One of the biggest problems with surveillance capitalism is how it subtly guides you to the thing the corporation wants by manipulating search ranking or using ML to influence human behavior.

With Apple there is no subtlety because you just can't have what they don't want you to. Apple wants to have a deal with Hollywood so no iOS BitTorrent clients for you. You don't even know that the things you're being deprived of would have been available -- it's the same problem. It's worse. At least with Google if you notice they're removing things you want to see from search results you can switch to another search engine and still use Android. If you want video game ROMs on your iOS device you have to throw it away and buy something else.

And the privacy thing feels like a Trojan horse when they still have all your data on iCloud and have root on your device. Supposedly they don't do anything with it now (except allow iCloud to be subpoenaed by law enforcement without a warrant), and I tend to believe them.

Now suppose we finally get a free hardware phone that isn't a dog. It runs an Android fork with all the privacy invasive stuff stripped out but can still run Android apps and gets OS updates for 10+ years (i.e. indefinitely) because the drivers are in the kernel tree. That would eat a big chunk of Apple's market -- the people who don't want the central control but do want the privacy are going over there. Or just pick whatever scenario you like where Apple's business starts shrinking rather than growing. Nothing lasts forever.

Their executives are under pressure to keep profits up and they have an enormous trove of everyone's data they weren't previously monetizing. Desperate companies do desperate things. Or get acquired by Oracle or AT&T or Huawei.

Since that can happen with non-trivial probability at some future date, you can't put anything on your iPhone you're not willing to have that happen to. And then how is that any better than the alternative? It's even worse if you don't expect it to happen and then it does.
This article is not really worth reading if you've read any criticism of object-oriented programming from the last 3 decades. Except maybe the reference problem related to encapsulation -- that's just wrong.

I really don't have these kinds of problems; it's likely due to experience. It's not that I don't use inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, etc. I do. And when I do, it works exactly as it's supposed to. I don't over-use it, I don't use it when it's not appropriate. This is the same with functional concepts as well.

Object-oriented programming is the most successful programming paradigm in history. But you don't get to the front page of hacker news with that information.

Personally a hard blocker for me is the charging networks -- I really, really, really do not want to invest in a car whose charging network languishes while I'm still relying on that car day-to-day. Tesla's network should be forced open to all EVs and a common charger standard should be mandated going forward. Until that happens I'm not touching EVs with a ten foot pole.

I don't know about UNIX per se, but consider Linux and MacOS progress in the last two decades. MacOS showed that it is possible for UNIX to be successful on the desktop. During the same period, Linux scaled from embedded computers and smartphones to supercomputers and servers.

In terms of innovations, I'd bet MacOS has evolved too. Although "logical partitions"-like solutions were already known for some time, Linux made it widespread through containers; io_uring allows high throughput syscall-less zero-copy data transfer and futex2 allows to implement NT synchronization semantics that are very common in game development. All that ignoring just how much the desktop changed!

The UNIX children are definitely not sitting still.

I don't want to defend this company, but my company (a dev tool used by many other companies) receives a handful of these a day. It's almost the exact same email, and they're just mass-sending them. It's not personal, and it's pretty standard.

The tone feels off if you assume a human wrote it. But that's only because it's a form letter their legal department wrote for them to send off. They probably collected "dependencies" from the entire company (and someone wrote "curl"), and sent a mass email.

If you just reply with a simple "We're unaffected!" (or ignore them), you'll never hear from them again.
I remember doing side by side plots of conservative Hamiltonian trajectories doing a standard Euler method (maybe even RK45), vs a symplectic method (which will maintains energy conservation). The RK45 implementation had a very nice symmetric pattern, but which was completely different from the one in the (correct) symplectic implementation. This was a useful eye opener for me to not just blindly rely on Matlab's ODE45 or other default solvers...

Real conversation about crypto - with my hairdresser.

Him : "NFT's are going to revolutionize the art market"

Me : "I don't know much about that, I just laugh whenever one of those bored monkeys gets right clicked and they all go mad about it".

Him : "What do you mean"

Me : "Someone copies the jpeg and uses it and they can't stop them"

Him : "nahhh you can't steal them"

Me : "It's only the meta data that's on a blockchain"

Him : "I have a question, right"

Me : "I dunno"

Him : "But do you know what a blockchain really is?"

Me : "Ahh, well, ahh... yes, I think I do, I'm a bit hazy on some of the maths, but errrm yeah"

Him : "I don't, noone can ever explain it, but everyone seems to want to buy into it so ...."

So - it's not evidence but still I think that almost all investors in crypto have little to no idea of what they are investing in. This is not good.

That's right, auto-scaling comes with this problem, but at least you removed one extra service/point of failure.

Theoretically you could make a PNP transistor by reversing the doping of an NPN transistor. The main problem is that boron diffuses rapidly, making it hard to fabricate a buried P-layer. Boron also has less solubility than phosphorus, making it hard to dope the emitter. Also, holes have only 1/3 the mobility of electrons, so PNP and NPN aren't symmetrical. To deal with these issues, PNP transistors are usually built with lateral construction (i.e. horizontally). The ring structure ensures that almost all of the carriers injected by the emitter are intercepted by the collector.

(This is based on The Art of Analog Layout, p280. I don't know all this doping stuff myself.)
> > £1 million per year

I'm curious about your workload. I tend to only use cloud for workloads where it's either (1) by far the only feasible option (e.g. need GPUs for short periods of time), or else (2) basically free.

> I mean I'm not against cloud it's just not the cheapest option

This is certainly true for most workloads. It's also true that buying is better than renting, but here I am living in a rented apartment.

The logic from on high might be something like "if demand is uncertain and capex is risky, why buy when you can rent?"
There's that lack of ambition. Instead of making excuses for cars with compromises, you want better batteries: cheaper, safer, more energy dense, more power dense, faster charging, more recyclable, longer duty cycle.

Batteries need improvement in all metrics.

Maybe you'd like to check FunSQL.jl, my library for compositional construction of SQL queries. It also follows algebraic approach and covers many analytical features of SQL including aggregates/window functions, recursive queries and correlated subqueries/lateral joins. One thing where it differs from dlpyr and similar packages is how it separates aggregation from grouping (by modeling GROUP BY with a universal aggregate function).
No problem! I should have quoted that bit at the top of my original comment, as you aren’t the only one who read it that way.

Even though I severely dislike systemd, and am a fan of FreeBSD's stability and simplicity, I also have found this attitude to be an annoyance. For example, if I want to upgrade a fleet of a hundred or so FreeBSD boxes remotely, the answer seems to be, "Don't do that. You must upgrade each one by hand."

This is the principal reason why I've leaned toward Debian stable (which also aims at being a stable UNIX like FreeBSD) for decades, even though Debian has also been infected with systemd and has made other questionable decisions. Alternatively, I've also had good luck with Void, Alpine, and Artix. (I've had difficulties with electron apps on Void desktop, but it runs flawlessly on servers.)
It’s obviously anecdotal but I’ve found the Nix community extremely supportive and haven’t really had that experience when asking questions. I typically stick to IRC but I have asked my fair share of dumb questions without any replies I’d call snarky…

This looks like a tedious process that I would have totally done on my own had I thought of it.

Grafts in Guix support this use case: you know you're providing an ABI-compatible package replacement and don't want to rebuild everything that depends on it:

https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/grafts-continued/

We use that for security updates, but also in other situations where we know we can take advantage of it such as the new `--tune` package transformation option, which tunes a package for a specific CPU:

Just the other day I was thinking about experimenting with some hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders, and I saw photo of a dual input cylinder with couples of pipes going in and out interconnected with a power source and a three position valve to hold or release pressure coming from either of two ports.

I looked at the photo and the description and suddenly realized I was looking at a XOR’d MOSFET low side switch circuit made of pipes and valves.

I think we all agree though. OOP is, in practice used as a hammer for EVERY job when it is actually a tool best used for something extremely narrow.

Two of the most popular modern programming languages that just came out within the last decade eschew OOP all together: Golang and Rust.

A lot of people will argue about the semantics of OOP and whether golang or rust fits the paradigm in terms of the definition. Let's just make it simple. Whatever OOP methodology python, java or C++ is doing... golang and rust are not doing it.

Personally, I prefer not to get surprise PDFs; but that's just personal.

A better reason is that linking to the abstract page lets you navigate easily around the arXiv from there, including to the PDF if you desire; but there is no 1-click way to get from the PDF back to the abstract. (Of course, it's an easy matter of address munging, but even easier is not to have to do the munging.)

We used to joke about doing this at my last company. We knew for a fact that our accounts payable folks frequently paid invoices without doing any verification that they were valid.

Something that perhaps detracts from the positives of NixOS is that a lot of the tools that have the biggest issues with the need/difficulty of dealing with multiple versions and environments have long ago come up with their own solutions to the problem.

Python has pyenv, NodeJS has nvm, Terraform has tfenv, and the list goes on.

Then if you're running on a server/VM/cloud, it seems to me that you should be treating your systems as cattle instead of pets. I never update packages on servers, I build a new image/instance, test it, and replace the server.

I wonder if some of the benefits of NixOS were either solutions looking for problems or solutions where better solutions rose to prominence.
