>Janitors had better living conditions 50 years ago than $150k earners do today

Utter bullshit.

>$150k is not even enough to buy a small home near your workplace in a lot of cities

Live within your means for 5 years, invest the 70k/y excess money into index funds.

You can live of dividends anywhere in the world that isn't a capital in a first world country. Without even losing money.

Literally the 1% pretending to be poor and living in worse conditions that janitors 50 years ago. Yeah, right.
Not at all. If your opinions are correct, and yet they hurt someone, do you need to apologise? Or maybe you think that it's impossible for a correct or reasonable opinion to hurt others? Because in that case I have tons of counterexamples.

A lot of people were offended by the theory that man descended from apes. Do you think Darwin should have apologised?
> one thing that bothers me in the context of cancel culture is that it seems people put the equal sign between the work/art someone produces and their ideas outside of that area.

It often depends on what that outside work is; if RMS was a bad soundcloud rapper, I couldn't care less, it's inconsequential. If he was a known puppy puncher (which he isn't), I'd care a lot more, because that matters so much to me that I don't want to even remotely support anyone like that.

But in this case the complaints aren't "outside of that area", they're directly related to his role as a leader of the free software movement. His harassment of people directly hurts other people in the movement and people who potentially could join and help out. His musings on pedophilia are not simply unacceptable, they directly lead to people dismissing the movement because they fear joining a movement that abides such opinions. That they are both is part of what makes him unfit.

> all the [brilliant] work you are doing should go to waste

I believe that the opportunity cost of keeping someone like RMS in a leadership position is higher than the accomplishments he achieves by that position. It's not simply a "cancellation" for some abstract moral reason, it's that he is _not worth it_ compared to what could have been achieved with the people he pushed away.

OpenDistro for ES is the surrounding tools for ES => plugins, index-state-management, basically a suite clone of ES Enterprise offerings (X-pack) because AWS can't ship AWS ES with X-Pack.

OpenSearch is the ES (core) itself.

r/Covid19 is a good resource. It filters out news articles and political topics, only allowing scientific papers, press releases, etc. There's a lot of users there in virology, epidemiology, medicine, etc. Its by far been the most valuable source in keeping me grounded regarding the information surrounding the pandemic.
I thought this was kinda the point by comparing it to NFTs. NFTs can be trivially devalued if you derive the value from that attributed to it by the author of whatever it references.

It's probably even truer for NFTs as often the NFT itself merely represents a JSON payload which itself references URLs managed by a third party and trusted to continue referencing the original work. Once that third party goes away, the reference chain breaks. The value is not only reliant on everyone agreeing that the third party "owns" (whatever this might mean) the "work" (whatever that might be) but also that the NFT continues to represent this ownership by proxy even when the proxy goes away.

There's nothing stopping a new middleman claiming authority over the ownership of a work and issuing an NFT for it. But its value entirely hinges on a shared understanding that this claim is valid.

Of course this would break down if an artist really did devalue earlier NFTs for the same work by issuing new ones because the value largely comes from the expectation that the non-fungible token's authority is also non-fungible, i.e. permanent.

Faxes have become a largely digital thing, as there are various digital fax services. Neither side needs to have a phone connection that can support it. The fax services just need to be able to communicate to each other.

I was in a radiology startup for a bit, and getting people to fill out forms on something like an iPad is still a problem. You need staff able to help them, and people damage or try to steal them. So then you end up with paperwork, and if that paperwork needs to move somewhere else, people fax it.
This isn’t a surprise. The religion that formed here hanging off his every word subscribed to it to get rich, just like he started YC to get rich. Now he’s happily rich, barely even looks in the mirror at these adherents that he left behind, and is writing for his new friends who are also rich. It was always pointless snake oil but the Sand Hill Greed here made everyone overlook that because maybe, just maybe, the key to get into YC and skip the bread line was buried in the ninth paragraph of some polemic from a guy who figured out retail in Lisp and somehow convinced a greed-seeking generation of hackers that he had all the answers.

I’ll take my -4 for hitting close to home. The grayer I get — silencing unpopular ideas by making them grayer was his idea too — the more confident I’m right. We stopped telling you folks you were following someone who only cared about your impact on his RoI because that sort of unwashed heathen isn’t welcome here. Paul Graham, YC, and this creation of his on which we speak now has done more to distort and destroy any foundation of computing remotely paying attention to making the world better than almost anything before it, and while I’m happy to see people finally figuring out that it just might be bullshit, it’s a bit too late.
Definitely plausible. I think he probably is on the spectrum, and yeah, could benefit from taking some time to learn how to cope with how that affects his interactions with others.

> It sounds like this person got sick of “Sea Lioning”

It's more like some other people got sick of that guy coming up with baseless assumptions, and (more importantly) baseless assertions, in order to support his goals; and a few of them don't let that go any more.

Because that's a constant pattern for him (he's been Perl's pumpking for several years, and then part of the ruling trio since the change in the governance system caused by the aftermaths of the announcement of his Perl 7 "plan"): he comes up with a change, or a plan like the Perl 7 plan, something that on the surface seems researched and based, and then... he backpedals because he is unable to sustain his claims, or he is proven wrong by people who actually know what they are talking about (with testimonies of recognised people, data, facts forming a consensus), or it becomes clear he didn't study the consequences of his planned changes (again, other people have to put up with the work needed to study that).

And sometimes, after a consensus has emerged and he either (seemingly) caved in or played possum (after all, both are more or less fine in a real human interaction, no need to publicly acknowledge every "defeat"), he comes back with the same points which have already been disproven. For example, this time he was arguing with some invisible authority arguments. While real data, real testimony of trustable people is sitting there and say the opposite.

Since I follow Perl 5 mailing lists in the recent years, he exhibits that same behavioural pattern. He probably doesn't even do it on purpose, he probably means well, he probably thinks his propositions are well researched and all. But he doesn't learn to do better for the next time.

Also, yesterday or 2 days ago, the Steering Committee trio of which he is part decided that for Perl 7, the decision would be to side more with the majority of Perl 5 core developers (that's a manner of saying it which is very abridged, but well...), than with his original plan. So you've got to keep in mind that his burst comes after what he probably felt like a disavowal, and this might be either the real reason, or a fair part of the reasons, rather than this alleged sea-lioning.
Actually... What they did, ten years ago, was build a much better Computer Engineering course!
These takes freak people out because we want to think of anti-inequality as a virtuous, prosocial belief. But a commitment to hold down inequality is a commitment to prevent the creation of value.

I don’t think it’s controversial to skim the top of the creation of value / rise in inequality to fund services that people need. But as long as a founder’s share of his value creation is greater than the share accruing to the homeless person down the street, his enterprise is still promoting inequality. From an inequality frame, even with a 99% tax rate it ought to be stopped. There are more than 99 other Americans; the founder’s share is still outsized.

I don't think he will, because he's not apologizing for what he's done, he's apologizing for not realizing others would think it was wrong.
> If you're "cloud-agnostic" and could migrate away from AWS in the blink of an eye then you're paying for an overpriced VM offering and should probably migrate to a cheaper hosting provider immediately.

No this is what everyone suggesting this does not get. The offerings are not equivalent.

There are a baseline of services that the cloud providers offer that can be made functionally-equivalent. It's not just EC2 but more like EC2,S3,Lambda,RDS,DynamoDB,ECS,EKS (plus some others and of course the other cloud's equivalents). The secret sauce is in the APIs and permisioning and all of these available within the same VPC (talking to each other without paying bandwidth costs).

"Cloud-agnostic" has _never_ meant "just VMs". Some of these services are majorly hard to duplicate on your own VMs as well. Feel free to implement "cheap VM hosting + S3" and burn cash on transit costs.

Cheaper hosting providers do not give you this by miles.

This sounds lovely. As a student, I currently associate code with trying to get a problem solved in time constraints...

Yes precisely, standard tabs get unusable quickly. I know some people can deal with dozens of tabs shrunken down to the size of a favicon, but I can't.

I wish vertical tabs were a standard option on all browsers, especially on Firefox where you need userchrome hacking on top of an extension to get something usable — userchrome css is deprecated and going away, which means integration deeper than is offered by extensions will be necessary in the future.

Being ARM has something to do with it. The x86 instruction decoder may be only about ~5% of the die, but it's 5% of the die that has to run all the time. Think about how warm your CPU gets when you run e.g. heavy FPU loads and then imagine that's happening all the time. You can see the power difference right there.

It's also very hard to achieve more than 4X parallelism (though I think Ice Lake got 6X at some additional cost) in decode, making instruction level parallelism harder. X86's hack to get around this is SMT/hyperthreading to keep the core fed with 2X instruction streams, but that adds a lot more complexity and is a security minefield.

Last but not least: ARM's looser default memory model allows for more read/write reordering and a simpler cache.

ARM has a distinct simplicity and low-overhead advantage over X86/X64.
Open Distro for ElasticSearch was not a fork rather an Apache 2.0-licensed distribution of Elasticsearch enhanced with enterprise security, alerting, SQL etc...

> This trend has been running for a long time. IBM, founded in 1896, took 45 years to reach a billion 2020 dollars in revenue. Hewlett-Packard, founded in 1939, took 25 years. Microsoft, founded in 1975, took 13 years. Now the norm for fast-growing companies is 7 or 8 years.

How much of this can be directly attributed to actions of the federal reserver?

Besides, when the federal government passes a $2T spending bill, isn't that basically guaranteed to create more billion dollar companies?

No. A website running on a single machine is not a client server architecture in the network sense.

Cloud software is slightly different than conventional software. As a general rule, you don't get access to the source code, even if the hosted software is built entirely on open source software. That may not make the software proprietary, strictly speaking, but it doesn't give you all the benefits of open source. In that sense, the benefits of using the "pay for what you use" software as a service model may outweigh the disadvantage of not having access to the source code. But here's one recent project that impressed me https://audext.com/.
for me, its https://qloppi.com
A thing I've noticed, and I could be wrong about this, is that social networks have not done much to increase avenues for interaction between 2nd degree connections of two people (say a and b) without needing the active participation of the a and b themselves.

For instance, if we have the following undirected connections: {(a,b), (b,c), (a,d)}. There could be a mechanism to make the graph more dense by the way of increasing interactions between (c,d) without needing, for example, a to like c's content for it to then appear on d's feed. Done naively, this could result in a lot of unwanted content on someone's feed, but I wonder if there are ways around it.

Just because you are smart doesn't mean your best friend is at the same level...

>I don’t really care about targeting, say, IRIX, or z/OS, or the early-2000s-era Windows POSIX Subsystem.

Sure, those are very niche, but not all BSDs or every Linux distros have bash in the base distribution. And if you work with embedded system bash is very much a luxury. You mention busybox but this one is very much a crap shot because everything in busybox is opt-in. You want to use `seq`? Better make sure that it's configured. On the other hand you almost certainly won't have bash on these systems either.

At any rate if the alternative is between having to install python, ruby, perl or lua on my machine or having to maintain and hack on ginormous bash scripts I know what I'll chose.

But in general I like your approach, it's pragmatic. It's just pretty hard these days to find a system that ships bash but can't give you some decent scripting support, at least in my experience.
That's really cool!

Though, I'm curious... don't a lot of malloc implementations use a bump allocator if a simple fragmentation heuristic is below some limit? Presumably musl down inside malloc() has a static bool (or a static function pointer) it uses to keep track if dlsym() has ever returned the address of free(). How much faster is the musl implementation than an implementation using a simple fragmentation heuristic? Presumably, they're both well-predicted conditional branches (and/or indirect branch targets well predicted by the BTB).
I know, right? Even $100-120k would make a huge difference. I see people talk about maxing out their 401k, but who has $20k per year to save? I mean, I've done everything right - good grades, stay out of trouble, got an ok job, worked hard (not so much now after being screwed multiple times, went to night school for a masters, 9 years in, and still a not very successful intermediate developer. Kind of depressing.
So, "start your own company". Or, trickle down wealth from VCs.

To be honest, a lot of people don't WANT to run a business. Business ventures are expensive in terms of time and money. I wish there was a quicker, more passive answer to "how people get rich now" than "invest in VTSAX and let it compound". A lot of people want the money to do the work for them.
> its values will never be changed after the fact

By this I mean, the x and y in the output will never themselves change value. They may be mutated, but they cannot be reassigned in the printed object. The printed object is exclusively referenced by the console itself, even if the nested objects within it may be referenced elsewhere.

> That could still happen with the contents of x or y themselves, but then it's no different from the original way (console.log(x, y);)

By this I mean exactly what you demonstrated, the point being that it had nothing to do with the original suggestion made by jchw.
