Maybe it would be better to promote and rally around a term that’s more specific? The best terms are the ones that naturally lead someone to the right conclusion, and are hard to make incorrect assumptions about. The main problem with trying to gate keep a generic term like “open source” is that it legitimately has multiple meanings, and the obvious and literal interpretation is the very one the author is complaining about. This is going to forever remain a fight against the tide, or a pee into the wind, or any number of other colorful well known phrases. It doesn’t take anything away from OSI to acknowledge their great work and also refer to OSI’s definition of open source specifically, when that is the one you mean.
You can think what you want about Stephen Diehl. But it should be pointed out that for all his criticisms of crypto, he is the co-founder and CTO of a blockchain company that explicitly competes with and has a vested interest in the failure of open source crypto projects like Ethereum.

All of which is fine. You're perfectly allowed to criticize your competitors. But what's extremely sketchy about Mr. Diehl, is that he virtually never discloses this conflict of interest in any of his crypto commentary. In fact he's gone to increasingly greater lengths to cover up his involvement with the blockchain industry as it gets pointed out.
Point being? This is pure whataboutism for no apparent reason other than pressing the "USA BAD" button.
Clarifying that's $61k per year per tent space. Crazy.
> I can’t help but wonder just how utterly compromised we all are, and won’t know it until many years down the line.

It's not hard to imagine.

USB-C 3.0+ cables all need chips inside them for negotiating USB-PD, among other things.

Imagine what could be done with an infected USB-C cable. Yes, of course, keyloggers are possible (that's been done plenty in the past with regular old USB-A 2.0), but think about one of USB-C's common applications: docking stations.

If you hooked up your laptop to a docking station with a malicious USB-C cable and you had ethernet, an external monitor, and a keyboard plugged into the dock, you would basically be giving an attacker a VNC session. It could scoop up everything you type, everything on your screen, and communicate via a connection that is entirely transparent to the OS.

At that point, your only hope is a firewall flagging the connection, otherwise you'll be completely oblivious to the ongoing surveillance. And it could compromise a network connection to insert a malicious payload into a file you're downloading, just to make the surveillance persistent when you're not plugged in.
The risk with any of these places is if your remote job becomes in person or the current market conditions change where employers can demand things like in person then you’re in a small market city with not very many tech jobs. The article didn’t comment on length of residence requirements.

Rochester area is a good place to raise a family. The toy museum has/had? a live arcade with tokens, at least years ago. Property taxes can be enormous though, like around $6-10k per year depending on the suburb, house size, etc. It can have brutal winters, like temps in single digits Fahrenheit as the high, without adding wind chill.
It's nice to get a pretty good, well thought out set of advice in one place that you can easily scan, bookmark and refer back to. I don't find video very good for that.
A bit unrelated but, I tried to search for this app on the AppStore. Typing "wordnote" returns it in the 30-40 results. This is despite the fact that there is no other app named wordnote or a derivative of that.
In addition to the other mentioned reasons, larger gauge wire is commonly terminated in blocks rather than at end points and likely won't be touched after initial installation, compared with branch circuits which will have their outlets or switches changed multiple times and often without professional assistance.

I love this word and its connotation! It's great.

IMO precision of task-focused manipulation over a quantity of time is a really important metric justifying workstations' existence. The hardware was typically focused on reducing time-based bottlenecks. But today a lot of the time bottlenecks are found in software and hardware interface.

To me this also implies that a workstation in hardware must be accompanied by workstation-class software, which ought to be considered it's own category of software. Workstations are best operated by a workstation operator who is trained in workstation psychology and what it is best at. That is, metric-reflective structured manipulation over time.

In the FOSS world I'd consider Blender even circa 2002 as really great example of workstation-class software for example.

IMO it would be interesting to see a workstation Linux distro which provides de facto workstation-type software plus additional workstation-type tooling to reinvigorate this niche.

The concept is currently more out of focus (or "blurred" as the article puts it) than it is obsolete, IMO. I'd guess most of today's office workers need better support for workstation-style work tasks than they currently get, at least a few times a week.

To me the ultimate workstation might also involve a method for tying together discrete software packages via sets of nodes or visual pipes. Kind of like an Eagle Mode for apps, in terms of navigation if not layout anyway. Right now far too much systems-logic strain is placed on the cognitive energies of the operator, and those are too variant to be reliably interesting for business...it's unfair to both operator and system. "Next you go over to App Y after exporting from App X and hit Import, then navigate using the file picker" could be far more easily metabolized as "drag a wire from App Y's output to App X's input".

Anyway! I love this stuff...

For information on this sort of thing the USGS mineral survey is an excellent source.

There's the general overview on copper [0], annual summaries, e.g [1] for 2022, and the more detailed "yearbook" [2] which it looks like is in the process of being updated since the last official release in 2017.

for example, [1] says this about "World Resources":

> A U.S. Geological Survey study of global copper deposits indicated that, as of 2015, identified resources contained 2.1 billion tons of copper, and undiscovered resources contained an estimated 3.5 billion tons.

Note that this article is careful not to outright say "there isn't enough copper", even if it heavily implies it. It says there aren't enough mines for future demand. And in the sense that more mines should be built in anticipation of that demand, it's correct. But the idea that a copper shortage will meaningfully delay electrification is ridiculous; even if there is a shortfall, all that will mean is that EVs will become slightly more expensive while other uses of copper move to substitutes and more mines are built. The economic incentives are too strong for anything else to happen.

My guess is you've read "What Doesn't Kill Us" and maybe Scott Carney's other book(s). I did a week long course in Poland - I can't say enough good about my experience, I'd do it again (and am planning on it).

I've not done weekend / afternoon type workshops. My guess is this is going to give you a bit more than what you've done on your own. Group breath work has a whole different flare to it (in a really good way, and I'm not an overly social person). So, it may just be an upsell into the longer courses, but I will tell you learning breath work in a group setting has an energy you don't get on your own. Plus you may pick up a few trips to help you hone in on control. Just my $0.02.
They say all it takes is not de-burring the pipe to create the turbulence.

We have a lot of problems in my county with copper pipes leaking. There are entire plumbing companies dedicated to finding the leaks and repairing them. There are still more companies dedicated to repiping.

I know of developments where they epoxy coated all the piping because they were getting so many leaks.

You can read about the huge class action lawsuits going on involving the local water utility (who is being blamed for water chemistry causing the issues. They point fingers elsewhere, obviously).

I’ve seen a copper pipe where in the middle of the pipe there is a pinhole leak on the top side of the pipe (too far for turbulence, can’t be cause by sediment).

If you want the most durable, I would think it would be either pex-a or perhaps 316 stainless steel (which is a valid code compliant option). But no one really knows, and it’s probably water chemistry dependent. It’s being argued in the courts now (for whatever that’s worth).
The amount of bad comparisons and statistical sleight-of-hand in this piece is pretty astonishing.

There's... a lot of wrong stuff here. Tackling some of the highlights:

> ASCII code pages map the upper 128 positions (0x7F:0xFF) of the ASCII byte. Each page holds a different character set. This is one way internationalisation can be achieved.

This is at best a poor explanation, and at worst outright wrong. The actual key thing is charset--there's a wide variety of charsets. Because ASCII is an inherently 7-bit charset, a lot of charsets were created by setting the first 128 characters to be ASCII and mapping in different characters for these charsets. IBM (I believe) came up with the term 'code page' to refer to the different character sets they came up with.

> Unicode provides a unique code for every character, regardless of the language.

That's not really true. Unicode keeps track of "code points". Several code points may together make up what we think of a character--consider that something like à can consist of either a precomposed "à" code point or an "a" + "` diacritic" sequence. Thus there's an entire concern about Unicode normalization that a lot of people prefer to sweep under the rug.

> When creating a new file using touch, your computer will interpret that file as binary file.

Okay, what's happening here is you've got a command here, the file command, whose entire job is to look at a file and guess what the contents of that file is. For text files, part of that guessing process often involves guessing what the character encoding of the file is. That guessing is not always correct--there's the infamous "the printer can't print on Tuesdays bug" that was caused by the date string in the printer file, on Tuesdays, causing the file command to think it was an entirely different type of file [1]. There's another famous bug where starting a text file with a 4-letter word, two three-letter words, and another 4-letter word would cause Notepad to think the text file was in UTF-16 instead of ASCII [2].

With regards to guessing charsets, this is not always a particularly feasible process. Some charsets are more reliable to guess than others are. UTF-8, for example, tends to stick out--continuation bytes form a pattern that most charsets are unlikely to keep up with for long. Guessing ASCII for text that contains no 8-bit values set is pretty safe, since almost every charset is designed with ASCII-subset-safety in mind, and those that aren't (EBCDIC, UTF-7, UTF-16/UTF-32) are found in relatively constrained environments [3].

[1] https://beza1e1.tuxen.de/lore/print_on_tuesday.html

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_hid_the_facts

[3] ISO-2022-* charsets are mode-switching, relying on the ESC character as part of the sequence to switch to different encodings. So you also have to consider the ESC character as a non-7-bit encoding for reliable ASCII detection.

Many have argued the AGPL is a EULA, not a proper software license. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31190064 for example:

> If I were to run a modified AGPL'd SSH server on my own hardware, the question of whether I'm violating the AGPL depends on whether I'm allowing others to access it remotely. If the AGPL can be violated without copyright infringement, it's clearly in a different legal category than the GPL.

That "[AGPL] meets all the standard requirements" and "OSI has approved it" is really an indictment of OSI judgment, not a sound argument with basis in copyright law.

> even worse suppressing women and minorities

Christianity and faith that everyone was created equal in the eyes of God was essential to inventing the concept of racial equality at a time when science couldn’t prove that assertion. Put yourself in 1850–looking around at societies in the world as they existed then—and make a scientific case for racial equality powerful enough to convince hundreds of thousands of free people to sacrifice their lives for it. Even today there’s nowhere more zealously committed to the notion of racial equality than Christian countries.
Maybe stop trying to coerce people and offer a little incentive to participate in society? Maybe offer some incentive for the wealthy to create jobs and offer gainful employment? Maybe get rid of zoning laws and force rich NIMBY landowners out of manipulating housing markets for their own gain? If people don't give a shit about their society, that's a problem with the society, not the people.

You say "cover all the cases" like it is trivial. The RFCs only define about 60% of the behavior, with the rest left up to the implementer. As a recursive you have to deal with every difference of opinion of authoritative implementers and the bugs they might have introduced.

Sure, there are better primitives within AWS for doing X, like running a containerized service, but k8s is more than that. Coupling to k8s is significantly more portable than a cloud provider's API. I can run the entire stack locally. I can run on GKE and EKS and my metal and your metal.

I've always worked in a social good type of company. I love knowing my work directly contributes to improving society, and in fact I've made it my slogan in my resume. Currently I work for a startup that helps people find help from non profit orgs.

Instead we have to work with non-technical people that run non profits, government agencies, insurance companies, etc.

I wondered the same. The main downside is that you need to do some processing to extract the entries from the dump and get the plain text of the fields you want.

Coraline Ada Ehmke's stated reason for attempting to join the OSI board was to try to change the definition of open source to permit restrictions on fields of endeavor (specifically, getting her "ethical source" license vetted as open source). The OSI still has emotional if not legal authority over the definition, even among people who aren't satisfied with that definition.
You could say that about many standards, though. Nobody living was around when they decided what "meter" and "kilogram" mean. And the adjustments to the exact definitions are decided by tiny groups of experts. You don't get to vote on that.

But someone who decided on their own definition of "meter" would be causing confusion, so nobody wants to do that.
I assume they are doing some crazy number of patterns to get to that feature size:
