I don't. I miss that Internet, and am always seeking bits here and there where it can be found and enjoyed.

The other thing I miss from that time is USENET. So damn great, until it got swamped by noise. Some parts of it remain active today.

Threaded conversation is fantastic. And it's searchable. So damn much can be found in the USENET archives. The modern tools we have today aren't the same at all, mostly super functional silos. Not bad. Also, just not very good!

Finally, mailing lists. Those are still a thing, and like USENET, are searchable, high value communication exchanges.

Reddit is a lot like USENET. And the original charter around the Aaron time was similar, basically by users, for users kind of thing. Now the enshittification is happening everywhere near constantly devaluing online discourse.

The way I see it, those of us who do miss the great things about this early Internet time can keep talking about it, and one day, one of us, or one we talk to, will figure out how to reboot USENET for all of us to enjoy just as was done back in the day.

> I really don't know how I can make my explanation simpler.

Not making up some elaborate story that you now are trying to say didn't even happen would be a good start. What you are actually trying to communicate is not complicated at all. It didn't need a story. Not sure what you were thinking when you decided fiction writing was a good idea, but I certainly had fun making fun of you for it! So, at least it was not all for not.
I really don't like either idea, and don't understand why is this such a big issue...

Working with Web interface for anything code-related is a huge downside. Workflow doesn't matter at this point, the usability of this approach, no matter what it does is so bad, it's not worth discussing further.

The best way it ever worked for me is that:

1. PR author creates a PR and gets assigned a reviewer.

2. The reviewer leaves a commit with

# REVIEW(reviewer): Comments

3. Then the PR author changes something or argues back.

4. If reviewer is happy, the author gets to organize the commits in whatever sequence they want (this would typically involve something like squashing everything, removing review comments if they are no longer necessary, and then splitting the PR into logical parts). Otherwise we go back to (2).

No need for complicated workflows, no need for any kind of external system...
Postgres 17rc1 looks great with sysbench on a small and large server
There is a nice TLDR at the top of the post:

- 17rc1 looks great - there are no big regressions and several big improvements
- There might be small regressions (~2%) from Postgres 15 and 16 to 17 but this benchmark was not setup to diagnose that.

Not sure I understand this point, how does SQLite fix the N+1 query problem? Just by having the data co-located with the app and avoiding the round-trip latency hit?

If so, I'd argue you still have N+1 problems, you just won't notice them until N gets a bit larger.

> Given React and Next’s wider use and longer history, it’s likely most LLMs are trained on more React and Next code than Svelte code. Ditto for FastHTML. This could lead to coding assistants being more effective when working with and suggesting code for established frameworks such as FastAPI, React, and Next.js.

Yes, but also more stale code from old versions which use patterns that the community has for various reasons moved on from. I ran into a lot of trouble with deprecated patterns while teaching myself react last year with assistants on the side. React 17 and prior version patterns kept coming up all the time.

The thing that people consistently miss with these types of conversations is that any increase in the sophistication of the tech that exists to measure the world gives a relative benefit to corporations over individuals.

This is because those organizations almost always have more resources to dedicate towards making effective use of that information than do individuals.

Very often you as an individual are up against a team of PhDs and engineers whose job it is to enable the corporation to beat you, and the more data they have, the more likely they are to win.

In this respect, there is basically no tech that does not benefit corporations more strongly than it benefits individuals. This is one of the reasons that regulation is important.

Lambda Lens-bringing high visibility to Lambda performance metrics
Finding specific metrics on AWS CloudWatch to optimize Lambda functions can be overwhelming. Developers seeking to reduce cold starts, monitor latency, and track billed duration often struggle with inefficient navigation and a cluttered UI. As a result, performance optimization takes longer than it should, and critical issues may go unnoticed.Lambda Lens is designed to simplify this process by offering a dashboard that provides immediate visibility into your AWS Lambda functions. With Lambda Lens, you’ll have access to key metrics like cold starts, average billed duration, and much more — all displayed in a clean and intuitive interface.

> It's not enough for people to care, but it can be important if you're building something that needs to carry a lot of weight.

The problem is that the article presents these "corrections" without being clear what context they're important in. The examples given make it sound like the author is railing against people who use these forms in regular conversational speech. And even the longer explanations after the table still make it seem like the author isn't only concerned with formal/scientific writing.

So yes, in scientific papers, I do think this list is a reasonably good guide (though good luck getting particle physicists to give up electron-volts, or people writing about electrical power systems to give up kWh). But for everyday use it feels unnecessarily nitpicky.

For the specific mass vs. weight example, especially, regular conversation (spoken or written) is pretty much always going to use the term "weight", and using "mass" would feel stiff and unnatural.
> I disagree, the article is not about Waymo cars. 99% of the article is about some Amazon-owned robotaxi company.

I disagree. The article is about how robot taxis in general aren't as robotic as they seem, which includes Waymo. It focused on that Amazon-owned robotaxi company as an example, because they allowed the NYT to peek behind the scenes, which greatly helps in explaining what's going on.

> Waymo has used this kind of limited remote operation for years and talked about it publicly [0].

I don't get your objection that the NYT article applies to Waymo, since you acknowledge Waymo has similar human operators behind the scenes doing similar things.
This is an excellent article! I wonder if there is any equivalent for Django?

ArchiveBox uses SQLite via django and I've run into exactly the issue the author describes in rails fairly often. It would be awesome to have a SQLite-layer solution that doesn't require serializing all my writes through some other channel in the app.

Sometimes people do really ridiculous stuff with their homelabs, like this guy: https://youtu.be/-b3t37SIyBs?si=t_h49fv594dChYf9

Tongue-in-cheek on that of course. ;)
True, but when do you even have it explained. Last time I was purchasing a car for wife, the clerk simply made a crack about how my information is now all theirs ( I forgot the exact phrasing ). And those are people who are motivated to make sure you buy so thus incentivized to make sure you are not put off.

And don't even get me started on an average person. I get blank stares when I go on a privacy rant. At best, they simply do not have time to care.
It is in fact an emotional view. That doesn't make it out of date, however.

When you've lived through enough piles of barely-working garbage produced by contractors who didn't understand, or coworkers who didn't care, you'll know why they were emotional. You'll also have a suspicion that they are not yet out of date.
> all the actual details of using email are, I would estimate, about 1,000x shittier in 2024 than using GitHub in 2008

Disagree about "all". Tracking patches in need of review is better done in a good MUA than on github. I can suspend a review mid-series, and continue with the next patch two days later. Writing comments as manually numbered, plaintext paragraphs, inserted at the right locations of the original patch is also lightyears better than the clunky github interface. For one, github doesn't even let you attach comments to commit message lines. For another, github's data model ties comments to lines of the cumulative diff, not to lines of specific patches. This is incredibly annoying, it can cause your comment for patch X to show up under patch Y, just because patch Y includes context from patch X.

Edited to add: github also has no support for git-notes. git-notes is essential for maintaining patch-level changelogs between rebases. Those patch-level changelogs are super helpful to reviewers. The command line git utilities, such as git-format-patch, git-rebase, git-range-diff, all support git-notes.

I liken it to the impulse aisle at the grocery store.

In my experience, they will send you discounts (BOGO) or free stuff when you're most likely to buy. One of my teammates and I both installed their mobile app. I would get free coupons for like nachos or a taco on the days that I regularly went, usually in the mornings and the coupons were only good for about 24 hours. Conversely, my hockey teammate used to get his later in the afternoon because he was religious about stopping on the way home from our gams which was usually pretty late at night.

They're banking on (and usually right) that if they give you a small carrot for something free, you'll use the app to buy more stuff. In my experience it really took a lot for me to not buy more than I needed. So I would include the freebie along with whatever else I was buying to try and save a buck or two. Whereas my teammate would get his normal order plus whatever freebie they were offering.

either way, it worked. Many times instead of going somewhere else, I would go there, and use their mobile app and get my freebies.

I hear what you’re saying, but this idea of a golden age under rule by some outside force is often the positive take about many historical periods where someone who committed significant crimes (invasions, genocides, etc) is then praised hundreds of years later because of the positive effect they had for the economy or whatever. Julius Caesar is one such example that comes to mind.

But I feel that approach sometimes discounts what the country and its people could have achieved on their own if they were not invaded. For example, the Taj Mahal is just one building in India. There are lots of other structures that exist that were not built under rule from outside invaders, but they never get attention (at least I’ve not heard of them). With Britain - you mentioned that they unified India and brought stability but how true is that if you compare it to the period of India much earlier? India was rocked by Islamic invasions (which led to the Mughal period) and colonized by those Islamic rulers for hundreds of years. That’s what the European colonizers took over. Is that really a fair period to compare against? India basically spent a millennium ruled by one outside genocidal invader or the other. I am guessing the period before that was more peaceful and not in need of some outside unifying force to feel ‘stable’.
No. I bitched about it on an old social media platform called Twitter but it never got any traction.
a lot of companies already do this - in the UK they call it benchmarking. they get data from companies they compete with for talent, from data-brockers i.e people who buy compensation data from companies. then set your pay based on what those companies are paying.

Is it not possible for "proper" management, rather than mismanagement, to result in downsizing a bloated org that over-hired, or lowering compensation in an employee-friendly hiring environment where a bunch of senior employees where laid off across the industry?

No. IPv6 deployment is tricky (though accelerating), but not all that scary, because it's easy to run IPv4 and IPv6 alongside each other; virtually everybody running IPv6 does that.

The problem with DNSSEC is that deploying it breaks DNS. Anything that goes wrong with your DNSSEC configuration is going to knock your whole site off the Internet for a large fraction of Internet users.
Which is a roundabout way to say what they actually do, which is to offer "price sensitive" consumers the same prices they used to offer everyone if they are willing to go through stupid hoops worth of "deals" and "coupons" and "engage with our app every day or else your Good Little Consumer (tm) score goes down and we stop giving you discount pricing", and then raise the prices for everyone else.

Price discrimination is about raising prices.

I wonder if they A/B tested the EEVDF scheduler? Allegedly it is supposed to reduce noisy neighbour effects in multi tenanted environments.

It would be interesting if kubernetes had stronger CPU isolation techniques. There is the static cpu manager which will dedicate cores for a specific container but I believe it isn’t smart enough to know about hyperthreads and so you can still get a noisy neighbour running on the other hyperthread of the core.

Ideally I would like to see kubernetes slice out a certain number of cores for the system daemons/kernel, IRQs, and NIC buffers. Some very low latency systems running on top of kubernetes recommend using isolcpus to do this but it would be nice to have something built into the kubernetes CPU manager to do this. A container running inside the guaranteed QoS class should have exclusive access to the cores and never be pre-empted.

A lot of people have been priced out of some things, including fast food. I've got the cash to spend, but some prices are so high at this point that I can't order out like I used to without feeling ripped off, so I don't.

Another side effect of the pandemic is that spending habits changed and people realized how easily they could do without foods and products they were used to getting. When people weren't able to get the things they wanted they were forced to try alternatives, or even cooking for themselves in some cases, when they wouldn't have otherwise.

I know exactly what you're talking about! I used to go there so often as a kid and definitely remember the crack. (Also nearby was that exhibit where you could perform electrolysis on some water. It had a "push to start" button that was activated by touching some glass with a button outlined by a red decal. I still don't know how that works.)

Something else stuck in my head from that museum was the Operation Lifesaver displays around the model train exhibit. I think my dad was a little freaked out by how many times I wanted to watch the video of the train hitting a car.

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed every time I visit a museum because of how much fun I had at MSI as a kid. I think a lot of that was from being a kid, but ... good museum.
