I want to add that all of this is a side effect of the commoditization of the operating system. The OS is now effectively irrelevant; a personal choice which doesn't limit one's options at all, other than to set a course for the add-on products and services that become available.

In a commodity environment, all choices are functionally equivalent. Corn from this supplier can be used in all the same ways as corn from that one. Because of this, all units of a given commodity tend to be priced the same at the same place and time.

Operating systems are now a commodity with a price of free. Microsoft hasn't charged anybody for Windows for years, and neither does Apple charge for its OS or upgrades anymore. Those used to be a big part of those companies' revenue. What changed?

Both Microsoft and Apple started making more money from services than from licenses. Even when sold as an "Enterprise License," the real product is not the otherwise-free software, it's the support you get with it that enterprise customers must have to keep the lights on.

Since Linux was always free, the profitable Linux company (Red Hat) got into that business of selling services and support right away. The other side of this business for MS and Red Hat is hosting. For Apple, who was never good at hosting, they got into selling music as a service and made enough money from that to make OS income irrelevant.

So we have reached the point in personal computer history where all operating systems are free commodities with zero-to-few distinguishing features between them. The users' choice rides on their comfort level with the surrounding environment, the specific tools they can or can't use, and the products in which they have sunk costs -- existing things that have to keep working. Those are the things that MS is selling to with this Linux push. Keeping folks on the Windows juice.
Interesting. How exactly that looks? Do you have files opened in your editor, change them then go into previously opened repl, and just call the functions and the new version of those function runs?

You never know about these very old products. It might be built on Python 2 or something that the company is trying to turn down across the fleet. There may be no one left at the company who knows how the app is built, etc.
The problem is the percentage of wildly incompetent applying for your job is a lot higher than the percentage of wildly incompetent overall.
I recently had the opportunity to take apart somebody else's MAC battery-operated impact wrench, and found it was exactly the same as the DeWalt one on my bench. It's just molded in red plastic instead of yellow. The advertised torque rating is slightly higher than the DeWalt, so maybe there's a subtle component difference in the (epoxy-potted) motor control module. I hope the guy didn't pay too much extra for it though.
Sure, but Chrome then introduced Chrome bookmarks rather than just using what already existed.

Yup, consume now, profit some this quarter. Nevermind putting in the effort to invent new technologies that could profit and dominate for decades.

It is exactly the myopic financialist's approach. It works great for a while, juicing artificial growth. Meanwhile it starves the real growth engines, so when it stops working, there is no hope of recovery before failure (but the finance wizards have by then moved on).

Normally this applies at the scale of companies, but here it applies on the scale of nations or societies.

Ignore at our peril.
Are you willing to be more specific? I come from a pretty middle-class background. What financial stressors do you have?
That has not been my experience. Frankly, I think it’s just that Israel is a more polarizing issue, so it gets more discussion. Reducing our military adventurism has a much broader base of support among non-elites.

I principle I agree with this . However , if companies really believe there is zero tolerance for security issues , the only way forward is to, no matter the cost, proceed forward with a way that will minimize security problems. Otherwise we are just paying lip service to security .
I think Julia being an HPC lang despite dynamicity has nothing to do with being close to lisp in some regards.

I didn't use the language but the overwhelming community consensus I get is that performance is out of the window once you truly embrace dynamic (type-unstable in julia parlance) code. Julia performance depends heavily on the compiler being able to infer a single type for variables in the hot loop so that it can specialize the used functions to it then get out of the way. Julia is not a Fortran-speed python, it's a language that can be _either_ Fortran _or_ python, depending on how you write it.

Lisp influences on julia are more for semantic power than performance.
I get that more from my local NPR affiliate than I do PBS.

Which I think is perhaps appropriate, if we've got to make a choice between the two. Textual media are a somewhat smaller jump from radio than they are from TV, and also, at least in my area, public radio is already doing a lot more local journalism. The public television station has a fair bit of locally produced programming, but most of it isn't really journalistic.
Yes! Still scary. The realism of it is alarming to this day.

This is actually true. A bad hire, once in the door, can be very expensive and time consuming for an employer to rectify. This is what leads to all sorts of weirdness like “contract to hire”.
Utter total fucking bullshit.

(a) You seem to be under the impression that Republicans would sit still for a reasonable network with "conservative" opinion viewpoints. (That was the original Fox News pitch.) What makes you think so? How does that network avoid turning into Fox News over time? The outrage and fear mongering is why Fox News gets massive ratings.

(b) You seem to believe the 'the media is liberal' trope, and that's wrong. It's always been wrong. Can you name an example? For fuck's sake, the press is largely responsible for depressing Gore's turnout in 2000, and Dukakis's in 1988. (Respectively, the crimes were being boring and looking goofy in a helmet. They made fun of them on the air, during ostensible news programs.) What exactly do you think conservatives actually wanted that they weren't getting from the newscasts at the time? I don't think the anchors lead with "Heil Satan" on NBC Nightly News.

(c) Yes, Fox News is still a huge problem. https://jabberwocking.com/yes-fox-news-deserves-the-blame-fo... for a discussion.

(d) Fox News and the myth of the liberal media both exist because Richard Nixon and his followers were unable to take legitimate criticism. https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/why-fox-news-exists
I’m pretty sure you can just open the battery pack up and disconnect whatever circuit lives in there. The batteries are just packs of chemicals.
> it becomes attractive (and safer) to deal more in the pseudo-work than the actual work.

More charitably, they feel this work will make the product better. That may or may not be true, but if you've been involved in failures and part of the after action review was "this person should have been consulted because they are the expert in whatever failed", that becomes part of the process. Pretty soon, this refactoring and consultation becomes expected, and so on until we're at the point you are speaking of.

And I say this as someone who is part of the problem. I have unfinished projects right now that are stuck in meetings and consensus building. I want, at minimum, to be able to say, "you were given the opportunity to participate in the process, but you left it to me." but I've also made mistakes and poor decisions for lack of those steps more than once.

I have no doubt that there are people avoiding failure by not shipping, but I do not think it is as simple as that, there are a variety of cultural norms and experience colliding here.

I was thinking along the same lines so it's interesting to see that others have come to the same conclusion.

IMO, large parts of the tech industry are artificial and fueled entirely by monetary policy.

If reserve banks in the west stopped expanding the money supply, large parts of the tech industry would be wiped out; they would quickly be revealed as negative-value industries.

With limited autonomy over their own global monetary policies, this was the only way China could fix this problem.
That’s exactly something companies have under their control. If people are leaving because it is seen as the sure route to a promotion, then perhaps providing clear advancement opportunities internal would reduce this phenomenon and help keep your high performing talent.

Proof of higher incarceration is not proof of unequal application of law. Additionally, sentencing takes into account past actions of the individual.

Did they commit more crimes?

Additionally if the whole racial bias theory is true (i don't agree that it is) then why should be incarcerating blacks less? I think the appropriate response would be to incarcerate white people more often.
Cool stuff. I remember seeing liquid cooling solutions that immersed the entire system in some non-conductive fluid, like mineral oil. Of course, that's a bit messy, but I wonder if all components were designed to be immersed, whether it'd be feasible to consider the entire server enclosure as the watertight unit, e.g. in a rack, rather than hoses to individual servers.

Extending DACA’s Protection Creates Jobs and Tax Revenue for the U.S. Economy
Yeah, in fairness the steam controller had its perks. I didn't see the appeal of the two pads, but it was the first I can recall to do half/full pull triggers. Their customization also allowed you to do some crazy things. Personal favorite of mine was setting the gyroscope to act as right joystick, but only while zoomed in. This let you fine adjust your aim with about as much precision as with a mouse.

In the end though every game had to be translated to the controller and there was always enough of a change to make it feel unintuitive. If Valve had paid an intern to go through the top games each day and make official layouts for games that roughly lined up with each other I'd probably be using one now.

Right! I made the dumb, typical error to write: "You simply do not have that in a static world." When I should have written: "This type of expressiveness is not available in mainstream statically typed languages".

With "freely composable" I mean that you can program with these schemas as they are just data structures and you only specify the things you want to specify. Both advantage and the disadvantage is that this is dynamic.
When I worked at CompUSA, our door greeter did pursue a shoplifter who pushed him down on the way out, resulting in a sprained wrist. They ended up firing him because the explicit policy was not to pursue shoplifters for the very reason that risk of injury is too high.

I learned a lot of basic retail stuff at that job, like the fact that, for emergencies, all automatic sliding doors have to be capable of being pushed open. It seems like all the shoplifters knew it, there were a few times I saw someone bang straight on through them.
Attention: Downvoting me? You should respond instead or at least additionally. I don't care if my points go to 0. Don't turn this place into a Reddit hivemind.

This appears to be your logic: It's OK if we destroy our planet with global warming and create conditions where a good percentage of humanity could be harmed because portions of humanity have previously created harm and exploited others throughout history.

This seems like "two wrongs make a right". The end result won't be a right.
Thanks for the personal insult.
Google doesn't even have the worst track record of the top 5 tech companies.
It's like trademark but instead of:

"only this company can decide who can use the trademark"

It's like:

"only if it's production fulfills certain criteria can you use the name"

It's made as a consumer protection so that people can not just claim their product is this kind of "traditional" product when it isn't. Except that it's less used like a consumer protection as it's mainly used like a trademark. Controlled by a small group of people and directly profiting some regional government/economy.

Most commonly it requires the main ingredient to come from a specific region (also e.g. used for Wine or Sect).

EDIT: I kinda did throw different regulations into one explanation here.
I hope one day you can find enough simpathy to feel sorry for any good person who commits suicide regardless of how hard you judge their life to have been.

Since I finished college I was on a interview loop. I'm so tired, at this point making my own company and freelancing seem more reasonable.

I don't understand why there must be 4 different persons asking me the same questions just so in the final to give me a lower offer than we previously discussed or to ghost me.

I had a bad opinion about HR when I was a student and didn't work based on how a few of my friends and family treated, now that I'm looking for work and have to deal with their bullshit daily I literally started to hate the people working on this dep and their lack of respect.
