The "E" stands for "embedded," which was surprisingly difficult to determine. I had to click to another page on the site, where I inferred from context that must be what it meant.

If the author is reading this, I suggest including "WebKit Project Embedded" (if that is indeed the unabbreviated form) at the beginning of the article. In addition to making it easier for first-time readers to understand the context of the project, it's also stylistically correct, as it's generally accepted that any abbreviation should only appear in an article after at least one occurrence of its unabbreviated form.
Poor man, when there was a very valid reason for doing what he did!

"Hobson soon discovered that his fastest horses were the most popular, and thus overworked. So as not to exhaust them, he established a strict rotation system, allowing customers to rent only the next horse in line.

This policy, "this one or none" ("take it or leave it"), has come to be known as "Hobson's choice". It is not an absence of choice, rather choosing one thing or nothing."
This is the type of news app that I’ve always wanted. Kudos. I hate the sensationalism in news these days. One thing I’d like to see is a feature for grouping articles about the same piece of news. I keep seeing repeating articles covered by different outlets. It may not be easy to implement, but it’d make it much more useful for skimming the daily news.

The thing is, with Simpson's paradox you'd expect at least _some_ inversions. You'll have at least _some_ people who are eating a lot of medicine and not dying.

There are _no_ examples of higher density leading to lower prices in the US. This strongly suggests a causal relationship.

And some examples are rather extreme. The number of units in Seattle has been growing by about 2.2% YoY for the last ~12 years. This is already at the upper range of the possible construction rate. Yet Seattle's price growth curve has been basically mirroring SF.

So looking back over the past 6 months of Twitter under Elon Musk, it is safe to say that after all the outrage and senseless screeching over the layoffs, Twitter has still survived with its ~220M+ daily active users (DAU) and there was little to no 'migration' or even a sign of Twitter completely collapsing as that was incorrectly predicted.

You are insinuating physical violence (I will assume) which is never acceptable.

And in your case you made a mistake ie

'I put a chunk of money in there'

and further SBF had no control over this: 'because this all unfolded right after I got fired from my last job, when I really needed my liquid money to pay for things like "my mortgage" and "food".'

The takeaway for others is events happen in life. Could be someone's fault could be nobody's fault.

Having all your eggs (or no eggs) in one basket can and does lead often to disaster.

Sorry for the harsh way of putting this. What you are indicating is that you had no cushion and made the mistake of being lured by a high return and ignored potentially any downsides. (Gemini is not and did not claim to be an FDIC insured bank. Also crypto can and does lose value unlike money in a bank. Even if you had been able to get 7% return if crypto loses value you lose money. Same as or similar to a dividend paying stock).

Erase it and do it iteratively like any sane person!

Kidding aside, I'm more talking about the kinds of large procedures common to C++ codebases. These involve many sequential state changes which leave lots of opportunities for not initializing things and the like when the right set of conditions are met. The more paths available through this kind of code the more likely it becomes we'll create a bad one and fail to anticipate the conditions which trigger it.
A less prescriptivist title would be "I disagree with how people use the word fractal", as words are defined by how they're used and in what contexts, not by dictionaries or institutions.

I think what you've laid out here is invaluable. My skill-set is mostly geared towards sysadmin work, and I loathed working for corporate places, being on-call, dealing with immediate emergencies (which were all superficial), stressed over attending bullshit meetings.

I saw my local library was looking for a sysadmin, it did come with a pay cut, but damn if it isn't a quarter of the responsibilities, fulfilling work, no direct manager, pension, decent healthcare, and I write my own schedule.

No one questions what I do and I have full freedom to come and go without needing to "check-in" with a c-suite.

Will I get rich working this gig, absolutely not but the sense of accomplishment knowing my skill-set is helping the community directly, and those less fortunate fills the pay gap I never thought it could.

It doesn't hurt that it shortened my commute and I do so by bicycle now.

Much much happier now.

I maintained page like this, only to have it penalized by Google when they started cracking down on a particular type of SEO spam.

But another problem is that such pages are just really hard to maintain. In a year or two, half of the items you're liking to are going to be out of production. This is especially true for stuff like no-name test equipment, low-cost breadboards, etc. There's just no stable brand or URL to use.

Have you ever EVER heard a 40 year old say 'I was a lot smarter back in my 20s'??? never... more likely they'll reminisce about the stupid things they got up to.

Your certainly not losing your intellectual abilities at 40 or 50, far from it.

40 and 50 year olds will just be moving on to the next stage of their career, using their collected experience to manage and pass on knowledge. Coding requires focus which is difficult to come by generally when you're older and juggling many responsibilities that you've created in your life up to this point like family, finances etc. You certainly don't become dumb.

All the attributes of big tech organisations you described could be applied to many other fields. When you're at the bottom (like a smart 20 year old) and have no control, it can be frustrating. You can rebel against it, play the game, or go out and do your own thing.

> The global amendments specify operational requirements for providing Registration Data Directory Services (RDDS) via RDAP and detail the sunset of certain obligations for registries and registrars to provide RDDS via the WHOIS protocol by 28 January 2025.

Note that, because registries will be contractually mandated to support RDAP, and that if they choose to continue supporting WHOIS they will be subject to additional uptime/monitoring requirements on WHOIS that they wouldn't be if they simply dropped WHOIS, most are planning on dropping WHOIS as soon as possible.
Is it? Interesting.
Hm, maybe from some news outlets. I think the main issue for big news outlets isn't outright falsehoods, it's the coverage bias. You really can't get a full sense of what's going on if you don't make an effort to get news from divergent sources because each outlet covers the news that fits its preferred narrative.

I suspect you'd melt your grid infrastructure. They're already crumbling. If you start adding massive generation in places it wasn't designed, especially generation which can surge and dip as quickly as the weather.

The good thing about domestic solar installations is that you can pair them with small (eg 5KWh) batteries and feed back the excess to (relatively) local demand. The home then becomes a lower burden on the grid in high demand times. Everybody wins.

> Also Vanderbilt and Carnegie existed during a time of much higher taxation

Cornelius Vanderbilt lived from 1794 to 1877, when there was no income tax; Andrew Carnegie lived in the US from 1848 to 1919, and he would only have paid income tax in the last six years of his life. Government receipts and expenditures were single-digit percent of GDP back then.

I do wish the wealthy of today were more familiar with the concept of noblesse oblige, and laud Carnegie's devotion to philanthropy, but you couldn't be more wrong with your statement that those people lived in a time of much higher taxation. On the contrary, American government of those times was very, very small, compared to the almost 40% of GDP that it is now.

> think about how Bill Gates hasn't written a line of code in 40 years

> Someone with a higher lifetime contribution to the company can be making less simply because Bill was there first.

Your engineering manager or CTO doesn't write code yet is paid more than you. There's value in directing labor and capital, and putting them together in a prudent way.

If Bill Gates wasn't there to be first, would there be a Microsoft that an employee would be contributing to? Risk and reward go hand in hand, and someone getting paid a handsome salary like clockwork is agreeing to take a small risk for a small slice of the output.

Henry Ford didn't toil away at the assembly line putting cars together; he came up with the whole idea and employed people to execute his vision, without which none of it would have existed to begin with. Seems like implicit to your argument is the idea that the capitalists are neither necessary nor sufficient to these great commercial successes, and it would have spontaneously erupted among the proletariat without them.

> Then you aren't looking hard enough.

OK, let me look harder. It's actually pretty hard, because the US is by most measures one of the richest countries in the world, even for the average person. For median disposable income per person (adjusted for purchasing power), the US tops the list; there is no country where the median person has more money to spend on what they choose to spend it on.

For another measure, look at the GDP (again, PPP) per capita; there are a handful (literally) of countries higher than the US -- Ireland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Singapore, Qatar, Monaco, Macau, UAE, Bermuda, Switzerland, Isle of Man, and Norway. Most of them are some combination of a tiny tax haven or a petro-state, with Ireland, Singapore, and Switzerland being exceptions, all three of which have a lower government expenditure as a fraction of GDP than the US.

Ireland is famous for low corporate taxes; the average worker in Switzerland pays a lower tax rate than the average worker here; and Singapore is basically a tax haven, with no capital gains tax and low top tax rates, and a remarkably efficient government at only 15% of GDP (seriously, this is the best in the developed world).

Where is your evidence that higher taxation and more redistribution would lead to a better outcome for the median person in the US?

If ARC is so good, it should be the general Linux page cache algorithm.

> Early employees have to work like crazy and get very little upside for the risk they take

For some people that is more interesting than a boring corporate job. There are lots of interesting aspects to being in a small company building something. Not everyone is trying to maximize monetary return on effort.

Biggest challenge with startups for experienced people in my experience is inexperienced founders who haven't sorted out the difference between coordinating work and telling people how to do something. But that gets better with time, and isn't a reason to abandon startups altogether.
It’s clearly not.

It’s only working to the extent you’ve contracted with your employer that you are trading your time and willingness to work for compensation e.g. salary or hourly wage.

There are plenty of jobs that have different labor arrangements: commission only (real estate agents), piecework (home cleaners), unit rate rate (truckers), to name a few… is a real estate agent who’s sitting in their backyard working because technically they’re available to go show a house if you call?

Because it depends so much on your storage engine and schema, I have never seen it recommended because there are circumstances where you have data which is unrepresentative unless you are very careful or you don’t actually use the expressiveness of the DB.

I know you want me to cite exactly. That will take me time to find because I stopped caring about MySQL 7 years ago, but I will dig for you.
Yes but if everyone listened to your advice, there will never be successful companies that once were a startup. Yes working at an early stage startup is mostly a gamble and the financial outcome is close to zero but people have other motives too. You can learn the most by working close to founders in a small startup. It will take years to learn the same (if even possible) in larger orgs where you are told what to do and cannot do things outside of your "job duties". Some people hate to work in boring corporate hell where their soul is being sucked away from them. I was one of those so I know the feeling.

"most of the candidates at WaaS right now are college grads who couldn't find a job"

I disagree. Few may be. Most? I wouldn't think so. Trust me, there are people who want to work for startups because they really want to work for them, not because they have no choice.
That is not true, one of my closest friends has a translating agency, he often says the sector has boomed with stuff like google translate.

Essentially professional translations are now much more accessible to people that would've not been able to afford them in the first place. Yes, it pays less per page, depends on the type of translation actually, but it is also much faster to do and there's more business.
