Depends on what's being developed, I guess. No tables/trees is probably ok for a lot of lighter end-user sorts of apps but doing without them for many desktop-first apps and utilities would be rough. Desktop file managers, media library apps, and email apps for example would be quite a lot less useful without multi-column tables at the minimum.
I couldn’t make much of atmo given the SF constraint, but I use the UK2 model for UK forecasts and it seems to be a similar level of detail and does very well taking topographical and micro weather nuance into account. Depending on your location you might find an equivalent short range model

Many companies offer customized, high resolution weather simulations that resolve those sorts of features. It's purely a cost vs value proposition - only a tiny sliver of users actually need this sort of spatial resolution, and typically over a very small area, so there is no reason for a global weather forecast model to be cranked up to it.

> Anyone on here know what happened to Atmo and if the tech is ever going to come back so people can use it? It's a travesty that this tech exists but isn't being used- a lot of lives would be saved if NOAA were using this already existing technology.

They're a thriving start-up as far as I've heard. Weather is a tough industry. Given that hourly-refreshing, high-resolution forecasts are freely available already from NOAA, I doubt that proprietary forecasts like these really move the needle in terms of protecting public life / property.
I'd wonder if that is stale data? There is a small building that looks an awful lot like a central office at that location [0], but I'd find it a bit farfetched that a 355A would still be active in the PSTN at this late date, given that Nantes, QC was supposed to be the last step in Zone 1. Also, while things may be different in the Wyoming desert, landlines are rapidly disappearing in general. If it's still in use, I'd guess it's either a DMS-10 (those are fast disappearing too), or a modern packet switch or cellular node.

I wonder how much old equipment is still abandoned in place? A fair number of museum finds have come more-or-less intact from old COs, and newer equipment often occupied but a corner of older buildings.

OP was talking about "people commute daily between countries for work". People don't commute between London and Paris in great numbers, but the train is full of business travellers. Same as London to Manchester, or Edinburgh to Glasgow, or Edinburgh to Leeds

Obviously business people travel by train from say Glasgow to London, or London to Brussels, or Paris to Geneva, or Brussels to Amsterdam, or Amsterdam to Hamburg, or Berlin to Prague, or Prague to Budapest, or Vienna to Zagreb, or Stuttgart to Milan, or Milan to Marseille

Just because a business traveller might not do a 12 hour trip doesn't mean they don't do a 4 hour trip, and those 4 hour trips all work together in a reliable network.

Atlanta (5m) to Charlotte (1m) is 250 miles, Charllote to Richmond (1m) 300 miles, Richmond to Washington (5m) 120 miles. Population in brackets is the "urban area" population.

Seems crazy there isn't a half hourly service from Richmond to Washington DC to me, and an hourly service to Atlanta. The 6AM from Atlanta would go through, calling Charlotte around 8.30, Richmond by 12, and Washington by 1pm. The 7am would get to Washington for 2pm, etc.

Would many people do Atlanta to Washington? Probably not. Would they do Atlanta to Richmond, or Charlotte to Washington? Probably. At least with a european culture. 4 hours is deemed to be the "it's not worth flying" level.

(That said this year I've done London-Leipzig, Berlin-Geneva, Geneva-London, and New York-Miami for business on the "more than 6 hour" this year)

That's too much extra work. With multiple monitors you can maximize primary apps while still having manual management of smaller supporting apps on another monitor. You also get more edges for rapid snap to the sides of a monitor.
> Meta makes an absolute killing with ads by dominating much of the internet now, usurping the throne from google.

That (the usurping the throne from Google part) seems wrong to me. Not sure if this has changed in recent years, but Google and Facebook/Meta ads always seemed very different to me. I.e. Google had such specific search intent so it was possible to target items at near the point of purchase so effectively. Facebook/Insta ads were more about introducing people to new products by knowing so much demographic info about people.

In my experience, the ROI on Facebook ads in specific verticals was absolutely horrible. For example, banks and fintechs are willing to pay a ton for customer acquisition because these services are so sticky - get a new banking customer, and often you'll have them for life (changing banks can be a major PITA). But for all the people mindlessly scrolling through Facebook and Instagram, very few of them are wanting to go check out a new bank account opportunity while they're looking at funny cat videos.

Again, not sure if this has changed recently, but search ads and social media ads always just seemed to have very different purposes to me.
I played with web2js a couple of years ago. TeX ends up being a 500kb WASM file (88kb gzipped).

I, not yet wanting particularly to extricate myself from Chrome, use Ublock Origin Lite. It works about as well as the original (although it's less good with paywalls and blocking individual site elements, by which I mean 'not good at all'.) If you can and don't already I would try to replace as much as you can with RSS (which is also really good with paywalls - I use feeder.co and it lets me get around the Atlantic's paywall. Its privacy policy is here: https://feeder.co/help/legal/privacy-policy/. It's hosted in Sweden, in the EU, for what that's worth.)

But as you might have figured out from my use of Chrome, I'm mostly ok with the fact that Google knows everything about me. So I'm probably not the best person to ask.

This an empirical argument about nails. Are you just saying that to emphasize your confidence?

I just googled and there are literally dozens of brands of this product.

Even so this preference appears to be a niche opinion of artisan woodworkers, not a failure mode of furniture and construction.

> The switch to wire was a detail of the manufacturing processes, not of consumer demand

Yes it is. They wanted to pay less for nails and the cheaper manufacturing served that need. If it mattered they would pay more.

> but purely because it's a design that scales for manufacture.

In other words, people like to reminisce about hand made goods. But when it comes to paying for them, they usually prefer the ones that work well at a fraction of the cost.

You can’t claim that intricate items with fine details are not manufacturable at scale (see the iPhone?). So your cause and effect are backwards. Manufacturing did not dictate old methods became less prevelant. Consumers did.

And once again, your claim that higher quality ones don’t exist is wrong too. I guarantee we can find a supplier of many varieties of decorative nails. They are just more expensive.

They tend to be relatively poorly handled by the software, at least out of the box.

Every modern major OS now has some level of tiling/splitting on a monitor's edges baked into their window manager by default now. Some can be tweaked to split into smaller subgroups, but that often requires less well tested/polished options (some apps just ignore the hints), or even third party extensions.

I had a similar experience, but my collaborator had a touch of OCD and just kept micro-editing my original draft, each time replacing exactly one word with a different word that had nearly the same meaning. By the end of the process, my collaborator had produced a word-for-word copy of William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar". It is a remarkable coincidence that my original draft just happened to have the same number of words to begin with to make this transformation possible.

My collaborator then translated the original paper into Greek. Or maybe he translated "Julius Caesar" into Greek. I don't speak Greek so I have no way of knowing.

Hmmm...same argument for German industrialists back in 1933?
Same. This utility is also multiplied by having a separate set of virtual desktops on each display, which lets one create sets of windows/apps that can be mix-matched between screens, reducing the amount of window-shuffling to almost nothing after initial setup.

This is only possible under macOS and Linux, unfortunately. On Windows virtual desktops are still kind of a weird hack that spans one desktop across all monitors.

> Gradual rollouts are slow too, taking 5-10 minutes as k8s rolls out updates to pods across the fleet.

If you're hitting this, you need to take a look into the service as the problem, not blame the infra layer.

k8s can absolute roll out a deployment in <60s, if not <10s. The bottleneck I see, when it is slow, is slow app termination. If your service takes 5 minutes to terminate, it isn't going to matter what the infrastructure layer does. Sometimes this is failing to handle SIGTERM (resulting in k8s having to fall back on timing out & SIGKILL'ing) … but sometimes it's just the app is slow to terminate, 'cause bugs. But it's those bugs that should get fixed.

You can somewhat workaround it by setting the surge to 100%. (And … even if you have a fast app, 100% surge might be a good idea, too. As always, it depends. If surging is going to eat up all the available RAM or CPU … maybe not.)

And most importantly: the underlying principles guiding k8s's behavior are going to apply just as equally to a shell script. app.service doesn't respond to SIGTERM[1]? You're going to have to decide what to do. Surge or not? Same thing. Potential for surge to result in resource depletion…?

> bash script

A service's program/code should generally be owned by root:. A service (generally) does not need the ability to re-write its own code.

> Only a few at my company understand Docker's layer caching + mounts and Github Actions' yaml-based workflow configuration in any detail.

… the working knowledge of either of those two things is not rocket science. The docker caching is probably the worst of the two; but you only need to understand it to speed up builds.

While GHA's YAML isn't pretty … it's also hardly complex. And for the most part, if your action simply defers to a script in the repository (e.g., I keep these in ci/), then it's mostly reproducible locally, too. (And there are some tools out there to run a GHA workflow locally, too, if you need more completeness than "just run the same script as the workflow".)

> Show you how I provision a Debian server using Ansible

I have spent enough years with Ansible to know all the problems with it, and I'd rather not go back to it.

([1] although a vanilla systemd service is going to have an "advantage" in that the default SIGTERM handling is different from a container. So it might look faster, in the case of buggy-app-with-no-SIGTERM-handler will die instantly … but it's probably still a bug, as ax'ing the service is probably also just dropping requests on the floor.)

> “Less languages features, but a better compiler” was originally the aspirational selling point of Go.

A faster compiler was the aspirational selling point. As legend has it, Go was conceived while waiting for a C++ program to compile.

Before what was called "Go 2" transitioned the project away from Google and into community direction there was some talk of adding no more features, instead focusing on improving the compiler... But since the community transition took place, the community has shown that they'd rather have new features.

The "Go 1" project is no longer with us (at least publicly; perhaps it lives on inside Google?)
