My favorite part of a micro service is when I walk into a project I'm unfamiliar with I can just dig into it. I've worked with a few monolithic applications for years without truly understanding half of what they do altogether. A micro service I can wrap my head around in a day or two.
Apart from the fact that it's custom hardware designed to run Linux, (you buy this for the same reason you buy System76 or Purism's other hardware, even though you could build your own machine or install Linux on hardware built for Windows) I would much rather have a phone built on Linux than a phone built on Android. Android really doesn't offer anything more on a fundamental level than Google-made ease-of-use layers and a development platform that I can really take or leave.

I run Arch Linux on all my devices with no Desktop Environment. The simpler the system the better. Running Android Framework along with a runtime, even though it's all open source, I'd rather as much of it be free software as possible. If I could run my phone like this I absolutely would but the Librem 5 is as good as it gets while still having a device that fits in my pocket that can make calls and text.

R-studio supports this for R although you can sprinkle in other languages although they are 2nd class citizens unsurprisingly. Emacs has org-mode with babel that combined with poly-mode gets you every feature you'd expect in the major mode of the language you're writing in. Emacs also supports R-markdown/Sweave quite well.

I’m starting to look into this. We have a single uncommon mutation to deal with, that’s just a fairly large cancer risk. Early advice has been that it’s still pretty hard to do single gene mutation screens. Needing samples from multiple relatives with the mutation to build a reliable screen.
Answering personally, I seem to be 'the swing voter' demographic for this phone - I have gone to their site many times, but have never paid them a dollar. I'm interested less because of what I could do with this phone - apple works great for me - but because I'm interested in how much the hardware can be open sourced, can a phone or laptop be built where only the low level components are sourced from existing manufacturers, without needing google or apple etc to curate the assembly. I like the idea of having what I have with apple, but not having apple or google or anyone own the ecosystem.
Oddly enough since I'm both a programmer and a jazz musician, I've noticed some interesting parallels. In both cases the practitioners come from all walks of life, and many of them either bailed out of the mainstream education system, or had a negative experience with it. For this reason you have people with music degrees sharing the bandstand with those who learned by doing. I'm halfway between those camps, having taken classical music lessons through high school but learning jazz on my own.

You might still want multiple tangled files to follow a familiar app structure, or for languages that need to be compiled or if you don't want users to have to add the extra step of tangling the source before they build your program.
The 'why' in the question implies that one knew X was a possible solution, or that you should know that X is a possible solution. An alternate to the question might be 'have you tried to do X?'.

Also, if you want to understand why someone did Y, ask deeper questions around why they did Y, don't ask why they didn't pick the other 500,000 possible solutions.

I guess the question is what happens if Russia wins in the south and can retask those resources to help near Kyiv or other hold outs. Especially if/when rumored groups of soldiers from Syria & Belarus enter the conflict.

I also don't see Russia backing down without some type of agreement that cedes territory or other significant concessions to them, which sets up a sort of moral hazzard. Then, a few years from now Russia does this sort of thing again. It would feel like the sort of appeasement policy used with Germany leading up to WWII.

I don't see a good way around that possibility that doesn't risk a huge escalation. Actually I may see one very imperfect option: Cede Crimea and maybe other concessions to Russia in exchange for and agreement of neutrality backed by allowing a very large build up if Ukrainian military power, and a guarantee of support from the West, to significantly deter Russia from doing this again. At the same time that specific and severe sanctions beyond what we've seen already will be rapidly implemented if Russia tries this with any other country.

Even this is problematic, and probably unrealistic that Russia would agree to it. And so it just comes down to how long Ukraine can hold out, or how strong of an insurgency they can mount for the long term & what price Russia is willing to pay (eventually they cut their losses in Afghanistan). But Russia probably decides that if they can't have Ukraine then then they'll destroy every city and as much infrastructure as possible on their way out (hints of that already)

It is truly hard for me to see any positive outcome here that is as likely as any of the many bad possible outcomes. Maybe if Putin's purges of political leadership cause then to launch a coup in self defense? Waging war among that chaos would be hard, and the West could negotiate with new leadership about getting out of Ukraine in exchange for lifting some of the sanctions.

I'd be very surprised if it every gets to a stage where you literally can't break out from Russia into TOR or VPN or whatever.

Sure China has done it, but that seems non trivial and looking at the current state of their offensive and well army I'd say Russia probably have more urgent priorities right now

Considering all hard drives eventually break down, even SSDs, this makes Macs disposable products.

Eventually that SSD is going to fail, but by then five or six years have passed and they'll just tell you to buy a new Mac. I'm very happy with my Mac Mini m1, and I'll probably buy a MacBook Air when the next one comes out, but I'm doing this with the understanding this is not going to last forever.
> we have to save the underdog european country of Serbia/Ukraine or else the Austrians/Russians will gain a hegemony over the rest of the Balkans/Eastern europe

The West isn't actually scared of the threat of Russian hegemony over Ukraine. It's more just that it would be a tragedy for Ukrainians who have been trying since the early 2000's to shake free of them. It's also about solidifying the idea that you don't take over neighbors for imperial reasons. The appeals to "you could be next" aren't really a motivator in all this for any NATO country, but there is a lot of sympathy from liberal democracies for a country trying to become one being invaded by a relic from the past.
I’m disappointed that I did not source an older bed and chests of drawers, refinish them, and plan to keep them for decades.

Not sure what you mean by "appeals to authority".

Fairly sure you don't know what that phrase means. Whose authority, exactly? I'll appeal to my own, I suppose, but that is because I actually know what I'm talking about.

Definitely sure you don't have anything to say, but are committed to telling people they're stupid because ... you have little else to contribute, and are stuck in a muddy trench of incoherent rage you dug for yourself. Again.
The first phone from 2018 in that table was shipped 1 week ago. As another commenter pointed out the last post in the thread is by someone who ordered in 2017 whose phone still has not shipped yet.

Best retention policy in your company?
Hi,

I am the CTO of a small Canadian company (20 employees) that develop data platforms for industrial energy management and lean manufacturing. I am confident we offer meaningful and interesting problems to work on and we don't have a problem finding candidates to recruit. However, we don't really any policy in place to reward people that stay at the company on the long run, beyond money, and we are looking at changing this. As a result, I am curious to know what retention policies are in place in your workplace, especially for companies of similar size ?

Some examples:
- gain x days of vacations after y years
- working from abroad up to x days per years (we have a lot of foreigners in the team)
- ...

What are the things, beyond job satisfaction and salary, that can make it harder to leave your company?
All of those putin stories are coming from either shady tweets or outright ukrainian propaganda. And I doubt ukrainian state media has access to putin's personal feelings.

Now don't get me wrong, it's necessary propaganda and it's war. But it's incredible to me that people actually what amount to fan fiction. Like seriously, no ukrainian I've talked with believes those far fetched but very convenient story. They know it's a war and propaganda is part of the war effort but they don't actually believe it themselves. I've only seen westerners eat those stories and craft their own lore around it. I guess we forgot about the supposed military coup to overthrow putin, him hiding in the Ural in fear of his life, the military units that were about to defect... 2 weeks ago.

At the end of the day, it does not matter even if it was true. We need to focus on helping ukraine and actually stay tethered to the reality on the ground and concrete actions we can do. There is a war on the ground, and for all intents and purposes there is absolutely 0 way for us to know about the inner dynamics of the Kremlin that wouldn't be completely tainted by propaganda.
You don't need to explain to "internet randos", and nobody expects you to. Public posts though will obviously get public commentary.

However it's a great question to understand why certain decisions were made. The best engineers know that most of the work gets done in the planning and decision-making, not by stubbornly diving into something. If it was really the best decision at the time then the merits should stand the test, otherwise the defensiveness to answer is far more suspect than an innocent question.

Well thats a given. This program took place during segregation when people had messed up ideas in to how the color of one's skin determines the character of that person. But we can still highlight the merits of the program and bring something similar into the modern age where people are not rejected based on skin color.

Even worst than than that. Ford was a huge anti-Semite and one of his papers had major influence over Hitler who then went on to genocide millions of Jews. Dude was for sure an asshole. He also fired workers who drank or gambled during their off time and had company men who raided homes of his workers.

You've got valid points regarding the Linux usability aspect and kernel updates (I'm not exactly sure what Graphene does regarding kernels). But in such a context wouldn't it be more useful to say have a dumb phone and a separate laptop/tablet running Linux?

Not everyone can be saved, and at this point I fear that it is a majority.

IANAL, but the trainings I took emphasized that regardless of the P&C label, it was NOT P&C if you weren't asking the lawyer a question, and any part of the discussion that happened before someone engaged counsel was not P&C.

> Maybe the "rights holders" should invent the technology and let streaming services use it.

That's exactly what they have done before (eg. region-locked DVD players, Selectable Output Control[0], Macrovision, HDCP, etc.[1]), and all it has ever done is cause pain and confusion to consumers ("Why does my DVD player not work when I hook it to the TV through the VCR, or vice versa?"), with nary a blip in piracy rates.

> That way the "rights holders" are on the hook for piracy.

That's wishful thinking. The rights-holding media companies are never responsible[2], that burden falls solely on "implementors".

Is this supposed to be surprising? Try streaming video transcoding or 3D rendering and I'm pretty sure you get the opposite result. Some workloads perform better in one than the other. My guess would be that filesystem and IO latency is a major factor in these results.

Monopolies are the opposite of a free market. I'm not sure how a critique of using supply and demand to explain how free markets work will apply if you choose a monopolised market as your rebuttal. You may as well say that supply and demand doesn't hold under communist conditions.

What I would counter is that it that we can see that free markets work preferably to monopolised ones, or any of the other ones you've provided where selfish intervention of one kind or another has interfered with supply or demand.

When it's a battery swap situation, you don't own the thing, and you bet your ass they're going to have anti-tampering measures for obvious good reasons.

If it's not something we can defend against it's a significant downside to the battery swapping arrangement IMNSHO.

It doesn't apply. It's not even a clever workaround. It has to be a communication that requests or involves legal advice. If you just forward a public email to your lawyer or CC the attorney on normal business communication it is not privileged.

If you forward such an email to the attorney and ask something like "thoughts? what are the risks here?" that ensuing email chain is privileged. If emails are CC'd to a lawyer to evade discovery and the other side finds out, that's a big problem, even bigger problem if the other side is the feds.
I think you'll find that many do, and I also don't know why anyone persists with making absolutists statements that are clearly wrong or can be shown to be so with barely any effort.
