> So you're comparing Kubernetes to what? Not running services at all?

Surprisingly there were hosted services on the internet prior to kubernetes existing. Hell, I even have reason to believe that the internet may possibly predate Docker
Yes, looks like that. He's doing fine today, thanks for asking.
I have the opposite experience. I tried to setup Plex a few times but always ran into issues with getting ads, having to make a Plex account, and dealing with free/paid features. I just couldn't get it to work without ads and all the hassle. Instead I installed Jellyfin on a NUC running Docker, downloaded the app from the play store onto my TV, and it just works, no delays, no lag.
Whether the US can or cannot run a deficit has nothing to do with the dollar being a reserve currency. It being a reserve currency means it probably will run a deficit but that's just a reflection of foreigners wanting to save US dollars, which is true for many country's currency.

The deficit is just a reflection of the sectoral balances[1], which governments don't realistically influence through normal policy. They obviously can change them, but it generally results in significant undesirable outcomes.

I loved the old LH when she ran it (and a short time after, before it became fully enshittified). Still have a Steelcase Leap chair, which was the usual runner-up to the Herman Miller Aeron in their office chair votes.

Do you think medical researchers also do all their work in coffee shops?
In the same vein, at Volvo's factory outside of Gothenburg they have the obligatory museum. It's just that they don't showcase old, famous models. The museum is entirely built around car safety and how Volvo has worked with it. It is interesting with a company that has been so dedicated to their core values for such a long time.
I was going to mention this as well. This is pretty standard musk, delete large swaiths of stuff, see what breaks, and put the essential pieces back. It's supposed to be much faster than meticulous planning.
What's the biggest difference between a startup and a country?

Aside from the obvious distinction, Musk has no experience running existing corporations with lots on the line to lose, he comes from move fast break things, great for a social media app, who gives a shit, great for literal moonshots, go big or go home.

However when you manage something big, any upside from improving is weighed against its risk of degradation.

What I find confusing is that this is not typical of conservatism, it's like a progressive right of political outsiders whose express goal is to destroy the government, I don't think that's a controversial statement. And I truly believe that's what (at least half of) the people voted.

My best estimation is that they are conservatives in that they want to conserve power that they hold, and they see the government not as a foundation for their corps, but as an enemy, not state as a literal creator of money, but as its dilluter or robber (through taxes), not the state as the basis for the fiction that is a corporation, but as a taxer of them. And their emnity is mostly due to the redistributive role of their state.

And I believe that people vote out of aspirational belonging to a rich class, they think they are rich, or they want to aspire to become rich, or they buy into the establishes morals that entitles the rich to power.

So that's how I wrap my heads around the conservative right overthrowing and destroying the government, they see it as a threat to their established power, or their chances to rise to power.

That's so close to a variant we once invented. There were 4 of us, 2 of us good at chess and 2 beginners. We played in teams, a good person and a beginner on each team. We took it in turns to move and you couldn't tell your partner ANYTHING.

As the good player, you had to come up with a good move for the board but also for what your partner might do next. Was fun!

These are not playoff systems for a championship but for a promotion/relegation. There are better examples like the Belgian league but they carry over more benefits from the regular season.

The champions league determines the teams going the brackets in 8 "season" games. Instead of > 30.

But even in your bad faith argument the number 1 and for the championship even the number 2 is decided by just the regular season. So they understand that the regular season should mean more than some seeding.

Everyone knows that in 80 games a half are either walkovers or don't mean anything in the end. They are only there for the money and could be cut for a better league. They could, just like 3 pointers, even make it a more profitable option.
That's why there is work, no supply of fresh grads.

I'm working on a similar service but built on top of ActivityPub and from experience I can say that consuming the firehose in real time with your app (I'm referring to the "random discussions" section) is going to be slow as hell.

Twitter has survived death, but it’s only a fraction of what it used to be in terms of traffic, revenue, and profit compared to before Musk

I can see how when owning a building in a place like that, you might be tempted to say, "not even going to dig, don't want to know what we might find under there" that will cause your property to completely change value and control.

I wonder who takes the loss, in case suddenly your building can no longer be developed and is essentially state property (although owned by you).
>> federal employees are much more likely to return

Not necessarily. It's generally understood that federal employees accept a lower salary in exchange for career stability. If a career as a federal employee now has higher risk then at least some people will be expecting a higher salary.

This is horribly naive. It’s not twitter. There are safety outcomes which need to be considered in safety critical agencies.

I mean can you even claim to make the assumption that the actual key staff were rehired? Can you make the assumption that they are working safely with the resources they need? Can you make an assumption that they have covered the entire scope of the organisation?

Probably not.

Chess is played one piece at a time, not smashing all the pieces off the board.
No I am with the devs on this. I am against people submitting code without discussing with the maintainers and then crapping on them later if the patches don't get accepted something like the arguments rust thing for Linux kernel. As it just will cause unnecessary friction and if the devs/maintainers stop enjoying on the project everyone suffers. I have seen hobby open source projects die with devs getting tired of arguments and then abandoning the project.
Imposing memory security in C [video]
Somebody who doesn’t want to understand DNS, Linux, or anything beyond their framework is a hazard. They’re not able to do a competent code review on the vomit that LLMs produce. (Am I biased much?)
The golang compiler that came out 3 days ago builds much smaller WASM binaries .

Openai is not running solid five minutes of LLM compute per request. I know they are not profitable and burn money even on normal request, but this would be too much even for them.

Likely they throttle and do a lot of waiting for nothing during those five minutes. Can help with stability and traffic smoothing (using "free" inference during times the API and website usage drops a bit), but I think it mostly gives the product some faux credibility - "research must be great quality if it took this long!"

They will cut it down by just removing some artificial delays in few months to great fanfare.

Quite a neat idea that could be useful for memory-constrained environments.

[Shameless plug]:

If you are into hashtables, you might want to check out Dandelion Hashtable [0]. We use it in our next-generation databases, and it was published in HPDC'24. It is currently the fastest in-memory hashtable in practice.

It improves closed addressing via bounded-cacheline chaining to surpass 1B in-memory requests/second on a commodity server.

How is learning to program from someone sitting next to you breathing down your neck better than learning to program via a Zoom code pairing session?

I’ve been writing software in and out of offices for 20 years, and I honestly don’t understand what do you mean.
Because it's too abstract. Laypeople can't see the constraints of coding, thus can't appreciate the accompanying accomplishments.

It takes two seconds to watch professional artists or athletes do their craft and come to the conclusion "Yep, I definitely can't do that."
Once at a certain size didn’t Facebook say move fast but don’t break the infrastructure. Maybe they learned something about being at a certain scale.
If we take Twitter/X as an example of this process, my personal experience has been that it has been degraded to a spams and bot hell shortly after Musk took over.
But my personal experience isn't quantifiable, what is quantifiable is X valuation which, according to Fidelity, has been depreciating and back in Oct. 2024 was estimated at nearly 20% of the original acquisition price.

surely a nuclear arsenal isn't one of those things.
Also, I don't really understand how they delivered letters letting people know that they had been fired but were struggling to rescind the letters because "we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel"

Did they just hand them a note saying "your fired" and escort them out of the building?
There used to be one of these in Dubai too, but it closed down during the pandemic. I remember a very surreal dinner there in circa 2016.
Does it support other scheme implementations? Or at least any plans to do so?
Not at any scale that counts. There are a whole bunch of companies _trying_ to make zero carbon cement, but it's all very early stuff.

The lifetime of a cement plant is 30-50 years, and they cost 100-200M Euros to build, so even if there were a process that was ready to scale today, producing a cement that passed regulatory standards, we'd still be making some Portland cement into the 2070s.

Ergo, producers would like to stick a carbon-capture plant onto their kilns.
And also, what if a nation state is different than a tech startup and shouldn't be run quite the same?
If you work in a regulated industry there is no way around producing design documents.
I’m sure the property development mega corporation will get over it.
I think there is a tiny difference if Twitter is not working or if the nuclear arsenal is malfunctioning.

It's not about the UK, which you'd know if you hadn't stopped reading ;) Last paragraph of the article:

> "Of course, here in the UK we aren’t subject to the EU CRA. I’m hoping that, by the time we get our own version, it will be clearer how the law will work."

The current British government is, of course, not very high quality and may well make very similar mistakes in the drafting of its own law. But that isn't clear because it isn't written yet. This article is purely about the EU.
Well, obviously you can't have them hanging around in an office that manages the nuclear stockpile. It's a far too critical of a role to have a bunch of fired people around it.

The US's GDP isn't based on the amount of bloat in its government. Sure spending finds its way into the economy, but tax dollars saved also will. As for Twitter/X - the goal isn't revenue but profit, and Twitter was not in a good shape before Elon. Musk recently noted they are barely breaking even now, and the recent sale of X debt was just above original pricing. Considering big advertisers are coming back to X, that's probably only going to look better.
> Sounds like a VP is under a tremendous amount of stress, and took it out on this one employee.

It doesn't really sound like that to me.

> But his day soon took an ominous turn, when he received a text from Garrett Monaghan, a Vice President – Branch HelpDesk. “I don’t know what the fuck you just did, but come to my desk immediately when that town hall ends. Please,” according to a message that was viewed by Fortune. Monaghan was Welch’s immediate supervisor in 2022 and 2023 and, though he is no longer his direct boss, they both work in Technology Employee Support Services, or TESS, a division of JPMorgan Chase.

> When Welch got to the meeting with Monaghan, he says he found the VP standing in a small conference room, along with another executive, Jeffrey Todd Merrill, Vice President – Global Dedicated IT Support, who was seated. (Merrill was Welch’s boss from 2018 to 2021 but is no longer.) Welch says that Monaghan told him he had “just dragged our whole organization through the mud. Go and clean off your desk and get the fuck out of here,” Welch recalls.

[The VP eventually, hours later and presumably after the issue being escalated above him, begrudgingly sent a dishonest "apology" (why would he have told him to GTFO if he 'agreed with his message' as he claimed).]

This was not just a momentary unprofessional loss of temper. He took an employee's honest question as a personal affront "for making the VP look bad in front of the boss", and arranged a lynch mob so he could throw his weight around and humiliate a subordinate.

This has the character of a devious sycophant with a personality disorder. He may or may not be under stress, but I would bet that has little bearing on this kind of behavior and also that it is not the first time he has done something like it.

The “higher-ups” you speak of are just the top PowerPoint jockeys who get promoted extremely fast — all professional services firms are highly incentivized to give people fancy titles so they can bill them at higher rates.

Even the senior management have never actually done or accomplished anything other than Googling stuff and pasting it on PowerPoint slides.

Consulting firms like this are a one way street for young grads, up or out. It’s not like McKinsey is recruiting successful founders or corporate executives with actual business acumen to sell PowerPoint slides by the hour.

There is no there there. Ironically, the scandals they're supposedly "behind" only serve to build their brand. It gives cover to the morally bankrupt executives at the actual company, while signaling to other executives that McKinsey will take the fall for you.

Of course you can. Write your own abstraction of Unicode string, it is easy. Php has all the tools for it.

Yes, in mainstream PHP you use the webserver to leverage forking. The great thing about that is that vastly simplifies the language and any frameworks written in that language. No, it doesn’t force anything to the client.

Also any performance gains made in web server technology is given to PHP for free.

In Java and Python and the like you typically have a thread pool to handle every request, this has the benefit that you can share memory with mutexes between request (threads) . However 99% of cases that is not typically something you want, to have leaky requests, thus most of the time you write code similar to PHP to avoid any hard to debug lock. In Python you also have bad threading performance because of the GIL, thus you avoid anything that steps into that.

Thus PHP share-nothing-model wins again. It is also a natural fit to stateless REST. In PHP you use the database to share memory (data), which is a natural fit in a web stack. And as with the web server you can now leverage any performance gains in database technology.

Nodejs is of course complete trash with the mini freezes of the event loop. And to leverage multiprocess you have to use something like cluster, thus you are back to share-nothing again.

Thus what you argue for is to change a successful request and memory model because of that 1% use case. That is dumb.

Yes, so it's a good thing the first step is:

> [Step 1] Question every requirement. Each should come with the name of the person who made it. You should never accept that a requirement came from a department, such as from "the legal department" or "the safety department." You need to know the name of the real person who made that requirement. Then you should question it, no matter how smart that person is. Requirements from smart people are the most dangerous, because people are less likely to question them. Always do so, even if the requirement came from me. Then make the requirements less dumb.
Well you may be right. But you can turn on the details and see that it seems to pull data, evaluate it, follow up on it. But my thought was: Why do I see this in slow motion? My home made Python stuff runs this in a few seconds, and my bottleneck is the API of the sites I query. How about them.
