The main protagonists are shown to have negative views of the immigrants. The Indians are presented as racists and judging people on superficial characteristics. That's probably the author's feelings being projected onto the subjects of his story. Yes, it makes it wrong if it's more historical imagination.

I guess I'm coming from a foreigner's perspective where I never read any of that writing from the pilgrim's perspective. All I see about Indians presents them as noble savages.
No, I did not say how much, it is like anything, not too little, not too much.

These are great points. You might consider bringing it up with Debian developers again.

Despite some of the difficulties the author mentioned in the article, Debian has successfully spearheaded some ambitious project-wide initiatives, like reproducible builds. So I don't think it's out of the question that they could vastly improve the packaging experience for both users and developers with something like Nix or Guix.

Of course the biggest question is: how does one get there from here? For example-- can the Nix packaging approach coexist and play nice with the current Debian packaging system for years to come?
I don't think it misses that point. System A needs building blocks X,Y,Z to work. They can either buy or build them.

Someone needs to have built blocks X,Y,Z for them to be available for purchase, but the people building X,Y,Z aren't trying to build A. They have their own goal, which is building X,Y,Z, which probably could be done using blocks U,V,W.

It's not "consumerist" so much as "informed about the state of the art." The opposite is generally "I'm a genius engineer who can reinvent something better than what exists without looking at what exists." (You probably can't).
Oh nice. I've worked in aerospace too, on smaller parts and sensors (didn't require a large office/factory).

The office was somewhat compartmentalized with biometrics between some rooms, classic in aerospace/defense work. IMO we were at zero risk of having an open office plan or noisy neighbors because of the domain.

The higher manager believed in giving double displays to those who did EE (layout and routing). Eventually every engineers was officially doing that to qualify for the double displays.

We were buying a fair amount of parts/electronics/hardware as part of the activity, some of it rather expensive. It wasn't too difficult to slip displays into the larger orders and get them approved. I recall every test bench I made came de facto with a PC and dual IPS display in the bill of materials lol
I think you are underestimating what AI will do to computer science once AI can reason about source code in a software system better. GPT-3 writing code from prose amplified by 1000x doesn't seem so far off. This will likely trigger sort of an Cambrian explosion of software systems.
What helps me to keep faith in humanity is imagining being alive during Galileo‘s time. How suffocating it must have been for him to find everyone everywhere rejecting science..? Sure we have a large number of people now that don’t believe in masks, vaccines, etc.., but keep in mind that the majority of the popular vote in the US voted for someone that does believe in science. Progress is being made, just sometimes it requires a step back to see it.

The unfair coin that can't be more likely to give two different results than two the same assumes that each flip has the same probabilities (so k doesn't depend on how many times you flipped it or what you got). Which is fair, but maybe a coin could be built that tends to toggle between outcomes. If it was half full of honey, and you flipped it over once in your hand after catching to read it, it might be more likely to give the other result the next time.

Anyway, this is a bit outside the box; the point was that within a set of rules there was a problem that was impossible to solve.

Same issue is looming for many jurisdictions that have funded roads and public transit with gas taxes. As gas taxes decline, there becomes a hole in the budget.

Yes EVs are better than ICE vehicles on CO2 emissions, so of course we should pivot to that, but beyond that cars are still harmful and need to go away as much as they can. EVs create toxic road dust (brake pads + tire wear), congest the roads and kill pedestrians just like regular ICE cars.

Better for the taxpayer, the pedestrian, and the environment would be to fund roads and public transit through other, more stable means that don't rely on stable/increasing car ownership (eg. income taxes, wealth taxes), and then save money by limiting road expansion and taking cars off the road as we improve active and public transport.
> It also helps if you can split your app into an API and a client app, as APIs consume a lot less resources than traditional web apps.

We shouldn't focus so much on what's best for us (at least in operating costs) that we sacrifice what's best for the end-user. In many cases, a conventional server-rendered web application is what's best for the end-user. If we develop one of those by combining an API backend with a separate server-rendered application consuming it, we've likely added extraneous complexity and resource consumption to get back to what we used to have in an integrated server-rendered web app.

Also, as DHH has written [1] [2], an integrated system, a.k.a. monolith, is best for programmer productivity and especially for getting the most out of a small team of generalists. I want to use a framework whose authors and community are opinionated about this. It seems to me that the Phoenix framework and the broader Elixir community fall into this category, while still delivering pretty good performance. I've also taken a hard look at ASP.NET Core, but I don't think it's as focused on the integrated approach. So, after being undecided for too long, I'm using Phoenix for my new project.

Yeah I’m honestly not sure how anyone can make a case against giving users a choice with a straight face. We’re already conditioned to all these annoying GDPR pop ups anyway, so it’s not like another one would disrupt the status quo. Besides, contrary to the GDPR “consent” pop-ups, this upcoming iOS one actually has a useful impact.

> As compared to pretty much every Democrat in every office for the past 4 years calling Trump supporters Nazis and saying and tweeting things just as bad if not worse? Why are you giving them a pass?

"Well your team is cheating so it's legitimate that we cheat too!".. fucking hell, talk about undignified. It's always this "Well the other side is doing it too!", well, god damn, talk about a lack of self-respect and not expecting "your side" to have some dignity. "Oh it's fine that my beloved Trump is an incoherent clown spewing nonsense instead of showing some class and intelligence, because the Dems are tweeting about Nazis!". "Every democrat in every office", that sounds a little bit (a lot) of hyperbole...

> They are most likely buying time while they put together the much bigger case that ties everything together.

Oh, honey, bless your heart.

Bet you 1000 bucks they have nothing. I suppose we'd have to define what "bigger case" means. Maybe 1000 votes that a court confirms to be fraudlent and agrees to throw out? Although Biden would still win without said 1000 votes.

Although the next step in your conspiracy theorist mind is that the courts are in in the theft of the election. And so democracy gets undermined a bit further in the USA (except in your mind it was those god-damned libruls who are responsible).
Yeah, that's potentially compelling; if you've got UEFI enabled boards for those platforms. A quick search says maybe raspberry pi 4 supports uefi booting, which would be interesting.

> So far it has seemed to me that there aren’t many commercial backers of Wayland.

A very decent % of car-automotive infotainment systems are GENIVI[1] and Automotive Grade Linux based, which have been Wayland based.

LG's webOS runs on Wayland.

Much of Collabora's interest comes from involvement with Chrome & ChromeOS. I originally was thinking ChromeOS switched entirely to Wayland, but looking around I'm having a hard time confirming. I believe this is true: ChromeOS has an "Aura" shell which leverages the Chrome infrastructure. Chrome has it's own "Ozone" api for rendering. A lot of Collabora work & other has gone into the Ozone's Wayland backend.

In the future, the Lacros[2] project intends to run Chrome the browser inside their Chrome-based Exo/Exosphere display server, which is impemented in Aura. Kind of weird situation. Still not sure what Aura or Exo directly uses, whether it keeps a Mus or other special Ozone backend, or whether it too will run on Wayland, but the browser inside ChromeOS is going to be running on Wayland "soon".

One can also run Android apps under Spruv[3], which targets Wayland.

> Well, non-ECC RAM can report "0 errors" for less money.

"0 errors" is very different from "ECC not available," and that's a distinction I'd expect the operating system to be able to make.

For example, here's how Linux shows ECC and non-ECC memory reports:

# ECC
$ sudo edac-util -v
mc0: 0 Uncorrected Errors with no DIMM info
mc0: 0 Corrected Errors with no DIMM info
edac-util: No errors to report.

# Non-ECC
$ sudo edac-util -v
edac-util: Error: No memory controller data found.

Not every sector/location allows to find a "better company". We're not all superstar JS developers in a tech hub.
That's true, but there's an amusingly odd theorem (downwards Lowenheim-Skolem) that implies that if set theory has a model, it has a countable model. So, in a sense, all sets are countable. I think this just leads you to the next problem, which is that (I think) it would be undecidable normalizing and sorting these sets.
I am only recently hearing about these things. Taking down YouTube DL and all the twitch streamers having to delete their old videos. Seems like a fairly recent push into being aggressive litigators again.
Back when netbooks were all the rage (ironically, ~2009), I used to run Tinycore on a shitty, cheap Asus EEE. It was a decent linux setup, it had wifi, a browser, standard tools... even a C compiler; much snappier than the XP setup it came with.

I couldn't tell you how complete/solid it was, I was in middle school back then and I doubt I ever did any "work" beyond toy programs on vim, but it was my first contact with linux and a major factor that pushed me towards getting into CS.

Glad to see the project is still going strong after all these years.
> can the Nix packaging approach coexist and play nice with the current Debian packaging system for years to come?

Yes, Nix or an equivalent implementation like Guix stores all packages in a separate tree (e.g. /nix). In fact, Nix can be used outside NixOS. It's in fact quite popular in some distros and macOS.

Hence, rolling out Nix or an equivalent tool can be done smoothly. Both can co-exist nicely.
Not an argument, just a point of view for which I'm open to any and all.

edit: but the cost of rare earth mining is huge and if you don't want to do your own research... that's your call.

One of the simplest arguments against it to me is basically to look at the landscape. For example, in the US, ballpark 1% of cars are electric. Meanwhile, the flat federal fuel tax is not indexed to inflation & hasn't been increased in almost thirty years. Yet everyone is in this panic about how EVs are going to cause a huge revenue shortfall!? I'm not opposed to EVs paying their share, but something is rotten in Denmark.

Anyway, shifting fuel taxes onto tires might make sense. All cars use tires, no matter the fuel, it requires no odometer reading, and a tire has a designed application & load range which ought to translate reasonably well to anticipated road wear.
Hah.

Thanks for the perspective. I was an early Instagram user, but deleted my account not so long after they introduced stories.

Recently, I registered a new account, and after a grace period without ads, I was surprised by just how drenched it has become in advertising. I used it to follow professional athletes. First of, many of the organic posts are themselves sponsored advertising, then the athletes share brand posts from their sponsors, and then between every story you get an actual ad.

Of course, with more personal connections the trade of might be different, but for my use case described above Instagram seemed unsustainable.
I agree that EVs cause problems and should be taxed too. In addition to the issues you mention, I also worry that subsidies for luxury car brands like Tesla are funded by redistributing wealth from the poor to the rich.

But the problem with funding roads from income/wealth taxes is that it moves it further away from being a user-pays system, which creates the wrong incentives. One way to avoid this would be a variable tax that shifts continuously with the mix of vehicles on the road.

I would say similar to the startup world, it is going to be hit or miss (mostly miss). The potential is in being part of a small team (<10) that ships a game netting tens of millions of dollars in revenue. There are also a small handful of indie games with > $100M in revenue, those that get bought by Microsoft and Epic (i.e. Minecraft and Rocket League), and those that turn into the next Rockstar (they all had to start somewhere).

All that said, most don't go into indie games looking to strike it rich. They go into indie games because they are looking to make something unique and creative, away from the bureaucracy of the larger studios/publishers, with the potential for a nice "lifestyle" income.
