I think this idea hurts the industry. Don't get me wrong. I think it is important to hire the right people, but if you don't hire enough people this 3 man job is 80-100 hours a week per for months to years.

Look how X has diminished in quality as Elon started slashing team sizes.

Then when you design more features, security and other various systems to serve the customers it will creep in complexity. You can not escape that no matter what you do.
mohrs law has been dramatically outpaced in the last 6 months are you serious?

Factorio was inspired by minecraft tech modpacks, so that tracks.
So you’re ok with the company that sells it to you not being able to fix it and dropping support, but the company that provides repair services up to 7 years and battery replacements for Macs up to 10 years is somehow worse than that because they refuse to provide access to parts to third party repair shops that don’t join their program?

Again let me recap here:

- company that drops support, with no access to parts at all
- company that provides support for almost a decade and limited access to parts

And somehow you see that and say that the first one is better?

Nuts.
You can't just re-license intellectual property that someone owns the rights to. EVEN if you authored originally. It's likely Box and Uber own rights to different parts of the IP, under both employment law, and his employment contract.

HTML and CSS is the fundamentals of web development.

Networked systems development is different than web dev!
Thank you! I think you're so right and I used that spirit to launch Gumtrends. I was worried about the reaction of people (about bugs, the scraping, missing features) but I'm so happy I launched anyway.

Is there some way to donate money to LibGen? Anyone who is hurting Pearson is a friend of college students.
That's because that code wasn't in use, so there's no lost business.
It's more important to keep the number of features low. Good devs talk about aligning the architecture to requirements, and that sometimes includes microservices.
They’ll provide service on any Apple device for up to 7 years, provided parts are available.

Before switching to hybrids, I literally spend thousands of euros fixing my VW diesel that was worth maybe 10k€.

The dual-mass flywheel broke, that was 1k€. Had to do a clutch repair at the same time, 700€. The turbo started acting up, that was around a grand with all the labour. When the turbo was fixed, it clogged the already close to full diesel particulate filter. That would've been 2000€ to replace, but I knew a guy who just emptied the casing and modded the software on the car to think it was still there.

Finally a tiny hexagonal thing at the bottom of the engine broke, which prevented any oil from circulating in the engine. That would've been a 2000€ operation. Had my guy do a quick patch job with some bonding agent, sold the car.

...and that's on top of the normal wear and tear + yearly oil changes etc.

The car was under 10 years old at the time and 90% of the problems were issues with the overly complex drivetrain with thousands of moving parts, instead of just one like with electric engines.

On the hybrids I owned all the issues were in the combustion engine. On my current EV all the problems are unrelated to the drivetrain - currently the AC can't hold its coolant for more than 6 months, haven't found the leak yet.
Googling without the quotes tends to be very sexual, so perhaps there is some filtering there.
You talk as if monolithic apps are vastly superior. To be forward it depends entirely on the purpose and life of the application. It is about whatever shoe fits the design.
Harvard Business Services has a mail forwarding service that includes junk mail filtering and it works. They even scan the mail and send it via email which means you have access to legitimate mail wherever you are. You can then request the original hard copy to be forwarded if needed.

Even if none of the above were true and they blindly forwarded all mail, it would still be helpful because at any time you could stop the mail forwarding without stopping all mail at your real address. So for example, if you got overwhelmed with junk mail from your forwarded address, you could just stop the mail forwarding service and your family would still be able to send you mail directly. It’s similar to Apple’s Hide My Email but for snail mail. When you want to disassociate from an address, you just delete it.

Now, of course, as with most things in life, this can be used for good or for evil. Anonymity both causes and solves problems. The question is, is it a human right? I believe it should be, but maybe not if you hold certain positions of power. Defining that is tricky, though.

I think most people would trade in their anonymity for fortune or fame, at least until they had experienced it, but not everyone would.
This is true. I completely agree with the minimized scope. However a dev needs to be careful to not let their service just sit unmaintained. New teams will always need engineers to maintain and improve.
I know we're a bunch of freeloaders, but YouTube premium is right there.
Instagram engineers themself wrote a bit about their backend infrastructure. One of the more important topics was how they shard the data [0] and this is also linked to in this blog post.

Not the previous poster, and I don't use Kopia, but after reading Kopia features and docs, they seem to be in par. I use Duplicati quite extensively for personal backups, and didn't really have any issues.

Duplicati has a web interface, so with a proper authentication in place, you can use it to remotely monitor and manage backups.

Duplicati doesn't keep a local cache. It uses SQLite files for file meta data, but not for the content themselves.

I like Duplicati's snapshotting mechanism. You can specify how long or how many snapshots to keep, and my anecdotal evidence is that it's archival storage-friendly. I imagine S3 and it's lifetime management rules can bring a decent and cost effective backup solution.

I'm using Google Drive 2TB plan, and I didn't see Kopia supporting Google drive out of the box.
If you are using Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, try switching it off or using another DNS resolver. There are reported issues with archive.md blocking access from 1.1.1.1
Well, a lovely management system, basically. One can run and edit Docker Compose configurations in the browser, see everything that’s running, manage environment variables and see the logs. I mean, having written all that, I’m wondering why I don’t run it on my Mac instead of Docker Desktop.
One thing I regret is not taking a copy of the code I wrote for another company, so many handy little utility functions I made that I then had to recreate. The transaction costs for b2b are far too high for any reasonable sale, so exfiltration is the utilitarian choice.

“Product Manager to Founder” eBook
Hey! I made an ebook for PMs looking to start their first business. It's not a "build a unicorn" book, but rather the approach for you to start trying side projects and small one-person gigs and getting their hands dirty.

Please feel free to leave a feedback, I'll try to address it and update the book.
> I want to see it explicitly put into a computational model that runs on live data.

I _also_ want to see it. But I do not want to build it, since it seems incredibly boring.
You can use any language you like for your pet project with a single contributor, but there are more considerations if you want to have/move a team to that language in business environment.
Isn't the Dutch language requirement, which is codified as an eligibility criteria, already intended to create an underclass of residents?

I think it is morally justifiable as a residency requirement, but not justifiable to let people live there without being able to receive government support.

I think it's a situation where the government want to be racist or at least xenophobic, the citizens agree, but the law prevents them. Accenture was drafted in to get around the law.
The Sound Proof Booths of Silence
> If a consumer will still buy the item when properly informed of the lower value, then this apparent labeling should not have any effect on sales.

If it looks different, consumers might not know it's the same thing just smaller. E.g. if I buy a box of Celebrations, I know what each little sweet is because it shares the same packaging as its normal-sized equivalents. I know it's smaller because...it's smaller.
That’s quite cool, I might add that. I did set up E-Mail watching using an iCloud account and it’s working well too. Must go donate some money to the Paperless team!
At sufficiently large scale we should be able to model certain personalities though.
That’s odd because the the brand of WFH that most people
I’ve met want is identical to what they do in the office sans the commute. That being that they hop onto a zoom meeting with people who are in other physical locations or they are working independently and the office is just a distraction.

Another commenter mentioned that people were setting up a straw man against your words but I can’t agree. You keep implying that it’s rational for c levels to be working remote and then implying that regular employees only want wfh because they are just anti social.

Your comments are heavily biased with one viewpoint and I heartily disagree with it
I have noticed absolutely no difference with Twitter/X. I am a casual user, sure, but for me it seems to work well.
Seems like it uses a simple equation:

Money in the US traces back to redlining, racist deeds, racist lending criteria, white areas enforced with mob violence etc. Money is just the modern legal way of carrying over past discrimination.
The argument _for_ the exemption is that it will allow them to join the workforce and contribute to the economy, instead of staying in the yeshiva (which is currently a condition necessary to get the _current_ exemption, and which I think also furthers cements into the orthodox lifestyle). I wonder whether this argument can be tested before the exemption is actually given.
I'm not really sure how EssilorLuxottica is relevant to questions of digital markets, but I do agree that the US should break them up (at least in the US market).

Not really.

The current approach is to try and find an antigen on the herpes virus that the virus can't stop the immune system from recognizing.

Or use antivirals to stop the reproduction process, and the virus eventually dies. That's the approach with hepatitis C.

owncloud, offline. will back it up once a year or so as well. thought about sending it to Veracrypt and sticking it on a cloud somewhere just in case, but I dont think I have to.

Google Stack (no backups enabled) is great for paper > PDF, then I use a tool for Android called FolderSync Pro to send everything on my phone to a folder on my local network. Once a month or so I organize it. Thought about automating this a bit more but I hate having to spend time while going about my day naming/tagging files.

as far as retaining things, inside each folder I just make an "archive" folder where I stick things that get to be too old. definitely don't overthink the system or it'll turn into a full time job :-)
It’s not though. You also can’t use llama to train models other than llama!

It restricts non commercial use in that way as well.

If I wanted to optimize an application for speed, for example, and fine tune a T5 model on some text, I’m unable to generate that text from any llama derived model.

Really I don’t have a problem with the license. Just with everyone calling llama and derived models “the best open source models.”

Falcon deserves that love as it’s actually open source.
Twitter most likely hasn't been able to retain the "right" people.
I’ve been working from home for years. I leave the house and interact with real humans in person all the time. Sometimes I interact with real humans in person at home!

You go looking outside offices, it turns out there’re people everywhere. Who knew?
Having only 3 people forces you to be very judicious about what you do. For most companies that’s a good thing.
That’s still just theft if you’re not a contractor? Full time software employees are doing work for hire. There’s plenty of moral and ideological arguments about theft being morally acceptable in this situation but I was more marveling at the people who thought that taking source code from their company was legally not theft
I use ZFS + Sanoid + Syncoid locally and Borg + Borgmatic + BorgBase for offsite.
They're looking at average speeds seen in the dataset of the users of their speed-test app. So the idea is instead of looking at peak speeds in good conditions, looking at actual speeds in real-life conditions, to see how well the modem deals with cell selection, poor reception, congested networks, etc.

That said, the phone isn't out yet? Where is this data coming from? If it's all staff at Apple Campus that's not going to be a realistic comparison.
> Look how X has diminished in quality as Elon started slashing team sizes.

He had a point there though: He said that there seem to be "3 managers 'managing' one engineer", and I believe this is a common problem in the industry. VC-funded startups are terribly overstaffed and over-inflated.
Same reason anyone leaves any other job!
I've enjoyed trying to use Deno for a small new service at $WORK. Sadly had to give up and retreat back to Node due to missing support for private NPM repositories and lack of Datadog tracing support.

Their compatibility is getting better and better, so I'm confident Deno will eventually be a clear "better Node".
Sure. It’s just that 99% of applications work fine (or better) as a monolithic design.
Stories like this kind of make sense to me. 3 people is very few but I guess they really knew what they are doing.

Meanwhile, all these orgs with essentially a CRUD app, with 1,000s of engineers..? That I never understood.
Hydrogen doesn't work with pipelines, the molecule size is too small. The losses would be uneconomical and possibly dangerous.

Currently the grid over here is producing 17g of CO2/kWh, pretty much 90-95% is either nuclear or renewables. We're also exporting a portion of our excess to neighbouring countries.

The fact that Americans can't modernise their grid doesn't apply to the whole world, you see.
There are so many of them, and they are in fact so successful, that a Knesset MP _suggested_ passing a law that will make it criminally illegal to elicit orthodox jews to leave the religion! Link: https://www.maariv.co.il/news/israel/Article-991752
That isn't how ownership works.
If it wasn't just an image site the potential for hotspotting would be insane!

Size isn't a bad thing anymore since price has dropped exponentially since the inception of Instagram.

I am positive they would use another modern technology today if it was present in the past.

Fantastic read though.
Should've added more detail to my post but the reason I want to do this is less to become more productive and more to become sane - I'm trying to create a robust system to make sure I meditate, exercise and work on health issues every day.

It probably isn't far off to describe my struggle to manage these as mental illness rather than a productivity hurdle
Instagram engineers found some remarkable simple solutions to some hard problems. It's not easy to come up with these solutions. Designing the IDs for example is no small feat, but since this is now common knowledge it's probably not too hard to build a similar system.

To get traction from users is the real challenge.

1.44 MB floppy read times might prevent sub-5-second boots to a GUI, though. I can’t really remember how fast things like that booted from a floppy, anymore.
Not engineer driven orgs _and_ their product people don’t know how to drive the product or set requirements, or engineer driven by the type of engineers who love to tinker without making any real progress business wise
FYI the edit might have made it more confusing, since there's a double negative now. "don't believe you can't actually own code" reads as "believe you can actually own code", which I'm not sure is what you were going for.

The thing that surprised me about burnt coffee beans is that people assume that the heavier the taste the more caffeine is there and that’s not true of over-roasting. It’s less available caffeine, not more. So it tastes terrible for no practical reason.
Yes, you can hide with a little bit of effort. Port knocking or Tor will stop almost any thing (but don't rely on it as the sole protection, just as another layer).

I like to prefix anything "I don't want scraped" with a random prefix, like domain.com/kwo4sx_grafana/ and nobody will find it (as long as you don't link to it anywhere). But I still have auth enabled, but at least I don't have to worry about any automated attacks exploiting it before I have time to patch.

Something as simple as moving SSH on a non standard port reduces the amount of noise from most automated scanners 99% (made up number, but a lot).
Well fuck, too late to edit it again. My grammatical error shall live on forever
What's the bet everything has been mercilessly gutted for quick gains to a point where everything is now a sinking ship so instead of fleeing to the next boat the rats are leaving seafaring behind entirely.
I agree this seems fairly clearly illegal.

That said, I think OP is morally in the right here, and I wish I had the guts to do similar things.

Sharing code is a good thing. Helping one company innovate using code that another company chose to ignore is also a good thing.
But you can cause rolling blackouts at zombo.com. The only limit is yourself.
Like I’d love a falcon-cpp-python or GGML for falcon to exist, but since the community is paying more attention to llama, all the support is for that.
Maybe that’s the Open AI part of their secret sauce hallucinating subdomains?
It looks fairly standard tbh.
A lot of the heavy lifting is done by AWS. They likely didn’t start out with this exact architecture in mind, but adapted along the way. I.e. something like: The timestamped key format improved poor performance. Redis was introduced when Postgres was getting swamped. Didn’t replace the existing memcached with Redis as it worked as it should.
And ofc there surely were a ton of oddities/ issues with their AWS setup that they spent time
fixing. The nginx description is a bit vague, but could be some “hack” to work around some ELB scaling behavior that wasn’t to their liking.
This is true, in theory. However when we attempted to deploy it this way in our org, the average non-technical user was simply unable to grok the concepts of relational databases and we ended up with a complete mess that needed to be manually groomed on a regular basis.
I’ve always assumed a snapshot is no worse than power loss and that any decent database should handle it ok. Is that wrong?

> I've been at a job where we did this with Google. We had about 20 websites and 40 ad campaigns on adwords for fake companies where you could buy used dirty dishes. We wanted a topic that would have zero real-world results aside from us so we could easily compare our hypotheses and someone suggested pre-dirtied dishes. It was hilarious and had almost no search results so we went with that.

But... is that manipulation or genuine optimization? I mean, if there were people who wanted dirty dishes, and you were selling them, then helping Google help dirty-dish searchers find you is making Google better (and overall making the world a better place).

SEO is a problem when it causes mediocre, crappy, or completely irrelevant sites to be promoted over actually good sites.

When Levi’s moved to Mexico it wasn’t that the sizes got smaller, it was that they got inconsistent. Before I started shopping around for more responsible brands, I enjoyed the privilege of being able to walk into a department store and simply buy jeans based on the label. No dressing room. After I had three pairs of the same sized jeans that varied from uncomfortable to comfortable. Tolerances matter.
there has been a large initiative recently for YouTube to stop playing nicely with adblockers. I'm begrudgingly paying for yt premium
Depends on the purpose of the application though. Monolithic is a good architecture when you have a few purposeful features and functions.

But when your design relies on many services to provide a wide variety of features you need to break out this design to allow teams to operate independently.

Mini monoliths are more popular today than traditional monoliths of the old.
I think the interesting "what happened" is about the consequences - has there been some objective drop in uptime/performance/errors or some other technical metric?
Sure, but they weren’t sueing a rock.

Getting a judgement against an individual is vanishingly unlikely to result in any profits.
I suppose the theory is that if they exempted all businesses with paid employees and actual premises, someone might simply set up their shell company with an employee or two. 20 is probably too high a burden for all but the most dedicated crooks.
scale8 recently archived their GitHub repo without explanation and right after that the url for a GDPR opt-in list they were using changed. The product is now dead because the code doesn't handle the situation where that file might not be available.

Tried searching for Unity Software Inc however it doesn't seem to have scraped any data.

I get so sick of this exnential growth requirement. The only things in nature that grow exponentially kill their host with time. Many stable things follow a sigmoid curve which can look and feel exponential for a while but true exponential is death incarnate.
