It was a shitshow, you'd have GD tell us a site was complete and show up and find no equipment or equipment on pallets. GD rather than the equipment vendors were the villains, it was subcontractor-o-rama, and no one was responsible for anything. There was one site I went to like six times to inventory non-existent equipment - never mind when they decided to preload the inventory but used the barcodes on the samsung gear that didnt match anything.. I escalated that to Ericsson and then Sprint directly (it mattered for ericsson, because they'd have failed ATLAS audits), about two weeks later all that vanished, and we got a tranche of tickets to go reinventory everything.

I also saw at least half a dozen sites, cut and in service still sitting on their pallets, such a mess.

Imagine for a moment you go off to the crusades, leave the barn to one group, the fields to another group, and leave the house to a third group, then gleave no one in charge and give them no way to communicate beyond the most informal means - and you're surprised everything is on fire upon your return?

In the end it did work once it was done, but it was only hell for the customer during deployment because it was deployed and cut in a hopscotch fashion, which would be fine, if you could roam from new back to old - there was a one way roam, from old to new, once on new, there was no path to roam back.

Yes. I think the canonical fear that there would be nuclear power plants next to daycares is nonsense and that private developers acting in their own interests would manage to identify market demand, experiment in fulfilling that demand, and the result would be the creation from the ground up of best practices for creating vibrant communities - until market preferences shift. And when those preferences shift I think private developers would be far quicker to adapt than central planners.

I find it wild how much the west abhors eastern communist central planning and then adopts it for the very fabric of its communities.

> Why would "the path name you entered is not valid Unicode/UTF-8" be a good error message, if the path actually exists on the system?

Some programs have to cope with arbitrary file names. (So yes, cp shouldn't require filenames to be UTF-8.) The vast majority don't.

I maintain a Rust crate called camino [1], the readme for which outlines the general philosophy. The fact is that simply enforcing that the file paths you deal with are always UTF-8 greatly simplifies a lot of code.

> Also, what does "jank" mean here? What do you gain by treating file names as Unicode instead of byte sequences, for the majority of programs that don't even need to display the name, except perhaps in logs?

If you ever have filenames in a text file, how do you match them up with filenames on disk? If you try to support the full space of filenames that can possibly exist on a platform, there is no general, cross-platform solution for doing so. (This is known as the "makefile problem", and if you find the right wiki page you'll see a large table exploring all the possibilities and their tradeoffs.) And if you start pulling that thread, you'll unravel a very large number of problems trying to handle non-Unicode output in reality.

But you can simply cut the knot by restricting filenames to Unicode, and most programs should do that.

For example, I work at Oxide. Why would any of our services want any internal filenames to be anything but UTF-8 (or really ASCII)? Trying to support weird filenames is unnecessary complexity. So we just use camino.

I worked at deviantArt from 2009 to 2013. It was my dream job. At the time deviantArt made money a few ways.

In no particular order, because I don't know which were profitable or which represented a larger portion of revenue:

- Subscriptions (users could pay for a few extra features and to disable ads on the site)
- DeviantArt branded merch.
- Prints and products with users' art printed on them
- Sponsored Contests. These promoted movies or other media properties, or software of interest to artists. Often the prizes included Wacom tablets and Adobe Photoshop licenses.

During my time there a significant problem we were dealing with was due to deviantArt's stance on adult content. Anything was allowed as long as it wasn't outright pornography. In practice that meant that nudes were allowed but sexual acts were not. This had consequences for deviantArt's revenue. It meant that we could not run ads from the "reputable" ad networks and were forced to deal with seedier outfits that often (e.g. constantly) included malware in the display ads, exposing users to all sorts of nasty stuff. One of my projects was to detect and/or prevent the malware ads which proved challenging and at least given the amount of resources devoted to it, it was not very fruitful.

It really is sad for me to see what deviantArt has devolved into. Once the original founders sold out a few years ago I really didn't hold out much hope for the site's future.
Not true at all, I worked there for a week. Clearly very wealthy African group on top of the marina Bay sands where we were paying like NZD$30 per vodka soda and these guys had multiple magnums of champagne, openly smoking weed.

Since it is also pretty bad with tic tac toe in a text-only format, I tested it with the following prompt:

Lets play tic tac toe. Try hard to win (note that this is a solved game). I will upload images of a piece of paper with the state of the game after each move. You will go first and will play as X. Play by choosing cells with a number 1-9; the cells are in row-major order. I will then draw your move, and my move as O, before sending you the board state as an image. You will respond with another move. You may think out loud to help you play. Note if your move will give you a win. Go.

It failed pretty miserably. First move it played was cell 1, which I think is pretty egregious given that I specified that the game is solved and that the center cell is the best choice (and it isn't like ttt is an obscure game). It played valid moves for the next couple of turns but then missed an opportunity to block me. After I uploaded the image showing my win it tried to keep playing by placing an X over one of my plays and claiming it won in column 1 (it would've won in column 3 if its play had been valid).
Are you saying that because most people don’t agree on exactly what should be done then nothing should be done?
"commoditized by their vendors" is exactly the phrase I was looking for. It's why I wanted my co to self-host Mattermost instead of using Slack.
Bingo. Some rich shmuck who's collecting Imagineering memorabilia and Avatar 3D movie cutouts will see that on Ebay and think it's a great deal. Maybe another 20 such people ignore it because it's sketchy (or because they read an article like this), but somebody less-informed will take the risk and give the seller a profit.

When I first read the article, my knee-jerk reaction was that this is a victimless crime. If you pay $700 for a laminated square that has an Apple employee on it, you probably shouldn't get upset when your due-diligence fails you and it's a fake.

Let's mention the missing step: don't even bother to run the code.

I'm simply embarrassed to admit how often I've been in teams that not only "don't use the software" (i.e. no dogfooding) but even "don't run the program". It's embarrassing. These types of teams miss bugs that get shipped because not one of the people involved in making that software has ever even actually run the damn app, let alone actually used it for any length of time.

This is shameful and embarrassing. Our profession is a joke. How can we even call ourselves professionals?

Don't count on it. At times, they believed everybody would.

It's complicated because concepts varied over time, and people had maybe five or eight souls (alright, soul-aspects) and there were two or three thousand years over which this changed (sometimes for ideological reasons).

That’s an oversimplification. Migration and intermarriage means that modern Egyptians will have ancestors from all over North Africa and the Middle East, and to a lesser extent from Europe. They’re not all descended from ancient Egyptians.

When talking about cryptography, its always important to think about what you are keeping secret and who are you keeping it secret from.

Afaict identity based cryptography requires a trusted third party. If you already have a trusted third party, might as well skip all this complexity and just communicate through them.

> This is why I like to use LLMs to write the code to manipulate my data

One of the nice things about human programmers is that you can derive intent and create responsibility. Sometimes we have to encode that in a commit message or ticket, but it's there. When you find out that subtly the program was piping all data into devnull without realizing it you at least have a human to figure out how you got here. Another example of this is the xz debacle.

What are you supposed to do when that's a thousand layers deep? What about when your next generation of programmer's ability to do things is exceptionally stunted by this effort?

It seems logically obvious to me that infidelity would be almost completely unrelated to happiness in a relationship because it doesn't matter how happy or unhappy I am, cheating is off limits.

To someone for whom that is not the case, why would it matter if they are happy or unhappy?

As the article states - being cheated "on" is not a matter of what you've done, someone who isn't inclined that way won't do it ever. I don't even put myself in situations in which the temptation would be there e.g. hanging out with members of the opposite sex.

In contrast, I've "stolen" carrier bags from the supermarket ever since the bag tax came in in the UK. The expense is trivial, I'd never even notice the difference. I just don't agree with the value system there, so wherever I can get away with it I do.

Some people feel that way about relationships. I think it's wrong and abhorrent, but then I feel like a lot of what goes on nowadays is pretty weird, so eh.
