The endless digressions about the evil of Apple were tiresome ten years ago. Yes, there is indeed a compelling case to be made that Apple is a force against rather than for software freedom. With that said, last I checked few if any people are compelled to purchase or use an Apple device.

Reasonable people could decide they don’t want to buy Apple products, but then you’re done: you didn’t buy one! :)

We feed them, house them, and give them medical care by paying them a living wage & making all these things affordable. Affordable enough so the norm is people being able to have a family.

This cannot be difficult for anyone to understand. Most people cannot afford this in the US (and many other “modernized” countries) — yet we have access to lightspeed comms, which enables mass organization.

It is only a matter of time before these injustices materialize insurgency.

Even land these days costs a fortune almost everywhere. land — undeveloped, with nothing. So legally, most people can’t even opt out in this country by buying a remote plot, building a little cabin and getting some peace and quiet. The paperwork and process is so convoluted with so many useless parties, and the asking prices for land that’s being squatted is unbelievable.

I think we are just at the end of the experience of a nation’s cycle. You cannot show people “with” what it’s like to be “without” so it simply cannot be understood. Those “with” rule because they have time to rule, and they always rule in their favor. It isn’t hard to imagine what proceeds from that.

I don't really understand how this relates to the article or to Apple.
The article describes unfair labor practices that puts one side (the service rep) at a heavy legal disadvantage which leads to them getting exploited. Apple has a "sort of" similar setup, with them deciding what goes onto the app store but I really can't see how these two situations would be comparable just yet.
I’ve listened twice now to the wonderful audiobook narration of Middlemarch by Juliet Stevenson. Highly recommended. Maybe someday I’ll get around to reading the novel in print.

One thing to remember is that this an old debate and there’s been a ton of astroturf on behalf of the fossil fuel industry since at least the 1980s. Those operatives rely on making things sound plausible so it’s not your fault for finding it interesting - making it sound that way is quite literally these guy’s jobs - but you’ll get their accumulated bad karma as people see it, recognize the source as a bad faith actor, and don’t want to spend their time rehashing something for the dozenth time.

I’d recommend searching a bit first but also avoid the sources like that who are trying to use your credibility on behalf of their clients. They will shed no tears for the cost to your reputation, which is deplorable but also predictable.

On the other hand, I would never become dependent on a solo developer or a small business for a critical part of my business.

I’ve been on both sides of the issue. I worked for a struggling startup that got one large customer who was 80% of our revenue. They insisted on the code being put in escrow and released to them under certain conditions.

When the company was sold for scraps, they exercised that clause and hired me as a contractor to help them transition.

On the other side, I was the dev lead at a company who was looking at using the software of a solo developer as a critical component to our business. I suggested the same clauses be a stipulation to us signing the contract. We were going to be 80% of his business.

I don't care too much for this superlative, unduly passionate style of pop culture critique even if it is a joke.

I enjoy reading negative critique of movies I like, as long as it shows understanding that reasonable people can disagree. This is not that.

> Racism is not a synonym for discrimination in general

That is true, sexism and ableism are not racism.

> it does specifically refer to the construction of "whiteness" in a largely western context.

It most certainly does not. In North Africa there are lots of racism between people based on their skin color. It is racism. On some French islands there are racism against white people based on the fact that they are white. It is racism. In Japan there is discrimination against people that look non-Japanese, be it white people, black people or even Koreans. It is racism.

The UN defines racism as:

> ... any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.

Whiteness has nothing to do with it. You don't need white people or westeners to have racism, other groups have managed on their own very well on that front.

As you said, it is important to not try to redefine racism from a mostly USA-centric view, because the world is bigger than that.
If you are not familiar with the local/state laws going into effect which legislate official identification and presentation in ways that impact trans people, they're particularly easy to Google.

after inflation is key; I've lived through double-digit myself and doubt any non-modulating strategy could handle that gracefully.
Most of this comes down to what the team/org wants and who has authority to tell you it’s not defined right or tightly coupled.

It definitely is loosely defined and the rules do get stretched to fit opinions though.
I've often thought this too, but there are several huge exceptions to this, whilst outside of tech there are plenty of similar examples.

First and foremost, there's the Exceptions:

Google: P/E is more or less 20, decades already

Microsoft: P/E is more or less 20, for a very long time

There are not actually that high. Compare to BABA (P/E is >200), IBM (P/E >100), JD (P/E >600)

And the reverse exceptions, non-tech with absurd P/E:

Tesla: P/E is 40 (down from ~500 I might add)

Boston Scientific: P/E is >100

and let's just shut up about crypto, because ... there's is a theme. Overwhelmingly the ridiculous valuations are financial companies and "semi-"government companies (meaning protected by government, but not benefitting the people of the country that government governs. Like BABA for example, or before their downfall, Theranos). If Tech becomes the P/E champion instead of "almost-but-not-quite" corruption companies that tend to dominate that, I feel that's a very good thing indeed.
A silly observation that didn't occur to me before today is that 1776 is 888+888. Kind of nice.

I'm with you. "Oh no look at that ableist piece of shit Andres Segovia with his ten fingers" give me a break. Chuck Close painted his giant portraits with what, one finger?

sorry if anyone is disabled and i hope they're able to get the support they need, but equating DIY with ableism only makes sense if your disability is "lazy and kind of a moron." and to be fair, i know plenty of people that suffer from this chronic condition, their art is pretty unnecessary, and they're often trying to ally themselves with whichever new protected class in order to garner kudos in ways other than being remarkable on their own merits.

i love this dumb premise, though. i'm going to continue thinking about it. damn, "thinking," how ableist of me... there are people in comas who can't think!

That's your problem. If you see your content flagged immediately your first course of action is complaining about it? Why not do the rational thing and google it so you can understand why other people flag it. As I said it's not my job to make you comprehend that the content you submitted is subpar quality. It's yours.
Beautifully written! Thanks for sharing, Leandro.
> First off, it's not dangerous. It's just loosely defined.

I'm not sure about this. Some people might take it at face value and end up with dozens if not hundreds of services for a domain that doesn't quite need them. Ergo, the project that they work on might have the development velocity plummet, because it has too much accidental complexity and ops overhead.

That's how you get humorous parody videos like these ("Microservices" by KRAZAM): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8OnoxKotPQ

As anyone who has ever seen SOLID or DRY taken as gospel, many people out there would probably agree with the claim that some general advice can definitely be dangerous.
If you didn't have to work, would you feel differently?

I find outside the US, where there is perhaps less focus on career, family is more of a primary focus. Personally most of the dread I'm familiar with is because of obligations elsewhere. Not having this obligations frees me to cherish time with kid, even if it's rough.

Kids are absolutely a lot of work. I find they are very reflective of the work, and the quality of the work, you put in. In America a lot of childcare is outsourced, which always felt strange to me.

Then again some people don't want to be full time parents, or parents at all, but still have kids. I don't totally understand that. If money were no object, I'd trade work for being with my kids full time in a heartbeat.
YJIT, Ruby's new JIT compiler, is from Shopify.
Heh, i do that about everything. It's a really big flaw of mine. I have the same response as you, trying to mitigate the thoughts.. but to no real avail.

Another fun example of looking at valuations versus actual real world production and output (real value delivered?): Tesla for a period was valued at a higher market cap than Toyota, the largest auto manufacturer in the world. Consider the real world infrastructure and output of Tesla, and the real world infrastructure and output of Toyota. Toyota is an order of magnitude larger operation.

So for Telsa's valuation to mate with it's real world ambition, it has be aiming to have it's operations as big as Toyota's, great! Being as big as Toyota would put it's market cap at... oh. Less than it currently is.
If by tech we mean everything touched by Moore's law, all this degrowth seems also to be a consequence of the lengthening of the doubling time in flops and words. Ultimately what you mean by normal growth would then be the replacement rate of your old computer by a new but not more powerful computer.

There is at least one subset of reals that are countable. The natural numbers are a subset of the reals, for example. I guess there is more than one such subset; say, every integer plus 0.1. If that works, then there is an infinite (and uncountable) number of subsets of the reals that are countable.

> Seems like most of the Ruby gains are related to memory usage.

That would be a welcome addition, especially with Rails where you typically end up running your web app, background worker and action cable as separate processes. That's (3) running services each booting up your application to some degree.

Combine that with most apps using very little CPU and more and more memory, it's nice to be able to reduce memory when you can to optimize the machines you host things on. It always feels dirty having a server using 60% memory and 5% CPU.
>Russia’s war with Ukraine will end (Putin is now agreeing to potentially think about negotiations)

"Potentially think about negotiations" is a long long way from the war ending.

Also Putin's terms are absurd. He wants to keep half of Ukraine while evading persecution for the crimes against humanity the Russian army caused against civilian population.

That's not gonna fly in Kiev, who wants all their territories back including Crimea, and the guilty parties held accountable at the Hague for their crimes, plus war reparations being paid, which is not gonna fly in Moscow.
I've taken long Amtrak trips twice in my life, and both times they were full of Amish. One day I will work up the chutzpah to go up and ask why the train is kosher and the plane isn't. Though, despite superficial similarity to the hassidics, something tells me they might not be as keen to openly debate religious principles in quite the same manner as Jewish people do.
Good question!

Another way of asking that is - why was so much effort put into squashing the story if there is nothing there of concern?
I started doing this about a year ago. Not because it takes longer to boot up, but because I was trying to see which single device was most often the solution.

In my setup there is a fiber modem (outside the house), a Wi-Fi router, and then all the connected devices.

Oddly, the one that I need to restart the most, seems to be my Mac. Realizing, of course, the problem could still be on the router side, but turning wifi on and off on the laptop usually solves my problem.

I rebooted one device at a time for about a year and made notes about each failure. I didn’t see the pattern until I had done this for a long time.
> the former has enough momentum behind it that it's safe to assume it doesn't simply wither away

Given that:

- The underlying SoC since RPi 3B (released six years ago) all supports AArch64.

- The Pi foundation refused to ship an AArch64 Raspbian image until early this year.

- The reason being "armv7 works on every RPi, aarch64 not, we don't have enough resource to maintain two archs".

I doubt it has enough momentum.
A thousand times this. I'm tired of having to reverse engineer the hardware I bought because the SoC vendor sits on their manuals and datasheets like a dragon on a pile of gold. Even if you are making your own SBCs and offering to write the drivers you run against walls. Apparently many embedded vendors don't want their stuff to be used or to work properly.
The only one I need from this list is optional generic arguments.

The `satisfies` syntax from 4.9 was a huge win, and the `const` indicator on generic arguments coming in 5.0 is huge for me.
Well, at least with Raspberry Pi, if there is a particular hardware feature, there is at least support for it from Raspbian/RPi foundation.

With many SBCs you're on your own if you need something besides "kernel boots, video output works" (e.g video encoding, MIPI input, GPU are often neglected on many SBCs with less momentum behind them).
I’m geniunely wondering what the audience is supposed to get from all the 2020 references (Covid, Among Us, Zoom, Twitch), and the barrage of celebrity name-drops. I feel like the film was written for some specific Twitter subculture Rian Johnson is a part of, and maybe they find all the references hilarious.

The mystery is dull, the dialogue obnoxious, the jokes unfunny, and the camera has that patented ugly digital Netflix look.

By the time the movie picks up about an hour in, I had long stopped caring. It’s a shame because I enjoyed the first one. It’s a shocking drop in quality.
They've been incrementally improving it over time. There are certainly still a few bits on roads where the traffic's higher than one might ideally like - the section around Pressagny-l'Orgueilleux is perhaps the most notorious (the villagers are _not_ happy about having a cycle route through their village!).
I am curious, is there any issue with just purchasing the license?

I started out using Obsidian just for university related stuff but found it incredibly useful, so I ended up purchasing the license myself. While I'm not a big fan of subscription software, 50$/year is extremely reasonable, especially considering that your data isn't trapped in someone's cloud.
I’m reminded of infantry soldiers
How difficult do you think it is for any developer to get a $100K job in any major city in the US?

My “self sufficient income stream” comes from always being employable and having a strong network.

Back in 2012, the company I worked for was struggling. Guess how much sleep I lost? I saved money and when layoffs happened, I called some recruiters and literally had another offer in less than a week.

That’s close to my experience since 1996 across 8 jobs. Admittedly until the current one, most of them were uninspiring CRUD jobs at companies no one ever heard of

GP is not defending illegal domestic surveillance of protest movements by the CIA. They are explaining that the CIA handing any domestic concerns it has to the FBI is what the law prescribes, not a circumvention of the law. Note that and we can recognize this is how the law works, and still condemn any unjust actions they partake in together or even the intelligence apparatus as a whole. Indeed, our objections would be better informed and more sound as a result.

This isn't apologia.
Can You Recommend a Toaster?
I am looking for a toaster with a specific requirement :
I want the bread-holding grid inside the toaster to be able
to handle bread of all sizes not have to go fishing for a

it seems like a very reasonnable requirement, I have not
been able to find any one like that in Europe.

Here are options you could consider if your career supports remote work, all with their perks:

-Move to the nearest city that will support your interests and allow for weekly visits. Make Saturday or Sunday a family day.

-Work from your parents' town during the week and escape to a place in the city on the weekend.

-Spend different seasons in different places. I'm moving to Tokyo for 3 months next year as a breather.

There are no answers that don't require sacrifice but life design is ripe for parallel thinking. Don't settle for preconceived options without having a go at some different ways of being.

- The war in Ukraine will be over.

- The inflation will not go down.

- More tech layoffs.

- OpenAI releases more products, gains even more popularity.

- China will keep improving self-sustainable energy alternatives, while we keep judging them and don't do anything about climate change; or, we do, but at a small scale compared to them.

- Apple releases an USB-C iPhone.

- Twitter will not fail as many predicted & will have more MAU than ever before Musk bought the company. Twitter Blue is globally released and many buy it, inspiring other social media platforms to do the same about their blue checkmarks.

> And wouldn't it be nice if Apple just for once helped out and opened up their hardware.

Considering M1 is directly derived from the SoCs that run the iPhone & iPad, Apple already did a complete 180° from how locked down their mobile platforms are. All the escape hatches to run third-party OS's are easily opened, there were post-release changes to the bootloader & tooling to make booting third-party kernels easier, etc.

We don't get any official docs, but unfortunately it's not like Apple has good docs even for the stuff they do actively support...
Pretty sure ‘valid’ was about registration; a valid entry in the database not a aspersion on the DNA. In the movie they state they’re looking for someone who is smart enough to have avoid registering all of these years. To avoid registration Vincent would have had to take even worse jobs than otherwise would have been afforded to him, similar to undocumented immigrants in the US today.
