Anonymous Writing (Write WhatEver-the-Fuck)
Being generous and ethical is also a form of human corruption harming the corporate entity. From the corporation's hypothetical point of view, any time a person doesn't do exactly what the corporation needs, isn't the perfect mindless drone, (or isn't creative in just the right inoffensive way), they're a cancer cell in the corpus. But I think this goes for red tribe, as well as blue tribe thinking, as you posit.

After all, you'd be hard-pressed to argue that corporations, especially silicon valley corps, give more lip service to red tribesmen than blue. Maybe that's just because the blue tribe is the more powerful, and the corps are rightfully saying the magic words that allow them to keep their profits.

I've installed wikijs for a small team of developers at their request.

The biggest selling point for this piece of software, compared to showing them 5 other alternatives, is that it looks good, it's eye candy. And that is exactly what I've seen people want from software like these. They want to feel good when they open it and browse, they want to see a modern look, it makes the experience of using and maintaining a knowledge base more appealing so they engage more. Feature wise it's no confluence, nor xwiki, it's just a page editor with user management, but it's quick to set up, uses extreemely little memory by default, feels fast and looks good, so they don't mind if they see some functionality missing.

Among more and more tools that I install for people I see this pattern where they are judged by their looks above features, and it's not easy for me to fully understand it... But then again I started learning and programming ruby for the same reason, it looked and felt good, so I stuck with it.

So I guess the big takeaway here is not a large pepperoni pizza from domino's, but the fact that software looks matter, a lot, and it's probably going to matter more and more in the future.
No, but they need to make logical decisions about which market to invest in, and it seems they've picked a favorite and decided ?

If I was making that decision, it would be clearly easier to do business in India rather than China and likely far more lucrative with less concerns about property theft, censorship and the stain that human rights abuses will leave.

I don't know if you've ever tried to setup anything in China, it's not exactly a straight forward process or something you'd want to have to do often.
Could we please all agree that a paywall article is super annoying and is just advertisement?
> Private industry is certainly not immune from incompetence or accounting scandals. Wirecard just happened, and history has many other examples. Corruption exists in both private and public sectors.

This is getting way off-topic, but there is one key advantage to private industry: there are typically competitors. A bad CEO can ruin one firm, but a bad politician can ruin a country. Also typically, a bad CEO may not use armed men to force his employees to do things; a bad politician may.

You're completely ignoring the argument. The purpose of the internet is not recording information for all eternity. It's to transmit information from person to person. If you want to preserve information then write a book and publish it. It will be archived in organizations that specialize in archival. They allow the internet as a communication method but in theory nothing prevents you from just driving to the location and reading the book on site without the internet.
[Rant]

It's all business for them. They don't love Linux anymore than they do FLOSS. Argument would be, "but Microsoft is one of the biggest open source contributors". It's like philanthropy, you give money to those in need, but don't fundamentally address the problem, but make it look like you do.

All the corporations that contribute to open source projects in terms of man power & finance, do so because they can create more business opportunities & make them noble in eyes of public. But, what they do is take open source projects that have "permissive license" & are growing in popularity. Then contribute, add in proprietary code, sell them as enterprise solutions. In the end, the user of that program is denied any freedom to study the code & modify for their own needs.

A big tech that open sources its internal software can do so for any reasons and let me say one of them. They get a community that basically maintains the software, writes documentation, add features & fix bugs for frere. The tech could then hire people trained with that software which they open sourced, saving them training costs.

Licenses from OSI & BSD suffer from their "permissive" nature. They think about freedom, but not for who. They think that the ability for a user to not turn a open source software into a proprietary one, is restricting their freedom.

But, Free Software thinks the opposite, and puts people who are denied freedom . Free Software with its Copyleft license, guarantees user the absolute freedom to do anything with the program they got for free/money, provided they give the same freedom to others. Basically make the freedom go viral.
Who would really rely on a single, external, free, no-guarantees service and not have redundancy to tolerate some hours of downtime?

Make github a mirror (at least source-wise) and you can benefit from it's outreach without being held hostage. Am happy with that e.g. https://notabug.org/mro/ShaarliOS/src/master/doap.rdf Inspired by https://indieweb.org/POSSE

I am using Artix right now. Arch with no systemd. It has it own repos with -s6 -runit and -openrc packages, and uses the Arch repos for fallback.

It's been pretty smooth sailing just a few slight quirks you need to keep in mind. Would suggest checking it out if you get a chance.

Swift / Vapor is amazing as well. They just released version 4, which streamlined and tidied up lots of things, can't recommend it enough. There's just something solid about Swift's strictness and compile time checks, that make it easy to be sure you're handling all possible code paths, and you can be reasonable confident it works and won't break all the time. Also very lean on dependencies, mostly unopinionated, and performance/mem-usage is top tier too. Only con is probably, you're bound to Xcode (and therefore macOS) for development, I guess you could try to set it up in VSCode, but haven't heard of it and experience will probably be not so good.
I think a better characterization of the fallacy is that it is indeed a non-sequitur, but it hides the "provided n meets some criteria" by bamboozling you with "arbitrarily chosen" elements from a set of n+1 so that you might fail to spot where you need 3 elements in a set that potentially has a cardinality of 2.
India is generally more culturally and politically similar to the west than China. Unless they decide to embark on some unexpected imperialist conquest, I don’t think they’ll have such an active movement to divest from them in the future.
I've found a couple of bugs: Every time I import a audio file, either 16 bit wav or 320kbps mp3, it tells me the audio file is invalid. The app still works though. However, when I try to output the video a) I can't set either the start or the end time, and b) I'm not quite sure why there's an audio file select step in the save video dialog, but I also get the audio file invalid message there too. Either one or both of these things means I can't actually export the video.

This app is _really_ promising though, thanks. Very much looking forward to where you take it.

I could see it with the naked eye in a severely light polluted area but this was after confirming its location with binoculars, I'm not confident I would have found it otherwise.
I mean, you're not alone. Nobody takes Roko's basilisk seriously.
It doesn't just assume that, it proves it - but the proof has the hidden assumption that there are at least 3 elements in the set (of k+1 elements).
But... if I cannot describe it as a buzz word on my resume, clearly it is worthless.

He's definitely talking about JPM. Since he's drawing parallels to AWS Lambda, I reckon he'll be talking about their grid compute.

Not sure when the bank deprecated IE though - it was certainly in use for most internal sites when I left in 2018.
I can see why buying ARM would be a problem for antitrust laws but I don't see why it would be the case for NVIDIA. It seems that ATI/AMD were a stronger competitor to NVIDIA on the GPU side that they were to Intel on the CPU one.

China PR makes me question a lot of things. For example, I’ve always been told that protectionism doesn’t work but with the great firewall it seems to work just fine in China PR. How do I explain it?
> I haven’t found one as good as ublock origin.

That's because ublock origin uses an API that is not available on iOS/Safari

If you want to be generous to Apple, they're trying to stop the 90% of trash adblockers like ABP, and great adblockers like UBO are collateral damage.

A cynic would say that's a combination of an admission their app store review process can't catch evildoers; and a cynical result of the fact the app store is plastered in (presumably very profitable) ads.

I wonder if tts readers like google assistant's "read it" feature improve this situation.

At least for me, having 2 sources of information greatly increases the degree of comprehension and reduces eye fatigue.
I use it and it works quite fine! Just a few differences you need to learn, all of which are noted on their concise wiki. It's best to think of Arch as the fallback distro, therefore all other information is obtained from the Arch wiki as normal.
True, some more daring people go to google and search for "adblock" when I tell then they should install an adblocker, and I have to correct them and pitch "ublock origin", and that's when the defensive stance happens. They ask: "Why? Why not adblock? What's the difference? There's also an ublock without the origin part in the name, why is that, why use the other? it has the same logo..."
Pretty sure there is a little bit of China exit strategy here as well. The actions taken in Hong Kong along with recent invasion demonstrations against Taiwan don't exactly make for a stable business environment. What is a business to do if China acts violently on either and suddenly your supply chain if off limits because of sanctions?

Still after moving segments to India the next area is where? Africa is still a source of cheap labor but too many countries there suffer from stability issues. Figure within a generation it will be both viable market and manufacturing base.
That's not the problem at all.
I remember time when most distributions included mc (with its text editor mcedit) by default.

I've got used to that editor (it's actually pretty advanced, it has macros, syntax highlighting, word-completion, and you can run shell scripts/oneliners on selected text to replace it with the result).

Then most distributions removed mcedit and now I have to use vi (which I hate) or nano (which is too simplistic for anything other than changing one value in a config file) or install additional packages (which is often impossible on a remote server).
This is the main reason why I haven't ditched linux as well. Most of my servers are BSD, but I use the Jetbrains IDEs extensively on my development machine and although most of them work okay on the BSDs, CLion is a complete mess on OpenBSD because a lot of the features use their custom Clangd.

Not unfair, but you've had a lifetime of non-dyslexic reading to perfect this skill.

It may be exaggerated, but I found it interesting to see the difficulties that dyslexics have to put up with. I really empathise with children trying to learn to read with this condition.

I have no problem with FTDI making their Windows driver not work with clone devices, but leaving that device undamaged and working once removed and plugged into a different machine.

That is a reasonable action and would be enough to cause at least one more round of cat and mouse with the clone makers, putting a massive dent into their economics.

If they’d done that, it might have given FTDI a positive reputation (like the top brands of Taiwanese capacitors) instead of this self-inflicted punch-in-the-face.

I’m just a hobbyist (50-100 boards/year) and so don’t matter to FTDI economics, but CH340s go in my devices now because I don’t trust FTDI at all.

> By media? Does it mean the Spanish government owns the majority of newspapers and TV stations? That's not the idea I had from Spain.

Well, that's what happend, IDK if that has anything to do with ownership or not, but I mean, the message of the government was followed by media to the inch, with very few exceptions here and there.

> I wonder how a regional government with no power, as the central government took it from them, could have done a better job at anything.

Because before the central government took control they already buyed masks, gloves, respirators and put some protocols in place. In fact later on some of this stuff was sent to Madrid.

Not to mention that there was a lot of arguments between the central government and some regions on how to manage the situation, and some disobedience too.

> Would the symmetrical statement, that you can only meaningfully agree with an expert if you are humble and have done your homework, be true?

Not really, because the experts agree on millions of details that I can look up -even if I don't fully understand them- meanwhile the other side (e.g antivaxxers) don't agree in anything significant and asking them simple basic questions unmask they know nothing about the subject (e.g. ask an antivaxxer some highschool chemistry questions about mercury). So unless you believe it's a giant conspiracy involving every expert in the world plus your highschool teachers plus a lot of books it's easy to claim that I meaningfully agree with the experts even if I don't understand the subject as much as them.
Probably more than a grain of truth in there, but there is a cyclical element at work here: not enough sleep -> less efficient the next day -> more stressful -> even less sleep. There are a lot of those cycles at work here all of which can have cause/effect switched around at will and still be valid. So sleeping better has remarkably reduced my stress levels.

But thank you for pointing this out.

I had to look up counter-currents. Without looking too far into it, it seems to be a white nationalist publication.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Johnson_(white_nationalist)

I forced myself to read it since I don't read outside my bubble enough.

Two things I thought were interesting:
- half-life is a game that has been enjoyed by people across the political spectrum. Yet the experience of the underlying themes of the game be very different.
- A large portion of the write up is dedicated to not being deceived by chasing false enemies constructed by a higher power. Yet the article then goes on to imply the Jews and elite left use "minorities" as a false enemy to distract from their power. I feel that the author succumbed to the same trap of tunnel vision by blaming a group for the world's problems, instead of identifying what those problems actually are.
In one direction this is true. But there is also another one: There is no scientific theory that humans are useful, on the contrary, they are probably very detrimental to other forms of life and countless studies underline this fact. But every time it is suggested to get rid of humans, the responses are quite mixed.

I think the essence of the statement is to highlight the limits of science.

Where science can have negative effects can be frequently shown in economic theories in my opinion. They are reductive ad absurdum and I think it highlights sciences tendency to be approximative at best.

And global warming might be a scientific fact, the response is undeniably political. We had experts to COVID-19 and they are furious about how they were depicted in media as authoritative voices, since scientists value the relativity of their statements. Mask are one example. If someone declares that he just takes the risks of not wearing any, science has no answer to that. If you think it unethical to endanger others who do wear a mask, science has no answer here either.

This was the point here: to be aware of the limitations of science and not succumb to idolatry of scientists or experts. It may still be wise to listen to them from time to time. Didn't happen on anything related to informational technology and politics in my opinion.
I wonder if this is a response to the recent $1 billion Foxconn investment.
Protectionism works when you're weak and try to develop your own industry (all East Asian countries followed that path). Protectionism hinders you if you're strong and try to penetrate other countries' markets. Protectionism is often detrimental to consumers.

Nothing is black and white.
I'd like to see the spread in statistics of what OS, platform, browser is doing the most blocking and who's most underrepresented. Not wanting to be tracked is very reasonable, but these I would guess are mostly to be your power users anyhow and now you're making decisions around people that may understand your product best.
It seems to primarily be something that people feel in comparison to other politicians in the handling of Covid-19, though I don't know whether that's super accurate - Germany is very different from e.g. the US, it's not the person in charge that makes the big difference. In other areas (e.g. digitalization, nuclear power etc), I never got the impression that she was ruling as a scientist.

Her governing style in general is pretty normal for a career politician in my opinion. She'll wait for the debate to lean heavily to one side and then add her weight to that side.

Did your friend consider that differently in e.g. the early 2000s? Stability has always been a major driving force in Germany, and previous chancellors have not been scientists, so I'm not so sure that it has any influence, really.

I think you're looking at it the wrong way, the actual flight controls are pretty rudimentary and simple to understand. The dials represent information and tools available to the pilot should they need them. They're all pretty simple taken in isolation, and they usually have configurable warning states, so you don't need to watch them like a hawk.

Also, you can halve the count in most cockpits, as they'll be redundancy duplicates or co-pilot duplicates. Cognitive load during flight is pretty low, too, so plenty of time to keep an eye on things. Landings and take offs are prepared for with plenty of time ahead (at least they should be) so again, plenty of time to check and configure.

Almost no full stack developers are expected to work with assembly (unless explicitly stated) so that seems more than a little hyperbolic.

Full-stack in its common usage doesn't mean "everything and nothing." People might disagree about where the exact boundaries are, but there are a lot of people who definitely don't count by any definition so it does convey information.

Those who only work with HTML & CSS & client-side javascript are definitely not doing full-stack development. Nor or those doing purely server-side work, database administration, cloud computing, systems/network programming, etc. that never involves a UI with user interaction of any kind. That's quite a lot of people who would immediately understand that they don't meet the qualifications for a position that requires experience as a full stack developer.
