What theorem is he talking about though?
Many of our decisions were based on what we had driver compatibility for. Software ALWAYS took a lot longer to get right at Sonos than hardware, largely because of the huge number of internal and external compatibilities we were required to maintain.

We had a working amp + DAC signal chain with the TPA series, so we reused that. We also had working wifi drivers with the MT7613. Much of my job was convincing the RF people that they didn't need to break out all the RF chains, which would have tipped the product into unprofitable territory.

A lot of the design decisions were based on hardware cost and speed of development. We reused a lot of subcircuits we'd previously validated on other designs.
Yes, this is my point exactly.

And there are a lot more people who own phones than cars or washing machines. How many washing machines does the average family have compared to phones?

What good is the “right to repair” the most ubiquitous device people own if it isn’t getting security updates? I don’t have to worry about my kitchen devices being secure and most of them cost less than $100. There has never been an issue with refrigerators or washers being relatively easy to repair or even TVs for that matter.

My 65 inch TV costs less than my phone.

None of the other devices you mention have parts that always wear out like smartphone batteries.

Phones are essential in even third world countries. None of the other things you are mentioning are.

blender started as a non-free commercial effort, that went bankrupt and had its source freed through a crowdfunding effort. as far as i can tell, it remains largely community funded.

grafana did start small and managed to raise funding from investors.

i think the blender model is the best future for FOSS though. funded by its users without making a profit. grafana's success is nice, but like most startups fail, that kind of success is not common.

If you are reinvesting money in the company (especially at a start up stage), Corporation Tax is the least important tax. More important is how much employees cost and UK is up there with the highest taxed countries in the world.
If you want to pay workers more than peanuts, the tax take is more than 50% on a salary (when including Employer's NI).
>How do you "get screwed" if someone else uses BNPL? The connection isn't clear.

If the government has to do a bail out of the BNPL industry or derivatives of it, they're going to use my tax dollars. They could also lower interest rates again, which may or may not hurt me. They could also raise tax rates to pay for the bail out.

Note that this isn't some brand new exception, nor is it "waiving" the rules. It has been done multiple times, most notably during the 2003 and 2006 heat waves, so more has been learned from that. They are temporarily raising the rejected cooling water heat, forbidding the plants from raising the hourly average by more than 0.3 degrees Celsius. Nuclear power plants already work with the strictest minimum they can get to, and raising that isn't that much of a problem. Many industries do not have a limit to their emitted heat.
I like this a lot -- I think one take-away that isn't explicitly mentioned (that I, as a bit of a GNOME/Wayland hater get a lot) is that "you're not paying for it so you must not discourage what they are doing" is a pretty bad argument I hear frequently.

Even if you're Free and Open Source, you're injecting code and ideas into a community. By making that public (and intended for wide use) you are opening up for criticism from anybody to say "I think your software is bad and you should stop promoting it." That's just free speech 101.

It’s strictly better and gives you more options.

You can try to get out of your country with your wealth intact.

It doesn’t magically solve all your issues, but it’s definitely better to have some access to your wealth than having it confiscated.
This argument is tiresome. Earth is not just a rock, it includes all the species and environment, which is doomed. If it's only just a rock, there are billions such, name any of those earth and problem solved. Whatever happens after that, when or if things will be like now flourishing, nobody surely knows. So lets stop guessing that part. Everything that is here right now except the rock is dying.

On the contrary humans will survive even if there are full blown nuclear attacks, we will go underground.

So except humans everything else is doomed.
It’s one thing to be raised in such a way that you have no knowledge or example of how to live a productive, healthy life.

It’s another to actively reject traditional structures like hard work and family. There is a sizable cohort of online-types that actually thinks society would be better if the government ran everything, work was outlawed, rich people went to jail, and all manner of extremely insane ideas that they blame their own problems on. They actually think the world is ending because of global warming, democracy is under attack, and doom scroll every day reading horrible nonsense that will never happen.

I would argue the human condition is to think everything is failing and the apocalypse is coming at any moment. This a frequent phenomenon throughout history and every generation has this narrative. However instead of religion now it’s environmental destruction but I see that as another type of religion.

Narcissism is rampant throughout society and no one wants to feel any pain or have to struggle whatsoever for success. We live in the greatest time that ever existed and some people are more miserable than ever.

I choose to be happy and appreciate what life offers rather than despair at things I can’t control and ultimately don’t matter.
> create another Admin account and transform your current one to limited/ restricted/ standard user account to reduce the attack surface enormously. Don't use Admin account for your tasks!

It's crazy how Windows doesn't have a sane way for users to became administrators temporarily. LAPS is a weird hack and Azure PIM doesn't work for local admin.
I think the nuance is important here. If CO2 was toxic we would have handled it already. Obviously CO2 is an asphyxiant, but so is nitrogen and that's 70% of our atmosphere. No one complains about atmospheric nitrogen. Our bodies handle CO2 continuously as a product of metabolism.

I view CO2 like I view processed sugar - if you have an energy deficit or energy balance, it's probably fine in small amounts; if you have a surplus, it's not ok.

I've been thinking about the industrial miracles of the 19th and 20th century. Steel, Aluminum, Concrete, Gasoline, Natural Gas, Plastic, Glass, Integrated Circuits, Artificial Fertilizers, Air Conditioning, Automobiles. If you only look at the positive side, all of these are truly miraculous - they've provided humanity with incredible increases in productivity and happiness. They've let people live longer and in less hospitable places. They've supported a higher population level than people expected was possible.

But those miracles have terrible side effects. I won't list them, it's too depressing.
Is this one more assault on bottom-rank productivity from the wastemonger leeches in the upper echelons, like the recent Malcolm Gladwell blabber? What does the article's author know about the average home worker's knowledge of ergonomics? Also do the author of these empty statements about collaboration know about pull-requests and rigorous work? Frankly the 21st century is calling and desperately wants its get-shit-done back!
There's enough koolaid for everybody apparently. It's going to be weird if any of these guys live to 2100 while avoiding senility and see the actual concern of the day is not enough co2 in the atmosphere because the tectonic shift in attitudes towards nuclear caused by the Ukraine invasion gets the regulators of that industry to be more reasonable, causing a flourishing of that industry and the accompanying massive drop in fossil fuel usage without the drop in living standard the crazy stuff being proposed today will cause.
Depends what problems you're looking to solve; you don't need a CoW filesystem if you just want data integrity features for example, and you don't need data integrity features if you're just looking for something with quick and efficient snapshots.

ZFS tries to solve every filesystem problem and actually doesn't even do a terrible job at it, but it can be a bit of a beast due to its high complexity and that it doesn't integrate well with the rest of the system.
Not necessarily, supermarkets have a built in expectation of some loss to spoilage already. A lot of those fake meat products have a pretty long shelf life since they are highly processed/frozen products and tend to be marketed in a very small footprint within the store. They are also priced to counter any spoilage expectation. So low stock requirements, small footprint, and consumer expectation that it’s an expensive product doesn’t really make that a false claim. They also could be considered a loss leader to attract vegan and vegetarians to buy the other vegetarian friendly foods they sell.
The Coming California Megastorm
I think it's hard to accurately judge something you have worked on.

I'm a video game developer and I struggle to enjoy the games I work on - all I can see is the bugs and the areas we didn't deliver or where we changed the artistic vision or where yes, we had to re-do certain systems a hundred times. And yet, people seem to enjoy them. They review well. So maybe my opinion as a developer isn't really worth that much.

I feel the same about the opinion you copied here - having watched Multiverse of Madness 3 times now I don't see any issue with the opening sequence. It looks pretty good from visual standpoint in fact. But I'm sure a trained VFX artist can point out the areas where it fell short and how many times they had to change it. The only visual effect in this entire film that stood out to me as "bad" was the sequence with illuminati right after they killed their thanos - that just looks like a poor Photoshop.
Nice photo of the now defunct Montana Rail Link. I always loved that livery.
The fact that you could hold some % of your wealth in BTC (in self custody) and have insulated yourself from the failure of the Lebanese currency is evidence that it is working.
I'm curious, is "30% of seniors thing" solved by having a car in the US? Here in Japan, driving by senior is getting more problematic. Senior people live in rural are hard to give up having cars because public transport is getting poor and rural town have shrunk because of car society. Older people tend to cause car accident and anyway every people finally can't drive, so gov want them to release their license earlier.
I think they're trying to say is you can just link stuff to $HOME if some filesystem runs out of space (not an endorsement of that view, just an explanation).
But at what cost? I think that’s the point. You can’t get away from the toil, it will just be replaced by something else, possibly worse.

That's a very unfortunate comment in the second paragraph.
I can switch to Common Lisp at any time later in the book, if I feel, that translating to Scheme is too difficult for me. I will need to understand CL anyway, to do the translation.

What I do not like about CL is probably one of the "wars" fought in computer programming: I do not like, that I have to use funcall, instead of simply wrapping with parens. I do not like, that variables and functions are in separate namespaces. However, if going through the book using Scheme gets too complicated, these are not things I cannot get over.

EDIT: I probably also do not like the less emphasis on pure functions in CL. I think while solving some exercises I already did some things, so that I could solve without mutating global state. But it's been a while since I last continued working through the book, so I am not so sure. I get that sometimes a simple side-effect can be practical, but this is my free time occupation and I get joy from doing things in clean ways. Nevertheless, Common Lisp is one of the languages, which I wish I could actually work in (like on the job, not in my free time), when I compare it to things like Python, JavaScript and so on. At least it is in the family of languages I enjoy using.

Just to clarify, Bun isn't a wrapper around V8. It's a wrapper around JSC.

I don't think Jared's benchmarks were benchmarking Bun and Node so much as V8 and JSC.

Absolutely nobody is going to want to make a life on Mars. Being exciting is all it has going for it. Bottom of the sea would be a much more viable place if we needed to escape from some kind of extreme weather. It must be so unfathomably cheaper than Mars.
Well I hope you find it within yourself to consider the arguments you and I have both made and continue your research. I can’t recommend those Kurzgesagt videos enough. They are chock full of peer reviewed research!
The built in one only supports .zip format AFAIK. 7zip supports basically everything you will come across including .rar and .gz. Also it’s nice to have the Explorer shortcuts (right click, unzip here).
Oh there are way more than 10 implementations of JavaScript before we even start counting all their distributions (Bun being a distribution of JSC, etc).

Pampering? My wife and I rescue dogs which means we end up with many who have health problems, and don't tend to live as long. A 2 year old dog we had literally died in my arms of a massive heart attack. I've seen and dealt with animal death probably more than most. I don't need to see the same thing on screen, particularly if it's just a cheap plot device. Movies/books that revolve around the animal like an Old Yeller or Racing in the Rain are fine, but I do like knowing going in.

I'll also mention that I train BJJ and fight with people for hours every week, so I'm not some super sensitive person.
I feel like this comment is seriously underestimating the average farmer, these are people with complicated jobs and wide ranges of skill sets. Also when your livelihood is threatened unless you learn how to do something, you're gonna learn how to do that thing.
No way “most” people can use bikes for pretty much everything.

I get what you are advocating for. I have had several periods in my life where I used a bike as my primary form of transportation. But it only works well in a pretty narrow set of circumstances.
High-end estimates are $5m per mile, at 140,000 miles it would be $700 billion, throw in a bit more for some new locos (probably could switch existing somehow), cool trillion.

There's cadmium there, yeah.
But cadmium is not addictive, and is not a reason for cigarettes being addictive.
Removing the cadmium will not make cigarettes less addictive.

>And yes, the vote for the president is not a raw popular vote. There is a level of indirection through another body that often does, but may not, yield the same result as a popular vote would.

The Electoral College does, in fact, always reflect the popular vote: The popular votes of each respective state.

Critics of the Electoral College fall flat and demonstrate their sheer ignorance because they keep trying to apply the nationwide popular vote when the election for President was never about that.

To explain in more detail for the uninitiated:

A state's Electoral College votes are determined by the state's popular vote, with the winner taking all (except for Oklahoma and Maine which split their EC votes proportionally).

The Electoral College itself is a facsimile of Congress: There are 538 electors because there are 435 Representatives, 100 Senators, and an extra EC-only 2 Senators plus 1 Representative for Washington, D.C..

The Electoral College exists as a means to tally up each state's political will for President in a way that weighs each state's political power appropriately and keep Legislative influence out of an election concerning the Executive. Congress (aka the Legislative) only gets involved in the election if and only if the Electoral College fails to do its job.

Constructive criticism is always welcome, but there are reasons why things are done the way they are. The least anyone can do in the process of criticizing is first understand and respect what they are criticizing.
So I personally enjoy this style of storytelling - it rewards you for knowing the backstory of all the characters, it allows for a richer universe, and you don't feel like the film treats you like an idiot for explaining everything you might already know.

But - I can also see why this is a problem - you're right that people who haven't seen Wandavision would be very confused by this film. Wanda went from being a hero in Infinity War/Endgame, to suddenly being a villain.
>I'm not sure how much of this is true.

I'll admit to this not being an opinion I hold based on any kind of scientific observation, this does seem to be an opinion I have anecdotally observed among rural- and suburban-populations, which tend to lean more towards the conservative political spectrum than their urban counterparts.

>I'm a conservative, and I would love to have more walkable/bikeable cities and to not need a car.

Kudos.

If you want everyone to bike, you'll need larger bikeways than what exists now.

Also, you'll still need the roads for logistics.
Except that if food is plentiful, but not everyone has equal access to food, then it has everything to do with equality.

Actually, many wars and rebellions in history have been due to some kind of inequality, whether perceived or real, when individuals or groups were motivated to fight to seek redress. And wars are very much unstable.
