Any place (country, city, you name it) where people have high trust in government is authorized to develop a lot of laws to "protect" citizens. Part of the trust comes from the fact that laws are not enforced (the more you have, the less anyone knows them all) and most voters feel like they are on the "good" side of the law.

However the more obscure laws and rules are out there by different agencies, the more the legal profession becomes a power. Those wealthy enough to afford multiple lawyers or tax experts also become unscathed. So government starts burdening its regular citizens far more than the most powerful. If the government, or a corrupt official, or a really bad dictatorial newly elected official ever has beef with you, or is short on money because of uncontrolled spending, they can always find a rule to convict you by to extract whatever you have they need (a decision by your company, or a vote, or your money, etc). So leftover regulatory debt needs some kind of mechanism to be cleared, or a system needs to be created that allows you to thoroughly evaluate your standing with all rules. Or you do a civic test every year and if majority of people don't know about a rule in it, the government has to drop that rule (so it puts an onus on the government to not only clean up its laws, but communicate them better, and fix/reduce them if it cant be clear about the rule).

They can't ensure mass-adoption because manufacturers modify the Android source code... for Linux computers, there's no need for that level of modification because the competition isn't fierce there.

I totally agree, at least on the desktop. My /usr isn't required for any of my customers' projects to run, and it probably shouldn't be - I have environments and VMs and containers for all that stuff.

But this is an SBC. It's likely to be configured to run its specific task forever. It should automatically log into the default user's account, and automatically start whatever software you want it to run. Software for it is likely to come from cross-compilers and to be sent over SSH.

It doesn't have hundreds of gigabytes of high-speed storage, the entire OS needs to be copied from a microSD card on every boot, so you don't want to have multiple toolchains on it.

I really like the DietPi [1] environment for these purposes (though it doesn't currently support have the Jetson Nano), the setup scripts make it easy to configure the OS for exactly the tools you want.

Im not disagreeing with you but fyi will crichton definitely knows what he is talking about. He teaches Programming Language courses at Stanford and his brother is the all-time top contributor to Rust. So, pedagogy + rust is sort of his thing.

If you disagree, look at the public reaction to BLM protests (Or public perception of the police in places like the USSR).

Required now means requires forever because people can't migrate safely. But technically you can change a protocol descriptor from required to optional, which is invalid (usually, in a distributed non-transactional system (the common kin) but nothing stops you from doing it.
So why not make required forever? Well, do you really want to commit to anything forever?

It's not mind-boggling; we've just forgotten what it's like to buy and carry physical maps (or give/remember directions, or a stand-alone GPS device), have a physical address/contact book, use a tape recorder, etc. Now those things are all in one device. It is extremely convenient, but in general none of those features need to exfiltrate data from your device.

If you ask me, device owners should have unimpeachable control over what data, if any, is sent from their devices.

Most people don't even use "continuous electricity": other than a few choice appliances (refridgerators, HVAC systems), the vast majority of consumer electricity demand waxes and wanes with their waking hours almost exactly as you would expect.

It feels like yet another case of trying to blame consumers for industrial problems. If there are places that have high demand load on a continuous basis, it would be large industrial applications running three+ shifts.

> The more I use linux (and I'v been for almost 15 years), the more strongly believe that using what the Linux distros provide as a development toolchain is an antipattern.

Your assertion makes no sense. Let me explain why.

You've adopted a LTS release which was made public 2 years ago, was already a couple of years in the making, and is aimed at establishing a solid and reliable base system that can be targetted by the whole world with confidence.

And knowing that, your idea is to bolt on custom tooling that's not installed anywhere or by no one by default and make it your own infrastructure?

Unless you're planning on managing that part of the infrastructure for your customers to use, your race to catch up with the latest and greatest makes zero sense, and creates more problems than those you believe you're solving.

And no, it's not an infrastructure problem. It's a software engineering problem that's yours in the making. If you seek stability and reliability then you target stable and reliable platforms, such as the stuff distributed by default by LTS releases such as Ubuntu 18.04. because that's what they are used for.

I think it really has more to do with the fact that it was originally only designed with print flow in mind. Like laying out a magazine with columnar text.

When it was initially designed there was an expectation that structural layout would happen outside of it and then you'd flow your text and other inline/block objects within that.

Most everything since then has just been about trying to get css back to the structural flexibility people had in 1996 with tables, while still trying to keep the flow flexibility css brought (and then, as you say, adding on media-type flexibility). It's not a surprise this turned out ugly.
Your right about the sync and dependency issue. Big reason why in JS land you treat each mutation of the data as immutable destruction and refresh of an object is to eliminate any old references that might not of been cleaned up by the garbage collector.

Data Oriented Programmming is both old and new. In that it does not have the same amount of programming patterns that OOP has. As it is a more bare metal means of programming without a ton of abstraction to ease most programmers into it.

Where I find the idea interesting is concurrent and parallel processes are more natural in the data oriented. And that is through immutablility and ownership as first principles.
My commit history doesn’t always reflect my mental processes in a way I expect others to follow. Particularly when I’m rationalizing committing work in progress before leaving for lunch or before writing experimental code. So rebasing to consolidate a couple commits and reorder some others is helpful.

The commit history is performance art. You don’t need to know that I left out a comma. Or that I tried to make a bit of code easier to read but introduced regressions in the process (that also breaks bisect). You do need to know that I changed this code over here because I changed the code over there and broke something, because I either missed something or you’ll have the same issue the next time.

I think what made it click for me was thinking of explosions. Think of something like the detonation of ammonium nitrate. It is incredibly fast on a human timescale. It is just a chemical reaction. Chemistry can happen at insane speeds. Even the monstrous molecules of biology can interact at incomprehensible speeds.

That is an awful lot of stuff that has to go right or else we die.

>Why would you voluntarily do it?

I can tell you why I personally don't care. First off here in Germany I'm pretty sure it's not legally possible for authorities to request my voice commands randomly and due to GDPR I can delete all my recordings at any point, and turn off personalisation meaning they wouldn't use my individual data.

Secondly I just don't say anything in my home that's super secret, I live in an apartment and I'm pretty sure the neighbours can hear me talking on my balcony, and I'm in voice chats most of the day these days due to covid which probably accidentally means more people listen in because I forget to press mute than some guy at Amazon.

The problem is not on squash. The problem is on "PR" itself.

The pull request workflow popularized by Github and adopted by others (like Gitlab) is just bad for code reviews. They force you to choose between squash and history. Making several, smaller PRs are not the universal solution either. In a lot of cases those PRs have a dependency over each other and dependent PRs is also a pain in the ass in Github's PR workflow.

In a better code review system you don't have to make that choice. For example, in Gerrit (I _think_ this is also similar in phabricator, but I'm less familiar with that), every code review will end up a single commit when it's merged (if you configured it so, and that's the default configuration), and you don't lose the history during the workflow, all the intermediate states are stored as git refs on the server (you can't use bisect on them though, but they are there and you could write your own custom script similar to bisect to loop through them). Code reviews with dependencies are also handled naturally.

Presuming if you are 100% sure what "invalid" is: It is possible that being _unable_ to represent a logic error might mean that a logic error is represented as a "valid but incorrect" value, which is even more dangerous.

Take the example of storing a continuous series of date ranges. If I only store the first date of each pair, I can never accidentally have an overlap or gap. But if my code has a logic error that incorrectly calculates a range, being able to represent it could throw an error. If that code error translates to an incorrect break-point instead, I haven't prevented a bug, I've hidden it.
