You say that as if you never bought a raspberry pi because it lets you use Mathematica. There's many of us who did, because a pi is <$100 and a home use license for Mathematica is $300+

If you need a pi because you want to run something on it that'll run just as well on a pi 2, then sure 2GB is perfectly fine. But if you actually need a pi 4, you need it because it is vastly more powerful and offers actually useful amounts of memory.

> I wish there was a way to hook my newsletters subscriptions up with Kindle.

There used to be services a bit like this. Instapaper used to be able to send a digest of saved web articles to your Kindle, like your own magazine. eg [1]. It sometimes did badly due to web page formatting, but with newsletters you'd have more control layout.

I think you can still deliver the .mobi files to a @free.kindle.com address and the reader won't be charged for WiFi-only delivery. They have to whitelist your email address in their online Kindle account, which might be a usability issue. It's a while since I looked at .mobi, but I don't think it's much different from a single HTML file.

It's not a service I would use, because I love email, and I worry about market size... but it's an interesting idea.

How are they starving when they’re making more sitting home than they made going to work? Are you implying they were starving before? Are there any starving people in the USA?
i've sort of came to this conclusion too. I've spent most of my career in the small biz and startup world. I'm over worrying about the fate of the entire company every hour of the day. I have a family and these days I just want a paycheck that isn't late, a 401k, and PTO. Maybe i'm officially old... or maybe just more wise ha.
They're not perfectly elastic, but they're not inelastic either.

As an example, NYC was offering $10k/week for travel nurses. It's clear that pay can drive labor supply, even if it's not perfect.

Firstly, it's only somewhat true; look at this graph https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/money-supply-m0 and note that it's not zero indexed. The raw money supply has doubled .. with surprisingly little effect on prices and wages.

Secondly, people get confused between extension of credit and money printing. For that you want the separate measure "M2".

Thirdly, the real lesson of the hyperinflation crises of Germany, Zimbabwe, Argentina etc. is that you can't print oil, gold, or the foreign currency needed to buy them. Germany was paying a huge amount of reparations to France (which would be where the family silver ended up - 20 billion goldmarks was paid, which had to come from somewhere).

The United States is in a hugely privileged position. It has enough domestic oil and food production for its needs. The gold standard is no longer relevant. Inflation and interest rates remain low.

If you imagine a dial with a yellow warning at "8" and a warning redline at "9", the US is currently arguing over whether turning it from 1 to 2 is going to be the end of the world. The limit does exist, but it's a long way away.
The US does not generally print money the way Germany did in the early 20th century. While we do perform some small amount of monetary expansion through printing money in the colloquial sense, the vast majority is done by the Fed paying dollars for assets. The Fed will at a later point destroy said dollars when it sells back the assets.
I'll admit that I don't actively seek out Poettering's online postings, so I pretty much only see his behavior when it's bad enough to make the news. But isn't it a little silly to say he's generally polite and helpful in most of his interactions? What really matters is whether he's capable of being polite and helpful when there's a real disagreement, and especially when he's wrong. His reputation indicates he tends to have a distinctly impolite "my way or the highway" attitude in those circumstances, and examples of it are plentiful. Are there counterexamples where he humbly admits being wrong, or at least acknowledges the validity of criticism when affirming his stance?
Over 70% of workers have access to an employee retirement plan, and 56% of all workers participate in one[1]. So I did misremember the stats slightly. Its all workers instead of all Americans, and a generic "employer sponsored retirement plan" vs specifically a 401k, but my point still stands.

If we exclude children and people who are already retired, only 26% are without retirement savings[2]. The ability of these people to retire is linked to stock performance.

This is false as related to the PPP loans ($700B program, to put that in perspective during the 2008 financial crisis law makers passed an $800B stimulus to prevent total financial collapse). Its argued the banks paid that 2008 money back with interest (I won't touch that claim), but the PPP loans ($700B) are intended to be forgiven.

It's great news that these crims have had their just desserts. It's even better the quantity of drugs taken out of circulation, and hopefully the decimation of the network.

I'm well grasped of the difference between the two, and for the most part I think white collar crime is worse. It's pure greed and the same kind of exceptionalism that's been growing and growing for the last 50-60 years. Blue collar crime is as old as civilisation, white collar crime is as old as deregulation.

Is it really that difficult to quantify or is it that the government doesnt want to do the work of quantifying it?

I think you said it yourself with your comment about senators arguing. The root cause is an overall lack of political will, not any technical or logistical impediments in modelling impact.
If the Republicans had held up the bill, then Democrats would've pushed on less corporate bailouts. It's the same argument they always have.. who matters more, big business or individuals?
This is an example of how government trying to "work" the economy can upset the tenets of those who believe in a free market; you may choose to look at it with a different lens. The government does not create wealth, or anything for that matter, and in trying to do the apparent right thing to make things better (at least seek favor with their constituents) they wind up unbalancing the system, and IMHO, creating the opposite effect from the face value of the act.

I appreciate your comment. I think it proves the idea how important free compilers and run times are. The web took off not due to C, but Perl. It was free and came with many servers that people rented. After that came the 90s with languages like Java and other free higher level languages. At the same time free OSes like Linux allowed people to be more technical without cost.

By the time this came around, universities taught C++ or Java in their intro to programming. Students used those. Then found the free version from discussion with peers.

Sort of, but it's complicated. The us had printed enough money to quadruple the USD money supply since 2008 and there has been no change in inflation.
I'm not sure I agree; Poettering isn't being harsh to his collaborators, here. He's protecting them against the implicit accusation of a hostile community member. I'd be _more_, not less likely to want to work on a project with someone who does that.
> in fact, their actual wages have fallen through the floor as they are working 12-16 hour days instead of 10-12 hour days (when they are supposed to work 8 hours a day), so their hourly wage (they do not get paid for all that time they are charting, after hours, at home) has dropped significantly.

In other words, wage theft has rampantly increased?
I don't use Linux and have no any opinion on systemd either way, but based on what I saw on Slashdot about it some years back, there are a significant number people out there who acted as if systemd and Lennart Poettering (one of its creators) were one of the worst things to happen since Hitler.

I'm largely ambivalent as to whether or not his behaviour here was acceptable, but I am pretty sure he has received death threats and other types of abuse from systemd haters in the past, so his complete lack of patience at baseless accusations does not surprise me at all.

On a related note, while I still skim Slashdot's front page daily, I just can't stand to look at the comments anymore. I think the trolls, "bitter sysadmins" and bigots have largely frightened away everyone else. For example, if you just mention you're actually alright with Microsoft Windows, then you're accused of being a shill who's life goal is to make everyone else's life miserable.
Those are all good points but I want to emphasize that the root issue is that US law basically allows companies to exploit workers and not pay them a living wage, and as we are seeing now this does tangible damage to our society as a whole.

There is definitely room for improvement (de-escalation) and less aggressive approach towards people who are not being aggressive (but may be playing dumb and other irksome attitudes). And also better understanding of “unstable” subjects —“oftentimes” the police shoot at provocation that doesn’t pose immediate harm [if someone waves a knife, back up 20 feet].

Also sentencing reforms are needed as well as more effort into rehabilitation and preparation to become contributing members of society for non violent felons.

On the other hand the issue is way over politicized and then you have opportunists who use this as an excuse to agitate and cause rioting and looting (as opposed to political protesting).

Moreover there is a coöpting of the movement by totally unaffected people (non-black non-poor whites) and its to the point in LA inner city “gangs” run off the middle class protesters/agitators because they don’t find affinity in them.
In that quote you picked he's referencing the amount of caffeine. With high level consumption the side effects are more pronounced. If you drop the "healthy/unhealthy" monikers when researching, there's a clearer picture of that since "healthy" is such a loaded term.
I was not aware that the UK police department had open data access. This is great and I hope other countries follow this model too.

regarding 3 wheels vs 4, I see 4 wheels having some advantages. If you picked a tricycle configuration you'd want two wheels up front and one wheel in the back for stability. If you have steering and drive in the front, you have a more complex system that doesn't get good traction going up steep hills. If you put drive up front and steering in the back you lose good handling at speed. If you put steering up front and drive in the back, you only have one wheel drive.

From growing up on a farm, tractors with tricycle gear in the front don't work as well in the snow, and I'm not certain why this is. I think it's because you have to break three paths through the snow rather than two. In addition, a four wheel setup in snow tends to go in a straight line. If you get tricycle gear stuck in a rut, you're going sideways and it can be difficult to maintain a straight line.
It's hard to ignore the siren song as a business person of comparing your 300k a year engineers to a senior engineer that costs $80k in India (regardless of the potential hidden costs of cultural and time zone differences).

This gap should probably narrow as more remote work becomes normal, and more people move out of the Valley and can actually live decently on 150k, rather than 300k.

Outside of NASA (often, literally rocket science!), where has manual memory management ever been done properly? I don't think that it ever has. For that matter, I would be unsurprised if even NASA had manual memory management failures.
Don't get me wrong, I find Rust has pretty high mental overhead. The borrow checker really is not intuitive to me.

For the niche that Go is applied in often.. .basically middleware type things, long running services, etc. I wouldn't necessarily jump to Rust.

I think Rust is well suited to lower level systems development, as a replacement for C/C++ there.

What's frustrating about Go to me is that we _need_ a nice clean compiled language with a static type system and garbage collection for services development. To replace Java, etc. But ... not this one. Go to me feels like a huge step backwards, and in my experience with code review with the Go folks at Google, it's a very strident and dogmatic language community, too.

I'd like something like OCaml, but with less functional religion, maybe.
The medical insurance is typically really good too. When my fiancé quit her job due to the hazards of working retail it turned out that for only 200 more a month we could retain her insurance and shave 12000 off the cost of having a baby. They pay for IVF too if we need it which is normally a six figure procedure.

Having a baby was otherwise so expensive we weren’t sure we could afford it.
I know in Mexico/other parts of South America they'd kidnap/abduct radio infrastructure workers for setting up/managing comms. Give them a fairly nice life too, except for the whole you're stuck in this position and we'll kill you and your family if you try to leave.

> No, that question was asked in bad faith. By asking the question, you implying that there's a conflict of interest or some monetary motivation for the decision.

It's not bad faith to ask that question, when raising the issue previously got a complete non-answer that failed to acknowledge that there was a reason behind wanting different defaults. "Why didn't you answer the question the first time?" is fair game; Poettering provoked that response.
Having worked for the Estonian government for a bit, I'm not sure that it'll exactly make you a persona non grata but definitely you'll get a ton of pushback if you make any claims about e-ID and e-voting as people have very strong feelings about it.

> How _not_ to interact with your community 101.

On the contrary, I think he handled it perfectly.

I've become exhausted with most discussions on social media, because conversations frequently get hijacked by loud people with strong opinions that don't express them in good faith. Without strict moderation, it can become impossible to have a rational discussion on certain topics. For example, pretty much anything on HN involving Google devolves into worthless noise.

In the case discussed in the OP, Poettering clearly has no intention of changing the default configuration (at least based on the reasons given in the issue), and has provided a way of modifying the configuration for those that care enough to change it. There's no value in further debate, and closing the issue to further discussion keeps Poettering and other contributors from getting distracted/burned out by unproductive conversation.

If people don't like it, they're free to fork Systemd or start up their own competing software project, and then they can handle community interaction for their own project in whatever way suits them.

Frankly, I wish more discussion were handled this efficiently.
Part of the problem is that many people lost their jobs and were/are unemployed for months, but had a tax filing in a prior year above a threshold disqualified them from receiving the $1200.

> How many packages do you, as a package maintainer, maintain? Can you say with high confidence that you are aware of all of the flags offered by all of those packages, including changes to the defaults between package releases?

Absolutely. For a responsible package maintainer, reading changelogs and release notes of new releases is a must. For sensitive software (eg: key system libraries), I usually also look at the full diff between releases. I also run tests with dependent software before uploading my version, lest I break any packages that depend on mine. etc.

And this is quite typical of your average distribution package maintainer.
Interesting as Fauci has said he'd "settle" for 70-75%. This seems too low.
Seems like they didn't sign software updates with an offline key and relied on the transport (TLS via the domain) to authenticate them.

If they used an offline key (GPG?) to sign updates, a compromised transport wouldn't have allowed an attacker to deploy malicious updates to the devices. That's exactly how most Linux distributions operate, the mirrors themselves are untrusted and packages are often fetched via unencrypted HTTP, but that doesn't matter because the signatures are checked independently of the transport.
I think the cost of an engineer is way less than 80K in India. Here in the Netherlands a senior SE would be $80K. I see no reason to go to India instead of western Europe then.
