But you don't know which contributors you'll lose if you change the project. I remember when FreeBSD added in their controversial new code of conduct, and some existing maintainers left. People keep acting like getting rid of a divisive leader will either result in improvements, or the status quo, but it could also cause the project to get worse.
I like the idea. But I ask (not being annoying), do we really need it? Seems like having all of that more distributed in the hands of users would be a better protection against unavailability.

Yes, and if you buy a can of Coke at the store with the proceeds of the sale, you're then triple taxed when you pay sales tax, and then the business owner is quadruple-taxed when he books some part of it as a profit, just like his supplier is quintuple-taxed when he is paid by store owner for the Coke supply, and so on, and so on.

Clearly, this is absurd: it is universally recognized that transactions often create tax events. There's no "double taxation" rule that doesn't allow "the same money" to be taxed twice, it's just we don't tax the same transaction twice.
Heh - I helped out on the port to 80GB video which came with a rather odd ATA controller on it that didn't work with the first cut of the ATA driver that Rockbox had been shipping with before the 80GB model came along.

Fun times. Still have loads of friends from the dev crowd, including Daniel Stenberg, who is better known for curl - but was also one of the original Rockbox hackers. :D
I think the really obvious point is that there is actually a middle way. You don't need authoritarian enforcement of speech, you need communities willing to just step in and say "That's not appropriate". Someone confident and willing to just step into a Torvalds rant and say "Hi Linus, let's step away from the technical issues, this isn't the way you should be communicating your issues". Often here what we're seeing is that these bad acts are actually allowed to continue by the community and only challenged by the people at the receiving end of the attacks.
Question then. Why has it taken the airing Stallman's dirty laundry to step forward? What has stopped you (that is, the "we" and "us" from your statement) from standing out on your own merits before now?
This is pretty interesting. At work we run a few dozen cache nodes serving several million QPS during peak. We were debating switching some of this workload to memcached from redis - but this may be a viable alternative.
Does anyone not read into the sarcasm? This is the same cliche format stating that x is better than y, in such a manner to supposedly shame people still using y.

Pretty much every city in North America is like this to varying degrees.

I've always wondered how Toronto manages to build a hundred giant buildings while most cities only have a few going at a time, with a few exceptions (note NYC has 3x the population of Toronto): https://www.remonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Diagram...

I'd imagine if there wasn't this sort of arrangement basically every growing city would be developing 10x more buildings than they currently are (at least).

While Seattle still has a ton of work to do, is much more progressive on these issues than they Bay Area, and it’s getting better, not worse.
Can you extrapolate about the link between whistle-blowers and the definition of censorship?

It's unclear to me what point you're intending to make.
The screenings are to prevent people from stealing things. There is no OSHA problem, you can leave the building through fire exits at any time, but they will set off alarms.
In 1950, the top marginal tax rate was 91% on income over ~$2M in 2013 dollars.
No 6502, either. There aren't many 8 bit CPUs that are considered a reasonable platform for any UNIX. Which is why I think I'd prefer 68000 family. It's "modern enough" to use with modern compilers and operating systems, but simple enough for a one man garage shop to build/maintain a computer that uses it. I guess earlier 80x86 chips could fit that bill, too, but 68000 has a better assembly language.
Usually the idea behind a doomsday vault is that you're keeping everything securely in one place in case there is widespread disaster that sufficiently wipes out the distributed knowledge. They're not mutually exclusive.
You would probably need 30,000 million a day but then other parts of your setup would fail. Redis being the bottleneck is an unusual case.

The same way you prove cost basis; if you have adequate records of one, you’ll pretty invariably have both.
Considering that a big chunk of what was publicized was lies and deliberate misquotes, I think it'd be best if the GNU project said specifically what their issues are.

I see this as an essentially "internet" reaction. It is cowardly in the extreme. I doubt any of these people would say to Stallmans face the things their letter implies. Furthermore twitter etc act as an amplifier for whatever words you throw in it, and as the news networks and talk show hosts figured out years ago, outrage sells. There's also white-knighting, probably a consequence of social awkwardness and discomfort, because nerds grow up but they may not grow out of it.

Sad and cowardly, hardly surprising.
There have been a number of attempts at this over the years with Rockbox (not sure about recent years though as I no longer hang out in the dev channel on freenode). All of them came to naught eventually though.

Exactly. I have some remote folks on my team, and folks rotate in and out of being remote on a daily basis. So we do that, but I renamed it to "daily status" since we are not standing up and no one is. We conduct it all 100% over the computer, so those remote don't feel left out. We keep it on track and for us we do it right after around lunch. So people have things they have worked on for the day and things they need to do after. Doing it in the beginning of the day forces everyone to come early defeating flexible time. Doing it at end is the same, and if you're blocked it's silly to wait till the end of the day to tell the team. It's just another tool in the box, if it works for your team great. if it doesn't, shed it. Attitude can determine how useful things are.
Then the anti RMS group could create a blog post that is 100% factual and fake. You can put facts and testimonials with names and time period when it happen, bonus points if you can mention any conflict of interest or personal biases this people may have.

The Z80 can't run Linux due to the lack of an MMU. (Though it's possible to get around that through emulation: see http://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=07.%20Linux%20on%208bit for example.)

A nap room or, if the name is not to your taste, call it a wellness room. Yeah, you might not need it but potential hires that get migraines, have newborns, have sleep disorders (increasingly common among devs these days) or just plain start feeling ill during the day do need it.

In a recent client engagement I witnessed scrum-gone-badly-wrong.

It happened underneath the department manager in the line organization of a large corporate (not project manager, line manager). He managed about a dozen people doing about a dozen projects at any one time. A project was usually staffed by one person working it fulltime, and drawing support from the rest of the group here and there.

The manager held a daily standup involving the whole dozen people. With everybody doing a five-minute status report on their project, that meant five minutes of speaking time for everybody and 55 minutes of sitting through status reports on projects that you had zero involvement with, where you couldn't possibly have anything useful to say. I suggested numerous times that it would be better to have devs have a 1-hour blocker in their calendar without an actual meeting. They would do an e-mail update, and if the manager saw the need for any clarification he could use the 1-hour timeslot to turn up at their desk and talk 1-on-1. It would have been so much more efficient, but the manager didn't go for the suggestion.

Paying lip service to the scrum quasi religion, the manager repeatedly emphasized that the point of the standup was not to check on people's productivity or make them face repercussions for not meeting daily commitments. But he never missed an opportunity to make a passive-aggressive joke when a dev's productivity was called into question. Like a dev might say "I thought I would be able to do X yesterday, but didn't manage, because problem Y turned up. I solved Y, but X is still not done". The manager might jokingly say something like "Well, I hope you enjoyed your beachtime and will be able to finish X today." So not funny. I'm thoroughly convinced that shaming people was the method he was using to pressure people into doing overtime or otherwise doing whatever was necessary to meet daily goals every day, and that that was the real reason he wanted the whole department in the room. Because shaming is so much more effective when you shame somebody in front of a lot of people than just making a bad joke in a 1-on-1 situation.
The problem is that modern society - and the current size of the world's population - is dependent on a lot of programmable devices. For example: agriculture, where tractors and other farm machines nowadays have ECUs/ECMs (let alone even more programmable bits and pieces). Same for the vehicles used to actually transport food from farms to the rest of the world. There are plenty of other examples, too, like medical devices and water extraction and heating/cooling and other things that are nowadays the difference between life and death for a lot of people.

Sure, we were able to make do a century or so ago, but not with 8 billion people and counting. People will die without some way to keep the various microcontroller-driven systems up and running. It's a long shot that we'd be able to adequately replace a microcontroller in a tractor ECM or a pacemaker or an air conditioning system or a water pump, but a slim chance is better than no chance at all, and the latter is exactly what we'll have unless we're thinking about and testing out solutions now, while we still have the resources to easily do so.

There are also:

* FICA, which is strongly regressive at the higher end.

* Sales taxes, which are also strongly regressive since (citation needed) the poor likely pay more of their income on taxable goods. ("There's only so much filet mignon you can eat," according to a government professor I once had.)

* Property taxes.

* Fees.
Cool! Good for you.

I think the reactions you're getting are likely focusing on this project as a useful product or a business, not a coding exercise.

Because it's well-trod territory, with existing products that have been around for years, you're probably seeing more negativity than you would have if we all knew this was a learning project.

That said, not every step of every coder's learning process is broadly interesting to a community of people who have been programming for decades in some cases.

Usually these kinds of posts are better received when they come as a blog post about what the person's background is, what they were trying to learn, and how they felt about using those tools for the first time.
The comment I was replying to implicitly suggested the US had a "soul" prior to engaging in business with China, I wasn't the one who brought up the US. If I had brought up the US out of the blue I'd agree that it was an irrelevant whataboutism, but in this context I feel it was entirely appropriate and on topic.
As I understand it, the modern trend for buildings that are concrete on the first floor and wood frame for 2-5 floors above that started with earthquake-resistant designs. So they can probably play on that model.

The Coalition of Immokalee Workers famously used this argument as part of their campaign for farmworkers. The argument was that fast food companies paying 1 cent more per lb. for their tomatoes would have a huge benefit for the workers picking the tomatoes, and they won.
Years ago, in possibly Thailand, I went for an elephant ride through the jungle with my early teenaged daughter. She was very much into “how things work”. The guide sat up on the elephant’s neck and drove by touching her behind the ears with his feet. We sat further back in a pair of seats. At one point the guide got down and ran backwards in front to video my daughter sitting on the elephant’s neck and driving. Being who she was she decided actually drive and put her foot against one of the elephants ears just like the guide. Without missing a step the elephant reached around with her trunk, looped around my daughter’s leg and placed it gently back on her shoulder. (The elephant’s shoulder.)

Ok, this isn’t a lot of practical help on taming an elephant, except that maybe “befriending” or “establishing a working relationship with” would be better words than taming.
Korea has similar regulations:

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/one-thing-north-k...

If you zoom in on South Korea you'll notice that the map tiles are raster-based instead of vector-based like the rest of the map. At certain zoom levels, South Korea looks like it has no roads or cities, compared to the much more industrious North. It's kind of hilarious.
There is no truly neutral position though. Who gets the final say then?
This conversation went down the rabbit hole. I read the statement, and interpreted it to mean the GNU project should also be a safe place for women programmers. I'm a bit sad the comment that's risen to the top has taken us in a different direction.

The fact that this statement remains vague hasn't helped anyone to interpret it with precision.

>I'm surprised that it doesn't have support for Z80 if it's so common.

That's because it's an 8 bit computer, my dude. Back in the old days, when "the internet" was still a military project, and you'd phone up your local BBS at 2400 baud on a POTS with suction cups; that's all the little people had access to as recently as the early 80s. And as other people said, there are apparently many of them around, and they run on shit power supplies.

It's a cool idea, but obviously it requires both cheap and dirty hardware implementations and a paper manual. Pretty sure "hacking" will be low on the hierarchy of needs in the event of apocalypse. Also pretty sure something like CP/M would be more useful. I know where there are CAMAC crates with Z80/CPM punched card/paper tape readers that would probably do great in a post apocalyptic environment.

So year 4 your stock goes back down to $10k or even goes to $0 and you'd be fine with having paid taxes the wealth you had even though it wasn't actually realized as money?
You can look at the proliferation of antiques for examples of this. Arguably many antiques are more fragile than a computer, and exist over a hundred years later in excellent condition either through careful planning or neglect and luck.

And here we are, utterly ignorant and navel gazing self-serving excuse making, couched in lazy thinking.

You did quite a good job of covering almost every single fallacy, including the gaslighting fake fallacy. You even covered the propaganda excuse of the noble savage you racist types never fail to trot out because you think the USA is more deserving of the "children start operations like Google" than the originating countries and societies as you drain their potential and use the exceptions of starting Google as an excuse for exploiting and sabotaging the originating countries.

You can use that racist self-righteous snark somewhere else, but reality does not change facts, no matter how much you simply parrot the gaslighting propaganda of the ruling class that loves it when self-righteous useful fools like you get all adamant about spreading their propaganda for them. It's really no different than any other propaganda hack of any other ruling class serving tools. You're no different than the Chinese hacks that are encouraged to spread the same level of pro-CCP nonsense; just as self-righteous and just as big of a fool.

There are no problems with my thought any more than when CCP propaganda spreading hacks try to gaslight people like you do.

It's embarrassing that you would even use such a lazy argument as "Americans may not be willing to work". Even your subconscious knows that it's utter nonsense, hence your use of "may". Reality is that Americans do not want to work for slave analogue wages; as was clearly evident when ICE raided the plant in the south that left the company having to hire local American workers that were then also paid higher wages.

And no, people who are not hypocritical, would have no problem paying higher wages for groceries, which would also lead to lower profits of the companies producing them, because they have to pay workers living wages, which allows them to make more money that it will cost them to buy more expensive groceries. Again, such utterly lazy and shallow lack of any thought.

I come here hoping for intelligence, yet there is little to be found.
