Depends what is being meant by Linux. Yes they run a variant of the Linux kernel, and there is some commonality in parts of the common libraries, but there are significant differences atop that which makes it quite different to your average desktop Linux.

The overall Android environment isn't Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat, ..., or other GNU/Linux environment.

> my

Yes. The primary meaning of "my" is the individual possessive. The secondary meaning of association, or membership, is something one cannot reliably communicate, even to oneself.

> Why is it that you avoid possessiveness?

I don't own people. They have individual agency.

> resign in the face of a team member not consenting to your decision

That's bonkers. It's still thinking in terms of a command authority. It's not me that has to consent, it's the rest of the team. Or more precisely, don't make decisions on behalf of a team if it hasn't agreed to recognising their validity in advance. The most important consent to obtain in this regard is hiring (nuance: compensation/levelling is best left to a separate corporate organ), followed by seating (yes, really) and allocation of day-to-day work.

Frankly, a manager whose team doesn't recognise the validity of their decisions, or who can't handle being challenged to qualify and explain their thinking, should go. Continuing the earlier analogy; if the band is unhappy with their manager, they can get a new one.

Command authority is for temporary dictators in situations required real-time skilled decision making, like a surgeon in the OR, or the emergency controller for a downtime incident. It is not for deciding which continuous delivery tool we'll use, whether we're including SSO in the next release, or buying standing desks, or who gets to sit next to the window, or has to refactor a problematic query.

The hardest thing to do in this context is fire someone, but then, it always is.

The easiest thing to do is actually extinguish the team, because the quid pro quo is that it spends company resources.
Oh yeah, those are all a real hoot with the lovely almost see-through paper and shoddy binding and printing errors like upside down pages.
I'd like to again, but I stopped because I didn't have a good (read: worked in the way I wanted) client, and not everything served it anyway.

I paid for Feedbin for quite a while, but it had too many issues/missing features. I replaced it with nothing, unfortunately.

(I think at the time it was one of those Sod it, I'll write my own moments, and of course never got around to it.)

Keep in mind Torvalds is replying to a distro person, and distro people like it that way. They're never going to see eye to eye. This piece of software was developed on Fedora 30. Therefore to run the binary you need to install Fedora 30 in a Docker container beforehand. Who doesn't want to ride on coattails? DSOs are like open-lock-in and no native software can escape its grip. These days I'm not even sure if most software can be considered a thing in and of itself that's separable from the specific version of the specific distro on which it's written, due to these libertine development practices using unportable magic .so files as implicit dependencies, since no one wants to write a cmake config vendoring the transitive closure of some C++ library that takes 30 minutes to build.
i see twillio there I know immediately its a nonsense or some bullshits article
Yes, but LTO doesn't apply across shared object libraries. Suppose I write a video game that uses DirectX for graphics, but I don't use the DirectX Raytracing feature at all. Because of DLL hell, I'm going to be shipping my own version of the DirectX libraries, ones that I know my video game is compatible with. Those are going to be complete DirectX libraries, including the Raytracing component, even though I don't use it at all in my game. No amount of LTO can remove it, because theoretically that same library could be used by other programs.

On the other hand, if I am static linking, then there are no other programs that could use the static library. (Or, rather, if they do, they have their own embedded copy.) The LTO is free to remove any functions that I don't need, reducing the total amount that I need to ship.

My take on this (and other problems with political speech and upset about perks) is a gradual encroachment of the workplace into the Third Place ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place ).

Back with the DotCom boom, there was an attempt to make the workplace a "club" - a place to hang out. Beer bashes, pool, foosball, ping pong tables... all of that. Yea, I'll grant its nice to relax to... but if you're staying late to play foosball with a coworker, that's the encroachment.

It may have made us more productive - gotten a few more hours a week of work in or kept some of the more vagabond-esque engineers around for a few more months.

But it also made the workplace a place to be rather than the third place and in doing so, also took some of the other things that the third place was too... but the workplace does the third place poorly... and it can't do it well.

The third place needs to be a neutral ground with no ties to those who are there. The coffee shop book club doesn't force anyone to be there. But the workplace, you need to be there for a pay check. If the book club gets bad, you can leave - not so with the workplace.

The third place needs to be level - with no status beyond "regular". The workplace has managers and leads and HR... it has CEOs and founders and a legal department.

While the workplace are sometimes saying "we are a community" - we know in our orgchearts that HR is there to protect the company, not organize book clubs and beer tastings.

This has become even more of an issue with the pandemic-wfh. The traditional third places are closed, or have limits on how many people can be there at once - and you've got to be 6' away from the other people. So we've got virtual third places. Some of the slack channels that I'm on have lit up over the past year.

And so, those companies that have encroached the most in the past are seeing it even more now. Where before the water cooler discussions of five minutes of politics are now immortalized in slack channels and message boards. Where people who would like to go to the coffee shop and pontificate about the wrongs of the workplace and politics are now forced to do it on message boards and slack channels.

Those companies that have gone further into the third places but don't have the ability to moderate the tone or power differentials are seeing it more. Those companies where the power gradient from most distant worker to the CEO is the steepest are even more likely to see it.

Larger orgs, with offices, can more easily move people who discuss and disrupt with politics further apart. Those smaller ones that are all remote? where everyone is on the same slack channel? Where the most distant employee to the CEO is only one or two managers apart? Yea... they're more likely to have trouble when the third place norms get too established in the company.

I'm not at all surprised to see this.
Yes, I use it. I don't want to manually check every blog web comic podcast etc i fallow, everyday and see if there was a update. If I tried i would probably end up missing some, so I grab the rss feed and have it delivered to me. And it doesn't clutter my email inbox like a newsletter or email notification will.

The only reason rss isn't more widespread is, it is to useful for consumers and hard to monetize for FAANG's

As the blog you cite points out, we withdraw care from infants in the first two categories on a routine basis, which has exactly the same effect as euthanasia, but with extra suffering for the infant. As far as I'm concerned, we already euthanize these infants. We just do it in the most painful way possible.

I'm sure a lot of companies are thinking about it. The question is how many employees you lose based on what you decide--and what your policies around exemptions are (which you need to have).

Certainly the path of least resistance is to encourage but not require because that way someone who doesn't like that policy can just quit rather than require the company to fire people who don't have the right docs (or submit fake ones).

Hey, don't worry, when world+dog moves to Lightning-PoS-v4.2 it'll totally be true.
There's a big difference between production installs and personal systems or hobbyist systems. Think, there are lots of businesses running Cobol on mainframes, there are machine shops running on Windows XP, there are big companies still running java 8 and python2. When you have a system that is basically frozen, you end up with catastrophic failure where to upgrade X you need to upgrade Y which requires upgrading Z, etc. You'd be surprised what even big named companies are running in their datacenters, stuff that has to work, is expensive to upgrade, and by virtue of being expensive to upgrade it ends up not being upgraded to the point where any upgrade becomes a breaking change. And at the rate technology changes, even a five year old working system quickly becomes hopelessly out of date. Now imagine a 30 year old system in some telco.

These are such different use cases that I think completely different standards and processes as well as build systems are going to become the norm for big critical infrastructure versus what is running on your favorite laptop.

I am doing the same journey - even getting a blog under my real name - and it can be unsettling as someone who early on learned that you never ever give away personal information, let alone use your real name, online.

Just blogging has eased some of my worries. Once I did the actual work and realize that the real issue that no one cares let alone reads my stuff, I stopped caring so much. Also, it helped to role-play how I would react if people "confronted" me about something I've written (my texts are so tame that it wouldn't be an issue).
I am going to try my best to incorporate your egoless attitude into my life, not being a dick, I mean it. Thanks.

Do security fixes break general usage of stable APIs often? That is not my experience. I mean that's the whole point of semantic versioning: you should be able follow a maintenance release line (or even a minor release line) without any incompatibilities. I don't know that I can remember an unknown security issue or other critical fix, certainly not many, where I've had to wait for a major release or break the contract.
> Given these, it seems worthwhile to re-evaluate the tradeoffs that come with dynamic linking

Perhaps this is just a Linux distro thing, but as someone who closely monitors the Void packages repo, dynamic linking burdens distro maintainers with hundreds of additional packages which need to be individually tracked, tested and updated.

(Packages which could otherwise be vendored by upstream and statically linked during the build.)

Dynamic linking also adds complexity to distro upgrades, because dependant packages often need to be rebuilt when the libraries they dynamically link to are changed or upgraded. For example, Void’s recent switch from LibreSSL to OpenSSL borked my install script which wasn’t aware of the change. It resulted in a built system whose XBPS package manager couldn’t verify SSL certs. On Arch, AUR packages were notoriously prone to dynamic linking errors (back when I still used it).

Personally, I don’t find the bandwidth efficiency and CVE arguments for dynamic linking to be all that convincing [1]:

Will security vulnerabilities in libraries that have been statically
linked cause large or unmanagable updates?

Findings: not really

Not including libc, the only libraries which had "critical" or "high"
severity vulnerabilities in 2019 which affected over 100 binaries on
my system were dbus, gnutls, cairo, libssh2, and curl. 265 binaries
were affected by the rest.

The total download cost to upgrade all binaries on my system which
were affected by CVEs in 2019 is 3.8 GiB. This is reduced to 1.0
GiB if you eliminate glibc.

It is also unknown if any of these vulnerabilities would have
been introduced after the last build date for a given statically
linked binary; if so that binary would not need to be updated. Many
vulnerabilities are also limited to a specific code path or use-case,
and binaries which do not invoke that code path in their dependencies
will not be affected. A process to ascertain this information in
the wake of a vulnerability could be automated.

This is an easy to use wrapper on ESBuild, the Go-based javascript compiler.

I have no affiliation to this project, but used it for our company frontend build process. This decreased our production package build time by 8x and makes our local development code change updates more than 10x faster.

I followed ESBuild because of Evan Wallace, but never knew how to actually get it working for a project.

Using Vite - I was able to replace a Create React App based project's Webpack builder, and was absolutely blown away by the improvements.

This is genuinely a cost saver. Since builds are faster, I decreased the number of concurrent builds to pay for. Outside of that, dev productivity is definitely up.
Another important wrinkle is that Chia’s proof-of-space needs you to prove you’ve stored the right cryptographic noise - rather than, for example, any useful data.
Regular customers usually have long-term contracts and preferential treatment. Nobody in their right mind is going to show them the middle finger.

But for them, availability will also be limited, and next-term prices will get higher.

Also, increasing production of a highly-demanded item is not unheard of! But it will take months.
Of course not. Nobody wants to run that on their phone except a tiny few. Android isn’t the same, but even then nobody knowingly wants to run Android.
So, what's the alternative?

Now it's your choice... you either lose B but protect the rest of the infrastructure from hackers... or you think the CVE doesn't apply to your usecase (internal thing on a testing server), and don't upgrade L to keep B working.

You can also install both versions of L. You can also patch the broken part of L out at the old version, if it's not mission critical. There's a lot of things you can do.

Having one giant binary file with everything statically compiled in is worse in every way, except for distribution-as-a-single-file (but you can already do this now, by putting the binary and the libraries in a single zip, dump everytinh in /opt/foo, and let user find the vulnerable library manually... which again, sucks.

> The important benefit is dynamic linking. The ability to change which library is being used without needing to rebuild the main program is really important.

Or just having the option of loading the library at all. If you don’t need the functionality offered by libxyz, you’re not required to use it. One then has no end of language extensions that can be loaded into a generic interpreter to fit a script to whatever job they have at hand.

Edit: Linus touched on this as a last point:

My question: is it actually rare?
