There are a lot of OSHW projects I'd love to work on, but the main thing that holds me back is knowing they'd basically go nowhere. I can't post them online for others like with code.

Nobody is going to build it, the physical building of it is way harder than the design, anyone who could build it is too busy building their own projects that will go in the junk drawer in a week.

I would love to work at a real OSHW company, making IoT gadgets and stuff that for production and sale as polished commercial products with a software ecosystem behind them... but I lack a degree, live in Montana, and don't drive, and there are not many companies like that(And most of them are making expensive FOSS phones that don't run normal apps, cryptocurrency stuff, or glorified dev boards kinda pretending to be products)
I wonder what the second-order consequences will be. That is, people will still want to signal their commitment/ability to provide when proposing, so the drop in the price of diamonds won't necessarily reduce the overall outlay.

Instead, it would shift the expense to another category (platinum or other expensive metals) or simply lead people to buy more carats (4 is the new 2!). In some ways, these moves could help luxury brands like Tiffany, since their well-known price premium would provide the same signaling device for folks who want to spend tens of thousands of dollars when proposing.

If you have a laptop screen (especially low resolution screen from 2000s) you cannot have multiple windows visible at the same time and be useful. Imagine if you have a browser, a graphic editor, an IDE and spreadsheet. You simply cannot fit them onto 15" screen.
Is being a "JS killer" even a goal of WASM? From what I understand, WASM's goal is to allow computationally heavy workloads (e.g., image and audio processing) to the browser by providing a compilation target for C code. This is how we get nice things like Figma or MS Office running in the browser.

Let WASM do the number crunching, let JS do the UI.

For a much more charitable view, Everyone everywhere in the US knows walmart and how to get employed by them. Further, they trust walmart will pay on time. How many people know of Dave's cabinetry shop? How many people trust Dave's shop?

To me, a large part of the actual problem here is a marketing problem. It's really hard for a small shop to market that "hey, we need workers, we are willing to pay a premium, and no we aren't a scam company".
An easy problem to solve when you can just plug the headphones in.

I have some family members in the cabinet business. Nobody is paying $60k/yr unless they're getting a lot of OT. They're commuting 2+ hours each way, don't get paid for the drive time, drive their own trucks, have their own tools. Most cabinet shops (almost all) don't provide any kind of benefits or PTO.

So, $25/hr, plus horrible commutes, plus tons of time and expense. There's a reason that guy can't find anybody, he's not telling you the whole story.

Two words: liability chain. This is standard practice in almost every other industry.

I agree with the rest of your points, but I do not think that IP protections should trump regulatory requirements: if a company cannot comply with certain requirements due to contracts with their suppliers, the device should not be allowed on the market.

I think the key word there is M3. There is a Cartesian product between:

- Screw thread (M3 isn't the only type; and not all screws are ISO Metric)

- Screw length

- Intended material (wood, metal, plastic, matching washer, etc.)

- Head type (e.g. pan head, etc.)

- Driver type (e.g. Torx, Phillips, flat, hex, etc.)

- Screw material (e.g. brass, stainless, various coatings, etc.)

- Screw strength (e.g. structural screws which can handle shear, etc.)

- Special properties (e.g. self-tapping)

... and so on.

In most cases, there's a good-enough replacement in my big bin of oddball screws. Sometimes, I do need to redrill or retap the hole first.
So, Google is free. They were hiring for a very expensive employee class and doing 0 research? I find that hard to believe. I think they knew what a dev would cost and were hoping to be hire from the left side of the salary curve.

I've also been in a few interviews where the company was being evasive about the salary range. In every case it was below market and the hiring manager was just too embarrassed or too scammy to state it. Hoping they would hire someone desperate enough (ie "exposure").

> Diamond demand across the board has weakened after the pandemic, as consumers splash out again on travel and experiences, while economic headwinds eat into luxury spending

Are people becoming more careful about such valuable purchases since losing a diamond ring is so heartbreaking? It seems like the concept of "throwaway" rings is increasing so you don't have to worry about losing the real one which is an argument no person ever wants to have with their spouse. I keep my real one locked away and wear a titanium one around.

The history of General Computer Corporation's[0] arcade enhancement boards is an interesting example of this kind of "derivative" work.

GCC made an enhancement board for Missile Command and later for Pac Man ("Crazy Otto", which became "Ms. Pac Man"). Rather than employing simple "ROM hacks" as other enhancement board manufacturers did, GCC specifically built their enhancement hardware not to contain any code copied from the original game ROM. Their hardware patched the existing ROM only by overlaying their code onto the original ROMs, not by copying any of the original code[1].

There's some neat detail in the background slides here[2]. I'd love to hear that talk but I'm not immediately a recording of it.

Sounds like you aren't running 9front. 9front runs on lots of things. We just had a hackathon in early august and there were numerous PC's running 9front. adventuresin9 is working on a pine phone port along with a bunch of mips and arm devices. You aren't paying attention to what is important and instead getting mired in the tediousness of applications.

> I think it would have to be as a virtual userspace implemented on top of Linux with more serious thought given to performance, error handling, and introspection.

There is no point in that at all. The advantage of plan 9 is plan 9's architecture - its not an application. Might as well use p9p on Linux with a rio theme. The only issue in terms of performance is 9p latency over distances but these are fixable problems. But over a LAN its not an issue. Patches welcome. Lastly: "error handling, and introspection" - you need to clarify these as this just reads as fluff.
>It's the developmental pathway for the female reproductive system.

That's pretty immediately a circular dependency though? The more important question is why anyone should take your reasoning over any other about what "Man" and "Woman" mean.

Actually the most important question what makes something a "developmental pathway"? How do you define such? How do you distinguish two similar but different "developmental pathways"?

Reaction: An EM should review code code for ~15 minutes each week, so he has some slight sense of what's happening at the coal face. If things are going well, the team should barely be aware that it happens - and only through rare positive comments about their work.
Watch what happens when the bottom finally drops out of Intel and the cloud retreats behind their own custom ARM or RISC-V server optimized SoCs. Open hardware sources will dry-up.

There are very few OSS hardware vendors that are in a position to pick up supporting the whole ecosystem enchilada. System76 is the only one that comes to mind. They seem to understand to some degree where the puck is heading.

While 'general computing' can't be taken away, what an individual or small company can support won't be able to compete with the locked down systems, especially if the upstream efforts are spread across multiple open source fronts.

Sure, and I don't question that. But at the same time - 99% of people outside of western countries had pirated copies of games (because it was legal in many countries, plus paying normal price was often month+ salary for a single game). Tons of teenagers from western countries (main gamers back in the days) had pirated games, unless they came from a rich family.

Something that is missing from comments in this thread is that companied do not necessarily have the freedom to pay whatever they want.

The equation for any business offering goods and services starts with what their customers are willing to pay for their offering.

If the product is unique (Armani, Gucci, etc.) and with less competition (or brand differentiation/loyalty), prices can be higher than commoditized goods and services.

If the good or service is commoditized and has lots of competition, prices have a real ceiling. For example, nobody is going to go to McDonalds and pay $50 for a cheeseburger. They might pay half that much at a celebrity high-end restaurant, yet, at McDonalds, the limit is somewhere around $5, or 1/10.

That, in turn, dictates how much the business can spend on the rest of the cost structure, fixed and variable costs.

Some seem to think that just because employees ask for a certain number a company should magically be able to do it.

Right now United Auto Workers is asking for a 45% pay increase and working 32 hour weeks while getting paid for 40 hours (which is an additional 25% boost (they are certainly not going to produce 40 hours of work in 32 hours). And more.

This represents a complete disconnect from reality. This kind of thing leads to outsourcing, automation and job loss. Entire industries have already been decimated by this kind of thing.

Trucking is no different. Buyers of transportation services can't pay double rates. This (worse than this) already happened during the pandemic and it brought things down to a grinding halt.

We were paying $30K to move a container that used to cost $2K. You can bet that cost had to be passed on to customers. And the result? Less orders. Less work. We had to let people go.

There's a utopia being taught out there that vilifies all business. If one digs, this always come from people who have never run anything even resembling a non-trivial business. Of course, from a frame of reference rooted in pure ignorance, anything is possible.

If you want people at McDonalds to make $50 hour, go pay $25 for a burger. Heck, if you are passionate about this, lets pass legislation that allows restaurants to charge a variable rate. They post the minimum they want for their product and the customer is allowed to pay more. Brilliant. We can align cost and wages with ideology.

How many people are going to go into McDonalds and offer to pay $25 to $50 for a burger. Yeah. The number is zero. Of course. So much for ideology vs. reality.

This is no different from people pushing for higher taxes. In the history of humanity (I think I can say this) nobody has voluntarily chosen to send the government more than what they are required to pay and lead by example in support of their ideology. The world is funny that way. Talk, talk, talk. And 100% of is is hypocritical.
I think if the box says updates until the beginning of 2025, and they've stopped providing updates before then, you have a pretty good contract lawsuit against them. You'd have to show that their failure to issue a patch for four months constitutes a breach, but that is exactly the kind of thing that gets hashed out in lawsuits. You could even have a class action of all the owners suing the manufacturer. We think one of the great opportunities of this labeling program is to begin developing a caselaw of what it means to hold a manufacturer to the commitments on the label.

> Do you not see how it’s problematic that you have these oversights?

I do. We do. Note that none of the OpenTF folks downplayed it. We acknowledged. We will fix the process. We will move on. In my book, that's how mature people and organizations react. Mistakes are unavoidable, important is how you deal with them.

The alternative I suppose would be to collectively fall on our swords because some committers from one company had a different style of working, and the tech lead from another company took his way of working for granted. I don't think we can continue living with this shame.

> If it's a matter of national security surely you don't use IoT devices connected to the public internet.

Of course they do. That's the flip side of PaaS and reverse-NIH syndrome, the "opex > capex" thinking: "Industry 4.0" is built on web tech, with all the practices and assumptions baked in. Your critical infrastructure is, or is about to, be running JavaScript on a docker-compose cluster, and expecting to be piecemal-updated daily.

And then, there's also "shadow IT" - going behind the back of IT and using COTS SaaS to work around red tape is still... going around IT and giving untracked third-party vendors access to organizational information and operations. "Making its way" doesn't only mean "introduced by design" - those vulnerabilities just creep in.
Inter is extremely pleasant to read long walls of text. It is also fantastic because of great disambiguation options for accessibility (which many "modern" fonts miss out).
Diamonds are not that rare. They're durable, so it's not like an old diamond is going to break or something. So, there should be plenty of diamonds for everyone who wants one. Rings made in the 1920s and up probably have some sort of diamond in it, and if you don't like the ring, keep the gem and craft a new ring around it. I prefer more rare stones, such as a padparadscha sapphire, or Alexandrite. I prefer to give my woman a gemstone as rare as she is, and as colorful as she is, not something which has virtually no color, and is definitely not rare.
