I understand it can be difficult to have someone point out that you're not approaching a situation in good faith, but that's not exactly "relentless insults".

It can be difficult to handle the intimation that maybe there is the mirror image of the "brainless apple sheeple" too. Haters exist - people who are not able to approach a situation fairly and are just relentlessly negative because they hate X thing too. Negative parasocial attachment is just as much of a thing as a positive one.

And when you get to the point of "literally making the tools available is bad because the pelican cases are too heavy" you have crossed that rubicon. I am being very very polite here, but you are not being rational, and you are kinda having an emotional spasm over someone disagreeing with you on the internet.

Yes, if you want OEM parts and you rent OEM tooling it's probably going to come close to OEM cost. That isn't discriminatory, if the prices are fair+reasonable, and objectively they pretty much are. $49 to rent the tools, and have them shipped both ways, etc, is not an unreasonable ask.

Not having a viable business model for your startup doesn't mean the world is wrong. It means you don't have a viable business idea. And yeah, if you are renting the tools as a one-off, and counting your personal time as having some value (or labor cost in a business), then you probably are not going to get costs that are economical with a large-scale operator with a chain operation and an assembly-line repair shop with repair people who do nothing but repair that one brand. That's not Apple's fault.

What we ultimately come down to with your argument is "apple is killing right-to-repair by being too good at repair and providing too cheap repairs such that indie shops can no longer make a margin" and I'm not sure that's actionable in a social sense of preventing e-waste. People getting their hardware repaired cheaply is good. Long parts lifetimes are good. Etc.

Being able to swap in shitty amazon knockoff parts is a whole separate discussion, of course. And afaik that is going to be forced by the EU anyway, consequences be damned. So what are you complaining about here?
> This is deceptive by using percentages...

It's not. Relatively speaking, the rich do pay less % of their share of income in taxes, despite them obviously being way more able to pay taxes than the lower castes.

Warren Buffett infamously paid (and likely still pays) less of his income than his own secretary. This is beyond ridiculous.

And that doesn't even take into account the obscene gains in wealth that aren't taxed at all (partially, because taxing unrealized gains is hard). The rich just evade that tax (or practically, they shift the payment date towards infinity) by taking ultra low-interest loans on their stock and pay the interest from dividends.

> In Git these mistakes are more easily avoided as you are deliberate about what you commit and what stays local.

And yet GitHub has built an entire security feature - Secret Scanning - because developers do not easily avoid checking in secrets.

We have to face the fact that Git not being able to delete versions easily is a bug, not a feature, and that we do indeed sometimes need to delete versions from a repo. And so we've built a set of workarounds for Git to prevent pushes from succeeding when secrets have already been committed locally. It's not ideal.

Grace will enable a combination of hoster-level Secret Scanning with a native ability to delete a version that you don't want. Imagine that you accidentally save a secret, it ends up in your personal branch as a Save reference, Secret Scanning catches it and prompts you about it: "A secret was detected. Should I delete that version for you?"

No rewriting, no "hey Copilot how do I fix my repo after I committed a secret?", just one click and it's gone.

Its because it's false and misleading. What is "more", the wealthy are paying more in terms of dollar amounts. We have very high marginal tax rates in America, and we have very rich people paying a lot of taxes.

In percentage terms the middle class is overtaxed the most of course. But percentage terms are an extremely misleading way to look at this.

Being middle class I'm more angry that the bottom 50% on net pay no income taxes and I'm a net payer into their lifestyle.

I think the biggest issue with storing large "blobs" in the DB is that you often want a different backup strategy. The DB is a mutating file so you will want to do some form of incremental backup but blobs are often unchanging. So it is often easier to pub blobs in a different file (possibly content-addressed) and avoid scanning through them checking for changes on every backup run.

Of course depending on how you do backups this may be a non-issue (ex: filesystem snapshots with native delta snapshot transfer)

It maybe also be easier if you want to launch a photo viewer for example. You can just point it at the regular file rather than extracting a temporary file from the database, launching the viewer and making sure to clean up the file when the viewer is done.

The biggest benefit is that you get consistency for free. However this is often fairly easy to manage if you have a dedicated table for external blobs and common code to read and write them.

Well, yeah, that makes sense. The top 1% (3.3m people) hold over 30% of all wealth in America. The bottom 50% (over 150m people) only hold 2.5% of the wealth in America.

Also, how does the top 10% pay 80% of taxes but the top 1% pay 50%? I highly doubt they're paying 130% in taxes collectively...
There are always exceptions to the norm
Infant and child mortality was very high. Empirically the high birth rate did not always lead to overpopulation - overpopulation waxed and waned despite the persistently high birth rate.

The sci-fi dystopias about overpopulation never really come up with a mechanism by which the birth rate remains high despite low infant and child mortality and low economic need for human labor. It always seems to boil down to "people are controlled by irrational instincts".

Maybe Debian maintainers consider it their role to do this, but that's absolutely not true in other distributions (e.g., one reason I use Arch is to avoid such tinkering). Down this road lies problems with incompatibilities and new bugs that are distro-specific.

> It’s actually really hard as a non-engineer to file useful bug tickets for engineers... So the engineer would be frustrated, I would be frustrated

While I have been in this scenario before, saying something along the lines of, "If I don't get 100% bug reports, I can't do 100% bug fixes," 9 years of experience and maturity later: no, I wouldn't use this. It wouldn't engender me more respect, power or efficacy in the organization if I "just" "educated" PMs on how to file bugs, or if I "just" used some tool for them.

I should have just not asked non-engineers to ticket bugs or do QA. If that is happening, you are already failing in terms of leadership and organization. Most products fail, so that's not saying much, and they rarely fail due to bugs, which is also not saying much. That said, the best technical solution is clearly comprehensive tracing, and the best cultural solution is that engineers responsible for an end user experience must manually QA all paths.

>Begging the question.

Explain? Countries invoking "American Imperialism" isn't exactly an unheard of concept. The point isn't whether "American Imperialism" or "pollution" is objectively true, it's whether other countries would invoke those reasons to set up retaliatory tariffs.

>While "American Imperialism" is an intangible concept, pollution very much is not

How about something more concrete like "EU/NATO enlargement", "Chinese spying", or "tech giants (who are mostly American) spreading misinformation"?

>With less adversarial framing, you could think of it as finding common ground for an intermingled future.

That's a nice thing to hope for, but isn't the world we live in. Countries who have the tariffs applied to them aren't going to interpret them as "common ground for an intermingled future", they're going to think it's the opening shot of a trade war.

When a DVCS is successful, there are many server software. For git, there is the official git daemon and its wrappers (gitolite...), but also many forges, some of them having many local instances (Giltab, Gitea...). Grace should not depend on an optional (and error prone) feature of the server.

> Git not being able to delete versions

I don't understand. There is no concept of "version" in Git. You can delete commits, references and objects. For instance, you can delete/update a commit in your local branch. The old commit is still reachable, but you can run the garbage collector to delete it. You can also force a push that delete commits on a distant repository.

As far as I know, the problem with deleting published secrets on public forges is that as soon as anything is published bots will copy it. And some of these bots are ill intentioned.
Oh! Or when they do, it involves a 35 acre lake.

I'm really torn. A while ago I made the decision to abandon linux and use a BSD as my daily OS. In almost every way I prefer FreeBSD over OpenBSD, except when it comes to the source code. The clarity of OpenBSD source seems unmatched, and for me that's really important as I have picked up interest in contributing to the kernel of the BSD I choose. Also in some naive way it gives me a warm feeling knowing that the code of my operating system is in tip top shape.
I imagine the additional costs of cleaning/replacing tubing when contaminants accumulate from less-than-potable water outweigh the benefits (from the datacenter's perspective).
> You also just described musical instruments.

Some. My experience has been that the diversity of instruments dwarfs that of electronics, with the possible exception of early Nokia phones. I bet this is largely driven by product lifecycle, as my saxophones are each over 10 years old and have been refurbished more than once. High-end professional instruments are often one-of-a-kind.

> The rich history of glassmaking is directly relevant to the iPad and provides some of its most valuable features.

I agree, but again I think it's a problem of intent. Glassmaking was improved to make decorations, then storage vessels, then optics, then cookware and labware, then electronics. Meanwhile people have been making bone flutes and leather drums for longer than they've been able to write about it.

You could put the solar panels between the sun and Earth so they only capture photon that would have otherwise hit Earth, if that really matters. This would even be nice because if we wanted to cool the planet down we could just redirect some rays.

But I think using an appreciable amount of the power provided to Earth by the sun is still sci-fi stuff anyway, so we probably can’t make an appreciable dent either way.
