I consider myself a progressive and honestly I think you have a point. I think it comes from a good place (it's a reaction to a history of things simply being brushed off, ignored and not addressed), but it's ultimately not a good way of dealing things.

I think the happy medium is where people are held accountable for their actions (ideally apologising for them if they really have done something wrong, which often times they have even if the response to that is overly vitriolic), and then allowed the space to make amends and move on with their lives.
Having anything you care about being in a single failure domain is a bad idea.

- A single company is a bad idea.
- A single maintainer is a bad idea.
- Maintainers from a single country is a bad idea.

So yes, having all of your maintainers in one company is bad for long-term health.

Probably not, that project seems to have been started in 1999, based on the date from the pdf linked in the second sentence
>I feel like what I'm going for will be easier to understood by seeing it

Agreed, but I hope you realize this is pretty much why people are having such negative reactions to it in this thread. For something that is "easier to understood by seeing it", the biggest mortal sin is pushing it without having anything to actually show that people can see.
How does the recent Caviar merger with DoorDash factor into the assessment?
Technically the M1 can support 2 displays too, 1 @ 6k/60Hz and 1 @ 4k/60Hz. This is done eg. for the Mac mini. However, for the laptops, one of those is consumed by the built in screen.
Perhaps it was run on the developer transition kit.

> Hundreds of thousands of doctoral students investing huge amounts of time and money to chase a relatively tiny pool of prestigious teaching and research positions.

That's a pretty cynical take on academia. There are plenty of good reasons to go for a PhD that don't amount to prestige chasing and it isn't accurate to view PhD programs as a jobs training program to push you into academia similar to a coding bootcamp, but longer and more expensive.

The experience of learning research by generating new knowledge with the top experts in your field is intrinsically valuable even if you don't use it every day. The one high school teacher I had who had done her PhD was by far the best teacher at the whole school. Everyone benefits from having a more educated society. Plus, most PhDs are funded. That money doesn't get thrown on a fire. It is paid for by the student teaching undergrads (which is a huge profit driver for universities if you need a selfish reason to support PhDs) and then is turned around into research which benefits society. Most PhDs don't end up going back into academia either. In fact the profit from cheap teaching assistants in the form of PhD students is probably the biggest driver of getting more of them at the university level, not some sort of academic circle jerk. Universities just want money.
I know, right? What's with all these people, expecting their personal computers to respect their privacy? If you want cool features, just be quiet and let Apple send whatever data they want to their servers. It's fine!
The issue with cars and trucks is the ability to repair them (not necessarily by yourself - just in general), not interest in the technology, though.
Do people really see this happening? It's been one of those big promises for nearly a decade and we're really nowhere near closer to it.

You can run android apps on chrome(/chromium) and other than for novelty I don't know anyone who does so.
They're not always obvious! You need to compare the prices in the app to the restaurant's own takeout menu prices. My understanding is that the restaurants themselves add the markup to offset the fees that DoorDash charges them.
>I don't think Terms of Service get to override antitrust laws.

I suspect most people agree on this fwiw. But it'd only apply when antitrust laws are invoked successfully - the vast majority of companies and situations do not fall into that category, as viable alternatives exist. E.g. Amazon is most certainly not the only / impossibly-dominant storefront or CDN.
Exactly. If GNOME or GTK are killing it (although it isn't clear they are) it would be negligent of them not to share with the projects that they depend on.

Maybe we need to get better at advertising the status of projects. I hope that funding goals being advertised becomes mainstream.
Privacy/no-cookie sharing: Container Tabs + Multi Account Containers in Firefox is incredible. Yes, I realize those are extensions - but that kind of control or extensibility isn't even possible in Safari.

Which is actually the biggest reason I don't use Safari, it has no support for profiles or user-chosen cookie separation (multiple different accounts for GSuite, etc).

As for Chrome just getting patched with zero-days - fine, but remember that Safari doesn't have the concept or ability to do Site Isolation the way Chrome or FF do, Chrome uses the macOS sandbox the same way Safari does, and there have been plenty of Safari CVEs as well. Chrome is usually the last to fall at Pwn2Own; pointing out "oh they just patched a zero-day CVE" doesn't mean much, especially since Apple pushes Safari updates far less often than Chrome does, and will often leave desktop Safari unpatched for weeks after iOS has been fixed.
For writing, I have a 90° angled 27" 16:9 monitor at 1080x1920. It's absolutely unusable for programming since it barely fits 80 characters at a usable scale, but it's like having a giant page in front of me when using a word processor/text editor.
>Nice way to revise history to make the Holomdor just a result of lack of computational power not a genocidal atrocity.

The hunger at the time hit hard not only Ukraine, but also inner Russia (Volga region) and Belarus. It has even affected Poland. The "genocidal atrocity" is so blatantly mythologized and lies upon lies are layered down in an attempt to form a nation-forming myth together glorification of Nazi collaborationist, which have killed a lot of Jews, Poles and even Ukranians.

There was no evil order to eliminate Ukrainians issued by the Soviet government, it was a tragic chain of events. It started from purely natural reasons and got multiplied by deficiencies of the system. People on the ground played a crucial role here as well, by passing wrong information about situation on the ground.
This thread all started as a result of talking about weight loss, not health. Also, you're ignoring all of the health improvements weight loss brings even without any other change in behavior (diet, exercise, sleep).
Step 6 and 7 are absolutely crucial. People not accepting blame (even privately to themselves) and never changing is even worse than people aggressively and publicly demanding apologies for wrongdoing.
I didn't realize that groupon still exists.
>Something I learned that helped is: you can hurt someone without being wrong

>It often doesn't matter how legitimate someones' complaint is according to my personal worldview; what matters is how the affected feel.

I can't get behind this. Why am I responsible for the way the chemicals in someone's brain react if I say something that unintentionally hurts them? If i'm doing nothing wrong as you say and someone else is offended, or sad or hurt, that's honestly their problem.

People need to take responsibility for their feelings instead of making everyone else take responsibility for their feelings.

Why should I ever be responsible for the way someone feels unless i've done something intentionally to make them feel that way?

People's feelings are their own business, nobody else has the unintentional responsibility of random people's arbitrary feelings.

They include the NSL breakdown and point to the relevant reporting restrictions they’re working under (6 month delays and having to report most numbers in brackets of 500).
Point taken. I am used to being around folks that know my deal, and am sometimes too casual in my interactions.

I suspect that we'd probably get along, IRL. I got a gander at your site, and it seems that we have a hardware interaction background.

I'm deliberately trying to reduce my scope. I worked for many years in a fairly major-league Japanese corporation, as part of a big, distributed team. The company was a hardware company, so a lot of our software was designed to either play with, or be embedded in, hardware.

Nowadays, I like to try keeping it to apps for Apple devices. My apps tend to be a fair bit more ambitious than you'd normally see from a one-man shop, but they are still fairly humble, compared to what our teams worked on.

However, I feel that the quality of what I do is better than before; mostly because of my craftsman approach. If you knew the company I worked for, you'd find that ironic.

I believe that's true of all the achievements -- I'd guess that's why they're "achievements" (although I believe some games include normal game milestones as achievements just for the dopamine hit)

The problem seems to be the lack of maintainers. Assuming that the forker has enough trust why not just start maintaining the original project?

Forking isn't necessarily bad, but it is often better to keep the "official" status of the upstream project unless it is necessary to drop it.
You're absolutely right about not knowing being a problem; unfortunately I'm guessing it's a bit of an art, at least with respect to the "be careful of bad-faith actors" replies you've received, or at least a heavy dose of knowing the other party.

I do however find that if I actually take time to think about what's happened, a genuine wrong that might have been caused in a rush/unthought out moment is (usually) pretty obvious when looked back on in hindsight; there's usually an "aaah shit yeah that'd piss me off too" moment.

What people are criticising is the manner of rule-enforcement. The IPO got to a late stage of the process before being personally halted by Xi. Rules being unevenly applied and being dependent on the whims of the powerful is what is harmful.
I often laugh at Enterprisey world about how complicated it become.

The problem is that, i only need one table to really deliver REAL value to my customer, instead of huge giant monothlic with complicated business logic !

Why ?

I don't know. You might don't need "general" or "framework" to deliver real value to your customer.

What i (or many) needs is a "framework of design", not code on how to deliver value to customer.

And there you go. When you tell others their thoughts are wrong you yourself become authoritarian.
There is nothing wrong with teaching Python as an introduction to programming methods and data, then diving deeper. My son started with Python in his Junior year of high school and as a senior is now learning Java.

It is just top down learning, instead of bottom up. For programming, I think either works.

I just happened to learn the other direction because of the year (early 1980s). On CP/M, you had a macro assembler right there, and it took me a while to get my hands on a Basic interpreter.
Just because a company managed to do stuff a certain way that does not mean that way is the right way or adequate or good.

I share your frustration, but no one in this chain above rewrote history.

Everyone agrees that the US response to covid was abjectly terrible. The response should have been to suddenly and dramatically develop a capacity for producing masks. It’s true that in the early days we weren’t sure if it was transmission through air or contaminated surfaces that was more problematic, but we can already wash our hands. We can’t stop breathing.

Instead, the US president spent months attacking anyone who said covid is a problem, the CDC screwed up testing, and health authorities backpedaled on masks while giving conspiracy theory-level justifications.

I was there too. The really sad part is that now we know how to get this under control (and a few countries that really tried everything, like those listed by GP, got it right at the outset), but the politics have become so fraught that I doubt we’ll this under control in the US before it’s spread to everyone.
> There's also no real reason why you can't have prices in socialism

There is: you can't estimate how much people will want something new.

Imagine the new macbook air with Apple Silicon.

What should the price be, in a socialist system?

Set it too low and there will be shortage because you will not be able to produce enough as you wont get profits that would allow you to build extra factories and by extra components.

Set it too high and there will be surpluses rotting in factories because nobody will want it.

You need to guess right in advance. In a capitalist system, companies hold the responsibility: if they are wrong too often, they go bankrupt.

In a socialist system, the responsibility is diluted, resulting in a cumulative overall inefficiency, with both shortage (ex: food in the USSR) and surpluses (ex: cotton in the USSR again).

I used "new things" to simplify the reasoning, but the same logic apply to existing things: do you want more or less say phones compared to last year?

You can't say "just as much", because the optimal amount will be impacted by a lot of things that change every year.
The "progressives" you're referring to aren't progressive. They're reactionary authoritarians, hijacking the ideals and preferences of whatever group they're attached to. You can find them in all forms of debased public discourse and lowbrow populism, with a history going back millennia, and uniformly distributed across the political spectrum. No-one called the Spanish Inquisition progressive.

I hold a very special loathing of anyone that weaponizes process in order to control others.

>> By having a notion of some god, and a cannon, you can have a list of ideas that everyone considers good, and it makes such demagoguery a little more difficult.

I'm an agnostic whose beliefs wrt good and evil correspond much more closely to those of many of my Catholic or Jewish neighbors than those of my extended family who are Baptists or Evangelicals or whatever the hell it is they're doing.

I doubt this is unusual at all.
Playing around with the numbers a bit, I think it's pretty seriously wrong.

A 6-month old dog is still a child, in dog terms. This formula says they're nearly 20 years old; I'd be inclined to say that the "right" answer is more like 15 years, if not less.

A 1-year old dog is beyond adolescence but is still maturing, but this formula says they're 31 years old, well into adulthood.

A 5-year old dog is in the prime of their life; this formula says they're 56 years old, well into the range of what we'd consider a senior.

A 30-year old dog would set a new world record. (The oldest dog known was about 29.5 years old.) This formula maps that to 85 years, which is old, but not extraordinarily so.
> Why would you tip before hand? Doesn't this defeat the purpose of a tip?

It's a great question, and there's no simple answer that will satisfy anyone. Suffice it to say that I have my own interpretation. Take it for what you will:

1. DD (and other gig economy) apps, have redefined the concept of a tip to subsidize the low wages paid to gig workers.

2. When gig economy workers see the tip in advance of their gig, it acts as an incentive to complete the task. For example, the higher the tip, the farther a DD driver will go, the more items they will deliver, and the better service they (should) provide.

3. In this particular case, the DD customer can still rate the driver after the delivery is complete. If their rating drops below a certain level, or if they receive a contract violation three times in 100 orders, they will face deactivation from the platform.

4. Currently, Lyft and Uber both delay tips to drivers depending on different circumstances. Tips could be delayed anywhere from minutes to hours to days, and this tends to de-incentivize drivers and could lead to diminished quality of service. DD, on the other hand, has found a strategy that both incentivizes drivers and promotes increased customer and driver satisfaction.
Suggestion for gas pumps:

I carry rolls of dog poop cleanup bags. They make great temporary gloves that you can slip over your hand before touching the gas pump, and they slide off into the trash easily without touching the outside with the other hand.

Keep in mind that Clorox wipes still take 30 seconds to kill the virus (according to the manufacturer page). Most people don't tend to wait after disinfecting a surface before touching it, meaning the cleaning agent may become more diluted and less effective.

Better yet, disinfect and wear a baggie-glove while pumping. I don't disinfect the pump when wearing a plastic bag glove myself, but I do use hand sanitizer as soon as I'm done.

The thing that really bugs me though is the marketing teams that started using the terms "4K".

Displays used to be 480p, 720p, 1080p, and then ... 4K?

The 4K was clearly intended to fool people into thinking that it was 4Kp or 4000p.

But get a load of this... 4K is 2160p. It should have been called 2Kp to be a fair comparison with the then-state-of-the-art 1080p.

The marketing departments quietly went from measuring the vertical to measuring the horizontal to fool a bunch of unsuspecting consumers.
Maybe I'm missing something as my history isn't excellent. Didn't Stalin rule until his death? So in the context of this thread, yes, that strategy worked out exactly as Stalin wanted it to?
Actually the driver does set the price. They get to set whatever multiplier they desire and can effectively set the price to whatever they believe is fair.
We're talking about financial reporting right now so the statement in your comment is pretty misleading.
You're right, but the EU is not that different from the US. In general terms we could say we're playing by the same rules.

And there are no special rules for Europeans and other for foreigners. If you try to run a business in, lets say, Germany. You have the same rules and the same obligations as any other German. That doesn't happen in China.

No. Again this is wrong.

If you sell something for $100 and give a future voucher for $80, you recognize $20 in revenue for this quarter and $80 liability on your balance sheet. In the next quarter when that voucher is used on another $100 purchase, you can claim $100 revenue this quarter and remove the $80 liability. But you already took the $80 hit to revenue from the voucher on the previous quarter.

If you sell something for $100 and immediately give a $80 refund then you only take a $20 revenue.

People think the SEC and accountants are dumb or blind but they aren’t. They have seen all of these tricks before and act very quickly if they see new ways to mislead.
