Does it? For most companies their creditors are other businesses that they’re sourcing supplies from. What makes you think those businesses can afford to take the hit?

Ultimately most of the real creditors to small and medium businesses are other small and medium businesses. So if you offer no protection to them at all, you either get extremely risk adverse companies that refuse to offer any sort of credit (such as 30 day invoices), or a single business failure ends up causing a cascade of failures all of their suppliers take the hit, and also go out of business.

Ultimately increasing the trust between businesses, so they’re able to extend thing like 30 day invoices as standard, substantially improves the business climate. It reduces the barrier and risk of everyday business transactions, makes it easier for businesses to manage their cashflow, and ultimately allows businesses to grow faster and in more robust manner.

None of this is about protecting lenders like banks, or investors. Most of the time they screwed anyway, it’s about protecting other businesses who’s primary function isn’t financial risk management.
> Er, what exactly do you think "freely pooling together with other employees" looks like? A group of employees that negotiates together is a union.

In states without Right-to-work laws, once the union is in place, employees are NOT able to freely pool with other employees, they're restricted to pooling with ALL of the union members in that shop, or even multiple shops.
Restaurants have gotten more efficient over time? I don't think so. Not enough to explain why their price is so different from education or housing.

Class sizes haven't gone down in colleges, admin costs have gone up though.

What's common between them is they're essential services and the government increases their affordability. Student loans, mortgage interest deduction, tax breaks on healthcare spending (HSA, etc).
Retail is never cushy, no matter what you're selling. You're always viewed as a low value employee and very replaceable which justifies offering really low pay and low benefits, if any.

Not to mention many customers of retail stores behave outrageously badly, and as the front line staff you're going to bear the brunt of it.

Road projects are funded by the government at some level - taxes and municipal bonds. I'm not sure how that would work for software which has a potentially worldwide audience.

There's also the "what gets built" is determined by the government. So, office products get funded - but not games (unless you're fortunate enough to get a government grant https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2162800/view/3729584... ).

And do you want to run a government funded operating system and web browser?

I don't see a model where this works... unless you're thinking of toll roads as micro transactions and advertiser supported billboards while playing games.
Some background on these ratings, quoted directly from their website:

> TIOBE Software BV was founded the 1st of October 2000 by Paul Jansen. The name TIOBE stands for “The Importance Of Being Earnest”.

> Since there are many questions about the way the TIOBE index is assembled, a special page is devoted to its definition. Basically the calculation comes down to counting hits for the search query +"<language> programming"

> Popular search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo!, Wikipedia, Amazon, YouTube and Baidu are used to calculate the ratings.
> focus largely on 10s of millions to billion tier, the obviously misbegotten gains that western court system would look retarded to pretend otherwise

Well yes, but they are only after the misbegotten gains of the people who currently don't have the favor of the party/Winnie-the-Pooh. So either western countries have to become tools for the Chinese "judicial system" or they have to start investigating these alleged crimes themselves to determine which are legit and which are political motivated (problem is that most are probably both...).

Neither seems like a great option...

Besides this I mostly agree on your take on this whole situation overall though.
We make distinction between humans and computers all the time. They function distinctively different. For example I can "turn off" a computer, but it would be illegal to do with a person.

More seriously and closely to the case at hand. I need a licence to copy a program into memory on the computer, I don't need that licence to do that for a human. So why should there not be a difference for the material they output.
IASO: A Fail-Slow Detection and Mitigation Framework for Storage Services
What the author is describing is known as "friction" or the "fog of war" has first expounded by Clausewitz. Everything is simple and straight-forward when you are dealing with your immediate team of a few people. The same task is extraordinarily difficult when you have to collaborate outside of your team, or have someone actively opposing you or trying to deceive you. You are also assuming the "people" will behave in a certain way. Your company can treat front line workers like robots and must follow a certain script. Or you company can treat front line workers like independent thinkers and empower them to make limited decisions.

IMO. None of this really matters. What matters is correctly diagnosing the problem in the first place. And correctly diagnosing the capabilities of your tools and your employees. Once you have an accurate picture of the problem, the solution will come readily. The problem is no one wants to admit their short comings or limitations. They will always say they can do everything you ask of them. Then you tell them about the budget and limited time frame. And they still say they can do everything. What we need is productive candor.

For clarification regarding what I mean with menu and output will not display the disconnect command will still work but there will be no feedback. So disconnecting will work but one won't get the menu or feedback on changing verbosity or dropping to a command line or displaying forwarded connections, etc... and a few of the sub-commands will not work.

We could go back to bad old days, where business owners were directly exposed to their creditors. Business fails, say goodbye to home, car, personal savings. If that’s not enough, off to the debtors prison with you, you can work till you’ve repaid your business debts.
Thankfully I’ve never been charged with keeping any serious PII in an S3 bucket, because the permissions have always worried me, and I’d probably be considered an expert with IAM policies.

> China is reportedly considering suspending the export of "certain rare-earth magnet technology" [...] The US, which is heavily dependent on China for rare earths, has been scrambling to find ways to keep its supply chain open

> Contrary to what their name suggests, rare earths are abundant[: t]hey are three times more plentiful than copper and twice more than zinc, the two most commonly used industrial metals. // There are an estimated 120 million tons of rare earth deposits worldwide, and the bulk of 44 million tons is in China. // Refining rare earths, however, is a tedious, toxic process. It creates a dangerous cocktail of wastewater, heavy metals and substances such as cadmium, lead and radioactive thorium

> In 2010, China froze exports of rare earths to Japan for two years following a dispute over the Senaku Islands. // Since then, Japan and its Western allies ... have been keeping their R&D labs busy looking for ways to develop their own sources of rare earths. // Japan has decided to focus its search not on land, but offshore[; a] recent Japanese study claims that an estimated 16 million tons of rare earths could be extracted from the oceans, enough to supply global demand on a "semi-infinite" basis

No, and why do people insist on trying to redefine the word art to encompass everything and anything? If everything is art, then nothing is art. Is that the goal? To eradicate art from the world?

If you take a photograph of another person's photograph and claim it as your own and sell it, you are stealing. Just as the "artist" discussed here.

Method Overloading the Circuit
From Fedora CoreOS docs: “ When an update is complete, the previous OS deployment remains on disk. If an update causes issues, you can use it as a fallback.”

IIRC RHEL now has tooling for automatic rebooting into the old version when checks are failed. Not sure how hard that is to do with Fedora CoreOS.

Guess I’m not sure what functions are missing in these implementations that would cause you to lose sleep.

Yeah, subprime. You cannot compare them with the people who founded CERN https://home.cern/about/who-we-are/our-people. But maybe our understanding of subprime are different? I didn't want to offend them, for me subprime means "being of less than top quality", which means good, but not great. Great but not excellent. So yeah, they are good researchers, some of them are good software developers, but IMO, not enough to lead the CERN for open source large-scale AI.

The parent appeared to show hypocrisy because the businesses espoused certain separate non-contradictory ideas and not others. The businesses were never pro-union as far as I can see; so I'm missing the hypocrisy. Apple is definitely pro-LGBT, so trying to diminish their progressive values such as gay rights seems wrong.
The laws are only sharp in the finance world because it is more profitable for it to be that way which I think prevents it from being a counter example. Take for example the Positive Accounting Theory of Watts and Zimmerman which seeks to explain actual accounting practices as opposed to academic accounting practices. One of their findings was that due to the costly signaling nature of audits some companies will do more extensive audits than would otherwise be standard or even optimal. There is value in trust and that value can be captured in the form of decreased cost of debt from lenders and an increase in stock price. Without trust the whole financial industry implodes and that would be bad for just about everyone in finance and especially bad for those making the most money from it.

The parent comment asked specifically about negating the finality of each state, which I addressed. As for how to actually implement complement in a regex engine, there are certainly some strategies like the one you mentioned that could be used (but the point of my comment was that just swapping final/non-final states is not a valid one).

Well, it is an anti-union tactic. You're selecting which employees get [new positive thing] based on whether or not they're in a union. If they want to avoid such light they should only base the additions off department/team.

I do agree that they should be focusing on renegotiations, what's currently happening is they're letting a lot of reporters get away with framing the situation as a "loss" for the union.

I don't fully grasp your irritation regarding the focus on the union itself, it's supposed to be a representation of the workers as a baseline.
I don't know what is the methodology behind the TIOBE rating but what is clear is that a lot of stuff happens below the radar of the average silicon valley dev.

Also please refrain from calling other members idiots, next time you wont be warned.
Just to point out: The "on device" and "private" CSAM detection christian politicians push would trivially be able to be used for this as well. Before anyone says "but CSAM is illegal", in Iran the violating the "hajib law" is definitionally illegal.
> There's no requirement that the relationship between a union and management has to be hostile

How could it not be? It’s inherent to the adversarial nature of the relationship between management and a union.

1. Companies only have money because of the work I and others do.

2. It doesn't follow that when companies have more money their workers get more. Evidence is: record profits concomitant with layoffs, corporate profits vs wages, etc etc.

3. Taxes fund a government that answers to me. Capital powers corporations that not only don't answer to me but likely want to exploit me.

There is nothing stopping companies from offering the same benefits to union employees that non-union employees are getting.

It is not 100% automatically on the union to chase the company for literally everything. That only winds up being the case when the company is actively trying to weaken the union.

Any union that automatically rejects offered benefits from the company unless they are part of yearly negotiations or something is just a bad union.

Maybe many such bad unions exist. I think it's much more likely that companies are very aware that they can make your unions look bad by offering benefits to non-union employees and when asked they pretend to be helpless. Obviously it's the big mean union that is not working.
Yes :). Up to a point, that is. Please see the video demo I've included in the README: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgMKCeiUDQc

The TIOBE index is effectively just based on the number of estimated hits for "$LANGUAGE programming" on Google. That's it. It's not based on actual usage, or interest, and certainly not importance; it's just counting search results.

(They actually search on a few sites other than Google, but they're bizarrely chosen -- they include search hits on Walmart and Etsy, for example. And the way they weight search results effectively means that the wildly inflated Google search result counts dominate the ranking.)
Schelling Day
It's a rationalist holiday celebrating the concept of the 'Schelling Point' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_point_(game_theory) it's on Schelling's birthday April 14. But I feel like it would more faithfully honor the idea of the Schelling Point to put it on one of the solstices or equinoxes. Anyway I guess the day doesn't matter. The thing that matters is getting together with some like minded nerds like it's a 2007 reddit meetup so we can bacon and narwhal to each other and play cringe chicken who can stand the cringe longest.
I think you have that in reverse. The South (and North) poles are only a small part of the Earth.

> We should really consider the present western world as some sort of marriage of corporatism and government

“Corporatism” is a model of society in which government, private industry, union, and other power centers are integrated, mutually cooperating, and centrally coordinated. A “marriage of corporatism and government” is just “corporatism”.

(Corporatism is an element of, but not coextensive with, fascism.)

Is this a tactical leak, stemming from a "commoditize your complement" strategy? Open source as a strategic weapon, without having to explain board members/shareholders/whatever that you threw around money on training an open sourced model?
“The Board’s order phrases it in bureaucratic euphemisms — but they understood extremely well that this was a gang of inept grifters. The fundamental issue is that Custodia have no idea what they’re doing. The order notes repeatedly that:

“considerations relating to the managerial factor are so adverse as to present sufficient grounds on their own for warranting denial” is my new favorite phrase. Useful in so many situations…
I guess if you found my comment to be "comically hyperbolic" then replying to mine with a "comically reductionist" is fair game

So, anyway, I actually did dig up a concrete example of my experience with it, and I cannot link to the "Additional information" section but that is both why I think the thing was a mess and also why the Miroservices YT joke resonated: https://github.com/flatcar/Flatcar/issues/220

I think the CoreOS boot strategy was decomposed into a bunch of different executables, each responsible for doing their own little slice of the world. Maybe it drew inspiration from systemd in that way. But, just like my real life experience with microservices, it requires keeping a bunch of different projects and their upgrade paths in ones head, knowing their disparate config formats, and when one of them inevitably has a bug, understanding how to troubleshoot what went wrong with the system as a whole

And, again in trying to be reasonable in this discussion[1] I do also understand why one would opt for the data URI, given how much of the rest of Ignition loads content from URLs. I don't believe cloud-init has that remote content paradigm baked into it nearly the same way, so I hear you about that.

And yes, my belief is that JSON is a data-exchange format from _computer to computer_ and making people write them is a poor DX choice, IN MY OPINION. And, to reiterate, I know that CoreOS's perspective is that it is a computer-to-computer transmission from the transpiler-project-o-the-day to the Ignition binary, but that is predicated on one having access to that transpiler binary in all cases, which is quite different from the problem that cloud-init is trying to solve

Try buying something from the German company Trigema, the exclusively produce in Germany. Here a translation from the German wiki article:

“ Grupp [ the owner] is publicly committed to Germany as a production location and advertises that all raw materials for the clothing are purchased in EU countries, that all production takes place in Germany, that there has been no short-time work or layoffs for over 30 years, and that Trigema guarantees employees' children a job or apprenticeship.”

Quality is pretty good.
