Maybe different kind of newspaper? Like a tabloid compared to a respected paper, but that is just an educated guess, I don't know the actual story.
Web dev seems to be the majority, but there is plenty of work out there in other sectors, eg. banking, finance, day trading, emergency services (my field). The jobs are out there but you have to look for them. And oftentimes they can be much more secure than a role in a startup as well.

It really depends on your skillset. I've got over 20 years experience, and honestly, I don't feel like I have the skills that most startups need either, nor the desire to forgo a decent salary in the hope that they "make it big" someday.

I think the sizing issue is due to vanity sizing, a lot of brands label their denim jeans the wrong size. The so called size 36 or 38 are probably actually 38 and 40 respectively. A few international brands like Levi's don't seem to do vanity sizing.

I have a folder `~/Projects/KB/<Subject_Area>/'
with the usual subfolders:

- Documents: my notes, Anki flash card files

- Books: Related to that subject area

- Sources: one off PDF's, or PDF exports of interesting articles on the web

- Papers: that I read related to that subject area

- Code: which contain git repos of code that is related to any of Books/Documents/Sources/Papers.

The idea is all related to one 'Subject_Area` in one directory. I have a large private KB directory hosted on `Gitlab` and backed up to the cloud/2 local disks.
Same here. I just got a 2019 MBP to replace my 2014. I type without looking and I find the keyboard very pleasant (I love the soft click feel and sound). Now I can’t say for the durability but first impression is very good.
You’re stuffed, you’re supposed to only exchange the physical instrument so you’d be liable for fraud.
The Cherry G80 with blue switches (I believe) I shortly used at a startup gig last year actually was at Model M level, sans the typing noise/headache. Saying this as someone who actually used Model M keyboards in 1991-3 on PS/2 50 and 80 PCs.

I find it funny that I type "git cheat" where you type "cheat git".

I like your technique better, as you can easily add more technologies to the mix.

What happens if you type "cheat" with no parameter? Does it list all of the cheat sheets? (i.e. ls data/cheatsheets/*)

> Linux is a kernel, it’s not a way of life.

You're being disingenuous. Linux users are users of Linux and software that runs on Linux.

In the context of service deployment, this clearly refers to users who need to deploy Linux VMs to run software that runs on Linux.

The kernel is irrelevant. This use case clearly refers to Linux distributions, which nowadays probably means Debian or a Debian-based distro. So obviously in this context a Linux users means someone who needs to deploy a Debian-based distro on VMs to deploy and run software on it. In fact, more often than not when people refer to running Linux they are actually implying that they need to deploy and run software on a specific ecosystem, such as a combination of a package manager, package repository, service manager, and even f

Does Apple not offer a loaner laptop during that period? If not, I'm quite unimpressed. These laptops are expected to be purchased by working professionals... what does Apple imagine is the customer workflow when an issue arises? Pause your work while the laptop is in repair?
How do you know who is a legitimate dev and who is a scammer posing as a legitimate dev, to know when to work with someone, or to withhold information that would expose secret filters that you use?

Mind, it's not that this dev got one app banned, he got ALL of them banned. There is an appeal process when you gone one banned, but he got multiple violations. He got all the violations in a span of hours, so he got unlucky to be a corner case that the regular appeal process no longer works for him. So you might argue that the appeal process is not flexible enough, but then the question is what would be flexible enough? So no matter for how long you're tweaking it, you're gonna have corner cases that will make people unhappy.

On the adsense scam, I hear the reports, but I've not seen Google lose in a small-claims court yet. Given the amount of money Google makes on there, I doubt that the revenue from running such a scam would even register as a blip, never mind the reputation hit they would take should it be ever proved true.
Earlier this year I was looking for a specific book from the early 2000's. It was priced around $60-$100+ at most of the used book sites, which I thought was rather excessive for what I assumed was a little trade paperback.

After a few months a copy turned up on ebay for $15. I looked into the seller, thrift.books (mentioned in this story), decided I wasn't taking advantage of a little mom-and-pop bookseller, and purchased it. It was indeed a little trade paperback.

While most of this type of book would go for a penny, this one is valued much higher because of the chemical recipes. The author was somewhat miffed at the profiteering taking place in his industry, and told his audience how to reap the benefits of the book without being ripped off.
If you’ve ever watched a QuakeCon talk, this is pretty much what you’d expect.

I use a MacBook Pro and a Air 2019, because I dislike the touchbar. I really like the keyboard feeling (especially the Air one) and reading these posts I wonder if someday it’s going to break.
I'm off the Apple train. I honestly don't trust them to make reliable hardware anymore. They've had three years to fix this mess but they have shown zero initiative or intention to do it.

Apple has consistently shown that it cares more about form over function. No one needs their laptops to be any thinner than they already are. And no one needs the useless, expensive touchbar.
> Everything can be done with the keyboard

This is it for me, really. Whilst it makes it me two or three orders of magnitude slower when I have to "drive" someone else's machine, not having to switch to a mouse/trackpad really just smoothes things over and prevents jumping me outside of my "zone".

French baguette by law can only consist of wheat, yeast, water and salt. Since there are no addatives, the bread goes stale pretty fast.

The same goes for supermarket bread vs fresh bread from the baker's: supermarket bread is better suited for freezing and thawing later compared to fresh bread from the bakery. The latter tastes much better, but has to be eaten the same day.

OpenSolaris is still alive via forks and parts of it are routinely distributed with Linux and BSDs. Solaris is still proprietary, of course, and is as niche as AIX.

What is concerning here is that opening SPARC did not create a vibrant ecosystem of SPARC parts and computers, which is a shame.

As I see, IBM has the high end well covered with POWER9 and 10 and I'm not sure the embedded PowerPC crowd is that interested in big brother's ISA.

The key difference can be that while SPARC was stagnant when it was opened, POWER is extremely successful (and took over much of what was previously owned by SPARC and HP)
I am rocking 2015 15" and I fear the moment when it breaks.
Oh it will. I thought the keyboard was okay at first. But my spacebar key gave in within 4 months. Apple took two full weeks to fix it. They made no promises that it won't happen again.
Right now, the status quo is that maintainers create massive amounts of value and then for-profit companies and SaaS startups capture almost all of it.

I use the AGPLv3 for most of my software, because I don't work for free, for the most part, and want to use the strongest copyleft license available to ensure this. That parasitic corporations fear copyleft and the AGPLv3 in particular is just icing on the cake.

If you don't want your software used in this way, then don't use a permissive license. I sometimes use the most permissive licensing, the CC0, when I write something truly trivial and don't believe I could get away with making it copyleft. Perhaps you understand this general approach, but also that people would simply use a different implementation of your libraries if you did this is the issue here. You don't mention Free Software once this entire article though, so I find that unlikely.

But telling maintainers to bury their appeals where no one bothers to look is not the answer, either.

I vehemently oppose giving Github even more influence in the form of financial payments to its users. That's asinine and I refuse to use Github.

No one knows the value of a sponsor message in the terminal since this has never been tried before. That’s why this was an experiment.

The value is nil. I don't need to take a flame to a rabbit to know it will burn.

Fellow open source maintainers and open source contributors have, by and large, been supportive of the experiment. Open source “consumers”, not so much.

I'm not an open source maintainer, but I write Free Software libraries and I've voiced my opinion in the other thread here. This paragraph creates the impression only those who don't contribute disliked what you did. For the record, I found it and continue to find it suitably amusing.

Many supporters expressed their dislike of advertising – even advertising where the sponsors are carefully selected and the implementation does not track users or collect data.

Advertising is inherently awful and nothing will change that.

Approximately 100% of the Fortune 500 use open source code. Maintainers are just starting to wake up to our own power. Expect to be surprised. This certainly won’t be the last open source funding experiment.

I suggest investing in Free Software and not open source; is it any surprise that the rebranding of software freedom specifically tailored to corporate interests encourages this?

Even for simple single-purpose packages, there’s a non-trivial ongoing maintenance burden. Especially when you’re maintaining hundreds of packages, as many in the Node.js community do.

I've taken a look and I could probably claim hundreds of packages as well, if I wrote many, trivial packages, which is most of what I saw under your name. I currently have five libraries, two or three of which are somewhat trivial, not counting complete programs and other such things. It seems unfair to claim hundreds of packages when many of them seem so trivial and this is also never mentioned.
Are the people driving really that much more expensive than the computers, tooling and infrastructure for automated cars? How do the maintenance costs compare? There's a lot more to it than just the drivers.
This I read by the way from the book "The hidden impact". There's a digital version in English on the website https://babetteporcelijn.com/en/. It has a lot of data that tries to help people to make sustainable impact that matters.

Note that I'm not against electric cars at all. I'm only talking about pollution of microplastics. Not pollution in general.

Of course it's hard to tell if people downvote because they disagree with me or because there are actually falsehoods in my comment. If it's the latter it's either: 1) electric cars are not heavier, or 2) tire wear due to additional weight is neglectable. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps it's my filter bubble, but I only find articles that support my statement [2]. I quote:

"For energy use, the weight is less of a problem than for gasoline cars. They waste the increased energy used to accelerate the higher weight. But the momentum of an electric car lets you return energy to the battery as the car slows. The heavier the car, the more energy it takes to accelerate—but the more you return to the battery commensurately through regenerative braking.

Of course, if you pay six figures for a high-performance electric car (think Tesla Model S P100D) and use its capabilities, you should expect to replace your very expensive low-profile tires every 15,000 miles or so. That's par for the segment."

I refused to upgrade due to touch bar/esc key absence and the keyboard fiasco is a big no for now. I did hope for a major redesign this fall, but it seems I will have to wait much longer.

Macbook Pro has been my companion since 2005 and I feel like Apple is doing everything they can to make me switch to Linux. My current, fully loaded 15 inch MB Pro from late 2013 started having serious battery issues and I hope it will survive until redesign is introduced. Although given the recent breakthroughs in Apple product lines I suppose they will drive me even further away from them :-(
There are plenty of logging stacks to choose from. I've used Elastic a lot and it has improved a lot. You can spin up a cheap cluster for under 200$ and start instrumenting your servers to send stuff to it. You'll want to set up index life cycle management to ensure you don't run out of disk space on your cluster. You scale by throwing more money at it. Basically you need to think in terms of millions of messages per day and retention periods. A 200$ cluster should be able to retain tens of millions of messages.

That's how you get started. There are plenty of tools on this stack to do APM, security auditing, request logging, etc. If you are using a decent application server stack that produces metrics, it can handle those too.

What worries me is that SPARC was already opened and that failed to create a market for SPARC devices. It could be that now the open source market is mature enough to drive many competing implementations of POWER to fill niches IBM can't.
Personally, if you’re trying to inject advertising scripts into my critical infrastructure, then no, I absolutely don’t trust you. Like many others, I put a lot of effort into trying to sanely manage my dependencies, finding adware in there would be an enormous red flag.

You’re probably a good person, and you seem to be trying to do something good. But I know almost nothing about you, and even if I did, the fact that you think build pipelines are a good place for adware instantaneously eliminates any trust I might ever have in your judgement.
This also makes me feel even more strongly that the FTC should really clamp down on these very strict app stores.

https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/amicus_briefs/app...

Both the App Store and Google Play stores I think are basically illegal monopolies. I should be able to install whatever app I want, without having to jailbreak my phone and deal with warranty nonsense from the manufacturer. Just like my computer, which I can also install whatever software I want on it.

Both the mandatory fees, and the review policy are terrible. Both Apple and Google could just as easily "recommend" an app as "safe and following best practices" rather than banning them from the app store. And still, many apps get through the nonsense, which has been real joy for scammers and possibly illegal money laundering:

I've used this exact setup without problems since 2016 now. I had to upgrade Dell's EFI BIOS, upgrade kernels (b/c Skylake), and upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 once it came out. I remember a very early trackpad driver having serious problems with keeping state, but that went away with a driver update within a week. Never got a problem with the lid; maybe check BIOS settings? It's true that the XPS's trackpad and Linux' power management isn't as nice as Apple's (because nobody's is).
The software is becoming a deal-breaker as well. Every upgrade seems to break things to the point that I don't even upgrade anymore.

I've also felt that window management is better in Windows than in OS X. Multitasking feels faster and more intuitive on Windows 10.
First general strike was on August 5th. It wasn't universally supported, but much public transport was paralysed - my company is very neutral politically, but they put out a general "work at home if you think it's necessary" announcement. There's another one scheduled for next week...

Nobody has been anywhere near a runway, and it would be very hard to argue that they shouldn't be shot if they tried, but Hong Kong Airport was shutdown twice by the government because of protests there.

Ports, meh, it's just cargo, nobody cares. Port workers went on strike a few years ago and companies just rerouted.

Many highways have been blocked for short periods in 2019, and in 2014 major roads on Hong Kong Island were occupied for months.

The economic impact so far has been modest, but noticeable. The overall state of the regional and global economy is a much bigger factor in Hong Kong's economic situation.

We don't want anyone to die, police or protester. There have been cases where that has been a real possibility, recently, and that's mostly the red line that nobody wants to cross.
