Super Expensive = Holding all the risk of one time events hurting your financials.

Less Expensive = Building that into your monthly cost of doing business and spreading it out over a long period.

If you are a small company with young people you will see a cost reduction, if you are a big company with mostly older people you might see a cost increase. But, both companies would lower their financial risk, keep their female employees (stats on how many stay out of workforce post birth is huge - check the google study), and pffer a perk that attracts the young talented workforce they need.

Sure insurance is good for high risk situations, but it also perfect for when you need to spread risk over an entire population so that the financial impact of an individual event is lessened on the individual and company involved.

Health care is a perfect example, everyone pays in as a member of society, and if you get sick you are covered. Of course this is totally broken in the USA, as here health care is just a discount card. But elsewhere that isn't the case. You spread the risk over the entire population so that if someone gets sick they can just focus on getting better so they can start paying taxes again. Where as in the USA we do our best to destroy their finances, their family, their mental health, and so on.

Maternity/Paternity could be run privately in the USA until the government takes it over using the same method. You reduce the impact on individuals and individual companies by spreading the cost over the entire workforce taking part in the pool.

Would that reduce the costs for the company? Yes, and maybe more importantly it takes the risk out of the equation and smooths out your risk.

For example:

If you have a company with 25 people and 2 people are out on paternity/maternity, that is a big financial impact to cover yourself. If instead you have paid into paternity/maternity insurance, that could help you by covering 50% of their salary, or even 200% depending on the plan which allows you to hire consultants over that period to cover their work if need be.

Insurance can also be about smoothing out your risk profile and lessening any flook one time financial hits.

Maternity/Paternity Insurance can be run as a public collective, especially in something like this where you keep back office efficient (given the low threshold for fraud with how you could legally protect yourself and only deal with companies) and you have a capped profit margin of say 5% on premiums collected each year.
Perfessor – Continuous Profiling Without Instrumentation
The entire VPN industry is really shady. Their marketing is entirely based on creating literal FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) and sell their service as the perfect and cheap solution. The presence they have on youtube ads and other mainstream platform ads is really disturbing.
But it throws compatibility with devices that don't support your client out the window. Like I might want to have an entire VLAN on my home network route all traffic through the VPN which would happen through my router. But my router only supports common VPN protocols like IPSec, OpenVPN, and WireGuard.

Sure, I could make it work with a separate Linux server running your app and some routing but that's far more work than most other VPN providers.

I'm fine with warnings in your UI about connections with these protocols being "less secure" like how Zoom handles E2E with phones.

Correct. Instagram is hiding “true” like counts for everyone but the poster. So, if 2500 people like a post, it’ll just say “Liked by ${RANDOMUSER} and thousands of others”. The full list of people who liked is still available to everyone, just not the exact number (without manual counting (again, unless you’re the poster)).
Hi, thanks for the response. I'm a big fan of Mullvad's approach to creating a VPN, and I'm hopeful that more companies will follow in your path. I've been using your service for a few months now, and I'm really satisfied with it.

I should perhaps have been clearer when I referred to generic VPN clients, I was talking about the original WireGuard implementation by Jason Donenfeld, not just some random software, which I would hope you agree is a (sufficiently) secure implementation when used by technically proficient users? I do appreciate that there are reasons for having a specific client for your service, and it is absolutely necessary for those who are new to VPN apps, but I would hope you appreciate the reasons for providing implementation-agnostic WireGuard/OpenVPN config files, since your own service does so?

Regardless, thanks again for the work you're doing in this sector, and best of luck for the future.
Imagine that you wanted to advocate against deplatforming, specifically by suggesting better ways to accomplish common laudable goals. However, you can’t argue directly against deplatforming, as this instantly labels you a Trump supporter (and might get you deplatformed). So what could you do?

I am not claiming any secret knowledge about what Mozilla was or is thinking, but what they wrote can certainly also be interpreted in this light, too.

Yes, I know. :) And that would probably be the level of quality of any code I tried to write. :)
It's a joke this time...:thinking: - but how do the engineers feel....
Math has many formalisms. Some more useful than others, in certain contexts. All restricted by the norms of communication that they are written in.

So, yes, there are some math formalities for processes. No, they probably don't help in finding new processes as much as you'd think. Despite being quite good at understanding existing processes through formal exploration.

I think he's just playing around/being cheeky with all this stuff, so I don't think it was ever meant to stand up to robust scrutiny :>
Well, in my view this was actually a very fitting nail for the hammer he had.
There are text editors and there are IDEs, and each has its place. Sublime Text is, to me, the best GUI text editor around.

(For those with the patience to master them, Vim or Emacs may be both objectively and subjectively better. But I've never had that patience. Emacs has a hell of a steep learning curve.)

You can't knock Sublime for not having the features of an IDE, because that's not what it is. If we keep pushing for Sublime to be as "full featured" as an IDE, we're gonna kill what makes it great.

VSC seems to be trying to be both, and by all appearances, those who like it, like it a lot. I'm not in that group, but I admit that there may be something(s) outstanding about it that I just haven't yet appreciated.
This isn't true. Many signatories of the anti-Stallman letter are known, smooth careerists who have been climbing the OSS corporate ladder for the last decade.

The don't care about the actual issues at all, otherwise they'd sign anti-Clinton and anti-Gates letters.

Which they won't, because their careers would suffer.
even with art, an NFT doesn't confer copyright rights, so you don't even own the art.

> a way for the artist to generate artificial scarcity

The art isn't stored on-chain, so it's not scarce either.

All the NFT is is a pointer that has some text about who created it and what it points to. Not sure why why that pointer itself is valuable except as a status of "i am the only one that owns this unique pointer".

Of course there's nothing stopping anyone from creating another pointer that points to the same thing as the one you just bought and selling that.

So unless you find some value in pointers, intrinsically in themselves, NFT's are useless.
>Free software has always been a moral movement; it's those who promote proprietary software that are morally bankrupt.

Ah, so those employed by proprietary software inherently promote it? You lack a grasp of those within the free software movement, then.

>Being against proprietary software is pro-freedom, and nothing I'm saying is ahistorical. You're pretty clearly conflating the open source movement (based around profiteering and not caring about freedom) with the free software movement (has always been about morality).

Again, you're inventing purity tests because you've never contributed to the movement and you clearly lack an understanding of the movement's history. The GNU Manifesto and Debian Social Contract are in direct contradiction to your purity test, and the former explicitly discusses the subject at hand.

My advice is to read more of the source documents about the movement or contribute to it before creating revisionist and anti-freedom purity tests.
In this case the writers are talking about "publishing" rights which are distinct and separate from the sound recording (I believe those are called the "master" rights).

----

Copyright is split into two main sections: copyright in the song (known as publishing rights) and copyright in the sound recording (known as master rights). The publisher only deals with the publishing right, which is the songwriting side and includes the music and lyrics.

Traditionally, a record label will own the master right, which is basically the right to use a particular recording of that song, but if you’re a self-releasing artist or producer then you will most likely own this right yourself.

Performing artists can also collect performance royalties, but I think am/fm radio is excluded from this and I don't know how much it is in comparison to songwriter royalties.
For context: This doesn’t matter.

Also it’s a shame that there is no code to the rest (like backend) of this System.

I am totally fine judging something even for minor things when it was paid by tax money and it holds sensible data.
Yeah, in a way you are right.

Ok, let me put it this way: Math is not formal. But, formality has its advantages, so what I would like to see is a framework that, while being formal, still allows formulating ideas just as a mathematician would. Kind of like envisioned here: https://www.practal.com

There have been a ton of "replace ads with microtransactions" products over the years. Brave exists today. Are you using them consistently?
To put a bit more nuance (or perhaps just spin) on it, the problem is not VC itself. VC can play a vital role in supporting innovation. Unfortunately, what it does far more often is let a bunch of marketing/financial dorks with strong connections to the money pipeline enter a young market and obliterate all of the actual innovators. It's not only innovation that gets lost, but diversity as well.

Case in point: continuous data protection. If you were around ca. 2004 you might have heard of this. Like backup, only to any second in the past. Nowadays we might say git for your entire storage system. Anyway, I was a fairly early employee at one of the original companies in the space. It was our marketing VP who coined the term. We worked really hard to promote the idea, and often collaborated with our competitors in that (much like Asana in this story).

Of course, that initial spirit of shared mission eventually disappeared. At that point, VC-backed and BigCo competitors were all spinning up their own products, backed by many times the engineering and (even more importantly) marketing budgets. They didn't actually win head to head, because they didn't actually have any products, but they totally froze the market. Storage is a hard market for a startup in the best of times, and these weren't the best of times, so that company ended up in a fire sale to Veritas/Symantec. End of story. It's pretty unremarkable in itself, except that I could tell almost the same story about half of the other startups I worked at.

None of this is necessarily bad. Just "creative destruction" and all that. In the end good ideas do get implemented and benefit users and make someone a lot of money. Unfortunately, those people are rarely the ones who innovated. When it happens over and over and over throughout the industry, it starts to seem like VCs are setting up incentives to be a copier (at best) rather than an innovator, and I'm not sure that's healthy in the long term.
I learnt the basics of Lua in a "few" days but realistically it took a week. Good enough to start being able to think-in-lua and using it to solve random problems without constantly referring to "how to loop through a list" or other basics. A week later I started embedding it.

... as well as using it for work... which was actually the entire point of the exercise. Ironically I had enough within two weeks to fulfil work requirements.

Accelerators:
pick a bunch of simple projects. Do them and complete them. eg how do I do basic calculations? what does a loop look like? How to sort this file? How to read this CSV and output a formatted JSON? How do I write a snake game? How do I use a sqlite3 database? How to serve HTML? etc.

Specific projects drive your learning of the basics. If I can't play my game of snake then I've missed something. That file isn't sorted yet. etc etc. Specific and measurable. see also: SMART goals.

The issue with this project approach is they won't necessarily give you all the language exposure you will need in the long term. So don't neglect the tutorials if you go the project route. Another thing: the project route can slow you down in some circumstances depending on the peculiarities of the language. Some languages are just painful or assume a lot in terms of libraries and frameworks. Often there's a significant learning curve that is really more about the frameworks and ecosystem rather than the language itself. You'll need to learn the peculiarities of each language's ecosystem.

I've found the "cut-and-paste" approach to projects is NOT the best way for me. I need to write and think about the code in the language I'm learning. YMMV.
I bounced back and forth for the longest time... ST3 was way more performant on my 2 core, 8MB desktop.

Then I upgraded to 16 core 3700 amd with 64MB Ram...

Electron apps don't leave a dent in my performance anymore, so it's a non-issue and vscode has a lot bigger community, support, plugins, etc...

Really, I don't think any other thing out there can compare except maybe vim/emacs but the learning curve to make it useful takes awhile and I keep giving up on that.

No, I don't speak as if I have expertise. I speak as someone who has been alive to experience various diseases that started from animals.

I'm not being arrogant, and I don't understand your attitude. You are making an absolutely extraordinary claim. This absolutely requires extraordinary proof.

Again, I would be really excited to read about any proof you have of your claims. Please link to something, I would appreciate it.

I dont see the slippery slope. You're way over reading into 'some'.

Some simply means, some people need to believe in something, and others dont. You cant thing this is an all or nothing position?

And the leap to conclusion with: "implication that they're too dumb to figure out a path for themselves". I've not said or implied that anywhere, nor do I see that is a obvious implication. Taking this step is creating offence where there was none.

And then concluding this could mean these people need to be brainwashed to believe the preferred format. That's a leap on a leap that had nothing to do with what I said, and pulling a worst case scenario into some semblance of the conclusion to focus on.

And not trying to have a go at you, but I do this you've over read on a work and made fallacious leaps in logic flow to a worse case. We can do that with any scenario. I cant see why it has any significant reason to be the focus point based on the previous comment, so I dont see why this is slippery slope as maybe it could happen but there is no direction from previous to align those events.

But that's me, and some people will agree, and some wont :)
Sublime is so, so good, no qualifications or buts about it. Startup is instant and the typing latency feels incredibly fast. Very thankful that it’s still being developed.
First, if you haven't worked in a large "non-tech" enterprise, you might be surprised to find out it's just 100 startups with a common name and financing. The bigger the company, the less technical cohesion across teams. It's a blessing and a curse. I'm technically in a "business unit" as opposed to IT, so we're more focused on tangible KPIs. When you turn around innovative results in the biz domain consistently, no one really questions your tooling.

We started a new space Data Eng/ Data Sci and then it became critical. We've been able to maintain products by building long term platforms/systems that meet current and (anticipated) future needs in clojure. Initially, product and platform/system was all the same team. We've grown a little and now individuals tend to focus more on one or the other, but we're still <15 eng and shipping daily.

We maintain everything we've built to date, and we planned for that going in. Clojure's other superpower is that it is stable AF over long periods of time, handles refactors and testing well.

As for signoff in adopting clojure... our VP is old hat in clojure/lisp. We got lucky.
It seems to be very good for creating mediocre products and/or toxic products with a high social cost.

Because it's a meta-market. You don't win by providing a quality product/service, you win by persuading VCs and investors to give you money - which is a completely different game.

You "win" as long as that continues. The product/service itself is just a shop front that gets investor money through the door.
The "only one"? It doesn't matter if other people might do the right thing, if he doesn't, he shouldn't hold the position.

If someone reads this, it makes them think they won't be taken seriously when they come forward if they are abused. That both makes them less likely to do so if they are abused, and less likely to even start engaging with the community.

If they do come forward, Stallman has indicated he may not take them seriously. Given that he's arguing about this with others in leadership positions, even more than that he might pressure others to do so as well.

Everyone in one of those positions should be taking such an allegation seriously, and if they don't, they shouldn't hold that position.
"Profitable" ads may sell products or services, or as in Wikipedia's case, solicit donations that make up half its revenue.
That may be true for the init system replacement part. But I think asking (for example) "why is systemd killing things I started with nohup and also my tmux sessions?" or "why does systemd need to replace ntpd?" are valid questions.
Your position is totally reasonable, but I would argue that ST is better off with a smaller feature set and a robust plugin ecosystem. The last thing I would want to see is for ST to become the Microsoft Word of text editors, i.e. a million built-in features, of which you might only use 5%.

Addendum: It dawns on me that building the Microsoft Word of anything is probably not a bad goal, considering it's the dominant word processor. It's not what I would want in a text editor, but it may very well be what most people want most of the time.
This is essentially the business model of open source companies. Free is a very hazy concept, and there's money in providing clarity.
Thanks, it’s loading for me now.
Hey, sorry that I didn't really try to explain the bindings. Climb_stealth said it all really but here are some extra bits.

The first one is a normal mode binding (the n in nnoremap). yiw copies the word you are currently on (without surrounding spaces), and then <C-r>" pastes that into the :Rg command. The :Rg command is part of the fzf vim plugin and it is a wrapper around ripgrep (see the link from climb_stealth), which gives you fuzzy search over the results of a ripgrep search.

There is more detail on the <C-r>" command here:

https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Paste_registers_in_search_or_col....

It's basically just how you paste the contents of registers into commands.

The second one is almost exactly the same except that it is a visual mode mapping (the v in vnoremap). If you highlight something with visual mode, then use that command, it will search for the highlighted text using ripgrep.

<C-Space> is just the key chord that the command is bound to. It is a pretty arbitrary personal choice, I find it a very quick and easy chord combination but you can put whatever you want in there. For example, <C-S> would activate the command when you pressed the chord 'control + s'.

There is quite a good list of keys that are unused by vim here:

https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Unused_keys

You can pick whatever you want but I prefer not to override any of the default bindings.

Hope that helps!
The operating system sizes everything according to the equivalent of devicePixelRatio, not font size. Device manufacturers choose this value according to screen size and pixel density. It is reasonably predictable. The em-size however could be anything.

If your intent is to drive the layout with font size, using units such as "em" does the exact opposite of what you want: you're simply adding another unpredictable factor into your size calculations.

Using "px" for responsive design works just fine. What exactly is the advantage of "em" in this regard?

In my experience, "Intellisense" is shorthand for "broken autocompletion"

I don't use Microsoft IDEs often, but have had experience with them many times over the past 15 years. And every single time, intellisense would freeze, get confused, or just stop working completely. Not once in 15 years have I had a passable experience with it, so nowadays when I'm in Microsoft land I always immediately disable intellisense before I start working.
Yes, the distinctive pronouns help in reducing ambiguity. However some people are taking offense at the insufficiency of gender specification and asking us to add more pronouns to remedy the insult. It might be simpler if we didn't need a gendered pronoun to avoid offense, especially if the distinction is irrelevant in the context.

This unfortunately has been a long used tactic in the music world. In the old times it was sharpie producers putting their names as writers for songs of poor black artists, so they (the producers) can get royalties in addition to their usual fees. Now it is the singers taking advantage of the songwriters and composers.

It is all evil but it kind of shows who has the negotiation leverage. Todays pop music scene is all about creating a celebrity image consumers want to identify with. Once said image is created the actual music is not that important. So the writers do not get much credit.
