The primary mistaken assumption you've made (though some TUI users also suffer this) is that the TUI is the integration point (the IDE) and that is not the case. Text editors, like Neovim, are are only the editor part or component of the IDE, your terminal shell environment. The shell has had decades to refine its place as the integration point for development. It works very well and keeps closer to the classic, do one thing and do it well, mentality. This has many benefits that don't translate well to GUI IDEs as they just can't match the flexibility and maturity of the shell ecosystem.
If you sleep alone, live in a comfortable climate, and don't have any sleep problems, or back pain problems, I'm happy for you. Your experience isn't universal though and sleep is the most important thing you can do for your body so getting good sleep is paramount. Furthermore, having data on how well you slept is very useful for figuring out your own body. We wear devices to log how many steps we take, a device to log how you sleep is just an extension of that.

Are you even taking care of yourself if you don't have one?

Okay no but seriously, a smart bed that helps you get really good sleep at night so you wake up rested and ready to face the whole world may not be your cup of tea, but that's what they're selling. You could get that without all the technology, but what's the sleep company going to do with the data? Know that you sleep at night? What's the privacy danger in that?
Great post, really enjoyed the flow of narrative and quality deep technical details
They are both GUIs for ffmpeg, I think you're mistaken and they do a lot of similar things
So Buddhism is included in Hinduism in your perspective?

Because I know many disagree to that. I also know it is not one of the "monotheistic Abrahamic faiths".

And the muslims might have come as invaders, but the islamic faith is still present in india since over 1200 years. You might not like it, but most think that qualifies as being part of that land by now.

Same im europe. Christian faith came mostly by the sword. It is still part of european culture now.

No App Store runs at 3% transacgoon fee - that’s the credit card interchange fee. Steam is 30% (with limited exceptions for review samples and humble bundle and other limited off-platform transactions). Microsoft store and PlayStation store are 30%. google play store is 30%.

So no: apple’s fees are competitive. Actually the 15% tier is below-market - and larger players can negotiate better rates.

Out of all the complaints you can level against apple - non-competitive transaction fees aren’t one of them, 30% is the going rate for that.
Sleep deprivation is torture under the Geneva Convention. It's rightfully considered a war crime.

Certainly, I’m just saying that if the thought is the change is going to happen on the policy side, that is unlikely due to entrenched self interested parties and US governance having mostly failed.

Think in systems. If you are attempting to force them to failure, find the weakest points and exert maximum force at those points.
What makes the water use "excessive"?

In the case of the aquifer, it's clear. It's a finite resource that is going to be depleted sooner rather than later.

But that doesn't apply to diverting water from the Missouri River.

I guess the author just wants people to self-flagellate and repent their sins, rather than look for solutions?
As an extra set of info: from about 8-9 years old children are often allowed to cycle alone to friends within the neighborhood to play. Around 11-12 years old middle school starts and you are expected to have your kids ready to cycle the city. School has a cycling exam as well. That means getting them to learn the city, know the difference between where separated cycling paths are (safest) and knowing what are the most dangerous situations (in NED: dead angles of trucks and forcing your right of way going straight on a motorist). It quite amazing that this cycling culture is at least 60 years old.
That argument was used (a lot) to decry suffragette protests and desegregation protests.

I for one am glad that women and black people didn't take it too seriously.

You may want to read some MLK - he had some very clear words about the liberal who demands civility in the face of oppression.
I love GTK, but compiling it on non-native platforms is torture. If you're lucky enough to get a build environment working, compilation can take hours just to yield a horribly buggy and slow GUI.

I really wish GTK worked better cross-platform, but I mostly use it for Linux-only stuff. It's not humane to make Windows and Mac users suffer through it, unfortunately.
You are not engaging in a good fait discussion if you think Citizen's United was just allowing a movie to be made about Hilary Clinton and that it was truly about free speech. It's about the consequences of the rulings and what the ruling said. The consequence of Citizen's United have been very bad for politics. Since Citizen's United outside spending on federal elections has greatly increased as a percent of total spending. Super PAC spending has greatly increased. This ruling was not about free speech.

> gutting the Voting Rights Act
Finding that Congress couldn’t impose different voting rights requirements on different states based on a 40 year old formula.

Another example of disingenuous discourse. Thousands of polling stations have closed in the south as a result of the ruling and those closure occurred in areas to disenfranchise black and other undesirable voters. The Voting Rights Act had become so commonly accepted that it passed Congress on its last passage almost without any nay votes. Even die hard conservatives were caught off guard by the courts ruling.

You are not living in reality with these beliefs of yours.
I'm interested if anyone has pulled the same thing with eight sleep. Not having access to control my bed's temperature because my internet is out bothers me deeply.
There never was a Year of Linux on the Desktop, but there's been a year of linux on the phone, linux on the car, linux on the submarine, linux on the fridge, and so it's no surprise there's a year of linux in the bed.

Anything sufficiently complex (this bed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_Number#Sleep_Number_Bed) is going to have a microprocessor, and it makes sense to have an OS that lets you interact with it via a serial console, with Linux being the cheapest and most commonly supported OS in that context.
I didn't clearly state it, but I don't mean "the same", strictly speaking. But they do have some right to it, and what rights they have are up to the both of you to decide.

If Google Docs said in their Terms of Use that they wanted full rights to every document created in the product, I assume very few people would use Google Docs. But if they reserve the right to train an LLM on the data to create better suggestions in various contexts, I assume many people would be fine with that, and will continue to use the product.

Ultimately it comes down to a) what the company wants, and b) what people are willing to give. None of these commercial products we're taking about here are monopolies, so users always have a choice whether or not to agree to these terms.

There's nothing inherently wrong with that setup?
> The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement. This is an important provision for consumers. Light means of transport batteries will need to be replaceable by an independent professional.

So, everyone in the population of Canada who disagreed with the ruling elite's opinions was personally "strong-armed" and "targeted"? Or only a subset of them? If it was just a subset, could there have been anything that distinguished much of that subset apart from the rest of the people who weren't "targeted?" Maybe some event they took part in or helped?
If the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store have the same fee structure, and your argument is that Google got their through competitive pricing… how can you claim Apple is taking advantage of their position when there is no price gouging going on when compared to other platforms that are offering the exact same service on another platform?
The comments and the article don't mention the positives of "cash"; Physical currency.

And really, it's more trouble than it's worth.

The number one benefit of going full cashless is just controlling inflation. It's MUCH easier to regulate supply if the supply isn't physical.

Also it's expensive to make and expensive to maintain for little real benefit.

And to solve the problem of vulnerable people not having economic access: Make accepting government cards required; It's the same argument for cash, but doesn't run into the difficulties of physical currency.

Cool, next they'll try regulating IP68 and then they'll have some fun conversation about how regulations only go so far to protect consumers.
> Stuxnet was written to target a very specific bit of equipment for a nefarious purpose

Except it didn't do that. It was found in dozens of networks in multiple countries. The vulnerabilities were discovered by other actors and used for other purposes.

The amount of collateral damage done here was far greater than the value of the initial operation. Importantly there were multiple different ways to achieve this particular outcome none of which required us to abuse vulnerabilities or release dangerous software to exploit them.

> This is just the state of software development/management we live in now.

Yes, and I think it's morally backwards, and I regret it.

> I really feel one of us have misreading of the situation.

I simply refuse to accept the intelligence agency marketing view of this action. It was incorrect. There were other less morally conflicted ways to solve this "problem."
My comment had nothing to do with wether or not the Court is being more or less activist. It was about the consequences of some key rulings.
> Today UI apps use 100X more memory,

Larger memory footprints aren’t just from the GUI. There is a lot more functionality to deal with everywhere. Just handling modern security, encryption, and certificate checking stack can take up more space than entire executables from the early 90s.

I also have literally 100X more RAM now.

> are slower,

Im fairly certain everyone who says this has simply forgotten how slow mechanical hard drives were. I occasionally have to pull out a very old laptop, hope that it still boots, and do something on it. Everything is so painfully slow in ways I forgot about. It’s refreshing to return to my modern PC.

> and are harder to use with little to show for it in terms of improved functionality.

If you don’t think modern apps have more functionality, I don’t know what to tell you.
> You have literally offered no argument

I absolutely did but seemingly no one understands the force of it (because no one actually cares about details). My argument was very very simple: go look at the hip backend in pytorch and the cuda backend. To anyone that understands what's what, that alone speaks volumes. Not my fault if you don't understand though.
No. We shouldn't make it easer for criminals to conduct terrorism, human trafficking, fraud etc just to make it slightly more economical for startups to compete with Visa/Mastercard.
> the many problems they have run into getting it to work reliably

That's the thing, they don't need to get the system working reliably, they just need one little part to show off.

There's a good way to get those patents not rescinded...

This is the main reason why card/phone payments are taking over. It isn't some grand conspiracy by banks/shadowy cabals/governments - it's just much more practical than to pay with cash. Also the fact that it costs less to accept card payments only than deal with cash for small places (coffe shops and the like).

The correct course of action here is government regulations ensuring an even playing field for payment providers, transaction fees caps, and strong privacy protections around them. Not luddite nonsense like forcing cash to be accepted everywhere.

Be careful, thee who would fight monsters, that you not in the end become that which you hate. For just as you stare into the abyss, the abyss dost stare back into you.

Your children must learn to navigate the world as it is. It's on you, not to shield them from the truth, but to nurture them such that they can make those decisions on their own.

If you fear that you were so easily influenced into this course of action by the conspiring of others, the answer then is to share that with them so they need not walk the same path you walked. Instead, you're doing just what all those schemers you fear have done. Placed yourself transparently into the stream of of an exploring mind with the intent to shape it and mold it as you wilt; instead of providing them the tools of the sculptor, and letting them hew themselves out of the rough with the benefit of your life experience as a template.

Not to belabor the point, but it is unambiguously disgusting, and evil to me; and I'm not one who is known to quickly pass judgement on such things. This one is from the start pretty obvious though. I have heard that my point of view would be different were I to sire children of my own; but I figure the active role I play in many youngster's lives gives me enough exposure to the subject matter area to know I most assuredly would not change in that regard; any child entering my custody is treated as my own flesh and blood.

You likely haven't put enough thought into alternative use cases you enable, and the harm that can be done. Nor have you likely done any work creating a way of knowing whether or how it is being abused. Like by an abusive or controlling spouse, or other such thing. Really think about that aspect; because the same people you're making this available to are the same people who had hands in "manipulating" you in the first place.

Burn it. Destroy it, and be done. I've had to get similarly destructive ideas out of my head before. Some things just don't deserve to see the light of day. This would be one. If you really must make it, then suffer it only to exist as a concession to your own convictionsDon't just put it out there. Part of the journey of mking such a thing is hopefully the gaining of enough wisdom to recognize it is not the right time for such a thing.

I beg you, do not persist making something so likely to turn into something you'll ultimately regret.
It's also problematic for the thousands of solo micro-businesses that operate in markets and pop-ups now (i.e. Etsy IRL). Most of them have a phone and a Square dongle, and that's it.

Asking all those one-person shops and merchants to start carrying around a float and writing out paper receipts (or having some kind of battery-powered till+printer) is a pretty big burden.

The US government has a lot of intentional friction built into the system and has had more added over time (e.g. the current iteration of the filibuster). Passing laws is harder and takes much longer than most democracies so applying existing laws to new or unexpected situations is a more important and more common issue.

Most of those structural hurdles won't change so the net effect is that instead of the elected administration doing minimal interpretation with judicial checks it will be the unelected and unaccountable judges doing it, usually with years of litigation and potentially years of delay added to any controversial regulation. All of that made worse by the ability to shop for friendly judges (see the absurd mifeprestone case).

We do have some broad limits to delegation and at least one member of the current court (Thomas) has expressed a desire to limit delegation further.
Depending on if he lives in a apartment some country/cities have laws against doing any work in the appartment that impacts the outside without permission from the house owner.

It’s actually super easy to do but the public will hate it. Pass a law that credit card surcharges MUST be added onto the final price.

That 2% cashback you get for using your Amex isn’t due to Amex generosity. That’s literally what retailers pay.

Right now I will absolutely use my cc for anything I can. It’s literally cheaper than cash and users of cash subsidise all my purchases. The only way to fix this is to force the surcharges on the cc users so cash users aren’t subsidising the price. But good luck getting that passed as law. Everyone either doesn’t care or thinks they are getting an amazing deal from the 2% back. It’s got to the point where stores that add a cc surcharge will be called out on social media when all they are doing is preventing cash from subsidising credit cards.
I worked in a smaller, independent guitar store for a few years in the 90s. We received enough cash and checks that once a day someone would have to walk over to the “night deposit” slot and toss a bag in. Our cash handling cost was equal to my salary for the 30 minutes it took me to make that walk, plus the risk that I would get mugged ($0 lost over a few years.) Often the owner would rake out enough to cover his spending needs, so there was an additional (slightly illegal) tax benefit to using cash. Armored cars and pickup only comes into play when you’re a big store doing loads of transactions, and then economies of scale probably keep the costs modest as a percentage.

Credit cards, on the other hand, can easily run you 30% on a $5 transaction here in the US, due to the unjustifiable fixed + percentage structure. Maybe it’s a little better in Canada.
I suppose this explains why developers don’t measure things. The things the typical developer needs to measure are tiny and immediate beyond trivial, typically with tools already available.

The problem with measuring things though is that you are forced to compare data and make original decisions that may likely destroy your personal opinions of a deeply held approach. Most developers bind their careers to a few technical conventions, which means a potentially catastrophic emotional/ethical impasse.

The fairness described in the article is about validation of algorithms across human fairness in finance and insurance, which implies validation against demographic averages. That can mean challenging assumptions of social presumptions for the sake of defeating bias as a quality control measure of algorithmic durability.

In either case the enemy is bias and the challenge is choosing between data objectivity versus current approaches. Even when the problem is made as simple as can be imagined people still find this harder than an outside observer would expect.
My take (as an American) on the one reason why cashless sucks: exorbitant transaction fees. 3% plus 50 cents is ridiculous, it should be like 0.1% at most for payment processor infrastructure.
More accurately:

+ "portable" (single exe with no automatic unzipping of dlls or anything)

+ commercial and unwilling to redistribute compiled object files (which together with the "portable" requirement, means no LGPL)

+ dark mode

Windows GUI apps is painful. Drop any one of these requirements and there are good established options.

Specifically I think most "portable" applications use win32 because, usually, portable => small, simple application where functionality is more important than dark mode or other styling ability.

A different product ownership model seems like it would dictate a different data ownership model. Last I checked, buying a Canon is a one-time purchase, you don't get periodic updates to the feature set, and Canon isn't paying some small amount of money every time you use their product.

With SaaS products these attributes are all different, and it seems fine that there also be a different data ownership model. Otherwise you (as a customer) are just trying to have your cake (unrestricted usage of the product) and eat it too (full ownership of all the data generated, even usage data).

That hardly seems like a fair trade?
