> I think, as the original commenter also wrote, this might be worth it in much slower paces projects that is run in another cadence / over mailing lists.

Very much this.

If I'm modifying some rather obvious and ovreall simple thing like an obvious config of a grafana, adding a customer to a config and such things... it's hard to really bother with a long commit message. Also, with modern tools like VSCode with the Gremlin plugin, I don't think I'd have spent many words on removing a weird whitespace from a code base, to be honest.

On the other hand, if I've spent 4 hours thinking and 2 of those hours discussing the change with another DBA changing a 2 into an 8 in the config of an SLA-critical postgres cluster... spending 10 minutes on a commit message in the config management is - with regard to time - a footnote, irrelevant and inconsequential.

But it can be worth more than gold down the road if you ask "Why 8? Why not 6!"
The question I think needs answering is why we wouldn't do it. Obviously most people would love to have an extra 52 days a year to themselves to spend with family, do hobbies, handle personal business. Outside of greed or operational commitments, why aren't we doing this?
In Russia and Ukraine, simple possession of child pornography is not even illegal. Yet they still are the 2nd and 3rd top CSAM producing countries respectively...
All of what you're saying is true and I can't argue that.

The only difference is that previously you couldn't even rent time on these super high end AIA's. They were reserved for supercomputers only. Even the MI250x sku is government/research only and even I am unable to buy that over the MI250.

So, we need to work on building that developer flywheel. My view is that if you can rent some time on one of these systems, that is a good first step. Nowhere else can you load a model into 192gb of RAM on a top end system.
> there's no official grammar

Most architectures have something. Sparc had one (I still have the manual), PPC, 68k. I would even say x86 does as well but you can’t force its adoption, what AT&T and GNU wants to do on their own can’t be prevented. AT&T I suppose had the goal of making it all consistent, but I’m not sure if that was an improvement. Though I know of its vocal defendants.

RISC-V might be the exception more than anything, but they have a defacto syntax used throughout the spec.

Analog Devices DSPs and Itanium are examples with the = token.

If the tool calls git(1) then it can show you the script that your actions produced. Magit has something like this but I’ve never used it for that (since I also use git(1)) so I don’t know if it captures the whole context/commands.

I used a GUI frontend to R in a statistics course. Never needed to write R myself.
As demonstrated by a majority of Fortune 100 companies (including google.com & microsoft.com), the industry accepted solution to this is an enterprise domain registrar, for example MarkMonitor or CSC.

A disproportionate amount of the internet depends on those 2 domains, and even so, there is zero redundancy for the situation you are describing. It's just that simple though: there doesn't need to be. This is a solved problem that does not occur in competently run organizations. Domains do not need to be a failure point, and if they are, you should put more focus on resolving the deeper issues within your organization.
This. "How difficult would it be to write a custom implementation of scrollbar in JavaScript?" (whose performance would be 100x slower than native browser scrolling, but who cares, we all have Macbook Pros, right?)
The article doesn't mention what might be the primary driver causing people to reject organized religion: increased exposure to people from different backgrounds.

When a child is brought up in a devoutly religious family, where their entire world is populated by siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles, teachers, friends and acquaintances all with a similar belief system, it will be rare for that child to reject all of that.

The child is like a fish that doesn't know what water is because it doesn't have an alternate point of reference. The child may never deeply interrogate their beliefs, or consider whether they should choose a different belief system.

Its a rare culturally insulated child who will manage to seriously consider other belief systems, and even then they will find it incredibly difficult to switch, since that would sever many of their social connections and support systems.

Generations of increasing urbanization mixed people of different backgrounds together. The internet and social media have only accelerated the mixing and exposure to a wide variety of cultures and beliefs.

When a person understands, accepts and befriends others from different backgrounds, it can get pretty difficult to continue believing that the religion of your childhood is the one true religion.
I have a friend that was on the over-winter IT team.. he has great stories of his winter there. Datacenters where you open a valve to let in super cold super dry air to cool the servers, rathan than think about AC.
I don't mean to belabour this, but I am sorry if you feel my original comment was taking factual research down an unrelated tangent. In referencing nephilim I am not trying to advocate for truth behind biblical writings, I just find it interesting to think that perhaps memories from tens of thousands of years ago survive in some form in our imagination and artistic expression. Perhaps living beside other people who are similar and also strange is a recurring pattern in human civilization and it is natural to project onto those "others" our fears and desires.
Here's the thought experiment I'd run.

If you have a device that looks and feels like traditional glasses, but enables you to create and place an unlimited amount of virtual displays of any size and shape you desire, which can follow you around as you walk, why would you ever want to replace those with physical displays?

> you never have to send your sensitive data to some random server anymore

If you live in the UK you are already sending one entire month of your full personal communications, and three months of your communications metadata, to this government organisation. Pardon the off-topic rant.
Browser vendors collaborating to mitigate a problem they created by shoving more and more complexity into web standards, resulting in a huge moat when it comes to implementing a browser engine.

This complexity moat is what gives Google control over things like Widevine to force you to watch ads, and Apple control over things like slowing down PWA adoption to force developers to use their app store.

Not saying this is evil, just companies following profit incentives as intended. But it often results in worse outcomes for users.

I would love to see some sort of reboot of the web with simple protocols and real experimentation happening in browsers again.
My advice tends to be using SASE things like AppProxy - you can have your less-than-stellar enterprise business apps exposed outside of the LAN without putting them up as a target on the public internet

> (Meanwhile, me on Earth, has link quality issues due to a speck of dust on a fiber connector)

It's incredible really. I remember when I was a kid living with my mom on an island, we got broadband relatively late (compared to the rest of the country), as the island required antennas for getting mainland and the island linked, instead of cables. I think it was set up that way because of costs or something, remember it being expensive...

Regardless, the antennas were setup and we finally got broadband, but every time it got a bit windy and/or rainy, the links started to have huge issues, especially if the lake got lots of waves, then the connection simply disappeared.

And now it seems almost like magic to me how the same setup is literally done but way above our heads, in a really hostile environment like space.

hmac and attenuation for starters.

I read your related piece a few years ago but apparently didn’t retain much, due to not using it every day. Knowledge went out to backup tape.

So, come to yesterday’s piece. I remember the abbev. HMAC but have to look it up. Didn’t get the use case. No idea what attenuation meant in this context… thought of sound and plowed ahead. Gave up by the middle of the piece, lost.

But, then saw the link to the old piece, and read it top to bottom. Ok, now I get it! Reread and got the second piece. Understand finally but still not entirely clear why you were dissing your work.

Read another related piece on why json and xml are discredited for this kind of work.

Often upfront in a piece the author will say read this first, define some jargon, and “why’s”. (The why is often what I care about most.) These go well with the details/summary tags. Well, looks like you used a button for that but same idea.

Experienced dev here but haven’t just spent two years building an iam system. Slightly more acknowledgment of that upfront would work wonders.
I would agree but only for the main page scrollbar, but you can have app widgets like dropdowons, listboxes, grids that need to customize it's look like in PRO GUI toolkits.
I just remember reading The Stars My Destination from Bester and noticing all these elements:

* Mega-corporations with immense power and influence over all of society (Kodak of Kodak)

* Drug dens offering synthetic designer drugs that made people feel as if they were various animals.

* The protagonist receiving an upgrade to his nervous system, including a tooth-based switch that allowed him to 'speed up' for brief periods.

* Status symbols of the ultra-rich, such as using the most elaborate physical conveyances in an era of effortless teleportation.

I'm probably missing some, but it felt like such a prototype novel to something like Neuromancer and was written in 1956!
Support for every push service except APNS???
I appreciate the optimism but to me this should have been you essay about the good of the internet. I'm convinced it would be worth reading. If you wrote it, I wont see it because that is how certain people like it.

My lengthy rant in response would likely be about the almost impossible puzzle of logistics, the access to the vast ocean of knowledge that humanity has accumulated and the organization of this complete mess that is civilization.

We have plenty of stuff, we just cant get it to the right place at the right time. We know plenty of stuff but we cant get it to the right person at the right price. We really want to make this democracy thing work but despite our effort we keep getting sausages filled with you don't want to know.

My definition of a huge success is different. Maybe I'm wrong for thinking we could do more with the tool. If I'm wrong I don't want to hear it :-)

Nah, we have documentation with a clear starting point - there is index page with most common topics, "new user" page with links to what new user should read, and some error messages actually contain wiki links to pages with instructions.

And yet we still have people who don't read documentation.

6 hour workdays would also be cool, instead of 3 shifts to cover a 24 hour period companies would be forced to have 4 shifts a day (for 24/7 operations)

Productivity per employee definitely increased, and profit of companies definitely increased, the only thing that didn't follow both of these trends is the average wage

If you want to prove all the excess productivity of the last 50 years is useless busywork you have to bring some proofs. The money is moving from pockets to pockets so surely some value is created, it just happens that all these pockets are at the top, and not much trickles down

Looking for: Summer Internship (anytime May - August)

I am a third year college student with a mechanical engineering background. I am highly interest in tech startups, particularly in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, AR, AI, Biometrics. But am completely open to any work.

My side projects can be found on my website, and in my free time I've been working solo on my own startup concepts.
How can you be all for it, when you've explained that it's affected the results in such a significant way? What is the "correct" way of doing it?
Your challenge (and everybody else's in this subthread) is showing that it is belief in the Catholic religion as such that brings these evils. I say it's human beings doing what human beings do; the fact that they're Catholic is incidental to the crimes.

Murder is the deliberate killing of an innocent person regardless of circumstances or perceived consequences. The Church has always condemned murder. Same for rape, theft, etc etc. So those arguing that Catholics qua Catholics, rather than human beings who happen to be Catholic, are responsible for these evil acts have a tough case to argue.

Edit: what's more, the atheist regimes of the 20th century shed orders of magnitude more blood than Catholics of the previous 19, and explicitly appealed to their ideology to justify their evil.
Take note, that in some countries the employer is reimbursed for prolonged employee absence due to illness or similar. Germans are also often paid less, which in many cases is a result of employer taking into account PTO and other absences.

On the other hand working as an independent consultant (contractor, B2B model in EU) - you may get paid similar or even more than what you'd make in the US.
This is mostly a question of costs & availability of developers. There's simply not enough native developers on the market, and the good ones can ask very high salaries.

Hiring N teams of M developers for N native apps, compared to hiring K<<M web developers is way more expensive, difficult, and slow.
Certifications (and specifically paying to get certified) are about legally throwing liability on another party, because nobody wants to end up with the hot ball in their hands.

The assumption is that shit will or already has hit the fan, and the question is how to reduce your own liabilities as much as possible by throwing what you can on someone else.

Certifications were and are never about practical or literal security.
Historically, gas tax and vehicle registration fees (particularly for commercial trucking) tried to account for the infrastructure cost in a somewhat variable manner. EVs complicate this approach some since electricity is used by more than EVs.

Ultimately though vehicle related deaths per mile and per person followed the opposite trend so there hasn't been a huge motivator for people to suddenly feel pressure to have safety regulations which require them to give up the vehicles they like. Climate related requirements needs (such as efficiency) seem to have an ever bigger role in reviewing what sizes make sense lately though. Rather than outright say weight is the thing that needs to be regulated I'd rather see it be directly about efficiency requirements or safety requirements and let manufacturers figure out the best balance to achieve the goals with.

Interestingly, Europe seems to have been adding mass at the same rate (higher in terms of percentage growth, actually) but they just started off smaller. https://thecorrespondent.com/310/your-car-has-a-weight-probl...
