> Meanwhile some of us are watching from the sidelines, trying to stay out of the way, hoping not to be next. (Good luck with that.)

The author of this article didn't stay on the sidelines, which is why she got dragged into this mess. Most people stay on the sidelines. The author of this article hosted a podcast called "Me Neither" and, predictably, her life was consumed by a shistorm. One almost feels like this is what she wanted.

I'm not saying anything about that is good -- I'd rather live in a world where people could disagree about whichever issue without anyone's business being ruined. But we don't appear to be living in that world and, for almost everyone, it's totally possible to stay on the sidelines of "the culture war" and just go about your life.
This has been going on for a while for a SaaS called “Browserling” that appears, from the thread, to emulate or host a browser of some sort in the cloud somehow.

Does this issue affect normal Linux desktop-hosted locally-operated “the standard way” browsers?

Then check again, as OpenJDK has a much better ARM support nowadays.

In any case, the beauty of standard Java is that the OpenJDK is not the only option available for targeting ARM, there are other vendors offering Java compliant solutions.

And by being regular Linux distributions, there are also other programming languages available for those that don't like coffee based languages.
First, I commend you for doing something that you really enjoyed. That is great and must have taken a lot of sweat and hard work.

Now, you want to sell this thing. This is where the issues start. You have not monetized it at all so technically it is not a business (no real revenue). Your best bet is to find someone who can use this to compliment something similar that they already do at a bigger scale and they are willing to provide an "emotional" price for it. To be blunt, if you try to sell it someone who purely is looking at it from a business perspective, the valuation is almost zero.

So here is what I suggest:

1. Setup a Patreon account and ask for people to contribute

2. Setup Affiliate Links for your social website and have a way for users to pay and when they convert, your affiliate partners get paid a commission.

3. Sell merchandise or other "related" items on the website.

4. Ask members of the website to subscribe and pay for some "premium" content if possible.

5. Find other bigger classical music folks/companies who may show some interest but do Steps 1-4 first.

I am not private equity type guy but buying/selling businesses excites me and when I see sellers like you who have put in so much hard work but never did it as a business, it breaks my heart a bit because you won't get a good valuation just because it was your baby. All the best.
Ah, yeah. My head read failed as "failed to fail". Updated my comment.
To be fair, the business was her husband's, not hers. he didn't publish any controversial opinions - she did.

having said that, baristas quit? hire new ones, sorry, I am not feeling the outrage regarding this outrage.
Only because Microsoft deliberately chose to cripple it, a decision which they are gradually reversing.
It seems to me that outrage culture is more or less a byproduct of the whole "post-truth" era, actual fact-based arguments are ignored for little more than political reasons. At this point, the only way to win an argument is to shout louder than everyone else, and I feel like I see it everywhere. It's one of the (many) reasons I don't watch/pay attention to the news anymore, it's just so draining to see.

Rather than wait for this ARkStorm to cause the largest migration in U.S. history - I'd be looking to get out of California much sooner.

She is a journalist/writer and wrote about her own views on the MeToo movement. She's paid to have opinions and write about them. People then started using her views as ammo to target her husband's business as a way to inflict collateral damage in her life. This is a pretty dirty way to say you disagree with a writer.
Community edition (open) and Enterprise edition (closed) has been a strategy for years, but now AWS/GCP/Azure are building the enterprise part themselves using the community software.

Changing the enterprise/closed license won't stop the cloud providers. Changing the open source license will: imagine a 4-part BSD that adds a license fee for organizations with over a billion in revenue. That goes to the heart of the problem and still lets everyone else use the software like it's a 3-part BSD.
I think the ARM-based Macs are inevitable, although it might be called "iPad Pro Developer Edition".

This is Jeff Atwood's argument: https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-tablet-turning-point/ ; Apple tablet performance at Javascript is now catching up to and exceeding desktop performance. Apple have also sunk a lot of money into developing their own processor line, and they have experience in force-migrating all their customers between architectures. At some point you might not be able to buy an Intel-based Apple laptop any more. Given the immense brand loyalty among web developers, they are likely to shrug and carry on .. and start demanding ARM servers with high Javascript performance.

Well, to her defense, I still believe there's a difference between voicing an opinion and being offended.

Being offended is having an opinion everyone should wholeheartedly agree with: reserves are offenses in themselves. Offering an opinion do not mean that, it is still open to discussion. I don't see the problem with the latter, but I do think that many of today's "offenses" should be requalified as opinions, over which one should have the "right" to disagree.

The Story of Storytelling
This sums up the causes pretty nicely: http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/life-online
I'm certainly guilty of this. My two cents on the topic are 1) that people are generally bad at letting other people feel and think on their own, 2) as the article suggests, tribalism is now manifesting in schools of thinking, and 3) life is so easy, to the point that others' opinions and emotions can appear hostile.

Point 1 I realized recently when I discovered my family is especially good at emotional gaslighting, where I would complain about something and the family member (any of them, practically) would argue against what I said, in favor of whatever I was complaining about. It was a mix of the Mr Rogers' documentary and a falling out with the family that made me realize empathy means letting others feel, letting others talk, and truly understanding them. Once you're both on the same page emotionally you can offer suggestions or advice, but if you're not on the same page you're denying that person's personhood.

2 and 3 are an interesting combination that I think has led to society at large condemning not-niceness and leaving us in the newer generation either to not have strong opinions or to have VERY strong opinions, pretty much on any topic. I'm sure this happened in generations before but now it's so easy to see one lunatic on Twitter and subconsciously think "that whole group is just like that." I think social media is a mistake, and it will be interesting to see how it pans out in the future.

"Outrage culture" is a child spawn of political correctness.

Quite like Steve Hugues's bit on the subject.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceS_jkKjIgo
When I was in middle school, I wrote an essay about how outrageous it was that someone would get upset at me for holding a door for them.

That was over twenty years ago, before online communications were commonplace. Somewhere between then and now I realized this had never happened to me. In fact, MOST of the outrage people complain about is always third-hand. Certainly you can see it online, but even most of that is outrage over outrage.

If we look at the actual encounters we have in meatspace...there are plenty of wrong idiots, but somehow they are always smaller in number and importance.
Skin in the game was anything but rigorous. I wrote a longer review of the book here [1] but the gist is this - "skin in the game" is a framework for responding to people's ideas by attacking the people directly. He provides little or no evidence while making extraordinary claims.

> He makes the extraordinary claim that “10 percent of Americans will spend at least a year in the top 1 percent, and more than half of all Americans will spent a year in the top 10 percent”. You’d think he’d link to a source that proves this. He does not. He doesn’t even clarify if he’s talking about income or wealth. This isn’t an oversight, it’s deliberate. As he explains, “just a little bit of significant data is needed when one is right”. Of course Taleb is right, so he absolves himself of the need to prove his claims. He simply needs to state them for them to be true.

He actually derides Thomas Piketty for including data in Capital in the 21st Century!

Really great and helpful community.
Two thoughts:

1. I wonder to how much an extent this "outrage culture" is a natural result of click-based revenue models. The game at the moment is to get the most number of people to click on a headline as possible, and it turns out that pushing people's emotional buttons (especially fear and anger) is really effective at getting attention. Sure media has always been able to sell outrage, but with modern analytics and AB testing, it's possible to hone in on the perfect rage-inducing message much more quickly.

2. Twitter is such a strange thing. Most people I hear talk about it suspect it does not make them happier, and we've got this weird social contract right now where whatever you say, or have ever said on there, regardless of context, could potentially result in real-world repercussions including loss of one's livelihood. If there were any other technology which could get you fired from your job for 15 seconds of indiscretion during a night of drinking, or while sitting on the toilet I would guess people would stay the hell away from it.
Hey, so I was a guest host on SEDaily and did about 5 episodes I think and then decided to do my own podcast called corecursive. My format is interviews where an expert is explaining some aspect of software engineering to me.

Some females (due to the XX chromosome setup) are born with red cone receptors that are sensitive to sufficiently different ranges in the wavelength spectrum that they are in effect tetrachromats. I particularly remember reading somewhere that when asked how they experienced the world they had reported to often notice bad color matchings in the way people dress, I suppose much like it can sometimes be apparent that someone is red-green color blind by this same dressing queue.

But a different kind of rod altogether, firing off some completely different signal, who knows what the experience would be like. Psychophysics is a mysterious junction indeed.
Not really, since a lot of them are pretty unpopular. For example, things like "making it illegal to burn the flag" or "stopping Neo-Nazis from marching" poll very well in the US -- people would happily vote to get rid of freedom of speech if they could.

As for rule of law, there are examples of non-democracies with solidly developed rule of law, like present-day Singapore and Hong Kong, or Britain in the 19th century (and before).

Politicians (AOC included) represent their current constituents. Not future potential constituents who might move into their district, but people who live there now.

The key issue here is rising rent, and this is something Local politicians (AOC in particular) campaign on. A significant portion of people here would see their rents go up without seeing any additional benefits.

How would you expect an elected official, who campaigned against higher rents, to justify not opposing Amazon?
I'm going to have to vehemently push back on this. I don't think you can declare what does and does not constitute "implicit approval" for other people. You can't just impose a crusade on other people.

Am I approving of Wolfram'a narcissism if I read an article of his but don't make a comment discussing his narcissism? What if I upvote an article but don't comment about it? What if I comment, but not about his narcissism? Where's the line?

Where does my obligation begin and end? If I choose to abstain from commenting on someone's narcissism, does that mean I have to boycott their work? Do I have to boycott talking about their work with other people?

If you don't respond to this comment of mine, am I to read your silence as implicit agreement? If not, why is that idea any less flippant than yours?

I'm not going to conspicuously trot out a meme about Wolfram's narcissism every time he comes up. It doesn't add any new information to the discussion, whereas he frequently writes interesting things. It also won't make Wolfram any less narcissistic, it will just be obsessive and futile. He's not harming anyone.

To give an example, what you're suggesting is the reason why (for the most part) the only people who find Stallman bearable are people who share his ideology. If you have a pet crusade you launch whenever a topic comes up, you'll quickly find your comments marginalized by everyone who frankly doesn't care about it as much as you. It's just not a productive use of time and doesn't effect the change you think it will. It's a poor hill to die on.

> There were other employees who inquired about going remote, but they were turned down - one even needed to move for their SO (same as my case), so they ended up leaving the company when they moved.

Do you know why they were turned down?
In my opinion mathematical software should be free, as a core of any science. Imagine Wolfram Software tomorrow dissolved and there are tons and tons of mathematical code for it. What we are supposed to do? And it is not a general purpose software, it requires a tremendous experience in the domain to be able to rebuild required piece. Just wasting of time.

Disclaimer: I'm a HPC system administrator in a relatively big academic supercomputer center. I also develop scientific applications to run on these clusters.

> Linus is mostly wrong except for HPC. Very few dev pipelines for folks result in native executables. The vast majority of code is delivered as either source (python, ruby, etc) or bytcode, JVM, Scalia, etc.

Scientific applications targeted for HPC environments contain the most hardcore CPU optimizations. They are compiled according to CPU architecture and the code inside is duplicated and optimized for different processor families in some cases. Python is run with PyPy with optimized C bindings, JVM is generally used in UI or some very old applications. Scala is generally used in industrial applications.

> And the Xeon class machines folks deploy to in data center envs is a world apart from their MacBooks.

No, they don't. Xeon servers generally have more memory bandwidth, and more resiliency checks (ECC, platform checks, etc.). Considering the MacBook Pro have a same-generation CPU with your Xeon server with a relatively close frequency, per core performance will be very similar. There won't be special instructions, frequency enhancing gimmicks, or different instruction latencies. If you optimize well, you can get the same server performance from your laptop. Your server will scale better, and will be much more resilient in the end, but the differences end there.

> Even those creating native binaries, this is done through ci/cd pipelines.

Cross compilation is a nice black box which can add behavioral differences to your code which you cannot test in-house. Especially if you're doing leading/cutting edge optimizations in the source code level.
That's their narrative. In the video they're doing racist fake "Indian" chants at the guy. Whatever happened before that doesn't excuse their clearly racist actions.

We do? I mean, I live in Cleveland and grew up in Ohio, but this is surprising to me.
I totally agree, and, as far as I know, Tom treats his employees quite well. What I’m getting at here is that, in the art world, the most expedient/comfortable/logical way for a worker to do a task doesn’t correlate to a competitive advantage as it might in other industries. For better worse! Artistic struggle is marketable.

Consider Marina Abromovic’s “Rhythm 0” or RAE’s residence in a storefront window. Consenting, controlled discomfort can be a medium in itself.

Personally, I use tiling window managers and mechanical keyboards not to be more efficient, but rather for 1) physical comfort and 2) personal taste.

By physical comfort, I mean that I rely on my hands too much to not take care of them to avoid RSI and personal taste, well, I like not having to reach for a mouse, being able to have what I need side by side with the press of a button and just the minimalist look of tiling window managers.

Does it also make me more efficient or productive? Maybe, possibly, who knows! It probably does, as it removes roadblocks from my workflow, but its not something I pay a lot of attention to.
I just told my boss I was moving, and let them offer.

Working for HP in Atlanta, I'd already proved myself during the '96 Olympics, when even the 12 miles to work was impossible. In 2000, our rent went out of sight; we owned 7 rural acres -- about 800 miles away -- so we just decided to move. I figured my boss would let me telecommute, but I didn't ask for it: I just told him, very honestly, that I was moving, and why. He said, "That's fair. I support you in this move, if you understand that you won't have the same advancement opportunities as someone who's in the office." I agreed, and that was that. I worked another 15 years that way, until HP fell apart and I wanted to change jobs.

I quit coffee in one week. I went from 4 cups to 1 cup to half caff to decaf. Its not that hard.

Headaches are a thing if you quit too fast but they usually only last a few days. For me the worst part is losing the rituals of coffee. It's hard to give up years of routine.
Could it be that they identified a crash/vuln that involves X11 on Linux, or DDoS, or ATO, and proactively block that as an emergency mitigation?

I still vote for a filter gone awry, no need to be needlessly conspiracist.
American Airlines, Singapore Airlines Seats Have Cameras. Here's Why
I lucked out to be employed at a company with a culture permitting remote work. I don't have the 'answer', but I can describe some factors which make it a no-brainer.

Our company is located in NYC a few blocks away from PENN Station, where Long Island commuters arrive in Manhattan. Several top peeps in the company live on LI, and commute to work. Sometimes the commute is terrible, and they work remotely. And, there are peeps in the company who have family obligations which necessitate a flexible schedule. The schedule gaps in their office attendance is filled by remote work.

It all just works. I believe my colleagues recognize this situation is not common, and therefore the flexibility engenders loyalty to the company.

Also, senior colleagues are not micro-managers, and my fellow colleagues don't need constant supervision and instruction.

Finally, there's one argument which comes up in this cultue that might be helpful. Some senior colleagues say they can't get a lot done at work with interruptions from junior colleagues and phone calls. If you're in this position, then remote work could increase your productivity and help you meet deadlines.

Good luck.
Mark Zuckerberg Says Facebook Has Been an 'Innovator in Privacy'
I think the news is perpetuating it. They're not stupid. They know they can tap into all this outrage for their own benefit. Once people are riled up they are sadistically attracted to things that will fuel that rage and the news media outlets are all too happy to oblige.

That's not to suggest in any way we as a society, or that our government should try to stifle the media. But the media outlets, from the journalists all the way to the owners need to take heed their power and use it responsibly and constructively. And that's something they've been ignoring for far too long.
