Open source is gimmick when topic is a project like Chromium; it's a monolithic ecosystem contains too much hurdle to tame using it as an independent product for independent developer(s) and/or communities. Reflects mostly Google's vision on web, not users' or independent entities.

Arc, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi or any other Chromium-based project can't really make a difference on the web yet, big thanks to the Chromium codebase; changing mostly visual bits, adding some cryptoish features, built-in adblocker, more hooks to system for usage analysis, etc. Even still, too many things going to the Google's services, maybe because of addons or phishing protection.

I don't know if it's some kind of "if it works, don't fix it" and/or "don't reinvent the wheel" thinking but that's for sure web and users pays the price not the companies.

I think similar things for Android, Firefox, Windows and Linux. They're dominating their positions and holding their territories at all hazards and sometimes this defence means destruction of alternatives, without regard to qualifications and qualities.

This is a bad thing for me.
There's not one distro where camera works. There's one distro (manjaro) that was willing to ship broken hacks first while the rest of the community made the actual working camera app. While that app was developed on postmarketOS first it was almost instantly available on the other distributions that didn't first have to undo their previous mess.

The diversity of the distributions has helped me _a lot_ to make sure that Megapixels does not have some flaws in it that makes it unable to run on other platforms. Things like musl/glibc differences, weird path requirements in nixOS all have made the actual software better.

If "the golden standard" is the manjaro distro then the requirements for good software plummet really hard because there's no quality standard at all there.
Not with any urgency of course; it's one factor among many. We have a 2015 car that feels like 2005, and a 2018 car that feels like 2022. The terrible map/etc. experience will certainly be a motivator when replacing - and makes old car worth much less on the used market than one that updates.
Was surprised to see “Singapore”, expected “Bay Area.”

When I left my last rental after buying a house, my elderly white landlord asked me to help him put the property on Craigslist. When I did so and mentioned the Cupertino school district, he asked me to remove that part because “it would attract too many Indian families with kids” to avoid the curry smell. He had no issue with other Asian ethnicities, the previous tenant was Chinese.

I did not remove it, but I don’t know anything about the next renter.

I’ve since heard the same comment from people at work who rent out property. The curry smell is always the issue.
> I do not want my 2 ton moving vehicle updated on a whim.

The car won't update itself, so:

1. Ignore any updates as they become available.

2. Problem solved.

This is really neat, but you need to rethink the date/time/duration arithmetics. You’re equating 12 months with 365.25 days, which gives rise to results like “1 month - 31 days” giving “-0.0184804928 months”. At the same time, “30th January + 1 month” gives “28 Feb 2022 at 12:00:00” (why “2022”, and why “at 12:00:00”? — this is only a date calculation without reference to a year or to a time of day), while “30th January + 30 days” gives “1 Mar 2022 at 12:00:00”, although “1 month in days” gives “30.4375 days”.

In reality, months/years are simply not convertible to days/weeks arithmetically, and you can’t sensibly add months to certain dates, and sometimes also not years (for February 29th). The former should give “Incompatible units”, and the latter should result in something like “Undefined” for incompatible dates.
I'm not a Rust-only developer, but a general systems programmer, and my foray into embedded is limited to a side project (see my profile), but no, I haven't switched to C/C++. Rust brings too much goodness to give it up.

Rust-embedded is an easy ecosystem to work with (if immature), and if you want more flexibility, Tock OS [0] is trying to cover that space (also immature, but I'm working on it).

In my twenty years of driving I have had a single manual control fail in a vehicle and it cost less than $50 to get it fixed. I can’t imagine fixing anything on these modern cars being less than several hundred.
I have a quite different (and most likely biased) opinion than most people (here or in Western countries).

WWIII is already happening. The US is closing up on Russia now for more than a decade. China is growing economically but they are still far away militarily and except for Russia there isn't really another contender for the US militarily speaking.

Before 2010 the world was quite multi-polar with the US being the leader. Now, we are moving to a uni-polar world and this is of course triggering reactions both from China, Russia and countries that want to remain sovereign (ie: India, Brazil, ASEAN, etc...)

Countries not in the western sphere are already aware of this. The EU is quite aware of this too and it's going to be a loser in this new order but it doesn't seem to be able to build a politically independent force to have its own policy. Russia is the main target and they know this, that's why they are freaking out. China probably doesn't like Russia much but certainly would prefer a multi-polar world (at least until they are able to become the leader); so they'll help the Russians to slow down the West. Major other countries like India do not like China or Russia but they are concerned about the accumulation of power and inflation in the West/US hands. Smaller countries are trying to survive in this environment and feed their people either by selling their young labor for pennies, or opening their borders for rich people from the West to sun bathe.

That's the world for you, in a nutshell.

If I am to predict the future:

- Russia gets drawn in a long war with Ukraine. The US is playing the long game of starving them financially and technologically.

- China will probably collapse in a spectacular fashion. They are far from being a united country. The outcome won't be easy to predict and China is huge. It is possible this will happen without much disruption to trading lines.

- Europe/Euro/Schengen will end sometime in the next 10 years. Some European countries will be back to third-world status.

- With the fall of the Euro, the US dollar will become the ultimate currency. The US will be able to yield enormous influence all over the world.

Don't think of car enthusiast, think people who like the car because of the shade of its color and feel of the leather - which is most people.

Those are exactly the people I'm talking about though. I'm in the UK - maybe the current culture is different here to some other places?

Of course it's also possible that my own experience hasn't been representative but I've heard the same story so many times for so long now that it's hard to believe I've encountered some freak sample of outliers.

> layers of administration and middle management that are not necessary under WFH

How come they are not necessary under WFH?

The only obvious administration which is not needed (or needed less) is office management. So the people who make sure the kitchenett is clean, the toilets are stocked with toilet paper, etc etc. For every other type of “management” why would you need less of it all of a sudden?

When I read your comment, I immediately thought of a car which you exit by removing the floor plating, after which the car lifts itself up, so you can comfortably step away from the underside. Can't wait to see my grandma try that!
The Rust ESP32 ecosystem isn't as mature as STM32 unfortunately, I would be cautious about beginning a production ESP32 product written in Rust.

STM32s however are a different story... I'm using the stm32h7 microcontroller with Rust in a production product. Its really great.

Hopefully the ESP32 support matures sooner rather than later, which I think would be great for more Rust IoT uptake and Rust embedded as a whole.

I would love to see Rust become the defacto standard in embedded development.

It feels as if this is about to explode an existing problem, namely, there's too much content in the world already. Lowering the effort bar for content creation and generation is, in some ways, going to cause a deluge of low-quality/mid-quality content to be generated.

Like you say, this is an existing situation (I hesitate to call anything that lowers the barrier to entry a "problem"). The printing press opened up printing for more people. As did desktop publishing. Similarly, garage band and bandcamp make it so much easier to produce and publish music. Yeah, there's a ton of books and music out there, including a bunch of junk, but the cream still tends to rise to the top. I'd rather take my chances on having to find a masterpiece in a haystack than have it never get published at all, either because of lack of funding/lack of some specific skill that AI can handle/no willing publisher, etc.

I wonder what will happen first: 1) water pipelines being built or 2) people moving away from states where it's difficult to sustain a typical western life or 3) people in these states figure out that they need to change their way of life in order to keep living in the desert?
In what sense? I've worked with people around the world from a base in the UK and to be honest, don't find staff in other countries are much different. Certainly the quality of output doesn't seem any better.
Often they recruit kids with graphic arts backgrounds, hand them some fancy post-it notes and a YouTube video of how Zipcar did a journey map, and set them loose.

UX usually focuses on the critical path for the top-5 tasks. So turning on the car radio makes sense, but changing the radio station didn’t make the cut, so some rando engineer guy stuffed it in a menu.

When it’s done well with a great team and time it’s magic. It’s easiest to see when Apple gets software right, like Keynote - the functions of making a presentation are immediately obvious to an elementary school student. But even then, once you leave the happy path, woe to you - modifying a template is a dark art to most people.
> Inevitable because thats history. Pax Americana has effectively come to an end with the Taliban giveaway.

From the Euro POV, Pax Americana ended with the second invasion of Iraq. This was a complete misuse of the post-war common pact system based on lies. Since Europe was on the receiving end of those lies, it has not been forgotten.

This is a common view throughout Europe across many political boundaries. The reason that this is important is that the opinion of the rest of the world is what gives Pax Americana its power.

So folks are aware: this isn't research, this is a single test designed by Vi Bilägare, which is a Swedish auto industry magazine. And like the US auto industry rags (Car & Driver, Motor Trend) it's dependent for its revenue on advertising business from the industry being reviewed. And Tesla doesn't advertise.

Crypto asks for regulatory clarity and then complains when it starts... and then goes further claiming it's an attack on open source.

Or they could take an 83(b) election when granted the options. Or they could exercise some fraction of their options. Or they could sell some of the shares in the multibillion-dollar secondary market when they exercise to pay for the taxes.

Your broader point stands. But there are more choices than “eat it.”
The Audi A2 has been out of production since 2005. Maybe a Q2?
Nope. It was fairly common to see "No Indians, No PRC" in advertisements even in 2020.
No it's not their job, and I'll try to explain why I think that.

Apart from the remit being just too broad, designers in any case are
part of a complex team that deal with a multitude of functional,
non-functional, regulatory and financial requirements.

Now, we have many different definitions of "designer", which I am very
aware of, but I believe that, in some circles "designer" has become
romanticised and extended to include a set of perceived "magical"
powers to "deliver what a boss wants". That is a distortion of the
role to something grotesque.

Speaking from a domain in which I have expertise; in sound design a
great battle ensued between designers, users (audiences) and the
'bosses' (studios and publishers) as to how music and films should
sound. You probably know this as the "Loudness Wars". I think it
remains a textbook example of misalignment between technical, artistic
and financial factors. It also remains an example of why I think
"Markets are a myth" [2].

Despite listeners saying over and over that they "Don't want it", the
producers, through a mess of internal motives (mainly financial),
repeatedly foisted their values onto them, being obsessed with what
they think users want in preference to flat-out contradiction that
would be evident in even the most cursory market research.

The job of a designer is to balance factors, and in a sense act as an
advocate (stand-in) for the user by mentalising their actual
needs. It's a very demanding and complex skill. Doing "what your boss
says" is absolutely not it and reduces a designer to a tool.

On the other hand, a job of the designer is also to listen to expert
technical advice outside of their skill-set, and so must not get
carried away with any grand "aesthetic vision", wanting to be Steve
Jobs.

A hard line to tread, and one requiring strong will and ethics as well
as judgement.

His method already does that. Creating a target for a single service is very much overkill. Though creating a target like setup or pre-default and putting in there might be a fine idea if you have other services you want to run that way.

But, since the unit is already setting a fixed path for the agent, I would just put that path in my .profile and call it a day. Having systems do environment variable injection seems too fragile to me, especially for static variables.

My favourite feature of touchscreens in cars is when you try to click a button but go over a bump[1] so your finger misses and you press something else. Genius.

I do get that touchscreens allow manufactures to add and remove controls though.

Rolling out UI changes for self-driving cars, like getting rid of the, knob behind the wheel, will help with safety no end.

1. Not sure what the bump was, probably the neighbour's kid or dog or something. Too busy trying to get the latest Smartless. That Will Arnet, what a card, etc, etc...
Running games under Rosetta comes with a performance hit. A small hit, sure, but it definitely appears to be a large enough hit to kill the M1's power efficiency advantage. It's not far fetched that the AMD SoC in the deck is more powerful efficient than M1 with Rosetta, even, especially since M1's GPU performance in games is notably below par.
Nope. Changed houses a few months ago. Nothing's changed.
> Managing build configurations...

In terms of package management, you can apply rules to what crates you want to include; including specific platform constraints.

[target.'cfg(target_os = "linux")'.dependencies]
nix = "0.5"

On the code side it's pretty much the same as C++. You have a module that defines an interface and per-platform implementations that are included depending on a "configuration conditional check" #[cfg(target_os = "linux")] macro.

The fact that USA is doing anything for Ukraine is astounding all in itself.

Russia is not even a remote threat to USA, besides nuclear weapons.

Russia is a threat to Europe - Ukraine, Georgia, Baltics, Poland, Finland, Kazahstan.

And still Germany and France would be happy to give up Ukraine whole to Russia if not for USA.

Germany was happily making itself dependent on Russia and paying Russia to modernize their army. Germany was even bypassing their own sanctions after 2014 to deliver weapons components to Russia that are now being found in wrecks in Ukraine. All while Germany is deeply relaying on USA for defense from Russia. It's crazy that USA was so chill about it until Trump.

As a Pole born and raised 40km from Kaliningrad oblast it's really weird that I trust USA more than I do Germany, France, Italy etc.
If they don't support something, it's bad, if they do support something, it's EEE, which is bad. And this EEE strategy is magically tied to the company name, instead of having left with the CEO that pushed it.
I have a 2021 BMW and I really like the alternatives on button and touch screen it offers.

I barely use the touchscreen and when not needed I outright turn it off. This is quite easy because BMW has 8 buttons that can be mapped to any function in the touchscreen including turning off the main screen.

Another thing I enjoy is the gesture detector. It sometimes has false positives when I gesticulate a lot but it works when I actually intend it to. It is very satisfying to mute the radio or change an annoying music with a hand gesture. If they would keep trying to integrate and perfect it I think it would be the right direction for innovation.

Touchscreens are fine when parked or for the passenger. Anything else they are useless and often have too much distracting info, so they are turned off.
Based on a true story:

Take a break, rest and review these problems with a clear mind. Consulting a professional helps for mind and career.

Good luck.
It being illegal means you can drag the landlord to court and ask them to explain their thinking to the court. You can say, look, here's the income and rental histories and credit scores for your tenants in separate apartments, here's documentation saying we are above that, so what's the reason for the rejection. And, lying under oath is its own crime.

This is like saying "murder shouldn't be illegal because everyone is just going to bury the body". It being illegal is how the investigation starts.
It does not to me. It is similar to pet friendly, unmarried couple friendly, foreigner friendly, etc tag. It wastes less time of everyone while law enforcement cracks down on discrimination of protected classes.

>- don't even mention printing

Sounds strange because both Linux and MacOS share the same Cups software for printing. AFAIK Cups main developpers are employed by Apple.

I haven't run into any hiccups these last 15 years. Everytime I was in the market for a printer I just verified it was supported well on openprinting.org. On my current printer I just needed to install one rpm.

Compare that to all the crappy software that was installed on my gf windows 10 laptop, involving a reboot, annoying popups telling you about ink level on every print and an app loading up at startup to stay in systray.

I like to mention that I used for 18 years a scanner on linux and bsd perfectly while it was out of support in Mac and windows since 2001. It wasn't even a device that would have used very old connectors impossible to find on modern hardware. It was using USB! In that particular case I don't think that Mac really accounts for what you'd call a "Just Work" experience.
Territorial taxation, one pays taxes only on what is generated inside the country and often remittances. Working as employee is taxed at Thai rate, working as a contractor for foreigners is not taxed
> Massive power consumption.. ? I've never seen it report more than 20W being discharged from the battery

For comparison, this is the same peek power consumption of the M1 base SoC. A debate could be had if the M1 would be faster overall (I don't think it would be in games if Rosetta is involved), but it's not going to lower power consumption.
My Nissan Qashqai has it too. I absolutely love that 360 view and will never buy another car without it. It makes parking sooo much easier.
