Frankly, copyleft is MORE permissive than generic bullshit weasely term "open source" (thanks to corp-friendly ESR). The fact they try to avoid using "open source" but willingly use the more "free as in freedom" word "copyleft" is a bit distressing.

I'm tired of this whole "shared source" movement, it's disingenuous, and ruins the spirit of actual open source (let alone "copyleft").

Boo on Winamp. Shame. I'm still using 5.666 until I die. I won't use their newer stuff, because it's clear they're not doing it with love but just trying to find another captive market of nostalgia nerds.

Here's another answer to the Fermi Paradox, that while life is normal and abundant, there are lots of random possibilities for destruction such as a primordial black hole coming by.

The apparent rarity of intelligent life might be a statistical matter of there being lots of opportunities for such life to arise, but also lots of hazards of random destruction.

... on reflection, while this might be intellectually satisfying, it's not particularly nice to contemplate.

Unlike others here I really appreciate the gemini API, it's free and it works.

The point for me isn't really how it compares to openAI/anthropic, it's a free API key and I wouldn't have made the above if I had to pay just to play around

I can't find it now, but I read something just a few days ago saying that some prominent Debian members very much want to see the development/maintainership experience of the OS modernized and improved. They are suggesting (but not demanding) that packages be maintained by teams rather than individuals, manage source packages on Debian's own Gitlab instance, accept issues and PRs via Gitlab, better CI and testing infrastructure for packages, and so on.

I respect the fact that current Debian development practices have carried the OS this far, but lowering the barrier to entry for volunteers to help maintain the OS going forward could only be a good thing.

Projects like Debian have been losing people over drama and infighting since the moment they started. It's not really clear to me that there are "purges" going on or that it's the major reason people are running away and/or not contributing.

A single conflict with a single person over two years ago is certainly not demonstrative of that.

I'd wager good money that the ten-year long infighting, bitching, and vitriol over merging /usr/bin and /bin, the extremely long and protracted systemd fight, and things like that are far more impactful in chasing people away.

You paid by the minute to connect to CompuServe. I eventually found free software - shared in the CompuServe forums - that would dial up, collect messages from threads you had marked offline, then hang up your modem so you could read and reply at your leisure. This was my first exposure to shareware and a huge $$ saving. I contacted the developer and offered to pay him for this and he replied with, "No thanks. Just pay it forward." A couple of great lessons there.

It doesn't change the fact that if someone were to do that, it wouldn't be supported by anyone let alone the main bluesky firehose. I think it's pretty disingenuous to just say "You can do it" when what your suggesting is so far off the intended usage of the Protocol that it might as well be a brand new implementation. As a matter of fact, people DO already do this. they use ActivityPub and talk to bluesky using a bridge.

The core of the issue is, Bluesky's current model is unsustainable. The cost of running the main relay is going to keep rising. The barrier to discovery keeps getting higher and higher. It might cost 150$/month now to mirror the relay, but what's going to happen when it's 1000$?

Retro Windows application emulation seems to be very difficult to do. Either using BoxedWine on Windows, Wine itself on Windows, PCemu, virtual machines or x86box. Either the API surface is not enough implemented to handle all the quircks of old (sometimes 16-bit) software, or the x86 is not complete enough and unstable by itself, or the virtual machine software is too new so the old operating systems don't run properly.

I recently took the time to get a HP Compaq 530d and with some effort you get Windows 98 working on it just fine. And the applications also work fine. It has USB support, so I can just put it on my KVM. The only problem is VGA, a cheap Aliexpress VGA to HDMI converter doesn't support all resolutions - so if you get a BSOD or during POST, you need to connect a real monitor to find out what is going on.
> Code coverage has absolutely nothing to do with code quality

I'm going to disagree respectfully here. I don't think hard-and-fast rules on code coverage are useful (e.g. must achieve 90% coverage before merging), but just having code coverage run automatically and its results displayed is useful. When I add an "if" check and one of the branches isn't covered for example, I start to think what if some junior engineer didn't understand the reason behind this "if" check and decided to delete this check altogether? If no unit tests fail after deleting this check, that junior engineer might not have enough context to judge whether this check is needed in production.

> The firehose is all public data going into the network right?

It's the "main subset" of the public data, being "events on the network": for the Bluesky app that's posts, reposts, replies, likes, etc. Most of those records are just metadata (e.g. a repost record references the post being reposted, rather than embedding it). Post / reply records include the post text (limited to 300 graphemes).

In particular, the firehose traffic does _not_ include images or videos; it only includes references to "blob"s. Clients separately fetch those blobs from the PDSs (or from a CDN caching the data).

He chooses not to use it on privacy grounds. But, this is a common problem with most national identity databases tbh. Its more likely a political decision than a privacy one.
Thing is, the standup originated out of a methodology that describes operation of an organization without managers. The standup is time allotted for the developers to fulfill some of the duties the manager would have otherwise done for them. Perhaps there is some kind of merit to it if you actually operate that way, but if you can recognize someone as the manager then why are the developers doing their job? Async or not, it is just silly cargo culting.
It's not that much data. Certainly nothing zstdcat can't handle.
>For example, you will find functions where the runtime value of parameters will change the return type (e.g. you get a list of things instead of one thing).

I have long argued that such interfaces are doing it wrong. That's what "Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules." in the Zen is supposed to warn about, to my understanding.
Yes the actual record content on the network isn't huge at the moment but the firehose doesn't include blobs (images and videos) which take up significantly more space. Either way, yeah it's pretty lightweight. Total number of records on the network is around 2.5Bn in the ~1.5 years Bluesky has been around.

This isn't just a problem common to project management, it's very familiar sounding to "devops" teams as well - while I agree that something fundamentally needs to change I do not believe it is the same problem.

In the case of project management, what you have is horrible hiring practices that favor extreme credentialism (PMOC, etc) rather than a proven track record of results. Businesses seem think that anyone with a cert is going to be effective, but in my view, these certifications are mostly worthless in terms of actual skills gained.

Another thing is, what should even change? No one knows. This isn't an unknown phenomenon, there just isn't anything better at this current moment. It's very easy to point at things and say they should change, another thing entirely to propose a solution. To me, I would put more technical requirements on PM's rather than these dumb PM certs, as the better PM's I've worked with always seem to have a much deeper understanding of technical nuance than their shittier peers.
Some people can’t, I don’t understand how but they do exist.
