I've been working on a disk cleanup tool tailored specifically for developers. The idea is to help devs reclaim disk space by intelligently identifying and removing old, unused project files, node_modules folders, docker containers, vm images, caches etc.

I'm currently in the design phase and would love to get feedback on the concept, especially from those who've faced disk space issues due to development projects.
After watching small creatures for awhile (insects/fish/birds), one will become rather aware there is a lot more going on than first assumed.

Bee hives in particular have collective temperaments, and being around a group everyday for awhile changes how they perceive your presence. For example, those who carelessly crush too many workers, will have their body odor associated with a threat. Accordingly, one may find your proximity to the hives will not be tolerated for the season.

There were studies which tried to inject fake food-source location data into bee dances, and it showed even simple individual insects could distinguish nonsense.

It is arrogant to apply our own emotional constructs onto these creatures, but one should certainly respect the fact they are alive and understand the world in their own way.

Note, the bees can teach you a lot about resource management in complex distributed systems. In a way, the 1U rack standard could be seen as the IT hive cell structure.

"Bee" good to each other, =)

Bullshit. I grew up in these spaces too. I remember people spamming the n-word, harassing women until they quit the game, and spraying goatse and CSAM on the wall. It was, in retrospect, a disgusting pigsty. The only reprieve was community servers where assholes were not tolerated, but it was an endless battle against the rising tide.
> posting or hosting, once the article is written, it’s all rent seeking.

That almost makes sense in a non-digitized world. I.e. It’s not rent seeking to sell newspapers, because each newspaper costs money and takes work to make - but in a digitized world, you’re essentially saying any profiting off content is “rent seeking”. Like if I make a video course teaching a skill and I try to sell it, that’s rent seeking? Seems like that waters the concept of rent seeking down to the point of uselessness.

In the 90s, the small town I lived in had a local community triple action principle. This was demonstrated on a little shit that had a noisy Renault 5 that used to get revved up all the time for no reason (between begging for £5 worth of fuel at the petrol station to keep it alive).

The first time he pissed someone off, it cost him a new tyre with a warning posted under the windscreen wiper, the second time it cost him a windscreen and a tyre. The third time the car had to be scraped off the road with a pick axe after being torched. The police saw nothing and did not do anything about it because they were happy with the outcome.
Now that I think of it: that would a very nice use of an LLM: some proxy where I put an RSS into, and that publishes a modified RSS feed where the <description> is then replaced with a very short summary of the original description.

OK. Can we also start hitting human drivers with these kinds of fines?
Valencia (the Main Street of the mission) has had a recent redesign to have a protected bicycle lane down the middle of the road. Think a road with a median, but with only rubber bumpers separating the car and bike lanes.

A few weeks ago a cruise cab stopped on to pick someone up and caused a major traffic back log. The response from the human drivers was to just drive in the bike lane to get around the stopped car.

The future is weird man.

"not as the construct we have created to represent the wishes and needs of the people and society."

Does the government actually do that?
I do agree. It's one of the reasons why I've sold that bike several years ago.

But I very much doubt this was done on purpose. This was not an "iconic" street by any means, just a random street of no particular interest, with close to no traffic, pedestrian or vehicle. Such "iconic" streets do exist, and they usually have specific road rules where people are allowed to walk in the middle of street and cars are expected to avoid them (the streets) as much as possible. This was no such street.

Plus, they were already walking down the middle of the road much before I was close to them. I've also seen other people do the same even with no vehicle in sight, in this or other similar streets. This is also a problem for bicycles, which also have to ride in the street and aren't exactly a source of annoying noise.

Ah, thanks for the info about the hub.

Mission street is an obvious “artery” to drive up and down looking for people and going too/from a hub.

I also suspect the bus lanes help in a way. Just go with the flow in the single car lane.

> They respond to them more quickly, they're willing to explain misconceptions, and so on. They just don't think it's because of communication style.

Dropping a follow-up comment for future data scientists:

Take a closer look at this one! Possible outlier. Check out how the root thread hasn’t really risen to the top of the list — that usually means a lot of people didn’t like the form of it, or disagreed with its self-referential opinion.

And but so also check out your sentiment scores on this thread— the grandparent is overtly a bit snide, not in a mean spirited way, but just really not agreeing with the root’s thesis that this advice leads to more productive engagement. Make sure you scored that correctly!

Then, what does your sentiment analysis have to say about the engagement here as compared to other threads? I have a prediction, obviously, and if I’m still around I’d love to read the paper :)
Sorry, but the idea that Facebook, or even Meta generally, has a monopoly on communication is absurd on its face.
I acknowledged that "public safety" would be a sticking point.

But I think it's not naive to believe that new laws might have unintended consequences that need to be addressed in amendments or follow-up laws. A generous view of what is happening now is exactly that: a wild fire revealed an unintended consequence.

Why though is the only alternative to let the corporations Do As Thou Wilt?

Finally. Loud cars are one of the biggest "silent" contributors to health risks and climate change. Loud vehicles are tightly coupled with excess speed and acceleration as well. People want to "show off" their rides. Sacrificing the health of those that surround them while they make as much noise as possible.

Think about it. Windows open you suddenly get jolted out of bed when a car flies by that has been modified to produce more noise to boost someone's ego. Moreover the excess tire exhaust and vehicle exhaust from rapid acceleration causes respiratory issues.

About climate change? Of course this causes more climate change. People are forced to close their windows and use conditioned air because of the noise outside. So many summer nights people can't open their windows near streets because of the noise modified vehicles cause.

The same noise and pollution issues apply when you're driving next to them as well. You have to close your windows in case your kids are sleeping or you are trying to listen to something then one of these noise attention seekers comes by who thinks they are awesome and wants you to pay attention to them. Their car is loud, and he or she needs that attention.

It's ridiculous. Its a waste of taxpayers money due to elevated health risks and its a waste of energy because people are forced to close their windows while driving or at home.

Falling asleep with noise might be difficult for some.

Also, some people have parters in the room where they sleep and the noise might bother them as well.

>In other news, all of the WDRed CMR drives in my ZFS array started throwing read errors simultaneously so I've ripped them all out.

I don't get it, is the implication that them showing errors at time should be a freak occurrence, and such an occurrence means that WD drives are low quality? Drive failures are more correlated than you think. If you bought and installed the drives at the same time, such a failure case is totally expected. The drives probably came from the same batch, and experienced similar amount of wear, so it's only logical that they experienced the same failure case.
There are successful companies that this model applies to. But the problem is that they are outliers.

The biggest problem with the whole IT industry is seeing outliers promoted as the successful path and people taking on faith arguments for technical decisions instead of rational decision making processes.
Am I the only one who thinks that the term sounds far too general given the apparently narrow interpretation that's intended by it? When first seeing the word, it literally just sounded like it meant "the process of becoming shitty", and I never would have guessed that it was intended to be so specific. It seems unfortunate that the term was picked primarily for how evocative it is rather than for its clarity.

> Maybe I’m just too bitter about academia in this point in my career but it seems like we’ve run out of things to study and/or have too many people doing it.

We have certainly not run out of things to study, but I think we've hit the limit on what can effectively be communicated through traditional science journals [1], and we need to address the reproducibility crisis through open source science and reconsider the incentive structures around academia [2]. We need to oppose initiatives from people like Bill Gates who wish to privatize science through his various non-profits, as knowledge works better as as commons (we were unable to deal with the pandemic partly because Bill Gates prevented Oxford from open sourcing their work on COVID [3]). We need software that can compose scientific models [4], and organizations that can facilitate greater coordination among scientists. Science will become all the more important in an increasingly uncertain world, but are we up to the task?

When, say, a car (with or without a driver) runs out of gas on a bridge during rush hour, causing a million dollars' worth of negative economic impact and slowing down emergency vehicles, their insurance should be fined heavily and their rate should go up. If we're going to price externalities, let's do it across the board.

It's just a different culture, so it's not an active, rational decision about which way to react -- that's not how we work. My first instinct always is to refuse the offer before I really consider if I want it or not. It's built-in, it's in my bones. The polite way, not being a burden or causing extra hassle. Then with a follow-up offer I have maybe considered the circumstances and my wants a bit more and can accept if I feel so.

> You say which one you want or you get nothing. Your choice.

It doesn't work if I'm visiting you, that's for sure. It works well and without any friction in my own culture. So there's the need to be mindful of the situation and perhaps consider a bit longer before going with my instincts.

And if the worst comes to pass and you don't offer again, then maybe I'll realize our differences and just ask for that coffee after all.

This is one reason I am an opponent of microservices generally. Every organisation I've worked for is made of shit and straw bound together with a solution of piss. ergo a monolithic crap pile is were they should aim.

Plus it's easier to run a hundred monoliths than it is to run 100 services. This is on the basis that running 100 instances of something the same with no inherent complexity in each instance is much easier to automate, build and manage than 100 things that are different and have to talk to each other.

I live in outer mission and cycle Valencia street frequently.

Valencia is totally jacked for cars now. I’m often speeding down the bike lane past bumper to bumper traffic either direction.

If any car stops for pedestrians, passenger pick up or drop off, or even parallel parking in the short term spots it backs the whole lane up.

I’m not mad.

We should extend the bike lane further up and down the city.

And should move towards removing all cars from Valencia. Make it a promenade / city square only for people and bikes.

Still 35 seconds off the record time for a production car. Far off of the hybrid Mercedes-AMG ONE (~6:30).

The battery tech is still too heavy to be as fast and as nimble as ICE or hybrid (there's a balance there between torque for acceleration and energy density).

The record time was 5:19.546 in the Porsche 919 hybrid (non-production)... watching video of that run still blows my mind (I have a racing background).
