Not priorities but rather attitude maybe? (Not sure if the best word but this is the best I can think of with my english, hopefully it doesn't sound offensive or tactless)

Imagine you have a car. Great engine, relatively comfortable seats, a new set of tires and a body so ugly you want to ram it into a wall everytime you are behind the wheel. It does its job well but you do not enjoy the time with.

Being able to enjoy my time with a device or an OS (or any other thing or person for that matter) is what I want. Obviously sometimes the issue is on my part.

How to Determine If a TV or Movie Producer Is Selling You a Bill of Goods
I would love to switch back to Linux but Apple's Retina displays are absolutely beautiful and there is no way I could enjoy going back to anything with noticeably lower pixel density on a laptop. I'd like to be told I'm wrong, but as far as I know it's not really possible to recreate a comparable high pixel density experience under Linux on a laptop.
How does the multi-node version handle high availability and automatic failover?

It's remarkable that you can hear stories of the form "my boss is raping/harassing me, and I'm terrified of him so I play along to protect myself" and characterize the victim as "lying" to "cover up misbehavior" "for money".

Harvey Weinstein has no agency in your version. He's not a sex addict narcissist who uses his power to make or break movie careers to manipulate and abuse and rape women. He's just a "lover" and "boss" whose greedy, ambitious, slutty employees are out to seduce him.
I got a takedown notice on YouTube for posting a chamber music recording of me and 3 friends playing a piece written in 1715. Insane.

We need to work on AI that can evaluate the musical talent in a recording. I mean yes, I was playing the same song as some famous musician, but anyone could tell I am an amateur and my recording was not professional.

I think it's reasonable for everyone to have their own cluster if their day-to-day work involves developing cluster-scoped resources. Admission webhooks, service meshes, CNI plugins, etc.

I agree that most people have too many clusters, using them to separate batch and interactive jobs or staging and production jobs. Generally, computers are expensive and manually scheduling jobs to clusters reduces utilization, so it costs a lot of money. It also gives you less operational flexibility, like being able to throttle batch jobs to scale up interactive jobs.
Or, you know, just run Linux outright.

>we've been particularly well served by the housing or health care markets.

Healthcare is going to be special. We're OK with a person not getting a Lexus if they can't afford one, but we are deeply uncomfortable with treating, say, cancer surgery the same way. So healthcare will always have a social component.

That's not the case for housing. Housing can be managed the markets just fine, you just need to make sure you don't constrain it a level where it cannot react to demand. Where housing fails, it's always the case of local regulations, from property owners who want to limit supply to keep their house prices up to activist and the local council who will restrict high-density housing development for the dumbest reasons (e.g. if the shadow of the new housing development falling on a playground - true story). You mentioned you're from Seattle - are you sure housing isn't constrained due to crazy progressive municipal policies?

>I see rent control as one mechanism to attempt to decommodify housing (which I'm strongly in favor of)

This is very perplexing to me. We know rent control hurts housing supply, and it hurts people that it purports to help because we have data on this from decades of studying this policy. There is no economist that supports it. I don't understand how it keeps coming back.

>It's been demonstrated, again and again, that 'more supply will come in' just isn't working for housing.

Where? Do you mean places like Seattle or San Francisco which make it almost impossible to build new development? Why wouldn't you look at regulatory policies of those areas before wanting to socialize an entire industry?

>You have a lot more faith in markets than I do.

It's not about faith in anything. Because markets are a messy, chaotic and complicated bottom-up structures where the individual transaction is impossible to predict, but where everything optimizes (at some minima) on a large scale - some people tend to be fundamentally uncomfortable with it. So the alternative is to fix the messiness of the markets by imposing a 'clean' top-down policy where the one true answer is dictated. The problem is that nobody at the top fully understands all the variables of the underlying messiness and hence they always get it wrong. If you take that to the extreme, you end up with a Communist disaster.
I’m pretty sure that you have never use linux ...
Just try it
1 — Sure. But Nix isn't exactly the most friendly package manager to begin with. I wouldn't recommend it if you're not comfortable creating volumes.

2 — Could you explain? Mine is on and working, I didn't need to do anything else.

3 — Is this if you have login items that need nix to be available? I don't have this so I haven't noticed.

4 — I've never run into this, but again I might just not use Nix for the kind of things that would cause issues.
That's really cool. Is there a way to keep windows standard window buttons (restore / minimize and close)?
This. I don't care if I can see the source code if I can't actually _do_ anything with it. If I can't run my modifications in production, it doesn't guard me against vendor lock-in and it doesn't give me the right-to-repair. So what's the benefit?

Note that I am not arguing for OSS licences, but something like the Commons Clause (use freely, even for commercial use, repair as you wish, just don't sell) seems much more suitable for such cases imho. It protects the business from cloud providers, while still offering some basic protections to the users. This... doesn't.

In my experience this is because of old and entrenched organizations built around mainframes.

If you have a mainframe it is very likely to be supported by a small army of people who are not at all very happy to be replaced but at the same time are the only ones who knows how the stuff works and the stuff is very opaque to general developer population.
I second this. Any tool which creates its own directory in the filesystem root (and cannot run from any other location) is inherently doing it wrong by any measure.

One reason these types of projects fail is that they are asking the people running the system today to do the migration and put themselves out of jobs. It's rare for people at the individual level to deny there is better tech, but as a group they know their situation. This was the same for migrations of ancient eRoom deployments to SharePoint in the mid-2000s. It's a pattern of working in big organizations.

The way many do this type of migration is to bring in another set of people (or outsource the system.) These new people have no attachment to the old system, but you lose the knowledge of the people you are replacing. This ends up being worse a lot of the time, but if it's too late then the organization won't rollback, and just spend a lot of time fixing their mistakes.

It's rare to get partnerships on the level that is required to change these big systems. In smaller projects, I've had the pleasure of working with some old-timers to update their technology, but it needs to be a collaborative effort.
Is that not possible under this license, to upstream a change? It sounds like you can’t put the change into production without it first being accepted, but not that you couldn’t contribute in other ways. I get the spirit of your argument. However, the issue is that companies are not able to make open-source compatible, permissive licenses that allow commercial use due to the new reality that creating a service and supporting a product are the main moneymakers. The code is not itself valuable to them but it is valuable as a holistic system because it’s an already built and adopted and production ready standardization of an idea.
In most cases, yes, the license will permit this.

Something I realized working on a large internal codebase at a company: any line of code you write is liable to be copied-and-pasted at some point in the future.

And that's good! Consistency is a very valuable quality of large codebases worked on by many engineers.

If I want to figure out how to write a unit test for a service call, find an existing example of that pattern and copy that. Resist the temptation to invent a new, very slightly better way of doing that.

There's a big corollary to this: if you find yourself doing something for the very first time in that particular codebase, take the time to do it well. Because everyone else will be copying your code for the future lifetime of the project.

Debian is not just as quick (significantly slower and higher resource usage), but Arch isn't all that fast nowadays, either.
It's usually because the software accrues warts, procedures, and special cases that get baked into the company's very core. They're all different and all valuable. Replacing them requires someone who fundamentally understands why it's all screwed up before they can find a workable fix (Chesterton's Fence).

But that's boring, awful work. It takes zillions of meetings trying to pry information out of unwilling participants who just want to do their jobs. And Reports! Acres of impenetrable reports trying to document what you found.

Nah, it's more fun for consultancies to roll in and rewrite everything, and then send every department through crazy change management. Suddenly there's a showstopper that nobody noticed until now, the project is already millions of dollars over budget and years late, so it craters.

> Nix, by design, doesn't conform to the FHS way of organizing directories

That's why /opt/ exists. What's wrong with /opt/nix/ ? Or /var/opt/nix/ for read-write files that need not be a fixed part of any package installation (the Unix equivalent of system-wide "Application Data").
Yes, but I think it depends on where the company is coming from already.

The IP licensing cost goes to zero when using RISC-V, and if the company already has a design force set up for MCU dev, it could be a big deal (if RISC-V works out its architectural issues).

Comparing this to ASICs still has to take into account what all of the other top-level comments in this thread have discussed. It still doesn't answer the question of MCU vs ASIC (vs. FPGA), but it does add a significant cost reduction to the mix if an MCU is in the running.

> The problem starts when there is a massive asymmetry in the trade.

Up until a few years ago, there was a massive asymmetry, but in the opposite sense to the asymmetry that Americans usually complain about. Because China was a developing country with very little capital but a huge labor pool, there were huge investment inflows into China. Western companies took advantage of cheap labor in China, setting up factories to produce for Western consumers. Chinese consumers were almost completely out of the picture. China did not have the capital to invest in foreign countries, so the investment was almost entirely unidirectional.

That began to change as China's workers began to earn more, and Western companies jumped into the Chinese consumer market (Starbucks has thousands of locations in China, VW sells millions of cars in China a year, and so on for countless Western companies). Whereas you would see almost no Chinese brands in Western consumer markets, the Chinese market was awash with Western brands.

Now, Chinese brands are starting to enter Western markets, and China also has capital to invest abroad. The relationship is becoming more bidirectional. To the United States, which was happy to exploit cheap Chinese labor and to sell airplanes to the Chinese market, the idea that China might be transforming into a serious economic and political competitor is alarming. That's why there are suddenly these myopic complaints about the relationship being one-sided.

> China has completely blocked US services from Google to Uber

Google is blocked in China for political reasons. Uber was allowed, and indeed operated in the Chinese market for a number of years. It failed there, because there was strong competition from companies that understood the local market and local consumer preferences better. Let me ask a simple question to test if the relationship really is asymmetric, and in which direction the asymmetry points: Do Chinese brands have a larger presence in the US than American brands have in China?
"&" captures references, not copies. I would like it to be just syntactic sugar for "&x, &y, ..." and only include the variables that I actually used in the body of lambda. There is no performance cost to that (unless a crash is somehow a performance win --- hey, the program finished earlier, I guess it's faster...).
So why wouldn't developers simply build higher-density housing to maximize this crazy profit per square foot? Why not buy your single-family home, demolish it, and build a multi-family/multi-storey apartment building and maximize the profit from that high-value land? Do they hate money? ... or are there regulatory barriers preventing them from doing that - barriers that are supported by existing property owners, who like their house prices tripling every 7 years.

It must be that they hate money.

COVID19 represents an extraordinary circumstance where otherwise perfectly healthy businesses would fail due to revenue, quite literally, dropping to zero due to an external shock.

When businesses fail and employees are fired real value is destroyed: working relationships are severed & institutional knowledge lost.

It is in all of our interests to do what we can to preserve these businesses until the external shock ends.

Two years ago, I helped a friend install Ubuntu Linux on a Retina Macbook Pro, and it worked like a charm. If you're looking for a new laptop entirely, there are loads of 4K+ Linux-compatible laptops out there (ThinkPads are probably your best bet).
I will say this. React popularized good ideas at the start. `View is a function of state`, that's a great paradigm to build UI on. It makes a lot of things simpler. Other frameworks like Vue, svelte, snabbdom all do very similar things.

The current iteration of React with hooks, fibers, synthetic events is a tirefire. There's a lot of `It's Facebook so it must be good` hype without questioning whether all that complexity even makes sense.

Gzipped React + ReactDom = ~50KB. Unzipped is ~200KB. That's nuts and plain inefficient. A low powered device will take half a second to load and parse that crap before it even does a first paint.

If you care about performance, React is no longer the tool. Svelte and Preact (4k gzipped) are way better alternatives.

Stay away from it. If it's a simple app/web page, just use vanilla js. The core DOM API has good cross browser compatibility nowadays. You don't even need jQuery.

React is a jack of all trades but master of none. Don't equate Frontend Development === React.

Glitch lays off roughly half of their staff
I think I agree with this sentiment with one caveat: (I didn't read their license in detail, but really for licenses like this which seems to be the broader topic)

Today Timescale offers Timescale-as-a-service, so this allows them a kind of soft-monopoly on being a paid provider for this, but do these licenses generally contain a provision such that if they no longer provide that service themselves, whether from going out of business or a pivot to another product, then someone else could step in and offer it in the future? Closed source products have often had a kind of source-code escrow arrangement so that if they go out of business, you're not stuck unable to fix your own bugs, but similarly, if part of the value in adopting it is that the paid service IS available, knowing that someone else can offer a compatible service if they disappear might be a nice reassurance for the license to offer.
It's also a hedge against the company/project shutting down or pivoting in a radically different direction than you want.

All the things you listed are foundational pieces of technology that are incredibly risky+costly to swap out, so if you needed to, there's an option to continue with a fork. If the thing is popular enough, there's a good chance a community-driven effort will pop up, you can find consultants to work on code for you, or even a new company will form around it, letting you continue working on your core product (mostly) uninterrupted.
