I understand your reasoning and completely agree with it, but I suggest that if you feel strongly about this that you put some effort into actual politics, because in my opinion the only way that issues like these are solved is by regulation and giving teeth to agencies charged with it. Unfortunately our consumer dollars are insignificant to a company like Boeing supplying a very high-value market that is incredibly inelastic and 'too-big-to-fail', so the only way to dis-incentivize evil behavior is by punishing them for doing it.
If you do ever return to the idea of generating the X11 protocol code, you might find https://github.com/tonyg/xcb-shim interesting. I wrote it to simplify X11 implementation generally. I've used it just once, so far, though, to build a Squeak Smalltalk native X11 protocol implementation.

When people ask what L1 managers do and why are they necessary, this is the thing that hits the hardest. ICs don't understand that there are 1000s of issues like this that need "managing" to get productivity out. It is exhausting and most managers I assume don't want to have to do this, but it's required.
> Don't fall all over yourself moving the goal post. That's dangerous.

I don't think you know what moving the goal post means.

In my original post, I said, "Musk doesn't design or build the rockets."

You just said, "His impact on the final products of SpaceX is clearly larger than anybody else at SpaceX," and you claimed, "And he did work on the design and and helped build the rocket too."

I asked if that includes Tom Mueller, the person with professional experience designing rockets. Because going from "fired by an e-payments company" to "designing rockets" is quite a pivot.

What books do you recommend?

I like to think I'm informed because I listen to both the praise and criticism of Musk and then make up my own mind.

Your article and the video both seem to agree that the different economic outlooks of the generations were achieved through policy, and the video demonstrates a split in voting by age. In this case it certainly takes two to tango - the wealthy to buy these politicians/policies, but also a certain bloc of voters has to keep voting for them.
having meaning is only definable if we say what that meaning is.

So two things can have meaning and mean two different things.

thus "if everything means something, nothing means anything." is wrong because 'meaning' as a property is not enough to establish that all items have the same quality and thus the quality does not serve to distinguish and becomes, excuse the phrasing, meaningless.

I have been programming for 11 years but always have a hard time finding a job. My friends almost had no job through their entire 20's. They have degrees in stem, software, medicine, and chemical engineering.

Every field feels either dying or saturated. Every company gets hundreds to thousands of applicants per day online. If you walk in the building they tell you to apply online. It has been like this for as long as we have known.
What surprises me is, why they went with the harder to cool 1U nodes and 10 SSDs/2x100Gb NICs instead of 2U nodes with 24 SSDs/2x200 or even 400Gb NICs. They could remove the network bottleneck and save on power thanks to larger, lower speed fans and less CPU packages, possibly with more cores per socket though. Also, having a smaller number of nodes increases the blast radius but with even 34 nodes this is probably not such a problem. However, with less nodes they could have a flatter network with 4 switches or so too.
The vast majority of version control system uses are not distributed, even if the system itself is (GitHub and BitBucket were born to essentially make Git centralized). An example use case is game studios having repos with very large histories (hundreds of GiBs and more) where the tip is significantly smaller. Having the entire repo history on your local machine might be infeasible, and usually unnecessary. Being able to get just the tip and get the rest via API calls solves this. Having things continuously synced has other benefits like preventing conflicts at the time they happen on files that are hard for conflict resolution like game scene files, graphics etc.

AI workflows are definitely a use case we are looking at in the near future. What types of files are you hosting on S3?
This could be fair (?) if you are a billionaire. If I've been saving and investing most of my life, and I end up leaving €2-3m to my children, why would the taxman take 20-30-40% of it? (since you don't mention a percentage I came up with it).

Why should I be punished for 'not giving money back to the economy' (spending - ~25% VAT)?

Saving money gives the bank the ability to loan it to someone else (or even me), thus growing the economy.

Investing money gives the company (assuming stocks/etc.) funds to grow.

Am I being punished for not paying a VAT or ~25% (spending) but instead of paying 'only' the 15%-19% for capital gains tax (when my children close those positions)?

I think the point being made is that you spent a lot of your opening post talking Git, and lead with that bit, rather than with Diversion. What makes Diversion different is added in the end, after you've spent time trying to convince Git fans that their current tooling isn't good. Worse, the examples you listed of why Git is bad is more reflective of configuration and processes than Git itself.

This is ultimately a very weak pitching strategy. The first thing you convey to your potential users is insecurity--an insecurity that people won't choose your product over Git. And it's hard to want to buy something from someone that isn't secure enough about their product to pitch the product first, and answer questions/make comparisons after, as a form of clarification.

Alternatively, instead of doing a comparison to Git, you could start with a list of "have you experienced these Git issues? <list of problems>. Here's how Diversion improves on Git in this regard." In this case you're actually solving people's problems, rather than looking like you're grasping at straws to complain about Git and justify an alternative.

FWIW, I personally have 0 interest in a cloud-first version control. I like the cloud as a form of backup and syncing with team members, but I ultimately want a version control that works as well offline as it does online, and prioritizes the local experience.

Starling absolutely changes this equation.

No, there are maintenance issues with hosting WordPress that go beyond just the product. You need a domain and TLS cert, storage, bandwidth, a curated list of plugins, and an easy way to scale it all. None of this is core to WordPress itself. I'm not a WP user, but see all the features on https://wordpress.com/features/.

Grafana and its ecosystem of apps are another example. Sure, you technically could host and maintain it yourself, but Grafana Cloud streamlines all of that, which is worth paying for. This doesn't mean that Grafana products are intentionally limited, but that the commercial product offers value added features some users are willing to pay for.

The fact that some companies take advantage of this model doesn't mean that the model itself doesn't work. They're just not good companies to begin with, and don't understand open source.

I'm not sure why a back redistribution of wealth between Boomers and their children does not happen.

In Russia you would be set for an absolute boomer domination, since they could privatize the apartments they rented from state after 1991 (virtually for free), and keep them, but their children would get nothing and will have to rent.
But in fact that does not happen because as boomers die off, their grandchildren get apartments inherited by their parents. Not by any law but by intra-family wealth redistribution.

Maybe US & UK Boomers were the exception in that they lived in economic environment where they could earn such wealth from scratch, so they are just not ready to share?

>That escalated quickly, if HR had a "file" on the other guy, what was the cause of firing?

the other guy never got fired. He about a month later found a new job and they were left with 40 sysadmins and 0 net admins.

As for my firing's reason, "No longer need my services"

>Did your manager like the other guy more?

No, not at all lol. Said boss had gone off on him multiple times, even knew he was looking for a new job.

But that's the thing with harassment, you really don't know what's true and what people think of you. Having been tainted by the harasser illegitimately.

>Connections are meaningful because they denote the things that are connected, and indeed if every single connection is asserted, i.e. "everything means something", then there is no value in any connection.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39089447 - but your example shows how every thing has a connection, but each connection is different. So if every node on the graph has the same edge that edge is meaningless, but just because every node has an edge does not invalidate the use of edges.

Last I checked, the Western or European parts of Fediverse had since been trying hard to distance, obscure, dilute and fight Japanese anime content, without much success. I suspect that's where your felt barrier comes from.

I may add that there is an additional (lesser known) issue.

The "typical" contract is 3 kW, due to air conditioners becoming more common, many people upgraded to 4.5 kW (it was also possible, cannot say if it still possible now, to make a 3 kW contract with an upgrade only during three or four months in the summer).

Very few people (and very large houses) have a 6 kW contract.

The "fixed" part ("potenza impegnata" translatable to "committed power capacity") is a non thrifling part of the monthly (or every two month) electricity bill, so eveyone historically used the smallest possible contract (usually there is a 10% or 20% more allowed for peaks).

The electrical plant needs to be made (and certified) by a licensed electrician BUT (and here is the catch) only up to 6kW the electrician can make (and certify it) without the need of a project by an authorized technician, which adds some costs.

Additionally (of course it depends on the specific area) up to 6 kW it is considered "normal" and it is rare that the distributors asks for compensation (besides the increase in the bill, and an initial "fixed amount" ) whilst when you go up, it is not uncommon that you are asked a sum as a contribution for the works needed to upgrade the distribution lines.

For increasing from 3 kW to 6 kW it would be around 70 € x 3= 210 € + around 50 € + VAT and then around 22 € x 3= 66 €/year (again + VAT).

Stepping up from 6 to 10 (besides needing the project and re-certification) is not unlikely to cost several hundreds or a few thousands Euro.

Anyway, before the issues with the power needed for re-charging, few people have the "luxury" of a parking space or garage, I would presume that this is a bigger obstacle for electric car adoption.
I worked one IoT system. Several hundred thousand devices. Our traffic was bonkers. Until we looked into it. It was one customer causing us like 80% of our traffic.

Now this customer was one of those 'you really do not want to make them mad as they will make full page ads kinda companies'. But the fun part it was not even all of their devices (which had a flaw) it was like 10 locations where they had the devices (out of their huge fleet) that was causing us 80% of our traffic. Their device would setup a call squirt the data and hangup. These devices were doing that 20k times per hour. Most other devices we supported were maybe 10-15 per day. Being the 'big co' they were they blamed us. Being another 'big co' though we were like if you do not fix this we will walk on your account. That worked because this thing was a big deal for them. It could have easily gone the other way and damaged our whole product line.

The solve was to properly moderate their calls and batch the data.

Also it is dead easy to get this sort of thing wrong. From a programmers PoV send data. Under all of that could be a queue (hopefully), some sort of ppp connection and all sorts of interesting machinations. Yet the programmer PoV it is just a tcp setup, send, and close out cycle. Then there are things like 'do you really need to send all of that data?' 'does it really need to be human readable json?' 'have you tried this in your target environment and not some developers desktop yet?'
Those were built when land had little value. Today the land is worth far more than the house. Who would build a $50K house on $200K worth of land?

We need a lot more 50-100K living spaces, but they only way we're going to get them is through density so that $500K worth of land can be split between 20+ families.

Just a nitpick, but modern PHP is definitely a general-purpose language, and quite a decent one. Assembly is also inherently general-purpose, and might have a much higher learning curve, but its foundational nature also makes it an important step in a layered approach to learning (a la Nand2Tetris).

Isn't that already the case, by protocol definition? At least compositor and clients talk to each other over a pipe of some sort. It is actually a bit problematic because the way it is done put noticeable restrictions on both sides on processing things in time, because if it is full then shit hit the fan.

They don't want to. They have chosen their path. It's likely they don't even recognize the advantages of player-based server hosting (moderation) that they threw away.

Their biggest motivator is planned obselescence. By monopolizing the server software, they can eliminate (or shrink) the player base from an older game during the release of its sequel.

For example, Battlefield 4 has a thriving online community (with player-hosted servers), but its sequel Battlefield 1 definitely struggled to keep servers full during the release of Battlefield 5.

The optimal architecture for a 1-user self-hosted project is very different than something built to serve 100k people, which is very different from a company serving 10M, and again for 5B.

Do you shard and partition the DB? Do you introduce a message bus? Do you add a caching layer? What about k8s and Terraform and Helm vs simply creating a single VM?

These are all very different levels of complexity to standup and manage. Some require entire teams to manage them.

Regardless of intentions, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution to architecture and infrastructure decisions.
