You keep mixing things up. The topic is the viability of high touch GMail support, not support for Google's home-grown devices.
What a shame that you're taking something beloved and nostalgic and turning it into yet another rent-seeking crypto project.

https://neocities.org/ has been around for years, is the same exact concept and doesn't come with any crypto-related baggage.
There are a couple aspects that are interesting. With Optane, there is still a distinction between persistent and volatile primary storage - you don't want things that change quickly to be on persistent memory because it'll be slower to update and wear down the device. What you gain is fast memory addressable persistent storage.

As for rebooting not being a thing, the IBM AS/400 and its offspring (currently named IBM i) have been doing it for decades now. They are very alien when compared to Unix, but still quite cool. And extraordinarily mainframe-like reliable.

There's a reason they cost a small fortune.
Just as a point of order, volcanic eruptions are responsible for a great deal of the fossils we actually have.

Pompeii is too new for actual fossilization to have occurred, naturally, but it clearly shows why eruption is so good for the fossil record: that, flash floods, and tar pits, are the three best ways to envelop a corpse before it's devoured.

"Not liking" and "having a pathological dislike" are a little different. If it were the Pope or Bill Gates or somebody else that wasn't Trump, the reaction would be regarded as eccentric at least, like Hunter S. Thompson training his dog to attack upon mention of Nixon.

Of these, most require phone number and/or real identity. TikTok doesn't. I can watch videos without logging in. It doesn't even ban me for using a VPN. So I reckon it's better for privacy.
One thing that’s worked for me is going old fashioned and getting my news in a daily 20-minute news video recap, not unlike the “old days” of watching the evening nightly newscast of your choice. These are often on YouTube nowadays, so you don’t even need a set schedule. I’ve done this with a Spanish language daily newscast (mainly to keep my Spanish sharp), and, unless there is something going on that requires my further investigation, I’m made aware of the big stories that any informed person should probably be aware of, and then can go about my day being productive. Only a 20 minute sacrifice. Just an idea if you feel you’ve let news improperly invade your time!
The trouble with Itanium was that memory latency is a limiting factor. A CPU knows what is in the cache but the compiler doesn’t. In fact, a major use of parallelism in CPUs is to hide latency and that involves a flexibility of scheduling greater than bundling groups of instructions together. (Think of 3 instructions hanging because 1 needs to load something as opposed to a system which might be able to barrel on and run a few non-dependent instructions.)
I remember you could somewhere (Regular settings? Or perhaps some hidden registry-tweak?) turn off the automatic memory allocation, so I moved as much software and documents as possible to the internal flash storage (still relatively tiny) respectively an external memory card and then moved the slider fully over to the left in order to have as much program memory as possible.
> Lack of standard is a heavy issue and there are many ways of doing the same.

I'd partially blame the software as well. You can't standardise what doesn't want to follow standards. A lot of software or their developers work against the Nix model, some do so actively. The most visible example is the XDG-BD standard (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory), but there are a bunch of other things like that which make packaging difficult.
We're not about to run out of Uranium, we've got tons of it just sitting around, waiting to be reprocessed. We also don't have to drill down 10 miles, then turn sideways to find more of it.

Nuclear just needs the fuel cycle to be closed again, as it was originally intended to be. The technology is known, and well proven, we just need to deploy it.
The acute in Spanish is a stress marker is it not, therefore (to this non-expert anyway) it makes more sense to treat the accented and unaccented vowels the same for collation purposes than would be the case for languages where the diacritic denotes a different phoneme. That said, I don't know enough Spanish to know whether the acute ever distinguishes separate words, which would perhaps weaken that argument.

The grave in Italian serves the same purpose AFAIK so would be interesting to compare the rules for that language.
Biden didn’t have much to do with this.

It was the fed QE and 0% interest that lasted way too long.
It amazes me how many software products launch these days without an about page.

Why would anyone buy into a new product if they don’t know at least a little bit about who is behind it?

It should be the most important page on the site behind maybe the pricing and contact/support page.
Don't get me wrong, two pages might be optimal if you have lots of varied experience. I wasn't trying to make a case for one page only. It really depends on what you want to convey to interviewers.
How Amazon Become Ordinary
Thanks for the comment. What area of OneDev UI you feel is unpolished?
I personally live in a country where it's hard to get any small thing easily online: I'd probably have to order it online from USA, UK or Germany, get it processed by customs and then hope it'd work well. To reduce the costs of trying out more than one item, I'd probably order a few different ones so the shipping costs and customs costs are contained. Which means that I'd be spending $150+ on a screen protector that might not work.

Or I could just look for a laptop that has an anti-glare screen ;-) And a good keyboard.

Too bad new AMD-based Thinkpad Z series do away with a bunch of the good things from X1 Carbon (soft-touch palmrests for one), or I'd seriously consider them to be able to drop my desktop entirely (Intel iGPUs struggle to do full screen video calls on 4k external screens under Linux, I am _hoping_ AMD 680M would do a better job).
>Meritocracy does not exist, has never existed and arguably it is good that it doesn't.

This is something meritless people say. For those of us who have been working hard our entire lives to be REALLY good at something, we know that merit absolutely makes a huge difference to the value we bring to our jobs, and that value is usually recognised.

This isn't to say that society is based entirely on merit. Far from it - though some more than others. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't strive for merit; that we shouldn't seek to fill jobs on the basis of merit. Just because something is hard doesn't mean it isn't worth it.

Finally, I would argue against the claim that "every study on it shows increased economic output." There are all kinds of studies on diversity, and they point in many directions. A popular topic is women in senior leadership. [There is no clear evidence that this leads to better performance.](https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2696804) I think it more likely that economic performance has everything to do with ability and nothing to do with skin colour or genital configuration.
Optane is either the fastest SSD or the slowest RAM. If it is doing the job of RAM it might hurt performance, not help it. It’s not clear adding another level to the cache is really going to help.
What about Julia? It's as readable as Python. Julia is arguably easier than Python in some programming aspects. Both languages can be complicated in more advanced scenarios, but both languages tout an easy start for quick scripts.

While Wash U was a contributor, I am confused about why you call it the home of the Human Genome Project. The Project seems a lot more strongly linked to the Whitehead/MIT in terms of press and the site of key figures.
> or worked on extending e.g. the Linux kernel in that direction.

Iirc Intel was the biggest code contributor for 2021 to the kernel. So they already have the expertise.

Running code from Optane would likely be a mistake, though. Jumps would be very expensive due to the extra latency (unless they hit the cache). Perhaps it can work with page swaps but still.
A larger talent pool isn't always better.
I recall no one really loving geocities but it was there. Looking back, it’s endearing given how user generated content became such a big thing. I feel the same about live journal which came a bit later iirc.
Indeed. Sometimes the "build it and they'll come" doesn't work at all.

It Itanium had excellent Linux support on day one it could have been a different story.

To this day I complain loudly IBM has no entry-level desktop/deskside POWER machines that are appealing to people who would buy a generic x86 workstation. If all they have is hardware for current clients to upgrade to, the platform becomes legacy pretty quickly.

I will go as far as saying ARM servers would never have happened were it not for pioneering stuff like the Raspberry Pi and other small hobbyist boards that served as an entry level and proved ARM was viable as a Linux host.
That's what I said. I said "the Romans did not use fossil fuels but they used charcoal (which has it's own problems).
Coding as a greybeard
Interviewed Erik van Eykelen of releasewise.com, a (then) 51-year-old programmer and founder who had some interesting things to say about growing older in tech.

"I'm 51 and I've been active in this industry since I was 14. I watched it grow from computers with 4k of memory to having a supercomputer in my pocket. I was learning in the age of Apple II and the Commodore PET. When I realized that I could create an explosion of data with just a few lines of code, I was hooked forever. It was such a magical thing. I found some other guys in my high school that were also into computers and we started meeting regularly on Fridays and Saturdays to... Well, to do some things that were, perhaps, not allowed. Since then, I've started three companies, and I don't think I could have found the same satisfaction in any other industry. I am mindful, these days, that I'm 51 because I know ageism is a thing in tech. There's a moment when you walk into a room and people think, 'Oh, he's a greybeard.' I don't have a beard, but you know what I mean. But when I start to talk about things and find solutions, that disappears. I can't change my age but I am in full control over what I do and what I read and how much time I carve out to write code. I can still see myself doing this when I'm 60, 70 years old. Even older. Because I want to keep doing meaningful things."
I think this is an excellent example of why trying to create KPIs based on diversity is asinine. People should be promoted and hired on the basis of ability. That's it.
> it's hard to argue with success: Jane Street earned $6.3bn in the first half of 2020, up more than 10x from the year before ($, FT).

It’s actually quite easy to argue with that. It’s 1 (or 2 at best) data points. 6.3bn is meaningless without knowing the capital put to work to achieve that. And finally if your 10x YoY it’s just as likely you had a bad year before as a good one this year.
It’s insane how many don’t realize this when it’s so obvious. Seen so many big shot c-levels wander in from Amazon, Microsoft and the like, institute some changes to make a mark and hit promises they made coming on, then leave 8 months or under 2 years later with the thing they were in charge of in disarray only for another to roll in and do the same.

Company I work at was almost ran into the ground until we fired all the c-levels for hire and empowered the top levels of individual contributors instead.
Googlers responded to a questionnaire back in March and complained about bureaucracy. I'm not sure how you avoid moving slow in a company with 170k people though.

Big tech went on a crazy hiring spree the last few years, and it's time to take breath and figure out how to best handle all the new people (the productivity demand). Typically this also means new hires need an increased level of justification, and they'll let natural attrition take down the headcount.
You're not alone. This submission showed me that I've interacted with some of the highest karma people on this site without even realizing it. I'd be lying if I said that didn't make me a little self-counscious.

Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) changed its chemicals at some point in the late 1990s, and a lot of customers found pinhole leaks starting in their copper pipes. Considering the relative density of lawyers in suburban Maryland, I suppose there must have been a lot of litigation, though I don't remember hearing.

On the other hand, I lived in a rowhouse built during a brief window in which it was OK with the code to run PVC from the main into the house. Whatever PVC is good for, it doesn't handle shearing force well. Essentially all of the townhouses needed repairs (a copper "pigtail" through the wall).
It's pretty clearly necessary to solve. And any kind of energy generation costs money. So I don't think that, unqualified, those are good reasons.
In terms of language design, absolutely.

Giving "free" choices to users just makes it more confusing. It's better to have one way of doing things than three that are kinda like the same but don't offer many advantages.

Optional for optional's sake doesn't help.
It's my sense that a more prosocial policy wouldn't put two stressed parents ..., and then know that them taking 8 months is the reason the other parent could take only 6 months.

People usually figure this out months in advance. Nobody I've talked to seemed to find divying parental leave particularly stressful. Maybe your experiences are different.

I still don't see what alternative you're proposing regarding parental leave other than having a fixed allocation.

I'd be open to less flexibility, mostly because it'd get more dads to take more than the current "minimum" of two months (leaving twelve months to the mom). I don't think that's a very popular (and politically viable) position, though.
I've taken all the tools and still had trouble, good to have a phone in case you need a ride home, maybe just an old Nokia or something would be fine.

Hangouts Chat has shamefully entered the conversation.
I find that the agonizing rarely bears as much fruit as doing.

In some cases we've deployed, found horrible problems that were completely unexpected and switched course.

Additional time spent agonizing would just have delayed getting us to the point where we learned those things. The critical information we needed to make that decision wasnt going to reveal itself with additional introspection.

This isnt to day when a dev waves a big red flag in the beginning you should ignore them, though (ever). But, I find that waving that red flag doesnt ever inhibit delivery speed whereas multiple people agonizing over decisions where the information to determine the "right" one usually does.
> If you can generate $50m of revenue by working 2 hours a day then you're brilliant at your job

Sure, but Google and other big tech have a completely different problem. Their one product makes so much money, that there is not a natural forcing function for other ventures to succeed or fail. This lets them take moonshots, but also makes it easy to slip into making bad investment decisions. For example, green-lighting a team to build another chat app.
I can guarantee you that it wasn't.
You should definitely request this feature via their customer support or similar. I've found small companies are often love hearing from their users and are quite responsive to these kind of requests.
Is there any value in Asahi Linux given GPU won't be likely supported for the next 10+ years (based on how long it took for regular Linux to get decent Nvidia and Radeon open source drivers and those didn't rely on any crypto chips)? It seems like a nice toy project without much value.
Do you think you could live with it alone? I am actually entertaining the idea of going without a phone all together.
This would be cool to take hiking and camping. I take a nice camera for photos.
CPU factories seem to cost hundreds of billions of dollars - beyond the capabilities of most nation-states. I wonder if this will cause a trend towards reducing requirements (e.g. pushing important infrastructure to rely on simpler chips) as keeping up with the technology will drain a country's resources.

From the 2022 Nix Survey's results:
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/2022-nix-survey-results/18983

The main pain points people identified:

- Getting started with Nix is hard.

- The documentation isn't great for getting started, for getting some task done, and is spread across many places.

- Debugging bad Nix code is hard.

- Contributing back to Nix is hard.

Despite the above, I think most of the respondents had just started using Nix within the last year or two.

I think some of the Summer of Nix effort is towards improving documentation. e.g. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/summer-of-nix-documentation-st...
I just don't follow your reasoning here. Is it your contention that a new experience deletes or diminishes previous experiences? Or that newly learnt knowledge diminishes that previously learnt?

Surely a new set of common experiences increases the diversity of thought of all the participants? Nothing's lost.
Do you have a source on the fact that this was done intentionally?

I only knew that cats go into hiding then they feel their end is near, that they do this on their own. Thus most "cat is missing" posters actually mean their cat died but kept it secret from its humans.

A) Too focused on a certain feature, and will lack some specific feature you need

B) Too broad and therefore too overcomplicated.

What happened to the good, old Minix, which many of us used in CS school, and which used to come on a CD, attached to the Andrew Tanenbaum's OS book?
Well, I don't see the offensive part here. As you say it yourself: "It might be overkill for many simple use-cases." Period. No need to jump into every thread where a user says that it is just too much for her use case, and you asking for links to compare the output (as you did with me as well?).
Just be happy with what you created and the showcases prove the demand for it. So?
