Regarding Audible 2 years ago

I have realised the no service will have all the books. So why not pick one that has more local authors and comes from a company that treats their workers and authors a bit better?

Regarding Audible 2 years ago

The issue with audible is that authors have to be there or they don't exist. Even if the pay is crap, you "have to" be on audible.

I don't see how any competitors could break their dominance as long as the authors give in this easily.

I listen to audiobooks quite a lof and some yeargs ago I moved to a different service (storytel, its a European thing). If they don't have a book, well I get it from another source that is definitely not owned by Bezos.

but it doesn't really refute any of his core assertions: they still have the appearance of abandoning their core mission to focus more on profits

They don't refute that, but they claim that road was chosen in agreement with Elon. In fact, the claim this was his suggestion

This blog post could have been written by me. This is exactly how I feel, on all accounts.

Hope this doesn't mean we are in a cult ;)

I know C, python, Go and Rust reasonably well and Go is usually my default choice for a new projects.

Well unless it's just a quick script, in which case Python will do just fine.

Tried Scala while learning Chisel and hate it from the bottom of my heart. It's like Kotlin on bad drugs.

My point is, people are different.

The LKM post mentions binary size improvements.

One issues I have had with Rust applications is the huge binary size (yes, I know this has improved a bit lately). Is there a good comparison between kernel C and kernel Rust code in this regard?
