For the most part, I agree with you, and people should be free to choose their own death at any time for any reason (rational or otherwise), but "all your friends leaving you" may be something that can be changed. At the very least new friends can almost always be found. It wouldn't seem rational to me at least to end your life over that for most people. I can respect a person's right to make that choice in any situation, but I don't have to agree with it.
Is it really that complex compared to an operating system like Unix though? I mean there's nothing simple about Unix. To me the question is, is it solving a problem that people have in a reasonably simple way? And it seems like it definitely does. I think the hate comes from people using it where it's not appropriate, but then, just don't use it in the wrong place, like anything of this nature.

And honestly its complexity is way overblown. There's like 10 important concepts and most of what you do is run "kubectl apply -f somefile.yaml". I mean, services are DNS entries, deployments are a collection of pods, pods are a self contained server. None of these things are hard?
You are correct, nothing Intel provides in their Python distro cannot be obtained elsewhere - this is just a nice wrapper.
It's "felony murder".
For all their faults, phone numbers do provide some limited level of identity.

If you provide me with a phone number +12121234567, and I send you a unique code via SMS / voice call, and you provide the code back, and I haven't had anyone else register with that phone number, I can conclude with some limited degree of confidence that:

1) You are a human.

2) You are in the United States present, or usually are.

3) You have money and an address and are capable of buying things (after all, you have apparently succeeded in buying a phone and maintaining an account).

4) There's some prospect you could become a customer, or a vendor, and we could do business.

If you give me an email address john@example.org, I have none of those assurances, and it's entirely likely that you are not a human, or are a human overseas who is in the business of scamming people.

Sure, someone can get access to phone numbers anonymously, from overseas, or to scam people, but it's enough of a minor hassle (for all the reasons listed in the post) that they tend not to.

It's like if someone walks into your shop/restaurant in a disheveled state, unshaven, and with body odor, versus in a suit and tie and recently shaven and aftershave. The latter is rather more likely to be someone you'll want to do business with, even though there's always the feint possibility that the former is actually a billionaire playing an elaborate trick on you.

It easy to imagine an improvement on phone numbers for providing this limited level of identity verification, but email addresses aren't it.
Yes it is. The same thing applies to both domain names and IP connectivity. You have to pay one of the small number of domain name providers / transit providers to register / transport your domain / BGP announcements for a regular fee. Sure there are multiple registrars / transit providers that you can deal with, but each TLD / region is overseen by a monopoly entity that can increase prices pretty easily. If you don't pay your registration fees for use of that unique identifier, you lose it.

I can get E.164 numbers for $0.85/month from a VoIP provider, which is comparable to the cost of a domain name. There are plenty of VoIP providers that can port phone numbers from landlines or cell phones to VoIP. There are more similarities to domain registrars than differences.
It also seems to open much larger files than other editors will handle without breaking a sweat. Not my daily driver but I keep it for those files.
This is still orders of magnitude longer than our distance to the Roman Empire. We've gone from no flight to space travel in 150 years and you're worried about 50 million years.
A successful programming language is rarely ever something that stands on its own. It’s usually the byproduct of a corporation or some sort of organized committee. It gains relevance through a growing community or standardized through some sort of committee.

To answer the question shortly, programming languages aren’t very profitable. There are so many of them in competition with each other and so few that companies can adopt and base their recruitment around.

Tech startups usually thrive from apps, services, or valuable technologies. Not yet another programming language.
Carbohydrates – 15 Easy Ways to Reduce Its Intake – Yoga Health
Everyone knows that if Earth climate destabilizes then life on Mars or the Moon is science fiction. We need the Earth's climate to stabilize and that requires lowering consumption and population.
So much about your comments strikes me the wrong way. The meaningingless faux-inspirational second paragraph first of all. The empty platitudes about "exploration". You say "It's how we survive as a species. It's what's next.". No!! We are facing massive problems due to overindustrialisation, overproduction, misalignment of incentives basically. We should focus on the (comparatively easy, but still very hard) task of keeping our planet habitable, and to find ways to conduct our affairs in a sustainable manner, rather than dream of idiotic outlandish ideas of Mars colonization...

And you say:

>I personally don't care that these billionaires are spending their money on vacations to orbit.

See, that's where the whole problem lies. The problem is precisely that our current economic system allocates massive amounts of power to these people, and therefore allocates massive amounts of labour and resources to their vanity projects. The problem is that it concentrates power in a disastrous way. Like it allocates talented engineers to ad-tech and yacht-buliding rather than water purification projects or renewables. Like it allocates thousands of people to staff 5-star hotels to serve the whims of 10 or 20 billionaires and saudi princes, which could be serving 10000 children at daycares or 10000 seniors at nursing homes. Etc etc.

I guess what I mean to say is this, and I apologise for the off-topic tone that my comment took: the insane thing to me is how you simply take this very arbitrary, very non-natural way of organizing economic activity and production, and accept it as completely inevitable, in fact you don't even stop to be critical or skeptical of it, hiding it beneath the simple phrase "I don't care how they spend their money". The true triumph of neoliberal capitalism seems to be making itself look as natural and inevitable as the air we breathe.
> having working knowledge and being able to hack into the OS when needed.

I'm going to parrot the GP: "That's what I expect from someone who graduated from a serious CS/Engineering program."

I know there are a lot of really bad CS programs in the US, but some experience implementing OS components in a System course so that they can "hack into the OS when needed" is exactly what I would expect out of a graduate from a good CS program.
It's not so much about the area, although some areas lend themselves to more abuse. Obviously humanities are important. The problem is the bad incentive system and the irrelevance of the resulting research.
Wonder how long it will take for them to give him a job offer.
I'll be presumptuous and say you don't get many calls, understandable in this day and age.

If not, think you need to push for increased regulation or enforcement wherever you live if that's the case. Elsewhere regulation means it's sort of an identifier and fundamental changes to the role of domain registers would be needed to make email a feasible alternative.
Benton's acts were worse? In what way? Viola "anonymously" called Muslim people scum (not really anonymous because she used her work email and exposed info about her location / job). He called her out, in a very public way. Kinda hard to feel sorry for her, to be honest.
Junior developers are terrified of their application running slow, and not having the technical aptitude required to debug and fix the performance problem.

Additionally, Junior developers do not care about data integrity (the customer's problem), or operational complexity (the SRE's problem).

Finally, Junior developers consider software to be much like bread. Older software is bad (such as SQL relational databases), and newer software is good (NoSQL).

Combine all three of these flawed systems of thinking, and you have MongoDB adaption.

... also before Kafka, the defacto queue broker was ActiveMQ, which was a pain to deploy, so many people used Mongo as a queue.

I think the point of the blog post in the OP is that it should be a bunch of bash scripts with very few interdependencies, because most of the requirements in the grandparent comment are independent of each other, and tying them all together in a tool like kubernetes is unwieldy.
> The architecture of SMS more or less precludes this

Maybe a particular technical representation does, but that's not a strong expression of whatever case you're trying to make. Nothing about sending text messages using phone numbers as identifiers necessitates or demands insecurity. Signal uses phone numbers as target identifiers for text messages too. Nothing about the phone number has any bearing on the rest of the chain. Nothing about sending messages necessitates sending them insecurely. Nothing about sending messages to phone numbers necessitates it being easy to steal phone numbers.

You could write three separate articles titled "I think all text messages should use encryption" and "I think I should be able to have my own identifier/namespace" and "I think it should be harder for someone to steal my identifier", but those issues have nothing to do with each other. And not only is only the most pointless one (choosing your own identifier/namespace) addressed by using email addresses, you're still living on borrowed time at the whims of domain registrars and DNS.
Goes to show that the GPL is a fantastic source of revenue for law firms. I can only hope that they don't settle and we get a court ruling that offers some legal interpretation of the GPL.
the difference is that overloading works on compile time types but dispatch works on runtime types. This matters because when you write a generic algorithm, you don't know the type, so don't get the right behavior with overloading (you get the generic fallback).

Desalinization works just fine--if you have an ocean nearby.

In California, desalinization plants keep getting built and will eventually be able to handle the water needs of people near the coasts.

However, there is no way desalinization can ever support farming. And that's 80+% of the water consumption.

Either you shut down the farms now or when the water runs out--that's the only option.
I don't know why anyone uses Helm. I've done a fair amount of stuff with k8s and never saw the need. The builtin kustomize for is simple and flexible enough.
You're right, the name of the company or FAANG-ness doesn't matter. I didn't claim only FAANG sponsorship matters, but it is important and even more important, the amount of $ does.

I also never said it wasn't "real" sponsorship or didn't count. Don't put words in my mouth. I said it isn't a level comparison.

> any company sponsoring Rust other than Mozilla

Mozilla? never heard of them. I only know FAANG apparently /s

Also, Ocaml has supporters such as Bloomberg and Mitsubishi. Not exactly mom-and-pop startups.

Again, I'm not exactly sure what you're arguing. I'm literally a sponsor of Crystal. I put my money where my mouth is.
> “move the schema into the apps”

Exactly. There is always a schema, there has to be. It's just a question of whether it can easily be seen or if it is buried in a thousand places in the code.
It was technically inferior in many respects, but mostly not ones that mattered. I ran OS/2 2.0 and 2.1 for a while, and it was dog slow and consumed massive amounts of memory compared to Windows.

The main selling point of OS/2 was supposed to be that it had preemptive multitasking and protected memory, which was supposed to make it much more stable compared to the (constantly crashing) Windows 3.0/3.1.

The problem was that the Workplace Shell (the GUI) had some sort of single message queue that could be blocked by a misbehaving program. This would cause the GUI to hang. While it was true that the system would continue to task switch, and you could even telnet into the machine after this happened, from the console, the system was completely unresponsive, so it was functionally equivalent to the OS crashing.

IBM as an organization didn't seem to understand what features were actually relevant to normal users and prioritize them. It could do a bunch of things like smoothly multitasking multiple DOS apps, that were technically impressive but not that important to users.
I top this with an incredible guy from Nigeria who learned programming using feature phone with J2ME.

You can use toolchains with notebook software, provided

a) the notebook has an internal text representation that can be version-controlled, and

b) the notebook follows a spreadsheet-loke paradigm with incremental non-mutable data structures, so that all state is represented consistently at all times (no dependence on what order you've run the cells in the current session).
Here's my particular story, but I'm sure there are many other people who were burned in ways that are similar.

I used to pay for a programming language, Turbo Pascal, which then became Delphi. Then Borland went crazy and started pushing C++, and raising the prices as their focus was lost. Eventually they were sold, and the prices went up, and up.

Never again will I be locked into a vendor with a profit motive.
Clubhouse Is the Big Stinker That Nobody Wants to Talk About
As you said if there is a "that guy" in a neighborhood you'd feel unsafe and Airbnb is displacing those people. It's a trade-off. Its not like this about adding units to a neighborhood but specifically that there is less community if that's the case there are lots of Airbnbs (they said in the article that noise complains and crimes leading to rowdy behavior did not change).

If someone was on the fence about whether this community effect is real - after a single study - wouldn't knowing if 5% of units are Airbnb's are rentals versus 40% be enough to change your conclusions? My prior is that a community cannot be eroded by 10% of unknown people since that is standard for any tight-knit neighborhood anyway.
In the UK this is how they planned to fund social care. Taxes would be collected when you sell your home but "levied" earlier.

It was labelled the Dementia Tax and was deeply unpopular.
It’s an overused phrase because it’s so often true. The analysis acknowledges the possibility of confounding variables but only makes a weak attempt to address it, using demographic info, income, and homeownership rates. This is the definition of a correlational approach. And to make matters worse they throw in some hypothesizing about Airbnb eroding the ‘local social dynamic’.

‘Causal linkage’ is great in theory. In reality it often shows directionality but not causality. This is a prime example.
We are closing in on enough storage and cheap cameras to easily store a lifetime from at least one vantage point.
The more relevant question is: who is backing them and what do they hope to get out of this lawsuit? I wouldn't be surprised if this is paid for by some venture fund and that they are seeking financial compensation of some sort. I call BS on them trying to somehow helping the open source community by dishing out lawsuits. It's rather doing the opposite. Anyone using GPL-licensed software is going to be dead-scared to get sued by some copyleft fundamentalists.
Probably because new weights are the only thing they brought to the table, rest of it was just stockfish so it didn't hurt business interest to reveal generic stockfish source, once people realised Fat Fritz is just stockfish.

In terms of GPL violation, I think if you are serious about the subject, you should simply shoot a mail to FSF, I am sure they could get back with something definitive. Personally (and IANAL) I do not believe in this case there is any ML specific nuance. As I understand, GPL demands you reveal source code to the full extant where it can grant its users the ability to recompile the software themselves. To that end, you can't omit any critical source file, because then the program doesn't compile. From this perspective, the model file is no different from any source code file, its absence renders the software un-compilable. Editing the model would still be same as editing source, thus still falls within GPL.

However, I don't know what the implication could be, if the model wasn't baked into final executable, and instead was loadable at runtime.
That sounds like knative
Why Apple’s walled garden is no match for Pegasus spyware
Give users the option to keep using the "familiar" interface, but without any "support". I suspect many user actually require "support" because of interface changes.

IME, observing other users, it is the forced change that is offensive to some. They do not complain about "lack of support" (many want to be self-suficient and do not want to keep asking for "support"), they complain about changes that they see as unnecessary and that will just require more effort to learn.
Only Fans Was Able to Pay Creators $3B Dollars
The AirBnb "effect" has directly led to increased home prices. A home turning a profit thus becomes more important than how its guests impact a neighborhood and community. Ignoring or spinning the social costs is a primary goal of Airbnb's PR machine. It has made many neighborhoods more transitory (i.e. less homesteading, more short term rentals). Acknowledge the social costs to community and it's not surprising to read that violent crime rates are trending up where AirBnbs thrive.

> Software has been around for longer than aeroplanes

Huh?
>This is why I abandoned Mac and Windows..

For what? Linux is even worse on that aspect.

First for the OS GUI (Desktop manager, finder, launcher, and config apps) - both Gnome and KDE and Canonical and others have the tendency to remake it (usually worse) every few years and every major release. Then there's the fact that key things keep missing in action (like image preview in the file selector in Gnome iirc).

And that's for the core desktop (launcher + config apps). It gets worse with regular apps. Some being GTK and others KDE/QT based, some use bizarro or legacy frameworks, some with custom cross-platform UIs that kind of match the look of just GTK apps usually, and so on.

Sure, as you did, you can always go with a minimal setup (just some terminals and a very simple window manager), and that will stay stable, but that's really retreating from UI, not a holy grail of stable UI. And it doesn't include your UI apps (which suffer from what I described above).
Not even close. The labor and materials cost far more than the land.
The vanishing neutrinos that could upend fundamental physics
Musk's contribution to EVs isn't just that he brought them to market, but that he made them a highly desirable technology. That it's "cool" and "hip" to own an electric vehicle, something that everyone else up to this point had failed to do. Like you said, "carnival barker style."

Yeah, the reality is that the big car manufacturers are going to be the ones to commoditize it because they are experts in commoditization and manufacturing processes that Tesla still struggles with today. That may have even happened without Tesla. But I am confident that Tesla has accelerated the adoption of EV and I think it's fair to say that in this sense, yes, Musk absolutely is "bringing EVs to the masses."
Actual medication and healthcare services (especially mental healthcare) are not always affordable or accessible in the US. Recreational drugs are everywhere though, so plenty of people turn to them for whatever degree of relief those drugs can provide.
Notebooks don't need to be online. You can run a local notebook same way as you run a local IDE.

The most significant difference is that the notebook always has runtime information about how the available information is being processed, while the IDE only has this information available while it's in debug mode. The first model provides much more information about the system behaviour, easier to access.
I read that a bit differently. They noted that typical tourism related crimes did not usually increase but other crime did.
I see, I reacted on a other comment and I can't delete this one.
I know you said travels metaphorically but I'll point out that you pretty much can't travel without a phone number right now. It's absolutely required even for the vaccinated for contact tracing purposes on most modes of long distant transport (boat, plane, train) and for hotel stays and at border crossings. It's not at all optional. I'm currently travelling (I figure since I'm vaccinated I'm not being unreasonable by taking a holiday right now). Every flight and hotel has required a number.

The author may as well live in the woods in a faraday cage with a tinfoil hat at this point.
And everything about this is a million times better than E.164. Whereas you pay for a number from a VoIP provider, this does not make the number "yours". Domain names are registered in one's name (and sometimes traded for substantial amounts of money). There are certainly things that could be improved about the domain name industry, but it's still better than the E.164 situation.

The number you get from a VoIP provider is also at substantial risk of being in a "ghetto", whereby it mysteriously cannot receive verification code SMSes, or is discriminated against by tech companies who want a "real" number, etc.
