Close to nobody wants to pay $ to get less “bloat”. End of story. The same way that almost nobody wants to pay $ to get 100% bug free software. Incentives and markets run the world. Either accept it and move on, or continue wasting your time being upset/agitated about it and write angry words that will make exactly zero difference in the world.

I'm curious what you consider to be the bad consequences of recalling your dreams? I remember at least one dream every night and enjoy going back over any of them.

I especially like that I can identify a dream as the cause if I wake up in a weird mood. I worry that if I didn't have this recall, I might wake up just being vaguely pissed at my husband (because he was being a jerk in a dream).
Yeah I thought it was an odd statement to make especially as part of the conclusion.

The emojis are killing me, and I don't know why. Maybe I've forgotten how to have fun.
You've never had night terrors? I'm not sure how those would be classified as beneficial.
... Has it though? The problem here isn't that the tech doesn't exist to support open source. It's that companies don't care to. There's no budget because there's no clear business benefit. Using advertising adds some level of business benefit for the funder, but probably represents an untenable decline in user experience for the fundee.

Gitcoin seems to actually make the problem worse through quadratic matching, so if I have a specific thing I want to fund well because my business relies on it, Gitcoin is the worst possible way for me to do that because my cash will flow through to a bunch of stuff lots of other people care about (but idgaf).
Getting what you want without fighting is winning the fight.
When one buys electronics, you are not paying for the software directly. Still, pedantry accepted. :)

Let me qualify the statement, then: I never paid for off-the-shelf software (or SaaS subscriptions) unless it was available under a F/OSS license.
I certainly struggled to grok git early on, but I feel this is largely because the documentation and explanations were convoluted. I think you can grasp it quickly by just understanding a few key concepts, namely: a commit is a set of changes to files, branches/tags are basically references to a specific commit, commits have an ancestor commit, remotes track distinct copies of the graph. Then you just need to know which commit you are interested in, how to navigate the graph of commits, and how to merge deviated sets of changes. If you understand those things, you know everything you’ll need to 90% of the time.
Usually DeFi platforms will have a lot of tutorials and documentation. Usually the price of an asset in a pair is computed automatically using the ratio asset1:asset2. Stablecoins also have their own docs. For example, terra’s whitepaper explains the fundamentals (mint tokens if the price is too high, burn tokens if the price is too low).
"Benefiting" is only relative: people who managed to exit UST at $1 didn't make a profit, they just avoided being left holding the bag.

The people who actually benefited were those who earned the 18% interest from Anchor, which was funded by the suckers whose "investments" went to zero.

I recently had a play with Fossil to see if I thought we might give it a try on a small project and honestly I found it a bit disappointing.

The biggest surprise was the web UI didn't seem to provide a way to review changed files in the working directory and perform a commit.

With Mercurial, before a commit I'll usually use Tortoisehg to review what I've changed, running diff views (with Meld) on my code changes, etc.

There didn't seem to be a non-command-line way to do this. I guess I expected a nice commit interface that would also easily let me add cross-references to related issues and such, given it is all integrated.

I remember the usenet and gopher features that were part of the AOL client. I remember the hype I had heard as a kid on AOL back in those days. When I found them and tried to use them (I was about 12 years old) I didn't find them very helpful or easy to use like the main forms in AOL but after a few years after leaving AOL I got way more out of IRC and usenet than I had in my time there. What AOL did for me at that time was present an internet that was good enough because it was easy enough to use.
Thanks! Is this procedure only for Sweden and/or European people, or it applies to people outside of Europe as well?
I grew up in Oregon, and my real first job was as a gas station attendant. In my experience, fuel was more expensive in Washington, Idaho, and California (all the surrounding states). So while it doesn’t make the fuel more expensive, it does make running a gas station more labor intensive. Of course we know how corporations feel about having to put up with labor!

Do you really think other SCMs are going to take over git like Linux has in the server industry?

Also, I wouldn’t put the choice of SCM at the same level as the choice for OS.
Clone-structured graph representations enable flexible learning
Complex systems indeed have a lot of failure modes, but what you'll find in any complex system which has survived any appreciable amount of time is that it'll be very tolerant of them: one maxim of system design is a complex system will always be operating in at least one failure mode: even more complex systems will usually have multiple going on at once. Systems can and do deal with this without complete collapse all the time: complete collapse usually happens only after enough failures build up over time such that it cannot compensate.

That said, this doesn't stop someone from designing a complex system which cannot tolerate failure: it's just it'll tend to fall apart as soon as they start to put it together (and they'll either learn quickly how to make it tolerate failure or it'll never get off the ground), it won't generally run fine for a long time and then implode suddenly.
You wouldn’t be able to read about it, because the people using it are too busy optimizing their IDE instead of actually writing blogposts.

More seriously, it really doesn’t matter what you’re using to write on a blog. It’s the content that matter.

I think of Ryzen as the first modern chip that has a multipurpose serdes, but here's PA Semi kicking out this [1] on their first & only chip:

> The device also integrates a flexible I/O subsystem that supports eight PCI Express controllers, two 10-Gigabit Ethernet controllers and four Gigabit Ethernet controllers that share 24 configurable SERDES lanes.

It's interesting that you highlight the cpu as such a limiting factor:

> they never publicly demonstrated any CPU that could actually drive all that bandwidth.

Agreed that the plans to scale up cores were very interesting & promising. But the other ultra-notable features of this ultra-integrated badass SoC monster (the one that shipped) was that it had a colossal crossbar powered DMA engine.

In many applications the cpu could serve as control plane, & the rest of the chip could act like a data-plane, shipping data around. The northbridge can happily pipe gobs of ethernet over to your SATA system, semi-autonomously.

At the time that usually took special carefully tuned code to pull off, I imagine. I like to think today we'd be able to use this DMA engine far more readily- io_uring for async io, all manners of dma-buf linux capabilities for managing device-side memory, plenty of dma engines & offloads in various kernel drivers. Direct device to device communication has continued to be underscores as a huge way to u leash computing, and wow, PA Semi dedicated gobs of die-space to the task way back then.

Such a huge huge pity such a promising new competitor just vanished.

> They had long-term plans, but they may have been starting to doubt the feasibility of executing them,

They indeed ran hotter than expected & core performance was not nearly what was hoped for. According to various LKML posts of people who had dev boxes. Still, so impressed. Tons of brilliant innovation. A little more runway to get off the ground before being torn apart & swallowed by a titan would have been great.

I recently got the book Stop Sleeping Through Your Dreams: A Guide to Awakening Consciousness During Dream Sleep by Charles McPhee, but it sounded a little scary and full-on! So I haven't tried its techniques yet. Anyone here done that?

I'm sure I would've tried it in my 20s, when I was experimenting with everything e.g. once I did a mantra for 2 weeks non-stop.

I had Ann Faraday's The Dream Game, the only really good book on interpreting dreams I've seen. One of its techniques is to treat all the parts of a dream as characters, and talk with them, ask them questions, or put them in dialogue with each other.

I had a dream diary, where I'd write down every dream I remembered. After a while doing that, I'd remember them almost every night. But then I'd write them down, then wake up and realize I only dreamt writing them down. So I'd have to write them down again. I had to stop when every day I'd have to write them down 4 times! Write them down, wake up, realize I only dreamt it, write them down again, wake up, realize I'd only dreamt that, write them down yet again, wake up etc. Too much.

Also I tried sandplay, a kind of psychological therapy, which was absolutely amazing, and seems very similar to getting the parts of a dream talking. The therapist (or whatever they call themselves. Mine was a new-agey author/guru type, but there was nothing new agey about what he said in the sandplay room) has a room with a sandbox in the middle, and shelves full of hundreds of objects, toys, figurines, etc of all kinds around the walls. You walk around the room, selecting whatever object you feel drawn to, and put it in the sand. With as little thinking about it as possible. Then when you feel like stopping, stop. (I kept putting more things in, dozens, until he asked me to stop, and regrettably we only got to talk about a few of them.) Then they ask you to talk about each thing in the sand, what they mean, what one is doing next to another one etc. The answers just pour out, and it's like being able to see inside your head. I found it absolutely incredible, highly recommend! It's fun, painless, you can do it any time... and suddenly the insights/revelations usually locked away and only accessible from dreams/hallucinogens/psychological work, are freely available, gushing out.

Denmark also has progressive employment laws. The problem seems to be that the fine dining business avoids them because it's a tightly-knit industry where everybody's reputation depends on everybody else, young people can't get ahead without stellar recommendations from the same restaurants that make them work endless hours without pay, and so nobody wants to be the whistleblower / troublemaker.

I found it helpful to force stop the app whenever I'm not actively using it.
The merits of these claims aside, one thing that I've learned is that some of the people who make these claims do so not based on their merit, but because they hate the current status quo. They hate the USA, they hate the EU, they hate "the elites", "the media", etc etc. They hate western civilization, in a nutshell. Again, the merits aside, I think it's good to keep this point in mind.

As a side note, the most extreme of these people end up as cheerleaders for Russia and China, I guess because "the enemies of my enemies are my friends". You see them a lot online parroting their talking points; keep an eye on this thread and see them materialize.

> - in low-class places, the clientele is just trashy (think needles in the urinals or regular brawls levels of trashy). In higher-class places, the clientele is incredibly entitled. Think of "Karen complaining at Walmart" memes, make it 100x worse, and you get the expectations that customers have. Both can be incredibly exhausting.

You're going to get this in any place where you have to deal with the general public--not just in hospitality. One of the first things that surprises you when you work in service or retail is how many customers out there are either trashy, belligerent, crazy, entitled, or multiple of the above. They might not be that way on the outside, but as soon as they walk into a business and become The Customer, they transform.

Duh? Why do you think immigrants to Anglo countries named Giovanni or Juan or Janek, have, since forever, changed their names to John?

I'm not so sure, at least for some of the AR stuff we're working on - most people we're testing with still point-and-aim their phones vertically, even when consuming 360 degree videos. Headsets will make another huge change of course, if they become mainstream.
I feel like this is especially important for game consoles. The 3DS store is on its way to being shut down and with it a set of digital-only games will be effectively unplayable for most people going forward. It feels correct to me that if the creator of the platform kills off the only way to pay the creators for the games you should be able to install alternate firmware and play them for free.
Nightmares are a thing. This can get particularly bad if you relive traumatic events.

I'm not a cook but the professional kitchen at a casino where I worked was daily drama fest. Knife fights, needles strewn in the outside smoking area, disappearing cook (had an abusive girlfriend), the mashed-potato controversy. Even after staff left and new arrived it was the same thing. My guess it was the heat, long hours, time constraints to get food out and perfect. Most people would react that way.
The author brings up Fossil's server capabilities when comparing to Git, but I think it would be more apt to compare those to something like Gitea
The next big thing will be semantic code versioning. I.e. a tool that understands language syntax and can track when a symbol is changed.

There are already experiments in this area[1], but I don't think any are ready for mass adoption yet.

The fact that it's 2022 and we're still working with red/green line-based diffs is absurd. Our tools should be smarter and we shouldn't have to handhold them as much as we do with Git. It wouldn't surprise me if the next big VCS used ML to track code changes and resolve conflicts. I personally can't wait.

Maybe the zealots actually bring up this point as well... To me a high end computer looks wasteful because it was recently built and caused another computer to hit the landfill (usually).

It would be more efficient to replace a computer on a 5 or 10 year cycle rather than a 1 or 2 year cycle, but then you'd have a high end computer for a much lower percentage of the time.

How many interviews did you have? I've been taking a break from work for the past few months but will need to start looking again soon.

A few years ago a friend of mine did over 100 *interviews* before finding a job. She presented a talk about her experience https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzz5AaCWMps and blogged about it as well https://medium.com/codebuddies/my-adventures-in-job-searchin...
Unions. Collective organizing provides for power to push back against workism and those who make their work their identity.

Without doing so, corporations and capitalism will squeeze workers until there’s nothing left, for the benefit of the shareholders.
That 0.01 matters to them. A few years ago most gas stations had replaced those electronic price displays to show 3 digits after comma: the subtle scam of 3.99 prices cost them a cent, which adds up, and now it costs them only 0.1 cent.
This is a fight that OS makers need to be in on. Apple added the concept of time critical notifications. It is or should be a tos violation if an app falsely labels spam as time critical.
I haven’t used boot licker directly before. You can be superficially technically polite as you are doing without actually being kind. As can be seen with all the back handed compliments you keep using. I find that more arrogant than me being irked at the casting of an entire disenfranchised population in a negative light and breaking the name calling rule in a comment. You’re right I should not have done that.

Your usage of race is not cool to me either. You believe people have a lot more free will and power than I do. We both think we are right. You said you’re a liberal. I am not. I get that your political world view means believing the average person has a lot more agency than they do.

It is weird to follow someone’s profile to tattle on them and imply they should hopefully get unnerved by that.

I did read your whole comment.
