It took me some time to form the argument. I dont really see how fuschia targets linux on the server or windows on the desktop, it is never mentioned to be the on the backend and no features are ground-breaking for the backend. All the usecases are for mobile platforms - the android. Ok it may be the case android and fucsia have no common code, no common architecture and no common people.

But that does not mean that they dont target the same devices, the same market and the same use-cases.
Understandable but a bit disappointing, just like Caddy.

With Caddy I'm fairly certain I donated (as did others, including Mozilla). I guess my contribution didn't mean much but it still felt weird.

With Handsontable we recommended it at a project and made sure to get commercial licenses - because it was open source.

That said, when I recommend open source at work it is not because of the price but because of peace of mind it gives.
It might have been an initial cause, but treating it as a root cause now would exacerbate the problem. Every supply restriction makes it a more lucrative business to be in.
Google has been a Linux user since before it even existed [1], and has been almost exclusively a Linux shop since: Linux servers, Linux desktops (Chromebooks, Goobuntu, Whatever debian testing derived distro they are using now is called), Linux based phone OS.

So I'd say for most of its business activities, Google is actually okay with the GPL, otherwise they'd have rewritten it a long time ago. Given the size of Google and how important Android is to them, I think they'd have prioritized Fuchsia OS far more if their bottom line were really affected.

There is a point with drivers, as Fuchsia has better support for proprietary drivers than Linux and IIRC one of the Android modifications was to add HALs to the kernel to make proprietary drivers easier. But it's not a killer argument, after all they figured it out for Android.

Their business intent with Fuchsia is definitely not clear so it's a honey pot for speculation. I don't know. Maybe they wanted to diversify their approaches and have something if the Android kernel fork gets more and more patches and eventually backporting becomes impossible and they need to maintain it on their own now. Maybe they just want to be upstream as it involves a great deal or power that you have. Maybe it's part of a deal with a hardware vendor who wants their driver to become proprietary in the future.

Google's works with JS, though, right? It's not a service where you feed it a request and it responds how likely that request is to be spam, right?

I know JS is probably better for this, since you can do all sorts of things like measure how the user types and scrolls and whatnot.

Marketing the myth of serotonin, the ‘happy chemical’ (2015)
I always get annoyed when I see people repeat the quote "you could encounter other players, but the likelihood is so tiny" as though he was promising see-your-friends-multiplayer.

The context of that quote was that Sean was explaining why the game had multiplayer elements like naming rights for discoveries in a shared universe but the gameplay was primary about solo exploration. It was clear that he wanted to push the benefits of "shared universe" as a form of multiplayer but as for literally seeing your friends, he was trying to say "we could code it into the game but we think it's too unlikely so we won't".

It's obvious that Murray has problems directly saying no. He repeatedly said "rare", meaning "never". That was his crime.
It's the latter. You import protobuf specs (compiled into golang). You build a runtime that imports the specs and they're available in the python interpreter.

My team uses Helm extensively and will probably stick with it for the time being as it seems to have the most traction at the moment. As an example, MSSQL isn't a part of my core stack, but occasionally data engineers get databases from folks that they need to extract data from. Helm allows me to get one running in approximately 2 minutes or less. For many of the core components of our infrastructure we can deploy similarly quickly. We do our best to track stable for those charts. This is the tremendous advantage of helm.

Unfortunately, many of those stable charts for core infrastructure are barely POC-worthy and take a great deal of effort to get into production state. For example, there is no helm chart for Kafka with TLS support. Maybe not necessary for every production implementation, but dammit, this is 2019.

That said, helm is not safe. A helm "release" is not an artifact. It's a deployment of a helm chart of a certain version. That helm chart version may or may not correlate to the underlying version of the software you're running as that artifact is presumably defined with an "image" in values.

For example, I've run the same aforementioned MSSQL helm chart with 2017-CU7-ubuntu, 2017-CU8-ubuntu, and 2017-CU9-ubuntu tags. A quick "helm list" might show you the same chart version across three different environments but they're still very different.

Helm is not idempotent. Helm upgrade is a nightmare. One has to perform a helm upgrade to set values. Helm upgrades often fail. Even though they report failure, a look under the hood reveals that it actually succeeded.

Occasionally a helm upgrade blows away the persistent volume attached to a stateful thing. That's always the best.

tl;dr helm is the most popular, but has some massive shortcomings so we're all looking for something to replace it and kustomize is exciting because it's now for better or worse part of the core.

> Is this why nothing has really come from Mach/Hurd?

Mach 3.0 was the kernel used in NeXT and the original Mac OS X release. It was quite a bit later replaced with a rewritten kernel XNU, that’s basically a hybrid. The reason as I understand it, message passing in the kernel is expensive when crossing user space so often.

I wouldn’t call that nothing coming of Mach, it did really well!

Also, I’d say that micro-kernels are closer to the paradigm of react/redux (redux the message bus, react the user space servers) than to a monolith design like Linux.
The pattern of Helm template + Kustomize is operationalized with Ship: https://github.com/replicatedhq/ship plus some other functionality to automate pull requests from upstream updates.
The difference is that the subway ticket directly finances your subway ride. It's just like how a private subway company would have financed it, so calling it a "tax" just because the train is run by a government entity is a bit weird.
Deets would be appreciated. Sounds interesting.

I don’t know if I like your model. I would say tax things in order to remove negative externalities, then people will decide what they want more of.
In some ways it's more like how politics used to be. Before entire parties were expected to be perfectly on message for every minor policy. Not exactly independent, but a little freedom to act and think.

The message may not be to get rid of politicians, but perhaps that a major weakening of the party system is called for. Getting rid of career politicians might be a good move though.

Course I wouldn't expect any party with realistic chance of government to favour either those or PR. I can hope though... :)

This is an oversimplification. The AK-47 and AKM both fired a full-size 7.62mm rifle cartridge. The US battle rifle going into Vietnam was the M-14, a full-auto iteration on the venerable M1 Garand rifle that also fired a full-size 7.62mm rifle cartridge.

The key innovation was to instead use an intermediate-sized 5.56mm cartridge, which the Soviets didn't do until the AK-74 in 1974, a full decade after the M16 went into service.

The US had been circling around the "assault rifle" concept for some time prior to encountering the Kalashnikov in the field. In 1945, just as WWII ended, the M2 Carbine went into service. Like modern assault rifles, the M2 Carbine had select-fire capability and fired an intermediate-size cartridge. In this case, it fired the .30 Carbine cartridge popularized by its predecessor the M1 Carbine. (In this respect it was similar to the German StG 44, which was chambered in a "short" 7.92 mm cartridge instead of the 7.92 Mauser cartridge used by the Karabiner 98k.)

In Korea, the .30 Carbine cartridge noticeably underperformed, which motivated a migration back to full-size rifle cartridges--in this case, the 7.62 NATO, a more compact ballistic near-equivalent to the .30-06. (The Chinese and Koreans, like most countries in WWII, tended to stick to either submachine guns or bolt-action rifles which were still outgunned by the Garand.) Select-fire capability was reintroduced with the M-14 in 1959, which was also intended to replace the venerable WWI-era Browning Automatic Rifle.

Curiously, a predecessor of the M16 was the AR-10, which also fired the 7.62 NATO cartridge and competed in the 1956 trials where the M-14 design was ultimately selected. Despite the high performance and accuracy of the AR-10, the design was not yet reliable and mature, leading the military to make the conservative choice of adopting the M-14 instead. When the military decided to transition to an intermediate-size cartridge later on, the AR-10 was adapted into the AR-15, which is the basis design today for the M16 rifle, M4 carbine, and (with significant modifications!) the M27 IAR.
Shouldn’t gasoline taxes just cover the direct negative externalities of gasoline, namely the environmental and health impact of creating and then burning the gasoline?

Agree, android drivers/blobs were not much use in linux space => hence, the whole premise of android==linux, backporting features from android to linux was never an option. The ones who used rpi, or even cheap chinese android tables wo/ linux support can relate.

Yes, google have nothing against GPL, but still GPL/agpl/lesser gpl are licenses that place specific limitations on a company modifying the original work. There are alternative licenses that do not.
Do gas taxes even pay for the negative environmental and health externalities of producing and burning the gas, regardless of road wear? I don’t have a source, but I highly doubt they do.

The reality is that we're here and it's now and everyone already owns a smartphone and you can enrich people's world with an app that helps them find love, participate in community, develop a hobby, find a new podcast, expand their mind, discover their creativity, track their ambitions, and more.

There's a lot of crap, too, but there's no sense throwing the baby out with the bathwater and then sitting around hoping things change. There's a world you can engage right now, and it's indifferent to your ideals.

I'm surprised that no nation or union (ie EU) has fought this. If people exchange phone numbers, are they also giving each other implicit rights to share them with anyone else? If not, shouldn't platforms that enable this en mass be reprimanded for it?

It is currently impossible to remain anonymous, regardless of whether you participate in the system or not.

In my case, given the density of my network on social media, and their propensity to fall for dark patterns that siphon private information - had I never owned a computer and lived off the grid, all the major tech companies would still know my: name, age, address, contact info, hometown, family members, income bracket, ethnicity, general dna (many family members did dna tests), and more.

Shouldn't I have a say in any of that? Shouldn't things like address book importing be restricted/illegal?

I’ve always thought that proponents of “embodied cognition” are onto something. Like the whole field of so-called machine learning is missing something fundamental about how humans learn. This article provides a cogent explanation for what could be missing.

“When children are learning their first language, Macedonia argues, they absorb information with their entire bodies. A word like “onion,” for example, is tightly linked to all five senses: Onions have a bulbous shape, papery skin that rustles, a bitter tang and a tear-inducing odor when sliced. Even abstract concepts like “delight” have multisensory components, such as smiles, laughter and jumping for joy. To some extent, cognition is “embodied” — the brain’s activity can be modified by the body’s actions and experiences, and vice versa. It’s no wonder, then, that foreign words don’t stick if students are only listening, writing, practicing and repeating, because those verbal experiences are stripped of their sensory associations.“

Frankly I find this explanation very convincing. I have absolutely no idea how one would go about trying to design intelligent machines using embodied cognition. Feels like we are light years away from anything close to this, which is why no mainstream AI researchers are working on it or even discussing it as far as I know. Would love to see some counter examples if anyone is more knowledgeable about the space.
What is interesting about this bug, except that it is 14 years old?
For the things that change frequently, guardrails can be built (extra testing, extra safety). But over time most configuration ends up stable, with the changes not being wild-wested, in my experience.
I'm super interested in the work you're doing. I spent a couple of weekends building bindings and trampolines to get Rust binaries linked into Chibi/OS and FreeRTOS and it worked really well. I've always wanted to work with seL4, so I downloaded the source and started working through the tutorials and... oh dear. There ended my experiments trying to add Rust into the mix. So if there's any way I can subscribe or otherwise keep abreast of the work you're doing, I'd love to do that.

As an aside, I wonder just how much async/await in Rust will obviate the need for small kernels in deeply embedded applications. If I can do blocking IO with my peripherals and use the async state machines to do "task" switching, well... who needs tasks and capabilities? It'd land somewhere on the "language OS" side of an embedded OS almost.
If I'm making millions, I'm doing it very gradually. And I am looking for other opportunities. But I should clarify that I don't work from 8am to 1am every day - I probably have one 8am meeting a week on average, and the late nights ebb and flow with the projects I'm working on. The rest of the time, I work roughly 9:30 to 5. I still work more hours than I'd like, and the occasional time-sensitive, coding-heavy projects are brutal, but it's not as bleak as my last comment suggests.

I sincerely appreciate the reminder though - thank you.
It does, you can download an apk and install it on Android.
You're just running helm charts directly from the public repo? I assume so since you say customization is a nightmare.

I use helm fetch and pull the charts with dependencies into my repo. Running direct from the public repo is a little bit too much like piping the contents of a url to bash without checking first.

You can then customize however you like.

When I want to update the charts, helm fetch it again and merge the changes.
If there’s an efficient and reliable way to tax usage directly, I think that’s always the better alternative. Social benefits like police, firefighting, 911 service, etc. are intended to be paid for with wealth distribution, at least to cover the least fortunate members of society (whether ones agrees with that policy is another matter).

But roads don’t really work like that. There’s no “social benefit” that wouldn’t already be priced into everything that derived benefit from the roads. If government road subsidies make road freight cheaper, charging those freight companies for their own usage would make prices reflect actual costs. We could still have redistributive social benefits for things like the road wear caused by police cars, but again, that’s a separate issue.

You’ve missed the analogy.

The existence of radios shows that being able to interfere with a signal locally via one mechanism (interfering with the radio electronics) doesn’t entail it’s generated locally by that process — the local process can merely be translating between media, eg light and sound.

Unfortunately, this pokes a hole into the logic that thinking is necessarily local, because it was depending on clinicians interfering locally to show that brains are a local phenomena — but that reasoning doesn’t apply generally, eg, in the case of radios.

You’re correct that we know the brain is going to be doing some kind of transducing, but that doesn’t mean it’s doing the thinking — it could merely be a relaying device between whatever generates thought and the body, like a radio translating between EM and sound.
> Very likely, but you can chart the actual funding over time, whereas a sudden spike in incompetence and corruption seems somewhat unlikely.

Sure. There are likely many reasons why it's so bad. But the solution is to fix it, not penalize people because they use the obvious alternatives that are much better.
Did you get reinstated eventually?
You can do all of that, just download the apk. What you seem to want is that app stores should be forced to accept any apps?

We ( https://sheetjs.com/ ) started from a series of open source projects (our largest https://github.com/sheetjs/js-xlsx has more than 15K stars) and offer a slew of related solutions, including more advanced builds of our open source offerings as well as complementary software.

The ratio of customers to open source users is largely useless. To "convert" users, you need to offer something above and beyond what is available in the open source offering. Unless you have something compelling, people won't "convert" out of altruistic desires. Unfortunately that's not how business works. We found many companies deciding to fork our open source libraries before even considering contacting us (for example, the John Deere homepage https://www.deere.com/en/ uses a forked version of our open source offering)

To "increase the conversion rate" you have to either improve the value of the commercial offering or cripple / remove the open source offering. They seem to be doing the latter.
Nah "f(n) is said to be in O( g(n) )" formally speaking but practically speaking an algorithm in some production code that runs in O(n log n) vs one that runs in O(n^2) are not the same thing at all.

That would be a sign that you as a candidate are being needlessly pedantic and usually a red flag.
It's not hard to take apart a rifle, see how it works, and build a replica. The Japanese did that with the M1 Garand, actually. So it's hard to see how "open source" is a very meaningful concept.

I’m confused, why would they sell large portions of equity (for billions) if they didn’t plan on spending those billions? So by definition any company that raises billions is planning on being unprofitable (by billions) or they wouldn’t raise money right?

Companies don’t sell equity for fun, they only do it if they have no other choice (they aren’t profitable yet, or they plan to become unprofitable due to new expansion. For the latter they may be able to raise debt instead of venture capital investment) right?
I agree that the appeals decision is a little bit tricky and that asking for an ID is probably the best option in those cases. But I'd bet that some very basic, sensible validation would have reduced the number of those cases by orders of magnitude.
