The lie is in the comparison with "regular PCs."

> Proprietary bootloader technology that Broadcom maintains is secret stopped the community hacking together USB boot, keeping us tied to bloody MicroSD cards and all the palava which is adherent to that.

I get that you don't like this stuff you're complaining about. If you sincerely think this is any worse than the situation with "regular PCs," go look for the disk that came with your PC with the source code for your BIOS ROM.

(This is an aggravating one, since there are plenty of PCs in the world that could use a microcode patch via the BIOS right now)

> Proprietary GFX hardware which needs paid for codes to use (see comment earlier about Malaysia).

More open source code is available for more GPU functionality on the Pi than is available for the Nvidia graphics cards I've used for decades. That's not saying much, given how bad Nvidia is about this stuff, and how anemic the Pi GPU really is, but I'm not the one making these crazy comparisons.

It's like this with every aspect of this comparison. You need to be unaware of anything about how PCs are put together to buy it for a minute. PCs are full of proprietary stuff.
Much you like yourself, your questions is retarded. Teams is not web dev you moron.
99% of files I work with are <1000 lines, so I don't mind. For larger files I will fall back to Vim.

The important thing to realize is that text editor performance is less about the technology used and more about the data structures and i/o.
I rarely open gigabyte single-line files, but when I do, I don't want to switch editor.

Most of the time I only realize that everything is on a single line after opening the file.

A good editor doesn't require me to think about these things.

An alternative to attempting to tax companies, is to tax people.

There is no company that would just exist to forever eat money away from the public. Eventually they intend to pay the profits to a real person (either in money, or other benefits). Taxing that dividend or salary transaction might be simple enough to just work. And you have a real person to put to jail when the taxes were avoided.

>simply by the use of genercs

It depends on what you mean by "generics". Functors are generics, but very powerful ones, akin to packages in Ada.

They are way more generic than what parametric polymorphism allows you to do in F#, they support Higher Kinded Types, module can have many type variables within it etc etc.
There are actually very detailed rules about how personal use of corporate planes needs to be reported for both tax purposes and shareholder reporting purposes.

Even if a plane is already going from City A to City B for business purposes, if the CEO brings a spouse along for personal reasons, there can be reporting consequences. Of course, this only matters if the company is under sufficient scrutiny to actually report such details.

> Saying China did a good job is like saying the USA should suspend the Constitution and do the same thing

This is a ridiculous statement.

China has done a good job on dealing with Covid and so have South Korea and Taiwan. Restrictions are all mostly lifted within these countries and life is mostly back to normal.

They key to their responses is not that they are awful dictatorships. They were prepared, they have taken strong and necessary measures and their population voluntarily made efforts for the benefit of all even if that meant some personal sacrifices.

The relative failures of many Western countries is due to, I think, lack of preparation, lack of leadership, and misguided refusal by many to make the necessary and quite limited personal sacrifices on the false pretext that they are a threat to personal liberties.
I would totally agree with you, diggan. I understand it the same way.
Eating them is the only solution.
It is not so simple. We do not act in a world with perfect information to predict the supply and demand curve. There are only 65,000 H1B in a year of which 20,000 are prioritized for people with a masters degree in US. Given the economy of size of US and the kind of roles being filled by H1B, it is doubtful that they have any meaningful impact on wages. There are bad actors who take advantage of H1B to get people to work for lower pay, but that lower pay is not at minimum wages.

It has just become a talking point to take a few instances and beat a dead horse. The big stink from the Disney instance that employees were asked to train their replacement. It is a insensitive move by Disney and the contractors and they deserve to be called out. But if a job requires minimal skill and there are substitutes available, isn't it just what capitalism is all about?

I do not see the same talk about H2 (agricultural workers) coming in to work in US and people arguing that they are making the farm wages depressed. How about TN1? At the end of the day, it is the kind of job that defines the value and pay for the job, not the visa.

Just to note, outsourcing does play a big role in bringing a substitute product and hence making jobs redundant, but that is a different argument.

Edit - spelling mistake
I completely understand the position of the person you replied to. One video outlining it is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3XuFr7rw84 . Many people disagree with it but I think thats because they don't imagine being productive without auto-completion.

> If I were a boss of a company and saw one of my employees do this, I would seriously reconsider their employment. Purposely limiting yourself has no place in development.

If I was a boss of a company I would try to judge people based on some objective measure, rather than subjective opinions about how one should be doing things.
I think an employee would prefer to be rated on the quality and quantity of their output, not on whether they used autocomplete or not.
unfortunately, it doesn't exist. Otherwise, if it does, then there's a way to arbitrage the extra money savings into a service that you can pay for (in lieu of tax).

The fact that such a service doesn't exist for the pleb individual means that this can't be done.
Maybe it's a little too much to ask, but are why are you "not saying any of this is right or good".

Part of my brain wishes that law would actually mean justice but somehow, if I trust only what I know, I cleary cannot judge, as you do, if finance engineering is good or bad.

I'd like to know what prevents you to choose if it's good or right (as person who have worked inside the business)

How our behavior impacts projects?
But we do know that Einstein was actually good in physics, so the argument that "she was better in objective parts" seems rather questionable.

People fail exams all the time, for a variety of reasons. Every now and then here on HN there is a big discussion on how job interviews shouldn't have whiteboard coding sessions.

Maybe she was such a person who can't do live whiteboard coding. Oral exams are something like that. Then the system is perhaps bad, but it doesn't sexism was the cause.

Also usually oral exams involve more than one interviewer.

And I think it is fascinatingly manipulative to frame it as "all female are kicked", if there was only one female to begin with.

(Note: it is of course possible that sexism was the cause, but it can't be inferred from the information given. BBC sure wants to suggest it, though)
So if someone is a solid performer without using autocomplete... would you fire her?

As a boss you would be judging the performance of an employee against the group average -- coding tools be damned.

Right, but if the company didn't create the job, the income tax collected would be zero.

I'm not saying the income tax collected is purely coming from the company, but take Amazon for example - their economic activity creates jobs which pay salaries that are taxed.

Developers and operators in today’s digital world are facing an ever-increasing set of regulatory requirements, security challenges and privacy concerns. In addition to constant attacks on IT assets there is growing legal pressure to deliver and maintain regulatory guidelines in our networked world. Requirements such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR or SOC2 are becoming the pre-requisite of any operation in various industries.

Modern cloud native architectures and Kubernetes provide tools to address these demands, but the knowledge of these tools and methods are not widely understood. Today what is needed most is guidance on what exists and how best to use the right resources to meet the security and compliance requirements while still benefiting from the speed and agility Cloud Native environments offer.

In this video Johan Tordsson, CTO of Elastisys, provides provide a deep dive on security development tools and open source Kubernetes services available to meet these growing needs.
> Staying for years around an area that gets "only a month" of excessive PM2.5 particles and smoke is unwise and you will soon become someone with an existing respiratory condition.

So, does that mean 95% of internet users are facing even worse quality of service? or does it mean that given a very small number of participants so far, starlink is able to allocate more bandwidth to everyone?

I remember reading an analysis here on a previous posting about starlink that under load, it is going to have pretty limited throughput (on top of higher latency). I do not see how that will get solved.
Hydrogen allows energy to be stored and moved in bulk, in physical space, and at the point of final consumption it will not produce carbon emissions. These are desirable properties for a country that imports most of its energy from far away, and for a producer that's awash in energy but has limited options in exporting it out.

In the short term, this also greenwashes Japan's energy situation at a glance, by shifting more of the emissions to Australia away from Japan compared to simply shipping solid coal around. It also keeps Australia's fossil fuel extraction sector going. Critics of hydrogen are right to point out that some of the most vocal proponents of hydrogen are fossil fuel producers, and that an overwhelming majority of today's hydrogen is produced from fossil carbon fuels.

In the long term, those who built out hydrogen infrastructure will be at an advantage if hydrogen production from electricity ever becomes economical, for two reasons:

First, if electricity is abundant, electricity will consequently capture a larger share of total energy consumption, leaving only those uses where electricity is impractical (e.g. airplanes, hypermobile vehicles, off-the-grid storage, long-distance transfer, open flames). Hydrogen presents a useful answer to many of the applications where electricity won't work well.

Second, momentary surplus electricity should be consumed in an electricity storage mechanism from which a portion of the input can be recovered, but most other electricity storage mechanisms are stationary installations that can only time-shift, but not space-shift. Hydrogen storage can be used to time-shift like any other, or space-shift to move it out of the source grid entirely.
I'm not opposed to speculating about things. Just don't claim they are facts without providing any evidence.
On Automation Part 3: The machine takes care of it
But our leaders aren't incentivized to do it, because our leaders are incentivized only by the very corporations in question.

As in, the corporations, through lobbying, quite literally write the legislation, not the people we actually elect to office.

So uprooting corporate tax info transparency rules is something that will never come to pass until other existing systems are demolished, but how do you get the legislators to legislate against their own self-interest?
> You'll get almost all of the benefits and most of the drawbacks go away.

That's a bit overstatement. You can call .Net code from F#, just like you can call Java from Clojure or Python/Rust/C from OCaml.

It just would be foreign and unidiomatic (hello, null pointers, methods, OOP).

And you can call C/Python/Rust from OCaml, we made quite a lot of wrappers for Gstreamer and some Rust libs in OCaml and it was quite painless.

So it's a bit of simplification, you can call foreign code in OCaml, it's not that much harder than F# considering there are higher level FFIs for C, Rust and Python available. Author could just use these as well.

> My intuition is that if I personally came up with a cute "gotcha" like this where I wound up paying zero in taxes because of some loophole, I would go to prison. Why isn't the same standard applied to rich companies?

I know of one "gotcha" that works in my country at least: work for low / no wage but instead have loads of assets like stocks; dividend taxes are much lower than income taxes.

I could be wrong. I'm just reminded of people like the Google founders who humblebragged about only earning $1 / year in salary. They still became multi-billionaires off of stocks.

In my country, assets are taxed by a percentage of a percentage (they tax estimated return on investment, which is ridiculous if you only have a savings account that nowadays has either no interest or even negative interest). I think there should be an additional tax on any money or assets moving out of said investment account.

Because that's how rich people do it; they hardly pay any taxes because they have hardly any taxable income or assets. They put their house into a corporation or foundation, funnel any cash they need through various shell organizations and tax havens, etc.
Well, you can blame the US governments for it being needed in the first place. If you're an American company operating in another country, you get to pay taxes twice on the same money. In the country where you sold the product, and in the US due to their worldwide taxation.

This could work, but it would have to be reconciled with the existing basis step-up at death, which is a key part of our intergenerational personal tax system. If you only taxed people when there is a dividend or salary payment, a savvy CEO of a private company could follow the tax advice of "borrow, buy, die". Instead of taking a huge salary, the CEO would borrow money to pay for everything, using the shares of the company as collateral. Then when the CEO dies, the loans are repaid out of the estate. And the basis in the remaining shares is stepped up when passed to heirs.

So while you can get rid of corporate taxation, the tax treatment of natural persons at death means that folks could greatly reduce the amount of income realized during their lifetime.
I believe the core problem there is still making extreme decisions without proper evidence. This could happen if the government knows much less about you (e.g. just the info on your driver's license) or much more about you. That is, the problem in these specific examples is not the existence of the data, but rather the willingness to throw caution to the wind and operating on shaky foundations.
If you consider taxes to be a form of property confiscation, then all governments confiscate property, and therefore all governments are abusive. I don't think that's a very convincing argument against taxation.
It's not really a secret, the laws are public, the methods exactly aren't hidden as they must abide that and people in the profession understand liability mitigation.

The challenge here is education the public what assets, tax liability and general liability are for a corporation and what a corporation actually is (basically, almost, kinda a person.)

So it isn't shenanigans, it's the general public inability to learn a specific niche field and people whoa are knowledgeable, exploiting a legal loophole, on purpose whether or not the spirit/letter of the law was for that.
I think that line was intended as a sarcastic joke.

It also seems to combine the worst of both platforms: Apps.

Is there any OSDEV work that goes towards a more integrated, component-based architecture? As sad as it seems, Unix tools & pipes seems to be the most successful and enduring attempt in that direction. Systems doing that on a language basis seem mostly dead (Lisps, Smalltalks, Oberons), component architecture isn't doing much (OpenDoc as the prime example, CORBA/COM to a minor degree).

I don't think we'll be breaking much new ground when it just comes down to more efficient runtimes, packaging and ways to launch the same old ultra-tightly focused applications.

> [Fixed point arithmetic] has some niche uses but isn't commonly used

It is very common in the embedded world and in hardware. I routinely program a CPU which has no FPU, so any arithmetic will have to be done in fixed point.

It's perfectly possible to get work done with fixed point arith, it just requires a bit more thinking through so you don't run out of bits. Usually, I write unit tests where I compile my code for host architecture and compare the fixed point result to host's floating point. Then I can set a precise error margin for my XP approximation.
High prices also discourage some frivolous wasteful panic buying. People are going to miss out no matter what, but at least with price gouging, there's some sorting related to need, even if it's imperfect.
