> one of the biggest long-standing developers

How many developers does the project have? What is your metric for "biggest?" Just total number of contributions?

> You're complaining that the developers of QEMU themselves

Yep. Do any of them work for any commercial companies? Or are we ignoring that to make an argument of appeals? If they all left would QEMU have zero developers?

> because they think it'll work well for them?

Looking at the set of challenges presented at the bottom of the email and their wiki I'm not sure this idea is well founded. There are more wacky compromises listed than there are good ideas.

If you're just going to push hacks upstream and maintain vendor forks downstream then why wouldn't you just start a new project and bring in whatever bits of C code you need until you can replace them.

I've yet to these efforts actually reduce baggage or show any hope of showing returns on investment inside of a decade of insane effort, which always seems to hamper any further feature or bugfix development, out of fear of interrupting other agonizing "works in progress."

Some of this think this is clearly goofy and can't help but comment on it.
fwiw I wasn't able to drop down the sections on your CV site. I have strict web filtering at work though so may be a problem on my end
Thank you so much for this amazing feedback! These are exactly the kind of features I want to build.

I'll be working on implementing all of these points and will share regular updates on the progress.

Really appreciate your thoughtful suggestions

systemd has tried to alter the kernel in breaking ways for it's own ends plenty of times. it's easy enough to not use and plenty of distributions do so with some effort but it's not as if systemd has had zero consequences on the rest of the ecosystem.
AI can outpaint more images in similar style, then map them to 3D. IMHO, AI should generate a story from the image, then use image + story + location & direction to generate consistent 3D world.
"This form can only be viewed by users in the owner's organisation."
There are some, but a lot of them have very spotty Linux support. In most cases either you're stuck with some ancient kernel provided by the manufacturer, or you're relying on community support from Armbian at best.

Take for example the OrangePi Zero 3[1], which you can get[2] from around $25.

Armbian provides community support status[3], so you're relying on volunteer efforts to provide updates and support. Also drivers for peripheral devices might be missing[4].

There are others, like say the NanoPi Zero2[5][6] for around $20, but again, support might vary. The Zero2 is so new it's not listed on Armbian, and most of the other NanoPi's are under community support.

That said, I've been running some NanoPi ZeroPi's (the Zero2's predecessor) for several years now, without any issues. Just using them for light loads, one is my PiHole for example, but yeah can work great as long as you do a bit of research in terms of what's supported and not.

The colliquial "x86 License" is the AMD-Intel Patent cross-licensing agreement. i.e. All patents related to x86 or any extensions of the ISA are automatically cross-licensed between the companies. While in the past the ISA patent story mostly was leaning in Intel's favor, since AMD64/x86_64 really took off, ISA innovation really became a delicate stack of cards interwoven between Intel and AMD.

So if Intel sells, everyone is fucked until whoever buys can renegotiate the terms of the agreement. And if that's Nvidia, they could just sit dead on the IP and starve AMD of the bulk of their CPU revenue (which is what is keeping the company solvent). And requiring they keep the agreement they currently have would mean requiring AMD to give Nvidia a pretty detailed look at the AMD secret sauce which would increasingly push AMD into the red until they become insolvent, again leading to a Nvidia monopoly.

The US government as well as the EU will not allow that to happen so however things slice, ownership of the x86 ISA patents would not be going to Nvidia.
I don't get what you're trying to say. Most art galleries are businesses. They exhibits artists and artworks that sell. There is nothing un-authentic or dysfunctional about it; to put it more precisely, dysfunctional art galleries won't last very long, just like any other business that offers products that aren't in demand and don't attract buyers.

Are you saying that galleries usually don't last very long and tend to be commercial failures?
My husband was diagnosed of Parkinson’s Disease a couple of years ago, he had severe fatigue, difficulty with mobility and sleeping. He was placed on Sinemet 3 times daily, which helped but only for a short while. So, we decided to try alternative treatment and began on PD-5 protocol, it has made tremendous difference for my husband, he had improved walking balance, muscle strength and he is now very active. His Parkinson’s is totally under control, google binehealthcenter. com. This treatment is a breakthrough for PWP!

I think it's important to distinguish between two directions here: 1) can someone figure out who I am based on my profile and 2) can someone find my profile if they know who I am. I care much more about the second, because the odds of someone attempting the second are much higher.

I read it like so too. I don’t typically respond to emails immediately unless I have my email application open (which I rarely do as I do enjoy time to do deep work). But in the lead up to a big event there is no way I would go radio silent, unless I’m unconscious in the hospital.
> where curious people work together on deep problems

'curious people': people who got jaded by academia and were attracted by the six- to seven-figure salaries at Jane Street.

'deep problems': Buy X units of Y instrument at A exchange, and sell Z units of said instrument at B exchange, and do this often enough that said company makes a pile of money for itself and its employees (mostly itself, given it can afford to pay its employees six to seven figures).
Because you know the people from your industry well enough to hate their guts? :)

> They also catch frogs and mice on regular fields. Don't need to be a bog. That's probably why farmers love them.

Right you are, but still, the natural habitat which they are adapted to with their long legs, beak and neck is wetlands. Of course, if they can find plenty of food in a freshly ploughed field, they will take that too, but so will many other birds (crows etc.).
Thanks, but it really wasn't - it was just the least shit of the top five results for "civil war bioluminescence".

I'd much prefer a more scientific article, especially one that delves into the (let's say) caste system of the bacteria - where one of it's developmental forms is symbiotic with a nematode (?) worm, and the other colonises plant roots.

I'm guessing it was more than likely the plant root form (resident in forest soil) rather than the worm gut symbiote - I doubt they'd've ended up calling it "angel's glow" if the soldiers wounds had been wriggling.

The other thing that puts me off is that it's one of a general class of fawning article about high schoolers, when (for one reason or another) what the child did wasn't really that impressive.

In this case because her mother clearly did her homework for her.

> The idea that business leaders can be ever considered genuine political or cultural voice or actor is the problem. Silicon Valley and hacker culture has created an atmosphere of business politicians and for some reason hackers take them seriously and don't laugh at their faces.

> Traditionally business people don't get into discussions of culture or politics directly. They might work in the background, but never directly. There is a good reason for that.

What is "traditional" for you? East India Company and the VOC (Dutch East Indies Company) conquering lands and colonising people, and directing foreign and military policy for centuries traditional enough?

Stabdard Oil's Rockefeller influenced politics aplently. William Randolph Hearst was the son of a Senator, businessman, newspaper publisher and politician who was among the main causes for a war for colonies. The Dole Company, United Fruit company, Standard Fruit company literally toppled governments and operated death squads, and often had enough influence to get the US marines involved ("War is a Racket" by a Marine general who took part in the banana wars describes this nicely). JFK's father was a businessman who got into politics for his and his family's interests.

In Russia, oligarchs are the ruling class and are politics, and have been for the past 30 years. In the US, you have multiple businesspeople and very rich people in the upcomming cabinet.

South Korea is sometimes jokingly referred to as the Republic of Samsung due to the outsized influence Samsung have on their GDP (22%), with ramifications such as their high level execs getting pardoned of crimes such as bribery of public officials due to the impact it would have on the company and country.

Business has always tried to influence politics in its favour, which often escalated into branching put into politics, often directly.

How so? I've been using arena allocation with the bumpalo crate [1] with great success. I also wrote my own arena allocator for a WASM project, and also wrapped Nginx's memory pool via safe APIs.

I'm not going to claim that writing one correctly is easy... much like writing any low-level allocators, you have to deal with layout, drop order, unsafe cells, etc.

But using them? The lifetimes work great with them. And the allocator trait [2], once released, will make it so std collection types can be used as well.

rustc targets LLVM IR by default, and I daresay the bulk of the optimisation and assembly-lowering work is done in LLVM. Which is solidly C++.
In the former case, yes, not the latter. Real-life scenario: You have a supplier doing both staff outsourcing and material supplies, you have two outstanding invoices in each of those categories, your pending payments in those are tracked separately (for whatever reason), and you do a single bank payment for both.

Anyway, this is just a simple example, but an invoice with VAT on it is IMO the most common example. Or, another one my software support: A bank transaction with embedded banking fees. Some do separate fees, not all. Currency conversion fees are another example.

Don't forget they nearly killed Overwatch by barely supporting Overwatch 1 while they worked on Overwatch 2. But when they finally released Overwatch 2 there were barely any changes from Overwatch 1, except for the season pass system and a switch from 6v6 to 5v5. Apparently most of the development time was spent on single-player content that was first delayed and then cut entirely
Computers are - ignoring emulation and things like that - physical machines that interact with the environment by reading inputs and writing outputs - reading whether the space bar is pressed and making a pixel on the screen light up red. While their function is fixed at the lowest level - how they process individual instructions due to their physical circuits - they are highly configurable machines, they have billions of capacitors or magnetic domains that you can charge and discharge or align one way or another in order to control what exactly the machine does, how it translates inputs to outputs.

Software - in the broadest sense - then is a description of how to configure a computer to achieve a certain input output behavior. It exists as a continuum of abstractness, from the idea in ones head, over the specification in a Word document, to the source code on GitHub, and the compilation result for a specific architecture on a flash drive. It is substrate independent, you can have the source code in your mind, store it on disk, or you can print it out. It is quite malleable, you can change it quite a bit without substantially altering it, at least at the more abstract end of the spectrum.

Where you draw the boundary between Windows 7 and not Windows 7 seems pretty arbitrary, that is just a label. Is the concept in your head already Windows 7? Maybe. How many changes are you willing to do before you decide to call it Windows 8? Arbitrary decision. Does an added comment in the source make a new revision? If you want to. There will always be some tension between the abstract description of what Windows 7 is supposed to do and the concrete implementation of that ideas - including details like the formatting of the source code - and I do not see that we have to gain much be trying to precisely define where the borders are. That seems like trying to nail down where blue turns into green.
Thus, it follows that the polar opposite of a castle is a baby bird

Qed
It doesn't matter who I like. I am not in any type of personal relationship with these people, so it makes no sense to "like" or "hate" them anyway. It matters whose incentives are aligned with mine. It's also not smart to assume you would like someone else better just because you don't know them.
Initially I thought, “Hey now, That’s not fair to the law.”, but I got what you meant - yes.

There’s norms, case history, and the actual written law.

This reads like a violation of social norms where a smaller startup faced retaliation ( repercussions? ), and then had the ability to counter the pressure.
I can sympathise, cisco anyconnect is a massive massive dick to use.

I think the difference between cancel culture and just freedom of association is the difference between "I don't want to work with you because of X" and "I'm going to influence others not to work with you because of X". Whether that be anons on twitter calling up your employer to get you fired, or PG having a quiet work with his friends over at some VC firm, they're both the same strain of toxic.
> in point 3, he says he can predict which exhibition will be great based on how easy it is to work with the artist

I strongly assumed that bit was about him predicting whether each exhibition would be "great" from the gallery's perspective - in terms of attendance or revenue or whatever metrics they used. It's not spelled out, but since the whole piece is about him focusing on the business and ops side of things, that bit probably was as well.
I do wonder if the command line will get a new generation of users with more tools like this that make systems more accessible.

Our bet with a similar tool (getdot.ai) is that the shift goes into existing communication tools (Slack, etc.), but CLI is an interface I personally enjoy.

Why startups exist

Startups exists to find a solution to a problem someone has, and then to build a product around it. Ideally that problem is not being addressed well for a certain group of people, and there is a chance to improve the lives of those people in a way that makes money.

Essentially, there need to be:

enough customers out there, that
you are able to reach with a
big enough problem that is
worth them paying you to solve it that
you are capable of solving.

You'd expect a rewrite to take less time than development of the original system from scratch. So I'm not sure this is actually as favorable a result for Rust as it's presented.
The difference is the first party development and support. The OpenWrt One is the first device to have it. The One is the first device to be developed to have native support for OpenWrt and in fact run it with no changes. That’s also part of the difference. The other devices are unsupported when running “third party” firmware, which would be OpenWrt is that case.

OpenWrt is saying “this is the first router made for us, by us,” and I agree with them. Nothing you have said above discounts that or changes the truth of that statement.
My experience was the opposite (or at least: not worse than the stock firmware, or than most routers running OpenWRT), but there are a lot of confounding variables that'd affect that difference in experience - namely, a silent hardware revision that broke things for awhile.
I'm saying:

Talking to a guy in an arts festival booth, the conversation is usually about the art.

Talking to a guy in a gallery (in the US, that sells art for other people), the conversation is usually about me (sizing up a sales prospect).

Note that galleries I'm talking about are for-profit - selling people's artwork and paying the rent. If you do talk to the artist, it is some artist-attends gathering and there are a lot of other people talking to the frazzled artist too.

the gallery in the article seems different, it is a community coop and might have a different dynamic.
