Relatedly, Twitter isn't going to throw a bake sale to try to stop from shutting down, it will get devoured as quickly as it files Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 and debt holders descend like vultures.

Most Mastodon instances are community run, and when they hit some rough straits in paying for their hosting some of them will have a (metaphorical) bake sale encouraging users to contribute to the hosting fund Patreon or will ask around if someone wants to take over the admin hot seat for a while.

For those concerned about the longevity of specific instances that's generally the answer: ask the community how the admin pays for things, look for their Patreon, consider chipping in what you can each month.
> Namedropping Peterson when he has 0 relevance to the conversation at hand

He absolutely has relevance considering he's the most recent prominent public figure pushing the Bible as "the foundational stories" without which we cannot live. Yes, there are others and it may be that OP arrived at this independently, but I've heard this most from his followers.

I acknowledge that I may've been slightly nudged by OP's unfounded "You have no time to waste on western civilization's foundational text?", which sounded extremely judgmental to me, but shouldn't have jumped on the bait.
Hard to say.

I am seeing the service economy wracked by a failure to invest in people, process and technology. Go to a restaurant, hair salon, pharmacy, or attempt to ride the bus (the one I ride in the morning has been canceled) and it is right in front of you.

I know just enough process science to be dangerous, but something I see in all of these cases is very long queues which themselves become a source of disruption and chaos. People seem to think that being willing to wait in line is a sign of maturity, but it is reduced to practice people seem to almost universally not understand that your doctor can't see more patients by making them wait longer.

I was at a Dunkin Donuts the other day and rather shocked that, because of a lack of hash browns, the kitchen was unable to serve any customers waiting in the drive through for almost 30 minutes.

The anti-inflationist would say the problem is that people have money in their pockets to order hash browns that the restaurant can't serve and if we crashed the economy hard enough demand would collapse below supply. My fear is that, without the capital being there to invest in people, process and technology, supply will collapse and we'll be stuck with an economy where "nothing works" but the level of demand keeps dropping.
Depends. 95% of candidates fit into a salary band. If you didn’t do that, the company would get ripped to shreds by lawsuits about pay equity.
You can still be a capitalist and a powerful, centralized, managerial state. That's called fascism.
No. I don't want them to see unfinished projects.
> If it makes you mad that job ads do not list salary, then there are good reasons and you will just have to get over or it not apply for that job.

If it makes recruiters and employers mad that they have to include salary ranges in their job listings, that's just too bad, and they will just have to get over it and follow the law.

Thankfully legislators are cracking down on this type of entitlement that's coming from recruiters and employers alike.

This is a welcome change! I always thought this was how Make worked anyway, until I tried it and it didn't. Unfortunately none of my coworkers using stock Make on their Macs can benefit, but I can also insist that they install v4.4 since they all have Homebrew already.

What's a use case for this? Is the idea that you can use it for explicitly sequencing build order of dependencies, without making them actually dependent on each other? Why would you want that?

The Turing Tarpit grows... do we have a Scheme interpreter in Make yet?

Do you think libel and defamation should be allowed? Those are restrictions on speech which rely on their being some identifiable truth.

I guess I just don't understand why saying "[individual X] is a criminal" is restricted but I can say "everyone in [group Y] is a criminal" without repercussion. Why does the broadening of the statement make it allowable? It seems just as easy to disprove and just as damaging to society.
And shreds it all at the end of the day before the tax guy shows up.

Though Quebec, Canada, had such a problem with “zappers” that would delete orders from the electronic system that every restaurant now must be online with the tax authority and every receipt has a tax authority response code on the top.
I think we live in a dangerous time. We have always disagreed on things and discussed and occasionally fought over them. This is healthy and needed (except any violence).

It is important to realize that even as we disagreed, we still used to agree on basic facts and then fought over what best to do next.

That is what is different now! We now live in a culture where any discussion can simply be ended with "Your facts are wrong", or "I have alternative facts". A reasonable discourse is not possible this way.

It takes just one "side" to take such a stance for society to fall into camps. I think that is what we see happening.
Like I said: tough tradeoffs.

Maybe now you can't easily access a ginormous cloud of AI-optimized processors (I don't actually know this is true, by the way. Anyone?).

A few years from now, maybe some large player will offer that, and Facebook / Google will be stuck with these big investments while their little competitors just pay for what they use.

I'm not taking a position one way or the other; just saying that it's always a hard call.
Every advisory of the US recognizes information war as a key strategy of their overall war, why on earth should the US gov ignore this and refuse to fight back?
Right, but it's the records that are standard, digital and transferrable; not the work. So what you end up optimizing for is producing paperwork.
I find it hard to see the point of Sony complaining about CoD being too important. According to Activision, CoD MW sold 33 million copies. If we say that each console (including PC) is equally distributed, that is 11 mill copies sold per platform, Sony has an install base of about 150 mill consoles vs 60 mill on Xbox, so not even 1 in 10 people that have a PS bought the best CoD in the last 5 years, yet they complain that it would make them loose players. I find it hard to see every one of those 11 mill players ditching their current games library and trophies to play only one game.

Then they complain about Game Pass becoming too good value and that they can't compete with that but they are locking third party titles under exclusivity deals and setting clauses with publishers prohibiting from putting their games on GP (especially JP publishers where they are a defacto monopoly)

Then there is the matter that CoD is nothing special overall, a military shooter with cinematic campaign and nice graphics, something that a good Developer team (like the ones Sony have) can replicate with enough founding.
not any more than a filesystem is an "Android feature" because Android also has a filesystem API.

Such APIs have been around since the 90s, if not earlier. MS OLE, OpenDoc, Classic Mac's "Publish and Subscribe" API, I'm pretty sure OpenStep had something similar (which would be Apple's IP today, and predates Android by half a millenium).
Do nothing. Point it out now and again I guess.
Either
a) most people are smart enough not to believe the first thing they read on the internet, or
b) the Russians and Chinese are right and democracy is a farcical sham for a people that's too dumb to rule itself.
In either case, doing nothing is appropriate. Actually, this dichotomy goes for most "free speech" debates. If you have to protect the citizenry from its own stupidity, you should probably reconsider this whole "voting" thing.

It's interesting seeing these concepts being created in real time. This seems like the sort of thing that will become popular in new york times articles in the near future.
1. My words are not a fist, and your eyes and ears are not your nose.

2. "There are no natural rights"-- Right and wrong exist independent of the capacity of Man to do evil. Rape is evil regardless of whether or not someone gets caught and prosecuted... or are you insinuating that it's OK as long as nobody ever finds out?
You are absolutely correct. Well, there goes that part. Eesh.
> Twenty years ago, PNG wasn't really supported by any popular browsers of the day, but it showed its capabilities (especially compared to GIF) and was eventually incorporated. I'm assuming that you'll also say to me "You planned to move your entire business to a feature that has thus far never been shipped by any browser?"

That's rewriting history a bit. There was a long gap between 1997 when png was added and when people started to really use it. A lot of it due to issues with transparency in internet explorer.

But yes, if you in 1996 said you were moving your entire business to png, i would similarly think that is an odd move.

More generally moving your business to something that doesn't exist yet is usually pretty dangerous. Moving your business to something that both doesn't exist and that nobody has promised to for sure implement seems downright risky.
How about any evidence at all?
Uri Bezmenov was telling the truth.
That's what I did in Sciter:

1. Added element.$("selector") and element.$$("selector") functions. Later one allows to work with JQ sets:

for(let el of parent.$$(".child"))
...

2. Added element.on("eventname" [,"selector"], handler) and element.off()

These two allow to reduce need for JQuery to almost zero.

Also added JSX as a built-in feature to JS/runtime. So,

function Child(props) {
return <p>Generated child {props.index}</p>;
}

function Main() {
const list = [1,2,3];
return <main>
{ list.map( el => <Child index={el} /> ) }
</main>
}

// add the list to the DOM:
document.body.append(<Main />);

These three simple things, together with elment.patch(...JSX...) eliminate need for as JQuery as ReactJS almost completely.
Just because American SWEs are able to exploit the current workers paradigm in the US due to eye-watering amounts of money from VCs and the state of ad-tech doesn't mean jack shit for any at-will salaried employee that isn't paid in truck-loads of equity.

There are states in the US where teacher's unions are out-lawed. US workers don't have rights. I have a feeling you might feel differently if not part of the segment of the working class that happens to be seeing benefits atm.
At what age is sensible to bring a kid for a diagnose on autism? I mean, I was told to bring in my 3 y old, but I find the risk of false positive is just too high.

I like translating such interactions into kindergarden-emotion-language to distill the intention.

On a side-note, I was in Boston this summer and it's so much more of an airy and accommodating place than I remember from 10-15 years ago. Lot's of the COVID traffic calming and patios still in place. Awesome, go Boston!
The article seems to be implying that mathematicians study knots because there's lots of fun to be had. This is partly true, but there's other more profound reasons. For example: higher dimensional algebra. The "usual" algebra is just one dimensional, but people have noticed that in many cases this is just a projection (shadow) of higher dimensional systems, where the symbols can interact in more than just a linear direction. And once you get to three dimensions hey presto your algebra can get knotted!

Tesla is currently engaged in litigation over allegedly firing employees without providing necessary 60 day notice period under California law, denying them pay as a result, so it would appear that Musk has precedent.

Transparency is literally one of the requirements for a theoretical efficient market. If buyers (companies) have asymmetrical information with sellers (laborers) there is room for inefficiency. Remove that and the market becomes more efficient.

This efficiency is seen as higher wages and lower profits, as we see with the skyrocketing in executive compensation after it was legally mandated to be public.
Some religious people say if there's no god, they will go kill all people. Is such truth worth the price?

It was the pragmatic choice at the time: the screen was reflective and featured four colors (really, shades of grey), but that was enough to allow the system to run for several hours on four AA batteries. It's closest competition, the Game Gear, featured a backlit color LCD, but it ran through its six AA batteries in an hour or two at most. There were other also-ran handhelds in that era (Wonderswan, Neo Geo Pocket), but the Game Boy was by far the most dominant system of that era. Nintendo didn't face any substantial competition until 2004/2005 with the PlayStation Portable, and even Sony didn't do all that well with its two portable units (the PSP sold okay but game sales dropped off once the system was hacked, the Vita was a dismal failure in both hardware and game sales).

The fact that Jonathan Swift was already complaining about this in 1710, should make us more skeptical of the idea that the internet or social media is this unique threat, that older ideas about freedom of speech don't apply anymore.

It's probably just to get them into the system asap. I've seen this at companies in the past -- someone gets input into the HR system with a role/title that has nothing to do with what they actually end up doing. One time the HR person screwed up and a lower-level data-entry guy was mistakenly listed above the CEO. I have a screenshot somewhere; some decent comedy for a few days until the CEO noticed.
Your fundamental confusion is that you keep equating economic activity with "money changing hands", which is wrong.
> Dylibs is for including 3rd party code at build time

Nope. You can decide how and where to load and call entirely at runtime. Check out manpages for dlopen, dlsym.

I don't know anything about this new feature of Apple's, but knowing the way they've been going for the last decade and change I would guess the unique thing is around sandboxing, out of process calls, etc.
This just tilts the scale of information asymmetry even more in the direction of employers than it already is.

One thing that's helpful is to study how real-world projects use Make. Try to understand them, and look up pieces you're missing from the reference material. You'll probably end up having to dive into autotools, too, for some of it.

You're disregarding the key distinction: Malevolent actors are (in Steve Bannon's words) flooding the zone with shit, which they're able to do at trivial cost. The rest of us shouldn't have to put up with that, forced to spend our time digging through the shit spread by those who, for their own purposes, want to sabotage our societal decision-making processes.
That much is guaranteed, so people get a second phone number for use during protests.

The important part is that employers post the maximum salary so that job seekers know what the budget is.

Employers should make a separate job ad for each pay grade, and they should provide a detailed explanation of how they determine salary. If the range is $150k to $250k, what are the criteria to make $250k? What's the difference between someone who makes $150k and $175k? That information belongs in the job posting.
Yes, although there are debugging techniques you can use to mitigate the issue. For instance, in debug builds, upon popping off an arena, zero all popped pages, and mark them as no-access.
Those are all right-wing ideas. "Classical liberalism" is a misleadingly named far-right ideology; it's diametrically opposed to progressivism.
I've set up Bitwarden granting time-delayed emergency access to a couple of family members.

I've also left a thumb drive with a Bitwarden export and printed paper in a safe place for my family, describing how to access everything important.

I trust my family not to abuse that, but if I was less trusting I'd look at Samir's Secret Sharing to ensure family members had to collaborate to retrieve my sensitive info. Or leave the data with a lawyer.

I made sure to pass on my 2FA secrets too.
With recent OS versions they’ve actually been rearchitecting a lot, all the way from the kernel to user space frameworks to enable those changes and down to things like their bootloaders. See DriverKit and ExtensionKit for some examples but there’s been several analysis of the OS updates each year.

I assume that’ll settle with time because you’re right that it’s not something that should be often. However that only applies to single code paths. The OS upgrades different things each year so it becomes frequent if you account for everything.

As for delays for older systems, that is unfortunate. It’s likely just a resourcing issue with all hands trying to get the newest OS to be stable since the goal is to keep users moving forward to architecturally more modern OS versions . The security patches for older systems are therefore a crutch till they can get those users onto the newer OS.
it could take gc disks.
That's just shitty software though. Good software gets out of the way and improves something. We could speculate on how to fix that scenario, but there's probably no incentive - in my experience there are fixations amongst tech people on profit-less ideas that end up getting squeezed awkwardly into applications such as bill splitting, digital ordering etc.

You Mac users and your coffee comparisons... there are free editors out there that would put Chime to shame. I'd rather use Coteditor if I want a MacOS-native editor, or BBedit if minimalism is paramount.

I don't think that's the case. The underlying issue is that while Btrfs is growing in popularity across the Linux space, Red Hat just hasn't attempted to staff for supporting Btrfs in RHEL. No staff to support it to the level they wish to offer technologies in RHEL means no Btrfs in RHEL.

I would hazard to say that is probably because they haven't experienced any requests for the filesystem from their customer base. If customers started specifically asking for it, I think that would change.

Numerically, I make substantially more than I did 5 years ago. In terms of relative value, while I do have a fancier title, I barely make more than I did when my job was easier. If someone were to ask me "what are you career goals", I'd struggle to tell them any at this point because I have little reason to do more than what I already do. What, I'm supposed to want to take on more responsibilities only to find the economy adjust itself so my lifestyle barely changes? I know some people have a frankly ridiculous form of workaholism that allows them to persevere, but I see them as the horse from Animal Farm. Eventually they will lose the energy to do what they do effectively and the system is not going to support them in proportion for their loyalty, to say the least.
