There are two apartment complexes in my small town with similar names (both contain the word Castle). That said, they have entirely different post codes (UK system) and my unit number doesn’t exist at the other complex.

I had ordered new M1 macs and monitors for some new workers, plus an order of some snacks I cannot get on the island. If I had to guess, likely 10-12 total boxes. Amazon swears up and down it was delivered. I provide multiple CCTV feeds of the delivery date, testimony of the two posties that the independent delivery agent (NOT Isle of Man Post, who does a superb job) left it at the other location despite being told by residents and their postie that it was for my complex. The door it was left near is who I suspect took the packages but I’ve no way of proving it as I cannot get CCTV for that location.

After months and months, Amazon ends up closing the matter and saying I need to pay for all new items if I want them shipped. I cancel prime and go ahead with having my credit card dispute the transaction. Amazon closes my account and tries to fight my dispute, despite my massive documentary evidence (that they were aware of) showing without a shadow of a doubt they made a mistake.

Funnily enough, I eventually caught one of the boxes (sans goods) in a recycle bin near my place (small town) and the shipping label, despite what was on my Amazon account, was indeed for the other complex (but my unit number and postal code). So it can’t even be blamed on an overworked delivery driver - it was all a cock-up on Amazon’s end.
As someone who never plays games, I kinda want this simply because of how cute it looks.
It still feels like a prototype. There's still lack of integration with some major language features such as traits, and the standard library is missing all but the most rudimentary primitives; third party libraries help, but at the moment you are required to "takes sides" which async runtime library ecosystem you choose to use (for example, to spawn tasks), even though the thing you are doing doesn't require anything specific from that library. Finally, there are unsolved design problems about cancellation and destructors. And some murky behind-the-scenes stuff about the memory safety and soundness of self-referential types (which Futures often are).

I think that at least the trait integration stuff is taking some steps forward these days, and hopefully the cancellation stuff too, which this blog post is indicative of.

I think having a single repo for a library that's versioned and released as a single component makes a lot of sense, but combining separate services that are deployed separately into a single repository is not a good idea. The latter is what people generally mean by "monorepo" AFAICS.
He's actually implying that non-native Frenchmen cannot be trusted to deliver packages correctly because they don't care about doing a good job but that's not much better.
2x scaling on a display that needs 1.5x scaling would look cartoonish. Every GUI element — titlebars, headers, icons, menus etc would be bigger than they should be.

You could scale down the fonts to make the text bearable and not look like it was written for advertisement banners but then you've basically got a weird and broken setup that would be impossible to use with an external monitor or any other display.
An unsubstantiated but to me very plausible theory about America is that its society is designed in such a way that it creates a huge lower class for its upper class to abuse ("hire for peanuts"). This abuse is a means for the rich to enrich themselves even further by selling products and services to middle class, luring them into thinking they, too, can become plutocrats, or at least achieve something close to a plutocrat's level of standards of living. If a poor person rejects one of those shit jobs they are labeled as "being lazy" and are shunned by society.

> You can't build the kernel without all of the parts.

You most certainly can. Loadable modules have been part of the kernel for over 20 years now.

The fact that many drivers exists out-of-tree should be enough to settle that particular argument.

There are libraries in the kernel perfectly usable on its own. There are also many scripts, analysis and testing tools that live in the kernel that build and runs separately from the kernel itself. Then there's a whole lot of documentation.

Linux is what git what designed for. It sits in a singular respository and no other repositories are needed to build a working product. It can accurately be described as a monorepo, if that particular distinction was important.

What I said was:

> Research shows more diverse teams deliver better results. You’re asking something that can’t be proven though: is this thing that is occurring better than the thing that didn’t occur. We can’t know the answer to that.

Research is based on the cumulative results of many recorded events, in which we try to garner a pattern of relationship.

A singular event might have two inputs: we either do the thing or we do not. We can observe the results of what we do, but we cannot observe the results of what we do not. With the aforementioned research, we can _estimate_ the results, and, in some cases, we should make decisions with those estimates in mind, but these are two entirely different concepts. Macro and micro.

>the original separation of / and /usr happened for intensely silly reasons

As I recall, there were very good reasons for separating / and /usr (as well as /home and /var). The biggest one was that various Unix kernels would panic[0] if / was full. But that issue was almost universally fixed by 1990 or so.

And netmounts of pretty much everything other than / were pretty common for many years, due to the high cost of storage.

So no, the reasons weren't silly, they just don't apply to more modern systems.

> The neutralizing antibodies generated after vaccination wane very quickly and the vaccines do not prevent infection or transmission. There are even breakthrough cases happening in people who are just 2-3 months out from their second dose.

Of course there are breakthrough cases. The vaccines aren't 100% effective. That's not the point.

A high-speed train is about 40% the speed of an airplane.

So a 1 hour flight is comparable to a 2.5 hour train ride. However a quick check shows that, on average, it takes over 2 hours (133 minutes) to get on the plane after you've arrived at the airport. Then of course you've got to get off the plane, but we'll be generous and not count that time.

In summary, taking the train is about 30 minutes faster than flying. As for cost, well, the emissions from flying make the cost somewhat irrelevant. Any reasonable government would tax flying so it's more expensive than rail travel.
I replied to someone's "There is no reason for anyone to program in C nowadays" recently on here with "But I like programming in C". They hadn't considered that reason in their mental survey of Every Possible Reason.

Also.. I use Awk every day, for all kinds of things. I forget the order of parameters in split, sub etc, which takes a few seconds to look up with man awk. I got into sed a while ago but never use it. Awk, together with sort and uniq sometimes, is all I need.

And it is interactive. You have an input. Print that out and look what needs to be done. Write the first transforming step in Awk. See what that did. Add the next step. See what that did. Extremely interactive. After a few minutes I have a one-liner (often 2 or 3 wrapped lines) that does exactly what I want, and easy to adapt to other similar things. I have very large bash history enabled so they stay Ctrl-R-accessible.
Of course it does. It includes core kernel code, drivers, countless libraries (compression libraries, fonts, a unit testing framework, various data structure implemetations, and many many others), file systems, network stacks, a programming language runtime+compiler (ebpf), and many other subsystems.

According to multi-repo advocates, it would obviously be split up into at least a dozen different repos, with dependency management tools to specify which version of zlib or ebpf to use, with a dedicated repo just for the build logic, of course.

I would ask if there was any published studies showing that "diversity of values" was bad, because searching Google for "diversity of values bad" does not yield any relevant results.

Then I would ask what her political leanings were next.

Studies seem to show that diversity initiatives fail mostly because of a lack of comprehensive diversity and inclusivity effort, e.g. companies talking big about it, but not backing it up with action, money, people, etc.

To be sure, Rust is trying to solve very hard problems here, given to requirements: the async system is supposed to work in very high-performance situations, without allocators on embedded etc., while trying to keep the individual features that support the system relatively straightforward and orthogonal. It feels like there has been not much progress since the initial release of async in 2018, but it's a good thing that the designs are not rushed.

Thanks a lot!

I'm still appalled by the state of many things in JS tbh. I have the impression you have to perpetually move your codebase by adapting to your stack underlying changes, may it be the build system, the framework, tools or libraries that deprecate themselves quickly...

The reasons that made start Opa are still there: There should be an easy single language to program web apps and a clean coherent single stack to build and run them.

Today, I mostly code in Go and I love it (single stack, tests built in) despite the lack of generics.

On the front-end, it's another story. If I have time one day, I'll rebuild something in that space.
It's a "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" scenario. YouTube already has direct donation mechanisms, so patreon isn't really bringing anything new to the table.

>It begins with by questioning "why did Rousseau wrote about inequality if 100 years before no one in western culture cared about it"?

I really hope he doesn't say that because Rousseau is just the high point of a debate about luxury and sociability that runs throughout the whole eighteenth century. He and others like him were influenced by travelogues from the New World describing natives as living simply and equitably. But he was equally influenced by the objective conditions of early modern capitalism, ancient Stoicism, and Christian writings about greed and pride. He wrote his own 'Confessions' in tribute to St.Augustine, after all.

I like Graeber, and he has a truly original mind, but he doesn't have the best reputation in academia for being 100% scholarly.

> The point is this small extension to JS grammar lets you do templating with normal JS, instead of #for you can use .forEach, .map and other array methods.

That’s just because you don’t use them often though. If they were a daily driver it’d be different.

I think that if you have a good mental model of how awk works, then you know times that it’s the right tool for the job. And on those occasions you’ve got plenty of time to go search for some syntax, make a coffee, maybe even go for a run all with change to spare compared to using pretty much anything else.

I will admit, that if I can do it with a few greps, seds and cuts then I tend to just use those first, because there no thinking involved for me.

The problem with that part of the book is that it's wildly historically inaccurate. The Diggers and the Levellers were not just trying to enact a much more egalitarian society 100 years before Rousseau but were also (along with a bunch of other non conformist thinkers and doers across Europe) busy producing a vast body of populist pamphlets that later Enlightenment thinkers drew on, stripped of their theological content and rendered more palatable. Dismissing these as peasant revolts is the sort of intellectual snobbery that most early modern historians got over 50 years ago when it was realised that the Enlightenment didn't suddenly spring from nothing in France in 1715 and actually started much earlier in the protestant lands. Maybe this hasn't penetrated David Graeber's corner of academia yet?

It's good to see the Jesuit Relations (basically the National Geographic of its time) being introduced to a popular audience but the notion that the ideals of liberty and social equality didn't exist in European thought prior to contact between American and European cultures is just wrong.
