To be honest that reads more like a list of complaints about how they didn't do the process the way he prefers, rather than criticism of the license itself.

The only point of actual criticism about the license that I see is that it is one way compatible with the Apache license. And the supposed ideology of wanting to absorb other licenses, though one could argue that the designers just wanted to have an easy migration path.
This blog post is good, but is pretty average stuff for a real professional. You are just used to reading webdev tip&trick postlets from third-rate hacks
My first smartphone was the Motorola Atrix 4G, which I bought around may 2012. Removable battery, first fingerprint scanner, great pixel density for that era. It was cool and I took care of it as much as I could.

But the 365th day after I bought it, WiFi and Bluetooth stopped working. All of a sudden. WiFi chip was built with a death date.

On the other hand, the next phone I bought lasted with me for more than 7 years - until I accidentally dropped it and crashed with an acute metal surface. Only the screen died but I used it as an excuse to got a new phone, but now I fear phones now aren't designed nor built to last that much.
> I have been a long time enthusiast of high power flashlights. We typically use 18350, 18650, 21700, or 26650. But I have been in dismay as even in this community, companies are starting to move away from these standards and provide proprietary batteries (Olight) or sealed (some newer Fenix models).

We went through this exact cycle with laptops and cellular phones. The hardcore internet users were furious when companies dared to remove the option for a user-replaceable battery.

But the market reacted positively. And honestly, it turned out fine. I could get replacement aftermarket batteries for my iPhone and MacBooks for a long time, and now I can even get genuine replacement parts when I need them.

I see a lot of parallels in the flashlight world: The hardcore collectors who value their ability to swap out batteries, experiment with different cells, and carry their batteries from one light to the next are furious. Yet the average buyer probably prefers the features afforded by the custom battery solutions.

The standardized-battery flashlights are still readily available. The market will avoid the proprietary solutions if that's really what the market feels, but I suspect these companies actually have a good idea about what their customers are looking for.

> GraphQL came about as a way for mobile clients to call backend services. At Facebook, once a version (of the mobile app) was released, it was essentially out there forever. Some people would simply never upgrade until they absolutely had to.
>
> The point of GraphQL is that you want to get away from thinking about versioning your API and cleanly upgrading because you probably can't. You can do versions but you don't have clean divisions. You'll mark a given field as "since v2.1". And fields that you have added can basically never be removed. The best you can do is make them return null or an error.

This nails it. For distributed apps where a client might never be updated, you can't really change your schema if you want to guarantee that your app works for everyone. You can build in a mechanism to prompt users to update to a later version, though, and that can be very effective.

> Claims resulting from nuclear accidents are covered under Price-Anderson; for that reason, all U.S. property and liability insurance policies exclude nuclear accidents. Claims can include any incident (including those caused by theft or sabotage) in transporting nuclear fuel to a reactor site, storing nuclear fuel or waste at a site; during operation of a reactor, including the discharge of radioactive effluent; and transporting irradiated nuclear fuel and nuclear waste from the reactor.

Author here: I think ZFS is totally fine, but it's about understanding risk. And running ZFS on your laptop without ECC, that's ok.

Running ZFS on a home server as a NAS but without ECC memory, you are addressing one risk, but you are forgetting another (IMHO bigger) risk: faulty memory causing bitrot.

It's as if you lock your back-door and leave the front-door unlocked.
It is interesting how these apply to the kind of office I work in: the nurse's station of a hospital unit. Any attempt at a library ambiance is impossible with today's medical equipment, the amount of alarms active at any time is staggering.

Preferring written messages over voice calls is incentivized, but still needs work. You can page a physician, but almost always he will call back rather than respond in writing. Sometimes the physician will never enter the order into the electronic health record and so it needs to be entered by the nurse—that's an opportunity for error.

Introducing friction is a good idea. The best places for drawing up medications are ones with doors, it gives a rare moment of silence. Unfortunately there's a culture issue, people will leave those doors open and try to talk to people busy in there.

Newer-built units are much better spaces to work in, generally. They're larger and have these ideas in mind when built. It's rare when a tower can be completely demolished, however. New equipment fills older wings and staff have to squeeze past it.

I use Zui with Kha/Haxe - an immediate mode GUI library. I cannot overstate how immediate mode GUI greatly simplifies ui development. React is massive step up from OOP/scenegraph/display list style gui, but it is still so complex and cumbersome compared to immediate mode. I can’t fathom why there is such little exploration in this space and it seems mostly limited to gamedev.

I am hoping to use Klipper on an old Prusa i2 which I am converting to a printer plotter. The software/hardware will probably simply be an Rpi driving an Arduino Uno. Any wisdom/experience available?
After that I hope to have my MPCNC (as a CNC router) running Klipper with a better Arduino board.
Ahh, I appreciate being set straight regarding the tests!

Let me put it this way: as a Medicaid patient, my PCP never offered to test inflammation and it has never been suggested as either a symptom or cause of anything, especially not my diet.

My last PCP was desparate to start me on statins, my current PCP tried to sneak in a diabetes lab after I lost 70lbs, and the clinicians don't really waste time encouraging Medicaid patients to exercise or eat organic diets (she said I can do what I want, but she considers organic to be a "gimmick"). When a PCP asks you what you've been eating, you may have up to 30 seconds to reply verbally - that's not going to be productive!

Centering treatment and diets around reducing and avoiding inflammation always struck me as the realm of alternative medicine. And indeed, the initial resources I've evaluated have lots of information on candida yeast and anti-inflammatory diets. So I'm enthusiastically chasing down those leads.
When sharing a small office my coworkers and I would talk a fair bit. Later I moved to a newly-remodeled space and I’ll give my coworkers credit: it was very quiet there, much like a library.

Which meant there was little reason to go into the office.

I think for collaboration, you want a nice team room (much like a meeting room) where everyone there is actually working together on the same project.
Cellphones are devices that cost hundreds of dollars and gave a store on every other streetcorner that can repair them. Doing this to flashlights is just creating e-waste.

Your average company knows the average buyer is an idiot and will gladly burn the earth selling them junk. We had to heavily regulate the food industry to prevent bad actors from causing negative effects, looks like the same needs to happen with e-goods.
How about C? Bash? Perl? Java? Go? Rust?

I've done plenty of signal handling in Python and it's extremely straight forward. Like other languages, the runtime takes care of safely propagating information from the signal handler to other execution contexts, which requires being careful in a language like C (it's not hard, but you can't be naive). I wouldn't be surprised if there were bugs in Python, it's a mess generally and I'm not a fan.

Postgres queries run as subprocesses. You can send them any signals you want. Postgres tries very hard to be durable, and it handles signals carefully but often to the dismay of the operator who can't force it to stop without SIGKILL.

> registering for a signal is arguably non-trivial and incorrectly specified in many places since sigaction() supersedes signal().

This isn't a good argument, no one uses signal(2), I'm not aware of that ever being recommended in recent history and even the docs on my system scream "never use this" quite clearly.

Look, if you're not going to read the docs, signal handling will be the least of your concern. Signal behavior is extremely well documented.
Articles like this stir up a mix of emotions for me.

I served in the Marine Corps Infantry from 05 to 11.

It was my impression that the military is one of the last true melting pots left in America. I served with people from all different places and backgrounds.

Everyone I ever served with was treated equally as far as I ever personally witness. There's an old joke that the Marines treat everyone like they're black.

I personally identify far more strongly as a combat veteran that any other group.

I won't pretend there was no racism in the Corps at that time. I can remember a friend from a sniper platoon in 1/6 telling me that they excluded black members in a hush-hush way (they accepted latino, asian, and other races though - only the black members were kept out).

I think about the debt this country owes to all of the African American service members in its history who served in spite of the discrimination they faced.

I'm proud of the Marines for growing a black leader into this position and know that it will be symbolically meaning not only within the military but outside of it.
seems to me like the biggest gain is redundancy? repairability? I hope they're cheaper per kwhr produced.
They also severely overdrive the LEDs to get more brightness, at the cost of both reduced efficiency and lifetime.

At least the Phoebus Cartel had an ostensible explanation (efficiency) for what they did. Doing the same with LED lighting is pure corporate greed.

Some of the indicator LEDs on some of my electronics are many decades old, yet they are still functioning like when they were new. Clearly LEDs can last a long time, but there wouldn't be any profit in that.

Here's some interesting discussion about the "Dubai Lamp", an attempt at going the opposite direction and actually making LEDs last significantly longer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27093793

Even if true, George Bernard Shaw dispelled the notion that it is important decades ago: ‘The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

Yeah the oil and hot water sounds crazy over-the-top. But India is a tropical country that's mostly warm year-round. Everyone probably took a dip in a nearby river, lake, or pond every day. Or took a bucket bath with well water, which would have been perfectly warm enough. This isn't possible, or at least far more uncomfortable, in most European countries due to their climate. Plus you sweat way more in the tropics, so daily bathing is an absolute necessity to feel human.
There's no division in the algorithm, is there?
They were likely pissed because they were afraid it would make them look bad to management - "How come no one on the backend team could find time to build this, but one front-end guy managed to despite his regular workload?"

It's an easy conclusion to get to, whether justified or not.

No one likes being made to look incompetent, regardless of whether they actually are.

I have the impression you didn't ask for permission before you did it - the dynamic is wildly different if you start things off by asking if they'd be okay with you taking some time to build it, then involve them in your process as much or as little as they want.

If that's what you actually did, then my analysis is way off.

Those are not instances of error checking causing data corruption. As I said, "I don't understand how error checking could ever cause data corruption."

Error checking will only ever help you, not hurt you. It doesn’t matter how bad you memory or disk or raid controller is. Error checking won't necessarily save you from those things, but it can in some cases, and it’ll never make things worse.
People don't remember now, but electric vehicles were not consider something that would be broadly adopted then.

And of course GM/Ford and others would simply let suppliers take car of that. Ford last CEO less then 2 years ago said things like 'there is no need to invest in battery factories, we can just buy them on the open market'. Of course since then the new CEO made a major deal with SK.

I was in the similar situation. I've used linux on workstation in 00s, but since around 2012 been using corporate Macbooks mostly.

My recent experiment with moving to the cheapest Thinkpad (E14 Gen 3, the one with AMD) was successful and using it for personal projects makes me very happy. I bought the cheapest configuration and added some RAM and the second (!) NVMe disk to install linux in addition to windows (nice to have, but downgraded it to win10 from 11). Linux is so much stable and overall better than macos and windows.

> The market will avoid the proprietary solutions if that's really what the market feels

I don't really buy into (no pun intended) any argument that relies on the efficient market hypothesis. As this article pointed out, there's a vast asymmetry of information, which prevents an efficient market, even in theory.

> but I suspect these companies actually have a good idea about what their customers are looking for.

I suspect these companies have a good idea about what will cause their customers to purchase more often, and which parts cannot be evaluated on a showroom. Replaceable batteries would add tremendous value for customers, and battery life is frequently the most desired feature in surveys.

You think so? Games are often full of little things like that. That's a good thing to point out, but it certainly doesn't seem as unusual as you paint it. Letting the user be playful is generally what games are good at ;)
plan9's ACME is interesting how its mostly traditional except for both the mouse-chords and the part that its also a shell. also a window manager. and a file manager.

That’s an interesting perspective.

I would still love to hear from somebody that is an actual longevity enthusiast rather than speculate as to their motives. As I’ve said, my previous actual conversations with longevity enthusiasts have been quite unsatisfying because I don’t buy “better telomeres for a higher number of years” as an actual pure human motivation. I would buy “a crippling fear of death” or “I want to spend every single dime I’ve ever accumulated” or “Finishing Dwarf Fortress” but the diehards always handwave and say they want to live forever… just ‘cuz.

edit: I’ll rephrase the crux of my original question.

Assuming you are able to find the magic potion that makes you live until 130 today, that means that you will outlive a whole lot of the planet. You’ll see people you care about die if they’re unable or unwilling to get said potion. If you reframe the question of “Who do you want to outlive and why?” then “idk lol” becomes a less understandable response.
> How 400 people can work in deep focus in library but cannot do the same in company open space?

They're different kinds of work. People usually (to this day) work alone in libraries. People in big open bullpen offices tend to work collaboratively.

Also, those solo library workers don't typically have bosses by whom to be seen collaborating. Or "collaborating."
I've had my mom on Ubuntu for maybe 5-7 years. Mostly a great experience. She sounds like she is at a similar level as OP's. It has been nice because when she does have questions or problems, it becomes something we can work on together, because unlike solving problems on walled gardens, I actually enjoy helping her now. Even though she is not a computer person, she appreciates being in an ecosystem more attuned to her values. It also enables her to run old computers, which she is happy with.

Nah it would be pretty easy to discover soap accidentally. People have been using ash to scour metal for ages. Someone scours a plate or bowl with some leftover fat or oil or grease in it and it cleans really well, because it makes a kind of soap. It only takes one person to notice this fact, and the idea catches on.
