stallman doesn't have some highly rare medical condition, he's just a lazy hippy programmer type. and it sounds like he's got reasonably decent hygiene.
if you read the comments posted here and know the spirit of this community, it's pretty obvious this isn't in the spirit of it. People need information, but this isn't the place for "me too".
On top of the sibling commenter's point (that timing is everything - a 2015 failure doesn't guarantee a 2023 failure), Steam Machine wasn't the same as what the gp is suggesting.

Steam Machine was a PC-like piece of hardware aimed at competing in the console market. The gp is suggesting a gamer-oriented piece of software aimed at competing in the consumer OS market. The latter is definitely not something Steam Machines tried and/or failed at.
Have you checked if you have a Microsoft CA installed to your system?
Yes, and the cut is very neat. Well, the cuts, actually, as we can see on the pictures that cuts were made on each side in order for the tree to fall in a certain way.

The person who did that knew what they were doing and knew how to handle a large chainsaw to fell large trees.
On the contrary on-prem is vastly cheaper except for the smallest of loads.

> large number of middle class Indian and Chinese Costco shoppers who will buy gold regularly culturally

Gold hoarding wasn't much of a Chinese thing, and Indian gold purchases were a mix of regional biases (South Indian families seemed to purchase way more gold than equally well off North Indian families) and tend to skew more towards jewelery (why buy a store of wealth when you can buy a store of wealth and show off to the other aunties as well).

This is just being used to take advantage of deflated consumer expectations, as the article itself said

NAL - I'm failing to see how telling your employees not to do things that violate or give the impression of anti-trust law is a smoking gun.

That seems like a no-brainer thing a company should be doing.
Many people have kept slaves, even beating them to death - and still answered yes to your question. Many criminals in prison will tell you their victim deserved whatever.

I don't know how to define morality, but yours is not helpful.
Sorry if I was unclear: I just meant that we could employ tensor-based learning methodology, like ChatGPT uses, to parse the graph representations and understand not only their visual layout (ex: no lines crossing), but also their contexts (ex: group functions that all emit events near each other on the graph). Having a machine be able to know what you're trying to do and then clean it up to based on that would be great. Even better, if it could learn how you tend to organize things and pick up "configurations" from that. Adding in "reroute nodes" and stuff when things start looking too loose for your personal liking, or whatever.
Probably in the case of Stallman, he grew up in an era before better understanding of the condition and how to deal with it properly. I'd also assume from his general attitude that he wouldn't take too well to being told how to behave.
> the US has less than 10%

if you read the plea from the Argentine above.. they say "peer networks to measure value" .. it implies that the entire inflation is NOT one single number. It is in sector by sector, with local "shadows" .. In the USA, it is housing obviously in large populated areas, but also health care and the cost of a University education. Those measures have climbed triple digits while yes, petrol and candy-bars are the same.
I have a Pi 4 running Pi-hole and connected to a 4TB USB hard drive running a Samba server with a bunch of media. It’s on my Tailscale network so I can access the files away from home, and use it as an exit node if I’m abroad and need to access stuff as if I’m in the UK.

I don’t need to transcode anything so it’s been more than sufficient for me, and if I start to run out of storage I can just hook up more drives.

It also has about a terabyte of PS2 games because a softmodded PS2 can play games off a Samba server rather than the DVD drive. Niche, but very cool imo
It's 2023, we have systems processing trillions of transactions per minute, and still a few thousand emails can "melt" an email server? That's testament to how little consideration the mail stack gets.

Three sitting around. They make very convenient small servers. One (a RPi4) has substantial mass storage and is a backup and media server. Another (an RPi3) is an RSS reader service and web proxy for some internal stuff. And the third (RPi3) servers for occasional experiments and what-ifs.
Yup. And we normally have client L2 Isolation.

Linux is more popular than OSX _on steam_ according to those statistics.

I think you're wrong here. Take a look at the wayback machine [0] for a history of this data. There was absolutely 0 growth in linux use over the past decade until last year. The thing that changed wasn't enshittifaction, it was a piece of hardware that provided a good user experience. It's nothing to do with windows/mac getting worse or less privacy focused, it's valve providing a smooth usable product that _happens_ to run linux. I'm curious if Proton's success causes a decrease in windows users and an increase in other distros, but right now that's not what we're seeing.

> „Normal“ people will not read this, nor be able to understand, nor gauge or grasp the impact.

Disagree. You don't need 10 years in IT to understand the meaning of: "M$ allowed customers to use their house-keys to open everyone's office safe, lied about it for 2 years, and still doesn't have a plan for fixing it".

McNeally was simply wrong, but despair is easier than fixing things, so a lot of people went with despair. The popularity of cloud and SaaS is the result. But this isn't a foretold destiny; just don't "trust" people you don't actually trust.
I get that you were trying to be edgy, but you landed on goofy. You're addressing someone who owns over a dozen Pis, dating back to the original 256MB Model B. They've been quite dependable for me. It is not something I need to hypothesize about.

The idea that a machine becomes more reliable as the number of parts increases and the cost increases is an interesting one, though.
How can I get a Raspberry Pi 5 before everyone else?
They don‘t need Bing. They‘re working on their own AI, and AI will replace all search engines. ChatGPT is already slowly but steadily killing Google as we speak.
What's the counter? You could have effectively no support either way, only this way you at least have a working (perl) script

The long argument is also pretty flawed without any cost estimates, like, maybe they'd come to your every 5 years for a hour worth of work, but then looking up history and arguing about it takes longer
OSS predates GNU, and GNU's influence is waning. I wouldn't say Stallman's impact was that large. OSS was a thing before Stallman and will remain after Stallman.
Fantastic insights here.

I’d add that another invisible cost(?) is that business users are going to develop their own tools no matter what. Why? Because they need them to do their jobs! So development is happening, whether it’s done by people with the title “developer” or not.
Also worth of mentioning, the USS Yorktown incident which happened in that period.

If it had audio amplifier, it could. I remember when I could hear some radio station from simple computer speakers. The catch - transmitter was on the other side of the street, but if I remember correctly, it was FM station - how could a simple audio amplifier pick this up - I have no idea, but strange things can happen with harmonics. It was barely audible and very low quality though.
Ossia looks very cool. I have also developed a node-based tool in Qt/C++ (https://www.easydatatransform.com/). Might be interesting to talk Qt-related stuff with you some time (Qt versions, deployment, OSs etc).
I didn't "silently" do shit.

I explicitly pointed it out because it's been a part of human history since humans had a history. Declaring something exists is not the same as justifying that they've done it. We have Memorial Day to honor people who died to go overseas and kill people, and Veterans Day to honor the people who didn't die to go overseas and kill people. Would I consider that to be a gap in morality? Sure, but it exists AND it's not specific to the United States either.

> Okay. What can a company do when there is no choice?

The company can recognize that "there is no choice" is not a valid option. There are many choices if the company actually cared to invest into choices. That requires learning and actually vetting your vendors though. That's hard work. Good luck getting people to do hard work.

> I've used decades old dollar bills in SE Asia that have been pretty much detached from the US economy for decades and have held value better than bitcoin ever has.

I'm not sure what makes you feel that way. Gold and Bitcoin are up against the dollar in the past decade, and by a significant margin. Bitcoin is up ~225x against the dollar. Gold is up ~50x against the dollar going back five decades. The US dollar is pretty terrible at holding value.
I worked with a team that was convinced of the superiority of elixir/erlang over ruby/rails in our ecosystem. It can accept thousands of simultaneous connections, etc. But the devil is in the details. If those connections include queries to a database then it's just a slow and clunky as every other front end framework and the learning curve is pretty damn steep. So overall the lack of integration with existing tooling and communities is what drove us away. Sure, you can do magnificent things if you keep every little bit in process but it's really hard to do that. And you need a super big box to make sure that everything is in one process.
Who says anything about Earth's crust? I am talking about space mining. I can see gold crashing in 100 years just like aluminium.

None of which will change those three points practically.

For any bit of information, they may not apply, but if you assume they’re true you’ll:

1) not record information that is truly damaging in a damaging way (which is really good practice in general if you’ve got something to lose!)

2) have practical operational practices which do not rely on these being false - which is a really good idea if that actually matters (you have actual enemies somewhere).

3) you’ll focus on safety and building value in areas which are not mere information at rest, which is a good modern practice.

Osama Bin Laden already knew all this, which is why it took so long to find him. A decade or so. I guarantee you the CIA has been learning this with all their leaks. The FBI learned this this after COINTELPRO.

What is not written down can’t show up as a grainy photocopy in the New York Times, or a viral video from Wikileaks, or whatever.

What you’re talking about is a hammer to use to punish someone after a leak. But by then it’s far too late for anything actually valuable.

Necessary and important for ‘day to day’ stuff like bank account balances I guess, as long as you assume that they’ll be violated with little practical recourse if you have anything actually valuable in it.

Streisand effect, etc.
Thanks! Use cases span from email sorting & responding, to document analysis & translation, to automatic report generation etc! Constantly discovering new use cases though :)
most likely, although by now they also may be employees of valve. but valve is also working with codeweaver.

btw: i consider codeweaver somewhat the unsung hero of the linux desktop.

there is no other company in this world that stakes their success entirely on the success of the linux desktop, or maybe on the demise on the windows desktop, because wine is the only software tool that will never ever be useful running on windows.
I mean sure, Outlook was only released ~26 years ago, I'm sure they'll catch up eventually.
1$/day is kinda insane if you put it that way. It's equivalent to a $30 subscription, sure, some people would gladly pay that much, but for most of the population in first world countries it's untenable, let alone the rest of the world. And you got this value after accounting for resale.

I did a similar calculation for my current phone and it came out to be $12 per month if I keep it for 4 years, which I thought to be too high.
Would you recommend any particular guide for setting up multiseat?
How is this different from “drawing is better than writing a book”?

Some people write, others draw. Each method has its own strength and problem spaces.

Encoding a complex issue sometimes is just shitty with a visual metaphor. Other times writing code is a really bad idea. If you want to express “flow” or “connections”, filter or stream systems like modular synths, that’s when the visual metaphor shines.

You use whatever metaphor works best at the moment. One cannot replace the other.

The “problem” is that people want to push all of “programming” into the visual metaphor. That’s like pushing all of programming into only functional, only declarative, only imperative or only OOP (or whatever), but worse. That’s not going to work, but I guess people can try.
Hi,

Why they change the picture of Imagine Dragon ?

Cordially.
This is an interesting architecture, but on at least two of the three target platforms, specifically Android and web, I think it would be better to use Kotlin Multiplatform [1] than Rust. Because Kotlin compiles to JVM bytecode (and ultimately to Dalvik bytecode) on Android and can compile to JS for the web platform, it means that for both of those platforms, the whole application can be compiled and linked together in a single type of object code, leading to lower overhead and a smaller bundle. There's also no need for serialization and deserialization when going between cross-platform and native code, further reducing bundle size; deserialization in particular requires heavy glue code.

But I don't yet have any experience with Kotlin Multiplatform, especially Kotlin Native for iOS. Does anyone know whether Rust has any particular advantages over Kotlin for any of the three target platforms?

I didn't get the impression these were hourly employees, or that this was restricted to hourly employees.

The circle is complete.
I'm not sure if HttpUrlConnection is still the way to go on Android. Its lack of caching providers has driven most apps to using other HTTP clients (often from Java land, but also some Kotlin native wrappers).

The Android SDK docs provide an entirely different approach to "simple" HTTP requests: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/cron...

It appears Google recommends CroNet, which is Chromium's network stack. I can see why (the Chromium stack is probably the most optimised stack for client-server applications that Google maintains) but even Google seems to have abandoned their Java 7 wrappers for something better.

I wouldn't have picked curl for Android myself (CroNet sure sounds like it makes more sense) but it'll work just as well and saves everyone the time of figuring out obscure errors that will undoubtably show up eventually writing wrappers like these.
So that's a good reason to provide people who have no capacity to create fake images an instant way to do so, while riding on the back of things the owner has no idea how they would actually create if they were asked to do so? Sweet. Let's all steal other people's property, charge for APIs and then take $15 a hit to let scammers use it.

Yes, they'll break a software license and use garbage that uses garbage that uses garbage. Way to draw the line.

I am not personally a fan of Apple products for exactly this reason. I think the user experience on all their products (iphone, ipad, mac) is not good out of the box and is really restricting in what you can do.

But, I still believe Apple is trying to make the best products they can. Their design philosophy is heavily opinionated, and therefore a lot of people don't like it. Google's core mission is to slurp up user data & sell ads, and they are willing to make their products worse for the user to satisfy that goal. I don't think Apple would intentionally make a product worse to boost some short term metrics in that same way.

> why do you think that the ipad (with the same processor as the laptop) has not gotten more capable over the years?

I think Apple has consistently shown that they don't really care about power users. Why can't I snap windows on a mac? Why can't I customize the launcher on an iphone? Apple doesn't care about that use case. They stuck an m1 into the ipad because they already make them and its a super power efficient chip; they still have the same product vision for the ipad.

> Make no mistake, Apple is no paragon of virtue here.

Certainly, no company is virtuous. I think its more about incentives. Apple is incentivized to make good products and maintain their brand. Google is incentivized to sell as many ads as possible.
Because Elixir is a language with a fundamentally different paradigm when it comes to state and concurrency, similar to how MLs like Haskell or Rust are different then just picking up and writing some JavaScript or Python. It's different, so it's not mainstream. I think that's really the thrust of it.
If you have to badge in it’s tracked somewhere. If they generate reports or even access the data is another story. The buildings access control system knows what badge ids opened the door or gate.
I made a fair amount of money with Phoenix and Elixir and I like them.

My take is that what's hindering their further expansion to mainstream are: Elixir is not curly braced and it's not object oriented. Those two alone make a big difference in familiarity. The vast majority of developers are using curly braced OO languages and it takes less effort to learn another one. I was coming mostly from Ruby and Elixir was designed with a syntax and module names similar to Ruby's.

That GenServers are objects with methods and an internal state is another, possibly ironical, matter.
Even as someone who has been a dev for 5 years I only know him as that gross guy who likes free software. Note that 'gross guy' is the main point here. He has failed to communicate any nuance to his message. Another person might have 80% the same opinion as him but be able to reach 200% of the people as him by way of not having such a bad reputation. If the free software 'movement' wants to move anyone they need to get out of their own way.
Given Peter Norvig opinion on Python vs Lisp, and the way Python has been taken up in AI/ML stuff, in a way it is a kind of Lisp's revenge.

I'm failing to see how disappearing chat that is on by default differs from in-person conversations. If I have a video call, I'm not required to record it. If we have a meeting in-person I don't need to either.

They will have the conversation off the record, and if text isn't available it will be a call or meeting instead.
