As, of course, is jwz.

Smart people who we admire for their thinking and writing on technology can be embarrassingly shallow when it comes to other domains, and (as I’ve reluctantly learned over the decades) can be safely ignored when they opine obviously way out of their depth.

Annoyed because of the framing, that is: the answer isn't "wrong" in the first place.
Why do documentation links from sshguard.net redirect to wayback machine versions of sshguard.net? That is sketchy as all heck.
> It does no good to express personal quitting on platforms like this, as they were never meant to serve unpopular, non-wealthy, and uninfluential people like us.

Maybe, but Tim Bray has a lot of followers so explaining to them that he's leaving, why, and where he's going seems to make sense. One person like him leaving is no skin off of Musk's nose, sure. But if a lot of people that follow him think "Yeah, I'm thinking it's time to leave too..." it starts adding up as it cascades to their followers.

> The false narrative that any of these platforms offer us any potential beyond minor success or indentured work...

I think this is basically what Bray was saying. "Speaking as a random was-successful-on-Twitter person, I can see no good arguments for redirecting my voice into anyone else’s for-profit venture-funded algorithm-driven engagement-maximizing wet dream"

> After a quick scan of the judgement, it doesn't seem to consider the impact of stopping the mine on the rights of workers, energy consumers or the economy.

The rights of the economy (who?) are often at odds with the rights of workers - who in mining communities are often shafted when mine companies decide to shut down mines due to lower than optimal commodity prices. The landscape of Australia is strewn with abandoned mining communities, which once thrived, and who's wealth has been sent offshore due to a friendly tax regime which exists in service of the mythically important personage of the "economy".

Mines are not worker's friends, and mining companies certainly aren't.

I grew up in a mining community, I've lived in communities around Mackay and Moranbah. I salute this judgement.
Elon’s behavior in no ways aligns with traditional family values. Dude has children with multiple women and I believe his step mother is also his step sister or something like that.
Apparently you've never watched an Isle of Man road race.
Probably a good time to take on more debt. Even though interest rates are higher, the inflation will help you pay any new debt down quite quickly.
I think you’re missing the point. The right to roam is about the public having access to public land. Public land is paid for and supported by taxpayers, and is therefore theirs to enjoy.

Surrounding public land by privately held land, with no rights for the public to freely access it is just not right. It essentially becomes the domain of the land owner that controls access, which then becomes a form of market intervention by the government.

This is often a direct subsidisation of a private enterprise and should be opposed by the left because it denies equality and freedom of movement to the people that own the land. It should be opposed by the right as government intervention and interference. It only benefits the individual landowner.

Of course, this issue is magnified by the colonial concept of land ownership and ignores any preceding title or use of the land. This also prevents traditional owners from accessing sites of significance.

This is not a Nordic idea. Ideas similar the right to roam built many of the economies of new world countries. Cowboys and cattle drives in the US, Drovers in Australia relied on the free movement of men and stock over public and private land.

Finally, the land belongs to the people. Laws exist in many jurisdictions for governments to reclaim any land for any reason. Private ownership should be considered long term, but temporary. Denying access to something that the people own is undemocratic, unfair, and unnecessary. Access and maintenance shouldn’t be reduced to the cost of stewardship.
This is such a silly argument. Before the late 1800s cityfolk didn't even have electric light :p https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Street_Station
The Supreme Court is made up of humans, so I’m somewhat shocked when people are surprised they aren’t perfect.
These are just fossil fuel industry talking points. None of these things really matter in the end if we end up with a climate that kills us. The human race needs to grow a backbone and fix this problem instead of chickening out because it might hurt rich people.
There’s also just no way it’s statistically true. I love julia, and it is growing, but it’s growth is rather slow right now.
It's not just leave-me-alone individualism. It's this new, belligerent "Toxic Individualism" that's taken hold, supported by recent technological change (such as social media) and recent political/cultural change (many examples). A regular individualist simply prefers to operate on their own, outside of society and ignore collective activities. This new breed of individualism is more focused on attacking society and making it harder for people to take cooperative, collective action. Regular individualists are about working for themselves, where Toxic Individualists are more about deliberately working against society. "I don't want to be part of society" has become "Society is bad and you shouldn't have it either". I don't think this should be celebrated.
> I guess I should have made an announcement when I switched away from Gmail.

Didn't you tell people who had your old gmail address that you'd be moving to another email provider and give them the new email address? This is kind of like that. He's got a lot of followers so explaining the why and where he's going seems like it makes sense.

The MSFT experience was the exact opposite!

Some ideas:

Move?

Run a local linux user group, advertise on local boards

Just meet people online and do projects together remotely

Doing donuts in an intersection pushes the limits of our car infrastructure how exactly?
Extracted it directly from an orifice most likely.
I know you're not making those statements in good faith, but I'll still push back against the absurd generalizations. Of the top 20 biggest cities in America, what you said only applies to a couple of them at most.

Of course, crime, housing costs and traffic (caused in large part by bad urban design) are real issues in American cities to varying degrees. But it's not as if all cities are lawless slums without any way to move about.
Yeah, I won't argue that we made no progress. But most of the amazing life expectancy progress came from combatting infant mortality. As you can see from your own sources, the life expectancy of a senior adult only increased by a handful of years between the early 20th century and now. If anything I consider the progress in medicine to be lagging compared to progress made in most other areas like automation, transporation, communication etc.
That's an oversimplification. I would argue that the more technologically complex inventions had to go through multiple rounds of adjustments in order to be able to appeal to the masses. And those inventions that could not do that effectively remained very niche.

Having a hardware wallet solves very little for small-time investors (the 99%) as they are in this to speculate, not to keep their savings for the next several decades. With everything moving online, it's close to impossible to convince even more tech-savvy people to plug in a USB dongle every time they want to make a transaction. You could say that then it's their own fault if something goes wrong as they "don't own the keys", but historically this type of blame-game did not last. Government regulation and insurance is a much more effective way forward.

One thing I see that gets left out of this advice is that only works if you get a pay raise.

The whole idea that inflation eats into future debt assumes that your pay inflates alongside your expenses.

Inflation doesn't magically make debt cheaper, your rising salary does.

I wrote a python library for directly generating GCode when I was working at a university lab that needed more direct control over their very high end 3D printers. You can check it out here:

We need to apply bigger penalties and have better enforcement. We also could use some dialing down this aspect of pop-culture (movies and music in particular)

Comment to skorpeon87 [who is shadowbanned] who said:

"only fools could believe people are influenced by movies, music, and video games."

If that were true, then we would not see people protesting against misogyny or clamoring for more representation in the various media and producers would tell them to take a hike that it was disproven in the 90s.
Also some of the assets you buy with your debt (say, a house) are also potentially losing value with inflation (and higher rates) in the mix.
It's not massive at all when you compare the fines to the profits of this companies.
I'm no fan of stroads, but have been similar issues in Providence, where it's rare to see a street wider than four lanes, and usually not even that.
What's this about speed limits being lowered? I find that speed limits seem dangerously high in a lot of (non-highway) areas.
Further, your kids seeing you do these things will think you are the best at it or will be enthralled trying to emulate superior efforts with you. I can't paint. My painting efforts are embarrassing. My daughter, keen on painting, saw my horrific effort today and thought it was amazing. If we watched an artist on YouTube and then tried to paint together, she would absolutely enjoy that too.

If you don't have an internal appreciation of simple crafts (gardening, making something) then your children can help you find purpose in it.
Heroku can protect itself from abuse of its free tier by changing the rules - which they eventually did.

I'm sure that the only reason why they kept the free tier as long as they did was because it brought in enough users (who were eventually converted into paying customers) to be worth the cost.

"I started out coding in the mid-90s and refocused my career on Bitcoin and crypto in 2016 after leaving a very large software company in Seattle."

One of the major problems of modern-day life is that we are constantly bombarded with indicators of our status - in particular how low it is compared to the elites.

You might think that you could merely escape this by getting of social media, but in reality it's in the physical world too. Every single advertisement is trying to create a void in the viewer, in an attempt to get you to purchase their product. Every billboard, every TV ad, every time you walk into a supermarket... Even if ads don't work on you 99% of the time, the 1% that filter through to your subconscious can really wreck you.

John D. Rockefeller might have been poor compared to our times, in the same way that Julius Caesar or Genghis Khan was. But they didn't have the constant reminder of all the ways they were lacking. The average Roman soldier was 5'5", and I doubt many of them felt short. I've heard stories of men getting leg-lengthening surgery to go from 5'10" to 6'0", which if you don't know is an agonizing procedure of slowly getting your bones pulled beyond their maximum ability to stretch, which takes weeks or even months to even get back to being able to walk.

The all-too-easy answer to this is to just say "Well, comparison is the thief of joy, so just don't compare yourself". But if you want to compete in the job marketplace, or to be considered on dating apps, or just in general to participate in society it's almost a necessity to compare yourself to your peers. Obviously we should all be like the Buddha and not be drawn to comparison but it's a hell of a lot easier to do that when you're the guy on top.

I don't think I've ever found a single person, in real life or online, who never compares themselves to another person. So we should accept that equality in status (and not just in pure-stuff) is an essential ingredient to a happy, functional society.
I'm not sure how current that article is - in that article they state that the alacritty team had created an issue relating to latency[0] which was closed in favour of a different issue[1] which is still open.

The newer issue[1] appears to state that latency isn't an issue on Wayland as it already has frame scheduling support, but their proposed fix targets X11, MacOS and Windows.

I was quite surprised as I hadn't noticed any latency using alacritty, but I've been on Wayland for some time so that might be the reason.

These are called “sideshows”, and always have been. They started in Oakland a long time ago. The news media in Northern California has been reporting on them for years, always using the name “sideshow”.
They most commonly happen at urban intersections but have even popped up on freeways and bridges.
Being "a person who studies" is habitually lonely. In general the place to go to find like minds is in something that fits Douglas Adams' "new and exciting and you can probably get a career in it."

But it's not a place per-se so much as a series of meetings of the mind. That is, any scene where you are allowed to have a high quality of conversation could potentially apply; whatever art medium or form of technical discussion happens to be hot in your area will be your most likely option, which in a California beach town, could actually mean technical recreations like sailing or surfing have scooped up the interesting folks, because there's a scarcity of opportunity for that in most of the world.

The reason why you can't go just anywhere for any topic has a lot to do with bell curves, a little bit to do with forms of gatekeeping and generational knowledge(as topics become fashionable or not, a particular generation who got in at the right moment will end up being the experts), and a great deal to do with path dependencies in the sense of building on what's available.

In general, luminaries in many specialized fields of research, where they're known within the practice but a bit removed from public celebrity, are totally available through their email. All you have to do is have the courage to reach out and share something indicative of your passion - a question, a project, a review or comment on something they published. Worst case, they might ignore you or send a generic "thanks, go away" reply. But if you have something good, it can often work out that they see an interesting conversation and will ask for more.

I'm going to add a pretty cynical/self-centered take.

I do think most people would have some level of self anguish. However it would not be -$1 million worth of self anguish, especially considering it's someone you've never met and would've never met. (Honestly I would probably forget most of the time.)

It also wouldn't match the anguish of many many years of corporate golden handcuffs. When I think a million dollars I don't think "ah, cool" I think "this is a significant fraction of what it takes to buy my freedom".
Are you sure it's actually easy for police to stop illegal street races without starting dozens of high speed car cases? These street racers have fast cars, little regard for public safety, and no desire to let themselves be arrested. It doesn't seem so trivial to me, but you seem to think it's just a matter of police attitude.

Is it speech or is it inefficient sourcing practices? The fed doesn't want to buy from a company engaging in boycotts because it's paying a premium to exclude a certain segment of the market. If the cheapest manufacturer of a part is a boycotted country then a more expensive one must be sourced.

If a country really should be excluded from trade pass a sanction.
>Don’t do it because you think it will help you get a job (I’m not even sure parent is correct that it will).

As a hiring manager, the open source projects and blogs people sell on their CVs is impressive if it looks like self-motivated interest, and annoying if it looks thinly self-promotive. The two inherently intersect but when it skews to the extreme of self-selling it isn't taken as seriously from what I observe.
Here in the California central valley sideshows have picked up quite notably in the last five years or so. These aren't really about drag racing, it's more a bunch of cars showing up somewhere to show off and do donuts in some intersection.

A lot of injuries from people standing too close to spinning cars, and when the cops show up everyone races off, often causing accidents with complete innocents.

California has some new laws against the practice, so I guess we'll see where that goes.

https://timesofsandiego.com/crime/2022/09/19/governor-signs-...
Drag racers would find near empty stretches of highways to race on, even going to the lengths of setting up rolling roadblocks. That's different from doing donuts in a crowd of people.
> 90% of the cases are easy cases

I'll second this. For example, I can usually get away with simple and short lived TTL caches in varnish (with grace) for high traffic read only APIs. Flushing (invalidation) is automated since it just expires. It doesn't always fit, but often it does.
That is the future for AGI under capitalism. (See "Her" 2013 movie.)

A different path is for sufficiently advanced technology to help humans connect with each other and strengthen those connections, like organizing playdates for children (of course subtly enough that it doesn't come off as infantilizing). I don't think that can coexist with the attention economy though.
To guide the design of new educational technology, I recommend a set of well-worn principles derived from the science of how and what children learn.
Selling credits makes a hypocritical joke of Tesla’s mission statement. They should hold them instead. These are pollution indulgences. They undo all of the environmental benefits of owning a Tesla. Every Tesla sold enables another gas guzzling SUV to come into existence. So just buy the ICE SUV, it gets better range and refuels faster.
Spending money you don't have is being financially irresponsible, regardless of whether it's through credit cards or some other equivalent.

However, the financially irresponsible tend to blame the tool (eg credit cards) rather than becoming more responsible, and, in the case of this article, Gen Z seemed to have fallen prey to a similar tool but with a newer name.

I have a mortage in Poland. Base rates went from 1.5% to 6.75%. My mortage’s monthly payment went from 1792PLN to 3200 PLN (~715 USD), where 3000 PLN is interest. This is not big enough to bankrupt me, but 1000 PLN is a lot of money here and a lot of people feel the pressure so our govt enacted law that lets you move four rates in a year to the end of mortage for two years, effectively extending the mortage by 8 months, but at no base cost of mortage changing.

That rings very true. I always got nervous when I saw one of the heavy weights such as Stephen Hawking weighing in on topics such as AI or alien biology. Or Richard Dawkins commenting on politics.

I think people generally are interested in how they may apply their minds in other topics, and when they give the crowd what they want, they fall short.
