Even that isn't how copyright works....

If I never look at your work and make a work that looks like your work I've still violated copyright.

If I look at all your works and make something that looks kinda but not close enough, most likely I've not violated your work. You cannot both put your work in public and then yell at people|things not to look at it.
I hate hearing this but I know it's true because I've tried to build my career as a software engineer around minimalism, simplicity, maintainability and efficiency at scale but it has constantly felt like a struggle; that there is no market for that. You're totally right in pointing out that a lot of valuable software is comically inefficient. Sometimes it almost seems like only bad, ridiculously inefficient software is allowed to succeed financially in this system. Freaky. I've literally seen projects with horrible code be worth billions and witnessed their market cap drop over time as the code quality improved. I don't know WTF is going on in this industry but it's weird.
Having seen how well typing works with python and FastAPI - I'm afraid the current path ruby is on isn't great, unfortunately. It feels extremely bolted on - but I hope something useful and enjoyable will come out of the various typing efforts.
...Let's just take the iTunes examples again: the previous version already existed and was good enough to do its job. Why spend the effort on a new, worse version? The Apple would still be raking in the cash, even more of it since they wouldn't have spend some of it on this pointless endeavour.

By your dint of logic, we could have just stopped programming tomorrow altogether and most of the things would be just fine, and we could spend all this huge amount of human effort on something else (something presumably more important). That'd be quite pragmatic, wouldn't it? So why do we not?
I'd say there's pro and cons to each side. Rails is definitely easier to recruit for which is not negligible and while I really like Ecto changesets concept, ActiveRecord has a better mapping to complex queries.

On the plus side for LiveView though, to me it's the most productive web app technology in the world and there's just no match to it. It makes the hard things easy.
Ideally, we'd have legal and well-regulated euthanasia, and those who are genuinely suffering with no real hope should have a better way out than 'blowing their brains out'.

But Canada's experiment with this is showing the potential dangers of that, of offering euthanasia as a 'solution' to poverty in old age.
In other words, Scrum as practiced.

Maybe like cafes that have an artist (sometimes doubling as a barista) do their interior signage by hand, sometimes in chalk on blackboard, or in neon marker... one could rig up something like an X-Y flatbed pen plotter, with additional axes for chalk/pen angle.

That's great for a one-off enthusiast project, and make a blog post and video about it.

Or, if it's instead tech industry SOP: Tie it into a subscription cloud service for updating the signs (initially free), with a tablet UI for the independent cafe manager, and enterprise management dashboard for chains of cafes with mass-produced homey feel, and also run display ads for whatever revenue, and spy on all the business's data that goes through it, to sell the surveillance data to whomever will pay.

Back to the original inspiration: maybe the artist enjoys drawing the signs, and can do it in a more appealing, humanized, genuine way, so automating it would be counterproductive, at least for independent cafes.
Nitpick but a PSU is not sending a lot of voltage through its wires, quite the opposite: it is sending low voltage but high current.

Also to your point, a sticker than can fall at any moment shouldn't be relied upon for safety.

Hardware never does software well because software is more expensive on a per person basis.

That disrupts the organization because the hardware people are arguably smarter and more talented than software people. They have actual engineering degrees.

A good software org has to value its people. A good hardware org is a manufacturing operation tries to minimize personnel costs.
You are correct. But in historical practice, we see that laws get misused. Powers, however legitimate, get abused. Restrictions gets stretched, and then stretched to the breaking point, and then obliterated.

So, while they deliberately ignored an honest explanation, they also had a legitimate point.
I love my Steam Deck but about every other time I use it I’m reminded it’s Desktop Linux.

For example my Bluetooth headphones will gradually lose connection over a play session and start cracking before finally going silent. Sometimes a game won’t start until I reboot the system. The on screen keyboard sometimes doesn’t show up when it’s needed, or shows up when it’s not needed. Games crash more frequently compared to other systems.

Even sleep - feature everyone is raving about - doesn’t work perfectly like it does on Nintendo Switch or PlayStation. Sometimes games come back from sleep without sound, or at 15 fps until I quit and relaunch.

It definitely feels more shaky and less polished than a Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, or iPhone. I still love it, but don’t expect that level of quality from it.
It feels unproductive to stage a discussion about anything around such unrealistic numbers. Very few people make 300k+, the average US salary is just under 60k.
Ah, maybe it's my non-native English-ness that shines through, but I've always understood "universal" as something implies like it is everyone, not "just in some places".

So I could accurately say "English language is universal" even though there are countries where people generally don't speak English at all?
It was very clear that they meant nothing at all.

> Apple pays nothing, because they do not license ARM cores in any way, instead having a full royalty-free license for ARM ISA (and afaik covering updates too) since before ARM got big.
Yes, that is generally what you need to trade for other people’s time. An option that lets you trade less money, but more time, is watching YouTube videos on how to sew and making your own clothes.
You keep bringing up dismantling the police force, but the person you're repsonding to never said that. Argue against their points, not the positions you have imagined for them in your head.

> Your argument says that we can improve the police, not that the police is net negative.

>Net negative means that society would improve if we just removed it without replacing it with anything. Can you defend that?

Also, net negative means that their negative actions outweigh their positive actions. I don't know how you got the idea that negative == not repairable. You're putting arguments that they didn't say into their mouth. You're only arguing in false dilemmas.
Somewhat off topic, but whenever the "Good times create weak men" idiocy comes up I always think of this F. Scott Fitzgerald quote about WWI:

> "That’s different. This western-front business couldn’t be done again, not for a long time. The young men think they could do it but they couldn’t. They could fight the first Marne again but not this. This took religion and years of plenty and tremendous sureties and the exact relation that existed between the classes. The Russians and Italians weren’t any good on this front. You had to have a whole-souled sentimental equipment going back further than you could remember. You had to remember Christmas, and postcards of the Crown Prince and his fiancée, and little cafés in Valence and beer gardens in Unter den Linden and weddings at the mairie, and going to the Derby, and your grandfather’s whiskers."

> “General Grant invented this kind of battle at Petersburg in sixty- five.”

> “No, he didn’t — he just invented mass butchery. This kind of battle was invented by Lewis Carroll and Jules Verne and whoever wrote Undine, and country deacons bowling and marraines in Marseilles and girls seduced in the back lanes of Wurtemburg and Westphalia. Why, this was a love battle — there was a century of middle-class love spent here. This was the last love battle.”

Lightning was both way better than the 30 pin connector, and better the micro or mini USB.

It’s pretty obvious (to me) that Apple was going to go USB C on the iPhone, but that they didn’t like the precedent of being told to do so ( they had already done it on the iPad).
it's already happening. Nvidia and Western digital are already shipping riscv in production. high performance riscv is likely closer to a decade away, but it's already doing a pretty good job of replacing the embedded zoo

> FAANG engineers are usually pigeonholed into extreme niches and work with rigid longstanding systems. Startups need jacks of all trades.

My experience in one of the FANGs is the exact opposite: they value jack-of-all-trades that can onboard onto a new project at the drop of a hat and hit the ground running, regardless of prior experience. Their goal is to have organizations where engineers are perfectly interchangeable and replaceable if need be, which is key to fire whole teams without having any relevant impact on productivity.

It's recruiters who post impossible requirements regarding professional experience on specific combinations of tech stacks, which culminate in the old meme about job adverts requiring double-digit work experience in brand new tech stacks.

Sometimes the right answer is that there isn't enough information to choose, therefore making it 'objectively' correct.
I literally said I'm not in support of my own dumb idea

You, however, need a mirror. Everything you just said is a wonderful display of willful ignorance. Your head in the sand does not protect you from the world

Big Tech, in 2023, is effectively a governmental body. I mean all 7 (or whatever) of the largest companies. They operate in a wildly anti-competitive and anti-free-market way, rivaling even the Railroad tycoons of a bygone era.

I'm not anti-corporation, but there needs to be some effort put into correcting this. It's not going to fix itself.

Our country would be a lot better off with a lot of small businesses rather than a few gigantic businesses.
In the case of HP, it's because they sell printers where you get a discount on the price of the hardware if you promise to sign up for an ink subscription, and that requires the printer to phone home with the ink levels.
There are certainly situations where, as a reviewer, 5 minutes of goto-definition on a PR branch, or a well-placed debug breakpoint while running a test, is all you need to write a more prescriptive comment than “I don’t understand how this data flows” - and thus avoid both a follow up meeting and the need to pair program in the first place.

Pairing absolutely has its place, but it’s not always the most optimal use of time.
No, the idea was to say "prefix 0"=>31bit, "prefix 10"=>30bit, "prefix 11"=>2*15bit.
If you need you can split the two bits to have the two 15 bit chunks aligned identically.
Never ending competitive upgrade treadmill, aka innovation.

Even if you dont want to release an upgrade, the layer below that you rely on still will, and then you'll have to keep up.
Also, the FAANG obsession with efficiency, layoffs, etc. will potentially make it much worse in the next decade. It's been evident with Google products for quite some time.
Yep, same problem there, I have to explain why the screen is empty.

I just wish they would stop moving around the UI deck chairs. Seriously. In Ventura (or the previous release, who knows, I don't keep track, why should I, it's a waste, I honestly care zero), they completely reorganized how System Settings is laid out. Like why in tarnation is that even necessary? There absolutely NO WAY that some UI study or UX principles led to the redesign of this thing. It was just done on a whim (well, a corporate whim, some PM and their little team got a big boost to their egos to make some kind of impact).

Stop taking away my skills. I have to relearn everything all the time, for no damn reason.

"antidote to the darker side of our species." .. LOVE THIS!
The real issue is authentic versus simulated rough childhoods. Freemasons fucking up their kids to see how they behave and try to correct/program their behaviour based on the responses is more fucked than authentically fucked experience and the simulated experience doesn’t build true character. It’s only as good as the simulation and its parameters and behavioural engineering has a long way to go. Non-consensual behavioural engineering is worse than rape.

> Jonathan Hochman, an expert witness for the plaintiffs, provided a technical analysis of Google data collection, but his report remains under seal. As is common in such cases, Google has pushed for sensitive documents obtained during the discovery process to be redacted or sealed. This has become an issue in the US government's ongoing antitrust trial against Google, where much of the testimony and many of the documents have been withheld from the public.

You know, I'd figure it'd be in the public interest for people whose privacy has been violated to have access to the relevant documents... I wonder if anything there could be requested under FOIA?
And you can just wash hands because you used "industry's best practice" and continue the security theatre.
Gaza isn't occupied, it's besieged. Has been for about 15 years; before that it was occupied (and settled). Before that it was under Egyptian administration, and before that it was under UN administration.

Nobody has ever annexed Gaza.
Depends on the distance, right?

Over short distances (up to about 800m) a cheetah's sprint speed of nearly 100kph dominates, true. However, because they only maintain that for up to 30s, an augmented human moving at 75kph would be less than 10s behind at that point and might be able to catch up over slightly longer distances. I'm unsure the exact distance as I don't know offhand what running speeds a cheetah can maintain for longer than 30s and I'd also assume that cheetahs have better dodging agility than a human with giant springs strapped to their legs (and as per above hopefully some safety gear).

But I stand by my assertion that I want to imagine such a scenario.
Usually the line is pretended to be a digest of Ibn Khldun thought, unfortunately this is quite inaccurate, as Ibn Khaldun's theories are wider and more sophisticated than that.

Now that I think of it Ibn Khaldun is precisely this example of an accomplished thinker that went through the hardest times possible in the Old World : he went through the Black Death in the 1340, his whole family died while travelling to reunite with him after many years of forced separation, he was imprisoned, deported, exiled many times...
This is slightly confusing - it seems to factor in some magical S&S ISA income regardless of what amounts I put into existing S&S ISA.

I am assuming it thinks that I will always entirely fill a S&S ISA allowance each yaer in addition to pension contributions, mortgage, bills, food etc.

I think that is a bit of a flaw and I guess that means none of the figures can be trusted.
> Its wasteful and sloppy ultimately

And it makes a ton of money!

I agree with all the complaints about the state of a lot of software today but users don’t care enough to start boycotting companies that make apps in Electron. Until they do shareholders won’t give a toss.
"Agile," as advanced by management and coaches peddling Scrum and various "methodologies," is exactly like this in practice. It's micromanagement in disguise.

You can argue that's, "not true Agile," but then... what is? The process being forced upon developers the world over or the ideal version you have in mind?

I agree, as described, it generally leads folks to burnout. And anecdotally it seems most organizations are fine with that.
from that same thread:

“Lost all my respect for @SureSwiftCap. They sent a trademark infringement to Shopify saying that "back-in-stock" apps are infringing their wordmark "Back In Stock".

I guess all the "back-in-stock" apps on Shopify got the same notice.”

Such limited time on the planet and having to deal with people like this.
Those who really want to die - will find a way. But there should be obstacles to discourage those who have temporary problems.

The rebounding of casual toxic masculinity/macho-ism in Tech, as demonstrated in the title, makes me sad. As a stereotypical nerdy kid who got into computers in the 80s, I saw Tech as a refuge where who you were didn't matter nearly so much as what you could do.

To a large extent, I think the money to be made in Tech after 2009 has attracted kids to CS who in another time would have majored in business. The only saving grace is that the popularity of CS as a major seems to be drawing in talented women and minorities who haven't been exposed to programming.
UBI and universal healthcare would enable _so_ many people to take risks that they can't today. We would see an explosion in the arts, in fundamental science, in passion projects like this. It would be absolutely incredible.

Except according to half of the people in charge it would mean The Wrong People would get money and all they would do is buy drugs. And that's why we can't have nice things.
And most of the newer things are more or less the same thing as the old, except different. Sometimes that's good, sometimes it's not, and often it either depends or doesn't actually matter all that much. The trade-offs are often different, but it's of course fanatically denied by the zealots who claim that the trade-off doesn't even exists in the first place.
Apple and AI
Stupid question, but is sleep just normal PC suspend-to-RAM? Doesn't that work on normal PCs? I think I've had some games have trouble with it and graphics cards, did Valve fix that?
I think it's the other way around. Strong man create hard times because of all the fighting between themselves about principles and honor and what not. Only after they eliminate eachother, weak man that remained can build good times on the cinders. But the good times inevitably spawn new breed of strong men. Which again ruin everything. Decades after World War two were so prosperous because so, so many brave, strong principled men killed each other in World Wars. So the weak men that were left were finally free to build the prosperity in relative peace. That adventage we had is gradually lost as new generations replenished the stock of strong man, so the world seems to be ripe for another war and devastation cycle.
So a bunch of journalists from pro-Israel publications claim to have seen videos of what the Israel Defense Force claim were atrocities committed by Hamas that day, yet no videos of these atrocities are available publicly. Surprising given how many people have phones capable of recording video, and how many videos there are of gruesome scenes from the bombings on the Palestinian side.

Well those are dress pants and not jeans, but more importantly the existence of an example online doesn't contribute anything. Nobody is claiming that pockets don't exist lol, just that they're often not available in regular stores with any regularity.

> I’ve only ever see Prozac as a part of a turn for the worse.

I think he's clearly very angry and upset about the violence inflicted upon Gaza population and it's difficult to keep heads clear and calm.

But let's not jump from "armed resistance" to "another holocaust".
If you feel that way about this, I would highly recommend "Carrying the Fire" for you as a tremendous read. Out of all the Apollo-era books I've read, I'd say this one does the best job of mixing in really interesting technical details to really get you to peek at just how much complexity there really was (and may I even suggest giving NASSP a go so you can even try it yourself) while also doing a fantastic job at connecting it to the human and meaning side of the whole endeavor. Just a fantastic read, and sounds like you'd be the perfect target audience for it!
