependent on it). They are in fact pretty chill about you going on to bootstrap after your batch wraps up.

I'd like to point out that SUSE has never made their source code as available as Red Hat, even after the changes that caused all the drama. The only way to get SLES source code is to sign up for a 90-day evaluation or request it by mail, whereas signing up for a free Red Hat account gives you full access indefinitely. Yet they accuse Red Hat of hurting the open source community by...operating the same way they've always done?
