You’re only pointing out one little consequence of that bubble. It doesn’t fix the actual problem. Sure, I know people who live in Sacramento and work in Cupertino, I let you do the maths. Trust me it’s not about being an idiot who needs financial advise. Everyone is already doing that, obviously they can’t afford to pay $5000/mo on rent or to drop $1.5 on a 1bd apartment near their office. The real problem is that we are engineers, product managers, directors, etc making big money. We have to live at an hour away from places. How about the other people I mentioned in my previous message? What if Manhattan was a giant place full of office buildings with no homes, no stores, nothing but offices. Opening a Google campus in downtown San Jose is like throwing gas at a giant fire. Tech giants need to diversify their locations, starting probably with VC’s moving out of their little cocoons. People will follow them everywhere they go. They have to make the big move first.

Why? Android didn't have any copyleft code besides the Linux kernel, which doesn't extend to the userland. The rest of the components were Bionic (BSD), Dalvik (Apache) and Harmony (Apache).

They now use OpenJDK, but that was after getting sued.
I wasn't saying that electric kettles are making any noticeble impact on environment (imo), just that they could be a problem in certain circumstances.
I really like the new Apple hardware ; it's fast enough to do most things on (like this example), but there are no real serious production apps for developers. I have been building my own tooling for iPad but it's really not something that can be released. I do use the iPad as daily driver for most things, but writing code on it is still not very feasible. There is no way (as far as I know) to 'catch' actual crashing processes, for instance if you make a boo boo when coding something with UIKit (check Continuous editor for iPad for an example of something that will be crashing completely all the time when/if you try anything serious on it), the entire app will crash and that's not really workable. If it is possible to actual prevent that, it would be possible to make an actual interpreter with a debugger and make a programming environment on it.

But for experiments and in-house tooling, it works very well, and I barely have to touch my laptop ever because I have enough tooling to do most things I need to do.

Small things are; more developer freedom (allowing fuller control; probably will happen very very slowly) and better keyboard (for the iPad Pro).
A couple of problems with this view. The first is that voter fraud is not easy to detect. When I voted all I had to do was walk in, sign a sheet by my name, and go vote. There was no verification or validation of anything. I could have just as well signed by another individual's name. If I was smart I'd do it somewhere closer to the closing of poll times to help minimize the chances that they'd show up. I could then go from station to station doing similar things.

The second is that the past does not predict the future. Politics getting kind of absurd in the US. People are radicalizing to an extreme degree. When people are assaulting and trying to intimidate one another because of relatively minor differences of political opinion, it should be assumed that voter fraud is going to be an increasingly severe threat to election integrity.

Maybe most importantly of all. You don't want to wait until it's a severe issue to stop it. At that point you risk having already have lost the faith of the electorate and that's only going to lead to bad outcomes. You want to preempt bad actors.
Hehe, I actually hate football, and my mom never liked it either since she wanted us to have brain cells and such (we all played basketball instead), but I give it as an example of a community thing people did and supported. Totally agree on that point though.

In my experience, it’s not much more OO than Haskell. Even in many functional languages, you typically want some OO — you’ll want some core type that you export opaquely, and then you have functions doing logical operations on that.

I think two of the biggest differences are:

- Because the type and memory systems make it possible to skip heap allocation if you’re careful, it’s “idiomatic” to prefer avoiding techniques that still require it. This means avoiding long-lived closures. Note that closures still are used very heavily, but typically aren’t passed around between many owners like in Lisp or JavaScript.

- Similarly, because Rust can give you incredible safety and speed if you use it a certain way, people tend to write with interior mutability very often. However, unlike in most languages, Rust’s type systems is a tremendous help to the programmer with mutability, and it’s much, much more likely that you’ll see interior mutability done right. It allows you to program in a style that feels very functional even while using many imperative components. A lot of your code still ends up as basic pattern matching and simple closures.
This licensing nonsense is clearly people trying to force their political opinions or business interests upon software consumption. To step aside from the political nonsense and business liability I prefer the most militant permissive license, CCO-1.0, in my own software.

Homes in decent condition and school districts are not in the $450k to $750k range, and the added time and stress cost of using a failing public transportation system should be taken into account also. In addition to that, you won’t get access to nice big parks or trails or gyms with pools and saunas.

Manhattan is great, if you’re a millionaire and can put your kids in great private schools and hire private drivers or are single and don’t mind small living quarters and can walk to work. But for those with families, I don’t see how the commute time and lack of access to uncrowded and well maintained public facilities is worth it.

It’s crazy to me that people commute for 60 to 90 min each way on unreliable public transit from NJ and CT and NY, all to give their kids a decent school district or yard. Wasting their entire Mon to Fri slaving at work in exchange for the job market and pay of NYC. Personally, if you don’t make it big (at least $250k+) in your 20s and early 30s in NYC, and you want to or already have a family, I would get out and live somewhere where I can have access to all 7 days of my week for something other than work, dinner, and sleep.

Regarding textual logging, I think it works wonderfully and I don't think it's at odds with schema-ful reporting. One good way is to include error codes. Informal messages are at least as important. They are ergonomic to humans and their meanings are easy to look up with a web search.

Of course textual logging can always be supported by other means, like crash dumps.
Believe me, I would love to buy my kitchen stove, washing machine, refrigerator, aspirator, air conditioner and vacuum cleaner from a local manufacturer.

I gave up my car more than a decade ago. I haven't owned a vacuum cleaner in years. I live in a cheap rental with a wood floor. We strictly enforce taking shoes off just inside the front door to prevent dirt from being tracked in so we don't have to clean as much.

I currently live in a hundred year old building that doesn't have air conditioning. I'm interested in buying a home. Once I get a home, I will likely do what I can to use passive solar approaches to keeping the place comfortable with a minimum of electricity year round.

Passive solar design relies heavily on things like insulation and thermal mass. It tends to produce higher comfort levels than forced air heat while being cheaper in the long run.

Unfortunately, passive solar works best when it is incorporated at the design stage of a building. There are limits to how much you can retrofit a building with it.

I don't assume that the culture we have currently is the one we will have in the future. I have spent some years working to design the kind of life I want rather than just accepting that the way my life was is all that will ever be.

I own a lot less than I used to. I have a higher quality of life. For one thing, my life is no longer being consumed by cleaning and maintaining a giant pile of possessions, so I have more time for having a life.

Intended as food for thought.

Best.

FYI your link to Frank-Lin describes a range of services including blending, and lists whiskey, bourbon and scotch.

At least not in the case of bourbon or scotch.

Let's take throwing rocks from a highway bridge. I would never want to do such a thing, so knowing that I would get punished for it doesn't curtail my autonomy. I don't feel "forced" by those laws to not do it, since my own volition comes first. I think about the example of the doctor the same way.

Autonomy doesn't just mean being able to do random things and not being subject to thermodynamics and gravity and everything, in the context of a human being's will to live, it simply has to do with being subject to the will of another human being, and the reasons for that.

As Hannah Arendt said in an interview:

> The whole of Kants morality boils down to the fact that every human has to consider if each of their actions could be general law. This means.. it's the the extreme opposite of obedience, so to speak! Everybody is lawgiver. No human has the right to obey according to Kant. [..] We obey in this sense, as long as we are children, because it is necessary. There obedience is a very important thing. But this should end at the latest at age fourteen or fifteen.

In that sense, I would also make a distinction between discipline and coercion. E.g. choosing (and keeping to reflect on and affirming) even the most rigid principles and living by them is not a reduction, but an expression of autonomy. If you are your own captor -- and you're aware of it, and it's a voluntary choice, rather than a rationalization like like with drug addiction or mental problems -- then you're not really a prisoner.

When I work on something I love, I sometimes work my ass off. I could never ever work this hard on command, outside of a slave camp with actual guns pointed at me. There is simply no way. But when I'm in "in the zone"? I love it, because there isn't just pressure, there is also grip that translate it into motion in a direction that fulfills me.

The same goes for helping people or doing chores that I agree need to be done. E.g. once I and people from an FB group helped clean the flat of a woman who was lethally scared of an upcoming landlord inspection.. and so ashamed of the state of her flat that she actually wasn't even there while we did it. I cleaned nicotine stains from surfaces with baking soda for two days and it felt good then, and still feels good thinking back on it. According to her best friend who had organized the thing she broke out in tears of joy when she saw the result. If I had to do it for money for someone who then complains about the result, it would have been degrading. Same work, different context, completely different result. Extend that to a lifespan and it's really no wonder.

I think people can't care deeply about things they don't have some kind of ownership of, and doing things we don't or can't care deeply about makes us sick. Which is good, because it also means doing things we care about makes us happy, so let's do that :D
Well, yeah, that's basically equivalent to saying that you'd save money by running an internal combustion engine at home, rather than buying electricity from the grid.

> Add that to AMD's recent surge, Intel's in a world of hurt.

Meh. Looking at the sales numbers of past quarters, AMD still hasn't significantly hurt Intel. They have made a lot of inroads among hobbyists and in small-store prebuilts, but the major brands still appear to be dominated by Intel.

It's a real shame that nobody seems to have made an actually good Raven Ridge laptop. The CPU is imho objectively better for laptop use than any Intel competitor, but all laptops built with it appear to have a major deficit of some kind or another.

Another mystery is lack of Epyc uptake. There are a lot of workloads where Epycs should be dominating Intel server chips when compared at the same price or power level, especially after all the recent chip vulnerabilities which are much less serious for AMD than they are for Intel, but Epyc sales are definitely lagging. Is AMD unable to make them, or are companies just wary of buying AMD?

I'm not sure what it is you're looking for. If you're drafting a new free software license you will need to consider how you provide the four freedoms in addition to what your model for development is. What you dismiss as dogma is decidedly the whole point of writing a free software license.

I won't comment on specific privacy issues or on decreasing margins, but it would appear that Linux (at least) is riding the wave of consolidation, not the other way around. The increasing pervasiveness of service models just means the market has reached maturation.

The upstream issue with discussion about Arm support is https://github.com/mozilla/rr/issues/1373 -- the underlying problem is that rr's design assumes that if you execute N instructions you'll always deterministically end up in the same place. In architectures which implement atomics via a load-linked/store-conditional loop (including Alpha, Arm, MIPS, PPC,...) this isn't true, because differences at the OS level (eg timing of other interrupts or process scheduling) could cause an ll/sc loop to loop round more often. It's not clear how this could be addressed, because it's pretty deeply baked into rr's design.
I really wish people would more clearly disclose when they have been provided a product to review by the manufacturer.
