It was a pun about how this thread is being overly semantic in an unnecessary and uninteresting way...

We could also talk about how the word 'executes' implies some kind of agency which computers lack. It's like saying a rock just executes the laws of physics when it rolls down a hill...
In the US, it's a $2,000 tax credit per kid, so you effectively only get paid if your household income is high enough to owe federal income tax, and low enough that the 5% phase-out doesn't eat up the whole benefit. Also, it comes off of your taxable income, so the net benefit to your pocket is (1.0 - marginal_tax_rate) * benefit.
My Epson will do 6400dpi optically, but it can do some upsampling shenanigans all the way up to 12800dpi. Unnecessary levels of resolution for documents, but it's amazing what it can do for your grandma's old film slides. It's not cheap, but the performance is hard to argue with.
It's not always that clear cut, though; after all, wouldn't this argument apply to e.g. laws requiring seatbelts? One could argue that in this early-ish stage of electronic data, vendors that hold very sensitive data are being irresponsible. Not just about not requiring more secure authentication, but also for pushing less secure authentication like SMS-based authentication factors.
Another possibly useful process: Look at this as a problem-resolution process, and work through the steps sequentially:

1. Is there a problem?

2. What is the problem?

3. What is the root cause (etiology) of the problem?

4. What is the goal? What would you like to see?

5. How do you get from here to there?

6. What entities would assist, or oppose, such a change?

7. How do you best communicate with / recruit allies?

an iphone 8 can run ios 16, last updated Sept 21, 2023, less than a month ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_8

I don't think Apple's patching every major security flaw on current - 1, but right at this moment, they're still able to run n - 1, which would probably put them roughly on par with the average on smartphone security, so I don't think it would be especially any more child's play than compromising an average phone, all things being equal (all things being equal, some people update, some don't; the iphone 8 on the latest iOS 16 is probably better than a later model lagged 3 years on updates)

Although it's all downhill from here.
The missing feature you're describing is monads. They can essentially be a first-class abstraction for computation (among other things). They can represent synchronous computations, computations that can be suspended/resumed, computations that might fail with a particular type of exception, or anything in between.
Took me a while to figure out what you were talking about. So, the article mentions an older product by the same people that used your "periscope" arrangement, but THIS product is a m4/3 sensor hanging off the end of a ribbon.

> I think Kotlin is at risk, though, of having the JVM force them to support two competing models to accomplish the same thing - coroutines and virtual threads is a good example

I don't think it's that good an example, though there's some merit to it. Kotlin coroutines, to me, target three main use cases:

1. An abstraction over an underlying threading model. Get threaded execution without having to explicitly deal with thread pools and such. I'd consider structured concurrency to be part of this use case.

2. A way to write non-blocking code that is structured as if it were blocking. (Incidentally: I love Kotlin's decision to make "await" opt-out instead of opt-in.)

3. A way to write code that generates sequences of values without having to either write an explicit class that maintains state across calls or use callbacks/CPS. Or in other words, a way to use the "yield" function.

Use case 1 still makes sense with virtual threads. Run your coroutines on an executor that uses a virtual thread pool instead of a platform thread pool. If you prefer the coroutines API, you can still use it for structured concurrency and such.

Use case 2 is much less interesting in the presence of virtual threads; you can just write blocking code directly, no need for the language to turn it into async code for you.

Use case 3 has nothing to do with threads to begin with, so it remains exactly as valuable as before and there's no reason to change any existing code at all.

Do coroutines get less useful in the presence of virtual threads? Absolutely. But they aren't competing with virtual threads; there are substantial non-overlapping use cases that make them a worthwhile language feature.

There can't be a subscription based Windows.

People refuse to pay (intentionally or financially) and they won't receive security updates on older OS and see how the world unfolds.

It's already a mess that people are using so many different Windows versions and MS took the effort to beg users to upgrade. They will be unwinding that effort altogether not to mention bug the developers to support so many different OS versions.

Apple has always been right that they release OS upgrades freely and see how much saner it is.
Not too long ago, my daughter at college lost her favorite headphones. For reasons not worth going into, we needed a replacement fast so I went to Amazon. I figured that Prime shipping would be able to get the kind she likes to her before I could get there myself (I was some hundreds of miles away but planning to swing by on my way home). Isn't that what I paid the subscription fee for? Well ... no go. IIRC the best they could do was four, maybe five, days. And not because they were out of stock. Then I went to B&H, who could get them there next day for a better price. No prizes for guessing who got my business that day.

Amazon was a pretty decent bookstore once, then a pretty decent "everything" store, then they just enshittified the hell out of everything. While it's good that anti-trust actions are finally being taken, it would have been even better if the practice of predatory pricing sustained by VC money (not just at Amazon) had been nipped in the bud long ago.
I agree it is important, but open source has not sufficiently challenged the institutions in the area of information dissemination and social connection so far.

In other words, google, still owns search, instead of like presearch, and rest of big tech own social media. The alts represent still an insignificant portion of users.

I hope open source AI can have greater success, but the users are motivated by convenience and not freedom or privacy.

>It’s so clear this isn’t sustainable.
Maybe. Having that much debt is problematic in a household budget. However, governments are a different animal - just look at Japan's debt to gdp ratio (https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/CG_DEBT_GDP@GDD/CHN/...). Posters who claim the US Gov's debt is strangling the nation are obligated to explain why Japan hasn't imploded. The likely real answer: nobody knows what levels of debt are sustainable for a government.
After hunting around for some footage of it in action, it looks like you're going to end up with lots of improperly exposed images and a clunky UI. It is going to be far more practical to simply buy a Sony A7 type mirrorless body and some lens adapters to shoot with histogram view, for 35mm at least. Digital medium format back is another story entirely perhaps more suited to this scenario.
I love bash for anything that doesn't need to scale. The reason is reliability. I can't tell you how many times I've run into problems with python or similar on small library implementations. If I need to make an http request in my code and I'm using curl in bash and something fails, I can pretty much guarantee the problem is not curl itself. It's battle tested and deterministic. However the python script that forgets to wrap a try catch or configure proper tls auth or some other quirk? I have had those eat hours/days of my time and having to resort to tcpdump to sort out what's really happening. Same with SQL libraries/ORM vs SQL cli, same with Json/xml parsing libraries vs jq etc.

Compensation is top of mind for me. An applicant [EDIT: application, not applicant] tracking system is well-positioned to have a solid, up-to-date view into the compensation landscape, unlike sites like Glassdoor and Blind which are more lagging and self-selecting. Balanced with privacy, there is some real opportunity here. Outside of compensation - all sorts of analytics pertaining to interview process, how quickly competitors fill their roles, that sort of data.

Any invasion force on land would have to attack either from Mexico or from Canada. I don't see it as remotely probable.

An invasion force with a slightest chance of success would have massive seaborne and airborne components, along with armor, and would start with a massive aerial and missile attack at the area of prospective invasion. This is not something a well-regulated militia with small arms would be effective against. If the current war in Europe is any indication, small arms are not even effective against armed consumer-grade drones.

What a militia might be efficient against could be e.g. short-term incursions by drug cartels, or similar.
The m68060 is in countless Amiga accelerators, including ones made in the last few years such as Terrible Fire accelerators. Personally, I have a phase5 Cyberstorm MK III and Blizzard 1260. There were Atari '060 accelerators, a Sinclair QL motherboard that has the option of taking an '060, they were a native option in Amiga 4000 Towers, in DraCo computers / video processors, and in VME boards.

I'd love to get one of these to help do more m68k NetBSD pkgsrc package building:

If you are a contractor/freelancer, reputation counts for a lot. Most sales are to (happy) existing or former customers (in this or any business). Charging royalties is fine if you said so up front/beforehand, but not afterwards. Even if you failed to make it stick, legally, you would lose a lot in reputation.
This letter isn't a demand, legal or otherwise. It's a collection of requests that along with arguments based on a shared interest in the health of the ecosystem.

You do realize that people do things or avoid doing things for reasons other than complying with the law right? This is one of those times.

The only place where GPL comes into it is that it makes sure that goodwill requests is such as this one are as far as it will go and distributions can't be legally forced to comply. That lack of legal force makes it more important to have a strong community to keep the ecosystem healthy.

So instead of ranting about "gah, they just don't understand GPL", it makes more sense to discuss the underlying problem, both on the technical side of how theming is implemented and on the cultural side of how default theming is explained and enabled.

> Have you considered that privacy is doomed to end, eventually?

Yes. All matters of a free society seemingly will be lost. It is not directly AI. I've seen this coming long before as the progression of technological power simply points to that outcome. I don't see a way out of the dystopian trap. AI is just an accelerator that arrived a bit sooner than expected.

We can do anecdotes for days. I have worked at 3 remote companies, 2 transitioned from in person. It was clear to me that productivity at the 2 that transitioned became much worse due to remote. Productivity was never great at the other. I don't think it has much at all to do with hours worked but collaboration absolutely takes a nose dive when remote for the average employee.

I love working remote for the same reasons you do. Doesn't mean I think it's good for the company though.

Workflows engines are not just about deferring a http call or a specific language.

One option is to ban a business from asking soliciting tips, or regulation on payment processors who do business in Chicago to remove the tip line. It's possible but it would see a lawsuit for restriction of speech.

The hardware can be fast, actually. Here’s an example of relatively modern industrial x86: https://www.onlogic.com/ml100g-41/ That thing is probably faster than half of currently sold laptops.

However, containers or Ubuntu Linux don’t perform great in that environment. Ubuntu is for desktops, containers are for cloud data centers. An offline stand-alone device is different. BTW, end users don’t typically aware that thing is a computer at all.

Personally, I usually pick Alpine or Debian Linux for similar use cases, bare metal i.e. without any containers.
I'm rather convinced that people reaching for fail2band actually want rate-limiting.
The precision to align the sensor doesn’t appear to be present.
