I like this phrasing a lot. It’s easy to feel that iOS isn’t on your side when you can’t use a non-WebKit browser and can’t use an adblocker.
That's not subjective. When they merge code like that and then you disappear, they're now stuck budgeting time to maintain that API for years. They can't be expected to do that work when no maintainers care enough and no GNOME apps are even going to use that API (Status icons were removed from the GNOME HIG years ago)

If you don't want to go through the trouble of becoming a committed long-term GTK maintainer yourself just to get this in, why not maintain that particular feature as a separate library?
I'm skeptical that OSS actually provides that much free work for big companies. If you look at React for example, 25 out of the top 30 contributors are FB employees. The other 5 might have been as well, I just couldn't tell. If, for some reason, no one outside FB contributed to React, I doubt it would affect FB at all. The few commits that come externally would just be written in house.

I think looking at other corporate run project (VSCode, Kubernetes etc.) will tell a similar story: the vast majority of the code will be written by the employees of the company owning the project in the first place.

You could argue that companies are getting free bug reports, but users are probably reporting bugs because they find value in the tool, and would like it to be better, so it's hardly parasitic there either.
The thing that is missing is that your interests are not completely atomic and isolated. You share most of your important political interests with many other people, forming a class. Making politics democratic means you can collaborate with your class to find common freedom.

The near death of popular politics in America and its replacement with TV spectacle obscures this. Basically, your complaint is that your vote doesn't matter and that's a function of how deteriorated American democracy is, now best characterized as a plutocracy, that people think this way.
You can see the same thing in Russian and other slavic languages, for example, where you can use "-о" to convert an adjective into concept noun (of always neuter gender). For example, "добрый" (masculine adjective "good)" => "добро" (neuter noun "the good").

GSD Royal canine in my case. Nothing apparent comes to mind. It seems like a generic enough kibble. I don't like to change it since he has a surprisingly delicate stomach.
I do believe I understand the problem space well enough to comment on it - both AST analysis and frontend frameworks. My comment above also included a clarification that I was not suggesting that this be turned into a runtime call. Just presenting an entirely subjective viewpoint (of avoiding new language syntax), but one that many people share.
I think basically all of Intel and NVidias current offerings have hardware 265 decode. But AMD GPUs still only do h.264 (which might be a patent thing, or might just be that their target market doesn't really care. I know I don't, my gaming PC is plenty powerful to just software decode H.265 anyway, although the power efficiency gains would be nice)

The mobile market I have no idea about.

EDIT: I was wrong about AMD - see replies.
Tangentially related, but if you're curious, here's a photo of HMM Algeciras, the largest container ship in the world: https://www.easycargo3d.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/hmm-a...

Cross-compiling is frequently harder than compiling natively and you cannot run the build-time tests while compiling, so you will have less confidence in the results.

GTK 3 cannot currently be cross built due to some sort of dependency issue with Python, but random GTK apps can be cross-built just fine, and have been by Debian cross-build QA efforts:

Facebook’s Pitch to Congress: Section 230 for Me, but Not for Thee
>People don't use Linux because it is free (as in beer).

Plenty of Linux users I know do.

>People for whom cost is the primary concern can pirate Windows, buy cheap versions from online stores or install a legitimate version of Windows and never activate it(Microsoft makes it really easy these days). Heck already probably millions of people are using one of these options rather than installing Linux.

Not if they're programmers and prefer Unix. My experience with Linux users is different than yours. Yes, many of them end up caring about free software. Quite a few also have the "why pay for anything" attitude and pirate all their media, even when they could afford it. Sometimes these groups overlap. I don't think there's one single reason people come to Linux.

If people are willing to pay money for Linux, how come companies trying to support it haven't been successful? Would you pay $150 for a copy of a Linux distro? $200? How many of your Linux-using friends would? Would you be willing to do that every three years, like Windows?

The attitude I encounter frequently among Linux users is not just that they wouldn't pay but that they don't think money is a solution to the problems Linux has. So far, the most critical Linux development has been subsidized by proprietary software companies who use it for their infrastructure. Nobody's interested in supporting it for money because nobody wants to pay for it. The whole reason it's popular is because you don't have to. Linux would be nothing today if Linus had charged for it. There's no chicken and egg problem here. The egg is a community which doesn't value software in material terms.
As an also very liberal person, I'm mostly in favor of what we're calling "cancel culture," the broad weight of it \ I 100% believe to be a movement in the right direction.

That being said, there are people who are going too far, and this feels very much like that. I don't think people trying to oust RMS much appreciate the sheer weight of what they are up against, and that uphill fights like this are going to bring in "extremists" and just plain weirdos.

You're (at least at times) fighting literally the richest and most powerful people in the world, and only a tiny number of people even much understand what the whole thing is about, much less are on your side.

I'm a black person in tech, I'm well aware of both what it's like to have to deal with boorish powerful people, but I'm also close enough to older folks who've also been in real serious underdog type fights to understand that - you don't always get your choice of co-fighters when you're in the minority -- at the risk of being dramatic, it's darn near war.
This was true before the age of Trump and the ongoing internal war, highlighted by Bari Weiss and more, between the old guard and the new ideologues. I am most definitely not alone when I say the weight of their words have diminished greatly.
But one of the main reasons a floor on price is desired is to allow farmers to survive financially and therefore keep the country in control of its own food production.

> They had good relations with incumbent government due to the belt and road initiative.

The incumbent government of Myanmar WAS the military, just in a less overt fashion. They were the ones in charge of almost everything, the main change is now they don’t have a facade of democracy.
I think you’re illustrating one of redux’s real downfalls: it can be used to hold the entire state for your UI, even though it shouldn’t. All your complaints are solved when adhering to the official recommendations. Maybe you got into redux early or worked on a codebase that took things too far.

A global state object is one of the nicer features when dealing with redux.
I'm a Xoogler. I joined in late 2016 and quit January 2021. In my opinion, the company didn't change much in absolute terms while I was there. It became more secretive, but overall the experience was similar in 2017 and 2020. It was generally good given the alternatives - no major complaints that don't apply to other software companies. Good work-life balance and good compensation. Many great people under-leveled (but generally no underpaid).

Was it cool? That depends on what you value and who you're trying to impress. I didn't think the work I did was very fulfilling. At Google many problems are already solved, and the ones that remain often seem like small incremental improvements. There's a ton of uninteresting work, just like anywhere else. The difference is that when something is interesting, there are a lot of very qualified Googlers who will flock to it because they're not really needed on what they're doing. So you rarely get opportunities to own something much bigger than you're qualified for. At a smaller company those things can drop in your lap.

A lot of coolness is about perception, and I can definitely say that recruiters think it's cool. When I was at Google I would get a couple of LinkedIn messages each day. The effect still seems to linger.
Some of this is lima specific, so not really.
How can domination by nature be irrelevant to political philosophy? There's never been a famine in a liberal democracy. Compare to the Holodomor.

We can't "abstract" things that are immanent when we do political philosophy. If we do that we're chasing soap bubbles.
Do you have any evidence to support this conspiracy theory?

Have a read of "Built to Sell". I have no experience in this area, but found that book eye opening. One example: expect to have to work for the buyer for at least a year as part of the contract of sale, part of the payment is vested.
We really need to localize manufacturing of fabs. Even if the tech is making something closer to more primitive forms of computing from 30+ years ago. A lot can be done on those chips with well written software.

Unfortunately just trying to manufacture a transistor is extremely difficult and dangerous.

I wonder if there's something more accessible that could help localize circuit logic as a primitive building block of computation - one that isn't worried about being the fastest thing but the most accessible. If not targeted per individual then per a big neighborhood/small town.

Same here Mark. Thanks for putting these words so nicely. I have also stopped using commercial social network like Twitter. People do not even know that their brains are being manipulated. And people who had nothing to do with Free Software and have not even read or written anything about Free Software are making slanderous comments about FSF and the movement in general. Pretty disgusting and I don't know where the west society is heading to. I am glad I don't live in the west. But left liberals are taking similar paths in this country too, so I guess it is not too long before we catch up with the rest of the world.

May be this is the easiest thing people can do?

If a grabby alien civilisation spreads out, then would not the frontier going parts become alien to each other, due to the distances and time involved, which will lead to both divergent development and difficulties with communication.

Given this, would each of the expanding parts in the animation have to fragment?

If so, then how fragmented will each be?
"Zuckerberg’s proposal comes just before a congressional hearing that is ostensibly about the problems Facebook has created. These problems exist precisely because of Facebook’s dominance, anti-competitive behavior, and terrible privacy and content moderation practices. So in response to Facebook’s significant failures, Zuckerberg is telling Congress that Facebook is the solution. Congress should respond: Absolutely not."
I am not sure how your response saves me time.
Present Googler. Been here 7 years. As with all these things, this depends largely on what you are looking for. This comment applies to engineering exclusivelyq. A good number of teams and products at Google are very mature with large teams working on them. This leads to slow growth and obviously less challenging work on one hand. On the other hand, if you would like an easy job with time to focus on personal priorities, it makes this possible. A good number of these teams also consist of engineers who have hit a certain level of growth equilibrium which prevents other junior and newer engineers from growing beyond a certain level. In fact, such engineers are labelled the "rest and vest" engineers.

However, with a company this large, this is not generalizable to absolutely all teams. There are smaller teams building new products and working on interesting and challenging things. In case you are interested in Google, my advice would be to look for the right team and ask a lot of direct questions to understand the team dynamics and the actual day to day work. It might also be worth considering non-Google Alphabet companies as they tend to have newer things to work on.
Companies are like functions, and the input is labor. Some are hyper-optimized functions that multiply the labor a million-fold. Others are bloated functions with hideous time complexity, barely producing enough value to justify their existence.

But what they all share is an absolute reliance on labor. No labor in, no value out.

People care about their employees and co-workers; companies cannot.
Huh? No, I mean for a given bitrate. If I encode a video at 500kbps that is the bitrate. A video at 500kbps in h.265 should be the same visual quality as an h.264 at 1000kbps.

Filesize is literally how big the file is. Bitrate is how much data can be used over a window of time.
Not that this fundamentally changes your claim, but it's probably worth pointing out to someone reading that you can use an ad blocker on iOS.

This is part of a larger phenomenon sometimes referred to as The Coconut Effect. The name comes from the practice of using coconut shells to produce the sound of horses galloping, even when the sound would not make sense in real life (e.g. galloping on a dirt path).

Once audiences become accustomed to certain sound effects, however inaccurate, they come to expect those sounds. When audiences expect the fake sound, they might even think the film/show is inaccurate if it uses a different, more accurate sound for the same effect.

^ This is exactly what I started doing three years ago and love it. No more tiny rectangle screens stealing my attention; no more endless scrolling, notifications, tiny keyboards, or app stores; no more feeding the data monsters or being forced to upgrade when things fall out of support. Tons more time to think more deeply about things. Still very well connected via email, www, and VoIP, and I do have a work phone, but it's only used for work-related calls and SMS.
I'm sure a CCP elite spends very little time actually breathing the air in Beijing. Probably spending most of their time inside, and outdoor time spent outside the city like our elite in cities like NYC. They probably figure no matter what happens with climate change, their children and grandchildren will be rich and comfortable and immune to it all. They would probably be right in the end, too.
What would those sound like phonetically for those of us that can't read cryllic?
Does anybody who had time to read the whole thing have a concise summary? From the parts I skimmed it sounds like the author is annoyed by the politics of the FSF. I've heard this argument many times before and in my experience it usually comes from people who only have a superficial understanding of how the GPL actually works. Often this happens as a result of learning what the little they do know from their corporate legal team not from actual software engineers writing free software. "The GPL is politics and inherently incompatible with venture _capitalism_." The GPL puts users first. Good capitalism does that too.

On top of that, the only time I hear people actually complain about free software is if they're trying to incorporate it into their product and don't have the authority to make the business/product call to not worry about the secrecy of their source code (or don't want to). Essentially, they don't respect the license/ethos and just want to use other software for free not with user freedom in mind.

Here's why you use free software:

1. You are building a product where user freedom is important.
2. You don't want a large company to take your software and use their vast resources to pump out improvements and usurp your position in the market (AGPL).
3. You want to mutually benefit from others using your software in a more tangible way than "can I have money look I have github stars".
4. You want to assert your patent position and ensure that nobody can ever lock you out of your product by patenting a derivative work.

Here's when free software is annoying:

1. If you're trying to make money off commodity software (or talent).
2. If your lawyers aren't familiar with how the world writes software and insist that everything your engineers output is a trade secret and will bolster your software portfolio in the event of acquisition (don't work for these companies).

I've also commonly heard the myth that using the GPL slashes your company's value. In the instances where that's happened, the people who let it happen got taken, or they didn't do their diligence and let the GPL slip into their product when their whole strategy was keeping their source secret and then look like fools and direct their anger at the GPL.

Another thing people don't often realize is that as the original copyright holder, you have permission to dual license your work as you see fit. If you're say an enterprise company and trying to woo a big client and they just can't stomach the GPL, then you can choose to license it to them under terms they're willing to work with, if that makes sense for your business. Honestly I think this puts the company that owns the software in a pretty powerful position "oh you like our product but want special treatment, well that's going to cost some $$$".

If Free Software is dead you'd think the linux kernel would be dead, Signal would be dead, etc.
EDIT: I am incorrect, and was mis-remembering something I had read, in a completely backwards manner!

PREVIOUS (incorrect): You can buy them (the "Rocket Lake S" platform) beginning March 30th, I believe. One issue they are having with 10nm (though not intently a fatal one) is that it doesn't seem to achieve market-leading single-thread performance without being ridiculously power-inefficient. In lower-power environments, e.g. in laptops, the 10nm chips seem to be "fine", in that they are improvements over 14nm+++. They're still not market-leading, but they are an improvement and not at the cost of power (relative to previous generation).

> In the GPLv3 (and it was there in GPLv2 and v1) clauses 15 and 16 are the Disclaimer of Warranty and the Limitation of Liability. To be fair, proprietary software licenses have the same clauses, but the free-softers cannot claim the moral high ground here. These licenses assert that if the software causes any harm, the people who wrote it aren’t liable (limitation of liability).

This is an inane argument. Limiting your liability isn't some kind of moral evil. The potential for harm due to defects always exists, and if you provide a good or service to someone, you have to negotiate with that person who will accept the liability for it.

Generic software licenses limit liability because it's usually much cheaper for the end user to assume the liability as they have far greater knowledge of their practical risks.

A developer can absolutely make an agreement in which he takes on the liability. He's going to need to be paid to take that liability on, to both spend the time to eliminate defects, but also to purchase insurance so that he isn't bankrupted when a defect inevitably gets through and causes harm.
