I would say that someone who is _not_ tribal would be more likely to live in a larger town or city, have more formal education, speaks a "foreign" language such as English, French or Arabic, may have parents who come from different villages, and even different different ethnic backgrounds (Wikipedia lists about 9 local languages and similar number of ethnic groups in Ghana) (1).

Someone who _is_ tribal is well, not detribalised (2). And is able to say which specific tribe (geographic area, language, customs etc) they were raised in.

I'm not sure that per capita is a very useful rubric to measure over time. Like I'm not saying there's no relation to population size, if you compare a tiny country to a large one, but it's not clear to me that there's a strong relationship - why a government would be expected to lock up 5% more journalists if the population grew by 5%. Or why if a country of 30 million jailed 100 journalists it should be necessarily be considered less repressive than if a country of 40 million jailed 100.

This kind of topic always reminds me of this quote from Asimov's Foundation:

-----

Hardin continued: "It isn't just you. It's the whole Galaxy. Pirenne heard Lord Dorwin's idea of scientific research. Lord Dorwin thought the way to be a good archaeologist was to read all the books on the subject—written by men who were dead for centuries. He thought that the way to solve archaeological puzzles was to weight the opposing authorities. And Pirenne listened and made no objections. Don't you see that there's something wrong with that?"

Again the note of near-pleading in his voice.

Again no answer. He went on: "And you men and half of Terminus as well are just as bad.. We sit here, considering the Encyclopedia the all-in-all. We consider the greatest end of science is the classification of past data. It is important, but is there no further work to be done? We're receding and forgetting, don't you see? Here in the Periphery they've lost nuclear power. In Gamma Andromeda, a power plant has undergone meltdown because of poor repairs, and the Chancellor of the Empire complains that nuclear technicians are scarce. And the solution? To train new ones? Never! Instead they're to restrict nuclear power."

And for the third time: "Don't you see? It's galaxy-wide. It's a worship of the past. It's a deterioration—a stagnation!”

That would cause (relative) avoidance of the distributors - and in the case of APK, any site could be a distributor.
I'm older than you and I definitely prefer text for programming related tutorials but I'll jump straight to videos for more practical things.

Reading a recipe is fine for a lot of cooking, but some things like "How to spatchcock a chicken" benefit greatly from a video demonstration.

Similarly I took up knitting a while ago, and watching videos was the only way I could learn the techniques, trying to do it from written instructions was impossible.

I sort of assume the main benefit of assuming no NaNs is being able to replace `a == a` with `true`?

The handling of isnan is certainly a big question. I can see wanting to respect that, but I can also see littering your code with assertions that isnan is false and compiling with normal optimizations and then hoping that later recompiling with fast-math and all its attendant "fun, safe optimizations" will let you avoid any performance penalty for all those asserts.

> If you can get the resources and talent, you could build something to win the next decade while everyone else is scrambling to grab what is sitting right in front of them.

This is what is keeping me motivated and above all the bullshit. I have a really good team at a small company with a ton of latitude to do the right thing by our customers. We are on track to capture a huge chunk of our target market. Our competition seems to be idle/nonexistent right now. I like to believe its a combination of this "apocalyptic mood" you describe combined with the complexity of our customers' businesses. No one wants to mount an effective battle against bank core logic from 1990 when they think society is about to fall apart.

I think a big part of this path is avoiding [social] media as much as possible. Hackernews is about as much as I can stand these days.

Look up "monopoly". Users are not the customer. Equipment had, as it still does, MS pre-installed. You could not buy a system without, and contracts were written such that vendors could not afford to offer an alternative.

Microsoft worked fine for the actual customers, the system integrators, because all it needed to do was install and register. Once the system was delivered to their customer, software failures were Somebody Else's Problem, and did not affect the actual customer.

Economically speaking, software failure costs were exported to the hapless users, who were not sophisticated enough to blame anybody, and not in a position to demand satisfaction from anybody.

Sure, in a constrained sense at least. There are things I wouldn't do/say because I don't especially want to do/say them in a professional context. But I seldom, if ever, feel that I need to act in a truly inauthentic way at work.

A little bit of false enthusiasm now and then? Sure, it makes it easier to get through the day. In both a professional and personal context.
What in the world? He served 9 more years and got into Special Forces after blowing the whistle. Then he left to pursue a PHD and was likely on a path to an easy life. The fact that it all got derailed by what sounds like late onset schizophrenia doesn't mean he was treated poorly.
It doesn't hurt that they are killing themselves, the problem is they put higher healthcare costs on everyone else and then the second hand smoke is deadly. Plus the last place I worked, all the higher level guys smoked off 2 to 5 hours a day, then they complained about staying late to finish their work, and I'd walk out after 8 hours because I was done. The bosses didn't care, because they also smoked.
One thing I keep thinking when I read of how yourself and Ken (and others) reverse engineer these chips...

Are these devices and chips still plentiful enough to justify destroying them for this purpose?

I'm sorry if that sounds like a harsh criticism, I don't intend it that way and I'm genuinely curious regarding how you and others doing similar things with these vintage chips weigh up the pros and cons of going through with the disassembly of any particular example.

I find these articles fascinating and hope to continue learning from the content. But I can't help but think that should these devices be celebrated by actually using them rather than tearing them apart?

You must have stepped on some toes there by bringing in religion, but it’s a solid point overall. A lot of artistic greatness comes down to familiarity, marketing, money and luck. It’s possible that experts can determine the difference between one of the best songs ever and other merely great songs, though I suspect it’s largely a matter of opinion and also some measure of self consumed bullshit like with wine snobs or audiophiles. There’s a big difference between bad, competent, and great. I’m not so sure about the various shadings of great, at least objectively. Subjectively I have my own personal favorites that speak deeply to me and that I highly value.
> but this point is one of the most insular HN-bubble comments I've seen...I have never spoken to anyone who's wanted or needed the source code for Bash or Zsh.

It might be in-bubble, but "I have never spoken to anyone who..." is a poor heuristic for evaluating the superiority/inferiority of a product.

I have also never spoken to anyone who needed a repair manual for a truck, but I can probably agree with the statement that truck companies that publish comprehensive repair manuals are better than truck companies that don't.

Similarly, I can guess having the source for bash or zsh probably helps people who work with them more closely than I do.
> only relative values or `px` should be used.

Both px and pt (and cm, mm, in etc.) are absolute (in the sense that they don't depend on the current font size, only on the pixel density and scale factor of the display). So there is no reason to prefer px to the other units.

In traditional typography, pt is relative to the size of a font, but in CSS it is just an absolute measurement like px.

See: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-3/#absolute-lengths

The tutorial you link to is wrong, which is weird since it is written by the inventor of CSS! It might be because it is out of date and reflect the original intention of CSS, not how it actually turned out.

Originally, the intention of CSS was that px should correspond to a pixel and pt/mm/in to physical dimensions, so the ratio between px and pt would vary depending on the pixel density. But people started to specify font sizes in px, which meant text would just become unreadably small when high-density displays were introduced. So instead px was redefined as a physical unit rounded to nearest pixel, and the other absolute units defined relative to this.

If you care about your family or your civilization, you should be doing your part to help the big picture in what ever way you can. It matters. Help your community members live healthier, more meaningful lives. Help people stay away from social media and focused on making themselves and the world better with micro improvements, day by day.

Which is a function of the amount of healthcare delivered greatly increasing (and/or potential to be a recipient of increased amount of healthcare in the event of an emergency).
Sorry, but I need to push back against this sentiment. Where is the limit? It strikes me as exclusionary, and many other young, educated Germans have agreed with me on this specific point. When I lived in California, I met Chinese Americans who had lived in the United States longer than my family (1850s, 5+ generations). With a purely reductionist view, does everyone remain an immigrant in the United States ad infinitum except Native Americans? Is that also true in Malaysia, Canada, Peru, Taiwan, Brazil, New Zealand, Fiji, and Australia from their/your cultural view? It strikes me as "Ad Absurdum". To really stir the pot: Considering the recent Black Lives Matter movement, are all African descent people absolutely and continuously for all eternity "immigrants" where ever they live away from the African continent? Repeat for the descendents of the Indian subcontinent, whom form one of the largest diasporas in human history. I have watched and read multiple interviews with Özlem Türeci, and, each time, she specifically pushes back against this posturing: "Oh, but you are 'truly' Turkish."
Ok, so you are indeed advocating for the sidecar approach (and on this I fully agree, especially this Vault example)

This paper seems to be mourning people no longer willing to take risks. So why are we so risk-averse now? I think taking a risk involves some courage, but also some desperation, and we just aren't that desperate anymore. There are no existential threats like foreign enemies, we have pretty great means for coping with boredom, and our best minds have a university pipeline that will safely funnel them to an upper-class corporate life.

The rate was about 1 floor per week once they got above ground.

I don't see Buf's play as being about scale or performance, but rather developer experience. I think that that with the right tooling, the developer experience of strong schemas with code generators can far surpass JSON/REST. If that happens then the performance/scalability benefit is just a bonus.

Will people pay for it? That's not my area of expertise. But, I would note that Vagrant started out as a collection of Ruby scripts for wrangling existing VM products, which probably few people imagined would be something people would pay for. And just this morning, Hashicorp went public at a market cap of $18.5B. It is possible to build a business around developer tools. Not easy, certainly, but possible.

I think, the lock with the counter became inoperable instead of rolling over and had to be replaced.

It might have been for the US postal service.
Since you use the german word of Rechtsstaat, let me just say that Germany has major problems with power abuse among the police as well. As a white middle-class person, I only experienced it once myself, but it is what my immigrant friends consistently tell me, and I do tend to believe them. A major difference between the US and Germany is that this abuse is far less deadly usually.

A rage-inducing example in recent years was the case of Sven W., who was beaten, abused and insulted by police for being gay. After complaining, he was then dragged in front of the court as the accused by the local DA multiple times. (https://www.queer.de/detail.php?article_id=39308)
On the one hand, this is a good thing for the easy ability to access public information.

On the other hand, this removes an important backup source of funding for the US federal courts.

On the gripping hand, it is bonkers that court admins are wise to prepare for the 2023 government shutdown.
