All of the inclusivity movements that have happened in my workplace have involved hiring people unfit to do their job. I don't care what your background is, I care what you bring to the table.

The issue around unfettered inclusivity is that it enables grifters to gain positions of power based purely on superficial elements that they possess.

The original meaning of diversity was "diversity of thought" -- it has been co-opted to mean something totally different.
Matter of time & effort since the arch is out but without much details of the layer blocks just number of params, heads etc.
Nothing much to do with government: organisations of all types regularly screw up in similar ways. Probably some over-promoted growling manager insisting "Do it now!" without listening to the "but ... but ... but" caveats. But maybe also an undereducated and oblivious techie.
what the headline does not make clear is that “heavy drinking” is relative, non-linear, etc.

what is rather universal is that the statement “I’m fine” is true until it isn’t.
Sorry, but an cloned army of RMS?

That sounds like a interesting nerd cult movie.

The question is, would it be a splatter action movie, or a dogmatic preaching documentary?

Or would some of them actually write code again?

(More serious, I think the best one could do for free software - is writing free software.

And RMS is against more children in general btw.)

"Trillion dollar corporations should give their users all the choice and flexibility they want, not the other way around." is an absolute.

Who the fuck are we?! Have you asked iPhone users? Or just your immediate circle? No. We is the arrogant, opinionated "power users" and tech-commenters that think that the know what is best for everyone else.

> "And yes it's strange to take the side of a trillion-dollar megacorp instead of users, especially considering the size and power of such a company."

I'm not. I'm siding with the status quo, which is a considerably safer environment for the vast majority of iPhone users (yes, including me, a actual user of the software and hardware made by the megacorp) than that of what your are espousing.

At least I know not to invest in your fund, especially given your aversion to businesses that make money.
Rollbacks of an integrated financial system, live and mid-collapse, built with a shockingly complex set of integrations and features on top of a series of underprovisioned distributed databases and queues, probably aren't as simple as the author believes.

Yes, they should have planned to be able to roll back, but it wouldn't have been simple. It would have been very difficult, and if they were fastidious enough to plan for a rollback they presumably would have done the development and migration in stages and performed parallel testing on the old and new systems, which would have removed the need for the rollback in the first place.

Nope, why would I want to be deliberately racist, sexist, or whatever else discriminatory? Why would doing so lead to anything good?

>Yeah, they should. But they're not. Because humans are inherently biased, even when they don't mean to be.

That isn't an excuse, though.

I work as a software engineer. My last job was two interviews: initial "feeler" interview, and final hiring interview.

Of the jobs I interviewed for, all of them were similar. Three companies were seriously interested, and I got one reject, and two offers (plus 2-5 interviews that didn't go anywhere).

It seemed that only SV companies had these interviewing headaches, and I suspect it's currently better than ever. Keep in mind that companies have asked about the shape of manholes and the north pole, circa the 90s and early millennium.

As always, your mileage will vary.
From what I heard, in the EU if you loose work you will get plenty of support from your Gov. Wish that was the case were I am.

In NA, especially in the US, you get a bit of support. But after a period of time, you will be homeless. The period of time depends upon your State. I think in all cases, this period of support, will not exceed 1 year, some states much less. Also that support itself, is no were near the amount needed to cover basic living expenses.

This means, in the US, many people would have a very hard time saying no to the a high salary.

And there seems to be a trend where Companies will not hire people where were unemployed at the time of the interview. Luckily right now that trend seems to have reversed somewhat due to the skill work shortage.
That's case for this particular feature, but the approach has been with know symbols and is how they introduce new features into the app.

Disclaimer: I am a lifelong footpedaling, boot-to-fullscreen emacs apologist.

However: I nolonger believe that GPL licensing is free-as-in speech. Especially in an age where stack overflow or GPT code snippets can accidentally cause violations, GPL has become an encumbrance on free software as frustrating OR MORE as the actual copyright/patent law it originally sought to attack. As a developer you have to bite your tongue and that is not free speech.

Times have changed and so has the concept of free software, and RMS' ideology is too absolutist to apply today. Copyleft has just become an alternative copyright system whose fee is all your profit.
I don't think that machine was either general-purpose or error-corrected though. IIUC we can build at most a few error-corrected gates right now.

RMS was right IMHO when he said that software that runs without the permission of its users, doing things to or preventing use of the hardware owned by the user, is an infringement of freedom.

But he goes too far in demanding that all software source be open, scrutinizable, and subject to modification.

As a software dev, that's my work product, my trade secret, my value add. Not the end user's. He's free to turn it off and uninstall it if he doesn't like or trust what it does.

Not really, the "easy" way is to hook up an enormously expensive multi-beam sonar to a surface vessel.

A more difficult but inexpensive way to start would be to take a single-channel Ping2 transducer: https://bluerobotics.com/store/sensors-sonars-cameras/sonar/... and hook it up to a pan/tilt system and datalogger.

Low-power sonar shouldn't hurt fish. At only 0.2W, even with a 10ms pulse width increasing the instantaneous power output to 20W, that ultrasound pulse is probably not even perceptible to fish. Lots of studies have shown that "fish finders" are not perceptible to fish, and humans typically can't hear them either.

On the other hand, military sonar can have power levels of many kilowatts and sound pressure levels that are literally off the charts, generating forces of 235 dB that cannot be replicated in air at atmospheric pressure. These are known to kill whales, dolphins, and other wildlife! They are even powerful enough to kill or maim humans who happen to be swimming too close to the ship or submarine; navies will use this to deter/repel boarders when docked in potentially hostile locations.
Would you describe it as a "large-scale microservices architecture operating successfully" though?

You seem to defend something you don't know the definition and meaning of.

You can have free markets and private property without capitalism. You can have capitalism without "free" markets or private property.

Capitalism simply means that the fruits of the labor are not enjoyed by the workers but by those owning the capital.
FWIW, I interviewed for a role at Microsoft a few year ago, and the building for my interview had individual offices for everyone. What really struck me was how many appeared to have some active whiteboard collaboration going on. It seemed like having space to collaborate without having to bother others or find a conference room increased the level of collaboration.
Am I wrong that you actually cannot have multiple evictions going at once without sacrificing correctness?

If entry one hits a series of eviction locations A0, A1, A2... and entry two ends up going into AN with the same key as A(N-1) in a fewer number of steps than N, wouldn't that result in an earlier entry overwriting a later entry? Trying to wrap my head around how concurrency works when the steps are all on the same clock.
…at which point the 'Open Source' side of things is unharmed, because they've practiced the realpolitik of giving away their power to giant corporate entities that care nothing for principle but will fight for their interests, against others like them.

The interest is not in freedom. Their interests are in protecting their continued ability to plunder the commons. That's a perfectly real interest, so there's nothing fair about it but it's a line of defense.

I know I'm interested in seeing what happens there. The essay sounds like it's claiming RMS-ness is still declining, and that this is a bad thing. I don't know whether Open Source-ness is keeping a space open for RMS-ness or starving it out, but I do know something's gotta be there, even if it means giving away power to force the corporate monsters to have a vested interest in a commons.

They will steal everything anyway, including anything Richard has, so it's more about how well you can facilitate people sharing who want to share.
You mean support contracts, like RedHat?

This only works for certain software where that’s a suitable revenue model.

How would that work for, say, AAA games, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make and require little-to-no support after they’re released?

Hmm ... there's this famous study that examined a whole lot of motorcycle crashes and if I recall correctly, the vast majority of injuries & death were due to: lack of experience, being close to home (when you just set off or about to arrive at your destination your guard just isn't up yet / anymore), being under the influence, excessive speed etc.

When you filter all these elements out (you're a rider with experience who "knows" the traffic and doesn't do stupid) then it's safer then you'd think.

After so many years of riding a bike in the city I feel like I just have a sixth sense about how cars are going to behave. It can be really small things. For example a car with plates from out of town approaching a crossroads driving a little too slow is probably wondering where the hell he should turn and is likely to suddenly change course, so keep your distance. And if you look several cars ahead you can predict what the car in front of you is likely to do.
My phone stays in my pocket. No music. Only GPS via my Sena headset when needed. I cut calls short until I can pullover or arrive to talk. I saw a woman driving with her elbows to put face makeup on as I passed. I revved as I passed her open window. She probably had Pelosi eyebrows after ;) People texting in cars or high as a kite on weed. I drive loud and bright and aggressive. Been riding since 1983. I was a moto messenger in NYC back then. Learning to actually ride and control a moto as opposed to just commuting has given me some really neat skills to avoid the inevitable bad situation by pulling off some maneuvers you only learn by pushing it. Drive a car if you don't want to really ride.
This is what I do:

- Write the backend in Rust

- Write the UI in Flutter

- Tie them together using gRPC. You get an API and ability to run client and server on different machines as well

I looked at the flutter to rust bridge and started to play with it, but assuming your UI can withstand the slight overhead of gRPC I found it a simpler way to proceed (although I'm not that far in yet)

Maybe they intend to do periodic source drops from their internal version, rather than developing in the open? That's not ideal but it's still more open than any other heavy duty renderer.

They might be worried about having to dance on eggshells to avoid accidentally revealing anything about their upcoming films, if the public could see every single commit they make.
I can see how you'd think this if you thought that the FSF's role was to "speak."

I think of the FSF as doing something entirely different and the work that it does is valuable in and of itself and also, in addition, enables benefiting humans regardless of anything including what they think or what they say.

That said, Emacs is still rubbish, vim all the way.

> “…say no to ridding under the rain.”

I use my moto for Moto camping upstate New York. I plan my trips to avoid storms, but they happen never the less. And I love my super banana suit. It keeps me comfortable while I’m trying to hold my $#!t together out on the highway.

I grew up in CA and every year people go nuts with the first rains. Lots of accidents. Same happens here—especially the spring and early summer rains. People lose their minds and forget how to drive.

Slow down. Increase following distance. And if you’re on a moto, watch for manhole covers, leaves, road markings which can be slick.

And not running your tires to slick helps, too.

Discord is a black hole where information goes to die. Its search and scrollback is awful. It's awful at being an archive, as finding anything that was asked more than a day or two ago is impractical.

To use Discord in good faith and with open eyes, you have to prioritize communication in the present, and give up hope of archiving anything that was said for people who might need the information in the future.
"Achieve low footprint and minimal resource consumption. The Slint runtime fits in less than 300KiB RAM..."

That's not an invalid point of view, but if the expertise, trade secrets, and skill of your labor is evident in the product, and it is now takeable at no cost, you've sold WAY more than your skilled time building the product: you've sold the years you spent developing the skills, finding markets, etc. That just isn't realistically priced in yet.
Terrible, racist, ageist attitude. Hiring people for some superficial attribute is just as bad as not hiring them. It’s dumb.

Accept that you'll never find the perfect messenger. There's always someone more alienated, someone more disfavored and someone more ignored, someone even less privileged. You can keep finding "better" messengers, but that's just a distraction.

> They could gradually blend the area with higher refresh rate to the peripheral images with lower refresh rate.

I'm just not sure that's possible for update frequency. For lower/higher resolution, sure, but even with our terrible peripheral vision I think we'd notice that the center of our vision is smooth while our peripheral vision is "sticking", particularly during rapid movement.
> You mean support contracts, like RedHat?

Perhaps. I mean more generally: labor contracts. "I will pay you X to do Y", where Y could be to write some software to do something.

> How would that work for, say, AAA games, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make and require little-to-no support after they’re released?

It wouldn't. I also think the state of AAA games is awful, and we shouldn't strive to support that model.

Sorry, this is supposed to be a viable alternative to Reddit?
Serious question: How are software developers supposed to put a roof over their head and food on the table if software can't be privatized? We can't all be employed by academia or rely on charitable donations. The worst scenario would be if all software becomes "free" but funded by advertising. If you're not the customer, you're the product.

The author rails against capitalist businesses, but what exactly is the author's proposed alternative? Are we going to have a Free Houses Foundation and a Free Furniture Foundation? It feels to me that the FSF take software labor completely for granted, as if it just grows on trees. Is every consumer good supposed to come with instructions for exactly reproducing it? That's a recipe for theft and getting uncut by lazy competition.
That's a ninja move my mom once did - cars rear ending each other in front, doing an emergency swerve in to the next lane and the guy who was behind her slamming in to the ones who were in front. That was in car. It's very difficult to suddenly swerve at speed on a motorbike.
GPL =? FPF

I never understood how GPL licensed software qualified as “free” when numerous restrictions exist as part of that license.

RMS even wrote an article about how software should not limit its freedom to be run, but GPL software does limit.

It seems like RMS is actually describing MIT/BSD licenses, while having blinders to the shortcomings of his own licenses.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/programs-must-not-limit-freed...
Too much technical debt. Better to wipe clean and start over from scratch.
As the top comment notes, the FSF is not about an argument, it is a about a man. In that case it seems fair to hold the debate on the same topic FSF advocates are so passionate about.
