I would say whether it's valuable is subjective: sometimes I want a more objective data-driven overview of trends, sometimes I want someone whom I've chosen to trust to provide partial views. Flagging it up front serves as much as a warning & disclaimer as it does a hook.

As for redundancy, they're technically synonymous but "curated" has become a much abused term and more often than not these days is erroneously used to mean "amassed and presented without endorsement". So I think the redundancy adds clarity here.

Not exactly fair in the extremism on both sides.

If you don't know about or consider alternate viewpoints could you really have productive discourse with a person that aligns with those viewpoints?

Most people that you'd meet or talk to that may disagree on LGBTQ aren't extremist, they are more along the lines of "a children's cartoon about dinosaurs shouldn't have multiple lesbian make out scenes" or "Disney is indoctrinating children", or "just because I wouldn't date someone of the opposite sex doesn't make me homophobic".

Shallow exposure to other experiences never told me much. People hold back out of fear of harassment in a place as public and algorithmically tuned toward creating negative experiences as Twitter. Mastodon and the fediverse improve on that slightly by not having the algorithm, but there's still harassment.

Ask most persons who text + drive and they will self-report their advanced multi-tasking skills.

It's yet another funny trend that goes around in tech circles. As someone originally from math, my personal pet peeve is the way that tech people use "orthogonal" these days.

I guess people just want to communicate the idea that this piece of opinionated text is biased. Of course, everything is biased, so opinionated is supposed to be redundant. So it's a signal that the author understands that they have biases, and expresses them.

>PMs are not essential for B2B.

It depends how you want to split things up. You can almost certainly move PM duties into other roles. Product Marketing can (and often does) handle competitive analysis and pricing. Engineers can certainly spend a chunk of their time meeting with customers, talking with the field, etc. But it will take time away from engineering.
Having done darkroom development for work, I can testify that film developing is toxic and creates significant amounts of hazardous waste that can't just go down the drain (anymore).

Whether or not that's a factor here is hard to say, but the decline in film use can only lead to lesser availability and higher prices for the chemicals it requires. Improved standards for waste management also make it more difficult and expensive to deal with the waste stream than it was 30 years ago.

Keep in mind lxd can manage two types of “containers” these days - the traditional cgroup-based kind that runs as its own set of processes on top of the hosts kernel with isolation, and traditional qemu-backed virtual machines.

You need a citation for the fact that hazardous chemicals are used in producing film stock?
I don't know how it is where you work (I guess working as a contractor skews things) but where I work this is how things go:

- some tasks are estimated
- a resource bound is set per sprint/per person
- tasks are picked for a sprint such that the resource bounds aren't exceeded.
- people work on those tasks until the next sprint.

Now, software engineering is notoriously hard to estimate. Hard to predict you can't work for 2 days because someone updated a package that totally follows semver except not really and it takes 3 days of debugging.

So tasks get estimated with a lot of slack because hitting the sprint targets is more important than doing more work. That's a process problem.

Even then what mostly happens is that some tasks end up wildly overestimated while others wildly underestimated, to the point they end up shifted to the next sprint (at which point one must question the whole exercise).

This all assumes the requirements for the tasks were in any way clear, often they aren't.

Either way, the outcome is that some weeks there simply isn't enough work assigned, while others there's too much. Sometimes there's an issue that's on someone to fix and everyone else is waiting for that before they can do their work.

What should they be doing with their time? Improve the tests? The docs? I guess, but unmotivated people doing boring work always ends up with a shitty output regardless of how many hours they dedicate to it.

Much better to trust people to get the job done, given them a reason why they do what they do, and set processes that let them work at a consistent pace. That's what Agile was originally all about.

FWIW I'm starting a Mutual Benefit Corporation. (It's non-profit, but not a charity.) It's not a coop, but the board works by a Quaker-inspired consensus model (rather than Robert's Rule of Order or something like that.)

I realized that I didn't want to start a regular startup. I want to do business, but without the pressure of maximizing profits.

We're going to do things like: create extremely simple and elegant computer systems; build robots to collect litter and clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch; acquire land and create parks that double as agriculturally productive "food forests"; build fancy hich-tech ecologically-integrated homes and shops; etc...

(If you were to trawl though my comment history you'd find me yammering on about all this for years now. I finally got my hands on a tiny bit of capital. In a rocket metaphor, this is ignition and liftoff. The engine is roaring and I'ma crack the sky.)

I'm curious about how you could use https://celtera.github.io/avendish for this. I've developed it to enable very easily creating media processors with the little reflection we can do currently in c++20; in my mind data gathering would not be too dissimilar of a task.

It makes me really sad reading about the objections to pack indexing as this library needs it a LOT (and currently, doing it with std::get<> or similar is pretty pretty bad and does not scale at all past 200 elements in terms of build time, compiler memory usage & debug build size)
> Cooperatives aren't nonprofit entities – they can be, sure, but many of them are profit-driven.

A tech consultancy cooperative works exactly like most non-profits: they don't post a profit and distribute everything as salaries. The "non-profit" part is for the entity, not the people running it.

Note that old life expectancy at birth figures were heavily biased by absolutely insane infant mortality rates.

I'm already terrified of the current US 6‰ infant mortality rate; the historical rate of 250-500‰ is incomprehensible to me.

Life expectancy at age 10+ in 1900 was closer to 60 years (total); still shortened by infection and accident, but not quite so extreme.

You’re either gonna be wasting money on rent or interest and interest rates are so bad you might be better off with rent.

I found a 450k home near me on Zillow. If I put 20% down today with a 30 year mortgage, include property taxes, home owner’s insurance and the $100/mo hoa fee I will spend $550k in interest, $210k in property taxes, $30k in hoa fees and $60k in homeowners insurance or $850k of money that isn’t equity over the lifetime of the loan.

My rent is $1400/mo in the same area. Let’s make it $2k to account for some inflation. I will spend $720k over 30 years and all my “equity” actually pays because it’s in the market and not my roof.

But wait that’s not at all realistic. I want to own a house! If me and my partner can save 5k/mo (which is actually low since that mortgage was gonna cost us 3.7k a month and be at most 30% of our cash flow) we can buy cash in about 8 years.

So we spend $192k in rent to get $450k of equity or we spend $550k to do the same.

And this isn’t theoretical either. I’m two years and 130k into this process. I would be further but I had to eat a high six figure medical bill which thankfully didn’t financially ruin me and cost nothing setting my clock back. And if that isn’t the biggest endorsement of this strategy I don’t know what is.
The problem you mentioned is decidable. Nobody other than you is talking about that problem. This is for two reasons. It is not theoretically interesting and it is not practically useful. Again, this is "if my grandma had wheels she'd be a lawnmower."

You keep insisting that this reframing can somehow lead to more efficient practical systems. It will not. As evidence, I point to five decades of research on practical static analysis where nobody has come to the conclusion that explicitly modeling the finite nature of real computers is useful in the slightest. The "additional tools at your disposal" are literally useless.

And if you ignore this property (as you now mention) then what have you gained through your reframing? Nothing. All you've done is added additional complexity to a problem formulation for no gain.

You keep hiding behind "might." This is just magical thinking.

Peter Jackson? If so, no. District 9 came out years after LOTR and Peter Jackson only produced it. The advertising however splashed his name all over the movie to try to associate it with LoTR so that more people would go and see it. "From the Director of a few car and shoe commercials, plus a couple of indie short films you definitely haven't seen" doesn't really have the same ring.

Fun fact. District 9 was born out of a failed attempt by Peter Jackson to make a Halo movie. Due to financing troubles the Halo movie ended being put on hold, but since they already had a team and all these sets in place they decided to use that to make a cheaper and quicker movie instead, and so District 9 was born.
Who is the rightful owner of a name or similarly, a piece of land, or an idea, patent?

The first settler?
The first settler that held it for at least a year, 10 or 100?
The most powerful entity claiming it?

In the modern western mind there is the notion that whoever grabs it first rightfully owns it. Which is a simple rule, but encourages squatting and holding but not using. The squatter can then hold ransom against somebody who would be the rightful owner.

At least with patents or electromagnetic spectrum there is a time of expiration. You come first and claim it for a few years after which it becomes public domain. Or we hold an auction each 5 years to maintain stable and efficient allocation of a finite and scarce resource.

With concepts like programming languages, the case with stronger base wins, like in the example of Go. People associate the Go label with Pike's Golang, not with the previous Go!.

Not if you’re running x86 emulation on an ARM host. It’s terribly slow.

EDIT: This is from experience. When I started using a M1 mac, our docker builds on x86 images took up to 5x or 10x longer vs running on an arm64 image. Had slightly faster, but similar results running my own docker host on Lima, or podman, or building without docker inside a UTM host which also uses qemu.

I think the pins aren’t ‘pinning’ specific points on the wood strips to specific locations, but just prevent the strip of wood from becoming a straight-lined strip of wood.

I think it directly relates. University or not, I’m pretty sure you’ll need to study some amount of computer science to do this.

And then slightly related- When I was in college, I was able to deep dive into subjects like higher-limit just intonation and schenkerian analysis (music theory).

So to what you’re saying, I think you’re right. When the parent of my original comment said “fail”, really that’s just “giving up”, whether it be lack of time, lack of interest, or a lack of creative problem solving.

Conveniently, of course, the US and Canada use NPT instead of BSP, the worldwide standard. Even if an NPT fitting and a BSP fitting are the same size, one won't screw into the other, since the threads have different shapes and are at different angles.
G-code is mostly a list of instructions that tell the machine how to move. As result, it can tell the machine to move in ways that might damage the machine, like bonking into itself or pushing the nozzle into the bed or print.

Not a huge deal in my opinion.
