> Hi! I created Grace. AMA...

Could you update the project's README.md to say right on the first paragraph objectively what Grace is and what are it's main selling point, followed by a example of Grace's happy path?

The document as it stands just presents a list of vague buzzwords that are irrelevant for a VCS (cloud-native?!) and even after scrolling half way through the doc the reader still has no good clue what he is reading about, let alone why they should bother with Grace.

A paragraph with an objective description would be helpful, followed by a small example presenting Grace's happy path. All the marketingspeak just gets in the way.

Keep in mind this is likely a hit piece in a press war. Telegram and Signal regularly attack each other, accusing the other of security and privacy failures. The number of times the author uses subjective words like “weird” and “bizarre” in a strictly technical analysis exposes their bias.

See Durov’s (Telegram founder) recent announcement regarding Signal.

https://t.me/durov/274

> A story shared by Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, uncovered that the current leaders of Signal, an allegedly “secure” messaging app, are activists used by the US state department for regime change abroad

> Unlike Telegram, Signal doesn’t allow researchers to make sure that their GitHub code is the same code that is used in the Signal app run on users’ iPhones. Signal refused to add reproducible builds for iOS, closing a GitHub request from the community. And WhatsApp doesn’t even publish the code of its apps, so all their talk about “privacy” is an even more obvious circus trick .

Of course they're not considering the context or alternatives. They're holding up a mirror; nothing more. This is a comedy show, not a political science thesis.

In fact, they went to great lengths to avoid making the show content partisan. It was ridiculing the system, not any parties in particular.

I fail to see in what way this is a Chesterton's fence situation... They're not recommending any course of action at all; merely showing what a mess politics can be.
I consider simple HTML pages as a quality signal. Whereas if the content is posted on a large platform, I'll consider it likely to be rubbish (if I can read the content at all without demands to install the app, sign up, or subscribe).

Almost anything is "possible", but this seems entirely implausible, based on extrapolation that goes at least an order of magnitude beyond anything supportable by evidence or careful argument. Can you name any other examples of this happening throughout history, in the US or anywhere else, where a completely self-isolated tiny minority group took power and displaced everyone through "out-procreating" them?

To be honest I really dislike this kind of vague speculative fearmongering when targeted at specific minority groups, which seems extremely dangerous. It historically blends right into overt bigotry and sectarian oppression.

The US has a long, proud tradition of all sorts of unusual sects and cults trying to do their own thing, often in somewhat closed communities, sometimes to the dismay of their neighbors, sometimes failing pretty badly, but usually without really breaking fair laws or causing serious mischief to anyone else (but also occasionally breaking a lot of laws and hurting people; the police should go after such cults). We all owe quite a few of the rights we take for granted to the hard struggle of some of these groups to make their own choices.

Yes, fundraising can be stressful and time consuming. But in general showing up ill prepared is boring for everyone. No conversation that starts from 0 and is 20-30 minutes can be truly interesting to either party, because it's just an exercise in each side trying to put each other in a variety of 'boxes' - 'We're the Harvey AI of RE' 'We're the only REAL VC built by founders, for founders'. I haven't built a successful business by boring people to tears with ill-founded aphorisms, so it's nice not to have those 'hows the weather' chats with VCs.

Adding one text line in System Requirements page, no any coding, is telling devs what to do? There is a reason why the System Requirement pages exist.
I agree that it should seem obvious to introduce a "UUID with sortable timestamp first then a bunch of random bytes" much earlier, probably alongside v4 or something. But then the complaint is, "why did it take many decades before they made this variant", not "why did it take them 7 iterations".
* On Liberty - John Stuart Mills

I find it strange when people recommend censorship and somehow equate that to advancing democratic norms. Most recently I saw such perverted absurdities here on HN when Israelis users were justifying the expulsion of unfriendly news media. I cannot help but go back to Mills.
Dutch people demand to know what is fishy about making a black face, dressing up in colonial clothes and acting childish. They think this is “empty talk”. There is a long, long list of these kinds of “cultural” behaviors. Especially the rural area is particularly backwards.

I don’t know what to say. Meet some people outside your bubble. It certainly helped me.

Anyway, the Dutch and their deep-rooted racism are only superficially related to this issue.

My main point was to say that there exists the possibility that you may be wrong about holding on to outdated norms and changing things might be a good idea. Sinterklaas is just a particularly obvious one, but as you show, a lot of people still have some way to go.

I hadn't realised Jin-Roh was from the same creator. And I can see why it wasn't a success: Jin-Roh is dark, properly dystopian, confusing, and unforgiving. But underneath there is a retold story of the little red riding-hood, in the original Grimm fashion.

Following this logic, how do you feel about automated tests? Without those, there'd be a much larger market for manual testers then there is currently..

I'm just confused about this standpoint, you seem to be opposed to actually delivering value to your employer? Sounds like you have a bad boss or something, maybe switch jobs? Or heck, create your own company if you want a bigger piece of the cake.

I'm probably missing something about your philosophy, because from where I'm standing, it kinda seems like you're saying that because you have learned programming, you're not only entitled to free money, but you also want an equal share to those who have both put in work and taken on risk to create the company you work for?

Which all kinda sounds like what you actually want is UBI, but only for you and your friends (who have higher education).

What am I missing?
> "anything goes" languages such as LISP have struggled to gain widespread adoption: with no philosophy every programmer becomes an island unto themselves.

There are already two misconceptions.

First: "Lisp has no programming philosophies" and styles.

Not every program starts by zero. Since Lisp exists since the end 1950s, it has seen quite a lot in programming styles over the years and it may contain traces of several. Generally it may support more than one programming paradigm. For example during the Common Lisp standardization there was a wish to have a standardized object system. So instead of the multiple possible approaches (actors, message passing, prototype-based, ...), Common Lisp has just one: CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System. So, much of the object-oriented code written in CL is implemented in one particular object system: CLOS. Object Lisp, Flavors, LOOPs, Common Objects, and a bunch of other once had thus been replaced by one standard.

CLOS also defines a bunch of user-level macros: DEFCLASS, DEFMETHOD, DEFGENERIC, ... Everyone using CL & CLOS will use those macros.

Second: "every programmer becomes an island unto themselves". If we look at the way CLOS was designed: there was a core group of six people from three companies. Around that there was a mailing-list based communication with a large group of interested people. Early on a prototype was implemented as a portable implementation of CLOS. This was widely distributed among interested parties: implementors, companies, research groups, ... Then reports about the language extension and its layers were published, books were published, application & library code was published.

One of famous books coming out of this effort: "The Art of the Meta-Object Protocol". It contained also a toy implementation of CLOS in Common Lisp. Book and the implementation of CLOS (both the larger prototype and the toy implementation) showed in excellent quality how to write object-oriented Lisp code.

https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262610742/the-art-of-the-metaob...

So, there are communities, which share code and coding styles. Not every programmer is alone and starts from zero.
The amber/teal stuff is mostly because it makes the foreground warmer and the backgrounds colder drawing the audience's focus. Or so the theory goes. I think it's just more of a case of "fuck it, no one is going to complain if we do this"

It is worded as an accusation for what might’ve been an innocent mistake. Look how many times the author uses the word “weird”, a very subjective word to use in a seemingly technical analysis.
"We've built X. It allows you to run graphical applications over a network."

"Here's an optimization for when the X display is the same machine as the process."

"We've built Wayland. We all run applications on the same machine as the display and X gets in the way."

"We'd like to run applications from machines over the internet."

"We've built Wprs. It allows you to run graphical applications over a network."

That's the circle of life.....
> A better question is: why does git only have one gesture for it, when devs clearly use it to mean different things already?

Do they, though? I mean, most users simply use a GUI layer on top of Git, and thus often are oblivious to what Git is doing under the hood.

> All of the squash vs. no squash debate, which may or may not influence the way you use `git commit`, is a workaround - that we've forgotten is a workaround - for the fact that Git has only one way to say it.

No, not really. At best it's a debate over which branching strategy a team wants to standardize over.

I happen to be working in a team which after months of doing non-ff merges of PRs it's starting to favor squash merges, and there is absolutely no discussion over the topic. Everything boiled down to "the history looks noisy, let's squash to remove noise as GitHub still tracks feature branches", followed by "sure, why not? If this doesn't work out we can fall back to non-ff". Done.
Congrats, looks great!

> Attack on Titan

Ugh. Such an incredibly padded, dragged out story. :( :( :(

Maybe the first season was decent, but after the 3rd season it was mostly just boring to the point where skipping episodes didn't miss anything.

Never bothered to watch anything after about the 3rd season. It became far too tedious.

Yeah, Frieren was good. It closely matches the manga version of the story, though the manga goes on quite lot further story wise.

Should be plenty more seasons of material ready for adaptation there. :)

Ostensibly yes. Or maybe Apple has missed the mark on their apology too...

A few weeks to understand a technology you’re gonna be working with for years to come is nothing.

Isn’t that a positive aspect? It’s well studied and there are wealths of info about it for just about anything you need to do.

I see Grace less as a git replacement and more as its own niche. I certainly see the benefits of easier onboarding and centralization for companies and education but those who grew up with git will likely keep using it

The point of advertisement is to attract people to the product. If the ad alienates enough of their potential user base, it totally makes sense to try to take that back, and make amends. To me, that alone is enough ground for retraction/apologies.

100% agree on this.

What I'd really like to see is less software in an EV, complete isolation between higher and lower functions, normal physical controls and an ability to run the thing entirely disconnected from the manufacturer's dragnet. It should be able to charge and be driven with all critical instruments working fully disconnected from anything and without software updates.

My colleagues who drive EVs regularly are always having a panic about software updates which break things.

I currently don't own a car as I live in a big city but I do rent one occasionally and did own a Model S for a very short time. If I was to buy a car I'd like an EV next time, but not in the current state of things.
The ridicule is (well written) cheap laughs from a mostly Thatcherite direction. The same ostensible critique of "the system" (i.e. the British civil service) was a cornerstone of Thatcher's whole career and political movement. They didn't need to specify parties, and it's no surprise why it was Thatcher's favorite show.

It's a similar mindset as Reagan's "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I’m here to help.'" Sure, folks should have some healthy skepticism of unsolicited offers from anyone including the government, but adopted literally this mindset is totally corrosive to a functioning society.

It's almost a human universal that existing complex systems are frustrating to ideologues who don't yet understand how anything works but have big dreams of radical transformation to match their own imagination and are then confronted by push-back from many directions. Criticizing complex systems is easy: they're always full of apparent (and real) inefficiencies, inconsistencies, etc. Understanding how they function and how they came about is a lot harder, requiring a capacity for nuance, humility, and years of effort.

In practice those slogans and jokes turned out to be smokescreen for a massive grift, privatizing previously public institutions and resources to the benefit of a few close buddies, shredding labor rights, institutionalizing more overt and personally profitable forms of corruption, dismantling or undermining all sorts of systems set up to protect people from harm, and generally undermining the social fabric for the benefit of the wealthy.

By all means, watch and enjoy the show. Just don't take it too literally or base your public policy on it.
> Not a problem I thought I needed to solve, but okay. Also this means I can't easily run it locally?

Makes me wonder how sharp an image one needs to see in the rear view mirror to drive. Or do drivers really look to such a screen for over a second while driving?

And of course, getting rid of the front window, too, would get rid of the accommodation issue, but I do not see that being accepted by car drivers soon.

Wouldn't be surprised if AMD or Intel come up with an FPGA especially for this application. Atleast AMD advertises a lot with their AI FPGA stuff, so they'll probably build one with either a lot more BRAM or the ability to attach some very fast RAM? But going from a few Megabytes of RAM to Gigabytes sounds very expensive. DRAM is just too slow, I guess
> To be fair Ive been using for git for 8 years and I still dont quite understand it beyond the basics.

I don't see why this is supposed to be a problem. What constitutes "the basics" is what you use in your everyday routine, and if that works perfectly well then there is absolutely no need to do something you never need to do.
