That's not right, and that's not what the post says either. There are strong elements of originality in later-wave punks too, across various media, up until the mid-80s. The first punks didn't even have mohawks or leather jackets, just to mention two of the most (in)famous elements associated with the word; punk looks, sounds, art, and practices, continued to evolve throughout the '70s.

A common milestone is typically considered to be when The Clash release (and tour) Sandinista! in 1980, veering towards a pop sound. The punk scene effectively starts to self-disintegrate at that point, increasingly unable to reconcile its minoritarian attitudes with its by-then-undeniable mainstream popularity. By the middle of the decade, in most of the world punk had become the formulaic subculture you describe, losing its experimental streak; but until then it had been a living and evolving organism.
Except "shoot the messenger" is standard operating procedure (SOP) for most organizations. If you develop psychological safety, then you will get the real reason, but that is incredibly rare.

"The pins were not fixed in place as they should have been, when it happened. It's not my fault." Yeah, I'm sure that'll go over well.

Even Google fails to follow their studies; morale is at an all time low from what I've read. Google found psychology safety as the number one predictor of team success, like, a decade ago? Maybe Sundar missed that report.

See "no good deed goes unpunished" below.
> Now that Go has yield, you can avoid using channels even more.

I’m very confused by this statement. To my knowledge, and after a good 5 minutes search, go does not, in fact, have yield.

Almost looks like an AI hallucination.

edit: the post itself is tagged with “ai” while its content doesn’t mention AI at all. To me this gives credit to my theory this is an AI hallucination and this post was in part or totally generated by AI. While I’m amazed by and excited about AI, this kind of generated content makes me worried it really will contribute to the fast enshittification of the Internet.
> way to miss the point

All of those commenters deconstructing my clumsy use of "Noble Savage"
(I admit it's not quite the right thing) - are indeed (maybe wilfully)
missing the point.

A better expression might be the "Parochialism of the present". But
that doesn't quite get to it. Nor even Thomas Hobbes' flowery and
overblown conceit of past life as "Nasty, brutish and short".

It's about a phenomenon of lionising a one dimensional idea of
"progress" in a patently self-deceiving way.
Anki, believe it or not. Anki and sticking with the same small bag of tools.

There are quite a few things which are best kept as "fingertip knowledge", even with the assistance of GPT-4.
Let's see:

- Why do I have to think about the underlying pool of resources? Just maintain it for me.

- I don't ever want to provision anything in advance of load.

- I don't want to pay for idle resources. Just let me pay for whatever resources I'm actually using.

- Serverless doesn't mean it's a burstable VM that saves its instance state to disk during periods of idle.

This article was written in 2021.

AWS Lambda was introduced in 2014 that fulfilled all of those requirements in those bullet points that you mentioned. Google App Engine is the same, it was introduced in 2008.

So again, this article tells only one thing: that the author does not know what he is talking about.
Equal opportunity, not equal outcome, right?
Sadly, like any other option, ZFS can't magically create more storage space.

People usually do something like keep hourly snapshots for a week, weekly snapshots for a few months and monthly snapshots for a year. My policy with data is similar to real life things: if I didn't notice it gone for a whole year then I probably don't need it.

Are you perhaps hinting at using offline storage for long-term archival? What options are there? Tape? As far as I know, keeping hard disks online is still the best way to achieve this, sadly.
“Why would those who do own houses want to see their assets depreciate because of increased supply…”

I’ve been paying more attention to the intractable social problems such as housing as similar to the talk about offshoring of US manufacturing 10+ years ago.

I have family in the mid-west who suffered downward pressure on their wages. Meanwhile the technology industry wages are skyrocketing. Money in the economy, but not for them.

They have turned towards the more radical political factions who promised to help. I witnessed suffering people welcome chaos as a force for change.

I want to know who is benefiting from the housing crisis? I bet they’re entrenched in legal and moral loopholes, and lobbying that reforms will lower your home value and put your ‘investments’ underwater.

That’s what I’m thinking about. And I’m reminded that leaving the EU seemed, as seen from the US, like it would be difficult. But the UK managed to do it, for good or bad.
There’s an interesting assumption here that frontend engineering should always be very simple, such that engineers in other disciplines should be able to hop over and dabble with frontend engineering on the side with no difficulty. Or perhaps the assumption is that React specifically should only focus on the fluffy, junior-friendly end of frontend and leave the more advanced frontend stuff to other toolkits?
As usual. Passing an arbitrary number is not newsworthy.
We're a Power BI house with eight companies in a holding company. Power BI also has a high-security option, which is essential for us for security compliance requirements on our government contracts. We also have a blanket license so everyone can see the dashboards, and we're about to upgrade to Premium company-wide.

It took some time for me to switch from Excel paradigm to Power BI paradigm, but once it clicked, I've never looked back.

Which startup/company was bought that price?
I use a self-built web page (a simple Express.js app), that uses Stripe and Stripe’s customer portal for the subscription management.
Lol this deescalated pretty quickly, went from $104K to $20K to $5K to $0
Which basically means you almost scammed the customer for $5K or $20K. Super negative practices. I for one could never trust a company operating in that manner. It would be much more honest to say "unlimited bandwidth" and set a hard-limit for maximum budget, then people know they won't be charged, than to go through all this crap and then pretend you're doing a favor to the customer (you're not). If I'm normally spending $10/month any idiot out there would know for sure that I'm not going to spend $104K instantly. That's a very basic filter to have. But you don't place such filters because obviously you're working on the principle to scam people many thousands of $ if they fall for that. Heck, for all we know you might send that amount of traffic to your customer and the try to scam them and if it doesn't work then pretend you're doing them a favor.

This is the case for nearly every subject in school. Teaching the why of everything would require a lifetime of study, so that is often only made clear once a student narrows their focus of study (typically in college).
There's gotta be a term for trying to shut down a conversation by forcing the person to appeal to authority for every thought. Not quite sealioning. Maybe walrusing.
You have also entirely missed the point
You will likely learn this yourself, but having done this transition in the past, the image I had of this world was simply not real.

Startups fake shit all the time, cut corners everywhere (even when they shouldn't) and the hustle culture exists primarily to benefit from employee overwork (free labor).

Coming from a developing country I always thought I would never be as good as "first-world developers". The reality is that the bell curve applies the same way everywhere. Most people aren't exceptional and if you're exceptional in your country, you're most likely exceptional everywhere.

If I were to give myself one advice in the past it would be: you're more than good enough.

Of course, YMMV. Good luck either way mate!
So in this thread we have one person claiming out of nowhere that one attack on underwater infrastructure is definitely a false flag, and you are claiming that another one is definitely not a false flag, all without a shred of evidence.

These incidents are interesting due to because of how people like to assign blame or not.

Dismissing a compiler improvement is weird. Facebook has presumably millions of lines of React everywhere. Legacy tech is a thing, and most tech is legacy. Usability and familiarity matter. The tech is a collateral of the business, and it doesn't matter as long as it works.

Compiler "hack" or not, the business doesn't care, the business is about revenue and maintenance burden.
They need less reasons for Iran; they already have a truck load of casus belli. The reason they want to avoid a larger conflict with Iran is because a land mission is impossible. They already got kicked out of Afghanistan/Iraq by Iranian proxies.
Calling Trello "bootstrapped" feels a little disingenuous. It came out of Fog Creek Software, who had all the necessary people on payroll already. As far as I understand it was a side-project in an otherwise profitable and long-running company, that eventually got spun out with dedicated resources. When people think of "bootstrapped" startups, I think it's most natural to think of a team working for little to nothing, needing to become "ramen profitable" ASAP, and not having the safety net of a stable job, free food in the office, legal/marketing/HR and other support services, etc.

Yeah but isn't telling you where to look for and what to think contrary to the idea of art? Sure, a guide telling you why Van Gogh's brushstroke was interesting may give you a newfound appreciation of what from a distance is a simple looking painting, but treating looking at art as something that should be min/maxed and optimized sounds depressing.

These guys (Dimforge) used to have a physics engine called nphysics that supported soft bodies and multibodies. It's now been deprecated in favor of Rapier, which doesn't support those or half the other things that nphysics did. As a result, nphysics is so old that it can't be used with the modern ecosystem, but Rapier is so new that it's far less capable.

This has happened before as well, they used to have a fluid simulation library called Salva that supported two-way coupling with nphysics, and ran on all GPUs/CPUs, but that's deprecated in favor of Sparkl which doesn't, and also only supports CUDA. As a result, Salva is about as old as nphysics, but Sparkl is so new that it's also far less capable, and it also has no cross-platform support. Seemingly intentionally! (Rewrite to make this code less cross-platform.)

Hopefully one day the constant rewrites will stop and they'll settle on something that actually supports everything it should. Until then though, I don't see the dimforge ecosystem working out for me if they keep losing features each rewrite. After all, how do I know that Rapier isn't going to get deprecated in favor of something even newer that doesn't support half the features Rapier does?

Sure, give them a break. It's new! It doesn't support all the features that the more mature nphysics does. And that's exactly why the more mature nphysics is completely deprecated and unmaintained in favor of... oh, wait.

These would be unrealistic concerns only if dimforge didn't already have a track record. :(

I get that one day Rapier might be up to feature parity with what nphysics already had five years ago, but that's a completely arbitrary five-year setback for developers who want to build on these features that are currently missing.
I do support once a day for about an hour. I do monitor notifications for support emails during the day to react faster for urgent issues but there rarely is anything urgent. I guess the self-hosting side keeps support demand lower - if you are already capable of installing and running that software you can probably figure most of your issues out yourself.
Nice article!

> You know how crappy software is crappy in ways that are so blatantly obvious to the user that you wonder why it was released?

It has crossed my mind several times recently that I want a word to describe this exact state of affairs. Where a thing has a defect so blatant that it is evident to any user that the creator of the thing has never tried using it.

Eg. an airbnb with no towels in it.

What's the word for this situation?
Tangible related, but are you hosting your website on both Neocities and Nekoweb or just one of them? Because I see your profile both places.
That's because they're growing, not because they weigh less.
I'm also obsessed with this and have mostly countered it so far by moving house every few years, living and studying in several countries and trying new things. The negative being that I don't have any stability.

I have also heard that the barbarian kings of the fifth century onwards considered themselves, technically, vassals of the Emperor in Constantinople. And that this continued until Charlemagne. Unfortunately I don't remember the source for this.
> many (most?) larger German cities

I guess those qualifiers cancel each other out? Anyway. Berlin is twice as big as the second biggest city, Hamburg. Munich is the third largest city:

https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/cities/germany

We've gone over Berlin and Munich, here's Hamburg:

https://www.hamburg.de/contentblob/153026/31a1e4447ce01eb4b8...

- must be placed at least 180 cm above ground, near the entrance or on the side facing a public road

- if the building is too far away from a public road for the number to be recognizable, it must be placed at the entrance of the premises, no lower than 90 cm above ground

- it must be made out of a material that can withstand weathering and provides good visibility of its shape and color

- for certain buildings (office buildings?) the numbers must be illuminated to be visible in low light conditions

Here's #4 on the list, Cologne:

https://www.stadt-koeln.de/service/produkte/00930/index.html

- it must use "arabic numerals" (i.e. not Roman numerals) which must be at least 8.5cm high

- it must be visible and legible from a public road

Frankfurt am Main (#5) does not seem to specify any requirements and thus defers to Hesse, which doesn't seem to specify any requirements either.

https://frankfurt.de/themen/planen-bauen-und-wohnen/planen/s...

I'm not going to go over the rest of the list as the lesson seems clear: some cities/municipalities have strict regulations, some barely have any, size doesn't really seem to be a deciding factor.
I'll check it!

Not sure what the root cause it, but it does seem like all advances in computer hardware and internet bandwidth get immediately nullified by garbage software. My computer should do things instantly, why doesn’t it?

Remember when we won the war on pop-ups? I do. Seems like web developers can’t add enough of them now. Open a webpage and wait five seconds for the inevitable cookie banner and email newsletter pop-up. It’s very annoying. Super-fast internet plan, running wires through my house, expensive network hardware, all wasted because I still have to wait when I open a web page.

We’re squandering amazing resources by building software this way.

A few years ago google maps told my wife and I to "use the left lane to turn right" at an intersection of major 5 lane roads. The diagram even showed a car in the far left turn lane making a suicidal right across all the traffic. I couldn't believe it. Not a new road either.

I can understand a bad sequence of directions emerging from the process, but issuing an individual instruction that on it's face is dangerous and wrong?

Every time some peoples came from the east to trample Europe, they came trough this patch of land and scorched it.

Romania's longing to Roman history is mostly a nation building effort. Romania was a buffer territory between the Ottomans, Habsburgs (austria-hungary) and Huns for many centuries. It was so hard to get people to live there, because there would always come an army to torch everything to the ground. They lured Germans to live there and civilize the country in return for city rights.

A lot of throwaway accounts on here recommending people switch to vue in 2024.

At least for now, I don't see any urgency to switch from React. There's more React developers than Vue, Angular, Svelte, htmx, and Solid combined. React is not quite as ergonomic as Vue or Svelte, but all are swiftly approaching feature parity.

Vue and Sevlte don't seem to represent a big enough boost in productivity to justify rewriting an entire generation of codebases.
