> Don’t mistake campaigning or messaging for actual party policy.

Really? I've seen this my whole life from political rulers. They start campaigning for something outrageous that the people and their voters absolutely do not want. While at the same time saying that they don't really mean it and nothing is actually going to change. A few years later they have implemented the hated policy and say "Of course, we said we were going to do it from the beginning!".

Drives me nuts that people fall for it every time. When politicians say they're going to do something awful, they will! You might even see yourself or your children sent to war.

That would require drivers, though. With Qualcomm producing the CPUs, we'll probably need an Ahasi-scale project to make Linux usable on these devices, and that won't happen unless Windows on ARM takes off.

How’s this compare to other dotfile managers? The docs are very barebones and don’t explain the benefits to using this, or really what this is doing under the hood.

Because, if you find it relevant what the sex of the board members that made that mistake was, how is that any better than the alleged sexism that McGovern had endured? If you think that, you must also think that a board consisting mainly (or fully) of women that makes some mistake has to do with them being women, right?

Your entire post resonates with me - I was interested in programming since about 12 years old, and just fell into it with CS as the most obvious major in college, and the most obvious job to get out of college. But if you ever asked me from 12-18 what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would never have said "programmer".

I have enough money to retire and be the simple living farmer/beach bum that I would like to be, but now I have a wife and children and it seems unfair to foist my desire on them.

edit: I found people that tested the pentaborane/fluorine combination specifically,

https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/trecms/pdf/AD0270941.pdf ("EXPLORATORY RESEARCH ON HIGH ENERGY PROPELLANT SYSTEMS" (1961))

- "An instantaneous hypergolic ignition occurred with a very long brilliant greenish-white flame and clouds of dense white smoke. Approximately four seconds after the start of the run, a leak developed in the fluorine valve stem. The lowered pressure in the fluorine line caused a flashback and the fluorine line ruptured. The very fuel rich combustion and decomposition of pentaborane which then resulted quickly plugged up the injector holes with the thick polymerized products of decomposition of pentaborane."
Focusing so much of our research and innovation on digital technologies does seem like something that will bite us eventually. Maybe once VR gets good enough no one will leave the house and it will all balance out.
Most humanities papers/journals have a much more readable and approachable single column format. The flipside, however, is that they eschew much of the clearly defined structure of scientific papers.

Scientific paper formatting is because they are still, generally, actually paper-published. 2 column layouts, for instance, are actually quite readable on paper. Online articles tend to have single column styles.

There is also very little "fiddling" in academic publishing. Journals/publishers tend to pick a template and styling system and funnel everything into that single style regardless of content. They are usually thinly staffed and want to enforce aesthetic standardization article to article to reduce typesetting workload and to ward off any claims of favoritism.
Something I didn't have space to mention in the piece was that during the recession of the early eighties, Vector went out of their way to support their dealer network.

They offered loans and let dealers delay payments on deliveries to get them through the tough times.

It arguably cost them ground against IBM because it squeezed them further financially. But it was also another reason the Dealer network remained fiercely loyal to Vector - especially under Harp.

Ha ha, nice.

You can do something similar to that with awk.

The classic book titled The Unix Programming Environment, by Kernighan and Pike, has some good examples of that.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unix_Programming_Environ...

You have to quote and unquote parts of the awk command appropriately, so that some parts of the command are processed directly by awk, and others by the shell (first).

Well, I think it helps to understand that this is a negotiation and there are tactics to it. If you have little actual leverage but lots of time and confidence, it helps to do most of the talking, because you are essentially (politely) repeating your talking points over and over, in the hopes of wearing the other party down.

This is basically what politicians and salescritters do for a living, by the way.

The conversation in the video is actually rather bad at showing off the bot's abilities (if that was the intent) because the agent gave the caller what they wanted right away and the caller just accepted it. But all good negotiators NEVER take the first offer and usually don't take the 3rd or 4th either. If you really want the best deal possible, you have to keep asking permutations of, "Is that really your best offer?" Or "Can you throw anything else in?" Or "Can you do any better than that?"

I don’t think you can. Your other options are to either use older Android phones, or switch to a libre-focused phone such as Fairphone 5.

> Citizens/residents have no unique identifier

actually that's not true: people in Germany have MANY unique IDs: they have not one but TWO tax identifiers ("Steuernummer" and "Steuer ID"), social security number ("Sozialversicherungsnummer"), national ID number ("Personalausweisnummer"), passport number ("Reisepaßnummer") and health insurance ID ("Krankenversicherungsnumer"), among others.

I don't know of that's the cause, but it could be an interesting theory to look into.

But taking job offshoring, as an example. It could be fairly straightforward to determine how much tax revenue a car produced in, say, Germany, contributes to the economy, vs the same car imported from abroad. But where it gets complicated is that, German unemployment being low, the worker that lost his or her job to offshoring didn't turn out jobless, and by his or her work is still contributing to tax incomes. So what is the loss?

A lot of money is lost to tax havens, but the hourly productivity has also increased drastically, meaning that governments might still get more income per worker, per working hour. Governments are loosing in absolute terms, but have they lost income in relative terms?

The general feeling I have, is that a lot more money is lost to greed. As an example, we could take healthcare. It is undeniable that the average quality of healthcare has increased (for instance, looking at cancer suitability), but the cost of basic healthcare items have also, in some cases, increased disproportionately. (For instance looking at the cost of insulin in the US, or a dose of COVID vaccine, etc). So the general impression is that we are paying a lot more than before for only a slight increase in health and well-being.

And how does that apply to other trades? Construction costs have exploded, but we are not getting much better houses for it.

And therefore the general question was more: which parts of society are profiteering from forms of greed and price-gouging, how can we quantify that, and what can be done about it so that we, as a society can continue to improve on the care and the services we offer to our citizens, as opposed to accepting regression as the inevitable way forward.

Really I find the exact opposite issue. Way to many things have started to differ between Mac and Linux for Mac to be of any real value. It's actually a negative in a lot of ways because it's close enough to trick you.

I've had to switch to just native linux but when I don't have my work laptop WSL works perfectly for all our tests while Mac fails.
I think your body tends to get strong where it needs to.

In high school, I spent most of my spare time riding my bike. My pants were a size or two too big in the waist so my legs would fit in.

I was great at leg press, but I could barely bench the bar. Rock climbing isn't my sport, and I swim like a brick.

I'm similarly haunted by the question of an avuncular Anglo-Indian office manager some thirty years ago who upon learning that I had no kids exclaimed "How do you know that you're not just shooting blanks?!" I've wondered ever since how is have explained to that putative first-born that really they were just the pipe-cleaning debugging trial run, just making sure that the baby-batter cannon didn't need a rebore before settling down to a proper production run. (I'm sure that he'd have regarded my eventual brood of two as being confirmation of my lack of earnestness...a dilettante of the dong department)

This article gives me an excuse to mention my favorite obscure old keyboard switch type: the acoustic keyboard switch.

Back in the 80s when electronics were expensive, someone figured out that you could detect all key-presses on a keyboard with just a couple of microphones. There was no wiring to any of the key switches, instead there was a long metal bar underneath the keyboard with a microphone on each side. Pressing a key made a little metal hammer hit that bar, and the difference of arrival between the two microphones was then used to figure out which key had been pressed.

Here's a presentation from Keycon 2014 about it (starts at 1:46:01, description of how it works starts at 1:50:30): https://www.youtube.com/live/AvszDsr1js8?t=6361
Getting a bit of encouragement and positive feedback can be very motivating. It doesn't cost the giver anything and it can really have a positive impact on the receiving party.

Most recently I received a comment from someone asking to buy some of my art and I felt incredibly flattered.

I migrated a small project few hours ago and their docs covered most of what I needed. The linked post here has a link to https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/migrate-to-9.0.0, but earlier today I used only this page: https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/migration-guide
Exactly. Did you expect a headline with that length?
Sure, it may not be very competitive, but given the context which is the performance and efficiency for x86 and previous Qualcomm CPUs, this would be a big leap. Even if it cannot match M-series Pro chips for a while, it could change the landscape quite a bit, because you know what, most people don't actually need or care about Pro level performance.
The statistic information from such an effort would be really useful and very depressing.
I’ve significantly reduced my commenting recently because I realized that I’ve been using the internet to hone my discussion/argumentation skills since I got on the web in 1996

At this point there’s too much noise on the internet for good long term, long form discussion like we had on irc and forums and frankly I’m not sure where that lives today.

Well. No God that you agree with maybe.
Why so many screen repairs?
"Performance" is a marketing term and is meaningless without details. "Faster" means nothing without context.

We need to know the exact workload, the peak performance numbers, the sustained performance numbers, the heat output, etc, etc. People who gloss over these details, probably aren't interested in choosing the right product for the application, but just selecting a "Good" product.

Rust or not, 16kb is entirely satisfactory. I mean, it fits in a Commodore 64's memory!
And it sucked.
There is such a database: it's the filesystem. The system package manager puts executables into /usr/bin and friends. Homebrew on Macs defaults to /usr/local/bin.

> Don't you think that would be great?

No. It's still not clear to me what this layer you're proposing would solve, relative to the current state. Other than that now every program would have to think about this new abstraction.

As somebody pointed out in a parallel comment, you can approximate exactly what you're trying to pitch without writing any C: just set "export PATH=~/.linpath", and then write some helpers to manage the contents of that directory. I think if you tried to build a system like this you'd start to realize that you're reinventing what PATH already enables, with a lot more custom glue.
Yea, new tool calling now in public beta is way better. And avoids all of that XML they had before.
It's about more than the speed of the chips, Apple is simply more capable and willing to commit harder to transitioning to ARM native than Microsoft is.

Also as bad as MacOS is, Windows has aggressively been trashing their OS with adware to the extent that I have to assume Microsoft has lost confidence in the future of Windows and is attempting to cash in - and why would I invest my time into a platform the developer doesn't believe in?

Also compared to say 10 years ago, the amount of software which I need Windows for has absolutely plummeted.

Are in fact the things I think have become worse from the abstractions.

Well, the recent abstractions. I like the ones that were widespread until about 2018 or so.
I'm not really seeing the argument, right now they're also pushing unnecessary work onto everyone who uses `.eslintr.js` which already is a js config file. Yes, it is a small amount of work to fix, but it still means you have to go and read the changes and figure out what the breaking changes are to begin with.

I do believe there are unique challenges to being a woman in tech, but the odds seem in favor of women doing well both back in the 70's and today with todays stats having roughly 20% of CS grads being female while some 23% of SWEs are female. That suggests there are more women in software jobs than women who have been pursing that career academically. What stats do you see that suggest the odds are against women in tech? I frequently recommend tech as a good field for young girls, but I'll probably not do that anymore if the odds are truly against them.
What if we go further out on the carbon limb since this or a similar technology allows us to further delay implementing carbon reductions and then, for some reason, our civilization fails and we can no longer continue to dope the atmosphere to protect us from the now even more serious consequences of our emissions? This approach strikes me as madness; like the behavior of a junkie who takes uppers to wake up in the morning because they've become addicted to downers to get to sleep.
To me, anything that immediately begins by suggesting a current situation is E=MC2 revolutionary is inherently suspect, although then comparing it to a speculative gold-rush gains some points back...
