The author of this post conveniently neglects the fact that the third F also has a payment option: Pay someone to bug/sue/harrass the developer on your behalf until they succumb to preserve their sanity.

Out of all the payment options, this is likely to be the cheapest and most effective.

I agree scripting can be done top-level but it’d be shocking for it to be used for device management. These OS ideas are coming back to topics like microkernels, where you want to give applications part of the OS responsibility and hope they don’t crash you. I’d imagine that the scripting language can offload a lot of functions, but it’d just be glue on top of complicated accelerator mini-kernels, which themselves have native code programming e.g., some JSON state machine.

On most larger projects the 3 minute fix is more like 10-20 minutes depending on workflow, and they have many such issues in the backlog already. And most of the people who know your issue well enough to fix it that quickly are unpaid volunteers using their limited free time.

If you can ever actually encourage someone to fix something themselves, they just became a developer. They now have a non-zero chance of fixing other issues, or otherwise contributing. So it makes perfect sense to try and encourage people to contribute themselves, whenever possible.

What doesn't make sense is insisting when you could actually fix it yourself, you have time, motivation, etc, you just feel they don't deserve the fix.
I think we can discuss two things here, what will happen and what should happen.

For the "should" part, I think it'd be great if software would somehow expire, and then become free software, as in, code and assets too. I'm not a lawyer or anything but as artwork goes public domain after a while, so should software and its assets. It would be great "for the people" so that the experience wouldn't go away as abandonware and I'm sure projects would spring up that would make them playable again on current architecture - similar to how GOG started out originally.

For the "will happen" part, streaming services will go the Netflix way, work great for a short while (we're at this part I think), then the games would be pulled from third party services only to be played exlusively at specific services, while the first streaming only gaming sensation would spring up... so rent seeking basically, for gaming.

Are you able to share what text-to-speech or voice acting service you used to produce your videos? I'm working on producing some internal training videos for my workplace that may be released externally and since 'generic North American male voices' seem to poll best with viewers I was thinking I'd "re-dub" my content either using a voice actor or text-to-speech is real-sounding enough I'd use that to read my course content.
> True. But he's talking about a universal approach: removing the distraction instead of fighting it.

It's less universal than it seems. For example, people with ADHD become distractable if their task isn't sufficiently stimulating. If the environment doesn't already offer distractions, their brain will generate some itself.

Brain scans show that ADHD brains use inefficient subsystems to maintain focus, and don't quiet down the daydream subsystem during focus time. Removing distractions doesn't do much because the brain is neurologically happy to manufacture some.

This supports the GP's point: what someone else needs may not help you in particular at all. Someone like this is better off finding ways to keep work interesting, or structuring their day around bouts of interest instead of unbroken working sessions.

One way I’ve benefited from this is by using Epic’s free games deals. They’re a bit iffy over the summer, but during the holiday season they gave away a bunch of games like the Metro series, the Tomb Raider series etc. I have a founders subscription which makes it good value but even without, by maximising the free games potential and Steam sales etc, I have a great gaming library I can spin up in a minute or two without needing a gaming PC. Not had noticeable latency issues. YMMV as always, but if I ever decide to build a gaming PC, I have those games in my Steam or Epic library and can run them locally (and most games will sync saves etc. so no progress lost).

One game that really pissed me off was Elite: Frontiers because they decided they were no longer going to support macOS, but I was able to continue playing just by using GFN. So the argument of “once you’ve bought it once, you can play it forever” doesn’t really hold true for games you download and run locally in all cases either.

> I suppose that comes from the notion of WASP (White Anglo-saxon Protestant), and so they call non-white anyone who is not WASP?

"White" != "WASP": Catholics of Irish descent are definitely not "WASP": not Protestant; many would also say Celtic or Anglo-Celtic not Anglo-Saxon; yet they are considered "white".

Some people have this idea that "the Irish didn't use to be white", but that is historically very dubious: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...

Really what much of this comes from, I think, is some people in the US today are so focused on race, they will reinterpret other forms of cultural/ethnic discrimination as being racial – even though that doesn't make a lot of sense. The "Irish didn't use to be white" claim is retconning religious hatreds – anti-Irish sentiment in the 19th century US was primarily driven by anti-Catholicism – into racial ones.

This reinterpretation also reveals a narrowly US-centric view of the world: Australia is another country which received significant Irish immigration (10-30% of Australians have at least partial Irish ancestry, depending on how you measure it), yet "Irish aren't white" or "Irish didn't used to be white" is a thought which would have never occurred in Australia: Australia's historical racially discriminatory immigration policy (the "White Australia Policy") always counted Irish as "white"
Well I guess putting games on Steam for $70 would have prevented this but I guess not. Maybe Sony should increase the price of games to $80 and see how that goes.

And not that you could buy the PS5 for MSRP anyways because it's always bundled w/ something and on top of that the scarcity alone jacked up the prices.

> Just because you need a car at some point doesn't mean you always want a car forever.

Certainly, but I think it still sets up a certain tendency which gives car usage a headstart.

> And if you actually look into places like Netherlands you will see that lots of people don't have cars even with small kids. The 'Soccor mom with SUV' cliche in the US, is replaced in the Netherlands by the 'Bicycle mom' who brings here kids in on bicycles.

Absolutely, I'm not arguing that. I was mainly responding to the point that the behaviours and needs of parents with small kids supposedly don't matter because at any moment in time there aren't that many of them around.
Most of which are invalid due to Alice any way. The Supreme Court agrees with him.
On point. What does "white" mean anyways? In Spain for example there's a mix of iberian-celtic tribes, fenicians, greeks, romans, visigoths (which were germanic tribes), arabic (Al-Andalus califate lasted around 700 years and controlled more than half the iberian peninsula), etc and more recently instead of conquest, there's inmigration from South America, Africa, Asia...

> It isn't designed for or suitable for large projects.

Why? The compiler itself is written in AssemblyScript and is capable of bootstrapping. The AS code base is quite large. In addition, there are other quite large projects. For example: https://github.com/acutmore/type-off. It's port of "sucrase" project (which functionally equivalent to esbuild or swc)
Accents can be genuine communication barriers. It isn’t racist to acknowledge that or to desire to find ways to resolve those issues. That is, ways that don’t involve asking a person to repeat what they’ve said over and over or to have your issue completely misunderstood because the worker also has trouble understanding your accent.

There is a list of companies doing compiler work here: https://github.com/mgaudet/CompilerJobs . I would recommend surveying the ones that have openings, gathering the listed knowledge requirements, choosing the ones that come up most often and then learning that.
Cultural appropriation is an odd way to frame it for anything but inducing outrage. It's definitely a bit questionable and tricking people (and making e.g. scams easier) but there's also obvious benefits beyond tricking people - e.g. making it easier to understand call workers.
Yep, true. Stuff like Zig's famous MultiArrayList, where you write pretty simple Zig code to take apart and reify types and functions just doesn't seem to be much of a thing for Rust by design. Procedural macros also have build time issues, because the macro must be fully compiled before any code using it can be compiled (hence why they must be put in a separate crate), and as I understand it procedural macros only get TokenStreams, so if they want to work with Rust code, they must re-create the AST from tokens with their own parser. Unfortunately, derive macros also happen to be procedural and subject to those limitations, handy as they may be.

What I really like about Rust generics on the other hand is that, while limited in many ways, those limitations allow them to be complete in the sense that as far as types concerned, the generic signature is the law of the land; it'll compile with any type fulfilling the trait bounds, and the implementation behind the signature is fully limited to exactly what's provided by the trait bounds.
It makes sense. Knowing three similar languages is better than knowing one language three times as deep, because you start to see patterns, similarities and contrasts. It makes you more experienced and able to think outside the box, because you now know what the box looks like.
They are not making them sound white, what does white sound like? A Caucasian from Germany, Russia and Alabama all sound very different even when speaking English fluently. They are giving them a generic American accent. Its not a race thing, a large number of call centers are based out of India and for a good number of Americans the Indian accent is hard to understand. I personally have a very hard time with it and because I work in tech that is a disadvantage for me. There are also many Indian accents. Now to be clear, I mean 'India' as the country, there is no standard accent for people of Indian descent that grew up in Britain or Florida for example. With that said, that's my problem, the speakers are my co-workers and just as good or better than me at their jobs which is building software. After a couple of conversations, I adjust and I am able to communicate freely with them but its very much an adjustment on a per person bases. Again, though that's my problem, not theirs.

Now when dealing with call centers, many of them are sales focused and losing sales because your customer base can't understand your salesmen is a very real problem. Editing their accents to encourage more sales is not a race thing, because again, what does 'White' sound like? Its just smart business. Same with customer service, if an American calls in to get help from your company and they cant understand the person speaking with them they are going to get frustrated and the business is going to lose clients.

tldr: I wish everyone would stop making everything a race thing.
I've been thinking that a digital stamp could help a lot with email spams. Price it low enough so that it's not a big deal (maybe $0.01 per address on the receiver side?) but enough to enforce cost for spam + marketing emails. Email is an example where the cost of spam is mostly borne by the receiver in terms of time and effort.

When people used to say that Irish weren't white, it has nothing to do with what you just said, it had to do with them being the outsider subjugated class, they're akin to the other minorities at the time who were in the same situation. This is how they became known as non-white. Jews got the same rap during this time.

> Honestly I have no idea how's the fighting going there...it seems like we've reached peak interest a few months ago unfortunately. Russia can just keep Ukraine in this weak state, maybe fire a few rockets now and then.

This is not an option, due to the amount of lives and equipment lost I don't think Russia has the option to pull out. It's a bit hard to have 50k casualties and lose thousands of pieces armoured equipment, hundreds of planes and just be like 'actually that was for nothing'.

> Ukraine would still be a very dysfunctional country with the threat of Russian invasion always on the background

I think Russia has more of a problem the longer the war goes on Ukraine is already going to receive NASAMS and IRIS-T anti air equipment from the US and Germany, which would significantly change the balance in the ability for Ukraine to control the sky.

The weapons aren't going to stop until Ukraine wins, pulling out also means losing Crimea and all the other gains they had made from 2014 until prior to the full on invasion.

Ukraine is more than capable of hitting installations in Russia even in their current degraded state, I don't think anyones gonna let Russia go back over the line and wash their hands of it.

> What does Russia gain out of all this shit I have no idea but my point remains is that Russia can keep this up if it wants to

Can it though? Russia is quickly running out of pretty much everything, they aren't using T-62s (tanks that don't even have a autoloader, a staple of Russian and even USSR tanks) because they want to its because they have to. I think the systemic corruption in Russia means they cannot fight this war for that long, for more then now? sure, but for years? im not so sure.

> The average Russian citizen is either fine with what's happening (surprisingly many) or too afraid to do anything. It's very hard to predict but the chance of Russia making it like this cannot be ignored imo. If you want to this how a country can make it like this look at Iran.

The longer this goes on the more the average Russian will be affected, the more assets that will be seized, the more people that will be sanctioned and the more companies that will pull out.
I would like to know which universe everyone here lives in, where such scenario is a possibility.
Let’s say you use Kubernetes. A transitive dependency that does DNS resolution in a built in module is doing something wrong, like not resolving hosts ending with the letter X. You can’t “refactor to remove the dependency”, you can’t realistically maintain a fork of the whole thing. This is what the majority of these situations look like.
