Cost Cutting Tips for Startups
The median might have done well, but we know for a fact that inequality has risen dramatically in the past 40 years, mostly as an effect of big tax cuts to the wealthy. I'd be interested in seeing an analysis dividing the population in bottom 50, top 10 and middle 40, post-tax.

This is the most similar thing I could quickly find

http://piketty.pse.ens.fr/files/ideologie/pdf/G11.7.pdf

and it seems to show that low-income salaries have largely stagnated for the last 50 years. I don't think it's debatable that places like the Greater Boston area have seen increases in rent that have gone faster than inflation. Combine the two phenomena and you'll see how many people are priced out of large attractive cities.
Isn't this dangerous? Scripts with and without comments don't behave the same. Invariant violation.

The Flatpak model is good for "pet apps" where you have a company, team, project whose entire job is to make this one app. Relying on upstream to fix security vulns is less of an issue because these companies have incentive to fix them. Spotify, Teams, Skype, Bitwarden, Slack are all pet apps.

The Flatpak model is terrible for distros who are already strained for people and who benefit from factoring as much of the work as possible out of each application so you only have to update one place and push out a fix everywhere.

They said that they didn’t want you to not get credit because you worked for hours on a PR only for it to be not accepted because the maintainers didn’t like it for some reason. Even if that reason was that it wasn’t any work at all. But I think they want people to mark real-bad PRs as spam so they can not count them.
We're using the term compression in its usual CS meaning. As you say, it's well known that a compression algorithm can't compress every input.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression#Limitatio...

For a program to be credibly called a compression algorithm, it just has to work well in compressing a certain class of expected inputs. The issue of whether it's bijective or not doesn't really have anything to do with this.

To try to explain it one last time: a bijective decompressor makes no assumptions about file format or well-formedness of the compressed data. It will happily "decompress" any file. That's what the term means. The name might not be self-explanatory but it makes good sense, just like "homomorphic encryption".

As a mapping from files to files, a bijective compressor is surjective (as well as being injective like any other lossless codec). The consequence of this is that any file is a possible output of the compressor. And so on.

...and I'm done here.

A few hidden Visual Studio features
POSIX had a patch update 3 years ago, a minor update 12 years ago, and a major update 19 years ago.

That's the problem.

The desktop distros could and should have done a lot better to coordinate on fundamentals of user experience in the age of the open/hostile Internet and frequently updated software.
And keeping Qt up to date the system-packages way works fine without needing flatpak et al. I don't think that's coincidence.
You really want to be comparing distribution curves rather than looking at any single average.
MAD as a concept faded out in the early 1980s. Improved accuracy led to the policy of counterforce ( against enemy military assets ) instead of countervalue ( cities and social structure ).

MAD was a necessary compromise when delivery accuracy and certainty were insufficient to target individual threat sites. It led to enormous megatonne weapons. Whereas modern counterforce involves small-yield warheads placed accurately.
Parent showed the general process. The implementation can change. If you're in any recent Linux desktop, you can click on the archive and it will open in file explorer so you can copy the app anywhere. No commandline required.
Climate change is as much a social problem as any. While I do think the constant focus on individual responsibility and small changes within domestic households is largely a misdirect to divert attention from real systemic & political/corporate causes of climate change, those large political/corporate entities are still ultimately sustained by societal behaviour; we would literally need to change everything (at the very least in the western world) to avert climate change, which is very much a social challenge.

> Climate change is a slow process

This may have been true in the 50s or 60s. It sounds like that's the last time you took an interest in this topic.

> Technology is fast enough to catch up with it and solve it

Is this satire?

> Automation is too(And my guess in the near future, it would be a much bigger problem)

People have been saying this since ancient Rome or before (see Vespasian), but it hasn't happened nor will it ever. This (unlike privacy) is a phantom problem.
There probably is some value, and demand, for cloud products which reduces dependency/control by a single company.

The model seems very hard to execute on though; Diaspora comes to mind.

I think there's a mismatch between what people say they want ("I care about owning my data") vs how they behave ("I'll go with whatever is most convenient").
"Everyone knows the saying that ‘time flies when you’re having fun. But the full story might be nuanced: Time flies when you’re having more fun than you expected."

Is it such a new concept? I mean if I am just enjoying playing a game, sure I am not so engrossed in the process and might be thrown out of the mood and focus elsewhere. Time does not really appear to be "flying".

I understand the common feelings too have to be checked by science, but if it rings true already, is it a big revealation?
I like this just because its cool, but I agree with your point that just the raw parts with basically invisible electrons flowing through probably doesn't help teach. A light up diagram where you can see the signals and their values moving through the network slowly might be a good teaching aid, but I don't think it would help with much other than the absolute basics of "what even is a neuron" type knowledge.

Transport Tycoon was the first game I remember playing. What a great game.

The first computer I was on played it so slowly that trains would jump around like a slideshow. That was normal. When we upgraded and they ran smoothly it was mind blowing.
I’m not usually one to call bs but the dude said he went from customer service to learning to code to being interested in “the crypto space” in the span of 3 years. That’s an enormous red flag for me...

I would love to know the proportion of people at, say, 25 that can afford to buy a house (in the area they grew up and of some reasonable size e.g. 3 bedroom) over time. Sure, income has gone up, but so have house prices and so that proportion has surely collapsed. That has a much bigger effect on young peoples' lives than the number of luxury items they can buy and stuff into the property that they don't have.

Edit: I found this interesting graph for the UK (where I live) [1]. It shows the ratio of average house price to average annual income. Not perfect measure as distribution of income over age brackets is probably more imbalanced now due to starting work later (18 - 25 rather than 16 - 21) but still interesting. Brief textual summary:

* 1920 - 1945: 5 ish

* 1945 - 1955: 6 - 7 (brief spike)

* 1960 - 2000: 4 - 5 (with occasional spike to 6)

* 2000 - 2020: 8 - 9 (with dip in the middle but still above 7)

Edit 2: Here in the UK the problem is particularly acute in the suburbs of the big cities, especially London, because the ability to build new housing is artificially restricted by the green belt legislation [2].

I'm no hugo expert, but that's likely possible. After all, the JS files are static content. You can probably modify the theme's template to load the js from the origin.

I guess the whole point of using cloudflare as the cdn is so that people can reuse this from cache.
High altitudes are a social construct, duh.
But they also use a lot of system libraries.

E.g. they likely will not bundle openssl but use the systems openssl.
I think it’s exactly correct that a post-secondary education is a reliable guarantee for an upper-middle-class way of life (depending on the degree, of course).

That being said, it isn’t clear that those that go without a post-secondary education are necessarily less able to afford one today than they were in 1991.

1. The net tuition (not the sticker price, which only the rich really pay) is moderately higher, adjusted for inflation -> https://twitter.com/CPopeHC/status/1301975027147997189

2. And while private tuition has always been expensive, the majority of Americans attend public universities (myself included) -> https://www.statista.com/statistics/183995/us-college-enroll...

3. And while there has been a modest increase in the inflation-adjusted price, the ROI of college degrees has increased more than the price. The net result is that the median number of years to recoup the cost of a bachelors degree, adjusted for inflation, has gone down since the 1980’s, from about 22 years to about 10 years -> https://libertystreeteconomics.newyorkfed.org/2014/09/the-va...
I believe that's what RCS is. It's slowly getting implemented by various carriers.

Well, you can name me the most successful person then.
> By definition, the “cluster” below the median is exactly half, regardless of the shape of the distribution.

Right, but that doesn't measure how for away from the median the upper and lower clusters are.

> Also, the median number of years to recoup the cost of a bachelors degree, adjusted for inflation, has gone down since the 1980’s, from about 22 years to about 10 years

That would be consistent with a hypothesis that real wages have increased for higher earners and decreased for lower earners, right?
Because then you wouldn’t get to use the blockchain /s

I read this article for far too long trying to find some more detail on how, or why, the blockchain enabled him to create a privacy centered document writing service but found nothing. Another solution looking for a problem I suppose
Google Docs (and modern versions of Microsoft 365) offers a much nicer experience for a lot of writing work, so I can see why the author would prefer it to an offline solution—especially for creative writing. I like being able to write on my phone in the Google Docs app while on the subway or somewhere where using a laptop is inconvenient. I like being able to share a document and collaborate on it without emailing a copy back and forth. I also like Google Apps Script when I need to extend Google Sheets; I never learned VBA, but JavaScript is a much more normal programming language.
The user-facing impact of switching to git is that committing is faster and you get much better branching and merging. The user-facing impact of switching to Wayland is that you stop being able to run GUI programs over SSH.
Maybe playing with derivatives was considered to be something similar to gambling and that's why it attracted regulators attention. There is a lot of "currencies" like loyalty points, games currencies, etc. which do not require KYC checks (for now, at least)?
> dynamically link to system libraries

It's very likely for openssl ;=)
It's alive and well in Vue.js single-file components (SFC). Once built, it is implemented by using data attributes in the CSS selectors.

Component-scoped styles is a very handy feature. It could be achieved just by leveraging selector specificity, but that's rather complex and a lot of people hate CSS so less cognitive overhead is better.

This is why I love Vue. It's basically the nightly version of HTML/CSS/JS. The syntax from this article is already familiar from Vue. It extends web standards, rather than replacing them, IMO.
In the case of the bar exam, they just need to get over it. Bar applicants have to pass an incredibly intrusive background check, then we trust them with the lives and livelihoods of their clients, to hold thousands and thousands of other people's funds, etc. So let's trust them not to cheat.
?????????????????

Sure you will lose a little bit, like 2 or 3% a year. But if you have nothing saved then what will you do in case of an emergency? such as losing a job?
A company can limit themselves to only use technology that exist in the public domain or has no conditions applied. I would however question how effective that is in term of competition in a competitive market where smaller and more agile companies can leverage the ability to internally use GPL in order to push out products faster and cheaper without wasting unnecessary time to re-implement tools used internally.

As a example, I have never seen a gaming company having internal policy against GPL. Developers are limited in including software that would disrupt the primary business model, but otherwise limiting developers on what they can do when experimenting or internally developing would only delay launches and steal developer time which could be allocated to improve the game.
A partial answer: Googling 'japan fax' would give you many articles attesting that faxes are still a stable for communication in offices.

e.g. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/coronavirus-ja...

> Japan’s health ministry has said it will allow health centres to report new coronavirus cases online, instead of by handwritten faxes, after a doctor lambasted the legal requirement.

Another very externally visible example is that the Japanese have taken a long time to transition from SHIFT_JIS to Unicode on the web, and on Windows.
Alright. And people have the right of being distasteful, it's an essential part of freedom of speech.
Word isn't really an alternative to Google Docs. There's no multi-user collaboration mode without an Office365 account, you can't really share a document with someone who doesn't have Word, you don't always have access to the latest version wherever (with other people's edits), etc. There definitely is a market for a Google docs alternative.
If I could get the same things from distro I would maybe be more inclined to use distro packages, but in many cases I cannot.

My distro either does not have the things I use from flatpak or have them with some deficiency (like older version or compiled features).

I can still get rpms for some, like Teams, but that also comes with bundled libraries and the Teams flatpak does have very tight restrictions so if I am concerned for the rest of my system flatpak is more secure.

For some other things on that list there are no rpms however.

So yes, you are more exposed to the maintainers behaving well, but you are also more insulated than just running things without any sandboxing.

And that cluster can be anywhere below the median that is the problem. It could even be at zero.
Relative to running the same application without flatpak:

- You'd expect the application to run as your user and have full access to the home directory. Many applications expect to have this access. This is what it means to have user space applications. Flatpak is not about fixing or changing this.

- You'd expect individual applications might have out of date dependencies. Depending on the application this might be completely fine. This is not a security risk of flatpak but of the application. Developers are responsible for releasing updates, not flatpak.

So, works as advertised and intended. If your flatpak install has security bugs, update it. If you use a linux distribution that ships an out of date flatpak with fixed security issues, consider using a different one or update it yourself. If you use flatpak apps from developers that can't be bothered to release updates or fix bugs, consider using something else.

Basically, flatpak not being a middlemen between you and the application developers kind of is the whole point. They don't mention sandboxing on their frontpage, at all. This is not a goal. Instead, providing a cross distribution consistent installation experience is the main goal. They are not trying to be more secure than manually installing packages on your system.

So, these are not security bugs as far as I can see. It's not a security nightmare. It's fine. Actually looks interesting and might give it a try if/when I get rid of my mac.

"But here’s the thing. That was 100% luck. Don’t let anyone with a similar experience tell you otherwise. Luck happens."

This sentiment is starting to get really old and I'm reading it a lot lately. Luck happened after he'd put in the time and effort to build a solid product, launch it and make it available for public consumption. He didn't just get lucky and make a product appear out of thin air.

"Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."

When you have a product to sell, you're able to capitalize on the opportunity to market and sell that product. Those opportunities don't present themselves until you have put in the work.
Man, they're awful :(

I looked into Python and regex
I would not really call RPM Fusion a PPA - it's basically a repo with packages that are inherent not open source or patent encumbered and can't thus be in regular Fedora repos (and Copr actually). Otherwise the community maintains it to a very similar standard as the regular Fedora repos.

Compared to that Copr is a real PPA where you can build stuff into personal repo (as long as its built from source, licensing is fine & the thing is not patent encumbered).
You've skipped CVE.

Flatpak has a lot of claims [1], author feels them as a lie. And he provides facts in support. Linux "next generation technology" would certainly alert users of insecure application. This does not. The story of themes and dbus shows how hard it is to contain all dependencies.

Also there were a lot of claims here that Linux distributions makes no good, static linking is better and libraries would be patched.

Now lets switch perspective. Windows users are perfectly fine running closed source software which may contain outdated dependencies. Most of them are not updated anyway. And it has gallery, something Winget still lacks. Looks like next gen. What is cry for open source developer may be fine for consumer.

Personally I'm fine with Flatpak, Appimage. There should be some way to install proprietary software. And some starting point to make it safe.

Would 'median disposable income' be a good proxy for that?

Not reliable at all if you have a bimodal or multimodal distribution.
Rumor is that there will be a 48gb Ampere Titan. Nvidia has never been one to shy away from making money!
It is sandboxed, sandboxed in this context just does not say anything about filesystem access. But it still says something about how it is running and again most people would exect something like gimp to have access to the host filesystem when they install it. You have options to whitelist specific directories in flatseal if you want to restrict it more.
It's not just a character and fitness check for past conduct. Almost all states require that students pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) for admission to the bar. In some ways it's like the bar exam, but it tests knowledge of the rules of professional conduct (~lawyer ethics).

Anarchy. Steve Jobs / Tike Cook can declare one package format for Mac. No one can do that for Linux. With a single distro leadership can sometimes do it, but there isn't enough funding to solve problems within a single distro.

That's interesting, your peer commenters have observed almost the opposite thing.

You note that government may want to target individuals to prevent the spread of misinformation more effectively.

The others note that misinformation spreaders may want to target inviduals to spread misinformation more effectively.

Sounds like individual-targeting is a weapon for both sides.
