Does the fact that Twitter is wildly financially unsustainable under Musk's leadership ever come up in these executive conversations? Because if not, I'd say it doesn't reflect well on those folks.

The purchase agreement was an objectively terrible deal for Musk. Axing all of those workers is directly related to how much revenue has fallen.

Elon has increased costs (via debt) and slashed revenue. In any other context this would be a laughable failure, but I guess his weird charisma has a lot of appeal for certain people.

Maybe in a few years when Tesla has declared bankruptcy or Elon has had to pump $xxB into the company to keep it afloat those people will reevaluate. I'm joking, of course they won't.
Not really. Put your coax modem into bridge mode. There aren't any DOCSIS 3+ pcie cards afaik, and these devices don't usually have pcie slots available (maybe nvme, but that would require an adapter and a new chassis)

The idea of Valve releasing SteamOS as a Linux distribution is interesting.

I don't know for sure but I believe the UI has a hand written compositor specifically designed for Steam and various other game-centric features.

Supporting non-Valve hardware would be challenging charity work (though brining customers to the Steam platform is valuable - it's still a small number of people and a large amount of work).

Perhaps releasing the SteamOS frontend under a OS copyleft license would be a great way for them to let companies ship their own handhelds without taking on the burden of supporting their hardware.

There's certainly demand for the use of the SteamOS frontend and Steam could really become a monopoly in the space. In a lot of ways that would make it the first major open source game console platform.

Anyway, when I get my ROG I will definitely be playing around with Linux.

I volunteer with the homeless in the Bay Area and am tapped into the "scene" as it were and so can speak to this.

Absolute numbers of homelessness are on the rise, in the Bay Area there was a dramatic uptick in COVID. This is in part due to rising housing costs and because homelessness is a "cumulative" problem. The most common outcomes for homeless people are either get it together after 2-4 years or become so damaged they're never able to re-enter society. We've been accumulating at an ever increasing rate since the 90s.

Visibility is also due to "management" side as you called it. IMO the driving force is the Supreme Court decision Martin v. Boise which forbids criminalizing homelessness. Previously a lot homeless were hidden out of necessity, being visible meant that police would confiscate your belongings and either jail you or move you forcefully. It's now quite easy to get restraining orders against cities who try to do this and people are doing it. For an example of how this can go see this article[0] on a Sausalito homeless encampment. The city spent north of $2 million trying and failing to disperse a homeless encampment.

> If culturally we found homelessness intolerable then we would be more motivated to solve it.

Plenty of people are deeply intolerant of the homeless, but the reaction is usually to hurt not help. Homeless people I know are regularly brutalized by the police and even by ordinary citizens.

The blocker here is that a large number of Americans don't believe that the state has a role in providing the necessities for life. This means its hard to fund programs and even if you do there's no institutional expertise to run them with any competency.

IMO we're decades away from a solution.

We don't. The OS is owned by Apple, they too use cryptography and remote attestation to not let us "tamper" with your app.

As if services will ever use that information to do anything but screw us over by refusing to interoperate. They should not be able to tell at all that we aren't using an "official" client.

Well I don't want them to "understand" anything about me. I don't consent to it. Since I can't trust corporations to respect consent, I will absolutely do everything in my power to ensure they can't track anything. I don't need remote attestation getting in the way.
A socialist economic perspective raised in the UK in the 70s and 80s was that robotics were going to be a huge contradiction to Labour theory of Value because the value is inherent to human labour, and so the robot either reduces the value to zero, or infinite: Retaining the humans means that you can quantify the labour inputs to cost of production and in that theoretical model assign value to the goods made accordingly.

I suspect classical economists don't see value in this theory. But that said, the underlying point is that cost, price and value are really odd concepts and in some ways, "all made by machines" confuses the hell out of people who thought they had a sense of value in a product which is now made by .. whom exactly? I mean why do I even pay more than the capital depreciation, the input costs and some low margin?

Objects like resistors or pills reflect the sunk costs much more than the labour costs. Are electronics production lines and pill factories totally devoid of humans? No. They moved roles. They supervise machines, or they perform tasks where the costs of (mobile) robots or robots adaptive to contextual demand is still too high.

I have a friend who supervised a totally automated clarified butter (Ghee) factory in Queensland Australia. It operates in a very narrow temperature band: too high and the Ghee tastes burnt. Too low and it gums up the flow. He's like the man in Kurt Vonnegut's "Player Piano" keeping the robot working, which makes the Ghee. There's a driver or two, and some payroll staff, and cleaners, and finance/economics and advertising staff. It's hardly "nobody works here" but they don't employ people on the factory floor as much as they did.

Robot slaughter houses (there's a thought...) are using smart cutting devices to move highly skilled labour to the places they can add value. There are 4 important cuts on a side of beef which have to be made "just right" to extract maximum value in all the subsequent jointing. That demands a skill which goes beyond the normal, you have to sense where the muscle and bone points are on this specific carcase right then and there. 4 cuts, which ruin the value if you get them wrong.

Sheep shearers are highly paid. Robot sheep shearing has been a long time "in development"

It is also worth noting that if you don't have a workforce, you don't have people earning money, and thus don't have people buying your goods. This is not a problem for a Bottega making handbags to sell to Melania Trump and her friends, because you aren't selling them to your local workforce. It's a huge problem if you make milk, or tin pineapples, and expect to sell produce locally: if you don't pay people, they can't buy your product.
I really wonder whether you have seen Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT or any other the recent trendy AI things.

If you look at my comment history, you'll see I'm well familiar with the BEAM.

I'm in full agreement with you, but I'm not sure you need full robust process supervision trees to mimic what the BEAM does in the context of LiveView on a single machine.

I do want to say, I 100000% times prefer Elixir, it's tooling, ecosystem, web frameworks, easy of scaling vertically and horizontally, etc over Go or any other lang that probably do something analogous to LiveView via what ever concurrency primitives that language/runtime champions; Go with it's Communicating sequential processes(CSP) and Rust with the Ractor lib (https://github.com/slawlor/ractor).

One of the obvious bugs to me is that, I think one of the most common and profound bugs men seem to have is in the active listening department.

This one quality tends to be quite profound at setting men apart. No need to disagree, fix, suggest, or provide a different perspective. Listen and thoughtfully respond with empathy to what the woman is saying.

Hopefully, that’s one of the interpersonal bugs you figured out. ;)

Far too often I see:

Woman: “My model of the world is X”

Man: “Your model doesn’t make sense. This is my superior model.”

Woman is irritated.

Alternatively, merely responding with, “I never saw the model of the world that way. Tell me more. Why is X that way? What is Y?”

Now she feels seen and heard. And provides the basis for men to also feel seen and heard as well.

Hopefully, this comment can help the many men out there who have trouble with women.

Not to mention, men tend to provide this exact response to other men, which compounds the irritation women tend to feel.
Yes. It doesn’t provide any access to it at all.

Protoc actually generates "writeDelimitedMessage" and "readDelimitedMessage" functions for each type. The only thing I needed to add was some buffering on the Dart side to ensure the full message was available. The Go side was able to read the stream and block until input became available
The open source community is great and companies like Mediatek have open source drivers too. The problem is by the time a router and its drivers gets to a really stable state, its wifi standard has become old or last gen. The RT3200 for example or E8450 is the one that is trending cause its relatively new and fast hardware with most issues solved. But now thats WiFi 6 and not 6E. By the time 6E routers get stable OpenWrt WiFi 7 will be available. So OpenWRT always trails one generation which is perfectly fine for home users usually.

If you really want something that runs a more recent version of OpenWRT (for security patches) and fast and stable wifi from the latest generation the best solution right now is to use OpenWRT for routing and get some prosumer Access Point. This combination has worked great for me. This is important if you want to deploy in a work environment where wifi needs to be stable and frequent reboots are not welcome.

> Does that mean part of the function signature needs to include that the call stack must be able to handle the effect?

Some people would argue that the effects a function may raise are indeed a part of a function's type and for it to type check it must be within scope of a handler for that effect. Think of it like function coloring, a function with the "async/await" effect means all callees must be invoked either within an "async" block (another function with the await effect) or within scope of a runtime that handles the effect.

But even that is a bit limiting.

> And if that's part of the call stack, why not just make that an explicit function?

This is kind of a meaningless question depending on how you formulate it, because the big thing about things like effects is that the callee both returns more than once and is called more than once - so the notion of a "call stack" is kind of meaningless.

For example if f calls g and g raises E1 and then E2, f can declare a handler for E1 which moves it into a different scope that has a handler for E2. From the perspective of g() there is no function to call to deal with E1 and E2, since it's the responsibility of the caller to determine that.

Gross sales. That's sales before expenses. Your brother-in-law took on literally all the risk in this scenario. Unless the zombie apocalypse started in that very mall, any store was going to sell some burgers and your brother-in-law was going to be paying out to the landlord before he had covered his own costs.

Here's a fancy trick from LLVM source: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/lib/Targ...

#define A 0xf0
#define B 0xcc
#define C 0xaa

And then you can build immediate for VPTERNLOG operation by writing bitwise expression with A/B/C values in source code.

For example, A^B^C=150. A^(~B&C)=210. And so on...

I think there might be a terminology mix-up here. In C, a global variable with the `static` keyword is is still mutable. So it typically can't be constant-folded/inlined.

The `static` modifier in that context just means that the symbol is not exported, so other ".c" files can't access it.

That's generally the case, but not true here. 49 CFR § 1540.111(c)(2)(iv) requires that when firearms are transported in checked baggage, "only the passenger retains the key or combination." TSA approved locks are not allowed here because by their very design, the TSA retains a key to the locked luggage. That's why when traveling with firearms, you'll either need to wait by the bag drop for 15 minutes in case the TSA calls you to unlock your bag or you'll have your bag inspected in front of you.

Efficient use of capital and resources. Idle power plants waste resources and make things more expensive.

Consider every dollar spent as an interest baring loan. Spending money on a power plant not used wastes it and making everything more expensive.

Scalable loads makes the return on investment for variable load renewables and constant load nuclear much better. The most expensive power are the peaker plants that have to run only a handful of hours per day.

More scalable grid connected loads like aluminum processing makes building capacity and especially renewable capacity cheaper.

Kotlin is deliberately trying to stay closer to Java and more approachable than, say, Scala. It does have sum types and a generic Result, but the builtin special cases for nullability and exceptions are a little more ergonomic (and simplify interop with JVM APIs).
I think people are misunderstanding that you can have a small core language and use that for static analysis (a smaller language means fewer typing rules which means a simpler type checker).

You can always define higher level sugar in terms of the small core language to make it easier for programmers which has the advantage of making a more ergonomic language without changing fundamentals like the type system or linkage.
> Case in point: automated checkout machines in stores.

I don't know where you live, but I've never seen automated checkout machines. I only have seen self checkout machines. It requires the customer to do the cashier' job and that's all.

The only reason it's not good is that it's not automated enough (if at all -- for me the self checkout machine is literally zero automation more than a regular cashier)

But in Rust you can do the same, I do this all the time:

let _ = fs::mkdir_all() // Error ignored, Rust will not complain because you explicitly assigned to _

Or if the function returns something I need but I don't care about the error:

let Ok(file) = get_file() else {
file_unavailable();
return
}

upload_file(file);

Or this:

let file = get_file().unwrap_or_default()

This would be a significantly better resource if it explained the underlying "why's" inline. In it's current form, it comes off as cargo culting / magic spell recital.

For example, why "./*" rather than "*". Not helpful to understand the core principal and reality.

Personally I don't tend to fuck about with "*" and instead use `find . -print0 | xargs -0 -n1'. Hasn't bitten me yet, across a few thousand shell scripts (!).

Why should I prefer this magic incantation compared to my own battle-tested proven one?

And this is why, IMHO, the explanations should be inline.

Can you show me a few? I did the quick web search as suggested, but cannot find the right keywords to find a lot.

What I did find is that BASE jumping is apparently often illegal (but definitely not everywhere per se), that everyone who did it can claim a “number”, and that 2000 numbers total have been claimed since 1981.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, I know next to nothing about BASE jumping. I’m curious what companies offer it commercially as an activity, and if that’s really widespread.
