I tried again last night with just arecord, and that worked without issue on both 44100 and 48000 Hz. Something is amiss in Ardour, Reaper, and Audacity, so I suspect my sound server is just misconfigured and each DAW is using the misconfigured bit instead of direct device access. I'll try again later with dnf upgrade and a reboot.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll put a watch out on that MXL. (It's not in my usual stores.) Noise, I can probably FetHead much of it away.

This seems like splitting hairs. Sure, maybe x.get is better, but would that be a deal breaker? Know you are just giving quick example, but this just struck a cord. Are jobs really so hard to get that employers can be that nit-picky?
The reality is, the Luddites are actually receiving quite a lot of positive attention in recent years[0][1][2]. As you've said, they weren't fighting against machines, they were fighting against the use of machines to circumvent labour practices, i.e., using machines to replace labour who had grown too powerful and were difficult for the ruling class to control.

I'm not sure if you were saying this argument is poor because the Luddites made it, but the Luddites were right: Textile workers were particularly badly impacted by technology in the early 19th century, but the 19th century in western Europe saw a massive and accelerating concentration of wealth that was only knocked off-course in the wake of the First World War. Since the 1980s, we've been seeing a similar change again - so it's not surprising to see similar views now to those of the Luddites 200 years ago.

For me it seems to be a debate between moral versus money. Is it morally correct to create technology that would be extremely profitable but has the potential to fundamentally change humankind.
There’s no single way “native” speakers say any word, and the fact that you think there is shows you have had no exposure to the massive diversity of American accents.
Ehh if you look at other "modern" countries you see workers being paid half as much. Not to say that the US is any sort of paradise, but there are definitely tradeoffs that favor either direction.

But it sounds like he won? He got his $200k and found a new job before any PIP was implemented? Why would his manager have been upset if they were actually trying to force him out?

Surely HR knows how long it takes to exit someone and if they wanted to keep the $200k they would have started the process earlier?
I guess it depends.

Personally, if it's a job I really dislike, I don't mind losing the extra $X,000. I've discovered through the years my mental health is worth a lot more. Once you leave a high-paying job for one that pays less, or even to just take a break and earn nothing, you start thinking about these sorts of little extras as inconsequential at best.

If the next job pays more than the last one, you could say it's a net loss for the employee too, since that's an extra two weeks one could've earned more.

But if neither of those apply, it's probably worth it to hang around and get some extra cash, or just get a couple more weeks of hanging at the job with "graduation goggles" and little work stress, yeah.

But wouldn't you claim that this is not a very common view to hold about the process of quitting, in the US? I've lost count how many times I've heard managers/executives being pissed off because an employee left without a two week notice, and they treat that happening as some sort of failure, instead of just a normal thing.
Also going on about how everything was done right "back in my day". Which doesn't sound true to me, every old graybeard story I read was full of complaining about how buggy and unusable the systems by the old tech giants were.

First, there is a FreeBSD Errata Notice for this that offers an nice quick collection of the various bugs and subsequent repairs, with links to summaries, for anyone who is catching up on this issue:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=275308

Second, I don't like the editorialization of this title ("In OpenZFS and Btrfs, everyone was just guessing") at all. No, nobody was "just guessing", but as far as I know there is no featureful FS that has undergone formal verification. It's a large codebase started by a now long defunct company that solved critical problems and delivered a lot of value, but there absolutely can be issues lurking over long time periods. It's a testament if anything that work and usage did uncover the issue, it wasn't brushed away at all but instead drilled down on and solved in short order, and now the already extensive test suites are expanded again in an organized way. And spekaing of "critical problems":

Third, a lot of the commentary around these sorts of things seems to indulge in noticing the rare misses while ignoring many hits. Amongst other reasons part of the core motivation for me to switch to ZFS 100% in 2010/2011 or so and doggedly stick with it ever since was precisely because I experienced data rot (permanent corruption) with my data under previous filesystems where that WAS NOT A BUG. HFS/UFS/NTFS/XFS/whatever, none of them offer any guarantees of data integrity in the first place! Bit flips somewhere, hardware has issues, copying has noise, whatever? RAID-5 write hole? Those or lots of other things are not a bugs at all in old filesystems, because that's just how those primitive things were. I've been carrying forward data since my first Apple IIe, and went back to find some of my old work, early digital photos and drawings I cared about, and somewhere along the line it had gotten mucked up. I know not where or when, because there was no chain of checksumming and trust that would have a chance to alert me. It's impossible for a human to keep up with terabytes of data manually, it has to be fully automated, baked in. At least in ZFS there being any corruption is a drop-everything big deal problem that is incredibly rare and niche and serious people will care very much about. Pretending the old stuff was good or even acceptable is pure bullshit.

It doesn't have to be mathematically perfect to deliver value, and importantly to be far superior to everything that came before. And it's inarguable that it's been battle tested very very hard for a very long time at this point. It's certainly saved my bacon a few times.
That's why I know it's low ;) In fact, after picking up some G12, I can even refill it myself!

But why is it low? Is it because the seals in the cap are getting old and slightly out gassing? Or is it because I have a hairline crack in a gasket that's about to be a catastrophic crack?

There's almost two orders of magnitude difference in price between those two repairs!

The author is under naive impression that most innovation until now (i.e. anything created before they turned 35, eh?) was done for some "utilitarian reason", as opposed to modern innovation, which is done to eliminate jobs. This begs for the "corporate wants you to find the difference between these pictures" meme - they are, and always have been[0], the same thing.

Specifically, if something is useful, it's probably useful enough to do at scale, for which you may need to hire people. Improving this means you need to hire less people. Printing press eliminated scribes (and broke the hold of Catholic church over Europe). Washing machines put us in a two-income-household trap. Cars all but extincted horses. Most of technology all but eliminated farmers.

Also the current AI is as utilitarian as it gets. It's a literal "do what I mean" magic box for improving all white-collar work (== automating those jobs away).

Sometimes old stepper motor hard drives can be surprisingly resilient just because everything is bigger and chunkier and dumber. The bits on the platter are physically bigger. You can hand-crank the spindle motor to help it get going, oil the motor bearings if you need to, you can whack the side with a screwdriver to get the heads unstuck, you can brutally low-level format the entire thing to get it going again after the magnetic media has become corrupted... And even a more modern dead drive that could theoretically be resurrected might have firmware that refuses to continue when it discovers abnormal conditions -- a big dumb MFM drive will just power through it until the bearing grease gets unstuck, or whatever the case may be.

If you have old drives like these they probably have a lot of years left in them still if one does what you do -- spin them up and let them exercise a little bit every once in a while.

There are two types of games: finite games and infinite games.

Finite games have fixed rules, a winner and loser, etc.

Infinite games don't have fixed rules, conventions are just conventions to be tested/broken, and the goal is not to win but to stay in the game for as long as possible.

Most games in the real world are infinite games. "Winning by merit" is a finite game not an infinite one.

I think it would go further. The CMA can impose fines of 10% of worldwide revenue if they ignore the breach, and also disqualify at least the UK business unit company directors from holding another UK company directorship for up to 15 years (in any company).

I think the only way to do it would be to entirely pull Adobe out of the UK market. This would be extremely difficult for many reasons, not only that Adobe has many multi year enterprise license agreements with many UK companies which would incur enormous penalties for severing them, plus the UK is probably still a quite large market for Adobe.

I'm not even sure if that's possible though, as they could still get a judgement in the UK and then take that to other jurisdictions to get payment for fines and other breaches.

> Will Europe ever start asking why it is falling behind the USA?

Compared to when exactly? The USA has played a major role in winning World War II when most Western European countries were occupied (read: lost already). Then, they funded the rise of the United Kingdom, France, and Germany through the Marshall Plan in 1948. Then, the USA pushed against Russia. Honestly, no Western democracy was really interested in becoming part of the Soviet Union, so having some USA backup was not bad. The USA flew circles around the Soviet engineering. Literally actually since the USA spy planes first flew too high for Soviet rockets to shoot down and when that didn't work anymore they flew too fast for Soviet rockets to shoot down. Then the USA military helped invent computer chips during the Vietnam war (a war which on itself is a bit more questionable, but okay), went to the moon first, and invented the internet.

When in this story was Europe not behind the USA?
