Think of it in terms of thermodynamics. The first group requires extra energy relative to the second group to perform roles of leadership, since those are secondary goals. The second group is instead naturally drawn to the roles of direction of the group. Thus, the lowest energy state will be one where the second group is in charge. Over time, things will gravitate to that state as it is the global minimum.

I guess it depends on the bottom line for the company. Who their customers are.

Nike shoes is an interesting recent example. They embraced the controversial NFL player Colin Kaepernick in various advertising campaigns, playing in his bravery for kneeling during the National Anthem of the United States. However this was not some sort of altruistic, egalitarian business campaign. It was a cold calculation from their data which said young people buy their products and young people are sympathetic to his cause and therefore we will sell more shoes going with this endorsement. It helped make Nike, a company with a very spotty humanitarian history and questions of exploitive labor practices, a corporation their audience of largely young progressive people felt identified with them.

Advertising is about as cynical as it gets. For some companies it will make sense to “choose a side” which when thinking about it is as absurd and ridiculous as something could be. What would Adam Smith make of this?
These solutions always look slick, but in my experience, they work seamlessly only either in very modern apartments or apartments that have been re-built around such features in mind. I have yet to see a mass-viable product like this.

Time on public TV is kind-of regulated.
TV ads are not really a thing, mostly billboards and print.

Can be circumvented though, since it requires parties to declare spendings correctly (and labelled correctly). "Oh, those fancy pens that look like merch? For work if course!" "We didn't rent this venue, a party-friend did"

Difficult to enforce with all the possible loopholes.
There are two kinds of authors of free software: Those who wrote something for themselves and are willing to let the public have the code (but no more than that; and those that want to want their software to be used by the public.

What the author is describing is users confusing the former for the latter.

I believe we should all be the latter rather than the former. But even if we aren't - the onus is upon us to make this clear to the users. It is perfectly reasonable for a user to assume developers will accept bug reports (which is not the same as assuming the bugs will get fixed promptly).

Also, as a FOSS developer - I believe the author is underestimating the significance of accepting bug reports from the public. This has saved me some embarrassment in the past and even got me some collaborators which I would otherwise not have had.

I might be out of touch but isn't it fairly established at this point that - for certain definitions of "collusion" - it was factually true?

The skill sets most needed for vertical farms probably have nothing to do with agriculture. If that is your goal then you should research or design fusion reactors instead.
This isn’t true. To take the US tax system as an example it’s much more progressive than the flat tax starter you’re describing, where all income is taxed at the same rate. This does not stop inequality.

> In 2016, the bottom 50 percent of taxpayers—those with adjusted gross incomes (AGI) below $40,078—earned 11.6 percent of total AGI. However, this group of taxpayers paid just 3 percent of all income taxes in 2016.

> In contrast, the top 1 percent of all taxpayers (taxpayers with AGI of $480,804 and above), earned 19.7 percent of all AGI in 2016, and paid 37.3 percent of all federal income taxes. The top 1 percent of taxpayers accounted for more income taxes paid than the bottom 90 percent combined, who paid 30.5 percent of all income taxes.

Have you thought about advertising $$$$$ for features?

I suspect that's not something you have time for (nor do I) but I just brought it up because I have a friend that runs a semi-successful open source project and has managed to find companies willing to pay for support and new features to the point that he's fulltime on his project and has told me he was planning to hire one more person (I didn't follow up to see if he hired someone)

On the converse, I hate the new culture of put up an open source project and ask for money, especially when that project is often very small and/or really just an assembly of 2-4 other open source projects.

This seems especially common in npm/node projects now-a-days. Every repo I look at has a donate button for even the smallest of things.
Sorry should have been more clear; I'm an eletronics engineer so I know what crosstalk is, it's just that I didn't understand how this would be an actual problem with CAT5. Phone line, that's something else though.

If an electrician had done it, it likely would have been 10 or 20x more.

Hmm, that is like twice the amount one would typcially pay here. Still, don't froget the working hours you put in there :) plus the fact that usually technicians get their materials for cheaper than you do (also because in my case it's only 6% VAT instead of 21%). I did many such calculations when renovating and for some things it was actually cheaper to get a technician.

This was a good read as was the HP OSCP incident you linked to in the post. With regards to HP cert being revoked I'm amazed that this didn't get more attention. You would think there would be checks in place to calculate something like "well there's been 100 million OSCP checks for this printer driver in the last 24 hours so we might not want to revoke its cert."
Never been better, personally.

I'm used to travelling a lot, I've been doing it since I was a wee baby thanks to my very international family, so it's been a very strange thing to be constrained to a single country for so long. Ignoring that though, I've been doing quite well. I was always a freelancer, so my job didn't really suffer much, I'm pretty much working exactly as much as I used to. My friend circle is all similarly international people, and we've grown accustomed to not seeing each other for months, sometimes years at a time so this is just another one of those periods for most of us. Since getting out of the house is a bit of a hassle, I mostly just do yard work now, it's very calming. Not much has changed, other than the inability of flying whenever I pleased like before, but I'm hopeful that those travel restrictions will loosen relatively soon, and once that happens I'm pretty much back where I started, which is a good place.
Ignoring is one tool. Another one I have to (sometimes/more often than I'd like) resort to (especially at work) is a simple "No".

The "No" is especially fun to use with people have the wrong impression that if you know how/can to do something you actually have to do it for them whenever they request it.

That being said:

For FOSS stuff: I do want to know if anyone finds any bugs and how to reproduce them. Doesn't mean I'll fix them though. It only means that If I think I'll end up in a scenario where that applies (or I'm bored one day) I will fix it.
Because at this point, there is a sharp divide between conservatives who care about fiscal responsibility and family values, and "conservatives" who care about unmasking (((conspirators))) in pizza restaurants. Although to be fair, the platform will likely attract nothing but the latter.
The author suggests that the primary reason people don't want to start a startup in a bad economy is that no one will invest in them or that there wont be any customers, I think more consideration should be put into the fact that it's usually just that they simply cannot start a startup, not that they are iffy about it

I could be misinterpreting them, though
It sounds like you answered your own question - people avoid doing businesses when they're not sure their products will sell, when it's harder to get loans and capital. And they link this to a bad economy.

But the idea behind the article is that these are mostly untrue - it's easier to hire talent and other resources during a bad economy.
If you don't like the stuff they post, don't follow them. This includes things that you don't think they should post - you know, the "off-topic" stuff.

This reminds me of that Wait but Why post [0] about picking your life partner. TL;DR: it is better to have no one than to be around people that you're not happy with.

The upside is that now you have the chance to pick whatever floats your boat without carrying the baggage around.

I believe you can turn off garbage collection in python and manage it yourself? How much of a speed up would that give you?
No, because you'd rely on the fact that the time critical execution paths in your python application happens to be in C. This is clearly not true in general and therefore pydis just demonstrates a special case.

Exactly. My parents gave me $10K towards my first house down payment and I plan to do similarly for my kids. I’m nowhere near on track to need to talk to a estate trust advisor, but I’m planning to have saved up more than 25x my annual income requirement in retirement; as a result, I’m very likely to die with a positive balance in my accounts.

Don’t worry too much: My kids will 100% have to work if they don’t want a sucky life.
That's not how it's framed though. It mentions nowhere that most of the work is actually done in C and he literally states that "The aim of this exercise is to prove that interpreted languages can be just as fast as C" which is just incredibly misleading.

Or look at the start of the readme, he claims that he wants to disprove "some of the falsehoods about performance and optimisation regarding software and interpreted languages in particular". What falsehood exactly? To me it seems he intended it to be "interpreted languages are slow", but he doesn't disprove that at all.
Maybe if author will try to write README in a less arrogant tone then performance will be even better, who knows.

That also means that there is less cash around to go to (incredibly expensive) takeout compared to cooking rice & beans at home (where people are now for much longer, without a commute).
"competitive"

Right, so let me get this straight, the argument is:

You can implement an arbitrary system in python and it is 'fast enough' to be usable and 'better' in terms of 1) speed to develop, 2) lower complexity (ie. lower LoC, easier to maintain) and 3) the garbage collection doesn't matter?

I strongly disagree.

I've worked in python for a long time, and it's a great glue language... but, it's not suitable for implementing high performance systems. Flat out.

Not. Suitable.

If the system you're developing is a mild variant on 1) something that already exists and 2) is implemented in a lower level language, then yes, python is a reasonable glue language to link together native modules.

That's why many of the machine learning frameworks use python; because it's great at allowing you to express 'high level concepts' using low level primitives.

However.

It is not suitable for implementing low level primitives; because its too slow and single threaded.

So... you might argue that this redis implementation uses enough pre-existing code that someone else has written that it is reasonably performant, but... once you go beyond the 'trivial' implementation that uses someone else code, you'll find it's really not suitable for this kind of use-case.

I love python; but this is... it's just wishful thinking.

Just because you like python, does not make python suitable for every workload.
> "Not making a political statement with that"

Negating something also 'somewhat' implies the opposite (the not negated version). Also you add a smiley ":)" in the paragraph before, which drops a very clear hint.

I am happy for you that politics fixed your depression.
I'm getting a lot of value out of Mastodon. I found a medium sized instance who's moderator I trust, and whose culture matches matches what I want out of a social media website. Not having posts algorithmically shoved into your face helps a lot, because it is clear where posts on you home timeline are coming from and thus easier to customise your experience by blocking people.

The main problem with mastodon is that it's hard to discover a good instance to create your account on because you only get a good feel for the instances after you spend some time on there. This isnt all negative because the somewhat higher barrier of entry makes for a better userbase I think, because you need to do a bit of research.

I Honestly think that having a public square where people of all ideologies discuss everything is not that great. I don't want to discuss the US election with trump supporters, or read antisemetic garbage on my feed, I just want to shoot the shit with friendly likeminded people. I've been hanging around mastodon for 2 years now and I can count the times that it has made me mad or annoyed with another user on one hand. The ratio of positive experience to negative experience is way better than twitter.

For me mastodon is a place to talk about interesting tech, look at people's art, crafting obscure jokes that are only funny for an extremely online audience, and hanging out with a diverse group of techies, gamers, leftists, artists, philosophers, scientists, LGTB+ folks, solar punks.
Yes, that comes from an essay written in 1955 by Parkinson:

http://doc.cat-v.org/economics/parkinsons-law/the-economist-...

What we have to note is that the 2,000 Admiralty officials of 1914 had become the 3,569 of 1928; and that this growth was unrelated to any possible increase in their work. The Navy during that period had diminished, in point of fact, by a third in men and two-thirds in ships. Nor, from 1922 onwards, was its strength even expected to increase, for its total of ships (unlike its total of officials) was limited by the Washington Naval Agreement of that year.
Out of sight out of mind I guess... but meanwhile they're out there trying to shame you in front of your peers.
This is essentially some Python glue for C code.

It uses a C Redis client parser (hiredis), uvloop (Python wrapper for libuv) and the Python hashmap implementation.

All the performance critical code is implemented in C.

I appreciate the point that higher level languages can be more than fast enough for many use cases. A tremendous amount of software is written in Python, PHP, Ruby et al after all.

But this is not a good way to make that argument, since it almost refutes it's own point: if performance matters, you apparently implement it in C/C++/Rust.
Huh? I'm talking about the claims it's all "Russian disinformation" were not censored on Twitter.

That's despite intelligence agencies saying that "there is no evidence it's Russian disinformation".
I seriously the generalizability of your claim. I used to think the same way, until I saw articles like this about Florence (Italy): https://qz.com/694340/the-richest-families-in-florence-in-14...
I was close to burnout early this year when I decided to quit the job market altogether (I was a programmer). I decided to start doing something else instead (teaching people how to program). I'm still doing programming, but only as a hobby, or on projects I pick. My stress levels dropped significantly, and I work much less for only a 20% decrease in pay.

That being said this COVID situation is starting to take a toll. I'm only meeting with friends in open spaces and with 1.5 meters between us. No lan parties, and stuff like that. I really hope that next year we'll get a vaccine and we can return to a more normal lifestyle because I'm starting to feel like a pit bull with half of its mouth sewn shut.

Others have already given possible reasons, another might be that they don't want to accept certain jobs or opportunities and are overly selective. They may not want to work yet but are adding any offers to the pile to negotiate better later.

I know a similar person who is good with designing distributed systems and programming in general. They had a offer from facebook but declined. They want to get a good paying cybersec job but alas there aren't any at good companies. Currently working on gigs and being broke.
On Twitter I also mainly lurk. I've found it to be the best place to get the detailed news I want (for example, Wasserman or Cohn for election result), but know to avoid comments unless I'm looking for pure entertainment.

But, I have all Twitter alerts turned off, and only check every few days. I rarely look at my own Twitter timeline and instead go directly to people's timeline who I have found will have the news I'm interested in.
It's comments like this that will lead to folks not building for Firefox, therefore no one wanting to use it because there are things not built for it
Covid-19: Normal life back next winter, says vaccine creator
This probably started with those memes by illustrators and/or graphic designers who complain about "clients" who only pay with "exposure".
Hm.. perhaps in the faceless namespace that is the Internet, but much of that interaction hasn't yet percolated into every day life of the vast majority of individuals. Any person not participating in these exchanges and these networks might not even recognize that these heated interactions are happening.

Another part of the complication (fortunately) is that there is also no "real life" external markers that separate us on these issues. You may know where people stand on the Internet about issues, but step outside and it's a sea of ambiguity with every individual you meet. And at that point, people just go about their day treating everyone with respect. (At least in the same amount they have been the last 60 years, which in some cases is not much respect)
