Very nice. To me, the biggest things I have grown to love since moving to a mac are:

- Spotlight (& I use it far less than most). You mention Desktop Search as the replacement. Have you wired it up to cmd+space?

- Time Machine (the way it handles going back in time for your current Finder window is awesome). For me, an rsync solution is a poor cousin to Time Machine, purely because of the graphic aspect. It would be awesome to know of a FOSS equivalent to it (but would need to work with your current file manager: thunar).

> However, what about a genious which politely replies something along the lines of "I'm very sorry but I don't think your contribution aligns with the goals and/or philosophy of this project."

I agree that, in principle, someone could do that. But I think in practice the people who can stand firm in that response, while remaining polite over many years, are pretty unusual.
But why? The hypothetical people who would actually fight with such things today don't care about how it looks. Go to a gun show or AR15 enthusiast forum and compare how those guns look with those that people in the military or SWAT teams use. Playing with guns/swords is fundamentally different from actually relying on them not to die. And then you have the people who like knives/swords for how they look, and would like to be able to argue that 'their' sword/knife also has the most utility if it were to be actually used. But they already do that, and are fully convinced of it, too! And the lack of actual substantive evidence (even if one could devise a single optimum function by which to measure each knife/sword...) is what keeps all these people, and the whole industry, going. So it's in nobodies interest to have one single 'best' thing. (and that's even ignoring that the amount of idiocy and stubbornness in such communities is staggering - look at the comments on the OP!)

A more generalized way to put it is there is a perception of a disconnect between what you say and what you do. If you'd like to shake the label, try being more direct and make sure your words more closely match your actions.
Straight from the enforcement body:

“The law recognizes that everyone has the right to self-identify their gender and that “misgendering” is a form of discrimination.”

“Refusing to refer to a trans person by their chosen name and a personal pronoun that matches their gender identity, or purposely misgendering, will likely be discrimination when it takes place in a social area covered by the Code, including employment, housing and services like education.”

I understand the background of the "passion" conversation (e.g., PG's take) but I've begun to think it's way too biased.

At some point in my life I became obsessed with software and very quickly went from zero to getting paid. Now I am, as one of the other comments in this thread said, a 'white suit' consultant. I work in SV from NN time zones away and have been given complete autonomy over the project I'm working on. Some would call that a dream job. It's certainly different from the 'dark suit' consulting I used to do, where who I was / how I appeared was just as important as what I delivered.

A close friend of mine, on the other hand, has risen to the top of their industry and is one of the most driven and hard working people I know -- but they are decidedly not obsessed with or passionate about their field. It's just their career. They take it seriously and always give 100%, but catching an after-work conversation from them would be along the lines of 'fuck this nonsense'.

Years ago I suggested this person 'find their passion', hop careers, start a company, whatever. They never did. They're still doing well in their career and they still have a 'meh' relationship with it at the end of the day. When I say doing well I mean they're senior management and close to being offered a CEO/MD title.

Passion certainly helped me succeed in software. But it's not something I cultivated. It was something I needed to do, wasn't at the time and which was manifesting in other ways (e.g., baroque engineering hobbies). I didn't find or develop my passion for software, I just, one day, found that this obsession was a good fit for software. Because it's one of the more lucrative fields to be in today, it was an easy decision to pursue it.

But there are plenty of successful people who are not obsessed with anything. The majority probably. They strive towards excellence, because that is their character, but they could have done a dozen other things with an equal amount of dedication and wouldn't have fallen in love with any of them.

Obsession can be an advantage and the minority that have found a fit between their obsession and a lucrative career tend to think it's necessary. I did for a long time. But at the end of the day you're just creating value. You can choose to do that which just as much success as those who need to.

On the other hand, you could just as easily be obsessed with something that's not lucrative or even self destructive. Sometimes that pays off (e.g., someone obsessed with BASE jumping may eventually find sponsors). Sometimes not (they die before reaching that point).

I think a lot of this passion talk boils down to 'we had an aptitude for X when X was in demand and a good way to make money'. People are over-generously distilling that to 'passion=money'.

I honestly feel this is harder to read than classical notation - minute details of the head shape indicate sharp/flat, and i have to almost count the lines to know note length, instead of stronger visual clues.

Not mentioning the pain of making these little shapes & accurate-length-strokes all by hand if you consider writing it.

All in all I'd say yes, you changed _where_ the basic information gets encoded, but does it really make it any better?
>Have you ever worked with brilliant assholes? It sucks the life out of you

There's a vast difference between a "Steve Jobs type asshole" and a "Linus type asshole". The rants I read from Steve Jobs were all petty, domineering and often arbitrary.

The rants I read from Linus were (mostly) about senior developers who tried to defend broken designs and breaking simple, well thought out rules. They were entirely predictable and avoidable.

The former would suck the life out of me but I wouldn't mind the latter.

Yes, conditional subsidies. Obvious in hindsight, thus brilliant. ++
I mostly play baroque music from notation, where the convention was to use roughly doubled note values compared to today - most of what I play has the beat in minim/half-note sized values, so we're often in 4/2 or 6/4 rather than 4/4 or 6/8.

The lack of visual noise from the sparser notation, hollow note-heads etc. is rather pleasing compared to some later music where you're into demisemiquavers where you could have just had semiquavers. We see semiquavers in my viol consort we know they're going to be teeny little notes in most pieces. There's just less ink on our pages!

I don't really understand why it shifted to shorter values. I guess it probably wasn't deliberate though. These things usually aren't, they just... happen.

ETA: maybe the increased visual grouping of beamed quavers and smaller notes was considered valuable for conveying the composer's intentions with regard to phrasing, especially as printing technology became increasingly capable of properly reproducing them.
But the flip side of that coin is that to my understanding he disclosed the information to only a handful of journalists and not the entire world. Sure, his decision wasn't ideal, but no situation was given the position he put himself in.

Ask HN: Should IT Adopt “Black Box Thinking” in Relation to Cyber Attacks?
As someone who designs enterprise software for a living I find it strange now little detailed analysis available in the public domain there seems to be regarding major cyber attacks and security breaches. I do wonder how companies are supposed to learn from other's mistakes when the information is so rarely available?

There was an excellent analysis* of the recent BA credit card leak which prompted a great deal of internal debate into the level of exposure and risk, however this was conducted by a third-party analyst and not an official investigation.

https://www.riskiq.com/blog/labs/magecart-british-airways-breach/

However, this is rare and there have been several high-profile breaches which do not seem to have been so thoroughly investigated and the results published.

When an airliner crashes there is a forensic level investigation and the results are shared with the wider industry. At the end of the day it is in everyone's best interests, as not only do companies face financial losses compensating their customers, they also risk damage to brand reputation and ultimately fines from regulators.

What are people's opinions on the IT industry adopt a similar black box thinking approach to reporting the causes of security breaches.
Thanks for the naming explanation linked in the readme. That almost seems like a case study to warn of the dangers of using case sensitivity to reference different things.

Facebook is a large company with many projects going on. While I admit that machine learning accelerators is a likely candidate, there are a huge number of possibilities for potential ASIC projects.

Facebook owns Oculus, I could easily see Oculus needing a custom ASIC, maybe a low-latency display driver. Or a high-powered SoC if they decide to do an untethered Rift. This is also where I could see them potentially making a GPU. Making a whole SoC is hard, why not take an off the shelf one and attach it to a custom mobile GPU chip.

It's also possible that Facebook might have a smartphone project on the go (again). A custom SoC could be useful for that.

Or facebook might be considering post smartphone devices. There are lots of places where a SoC could be useful.

Facebook has been making their own open servers (and switches) for a while. But they still built around "backdoored" intel CPUs. I could easily Facebook wanting a high-performance server grade open CPUs (probably RiscV based).
> I never thought this level of imitation would be possible in the free world.

I've seen (and had at some point) much better results than those seen there (the screenshots here are painful to look at – OMG uneven spacing), at the time based on GNOME 2 (with a GTK patch for the global menu). Even then it's a far cry from being anything remotely like macOS and, while functional, leaks at every seam and reeks of being a shallow imitation: it's meagre coat of paint that flakes all around†. Whenever I am to use a Linux/BSD machine now I'd rather embrace the environment†† instead of attempting to mimic an entirely foreign one.

† To each their own, I'm happy that the author found a good compromise, it's just not one I'm willing to make.

†† Generally using some i3, awesome, or *box (none used as tiling window managers), minimising the use of GTK/QT apps as much as possible (a bit extreme but I visually can't stand them).
I like how you use `go get` to pull the project.
Nice touch.
I wanted to say something similar to this. But I think you articulated it much better than I could have.

I think that now, today, Linus could afford to be less of an asshole. But I honestly wonder if the project would've have succeeded so well without him being so strict and demanding in the beginning.

EDIT: Yes, I think that it is possible to be strict and demanding without doing ad-hominem attacks and without swearing. It's just that it's very rare.

Well, for one, because the standard for publication in many fields is “there’s a less-than-5% chance that we observed these effects because of coincidence”.

Combine that with people not publishing negative-results studies, and all it takes is someone doing 20 studies (or worse, 20 analyses on the same data set) in order to find that 1-in-20 chance occurring...by chance.

Of course, this has little to do with research itself and much more to do with the standards researchers hold each other to.
Not so much important or memorable: most of the really important stuff on RISC OS was small-scale commercial. There was also a tendency to use BASIC minifiers to make the program fractionally faster and somewhat smaller, so the boundaries with obfuscation weren't that clear.

As for the contemporaneous writing, I'd start with the comp.sys.acorn.* newsgroup archive on Google Groups, because it's searchable (and I definitely remember this stuff being discussed in the late 90s, mainly as a reaction against the rise of Free Software.

Incidentally, the decline of the RISC OS market really brought home to me the value of having sources available (and being allowed to use them). We had two significant breaking architectural changes (StrongARM architecture in 96 and the move from ARM's 26-bit to 32-bit addressing mode in the 00s) which cost us a lot of good software because the authors had moved on and nobody could fix the code.
So you're saying raising minimum wage is just a way to increase inflation - both wages and prices go up.

I'm not sure the data really supports this.

Let's suppose it does. Then don't forget raising the minimum inflates away some debt and wealth as well. Which will help people in debt. And moves wealth away from those who have it.
I'm referring to the "Sniff test of self-recognition" (STSR), which has been proposed by Gatti in [Gat16] and run on a very small sample of dogs. Horowitz has proposed another testing method, derived from STSR, in [Hor17]. [Hor17] has been criticized by Gallup et al. in [Gal18] for lacking evidence according to their framework of self-awareness (dogs need to sniff on themselves after exposure to their own scent). But the authors agree that the "olfactory mirror" test is a valid extension of the "mirror test", a self-awareness test based on visual clues. Gatti has shared some of the criticism recently [Gat18], but attributes the lack of evidence to formal problems, namely [Hor17] failing to cite important aspects of his original work in [Gat16]. And indeed, while [Gal18] cites [Hor17], and [Hor17] cites [Gat16], [Gal18] makes no mention of results by Gatti in [Gat16], which would support their framework: "[...] when released together inside the enclosure and left free to move and interact with each other and with the five samples, the four dogs repetitively sniffed the excretory organs of the others and the containers, sometimes stopping to sniff themselves."

I'm no expert, so I don't want to make any strong assertions here. But it seems that only recently, alternative self-awareness testing procedures (to the "mirror test") have become acceptable by researchers. Now new tests will be designed, and there is a body of evidence to be gathered for each of those tests. I personally believe that, given that the defense of human exclusivity for cognitive features has been a running fight, self-awareness will eventually suffer a similar fate.
