I've had this conversation with many colleagues over the years. There's something about software development that makes them think a "simple" system is one with fewer concepts -- fewer data types[0], fewer separate libraries, fewer services[1].

If I'm lucky I can shift them into thinking about inputs and outputs instead of execution. One exercise that was sometimes successful was to reason by analogy to sculpture, and the concept of "negative space" in painting. In this model the program starts out being able to do anything, and it's the programmer's job to carve away the probability space until the only remaining behavior is the correct[2] one.

Another was forcing them to diagram the system with unlabelled boxes, and every line labelled by the data it carried. I would ask questions like "for this RPC, is it possible to determine if the response is correct?" -- you'd be amazed (or maybe not) how often the architecture was too generic to allow that. I think this is one of the less-advertised benefits of automated testing, even a trivial test imposes some restriction on the domain of input/output values.

[0] Most memorably, a monitoring system where all data (including numeric metrics and log lines) is represented as a frame of a distributed stack trace.

[1] A common outcome of this thinking is a big-ball-of-mud, where all of the logic in some sort of giant central executable. You see, it's "simple" because there's only one service (that does everything) and only one build artifact (that depends on all code), and only one test suite (which must run in totality on each change), and so on.

[2] "Correct" being an intentionally flimsy word. Some times it meant a 100-page spec with official test vectors, some times a unit test suite, some times just eyeballing the output in a terminal.
Are you sure all plants get to sell at spot price?

Doesn't that encourage collusion to generate artificial scarcity - all participants benefit from it?
I do not understand your argument. We do not use personal cars as often as USA or some other countries, instead relying more on public transportation and bikes - as a result, electricity costs for transportation are quite low for individual households. What's your point? That less than 25% of population do not eat healthy and this is somehow relevant to the conversation?
If TypeScript and VSCode are configured properly, it will suggest an auto-import that uses the absolute paths. In my experience, it can be a bit inconsistent though and sometimes it goes for the relative paths instead.
> put an upper cap on the size of companies

How would you measure “size”?

EDIT:

What do you mean by "cap" then? Would you force the company to be broken apart into smaller independent companies if it exceeded whatever cap is defined?
To the vast majority of the world, including large part of the West, USA is more hostile than China. So, who is “you”?
Why would it not pass? There's not a shortage of competition in the gaming sector.
Good to see that the new developers are continuing Mozilla's legacy.

I do have to agree tho. They force-upgraded from Enigmail to the built-in PGP support which ended up broken for me. Since no one uses PGP mail I haven't bothered looking for a fix...

Your thoughts have been reported for containing hate speech against Amazon.

13MP camera is nice. Specs are certainly much improved. Probably enough for daily driver.

My next phone though:

Next battery tech, solid state?

88mp front cam as this is the threshold for beating film.

depth cam that can 3d scan things for me.

Sure sounds like iphone will get there first, pine could beat them to it.
Yay even more monopolies in the gaming market.
> Here at fast.ai we use Jupyter for everything. All our tests, documentation, and module source code for all of our many libraries is entirely developed in notebooks

That sounds like a nightmare. Why would you want to develop a library in a jupyter notebook?

> The solution presented here is the result of years of work by many people.

It's a bit depressing that it came to this. It's hard not to think that it was a mistake from the beginning and that the format should have been based on using special comment markers in valid code, together with an accompanying JSON metadata file. Or something like that. One way or another, we have a very strong tradition of storing code in plain text files, not embedded in strings in JSON or otherwise embedded in any opaque format. Maybe there'll come a day when it's appropriate to abandon that to get some advantages, but I don't think that day was the original creation of Jupyter. I know it was created by thoughtful and expert software engineers, but I feel that it was a mistake and it's actually made a lot of data science / academia-oriented people less qualified to participate in industry software engineering, because of the poor practices forced upon them by the inability to use git with Jupyter, and notions like developing library code in notebook cells.
You also need to consider all the future signs as well in the equation.
It is getting harder to stay out of Amazon's view. I am setting up a new VLAN to contain my partner's Peloton, also on Amazon acquisition list, and the kids game boxes to ensure those devices can't probe my devices on the network.
The tax difference is WAY more than 10k a year. I'm not even a FAANG level income person, and my taxes are almost double in NL.

But as the original question was just about paying taxes, I didn't provide pro/con reasons for living in NL. I chose to live in NL, and I love having good public transport. However, 40-50% discount is not a normal thing. Even so, if you can avoid owning a car, it's cheaper to use public transport. But if like me you live in a village, you still need a car. And car ownership is much more expensive in NL than US. Of course fuel is much more expensive too, but most of us drive very fuel efficent cars here.

All together, the best reasons for living in NL vs US are safety, availability of public transport, and relatively lower income inequality. You give up a lot of $$ for those benefits, but I think it's worth it.

Now, when the moron entitlist farmers protest because they want to be allowed to maximize profit at the cost of regional and global pollution, and the NL government bends over and takes it all, that irks me greatly. So not everything is perfect.

You do save money on dining out, though, because most restaurants have bland food with poor service; thus, it's better to eat at home or at a friend's.

I share an Espanso package with my team of juniors and it is awesome.
I've not had OP's connectivity issues, so it works pretty well as a phone. Certainly better than my OpenMoko, which kept having audio issues requiring fiddling in /etc/alsa.conf

I agree about alarms; but like OP, I only use them when the phone's plugged in overnight, and hence not suspended. For ad-hoc alarms on the move, I just use my digital watch.
On my pinebook pro I had to flash the firmware on the keyboard and trackpad. Odd problem.
Of course it would pass. Amazon does not have significant market share in the video game market, much less a monopoly.
If you leave git diffs in your files, whether Jupyter notebooks or otherwise, and run/compile them... They will break.

If you give me a counter example, good for you, but my statement holds true 99%.
I don't think it's only about the gaming sector per se, it's about not allowing an already big behemoth (Amazon, in this case) to get even bigger.

It's a measure of strength.

And the ambition to reach unprecedented strength in a sport is emphatically not an 'unserious' or 'poor' goal: it's the motivation of all sporting champions.

2900 might seem arbitrary, but it's a symbolic level under the rating system we have.
The impact on the economy of the game makes it very difficult to play the game for free and even at the 50$/month mark you would be having a rough time because of the market.

The game is fun until you reach the point where the botting becomes impactful. Up until that point you can enjoy it for free with minimal impact from bots minus the inability to farm some horizontal progression content.
Education is the key to taking charge of your finances and building your personal wealth: everyone needs to learn how to invest in the stock market.

I also feel like that SpaceX hyperloop link could use this context:

> As I’ve written in my book, Musk admitted to his biographer Ashlee Vance that Hyperloop was all about trying to get legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in California—even though he had no plans to build it.

>

> Several years ago, Musk said that public transit was “a pain in the ass” where you were surrounded by strangers, including possible serial killers, to justify his opposition. But the futures sold to us by Musk and many others in Silicon Valley didn’t just suit their personal preferences. They were designed to meet business needs, and were the cause of just as many problems as they claimed to solve—if not more.

Ultimately you are asking how to cope with jealousy. The answer is different for everybody I suppose but the easiest answer is "don't be jealous". You are a married couple, you succeed or fail as a unit. The only thing stopping you from fully enjoying your mutual success if your own ego.

I think in any organization the size of NASA there will be politics and when it comes to a government body that depends on Senators for funding, even more.

I think a very important element of the story is that now NASA itself has heavy-lift capability. Whether the SLS allows NASA to fly the multiple flights per year, that's really a whole other budgeting and project decision. The multiple flights per year - whether in-house or commercial - will still depend on political appropriations and isn't only a technological issue as we know.

Ms Garver is quite open about her being a Space X fan and obviously they've done amazing things but there is something to be said about government having the technological skills to do this type of project versus just being an oversight organization.
> It’s still champagne, bourbon, balsamic vinegar

Oh, dear, balsamic vinegar.

I would like to taste real balsamic vinegar. It's cause for regret that there are two kinds of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena: stuff for cooking, and stuff for sipping, both of which have protected designations. The stuff for cooking is basically fake, containing stuff like caramel, and costs a tenner a bottle. The stuff for sipping costs £200 for a pint, and takes 12 years to make.

I'd like to know where I could buy just a snifter of the stuff, to taste.
What I take issue with is the demands of users, they're not the people doing the work.

If I'm doing the work and not getting paid for it, I decide what I work on. The users demands are an input, which has a value which is more than 0 but less than my freedom's value which is worth more than 0 to me.

We can all expect and want better, the question is the same people with the expectations are not the people doing the work and especially not the people paying.

In other words, you can demand whatever you want but if you're not prepared to put any effort into it, why should I?

It costs nothing to have an opinion or expectation or demand but it doesn't cost nothing to do the work required of that demand. There's no such thing as a free lunch and work isn't free.

Why should I drop everything for YOUR wants and demands? Who gave you that authority?

You say that as if the users are doing the worker or maintainer a favour. Objectively, adding users to a project adds more work to a project.

The favour is going to the users, not in the reverse direction.

I don't like it when people think they're doing me a favour when the reverse is true.

Users overvalue their value and underestimate their costs to the maintainer and don't want to pay for their costs. People are difficult.

> if the maintainer wants other people to invest time and effort using the software) they'll have to work for it.

I take issue with this, you're essentially saying that the maintainer pays again in effort to get users, to benefit users. What exactly is the maintainer getting in return for having users besides users? More work.
If a group has power to prevent other people from writing or saying things about them that they do not like, even otherwise legitimate scientific findings in a scientific journal, I would say it is proof that they DO have power.

Kind of like how Putin and Xi are able to prevent citizens in their respective countries to write bad things about them.

> Would we allow terminating pregnancy on the basis that the parents don't want to have a gay or lesbian child?

Let's assume we're both pro choice, why should a mother be forced to carry a child in her womb that she doesn't want to give birth to?

How would sexual orientation be different from having an abortion after getting pregnant because it contradicts with her vacation plans, career or maybe the father was not one she wanted to have babies with?

Ok, I do know why, because it's the same as when people do not want to allow abortion when a baby is likely to have Down's syndrome or some other condition when born, as it is seen as invalidating the identity of those who already born with the same condition.

In my opinion, though, as long as we prioritize the interests of the mother (lets say that most will do that at least for the first trimester), the mother should decide what conditions are justifiable for having the abortion.
I would have thought its to add a boat load of IP into their "Prime Gaming" play?
EA has been increasingly anti-consumer for years, notably through the proliferation of microtransactions, loot box mechanics, “Season Passes”, and half-finished base games with expensive DLC “expansions.” Highly unpopular brand, despite their commercial success.
What movie was that where there was only one large company that did everything? Kind of scary that we are almost at that point now.
> Is your concern more about the editors abusing their own guidelines in an unreasonable way, rather than the guidelines themselves?

My concern is the suppression of knowledge out of the fear of potential interpretations. That's the explicitly stated goal of the guidelines, and I see it as a bad, dangerous way of thinking about science.
Data may be their core business.
There's no law on the books against that, so you'd have to get congress to write one first.
I'm not living in Dijon. I speak about zoning law who segregate residential and industrial areas.
But I had a look at Amora factory and the first thing I notice is that there is no bike lane on the road leading to the factory, which is 3km from the village center. Actually there are no bike lane in the town of Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur. And I don't really see public transport around (no train, no tram, no bus stop in front).
This is a typical factory area in France designed to be reached by car only and I'm not fine with it.

Please check in Germany where you have factory in the city! Porsche factory in zuffenhausen, Mercedes factory in unterturckheim, Bosch factory in Feuerbach.

I was there from 2006 to 2012. The OS course (I think that's third or fourth semester) was being taught with Active Oberon.
Must have been in 2007 or 2008, so might have changed right after.
Eiffel, Oberon, Event-B are just the most notable examples of things that we were being taught that have never become mainstream.
If regulators that controlled anti-competitive behaviours existed, they'd forbid such acquisition.

1, Amazon runs the platform that sells the games - Amazon

2, Amazon runs the platform that people use while playing the games - Twitch

3, Amazon runs the platform that hosts the servers to play the games - AWS

4, Amazon runs the platform that you play the game on - Luna

5, Amazon runs the platform that creates the games - EA

how is this not anti-competition for anyone running a company that competes in only one of these fields..
Simple. Revenue. Tax a company's revenue progressively. (Of course it's complicated to implement this with companies owning companies, but you get the gist.)

I get the sense that IBRS wasn't used because Linus 1) didn't want to take on the responsibility of fixing something that needs to be fixed in hardware by Intel and 2) didn't want to help Intel avoid responsibility for shipping insecure hardware. The same way he's been antagonistic towards nVidia for being bad participants.
Amazon is still tiny compared to the enormous size and width of Samsung, that spans, Electronics, Electro-Mechanics, SDI, SDS, Engineering C&T, Heavy Industries, Life Insurance, Fire & Marine Insurance and more..

They already tried that where I live (northeastern Europe) since the government subsidized most of the installation cost.

Most of the businesses closed them last month after the market price of electricity for commercial users shot up by 10x.

There is zero chance of having enough solar on site to charge any meaningful number of cars simultaneously.
They did/do have Lumberyard. And I imagine that this means EA games will all use AWS for their cloud functions.
Lots, but I always think of Wall-E with "Buy n Large" (https://pixar.fandom.com/wiki/Buy_n_Large), it seems to be so close to where Amazon will be in 100 years if we let it. Particularly if you include Blue Origin as part of "Bezos/Amazon".

> Dysfunctional encryption (as in optional, easily downgradable)

Better than the HTTP mess where all URLs had to change until people realized that that didn't solve it anyway and had to bolt on HSTS and HSTS preload lists - we just need to add those for SMTP and optional encryption is no longer an issue.
Where is this coming from? Everything people submit is public?

you can say the same for 1-indexed, because from the get to go both existed.

Also it's not less precise, as there are many different kinds of offsets too. First you have element wise and byte wise and similar offsets, then offsets are inherently relative to something, and that's not always the first element. But could be an offset from the back and I have even seen a offset from one element before the first element in some very unusual use-cases.

The incentives in academia are different. The objective is to publish, code is important only insofar as it allows you to achieve that goal. This is not to say that academics can't code, but even if you are a professor who cares passionately about making high-quality software, you're fighting uphill, because that's not what you're being evaluated on.

If you want to make the argument about "two kinds of people", I think it's more about A-type/B-type data scientists in the industry. I'm really mostly a developer and not a data scientist, but when I assist in DS tasks I wear a distinct B-type hat, and that informs my perspective. A-type people have different priorities and that's fine; my gripe is when you try to import A-type practices in a B-type scenario.

Because they are power-hungry and everyone knows that.

More generally because the climate in central Europe is not like Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, California but hospitable during the summer season without AC.

AC makes it more comfortable during hot days but it is still doable without.

This is only true for private households. Since 10 years ACs are widely used in a business environment.
