Well, except for the 50+ people who upvoted my comments and the dozens of people who made similar commentary about the website -- but I guess they don't count as real people because they don't agree with you?
Thanks; I googled it and the press was heaviest in April 2017 for a new London office, so this is a helpful correction for me. Though deeper inspection found 2013 (https://www.facebook.com/Cloudflare/posts/10151742549255432), so I probably should've just googled harder.

It also changes the equation substantially since the rest of my assumptions were based on 2017, though I wonder how much the environment also changed between 2011 and 2021, brexit aside?

I wish this caught on more. Unfortunately, it's all tied up in what HR departments use to justify their existence.

I was going to cite the same section, but what the author fails to notice or mention is a massive amount of inflation circles the planet right now that has not been seen since the 70's, which is perhaps before his time, but he may have noticed being based in London the BBC's Faisal Islam has already dropped it into a report that the Bank of England is seeing 5% interest rates in 2022 with inflation remaining on its current trajectory! When money becomes tight due to things like inflation, selling becomes harder because people want quality because it adds value and this "London-based employees who prioritised technological purity over commercial success" is to put it another way, quality, which will hurt the competition. When money is cheap due to low interest rates, people throw it around like confetti, when money becomes expensive, we will see who is not wearing a swimming costume when the tide goes out.

Well... no. Crypto is crypto. It's the adaptation of a greek word to be used as prefix in the english language. For some time some people used it as short for cryptography. But most other people didn't.

It makes no sense to me that those people that assimilated and adapted the word to their context are now upset that other people are assimilating and adapting the word for their own context.

Limited resources applied over a long period of time can lead to rich resources in certain areas. I’m not sure what you are disagreeing with here.

Not the parent post, but working in finance, multiple products had a "scrambling" feature which replaced many fields (names, addresses, etc) with random text, and that was used upon restoring any non-production environments. It's not proper anonymization since there are all kinds of IDs that still are linkable (account numbers, reference numbers) to identities but can't be changed without breaking all the processes that are needed even in testing, but it's a simple action that does reduce some risks.

You didn't convince anyone. They already agreed with you. Some people like it, some people don't but it's all subjective no matter how hard you try to prove otherwise.

Yes, there was a subtext of:

1) I'd like my company to be doing better ("what an innovative thought")

and

2) It isn't, because the engineers are trying to make the product better and sales can't shift it (but these two things definitely aren't connected and due to me not being in NYC which will magically solve these issues)
That's the Brexiters logic, but it turns out UK was not only contributing to the EU but also trading. Now it doesn't need to contribute anymore but it also lost exports, access to talent and so on.

>The LLVM PTX backend is still very much WIP and often doesn't have things and/or breaks.

What is missing in your opinion aside from working debug info? I've worked on experimental CUDA support in GNAT (the Ada frontend of GCC), using LLVM's ptx backend to target GPUs and it was mostly working.
Let's be serious, you're not the target market. Anyone who is using minimalist software is not the target market for any corporate software. The fact it would drive you away is a feature and not bug.
I could say the same thing about your commentary -- sounds like you just can't accept the fact that people don't like it -- which ought to tell you just how obnoxious you're acting right now.

Unless you have something new to add to the conversation, it's beyond trollish to repeatedly assert that I shouldn't be allowed to speak my mind (or even respond to people who replied to me) just because I don't agree with you.
When I first heard about it a few years ago I did indeed think that it was ugly-looking and the whole idea rather pointless.

I've recently re-discovered it, though and somehow this time around actually taken a liking to it, and have smuggled it into a few reports I've had to prepare since then.

Yeah, I've recently done exactly this for one of the hangs. Unfortunately Apple was extremely unhelpful, it took a few back-and-forths with DTS to get a response from someone who even bothered to actually read my bug report. (I just got a few generic replies "please submit an Xcode project" first). But even then they just kept asking me for a way to reproduce the issue, which I couldn't, since it happened on a customers machine, and disappeared after a restart. Even though the issue was reported multiple times over a couple of months by various customers, it took me a lot of time to actually get a usable sample from a customer. But apparently even a sample of the process showing exactly where Apple's frameworks are hanging isn't enough for them to start investigating.

I try to report all of the issues I see to Apple, but at some point there's nothing I can do except complain that Apple's frameworks are buggy.

The biggest problem with these bugs is that customers always seem to think it's an app bug, and there's nothing the app developer can do except hope that Apple fixes the issue. One early sandbox bug took Apple about 3 years to fix. To be honest I don't even know if they fixed it, it was never mentioned in a changelist, it's just that I stopped getting reports of the issue at some point.

I disagree. There are definitely languages where you could easily differentiate between a "length-int" and a "coordinate-int" in the type system, while still representing it as only an int in memory at runtime.

I belive both Haskell and Ada can do this for instance.
In my opinion the article was well written and well researched (many sources), and to separate different topics but relatable it used different sections.

> Size

As the author mentions, many users uses budget computers or something like a raspberry pi and not a big gaming rig, but you also have to consider the network usage, all that data needs to be downloaded, that in it self is a cost for the network for every computer running that distro.

I work from my laptop when I'm traveling, I use my phone as wifi hotspot, download gigabytes of data for installing some small app is not feasible.

And you also have to consider poor countries, in poor countries you don't have infinite downloads nor the largest drives.

I remember the old days of the critique against Windows from the Linux community, Windows forces you to constantly upgrade hardware even though that old machine still works fine. I guess this is now true for Linux too.
The Slice website is merely an interface for interacting with its contracts on Ethereum. Just this fact has profound implications on ownership and privacy, and makes it hard to compare it with any centralised service.

True ownership means that no-one can ever stop you from selling content, or earn from it. It also comes with the freedom of selling part of your ownership to others.

It introduces the concept of NFTs with objective value (based on slicer accumulated ETH) which makes it possible to leverage the unique characteristics of web3 and NFTs in real world applications.

Composability makes it possible to seamlessly combine Slice with any other contract or web3 service. This is the case for example for Slice used as tool to handle payments to DAOs, or to establish temporary project based on collaborations between DAOs and individuals.

I agree that at first sight it may seem like it introduces unneeded complications with respect to traditional centralised services (especially from a customer's perspective), but comparing Slice to existing marketplaces doesn't really have sense as it effectively represents a new way of owning, creating and selling content.
the flatpak sandbox UX is bleak. right now, you have to check the JSON file you linked to check how much access a flatpak program gets.
i disagree with the --own-name and --talk-name flags (i think this is for screensharing; zoom should use the screensharing portal instead. letting zoom talk to gnome shell directly could be bad.).

--socket=x11 is a massive hole in the sandbox, since x11 does not have a security model - any client can observe and manipulate any other client. for x11, a viable solution would be running flatpak apps in xephyr, but flatpak doesn't do that. long-term, wayland is a better solution.

Can anyone expand on what the author is saying here/validate it with personal experience? I have never thought of AI advances as “only” being possible in Europe, or of the US tech scene as reluctant to innovate.

Sounds like the author is upset that Brexit has closed the valve on the pipeline of cheap labour from EU workers. There's no shortage of talent in London trust me, it's just that you're going to have to start paying more than a pittance to get it. Brexit so far has been a positive thing for tech workers' salaries.
Likely a prequel to "leaving NYC for SF".
Extend the idea of NFTs to actual registered ownership of a thing you care about, like the title of your house, or your rental agreement, rather than a fucking pixelated jpg a child would be ashamed of, and it might look like something a bit more representative of a worthwhile future.

I am not trying to make any point, I am genuinely curious where dpkg is going to put those files since its the first time I read you can dot `dpkg --root=$HOME -i mypackage.deb`.

For instance I always do `python3 -m pip install --user wormhole` or `pip install --user wormhole` instead of sudoing my way to permissions hell. Python apps get installed in $HOME/.local/bin, so no cruft for other users.

But stuff installed with deb packages often have hard coded pathways and assumptions of where and how their files are run.

So I think it's fair to ask in reply to someone implying that `dpkg --root=$HOME -i mypackage.deb` is as clean/same as a flatpack behaviour "It installs only in my profile, so another user on the same machine doesn't have access. You can't do that with a .deb!"... It's fair to ask "where do those files in the deb package go ?" because if it works as implied (no pollution of the OS) I am certainly going to start testing installing things that way.

That’s mostly due to video drivers not being under nix’s control deliberately (if packages would depend on them as well, instead of a stub, there would be exponentially more build for each driver). On nixos this is solved by a specifically-placed stub, while it will be distro specific elsewhere, so it may not work for a random distro (that’s where “hacks” come into the picture, choosing a non-nixos distro specific lib as the stub and it will work just fine)
I find it funny that desktop search engines are not mentioned with a word here. This would be the first place to start when using Linux on a desktop (but of course not a server, i.e. without any desktop environment).

On the other hand, maintainers can and have inserted (accidentally or not) vulnerabilities in software, and ignore developer wishes (like "please stop distributing this ancient unmaintained software without this warning that says it is ancient and unmaintained"), which reflects poorly on the developer in the mind of the user.
