Because healthcare and health insurance isn't about creating more health and reducing sickness. Remember, we instantiated a healthcare system and industry in an environment and structure which rewards investment, capital growth, and rent-seeking. It's the same conflict of interest dating apps have with their customers. Remember, you are on a human farm and all of this is a system of getting you to do something to get satisfaction or survive, and that your EV is [even just a little] negative so that the aggregate of your life actions, and the aggregate of all your neighbors' life actions, generally produces a positive EV for the administrative class (cream to skim).

The healthcare system can easily settle to a local Nash that increases revenue at the expense of our original goals.

A recurring theme you'll encounter across most of Apple's products is that any feature that forces first-party Apple software to compete on fair terms with other products is conspicuously missing.

Probably the latter scenario. Its a hypothetical - but it could happen if health records move increasingly online and if enough patients demand that level of control.

I've slowly started getting back to desktop Linux, and honestly Motif (mwm) is fine for my needs. Maybe fvwm would be slightly better.

If I where to do my career over, I'd consider going for C++ and Win32, it seems like a stable performant platform (I get that there's other problems on modern Windows).

No, I think the story is that it's an incredible thing to implement a prime test in a regex. It was a pretty neat thing 20+ years ago when I first saw it and I reckon it's still pretty neat.

Gravwell | Go developer | REMOTE (US) | https://www.gravwell.io/

Gravwell is a Splunk competitor, a data aggregation and analysis platform that can ingest hundreds of terabytes a day with ease. Our product is offered both on-prem and as a hosted cloud service. It's written from the ground up in Go, with many open-source components.

We're looking for a skilled Go developer who's done more than just REST APIs (although that's part of the job). A well-qualified candidate should be deeply familiar with Linux at the syscall level, have some understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of various filesystems, and be well-versed in networking. If you know your way around /proc, if you've got horror stories about EBS performance, if you remember and mourn Go netchans, send us your resume. This is not an AI position, but experience in traditional machine learning and/or LLMs is a bonus.

The company is fully distributed, so don't worry about any RTO mandate -- we don't have an office. Travel for developers is minimal. Developers are periodically scheduled for second-tier on-call support.

Specially because Apple seems to not care much about the project even after current progress.

m3 support still not there (let alone m4) because things broke. Which is expected from Apple, they are just doing their thing and improving their products.

If they cared they would have at least hired these people by now. It wouldn't make a dent in their budget.
They also have the advantage that they could break software compatibility with the M1, e.g. using 16 kB pages and 128 byte cache blocks.

It is an inspirational demonstration of the hacker spirit and a way for the individuals involved to both expand their technical abilities and demonstrate them to prospective employers.

I personally consider it very inspirational though I recognize that I will probably never be able to undertake such a difficult task. I can imagine that it is very inspirational to the next generation of extremely proficient and dedicated teens who want to master software development and explore leading edge hardware.
My secret has just been consistently going to bed and getting up at the same time as my wife, who is not a night owl, every night. Some nights are frustrating and take me longer to fall asleep, most mornings I feel bit groggy, and I'm overall not thrilled with my experience with sleep, but I'm able to keep a consistent schedule without rubberbanding amounts of sleep, I'm rarely truly exhausted during the day, and my waking hours overlaps consistently with society and businesses.

It's certainly an imperfect compromise, but it works well enough.
In enterprise settings 12 years is not quite enough. There are racks of boxen set up with custom software targeting a particular distro version and there is no money or value in making changes to make it compatible with something newer.

Hardware gets upgraded on 5-7 year cycles, but the software… isn’t happening.

That's a rather incomplete, revisionist and rose tinted glasses view of the history of native vs web apps in iPhone.

I lived for a few years in 21m². It was nice, very central Helsinki, well thought-out layout. When I wasn't living alone, we upgraded to 30m². Even better layout, in multiple levels. In effect you had a separated bedroom, living room, dining room, and bathroom.

In Berlin we had 60m², which was a ridiculous amount of space. Enough to host multiple guests.

Now we live on a 9.3m long sailboat. Square meters are a bit difficult to calculate. Maybe 16m² for the interior space?
re: PanGui, it seems nice but the fact that they don't even have "accessibility" in their docs means it really shouldn't become widely used until they address that. It would be a big step backwards and one that is unacceptable in these modern times.

Unfortunately, the way they've designed it without accessibility in mind from the start means it's unlikely ever to be anything other than an after thought.

Additionally, it's pretty obvious that many products wouldn't see price increases proportional to wage increases.

This is especially true the higher the production volume / economies of scale. Imagine a burger joint where a worker pushes out a measley dozen burgers in an hour (I'd be surprised if volumes for most places are this low, but let's imagine). So, 5 min per burger.

At fed minimum wage of $7.25/hr, labor costs for those burgers are about 60 cents. A cheap burger is $2 right now, $3-$5 is much more typical. So even at output volumes as low as a dozen per hour, non-labor costs are a much greater portion of each of these burgers, like 70%-90%.

Double that minimum wage to $15/hr and assume all the cost is passed onto consumers and the price of these dozen burgers goes up by 65 cents. OK, let's assume a complete separation of cooking and register/order duties that requires at least two workers per dozen burgers per hour. We might see an increase of $2 per burger.

And since most people can't eat a dozen burgers an hour (much less the likely much higher output of burgers), a doubling of minimum wage far outpaces whatever price increase is passed on.

This is a simple model but even if you get more complicated, the outcome isn't much different. Generally speaking, even at economies of scale as low as a dozen per hour, wage increases outpace necessary price increases.

Where do wage increases contribute to dramatically increased costs? Lower volume high focus work where skilled labor is most of the cost of producing the product, but generally markets have long since decided these people get paid much more than minimum wage, so minimum wage increases have no effect here.

There's also the case where each unit requires a large team of labor. This tends to be at least semi-skilled in construction / fabrication / manufacturing where labor demands have long since left a legal wage floor behind.

The real question is why the misconception that minimum wage increases result in broad upward price spirals is so common when you can figure out why that's unlikely with math most people have learned by the time they're teenagers.

(I do think there's a good argument that labor markets are so thoroughly regional that it's probably better to have legal wage floors be set at the state and county level, but there's no reason a federal law couldn't be indexed off of local indicators with local guidance.)

It will keep evolving until it's faced with a situation where it just can't move on the correct direction. Probably because of some social reason, not a technical one.

It's hard to imagine this happening to Linux in particular because it's ridiculously flexible. But things always change.
BuddyBuild was acquired by Apple and used for their server CI platform, almost immediately cutting off Android support. That was a shame because it was a great platform for Android builds.

1. Even if one loves macOS, Apple doesn't support its hardware forever. Being able to run an alternative operating system on unsupported hardware helps extends that device's useful life. My 2013 Mac Pro is now unsupported, but I could install Linux on it and thus run up-to-date software.

The value of LTS, and the reason companies spend tonnes of money on support contracts for those 12 years, is exactly this though: the set of libraries shipped in 26.04 will still be supported 12 years later without major backward incompatible changes. The very reason people would pay to keep using 26.04 in the mid 2030s and beyond would be that the software they built or bought in 2026 keeps working, typically without even having to recompile.

You may argue that those customers should just update their software to use new versions of libraries or frameworks or replace discontinued libraries with new ones, or pester their vendor to do those things, or pay a bunch of money to consultancy companies to do those things; and you may well be right, but as long as those companies won't do that and are willing to instead pay Canonical, why wouldn't Canonical accept the money?

You make some interesting points, but not MMT. It's actually quite an easy view to fall into which I also did for a bit based on a few, but nowhere near enough, snippets of MMT along with much prior baggage.

The core point of MMT is that monetarily sovereign states should primarily consider the resources available to buy with little to no consideration of the financial side, since such states are never financially constrained. The focus of the government then is all about making sure such resources are properly managed. That means the primary role of taxation is to free resources (read people) that can be purchased. It recognises a potential cause of inflation is a lack of things the state needs being available to purchase by the state leading the state to out-compete the private sector using its greater financial power.

Conversely, if things are available to buy, then the state can use its financial might to buy up those things. This is most notable in the primary policy prescription of MMT of the Job Guarantee - acting as an employer of last resort and providing a job to anyone that wants one (and in the process, rendering the minimum wage somewhat moot). The JG is especially interesting when you realise what you're actually doing is anchoring the value of the currency to X units per hour of unskilled labour. At that point, spending is all relative to that price anchor. Things can and should float relative to it in response to supply and demand, but that fundamentally the JG wage is the financial control point.

It's kind of funny how little consideration is given in the mainstream to establishing a proper value for the currency given how much hand-wringing is performed over inflation fears.
You think that's bad? Imagine how much churn there is because NVIDIA doesn't have open source drivers. I'll actually do you one better: part of my PhD was working around issues in Vivado.
