The data supporting the position is pretty low quality, usually the figure cited is average median salary.

Medians without context are dangerous. If you’re trying to assert discrimination, something like adjusted hourly wage makes more sense.

Another stat will be total compensation male v. female; this is the statistic used to make this point in union shops with pay scales. Then the argument shifts to assert bad promotion practices.

> You can have any number installed and either switch by changing the tools version file

Oh, that's cheating :) Nix can do the same thing! Derivations are just kept in the store until you garbage collect them. You can also configure multiple versions at the same time to present you with multiple binaries, which is what I was referring to.

> Again theory vs practice. In theory, sure, it depends on the plugin. In practice, almost every plugin lists every single released version to choose from. Which is much different from nix where the official choices are limited and you have to work to enable the rest.

In practice, nixpkgs supports every maintained version of most tools. Certainly far more tools than asdf can ever hope to maintain. If not, there's an overlay or flake out there to support it. Can you come out with specific examples and a usecase?
I fail to see how your comment is substantiative. I don’t need to reflect, but thx for your concern.
There is a plethora of free GPU-accelerated terminals. Alacritty, kitty, foot, wezterm, etc. None of these as far as I know send telemetry data. I see no reason to think that a new terminal is going to make money somehow by finding a balance.
nix local package search sucks, and it is much more effective to use the online package search [1].

It's astounding because the local version is doing a naive, case-sensitive regex search, which is pretty bad when you're looking for, say, the Perl package MIME::Lite which can have various junctions and capitalizations. In fact, that package has a listed name of perl5.34.0-MIME-Lite but is installable as nixpkgs.perl534Packages.MIMELite!? I can't even

I found the code a few months back (but can't be bothered to look it up just for a comment). I didn't fix it then because I had other priorities than learning how to modify my local copy of nix to test it.

I got sucked into a cult-like church in my 20s. It's like a drug when you're feeling down in life. I'm more attuned to this level of bullshit now. But not everyone is which is why these tactics work.

I'll still engage if a stranger talks to me and try to be affable but will maintain a healthy level of distrust. Because sometimes people just like to chat with a stranger in hopes of friendship. Have a friend who made friends with the lead singer of a somewhat popular indie band. Didn't even know who he was until after several months of hanging out :D

Not surprising, I see so many downtown areas still closed in the SJ area. It's tough to open a business when the people in the area don't have the money to buy your products.

When 2/3rd's of the nation are paycheck to paycheck, even in an affluent area like SJ, if your business is not providing something extremely essential, then you are effectively marketing to just 1/3rd of the population with money.

This tautology that has been spread through out our society that "rich people create jobs" is absurd, demand creates jobs, and decent paychecks create demand. So when paychecks have been stagnant for 40 years, what do people expect is going to happen?
This is very much up for debate. Elected officials actually have free postage and can send letters if they need to. Not only that, they likely enjoy direct access to their local news networks and can broadcast messages through that avenue. Most have email lists, and can send interested constituents updates through that platform. Most also have websites on official .gov accounts where they could host press releases as well.

Not everyone has a Twitter account, and I think you need to seriously reframe your perspective if you think it is the cure-all for delivering news to constituents.

Honestly, this looks like a shitload of work. The art is beyond me completely, I'd need capital to get that made by competent artists. They have articles from Rolling Stone, so I'm guessing I would need a LOT of capital to line that up. They have half a million followers on Twitter and Instagram, etc. This looks very much like a high investment scam needing a medium company worth of talent and capital to pull off. In short, this looks like the work of a funded startup. How do you actually do this with very few resources?
OP here.

> "Open-source workflow" means you're leaving quality on the table.

That is true, but my choice of software is not uni-dimensional, I also care about trusting the software I run in my computer and their maintainability in the long term, to highlight two other important dimensions for me. When considering all this together I have little choice but to use free software exclusively.

Of course different people will assign different weights to each dimension, and that is completely fine, but let's not oversimplify the decision to just "quality".

I think this is a pretty naive take. Developing anything at Twitter-scale will run into security considerations, infrastructure development or optimization, constructing data workflows, multiple design iterations, UX design (how do people find and use this feature?), i18n, accessibility, product marketing, user testing, copy testing, and other functions and that’s not even considering the actual product development, which is of course across multiple platforms.

It seems to be more about skill and budget of the development teams, and those are both getting bigger. I think a major underlying factor is the massive increase of transistor budgets relative to clock speed and latency to memory. That pulls every architecture down the path of big caches, speculation, specialized functional units, multiprocessors, etc, that add complexity dwarfing anything in the front end. If I was starting fresh the labor to do x86 would be a handicap but on the other hand Intel switching to RISC-V or whatever wouldn't do anything for them.

IBM Unveils Z16 Mainframe
About 15 years ago, I was listening to a podcast that was largely about economic philosophy and personal freedoms. High on the libertarian views and it appealed to me at the time. I heard about a meeting organized by the people who made that podcast and decided to check it out. The podcast and related organization were connected to a property investment system at the height of the housing bubble. My wife decided to go with me.

We met in the basement of an unfurnished house. There was an American Flag on a free-standing pole. We said the pledge of allegiance and I think there might have been an ambiguous prayer. Then we watched a video of some sort by the founder of the podcast.

The experience was very weird. It set off my “this is weird” alarms which made me step away from it.

The founder eventually went to prison for running a Ponzi scheme.

I think people very much want to belong to a group, and be told that the way they view the world is right. And there are plenty of people who are happy to tell you you’re right and you belong if you’ll just offer yourself up to them.
Twitter is for journalists who now don't have to walk downstairs to get the pointless opinion of the man on the street
Closed source terminal? Pass.
I expect Matt Levine’s take will amount to some version of this; Elon Musk uses Twitter to make a lot of money via his various market manipulations, one risk to that is Twitter doing something to make those market manipulations harder, so a way of mitigating those risks is to buy as much of Twitter as possible to get as much of a say as possible, in an effort to prevent that from happening.

Surely Elon has made $3bn off of Tweets by now, it makes perfect sense for him to spend some of that as a way of protecting future additional earnings, both for him and the various companies he runs that also make money off of Elon’s tweets.
The confusing part for some people who don't live in SF is the realization that "downtown SF" is essentially the worst part of the city - the part that people love to complain about on Twitter. The primary reason for venturing into the FiDi/SoMa/Civic Center areas was because that's where the office buildings are, and people had to be in the office. Now that most tech workers in the city don't have to be in the office, they're free to avoid that part of the city and stay/live/explore the many other neighborhoods of SF that are nothing like "downtown". As a transplant it took me a little while to understand this because typically a city's downtown area is a desirable place to be - untrue for SF (and also LA while I'm on the topic).

How so? The Linux Foundation took competing vendor solutions and somehow found a way to get them to work together. Now the CNCF solutions are considered pretty standard across the board and interoperability is almost crucial for survival.

I once read that the academic social contract before the 1970s was that an advisor would not accept a graduate student unless they were sure they had a "place" for them lined up, i.e., in another institution. I don't know how that could have worked, but it speaks to the difference in social contract prior to when graduate students were treated as exploitable labor with no actual academic prospects.
Yeah, I also don’t see why such patterns should apply differently to any community past a sufficiently large Dunbar number, modulo some tribal factor. Humans simply haven’t evolved to differentiate between a tribe of three thousand, or three million.

Want proof? Tell me how many people might read this comment and agree with it.

Humans are bad at large scale pattern recognition and suffer from extreme proximity bias. It’s why filter bubbles exist.

For the same reason, it seems dangerous to promote the idea that it’s even possible to “have a conversation as a society.” If any such conversation is taking place, surely its level of inherent selection bias would render any of its conclusions irrelevant. Only a participant or biased observer could claim otherwise.

Society has a filter-bubble deficiency. For a global population nearing ten billion humans, the number of distinct information channels is alarmingly low in comparison. It’s not possible to have an honest “conversation as a society” in such an asymmetrical information environment.
I don't disagree with those numbers, but I still don't understand how they bolster the assertion that, "the chance we get into serious trouble due to climate change is significantly reduced". Just because something could happen doesn't mean that it will happen, or if it does, that it will happen when we need it to or that it will even be enough.

Two years ago we needed to start reducing emissions by 4% every year. We didn't. We must now reach a whopping 50% emissions reduction by 2030 to limit temperature increases to 1.5C, because the current path we are on could increase temperatures by 4.4C by 2100.

Getting every nation to ditch their ICE vehicles has to happen, yes, but it's not that simple. You can't just ban the sale of new ICE vehicles and expect that 7% to drop to 0%, because everyone who already owns an ICE vehicle is going to keep driving it until they've decided they're done with it for whatever reason. So, the only way to get to 0% ICE vehicles by 2030 would be to make it illegal to operate one - today.

Politics is involved. Getting large swaths of America (or anyone in any nation with an affinity for an ICE vehicle, but this subset of folk is a great example) to give up their gasoline and their trucks and their mustangs is like asking someone to stop breathing. Asking developing nations with little money or ability to modify their infrastructure to support only ICE vehicles over the next eight years is an outstandingly daunting task. I could go on and on, and while I admire your hopefulness, what you're saying requires the entire world to accomplish the same goal in a far shorter amount of time than we actually have.

I want to view the future through rose-colored glasses. I want to have high hopes that EVs will save us.

They won't.

Yeah, with the arrival of clojure.spec, some error messages has indeed gotten easier to both read and parse (for humans and machines alike), although when you use Clojure JVM so still come across the odd huge Java stack-trace (or with ClojureScript, a pretty sizable JavaScript stack-trace).

I don't know why you were downvoted, but I will say that for me caffeine has not directly impacted my depressive episodes. The closest is when it impacts my sleep. I've learned that poor sleep quality and insomnia are my first obvious signs of a depressive episode, but the causal direction is not always straightforward (depression -> insomnia, insomnia -> depression? Both have happened, they feed on each other). So keeping caffeine to the morning and early afternoon is sufficient in my case.

However, caffeine does heighten my anxiety (with or without the impact on sleep). Maybe I should quit caffeine, but I like my morning coffee ritual so have no plan to right now. Instead, I take periodic breaks from caffeine to make sure I'm not addicted again. If I can go a few days without caffeine and without getting a headache, then I'm good. If I can't, then I'm probably consuming too much and it will (or already has) exacerbate my anxiety.
Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated!
yeah, hard pass

First of all, we love Alacritty: our terminal model code is based on Alacritty’s model code. We’re grateful that a few of the collaborators reviewed our early design docs.

We think the two products are meant for two different audiences.

Alacritty has a very minimalist philosophy that suits some terminal power users very well. It’s geared towards folks who are familiar with more advanced tools like tmux, and who are comfortable doing advanced configuration in the shell. For instance, Alacritty has no tabs: users are expected to use tmux.

With Warp, you get similar performance to Alacritty (we are both Rust-based, GPU-accelerated native apps, and Warp leverages some of Alacritty’s model code) But you also get many more built-in features that we think make all developers more productive, like:

- Blocks (grouping commands and outputs together)

- A modern text editor for your input

- Features like Workflows and AI command search that help you perform tasks faster

- Tabs, native split panes, and menus
This story is a really great argument for "trust your gut." You don't always need an eloquent articulation of why something is off for it to be real. Also, no experience gets better than the initial meet. If something feels off initially, that feeling will never go away.

"Rules are there for a good reason and must be followed" is also called fascism under certain circumstances. The old soviet ladies watching like hawks from balconies the goings on in the hood were all about power trips and exploiting the situation.

What is "maximally romantic" for other people to do is truly none of your concern.

...what? Those fucks aren't us. At all.

No. There's no context - they lied to get us into multiple wars. The American people don't want that shit. This sounds like apologia for the military-corporatic interventionist garbage.

Honestly it's the same infuriating "personal responsibility" CRAP like recycling - it's a smokescreen, meant to make a collective problem your personal responsibility. It doesn't matter how many bottles you throw out if you allow the factory up the street to make 1B of them, some of them are going to end up in the river, but do we hold the businesses accountable or make them switch to glass bottles? "That would impact their profits!"

A rational actor would avoid, if at all possible, anything to do with the military. It hasn't "worked" for us for decades and decades. Those people are NOT US.
> The other option is to buy much more solar panel capacity than you need,

You need the space to install them also. I have a 6.6kW array, and would need 3x that capacity to heat my home using electrically-powered air source heat pumps during the winter months. Even with 0.75 acres / 0.30 hectares, that would be quite a lot of my property covered by panels, and way more than could ever feasibly fit on the roof (the current array is ground mount).

That is also a model I've looked at very closely. Good to know that it can do that!

Currently I have a 34" 3440 x 1440, and with two separate docking stations (one for each laptop) and a USB hub for my peripherals that is connected to both docking stations. It's a lot of extra mess on my desk that ideally I would like to cleanup with having everything connect directly to the monitor.

BTW, how is the resolution on the 40"? Can you use it with native resolution, or do you have to do any scaling? Having all of that extra screen real estate would be awesome
That hasn’t been true in like forty years. Women do initiate conversation now in modern society.
Schenkerian analysis is literally the idea of taking out all the "hierarchically inferior" black notes from a piece of music and showing only a handful of hierarchically dominant, big, important "white notes". Of course this basic idea has nothing to do with modern notions of race, but it turns out that the visual contrast of "colors" describes the idea quite precisely. So I'm quite OK with conceding that one point to Ewell.

(It's worth noting the flip side of that argument, too - we literally have historical sources telling us "when you see a composition made of big, white notes, that will sound a lot better if the performer improvises on them melodically on the spot, keeping the overall meter of the white note" (Lorenzo Penna, Li primi albori musicali). And of course, on-the-spot improvisation has been mastered to an unprecedented degree in the modern day by the "black" tradition of Jazz!)

All religions are full of radical climate change hysteria, because climate has always been unpredictable... and always a good way to scare and control people. Relating random climate events to human "sins" is the oldest and longest lived scam. All you have to do is convince the people that you talk to the "gods" (or equivalent... "science"?, "computer models"?) and can save people from the climate... and you can scam them. It seems to never get old, so absolutely no reason to stop using it.
