I think the insanity must end, soon enough. It feels like we're moving into a world where insanity and waste is exposed for what it is. Aspirational? Certainly. And I'm sure the pendulum will swing back and forth.
In another comment you've admitted to spending $10k on some games, so clearly the patterns are doing their job.

These things are specifically made to create a strong addiction and wring the max possible amount of money out of people whether they can afford it or not. If you are in the former camp then you do you, but it doesn't make them not dark.
> you just have to put them on separate interfaces

I don’t have to do this with normal data link layers. That’s the point of the complaint. Wireguard is not a true data link layer. Manually configuring multiple interfaces for something I can do with just one interface with a normal data link layer at runtime is an extra inconvenience.

> This is for exactly the same reason that a routing table can only have one default entry. If you want two default entries, make two routing tables.

Using nftables I can specify different routers to use based on arbitrarily complex packet rules. Using just one interface. I can’t do this with wireguard, it will only allow me to to route arbitrary packets to a single peer on an interface. This is an inconvenience.
"Casual" is relative: digiKam choked on my 55K photo library where Lightroom Classic works fine. Adobe XD's only libre competitor that I knew of was Pencil, which died three years ago after Mozilla killed off XUL and they tried to convert to Node/Electron. And don't even get me started on the libre alternatives to InDesign. (Three years and counting since the last stable Scribus, despite nine beta releases.) I wanted so badly to do production work on Linux. I really, really did.

Engineering… depends on your definition. My preferred dev environments, CLion and Qt Creator, work fine on Mac as well. I'll agree that CAD has suffered since Autodesk went insane and FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, and the like work much better on Linux. On the science end, I find OsiriX Lite to be a much better experience than Kradview, and that's assuming you build all the KDE 4 libraries to even make Kradview work at all.
I get anxious as well, not to the degree you do but I often need to take the rest of the day off after 1-2 interviews and have to prep the morning to help calm myself down. I usually run in the morning and eat a banana an hour before. The way I was able to get offers was practicing a lot. I did leetcode, mock interviews, and then real interviews to make them feel like just another meeting. Take interviews when recruiters offer them, convince yourself you don’t care, then do enough that you actually don’t care anymore. I did this last month and only interviewed with three companies. Another hint is interview with a different team at the same company even if you’re not completely sold on that team, getting the hang of a company’s interview culture is a superpower. Hope that helps.
I am a little torn on The Phoenix Project. My first (and later) impression was that it was in some way really cheesy and 'show by example', but in the end it's a quick read and I actually liked it.

I think I wouldn't unequivocally recommend it because it could be hit or miss, so a bad choice for "one book only", but overall: yes, worth reading.
Reading 35mm film isn't high tech. In fact, you only need a light source and a lens. You can perfectly scan 35mm film with a basic flatbed scanner, or a phone camera.

If you're using only text and image paper wins. But as soon as you plan to encode data digitally, you'll need something like a scanner and a computer (not necessarily complex ones). In that case, film is better (denser, less fragile).
Time to buy a PinePhone then.
I bought two Android One devices... I'm afraid that the program is now dead:

https://www.android.com/one/

Their "Explore our latest phones" section shows 2 years old devices :/
Before they were bought-out, Psyonix (Rocket League Studio) was a real independent, self-publishing studio. They created something unique that still has no equivalent.
I hardly ever wear long-sleeved shirts and even if I do I roll up my sleeves - if I don't they either get dirty, get caught in some machinery or just are in the way. When it is too cold for short sleeves I put on something long-sleeved over those short sleeves.

I live on a 17th century farm which is heated by a wood-burning stove and a wood-burning kitchen stove. While it is quite possible to make it too hot for comfort inside (record is 27°C inside with -20°C outside, the result of adding a bit too much wood to the fire while leaving the ash door open) the inside temperature usually lies somewhere between 16°C and 18°C, in the morning often around 12°C. Having a lower inside temperature makes for a smaller temperature difference between inside and outside. This in turn makes for less of a cold shock when going out.

Humans are, to a certain degree, more sensitive to temperature differences than to absolute temperature. If it is 17°C inside that 15°C outside can feel quite balmy. If it is 23°C inside those same 15°C feel quite chilly.
In practise, both are probably true.

I fundamentally dislike religion and the tribal, irrational cult like mind control they seem to all exhibit. But I have seen it in a different light after reading "Sapiens" by Yuval Harari. So I now acknowledge that it has probably played a useful role in human society, despite its large negative traits.
> few terabytes of data in DynamoDB costs thousands a month

yeah we found out this the hard way. have you found an alterative to this? seems for us the biggest uncertainty is storage space since it is user generated and we have "unlimited" guarantee that we unfortunately need to grandfather.

also curious nobody is talking about this for many small bootstrapped developers, this would be a no go.

the only alternative I can think of is a hetzner dedicated box or a fleet of vps from DO or Vultr with S3 compatible API (not sure if such solution exists ).
I just wish someone would make the mobile game shown in the ads

Unlike in the days of olde where ads had to look better than the game, the games in the mobile ads look like real games that would be fun to play
Did they buy them at par or at market rates? Either way, I assume they value them on their books at market rates, so it's still true that their assets are sufficient to 'back' the Euro.
Where did they say their production storage costs $21? The $150 bill is for their developer accounts.
Regarding slight hinting... currently GTK4 hints glyphs (distorting glyphs by quantizing vertical positioning) then renders them at fractional vertical positions (resulting in blurry horizontal lines). This is the worst of both worlds, achieving neither the scale-independent rendering of unhinted glyphs with fractional positioning, nor the sharpness of hinted glyphs with integer vertical positions. What is your plan for hinting and positioning?
Yep, I almost added "not Shopify" when asking for alternative woocommerce suggestions, but thought that was a given! I did indeed mean alternatives where deployment is controlled. Wordpress+Woocommerce does actually tick along okay, like an old bus it blows a bit of smoke and eventually gets the user to the checkout.
How Many Manager Levels?
I think your criticism of Graeber is somewhat fair. And it's a fair point that incorrect popular/lay theories don't mean experts don't know how things actually work.

That said, I do think Graeber is right to emphasize the role of culture and belief--anthropological ideas--as an antidote to overly quantitative/mechanistic models. I'm not an economist, but it does seem like behavioral economics was pretty revolutionary in advancing the idea that humans are not just rational utility maximizers, despite Keynes using the term "animal spirits" nearly 100 years ago.

Again, speaking as a layperson, it's frankly a bit weird to me how distant economics, anthropology, and psychology seem to be from each other.
I'm not so sure about that; like you said in your previous comment: the scale of all of this is huge, and the amount of money these companies are making is similarly huge. It's genuinely a hard problem, and they can afford to lose this business.
AFAIK Patrick didn't even get compliance at all, just shady tactics to shakedown companies for money. The only way his actions resulted in compliance is if companies were scared after hearing about them and did their own compliance work, but that seems unlikely.

Conservancy are doing the Vizio lawsuit, do a lot of behind-the-scenes work, supported the VMware lawsuit, did a lawsuit against Best Buy/Samsung/Westinghouse/JVC and did one of the earliest compliance actions against Linksys resulting in the OpenWRT project:

https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/past-lawsuits....
https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/enforcement-st...

Harald Welte of gpl-violations.org did a lot of GPL compliance actions in Germany, admittedly none recently.

It would be great if Google could do GPL compliance actions against Android vendors, but they seem to be moving away from GPL projects instead of embracing them, so that seems very unlikely.

There was already a case where a Linux copyright holder got the USA customs department to withhold import of some GPL violating tablets. I think that eventually resulted in compliance, the details are somewhere on LWN, I forget the URL though.

I think if the Vizio lawsuit is concluded in favor of Conservancy, that is probably the best chance for widespread GPL compliance.
You can't really "void the warranty" poking at Mac OS internals, and the built-in recovery partition makes it pretty easy to fix anything you break. Same as booting a BusyBox shell when you break something in Linux.

… though turning a car into a rocket-powered go kart seems like exactly the right analogy for running Linux as a desktop in my mind. Supercharged and able to fly, but not street legal or practical in any way.
My criticism, over a decade ago, was that Fossil had too many features that were tangential to version control. Since then, they have added more of those tangential features. So please explain to me how my complaints in 2011 are in any way inconsistent with the state of the project today. If anything, my complaints about feature creep have been vindicated by over a decade of continued feature creep.

In 2011, I wanted the flexibility to use other wiki, ticketing, documentation, and blogging systems. In 2022, I also want the ability to use other forum and chat systems. In 2033, I will probably want the ability to choose my own text editor. I have never complained that Fossil is lacking in features, especially features that are not directly part of version control.
This might warrant a "(1974)" in the title. It's about the processor for the legendary LISP machine from the MIT's AI Lab. The overview:

The CONS microprocessor is a general purpose processor designed for easy programming of list manipulation and emulation of complex order codes. It is the central processor in the lisp machine project, where it emulates the 16 bit order code produced by the lisp compiler. It is organized around three 32 bit data paths: an A source, an M source, and an output bus. Source specifications and functions applied to the data are entirely under control of a 42 bit microcode word.

It's cool that a new CPU can be presented in a 23-page document, but I did not read it all to see how detailed it really gets.
You can melt stuff with 27W. Doesn't pass the smell test.
but available in “select stores only”.

Only for the initial release. Swatch has said that they'll be available from the online store at some unspecified point in the future.

edit: although I can't find that statement on their homepage any more.
Well, your argument is based on an assumption that chasing latest trends of micro web apps is somehow inherently THE path to strive for. Redesigning around latest trends with web frameworks getting obsolete quicker than you can realistically complete a large project is really inefficient in itself.

Is it really more efficient to maintain a design framework chasing latest web trends instead of having separate native interfaces?
Read at least Algorithms to Live By and think again.

> I’d say there’s simply ZERO such books

Sorry but that's plainly illogical. "Read them, come back and report." (Can you notice that the form of that very sentence shows a clash against the mentality that could align with a passion for CS? A CS specialist that formed such expressions would signal to be forcing against inclination.)
It's certainly possible, I honestly wouldn't know. Anedoctaly, I find it worse on my mental health to just sit around waiting for things to finish.
Not a doctor either, just going on articles I've read on this. The sort of multitasking that causes those problems is when both tasks need frequent attention. If you can essentially leave a task alone for several hours, with some sort of notification if there's a problem, that's fine. Even things that don't take much attention but are ongoing tasks, like doing the ironing, are fine depending what else you're combining it with.
The argument on boringtechnology.club could not be more true. Simple tech stacks are always best
A "community kitchen" model should be vastly more efficient.
You're welcome :) We're also hosting it on anonymousleaks.xyz as well as our future dumps
The games I like grinding in (Factorio/Satisfactory, survival games) and with guilds (World of Warcraft) are not the same I spend money in. I feel it's unfair to use another unrelated comment of mine and make assumptions on that.

The rest of the mechanics (especially the ones making me spend money) I have no problem calling dark patterns.
People use dozens of applications but only two or three devices, often from the same OS family. Just by the numbers, consistency across applications will better suit that pattern than consistency across platforms.
I dunno.

First, there's more non free-to-play games out there than ever before, and some are truly amazing and innovative, so I'm not sure about what "games have become". In the last couple of years my top games by hours spent have probably been...

1) Valheim, a truly lovely indie game with a traditional "buy it upfront" model. Don't regret that purchase at all, great game.

2) Final Fantasy XIV, a traditional MMO model with a mind blowing storyline, often considered to be the best story of all the FF games. Don't regret the monthly fee at all; also a great game.

3) Apex Legends, a F2P game that I've spent uh...exactly $0 dollars on in the last year. (Sometimes the F in F2P really does mean "free"!) It's worth significantly more than I've paid for it. (And the only reason I play Apex is to play with a couple of friends, one of whom is a struggling student who couldn't easily afford to buy the latest COD or whatever. The low barriers to entry to F2P games can have real benefits.)

4) Europa Universalis IV, which has a fairly traditional "buy it upfront" model along with various expansions and DLC, except like most Paradox games, it has a simply absurd number, and they're pretty pricy, which means I've spent a uh.....let's just say a lot money on EUIV. Significantly more than the other three games combined. And I have spent a somewhat ridiculous number of hours on it, and I did enjoy them, but was it worth it? Hard question.

So while it's a great rant about how video games have become nothing but loot boxes, but my personal experience is that the overwhelming majority of games I play are not F2P, the only F2P game I play I've spent $0 on in the last year (and lifetime something like $20?), and the only game I feel a little exploited by has a traditional "pay upfront" business model.

OP asks how you'd feel if you were asked for extra money while watching a movie, but actually, if you go to a movie theatre and the popcorn and sodas are stupidly expensive. But...you don't have to buy them?
I actually thought of GEB and did a search over all comments because I thought it might be mentioned.

I'd love to hear a non-programmer/non-mathematician's take on it because I kinda didn't like it at all. I found it very elaborate and slow-developing with no real insight (maybe because the concepts weren't new or maybe because I'm more someone who prefers reading an encyclopaedia over watching a historically correct movie about something).
I believe wasm can be that. A static file distributed to the edge with near-native computing capabilities. A lot less infrastructure to manage.
> Likely always will be in greater demand than supply (at least on a macro basis).

If demand is always greater than supply it means that the market isn't working as it should. In a well-functioning market price will adjust so that the supply is equal to the quantity demanded.
I didn't know about "toolbox": it seems close to what I want.
About 3D, does calling a program through `bwrap` disable opengl or something?
Very little vodka sold in the US is actually from Russia. Svedka is Swedish, Smirnoff is a British brand produced in the US and Tito’s is from Texas, to name a few.
In interest of putting things in perspective I've found couple of sources comparing USPS and other national post carriers. Report by Universal Postal Union from 2020 [0] and an old (1996) report from GAO about post system reforms undertaken world wide.[1]

Especially the UPU report is ... surprising. I never would have guessed about some of the rankings. But it appears to be well researched, and methodology section seems sound.

Google has been investing in Fuschia for years now. What's their end goal with it?
"Debt" isn't about monetary policy, though. It's about the anthropology of money, trade, and debt. It seems to me that those aren't subjects exclusively, or even necessarily optimally, addressed by economists, who, as a different commenter (correctly) wrote* above, aren't actually interested in the history of those ideas.

* Interestingly, I think that was meant as exculpatory for economists, which is itself a bit revealing.
Right, so the question becomes, how do you break that cycle? These kids may grow up planning to be different from their parents. But when you become a parent, "muscle memory" can kick in. You end up parenting as yours did because that's what you know.
Wait wat?

With a purchase mortgage the bank is involved in the transaction in multiple ways, for the bank's protection. Appraisal, inspection, etc. You're saying there is some magic wand to be waved that makes the bank not care about its exposure anymore?
I believe there is a true self in all of us. Whatever that is, and it might change. We have no way to tell what that is, so. Discovering this is what personal development is about. This development should be as unhindered as possible. One, rather obvious, example is trans-gender people. That's the "who / what you are" part.

The become what you want part is ranging from career choices to the kind of person, besides identity, you want to become. This should be as unhindered as possible as well.

Personally, whenever someone, something or a society tries to hinder any of this, I have adverse reactions. Of course there are limits to this, personal freedom ends at other peoples noses. It's hard to tell the good solutions, it's easy to tell the bad ones. And tough love camps are definitely bad ones.
> joule / sec ~ value

That makes no sense. Value and money should have the same unit. Let's say it's "$". There is already a term for what you are describing in $/second: "income" (if you include all assets of a company) or "cash flow" (if you only include cash).
i would perfer ms to fix well known bugs(aks, terraform, az resources, windows) and make agones well integrated (and windows well integrated) than producing their own. why ms could not patch agones?
I come from a regular middle class background. Like, where your mom is a teacher, you drive to vacations instead of flying, and your neighbors are truck drivers and cops and firefighters and car salesmen. Lots of two-parent families, lots of white people.

A bunch of kids got into all sorts of trouble, but I can only remember one kid getting sent away to one of these ”scare your kid straight” camps. He was a grade-A jackass, but the apple didn’t fall far from the tree, unfortunately.

When he left, most people (adults and kids) had the same reaction: confused why a parent would do that to their child, but also not confused that those parents did it, and also not losing much sleep over who it happened to.

And so, at least in my experience, this wasn’t some sort of epidemic. Maybe it is now, I don’t know. Maybe it’s something mostly rich people do.
Nintendo did the exact opposite with its subsequent mobile game Mario Kart Tour. It's free to play but has tons of optional paid upgrades plus an optional monthly subscription.
> so it is a bit like gambling in that aspect

It's not a bit like gambling, it's exactly gambling and the predatory nature of it is what I hate about video games.
Quite right.

If there's a golden age of video gaming, we're living in it now. The sheer quantity of quality, innovative games out there is almost absurd.
Even in that case it's worth talking to the security team about it.
I think those numbers are all relative?

If you're a bored prince with billions of liquid cash and even more billions of yielding assets, do you really care about 10-20k of weekly outlays?

Or reduce the scale, if you have 100k annual salary, do you miss that $3 a day you spend on coffee or $5 a week you spend on mobile gaming? ... or $15.99 a month you spend on Netflix?

Everyone has a thing and a threshold they are comfortable spending on. Some people want 4 wheels that will take them from A to B and other people are willing to spend $500 a month to get a Tesla.

We focus on digital goods because they have a perceived cost of zero to manufacture and are transient (one day the game will no longer work) but fail to spot that the value we heap on many material goods are social and most of us do not buy goods for life (hence why r/BuyItForLife is a subculture rather than conventional wisdom)
Two economists are walking down the street and one of them notices what appears to be a $20 bill on the sidewalk. “It’s not a real $20 bill,” the other economist declares. “If it were a real $20 bill, someone would have picked it up off the sidewalk already.”
> Nothing is upstreamed because the quality is so shoddy that you'd get Linus Torvalds into a proper ragepost if you dared to post it for submission

True, but the community does clean up and upstream stuff over time. It's just very slow work, made even more confusing by how much SoC hardware components are duplicated with small variations in different platforms. De-duplicating and merging drivers for some random IP block can involve pretty serious effort

I thought Google would no longer follow the idea to replace Android with Fuchsia. Do you have a source for this statement?
This is probably why most people don't keep $100 bills in their pockets for 20 years.
My shot in the dark: embrace, extend, and extinguish Linux.
This resonates. I usually wrap my long running commands in something that sends a push notification when they finish so that I don't jump around seeing if things completed or failed. I find the distraction of the push notification less disrupting than continually checking for completeness.
I'm imagining that people still have the dollars, they just believe they're worhtless. So people are happy to trade them away to anyone offering something valuable in exchange for them.

The question I expected you to ask is why people wanted the bonds, since all they're backed by is future dollars. The circularity is resolved by the fact that people know that there will be some demand from the government for dollars, since the government has outstanding dollar-denominated debt.
