"The Running man" by Stephen King was published in 1982, the movie starring Schwarzenegger was released in 1987 (another adaptation will be released this year in 2025)

The story is similar to a Robert Sheckley's short story from 1952,"The Prize of Peril" adapted into a movie in Germany in 1970 "Das Millionenspiel" and in France in 1982 "Le prix du danger" (same year as King's Running Man novel)

I would say "The Prize of Peril" is the grandfather of these books, movies and series, as far as I know. Battle Royale is the start of another branch, though : it's not one vs many anymore, it's many vs many.

I believe tape was much more common in Europe, the 1541 was expensive. My second-hand C64 (my first computer!) did come with a 1541, but that wasn't until the early 90s…

I think part of the problem is that no one knows (or agrees on) what “real DEI” is. Is it quotas? Is it bias training? Is it a quarterly presentation from HR?
The article references a discussion between pop author Jonathan Haidt and expert on youth mental health Dr. Candice Odgers

Haidt admits at the very end, is that Odgers knows the research in this space better than anyone, and she wasn’t going to let Haidt get away with making broad generalizations not supported by the data.

She also suggests that Haidt’s problem is that he has a story and then went back searching for data to support it. Rather than going in and seeing what the data actually says

Haidt jumps in to insist you don’t need a pre-existing hypothesis to find something. This is technically true because of course you can sometimes find something that way. But also, it is kind of a big deal right now, given the replication crisis which started in Haidt’s own field of psychology. The crisis was brought on by researchers hunting through data to try to prove something.

Haidt frequently jumps between arguments that aren’t directly connected. When asked about evidence on mental health, he talks instead about things like sextortion and catfishing.

I’m really hoping that more people recognize that Haidt’s position doesn’t seem to really be supported by the evidence.

Instead, politicians, parents, and school administrators are all acting as though Haidt has it all figured out. Mostly because it absolves them of having to do the hard work of teaching kids how to use these tools appropriately.
One key note from the study is that they were looking at overweight and obsese people, not healthy people:

> Therefore, our aim was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials to investigate the possible dose-response association of aerobic exercise of varying intensity with measures of body weight, waist size, and fat in adults with overweight or obesity.
DEI was a song and dance that companies put on for the media, politicians, investors, employees, and the public at large.

Now anti-DEI is a song and dance for the exact same reason.

If you have been in the business long enough, you will know that the company has NO ONE's interests at heart. Never had and never will. They will discriminate against any race they have to, whether majority or minority, if it leads to an extra dollar on their balance sheet.

This matches my conclusion as well. Just use Prometheus and whatever client library for your language of choice, it's 1000x simpler than the OTEL story.
> I'm not sure why the non-unicode APIs are still so commonly used.

Simple: portable code meant to run on Unix (where UTF-8 is king) and Windows -> want to use UTF-8 codepage on Windows and the "A" APIs.
It's a little more complicated than that. There are two international treaties at play here (that the US has ratified)... the Outer Space Treaty requires that countries regulate the actions in outer space of their citizens and companies, in compliance with the outer space treaty and other international treaties (cf. Article VI and Article III). The Convention of the International Telecommunications Union of 1997 (the last version the us has ratified) specifies that the US shall abide by the rules of the ITU, including in allocation of satellite spectrum (Article 6). The ITU allows countries to limit the use of spectrum in certain bands (including those used by starlink) within their borders.

So Zimbabwe actually can ban starlink. And if it ignores Zimbabwe... well Zimbabwe will complain to the ITU, and the ITU to the US. The US would be under obligation to regulate Starlink... with the minor exception of its not clear that the US has any agency that can, at least under current law.

Anyway, it would be a total mess if Elon did that (except in a country like Russia where the US wants him to do that)... and I have no idea what would happen.
Yes, I didn’t think people would be so amazed by it either. Like it’s mind-blowing that this works or has been thought of. But we first did it once as well, some people just discover it late in life I guess (or not at all).
Dig in to learn the details of how your systems and software work, do this by getting local dev resources set up, reading docs/diagrams, etc.

Start to get to know people, and focus on learning about them and what they do.

Don't start immediately dispensing wisdom / advice / opinions unless asked, take time to really understand what has come before you.

At the same time, be helpful to build rapport, if you see someone more junior post a trivial problem on Slack (ie: "getting this error in Docker..") then jump in to help.

Take notes, and make onboarding better for the next person. Are the onboarding docs unclear? is setting up a dev-env the first time somewhat convoluted? Make meaningful and appreciated improvements.

Learn about the product, the customer experience, and be a user of the product to the best of your ability. Make contact with customer support folks as well to learn more about their jobs, pain points they see, etc.

>why the initiative in the first place? It seems to me you're doing at least 1 thing here, and acknowledging that such DEI program was performative in the first place.

The initiative was them bowing to public pressure and the zeitgeist of the time. We will never know if it was completely performative of if they did actual racism. They are obviously not going to admit to it one way or the other. But they are rolling it back and explicitly stating that they won't do racism. That seems fine. What's the problem ?
That's fair. I guess what I'm communicating is that the goals of larger diversity are worth effort, and attention, and the reality of them is bias training in the long list of mandatory trainings, and marketing at conferences.
What's the data transfer speeds you can attain with LoRA devices like these? My understanding is that they're geared more towards bytes per hour than bytes per second, and other than some kind of "I'm alive" message, I don't get the impression these devices are very usable for communication.
Which means being inclusive towards a diverse set of different conditions, so those people may equally access content others have access to?
Yep. What this shows is that companies sway with what they perceive is public opinion. From Floyd to Trump, companies are shaping their internal public facing policies to mirror where they think the public is on social issues.

Lesson taught and learned.
You need obvious people to fire in the next downturn without hurting productivity too badly.

A dei program labels those people for you.

Ironically this is exactly the reason why dei programs were considered illegal until a decade ago.
IMO Twitter has a core failure in promoting premium accounts over regular ones, then compensating those users for the amount of traffic they generate. Almost any post that goes viral will be swarmed by trolling/low effort responses from premium users who are looking to capitalize on outrage clicks. It's an exhausting user experience, IMO. I don't miss it at all.

I've used nothing but Rails since about 2004. Of course I've been integrating and playing with various JS frameworks over the same time period, but the only things that's remained consistent is Rails as the base. I've gone through at least 4 or 5 different JS frameworks in that time and that aspect of development has grown rather tiresome.

They all suck. But the user experience is practically irrelevant to the business of selling ads and operating sentiment manipulation channels, which is the business that all of the large social media companies are in.

And whether their ideas and strategies are well-grounded or seem optimal or ethical to the rest of us, the top leadership at most of those companies lean strongly towards corporatist, libertarian political ideals and see most regulation (and preemptive self-regulation) as both philosophically immoral and an existential threat to their businesses.
Not true!

I have a few friends that are extremely introverted who you may consider them to be conspiracy theorists.

However they do not do anger.

They think twice about what MSM serves them and they are of course open minded, self regulating and highly intelligent.

Oddly enough one of them highlighted the issue with the the Pfizer Papers long before it became world news that Pfizer had lied to the whole world about their covid vaccines being safe and effective, when they were not.

I recommend everyone read the Pfizer Papers. yes the exact same research they tried to keep locked away from 75 years but is now available for everyone to read

It seems that those so called conspiracy theorist who claimed that the covid vaccine was dangerous were in fact correct, so we can all agree that they were not conspiracy theorists.

Diversity should never be a goal or initiative.

It’s a value. You wake up every day and practice diverse hiring practices.

The moment you put a tangible target to hit, is when you gamify diversity into something bad.
Except the whole reason for governments to charter companies is the belief it's good for societal goals. Otherwise why allow private and public companies in the first place if their only goal is to make money, that you as a government create?

This idea that business has this singular goal is the result of brainwashing and shows a deep misunderstanding of both history and how things work today.
The term "Battle Royale" has existed since at least the 18th c.

I was 140kg (310lbs) at some point and got down to 75kg (165lbs) in 1 year. Never did a minute of exercise. I just started eating ~1200 calories per day.

Now, that was 10 years ago, I slowly gained weight again but not to the same degree.

I started the same diet a month ago, at the age of 40, I can not lose weight this time. It is really interesting, I just get exhausted. It's like my body decided not to burn fat but simply shut some stuff down instead. Had some blood tests and stuff and there are no glaring issues.

I guess this time I need to exercise. I wonder if it is age or something else entirely.
Well that's a shame, I'm going to ask some folks about that. 500 spans per trace is ridiculously small and I can't imagine any good reason to have that limitation since it's just not that big of a footprint.

OTel doesn't define any limits on the # of spans in a trace (nor the # of attributes on a span!) but it will be bound by the limits of whatever backend you use. In the case of the one I work for, we do limit the total size of a span to be 1MB or less with 64KB per attribute before truncation. Other backends have different limitations. This is the first I've heard of such a small limitation on the total number of spans in a trace though. Traces are just (basically) collections of structured logs with in-built correlation IDs. I can't imagine why you'd limit them like this.
part of the reason for that experience is also because DataDog is not open telemetry native and all their docs and instructions encourage use of their own agents. Using DataDog with Otel is like trying to hold your nose round over your head

You should try Otel native observability platforms like SigNoz, Honeycomb, etc. your life will be much simpler

Change it to "equitably" if you prefer. The point remains the same.
Because the original design, the one you claim was "inspired by" your work was in actuality significantly different than the examples you showed. If it had actually been similar I would agree with you. But it wasn't. I'm sure to you it looked very similar but to the rest of us they were clearly different patterns and designs. I'm sure it must be very tempting to look at a square or a triangle and think that such a pattern must have been "inspired" by the triangles and squares you made, but how else do you build one of these without making little geometric shapes? Maybe selfish was too strong of a word. Maybe pretentious is a better fit, since you obviously drink your own Kool-Aid and aren't just being malicious.

Consider another item, like a car wheel. Do you think that every 5 spoke wheel looks the same? Is every 5 spoke wheel inspired by the very first 5 spoke wheel ever produced? Should the first maker of a 5 spoke wheel get license fees from every 5 spoke wheel that came afterwards? No.

But the surprising thing to me, is you could have taken the glory here. But you threw it in their face. You could have had a piece of art that was publicly "inspired by Victoia Balva". Most artists are flattered to have their work inspire others. They don't usually see it as a missed revenue opportunity like you do. And when they get what they want, they usually go home happy. You didn't do any of that. You tried to force them to commission you, pay you license fees, and when they decided to just stop being inspired by you that also wasn't good enough. The ONLY way to make you happy here would have been to keep the "inspired" design and pay you to use it.
They are not literally the same, but the point of both measures is to encourage automation by server operators, and are strongly opposed by those who would prefer to keep managing certificates manually. My point is - Apple, like Mozilla, doesn't mind inconveniencing server operators if they see a security benefit for users.

(Also, the revocations would not be without warning - mechanisms like ARI can inform server operators prior to revocation so the certificate can be automatically replaced.)

This doesn't match my experience and it is almost exactly opposite of my personal preference of rebased commits. I get that you want to be incendiary but I think this misses the point, perhaps on purpose.

My good faith addition here: a major influence in this debate seems to me to be how a team views their repo. Merge heavy stuff makes great sense for a repo whose job is just to hold everything; essentially a big and powerful shared clipboard that has all the myriad work-in-progress. Almost like a "dumb" tool (and trust me when I say dumb with lots of love and respect - it isn't criticism it is about which direction coupling points). On the other hand, the rebase heavy approach makes more sense if you view the repo as a contextual knowledge store, holding an almost idealized version of the point in time, uncluttered by the reality of the path actually taken. To broadly generalize my experience, I've found the merge version is generally faster, has low overhead in the moment, and scales pretty well since it is nearly the lowest common denominator approach. Conversely, I've found the rebase version makes debugging and context switching faster and enables a leaner team to cover more ground because the repo has some context and documentation built in via its organization.

Of course, doing either approach poorly will have negative consequences and being inconsistent in either approach is worse than consistently doing one or the other.

I'm not trying to make an argument for which to choose but I am pushing back hard on rebase only being used by teams who are unprofessional and don't care about wasting their time.
History has also shown us that people develop political opinions based on whatever lies are repeated often enough in their media echo chamber.

Consider the truly bizarre origins of antisemitism, for one. (And I'm not talking about people who have opinions on geopolitics in the ME. Think about how the other kind of antisemite, who doesn't give a rat's ass about what's going on 10,000 miles away reaches their political opinions.)

Or, better yet, the gay satanic-panic currently gripping half the country, and the insane culture war being waged around it. You can't actually believe that all those people who have strong opinions about it have been somehow personally wronged by homosexuals.

But they do turn on the telly to listen to some lunatic screaming about how there's a mass conspiracy to turn their children gay.

This is slightly misleading, as most Internet access in African countries is via mobile phones, not 'traditional' in-home connections.

That being said, it would be interesting to see what happened if all of, say, Lagos (fastest-growing city+suburbs in the world) suddenly started using Starlink exclusively.

"Good things" is not very high on my list...
> Public services are not a jobs program.

It definitely feels like a one in Canada (or France).
With most testing and verification, there's a law of diminishing returns. It helps you find stuff that you need to fix and there is always stuff to find. But at some point you've found enough of the stuff that needed fixing that you can use the software and it starts making money for you. Most people stop there. It's not going to make much more money if you continue your efforts and the risk of a lot of financial damage is usually not that high. A good software license will ensure that. You might be better off paying a decent lawyer than wasting time on formal methods. Lawyers aren't cheap. But neither is having your software engineering team faff about with a lot of complex tools for weeks on end.

And with software you can just do an update if something is found later. Not a big deal usually. There are exceptions of course. With hardware things get more expensive. But still, judging from the state of e.g. most bluetooth and other hardware I've ever owned, the barrier of good enough is pretty low there too. Mostly things work and you can usually work around minor issues when they don't.

Some, software justifies/requires going above and beyond doing testing. Especially if it controls critical hardware. I've never worked on such stuff. And even there the notion of releasing often and breaking stuff by testing it seems to be catching on. For example SpaceX is doing agile rocket development. They launch starship every few months until they get it reliable enough to launch things into orbit.

I think they may confused because 1) the specific phrase "diversity, equity, inclusion" and term "DEI" only really started to be common around 2019-2020, and 2) DEI only really entered the public discourse in the past couple years.

This is causing people who were not that aware of these topics before to jump to the incorrect conclusion that because they weren't seeing discussion of "DEI" before that period, corporate diversity programs in general must be recent, whereas in reality it's only this specific name for them that is recent.
