And how much money was made off of companies that were created to support cryptocurrencies?

Does anyone around here know of any?

Bueller?
This actually is kind of cool imo. There are things I like about systemd, and things I don’t. And this seems to fit much more closely around the things liked. Wish I had the time to play more with it on Linux. Would love to see Debian switch to something like this. Always felt like Debian was stuck between “all in” or “go without”. This would have been a nice middle ground choice to have had back in those days.
> Elon and Trump are sitting in the whitehouse asking Grok what to

Not perhaps Elon or Trump themselves (doubt Trump can actually use a computer), but it could very well be one of the teens like the so-called "Big Balls" that apparently have their hands in everything.

> This level of hyperbole is why reading about anything to do with the two of them is really exhausting

Almost as exhausting as their daily actions / tweets / rants.
You can derive it from the fact that there's no feasible way to get such uniform (and cute) image data for every food item.

Though I want to add that this is a good application of AI image gen since the images are useful for quick visual confirmation that the item is in the same ballpark of the thing that you think it is.
> Dartmouth is smaller

Yale and Dartmouth are similar in student body size, yet Yale has been hit by investigations [0] while Dartmouth has been spared.

Take a look at Rebus https://github.com/rebus-org/Rebus
Nuclear startups are planning to recycle spent fuel and use it to power reactors. Advocates say recycling will curb nuclear waste, but critics warn it will yield materials that could be used in nuclear weapons.
Op is implying that there's excess labor lying around that with moderate prices (say, what you make in fields like construction, electrical work, etc.,) would be picked up. This isn't the case, or they'd already be taking the jobs in those fields that are relatively in demand.

I agree that if you paid people as much as software engineers to work in a factory you would certainly see disruptions in the labor market. I don't know what the market clearing price would be for factory labor sufficient to meet the US demand, but I don't think it'll be pretty.
If they're the average, then why call them out as specific examples?
If you'll find an app like this, try to do an experiment: estimate calories by taking a picture, then add 30g of olive oil (270 kcal) to the same dish and see if the app will detect it.
No, because it is far more expensive to domestically produce our own products. I would rather not have a huge increase in the cost of living.
Use that from home or a mobile phone connection?

You probably aren't supposed to update your personal website and stuff when you are working for your company anyway.
Humble bundle uses steam keys, so they are working in tandem regardless.

That said: enforcement on such things is not going to be 100%. Larger companies will either be purposefully ignores or make their own internal deals and contracts to follow. Some smaller games will slip through like everything else in life (Valve can still let Malware slip in once in a blue moon. I'm not surprised you can find some niche Japanese game sold for cheaper on DLsite or wherever).

But the point is that they can push thst in devs because of the monopoly. And that's how you get stuff like the Wolfire lawsuit when a few people do push back.

I think this is the principle-agent problem at work. Managers/executives who don't understand what programmers do believing that programmers can be easily replaced. Why wouldn't LLM vendors offer to sell it to them?

I pity the programmers of the future who will be tasked with maintaining the gargantuan mess these things end up creating.
I can't tell from his quote if he means "entrepreneurs" and I think of that as founders and folks with lots of skin in the game ... or if he means everyone like some code drone who comes on later.

I do kinda get this concept as it applies to founders to SOME extent.

> Isn't beauty in the eyes of the beholder though?

This is a truism, and I don't even think it's that accurate. There are some universal aspects to our perception of beauty such as symmetry, balance, tension-and-release, contrast, recursion... whatever it may be. We don't need to know what it is to tell that it's there.
systemd is good. Also enjoyed SMF with Solaris.

Maybe the best way to manage operating system services might be something else than bunch of scripts envisioned in the 70s.

Let me type more than a letter maybe? On safari I get results after typing a single letter but I would like to spell out the entire word. Probably a bug
The OpenNutrition app does that :)

Logging foods by image is a great way to get started being accountable with eating, and I'll use it if I'm out and don't want to manually figure out all the different components of something, but it's impossible for even the most well-trained human eye to understand food composition visually. A lot of AI-focused diet apps have gone in this direction as their primary method of input because it removes the need for a database, but the marketing these apps run that this is in anyway accurate as a primary search mechanism is, to me, really borders on abject dishonesty and sets users up for long-term failure. Just because an ingredient is invisible when prepared doesn't mean it's not there.

Tarifs.
Maybe Russia, that's the only country which has not been slapped with tariffs. Apart from Russia, there are nuances. There are peaceful enemies like the EU, Canada, Australia etc. and there are threatening enemies like the Houthis or Iran.
This has been termed "sane washing" and is extremely irritating: smart media people reverse engineering a vaguely plausible logic from the regime's actions when on closer inspection they never gave said logic as their reasoning.
>Why is the existence of the largest games on the market's survival proof thst Steam doesn't own 90% marketshare?

It's proof that what the parent commenter said, the portion I explicitly quoted, is an exaggeration.

>Btw, based on my friend Bazaar still has its own balance issues arising every other patch.

I mean, sure. Can you name any competitive game that doesn't have balance issues? I can't. What matters to me is the iteration speed to address balance issues, which The Bazaar does at a really nice cadence.
You forget that the US company would be taxed more in its profit to make up for the absence of an US VAT.

Whereas EU companies don’t pay other US taxes.
They thought "Well, I guess this makes me one of those people for whom "Not talking about politics with Friends" becomes a core tenent to my personal philosophy."
I was just talking last night about how ironically the things Trump is doing fall not to far from what Bernie bros have dreamed of. Heavy tariffs and no income tax is pretty much the conservative version of liberal hand outs.
Pakistan has 58% tariffs on the US.

Fair enough. Yale has more/bigger grad schools--though Dartmouth has tended to expand in that respect (though it doesn't have a law school).
Python went through a massive effort to add support for type annotations due to user demand.

Similarly, there's great demand for a typed layer on top of Javascript:

- Macromedia: (2000) ActionScript

- Google: (2006) GWT [Compiling Java to JS], and (2011) Dart

- Microsoft: (2012) Typescript
The strange thing I find is that Trump is not going after the companies who were the ones that decided to move production to China in the first place.
This is such an important point. Lumping all "manufacturing" together obscures that some production is low-cost goods like matches and socks. Other production is 787s and F-150s.

What the administration is suggesting is that we resume manufacturing low-cost goods. I'm not sure where they would plan to get the labor for that.
I'm not the one making unbelievable statements. Were you one of those people who said there was no inflation at all until the last possible moment?
This book is written at a pretty low level, so I wonder about the lack of worked examples and motivation. The classical diagram for aliasing of a time-domain sine function is shown, but the frequency domain is not. I don’t think we see a spectra plotted until the chapter on digital signals at the end.

Are there a lot of people out there who know what integrals are and are comfortable reading them, but need a refresher on complex number arithmetic?
If you’re aiming to be a "rogue" OSS contributor—essentially an independent developer thriving off open-source work—you’ll need a mix of strategy, skill, and visibility. Here’s how you can make it work:

Bounties & Sponsored Issues – Platforms like GitHub Sponsors, Bountysource, and Gitcoin offer paid opportunities to fix issues, build features, or improve security in open-source projects. Prioritize projects with active communities and funding.

Donations & Sponsorships – Set up GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective, or Patreon. This requires consistently contributing to high-impact projects and building a personal brand around your work.

Hackathons & Grants – Many OSS-focused hackathons and grants (like those from Mozilla, Linux Foundation, or NLnet) provide funding for impactful contributions. Target projects that align with grant programs.

Freelance Consulting & Custom Features – Companies often use open-source software but need custom solutions. If you’re an active contributor, businesses may pay for enhancements, bug fixes, or integration support.

Crowdfunding Specific OSS Projects – If you build something valuable (like a plugin, CLI tool, or framework extension), you can crowdfund its development via Kickstarter or similar platforms.

Merge-First Mindset – The key to sustaining this lifestyle is ensuring your PRs actually get merged. Engage with maintainers, follow their contribution guidelines, and build a reputation for delivering high-quality, non-disruptive code.

Content & Community Engagement – Write blogs, create tutorials, or host livestreams showcasing your contributions. Visibility brings opportunities.

It’s not the easiest path, but if you have the skills and discipline, you can make a living while staying independent.
This. It’s the primary feature of the long term plan.
How is this similar to and different from OpenFoodFacts?
Those giant university endowments are partially used to allow those who couldn't afford it but otherwise have shown they have what the university is looking for in students to attend for significantly/entirely reduced costs. Meanwhile, the most visible billionaires are using their money to try to buy elections so they can dismantle the government for personal gain while oftentimes employing people with such low wages that they depend on the government to be able to afford such luxuries as eating three meals a day. It's pretty easy to see why the large parts of the public find one acceptable and the other less acceptable.
out of touch and/or virtue signaling
IDK if I agree with you, since in theory modern socialism tries to spread power, although it never quite worked like that in history. Maybe that's an utopia.

> A capitalist democratic society is about the only type I know of that tries to separate money and power.

But when I read this I can't help but think the same utopia is under capitalism.

In theory there's a separation. In reality billionaires can purchase politicians, media, etc. and get power through those means. I have never seen an example of this not happening.

If there were any effective ways of stopping money from meddling with power I'd agree with you but reality always smacks theories in the face. You say it tries to separate them but then you have lobbying (or the non-legal version of it) in every government as an example. It's an utopia just the same.
It really also depends on how a product is imported. Is dairy imported into Canada as a ready to sell retail product, or as bulk 'raw material' for local companies to turn into consumer products. In the latter case the tariff is less significant to the final price since most of the price the end user sees are local markups rather than the cost of the raw ingredient.
Do you ever have any trouble at airports? The one time I ever had grief at an airport was a few years ago travelling with an X230 with the larger battery pack. Security seemed extremely suspicious of such an old laptop and I got stopped again later by a plain clothes security guy.
Jobs is not the same as production. Many of the jobs are lost due to automation. If you bring manufacturing back to the US you’ll be “hiring” a lot more robuts than humans.
How will adding a tax to every single consumer good benefit his base?
I’ve been using my 10-year-old ThinkPad X250 and a decade-old workstation without feeling any need to upgrade. However, the possibility of running powerful local LLMs that require a lot of GPU or unified memory has finally increased my interest. It's my impression that laptops likely won’t see the major leap required in that area to run truely large LLMs for another 5–10 years, but I expect workstation capabilities to advance more rapidly, meaning I may upgrade in the next 1–3 years.

My current workstation setup includes 22cores/44threads decade old xeon plus four decade old Titan X GPUs with a total of 48GB VRAM, which is enough to run a decent local AI model, but I’m finally wanting more capacity. I haven’t been this interested to upgrade in a decade. NVIDIA’s new DGX-class offerings might convince me, depending on pricing and supply, although waiting a few more years to let things stabilize could be what I do. Still, it’s an exciting time for hardware, especially now that there’s a tangible reason to invest in more power for local AI.
If he's talking about people working on their own businesses, that's an entirely different thing and my comment is wildly off the mark. I guess I didn't consider the possibility because most entrepreneurs don't need to to be told that, plus because he's a LinkedIn cofounder.
Has Dan ever commented on whether the "dang" pronunciation was intentional? I too, was under the impression he just liked the twanginess of the word.

I have people call me Joenot - in reality, this username was chosen decades ago by my mother, pairing Joe (my name) and Not(tawa) - my tiny hometown.

Sometimes I wish I'd chosen better but like many names, once it's out there, it tends to stick.
By subsidizing aspects such as schools, police and other govermental institutions a basic payout / investions to the public is already in place. Expanding this to other basic rights would be reasonable and prevent a lot of social problems that will only heavily increase in the future. And im not talking about the country that currently abolishes all good reason and gambles with social security. Basic aspects such as shelter, food and personal security should be given as a basic right.
LA, LA, LAsputin…
That's some US cultural thing, i think. Possibly because you only have two real political options.

If we're philosophising, the isolated suburb life style precludes having a friend group and forces humans - because they need to belong - into tribal allegiances towards larger groups: political, sports fans, some church, Rust, "AI"...
That's a question of tactics, though. Moral outrage can be extremely effective, and it can also be counterproductive. And striking the right balance has been a challenge in American politics as long as American politics have existed.

In his Second Inaugural, Lincoln threads the needle in a way that is frankly unachievable for even most skilled politicians. "Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God and each invokes His aid against the other" seems like an acknowledgement of moral nuance, but he follows it up with, "It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces but let us judge not that we be not judged."

Speaking to a nation in which a part of it is in open revolt over the right to keep other humans as slaves is certainly an extreme case. But it isn't categorically different from any other political struggle. People are going to accuse one another of being immoral. It's the human condition. A legal system that protects this behavior is the bedrock of democracy. It doesn't matter how annoying you find the people doing the judging.
It's not about the 30%, it's about giving you the ball for $3.30 then taking the ball away sometime later saying you can no longer play with it and no, there won't be any refunds.
That's pretty much the whole basis of Domain Driven Design. The core message is to get to an Ubiquitous Language which is the formalization of the business jargon (pretty much a glossary). From which the code can then be derived naturally.
I would love to hear the plan on how the US can be a net exporter of coffee with, say, Indonesia (32% tariff). Perhaps we can take the funds from the tariffs and build mass greenhouses?
Interesting to see the difference and I agree that's an inaccurate edit. For historical accuracy it should describe Zazu Nova as a gay man who was also a transvestite or drag queen.
I unironically keep an original copy of those documents in my safety deposit box because of this. In theory I should be able to go to the courthouse and get another copy but if 40 years down the line they've lost them I'm screwed.

I feel bad for the people in states that don't require court orders for this because they apparently have the worst time trying to update accounts.
So the EU will have to pull out from them. We don't need such states in the EU
It's sticker price shock for sure. Historically speaking, this will just smooth over and people will set their sticks in the sand. If the 900 dollar PS5 pro can shrug it off, then I doubt there's much issue here.

You surely realise you are doing exactly what you criticise here? You are accepting a government propaganda narrative unquestioningly without verifying any facts.

Look at the timeline of literally any plague, as they all follow a very similar pattern. For instance here [1] is the one for the Spanish Flu. There are a number of peaks and valleys that gradually recess to noise as viruses tend to evolve to less virulent forms while people also simultaneously develop broader immunity. This makes observational data highly unreliable for determining the efficacy of a vaccine during a plague.

The same is true of mortality/severity rates by vaccination status in hospitals. People who opt in to a vaccine are generally going to be more inclined to seek hospital treatment than those who opt out of such. So if somebody unvaccinated went to the hospital for COVID it would naturally be, on average, a much more severe case than a vaccinated person going to the hospital, with worse overall outcomes. And so you skew the results when looking at hospital data.

These biases and trends are facts most people may not be aware of, but big pharma certainly is.
