"After leaving MDN, I took on a dual role: WADI (Web Advocacy & Developer Initiative) and Firefox OS for TV Partner Engineering. With WADI I had the pleasure of contributing to the Service Worker Cookbook. With the TV role I got a beautiful 60" ultra HD TV where I helped partners bring their video sites and games to life."

it seems there are some jobs at Mozilla that might not necessarily contribute significantly to its success.

And it looks like overall management in Mozilla is not in the greatest shape:

"When things got a bit tough at Mozilla, I shifted to Mozilla's "Productivity Tools" team. My first two weeks were nothing short of hilarious; my new manager didn't know I was a front-end engineer, so I stumbled through completing a big python migration."

I don't believe there is any existing specific exception that allows for completely compatible API s (which you appear to be claiming sql is) but not partially compatible ones (Java). Can you cite a source for this claim?
That's what folks pretend it means. IF you give citizenship to folks born there - or even born there to citizens, etc - then it isn't at all about loyalty.

Same with granting asylum seekers citizenship and so on. Same with allowing dual citizenship - are you loyal to two countries? Citizenship is never about loyalty.

Citizenship has a lot more to do with the ways you contribute to the country. Folks born in a country are likely to live there for life and contribute by speaking the local language, participating in local customs, being educated in and working in the country, and most importantly, paying taxes. This is why some categories are seen as "less important": Because folks think that some categories won't integrate enough (and it is impossible for an immigrant to ever do this, regardless of background), some won't learn enough language, or won't contribute as much. The truth of this is thrown out the window, of course, and there is no real objective test to test these sorts of things. Time in country might be one of the better tests, though it isn't perfect.

The reason it's recommended for MDMA is because it inhibits the CYP3A4 enzyme which metabolizes MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine) to MDA (3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine). MDA is more neurotoxic than MDMA which is why it's advised to reduce the amount your body intakes.

IBM contributed SQL to international standards (Or is it just ANSI? I don't care too look that up), so probably not. It isn't clear though, joining ISO generally requires you to license your patents for a "reasonable price" (Reasonably for a big company, tens to thousands of dollars....), but of course IBM didn't agree to that back then, so would courts say IBM implicitly agreed to the standards of the day where it was thought not required or not... Could go either way but I'd guess IBM would lose such a battle.

Congrats David, excited to see where you take the web next.

Personal anecdote, I've been following David since I began my professional web career back in '07. I was always impressed by each redesign of his site and all the tips, tricks, and advice he had to offer. Just a wonderful person to follow.
You are correct. It's associativity that doesn't hold, not commutativity. It really throws people off.

Oddly the same could be said for Argentina, Mexico or Venezuela, but people aren’t knocking to get into their economies. Why does the US owe the world any more than other countries?

At some point people have to be responsible for their own self determination —as leftists used to clamor for a couple of decades ago. Now they want a shortcut instead of doing the hard work to build viable economies. It took us a few hundred years to get where we are. It didn’t happen overnight. People still have no problem vilifying pioneers, but they’re the first to want the fruits of that hard labor centuries ago. Get to fixing your economies it takes time, but fortunately with the technology today and with the foundations today, we know it’s possible to turn things around in a few decades (China, S Korea, Panama, etc). Even Japan was extremely feudal up until the end of WWII.

For smartphones, Linux-based Android has the largest market share. It is linux dominated. For less smart phones, there are Linux based operating systems like KaiOS.

> gaming like Xbox and playstation

Yes, I think most deployed devices don't use Linux, and I'm not aware of any major linux using gaming console, but it's not unheard of, e.g. SNES classic mini. Also, from what I saw, Linux has a good foothold for game streaming offerings, but it's a new market and not yet established that it'll last.

Question: so if Oracle wins, does that mean no one can create compatible APIs in general?

I know a lot of folks have created compatible APIs for Amazon S3, including Oracle themselves.

Does this become against the law if Oracle wins?

Experienced this first hand. Had a crappy WiFi connection at home, started to investigate and found out that signal qulity degraded a lot when my Seagate SDD was connected on USB3.
Usually when someone on Oracle's side brings up compatibility, they are referring indirectly to the test suite required for using the Java trademarks. And they usually are also implying that compatibility should be defined solely by Sun/Oracle, ie. that Oracle should be allowed to require your own Java implementation to be fully functional and 100% compliant to their spec before it is in any way legal, and implementing a mere subset of relevant functionality is not permissible.
To bransonf's point, it's generally in your best interest to stay as current as possible on your dependencies. If a critical severity vulnerability is discovered in a dependency, you suddenly have 72 hours (or whatever your SLA is) to patch or upgrade. If that involves jumping several major versions (each with breaking changes), you're going to have a bad time. If you stay current, hopefully the delta is smaller and the task is less herculean.

I think we're mostly in agreement: copying is useful. It is not complete.

And any learning process which focuses largely on output or product rather than process, shares this deficiency.

To your other point, serendipitous discovery is very much a thing. I find that it is helped by haviing a conceptual structure or mental model which allows slotting new concepts from unrelated areas into a larger whole.

Environment and language evolving together seems very key, no pun intended. Remove the shift key, and instead of a top line number row, make it symbols instead. Embrace the punctuation instead of running away from it.
What I thought from previous articles is that this helps brute forcing passwords. Note that I do not know this for sure.

My thought was that the T2 chip is responsible for rate-limiting access to the Secure Enclave. Specifically, for rate-limiting attempts to derive a key from as user-supplied password and the secret in the Secure Enclave.

This allows for weaker passwords to be used, because brute-forcing requires the secure-enclave in the loop, and access to that enclave is rate-limited. Drop that rate-limiting, and the brute-force attack becomes a lot more viable.

As far as I know, this was at stake when the FBI wanted apple's help a while ago to decrypt an Iphone. However, I have no idea whether this is the same scheme used for MacOS devices. Nor do I know whether the T2 chip is actually responsible for rate-limiting.
OK, but that's not what this case is about.
There are notable versions of Smalltalk such as GNU Smalltalk or SOM which are not running in a virtual image, but can be used like normal file based programming languages. Virtual image based systems have some advantages, but even more disadvantages when it comes to deployment and integration. No wonder that the concept did not catch on. Today there are variants of it, e.g. in Dart, to shorten the start-up time.
I wonder how a meaningful discussion about namespace trees and API spelling takes place at the Supreme Court considering the background of the justices.

> it seems there are some jobs at Mozilla that might not necessarily contribute significantly to its success.

Important observation, and it demonstrates where room for improvement is needed and actionable. One of the failings of Mozilla was not recognizing this and making active efforts to spin out useful (but not useful to Mozilla's core efforts) projects (for example, MDN should've been spun out long ago, similar to Thunderbird).

Queue style systems usually start running into limits of the disk subsystem. Kafka is distributed log style. What that means is 'sharding' is basically built into kafka while MQ you need to build it in one layer up. Kafka can run into the same issues if you pick a poor hash for your partition. The messages per second really depends on the size of the messages too. For example in one of my tests I was hitting well over 10k-20k messages per second if the message size was 10 bytes (if my memory is working today). It dropped off dramatically as size grew. The limit was directly determined by disk and cpu. Switching to a different stack would mitigate some of that. But in the end if you expect scale (millions of messages an hour) you need a distributed system in there somewhere eventually.

Would I personally reach for kafka out of the box? Not so much. I personally think it is quite a monster to get setup correctly. If you need dual datacenter up time it also becomes very expensive as you need to buy cloudera or confluent. Or have a plan to manage it yourself which will be 'interesting'.
And the real meaning of this for actual people:

1) DRM on these machines is dead (yay).

2) "Anti-theft" features, which are really there just as an excuse to put a dedicated DRM chip into your box, are dead.

3) Physical access to your machine by a sophisticated attacker is game over (unless your data is encrypted and at rest).

I hope #3 isn't news to you, despite having an Apple logo on your machine (or Phone).
If free speech in the real world created a world of "superstition, poverty, social unrest, and war" would I consider removing free speech there too? Well, no. As history shows things are always great until they aren't, and then you're at the mercy of whoever is in charge.

I'd rather have the freedom to read what I want and say what I want, than to have it controlled by someone who says they know what's best for me.

There are many large-scale projects in biology that benefit from open collaboration. In general, these require lots of work and produce useful resources used by a whole field.

if I distribute the GPL library (say libreadline) with my app, I'd probably agree with you.

If I expect the end user to have libreadline installed on their machine (from debian / redhat repos, and for argument sake Debian/Red Hat/et al aren't distributing my app), I think I'd disagree. I'm not distributing any GPLd code.

I think its a bit more complicated if Debian/Red Hat are distributing my non GPLd app that links against a GPLd library that they also distribute, but aren't really distributing them together. The reason I say this, is because even though they are "distributing" both "together", we wouldn't say that GPLd code and BSD code that they "distribute" "together" infects the BSD code.

I might also agree that its not exactly the same issue, but I do think it should make one think about it.

Sort of. Copyright is a civil matter, not criminal, so it requires two to tango. What I mean is, you can copy the API, but then the creator can choose to sue you. Or not. It turns our mostly-open computing landscape into a stand-off, exactly like the current software patent situation. The big guys have all the guns to hold each other off, but they can all take out the small guys who threaten them.

If a company lowered your wages by wrongfully registering you for a lower paid position, they could still do so, because the crux is comparing the salary to a different demographic. The problem wasn't with the law, but with them screwing you and you not carefully reviewing the visa laws of the country you immigrated to.

It actually sounds like the new visa regulations will make immigration for entry level positions much harder. So your alternative would've likely been not getting a job in the US to begin with.

citation that the FSF believes that GPLd libraries when dynamically linked require the all the code to be GPLd?

https://gitlab.com/gnu-clisp/clisp/blob/dd313099db351c90431c...

or something else?

I agree that many create that API barrier (ex: ZFS on Linux). Those that argue that ZFS on Linux is legally problematic agree with the FSF's definition (which I would argue leads to the belief that APIs are copyrightable). Those that think ZFS on Linux is on a fine footing believe that APIs aren't copyrightable and one can create a shim to decouple your non GPLd code from GPL "libraries", especially if the coupling that ends up happening is never distributed as done by the end user.

Immaturity - it's the plague of our industry. The experts in floating point arithmetic, each having years of real-world experience, came together and hashed-out a standard embodying their collective experience. Yes, it's complicated. Yes, you need to learn it. No, you're highly unlikely to come up with anything better. Moreover, even if you did come up with something better it WILL have bugs, there WILL be edge cases that catch everyone by surprise. So instead of using a standard having 35 years worth of collective experience, whose edge cases are well-known, whose implementation is literally etched in silicon, and thousands upon thousands of libraries utilizing it - we'd rather start over and re-invent. That way we can spend the next 35 years uncovering a whole new and unknown set of issues. Sigh.
