I would like to refine my answer regarding the rapidly growing log. If we assume that we have a real-time application, then every keystroke or pointer action can indeed create a change entry.

But this storage format is designed for "long term" and "slow" operations. Where "slow" means in the time lapse of a second instead of a milisecond. This allows us to combine multiple changes into a single log entry.

CRDT implementations like Yjs are good at concentrating such changes into smaller chunks of data. For example, writing text in a rich text editor like Prosemirror is then reduced to something like a string and a position.

But the UI can also be lazy and throttle things. A string input field can only fire changes when the field is left or not typed for a second or so.

These steps will significantly reduce the size of the log. They did in my implementations.

But this is not the end of realtime for such applications. These applications could still pass changes directly over P2P, as long as the log remains consistent, so that the resulting document will always eventually consistent.
Reader mode is much much more than just "turn off other people's pointers".

I ditched at Windows 10, and installed Fedora and KDE. Never had a single problem, and that was onto really old hardware, and then onto a brand new AMD mobo. Admittedly, I didn't go the nvidia route for graphics cards.

Works perfectly for me. Gaming, development especially, and so on.

Interestingly, my company is considering ditching Windows altogether since we're on 10, and know what 11 is like, and going full Linux desktops since that's all we develop on anyway.

It's not bundling itself that's the issue. The use of one market to encroach on another is what's considered unfair competition. The fact that a competitor exists that just does one part of it is what makes the case that the two markets are separate.

> it's not really static if you depend on glibc

Most operating systems don’t provide guarantees about ABI stability between versions, instead mandating that libc (or other user space APIs) are the intended interface to syscalls.

Because if this, you can often come across statically compiled executables will still depend on glibc while inlining stuff like libpng.

> if you depend on glibc... things can still break, e.g. when compiled on too new glibc it fails to run on older versions.

That’s the point I was making ;)

"Disrupt networks" how? It’s very hard to break the internet - it’s designed to be extremely resilient to such catastrophes. The odds of a country suffering from a complete internet blackout for more than a few hours without being induced are incredibly slim, and drop further when the country doesn’t have a single point of failure but instead a huge range of connections geographically distributed.

I'd love to see standard JSON output across these tools. I just don't see a realistic way to get that to happen in my lifetime.

Maybe a unified parsing layer is more realistic, like an open source command output to JSON framework that would automatically identify the command variant you're running based on its version and your shell settings, parse the output for you, and format it in a standard JSON schema? Even that would be a huge undertaking though.

There are a lot, LOT of command variants out there. It's one thing to tweak the output to make it parseable for your one-off script on your specific machine. Not so easy to make it reusable across the entire *nix world.

First of all, nobody "read[s] through Knuth." [0] (I couldn't find the reference, but I recall a story about Bill Gates telling Knuth he had "read his books," to which Knuth replied that he believed Gates was lying.)

Second, the way the "algorithmic portion of the technical interview" is generally constituted currently is beyond flawed. Depending on your perspective, you can either pass it by memorizing 5 or 6 algorithms and re-using them over and over; or, it's a completely unrealistic test of anyone's ability to think about and work with algorithms and data, because there is no such thing in the real world as a 45 minute deadline. Of course, you can certainly argue that it's not intended to be a test of one's ability to work with algorithms and data, but, rather, an IQ test of sorts. But, then, we have companies that are literally giving candidates IQ tests now, so, why not just drop the pretense?

So the legal line is that once a company is successful in bundling and selling products the bundle is locked and can never be added to? That seems unreasonable to me, and I generally am pretty hard on monopolistic issues.

Depends on who the target customer is. As an enterprise I'd love to pay for a local application wherever possible. Oracle and MS still make billions on what are effectively local database applications.

Linux tends to cause strange issues if you get unlucky.

Years upon years ago I gave someone a PC with Ubuntu installed. A week later he just asked how do I install League of Legends. The simple answer is install Windows.

What? I've written a bunch of Elm doing JSON parsing and this just isn't true at all. Writing the decoders isn't hard and gives you nice typed and consistent data formats, which is extremely useful.

If anything, since using Elm I trend towards using things like io-ts or zod to replicate it when I'm working with TypeScript because it is so much better to get that consistency and validation.

If I dig in to the Saudi Arabia section of wikipedia I get to "Diplomats claim that Saudi Arabian donors are the main funders of non-governmental armed groups like Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)". That is a quintessential staunch US ally. It probably is acceptable to throw them under a bus, metaphorically speaking and it is more useful than mere idle curiosity be useful to have that sort of information in the public discourse. The spending and liberty-backsliding done in the name of terrorism has been material to date.

It might help you to follow the perspective if you consider it is plausible that the US's current diplomatic strategy is ineffective and needs pressure to reform. Especially after discounting the heft of their domestic economy. From what I've seen of the game theory, generally speaking best policy is to be scrupulously open and honest with very short bursts of sudden backstabbing when it makes overwhelming sense. The is, happily, a strategy that is highly compatible with radically transparent democracy.

There isn't a way to run this sort of institution without transparency. The incentives don't tend to work out.

I don't think discretizing the results solves the problem, we don't know whether the distribution is accurate without apriori knowledge. See my real GTP4 output about Paris. Are the words "city of light" "center of culture" and "capital of France" confabulations? Without apriori knowledge is it more or less confabulatory than "city of roses", "site of religious significance", "capital of Korea"? If it simply output "Capital of Rome" 3 times, would that indicate its probably not a confabulation? You can discretize the concepts but that only serves to reduce the granularity of comparisons, and does solve the underlying problem I originally described.

Titan is actually high on my list of places that could harbor life.

I’m not talking about subsurface water though that’s possible. I mean chemically alien life.

The reason I suspect this is a phenomenon understood in theory of complexity and evolutionary informatics circles called the “edge of chaos.” Oversimplifying a bit you get universal computation in the vicinity of a phase boundary.

Titan is loaded with phase boundaries: solid, liquid, gas, dynamic changes between them, rain, dissolving and crystallizing solids, etc. The solvent is just light hydrocarbons not water.

Life on Titan would be slow and low metabolism compared to us (probably). We should be aware of this likely difference when looking. What looks like minerals, rocks, weird films of chemicals, etc may be alive. We should look for structure, metabolism, isomer preferences, etc.

Of course life on Titan is convinced there could never be life here. The third planet is a literal hell where it rains molten dihydrogen monoxide in an atmosphere of corrosive oxygen. Any life there would vaporize and oxidize instantly.

Rumors of a strange disc shaped object being recovered with material and isotope ratios pointing to the third planet are entirely unfounded, as are rumors of amateur radio enthusiasts picking up signals from there.
