It might be just psychological not technical.

> Cool. So the tar would be uploaded to the hub and from there the user can manage deployments. Or maybe even create draft? deployments from the gh action and the user would only have to confirm/approve before shipping to clients.

You'll probably right all of these scenarios are possible, we should make it configurable from both sides: "all the other party to manage the deployment"

I think this is as good a time as any to reread "The Rise of Worse is Better".

https://www.dreamsongs.com/RiseOfWorseIsBetter.html

The article compares the Unix/C philosophy with the Lisp philosophy and concludes that Lisp is "better" (it is The Right Thing), but that Unix/C will probably end up dominating. Obviously, he was right.

The article is pretty famous around the suckless, minimalist, crowd. But I think everyone who reads it takes a slightly wrong lesson from that article. The point isn't that Unix/C won because it was simple. The point is that Unix/C was simple enough to use, simple enough to implement on most available hardware and that it did everything you needed it to do.

The minimalist people have turned software simplicity into the modern version of The Right Thing, and are surprised when they found out that the "worse" (more complex) thing wins. But The Right Thing will never win. The Good Enough always wins.

Is Linux better than *BSD? Well *BSDs are more simple, easier to understand and reason about etc. But, at least OpenBSD, doesn't have mount --bind, so I can't use it. Case closed. And I think that's the case for most people. Linux has thing X which I need so I will use Linux, even if ideologically *BSD is imo better.

Is D-Bus The Right Thing? No; but it is The Good Enough. polkit, selinux, ACLs, and so on.

The most recent example I can think of is Hyprland. It is basically the only viable Wayland window manager (aside from sway). Not because it is the best designed or the simplest, or anything like that. But simply because it is the only one Good Enough to use.

SystemV init was not good enough for complex service management. systemd is. systemd simply does everything you need it to do well enough. So systemd wins. Simple as. It will only be replaced when it is no longer Good Enough.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/372170 is a promising step towards running multiple instances of a service with separate configurations and decoupling from systemd.
Komodo looks like really cool. It's slightly more focused on managing my own deployments if I have full control of the server!
That shows how little you know about AAA studios culture regarding performance.

My credentials are having been a IGDA member for several years, already been in places like SCEE SOHO studio, regular GDCE attendee during its time in UK, and first GCDE in continental.

And to turn you question around, it proves that arguing about RAII impact on commercial success of the tools is completly irrelevant without solid proofs, they are printing money.
I'm afraid I spent too much time with LUA lately and fell in love with its simplicity. Kinda hard to go back to OOP after that.
Man, at first glance the documentation looks so good.

I’ve been meaning to build a PoC for directly manipulating symbols instead of text with the idea to eventually eliminate the possibility of syntax errors.

The task always looked one step too big for me to be worth it - the foundation for programmatically manipulating code seemed to be missing, maybe Roslyn fits the bill, but C# isn’t interesting to me ecosystem wise.

It seems like this may be what I was waiting for - pretty cool!
I think the debate on systemd as regards to its merits was decided already years ago when all the major Linux distros adopted it. You need to go way out of your way to run Linux without systemd now, people who want that setup have clearly become a (very small) minority while the rest of the Linux world moved on.

The conflict as parent commenter witnesses it continues because that small minority continue to (very loudly) disagree not on the merits. It is their prerogative to disagree if they desire, but their basis is much more about beliefs than superiority.

It's like Polandball memes where UK crazily chants "Britannia rule the waves...!" while US goes off to freedom some oil with its boats.

Llama.cpp supports Vulkan. why doesn't Ollama?
llama.cpp has supported vulkan for more than a year now. For more than 6 months now there has been an open PR to add vulkan backend support for Ollama. However, Ollama team has not even looked at it or commented on it.

Vulkan backends are existential for running LLMs on consumer hardware (iGPUs especially). It's sad to see Ollama miss this opportunity.
Mm, indeed.

Though I would note even your link says:

> Roughly 4% to as high as 12% of CEOs exhibit psychopathic traits, according to some expert estimates, many times more than the 1% rate found in the general population and more in line with the 15% rate found in prisons.

On the plus side, this is still a small minority.

On the down side, these remind me a lot of Musk:

> CEO who worked with several pregnant women told people that he had impregnated his colleagues.

By way of Neuralink.

> CFO thought his CEO had a split personality, until he realized that he was simply playing different characters based on what he needed from his audience.

"Will my rocket explode?"-Musk is a lot more cautious and grounded than everything-else-Musk — including other aspects of work on SpaceX.

> Autocratic CEO fired a well-respected engineer “just to make a statement.” He fired anyone who challenged him, explaining there was no reason to second-guess him because he was always right and needed people to execute his vision rather than challenge it.

Basically all of Twitter, plus some other anecdotes from Starlink, SpaceX, Tesla.

Exactly, for some values of "good enough". (Unfortunately IMNSHO) Systemd cannot be toppled by all-out assault. It must be subverted. Looking forward to reimplementations and/or shims which provide the Systemd API but are reimplementations.

Something like Wine, where in the analogy systemd is the Microsoft Win32 API and we want to be able to run systemd "enabled" software on something else. Or at least re-compile it.

Wine also started with an incredible amount of stubs which did nothing, but that was often enough for many programs to work anyway.
Cool to see you were inspired by Ser!

> SSD is only supported on Wayland. Ghostty uses the KDE Server Decoration protocol. Despite the name, this protocol is supported on almost every major Wayland compositor, not just KDE. For X11, we could not find a well-supported protocol for SSD, so we continue to use CSD.

I thought X11 was SSD by default, delegating windows decorations to the window manager?
Eh, “blame the minorities to get elected, fail to solve actual problems” is the easiest political play in the book.

It doesn’t take a genius to come up with that one.

Says more about voters and our information environment than it does about Trump.

Actual solutions to complex problems tend to be complex. Fake solutions can get away with being 3 word slogans. The latter has a huge structural advantage in politics, especially in our current information environment where people can’t focus on a single problem for more than 5 seconds at a time.
They aren't losing money, they're spending it [on themselves].

The problems in taxation come when a company's spending isn't benefitting the area/country or its employees' taxable income. Buying offshore yachts to rent back, sinking money into highly-depreciative assets (eg company cars) that might not be taxed as employee benefits. There's a lot to unpack but the bigger you are, the easier it is to hide a few billion dollars from the national taxation service by hauling it off to another area.

You were suggesting the raid on Waco was about taxes and all the chaos was totally avoidable.

I’m arguing it was not really about taxes and it was almost certainly not avoidable. Neither “arrest him outside” nor “don’t use CS gas” were likely to avoid the outcome.

You can prove your point by describing how it was avoidable. If your answer is “let people operate child sex slavery compounds if they’re sufficiently well-armed,” that’s an opinion you’re welcome to hold, but just come out and say it.
That's a neat trick!

It does still require letters to be able to spell attribute/function names (unless I'm reading it wrong in that blog post).

At this point, I am willing to believe the point of systemd is to be the new way to do anything. "If you want to talk to the kernel, go through me".

It's a new (ill specified, non standard) runtime to target. It's like what Win32 is to the raw NTDLL, or the dotnet or Java API. It hides the OS.

Unlike neural networks the brain contains massive numbers of lateral connections. This, combined with topographical organization, allows it to do within layer temporal predictions as activations travel across the visual field, create active competition between similarly tuned neurons in a layer (forming natural sub networks), and quite a bit more. So, yeah, the brain's organisation serves it's function, and it does so very very well.
Argonaut: A first European lunar lander
Just see `systemctl $command $unit` to discover that systemd it's not designed by sysadmins, while it's built for them. That's it's problem, like stratis/btrfs vs zfs.

These are software designed by people who have no experience in user-centric design, they design in theory, reasoning in theory, ignoring practice.

yup, and if it wasn't for all the leverage these guys have, despite NDAs, there'd be more influx due to abuse of access to sensitive data. LLMs can come up with bunches of ways how to leak info without revealing one's identity, so it's safe to assume people in higher level positions have bunches of actionable strategies already in place

How so? The functionality of the kernel and of systemd are basically orthogonal: neither really provides features that the others do. There are some interfaces in the kernel which are basically intended to be delegated to one userspace process, like cgroups and the hotplug management done by udev, so talking to them directly as an application or library is probably not a good idea and those processes provide a means of co-ordinating that, but that's a kernel decision and the udev one predates systemd.
Yeah. Exactly. It's also how Wayland and Pipewire managed to win: by being backwards compatible with X and Pulseaudio, while also overcoming their shortcomings.

The problem is that if the only complaint with systemd is that it's too complex, any backwards compatible alternative will necessarily be as complex as systemd + the new thing (at least in terms of complexity of interface).

If there are actual technical deficiencies of systemd, then sure, maybe such a backwards compatible alternative might be in order.

Also, everything expands in time. Wine may have started out with many stubs, but now we're at the point of implementing Windows-y APIs in the kernel with the sole goal of improving wine performance (NTSYNC).
> I attended a conference on the AI Act

I find it quite baffling that there's even such a thing as an entire conference on a specific law.

> Regulation is intended to be strongest in a quite narrow set of use cases explicitly defined as high-risk.

Intention vs. implementation always seems to be a major issue with EU legislation.

They always claim that these regulations are supposed to target "large companies" or a small number of cases, yet in reality it's usually the small companies and entrepreneurs that suffer while the supposed target audience of large players scoffs at these laws.

Hence, I consider these claims to be outright lies intended to calm people down while the EU continues to collude with incumbents to further entrench their dominant position and smother any kind of change or innovation.

> GDPR will have been more 'disruptive' in practice than the AI Act for the vast majority of developers

Relevant EU representatives at the time claimed there not just wasn't any disruption due to GDPR, but that this regulation would even even spark innovation.

Well, that turned out nicely ...

The EU commissioner responsible literally claimed she could implement all GDPR requirements for a public website herself in a matter of just a few minutes. These people are as arrogant as they are clueless.
I'm now waiting for the clear definition of "sufficient expressive elements". It feels this is going to generate a heated debate about what qualifies as meaningful human input versus just hitting generate on a prompt.

I think the main takeaway is that this could have big implications for the kind of tools we develop next past simple text-to-image tools and we'll probably see more effort put on tools that allow artists to have granular control over the generated content.
"and it gets the job done."

Until it doesn't. Fortunately I didn't have to debug it often, but when it was a lot of pain.

I prefer the fs under /tmp to be tmpfs. On the BBB is wasn't. I changed that and on next reboot the system didn't come up again -- no way to log in. Why? And what to do? Turns out I failed to state the fs_freq and fs_passno fields -- those aren't optional, but while the old mount tool tolerated their absence, systemd chose to interpret the fstab strictly, failed to mount that fs, consequently didn't reach the local-fs.target and hence didn't offer any way to log-in. Unlike Raspberry Pis, the BBB doesn't offer the possibility to remove (and mount and debug elsewhere) the boot medium. Fortunately, I found help on-line on how to connect a serial terminal to the BBB and interrupt the boot process, forcing the use of /bin/sh as init process...
It's not a fallacy, and I think we agree on most points.

I am not convinced by the author's thesis.

But I'm also not convinced by your defence of Narnia. It's 4 white British middle class kids (Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy) who have the privilege of being sent to the country during a dangerous time. I'm happy that you were able to identify with these characters. But for the many, many people who prefer to read stories about people like themselves and can't identify with Peter and Susan, I'm glad there is something for them now.

It won't last though. When you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression. For people who've enjoyed characters who look just like them, who've grown up with experiences just like theirs, any change feels like oppression. See the vicious backlash to any female or gay or non-white video game character nowadays. Game, book and movie producers who want to play it safe will go back to white straight males to avoid that backlash.
Feel free to remove my comment if it's not allowed.

I am _very_ disappointed with Lemmy. The community is full of echo chambers, and that's already bad.

But what broke the camel's back for me is the fact that one of the Lemmy creators one day literally posted what I will describe as a propaganda website. I had to double check, but nope, it definitely is a propaganda website. The fact that you made a software just to spread your dangerous ideology is _so_ disgusting. Malicious.

I used less and less Lemmy since then.

This also prompted me to contribute to PieFed[1], but at this point Fediverse for me does not feel the same anymore. That event left a bad taste in my mouth.
