For me, it boils down to the question of participation in a flawed but powerful system in a hope of leading to better outcomes, or its avoidance in the hope of its downfall. This is the same line of reasoning you can apply to political elections in almost any country.

I have no illusion of being irreplacable, or of the FAANG companies going down. Even if my departure would create a ripple, hiring is not, and will not ever be a problem. There is an endless supply of purely financially motivated and reasonably talented people. To leave would be to let a worse person fill my seat. Conversly, I get to work with a lot of honest people towards better things, in the scope we have control over. You can't fix everything, but often you can really make a difference on what's right in front of you.

Wrote about a fun little framework to think about success.
>>>Under Gay’s leadership, said Avi Loeb, a theoretical physicist in Harvard’s department of astronomy, the mandate of the administrative state of the university continued to expand and shift from serving faculty to monitoring them.
“The message was, don’t deviate from what they find to be appropriate,” Loeb said. “It became more of a police organization.”
>>A 2023 FIRE survey of 55,000 students at 254 colleges and universities found that just over a quarter of Harvard students reported they were comfortable publicly disagreeing with their professor on a controversial political topic; only roughly a third thought it was “very” or “extremely” clear the administration protects free speech on campus; and 30% said using violence to stop a campus speech is at least “rarely” acceptable.

Must be pretty bad if even the faculty at Harvard are complaining. And then her statements that jewish genocide advocacy did not necessarily trigger code of conduct exposing her clear enforcement bias unfortunately against a group that has been persecuted down through the ages. Policing speech and thought seems contrary to University ethos at least in US tradition.
And yet, the vast majority of cooking is still done at home on relatively cheap equipment. Go build things that interest you using the tech stack you have and ignore the hype.

Try to satisfy yourself, and maybe that will lead you to a commercial kitchen with a Michelin star. I know nothing else will.

I don't think anyone in this discussion is claiming that unit tests are redundant. Nor is anyone arguing that we should have 0% unit tests.

Please don't interpret examples of extreme hypothetical scenarios as suggestions or recommendations.

EDIT: I guess the broader point of my comments is that you shouldn't assume that others are taking extreme positions. Again, as an example, it is also possible to have 100% coverage with only unit tests! But that's just an example of what's possible, not a recommendation or prescription. And I wouldn't recommend extremism in either direction. As always, "it depends".
No -- not the GP, but I have a separate IoT SSID and VLAN with a distinct subnet.

I run an mDNS repeater (or rather, my Unifi controller runs it for me) to allow discoverability across subnets. The benefit, such as it might be, is in the ability to use a stateful firewall between the subnets and that I can have a relatively secure PSK that I don't need to rotate when I rotate any of my other SSID PSKs.

Relevant to the article, I also have a WPA-3 Enterprise SSID, a WPA-3 PSK SSID and a WPA-2/3 PSK guest/children's SSID. The different subnets have different sets of rules for what they may access and which DNS settings are applied by default.
The RR diagrams are images, while the SQLite diagrams are SVG. In my view, SVG is better: it allows copy & paste. SVG would also allow adding links directly in the diagrams, but SQLite doesn't have that (so far).

The diagrams for the H2 database [1], and Apache Jackrabbit Oak [2], do have links. (I wrote the generator for those.)

> To my surprise, the Swift one had the full Swift runtime embedded into it — about 5MB, while the Objective-C one was super light — tens or maybe 100KB in total.

That's a huge difference, but I believe it's because Swift is meant to be somewhat cross-platform, right?
It also has the very nice side effect of aligning with SSE sizes, so you can use \_mm\_load\_ps directly, which makes the code neater and us super easy to vectorise
Moralizing can have the meaning of "inculcating morality", but it's more commonly used nowadays as "relating to a narrow-minded concern [for] the morals of others".

I think the best "dreaming spire" is the spire of St. Mary's Church, billed as the University Church. There's a spiral staircase up the inside of the spire, made of very worn stone, and a narrow viewing platform around the top, from which you can look down and see the layout of the quads of several of the most-famous colleges. And you can rub noses with a couple of gargoyles.

Why does AI make you feel this way? It feels the opposite to me — like meals that formerly required a master chef to make, but soon anyone can make for themselves at an acceptable level of quality with meal prep kits
The mathematical intuition for why naming things is hard is definitely tied to information theory and semantics (linguistics). Names communicate bits of information, and they describe a semantic concept. When a name isn't accurate, it's not communicating enough bits, OR the reader isn't familiar enough with what the bits mean - the semantics of the bits.

If the name is too vague, you have to expand it to send more bits, which can be hard to perfectly capture. If the name is accurate but the reader doesn't understand (as often happens when say reading academic papers), then it's an education issue.
Maybe they expose the wiregard port through the firewall and VPN into a flat management network

For strictly local use, Google's Nearby share is technically FOSS but the documentation is basically non-existent and a proper Linux implementation is not here yet. Alternatives aren't hard to find though, with Mint's Warpinator or KDE Connect having worked well for me.

For non-local use (everything out of Bluetooth range), you almost have to trust a third party, unless you host yourself, and it really depends on your use case. Want to send your friend a file or host pictures of your birthday for multiple people to download? For the former magic wormhole works great, for the later you could almost spin up a nextcloud or similar (personally I like https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser ). Want to regularly send files from device 1 to device 2? Now sync solutions like syncthing or rsync become really viable.

They should have named it the everything bagel.
Differential backups or any sort of versioning seemed like one of the most obvious culprits (that and or total redundant storage to preserve the file) but the issue with all of this is it’s entirely opaque.

Ultimately you’re increasingly tethered to some service for your storage that you pay for periodically based on total storage yet you have little-to-no information how to best optimize that storage if you want to operate in a fixed cost bracket or lower storage/cost ratio. So as a consumer, do I just wave my hands and keep throwing more and more money at the problem, especially now that devices are increasingly pushing everything, including storage, as a subscription service to meet my actual functional needs (that realistically could be met by local storage options if manufacturers didn’t have a vested interest in pushing me towards service based storage solutions)?

The modern business strategy in technology is simply hiding behind complexity. The cost is too complex for you to understand, it gives too much information away about our internals to competitors, and so on. Yet somehow these metrics are derived to assure the business is operating above cost because when the rubber meets the road it must be done, yet when the consumer wants to understand it’s suddenly too complex. The problem is that tech in many cases is growing to scales that really is too complex and business managers know this, so it’s often a valid excuse to hide behind. Conveniently that’s where they focus on investment and padding margins though.
You change the file. Simple!

> As for the opt-out: given the scope of how we are using usage and service data it did not seem all that obvious an opt-out was needed. We did receive the feedback however and will follow up here.

A good rule of thumb for vacuuming customer data in enterprise environments is: everything needs an opt-out (I'd even say that almost every instance of it should be opt-in).

You can't assume that all of your customers are ok to provide their data to a black box owned by you, sometimes that might even create regulatory issues they need to be aware of. Even if historically your ToS restricts how you can use said data, it creates a risk that one day you might not be so restrictive, we are all very aware of companies slicing the salami to further encroach on customers' data.

It sounds really strange that a company serving enterprise customers is not thinking in those terms.
Because first, it's self enforcing since GPL is court tested, second it's also a stance.

I choose GPL, because I do not code these tools with my programmer hat. I code them on my free time, primarily for myself, to be used by people who appreciate the work went into them and find these tools beneficial.

These tools, while vary in sophistication, are high quality items which are built for their users, and not open to be monetized by another company just because they can build something with or on top of it.

I have no qualms with Open Source software when done honestly. Most of today's Open Source projects are not honest.

Try to deploy a service or compile an Open Source tool solely from the provided source code. 99.99% of the time you'll wish that you land flat on your face, which would be easier and less painful.

I choose GPL, because not only I promise that you'll be able to build the thing I released, I promise that I'll make it buildable with minimum fuss and effort as much as possible.

What I put out is complete opposite of a run of the mill Open Source Software. Free, easy to understand, easy to build, no moats whatsoever. It's a gift instead of a window dressing. It's a free offering with no strings attached instead of "fix our code, so you might get internet cookie points in return". It's crafted instead of produced.
A big part of the problem is just the instability of the API.

If it was more stable, it would be possible to use e.g. stackoverflow to build a base of solutions to common problems, a canonical way of doing things, but since gradle keeps shifting and changing with every other release, that really isn't possible.
No, it's because Swift was not ABI stable at the time, so it couldn't be added to the operating system.

Good for them. Health insurance / medical care debt in EU (yes, that definitely exists) can't be handled by declaring bankruptcy, they're going to take practically all your money directly from your bank account until you die homeless.

> I vaguely remember Tom Scott saying something similar as an example of the one time he used a small claims court?

Tom Scott said two things about himself in YouTube's copyright system isn't broken. The world's is. [0]

1. "A TV channel from Thailand took one of my videos, played it out without permission in one of their big television shows, and then put that entire television show into Content ID. I got a Content ID hit on my original video from them, and that took a long time to sort out."

2. "The UK has [...] the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court [1][...] and that court has a small claims track. If you're an individual photographer or video maker, you can [...] issue a claim as a "litigant in person", which is the fancy British term for "without a lawyer". I've done it, because a major company ripped off one of my videos. [...] And there I was, walking in, no lawyer, thinking I had a case, thinking I had a grip on reality. Statistically, the odds weren't in my favour, but I filed successfully. And the company settled with me, they paid me to drop the claim, because they were in the wrong, and they knew they were in the wrong, and they knew I could actually get it to a judge in exchange for a bit of work and a court fee of just over £100."

He did not say these two incidents were related.

He did not say he used a court to resolve a Content ID claim.

> Case in point: The length of the README in this "Modern gradle" reference repo - that's a lot of complexity just to get dependencies, compilation, tests, and packaging. I prefer to copy-pasta some XML fragments and move on to solving the high ROI business-value issues.

The repo is a reference Gradle and Maven repo. The author, in his linked opinion piece, agrees with you:

> Gradle brought the two above great features that Maven integrated, proving that competition is good. Despite this, I still find no benefit of Gradle.

It looks like most people commenting here, would be better off reading that article and commenting. I would (like another commenter) like to see a comparison to bazel as well - and maybe a discussion of how/if Maven could be reasonably used with Kotlin/android...

> It would perhaps attempt to collect other "toot"s about the same link, facilitating a discussion (and keeping everything at one place).

If you go to Explore → News on Mastodon, there's like a list of 10 trending articles within your network. It also includes "discussed by X people in the past Y days", but annoyingly there's no way to reach those discussions and read what people thought about the article.

So I feel like Mastodon's moving in the right path to serve that purpose, it's just unfinished.
To this day a lot of frameworks and libraries are built with convenient CSS selector string APIs, thinly wrapping querySelector. These don't work well with shadow DOM.

Passing element references is more compatible, but more verbose. And in the case of test framework POMs, a poor choice - because it leads to stale element references in a reactive or virtual DOM.

Some libs like Playwright are re-living the jQuery timeline and building enhanced selector engines that pierce shadow DOM by default.

We're forced into a future where your toolbox either contains shadow DOM or querySelector.

Shadow DOM's adoption problem comes down to ergonomics. We prefer jQuery's vision of the web, grabbing elements with handy one-liners. Shadow DOM broke that. And the practical benefits of shadow DOM have never outweighed the convenience of selectors.
Absent 802.11r, they might improve hand-off between APs.

The disadvantage of WPA Enterprise though, especially with a hosted RADIUS server, is that it's somewhat more difficult to gain access to the network to fix things if they're broken -- if your internet connection is down then you can't authenticate, and if you can't authenticate then you can't fix whatever broke to bring the connection back up. I suspect you can guess how I discovered that problem :).

So overall: no. There might be a small increase in reliability in regular use (although I've not been able to tell the difference), but the reliance on an extra service makes for less reliable connections overall.
Even though no religion owns the moon, there are laws in many places about the disposal of human remains, even on public lands, so I don't see why there couldn't be similar international regulations about the disposal of human remains on the moon.

Indeed, I should think that apart from any religious objections, there should be deep concern from a purely scientific standpoint. This is, right now, a pristine space. We should not be leaving a bunch of organic material there for purely commercial reasons.
My plan was to have something strategic regarding to the productivity of the smalltalker in terms of web applications that can deliver the UX of a single page application.

Here is a talk with more spirit than skill back from 2014 trying to promote that mission https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iumCpezWzkU

At the time I was focused in a Seaside based SaaS that I started in 2009 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z29q5PUoJs

Although that SaaS had very low churn and very long LTV and low CAC, I failed to raise money to grow it and I've failed to find the right growth guy that could help and shutdown in 2015. My bet was to use that flow stack to make this SaaS next big upgrade to be a Single Page Application done with Amber in the frontend but didn't go well due to these non-technical issues.

Then Angular was eating the web world and the React tsunami was just started.

It's funny to see that now there is a come back to SSR.

Dailyjournal.party: a customizable printable daily planner and gratitude journal
For everyone thinking about a new year journaling habit ...

dailyjournal.party is a tool I built after getting frustrated with how bulky it was to carry around a 90 day planner like https://monkmanual.com/ or a yearly planner like https://dailygreatness.co/.

It provides a printable two-sided journal for A4 or letter paper. Each day has a morning planning page and a nighttime reflect/gratitude page. Each week and month also has the same. These are inserted when the timerange crosses a week or month bondary.

I try to print one of these per week, usually on a sunday so I start the week with a weekly planner.

The idea of these is to be disposable (if you want) so the thoughts and feelings recorded in them don't have the same 'blank journal paralysis' that can occur with a big heavy book. If you want to go back and review them, just save them in a box, if you don't, throw them out at the end of the week.

The site allows for customizing the questions, and your changes are saved in localstorage.

The printable layout isn't as perfect as I'd like, in particular the dotted lines don't perfectly fit in the boxes - it's all done with html/css tricks to make it fast to iterate, generate and preview, as well as to take advantage of how good css is at filling grids. I built a version with LaTeX that was beautiful but a pain.
