The implicit contract of GitHub and the developer community is that they host open source projects for free, provide a feature-rich and professional interface, in exchange for developers to push their enterprise subscription at the developers' organizations.

This shouldn't be spelled out, I'm sure that GitHub knows better, but they are just playing the dumb card now and hope to nudge the community to accept this round of good will burning before they start the next.

Downloading is the easy part. Its finding those files again after 20 years of disk and system migrations that the hard part. I think those stacks of cds with lables written in now running marker ink are the most identifiable, but i dont have a disc drive anymore.
Go is a great language, revolutionary, I would say.

Yeah, you'd expect the tech giants to accumulate experience, but they seem to be the prime victims (and perpetrators) of the career progression treadmill that's keeping the industry forever stuck at junior level - i.e. it's the junior SEs that do actual work; as soon as they become barely competent at their jobs, they get promoted and told to spend time "communicating with stakeholders" and teaching the next batch of juniors.
Isn't being cross-platform, relatively modern-looking and open source already setting it apart from the current offerings?

There's great ones (like Foliate or Moon+) which are limited to one platform, there's ones that are cross-platform, but look so dated that I couldn't seriously use them for reading (like the one integrated in Calibre), and there's ones which are both fairly modern-looking and cross-platform, but not open source (like FBReader).

If this one syncs my books, reading positions, and highlights across my devices, that's gonna be a huge win in my book.
oh no :(. I wonder if those are hosted elsewhere…
Glitch just sits on two sides of the extreme. It's either too early in the investigation to call it anything else or it's after the investigation and there's not enough knowledge of the stack consisting of people, software, hardware (electrical, mechanical), and physics to figure it out.
Back in 2003 I was a kid (21) posted to Cold Lake, and during the Maple Flag exercise there was a crash, a pilot was killed. A bunch of us were tasked with getting all the random kit - tents/cots/jerry cans/etc. together for a retrieval / investigation, it was just .. dunno. Then seeing the 'missing man formation'.

It's all like fiction until it isn't.
This is a crazy good performance!
implying what? that "workers" can't start something?

Technically if there's no company yet there is nowhere to work and thus no workers. You need "founders" to get the company started for there even to be workers. Now those people have to decide if they want to never hire anybody new, 'give away' a a piece of 'their' company each time they hire, or give up on the worker-owned idea all together.

Of course most "founders" used to be "workers" and often become "workers" again after the company is founded, but the act of founding a company is fundamentally different from the act of working at a company
I'm always wondering who is writing these articles about Germany and why. They criticize Europe in general, but the main focus seems to be on Germany.
Hey!

Thank you for the feedback! Could you please elaborate on the issues that you are facing? We have quite a few multi-user cases both on the managed and self-hosted version with no issues.

Thank you!
I completely agree.

Cost of digital storage has just completely plummeted, and keeping stuff organized, even remotely, really makes for enjoyable rediscovery.

Even the mediocre stuff is nice to go through if it's sorted.

Old photos, videos and other original content is the best stuff to save for when you're older.
Reminds me of my old college lecturer.

They don't, I'm not allowed access to the 32k GPT-4 model at all.
I keep waiting for the EU ato notice this and ban data collection on TVs, but they clearly have their “digital” priorities skewed.
Maybe for the investors who (intend to) sell all of their stock in the IPO, but surely a founder/CEO has both emotional and financial reasons to ensure the continued survival of the company?
So just to play devil's advocate: is it really that much more work to build something entirely new in Tauri than to just do the porting work for releasing a GTK app on Windows/macOS?

There are no bots are there? I wonder if it predated Source's bot/plugin support.
People might tolerate some inconvenience if there are rational reasons for it to exist.

Sitting on a road is a publicity stunt. If it doesn’t have the imagined effect isn’t wouldn’t it be counterproductive?
Hey folks, so Terraform did a thing. They changed their license type, and a lot of people aren't too happy about it. There's this OpenTF Manifesto now where people are speaking up about wanting Terraform to be truly open-source again. Some are even thinking of making a new version if HashiCorp doesn't switch back. Just a heads up for anyone using or thinking of using Terraform
Why cant they hire non share packaged employees? Why do they have to shrink their pie?

How many non-owner workers can you have before you stop being worker-owned? If four workers own 25% of the shares each, and the company employs 400 (or 4000) people are they still "worker-owned" in any meaningful sense?
They probably just call the public API same as everyone else using it outside Microsoft.

The exclusive license refers to having access to the models, which is probably why they were able to finetune Bing AI.
Or understanding what the they are.

Indeed at times it does feel that the old Internet is dying from link rot. I've recently ventured into modding the original (not enhanced) Infinity Engine games, and many of the utilities and tools used have been lost to the ether.
I’ve been talking about the same thing at my place. I think it makes a ton of sense and then can kill logs almost completely
Are you using Copilot though? It's one thing to talk to GPT4 and another to use Copilot with inline autocompletions.
no, just a play on "benevolent dictator for life" - my contention is if the situation calls for a "dictator" who can make decisions fast and unilaterally, that could as well be a job as a position of power.
First and for most you can only have one sub chart layer in helm. So if you want to setup a full environment replica on your local machine using your production helm charts, which might already have chart dependencies you cannot use another wrapper helm chart at the top. As helm does not have sub-sub-dependency / recursive resolution. Furthermore, helm compose allows for FULL configuration as code. With helm you always have define some parameters in the command line like the correct namespace, release name and chart name and chart version with helm compose you just write: "helm compose up". Obviously, that can be solved by aliases but this way truly everything is kept inside a configuration file.
Similarly I don't use the feature. There are features I feel incredibly strongly about so I do understand the sentiment a bit.

For me it's searchable local history and searchable recent locations- both jetbrains features that vscode falls flat on.

Native stack-based clipboard is up there, but there is a vscode plugin.

With those three features I can do what I think of as "fearless development" where I can just delete / change things without a second thought, easily able to undo/find old changes without needing to micro manage.
A book, but you may find useful to be able to write short texts in Braille also so you can fix embossed tags and notes in parts of the house to help when you aren't around.

TeX/LaTeX can write braille (that you can later print with a braille printer).
The author never stated it was open sourced when the early access binaries were released.

They were released 2 days before the source. It was just an early access thing.
Curious about how the business responds to workers leaving/joining. I expect that a worker wanting to leave needs to find someone to buy in, and the new worker has to be approved by the collective. This sounds like a recipe for inflexible departure.

Next, expansion. I expect expansion is a tricky proposition because it means dilution, which is both a hard sell and a risk to the workers.
I do enjoy writing boilerplate code. It’s like a form of meditation for me. It allows me to think about big picture things without being distracted by running thoughts.
If your language is too simplistic, essential complexity will just live in your ad hoc program instead, which is objectively worse. Especially that you will realize it later that you are missing some core utils and have to patch it up (e.g. generics in case of go).

There are dynamic languages with zero compile times, but Java builds just as fast for me as Go and it is a much more expressive language than Go, which is a shame.
Well, there are things like universal health care and strong worker's rights in Europe, so you can't really let people think too positively about it.

At least, that's what the cynic in me thinks.
FTFY: here’s a nature’s nature article on nature (pun intended) [0]. There’s 4 main definition which are exclusive to each others and guess what, your “fix” is within the same definition as GP:

> The whole universe, as it is the place, the source and the result of material phenomena (including man or at least man’s body)

Furthermore I think his point wasn’t about the definition of nature but instead going further on the classic argument “nature will be fine”. Of course universe will always be fine! But your descend may not be part of it. So yes, we should preserve the current equilibrium to preserve ourselves and that’s what this article is all about.

Spooks.
I find this as the least disagreeable road block protest in history. Blocking people going to somewhere they don't need to. Seems entirely reasonable mode of protest.

It is not like they stop people who need to go to work to make living or ambulances with patients inside.
I suspect one aspect is a sort of "generational gap". In the 2010's a lot of new languages were created by younger people who wanted to put their own language on the tracks: NiM, Zig, Odin, to name a few.

Similarly, a second aspect is that other new languages raised, but not in the "cool- kid" category, this time rather in the "big-company-backed" one: Go, Rust.

In both case : more concurrency, less seats.

To season the salad you can add a few errors in the leadership, too much time to create a real organization, the missing "killer-app" too ?, etc.

When I first learned webdev some two decades ago, we had a site in Poland called "Osiołki Internetu" - "Internet's Asses" (as in donkeys). It documented particularly egregious cases of bad design, bad UX, and non-compliance with web standards (which were a hot thing back then; people used to proudly display HTML validation results as if they were medals of honor). All those websites featured on Osiołki were cases of some webdevs not knowing better (or not caring) - i.e. mistakes in the art. It dawned on me recently that, should a site like this exist today, most cases of webdev malpractice would be intentional - the so-called "dark patterns". The website would thus be documenting the other kind of Internet asses.

I read this quite a bit on the r/DataHoarder subreddit, where users obtain vast amounts of all-in-one content (such as archival projects, piracy, etc) and the data isn't sufficiently organized/cataloged and it becomes too overwhelming to where they feel freed without it. (Granted the subreddit is named Data Hoarder and the focus is often grabbing volumes of data before it disappears).

What helps for sure is like you mentioned in taking things at a more curated pace, where one can organize individual pieces of content at the time it's encountered (eg: saving a web page locally you want to refer/link back to in the future, or buying some music when one likes it and properly/consistently tagging it).

I have tens of thousands of web pages saved for example and it's a wonderful resource as search engines have become poorer for many results and sites/pages disappear. Due to the habits formed over time with filenaming/organization it's also super quick to find resources locally.

The person meant "simple" and not "minimal". I have been trying to use these two words properly as well. We use these 2 words interchangeably without realising the one doesn't mean the other.

But also, this is Tauri based, so from author's POV, definitely minimal than electronjs right? ;)
Because LCD screens have a minimum brightness, and white-on-black lets you slightly lower that threshold if you're e.g. reading in bed on your phone at night with the lights off, and want to take the brightness as low as possible.
That difference doesn’t matter at all in the real world.
Yes, you're right that I have not worked with Copilot. But, I'm not afraid of it and am currently trying to run Code Llama locally. Am definitely looking forward to learn more.

Having said that, I have seen contradictory statements on how people are using these, or see themselves using these.

One is the way you mentioned, completing line or perhaps writing complete functions given a prompt. However, people, including in this thread, have talked about working in new frameworks etc. which implies to me that they are probably using copilot to generate much of the code. I have had conversation with non-Engineers (read Product Manager types), who are using it to generate code and write applications. And, that is the situation I was referring to becoming a maintenance nightmare.

The way I see it, it's just a tool. It can be great in the hands of an experienced programmer, but might become a deadly weapon in the hands of a novice.
I don't see the most important format right now... .kfx :(

I'd avoid the use of the word crutch, it sounds ableist as fuck; my girlfriend has a joint disease and relies on a crutch to walk. In other words, while I understand it's just a figure of speech: how dare you.

It's a tool that can help, just like an IDE, code generators, code formatters, etc. No need to talk down on it in that fashion, and there's no need to look down your nose at tools or the people that use it.
Regardless of how they behaved towards us in the more distant and very recent past, I still hope there's a way out of that, and I will not be the one to start the war. It's not my desire to portray HashiCorp in a bad light, and I much prefer the perception to be shaped by what we can and will accomplish as OpenTF.
This is a laudable effort, but maybe the Pixel team should first focus on feature updates not completely messing up their phones for months at a time?

Owning a Pixel 4a has been great until the first major Android update, which made the "Adaptive battery" feature discharge the phone within two hours in standby. The fix didn't come for more then a year (!). A very similar thing then repeated with the next major update. One would think buying a phone from the main developer of the OS would come with more stability, reliability, and attention to detail, considering the argument of "oh, but it has to support a hundreds of thousands of phone models, not just 3 a year like Apple" is moot.

What good does 8 years of support do if the phone is borked after 3?
I think this is the issue. Starting a company is a lot riskier than working at one. To do that you usually need capital and/or someone who is willing to work their ass off for peanuts for a couple of years. The only reason people will take risks is for outsized returns.
Unless of course a random solar flare comes and flips a bit. ;)
> in my experience at about 3 years you are looking at roughly 1000 charging cycles and so the battery will barely last 12 hours.

Depends on how you use it. I usually don't drain more than roughly 10% a day. I don't use my phone if I have a pc handy (which is most of the time). If I'm at the office or at home (which is most of the time) the phone will stay plugged-in.

1000 cycles in 3 years is almost a full cycle a day. It may have happened maybe once to me to use that much battery (I was using it as a GPS with no external power). Hell, my current phone's battery went down to like 40% after a long weekend away when I forgot to bring my charger.

So I guess I'm like your example. And the reason is that I use my mobile phone while out and about. Turns out, I don't go out much. Yes, I'm careful with it, but don't have it wrapped in a huge case. It only had a thin silicone case because the iPhone 7 was extremely slippery. It spent countless miles attached to my motorbike's handlebars in the sun and rain, doing GPS duty. When I stopped using it because the battery was starting to bulge, it was still otherwise looking brand new and the performance was still enough for my needs.

Don't know of any feature phone able to do that.
From other comments, it doesn't seem the organisation is willing to adopt the right tools, naturally one gets what one doesn't pay for.
Well I think that could track because you could have a neglectful AND abusive household. Probably pretty common actually, in the set of bad places to grow up.
autofree is not reference counting, and it's marked as "not production ready yet" on the website.
Anyone who can't figure out how to become more efficient with the aid of LLMs is a dinosaur.
>Surely nobody is reading entire books on a laptop screen?

You'd think so, but e-readers (hardware) cost more than $0. Plus, phones are more commonly pocket-carried than ereaders (hardware) given that most ereaders (hardware) don't fit in your pocket, and most people don't buy multiple ereaders (hardware).
Not sure that an old shipwreck rusting away is an important treasure that needs to be preserved. Yeah, it's cool. Yeah, fishing will damage it. OK, whatever.
Isn't this all a bit overcomplicated? The core of the product is text which concurrently might be only accessed by a few clients since it's enterprise software? While overall it might be billions of requests I have worked on large systems in the past approaching that number on very few beefy servers with latency of around half a second average around the world when you don't need concurrent access.

Edit: reading the article again I wonder how much of this is a self fulfilling loop caused by building on AWS using a bunch of services. The bot traffic might be significant. Although Telegram handles much more traffic than Slack and feels far faster when it comes to both bots and non bot communications.

Not sure. Would be interesting to update the article on "why" any of this is needed in the first place. What was failing etc.

I mean I'm not sure if you mean a super extreme version of those, but yeah, any version of those causes suffering.
Why would this have to be related to a theoretical SBC product?

Switched to iPhone since I did not want to throw away another perfectly fine phone because of lacking security updates.

Had a Nokia 8 before and would still have it if Nokia kept supporting it. Some things (e.g. Keyboard, VPN integration) were superior to my new iPhone.
