No compromise, AFAIU. They felt they had no choice but to upgrade to a more modern compiler, and they preferred clang+APL2 over gcc+GPLv3. Apache 2.0 still violates their licensing policy. Technically, GPLv2 also violated their licensing policy. They historically used GPL'd software like gcc when there were no viable alternatives and doing without wasn't acceptable either.

You keep using the word final. I don't think it means what you think it means...

Here it doesn't mean "the project is done, no more development".

It just means this is the official release of version 4.0 - e.g. no more betas, etc.
Sounds like a great experiment and a lifestyle choice that should be available to those who want it. But individual action will always be trumped by invention. The fully optimistic way forward isn't self sacrifice, it's developing the things -- neighborhoods, vehicles, fuels, whatever -- that make it possible for everyone to do more stuff with less energy, and enjoy doing it.

Probably you meant 20%. So that's X * 2 * 1.2. Or X * 2.4. Or make it easier and say 2.5. And 2.5 is 10 /4. So another way to say this is "take your reasonable expectation, multiply it by 10 to become really unreasonable then make it reasonable again by divide it with 4".

The release would still be 4 even when it's in beta or alpha stage, so no.
FWIW, the one-point compactification of the discrete natural numbers can be described as follows:

The underlying set is the natural numbers along with one extra point which we’ll call infinity.

The open subsets are:

- Any subset which does not contain infinity,

- Any subset containing infinity whose complement is finite.

So, in order for an endomap to be continuous, it either has to

- Send infinity to infinity, in which case the pre-image of any natural must have finite cardinality (though the pre-image of infinity could be infinite).

- Send infinity to some natural number n, in which case all but finitely many naturals should map to n.

I remember using ephemeral Heroku deploys in the dev pipeline well before I knew Netlify was a thing. That was pretty much the last major innovation I saw from Heroku, before Salesforce decided they'd grown fat enough to milk.

But...there were also pipelines. A deploy preview is essentially a staging or pre-prod environment. Or going from draft to published.

That's an AWFUL lot of assumptions, there. You've constructed an entire complex narrative around something where all we know is that it's very simplistic.
You might also consider how a modern language with a very small syllable inventory, Japanese, customarily represents foreign words in its own syllabically-impoverished writing system.

For example, the English word "credit card", which is three syllables, is written in Japanese as ku-re-di-t-to-ka-a-do, which is eight. The Ventris hypothesis works in the other direction -- he believes that speakers of phonologically-rich Greek made do with a writing system that could only express much simpler syllables.

Though we have examples of that too; Antiochus of Macedon left an Akkadian inscription reading, as given in Empires of the Word [1], "I am An-ti-'u-ku-us [Antiochus], the great king, the legitimate king, the king of the world, king of E [Babylon], king of all countries, the caretakeer of the temples Esagila and Ezida, the first born of Si-lu-uk-ku [Seleucus], Ma-ak-ka-du-na-a-a [Macedonian], king of Babylon."

Contrast Antiochus' (or his scribes') concern for vowel length when he goes to the trouble of writing Ma-ak-ka-du-na-a-a with the reading of kainoos from ka-no.

Is there a university nearby?

Grad students and postdocs seem like a fairly untapped source for tech recruiting, especially outside of the CS department. Physics, neuroscience, econ, biology, and many other fields now involve lots of programming and data analysis, sometimes under demanding conditions (real-time or huge, noisy data sets). Many of the people are smart and highly-motivated, but making a tenth of the numbers you quoted (and with rubbish job security to boot). It should be like shooting fish in a barrel.

And yet.... they don't seem to be on many company's radars. I'm the only one in my group who is ever contacted by recruiters, and it's an undergrad CS degree.

Yes, you'll have to screen to figure who tweaks "the script that gives the numbers" and who's more like a developer. Recruiters might need to put in a little legwork to figure out how different kinds of researchers map onto open reqs. You might want to somehow prep non-traditional candidates for a developer interview, or figure out an on-boarding track. But you can afford a whole heck of a lot of that if a $250k/year job is sitting open.
This strikes me as a very defeatist and Malthusian take on the world, and, frankly, too US-centric.

While the US hasn’t managed the political will for significant climate reform, we are far from the majority of the world, and even if we magically had a green revolution and became the worlds first zero-emission nation, it’s unlikely that this would be enough to avert climate change. The developing world wants modern life, and if they have to burn fossil fuels to catch up, they will.

There are really only a few situations that lead to radical global change:

1. Severe crisis, such as a nation-ending war.

2. Extraordinary visionary leadership in the right place at the right time... which often leads to serious crises such as nation-ending wars.

Otherwise, progress comes from the chaotic, messy evolution of humanity. Perhaps we will innovate our way out of climate disaster, perhaps the ecology will gradually change and we’ll be forced to adapt, or (my guess) perhaps some of both. The good news is we actually have a lot of the technology we need, and more is being developed all the time. I for one am optimistic that between innovation and adaptation the future will continue to be bright.
As a web dev, I must say Microsoft just gave me the best birthday present ever.
As someone who used Netscape, IE and Opera back then, Netscape was unfortunately very buggy (and not just in terms of stability). It's offline cache didn't always work (i..e you could resize the window, and it would re-download things instead of using the local cache, which was very painful on 28.8 dialup!) I remember being able to browse some sites very quickly while dialed up in IE, and then later offline be able to view them more leisurely all fine in offline mode. Netscape couldn't consistently do that.

IE 5, 5.5 and 6.0 (this last one at least initially, but clearly it stayed around too long without development) were noticeably faster and more user-friendly in my experience.

> Everyone cashing out of the stock market now is also being paid by the people cashing in now. That's not what a Ponzi scheme is.

There's an underlying cash flow to the business you're buying and the stock is supposed to give you a claim to dividends paid out by the corporation from those cash flows.

The fact that the stock market is acting more and more like a Ponzi scheme doesn't make crypto any less of one. We're just forgetting how the stock market is supposed to operate.

Oh also Madoff's Ponzi was an investment scheme where he just produced above average return on investment. He always beat the market, so people invested. He dealt with charities which didn't extract money often, so he had more predictable withdrawals. He was operating like a mutual fund. He wasn't promising a fixed percentage interest, he just always beat the market claimed to never lose money.

> She is a writer and not a software engineer. Comparing her salary to software engineer interns therefore isn't fair.

I'm going to call BS on that. Written communication is a high-leverage activity that if you are going to the trouble of having a dedicated position for it, paying that person well is a pretty good idea. Perhaps not as well as an engineering role of similar seniority, but about as well as a design or QA role (and for similar reasons).

Paying that person less than an intern is both shortsighted and insulting.
I like it better too. And fortunately the setting doesn’t seem to be reverted at random as frequently as it used to.
"but it was our terrible browser."

Don't you dare include me in "our" 8)

My first browser was telnet (1992ish) From 1993 onwards it was all a bit weird in internets land.

For me the golden time for wwwbly_internets was around 2000-5 or so. /. was still (just) worth reading, FB was still a bulge in MZ's trousers. Google was cool, Amazon was clever, Apple was cool. The www was still interesting - US frontier like.

I am of course joking. Today's www is not the same as that in say 2000. Google is not cool, Apple is not cool, Facebook is unpleasant, Amazon is not cool and quite odd.
Bring it up during the initial contact from the recruiter. When they ask about you’re “salary requirements” is when it can be brought up. Ignore the parts on working for competitors (that’s illegal in CA anyways just let the dog be), focus on you’re property only.

When listing projects and ideas last time I got the waiver even while keeping the ideas extremely vague and broadly encompassing. Having said that it isn’t required to even disclose persay.

There aren’t a lot of cases of employers going after an employee unless you directly rip them off or rip off even a part of their valid IP you create. Though if you plan to take VC money at any point they’ll want to see that waiver even if it’s unrelated. If it’s open source there is substantially more leeway.

I’ll let the commenters argue the pedantry. As for OP that’s a very conservative bootlicky answer, every employer has standard boilerplate language against it, you cant filter it out but you can negotiate it away. It’s not an issue usually it’s just some lawyer covering his bases.

Edit: and as a side note California is special in the sense that our economy and brain power is massive. The courts know this and are very worker friendly in this regard. If the lawyers and employers had their way with their insanely restrictive contracts it would severely stifle competition and economic growth/health

2008 is remembered by most through phrases like “trickle down economics” and “bailouts” to the irresponsible men who built the house of cards, including “golden parachutes”. In other words, whether reasonable or not, a very large number of people don’t feel great about how our flexible monetary supply was made use of. Bitcoin is literally a direct reaction to that (e.g. view the coinbase for the Bitcoin genesis block).

Newer cryptocurrencies have more sophisticated governance structures than Bitcoin (see: Tezos). Some of them could allow for an elastic monetary supply. The downside of these systems is that it takes a lot of work to properly encode the specific set of rules which decide when to increase the supply, and how to distribute the new supply. The upside is that these rules actually exist and are unambiguous.

Read the first part of the what I wrote and read what I was responding to: OP was asking why use stable tokens if they don't have any chance of appreciating in value, and my response was to show that you can put your capital to work in crypto even if you stick only with stable currencies.

In no point I am saying that what I am doing is "just as safe as a bank". And when @kobasa pointed out that it is indeed possible to have above-average returns given the information asymmetry, you doubled-down on your assumption and implication that I either (1) don't know what I am talking about or (2) am somehow being dishonest.

Frankly, you are being quite offensive and reading only whatever confirms your worldview. This is not the way to keep a conversation.

The one thing I regret about this is that IE11 was stable. By 'stable' I don't mean 'not crashing', but rather stable as in 'fixed feature set'.

These days, sites and apps that support FireFox/Chrome tend to test only on latest versions. Which come out frequently and can and do break things. Supporting IE11 means it works in IE11. Supporting FF/Chrome means it mostly works in the latest tested version.

If devs were more aware of Firefox ESR version and tested against it, we could have more stability again.

On the flip side, nearly 100% of PoW mining hardware is manufactured in China. They could easily play geopolitical games with the west in that regard.

There is also a very delicate game to play if you're trying to hack a crypto for your own benefit. If a crypto network gets hacked it is likely to lose a ton of value and reputation. That's why ETH fell by 60% after the Dao hack. So you're really shooting yourself in the foot by being a malicious actor.

He's arguing that it already is buggy, and I agree. The fact that select doesn't work on more than 1024 fds is terrible. It's incredibly easy to break things by changing the limits. Bumping FD limits is extremely common. I'm honestly surprised I've never run into this first hand, but perhaps I wouldn't have noticed even if I had.

Sure, Lennart is perhaps the Antichrist of Linux, but I'm pretty positive he's the Antichrist we need.

The long-lived fear of breaking existing code is certainly valid, but at the same time, why not try and see what will break before we write something off. It's often not much. It's practically the only way for us to shed the crufty bits, and boy are there a lot of those.
I know Ansible has a huge number of fans but I am genuinely curious about the future. That is, I've been trying to figure out where ansible fits in the bigger picture of the modern trend towards IaC. Is it in conflict with that because of its semi-imperative nature? Or is what it does an essential piece of how IaC needs to work to do declarative infrastructure management? I see that for example you can use ansible within terraform. Do people really do that and is it useful? Or is it something you would only do if you have a lot of legacy infrastructure already configured via Ansible.

Curious on the general take here.

Good comment, don’t know why you got downvoted.

I will say I disagree about fossil fuel being cheapest though. The data show we’re at the inflection point now such that new renewables are cheaper even than natural gas and coal. That is very likely to get even cheaper.

I think the real exciting and interesting challenge is how to adopt society to energy that is incredibly cheap and abundant BUT not necessarily stable. Batteries are the most obvious and likely best solution, but are there other adaptations that we could make?

Consider, for example, and two-priority grid: your house could have one circuit that it “interruptible” and may cut off during severe shortages, while a second circuit is uninterruptible and powers things like your heating in the winter. This is just an idea off the top of my head, but there are many many other things that we could potentially do to adapt.
> But 5% isn't, and can absolutely derail a project.

Precisely.

Do you know something about byte order? Can you set or reset a bit? Can you check that your if-statement conditions are exhaustive?

Those are from a second-year class in most CS curricula. And I have seen people programming for 10+ years screw them up. Horribly.

I have seen 10+ year programmers use "addition" for "logical or". And it works, mostly, until it doesn't. And it creates mysterious failures that they can't debug because they don't even have the concept that they need to hypothesize correctly.

Most of the people whining about this stuff are whining about whiteboarding things like "graph algorithms"--and they're right. That's a stupid thing to test for since you rarely use graph algorithms unless you use them every day at which point you'll come up the curve anyhow.

If I'm interviewing, I can ask really simple questions like the "set a bit" or "change from network to machine order" and still get the information I need. If you know the answer, that tells me only one thing--you've probably programmed enough that you hit it. I'll keep increasing the problem difficulties until you don't know the answer and have to think.

To be fair, if I have to wind the difficulty up to graph algorithm questions, you've likely already passed the interview long ago.

Ansible is under the GPLv3 but they say this doesn't apply to your .yml files because those are data, not code.

I think they're interpreted code. The yml has steps which aren't too different from statements.

If what the project creator says matters, the GPL has less legal meaning.

I personally think the GPLv3 does protect more than just compiled code, and that Ansible is off their rocker with the GPL.
