It's important to be aware that in some orgs, being fully remote may potentially impact your promotion opportunities, even if not explicitly stated in a policy.

In my personal experience, after going fully remote, my manager implied that it could limit my ability to advance, and that ended up being the case. At least in my company, face time with leadership seems to carry weight when it comes to promotions. For me, the benefits of remote work were worth the potential tradeoffs in career advancement.
Regardless of your stance on remote work this is the reality.

I've also been on several teams post-COVID where the majority of members were remote. In my experience, when issues arise on remote teams, it's usually attributable to other underlying problems, not the remote work itself.
For me, it took an estimated 3-5s to load on first visit. Fast, but not "faster than native apps"

The second time round it loaded almost instantly.

I think the companies who do this think they’re being clever by soft-firing their less passionate employees and retaining their most dedicated and/or most easily influenced employees.

In reality they’re doing a layoff of their most competent employees who are best able to find work elsewhere from companies that respect their desire to work from home.

The idea that you can’t change roles or be promoted by being remote is particularly absurd.
If you don't have a good phone and a high speed connection, you don't have any money to spend on either the sites products or the products of their advertisers.

When looked at from that angle, bloat is a feature.

It's not reasonable to have an expectation of quality when it comes to the web.
Yeah I agree with this. You can only do want you can do and what you want to do. If there's more than you can or want to do - either pass it over to someone who wants to do it or don't do it.

If people really want something beyond you means / energy they can submit a PR for it or fork your project.

If you're tired of replying to everyone simply have a bot close duplicate issues and let people discuss among themselves in a forum to provide peer assistance.

If its your baby and while you want to open source it you don't have any energy or desire to provide support/maintenance - just lock creating issues all together (not ideal, but if people have a community forum they'll be fine).

If you're the only person that can review/fix/maintain something then you're part of the problem, not the solution and you might need to hand over to a wider audience or flat out remove yourself as a maintainer.
Even when working remotely, the promotion system seems to work at whoever sends the most slack shout-outs.

The more I work, the more I realize the management and the execs never have any idea of what's happening in their company and just rely on noise signals.
Hah :) It's named after Yagiz Nizipli's (Ada dev) newborn daughter, Ada.

Both Terraform and Pulumi differ slightly I think provisioning cloud resources - pyinfra can be used alongside to setup instances/etc, I’ve used the pyinfra/Terraform combo with great success.

For ansible/chef, etc the main reasons/benefits boil down to:

- instant feedback esp on errors, get the stdout/stderr of whatever command pyinfra was executing, there’s no agent or abstraction to hide it

- configure in python rather than yaml+jinja2 mess

- integrate with the whole python package ecosystem

- speed and small overhead as inventories scale

Can you expand on this point? Having no copyright being a leading cause of industrial expansion seems pretty tenuous. Especially given that they now have copyright and other countries also had booming economies at about the same time.
> that it should be dealt with the same as a hard copy, i.e. only one person can borrow it at a time.

That's how it works in every library system I have dealt with
Hi, can_ada (but not ada!) dev here. Ada is over 20k lines of well-tested and fuzzed source by 25+ developers, along with an accompanying research paper. It is the parser used in node.js and parses billions of URLs a day.

can_ada is simply a 60-line glue and packaging making it available with low overhead to Python.
> That would mean 95% of problems are already solved.

No, it means 95% of effort spent is spent towards already solved problems. This is, in part, why I hate capitalism. People are doing tons of work simply to compete with others instead of working together to solve meaningful problems.

Lawsuit proceeds over Amazon revoking "purchased" digital movie content
Amazon lost its motion to dismiss the class action lawsuit, which alleges false advertising. The plaintiffs say most consumers expect "buy" to mean acquire full ownership, not merely obtain a "limited license" which could be revoked later.

The case has been slowly working its way through courts since at least 2020. A similar class-action suit is pending against the Apple iTunes store as well.
Only the RX 7900 XTX has 24 GB of VRAM at its price point. If I went with an NVIDIA card, I would either have to spend over 50% more on the card, or use much worse models to fit on their 16 GB cards.

This breaks POSIX compatibility, which is basically saying FU to how a lot of developers expect to interact with an operating system for decades now.
I’m not sure there’s many axioms used. Given any set A, and a function from A to the power set, P(A), construct the set X = {a in A | a is not in f(a) }. Here all we’re using is the power set axiom to define the power set and the subset axiom schema to construct X. We claim there is no a such that f(a) = X. If there was such an a, is a in X? By construction, a is in X if and only if a is not in X, just by first order logic, which is a contradiction. Thus, X is not in the image of f, so f is not a bijection. Thus, there is no bijection from A to P(A). And that’s it. We don’t even need the axiom of choice
Yeah this is why I always chuckle when people claim that OOP "models the real world".

> “The base leakage is lower than the previous technology, but the overall total power is higher,” said Melika Roshandell, product management director at Cadence. “So at the end of the day, your thermal is going to be worse because you’re packing a lot more transistors into one IC and you’re pushing the performance.

So why not match the previous gen's TDP and just use whatever gains you get from more efficiency?

Back in the 90s 300W was considered extreme for an entire system, today just a single 4090 can pull a full kilowatt. This constant increase manufacturers have been pushing to compensate for diminishing returns is unsustainable and completely absurd.

If you make a VLC clone from scratch but intended to be used for kiosks, the mixture of features and how it operates may be different, but the individual features have assuredly already been programmed elsewhere before. Which is basically my point. It still basically renders video on a screen, and maybe has options to play/pause/mute/etc. Most websites are CRUD apps with stuff that's been done literally a million times before.

Yes, some people do novel problem solving with software. But it's super rare in the grand scheme of the millions of people in the world who program.

I wonder if the tiny unipolar motor in a quartz watch would have enough torque to spin a small half-character wheel. Those things are dirt cheap, and thin, so you could realistically drive each cell independently.
Whenever I pull out old machines I’m a little shocked at how responsive they are running a modern OS (Win10 or Linux), so long as the modern web is avoided. Anything with a Core 2 Duo or better is adequate for a wide range of tasks if you can find non-bloated software to do them with.

Even going back so far that modern OS support is absent, snappiness can be found. My circa 2000 500Mhz PowerBook G3 running Mac OS 9.1 doesn’t feel appreciably slower than its modern day counterpart for more than one might expect, and some things like typing latency are actually better.
Yeah, low grade infection persisting was also a possibility. As well as dysregulation from nicotine/alcohol/cannabis overuse and lack of meaningful reliable social interaction. The full college experience in short. Up to that point I thought the most likely and dangerous ailments were from acute injury (which I was deft at avoiding during risky thrill-seeking behavior). But I believe I had it completely backwards.
I think you missed the "Apple Silicon" part of my comment.
This is what I miss from the removal of serviceable components on MacBooks. Was a time I would buy the fastest processor and just okay memory and disk, then the first time I got a twinge of jealousy about the new machines, buy the most Corsair memory that they would guarantee would work, and a bigger faster drive. Boom, another 18 months of useful lifetime.
I think it's more likely that people judge if there is an opportunity to lie by thinking if they would themselves fall for it. So, morals aside, somebody gullible sees the opportunity to lie all the time, while somebody very skeptical may think that they would only embarrass themselves by trying to lie. Or possibly lie unintentionally, giving an evasive reply, incorrectly believing it will be understood that they don't want to answer.
Oh here people did. Internet was booming and I set up so many PCs. It was great business.

I think that's the same fallacy that the GP warned about: there is no 'African' music. There's different music and different concepts of music from different places (and I actually know and have seen a bunch, especially from west Africa). It's like saying 'Americas music', covering everything from North and South America, the Carribean, etc.

Also, Africa is overly associated with naturalistic things like wild animals, food, music, etc., like an uncivilized other place. Here, finally is an article on technology startups in Africa - fantastic - and where does the conversation shift, what does someone know about Africa ...?

This seems like a shallow take on a complex subject.

It seems overly simplistic to unilaterally claim that our brains decline past age 30.

Sure, under some metrics. Under others they improve [1].

There's a reason why we don't put 20 year olds in charge of our nuclear arsenal, for example - and it has nothing to do with the ability to remember a sequence of 7 numbers instead of 6.

Fela Kuti's incredible
I'm not proposing an alternative mechanism. I think people who can comfortably afford to pay the asked price for a book should of course do just that. On the other hand, for the billions of those who do not have that privilege, I wholeheartedly recommend piracy. It is of no cost to the author/publisher (since they weren't going to pay anyway) and of tremendous positive impact for equality and social mobility for the community.
In a perfect world piracy would be an unfair and unnecessary venture. In this one, for many people it is absolutely justified.
Looks cool, congrats to the launch!

humans are at a disadvantage from robots in that:

1. they need to sleep 8 hours a day

2. they will refuse to work more than 9 hours a day in many cases

3. they need frequent breaks

4. they are fueled by biomatter which is massively resource consuming to generate and deliver

5. they provide inconsistent results

6. they fight with other workers

7. they can be dishohest

8. bodies break down irreparably after a couple decades of this style of work and require hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical care

9. it takes 20 years to produce another viable human to serve as a replacement worker, and there's very little you can do to influence the general supply of total workers

10. they follow instructions poorly

11. they take an incredible amount of time to learn

12. they require extreme levels of safety precautions that an all-robot work crew would not need

Jokes aside, I do miss this type of interaction. Especially for open source projects. It made finding solutions to common issues much easier when documentation was lacking or has not been updated in a long time.

Now all or most projects have adopted some form of: discord channel, slack group, subreddit, twitter. I remember searching for my similar issue in a slack channel only to realize the chat history has been limited because the owners did not pay the extra amount to archive messages beyond what was given for free.
Huh? I have a 5 year old, mid range android, and I still buy things online.

> I would say OOP revolves around the concept of modeling real-world entities or concepts as objects in code.

This is just data modeling, has nothing to do with OOP.
Interesting thanks.
What bothers me though is that almost all developers do exactly what you see in issue #1: We found it! fix committed done!
Nope, you should understand exactly what went wrong: assuming parents must exist... Now search the entire codebase for the same kind of mistakes. Use your creative brain to figure out where else same thing can happen. It will never be in just done place.
All modern software is unreliable bug ridden nightmare, mostly because of capitalism constraints yes... but it is possible to do better
There is indeed no African music! Nonetheless it was African music which saved my life. It started with Kenyan-Tanzaniyan Luo benga, then Congolese soukous, then many kinds of Nigerian music, then this and this and this… and it was precisely this entire world I had no awareness of that was my saving grace at that point in life.
They also found that the force of surface tension of blood-like liquids is much greater in zero gravity, which surprised Kowalske.

What? Why the surprise? EVERY LIQUID will turn into spherical globules when not influenced by an external gravitational field and too small to form its own gravity.

Why does he think the Earth is a sphere? Why do drops of water in the space station become globules? (Own gravity; Surface tension.)

"Yeah I agree with this. You can only do want you can do and what you want to do"

"If you're the only person that can review/fix/maintain something then you're part of the problem, not the solution and you might need to hand over to a wider audience or flat out remove yourself as a maintainer."

How do those 2 parts go together?

Because the first part is correct, I don't need to do anything. But if I open source something, meaning making a gift to the world, I totally can choose to maintain with as little effort as I want to. I also don't have to provide a forum - that is a project in itself and comes with legal liabilities.
Why would the $33B from Russian clients be crucial? Seems far too small compared to the outflows that were happening (q4 22 plus q1 23 more than $150B, I think) for it to be that critical.

> Good engineering means having the intellectual curiosity to exhaust these possibility before resorting to hints.

While it's great that "good engineering" exists, it often requires a bunch more time and effort than people have for the task right then.

Being inflexible and always demanding that time is taken is an extremely poor approach, and often doesn't lead to a good quality result.

Instead it often leads to the inflexible thing being retired and a more flexible alternative being used from then on.
YC tag teams to VCs who definitely game the system.

YC sells a good founder friendly story and it seems believable and YC is a repeat player so they care about their reputation: however the financial incentives of YC are not well aligned with founders (for example YC gets preferential shares, and founders get common stock).

The best writing on this is:

https://siliconhillslawyer.com/2019/02/18/relationships-and-...

https://siliconhillslawyer.com/2019/05/01/startups-shouldnt-...

https://siliconhillslawyer.com/2019/03/03/standard-term-shee...

The issues of control only really matter for the few unicorn winner companies. YC can afford to be very founder friendly to loser companies or to founders before the company becomes a clear winner. Founders of winning companies are not going to publicly complain if YC is less than fair.
Yes, Wordpress is attacked incessantly. It's designed to be actively hostile to security, so yes, a firewall that helps ameliorate is a good thing.

However, if you really care about Wordpress security, a WAF is just covering things up, and yes, you need to patch (but that's not really the fix). The proper fix is to reconfigure things to not follow Wordpress' absolutely ridiculous security. While patching depends on vendors, securing Wordpress from its own hubris doesn't depend on vendors.

But even where Cloudflare's products are arguably good, they still do too much in my opinion to marginalize non-mainstream visitors and to re-centralize the Internet around one big company. Every time they have issues, huge parts of the Internet are affected. If I wanted a WAF, I'd get it from elsewhere.
Whatever interests I have at the time, whether it is science & technology, or something like music & art, where I do a substantial amount of consumption, I found it best to balance it out with an equal or greater amount of production.

I don't like being a consumer at all but you can't avoid a lot of it, so at least if you set your mind to it you can end up being a net producer when you do the math.

I agree with your point in principle, and yet I installed Ubuntu on my work laptop this January after using Windows professionally for my entire (5 year) career. I've found myself moving in the opposite direction from the person in the root comment, because I find that it's getting harder and harder to find tolerable proprietary software. It feels like everything is glacially slow, laden with ads and tracking, reliant on an internet connection for basic functionality, or some combination of the above.
From memory of working with mainframe programmers back in the 1990s, it isn't just JCL you need. Cobol programs typically used databases and transaction monitors as well.

If you're lucky the database will be one of IBM's SQL databases. If you're unlucky it will be something like IMS.
