So, I'm downvoted you because I don't think you're contributing quality (You slag Gosling as 'some older individuals' who 'don't [understand] modern technology')

Either that or your comment was made in bad faith. I really can't tell, but come on, the problem is that Gosling doesnt understand how digital tech can make copies of data?
The short and true answer is that THEY DON'T. Why is this? Because of the SNAFU Principle: "True communication is possible only between equals, because inferiors are more consistently rewarded for telling their superiors pleasant lies than for telling the truth."

Junior people almost never give senior people the unedited truth because doing so is a good way to end up unemployed. Instead, junior people figure out what senior people want to hear and tell them that instead.

The clause about voting rights of shares not transferring to an ex-spouse in a VC agreement is pragmatic. Money and share value you can manage and negotiate equivalent value, but a material change in control is way more complex.

Marriage is incidental to that, and there isn't much of a future for it outside religious societies anyway. The good news is the trend creates lots of opportunities for luxury products and consumption as the millennial generation ages out of prime child raising age and finds the hole in their lives money just can't fill, but that won't stop them from trying.

If you have ideas for what these people will want in 2025-2030, might as well start your financial plan now. Whether it's money or share votes, plan to maintain control.

Just for starters, there are many different kinds of food, and the barriers to entry are relatively low. Everyone needs some food, but there's plenty of room for competition when there's filet mignon vs. hamburger vs. beans and multiple providers for each. That's a textbook condition where the free market can serve everyone well.

With a lot of medicines, in the current regulatory environment, there is one product from one manufacturer, and you must pay what they want or suffer.

When you resort to sarcastic mockery, people are going to look a lot harder for holes in your argument. If you must do that, you should start by making sure your argument is solid, or at least not transparently flawed.

As a hardcore book lover, I have the deepest hatred for all lists of books. They are pretentious wastes of time, usually written to make the author look like an eclectic and well-rounded person and for no other purpose. This is just about my only strong opinion in the world. I would die a thousand deaths on this hill.

Publishing a list of books like this should be in the same category of social bad habits such as name dropping celebrities you have met, or casually mentioning the large amount of money you make per year ($two hundred Kay), or having a PO Box in a rich neighborhood so you can have an address that impresses people.

Ticking boxes is exactly what it is. If I can be a little overdramatic (yes, now is where that starts), it's a betrayal of the very soul of reading.

Aside, I do hope that the I/O options for some of the wasm runtimes (WASI) popping up can work with the SQLite developers to get a build that works inside wasm, but can actually use the exposed file system interfaces... Not that sqlite itself is the goal, but imho enough of a filesystem focused library that will expose most issues on that part of the wasm runtimes.

There was a lot of hope in the '00's that we'd see another revolution from LIon the way we did from NiMH and NiCD before that, but it just never happened.

Everyone was projecting out electric cars and busses and planes and such based on a similar uptick.

Although, if we're really honest, there's a kind of Moore's Law of battery improvement and it's something like 6% a year, so that's a doubling every 12 years. Every new tech that swamps that performance curve also has extremely high manufacturing costs, poor yields, or both. You could almost predict when (if ever) they would become commercially viable by figuring out where the price/performance lines crossed. If anyone tried to accelerate that crossover point they did it by reducing the performance of the product to make it cheaper to build or more reliable.

For example, thicker membranes reduce specific energy but might be easier or safer to build.
The early 2000s Brit tech scene seemed like such an interesting place, but that was based mostly on what I was reading from Need to Know (ntk.net).

And I think you're conflating market share with how well something works.

> If it really did "just work" and was that easy, you'd see way more computers in the wild using it.

I encounter a number every day, in software engineering. For non-technical users installing an operating system is beyond what most can comprehend anyway. I'd wager the vast majority of hardware never sees an OS change in its life. Add on that desktop linux is not supported by most games and you've more or less excluded the semi-technical market too. That easily accounts for a small user base regardless of how well it works.

And if you take into account what people use it for - software development largely, in my experience - it seems natural that it has a smaller user base.

> Unless you don't exclude servers, Linux doesn't "just work" for most people.

You haven't really shown that, just a small market share.
Not to mention killing a lot of people that had arrived first.

It seems that the holy right of self-determination does not apply if you are a native indian for some reason. Is even more strange if we think that indians comprised once the big majority of people living in that territory.

This shiny right does not apply also if you belong in the majority comprised by non-nationalist people living in Cataluña. Is strange that people so democratic and pacific didn't noticed that other people has rights also.

> Will they be expelled from your country

Of course not. Why do you say that?

They will only have to respect the local law; probably nothing will change for them in practice, unless they want to work in a public service and they cannot already speak catalan.

Unless they cannot stand to live in a place where spanish is not official. In that case, well, they will easily find twenty countries with five hundred million spanish-speakers where they will feel truly at home. Problem is, as a catalan I have nowhere else to go.

It really depends, rust doesn't have the runtime overhead and can do lock-less approaches to in-memory data. For example, etcd, kubernetes (service) and some other systems may reduce overhead and improve performance with a rust implementation.
The complaint here is just that these articles are written with an anecdotal lead style, rather than inverted pyramid style.

The solution is writers changing their writing style, and probably not a browser/tool that can display 4 different versions of a text.
The argument isn't just that it proved to be untrue but is also based on ex-agency heads leaking false information (at least some of which they would have known was false) and playing up the untrue accusations in the press as the investigation proceeded. See the rest of this book on substack and many of his Rolling Stone articles in the past few years for much more detail on this aspect.

Interesting bug; I wonder what else might be affected by setuid(-1). That said, I’d hope this bug doesn’t really affect too many systems - letting someone run commands as any non-root user is pretty hazardous because some users have really high privileges (e.g. any user in the “docker” group is functionally equivalent to root if Docker is installed).

I do love that this command has its own website - and a delightfully on-point XKCD-inspired logo :)

That said, profit attracts investment. The rare diseases are a great example. Who wants to spend $50M creating a drug for a disease with so few people you’d only lose money?

Genzyme started the trend of charging a lot, with the caveat than any insurer might have a handful of patients. The cost per member might be $0.10.

Insurers said ok and investment flood the rare disease space. We’re talking hundreds of billions. Now some people with a rare disease have treatment.

Practically nobody installs operating systems on their computer. The computer they bought comes with one and it never changes. The stability of Linux isn't the problem here.

That's part of what I was referring to... Also in my own reply regarding getting sqlite working inside wasm (wasi being part of the fs interface spec). AFAIK, sqlite won't currently work in wasm against an underlying fs exposed.
Agreed. There's very little litter in the UK countryside because (generalising) the people who litter don't go there and the people who do are included to pick it up.

British towns and cities aren't great, embarrassingly bad compared to the Japanese cities I've been to.

I spent a weekend in Lisbon recently and was fairly shocked at how bad the litter / rubbish was. The worst I've seen in Europe. Warm climate made it smelly too.
Interesting will check it out.

Also remember listening to JJ Redick's podcast episode which featured Chris Paul, and they spoke about players not getting enough sleep. Paul mentioned an example such as a national game on tv being over at 9 or 10 but they might have another road game the next night, they go to airport get on a plane and land at 2am. Might not even get any sleep until 4 or 5am due to all the traveling, the adrenaline, the emotions, the caffeine etc. Now imagine this over 82 games.
Another hero who died too soon...
It could be greed, but i'd say its more likely they don't even understand that they could be doing good things with their money.
Why is an understanding necessary, and how do you even define that?

Humans are not as hard to beat as you think they are. They have lots of limitations:

- Can only see in a single direction at a time.

- Vision-only, no radar

- Prone to becoming emotional

- Drive in unfamiliar places where they do not have a full understanding of the environment or local laws

- Can be inebriated, easily distracted, fall asleep

- Selfish: time to destination is often more important than the safety of others

- Majority of people do not follow all traffic laws (speed limits, turn signals, lane-usage)
Maybe but there's also a lot of ink about the drop in attendance in MLB games since the stopped looking the other way on steroids, maybe there are too many games to be able to be entertaining without drugs. Maybe NBA is on there way there, a third of the teams home games sold out seems like lots of room for improvement to me, I guess it's perspective.

Edit: Agree it's probably TV driving it. But just my perspective as Basketball fan, I would rather see 50 or 60 really great competitive games played by rested healthy and happy players than 80 games by tired players.

So then the crux of the conflict:

In 4.10.18.7.1...

"The "off" keyword indicates either that the control's input data is particularly sensitive (for example the activation code for a nuclear weapon); or that it is a value that will never be reused (for example a one-time-key for a bank login) and the user will therefore have to explicitly enter the data each time, instead of being able to rely on the UA to prefill the value for them; or that the document provides its own autocomplete mechanism and does not want the user agent to provide autocompletion values."

In 4.10.18.7.2...

"When an element's autofill field name is "off", the user agent should not remember the control's data, and should not offer past values to the user.

NOTE: In addition, when an element's autofill field name is "off", values are reset when traversing the history."

@jeffk - Ok, I now understand where you are getting this interpretation.

I think this is a dangerous interpretation (and perhaps it requires altering the spec to say must). Again Application developers need a reliable, durable way to tell the UA that a particular field should never be autofilled or autocompleted. How else do you propose we do that, other than following 4.10.18.7.1.
>It often comes from smart, technically capable engineers who are more concerned with impressing their peers than growing the company.

Well, if the company's business is connecting drivers with riders, there isn't much engineering involved in growing the company. Pricing, handling investors, PR/advertising and working with municipal governments does affect your growth. The exact details on how you store the destination's GPS coordinates in the database don't really matter. A good product manager who understands usability and can communicate their ideas to the management can add some value, but having a 20% lower price than the competitors do will make 90% of the users ignore any usability hiccups.

Hiring thousands of engineers to maintain a process that only needs a handful is perfectly reasonable, since the investors don't understand tech and generally like the head count. So this is critical for raising VC capital needed to subsidize the rides, that in turns gives great growth numbers.

A typical developer doesn't understand these mechanics. And even if they did, the only alternative to delivering useless unneeded results would be to resign, except good luck finding a competitively paying non-bullshit job in the current market.
15-20 years ago the battery tech wasn't there to make a decent and affordable electric car. These days we should be seeing electric cars from all manufacturers, except that many of them are hidebound old fossils that really didn't want to touch this electric car stuff. As for a Dyson car, I think he may have had trouble figuring out a way to make the entire thing out of cheap plastic.

Tesla is filling a huge market vacuum which is how they're able to grow so quickly. Every other car manufacturer was so married to the ICE that they never seriously considered a fully electric vehicle. Even when GM was basically forced to at gunpoint they did everything they could to make sure none of them would escape into the wild, and even the Bolt is treated like a redheaded stepchild.

The bad news for Tesla is that some of the other companies are starting to pull their heads out of their asses and may offer some actual competition in a couple of years. The good news is that Tesla will be big enough to compete with them when they finally do show up.
This is just like Dutch lunch. Indeed, I'm not sure what's special about it. Definitely not limited to Norway.
