Unix was far too large and unwieldy for microcomputer hardware of the time

No. Xenix ran on an 8086. Unisoft built a whole business around porting Unix to 68000s (not 68020s in the beginning, not even always 68010s...68000s). There were many others.

It matters a lot, because the use cases you've seen aren't the only ones that exist. In a tool so widespread as git, that is really not surprising.

By removing it's decentralised nature you've fundamentally built a different VCS. Perhaps SVN is acceptable for your use case, that's great! It's definitely not git though - basic expected use cases were lost as predicted at the start of this thread.
Having friends who have suffered pile-ons and targeted harassment on Twitter, this seems specially crafted to enable that kind of bad behavior.

Even if you flag a "fleet" for violating the rules, it will have vanished by the time it gets reviewed. "Oh, it's gone, so it's OK."
I want to know what I'll be doing, the sort of problems I'll been working on, etc.

What I absolutely cannot stand is job descriptions that are just a complete drab HR keyword dump listing every technology you might potentially see tangentially related to your day to day work. I can't stand see overly vague descriptions of what I'll be working either.

I mentally filter out companies that are obviously spam agencies that all seem repost from the same pool of jobs. Unfortunately job boards seem littered with that crap.

I'll try to scour the internet to get a little bit of info the things you mentioned, Glassboro seems fine for that, and if thr company is well known enough, I'll try things like reddit.
The article is about GitHub writing a new porcelain in Go that matches GitHub's semantics better. And I think that's the key point: the main git porcelain was hacked together by the Linux kernel team to match their workflow.

Now, I have strong disagreements with GitHub's semantics. I want code reviews to be per commit, not per branch, and I want an easy way to stack up a bunch of commits, make changes each of them as I get review feedback, and then merge a whole range at the bottom of the stack as I they are accepted.

Right now I do this by living in git rebase -i, putting a little tag in each commit message to name what remote branch it should be pushed to, adding an exec command in my rebase -i that extracts that branch and does the push, and then working with wiring together all these remote PRs on all these remote branches.
UK Government to invest £4bn to create 250k new green jobs
The mindset of people like him is to mindlessly elect politicians into office as long as the mass media (a.k.a. modern propaganda owned by a few individuals) tells them to.

Who cares if the politician is historically a scumbag who has voted for/against things that he currently claims to care about...as long as the media and the liberal mob says so, he's our guy! Forget critical thinking and making decisions for ourselves, who needs that when the media can decide for us!

> C won the competition because it just gives programmers the bare minimum functionality to put an operating system and a compiler in place!

Not really. C won because it was the standard compiler for Unix, and was a free compiler for a free operating system in a time when both were highly unusual.

But in the past few decades, C has lost a lot of its market share to other programming languages. In the realm of desktop (and mobile) applications, C is basically unused for new projects--its standard library is truly anemic here, and major support libraries (e.g., GUI toolkits) are often in C++ and not C. Where C is still the dominant language is the land of embedded applications, and it's not had a lot of competition here since most languages don't bother trying to define a freestanding implementation.

Rust is really the first language to try to contend this space. And there are signs that it may supplant C: Intel is apparently looking to move its firmware to Rust; Linux is allowing Rust for device drivers and kernel modules. Hell, even some OS programming courses (e.g., Stanford, Georgia Tech) have moved their curriculum to use Rust instead of C.

Yup, this was my main reason for choosing the Air over the Pro. The touch bar is so unfortunate -- Apple could probably do something interesting with it, but ultimately they've basically left it untouched since they released it.

I suspect the only reason for its continued existence is to look cool in marketing photos.

This is how podcasts work today at least, the ads are targeted towards interests based on the audience of the podcaster.

I don’t know how effective this is though.
Passive voice can be used to omit the doer of the action, which is preferable when the action itself is the focus. The choice between active and passive voice should be based on this choice of focus.
You can’t say categorically that the active voice is better than passive, classical rule of thumb notwithstanding.

Tax carbon, and 1% of people will cause 55% of global aviation emissions. Why? Because those who can afford frequent airlines tickets can afford the tax as well. It won't change their behavior much. The family that can barely scrape together the money to fly to Disneyland? They're the ones whose behavior you'll change.

This saves you the task of deciding who's deserving, but it produces outcomes that sure feel unfair...

I accept your point re Germany. It's not materially worse there right now.

But back to the original argument. How are the UK, France, Poland and Italy doing? Those are big European countries.

UK: 213 deaths
France: 506 deaths
Poland: 357 deaths
Italy: 731 deaths

231 million people, 1807 deaths, more than 2x as bad as the USA. And that's before adding Switzerland, Czechia, and other countries where things are worse.

It's also irrelevant that Czechia did well in the first wave. This is about who is doing worse right now as measured by actual humans dying. The reasons don't matter.
Boox Note Air is similar price and you can comfortably read PDFs on it. Onyx's PDF reader is very good.

We've also eliminated a ton of crappy UI conventions and settled on some common paradigms in all platforms. I remember the four-layer-deep right-click context menus and I kinda shudder now.

There were also some really good ideas that I wish had caught on (I was a huge fan of focus-follows-mouse and I still use the X select-into-clipboard), but the general uniformity of UI patters nowadays is very much calming.
It's accessibility in the sense that computer input methods popular in the West can't generate them. As far as I know, there's no way to get my computer or phone keyboards to produce 水 without switching to one of the CJK input modes.

It may be because I’m not a native English speaker, but the highlighted sentence is pretty hard to read. I lose track of the words around half way. After “get lost” I want the sentence to stop. My brain split the sentence right there, meaning the remaing part has no context, it’s just words the fail to belong.

It’s not that I’m a poor reader. I do real slower in English, but I can easily read something like The Economist.
Ahah! Reminds me of what we're building at Koyeb. (https://www.koyeb.com/blog/the-koyeb-serverless-engine-docke...)

Quite possible. But you need an EU entity for that and it's likely why Eclipse Foundation (Eclipse Foundation != Eclipse IDE for those who are not aware but rather a competitor to Apache and Linux foundations) has moved to Europe: https://newsroom.eclipse.org/news/announcements/open-source-...
Any ideas why Z3 has so many more issues than CVC4?

Maybe because CVC4 has better practices around fuzzing? https://github.com/CVC4/CVC4/wiki/Fuzzing-CVC4 Not sure.

For the most part: Choose a male mate that has qualities which signal or are correlated with their likelihood to stick around afterwards and be a good parent. That would increase the likelihood of them staying (barring unexpected external factors to the dynamic). You can't just "magically" make people want something they don't want to, nor can you force them (you can see that with things like child-support payments).
The problem is that for every Lincoln you have hundreds of thousands of people who will never put together a sentence of that caliber, myself included.

I don't worry about great writers using this app and becoming more machine like. But everyday I come across documentation or emails that would benefit from this app.
> Lest "different people have different roles" is a confusing factor, let's eliminate the uncertainty. Say I have a team with many responsibilities (including non-technical ones), and it is every developer's responsibility to do these. You will likely never find a 10x employee there.

Yes, if you're team is so poorly managed that has neither top-down not bottom-up organization for efficient task distrobution but instead features mechanistic, blind task distribution, you'll both decrease output even of a team of whatever overall competence and minimize the performance differences on the team that aren't do to absolute superiority on every type of task. Which is why, whether it's agile self-organizing teams or other bottom-up approaches on one side or any kind of top-down management theory on the other, every approach to managing work is about.

> To be clear, I don't doubt that a person is 10x better than the average in doing X, but I've found that X is always a very narrow scope

I find 10× in a narrow scope to be very rare, though it probably happens somewhere. Something more like 3× in a narrow scope of focus personal tasks (e.g., the more complex design and coding tasks) and providing a 2× multiplier on the rest of the team by helping choose efficient direction of focus, identifying problems proactively early, and otherwise keeping the team from wasted/misdirected work that otherwise would get done is both more common than 10× in a narrow field and a bigger productivity win.
Is only English supported at this stage? There is no mention about other languages in the FAQ or checkout page so I'd assume so.
To set the perspective for those not familiar, the population of the state is close to 900k, roughly the same as the city of San Francisco. The normal pace of all-cause deaths is about 24 per day, so with COVID-19 killing off 15 people per day it is probably the leading cause of death in that state today.
> Even burning synfuel made from renewables won't be enough, because adding emissions higher in the atmosphere has a stronger warming effect.

It has a temporary strong effect, that falls back into the normal one in a couple of decades. What means that synfuel based aviation would have a constant impact on the global temperature, like painting your ceiling black. We can live quite well with that.
> we should expect 1% of people (or some equally small fraction of the population) do 50% of most things.

I wouldn't expect 1% of people to produce half of auto emissions. I wouldn't expect 1% of people to consume half of the electricity.
I found the author's apparent belief that Git and Github are the same thing extremely annoying.

Github is a parasite.
There have been many many blog posts about Git's terrible CLI. It's an established fact.
Some more details from Tom's Hardware Guide: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/microsoft-pluton-processor...

In particular, Microsoft says that the the idea of Pluton was pioneered in the AMD-Microsoft co-designed chip for the Xbox One. Tom's Hardware also compares it to the AMD Platform Security Processor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Platform_Security_Processo... ), which is AMD's CPU-embedded answer to Intel's chipset-embedded Management Engine.

Both PSP and ME have had several reported security vulnerabilities. I wouldn't be surprised if on AMD CPUs, Pluton is implemented as basically just reflashing PSP's firmware. As Microsoft is much more experienced at secure software than the AMDs and Intels of the world, I have a bit more hope about Pluton not introducing an accidental back door into my machine!
Ironically I spent over a decade in teaching (and about 5 years in a school with lots of pupils with SEND requirements), and then when I met my girlfriend and her 4 kids (who I've now been step-parent of for 10+ years), I was told how patient I was - teaching taught me it first, which was handy as I wasn't patient before... but it's definitely needed with kids.
The apparatus you’re thinking of is called a dilution refrigerator.

The “tiny pipes” are actually coaxial signal cables carrying RF and DC control signals. These terminate at a “package” which contains the chip on which the superconducting qubits are located.

The disks (we call them plates) are different temperature stages for the refrigerator, with lower stages being colder than upper stages. The last stage has operating temperature ~10-20mK. Then 100 mK, 1K, 3K, 50K and lastly room temperature. Most of the other things on the refrigerator are involved either in signal filtering, thermal anchoring, or thermal isolation. When operational, all of the stages are enclosed in multiple cylindrical thermal shields. The outermost layer is the “vacuum can” which is airtight and allows for the whole thing to operate under internal vacuum.

Edit: This is just one type of quantum computing device. Others, such as trapped ion or neutral atom rigs would look radically different. Larger vacuum enclosures, different ways of performing control/read operations (lasers!), etc.
> Lots of great and performant UIs have been built on the web platform.

At the risk of simply mirroring dmitriid's comment, and without wishing to come across as snarky: which ones?

I don't think I've ever seen an Electron app that couldn't have been implemented in C++ to run appreciably faster and use at most a quarter of the memory.
I disagree, and am glad you clarified your position.

My view is that these companies are privately run and online communities should be free to run them as they wish. If, say, Christian Mingle wants to ban atheists from using the platform to spread their message, they should be allowed to do that without suddenly taking on liability for things like copyright infringement. If a woodworking community wants to ban discussion of politics, they should be allowed to do that without retribution. If a dating website wants to ban people who say gross things in a first message, there's nothing wrong with allowing them to exist and compete in the marketplace.

If I, as a user of social media, want to belong to a community that removes misinformation around the election, government shouldn't ban such a platform from allowing to exist (since without 230, that'd essentially be impossible). Companies should compete on an equal footing and shouldn't be penalized due to whatever speech policies they favor. It's not government's job to enforce neutral speech codes.

That said, I know some folks disagree and favor government taking a more active role in speech regulations in order to make sure nobody is banned from social media. While both Democrats and Republicans are pushing for changes, mostly only one side favors using the threat of law to enforce their will. It's not that you're genuinely concerned about things like copyright infringement -- you're clearly in favor of laws that would force social media companies to choose between removing the ability of its users to post without a legal review, or using the speech policy you favor, knowing they'll choose the latter. (Since, with so many posts, they couldn't exist with the former.)

I'm not arguing for using SQL as a git interface, I'm just saying git would greatly benefit from better interface based on some consistent and clear separation of concerns.

> the problems it is trying to solve are more complex than what could be dealt with in a SQL dialect.

It's not. SQL simplified A LOT of underlying details. There are dozens of types of indexes. There's partitioning and sharding. There's online backups. There are transactions - local and distributed ones. There's savepoints and rollbacks.

If SQL databases were like GIT - selects with joins using different indexes would have different syntax because "you need to understand the underlying structure" :)
We're currently in an era where UI mostly means doing react type stuff or IOS/Android native, for whatever very loose definition of native you wish to use.

A trend that is interesting here is jetpack compose and swift UI, which are both inspired by react but better in the sense that they make full use of their respective type systems to make things like data bindings a lot less painful than they are in react. At least that being painful must be a reason why they keep changing how that works in every major release.

Add internal DSLs to the mix and you are basically looking at a nicer way to do UIs. That's only covering mobile currently unfortunately. However, Jetbrains just announced Compose Desktop which brings this to the desktop as well. If they figure out how to target web and IOS with this, they could very well have a winner.

For the web there is currently something called Fritz2, which runs via kotlin-js and basically adds very similar style bindings to a react like component framework. It's fully written in Kotlin and I've been meaning to give it a try so I can use my multi platform kotlin libraries there as well without having to figure out react and how to make that play nice with things like co-routines, data classes, etc.

For me the trend here is new UI frameworks originating outside of the javascript world gaining traction and eventually ending up running in a browser as well. IMHO it's that that is ripe for disruption.
From reading the Wikipedia article, it sounds like "run by" overstates his role, but wow nevertheless.
That's actually quite a depressing look - while the community can often get undocumented & closed user hostile hardware run their OS of choice, it's hardly ever as seamless as installing a modern Linux distro on about anything x86, usually without issues - mostly thanks to standards such as BIOS/UEFI, ACPI & others.

Also even if you liberate a single device, it does not mean all your hack will work on the next one - it's a never ending battle. And without making sure manufacturers actually respect some standards such as they do on x86, it might become a loosing battle long term...
I don’t know what fulfilled means, but my priority is to equip them with the abilities needed to shelter, feed, and otherwise obtain necessities for themselves.

Which, for many people, ends up being participating in the “meritocracy tournament” to secure cash flow. But I let them know what the rules and parameters of the game are, and possible consequences of various actions. After that, it’s up to them to figure out their goals.
This doesn't mention the legal and regulatory issues involved. Airbnb, Uber, and the like benefited by basically ignoring the law. People were free to run hotels without any of the oversight or become cab drivers without having the proper insurance. If something went wrong, the financial and legal liability often rested with some other party besides these companies.

That is one of the primary differences between the easy and hard mode categories that were defined here. Booking.com only had so much inventory because it was operating within the legal definition of travel destinations. Airbnb invented new inventory by lowering the barrier to entry by giving people the freedom to ignore the law.

I am not even necessarily saying that is a bad thing or that these laws were just, but it is clear that lots of laws were broken in Airbnb's path to their eventual IPO.
I've posted this to say that you can apparently completely disable secure boot on the new M1 Macs if you disable System Integrity Protection first before opening the Startup Security Utility.

"Permissive Security: Does not enforce any requirements on the bootable operating system.

Note: The Permissive Security option appears only when System Integrity Protection (SIP) is disabled. To disable SIP, start up your Mac in macOS Recovery, open Terminal, then run the command csrutil disable."
While we're at it, we can check other elements as potential reversible fuels. Nitrogen? Sulfur? Aluminum? Sodium?.. Is iron optimal?
Oh absolutely, it's just not as extreme as people make out.

Yes, they won't support dual booting linux - you can run a VM, but if that's a dealbreaker - fair enough.

There's absolutely no chance however that savvy users will not be able to continue running non app store apps.

Apple want control, but they're not stupid enough to completely lock down the development machines for their entire ecosystem.
That's not an issue with overriding the system DNS. It's the point of overriding the system DNS. Content blocking by anyone but the user is a bad thing, and if you the user want it, then install uBlock Origin or something.
Discrete GPUs probably, though I don't see a reason Apple couldn't cram more of their own GPU cores onto a die.
This an interesting option I never considered. Somehow, I wasn't aware of the C930 book. It looks like it's been discontinued, but there are still many being sold.

I've also toyed with the idea of purchasing an old Surface Pro 3 because of the price and the ability to run a full Linux distro—though obviously, I lose all the benefits of e-ink with this option.
