“Giving away your work for one and all to come and take is, ultimately, unsustainable.“

I don’t think this statement is accurate as there are decades old projects (linux/gnu, apache) to dispute your claim. I think this is possible because software actually is possible where a few individuals can have great reach with part time or employer funded time. And also because companies can benefit by funding and releasing activities that aren’t core to their business as either advertising or inclination by developers to be altruistic or other reasons (MSCode, Google stuff, etc).

While in the same time frame inflation has been well above 1% per year all the time.
> Firstly you you are still assuming the same gross exaggeration of novelty

I disagree. Even when you're doing mundane everyday stuff you have done a thousand times before, one trivial variation may throw of your estimate completely. Maybe an edge-case in this specific project triggers a bug in a 3rd party's library, and you're losing weeks waiting for the 3rd party to roll out the fix (been there, done that). You just don't know in advance

> you can do analysis and planning at a much higher level of abstraction than development

Of course, but then you'll get an inaccurate estimate.

> Waterfall gave the impression that planning and analysis is costly by insisting it should be carried down to the lowest levels of abstraction

That's only necessary if you want an accurate estimate. I think accurate estimates are pipe dreams.
Then go ahead and allow the companies to use your data. No one stops you. And leave the rest of us alone.

That's a very vague anecdote. If someone affected by mental illness is prepared to harm themselves or others in the process, including "mass shooters", then police being prepared to respond in a way that minimizes overall harm may be appropriate. Saying it "played a role" in 25% of a number of killings, could easily include a set of completely unrelated types of situations and mental illnesses. It also doesn't begin to describe how many lives may have been saved in each of those situations, or countless others that didn't involve "killings". Finally, do you have any idea how many deaths, people we can reasonably call "terrorists", are responsible for throughout the world? Including conflicts throughout the middle east with nearly daily bombings? Or are you only counting a few high-profile incidents in the United States?
Not the OP but maybe because they wrote it in what they know and actually shipped.
I have studied Latin at the university level and also some Greek, especially from the historical linguistic point of view.

I truly understand that the ancient pronunciation sounds bad to your ears! All those "mistakes" that you mentioned are exactly the ways that Greek pronunciation has changed over the thousands (!) of years. If you look closely, it is as if the writing system is made for the old language, which is the case. The modern pronunciation drifts further apart from what is written. Historical linguistics is quite interesting once you get into it.

I recommend the following books, although both quite technical in the linguistic sense:

Allen,
Vox Graeca: The Pronunciation of Classical Greek 3rd Edition
(Cambridge University Press 1987)

Horrocks, Greek: A History of the Language and its Speakers, 2nd Edition (Wiley-Blackwell 2010)

Are there more Android devices that actually have hardware that can actually play high end games decently? The average Android phone is a low end phone - with an average selling price of $225 for all Android phones how can they not be?
This sums up my experience. I've made some positive personal changes and also gotten a better grip on what I want out of life and why. Unfortunately it's so intertwined with larger drug culture, possibly due to its rise in the 60s music scene, and many users and critics see it as just that. But for me, it's a powerful tool for deep thought and introspection that is hard to achieve otherwise.
I estimate it takes 20 mins to buy an ice cream in Japan. If it takes "half a day" that's (charitably) 12x (8-hour days), or (uncharitably) 24x (16-hour days).

I know that Apple is commercial organisation and not a charity but projects like Blender bring a lot to the platform.

It would be great to find out later that Apple had reached out to the Blender dev team with a strategy on how to move to either Metal or a Vulcan/Metal adaptor.

Personally I was thinking about getting an eGPU just for Blender use. It would be a shame to have to leave macOS just to run Blender.

I've contributed some code to Phabricator, happy to answer any questions about why that code is so bad.

Phabricator is primarily aimed at teams with multiple approximately-full-time engineers working on projects together, and focuses more on scaling up to thousands of engineers than scaling down to personal projects. It may be a poor fit for your needs if you're looking to move very small projects away from GitHub following the acquisition by Microsoft.
Why hasn't this taken up pace though? I am pretty sure I read about immersive cooling at least 4 -5 years ago. And 3M had some new "liquid" shown 1 - 2 years ago. Given the scale of which now Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple operate, surely they should be the first one to adopt?

Edit:

Looks like I asked the question a while ago. From Anandtech and Servethehome:

10 years ago, liquid had a thermal limit. Now it is around 5x that old limit. Problem is cost ($$$/gallon of the liquid) and installation. Has to be marketed on TCO. Also, issues with submerged fiber connections

2U air cooling can reliably handle 8x 200w+ TDP CPUs, 600w of NVMe, plus RAM and add-in cards. 4U designs can handle 6kW of cooling on air. Liquid may be more efficient, and more data centers are being built for it, but air is easy to deploy.
I sincerely believe that with a little shoe polish, a little more sincere effort into information retrieval mathematics, and better marketing, DuckDuckGo would be a superior search product.

Currently I use DuckDuckGo for probably 85% of searches. There are specific search cases that don’t work well, and specific types of automatic categorization and presentation (e.g. sports scores, rich location data) that Google is well ahead on.

But in many mundane searches, the result quality is indistinguishable and the lack of personalized tracking would break any ties strongly in DuckDuckGo’s favor, so strongly that it’s obviously worth it to split searches between two different engines on a case by case basis.

And in fact, I like some things about DuckDuckGo better, particularly I like the visual experience of its Open Street Maps results better. It’s not as information rich as a Google Maps result, but Google Maps is visually too cluttered and often suffers performance issues that a lower-tech maps service doesn’t. (DuckDuckGo also lets you select from a few choices for the maps backend, including Google Maps).

Don’t get me wrong: I’m sure Google will remain far ahead as the search product leader.

I only mean that in terms of the implementation and actual user experience, DuckDuckGo doesn’t have far to go before it would be entirely a substitute product that completely replaces an average search experience on Google.

(I’m speaking as someone who had worked on all types of personalization features for an Alexa top 400 site’s product search engine — so I have a lot of work experience informing my opinion that the actual distance, in terms of the investment to reproduce feature parity, between DuckDuckGo and Google is not that high.)

Google’s original efforts to create internet search were amazing. But now the underlying search tech is totally a commodity, including most of the fancier machine learning and information retrieval features. It’s why they have to integrate advertising so tightly to it. Search features alone don’t differentiate it as a product anymore.

I do hope a service like DuckDuckGo invests in that last 10% of the squirrly little extra features it needs to provide to seriously compete for overall market share.
We moved from Gitlab to Phab a year ago.

Context:

- One of the main repo is a monorepo in Git with over 40~ services

- We have a lot of smaller repos that are outdated or depreciated.

- We have an extensive pipeline that builds Docker images using Google Cloud Container Builder

Here's the pros:

- Speed. Gitlab is so slow; it's actually one of the main reasons why we moved out of it.

- Phabricator's Maniphest > Gitlab Issues by a long shot

- We prefer patch-based workflow. It makes Git history pretty.

- Code review is so much better in Phabricator, again, by a long shot. It's faster and the experience is a lot better.

- Herald (if-this-then-that for source code) is the bomb. We have a big list of rules, example: detecting `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` in our frontend service and adding blocking reviewers.

- Git management is pretty dope, setting it up so that it mirrors somewhere else is pretty easy. In our case, we just made it so that it mirrors to Google Cloud Repository (for GCCB to work)

- Cluster mode is included, which is useful because we're setting up a mirror Phab Repo in Russia for our team there
- Meme editor makes things more fun (but its kinda shitty that it doesn't accept GIF =\)
- The dashboard editor is very powerful and useful.
- We had teams using SVN and teams using HG. Phab supports them all. That's pretty cool.

Here's the cons:

- Harbormaster, the CI, is the worst. It's seriously super complicated and not powerful at all.

- To replace Gitlab CI, we moved to Buildkite since there's an integration with Phab. Buildkite is a lot more powerful than Gitlab CI, and the syntax is similar.

- The concept of "staging" repo is super confusing.

- Setting up "merge" from the UI is very complicated and buggy
>The thing I find so disconcerting is just how little expertise seems to be present in the legislative space around tech in Australia

There is expertise. Our Prime Minister knows tech, Turnbull is a millionaire from seeing the potential of the internet in the 90s and heavily invested in an ISP and took on role of chairman. Half a decade later he'd turned 500k into $50 million when Ozemail was acquired.

The policies aren't because of incompetence, they're actively malicious against the publics best interest in favour of the elite set to make bank.
Yea, it's great that housing and healthcare have only grown by 1% per year in costs since 2000 as well.

Hah, Phabricator is what I point to when people say "it's impossible to write good software in PHP".

A Friendly Introduction to Cross-Entropy Loss (2016)
Google has created a hardened KVM that it is using. So the GNU/Linux instruction run native on the processor but just sandboxed from the Linux kernel used by ChromeOS.

Then they use containers between the GNU/Linux applications.

This is different than how they did Android. Android is done using the same kernel as ChromeOS and using containers. But it is locked so can be secure.

Google implementation of GNU/Linux is going to be far more secure.

But all of this is hidden from the user. From the UI standpoint the user has no idea what is happening under the covers. You install a GNU/Linux application and it is added to the app drawer like an Android app or anything else.
Yet, their business model doesn't rely on my data and ad-targeting me.

One not-so-subtle error: At most they've got 500,000 reservations for Model 3 @ $1,000. That's $500 Million.

$500 Million is less than 25% of $2.1 Billion.

Another: A German tear-down firm calculated the cost of building a model 3 at $28,000, all-in. So they would make a 20% gross margin on a sale of the base model when it's available. At the moment, you can't buy one for under $46,000.

The writer conflates gross margin profit and net profit. As long as the gross margin is healthy, Tesla will have a fighting chance. For example, if they average $10,000 gross margin on those same 500,000 reservations, they make $5B in gross profit $. That's enough to pay back all their debt and finance a large portion of their capital spending.

>>Do you disagree with all individual restrictions? Should we eliminate the concept of prescription drugs, so that anyone can go buy Adderall or Accutane without a doctor's approval?

Yes, and Yes.

I believe all drugs should be legal, and OTC. I own my own body and what I choose to consume is none of anyone business but my own.

The idea that you should have any say at all as to what chemicals I consume is absurd to me.

Do you support say making it illegal for a person to buy their own brakes for their car? Instead forcing people only to have their cars repaired by government certified mechanics?

It seems odd to me that we allow anyone to work on a car, something that could actually endanger others, yet we severally restrict what people can do to themselves

But how much have home prices increased since 2000? How much has rent increased? How much has food prices?

Hi! Okay sure, I will tell you! I am rooting for you guys.

1. Presence/active device detection.
Often I am sitting right at my computer actively chatting with somebody, and yet my phone sitting on the desk right next to it is blowing up with notifications of the same messages I am replying to.

2. Too many features.
I am constantly accidentally activating features like snapchat-style disappearing messages and weird alien voice effects. Cool if you have them enabled by default but I would like settings to turn OFF the many features that I literally never use (particularly on mobile where there are both small screens and more features, hence more icons).

3. 10-device limit.
I know it sounds crazy but I have 2 phones and a few tablets and computers at work and home and I often have to delete a device to use the one I am at now. (20 devices would work for me; even 15 probably would.)

4. Initial log in / start up performance.
I know it's hard with the huge photos and encryption. But sometimes i get a notification on my watch that my wife just said XXXXX and I want to respond RIGHT NOW on my computer. But it takes like 8 seconds on an iMac Pro to get to the active/ready state after booting the app. (I tend to just leave it open for this reason, but sometimes have to reboot or whatever and it is not). I would prefer it started up and let me send IMMEDIATELY even if I had to wait for it to load/decrypt the chat histories.

Those are the main ones off the top of my head. It is a great product, though, and I appreciate your efforts!

I use both (with the XPS 13 just for Linux).

The XPS just feels a bit smaller, but perhaps that's because the bezel on the display is tiny in comparison.

Build quality on both machines is generally excellent (notwithstanding MBP keyboard problems that have troubled some). I don't think the display on the XPS is that far behind in use (I have the FHD display, rather than the fancier one). Having done lots of tweaking in X, I think mine looks great with Arch running i3.

As others have mentioned, the smaller trackpad on the XPS isn't quite as good.

Goes without saying I suppose, but a big consideration might be whether you have buy-in on or would have interest in various OSX companion apps that are useful as a developer (Alfred, Kapeli Dash, etc). Also, if you have any intention to develop iOS or dual-platform apps then the Mac's XCode and iOS simulator would require you to go in that direction.

One thing I would mention is that if you're going ultralight with the XPS to develop on the move, then the higher capacity Power Companion is really useful piece of gear to keep you going [1]

Much lighter and slimmer than the Hyperjuice brick I used to hike around with for the Mac.

Except that standard of living has been propped up by debt. Meanwhile productivity has skyrocketed during that time, and it's not like there aren't financial gains coming along with that increase in productivity - there are. They're just being vacuumed up by the top 1% -- the executives and major share holders.

So really, that's a bit of a strawman. The issue isn't that there isn't enough to go around and we should be thankful that we haven't become China. The issue is that a small proportion of the population has manipulated law and the markets to allow them to make off with the wealth, while the rest of us have been screwed over.

...and that's a dangerous thing to allow for many, many reasons.
I don't get what you're trying to say here? Are housing and healthcare not included in the general measurement of inflation where you live?

Or do you mean that wage rises should be compared against only a part of inflation?

Though I tentatively agree with the rest of your comment, the original comparison was to stats only in America.
> Side-by-side diffs and checkpointed diffs (so that you can see what changed since the last round of review and whether/how your comments were addressed) are handled very poorly by GitHub.

I've heard that complaint a lot. How are these things handled poorly by GitHub? It's an honest question; I've only used GH and a bad, ad-hoc, poorly-thought-through Perforce workflow, so I may not know what I'm missing, but it has always seemed quite simple for me to scroll through a pull request and see feedback (either tagged to lines of diff or general), and commits that address pieces of feedback. Then you can click on each commit to view it, or open the full hairball diff to see how those changes end up in the final result. What's missing there?

It sucks when someone puts a bunch of unrelated changes in one commit, or when their commit message is bad ("code review"), but those seem like they'd be problems regardless of GitHub.

I've looked at patch-submit-discuss/mailing-list-style workflows, and they seem fine. The discussion is definitely more front and center. However, when people submit updated patches it seems like I'd want to be able to easily tell what changed between their first iteration and second iteration of the patch--i.e. did they actually address the feedback they got? This can be hard to see, especially if a patch is substantial or to confusing/repetitive code. I can download all the submissions and run diff on each pair in sequence, but that seems like needless hassle when, unless the feedback was "throw it all out and do it a totally different way" (which, in a branching workflow, is often a good reason to start on a fresh branch), subsequent iterations could be submitted as a "patch to a patch", with an easy way to view the cumulative diff. At this point, it would basically be a branch workflow. Are there solutions for this in the patch-submit-discuss model?
The article is about real pay growth of 1% per year. You are commenting as if it were about nominal pay growth of 1% per year.

Accepting that housing and healthcare costs have outpaced wage growth, that mathematically implies that costs of other goods and services were outpaced by wages by an even larger (appropriately weighted) margin.
The majority are a lot poorer and the rich have gotten a LOT richer. We've seen what happens before when we don't redistribute opportunity effectively haven't we.
