There are two main reasons:

First, and probably the largest motivator, is that if you fire someone without cause they will typically be able to collect on unemployment insurance which would increase the employers premiums each month.

Second, nobody likes to fire people especially if they haven't done anything wrong. Also, layoffs like this hurt the moralle of the remaining workers which could turn into too much turnover.

Having someone quit is usually preferable to increasing costs and hurting moralle, but that will not stop businesses from doing what they feel the need to do.
If you're going to have sales taxes (or consumption taxes in general) at all, it makes no sense for them not to apply to online purchases. That situation was only in place for a brief time because of a weird interpretation of Constitutional law which would never have been made had internet commerce existed at the scale it does now. This isn't "the terrifying creeping overreach of government", this is "sales taxes working how they're obviously supposed to."

You can not scientifically state there is no connection between vaccines and autism. That is just a reminder of the limits of empirical science and the impossibility of proving a negative. It is important to be nuanced here and respect the difference: that no widely accepted evidence has been found, is something I also agree with.

> even if there were, ... be morally reprehensible and massively harmful to stir up fear about it.

Exactly. This is why "no evidence has been found" is a weak substitute. An unbiased look at gathering evidence could mean the end of your carreer and reputation. It is not science, but closer to politics, sociology, and PR for public health. Also why Wakefield was attacked so hard: the science itself was not so bad or harmful, but the interpretation and fears of the general public were.

If there are answers that can not be questioned, then science and scientific integrity is in danger. Attacking research for "amplifying bullshit" or "stoking fears", not by merit, that is immoral. Not giving a voice to desperate parents who come to you to share their story that no medical authority will accept, that is immoral.

As for parroting: try to find unbiased interpretations or objective word-for-word claims by RFK on vaccine harms. Incredibly hard. Consider the morality of supressing or strawmanning anecdotes or research.

I still don't get the MITM argument. To me, it feels like there is a lot of heavy lifting beneath the could in "a EU government could MITM any other EU country citizen". Can somebody walk me through an example of how could the Romanian government MITM a portuguese citizen in Portugal accessing a website hosted in Sweden? Maybe there's something I'm missing? To me it feels like it would require a lot of third party cooperation (ie ISPs).

As to the tracking potential of eIDs, I agree it could be lessened by improving the legislation as the letter proposes, but to me if feels like it adds a small risk of abuse for a lot of benefits (digital access to the administration, and better security through relying on modern practices instead of handwritten signatures). Again, what is the threat model for being tracked with this ID? Will a random t-shirt shop ask me for my ID? Will this give them better insight into my online habits than asking for my CC number?

I see a lot of security professionals warning against this law, and I tend to defer to people who know more than me, but time and again, and as with other EU legislation, the arguments seem to feel unconvincing and mired with "potentials for abuse" and slippery slopes.
The zoom trick is how you used to have to do it, but then they added reduce white point. When you enable reduce white point, a slider is shown that lets you adjust it, all the way down to almost completely off. I can’t imagine needing to layer zoom on top of it once you reach that level.

That's a pretty general statement, and I'd say to that not really. It's very much a hobbyist OS. A few people use it at home as firewalls, a few small businesses maybe, but it's mostly hobbyists and developers.

> To say that it's a hobby project strikes me as very ignorant.

I mean, I've been familiar with the project for over 20 years, so I don't think I'm ignorant at all. The developers primarily make the OS for themselves and people with the same ideas and priorities.

> That said, it is not very easy to convince the developers that a function is missing because it's a pretty opinionated project, and they might not share the user's definition of needed functionality.

Right, the devs prioritize their own needs, and can do so because it's a hobbyist OS.

For a sci-fi short story I was thinking how a briefcase size solution to climate change could look like. In the story humanity would buy the "solution" to climate change from an alien high-tech travelling salesman.

What I ended up is that it could be a small vial of some bio-engineered marine microorganism designed to bloom on every ocean surface, capture sunlight and use and use the energy to capture CO2 in some chemically stable molecule and then sink to the depths. And most of the briefcase would be actually filled with a manual describing how humanity can modulate the intensity of capture to the right level with bio-engineered viruses which predate on the artificial microorganism.

I know but there isn't enough time in 10 years for this type of changes. SF is still fundamentally the same as it was 10 years ago. Only a cataclysmic collapse similar to Detroit would change SF in a way that people with money had left and only the ones the had to stay had enough hardship but also education to make something at the scale of what happened in Berlin, which in that case was an almost complete annihilation and 40 years of brutal communism clashed with an economic boom and freedom a few meters away.

I can narrow it down to three critical problems with our society.

1. Car dependent cities.

2. Housing crisis

3. Wage suppression

Young people can't go anywhere because they can't afford a car because all their money goes to rent. Even if they WANTED to go somewhere, there isn't anywhere to go because car dependent infrastructure has killed all the places that young people used to hang out.

They don't make enough money to survive, much less thrive. I know a lot of GenZ people living in rotting camper trailers, sheds, tents, and cars. Many of my millennial friends are going through the same thing. They have no savings, no house, and they could never afford to start a family. A child is a ruinous event instead of joyous. There is no safety net and the tight rope is made of silly string.

But what they can afford are cell phones and Instagram/TikTok where they talk to each other.
Does anyone know what restrictions have actually been proposed? Media reporting on it is uselessly vague.
It does.

Writing your software to directly use the syscalls of a specific kernel does not make it "zero dependency", it makes it "one dependency" - and non-portable.

The author elaborates on their rationale and the technical details in a blog post: <https://www.matheusmoreira.com/articles/linux-system-calls>

TBH I have mixed feelings about this approach. It's true that this is more or less what Go or (Cosmopolitan libc) do, but the motivation in their case is to maximize portability (by making cross-compilation trivial). However when you #include <linux/...>, you not only make your software non-portable, you also make it a PITA to cross-compile as you need the kernel headers on the host machine.

In contrast, with Go or cosmo, I can trivially build a tiny /sbin/init for amd64 Linux, pack it up with cpio, and run it with qemu-system-x86_64 -initrd - all from a Mac/arm64 host.

It's also remarkable that none of these pieces (and this is no exception) ever seem to talk about proper air extraction. You would have thought that would be the first thing anyone researching this topic seriously and objectively would look at. The relative damage done by pollutants emitted by cooking oil and food on a stove (regardless of type) is also rather larger and better documented (though still not huge in the grand scale of things), which gives another reason to talk about extraction.
Last year, there were a number of high-profile lay-offs in the tech industry. Companies used those not only to get to "lean" staffing levels but also to get rid of underperformers en masse.

If you happen to have survived those, but aspire to just coast for a while, this is a great time for you.

Budgets remain fairly constrained, which means that if a manager needs to let someone go because of lackluster performance, they're probably not guaranteed a back-fill. Thus, unless the employee's performance is so poor that it would be better to fire them and let their seat go unfilled, coasters are in a pretty safe position ... at least until the next round of layoffs.

OpenELA Releases Enterprise Linux Source Code

It's pretty close, but not exactly.

1. You can still use any code written before today under Apache 2 and build a proprietary version out of that.

2. If you'd like to build a proprietary tool that makes use of the new features Element builds after today, you can do that as well if you negotiate with Element.

But you won't be able to use any of the new work Element does on Synapse after today without either open sourcing your project or paying Element.
That thing about 'you had to do more thinking up front, so you wrote better code' is total nonsense.

It's not total nonsense. However, people take it too far. The point is, does the candidate use their brain when using the tool, to use it to its full advantage?

There's a big difference between programmers who:

- Just mindlessly step through the debugger
- Do some groundwork so they know where to step
- Has devious tricks, like writing a "tripwire" to activate a special
debugging version, and has the program find the bug.

So I find people who have this bias against debuggers just silly. It's not the tool that's the deciding factor. It's the programmer!

The same goes for writing new code and refactoring existing code. Does the programmer exercise their brain to utilize the tool to its fullest extent? The same even goes for prompt engineering and otherwise leveraging AI.

One shouldn't just stop at the surface level of analysis. Look for underlying principles. Try to get to first principles!
Or, you know, have sex sober with trustworthy people and don't rape anyone. It's not a high bar.
I looked into this a few years back when I was making my own toy Linux distro, and this is the list of packages provided by a typical GNU system that meet POSIX requirements for a userspace:

* `bash`

* `bc`

* `binutils`

* `bison`

* `Coreutils`

* `Diffutils`

* `file`

* `Findutils`

* `flex`

* `gawk`

* `glibc`

* `grep`

* `tar`

* `gzip`

* `M4`

* `make`

* `man-db`

* `man-pages`

* `procps-ng`

* `psmisc`

* `sed`

That's a reasonable start, but you also need, minimally, something to replace `pciutils`, `IPRoute2`, a bootloader, and an init system. For a close to expected experience, add in `TexInfo`, `XZ`, `ZStd`, and `bzip2`, plus `shadow` if you don't want passwords stored in plaintext.

POSIX doesn't dictate an editor, but you probably want something that can run in a terminal. Usually `cURL` and either `openssl` or `GnuTLS`, plus `bind-utils`, `ldns`, or something equivalent are there for actually using the network, something to replicate `gpg` functionality if you're going to install signed packages, and of course the package manager itself. Cargo is fine for Rust app developers, but can't replace an installer of system packages. You likely need an `ssh` implementation to replace `OpenSSH`.

I'm sure there's more I'm missing, but this is pretty close to what you'd get in a minimal server image.

If you're looking to fully get rid of C and not need a C compiler, though, Linux itself is a hurdle. You don't necessarily need a kernel quite as fully-featured, but you need something that at least implements the POSIX system calls. Just about every Linux distro I'm aware of seems to also provide Python and Perl these days as a whole lot of system utilities and build scripts use them. Presumably, rewriting all of Perl and Python in Rust is not feasible, so you either need some other interpreted scripting language good for system scripting that is written in Rust, or somehow make your shell a superset of POSIX but also much closer to a real programming language.

Don't underestimate the lift of replacing `libc`, either. It's not just the C standard library and interface to system calls. It also provides the linking loader that makes it possible to even run other programs, all of the locales and time zones, the system's name server, profiler, memory dumper. A whole lot of stuff.
Plausible deniability. Laying off people sends a signal to the market that failing to hire does not.
Good example, dumping in this manner should be illegal if all the allegations are true.
In what cases would an application need to regularly parse gigabytes of JSON? Wouldn't it be advantageous for the app to get that data into a DB?
Well, the headaches are pretty minor:

Bosses who want to cut headcount without layoffs can do so by just not replacing people who quit - if nobody's quitting, that's not possible.

Things like training schemes might have been sized on the assumption you'll have >100 open positions in a year's time, when these 100 trainees finish the scheme. Firing them instead is not good for anyone involved.

Bored star employees can't move teams if other teams don't have open spaces.

And some people think constant employee movement stops teams becoming 'stagnant' as job hoppers sometimes bring in experience, ideas and methods from outside.
I know, but they are usually months or years behind. If a customer tells me that they are working with Language x.y.z I need to install that version, no matter what my distro gives me. And if a project is N versions ahead of the version in my distro, I usually install from either their own PPA or docker image.
