But the amount of work you're able to do is. And companies need to make money, they're not s charity. I took a 20% paycut to work only 4 days a week. And I think that is fair, because my output definitely did decrease by 20%. This might not be true for everyone, but all of the "working more efficiently" thing doesn't really help you if you were already working pretty efficiently 5 days a week.
Love it. I suspect there are a fair few such vans parked around London by both sides of the law enforcement and the spying crowds.

Thank you, it is great to have the opinion of someone actually practicing this. I was indeed wondering if regular lectio of a text would lead almost automatically to memorizing it, but it seems not to be the case.

Still, I could imagine that the new testament is more easily memorized by getting "involved" in the story. I have this impression mostly by comparing with the pali canon (the oldest set of sacred buddhist scripture): buddhist pali texts (with a few exceptions, such as the dhammapada) are very technical and contain very little in terms of "story", and their structure contains much more repetition and structured lists than the bible. So much so that all written versions I know of abridge the repetitions, as it would otherwise be extremely boring to read. That biblical texts (or more poetic pali texts) did not have to resort to this makes me think that the meaning and emotional involvement with the text indeed helps in memorizing it.
You're right, unless you use the new S3 "Directory buckets" [1], which make the entire thing even more confusing!

In my experience, browsers limit speeds in a way that's kind of nice and stable. You tell them to stick to 100kbps and they'll have 100kbps. Packet loss, jitter, it's all a single number, and rather stable. It's like a 250kbps fiber optic connection that just happens to be very long.

In my experience, real life slow internet isn't like that. Packet loss numbers jump around, jitter switches second by second, speeds vary wildly and packets arrive out of order more than in order. Plus, with sattelites, the local router sends fake TCP acknowledgements to hide the slow data transfer, so the browser thinks it's connected while the traffic is still half a second away.

There are software tools to limit connectivity in a more realistic way, often using VMs, but they're not used as often as the nice browser speed limiter.
KDE 4 was a disaster for pretty much everyone. I _loved_ KDE 3. It was consistent, accessible enough for newbies, infinitely configurable for power users. The desktop of freedom in all that meant.

Then KDE 4 happened.

I never used KDE again as my daily driver until Plasma 6. 16 long years mourning what I lost. Sure XFCE and Gnome were totally ok but they lacked something.

What is sad, I think, is that during those times, KDE lost a lot of its artistic community who back in the days were releasing hundreds of themes every months. Most were awful but some were gems and anyway the configuration options always allowed you to transform KDE into your thing.

It’s slowly coming back but it’s not there yet and it’s not as easy as yesterday.

The point is not the productivity, the point is giving something to workers in exchange NOT pretending WFH, for me the answer is NO. In 2024 all jobs done at a desk should be REMOTE, I do not care about how many days per weeks or hours per day, I do REJECT to be geographically bound just to keep up the keynesian circus of digging a hole today, fill it tomorrow and dig again that is the modern city.

In the past we have had paper archives, expensive office machines to handle paper and so we are bound to the office, this is not true anymore and there is NO REASONS behind the desire of human slavery to keep up the dense city model, needed only by surveillance capitalism and big real estate businesses, practically incompatible with the Green New Deal.

4-day work week, benefits and so on are this: gift in exchange to remain bound to the office. Not something else.
GCJ died the day Sun started the open source project for Java, and most devs left the project around 2009.

The only major use case I am aware of was Red-Hat shipping Eclipse AOT compiled.

There have been several AOT compilers for Java since the 2000's, but they were mostly ignored by the community due to the high prices, or special use cases like embedded development. Of those commercial offerings, PTC and Aicas are the surviving ones.

GraalVM is the evolution of MaximeVM, a Sun Research Labs project of selfhosting the whole Java implementation, which Oracle despite all the usual criticism, decided to support and turn into a product.

The other free beer AOT compiler is OpenJ9, which was originally developed by IBM, also for embedded development originally.

Then there is ART, which isn't really a JVM proper, but also does AOT.
Agreed. I think case sensitivity in Unix filesystems is actually a pretty poor design decision. It prioritizes what is convenient for the computer (easy to compare file paths) over what makes sense for the user (treating file paths the same way human intuition does).

I've been thinking about how far we've come with large language models (LLMs) and the challenge of making them almost perfect. It feels a lot like trying to get a spaceship to travel at the speed of light.

We’ve made impressive progress, getting these models to be quite accurate. But pushing from 90% to 99.9999999% accuracy? That takes an insane amount of data and computing power. It's like needing exponentially more energy as you get closer to light speed.

And just like we can’t actually reach the speed of light, there might be a practical limit to how accurate LLMs can get. Language is incredibly complex and full of ambiguities. The closer we aim for perfection, the harder it becomes. Each tiny improvement requires significantly more resources, and the gains become marginal.

To get LLMs to near-perfect accuracy, we'd need an infinite amount of data and computing power, which isn't feasible. So while LLMs are amazing and have come a long way, getting them to be nearly perfect is probably impossible—like reaching the speed of light.

Regardless I hope to appreciate the progress we've made but also be realistic about the challenges ahead. What do you think? Is this a fair analogy?
4 days a week is great. I’ve dropped down to 4 days work (4x8hours paid), and look after my son one day a week. My wife has switched to doing compounded hours on 4 days (4x10hrs paid) and looks after our son on another day.

We both get close to an extra 2 months a year with our son, which is phenomenal.

One thing I wouldn’t recommend is having a Wednesday off - it’s what I’ve had to do, and I find it a big interruption to my week & flow, a Monday or Friday would be better.
> The entire point of this is that productivity does not go down in a 4 day workweek

Just an anecdote, but: my productivity definitely took a huge hit when I reduced my hours to 4days/week. All of the "working harder/more efficiently/more focused" doesn't help if you already worked hard/efficiently/focused. If you have a job with a lot of slack/downtime/waiting time... Sure. But sometimes, working 20% less means that 20% less work gets done.
Plenty of us also know UNIX, and rather not use it more than what is needed to the extent of job requirements.

Yes. And don’t forget that Trump is leading significantly among infrequent voters: https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/29/politics/turnout-2024-electio... (“Biden leads Trump by 4 percentage points among people who voted in both 2020 and 2022. But among those who voted in 2020 but not 2022, Trump led Biden by 12 percentage points”). Biden needed this to be a sleepy low turnout election, and instead this has dumped rocket fuel on Trump’s campaign. I think this will also galvanize a lot of Romney-Biden folks, like my wife. She held her nose and voted Biden “because of norms” and that mental block on voting for Trump has melted away.

Even MSNBC legal analysts are calling the case against Trump “some grotesque legal version of Frankenstein’s monster” that “most prosecutors probably wouldn’t have brought at all.”

When Windows Vista was introduced with DirectX 10 being Vista only and not down ported, with a new driver model, there was this rage that everyone would be going into Linux Desktop.

This keeps repeating every time a new Windows version comes out.

Instead, people pick Apple and Google devices, and even if ChromeOS and Android have a Linux kernel underneath, that is pretty much irrelevant for the ecosystem of JavaScript, Java, Kotlin and C++ applications.

Or they just stay on Windows no matter what.

Moved to Apache 2.0 from the modified Apache 2.0 and removed the point of conflicts.
Check the discussion for more details - https://github.com/orgs/swiftwave-org/discussions/680

The license was initially written after checking various existing solutions like this (you can check caprover's license)

We are changing it because,

- I just came to know, Apache doesn't allow the modification in the license. Although there are many popular projects which is using that. So, I thought initially, It may be allowed.

- I don't want to move to GPL/AGPL for a small restriction which is only on the paid features of Swiftwave (which even doesn't exist, I don't know if someday any paid features will come or not).

- If there will be any paid feature in future, that can be in a different variant than the open source one. (Same way like docker or HAProxy) So we can keep Swiftwave as Open Source in Apache 2.0 and keep all the features available for free.

Japan's initiative is focused on "green open access" which is different from pay-to-publish. I recommend the section titled "Green OA" in the submitted article. Relevant quote:

"Japan’s move to greater access to its research is focusing on 'green OA' — in which authors make the author-accepted, but unfinalized, versions of papers available in the digital repositories, says Seiichi.

Seiichi says that gold OA — in which the final copyedited and polished version of a paper is made freely available on the journal site — is not feasible on a wide scale. That’s because the cost to make every paper free to read would be too high for universities."

If such an ordinance exists to hide 'unsightly' cars | boats behind a fence then it's possible that when it was drafted and passed in (say) 1960 (?) no one thought to specify a tight restriction on the paint job on any fence ...

> "Steam has fundamental problems beyond engine startup time that are just not solvable. Gas engines can quickly switch from low-power to high-power..."

A modern steam-powered vehicle could be based on a steam turbine creating electric power, with a battery and electric traction motor (effectively, a series hybrid). This is how many modern power plants work (coal, gas, nuclear) and would be much more efficient than classic steam engines, by targeting an optimal, constant RPM and torque and providing regenerative braking. It would have plenty of peak power and responsiveness, exceeding gas vehicles and similar to a fully electric vehicle.

But even with the high level of efficiency and performance that this configuration would allow, it's likely a non-starter for environmental reasons, unless you can use a much cleaner fuel than coal?
