Not being too familiar with US pension schemes, could you elaborate why you expect to end up paying for this personally? Aren't your private pension savings comparable to other private assets?
Nope, read on, GIF was supported from day one: http://1997.webhistory.org/www.lists/www-talk.1993q1/0257.ht...

"Back to the inlined image thread again -- I'm getting
close to releasing Mosaic v0.10, which will support
inlined GIF and XBM images/bitmaps, as mentioned
previously."

-- Marc Andreessen (Fri, 12 Mar 93)

XBM file support had been removed in Internet Explorer 6 (IE 1-6 is based on Mosaic code, see IE6 about dialog): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBM
I think it's typical for people to divide other people into two categories. The ones who function just like me, and enemies who are nothing like me.

You find that phenomena in surprising places. I'd claim that nobody is completely immune.
"Modern medicine" contains a model that includes both criteria for too little and too much vitamin C, but that's not the model that was being referenced.

The point was that the cited model, "scurvy symptoms => too little vitamin C", is useful (in some situations, very useful, if you aren't in possession of a better model with which this one would agree) while being in violation of the maxim given upstream.

I think a much stronger rule - which wouldn't deserve the same catchy name - is that your model should at least be able to say "X is not to low".

Corporations do not like Linus. they like the work he did, but if they could replace him with, say, Greg Kroah-Hartman, or Ted T'so, they would do so in a heartbeat. Until then, they can preach the narrative that Linus is hurting linux because he rants.

Once he retires or dies, they'll say "thank goodness he's gone!", and you'll see the kernel code quality (and security) take a nosedive.

So now you see why the social justice warriors are getting so much press: their opinions align with the interests of people wishing to taint the linux kernel.

Red Hat is by far the most successful open source company and will be the first to reach $2bn in annual revenues (it's on $1.9bn ttm). It's also very profitable -- it made $180m in its last financial year -- though presumably some of that comes from JBoss.

It seems to be by far the most popular version used by governments and large corporations.

"We're an enterprise software company. You're either consumer or enterprise. We're enterprise."
It is huge in embedded platforms. Many manufacturers have migrated from Embedded Windows to "hardened Linux" which is usually RHEL.
Ahh yea that makes a lot more sense
I'm sorry to hear of this. I was impressed by his company.

I had seen and heard about Gateway 2000 computers before but my first experience with one came in 1998. I was working part time in a computer shop and they had a room full of old dead computers. I got the OK from the boss to take some scrap parts to build something for myself. I selected an old Gateway 2000 486 and brought it back to life and that was the machine that I used to learn about Linux.

I was impressed at how much different(better) it was compared to the Packard Bell and Compaq computers that seemed to be everywhere at the time.

I botched an attempt at a BIOS upgrade and bricked the machine. Gateway had extensive documentation and utilities available on their website. I found that there was a recovery jumper and a recovery floppy image. I downloaded the image, wrote it to floppy, set the jumper and restored the BIOS.

I was a fan of Gateway 2000 from that day forward.
Yeah, we're barely out of the secretaries revolt, and now this.
You can lift that argument to the next level:
Why do you get hurt about someone exercising his right to speak when he criticizes that you're exercising your right to speak to criticize someone who exercises his right to speak?

And then to the next level. And the next. Ad infinitum.

It's totally unproductive.
You can become an RN by graduating from a community college.
Yeah I imagine professionally (as a developer) my English language wouldn't be a major hurdle in many of these countries.

I think that I would have some problems socially though. Naviagting my way around the country, buying goods and just trying to talk to people would pose more of a problem.
The US has its own nationally administered pension scheme called "Social Security". The problem is that the amount that is pays is so small that anyone who wants to live better than a near-poverty-level lifestyle in retirement needs a private supplement.
To me, while D fixes many warts of C++, D is still too similar to C++ to justify the change. It still has implicit numeric cast, exception unsafety and strange behaviors.[1]

In addition, the D authors are generally opposed to disciplined approaches, e.g. type classes, region-based memory management, which are being added to C++. Especially regarding the former, while "design by introspection" may have its merits (Andrei Alexandrescu's presentation on allocator is worth watching[2]), I think many still prefer explicit interfaces over implicit ones, so I don't see D take off in the near future, at least until the wanted features are added to the language.

To call America a democracy today is not accurate; the public's actions have no sway on policy relative to the sway that the moneyed elites hold. This phenomenon has been documented by a number of studies. Capitalist oligarchy is the correct term to refer to the system of government of the US. The public is disgruntled about the perceived change from democracy to this new despotic system.

Class warfare against the rich is now a concept because most of the country lost the last round of class warfare around the time the economic depression started, in which the rich got far richer while everyone else got poorer. Whether this is a great struggle for rights or not is unclear, but based off of the last Gilded Age, it will be glossed over in the history books such that people do not understand that change can be effected under certain circumstances.

We have a bevy of great causes, but for the most part, our empowerment to affect changes in service of those causes has been nullified. We are disenfranchised, and disgruntled. That we live in relative comfort is no relief; we feel excluded from the making of our own society, and it is a serious problem. This exclusion needs to change first before the other issues can be pursued. The last time there was such a disenfranchisement of public power in the US, a world war caused it to fall out of attention.

"So why were you wrong in your estimate?" or even worse, now your estimates gets discounted next time. And the same holds true if it happens the other way round.
Isn't it? There's a history of con games (in both directions) in the VC world. It seems intuitive to me that it's easier for a "king" company to stay more focused on product and customers, and less on growth - sooner or later, if you're determined to grow at all costs, you'll have to decide to do something that hurts your customers, your team, your soul, in order to chase that growth.

I mean, this isn't proof or anything. But there seems to be some intuitive truth to DHH's position.
The kids in college don't make the big decisions on how the economy works, so these types of liberal guilt speeches always seemed hollow to me. Sure, maybe someday, but at that point market forces will be calling the shots, not personal preference or pet political activism. If it wasn't for automation, modernity, etc would Mr Professor even have a job? Before various cost savings techniques of the past 40 years, the amount of people who went to college were a much smaller percentage than the amount today. You can't have these enrollment numbers with tiny classrooms and each professor having his own secretary. It just doesn't scale.

Its amusing to think that some people think of themselves as above the economic fray. Sorry, but we're all in this together.
so once trucks become automated that number should go down, similar how to automation undid the need for multiple secretaries?

Why was this expected? Care to explain to someone who isn't around BTC?
I think a lot of people really do believe their own non-sense. It's easier to lie when one honestly believes the falsehood. Consider that the same instincts that drive partisan politics are the same instincts that drive spectator sports. Are the fans cheering because of a conscious awareness of political strategy? Or are they cheering because -- gosh darnit -- being on a team is fun. Do you think the children in the Robbers Cave Experiment were masterminds of political intrigue? Or do you think the conflict arose out of instinct. That the strategy happens to turn out super-rational in the field is orthogonal to the question of whether their beliefs bubble up to a level of conscious awareness.

I've met people who honestly have made the "dey must be evil" maneuver. My experience says the sentiment is genuine.

I take the 'constant railing' as you call it as more of a reminder that there is a choice - 99% of the voices you hear in this world only talk about the VC backed method so the other 1% of voices tend to have to speak a little louder.
True, it shows a prompt specified by the user at registration ... presumably that might be to establish trust? (it's been a long time since i registered mine & can't remember off hand) ... if so that's probably security theatre

I think the reset process requires postcode & DOB (in the UK anyway) which would high a good probability of being available in the data-dump type scenario.
This is a blaming statement. Trust comes in all shapes and sizes, and includes information from individuals who don't trust each other sharing what they know about a given object or system. Trusting someone else's information is done on an individual basis, unless there is a decent consensus mechanism in place (Rai Stones for example).

If you don't trust what csomar is saying, then you should just say that instead of saying they are lying AND doing it for X reasons. Otherwise, you are just coming across as illogical in your arguments.

I would also point out that blockchain technologies implement a particular type of trust. Bitcoin's blockchain trust delivers an identity mechanism (note I did not say it doesn't allow pseudo anonymous identity), a way to track a value for exchange between identities, and a means to deliver a standard format of information exchange comprised of contract via script, transaction with identities and op_return codes.

That you are here doubting a known trust mechanism through a biased statement, and based on its momentary exchange value to a fiat currency, makes me not trust you as well.
Yeah, I am 100% ashamed to be American, but most of that stems from the (violent, brutal, inconsistent) way the US treats the rest of the world. Sure, the empire treats its own citizens poorly as the pillaged wealth is sent to the fat cats, but that's their own fault for not demanding more.
I think that would make the link much less fun!
Well, everyone is speaking about what they have encountered. But I see your point. Companies should look ahead to when they reach a bigger scale.
What you call opinion I call active decision making, and while Gross hasn't "predicted" well, neither has the Federal Reserve, thus they are equivalent, practically speaking, in their efficacy.

>Over a million people used food banks in the UK last year.

~1.6% of the UK's ~60M population, seems to fit 'most everyone' even if those FB users didn't get three squares for themselves and their family, which thanks to the work of the food banks, they do.

Apropos the parent's point, the food banks exist. Which means that you live in a society that values you so highly that it will step in to protect you even when the universal welfare system that is supposed to look after you fails to do so and you slip through the cracks.

You are therefore one of the luckiest people on the planet.

Meta : Incidentally, that 'over a million' figure is only from Trussell Trust, there are other food banks around the UK that do not operate under their umbrella, and as for 'the main reason', meh, certainly the largest single reason reported by users at a shade under 30% which means that 70% of food bank use is for other reasons (though this includes 13% 'benefit changes').

Trussell Trust's reported stats can be found here http://www.trusselltrust.org/stats
I think performance is still an issue today. We have orders of magnitude faster hardware as you say but the software is still slow as molasses.

The C99 specification is much more interesting than the K&R C of yore. And it still gives the programmer a close mapping between language and target hardware platform.

Pharo is super-awesome to work with and play in. However I won't be writing large simulations or ray tracing rendering systems in it any time soon. I'll have to wait another couple of decades before that becomes feasible.

Fortunately the FFI API in Pharo let you hook into C code fairly easily.
Where the hell is the flight to gold and bonds then?

Something else is going on. Gold is still at $1,120ish USD. There is no flight to safety.
The speed of light in a vacuum is constant in all reference frames, but a photon's frequency is not constant in all reference frames, so it's momentum (hf/c) is not constant.

This is bog-standard special relativity.
Regulatory compliance in various fields stipulates that you have defined responsibilities and support accountability. The net value here is that a vendor like Red Hat is already deployed at companies who comply to the same regulations, so we can all share and leverage best practice documents to satisfy those controls. Even if you had a team of 10 smart Linux engineers, you save time and money by leveraging Red Hat.

In addition, you may also need patent indemnification and reliable security updates (we leaned on Red Hat heavily during ShellShock and others). For example, before I release a Linux image I have a checklist of 450+ items, including things like NIST certification. Red Hat streamlines this process as it has already been certified across the most strenuous of regulatory and compliance environments, and we can reuse much of that work.

This isn't important for a clothing website startup for example, but for aircraft, CT scanners, anything ISO compliant, finance it is paramount to what is being delivered.
Yes. A glut of resources orbiting the pinnacles of society, and everyone else must cut back to make the numbers work for those elites, to their direct tangible detriment.

People find themselves drawn to the unlikely startup success stories because they have a beautiful allure to them: if I spend every night tucked away writing code and focusing my entire life around my work, then maybe I, too, can be the next Zuckerburg!

Even though this narrative is hugely removed from the realities of startup life (most college startups go nowhere, the most successful founders tend to be in their middle age with significant financial stability, etc), it is still romanticized by founders and startup employees and other people who really should know better. So then why do they buy it?

To get people to work harder for you. Spending every waking moment in front of a customer or a computer screen eating bulk ramen sounds like a great montage scene in the movie you'll have an EP credit in, and this distorted reality is even easier to sell to impressionable young college grads who have maybe .1% of the equity (in options!) that founders and VCs get to keep.

Why are jeans and hoodies the fashion choice of founders? Because if everyone is used to dressing like a poor college student, they tend not to notice how little they're truly being compensated.

This isn't some big founder/VC conspiracy, it's complicit common sense.

I read the adjective "epic" as flattering/celebrating. In use its somewhat similar to "awesome" in North American English.

I'm not clear if the author is from the UK or something, though.
1) The disappearance of factory jobs has less to do with "overseas flight" and far more to do with automation. In years past, even a small manufacturer would have one machine operator per machine. These days a single CNC machine can outperform a roomful of manual machines and only require a single operator.

2) Living in MN, I was surprised by truck driver being on top since I only know one actual OTR driver. However, this is a very agricultural state, and I suspect that the majority those truck drivers are farmers who make most of their money driving trucks commercially. A lot of farmers need a CDL by necessity.

>Ah, so we are now officially more unequal than during the gilded age

Unequal with whom ? You are considerably less unequal with millions of people who a decade or two ago were desperately scratching their survival out of subsistence farming.

Some people would call that a win. YMMV.
Accident of history or not, retirement and health benefits offered through employers have been how such systems are funded in the US.

The total value of the system is on the order of $18 trillion dollars, slightly more than the ~$15 trillion annual GDP.
https://www.ici.org/pressroom/news/ret_10_q4

Too, employees have far more at stake, and far less negotiating power, than employees, a fact quite openly recognised in Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations (Book 1, Chapter 8: https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Nations/Book_...)

There's further a great deal of other infrastructure which reinforces the existing system, from tax and other laws based on employer-provided benefits (including substantial advantages to both employers and employees participating in such plans), and of the services industries built around these (it's far more economical, and actuarially defensible, to deal with groups of people, particularly large aggregates, than one-on-one).

Which means that:

1. You cannot simply turn this ship on a dime. It's quite literally larger than the economy.

2. Changes to present employee benefits represents a material change in compensation and risk profile to those employees, for which they're poorly equipped to either address or organise against.
Sounds like a great time to me.

Azure has been mostly Linux Applications for a while now. Whenever Enterprise wants a contract they almost exclusively think Red Hat. So this makes sense for both of them to team up.I also don't see any fallout in the community because of this.

Since Ubuntu ruling the cloud instances this also makes sense for Red Hat.
Hah, you mean the unemployment insurance that has all sorts of loopholes that employers will use to prevent you from being able to claim it?

You mean the welfare which expires under certain circumstances? The food stamps that got cut during the last budget? The nutrition programs that pay for slop lunches at school?

Medicaid, which still doesn't prevent people from going bankrupt from medical fees?

Red Hat could have been one of the first Linuxes on Azure, if it had wanted. But back in 2013, it said: "Red Hat CEO: We don't need Microsoft to succeed"
