At least Debian cannot and will never be bought, will always be there, has an army of contributors (some of them kernel developers), and is basically the only enterprise grade free distribution.

Now just add some RHEL/CentOS containers on top where needed and forget about the RH lock-in.

I’m betting on Flutter web across a 2-3 year timeframe but none of the things I’ve listed there are conceptual ideas that are only going to land in the distant future.

WebGPU and WasmGC are both already implemented in most browsers and are currently just behind a flag as far as I know.

It doesn’t feel like magical thinking to me at all, it’s a pretty clear path forward IMO.
Yes I agree! I'd love to create pages that show the popularity of stacks/benefits! Interesting idea about breaking it up by market/vertical too, this is likely something we'll do in the future!
just, like, everything in this World?

Should we label everything "the true face of" (meaning they are evil) when the representatives of 450 million people lay out some document we don't like?
CRT is a legal theory taught in colleges that is based on the ideas that are being taught in some elementary and secondary schools. No, CRT proper is not taught to children. Yes, the ideas that CRT is based on are being taught to some children. When the right says CRT is taught in schools this is what they are talking about. When the left and the media says that CRT isn't taught in schools they are talking about the CRT legal theory.

CanvasKit still renders to canvas (maybe that's what you meant by "canvas-like", but it is still directly drawing to an HTML canvas), it just enables Flutter to utilize a more advanced feature set than the DOM canvas API. It also comes with a 2MB or so download (which is why by default it's off on mobile last I checked).
I'm interested to hear from other people who are bearish on Wordpress' future. Where are you headed? We agree with many of the points the author raised, as well as some additional pain points regarding general maintenance and design decisions (too many ways to do the same thing). Decoupled, static content generators seem to be the direction the industry is heading, but so far we've had trouble finding a content model creation, organization and editing experience that is as mature, reliable and affordable as WordPress.
I've used PySide6 recently and I must say it's great, so you can also add Python to Qt's side.

And I first encountered it (2004?), exclusively verbally, as a way to soften asshole. As far as I could tell and assumed to this day, it was taken up primarily aesthetically (sounds nicer than asshole and looks nicer in text, literally aesthetics here).

Still, it had the same implication of someone who is sort of oblivious to other people (asshole) but in a somewhat endearing or amusing or not all that serious a way.
> This is not upstreamable in its current form (nvidia admit this in their press release)

True, I remember though that the semi-recent AMD Radeon drop was not immediately merge-able to mainline because they used a bespoke hardware abstraction layer. But (as alluded to by your point #1) it's a huge first step, and in AMD's case I think they eventually reworked it so that it could indeed be merged.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll add a way to filter companies by country soon. You can already filter jobs by country via https://himalayas.app/jobs :)
This sounds like you are following way too many sources.
I'm completely out of the loop (I only use Debian). What did RH do w/ version 8?
Yes, of course, everyone who disagrees with me is just an idiot who doesn’t know better. Excellent discourse.

You do understand there is no native difference between Ionic and flutter right?

Just to be clear, I used the word everywhere. I believe they are quite a bit more explicit in framing it for all platforms, including web specifically. It's possible we'll see it get there, but I think there is a lot of things to do (and undo) to do that.

> The license is abundantly clear about this and answers all your questions.

The GPL is emphatically not clear about anything. It's a legal minefield precisely because no one has any idea what it means, and everyone has their own interpretation.

Well, then,... that's about as clear as mud.
I've heard this "therapists are just out to keep you hooked on therapy" trope many times and I don't think it is true. The demand for good therapists vastly outstrips the supply - they don't need to keep patients hooked when there are plenty of new ones waiting.

Most therapists I've had recently have said something along the lines of "therapy should be temporary for most people, if you're a few months in and not seeing measurable progress then you might need another therapist." This is in keeping with my experience, which is that you make progress on whatever issue brought you to therapy, the law of diminishing returns kicks in, and it's no longer worth the time and expense.

Of course some people have more serious conditions and do need to be in therapy constantly, but that isn't the norm for most who experience mental health problems.

Also - never needed therapy? Ever? For anything? Not even a little bit? Sounds like some self examination might be in order.
No plans to expand to non-remote companies at the moment. We want to focus on making Himalayas the best site for remote job seekers and as you can see from all the feedback, we still have a long way to go!
The impact is absolutely noticeable, just difficult to attribute.

Every time I rebuild my laptop it has these “mysterious” slowdown periods that force me to dig through the metrics to see what is the culprit.

About 80% of the time it’s telemetry.

The worst one is actually the Intel driver installer which has telemetry that is so far beyond obnoxious that it’s an embarrassment to every so-called “engineer” involved.

Shame.

Shame.
Of course, eventually - there is also Alma Linux which already has a beta available and the stable release will probably be ready in 2 weeks or so.
>in middle school

Haha that's awesome! I was 1 yo 23 years ago, but in the same vein, I had my middle school years of Linux. Although it was significantly simpler than what you were up to at the same age!
What do you mean with "old times"? :)

That's basically still what happens. Fedora automates this nicely with akmods, which automatically rebuilds these source only modules and installs them when you update the kernel. Has been working smoothly for a while, but it is fundamentally the same thing still.
Do you have tests that run on your host machine, can start an API server and interact with it, and also drive the Flutter app? Or do your tests run on the mobile device?
I don't understand why they can't figure it out, just fucking slide the text to where it's visible.
> Apart from Qt, but the licensing issue is a hindrance

Qt is LGPLv3, which is really a problem only if you plan to develop embedded software.

Sure, there are a few GPL v3 modules here and there, but it's mostly very specific stuff (virtual keyboards, Wayland compositors, ...)
It'd have to be demonstrated. There's always places to hide in generalities.

Every word can be quibbled over as not actually applying and thus sitting outside the definition.

It's a prohibition against a generally described feature which makes it fundamentally contestable.

And say you nab them. Then they just have to do an otherwise meaningless permutation to the feature and claim they're compliant and you're back in court.

Ianal btw
I agree :) We'll be adding pages for salary information at companies in the future! I really appreciate the feedback!
> Endless pointless meetings.

Normally I have few meetings, but recently it's gone up a bit. I told people I'll be available so they can call me in if they have a specific question. Suddenly I got stuff done again.

> Managers don't care.

This is part of the reason why I looked for a smaller company, where passion is required to survive.
Yeah, maybe I wasn’t clear enough. I’m talking about surveillance on the level of sticking a camera down your toilet and putting you in jail for even thinking that you could send an encrypted message to somebody.
Yea. On the ATC recording they say how they are sending him to the largest nearby airport, which has runways big enough to land jumbo jets, so he'd have plenty of space. I'm sure making sure he'd have enough space to bleed off speed without any experience was on their mind.
According to the code, will the nflag work if you put it at the end? (e.g. 'echo hello world -n')

If I’m wrong then I’m happy to admit it. I don’t follow that ecosystem closely and was only going off a few old blog posts I remember and everyone making a big deal of it at the time.
I'm running my own tiny WP server and I hate that block thing. Good to know other people are feeling the same.
I got my MBA in '08 so I'm sure some has changed since then. We had an ethics class which focused solely on ethical financial reporting (ala Enron). But for sure we were taught to look at the majority of workers as one might look at machines in a factory.

Yep, we're trying to cater for the tools that are used by different teams, not just SE, but couldn't think of a better term than tech stack :)
Oh, I do mostly agree with you that it isn't magical thinking. I do think there were some choices made that might make it a bit more difficult to switch, but the Flutter team has been willing to make big shifts in the past.

Personally, I'm not willing to be on Flutter Web right now, and as you can see, I still actively dissuade it's use as I don't think it's good for the web as it is. But that doesn't mean that in a few years I'll think differently.

I don't think that's how Ionic developers would describe it today. Have you actually used it or Capacitor recently? The quality of apps being built on the platform has never been higher. (one random example: https://reflect.app)
For the people downvoting. The dude is saying there was nothing to download since the drivers come with the is install.
You are totally right! We are actually making the pricing public next week. We will keep the free version plus starting at $30/month for individual accounts and $150 for team accounts ;)
When I found out the landing page at a previous job was Wordpress based I was a little miffed, but in practice it wasn’t that bad to work with for what I needed.

I wasn’t doing the design work etc… but setting up some forwards and other in the weeds things wasn’t really bad at all.

I wouldn’t want to be the sole maintainer, but it’s really not the worst thing I’ve had to work with.
My thoughts wasn’t particularly related to this suggestion. As I said, I’m against it. I’m talking about more or less watching your every move maybe even to the point of not letting you communicate with other human beings at all. Alternatively, we can all be held in some kind of future zoo where we only have access to technology pre Turing machines.
Sounds about right. Well written C just isn't very verbose.

You can make it verbose by adding a ton of patterns that you don't need, like the gobject code in gnome. But you don't need to.
I've watched a lot of tech presentations and though I don't care for their products, Panos Panay when he talks about Surface stuff is the gold standard. That guy just exudes charisma and you can tell that he's genuinely passionate about it.

Every group implements their own telemetry. Every group goes through the same “learning process” of making it asynchronous and correctly dealing with proxies, firewalls, etc…

Inevitably mistakes are made that either slow down computers or outright freeze apps that can’t connect to some telemetry endpoint.

Security teams around the world feel like they’re holding back the tide with a broom because EVERY piece of software is contributing to a veritable firehouse of information sprayed all over the Internet from every endpoint on the network.

This is not okay.

It’s not Microsoft’s computer.

It’s not their network.

It’s not their data.

How is this not clear?

How can you be so apologetic?
The bill doesn't propose to ban children from social media, but rather bans them from being recommended content. In practice it would likely mean that a child's account will just view most recent or top content, or would require them to search for content. As opposed to being profiled and recommended content outside of their/their guardian's control.

I see no problem with this for children. I think that it's inevitable that this is instituted in the EU for children, and I think it should be an option for all people.
Doing away with the Senate would be change to the fundamental agreement that was made when each state joined. The only moral way to do it would be to dissolve the existing United States and then let each of the 50 individual states decide if they want to remain as their own independent country, join the newly formed United Residents of America, or join some other country, perhaps Mexico, perhaps Canada, perhaps one of three or five new countries formed out of collections of the 50 states that used to be part of the United States. Simply removing the power of the individual states that they were given in exchange for joining the Union is immoral.
I quite like Dart. I can't remember what they're called, but I remember it has something that lets you declare a stream (actually, maybe that's what it's called) that I thought was pretty ergonomic.
"I would argue that statements made 30 years ago are irrelevant to the current debate"

You asked for a sitting representative. She's still there. I would guess her views haven't changed much but is just out of the spot light now.

"Im generally opposed to equating LGBT issues to gun-control issues. This dichotomy was brought up by a previous comment and I dont really want to get bogged down in the issue. After all, one is an issue of bodily autonomy and freedom of expression, and the other is an issue of "what do we do about this thing that is expressly designed to harm other humans"."

I don't think they are closely related, but they are both strongly held beliefs and deal with rights. Some say the right to self defense is a natural human right and that guns are a tool in that context. It seems that by your statement you hold some rights above others (and don't even mention anything related to right on the other subject). Is this perhaps indicating that each side has a different perception? Also, guns have other purposes, they aren't all just for harming others.

"I will still hold that the right will shut down at any nuanced discussion of the issue, which I see as the main problem. If the GOP took a principled but open-minded stance, you could negotiate down from the reactionary Dem position down to one that thinks critically about privacy as you suggest... but the GOP doesn't allow that discussion."

Is it possible this is a standoff - that the GOP thinks they would have critical debate if only the other side proposed something they saw as reasonable first? Everyone wants to blame the other side, and I agree that it's just all reactionary at this point. But seeing the other side as the main problem might just be the reason we have such stalemate.

"Do you see how I may not agree with the false equivalency of gun rights and lgbt rights?"

I'm not saying they are equal, but they are similar in how rights and restrictions are imposed/violated in the name of common sense and reasonable things (as said by people with no experience on the issues).

I'm not aware of anyone at the federal level trying to take away your Healthcare and safety rights (but maybe they aren't mainstream enough).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bostock_v._Clayton_County

On the fear and retaliation, I believe those would be federal hate crimes. Again, I don't know of any mainstream movement against that.

The comments about pedophilia are terrible. I believe the bill only removes all sex related cirruculum material but doesn't impact personal expression.
If there's a project you care about particularly, there are plenty of things that usually need volunteers to accomplish. Examples include: making icon sets, making themes, moderating forums, proofreading wikis, translation into other languages...

Gentoo still uses the split setup by default. Unifying the directories is currently a work in progress and will eventually be the default from what I understand.

It's possible that Gentoo will still support the split setup even after the default is changed since it supports many different inits and libcs but I am not sure.
I've always been skeptical of crypto but did look into Coinbase as it seemed reputable in some way. I watched a compelling video of the CEO describing how Coinbase was going to effectively make the world better by providing stable banking services for the world. It might have sounded cheesy but I kept an open mind and watched on.

I could buy into that vision except for one thing--it always included "with crypto" which to me has always been an answer looking for a problem once it became a 'store' than working currency. I watched to the end of the video to see if anything in the distant future might potentially be not-crypto and it was never mentioned, so I tuned out.
Good, I hate Carvana. They told me I didn't have to use Docusign to buy a car, told me I didn't have to take a selfie holding my drivers license and send it to their random delivery driver, then 5 minutes before coming to deliver the car, called and said I had to use Docusign, I had to do the selfie, or they wouldn't deliver the car. I told them to shove it.

They also kept all of my records, even though we didn't do a deal, and said they could only remove them if I lived in California. IOW, they could remove them, but wouldn't. I hope they die soon.
The matches my experience. They can manage whatever web of crazy they want in Wordpress… if they need something from the dev side we can play with some plugins until it works.

Sometimes the answer is “oh god we can’t do that”… and that seemed to be ok if we had some alternatives
The point is that the party has no intrinsic right to a slot in the general election.

The WEP can put whoever they wish up to represent them, selected however they wish, in a process funded by their party resources.

Then the primary is a voting population wide decision to winnow the field to a reasonable final competition.

A state funded primary that is locked to a party selection process is an interesting use of public funds.
They might have some optimisation for photographing documents, it's true.

But when I say the performance is good, I'm not just declaring the images good because the portraits have simulated bokeh, or face-detecting autoexposure, or image stabilisation, or tasteful HDR, or a beauty mode that airbrushes out blemishes and makes photos of sunsets really pop.

Even in applications where none of those features come into play, the iPhone, can still go toe-to-toe with cameras with much larger sensors.

What was it like programming throughout the 2001 crash (from ex-FANG, DeFi dev)?
As someone who quit my job to go all in crypto (and DeFi), it seems mass adoption has been put off a few year with the recent UST blowup. Given I don't have enough to retire, I'm considering working at a regular old company for a while.

> Apart from Qt , but the licensing issue is a hindrance.

Most of Qt is available under the LGPL. Some application specific libraries are available under the GPL, but there's no reason you'd need to use them unless you have special use cases that their libraries would make easier to handle.

> I just wish Google had built Flutter on a low level core that isn't tied to Dart, so it would be usable from other languages.

Agreed, I figured that was the direction Flutter was going to go, with wrapper APIs for other languages, but it seems it never happened.

Dart is okay, but it's not a language I'd choose to write anything in. The only reason to use it is because of Flutter, as you've said.

In practice, it isn't just UI code that ends up getting written in Dart + Flutter, but the entire application and client code, excluding things like REST backends.

With Qt's QML, you're very much just writing UIs in QML and JavaScript, leaving a clean separation between the UI, core, and application and client code.
The tests run on the mobile device, or rather mostly the emulator. No API server to interact with (and I would not know why?). The shop uses integration tests for three things: 1. Testing some migrations 2. Click through the app, as part of a release checklist 3. Run crypto operation to check multiple plugins for continued compatibility.
