Oh come on.

I speak more Russian than I do French, but even I can recognize the wonderful culture and je ne sais quoi that comes with Quebec and French Canada's influence on Canadian culture. I'm happy that they are here and that the government has measures to support their voices that would otherwise get lost.
I didn't make this claim, so I can't really help you out there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Isn't no root a giant scam for not allowing you to actually own your device?

Seconded, it's a good machine and everything works well with linux.
> The data which comes back consists of cryptographic attestations; no user data.

I'll be honest, I have no idea what that means, other than data going from the Brave browser going to the Brave Ad network. And I cannot see or verify that data. I don't want a browser that is a browser and an ad network, in which case I don't need Brave.

I'm interested in how you define 'user data'. Do you mean PII? In my opinion, if I interact with the Brave web browser and Brave creates a log of that then that is 'user data', its not browser data or advertising data. PII is one kind of user data. Data I enter into browser windows is another kind of user data. My interactions with the browser, as generated by me the user, generate user data too.
Sure, but I meant that it won't materially affect the finding of whether infringement occurred, willful or accidental.

> I'm curious to see where performant ruby goes in the midst of Crystal

Crystal is a statically typed language, so the traditional performance considerations about static <> dynamic languages apply. AFAIK Ruby is also particularly hard to optimize, due to its very dynamic nature (pretty much every concept can be changed at runtime).

> Crystal is very fast and quite efficient for big things

It can'be currently said "very fast" about such a young language; it will depend on how much manpower will be put it in the long term. Parallelism is not even yet stable, which is a considerable factor.

I personally think it as a pleasant language to write small tools/scripts. If parallelism would have been implemented from day 1, I would have actually used it.
TongFang makes several laptops with AMD Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics that work well with Linux for well under uiur budget. The PF4NU1F is supposed to be a good one.

https://laptopwithlinux.com/tongfang-pf5nu1g-amd-ryzen-is-no... sells a version under $800 USD.

There are many other companies selling rebranded TongFangs with various configurations and prices; spend some time finding a good one.

An even better option is to buy used/refurbished. Used ThinkPads are a solid bet. See if you can find someone selling laptops nearby, in your area; you'll be able to hold/inspect/use/open it before you buy.

If you're not using Windows/macOS then avoid Nvidia. Handling their driver issues is a nightmare. With Intel and AMD, you basically never have to think about drivers.

For good official support, Lenovo officially supports upstream Fedora on some of its laptops. System76 and Slimbook are other good options for "official Linux support", but System76 can be pricey. TongFang laptops have a community of Linux users to help, but you won't get much "official" support.

For a very low-budget ARM laptop, the Pinebook Pro is a great option with lots of community support. Don't expect to play 1080p video on it without a few framedrops, though.

One of the biggest battery hogs is video decoding/encoding. If you plan on watching online video, your device should ideally support good hardware-accelerated VP9 decoding. AV1 might also be popular in a few years. That would mean that Braswell-and-older Intel chips are out.
Unfortunately System76 gear are rare in Europe, I was not able to find any second hand or new online.
> Android has gotten way better at having phones with the stock OS locked down hard

eeeeerm, no. It didn't get better at all. It basically wiped out a vibrant 3rd party android development culture by making it extremely hard for them.

The date isn't really meaningful since it can be set to anything on a file. But if you can force two dissimilar files to have the same hash, you can combine that with some other attack to inject it into some sort of chain of trust, whether it's git or some other type of checksum based system. Then combine that with a SolarWinds like attack and even if they try to revert to something from years earlier, they can't guarantee that the rollback files are still unaltered unless they had multiple hashes to compare it to or diffed it manually. But multiply that by X thousand files over Y commits during Z years and it would be very difficult to detect.
I think if you actually asked a hundred people on the street if they'd clean a house in return for $1000 in a year, they'd have the street smarts to smell a rat, wonder why you can't pay once the cleaning is complete, why it would be any different after a year, and run away as fast as they can.

I'm not sure why developers can't follow the same line of reasoning.
You didn't make any claim. You just described that some people have it worse.

Some people on this Earth have it way worse than most african americans in US. But what's your point?
Makes sense. My employer actually issues Thinkpads to employees, maybe I can ask for a second hand one that they have decommissioned.
These books are good, especially the last one by Stevens.

Three things helped me a lot to learn more about systems programming:

(1) the reading of existing systems code, especially (i) from a book called Dr Dobb's C-Tools, which includes a C compiler, assembler and linker as well as many command line tools and (ii) the Minix source code. It was the code in this book rather than K&R or Stevens that let me "get" systems programming because I needed to see the bigger picture, and many books only show small code snippets.

(2) the study of other people code; if yo; au have access to a C guru, it's really helpful to just peek over their shoulders for a couple of hours as they implement a new module and then debug it (thanks, Gero and Rolf!) - thankfully, there is a new trend of people recording coding sessions and putting them on YouTube, so more people out there can benefit from experienced hackers e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-7VQwWo2Tg . And, of course,

(3) implementing a non-trivial low-level component. For me, this was having to implement the buffer management of a relational database management system in C from scratch as an exercise in my undergraduate degree (we were given 6 weeks, but not full-time, as lectures were going on at the same time). This course, Systems Programming II, was as beneficial as it was gruesome, but I'm grateful to excellent line-by-line pencilled feedback of one tutor that read the complete code and commented every missing return value check etc.
Do you have a source for that? I couldn't find any mention of that in the Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoxetine#History), and it seems, from the history I've tracked down, like SSRIs were specifically developed with an intent to treat mood disorders.

There does seem to be a combination drug that includes prozac and olanzapine that's used to treat psychotic disorders. It's been on the market for a while; maybe that's resulted in some confusion?
Arch is great for desktops and laptops because it’s rolling and always up to date with upstream. Install it once. Update it once a week. Never have to do anything else. They also have a user repository where they pretty much have everything. There’s nothing on my laptop that isn’t version controlled with their package manager.

Ah you're probably right that it was at Microsoft. My brain must have forgotten the first line by the end of reading the comment, among all the other Amazon specific stories in this thread.
That is a good point. I guess a better way of saying it is that I assume (or hope) most people are behaving mostly well most of the time and at least in the short term interest of most people.

This is also an assumption that is a luxury due to me living and growing up in a stable and prosperous country, and I can certainly see different circumstances producing different mindsets.

But I also think there is plenty of good being done by organizations (at least the ones I’m familiar with in the US) to justify giving them some benefit of the doubt.

So, no, not necessarily stabby.
I suggest you consider the warranty as well.

My Razer laptop works fine with Linux, but their warranty specifically states it holds for OS it came installed with.
Multiple people reported Razer support demanding payment once they discover they had duel-booted Linux.

So either buy a laptop with Linux pre-installed, or be prepared to be "on your own".
The link you pointed to mentions how hire managers are looking to hiring as many good people as possible. Of course they are if so many people are being fired.

It says that managers who don't perform well will be out. And that was the reason given for why this practice doesn't happen. Wouldn't the existing employees know the system better and be more valuable? Unless you want to get rid of someone it is better to keep your existing staff. Team members can't help the new person because them doing well would mean putting yourself at risk. It is setup to be toxic.
True and superstars like him are often guilted into taking less than their true value so the team still has enough to pay other high quality players.

I've also used a (2014) x1 carbon with Linux for a long time and can recommend that series. Just not the 2014 one, as it has a crappy touch bar instead of hardware F-keys. But the Linux support is great. I've often thought about upgrading, because of the non-standard keyboard layout, but the performance is still great so I can't really justify upgrading it yet. I bought it for around 1k euro back in 2014, so I think you'll probably find a later generation for less.

It's a great laptop, the only drawback is the fact that the memory is soldered on the Mainboard along with the CPU, so if it breaks or you want to upgrade, you'll be out of luck. My memory did fail after 2 years and 10 months, but I still had 2 months warranty with on-site replacement, which was great. I think they lowered it to 2 years now, and no on-site support, so keep that in mind. It's a real trade-off.

This seems like an interesting solution to the "what to do if my battery runs out in the middle of nowhere" problem.

Normally, you'd either have to have to call a tow truck or have someone with a generator come along and recharge. However, towing for awhile (probably at much less than 70 mph for safety reasons) to recharge the battery enough to get to the next town is something that could presumably be done by just about any passing car if you have a tow strap (which could be stored in the EV for such an occasion).
I suspect the k in kWh leads to the occasional factor of 1000 error.
I used to think Patents had their uses.

I looked into just the fees to file a patent, and it's for middle class, upper class folks, institutions, and companies.

The poor guy tinkering around in his wood shed is not filing patents.

Maybe not throwing out all patents us a good idea? I don't know, but an American citizen (low income) all fees shouid be eliminated.

I would like to see a limit on patents anyone can file, or a graduated fee structure?

1 patent free. (low income. $300 everyone else)
2 patent $500
3 patent $500,000
4 patent $1,000,000,000

This would at least limit those guys patenting round corners?

I had a mystery illness. I kept a 4 page sheet of symptoms and what helped hurt.

One doctor read though it and correctly diagnosed the mystery illness. (Sjogrens) Later verified.

Turned out the line that caught his attention was that symptoms always eased up when I took doxicyline. This 80 year old doctor had seen that enough to pick out the illness.

There is some minimal research into the topic but in general it’s a taboo subject and no doctor will consider a round as a test to see if it will help.

I never said that criminal prosecution is the only way there can be repercussions, it was just the obvious factor in the examples OP gave. Aside from civil prosecution, it is perfectly reasonable for companies, schools, etc. to enforce their own rules - so long as they are made clear from the outset and enforced as evenly as possible across the applicable population. The problem with social media justice is how unpredictably it is enforced, which is part of the problem I was describing where we can't just make things retroactively illegal at the drop of a hat. "Illegal" extending to actions that are forbidden by an organization for example, not just the US government.

Mobs on Twitter absolutely do decide things. Yes, a company or school or whatever has to be kowtowing to said mob for there to be "real life" consequences, but in a number of cases the mob has absolutely acted as the jury. This is something that OP was literally praising.

> ?!?! How much bandwidth do you think it takes???

I'm not OP, but latency matters more than bandwidth in this case.

More specifically, the variance of latency matters. It's easy to grow accustomed to a constant 500ms delay, but it's incredibly difficult to deal with the random delays you get when you put a packet-switched network atop a high latency physical layer.

Housing can either be affordable, or profitable, not both. Affordable means that the price of a house remains stable relative to inflation or wages. Profitable means it has to grow faster than inflation or wages. Everyone needs somewhere to live, therefore housing should not be profitable. You shouldn’t be able to make a tonne of money by just buying a house and sitting on it. Investing in housing should mean improving existing housing or building new housing.

Here in Australia the government is talking about letting young people access our equivalent of their 401k to afford a deposit on a house. Without changing the supply of housing how is this anything other than another attempt from boomers to steal more wealth from their children so they can line their coffins with more gold.
I gave up my team lead role when I realized that my employer was giving me next to zero support either in terms of being a better manager (it was my first official team lead role) or for the primary project my team was supposed to be building.

I can't fault my manager too much, because although he was not very effective, he was pretty supportive. It was the VP level and up where the failings really showed up.

I asked for and got the OK to give up the team lead role while retaining my title and salary, transitioned the team lead role off to a person with fewer years of experience total but much more time at the company. After that was done, I worked for a couple of months longer to see if the project-related problems would get better. No fault of my replacement, really. They didn't, so I left voluntarily.

To avoid such things being changed remotely, do not connect them to the internet (or allow it to receive telephone calls), and ensure that the people who are working there will manually monitor the water so that even if someone does tamper with the computer or if the computer fails due to some reason other than tampering (touching the computer is not the only possibility of failing), it can still be corrected without too much delay.
Really!!! I am surprised to hear this. I always thought that Google is akin to "Chocolate factory" for programmers where programmer is the king and each and every decision is made by programmers. In my circle, Google is considered to be the final nirvana and a Software Engineer badge the ultimate status of "you made it in life". Even I found their coding interviews so damn hard. In my opinion, they are at least 5-10x notch harder than interviews at FB, MSFT, AMZN and other tier-1 places for comparable level.
This is why it's really important to go over your offer letter in detail and potentially even use some legal counsel. Besides companies being straight up malicious, there's a ton of ways companies can simply produce typos in the official offer letters. It's worth triple making sure the details are correct.

We try to help with this wherever possible through our negotiation service at https://levels.fyi/services/. You'll be surprised how many times a recruiter might've misheard something on a phone call and it transfers over to your contract with the company.

> “Find My”-style devices will help tighten up the mapping of the physical world to enable augmentation — really this is part of the platform substrate, but the same tech underlies a key bridge between physical and virtual.

The section has good stuff in it, but to me it came off as me-centric, as about high end experiences like VR, accurate spatial systems.

And that feels like it's a very different piece of the platform than what I was talking about, which is beacons that we can leave for each other. Getting to a bar & having the menu advertise itself. Art installs that come with interesting mini-sites on the browser, or which are cross-media. QR codes are the closest thing we have today, but QR codes require very explicit intent to use, and I've long been interested in the promise of more ambient computing, of seeing the numerous micro- / edge- clouds about me, & seeing what they might offer.

I didn't get any of that from the Find My. I'm looking for Find Your, I guess. Or Share Mine. Which Physical Web did, which Apple's iBeacons continue to do.

> The goal is to validate and associate a legal entity with a developer account, not a domain name.

I'm saying that goal has failed. Setting up a company has a low, fixed cost for bad actors and there's plenty of malware signed by EV code signing certificates.

> not a $10 domain name

IMO domain names are worth a lot more than $10 once you start building a brand on them. For example, cars.com values their domain at $800 million dollars [1]. Obviously they couldn't sell it for that, but that's what they consider the brand value to be.

I can start a "legal entity" for much, much less than the value I attribute to my domain. For small developers and good actors, I think being able to build identity around a domain based brand would be useful.

Or, if it's _really_ about accountability, all code signing certificates should be issued to individuals who have validated their identity through a notary. And not using the terrible system the current CAs are using where some poor bastard in a developing country is expected to verify identity documents from a bajillion different legal jurisdictions.

I guess I just hate the high pricing and terrible, terrible product that code signing certificates have become.
