The DEV environments I crafted at work, all have constrained CPU, DB backend, and memory. After all, if you need gobs and gobs of CPU and RAM for a single user loading a web page, what on earth will PROD be like, with countless simultaneous page loads??

No, it doesn't slow down DEV work, coding takes place elsewhere.

Shockingly(sarcasm), we've caught many resource issues, eg poor code, poor schema, lack of indexes or db optimization, before they hid prod and become disaster.

AWS is hellish expensive, having a bill 10x what it could be is suboptimal. And the best way to prevent that, is resource constraints from day 1.

Every modern apple device has it, most androids do as well, chromebooks do as well, and microsoft is already requiring a TPM for windows 11.
What's the exact roadmap for that?
Neither of those would have worked, but that's another post. However, I had a third option, which I took: I bought a working NVidia card, put my AMD card in my attic, swore off AMD GPUs and ROCm forever*, and began warn other people against ever relying on AMD.

That's the option I took.

Now, my software is tied to CUDA. Others are building more on top if it. If people want to run my software (or by proxy, and software which uses my software as a platform), they have more-or-less the same option if they accidentally bought AMD.

So far, I haven't heard from any users who accidentally bought AMD.

Right now, I'm just waiting for Arc A770 support to improve, so I can also support Intel. That will be the cheapest way to run my tools, since you get 16GB for $300.

I'm not the only one who took this path. I'm just more vocal about it.

I camped out like this once per year in my teens!

It was lots of fun. We’d hike into the snow pack set up a tent the first night, and spend the second day building snow caves and sledding. Then we’d build a bonfire that would melt down to the ground (or a boulder) by morning. Good times.

Caves take way less time to set up than an igloo and only requires a shovel for equipment. Although, it requires more maintenance for long-term shelter than an igloo. There’s good documentation on how to build one online.
So what? What open source software have you published?

I guess it depends on the complexity of "tell" and what meaning it could decode from the telling. If "deliver the cargo safely over there" meant that it could, in inclement weather, decide "safely" was impossible and then negotiate with ground control to land at a new airport, that's fairly autonomous.
And they couldn't even put application ROM on there.
I'm kinda skeptical of security devices like this that don't have their own screens that let you know what you're authenticating. Obviously there's some applications where it's fine but if the PC it's plugged into is compromised it could be MITMing the auth.

One could make the argument (I do) that the way advertising is done today is a cancer on society. Never mind whether it’s legally sanctioned to do so.

> That’s how capitalism works

Indeed, capitalism has a weakness when it comes to enabling and encouraging predatory behavior. Thankfully, we don’t live in a (completely) capitalist society. Instead, we can make laws to protect consumers against the negative effects and don’t need to strictly adhere to an “ideal” vision of capitalism.
Home Assistant is FOSS software that just runs on a Linux box, its functionality/integrations all come from FOSS plugins that you can write and/or modify yourself.
You're probably thinking of Mizar and Alcor, which are at the middle of the handle of the Big Dipper. This was used as a vision test in ancient times and in the middle ages.

A fun fact is that it is actually six stars. Alcor is a binary star system and Mizar is a quadruple star system.

I wouldn't consider that a tax dodge at all given that the New York State Tax Department had previously issued advisories stating that the way that B&H was accounting for their sales taxes was the correct way to do so[1], and what they were doing was no different from the manufacturer supporting a sale with a drop in wholesale price on the item, which they sometimes do instead of manufacturer coupons. The attorney general was just plain wrong.

It's a balance. But I would say it's important to not view performance as binary (acceptable or not acceptable), and also to not view features as inherently positive.
One parody I expected to see, but didn’t, is the notion that instead of modifying the predicates on the “greatest possible X”, we can instead modify the word greatest.

For instance, suppose I define a custom quality “Quux”. An object is more quux the more purple it is, the more it resembles a unicorn, the more it exists, and the closer it is to the center of Time Square.

We can certainly conceive of a maximally quux object — imagine a purple unicorn in the middle of time square. Therefore, by Anselm’s argument, since quuxness is increasing with existence, there must actually be a purple unicorn in the middle of Time Square.

More importantly, I haven't (yet) read closely enough to tell if you only have blocking constructs in at the moment, but if so you probably want to be able to block on an (unordered) collection of channels. I don't think it matters much if this operation unblocks and performs a channel action or just unblocks when a channel action becomes possible, but it does matter that one should be able to block on a mix of both reads and writes in the same group.
Lots of GPUs and then magic happens. It's well known by now that AI has emergent properties even though it's just a bunch of floating point arithmetic so the plan is to scale up the emergence by monitoring everything 24/7 in the panoptic computroinum chathedral and letting gradient descent handle the rest. The limiting factor is the hardware (monitoring and learning), hence why I need $80B.

OpenAI is a chatbot company and they're worth $100B so my price is a bargain deal for accelerating AGI and the singularity.

Dokku maintainer here.

You can use Dokku if you just need a CLI experience (it also has a paid web ui at https://pro.dokku.com). Works well enough for single servers, and you can use plugins to make it multi-server with Kubernetes or Nomad.

If you want to abstract all the multi-server setup and/or need something a bit more professional, I also work at a company called Porter (https://www.porter.run/), which handles the lifecycle of your app on top of the three major cloud providers. It provides a really nice experience on top of your own cloud, and abstracts the complexities of provisioning VPCs, networking, security, etc.
You have to poke holes in the ceiling, and make sure the they’re clear every day.

If you light a candle, the snow will melt and freeze into a film of ice.

The holes are important for ventilation in general, but it also allows vapor to escape.

When we built them we’d use ski poles to make the holes. You don’t want them to be too big or you risk the structural integrity of course. There was a ratio of hole count : people that we followed but I can’t remember that detail (:
Same here, I also don’t understand why the home app is rather lacking. The light switches in the control center are okay, but that quickly becomes too full. I mostly use voice commands to manage my lights and third party apps like the one from Eve for other accessories.
They filed a lawsuit against the engineers behind the reverse engineering of GTA III/VC who published their work on GitHub.

It's an emissions violation, that's why.

Yes it should be better documented. I ran into this as well on my Subaru, but once the cap is on proper it -should- turn off within ~1hr of driving (constant or short trips)

To wit; if you don't put AdBlue in a diesel it will eventually outright stop working altogether even though it's only there for emissions.
This implies that a brick on a gas pedal is autonomous driving.

It might be technically correct, but hardly true to the intent.
No. This is rose-colored glasses. Maybe the author doesn't remember the blue screen of death, or reflexively hitting ctrl-S every five minutes to save because the software might crash, or clicking on menus in Word and they wouldn't open because you had a macro virus. Maybe the author doesn't remember broken software that just was not fixed, ever, because there were no software updates. Maybe the author is just too young to remember those things. Well I remember them.

Software simply does a lot more than it used to. A lot of people are complaining about chat clients. Today's chat client is a lot more complicated. Sure, go back and use IRC from thirty years ago. Do you remember all those commands? slash-something?

And all that old, simple software is still there if you want it, better than ever. Go get Emacs, or vim, or mutt, or your old IRC client. Go download MP3s and put them in your folders and use a command-line program to play them back. Nobody has taken any of that software from anybody.

And if I want to develop that simple software, it's easier than ever. A Common Lisp compiler used to cost big money, and even a C compiler came in a shrink-wrapped box, unless you had heard of GCC - which was hard because there wasn't much of an Internet. Now I can download that stuff for free. On my Mac I can get the same tools pros use, for free. Microsoft used to charge big bucks for comparable tools.

Software is not getting worse.
HomeAssistant is FOSS and it has an incredible number of integrations, it's extremely capable though not as user-friendly as commercial offerings when it comes to setting it up, which is to be expected.

In similar vein ESPHome and Tasmota are 2 independent FOSS projects that can replace proprietary firmware on many commercial smart devices based on ESP32.

Some WiFi-based smart devices like those made by Shelly work without internet access and integrate with HA via local HTTP API.

Fully local smart home is possible, but you'll need to research what you're buying - as a general rule, you should avoid WiFi-based smart devices unless they offer a local API. Everything else (ZigBee, Z-Wave) should work offline without proprietary hubs, though I'm sure there are exceptions.

I recall reading Spider magazine in Pakistan. It was a magazine about the internet, more than computers. It would have reviews for websites and articles about maintaining online privacy in the early 2000s.

I didn't know any of this. I pay attention to IoT (and run a modest Home Assistant setup in my home.) Had I known about these constraints, I would have written off Matter from the beginning.

What were they thinking?
good take
Software is fast enough for most users to not complain. And as long as users are happy business doesn't care about speed.

The way to break a loop is to target audience with lower lag-tolerance. Once the user experiences fast product it'll be annoying to use everything else.
Expecting(hoping?) software you run on your hardware to be libre shouldn’t be dependent on your abilities to develop and publish software , open source or otherwise.

Not everyone, even in this forum is a software developer, and out of those who are - most work for an organization therefore don’t own what they develop and have limited influence to choose licensing of their work product.

At best we can perhaps maybe point out someone’s hypocrisy if they already develop software who’s licensing is under their control(I.e. not paid for by someone) and is also closed source and at the same time demand for open source from others . Even then I don’t think it is a good sentiment to have .
Meh tbh reddit bans everyone now, it's not the place it once was where if you're banned on reddit you have to be particularly bad.

This is definitely on our radar.

At the moment we still have a lot of dynamics in the product, eg frequent firmware updates on the shipped units and this is why we currently prefer to ship directly.

Once things are more settled down we will look for fulfillment centers in Europe and the US.
> Most devs do the best they can within the constraints imposed on them.

This is not really my experience. Most devs within a corporate structure are lazy and will do the bare minimum.

I don’t have a good list of which games I validated in parallels and which I didn’t (since I’ve stopped gaming for the last 6 months or so).

And I do heavily play boomer shooters so it’s likely I was impressed by performance of less demanding games.

Doom Eternal is one AAA game I definitely would want to play in Parallels but can’t because the Vulkan version is not new enough. I’m confident though that Microsoft could bring these APIs up-to-date on an “ARM PC” though, if it has capable 3D hardware.
Agreed. I like that you need to use '-r' ... it's that extra layer of safety and intention. A whole directory gone is a bit hard to recover from.
> They don't? Why not?

Because it's my device. If youtube wants to not send me the video, that's perfectly within their rights. But once they've sent the video, their rights end unless they have a contractual agreement with me personally.
A lot of decisions are like that - individually, they’re the right one to make at the time, but they add up, and when there isn’t any serious framework for looking critically at their place in the whole, you end up with what we have, which is apps with a handful of core features people actually want and use, drowning in an avalanche of pointless bloated junk. And those apps in turn add up, even a latest gen m2 pro will struggle running Slack, Zoom, Excel, IntelliJ, Mail, Chrome etc etc which REALLY shouldn’t be the case. (AND proves that talk of “we don’t need to optimize, these days computers can easily run whatever” simply isn’t true - resources are like a vacuum, they expand junk until the junk fills the void, when the space could in fact have been better used by actually useful things)
I grew up in Detroit and for a long time it had an amazing public school program for music and the arts. I received an instrument of my choosing (a violin) and instructions on how to play it. I also received regular instruction in art appreciation. I was never much of a fiddle player but became a gained a lifelong appreciation for the arts.

How one guy is able by sheer force of will fund and drive a program of this magnitude is inspiring to me.

The Detroit school programs birthed all the artists from Motown, healthy communities of rappers and jazz musicians as well as techno and proto punk.
> Which is mooted with single payer.

As in doctors, nurses, and other personnel will accept lower salaries because they won't have any choice? I'm not sure that would work in the US.

Also, there are relatively efficient non-single-payer systems in Europe (e.g., IIRC, Switzerland and the Netherlands don't have the equivalents of Medicare/Medicaid). Proper regulation, including price transparency and regulation, would solve most of the main issues and would probably be much easier to achieve than a single-payer system.

A federally imposed universal single-payer system seems to be totally politically infeasible. The best you could hope for is a two-tier system with the government continuing to subsidize for-profit healthcare (including insurance) companies (all extremely expensive treatments covered by the government, but most people who can afford it will continue having private coverage as well).

Wouldn't it be much easier (and possibly more efficient and equitable) to just adopt the Dutch system?

You're absolutely right, and its pathetic. There is no reason for anything to just "not work" on linux. As far as technical limitations go, computers have hit a zenith over 10 years ago. Yes sometimes things change, i remember when youtube's codec was altered and suddenly perfectly good hardware was unable to stream videos any longer. This was however still a technical change, as it allowed for more efficient packing of content. I digress.

What we're seeing now, is purely political, or at the very least business-strategic, and linux is being purposefully omitted as an un-attested platform since it precisely gives users too much control/takes away revenue from someone's bottom line. The same thing could be said for console games which never hit pc at all either. And the last example which i think really brings it home is that ms teams not only doesnt work on firefox, linux is also off the table. Not because of any technical limitations in the least, as an off the shelf dell laptop + ubuntu + ff will give you a working video conferencing solution with google meet. Out. Of. The. Box. So it certainly isn't technically limited. It is rather chosen to be this way to force users into windows + edge or their native app solution.
So what exactly a property is would also naturally be up for debate, but an example property would be say having a mass of 13kg. Or being pink. Most adjectives presumably are corresponding to properties, some would word my formulation as to exist is to be the subject of a predicate.

There are also relational properties, like being ten meters away from the Eiffel tower.

Some would call existence a second order property.

The Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy gives s good overview of the issues around existence. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/existence/
Yes. We are increasingly working with a model where we have resources for free, and the most valuable resource happens to be developer time.

If our tooling and efficiency is getting better, why would we not be able to automate a wide variety of efficiency improvements as mere compiler tasks and get away with it?

It's not. The life cycle prioritizes process over product and real-life constraints, thereby making software engineering a drive-by operation.

Many of our software engineering
methods today are discardable and thus unsustainable as well.

We need to bring back the notion of developer attention and stop relying on mere tooling for improving our software. Our tooling is only as good as we are, and tools are also written by oblivious software developers, after all.

We need to have ways where software developers look to perfect their art, understand the basics, dive bit-by-bit and get back to improving their applications. As opposed to simply complaining that their Electron based application is slow.

They have to work with employers and teams who allow them to do that, at least once in their careers. That may get them to understand a lot of issues better and will lead to better outcomes for themselves and everyone around they write software for.

There are many things a disciplined person could do, yet discipline is hard: picking a few places to do this sort of work is a great way to start this transformation.
