I don't think any of this is impossible to change. There was just a Labor Notes conference this weekend where thousands of people pushing for more democratic and rank and file run unions showed up. And examples like the ALU show that going through existing unions isn't the only way possible. And beyond that, even organizing with a major union can still give you a local you have power over - workers at the the times tech guild, amazon, kickstarter, etc have all organized with existing larger unions, and are starting to see more control over their conditions, more rights, and more respect already.

And I disagree that job protections would "hinder some of the innovation" happening -- if anything, more comfortable and safe employees are more free to innovate. I think it would just hinder employers giving us impossible deadlines to do underspecified or ill-specified things to tick some useless checkbox, or to deliver a feature they already sold without it having been written yet.

from the article:

> A company like Mapbox hadn’t ever unionized before, so it seemed like an exciting experiment

Regardless of one's views on unionization, in this scenario as an underdog competing with 2 multi-trillion dollar companies in the space (Apple and Google), this "exiting experiment" reasoning seems especially reckless, irresponsible, and naive.

IMO, at such a small company like mapbox, it's akin to mutiny.
Perfect-Privacy still has integrity left.

Someone hacked into their Malmoe server a year ago or so, and found that they indeed run everything in RAM disks and aren't logging at all. Happened via the management interface.
But please take this information with a grain of salt, as the write up for this exploitation has been vanished from the internet (or I am just unable to find it). *

However, there are still articles about how they've been raided multiple times [1][2][3] in the past, and the police never found any logs.

* Also, I believe that this kind of pwnage could've happened to every VPN provider. Always use VPN chains with multiple locations and always keep in mind that your VPN could have been compromised. Don't just rely on a single hoster which just shifts the liability from your ISP to another single point of failure. But this is probably still better than LE just having to call comcast. :)

Edit: ovpn.to is probably worth taking a look too. I remember that the admin grows cannabis in his basement (still illegal in Germany) and provides all users with access to warez via Usenet NNTP. Do with that info what you want.

Ok, now what are the downstream effects?
The linked article practically goes out of its way to obscure how much this work is incrementally building on Linux’s existing paging design versus designing their own solution. Sure there’s a couple places that mention Linux defaults don’t work for them, but it isn’t all that clear how difficult it was to change things
Even if you believe companies should not be democracies, and should be autocracies, what if there's incompetent autocrats at the top who are objectively hurting the company? Should the average employee rollover and pray that the board raises a fuss? What if management holds the majority shares?

It is completely baffling that people who otherwise decry the government as a pack of dictatorial bureaucrats turn a blind eye when corporations internally act the same way, complete with lavish amounts of wasteful spending.
People decry the energy wastage brought about by the Crypto Mining, rampant invasion of privacy & trust by mega corporations, ubiquitous presence of misinformation and vitriol in social media, mismanagement of e-waste, global climate change and the impending doom upon the entire human civilization, and a thousand things more, and yet find this article condescending.

This is not to say that I agree entirely with it either but, I find myself empathizing with the author at some level. If nothing more, it's a fun mental exercise to imagine what life today would be like had there been no personal computing.
>The problem I have with the incessant Jira bitching is that I rarely feel that bitchers have a true understanding for the extreme difficulty of the organization-wide problem Jira is trying to solve.

Target market. Is MacOS a viable target market for Fortnite? Even if you do wish to play competitive games on MacOS... Using the same hardware, the performance has been shown to be worse, in every comparison I've been able to find.

While I think this discussion is moot, as you're claiming this is a reason to start charging for IAP in MacOS apps and Epic has decided not to release new Fortnite seasons on MacOS, because of their beef on iOS, you're also talking about a specialized and high profile game, where most IAP are targetted at mobile specific games. Just look at the backlash that Diablo Immortal is receiving right now. Non-mobile gamers complete reject the style of monetization in mobile games.

Again, is this something you actually believe is true? Apple execs are looking to monetize their desktop OS as a mobile OS? Microsoft is already very carefully trying to do this and it's being pretty unsuccessful. There's a lot of rejection for this aspect of Windows 11. Remains to be seen where it's going to be in 5 years, but for now, I don't think this is where desktop OS's are going.

Back to the real meat of the article, Apple is both doing it's customers a service and a disservice at the same time. What is the solution to that? Let 3rd party app stores on, so that we can go back to no protection against tracking and a store full of garbage? (looking at you, Google Play)

> Exactly where in that schedule am I supposed to fit a FOUR HOUR coding assignment. That's ridiculous. Unless you're providing child care, this is simply too much.

What do you do for normal on-site interviews or phone interviews that have similar time demands?

I’m also a parent of small children with a packed schedule, but I’d much rather take a 4-hour take home and handle it on the weekend or when I’m flexible. Giving up half or whole days of PTO to interview in real-time is actually worse for my overall schedule, not better, because I need that PTO more than ever as a parent of young kids.

The flexibility of take-homes is great as a parent.
You create a new account here to post your newly created "blog" with this attack on V 0.2 (a pre 1.0 language which you forget to mention) which is mostly based on some type checker bugs (that could've been reported in fixed within a week) and nonsense like "setting array length on creation is a terrible idea". (Go with its `make([]int, 5)` must be a terrible scam language as well.)

And you have the audacity to call the V community dysfunctional.
Most people won't even read that and if you open a file instead of just typing vim you won't even see the message. Changing an icon is quite a bit different since you have to click the icon to open the app. As far as I know Vim hasn't changed the gVim icon to Uganda's colors.

> Spotify has an HR shadowban procedure

Not sure about Sweden (where I assume this situation took place), but it’s common in the US to have “Ineligible for rehire” flags that can be placed place on a terminated employee’s file that effectively blacklists the employee from working for the company again.

I can envision a situation where a person is terminated, another manager sought to hire the termed employee and HR stops the process because they employee doesn’t have rehire eligibility.

Prospective future employers of the employee can contact the other companies the employee worked for and most HR departments will confirm employment, confirm salary, confirm hire/end dates, and will confirm rehire eligibility status.

It’s why it’s really important to try and avoid getting termed for cause in the US…while it’s not a “blacklist”, it certainly can follow you.
No, the crime is climbing the ladder. LVT isn't levied on political interference, it's levied on land.

The pain is all felt by people that lived in an area when it really wasn't appealing, the people who would have been sufficiently proud of how that area's changes to turn down the carrot of life changing financial offers until LVT beats them with the stick of No, Really, You're Too Poor To Live Here

The wealthier, whiter sort of person that actively looks for $2m houses gets upsides as well as downsides, especially if they actually want to live in an area where only people who can overcome the stumbling block of high incomes can afford.

He, uh, says that he writes "with a pencil or a pen and a piece of paper". Not a typewriter. I'm not saying he's right, but I don't think he's fooling himself. I think his response at the bottom makes that clear:

Surprised not to see Apple's Hide My Email mentioned. I was moving towards using my_email+short_company_name@my_domain when it was released.

I found problems with the + syntax occasionally, where I could sign up with that address but wasn't able to log in because their code stripped the + or the + and anything after that.

Now I do 3 levels:

1) use Hide My Email with most companies

2) use me@my_domain with people I want to talk to

3) use my gmail address with Advanced Protection for really important things.

I was going to use my_domain for really important things but it has 2 attack surfaces (registrar and Apple (I use their MX service)) whereas Gmail only has one. And there was an old (2014) article [0] here posted recently about how someone lost their Instagram handle because somebody social engineered GoDaddy into giving the attacker control of the person's domain.

I would say take what most 'financially savvy' people say with a grain of salt and go ahead and do your own research or find an actual professional to sort through the details. The average lifespan of a company on the S&P 500 is dropping fairly quickly, which puts the risk of a single investment going to 0(or on a long haul downward trend) higher.
I think jokes in general seem to land with audience based on the accuracy of the topic being made fun of.

I think that's what allows some people to make jokes Md others not. For example I think the Dave Chappelle stuff isn't landing very well, because he doesn't seem to understand the topic of being transgendered.

By contrast any of Rowan Atkinson's work making fun of the British elite seems so accurate and still able to find the humor and contradictions.

Take a look at 'just' almonds. Almonds are a "non-native" plant that came from the Mediterranean.

Some 1.6 million acres of almond trees in California. That produces just about 2.8 billion pounds of almonds. It takes around 1900 GALLONS of water to grow one pound of almonds. That works out to about 16 million acre feet of water per year. More than is used by people in Los Angeles.

When you take into account all the new things that they keep making out of almonds, everything from "milk" (I prefer the term nut juice) to cleaning supplies (specifically the shells are used in soaps, cutting back on water intense farm products during a 2 decade draught, rather than continuing to expand, makes sense

It's not that hard to find boarded up apartment buildings in LA, at least.

Motels were used for homeless housing during Covid, seemed like a good start.

They're already housing-of-last resort options for people, and they're already constructed. Don't hold affordable housing to higher standards than low-end-of-the-market homes or apartments, or you're just going to leave the bottom of the market with even fewer options.

Let market rate construction be the new construction - which has less red tape around qualifying for incentives and government funding, etc - and shore up the quality and quantity of the bottom end with government action. You'll be adding more units than you are today, which is the most important thing here.
Pretty sure this still comes down to developing on Windows vs an OS that has nix internals. WSL is no substitute (yet). If I get anything that's not Apple, I have to use Linux and now I have a completely different set of problems. Even in the MacOS flavor of nix, most things "just work". Linux leaves you with a bevy of choices to be made, most of which I don't know the real effects of and then I have to deal with maintenance on my own.
Because if it was made from fermented malt and hops we would call it beer?

Wine is made from fermented grapes by definition.

Same as mead is made from fermented honey, kumiss is made from fermented mares' milk, kvass is made from fermented bread, and cider is made from fermented apples.

Wine made with other produce does exist: You can buy cherry wine and blueberry wine. But the market for them is tiny. They’re seen as a novelty and not taken seriously within the industry. - Being classed as 'novelties', we don't (yet) have standard definitions for those alcoholic drinks made from blueberries, etc. So we tack the word 'wine' on as a temporary fix.

I propose that henceforth cherry wine be defined as "Blush", and blueberry wine be defined as "Blurg".

"Have a glass of blush". "No I prefer to drink blurg".
If “education” is considered a “positional good” then it’s not an “education” in the sense I meant it above and in the sense that it’s meant when considering societal wellbeing.

To see it that way you’d either have to have too little or too much of it. I doubt you’ve had so little education that you see no real value in it. So I guess you’ve been privileged with so much of it that the marginal cost of more education for you doesn’t provide any further value. Fair enough - for you.

Education in the normal sense of the word is valuable in itself, regardless of the value other people place in it. If that’s not your experience you’re very much doing it wrong and should stop.
Yes, and I agree that you can see those actions as being contrary to my proposed scenario. I sort of see them as evidence in the other direction, but it's good to hear it said out loud. Makes good food for thought.

These things have controller boards with miniscule amounts of RAM in them, and they use the same firmware across all models. When a new model with more RAM is released, they add more features, causing all older models that self update to start swapping to the pagefile.

> Floppies were ubiquitous in the 90s, but try reading one now - it's not impossible, but you'll probably have to find some service to help you do that since it's not likely that you've had a floppy drive for close to 20 years.

This is a bit rose-tinted. You can pick from a huge variety of floppy drive readers available on amazon, most for less than 20 bucks.

Additionally -

>As an example, I'd like to get an e-reader that would be usable in 20+ years. But that doesn't seem likely.

I have a kindle gen 2, purchased basically as soon as that model was released in jan 2009 (I actually ordered a gen 1 and amazon bumped me to gen 2 when it was announced). It's still going strong. My guess is that basically any kindle will go about 20 years as long as you take care of it. Battery life degrades a good bit, but even at only 20% of the original capacity, the thing still goes 3 days without a charge - used to be a month, but three days is enough.
This seems like a very strange fetishization of Japan.

Even without the historical evidence, the slogan seems an unlikely coinage without the existing idiom (surely "when it rains, Morton pours" would be more likely), and I don't know how you'd get from the marketing slogan to an idiom about misfortune.

It's a shame. Stories like this are fascinating when they turn out to be true. Like how "bucket list" entered the American vernacular so quickly and thoroughly that there are many people who believe the movie was named after a preexisting common phrase.
I think that's a little naive. He's more of an entertainer making money with sponsorships than a reviewer telling hard truths.

You forgot what drives every good for consumer thing a company does: competition.

Of course, the first commenter "willy" repeats the canard that statelessness makes no sense:

> The very notion of a stateless filesystem is ridiculous. Filesystems exist to store state.

It's the protocol that's stateless, not the filesystem. I thought the article made a reasonable attempt to explain that.

Overall the article is reasonable but it omits one of the big issues with NFSv2, which is synchronous writes. Those Sun NFS implementations were based on Sun's RPC system; the server was required not to reply until the write had been committed to stable storage. There was a mount option to disable this, but if you enabled it, it exposed you to data corruption. Certain vendors (SGI, if I recall correctly) at some point claimed their NFS was faster than Sun's, but it implemented asynchronous writes. This resulted in the expected arguments over protocol compliance and reliability vs. performance.

This phenomenon led to various hardware "NFS accelerator" solutions that put an NVRAM write cache in front of the disk in order to speed up synchronous writes. I believe Legato and the still-existing NetApp were based on such technology. Eventually the synchronous writes issue was resolved, possibly by NFSv3, though the details escape me.
