You maybe of the hook if you use Linux >= 5.7.
And it seem that you are of the hook if you are a member of the Open Invention Network (OIN).

But SEGGER's embOS is not based on Linux and their costumers a OEMs themselves. So their costumers would need to be OIN members or pay royalties to MS.

Source? From what I've seen Electricity wholesale costs increasing for the last 8 years. Yes there are times of the year where the spot price is low, but the average cost continues to go up.
It's been some weeks since I read the article, but one of the pieces of content was how cheap 1 Kg of fentanyl was in Mexico and how much, from memory, something over $10 million, 1 Kg sold for on US streets.

That was some really good information, e.g., the street revenue is providing money enough to buy off likely some politicians.

There was more analytical content there, right, however no partial differential equations, than I saw anywhere else.

Sources? The common high school term paper writing standards want references to credible sources, hopefully primary. In this case, fentanyl from the Mexican drug cartels, the information is terrific and publishing sources might be dangerous.

For the article on the recession, there was good data that clearly established that, according to the usual definition of a recession, we are in one. As I recall, the data presented was detailed and proved the point. I'm not returning to read the piece again, but I was thrilled with how solid was the case made when I did read it.

Meanwhile I've seen a lot of words about recession in other media with never any actual definition given or actual data from good sources and responding to the definition. E.g., as I recall, some economists are quoted as predicting that we WILL be in a recession (suggesting that we are not yet, when the economist was quoted which was still after the article). To me, the other media just toss around recession while omitting any meaningful content.
My goal was to make it rain today and I achieved it.
You know about the Spanish Inquisition, right? Have you heard what Catholics say about it? They say that according to their records it wasn't that bad[0] and that the numbers are deliberately inflated by anti-Catholic sentiment.

It would be great if there were some other record keeper so we could ensure the church didn't "lose" any records that made them look bad.

But I'm sure you would have stopped any 3rd party back then who was setting out to transcribe the inquisitions' trials. After all, they were just giving the church yet another platform to spread their intolerance.

> Taking an established, OSS project and closing it destroys that community

No. If there is a vibrant community of developers, then that community can make the decision to fork. From the OP it seems like there is no community, just enterprise users that do not “give back” open source, which happens.

Even without the community, those enterprise users can create a new community of users to keep the current version maintained.

A similar situation occurs when a library supplier company goes under - which is one risk you take on whenever you depend on a commercially developed library (whether FLOSS or closed).
Looks ridiculous as hell, but interesting in terms of purpose. Curious to know if there's anything similar on the market. Something perhaps less ridiculous looking
This is done in tech, too: Scott McNealy famously raised the already-high prices of the new UltraSPARC powered Suns in the 90s because CPU production capacity was limited, and the products were wildly more popular than the company's expectations.

Rather than be faced with angry customers who couldn't take delivery, the price hike made sure that only the customers who really wanted the Ultra tech would be in line for it anyway. (It also removed incentives for the channel to illicitly take those higher margin dollars, when Sun needed them to grow capacity...)

FWIW, I've done between a half dozen to a dozen startups, some bootstrapped, some VC, and I can tell you that with very few exceptions, VC money is best avoided, or at least pushed out as far as possible. The chances of NOT getting pushed out as a technical founder (especially if you want to significantly influence what gets built and why) are pretty slim, and yeah, nothing wears you down quite like having to fight for influence in a company YOU created. Just dont' go there, unless you're really willing to put others in full charge of your baby.

There is nothing wrong with owning and running your own privately held company the way you see fit. (I had lunch recently with a founder who declined VC money because of the reasonable fear that the VCs would make his company "woke" (they pressed to rainbow-logo in June when negotiating the term sheet.) Since both the founders are fundamentally philosophically and religiously opposed to that worldview and will not tolerate it, they passed up the millions in seed/A to continue to grow organically. The company may grow a bit more slowly, but it will be a much stronger company growing it in a way the founders can live with.)
Only one person said it directly who I’m close with and is always candid. I also almost always received a short comment about having an Android when initially connecting with a woman both in real life and on dating apps.

The bigger ramifications were ones I noticed myself. I wasn’t included in group texts organizing things where I usually would have before. I was still invited to things. Just no longer part of the organization messages. It was very subtle things like that where you notice people are treating you slightly different than they used to. Nothing major or dealbreaking but enough to make you realize there’s something there if you’re observant.

It’s tough to explain but the circles I’m in are so used to iPhones, that deviating from normality causes people to perceive you as no longer part of the collective group.

Excuse this rethorical question, but is there any context where being overweight is something positive?

I agree that shaming people for being fat is counterproductive. But dismissing honest attempts at breaking the status quo under the pretense that it is insulting to fat people is really doing them a disservice.
I'm always on the hunt for a good programming font, and I opened the link and immediately thought "omg, no! i hatez this!". I didn't want to be mean and say so out loud, so it's nice to see the creator say "objectively terrible programming font", lol. As bad as it is for working with code, I could definitely see some very cool applications otherwise. Nice work op!
Even if you sell your IP, the fact that you developed it outside of the company (i.e. on your own laptop, using third party software with your personal account) poses some risk for them. Whether this risk is justified obviously depends on what you're developing, etc.

For their IP, companies like "clean" assets -- stuff developed by employees on company systems. This is also true from an operational standpoint (if they want to customize or integrate with other in-house systems), they'd rather be able to do that in-house.

I worked in-house for a company that would literally spend waaayyy more time/money on building tools than licensing or buying them from somewhere else just because they didn't want to deal with the risk/headache.

> 15 miles to a store? What kind of people drive that far to pick up so few items? Perhaps doing the big shopping you can go that far, but I definitely buy more stuff than 6 limes when I drive that far.

When you think about it, most populated areas in the US are rural, sparsely populated areas. It may be 20 miles to the nearest store, and that store may only be a 7-11. I feel lucky to have found a nice spot in a rural area that is only 8 miles to the Walmart, and that really hurt recently with gas prices, still does.

I disagree, or rather i think you're too absolute. My cousin was obese at 8 (after a car accident this parents started to eat a lot, and as the youngest he followed). He had prediabetes at 12 and that killed his hormonal balance. He now cannot be anything else than obese, even with calorie restrictions.

I know the rank & file almost universally consider management to be morons and how could anyone be so incompetent and stupid. Naturally, in the businesses I've run, I'd get regularly informed about how incompetent and stupid I am, and how a squirrel could do better.

Yet anyone can start their own business, and thus prove how much better they are. Some do (even though their employees think they're incompetent), most fail.

I remember in particular a woman who worked at Microsoft in the 1990s. We knew each other through mutual friends. She heaped ridicule on how I ran my business. I'd just bite my tongue. One day she quit Microsoft, having made a fortune in MSFT stock options. She invested it all in her startup. A year passed, and she lost it all.

While I gave her a lot of points for putting her money where her mouth was, it was a brutal lesson in how difficult running a business at a profit is.
I'm not saying you should just do random refactorings. What I am saying is that if you are fixing something, and realize that you can fix it while improving the code at the same time, it is typically worth it. Obviously if the refactoring is a huge undertaking, it's not going to be a great idea to pair it with a bug fix. But if your are smart about it, you can usually keep the code base clean/well-factored incrementally.

The problem with "quick" fixes is that they often end up being slower, because hacking a fix into a complex code base often creates new bugs/problems, and you end up rolling back your broken "fix".

> Only experience & practice give you ability to write good code.

I agree, which means that always writing shitty code to get it out the door means that you will only practice writing shitty code.

There's a balance to be found.
Realistically, you probably shouldn't. Zig seems to be positioning itself as a systems-level language—more of an alternative to C/C++/Rust than to Python/Go. If you're building low-level, high-performance software, it might be interesting to you; otherwise, I don't see a practical benefit.
Ive seen people "neglect" to offer training peers or document things before to protect their own position. Anecdotes and all that.

> According to Chomsky, Iran has been under sanctions and constant threat of being bombed by US & Israel since 1965.

Why 1965? The shah was there until 1979; we didn't have a particular beef with Iran while he was running it. Why 1965?

> The number 2-3 person in the country (head of the army) was killed by a missile a couple of years ago.

Head of the Revolutionary Guards, which is probably politically above the army. Yes, he was killed while in the act of meeting with a terrorist organization that attacks US military personnel.

I'd like to image a world with globally addressable devices, maybe that's through NAT hole punching or just IPv6 where we can share everything, but the way things are now, I really struggle to determine what's the legitimate use case for this technology if we ignore the interest in decentralization for it's own sake and just consider engineering tradeoffs like cost for performance and end user experience/ergonomics.

As a storage layer, there are major challenges to adoption IPFS that have persisted almost a decade in to the project. At this level of partition comes at an incredible cost to availability, and from everything I read, the best practices for hosting user generating content still involve paying a service to "pin" your content to ensure it doesn't get dropped, so you still pay someone to host your data!

So what I'd like to know, is why would I want to use IPFS to host anything, when better, more performant and cost effective alternatives exist, and IPFS doesn't guarantee a file is actually hosted? Like, are there words you can say to your boss to argue for IPFS as a rational choice in systems architecture? What is the use case here?

The "valorization" was for the worse, and that's Marx's point. If the workers actually received contentment from their labor, they wouldn't need any external validation. They'd just do it.

When Marx spoke about alienation, he was talking about industrial manufacturing, not producing commodities. Capitalism benefits from production lines, where you're working on a small piece of a product and don't feel ownership of the process. And you don't get financial benefit because any profits go to the people who own production lines.

Early 20th century communist revolutions happened in less industrial countries, on the idea that farmers and miners who owned the farms and mines themselves would get a larger share of the profits. But it never worked out that way, for a ton of reasons -- mismanagement being key, but really the fact that commodities don't produce the kinds of profits that drove Marx's theory. Marx's ideas of alienation were driven by highly profitable industrial manufacturing.

The world today is insanely more profitable than Marx ever dreamed, and that presents a lot more opportunities for workers to feel ownership. We have the luxury of supporting artisans -- including farmers who grow less food for more effort but offer other benefits, even if purely intangible ones.

I don't think there's ever going to be "artisan mining", and I don't think miners were ever going to be well accommodated in a Marxist society. The best you could hope for is turning the mines over to the workers and letting them profit.
> understood that managing down is much more important than managing up and (3) knew how to say "no" to upper management effectively.

Wait, saying "no" to upper management _is_ managing upwards. If you have a high performing team you can damned near ignore them as long as you're paying attention to what matters to them so that you can manage up effectively and keep bullshit off their place. If you have a team that needs a lot of help then yes, you have to focus on managing "down" -- but that's the less common scenario in my experience.

I suspect you're defining "managing up" as "brown-nosing" -- which is just managing up ineffectively. Being good at managing up and out is honestly the bulk of the job at most organizations; engineers can usually just do their thing.
Given that they may only hire a handful of interns each year, then that actually makes sense.

I have chosen Quake because (arbitrary order):

* codebase is well written, highly readable, well architected, there are tons of documentation and also a lot of existing ports to look at for inspiration and reference
* SW renderer -> meaning it runs everywhere, rewriting GL renderer to Metal or anything HW accelerated would be much more work
> if a single reference doesn't exist for something that is necessary for compliance, people get paged until it does.

And you will trust the reference like if it perfectly describes the reality. Because, really, there is no other way to deal with it. You can test a thing or two and improve it, but you can't test for the absence of necessary information.

The Facebook situation is inexcusable. But no company has perfect knowledge about this either ("perfect" here carrying a lot of weight).

> I do understand the reasoning (they don't want people committing poor quality code)

Not that this lint actually achieves that, or even prevents real errors. Go has the same, and it's so simplistic as to only be annoying. For instance not sure whether this fails in Zig but Go will allow this:

v1, err := Foo()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
v2, err := Bar(v1)
return v2, nil

Error of second call is never checked, but go has no issue with that, because it only tracks definitions per use.

v1, err := Foo()
v2, err := Bar(v1)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return v2, nil

also works fine, despite probably sending complete nonsense to Bar, for the same reason.

But then it's an absolute pain in the ass every time you're fucking around and stop using a debug import or whatever.

> Biological organisms are much better organized than us. We can do better.

If you’re referring to the fact that an organism like a human body can function with trillions of individual cells, it is indeed marvelous and quite well organized. But, cells and people are different. Cells in your body are all genetically identical, and lack any form of “individuality”. Indeed, they possess genetic fetters that will cause them to commit suicide should they become too unique, and should a cell manage to throw off all of those limitations they will become cancerous and potentially kill the entire host.

Regulating a large and diverse set of individuals is a much harder problem than regulating an army of clones, after all.
hmmm but how much of a performance gain is there from say CPython or even Go?

The syntax of Zig appears to be quite user friendly but not sure if there are hidden pitfalls.

I am excited for Zig but careful in adopting new languages but if this takes off, what sort of changes might we see? Cheaper C/C++ programmers?
