This is not true anymore for many recent SMR HDDs. They have a translation layer, just like flash storage.

This is because for SMR HDDs, each block can either be SMR (higher density, EXTREMELY SLOW WRITES like <10mb/s possible, erases will remove multiple blocks just like flash memory), or normal (standard density, normal write speeds).

The controller abstracts this away and does writes as normal, but while the drive is idle, the controller in the background, converts these standard blocks into SMR blocks.

This is also why SMR HDDs support TRIM.
Is that for everyone or the Unemployed that you have to register to be a part of with terms & conditions? Because Estonia also gives healthcare to the Unemployed, but you have to be signed up at the job agency and I think you have to have had a job recently. If you don't fulfill some other criteria you can be taken off the list.
When we lived in the US, we only had a single child and said No More. That single child nearly bankrupted us in medical bills. You’d have to be irrational to have a child in the US, be very rich, very poor, or have great health insurance.

Since moving to the EU, when we explain to people how much our child costs, their jaw drops. If the US wants more children, they really need to solve the medical costs problem.
That just sounds like a toxic work environment. I recently moved from a toxic job to a non-toxic job, and despite working on similar tasks the difference in my overall happiness has been night and day. I don't think you have enough data yet to know whether the entire field is a bad fit for you.

Systematic barriers are seldom built consciously, yet they exist and without conscious effort to break down continue to be perpetuated.

Put more generously there are limitations to the apple development ecosystem and frameworks, and limitations to web frameworks. Combined you combine both sets of limitations - which encourage the developers to throw their hands up.

Guix combines the specification language, API, and base distribution into a single monorepo. This makes it a bit like the linux kernel in terms of scope and ability to adapt and update itself without external dependencies. My understanding was that this wasn't quite the same for Nix, and that's led to some trickiness in the way that the project evolves. What do you think?

As a user who occasionally makes my own packages for software deployment, I can learn very quickly how to write a package description by grepping through the guix main repo and looking at how other packages are written. That's probably similar for Nix, but it's something that I found refreshingly clean and flat in guix and I'm frankly hooked.

Reading a lot of comments on this thread, I see many that are oblivious and out of touch at best, and disingenuous at worst. I'm 22 and I've been living with my parents my entire life; I have an Ok salary living in London, the reason I haven't taken the next step of moving out is because financially it doesn't make sense. I could get a place tomorrow and have that independence, but I won't be saving anything, and I'll never be able to a mortgage, I'll be renting for the rest of my life. I'm going to have to live with other people anyway (house/flat mates), so why not stay with family instead? I save on rent, its a good deal? Many of my friends and cohorts are in a similar position, in a large major city like London living with parents until 24-25 is completely the norm.

Our generation has it the worst. Entry level jobs are harder to get, entry level pay is peanuts compared to living costs, accommodation costs are through the roof, and for many of us the dream of owning a home is just that, a dream. So colour me less than surprised to see young men living at home when an entire generation has been disenfranchised by a society that doesn't give a rats ass about young people.
I second @codewithcheese here. I am really sad about what is going on with the open source maintainers. So much of our modern machinery is created by them yet (almost) every company simply uses the software and gives nothing much in return.

There are impactful people in there and I have gradually started going back to these communities now. I wonder how we can create an system where small/medium businesses are directly aware of the empowerment through software and they want to financially contribute to the development. There are millions of small/medium businesses around the world, they are the backbone of most economies and are more directly involved in the social structure than unicorns. Start the conversations and you will find a way to bring the change you want to see.
so it seems that the better paying a field is the children of parents in that field are more likely to choose that field as well.

on edit: by paying I also mean all the perks you get as well (just as when I negotiate on a job I also negotiate the perks), when you're growing up and see you have a pretty good life that would be something that might attract you to the field your parents are in. So academics might not get paid as much as the private sector but at the higher levels there are some pretty sweet perks.
Taxing everything doesn't work. Rich people will just leave the country while alive and still pass on their wealth to their children. It's as easy as buying a painting and hanging it in your kid's house.

Uh I think only the consumer protection, benefits, and social protection are clearly true (taken out of direct pay).

Rule of law and happier are debatable.

Productivity seems false if you define productivity as economic output versus just a redefinition of self-rated relaxation on the job.

At a certain point it gets incredibly subjective like which country's citizens are more awesome.

And honestly good on you for being in the EU and liking the EU more. I'm sure a lot of people in the USA feel the same about the USA. The entire point of democracies is that people should change their government to their liking.
If VCs making money is your definition of a successful tech scene you sir or ma’am are utterly lost. You think Jobs or Gates were sweating over VC returns instead of drooling over the innovation and egregious wealth and cultural change they conceived?

In Italy, that’s law because there used to be/is (don’t know which is true) a culture where, some/many cafes and restaurants let some/many visitors pay ‘under the table’, dodging VAT taxes.

That law requires shipowners to give a receipt and customers to keep it.

Masculinity can create its own suffering. Men and boys have been brutally mocked for showing emotion or wearing pink. Men have an insecurity about buying products or services that are too femininely branded, so an asthetic procedure is called a detail or an oil change or some garbage. My dad would only give me manly hugs with a forceful pat because kissing your son goodnight on the head just isn’t right. I’ve found forum threads where men agonize about wearing a women’s sized version of their favorite running shoe, and even the ones willing to do so may only do it if the colorway exactly matches the men’s version.

I know women who have little choice but to say they have a boyfriend when they want to turn someone down at a bar, because saying ‘sorry no thanks’ gets them insulted, harassed, covered in beer or assaulted. Women that turn a guy down on a dating app will be called names and told they were actually unattractive the whole time.

Yes, women are not immune to being violent, petty, deceitful and cruel, but men are terrifying on an entirely different level. If you consider yourself a nice guy, you might be somewhat oblivious to how pervasive it is.

Things may be a lot better if there's an official mechanism in an organization for delivering the "I told you so" message, because as hurtful as it might be there are a lot to learn from those kind of people.

In the Japanese corporation, japanese culture seems to drive old experienced people's pride high. It's not a wrong or a right thing. It's just the social mechanism, and once we know that we might be able to leverage from it.

In the end, the game in every organization is not just about being right or doing the right thing, it's also about power, authority, influence.

I’ve realised recently how much of conspiracy theories are wishful thinking - theorists actually desperately want them to be true.

It's strange but true. I live in the UK and I think I could get paid 3-5x more in the US. But even though I'm annoyed by that pay gap, I will never work without healthcare and only two weeks of PTO.

At least job satisfaction doesn't change, I work with startups that interest me and I get to hack on a stimulating open source project. I'm just healthy while I do it.
“No big companies” is a fine policy for things that don’t require a lot of money to innovate on. A small business will never be capable of producing anything like the iPhone for example. Pushing the envelope on tech is very expensive and this is where Europe’s current model doesn’t work.

If it’s just companies reselling existing things or incremental tech (e.g. grocers, telecoms, utilities, airlines, etc), then smaller companies are nice.
Yep. A lot of people who’ve been hurt by racism in the past, engage in loose pattern matching. If the story is a police officer shot a black person, to many it’s automatically racism, despite whatever the facts are.

That said, I’m black btw, the problems in the black community are not down to any one thing, but certainly the lack of two parent households is a biggie.

I was fortunate to grow up in California with two parents who could afford to send me to a private school.

Even absent more government intervention, just having more stable households will do a lot to fix the inequalities.

There's a lot of bashing of Nix language, but frankly I don't think Nix really is a problem. The language is fairly simple.

What might throw people off is that it is functional (which applies to Scheme/Guile as well).

I think the biggest problem of Nix is that the area it covers is so vast and because of that it is suffering from not having enough people working on it, which also affects the quality of the documentation. I don't know where Guix is in this area.

Regarding the language being dynamic, I recently found that there's work on making a typed language: https://github.com/tweag/nickel

Perhaps it can solve this problem.

Next you're going to say that telling people to wear masks in a pandemic is cliché, or that professionals should stop telling companies to focus on cybersecurity, because that's a cliché. Repeating things that are true and extremely important is critical. You can't just hand wave it away with "it's a cliché so it's not important".

So in ISP world, EU has better offerings than most of US, though US had a good 2020 when it comes to download speeds: https://fairinternetreport.com/research/usa-vs-europe-intern...

However, upload speeds are still a joke in the US - I can’t buy more than 35mbps up, period. That comes with 1gbps down (in reality that’s never stable, so more like 800-900mbps). At previous home I had options of two providers with one offering symmetrical 1gbps fiber - that’s fairly rare in US.

Costs are another issue - US ~$61 per month, OECD average is ~$37: https://www.broadbandsearch.net/blog/internet-costs-compared...

Now this is mostly services innovation, not telecom tech itself, but still has very tangible benefits to consumers and barriers to operating a business.

I’ve always loved this summary of how the market goes back and forth and how the one constant is change.
If you remove the bay from the equation, the US starts looking much more like the rest of the world. I now live in Copenhagen Denmark but still maintain a decent network in the bay. The difference of culture is astounding.

More than anything else the bay created a culture of innovation and excellence that cannot be found anywhere in Europe. That it happened to be the bay area that became this hub and not eg. Copenhagen, while not a coincidence, is still somewhat arbitrary.

If the great minds of the bay collectively moved to Europe, I feel very certain they would be just as innovative in Copenhagen as they were in silicon valley. EU's most innovative and bright minds move elsewhere to be part of a culture where they feel at home. Until they decide to stay and help cultivate such a culture in Europe, there will be little innovation.

No offense, but that stuff's pocket change to the actual economies of the EU. It's a redistribution of wealth without having to admit that's what it really is, and if it scores a success, great.

It's very easy to forget that there are only 3 countries worth talking about in the EU economically, previously 4, but the UK leaving basically took 20% of the EU's GDP.

Now there's France, Germany and Italy, and everyone else is basically irrelevant, although you might just include Spain or Holland.

But not caring implies some kind of tradeoff. If you don't care, just don't add the feature! Obviously they do care if they knew that their almost identical competitor did it and put was an issue, but decided to add the feature anyway.
"I told you so syndrome" may be a normal thing. I once read a psychological paper talking about "one's willingness to make personal sacrifice for making other people feel remorse and learn when they make mistake" or something along that line (Shame I can't find the link nor remember the exact title)

"I told you" is a social sacrifice I suppose.
I agree completely with @tjohns first point, if you're calling out UX as a top point then you really should have screenshots. You should have screenshots anyway.. I dislike having to download something just to see what it looks like. Not having screenshots just makes the barrier to entry higher.

Second point, you really need to make sure spelling is correct (i.e. "celluar" should be "cellular"), that degrades the perceived quality of the product. If I see spelling mistakes on the landing page then I assume there might be other kinds of mistakes... like in the codebase for instance.
The difference is that "toxic food" directly implies food that is poisonous.

"Toxic masulinity" has no obvious or direct meaning. It's a made up term. It's marketing. It itself conveys no useful meaning other than to associate masculitity with toxicicity.

To tie such a negative term to any other social/gender group would be called out as the biggotry it is.
I've used PostgreSQL in the first two scenarios and would love an opportunity to in the third. It's worked really well and hasn't caused any problems under decent loads.

The one feature of Redis I'd love to have supported in PostgreSQL is to be able to set a TTL on a record. On a recent project where we could only save personal data for so long, it was a must have feature so we had to use Redis for that purpose instead.

> I also wonder how many women chose to have 4 kids.

I guess it depends how far back you go. Prior to child labor laws, having more children resulted in more family income. They could work on the farm or in factories, etc. In those times, childhood mortality was also high. So you may have had 8 kids but not that many would make it to adulthood.
