You are not living in a bubble, you are a developer. It seems that we use the number row and people making a living with Excel use the number pad.

A friend of mine confirmed that were she works everybody use the number pad except developers. She can't understand why they are doing that. I think we don't type numbers much. The times of BASIC with mandatory line numbers are very very far away.

Prediction to test my theory: writers and journalists use the number row too.
>> it's paying that in addition to forbidding TSMC from increasing their capacity on that node while the contract is ongoing

Is there any proof that this is actually true? TSMC is currently building few new factories, I suppose they will produce 3nm chip in them.

You know developers who've never let a bug or performance issue enter production(with or without testing)?

One of the first jobs I ever had was working in the engineering department of a mobile radio company. They made the kind of equipment you’d install in delivery trucks and taxis, so fleet drivers could stay in touch with their base in the days before modern mobile phone technology existed.

Before being deployed on the production network, every new software release for each level in the hierarchy of Big Equipment was tested in a lab environment with its own very expensive installation of Big Equipment exactly like the stations deployed across the country. Members of the engineering team would make literally every type of call possible using literally every combination of sending and receiving radio authorised for use on the network and if necessary manually examine all kinds of diagnostics and logs at each stage in the hardware chain to verify that the call was proceeding as expected.

It took months to approve a single software release. If any critical faults were found during testing, game over, and round we go again after those faults were fixed.

Failures in that software were, as you can imagine, rather rare. Nothing endears you to a whole engineering team like telling them they need to repeat the last three weeks of tedious manual testing because you screwed up and let a bug through. Nothing endears you to customers like deploying a software update to their local base station that renders every radio within an N mile radius useless. And nothing endears you to an operations team like paging many of them at 2am to come into the office, collect the new software, and go drive halfway across the country in a 1990s era 4x4 in the middle of the night to install that software by hand on every base station in a county.

Automated software testing of the kind we often use today was unheard of in those days, but even if it had been widely used, it still wouldn’t have been an acceptable substitute for the comprehensive manual testing prior to going into production. As for how the developers managed to have so few bugs that even reached the comprehensive testing phase, the answer I was given at the time was very simple: the code was extremely systematic in design, extremely heavily instrumented, and subject to frequent peer reviews and walkthroughs/simulations throughout development so that any deviations were caught quickly. Development was of course much slower than it would be with today’s methods, but it was so much more reliable in my experience that the two alternatives are barely on the same scale.
They do not.

As I understand it, you are free to develop it. GitHub can't stop you from doing that. I'm not sure of your point here.
We do Vibration Testing where I work (think satellite parts, simulating launch, etc). We moved to SSDs a long time ago because some of our test gear would shutdown at certain frequencies/levels during vib tests.
I'd love to see some user testing data on the subject. I feel like investing in tooling around the tutorials would be predicated on evidence that more than 50% of users benefit from them.

The argument you're likely to get is something along the lines of "just because the rules don't stop everybody, that's not an argument not to have the rules."

But you're right. In this case it won't do much. But it justifies the salary of many bureaucrats. They can play whack-a-mole and no one will think too hard about it, because hey it's hardened criminals they're going after right? The 'moles' will simply scatter elsewhere and those arguing to whack the moles will always have the moral upperhand, so the salaries of the mole whackers will always be secure.

Even the FDA in their statement cited the history of the rule, "In 2017, Congress passed bipartisan legislation requiring the FDA to create a category of OTC hearing aids, but it was not fully implemented until now. Consumers could see OTC hearing aids available in traditional retail and drug stores as soon as mid-October when the rule takes effect."
> Why would they care whether I continue to develop it or not?

If you continue developing it academically, that’s fine. If you’re developing it to deploy it, that could be problematic. Most people don’t want to deal with customers where they have to monitor that distinction. (Those folks can always just host the code themselves.)
I'm not talking about the part that the US Government's doing, I'm talking about the way in which "tech oriented* people respond. Back then it was much more "The internet routes around censorship, lets get to work" and today it's just like "Oh no what will we do without this code on Github?"

Equating the material selection for gears in a 1500W blender vs a mechanical cat flap does not make a ton of sense. "Plastic" gears generally don't require lubrication, or can be self-lubricating or have embedded lubricants so they are often used in consumer products to avoid maintenance requirements and cost. But there also are advanced "plastics" that might roundly outperform aluminum or even steel in a gear application too. The questions isnt so much about the gear but the engineering that went into selecting it.

Unfortunately the materials choice really is often purposely manipulated to shorten lifespan, and I have direct knowledge of it happening one time. I have a friend who has his own injection molding machines and manufactures a couple of products for a popular trade brands. When he started out, he was building everything with polycarbonate. After about 2 years the brand asked him to switch to ABS because their returns under the 1 year warranty were too low. The cost difference was immaterial too; the entire decision was made to shorten the lifespan of the product. They legitimately wanted it to break out of warranty so that people would be likely to return to buy another or buy something different. Sorry don't want to name the company, but it is a respected brand.

They were right about it lasting though. I have one of the OG polycarbonate units and it's now more than 20 years old!

Yeah, but you had to type "EOF" to get out of the "cat >>" sub-process, didn't you? There's probably no way to automate / hide that away... (?) Sure, it's pretty good the way it is already, but it bugs me that you have to type that bit that isn't what you want to note. (Who, me? What OCD?)
My point is that the writing on the bill isn't what actually makes the law enforceable. If Congress passed a law that required the mints to print the words "this is a flamingo" on every dollar bill, it wouldn't make it true. The fact that cash is required to be accepted is because of the law passed, not because the magic words on the bill say so.

Official hate speech policies and enforcement patterns on Reddit, Facebook and Twitter explicitly allow racist speech that targets whites. Facebook:

https://reason.com/volokh/2020/12/07/facebook-discriminating...

>In the first phase of the project, which was announced internally to a small group in October, engineers said they had changed the company's systems to deprioritize policing contemptuous comments about "whites," "men" and "Americans." Facebook still considers such attacks to be hate speech, and users can still report it to the company. However, the company's technology now treats them as "low-sensitivity"—or less likely to be harmful—so that they are no longer automatically deleted by the company's algorithms.

Twitter's stated policies are better, but they allow this kind of slander in practice:

https://twitter.com/AyannaPressley/status/129878054043122483...

Reddit:

https://reclaimthenet.org/reddit-hate-speech-majority-groups...

>While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority

Historically, Reddit in particular hosted extremely hateful subreddits against black people and other minorities. It seems they decided to correct this by inverting rather than eliminating racial bias. This is not a long-term recipe for social cohesion.

Why is tcp wrappers still there? The overlying theme of the SSH section is about going against upstream in the name of backwards compatibility, which it sounds like FreeBSD still does (albeit to a smaller degree).
>I know how darning is gonna turn out with my skills

It's going to suck super bad, and you are going to be super slow. And after a couple of socks it will be easy. The learning curve is a speed bump. Easy to get over when you move forward.
> There is a much deeper contradiction between cryptocurrency and the free software movement of which LWN is an outpost.

i agree. but for many in this community there’s also a contradiction to physical enforcement of some external value system onto someone operating in this open space.

if the surface of FOSS is something like “freedom to use, inspect, and modify the code you interact with”, then below that iceberg is many different thoughts on how that’s preserved. at the very least, there’s a camp that thinks freedom of association underpins this. “FOSS as a community and ideology can exist because its members are free to pursue that own goal of theirs. cryptocurrency isn’t contradictory to the underpinnings of FOSS, because the people who freely participate in FOSS for ideological reasons will freely choose to not embrace cryptocurrencies.” — is one possible voicing from under that iceberg.

here on the net we’ve enjoyed quite a few years of being able to build whatever we want, largely free from the forces felt in whatever physical society we come from. yes, there’s been things like the arms control of RSA, the DVD decryption key being made illegal to spread, and so on. those also came with plenty of meta-discussions like this one, and since then we’ve enjoyed a good decade where most of us really do feel free to build.

FOSS exists, among many other communities, because we’re operating within a larger sphere which doesn’t impose any one universal set of values. my worry is that we see an external value system be imposed on this underlying fabric. what are the odds this system will share my values? or be compatible with the values from which FOSS may emerge, for that matter? where then will i go but back underground?

In your example you have limited volume, not just area. But I agree, it's not relevant for the forseeable future.
Do they forbid adding capacity? I thought they basically finance the capacity in trade for the right to do first bid on any capacity for a certain timeframe. And they have the margins to just pay more than any competitor. AND they are also supply constraint. Ie it’s not that they buy stuff and then _not_ use it (on the contrary they are well known for carrying nearly no inventory)

If some other company is willing (or really: able) to make a competing offer, I’m not aware of TSMC not being interested in that. It just happens that the number of companies with the margins to spend what probably amounts to the GDP of a small nation is approximately zero (or one if you count Apple)
Damn, indeed. The Uncle Bob people (or, really, any "this book/blog post/whatever says to do technique x" people) are my absolute least favorite. This is a good riposte. Or, alternatively, if they don't understand why it's bad then you know they're a shit coder.

About as true a statement as Tor being primarily used for CSAM, and no-one actually caring about e2e encryption who isn't trying to hide from the law.

Earlier in May Bitcoin mixer blender.io was sanctioned for the same reason. While hacking and money laundering does not stop, small steps can be made to limit the exit liquidity for ransomware/scam/hack/phishing even without drastic KYC/AML/FATF travel rule measurement.

Because the alternative is that the regulators attempt compliance theater and you need to scan your passport every time you do a transaction and then your identity information is being stolen left and right.
I have used ProseMirror and TipTap. Arguably ProseMirror is significantly more advanced and mature than Quill and DraftJS. TipTap is a layer over ProseMirror with a slightly easer developer UX - ProseMirror can be quite a steep learning curve.

My suggestion would be, if the rich text editor is front and centre a major part of your app, or you are building Google Docs, ProseMirror is the way to go (or TipTap but be prepared to drop down to the ProseMirror api).

If the editor you are building is offering secondary functionality or is on the simpler end of the spectrum, say a text input for a chat app, use TipTap.

One of the nice things with TipTap is they have put significant effort into providing wrappers for all the major front end frameworks.

If you want real-time collaborative editing, TipTap and ProseMirror have first call support for Yjs, which is phenomenal.

I'd be careful about giving up the network capabilities. With NBD it's very useful to move the client and server apart, either having them both run in userspace on the same machine over a Unix domain socket or talking remotely over the network. For our case this is by far the most common use of NBD, we hardly use nbd.ko at all.
I had a GPD Win 2 for a while. It's a similar device, except targeted at gaming instead of productivity. I loved it! (I did occasionally use my Win 2 for productivity, but it was 99% for playing games.)

GPD's newer Win models are all more powerful, but they're also bigger and the Win 3 has a completely different form factor. They're good in their own ways, but I still miss the pocket-ability of the Win 2, and occasionally wish I hadn't sold mine.

There's a small group on the gpd_devices discord that throws around ideas for a "Win Min" - something in a similar size and form factor, but with upgraded specs. I'm not holding my breath, but I would love to see that.

No, what I said was very narrow — if you outspokenly condemn historic slavery in the US while profiting from companies that use slave labor, you’re the definition of a hypocrite.

There are “progressive” opinions unrelated which wouldn’t be hypocritical, eg, advocating for universal healthcare while profiting from slaves.

Edit: example related to healthcare here, since I hit the posting cap —

I think the closer example would be advocating for universal healthcare while receiving money from people who actively lobby against it to promote their product, eg, insurance companies.

But part of why they’re “hypocrites” rather than “sellouts” is their lack of speaking out against Chinese slavery, the way Enes Freedom has done.

The iPhone 14 with A16 will be announced September 7th it looks like. People will have them within a month from now. There is no way it can be N3 as it takes months from HVM start to actual devices hitting the shelves. The iPhone 14 has already millions of devices sitting in warehouses.

The A16 will be N4P I'd guess. In my initial comment I should have said A17 for N3 instead of A16.
In this case it's like if there were centuries of already written code with huge value, all written without comments. You don't want to limit the ability of programmers to read it. However things are very different in their dynamics: reading text without well separated paragraphs is mostly a matter of habit: a simple skill to achieve, so discouraging this ability has very little return. Lack of comments make reading code a lot harder in certain cases, especially since many informations in the comments are non local.

Also I'm not against proper formatting of posts. Just if it's not separated in paragraphs readers should so the small effort of doing it mentally, instead of complaining. Similarly I'm not against code comments (but strongly in favour).

Btw I replied for the sake of argumenting but the two things are not comparable. Just so this test: splitting text written by others in paragraphs is a very easy task you can do just reading the text one time. Commiting code you don't yet understand is impossible: many informations you should write are not implicitly in the code. It's the contrary actually: most good comments are about things that are not evident.
Didn’t realize open source wasn’t hobbled at all. Always assumed it would be missing features.
