No, I absolutely reject all of this.

Some things I have learned from now very nearly 30 years of writing for public consumption are:

* Most people cannot skim read

* They don't know that they can't

* As a result of the above, what people get out of articles is semi-random. Their eyes snag on key words and phrases or something and they come back and complain about stuff that was not there or which they totally misunderstood.

* That's why there are so many writing tools about "Fogg indices" and "reading levels" and so on; most people can't read but don't realise.

* That is also why video channels are now so huge.

I am personally not terribly interested in Red Hat's position. I approached the company -- I approached all the companies concerned for comment. I got no responses from most of them, and bland PR banalities when I got anything.

OFF THE RECORD company representatives are often happy to provide interesting details but on the record they can't, or they will get sued.

Everyone is terrified of getting sued. This is FACT #1 to remember: everyone is scared of lawyers getting involved.

So nobody will do anything that will get them sued.

RH would not have done this if it thought it would get sued, but it dare not SAY "we wouldn't do this in case we get sued" -- in case it gets sued.

Therefore there is nothing but bland corporate BS from all involved.

It is very naïve and short sighted not to allow for this.

> Nice deflection and PR work there.

And this is the proof that you don't understand me, or my position, or any of this at all.

I do not use any RH product. I do not recommend them or advocate them.

But more to the point:

Red Hat fired me.

I have no love for RH whatsoever. I have often been accused of anti-RH bias.

But you don't understand what I am really saying.

This move of the company's will make it more money short term, but long term, when I say, in print, REPEATEDLY, "this is good for the Linux world" and "good for other distros" that is because it will lose RH users and lose RH customers and lose RH money.

That will be good news for SUSE, for whom I worked longer than any other job I've ever had and a company whose products I actually like. It will be good for Debian and Canonical and Ubuntu, none of whom I have ever worked for.

> From outside, you seem to fit better in Red Hat's PR department

I should post the loud anguished criticism I have had from RH staffers about this coverage, but that would be a grotesque violation of confidentiality and of professional ethics. Many of them understand as little and as poorly as you do.

Go read my Twitter threads, and see the pages of attacks on me for my anti-RH bias.

> This will continue to happen endlessly in the future until the Sun itself extinguishes all life on the planet, permanently.

Btw, we can conceivable move the earth or keep the sun from going red giant.

The means for these two are currently beyond our technology, but not beyond our science. (Basically, for the latter you need to remove non-hydrogen elements from the sun. Red dwarf stars can last trillion of years, and they are smaller than the sun. So removing the right material from the sun should get us there.

The project would be a gigantic undertaking, but we'd also have tens or even hundreds of millions of years to do it.)

If humanity survives long enough, we are bound to become extremely powerful as science and technology march on.

If you dig a little deeper into the Rivian and Lucid cases, you’ll see there’s no cash to spread around: Those are all long-term, incentive-based packages in currently illiquid equity. There’s a non-trivial chance their net value will be much closer to $0 than those headline numbers.

Re: Bright Health Group, similarly a one-time incentive grant which will likely end up around $0 given the firm’s struggles.

I’m not claiming all CEO pay is wise, of course. But “take 50% of CEO pay and redistribute it to the workers” wouldn’t move any needles.

Satya Nadella can surely afford a few nice yachts at this point, but in aggregate Microsoft handed out $7.5 billion(!!) in stock to its employees last year. His $55M was a drop in the bucket, and given what he’s done for those employees’ stock over the past decade I’d think they’d consider pay like that a bargain at twice the price.
The linked post "Showering at the South Pole" is interesting as well. From how they get their water to its rationing.

If you arrive on a 90 day journey, you can bank your shower points (not shower) until your last day in the station, and spend your shower credits for a 52 minute shower! (1.3 gallons/minute)

> Every 4 days: 137.2 shower-seconds. That’s 2 minutes, 17.2 seconds. Enjoy the extra time! You’ve earned it.

> Every 5 days: 171.5 shower-seconds. That’s 2 minutes, 51.5 seconds. Approaching luxury territory. Enjoy every precious, hard-earned second!

> Every 6 days: 205.8 shower-seconds. That’s 3 minutes (!!), 25.8 seconds. High risk, high reward. If you can hold out, you’ll be able to enjoy an indulgent, almost decadent shower.
It's been over ten years now since I blogged recently, alas, but back in the day blogging got me a book deal and being asked to chair an O'Reilly conference. I recommend everyone blog about what they're into because it's both personally edifying, but it also only takes the right person reading to reach out with an interesting opportunity to be more than worth it.
It's still chugging along in that some client software is still maintained, but the userbase has dwindled. I recently fired up Soulseek for the first time in over a decade, and I was unable to find some indie stuff that was commonly shared back in 2010 or so.
Typical commercial publishing contracts, you can't just stick the book up online for free.
on a global level, no. On a state level, especially a state like Califonia, it's more questionable but still feasible.

Unfortunately, this is more of a city level issue where a disproportionate amount of people are in the large metropolitan cities of San Diego, San Franciso, and Los Angeles. It probably can be handled if we could move them to other counties, but other counties don't want to inherit that burden. Even if a few did they very likely lack the infrastructure and staff to really support something at scale (not necessarily ALL of these homeless, simply enough to start having the population decrease faster than new ones are created.
Not really, I can see why you see it that way but I don't. The guy shared his path in life which was similar but then diverged, gave reasons why, seemed genuine. Was an interesting anecdote to me.

My diesel car from 2020 has a 40-ish litre tank and a range of around 500 miles. I just drove back from my holidays yesterday, which took nearly six hours, including three stops for loo breaks, lunch, and looking around a very small museum. It still had half the tank remaining when I got home. I have never had range anxiety with this car.

A range of 745 miles means ten hours of driving in the best of circumstances without a stop. I cannot imagine wanting to drive for ten hours without stopping. I cannot understand why EV manufacturers are putting such large batteries into cars, especially when I hear how much heavier they are making them.

Recharging aquifers only works if you have permeable rock, a pretty advanced body of knowledge to build these.

The economic benefit was given to them in an opportunistic and exploitative way: for as long as they are cheap and not too demanding, happy to live and work in degraded conditions etc.

Probably less bad than being condemned in medieval living conditions but not an excuse for not thinking about genuinely better ways. The shape of humam economy (eg whether unequal, stratified, slave labor based or more or less egalitarian) is an entirely cultural choice.

Congrats on the new job, I’ve read the blog and it is truly well deseeved.

Regarding on the difficulties of the italian market, I’d like to dissent though.

Fact is, in Italy is waaaaay more simple to cheat your way to the top instead of having to go through the pains of getting a proper degree.

I know because I did it and went from a non graduated outbound call center operator to dirigential positions in highly respected fashionable industries in less than 10 years.

Point is, and with the exception of research roles o and a fistful of high consultancies, who enforce the control on graduation, most likely than not you will not be asked for proof of your studies if your jobtitle carries enough weight and if your accomplishments a friendship with the right people weights enough.

Trick is to change joq with the right frequency in the first years, participate to associations and try to be in the board, blog a lot in the right environments (and specifically there), make a lot of acquaintances and help them solve tricky situations for free, and generally speaking be as visible as possible as a tech savyy and strategist.

At the right moment, the reputation you will have accrued will be enough to receive accreditations beyond the first line of HR, and id your sponsor is notable enough no one will ask for your degree.

Once you have done that the first time, is the weight of your jobtitle and your name that propels you forward, no one willing to question your perceived authority.

Than rinse and repeat until the weight of jobtitle and name combined is unquestionable.

If you know how to behave, you will rise fast.

And good luck to trying that abroad. On a sidenote, once you earned the jobtitle this way in italy, it is easier (but still tricky) to get it abroad as well.

Once I tried to go abroad sometimes I got asked credentials (and subsequently bombed) and sometimes not, wich guaranteed me jobs in Switzerland and France.

Steer away from anglosaxon jobs though, they do enforce the control and most likely they’ll carch your bluff.

last suggestion: shoot for the highest possible pay and change job often enough to beat inflation several times over in 5 years. Above 150k/years almost no one will ask you for degrees. Only your pay and jobtitle and experience will count.

Good luck!
Client-side proxies were a great deal of fun. I started in 1997 with the idea that I could intercept java applets and inspect/modify the byte code. For example I scanned for "new Sound()" and created a gui frame with play/stop buttons for each sound object created. I also blocked some URLs from loading (e.g. ads).

By 1998 I realized that the ad blocking part was much more interesting to me than modifying java applet bytecode, and I started modifying HTML and other content. Instead of just blocking the ads, I removed that HTML so that the layout would change. But I also experimented with altering images, so for example I changed Slashdot's color from green to blue by changing the bytes in the GIFs. I altered headers (e.g. blocking cookies), and also used the Referer header to change the page (e.g. highlighting search words if the Referer was a search engine url). Seeing that I could make the web much faster, I started doing other things, like caching and DNS prefetching (long before Chrome existed). DNS lookup was really slow, in part because Netscape used a single thread implementation (if I remember right).

By 2000 I was using the proxy to implement parallel DNS lookup, chunked encoding, gzip encoding, keep-alive, request reuse. Most of these weren't yet available in browsers, but I implemented them in the proxy and presented a regular HTTP/1.0 connection to the browser. For example if the browser saw three GIFs to the same URL, it'd request that three times. The proxy would intercept these, make one request with gzip, and then feed that data to the three connections the browser made. Web surfing was so much faster with this proxy.

I continued using my client-side proxy for many years after that but over time it became less appealing and I no longer use them today.

I have my proxies written up at http://theory.stanford.edu/~amitp/proxy.html ; also see WebCleaner, a proxy based on mine https://webcleaner.sourceforge.net/

> I'm sure someone with more familiarity with battery...

I won't claim more familiarity, but...

- How frequent/difficult is required maintenance? Recall that old lead-acid batteries often needed distilled water added to their cells.

- Does it need access to air - either supplied to it, or to vent gasses? That introduces a whole host of issues, even if it's not venting (say) hydrogen gas.

- How much does performance degrade when its only cycled through part of its charge/discharge range? Recall the NiCad batteries of yesteryear.

- What are its waste, OSHA, HAZMAT, and other environmental & safety issues? Those apply all the way from the raw materials mines to the final disposal. Which includes accident scenarios - fire / flood / whatever in a facility with many batteries (or parts thereof), one-off car crashes, and things more interesting. "Disposal" includes cases such as "abandoned in a pole barn".

(BTW - kudos for specifying "How available are ...", which covers a far longer list of real-world supply issues than "What is the (current) price of".)
I read this book on an iPod because Doctorow releases the vast majority of his work freely, so I could just upload a text file to my clickwheel. Weird, but awesome.

The book itself is great too. I still think about a lot of the concepts to this day.
I think it is you that is focused on the money. I merely wanted to illustrate that money is no longer a driving force for me, without any relation as to whether or not the GP was doing what they were doing was for the money. Since they indicated that what they were doing was by choice, not out of need I assume that they weren't in it for the money but I'd rather let them speak for themselves.

The reason why I said that I'm not motivated to do another start up and I clearly indicated that for me making a living always was only a partial drive, the other one being that I like interesting tech, is that my health is failing me in many different ways and I don't have the energy for that level of engagement any more. So I consider myself very lucky that I don't have to do any of this. Though, if something really interesting rolls around (a few months ago that nearly happened) I would be sorely tempted but would probably still refuse. Because I know the price of running a start-up isn't measured in dollars but in time and stress.

Finally: you are putting a lot of words in my mouth and thoughts in my head and making all kinds of statements about me. You probably would do better if you asked questions instead of making all kinds of weird inferences.
I think the difficulty is keeping up such goals in the long term and at scale. If you're the only user you can solve something with a simple bash script. Scale it to many users and it turns into creating the smallest common multiple of all the requirements of different users. Documentation, accessibility, localization, multi-platform support, backwards compatibility etc, all while adding new features.

Minimalistic projects like the gemini protocol can be simpler but also have a niche audience, and I bet if it had a billion users you'd again see people building LLM-powered amalgamations of features and somehow make it work via cursed hacks, and some of it would stick and become a new standard.

Not sure if there's a better solution than trying to keep one's own setup more or less simple with specialized, customized tools and an ad blocker. Individually a lot of people can work with a simple window manager or run a factory with punch cards, but you just can't scale that to everyone and probably shouldn't try to.

Although tricks like PAUSE are much cheaper than a naive spinlock, they are still spinning as I understand it, just not as frantically because that's pointless and wasteful.
For accordions, my experience is there are 5-7 rows (each manufacturer varies) per column. The first row is actually the minor 6th (a 3rd below) the second row, which is the note the column is based on.

The following rows in the column are usually a minor, major, minute 7th, major 7th, then sometimes augmented or diminished or MM7.

The root note on the 2nd row is arranged in a circle of 5ths, usually the middle corresponds to middle C (denoted by an indentation)

This is my experience with the LHS of piano keyboards.
I’m going to have to look into this more. Thanks for sharing your experience. I’ve had a seemingly random skin rash that happens on my forehead and my neck and shoulders from time to time and I haven’t been able to figure out the cause of it, or even a name for it. It looks similar to pictures of what you describe as “histamine intolerance”.
Something that most "make your cheese" articles forgot to mention (and this is no exception) is that that large amount of leftover whey can - and should - be used to make ricotta.

https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2014/02/how-to-make-rico...

Making ricotta from fresh milk is just not an accurate way to make ricotta. And, if done properly, is probably even more delicious than any cheese you have been making.

Of course it is much harder for Brits today, because of Brexit.

But I met people working in Czechia from all over the world, from far outside the EU.

It is still perfectly doable. There are companies and free services which will help you.

Brits looking to go abroad, I suspect, look (or looked) first at Western Europe. It's close, it's familiar from holidays and so on.

There is a perception that Eastern Europe is poor and deprived and there's nothing to go there for. (Sorry to my many Czech friends: to the rest of the world, Czechoslovakia is Eastern, even though it's west of Austria. Czechs like it to be called Central Europe.)

This is not true. It is a land of opportunity at present, with lots of foreigners there for work. There are lots of jobs and a need for workers with foreign languages, and far less ageism than in the West.

BUT salaries are low. It doesn't look appealing on paper. It should be, because the cost of living is very low in most ways, so a small paycheque goes a long way, but a salary in Brno of 1/2 to 1/3 of Berlin looks bad... but the cost of living is 1/3 to 1/4 so in fact it's a good deal.

This is equally true of and for Americans. And they'll get healthcare and people don't have guns.
FWIW, I always compile haproxy without PCRE. Have never been interested in backtracking or PCRE. I rarely need more than BRE.
Americans have no sense of quality.

Yes we can sit around discussing philosophy, while we take breaks re-building the semiconductor factory.

Ideas include stuff like “how semiconductors are made” which isn’t capital, unless you count the most recent still-patent-encumbered developments.

> Give people democracy, and note that they vote in capitalism.

And if they don’t, the CIA will make sure a happy little accident happens to the socialist they do vote in.

And yes, books or hard drives are sometimes considered capital. But unless you’re using the most broad definitions of capital, it’d be weird to consider books in a library, or other public institution, capital. It’d be weird to consider my hard drive full of scientific papers that I collected for fun, capital. Capital is stuff that’s used to earn money, not just “stuff”.
Yep, sorry. Edited now.
