A country that tears up an agreement it renegotiated and signed four years earlier over spurious claims* isn't a friend and isn't to be trusted.

Sure, the dairy carveouts - which the US and Trump agreed to, again, just four years ago - are stupid artifacts of a farmers lobby group, but threatening to blow up our economy on a whim makes the US unfriendly and untrustworthy. Doing all that while the leader repeatedly says they want to annex our country by economic force and make us a state turns things from untrustworthy to adversary.

If trump wanted free trade to end, he may have gotten it, because a huge amount of the trust that underlay the north american economy is gone now. If you're cheering that on because the number of eggs your dairy farmers are able to export is under a quota, then I can only say your point of view is far too limited.

Pi and mainline kernel support has been a thorn since the OG Pi. Usually they get barebones support and then drip-feed in patches from folks who can be bothered enough to upstream it

The Pi foundation meanwhile just has the `rpi-kernel` fork on github and pretends nothing is wrong with doing it that way

one that you would trust the lives of thousands of humans to every day? It seems unlikely we are anywhere close to a point where we can ensure that any AI won't hallucinate and cause an issue.
I doubt it was propaganda. If you look at the polls, the most important issues have been the economy, the immigration and the violent crime. All 3 of which have been absolutely disastrous for the Biden/Harris administration.

And people voted accordingly, and correctly.

Biden's approval rating is 39%, disapproval at 58%.

Outside of the DB: some kind of queue.

Could be a SQS or an in memory queue in your app (hand waves about mutiple nodes but that can be dealt with or use redis). Have a single processor that aggregates and does writes. You can use DLQ if something goes wrong to avoid data loss.

Inside the DB maybe just append rows for each add to a table without indexes. That way the engine probably just needs to write out a journal record and append but doesn't spend time on updating indexes. Then periodically read all from the table and aggregate into another. You could cycle between 2 tables.

These is eventually consistent in aggregations but transactional in source of truth. I.e. if you write you can be sure the data is stored, but may take time to aggregate.

Or Use a more exotic DB. That is distributed but still supports transactions.

The magic market fairy godmother has decided that TVs with built in ads and spyware are good for you. The market fairy thinks this is so good for you that there are no longer any alternatives to a smart TV besides "no tv"

The market fairy has also decided that medication commercials on TV is good for you. That your car should report your location, speed, and driving habits to your insurer, car manufacturer, and their 983,764 partners at all times.

Maximally beneficial indeed.
I don't think that's really a factor, because realistically the world is FAR from having any form of suffering eradicated. At best, most of what we can do is a good faith attempt to minimize suffering, and even that's incredibly difficult to do at scale.
I'm surprised no one posted this: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2004/06/13/how-microsoft-lost...

Joel Spolsky was on the Excel team at MS, and was the lead on VBA. He prudently couches his doomsaying with this disclaimer:

> Microsoft has an incredible amount of cash money in the bank and is still incredibly profitable. It has a long way to fall. It could do everything wrong for a decade before it started to be in remote danger, and you never know… they could reinvent themselves as a shaved-ice company at the last minute. So don’t be so quick to write them off

The difference is about 250k/yr. Kinda big.
> No, I appreciate learning their stance on it because now I know they do actually stand by the values that are posted on their website, and I know that I won’t need to be looking for an alternative Linux distribution.

This fits my description exactly. You gained no useful information from this announcement, and you will change nothing in your behaviour as a result of it. The only thing which this announcement gave you is a nice fuzzy feeling of validation.

> Yes, they are.

Compared to what Debian could have reasonably done – i.e. post the announcement to the actual X account which Debian is closing – announcing to the entire world that Debian no will longer post to X is announcing to the subset of the world which does not use or read X.

> How so?

It is giving people warm fuzzy feelings of being vindicated in their beliefs, when these specific beliefs are not, IMHO, relevant for Debian.

> Human rights are not a political issue, and a site that is run by, staffed by, and platforms people who wish to take away human rights should be shunned, loudly and often.

That ”or platforms” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. By this reasoning, anyone using the internet, or the web, at all is implicitly supporting a platform used by a lot of unpleasant people with unsavory beliefs. Or if the internet is too big, how about Google? Should Google be “shunned” if they don’t black-hole certain sites and beliefs in Google’s search results? Should Google Maps remove all references to unwanted people or businesses? Should Cloudflare be held liable for every site Cloudflare provides DDoS protection for? How about hosting providers? Internet service providers who provide peering with any of the above? Your list of people to shun grows long very quickly. Not to mention that of you do get your way, once the mechanisms have been put in place, they will easily turn on a dime to suppress your beliefs instead.

Also, why should Debian, specifically, take on the public advocacy role against X? Debian is not supposed to advocate for every single thing which you think is good – Debian is supposed to restrict their advocacy to issues relevant to Debian.

That doesn't seem to have happened, it looks like Rubio is now in charge of it. So again, how is this a coup?
Linux on the desktop is irrelevant in the same way that a carpenter’s home woodworking projects are irrelevant. I mean they are but that’s sort of beside the point, right?

Good to know! I guess the "innovative" part was being able to apply these semantics on top of git without breaking compatibility.
The whole green bubble thing has got to be one of the stupidest status symbol things I've seen in a long time. Though I have no doubt there are many of them. If anything, it's maybe a good life lesson that many supposed status symbols are breathtakingly stupid to care about.
I have always believed that the role of a bureaucracy is to make changes slow. In the far extreme, it leads to red-taping, corruption, and obscurity and presumably that's why one's first response would always be to advocate for more efficiency and cuts. However, there's a reason that virtually every bureaucracy in this planet is slow. Not one, not two, but all of them are not designed, rather devolve over time to such a state. The reason is that any change you make at such a level has tremendous consequences flowing downstream to every single level so you need time to plan, review, and document (for accountability) such changes. Plainly, that's not happening right now. I just wish that people who were doing this would stop and think for a while on the difference between the consequence of tanking a social media company versus tanking a government. I sure would be glad to be proved wrong and see it all work out though.
What is Googs going to do, leave money on the table?

And if Googs doesn't do it, someone else will, so it might as well be them that makes money for their shareholders. Technically, couldn't activist shareholders come together and claim by not going after this market the leadership should be replaced for those that would? After all, share prices is the only metric that matters
Having seen companies go bust and then the employees discovered their pension was invested in now worthless company stock I oppose all schemes to get people to invest in their own company without having significant control over the direction. (I didn't directly see this - it was before I was born but I meet a relative who worked there for 20 years) Pension laws now do not allow pensions to invest in company stock like that. Everyone I know who has worked for an employee owned company talks about how much $$$ they have in the company now - none have any other retirement plan and I can't help but think how bad they would be hurt if things went wrong.

If you are not Cxx level at a company or at least in a high role with a reasonable shot of getting to a Cxx position in the near future don't put your money in the company you work for. Diversity is important in investing and the company you work for is the least diverse of all investment options since you could lose both your savings and your paycheck at the same time.

> The numbers look very low so far (20k?).

I saw that, and it immediately made me realize that it's sort of not a useful number without context. Are those 20k spread roughly evenly across the government, or are there places where everyone quit? I am sure there are parts of government that will cease to function if the wrong 500 people suddenly quit.
Yes, but not "all of a sudden". Mind you that Edward Snowden blew the whistle in nearly 12 years ago.

I know using the phone can be uncomfortable if you don't do it often and that's okay. It gets easier the more you do it, and you don't need to word everything perfectly. The important thing is that you get your point across. "My name is x, I live in county y, and I'm calling to say I expect a yes/no vote on issue z."
The problem is that a company has nothing to do with a country, the goal isn't to have a positive balance at the end of the excel spreadsheet
Which is surprisingly common to not exist. For example my Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones where acting a bit funny so I decided to do a software update. The only supported way is via their app. The just mention the name. So I have to search the name, be very careful not to click an ad, and hope that I clicked the right one.

It shocks me that people don't provide links, how do I know to trust the app? With this behaviour being "standard" it is unsurprising how often people download malware.
Curious as to how the Nazi salute thing is seen by you? Just a little forgivable misstep?
Absolutely no legal weight.

However, when you change a promise publicly, you signal a change in direction. It is much more honest than leaving it in place but violating it behind the scenes. If the public really cares, they can pass a law via their democratic representatives (or Google can swear a public oath before God I suppose).
This is super fun! I've been upset all day because the news is depressing, but this is a little ray of sunshine that I think I could enjoy.

Thousands of miles of border isn’t actually the issue here. How many people are crossing the Korean DMZ each year without South Korea noticing?

Adjusted for population size and it’s roughly half the length of the US/Mexico land border and it’s designed for military incursion via tanks not just people in a pickup truck.

Similarly the amount of money spent on inspecting imports is well under 1% of the total value of said imports. It’s possible to inspect literally every package crossing the border, we just don’t want to.
> the U.S. needs every advantage it can get to improve its defense

That’s one of the reasons for the turbulent times.
Let’s face the truth, most of the defense can easily be used for offense and given the state of online security every progress gets into the wrong hands.

Maybe it’s time to pause to make it more difficult for those wrong hands.
Ah, so it won't help the economy. Funny how you've moved the goalpost so far that you're now arguing against your own claim.
> I was looking for a replacement for C, but Rust is actually a replacement for C++. Totally different beast - powerful but complex.

I've seen this sentiment a lot, and I have to say it's always puzzled me. The difference between Rust and basically any other popular language is that the former has memory safety without GC†. The difference between C++ and C is that the former is a large multi-paradigm language, while the latter is a minimalist language. These are completely different axes.

There is no corresponding popular replacement for C that's more minimalist than Rust and memory safe.

† Reference counting is a form of garbage collection.
