Hasn’t been my experience on either end of the relationship.
Yeah, that has always confused me. When I first started playing with Linux and BSD, I would see OpenVMS popping up in my searches, only to find that it wasn't actually open.

I'm sure there's legacy reasons for that, but it always sort of annoyed me because I wanted play with it
Yes, it is. I actually have been mulling over a fictional world set in the future where the period between the 20th and 25th centuries is a mysterious time that so little is known about. The story follows a professor who is obsessed with the "Bit Rot Era" and finding out just what happened to that civilization.

I have a prototype first chapter written that cold opens with an archeological dig '...John Li Wei looked up from his field journal where he had just written “No artifacts found in Basement Level 1, Site 46-012-0023”, wiping sweat from his brow. "Did you find something, Arnold?" he asked, his voice weary. "Three days in this godforsaken jungle, and we've got nothing but mud to show for it. Every book in this library’s long since turned to muck.”
Arnold gestured towards the section of the site he had been laboring for the last 30 minutes, digging through layer after layer of brown muck, with fragments of metal hardware that once supported shelving. A glint of metal caught the filtered light.
“Arnold, that’s just another computer case,” John sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly. He could already imagine the corroded metal and the disintegrated components inside. Useless. “Help me pull this out.”
The two men strained against the clinging earth, their boots sinking into the mud with each heave. As they finally wrestled the heavy, corroded metal case free, a piercing shriek cut through the jungle sounds – beep, beep, beep, beep....'
That's the idea of annexing Canada and Greenland, everything in between the poles will be a wasteland in a few decades.

A lot of managers can be automated. Few are making creative decisions that can be replaced by a computer, and smaller teams of managers.
And it would have failed for exactly the same reasons, because just changing the address field size is enough to have everyone who uses BSD Sockets to rewrite all parts of code that create sockets.

Especially since getaddrinfo was ported over from more streams/OSI oriented stacks pretty late, precisely because BSD Sockets required separate path for every protocol.

On hw side, by mid-1990s even changing one routing-important field would mean possibly a new generation of ASICs needed with more capabilities.

Essentially, once you agree to break one field, the costs are so big why not try fixing other parts? Especially given that IETF has rejected an already implemented solution of just going with OSI for layer 3.

A Farewell from Cosmo Music
I really wish they would bring 12 inch MacBook with new M series chip and better keyboard! I’ve tried iPads to see I could get it to work for light browsing and writing when I’m out and about but they feel too limiting.
Regarding really tiny laptops - there actually are some on the market now. All chinese and based on the Pentium N100 or similar. There is the Chuwi Minibook X (10.51"), it gets quite good reviews, and two Topton devices (I think they are the original brand, of the Aliexpress models at least, but I might be wrong), a 7 inch device that looks a little bit like a miniature ThinkPad (model name might be L4) and a newer 8 inch laptop with a rotating screen (P8). If I got that right the Chuwi goes up to 12W, the others only to 6W, which should make a big difference for the processor. But it might be enough anyway for browsing, Youtube, some SSH when a server needs a restart and maybe even some very light coding?

Sadly all of them have spotty Linux support, and a Windows device is no use to me as a travel companion, for which they might be great solutions otherwise.

There is also the GPD Pocket 4 as a high class option, 8.8″, but that's too expensive for me for the few days a year the device might be in use. Similar for the One-Netbook 5, besides that being not in stock. Both of these look like the models the three above copy.

Old netbooks seem to be a no-go, they are all too chunky and weak and can't even play videos in proper resolutions (reviews of the time suggest that Intel managed to equip the later netbooks with a "better" processor that lacked hardware support for video decoding). MacBook Air 11" sounds like a good option at first, but with the huge bezels it's not actually that small, not smaller than a modern 13" Macbook Air, is it? And I'm unclear on how well the old Macbook would work with Linux now.

If I missed a great option, or one of the cheap ones is actually fine with Linux now - though the Chuwi gets new revisions regularly, so that's hard to guarantee - please let me know.
The price of electricity in the UK is because of the price of LNG due to the war in Ukraine. Without North Sea wind power reducing the demand for LNG electricity would be even more expensive.

Misguided and/or naive.

Just remember that "privacy of customer data" is ambiguous, and can be used to mean different things to different people. Some folks think anonymized data is ok. Some people scrutinize the privacy policy and greenlight a product. customers read it and don't know what to think (by design)

As a customer, I don't know who they share my information with. Many or most products on amazon require your name and address (maybe phone number?) to deliver the product.

And I've had companies who've sold me stuff on amazon email me directly on several occasions. I have one email address I've given only to amazon, and the email did not go through an amazon redirector.

One or two rare exceptions over 15 years must account for several bad years, no?

As for giving and getting shit, if you evenly distribute matches over a quadrant of good and bad dev-manager pairings, then 3 out of 4 matches are gonna have a bad time. And even in the top 25% where both devs and managers are good, you can still have a personality mismatch, or other troublesome contextual factors, like your boss's boss, the company's success, the head winds, etc. Work relationships can strengthen or crumble under strain. Of course, the best way to maximize your odds is to do your best to be a good person to work with, but the odds are simply not in your favor in the first place for either party.

"The Best Size of a Laptop"? Sounds like nerd-bait to me. Its exactly the thing that causes scads of comments about what people prefer. It's like whenever there's a comment about 4k monitors comes up, people have varied opinions.
The primary output of managers is not "making creative decisions" in fact that's probably not anywhere close to the top line.

I’m not sure if I follow. It’s been 3 years and Ukraine, with the support of US and EU, has lost significant territory. If US withdraws, EU/Ukraine will clearly be in a very bad situation.

EU currently doesn’t have proper air defense, military and army. It will take at least 5 years to build the required capabilities.
Major reason for that is BSD Sockets and their leaky abstraction that results in hardcoding protocol details in application code.

For a good decade a lot of software had to be slowly patched in every place that made a socket to add v6 support, and sometimes multiple times because getaddrinfo didn't reach everyone early enough.
5G home internet is the preferred in Australia where fibre isn’t present.

Even at my house where I have FTTH, my mobile 5G connection is persistently faster and quicker, that is both bandwidth and latency are superior on my phone from my home location.

Of course, the pricing is structured so you’re better off paying for both, either fixed internet plus mobile phone plane, or fixed 5G and mobile phone plan, depending on what is available at any specific location, but typically not all three options.

Thank you centrally planned infrastructure.

To be fair, OP was talking about the companies' expectations, not the behavior they are incentivizing. Many companies expect their employees to innovate, while implementing processes that prevent innovation. Many companies expect their employees to "take courageous risks" while punishing risk-taking that goes wrong. Many companies expect their employees to "act like they are owners" while giving them no equity or profit sharing.

We had the much more fabulous SCART. But I fear we may be drifting off-topic.
For a long time tech people lived in a bubble believing the idealistic BS spun by Silicon Valley. What we've seen over the last few years is how the mask has come off. There are two factors at play here:

1. The wealthy, and by extension Silicon Valley founders, inevitably end up moving in lockstep with US government policy. Wealthy people inevitably become conservative to protect and grow their wealth. Any idealism is a temporary recruiting tool. Ultimately, all tech companies become defense contractors and end up aiding the surveillance state, repressing speech and supporting gencoide (eg Myanmar); and

2. Transhumanism [1]. I can remember hearing about this from tech people a decade ago. I really had no idea how popular this was (and has become). Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are all transhumanists. The central idea here is "what can I do now to ensure the best future for the gene pool?" And of course all these weirdos think their genes are superior because they're rich. It's why the likes of Elon can't stop having children.

It's not surprising Dataminr (who I'd honestly never heard of until now) is providing material support to repression. This is every tech company.

That would be great, though shouldn't this be adjusted for the number of kids?
I would say absolutely not, for something that is actually run as static. How many websites could run as static, versus the clients that pay for those websites that believe they need to make a change at any time without going back to their web developers? In my experience, most clients rarely change their websites, and often request changes from my employer after having paid for a solution that allows them to have control should they want or need it. Due to this, I still need to run a dynamic website for truly static content.

A large part of this issue is web development being totally foreign to most users, and clients being burned by past developers that disappeared when needed the most, or hit with a large charge for an update that seems to be "simple". This pushes clients to want a solution where they can make the changes, and that leads to a dynamic website for static content. If you were to stop taking this type of business to further privacy, there are probably tens or hundreds of other companies in your own city that will gladly take on the work.

This absolutely is dystopian, but also current reality. Unless you are able to run completely privately online, the Internet as a whole has become dystopian because shutting down bad actors has been thrown into the hands of individuals instead of part of the backbone to how the Internet functions. Just my two cents, as a developer that needs to use these resources, but also runs a VPN on my phone and desktop nearly all the time for privacy (as well as some speed benefits, depending on the VPN provider).
GCP.

There’s been quite a few security related acquisitions in GCP. Someone must believe it to be their edge.
I've got an LG Gram 17-inch laptop that weighs about the same as a 13-inch macbook air.

Having a huge screen on a super-light, super skinny laptop is so handy for portability and all the extra screen real-estate is great for a developer. Its difficult to go back to a 14-inch.

I wish more laptop manufacturers would make ultra-lights with large screens.

It's "open" in the sense of the Open Software Foundation, OPENSTEP, or OpenGL. Back in the pre-CATB days, "open" meant "developed by a consortium rather than a vendor", or perhaps even just "ported to more than one CPU architecture". This latter sense is what is meant in OpenVMS, as it was ported to DEC Alpha CPUs in the mid-90s.
What you describe can be called healthy critical thinking.

The case I mentioned was different, I just described it poorly due to my limited English profficiency and typing on mobile, so you and others suspect the opponent meant reasonable doubts.

Anyways, logical fallacies are ubiquitous. And of the level of the simplest Aristotelian logic, not even requiring first order logic.

An automated tool capturing may probably be useful.

Arguments similar to "bananas are yellow, so if I see something yellow that's a banana" are quite often in politics.

The paper cites some previous studies of fallacies in an online forum and in argumentative essays.

All that code using BSD sockets is rewritten by now to support v6, right? If so, that can't be the reason, cause v4 is still dominant.

And btw, what I suggested would actually work without userspace code changes until you want to start subdividing the /32s. Cause v4 addresses would've still been valid in v6.
I’m pretty sure UK contribution to the CO2 emissions is negligible.

Add it to Google cloud to compete with Microsoft.

Microsoft does have really compelling offering from management PoV. They have Identity Provider, endpoint protection, cloud policy scanning, whole mess of 365 stuff along side their cloud. GCP is probably losing deals to that story.

As Azure Ops person, it’s poorly integrated story sometimes but good story is good story.
SDE, just passed ten years at Amazon; opinions my own, obvs. The three best managers I've worked with in my career have all been at Amazon (you know who you are). Also the three worst (ditto). And the respective bars were pretty [high | low] coming in. Just like everywhere else I've been, it comes down to the individual. Amazon, as far as I can tell, have never tried to homogenize management. Your team delivers? You're in.

>This argument, "People don't really care about <x> ...",

That may definitely be the case sometimes, but I certainly don't mean it like that. By normal person standards, I'm pretty extreme about privacy: no social media, (no, HN doesn't count) pihole, ublock+custom lists, noscript, as few services as possible, frozen credit, DNS resolver rather than a single 3rd party service, etc.

I strongly lament the lack of interest in privacy. The point of my statement is that people can't even be bothered to care about privacy when it costs them nothing. Given this, I can't imagine them actually caring about privacy when it actually inconveniences them. There's just no chance of it. I don't want things to be that way, but it's clear there's nothing I can do about it.

Between pornography ID laws, anti-bot mitigations on websites, and the rise of smart phones + apps, it seems pretty clear that the death of privacy on the internet is just around the corner. And people will welcome it. I'm not happy about this, and may be less happy about it than much of HN. But I think it's pretty inevitable.
Huh, I have one for my personal home network :-) Granted, that is in RIPE. As long as you're multihomed, how can they turn it down?
