You're not wrong but I do feel a bit guilty every time I give less than 5 stars. The rating system is so bad that you can't give any small feedback without serious negative financial consequences for the drivers.

Basically anything negative is rolled up into one signal no matter what the safety aspect is.

Then that's a problem in itself: in an indentation based language where more indentation == more deeply nested, allowing multiple levels of indentation to correspond to the same level of nesting is really confusing.

Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (published 1687) contains a mathematical (geometric actually) proof that the gravitational attraction between the Earth an a man standing on the surface of the Earth is the same as it would be if all of the mass of the Earth were at its center. There's another proof that if the man is standing at the bottom of a one-mile hole, and the Earth is assumed to be a perfect sphere, then the attraction is the same as if the Earth's radius were one mile less than it actually is (i.e., the attraction between the man and the shell of mass higher in altitude than the man is exactly zero because the attraction from the various points in the one-mile-thick shell exactly cancel out).

That is that kind of thing I mean: proofs and calculations, not "why wouldn't it?"

I've been a developer for twenty four years. I've seen a lot of people have strong opinions about whether to merge or rebase, to squash or not to squash. I haven't seen one single time where it made a difference whether something was merged or squashed, as I've never seen anyone look at commit messages in depth, versus tickets or PRs or bisecting.
To put a finer point on it, the archive is there to be an archive -- there is a lot to be done there. The EFF is there to fight battles.
The trio Amiga, ST and Macintosh all had music software, DTP and graphics, but I think they ruled one craft each:

The ST became the king of MIDI.

The Amiga was the queen of gfx and video.

Machintosh created and ruled the DTP revolution.

Still, they had so much in common. If the three companies had made one OS and all standardized on the Amiga chipset, they could have won over the IBM PC.

Of course, back then, they didn't know how the PC would crush them all, at that time the three thought they were each others biggest competitors.
No, that describes rebasing and preserving the intermediate commits. Of course, if you squash into one commit at merge time, this won't happen.

IMHO the world has missed the real thing Chuck Moore invented, that being an alternative CPU architecture. The use of two stacks, one for data and one for sub-routine linkage had not been seen to my knowledge, before Moore.

Forth is not a language. It's an extensible instruction set. You like RISC.
Are 31 instructions "RISCy" enough? :-)

I have wondered what Chuck's CPU designs could have become if they had been given more financial and intellectual support at the level that we see for the dominant machines in the world.

Chuck's first CPU NOVIX 2000, performed multiple instructions per clock without pipelining, Interrupt handling in 2 clocks, sub-routine calls in 1 clock and return was 0 clocks on many instructions. That was done with a ridiculously small number of gates.

In later years Chuck realized that a dogmatic use of only the data stack was not ideal and he added an a address register and a loop counter register to make the machines faster.

It would be cool to see someone carry these concepts forward to see what's possible.
I am, apparently, someone well on the linguistic side of the spectrum, yet I too was somewhat taken aback by this statement from the abstract: "Here we bring recent evidence from neuroscience and allied disciplines to argue that in modern humans, language is a tool for communication, contrary to a prominent view that we use language for thinking" [my emphasis].

My own thinking on this has been to consider the origins of language. In a community of hominins on the verge of developing a language, would they not need, as a prerequisite, some non-linguistic ability to consciously grasp that at least some of the vocalizations of their peers represented feelings that they recognized in themselves? But that, by itself, would not be enough for them to develop a language; in addition, I feel, it would take both a desire to communicate their thoughts and feelings to others (motivated in part, I would guess, by recognizing that it would be useful to do so) and the recognition that this might be accomplished through artificial sounds and/or gestures with arbitrarily-allocated yet specific meanings. I feel that there's a bootstrap problem in regarding language as primarily a means of thinking that was found to be useful in communicating.

Like you (and, apparently, the survey compilers) I am surprised to learn that a sizable minority of people report frequently visualizing words as text. On reflection, however, that sounds somewhat like a form of synesthesia, and I occasionally get enough of a hint of that to put it just barely in range of my personal experience - but then, I don't regard people whose experiences differ markedly from mine as wierdos.

> most of the automation I've witnessed in my lifetime led with direct cost savings

Direct cost savings to the business or to the customer?

Waymo has been operating at an incredible loss for a very long time. They now have a product that people are willing to pay for and, in fact, find to be more comfortable—from OP's description it's basically a luxury Uber. Further, they expect to not be the only autonomous taxi system forever, competitors will eventually catch up.

Given that, I think it's only rational for them to operate at very high margins for as long as they can before competition drives the prices down. They probably won't come anywhere close to recouping the loss in that interval, but they'll get a head start on it.
CI will usually only run the latest commit. Even if commit a, b, and c were all tested, the resulting commits a', b', and c' after rebase would usually only have the last one tested.

I don't think it is the software that is the blocker for people doing this. It's not like it was easy in the old days - if anything it is easier today to create a personal-if-bland site on one of the many free WYSIWYG editors that use templates (I know the article mentions this) yet they don't. And let's face it search engines were utter trash until early-google arrived so it's not like you could count on your site being easily found (...and some may argue the current utility of search engines - or lack of! - puts us back where we were pre-google era anyway...)

I think there are some other reasons - I don't know which one(s) (if any) are most true or not:

- maybe people still are doing it but we just don't see it now the net is so much larger? Look at Gemini protocol et al - people are doing things but not in a necessarily eye-catching way

- maybe video is the kids' new HTML? There is some weird/creative stuff on tiktok etc al. Even getting photos let alone 4k video into a computer was hard in the early/mid 90s.

- it just went out of fashion

- the novelty wore off

- people see the internet as a utility these days, and take it for granted

- everyone is spending all their time trying to bootstrap a Like-OpenAi-But-For-Ride-Hailing start-up instead

Tl;dr - motivated individuals will build something if they want to, but I think the motivation has gone. I don't think it is because they feel constrained by templates

1) I'll agree that WSL2 is excellent, but the native "unix" environment of macos has meant that I haven't had very many issues doing work that ultimately runs on linux natively from a mac.

2) This makes no sense to me. I've run docker on my mac with zero issues, except that the move to apple silicon has caused some disruption for cases where I build and push images locally (99% is done via CI/CD, but there are always exceptions) and I have to specify linux/amd64, which with some tooling is actually quite painful.

3) Yeah, powertools is nice.

4) This is absolutely true. The most recent macos announcement does add some better native window management, but all I really want is to be able to plug in my external monitors and have macos not switch them around half the time. It's frustrating as this used to work until around 2012 or so, and then just broke and was never fixed.

5) I've run into windows updates reverting settings or replacing defaults that point to third parties. To be fair, macos has sometimes done this, too. In particular it used to re-enable siri after every OS point release.

6) The ads are there and (with effort) can be removed. But it's the principle. Some product manager thought that this is a good idea - the good idea being something that's good for microsoft and not the user. This way of thinking can and does lead to rot by a thousand cuts. What's next enabling location tracking for the advertisers, thus making my laptops battery slightly worse? - google did this with android. This way of thinking has been killing google.

7) Most of this is repeating point 4 which I agree with, but its filesystem is just a posix filesystem. Mind you the finder has it's strengths and weaknesses - it took awhile to get used to, but it's never really gotten in my way. Calling macos third class for linux development is just plain incorrect. One of the main reasons MacOS took off when it did is because so many developers moved to it because they could use the same "unix/linux" tools more natively than windows, but didn't have to deal with linux on the desktop. Web developers in particular could easily run apache/php/etc as well as various design tools from Adobe or whoever. I've not seen too many complaints with most languages on it, but I could see more niche ones like Haskell being painful.

> I could provide other reasons but essentially it is way better for me and my use case than alternatives.

This is what ultimately matters. :-)

> Unless I'm using a laptop, there I prefer MacOS for hardware.

Hilariously for me, the one thing that's more painful than anything else when using windows is the poor quality of the bloody trackpads, even on more expensive/premium hardware (I haven't bought a windows laptop since before covid, so maybe this is better now?). Though a close second is having to deal with various pop-ups (from both windows and other software/utilities) that seem to vie for my attention.
get decent grades, apply as an international student to Uni's on the undergrad or grad level, secure loans, graduate.

once graduated, most places offer rubber stamp visas to keep international grads; use that, get a job locally, and then hang out until you qualify for residency / green card.

not esp. difficult, conceptually speaking. the devil is in the details, but its impossible to write a guide for every country and Uni. like Ontario vs. Alberta will be different, vs. California, vs. the UK, etc. etc.

Absolutely.

Other things the ST was better at:

• single-floppy operation (because the OS was in ROM)

• being useful for productivity with only 1/2MB RAM (ROM again)

• being more affordable until a price war that killed both companies

Me, I owned an Acorn Archimedes. But I used them all.

A single-floppy Mac or Amiga was a massive PITA to use. More RAM helped but didn't cure it. Until adding a hard disk didn't triple the price (end of the 1980s, early 1990s) you needed dual floppies for Mac or Amiga. ST was... OK with one.

"as safe as required by law." seems like a low bar.

Why not aim for "tastes great and is actually safe and nutritious to eat", instead of just "meets the minimum requirements to be able to legally serve it"?
I'd also add a footnote that Amiga stability was awful, and the Mac not much better.

VirtualProtect might be unhooked in userspace by the payload, and the payload might only be decrypted for a short moment (to run a task, do a beacon cycle) so you’d have to be quick capturing its unobfuscated form.

Not sure if you can actually hook/intercept VirtualProtect on the kernel side, probably not due to the performance and safety implications, but there are ETW feeds that emit telemetry for the call now (https://undev.ninja/introduction-to-threat-intelligence-etw/)
I personally find it hard to believe that people would really experience things so differently. Seems simpler to attribute it to differences in how people describe their internal representations in words.

Even for myself it's a little bit unclear and changing how I'm really representing things. One day I might say oh I don't see anything, it's all just concepts (oh no it's aphantasia). On another it would be like ok maybe if I focus these concepts can have some form to them, so yeah I'm actually totally seeing things (wow he has mental imagery).

So if you made 100 clones of me take a questionnaire, you might see 50% reporting aphantasia and 50% saying they have mental images, even though they're actually the same.
“Business people struggle to understand fanaticism. In commercial life, all actors are negotiable, even if their price is high. You might pass decades in the private sector without encountering someone who has total commitment to an abstract doctrine (socialism), to an individual (Trump) or to a cause (Russian amour propre). This blind spot for zeal is why corporations were such sitting ducks for ‘woke’. And why oligarchs a generation ago thought Vladimir Putin was their pliable instrument.

…

Dissent is core to financial success. Why buy an asset unless you think the market has underpriced it? Why set up a business unless you think the world is wrong not to have offered that product or service already? Opening the humblest corner bistro is, in essence, a statement that everyone who hasn’t opened one there has missed a trick. Imagine how much stronger that contrarian impulse must be in a hedge fund seeking above-market returns.

All power to this attitude. The world would be less prosperous without it. But it doesn’t transfer well to public life. In politics, if you support a radical proposition and turn out to have misjudged it, the consequence might be, oh I don’t know, societal ruin. (Or deaths in the Capitol.) There is no equivalent of limited liability. There is no equivalent of the circuit breakers that the state puts in place to contain bad business bets. The state itself is on the line.”
That would be the least safe option due to network latencies involved.
The USA cuts corners on labor standards for more than a century, but Europeans are Ok with that. The same logic applies, Europeans get a lot of their products and services from a country that has little to no safety nets for their workers, so by buying from USA, Europeans are funding their own demise.

And unlike the ST or Mac or Amiga, its OS is still around, still FOSS, still actively maintained, and runs on modern bare-metal hardware, without emulation.

I used to manage a CD-rom shop in the mid 90s. We sold new titles and bought back software from customers to sell again as second hand. It was quite popular at the time. Not to mention I had access to a 486dx computer, later with voodoo, so that when the first tomb raider came out I was in heaven. What I miss most is that moment of anticipation between putting in the disk and starting that install dance, awe config, RAM setup etc...

this is all overly dramatic. a new vehicle has a few non-critical leaks in the pressure system for its engines and a handful of engines that were being finicky.
