For the ones who know: is MySQL (without Percona) affected by the same issues the author is talking about?
Because a lot of reasons.

* If everybody has to raise wages, they don't lose customers to competitors.

* A lot of them are already paying higher than minimum.

* They get a lot of customers making minimum wage, so they have more money to spend.

* People continue to tip.

* A bunch of states already have $15 minimums so they know how to make the relevant adjustments.

Automation gets a passing mention, but only to downplay its significance.
Calling everything you don't like "terrorism" is exactly the kind of hyperbolic rhetoric that ends up giving the surveillance state more power to spy on you and every one you love.

Am I just old now? Or did people just not learn any lessons from the post 9/11 years?
>Lots of people on the spectrum know how to behave.

It is called a spectrum because it contains a lot of different conditions that vary significantly.

>but he doesn't have to be in the decision board of the FSF to do this

Please re-evaluate this statement. One could as well use "you don't have to be in the decision board of the FSF to be gay". He certainly does not need to be in the decision board of the FSF to do this but you do not need to be in the decision board of the FSF to do pretty much anything.

I would argue that being in the decision board (instead of being the president) of the FSF is a good position for him. He can continue steering the FSF on things regarding software freedom, can continue giving his talks, and the face of the FSF will be someone who is more desirable by donors and deals with people better I guess?

The reason why people react negatively to those who have been bringing up this sort of thing is that it always comes with this nonsense at the end:

> They are hiding, scared, waiting for the government to officially announce that it is once again safe to return to the world.

If it were a leveled discussion of facts, without the obvious agenda and judgment attached, people would not react so negatively.
so how did you build this
I'm 33. My investment strategy is to not lose money.

I invest what I'm willing to lose in assets that either have cashflow, or that I expect to significantly increase (2-100x) in value over the next 1-3 years. I'm invested in various cryptocurrencies and stocks, and receive cashflow from businesses.

I do not own index funds or any kind of managed funds.
I don't think you ever want storage to be deleted as part of an automatic bill cap system. Just refuse access, or allow reads but not writes until the customer reviews it. There's even an HTTP code for it: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/402 (non standard, but I know for a fact it's used by Azure).

Actually deleting things should be done after a period of time specified in writing in the contract with the customer, and I'd hope you'd try to contact them first.

But I think an automatic bill cap absolutely makes sense for storage, and I can't really see any reasons it couldn't work.
There's currently lots of it on the front page: gay marriage, housing policy, Mark Zuckerberg is using on Signal. Seems the current guideline leads to selective enforcement based on unstated background motives.
Exactly. I have heard stories of bill capping that ended up with infra and data being deleted, so I can really see why they wouldn't implement it. What they could do however would be to allow usage limit based on IAM policies for example (Deny s3:Getobject Condition: monthly bandwidth >= x)
> If the FSF board wants to give him the opportunity to demonstrate an ability to change, why shouldn’t they?

Because of the forseeable adverse impact on other people to whom thet are responsible?

> Also, they are much better judges of whether he is trying to change, and whether or not he’s had success in that, than external observers such as you or I can be.

The at least one FSF board member who departed, and the FSF’s management who likewise resigned over the issue, OTOH, are in at least an equally good position to the Board members who supported the move.

Can you give some more details how the reverse engineering was done exactly? (And maybe put that also in the README or somewhere, because I think this is probably interesting to some.)

You write:

> re3 was started sometime in the spring of 2018, initially as a way to test reversed collision and physics code inside the game. This was done by replacing single functions of the game with their reversed counterparts using a dll.

How exactly? So the game EXE exported all the function symbol names? How did you know the function signature (arguments, return type)? And then it is enough to preload a DLL to replace the function? There is no global state or so which must be accessed?
Feels like an "event" in documentary cinema. The right inquiry, at the right time. The conflict between individual liberty, and the exacerbation of crisis when something beyond our immediate control occurs. At what cost comes the safety net? And who provides it?

I'm 50, so nerds vs jocks was a thing in the US in the 1980s, but not so much these days when "nerdy" things align more with pop culture. Also, back in the 1980s, except for severe cases where physical violence was involved, bullying was more or less tolerated and the advice to the bullied was just not to react, which was supposed to cause the bullies to lose interest. These days even name calling by bullies is taken seriously and can result in punishment of the perpetrators.

There are also demos for other immediate-mode UI systems on the parent page (Nuklear and microui):

As I wrote in another thread, Immediate Mode UI doesn't imply how the UI rendering is implemented, only how the API works.
This is sad true that has nothing to do with denials. We know only two confirmed survivors of Belzec - one was shot right after the war in 1946. For that simple reason - lack of victims testimonies - we know very little about the details of what has really happened - even simple facts like location of buildings, timeline etc...

This was basically the exact point I was trying to make.
I have had this exact situation once way before the covid situation. And I did not take advantage, I should have perhaps.
Cannot even say lesson learned, covid will likely be the new normal for a long long time.

A skype call can give the same information but you can send a message first, asking if the recipient has time.
The cynic in me would love to think that this jab at Android isn't just a strategic move to help Windows Phone in it's fragile fledgling state.

Considering that Netflix streaming is also available for the Mac and iOS, yeah I think this is overly cynical and incorrect.
I tried "I want to kill myself" and I still got a suicide prevention link. Pretty good.
This is a systematic invasion of what could only be described as MORE than just "privacy". It's a humiliating public encounter with someone touching your genitals. The fact that there could be worst executions of sexual abuse doesn't make what's going on in airports any better.

Do you consider the forms of cancer which are curable and treatable not a "real" form of cancer?
Such nonsense. Horrifically US-centric in dealing with a global technology, and ignoring that tone of voice carries so much information in a conversation that simply cannot be expressed well in the written word (despite the heroic attempts of some people to stick smiley faces everywhere).
Yep. Also they were constantly tightening the screws holding down the glass in the demo which I though stood out.
it was very popular also for cracks/keygen, also available on the web :)

I sure hope not. If it does, then I'm going to be very sad, and my opinion of humanity will be ever so slightly lowered.
I’d be interested to know the ratio of the L0 data size to the L2/3/4 data[0] size – in other words, how many downlinked bits of sensor readout are processed per bit of useful science data? Of course that won’t be a hard number; I’m just curious to get a sense of the general scale on which the pipeline reduces pixels to physical parameters.

>Any sane programming community would string me up by my thumbs for doing this, and rightly so.

How do you explain shell scripting then? Bash and co. have been 'industry best practice' for decades. They feature all these problems of in-band communication and (attempts at) escaping and nobody seems to consider it a problem.
If people keep making them, clearly existing solutions aren't quite getting it right, otherwise no one would bother.

> and a .io domain

And that's just Github's domain... Furthermore, Google is currently treating .io as a generic TLD. Considering the exhaustion of .com and .net addresses, is it any surprise that people have adopted another one en masse?
You Cant Scale a Server/Desktop CPU two step down into Mobile Devices.

This is what Atom is all about, the higher power/performance x86 possible.

And You also cant scale a Mobile Devices up to a Server / Desktop Product.

That is what the ARMv8 Cortex A58 is all about, Low Power Desktop and Server Class.

So technically speaking both are marching towards each others end. Although Intel would lose out due to other factor such as business model.
Does anyone know of an IRC rooms or anything, where like minded people could meet up?
It's a different world now, but this is similar to the transition Snort went through over a decade ago. It started as an open-source piece of software, but then the creator of it formed a company around it, and started to add on value-add features and provide support. The OSS of Snort still exists today and a lot of people use the free version of it. There arguably a lot of features in Sourcefire's paid products that could be integrated into the free version of Snort, but they aren't.

Selling additional features I feel will generate more revenue for Nginx than just going the support route. It may not be great for those that use the free product now, but I see it as a solid business model.

As far as having to go through sales, I see this product being geared towards IT people, and those that are strictly sysadmin/IT are much more accustom to working with sales reps to buy products they will be using. Not saying I like it, but it's just how things are.

He's more right than most people are on the Dunning-Kruger effect. What it actually tells us is that self-assessed competence estimates carry low signal: the correlation is almost zero. This might be a regular, pointwise regression to the mean, or it might be an artifact of the aggregation (i.e. it could be that some people are great self-estimators but others are way off the mark).

What Dunning-Kruger tells us is that, with regard to certain abilities and especially social skills, people are bad guessers of their own competence and that most people think of themselves as slightly above average.

I think that he's also somewhat right on money vs. happiness. Self-reported happiness is not the same thing as actual happiness. You might rate yourself a "7" at two times of life, but be behaviorally different. Your "7" when you are poor might be, "commute sucked, but no one yelled at me at work today"; but when you're rich, it might mean "hotel is nice, but staff forgot to fold the toilet paper into a triangle". Self-reported contentment is the same, but stress levels and behavioral measures of happiness are very different. It is true that after $75k per person, other factors have more of an effect on happiness than money itself. You have to account for cost of living and family size, of course.

Then there are job quality issues. A writer who reliably makes $100k per year is a smashing success; a professor earning that, at 40, is more than respectable; but someone who's a "Software Engineer II", making that, at age 40 is a failure. I think that success is much more strongly correlated to happiness than income. People with Harvard MBAs making $250k per year are often the most miserable people on earth, while famous artists who make a fraction of that often love their lives.

His relating this to type systems is a bit silly. You can't put all "static typing" languages in the same bucket. Java's static typing is a hindrance with little power. Haskell's static typing is extremely effective-- if you know how to use it. Also, quality of the engineers matters more than the language itself: I'd much rather work on a disciplined Clojure or Ruby team than a sloppy Scala team that's still using Java patterns. If it is properly used, a Haskell-like type system can make code quality very high indeed. That said, most businesses aren't willing to budget the time for quality code, and that's a language-independent problem.
Why do you think the current syntax is more backwards-compatible? Vanilla ES5 parsers complain loudly when seeing "function *".
Not sure if paid shill or just biased?

The Bloomberg article was about the wealth amassed by Xi's extended family.[1] This New Yorker piece cites an article by Geremie Barme which points out that of the 48 highest-profile corruption cases, none were targeted at "second-generation reds" (aka princelings)[2]. Note that the very high profile case of corrupt princeling Bo Xilai was just prior to Xi's appointment. The ostensible anti-corruption crusade embarked on afterward was targeted at scapegoat officials "from ‘commoner’ 平民 families." Indeed, Barme's article quotes numerous princeling Party officials extolling the inherent virtue of "bureaucrats from the Red Second Generation" and their naturally-born resistance to vice and corruption (Bo Xilai is an exceedingly rare anomaly). Instead, the real danger is "Bureaucrats who come from extreme poverty in youth easily fall prey to vile excesses of corruption, whoring and gambling."

> It goes with saying that, in the murky corridors of Communist power, an impressive number of party gentry progeny, or the offspring of the Mao-era nomenclatura, have been implicated in corrupt practices, but word has it that, like the well-connected elites of other climes, they’ve enjoyed a ‘soft landing': being discretely relocated, shunted into delicate retirement or quietly ‘redeployed’. It’s all very comfy; and it’s all very much business as usual.

Hey I'm Alex, one of the cofounders of BaseRails. There's a lot of great advice in this thread already, but here are my two cents. Learning the fundamentals of coding is somewhat different from learning to code to build X. If you're focused on the latter, find a good tutorial on how to build something similar to X (or a simplified version of X). You'll pick up the basics of the language/framework along the way, and when you've finished the tutorial, you can then customize what you've built to match the app you were envisioning all along.

If you have any specific questions about BaseRails or Rails/coding in general, I'm happy to help. Feel free to reply back here or shoot me an email at alex@baserails.com.
Very curious how important it is to get the wine from that particular vineyard
You're in a tough spot. The more interest that you build in the series, the more likely that someone with more money and better connections will decide to take your idea and run with it. Further, it's not like you can simply start creating derivative works to demonstrate your abilities - you might get sued out of existence.

I'd suggest creating a website that talks about your plans, how you would approach the TV show making process. What are the types of things that you would do, what are some plot lines, how would you show the story's "card mechanic" visually? Build a community so that there is fan devotion not just to the idea, but to you and your implementation of it.
Someone I know runs something like this for news content. See https://www.newssniffer.co.uk/
As far as I read about them, their model is not similar to a typical dev shop.

The main constrain that hinders the exponential growth of a dev shop is it's revenue - operational cost ratio. As your revenue increases, operational cost increases linearly. That is not something loved by VCs.

But Gigster executes projects using their freelance talent network. So they don't have to keep them in their payroll when there is no work for them.

This information is based on what I read about them. I'm not sure how smooth it will be to execute a software development with a team of freelancers though.

But if it works, then I think Gigster's model can achieve exponential growth.
That used to be semi-attached to KiCAD, but due to some whining, it no longer is. Its author had worked for a company that did routing software, and they were huffing and puffing about him competing with them, although they didn't apparently have the contractual rights to stop him.

I used it to route a board, and it was kind of touchy, but did the job.
More like the vulnerable side.
While a front end bug that gets in the way of sales is bad for a business, a poorly designed or buggy data layer can cause issues throughout the rest of the application. It can lead to things like lack of isolation between users, loss of data, data inconsistency, and scalability issues.
Yes, "libertarian" is probably not the right term - a quick skim of wikipedia shows that it is very broad with a varied attitude towards legitimacy of state power. What I specifically meant is that I don't see all restrictions on financial activity as a priori bad.

That said, why is the emphasis on constitution (BTW, do you mean any constitution or US constitution in particular)? Constitution is just a special kind of law after all and I can totally imagine libertarians claiming that it is inadequate, pushing to change it and make it more aligned with their principles.
By locally I am talking mostly about the city Derby and county Derbyshire, where I live. London and other big cities (Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester etc.) are full of great programmers who are paid a much higher salary than Derby(shire). Albeit, a much much lower salary than the US.

If you are from around here, you're main options are Nottingham (quite a good city for programming jobs) or move away to a bigger city with more opportunities, that isn't to say it's necessary and I have been forunate to find good jobs where I live.

The success of applying between local vs remote jobs is staggering, and have been told many times by local companies they really struggle to find decent programmers (maybe salary is the factor here as you say!)
California's version, CCPA, should take effect starting January.
Not when you’re corrupting only a handful of sales, but losing all of them. It still feels arbitrary to say one is more important for developers to be aware of than the other here.

As long as you have both covered to a reasonable degree within your company/team it’s a waste of time arguing who’s got the most important info in their brains.
So we should pay people in the water department more money, makes sense to me.
I don't want to disagree, it must have been very upsetting for her. But I know them, they are too stupid to be anti or pro anything, I won't be surprised to know that the person who wrote the article is in fact a woman.
Yes.. we need more fiefdoms. More prisons. More machined conformity.
So every city with tax credits. Every county with a tax benefit.

Taxes is not just a federal thing here.
You can't check... just wait and see if they put you in jail.

Unless you hire an attorney that knows these laws... because not even attorneys can know all laws.
> It’s critically important to find out whether tainted water is coming from the city’s water facility or getting polluted in the pipes along the way

All of the above.

Water facilities seem to get tainted the way Flints water facility was tainted, cost cutting. Some things, like brain eating amoebas are hard to get rid of in totality, but in the right environment they could thrive.

Water mains and lateral lines get damaged from over and under pressurization constantly. Fire hydrants are a big source of this. This damage can be difficult to locate without real time digital water meters because pressurization across the system is constantly in flux.

Can you point me to something that explains how to do what you did (embedding the base64 of the font TTF)? I'm wondering how I can make a PDF of a webpage use the same font I used on the webpage.

> That's a pretty nice piece of leverage to have in hand while negotiating a settlement.

Isn't that how things usually work? If one party does something illegal, then the other can offer a settlement using the threat of other legal action as leverage?
Most people like the idea of communes more than the reality.

Take a middle class kid who’s never done a real day’s work in their life into a commune and they’ll generally be wanting to go home within a couple days.

Bernie talked about the evil millionaires until he became one and now he’s all about the evil billionaires. He’s fine keeping his own money because “he earned it”, while still advocating for taking money from others. People generally only favor redistribution of the kind that involves stealing from someone else.

Our programmer community is exceedingly well off and could easily solve a large portion of the countries poverty if were redistributed our wealth. If we gave 10-20% to charity like fundamentalist Christians, the 4 million programmers could lift at least 4 million families above the poverty line. Instead, we blame the billionaires and do little to nothing despite our Twitter claims to want to help the disenfranchised.
I was looking for this information as well. They have a donation page - https://www.signal.org/donate/ - unlike the Mozilla Foundation/Firefox, so if enough people decide to use it, and to make regular(ish) donations, it could work. See Wikipedia.
One of the new privacy features in iOS 14 is the ability to limit an app’s access to specific photos instead of the ‘all’ or ‘none’ options that were previously available.

I believe this type of functionality is now available in Android 11 too.
