> uniformity

In my experience, there is no uniformity. If you buy 10 machines in the same order with the same SKU, you may end up with 10 different combinations of components between them...
Maybe I should have phrased it in another way.

For you to get where I am coming from, for me Longhorn only failed due to the usual set of politics between DevDiv and WinDev that those of us on Windows know so well throughout the years.

Had they actually worked together and Longhorn, with .NET based stack would have happened, just like it did with Android and ChromeOS. When technical limitations exist, they can be sorted out when everyone rows into the same direction.

So after its failure, and reboot as Vista, the Windows team took many of the Longhorn ideas and redid them as COM libraries.

This decision started a trend (hence my started with Vista), where all major new APIs that were added to Windows since then, were COM based instead of classical Win32.

You can see this by following the C++ Hilo tutorial later released for Windows 7.

When Windows 8 came to be, they decided to double down on this direction and came up with WinRT, which if you read the Ext-VOS paper, looks quite similar. Ext-VOS being what was being designed as successor to VB/C++/J++ as COM evolution, before all the events that made .NET happen.

So you got the Windows team creating WinRT, they also had their own shot at what .NET should be, hence why it uses AOT based compilation with a compiler that only supports the MSIL sets that they cared about.

As we all know by now, due to several reasons this did not turn out as expected, still UWP (as COM evolution is now know) is still the way to go to all major APIs, even in the context of Project Reunion.

So we changed from Win32 + some relevant projects using COM, to Win32 mostly frozen in Windows XP API level + everything else is COM/UWP based.

This was my point about Vista being the turning point where this took place.

I might be wrong, but this is how I see the evolution of those events.

Reminds me of the old Comodore 64, BBC Micro and other computers that were designed for youth interaction... and I think it's a very nice successor in that vein.

This is a way better option for many and should have much broader support. Aside, could make a good 1080p chromiumos option for seniors as well.

asterisk note: The study only looked at 14 languages.

The French result is interesting. It was fine - not great, not terrible - on the readability score, and by far the worst on writability. (The 2nd worst, English, got 3x the writability score.) That, combined with the fact that this metric was based on how much trouble a neural net had goes a long way toward explaining why my phone can do text-to-speech in French just fine, but can't take dictation to save its life.

This doesn't happen on any other topic about any other country, and the other things going on are of keen interest to me.
> which is the only way you are going to get competition where ISPs have a monopoly

Would it not be possible to make it illegal to provide internet access and to own the infrastructure at the same time?

Where I'm from, there are two national phone networks, owned by the two biggest phone plan providers. They also rent out their network infrastructure to smaller companies, which effectively means they control the price of phone plans. As a result, phone plans are comparatively very expensive where I'm from. It seems like separating the infrastructure from the phone plan providing would make the market more competitive, leading to lower prices.
Let’s see.

We did the first experiment. I want to do this one too. We can’t just do one experiment and warn of other experiments.

If we get a bigger home grown tech sector, then experiment two
wins.

Let’s get those Java oracle enterprise bootcamps going, I think we have enough need right here in America to fill those jobs. Plenty of Classic Lit majors ready to switch up.

Oh, and for who pays the most taxes and contributes the most to the American economy, I just googled it, it turns out it’s Americans. So ya, let’s get them into these jobs.

We can import the finest Java people to teach the bootcamps if necessary.

It's a pain but we could switch to glass containers or wax-lined cardboard for a large portion of things that come in plastic containers almost overnight.

That's ignoring things as basic as: if I need a plastic shampoo bottle... let me refill it? Why am I throwing that away after one use? For that matter why is it plastic instead of stainless steel?
Yes. One hint for anyone who tries this:

The voltage is wrong. The same board is used for ECP5 and ECP5-5G, but the analog VDD is set for the ECP5-5G chip, which is too high for ECP5 non-5G. With too high analog VDD, the SERDES TX PLL does not lock at lower frequencies (and the TXPLL loss of lock indicator is set).

(Also this board has a 156.56 MHz oscillator, but you really need a 125 MHz clock for Ethernet. I just replaced the oscillator with a 125 MHz one, but other solutions are probably acceptable).

Even with this fix, and after you connect it to the network, the SERDES comma detect indication is sometimes stable after power up, and sometimes not. Resetting the SERDES does not help. The register interface to the SERDES allows you to repower the TXPLL. So right now, my RISC-V softcore repowers it every second until the first link up happens. After the first successful link-up, it's fine. This hack does not work on every board, unfortunately.

Yes, I've contacted Lattice support, no response from them in a long time. ECP5 is pretty dated at this point, so I'm wondering if any of the development team is left to support it.

I think you're still caught up in the lie about recycling. Part of that lie included indoctrinating people with the belief that landfills were bad. They're not. The US has unlimited space to create landfills and they can now be made so they don't leach chemicals into the water table or erode into the sea. The problem with plastic is it getting into the ocean. It gets into the ocean (from the US) because of failed attempts to recycle it. So put it in landfills where it's harmless.
Unit tests are not intrinsically easier to maintain. The lower level the test the more it reflects implementation rather than specification and hence the more changes it demands when refactoring.

The practical upshot of these types of tests is often that they catch very few actual bugs but nonetheless demand constant and expensive maintenance when code is changed.

That would just increase consumption. Plastic is really cheap to make relative to how expensive it is to recycle, energy wise.
> we've been burying our waste because it's too expensive to reclaim the plastic.

Good. That's literally the most correct thing that can possibly be done with this waste. It's _never_ going to be recycled, at least not with current technology, because it takes more energy to get usable plastic out the other side than does sourcing new plastic. It's simply not worth it.

Bury it.

You think we're going to run out of space? You think we can't handle preventing runoff into the ocean? These are solved problems - all we have to do is to admit to ourselves that we're going to be burying a ton of plastic waste, and then ensure that every single unrecyclable scrap of it actually does get buried. We need to export our best practices for waste management to help other countries bury their plastic, and sell some of our gargantuan amounts of land space to bury plastic for smaller countries that don't have the space. It simply is what it is.

We don't have to give up plastic in order to prevent it from going into the ocean. What we do have to do is to understand that plastic, as an artifact of an advanced civilization, rests on the fundamental requirement of having implemented of all the waste management infrastructure also. If you don't have that, you're not ready for plastic!

Yet, we've exported tons of it to the third world where waste management is simply not a thing - sewers aren't even a thing - and then we act surprised when they throw useless plastic into the river, until you end up with this:

https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=garbage+river

We do not see this in the first world! Nobody is doing that here, which is why I vehemently reject the guilt trip people want to put us on with regards to plastic. We have this amazing technological invention, the "garbageman", who with his truck is able to keep our civilization pretty damned clean. Remember to thank yours.

How do we export this incredible innovation to Africa, India, etc. so that their garbage rivers become livable homes for aquatic life once more? Seems to be a lot more difficult than it should be, but I am really lacking in any kind of understanding of why that would be.
This is a late reply, but there are a couple big differences. The courts could create a class action, or join multiple claims. Avoiding a class action, where the individual claims are too expensive to be worth pursuing, but as a whole the wrongdoing is significant is one of the biggest driving forces in mandatory arbitration. But these don't apply to the linked case.

Discovery is more limited with arbitration, third party discovery is very limited, usually use witness statements instead of depositions. Arbitration almost never forms precedent, and arbitrators are not bound by case law/precedent. Decisions made by an arbitrator can only be appealed under more limited circumstances than if made by a judge. This means it is less likely a decision will be made based on the existing law. A court can grant interim relief, generally an arbitrator can not. A court will sanction parties that act in bad faith, in practice an arbitrator will not. A court judgement/sanction/relief can be enforceable in a way that an arbitrators finding would not be. This adds up to in practice making a successful claim more difficult for a wronged consumer

Arbitration is generally cheaper, limited discovery is cheaper. Not being limited to the same evidentiary rules and to respecting precedent allows the arbitrator to make more equitable decisions, that conflict with the law. Arbitration is faster.
If anything, this change will reduce big tech wages because they don't have to compete against the bodyshops in the H1B lottery. The people the bodyshops were bringing in weren't going to get hired by the big tech companies anyway.

On the other hand, the H1Bs working at big tech with higher salaries are more likely to later start another company, which will increase demand for top tier engineers, but this effect will take longer to materialize.
> Which can most easily be accomplished by increasing taxes on the consumption you want reduced.

Or you could make monetary changes to prevent constant inflation. Hyper-consumerist culture with cheap disposable plastic garbage is largely caused by constant inflationary monetary pressure.
The difference is that Democrats keep succeeding in enacting strangling regulation, and Republicans keep failing to "kneecap" social programs.

What major social program has seen funding cut since the 1970s? The percentage of the economy that goes to means-tested welfare has almost doubled from 1970 to today: https://www.heritage.org/sites/default/files/inline-images/B.... The only blip was right after the 2008 recession, but spending has mostly recovered since that time.

Now, I support welfare spending. (I'd like it better if we focused more on cash transfers to the poor, though.) But the notion that any major social program has ever been "kneecapped" is a myth.
Yeah, I hate those assholes for that, that's why I don't tell the USPS anymore when I move.

Whenever I give my address to a business for shipping, DMV, voter registration, etc. I also tack on a code to my address so that if they leak it as-is, they'll have blood on their hands, and I can publicly shame them for it. But that hasn't yet seemed to successfully track down the source.
I don't fill that out anymore for exactly this reason.

Librem 5 has a number of features generally only found in high-end phones, such as USB 3, dual-role port, DisplayPort alt-mode, high resolution video out and a discrete audio DAC, but its CPU performance and its video processing capability are those of a low-spec phone from several years ago. For people who want to buy a phone that supports convergence or a specialized security/privacy phone, the price of the Librem 5 is very competitive with the other options on the market.

That is currently where I am as well.

Termux has been a wonderful way to get simple programming tasks done on the go because I can just plug in an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor and have a command line, text editors, compilers, etc.

I am concerned about how Android 10's limitations will impact Termux since I would hate to lose such a useful tool.

That doesn't exist and won't as long as corporations can spend unlimited amounts on politicians and said politicians have no term limits.
All of this would show up in an autopsy. Snake bites would leave visible puncture wounds. There are for all practical purposes no deadly spiders native to the US. Tissue necrosis from a brown recluse would be visible, and a black widow would leave neurotoxic signs that a decent autopsy would have found, as well as possibly the toxin itself. (Hardly anybody dies from those two spider bites, and those two are the only medically significant spiders in the US.)
It is expensive to wire rural areas up. That is why the [government is paying for it](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/att-g...). Why isn't this a utility again?

Comcast and Charter essentially have a [duopoly](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/07/comca...) over much of the United States. Where is the competition?

People seem to easily forget that every major corporation is evil by default. If it is profitable, it gets done. Laws and public image are the only thing holding them back.
I was thinking the same thing. According to Wikipedia, the county areas vary by three orders of magnitude, from San Bernardino County, California (51,947 km^2) to Kalawao County, Hawaii (31 km^2), so it seems it can be very misleading.

For example, North Carolina and California have similiar population densities (80 people/km^2 versus 95 people/km^2), but on the "muddy" map North Carolina looks almost unpopulated while California is very emphasised---I guess this is because North Carolina is divided into smaller counties.

I guess in the case of San Bernardino it's a giant grey rectangle, so that particular one doesn't shift the red-blue impression very much, but still... :)
