This hasn't been a problem since around 2008 when all OS vendors changed their partitioning tools to use at least 1M alignment by default. I also wrote a tool (http://libguestfs.org/virt-alignment-scan.1.html) which can be used to scan and in a few cases correct for this problem.

Yeah... there are really several conversations that could be had:

1. Rich deserves credit and respect for personally taking on a cost that ranges into the hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund Clojure. Very few people do this, and even fewer bring the taste and judgement Rich brought to Clojure.

2. Rich/Cognitect currently own the Clojure governance model and they can do with it what they want.

3. Maybe the current governance model isn't what's going to bring Clojure the next 20-30 years of viability.

My take on it essentially this:

1. Yes. I wouldn't/couldn't do it myself. (And I've started down the path at least once.)

2. Yup. Maybe it will be what the platform needs to grow and thrive. Maybe not. Maybe it will be attractive to users and developers. Maybe not.

3. At some point, this will probably be true. Given the history of companies and projects, this shouldn't be a surprise.

phoronix.com just published some Power9 vs. Xeon vs Epyc benchmarks[1]. It is actually not on par with Xeon/Epyc. also note that the motherboard used by those Power9 has a price tag of $2499, when a dual socket LGA3647 motherboard from a first tier vendor can be purchased at $400 delivered.

No. Just like all hardware based raids you can set mdadm to use full raw disk.

The GPT is only useful when you want to use part of the disk for RAID - partitioning disk into multiple parts where only some of it will be raided. Some people prefer opposite. First raid raw disks and then partition that md storage.

The other reason to put GPT (or old style partition table) is so that no system or tool will mistakenly be helpful with detrcting "uninitiated drive" and then asking to perform quick format.
Thank you. Exactly.
> Why are tech companies making custom typefaces?

Because they hate me. I disable font smoothing on my machines. Custom typefaces usually have poor hinting, which means they look terrible without smoothing (e.g. inconstant line thickness and inconsistent spacing).

The fonts that ship with Windows and Mac OS are wonderfully hinted, and appear crisp and clean without font smoothing. I curse the day web fonts were invented and gave the industry bad excuses not to use them.

Google is the absolute worst here. They use custom fonts heavily now, and somehow they're not even blockable with the Font Blocker extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/font-blocker/knpga...).
If it only works on one device it is pretty niche and hardly a replacement for the headphone jack...
Nobody actually paid for WhatsApp. At least, nobody I know off. They supposedly required you to pay 1€ a year after the first year, but everybody kept using it for free forever. I'd say they never made any money.

Yeah, considering what I've heard about startup culture, I'd hope such equity payouts are a bit more than this. Anything less than $100k (note, a future expectation, and far from certain) is not worth accepting lower pay or long working hours for.
Mutually assured destruction makes sense if humans and information is perfect .... but it's not so it seems more like it is just a matter of time until it happens.

I am hoping* AMD Radeon Vega 7nm along with ROCm 2.0 will at least bring some much need competition to Nvidia. But the Dev head of ROCm recently followed Raja, Previous Head of Radeon Group to Intel and likely more to follow ( He already pouched many already, at this rate Radeon Group will be an empty Group by end of next year ). So I guess may be Intel will be the competitor instead?
The problem is that it defines the qualities of a senior without defining what a senior is except for 'someone with these qualities'. There's nothing wrong on the list if you think the list is the right definition of a senior developer. For example, if I say I'm a senior but I don't mentor juniors that presumably means I'm not really a senior, or maybe I'm a bad senior. Likewise if I choose not to do company politics. Or even if I choose not to prioritize code quality. The author would presumably accuse me of not being a real senior. It's kind of like the "no true Scotsman" fallacy but for developers.
Thanks for being one of the few voices of humanity in this exchange. This whole situation just feels.. icky.. to me. I wish I knew what long term effects Rich's statement will have on the community, but I can't help but think that it will probably verge towards the opposite of embracing diverse viewpoints. That makes me quite sad.
so what would comprise the requirements for an adequate explanation of incompetence in this case?
What about recoverability features? Starting with Raid 1 mirroring and then going through to less storage wastefull like Raid 5? Or more resilient Raid 6?
> Sometimes you have to take a step back to take two steps forward.

And sometimes you have to take a step back because someone pushes you.

I'm old enough to remember getting a cordless home phone. Being able to walk around the house and talk instead of sitting by the phone jack was awesome. And there was very little downside, because whenever you weren't using the phone, you put it on the cradle and it was charging.

Ethernet to WiFi was similarly good. I like that I can sit anywhere in or near my house and use the internet. There's not much downside.

But headphones? If I'm listening to a podcast on my phone, I'm going to have my phone on me. I'm not going to walk away from it because then I couldn't control the playback.

A wireless connection to something I'm going to be touching while I use it anyway doesn't do anything for me. I get zero freedom of movement from that. It just means another thing to configure, another thing to charge, another way things can be incompatible or fail.
Part of the problem is that capitalism seems to require perpetual growth. The "economy" is only "good" when things are growing and expanding, which means more people, more consumption. We need a way to maintain equilibrium.

The concept of Steady-state Economy is rather interesting to me, though it seems the topic doesn't get much attention.

I made a clean break (never installed WhatsApp in the first place, in fact). I got many friends to install Signal and use it to contact me, but only since other people have started using it as their preferred messaging app as well is it reaching critical mass - friends who are not on Signal are now starting to use it due to FOMO.

So what I'm trying to say is: I've seen your strategy working, so it's a good one that doesn't require you to make too many personal sacrifices.

1) I bought a pair of bluetooth headphones from china about three years ago for $20, the price hasn't dropped.

2) Aliexpress has nearly 100k results for bluetooth headphones there has always been plenty of competition, they are still shit.
https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=S...

3) I agree with this more people have spent alot of money on bluetooth headphones that don't work, how is this a benefit to anyone but the corporations that profit from it?

As you said yourself you can get bluetooth headphones for $20, but you wouldn't because they are shit. We don't need lower prices we need better value headphones, removing the headphone jack has done nothing to help this.

There where cheap and shitty, wired and wireless headphones before they removed the headphone jack, there are cheap and shitty wired and wireless headphones after, the market is not better off and the customers are especially not better off.

Edit-
AirPods are the first decent bluetooth headphones, they are the competition not the lack of a jack. Look at that aliexpress link its not even a competition they are just copying the style and shoving the same shitty gear inside.
Your comment is condescending, and why can’t the parent complain if they feel men are being discriminated against?

A “camp for women” does sound discriminatory, doesn’t it?
Apple and honestly most corporations doesn't care either.

This is a pr move to help with their image as their sales and public relations are on a downward slide (and microsoft is on the upward swing).

I'm not saying anything about this program in moral way.But I dislike the idea that's corporations are benevolent. Apple could do more for everyone if they paid their fair share of taxes.
I've been thinking about this case a lot as it compares to the investment industry and it's troubling. Apple is the "market maker" here, not unlike the NYSE or NASDAQ and they certainly add value to the consumer and the developer by facilitating sales for devs and offering some level of protection for the customer. Apple of course deserves to be compensated for that value-add. On the other hand, Apple has built this "walled garden", which is another way of saying monopoly, and that comes at a cost to both the consumer (higher prices) and innovation (devs spend time/effort/energy complying with Apple's app store policies).

I'm not terribly familiar with the case law but I do know that NYSE has had at least a handful of similar antitrust cases in the past. I'm not sure if the cases were getting at transaction costs but the crux of every antitrust suit is generally that XYZ action by a monopoly leads to unjustifiably higher prices. It occurred to me that as a result of this case Apple might change their pricing structure to align with the pricing strategy stock exchanges typically use. That is, a nominal transaction fee that covers only the cost of the transaction but then charges the companies an annual "listing fee." That would be awful for innovation, small developers, and by extensions, consumers who would then having fewer apps to choose from.

I suppose thats just a long way of me saying that I fear the Plaintiffs may actually hurt consumers more in the long run.
You're probably correct.

But the problem with money is that once you have some; you want more.
Supreme is one of the original new york streetwear lines, it's practically an institution. I used to work in that exact building for years and I couldn't disagree with you more. I think there is something really cool about the kids lining up to get a drop, if you go chat with them for a while, they know every supreme, who inspired it, and given the massive lines are usually always collaborations - why the collab is special. Given Supreme has been operating in the city for 25 years and not much has changed outside of the collabs they do, I don't think you're correct about them being "about appropriating other design". Even the Barbara Kruger comment is a huge stretch, inspiration and appropriation are not the same things.

[2017] Protonmail API: a peak under the hood
Not the author of the previous post, but I wholeheartedly support them, so I would also like to address your question.

When you ask, "Does it reflect a genuine worry that men are being excluded from the software industry?", the answer is, no of course not. I don't think we worry that men are being excluded from the industry. What I worry about is that the tool to correct the perceived gender imbalance is inherently sexist. I can't imagine how one can believe that sexual discrimination in any form is bad and at the same time discriminate against applicants on the basis of their gender. It does not matter that the tech industry is currently dominated by males — fighting a wrong (gender inequality on a large scale) with another wrong (sexual discrimination on a small scale) feels... well... not right.

What I thought is ironic as hell is Zuckerberg's (or the company's lawyers) attitude that England anyway has no jurisdiction and they can't be compelled to produce him, or even answer questions in an honest way.

About the funniest is the following statement by a Facebook spokesperson:

“The materials obtained by the DCMS committee are subject to a protective order of the San Mateo Superior Court restricting their disclosure. We have asked the DCMS committee to refrain from reviewing them and to return them to counsel or to Facebook. We have no further comment.”

I dare say that the fucks that Mr. Collins gives on the order of the San Mateo Superior Court can be counted with zero hands.

The Wikipedia article on extended family looks like a good primer on the diversity of family structures that exists around the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_family

Rather than "everyone is roughly equal" it's probably more accurate to say that the degree of power, dependence and investment between family members varies dramatically from culture to culture. The nuclear model is certainly widespread in modern times, but multi-generational models are still very common, especially in Asia.

The post-familial model, where Thanksgiving becomes Friendsgiving because you don't have any blood relatives you know and like, is surely the newest and rarest. I think having friends who are more important than extended family, let alone immediate family, is a pretty modern phenomenon.
That’s fine. It’s just a tick in Firefox to do so. Yesterday I made a readme intended for some Windows friends. Just a simple single html page. I set it to “Segoe UI”,sans-serif so it looks more like a Windows manual. If someone opens it on a mobile device or a Mac somehow, then it still looks fine. It mostly just avoids people seeing Times New Roman or Arial, which I don’t need A/B testing for to know is not as nice to look at or doesn’t look very Windows like.

Unless you use Chrome, you can also go to the reader mode to avoid all the CSS. Plenty of options for you!

...and the headphone jack was removed several years ago, so what's your point?

What I'm saying is that it's makes the prices go down. That means better quality ones will get cheaper.

How is it forcing anything on anyone? One, you don't have to buy the phone, and two, you can use the supplied lightning-adapter headphones, or use an adaptor.

While I don’t care either way about the lawsuit, he did make one great point. Apple under Tim Cook is more concerned about being profitable through rent seeking than making products that people are willing to pay a premium for.

On an unrelated note, when people call Apple a monopoly because the only way that you can reach IOS users is via the App Store, I always say how is that different than the console makers[1]? But even more broadly, if you want to reach Facebook users you have to go through the Facebook and the same with Google and Amazon. How are any of the other platform providers any different?

[1] yes the physical media you buy for consoles still has to be approved by the console makers, they are cryptographically signed and they have to pay a license fee to the console makers.
> Those who focus on tone and delivery, and those who focus on content and consistency.

This is false dichotomy. Overwhelming majority of people care about both. When your tone and delivery is insulting or diminishing them, they see it and react to that too - those who don't tend to end up bullied and disrespected.

Also people who dont care about tone and delivery quite often backstab. Just like they dont care about others while there is no crises, they care even less when crisis is there.

You don't need machine learning to do that. Even something like p-hash of every frame and if more than some threshold aren't the same, then it can't be replaced. I guess over the course of dozens of replacements you could replace the whole video, but you could always just store the p-hash of the whole original video, or even some sample of it, and always compare against that and not the most recent version.

There is a big difference between design and bug fixes. There are many small tickets with bug fixes already written that have not been merged into Clojure citing Rich’s time. Sometimes months or years go by, even when the Jira thread includes supporting comments from Alex Miller at Cognitect.
