The difference in examples here is scope; you'd probably raise an eyebrow if the band saw thing was followed by 'millennials are bad at building things'. They might be more likely to use a 3d printer than a lathe but that wouldnt lead to being bad at the category.

And thats what I think I'm seeing here, inexperience with what we consider to be technology basics being extrapolated to 'bad at technology'.

I think the argument you hint at could be interesting and have merit but to tie it back to this comment chain; I don't see any evidence of it here.
Lol. What. I am not that familiar with workers rights in Sweden, but it would surprise me if this would be able to go anywhere meaningful.

Sounds more like somebody is butthurt that the typical "downgrade your workers rights or I'll move my business elsewhere"-strat didn't work out.

It's not a dichotomy though; performance is imo essential for a tool that will run on every save, every commit, every pull request. It might be fast enough, but adding all runs up adds up to a lot of unnecessary energy waste.

With regards to the whitespace issue, that's down to the line length rules used I think. It's also down to the diff viewer how to show it, not the formatter.
Same experience on my first Japan trip earlier this year. Why can't we have nice things over here?

And can you search a git repo on git://my-domain.example.com? Or can you browse that without cloning? And even cgit, can you search that?

Are these now also no longer "open source"?

No.

None of this is somehow a core requirement of "open source".
Sure, but you'll always have some lag and the aftertouch of the DX7 might not come across in the same way. But any half decent midi keyboard should work, for instance:

They have Fatar keyboards which is more than good enough.
> I think it's about escaping local minima?

Yes. It’s also been said (not often enough) “if we don’t compete with ourselves someone else will”. Getting out of one’s own head (and repo) is gold. It shows humility and respect as well as creates innovation and resilience.
One of the other things is that a lot of the food delivery people don't actually live in SF, so they drive from out of town and do Uber things and then go home. So that also makes it harder to support more sensible logistics.
This is pedantic. Even mathematicians - famous pedants - embrace the subjective concept of "non-trivial" answers.
As an EE, when someone explains they need SQL, all the other hallucinated semantic handlebars to compute, I move on.

Abacus, slide rule, grid paper, mechanical pencil, or gtfo!

IT is data librarian work. I compute with raw materials of reality, not 1970s semantic babble. Software as an industry has a lot of fat to cut.

…The argument can work from various contexts. Not the flex you think it is.
Bike shedding. I say this as somebody who has written a once prominent JavaScript code beautifier. Automating code beautification is a nice to have. It becomes essential when developers cannot be bothered to focus on more important things because either more important things are too challenging for the given developers or because the given developers want to feel more important than their contributions/decisions are actually worth.
But for the salesman, the dream died just before he did. It didn't die in his 20s, like it does for too many now.
> I'm not sure why people get the idea that animals should survive in conditions so wildly different from their natural conditions, and why they continue to try to make it work.

You're aware of what animal we are, yes? Our natural habitat is the savanna. We're grassland, running monkeys. We've spread across the entire globe and put our own kind into situations we'd never ask an animal to excel.

It's practically in our own nature to try to defy nature itself, in a stroke of irony.

You're correct, for the record. People get into things they have no clue about and then animals suffer for it. But this stood out to me because we even expect ourselves to make it outside of good conditions.

People doing whiteboard coding should not have to get the syntax 100% (or even 80%) correct. It should be enough to just show conceptual understanding of what kinds of syntactical elements and concepts are present in the language. When I trained for giving interviews @ Google, this was emphasized, at least. It's not about getting the syntax exactly right, it's about getting the algorithm right. Though obviously if someone is getting something fundamental wrong, it raises eyebrows.

If I were interviewing for database/SQL work, I'd be personally probing around understanding of the relational data model, not specifics of SQL syntax. How would you model this table? What's a join? What's normalization? What's wrong, conceptually, with the following schema? etc
You might consider it minor whereas others will base a car purchase around it. Different strokes for different folks.

Strategic Computing's Machine Acquisition Program
This is retrocomputing specific, but this Discord server (https://discord.gg/3wv3gMhp) has quite a few of the big devs in the FPGA gaming space, and they're more than willing to answer questions. They're what really got me going after I built my Pong core.

I have always been a big advocate of learning while doing, especially in software. Find something, preferably small, that you want to build (your Pong), and work on making it a reality. Maybe it's making Snake entirely in HDL. Maybe it's playing around with LiteX on your preferred development platform so you can build something cool with the RISC-V processor (I don't suggest this though, start with learning a normal HDL). Maybe it's simply looking through one of the existing retrocomputing cores, trying to figure out how stuff ticks.

Until you get to the CPU design level, the general concepts you'll encounter will be fairly simple. I think it's enough to just play around with blinking lights, learning how parallel synchronous logic works, relative to how we think of software working.
Often, yes. Also most of what ChainOfFools said.

Also, when I'm ordering food from a restaurant, I am dealing with real people, seeing them in person, and they see me in person. Eating from a restaurant is about much more than just the food. Ghost kitchens eliminate all of that.
Twitter and it's alternatives are dead. The truth no one seems to get is that the demographic shift does not bode well for Twitter or any of it's alts. The only demo with any growth on these platforms is 55+, 35 and under are moving to other forms of social media.
Yet another reason why larger news companies should not be prioritised over individual contributions.
I guess you could say the same about Seinfeld? How could a night club comic or serially unemployed people like George or Kramer afford apartments like that in Manhattan. But I never thought that TV shows were obligated to be 100 percent authentic, especially sit-coms.
Of course, because I'm a NIMBY.
https://mela.recipes/ does this with its built-in browser/parser thing (and it has a bunch more incredibly useful stuff).

Highly recommended, it's from Silvio Rizzi of "Reeder" fame so it's a one-time purchase built with extreme care by a solo dev with excellent product instincts. Huge fan of his work, this kind of high-craftsmanship software is just so pleasant to use.
>Dear God, why does everything have to be a ghoulish march to "scale".

Scaling makes it possible for more people to enjoy higher quality goods/experiences. You're making this post on a device that exists thanks to "scale". You likely live in a city that exist because of "scale". You enjoy modern amenities like electricity and running water thanks to "scale".
How do you reasonably distinguish this between a serious disagreement in a debate, versus an author with an axe to grind (i.e., having hidden motivations)?

Is that down to the formatter - which you've configured to enforce a certain line length (https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html#print-width) - or the diff visualiser that doesn't show a difference between whitespace and other changes?

I've had a couple of inexpensive (<$150) Brother laser printers and they've been awesome. They just reliably print from any device you own. My current one is up to 92k pages printed and all I've done is replace the toner and drums when they are done. Most of the 92k pages were two-side printed even, so the duplexer has held up well.

I can just do "Add printer" without having to download any proprietary printer software on Windows. the iOS app makes printing from there a piece of cake. Brother FTW!
I like the idea that changing the display color was a must-have feature for the initial release. Shows a very solid understanding of the target demographic's user needs. (My 3yo loves any toy that includes a color picker!)
McDonald in Switzerland is more expensive and often worse than comparable stuff in France, living here near border (Geneva) so had plenty of experience. Many better and healthier options are simply not there in CH menu.

You really see they squeeze every bit of quality to have the cheapest menus possible (I guess due to high CH wages), but at the end they cost the same as normal restaurant with lunch menu offer, so only desperate or not-so-smart people go there when there is competition (after 10pm situation is different unfortunately).
Thank you, that is great to hear.
Hm okay. I can see that. I think, it's different for me cause I trust the food safety protocols in place here in Germany to make sure the standards for hygiene etc. are guaranteed. So, the only thing I care about is the quality of the food (i.e. how it tastes) and ime, that's one thing you always have to test with delivery. Even restaurants which are good at in-place dining can have a shoddy delivery experience.
That doesn't really work for the business model of job boards.

Job boards want the potential employees to need to respond to job adverts, which are paid for.
Interesting that you cut the line there, because control over personal possessions usually goes under the "need" category.

Anyway I'm still not sure what point you were originally trying to make, because defeating a landlord in court and getting paid back is at least as good of a proof of "ownership".

Both situations have big flaws in the legal recourse, but you definitely have it in both situations.

Though I prefer the one where I get compensation.
Those devs _can_, but why should they? Code formatting takes a lot of time - it doesn't matter how skilled of a dev you are - you can only accurately <tab> and <space> so fast.

But the big win for code formatters is fewer decisions. Decision fatigue is real.

What's wrong with the application of e.g. Prettier? Is it wrong enough that it's worth your time to manually format however many thousands of LOC, making countless micro decisions along the way?

Weirdly I see that changing the "Projectile" selection to "P3" and then back to the original "P4" made the range drop way down, even though the new value was identical to the old value. But changing the "Main Axel" value made it jump way back up: https://imgur.com/a/boo5Xw3

So maybe some kind of "non-functional"/reused state issue exists regardless?

What does it mean to "own rights" to the distribution of information? It's effectively a restriction on everybody else's freedom of speech for the benefit of the rights holder. Whether this is a net benefit to society or not is very situational, so the ethics here are not as clear cut as you imply.

> You aren’t entitled to watch what you want.

The rights holder is not entitled to stop me from sending certain streams of bits in all circumstances.

Edit: While calling IP "property" can be a useful abstraction in some cases, it leads you astray in others. For example, the only way to measure "losses" from piracy is as loss of potential sales since the owner is not deprived of the "property" in the process. But what are the losses when media not available in a given geography is pirated in that geography? There was no "potential revenue" that could be recognized there because the media was not for sale. Thus one could argue that the losses are precisely $0.
If you mean just Linux and FreeBSD. Even with those two, the API is the same in name only. It's wildly different. Shouldn't share the same name really.
I looked at VMware "in the cloud". It was around $50,000 - $100,000 per year for 48 cores. I've defended AWS pricing many times, mostly because of ability to burst etc. But the VMware workloads are often much flatter in terms of demand - ie, many systems just left running so the AWS value - while there of course, isn't as obvious to me.
And it's EXACTLY the same on Codeberg, and GitLab, and SourceHut, and anything else online. Some of these don't even have a "search" feature.

Mastodon is a different product than what I use Twitter for, but for some use cases and communities seems pretty great. Zero chance of replacing Twitter.

Threads is terrible. Not infeasible that it makes it eventually but it’s just so bad I can’t see how it’s a serious threat.

Bluesky feels very different, maybe like the early days of Twitter and seems to possibly be sanely architected as well as having decent “safety” tools. Seems to be growing. One to watch, and the most likely replacement candidate, but not there yet.

I also have one eye on Nostr and another on Discord, WhatsApp, and YouTube.

Most likely though, I think the new Twitter will be Twitter. It’s not going anywhere, that I can see.

In practice, how often does your rant on memory safety really apply though? Because I currently feel that you're inflating the argument substantially to make it seem like a much bigger, much more common problem, than it is. For reference, in 5-6 years of Go programming, memory allocation has been a problem for me exactly one time, and it was because I was a noob and tried to push about 60GB of data into a variable at once on a virtual machine with 32GB of memory available to it. And it wasn't a silent error, the systemd service I wrote for the application was crashing each time it attempted to load up that mega-variable until I rewrote it in a sane way.

There's nothing vague about it. E.g. just to use the obvious example these stories are about: He lauded, without adding qualifications, a comment that arguably was over-broad and promoted hatred based on race/religion. Again, arguably; but also obviously - as in, that interpretation is an obvious potential one, even if you don't agree with it. And yet, knowing that, he still chose his action. He could have expressed a more reasonable opinion in any of various different ways, or in response to any of the various more reasonable criticisms of e.g. the ADL - but he explicitly chose not to.

So, you may agree or disagree with the position I'm describing as "arguable", but the position is not "vague", and it of course implies none of the hyperbole you've resorted to in painting your opponents.
