The problem is that the core issue is the mind and these “peace” type arguments date back thousands of years, even in 340s AD in China’s Annals of Lu Buwei you find these same people not addressing their own minds and preaching “peace” or passivsem. The reality is if you bring up reasonable things they can do, such as not promoting egotism or having a materialistic views of everything which directly lead to a lack of what they feel is “peace”, it just goes over their head and they get angry. Again this is has been going on with these people for thousands of years now. So rather than some fake form of peace that doesn’t work, how about addressing the underlying causes of suffering for everyone instead and stop rejecting them?

Did they solve peace? AFAIK there have been wars since, and having grown up with these people I know first hand they’re anything but peaceful.

It’s just hypocritical anyway, just telling people to be peaceful doesn’t address the underlying causes at all and the same people aren’t “peaceful” in their personal live either. They’re confused and in fact reject any clear understandings of what actually causes peace to begin with.

If you’re black for example, you’re treated like you have a low score, yet you can’t do anything about it.

I think after Best Internet exited he likely did quite well, it’s possible he’s just doing DragonFly as a full time hobby. But I have no idea.

Every time I read about DragonFly I’m never quite sure what it can do that’s different than other OSes that makes it interesting. The best I can tell it’s just that some of the subsystems are different and it’s more of an experiment for under the hood OS features.

I’d agree, he’s quite insightful and a very creative engineer that is quite rare and few can match, sadly he also has a Gordon Gecko side too.

I would actually, because it sets a bar that if you’d like your book to be preserved then you need to make a choice, is your book so valuable that it should be free? If not, there’s plenty of other places for DRM books. What they’re doing instead is trying to have it both ways.

The whole project is about preserving information for current and future generations, so what place does limiting the availability of it have in history? It’s more likely it’ll just be lost due to DRM when no one can figure it out in the future. It’s the digital equivalent of losing the books, though due to someone being more concerned about their pocket book today than for future generations.

It’s amazing how little we understand about things right in front of our faces like this. These are essentially like wolf run kingdoms not that different than humans.

My other thought is how surprised their wolf scientist will be when they discover humans too have orginzed into territories like them. :)

Agreed as well, though there is also the case of communicating the high level flows to others that are not software experts so that everyone has a common understanding and doesn’t have to rely on a few key developers with the knowledge. Most smart folk who aren’t developers reason pretty well about architectures so you want them to be self sufficient too.

Agreed. It’s also that there needs to be cultural changes in many cases, short term views are ingrained in many cultures and pointing out a fault in someone’s culture isn’t something people are open to no matter how dire the consequences are.

Big retailers are dead set on not supporting their competition, valid reasoning or not, you won’t find them on AWS for that reason alone.

Azure’s main feature is that it’s not connected to Amazon retail and they’re committed to Windows. So their clients are often in it for the long haul good or bad, those who can switch do.

If you can link the fall of democracy to misinformation being spread on their platform, genocide and mob murders, yes I’d say not all tech companies are that bad.

Amazon has good developers, but the JVM is quite complex and the pool of people who can work on it is pretty rare, I wonder how well they’ll be able to maintain it on their own.

The Japanese carpenter has wisdom that allows him to to judge the right level of complexity vs simplicity. But the new generation of developers don’t have that, it’s just ordinary ignorance and is why someone was asking in the article.

Point being, if your computer isn’t doing the work then the human is, which has the most expensive compute cycles.

I can answer the question why switch if the limited online one is sufficient; it’s because the developer is working less efficiently and is unaware of the impact on productivity and code quality.

I’ve seen this many times, variable renamed done with text replace or by hand, inconsistent formatting and headers, silly bugs that an ide could catch as you type get committed, switching between screens to test their code constantly. Ignorance isn’t bliss, it’s just new developers aren’t getting the wisdom and expirence of the past and are repeating past mistakes instead of improving on the solutions.

Agreed, people have been going into solitary retreats for thousands of years, many require it to become enlightened. Not including these data points makes psychology more of an anthropology survey rather than hard science of the mind. There’s this assumption that they just can’t figure out what’s going on with their mind so make blanket statements based on confused hypothesis. Almost all of Asia would dissagre since their culturals have countless examples today and in the past that completely disagree with this point thus making it not a universal study of the mind but for a limited set of people in a specific culture.

One example, the leader of a state shouldn’t be doing anything since this biases their judgment, instead they should always rely on their ministers to be experts, and the fewer decisions one makes the more ideal the leader. It’s not just simple delegation that they’re talking about, it’s that at least on person has to have a clear view of the whole picture to make subtle adjustments, and if the leader is wrapped up in doing the work himself then it’s no longer possible. They have very strong words for leaders who do work themselves as being unfit and bluntly stupid. It certainly resonated for me as being completely correct, and adjusted my management style.

This is what I find fascinating about the annals of Lü Buwei (239bc Qin Dynasty), in that he brought together the best philosophers of the time to create a book of all the knowledge, arts, sciences, food, almanacs and state leadership for future generations. Some of his leadership advice I actually haven’t seen elsewhere and learned from. So exactly what he had in mind after over 2200 years ago.

I think the other thing one realizes with history is how much makes up the present, it’s part of our cultures today. We didn’t invent ideas of equality, women and animal rights, Aristotle references ancient states with these ideals — notably he mentions them as vulnerable to demagogues. Almond milk was used as a milk substitute in medieval French cooking since it’s easier to use. I feel we’re dismisive of previous generations and think of our selves as better when really nothing has changed outside of technology and our physical sciences.

There are essentially Airbnb hotels in Seattle too (e.g. JMFM+R8 Seattle, Washington), I wonder if they’re in violation as well.

They give out free remote shell accounts to a number of their mainframes actually, or if you go in person they encourage you to write code on the machines they have. It’s a “living” museum.

What I’ve found interesting is that there is a formal term “histrionic reoccurrence”, and amazingly an important writer on the subject is named G.W. Trompf.

It’s easier if you have one lookup key for a session, but often that’s not sufficient, consider the case of termination of a session by email address or by a session id. The other issue is you still have every service making high rates of network calls that require low latency since they’re often inline with the UX. So you’re relying more on a chain of IO between services which is nearly impossible to performance troubleshoot with today’s tooling.

Totally agree on the QA side, you need to see first hand what’s coming out of your team to understand where your team is at.

It’s largely irrelevant because the revocation bloom filters are cached on each service, and if the auth service is down then tokens can’t be revoked anyway so the list is still accurate enough.

TBH I don’t think the author of the article has expirenced the nightmare that is a hot session store at a large scale before, you end up with needing to troubleshoot IO latency issues with basically no tooling that can show you where the problem is and you’re up against the hardware limits and what ever black box your cloud provider has made. Where as with JWT everything happens in normal user space and can be reasonably reasoned about with a bit of complexity without razor thin latency deps on IO performance.

So your process is limited to the resources of a node right? And coordinating data between jobs is via a shared file system or network messaging between nodes?

You should visit other countries in the area and then you can see the difference in Singapore, it’s a pretty remarkable and unexpected achievement.
