No, because I don't want my termostat to switch off, my clocks to reset, my home server to go down every time I go to the shops or have a meeting. And no, I'm not about to rewire the house to provide isolated circuits just for the things I don't want to switch off, when I could instead just replace a few light switches and plug in a few smart plugs.

I can assure you pretty much nobody goes to their fuse board and trips the main switch even when going on holiday, much less during their day to day life. Many of the people who don't do that still tend to turn off as much as possible when leaving the house.

There is definitely an argument for understanding elementary data types later on application level instead on config format, so we do not create arbitrary distinction between types on config format level and on application level, and forcing IP addresses (and other domain-specific types) to be encoded as strings.

But i do not think this is good argument for structural data types like lists, sets and so on, because M applications would use N different ways how to encode them. While a human can recognize them, it is hard to human to remember that this specific application uses that specific encoding with its own quirks.
Agree on most points, but the air conditioning thing misses a bit of nuance: it's so hot and humid here that if you left a room for a significant amount of time with no cooling, that room is likely to become uninhabitable from mold and mildew real quick.

Before I moved down here I knew that in general hot == more living things (more energy -> more plants -> more food for the not plant stuff etc), but it's crazy how fast stuff grows. If someone leaves their house for the summer and doesn't have someone come by and trim the yard then nature will reclaim their house by the time they get back.

What do you mean by originally a Ruby thing? I am curious.
Acting like Last-Modified is somehow substandard is a bit disingenuous. The If-None-Match (etag) request header takes priority over the If-Modified-Since (last-modified) request header (if both are sent), but they provide identical functionality (caching and preventing modification if out of date) and are both part of the HTTP standard.

This happened to me while trying to go to a new Tesla supercharging outfit in Seiverville, TN.

Tesla gets parts of their routes from Google Maps, and this particular route was more than happy to send me down a road that looked all but abandoned and, from what I could tell, went straight through (into?) a huge ditch.
Taking ultimate responsibility for your actions is something members of HN dont agree with. Your text is grayed, and my post is at -2.

Again, if driving conditions prevent you from seeing too far down the road, either go slower or quit driving. It is your responsibility that you see what the road conditions are, and how to manage them. And in this case, the guy was too busy glued to his phone and died because of it.

This is a huge problem in our society. Corporations line up to throw money at unicorn mega experts that largely don't exist (ie. are quite scarce compared with the demand).

The interesting thing is IME these engineers only have so much to bring to the table, and often have to push through the same technical hurdles. A passionate, hard working junior may get more done, if they have experience at the company.

Among even competent senior engineers, these mega-performers are unicorns. For every one that will save any project, or at least greatly improve it, there's 5-10 that are just okay.

This example is a great use case for partial incremental view maintenance systems like ReadySet: you automatically get something like the “prepopulating the cache” section (toward the end of the blog) while only caching the data the application is using, and avoiding the need to manually implement any sort of invalidation logic.

> Its licensing switch and the fact that it isn't yet profitable shows there is still work to be done.

My understanding is that Hashicorp has lost both money and community good will basically overnight. I don't see how that's an example of successfully doing "community first". It seems more like an example of taking too much investment, using that to "buy" support by giving away software and then failing to figure out to how monetize, so immediately turning your back on your "community".

EDIT: I don't want to imply anything negative about specific folks at the company who do care about community, just Hashicorp the company.

We've been testing it for a few months: we've halved our storage costs, and optimized queries from hell. But the best part is the alerting, since it's been in place, the team has really stepped up its game (we do 2 million queries a month). This tool is crazy.
> I never saw any developer who was happy about Jira.

We did a clean Jira setup from scratch as set up by developers for developers. It was fine.

It wasn’t until the company hired full time TPMs who made it unnecessarily complicated with an endless list of plugins and processes that it got to be miserable.

The real killer was the way they wanted us to use it: They declared that only TPMs could move tickets, and only in meetings. So instead of us moving our own work along we had to queue it up and wait for an hour long meeting where we waited our turn to tell the TPM which tickets needed to be moved, then sparred with him in debate for 5 minutes as he tried to debate the done-ness with us through a game of 20 questions.

Repeat those meetings 3X a week and I developed a visceral objection to Jira. Only later did I realize that what I hated most was actually the pomp and ceremony that came with Jira-toting TPMs.

Jira itself wasn’t too bad when we used it efficiently on our own. The modern versions are much faster than the sluggish experience of the days of old

Speaking as an American, for God's sake don't lump me in with Florida! Also, stop pointing out Florida's problems, it only encourages them to double down like an angry teenager (not actual advice, shame the idiots).

Honestly trying to paint all Americans based on any one state is incredibly myopic. Practically every one of his anecdotes doesn't hold true in my home town: either there are policies encouraging/outlawing those things (e.g. plastic bags) or it's a cultural no-no.
Sure, if your infrastructure landscape is describable statically, that's how it should be done.

Most scenarios nowadays are _not_ like that anymore. There isn't 5 servers next door, there's 300 serverless whatevers half a globe away. Are you going to have 300 list entries, 230 of which nigh identical but 70 subtly different? Trivial in code, almost impossible to express statically.

I guess YMMV on this one. When I drive through suburbs, there are always people walking there. Watch especially how the staff arrives at your suburban stores & restaurants.
The author does not seem to appreciate separating tokenization from interpretation. Can you right a (choose your data format of choice) document that is valid in (your data format of choice) and not valid config for your application? Absolutely! Can you right an arbitrarily specked INI file that is both invalid structurally and not valid? Even more so!

Choosing a standardized data format gives you a constellation of tools for managing, generating, querying, and validating data that you don’t need to write in an application.

I’m not sure if TOML libraries support it, but the Ion libraries, for example, allow you to see the next data type in code and adjust accordingly. If you want to accept a symbol, string, or array of values, the application can choose to do that. Oh, and you can write a formal schema with things like enumeration values that users and code can use to validate a document. So if you’re in custom INI land, that’s yet another tool you need to write on top of everything else.

If I didn’t want to pull in a dependency, I might write a quick and dirty INI parser, knowing there are likely bugs, corner cases, and all kinds of potential future issues that the extra code entails. If I’m taking on a dependency, I’d probably choose a well defined, human and machine readable/writable format that has schema support. Then I’d write a schema and point people (operators and programmers) to it for reference, not the code implementing the parser.
This is just systems engineering 101. There are volumes of material written on this topic including process, documentation, quality and organizational requirements.

Hasn’t this been true for decades at this point?
Lots of discussion here of whether Jira is any good or not. Almost none about the actual contents of the article.

None at all about how the changes are bad for all but enterprise customers. It's not obvious to me - and it would be nice to have an explanation.

So basically we have to give the LLM access to (both read and add to) a tool that can deal with structured knowledge/state strictly, same thing we have to do for humans- like calculators, databases, clocks/alarms, computer language executors… That way if we tell it “remember that my birthday is April 5” it can enter it into a calendar tool in such a way that it can quickly retrieve it later to confirm its “LLM guesswork” or get triggered a reminder of it on that date.

I’ve been experimenting with prompting to get GPT4 to realize it has a “memory” (just a flat file for now) which it can contextually retrieve and write to, coupled with a process that interprets any requests it makes of this “memory” and adds them to the conversation. Limited success so far. End goal is a “life agent” that does things like remind me of things in a human-like way, sums up my emails, etc.

I used to be in favor of schemas, but my problem with them these days is that they just can't encode all the validation necessary to ensure that the config is correct. At the end of the day, the only way to check if the config is actually valid is to parse it, so I'm sympathetic to the "string them all and let the application sort them out" approach.
Beginning 40 years ago, the same efforts were made under the guise of fighting the drug war. Then 15-20 years ago, it became clear that that boogeyman wasn't scary enough, so the messaging slowly shifted to terrorism and then children.

Those two together seem to have been the key to shifting public opinion.

The terrorism threats started as racist fear mongering before shifting to highlighting threats from internal nationalist groups.

This combination gives every political leaning something to fear and someone to demonize.
Rupert Murdoch Stepping Down from Fox and News Corp
I don't like that question because it asks for recollection of a name, as opposed to taking the theorem "when X is true, then Y is true" and changing the question into the form "when X is true, ____???".

Worst case I've seen of this was when I was in 9th grade and our geometry teacher required us to memorize the chapter and section names of theorems in the book when proving. For example, in our proofs about triangles, we had to write "theorem 12.5" or else we wouldn't get credit on the test, and here 12.5 was the chapter and section number in the particular textbook, which is an utterly useless piece of info.

Of course, the name Brauer is not nearly as useless as a chapter name, but still being familiar with math history probably shouldn't be hard requirement for being a professional mathematician.
I'm not a big fan of TOML, but I find the typing criticism here weak. I would far rather my configs have a strict interpretation of 89 vs "89" vs 89.0

None of the INI parsers I have ever used have just returned everything as a raw castable string of exactly what the user entered. There's always a horrible layer of interpretation. Many, including the one built into PHP have confusing rules around bools, for instance

> String values "true", "on" and "yes" are converted to true. "false", "off", "no" and "none" are considered false. "null" is converted to null

Literally the quotation marks don't help.

foo = false
foo = "no"

Either way you are getting a bool false.
Right now we're using AWS SES for our MTA. We've had a pretty great experience with them to date. We don't currently offer dedicated IPs but we likely will in the future. When we do, we want to make sure that customers have the required send volume to actually see a benefit from using one. I think a lot of services offer dedicated IPs too early as a panacea for increasing delivery rates. What we've noticed is that these initial IPs are warmed up so perform well, but over time, if the send volume is too low, it's reputation can atrophy.

We monitor our delivery platform wide and proactively contact customers if there are issues with their account.

As far as spam, yes, we allow you to contact within your own audience as much as you like but we do monitor this for abuse.

Also, I didn't see it as my place to provide too much commentary on it specifically, since the impact isn't yet fully understood.

The term "social media" became popular with profile-oriented sites like MySpace and Facebook, and for a lot of people like myself, refer to that type of site.
