Suspending Tim Peters for 3 months on bogus claims of misbehavior was harmful for the whole Python community. He's the guy who wrote the Zen of Python. If nothing is changed I fear that the Python community will continue to suffer.

This is also another data point that confirms my dislike of Code of Conducts. At first glance they seem like a good idea, but in practice they are often used as a tool to oust people disliked by the ones with the power to enfore them. Afterwards they are used as shield from criticism.
Back in the early 2000s I had a job that required me to enter a certain phone companies' datacenter. But, I couldn't, because I was a consultant and it was an employees-only area. I had permission to make changes to machines in a rack but they didn't allow me to enter. There was a guard who would check badges but who didn't really check if he recognized people, and there were some people who had to enter and leave multipel times in a day. Myself, I couldn't get permission to enter via the correct channels.

With my director's unofficial approval I was allowed to _try_ to enter the datacenter. So I just walked very confidently towards the entrance, nodded to the security guard like all of the regulars who didn't bother showing their badges, and he let me in.
That is an excellent link thanks. Really sad reminder of how many sites were opened and how many reactors built in the 60's & 70's and how little has been done since (except for power down reactors).
This is where V2G comes into play. Charge your EVs for free during excessive generation and sell it back during peak demand. Sounds too good to be true, but there's nothing stopping this from becoming a regular, normal event.
The tradeoff is that you would lose impact resistance. Consider the moment of impact when a phone hits a hard floor: the relatively heavy battery has its force distributed over the large area of the adhesive and absorbed by it, vs very high localized forces at the screw mounts and lowest corner that will more likely result in deformity or breakage.
Currently in the middle of an EKS to on-prem OKD migration for a large company. It’s definitely happening- on prem with negotiated power/connectivity contracts, datacenter space, and hardware is a fraction of the cost of AWS at a certain scale. DC space includes remote hands but we could even throw in a few DC tech full timers and still save a ton of money.
nice! i hope the configuration files are a bf syntax but with all the features and power of xml+xsl!
Note that some Oxide employees (including the ones I personally admire) have histories of working with Solaris, building their own cloud stack and hypervisor atop it (Joyent SmartOS) and if you'll permit me some editorializing, some general nonconformist habits. This is not the first time your sentiment was expressed about these folks, I'm sure it won't be the last.

I don't personally see it as NIH tendencies, especially since after firsthand experience they're making similar choices again, but that's something subjective to evaluate for yourself. I happen to admire the professed goal of disrupting data center hardware-rack design and economy around it, even if I'm indifferent to Solaris as a technical centerpiece.
I just saw macOS Sequoia 15.0 today on my Mac and thought "gonna skip the .0 version as always on this one". Now I find this thread to just prove my point. iOS is not nearly as bad imho, but with macOS, some stuff like this happens every year.
General feeling. At night I could definitely feel it going to sleep, and it went away after decreasing the dose. It could be a coincidence, but regardless of my personal experience, there's actual science behind it. Too much o3 can affect the blood vessels.
I was thinking they could add a little button to redirect the current from the battery, so it can release itself.

Forgive my confusion, but, are you saying you would pay $15 for a meal that cost $35?
It has nothing really to do with that.

To this day I can get into pretty much any rack or room I feel like at datacenters everyone here has heard of. It just takes experience these days and a bit of charm. Plus having a million keys and staff rack combination codes doesn't hurt. These were freely given and simply added to my collection over time, nothing stolen or social engineered.

I've never done anything nefarious with these abilities, and no one I know has either. It's simply a matter of practicality when you staff a 150,000 square foot facility with 2 security guards who have no idea what they are doing.

If I (and many others) had wanted to, we could have caused multi-week/month outages you'd be reading about on the news with 5 minutes of effort. This is basically the status quo for any sensitive industry.

The world turns because 99.9999% of people want to give you a hug vs. hit you. Society falls when that ratio goes much lower.
But on the other hand, for some applications, disk requirements exploded as well and require dedicated protocols and servers for it; for example Google's monorepo, or the latest Flight Simulator, the 2024 version will take up about 23 GB as the base install and stream everything else - including the world, planes, landmarks, live real-world ship and plane locations, etc - off the internet. Because the whole world just won't fit on any regular hard drive.
The problem is that in America school lunches are often welfare food. A lot of people cant afford $15 a day for their kids lunches.

I never denied that they are criticising the high carb recommendation, I'm just saying that is irrelevant to my original comment.
>If anything, the dutch have a cycling problem.

I disagree, I don't see how less cycling or more cars would be better?

> ...ALSO have the highest road density in Europe for cars

It is the densest non-micro state in the world, would that not explain the road density?

You cannot protect a cyclist in a car collision using a helmet, the solution is separate infra?

Other than that you have positive outcomes of increased general health.
Verizon after 60GB is 600kbps on 5G/4G but up to 3Mbps on UWB. Pretty reasonable IMO. It’s AT&T that’s the holdout, 128k regardless of plan, after 60GB.
Where is personal responsibility in this conversation? Most suburbs have side walks. What prevents people from going for walks? Most WFO people could easily buy a used Total Gym from FB marketplace and work out during the business day. People can buy walking pads for the cube in the office for around $160. People could buy healthier foods and cook at home.

All of this takes time but we’re taking about people with cars. They are probably in an economic class where they can afford better food.
"That polite chuckle" is really a stand in for all
the soft power they wield in person that evaporates
with WFH. They have lost a degree of control and power,
it is basic human nature to look for a way to claw
that back.

That's an interesting angle and I really mean "interesting" in the literal sense.

My hunch is that the corporate executive's thirst for power generally works a little differently than that, in ways I find it difficult to express.

Why do people want those executive jobs? Quite honestly I don't feel the primary appeal for them lies in the minutia of those in-person interactions -- the polite chuckles and such.

I do not think they typically care about Cubicle Slave #58332 enough to be gratified when they (either individually, or in aggregate) give up that polite chuckle for an unfunny joke. For them, that would be like caring about whether or not an insect laughed at their jokes -- and caring about your token genuflections, about your small personal humiliations, is still caring.

So what is the appeal for them? Well, money and status, occasionally with some loyalty and/or core belief in the company added to the mix.

Sometimes reinventing the wheel is the right call...

But considering Dojo is years late and as far as I can see hasn't yet done any meaningful work, and Tesla is still buying up a lot of H100's, I'd say the bet on reinventing everything didn't work out this time.

It's so late that it probably wouldn't be on the forefront of FLOPs/$ anymore, making the whole project have a business value of $0 (and negative if you consider sunk costs).
no this is happening because any project that succeed (e.g. Mozilla) is corrupted to the core by goggle's money.

This is what people don't realize.

At a certain scale you need tons of people to operate a cloud environment, especially if you take advantage of all the features.

Sure for tiny players the devs can be forced to both write the business code and manage the infrastructure but at a certain scale that just doesn't work because everything becomes non-standard and the amount of time to manage it takes up all the time the devs should be spending on writing business related code.

So then you spin up an infrastructure team. And it won't just be one either because the person creating your VPC/network design won't have time to also be working on your backup design or your database design or your image pipeline or your CI/CD.

So at the end of the day you end up with all the same teams you had in managing your datacenter infrastructure (network, storage, OS) except now you're paying way more for the infrastructure itself and the people cost more because they are not just specialist in their area but have to be specialists in cloud platforms as well.
Agree that people could benefit from it. However:

> Also, as a reminder to the "do you even lift, bro" crowd, there is an increasing number of aging people with declining physical strength that could potentially benefit from a product like this.

These people would benefit from lifting too. Physical decline seems inevitable, but its speed seems malleable.
Wow. Savage take-down. Thank you for the close read and analysis.
I don’t think so, correct me if I’m wrong: an ARIA attribute that might fit here would be aria-labelledby (sic), but per MDN

> Note that while using aria-labelledby is similar in this situation to using an HTML <label> element with the for attribute, there are some very important differences. The aria-labelledby attribute only defines the accessible name. It doesn't provide any of <label>'s other functionality, such as making clicking on the labeling element activate the input it is associated with. That has to be added back in with JavaScript.

The best compromise would be to both wrap the input inside the label _and_ use the “for” attribute.

Typically, it’s best to use elements and controls that are already accessible, as ARIA is more intended to give additional accessibility to components that might not be traditionally accessible, or that require more robust accessibility control.
Yes, the "public" they're building in isn't a very interesting one and already crowded by podcasts, blogs, tutorial sites, etc.

If instead you're building, e.g., construction software, then it makes sense to be public to the construction space and build excitement there. But everyone's "public" is where developers congregate, leading to building just for that crowd instead.
I keep coming back to learning/practicing Rust (I really like it) but every time the job market seems to have very few jobs where I am. Wonder if I need to look for fully remote Rust jobs? What is the experience of people doing Rust as $MAIN_JOB?
CO2 can also reduce cognitive capacity. It's useful to monitor, other than just being a proxy for air quality.

Sidenote: it's a fun project to built your own. You can buy the good sensor from this test (Senseair S8) for about $20 from AliExpress. Add a ESP32, a case, and EspHome.io software, and have a high quality sensor for <$30. Same quality as the Aranet4 device you mention, at about a tenth the price. They also use a senseair sensor with the same accuracy rating, but slightly higher priced one designed for long term use on a battery.
Well, you could not do that legally in Spain, if you give something to the workforces you cannot take it away without agreement on both parties.

Because adding Go as an official language would be a monumental amount of work for vanishingly little benefit. Remember Android itself is half written in Java, so are you doing JNI calls for everything from Go? That's not fast nor "native". Are you rewriting the framework in Go? That's a crazy amount of effort.

And all for what? To satisfy a hobby itch that has no practical benefit? The problem of app developers is almost never the language. Hell, look at how popular web apps are even though JavaScript is the worst language in any sort of widespread usage. The platform is what gets people excited (or frustrated), not a language.

I've been running rust in production for roughly a year and the 'if it compiles it works' thing is very much true. Once we cleaned up all the 'unwraps' and 'expects' after a few days and switched to proper error handling, we had a _single_ crash caused by an unchecked add in an underlying time library (combined with a bad integer cast sending it bad input).

That statement is not really just about memory safety, but it's also about the type system and pattern matching, which prevents a lot of _logic_ bugs that would cause runtime errors and not just memory safety problems. You don't have nil pointer dereferences like you do with go, you don't have problems with accidentally passing a single item instead of a list of items, or a string instead of integer like you might get with python.

It's also a lot easier to write than it's reputation would imply, especially if you don't especially care about memory efficiency or performance and you aren't writing close to the metal, and you can just clone stuff onto the heap all over the place. Even with that, it uses way less memory and cpu than a comparable app in python or java and it's usually more efficient than go.

Almost comical that this comment is not analyzed as negative.
> Writing dynamic/conditional queries just sucks and there isn't any good solution.

SQLx is just providing some "core" foundations, which means yes there is no good query builder or anything like that.

So if you want to compare SQLx with e.g. Diesel it's a bit comparing apple to apple trees, instead comparing sqlx+sea-query (or sqlx+sea-orm) would be a better comparison (through sqa-orm again isn't a fully even comparison as it goes ins some points further then what diesel provides).

Idk. about now but last time I touched diesel (quire a while ago) I found their query building catastrophically bad the moment the query isn't build all in one place, productivity also wasn't good with it. There was also pretty bad security issue they handled IMHO catastrophically convincing me to stay away from it. Through I guess a lot of things probably got much better since then.
I am not aware of that aspect at all, but cleaning and cleanliness is in focus in general, from childhood, cities are more tidy even by look and the sight of the lady washing up (properly, with water, sponge, having a custom belt with containers for the tools and liquids used in the process) the sidewalk after cleaning up the poo of her dog is burnt into my retina.

"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

...we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!"

Even if your training computer is fully within your control, occasionally you'll want to run your protocols over the internet for example to test a node in a remote location, debug some problem, etc.

If you have requirements the internet cannot meet (eg. "latency must be <500us for correctness"), then it limits what you can do.
No; because that costs at least an order of magnitude more money than a simple colo setup.

Generally yes but there are ways to repair said seal. The difficult part is testing that the seal is up-to-standard without risking the hardware and data inside.
off course you can. And it's been proven over and over. Are you really trying to argue that wearing a helmet is not safer than not wearing one?

Not all car and cyclist collisions are high speed, big impacts, in fact, statistically speaking, most of them in the netherlands are slow speed knocks, cyclist, get bumped, when a car tries to squeeze by, and the cyclist falls and hits their head on the concrete or whatever else is close by.

And then there are all the cyclist against cyclist collisions, someone gets knocked off, and smacks their head against the curb.

But I guess the dutch way of saying "we are dutch and are born on a bicycle and know how to cycle", (and they really actually don't), is easier to say than, looking at the actual stats, and seeing they are wrong.

I myself started programming with Delphi from 90s, but your arguments sound like only a perfect toolkit would be useful. I'd be perfectly happy to have 80% of Delphi 7 VCL in web-native format with a clear defined way to add custom components that fit in. Like color picker, which more often than not needs customization. And not like it was themable back then. WinXP-level theming should be enough.
It's pretty much exactly this. superstars matter when management can properly direct them, which is almost never big companies (it's very often small companies/startups though). The past decade of superstar hiring in tech was so obviously a raising rivals cost/ monopolizing talent so said talent won't go start a startup that unseats the large company from its excess oligopoly profits strategy. When interest rates got high enough to make yield matter and all of a sudden these big guys needed to actually perform quarter to quarter they started cutting all these excess, expensive people loose and this is just one of the ways to force that attrition. (consequently, I expect the company(ies) that will unseat the big tech guys has already/will be shortly created by some of these downsized staff and the next 10 years will be very interesting.
