Anyone wanting to do non-trivial scripting and owning an Amiga from Workbench 2 onward.

The BlackElements existed in harmony until one day etc

This is absolutely peak "confidently incorrect"; it's hilarious, but completely expected on this site.

I have spent most of my career in newspaper publishing and banking.

A newspaper that doesn't publish for a few days might recover. A bank that drops off the Swift network for days isn't a bank any more.

> but its incredibly costly and time consuming for sizeable platforms.

If your restores are too time consuming to test regularly, they sure as shit aren't going to be useful in a disaster.

This is why the primary bank regulator in Australia (APRA) have insistent that banks meet their CPS230 obligations by being multicloud. There's a lot of push back on it (especially from AWS), but it's a significant risk if you're leasing all your infra.

Goatseus Maximus is what you're after.

> I wonder if possible Qualcomm doesn’t super care about the long tail of software?

Qualcomm's success is based more on its patent portfolio and how well it uses it, more than any other single factor. It doesn't really have to compete on quality, and their support has long been terrible - they're one of the main drivers of Android's poor reputation for hardware end-of-life. It doesn't matter though, because they have no meaningful competition in many areas.

An LLM doing crypto spam/scamming has been making money by tricking Marc Andressen into boosting it. So to the degree that "scamming gullible billionaires and their fans" is a job, that's been done.

> It just seemed surprising to me that every country in the world has medical device certification for anything that calls itself a hearing aid,

"Trusting the FDA" instead of having your own evaluation seems a lot less foolish now that Americans have decided to put a guy in charge of the FDA who wants to get rid of vaccines.

Also Kanopy if your local library is a subscriber. Basically anything you might see at a film festival, that could be considered "art house", and a remarkably long tail that goes back to pre-Hayes Code Hollywood (for example).

Security podcasters will cheer you killing kids because you might have hit a few terrorists in the process.

If you really think that the only reason people use iPhones is iMessage then you are completely detached from reality.

Google don't want to "break the iMessage stronghold". They want to crack open Apple customers' messaging so they can feed it into their advertising systems. WhatsApp is useless to Google for that.

"Researchers would like to take treatments away from disabled people and tell them to just crack on with it"

Yeah, it's definitely coming via the Chinese companies, and Korean as well (HiFi Rose), and everywhere from budget to expensive. Class D amps have been making headway against traditional scepticism for a while now, and GaN switching performance is pushing that even harder.

Peachtree seem to be one of the US companies pushing GaN in a big way, including their pure-digital amps.

AIX is big endian but: "SUSE's Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) offers SLES 12 on Power in little endian mode only. As such, customers will need to migrate from big to little endian as they upgrade from SLES 11 to SLES 12."

> I also really don't understand why people thought it was such a hard concept as to largely force Linux (PPC, arm, mips) toward little.

My memory is that it's largely Linus having strong opinions.

Ah, yes: "Let's just try to kill big-endian data, it's disgusting and should just die already." https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wisMFiBHT7dLFOtHqX=fEve3J...

That's part of it - GAN-FETs are becoming very popular in the audio world (e.g. the Peachtree GaN power amps).

It's another thing on a checklist that can go wrong.

Was the US designed to have a couple of judges in Texas determine the law for the whole country?

Put it to a nationwide vote and you'll watch the money flow into the ad campaigns and half your friends will start telling you how important it is to smash the "regulatory shadow state" and "unelected bureaucrats" or whatever the talking points are.

In my optimistic moments, I think that.

In my realistic moments I think that we will rewrite medical law, banking law, and privacy law and so on to accomodate the shitty AI children of billionaires. Misdiagnosed by "AI"? Too bad. Lose a job because of AI? Too bad. Sentenced to death by an AI-powered criminal investigation? Too bad.

Meanwhile, English speakers are trying to get the hang of depuis/pendant...

Yeah, I adopted Hugo and now I regret it. Every release seems to break themes, and many theme maintainers give up trying to keep current, so if you use someone else's theme you're running a small intersection of hugo versions and can't rely on packaged releases.

A static site generator that has somehow managed to be more inconvenient than many CMSes.

One thing that I like about Restic is that you can automatically do a test restore of a subset (e.g. 1%, 5%, 8%) of your data, so that you can check for problems on the remote automatically.
