Privately owned infrastructure is perfectly sustainable in other fields, and so is publicly funded infrastructure. I think that, if necessary, either of those could be a viable replacement for open source being the infrastructure for tech. Obviously each comes with its own pros and cons compared to open source, but they still ought to be viable.
Maybe like Tulsi Gabbard they made an enemy of someone in power.
Fast growing as a percentage but still small on an absolute scale.

India became such a hub for outsourcing because of the huge pool of English speakers in a single country. Large scale near sourcing to South America has less of a time zone issue but only 1/3 the population of which fewer people speak English + a large number of countries with their own tax codes etc. It’s easy to lump Brazilian and Mexican developers together but cheaper to only operate in one of those countries at which point the talent pool just isn’t that huge.

Really it’s Middle America and Canada that are the ‘threats’ except unlike India there isn’t the vast talent pool. Silicon Valley alone has roughly the population of Montana + North Dakota + South Dakota but those states have nowhere near the number of software developers and they want first world compensation.

It’s easy to confuse geographic area for talent but those expensive costal cities are huge: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/maps-extremes-us-population...

When I had a stat section late at night and the nurse who was circulating the case (for the non-medical, a “circulator” is a nurse whose job is to get whatever is needed to make the surgery happen smoothly) didn’t know how to hook up the Glidescope (um, the best airway-securing device ever) while I’m trying to mask-ventilate a full-term patient and save the baby (you don’t want to mask-ventilate highly pregnant patients; their stomachs empty slowly and they are at high risk for vomiting and then inhaling it; you want a tube straight past their vocal cords so that the lungs are protected), I went to the nurse manager on the next regular day and said that not knowing what a Glidescope is and how to set it up was an unforgivable lack of knowledge. I don’t directly blame the nurse; she was thrown into a situation she had not been trained for. I blame those who didn’t teach her before putting her on night shifts with very few other nurses around.

“This is a chance to do this case electively, in a controlled manner, in a situation in which Bad Things are monumentally more likely to occur. At noon, I can have all the help in the world. At two AM, it’s me, and I only have two hands and one brain.”

As I have said in codes before, I’m eventually out of ideas, so if you have one that we haven’t tried yet, talk. I will not judge you as dumb. I may not do it, but I will listen and consider it seriously before making that call.

I'm not a child. I don't go into the workplace looking for bonding. You know what bonding gets you when you get laid off? A cone of silence because you're immediately forgotten. If you are attempting to create a social life through your work environment, you're doing it wrong. This isn't to say you can't have friends at work, or create professional networks, but you should never pretend that your co-workers will automatically be your friends or want to be your friends, especially in competitive environments. It isn't good for you and it isn't good for them.
Isn't 4 lanes for a 10 GbE NIC a complete overkill? Two lanes should be plenty. One would do, assuming your combined full duplex bandwidth doesn't exceed 16 Gbps (minus overhead).

For PCIe4, 4 lanes corresponds to 64 Gbps of bandwidth.
According to the CEO:

"My point of view is we should be together as much as possible. You need to figure out where you need to be to get your job done, then do that,” he said. “We’re all adults here."

A lot of us adults figured out a long time ago that the only place we need to be to get our job done is near an internet connection.
So you're not going to use Arc. How much do you pay for the browser you do use?
For some reason I read your post as a negation or dismissive of the parent post.

I dont think there will be a clear solution to the issue. I think companies will sort into those with in person cultures and remote cultures, but there will always be some dissatisfied minority in each one.

The burden will then be on the employee. If you dont want to work in person, dont accept an offer with that in the job requirements. Inversely, if you want in person relations, dont join a remote company.
Eh, unlikely. Consultancies usually charge for travel and expenses (or a per diem).
Posting claims of it being such is pretty easy, though.

The Wikipedia entry on relational algebra does not even mention disks. Given this (together with what I recall from Codd's seminal papers on the concept), I am not inclined to believe it has anything to do with disks specifically, just on your say-so. If you have something more to say in support of your position, I will give it all due consideration.

Security bulletin is posted up top on the blog page now, but I have to say it doesn't exactly give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

It falls a bit flat for me where you address the tracking of domains visited by users, I don't think this accurately addresses or identifies the core issues. When you say "this is against our privacy policy and should have never been in the product to begin with"--okay, so how did get there? This wasn't a data leak due to a bug it was an intentionally designed feature that made its way through any review process which might be in place to production without being challenged. What processes will you put in place to prevent future hidden violations of your stated policies?

Edit just to say, dubious as I am I sincerely hope Arc can overcome these issues and succeed. We desparately need more browsers, badly enough that I'll even settle for a Chromium-based one as long as it isn't made by Microsoft.
I try my best to treat every violation as a serious incident. The only way I'd take a guard off is if I couldn't afford to get some other tool.

I just assume I will fail and forget many steps, and the only thing that might possibly give me a chance of not losing fingers, is following all rules and continually looking for ways to add even more margin.

Bonding too closely with your coworkers will only make it easier for them to find a spot to drive the knife into.

I have a meetup I attend weekly to bond over tech stuff with more friend type people. Coworkers are coworkers. Nothing against them but they're not my buddies.
> Open source first felt to me like a way to give power back to ordinary people, and it still is, but it seems like those who get the most benefit from free labor are large corporations.

As I often do on this topic, I feel compelled to point out that this isn't actually a problem. Software is not a scarce resource, and Microsoft (or whomever) getting huge benefits from a project doesn't prevent the project from doing good for the common man as well. Since nobody is being hurt by corporate usage of open source, there's no problem.
I really enjoy Arc's approach to the browser interface, but I am kind of shocked that it requires firebase at all. It touts privacy, but we have to log in, and our data is being stored in a BAAS owned by Google. It would have been SO much simpler to make it so that data is owned by the user and stored on disk. At MOST, maybe a paid syncing feature would require an external database. A takeover path like this is a big deal, but as the author pointed out, you stored URL browsing data for boosts. "Privacy first" browser's are marketing jargon today, and that sucks.

This is fair. The problem is it's being done with zero controls, let alone verifiable ones.

I used to be an IT guy at a structural and civil engineering firm. Those were real professional engineers with stamps and liability.

As long as "SWEs" do not have stamps and legal liability, they are not real (professional) engineers, IMHO.

My point is that I believe to earn the title of "Software Engineer," you should have a stamp and legal liability.

We done effed up. This breach of standards might be the great filter.

edit: Thanks to the conversation down-thread, the possibly obvious solution is a Software Professional Engineer, with a stamp. This means full-stack is actually full effing stack, not any bullshit. This means that ~1% to ~5% of SWE would be SWPE, as it is in other engineering domains. A SWPE would need to sign off on anything actually important. What is important? Well we figured that out in other engineering domains. It's time for software to catch the f up.

It sounds like you started very recently. I would be interested in your thoughts after working like this for 6 months - a year.
Basically, they will take your idea and make it a plan, without regard to the organization.

Not my experience at all. It is faster and has slightly more feature since.
> Similar to a photocopy or resale of a book

I mean, right there is the attempted rhetorical trick that gives the game away. A photocopy is completely unlike resale of a used book, and is only considered “fair use” under specific, practical circumstances.

It’s hard to seriously argue that you could lawfully photocopy books whole, then make a lending library out of the copies, or that such a thing has any similarity to reselling used books.
This is a bizarre take. Of course, no person is completely unknown to other individuals. While my neighbour may have access to that which allows him to make crude comments in the street, this is a physical limitation. It is not at all desirable that my house has information leakage. If it were feasible/cost effective to make my house completely soundproof I likely would.

The internet is different. There are trade offs to privacy just like the real world, but it is not physical. Encryption exists. It protects real people from real governments that feature oppressive regimes. It protects them _now_, not in some distant future where N protests, elections or uprises have toppled all government entities that abuse their power. This seems to be a lofty ideal that we should all trust each other, our governments, our isps, our web services.

I think the crucial part is choice. You are welcome to blog every wikipedia article you visit, or live stream every activity you partake in over Twitch. But this is not a requirement to use the internet.
In retail between black Friday and a few days before Christmas this tends not to be true. Especially when it coincides with printed marketing.
That has been the reason I've never given Arc a shot. It's unacceptable.
Open source is one of the most thankless jobs. People who do it should still think about other ways to make money, or find a way to earn while contributing. It makes no sense to write amazing software, used by large corporations to generate billions, while you end up poor and bitter. No, it’s not fair, and no one should allow themselves to be taken advantage of in that way. Open source is a gift, but before giving to others, you should ensure you have enough for yourself.
The same way that McDonald’s or H&R Block are preventing you from using a Treo 650. Those companies also do not provide cellular service compatible with that phone.
FCC regulations around not making it easy to transmit outside of the licensed band tend to cause this.
Delta is not perfect, but compared to United and American it’s practically Singapore/Emirates vs Spirit/Ryanair. The whole experience is better in every way.

May not be everyone’s experience, and if you live in a big hub city for one of the others they might be better. But for me, I only book something else if it will save me a plane change.
Again, correlation not causation.
I remember dropping my treo 650 while hiking. The back cover came off, the battery went flying and worst of all - my memory card was dislodged and disappeared in the woods.
Perhaps I'm being paranoiac, but are you sure you are not getting scammed? Why do they need a reseller? Did you know the big client before getting fired? Did you know the software before getting fired?
I don't know how we resolve this. Some things are excellent because open source allows an individual to make what they want without answering to a boss or whatever and then if it gets popular, it comes with responsibilities but probably little or no pay.

As someone who did a lot of volunteer work, these issues resonate with me -- painfully so.

That's probably my primary motive for reading such articles when I'm not really a programmer.
Soon enough we will have the Machine, like in POI.
Making the code available doesn’t necessarily mean that you can actually flash the image since it can be cryptographically locked down. Or even you support flashing but only let you do certain trusted operations from a signed image.
Sounds extremely subjective.

i.e. it does not have my favored instructions or addressing modes, so it must be worse.
Probably not. Data flow is declartive in data transformations and "differential" refers to be incremental. But what the link tries to model seems to relate to asynchronous transformations. Not on the same level.
Apologies for the throwaway account, I just don't want this comment 'on the record':

I've worked nearly 100% from home for the last 5 years. My wife works for a major bank, and has had a hybrid work arrangement for all that time. Employees there are required to spend 5 days in the office per fortnight. This requirement is strictly enforced. For whatever reason, we spend about 3 months of every year battling viruses that spread around her office. Every few months someone brings COVID to her office. Flu season is an absolute nightmare. I'm not sure what has changed in the wider human biome, but I don't remember respiratory viruses being something I needed to worry about prior to COVID. I'd only ever had the flu once before in my life, but now we get it multiple times a year. I've had three severe respiratory viruses this year alone, and I'm a healthy, fit, non-immunocompromised person. Anecdotally, other people are experiencing the same thing. Is this something that affects other people here?
That's fair. I was also trying not to be dismissive. It's just a fundamental difference in how we see work relationships.
There are other options.

Option 2: Fork the code and do whatever they want with it.

Option 3: Directly employ open source project maintainers instead of donating to the project. They can exert at least some control over project direction that way.

Most enterprises don't even have a budget line item for open source project donations.
I use data-testid all the time with Vue.

Playwright scripts might sometimes be infuriating to modify, but it's the one single thing that has improved my app most.
I've been a Dropbox user for a long time with the 2TB option.

However, this is a different story and is of Flickr. I have been on Flickr since its early days and had many photos with a pro account. Quite a few apps on Flickr used to use my collection as a way to stress test their applications. My collections were also popular; I had 11+ million views before I abandoned it. I have done my take-out, backup, and downgraded.

The thing is, I found no option to easily delete all the photos while keeping the account for posterity. There is no mass-delete option. So, I was hoping that by violating their usage, they would delete my photos. Hell No, they have kept threatening me for the past many years but haven't deleted it yet.
I read your comment in dark mode. Is that ok with you? I forgot to ask.
Are they still demanding "accessibility" permission on macOS computers, giving them broad powers to run roughshod over your system? That's the thing I most remember about trying Dropbox, their belligerent installer.
I think that the adverse effects of allowing WFH pale in comparison to moving up and down the spectrum of strengths of companies within certain industries, to the point that WFH/WFO seems like an irrelevant question unless you're currently at the top of your industry.

Here's my example: I work in the space industry, and the difference between SpaceX and every other vehicle provider is insane. The speed, quality, and average performance of people working within SpaceX's culture cannot be matched by anyone else flying hardware right now. It's gotten to the point where spaceflight feels like an elaborate farce, or a welfare program for aerospace engineers, unless you're working on a SpaceX project. I'm almost embarrassed to collect a paycheck, and I'm considered a pretty decently high performer at my own company.

So--if my company chooses to WFH or WFO, so what? Maybe we lose some competitive edge with WFH, but all the employees are happier and retention may improve a little bit. We're not going to compete with SpaceX. We don't have the intellect or experience necessary.

My guess is that this is how it is across all industries. There are a handful of companies competing for the "top dog" spot, and at these companies, WFO/WFH is a relevant question. If WFH causes you to lose competitive edge, it's worth disallowing in favor of retaining only hustlers who are willing to go for the throat and win, and thus either make insane profits or redefine technological standards for the next decade. For most of the other companies within the industry, it doesn't matter. You're not the top dog, and your corporation doesn't have the DNA necessary to get there. By definition 50% of employees are worse than the median quality employee, and yet they're still employed; how many are at your company? You may as well allow WFH to keep your people happy.

Sure, you can eke out another 5-30% performance increase by mandating them back to the office, and that's the equivalent of 0.001% performance increase at whatever company is currently truly dominating in your industry. Is it worth it? Life is short.

> But with software security the complexity is nearly infinitely higher, and making it secure is much harder to guarantee.

The other thing is that software, especially software connected software (which these days is most software) has to have a much higher level of security than most other industries. When a structural engineer builds a bridge they don't have to worry abou a large number of criminals from all over the world trying to find weaknesses that can be exploited to cause the bridge to collapse.

But software engineers do have to worry about hackers, including state sponsored ones, constantly trying to find and exploit weaknesses in their software.

I think it absurd to put blame on software engineers for failing to make flawless software instead of the bad actors that exploit bugs that would never be noticed during normal operation, or the law enforcement that is ineffective at stopping such exploitation.

Now, I do think that there should be more liability if you don't take security seriously. But there is a delicate balance there. If a single simple mistake has the potential to cause devastating liability, that will seriously slow down the software industry and substantially increase the cost.
There is a better middle ground here by saying the company that made it may not have known, but nation state threat actors most likely do.

When you see actors at this level set up manufacturing thousands of explosive filled devices at very high production quality, inserting some compromised things like printers or routers in a company network wouldn't be and shouldn't be a surprise.
That's not how companies work.

Individuals have agency over discretionary spending, in other words you can wake up and decide to donate money, hire a OSS dev, and so on.

Because you personally have that agency, and because companies have lots of money, you project that agency onto companies.

But that's not how companies work.

People at companies have very little personal agency when it comes to spending money. Spending has to be approved, justified, and some value has to be received.

FOSS basically is (mostly) incompatible with this model. Some companies do pay staff to work on OSS but it's rare (and exclusively tech companies with a motivation.)

So while your statement is completely true, it's also not possible.

It's important to recognize that donations and corruption are indistinguishable, and company finances tend to be set up to avoid corruption.
