... weirdly, the ones who adopted the sternest and most terrible Old Testament moral
tone were the Modern Language Association types who believed that everything was
relative and that, for example, polygamy was as valid as monogamy. The friendliest
and most sincere welcome he'd gotten was from Scott, a chemistry professor, and
Laura, a pediatrician, who, after knowing Randy and Charlene for many years, had one
day divulged to Randy, in strict confidence, that, unbeknownst to the academic
community at large, they had been spiriting their three children off to church every
Sunday morning, and even had them all baptized.

Randy and Amy had spent a full hour talking to Scott and Laura last night; they were
the only people who made any effort to make Amy feel welcome. Randy hadn't the
faintest idea what these people thought of him and what he had done, but he could
sense right away that, essentially that was not the issue because even if they
thought he had done something evil, they at least had a framework, a sort of
procedure manual, for dealing with transgressions.

To translate it into UNIX system administration terms (Randy's fundamental metaphor
for just about everything), the post modern, politically correct atheists were like
people who had suddenly found themselves in charge of a big and unfathomably complex
computer system (viz, society) with no documentation or instructions of any kind, and
so whose only way to keep the thing running was to invent and enforce certain rules
with a kind of neo Puritanical rigor, because they were at a loss to deal with any
deviations from what they saw as the norm. Whereas people who were wired into a
church were like UNIX system administrators who, while they might not understand
everything, at least had some documentation, some FAQs and How tos and README files,
providing some guidance on what to do when things got out of whack. They were, in
other words, capable of displaying adaptability.

"Yo! Randy!" says America Shaftoe. "M.A. is honking at you." "Why?" Randy asks. He
looks in the rearview, sees a reflection of the ceiling of the Acura, and realizes he
is slouched way down in his seat. He sits up straight, and spots the Impala. "I
think it's because you're driving ten miles an hour," Amy says, "and M.A. likes to go
ninety." "Okay," Randy says, and, just as simple as that, pushes down on the
accelerator pedal and drives out of town forever.
One thing I immediately noticed is how much better neovim's built in terminal is when compared to vim! Vim's seems very barebones, afaik doesn't even support 24 bit color. Neovim meanwhile uses libvte IIRC which means it's a full on terminal emulator. I can run nvim inside nvim inside nvim and everything still works just fine!

You're overthinking it. The average consumer will just read the big text on the package, ask a shop assistant or a friend.

You'll have different sections in shops, "fast charging cable", "fast transfer cable", or "fast charging AND fast transfer cable" (with a price to match)

Or stuff like "supports connecting a TV", etc.

People will understand that there are different cables for different jobs, because they understand that a universal cable will be way more expensive.

Some USB-A to micro cables charge way faster than others (thicker wire). So this supposedly new USB-C problem is actually not new at all.

It's very surprising the talent pool they're pulling from to me as someone that doesn't have training in physical engineering beyond control systems and computer vision. Two of my friends who received Chemical Engineering degrees and were advancing in their careers at Exxon are now working at SpaceX with higher salaries (but no pension) as well as a couple friends from college who were in Systems Engineering. All of these people I'd classify as very good engineers as they have all been very high achieving in their fields in college and professionally. Oddly enough both sets are married. I wonder if that's a hiring strategy.

edit: now that I've thought more about it Chemical makes sense since they have chemical rockets and they both have industrial scale manufacturing experience.

Anti-Vax are also a minority, and we should block them. I guess his intentions are to make the spread slow enough so the target of harassment could respond before being piled on OR for doctors to respond to Anti-Vax claims fast enough. So maybe a reach of 1K/Day would be a better approach to slow down harassment while allowing minorities to speak up (and the compromise is that it will take more time for their voice to be heard).

Well technically the way I understand it, all the law should be enacted and enforced everywhere.

This is a classic 'culture is not important, doesn't matter' line of thinking. Cultural products influence people a great deal. Especially when they are young.

If monopoly power is influencing culture, the way it can with any industry by incentivizing low-quality or bad pricing, then it should be to some extent over-seen.
Fair question!

The two that I know of currently are Nix and Guix. Both target fewer platforms than Pkgsrc, so we know right out of the gate that they're not suitable for all Pkgsrc use cases.

The question of what they depend on needs fleshing out before it can be answered. Both Nix and Guix package software in a way that is, in general, hermetic. This means that they don't assume the installation of anything outside their domain— they don't require you to have anything installed on the base system to get going with them. They don't use your system's shell and they don't use your system's C library. As an exception on macOS, Nixpkgs allows some impurities for some macOS packages, e.g., they are allowed to call xcodebuild. But in general, they include their own toolchains in their entireties. So if what you're getting at is ‘where do they depend on the base system during operation’, the answer is, more or less ‘nowhere’.

If the real thrust of your question is rather ‘what do you need to build them from source’, the answer, for now, in both cases is ‘a bunch of shit that they kindly prepackage for you in a binary tarball, if you want to bootstrap your own Nix or Guix on a given platform’. Guix has been doing a ton of work to reduce the size of their bootstrap seed, and it seems like within a few years they'll have it down to a hex monitor from which they can build a series of Scheme interpreters and C compilers until they have the whole system.

If the main thing you're asking about is ‘what do they use internally to process their package sets’ or something like ‘what's the minimum installed size of these package managers’: for Nix/Nixpkgs you need the Nix language interpreter (written in C++), plus at least what's packaged in the ‘standard environment’ for Nixpkgs (GNU bash and coreutils, plus a libc and a C compiler which vary by platform); and for Guix you need Guile, an implementation (interpreter and runtime) of Scheme. I've never worried about their installed sizes, since they're much smaller than the total size of everything you might want to install with them.

Idk the size of the full dependency closure for Guix and I don't have a great way to look it up at the moment. In the Nix case, the binary installation tarball is ~17 MB compressed and ~72 MB uncompressed, when you install it.[1]

Happily, if Pkgsrc is easier to get started with due to its smaller footprint, it looks like in the future users will be able to use Pkgsrc to install Nix.[2] :)

(For my part, I wouldn't mind if Nixpkgs included Pkgsrc, too. I wish it included Guix.)

Why bother? USB will remain dominant and there's nothing to be gained from the millionth iteration of the argument.
The 'malicious' bits are typically covered by good shareholder agreements, the ones with teeth in them. Angel investors that intend to 'do tricks' tend to bail out when they come across terms like that so a good shareholder agreement not only serves you well for the shareholders themselves but can also serve as a filter for prospective shareholders. Of course the more angel investors you have the bigger the chances that you draw someone who does not have your interests at heart. So you will still need to vet them, the easiest way is to contact founders of other companies they've invested in. With a lot of first time angels flooding the scene this is of course not always possible.

A good way to deal with having a lot of angel investors is to create a separate 'angels' vehicle where angels participate, this vehicle then participates in your company.

That way you have all of the benefits and none of the drawbacks of having a lot of smaller early stage investors. You can roll your 'friends and family' round if you have one in there too.

Edit: Ah, the author mentions the 'roll-up' vehicle at the end of the article. Good.

Can you use the iPhone? Does the message persist? That’s pretty disconcerting. The vast majority of Apple users within distance of an Apple store will already go to Apple first and foremost for repairs. Pretty sad that they are fighting this hard against a small minority of their user base or people in countries without Apple support.

I’ve taken a few MacBooks from friends over the years and did the basic repairs needed to fix them again. Usually some minor corrupted computer part. Hard drive being the most likely. The over priced repairs with Apple who don’t even want to deal with older computers, or their partners, are crazy too.

Without any personal context, this stance appears very "baby meets bathwater". In particular, I'm not sure I see anything about this particular situation that renders it purely a problem of CS research. What makes other fields (presumably) immune or less predisposed to these kinds of issues?

Your position also paints CS in very broad strokes; in my experience, the only commonality between some subfields of computer science is that they use computers. Graphics, hardware architecture, programming languages, networks, and so on, are all essentially loosely coupled with their own organizing communities and directions. Some of these subfields are more closely tied to mathematics or electrical engineering than strictly to other parts of computer science. If there is an incurable "contagion" that afflicts all of these, I must admit it hard to believe that this contagion would not prove (if not already be proven) effective beyond the artificial confines of the term "computer science".
It's made sense to me that "estar" is used as a means to "localize" the subject to a particular space/time. Thus the non-permanence (i.e. "non-global") meaning of the word.
> as far as the "human cost" of wearing a mask... grow up. Asian societies like China/Japan/Korea have been wearing masks forever and they're fine

This is a racist meme that needs to die. You would see some people wearing masks. By no means did everyone wear them. Not even close.

The only people claiming that mask adoption was common across asia have never spent significant time there.
I usually just keep space bound along the lines of:

:noremap <silent> <Space> :silent noh <Bar>echo<cr>:syn sync fromstart<cr>

This recalculates syntax highlighting as well as removes highlighting on search results/etc.

Basically, whenever stuff "looks weird", just mash space in normal mode and it fixes it. The fact that I have this bound to something like space should tell you how often I end up using it. :)
I like to mix and match local and remote files in the same Emacs frame. I know they work remotely, but that'd require me to configure them in the remote - and sometimes that's a pain because Emacs versions differ, or because the keybindings I press in the terminal sometimes coincide with Emacs commands.

That's quite interesting, thank you. I haven't heard of that. My only concern with that is, I hope some app developers don't see it as an excuse to avoid using the native accessibility APIs and adding the necessary properties to their controls.

Reddit has some great individual boards, but it's not always easy to find them. This site, as well as others (https://anvaka.github.io/sayit/ comes to mind), is a nice start on making them more discoverable.

Reddit also brings to mind the old statement on UNIX - "Those who do not understand USENET are condemned to reinvent it, poorly." There will always be room for something like USENET (part of the pre-web days I miss), and Reddit is, sadly, what we have right now.

This is incorrect. Check out what the PEO has to say about using "software engineer" as a title:

You can sometimes use the title without being licensed, but you have to be careful, as it can easily be considered misrepresentation.
Negative values typically offset for instance midi output to a point prior to the point where they normally would be output. So this only works for items that have a timestamp. But a soft-synth for instance could be driven that way to anticipate a longer delay further down the chain to end up with a more neutral delay once the whole chain has been traversed.

> you can hide instructions in there and make it intractable for a static analyzer to determine whether they are really instructions or just data.

Uh, no? This is very tractable - O(N) in the size of the binary - just check, for every single byte offset in executable memory, whether that offset, if jumped to or continued to from the previous instruction, would decode into a `msr s3_5_c15_c10_1, reg` or `mrs reg, s3_5_c15_c10_1` instruction.

IIUC, the decoding of a M1 ARM instruction doesn't depend on anything other than the instruction pointer, so you only need one pass, and you only need to decode one instruction, since the following instruction will occur at a later byte address.

Edit: unless its executable section isn't read-only, in which case static analyzers can't prove much of anything with any real confidence.
