It's worse when the VCs put their own people specifically in positions of control in the government to funnel deals to their portfolio companies, and then those people in positions of control leave to then work for those portfolio companies that now have dozens or hundreds of millions of dollars in government funds. It's much dirtier than just building relationships with people before the offer goes out.
For a decade or more I start with the minimal netinstall image plus the firmware files on a usb stick.

My dotfiles and move-in script take care of basic package selection and setup. I need something else, I just 'apt install' it.

Prior to that I was distro hopping and I'd usually boot Knoppix or PHLAK, local install and update from there.

Yeah you make a good point. No idea what long term risks of covid are.

I guess I just feel more comfortable rolling the dice with a natural (maybe? Lmao) disease than a product made by the same companies that were public enemy #1 just months before they became our "saviours"
Thanks for the thoughtful suggestions on how to improve the service! I agree the service is limited without the large number of reviews of Amazon and Goodreads. One way to overcome this is to use these existing reviews as a prior (which would be more informative than the current uniform prior of 1 vote each).
You're always consuming someone else's software on it though. Being able to rip out and re-implement even parts of your OS gives you a radically different view of computers than the one you get from an OS that doesn't even let you write your own alarm clock.
Combined with a Remarkable tablet or similar, it sounds like a very powerful tool/workflow combination :D
I could not really understand the licensing/business model though. There's no pricing info easy to find on the website?
I think it was great. As someone who has tried Haskell a few times and been disappointed, it rang true. I've been working on my own pet language for a bit and wondering where to go with it, but kind may be roughly where it was going to end up.
> Apple has effectively made it easier for OSs like Linux to have good support for the hardware

Wow, that's a tall stretch of a conclusion, bordering on ignorance, when the reality is that the M1 only supports macOS! Apple fans shouldn't be blind to the fact that developers are trying to reverse engineer the M1 to run Linux on it. (And they have a long way to go before they succeed). Apple has not even published any literature that can help system developers create and run alternative OSes on it. And this is by design - the M1 (and all Arm processor based macs) are designed to be a a closed box like their other iDevices.

(Honestly, except for an academic interest, I believe open source developers are wasting their time trying to support such a useless "closed" piece of hardware, and instead should be boycotting it - or we'll end up losing control over our desktop computers too as other manufacturers move towards this model too).

> On most mobile SoCs, the display controller is just a piece of hardware with simple registers. While this is true on the M1 as well, Apple decided to give it a twist. They added a coprocessor to the display engine (called DCP), which runs its own firmware (initialized by the system bootloader), and moved most of the display driver into the coprocessor. But instead of doing it at a natural driver boundary… they took half of their macOS C++ driver, moved it into the DCP, and created a remote procedure call interface so that each half can call methods on C++ objects on the other CPU! Talk about overcomplicating things… Reverse engineering this is a huge challenge ....

Didn't Yahoo have something vaguely like this? I don't remember the details too well, just some vague memory of Crockford bemoaning how well Yahoo services were segregated from each other compared to Google.
I found that pretty much every place outside of the capital felt very safe. I think this was helped by the lack of traditional "danger" signs everywhere. This basically amounts to...all of the people we came across were busy employed in some kind of industrious activity + the ubiquitous feeling of good governance everywhere. It was quite heartening to be honest.

It was not a "developed country" feeling everywhere. But it felt safe and welcoming everywhere we went. For example, I don't recall seeing bars on windows outside of the capital. And every local who we interacted with was polite and honest. When out shopping and eating at local places, we never found we ended up with something like a "tourist menu" or something with higher prices.

An anecdote, one woman who I was with forgot her smartphone at a roadside restaurant. A quick call and a drive back and the phone was returned without any fuss.

youtube has lots of travel videos around Costa Rica if you are interested. https://youtu.be/baXO0hC2GVg

I've definitely felt less safe in many parts of the U.S.
No, moving it to a coprocessor doesn't really have an impact here. That's just down to their software stack being good.
Yes, I will make a bit of an exception to the rule and say that Southern Europeans are maybe a bit warmer than the rest.

Eastern Europe though is just the meaner, cruder version of Western Europe with the xenophobia dialed up from 8 to 11.

But then the whole sector is fed and reinforced on story telling and substance get produced but pop tech driven by fads. I don't want to be on a timeline where we distract each other and ourselves with frivolity. Let's solve real problems, not blow smoke.

1) I think more business relationships are two adversarial. And big companies get big to own their supply chain, including labor. If we were nicer to each other, paid better overall and were dependable partners, many things could get farmed out to other orgs.

We need an economic model that isn't in a war with itself.

2) Sales folks, the story tellers get too much money, make it big, become VCs, only see themselves in the world. Funding for folks creating the future should be predicated on the whims of this weird positive feedback loop.
i just took this comment as inspiration to close all the open bugs in our jira instance that hadn't been updated or commented on in the last three years. spot checking a few of them, they were all either duplicates of other bugs that had already been fixed, or no longer relevant.

I'm not sure that we really need to know all the worlds problems at our finger tips and avoiding the most disingenuous of these interactions is healthy, although I'm thinking about deleting reddit for this reason and leaving HN as my only bastion left.

Everyone benefits from the roads, it’s covered via the income tax. The fact I travel means I spread wealth. That transaction is income to someone else, which is taxed.

In a sane world, NASA would be cutting their losses and pulling all funding from Boeing around now, since it's already beyond clear that Starliner is not going be better than SpaceX's offerings on any meaningful metric.

Unfortunately there's little sane about NASA's funding and contracting process, unless you look at it from a pork barreling politician's perspective.
quoting from https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/jibe

"Jive" and "jibe" have been used interchangeably in the US to indicate the concept "to agree or accord." While one recent dictionary accepts this usage of "jive," most sources consider it to be in error.
Some software is like this but other stuff is just a simple CRUD app to sign up for some crap or other and it still overshoots budget by 2x. Which is why eng decision makers tend to always choose an off the shelf solution when it exists. Nobody has any faith that their team can deliver on time and on budget even when it’s a previously solved problem.
Hahahah, my brother and I used to play a lot of C&C growing up. C&C Red Alert as well. We would keep our bedroom doors open and yell at each other down the hallway. You’d always hear cursing when the dreaded “missile launch detected” sound effect was played.

One of the first Zerg strats was to build pillboxes around tree areas and build multiple barracks and just pump out soldiers the whole time. Send in the red army…
I think they are so far down the sunken cost fallacy its both unbelievable and a hard call to make to be honest.

I know SpaceX is capitalizing on the bad news, but they do have a history of being aggressive with the promises and hitting delays, but no where NEAR the magnitude of boeing.
I don’t have this frame of reference since taxes haven’t changed much since I arrived. And yes I have a tract house with a two car garage and hardwood floors. Nothing exuberant but I’m content. This is more than I could buy in the countries I used to live in. Yes, the European cities are awesome by comparison but unfortunately they are inhabited by snobby cliquey Europeans. I’d know because I used to be one of them.
I’m not qualified to say whether Nuclear is a viable option or not, but the level of regulation is ridiculous compared to other energy sources. For instance, every Coal plant releases more radiation than any nuclear plant is permitted to. That’s far from a level playing field.

The only problem I can recall from using UUIDs was having to write adapters for the serialization and deserialization common with DTOs because it is treated like a value instead of an object. Other than that, love them.
I read your articles. I disagree with your foundational premise. HTML is a presentation / structure mechanism. HATEOAS isn’t _only_ for humans, but HTML is.

The APIs that I built _were_ hypermedia. The only way to properly use them was to follow the links in the data. The problem wasn’t the APIs or even the software clients. It was the developers who didn’t see the point of it and ended up developing versions that broke the pattern.

If all you have to worry about is a web browser, then you can start from your foundational premise. Most of us have to deal with all sorts of clients.

"One way to think of this is that storytelling is an attempt to hack investors' evaluation function."

Or maybe story telling is more useful than you think? Plot holes represent real business problems. Suspense of disbelief can allow you or investors to see the value just behind a hurdle. Giving employees a role to play keeps their focus, even if a plot twist is around the corner.

And remember that founders don't do most of the work. A good startup has lots of people who do real work. But a founder does need to tie it together into something coherent and show the endgame. And that does appear to work a lot of the time, so there seems to be lots of evidenxe that founders telling stories is valuable, and little evidence that it's not.
Gotcha. Anyhow I did update my post a little as I thought about it. And for the record Canada isn't awful. Just kind of sad seeing it become a lot less affordable just in my lifetime (and I'm only a millennial!).
6DOF is hard to control for sure. A joystick with twist assigned to roll works well for heading, but I've never figured out how to best manage translation.

Descent has some limits on how fast you can adjust pitch which can be odd for new players (some of the ports can turn those off, but purists may object)

I have a near-photographic memory that's been tested as I grew up, and personally, it's a mixed bag.

I have a solid and clear recollection of the good, which is useful from a business management and engineering career perspective. Literature retains on the first pass, which is very useful in operations for manual/business requirements/security framework ingestion, and I don't need to keep a TODO list or agenda (but still do for transparency's sake to my reports and superiors). Having an excess of information readily available gives a lot of opportunity to drive impact, and has allowed me to move vertically in my career very quickly. There's a feedback loop of retaining information, which presents me as more qualified to offer support to my peers, which puts more people in my direction soliciting input and building a positive reputation. With that, I made leadership in my early twenties, and it feels like it took less effort than some others to get here, based on what I've heard from other people.

Unfortunately for me and I'm sure others, I've been through a lot, and all of that retains just as well. It's not an active decision to retain. I'm not going into much detail on those events, but I've encountered about a dozen substantially negative events in my life, and having the information for those who've needed it has been helpful when necessary. It's been empowering to revisit those moments from a different angle as I've worked through those challenges.

All in all, not to be too cliche, but it's both a gift and a curse, but one I'm grateful to have.
Same reason I don’t start watching any new series on Netflix anymore. They’re building a similar reputation for themselves, cancelling shows before the story can be completed.

If it’s a miniseries (e.g. Queen’s Gambit), then I’ll try it out. Otherwise I won’t watch something if the rug’s going to be yanked out.

Which of course adds to the likelihood of that happening, if others take the same wait-and-see approach.
This is important to watch for. You can seriously cramp someone's style if you actually solve problems - especially if it's something being milked for complexity theater. Solving problems strategically can be very impressive to management and destructive to gold bricking colleagues.
There's a significant extent to which we live entirely in worlds of our own imagining, unable to perceive objective reality. You can't perceive your girlfriend, only your understanding of your girlfriend.

But objective reality does actually matter, and that's what eventually sunk Theranos. Similarly, if your girlfriend is objectively planning to empty your bank account and run off with her other boyfriend, that objective reality will eventually impose itself on your understanding, perhaps some time after she executes her plans. (Unless her own understanding of the situation changes in a way that makes her reconsider her plans.) Your "products that last"? You'll change the story you're telling yourself if they fall apart in your hand enough times.

And that's why we're using TCP/IP and not IBM SNA or DECNet or Tymnet or Minitel or even OSI to have this conversation; TCP/IP objectively worked better, even though IBM and CCITT had better stories.

But I'm not saying that stories don't matter. That's not what I'm saying, man. I'm saying that reality also matters.

> yes, my childhood was weird and I got access to lye.

I used to make gunpowder. Sulphur and potassium nitrate at the local pharmacy and charcoal from the BBQ. I wasn't very successful because it all has to be ground really fine without killing yourself. I just lit it never made anything with it more for the science than anything.

The Radioactive Boy Scout was ten years later but if I had been aware of him and of Americium (I probably was) I bet I would have tried that too. I was a nerdy kid on my own but a 75% range (C) student in school.

Weird is good but it seems to be frowned upon these days. Too often it's seen as dangerous to even just ask about certain things.

I thought so but I looked it up—the MacOS client for WarCraft 2 wasn't released until 1996; Descent came out in 1995 (Mac port in December). There was no "LAN patch" so it must have shipped with the support. I think it might have been the first.

The zig approach seems really well suited to low-level libraries where you really need to handle these errors (and custom allocators, etc.) but it's kind of annoying for general purpose programs.
Sony recently confirmed that the $500 PS5 is no longer selling at a loss, thought the $400 PS5 Digital Edition still is.

I assume they are measuring it by component and manufacturing cost, and not counting amortized costs such as hardware and software R&D, digital infrastructure, marketing, etc., which are probably substantial.
One was is to make a product so compelling to your customer that solves such an impactful problem for them that it doesn't need to be conveyed to them through pablum and/or obfuscation.

Sure, I will try to respond.

> Covid restrictions and vaccines are halted in Canada...
> What happens next?

I am not for halting vaccines. Anyone that wants one should get one. Nothing happens. Those that are at high risk and want a vaccine should get one.

> Do we still treat the sick?

yes, obviously. This is a medical problem for sure, but its nowhere near overwhelming. We had months to prepare to expend capacity.

Keep in mind that in Ontario, at the height of the pandemic, the overall death rate was 7-80 deaths / day.

Total Deaths in Ontario:

2019-2020* 115,126

2018-2019 109,019

And the overall death rate is roughly inline with the population growth, which is about 1.7 percent.
If official number of COVID deaths is accurate. 9,400 people died of COVID.

Assuming those 9,400 deaths were all in the ICU and none at home or palliative care. There are 400 hospitals in the Province. So average of COVID deaths per hospital/per year
is 9400/400 = 23.5

> What do you think will happen to our taxes, the national debt, the economy?

23.5 extra deaths/hospital/year. You think will do that?

>Will being thrown out with the trash by the younger >generation be an inevitable part of growing old?

The average age of a person that dies from COVID is around 85 years old. At that age, you are way past average life expectancy of 82 in Canada. So you did pretty well. You lead a full life before COVID got you. Again not the panic situation you think it is. Also, chances are if COVID did not get you at 85, something else would shortly.

>What about old people who have devoted their lives to this
>country (ie. veterans)? And how will ignoring the elderly

No one is ignoring the elderly. There are not millions of Covid deaths in Canada. Canada is very well prepared to treat the sick. We have new treatments that work. They can take vaccines to reduce their risk.

Since this seems like a hyperbolic exaggeration. I want you to consider that currently life or death decisions are made at hospitals all the time. We could extend the life of very ill old people right now, if we spent a few extra million per patient.
Since hospitals don't have that kind of money. We are letting people die whose life we could prolong with extraordinary measures. Hope you realize that. These decisions are made at hospitals all the time.
Give you an example.

Dick Cheney is walking around with an artificial heart. Its an operation that would costs millions, but would extend the life of all those very old people that had heart attacks. Why do you think this is not being done?
Why do you think hospitals will only offer such procedures to young patients if at all.
