Communication is by far THE biggest issue in many projects. Especially with geeky introverty software dev types. Heck, my fiancee is a doctor and the amount of crap that happens in hospital just because people (other doctors/nurses/patients) don't communicate clearly, make tons of incorrect assumptions etc. is astonishing (and has direct consequence in quality and quantity of health care provided).
> That's... not the way hardware works.

Regarding transistor / area budget, sure.

Regarding power budget, that absolutely could be the way hardware works. Modern chips can and do power off pieces of silicon when they are not needed. Whether that would be worth it for instruction decoding, I don't know, but it could be.
Recently, I was reading Brain Rules for Baby by John Medina. IIRC, he said that normally people will have permanent psychological damage and but a few humans seem to get past childhood trauma. There are some genes which seem to make children more resilient. So resilience might be partially hereditary.
How to Get Better at Pair Programming
When I was typing that comment, I was actually going to elaborate on this point, but decided not to for brevity.

The reality is, if a developer can generate greater reach, it gives more options to the consumer. And so in that regard it does solve a problem for the end user - they have more software options to choose from. Perhaps there is more competition, which I think we can all probably agree is good for users.
Customer Retention Strategy that helps you to boost sales for your business
Generally speaking, the golden rule of public policy is that policy begins where markets fail.

The race to the bottom you're describing is a failure of the market to consider for their customers, and that's where regulation steps in.
You are literally correct, and literally could not be more wrong (and I'm deliberately using both the correct and colloquial - but depressingly also dictionary defined - definition of the word 'literally' there).

Language evolves, and not always for the best.
As others have pointed out, the school was there first. However, that doesn't mean the school can't be moved. Clearly a school shouldn't be this close to a freeway. Either the freeway should be moved, or ODOT should pay to move the school.

Everything. I have databases for home and work. In the home database I have top-level folders for me and my wife (for personal stuff we each might store), documents, invoices and receipts. The Documents folder has all sorts of delineation - banking, animals (pet passports, vaccination history, etc), businesses, insurance, investing, legal, medical, peoperty, radio (N1GMA), taxes, vehicles, vendors, etc. I scan everything. Contracts, receipts for things I might want to return, receipts for tax deductions or expenses, manuals (usually a PDF download), bank statements, property documents, spreadsheets related to home projects, literally everything that exists on a piece of paper that might be valuable in the future. I'm from the US, live in Chile, and have residency in Chile and Panama. There are a lot of legal docs related to those processes that go into Devon. I own a business in Panama, so everything related to that is also stored in Devon. I travel, so if I'm in the US and need a document related to something from another country, I know that it's on my laptop or accessible from my phone via the sync.

I also use Devon to rip web pages, either to save as a bookmark or as a one-page PDF, so when I find something useful for work or around any idea that interests me, I'll put it in Devon instead of a Chrome/Firefox/Safari bookmark. I never remember what's in the URL of a bookmark to search for it, but I do remember the content. I can search in Devon, find the PDF, and if necessary, click the link to go back to the webpage.

I write content for part of my job, so I'll use Devon for brainstorming or outlines, all in Markdown. I've written a little snippet for Keyboard Maestro so the Cmd-N in Devon asks me what type of document I want to create (markdown, plain text, or rich text), and then it creates that in the folder. If I'm doing basic stuff, like taking notes for a meeting, I just work in raw markdown, but if I'm actually formatting something like a blog post, I'll click the "Open Externally" button to open it in Macdown. I'll make action items and after the meeting transfer them to Taskwarrior for execution. I don't need to remember what happened in every meeting - I just need to remember to read the notes.

I'll collect images for blog posts and store the whole thing in a subfolder under Projects/Content/Blog/{article-slug} so that everything is nicely organized. I use the Search function for those "I know I saved something about {foo} a few weeks ago" moments. Otherwise, I jump right to the project I'm working on and am confident that everything related to it is within that folder.

I've had too many times where I've gone looking for something that I saw on my desk a few months back, and it's gone. Invariably I'll have the receipts for every other thing _except_ the really expensive thing that just broke. With Devon I no longer have that problem. I'm pretty disciplined about scanning receipts every weekend, but I definitely have to stay on top of it for the system to really be effective.
> It solves a _development_ problem, in that it reduces the amount of work needed to allow an application to reach a larger number of devices.

That's great for developers, but how does that help users? As a user, I would rather use something built specifically for the device (and os) I'm using, I've used enough things that were supposed to work everywhere that it's a major turn off at this point.

If developers want to share code cross platform, really, the way to do it is write a shared core logic (probably in C, because that is available everywhere), and then write the UI from scratch everywhere, conforming to the platform guidelines (unless it's a media player). It's more work than hoping a write once run eveywhere will work well, but it delivers a much better result.
> across multiple countries

It's really difficult to compare suicide rates across countries, especially across time, because how they count suicide is different in different countries and changes across time.

If they want to earn the ire of the Linux kernel developers, sure. But they won't do that, especially if they employ kernel developers. That's a scummy thing to do.
Why are DOTs still trying to widen highways? There examples after examples that show this doesn't speed up travel times and traffic will suck just as much as before they widened the highway. If we were smart, we'd put that money into public transportation. Portland is a big enough city to support a world class public transit system. Many US cities are, we just choose not too. Portland has an urban population of 1.8 million. Stockholm has only 1.5 million and yet they seem more than capable of funding full subway, bus, and commuter rail systems. Why the fuck can't we? This would do wonders for air quality. And come on, commuters can pay for the air filtration and they should.
You've made some undeniably good points, and it is true that the current state of our country is in many ways lamentable, but a fair analysis of our current condition reveals that the negative news is only half the story; it is important to keep in mind the dualistic nature of our situation, both for ourselves as individuals, and for the greater society we are components of.

Alongside all of the tragedies you mentioned, an entire host of miracles have occurred as well. Technological advances in healthcare show no sign of slowing, market forces (and public pressure) are slowly but surely moving us toward a future powered by green energy, US-based companies are now sending missions to the ISS and mass-producing electric vehicles, and the USA still has the greatest institutions of higher learning in the world. On a minor technical note that may seem insignificant but is near and dear to my own heart: it's 2019 and there are now more flavors of *Nix (and users of the same) than ever before - free software is still going strong despite the tech behemoths' anti-choice tendencies. On the front page of HN right now is a story about the mass exodus of users from FaceBook (an indicator that the public is waking up to the damaging effects of emotionally-predatory social media).

In the political sphere, too, there are signs of significant improvement. The 2018 midterm elections revealed a public who is more informed about and interested in governmental oversight than at any point in the past decade at least, more attention than ever is being paid to white-collar corruption and chicanery, the best efforts of our unindicted co-conspirator in-chief (and his merry band of sycophants) haven't succeeded in quashing the myriad investigations into his (and his family's) business and political activities, and the most popular politician in the country (according to some recent polls) is an avowed anti-corruption advocate who supports universal healthcare, a resolution of wealth inequality, and an end to endless overseas warfare. On your drug points: every major contender for the Democratic presidential nominee (that I'm aware of) favors a rebalancing of federal drug enforcement priorities to bring sanity to the discussion (funding for research into the use of psychedelic drugs for therapy & the decriminalization of marijuana). On the gun front: there has never been more public support for (slightly) more sane gun restrictions than there are now.

There are many places we need to improve, but there is much to be grateful for, optimistic about, and proud of as well. The reason I say this is not in an attempt to refute or mitigate your points, but to emphasize the need to periodically remove oneself from the negative data streams and pay attention to the good evidence as well.
Reading and hearing things like this has always made me feel like any such psychoactive drug is too risky to try. That’s partially because the depression I deal with seems comparatively mild, and I realize other people don’t have the liberty of making such a choice. But it scares me how little we seem to understand about the effects these drugs can have, plus I’m fearful of a situation where I’d be dealing with such withdrawal symptoms and not be able to get any real help.

Sure, all of it might not happen. But if it does it would be a daily nightmare.

I have mixed feelings. It certainly feels like a different experience from most articles (especially BBC ones). Some of the photographs were especially compelling, and I think they'd have had less impact as a sidebar.

It's clear that the goal is to capitalize on the browser medium's differences from traditional print media. It's definitely new/different. I don't think I liked it the first time I saw it but in this case it struck me as notably beneficial.
I don't see why you can't do this now. Draw up an ownership contract and shares etc. This should be workable as long as you don't need a mortgage, and you'll likely need to incorporate, so the deed will be owned by an LLC or some such.
Yes, that's the approach that I'm taking right now. I'm a little afraid that with this method I'm not improving my programming skills.

Passenger cars are a rounding error compared to freight trucks when it comes to pollution and road wear. Rather than waste money trying to squeeze more money out of people commuting to work, perhaps we should jack up the taxes on the freight companies. It may be fashionable to blame car culture, but even people without a car benefit greatly from our transportation system.
In practice it doesn't really work like that. The vast majority of devs and companies using Java were not using an embedded JDK.

So for them, it's moving from a freely available JDK supported for many years, to a JDK that's changing every 6 months.

And the dust is far from settling on which alternative OpenJDK build is stable, reliable and free, long term.

I know that companies should pay for it, but things don't really work like that, see the OpenSSL fiasco.
I recall at least the (now discontinued) Qualcomm Centriq (Falkor) did away with 32-bit ARM (ARMv7, thumb*, etc.) and only supported the 64-bit ARMv8. If the market you're targeting doesn't value backwards compatibility, why bother?

Wouldn't surprise me if there are other A64-only chips as well.
There are also partial fixes to the regressive nature of auto fuel taxes. Credits for low income residents are a simple "fix" (not arguing it's the best approach, just one way to make the tax less regressive).

Or, we can increase (re-implement?) the "gas guzzler" tax. Anything that gets <20mpg (or whatever value) pays an extra annual tax. Removes actual consumption from the scheme, but still provides an incentive to buy fuel-efficient vehicles.

> Sure some people will have more than others, but learning how to make code work is a terrible, terrible process and I’m not sure you can go through it without massive amounts of patience.

I think this is more about being diligent than being patient.

There are plenty (too many?) devs who will diligently try and figure out something but that have no patience when dealing with others.
Omg...so simple...so brilliant.

Agreed; the single most important characteristic of an effective performer is Conscientiousness. Working at a task, measuring the result against a standard, working some more, until its actually really done.

The absence of this causes havok: a task thought done will turn out not-done at the deadline and become an emergency. A feature not measured against all the requirements will fail in test or worse! in the field and cause customer angst and extra cost to everybody.
> They have their own RHEL derivative, would it make life easier for them as well (having an external community committed to keeping ZFS in the kernel tree)?

Oracle Linux uses Btrfs, and Oracle as a company puts more resources into Btrfs than they do ZFS.

They've been committed to Btrfs for almost a decade now, and they're continuing to improve that filesystem and make it solid for their use-cases and their customers.

I think the failure of Windows Mobile 10 could be attributed to UWP in that Microsoft applied it internally, there was no separate Mobile team like with the previous releases of Windows Phone, and as a result, the released OS did not run well on mobile devices until about a year after release. That's what experience has taught me to expect from write once, run everywhere.
You're assuming perfect information in the market. The GP's point is that if there's trickery involved then that assumption doesn't hold. It's not hard to make a hefty profit in excess of risk pricing if you're conning a revolving set of desperate people.
A few of the "highly fractionized" buyers are larger than most first world national health systems, so that can't be the major issue.

No, I really don't- that's why I think it's important that it'd be free. Not every heroin user is under a bridge shooting up with dirty needles; they actually go and buy/exchange clean needles believe it or not. I don't think it's a big jump from there to testing your junk so you can keep your addiction on the down-low rather than having a family member find you blue one evening.

I have the GPD Win that I bought a couple years ago, which is more or a less a Nintendo-DS-Sized computer running "real" Windows, and I love it. I can do programming on the train, even while standing up, as well as use all the tooling that I like, including Vim actually. The only limitation for me has honestly been Windows, since I'm more of a Unixey guy.

Something that has always bothered me is that smartphones are basically supercomputers nowadays, at least compared to what we had in the 90's, but I feel incredibly limited in what I can actually do with my iPhone. I can't easily code stuff for the iPhone in Haskell, I can't open up multiple "tabs" of videos on the YouTube app, and even a lot of the apps that do get ported over end up having incredibly limited "mobile optimized" versions.

I would absolutely love a phone that could let me run the "real" versions of apps when I need to. Ubuntu Touch was trying this, and I honestly don't think I'm unique in this desire.

I went through their whole tutorial video section on the site, and a complementary section on how other people use Devon (author, lawyer, some other types). It took me a couple of nights of watching videos before bed to get my head around it.

Then I created some folders for large groups, like "Documents" at home or "Projects" for work, and broke it down from there. I don't have more than maybe 4 levels under anything, except where there are year/month breakdowns.

AFAIK Devon doesn't work outside of its own folder/database. It doesn't index everything in my ~ for example. I create stuff in Devon or drag stuff into it from outside, holding down CMD so that it moves instead of copies.

Within Devon I'll sometimes need something in two places (all receipts and tax-deductible receipts, for example), so I'll use Devon's "replicate" function to make a pointer to the same doc. For work stuff, I have templates (release_plan.md) that I'll "duplicate" to a new project. As long as they're the same, Devon has an icon that says so, but as soon as I edit one, they diverge into independent docs.

There are far less exploitative options out there for providing this service though. See emerging fintech offerings like: https://www.earnin.com/, https://www.dave.com/. There is also a concept called earned wage access that helps solve this issue and there are a few emerging players in that space as well.

"The invisible hand" isn't perfect and sometimes regulation helps push people towards better options. We don't let anyone provide medical services and assume the market will sort it out, so there is at least a _potential_ argument that the same should be true for financial services.
I'm sure they have prototypes and I'm sure they will consider releasing it if they have a design that works well, but I doubt that a laptop chip will ever be the focus of their main development team.
