It looks like Big Shrink (BS) theory is easier to understand: we are shrinking, our rulers are shrinking, so cosmic distances are looking bigger in every direction. It explains why our Universe is flat and why we cannot find a Universe-big source of energy for expanding of the Universe.

Spacetime is just 4D array: [x,y,z;t]. "Bending of spacetime" means that you need to apply a shader to this array.

If you want to talk about physics of the process, then you need to pick up a physical medium first, not an array of measurements.

Can you name the country, please?

> Those investments only benefit very few people though

Buy stock and benefit (or take a loss) with them.

> Instead the government needs to invest in projects that create jobs for everyone.

Vote for such government or immigrate to a socialists country, Venezuela or North Korea. They have the lot of jobs.

For example, I raised some money from Alice, so I have obligation to pay $1M(+%) to Alice. In other words, Alice invested $1M into me. Now, my business grows, risks are reduced, so Bob paid $1.25M to Alice. Now, I have obligation to pay $1M(+%) to Bob instead of Alice.

What's wrong with that?

Offshore companies are very popular in countries with unstable economy, like Russia, because oligarchs can confiscate your money at any time, so people in Russia are fighting with offshores with help of oligarchs. This is the real problem for them.

I assume, you are talking about Venezuela or Zimbabwe dollars. Right?

So, they picked Python because it is easy to learn by noobs. Yeah, this changes everything.

... and used Python instead of a language with good compile-time safety enforcement, like Ada, because Python is easier to learn by noobs.

Java -> OpenJDK

MySQL -> MariaDB

OpenOffice -> LibreOffice

Chrome -> Chromium

VSCode -> VSCodium

and so on.

Of course, Linux is special case, KHTML/WebKit/Blink is special case, Android is special case, etc. Blame special cases.

It looks like drran had a few bad interviews or a bad job recently, so he's trying to fix the world.

You cannot bullshit A's, so bringing your weak points to the table upfront will give you some credibility in the eyes of A's, but it will do the opposite in the eyes of B's. It's detailed in "Getting naked"[0].

If you are doing consultation and want satisfied clients only, or looking for an A level job only, then it's OK. If you are looking for any job (with high salary, of course), then it better to hide your weak points, to be accepted by a B, and then do the dull work.

It can be solved without centralized server: every content site, page, or paper, will publish Bloom filter for their content discoverable via sitemap, to which you subscribe via RSS/Atom. When you need to search, you will make hashes for words in your query, then will check each Bloom filter for potential matches. When potential match is found, full page source can be downloaded and checked more carefully for ranking.

Yep, Debian is not even trying to develop a full OS. They are distributing GNU/Linux with few popular desktops (Gnome, KDE, Mate, XFCE, etc.), and popular applications.

GNU project tries to develop full OS for Linux kernel. GNOME project tries to develop full desktop for GNU/Linux. The Document Foundation tries to develop full office suite. And so on.

In an optimization problem, there can be global optimum and local optimums. He says that global optimum is not enough for supply chain, because lower layers money will be sucked by upper layers and chain will break, because owner of sucked business will park his money somewhere else, so each level must operate at a local optimum.

You are making it backward. Linux distribution is a distribution, not a vendor. If you will write a higher level SDK, and then will write an application using the SDK, and then this application will be requested by users, then your application and your SDK will be included into the distribution. UNIX has CDE[0], but nobody uses it, so no distribution includes CDE by default.

When I use something from a distribution, I trust the distribution as organization. When I use something packaged by a developer, I trust the developer. I cannot verify thousands of developers, so I must trust the distribution and I can trust few developers or packagers outside of distribution.

> On the other hand, maintainers can and have inserted (accidentally or not) vulnerabilities in software,

Such maintainer will be kicked off from distribution.

> and ignore developer wishes (like "please stop distributing this ancient unmaintained software without this warning that says it is ancient and unmaintained")

Developer wishes are developer wishes. User wishes are more important. If package has a maintainer, then it IS maintained.

You can use any distribution developed by developers (do you know any?) if you dislike maintained distributions and share experience with us.

You can recompile package from source to support installation into `~/.local` (see `man 7 file-hierarchy`), but burden to support this will be on you, including updates, protection from malware and viruses, firewalling, and so on.

For example, rust's cargo can compile and install applications into `~/.local`, but it's pain to keep them up to date, so I prefer to use same tools from my OS (Fedora) distribution repo instead.

Markdown supports HTML (with JS), and HTML/JS is quite powerful. I can make complex computations and drawings with JS libraries, then present them nicely with custom CSS. Some markdown editors supports embedded HTML/JS in preview, which makes them easy to use as IDE. My favorite editor is Marker[0].

I suspect that I can write embedable applications in JS and load them as libraries in Markdown to perform advanced stunts, like in Org mode.

> I'm sorry but I cannot take your opinion over that of historians which, after the fall of the USSR and access to the archives, saw the general consensus shift away from murder - instead it was found that the incompetence of party officials was even greater than one could have imagined.

It's reads like joke. You are completely incompetent, right? Can you murder just 1 million of people and cover it for decades? What level of incompetence is required for that? Can you kill 1 million by mistake?

Communists party has a goal: kill bourgeoisie as class. Why you are trying to label the MAIN GOAL of communists party as "incompetence" or "mistake"?

Leaders of USSR created secret police, to watch transition of USSR from bourgeoisie past to communist future. Secret police found that majority of Ukrainians prefer freedom and free market, so Politbureau decided to eliminate Ukrainians as traitor nation, like many other nations. They created a plan and then performed it.

> The assertion that Schukin was assasinated by the Russian Federation is unsupported.

Yeah, nor passport nor business card were left by killer to help us. Same situation was with his science director: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mykola_Shytyuk , and many other scientists. Maybe, it's martians. What you think?

You numbers are right. I just checked my stats on current project: 101 LoC per day. On this project I have ) incompetent PM, so ticket descriptions are vague thus I need to manage ticket queue by myself, ) hard to reach product owner, so I must figure lot of things at my own, *) no dedicated QA team, so I need to write test scenarios in addition to automatic test cases and then perform them manually, etc.

> Are your fixed-price estimates based on LoC?!

I don't now. I was not a part of sales.

> Else, why aren't you embedding that knowledge in a corporate library ("contractors tools") which you license to all your future customers?

Because each customer has different requirements, different goals, different language and framework. Nobody wanted to pay for a library.

> If you write 1KLoC/day then you're likely generating 2 post-release defect bugs per day. That's in addition to bugs your QA team catches.

In practice, I had about 1 serious bug slipped per 1-2 weeks. Professional QA team known a lot of corner cases to test already. Professional developers know them too, even when writing in a different language using different framework. Moreover, we know how to prepare good CI, efficient automated tests, how to write efficient documentation, who is responsible for what, etc.

> Your numbers are so far outside of industry standards and academic findings that, with 20+ years of experience, you must know they are exceptional and difficult for anyone else to accept on your simple say-so.

How much I will be paid if you will accept my story? :-)

> No, it is not. 68.2% of the population is in the average span of 85-115 IQ.

Yep, 50% of them are below 100 IQ, 50% are above 100 IQ.

Official definition of IQ: measure average IQ of a population, then label the point where 50% of population is below average as 100 IQ points.

This is how IQ is defined.
