Two ironies here:

1) clang and LLVM APIs are so unstable that tight integration effectively requires maintaining your own fork.

2) One of the original complaints about GCC was that Stallman stonewalled addition of a richer, stable plugin API. Fast forward to today, GCC plugins are now first-class and, AFAIU, the plugins API is more stable and dependable. OTOH, turns out people aren't using plugins as much as originally thought, though the Linux kernel infrastructure does.

I think they have doctoral degrees, yes, like dentists do in the US.

Fun fact - most doctors in the UK do not have any kind of doctoral degree! Just bachelors degrees (they're sort of treated like masters degrees though.)

To give a little more, attentiveness data would only tell me the student is, for instance, reading a text passage. It offers no insight into how they read the text or to what degree they are applying any instructional concepts to the text. This is useful for instructional purposes (if delivered to the teacher in such a way that they can quickly scan the room and grok what’s happening - but that’s getting into AR territory), but it doesn’t do much for the larger goal.

Assessment can give me that kind of information; hence, my belief that making instruction-based assessment more globally trustable is the key component.

Again, I would love to see something like this come to be. I’d love to jump ship and work on it full time. It would not only provide significant academic advantages, but also make increased teacher compensation politically palatable. If we can measure teacher effectiveness, then we can reward it. If we can’t, we use tenure.

> Honestly, there is a massive instructional benefit to being on a unified platform

Which is more than offset by the social cost of it being a monopolized proprietary platform. But since we have pretty good idea of what the requirements are for the common platform, it should be quite easy and, in the long term, a significant savings for a sufficiently large education body or coalition thereof to develop and maintain an open, unencumbered standard for meeting those requirements with a reasonable-cost certification program for those circumstances where certified-compliant implementations are important.
It’s different this time!
>Particularly grating is the common parlance that countries X and Y are "friends" or "enemies". This may have made sense in the world of monarchical empires, but in modern nations it is at best a rough summary of the collective attitude of an elite. The bulk of the population in each country is unlikely to care at all about the other.

Perhaps the bulk of the population in each country doesn't matter then, as far as the country's relation with other countries and friendly or enemy actions are concerned?

You say this made sense in the world of "monarchical empires" -- but then "the bulk of the population in each country" was even more unlikely to care at all about the other.

If anything, the bulk of the population in modern countries votes, and so, whatever their country's behaviour is to other countries, is more of their responsibility than it ever was in "monarchical empires".

In a little more detail ...

To be competitive in US equities HFT, you need an FGPA with 40GbE ports hosted in a server (which needs to power and cool the FPGA, and deal with the less latency-sensitive bits of your system). You'll need some storage as well.

That server needs to be co-located with your target exchange(s) matching engines, and connected via 40GbE. You might additionally want remote market data via mm-wave microwave.

You can probably put together a basic but competitive hardware setup for $70k or so, if you ignore redundancy, and you only need to trade a single market. More realistically, you'll need at least two, plus shared storage, and probably more depending on what markets you intend to trade on.

Then you have monthly costs: colocation for the server(s) ($5k-ish+), port fees for the order entry ($500-ish), port fees for market data ($500-ish), physical connectivity fees ($20k-ish) , cross connect fees for the connectivity ($500-ish), wireless connectivity fees, you might need roof access (more fees), market data fees (per exchange), memberships, and trading costs.

I haven't done this for a while, but it easily adds up to $100k per month or more.

So you need to be making quite a bit to pay off your infra, before you start thinking about profit. And your model will age pretty fast, so you'll want to be working on a few possible replacements concurrently.

It's a tough business.
>How useful is it really? I think it only serves to conflate the will of the people with the will of the elite.

When people think at that level of abstraction they don't care about the "will of the people" of the other country, they care about what the other country can do (does) to theirs, and that's mostly based on the will of its elite.

So it makes sense to ignore the "will of the people" when considering a country friendly or not.

>Is it really that much harder to name the person who proposed the policy or who ordered the action?

Well, the persons are often replaceable or insignificant the elite has people doing its work in politics etc, but it's not like some specific person is the embodiment of being the "enemy" of another country the elite wants to attack.
Yes - I have done them already. The "prescription" isn't actually legally binding. Your eye doctor is legally obligated to give you the numeric prescription on request for no additional charge.
> Saying proprietary licenses are deadly without explanation seems more like zealotry than reasoned consideration.

Look I didn't come up with the analogy for the virality of the GPL. I don't think it's very illuminating. What the analogy says is that once you have GPL-licenced code in your code all of it will catch it and must be published under the GPL. Proprietary code is worse because once you have proprietary code in your code it becomes unpublishable. I call that fatal under the analogy.

> Thankfully we have alternatives to the GPL like MIT and Apache for people who want to share source but not force that choice on others.

Sure those are benign within the analogy. That's what the analogy is meant to convey. Funny thing though: MIT code can be made proprietary, I mean fatal, GPL code cannot.
It took me a minute to understand as well.

Apparently it’s a common scheme to enroll in “easy” college classes in order to stay in the USA. Some classes are merely a front just to get immigration status and not to actually provide teaching.

This was one of these fake schools, but set up by the government and apparently the students knew it offered no actual classes. So the students only enrolled in the school for the immigration status and not to actually attend schools, which is a violation.

AIUI duck.com used to be a redirect-- to google.com. Very confusing for actual DDG users. IIRC Google got the domain as part of acquiring On2, some sort of video codec company, at a time when DDG wasn't nearly as popular as it is today.
> The GPL has no power that owners of proprietary code don't already have.

This is technically true, but practically getting a proprietary license for some GPLed programs would be obscenely difficult. How many authors are there of GNU Bash? GCC? Would all of those authors accept money from Apple to allow them to ship a proprietary version of their code in MacOS? Are they all even still alive? And I bet some people would demand obscene amounts of money for tiny patches they made decades ago, just to spite Apple. And they'd probably write scathing blog posts about how apple hates free software just because they were asked. Then what would apple do? Strip out random chunks of code from archaic codebases like bash and hope for the best? Ugh.

This would be fine if there was a central owner to whom copyright has been assigned, but opensource programmers aren't in the habit of doing that. So there's no central body with whom Apple can negotiate (and even if there was, would the FSF sell a proprietary license to apple?). Under RMS? No way.

Your second point seems incoherent in its own terms. You say:

> You can absolutely decide you want to distribute GPL'd software compiled in with proprietary software for which you don't want to release the source.

... But then you say:

> GPL is considered "viral" because, for most people, releasing the rest of your source code is preferable to losing in court for regular copyright infringement.

So you're saying that the GPL only applies if you don't want to get sued? I mean, sure, but spoilers: Apple doesn't want to get sued for GPL violations. They have deep pockets, and they'd lose, and they'd get really bad press for it which might hurt their ability to hire good programmers in the long run. They don't want the reputation Microsoft had in the 90s.

Thanks, yes, I didn't realize you were talking about a particular framework. I'm not familiar with that one.

> The mess with CSS comes from the difficulty of code once an application becomes complicated. Things start colliding and patterns diverge easily.

CSS is imperfect, and there are different ways to think about it. But if you find yourself running into design problems often, you may want to rethink how you think about CSS.

For example, my approach to CSS used to be thoroughly semantic. Lately I've been enjoying more of a "utility first" approach, which I learned about from an article that you might also find interesting: https://adamwathan.me/css-utility-classes-and-separation-of-...

That's a really good point, I often fall into the trap of assuming things like this, thanks.
> the mere fact that it is free of proprietary licenses has inspired countless open source implementations and an industry shake-up that has ARM quaking in its boots.

ARM and x86 are not quaking in their boots by any measure. I certainly haven't seen Google itself rushing to ship RISC-V devices or provide RISC-V cloud services at scale. I doubt there's much demand for either compared to ARM and x86.

Consider MIPS: it is another open ISA and it has good toolchain, silicon, and OS support, but ARM still rules on mobile and x86 still rules the desktop and server world.

In the case of Apple at least, they already design their own ARM CPUs and there is no clear advantage to switching to RISC-V or MIPS.

However, an Apple CPU that combined ARM and x86 compatibility might be useful in Apple laptop and desktop PCs.

Three facts: 1: clang was significantly worse when Apple removed GCC support, 2: clang is still significantly worse than GCC, and 3: it's because of Google's investment, not Apple's, that we can think of clang as a "in the same stadium" competitor to GCC that makes Apple's removal of GCC surprising.

Any pair of these wouldn't be surprising. Apple is investing in an unproven technology, ok fine. But the congruence of these three facts is surprising. Apple is investing in a worse technology and also relies entirely on Google to improve that technology for them. Blows my mind.
This does not happen in FireFox. Are you suggesting Google is still playing dumb games?

The usual retort to this argument is to analogize devs to mechanics: most car owners don't want to tinker with their engines, but even car owners appreciate the freedom to choose their own mechanic, and assume the mechanic has the ability to utilize and access to alternative parts.

Seems like if you say the wrong thing about theocracy, or have sane and body-positive sex advice, you're bound to get some silent judgement from people who aren't brave enough to actually call you out, lest they have to actually defend their beliefs that cause them some degree of cognitive dissonance. It's likely easier for them to not question why they think the way they do, and if it's the right way for them to think/react/etc. at all, so those beliefs and assumptions go unchallenged.

Obviously this is all speculation and assumption, but if someone won't engage with you to explain themselves, that's all one can really do, for better or worse.

100% agreed. Html and css are for documents not for ui imo. Quite sad that they are becoming the standard for creating ui
The analogy talks about the conditions under which code can be mingled. Permissive licences allow free mingling (benign), GPL code causes all mingled code to become GPL (viral), proprietary code cannot be mingled (fatal).
If you can’t sell the vision to a prospective employee you’ll fail to sell to clients. Not being a dick to you, just I have seen this before. Doesn’t make you bad just a good gut/reality check to help you adjust as needed.

The pitch is very similar between the two. You are selling the employee on the same base values you sell a client on.

Show why the client wins and how your solution will address the pain. Highlight the challenges because even in mundane problems there are always challenges. Engineers sometimes fail to see the challenges of why a problem would be fun to tackle so that is the one area you have to help highlight.

I do agree that the less interesting and challenging the problem then you do have to compensate in other ways to attract talent. But also be honest you don’t always need high end engineers to solve simple problems. So hire what you need and don’t fall victim to hiring the wrong type of person for the type of work you need done.

Whether or not we're using the scientific term for an individual's mindset (which is not quantifiable to a high degree of precision but that doesn't meant it's not quantifiable at all, you can at least reduce most 'measurements' to a binary range) is irrelevant to its significance.

Isn’t that the point though, to change behavior? People who live in the countryside and work in the city have only been able to do that because of improperly priced fuel that enables them to do so. Adjusting the price of fuel to reflect the true cost would drive the change in behavior that we need to have. You can’t expect things to change without making actual changes, and it will of course require a transition period as people adjust.
