You can't argue a position by linking to a Wikipedia article about a logical fallacy.

It cannot be unethical to rely on a freely given promise that the other side has derived substantial value from.

Red Hat received the entire basis of their business by virtue of their side of that promise they cannot and indeed haven't tried to withhold performance of their obligation in that regard.

Under what ethical theory do you propose that creating downstream distros is unethical? Is it likewise unethical for Ubuntu to exist? If your answer differs why?

Yep. The Russians are posting the same kind of thing for their populations to consume. I fully believe neither.

Here is what I do know. As of last week less then 5,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed so far in the campaign. Contrast that with the US did during Iraq, or even in Raqqa. Was that genocide? No, it was just we didn't care. Which is pretty disturbing especially now as we try to proclaim moral high ground and talk about atrocities.

This is not genocide either and false flags and exaggerations abound on all sides.

Edit: responding to the comment below because I'm obviously on a time out at this point:

`As delivered by Ambassador Michael Carpenter`

This is a guy, with a strategic national interest, who addressed the org you are talking about with some claims. Not an series of independently verified facts.

Have bad things happened? Yes. It's a war. Have Russian soldiers done some bad things? Almost certainly. Is there widespread or systemic murder of civilians and rape by Russian troops? No, that is not happening. And it makes sense as it would be counterproductive to Russia's aims.

In short. Unadulterated bullshit.
I'm not sure that claim is true. Take this experiment, where A sends B a message following two paths:

/-->--B (/ and \ are mirrors)
| |
| |
\--<--A

with speeds: (assume lengths are all 1m)

/--cr--B
| |
cu cu
| |
\--cl--A

The time it takes for path 1 (left,up,right) is cl+cu+cr. The time it takes for path 2 is cu. B can measure the difference cl+cu+cr-cu = cl+cr. A can compare cl+cr to cu: if cl+cr != 2cu the velocity is not isotropic. To see that's always possible, A and B can simply bounce back path 2, so B receives pulses every 2cu (and hence can measure and compare to other time intervals).

Directional speed of light would be very weird, I think it'd show up everywhere in experiments if it weren't true.

---

Also, I think there's a notable distinction in physics: they are usually called postulates to distinguish from axioms. A postulate is an assumption about a physical theory (usually something simple and "beautiful" -- mathematically neat and satisfying Occam's razor); if a theory doesn't match reality, one of its postulates is incorrect. An axiom in mathematics of course can't be proven wrong. Because axioms are the basis for your mathematical theory describing reality, they can't be incorrect (as long as they form a mathematically consistent theory); the most could happen is they're insufficient to describe reality (you need other axioms and another mathematical theory), but they're not (somewhat) falsifiable in the sense of physical postulates.

> Diesel trains are not as powerful as steam trains of yore were, but diesel locomotives are so much cheaper to build and maintain that you can run 3-4 of them at a time and still save money.

Am I missing something? It looks like hundreds of diesel-electric locomotives are more powerful than the most powerful steam engines ever made.

I went to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_locomotives then sorted by tractive effort/force and looked for the most powerful diesel and most powerful steam.

EMD SD70ACe-T4 - diesel-electric - 200,000 pounds-force (890 kN) starting, 175,000 pounds-force (778 kN) continuous - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_SD90MAC (478 built)

GE AC6000CW - diesel-electric - 188,000 pounds-force (836 kN) starting; 166,000 pounds-force (738 kN) continuous - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_AC6000CW (317 built)

by comparison:

Erie Class P-1 - steam - 176,256 pounds-force (784 kN) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triplex_locomotive (10 built) ("high tractive effort, but low speed, about 10 mph, over short distances" .. "the Triplexes produced huge amounts of tractive effort (TE) that may have been the highest of any steam locomotives before or since").

XA Triplex - steam - 166,600 pounds-force (741 kN) compound - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-8-8-8-4 (1 built) ("unable to sustain a speed greater than five miles an hour, since the six cylinders could easily consume more steam than the boiler could produce")

Power isn't the only factor. Steam engines produce the most power when just starting, which helps explain why the most power steam engines were also so slow.

(Something like the Union Pacific Big Boy had less tractive force, at 135,375 lbf, much higher speeds, topping out at 80mph. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Pacific_Big_Boy)

Going back to your thesis, in researching this I came across the Kaufman Act, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaufman_Act , which banned steam engines in New York city due to pollution problems. Originally it required electric propulsion, but was amended to allow diesel when that proved viable, and that in turn provided a stepping stone toward dieselization of US trains.

Diesel trains are not worse polluters than steam, so your thesis doesn't really seem applicable.
Them falling out of favor has nothing to do with nanite FYI, and you would not want to use GS for any of the benefits a tech like nanite gives you because it's far too slow. We've all moved to CS for that sort of things if you can't rely on AS/MS
Right. The more informative part is:

“This is the first time we have forecast 40°C in the UK. The current record high temperature in the UK is 38.7°C, which was reached at Cambridge Botanic Garden on 25 July in 2019. […] Some models are now producing a 50% chance of maximum temperatures in excess of 40°C in isolated parts of the UK for the start of next week. Mid, to high, 30s Celsius will be seen more widely with an 80% chance we will exceed the current record.”
One Good Engineer Is Better Than Three Normal Ones
Hello,

Why do companies prefer to pay $150,000 each to three normal engineers, when they could pay $450,000 to one good one?

I suspect it is because these companies want to boast about their total number of employees. Perhaps also they are stuck in the mindset of the 1980s factory worker management model where all humans are only capable of operating at the same average speed and error rate.

My assertion is that good engineers can be identified through a proper interview process and enticed with an adequate salary.

If you only hire engineers with average motivation, average speed, and average error rates, the fate of your company will be worse than if you never bothered trying-- money spent, results not delivered.
> RAID0 is for speed only

In this case, the theoretical maximum bandwidth is 24MBit/s.

The problem is the old, slow usb bottleneck. I'm not sure how much faster, probably hundreds of bps rather than under 24, but a faster RAID0 rig would be to instead have 30x Mac G4 Digital Audios connected via gigabit switch, and share then RAID0 the internal floppies. It would also have whatever advantage running an XGrid PPC cluster on Tiger might provide. These boxes also ran PPC Ubuntu; no doubt Linux would eek out a dozen or so more bps, plus beowulf.
Like Rust, C defines what happens if you don't have its rich standard runtime, you get "free standing" C.

C's free standing mode is even thinner than Rust's core, because it doesn't supply a library of code, you just get the primitive types, the operators and the language features that don't involve any libraries. To give a very concrete example, Rust's core depends on memcmp() existing, Rust assumes your toolchain knows how to memcmp() on your target architecture inherently, but in C you could write memcmp() if you had to. You won't these days, because your C compiler invariably provides this feature, but in principle you could.

In principle C++ also defines a "free standing" mode, but it's a mess and so people don't write for C++ free standing mode in the real world. C++ in an environment where you can't have the actual standard library is likely to be specified in terms of which features from the standard library you can have and which you cannot, for each such environment. For example maybe you can have threading but no filesystem APIs, or you can have a heap allocator but no threads.
It's nearly irrelevant, given that I can gzip JSON and send it to literally anything built in the last 10+ years. It's so ubiquitous now that many web servers will just accept gzipped content without even exposing that fact to the back end servers. You can get all the benefits of highly compressed JSON and never have interacted with gzip.

If it could somehow produce a significant reduction with fewer CPU cycles, there may be a really niche use case, but I don't see those often.

The downside is that the "revisit the failure modes" step never happens.

I'd actually advocate for potatoes as a "weight loss food".

I've also run into this. It can quite literally feel like I'm walking on eggshells. And it's not because I'm deeply racist or misogynistic (at least I think I'm not and I sure hope I'm not), but I literally just cannot voice any of my concern or dissent for any of my company's politically motivated initiatives. I would prefer my workplace to be devoid of political topics, and focused on meeting the business objectives, but that's not the reality.

So I agree. I also treat strong D&I initiatives as a red flag. I don't care what people's race, ethnicity, gender, or ideologies are. If you can do your job well and be a generally (we all have bad days) pleasant coworker, then awesome. If you act like a jerk, that's just acting like a jerk regardless of any immutable characteristics.

There totally was. Facebook had been running CentOS long before Stream, and had several RPM backports to CentOS 7 on GitHub. And guess what, they love CentOS Stream. The default desktop distros for Facebook developers are Fedora and Stream.

Honestly if all you know about CentOS is "download ISOs and report bugs that with some luck will be forwarded to RH Bugzilla", you don't know anything about the CentOS community.

Again: downloading ISOs doesn't make you part of a community.

TLDR: democracy is rule by the people, unless the people choose poorly or refuse to accept what is Obviously Good and Right.

Your ideas are bad and naive, and because you seem to be disavowing my natural right to refuse to participate in this poorly thought out ideological regime which you would have rule the world, you are also proposing tyranny.

I don't accept that your idea of what "bad" is, is anything other than "stuff I personally don't like," only you have not examined your beliefs enough to realize that. In my view, you are unreasonably optimistic about the prospects for success for any of what you described, and I assume it's because you are unaware of, or view unrealistically, the history of these and related ideas.
I would have made it clear that I'd rather not be inconvenienced, and I would also find it insulting that my identity was in question given the publicizing I've done, the publication of my work, how I feel about the quality of my work for said clients and the existing positive relationships with the clients.
Irrelevant to the content of the article, but worth pointing out that this project is funded by the proceeds of crimes committed at Drexel Burnham in the 80s.

Maybe it doesn't matter if you do good for the wrong reasons though.
If Thinker Appeals to Big Audience, They Maybe Not Representative of Their Field
The problem with D&I initiatives is that, ironically, they end up spearheaded by extremely privileged people. Those people usually have one (or MAYBE 2) main axis/axes of marginalization (see: upper-middle class/well off white trans women, rich straight POC, etc.). They then proceed to speak for every member of group X and/or declare that their problems are the only ones that matter.

The other problem is that such initiatives are naturally going to tend towards rewarding/biasing towards visible and apparent differences. (Which is why race, sex, and gender take so much center stage). "Diversity" basically only means 'diversity we can see'/skindeep diversity.
The pi pico w has the huge issue of not integrating it all into a small module/chip. You can (at least right now) only buy the whole pi pico w for integration into a project, so anything remotely size constrained will not be able to use it.

Part of what makes esphome/tasmota/... so attractive is reusing existing devices with an esp inside. These won't exist for the pico w.

I think the enthusiast IoT space will continue to primarily use esp32/esp8266 devices.

If the Pi foundation offers a small module akin to the esp8266/esp32 modules, that might change.

I've been in situations like this. In SF. I grew up here.

What you describe is the classic west coast non-confrontationalism. You're probably annoying enough that it's simply not worth it to counter anything you say because you just dive into a petty and self-aggrandizing argumentative mode.

Brash and confused conservatives think everyone agrees with them, but in reality people don't want to get caught up in absolute bullshit by joining any kind of interaction with them. This is a common pattern by now. You would do well to recognize it.

Indeed. The weather in San Diego along the coast is amazing (lows in high teens, highs in the high twenties).

But go 10 miles inland and it’s a desert where 30C+ is typical for a good part of the year.
Good point!
Simplified (trying to explain to myself), if light travelled slower in one direction than others, some objects would be less far away from us and each other and thus their gravitational effects would be different.

Basically, our cosmological horizon would be significantly closer in one direction than others - and all objects (= mass) in that direction would be as well.

There might be a very specific way in which matter could be distributed so that this is actually true but indistinguishable from uniform light speed in all directions,
from our specific point of view. But I'd expect the effects to be noticeably different even within a fairly limited time range (decades, perhaps centuries).
Sean rules and this may be his craziest experiment yet. That’s all.

How does sending weapons to a country encourage another country to attack it? Wouldn't it decrease the chances they attacked it - since it is fairly clear that the Ukraine could not invade Russia.

As opposed to reptilian Americans? I'm just joking, I assume this is a typo but I can't figure out what it is meant to be.

Do Americans actually want peace between the Ukraine and Russia(if it would just mean acceding to Russia's demands)? Granted I live in a fairly liberal area, but I see blue and yellow flags all over the place right now.
