Is it my imagination or does British English seem to retain more French grammar than US English? I’ve often noticed in Duolingo that a sentence that I translate into English that seems correct to me gets me a “alternative answer you could have used” or sometimes a rejection for incorrect English when it’s a more literal translation of the French. E.g US “I already saw this movie” UK “I have already seen this film” FR “J’ai déjà vu ce film”. My sentence was rejected as incorrect. Maybe my English grammar is just bad, people my age weren’t taught English Grammar at school, it wasn’t fashionable.
This is great. @deepbuilder I’d love to chat more on this, my email is in my profile if you would be willing to.
Very true. But Reverb should give those people advice to seek therapy and marriage counselling. In my country - forcing someone to do that is straight domestic abuse and that would warrant involving police if partner was increasingly annoying about my guitar.
I agree; even before the internet, I rented movies, I didn't buy them. The movie/tv industry has always been massively overcharging for the privilege of owning the content, which is why the business of selling them never even really took off the way it did for music and video games where the value of ownership is much higher.
It would be somewhat a good thing that jobs/services with very little added value like fast food (or even a somewhat negative value) make little margins/profits. We are really way too much in a society of consumption, there are many intermediate and unnecessary jobs and services, and those are the first hit during a crisis
Not sure about that, I just think that "design" has a lower barrier to entry.

A pure designer cannot one day find themselves writing code for a major piece of opensource software.

A pure programmer can find themselves arranging some UI and designing a logo on Inkscape, that won't look and feel great.

Put the two together and something magical can happen, though not always, as design is so easy the programmer can be overcome with hubris and discard or ignore the designer advice and do the designing himself, with obvious results.
So far RSS is unmatched for me. I started with Netvibes when I was a teenager, then I stopped for some years, then I installed Aggregator on Android a to be able to follow RSS feeds again.

I'm looking for a smarter RSS reader on Android than the existing ones. Features I'm looking for :

- automatic deduplication of items
- smart labels powered by ML
- My own grouping based custom filters AND smart labels
- easy access to discussions that might exist on social website for a given link (twitter, HN, reddit)

That might be the usecase that would get me started with Android development, but I have not decided if a webapp would be better. Also every news businesses and news distributors on Earth (including Google) are trying to kill RSS to make more money, I don't see who could stop them.
I've also seen it in various "technology" subreddits.

I'm suspicious that HDD and SSDs manufactures and/or merchants have been hyping it after getting jealous with how much money GPUs have been raking in.

I bet someone will invent shared content for Docker containers in the next few years as a disk-saving measure.
Or perhaps there are too many designers? Or overconfident programmers who think they can do the design work?
> with Proof-of-space you are printing your tickets once and then storing them for years.

So then where's the issue with SSD wear, and wouldn't it be more interesting for people to have spinning drives (for the better ratio of GB / $)?

> There is extra layers, Chia is actually proof-of-space-and-time, so that you can't win by faking proof-of-space with proof-of-work.

Is it because of this? So you'd have to print your lottery tickets often enough that a faster drive may help you?

clojure uses immutabilty heavily. It doesn't really match 1-to-1 CL/elisp code. I think PCL(http://gigamonkeys.com/book/) is still a great introduction to CL. The author is planning a 2nd edition last i heard.

I'm standing in opposition without disagreeing - lets just compare this to the US strategy.

The US has been pushing all its externalities onto 3rd world countries for decades so it can enjoy a high standard of living while pretending that it doesn't have an environmental cost. China & Africa have endured some very dodgy waterways and extremely questionable air so that America gets iPhones and other electronic gizmos.

Several American administrations and a couple of powerful political lobby groups have been everything short of openly hostile to the mining industry. Although the worst of the ire was directed at coal, the thumbscrew tightening approach to regulation affected everyone.

China's strategy is to get a lock on rare earth production. The US's strategy has been for someone else to have a lock on rare earth production. The States has not been a prime destination for mining investment in the last 30 years, and their market for consumption hasn't been growing all that much. The only thing in their favour is that with the rule of law the mine probably won't be nationalised.

China isn't acting unilaterally here. It is illegal in the US to do what China does to get ahead.
Always too long.

Between 5 and 10 minutes from push to staging deploy for our Elixir and Node apps. And most of it is spent compiling Javascript assets.

Another app I had that got worse was camscanner - a scanner app that would take a picture of a document and create a .pdf out of it.

It was sold to tencent. The "privacy policy" - when you could access it (broken links) was written in broken english that basically said it did anything it wanted with your .pdf files.

The kinds of documents I would image to .pdf were extremely sensitive personal documents - think w2, documents with SSN, etc...

At least apple notes eventually added a version of camera to .pdf (though it wasn't obvious how to use it when it came out)

Not that this is perfect either but if you know how to grab the APKs and developer mode is enabled, you can script the installs using adb from a computer. I agree there is room for improvement to help make this process more seamless, but it still much more flexible than what is being offered by Apple.

There are quite a few single-board computers out there that appear on tindie, etc. Usually people design a board, get it up and running, sell it for a few months or years then it dies off.

RC2014 has been quite long-lived by contrast, I guess having the various extensions/addons helps encourage people to keep tinkering with it.

I bought a single-board Z80-based system a few months back, and I guestimate there are about 50 of those specific boards in existence - but it doesn't matter too much how many of a specific board exist, so long as the CP/M archives continue to be maintained a new design isn't so hard to create.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to avoid purchasing, and therefore tying myself to, 'connected' platforms. I recently decided to purchase a new washing machine. It was difficult to find one that did not feature some form of wireless connectivity. I know from other discussions on this forum around so-called 'smart' televisions[1][2] that simply not connecting the device to your home wi-fi network, or implementing DNS filtering measures such as a PiHole, may not be effective ways to restrict the access of these devices. Not to mention the various security implications of giving these devices access to your network.

The idea of a car having the same connectivity is just a minefield of privacy, security and generally anti-consumer issues. I am not optimistic either that pushback against such concerns will force manufacturers to amend these practices.

Sad story of the smartest man in history
Or could it perhaps just be that the requirements of the bridges are different? Things like oscillation tolerance, minimum width etc. Perhaps dictated by local laws and/or the kind of target public they want to attract, the average number of days a year the weather would permit transit etc etc ?
That's called volume mounts and/or base images ?
I'm assuming they already are using the package manager. The issue is that there are so many dependencies for a single package, and almost every system update consist of updating a bunch of Haskell packages which just clutters maintenance.
Love these suggestions. Will definitely work to see how I can incorporate functionality like this.
Not making changes in the world?
The make a lot of changes before so they don't have to do them on shabbat. They make actually more changes than without shabbat, and in this case even more environmental damage.
Please provide the Android documentation how to access LinuxSE on non-rooted devices, you know those that regular consumers actually buy and app developers get their income from.

> Keeping cash balances is undesirable because of the opportunity cost not because of inflation.

I don't get this statement. IMO it's undesirable for both reasons.

From the point of view of holding USD on a savings account -10% inflation (aka: 10 deflation) is the same as 2% inflation with savings accounts that reek in 12% interest rates. You're arguing that nobody in the world should want to have such a savings account? Everybody should invest it in something at a risk-free rate? You mean a risk-free investment? I'm not sure what that means.

> And I don't agree that central banks are failing to maintain price stability.

I'm talking 2020 - 2021, as in: right now. The data you link goes until 2019 pre-corona, pre-helicopter-money times.

Here in Europe there's without a single doubt in my mind stagflation going on right now (prices that rise faster than the average income).

Holding cash in a bank account is IMO a guaranteed significant loss of purchasing power right now. If you take 1 look at past year's commodity prices, you'll see that the market agrees with me.

Year over year examples: lumber spot price up 300% up, silver 74% up, gold (the gold standard for measuring inflation) 5% up, housing prices 10 - 30% up, wheat price 25% up, and so on and so forth.

Does this mean all these things have all of a sudden become more desirable? No. Does it mean the USD/EUR/etc have lost buying power? IMO very big yes.
Note how I said "sells" ;)
They could add DRM-features on the fly.
The "coherent whole" is more in demand than ever before. Just look at the Android and iOS ecosystems with super hard rules how things have to behave and look in order to be admitted. They just put the burden on the app dev instead of a crew of distro maintainers.
I don’t think that is a valid defense.

Bitcoin started the whole crypto craze, and etherereum wouldn’t exist without bitcoin.

And the eth (and who knows how many other coin) crowd certainly does still mine on gpus.
Their batting average is much better than you may think. Most technologies fail out. Remember the tonnes of people who fell prey to OLPC'S Jepsen claims about transflective being the next big thing. There's this funny thing called survivorship bias that causes people to misunderstand "batting average". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias
Most likely they are free apps, but the features they want are in-app purchases.
Ok time to be honest, the "change in corporate strategy" is not the real reason why they failed

They failed because they lacked focus and money

I didn't like the whole Android idea of getting out of the OpenDesktop space, "java first" but they were right to cut the whole thing off and simplify everything.

X doesn't belong on a phone. GTK doesn't belong neither (at least not how it's used by most apps)

Linux is great but the userspace not so much, and integrating all vendor drivers, etc is a PITA as well. Google was right to be hyperfocused on shipping a phone, and not putting the libraries or tech first
I think many of us underestimate the power of FOMO and the desire to get rich quick.

The latter isn’t necessarily greed, lots of people just don’t have the good fortune to make a comfortable amount of money (as those of us in tech do) so are more susceptible to bubbles.
I think you misunderstand how widely used libcurl is. On Arch Linux, it has 291 reverse dependencies: https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/curl/.

It is e.g. used by git, cargo (Rust's package manager) and cmake (C++ build system). It's literally installed on 99.99% of all Arch Linux systems: https://www.archlinux.de/packages/core/x86_64/curl.
I'd say it's neither. Demoscene is a good example of when designers and programmers were working well together.

Deviantart was a huge platform where people would share art and designs/skins. To some extent that still exists for iOS views.

I think one thing that's different about the deviantart model was that back then apps used to have skinning interfaces. And then designers could focus on just skinning. You could argue that gnome themes are like that. I would disagree, but also skinning isn't quite the same as doing ux.

UI/UX on Mac is a lot easier than UI/UX on gtk applications or QT applications.

On top of that, I don't think most designers understand OSS. It's basically a different universe and these two world don't often interact.
And you were likely much less efficient because of less interaction with your more knowledgeable colleagues. You don't know what you don't know.
I don't think that is the issue. if you ever start a startup the first thing an investor will ask is what problem you are solving. Connected cars, fridges etc aren't solving any problem I have. I don't even use the inbuilt maps etc on my car. The phone is a much better device for that in every way.
Common reasons include holes in the ground leading to dogs escaping out of fenced areas, or just general property damage (dogs can quickly dig large holes which are walking hazards, and don’t look as nice as a well kept yard). Also, when children play in the street, for example, wouldn’t you stop in that kind of situation? Or if children were digging large holes on someone else’s / public property?
Same story for me, also went keto for approx. six months and experienced the same benefits but once I started carbs again, those seemingly great benefits loose against the ease of just being able to eat "normally".
It seems to me that the root cause is that OSS is often developed by people already using it. They are used to weird interface and not benefiting from it being usable by newbies.

So there is much smaller motivation to improve it.

And even if someone new joins project they will be often also used to weird interface once they contribute.
Hmm, maybe it's time for a huawei. I have a oneplus and had the hardest time unlocking my Tesla for a while because OnePlus's OxygenOS kept killing the Tesla app in the background. Really stupid.

Ejection seats?
Not sure if that's sarcastic, but yes there is.
I work on one project at a time - making it better, implementing one single feature, fixing a bug - then move to the next project.

At any given time I have about five personal projects which I'm kinda working on. For example at the moment most of my energy is being spent writing an adventure game for CP/M. But at the same time I made a couple of changes to my RSS2email project, spent a while updating dependencies on my sysadmin-toolbox project, and later today I'll hack on my emacs init-scripts a little bit.
> If OpenSSL has a hole in it, the fastest way to patch every system in the world is to patch the OpenSSL library. If every OpenSSL app in the world were statically compiled, then every single OpenSSL-using app in the world would need to be patched, tested, released, and upgraded, independently.

Even if we upgrade a shared library and the reverse dependencies do not require a rebuild, we should still re-test everything (I think Debian does this already).
And a 1000 of those are bugs that have been around since Windows 98.
No, the main gripe of this article is data locality, not vectorization. Those two are completely orthogonal and complementary: you can have data locality without vectorization and vectorization without data locality, and both bring performance improvements. But vectorization bring a constant speedup (from x2 to maybe x16 depending on the ISA of the processor), but data locality can improve performance much more because memory accesses are thousands of times slower than processor cycles.

But if the semantic of your programming languages doesn't allow your compiler to change the layout of your data in memory, then there is almost nothing the compiler can do to improve data locality in your application.

Actually...https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.04738.pdf

On a more serious note, most c programs I see don't do very much of that, preferring to allocate fixed-size buffers on the stack. Additionally, most GC'd languages that aren't java have crappy GCs, and those GC'd languages that are java lack value types. This harms spatial locality quite a bit, and compaction can't fully compensate for that.

They are working on adding value types to the jvm, though; it will be very interesting to see how performance changes. (I expect not very much in practice—those projects for which performance was important were already using whatever tricks they needed to—but perhaps it will improve the ergonomics of performant java.)
I care very deeply about the degree of harm done to living creatures by the exposure to toxic chemicals used in everyday products. Recycling plastic waste is indeed a good thing, however it's more pressing that we reconsider the safe use of plastics entirely. The road surface is subject to all manner of environmental exposure, and is a very direct vector into our drinking water.

But these are sometimes making it safer for the occupants at the expense of the rest of the environment (think smaller windows and fatter A pillars making children harder to see, or strengthened soundproofing making children harder to hear.)
I would say it likely is your, and their, setups. But not idiocy. The way Emacs configuration works makes it very easy to break (but also very powerful)
Hm did I offend? If so my bad! Cheers and enjoy your evening. I do however suspect you have no good points to share and hence your exit from this debate. Your point may have been asinine (I do not plan to walk that back) but that says nothing of you, it wasn't a value judgement on the speaker.

I'm not sure what relevance that has to my assertion? If a/the market goes up 50% you'd be poorly advised to hold cash rather than put it in the market.
It's an open question about how good it is.
This. People seem to be overlooking the fact that Android is an utterly repugnant ecosystem to develop for, and we can do much, much better.
You're making the same mistake as DHH, which is at the root of this. Nobody says it "leads directly to genocide". There are literally a list of steps that it needs to go through first. The point of the pyramid is to remind us that we need to stop it as early as possible. Saying that it's one step in the direction of genocide obviously doesn't mean it's going to cause genocide. It just means that when genocide does happen, it starts with the level below, and so on down the pyramid. Somebody doesn't wake up one morning thinking "well, I laughed at somebody's name yesterday, so I'm going to kill their family today", but laughing at a customer's name might normalise laughing at a coworker's name, which in turn might make it more likely that they'll be excluded from something and so on up.
Some people look at the lives of poor people vs the lives of ultra-rich people, and decide to get rich. Crypto is a decent way to get rich right now.
tmux supports this.
> No. The market does that. I'm not sure why you think this is different than how the value of, say, a dollar represents.

Well most markets aren’t made up of 95% fictional trades, according to an ETF that attempted to list two years ago.

> You misunderstand. Its not that direct. Central banks print money used to fund things like government loans (ie bonds), among other things.

You misunderstand. Central banks don’t print money, they set reserve rates, interest rates and they occasionally purchase and sell bonds. Nothing more.

> You're misinformed. Show me one way that bitcoin has lead to new kinds of corruption. I would be very surprised if you could name a single thing and have some credible information about it.
