They are not virtual substitute, they are actual debates but through a medium different than voice. Of course, the experience is different, but that doesn’t make it "virtual", just like going to the cinema is not a "virtual substitute" to live theater.

Do you have a source on that "should" part. Because the spec disagrees https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7230#section-3.2.4:

> Historically, HTTP has allowed field content with text in the ISO-8859-1 charset [ISO-8859-1], supporting other charsets only through use of [RFC2047] encoding. In practice, most HTTP header field values use only a subset of the US-ASCII charset [USASCII]. Newly defined header fields SHOULD limit their field values to US-ASCII octets.

In practice and by spec, HTTP headers should be ASCII encoded.

Idea : the executives who paid for this article could instead choose to organically grow profits instead of using the cover-up of 'inflation' to price gouge and put money in their own pockets, instead of blaming the folks who are making the profits for the company.
What worries me is this "we're lucky" sentiment is only temporary. In my situation, if my pay drastically changes due to emerging technologies causing future job cuts and order of magnitude competition over jobs, "we're lucky" can turn to "we're worried" in a year and "we're screwed" in 10... if "we're lucky".

Compound that with property taxes: I just heard a neighbors condo's taxes go up from 8k to 18k in a single year.

This is called the "wage-price" spiral. It is not the cause of inflation. Inflation is caused by the government diluting the value of money by printing lots and lots of extra money.

What's interesting is that neither of those drive inflation. Inflation is the expansion of the money supply, and there is a sudden attempt to redefine it as increased costs of goods and services. Money supply goes up, costs of assets follow, then costs of goods and services, and then wages. None of the things downstream from expansion of the money supply "drive" inflation.
It stops by far most people from driving. The ones who are undeterred and keep on driving without a license are then fair game for the criminal justice system.

Even if this minority gets away with continue driving without a license and wont get punished, you still save many lives by taking the vast majority of drunk drivers off the road. That alone is worth it.

Fine fine-grained permissions systems like selinux end up introducing bizarre error conditions that are outside of upstream's test suite. Those error conditions are often exploitable.

They also assume that having distributions and end users produce a multi-MB security policy written in an arcane, poorly-documented policy language will somehow lead to a correctly configured sandbox.

I greatly prefer the OpenBSD approach, where the upstream application developer builds calls to things like pledge(2) into their program, and then tests that it behaves correctly before releasing it:

They have their causality backwards for this one. It's already been shown (repeatedly) that the cause of inflation in the last few years has been primarily driven by increased corporate profits, meaning prices are going up.

People just want enough money to afford inflation.

It's because it's addictive, and we live in a capitalist free society. Bad things can be stimulating, fun, and addictive, and so people will still partake in those things to their own deficit. We can't just ban things because they have negative consequences, cigarettes literally kill people and they're still in every corner store, but this is especially an issue when it comes to mediums for free speech. The companies responsible have no incentive to prevent harm, because what they are doing is profitable. The more addictive their product is, the more money they make.

That's called cost-push inflation, and is an invalid theory. Inflation comes from government running the money printing press overtime.
Sure, elevated inflammatory cytokines are consistently shown in imaging studies to reduce brain activity in motivation areas, and drive it in anxiety related areas [1]. So it makes sense to me that we would seek the lower effort emotional rewards that social media platforms can provide. What I'm surprised by here is that they don't find it's then used for entertainment value, but rather for social engagement. Which would indicate it drives a need to seek particular levels of oxytocin and vasopressin specifically:

> it's associated with social media to specifically interact with other users, like direct messaging and posting to people’s pages. Interestingly, inflammation did not lead people to use social media for other purposes—for example, entertainment purposes like watching funny video

Also, Boomers are aging out of the job market - they're either unwilling to work any longer and/or unable to work any longer. This has been known for decades. Guess what? The day of reckoning has come. As the labor market contracts the cost of labor will rise.

This is just basic market economics.
The fundamental problem to me has always been that people cannot agree on standards, so this a relatively good solution to that problem. I can't think of a better one that doesn't involve people needing to come together to agree on a standard.

Personally I prefer an environment where people are free to experiment and not be held back by backwards compatibility and opinions. Any utility that can automate backwards compatibility is good imo.

This debate will never die, but while people have been complaining about it, Flatpak has quietly just become a better way to package software for end users. My criteria is that I'm a user, I don't care about what's elegant to developers -- and I have fewer problems with Flatpak than I have with non-Flatpak software. The vast majority of Flatpak problems I do have as a user come down to sandboxing permissions that I actually quite appreciate. The (very) few architectural problems are problems I would have had with other bundling systems too.

"Developers are lazy" -> No, no user ever wants to debug dependency issues, and developers can't get rid of dependency issues. This feels like a repeat of the Rust debates where C developers kept complaining that good developers just don't have memory errors. Okay whatever you're very talented, congratulations; but most software isn't written by people who can reliably support multiple distros and lowering the skill requirements to maintain software is good actually because I use hobby projects all the time. Even outside of hobby communities, GoG's Linux installer is so borked that half of the time it's easier to install the Windows versions of the games and run them through Wine (because then you can use Bottles which provides dependency isolation). And I am completely convinced that dependency management is the problem -- Flatpak apps don't have these issues, at least not nearly as many.

I'm not saying everything should be a Flatpak, but certainly at the very least most Linux games should be, anything that's graphical that isn't being distributed through an official package manager is a good candidate to at least consider Flatpak. I'm always grateful when I can install a graphical app through Flatpak instead of AUR.

Is it the future? Flatpak critics spend a lot of time bashing Flatpak and very little time proposing equivalent fixes or acknowledging why Flatpak exists in the first place. If those issues were solved and the solutions popularized on mainline distros, maybe Flatpak wouldn't be the future. But I'm not holding my breath. This article proposes GoG's system as an alternative and says the existing problems are minor and easy to solve. 2 years later, I have literally never gotten a GoG native Linux installer to run without problems on the Steam deck.

I'm not even saying it has to Flatpak, but whatever system you want to propose (Snap, AppImage, whatever) very clearly dependency isolation is better for end users and results in fewer bugs. "It takes up too much space" just isn't a real critique when the alternative being proposed almost universally fails to run on my hardware.
[I'm not recommending this, but maybe… No, no. I'm not sure…]

It isn't even just the newer shells that have solved this, zsh also has a solution out of the box¹. The extensive globbing support in zsh can largely replace `find`, and things like zargs allow you to reuse your common knowledge throughout the shell.

For example, performing your first example with zargs would use regular option separators(`--`), regular expansion(`{1..5}`), and standard shell constructs for the commands to execute.

I'll contrive up an example based around your file counter, but slightly different to show some other functionality.

f() { fs=($1/*(.)); jo $1=$#fs }
zargs -P 32 -n1 -- **/*(/) -- f

That should recursively list directories, counting only the files within each, and output² jsonl that can be further mangled within the shell². You could just as easily populate an associative array for further work, or $whatever. Unlike bash, zsh has reasonable behaviour around quoting and whitespace too.

Edit to add: I'm not suggesting zargs is a replacement for parallel, but if you're only using a small subset of its functionality then it may be able to replace that.

That’s not true. The language of Parallel’s citation notice, while confusing to some users, does not impose any legal requirements and is not part of the license. Neither the notice nor the license claim otherwise. RMS, and more importantly, Ole Tange, agree that Parallel’s notice is not legally binding, and intended to write it that way, and there is a publicly visible history of this intention and agreement.
