Why wouldn't you? Using software that restricts your freedom to use, modify, and share in the pursuit of advancing the human understanding of the universe around us seems to be short-sighted. Free Software gives everyone the equal opportunity to leverage the same tools and practices to do research, development, and further our understanding of our world. In most cases, proprietary software does not.

That's NOT a mistake, but a shady thing to do, loosing trust for a project where you have plenty of alternatives is the most stupidest thing you can do.

> It sounds more to me like an access control/authentication failure - firstly on listing recordings that belong to another user, secondly on then giving access to those recordings when requested.

Yep, I agree. Perusing their careers page, I can see they use ruby and java. It’s so easy to misconfigure resource authorization in a rails app, which is why it’s so important to have solid testing around those components of an app.

> I guess this gives rise to a bigger question around whether online GP consultations should be recorded and preserved like this

I also completely agree here. EMR systems are well established at this point and doctors have somehow gotten this far without needing full recordings of most consultations. It wouldn’t surprise me if they were developing an abridgment system that automatically creates notes for doctors or something, but like you said, storing that training data is such a huge risk.
Automation is generally done due to cost savings. So if you replace a thousand jobs, then you pay for automation less than you paid for these thousand jobs, so obviously there's less than thousand people involved in creating and maintaining and selling that automation. And if the automated jobs are low-paying jobs and the "automators" are mostly highly-paid engineers, then the gap is even larger.

If there's an engineer paid $200k + overhead for working on automation, then that only can happen if his/her job alone results in automating away ten $30k jobs.
Personal opinion: this strongly applies to startup (and business in general) success as well, which leads to all kinds of faulty assumptions about what actually makes startups succeed or fail. Environment-based factors (basically luck) play a much larger part than most successful people will actually admit.

I might well be wrong but this kind of authority over the use of language seems to be much more US-specific than I've seen elsewhere, which you could attribute to the overall dominance of US people in the places where these discussions tend to crop up (github, HN, Reddit, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.).

I don't really know what to make of it except that these discussions about not using 'master', 'cop', etc. seem _heavily_ biased to the US perspective and current affairs in the US. I can understand it taking place due to the sheer cultural upheaval that has (quite frankly) been a long time coming, but my mild frustration about `US === the whole wide world` can take a step aside while we focus on the injustices fellow humans face.

I've generally found in life that my own preferences are more in line with the non-professional crowds than any self-anointed critics or other experts.
Well, it depends. Some people would say, justly I think, the way to come at Fourier transform is as a commutative representation theory.
Using a job market matching model would be more appropriate for this, seeing that each hour is associated with an convenience level (a la wages) and disutility from crowding.

However economics is about studying equilibria, not finding recipes for what to do. Just check Google Maps for crowding levels if you need to go to the supermarket, or request a queue status indicator to be put into the market's website.
You do not do that. Instead you optimize the short, critical part.

Of course it does not apply to everything, you need a few hotspots, but it is quite common: audio/video codecs, scientific computation, games, crypto... And even networking.

Invest wisely. You're young so diversify and take reasoned risks.

Or buy a cheap plot of land in Oregon, build a cheap OTG microhouse homestead (grow crops, get some hens, and maybe some goats), and WFH. Screw living in SF, NYC, etc. and pissing money away on insane rent and cost-of-living. Also, with the coming climate change droughts, famines, mass migrations, and wars, you're better off having a SHTF Plan B.

Also, reduce your long-term expenses by investing in lightly-used, lowest TCO durable goods that can reduce your living costs, improve quality-of-life, preventatively reduce risks, and automate your life. Toyota Corolla (if driving), Reverse Osmosis water filter, water softener, air quality monitor, robotic vacuum and mop, and so on. (ProTip: avoid Ikea sawdust future-landfill furniture.)

Dress for the job you want. Get some awesome suits. Your look defines how people treat you and creates implicit, subconscious respect and status. If I go out in sweatpants, a tie-dyed shirt, and a beat-up, dirty car.. that's going to get me pulled over and car searched. If I go out in a suit and clean car, the seas part and I can get a warning for doing 100 mph.

Take a vacation. Rent a massive, cheap villa in Brazil and have a zillion happy endings that will knock on your door and can bring a friend. My friend who owns a mediterranean fast casual restaurant on Univ Ave in Palo Alto did this a number of times before getting married; according to him, it was the same price as an average vacation but a million times more fun.

Philosophy of that sort offers little insight into correctness in formal software development, just as it offers little insight into the study of mathematics.

In practice, bugs can creep in at various stages of a formal development process, but they're much less common that with non-formal software development methodologies, as you say.

I do not think there is anything to obtain yet. The only two designs that I am aware of and that are out-of-order are Berkley's BOOM and Alibaba's Xuantie 910. And then you also need a complete and standardized platform, i.e. chipsets, firmware interfaces, etc. There are also a few standard extensions, including "Packed-SIMD", "Vector" and "Transactional Memory" that are still in a draft state.
I’d like to see this for more services. Amazon Prime has IMHO the worst UI/UX I have used in a streaming service.
Interesting, clicked a bit further and found out that submarines use VLF communication, however it's one way only:

"Submarines carry only a VLF reception aerial and do not respond on such low frequencies, so a ground-to-submarine VLF broadcast is always a one-way broadcast, originating on the ground and received aboard the boat."

If "electricity" is really just a category ...then we've just added another definition to the list! That just makes things worse! (Well, unless you can somehow erase all the competing ones. Better choose one definition and then fight to the death with everyone who prefers another.)

So, which one is the One True Definition? Is Electricity the energy? Is it the charge-flow? Is it the electrons? Watts of electricity? Volts? Is Electricity really just a category (such as bioelectricity, piezoelectricity, etc.?)

Besides the strict narrow definition offered by Maxwell in his multi-volume EM treatise, I prefer the wise-ass definition crafted by Ambrose Bierce:

ELECTRICITY, n.
The power that causes all natural phenomena not known to be caused by something else.

I can second this. My previous company runs a few hundred Pi units across loads of separate locations; the locations where we had constant corruption issues were also the ones experiencing dodgy site power-supply issues. We did try various alternatives to cheap SD cards but ultimately running them off PoE from a switch attached to a UPS was a pretty good solution to the issue.
Unfortunately, OpenSSL is only in alpha right now. And they didn't do an LLVM-style exception to resolve the issues with GPLv2 software.

And improved licensing doesn't fix the horrible API, nor the lack of discipline to prevent API/ABI repeated breakages within the same version series. We'll see if they do better with this in OpenSSL 3.x...

It's also worth noting that if we get a major switch to self-driving cars, that won't create a new industry but rather diminish one - a big hypothetical benefit of a self-driving-car world is that much less cars would be needed; as most current cars are idle most of the time and even in peak driving hours, so a societal switch to "self driving cars on demand" services would mean that we would need much less cars than today.

Which is great for the planet, but not so great for jobs in car manufacturing industry, at least in the long run.
Agreed. What’s most annoying is how they deal with geo blocked content. They don’t tell you it’s blocked until you start watching it. So you browse the catalog for five minutes, finally find a movie to watch, press play, and then get an error message.

> But for there to be any form of income trickling down production chains, someone has to be willing to pay something for the services they consume. Is this controversial in any way?

No, but it is also entirely orthogonal to the blog entry we're discussing. At no point does the monetary cost of something enter into what Sussman is talking about. You seem to be conflating free-as-in-beer with free-as-in-freedom (man, I feel nostalgic writing those phrases again – I don't mean this as an offense, but the difference seems to be so much more well understood among the tech savvy these days than it was 15 years ago).

This is where the coffee analogy becomes relevant. While indeed the cost of coffee affects a lot of things in the coffee value chain, the idea of fair trade (for all its flaws, let's not digress into those here) are not about the end product's cost.

But what do you class as an external influence? Do social norms, including widely held moral codes, count? What about laws, and the threat of punishment for breaking them? What about environmental conditions that provoke emotional states (fear, anger, joy)?
That explains a lot. I remember playing that game as a teenager and having fun right up until the elevator logistics got complicated, then having to basically give up because everybody was waiting all the time. I don't remember even trying the "advanced" elevator controls, but I probably wouldn't have gotten very far with them anyway.
I don't know, the examples don't look too complicated. I wonder how it is possible that an approach based on rules would not work on those examples.

Regarding POSIX, I've been using Fish for about 4 years now.

POSIX always comes up, how it's a deal breaker.I want to mention that I build all my scripts as POSIX as I can or using Bash extensions. You keep having Bash/ZSH on your machine, so you can still use your scripts and don't miss anything. Shebang's keeps working,

#!/bin/sh
#!/bin/bash
#!/bin/zsh

Personally, I actually don't change my default shell (chsh step). I simply set my terminal to use the fish command instead of invoking the default shell.

- Gnome Terminal, there's a Title and Command tab. You can set a custom command there. Just put the path to fish
- Terminal.app, Preferences > Profiles > Shell > Run command
- iTerm.app, Preferences > Profiles > General > Command
- Tmux, on your .tmux.conf `set -g default-shell /usr/local/bin/fish`

It's more portable for me that way.

I have a 1914 Victrola phonograph that I occasionally amuse the kids with.

I 'd suggest the Red Hat model. Copyleft code, trademarked name, make money from support. It has good synergies in incentive alignment between you and the community (that may hopefully materialise) around the project and a track record of success.
Certainly yes in my opinion.

My current employer had a curiously very successful corona-quarter and building a solid backorder because we cannot have everyone in production right now.

We automate everything we can and still employ more and more people. We often think manufacturing when speaking about automation, but I think administration will be affected most (you won't automate anything if you fired your internal IT department).

We also build a fairly sci-fi robot to populate circuit boards for parts that cannot be fitted by reflow soldering. Great device to show off but the soldering women are just plainly faster and less error prone. And we have quite a high wage level.

But sales planning, accounting, reporting will be mostly automated at some point. Our own in-house production is steadily growing even with additional support by machines.

Of course it is bad if people out of job have no alternative. I think there should be state support for such cases instead of artificially keeping an industry alive.

> All code in unsafe blocks is not safe.

That's a sadly common misconception. The unsafe blocks only enable a few extra language features, like dereferencing raw pointers and calling unsafe functions; if none of these extra language features are used, the code is completely safe. That is, if you have a block of code ({ X }) and just add the unsafe keyword (unsafe { X }), it works exactly the same and is still safe. This also shows that there are not "two languages"; what you called "rust" is a subset of what you called "unsafe rust", not a different language.

Yeah I think it managed to take over a lot of users from Sublime Text and Atom, and it's probably the best option out there for people that don't want / can't have a full IDE like VS or IDEA.

The latter is a licensed product, I had to pull some strings to get a license at my current job. Well worth it though, I worked in VS Code earlier but it wasn't as complete as IDEA. For example, in my particular case I work in an older codebase targeting ES5 (no transpilers or whatever) and PHP 5.3; setting the language mode to those, I get warnings if I try to use PHP's short array syntax or ES6+ specific functions. At the same time I'm working on a replacement in Typescript/React and Go. It just works without a hassle, and I get things like go to definition and common refactorings working out of the box.

I still do my builds and running on the commandline though, it has to be portable.
