I started my career alongside a variety of people who are now CEOs, VPs, distinguished engineers, CTOs, etc. and had a chance to observe them as they rose far, far above me. Luck played a factor in their rise, sure, but so did talent and an immense level of drive; their titles are ones they earned.
This is one of the sanest comments I've ever seen describing what FOSS actually is. I think you nailed it when you said:

> We can't just say "Oh FOSS is better than much closed software" when things are good, then immaturely reply "its just a dumb hobby, you're dumb for trusting me," when things go south.

It's weird. There are the explicit expectations of FOSS (mostly just licenses, which say very little), and the implicit expectations (everything else).

It's anarchic and ad hoc in a way that leaves the question of "what are we actually doing with this project(s)" up for all kinds of situational interpretation, as you noted. This is bad, because this ambiguity leads to conflict when the various actors are forced to reveal their expectations, and in doing so show that their expectations are actually quite divergent (i.e., "this is my fun hobby project!" vs. "my company fails without this bugfix!" vs. "I thought this was a community project!" vs. "This project is for me and my company, I call the shots, you're welcome to look at the code, though").

It's a little bit like the companies that are like "we have a flat management hierarchy, no one really reports to anyone else". It's just not true. It's almost always used as a ruse to dupe a certain class of participant that isn't sophisticated enough to know that these kinds of implicit power hierarchies leave them at a disadvantage. There's always a structure, it's just whether that structure is explicit or not. This kind of wishy-washy refusal to codify project roles/importance in FOSS is not doing us any favors. In fact I think it prevents us from actively recognizing the "clean water" role that an enormous number of projects play.

There's real labor power here if we want it, but our continued desire to have FOSS be everything to everyone is choking it.

I remember when Google was waaay smaller the sorts of goodwill projects like Gmail were required. Engineers had to work on side projects in part of their paid time. I've worked at a couple of companies that supported a "10% time" for side projects that was inspired by this. So products like Podcasts might be like a mutation of that earlier company culture.

I guess that's one possible mitigation, but what exactly would that look like in practice? Good luck getting open source contributors to accept any kind of liability. Except for the JiaTans of the world, who will be the first to accept it since they will have already planned to be untouchable.

You could be right, but (as the article says), trying to listen to a podcast on the vanilla YouTube app is extremely frustrating, since you can't play audio in the background. Is it still a podcast if you have to watch it like a video? It's hard for me to imagine that 23% of "listeners" in the US do that.
when D1 moved from alpha to beta they removed the backup feature. Granted it was beta but their support and tooling is quite fragile. Even now they have declared general availbility for D1, but if you try to take backup using their proposed wrangler commands it does not work(there are bugs in handling of dates). You end up wastting lot of time due to this.

D1 is sqlite and supabase is postgresql so they are not exactly comparable but pros/cons of sqlite vs postgres apply here except that sqlite pros of db in process would not apply here since now both the db's have to be connected via wire.

No, it means what it said: plain YouTube. One of YouTube Music's main selling points (vs. say, the old Google Play Music) is that it incorporates YouTube, so you can, say, add YT mixes to your YTM playlists.
Google Podcasts was an example of a product that didn't even become fully fleshed out before getting deprecated. It was so painfully basic, the Settings menu had like two 'settings' from what I recollect.

Google engineers make new products, put the most basic functionality, consider everything else as "P2", and move on to the next project. So the product never rises above basic functionality.

Regarding point 1: The timeline in the linked article describes some communications as "pressure emails." I've heard the theory, but haven't seen solid evidence, that the pressure emails weren't just regular impatience from outside devs, but actually part of the attack. To convince the primary maintainer into granting access to another party.
This bring back memories of AfterDark. They had other screen savers in the software package, but this was definitely the most whimsical.
No, plain YouTube. A lot of what people call "podcasts" don't exist as audio-only version, they are just YouTube videos. Even if they are audio-only YouTube videos.

I did not know this either until I heard a former friend who did me dirty started a podcast and my friend and I couldn't find it. A mutual friend suggested checking YouTube because "that's where most people put podcasts." Sure enough, it's on YouTube but not as an audio-only RSS feed.

>Is it? I just logged onto https://music.youtube.com/ and started listening to a podcast for free. But apparently there's also a YouTube Music Premium service that costs $11/month.

Eventually they won't let you listen when the screen is off unless you have a YouTube music subscription. Id you don't mind keeping the screen on you can listen for free.
> Contrast with Apple's significantly less experimental, more refined approach to product releases.

Apple's recent updates to iTunes broke basic functionality like playlists. I'm not sure "refined" is the right description, perhaps "more conservative but just as broken".

Lots of posts about Google Podcasts shutdown. Has anyone mentioned that Google Podcasts wasn't a feasible app for Google to start inserting ads into podcasts through? YouTube is much better set up insert ads into podcasts.

The best add is no ad. If there are going to be ads, it's better that they be relevant to me and the podcast creators get better compensation for them.
IMO this is exactly why. The payout comes later, if the project is successful.
> Nowadays, the repo-tarball split is largely unnecessary, but the practice remains.

I keep seeing this argument, but I don't understand why CI runners can't generate the configure script rather than offloading that onto the end user requiring them to have autotools/automake/autoconf/m4/etc

If you've ever tried to fight with that on an decade old enterprise system, those tarballs with configure scripts in them are useful. They get generated with new tooling on modern distros, but run on ancient systems. Getting the right versions installed can be an absolute pain in the ass.
Pretty interesting tech.

For anyone curious as to what local-first means, this is an architecture where APIs and state transfer protocols like REST / GraphQL are replaced by a local copy of the database.

Their thesis is that APIs that can only be consumed over the network will inherently be slower than the super low latency of a local database.

ElectricSQL handles the syncing of local databases and transparently resolves any conflicts that may arise to a central Postgres database (in the cloud).

While I do agree that M4 is not great I don't believe any alternative would have prevented this attack: you could try translating that build-to-host file to say python with all the evals and shell oneliners and it would still not be immediately obvious for a distro package maintainer doing a casual review after work: for them it would look just like your average weekend project hacky code. Even if you also translated the oneliners it wouldn't be immediately obvious if you were not suspicious. My point is, you could write similarly obfuscated code in any language.

Google is basically split into "build things that make users happy" teams and "build things that make Google money" teams, so I think that on an individual product level you may be correct, but in aggregate at the high level Google believes there is a ton of value in revenue-less products.

Now for Podcasts (or any given product) there's always going to be some calculus of "is it enough value to justify the cost", and clearly Google believes the answer here is no.

i don't agree at all. nodejs backends are as performant as you build them. the whole premise of node was async io, so if you're doing a bunch of blocking stuff then yeah, you're going to have issues. otherwise there's nothing innately non-performant about the platform.

it's impossible to debate more without going into details on your performance issues. typical backend architecture for any platform these days is the scalable container model, if you wanted scale-to-zero i wouldn't necessarily use node because of cold starts.

prisma can be great, can be slower than writing your own query, but that's the whole point of it. most of the time, it works and you can forget about queries and typings. when it doesn't, you can just eject to raw sql anytime you want.

i'm not a total nodejs fanboy, and have used more jvm (java/kotlin/scala) in my life, but if i was building a web-app today i'd absolutely consider node for all the reasons the author listed
It depends on exactly what workflow you're trying to accomplish!)

The parent comment seemed to be about a workflow where the repos are in sync. If you're carrying patches around and you don't want to export them, you are probably going to merging them. In either scenario if you have some patches you want to export and some you don't want to export, you'll either have to carry two trees, or do cherry-picking or something similar.

Maybe part of the problem is paying people 200-500K for this kind of job? Is it written in stone at all products require that kind of "skill" to function?
Node.js backend performance is comparable to Java. Perhaps you had bad developers - trust me, if they screwed it up so bad they wouldn't be able to make your Java backend any faster, and probably couldn't get Go or Rust to work at all.
That would be a great feature, definitely going to look into how to implement something like that.

You expect your opponents to cite sources and provide such nuance at your demand, but you have not reciprocated that patience. It is so easy when you foist expectations on others then wonder why people don't want you engage with you, then claim it is the science that is wrong.
The problem with backlash comes into play when the direction of force on an axis changes. If you are applying force in one direction and all the backlash has been taken up, everything is fine -- any force you apply or movement you make will be transmitted to the tool like you'd expect. However, if you have to decelerate, or you've gone over-center, or the tool/load pulls harder than you're pushing, now you have to apply force in the other direction, which you can't do until you take up the backlash.

If your axis has high enough friction, then nothing will move when your actuator is in the decoupled backlash region, so you can compensate by adding the backlash amount to your target position whenever you switch directions. But that means you need more friction than tool force, with bigger motors and drivetrain to compensate. It's often easier just to build a system with zero backlash, then you can focus on tuning for system rigidity/resonance (as shown in your link).
