> The current Cabinet are fine, there are lots of very obviously competent people

Hah!
no it wasn't worse.

There are massive systemic issues in the country. Lack of housing, regional inequality, geographical inequality, falling real terms wages, chronic underfunding of R&D. Basically everything is falling apart. 40 years of financialisation of public services and nearly every aspect of our lives (there's virtually nothing you can do as part of your daily routine that doesn't trigger a transfer of wealth from public or household money to the top).
The Brexit vote itself was partially a reaction to these issues.

These things need real solutions and real ideas. Any ideas that even start to address them let alone reverse the issues will look radical, and Labour 2017 / 2019 was barely doing that just offering a mild social democratic platform that would not be out of place in Northern Europe or indeed in the 1983 SDP-Liberal manifesto.

Adding to that we would have had a planned and controlled Brexit, with certain Eu agreements being replaced with equivalent things with different names.

All of this is mostly academic though as the first restrictions in the pandemic would have given the key to removing a Corbyn government by an effective establishment coup.
> The persistent low-interest era meant lack of investment opportunities

Is that true?

Just putting your money on an index fund like S&P would've yielded you an average 14.5% per year in the last decade or an almost 400 % return in a decade.

Stock market more than doubled in the last 5 years and it highly outperformed crypto markets.

There has been no shortage of investment opportunities, but you people sound simply...looking for highly volatile quick gains.
I've of the opposite opinion. I read an insight in an article; it doesn't matter where it comes from, its still an insight.

The insight is from the paper to my head. The author doesn't have to matter.
The fact that avr-gcc exists at all is quite amazing though. It's allowed many people to get into embedded design without needing to purchase licenses for other proprietary compilers. It might not be the most optimal compiler, but sub-optimal does not mean incorrect. If you know enough to quibble with the code, and you're seeing performance issues like this, you can just inline your assembly into C.

AVR has historically been one of the best routes to get into embedded work because there is solid open-source tooling, interfacing the hardware is simple, and it's very well documented in the open by Atmel/Microchip. Arduino would not exist without avr-gcc.

No. The Nix approach lets you retain the reuse, and it can be extended to allow quick, unified security patching as well (which has been done already in the Guix project).

And if you really want a single redistributable binary, any existing package can easily be bundled into one without recompiling it.

Traditional static linking is strictly worse.
Surely there's some synergistic benefit? I would hardly use a search engine these days unless relevant searches pulled up a map (not to mention the associated restaurant reviews etc).

I think its possible that you could sell this processor but that you can't sell it as an Arm processor - in the recent Arm / Qualcomm case Arm seemed to rely heavily on trademark infringement rather than Qualcomm infringing their IP wrt the ISA.

Happy to be corrected though if I've got this wrong.
Is it possible that the same root causes also trigger cluster-b disorders?
I was unhappy with the performance, rough type support and general usability of construct[0], as well as the large amount of glue-code necessary when working with Python's built-in struct library directly. This project is a re-implementation of a minimal prototype I already used in production for over a year. My goal is to find a more balanced approach to translate between binary data and complex data types. The design works well for me so far, retaining enough performance while still being pleasant to work with.

The information for encoding/decoding is derived only from type annotations on (possibly nested) dataclasses. The annotations are flattened in order to create a single struct.Struct instance, which is used to efficiently pack/unpack the binary data.

The project is still in a fairly rough state, but I am very happy to get some feedback. Cheers!

My worry is bringing unions in the US tech industry will just accelerate off shoring especially with super fast growing companies like Deel

What are your thoughts?
You are 100% right, but I would not be as dismissive to the engineering team.

When you run a hardware startup, you can only hope for an experienced team that would do everything by the book and implement best practices from the very first production unit. Reality is: that’s a luxury for most hardware startup teams out there.

Typically, there’s a frantic rush to get your device to market that you simply skip, or more likely don’t even have time to think about stuff like climate chamber cycling.

One thing I’m almost sure of: these guys have learned something — the engineer’s way. Good chance there’s a guy there googling climate chambers to ask the CEO for a budget to buy one.

That might cause me to ask questions like how I felt about the message on the sign. If it was, say, my support for a political candidate I’d be calling the ACLU and local media. If, as in the case of Twitter, it was something untrue about the upcoming election left by someone at a party who I’d already had to ask to behave better, I would probably regret only that I hadn’t asked them to take their sign and leave earlier.

Somewhat relevant previous discussion: "We should have markdown rendered websites": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33548134

I think a major pro of browsers serving content in a limited markup language (with Gopher being the extreme example) is that a variety of applications can realistically work with rendering them, without having to offload everything to a web browser.

I've been wanting to write a simple markdown renderer so that I can view my notes/todo in a nicer form without having to generate a PDF or open by browser, so I'm very excited to take a look at this codebase later.

You are correct to identify that end to end encryption without control of the software is not perfect.

However, you have reduced the attack surface to the organisation distributing a signed and compromised version of their software to your phone. This is much less likely than any admin in the company looking at your stuff, or anyone who can hack into the company.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
People say this but every test case I've seen has proven otherwise. Static binaries load much faster. Maybe it depends on the size of the libraries involved an the quality of the OS' dynamic linking machinery (supposedly OSX has better runtime dynamic linking startup times than linux), but at the very least it is conditional, not a pure win.

I forget where I found the quote, but the older I get the more I apply it: "Don't expect people to change their minds, expect them to lose."

As a corollary, everyone knows they should change their minds based on new information, but shockingly few actually do or they only do it after it's too late. So if you find yourself working with/for someone who consistently and successfully changes their perspective based on new information, heavily weight keeping that person(s) around in your future plans.

And still you persist. Go read the definition you provided again. Then read my immediate reply where I pointed out they delisted people from search. That is literally a case where Twitter was "making their posts and comments no longer visible to other users" and they did so "without their knowledge".

That is shadowbanning by your own definition, and each ban was not disclosed and thus done in secret, because that's what it means to be shadowbanned.

There is a perfectly obvious interpretation of the language being used to describe this situation, and all you're doing is adding noise because people aren't using terms in the way you want while ignoring the substance. That's textbook bad faith arguing, which ironically is what you were accusing the original poster of doing.
I see a lot of negative comment on the other thread and on twitter so I feel the need to comment as well. It’d be great to get the perspective from someone who worked there, but I can offer mine as an outsider (worked on a different team at fb).

Back then, I would religiously read every workplace posts from Carmack (that wasn’t hidden to other orgs). I loved everything he was saying, I always found it really insightful. It also seemed clear (much before he went part time) that he was saying that on the outskirt of the project.

There’s a big culture of flatness at fb (and now meta). No titles are public, and you’re supposed to respect everybody’s opinion in the room. You’re supposed to lead without authority: by convincing people. You’re also quite free to explore things, as long as you can make a case for it.

There’s upsides and downsides to such environment. You can really multiply yourself if you create trust and clout. On the other hand, authority and a big title doesn’t always gives you room for directing a project.

I was always wondering how effective Carmack was going to be in such an environment. He doesn’t seem to be the type to lead, but I can see this happening in a small team, but an entire org that’s growing extremely quickly? For the kind of things he wanted to happen you’d have to make sure to hire people who cared about exactly the same kind of stuff, which doesn’t really happen when you’re in a diverse environment. Extremists must then spend their time pulling the group in one direction or the other.

I think unions in private companies have value. The unions at least know they can’t demand too much or their companies will be out of business. On the other hand, I don’t get unions in public institutions: the government is unlikely to go out of business, so what is possibly the check and balance of the unions?

Agreed that is a bad stance from a security standpoint. Security updates will always be coming , users can not be relied on to always update so you get sites that will never be updated and eventually hacked and spam/ scan / redirect to malware and create a bad experience. On your average shared host drupal would be set to write to itself anyway since php will run under the same username of the files. I guess permissions could be set lower to 444 to prevent this - but the fact Wordpress will auto update the core is essentially to security.

> left with stock market and crypto

I used to advocate for loosening accredited investor standards, and was involved in a 2014 effort that did so. Then I see this. Where public equities are put on the same pedestal as crypto (and implicitly, private equity), while the universe of commodities, fixed income, credit, real estate and their myriads of derivatives are ignored. Like, I dabble in angel investments. But they’re as risky as crypto, and require thousands of dollars of legal diligence per investment, even to do irresponsibly.

We have a gambling problem in our markets that’s been sold to everyday Americans under the guise of democratising finance. We don’t need to block people from being irresponsible. But there should be a low cap, in line with a responsible fraction of one’s wealth that could be burned in a casino, and strict exemptions guarded with exams, not a wealth test. Particularly for the socially useless forms, such as slot machines and crypto futures.

Oh boy are you in for a surprise:

"In its quarterly report, Coinbase added a risk disclosure: if the company were to file for bankruptcy, the court might treat customer assets that the exchange is custodian for -- their Bitcoin, Dogecoin or whatever -- as Coinbase’s assets. And they’d be at the back of the line for repayment, forcing normal people, unaccustomed to the ins and outs of federal bankruptcy court, to claw back their money along with everybody else owed money by the exchange."

This is vehemently untrue. You know that all GNOME applications will have the buttons in the same place (GNOME writes their own HID) but GTK doesn't have an HID.

That is a perfect example of what I mean by reform chatter being thin on substance. Impressive listing of problems. Incredibly hand-wavy on what to do about it:

>which will now require structural changes.

>needs fundamental reforms in multiple areas.

Everyone can see the problems. Everyone agrees there is need to reform. Actual viable game plans on how to fix it seem to be in short supply though. Current political elites (of all shades) are all about "we promise to make it better" rally slogans like increase trade, reduce redtape, boost growth etc. Those are aspirations not plans.

Reform UK (the party) in fairness has more precise language (and numbers) in their policies than labour/con, but even there it goes fuzzy on key aspects that determine viability. Funding for the very specific spending promises comes from very nebulous sources like "reduce wasteful spending". Not that it matters - small opposition parties can promise unicorns for all. By the time they reach enough votes to get to implementation the unicorn has morphed to a donkey with a superglued on horn.

Perhaps I'm just jaded & expect too much from politicians...
