This was the case for literally all of the unix toolset before Posix came along, and how they solved this exact problem in every other case was to define a common subset (which usually involves almost all the functionality you really actually use most of the time) and make that the standard and everyone implements anything that's missing from the standard into their version and keeps all their existing extensions. That's why on linux you can do 'ps -leAf' or 'ps auxww' and have them do almost exactly the same thing for example.

I agree that it’s a messy, unstated process, and I understand that some may prioritize clean parks over human rights.
I believe many are missing the fact that for us not in the SV-Bubble earning 30.000$/month, sure we would be happy getting the same paycheck but on the other side our wages are also rising and we are often the top-earners for senior roles in the respective country.
Yep, I read lots of Verilog nowadays. I think the implication is that you need to be on site to mess with experimental hardware. But that's not true. It's all colocated and cloud-based nowadays, even for companies that are otherwise paranoid.

AFAIK, meth actually is produced as a legal drug called Desoxyn, but I'm not sure its very commonly prescribed. I think its kind of used as a last resort for ADHD or obesity.
Yes, thank you for mentioning it.

This isn't true.

Sudafed PE is phenylephrine. It is not a pain killer, and it does not have the same safety profile as acetaminophen (Paracetamol for some of you). Not saying either is actually unsafe, but the drug interactions will most definitely differ and you might find yourself suffering.

I totally agree that it doesn't work very well.
Another missing piece is that COVID is still thriving in a lot of places, and typically in the places that are the "supply" in supply chain.

So while the demand is waking up there are still a lot of places with large numbers of people sick and/or dying because they don't have wealthy governments who can afford mass vaccination.
I personally am for this totally legalization but also giving it out for free. or better yet just have a blanket small minimum universal income so no one can decry that we're paying for someone's addiction.
I felt like Lex just took him on faith for so many points. This was a hard listen to me. Some really interesting points were raised but I didn't feel like there was much fleshing out of how certain the conclusion was not exactly how any of the conclusions were reached. Maybe I'm just not intelligent enough.

// [The eighth byte of LINENO_MID] changes in meaning over the course of

I think it depends on what your commute is. I find that very few people choose their location by taking commuting pleasure (and not only time) into account.

Before the pandemic, I chose to live in the countryside but at walking distance from a train station.

Coworkers always seem surprised I’m living « that far ». But now I’m equally happy to work from home or to take my refreshing 25min train trip through the countryside.

I sometimes have to endure full train, but at least it’s never in the morning. And sometimes I have to exceptionally take my car, and im hating it, but it’s rare enough to have no impact on my well-being.
Oh come on. The person defecating on the Black Lives Matter sign also has human rights, and San Francisco does not prioritize them at all. If someone were to wear a MAGA hat in SF Community College, how many seconds before they would be assaulted by private violence. And nothing would happen to the perpetrator -- instead the person wearing the hat would be charged. Stop pretending that this is about respecting human rights. It's about enforcing social norms. Which is OK. Except that you have to choose those social norms carefully, because they will determine the type of community you have.

The fact is that dying on the streets of the tenderloin no longer violates social norms in the same way as, say, saying the N word in public. So again, you get the city you deserve -- one in which no one wears a MAGA hat, but homeless people screaming at strangers are a part of daily life.

At least have the integrity to admit that these are choices as to which norms you will enforce, and stop pretending that you just allow anyone to do whatever they want because of some fundamentalist adherence to free speech or free association.

People have been saying this for decades but it hasn’t come true. Remote work can’t make up for the significant challenges caused by differences in time zone and culture.
I tried a Surface and I hated it. I already have the Macbook, so I don't feel like spending money on a downgrade.
> Money from the government might not be less worthy but it does come at the cost of someone else.

This is partially true at best. Spending does not equal revenue, and it doesn't need to. The best way to think about government taxation is that is money that is collected and destroyed. Then new money is printed to pay for government services.

In other words, the government spending money did not take any additional money out of your pocket...in fact, for the past 40 years, for the most part, the government has been trying to put money back in your pocket through tax cuts. Of course, we are now at the point where another tax cut doesn't effect 70% of tax payers because their tax burden is so low or non-existent.

Could the transfer speed over PCIE to the video card be the limiting factor then?. It would make sense why the M1 GPU bench very high as well as it likely has 200GB/s read to the shared memory compared to the ~32GB/s given by a PCIE4.0 16x slot.
> GPUs are optimized to suit common workloads and, quite predictably, aren’t optimized to suit uncommon workloads.

That doesn't explain why there are such drastic performance differences between GPUs on same uarch. It shouldn't perform better on clearly worse GPUs.

> We don’t have the explanation for why here, but I see no reason to conclude that it must be poorly written software just because the performance characteristics are unintuitive.

I'm not saying that it `must` be poorly written software. I'm just saying that it's `likely`, given niche nature of this software. If performance is affected by some unusual factor they have to clearly indicate that.
HN needs a lot of rule changes. The narrative of "dang is a great mod" and "HNs rules are actually great" flys in the face of repeated examples of complete incompetence/corruption within HN and it's moderation practices. (E.g. calling discussion about political topics dang doesn't like "ideological flame bait" and deleting the posts.)
> But yeah, disposables saved us (well mainly her) many hours of scraping shit, stirring a giant bucket of nappies with Napisan, washing them, hanging them out in the sun to let the UV sort the stains etc.

We are using (modern) cloth nappies (after having used disposables early on). Our washing machine handles it all with standard detergent. No stirring or Napisan necessary. The drying via hanging up is exactly the same as for any other laundry.

I do see your general point, of course. We mostly went with the cloth nappies in the first place, because of fitting issues.

Crossing the chasm, at some level, means abandoning the early adopters. By the time the product achieves mainstream success they will have moved on to the next thing anyway.

Yep. I do control systems for 20+ tonne hydraulic robot arms (among other things). 90% of the work I don’t have to catch a plane for can be done at home.
What I find offensive is the notion that workers consider a 10-25% increase in hours as commensurate with a 5% pay cut. End commuting. It's unpaid labor.

We don't have enough Narcan to counter a bad batch of "M30" pills. Talk to your kids and tell them not to use any pills, not even once.

Because kids do what their parents say? I mean, it might be the cynic in me from the years of DARE lies, but I don't think this is enough. Most parents won't have an honest conversation about it: You know, talk about the effects and the good parts alongside the risks you take when you get it.

They won't drive you to safer things.

And an amount of them are going to try it nonetheless: An amount aren't going to be kids, either.

And this is the real reason I support full legalisation and controlled production - even of a lot of drugs that I wouldn't do. We can more reasonably assure there aren't bad batches of pills. We can more easily realize when folks are using regularly and offer (free) help. We can more easily try to sway folks to things that harm less. And we can research ways to do this more easily. It isn't perfect, but the war on drugs definitely isn't either.

It’s perfectly fine that if the site is small/low budget and has a small percentage of European users they don’t bother being GDPR complaint. It’s their choice.

But at least they shouldn’t blatantly lie in the message they show, saying they’re working on it and how important EU visitors are.

Yes. There's no room for current American dev salaries in a world where remote-first jobs are a norm.

Sure there are timezone differences, but EST is doable for Europe. 08:00 EST = 13:00 UTC, so working 8h in EST means 13:00-15:00 -> 21:00-23:00 in European timezones. Some people may even prefer it. Europe has a larger population of devs that's underutilized because it's dispersed among multiple countries. India is too shifted for America but doable for Europe, so the natural next step is to move work completely into a much larger European-Indian worker pool that can remotely work together.

I don't expect it to happen very fast, first part this decade, second next decade. First part is going to fully equalize dev wages between Europe and America. Second part between Europe and India.

Alternatively I may underestimate the willingness of Indian devs to live a nocturnal lifestyle for a high enough pay. In which case the global equalization of dev wages with India is going to happen during this decade.
agreed. The problem is where to store the whitelists without making email centralized.
> SpaceX, Tesla, Intel, AMD, defense contractors

One of those things is not like the other things (it's the one where you build things that are explicitly designed to kill human beings). Not sure if you were calling that the coolest work, I certainly wouldn't call it that.
I thought it was fairly clear - using the browser for an offline database is dumb. Even worse, by propagating this sort of nonsense it encourages new devs to think thats how things are done, when you can do the same thing with a native app, 10 or 100 times faster and take perhaps a tenth or even less the time taken to develop it.

Edit: and as I said at the beginning - "I often feel I'm on another planet" - having this discussion with web developers trying to justify something that is not just bad but dumb in so many ways always gives me a chuckle, and I try to educate on why there are other things beside browsers, and its not a very good way to write software

Fair and interesting point. I've been a programmer for a long time, and I'd say 90% of 'bootcampers' I've encountered are similarly awful. I think we're on like our 7th interviewee now and yet to find one that can write a single function compilable code on the fly.

To answer your question, it's because most people aren't. You typically work with one or two brilliant people, a buncha midrangers, then ... those.

However, when you get folks from other countries, it's typically only because your company is trying to cut costs and hires some really cheap body shop. So we don't meet the brilliant people from other countries, and are lucky to encounter the midrangers. And they don't stick around long.

I was once so excited that a person we got from said body shop
offshore was truly brilliant. Like,
a person hired as Java but happened to know C and ASM and the inner workings of the linux kernel. He asked if he could help me with a couple (harder) things I was working on, and was amazing. As you may imagine, he stayed for about a month before moving to better things. I begged my company to poach him, but our contract forbid it.

> He's an old-school internet freedom activist.

A commenter on The Reg speculated that it's because (according to this commenter) Gilmore has lately veered into arguing publicly for legalising marijuana, and the EFF doesn't want to be associated with that.

If he has, that feels more plausible a cause than him being "an old-school internet freedom activist" per se.
I agree.

Mainly, I think this is a push from a company who's idea pool has desiccated.

What is the end goal to have people in a headset talking to each other? That will happen irregardless of whatever platform it exists on, and unless FB is giving away unlocked headsets perpetually, I don't think people will pick their "Metaverse" over any other.

>Why do so many want to migrate here for such a grim outlook?

1. People make mistakes, they think the bad outcomes will not apply to them. Anecdotally, it seems many European software developers move to the U.S for some years and then move back, that is to say earn a large amount of money and move back when it is time for the kids to grow up in a better environment.

2. Coming from an autocratic regime without hope of professional advancement makes the U.S look pretty good.

3. Getting killed where you are makes working all day for no money in the U.S look pretty good.
My experience is the opposite: using Swift for Apple ecosystem development basically removed all of the benefits that Swift the language offered. It’s clearly designed as a general purpose language, and its adoption mostly curtailed by this reputation.
Yeah I advise early stage startups and they are either way too formal, or completely lacking in the basic understanding of how to communicate professionally.

You are severely underestimating the power of these drugs. Anyways, most people do and usually find out the hard way.
Land value tax is the answer..only allow real people to own residential dwellings, no corps. Secondly every property as a 0.25% higher tax than the previous one, sorted by lowest value, so you're paying lower taxes on the lower costing houses, and the highest taxes on the highest costing.

Finally, the base tax is gotta be way above primary dwelling, normal homeowners shouldn't be penalized.

All the $$ raised is to be used for UBI or Medicare For All, it cannot be borrowed from or repurposed.
"D.A.R.E. did a great job of teaching us that any drug user has made a conscious choice toward moral failure."

I don't think it did this. I'm in my early 40's and grew up with DARE. When we were younger, they really leaned into the danger factor and pretty much said you'll hurt everyone you know.

And then, you realize they are liars. I didn't have to actually do drugs to see that. Why would you learn that is a moral failure from lies? I didn't even worry about those sorts of things when I was a preteen/young teen, honestly.

“The market”?

The power dynamics of companies/customers are often not as dynamic as all that.

If slack is electron and I work at a company that uses slack: I must use it.

The competition in that space is all electron, you can’t choose.

It’s like saying that “the market chose non-ECC ram”. No, Intel chose for you and you don’t get much choice except to suck it up (or pay well above the odds.)

It takes a lot to avoid using a product. I mean people still use Oracle products!
This is a very CA specific problem cause by the fact that legalization is done at the state level and not federal.

Illegal CA cannabis production supplied a huge fraction of total US demand.

Legalization worked in that it is now harder to smuggle illegal cannabis to surrounding states legalizing (and there might be a stronger push to actually find and catch smugglers now).

Also in a high tax state such as CA a lot of 'black market' prices might be skewed by individual growers selling to their immediate friends, etc. This would not translate to other drugs because they don't grow on uh weeds.
Such a long diatribe about nothing... How these writers get such a platform? Tim Ferriss's book is one of the most cleverest implementation of popular saying: "If you want to become rich, write a book about how to become rich". Nothing more, nothing less. Ferriss himself never implemented 4-hour work week. The title was invented purely by A/B testing. He is master presenter and his writing can swept you away with confidence but has no real impact or information. His modus operandi is to take few clever counter-intutive bits and expand into 100s of pages of book. This has made him in tune of 10s of millions of dollars. You pay the price to be inspired and that's about it.
