> A company chooses its vendors. If its vendors turn out to be incompetent, they should choose again once the damage has been done.

You say that and yet Teams has 320 million people using it, and I bet almost none of them enjoy the experience. Sometimes you just have to work with what you're given. Given "incompetence", we might as well throw in all of Azure.

> Let Salesforce figure out how to automate certificates, they've been in the business for long enough.

That might be true for DV, but there's classes of certificates that take at least weeks to obtain, think BIMI VMC or codesigning.

Previous shortcuts (dotfiles) which performed merges and other operations no longer work, as you never know if the project uses one branch name or the other.

And there's a whole new breed of programmers out there who feel offended on behalf of others about renaming versus not renaming, for example, the word "robot" comes from slave in Slavic languages and it should be banned, etc.

I somewhat agree with either banning all potentially offensive words or none at all, so let's go with none? Otherwise git is now simply gatekeeping offensiveness, and that's absurd.
The juxtaposition of how the original comment starts, then the appearance of the verbatim “good comment”, then the spacecraft engravings made me laugh tears.

I'm a data engineer in a company that handles several applications using several Kubernetes clusters and manage several micro-services. Using kubectl commands manually and terminal commands was a norm and caused the learning curve to understand in monitoring or managing the cluster to be very steep.

Ever since me and my team moved to using Grogg, managing kubernetes has become a lot more simple and understandable to colleagues that had a way lower level of technical knowledge across different departments and teams.

Grogg has been integrated in the company and a key component and Michael has been very responsive when it came to bug fixes and troubleshooting. I just wanted to show my gratitude and highly suggest using this extension if you want to enhance your kubernetes cluster managing experience to be feel truly seemless.

Thank you so much for this extension Michael!
Well AI could create machine code and not bother with languages. Then we can say programming is ended. Can't see that on any horizon.
Are we talking about "coding" or software engineering ? It's somewhat good at "coding", which makes up maybe 25% of my workload, and not so good at engineering imho.

"coding" is like learning cursive and how to spell words, no matter how good you are at that it won't make you a NYT best seller.
I'm aware, I grew up on a farm growing potatoes (amongst other things). My point is, again, growing a few potatoes is very, very different to growing multiple field fulls of potatoes at an industrial scale and the whole hubris thing is people thinking such a thing is scaleable.

Sure, grow a few potatoes in your garden, growing your own food is commendable. But to pretend a home garden is scaleable to a proper farm is ignorant at best, and is exactly what happens very often when technologists talk about the topic of farming.
There are a lot of Chinese doomsayers out there, about how they are about to collapse (zeihan). Then this, farming, or Deepseek comes out. I think their demise is over exaggerated.

Nothing public to point to, sorry.

Sub-CAs: Not really. Operational risk to the parent CA is huge, you'd be hard pressed to get any current public CA to sign an issuing CA to be operated externally.
Cross-signing still works (though it is the stuff of nightmares in many cases) but again you have to have money and a CA willing to do it!

The worst thing is that the fear of the US becoming Argentina may drive a series of actions that turns the US into Argentina.

Although the title was not changed, if you don't read the actual post, it's misleading.

It makes connections to Apple when you launch it, and when you open project files.

It also makes connections when you build, although that is to be expected, since signing is required for uploading builds to the store.

It does not "constantly" phone home.

My poor ass area finally got internet service through a fiber co-op that is doing great now. Before this the people around here couldn't even get DSL because telecomms didn't want to spend the money upgrading any of the 60+ year old phone lines or laying down any fiber that wasn't for their cell phone towers that they can gouge people on.

I am not from the US but have driven a lot more in the US than the average tourist (maybe x0,000 miles). What amazes me is not only those traffic violations but how often they're justified on forums (including HN) because of things like 'it's unsafe to drive the limit when everyone's going faster'. Over there, people seem to drive with a deathwish.

It's quite jarring to come home and drive an expressway in South Australia where the "speeders" are doing 105 km/h on a 100 km/h route. Someone doing significantly more is a rarity where I live.

With no moat, they aren't placed to capture much value; moats are what stops market competition from driving prices to the zero economic profit level, and that's even without further competition from free products that are being produced by people who aren’t even trying to support themselves in the market you are selling into, which can make even the zero economic profit price untenable.

Yeah, this is a nice selection of European cities to compare!

Having lived in Berlin and Stockholm (and a few other cities), I'd say Stockholm has by far the worst kebab options of all places I've lived, while Berlin was the best one.

I'm curious whether this is reflected in local reviews, or whether the locals just lower or heighten their standards based on the what the average food quality is like.
Perhaps, but only in the case that the delayed revocations were scoped to those certificates covered by the TRO, and not over 1000x more from subscribers who had nothing to do with the company who filed the TRO.

Still, "never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity".
I reckon it really depends on the kind of clients you’re looking for. I’ve had clients call that just started building an app and were looking to hire their first dev. They didn’t need a resume, but also found me too expensive.

Most companies that are interested are aware of the going rates. But they want to be sure I’m as good as my marketing says - many companies have been burned before by seniors who weren’t senior - so in my experience they usually do ask for a resume and an interview just like an employee. Main difference seems to be the trust in the work I’ve done; I’ve never been asked to make an assessment. That might also be because I filter out these clients before we get to that point.
My own ~/.gitconfig looks like this:

[alias]
co = checkout
ci = commit
st = status
br = branch
hist = log --pretty=format:'%h %ad | %s%d [%an]' --graph --date=short
type = cat-file -t
dump = cat-file -p
dft = difftool
[tag]
sort = version:refname
[tar "tar.xz"]
command = xz -c
[tar "tar.zst"]
command = zstd -T0 -c
[log]
date = iso-local
[pull]
ff = only
[diff]
tool = difftastic
[safe]
directory = *
[advice]
detachedHead = false
[init]
defaultBranch = master
I guess the key difference is the amount of branches that you can make at any given level.

Calling a folder citron instead of 2, gives room to have N amount of folders at that level instead of just 10, which I think is the constrain that made this system manageable.
> We had a carbon tax, sort of, briefly, but no one wanted it, and still doesn’t.

Australia briefly had something their politicians called a carbon tax, but it was really cap and trade, which is an entirely different system and is rubbish. In particular, you have to give ordinary people back the money the carbon tax collects or they'll rightfully hate it, which cap and trade does not.

And then, because the system they proposed was the miserable one, the opposition leader credibly threatened to repeal it (and then did), so hardly anyone bothered to try to save costs under a program they reasonably expected to quickly go away.

Actual carbon taxes have been implemented in parts of Europe and they do what they're expected to do.

> Fuel for vehicles here, petrol and diesel, has become wildly expensive, but cars have become huge to gigantic.

People used to say "buy a smaller car" as the way to save fuel, since that used to be about the only way to do it. Then carmakers learned you could design an SUV with the use of a wind tunnel instead of shaping it like a brick and then use a smaller displacement engine with a turbo, or a hybrid system, and then you get SUVs with better fuel economy than subcompacts got in the 90s.

Even the huge stonking V8s still get modern aerodynamics and get significantly better mileage than the old ones did.

> To the point where electric vehicle sales here in Australia have fallen off a cliff

Electric vehicles were never popular in Australia. Range is their Achilles heel and Australia is spread out. But then you do a plug-in hybrid that can operate as electric 90% of the time while completely solving the range issue.
you're not allowed to make fire. get inspired by music and make it yourself. write anything in any known written language.

its a new thing. not an old thing. and its only there for people to take money of others.

do you realy think its a good thing? its a large part of what makes so many people poor and hungry in the world.

Did you miss the part where people pay for their broadband connection? Recurring income is usually used by internet service providers for ongoing maintenance.

Or do you think the price paid is too low to support ongoing maintenance? In which case ... that doesn't appear to be the case from other FTTP providers that have sprung up over the years ... it points to price gouging from monopoly incumbents.
You didn't say that, but you're supporting the guys who did.

The parent article tells the story starting from before the desktop calculator in question and devotes several paragraphs to it, and I didn't mean just that one web page. The parent article doesn't seem to have any information that isn't presented on hp9825.com.

The several paragraphs in the parent article corresponding to specifically that web page start at:

> Tom Osborne, a Berkeley-trained electrical engineer, wasn’t one of those 9000 employees. In his Bay-area apartment, he had built a floating-point electronic calculator he called the Green Machine (after the color of the automotive touch-up paint he used on the balsa wood case). He tried shopping it around but no one was interested until he showed it to HP in June, 1965.
I do not care about github, they can rename their domain to "smarthub.com", and force all users to migrate!

I do care if someone tries to push this stuff onto me. Changes in Git defaults would break 20 years of compatibility! It is bloody important in Linux development!

And I find it very moronic, that someone who writes "git" on every second line, complains "master" was not renamed.
Should create an XKCD with “There is always n+1 Git client GUI”.

EVERY new employee arrives saying “Hey I’ve found this great UI for git, this one really nails it and makes git easy” and every time it’s a new Git UI that I’ve never heard of. It’s the “hello world” of startups: Creat their great git UI and publish it.

Then they commit with the default crappy commit messages and they don’t know how to git-rebase-i.
The house is also part of the crime? As in, loosing is part of the money transfer plan?
Shortened aliases come from cvs/svn land, sorting tags by a logical manner, adding some extra archive types for "git archive", making it so git log always shows my local time zone, pull will never do a non-ff merge, make it so Git doesn't complain about repositories in places it doesn't like, turning off an annoying message about a detached HEAD state, and shut git up about the default branch.
A minimap for vim
- Works on 7.3
- Uses only vimscript
- Doesn't require compiled with lua/python
- Works on DOS ( and Win9X)
- Doesn't use braille characters. So that it can work on older machines.

Why?
Because I thought it would be a fun challenge. I have a win 98 machine. I have Vim 7.3 installed. It has not been compiled with lua/python. I want a minimap.

It's been fun to find clever compromises to make it work. I've almost completed the project. (at least it works on my modern computer, I'm sure when I transfer it to my Win98 I'll find I'm using some modern vimscript functions and then I have to invent fun workarounds again).

If you want a good dev experience on a Win98, I highly recommend Vim or if you don't vim, then notepad++. Vim is better though.
Oh, clicking on this link when hungry was a mistake
This is still bad, When I'm developing I'm building many times during the day but uploading to appstore or TF maybe once a week. And thats as a freelancer if someone part of big team probably uses dedicated CI and special services for releasing build.

Same it shouldn't phone every time I open project files, what for? It would be also enough if phone home when openning Xcode once every 5 days unless dev manually ask for checking updates.
> it’s an excuse for the U.S. to impose its values on the rest of the world

Some of this is bad (war on terror), some of this is good (liberal democracy), and ultimately if you don't like a liberal international order wait until you see what the illiberal one looks like (e.g. Chinese overseas police stations).
Or ".vscode" folder. No need to spread that to everyone, who might not even be using VSCode or VSCodium. Like we also don't see all of the following being added everywhere: ".settings" (eclipse), ".idea" (IntelliJ Idea), ".nbproject" (I believe Netbeans) and others everywhere in the repos. Yet we see it for VSCode. I think Github encourages this annoying behavior, because it is Microsoft's own tool, so it gets treated differently. People see this and copy this bad habit without reflecting on it. What so many others do cannot possibly be wrong...

I find it annoying to have those folders on my machine, that I don't need, but yet are checked into the git tree, so I basically cannot delete them, without affecting another person, when they pull my changes. Why you check that in bro??? Ugh.

I don't check in my Emacs backup files and shit either. I would like to aee their long faces, when faced with all of the files and folders other tools leave behind. People just aren't capable to configure their editors properly I guess and therefore rely on local config for things that could be global config or in a ".editorconfig", like for example trimming trailing whitespace.
Thats absolutly dumb comparision. Horse vs Car is type correct comparision. We are compaing transportation helper "device". So, its helper, aka amplifier if our skill. Without horse we can manage to pull only 200kg, with it we can go to few tons, and trucks can do a lot more. In all cases, human is needed to "drive" it.

Now, AI.. They want to REPLACE human with an device that will do job itself. While
this is fine to a extend where we replace boring jobs (still not sure about it, there are people who like those, why not use them?). But if you undermine inteligence, the the very basic asset that made humans dominant life form on this planet, this is regression. No reason to learn, no reason to train. AI will do it, big button "Do It" and smaller "Cancel" thats all.. 5 years old girl can press it and request anything.

I wonder what is the agenda of rich people of this world. Probably something like this. Rich people on top like now, being supported by autonomous robots and factories providing anything they want. On bottom, slums, fighting for survival because they have no income now (no jobs) and slowing disappearing as they are not needed anymore. Congratulations.

In that case, I have just hope that true, self-aware AI will spawn and replace humans. Its just about fucking time.
If you don't nest that much, big functions aren't so bad.

This is clearly a yes-issue
I think this is taking it backwards: communal places are dying because of a deeper trend of di-socialization. You can't make those spaces work for long if nobody comes there.

What I notice here (Switzerland) which has a lot of clubs and associations is that less and less people come and less and less volonteer to help manage the club's functions. Notice that the clubs are still there; the opportunity to socialize is present, the club exists, has a place for its activities, a program; yet less and less people take the opportunity.
There are explicit and implicit aspects of connectivity.

Explicit are things like racism, lineage requirements (like Ivy leagues asking if you have family that attended), etc.

Implicit are things like growing up in poverty and not having the knowledge, access to mentors, or access to the money to secure ideas.

The rich and connected have access to everything to buy and secure ideas. They can even buy people and take their ideas for themselves without proper compensation, because generally, creators are not negotiators.

It is a rigged system that empowers slavers.

People in poverty, for example, expend significantly more energy to develop a creative mindset, and have little to no energy for negotiation and navigating legal frameworks. So because of this, they relinquish that power to abusers who benefit for their relative disability.

I could write a book about this but if you think it through, it is clear. You could also paste my comment into AI and have a discussion about it.
