Can't you just use the Github API for that? The script would be triggered by the YAML, but all logic is inside the script.

But `act` is cool, I've used it for local debugging. Thing is its output is impossibly verbose, and they don't aim to support everything an action does (which is fine if you stick to (2)).
(1) It's a bit of a bad smell (which he points out) that records aren't being used much at all in the Java stdlib, I wrote something that built out stubs for the 17 and 18 stdlibs and that stood out like a sore thumb. I do like using records though.

(2) I've looked at other ways to extend the collections API and related things, see

https://github.com/paulhoule/pidove

and I think the sequenced collections could have been done better.

(3) Virtual Threads are kinda cool but overrated. Real Threads in Java are already one of the wonders of the web and perform really well for most applications. The cases where Virtual Threads are really a win will be unusual but probably important for somebody. It's a good thing it sticks to the threads API as well as it did because I know in the next five years I'm going to find some case where somebody used Virtual Threads because they thought it was cool and I'll have to switch to Real Threads but won't have a hard time doing so.
What about P2P multicasting between devices? Delay for 1 second, if you get an "I did the beep for message hash X" notice in that time from a higher priority device that is currently being looked at, don't.

A bit of a privacy leak on shared networks revealing which IP is doing messaging, but it should be fast and reliable.

Kia and Hyundi are obviously right; theft rates are much lower in most other regions of this country and in other countries. These cities go easy on crime then blame literally anybody and anything else when it doesn't go as planned. It wasn't always like this, it was made like this by idealistic nonsense about solving crime by having more compassion for criminals and locking up / bolting down everything of value to protect the criminals from temptation.

Does anybody truly believe that stronger locks on cars will make shithead delinquent teenagers stop committing crimes for thrills and find a harmless hobby? Even if you stop them from stealing cars they'll still get their thrills some other way, attacking random people in the street, raiding and smashing up storing, simply just carjacking people.. the list goes on. You can't use technical security measures to prevent all these crimes, even prisons can't stop crimes inside their walls. You need to sic police on the people who get their thrills by breaking the law and fucking with other people.

And miss me with any poverty / systemic nonsense excuses for the criminals; the majority of these cars are being stolen for thrill rides, not for profit to pay rent. The criminals are antisocial assholes who think it's no-consequence fun to break the law. The only way to fix this is to use police and courts to ruin their fun and set an example for younger kids who will otherwise decide to emulate the criminal behavior they see others getting away with.

So do Kia and Hyundai have some share of the blame? Sure, they foolishly believed these American cities are as civilized as the cities advertise themselves as being. They should have done some market research and discovered that so many American urban areas are poorly policed before they cheaped out on the locks. This was all out there for them to know already, they didn't have to learn the hard way. If they had done their research, American crime would have been somebody else's problem instead of egg on their own faces. But they didn't do their research, they lazily believed the advertising and assumed that America is serious about crime like South Korea. In South Korea if you steal cars you'll be thrown in prison for many years, get fed like shit and made to perform hard labor. America coddles criminals and thinks the solution to crime is to coddle them even more. The Americans who excuse this nonsense have more compassion for criminals than they do the victims of crime.

I have a reason: we do per IP rate limiting. It's easy enough for IPv4 when the number of IPs is necessarily not too big to fit in a small redis for example, but for IPv6 everyone have at least a /64.

I'm curious how people do it btw, if you have tips to share, I'm all hear. Do you simply rate limit IP ranges? Even limiting per /64, it's still potentially quite a lot of /64 to track.
Emergent inter-service issues are challenging to deal with regardless.

I’ve absolutely seen canary testing work in large environments with a lot of teams doing frequent deploys. The teams need to have the tooling to conduct their own canary testing and monitoring.

As soon as you’re involving external services or anything persistent you may not be able to undo the damage of misbehaving software by simply disabling the offending code with a flag.

In practice the cost/benefit of feature flags has never proven out for me, better to just speed up your deploys/rollbacks, the caveat is I’ve only ever worked in web environments, I can imagine with software running on an end user device it could solve some difficult problems provided you have a way to toggle the flag.
The CHIPS act and US sanctions against the Chinese semiconductor sector are now publicly sold as "national security" measures, but if you read the think-tank studies that led to these measures, the actual motivation is gaining leverage over China in a critical economic sector.

Back in 2020, the Brookings Institution laid out the strategy that the Biden administration has subsequently followed, in a report whose title speaks for itself: "Maintaining China's dependence on democracies for advanced computer chips" [0]. The basic argument that the Brookings Institution made was that the US can directly or indirectly control several key bottlenecks in the semiconductor industry. Semiconductors are critical to any modern economy, so by maintaining control over these bottlenecks, the US can maintain a potential chokehold on the Chinese economy.

The Biden administration publicly argues that this is all about national security, but there's no plausible national security interest in preventing Chinese smartphone manufacturers from importing chips fabricated by TSMC. The strategy is to control the flow of high-end chips to Chinese companies, and to prevent China from creating its own high-end chips by controlling access to the machinery necessary to fabricate them. Over time, these controls are going to expand into other areas, like cloud computing. Then, whenever the US likes, it can turn off the spigot, and China will simply not have access to modern semiconductors.

That's the theory. Of course, China has something to say about this as well, and has been working like crazy over the last few years to develop substitutes to US-controlled imported semiconductors. The attempt to drive Huawei out of business with sanctions was the shot across the bow, and China got the message. Huawei's new smartphone with 7nm chips and 5G is an indication that China has made significant progress, but we'll have to see how things develop.

My company had a similar experience. They were a smaller Bay Area company only hiring locally, then went remote and expanded their candidate search. They were able to get a much better selection of candidates after they started hiring remotely.

Any kind of return to office is now impossible. Their (now much smaller office) can only hold about 5% of the employees, and the vast majority of employees are now scattered throughout the United States. Not even the founders or any of the executives live near the office anymore; they're all scattered geographically as well.

I was hired as part of the wave of remote hiring, and it seems to me based on the stories I hear from those that worked there in the pre-remote times that the switch to remote hiring really worked out well for them.
No, GP is incorrect. Digital goods are treated differently under the act.
The fundamental problem I have with the GPL, and I think is echoed elsewhere here, is that the GPL is not about my code. It is trying to force my will on other people’s code. It is inherently less free because it is trying to exert dominance over things I do not own and have never been involved in. In theory, a 10 liner GPL Python script could infect an org with 20 millions lines of closed source code and try to dictate the licensing of those 20 million lines.

To me that is just wrong.
It's great to see what Valve is doing, but in some sense the gratitude should also be flowing in the other direction. The origin of this was concern about Windows having control of their main revenue-generating platform[1]. Valve was lucky that all those developers put the hours into making Linux what it was, so they had a good alternative platform to build on.

"Public network" can mean many things, but in context of IP addresses it usually means a network, that uses a globally addressable IP range.
Now, that doesn't mean that the network is globally accessible. It can be tightly firewalled.

I think an alternative solution would be nice, where services are just registered with their service discovery, though I suppose that would require them providing an official API for that part of their product.

In my current setup for Tailscale + Kubernetes, I just use their subnet router[0] and add the kubedns server for the cluster.local domains to their MagicDNS. Having proper service discovery would make this into a nice round solutionl.

My point is simple making it more difficult to steal by default is preferred to "hope we can catch them after the fact".

Another [very flawed] analogy; Let's say that all guns were banned. All guns disappear. Now 'easy' crimes involving guns disappear. If nobody has a gun, then somebody couldn't get shot.

If we move the burden further upstream and closer to the source then everybody downstream benefits. Make the manufacturer build "good locks" so that bic pens don't work.
These issues are key. Thanks for raising them.

In some recent transport modelling work we decided there wasn't yet enough evidence about wfh, specifically because people may move further from the office. If this study fills some gaps, it's good work.

...edit: ok so it doesn't address causality. Alas. We need a study following a cohort for a few years after wfh became available, vs another cohort denied wfh.
I've replaced the battery at least once in all the phones I've had, and two other parts in my last phone. On the other hand, none of my phones has ever been stolen. And it's not just me, my neighbourhood has several repair shops.
A F-35A is 70M, and the F-35B is 80M. This is pretty cheap compared to most other jets that are still in production. I don't have perfect numbers for all of them, but the Typhoon is 124 million, the Rafale is 100-120 million, the F-15EX is 80 million, and the Gripen is 85 million. I think the only one that is actually cheaper is the F-16v at 63 million. These are just base procurement costs, when a country buys combat aircraft, they also but a lot of supporting equipment like simulators and maintenance systems. The F-35 is going to cost more per flight hour to maintain than most of these non-steath aircraft though. Especially the Gripen, which was designed specifically to have a very low cost per flight hour.
> Police only work _AFTER_ the car has been stolen.

Right.. but the goal of the police work is to find the criminal and put them in jail for a while. This is meant to be a social deterrent, wherein, the punishment for the crime makes committing the crime not worthwhile.

> When you have somebody actively looking to steal $THING, they will find it and steal it.

Exactly.. which is why we use jail. You also seem to be suggesting that the lack of anti theft wouldn't matter to the overall rate, it just makes these particular cars more likely to be targeted. There are obvious and measurable problems with this idea.

> So it is a failure of policy, not policing.

Well.. if you don't have enough police to actually find and put criminals in jail, you can call that a policy problem, but the policy failure is simply not having enough police.
Disclaimer: DailyMail hypes things up and makes them click-baity but the meat of the article is still relevant I think and probably a topic that needs some real solutions.

The US was the first to fully embrace high fructose corn syrup, highly processed foods, seed oils, etc... but other nations are right behind us.

To our community:

I’m Marc Whitten, and I lead Unity Create which includes the Unity engine and editor teams.

I want to start with simply this: I am sorry.

We should have spoken with more of you and we should have incorporated more of your feedback before announcing our new Runtime Fee policy. Our goal with this policy is to ensure we can continue to support you today and tomorrow, and keep deeply investing in our game engine.

You are what makes Unity great, and we know we need to listen, and work hard to earn your trust. We have heard your concerns, and we are making changes in the policy we announced to address them.

Our Unity Personal plan will remain free and there will be no Runtime Fee for games built on Unity Personal. We will be increasing the cap from $100,000 to $200,000 and we will remove the requirement to use the Made with Unity splash screen.

No game with less than $1 million in trailing 12-month revenue will be subject to the fee.

For those creators on Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise, we are also making changes based on your feedback.

The Runtime Fee policy will only apply beginning with the next LTS version of Unity shipping in 2024 and beyond. Your games that are currently shipped and the projects you are currently working on will not be included – unless you choose to upgrade them to this new version of Unity.

We will make sure that you can stay on the terms applicable for the version of Unity editor you are using – as long as you keep using that version.

For games that are subject to the runtime fee, we are giving you a choice of either a 2.5% revenue share or the calculated amount based on the number of new people engaging with your game each month. Both of these numbers are self-reported from data you already have available. You will always be billed the lesser amount.

We want to continue to build the best engine for creators. We truly love this industry and you are the reason why.

I’d like to invite you to join me for a live fireside chat hosted by Jason Weimann today at 4:00 pm ET/1:00 pm PT, where I will do my best to answer your questions. In the meantime, here are some more details.*

Thank you for caring as deeply as you do, and thank you for giving us hard feedback.

> Technically $100 is a barrier. The smallest non-free barrier, but a barrier nonetheless.

To be fair, it's only a barrier to Steam. Every device that can install Steam can also install another game, app or even launcher. Steam will even put it in your library and launch it with Proton if you add it, just not give it a Store page or discussion/workshop/whatever.

> Because they didn't have their own successul hardware until 2021.

How exactly did that change things, though? No part of the Steam Deck is capable of being locked down in a potentially harmful way.

> yup, just not for the kinds of games people care to try and defend. Except that Stein's Gate one. Never underestimate anime fans, I guess.

facepalm

Taking games off an optional storefront is not "censorship". It's the same argument as people who say that Walmart is censoring America by taking confederate flags off the shelves.

> Heck, Steam marketplace is worse than any paid mod.

> Any other AAA studio woulda been burned for this (and still are burned).

You seem to miss the point of why people don't care. Contrast these two scenarios:

- Scenario A: EA not letting you play as Darth Vader until you unlock enough lootboxes; Bethesda making certain in-game missions exclusive to pre-orders or specific retailers; Blizzard locking off Overwatch characters even to paying customers who bought both games; et. al

- Scenario B: Valve selling hats for Team Fortress 2, letting users trade and purchase cosmetics in Dota, giving users a platform to trade game stickers and trading cards, etc.

It should be plainly obvious why other studios are burned and Valve is not. Honestly speaking, the closest Valve ever flew to the sun was with Mann Vs. Machine requiring paid tickets to play. The marketplace itself doesn't prevent you from enjoying anything in any of their base games.
Consistency and trust in the repair ecosystem is a feature, to me.

You can always go to a real apple repair depot, instead of the crook changing your screen, as you cited.

3rd parties having access to real apple parts, an easier ability to replace them, makes it easier for you to get good independent support. It has nothing to do with that crook you mentioned.
You're not completely wrong. We're watching the slow-motion transformation of both parties. The Republicans are becoming a working class, multi-racial party while the Democrats are turning into the party of rich, upper-class white people.

I'm so old I can remember when Democrats would be standing with the auto workers instead of snuggling up obscenely overpaid, incompetent Detroit executives but that's what they're doing now.
Prime shipping isn’t faster. And you get free shipping if you batch your orders. Which you should do anyway to cut down on packaging.

I had a free shipping Walmart order delivered in two days. So that’s an option too.
When companies offer worse products for the same price the market will respond by making the competition more attractive.

The complaint about trademarks on refurbished parts also sounds a bit off, implying that nothing used with a logo on it can be legally imported. There may not be a good and legal solution, but it seems like refurbishing operations and repair shops are trying to avoid having to tell end customers that the assemblies they use for repairs are "a mix of used Apple components and third-party components not approved by Apple". If a disclaimer like that can't get the parts through customs, then maybe we have a problem.
It got flak when it came out because it was released at the same time as HL2 and steam was the _only_ way to get HL2. If you wanted HL2 then you were installing steam, even if you weren't interested in it.
> and it's only getting better day by day. That is a fact.

Ever heard of climate change and mass extinction? That is super bad, and unprecedented. Society may well not survive it, in a timeline of a few decades. I think there are reasons to be worried.
It’s an anti-theft measure.
I would just ask that anyone who makes such a calculation consider that, in the SF offices I used to work in, they heated the fucking garages. They literally heated the massive, multi-level car garages that were, for the vast majority of the time, completely unoccupied by human beings. In San Francisco.

That's not the mention the sprawling lobbies, long hallways, unused conference rooms and so on.
That, uh, seems unnecessarily violent and vindictive.
No, the issue is more bidding process shenanigans and regulatory overload from labor to environmental to local. It’s become prohibitively expensive to do large public works in the US of all sorts due to these things. It’s not just subways, it’s bridges and tunnels and all other infrastructure that would be amenable in sprawling megalopolises.

One of my biggest gripes with Actions is that it doesn't allow you to trigger workflows for a specific SHA. Only the branch HEAD.

This is pretty much possible in all other CIs.
They aren't necessarily going to have all this. Lots of smaller ecom shops can run on a single server per region. If you're a North American company selling a few hundred t-shirts per day in NA and EU, it could probably be fine, no? I'll admit I'm not speaking from experience. Rather, I have experience in everything I just said only I was using pg, not sqlite. But I've been very interested in sqlite recently.
