Well parts of Scotland are. As arethuza said, in the North East of Scotland saw some local benefit. A few people became very wealthy, and many people hopped up one or two social classes through the jobs that were created (and bought nice cars + homes, sent their kids to nice schools). But it wasn't anywhere near the sort of multi-generational wealth that Norway built up.

Shetland managed to do a little bit better and built up a pretty sizeable fund (something like GBP20k/resident), but I'm not super familiar and don't know what they do with it.
Bagwell’s HAMT paper is one of my favourite data structure papers! Thanks for sharing!

In case this is unfamiliar topic - immutable value based programming is super cool because it simplifies the cognitive load of reasoning about your program - hence enabling you to write better programs per-unit-of-effort consumed.
There is a difference between package documentation and system documentation. Red Hat contributes package documentation upstream, but system documentation is by its nature distro-dependent.

Red Hat has contributed work that made distros more homogeneous (cough systemd cough) and excellent package documentation for that work; but also got flak for that...

I used PhotoPrism some time ago when it was slightly less featured, but wasn't satisfied with it. The dealbreaker for me is auto mobile backup. PhotoPrism relies on a third party app to "sync" photos, which isn't the same as backing them up. With that said, PhotoPrism is all the rage in the self-hosting community and I can definitely see why.

Conversely, Synology Photos (which I use instead now) has a fantastic mobile app. However, if you really want reliable and granular object/face recognition, the Syno app is a little bare bones. It does some face recog but that's really it. However, its backup feature is reliable and I don't have to worry about if it's working in the background or not. I tried Nextcloud's photo plugin for a while too, but its mobile app had issues and I just couldn't rely on it.

Another project I've been keeping my eye on is immich: https://github.com/immich-app/immich

I'm happy for now with Syno Photos but it would be nice to have my photo app in my container environment with everything else I run and just use the NAS for media storage like I intended to.
> Splitting thousands of hours of video into 1-2s chunks, uploading them to s3, then processing them in isolation?

Now that you place it like that, it does sound very dubious. The overhead required by uploading MBs go S3 go afterwards have to download it back to the lamdda's execution context should have the same order of magnitude as processing the payload. I'm sure they were aware of this but we're hoping that things would scale well due to the embarrassingly parallel nature of the problem.
Privatization is a costly failure everywhere.
Public infrastructure doesn’t need to make a profit, that should never be the goal. It should be to deliver good reliable service/results at a consistent price.

That is often at odds with “making profit” either from over hiring so there’s always fallback people on call to overbuilding so in 50 years your still under capacity.

The goals are entirely different and so should the incentives

The entire java.util namespace is the example here.

Using static methods on a class seems perfectly fine to me; that's what they're there for. If you have a handy utility class to work around problems in the standard library, then that's an issue with the standard library; Java has this but has gotten better over the years.
Yes. The second example would be much simpler if they wrote it in a more functional-programming way. E.g. by first filtering for the odd numbers, then calling a minimum function.

Printers have vastly improved though. My last printer jam must be at least five years ago while in the 90s and 2000s it was much more dreadful (especially when you are seen as “the technical one” in the office).
Any purely functional app still needs a mutable data store _somewhere_. And if that's all owned by one service (the "root" of your functional app, since everything else is pure by definition), then you're hardly doing microservices.

Interesting. I did not know that.

Still, we were originally talking about gravitons. "Exponential suppression in the space-like interval" means that it cannot apply to gravitons (or at least, it cannot apply to gravitons on astronomical scales).

So, backtracking the argument a ways: Do you have any examples of the numbers of particles being different in different frames or coordinate systems that works at all distance scales?
Any solutions for the problem would still only exist in new devices. And the announcement does indeed mention that new devices will be able to update their certificate store.
Don't get me wrong, I am very happy with this announcement, however it bothers me slightly when I see these kind of announcements with the tone of "we love open source and we want to give this to the community" when the rationale for this probably was "RHEL is going to lose a bunch of customers and we can profit off of that". If it was a non-profit they might convince me but as a Linux for enterprise-kind of company I am not fully convinced behind the motivations.

I buy second hand apple phones, so I spend £500 on last years model and still get the good resale value 3 years later.

For me the long term updates and lack of maintenance are key factors - it’s been 15 years since I’ve had time to faff around with phones, I just need something that works and can easily transfer on to the next one.
I'm not so sure. If either the EU or the USA pass such a law it would change the situation a lot on the entire world for the same reason car regulation and school textbooks follow the tune of the largest jurisdictions. If you have to expend the money to comply with the law in one country you might as well sell the same phone in other countries.
Looked into this when my Huawei P20 died last year. In urban areas, used iPhones are a solid option since folks tend to upgrade annually or biennially. You can get a 1-2yo device in mint condition with software support for a few more years. I was prepared to drop another 80€ on a battery replacement which i thought would give me at least a few years worth of use out of that phone but so far it hasn't even been necessary yet (i'm using an iPhone 11 and don't feel like i'm missing out on much compared to newer models, even the camera is excellent)
Have automatic updates on, and very frequently my iPhone will skip updating despite having left the phone plugged in and connected to the Internet overnight. I check it in the morning and it will say “failed to install update”. Then I’ll have to fight it for the next 5 minutes to get it to actually begin the download.
The US market is primarily RHEL. Historically the EU market and SAP shops were SLES. I admit I’m far enough removed today that I’m not sure if that still holds true.

> " create a more efficient operation."

This doesn't happen.

When the government is the customer, and the private company is maximizing profit, the company's effort goes towards figuring out how to 'raise' rates.

This might sound like free market, I'm just trying to increase prices while reducing my overhead (efficiency). But in practice you end up paying a lot for a little. So instead of government workers slacking off, you have even less well payed people slacking off, with managers making a lot of money.

If you ever had to go to a 'privatized' DMV you can see it. Just awful everything, because of cutting corners. Yet the company gets paid a lot. The money goes to the company leadership, it doesn't 'trickle' down to operations to do a better job.
Every other part of the tech industry has improved dramatically. I complain about modern stuff quite a bit, but I do not have to restart my computer multiple times per day and most stuff usually works. Printers? Modern printers seem to work about half the time, they’re slow to start printing, sometimes they don’t work at all, and ink has gotten more expensive over time. Old impact printers STILL WORK without error every time you ask them to. Most prints are text, so what the heck?

It's called FreeBSD. HTH. HAND. ;-)

What? Well, it is! It's Linux-free, it has no systemd and no glibc, and no GPL code so it is de facto NU free.

But it has a Linux emulator and can run Linux binaries.

And there is Illumos, which can also run Linux binaries.

If you don't need the Linux binaries part, there are also DragonflyBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.

This might be less of an option then you'd think. Android software is often compiled assuming the CPU has comparatively recent instruction set extensions. Older devices, especially lower-end devices (which are more likely to be stuck on older software and more likely to be owned by people without the resources to frequently upgrade), might lack those extensions, making the app unusable. This is not a hypothetical. I've experienced this with FF a couple years ago (and even spent a couple hours trying to figure out how to build from source, but ultimately gave up.)

> We shouldn't be putting anything into consumer electronics with an expiry date.

So you wouldn't have half the consumer electronics we have because nobody would be able to afford them.

We should be making consumer electronics with reasonable life expectancies. 150 years in the future I don't want to use something from 150 years ago that "still works", I want something that is new with more capabilities, that is cheaper, that does the thing better. Why create undestructible phones that will last 150 years when nobody other than vintage collectors will want them after ~10 years due to other problems with material degradation, fashion etc.

The optimal point is to not create discardable things, but it's also realising that if you're making something forever you're going to use up way more resources and people will still stop using those devices for other reasons, so you just created more waste.

Too short life = too much waste due to replacement needs.

Too long life = too many wasted resources per-device which will be abandoned for other reasons.
i don't think the clones themselves are the problem, but the commercial support available for clones is taking away business from red hat, and that is where the conflict lies.

in a way it is actually a similar problem with amazon and the like offering commercial support for databases.

that is an inherent problem in the FOSS model. on one hand it is great that anyone can offer support for any FOSS software, but when big companies offer that support without giving back to the projects themselves they are undermining the sustainability of the projects.

but i don't have a clue how to solve that, other than everyone just being more considerate and not take advantage of the developers.
Apple makes you jump through a large amount of hoops and approvals to allow CarPlay to work. Combine that with the incompetent manufacturers and you get this situation.

The manufacturers still have to make something to run on the screen. The owner may not have a phone, you're federally required to show a backup camera in all situations, etc etc etc.

Not defending anything here, just explaining that it's not as simple as "just" putting up a dumb pipeline.

The encryption itself will work "forever." (Realistically, very powerful computers could some day obviate contemporary encryption).

The tricky part about PKI and signed TLS certificates has little to do with the encryption and a lot to do with networks of trusted parties. People die and are born, relationships evolve, and so these networks are inherently dynamic.

Certificate expiration is a feature by design, and it's included for a reason.
> No lender is going to lend a business money just so it can pay the owners.

Of course they will! There's an entire industry (leveraged buy outs) built around it. And more generally, lenders will let you do dumb things with the money they lend you. As long as they expect to get paid back.

So, could a small business borrow money to pay it's owners? Probably not, it's not likely to get paid back. Could a multinational corporation borrow money to pay dividends? Yes, it's happened.

> as it is practiced today

Reminder that such situation - science being out of focus, below the attempt to obtain practical results "empirically" - is not necessary but contingent.

The effort towards "science" is just postponed and/or relegated to other researchers in the same field.

And anyway, it is not that the effort towards "explanation" is completely absent. The situation is that many are working on the prospect of achieving big results through bets.
> And really, it just boils down to a shitty planned-obsolescence business decision. Apple knows that they will have enough people to buy (either first-time or upgrade) their newest shiny iPhone come release time every year, even if they continue to support 8-year old phones. Google doesn't have that confidence, so they don't put as much effort into upgrades for older devices. And that's Google, who makes fairly high-end phones; the makers of low-end devices know their users are price-sensitive and won't upgrade phones unless they have to.

I'm not convinced. Apple controls the iPhone market and can do this, but no Android manufacturer controls the Android market. A brand that deliberately reduces its own devices' lifespan can't trust that its consumers will buy another device from the same brand. I think it's just a matter of not offering support being cheaper than some plan to reduced lifespan leading to new purchases.
I didn't mean "complex" in some sort of flippant, derogatory way. The language is suggesting regulation with active government involvement and oversight (licensing, for example). In the range of regulations in the software world, that would be on the far right end. ITAR, for example, requires licensing. People regularly describe the process as "complex".

In many places the information about amino-acid content in vegetables is not presented in a useful form.

It should always be presented by specifying how much you have to eat daily to cover the body necessities.

For example 167 g of lentils per day ensures adequate quantities of all amino-acids, except methionine, while 500 g of wheat flour per day ensures adequate quantities of all amino-acids, except lysine.

Searching now quickly the Web, I see a claim that 4 cups per day of soybean should provide all amino-acids.

I have no idea how much a cup of soybean is, but I assume that it is more than 100 g, so 4 cups might mean more than 500 g, which is too much to eat daily for an average human, without gaining weight.

The only way to eat so much is to use a preparation method that separates proteins from starch.

Where I live, in Europe, using soybean as the main source of proteins for human consumption would be impractically expensive. If meat is avoided, here it is much cheaper and simpler to use a combination of lentils or peas with home-made wheat bread from which most of the starch is removed by washing the dough before baking, which results in a bread highly enriched in proteins.
Android/linux did confirm the following: until it does a not too shabby job at being an operating system, the only thing that matters: mass default installation on devices.

How to do it when the devices are already locked-in by a monopoly? That would be ultra hardcore regulation (USA grade) with alternatives which would have to be financially backed by some means to keep those alternatives "out-of-the-economy", until it reaches economic equilibrium (if ever... since big tech has infinite money...).

That said, current elf/linux distros have a lot of nasty too (planned obsolescence is very strong).
