I'm an expert in something, and I suspect that you are as well. I don't engage with every argument about my domain of expertise that I encounter, because it would be impractical to do so: I have a finite amount of time and energy, and when I make the contextual determination that the argument is especially ill-informed, or disingenuous, I choose not to engage with it, because I believe that my time and energy is better spent on other ends. I presume you do the same. Is that "just a way of giving yourself an excuse to not engage with opinions cloaked in the veneer of righteousness"?

If I had infinite time and patience then yes, I would engage with all opinions. But I do not.

Being pro/anti specific companies in a very binary way, like you point out, is a false path.

However, placing all companies in the same bucket is committing a similar mistake.

There is definitely a “gradient of morality” amongst companies, despite all of them doing things because they think it is what will make them the most money in the long run.

A company building products that end up aiding the carrying out of genocides, for instance, is clearly on a more extreme end of the spectrum than a company making money selling music streaming subscriptions.

It's no longer that easy now. Most critical things don't suck that hard anymore, so it's hard to find a way to feel special, or feel like it's a special time to be a part of.

Even in startup land most work done is "build this website" or "build this app" - what the software does could be cool and easy enough to get passionate about, but the hope that "we're going to use this code to revolutionize the entire world for the better" that was omnipresent in '90s hacker culture has pretty much been murdered by the sins of Facebook and others in Big Tech. Now it's "what can I do to make sure the stuff I work on hurts the least amount of people as possible?"

I grew up just a few miles from that blue line they drew. I got good grades, went to a good college, and when I was looking for a job it just seemed like all the promising careers weren't in Cincinnati. I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and have lived here ever since.

My little sister had a similar story, but she moved to Chicago. My other little sister had a similar story, and also moved to San Francisco.

San Francisco just has a better economy than Cincinnati. What feels wrong to me is that this better economy is only really open to the top end of jobs.

It isn't that you can't make a lot of money for low end jobs in San Francisco. While you can struggle in Cincinnati to make $20 an hour even with some useful skills, San Francisco gives people $184,000 a year in salary + benefits to pick up poop off the street.

The problem is that high rents prevent people from moving to San Francisco, even if they could make a lot more money here. I feel like one of the best things our country could do for poor people in the middle states is to figure out how to make rent cheaper in the coastal states. Not just for some protected class that happens to currently have rent control, but for everyone who is looking for a better economic opportunity and wants the chance to move to a more vibrant part of the country.
Right, but if you're evicted from a rental your loss is limited to your security deposit. All past rent paid is already a sunk cost, analogous to interest on a mortgage. If you're foreclosed upon you lose any accumulated equity in the house, and have to start again from zero.

It's very similar to margin trading on a stock brokerage, except that margin accounts are generally higher interest and not tax-deductible, while getting margin-called does not affect your credit. In both cases, you forfeit accumulated wealth built up if the market moves against you.
> - I don't see a word about GuixSD there - what's the status of this? Is it also 1.0 now?

Yes. GuixSD is now called "Guix System".

> can I pin my whole config to a particular commit of the package set/channel

Yes, you can. You only need to describe the channels you want to use (and possibly their commits) in ~/.config/guix/channels.scm and then run "guix pull". You now have that particular version of Guix and it won't change until you change the channel specification and run "guix pull" again. That's great for reproducing a system elsewhere or at a different point in time.

> Can I replace kernel with L4Linux

I don't know if anyone has tried.

> Does GNU mirror/archive all package sources used by Guix somewhere

We cache sources for as long as possible on the build farm; we also fall back to looking up sources through Nix caches; and finally we fall back to the Software Heritage archive.

> Can I package non-libre software for Guix? Are there third-party non-libre package sets/channels?

Yes and yes. Adding channels is easy: just add a specification to ~/.config/guix/channels.scm

> Does Guix have something like Nix's home-manager

Sadly it doesn't. I'd love to see something like this in Guix.

ASL and other sign languages are literally languages. There are linguists that study how subfields in linguistics that traditionally only applied to spoken languages (e.g. phonology) have analogues in sign languages[0], so its now widely appreciated that anything expressible in spoken languages as a class is expressible in sign languages. All of that to say "not talking" has nothing to do with talking in a sign language.

John Francis took a vow of silence. He wasn't talking in a non-spoken language; he was not talking. There is a lot you can do with non-verbal communication (i.e. non-linguistic communication, through your body), but that isn't nearly the same thing as speaking a sign language.

There's probably some other explanation. I wasn't under the impression Google employees can just go read your data like this. And if you want to believe imagine they can -- it'd be dumb of them to do it in this fashion. If you didn't leave your number on your emails/website/resumes/Facebook/etc. or given it out previously then maybe the employee got it from someone else who had your number.
Some of this stuff definitely seems weird to me, but at the same time I think the weird stuff is built on true stuff.

I'm definitely skeptical of people selling home designed cryochambers, but cold stress seems to have real benefits[0], and I've found that a cold shower or a cold jog (15-30 degrees F) seems to have the benefits described by the adherents.

Similarly, I doubt I'll ever go on any sort of meditation retreat, but I really enjoy using Headspace[1] and I find it helps me focus when I'm otherwise scatterbrained.

Finally, intermittent fasting seems to get a lot of flack for being a veiled eating disorder, but so far as I can tell, putting your body in ketosis through calorie restriction is the only way to reduce body fat. You can cook three low-calorie meals everyday, but that's time consuming and expensive and terribly inconvenient for family meal planning. It's much easier to eat one normal-sized meal and skip the extra meal planning, grocery shopping and preparation required to eat healthy.

So have I drank the Kool-Aid on this stuff? Maybe. But at this point I'd need more evidence to push me off of it, because the evidence that pushed me on to it has been validated by my own results.

Mostly people moving out. Silicon Valley has an unusually high number of transients in the U.S; when there's a downturn and people lose their job, domestic migrants tend to move back to their parents in other states, or at least go somewhere cheaper. A lot of people lost their job in 2009.

This is also why the rental market was more affected than the housing market: people who owned homes (particularly expensive single-family homes) had already put down roots in the area, and if they were foreclosed upon (and many were), they were replaced by other people who wanted to put down roots but had kept their jobs. The lower-end condo market softened significantly, though, because it draws from a similar demographic as the rental market.

> The “100 mile” regulation was an upper limit on what “reasonable distance” could be. The actual regulation requires the CBP to define “reasonable distance” based on geography.

If what you described reflected reality I'd agree with every word of it. Clearly it's absurd in say the case of Alaskan wilderness to require CBP to setup a checkpoint anywhere near the actual border.

But as you can read in United States v. Martinez-Fuerte[1] the ACLU is more correct than not, although clearly "Constitution-free zone" is a bit of hyperbolic marketing.

The defendant in that case was stopped at a CBP checkpoint halfway up to Los Angeles from the Mexican border. Millions of US citizens permanently live in the San Diego area between the Mexican border and that CBP checkpoint.

I don't see how you can look at a map of San Diego and reasonably conclude that the CBP couldn't do its job using only border stations placed within a mile or two of the border.

> New York City is not within the extended border, even though it’s within 100 miles of the border, and CBP has never claimed otherwise.

So far, but what's at issue is that if they plop down a CBP station between Brooklyn and Manhattan they have existing Supreme Court judgments to back them up.

I personally find this to be a pretty ridiculous comparison. Paltrow runs a massive organization that makes absurd claims about products she sells and she profits significantly from making these unscientific claims.

Dorsey isn't doing any of this. All he does is have his personal way of living in the world (not that I personally agree with a lot of the things he does). He doesn't sell anything related to his silly behaviors. He doesn't profit from any of his silly behaviors. He's just sharing how he personally lives in the world with other people.

To me, this is VERY different than what Paltrow is doing and the comparison is not a good one.
Absolutely the technology has advanced. But a 21" RCA TV in 1956 cost 5,221 - technology is supposed to make things better and cheaper. And it has - according to one study I read(1) significantly so.

It also makes me wonder if those are all entry level jobs or require a lot of experience. If they are available to somebody just starting out, that's one thing.

For me personally, be proactive and step up the communication. You wouldn't hesitate to walk over to a co-workers desk and shoot the shit or ask a question about something, so you can't hesitate to call them either.

It feels weird and intruding to me still after years of doing it, but it works. I don't feel left out, I don't feel isolated, and while I often feel like an annoyance, everyone tells me that isn't the case.

Also, make sure the communication systems work well. It's invaluable to me to be able to make a video call and just have it work, to turn that one on one call into a group call, to share my screen and notes, to know that everyone on the team has a headset and knows how to use it.

Without that, it just makes the communication that much harder, which amplifies those feelings of isolation and being an "outsider".
Your team is doing a shitty job, to be completely honest.

I question their CoL adjustments. The median US rent is ~$1k/month[1], whereas in SJ it's ~$2.7k[2]. That's ~$20k more per year, twice what they adjusted for. ($37k → $47k, or $10k additional CoL expenses.) That's not accounting for any other CoL, such as higher gas prices and CA's higher state tax.

They are both the same. With the "guix system" family of commands you can build containers, VMs, and you can also install a system on bare hardware. Describing it as a package manager really doesn't do the thing justice. You can use all of the "guix system" family of commands even on top of a foreign distribution --- except for "guix system init" which installs the Guix system on your hardware and "guix system reconfigure" which upgrades it on your hardware.

If anything what makes sense are POSIX unikernels, which as the paper mentions, are already a thing.

The Volt was built in Sterling Heights Michigan. It was discontinued because California changed the rules on ZEV credits to where PHEVs were not competitive anymore. I owned a 2017 and it was a great car and EV driving behavior led me to buy a TM3.

The REAL Tesla effect, TM3 if you want, is that the Bolt exists as a two hundred mile plug EV at all. I seriously doubt Chevrolet would have pushed so hard to rework the Spark EV into the Bolt if not for two reasons. First being the PR win over Tesla and second to score more ZEV credits which after 2017 year (2018+) rewarded EVs more points than other solutions.

I like the exterior of the Bolt but hate the interior, from dash to front seats. It is not a purpose built EV and while the packaging is good it could have been better.

GM's mention that future EVs would be around Cadillac were disappointing and there has been zero hint that they will refresh or tweak the current Bolt which is also disappointing.
Wow, is that a normal price though for a 2 year old Leaf? Was it so cheap simply because they depreciate that much?

I imagine much of it would still be under warranty too as well no?
Yeah exactly. It's not that there's no improvement to be had, it's that you're not going to get far if you assume the current system is there to make things harder.

I think part of it is, despite widespread acceptance of puns, most people seem to think English (or any other widely spoken language) is a lot less ambiguous than it really is.

There's a reason legal documents are the way they are as well. Granted in that field there is sometimes incentive to obfuscate your meaning, but I still don't think that's the reason for most of the difficulty in outsiders easily reading and writing legalese.

The fact of the matter is, expressing logic (or music) in words is hard. The more detailed you need to be, the harder it gets. That's why the example of making a sandwich comes up so often in introductions to programming[0]. If people can't express in their native language how to do something they do every day, in an unambiguous enough manner for a "computer" to perform the action, that speaks to a deeper problem than the representation being too hard.

[0]: It's not a great example, because the instructor usually is going to maliciously try to find any logic hole they can, making it feel more like a hazing ritual than a lesson to be learned. But it does come up a lot for a reason.
