I'm in the US and had sort of a reckoning against out football a few years ago after a medical incident of mine. I used to be a big watcher of the NFL, mostly because my team was really good, but suddenly I had trouble watching week after week guys getting drilled in the head and being carted off to have their career ends. These league average numbers [1] are horrible to think about, with how little tie running backs play when they're able to make money (screw the NCAA) and they get hit every play.

One of the arguments on a change that could help is a big transition back to old school leather helmets, or no helmets. There's been much talk about safety of rugby compared to football, especially from armchair thinkers [2]. Some of the answers in that Quora thread are agreeing with the result of this article, where rugby isn't exactly that much safer regardless of lack of helmet or tackling style. Heck even soccer is having to come to terms with headers causing head injuries later in life [3].

With more "lower" impact sports like rugby (not that much lower, but has been considered lower) and soccer coming out with so much head injury reports, I wonder how long we'll be stuck with popularity of the NFL. Brett Favre, a quarterback from the south, came out and said to not have kids play tackle until they're 14. But when they turn 14? It's not like that risk goes away.

I'm lucky for myself that I like watching baseball and basketball the most so I don't have to think deal with watching head injuries that last lifetimes for the players. Or maybe that's why I like watching those two team sports the most.

The article starts talking about professions where working remotely allows to service more or in fact all possible customers in the world at once (e.g. musicians, teachers).

That is not the case for programmers, consultants and contractors (or more precisely, the Internet already had that effect for website/app/SaaS builders without need for remote work).

What will happen for them is that employees from poor countries and outside main cities will be better able to participate, increasing work offer, but also it will be easier for businesses outside main cities to find workers, increasing work demand.
I'm really struggling to understand what Glean does, and why I would use it. Most important: Your landing page should quickly show what Glean does that a typical IDE (Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, ect, does.)

Specifically, things like "Go to definition," and tab completion have been in industry-leading IDEs for at least 20 years.

What's novel about Glean? It seems like a lot of hoops to jump through when Visual Studio (and Visual Studio Code) can index a very large codebase in a few seconds. (And don't require a server and database to do it.)

Perhaps a 20-second video (no sound) showing what Glean does that other IDEs don't will help get the message across?
Sure, I can do that. Let's take a look at it:

1) I need to learn and integrate Samsung's API or I need to hire someone to do that for me. I need to maintain a version of the app that works the way Samsung thinks it should(how do you deliver and restore purchases might differ from Apple).

2) Then I need to go through paperwork and payments that will enable me to sell Korea software from UK. I haven't look at the trade agreements between UK and Korea, I guess the easiest way is to pay a specialist that knows it.

That's something that I would rather don't go through. Probably it's not possible unless I make significant money from it anyway.
Would not surprise me much if they would.
I'm not sure how you think you will have to do anything different or be forced into something? your app can stay the same, has the same presence. But, under this law, you could choose to have micro transactions or subscriptions where , if you choose to, you could use stripe, or some other payment provider where you pay a much lower fee, if you choose to.

She may be calling for zero growth or even degrowth.
In her first blog post, where she fill a questionnaire [1]

"Question 13: “What will improve the quality of life for the future generations of your family?”—with boxes to rank importance from 1 to 10. The first choice is “Improved educational opportunities”—fair enough, Harvard being in the education business. I gave it a 10. The second is “Economic stability and growth for the U.S.” That stymied me totally. What a marvelous example of capitalist thinking, or nonthinking: to consider growth and stability as the same thing! I finally wrote in the margin, “You can’t have both,” and didn’t check a box."

No, I grew up going to church three times a week. I believe in God but not religion for the reasons mentioned. All my family is religious. They post the most hateful judgmental things on FB. My one cousin is gay and her direct family won't talk to her because she is a "sinner". I don't see the so called Christians acting like Christ and when they do it is mostly on spreading the word. Even the churches and mission that offer free food around here do so only with prayers and sermons as part of the experience.

>> Yes, the F.S.F. has decided that those four freedoms are the only fundamental ones to care about and calls it some absolute semantic of freedom.

>> Anyone can decree that one of those is not important, or add a fifth.

Freedom 0: The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose

Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish. (Access to the source code is a precondition for this.)

Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others.

Freedom 3: The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others. (Access to the source code is a precondition for this.)

Which freedoms do you disagree with and why?

What freedoms are missing that you would like to see added?

>> The G.C.C. had to be given a licence exception for the runtime it links against, otherwise arguably anything compiled with it would become a derivative product of it, and thus subject to the G.P.L.

You are conflating GCC as free software with software created using GCC as a compiler.

The runtime exception has been in place for quite a while and is part of the reason why GCC is very widely used.

I would argue that the four freedoms are also part of the reason why GCC has been so successful.
My landlord doesn't care. From his perspective, all that matters is that if I make enough money to pay the rent. He is not interested if my revenue after Apple's cut has increased.

If my net income decreases(because my costs increase more that the revenue after Apple's cut increase), I am screwed.
Yeah, after writing that comment I thought about it a bit more and realized that I have used the word "down" in the context of pillows before. But that may have been one or two conversations in my life.
Good ruling, however, I think it's fair that if the app is listed in a store, they can require that in-app payments are via the store. For downloads from other sources, this doesn't have to be a requirement. I don't think G&A should be obligated to showcase products for which they don't receive the revenue as vendors would simply shift the payment inside the app.

A bigger ruling would be to require Apple to allow downloads from other sources, a feature which exists on Android. I don't think the security argument really holds, moreover, people should be able to have the choice.
This is partly why I keep thinking I should have become an electrician or a carpenter: the only real competition is local, there is always demand in cities. I knew a very wealthy electrician who started his own business and it seems to be a common path. Unlike programming where the common path is work for someone else and burn out.

I run c64g.com

Back in the day I could choose ad formats and place them to be non-invasive.
Since a while ago Adsense only has the responsive ad format.
It stretches across the full width and is extremely high.
I tried what they suggested to limit the size but it isn't working.
The site looks nice without ads. And I personally hate so see it so full of ads.
But server needs to be paid and I'd like to also earn something for my time and knowledge spent on developing the site and maintaining.
There's a lot of work to be done there. I'd like the audience to be able to write their own reviews, upload images, maybe even offer a way to play those games in the browser.
The site used to be #1 in search results, but since Google prefers wikis it's not anymore.
I've also decided to not track my visitors via any trackers, so no piwik, no GA. Only server logs.

There's also legacy.c64g.com which despite not being listed anywhere anymore performs better than the main site in ad revenue.
It has static banner ads that are not invasive.

I had a free forums service many years ago. German audience.
Barely made server costs.
I wanted of course to earn something for my time maintaining it so I put those annoying layer ads there.
It was a downward spiral.
The layer ads initially brought additional revenue, really nice revenue but people started protesting and after a while leaving and using adblockers, who could blame them.
It was so full of ads it was unusable.
I wrote an adblocker-blocker, which displayed a black screen if adblock was detected.
That lead to people leaving even more.
Eventually so many people left that removing the annoying ads resulted in not being able to pay the server rent and it had to close down.

Ads are a necessity for some sites (subscription based model won't work) Google is actively destroying the sites that choose to put those ads on them by removing choice of ad formats.

Recently I moved away from chrome on the phone for my daily browsing because Firefox allows me to install an adblocker add addon and chrome doesn't.
Even worse are those cookie nag screens. Every top result on Google search has an annoying one.
I blame the, sorry but it's true, idiots of the EU parliament who make half assed laws without taking care of the consequences.
Remeber Shareware of the 90s? It's worse than that now. I wish there were cookie screen blockers.
Lately I started to just navigate back when I visit a site with a modal cookie dialog that wants you to accept all by default. In most cases I don't bother to click anything anymore, if I visit your site and can't read the info I came for to read I will leave. Too bad there isn't a metric to count that.

GA is some of the worst spyware and since the US government has access to it whenever it desires it's also used to track individuals. It's one part of the huge spy apparatus the US shadow government built.
> They’re already not buying our bonds…

really? Given that US treasury bonds have some of the lowest yield, it means that it must be currently being bought up (which pushes yield down).

Bonds from countries like argentina have yields at around 47% - because nobody would buy them otherwise as they are hugely risky. See http://www.worldgovernmentbonds.com/country/argentina/
You could hypothetically go to something like touch rugby. But I don't know how you'd recreate some of the more unique features of rugby union, like contested scrums, rucks, and mauls. The game would probably look more like touch rugby league.

> How is that different from Windows? Native toolkits get scaled natively, non-native toolkits get image-based scaling.

It's not, Windows is just as bad as Linux, but I don't use Windows. On macOS this problem doesn't exist.

> I have a T480 with an nvidia GPU, which I never even load the kernel module for, and the HDMI works just fine.

Great that it works on your T480. It doesn't work on the ThinkPads I was interested in when I last looked, like the P-series or the X1E series. That said, a few years back it didn't work on any ThinkPad with nvidia GPU at all. So there's progress I guess.

But it doesn't matter anyway, I don't want to give nvidia any money, and I certainly don't want to give Lenovo any money if they don't want to sell me the SKU I want (the one without nvidia). I vote with my money and buy from someone who actually wants to sell me stuff.

> Yeah, I really don't. You're complaining about how two specific distros picked more or less at random don't suit your use case. What else am I supposed to say than "well use a different distro then"?

No, they are not picked more or less at random. They are by far the two most common Linux distributions, and certainly the most common distributions used as Linux desktops. Trying to make the proprietary software for the government-issued USB dongle so I can pay my taxes on Linux is bad enough, trying to do the same on NicheOS instead of Ubuntu is a different level of pain. Not to mention other kind of commercial software that do in fact support Linux, like various CADs or Mathematica. These used to require RHEL, fortunately most of them support Ubuntu now. Try getting tech support to help you even install the damn thing.

Or, you know, try to file a Chrome bug report and get it accepted instead of being sent back with "try on Ubuntu please". I know because I use FreeBSD and OpenBSD. Hell, they don't even accept patches to build Chrome on these systems, that's why the BSDs have to maintain a lot of patches.

Doing anything outside the mainstream carries a cost. When I was young and I had all the time in the world I could afford that cost, because my time was worth nothing. Now my time is worth something (and I don't have enough of it!) and I can't affort any of this stuff.

Linux is not universally more expensive, for example, homebrew on macOS more closely resembles a disease than a package manager. I have to build GCC myself. If I need a GUI unix program that doesn't run on macOS I have to deal with the embarrassment of XQuartz, etc, etc. That is why I even entertain the idea of a Linux alternative. But as bad as macOS is, it's still significantly cheaper than Linux for me. And I feel that if we ever come to the point of Linux being cheaper to operate than macOS, it will be because macOS got worse and worse (which it does), and not because Linux got better.

It's great that you can afford this cost, but the Linux community pretends this cost doesn't exist. That's why there hasn't yet been the year of the Linux desktop.
You mean because the free internet is infrastructure belonging to all and ads are its maintenance?

I fundamentally disagree with this parable. I don't think common practices in advertising are a necessity, especially when it comes to analytics.
> We actually also supplied a "fork" of the MISRA C doc, crossing out ~80% of it

As an example of what you'd cross out in MISRA I would expect things like the handling of switch.

MISRA says thou shalt supply default: cases in a switch. This ensures the switch is exhaustive, but at a terrible price, there are often scenarios in which there are only four possibilities A, B, C, D and MISRA obliges you to add default: and then assert this is never reached because A, B, C, D covers all the options.

Rust's match is exhaustive. If you write matches for A, B, C and D, and that compiles, there was no other option. If a library author tells Rust "Today there's A, B, C, D but maybe I need more later" with #[non_exhaustive] your A/B/C/D match doesn't compile, what if, says the compiler, there were more later? If the library author doesn't do that, but then adds E next month anyway, it's a backwards-incompatible change and gets flagged. So in Rust you get the benefit of that particular MISRA requirement built-in, always, and none of the inflexibility because the problem they're worried about was tackled by the programming language as a correctness issue.
...which isn't an official part of Debian and isn't enabled by default, and some derivatives don't include it at all.

Also, it seems to me that "non-free" is already a good and descriptive tag for non-free source available software.
I think no one made a movie about it because we already know. The Will Smith movie was all about people resisting and denying the idea in football.
If you think functions and modules as an example of what makes a code maintanable, then I'm afraid we won't be able to agree.

I've seen data scientists handling big code bases. The problem was not they couldn't use the language features. The problem is that they would be always lacking essential information for their mission because their is not enough time in a day for a regular human being.

They would put a md5 hashed password in their db, create an xml format to be reusable only to realize they'll need to hard code some value later, or have a gunicorn running to a crawl because they didn't know how to calibrate the number of workers.

It's just too many things to know. Once they mastered that, other things would come to bite them.
The utility interconnect really drives up the minimum price of solar because you have to go through licensed professionals who know you can't avoid them so there is no downward pressure on price unlike all other residential electrical (new construction notwithstanding).

I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I certainly agree with their post. My opinion is that people on the edges of the political spectrum, who have strong opinions and are active in politics, in fact do nothing to change society, and actually entrench the existing power structures.

The reason I have come to that conclusion is that politics is tribal, if you want to be part of a group, you have to have exactly the right beliefs, you cannot have an opinion other than the ones shared by the group, if you think a bit differently than the group, but agree with them on a large degree of things and are willing to work with them, the group will reject you. They do not want free thinkers, they want foot soldiers for their culture war.

All the culture wars have done is act as a set of wedge issues politicians use to divide their opponents base. When you become politically active, you become a tool for politicians. And somehow, very predictably, midterm elections are already bad for incumbent presidents parties, we always alternate between democratic preaidents and republican presidents, my cities local politics will always be democratic, my state will always be controlled by republicans. The people in power seem to be happy with this status quo, perhaps just because it is predictable.

The option to escalate can severely get compromised if you give your superior the opportunity to approach their superior first.

Not only have you given your boss a chance to compromise your position but you won't have the rapport with their boss that they do. You are just a complaint and until there is a trend of these complaints they most likely will be handwaved away.

Maybe you haven't been through the circlejerk enough but the politics of a place totally shoot down your argument.
