A government granted monopoly is something we should all challenge. Sometimes it is through rules and regulations and compliance regimes. Sometimes it is outright and blatant like issuing licenses and medallions.

A monopoly that emerges naturally from network effects (like Metcalfe) is always temporary (that could be decades) till new tech emerges. That is a different monopoly issue. We should be wary of legislation there as it might actually entrench the monopolists.

The biggest fear Facebook has now is Tik Tok.

If someone can break into your property to steal your painting they can break into your crypto wallet to steal your NFT.
Caveat emptor. This is no different from due diligence when making any other form of investment.

Observation: there is an incentive for the buyer to maintain the content (or perhaps even to replace with higher value content) at the URL. Perhaps NFT owners can band together to form a co-op / condo association if an NFT-content host site/domain goes down to maintain it. The next set of features I keep reading about in cryptocurrency/NFT space is "governance", which could cover this type of responsibility.
> The stuff you describe about physical art is only valid within a jurisdiction that has legislated ownership of physical items.

I am not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure jurisdictions that don't have that legislation are vanishingly rare. Maybe North Korea?

NFTs piggy-back off the legislation of developed countries. All of those defend ownership of physical goods.
We could argue mainstream free systems (GNU/Linux or BSD) have also become bloated over time.

Could we instead think of this as two different types of marketplaces?

The first covers physically scarce high value items. The second covers more easily reproducible lower-value items. The first is the market where people transact to make the compensation they need. The second is, instead, almost a social network. It helps create economic value by enabling broader exchange of assets while also decoupling those assets from compensation needs of the artists. It boosts/hurts the artists profile.

Maybe in the first you are selling a painting that took months and can attract a high price whereas the second is where as an artist you distribute scribbles. You aren’t worried about making money from those when you mint NFTs from them.

Not at all familiar with art market and if this is how things work today but curious if this is a logical take.
Is there any extra cost to hiring non-American workers though? I do wonder if we’ll have some politicians who will try to make it harder for companies to just shortcut to cheap labor and try to never use American workers. But I also see foreign workers at my shop demanding what we make and getting it, which I think is great and I hope that trend holds. Then there’s no cheap labor alternative and comes down to merit.

However… when you mix in the politics of Diversity and Inclusion that is sweeping our industry right now, it will be more enticing and possible to hire someone who isn’t an evil white person.
Hmm, maybe I'm wrong, but I like brutalism, I really really like the pictures he uses to to state his point, the ones he calls ugly. I don't like the ones he uses as examples of beauty.
The mouse "driver" situation drives me crazy. What the hell are they doing in there!? I won't install them. I buy simple mice, and don't need anything that Windows doesn't provide. I fear that they're embedding something nefarious in there, like surreptitious crypto mining.

We used to get real work done on a 10 MB HDD. We had space for DOS, Windows 3.11, Lotus, and Wordperfect, and there was room left over for Doom. Now computers are many orders of magnitude "faster," yet I find that I'm waiting for things to render on my $4,000 laptop. It's infuriating at times.
Anyone know why some code's sections are cross out? (eg. page 326)
I disagree one one thing that minimalism provides 'efficiency'. On contrary, it's much more difficult to have minimalistic door installed without any edgings, as edgings are hiding your sloppy work. Even when they are hand carved. This is to distract you from shortcomings. Same with borderless windows stretching from ceiling to floor. You are not saving on borders, you spending much more to have them removed.
So it's been trivial to find all of the missing money during the many recent crypto hacks ?

Not so sure about that.

>>Try using VSCode in terminal mode when you're logged into a remote machine via SSH and see how well that goes.

On the other had vscode is the best experience I've had editing files remotely. Unlike emacs where you have install and configure tramp. The experience in vscode was seamless. In fact the Python vscode plugin is clever enough to understand you are opening a remote python project. It will ensure the local venv is set up with all your tooling(flake, black etc)

None of this possible with Emacs.

Emacs gives a good editing experience. But we have moved one from coding being merely a text typing excercise.

> Maybe he should simply stop using Google, if he is unhappy with the way they conduct their business.

Sadly, I can’t. For a business user, there’s really no alternative to Google. 95% of my search and referral is through Google and Google maps. If I stop using them, I stop having businesses.

I don’t think it’s nefarious, I just think it’s abuse of market position.

Do you think it’s ok for a business to ask all employees to sign up for anti-union material. Every time they log in to their employee profile?

For me personally, it's just ease of use. I can open a terminal, type `wsl` and it "just works".

I use a mac for my job by at home I have a Windows PC and using WSL has been great to use for my side business/projects.

I have no need for "total control" over the emulation. I much prefer linux to the windows command line and this gives me that.

The original response being disputed was that people initially fall in lust rather than love. Infatuation and lust seem like different things to me
To me, the parent comment reads as "you're a freak who will not reproduce so your opinion doesn't matter".

Instead of engaging with the multitude of experiences of love and falling in love, the author discards the experiences by calling the person an outsider with nothing to contribute. That's quite unhelpful for the discussion.
Linux is a nicer development environment, Windows is a nicer desktop environment. I use WSL2 full time for development (python/django, ruby/rails) and it's almost as nice as being on OSX. Almost.
Pretty much, yes. I'm sure there's a few things that have changed, and a newer book is welcome, but Emacs hasn't really changed much in 30 years.

Native applications.

That, or an entirely new approach to application platform than the HTML+CSS+JS/wasm abomination that we have today, an api and underlying platform that is actually built for making graphical user interfaces for interactive computer programs, rather than glorified newspaper pages.

I want a platform that allows for the creation of tools that are easy and convenient to use to create nice looking, performant, unbloated UI, tools like the winforms designer or JFormDesigner or qt designer or glade.. What do they have in common ? They produce fairly unbloated code for their target language/platform, are nice and convenient to use and are not able to generate good html/css/js output.
In the (power)lifting scene, I have really enjoyed the articles by Austin Baraki et al. from Barbell Medicine on pains and aches in the context of physical activities. See for example https://startingstrength.com/article/aches-and-pains or https://www.barbellmedicine.com/blog/the-barbell-medicine-gu...

In a nutshell, the idea that there's a straightforward causal link between something being physically broken in your body and you feeling pain is simply wrong. Sometimes people feel pain in various body parts without any detectable physical changes and sometimes classical training injuries, like herniated spinal disks, can be found by medical imaging without the person feeling any pain at all. Also the common advice to rest until the pain subsides is often - but no always - wrong; there are plenty of anecdotes of people with completely fucked up knees or ankles or back starting heavy powerlifting program and suddenly healing from their injuries or at least learning to use their body in such a way that the injuries don't bother them anymore.

The US seems to have a monopoly on the ability to pay top talent (at least in the west).

At the high end of the talent pool, I don't think opening up is going to have a significant impact. We're mostly already internationally mobile or can demand competitive salaries, and a new supply of mid-tier talent will only create more capital-deploying opportunities.

I'm a computer vision person with a good grasp on 3d geometry, SLAM, linear algebra, statistics, filtering, etc.

We've had budget and I've been trying to hire another me for at least half a year with no luck (western Europe). Thousands of applicants and the couple of interesting candidates were snapped up before we could move (and likely for more than we could pay).

I'm about to leave and go on the job market, and I have no concerns whatsoever about landing a high paying job. It also helps that I have ties to the bay area and am more than willing to go back.
I think it disrupts it in corners. I'm fully embracing it in the company I'm building, and several of my tech-startup-running friends are too, though I know plenty of people who aren't.
> so how do we know which platform is “right”?

The right one is the one the original author of the artwork released it on. The thing about NFTs is the connection between digital items and their authors.

If you're like most art collectors you'd follow the author anyway. You'd buy one because you're a fan of the author and enter their nft sales funnel.
As someone working remotely, I'd be hard pressed to work for a non-US company, because other places in my experience don't pay as well.
The payroll, taxes, and labour laws are a big barrier at the moment. Even if you are happy hiring someone as an independent contractor to simplify the first two, how do you know that you aren't breaking local laws, e.g. about disguised employment? You still have to be familiar with local laws and regulations.

It seems like something that an intermediary could help with, and a few do exist, although they are pricey.

Simplification of regulations into a standard framework (without weakening them) would be a huge win here but I can't imagine that happening anytime soon, even in the EU, as labour laws are so sensitive.
You can launch into a WSL shell in seconds without having to wait for a VM to spin up. WSL doesn't run the full slew of linux processes and uses the same memory space, so both CPU and memory utilisation is much lower than a VM. You don't need to contend with all the fiddly configuration parameters and config of VM software, and it integrates into the Windows environment by default, again without fiddly configuration.

If you're doing sysadmin work or web development, and need to run Windows software as well or are on hardware with better Windows support, it's hard to see why you wouldn't use WSL.

To your point on total control of the emulation, not everybody needs that. If your use case means you need a real Linux OS environment, then sure, WSL isn't for you.
Moore's Law is doubling transistors per area, not IPC, not Mhz, nor bandwidth.
I have had a peruse of the product website, but I'm still kind of confused having never used a product in this niche before. When I hear "operations", as a developer/administrator I think of things like DB migrations, data archiving, crisis management, routine deploy related tasks, system and software upgrades, metrics/monitoring and associated tooling, etc.

At first blush, I can't work out how a website would be particularly helpful in orchestrating those type of actions.

Can you give some examples of "operations" that fall right in your wheelhouse?
I hear you saying that you like to be able to run native Outlook and Teams while you work on things that need to deploy to Linux. Am I reading that right?

I mainly programmed in Cython for a few years, and never came across standard Python code it wouldn't run. It's just usually only a few times faster than Python using unmodified Python, as opposed to 50x-200x faster or more with type annotations, GIL turned off for bottleneck functions, @ decorators etc.

I loved it, being able to float between Python and C in a program, writing in Python whatever was more convenient in Python, in C whatever was more convenient in C, or anywhere in between.

"While pure Python scripts can be compiled with Cython, it usually results only in a speed gain of about 20%-50%."

Remote work come with sinchronization and communication costs, international remote work even more so.

it's not a given that an entirely remote workforce is more cost effective than a partial remote workforce - outsourcing has been there for decades after all, and it hasn't been an existential threat to local jobs - remote worker lack the middleman costs but also the organizational support and work structure.
I am often happy to give up full control in exchange for convenience. WSL2 works fantastic for very quickly getting a Linux box up and is pre-configured for interoperability with Windows. Sometimes I don’t want to mess around getting these types of tools up myself.
US definitely pays a lot higher than other markets, and that definitely talks.
Canadians who read the news and keep abreast of such things would have a bad view of things (as they should). But, the reality is the USA still has all these things even if cracks are appearing. Don't let the hype cycle and media's focus on the bad lose sight of the big picture. I wouldn't expect many Canadians are immigrating anyway as you are in the top 10 well governed countries globally.

Agreed, America's biggest problem is that 40% of Americans believe they are #1 at everything :). We should be stealing ideas left and right from other countries and instead we are stagnating under the belief that only we know how to do things.
Yes.

Emacs takes backwards compatibility seriously. Not kernel-level seriously, but seriously.

Moreover, a book written 20 years ago was still written more than 20 years after initial Emacs release. By then, a lot of best practices were already discovered and they remain common in Elisp code to this day.

There was a lot of development in that time and many things became easier to do, but the basics of writing Elisp programs didn't change.

IMO the book is especially worth a read if you want to change your perspective: it does a really good job at showing that Emacs is, in essence, a runtime environment and a development platform akin to web browsers, with a huge stdlib of libraries and applications, and focused on mostly-text display. Next time you find yourself reaching for ncurses, stop and go for Elisp instead. You'll get the (optional) GUI and sane defaults for free, along with rich text editing functionality where needed.
Are you an architect?
I have not seen any compelling project successfully bridge analog world content with digital signatures for blockchain purposes. These things always seem to require some trusted party like a government to support them.

That said, I suspect something along these lines may some day be the "killer app" that NFTs/smart contracts need but are currently missing. The scarcity of atoms combined with the public, immutable digital records on a blockchain ledger. Too bad we are 12+ years into the blockchain and I've yet to see a compelling use case.

As others have mentioned, the preference for the Windows desktop environment, but also Microsoft are putting work into development tools that integrate into WSL quite well.

For example, VSCode integrates fairly seamlessly into WSL, so your app can be running in WSL but your editor in native Windows and they manage all the complexity of the host -> vm communication for you.

But your JS code has a bug in it while the Tcl code does not.
Yes of course it would be OK for a business to ask employees to sign up for anti-union material. Why not?

I don't think it would be OK to demand businesses are pro union, or pro anything that endangers their business. Why would they be?

Even if you feel you can't escape Google, I don't think it is abuse of market power if they advertise their interests. Maybe it is just market power, without the abuse part.

You could campaign for people to stop using Google, if it means so much to you. Then businesses wouldn't rely so much on Google anymore.

Edit: do you think it is OK for unions to abuse their power? They are essentially forming monopolies and then using their monopoly power to enforce things.

The article fails to mention existence of graph databases or graph theory, except for tuple spaces which leads to that direction. Property graph model is the keywords to search for if you are interested in graph databases' suitability for data organisation: http://graphdatamodeling.com/Graph%20Data%20Modeling/GraphDa...

With graph databases you can easily and efficiently model any kind of network, including ones that are hierarchical or almost hierarchical by allowing a node to refer to multiple parent nodes instead of one.

My original idea with my bookmark extension Spellbook was this latter kind of graph, and I implemented a prototype called Grimoire using Ruby on Rails and Neo4j graph database that worked very well.

The Spellbook currently only allows adding new bookmarks into the hierarchical structure imposed by browser APIs, but features an easy to use search feature to find the right category. Spellbook is available for Chrome and Firefox, but the Firefox version seems broken again by their API changes: https://github.com/peterhil/spellbook
Windows is "better" at enterprise, big companies give windows machines to thousands of employees. Big contracts, vpns, proxies, active record, etc. Microsoft sells a "working-integrated" (or maybe easy to setup) solution.
Developers work best under Unix envs, most tooling is built around unix. Thus, having a usable dev environment on windows becomes easier with WSL2. That's where I think WSL2 fits well.
Not a fan of small talk, especially while working (I differentiate conversation and small talk). But some people really go to extremes. Perhaps social media is the cause here because people are finally so afraid of each other that having to answer something feels like a terrorist attack.

I do prefer the polite gesture of small talk to not saying anything in some cases and can understand that people generally think so as well. And in some instances you really meet a new friend. Unlikely in business environments and yes there are some people that do too much small talk. But that isn't really an imposition.
If I have to be an architect for my opinion to matter then there's something very, very wrong.

With regards to timezones, there are a bunch of software companies which are completely remote and global which operate fine.

JetBrains Rider is a perfectly fine IDE that works on Linux.
Way better and way more powerful than VSCode and Monodevelop.
And in my opinion also better than Visual Studio (though I didn't try 2019 and 2022, Rider does everything I need).
That's interesting. I've never tried it, but having it "just work" would indeed be nice, IF it always did the right thing. The first time it made a bad assumption that I had to tweak a config file to fix, I'd be running back to a "real" VM host. Have you ever had to do modify how it runs? (Maybe that's not even possible.)

That's what I love about Barbican in London. It's really hard to convey in pictures, but despite being a brutalist building, it's totally unpredictable and different at every turn and is alive in a much deeper sense than "organic shapes" or wooden panels that we get nowadays. It's a maze of a block that might be annoying to get through if you're in a hurry but is so much more natural in its nature than a typical city block.

I guess it's just way more expensive to design than those standard boxes we see everywhere.
