It is hard to replicate or actually compete with proper proprietary design tools. There's a ton of UX and performance enhancements that are done over the years and IMHO OSS can never get to that. I'm speaking specifically about design tools. There have been a lot of tools that have been around with not a lot of adoption. I like and appreciate the effort and it is definitely a massive effort to build these OSS alternatives to design tools, but it is hard to actually pick, use, and make them your daily drivers. Design tools is one of those categories of software where proprietary is definitely a better choice to choose over OSS.

> Why do you need logs for that though? You could also use metrics and define the alert routing based on thread holds and alerting rules there.

No, you cannot. At least for most of the practical cases. Some upstream dependencies can and do throw critical/fault-level log messages which you do not control and cannot catch.

This scenario is frequent enough that some cloud providers even provide services that generate metrics streams by filtering logs.

Also important: the operational side of running a service. When the shit hits the fan, you do not have the luxury of redeploying production services just because you need to add a log call or emit a metric. For that, you work with what you already have in place. I was involved in a couple of SEVs where I personally created metrics filters and alarms on the fly to help troubleshoot issues and monitor relevant failure modes.

I think that dipping into the history of design (both industrial design and architecture) go a long way to explaining the general trends.

It is important to also distinguish between minimalist design (motivated by aesthetic and philosophical choices) and utilitarian artefacts such as streetlights. The latter may be informed more directly by minimizing total cost and may not have ever had some creative input from a designer.
Don't know which ones you're going to, but Australia and Japan are very first world countries and they love McDonald's there. (I think US McDs is better than Japan's though.)

It definitely can be. The presence of uncontrolled interruptions is a common complaint in open offices. Individual employees tend to manage this issue with noise cancelling headphones. I've also seen eng managers create dedicated periods of focus time or designate a focus room for this reason.

But it doesn't matter either way, because in-person is a different medium to text with a different dynamic. If you'd read the article, you'd see this is directly called out:

> You're trying to be polite by not jumping right into the request, like you would do in person or on the phone. But Chat is neither of those things.

A group message is still chat, but it is a different dynamic to sending out individual messages. Can you honestly say - in good faith - that you don't see the differences between directly and personally addressing someone, versus addressing a group? Try to put yourself in other people's place and imagine how these things might be different.

I also agree with the sibling comment that walking up to a bunch of people working and saying "Hello" with no context then waiting around for a response would be poor etiquette. If you can see that people aren't working - that they are taking a break or already idly chatting - then I would say it's fine. But these are the types of rich context clues that you get from in-person communication that you usually don't get from chat.

Your reply from elsewhere:

> They don't need to poll a channel, most chat applications will pop up a notification when a message appears.

It was you that said the purpose of "hi" was to have them check back. If the notification were sufficient on its own, then you wouldn't need to say "hi" at all. They'll receive a notification once you ask your question either way. The selfishness is in the asymmetry of the interaction. The standalone "hi" is the lowest effort and highest ambiguity way of interrupting someone and asking for their attention.

> What would be the purpose of providing more context before actually asking a question?

So that people have some idea of how important your question is going to be, how long it might take to answer, whether it is relevant to the work they're currently doing and so on. Maybe you see a "hi" in chat and it doesn't matter to you either way. If that's the case, you are probably a minority among technical workers.
Can you provide some of your top resources for this argument? I feel like if this were true it would be much more well-known. Maybe you're misreading a paper?

> Ideally the team working on infra problems does not need to care how many versions of a backend are operating on the dev environment.

> The only thing infra needs to take into account the requested resources.

> Perverse incentives on wasting resources aside

(I do infra.) That's like, 95% of the problem. AFAICT, most devs have absolutely no idea how powerful a computer is.

My last change was to resize a 400 core, 800 GiB set of compute into a 100 core, 150 GiB set. It was just ludicrously over-provisioned, because the dev teams isn't incentivized to care at all. (…sadly, I'm not allowed to go out an hire a dev now, even though I literally just saved that amount of money in cloud costs…)

(It's still over-provisioned, but that was the easy "we can lop this compute off and I promise you you won't notice.)

The economics/incentives at play are the hard part. Getting management to not look at infra for "ehrmagerd the cloud bill" but instead devote dev time into getting them to dig into "why is this app, which ostensibly just shuffles JSON about the landscape, using 8 cores and all the RAM?" is … tough. And not what I signed up for in SWE, damn it.

The other way is equally bad: devs find they've run out of resources? Knee-jerk is "resize compute upwards" not some introspection of "wait, what is a reasonable amount of CPU use for JSON shuffling?"

Usage graphing is the other tool that really puts some devs' work in a rather bad light: resource requests of like 20 CPU, but the usage graph says "0.02 CPU". So … at least the code's not inefficient, but the requested resources are wasted.
Because money, we are really just talking about a company here, that has no real interest in serving customers.

As far as I know MAC addresses are never used to route a message to a particular recipient. They're used so that devices that overhear the message, but aren't the intended recipient, can ignore that message on the honor system.

If you have a wired connection, this makes the MAC completely superfluous. The concept is sort of still valid for wireless connections (or of course for "wired" connections where you have multiple devices physically connected by the same wire, a bus, where the concept originated). It should be rethought.

Bangladesh is a mess. Dhaka is highly polluted. The country faces serious issues like floods. It’s also an officially Islamic nation, a leftover when the British partitioned India on the way out - they gave away big chunks of Indian territory to Islamic extremists to form ethnostates, which became Pakistan and Bangladesh. There’s a lot of corruption. Lots of controversies involving discrimination against various groups based on gender, ethnicity, religion, etc.

I think a combination of all these things just make it unattractive for investment or economic ties with other countries, but it’s also difficult to attract talent. Local talent would prefer to leave. It would take a total reboot of the country, away from its ethnostate roots from the mid 1900s, and with a totally different system of government, for it to turn the corner. But that’s a hard sell to a population that is now overwhelmingly in favor of things the way they are.

This looks like Eelco was forced into a corner by a base of progressive extremists who wield terms like "concern trolling" and "sealioning" as weapons to crush dissent.

There are a number of comments in the thread of this announcement that are gray-text reported as "off topic" despite their restrained and on-topic tone. One commenter, dedguy21, has all of his comments flagged asking what exactly they're protecting minorities from until they finally admit they're a black man.

This is all pretty bad news for discourse in open source projects. And no, I'm not "concern trolling". We see it in action in the announcement thread, where dissenting opinions are pushed out of sight.

That we've come to a point where people are simply washed out of view for "harmful" rhetoric that isn't some particularly dominant viewpoint is a regression of discourse.

It's actually mind blowing considering the tiny amount of Japanese text in the GPT-4 corpus (IIRC it's around 0.1%).

>> And I thought having a write-only scp would be really interesting

I think you can achieve that at the file system level. At least, a long long time ago I maintained a public server with exactly that functionality. I’ve forgotten the details now but if I were tasked with this today my first attempt would be add a sticky bit like we do with /tmp: chmod +t dropbox/

If you don’t want to allow me to delete or overwrite my own files I believe (but haven’t tested) that chattr +a on the dropbox dir would achieve that.

First of all, I like the idea. But I have questions.

What does logging look like for this?

I don't think it would be too difficult to log commands run with polkit, but is there an equivalent of sudo I/O logs? My guess is there isn't now, but to fully replace sudo it will probably need a way to record everything on the ptty it creates.

What environment variables does it forward by default? From the man page it sounds like SHELL is. What about TERM? Any others? What environment variables are set? What is PATH set to?

How are signals handled? Will a signal sent to the run0 process be propagated to the priveleged process?

What about sudoedit? How would I achieve similar functionality with run0?

Except that author argues for "the market" to be more in charge than governments, which baffles me because the market is also people. I'd be surprised if people pretend the market is still rational: see nfts. Or the modern stock market.

Not to mention the market irrationally rewards short term good (or even bad) and long term bad behavior, but it does it consistently, so no long term good behavior can ever win out. See: oil and gas industry.

All solutions that try to handwave people out of the equation, which includes market based ones, are the wrong path imo. The author was heading in the right direction when writing about economic education and fighting misinformation, imo that's the correct path, we can't permanently fix stupid since our brains are all basically completely broken, but we can mitigate. Utopia may be unreachable but I think we can improve.
Figma is the gold standard when it comes to performance and optimization, and is basically a native app that happens to be inside your browser. The co-founder and previous CTO Evan Wallace also created esbuild which powers most of the modern bundling tools.

The only other web app I can think of doing the same thing is Google Docs, which uses it's own canvas based renderer with an svg overlay for accessibility. I feel it's telling that Google thought leaning on their own browser (through HTML/CSS) wasn't even good enough for typesetting.

Plus, what your are declaring is often times not the state you desire but... action you want to take. Say you use `apt.name: [pkg1, pkg2]`, run it, then remove `pkg2` from the list. Running this again won't remove `pkg2` from your system. So it's declarative, but not necessarily on the optimal level all the times.

Unfortunately, this:

Isn't really a good workaround when lacking an enumeration type. The compiler can't complain when you use a value that isn't in the list of enumerations. The compiler can't warn you when your switch statement doesn't handle one of the cases.

Refactoring is harder - when you add a new value to the enum, you can't easily find all those places that may require logic changes to handle the new value.

Enums are a big thing I miss when writing Go, compared to when writing C.
Well … I don't have a consistent workload (our load is highly diurnal, enough so that you can spot lunch) but we just mostly don't deal with the complexity of it. For many things, we just alloc 3 VMs, across 3 zones — we really don't need more?¹ — and so the next scaling step is to 0.

¹I think the thing here is that for most of the jobs I've worked … we're really not doing "big" things. The complexity is all business logic or how the product does what it does, not scale.

(We do provision some CI compute on-demand, so that scales with load, so it's not all fixed.)

I think the last "ooh, fun compute!" thing I did was like almost 10 years ago now where we had a huge job that needed to run. But it was sort of the opposite of the stuff in this thread: since it wasn't on-demand, we could run it whenever. That ended up being at night on spot-priced VMs, when they were cheap.

My house was built recently, and the modern aesthetic that builders are producing in my part of the country is very sterile, spare/spartan, gray, and open-concept. I currently intend to stay in this house until my kids are off, but I still have real estate searches going for the older neighborhoods a town over, because those houses have more character.

What do I mean by "character"? I don't really know, I'm not a designer or architect, but I know what I like. They have wood flooring, but not the modern wood flooring with just identical 4" wide planks (and usually not even actual wood), I'm talking craftsmanship with patterns of different types and colors of wood. They have wood moulding, trim, and millwork around windows, doors, ceilings, and fireplaces. There are trees in those neighborhoods older than my parents.

I sometimes think that I'd like to design some of those elements as upgrades to this house, but even if I had the money, time, and patience for the task, I don't have the mind for it. It would need to be a complete overhaul, because:

> If there is ornamentation everywhere, the ornamentation is natural. Like in a church.

> Where you have a modern glass or minimalist pulpit. It just looks so out of place.

Even if I tried, I'm fairly sure the result would end up obviously-tacked-on (and thus tacky), looking like a dignified, stately older house in the same way the cybertruck looks like a pickup truck.
