I see thanks

Abandon is different from deleting everything.

Ofc, git is distributed, so someone should have a copy of the repo, even if it's not updated.

Edit: disregard post, apparently it's just moved to the personal account.

But you see, it's because of the environment that that it's not as economical viable.

Green sources are becoming more and more cost effective because of lots of tax money went into them because people care about the environment.

Eventually there shall be plenty of more green alternatives that are more economically interesting than coal, but they only reached that place in refinement because environmental focused measures took place.

problem is color.

An e-ink is enough to program on emacs all day, but color highlights is a missing feature.

Maybe when patents expire, the tech will improve faster allowing for acessible color ones.

increases your odds of success,

Exactly. Odds.

Both Fortune and misfortune can happen in the middle. This doesn't mean to stop practicing/learning/improving, it's just life. Be aware of these things, and look for opportunities. Also, remenber that because of this, some very skillful person might be underperforming just because of a bad day, be nice to them.

Thanks!

Is there a non-paywalled version of [1] ?

Ofc CEO sending messages at bad hours to workers and denying vacation times is nothing.

What a work culture.

you should always do regular checkups. New years is a good reminder that you haven't got your check-up this year.

Things like pipeline definitions and helm charts are generators.

but swarm mode is now part of "regular docker"

There are declarative general purpose programing languages.

That data you are talking about does need to be debugged, like Helm charts and pipeline definitions. Sure data is better, but config is code, not data.

Tooling. Data transformation. Libraries.

Emacs is configured using Lisp. Because of that it is amazingly configurable. XMonad uses Haskell, which gives types to avoid lots of error cases.

The thing is providing an actually programming language doesn't remove anything specially if the same config can be written as cleanly.

And you would avoid "YAML templates for creating YAML", when you actually need to process some data (even if it's just for pre/suffix creation in names). Secrets retrieval is another thing that you also need to do and template.

Also, YAML is a terrible to parse language, with can give out weird error cases. Other languages compilers/interpreters are more mature.

And ofc, if you provide SDKs for your IaC tool, you should be able to use the language that your developers are more familiar with. Taking advantage of the good practices their are used to. Don't limit with "declarative languages". Use a programing language that make more sense, and leave data languages for data.

There are plenty of declarative programming language families. Lisps, MLs, SQLs. Configuration is code. Use a programming language.

Thank god trends like Pulumi and the new AWS sdk is emerging.

General purpose programing languages are getting more expressive by the day, why do we use data serialization languages instead for configs? it doesn't make any sense.

Configuration is code not data.

Well, the fear he was talking about is just using Napster as an example. This piracy still exists, and as he said, the tech improved so much that you can easily illegally share an album.

What actually stopped wide-spread music piracy, was easy to use legal solutions like Spotify.

It's as Gabe Newel said, to fight piracy, just provide a better service.

Well, if your own policies are in accord with the government, you don't need to wait for it to request a takedown.

Google has the power to hide negative press

runit also takes care of all that and it is much simpler.

Signal has always focused on functionality that would get them the most users with the least amount of effort.

But that is extremely important for a messaging app.

It's irrelevant how secure it is if nobody is using it. Unless you are into just talking to yourself.

Signal keeps on upgrading its security feature as well, they are not being left behind, and until quite recently, they didn't really had enough devs.

I agree with the first paragraph, not with the second, specially this:

Biking is for childless yuppies and people in third world countries

In well maintained cities you have metro everywhere. There are many european places where biking is not only the fastest way to work but the most comfortable. Also, lot's of trains allow you to put you bike in. In my dailly commute I see plenty of people doing just that, biking to train and then to work. A monthly pass that costs 30€ usually it's equivalent of 200€ expenses with cars (tolls and parking and fuel), not to mention the stress of dealing with the chaotic traffic that you can avoid with the train.

Children are not a big factor when your area has transport for children.

That is a "keep users paying feature". If you watch netflix a lot, there is a slimmer chance of cancellation.

He said it a bit different "it's no big deal not only because everyone else is doing it but also because the referred company is one that does it the less."

incarceration because war of drugs is fundamentally different from incarceration because I don't like my dear leader.

Hardware gets outdated and needs replacing

Irrelevant. Low traffic static website.

at which point you cannot postpone the kernel update anymore because you need the new device drivers, etc. etc

Irrelevant as I didn't upgrade the hardware

You also don't want to stop updating your HTTP server, CVEs get discovered quite frequently

it's a server for serving a single static page from 1998, nothing bad will happen if that machine is compromised, well, nothing worse that what could be done for not having HTTPs

At least EU is advancing with the requirement for domestic big electronics to have 10year warranty.

Backend kotlin is growing fast, not as much as android, but it is growing. You can notice big frameworks all adding kotlin niceties.

Why not just use sealed classes for your given use-case rather than a generic result? If you want to do generic why not go full Either?

before 20th century marketing woman would spend the whole day preparing food. And you couldn't really have a decent way of owning a home.

I believe they turn into those cesspools because only people that feel outside of mainstream networks due to bans and stuff, end up there.

It would be a different scenario if it was the big network that supported free speech instead of a new ban reactionary network
