Maybe it's easier for managers to accept all of the workers' stumbling when there's more contact between them. Rapport lubricates forgiveness.

Remote work seems to only be a manger problem.

So how can we help managers feel more "in control?" Or where can we hire managers that are like that?
It seemed inevitable that a new language would choose WASM as a runtime.

We get a bytecode runtime to rival JVM and CLR, but with a diversity of stake holders (no single vendor trying to push a language or enterprise offering), it's JITed even on Apple devices and on the damn web! Pretty amazing.

What makes me excited about this: Getting to poke around, at runtime, my compiled .NET C# code using PowerShell (in Snoop) was pretty eye-opening to me. The "standard" interoperability between PowerShell (Core?) and .NET objects as well, of course.

It feels great to have a common runtime making calling out to other languages so seamless. Yet it seems to me like it never reached the popularity it deserved, but maybe it will get another try, with a lot more enthusiasm (no more Oracle/MS brake-foot).
It definitely does feel like the patent system has been gamified and also weaponized.

I’m not sure it is fixable.
> I think treating kith and kin kindly is a different skill than drawing ethical conclusions about society.

I'm not sure I agree. "Society" is not something separate from the humans in it and their relationships. And societies that do well at ethics, from what I can see, don't impose "ethical conclusions" from the top down but evolve things like ethics and institutions from the bottom up, starting with the individual humans and their relationships.

> The latter leans on complex reasoning, understanding of interconnected systems, and rational empathy for a faceless stranger.

My question would be, when does this actually work? Looking at human history, it seems to me that this kind of thinking doesn't actually end up with good ethical conclusions. It ends up with outcomes like Dickens's Mrs. Jellyby, who not only sacrifices the needs of those closest to her in order to "help" people far away, but doesn't actually help even the people far away. She feels like she's helped, but she actually harms them.

Great article! I make a living as a software engineer but my formal training is in electrical engineering (the applied math of the discipline).

In EE, the mantra "if your design doesn't work is useless" was repeated ad nauseum. There was little to no credit to half working designs. Also in most EE products, specially semiconductors, the final product cannot be patched, so the emphasis on good design was immense.

Come to the world of software engineer where the low barrier of entry attracts a lot of people interested mostly in making easy money.

I have seen more horror code in my 10+ years as a software engineer than I can count.

Some developers in particular those of the kind "I will spend 3 days coding nonstop with redbull" produce such shitty software that there is a name for them. John Ousterhout calls them "tactical tornados". I have had the misfortune of working side by side with a couple of tactical tornados and my life was miserable left to fix the mess they left behind once they left the company.
So, the guy was gaslighting the board.
There's a team of three young guys who have started a company to harvest space junk. NASA likes their technology and has given them a contract to harvest some Apollo era rocket boosters floating in a bad spot. So what is the problem? They're in Michigan's upper peninsula and what they're doing is too risky for Midwest VC's. I've heard their presentation and was impressed with them.

So why are they in Michigan's upper peninsula? It's not as strange as it sounds. All three met while students at Northern Michigan University. Ninety miles away is the campus of Michigan Tech University which is the mining industry's MIT. Few people know it but NASA actually launched satellites nearby in the sixties and early seventies. A lot of people that had the skills to help weren't excited in living that far North. So Michigan Tech with NASA's assistance created a space technology curriculum.

Course that provides a steady stream of recent graduates that can stay in the upper peninsula after school. I am surprised the state of Michigan hasn't found a way to help these guys.

You do! But so does YouTube![1] If they don't want to serve you the video they don't have to, either. And that's what's happening here. I'm amazed to see arguments like this up at the top of the page.

To take your point maybe more seriously than it deserves: this seems like maybe an argument for socialized media hosting. You're saying the capitalist ad economy isn't equitable or fair or just (or frankly maybe just not doing what you want), and that you think this should be something the government pays for in the aim of general societal benefit.

And... I don't know that I completely disagree? But if you want that you need to go there and have the argument, not just demand that the corporate overlord enemy of the week give you free stuff.

[1] Or any other media site with adblockblocking, YouTube is hardly alone here.
The fact that so many people are blocking their ads should cause them to back off with the ads, it's beyond ridiculous, percentage wise, intrusion wise and content wise.

It's also bait-and-switch: youtube got big on being a free-for-all videosite and in the beginning that included massive copyright violation which was all A-Ok when Google bought it for an astronomical sum. That gives them the right to 'monetize' but it doesn't give them the right to my attention. It's like billboard but it comes with a guy that forces your head to be aimed at the billboard while you pass it.

Joe Jackson in 'TV-Age' joked that pretty soon you won't be able to turn your TV off at all. Well, he missed out on the internet but your computer screen might as well be your TV in terms of media delivery and what a ridiculous situation we've created: a protocol designed to give people access to each other and to knowledge has been inverted to give companies access to your eyeballs, your brain and your wallet.
> been many situations in history where enough people stopped believing in their country and suddenly the shared fiction was no more

This is like saying crowds aren't real because sometimes people disburse. Like sure, every freshman dorm debated whether reality ends at consciousness. (Descartes did it better.)

There is a difference between physical reality and social construct. But there is also a difference between social construct and fiction.

Yup...that's why the stock has done so well despite the insistence or chorus by the media since 2010 of how Uber is going to go bankrupt or burning cash. It's like Tesla in this regard--years of losses on capital expenditures--followed by huge and sudden profit as the initial capital outlay pays off massively.
You aren't simply talking about different laws, but a fundamental restructuring of the relationship between government and private enterprise, private property, freedom of speech and association. You seem to want to grant the government carte blanche to seize, nationalize and regulate social media because you consider it too convenient to do without. That's not something free societies do, that's what autocracies and banana republics do.

Let the government create its own taxpayer funded social media platforms if it's so important, maybe even require academia to publish to those platforms. That would also be a solution.

txtai looks cool! It's not obvious from the title of the post, but Endatabas isn't really comparable to SQLite in this way. Endb is a cloud-native columnar immutable database with separated storage and compute. Only the SQL grammar is SQLite-inspired.

That said, the significant dialect difference is that Endb's JSON-like documents are strongly-typed. One of the places the Endb SQL dialect diverges from SQLite's is typing. In this respect, SQLite is "more schemaless"... at least at the level of weakly-typed scalars and nested JSON (since JSON supports a diminutive set of types).

Endb's data types, their exposed JSON-LD types, and internals:
https://docs.endatabas.com/reference/data_types.html

Endb's SQL data types:
https://docs.endatabas.com/sql/data_types.html

...all of these can be used at any nesting level, which makes nested data in Endb quite different from JSON.

Hope that helps explain the difference!

(I'm involved in the Endatabas project and happy to answer other questions or clarify this.)

Websites are supposed to work on the basis of a request: you request something, they can decide to serve it or not. But they were never meant to work on the basis of a request that is only satisfied if you accept these piggybacked garbage requests as well and testify that you have consumed them. That's a perversion.
I don't think we're understanding each other. A cp command can populate a filesystem, but it won't create a new partition (or filesystem), which is what I was asking about. You can't just handwave away "make a new boot partition", because part of the problem is that systems in the wild are unlikely to have free disk space sitting around for you to create a new partition in.

> Only because Linux bootloaders suck as they completely fall over when misconfigured.

Have you got a bootloader that doesn't do awful things when it has no configuration? I mean, I guess you could write a bootloader that searched through available filesystems and tried to find something it could boot, but that seems like a great way for unexpected surprises on boot (what, you didn't want to default to booting this 6-month-old backup kernel?)

(And it's not just the bootloader config that you have to deal with - like I said, you have to do something to tell the firmware to even run that bootloader)

If access to certain kinds of massive social networks is deemed sufficiently important to protect, hypothetically, then there would likely be government subsidies to offset any lost revenue.

For every objection one could raise, there's about a million different legal and administrative knobs you can turn to fine-tune the relationship between public and private, government and corporate.

> That's not something free societies do

Oh yes it is. The government in most (all?) developed countries has special (often at arms length) relationships with utilities, research institutions, nonprofits and NGOs, universities, etc.

> You seem to want to grant the government carte blanche to seize, nationalize and regulate social media

This is probably the most extreme interpretation possible of what I'm saying. Do you really think it's what I'm suggesting?

In the same article it points out microsoft also refunded their ebooks when they deleted content people bought.

Assuming these were sold as a perpetual licence (and by the wording Sony used it looks like they were), by removing the content they are in breach of contract, that gets expensive and messy quickly, quicker easier and cheaper just to refund them.

There is obviously some kind of legal disagreement happening between Sony and Discovery, I doubt this is the end of it.

Ride with GPS | Experienced Linux Systems Engineer | within 2 hours of Portland OR | Full Time | https://ridewithgps.com/about
We are the world's largest library of bike routes, and we enable cyclists to go on better rides, more often. We have a website and mobile apps that allow people to discover the best riding in their area, and get turn by turn navigation using either our mobile apps or the bike computer of their choosing. Come join us in taking Ride with GPS to the next level! We have one opening right now:

- Linux Systems Engineer: https://ridewithgps.com/careers/systems_engineer - Work the full deployment stack, from hardware to containers. We are looking for an experienced engineer practiced in the deployment of Linux based machines and services on top of them. We run on a rack of machines that we own, co-located in the Pittock, and we deploy services both directly on Linux as well as via containers. This is part SRE, part DevOps, part classic SysAdmin, with the occasional networking issue. We need someone who is within driving distance of our rack in Portland and who has experience working in a datacenter, but the majority of the job is in the deployment of services on those machines, not the machines themselves. Are you a jack of all trades, comfortable occasionally working with hardware, while being highly proficient in Linux and container based deployments? Maybe you are light on modern container orchestration but are highly capable and interested in learning? We'd love to talk to you!

Oso | Product Engineer | New York City (NYC) | Onsite or Hybrid

*Old problem, new $25B+ market*

Companies like AWS, Stripe, and Twilio have shown that if a technology isn't core to your value proposition, you should offload it. Still, every engineering team builds and rebuilds one piece: authorization, how you control who has access to what in your app. We intend to change that.

We see a world where developers never roll their own authorization again, and instead say, "Just use Oso" – the same way you might say, "Oh, you should just use Postgres for that." In doing so, we're creating the $25B+ authorization market.

*Why Oso?*

We have the lead – in traction, capital, and team.

- Traction: Oso is used by thousands of companies from startups to the Fortune 500, like Wayfair, Arc, Intercom, Visa, Oxide, and Codecademy.

- Capital: We're the best-capitalized, with 4+ years of runway from the world’s best investors, including Sequoia, Felicis, and infrastructure entrepreneurs like Olivier Pomel (Founder, Datadog), Dev Ittycheria (CEO, MongoDB), Arman Dadgar (Founder, Hashicorp), Edith Harbaugh (Founder, LaunchDarkly), Guy Podjarny (Founder, Snyk), Paul Copplestone, (Founder, Supabase), Christina Cacioppo (Founder, Vanta), and Calvin French-Owen (Founder, Segment).

- Team: We've spent 3+ years going deep on the domain. We've met with thousands of engineering teams and know more about this problem than anyone. And we have two of the best developer go-to-market leaders on earth who have done it before at MongoDB at Snyk.

*Why now?*

We're at an inflection point. What it takes to get from where we are today to a world where developers say “Just use Oso” is going to be different. And we see that. The opportunity is for you to join at this inflection point, in a role that’s bigger and different than usual.

I think this conversation is being taken to weird directions. To me, a website is a company's digital version of a brick-n-mortar store. There is an understood and accept concept of the store is the business' property. There is no right for you to enter a store and you can lose your privilege by not behaving yourself. Why we do not afford a website this same concept is lost on me.
I don't have a business plan, and I haven't drafted any laws.

But you can easily imagine a model in which government subsidies are granted at arms length to offset revenue lost by the protection of such a hypothetical right as the one I'm proposing.

It doesn't have to be as alarming as many seem to think either. It's not so different from the current relationship between governments and utilities, NGOs, universities, telephone companies, power companies, etc.
