Not that it justifies 2.4 GB but the products are very different. One is read only while the other is everything you could ever imagine wanting to do with a PDF. e.g. Infranview is expected to be significantly smaller than GIMP too.

For the most part that's perfect though. 99% of the time I just want to read a PDF so I just use the PDF reading tool not the PDF everything tool. That being said signing/form filling does bring me back to other solutions occasionally.

Nix is likely a nonstarter because as far as I can tell it does not natively support Visual Studio and MSVC.

I suspect Bazel was ruled out because it requires the JVM and it has limited open source uptake relative to CMake (huge open source userbase), and Meson (limited presence in open source scientific software, but adopted by GNOME and systemd).

> consume so much energy that we give birth just before a women's metabolic limits would otherwise be overrun

Since babies traditionally breast feed and thus survive solely on the mother’s energy after birth, this explanation doesn’t seem to hold water.
Shorter video.
Years ago I saw a talk by someone leading the "innovation department" of a large national police organization in the EU. Her main point: the quickest way to kill innovation (or reliability, or performance, etc) is to make a special team that "owns" that area. This is because it signals to the rest of the teams that it is not their problem anymore, because "after all SRE is responsible for reliability".

On the other side of the spectrum, the main problem with "Everyone owns X" type initiatives is that often nobody gets measured on X but they do get measured on their other responsibilities. The predictable result is that all those smart and driven people you hired will realize that spending time on X will not get them promoted but neglecting it does not cost anything.

Better deepfakes also mean less make-up related skin harm on artists which is a huge leap for the industry.
Except for actual slaves who are still around and who are worked for no compensation and endlessly abused to no end. I think this statement is highly insulting to people who are real slaves these days. Corporations do mistreat developers for sure, but to claim to be a slave is beyond laughable.
Totally agree with this. We'll just end up with more waffling long form content packed with videos and distractions to encourage users to spend more time trying to find what they were originally looking for.
> At the time of their release IE4-IE6 have been the most standard-compliant browser

At the time of their release, Opera was the most standards-compliant browser. Beyond Opera, I'm not sure where Firebird, KHTML, etc. stood relative to IE4 specifically, but IE5.5/6.0 were well behind most contemporary browsers (lets exclude Netscape shall we; it was in crisis at the time and promptly discontinued). Opera, KHTML, Firefox and Webkit all passed Acid2 long before IE (IE8 was the first version).

It's worth remembering that Acid1 was released in 1998; IE6 was released in 2001. So this wasn't a time before web standards and cross-browser compat: they were very much a part of the discourse at the time. A discourse MS largely refused to participate in.

> Back then all browsers had unstandardized behavior, there was plenty of Netscape specific and IE specific hacks. Some of them were intended as EEE, some of them were result of weak standardization or mere technical limitations of their respective architectures.

That is true, but it was largely due to bugs other browser makers were working on fixing. The EEE had a heavy influence on MS' motivations to get fixes out (whereas with Safari there isn't really any evidence of any EEE being present).

A good counter-point is XMLHttpRequest. It was non-standard mainly because "AJAX" was a new-ish idea and standards didn't exist. There's good arguments that Microsoft's engagement with standardisation efforts of AJAX APIs was non-existent/actively-hostile, but at the end of the day the various APIs they implemented were pretty easy to detect (even the ActiveX variants), and generally could be targeted in a very cross-browser-compatible way.

That was very much the exception to the rule though: the majority of pains were layout related, and involved not extra nor missing features, but rather features that were in common with other browsers that were deliberately implemented in a different way.
> We had whole versions where it was basically stuffed

A co-worker asked me "uh, why does the app use 120GB for indexeddb?"

Wildest bug I've ever had to deal with. Unfortunately it wasn't even just a safari issue.

Any side effects from the vaccine also apply statistically higher, for anyone who gets infected. Death is not the only adverse outcome from covid.

The antibodies may be long lasting, but they are more specific then the ones that get from the vaccine. You're protection is not comprehensive against mutation with the vaccines.
Is the distinction meaningful in the course of reaching a settlement? Both parties agree on the facts at hand. I suppose you could make that case were the judge to make the determination on the basis of evidence, but the Tether folks signed the agreement of their own volition with the NYAG. At that point the evidence shouldn't be in question - and hence the standard isn't in question - simply their admission, no? Ok, not an admission, maybe an acquiescence.

I would say the evidence in a settlement or plea deal would be of equivalent quality whether a criminal or civil trial.

Further, I'd suspect the majority of folks who accept plea deals in criminal matters don't end up in prison either.
Eh, maybe. People watching cinema "know" it's not real, even though propaganda is a thing I guess. Deepfakes won't alter anything with regard to that though, whether it's a deep-faked actor, a CGI monstrosity, or just a look-alike actor in makeup.

although you are right about video 'evidence', editing, cuts, and carefully muted dialog can alter things to the point of being the opposite of what was being filmed - an unprovoked attack can become self-defense or vice-versa, etc. Again, deep-fakery is just another tool in that unsavory toolbox, not anything paradigm shifting.
I think the problem is, the work (on computers) is never done. It takes months for me to say, "well, I got that wheat harvested" (in computer terms). There's always some more bullshit, so you can't just step away; more is always waiting, and you're always blocking someone somehow.

The way we make money digitally does not map to a practical, dynamic life. We need to re-structure what "work" is, what it is we are trying to accomplish, and how.

"Software" is much more than just ability to write a small BASIC program.

I have "been in software" for quarter of century and I am still constantly learning as if I was beginner.

Though having been able to write even a small BASIC program may have had an effect of you appreciating the work of a developer just a tiny little bit. And this is not given -- I have seen in the past many CEOs having no appreciation whatsoever and this leads typically to disrupting developer work and underutilizing their abilities. Then when everything starts to fall apart management blames problems on developers rather than try to understand what caused these developers to fail.

This is the government scraping the barrel to find any positive spin it can regarding the reef. Now there's more global attention, it might be worth reminding/informing others of fairly recent government involvement regarding the Great Barrier Reef: [1]

The Great Barrier Reef Foundation board has strong ties to fossil fuel interests, it has six full-time staff, it is set up as a "charity" and its main function appears to be to reallocate money to other organisations. Its operations are not subject to environmental regulations under any state or Commonwealth legislation and if the Foundation contributes to a major environmental disaster, it can be wound up and its members (directors) are each liable to a maximum of $100 towards any outstanding obligations.

The unsolicited allocation of $444 million to this shop-front venture appears to have been made without discussion, legitimate tender or evaluation.

Yes, you’re right. I’m sure the archeologists have very high confidence about how life 30k was years ago, when disability, a dry summer or a shitty winter, childbirth gone anything other than perfectly well, or a bad encounter with a predator meant death, was so much easier than your tech job making $300k to move your fingers a little bit.

Any survivalist will tell you how much of their downtime is around tool prep, shelter setup, clothing repair, etc. etc. Some future archeologist might conclude tech people only work an hour or so a day because that’s all the time spent actually typing code, but that’s not to say your work hours were truly limited to that time period.

It’s true that the weeks spend huddled in a cave, when it’s snowing outside, without a good source of food and water, and absolutely nothing you can do about it, counts as “not working” but it’s not clear that means leisurely frolicking and fucking.
Yeah, this is a stupid thing that stems from a sound shift in Ancient Greek about 2000 years ago, when Φ changed its pronunciation from [pʰ] to something like [f]. We have all kinds of evidence of more or less when and where this happened, but not why, although it's a thing that's happened in other languages too, where a phonetic distinction that's originally aspirated/unaspirated becomes a fricative/plosive distinction.

English has this stupid policy of keeping the original spelling of any loanword it picks up, gradually drifting closer and closer to being an ideographic script. In this case English got its Greek morphemes by way of Latin, where they'd mostly already acquired standard spellings based on the older pronunciation. In Spanish, which has a phonetic script, it's much saner: "panel fotovoltáico".

Maybe we should start calling them ΦV panels.

> I would not believe in anything they promise.

This is exactly my point – there's very little trust needed because Apple can verify/audit one company far more than they can the millions of registered developers.

I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm saying I can understand why they did it, why it works, and that it's likely possible to do safely.
It's a difference in philosophy for the most part. Google are an advertising company first and foremost, they'll do whatever is best for the advertising industry and to Google allowing every Tom, Dick, and Harry on the web to shove notifications in people's faces is great. Apple take a more paternalistic view, they see that push notifications in the browser as a feature that's often abused and so remove it entirely as to protect their user experience from annoying behaviour that's outside of Apple's direct control. Notifications originating from apps in the App Store in theory can be vetted much more closely and removed if they're deemed to be spammy.

Neither is intrinsically right and I think it's good that there's choice, what's winding me up is this idea that everyone should adopt the Google model unquestioningly as though Google are a standard unto themselves. I'm very much in the Apple camp, but it's not out of any love for Apple and more that I don't like the advertising industry and want to keep it as far away from my life as I realistically can. To me push notifications are like popups in the '00s, yes there's legitimate uses in limited cases but abuse is so widespread I'm going to treat every one as guilty until proven innocent.

Just looking at their GitHub, they have an ridiculous amount of 7000+ open issues (5k on Web, 1k on each Android and iOS). Assuming they'd use a generous 1/4th of the money to fix outstanding bugs, assuming no duplicate bugs, and assuming a 100$/hour salary for the developers, they can spent on average about 10 hours to solve each bug (30000000$/4/7000/100$).

> There are all sorts of minor glitches

This is true but it's true of all software. And they tend to get fixed in patch releases (rather than waiting for a new major version). Even for bugs the Webkit team leave open for years, I think there's a big different between maintaining major incompatibilities in central features for years, and being slow fixing some edge-case glitches.

> “Maybe I should be allowed to assign priorities to different notifications and then have my phone automatically proritize what makes a "ding" based on the time of day or my geographic location. Maybe notifications should be throttled in some way so that every 30 minutes I receive a digest of notifications if there are any. Maybe they should be aggrigated till I have 5 accoumulated. Or maybe these are all terrible ideas because they require configuration and users aren't going to spend the time configuring their notifications.”

It's amazing to see the drive of "I know what I want to make and I do it the way I want" carry the project for so long. More than any development ideology just having the passion to continue working on whatever it is you're doing is an extremely powerful force for creating useful software. And SumatraPDF is definitely useful software, has been for a long time.

"ideology doesn't matter as much as doing" being said the syntax valid semantic invalid error at the end of this excerpt in the section on extensive tests being overrated gave me a chuckle:

> Dogma is powerful. Sometimes in my corporate life I felt like writing tests was just going through motion. Maybe we should spend more time writing code instead, I though?

In all seriousness I agree though. In a project where you write the majority of the code it is possible to overdo tests in a way that you are wasting more time than you're saving yourself and in a passion project efficiency isn't always as important as interest anyways.

Together with the lack of copyright transfers, it just guarantees the code will always be available under the same license. There can't be any re-licensing of existing code without twisting the arms of every single copyright holder. No more, no less. It gives nobody an exclusive control point. It gives nobody exclusive rights to exploit.

So, yes, Amazon can spin up as many matrix servers as they want. And so can MS. And so can Google. Maybe that wouldn't be such a horrible idea as they have mutually incompatible products that loosely overlap with the matrix feature set; those things interconnecting would be progress. Email is doing pretty OK decades after MS tried to embrace and extend via outlook and exchange. Federated communication networks are nice.

So, that's a feature not a bug.

My experience is that Kickstarter and Patreon combine nicely. Patreon lets my wealthier fans fund the process of drawing whatever weird shit the Muses ask me to draw; Kickstarter helps me get all my fans together to make sure I have enough pre-sales to pay for a print run of a graphic novel or art book or whatever. And no, I don’t draw pictures of corporate characters getting it on.

Kickstarting the funds for the entire creative process of a thing is risky as fuck. Scope creep happens. External events happen. It’s become the norm in some fields like games but it is risky as fuck no matter how many projects you have taken to completion.
> Although I am a techie, I’ve grown away from associating with tech. It’s my 9-5, but afterwards I want to talk about anything else.

One thing to consider (numbers perspective, not emotions) is opportunity cost of $2800/month for say 5 years vs. living somewhere with a lower cost of living. If you are living somewhere where renting is $1k/month then over 5 years the difference is $100k.

Surely people in every major and mid-size metro area make friends, have romantic relationships and eat sushi. If you have no ties to SF and see yourself disassociating from tech then there are a lot of options to look at. Sushi on the coasts is probably better than sushi in Oklahoma, just a guess on my part though.

OTOH if I had signed a CLA, then your company would be within its right to entirely strip any attribution to give whatever license they see fit to the code I wrote.

In the UK deep in the countryside there are miles and miles of twisty single track roads. In Cornwall in particular they have high walled sides for some reason, and are just wide enough to drive down. All the time you are praying - please don't let there be someone coming the other way. But they do. As you were driving you took note of occasional deliberate passing places but also entrances to fields which would also do. Coming face to face with another car, one of you decides there was a passing place not so far back and reverses back 100 yards (now the prayer is please don't let there be someone following me). You reverse in, the other driver smiles and thanks you and you go on your way. I think that will need a level 6.
