> Even if what you claim was true, emotional knee-jerk reactions have never helped in any conflict.

I think it did, it did massively. On other hand keeping people oblivious to dire facts "because people will be outraged" is how you get Belgiums happening. "This can't be happening here" people were saying, despite a very credible threat, news of which were deliberately silenced, and played down by Belgian government of the time for the same reason. And when they woke up to the sight of German tanks on the streets, it was too late to agitate anybody. Belgian mobilisation failed because no men went to barracks because of prior normalisation of the situation.

> Showing things like "Palestinian children blown to bits" will first and foremost escalate a conflict and instigate more violence.

It's often when you do escalate conflict, and bring it to its logical end, when people can't simply stand, and do nothing, you do get things done.

Ireland could've probably been English Gaza by now if Irish simply decided to lay down, endure repressions without inflicting pain upon British, and thus normalising the situation.

When you have to scream your lungs out, you need to scream your lungs out.

If you don't, this is how it gets to outrageous situations like women being raped in broad daylight without any men around doing anything about it, and to dead silence of passer-by's.

Before, I thought something like this can only be possible in societies of China, or Russia, but to my most visceral disgust, it does now happen in the West too.

Then why haven't they said so instead of telling the American people and Congress that the objects shown in the videos are considered unidentified, to the extent that Congress has ordered a report on UAP's and that an investigation by the DoD Inspector General has been initiated ?
How Shopify’s network of sellers can take on Amazon
Minimum wages in America are so low, that an increase in minimum wages goes to spending on consumption goods. This drives economic activity.

Eventually inflation catches up and we are back here again.

To be fair the real issue is the wealth gap.

More money in the hands of poorer people means more money circulation and demand.

Money in rich people’s hands means more investment.

Currently far more is in the hands of rich people so we have incredible amounts of investment dry powder waiting to be deployed, and riskier and less healthy ideas being funded.

Optimum consumption and investment is the ideal way forward, and everyone gets a bigger pie (except the environment)

I'd argue that forcing someone to use your service by preventing others from offering the functionality and handicapping your own implementation is in fact a dirty thing. They get their cut when someone purchases an iPhone.

> Everyone keeps talking about how they "intentionally hamstring PWAs". They kicked off HTML5, remember? They shipped the first real web browser on a phone, remember?

So what? They didn't launch with the app store, and since it was introduced they appear more and more hostile to the changes they helped kick off. According to others in the thread they won't even allow webapps to send notifications, a fairly basic/fundamental feature of mobile phones. Elsewhere people go into further detail on how Safari's storage APIs are released buggy and broken.

“Economic pressure” also kills children and brings suffering to the people.

The fact is that the US has bankrolled or committed itself atrocities just as gruesome as any of the “evil dictators” against which our media drums up popular fervor. Look into what we did in the Marshall Islands, for instance, (documented in the film The Coming War on China) or what we bankrolled in Chile under Pinochet.

But let’s not pretend our opinions have any significance in these matters. An end to endless war is not on the ballot. All we can do is face the reality that our state and media are run by this sort of cynical cretin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony

The most important problem with keeping old computers running is their carbon footprint.

> any civilization which could peacefully colonize a galaxy is not the kind of civilization that would colonize the galaxy at all. The very act of wanting to colonize self-selects for violence/exploitation.

This isn't necessarily true. Colonizing is simply the act of moving to a different piece of land. Violence and exploitation occurs when colonists are engaged in resource competition. It's not hard to imagine that, given high enough levels of technological development and the overall size of the universe, a colonizing civilisation can pre-select and coexist with existing occupants.

To put it another way, two hundred years ago, if I wanted to move a bunch of Europeans to what are now Addis Ababa or Bangkok, I would have to "colonize" the area. Now, all I would have to do is buy (multiple) apartments, or a plot of land or two and build a gated retirement community.

The first iPhone famously only had 2G cellular internet. At the time 3G phones were not ubiquitous but were readily available (had one as a mid priced Nokia flip phone), so I’ve always thought this was a fascinating aspect of the iPhone story. I bet the decision was made to go forward despite the product being slightly hobbled precisely because of timing.

Yeah this feels like an example of a narrative that sounds compelling but could easily be overstated. How many breakthrough innovations have “insiders” made that aren’t as noteworthy because they are more expected? Google was given as an example by the parent comment.

It really depends when this will arrive ( if at all ) at Samsung Foundry. TSMC will have 3nm shipping next year. And currently still looking at 2024 for their 2nm. Which would have 50% higher transistor density than this IBM 2nm.

I switched from consulting to a company. In short contracting is a headache if what you care about is doing good tech work.

Rates in the contract world represent a lot of overhead and headaches you experience there:

1. Payment risk: chances someone doesn’t pay you is surprisingly high. A lot of time is just spent chasing down your money.

2. Poor payment terms: being able to bill after 30 days of work is actually seen as generous. More and more you see 45, 60 or even 90 day terms. And clients are always playing dumb cash flow games

3. Invoicing and tracking time is not fun: There’s a lot of overhead following some clients invoicing rules and time tracking. Then you can get questioned non stop about why you spent hours on this or that.

4. Employer tax: in the US if you’re self employed you pay the employers share of Medicare and social security.

5. Health insurance: in the US you need to purchase your own private health care. This can be quite a lot if you have a family. I know outside the US, in some places, private health insurance can also be needed for other reasons.

6. Sales and marketing overhead: the work to attract clients and close deals is pretty substantial and out of your pocket.

7. Relationship work: you are always paranoid about the relationship with the client. You’re first to go if money gets tight for them. And often clients don’t communicate their grievances with vendors, they just fire them. The trust building to get good feedback is very substantial.

8. Project management: in my experience clients aren’t good at managing contractors work. You have to take a bunch of this work on yourself to help organize the work and show transparently what’s getting done. If you have any subcontractors or work on a larger team, this gets substantial and clients don’t always understand why you bill for it (though we always did).

Per the parent, unemployment is not the same thing as workforce participation.

If someone has decided to stop looking for work so that they can stay home and care for a sick family member, or take care of a child, then they are no longer counted towards the unemployment rate, even though overall workforce participation has declined.

The extreme of this was, say, 1800s Scottish architecture - the typical croft house was designed to use exactly one piece of proper lumber, the roof beam, while the walls were all stone, because trees were scarce.

> From the bank of the Tweed to St. Andrews I had never seen a single tree, which I did not believe to have grown up far within the present century. Now and then about a gentleman's house stands a small plantation, which in Scotch is called a policy, but of these there are few, and those few all very young. The variety of sun and shade is here utterly unknown. There is no tree for either shelter or timber. The oak and the thorn is equally a stranger, and the whole country is extended in uniform nakedness, except that in the road between Kirkaldy and Cowpar, I passed for a few yards between two hedges. A tree might be a show in Scotland as a horse in Venice. At St. Andrews Mr. Boswell found only one, and recommended it to my notice; I told him that it was rough and low, or looked as if I thought so. This, said he, is nothing to another a few miles off. I was still less delighted to hear that another tree was not to be seen nearer. Nay, said a gentleman that stood by, I know but of this and that tree in the county.

It bothers me that the re-purposing of words is getting so pervasive. It's good that people like you spot it and call it out.
I'd already answered that -- both in my OP and in the comment you've just replied to. It's the OS specific code. Using ZFS on FreeBSD is as natural as using ext4 on Linux. Sure, ZoL exists and some distro's ship pre-compiled binaries for ZFS, but if your server drops into an emergency shell or even fails to boot entirely, if you need to boot from a live image (CD/USB) or your boot volume gets cocked up... fixing all of these requires extra hurdles on Linux if root is ZFS. Whereas that isn't the case on FreeBSD.

There's other OS specific features that FreeBSD does better with regards to ZFS such as ACLs too. But like with trashed volumes, they're edge cases.

FreeBSD also has better bundled tooling for working with ZFS. By this I don't mean `zfs` and `zpool` but little shell scripts et al that are FreeBSD specific.

Then there is the documentation. If you're running Linux then all the documentation regarding server management is about standard server management (ie with an ext4 or xfs root). But FreeBSD documentation will talk about how to do management with the assumption you're running ZFS. The FreeBSD docs (which are excellent, by the way) has pages and pages on ZFS outside of the stuff published by ZoL (which is pretty poor it has to be said) and OpenZFS. And I say the last points as someone who's had to manually compile kernel modules on Linux to get the latest patch to support a feature that made it to FreeBSD first.

I do have servers running ZFS + Linux and they work really well. So I'm not taking anything away from that architecture. But when things go wrong or you're trying to do something a little more specialised outside of basic file storage, ZFS has always felt like an awesome hack on top of Linux rather than an integral part of it's design. Unlike with FreeBSD where the same people managing the kernel and userland are the same people pushing ZFS as the default file system. If Torvalds, Pottering or others held ZoL in the same esteem then I'm sure the edge cases I've described would go away (Linux certainly has the larger developer community).
As always, it's about tools and integration.

ZFS as root is completely normal on FreeBSD, is it on Linux? You have tools like zfs-stats, bectl, zfs or dataset-jails, poudriere (packagebuilder) fully integrated with zfs, the list goes on and on. So even when the base of OpenZFS came from ZoL, it's use on freebsd feels much more integrated...or let's call it native.
Montana resident here. I won’t comment in the wisdom of the policy itself, but I will say that people avoiding work due to CoVid benefits is a very real thing. It’s widely considered wise to go hunting and play video games rather than go to work.
On the client side too. I use it to avoid loading below-the-fold images until it's necessary. For example, I don't load the thumbnails of related articles.

It makes a non-negligible impact on bandwidth usage and page load time.
In an era where a vintage computer is the equivalent of a $35 Raspberry Pi in terms of compute and memory, the rationale to support the former, from an OS perspective, seems incredibly weak.
it's not an apt analogy. We can do both! There's no reason that we can't legislate proper waste handling with the subsidies. No reason whatsoever.
I was also surprised that Debian was not the list of distributions they tried. That would be the first one I would reach for in this situation, and indeed is running fine for me on a VPC 256MB of RAM (although it is a 64bit CPU).

I also try to get my hands on a Performa/LC 575 motherboard to perform a Mystic upgrade of my Color Classic -- the goal being to see what kind of crazyness we could get on a top-of-the line color compact mac.
