I'm pretty sure it isn't.

I actually proposed a cooldown for apt-get in my PhD thesis in 2013 and calculated its impact. Because the meta-data for the Ubuntu apt repository can be completely downloaded you can simulate the impact of a cooldown on how many less packages would be installed and it isn't zero.

There are always people in a community running beta version, or up to date versions. There will be less with a cool down, but then depending on how critical your system is you could adjust cooldown length

I volunteer at a weekly event where we consistently have over 400 people show up, and every week it is a struggle to get 20 necessary volunteers to run it.

When you ask, you do get volunteers, but there are a few awesome people who volunteer every week and love it. The event would absolutely be impossible without them.

Thank you to every person who volunteers, especially if you do it without asking.

I have seen this as the GoTH stack, Go Templ Htmx. Add sqlc to that gor GoTHs or GHosT stack. Love this combo, once you buy into "go generate ./..." as a build step you get so much.

I also add goverter for converting between sqlc models and template objects and return values. Like 50% of the boilerplate is generated and it makes type safety so nice

I thought this would be a flutter post. Love flutter, ... , well I like flutter compared to Kotlin and Swift

I think people have read so much corporate PR posts they think that is a rule of how to post online.

This post is his personal blog, he is a human writing what he thinks.

If this was a tweet people would be fine with it, but it is a blog so he should make it corporate-y

Like Linus?

I don't think you are using that right. Saying someone is bringing a bad vibe to your project, as the point he has a bad vibe is just stating the conclusion.

Like if someone calls you a bad programmer and doesn't hire you as a programmer, isn't ad hominem

"This item is not available in your region" :(

"The question was never whether this would involve costs"

Brexit was sold as being positive for the economy. The proponents drove a bus around saying they would get 350 million back. It was largely advertised as a net positive for the economy

Would it be fair to say that because the US Navy is not running it as a for-profit power generation that would help. Like every accident seems to be a list of cost saving shortcuts being responsible

There must have been so much unseen behavior when there were millions more whales in the ocean. Here's hoping that we can see more

Some of these laws are like Gravity, inevitable things you can fight but will always exist e.g. increasing complexity. Some of them are laws that if you break people will yell at you or at least respect you less, e.g. leave it cleaner than when you found it.

If AI could reliably write good code then you shouldn't need to even commit the code as the general rule is you shouldn't commit generated code. Commit the session when you don't need to commit the code

I had an old MacMini I hadn't plugged in since 2014-ish and I tried to boot it this year and it refused to boot, and refused to update.

It now runs Ubuntu. Good little machine

Autocorrect is balls. I have a friend in my contacts, and when I type her name it sometimes autocorrects to "leaving".

"Wait 6 months" has been the call for 3-4 years now. You can't eulogize a profession that hasn't been killed, that's just mean.

Won't people just use AI to define specification? Like if they are getting most of it done with AI, won't they won't read/test the code to verify won't they also not read the spec

Social media is cigarettes. There are lots of studies showing the negative impacts to say that limiting their reach is probably good for society and individuals.

Just about all arguments against this are the same arguments that would stop governments limiting booze or tabaco

My main advice for engineers is to write a blog. It isn't for anyone else it is to organize your thoughts. But should be presented in a way others can learn from. For a year I published every Tuesday morning, and that schedule made me learn so much so fast.

I once worked with a library that had such a deep inheritance tree, only for ontological purposes, that I was always confused as to where anything was actually implemented. I decided to squash the layers and found almost every method was overrode two or three times.

That was the project that I turned against inheritance, it was 2009, project was written in Java 1.4

Yes, everyone on insurance should be young and healthy. Fuck those sick people /s

The longest test cricket match lasted 11days and was called off because one team had to catch a boat home

FUSE is such a cool idea but every application always suffers performance problems when stressed. I tried LiteFS and it worked, but litestream was awesome.

This is the correct map, but New Zealand should be in the center as we are middle earth

What a weird "what about"ism.

It is hard because they might be teaching global warming, or biology realities like intersex people exiting, or slavery was bad and it happened in the US, is seen as political by the some who are arguing to keep politics out of the classroom.

Thin phone, giant screen. How bout thick phone, tiny screen. Call it iPhone Earth

My son uses an android phone as a medical device with apps that are either downloaded or compiled. Hopefully this won't touch lineageOs

I write about something similar a while back https://maori.geek.nz/proof-of-human-2ee5b9a3fa28

About the difficulty of proving you are human especially when every test built has so much incentive to be broken. I don't think it will be solved, or could ever be solved.
