Neat. I can see this being a very large step beyond "coding on Twitch"-like streaming, and pretty much all programming-related educational videos too.

That plan was put into effect, and remains very influential today.

- The Heritage Foundation was part of the implementation.[1]

- Far more businesses hired lobbyists in Washington.[2] Business lobbying used to be a minor activity.

- Academic support was obtained. First, from Milton Friedman. See his famous article announcing that the social purpose of corporations is to increase profits.[3] This gave academic respectability to "Greed is good, greed works". Entire academic centers were purpose-built to push this position. The Mercatus Center at George Washington University is one such.[4] Other academic institutions were repurposed, through funding, to support this effort. The Hoover Institution is one of them.[5]

None of this is a secret, but it's not that well known.

To me, Cloud is all about the shift left of DevOps. It’s not a cost play. I’m a Dev Lead / Manager and have worked in both types of environments over the last 10 years. It’s immeasurable the velocity difference as far as system provisioning between the two approaches. In the hardware space, it took months to years to provision new machines or upgrade OSes. In the cloud, it’s a new terraform script and a CI deploy away. Need more storage? It’s just there, available all the time. Need to add a new firewall between machines or redo the network topology? Free. Need a warm standby in 4 different regions that costs almost nothing but can scale to full production capacity within a couple of minutes? Done. Those types of things are difficult to do with physical hardware. And if you have an engineering culture where the operational work and the development work are at odds (think the old style of Dev / QA / Networking / Servers / Security all being separate teams), processes and handoffs eat your lunch and it becomes crippling to your ability to innovate. Cloud and DevOps are to me about reducing the differentiation between these roles so that a single engineer can do any part of the stack, which cuts out the communication overhead and the handoff time and the processes significantly.

If you have predictable workloads, a competent engineering culture that fights against process culture, and are willing to spend the money to have good hardware and the people to man it 24x7x365 then I don’t think cloud makes sense at all. Seems like that’s what y’all have and you should keep up with it.
You're right; I think CCITT5 is just another name for SS5, because different groups were writing standards. Bell called it one thing, CCITT (an international standards group) called it another thing. And then in the 1990s, the CCITT renamed itself to ITU.
Increasing the minimum wage is cool and all but I really don’t appreciate my Big Mac costing $7 and the smallest sized Starbucks Americano $4.

I guess the silver lining is that this law made me go grocery shopping more often and as a result I eat healthier.
It’s a term of familiarity. I don’t think it’s about efficiency of speech. Nicknames aren’t always about shortening names.
Their own choice of a time interval to look at (Apr - Oct) looks cherry picked. If you include the next month, it goes from a +1000 job gain to -1200 loss. Overall it looks like the effect on employment at least in the short term is about zero. But it definitely increased cost. So the only winners here are I guess the people whose wages were pushed up by this law, and everyone else is a loser. I wouldn't call this a success, I'd call it a classic california left wing economic shell game.
Introducing a free unlimited hosting service where you could only upload pictures, text or video. There’s a public page to see that content among adds and links to you friends free hosting service pages. TOS is a give-give: you give them the right to extract all the aggregated stat they want and display the adds, they give you the service for free so you own you content (and are legally responsible of it)
As an early-stage startup?

Your spend in the first year on AWS is going to be very close to zero for something like a SaaS shop.

Nor can you possibly scale in-house baremetal fast enough if you hit the fabled hockey stick growth. By the time you sign a colocation contract and order hardware, your day in the sun may be over.

Formatting and spacing shouldn't fall onto the developer. It is stupid because it is always opinionated. Integrate a linter, decide on a standard and make a linter do the spacing and formatting.

So a fraction of the number of tech employees out of a job in the last couple years due to interest rate increases and AI panic?

What’s the problem, again?
I don't think you meant for your comment to be so sarcastic. I live in the exurbs, not exactly the sticks, but on the outskirts of a major city and on the way to a significant medium-city city. I have seen pictures on English Russia, where there were catenary-powered tramways in what looked like Siberia in the 1950s or 1960s. I imagine how life would be here and now if there were two bus services at the nowhere stoplight near my house. One east-west, one north-south, running at convenient 15 minute intervals around the clock. It would be neat if there were a convenient ride to my workplace in the next city. I view riding the bus as having a chauffeur for $2.75. I saw some maps created by amateurs called Fantasy NYC Subway, where there were so many lines that they went up to double Greek letters. I have lived in NYC, and there is not even a one-seat train ride to the airport, nor always a taxi ride that does not have "trouble" with my debit card which goes away when I take a pic of his license. These monorails and suspended trains and such were done 100 years ago. People tried them. I have seen animes where the entire premise is about romance due to missed trains in nowhere places. For some reason none of these things happen in the United States.

The picture I was thinking of is the second one down, after the advert: https://englishrussia.com/2019/01/18/nice-tram-photos-from-t...
Yes but this thesis is oversaturated
How about collaboration, this is great for pair programming/anything else here ?
I'm so done with the advertising industry. They will keep trying to follow us. Not even because it works, but because it's Google's the other companies' moat. Only with their pervasive tracking networks can they sell tracked ads.

If there was no tracking, anonymous content sensitive ads would be more popular and thus valuable.

Unfortunately even Mozilla is now trying to appease advertisers with their PPA initiative. I don't want purchases to be attributed.

I will continue blocking all ads forever and circumventing them in other ways possible (like pirating content and using paywall blockers). I'm done trying to fix the system.

Same for Ukrainian refugees.

Who are there (and are emotionally traumatized) in no small part because your government chose to cozy up to Putin in the first place, and to look the other way while he started his rampage in 2014. Which doesn't excuse the behavior of those particular kids. But the situation needs to be understood in this context.

As a German I'm tired of going shopping and only hearing languages of the middle east.

For 5 minutes out the week. In that one particular aisle of the store.

Some of your complaints have validity, but I have to say this one sounds extremely petty. Not to mention naive. In large cities in Germany one has been hearing Middle Eastern voices for decades. Absolutely no one grumbled about it (or if they did, it's because they were, well, basically kind of an asshole).

If you're being suspected of intolerance, it's probably because (with respect to this particular complaint) you're making, auf deutsch gesagt -- aus einer Mücke einen Elefanten.

To the point we have young Devs today that dont know what VPS and Colo ( Colocation) meant.

Back to the article, I am surprised it was only a "A few years ago" Fastmail adopted SSD. Which certainly seems late in the cycle for the benefits of what SSD offers.

Price for Colo on the order of $3000/2U/year. That is $125 /U/month.
> In future versions, I plan to bring CodeMic to more IDEs: Emacs, (Neo)Vim, IntelliJ, Sublime Text, Helix, and others. It’d also be great to have a web player or mobile app for smaller screens (unlike screencasts, the font size can adapt to the screen).

I like the idea of CodeMic a lot. Will the mobile app or web player also allow you to explore the code like you would in the IDE? Perhaps something built on VS Code in the browser that integrates CodeMic? Similar to how GitHub has VS Code in the browser that you can use to explore and edit code from repos.
Minimum wage increases raised prices by only tens of cents per unit. The rest is corporate profits. McDonald’s and Starbucks quarterly and annual profit figures are readily available with a quick search. They can afford to pay labor more.

Nobody wants to use a mountain of tools just to achieve basic feature parity with other languages. Also java syntax is awful.

I think I’m still openly condemning the violence without dismissing the fucking broad based anger around it. There are a large number of us who are very pissed off but still seeking compromise.

There are a very fucking small number of people who own any significant equities, or have their interests actually materialize politically.

Yeah I live in Spain but don't speak the language so well. It's super frustrating when I get redirected to Spanish versions of sites. Sometimes they even redirect me back to Spanish after I deliberately choose English.
The problem with this is once this has been established, the Congress started being lazy and just throw the lawmaking to the bureaucrats, essentially saying "well. we make this agency and they will figure out the rules, we don't care, whatever". And this makes the law completely unaccessible to the regular citizen and the people being completely unable to influence which laws they are living by. While you can, with great effort, dislodge a bad congressman, there's practically no way for a regular citizen to affect anything within a bureaucratic regulatory agency and they are essentially in charge of lawmaking now. They can pass any law they want - and before SCOTUS intervention, Chevron ensured that you have no recourse at all against them, since the courts (by itself a hugely expensive and prohibitively complex process) will just tell you "the Congress passed the authority to the bureaucrats, so they can do whatever they like, we're not intervening". This is not a good balance of powers and not a good way to manage the affairs in the country.

> given that judges likely have even less knowledge of the subject than the ATF, probably worse and more inconsistent.

In the unicorn rainbow world where the regulatory agencies are omniscient saints only worrying about the common good, that may be an argument. In the real world, where the regulators are extremely politicized, extremely concerned with gaining more power and extremely happy to pass completely absurd and harmful regulations if it fits their particular agenda, it's not. And by now we all know this is the world we are living in.
>I raised my hand figuring everyone here was a programmer—and found only my hand had been raised

I guess some things never change.
Nothing. No obfuscation either really. Heavy obfuscation could hurt performance, and light obfuscation can break reflection that might be used by plugins.

There isn't much value in trying to protect their source code. IDEs are evolving rapidly in response to languages, any decompilation you prepare would be outdated immediately. And nearly all JVM programs can be trivially cracked anyways, even if heavily obfuscated/guarded.
Many modern people do not understand spreadsheets.
Yeah and some people reckon web frameworks are bad too. Sometimes it might make sense to host your on your own hardware but almost certainly not for startups.

No, the evidence cited is that a significant portion is also absorbed by companies making lower profits (and a small amount by higher prices).

So this is simply also a case of lack of bargaining power of workers.

I’ve been looking forward to finding out how Aphex Twin has built projects around the streaming format. It may take many more years and releases until someone finds out something like the ten seconds from 0:30-0:40 on all his tracks work when randomly played together in any order, or something along those line.
(Founder) Thanks for the deep questions!

1) Storage is priced on uncompressed data. We don't currently compress segments.

2) It only affects chunk storage. We do have a 'Native' chunk store in mind, the sketch involves introducing NVMe disks (as a separate service the core depends on) - so we can offer under 5 millisecond end-to-end tail latencies.

3) The append ack latency and end-to-end latency with a tailing reader is largely equivalent for us since latest writes are in memory for a brief period after acknowledgment. If you try the CLI ping command (see GIF on landing page) from the same cloud region as us (AWS us-east-1 only currently), you'll see end-to-end and append ack latency as basically the same. TTFB for older data is ~ TTFB to get a segment data range from object storage, so it can be a few hundred milliseconds.

4) We have a deadline to free chunks, so we we PUT a tiny segment if we have to.

Maybe not necessarily; it might turn out to be both with a little more research done? Out of many psychological phenomena, this seems like it could actually be quite research-able.
Same in Spain. Often only the Spanish dubbed audio is available making the content useless to me.

With the increase in ads on streaming platforms I've just reverted back to piracy. The enshittification has gone too far.
Yeah, it's all a balance though. Personally, I'm fine with sacrificing a couple seconds here and there, maybe a minute a day at most to help the rest of the population not have their life destroyed. I do admit though that if we calculated out all the time across all the people it would probably be a less rosy picture. But even the authentication we have now still takes some time, we could save seconds of each person's life if we just rid it altogether. I think i'd need some statistics on time spent vs catastrophes avoided to make a solid determination. Presumably Google has this data?

Out of curiosity, if you’ve been at a FAANG since at least 2009, have you ever retired or taken a “sabbatical” for a year or two, since you would have made enough money to retire and live passively at amounts similar to annual compensation and taxed way better

Just curious how the decisions have formed, its totally fine if FAANG or specifically Apple was fulfilling for you, I also wonder if its financial fear to an irrational extent just because I see that on Blind a lot
As someone who lived through that era, I can tell you there are legions of devs and dev adjacent people who have no idea what it’s like to automate mission critical hardware. Everyone had to do it in the early 2000s. But it’s been long enough that there are people in the workforce who just have no idea about running your own hardware since they never had to. I suspect there is a lot of interest, especially since we’re likely approaching the bring it back in house cycle, as CTOs try to reign in their cloud spend.

That is the opposite of my experience. Slow deploys mean bigger deploys mean more complexity going live mean more nervousness and more testing mean more hesitation mean more chance that something unforeseen mean errors that no one understands mean war rooms.
Again, for people of a certain age or generation it was commonplace to prepend it. I find it endearing in a nostalgic way. I can infer from that person's use of it that he is of that age or generation.

IT unemployment is currently under 4% because the folks that got laid off found new jobs. If you eliminate an entire industry, the unemployed will have a tougher time finding a new job.

So you are saying that the pie is not grown by paying more, it's just that the workers are getting a bigger slice. Could be. That didn't seem to be the main point of the article, but that could also be true. I haven't looked at the data carefully.

I mostly agree with you, but Spring+Kotlin does require the allopen plugin, so it's kind of hacking Kotlin to do the wrong thing (all classes open) in order to support an arguably bad design choice by Spring.
