I'm not sure if counts as "orthogonal persistence", but there's the Aurora Operating System[0] from 2021. It's apparently based on FreeBSD, and can run most unmodified apps, as well as having an API to support its Store.

"We present the Aurora single level store
(SLS), an OS that simplifies persistence by automatically per-
sisting all traditionally ephemeral application state. With
recent storage hardware like NVMe SSDs and NVDIMMs,
Aurora is able to continuously checkpoint entire applications
with millisecond granularity.
Aurora is the first full POSIX single level store to han-
dle complex applications ranging from databases to web
browsers"

Just speaking for myself but if I were getting a 500k salary, my remaining concerns would shift in the direction of worrying about the longevity of human civilization, and less about the value of my equity comp. That's because I'd have enough to put a roof over my kids heads and food on their plate, so the world they grow up in would be my next priority. That would probably have me siding with the board against Altman.

But I don't work at AI or earn that kind of money, so who knows.
Glad someone mentioned the Penner functions, that was a godsend in my early flash days.
There is some implicit context you are missing here.

Tools like hatchet are one less dependency for projects already using Postgres: Postgres has become a de-facto database to build against.

Compare that to an application built on top of Postgres and using Celery + Redis/RabbitMQ.

Also, it seems like you are confusing aesthetic with ergonomics. Since forever, software developers have tried to improve on all of "aesthetics" (code/system structure appearance), "ergonomics" (how easy/fast is it to build with) and "performance" (how well it works), and the cycle has been continuous (we introduce extra abstractions, then do away with some when it gets overly complex, and on and on).

I think that’s not entirely correct either, for example Nvidia had to file a 13F for its holdings after their value of ARM shares exceeded 100M. And the requirement I believe is not for investment advisors (which is its own thing, see Register Investment Advisors from the SEC), but broadly extends to institutional investment managers which is a lot looser of a definition that can certainly include private companies like broker-dealers, in addition to hedge funds, RIC, etc as well as public corporation like Nvidia depending on the types of activities they are involved in.

The whole thing is insane.
Not everyone who “skips” having kids is doing so because of mental derangement (not usually genetic), a genetic disease (be careful with eugenics, it tends to bite), or any kind of mistake. Most people I know in their 40s and 50s who don’t have kids desperately wanted them but for one reason or another couldn’t have them, while most of those who actually chose not to had good, well-reasoned motivations and made the correct choice for them.

Spend enough years struggling to find a decent partner and then IFF you eventually do even more years struggling through the inhumane process that is IVF and you’ll also have your aunt’s regret, but not have made any mistakes along the way.
I get that people can debate the existential satisfaction of having kids, however what doesn’t seem debatable is the “next level” personal development that occurs by having kids. The first six months of parenthood broadens perspectives and instills more wisdom than 60 years of having pets, or volunteering at X, or traveling, or any other activity offered as an alternative.
Let the grifting begin!
I would stop my friend to talk about Bitcoin, and replace it with Ethereum discussions xD
It just always seemed like a curse to me to only be able to ponder such a very very short small & local set of considerations. I think it's amazing that our species can take such grander views. Having children seems to truncate that perspective enormously.

Still want kids, still excited for this future. But man, I think most kids would have much better lives & grow up to be better more interesting people if the parents & adults didn't have to make such enormous sacrifices, if there was some spare capacity left over. And I think capitalism & the world we live in today is especially draining & enmiserating in this way.
yeah! but main motive was to make it as free as possible. Someone like me who does not have much of money to buy a piano but to play one see this as absolute win with trade offs ofc!
Oh, the question at hand will be for a court to decide if it ever matters, which it doesn't to me.
Yeah like from example, from an atheist point of view (and I'm not an atheist) you could say all religions are a sham...

FWIW, I also think all religions are a sham but I do think something "above" exists, and yeah, that which exists allows suffering in this world, take it or leave it...

...which is one of the main atheist debating points like "but the children with cancer" and yeah I agree those children shouldn't go through that but I also acknowledge something "greater" exists, that, for better or worse, whether I like it or not, or anyone else for that matter, allows these children to exist and suffer...

...humankind does however self-inflict a lot of suffering...

It still makes sense to keep random people from generating images of public figures, at least for an election cycle or two, until people have become accustomed to critically thinking about what they see.

I guess "gated" must somehow really really slow down emergancy crews on their way to an accident in Texas.

> move to very remote, inaccessible mansions

It really doesn't seem that remote, I can see other properties in the neighbourhood, it appears to be 10 mile or so from Johnson City (~2,000 people), etc, the property is under a thousand acres.

This is all relative, of course; I live in a state 3x bigger than Texas and the vast bulk of the population of ~ 2 million live in the one corner making the rest of the state easily more remote than this.

If you live in a large city then I guess all places "not a city" must seem equally remote to you, but I can assure it's very much not so - I worked in geophysical exploration in two thirds or so of the 190+ countries across the globe and on a remote scale of (say) New York City to Baliem Valley this is pretty much G20 city outskirts.
> "wake up" the individual to these behaviors and their ignorance of the reality around them

It can also just make them not care about having "good" or "bad" behaviors as defined by an "external" source.
I doubt that having children answers the big existential questions anymore, if the planet is probably going on fire during the lifetime of the next generation.

There is a layer of steel on the bottom that provides the structure for the tape and a layer of silver on top of the REBCO ceramic layer for electrical connection, but the whole tape is coated in copper which is the secondary conductor. When superconducting, the tapes, which are wound in a coil, carry the current and the copper acts as an insulator between tapes, but if it stops superconducting, the copper can become a resistive conductor which helps prevent quenching.

That Addendum has caused considerable consternation among game developers and — to my knowledge — few are prepared to sign it.

The main points of contention are:
- the technology fee (the cost of advertising has already cut badly into their margins in the wake of identifier reform);
- the clause making the Addendum also binding on any corporate parents and subsidiaries — the game industry is pretty consolidated and this limits the options for independent game studios which are also subsidiaries;

The fee is particularly nasty for hypercasual games, where a very realistic scenario has you paying for millions of installs, only to find your monetization lacking and you paying additional fees to the platform, of all things.

There are very real concerns with the Addendum and making signing only about Epic’s bona fides is reductive and wrong.

No we are getting to the crux of the issue, the fact that you believe Goolge, or likely any of the other Alphabet companies, are sitting on billions and they operational cost is next to nothing.

Here is the experiment I generally recommend that may help you solve this. Build a service even half as competent as YouTube and host it. Serve even one or two users a month, project your costs out to 5-10million consecutive users and exabytes of media stored and see just how astronomical that price is.
This disgusts me, because I want to think about meaning, and the statement strikes me as a hand-wavy excuse for distracting oneself, as well as an attack on my values. But then, the point raised by the article is that distraction is somewhat similar to meaningful purpose, and the line is a fine one because we adapt to new problem situations. Watching myself go through such adaptation is always somewhat creepy, and the moments of choice before embarking on a momentous project are difficult, not merely for reasons of cost/benefit analysis but because "cost" and "benefit" are liable to redefined by embarking, which is just confusing. Charlie Kaufman wrote a film called "Adaptation" which I thought was about this maybe.

Every company is different - "non-US founder" is a very broad category, and you need advice from a competent attorney.

If you've got global revenue, then you should use it to pay a lawyer to tell you what to do. Try Cooley.

If you don't have global revenue, then don't worry about it. Just use a local company for as long as you can. Eventually, you'll be able to flip it to a US parent company if that's what makes sense (e.g. because you raise money from US VC fund).
A tilt/shift lens is great… but it’s nowhere near as flexible as a field or monorail view camera.

Luckily they tended to be built to last and there’s load of them out there, if you know where to look.
Seems like there's an entire genre of digging up obscure women in male-dominated fields. It sucks because the sheer predictability of it causes me to question whether these women were truly influential or whether they're just used as props in some sort of ultra modern campaign. Surely many of these women were genuinely influential, and they don't deserve my suspicion. But the way they're trotted out like this practically forces me to be suspicious. I don't like how this game forces me to become suspicious of talented women, nor how it downgrades these women's achievements to "women's achievements", rather than just "achievements". It seems like the only people who win are the campaigners. Would a powerful, intelligent person want her life story to be titled "Overlooked No More", or might such a person be embarrassed by that diminishing characterization?
> Nobody bought the Apple SDKs

That's what the $99/year fee is for. Apple set that price themselves. It can also be argued that some of the cost of the SDKs is included into the price of the Mac that any iOS developer has to have.

> or OS

That's included into the price of every iPhone because you can't even buy an iPhone without an OS or install your own, like you can do with PCs.
It's a good question. My opinion as an American isn't definative, but I'll offer my viewpoint.

The primary reason most Americans would not care comes down to policy. There are thousands of things that we refuse to export to China, and adding a few computers to the list wouldn't raise any eyebrows. Both major political parties are strategically invested in Taiwan, so there is a bipartisan motivation to pass tough-on-China policies. It's definitely arbitrary, but not unwarranted; China invoked this through territorial aggression.

The rest of your examples would probably make even the least-patriotic Americans laugh. The right to self-determination is not an invitation to Maoist-Famine your entire population. There are humanitarian (as well as territorial and political) implications to a nation's actions, especially when it takes up arms against it citizens or defends a mistake of international concern. Very few remaining Americans share your anti-globalist mindset - tragically, the few who do are obsessed with American exceptionalism all the same.

I hope that could help. Words can't describe how nuanced the American national sentiment is, there are layers of secularism and faux-support that are overriden by completely different ideals. It's not much different from most places in the end though, I'd imagine.
I suspect that parent comment is not referring to the same kinds of people you are. I can relate because I know several people who flippantly dismissed family formation as not for them and now that it's too late they admit it consumes them like a fire on a daily basis.

I'm an Android developer myself, but the app store is commonly seen by my iOS colleagues just as a stupid hurdle they must clear to get their app out to the world. Not as the godsend that Apple portrays it.

If the app store is truly as immensely useful as Apple wants everyone to believe, why not enable full-on Android-style sideloading on iOS and let the app store compete with that on its own merits? Surely everyone would still prefer it if it's so great?
Of course the removal of the curse of existential freedom is the reason for having children. Whether people consciously reason it out or not, it's agony wondering whether every decision is part of 'the right thing', and pure relief when a constraint descends of there being only one thing to do, which is imperative. 'You have to' frees you from the indulgent loneliness of 'You wanted to'. But neither the article or anyone here has stopped to consider whether it's ethical or defensible to bring beings into the world, to suffer, for the sake of easing your confusion and boredom. To me, it's not. Taking on a responsibility is one thing. Creating the problem that you then take responsibility for (your child's need of care), is neutral at best and, arguably, crooked.
> American parents really get up in arms about this stuff, which is something I’ve learned firsthand over the past few years. (I’ve also learned to recognize when they don’t want to hear my counterargument.) But the fact of the matter is, babies throughout history have slept—and in many places today, still sleep—in the same “bed” as their parents. Various positions of sleeping (back, side, stomach) are also common across cultures and time.

At the risk of being one of those parents who don't want to hear a counterargument…

Sure, this is all true, but the author's argument is unsatisfying. We've done lots of things throughout history that have since been proven unsafe. Putting babies on their back to sleep is correlated with a 50% reduction in SIDS deaths. I don't think you can handwave that away with "we used to do it differently" or "non-American cultures do it differently."
that is normal for controversional comments.

controversial means some people agree with you, which can only upvote. those who dont agree with you can downvote AND flag it.
> Spend enough years struggling to find a decent partner

Even worse, what do people do who aren't decent partners themselves? I always wondered how people can think that children are for everyone, but also think that it is hard to find a partner that can help you with the kids. If there are so many people out there who would be horrible parents then maybe those people are better off not being parents, why try to convince them to be one?
Trust me, if I knew you were Tim Cook I would have said a lot uglier words to you.
There are many convincing arguments for kids but deathbed regrets are not one of them. First, who cares about what I will regret at the end? It’s the end. Second, I don’t trust the perspectives of people in the extreme situation of “just about to die”. They invariably have romanticised views about life, because they’re about to lose it. They’re not at all thinking of the huge stresses of children
That’s amazing. I even think it is ridiculous that when offered 20% higher reward for changing choices, when both cups have the same chance, people don’t jump at the better (change) offer.

> will there ever be anyone that goes the other way

I'm sure that some teachers, as well as parents who have seen large credit card bills for Fortnite lootboxes, are grateful that Apple is aggressively targeting one of the banes of their existence. If anything, they'll be disappointed that Apple blinked and let Fortnite continue to exist!

In seriousness, though, I do wonder if some of the sheen of "you need to have blue iMessage bubbles to be one of the cool kids" has been irrevocably damaged by this. Perhaps Apple reversed its decision rapidly enough. I suppose only time will tell, but at minimum it's the type of risky move that seems desperate on Apple's part.

This would be MASSIVE for schools with children who are learning to use switches or eyegaze or other access methods and could be educational too.

That’s a good point and is a reason why I think it’s no longer true. Is the suggestion that when I have children I will not worry about their fate? I’m existentially worried about my own fate due to climate change (will economy explode in 20 or 40 years?)

This, along with the stress of no family support and wife working, is the main pressure to not have kids for me

I'm surprised they actually exist instead of being a rendered design concept that I saw many years ago, and are apparently common and numerous enough that someone would write a listicle about them.
