But the key point of bootstrapping is that you have very low spend initially and you really only grow at the rate that your revenue allows you to plow capital back into the business. I agree with the parent poster, plowing tens of thousands into your business month after month isn't really bootstrapping, it's a VC size of 1.
I reckon part of it is that the US and other colonies were basically sandboxes where (pre-)capitalist ideas could be build from scratch and deeply enrgained in the collective mindset over time. In Europe it had to be established over a much larger population (or at least one were you have to hold back to a degree with supression) and capitalism faced much more competition and backslash from the people right from the start and resulted in more of a batchwork of different ideas.

At least anecdotally, when I talk to an average European vs US American, what e.g. their views about what restrictions for businesses are acceptable or even desirable, I get very different answers.
I bet that at -O3 it definitely does not generate the code you expect, and the same C code when compiled with a C++ compiler will generate even better machine code.

In my opinion, I don't think its a valid point. The main skill of a developer is problem solving, whether its business logic or code related problems like structure, integrations of different layers etc.

If you can code in a notepad, good for you, but if an IDE or something like VSC or Sublime increase your productivity then that's more valuable then remembering the exact names of methods or imports
>There was plenty of cancel culture against blacks and there was also A LOT of violence used against them when the black protested against it and against their treatment.

Would you characterize the violence used against minorities as ancient history or would you say it is still very relevant? Companies, like counties have the burden of their history to bare.

I would hope that Microsoft has changed but I for one would not trust them. Nor would I trust any other large company, they all have their own motives that sometimes align with Open Source but they can also change their stance. Notably Google has made moves to close source Android(2016, not sure how it played out)(https://fossbytes.com/google-making-closed-source-android-pr...)
Honest question for someone who is not a web developer: why not use Next.js?
American's idea that their country is a bastion of due process is really a fallacy.

America regularly assassinates people it finds unsavoury without any consideration for due process whatsoever.
If you go to the OBS Installation page [1], they list a number of repositories for various distros. They seem to maintain their own for Ubuntu, which appears to contain the latest version and the repository for openSUSE Tumbleweed does as well, although it does not appear to be maintained by the OBS Project.

If you refer to the features described here, they might not be in any release yet and you might need to build from source.

This sounds very plausible, but I haven't heard this before. Do you have a reference? I'm genuinely curious- not calling you out, so to speak.
> What does a time system have to with system start infrastructure?

Accurate time is vital for many cryptographic operations. For example, in the embedded space you may want to have a check that your current disk image (ideally checked by dm-verity) is actually up to date. And to verify the metadata signing that disk image using Uptane/TUF/SUIT or similar protocols you need verifiable time. Or you might need to contact a provisioning server at boot time, and need to be able to verify that server's TLS cert.

(Now, systemd used to have a bug[1] where time-sync.target would be reached before time was actually synced, and Poettering's response to the bug was the all-too-typical typical "yeah, don't worry about it, it's intended behaviour that the time-sync target doesn't mean that time is synced"[2]. But that did get fixed a couple years ago [3].)

This is borderline “a difference without a distinction”. NASA and the military have a very cozy relationship. NASA was partially a solution to a political problem. Sure astronauts are on “detached duty” but I doubt the astronauts would agree they are not military people. This flight of all truly “civilians” does seem different. It is meaningful.
The Sharp X68000
"Here is the first of a great family. It is the successor of the Sharp X1 family, shipped with a unique square screen monitor, fist in a grey case, then in black.

Instead of using the Zilog Z80, it uses a powerful Motorola MC 68000. This computer (and all its family) has great features (look at the emulator), it was more powerful than the other 68000 computers at this time (Atari ST or Amiga 500) : more colors or more hardware sprites, hardware scrolling, genlocking, perspective or playfields (up to 16) .

Unfortunately, it was never marketed outside Japan where it was and still is very very popular ! Too bad, I'm sure it would have a great success !! A very great range of games were developed for the X680x0 serie and the best arcade conversions were done on this computer.

It runs under Human 68K, an operating system which looks like CP/M 68 or MSDOS and uses a graphic user interface called VS.

Notice that the development is still active on that computer, several OSes have been ported on the X68000, the most famous are Minix and Unix NetBSD and all the GNU tools and there are some projects under development : XNeptune (a Ethernet card) or Ko-Windows (a 'NextStep-like' graphic environment).

It was followed by the X68000 Ace and Ace HD."

My opinion is that they shouldn't care and in fact have no basis to complain. I consider it "work for hire", and they are being paid handsomely for their work. Do we developers complain when, if we work for Apple, that Apple takes credit for our work?
The value of any currency is in that, that you can get material stuff in exchange. The biggie historically used to be to be able pay the taxes, today getting extra heaps of atoms delivered to your doorstep does the job too.

I took a compilers class around the dragon book. I think the valid criticism is the sequence of the book. An undergraduate compiler class can only cover perhaps half the book.

IMHO, the number of students that would benefit from learning about AST transformation and code gen vastly outnumbers the folks that would benefit from learning about finite automata transformation (and I took a dedicated course in that).

There simply aren’t that many folks working on regex engines.
> ~99% of Linux users and administrators have never seen a digital tape drive

I would question this assertion. Some of us have been doing this a while, you know.

> Do we really need

Probably not.

> no benefit

Benefits include being able to use the same dictionary across the whole archive, being able to leverage multiple improvements in multiple outside compression programs, backwards compatibility going back decades, and the ability to use a tool that's standard not just on Linux but BSD, macOS, Solaris, and any POSIX compliant system.

> ultimate idiosyncrasy of of Linux

Are you certain that's not systemd? Or the way ptys are handled? Or its sound and video systems? Or the /proc file system? Or devd? Maybe the multiple families of different incompatible package managers? I mean tar isn't originally from Linux or even GNU. It sure beat shar files.

If you want your files inside your archive compressed before being added to the file, you can do that too with tar, but other tools do it for you. You're absolutely free to use those other tools.

> his good parts can't be imitated

Without dropping acid at work at least, but that seems to be frowned upon these days.
Fair enough. Not trying to make this a debate about CP2077 - I'm just pointing out that game bugs can have massive consequences for the platform owner and not just the game developer/publisher and that handling such consequences can be expensive. In other words, the originally mentioned $40k per patch might seem excessive, but can definitely be justified in cases where popular games break due to bugs. Imagine if CP2077 had been rendered unusable by a patch instead!
Why does Google or Microsoft pay coders to write software. Their work is nothing without the big company bringing it all together and the brand?

Are you saying that the song writers should give their work away for free?

The credit is tied to the method the song writers use to be paid for their work. This is coupled to pay. When an artist puts their name on the song lyrics they are taking pay from the people who wrote the lyrics.

One part of me is a huge proponent of learning, but the other part of me is learning (lol) that a huge part of earning involves figuring out what you already know or have invested energy/time/cost into learning, and finding ways to create value for others from it. This was a nice way of doing that, and this posts squeezes the extra value from that experience by sharing insights on going viral.

In no way am I saying the only reason for learning is business—there's plenty of intrinsic value. But all that learning has to subsidized with something...

From a business perspective, there's a good chance there's more than a handful of earning opportunities right under each of our very noses every day. The key is to find the ones that align with our strengths, personalities, skillsets, etc...

I haven't read a lot about that issue but if I understand correctly a malicious actor had write access to the repo, and yes signing tags could have prevented this push to be problematic (I don't know if they're signing content or not). It's always good to check signatures especially when we have the tools to do that automatically

As a huge fan of blackpink I highly recommend you check out the documentary they have on Netflix. It became obvious after watching it that the genius behind blackpink is Teddy Park, who was also behind another massively successful girl group 2NE1.

I've thought about it slightly and without Teddy Park there is no blackpink, but without the individual members each bringing their own flavour to the group, there is no blackpink either.

If you're familiar with the concept art industry, this is essentially just character design but with living people.

Versioned Records – Storing Variable Attributes in a Version Table
> I've pressed for details, and I've seen others do the same, but it never ends in anything concrete—just an implicit appeal to the new conventional wisdom that they do more harm than good.

Really? Merits of the criticism aside (I don't know anything about compilers, so I'm not capable of judging), the received wisdom seems to be that the Dragon book spends far too much time on parsing and not enough time on other, more important aspects of modern compiler development.

See, for instance, this blog post by a professor about teaching a compilers course: http://danghica.blogspot.com/2020/04/teaching-compilers.html.

Or this blog post (and the one it links in the first paragraph): https://semantic-domain.blogspot.com/2020/02/thought-experim....
Yes OK, but the comparison interesting to me is how much did medicine help. If people lived to their 80 in those ancient times, just with some diet, then medicine is surely not giving us much of a longer live span today.

I think the complaint is that they aren't being paid "adequately", but without actual numbers it's hard to tell. I suspect few of them are making SV developer salaries.

> What does a time system have to with system start infrastructure? If you want to write a time daemon, write a time daemon: the chrony folks did, and it's pretty good. Lots of folks have switch away from the old school NTPd to it.

Nothing, but you're making the common mistake of thinking that systemd is an init system. It isn't. It's a suite of components that more or less can be enabled independently, that no-one's forcing anyone to use. One of these components is an init. Another one in a time sync daemon, etc. etc.

Chrony's great, but if you don't need most of its pretty advanced features, why bother? A simpler, smaller, 'good enough' client might be more suitable.

Stripe needs to look at legal action, if she thinks just because she's a politician she can violate an EULA then we have an obligation has citizens to make sure nobody is above the law.

I personally hate it when politicians break the law so it was disturbing to me she would be open about pressuring them to work for her against their own agreements.
> Censorship circumvention

In some countries, censorship circumvention usually require sophistication that not all VPNs provide. A few like getoutline.com, getlantern.io, and psiphon.ca specialize in that.

In most countries, VPNs aren't even needed to circumvent censorship. Apps like getintra.org, GreenTunnel employ simpler techniques to bypass firewalls.

> Routing traffic over untrusted home/office ISP

With TLS v1.3 and DoH / DoT, I think VPNs may no longer be required if "hiding traffic" is the only need. Hiding IPs, however; (of both the client's from the server and the server's from the ISP) would continue to require the use of VPNs.
I was an avid Sublime Text user for versions 2 and 3. The speed and responsiveness kept me coming back.

Then over time computers for faster, VSCode got more efficient, and plug-in developers started paying less attention to Sublime Text because we all assumed development had stopped.

I started using VSCode because I needed a specific plugin that wasn’t available in Sublime Text. From there I got comfortable with VSCode and slowly stopped using Sublime Text. I think an active plug-in ecosystem and IDE-like features are necessary for text editors to stay relevant in 2021. Sublime Text’s long development hiatus may have stalled that process. Hopefully they can spring back.

I don't remember all the details but as a long time listener to Scriptnotes (if the industry of screenwriting for Hollywood interests you highly recommended) it gets pretty complicated. First people get paid for the initial draft. Then they can get paid for rewrites (many contracts come with provisions to give the writer some number of drafts back and forth with the studio/director). Sometimes these can be negotiated into yet more drafts if things are close and the studio is happy with the writer.

More commonly, at some point a different writer is brought in to update it, sometimes heavy rewrites, sometimes just tweaks. Once it gets filmed, the writer's guild has a process of arbitration to determine who gets credit, based on roughly who is believed to have contributed the most original material. The person or persons who are considered the primary creators get residuals based on % of money made (actual money made not the Hollywood accounting bullshit).
The entire point is that they’re not being paid handsomely, they’re being taken advantage of. Did you even read past the headline?
Too much abstraction, and not enough diversity. How many exercises could you make around looking the network tab on a browser?
With the approach based on sockets, they have to implement the http protocol ( or a subset of it), synchronize the client and server, and if you have a multithreaded server, you get to implement connection keep alive and things like that. The depth you go is much much different!
Who would pay $1 for getting a chuckle out of a meme? Also 50 million views is not 50 million visitors. If he had a normal ad monetization channel in place, he should have easily been able to garnish a minimum of a 10 cent CPM and walked away with at least $5k from his 15 minutes of fame. The problem is that learning as you go makes it a little too late to monetize the peak. There are companies whose entire business is in pumping out viral sites like this. Some explode for a a little while and others never make a penny. You can bet your butt that in the hands of someone who does this professionally these 50 million views would have been thousands and thousands of dollars.
I suspect 0.01% is highly optimistic, especially for a meme-related site that's essentially a drive-by laugh for most people.

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on this project on and off for quite a while. In my experience, it can be tedious to find a game of Dungeons & Dragons if you don’t have an existing network of friends who play it. You have to trawl various LFG forums which is time consuming and tedious. So I built Roleplayful to help automate that away. Users are able to do a detailed search (location, game, play style, and more), save the search, and then receive automatic email notifications when new matches appear for their search. Feedback welcomed and appreciated.

> Except with the monoculture of systemd how can experiments be done with other approaches? Nowadays it seems like "use systemd or GTFO".

Is that much different from let's say databases, where "One True Way" was SQL and despite that NoSQL became a thing and is appropriate for some use-cases?

> And how many file systems does the Linux support?

And yet ext4 appears to be the most widespread though. It's true that there are other options such as XFS, ZFS and BTRFS but in general, ext4 is a safe default that works well enough for most use cases unless you have specific reasons to choose otherwise.

Is it that far-fetched to believe that systemd might be the same, and it works "well enough" to be the default and even be bankrolled by some big names?

> How does another approach towards OOM [...] get traction

Presumably the systemd OOM killer can be disabled and something else put in its place if you so desire, just like you can still build or use a distro without systemd or selectively disabling its "bad" parts such as the journal, etc?
