The problem is that there's always a valid textual projection for any graph, but there isn't always a valid graphical projection for any text.

Think like: your syntax highlighter has no idea what your code when you're in the middle of typing, because once you type an opening parenthesis without yet having typed a closing one, your code no longer has any possible valid parse.

Ideally, you shouldn't be able to modify the text in ways that don't represent an atomic graphical operation in the first place. But if you enforce that, you can't really say that the textual representation is the canonical one. It's just a storage projection.

These people were never born in Estonia, they were born in the USSR.

These people never spoke Estonian, and never tried to speak.

Nobody ever asked them to stay in Estonia and to pay taxes in Estonia.

They are always welcome to leave, if they don't want to fully integrate into the Estonian society by learning the official language of the country.

Fundamentally, the ethnic Estonians don't owe anything to the descendants of their occupiers.
> they have to bring in the talent from a non-secure area. The most sensible way to do that is by air.

Not disagreeing, but adding a few steps:

The most sensible way to bring in talent from a non-secure location is to construct the secure facility right next door to a fantastic place to live for that talent. The second most sensible way is to locate it within a commute-able distance of such a place.

When neither of those are options, then the sensible thing is to facilitate the commute.
Apple is more about high margins than market share though.
At the beginning of the pandemic, as a cost-saving measure my company did furloughs, which for most of us were mandatory unpaid days off two days a week for 6 weeks. We could take off Sun/Mon, Mon/Tues, Thurs/Fri, Fri/Sun, or Mon/Friday, depending on coverage and what made sense regionally. (Our middle east offices worked Sun-Thu normally, the Islamic weekend is Fri/Sat)

I have to say, only 3 days "at work" in a week felt just a bit too few, and I was often rushing to get everything done that had to get done that week.

On the other hand, on US holiday weeks with Monday offs, are fantastic feelings work-wise. I feel like I get basically the same amount done in the week, and the weekend is considerably more relaxing- still tired Friday night, but Sunday afternoon and night isn't a mad dash of "finish all chores that need to be done before the weekend wraps up"

Things would be different if my job was something more service-focused, like a doctor or dentist or hair stylist, where by definition they're going to be at 20% less productive if they're only seeing clients/patients/etc for 4 days a week instead of 5, so I'm not quite sure how as a society we balance that out, but I really wish 4 day weeks were much more the norm, and if I ever run my own company, that's what we're going to aim for.
I mean it can be both. Some people really struggle with that level of hand eye coordination. That's one of the reasons I really appreciated Overwatch. It gave a lot more options to play well that didn't require the ability to click on heads at all. This doesn't just help uncoordinated or less experiences players, but also players with disabilities of various sorts. The character Mercy for instance has a beam which heals or boosts damage but it locks onto a player so tight aim is rarely ever a concern and game sense becomes almost everything.
It definitely feels like a lot of current events lately, that don’t have any particular technology aspect. I’ve been flagging them. Hopefully that is the right thing to do.

I've personally sworn off discrete GPUs in laptops entirely. My direct and observational experience over a couple decades has been that they cause something like half the major problems in laptops, despite not being present in all of them. Your odds of not having any serious problems over, say, a five-year laptop lifespan are dramatically lower without a discrete GPU.

[EDIT] And that's even true for Apple laptops, IME.
I think the most important step towards flexible work hours in the US is decoupling health benefits from employers. Currently these benefits are essentially a flat cost per worker, and an incentive to squeeze the most out of each person.

If the two were decoupled, employees would more easily be able to adjust their work hours to their personal desires. If you want to work 20 hours per half pay, great. If you want to work 60 hours for 50% more, great.

Individual desires and needs very greatly among people, so such a system would allow a wider variety of people too meet their needs

There's a problematic "c" option whose domain could be served entirely with HTML and CSS but insist that some multi-megabyte JavaScript monstrosity is the only possible solution. So they weigh down every news article, blog post, and effectively static document with said JavaScript.

It's not a little more work, it's reimplementing things browsers and servers already do with JavaScript replacements. They deliver a naked script tag and then do everything in heavy JavaScript.
For me something more appropriate might be:

I'm not convinced Framework actually supports Linux, though. AFAICT, it supports Windows and can ship with no OS, and you have to do the rest yourself. To predictable end (e.g. having to deal with kernel parameters to make it work.)

The firmware involved is also distinctly non-trivial.
There is evidence that a not insignificant number of Israelis (European settlers) participating in the frequent state sponsored massacres of the indigenous Palestinian population are sadistic. E.g., The Israeli snipers wearing t-shirts during the Cast Lead massacre of Gaza civilians which pictured a pregnant women in the cross hairs of a rifle with the caption, "One shot two kills".

No. Israel is not unique in the horrors it inflicts upon innocent people. But, it is unique both in the recency of their colonialist project (the Palestinian's land was stolen from them, by the European settlers, within the lifetimes of some Palestinians), and in how Israel has weaponized historical European massacres of Jews to deflect criticism of its horrific practices. People should not give this a free pass.

It is not anti-Semitic to criticize, the state of Israel, the actions of its soldiers, its apartheid laws which grant rights to Jewish citizens that are not extended to non-jews (even the minority of Palestinians who did not flee their homes when the Jews forcibly were taking homes at gunpoint, and so are now considered Israeli citizens do not get the same rights as Jewish Israeli citizens), their extreme far-right government with theocratic influence which periodically engages in massacres of civilians, their racist Knesset (parliament) members who e.g., threatened one of the very few Palestinian-Israeli representatives with rape and murder for opposing their sadistic illegal (per international law) group punishment of Palestinian civilians. Remember when Netanyahu said, he was going to, "put the Palestinians on a diet"? This was a euphemism for Israel was going to starve them, since Israel controlls all borders into their open air prison-- sadistic?

Historically being horribly oppressed does not excuse horrible violent oppression of a population that had nothing to do with your own oppression. It would be like the Apache rounding up, at gunpoint, the Belgians into concentration camps, and settling into their former homes. Then, periodically engaging in massacres of unarmed Belgian civilians confined in the camps-- all the while referring to the historic massacres by the United States of Apache as an excuse for their violence against the Belgians (Yes, if it were Congolese, and not the Apache, they would have every justification to retaliate violently against Belgium, just as if world Jewry decided to retaliate against Germany, there would be justification, but to attack an innocent third party is simply not justifiable).

Only 10% of Israelis did not support Cast Lead, in a poll by Haaretz (an Israeli newspaper). So, sadly, it appears the massacres have the support of the vast majority of the settler population in spite of general knowledge of civilian (including child) casualties before the poll. Some might consider this sadistic too.

>It's not Linux's fault per se

It IS linux's fault, in the way that whenever someone new comes into the ecosystem and says "hey this important thing doesn't work well or is broken for me" and get accosted from all directions by crazy people who haven't touched mac or windows in 20 years who insist that what you describe isn't possible, linux is super easy to fix yourself (lol), and that ideas from computing in the 60s are unambiguously the best ideas ever made in computing.

The linux ecosystem doesn't even have a legitimate window manager. When people tell the linux world "hey there's an issue" the linux world always responds with "fuck off"

Who's the customer? How are they using it? Will it be a substitutable technology?

Don't trust the consensus in here, it's a very biased sample set.

You should probably familiarize yourself with basic product, sales and marketing books.

The problem is for these purposes software isn't a useful category. Infrastructure management is way different then say, creating bingo cards and it shouldn't be sold the same way.

I like to recommend Ries and trout 22 immutable laws of marketing as a first step. You can read it in literally an hour.

It's not free of bullshit but abstractly it's a good framework for thinking about products. Redefine "law" as "majoritarian observation" and it's basically now all correct

(Btw, the one minute manager series and stuff by seth godin are all, 100% complete bullshit along with probably 90% in these categories. But there's a few decent things. One that often gets overlooked in the whitelist of not-lies is Andy Grove of Intel - the bullshit dial is hovering around 0 on his stuff)
On a tangential note--do you like this home page as much as I do? It really draws me in as a programmer. I like all the code examples up front, and their mission statement ("A new approach to distributed programming/No more writing encoders and decoders at every network boundary") seems to be quite clear.

This is what I was doing in 2015 when my brain was fried with HTML and CSS and I was desperate to avoid having to learn even more syntax (PHP). I remember trying something like .shtml and .dhtml.

It didn't feel "real". I had never seen web pages with those extensions. Frankly, I hadn't even seen .html pages in several years because everybody edits the .htaccess file to prettify the URLs.

I ended up biting the bullet and going with PHP. Surprised to learn that there still isn't anything out of the box that handles this.

It did, considering much of the pasture lands and commons traditionally used by herders were enclosed, along with economics changing in order for people to afford things like taxes, rents/mortgages, and goods that were once made at home, or by craftsmen, that were now factory-produced and sold via commodity markets. Those economic changes necessitate the creation of surplus value to be sold in markets for money versus doing just enough work for subsistence.

You can see this change with the tenant farmer model. Traditional use of the commons was eliminated by privatization, and farmers then had to rent back smaller plots of land to sustain themselves. Tenant farmers now had rents to pay, so they had to create a surplus of value in order to afford that rent, and could no longer just engage in the subsistence farming they had done in the past, which meant doing more work.
It sounds like you're talking mostly about CRUD OLTP systems. Amazon in 1998 didn't actually have very many of those!

Consider instead what 1998 systems engineering looks like in the context of a Big Data OLAP data-warehouse (one where having denormalized replicas of it per service would cost multiples of your company's entire infra budget), where different services are built to either:

1. consume various reporting facilities of the same shared data-warehouse, adding layers of authentication, caching, API shaping, etc.; to then expose different APIs for other services to call. Think: BI; usage-based-billing reporting for invoice generation; etc.

2. abstract away Change Data Capture ETL of property tables from partners' smaller, more CRUD-y databases into your big shared data warehouse. (Think: product catalogues from book publishers), where the service owns an internal queue for robust at-least-once idempotent upserts into append-only DW tables.

At scale, an e-commerce storefront is more like banking (everything is CQRS; all data needs to be available in the same place so that realtime(!) use-cases can be built on top of joining gobs of different tables together) than it is like a forum or an issue-tracker.

There's a reason Amazon was the company to define the Dynamo architecture: their DW got so big it couldn't live on any one vertically-scaled cluster, so they had to transpose it all into a denormalized serverless key-value store (and do all the joins at query time) to keep those Big Data use-cases going!
power and responsibility go hand in hand.
Uh, I wouldn't consider that to be "supporting Linux" then. On a laptop - which isn't marketed as supporting anything other than Windows 11 - that has similar (but higher spec) hardware than the 12th gen framework I see anywhere between 8 to 20+ hours of battery life, greatly depending on load - largely equivalent to what it does running Windows.

The framework laptop would also seem to suffer from using user-replaceable DDR4 instead of, say, LPDDR5 like 12th gen compatriots generally do (higher performance, less power).
> Android's gotten a little better over the years

By breaking background services more and more with every release. By doing less, your battery lasts longer, but for what if you want to make use of that battery? (I'm an Android user because iOS is simply not an option for tinkering, but I am sour about the breakage with every version.)
> They run a not that complicated website.

That's not entirely true, the surge demand on their site is enormous. They pay for enormous capacity that is used only sporadically.
I would do this, but have it redirect to the original site. You could even add canonical tags in the head section so that Google sees it as a duplicate copy of the original site and doesn't index it. This basically makes their site not exist.

Then you can work on the DMCA takedown in parallel.

I know this is supposedly for babies but null is not empty.

and

As I understand it the peace proposal of 2000 gave the Palestinians only 66% of the West Bank, with those displaced previously thus being deprived of the property from which they had been displaced.

Other proposals have been of the same sort, and I do not see how the Palestinian Authority could accept such an agreement in a way that is in accordance with their duty to those displaced.

The question is with all these trial projects where organisations and even apparently entire countries experimented with shorter working weeks, is that despite the results consistently demonstrating the benefits, why in no case did it stick? (*) How long did it take for the 40-hour week to become almost universally established after the initial trials?
I'm definitely in favour of a trend towards a 4 day week (or even a 9 day fortnight), but I don't think I could ever be totally comfortable being the only guy in the office to do so (esp. if I expected to be paid the same amount!).

> Yeah I don't think it would work, even in principle. Being an idiot is not a crime, and you can't prosecute politicians for being grossly incompetent, unless they break the law.

Depends what you’re doing. Here in the UK, it is a crime to be an idiot if you’re a member of senior management in bank (there 10 or so “prescribed roles” that can only be held by a single individual at a time that are considered senior management).

Laws exists because wilful ignorance and deliberate idiocy was a large component of why no banker went to jail after 2008.
I once worked real 60-70h weeks, ca 4 weeks nonstop in order to meet a critical deadline. Probably took three days off in that timeframe.
