PO: Hey we want to go to Mars
- 3 weeks of silence -
Developer: Hey I’m there, where are you?

Yea, I wasn’t saying it’s always bad in every scenario - but we used to have this kinda deployment in a professional company. It’s pretty bad if this is still how you’re doing it like this in an enterprise scenarios.

But for a personal project, it’s alrightish. But yea, there are easier setups. For example configuring an automated deployed from Github/Gitlab. You can check out other peoples’ deployment config, since all that stuff is part of the repos, in the .github folder. So probably all you have to do is find a project that’s similar to yours, like “static file upload for an sftp” - and copypaste the script to your own repo.

(for example: a script that publishes a website to github pages)

I suppose in the days of ‘Cloud Hosting’ a lot of people (hopefully) don’t just randomly upload new files (manually) on a server anymore.

Even if you still just use normal servers that behave like this, a better practice would be to have a build server that creates builds, like whenever you check code into the Main branch, it’ll create a deploy for the server, and you deploy it from there - instead of compiling locally, opening filezilla and doing an upload.

If you’re using ‘Cloud Hosting’ - for example AWS - If you use VMs or bare metal - you’d maybe create Elastic Beanstalk images and upload a new Application or Machine Image as a new version, and deploy that in a more managed way. Or if you’re using Docker, you just upload a new Docker image into a Docker registry and deploy those.

Hmm, well the first round(s) are doable for beginners. If you want to get into programming, these kinda games are a good way to start, since you’re getting visual feedback of what your bot is actually doing.

And you can participate in loads of languages, so you can pick anything that you’re somewhat familiar with.

However, once you’re getting into higher rounds, ranks, and leagues, you’ll be playing against other peoples’ bots. So obviously if you have 0 experience it’ll be way harder to beat people with loads of experience, that understand which algorithms are suitable etc.

But I’d say go ahead and try it out. Its free. Maybe it turns out to be too difficult, maybe you’ll manage.

Chaotic neutral: If you complain a lot and keep saying your ticket has high priority, you’ll automatically have lower priority than the guy that doesn’t really care when I do something

Defragging an SSD on a modern OS just runs a TRIM command. So probably when you wanted to shrink the windows partition, there was still a bunch of garbage data on the SSD that was “marked for deletion” but didn’t fully go through the entire delete cycle of the SSD.

So “windows being funky” was just it making you do a “defragmentation” for the purpose of trimming to prepare to partition it. But I don’t really see why they don’t just do a TRIM inside the partition process, instead of making you do it manually through defrag

If “build the server and client in the same language” is a hard requirement, I believe your only choice is JavaScript…

You can probably also use Java. And I’ve used dotnet / c# for it. You can build the server in ASP-core, and a desktop client in Avalonia, or a website in Blazor

I’m not completely sure which classes you’re talking about - but it sounds like the Business Process Layer

I would call them “services” but I’m looking for a less overloaded term. Maybe capabilities? Controllers?

“Controllers” (in dotnet at least) is usually reserved for the class that initially intakes the http request after middleware (auth, modelbinding etc)

It’s probably easier with a concrete example, so lets say the action is “Create User”

It depends on the rest of your architecture, but I usually start with a UserController - that takes all user related requests.

To make sure the Controller doesn’t get super big with logic, it sends it though mediatr to a CreateUserCommandHandler

But it’s a big vague which parts you’re asking about…

“there is a class of … classes/modules that does the needful.”.

Everything else you’ve described

“API resources, queue workers, repositories, clients” and serializers

Is “cross-cutting”, “Data Access Layer”, and “Service Agent Layer” maybe a bit “Anti-corruption Layer” - but there’s a lot of other things in between that “do the needful”

It would be easy for Google to remove the guardrails from WebAssembly in some sort of public testing version of Chromium

Google is not the authority on WASM, W3C is. Google diverging from the standards and removing any guardrails would result in “This page only works in Chrome” kinda bullshit we’ve seen before

It’s not a big red flag, but it indicates that the product is not fully open source. You can get the full community edition from Github, but for the Self-hosted Enterprise version you have to contact sales.

So all the Enterprise features are most likely closed source, and when you buy/license it, you’ll just get the compiled version. And since their Cloud hosting model has a “Per 1,000 sessions/mo” model, their Enterprise self hosted model might have that as well. So it’ll have some kinda DRM/License managing, and maybe a “call home” to check your license or usage every once in a while

Just wait until she learns child processes get aborted

No. I know this because a couple of times my license expired, and 30 days before it does you’ll just get a little warning in the IDE - or in tools like Resharper. After that it just stops working.

I remember this post like it was yesterday, and she didn’t have her shit together at all.
All she had was a Z-sphere dragon in ZBrush poorly photoshopped on top of a lumion render, and an overambitious idea

He’s already pointing out the problems himself:

The difference is that Spotify is a for-profit corporation. And they have to distribute profits to their stockholders before they pay the musicians. And as a result, the musicians complain that they’re not getting very much at all.

Yea, so at Spotify the profits are distributed “equally” - meaning Taylor Swift with 1 billion listens per month gets 99.9999% of the profits, [[Obscure metal band]] with 100 listens gets $0.001. However, if I only listened to [[Obscure metal band]] and nothing else, shouldn’t my entire $5.99/month go to [[Obscure metal band]]? And not be pooled with stuff I didn’t listen to?

How would this work with a “Post-Open software administrative organization”? Ubuntu has 1 billion installs, my [[Obscure open source library]] is used by a couple of companies, and it’s the only “Post-Open software” that those companies use - Do I get that 1 percent of their revenue? Or does administrative organization siphon it away, keep 0.1%, and send the other 0.9% to the top 10 “Post-Open Projects”…?

Companies would have to publish which “Post-Open software” software they’re using, and to what extend. For example, if Ubuntu would be Post-Open-software, it uses loads of inner projects and libraries, which again use more and more libraries, some might being Post-Open software. You’d have to create a whole financial dependency tree per company to determine how to distribute their revenue fairly

I manually redraw my service architecture because I can create higher quality documentation than when trying to auto-generate it.

But you can get a baseline depending on which Cloud you use. For example, in AWS you can use workload discovery - that generates a system overview.

Bonus (optional) question: Is there a way to handle schema updates? For example generate code from the documentation that triggers a CI build in affected repos to ensure it still works with the updates.

Yes, for example, if your build server exposes the API with an OpenAPI scheme, you can use the build server to generate a client library like a nuget or npn.

Then in the API consumer you can add a build step that checks if there are new version of the client library. Or setup dependabot that creates PRs to update those dependencies

I don’t know when it happened or if it was always like this

Well it happened when Unity changed their license to a money grab license that everyone hates. So now the meta is just fuck-everything-unity

It’s not really a rug-pull in the usual sense though - of “all of a sudden you cannot use this product anymore”

You can still use it up to the commit where they changed the license. And then people just make a fork from there and the community moves away from the initial project to the fork

The month before Dwarf Fortress was released on Steam (and Itch.io), the brothers Zach and Tarn Adams made $15,635 in revenue, mostly from donations for their 16-year freeware project. The month after the game’s commercial debut, they made $7,230,123

So about $16k on a 16-year project = $1k a year. He seems to be doing well after the paid release. So not really a success of “free software”

Well TAI stands for International Atomic Time and “international” generally pertains to Earth-bound locations.

Coordinated Universal Time sounds like it has a bigger inclusivity scope

Otherwise we’d have to rename TAI to “Intergalactic Atomic Time”
