And they delivered alsa and pulseaudio (which used alsa). And now it's alsa and pipewire.
SW is hard. Why not develop alsa ? Why do they had to do pulseaudio which shiped broken and needed years to work properly.
There is a big difference between choice and being forced broken SW because "it is inovative".
(the only inovation Pulseaudio brought me was using killall -9 pulseaudiod to make sound work again).

The problem with linux is the same as with all SW: every couple of years comes someone who declares that almost everything done until now is crap and must be forget to make room for the latest and greatest AI/ML/UI/UX concept. They are never able to make something that lasts (see Gnome and KDE - every release is incompatible with the previous and future versions).

It's not just that the grading was on a curve, it's that they learned nothing at all but still got a better grade than most of the class (implying that no one learned anything). Almost better to just have the whole class fail, then at least the department will notice that the professor is useless.

I don't think people should "go after yachts" or that the labor market is unjust. People are as free as ever to choose where to work. Saying otherwise is simply a lie. And the government, especially the progressives who, on the whole have never run a single business between them, shouldn't tell people how to run their businesses.

neat idea, but i'm guessing that a rewritten function would be nightmarish to debug... or no?

wonder if it would be possible to do automated rewrites of recursive functions as iterative ones. specifically for cases where stack memory that grows in a recursive implementation can be replaced by a few long lived temporaries... like the good ol' fibonacci function.

This is all pretty confusing to me, because it's discussing a non-cryptographic RNG but talking about invertibility and "having been cracked" as a motivation for replacing that RNG. If you need a secure RNG, you use a CSPRNG. For all other cases: why is "having been cracked" motivating?

This was always my complaint with PCG, that it talked about "difficulty to predict" and its suitability for... some kinds? of security applications? I don't know what those applications are, but somehow PCG targets them? If you care about this stuff, you should simply be using getrandom(2).

For what it's worth: I get why you'd want a high-quality generator of insecure random data (for simulations and stuff), and that there's an interesting discussion to have about what generator does the best job at handling that workload. I'm just saying it seems to have nothing to do with invertibility and crackability.
I've seen similar headlines from NYT and WaPo. I think this is irresponsible journalism. I live in a very divided swing state and while some conversations are uncomfortable, no one wants war or thinks it's necessary.

I only ever see news headlines and online-political-radicals (both left & right) making this claim. My left-leaning family is terrified that Trump is building a literal army to blitzkrieg through the country, and my right-leaning family believes Biden's tuesday announcement will be about covid camps and strict federal limitations on interstate travel.

It's unclear even where the boundary for 'sides' would fall. Anti-racists vs everyone who isn't 100% onboard with race essentialism? Vaxxers vs non vaxxers? gun owners vs controllers? Fundamentalist Roe v Wade repealers against everyone else? Climate change denires vs green energy people? I don't think any of those align on exact, or even similar axes.

It's just more & more fear-based "news". I can only assume it's because legacy outlets can hardly turn a buck these days. I can't figure out what the motivation would be otherwise.

Some of my childhood was spent living on military bases.

A friend of mine was caught shoplifting before he left the PX (the general store on the base). The MPs put him in a room, and summoned his father, an officer. In the Air Force, officers are considered responsible for the behavior of their children (on and off the base). The AF considers an officer unfit for command if he cannot control his children.

The MP, with the permission of the father, gave my friend a good lecture about just what was going to happen to him if he did it again. Scared the crap out of him. Never did it again.

What they did was not OK, but it's clearly not what you are making it out to be.

Those people ARE facing repercussions. Many of them are facing prosecution. We should avoid this type of partisan rhetoric. I know it's a nice talking point to call it a coup and all and helps get clicks, but let's look at things as they actually happened.

Well, you will pay these 20k only the 40-ish years you'll work, while you'll pay your US health care insurance until you die. The average American pays more for healthcare over their live than the average European, and the outcomes are objectively worse.

Also, EU governments provide retirement benefits while the US's doesn't. This is the main expenditure for these governments.

Not saying that your argument has not some truth in it, but it's definitively wrong in the case of healthcare.

You're oddly being downvoted for that. Not being paid nearly as highly in tech in general, detracts from how much money is in the ecosystem for doing start-ups.

If you can sock back a retirement working for big tech for 10-12 years (counting equity), it frees you up massively to do whatever you like, whether funding as an angel, or self-funding your own start-ups. It's not uncommon for people you know in tech in Silicon Valley to pitch in on early small funding rounds if you've started something new and are rounding up some early funds. Multiply that wide process by the scale of the US tech industry - at the small and large ends - and all the wealth that has been created in it over the past 30 years.

1.3 million software developers with a median salary of $110,000 is a lot of money just from the software developer worker bees every year (save N% per year of that pile, now it's available for investment in one form or another; and that's ignoring the equity value they're yielding).

The way I see it, using GTK reminds me of "native" Mac apps (like the ones written in Swift), but on Linux. GTK sure looks a hell of a lot better than Qt on a GNOME desktop: more modern, polished, and clean. So that's why I'd imagine some people choose GTK.

If you get $600k in cash, and you immediately exchange that into $600k in company stock (with no restrictions on when you can sell that stock), how could that possibly be a worse deal than getting $600k in company stock with restrictions on when you can sell?
I responded to you because you posted a massive number of comments to this thread, including a bunch of low-quality provocations that kept the flamewar going.

As for the other comments, a bunch of those were correctly flagkilled by users. At least one is by a banned account whose comment was never anything but [dead] in the first place—obviously that doesn't need moderating. Some others you linked to don't particularly stand out to me. But really, this is all a bit of a red herring. Moderation can't be completely consistent in the first place because we can't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here. In a massive flamewar like this, there's no way we're going to see everything. You can always point out to us at hn@ycombinator.com when people are breaking the guidelines. But responding by pointing the finger (or ten fingers) at others when we ask you to stop breaking them, isn't really the best way to communicate about that.

But internet flame wars and real civil wars are not equivalent. Yes, there's always been some level of civil strife in America, just as there has in every country, at every moment in history. People argue, often angrily. But, it's not until there is actual, physical violence that it becomes a civil war. The question is, are we close to an organized faction taking up arms against the state? Anything short of that is interesting in its own way, sociologically and culturally, but it is not a civil war.

It doesn't. The problem is that anything that begins to show promise gets acquired by a US company before long. Europe works fine as an incubator.
Every company I know of with the exception of Stripe and Coinbase have 4 year equity grants. In the real world you'd receive a 400k a grant that vests over 4 years. For most white collar workers who don't need the money to pay bills the 400k grant is worth more than an extra 100k a year in salary.

It's a free call option on the stock. If it goes up you keep vesting at the new stock price which might be way above market rate for you position and if it goes down you get refreshers at the end of the year to bring you back to a market rate salary.

Honestly how decentralized is the Internet? AFAIK there are groups like W3C and ICAAN which basically control domains, and a few IPs which control routing. Most of the internet is also behind Cloudflare, AWS, etc.

The key is that these companies are very conservative when blocking users and giving others special privileges. Your service won't be blocked by Cloudflare and IPs unless it's particularly bad or your government requests it. Whereas e.g. YouTube has very strict rules and often bans people incorrectly or for debatable reasons.

Idk if the issue is actually decentralized vs. centralized. I think it's "do I decide the rules or do I just enforce them?"
Yeah, debugging the written function is not easy, but that could be improved by adding the normal tools for rewrites (sourcemap). Also, you can put print/logging statements inside the function; the rewrite preserves those.

In theory the rewrite shouldn't change behavior, so you could also unittest both the decorated function and the undecorated function.

> possible to do automated rewrites of recursive functions as iterative ones.

This is basically what we're doing, except the stack is inside the trampoline. If you inlined the trampoline into the function itself then that is exactly a recursion -> iteration transform.
No. If they did, that would defeat the purpose. Usually, they have their own setup software or routing software. Something like Blackmagic, for example, is supported directly from certain apps. Others let you route windows to the output. You still need a graphics card for these to work. They only handle the video input and output.

And if you ever complain about the time they often say "other candidates found it fine" (c'mon use some common sense, people lie about how long it takes them)
To me, a big part of my mental shift was just realizing how much code or process I follow doesn't actually deliver customer value. I want to make things that affect people or improve lives and the longer I spend polishing what I'm making, the less I'm getting feedback.

I used to work in a large company on a team that essentially developed frameworks for other teams to use. I would often think through designs from several different angles and try to create an API that could work in any scenario. After shipping our frameworks, I often found that the "customer" (i.e. the other team) would use what I made in a different way from what I had expected. That meant a lot of the thinking I poured into the project was unnecessary. I really just had to look at that one particular use case and design for that.

After a while I started working backwards and went directly in the customer team's codebase to start integrating potential API designs to ensure it would work for their use case. That saved a ton of guesswork and eliminated a lot of code waste.

So I guess my advice is to question everything you work on and ask if there's a simpler/cheaper way to build just what you need. I usually aim for creating a proof of concept now to ensure that I only build what I need. It often means hacking things to make it work, and then afterwards clean up the hacks, but to be honest, a lot of hacks are good enough, if they are isolated. Also, try to develop a mindset of always aiming to deliver an output to ensure you don't get bogged down with analysis paralysis.
I meant that there are only upsides for society and the state. Sure the people and investors who start a business take a risk, but the state does not: If the new business fails the state loses nothing, if the new business succeeds then wealth and taxes are produced. So make it as simple and cheap as possible to incorporate and to run a business and reap the benefits later.

(I have edited my previous comment to clarify)
Yeah quite the opposite. This is easily my favorite plane design ever made.
