Aside: Is titus still being developed?

GitHub repo says it was archived 2 years ago: https://github.com/Netflix/titus

A bit miffed that there was no mention of L4S though.

Prior HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38597744

Even trying L4S is rather problematic still these days. All the support for it - from the AQMs to the transports - live out of tree in an increasing ancient 5.15 release. Where cake has been shipping for nearly 10 years in some form or another. I would like that group to get on the stick on submitting it upstream, because there are some code quality problems there that they should fix (notably GRO issues), much less the algorithmic issues that I have also pointed out!

My biggest gripe about that project is that everyone focuses on the ECN change, and nobody looks at the effects on normal everyday traffic, where fq_codel or cake utterly smoke the dual-pi AQM. There actually is L4S support in fq_codel now, but they are not testing it. :(

AWS, like every company, is really the culture+ managers.

Some managers can deflect the culture enough for you to feel "loved".

Others can't. They embody the culture. The AWS culture really is that ruthless.

How odd. I have, and continue, to use Signal without auto-update enabled.

I have been prompted, twice in three years to update though.

Perhaps the requirement depends on your country?

Ya, does it do that thing banking apps do where it insists on the most recent version in order to even be usable?

Otherwise, thats more of an iOS option that can be easily altered

Your comment does not highlight anything which indicates that Australians blindly follow the rules.

I'm Australian, currently live in Sydney and I feel as you do, but none of your examples explain your claim.

No, I don't have time to list the ways Australians follow rules (more so that Germans), it is 1:15am, and I'm going to bed.

fair 'nuf. I'd love to hear your opinion on it - take up my point or the opposite - whenever you have the time. I would say "no offense" but I think I've offended basically everyone on earth now in this thread.

Nothing’s perfect but I’ve enjoyed this thread, lots of decency and interesting anecdotes. Thanks for your contributions.

See https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/45830 for the fallout.

GitHub upgrades git, decides to "clarify" source archive policy, which breaks Homebrew, bazel, etc.

I'm Australian and have the direct counter experience. Most of the business I've worked for consider Slack as ephermal.

Email is for significant communications.

Outside of work, I'm using daily for things like booking bands, talking to strata, etc.

While email in a lot of large companies might tend to be becoming a one-way distribution system; it is still vibrant and heavily used in smaller enterprises.
