Linux dominates in the server space [1]:

* In 2021, 100% of the world’s top 500 supercomputers run on Linux.

* Out of the top 25 websites in the world, only 2 aren’t using Linux.

* 96.3% of the world’s top 1 million servers run on Linux.

* 90% of all cloud infrastructure operates on Linux and practically all the best cloud hosts use it.

Although you are correct its windows desktop competitor has a low market share, there has been some shift towards Linux derivates such as Chromebooks that captured 10% market share in Q4 2020 and 5.3% in 2020 overall [2]

As an asthma sufferer, I went from needing my rescue inhaler several times a day to not touching it for several months during the pandemic. The only thing that changed was I was biking and walking through empty streets compared to navigating through a sea of exhausts for most of my trips.

Infrastructure that doesn’t encourage driving everywhere, and a switch to EV’s in cases where you ‘just have to’, can’t come soon enough.
That's not really a counterpoint though. It is kind of bad for the world that FAANG++ and for example most of the movie industry is centered in US (west coast)?

Also with tensions rising there it is not good if 80% of the chips are being made in a war zone. And bad for everyone but China if China takes control of Taiwan.

I don't think any of these are value statements?

a great way to do this is to create a joint venture which the government owns but the private company operates/develops.

The government can later sell the stake to a private party to balance out the books.

Occasionally I think about the tradeoff between municipal purchases that support the community (with expanding degrees of community) or which are the best for the task. Prior to EVs, for example, should parking enforcement be performed in a Prius to maximize long term TCO or should it use a GM/Ford/Dodge and keep money in the US.

At least in the US we've found that major global competitors control relatively critical roles in production of goods in the medical space. Who is responsible for quantifying the risk of being cut off from components?
It's hard enough to WFH as it is (pandemic aside). I was surprised how rare and competitive fully-remote work was when I was looking for a job two years ago, especially once you try to be even a little selective in the work you'll be doing.

Making it more unpalatable to companies just removes the option entirely and we're stuck with the status quo.

I value my time so much that I've taken decreased pay to work fully remotely without Zoom meetings. Freedom is part of my compensation and not something you can buy retroactively.

Trying to squeeze some bonus fees from employers for a little justice boner does nothing for me.

Import substitution is usually a loser policy for developing nations. Also subsidies can frequently run afoul of trade agreements because they're basically the same as a tariff in terms of disadvantaging exporters.

National security is not really a valid concern but could maybe be used to justify divestment from China. But that just means diversification of import partners. We could be building fabs in Mexico like we do with the auto industry. Or, as he's actually suggesting, europe.

Not at all. It is a computer, of course it beats humans at optimization problems and speed. Not remotely surprising or interesting, any more than a calculator doing arithmetic faster than a human.
Just curious. If someone were to start today, with today's computing power and knowledge of computers, how long would it take?

My question was answered by the CEO of reddit (well, I didn't ask him, but he answered it) in a post just 15 minutes ago:
"As of today, the employee in question is no longer employed by Reddit. We built a relationship with her first as a mod and then through her contractor work on RPAN. We did not adequately vet her background before formally hiring he"

It's exactly as I thought. They thought they had a good employee and failed to vet with due diligence.

But, in their response, they absolutely failed to convince anybody: by banning a bunch of people for posting things that are in mainstream external media. Even if it doxxes your employee, once it's in the mainstream, you can't control it.
I do get the arguments that you're making here about Svelte, and don't disagree. That said, "Modern Redux" code is very different than what you've probably seen even just a couple years ago. We've introduced newer APIs like Redux Toolkit, which is a set of utilities that provide a light abstraction to simplify the most common Redux tasks, and the React-Redux hooks API, which is generally easier to use than the traditional connect API.

If you get a chance, I strongly recommend reading through the newly rewritten official tutorials in the Redux docs, which have been specifically designed to show both how Redux works and show our recommended practices:

- "Redux Essentials" tutorial [0]: teaches "how to use Redux, the right way", by building a real-world app using Redux Toolkit

- "Redux Fundamentals" tutorial [1]: teaches "how Redux works, from the bottom up", by showing how to write Redux code by hand and why standard usage patterns exist, and how Redux Toolkit simplifies those patterns

The older patterns shown in almost all other tutorials on the internet are still valid, but not how we recommend writing Redux code today.

You should also read through the Redux "Style Guide" docs page [2], which explains our recommended patterns and best practices. Following those will result in better and more maintainable Redux apps.

Finally, we've got an upcoming "RTK Query" API that we're finalizing and adding to Redux Toolkit (inspired by tools like React Query and Apollo) , which should drastically simplify the data fetching story for Redux apps.

I think the English-speaking world kind of has a target on its back in terms of cybersecurity because everyone who can use a computer (a slight exaggeration) has some knowledge of English, but not everyone has knowledge of Farsi or Korean or Icelandic or whatever. So if just about any hacker comes across a vulnerability in your English-language system, they'll recognize it. Meanwhile, if I stumbled upon a link that gave me unauthorized access to a Hungarian-language system, I'd have no idea.
They don't have to do 10 and 7 on the way to 5, right? I assume they can just skip some of the work, especially if the newer process is totally different anyway.
Many things, over many years. The free software community was deeply unhappy with him for a long while. Here's a subset:

The immediate pressure for him to resign was a media firestorm over his Epstein comments, but that wouldn't have done anything had he not already lost the support of the free software community by then.

(BTW, the answer to why it's so hard: every single reply giving you an answer has been downvoted, and the only reply that's staying up is the one that implies people want to be vague. I've been getting downvoted for providing actual answers often enough that HN blocks me for commenting for a bit. So if you are having trouble finding answers, remember the reason is censorship.)
EUV is hard, but isn't part of the reason why only ASML can make those machines because of the CRADA they have with DOE as a member of the EUV LLC? I believe this agreement was why ASML wasn't allowed to sell their solution to China recently. I bet Intel will have no trouble buying EUV to bring in-house - especially if that serves US strategic interests.
No. That is not correct.

Someone posted an article discussing some issues around women's issues specifically apropos The Green party. Actually a good article.

The article mentioned Aimee Challenor's name and the scandal around their deputy leadership bid.

This happened to be posted to reddit. It was removed by admin and the poster (a mod) banned. No one knew why.

Only when reddit made a statement to mods did it become clear that was the reason.
I just wonder why nobody thought to Google her name between the 9th March (when "extra protections" were first put in place) and now.

Don't get me started. My state (Oregon) has announced that the next wave of vaccinations will go to agriculture and food processing workers. I get why those industries are super important to protect from a supply chain standpoint, but it also seems insane to me that people in those specific positions get special treatment while workers in retail, restaurants, etc--who interact closely with potentially hundreds of human beings daily--won't get the vaccine until it's generally available to everyone. And if you're, say, a single food service worker in the city, it's not like you can afford to just choose not to go back to work.

>biology obviously can't fully explain gender as in gender roles

Biology also doesn't explain the racial roles American society used to have when it was segregated, but race is still biological and no amount of growing up around the conditions which are stareotyped as belonging to a certain race or speaking in the dialect a certain race speaks or feeling that you truly are of a certain race actually makes you of that race.
> 'On March 9th, we added extra protections for this employee, including actioning content that mentioned the employee’s name or shared personal information on third-party sites, which we reserve for serious cases of harassment and doxxing.'

So they didn't vet them but knew to protect their identity at all costs?
I've not had experience of anything like the scale of Costco before or in food, but what I know of retail is that margins are typically double the cost price. Where would such a low figure come from?

That's a bullshit guess.

I'm optimistic that self-driving cars (in addition to primarily being electric) will be better maintained (tire pressure, lubrication, etc.) and better driven (fewer hard stops and starts) and that will reduce tire, brake, and road wear.

> anti-trafficing [sic] is usually used to try to criminalize their work

I understand you have anecdotes from 2 women which describe non-coerced criminalized sex work, which is not sex trafficking.

My information comes from decades of global, publicly available and verified data. Sex trafficking is a real thing, and you delegitimize its victims when you say otherwise.

As a very liberal person, I have to say that I am disgusted by cancel culture. Disgusted.

This is so harmful to society, and is a dark path that the left has taken in my country. To put it plainly, my political party has turned into whinny little people.

People should lose their jobs over things like sexual or any type of harassment but when I read Stallman's actual comments last year, I thought that it was very clear that he was only defending his friend, who was dead and couldn't defend himself.

EDIT: for what it is worth, I just uninstalled Firefox.

You might want to check the historical record, there.

There have been a bunch of government collapses and insurrections in China over the last few hundred years, featuring an occasional Chinese Jesus (seriously) or sometimes mystical wushu boxers (also seriously). They all killed 10s of millions, some of them close to 100m.

> I understand I'm using complete spyware

What makes you say that? There is relatively little phoning home in MacOS
Sure, most apps still follow the client x server architecture. To properly take advantage of edge computing, one needs to rearchitect current applications, and microservices is one example of how to do it.

The point of edge computing is exactly to incentivize facilities/companies to not keep data on premises, or at least to ship some data (i.e. non sensitive) out of it. It doesn’t scale the way most companies need it to.

Latency is key for some important applications like self-driving cars and industrial automation, not really to make some queries in GraphQL..
> Having extra dependencies for the tests

What do you mean, extra dependencies? The only difference between pytest and unittest in this regard is that tests using unittest declare their dependency explicitly, using an import[0]. Most pytest tests still implicitly require pytest as a dependency, though. (Think of fixtures etc. etc.)

I actually like unittest's approach here – in my book, explicit is better than implicit.

>The article references sexual harassment, the commenters care about market share.

Alleged sexual harassment. Granted I don't know the whole story, but it doesn't seem like there has been anything more than accusations. I don't think its right to fire someone based on heresay. Once he is proven to have crossed the lines, then I'm all for holding him accountable. Until then, I think people should keep the pitchfork in the shed.

Also I'm not defending his commentary, but people are entitled to their own opinions.

I liked the second part of Seveneves, but the first bit felt really depressing, and more than a bit unrealistic.

There have traditionally been cycles and we all win.

I remember years back when AMD became competitive with intel and then intel turned around and came out with fast cpus, and we had all kinds of choices.

I think the PC is a really good thing we don't want to lose it. When we have competition it is better for customers with more choices, and employees who actually have to compete, and there are standard interfaces new companies can develop for.

Honestly, what I worry about is Apple and their spiral into themselves and their closed ecosystem.

I think Apple was at their best when the adopted the PC architecture and interoperability made everything better.
> businesses do not try to cut the pay of remote workers

Until businesses provide free transport to work and pay employees for their commute time I'd say it's reasonable to offer lower pay for remote work than on-premise work. This doesn't have to involve cutting pay but could rather take the form of a commuting subsidy or an on-premise bonus. The lack of a commute is a real tangible benefit and should be included in any compensation package.
When the pendulum swings the other way on cancel culture, we will miss the old days of subtlety and taking things in context.

I have been very curious about clojure. What do you feel is the most attractive part about it?
The first paragraph of that Wikipedia article affirms my opinion:

> The correlation between IQ scores and grades is about .50. This means that the explained variance is 25%. Achieving good grades depends on many factors other than IQ, such as "persistence, interest in school, and willingness to study" (p. 81).

While that paragraph specifically mentions school grades instead a more narrow subset of certain specific tests the point still stands as affirmed by the APA. The numbers you quoted from the third paragraph allow are only about 80% aligned. That is a tiny bit better than half between perfection and a random guess.

The unfortunate reality is that performance on those tests is primarily a direct correlation of time and money spent on preparation specifically for those tests. A major differentiator between those standardized tests and many general IQ tests is centrality versus assessment distribution. You wouldn't for example test creativity with a multiple choice question with only one correct answer the same for everybody.

Look, most people who are from a higher income population want to believe that standardized tests are a fair reflection of intelligence, because with enough practice and preparation they can score higher and thus believe they are more intelligent than the population at large. If the population at large spent less effort preparing for the test then its value as a tool of performance compared to other people is less valid. That is selection bias.

I mostly agree, but still laugh a little when people purchase cars to be "green" in a location where most of the electricity comes from coal. Without an EV they never wouldn't have been able to find a car that runs on coal.

This is ableist nonsense.

First, nobody is ostracizing Stallman for being socially awkward. He is being ostracized for sexual harassment.

Second, neurodiversity and social awkwardness don't excuse you being an asshole, from being a bully, or from being a danger. I think most people, whether neurodiverse or not, understand that.

Finally, does he have an autism diagnosis? Just like with the recent tragic Atlanta shooting, we as a society have to stop excusing monsters by inventing autism diagnoses for them. The responsible thing to do, if Stallman were autistic, would be to seek treatment for autism. Entirely separately, like every person, he needs to learn to not sexually harass women.
