Arguably a win for the community of users in the long term as those developers who would like a safe environment, more akin to a professional one, will be encouraged to contribute.

In the short term Ken will have to wait for the time out to end, so a loss for sure.

On balance the future is bigger than the present so suffering today for a better future is utilitarian.

And there are a lot of sensitive folk who have been scared off of communities by what they saw. In this thread a couple have commented about the pre CoC community, that they would have contributed but for the fear of getting barked at.

As a younger dev I bailed on some IRC communities after getting weirdly threatened.

Frustration after being very patient with one’s donated time and feeling unreciprocated can lead to frayed nerves and in the short term being rude is brief and often effective - so it is very understandable that this sort of thing will arise.

Good to discuss how we handle these difficult situations of onboarding newbies without scaring some of the lurking next generation of devs.

As a headline this penalty seems harsh, but efforts were made to mediate before the committee made the ruling and proved unsuccessful.

This process is defining the future culture of the kernel code community and it is widely accepted that it should be less toxic and more welcoming and akin to what is expected in a professional context where most devs also function and also have to patiently onboard new developers.

There may be room for improvement of the process, for instance, like in many settings the burden of patient onboarding may need to fall on a community process with an onboarding ramp that doesn’t fall only on the shoulders of those accepting patches.

As a community it behooves us to step in earlier and help new devs polish their contributions before submission.

Especially if we see a fraustration brewing, step in and offer code review to the new developers, who want to contribute, but need some guidance.

Often just guidance about the right questions to ask and where and how to find the answers oneself before asking.

The eternal September doesn’t have to be so, offering to help with onboarding a new dev helps everyone.
It's tough to imagine slugging culture becoming prominent enough that it could be a reliable and timely mode of transport, and HOV lanes aren't always available to provide an incentive to drivers.

Some work might be harder to quantify, but... for a lot of work, there's deadlines. If you need to get a UI screen working to some spec by Feb 1, and Feb 1 comes and goes and it's not done, isn't that some indication that work is getting done or not?

Do they really care if someone 'does the job' or 'delivers the results'? Sometimes there's not much difference, sometimes there's a huge difference.
As nice as that would be, if we think about it logically it's not at all in the US governments interests for Fusion to work. Suddenly that massive pot of money from natural resources (e.g Oil) vanishes.
Tesla build quality is atrocious, the interior feels cheap, and their repair process is very long cycle time. I’ve known several people in the “never (Tesla) again” camp and now they’re buying Mercedes EVs, rivians (surprisingly) and Lucids.

I have had a few Mercedes and they know how to maintain service on cars for a long long time.

I’d never buy a Tesla. They are a joke and you’re paying for the name and they used to be able to charge a premium because they were the first to market
Just to be clear, I'm in an area of the world where there never was much work from home. During COVID, sure, everyone was home, but most have been back at the office for a long time. The question of trust also isn't as much of an issue, given that I'm in a country where trust is pretty much implicit. So I don't really buy into many of the especially American takes on return to office. It's not about a "return" for me, that is long gone. People returned to the office years ago.

For me it's missed opportunities for business, it's about a better work life balance, reducing stress, improving health, about reducing traffic and the associated pollution and it's about decentralization. As you rightly point out, there will be situations where you absolutely need people to go to an office, or where it will make a difference. These jobs could benefit from less traffic, better service at the edges of working hours, because the work from home people can use the time slots in middle of the day. For those jobs where it makes no difference if you are in an office or would be an improvement not to be, I don't get why more companies aren't just going for it.

The actual intended products of the fusion reactions are generally not radioactive and are rather harmless. But most proposed fusion reactions produce neutrons. Neutrons, unfortunately, can hit other nuclei and “activate” them, transmuting them into other isotopes that can be quite nasty. So fusion is far from perfect.

Well the header at least offers an accurate disclaimer as to the general state of October 7 discourse. Naturally, the author launches immediately in the first paragraph into lurid tales of rape unsupported by evidence, the standard for this sort of atrocity propaganda, which has been used to launder the case for a genocide which Israel and the U.S. have carried out over the past year.

But no I wouldn’t live in rural Arizona over the Bay Area or most cities unless there was a very strong extra reason to live there (like a manhattan project) and definitely not for a pay cut even if cost of living was near 0.
I just used chatGPT to code an html/css/JavaScript solution in an hour for coworkers who were having troubles. There were like wow that was fast we were trying to figure this out for a few days. I'm skilled / an expert but that would've taken me many hours vs. a few back n forth with GPT.

Overall my html/css/javascript skills I feel now aren't as valuable as they were.

I guess in this instance I cheated too or is it that my developer peers haven't gotten into using GPT or they are more moral? As well maybe this is just the new normal....

> a monopoly dictate a nice clean spec which they can force-deprecate whenever they want

We already have that at times. Apple forced a change to cert expiration that nobody else wanted, but everyone had to pick up as a result. Google regularly forces new specs, and then decides "actually we don't like it now" and deprecates them, which others then have to do as well. Virtually all of the web today is defined by the 3 major browser vendors.

If all these "specs" actually had versions, and our clients and servers had ways to just serve features as requested, then we could have 20 million features and versions, but nothing would break.

Example with cookies: if the cookie spec itself was versioned, then the server could advertise the old version spec, clients could ask for it, and the server could serve it. Then later if there's a new version of the spec, again, new clients could ask for it, and the server could serve it. So both old and new clients get the latest feature they support. You don't have to worry about backwards compatibility because both client and server can pin versions of specs and pick and choose. You can make radical changes to specs to fix persistent issues (without worrying about backwards compatibility) while simultaneously not breaking old stuff.

But we can't do that, because "cookies" aren't their own spec with their own versions, and clients and servers have no way of requesting or advertising versions of specs/sub-specs.

You could actually implement this on top of HTTP/1.1:

1. Make cookies their own spec, and version it
2. Add a new request header: "Cookie-Spec-Ver-Req: [range]"
3. If there's no request header, the spec is version 1.0
4. If Server sees a request header, it determines if it supports it
5. Server replies with "Cookie-Spec-Ver: <version>" of what it supports, based on the request
6. Client receives the spec it requested and handles it accordingly

Do that for every weird "feature" delivered over HTTP, and suddenly we can both have backwards-compatibility and new features, and everything is supported, and we can move forward without breaking or obsoleting things.

This actually makes sense from a programmatic standpoint, because "Cookies" are implemented as their own "Spec" in a program anyway, as a class that has to handle every version of how cookies work. So you might as well make it explicit, and have 5 different classes (one per version), and make a new object from the class matching the version you want. This way you have less convoluted logic and don't have regressions when you change things for a new version.
The people who are impressed with a Tesla are the same people who are impressed with the build quality of a Chevy or a Buick. Ergo: they haven’t been exposed much to Mercedes-level build quality.
One of my wife’s female bosses was completely lacking in empathy when my wife had our baby. She wanted my wife to come in every single day after her maternity leave even though her company was hybrid. According to her, taking care of a baby and toddler is no big deal. It was so disheartening especially coming from a woman.

And then she revealed that she had a nanny flown in from her country and the nanny handled everything kid related.
Don’t be this kind of a boss.
It does strike me that the purpose in attending college is the credential you get; education is a far second.

Outside of some vocabulary that I do agree most random people wouldn't know off-hand (what's a hall sensor? why are there halls in my washing machine?!), most of what I needed to know from this came from the service manual tucked inside the machine. The only knowledge I needed to jump start this repair this was looking up where the first screws were to take off the top cover and the rest of this was mostly covered in this manual.

Getting it into the maintenance mode, getting the error code values, deciphering the hex error codes, running the tests and knowing what the tests meant was all in that service manual.

As far as my own personal time actually working on it, I probably spent a total of three hours. Shipping for the parts were overnight and two days. However, I did spend four days waiting from the time I scheduled a tech to come out and had that experience, which probably took less than an hour. All in all it was a hair over a week without a functional washing machine.

This was a $900 washing machine that wasn't quite four years old. There was no way I was going to be down to buy yet another washing machine of similar quality and featureset so soon after.

I do agree, this is probably still a bit much to expect a random person to know/do. I'm more just disappointed in service techs who tend to just throw up their hands and offer to sell someone a new appliance instead of spending even a small amount of time looking into it. The guy was supposedly some top GE certified master technician but could barely even understand it or care to look into it. He spent more time putting together an invoice for parts I didn't need than he did looking into it. He didn't bother reading any of the debugging I had done previously which I saw were in his dispatch case notes.

Theoretically the guy knew what model of device he was going to go repair. He already had some diagnostics. He could have had a few spare parts to test with in his truck. This inverter board is the same one used in a lot of appliances, its not like its a one-off part. But instead he was trying to sell me a new front panel, a new main logic board, the same hall sensor I had already replaced and noted in the case notes, the inverter board, a new wiring harness, and I forget what else.

I've been using this for around 6 months now to aggregate a 70 mbit FTTC connection and 150-450 mbit 5G connection; overall it works pretty well. The FTTC connection is the "master" link and it seems is preferred for the first several bytes of the connection, so the latency is better than using the 5G connection directly. This provides a nice balance for general web browsing, as loading web pages is still quite quick and overall download speed is more than either connection alone. In my setup I'd say it's about 80% efficient in terms of aggregating the total download.

There are a lot of configuration options and the stability of them can be an issue. I've found using XRay VLESS for the Proxy and Glorytun TCP for VPN to offer the best overall speed and reliability. (Edit: I've disabled SQM too). It's possible to mostly bypass the VPN by enabling proxy UDP over XRay but I found that breaks various bypass rules, e.g. so that Netflix connections always go over 5G, as some content has restriction from being accessed by my VPS data center IP.

Port forwarding is also a bit hit and miss; I have configured my 2 WAN routers to use the OMR router as a DMZ and then if I want to play a game, or enable remote access, I will use the bypass feature so that the device's MAC goes through my FTTC connection. UPnP works correctly in this scenario which is handy for consoles.

Videos start at where I left them last time, or beginning if never watched. This worked since forever (unless you disable history completely). I believe they store it in localStorage.

Edit: after second thought, maybe they store it on server too. Anyway, everything worked almost perfectly. I could lose a timestamp once a week, but probably due to some packet error.

Someone at YT literally broke what worked, in a way that is so naive and non-web2.0, as if it was made by a php junior from early 2000s. Because e.g. if you open history and newtab a link with &t=, then you have to refresh history now after watching few minutes of the video. And every click makes it worse cause it overwrites internal data too. The original “internal” method worked perfectly because it never relied on a url that may and will become obsolete. Idk why they did that and how it was approved etc.

Incremental transition makes it easier to mange supply and demand.

If you're a government and you have planning permits for the next decade of power plants going past you, that does matter regardless of the nature of the power plants.

Or at least, it should matter. Texas didn't manage that very well, famously doesn't like regulation, and had power issues that it blamed on renewables but were mainly due to gas not being winterised properly.

…vanishes, presumably, because the work that it used to do is now done by this fusion technology instead. Surely the US would like to be the nation to dominate that tech should the moment come, right?

Could sure shake up some of the US’ geopolitical relationships, in which the US spends an awful lot to maintain influence over the way oil gets made and sold. That pot of oil money sure creates its share of headaches, and probably means a lot more to smaller nations than it does to the US.

To my understanding, the time limit of fission is mostly due to political/security reasons.

Of course keeping it indefinitely on will require huge maintenance costs but if the infrastructure is modular enough to be able to replace every elements, that may be doable.

With fission the structure of the building is part of the infrastructure’s security so it’s harder to change when it’s too damaged. Maybe I’m wrong but it seems like fusion doesn’t require huge cement walls that would take a lot of constraint and which would effectively limit the maximum lifetime of the building.

I am very much on the observer/user side of FLOSS, but the way Codes of Conduct have been applied since their widespread adoption have seen a lot of very productive developers ostracized for their emotionally unregulated methods of communications. This general regard for ceremony and civility above anything else leads to these NKVD-like committees policing code access where the quality of work delivered is considered only collaterally, if at all.

I am worried that the trend these code of conduct implementations set in the past few years optimize for a future where development environments will be optimized for the prosperity of low-productivity, low-intelligence, high-vulnerability and highly-provocative individuals. This idea that the tone of communication may not be coupled in any way to the frustration of the correspondent is in my opinion extremely misanthropic and allows intense psychological abuse through condescension and/or playing dumb.

It's a moot point.

The ECC memory page has the same non sensical statement:

> Error-correcting memory controllers traditionally use Hamming codes, although some use triple modular redundancy (TMR). The latter is preferred because its hardware is faster than that of Hamming error correction scheme.[16] Space satellite systems often use TMR,[17][18][19] although satellite RAM usually uses Hamming error correction.[20]

So it makes it seem like TMR is used for memory only to then back off and say it’s not used for it. ECC RAM does not use TMR and I suggest that the Wikipedia page is wrong and confused about this. The cited links on both pages are either dead or are completely unrelated, discussing TMR within the context of fpgas being sent into space. And yes, TMR is a fault tolerance strategy for logic gates and compute more generally. It is not a strategy that has been employed for storage full stop and evidence to the contrary is going to require something stronger than confusing wording on Wikipedia.
FWIW, many debuggers have facilities to do precisely this. The JetBrains debuggers allow you to set a breakpoint that -- in a non-stopping way -- simply logs every time it was passed, or logs whatever values you want it to log as an expression. So in one potentially non-stopping run you get an output of all of it.
That R&D budget hasn't resulted in Mercedes making good engines. For example the M271 was notorious for going through timing chains, a supposedly lifetime part, in about 100 000 km.

I've also owned two Mercedes and both have had the rear brake lines rust away. Thankfully in the latter they were replaced before they rusted through.
