This seems in line with the EFF's principles - they've always been strongly against the use of electronics for surveillance. I agree with you that this article left me with a weird taste, though - in this case, I think that the thesis is flimsy and the research is poorly done, so it comes off as grinding an axe rather than taking a stand.
Hey, I'm the guy who is 100% against private car ownership, and I don't want to "confiscate your car" (I mean, what would I do with that?) or encourage anyone to do so (unless, of course, they're the bank and you're a delinquent, don't want to upset the apple cart too much...).

I want you to be able to reliably get transport to where-ever you need to go, an what-ever time you need to go there, without the need to keep a 1000-pound pile of junk in (semi-)public spaces at all times.

Where I live, that's pretty much a possibility already. I want everyone to have that same freedom!
It’s heuristics encoded in genes.

Things get more confusing when I talk about how fungi are the original farmers. But I don’t mean that anthropomorphically. I just mean farmer as “an entity that farms”

Susanne Simard, who knows trees better than fungi, tries to ascribe a sense of fairness to how forest food web fungi share and disburse minerals, sugars and water. Personally I just see osmotic pressure. Not as the only driver (see also arbitrage), but the one responsible for most of that “fairness”.
For workers, sure. We said the same thing about WFH, and well, employers disagreed as soon as they were able to.
> My personal take, we’ve made the cost of failure to high and cheating too easy.

I agree with the first part, but I think the second follows from it.

Take a class like organic chemistry. When I was in school, the grade was based on 5 exams, each worth 20% of your grade. Worse still, anything less than an A was seen as a failure for most students dreaming of medical/vet school.

Of course you are going to have people that are going to cheat. You've made the stakes so high that the consequences of getting caught cheating are meaningless.

On top of that, once enough students are cheating, you need to cheat just to keep up.
> commercial building roofs.

And southern walls.
>I agree that in many cases there is a problem, and indeed, objects can be designed as too coarse.

Or don't put your methods in an object at all. Then you don't need to even worry about everything being designed coarse because your object doesn't even exist in the first place.

>Objects naturally group related functions in some cases (when they truly conform to a coherent entity), so I guess I disagree they are always wrong.

Think of it like this: You can build a lego project by gluing all the pieces together (aka OOP) but I would say this is always wrong because if you just connect the pieces together without glue they will stick together but they can be split apart at the same time. In OOP your mistakes may not be evident until years later, OR changing requirements make the glue hard to remove...

Thus I say it's always wrong to use OOP. Just don't glue anything together. Leave it all decoupled. There's no point to bring glue to a lego set.

>Functions can fall prey to the same faulty thinking. I've seen many times functions "in the wild" that do too many things, tweakeable through too many parameters. They usually must be refactored.

So? It's not like Taking the SAME function and placing it in an Object doesn't solve this problem. This problem you describe is completely orthogonal to the issue I'm describing because it exists in your logic independent of whether or not that logic is a method or a function.

>In fact, refactoring is where you split objects that have become too large or ill-defined for their own good, is it not?

Yeah, If your logic was a collection of functions you don't have to spend the inordinate effort to remove the glue. All you need to do is recompose the lego building blocks in a different way because there wasn't any glue holding it together (if you didn't use OOP)

>In the end, I think this is more about good software engineering practices rather than "one must use/must not use OOP/FP" or whatever ?Programming style.

I didn't specify FP here. OOP is NOT good software engineering practice is what I'm saying here.
As others have mentioned, there are differences between UX and UI.

On the UX side, the main goals are to

1. Understand the needs of the user

2. Understand psychological principles of perception and cognition.

3. Present the information in a way to enable the user to accomplish their task with the least cognitive load possible (typically.. there are edge cases where you want to introduce more friction but we will ignore those for now)

Start by getting a good understanding of the core Gestalt principles - https://careerfoundry.com/en/blog/ui-design/what-are-gestalt... - which influence how people perceive things. These principles are a core building block for UX and need to become an instinctive tool you use for arranging information and interfaces to achieve specific goals.

From there I'd suggest reading the following

- Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug

- The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman

- Everything by Edward Tufte, which as a data person you might have already read

Getting a foundation of understanding how people process their world will be crucial to growing a UX competency. The color and wording part will come after that foundation is built.

Except, it doesn't in reality.

"In 2015, a study of 26,000 articles from 13 news sites on the World Wide Web, conducted by a data scientist and published on his blog, found that the majority (54 percent) were yes/no questions, which divided into 20 percent "yes" answers, 17 percent "no" answers and 16 percent whose answers he could not determine"

(from that link)
But how do you analyze the policies without doing science? Nothing in the above is sound to me.

"The proposed policies in the US all dramatically increase the cost of energy" - why? How do you even begin to conclude this without looking at some sort of (economic/scientific) analysis?

"only slightly slow the progression of warming" - again, how are you concluding this?

"we as a species have gotten really good as reducing deaths" - why should this trend continue? Why should it continue in the face of more extreme weather/climate change?

All I see are things you _think_ are true, and so to you your argument seems sound. But as the comment you replied to said, all I see is ignorant, sloppy science, since any meaningful analysis of these policies is by definition science. These cost/benefits you mention are not universal apparent truths.

Per their response to this issue, seems like this is a bug: While they do have some non-FOSS code in their `sdk` package, the client should still be buildable without the SDK:

> Hi @brjsp,
> Thanks for sharing your concerns here. We have been progressing use of our SDK in more use cases for our clients. However, our goal is to make sure that the SDK is used in a way that maintains GPL compatibility.
>
>
> the SDK and the client are two separate programs
> code for each program is in separate repositories
> the fact that the two programs communicate using standard protocols does not mean they are one program for purposes of GPLv3
> Being able to build the app as you are trying to do here is an issue we plan to resolve and is merely a bug.
Not sure a "national" culture is the right take on such huge countries with so many different regions.

I've lived in the "Cajun Country" of Louisiana and round-the-bay in Newfoundland, and they both have (boat|pirogue|dory)-loads of culture.
Makes sense. A three letter US agency can very well identify the people making these calls when they can spy on Indian diplomats. I hope a request through Interpol is made.

The fundamental problem is that centralizing Google (née Doubleclick) considers well-loved libre software and lower-tier surveillance industry malware to be equivalently worthy of trust. It's a reasonable goal to keep Grandma from installing no-name extension #837 (bundled with bottom-market surveillance malware) in spite of herself. But projects like UBO and syncthing have reputations that frankly deserve more trust than Google, itself a top-market player in the surveillance industry.
That sounds right, I would have implemented google drive as a filesystem driver, but I am not google so what do I know.

Most of this isn't even necessary; just look for passion and <anything> that gets them excited from a relevant technology area, then probe for legitimacy and learn about their interests. Being a jr. is all about the individual learning and skilling up, you really shouldn't be looking for existing expertise.

I'm curious if a thruster malfunction could also cause it to spin to the point of breaking up.
I read the article and I mentioned the positive part tacked on at the end and out of place with the rest of the article.

As I originally responded to you, if your goal was to convey that everyone should treat their employees well then that didn't come through for me. Frankly, writing about how spoiled and naive people are and how the time for wasteful fun is at an end is a weird structure if your intended point was that this is a good thing we need more of.

No... it is more than recreational. It is a way to establish shared understanding (which could be a test of how similar you are, and intelligence).
Interesting, I have a history in West Coast food co-ops as a baker, manager, and volunteer board member. In my time of direct involvement (1997-2007) I didn't see any union busting or undue influence from UNFI, CDS or other outside entities. Of course it's been a while since then!

Additionally, I found the Carver Policy Governance model we followed effective and intriguing. FWIW "speak in one voice" on our board was a strength, meaning we worked out our differences of opinion on official matters in the board room, but were always free to voice our independent opinions as member-owners and expected to make it clear which "hat" we wore (board member vs. member-owner) when talking to members.

My quick gloss on Policy Governance - Basically you draft "Ends" that the organization follows (mission & values, etc.) and then prohibit what means the GM can take to enact them. Everything else is up to them, and if you're doing it right as a board you're paying VERY close attention to language and intentions, and chains of cause and effect (always keeping "bad GM" scenarios top of mind). The board is basically the legislature (and judiciary in times of need) to the GM's executive branch.

Maybe it's unique to the co-op I worked in - but a key part of being a board member was "Member Linkage" meaning that while the board couldn't directly enact the changes that members requested, it was 1000% our obligation to listen to them, give them space on agendas, and take these requests seriously. When I was involved, employees were encouraged to run for board seats, and AFAIK there has always been direct staff representation on the board before and after my tenure.

IANAL - But if a board member knowingly lets an outside entity change its bylaws in a way that negatively affects the co-op and its members - that is a breach of a board member's fiduciary duty for which they could be personally liable. Same - if an outside corporate stooge is installed on the board and prioritizes their outside biz' well-being over the co-op's, that would also be a breach of fiduciary duty. Also - if such a stooge ran for a board position and didn't disclose their business connection and intention to prioritize their employer's needs over the co-op's, that would be a blatantly clear conflict of interest that is grounds for immediate removal in any org with decent bylaws.

So - not calling BS on this, but something isn't quite adding up here in the articles linked.
Anything big endian.

unsigned int x = 0x01020304;
unsigned char *c = (unsigned char*)&x;

Assume x is stored at 0x100. On a little endian architecture (x86, most modern ARM systems, etc), it will be stored in memory as [04][03][02][01], from bytes 0x100 to 0x103. If you assign char c to the address of x (0x100), it will read one byte, which is 0x4.

However, on a big endian system, that same value would be stored in memory as [01][02][03][04] - so, reading a byte at 0x100 would return 0x1.

Older ARM systems were big endian, and there are others that run that way, though it's rarer than it used to be. One of the perks of little endian is that if you want to read a smaller version of a value, you can read from the same address. To read that value as an 8, 16, or 32 bit value, I read at the same address. On a big endian system, I'd have to do more address math to do the same thing. It mostly doesn't matter, but it is nice to be able to have a "read of 8 bits at the address of the variable" do the sane thing and return the low order 8 bits, not the high order bits.
Off the top of my head I'd include the following in basic quality of life (but not fundamental ability to live) these days:

* A little extra space in your dwelling
* Internet
* Access to nature
* Hot water
* Some means of transportation that grants you access to work, home, and recreation
* Leisure time beyond that needed to cook, clean, sleep, and exercise
* Some dietary variety
* Any functioning smartphone
* Access to community
* A modest amount of extra money for recreation
* Any vacation time
* Access to heat/cooling beyond the bare minimum
* Access to education
* More than one choice in a job
* A bed that doesn't hurt you

The list could likely be trimmed or made narrower, and there are likely things I'm not thinking of, but you get the idea. Nothing extravegent or necessarily expensive, just a few things beyond the absolute bare minimum a human needs to survive. Basically, I think everyone should have access to three major things:
1. The necessities of survival
2. A few extras to allow the unmotivated and unambitious to be sustainably content and not truly miserable from true deprivation (so, like, evaluate human needs the way a modern ethical zoo evaluates animal needs rather than a historical abusive menagerie would).
3. Access to tools and resources for the sufficiently ambitious to reasonably improve their situation without making excessive sacrifices from point 1 or 2.

Does any of that strike you as unreasonable or unachievable?
I'm sure someone else could calculate the informational density of all of the text on the internet vs. 30,000 hours of sight, smell, touch, sound, etc density. My intuition tells me it's not even close.
It's probably defined by the catch points as that's what matters: whether the catch points end up where they belong (good) or not (disaster). The catch points are not "out of round".
If I drag/drop and change the order, it gets reset if I add another item to the playlist (this was as of yesterday, don't know if they fixed it in today's release)

Haven't checked today. Glad they put OPML back

Edit: Just checked the ordering, it seems worse now. About 2-3 months ago (forgot when these features were broken), if I added an episode to a playlist, it will add it at the end of the playlist, the episode date didn't matter. Which I what I liked, as I can reorder the playlist however I want. Now I don't even know what order it is adding - it is no longer by date, neither is it at the end of the playlist.
One thing that can be useful with sampling is sampling a consistent but growing sub population. This can help maintain a consistent holdout for machine learning models, help you sample analytical data and test joins without null issues etc.

If you use a deterministic hash, like farm_fingerprint on your id column (e. g user_id) and keep if modulus N = 0, you will keep the same growing list of users across runs and queries to different tables.
If that is your opinion then clearly the user could have responded to the actual parent comment that they believe contained such, higher up in the comment chain.

This is the stupidest thing about the TSA though:

On one hand, it's security theater. A real threat does not find it intimidating.

However, if someone were to abolish the TSA for being security theater, do you have confidence that people wouldn't immediately start bringing knives?

It's security theater that simultaneously fulfills a deterrence purpose; and any politician that dares get rid of it, will be blamed for anything and everything thereafter.
One thing you could consider trying, depending on your relationship(s) with the higher management at your existing employer: ask them for explicit permission to commercialize the open source project. Heck, you might even go as far as to ask them to invest in your project.

You'd need to spend some time working out your case for why this is a "win win" for everybody involved; and all of this would depend a lot on how reasonable those people are (and how much you trust them) but in the ideal scenario this could possibly be the best situation of all.

Short of that, I'd say "work on it *in private* on your own time, do *not* talk about it at all with any of your current co-workers, and then quit your existing job before actively starting to sell the product in the market".

Best case, you quit, your existing employer forgets all about you and the project, and you never cross paths with them again. This would probably be easier if your new product isn't a directly competing project to whatever they do, and if you don't target their existing customer base.

On that last point, I can't emphasize that enough: if you were to go out and target their existing customers (especially if, FSM forbid, you make the mistake of contacting people you are in contact with as part of your current job, or take any emails/phone numbers/etc. from your current job) that would probably draw their ire, and bring down legal wrath, faster than anything to do with the product itself. If you do this, try to focus on selling to a different set of customers if at all possible.

You'll have to be a lot more specific than "ARM" - Most newer ARM systems are little endian in practical operation, and ARM has been "flexible endian" (you can switch between big and little endian - SCTLR has the relevant bits to control the accesses on most recent ARM ISAs) for some long while now.
Painful! But appreciate the tip
This sounds strange to me given the number of guns they confiscate. Go ahead and try to sneak a firearm or an explosive through. Pretty sure they’ll catch you more than 5% of the time. In fact I’m pretty sure they’ll catch a gun every time. And the surface explosive detectors probably are contractually tested and if their failure rates go too high they lose the contract. What acceptable failure rates would you write into that contract? Don’t answer that you’re clearly not a reliable interlocutor. For myself I’d target single digit failure rates. I’d guess the contract says greater than 95% accuracy.
In conclusion: bullshit.
We are objectively special in creating technological civilization with all sorts of cultural artifacts like philosophy that we have no evidence for in other species that have existed on this planet, other than possibly a few of our close hominid relatives.
