I'm not sure if your joking or not.

The first effect of a free market is that staffing costs will double almost instantly. A 10% vacancy rate and a 8-16 year lag for doctors and a 6 year lag for nurses will create inflationary pressures for staff.

Without a proper regulation structure there will be a drop in care (free market means profit, which means cost cutting which means understaffing. Just look at holland)

The second effect of free market will mean that only dense cities will have good facilities. Again, cities are the only place where you can run a profitable specialist centre.

What you are failing to grasp from my post is that the 50% of the issue with the NHS are largely cultural. Changing culture is hard.

Yes there are opportunities to create efficiency, but frankly there aren't enough staff to do that. This means spending more money on the NHS.
Maybe. I don’t think most people with math/physics PhDs have done much with machine learning or the specific tech that companies are looking for, so that’s why so many of these bootcamps popped up. The people in my social circle who did bootcamps to transition to jobs from PhDs seemed happy enough with them, but that doesn’t make all bootcamps equal. My info is also 5+ years old, so circumstances may have changed. I do believe you that there are a lot of crappy bootcamps now.
Their true motives are far from protecting kids. Otherwise, they would install security cameras inside all corners in all churches in the continent, and, more importantly, enforce bodycam on pastors 24/7.
I'm struggling to understand what it is you're even asking.

I think, in part, this is because you make several assertions that either make no sense, or are so peppered with "biz-dev-speak" that I can't even understand what the original assertion is.

One example:

> time was dealt with 20th-century, office-first, protocols. Hierarchical, cultural and physical protocols that double down as constraints...

What does that even mean? How does one "double down" "constraints"? What is a "physical protocol"?

Would it be difficult to just ask the question without all the bizarre preamble?

Something like "how are makers and managers using software and services in 2022, and how does that compare to pre-covid use?"

I really love this.

I am a firm believer in everyone studying _some_ martial art (player's choice).

For the following reasons:

- It teaches an insane amount of respect when two people have to hold themselves back to practice

- It teaches self-discipline, mostly in the long-forgotten art of keeping yourself from becoming so angry you cannot function with form.

- It gives a crazy amount of confidence to know you are at least a little bit prepared for bad situations

- It removes a lot of the panic instinct in all kinds of intimidating situations, from actual fights, to presenting to a review board.

- You quickly learn to operate through pain and discomfort and intimidation, even if you are not being actually injured (e.g., not actually sparring).

- Everyone should feel that they are legitimately their own first line of defense. Even if that defense is to create space and get away.

I lived the 2008 crisis, so maybe I'm overly pessimistic about investment managers from what I saw back then. But it seems to me that it's easy to appear respectable when everyone is making money, but true honor is tested in times like these. I mean, look at Melvin, right? He was a wunderkind of how to do things right until he lost some money, and now he's threatening to close his fund and immediately launch a new one, just so he can reset his high water mark. I got a call once from a VC fund manager who wanted to buy some private stock I owned well over the recent raise price, because he had unused cash left over that would otherwise go undeployed. There's just all sorts of slimy things that happen, and Tiger deploying tons of cash into deals that no one else except Insight will do looks a little skeptical.
based on levels.fyi senior comp should be somewhere around 800k TC which makes sense taking into account what living in metro areas in CA will cost taking everything into account long term. of course a large part of that is equity etc. 200k is still not very well paid taking into account many other ways you can make money and the crazy requirements put on engineers.
I don't see non extremist anti-trans to condem extremists in their ranks. Ever. Nor conservatives for that matter.

I agree there'd be quite a bit of compatibility breakage and churn associated with trying to change these at this point.

That said, I think one of the better reasons (and ways) to weigh the value of changing some long-term practice is to focus on the anticipated costs of the change on one side of the ledger, and the ongoing (easy to ignore) unbounded costs of the status quo on the other (and appropriately weight them by who pays and how often). To shoot from the hip:

- If it's only a modest improvement that still supports a bit of misunderstanding, folksonomizing, and arguing about where things belong--it'll just waste time and energy better spent elsewhere. Any time would probably be better spent on writing and promoting/propagating a really good canonical reference to the status quo that can help drive out confusion and enable devs/admins answer practical questions (even if inefficiently).

- If (utopia warning) someone is able to significantly improve how accurately and quickly humans can make real dev/admin decisions from a clear mental model _and_ get enough buy-in to do it across all of the major Unix-alikes, it's probably worth some medium-term pain.

FWIW, the ongoing progress of NixOS, which doesn't really have any of these paths (beyond /usr/bin/env and /bin/sh), demonstrates that this pain is surmountable with enough eyes and hands.

They have no teeth on these platforms (as of now). Contrary to this, Android has been engineered from the ground up to make it's inner workings as opaque and unflexible as possible.
Preventing any kind of dynamic agency from growing on the web is one of the most severe threats to user-agency I can imagine. It's a direct strike at one of the most core distinctions that makes the web different from everything else. I really believe strongly that the web will advance once we start making more adaptive scripts/extensions, scripts that can gain & accrue capabilities, and this directly prevents advance.

V2 extensions are no longer allowed but there's still no progress or path for Tampermonkey to even experiment with.
Errr... hang on there. Last I checked Flutter draws their own controls, they're no different than React Native in this context.
Nim had this same problem a couple of years ago, and it's very annoying. I just checked some stdlib functions and it's still there:

https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/lib/std/varints.n...

For example, in readVu64:

18: proc readVu64*(z: openArray[byte]; pResult: var uint64): int =
24: pResult = (uint64 z[0] - 241) * 256 + z[1].uint64 + 240
28: pResult = 2288u64 + 256u64*z[1].uint64 + z[2].uint64
31: pResult = (z[1].uint64 shl 16u64) + (z[2].uint64 shl 8u64) + z[3].uint64
33: let x = (z[1].uint64 shl 24) + (z[2].uint64 shl 16) + (z[3].uint64 shl 8) + z[4].uint64

I get that there has to be some indication to the compiler to distinguish between doing 8-bit unsigned math vs 64-bit unsigned math to evaluate these expressions. But having such a mish-mash in a stdlib function makes new users think, "There must have been a good reason to do it like this since it's in stdlib, but dang if I know what it is!"

I ran into this myself a couple of years ago when looking at Nim and agree it is annoying, verbose, and ugly to be forced to specify types for obvious integer things.

For those who didn't use Nvidia on linux in the old times:

The driver was a proprietary binary. Since a kernel module requires interfacing with the kernel API, it could be considered a derivative work and a breach of the GPL license. So, Nvidia provided a small open source shim which interfaced between the kernel and the proprietary module.

You had to compile that shim yourself with the right arcane command line incantations and if you did anything wrong, missed the right packages or had an incompatible user space, including libs and compiler, you could end up without X11 and no way to easily run a browser or google about the problem you had. You had to do it EVERY FUCKING TIME YOU UPDATED THE KERNEL!

It was still possible to edit xorg.conf or, if you were older, xf86config by hand to fix it and use the VESA driver, but it was very inconvenient. It became more reliable over the time and even fully automated with DKMS, but I hated them for it.

I used and recommended ATI and INTEL for most of the people I could for a long time because of this.

I was from a time when It was possible to use 3D acceleration on linux with 3dfx with fully open source drivers (I think), giving you a cheap UNIX-like graphical workstation with OpenGL support. When Nvidia bought 3dfx and simply killed their drivers, my hate became specially strong.

EDIT: Remember you had to recompile the shim at every kernel update and replaced "module" with "driver".

Chronic stress is no joke. It really does cause brain damage, which people usually describe as "burn-out" as if it is just a thing to get over. But it takes years to get back to a functional condition, and it will not be the condition you started in.

Never stay with a thing that is giving you chronic stress. Damage is permanent. Leave it, or find a way to not be insulated.

A really excellent book on chronic stress and its effects on physiology is "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers", by Robert Sapolsky, and endocrinologist. (It is beyond me how anybody can become an endocrinologist without suffering chronic stress!) I had to read the last chapter at 30 minutes per page, plus breaks, because he was tying up threads from the whole rest of the book.

From the linked article:

> The current codebase does not conform to the Linux kernel design conventions and is not a candidate for Linux upstream. [...]

> In the meantime, published source code serves as a reference to help improve the Nouveau driver. Nouveau can leverage the same firmware used by the NVIDIA driver, exposing many GPU functionalities, such as clock management and thermal management, bringing new features to the in-tree Nouveau driver.
> Michael Crichton would have a better legacy if he had not turned to global climate disruption denialism in his final years.

Maybe not. Recently I played with some relays that support MQTT-over-TLS (Shelly 2nd-gen ones). What I liked was, that they came with empty CA store, it was up to the user to provide all the certs.
> load a module with an incompatible license

Loading any out-of-tree module taints the kernel, for example the vbox modules are GPL: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/virtualbox-h...
If the module can use MESA, good. If not, meh.

>. Adding enough just emulation for the userspace driver would be a lot easier than maintaining a complete linux emulator.

OpenBSD it's the best BSD on support for free (Intel) and semi free drivers such as the ones from AMD, they already adapted all the src from Linux, KMS included.
How does what is being open-sourced differ from the proprietary binary modules?
Reads kind of like an obituary.
1) This is unambiguously Good News

2) This is not upstreamable in its current form (nvidia admit this in their press release)

3) In an ideal world, nouveau (the open source driver for nvidia hardware) would be able to target this kernel code. Right now though there's no commitment for any sort of stable userland ABI, and that makes that difficult (moving to a new driver version may break interfaces that nouveau uses)

The press release does say that they have plans to figure out a more upstream friendly approach in the long term, which is great - and what has been released will undoubtedly help development of the existing nouveau codebase.

> I don't see the threat model they are addressing.

The threat model they're addressing is the one where users have a small semblance of control over their devices and networks. I've been saying for years that HTTPS everywhere, DoH, eSNI (or it's successor), etc. are part of a long term plan for big tech to have absolute control over what users are allowed and not allowed to do with their own devices.

You can't see the threat model because, to them, you're the threat. From that GitHub issue:

Nowadays many plants, including barley and soybeans, are sprayed with round-up two weeks before harvest so they will dry in the field.

Anyone voting for this is clearly not fit to hold their position. Aside from the stupidity of thinking this is enforceable, it's hamfisted and misguided.

When they propose such open-ended legislation there should be an ability for an outside party to make every single one of them fill out a survey of "Would this be allowed/disallowed under the new law?" with a bunch of examples. If the people who voted for it don't have consistency in their answers within some percentage (something like 95% must answer identically) then the bill is rejected since they clearly have no idea what they are talking about.
That might not even be overstatement. The last few big desktop linux crash-and-burns I've run into all had display drivers as a common component.

I like back-foot, underdog NVIDIA. Ascendent AMD hasn't drawn my ire yet, let's hope power corrupts slowly.
I’ve certainly learned things that were harder and more time consuming to learn, for a payoff that was and continues to be well worth the effort. Including programming languages. I did not claim it was easier for me, so how is that arrogant?

And I absolutely reject the notion that an easy to learn programming language is better. Especially so because Go was made “easier to learn” in large parts by its similarity to C, so it’s really easier for people already and only familiar with C, and that was explicitly stated by the creators.
Maybe in an advanced stage of liver failure. It's really stretching to say yellow == white. The default color made nobody happy, which is exactly why it was the right solution to the problem.
Nvidia have always shipped closed-source drivers, despite AMD and Intel providing open source drivers for their GPUs. This made the experience on Linux second class to Windows, where while also closed source, at least you knew that bugs would probably get fixed. Various non-core features simply wouldn't have support on Linux, e.g. Optimus. Also, shipping closed source binaries would limit which kernel you could run to supported versions.

Lastly, of course, this opens the way to non-Linux OSes receiving support as well.

If you just search the web for "Nvidia issues Linux" you'll see quite a few complaints. Particularly from people who have obscure configurations -- they pretty much had no chance of getting anything to work.
I would revise that to say "The Knowledge Graph View is mostly bullshit". That seems to be the core of the argument anyway.

I did a double take because the title is almost clickbait for us desktop Linux users, and immediately wondered "what's the catch?". It's a significant catch, but also a significant step in the right direction.
I would say the expense is both latency and availability because if one node doesn't ack within the timeframe then you have to drop it from the cluster. Requests that go there would need to be routed elsewhere to avoid being unavailable. If there's a network partition preventing that, then you have partial downtime. If enough nodes fail then you have full downtime across the whole cluster.

That's really the problem, right there, and I think she pretty much says it.

I've worked with standards people before (not on the committees, themselves, thank Cthulhu). It's a really rocky environment.

Usually, everyone involved is full of self-interest, and they want to push their own agenda, because billions. Having a standard give you an edge, can be quite valuable. Look to some of the video codecs, and see why.

In that environment, it's often difficult to get everyone to agree on a "The Buck Stops Here" leader. Usually, a Chair is appointed when the committee is formed. Sounds like this one just sort of congealed.
