> And my personal conventions for usage can be different than yours.

I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. But what bothers me (enough to eventually write a comment) is not that others’ conventions differ — it’s that they don't have conventions at all. Words are just strewn all over the page with abandon and anyone who questions it is told to piss off, usually via a long counter-rant laced with moral superiority and mentions of the standard buzzword ‘prescriptivism’. I suspect it’s because it’s deeply insulting and humiliating to be told you’re ignorant about something so seemingly basic, and almost everyone is ignorant when it comes to effective punctuation.

> If that rule works for you, great.

You give people too much credit. It’s not that they’ve tried several styles and eventually landed on this one as a matter of personal taste. They’ve never even noticed the difference.

Again: that there are ‘no formal rules’ for language use does not imply there’s zero value in caring how language is used and trying to keep it consistent and logical.
So you want to be an individual contributor but don't want to be a manager of resources and people (resources aren't people and vice versa).

The difference is between being a "Senior Developer" or some other title that implies the seniority of your contribution compared to a "Head of" or "Senior" in the management hierarchy which is about budgets and P/Ls and GANTT charts and etc.

Your company needs to revise it's hierarchies to allow for ICs to be promoted to a similar level as management and have the same power over the area that you are senior (ie design, tools, versioning, SRE work, etc).

You decide what the work required is, both for new and ongoing, but it is then the management hierarchy that incorporates that into prioritizing the tasks against customer deliverables, budgets etc.

The password manager market does not have a dominant player like Github vs Gitlab (others). Actually this would be more true if you add non commercial offerings like Keychain passwords, Google passwords and Firefox (other browsers password managers).

Lastpass didn't have a majority at anytime. And their decline is related more to thei breaches and horrible practices. They are trying to be relevant now. They offered my university free subscription for all students and faculty and still people don't even consider them. At least this is among people who consider password managers.

Oh then we are in total agreement.
I understand exactly where you are coming from but I just want to warn you. This sounds very familiar to me and could lead to a classic burnout. I am saying this out of care and not to judge you but, you may be too invested in something that you don't have a big enough stake in. And also, if bringing order to the chaos is not an overarching goal of to business, your work is even misaligned. Ask yourself this: could I reduce my work hours significantly or take a sabbatical? If daily business would continue as usual, it would be an indication that the extra work and ordering you do is not visible anyway. If this is only to keep your own sanity, don't you think it would be much nicer to put that effort behind something you made and control?
Shameless plug for my Python app that automates pasting routes with neutron stars, that boost your jump range, from https://spansh.co.uk/ into the game, which is used for some of those records to my knowledge. It was one of my first "real" project and it shows, at least I now know that Qt is pretty great in Python for cobbling something together.

Only being able to concentrate while sedentary is a habit not a rule of nature.

Like many people throughout time I do much of my best thinking while walking or exercising. To the point that to crack a hard problem is often easiest if I get up and go for a stroll.

This is even easier given that there is seldom only one problem to crack. The combination of switching tasks and moving about, getting the blood pumping, seeing new things, and breaking pattern is an incredibly reliable way to generate good ideas, solutions and approaches.
Those are some really interesting proposals. I agree that a lot of code ignores resource cleanup, especially when it comes to driver-userspace communication. For example, driver authors just implement a netlink/ioctl system which manages persistent state in kernel space, even though they could bind the state to a device file descriptor, which automatically gets cleaned up upon process exit (but still can be handed to another process, if really needed)

We've been deeply involved with the Godot community since we started 3 years ago. It wouldn't be right to just write a text post. That'd be too flippant and I think it does right by the community to give more of an in-depth explanation.
All the inconsistencies you suggest sound like a trap, especially when you suggest ABI and API behaviour divergences.
From what I understood of your macro idea this would lead to API changes that would lead to ifdefs for different (g)libcurl versions. Doesn’t feel good especially for software distributors.

Also the changes you mention require changes in the linker scripts distributed by a variety of toolchains and would need to check if the libc target was a blessed one. In effect the deprecation would never move to obsolete and kept around forever.

To clarify the above post libc is in control of dynamic linking through the dl*(dlopen) family of functions.

quick/ease to ship is to "Keep It Simple Stupid".

Be critical about adding new services or complexity.

Ask yourself can this be solved in a way that does not require
changes to the shipping process.
If no, evaluate possible alternate approaches.

A fanatical dedication to monitoring the production system is beneficial.
The faster you can catch that the last deploy screwed something up,
the less stress and down time there will be.

The shipping process should also include the ability a rollback the latest
deployment. Again less stress and possible downtime there will be.

Achieving these goals is the best way to win the trust and influence
on the people up the chain.

My client was in the final stage of selecting security tokens.

They have contracts with administration and their tokens need to be secure.

I was strongly for yubikeys, now they will not be an option any longer.

It is not so much about the flaw, but about their handling of the broken security tokens, still claiming them to be somehow secure-ish.

Even if they offered us the new tokens, that wouldn't make a difference. Their claim to making the internet more secure for all, contradicts their attitude.

That is really disappointing.
CDs are smaller, cheaper, sound great, and have longer playtime. I think they're the superior medium. I get people prefer the sound of vinyl, though.
The subscription pays tidal, but tidal only pays out based on usage... The artist gets about $0.01 per stream.

The best way to support artists is to purchase albums the week they're released... Sales numbers are a key metric when labels decide touring and investment in the next album... Could mean a better studio or more resources...

If you are committed to the download off of tidal strategy, then please make a playlist of the tracks you download and play it overnight... Otherwise, none of your money supports the artists you listen to.

Artists can also remove old albums from Spotify. At least with Bandcamp you can buy the music and download the files - if you want to.

And you can even send a mail to the artist to ask them why they removed old albums and if they can provide you a copy.
The fact that it's possible for me to be aware of anything at all is interesting though, and definitional of conciousness. It's possible the roomba's also experience things, but we generally assume that they don't.

This is entirely separate from whether one's perceptions are an accurate representation of reality, or whether one's experiences correspond to the parts of the brain that respond to things.

I tried Pulumi 5 years ago because the idea looked cool and you could write code instead of HCL and apply things like loops etc.

However, the problem I found was that a Pulumi provider has two "sides", one is on the Pulumi side of the provider, which sets up resources to be created, but doesn't update them with the details of what's been created.

Example (may not be entirely accurate): You create a VPC, but then you want to use the default subnet as an input to another resource. You can't find out that subnet's information because when Pulumi runs, the "script" side doesn't get updated by the result of the VPC creation, so the information like the default subnet is "inside" the provider and not available to the user's script.

Terraform updates the resource that has been created with the information from the creation, so you can access the underlying AWS information in further resources.

I can remember a number of instances of having to dive into design docs to ascertain how a few systems interacted with each other.

Not necessarily. You can have upper management chieftains, who view the rise of a "new" one- as a threat and will actively try to prevent "upstart" new sources of income, to protect the dependency on "whoever" pays the bills for decision making.

You will not get a product thats not search off the ground at google.

You will not launch something else then windows / now cloud at microsoft.

Even if it makes money. The old chieftains domain has to wither and be in retreat first, before something new can be started with all the resources available.

Its really exotic, if cross domain success is achieved. Amazon logistics and then AWS is such a example. If you look under the hood, the companies that allowed for that- are often more conglomerates, basically smallerish independent companies within a brand-trenchcoat pretending to be one large company. Youtube is also such a thing.

My pet theory is, that its company internal value chains, the chieftains depend upon that allow for such things to form. Like search is advertising and needs data. And data comes from the engagement guys down the hall in the other building.
> how can it be any different? Someone else is paying you to do something; you either do it (aka, you please them), or you don't (aka, don't ship, and you stop getting paid).

The good situation is when you get paid to do the thing, because you're getting paid by someone who cares about whether the thing is done. The bad situation is where you get paid to make a Potemkin version of the thing because the person paying with you cares more about the appearance than the reality, consciously or otherwise. You can redefine words and say well obviously when they told you to do X they were just doing an elaborate LARP and there's no deception in doing Y and telling them it's X, but that's just sophistry.

Working for arms-length counterparties helps, as that naturally forces communication to be more explicit and honest. Working in small businesses where reality tends to intrude more quickly helps. Of course neither approach is perfect.

I bought a lifetime license to Horse a while ago but haven’t really used it until recently (Arc is my main).

It’s pretty good, opinionated, but it doesn’t support extensions. The built-in ad blocker is okay but Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin are my winning combo in mainstream browsers. I also use Raindrop in a regular basis so until Horse at least supports those three extensions, it won’t be my main browser.

> The investigation report said the F-35′s transponder failed as a result of the electrical malfunction

So there is serious electrical malfunction and the pilot loses communication and also some of his displays multiple times.

In hindsight we know it wasn't that serious and the plane could have kept flying.

But how can the pilot figure that out, while flying the aircraft? One needs to evaluate decisions based on the information available at the time the decision was made.
In that respect, sure; however, there's also a lot of lawlessness without repercussions there, like year(s)-long long-cons where people climb up the corporate ladder to eventually empty out said corporate's wallets and assets.

Sure, the player character involved will be marked for life, but they can just move the assets to a new character and nobody will be the wiser.

That said, the game was (or seemed to be designed) that the bigger alliances should be fighting for terrain all the time, but as it turns out they recognize it's mutually beneficial to not wage war. I remember reading about when they introduced titans, and that they were stupid expensive and involved to make (took like a month or so? plus all the raw materials). But the alliances scaled up, stocked up, and now there's hundreds if not thousands of the things and they rarely, if at all get used and lost in combat. So there's no "sink" of those things. I haven't heard of any major conflict involving titans since B-R5RB [0], but looking at that article there was another one in 2020 apparently that was a bit more costly ($378K in real money).

The problem that Eve has is also its unique selling point, it's all one big universe, so there can be battles involving over 6000 people in one system. But the game's internal clock slows way down, meaning that inside one system time moves at 1/10th of what is out there, also meaning that it feels like reinforcements can arrive within seconds or minutes instead of how long it should usually take. And they still do a once per day server shutdown for maintenance, but idk if these battles continue after that, or if they suspend shutdown during these big fights nowadays.

That is quite interesting. What you stumbled upon yourself is a technique used by many meditation teachers to help in awakening. I think the the idea is the moment you categorize something you stop knowing what the thing is and replace it with belief. Glad you are having fun with it :)
I don't know why you are so surprised given this decision actually overturns a previous one that basically ruled that not only must there be some means of this communication, but that the employer can't choose what it is (Purple Communications as mentioned in the post). So at one point the rules were actually stronger than they are now.

The decision requires that there must be some way for employees to communicate and organize among themselves. Generally courts take a dim view of things like "yes you could technically do it if you broke our policies to grab people's numbers and then started a Signal group". So I don't actually agree with your interpretation of what the ruling says that employers don't have to do anything. I will also note that, while unrelated, employers must provide employees with tools to organize in the physical space (e.g. by putting up posters in common areas). Your shock at the existence of these rules is unwarranted. I would definitely not use company resources to organize if I could avoid it just because it seems like a lot of trouble that is probably not worth it, but there definitely are protections around this kind of thing.

Oh boy. I've been around these trenches long enough to have seen the dark side of 'shipping' strategies.

Rarely in large enterprise environments are projects greenfields. The new system is often there to replace some existing Line of Business system.

Inthese cases the pervers but common shipping strategy is:

1. freeze all maintainance and evolution of the existing system. Seems reasonable until you realize that these enterprise projects are multi year calendar endeavours and the business will not stop changing during that time. The idea is not realy to halt all development, just to inctease the friction of getting anything done on the now declared 'legacy' system above an administrative pain threshold.

2. Commandeer all the IT staff to serve on the 'new' system's project team and overwhelm them with tasks. Make sure they remember any time spend on the 'legacy' (keep hammering in that term) codebase is basically waisting time assuring you'll end up at the bottom of the corporate dinosaur tar pit at best.

3. Force they 'new' system into production long before it is ready. Use all the leverage you build from point 1 to promise 'going forward'. When essential gaps to support the business are pointed out en mass week1, reverse the tables and intigate a very heavy administrative process demanding proof that the lacking functionality is actually required with a full ROI breakdown coutering your handwoven 3 minute overinflated guestimate for implementation. Again, you know essentials are missing, you are just trying to gain time as the longer you can stay deployed the higher the chance you will.

This process is very destructive to not just the business, but also moral of most involved. Most projects taking this scorched earth shipping strategy fail regardless. This is no small contribution to the cynicism oftem found in veteran battle hardened corporate IT shops.
PyInstaller or Nuitka?
Here's a short post for "X":

I've been working with Python for years, and when it comes to compiling Python code into a packaged executable, there are a few options out there. Two popular tools are PyInstaller and Nuitka. I prefer Nuitka for compiling my Python programs because it offers a noticeable speed advantage.

Have you used either? Which one do you prefer?
