So this is the crux of the disagreement. You believe that you either need maximum possible security or none at all, so when you need to be secure, it doesn’t matter if you have to use an inconvenient solution, because it’s that important. Whereas in reality there are a ton of less severe threat models that can be countered with more user-friendly methods of communication. Advertising companies, ISPs, local cops, etc won’t be able to read your Signal messages or find out who you’ve been talking to, and that can be important to many people. NSA or equivalent probably can, if they’re interested in you already, but that’s a concern for far less.
I remembered to send the documents to apply to university for master's degree in Computer Science about one hour before the deadline. Had I not done that I'd probably end up continuing my MBA degree and I would end up with master's that is essentially worthless due to market being oversaturated in my country. If I hadn't done that I'd most likely be stuck in some bullshit job making peanuts and hating life.
I’m more tempted to think the computers made them more productive and took away the complexity, allowing employers could pay them less.

Productivity is just a measure in how much people are paid after all

For aviation regulations there is no different between an active or passive tracker, the rules are not about takers.

The rules are about there being a lithium battery in it (there is) and whether it has a radio transmitter (it does, airtags transmit Bluetooth signals).

Lithium batteries are not allowed in checked baggage. Transmitters are allowed only if turned off.

Every other Saturday is different right now. On the Saturdays where I have the house to myself, I usually plan to write and sometimes it even happens.

Sometimes I write in a cafe, other times at home. Other times I spend too much time fiddling with formatting and catching up on plotting that I waste the day and don't end up writing much at all.

Today, I woke up at 9am. Put on my sunscreen, made the bed, fed the cats. Took one of my cats out for a morning walk. It is autumn and it's beautiful outside, perfect for a chilly scenic walk. Then, I got home and made instant coffee. Now I'm in my office trying to write, but instead fiddling with my writing software and writing this comment. I hope I'll get there.

On the Saturdays when I don't have the house to myself, usually my boyfriend and I have been biking or walking to a cafe. Last Saturday we spent some time working on our laptops (writing in my case), and then watched several episodes of Rings of Power. These Saturdays are less planned for me because it also depends on what he wants to do. This is our first time trying to live together, and I'm still a little less comfortable with these Saturdays. I'm uncertain in my planning of the day: not wanting to waste our time together by just being lazy every weekend, but also not wanting to feel a bunch of pressure to plan some big outing or something.

On the Saturdays like this one, where I'm alone and either finished writing or given up on trying to write, I'll probably watch some YouTube or a show on HBO, basically laze around and relax. I also hope to do some reading in the evening, if I can manage to put away the laptop.

Yep, I understood your point, and it is good to know that this presumed social score system is not particularly strict, but I asked out of curiosity on the reasons why you have such a high (IMHO) return rate.

As well another question is what is actually doing (or not doing) Amazon about the USB sticks/drives issues, the return rate of that should be something like 90% assuming that 5% of buyers fail to realize that the size is much smaller and - still say - another 5% buys them "for later use" and do not test them on arrival.

In a traditional brick and mortar store there would be someone monitoring the return rate for defects on any item for sale as - besides the loss of perceived reliability - there would be objectives costs for handling the returns.
I wonder how far it is that "how" and "what" become next "why".

The main tip for new and small instances is to use ActivityPub relays. There are curated lists in public git repos. They will make your public timeline pop, and allow your users to discover other users and instances to make real connections with.

So just allowing for personal connections will also work to federate but a lot slower.
— past that now because in hindsight the criticisms were… right. Largely fair and too-often blindly dismissed. Lockdowns had a devastating impact relative to the benefit, and we’re still suffering the effects. Motivated by fear, often accelerated by the power-mad. I think it’s lunacy to look back on that mess and imagine the strategy worth repeating. Let’s not gloss over this just because it’s “in the past”. Coded affiliation with the right is not a rational defense against skepticism of government policy. It’s a rhetorical defense aided by very loud bullhorns and media budgets, but hardly a rational one.
Free software doesn't need to be copyleft, which is what you're describing - eg, the FSF explicitly considers 3 clause BSD to be a free license. Similarly Open Source (as used by the OSI) doesn't require that you can incorporate into proprietary projects and it considers the GPL to be open source. Somewhat famously the definitions of the two terms are basically equivalent even though they're motivated quite differently.
Man I love uBO so fucking much.
I am a M1 Max user and I would love to have Apple go back to Intel.

Sure, the battery life and not overheating is great, but you are limited to Arm based solutions, when installing linux VMs for example. Or gaming. Everyone seems to have forgotten how awesome it was to be able to do everything on one machine.

It is a compromise I live with, not something I prefer.

And at least half of Apple’s benefit comes from process technology, where the gap will be closing very soon, if for no other reason than the fact that after 2nm there is not much more room to grow with silicon, so even laggards will have time to catch up on process and yields.

The would has been running on x86 for so long it’s a waste to just decide to rework so many chunks of it.

> I can use OPENSSL (MIT licensed) in a proprietary system

You can use LGPL libraries in proprietary software.

> MIT ... makes the code more widely spread and more "utilitarian"

Not for the end users and for developers that want to modify existing software. The "utility" is lost.

> a company can fork OPENSSL, add features to it, and ship it closed. But why would they?

It happens every day. Weak licenses allow freeloading.

> Equally SQLite has a public domain license and that does not seem to have hurt it in any way.

That's not the right metric. The people who are being hurt are developers and users who cannot buy a truly open phone/smartwatch/router/tv/car even if such devices are built on OSS.
This was discussed in an interview between Bryan Lunduke and the founder of Arca Noae which is sadly no longer online.

No - when you buy a copy of ArcaOS you get an OS/2 license. Arca Noae have an agreement with IBM to resell OS/2 licenses, they just don't have access to the source code.
Occam's Razor would suggest that Phoronix' benchmarks are broken.
This is a great suggestion but I wonder how it would hold in other languages both in terms of finding equivalent language elements as well as the weight of those language equivalents in that culture. Seems very English specific but arguably a large fraction of business is in English anyway.

I answer engineers from other companies all the time but never answer journalists. Engineers give a vibe of “cares about what you do and wants to collaborate”.

Talking to journalists is like talking to the police - as an engineer you don’t understand the situation well enough and you need to involve an (expensive) professional to navigate it.

The question going through my head when I get journalist emails is “can I ignore this and save the hours of work with legal/pr?”.
I think it already makes sense just by looking at computers. A computer ca. 2000 was a machine for productivity mostely. Sure you could play games, look at pictures, videos or similar things, but the whole design of everything in that computer was still very office like (cue pictures of people playing solitaire on windows xp).

Look at e.g. Windows 10/11 today. Open the Start menu at a default installation and you will get a much more time wasting User Interface, candy crush: I am looking at you.

Windows is no longer the operating system meant for professionals (even if you get the professional version), it is trying to sell you a sweet promise of a lazy joyful time at every corner.

Windows has tried to become more like IOS or Android, which are arguably systems designed for consumption more than production.

The internet has played it's role in all of this for sure, as it is no longer our bosses wallets they are after, but our attention and time.

How about "desert"? Wikipedia's "desert" article said for almost a year that the mean winter temperature in cold deserts, such as those found in Greenland and Antarctica, is typically between +4 and –2 °C.

False info inserted:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Desert&diff=prev&...

False info deleted: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Desert&diff=60327...

The desert article was classified as a "Good article" during that time and got about a million views. This is not an obscure article, nor was the article on Maurice Jarre at the time of his death, which is why the hoax instantly entered newspapers around the world.

So I accept your point to a degree: many of the topics mentioned in that article are very obscure, but even a high-visibility, highly trafficked article can contain absolute balderdash mixed in with solid information and really good writing.

I'm also not trying to make an argument against Wikipedia – I am a Wikipedian and I love Wikipedia, and use it daily, but it's important to be aware of its weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

> The OSI definition for open source is exactly the same as the FSF Free Software.

It is not. If it is, you should explain that to every other expert and lawyer involved in litigating the differences, because they're operating under a delusion.

They are mutually inclusive licenses, because OSI licensed stuff can always be relicensed to GPL (or anything else, really), and because OSI says that GPL is also OSI (although I don't understand why.)

But they're different. You have to share your changes in GPL if you distribute them. That's it. That's the difference.
As per other comments - this isn't a decline in productivity, but a decline in growth of productivity as the tech is adopted.

But I would argue that the internet has made people far more productive in many ways. Especially software people!
> Apple has a perpetual license so they don't have to pay a thing and can do what they want with it.

"Everybody" knows that Apple has an ARM architectural license, but AFAIU the terms haven't been disclosed. Presumably they got a sweeter deal than other ARM architectural licensees when they got rid of their ownership in ARM ages ago, but, "don't have to pay a thing" and "can do whatever they want" sounds a bit too sweet to be true?

> So, developing risc v in the background without committing to it, yet, makes a lot of sense.

TBH, I think Intel's interest in RISC-V is more about hurting ARM in the embedded market than about planning to sunset x86.
I think at this point not putting "in mice" in an article title like this is just dishonesty.

Over the years, I have acquired most of what people call seminal C books, and after reading them, I recommend the following two books to people who already know programming:

Peter A. Darnell and Philip E. Margolis
C - A Software Engineering Approach (3rd ed.)
https://www.amazon.com/Software-Engineering-Approach-Peter-D...

David Hanson
C Interfaces and Implementations: Techniques for Creating Reusable Software (!st ed.)
https://www.amazon.com/Interfaces-Implementations-Techniques...

The first is clearly written and focuses on ANSI C (lexis, syntax and semantics), with a healthy dose of software engineering education along the way, which you may already have. (It does not yet cover the latest ISO changes.)

The second book is a true gem that teaches even seasoned programmers how to implement correct, clean and portable components as libraries in ISO C, with plenty of source code to show how the true masters of the language craft the finest code you can in C.
Most books how fragments of linked list implementations, but only this book shows complete a whole range of important ADTs you cannot live without (e.g. List, Ring, Atom) in C portably, with strong typing, bullet-proof error handling etc. (Hanson is also the author of lcc, a portable C compiler.)

I'm actually surprised that these are both are so little known, and that the second one hasn't seen more editions.
I always kinda found that as a copout. Just so to keep using same name.
> But we still aren't very close to being able to see X-rays on our phones.

Patients can and clinicians can too with the likes of Intelerad’s offerings - but there are many others.

New Zealand has a fragmented system but it’s all slowly improving and depending on when and where your imaging was done, you can access it.

Far nastier than DICOM and it’s foibles is HL7 format. The RIS side of things is a cluster fuck and is more of a limitation than the image format.

I’m an imaging tech who dabbles in PACS administration (but is far from expert).
From 2019, looks interesting, but discusses some wasm changes that were under consideration at that time. It would be helpful to know if those got implemented. And I thought stack vm's had gone out of style: the current Lua VM is a register VM and they found that code density is about as good as the older stack VM.
All copyleft software is Free software (as defined by the FSF), but not all Free software is copyleft. So it's incorrect to say that all Free software licenses obligate you to share your changes to the source code. Permissive licenses like MIT and BSD are also Free software licenses according to the FSF.

See this explainer by the FSF: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html
I get why people are facinated by this sort of research, but pick your favorite nasty person, such as Putin, and consider what it would mean to radically extend their life.

People in in Congress (an oxymoron) would be there even longer as they generally have to die to get kicked out. The longer they're there, the less they care about you and the more they'll care about their long lived fellow travelers.
Lots of comment here about Intel adopting RISC-V or Arm and what this means for x86. I think it's worth considering the commercial issues from Intel's (and AMD's) perspective.

Firstly, adopting Arm would mean giving their blessing to an architecture that is now competing with x86 head on in key markets. That would only accelerate the demise of x86. So unless they have absolutely world beating products available on day 1, I don't think that's going to happen.

Secondly, adopting either architecture means that they would remove a key part of the 'x86 moat' and open up competition from anyone else with deep pockets who can put together a top quality silicon design team.

So I think it's likely that ultimately - whatever ISA they adopt - they will look for any way they can to distinguish themselves from the competition and avoid the commoditisation of their products.

Finally, just to add that supporting RISC-V - which is clearly competing successfully with Arm at the low end at the moment - helps to weaken a competitor so might be seen as a shrewd commercial move irrespective of any longer term plans.

Made me laught
I'm not sure if the author is a programmer as such, but there are a few inferences which seem unjustified to me.

For example,

> However, it is possible to reveal a very important detail about Satoshi Nakamoto’s personality. The fact that Satoshi chose the genesis block with a certain timestamp (which included the sentence in the UK Times article) makes one realize how much preparation and meticulousness was behind Satoshi’s identity.

This is immediately following a code snippet in which it is clear that some value must be hard-coded; it would be the work of seconds to think up a value that was funny or meaningful. I don't see why this indicates any preparation or meticulousness.

Another example:

> The other comment that arouses curiosity is this one: //// is this all we want to do if there's a file error like this?

> Who was Satoshi referring to when speaking in the plural?

Isn't this completely normal in programming? I only ever use the plural first person in code unless I'm specifically referring to myself as a human (in the same way that academic writing uses the plural).
If you want better baggage treatment on airlines, just stick a gun in checked baggage.

I have found that putting a gun in my checked baggage and declaring it gets my bag VERY special treatment. It gets special tagging and individual handling. Drop off in a special area. It doesn't go on the carousel, I have to go claim it with ID etc. Best part is this costs nothing. I know some photographers that learned this trick and check some camera gear this way, thousands of dollars of camera airlines don't care about (baggage thieves do) BUT you stick one cheap gun in there and declare it suddenly that bag gets VERY special treatment.

This assumes that you are legally allowed to posses the gun at both ends. You must declare the gun at check in and it must be in a approved lock box. Do your research before attempting this.
