Do you have any examples in mind? Even at the times of war the Internet and cellular infrastructure in Ukraine works. At least in the part controlled by Ukraine. I had a first-hand report of russian occuping forces shooting down cell stations using armored vehicle gun at the occupied territories. Ironically that hindered their own secure communication, as their ERA devices use 3G for encrypted communications.
Mail delivery to my home has gotten worse over the past ten to fifteen years. I complained to the local post office about this, and they said part of the reason is that this route no longer has dedicated carrier.
I would guess because you want the company to pay for postage.

IMVHO the ancient Italian proverb "presto & bene, raro avviene" (quick & well done, rarely happen) it's still valid:

- acting quickly, with emergency powers/needs etc is a recipe to a disaster, things MUST be done as much as possible with accurate reasoning, that means more cost at initial phases but far less for the rest of the life;

- when acting quickly is needed, things must be as much pre-digested as possible.

USA and IMVHO the entire western world can't build quickly anymore because it have build too quickly in the past and now we are in a messy state. Quick growth of the recent past have led to too dense cities, to little room to evolve anything and now both available resources, lessons learned and analyze-paralyze make anything complicated. The so called Great Reset is actually needed, while definitively not as neoliberals have drawn it so far.

Unfortunately such "reset", even if well driven at the slowest peace possible, will be (already is) far harmful anyway. IMVHO those who build quickly now because they can and they need (like China) know that well, but are locked-in in a state of things that leave very limited choices. For instance China can't nourish it's Citizens with internal resources, so it need to import many things, starting from food, and that's true for too many countries, and that's not only food. Not only oil. Not only other natural resources (metals, woods etc): people are constantly kept in semi-ignorant states to being able to drive them like a flock, that's true for all dictatorships and for formal (but not substantial) democracies, that's both the neoliberal idea of governing, the Chinese, Russians, Indian, ... idea of governing. Doing so *might* work under certain conditions but when you need to change it's a mess, most do not understand why they need to change. They fear (with good reasons) the change, they do accept being pastured under stable even if bad conditions but they react against any changes. To push a *quick* change the classic way is crisis/wars/disasters and the outcome is generally another big set of issues...

To build quickly AND being able to correct issues that *always* happen we need something able to evolve, for instance we need to abolish cities, they are too dense and complex to evolve. And that's an issue because, yes, with actual tech (transportation, communications etc) we can abandon cities while remaining modern but we are probably too numerous for the usable land we have and for the amount of resources needed for the transaction. Such change it's also not just in housing and transportation means but also in social structures and organization. It can be done in terms of experiments, but on scale... Probably on scale a big war is needed. Unfortunately doing so with today tech and state of things means a big disaster, probably big enough to destroy humanity...

That's is: a big mess.

>I occasionally use it in the command line, by expanding *.

You can use zsh's fzf-tab as a supercharged tab-completion. e.g. you can just do

some-command <TAB>

and it will put a fzf interface where the tab-completions would usually be, and you can pick whatever files you want. And if you instead do

some-command -<TAB>

it will instead show you all the possible flags and their descriptions, which you can also pick from.

I use this all the time on the terminal now. It cuts out so much pointless flow-breaking invocations of ls and man and --help.

I love watchexec! Really fast when doing TDD
Isn’t what you’re describing just the business model of open core companies like Confluent, or MySQL -> MariaDB? The intermediaries tend to grow large for successful open source projects, because there’s a lot of money to be made, but it’s not uncommon in my experience for the core maintainers of a project to go found a company around it. If it’s just an awareness thing, by all means, let’s make sure open source maintainers know this is an option available to them.
I have difficulty following the points the author is trying to make.

- Even with instruction compression the type of code they present will take more space than, say, Aarch64.
- The entire section on conditional execution doesn't make any sense. Conditional execution is bad, we know it, that's why modern ARM does not have conditional execution. Overall, author's insistence to compare RISC-V to practically obsolete ARMv7 when ARMv8 has been available for over a decade is... odd.
- Regarding SIMD... it's a very complex topic, but personally, I don't see any fundamental problem with vector-style ISA. I think it's a great way of allowing scalable software. But vector ISA does not replace basic SIMD as they solve different problems. Vector stuff is great for throughput, SIMD is great for latency. There are many tasks such as geometry processing, modern data structures etc. where fixed-size 128-bit SIMD is an excellent building block. That's why ARM has both NEON and SVE2, the latter does not make obsolete the former. And that bit about GPUs and how they are not good for vector processing... not even sure how to comment on it. Also, at the end of the day, specialised devices will vastly outperform any general-purpose CPU solution. That's why we see, say, Apple M1 matrix accelerators delivering matmul performance on par with workstation CPU solutions, despite using a fraction of power.

Overall, my impression is that the article is grasping at straws, ignores modern technology and ultimately fails to deliver. I aolso remain unconvinced by the initial premise that RISC-V follows the principle "not painting yourself into a corner due to choices which have short term benefit". I do think that choices like keeping instructions as simple as possible (even though it makes expression of common patterns verbose), avoiding flags registers, disregarding SIMD etc. could be characterised as "painting oneself into a corner".

A usual disclaimer: I do think that RISC-V is a great architecture for many domains. Simple low-power/low-cost controllers, specialised hardware, maybe even GPUs (with extensions) — the simplicity and openness of RISC-V makes it a great point of entry for basically anyone and invites experimentation. I just don't see much merit of RISC-V in the general-purpose high-performance consumer computing (laptop/desktop). In this space RISC-V does not have any notable advantages, it does have potential disadvantages (e.g. code density and lack of standard SIMD — yet). Most importantly, the CPU microarchitecture becomes the decisive factor, and designing a fast general-purpose CPU requires a lot of expertise and resources. It's not something that a small group of motivated folk can realistically pull off. So all the great things about RISC-V simply do not apply here.
I'm in a hurry right now, so I cannot do a lot of searching, but these might be pointers:

What I personally noticed is that when I plug/unplug an external monitor, Mint shows the desktop for half a second or so. I was even able to type stuff into an open termial in these moments. So it is clear that with some fiddling, it would be possible to construct a bypass from this.

Doing some Google searches, I found similar (but not quite the same) open issues with Mints screen saver. That is when I decided to not use it anymore.
I think it's certainly true that people are keeping Taiwan in mind with regard to this, but I think you're underestimating the risk of nuclear conflict, and the specter of larger war in Europe. The US certainly has more than Taiwan on their mind here.
There's nothing wrong with a consulting model yet I wouldn't use code under their direct/complete control. Plenty of Apache Projects have members that are in consultant companies, their willingness to make changes for cash is balanced by other orgs that only want to contribute directly, ensure existing functionality, etc.
You can't just spew your opinion all over the place without taking into consideration the context as well.

Ukraine in a normal state: Yes, don't fly anywhere if you have COVID.

Ukraine while being invaded by another country: Yeah, lets get you out of there. If you have COVID we'll work around it somehow, as we want to save lives, which is the whole point behind COVID restrictions in the first place.

Join (from the part of the developer) idealistic goals, rose tinted glasses, naiveté, with (from the part of the users/contributors) lack of respect, lack of project visibility, lack of tact in dealing with OSS maintainers, sometimes lack of technical prowess and too much initiative, and the environment is set for conflict.

No wonder most people give up.

You can get voicemails with the Fi mobile app.

Fi isn’t the best solution for everyone. You can find other services if you need a US phone number that can forward and receive SMS. I used Twilio too.

I needed a US number that my customers could reach me on wherever I was, in case of emergencies, because I do a lot of system admin and infrastructure work. The OP had a different problem: cheap roaming and calling back to the US.
First of all it wasn't necessary. Vertical transmission of HIV can be dealt with in other ways. Why expose these kids to pointless risk? No medical researcher with an ounce of integrity or care would do something like this.

Secondly, it was fraud, the guy falsified documents and misrepresented things.

Thirdly, the whole concept was dumb. It doesn't make any damn sense. He wanted to edit babies for his own reasons (some mix of insanity and ego I presume), so he found a way to do it.

I have never encountered what I would consider to be a "leetcode interview"; that is the essence of my bafflement when people talk as though it is simply The Way Tech Interviews Are Done.

Perhaps I have simply been lucky, but my luck has held for a very long time, and that makes me want a better explanation.

When I hear people describe these "leetcode interviews", they often describe a process which sounds very much like being given a normal interview problem, except they assume, for reasons which have never been clear to me, that they must have a memorized answer at hand in order to succeed.

From my non-college-trained perspective, this seems like the sort of misunderstanding one might easily make if one attempted to apply years of practice with school exams to a new environment. Perhaps I have encountered "leetcode interviews", and simply didn't experience them the same way?

Or perhaps the "leetcode thing" genuinely is a different style of interview, which has grown up in a sector of the industry I don't care for. That might explain why it seems ubiquitous to some and nonexistent to others...

How often do I interview - ? Well, whenever I might want a new job, I suppose. I'm not sure what you mean; you seem to be implying that people interview recreationally? Last time would have been three-odd years ago, and I certainly did not bother to write down the problems which would have been involved.

> corporations do not care about your well-being and will suck all they can out of you, often leading to burnout or outright suicide.

This statement is too over-generalized and hostile to be made in good faith for a meaningful debate.

First, of course corporations do not "care" since they are not sentient. It's probably management of corporations that you mean.

Second, some individuals in some corporations may not care. And different companies may have different fractions of people not caring. In my experience, the long-term successful companies have a high fraction of people actually caring. And if they don't, then switch to a company where they do. I have worked at many places where the leadership team cared deeply, and it radiated into lower management and all employees. Foul apples tended to leave, since their constant ranting and disrespect was not appreciated or reciprocated, so they didn't feel welcome, and rightly so.

The irony is that it tends to be people with condescending and arrogant attitudes who do most of the "not caring". Just like the author of the blog entry we are discussing here.

As a digital nomad the SMS 2FA auth is a constant pain in the butt. I'm not fron the US so Google Fi is a non-starter for my case.

My current setup is to use Airalo for e-sims to get data access and Devyce to get a virtual UK phone number that can receive SMS messages. I do have a Google Fi number, which I can access the SMS messages via the web interface, but I haven't found it to be particularly useful (It predates Devyce).

The Devyce mobile app is a bit clunky, but it's heading in the right direction and it's been capable of both making calls and receiving text messages.

I would pay quite a bit for a service where it just worked globally, even with varying data restrictions and costs per region (within reason). Unfortunately most roaming seems focused on extracting the most amount of money out of the short-term traveller as possible.

I also can't understand why operators like Vodafone don't use their global clout to outperform in this regard.

They're in control of the license from the very start. Anyone who doesn't want that doesn't need to use a license that is so open.

I like most others' careers has been deeply enriched by open source, but I find it hard to have sympathy for anyone releasing under a very open license and then pulling a pikachu face when their project is used within the boundaries of how it is offered.

This same discussion has previously devolved to 'well projects with non-liberal licenses don't tend to get traction', the answer to which is there's a false assumption here that every oss project should trend towards adoption. That should never be the primary goal and is one of the main pillars of why the entire ecosystem is becoming dysfunctional.

You linked to an editorial in the wall street journal in another thread, but it seems like you didn’t actually read the times piece. The times confirmed that some of the emails in the email dump from the alleged laptop are authentic, that’s it. Which IIRC they reported back in 2020.

The times article doesn’t even discuss the video you’re referring to, and it doesn’t confirm that the laptop actually belonged to Biden. Maybe those things are true, maybe not, but as far as I can tell there’s no new information here.

This is what’s linked by the WSJ: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/16/us/politics/hunter-biden-...

Your average citizen probably doesn't know what open source is, let alone could name one project.

So most likely most people would not give anything because they don't know/care, and a few marketable projects (like VLC) would get most of the rest, way more than they need.
In this bridge example, not only did it cost $19 billion to build, but the tolls collected actually do not cover operating costs.

It’s a waste of air (or electrons) to state the pathetically obvious (at best) or hostile to state it with a Nyah-Nyah overtone merely to offend people. Almost all women are more empathetic than almost all men, which means almost all men are assholes more than almost all women. No need to keep proving it.
The fact client data is being sent is enough reason to believe they are using it, regardless of unknown internal workings of the business. I don't think benefit of the doubt should apply to privacy or security with companies operating on the net. We know how they make their money and offer 'free services'.
Fascism isn't the correct word, totalitarianism is a lot more appropriate, in the Arendt sense of the word.

The hallmarks of such totalitarianism is an aggressive internal witch hunt enforcing acceptable thoughts, ideas, behaviors. There is only one correct ideology, and while nobody is quite sure what that is today, the only thing you do know is that you really do not want to be out in the cold, so you better show you are on the right side by gathering a mob of other likewise scared people and lynching someone accused of disloyalty to the cause.

It's important to realize that this isn't some power trip, everyone involved in this sort of dynamic is steeped in profound isolation and terror. They know they may be next.

The dynamics are fairly similar that of religious a cult only at a much larger scale.
Y, but open source contribution IS a decent addition to one's resume.
What do you mean "no"? My comment was entirely factual.

> Firstly -march (or similar, e.g. -mcpu in LLVM land) should target a chip not individual instruction sets.

LLVM still uses -march. And no you shouldn't target a specific chip unless you know your code will only run on that chip. That's the whole point I'm making. Sometimes you do know that (in embedded situations) but often you don't. Desktop apps aren't compiled for specific chips.

> Secondly, AVX-512 alone has a handful of different extensions.

Yes but these are generally linear - if an x86 chip supports extension N it will support extension N-1 too. Not true for RISC-V.
I think the biggest issue is the lack of arithmetic with overflow checking, especially with a variant that calls a location in a control register on overflow.

This makes it very inefficient to compile languages that would like overflow checks on all arithmetic.

That's a good question, and I'd further like to know what the consequences would be of a battlefield where tanks aren't viable. Is it possible for an invader to hold territory any more? They might be able to destroy the defender's tanks and other military hardware, but it seems like both sides would end up hiding in civilian buildings, since those are cheaper and more plentiful than tanks.
