> That's a problem right there. Maybe that made sense to the Greeks, but it definitely doesn't make any sense in the 21st century. "Knowing" falsehoods is something we broadly acknowledge that we all do.

I think the philosophical claim is that, when we think we know something, and the thing that we turns out to be false, what has happened isn't that we knew something false, but rather that we didn't actually know the thing in the first place. That is, not our knowledge, but our belief that we had knowledge, was mistaken.

(Of course, one can say that we did after all know it in any conventional sense of the word, and that such a distinction is at the very best hair splitting. But philosophy is willing to split hairs however finely reason can split them ….)
It's not like they only start developing the driver when the card is released. In either case, they work with the OS vendor for months or years prior to develop the driver. One often sees this in e.g. Intel drivers coming out in the Linux kernel well before the hardware is available to the consumer.

You're not entirely wrong, either, though; it's more of a concern with LTS support. Though this is reduced somewhat by most things not actually needing custom drivers by using existing standards, e.g. HID, and/or by userspace drivers.

And, of course, you don't have it at all if you only buy hardware with Linux pre-installed and supported by the vendor. You know, like you do with Windows and Mac.

I am concerned about the fact that we don't know the identities of any of the authors of this web page.

There are people who find it very enjoyable to destroy someone's reputation (for basically the same reason that there are people for whom murder is such a turn-on that they cannot stop themselves from doing it till they get caught).

Also, there might be ways to profit or personally benefit from a campaign like this. E.g., one of the authors of this web page might covet one of the titles or jobs Stallman currently holds -- for themselves or for a friend. E.g., Stallman or one of his supporters might be approached in the coming days with an offer: I can make this web page disappear from public view, but it will cost you. Basically any rival has an incentive to try to get you fired and to destroy your reputation.

I suspect that we as a society should adopt the general rule that anonymous attacks on the reputation of a person should be ignored. In the absence of such a rule, anyone can keep on waging campaigns of reputation destruction (in pursuit of getting ahead somehow or of a twisted kind of enjoyment) with little to no cost or risk to themselves. The attack can include lies, and even if the lies are discovered, again there is no cost or consequence to the attacker.

Reading around (e.g. [0]) it sounds like variance isn't something researchers care for, probably with the assumption that screening with a higher value is better than missing an issue from a lower value.

We see the same for body temperature (speed and convenience is usually prioritized over accuracy) and weight (2% variation is largely accepted). Afterall guidelines are already off as by definition, as they don't account for individual circumstances, so perhaps aiming for accuracy is useless in most settings.

Lofty claims are great – a propensity for them is not a given at 15, nor at any age. So many fall into the opposite scenario, of uncertainty and unknown complexity causing them to dial claims down. That _destroys_ potential.
YES! I recently deep dived into modern HTML/CSS to make my SSG and the two worst surprises were this (more specifically via https://github.com/ruricolist/spinneret/issues/37) and CSS's bad defaults around those inline/block elements (and the needed peppering of auto margin) and box-sizing != border-box.
Yes, the HTML parser, probably the component that is the most spec compliant. I think the CSS parser also is. For the initial phase, I think it is more important to get something working. For a later implementation, the spec should dictate what we do and what not. But with a small team, it is just not feasible.

My bugbear with dentists in the US (after living my first 30 years in the UK) is that they all continually hassle me to have my wisdom teeth removed. Said teeth have never caused me any problems and are all through the gums. I can only assume it's dogma or an opportunity to bill insurance for costly unnecessary surgery.
But why go to these practitioners if you don't trust them ? Nobody should be forcing you. Is it because you want access to treatment solely on your own terms ?

It's just a support rota at the end of the day. Everyone does it, but not all the time, freeing you up to focus on more challenging things for a period without interruption.

Literally the first year of medical school, we were taught to let the patient rest for at least 5 minutes before taking vitals, while also asking about recent exercises or caffeine intake. This reduces the likelihood of a mistake, but white coat hypertension is still a thing. That's why we also teach them/relatives how to correctly measure BP on their own and ask them to measure it at home, preferably after waking up before eating anything.
I'm a big believer in not getting in the way when people want to build stuff. I get GitHub alerts for vulnerabilities in the dependencies of my Rust programs, and I release new versions whenever there's a relevant vulnerability.

My programs work, pass all tests on supported platforms, and don't have any active vulns. Forcing dynamic binding on me is probably not a good idea, and certainly not work I want to do.
Ask HN: Is this VSCode extension malicious?
I run a small programming YouTube channel and someone with a Gmail address asked if they could sponsor me.

They wanted me to review this VSCode extension[1].

Everything seems super dodgy: The extension only has 2 reviews, the linked repo[2] doesn't actually contain the source code.

I downloaded the sources from the extension marketplace, but the code is minified and obfuscated. I tried a de-minifier but the file is a few thousand lines long so it's hard to say if there's malicious code.

Is there a way to determine if this extension is safe to use? Simply installing it could give an attacker full access to my machine, right?

We have such a myriad "dependency bundling technologies", dating back over more than a decade by now, and the situation has only been made worse.

It's way too comfortable for _developers_ to bundle dependencies. That already explains why there is pressure to do so. You yourself look at this with developer glasses. I think users couldn't care less or may even actively avoid dependency bundling. Cause my impression, as a user, is that not only they almost never work right, but they actually make compatibility _harder_, not easier. And they decrease desktop environment integration, they increase overhead in every metric, they make patching things harder, etc. etc. Can you find other reasons why all these technologies you mention are not flying at all for desktop Linux users?

And speaking as a developer, the software I develop is usually packaged by distros (and not myself), so I'm very well aware of the "sweating" involved. And despite that, I will say: it is not as bad as the alternatives presented.

No joke. That is a major money maker. There is minimal cost per-use and your insurance pays $200 for it (my last one was $186.00 for instance). The dentists would be crazy not to recommend them as of often as possible.

Fluoride "rinses" are likely up there too. Rinse for a few seconds and they charge the insurance $50 or something for it.

Who said anything about open source demise in general?

Wordpress is past its prime, has always been a wrapper over a hideous dogshit codebase, has bad leadership, is in a crisis, and will slowly disappear.

It’s natural, and not a big deal. Wordpress pushed out other options, and now they too will fall. Something else will come along.

The article is spot on.
> Bikes started being less repairable when manufacturers noticed that steel frame 10 speeds were lasting multiple decades.

Steel frames are heavy beasts. Aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys or carbon fiber is waaaay lighter in contrast, and weight is king at least if you're not running with electrical assistance.

It's exactly the same in cars, there we have exactly the same trend towards lighter but more brittle materials.

Homes on the market aren't infinitely customizable. It seems perfectly likely that GP would have been happy to buy a home with exactly the amount of space they needed, but such a home was not available at a price they could pay. (Maybe they settled for a slightly less-nice neighborhood, or a slightly less-nice house, that just happened to provide an extra room or two.)

Even if that wasn't the case, I don't see a problem with buying slightly larger than is necessary, because (for example) perhaps they're planning to have a couple kids in the next few years, but will rent out the extra space until then. Moving is transactionally expensive, and expecting someone to move every few years as their space needs change is unreasonable.

Regardless, you seem a bit overly judgmental about this entire situation, and about someone you don't know at all.
Well, the application is basically unoptimized. However, we also don't have many components yet that can eat up your memory. But we try to keep the memory usage as low as possible. We also thought about integrating it into something like Electron, and for something like that it is important to have a low memory usage.

Lateron, we might have some compile time flags to reduce memory usage in cost of a bit of speed. Most Electron apps don't require that big oomf performance on the startup, since everything is locally and can be cached in a better way.
Cuff sizes are targeted to a range of arm sizes. The range should be stated either on the cuff or in the manual. Using improper sizes over/underestimates the pressure values.

> While this is flattering, the truth is that our product is covered in warts, and our “lean” team is more a product of our inability to identify and hire great engineers, rather than an insistence on superhuman efficiency.

> The result is that our product breaks more often than we’d like. The core functionality may remain largely intact but the periphery is often buggy, something we expect will improve only as our engineering headcount catches up to our product scope.

I really resonate with this problem. It was fun to read. We've been tried different methods to balance customers and long-term projects too.

Some more ideas that can be useful:

* Make quality projects an explicit monthly goal.

For example, when we noticed our the edges in our surface area got too buggy, we started a 'Make X great' goal for the month. This way you don't only have to react to users reporting bugs, but can be proactive

* Reduce Scope

Sometimes it can help to reduce scope; for example, before adding a new 'nice to have feature', focus on making the core experience really great. We also considered pausing larger enterprise contracts, mainly because it would take away from the core experience.

All this to say, I like your approach; I would also consider a few others (make quality projects a goal, and cut scope)

However, the original inventor of the Pomodoro technique explicitly advocates a "low tech" approach - a mechanical kitchen timer, because he argued that the tactile and auditory elements (i.e., the turning moves and ticking sounds) get associated with the elements of the techniques in the human brain.

It would be interesting to evaluate both variants of the approach in a scientific experiment.

A study recently found that a nuclear powered grid to be vastly more expensive than a renewable grid when looking at total system cost.

Nuclear power needs to come down by 85% in cost to be equal to the renewable system.

Every dollar invested in nuclear today prolongs our reliance on fossil fuels. We get enormously more value of the money simply by building renewables.

The study finds that investments in flexibility in the electricity supply are needed in both systems due to the constant production pattern of nuclear and the variability of renewable energy sources. However, the scenario with high nuclear implementation is 1.2 billion EUR more expensive annually compared to a scenario only based on renewables, with all systems completely balancing supply and demand across all energy sectors in every hour. For nuclear power to be cost competitive with renewables an investment cost of 1.55 MEUR/MW must be achieved, which is substantially below any cost projection for nuclear power.

There’s nothing really general or abstract to what OP was stating though.
