> Where it does break down is with excessive fragmentation. A hundred small libraries each doing one thing will get much less corporate support than a single important library that does the same hundred things.

I think you've nailed it; similar patterns have played out with news/blog sites, or even media like music and indie games. The internet has allowed for rich selections of micro-products to pop up, get created, get distributed. But we have yet to solve the problem of getting the money flowing the other way through the same ever-more-fine-grained tree.

It's not that people refuse to pay for their news, it's that they don't want to sign up for and pay for dozens of different sources which they might follow a link to once a month. It's not (primarily) that people refuse to pay for software, it's that people don't want to spend the energy tracking down how to donate a couple dollars to the 100 different NPM dependencies their project has. In all these cases, unless you're a household name, you're going to get lost in the noise.

Ads have traditionally been the workaround for this. They don't require any involvement from users, and they scale based on traffic. I supported Feross' experiment because I see (non-tracking) ads as a necessary evil until we come up with a better solution to this problem.

Proposed solutions include bundles, Patreon, GitHub Sponsors, and what Brave is doing for web content. None of these have changed the equation yet, though, and it's a really vital problem to solve in today's world of content creation.
> It's incredibly difficult to do anything that isn't approved by a doctor. Even lab tests is a huge battle unless you pay out of pocket via mail order.

As your last statement here illustrates, this is because of the way most health care is paid for. In a system where third parties pay for most health care, the doctor has to answer to the people who pay even though they are not the patient. Even if he personally is convinced that a particular experimental treatment is low-risk and has some chance of success, he still has to convince the people who pay, which is a much higher bar.

>That's your problem, American Born Chinese can barely pronounce their own last names right

This is an insult. An almost racial and cultural one as well. For some reason I don't have enough karma to report you but I humbly request someone else to do so. This is not true at all. Many American Born Chinese are Bilingual and speak both languages equally well.

>"Chinese Schools" in America are mostly just a formality.

Chinese schools in America are run by Chinese people who immigrated here so that their children can learn. Almost every ABC went to one. They teach it to their kids the same way it was taught to them.

What in the world do you mean by just a "formality." You mean to say that it's not legit?
Having static IPs on your management devices on a separate subnet and vlan from your regular host ports should mostly mitigate this.
Liberal Paradox
yes. "Most of their competitors... prefer security through obscurity"

Count Texas Instruments ("TI") in this camp.

For example, Josh Wyatt of TI is proud of TI's "black box" approach to security, and even became a bit defensive about TI's closed source / "you don't need to know" aspects of its security for its CC3220 chips:

https://e2e.ti.com/support/wireless-connectivity/wifi/f/968/...

Why the F would anyone use these chips, when you can use a garden variety MCU, use a good TLS stack like WolfSSL or BearSSL, and fully control / own what goes into your product?
Imagine a world where the reliability of your devices significantly depends on how much you paid for your USB 3->4 adapter. Is that a better situation than what we have today?
Of course I read the article.

> Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complicated disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that can't be explained by any underlying medical condition.

https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/about/index.html

and also from the cdc

> Symptoms of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) may appear similar to many other illnesses and there is no test to confirm ME/CFS. This makes ME/CFS difficult to diagnose. The illness can be unpredictable. Symptoms may come and go, or there may be changes in how bad they are over time.
That is really just a symptom of the second problem. Fake news can spread pretty far before it is debunked, but the fake news has to start somewhere. Maybe people get it from some untrustworthy news site, social media, or directly from the mouth of a habitually lying politician, but it almost never originates from a legitimate news source that has the skills, tools, and motivation to better assess the authenticity of the news. If people put less faith in those untrustworthy sources and waited for actual journalism to be done before reacting, fake news would be less of a problem.
In graphical interface automation, compatibility is the limiting factor.

Compatibility has an extremely long tail.

The only companies incentivized to implement support for that long tail are those who derive revenue from doing so.

Testing frameworks, by and large, don't derive revenue from that. Process automation frameworks do.

Ergo, if you're sick of "Oh, well that isn't supported", use the latter, even if for the purposes of the former.
While this is a good best practice, most current BMCs treat the host as trusted, so if BMCs assume the management network it's trusted, you've just provided a path to pwn every machine on your network if only one of them is compromised. So while that's of course a good best practice, it isn't the be-all-end-all of C security (The same point was made during the presentation on this vulnerability at OSFC this morning).

Well, the normality of fridge usage (in developed countries) can’t really be called into question, regardless of how it got that way. But this idea that somebody who’s chosen to live without a fridge can’t understand why somebody could possible want to have one is just completely disingenuous, and honestly it’s a form of rhetoric that’s unsettlingly common here.
Thank you so much for your recommendation. Memex looks great!
If I were you I wouldn't look for a brand explicitly... I'd follow craigslist for bikes that are a good deal.

I got my Trek commuter for $120 (originally $550). People have a tendency to buy things like bikes thinking that they'll use them more than they do (Like those people that buy a guitar so they'll learn to play), a year or two later they end up just selling them to get more space.

Just a thought.

Curious what city you're commuting in though.

I eWasted all my old MS Naturals in favor of the Sculpt. Yeah, the function key switch sucks, but other than that I prefer the sculpt. I see the reduced key travel as a benefit. Extra travel does nothing but slow me down and require me to move my joints more. Sure, I like the satisfying feel of mechanical switches, but not when I'm pushing them thousands of times an hour.
This is very true ! :)

You can save downloads to the Files app, which then has folders for all the storage apps you have installed, like dropbox or icloud or whatever. You can also save to the device local storage, but for some reason only in folders created by other apps.
I know Tridactyl is still installable, but the situation is not exactly reassuring about the viability of the extension in the future. Instead of a future in which Tridactyl asymptotically approaches the smoothness of Pentadactyl/Vimperator, I now have a vision of a future where a moderate-to-high amount of work has to be periodically invested in order to perhaps maintain the same level of functionality.

> On topic, I'd argue that Mozilla are just desperately trying to cling on to ordinary users; the "war" against power users is a war of (totally understandable) neglect rather than spite.

Perhaps, but meanwhile, as we muse about Tridactyl and the abandonment of userChrome and userContent, a thread about the possibility of Firefox removing webRequest in the future rises to #2. It's getting harder to justify Firefox and Mozilla by the moment.
It is of course not impossible, there are unzip apps for iPhone. It’s just a hassle.

Normal people typically don’t want to open zip files on an iPhone and Apple isn’t in the ‘can open any file’ market. They expect others to provide files their devices do open and mostly that strategy works.

At once time in the early 70's DEC was calling the PDP-8 a "your own personal computer" stressing that its cost was such that you could dedicate the entire computer to a single individual, so why not buy several. This as opposed to the PDP-11 or VAX which were 'department' and 'organization' level computers.
It would only be a VLA if defined in a block, I intended the code snippet to be at file-scope, giving the buffer size and array static storage duration.

But it does indeed compile in Clang, and I'm looking into why. I think this line in the C11 standard might be key: "An implementation may accept other forms of constant expressions."

This is huge for Lambda. It allows devs to create “serverless” apps [1], with relational databases, without 10+ second cold-start times. In the article, they measure it as 988ms.

I have tried building an API using API Gateway <-> Lambda, but had to choose between using DynamoDB to store data (no-SQL, so challenging to query) or suffering unacceptably long response times whenever a request happens to cause a cold-start. Theoretically, this problem is now going away!

Go Time 96: Serverless and Go
I'm visibly not German as well, so I understand what you are saying. Though, I believe it is better than non-looking cultures, because now that they are looking I have the chance to portray the image of who I am, which is a non-hostile, open and warm person that I believe to be, and most of the time this non-verbal communication is picked up by the person staring and I get an attitude shift that corresponds to my attitude. If you immediately feel threatened by the stare, that will be displayed on you, and that will make others look at you even more cautiously. It is not the staring the problem, it is the solution. It is a body language and it can be used collectively for acknowledging who is fit and who is not for the community and also a non-violent ostracization when that one feels so uncomfortable that flees. In a non-staring culture, people never get a chance to read you, they simply glimpse and then immediately make a judgement based on their own presuppositions and then treat you as such. Not in Germany, they will stare until they understand.
> Why would anyone want to contribute solutions that others can profit off of for free?

Why does that matter at all? What's wrong with others profiting from something that you can't profit from yourself?

Most FOSS software that is commonly used couldn't be sold for a profit by itself. It wouldn't be used if it wasn't free. Yet, it marginally lowers the cost of software development. The compounding effect of that is massive.

Despite what the GP says, developing FOSS can open up opportunities that you wouldn't otherwise have had. It's just not guaranteed.
Why does USB have two seemingly unrelated versioning schemes? There's USB 1, 2, 3 and now 4 as well as Type A, B and C. This mess looks like manufacturers wanted to create a way to trick the average customer into buying the wrong cable or adapter, whereas initially the reason for creating USB was to increase compatibility.
Stop buying stuff. If you can't do that, stop buying stuff that's incompatible with the stuff you already have.
You know what's nice about USB3 ports though? They're also USB1 and USB2 ports, so they work with like every peripheral made for the last 20 years.

Honestly, I have a new Dell XPS, and in my opinion it has the ideal port combination: 2x USB3, 1x HDMI, 1x USB-C. I'm covered for the past, present, and immediate future. The only loser is a handful of peripherals that plugged into Thunderbolt on my old MBP (basically an Ethernet and Firewire adapter).

I think USB is terrible. One problem is that USB addressing is not by the physical port that it is connected to (among other things, this is a security problem, but there are many other problems with this too); does USB4 correct that? Another problem is how vendor codes and that stuff is work; it should instead be identified by protocol type, and to allow the user to override the protocol type with the operating system functions.

There is other stuff is better, such as RS-232, and Compact Flash (unfortunately it lacks a write protect switch; SD has it but only the full size SD cards and not the smaller size; SD card has other problems though), and then also add some of my own specifications too, such as IMIDI and Digi-RGB, and you can have separate ports for each of these four thing.
Profits are the reason. With so much confusion the safest bet for the consumer will be to use the cabling from the vendor of the device.

Vendors in turn can charge more.
C-41 is easier to scan because you can use IR cleaning with C-41. This technique is impossible with traditional B&W film.

> Every scanner has settings for both black and white and color neg.

The fact that your scanner “has a setting” just means that people want to use the scanner for this purpose. It does not inform you which alternative you should choose.

> Plus, scanning "black and white" shot on C41 introduces a host of issues into post-processing.

I can't imagine even one issue in post-processing. Once you scan it the film, you get a monochrome image. With C-41, the post-processing is easier because you don't have to do as much manual cleanup (due to IR cleaning, above).

Speaking as someone who has an entire shelf dedicated to binders of film—B&W is much worse to scan than C-41. I personally shoot mostly traditional B&W but I recognize that my use case is different from most.

I hope no one seriously relies on any of these products in any secure application. Indeed, many of the vendors in that thread described how they are moving away from the chip due to TI's asinine stance on the issue.
The problem with private corporations is they typically are after profits, and the best way to lose profits is to provide under-served communities with the same services you use for wealthier ones. If you want to make money, you need to focus on where the most people with the most money live, and let the poor and inconveniently located flounder in their ghettos of transportation isolation. Which is where we are today.

We already have private mass transit, in the form of bus and shuttle companies, and we had it in the form of trains. The trains collapsed and the government bailed it out as Amtrak. The buses basically only serve pockets of commuters who don't drive, and the companies may receive subsidies.

I don't see why you think the government is standing in the way. The way is just not profitable (or in the case of contracted companies, sometimes a little too profitable)
