Yes when you are in charge of that then it is something different.

In our company we luckily have the possibility to run containers at all those stages (we are also developing container images for customers) but as developer it's still a good thing to know alternatives. It may save you time because requiring containers decides whether your build can only run on 10 new linux build agents or on all 80 that are currently deployed.

DoorDash uses AI to add descriptions to menu items at some restaurants. The first time I noticed it, the description was for macaroni and cheese, and there is no way the actual product was going to match the gourmet description AI came up with.

How many _other_ important things have "slipped your mind"?

This isn't about ssh keys specifically, it's using ssh keys as a canary - an example of a thing someone who has internalised enough Linux sysadmin and security knowledge will automatically get right. It's shorthand for all the other hundreds of things that need doing to properly secure a public internet connected Linux machine.

This is a way bigger thing that adding a few lines explaining ssh keys.

Perhaps firewall config has also "slipped you mind"? Or TLS certs and renewals? Or shutting down unneeded service started by your distro? Or managing logfiles? Or monitoring disk space/memory usage/cpu usage? Or keeping your JVM/Nodejs/Python/PHP/whatever up to date with security patches? Or maintaining your software BOM and all the security update notification channels for everything you're running whether you installed it ir whether it got bundled in as a dependancy of something else you installed? (Think zx or Log4J)

Or maybe's since you're just "rusty", you're looking for all the sysvinit files you remember being important, not realising your chosen distro now uses systemd. Or your previous experience was on machines from before the era of speculative execution attacks, or from when it was considered acceptable to hash passwords using crypt or MD5?

I don't know when you were doing colo servers while ssh keys "were not in vogue". In the late 90s I was flying annual round the world trips to visit our colo facilities in London, New York, and San Francisco - with half a dozen hard drives in my luggage because replacing raid1 arrays was a better/cheaper solution for us than uploading over our available bandwidth over 56k modems or ADSL. All those machines had ssh keys. It was standard practice.

But yeah, maybe you're right and my 30 years experience and hard earned advice is just "gatekeeping". Same with Rachel the article author's decades of experience (at way higher levels than mine). I'm sure that your assertions of it being "Incorrect. Wildly incorrect" is not another one of the things that've slipped your mind or that you're a bit rusty on. Feel free to assume that having ssh keys "slip you mind" doesn't mean you have a lot to learn (or relearn) before being capable of securely/professionally managing a colo-ed server.
I run my own Wordpress server for a blog, and IMO it's basically fine if you use reasonable deployment management practices and don't install 500 random crap plugins and themes. The basic install is about as bulletproof as it gets in the mainstream web software business.

I don't particularly love PHP, but you don't need to touch it if you don't try to write any plugins. Yes, some of its practices are pretty wacky, like every plugin has full access to the filesystem and database to do basically anything, and the system expects to be able to update code files in place from web requests, but meh, just give it it's own $5 server and let it do its thing, and definitely be very careful which plugins you use and how you get them.

What you get in return for this is a perfectly fine CMS that anyone with basic computer skills can run. Yeah, static site generators are cool and all that from a tech expert's perspective, but nobody who isn't a tech expert can actually do anything with them, and oh, by the way, the ability to make any changes at all typically involves at the very least SSH access to the host server with full write permissions.

- Warnings on unused expression results. Check

- Typed primitives. The level of ergonomics this is implemented with in F# I'll say Rust doesn't have this

- Explicit conversions. Check

- Functional approach to concurrency. I think Rust's compile time safety against data races gives this a check. I've used channels for concurrent server processes, it's nice. Check

- Explicit dependency injection. I've never understood what this means

Trump wants a peace deal in ukraine that could involve land concessions. Kamala would likely continue the policy of continuous, slow escalation. The most recent escalation is Ukraine shooting long range weapon into Russia, what's next?

Of course the problems with all of these are

- They are selecting only parts of the rich tapestry of what is meaningful and useful about an architectural space, which can also vary by culture and by person.

- They also don't tend to respond to regulation requirements which may be 'hard line' or 'guideline' depending on the place.

It's a complex world out there for good reason and it doesn't usually reduce well to a few key variables.
This is part of what Nix does. It's how NixOS can run programs with multiple different glibc versions at the same time, every version of glibc comes with an interpreter, and every executable specifies which to use.
Corporations are legal persons with legal rights. Just the other day Kamala said on Oprah that if someone breaks into her house they’re getting shot! People have a right to defend themselves, as do corporations.

All people are animals. Obviously.

I’m sorry I triggered you, but I just think that doing nothing is acting as an enabler for breaking the law. I’m not some big law and order guy, but we need to maintain some order in society else it all goes to shit, and theft ends up getting paid for by everyone else.
a decade? no offense, especially if you're a millennial - ten years isn't that long. I have hundreds of compact disks approaching three times that old. "ad hoc torrent" sounds great, but you're at the whims of seeds, and cease and desist letters. This also doesn't take into account monthly bandwidth "caps".

There's somethings i have for background noise and visuals that i got on YT - what, i should stream it every time? even at 480p this will eat into monthly caps. What about things where i know i have one of the only full (as in needs no fills) copies of some media from the 1990s? Less than 5% of the stuff i keep is contemporaneous with the download date.

If one is just downloading "current" things and then figuring out how to store more of it; then i 100% agree. That's a waste of space and time. Chances are you're paying for the right to stream it, and if you don't care about caps, burn the shareholder money for all i care by streaming it whenever you want to see it. Ideally at 4k.

I'll keep downloading and storing stuff i find important - someday when/if youtube deletes some channels i have backed up, or a production company pulls all their content off of streaming platforms, or a different archive with convoluted steps to access content ceases to exist - i'll still have it, with subtitle files, searchable, locally. It happens a lot more often than you think.
This reads more like a blog post than a cease and desist. Why do they take so long to get to the point of their demands. Matt is entitled to have opinions , and they should stick to the opinions they find unlawful instead of rambling on about everything he said

> If the President orders a launch, the military launches ... that's it

Sure. That doesn't mean every launch must be legal or undeliberateable.

> they don't have a place in the chain between POTUS deciding to launch and the launch

Why not?

The Constitution "vests in the Congress the power to declare war" [1]. It has largely delegated that power to the President. But the spirit of the War Powers Clause recognises that war is a major political decision with national consequences. So is a nuclear first strike.

> Ordering a strike before any missiles have landed on US soil has been possible the entire time (ie ordering what would be an effective First Strike)

Not what first strike means [2]. (You're describing launch on warning, which is firmly in the retaliatory column [3].)

>>All other WordPress-related businesses or projects can use the WordPress name and logo to refer to and explain their services

I think the policy is somewhat vague on this; does 'Wordpress Hosting' refer to and explain the offered service? Clearly. Is 'Wordpress Hosting' a "product" WP Engine is selling? Kind of, yah?

My understanding of trademark is also that "we've been doing this for ages and you didn't say anything" is a pretty solid defense, and "Wordpress Hosting" is about the most generic hosting service offered on the internet at this point, everyone and their dog offers it.

I recently read The Poppy Wars trilogy by Rebecca F. Kuang, it's more fantasy and mythology than sci-fi, but it's very entertaining and I found the mythology and history (which I believe is based in China, though in the novel no real countries are named) very interesting.
Parent is talking about mode, so the most common number. Let’s build a distribution that satisfy both.

Oldest age is set 80, mode is set to 75. We start by distribution one percentage point to each age. Then add an extra to the mode and all the remaining to zero.

We now have a distribution where the most common age of death, other than zero be in 70-80, and more than half the population die before they reach 40.

- Getting a static IP and having your traffic not go through a NAT might be challenging or impossible depending on your home ISP. You can use dynamic DNS in some cases, but that's meh.

- If you want to send email from your server, you'll have a higher chance of it ending up in spam folders because of the residential IP.

- Home ISPs don't have SLAs. Your network was down for half a day without warning? Oh well. Things happen. We're sorry.

- Same goes for power, it's not as guaranteed at home as it is in a datacenter. Even if you install a UPS for your server, you can't be sure that the ISP's equipment will also work if you lose power.
I agree that building AI on top of the video editor is probably a mistake. Maybe the format of the representation of the video can be something better than a series of matrices of pixel values.
I am sorry that was your experience, and not because of "agile" — businesses which leave expertise to experts usually excel IME. The one gotcha is that you want to have good questions asked along the way (by PMs, business people...), and not necessarily have the "last word", when smart engineers will realize sooner when they are on the wrong path. This combination of talent is rarely achieved without specifically recruiting for it.

To back this up (since we are presenting anecdotal evidence), I've been at different software engineering teams at engineering companies which did provide this approach to work, and I was at pretend-agile shops too. As a software engineer of more than 20 years.

> Ending a conflict won't affect the probabilities compared to escalating it?

If affects it. We just can't universally say which way.

Appeasement is the classic example of escalatory de-escalation. But a better one is the Cold War: America or the USSR entering or withdrawing from a particular theatre, e.g. Vietnam or Afghanistan, was on average orthogonal to risk of nuclear war.

Whether a peace deal enhances or damages the peace is context dependent and can swing either way.

What a strange comment to make in the context of nuclear strategy. Should the U.S. unilaterally dismantle its nuclear deterrent?

In all fairness, simd<T> in C++ and portable-simd in Rust are both in preview. Not that there is a lack of alternate options there but still.

The languages that do have these APIs stable are Swift, C#, Mojo, Zig and Julia if I’m not mistaken. Stability means different things for some of these as Mojo and Zig are young languages.

Yeah it's a common mistake, but this is like intro to stats stuff. It's not some big secret that if you summarize a distribution with a single number then you've lost information.

> I've become increasingly convinced that the idea of averaging is one of the biggest obstacles to understanding things.

I'd counter that it's easily one of the biggest assistants in understanding things. The Central Limit Theorem in particular has been enormously influential. Without averaging statistical mechanics and thermodynamics would have been impossible and with them would go the industrial revolution.

What you're noticing is one kind of mistake caused by lack of literacy in science. There are many many more similar mistakes. The solution isn't less literacy.
That's on the customers. I used to work at a shop that used WP and it was a huge force multiplier. We were WP Engine customers and at some point we moved to Pantheon.io and then we moved to a static site with an internal-only WP frontend for content editors.

We had 2 developers, a PM, 20-30 content writers and $5B ARR. Websites were strictly for marketing/leadgen. Even when we switched to building a static site, we still had our content editors write markdown in WordPress because it was easier to do that and pull all of the content from the database on deploy than train them.

The absolute worst part of being a WP Engine customer was being on Linode and the yearly Christmas Eve DDOS.
I couldn't be bothered to assess the quality of the content when the presentation is so childish -- performative aggression, cussing like a 12-year-old boy who thinks it makes him sound cool, etc., it's all totally unnecessary and actively detracts from communicating whatever possibly useful information he might have had to share.
> it seemed to me that the bottleneck mostly revolved around the layers that were in system ram and that a lack of vram was really the gating factor in terms of reasonable inference performance. (although i would imagine that there's probably some more optimization that could be done to make best use of a split vram/sysram setup.)

You could try a model that fits entirely into in VRAM. It"s a trade of precision for a decent bit of performance. 16GB is plenty to work with as i've seen acceptable enough results with 7B models on my 8GB GPU.
Wow, thank you! I've been wanting to learn about GPUs on my next flight, and this is the perfect material for that.
It isn’t that mysterious. I stopped at LCDs because they were the direct predecessor to OLED, and so they are the familiar comparison point for most people.

I wouldn’t call them an improvement over CRTs, except in terms of weight. But, no accounting for taste.
Ok, we've put the barren pasture the article talks about back in the title above.
Well, one thing changed: Peat is an ancient carbon sink, so draining the peat bog and using it as fertilizer is a great way to increase carbon yields.

If only we could somehow feed coal to corn..

In all seriousness though, as you point out, even in the best of cases, biofuel from corn is more carbon intensive than gasoline.

Supposedly, some processes (such as ethanol 85 from sugar cane) make environmental sense.

This is a pretty bad look for Matt, it comes off as yet another CEO who's mad that there's no first-party advantage to hosting OSS. Thanks to the GPL and no CLA he can't take it proprietary like others before him. When you're mad at someone for using their freedom-to-run and freedom-to-modify it doesn't come off as pro-OSS as you think.

Weaponizing the trademark that's more strongly associated with the software itself than the company Wordpress is a pretty low blow. WP Engine is hosting Wordpress, full-stop. There's maybe a discussion to have about when modifications constitute a fork that warrants a different name but we're about as far away from that as you can be.

I honestly don't know why Matt cares. His competitor is owned by PE, just wait for them to eat the business and offer a one-click migration. Play the long game.

There's things in between supporting corporations commiting violence against people they think might be stealing and doing nothing. A whole massive spectrum of actions. There's also a massive difference between shooting a home invader and shooting someone who some security guard thought they saw slip a candy bar in their pocket.

And sure, you said "non-lethal". Lots of people die from "non-lethal" force. There's practically no such thing as "non-lethal", so much they've started using the term "less-than-lethal". Which is still a joke. My point still stands.

But hey continue dehumanizing people and not worry about the consequences.

I'm down for more enforcement against property crimes like theft, but IMO supporting companies to commit violence against anyone they think might have something in their pockets isn't the right way. Maybe we should have our cops actually do their jobs and also solve the reasons why people choose to steal instead of thinking having a society with private security guards beat someone half to death at the exit to a storefront is normal.
You hit the nail on the head. Who knows what put a chili up his, but this debacle has started out of nowhere and he’s not the good party here.
That, and the whole thing about Matt M going on a scathing rant about how bad WPEngine supposedly is[0], supposedly because they don't support WP page revision control as well as he'd like. Seems a bit over-the-top and breathless to me.

It’s the right thing to use in this specific context not because it is explaining the full picture better than the average, but because it distorts the picture in a different way: the modal age being high is incompatible with the incorrect assumption people are making when seeing a low average life span- that people in ancient times basically never made it to an old age in their 70s or older. People then jump from that to the idea that people were dying of old age much younger, which isn’t accurate… they were mostly dying of things unrelated to aging, and few were making it to old age- but healthy active people in their 80s and older did exist even in ancient times, and are mostly more common now because our lives are safer.

Deeper than that, I think there is a modern tendency to want to believe false claims about how awful life was in the past, and how much better we have it now… so there are a large number of such myths that are nearly ubiquitous but not accurate. Not to say that many aren’t also accurate, just that the inaccurate ones go largely unquestioned.

Modern times are very different from most of human history- better in many ways and worse in many others. If we romanticize how perfect the present is, we then lose the ability to make things still better.
Oh, c'mon! Ridiculous.
