RMS, not being a judge, is incapable of "authoritatively" or otherwise determining whether this notice is legally binding.

If it is something that needs to be "confirmed" by someone "authoritatively" then you should ask a lawyer for advice. You should not ask a programmer for a "ruling".

What RMS might be saying is "we won't seek to enforce it". That is completely different.
I agree that it would be interesting to learn what non-strong monads look like. But the blog post does (implicitly) answer some of your questions:

It says that all monads in the Set category are strong. That would include Haskell monads, at least those expressed in the usual way as type constructors, to the extent that Haskell types model sets.

And you can see that the "strength" operation relies on the existence of tuples behaving like Cartesian products of sets. Such objects might not exist in other categories.
Why shouldn't they? People don't buy operating systems to be slimmed down...

If you got a computer and it didn't come with all the needed drivers and a web browser along with most of the functionality needed to print, you'd most likely wonder what decade it came from. All that stuff I listed, without the telemetry is still going to run like dog shit on a HDD.

I honestly think users are forgetting just how badly fragmented hard drives of days yonder used to run, and those same spinning disks are not any faster these days. Cutting down the OS to barely do anything still took more time than the complete boot cycle of my current computer up to a browser on an SSD.

Yes, people working in tech and with free time can do that, but many don't want to go down that rabbit hole anymore and fiddle with their OS to get it to where Nobara is, and would rather go for something that's already preconfigured out of the box for the best gaming experience where everything is already set and you can immediately start installing and playing games after installing the OS, similarly to Windows is. That's the whole point of these distros.
So it didn't occur to them to buy both, take on of each? Yeah, I've always thought _Seinfeld_ was waay overrated for intelligence.
Currently SDXL is better than SD1.5 checkpoints at pretty much everything other than portraits (or anime drawings) of pretty women.

Low income spend a higher % of their income - therefore inflation is bad (rent/food/gas costs more).

High income save & invest a higher % of their income - therefore inflation is good (their stocks go up).

This isn't some sort of moral or judgmental statement. It's simple math. The more your income goes up over time, the less of a % is needed to cover the basics of food/shelter/energy.
The other technical solution to this problem is flatpak (and the others in this space). They vendor the libs (including libc) so you avoid the linking issues.

In the gaming world where steam installs apps itself and you need the Windows version for commercial viability anyways, it does make sense to push them to win32.

Outside of gaming though, I don't really see this being the case. You random desktop apps are better off with flatpak and distros like Fedora are already moving everything that direction. Flathub also has the benefit of allowing devs to push to one repo and support multiple distros (again, like Steam).
Details depend on jurisdiction, and exact legal structuring.

(Eg where I live, there's no capital gains tax, so someone like Elon Musk could just sell their shares without any extra taxes, instead of having to borrow against them.)
I really love the sudden surge of open sources businesses coming out of YC and in general. I share some of the same sentiments in the post, having open sourced my SaaS business of 7 years earlier this year. One of my main driving forces was market pressure from enterprises wanting to self-host. One of the other drivers was my bus-factor of 1, as was longevity as you mentioned. Time will tell if the distribution side of things will ring true for my business, but I'm hoping it will judging by initial growth i.r.t. CE.

How can economic waste be profitable? Maximum profit = minimum (economic) waste.

Minimizing physical waste isn’t always a good thing. Take it to an extreme to illustrate: one million engineers spend their whole careers to make a platinum toaster that will last billion years.

On the other extreme: one engineer slaps together a plastic toaster that breaks when you put the bread in.

Somewhere in between those two is an optimal point. We have to balance our energy, resources, brainpower, time, physical waste, and optionality effectively.

That balancing point is the perfect toaster, it makes a ton of profit, it doesn’t break before one use, and it doesn’t last forever either.
Black Holes Swallow Everything, Even the Truth
In my experience, this is all disclosed (partner/manager/associate). Pretty much any proposal I've seen from the top firms includes a cost estimate built by using hours x rate for each respective job title and often further broken down by stage of the project. Time and material bids are most common so you should be asking for this up-front, I actually view it as a bit of a red flag if they don't voluntarily disclose/bid it this way (eg. if I'm paying for time, I need to know how much time is being planned for and by which rate level).

The (2009) tag seems inappropriate if it's only published now.
I'm not playing semantics there.

The word "economy" in the discussions around growth and de-growth is used to describe a multitude of things, notably (1) money (commonly looked at it in terms of GDP) or (2) production (commonly looked at in resource and goods produced, and services rendered). Because they are notoriously not well correlated (because of the capital market, inflation, ...) there are multitude of examples where (1) is growing while (2) is shrinking.

If you're saying "shrinking economies don't innovate", do you mean "Economies with shrinking GDP don't innovate", or "Economies whose production drop don't innovate". This is wildly different, and, contrarily to your comment, fundamental to discuss this idea.

When it comes to accepting someone's opinion in blind faith because they're smart, do whatever you want. Undocumented opinions coming from smart, educated people are valuable opinions ; but they're opinions nonetheless.
I don't see a conspiracy spanning every level of government and the media, I guess? It seems like something close to that would be required for so many people from so many different political backgrounds to look and find nothing.

Your example doesn't make sense. Linux distributions have always had this trade off: Binaries provided through the package manager work with the libraries that are provided by the same package manager. I have a bunch of older gog or Humble Bundle Linux releases of games that still work fine on my system because (Windows style) they carry around all of their libraries with them. Linking Xorg doesn't make sense and applications linked statically against libX11 will work perfectly fine even with Xwayland.

Can you point me to a current-day independent artist which hasn't been signed to a label that is pulling this amount of money just on streaming?

Valve may have contributed to the issue initially, but can you blame them? There wasn't exactly an abundance of Linux Support before Valve came along either. Why would they support a Linux Steam client and the whole compatibility layer when the demand just didn't exist.

Valve becoming big enough to break into the hardware market (first Steam Machines and then the Steam Deck) was the first time they had any incentive to care about the OS layer. They could've made some deal w/ Microsoft but instead went the open-source route to the benefit of everyone. Kudos to Valve.

Indeed. Very important subject, weak article.

The best example is Japan. Japan was growing and innovating rapidly until 1989. Then there was a crash. The Nikkei index went down, and down, and down, until bottoming out in 2014 at about a quarter of the peak. Then recovery began, although the level of 1989 has never been exceeded.[1]

In the 1970s and 1980s, Japan powered the world's consumer electronics industry. From ICs to VCRs to cars, it all came from Japan, with good quality at low prices. Then that ended. Not because the business sector was in decline. China wasn't a major competitor in the 1990s. But the growth in Japan had stopped.

This used be called the "lost decade" in Japan. Then the "lost decades".[2]
So Japan is where to look at this problem.

Innovation in Japan declined despite massive government attempts to push it. Japan has "Tsukuba Science City", which has many government-funded labs but is not the home of major industries. So that didn't really work.

What happened?

And yet nobody use calls a vector of 1 a pointer.

The question is not about the utility of box<T>, i am sure there are cases where such a structure would be need.

But box<T> is not a "pointer" in the C++ sense same as an array/vector of 1 is not a pointer.

The authors is needlessly complicating things and mixing concept there are pretty orthogonal. And i think this is the result of trying to fit box<T> which is not a pointer inside a taxonomy of pointers...
It does help, as the DOI system provides the tracking needed to count citations and measure the "effectiveness" of the researcher.
Penn Jillette: Maybe I’ll tell you the truth
_when pacific islanders roll up trying to create indentured servitude on mars, we can expand & adjust the models and definition as needed. But for now there's no value in attempting to generalize, the narrow model fits the conditions we are presented with._

If you could travel to Mars in an open-air vehicle, and then land and survive on the surface wearing nothing more than ordinary clothing, and get your water from local streams and rivers, and grow crops on the surface with no special effort -- _and_ if Mars was already inhabited by human societies adapted to the land, whose food you could eat, with technology roughly equivalent or somewhat below yours, and political divisions you could exploit, and wealth and products you could extract -- well, then your European-colonialism analogies might have some relevance.

The reality is "the narrow model" (of European colonialism) doesn't remotely fit "the conditions we are presented with"... But we seem to be in the mode of "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail": when all you know is European history, European history is the only possible model.

(Really, something like the Maori colonization of New Zealand -- which had no pre-existing population, and required the settlers to bring their own crops and scout for resources for making tools -- is _marginally_ more relevant. Even more relevant are things like research stations in Antarctica, where -- again -- there's no pre-existing population, and where you simply _can't_ grow food locally or easily survive outdoors.)

> Pro tip here: Put your batteries and power cables in a checked bag. Only take your cell and laptop as a carry-ons to prevent them from "disappearing". Works most of the time, especially with full flights and/or busy days.

Really, DO NOT do this! There's a reason batteries need to be in carry on luggage - because they can spontaneously catch fire mid flight, and while it might be unpleasant, if it does happen in the cabin it will be spotted and dealt with rather than having an uncontrolled fire in the luggage hold which is also generally rammed full of other flammable things like clothes.

And in any case, all carriers and governments require batteries to be in carry-on luggage AFAIK, so even if you disagree that there's a fire risk, you're still breaking the law. But then as the rest of your points seem to be mostly concerned with the possibility of being caught for breaking the law, I guess you don't care about that.

Agreed. Those properties, along with the impact of compound interest. However, another point I have is that similar yields are accessible by non-0.1 percenters by just buying a broad-market low-fee index fund like VTI/VTSAX.

I know that. I'm heretic. Moreover, I'm too stupid to understand all these great theories. I need simple explanations.

> For the broader point, if there were galaxies trillion of light years away whose light had time to reach us, they'd be trillions of years old by now, and therefore we'd expect a lot more galaxies near us to be that age too.

Of course, not. Space is mostly empty. If elementary particles are generated constantly from pure energy (which doesn't violate laws of conservation) just of pure luck at cosmic scale, then light from distant neighbors slowly pushed this newborn dust into the center of a gigantic void, where it started to concentrate. In such case, we will have huge gap of void between our region of space and our neighbors.

> Also, they'd have to go on forever to not look clumpy, and then we would still need a source of red-shift to stop them being as bright as the surface of a star in all directions.

Surface area of a distant object reduces at r^2, while brightness of the distant object diminishes at r^3. Moreover, the probability of hitting something grows with d^1, so total brightness diminishes with (d^3*d)/d^2 = d^2. The number of objects in the sky increases with area = d^2. So, d^2/d^2 = const. I see no infinity. At average, the brightness of sky must be very similar in all directions. The larger the distance - the closer to average brightness must be.
CMB must be almost ideal.
That's just one part of the equation, and it's not even a requirement. The rich can get richer once they have reached what I call "escape velocity", where they have reached a level of wealth that their way of living will always be taken care of, hence they are free to throw their excess wealth at things in a way that an ordinary person wouldn't necessarily tolerate in terms of risk.

Then there's things like inheritance, foundations, access to better financial advisors and portfolio managers, access to social networks of other wealthy people, etc.
Until you do, and realize they have no clue.

Not a real equivalent. Those machines are made by many, many people along the way. Industries exist from those machines.

With software you could say chip makers, developers, and energy companies will get stronger but I don't think there's a comparison. The keyholders will be a much smaller group with a greater power if we stay onboard the AI train.
I wish more engineers thought this way. As someone who works in infrastructure it’s the story I tell myself to justify/rationalize my place in the world. When I ship big infrastructure performance improvements it’s not about the speed or money saved per se, it’s less CO2 in the atmosphere and more human life (amortized over millions of people) spent on something other than waiting for a computer to respond.

We aren’t doctors saving individuals’ lives but what we can do is give people fractions of their lives back. Some software is used by hundreds of millions or billions of people, so small changes there can save many “lives” worth of time.
Funny how people are willing to deny benefits to others while claiming different benefits for themselves. Me thinks you'd feel differently if, say, a fund were created to compensate people for consuming PFASs (which you undoubtedly have). Or, maybe not.

Given same rate of return, the one who puts in the most money gets richer faster, in absolute dollars.

The article says that on top of this, those with more capital get better relative returns too. You don't refute this by just saying it's not so. The increasing wealth disparity we observe would seem to support this idea.

I don't think that's the case. For example, the current German "far-right" party wants to stop low-skilled immigration, which is very far from the authoritarianism of a communist dictatorship. Moreover, healthcare and education are considered left topics, not far-left. Far-left are rather things like UBI, or woke topics like allowing MtF transsexuals in woman bathrooms or introducing race quotas in various professions.

> but their big contribution was really fixing a problem they themselves created.

I think it’s a little bit of a stretch to say it’s a problem they created - they were just a victim of their own success. They can’t force developers to write games in a particular platform, and making games work under Linux is no small task.

It was probably easier to stream games from a Windows machine, which was their first approach with Steam Link and Steam Machines. It kinda sorta worked, and what they saw was enough encouragement to go and build the Steam Deck. On top of that, CPUs/GPUs just weren’t good enough 10 years ago to do what Valve wanted to do.

So I think it’s a little unfair to say they “created” this problem.
