Who would risk stability? And what is the issue with forking? ffmpeg/libav, openssl/libressl managed fine. No fork is the symptom.
Because it is 'not quite a microkernel'. For instance, many things that would be processes in a real microkernel are built-ins in Minix. Which makes them impossible to replace at runtime, nor can the kernel function without them. I get it, these are hard problems to solve especially when bootstrapping but it saddled Minix with a bunch of heritage that it has not been able to shake.

Posix compliance on the one side and running a true microkernel on the other is a hard problem, and after all the real goal of Minix was not to 'be the best microkernel' but to simply provide an OS for study purposes to students at VU and other universities.

If you want to see what an ideal microkernel looks like take a look at the QnX architecture, that's much closer.

Are you trying to tell me that I should ignore 9 months of discussing this, writing down "specifics" and them assigning me to work that clearly wouldn't lead me to a promotion as per themselves?
Problem is that most people don't listen and turned off their brain. Look at this thread. They rather believe some random experts and news outlets calling some random dudes with random degrees experts because they have themselves no clue, never lead always followed others. What do we expect?
No, you gave a fully theoretical thought experiment, that attempts to play with emotions (oh no, not just an employee that can't be paid, but an intern, a poor student that cannot feed his family after, because that... wait non that's not what interns do) and tried to spin it as an ethical argument.

The New Deal political coalition was shattered in 1968 and we've had neoliberal politics since then which are indifferent to economic inequality. Inequality has unsurprisingly gone up.

Blaming it on magic paper vs gold money to the exclusion of everything else seems like a red herring.

Does it actually address the source of the problem though? Illiquidity is caused by people hoarding wealth and not circulating it in the economy. Printing money gets more cash in the system but does not free up the hoarded wealth which is still locked up in assets that can remain unproductive. This seems like a temporary patch. If you take your example where there is not enough cash to pay a plumber, the cash is amassed in the accounts of a small number of people that are unable to generate enough work to keep all of the plumbers employed. You print more money to fix the supply problem but this immediately generates another; who gets the new cash first? We give it to institutions that will lend it so that we can reuse the existing system to vet people worthy of loans. So the credit worthy get access to new money and maybe they use it to do new construction or renovations that require plumbers. The plumbers, and others, now have income again. Problem solved? Well no, what about the original wealth that was hoarded? If it was kept as dollars it’s now depreciating but it’s likely that as soon as that started happening it would have been converted into another form that would retain its value. There are a limited set of assets that retain their value in face of inflation so we would see circulation in that part of the economy up until all of the original wealth had been converted into a stable form. It would still be driven by a small number of people though so the impact would be limited. What happens if you don’t continue to print money? I would think it would eventually find its way into one of these asset traps where it would then remain and we’d wind up right back at the start. So keep pumping new money in? But now it no longer affects the original wealth since that has been converted into other forms so the original problem will remain unsolved and you’ll need to keep the tap on forever so you don’t run out of money.

A better solution in my mind would have been to directly force the original wealth back into the system.

That's entirely dependent on the economic situation. The same question can be asked of interest rates.

And the answer is when you get bad outcomes. You have to assume the Fed knows what it is doing, but most people seem to think they know better.
Equality means things are measurably the same.

4 = 4

If one team wins the Super Bowl, and one team loses the Super Bowl, then those teams are not equal; that is not equality. But if the game was contested fairly, with no cheating or corruption, then the outcome is equitable, even though it’s not equal.

In the U.S. what we generally strive for is equality as an input and equity as an output. If you hire two people, each should have an equal chance of contributing to the business, i.e. neither should be inhibited by irrelevant factors. But it’s expected and ok if one contributes more and advances farther. If it’s based on a fair measurement of their performance, that unequal outcome will still be equitable.

That’s why you’ll often see folks talk about “equality of opportunity.” Not equality in general; equality as an input.
Your stat shows that (i) Myanmar's citizens were not unarmed and (ii) privately owned firearms were more widespread in 2007 when the country had been under the control of an autocratic military junta for decades than in 2017 when it appeared to be transitioning to semi-democracy. Myanmar is certainly not well functioning, but it is also certainly not an example of effective gun controls, or an example of widespread private firearm ownership preventing autocratic regimes from doing what they like.
I'd upvote you if I could... I think maybe one has to be old enough (I'm GenX) to see how this 'wokeness' is in part a cover story for some sort of authoritarianism coming from the left. i.e. the "Soviet Union" is not merely history to me, unlike millennials.

Is all this in reaction to - or in conjunction with - the growing authoritarianism coming from the right? I don't know. I am in all in favor of examining how America has failed Blacks, Native Americans, the working class left in the dust by uber-capitalism (aka Ronald Reagan and all that BS) etc, but what is going on now is becoming problematic aka a mindless ideology.

If you pair this with [0], then it seems the Elites [motivated by power, social dominance, etc] have figured out how to leverage entirely valid ways of looking at the world, but not the only ways created by the Gentry into mechanisms / an ideology with which to control society and those in lower social classes. Sounds much like China's Cultural Revolution... Having the Elites of a society be in thrall to any sort of ideology is a bad idea and so having all these students of elite super-upper class schools on the way to the Ivy League being turned into mindless robots will end up badly.

Of course, America is the Greatest Country in History (tm) and so having some sort of American fascism hit at the same time as some sort of Cultural Revolution is to be expected

>Is your argument that the ethnic conflict and genocide in several former Yugoslav republics in the 1990s was caused by an education system indoctrinating people with anti-racist attitudes?

It didn't start off that way. They never do. They start off, almost always, as "fighting for the underdog or oppressed".

After time, that goes "viral" and gets lots of broad support from the people as it is very reasonable and eventually becomes the main, acceptable, opinion of society (this is where we are getting now with various "wokenesses" and "hatenesses").

After that, other opinions and points of view are added to the original positions. Then, dissidents to any of those points of view are ostracized, and eventually it becomes illegal or quasi-illegal to hold different opinions or say certain things or act certain ways. In fact, people that do are considered "enemies of the state" or just "enemies". And it goes downhill from there.

This is how you can go from a worker's support group, or a minority protection group, and eventually turn into people getting their heads cut off for political reasons, put in to work camps, or straight up tortured or burned to death in the streets.

It really doesn't make any sense how it goes from something so reasonable to something so unreasonable, but it has happened over, and over again in nearly every part of the world. South America, Europe, Africa, Asia. And it almost always happens the same way.

And there are signs of it are happening here.

That is what they are eluding to. And the worst part is that once it gets going, it doesn't take long.

The argument is that legal guns increase gun deaths but reduce other types of crime, either by substitution (e.g. reducing knife crime) or by deterrence (e.g. reducing home burglaries).

That claim has its own burden of proof that it needs to meet before it can be accepted, but looking at other countries and saying "More guns means more shootings" isn't addressing the actual argument.

I’m asserting they are apt comparisons.

> Comparing across generations is not valid as times and perceptions and social values change.

No need to look across generations. There are plenty of prohibitions to choose from today. Like automatic rifles and opium.

> I’m claiming that the drug trade and drug smuggling are not apt comparisons the illegal gun manufacturing and smuggling.

I’m going to hazard a guess that you don’t come from a gun culture.

Otherwise law abiding citizens smoke weed. Likewise they source fully automatic mods for their rifles and hoard bump stocks.

And these are just hobbyists.

Add in the game theory incentives of organized crime and their already established distribution channels (the same distribution channels they’re using to move drugs). I don’t understand how it isn’t close to apples-apples.

As a person who literally works on the Airtable API for a living, and founded an Airtable-based startup, I knew this was coming. Airtable deserves to be replaced by a good open-source alternative, for the way they've treated their customers. They built a great product that people love, and then made the pricing inaccessible to small business, ignored the API for years (I've been developing on top of the API since 2015, barely any improvements since then), piled on shit that no one asked for (Apps/Blocks) instead of working on the API that everyone asked for, made certain essential features like the metadata API invite-only, and are generally self-centered and obnoxious in their messaging (just see their blog post describing the launch of Airtable Blocks/Apps - "A half billion apps are about to be created.") Yes, those half-billion apps on top of Airtable will be made, but not on the original Airtable platform, because they've closed their software down and made interoperability a pain, and hid basic features like apps and record colouring behind a paywall. Meanwhile, they don't know how to build an app that can handle more than 50,000 rows and there are feature-request threads that are literally years old. LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS, dammit.

Airtable could've easily been the next Excel if they had just not been so tight-fisted, protective, greedy and aloof. There are plenty ways to monetize such a great product if they had just allowed people to use it. I have a feeling like their leadership was inspired by Steve Jobs, but they blindly applied Apple-esque walled garden philosophies to a domain where it makes no sense, because no one can actually use a cloud product without a proper API (operating systems are a different story).

I complain even though my life literally depends on Airtable. Shameless plug: I'm the founder of Fintable.io, a bootstrapped startup that syncs your bank accounts to Airtable, and I have no other source of income. I love Airtable, but I'm just sick and tired of their shitty castrated API that can't even stay up reliably. Maybe this is the trigger that will cause somebody over there to wake up, because it isn't too late for Airtable to win at this game (and I hope they do).
I really like both the Julia and R communities, so always glad to see good interoperability between them!

Companies growing gross profits more slowly than the tech market comp is growing will shrink tech market headcount in the long-run. It seems entirely inevitable that if someone else has a use for an engineer that allows them to pay $X while your use only allows you to pay $0.85X, and that difference is enduring and increasing, that you won’t have much tech talent in the medium term.

The market for tech wages is the market. You might get a couple years of loyalty or inertia out of current employees, but if you don’t (whether won’t or can’t), pay compensation needed to land too talent, you won’t have it.

Yep, the Ethereum Classic crowd made the same mistake in the context of the DAO "hack".

DAO: Code is law, code is law, trust the code over any natural language document that describes our smartcontracts.

"Hacker": Okay, if the smartcontract says that, then it follows that I'm entitled to these ETH if I do this...

DAO: What? No! That's not fair! That's not what we meant! Oh, come on, do-over!

ETH Classic: No? That defeats the entire purpose of Ethereum, for code to be law.

DAO: Not when it comes at the cost of significant wealth for the core team!
What overhead are you worried about?
The GP is mistaken in assuming that rent is excluded from the CPI, however mortgages and other costs of home ownership are not considered consumption and are therefore excluded. This is the first item of the FAQ in the document that you linked.

As a matter of fact, home ownership has become a highly speculative play for the ordinary wage earner and this is largely due to asset price inflation as a result of low-interest rate policies (worldwide, not just the US).

>> Ultimately, printing money doesn't make anyone more productive or produce anything.

That statement is easily refuted by running it backwards: say reducing the amount of money in circulation via a huge once-off tax would thus have no impact on productivity which of course is silly.

if drinking water is good, isnt drowning even better?

Creation of money either by expansion of private debt or governments running a current account deficit have always had the effect of goosing GDP figures. The 'free money' the central bank is creating is merely nominally swapping out the value of private-debts for equivalent nominal government debts. The money-creation is the net difference between the two and not equivalent to a blanket cheque.
Frozen sardines can be found in the US although not nearly as commonly as other fish. I've seen fresh sardines in Whole Foods but very rarely.
That’s wrong. The current theories may not have the right answers but it is a real system in the physical world so there is a “correct answer” or description of how it works. It’s subject to change but that only changes the description as well.
I have this problem with long lists of tasks.

One think that has helped me is that each night, I make a list for the next day. And I pick only one important thing.

Just plan one task. Not lots.

The next day I try to focus on that one thing. I fail almost every day and I write the stuff I didn’t plan to do but did. Sometimes that’s just unforeseen stuff that must be done. But it’s usually just me getting sidetracked.

I write it on an index card so I’m not tempted to try to analyze the tasks over time. And it’s kind of neat now to see the stack of index cards.
One example: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-32...
To the degree that printing money by reducing interest rates and perhaps causing a bit of inflation, it basically punishes hoarding of cash by taxing it at the inflation rate (plus the opportunity cost of having near zero nominal return in savings accounts). So that does force the original wealth into circulation. But it’s true that the Fed’s monetary stimulus is likely to be less effective at providing liquidity to individuals than direct fiscal stimulus like the stimulus checks people are getting. (Although it’s not all stimulating because many are using the money to pay off debts.)

Yeah the reality is that the size of the cake changes, and slicing the cake in different ways can feed back to the growth of the cake.

The perceived value of each slice relies a lot in the psychology of the public.

It's the job of the central bank to make sure the slices are proportioned properly and the perceived value of each slice of cake is maintained.

Wait, did I miss the application for this or something?

>and you put your money in Gold/USD/EUR/GBP/AnythingMoreStable or property.

Unless it's illegal.

> if the inflation has accelerated the disposable amount of your salary increases in real terms since your loan payments remain the same most of the time.

So you have a choice: 1. Take a leap of faith your income will get adjusted to real inflation numbers and take a loan hoping it will get eaten by inflation, at the same time increasing the debt pressure on your income and your psyche. 2. Not taking a loan so having no instrument to even partly negate the effect of inflation and having no adequate alternative instruments to loans/mortgages to save the value of your income.
