It seems to me that you're thinking of "market abuse" in terms of intent. But it's not really about, it's about what the practical impact is. The test is "is this significantly impacting users in a negative way". If that sounds like a subjective judgement call, then that's because it is. Anti-competition laws are basically an escape hatch that allow governments to intervene at their discretion when markets fail.

So to answer your question: it potentially crosses over into abusive as soon as you are restricting customers from doing anything. And it gets less likely that you'll get away with it the more dominant your market position (as a scale), and the greater the importance of your product or service to society (which is why game console currently get away with these practices but utilities don't).

I think most EU citizens thought it was about as likely as California seceding the US.
The problem with law and accounting is that the skills are country-specific. You can outsource software or radiology because computers and bodies are pretty much the same across the world, but a Chilean lawyer does not know USA law (and vice versa), nor does an Albanian accountant know USA tax law. So you can't "reuse" the existing specialists, you have to train them for a weird niche that will be usable only for outsourcing, since they can't serve local customers with knowledge about USA principles, which are different.
Most of the time your PC isn't working hard, and it makes sense to use lower power cores to perform basic tasks.

As I said, a venv is nothing more than a directory + PATH setup. OS already have a dedicated one (in fact, sometimes several). The problem is not that the separation does not exist, the problem is that pip is using the OS real estate.

Creating a new-new separate directory using virtualenv is not going to do anything, just add one more dir to the mix.
I'm trying to show that the situation is not as bad as some claim it is and that all countries have immigration controls. I'm not saying that Indians have it worse, but I'm not saying that EU citizens deserve to have it better, either. It is absolutely possible to hire from outside the UK, even for junior positions, and that happens a lot all the time.

In my book reality checks are helpful.
If pip installs something that has a dependancy with the same name than any of the packages you install, it can cause a conflict, because by default, they will override each other.
Obviously I won't dispute your experience, and I'm sad that you have to go through that. It's never something we've experienced in any part of the UK so far, and we often speak in non-English (well, me not very well - as a typical British person, English is my only fluent language).

However, I should add that when I was growing up 20+ years ago (also not in London), this kind of thing was much more common. Indeed, it was quite a lot worse. A roll of the eyes was probably the best you could expect. Some of the more unsavoury characters would walk around at night looking for members of particular immigrant groups to beat up, and people would talk about this as if it was perfectly normal and fine.

Thankfully, that is no longer remotely acceptable. The long term trend has been greatly softening attitudes towards immigration. Perhaps the divisive Brexit campaign has knocked it back a bit, but when I compare us now to even 10-15 years ago, it still feels like we're practically a different country to how we were when I grew up.

RTGs are generally pretty expensive due to the exotermic isotopes used. Also it needs cooling to get the needed thermal gradient for electricity production, so just burying it into ground would likely not work. The peltier thermocouples also degrade over time.

And lastly, there were some nasty radiation incidents where ex Soviet RTGs were left unattended and random scavengers managed to open the casing, getting lethal doses of radiation in some cases. I guess this could be exasperated by the small and mobile size of RTGs.
Also, aren’t desktop CPUs constrained by thermal load at some point or can we use ever bigger coolers?
Personally, I find it almost obscene that my desktop PC consumes roughly as much as a good old incandescent lightbulb (60+W) while idling. My laptop uses as much under full load.

Not only that, i'd prefer to have a small amount of ram and cpu to be running 24/7 for always-on features that I'd love to have my PC doing.

I don't like having to run a PI for some stuff just because i don't want my huge tower running all the time, it would be really neat if it could run at anything between 5 - 600W, not sure though if the PSUs would be able to offer that range.

See the domain to know why - the goal is socialism, not the common good.
Except that's not the issue being discussed here. Expecting to pay for software development isn't a bad thing. Expecting the employee to pay out of pocket for business expenses is the exploitative behavior.
I guess I would then argue that your points one and two are the same, and therefore have a similar fix - that the lack of labour imports will impact standard of living (either through logistics, farming, or other unskilled work)

We need to pay more people to do these jobs, not rely on exploiting people from poorer nations to fill the gaps. I think the evidence suggests this is indeed happening. Wages are rising at their fastest rate on record.

I think your suggestion of applying the Australian model to filling those vacancies is also a good one, but most of the people filling those jobs are tourists on extended holidays, not people looking to build a life in Australia. Working holiday visas require that you must work in service or agriculture, and the will kick you out when your time is up (I'm Australian so I've seen it happen to a number of my friends).

I guess I can't disagree with your personal experiences at University, but I do suspect a lot of it comes down to the institution you attended. I studied at two universities in the UK and found them both academically rigourous.

Are they allowed to do that? It suggests a strong stance that the market rates of engineers is location specific not skill/capability specific. If you're part of a company that is built on a meritocratic culture, you should absolutely challenge this. You might even consider seeking legal advice.

Paying people living in one place more than people living in another place for the same work is a slippery slope that harms the interests of workers when it becomes acceptable practice across the industry. Maybe resisting the absurdity here could be your act of solidarity with those who are in the same position but without the freedom to speak out about it.

A web search brings up a few plugins that might add SoundFont support, but none of them mention Linux, only Windows and Mac.
No, because there is no reason an OS couldn't have an integrated garbage collector. The garbage collector would have to be written in a non-garbage collected language or using a subset of the language that doesn't allocate on the GC heap, the no-runtime sample here shows that it would be possible to do one in C#. But there is no reason the rest of the OS couldn't use automatic memory management. Linux is a heavy user of refcounted data already, and there is no fundamental difference between that and other garbage collection strategies.
My curiosity got piqued at the mention of CFP8 (configurable floating point 8), but googling this didn't yield usable information.

What exactly is CFP8? How many bits does one instance of CFP8 use? What mathematical operations are supported? How does one configure the floating point?

Thanks for the link! I’ve been thinking quite often about these things for the past couple of years, having observed similar differences between people I’ve interacted with, but never knew that there was a name for it. Nice to know.

My own pet theory is that the experiences and our surroundings affect us a lot more than we may think.

And it is also a useful reminder for myself, as for years now I have tended to be rather harsh against myself at times, and to look negatively on the future and on what is possible, based on really a small set of bad experiences, some of them recent and some of them earlier in my life.

It’s difficult a lot of the time, to stay positive. And for the past couple of months I’ve been going through what I am pretty sure qualifies as burnout. And during this time I’ve also increasingly thought negatively about myself.

And I think the end of your comment, where you bring up a quote "the goal is not to cure depression, the goal is to learn how to manage your mood. You don't exercise once and now you're done with the exercise thing." is also probably key.
Indeed. Appears it was the second most common reason, with about one-third of leave voters saying that was their main reason for voting to leave.

When I ran Linux full time this was true for most desktops but not for laptops. There was always some hardware component (wifi, trackpad, webcam, sound, sleep/wake, GPU, USB) that needed the bleeding edge kernel. I remember always eagerly waiting for the next beta of Fedora. Is it better now?
How significantly less, I wonder?

For my workloads it’d be an overall win to have more cores at that speed. The more the better; I’d cap out at maybe a a hundred or so.

Obviously Firestorm is better, but a hundred-core desktop CPU at present seems… unlikely.
The way I see it is that the covid issue has been integrated into the blue vs red tribalism that started long ago but really came to a boil during Trump's administration.

Additionally, media, both mainstream and alternative, are adding fuel to the fire because it means more clicks.

Normally in a situation where people can't agree I would suggest that you first try to find common ground and build from there. What I did was to find an occurrence where "my side" has been wrong and "theirs" has been right; then we did the opposite.

This was a great starting point for future conversations. And by conversations I mean dialectical ones rather than rhetorical.
While I agree that you need to retrain, I think the economic incentives might push some people to say, "instead of training for my Chilean law practice, I'd rather learn the ins and outs of the USA law so that I may outsource for double or triple the money I would make". Of course this is just wild speculation, but I feel like the dollar's power has the ability to alter career choices.
Hah! I love that there's another PSG player on HN who gets this right away... that's awesome. I never heard of this system specifically... I feel like a singer holding up 3, 4 or 5 fingers has been the way I've been cued lots of times to changes in a song I barely knew, without me even thinking that was a system. I bet they didn't either.
Separately, I know zero music theory... but PSG really was what let my brain get comfortable with a 3rd of a 4th being a 6th that was two frets down from the 5th of the root... I think probably engaging your knees and ankles in reaching for the physical positions in time builds almost like a muscle memory of the musical relationships... like the kind of control you get driving a manual car... but only if you already have the tones you're looking for in your head, and you know where you're going. PSG is the most mindbending realtime puzzle to play... so it makes sense that players need tricks to know where to go from a certain position (especially if you find yourself stuck in one when you jump into a song)
Pure market forces don't seem to be enough in a bunch of places.

> Highly efficient assembly showed the least performance drop whereas complex "idiomatic" Swift code showed the greatest performance drop.

I wonder what this means. The efficient assembly probably has fewer instructions that use vector instruction and floating point calculations more, while the "idiomatic" Swift probably has just a larger number of instructions that aren't doing heavy calculation. Does that imply then that the high performance cores does much deeper pipelining, but the the number floating point units or whatever is probably pretty similar across both types?
Give it a try! Start by looking at the Stationeers Venus series in YouTube, perhaps; that doubles as a tutorial.

> Nothing trains you to not take things personally like being put through the ringer of modern day online dating.

Back in the day this was worse believe me. At least you're not approaching a random stranger and their friends in a public place and then getting shot down in front of all of them.

In online dating their is at least the chance that the person you approach is looking for a relationship with someone. That wasn't always the case back in the good ol' days.

The conclusions are the same though. It's not personal, even when it is.

Your personal worth is not predicated on what others think of you and weirdly once you know that you notice more people that do value you.

I'm not sure that you could make a case for this not making sense in a desktop computer, as everything is ultimately a trade-off.

It's fairly clear that the Icestorm cores represent a performance gain in terms of performance per watt, but also die area. The four Icestorm cores and their support infrastructure takes up about the same physical space as one Firestorm core with its support infrastructure.

I doubt that an M1 with five Firestorm cores would perform as well as the eight cores we did get.

Tech companies should not be able to offer something for free and then later charge for it. It should be illegal and prosecuted as anticompetitive behavior. It's not at all fair to potential competition, who can't beat free and therefore don't enter the marketplace. It's just a way to try and capture a whole market unfairly. Then when the price goes up you can end up with regretful consumers who may have chosen another option if not for the misleading pricing.

If they want to do this, it should have to say in big bold font "this is free for now and we will charge for it later, you will have X months of warning before being required to pay at that time".

In some non-software industries this is already considered illegal behavior: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_(pricing_policy)

I'd personally even go so far as to say that there should be some legislation around using very cheap loss-inducing prices for extended periods of time to capture the market and then jacking them back up. Like how Ubers used to cost ~30% of what they do now in San Francisco. But that's a lot harder to specify as there are legitimate use cases for sales and loss leaders.
Apparently, "the principle that decisions about the UK should be taken in the UK".

https://lordashcroftpolls.com/2019/02/how-the-uk-voted-on-br...

I genuinely don't know how much I believe people when they say that, though; sometimes people saying that are unable to provide specific decisions that were made outside the UK (so not for any obvious practical reason or lived example), but also are unable to expand on the more philosophical aspects of the principle itself or discuss how far such local desision making should go. I might expect a genuinely held belief to be able to do at least one of those.

In the interests of full disclosure, I do find that when people say that, I do instantly wonder how true that is; I do find myself instantly suspicious, which I am sure then colours my subsequent conclusions.
I would add that even for immigration procedures and paperwork the UK is actually quite good, straightforward, and helpful compared to some of its neighbours.

> There are also better caching properties when using content addressable identifiers. For example with kubernetes pull policies, using IfNotPresent and deploying by digest means you don't even have to check with the registry to initialize a pod if the image is already cached, which can improve startup latency.

While agree on the unquoted part, this is true also for human-readable (aka mutable-that-should-be-immutable) tags, when that pull policy is set (which is by default for everything that is not `latest`)

I saw a milder version of the same thing myself a few weeks ago in a zoom traffic court. While I was waiting for my turn one of the other cases had the same thing. A guy was being charged with something about a domestic dispute, doesn't speak English very well, they ask if he has anyone that can translate, yes my wife, she leans into view, someone from the court says she's the the victim. They abort everything and schedule for some other time with some other translator.

Dude looked over 30, wife looked under 20.

While different App Stores is preferable, this actually is a big improvement for users and developers alike

Many users simply don't want to share their payment details with App Stores because they don't like "one payment serves all" setups. They want to be asked each time for their payment details because they feel that gives them control

Likewise, many users already have payment arrangements with providers like Paypal that they trust, and don't want to add one more trusted payment provider to their list

As a developer, I want to offer all options to users - App Store payment, Paypal, CC, and anything else

So I like where this law is going, and I have no doubt it increases the chances of other legislations imposing further "restrictions on what is not allowed" on mobile devices
