> Paper is black on white for a reason

That's a bullshit argument when you're talking about technology thousands of years old made with material constraints. How would parchment be rendered black, smear it with soot, which would then rub off on everything it touched? Would you instead ink the entire page? Would something other than parchment be used, and if so what? And what white pigments would have lent themselves to writing? With dark ink you have numerous options, some of them cheaper than dirt. For white pigments you're looking at chalk or lead oxides, neither of which is nearly as available as a little charcoal.

I'm not disputing that for non-emissive text, dark on light is better. But our culture adopting this scheme had a lot more to do with materials that were available in the past than anything else. The alternative wasn't evaluated because it was simply less practical to implement.

>The boss needed item 3 inserted into a numbered list of hundreds of items. The intern used a mouse to select the original 3 on the screen, then typed 4, then selected the original 4, then typed 5, then scrolled down, then selected the original 5, then typed 6, and so on. Another intern sat watching the screen to make sure there were no mistakes.

Microsoft Word has automatic numbering. Just to be sure, I opened Word, and entered a numbered list. When I inserted a new numbered item, it automatically renumbered the list. Also, converting from a numbered list to bullet points is as simple as selecting the list and clicking the bullets icon instead of the numbered list icon.

This opening anecdote makes me think the author is completely unfamiliar with Word, and is strawmanning it.

Well, I would say that the tool to really beat here is IDA Pro, with radare2 largely feeling like a poor man's attempt at IDA from my limited trials of it. In the past decade, Binary Ninja and Ghidra came out to also compete in this space, and the cutter project came out to give a sorely-needed GUI for radare2. Of the new tools, the only one I've tried is Ghidra.

Personally, were cost not an issue, I would just stick with IDA. However, IDA Pro is obscenely expensive, with the cheapest version "only" $365/yr and a full version costing into the tens of thousands, and it's not clear to me that the cost is worth it. I've had a lot of paper-cuts with Ghidra, but it still feels far better to me than radare2.

>I think these studies are all significantly flawed because successful people with dark personality traits learn to cover up their dark traits.

If those people have to cover up their dark personality traits then that's a pretty good indication that the results of the study is correct, namely that dark traits are disadvantageous.

>is you aren't limited by a moral compass

Moral values don't limit you in a negative sense of the term, that's why we evolved to have them in the first place. If they were useless, you'd see a lot more psychopaths around. It sounds like you're thinking of morality in religious terms, as some sort of negative worldly thing that we ought to do despite of consequences. In reality moral decision making is a sort of game that produces rules which are mutually beneficial and create long term stable social relationships.

>After all, having greater optionality in your actions is likely to lead to a more optimal path towards your goal.

No, not in the long term. Absence of moral values is as risky as a society without a rule of law. 'Greater optionality' just leads to maladjustment which over time fires back both on society, and then on the individual in question, which is why people with dark personality traits are much more at risk to not hold a job, be drug dependent, in damaging relationships, or engage in crime.

Recently I ask them cheerfully: Hey, nice to hear from you, how's business, did you scam a lot of people today?
Please, no. I've written thousands of pages in LaTeX, and it's far more usable than most tools IF you can resist trying to overcomplicate things. For example, want a diagram? If you do it in xfig/inkscape/omnigraffle, you'll have little pain. If you decide to get clever and try to programmatically do it via tikz or some other package, you've opened up a world of pain.

The level of pain experienced by LaTeX users in my experience is more often poor choices made by the users who create unnecessary complexity. Avoid that, and it's a pretty reasonable model to work in.
So would I. :-)

It's on my TODO list.

It's certainly true that GL JS and Native never really got third-party contributors, and that the complexity of the task is a major reason; like you say, there aren't many GL hobby devs. Another reason is that they're simply great libraries and there hasn't been that much reason for anyone to contribute - I can only ever recall encountering one significant issue and it wasn't a showstopper.

But there's more to it. When the roadmap of an open-source project is tightly controlled by a sponsor, that can make third-party contributions hard or impossible. I know OSRM much better than MBGL so I'll cite an example from that - the distance matrix issue. This is massive for many users, plays right to OSRM's strengths, but Mapbox wouldn't accept patches to provide it for _years_. IIRC it only got in when Mapbox's attention shifted to Valhalla.

I'm not blaming the Mapbox devs at all for that; it wasn't important for Mapbox's business, and any extra code inevitably brings a maintenance burden. But it partly explains why third-party contributors are reluctant to contribute when the roadmap's out of their control.

Back on MBGL, there was/is a community, but the community formed around MVT rather than MBGL specifically - again, possibly because MBGL is just so good. https://github.com/mapbox/awesome-vector-tiles sums up the enormous community energy in the space (I think that might be your document originally, apologies if not). It's kind of a shame that MBGL being so far ahead of everything else has probably crimped development on alternative renderers.
Very tangentially related, a distributed tile service could be interesting. I'd love to just download a virtual appliance, point it at some disk space, and tell it how much bandwidth to use. Maaaaybe tell it what region to focus on, if I want to use my own local tile server for my own local projects because it won't ratelimit me because I'm me.

But if I could just do that, and with no further admin overhead, contribute to some sort of tile-cloud, I'd find that a lot more meaningful than seeding my favorite distro's torrents, you know?

> They won't release sources for those packages unless you'll ask for those packages (you, as a paid client, not you as nobody in the Internet).

If the code in question is licensed under the GPL and Red Hat isn't the owner of the code, then I as a rando on the Internet can ask them for the source and if they don't provide it, the person who does own the code can sue them and revoke their license to distribute said code. And I'd say that the majority of code in RHEL is not owned by Red Hat.
Go ahead and call me a fanboy but... Apple really nails the "it just works".

I'm a software engineer, and I'm happy to get my hands dirty with some code. But when it comes to my devices, I really don't want to waste my time trying to figure out why this or that device, doesn't pair with, or work well with, my other device.

Apple just does this better than anyone else.

I recently got an Apple watch and the setup process was sublime. Pairing with all my other devices, was effortless. Instantly my watch was "mine" with everything I need on it.

The LTE setup was mostly painless too. There was a bug in the process that was on Verizon's end, but other than that, getting my phone paired to my number was a breeze.

The pairing with my phone, and my mac, is what makes this whole ecosystem special. It just works, and it works pretty damn well. Yes, you can get most of this functionality on a windows or linux machine, with an android phone, airpod replicas, and an android based smart watch but the fluidity of the apple integration is unmatched.

This is what (some) people are willing to pay more for.

I highly recommend the free Software Debugging course on Udacity[1]. It focuses on a systematic approach to debugging, and using/building tools to automate your debugging process.

"Headphones" is plural. The "phone" bit refers to the actual drivers, of which there are at least two in a pair of stereo headphones. That's why we say a pair of headphones.

i dont agree with this..

in debian testing is the next major version, while centos stream is testing for the next minor release.

It is fedora that is testing for next major release.

sid would be similar to fedora rawhide..

sid <=> fedora rawhide

testing (bullseye) <=> fedora, altough not every fedora became a rhel

stable (buster) <=> rhel

centos stream would be likely similar to having stable with the proposed repo fully enabled.
> > > We can’t perform arithmetic on an Option<int> any more than we could on a List<int>.

Is actually kind of a weird point to make. There are number of ways to add together List<int> including:

listA.zip(listB).map(([a, b]) => a + b);

Similarly adding together two optionals could be done with:

optionalA.zip(optionalB).map(([a, b]) => a + b);

Or if you would rather:

optionalA
.zip(optionalB)
.map(([a, b]) => a + b)
.or(optionalA)
.or(optionalB)
You're not the first person to point this out and the answer is: yes it does need tweaking. I'll add it to the list!
I don't trust any of those companies to deliver Bluetooth headphones that use best-in-class audio protocols to prioritize audio quality over compatibility. I expect them to outsource a Bluetooth chip that can't negotiate AAC over the air, because they weren't willing to pay the chip cost or licensing fee. I expect them to be unable to easily pair with five separate devices (including Windows 10) and transition between them rapidly. I expect them to cheapen their audio experience when they go wireless.

If Apple's new thing was wired only, I wouldn't even consider them. I already have my custom balanced-XLR Beyerdynamics on a pile of Schiit on my office desk. They serve that purpose beautifully, and I see no reason to change that.

The DT1770s that you compare them to are not wireless. They're not in the same market at all as Apple's wireless products. Of the manufacturers you list, I trust none of them to meet wireless needs. I trust Apple to meet wireless needs as much as I trust Beyerdynamic to meet wired needs.
Woah. That almost has to be espionage, doesn't it? I mean, you don't have garden-variety thieves saying "Hey, here's an idea. Let's go steal the most secret thing possible from the military!

Although, if they had enough vodka... maybe they would.
I'm really sorry to hear it didn't work out the way Mapbox would have needed. However, pull requests to the core are not the only way to contribute to an open source project: think of all the map data you needed (by OSM contributors), all the bug reports you received, all the code people built that supported your paid product ecosystem (the map APIs).

Regarding code contributions, the community contributed e.g. the TypeScript and React bindings, or am I mistaken?

By comparison to Apple, Sennheiser is both small and undercapitalized. And the more "boutique" suppliers are much more so.

In Apple's fiscal 4th quarter alone:

4Q 2020 revenue: $64.7B
4Q 2020 capital returned to shareholders: $22B

And for Apple's fiscal year:

2020 revenue: $274.5B
2020 R&D: $18.8B

So Apple spent more than 19x Sennheiser's 2019 revenue in R&D this year.

You can easily sideload an app, sure. But recent version of Android restricted background running of the apps, making developers dependent on push notifications, and FCM notifications won't work without Google services.
And they also avoided GPLv2. Sure, they had bash, but all of the "coreutils" were the BSD flavors. That an exception was made for one or a couple of things doesn't exactly counter my claim very strongly.
When you price out the TCO of staying in the Apple ecosystem... It's quite a bit more in yearly spend than other companies. Feels simply not worth it even with moderate earning power. Maybe I'd do it if I was making some of the wages I see around here :).

Seems like a step backwards. One of the great things about Latex (or raw tex) is that you can simply type it into a buffer. No need to mouse around to select text or anything like that. Hard to find anything really more usable than that.

Back in 1984 I wrote a small WYSIWYG editor at PARC that outputted primitive LaTex. Fortunately LaTeX was quite early stage and that little project went nowhere. But one of the lessons was that semantic markup was much easier to do by just typing rather than trying to infer it context, while -driven changes meant people usually just changed font and size and erased the semantic anyway. This has been borne out by Word.

I guess it would probably be cool to have a specially designed chair with attached gear etc., but I found I could achieve the same effect with my couch, a table for my computer, and a coffee table for my mouse. My keyboard just sits on my lap.

I've always found office chairs hideously uncomfortable, so it's been pretty great. The key seems to have been getting my reclining posture to be almost neutral, with my head up a bit. My monitor sits on the corner of the table so it's almost directly in my sight-line.

Because my body is totally relaxed I don't get the discomfort or tightness of sitting upright for extended periods. I have to remember to get up and move around regularly though, because there's no discomfort trigger.

That's assuming the businesses using the Apache Licensed version are comfortable with the original developer moving to xGPL.

Also, the businesses need to be wary of other proprietary code they might have to now open source as an unintended side-effect of moving to xGPL.
Funny joke, but doesnt defeat my real experience off not smelling anything. What areas are you talking about?
Studying history will teach you this. The most successful leaders go around committing morally ambiguous but advatangeous acts that can be spun into a good story (or at least a story the general population at the time would've bought into). Sometimes just straight up atrocities if they can get away with it.

It is not much different today. The US has a department of Defense, which flies death robots around in impoverished areas. It's just optics and always has been.
Fully agreed. Debugging skills are not that hard to teach, while of course practice makes perfect.

Debugging is not limited to EE/CS courses of course. The sound on the TV doesn't work? But you still get a picture? So the HDMI cable is carrying the video correctly. Sound goes through the same cable, so it's not a cable issue. Do you hear sound if you switch to another input? Then the speaker is working fine. And so on. Divide and conquer.

Debugging (figuring out problems) relies on a handful of basic principles:

- having some understanding of how the system works

- looking for differences. A works, B doesn't. What are the differences between A and B?

- tracing issues through components (the data we care about makes it to the database, but the UI doesn't show it)

That's about it. Definitely teachable.

1. Maybe its time to move on, problem with small tech companies is there has to be an opportunity for you to move into.
