Systems you want to use in an emergency have a tendency to start failing when you don't exercise them regularly. That's my primary reason for using cash. Privacy is the second. The tactile sense for how much money I spend is the t

Interesting that you perceive a dichotomy there, can you elaborate where you see the conflict? As a reviewer, I see myself as a (extremely near, time T+epsilon) future developer who is trying to see what the hell is happening.

I feel like you're complaining about a problem which you helped create. So, with all due respect, do your part to fix it. For example, by allowing review comments on commit messages in GitHub. Gerrit gets this right, FWIW.

Then don't write commit messages for the future, write them for reviewers. Seriously, as somebody who reviews a lot of code, well-written commit messages are a godsend. It's an awful shame that GitHub doesn't allow commenting

If that is truly the case, then perhaps you need to reassess whether you are genuinely in neither group. I'm not kidding. This is an asymmetric conflict of the powerless against the powerful. Obviously their methods are going to have t

Enlighten us? At least one or two concrete examples should be possible, lest people take the more natural conclusion that you're engaging in false equivalence.

These SVN memories are why "cloud native" is an anti-feature to me. Most software, especially productivity software, should be offline-first.

Flattr was trying to bootstrap a sort of two-sided market from scratch. They needed to get both hosts/"content providers" and clients/"users" to sign up. This is just a very, very hard problem, and if we'r

World class actors are still part of a union. Unions are meant to be a tool to increase your power by solving a coordination problem between employees, and there are many examples of them working well for that purpose.

I specifically interviewed and got an offer elsewhere precisely because, while I like my job and am very good at it, this dance of offer and counter offer is the only way to get substantial raises or bonuses. So I took the counter offer and

I think the view may technically be true, though of course the term "many" is very squishy. The best evidence for this is probably that (in countries with multiparty systems) you can often see surprisingly strong voter movement be

This kind of lowbrow commentary adds nothing to the conversation. The fact is, you as a passenger don't make a payment transfer directly to SFO when you use Lyft or Uber, so it is in fact them who make the payment. The fact that Lyft a

Perhaps. The awesome part is the launch capabilities that allow them to do that.

I mean, the HIP compiler is built on LLVM and AMD-specific development happens directly upstream, which is more than you can say for other vendors. Other parts of the overall ROCm system are in a worse place, admittedly. For some reason, AM

At some point you have to accept that a 20 year old GPU(!) just isn't interesting for anything other than historical and nerd-sniping purposes. That said, I'm sure you could pay Collabora or some shop like it to implement any feat

JS and Rust are memory safe languages with a culture of pulling in hundreds if not thousands of dependencies. So unfortunately, in terms of culture, at least those languages are not Pareto improvements.

Sure, there are legitimate but opposing interests here. The solution doesn't have to be technical though. The key part is making sure that the copyright owners still have some recourse, but one that isn't punitive for unknowing in

Part of what's interesting here is that generative AI makes it very easy to unknowingly and unintentionally get on the wrong side of copyright law, which is something that wasn't really possible before. That's something w

It is dystopian, and it already exists, e.g. printers refusing to print anything that looks sufficiently like money. Like many things, I suspect this will end up getting worse before there's a chance for it to get better.

And then you get needlessly inefficient CRUD apps that take minutes or even hours to generate a simple report because they're doing accidentally quadratic or even cubic work somewhere.

"One of the values written to memory" isn't really a thing when memory accesses can tear (e.g. because the values are 16 bytes large and are accessed using 8 byte memory ops). So it's not even necessarily about what woul

Nowadays, cheap printers have to work with Android, which means they have to speak IPP. At least for basic printing, crappy drivers have been a thing of the past for a while now.

Your dates are off by more than a century though. Initial copyright terms were barely more than a decade. Cowboy Bebop would have been fair game.
