Right, tough to convey more of the true story and character of Turing in a 2 hr film. But my takeaways were a few memorable things like the moment of pure achievement/problem solving joy that any engineer/dev around here can relate to - collective joy at cracking a puzzle. I felt it.

And the pain that Turing had later in the film/in his life - I felt that too. Cumberbatch's weird self, and the overbearing lone/nerd vibe they gave Turing aside, they tried to convey the pain and sadness and I think it was portrayed enough for the audience to feel it and sympathize.

Could be argued that the film contributed to this path that he's now going to be on the banknote perhaps?

It's not quite how it sounds. There are a number of Carrier Alliances worldwide - "2M", "THE Alliance" and "Ocean Alliance". And there are a number of container carriers that operate independently without an alliance.

Since around 2008 it has been very difficult for ocean carriers of all types (not just containers) to turn a profit and so they all embarked on different strategies to try to become more efficient and manage costs. Before the Alliances, large ocean carriers needed to have an active and full network worldwide to attract customers. It's kind of like the transit problem: you don't get customers until you have a large network, but you can't afford a large network until you have a lot of customers. So many carriers operated routes that were loss leaders hoping to profit significantly off their mainline trades (you see the same in air travel).

The Alliances were one strategy to try to help these businesses become more efficient while still offering customers door-to-door shipping services, so in THE Alliance, there are a number of carriers each with different primary focuses, which means that they can operate much more efficient routes and take cargo wherever it needs to go.

The price of shipping a container is highly commoditized, there's intense competition in the market, and the margins are razor-thin, so I'm fairly confident that price-fixing isn't a significant factor in this industry. As well, as a shipper, the lions share of your costs getting a container from A to B are not the ocean transportation but everything else. Container storage at the port. Transport to the port. Loading and discharging costs. A multitude of fees that easily double or triple the raw container shipment number. Carriers have invested a lot in this space over the past years to verticalise and able to offer more of these services to their customers, instead of just being a pure ocean carrier. That (freight forwarding) is where the real margins are, and customers appreciate it because they get one simple upfront price, vendor management is easy, etc.

I've used Emacs for almost 5 years now and it has served me well. In the beginning it was frustrating and confusing, but now that I understand it, it's the way I naturally interact with code on my computer. The fact that so many gnu tools have movement similar to Emacs means that I can quickly become more effective in them. The fact that my work Macbook allows me to do some rudimentary movement with C-a, C-e, C-f, C-n brings me joy.

Emacs rewards me for learning it better, and when I think about what it does, and is capable of doing, I'm just in awe. I highly recommend reading Mastering Emacs if you would like to become a more effective Emacs user.

After using it for years I can say my single biggest gripe with Emacs is its performance. Elisp is powerful but slow, and has many warts. The developments with GccEmacs excites me, and there is still GuileMacs. As a more experienced user Emacs frustrates me because at times I demand too much of it. And when that happens, I try to temper that frustration with the understanding that the program is 36 years and 5 days old to the day, and has outlived many other pieces of software. Computers looked different in 85 than they did today, and the fact that I have saved truly days of programming time due how effective it makes me cannot be overlooked.

I want Emacs to continue to improve. I want it to get even better than it already is, but I am so grateful for the people who have made it what it is today.

I think the issue is more that calculator apps are one of the last strongholds of skeuomorphism. Why does almost every calculator app have a keypad, even those for non-touch OSes?

For a refreshingly modern take on calculator apps, take a look at something like Soulver/Numi/Calca which use a notebook-style interface, or SpeedCrunch which uses a REPL-style interface (and which does have a keypad, but you can turn it off).

If the idea of a calculator app just seems ugly to your brain, PowerShell does floating-point math and is scriptable to boot. I've used it as a calculator in the past, though it means having to put up with some wonky syntax.

The problem with attacking Stallman on a lie then saying "Yeah, but there was other legitimate stuff too" is that the initial misrepresentation demonstrates bad faith - which casts doubt on later insinuations.

If there is stuff that Stallman legitimately has to answer for, so be it, but in the context of kicking him while down, Gish-gallop style, this is pure justification after the fact.
I started doing the "walking around" bit after negative feedback ~20 years ago, and stopped again pretty soon after it was clear that while it works, it's a band-aid for getting people confident that it's ok to talk to you whenever, and the real problem was that I'd been pretty burnt out and shut myself off for a while, not that I didn't literally walk the room.

With remote teams what I've done as a workaround with some teams have been to enforce a short 1-on-1 weekly, and tell people if we don't have anything to talk about, then we make it brief. It prevents team members who are reticent about taking your time from having issues build up because they feel it's too small or too personal to schedule a meeting about when they have a time slot they know you'll schedule regardless. For some it was almost always a 5 minute annoyance of me asking if there were any issues, them saying they had nothing to talk about, and for us to leave it at that. But it acted as a safety valve, and every now and again something absolutely critical would get brought up in those calls.

And many times when they had "nothing" to talk about, I'd ask them followup questions about small stuff like e.g. how they got on with specific people, or how a certain project was going, and suddenly it turned out they had plenty of things to talk about.

In teams where you know everyone will speak up, you can dial back both the actual and "virtual" walking of the room, knowing they'll come and tell you, but "walking the room" effectively acts as a way of lowering the barrier to bring up an issue, because they're not "bothering you".
I am aware of them, but it wasn't mentioned in the letter this is a response to. I feel those comments were also a little bit more nuanced than some people have taken them. I've seen people describe him as a "paedophile apologist" and "rape apologist", which like some of the other terms like "transphobia" etc. also seem to be a few steps too far.
> Why would objectivist care about climate change which will have effect in 100 years, but requires them to sacrifice something today?

Because one of the selfish personal goals of an individual is the thriving of their progeny. Heinlein defined love as the state in which another person's happiness is essential to one's own. Thus one can be utterly selfish during a single minded pursuit of another's happiness, because your own happiness depends on it.

It is typical of our species to sacrifice your own body's needs to achieve the intensely personal goal of making your childrens' lives better. This can be interpreted as a form of selflessness, but I see it as Randian selfishness, where the self is an extended phenotype that can encompass multiple organisms.

In this sense, altruism is about sacrificing to help others that you do not love.

Yes, imagining what I was saying it would be mandatory if your company was making a profit while using software that agreed to this.

The difference would be if you're setting up a blog to share your permaculture posts, you wouldn't need to pay, or something like that.

I don't know what else to call it.

When the President of the United States goes on TV to effectively say: "Danger! Danger! We are Shutting down travel from China". Well, politicians ought to stop, think, call the White House, understand why such a drastic move was made and then fall in line and support the effort rather than fight it.

There is no doubt at all that telling people in NY to continue using the subways, go to festivals, etc. caused the virus to spread exponentially.

NY officials were on TV saying things like "we are ready for this", "we are prepared", "this is just like the flu", "we know how to treat this", etc. None of those things are true. They pulled that stuff out of their collective asses. The Trump administration went five standard deviations in the direction of caution and while the entire Democratic party (in particular NY) and the news media went five standard deviations in the direction of ignorant bullshit.

Look, it's clear that Trump made a mess of his public handling of this event which, rightly so, cost him the election. In public, he was a mess. Being under constant attack from his opponents and having to deal with a rabid media out for blood every second of every day sure didn't help.

Behind the scenes, it's hard to find anything they did wrong. In fact, the actual handling of this pandemic behind the scenes was an outstanding achievement and it should go down in history as such. That team gave us vaccines in eight months. They saved millions of lives around the world.

Due process for calling someone to resign is deciding that you personally feel they should resign, and saying so.

If you don't see a difference between the things called "cancel culture" and the mob rule with violence, that's not because they're not different. It might be because you're uncritically accepting the lies people tell because they don't like any kind of accountability at all for their actions.

This is why we have US Senators on TV and publishing articles in major newspapers about how they're being silenced because a company decided not to work with them on something. You don't see these posts from the people who actually got silenced, because they were actually silenced. But if you believe someone who is using multiple media channels with international distribution to tell you that they are being silenced without recourse, that's sorta on you. You can do better than that.
There are multiple factors going into the decision to get the vaccine or not, but "If you think you need it and are below 40, you don't understand the risks." is patently false. A large reason to get the vaccine is to massively lower your chance of giving it to someone else, family member or stranger, who might not be as prepared to fight it as you are. There's also a significant population under 40 with risk factors like heart conditions, asthma, and obesity. Additionally, I've heard there's some evidence that even if you are younger and recover, it might do longer term damage, though we'll see how that plays out. At least seems extremely likely to me that the vaccine is safer than the virus, and I'd be interested in how you came to the opposite conclusion.

As a late 20s man with asthma and vulnerable family members, I jumped at the chance get the vaccine.

And if politicians had acted effectively, would zero people have died? We're talking about a mostly invisible natural killer. It's going to kill people, regardless of who does what. Influenza has killed thousands every year since the dawn of time, but we don't blame anyone for it.
I used to be neutral to even opposed to many tenants of the free software movement.

But the more I'm involved in supply chain risk management discussions, especially around software and observe the continuing breaches such as Solar Winds, the more I am coming to the realization that the only way to reasonably validate your operating environment is having access to and the ability to evaluate the source code for the software you rely on - and the best evaluation is being able to build, from source and then compare that build to your current production environment.

At one time entering a password to log into your computer was considered a ridiculous requirement that only the biggest businesses could justify, full disk encryption was exotic, hard to manage and had huge performance penalties yet now desktop OS's make it trivial and accessible to even non-technical users. I think source/build validation will one day become commonplace and considered the norm too.

It will probably take longer given the whole philosophy behind closed sourced software, intellectual property, etc. but I think it's inevitable. If instead of Solar Winds the same parties were able to penetrate Microsoft, Apple or Google....
Thanks for the suggestion! One feature that is somewhat close to this is the "Fork" feature that lets you clone an existing theme that is already within the hub. Another thing which I want to implement in the future is the ability to fork ANY VS Code theme that is on the marketplace... so E.g. if you like "Material Theme" you can instantly 1-click clone it into the theme studio.

> If I’m paying for it, it’s not open source.

Open source and free are two separate things.

There are many projects out there that require a license for commercial use of the software because it's an attempt to make the project more sustainable.

Don't be surprised if more and more projects go down this route. The current model of giving corporations big freebies to make lots of money off of, and then often getting no financial or developer support for that, isn't sustainable and there's a massive burnout problem because of that. Times are good now, but just wait until a few things in your core infrastructure don't get patched or worse, they get archived, because the maintainer is tired of spending evenings fixing your problems for free.
> The build system is also confusing but I guess that's partly just because it's a really complicated thing to do.

> Still, beats doing it all by hand!

Still a pain to maintain, tweak and update your Rust project and cargo configs with your C++ code alongside a third party crate maintained by one person in the project. D lang is probably the only language that has this built into into the language.

I'd rather go for a first party library with this support or C++ interop support built into the language like D.

You asked "where did you find Andy mentioning anything about a new kind of ideological purity?"

I answered with a line where he specifically demands the FSF get rid of people "perceived" as misogynist. I.e. apply a modern gender issue ideological purity test.

Now you have claimed this is a defense of abusers. That is an equivocation, an intellectually dishonest rhetorical tactic. The discussion up to this point was about perceptions of misogyny, which is not the same thing as abuse.

> In situations where two camps ostensibly agree on mission but disagree on execution, why don't we just have two organizations?

That's usually the eventual result if the disagreement can't be resolved, but usually seen as suboptimal by both sides, since both would prefer one organization pursuing the shared goal by the optimum approach.
I was bit by this yesterday. I had a 32 array, but the implementations only went up to 31 (with 0, so 32 in total). Found that quite amusing. 1 day away, 1 array element away.

32 seems so normal that it made me question why the default was 33, to include 0-32, but whatever heh. Glad to see this!

Yeah OP certainly is pushing an ideological agenda, but although "don't be misogynist" is certainly an ideology, it does seem pretty related to the FSF being an effective force in the modern world. If women don't participate or contribute, the FSF _won't_ be effective (or at least, much less effective than it could be).

From the FSF website: "The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a nonprofit with a worldwide mission to promote computer user freedom. We defend the rights of all software users."

I don't see "make sure RMS feels important and in charge" anywhere in the mission, but I do see "the rights of all software users" in there. Maybe the FSF hasn't noticed women using computers yet?
