I believe it's also a lack of desire for custom rom. Years ago, most manufacturers rom were atrocious so you would flash custom ones but nowadays beside the few Chinese one, most things are 'good enough'. Especially with Samsung one UI, what more could a custom rom bring than oneui doesn't already has?

It's much more active with Chinese phone because their system looks like half ass copy of iOS, and on pixel because you can get grapheneos and others but that's all.

Google didn't need to lock things up, they just needed manufacturer rom to be good enough.
Are you saying if you worked as a programmer in your standard fortune 500 company and wrote fiction on the weekends they own the copyright to the fiction?

I'll plug The University of Texas, specifically the Natural Sciences and Liberal Arts colleges (COLA and CONS). This is because they used to be the same college, and as such have loads of slots for elective courses and often you'll find students from one taking classes in the other college.

I was able to complete degrees in COLA and a CONS simultaneously in four years with one of those four years being study abroad studying one subject to the exclusion of everything else because of it. When I graduated, I had studied two foreign languages and taken elective/upper div courses in poetry, immigration policy, ethics, mathematics, and computer science.

Unless things have drastically changed since I graduated, it still holds true for UT in particular, and is one reason I consider my education to have been so great.
There are certainly problems in the healthcare systems in other countries. I don’t think there’s any perfect system. But if you ask me, “you have to go to the dentist 3 times” is a much better problem than “even people with health insurance go bankrupt regularly as a result of getting ill and needing medical care”.

The US government spends a similar amount of money per person on healthcare as other western countries do. But unlike Europe, Australia, Canada, Japan and so on, people don’t even get free healthcare in exchange for all that tax money. The system is deeply flawed. I don’t know anything about the Japanese healthcare system, but I’d still choose to be sick in Japan than America any day of the week.

My new rule is to never contribute and do my best to avoid using any free software that requires a CLA. Shared copyright ownership is very important to maintaining software freedoms. It makes it impossible for a single party to change the license in ways counter to the communities desires. There have been many recent examples of this sort of bad behavior that have driven this point home for me.

There are many many empty homes in Canada -- in some cases entire "luxury" buildings sit mostly empty. These properties are sold even before they are built to international markets before they are even advertised for sale in Canada (if at all).

Land is valuable investment because the government decided many years ago that it can never decrease in value. It's a cycle: Canadian land value increases due to demand, this causes prices to increase, which increases the demand because it's a good investment. You'd be crazy to invest in business or anything else in Canada other than real estate. It's a sure thing and will give you the highest returns. If you a foreigner moving your money out of your country, even a little bit of loss is acceptable. There's no point in even renting out your property; the gains well exceed any reason to deal with that hassle. This is the reality.

The fact that people have to also live in the these investments is actually the problem! It's Bitcoin that people can sometimes live in. Its use as investment is completely divorced from the income of people living here and that is the problem.

> And if you stop being able to buy the food you want, get clean water, electricity, all that basic societal stuff because it is getting too expensive because there are too few labor sellers, then the land price (in real terms) will reflect that.

That's like saying Bitcoin should be worth nothing because it's useless as currency. I agree. But the reality is that Bitcoin is worth a lot -- just like property in Canada. It already doesn't reflect all that basic societal stuff because it's almost entirely unrelated to it. It should be but it's not.

The employment lawyer I consulted a few years back stated all work done outside office hours is essentially implicit property of your employer in Canada/UK... unless explicitly stated in your employment contract that external unrelated projects are your own.

In most of the US, all work done outside of your employers business is implicitly your own... unless explicitly stated in your employment contract that they have rights to such works.

In general, most commercial businesses won't care unless their IP or resources were misappropriated for a personal project. Best of luck =3
A few books which I enjoyed that are somewhat on the subject of polymathy:

- The Polymath by Waqas Ahmed. This one directly discusses polymathy in history, and how our "natural state" really is of that of the polymath, not the specialist. A nice book that helped me get past some mental blocks and really embrace learning whatever it is I'm interested in, without reservations on what others may think about such "distractions".

- The Creative Way by Rick Rubin. This masterpiece is written by a legendary musical producer who has probably worked with one of your favorite Western musicians at some point. His Zen-inspired approach to creativity and acceptance of ideas, wherever they may come from, is an essential tool in any polymath's toolbox.

- How We Got to Now by Steven Johnson. I really enjoyed learning how the world-changing inventions that we take for granted were often invented by creatively gluing together wildly divergent ideas, to ultimately make something that appears deceptively simple.

The key takeaway for me is that anyone and everyone can be a polymath, with the correct attitude. Learning is not a skill reserved only for the most intelligent and capable - everyone is capable of learning anything they want. Some people may be more naturally skilled, but that doesn't preclude the rest of us from participating.

I’ve previously worked doing technology assessments in the M&A world and copyleft is a big deal there.

I’ve seen it tank entire acquisitions.

Every real world usage of the term I can think of has it in the verbal form: "sentir saudade", "estar com saudade", "dar saudade", "a saudade é grande". Even in the sentence "Saudade" the verb is implied.

In all those cases it can be accurately translated as "to miss".

Ask HN: What makes starter kits useful vs. dead weight?
I’ve been thinking about starter kits (like Next.js templates) and how they’re supposed to save time, but they often feel either too bloated or too basic. What’s your experience with them?

What’s missing that makes them useless or annoying for you? Do you avoid them entirely, and if so, why? What would make a starter kit actually useful?
I’ve yet to work for a company where promotion isn’t a scam anyway compared to job hopping.

You put in way more work than preparing for interviews for a raise that is often less than job hopping.

You want me to grind for two years for a raise when I can just be a C player and get it from someone else with stories about being an A player?
Money has nothing to do with it. The justification for piracy has always been that the original work is still there, so it's not considered theft.

Not only is the original GPLd code still there, the owner of that code didn't have the money in their pocket, so nothing was actually 'stolen'.

It's why I support using GPLd code in proprietary applications. This team just got sloppy and copy/pasted. They should have hired me and I would have made it virtually untracable.

Rolex watches and other luxury names declined in value last year
I live in Australia, and I don’t pay for private health insurance. Last year after travelling to Egypt I ended up in hospital with some gut related issue. I was let straight in from the emergency room. The doctors were great. I stayed overnight in one of the wards hooked up to machines and all that.

I was discharged the next day. I didn’t pay a cent. I didn’t even see a bill. I don’t think they made one.

I keep hearing stories from Americans about wait times in other countries. I’m sure it happens, but I’ve never seen it myself. My experiences with the medical system here has been pretty universally excellent.

When I was in America I was very impressed with how proactive everything is. My insurer paid for yearly physical exams. I’d never done that before. It’s certainly possible I would have even better health outcomes in America. But, I’m way happier here. And I’m a lot less stressed than I was when I lived in the Bay Area. That counts for a lot.

Interesting framing - why is this a bad thing for Dell or the employees? It isn’t like a BS hybrid environment where everyone knows, but it isn’t written anywhere, that being in-office is an important part of career growth.

There are benefits for employees working at home, there are benefits to companies for employees coming to work. Letting people self-select seems like a great way to have a culture that acknowledges the benefits and weaknesses of both modalities.
By the way, that land could produce just under 2 million bushels of corn in a season. Or, 50,000 metric tons of corn.

If you utilize any of the company’s assets or property in its creation then they can argue ownership. For example if you write it on their laptop that you take home on the weekend, or you spend your lunch break at the computer in your office writing it, etc. (this will almost certainly be outlined in your employee contract)

If you write it at home on your personal property during your personal time, then they have as much claim to it as the work you do on your house or the models you paint or the soap you make and sell to your friends… which is none.

However, if it’s work you’re doing in the same industry, then you have to deal with non-compete clauses in your employment agreement depending on what state you live in.

Edit: This is USA law as I understand it (IANAL)

Pretty sure this is wrong. GPL says that if you distribute the binary, you must distribute the sources with it [1]. Modified or not. And not a vague link to the upstream project: the actual sources that were used to build the actual binary you ship.

Then pretty much all licences (permissive or copyleft) require some kind of attribution.

Problem seems to be, what do you do about standard statements (balance sheet, income statement, scfp (statement of changes in financial (cash) position)? This and 'ledger' both seem to have crickets for this.

Accounting is about generating these reports, as this is where the analysis begins.
Do any of the office employees get promoted? Dell hasn't grown much in years, so I assume promotion opportunities are close to zero. Wait around 20 years until your boss retires?
This exchange is fascinating to me, because I still feel like we're talking past each other.

I suppose it could be helpful to think of a job designation such as "software engineer" as sort of a shorthand for "businessperson whose toolbox is one of a software engineer" as long as we're in that employer-employee relationship, and if we want to exclude all the pesky business stuff from our daily doing, it cannot be in the context of that relationship.

This also means that all the usual problems of deficient software craftsmanship, such as inconsistencies, accidental complexity, faults, low velocity, and so on, aren't even problems as far as the employer is concerned as long as there is no impact to the business.

In a way, it's inconsistent of you to be concerned that any of these problems is going to cost the business money. Either you accept the task of deciding what's good or bad for business, or you don't.

Some devs who dislike actually engineering around time, money or risk constraints at work do open source stuff in off hours where that stuff doesn't matter. The one to decide if that's worthwhile to you is yourself. In the context of a business, engineering is simply a requirement to what's actually its goal, which is of course making gobloads of money, consistently, with minimal effort.

One thing that I can see though is that in many of these cases where engineering is asked to work on high-impact issues, engineering doesn't actually have all the information, or the toolset required to draw conclusions from it. In that sense, yes, demanding that from engineers comes across as a bit lazy. Nevertheless, it's not like you have to prove to e.g. Netflix that the service doesn't meet your requirements anymore: the onus is on them, and the same way it's on engineers to prove that their salaries are warranted. Of course, that goes both ways, and your employer can fail to meet your own requirements.

The option to have less agency is one that many employers will gladly grant you, but we are not married to companies, and these arrangements have to make sense for us as individuals as well. Hamstringing ourselves from being able to demonstrate our worth doesn't feel like the correct course of action, even if we care more about our produced engineering artifacts than even its buyer does.
I suspect this is bad for dell because employees called their bluff, Dell would probably be negatively affected by only promoting from half of their talent pool. It's unclear how this is bad for workers, since they didn't "defect" (in a game theorhetic sense)
For a lot of software engineers - especially those of us who are actually senior engineers, not folks who've been working for 2 years since graduation - I don't think a promotion makes sense, anyway. From here, it's Staff or Principal (or management, which is fine for some folks, and anathema to others), and the raise does not justify the amount of effort the next level would require.

A lot of us are happy where we are, level-wise, and if we do want a significant raise, others have pointed out - we're more likely to get it by interviewing, not by getting promoted.

Now, granted, if you're gung-ho and really want the responsibility and the more interesting work that Staff/Principal will give you, fuckin' go nuts - I'm happy there are ambitious folks out there. I just want to do my job and then go play with my kid.

32-bit x86 linux will typically support 3GB per process, with 1GB kernel address area, I think? (Windows did 2GB / 2GB split by default, custom boot options can change it to 3GB / 1GB, but only some 32-bit apps fully supported it, like photoshop).

Also, FWIW, security people can get real bothered that ASLR doesn't do much in 32-bit systems.

So, I think starting around 2GB DRAM, it's probably a "big enough" system to justify a 64-bit OS.
Did you click through to glance through the paper linked? I was hoping the author would posit a causal model, adjust for a few different factors, and have something robust.

100%. I worked at a particularly late age FAANG, at this point advancement was few, far between, and was very, very, easy to predict. And the predictive factors were a toxic stew.

TL;DR: got here first | overworks | never ever does anything that could possibly be construed as challenging authority, such as having original ideas in front of someone ranked higher than you, or trying to help create some semblance of process.

Being absurdly incompetent at writing maintainable code that had serious, consequential, misunderstandings of the material needed to implement it? That's fine.

it's a feature, not a bug, to do just good enough a job to rush exec misunderstandings into prod, as long as anything wrong with it can be dissembled verbally, unless someone else wants to dig into the code.

This would have sounded horribly cynical and bitter and loser-speak when I was younger. Now that I saw it first hand, it clarified for me why people do startups and turnover is high, given it was a $300K/year job if you just show up 20 hours a week, and 40 hours a week for a month or two a year.

Younger me: lesson here is either care, and do a startup, or don't care and do the family and skiing or whatever.

Your plan of "I should go bank money for a few years so I can leave and do my own place safely" panned out great.

Your plan of "wow...standards are this low? People will see it and care, certainly if you're doing extremely impactful work" was completely wrong.
> I prefer to license most works as Apache 2.0, and this ensures people can do whatever they need to get the use-case solved in whatever legal obligation they are encumbered within.

I prefer copyleft licenses, because they ensure that the end user has access to my code :-). I don't do release free work on the Internet to help companies make money out of my work; I want to protect the users.

The great, great thing about Linux being GPL is that Android manufacturers have to share their modified sources, which helps mainlining a lot of hardware.
None of that matters frankly. They make an exorbitant amount of money from ads and that is only growing.
