> "uses the tools of finance to bring down capitalism and create a democratic market socialist economy in its stead"

What in the hell does this even mean? We already have social security, food stamps, tax transfers, public services for the homeless, medicare and medicaid. How is this new system going to be qualitatively and not just by degrees a different type of economy that is not "capitalist" compared to what we have now?

Is not not going to have banks? No, it will have banks.

Is it not going to have capital markets? No, it will have capital markets.

Is it not going to have the private ownership of assets? No, it will have the private ownership of assets.

Is it not going to use currency as a medium of exchange. No, it will use currency as a medium of exchange.

Is it going to use the government to redistribute wealth? Yes, just like we already do.

That is simultaneously socialistic and capitalistic just like almost every country in the entire world is.

This guy is partisan policy pandering and framing it as a revolution. I think he is decorated or respected in certain economics circles or whatever but when you evaluate his words he clearly fails to understand basic concepts of his field. He's a hack.
To expand on this, my work responsibilities often but don't exclusively involve monitoring logs or graphs, and usually I have one monitor dedicated to this. My goal is to encourage myself to look at it every time I remember to do so, and greasing the wheels means tiling windows so I don't have to touch anything. I'm peeking at them like my rear view mirrors.

If I haven't set up a vertical monitor, that's two browsers with half the screen (or 55% with some clever overlapping to clip margins). If I got around to rotating my display, that's could be a portrait window or still only 1100 pixels wide.
I suspect that a lot of technical people look at this and say "Yup. It's a bug and nothing to be done about it unless it's patched." Whereas, as you say, the reality is probably that judges up and down the line say "Nope. You're not getting away with it" and/or prosecutors figure out ways to charge the person in a different jurisdiction.
IMNSHO, more or less the case since they stopped using tables for layout.

Yes, but a crack team consisting of James Bond, Jason Bourne, Jack Bauer, and Joe Biden could go in and kill the supervillain without any legal repercussions.
4. Short interest only matters when a company gets bought out. At which point, the short interest is entirely rolled back to 0% and short-sellers take the ultimate loss.

Beyond that, it could go to 100%, 200%, or whatever people feel like. There's nothing special about 100% short interest at all.
This seems pretty incredible.

I wonder if it could be combined with this technology

It is the presumptive fact in the absence of viable alternatives. IF one is discovered, we can revisit the question.
Hims.ai launches no-code Covid vaccine administration apps to help hospitals
Good advice in general, but I'd caution the OP against investing too much of their limited energy on fighting protracted legal battles unless they had some other evidence that we're not seeing.

I'm particularly concerned about this quote from the OP:

> My performance never dropped, only my communication. I never stopped coding.

Specifically, I'm concerned the OP continued to write and submit code while also failing to respond to communications from the employer, without a prior explanation. As a remote employee, communication is a key part of performance. Unfortunately, if the OP was submitting code during this episode it would have signaled that they were active and working, yet refusing to communicate. Without an explanation (which was only provided later), this would easily be grounds for dismissal of a remote employee.

We don't know all the details, but it appears the OP only communicated the situation after seeing a scheduled meeting with HR, which they suspect was related to a planned firing:

> I suspected they were going to fire me (scheduled 1am call with HR) and I've decided to share with them 3 days ago my Bipolar Diagnosis.

If the OP waited until the firing meeting with HR to communicate any of these issues, it was too late. Who would fault a company for terminating a remote employee who wasn't responding to communication? If they had requested reasonable accommodations or a leave of absence prior to the suspected firing meeting, that would be a different story. However, it appears the company had no idea that the employee was in need of these accommodations or a leave of absence for the period of time leading up to these events, even though the employee continued to submit code.

The OP likely has limited time and energy at the moment. Adding an uphill legal battle which is unlikely to produce a positive outcome is not going to help that situation. It may very well be best to cut losses, focus on healing, and move on.
I think what you're trying to say is that the metaphorical "lynching" is justified given the deleterious effects of hedge funds continued existence, correct?
But what's going to be their platform? Consoles? Doubt it, the manufacturers have a lockdown on the platform. PC? They might be able to enter, but they're going to have their work cut out for them considering there's steam, epic, and a plethora of first-party launchers (eg. origin or uplay).
Ok, fair point, then maybe we ought to be quibbling over the semantics of "mistreat" then. IMO making software not work if the user doesn't pay isn't mistreating the user. GNU disagrees and thinks anything short of 100% optional/unenforced payment is mistreating the user.
> What's really fun is that Alice and Charlie may not even know that they've lent their stock.

last i checked brokers _cannot_ just loan out random alice and charlie's shares.

only once you've got a margin account and you've gone into debt can they use your shares. if you've got a margin account and you didn't read the contract, well... god help you, nobody else can.

as i understand it, loaned shares generally come from large institutional investors. the folks managing your index funds make extra money by loaning the underlying shares. (maybe that's what you meant? but the prospectuses for index funds make it clear that they do this sort of thing.)

AFAICT from the Internets, BB10 OS actually supports VoLTE, but there's no way to manually enable it. Given the support status of the devices no carrier will provision VoLTE on it for you these days either, so we're out of luck.

I suppose it should be clear from context that I meant online, but I'd like to offer some food for thought around offline trust as well.

In 2009, a man arrived at the world-famous Sun Studio in Memphis, TN for a private tour. He told David Brookings, the young, aspiring musician giving the private tour, that his name was Steve Eason. David had been briefed that Eason was a big figure in the music industry, very famous, and so Sun would have to be very careful to preserve his privacy. Eason was also darn ill; he'd been hooked up to some gear that followed him around the studio.

The kid had never heard of Steve Eason, but he gave a passionate tour. At the end, David handed Steve a CD with music on it, hoping to land a record deal. A month later, Brookings got a message from Apple, asking him to come join iTunes to curate Rock & Roll playlists.

And Steve Eason? He wasn't a musician, or even a record producer. The man receiving the Sun Studio tour was Steve Jobs, who had been in Memphis to receive a kidney transplant for pancreatic cancer. He was staying in a house bought by a man named Eason, but Eason was - in fact - the doctor Jobs had scheduled to perform the transplant surgery.

Brookings has worked at Apple to this day.

In truth, more people go by alias names than you'd expect. Without checking a driver's license (and, depending on the sensitivity, maybe some utility bills), you may never know if someone is who they say they are.

Also, I have friends I've met offline, who have moved around to different countries and swapped devices. It's always a big pain trying to establish trust once your physical relationships go digital. There are only so many challenge-response questions to ask them (i.e., things only the two of you know). In reality, our digital and offline lives are intermingled; they each inseparably affect the other, and sometimes it feels like identity problems are turtles all the way down.

Eww. The Manjaro arm64 kernel is hacked up and very far from vanilla/mainline Linux. A hot mess if I have ever seen one.
Linux has historically been associated with a penguin mascot, so seems like perhaps they pivoted to the local name of a different bird, the eagle, which is what Garuda literally translates to (in addition to being the name of the mythological king of the eagles).

The ||Shree|| at the top is a religious symbol when presented in that way though, as a search for that term will easily demonstrate:

https://www.google.com/search?safe=strict&rlz=1CAUSXU_enUS92...

The only common non-religious context for that word is when it means "Mr." but for that it must precede a name. So I'm not sure why it's there if not as a religious symbol. It would be similar to having "God is great" or "Allahu 'Akbar" up there.

Perhaps projecting their religious identity is important for the developers of this project.

“Kwin the X11 window manager” and “Kwin the Wayland compositor” are entirely different things that look similar on the surface.

In an alternative universe there would be Kwin the X11 display server which would replace Xorg. I’m sure it would just be as big riddled and feature incomplete in the early years of its development.
Browsers should have more say. In a perfect world, the web developer should not even need to know the browser's width or height, whether it's a phone or computer, or what kind of input devices are available. The developer should simply provide some kind of semantically tagged content (text and images), a list of suggested colors and fonts, and let the browser make the final call, based on what's best for the particular platform and screen size.

Somehow we've gotten to this world where the web designer expects almost-pixel-perfect control over the layout of every little thing on the page, user's preference be damned. You're not laying out a magazine page in a desktop publishing application!

As for scrubbing PII, they are now supporting the OpenTelemetry tracing API which does this as standard. For query endpoints you will see something like "QUERY Users where name=? email=?", i.e. masking with "?" chars as you only care about the keys since those what determine your indexing or lack thereof. (This is handled in the OpenTelemetry application library/plugin level.)

As an aside, PII scrubbing should be done that whether or not you own the cluster, because even if you own the cluster you generally don't want your support staff seeing PII esp. as organization grows larger.
No I feel the same, if this was just some random art commission or something it would still be an incredibly interesting piece (and story).
Or just pay for one of the commercial JDKs that have been around with AOT and JIT caches support, like JRockit or IBM in the pre-OpenJ9 days.

I'm talking about a userspace-only Linux compatibility layer for Windows.

As far as I understand, Wine (a userspace-only Win32 emulator) is possible because Windows applications always go through the standard library for system calls, which therefore can be hooked without kernel support.

The same is not generally true for Linux binaries – these usually do go through glibc, but direct syscalls are possible (through raising the appropriate interrupt or instruction).

I don't think there's an easy way to trap these without kernel support (which is what WSL 1 has been doing).

IMO S100 is under-represented in the history of microcomputers. That history is usually represented as Apple, Tandy, Commodore and Atari vs IBM PC & clones. But in my opinion, the IBM PC & clone / MS-DOS ecosystem is a fairly direct successor of the S100+CP/M ecosystem.
That's just it, Xorg did tons of things that it never should have been involved with. It used to have a print server FFS.

Wayland is trying to do one thing well, whereas Xorg did many things poorly. It's valid to feel frustration that the community doesn't coordinate to put those APIs in place, but it's very much not valid to blame Wayland developers for it.
I never suggested the employee wasn't entitled to ADA accommodations. Are you perhaps confusing my comment with some of the other comments in this thread?

The problem is that the OP didn't request accommodations until HR had already scheduled a meeting, which the OP assumes was to fire them:

> I suspected they were going to fire me (scheduled 1am call with HR) and I've decided to share with them 3 days ago my Bipolar Diagnosis.

The OP also explains that they were not communicating with the company leading up to this event.

Unfortunately, the ADA accommodations can't be retroactively applied after the company has fired the employee.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the OP's post, we shouldn't be encouraging them to pursue legal action which is unlikely to produce a positive result.

I've had pretty much no problem on my ThinkPad. It always depends on how custom your setup is.
RISC-V is targeting embedded customized chips and research and does quite well in that area.

In that area sometimes having easier design is much more worth then putting certain optimizations into the ISA spec.

But from what _I_ know RSIC-V is neither targeting nor suited for general purpose computing, like general purpose servers, desktops and any phone/tablet but low end ones.

The reasons for this are manifold, including manny thinks I can't assess and thinks like that for such targets you like want a bunch of changes. Like e.g. requiring support of one load between a LR/SC pair which might be required to be based on the LR.

But then if it would have targeted general purpose computing platforms I believe it would have failed.

The fact that RISC-V allows extremely simple implementations is what makes it successful I guess.

So they just need to bring out a tweaked RISC-V spec which requires more ISA extensions, more support for LR/SC and similar and maybe does also some ISA changes and voila we it can move into that space, likely reusing a good amount of tooling.
I think technical people are fascinated by this zone because we like rules and thus anything that has a unique set of rules is interesting. The reality, though, is that legislation isn’t code, the Constitution is violated all the time, and most legal codes are more like suggestions.

While this sounds dystopian, it is probably actually preferable to a state that enforces all of its laws to the letter.
> A lot of the criticism of Wayland comes from uninformed jerks who want to trash the protocol over stuff that isn't a real problem, but there is also a bit of reflexive lashing out that comes from Wayland advocates. GP is just saying they can't switch to Wayland until the ecosystem around it matures. That's not an attack, you don't have to take it personally.

Only the first group is the problem, and I think noone is bothered by the second.

This kinda mirrors advice I would give my younger sibling when he was struggling to pick up programming, even though that is the direction he wanted his career to go.
He thought he needed to know everything and saw that as an impossible mountain to climb.
My advice to him was to find a small problem he cared about in the world or at home and develop a solution. When it's a problem you care about or want resolved, you are more invested and learning becomes fun. Then you can build on those skills with what ever you find to work on next.
This is not true. If you are never provided with the software then GNU wouldn't say you can access the source code.

So if someone says "I won't give you X software unless you pay Y dollars" that is fine

However if they do pay the expectation is they also get access to the source code if they're running the software on their own machine (depending on which license we're talking about of course)
I think you read way too much into my comment.
OT: I've wondered about faking old things, although nothing that old.

Suppose that in the early 1960s I had bought the same kind of printing press that was used by Marvel to print their comic books. Suppose also that I bought a large supply of the same paper they used, and the same ink, and the same staples. Suppose I had then carefully stored all this away.

Could I then, in 2020, print some copies of say Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962) (first appearance of Spider-Man) on my 60 year old paper with my 60 year old ink using my 60 year old printing press and staple them with my 60 year old staples, and get something I could successfully pass off as a remarkably well preserved mint 1962 comic?

Near mint copies of Amazing Fantasy #15 have sold for around $500k. If this worked, two or three of those, a few copies of Journey into Mystery #83 (1962) (first appearance of Thor, and has sold for around $200k), and some of the other Marvel books that introduced now icon Marvel heroes in the '60s (Fantastic Four #1 in 1961, The Incredible Hulk #1 in 1962), and that would be some pretty good money.

It's not an exclusive-or (exactly one is true), but rather an inclusive-or (at least one is true, potentially both).
I think we’re talking largely at cross purposes. It might be a good idea for maintainers of open source projects to listen to all feedback. However, nothing obliges them to do so, and you’re not entitled to be angry with them if they don’t.

If someone relies on a piece of open source software on the assumption that it will be maintained in perpetua for free, then they’re simply foolish, and they have only themselves to blame for any resulting harm.

> Not all humans are dispassionate rational agents

You seem to be forgetting that this applies just as much to the people who maintain open source projects. The endless negativity inevitably has an effect.

The disparity within AWS is the result of common inevitability that arises with managing technology built on over a decade of scaffolding. For sure there is a central planner within the company trying his best to put everything together into a cohesive whole. Technical debt is the most common name for this issue.

An "Architect" can't solve this problem anymore than an "Engineer" can fix the problem of technical debt because neither person can see the future. It's like pointing at everything wrong with a piece of technology and saying an "Architect" could've fixed that in hindsight.

"Architects" are not the solution to technical design and technical debt.

An engineering manager can place all engineers in a room and ask them to come up with an "architecture" that is the same if not better than anything a single "Architect" can come up with, and this "Architecture" will never solve the problem of technical debt for the same reason why we can't predict stock prices.
