I've been at two large FreeBSD users that switched to Linux, and the reason was never performance.

Yahoo switched to Linux because having a single server OS is nicer than having two, acquisitions were nearly all running Linux, and Linux was at least good enough (although having all of Overture crash at the same time because of a leap second bug in the Linux kernel, twice, wasn't great), and maybe something about easier to hire for kernel engineers.

WhatsApp switched to Linux because the server team was mostly ex-Yahoo and had seen how much strife running a different OS than your acquirer in their datacenters causes. There was enough non-negotiable strife from all of the other tech and philosophy differences, that accepting the acquirer kernel that is at least good enough was worthwhile.

I'm not saying FreeBSD or Linux has better performance. I like the reputation FreeBSD has for network performance, and it certainly has good performance, but is it better than Linux? I don't know, I never ran apples to apples comparisons, because whenever I was involved in a switch, the hardware was going to be very different, and the changeover was a policy decision rather than a technical one.

Personally, I run FreeBSD when I can, and Linux when I have to. FreeBSD's development model and smaller team lead to less churn, and I value stability and consistency. Other people have different values, and that's fine too.

There's a book "The People's Republic of Walmart" that makes these arguments. Walmart is a massive company, as large as some entire countries even, that operates an internal economy based on central planning. They tell all their suppliers exactly what will be produced, in what quantities, when it will be delivered and largely what it will cost. Modern stock control systems and supplier integration make it feasible.

I’m pretty sure employers are paying a lot more for workers to be in office than for them to work from home. The commute would be a tiny fraction of the electricity office space and other costs they pay for workers to be in office.
Yeah, but they get hassled by RTO, so some win for employer.

As a generality, "unsafe voyage" is a reasonable thing to outlaw. Morons will need search & rescue on the CG's taxpayer-supplied dime, then maybe need medical care at public expense, too. Plus too-trusting friends & family who are along for the ride on their SS Davey Jones, collisions with other boats, cleaning up the wreckage and oil slicks, etc., etc.

Vs. this guy's "water wheel" seems to fairly-mostly avoid those issues, if the CG could just say "YOYO" and forget about him.
I agree in general. This post from Raymond does have me wonder why their keyboard input queue is soo large it takes minutes to clear.

In the IP world the idea of buffering a few minutes worth of data is not normal or optimal. There may be some small buffer but generally for best latency and performance we avoid large buffers and drop packets/inputs beyond the buffer capacity.

So while maybe not strictly a security issue (I can understand why someone might think of it as a DoS), I wonder if it made Microsoft reconsider their input queue size.

Yikes, that issue you opened is like the exact opposite of proper etiquette for asking maintainers of open source software to help you. Basically what you’re doing is making a feature request, there is no bug or issue with TWRP as multiple people told you on GitHub. It’s absolutely not cool to continue to hound open source contributors for timelines like that. You’re not their boss, if it’s such an important issue to you fix it yourself and create a pull/merge request.
Evolutionary Computation has, surprisingly, been successfully integrated in many engineering (not software!) problems such as antenna design, aerodynamics and whatever else has to do with shape optimization.
If we boil the definition of of socialism vs capitalism into "who owns the means of production?" Capitalism answers "a small group of people by natural right" and socialism answers "everyone, collectively". These definitions leave you with the only alternative being "a different small group of people" (arguably the USSR did model this, ergo allegations of "state capitalism"). Given industrial production (assuming no one is advocating for a return to feudalism) it's one or the other, there's a privileged class or there's not.

If you mean why has no one come up with different ideas for _accomplishing_ socialism post-Marx (or Lenin or Mao), well they have. There's all kinds of weird and wild ideas out there. Searchable terms for interesting ideas on organizing society include "participatory economics" and "democratic confederalism".
> its only really highly intolerant people which I exclude.

Do you actively exclude them? I try to be their friends I just inevitably end up saying something that makes them mad.

> I do vote however, I vote for the things I find desirable and people I find honnorable.

I don't have well adjusted opinions on what the ideal society would look like for the average person.

For example, you're assuming that tolerating homosexuality is what society desires. While I agree with you that this should be what society desires because I don't see any real harm to homosexuality, the same could also be true of other things which you may not be in favour of.

I asked here recently what is wrong with teenage pregnancy and why are people so mean to those who want to be teenage mums? You could argue it's not in the child's best interest, but then neither is having poor parents or two dads. You could argue that the teen should have a chance at an education and career, but you could argue family is equally if not more important.

This is the problem with my extreme tolerance. I'm tolerant of things that 99.9% of people here would find problematic. Even on the gay-rights issue I question if the state should be allow enforce tolerance towards gay people with force. It seems intolerant to use force on business owner who morally disagrees with homosexuality and doesn't want to serve those they see as "evil". And while I could come up with arguments why we should use state force here I'm too tolerant of both positions to form a strong opinion on it myself. So I suppose my default position here would be closer to "let individuals discriminate against individuals" rather than the state taking either side.

I have too many anti-social views to be feel confident that me voting would be in the best interest of society. I'll argue in favour of homosexuality, but I'm not willing to vote and attempt to make the state force my views on others.
> Which seems to be very much a false dichotomy.

We live in a mixed economy. The false dichotomy is generally one purported by Socialists as the worldview depends on it. The ranks of "anarcho-Capitalists" are comparatively very few.

I haven’t noticed hiring has gotten any worse since 2020. If anything I think 2020 was the peak of multiple rounds of ridiculous competitive programming challenges. The last few interviews I’ve had didn’t have any leet code style problems.
The problem with venture-funded neobanking business model today is that growth is expensive. CACs for traditional US banks have always been high (ever gotten an offer of several hundred dollars to open an account?), and it's even higher for an upstart with no brand equity.

On top of the high CAC, the pressure for growth is strong for venture-funded businesses, leading to more spending on marketing.

While the author does list opportunities to generate revenue, in my experience the annual revenue per user is at least 10x lower than CAC, meaning you can't generate a profit for decades, even discounting fraud losses as 0.

This is an absolute triumph. Over the course of several years (starting about 15 years ago) I've been looking for a way to go through SICM and FDG without dredging up an MIT scheme that's useful for nothing else, or dealing with a partial reimplementation in a language with much less expressive power.
I didn’t bring it up, it was a quote from the article that was being discussed upthread.

I don’t believe in disrespecting anyone because of their beliefs prima facie. It’s how they react to those beliefs being challenged that I find myself losing respect for them over.

It’s like the difference between “suffer the little children, for they know not what they do” and “ whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble”.

Now I can’t speak for the article’s author or the other replies above us, but to me that is the kind of bigotry I have problems with.

In my experience, people who hold beliefs like “black people innately are more criminal” react more immaturely to discussion than people discussing the underpinnings of astrophysics do.

Also note that my spectrum for respect is orthogonal to my spectrum for love/hate. Just because I don’t respect someone due to their beliefs doesn’t necessarily mean I hate them or think they are evil. But I’m less likely to be influenced by their opinions in the future, or to even give them the time to listen to what their opinions are on other things.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Amazon of ~7 years ago was a great customer experience. Second to none in online retail. I happily had a Prime subscription. I avoid 2023 Amazon like the plague because of multiple bad experiences with their shipping and lack of trust that what I receive will be genuine and fit for purpose. It's basically AliExpress with faster shipping.

I think Amazon (at least their retails arm) is largely coasting on its past success at this point. If another retailer came along and offered the 2023 Amazon shopping experience they would crash and burn instead of becoming the dominant e-commerce website.
I work from home and would never work in an office even with a "normal" commute. Two hours on a regular basis is something else though, I think there's definitely an added risk to a long distance commute that doesn't get talked about enough.
I think that the article is a countervailing idea against the idea of the "paradox of tolerance."

If you accept the paradox of tolerance, then the truly intolerant are the ones you should not tolerate. Taken to its extreme, you can apply the paradox of tolerance to shun anybody that does not conform to ideological purity.

There is a balance to be found between the two extremes.

Office is also just cheaper, it's 1/4 the price for the lifetime license than it used to be. The family offering is still the best deal I've seen to get it though. Not all subscriptions allow multiple users or even you to use it at the same time on multiple devices though, Office is just pushing that sale.

Hallucinations are awesome sometimes. It hallucinates great APIs that you can than take and implement them. I also use it as an early audience to build up my arguments, as dialectics is kind of a refined hallucination. It's also a very good idea summarizer and doesn't hallucinate too much in that case.
It is great for NLP tasks that were hard previously, too. I remember spending two months to implement a decent aspect based sentiment analysis model and now I get a better version with the turbo-gpt model without any training and there's no big hallucination problem over there.
You may have too high expectations from a statistical model to be an expert in uncommon or esoteric matters, as there's too many of those and they may look similar enough to other ideas that the model finds it more likely that there exists an explanation that it didn't see than that there isn't one on the web. Therefore the utility of hallucinated APIs.
My problem with their web service is that I pay 20$ and I still have to complete awful CAPTCHAs on a daily basis and GPT4 doesn't fix the smaller model issues, just amplifies it's strengths.
> confirmed that they think it is a real security issue

There is no definition or even industry consensus of what is a real security issue. Scoring systems are widely accepted as flawed. So in practice, this isn't how it works, as the article demonstrates.

When visiting england recently, the main problem seemed to be that both red labour and “blue labour” have essentially the same policies regarding regulation (more is better) and taxation (more is better), the only difference is deciding who pays the increased taxes, the poor or the rich. The idea of actually stimulating wealth creation, and then taxing it instead of taxing and regulating it into oblivion seems to have slipped everybody’s minds…

People always discover that certain things they want require centralized planning, like welfare, a strong military, or high tech goods. The problem with socialism in practice is that it always ends up being more about being anti-capitalism than pro-syndicalism or pro-direct democracy, so you always end up with a scenario where power gets more centralized to the state.

Completely agree. Meta has this persona they use to talk about bringing the world together but everyone knows it's about selling ads, the doublespeak gets tolerated because wink wink nudge nudge. I see these as two sides of the same coin. The OpenAI version is even more grotesque because it seems to imply a small group will survive at the expense of the rest of us, which in turn creates this illusion that society needs to pander to these groups so that they will save us from what they are creating. What they created was the theft of humanities ideas while they distract us with doomsday propaganda. It's so gross.

Honestly, I have experience with both and Telegram is far superior. Yes, it was created by "Russian Zuck", and it was also blocked in Russia for a long time. It is argued, if FSB has keys to decrypt Telegram. I personally did not see evidence to that. Some of the options widely used in the EE:
- by default chats are not e2e but there is a quite secret option.
- built-in proxy support to add another encryption layer and avoid blockings.
- there are news channels which is a very convenient way of getting and sharing content. Yes, WhatsApp is getting these now.
There is a ton of other features which are only now coming to WhatsApp, which has e2e by default for every chat.
On the other hand, lately, I feel that Telegram is going to also have-it-all which is annoying. Even stories now

It is a distinction without a difference. I buy on Amazon, I pay on Amazon. They have a complicated supply chain with third party sellers, but it doesn't make them immune from import bans.

Yes, that is true, but yet to see any citation of an ban on imports, sale, or use.
Speaking of Communism "the goal" (classless, stateless ) vs "the philosophy", then that's a nonsensical statement. What preceded in Russia and China was precisely meant to advance Communism.

It isn't, though. I'd say it's 50/50.

I started using the Internet in 1998, and the only advice my parents gave me was "Don't reveal anything about yourself online." (Thankfully I heeded their warning and still to this day I'm very guarded about disclosing any form of PII.)

Whilst admittedly a lot has changed in the last 25 years, I'd say only half the parents will actually try to keep their kids safe online.

The other half will sit around watching crappy reality TV shows getting angry at their five-year-old children finding porn on their own personal smartphone* because they don't want to look up how to prevent them from doing that, and instead absolve that responsibility to the gov't...

...who in turn use that as an excuse to censor the Internet.
