It does. There are some who would argue that the Linux copyright fight is already resolved because of the SCO suits, but that's wrong because

A: some of those suits are still ongoing, and

B: the suits never alleged infringement based on the API alone, SCO was claiming that Linux copied functional code in multiprocessing modules (we don't know which functions because they demand secrecy, even though it's open source).

Not even SCO, trolls that they are, were insane enough to claim that the APIs themselves are copyrighted.
My boss remarked how surprised he was on how well our team worked remotely. But I suspect he'll want us back in the office anyway.
Article actually talks about this towards the end.
But are they passing on the savings to the employees? Not everyone has the same internet access or home office amenities.
That doesn't seem like a new problem to me - you can already give someone a link with extraneous info in it using query params and fragments:

Part of the problem is that swapping the SSD at all was originally not a thing. T2 drive encryption started off on laptops with soldered-on SSDs where I would imagine Apple had zero intent of supporting any attempt by a user (or, more likely, Louis Rossman) to swap chips out. When they shipped the Mac Pro with socketed SSD modules they needed to hack together a way to actually pair the T2 and new SSDs, so they released Apple Configurator to let that happen.

The main problem I could see with a field-pairing mechanism is properly messaging it to the user while the SSD is in an unusable state. Remember: once you change the SSD pairing, the data on the old drive is unreadable by anyone and the new drive will be wiped accordingly. So it absolutely should not be an automatic process - what if someone swaps the SSD modules without knowing about the drive encryption? At the very least, you need to flash a warning up on screen and accept a user acknowledgement, which means you need display drivers, USB, and so on all working in the boot ROM. It's not insurmountable, but it is a technical challenge.
> "because you're never gonna be a doctor from online documentation and YouTube videos"

You're not gonna become a legal doctor, but I assure you that online you have many many information and videos that teach you the same as they teach you in university. You just need to organize them - and probably some are already part of current pandemic forced online classes

The complicated part may be to obtain corpses to make the practices... /s
I've been 100% WFH for just over a year, and I'm really looking forward to /occasionally/ going back into the office. But certainly not every day!
Of all the things, accusing GNU/Linux of opinionated GUI just doesn't make sense at all to me. There's like 30+ different desktop environments you can use. So many so that there's a need for articles like 10 best Linux DE's of 2021, and those don't even scratch the surface anyway.
Yes I do realize that.

Yet, there is no good reason why expert excel users couldn't pick up some coding. I've seen several econ graduates teach themselves F# to be able to run reports. I've seen interns learning pretty complex VBA stuff. Young people know more and more some programming.

On the other hand, there is no good reason why developers shouldn't make business reports. Developers know where the data is, they know how to properly create reports that don't screw up the infrastructure. The only brake is that they're bad at frontend.

Maybe I'm being idealistic thinking that this tool could actually change how people manage the way they create reports. But I can't help thinking this is a good idea.
I had to toggle the heatmap layer off (with the button at the bottom right above the "target" icon) and on again for it to show.
Your question may be more relevant than you think. Yes, lack of illumination will obscure capture of any scene, if making it dark enough. This is a consequence of our imaging technology. Even great cameras are severely limited in how they can make sense of light that reaches them, never able to reproduce more than a slice of available contrasts (depth?).

Your cinematographers seem aware of this of course, and it touches an idea a photographer introduced me to. That one could draw parallels between photography as a technology, and the issues surfacing in image recognition and biased deep learning etc.

Photography has been shaped by environments even less concerned by such issues. Technology refined and calibrated over decades, to attain the perfect shot by those with the means to access a camera, the perfect shot of those most often subject to it.
I wouldn't be surprised if we get internet-only appliances soon, which charge customers on a pay-per-use basis. Considering the low margins on the average whitegoods, it could be an attractive business model to bundle the consumables with the hardware as part of a subscription/PAYG model.

Or you could lockdown certain modes and temperatures behind a paywall. Similar how the car industry is already doing it.
I don't think it's that ambiguous, at least not in French. Even if you are more familiar with a local variation of the language or have an accent (that's my case, my native language is technically Swiss-French, and we have strong local accents) you are still aware of the "standard French" pronunciation.

I face this with German too, people might speak a dialect or have a local accent but are also familiar with Hochdeutsch.

English doesn't have a standard body as far as I know, and pronunciation vary a lot between different countries, so that may be different.
Just because the levels we have got through are comprehensible to (some) humans and accessible to mathematics (some) humans can devise is no guarantee that the next level down, at higher energy and finer scale, will be, too. The bits we understand are accessible at energies we can muster, but there is no reason to expect we will evade extinction long enough to be able even to test string theory.

We have been lucky thus far, but the fundamental nature of luck is that it runs out.

Physics departments are already beginning to turn toward theology. In another two generations will there still be experiments in fundamental physics? What we can be certain of is that they won't close up shop and go home. They will still publish as many papers as required, and graduate post-docs. Ultimately, academic forms do not require factual correction.
This is basically like going from imperative to declarative.

Describe the final end/desired state and let the machine figure out how to get there, progressing through the work until it's caught up even across restarts or other boundaries.
Ah, yes, thanks - looks like they've sped it up somehow now too. But my point about the representation of the data still stands.
Give me an example of a nonsuperficial argument.

"It is very, very difficult to get hold of the ambiguous morass that is the true leading edge, which is so far away from the layperson's event horizon they aren't even aware it exists, and so end up believing that it's not that hard to follow the evidence in most situations."

What are you talking about here? How does that conflict with what I said? In my original post, one thing I asserted is that you should be aware of your assumptions. I don't see the relevance of saying "knowledge of the leading edge is hard to attain" or "the leading edge is ambiguous".
I'm not sure about Dalvik on a chip, but ThumbEE is there in ARM A8s just for accelerating virtual machines.
You can use it purely from the CLI. I do this in Arch, works nicely. And most of the hacks are provided from the dropbox guys themselves...

Of particular interest is the use of the log scale on the Y axis.

Oh how things can change.
I am well aware of the meaning of the word, but it's nonsense if you use it to describe a practice on one side, and a condition on the other.

Further, "doesn't necessarily imply" is quite another thing from "is completely unrelated to." To say that available user options and user interface design are perpendicular to one another is silly.

How can you tell if donations are going to help "close the gap", instead of paying for things BP should be covering?

Is it clearly defined what BP is covering? If not, how do charities know that the money they're putting into action is filling the gaps instead of just reducing BP's checks?
I'm sorry, I'm confused as to what you're talking about. I was speaking in large generalities, not refined ones...
Really? Which one were you thinking of?
Ah I see the draw of an editor in a page then. Now I understand the excitement.

Thanks!
You should probably tell them, so at least they know how often this kind of thing happens.
Some of them (clisp) are not functional. You can't read clisp in the logo because of the color choices.

I looked at the logos first from a branding and functional perspective and my thought was that like all things there is tremendous variety in the set. Some logos were really good at doing the things you want to do with a brand. Others were metaphorically off-color. Others were really bad.

Again, though, that's normal. Logos are, well, a balancing act between functionality, uniqueness, character, and polish.
I can't believe nobody here thought about (role)playing with this kind of thing instead of watching some crappy event on TV. Paintball for swords!
Yes, true. I always thought the GNUcash logo was a bit poor but it always makes me smile when you see a credit card with "bank of GNU" on it haha

I don't mind the logos at all. When using the tools, I do not sit staring at the logos and getting enraged at them - I tend to be using the software. I couldn't even tell you what the logo for xcode looks like - I just use it.

Obviously some people spend more time looking at the dock / taskbar instead of using / writing software?? :-)
I wonder whether Apple is planning on open-sourcing the code. If they want it for internal use, then open sourcing it could make the whole project less expensive.
Can't you use promises/deferreds instead?
The Onion has a good video about this phenomenon

Is it possible? Definitely, seeing as some do so.
Pretty sure that most attempts fail though? I think there’s a threshold number of subscribers and/or views needed in order to get into the program where you get ad revenue.

For those who haven't been following HDD closely.

Energy Assisted Magnetic Recording, EAMR is a term that sums up both MAMR, Microwave Assisted Magnetic Recording and HAMR, Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording.

And this isn't the first 18TB HDD, there are 20TB HDD already. Nor the first MAMR drive. Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC550 [1] claims that title.

MAMR will bring us some incremental gains, both WD and Seagate believes HAMR is the right path in the long term. Seagate shipped [2] their first HAMR HDD only last month and my bet is that it will take another year before it trickles down to consumer market. As of the last investor conference both Seagate and WD are still aiming at 50TB HAMR HDD in 2026.

Seagate is also working on Dual-actuator Mach.2 technology, which will finally put the HDD transfer speed close to the maximum SATA 3 6Gbps speed. Two of these in RAID on a NAS we can finally saturate the 10Gbps Ethernet.

Seagate also expect to use HAMR across most range of its product to amortised the enormous R&D and component expense with HAMR. After all we have been talking about HAMR for nearly a decade. Which suggest while we might be getting bigger drive in the near future. Price / GB will likely stay flat for another few years. ( Of course that is also dependent on how fast NAND could drive its cost reduction. )

"What we need is the next higher level of government to set basic ground rules."

(to the parallel discussion, further upthread ...)

Here is a very good example of the state of the current debate that I was referring to. Democratic processes that produce undesirable outcomes are rejected.

Or, as I said:

"Democracy for me but not for thee."
The sign of the fall for me was when they removed the wall of CPUs and RAM.
When there is a strong prior reason to believe one thing is better, we don't need too many studies to tell us it is so. If, a-posteriori, we saw that you couldn't tell too much difference between college graduates and not by looking at their income, or if you couldn't guess whether someone was EBF as a baby by their health status, you might start wondering if the effect sizes are really so large, despite your prior beliefs.
These largely remain open questions.

Or rather, as far as I can tell the default off-chain answers apply in the absence of explicit directions otherwise.

Physical fine art has come up with answers (you don't get the copyright just because you bought the original), though, and I'm sure NFTs will eventually.

There's also the possibility of putting code into the smart contracts to explicitly give you the royalties earned on-chain. Not really a thing yet, but it's obviously possible to do.
>a safe FAANG job beats the risk of working for a startup or striking out on their own

There's an entire universe of companies, thousands in the US alone, that are not FAANG or a startup, but that employee technical people out there.
Get someone who can tell the difference between a good $40 bottle and an overpriced $10 bottle with a $40 label, have them pick a wine they think is worth $40 and one worth $10, then do the study.
I started thinking of the ramifications of that last part

> You see what happened there? Even though their assumption about wine was false – the more expensive Cabernet didn’t taste better – that assumption still led to increased pleasure,

Turns out lying to certain types of women about how much you make or how much you drive, isn't so stupid after all
Good points on the UX. Thanks. I'll make sure that gets fixed.
Ok I just had another idea, so thought to write it here, in case PG gives it a look. How about showing votes after you took an action on a particular post. Say you upvoted a post, or replied to it, then you are eligible to seeing the points that it has.

This helps because even if in hindsight, I would know if the comment was the general consensus or a popular one or not?
I worked for a very large enterprise software company for a while. They gave everyone their stock computers with stock keyboards and mice (the basic ones that came with the HP systems). I spent about a month trying to get them to buy me a new keyboard which I felt was necessary for ergonomics and because I had (informally) demonstrated a higher typing speed on it.

Eventually I just bought one for myself. It was $50. Managers made all sorts of excuses, then IT said they wouldn't buy non-standard hardware, and there were particularly a lot of excuses in the vein of, "but then we'd have to buy keyboards for everyone." That they wouldn't consider buying their $100k/yr employees a $50 keyboard every few years was just another symptom of their dysfunctional environment.
Perfectionism pays off, but its a savings bond, not a pennystock
Hi Tom,
Congrats to the launch!

I believe if a comment reaches -4 it doesn't go any lower, but every additional downvote is still subtracted from your Karma.
The Y combinator is a programming construct allowing one to write recursive functions without explicitly calling themselves (unnamed recursive functions):

(define Y
(lambda (X)
((lambda (procedure)
(X (lambda (arg) ((procedure procedure) arg))))
(lambda (procedure)
(X (lambda (arg) ((procedure procedure) arg)))))))

(define F*
(lambda (func-arg)
(lambda (n)
(if (zero? n)
1
(* n (func-arg (- n 1)))))))

(define fact (Y F*))
(write (fact 8))

Note that F* is a label for a recursive factorial-computing function without a name.

I would like to know how the average is calculated. When I was a noob below 100 Karma, the average was regularly updated to reflect the actual average karma of all my comments. However, this stopped around the time I reached 100. Now, my avg remains fixed at 2.17, a value that I'm sure has nothing to do with my actual ($karma_total/$comments_count) ratio anymore. Does anyone know how this works?
Using Django with my prototyping framework is by no means an endorsement, it just happens to be what I fell into because when I designed the generic HTML5 template I plugged in Django vars and helpers (stubify, etc.) without really thinking through a decision on which templating lib to use.

That said, I did create a generic sketch.template wrapper for Django templates, and I have managed to swap in web.py, tornado and cheetah (sketch being the name of the framework). I have never used Jinja in production, but have been meaning to go back to it, your comment will prompt me to do just that (I assume by asking about it, it is your pref).

I will eventually push the entire framework public once I clean up some parts - it is simple and has a narrow scope/purpose but it is working really well for me
That address field feature is a cool idea. I'd expect other browsers "copying" it soon, which would make it another item on a list entitled "Invented by Opera, popularized by others".
If Google could serve ads with assumptions, they would endorse this assumption.
You're easily amused :)
> If someone can't work for a few days, or even a week, just hangs around watching tv, playing video games or reading, and after this time is again able to work, then this isn't a depression, but just the need for a rest.

This isn't really what I was talking about, though. It's more being unable to work for months at a time, barely managing to push oneself to scrape by, and then having months of easy, limitless energy. Neither period is predictable—I don't become any more akrasic when I do difficult or stressful work, and no amount of pronounced, conscious "relaxing" (avoiding all stressors, doing only fun things, etc.) will give me energy back any more quickly.
So before anyone thinks he is referring to Java on the enterprise in general; he is not.

Java EE 6 is the current Java enterprise solution.

J2EE is the old, e.g. 1.4 or 1.5. Java EE 6 is far better, and technologies like JPA and JTA are quite powerful. There's also a lot less boilerplate code than before. As another poster said, Java EE 6 rocks for enterprise development, particularly with large teams.
Yes. You can choose to view only results from the past year which helps but Google really need to fix the problem of previously highly ranked pages becoming obsolete over time.

Not said ~1 month ago. Actually said ~13 months ago.
you start to wonder why adding a keyboard sudden switches you to a different OS (losing all of the Android apps in the process).

Basically, you can think of ChromeOS as a bare-bones but specially optimized Linux with just one application running on it. (Google Chrome with certain extensions)

It strikes me that "merging" this with Android would be fairly easy! (As far as OS mergers go.)

Now that it's clear that tablets are huge

Yes, but workstations are not going away. Right now, tablets are more about consumption than creation. Cloud-usage patterns are also likely to be huge. I think laptops like the Cr-48 and the Macbook Air are one future direction.

About:
I'm all self taught and always eager to improve my skills and broaden my knowledge. Currently looking for a part time job in tech so I can start attending university for a degree in CS next year.
Had a job in online marketing where I helped maintain a tracking app for 2½ years, but even while there I learned a lot more from working on my own stuff in my freetime than I did at work (at least regarding tech subjects).
Started programming as a teenager over 15 years ago with basic HTML. Always worked on web projects and game dev here and there since then. Been regularly productive since 2015. Specialized in webdev and game programming (although I started the later much more recently).
I view SEO along the exact same lines as cover letters and CVs; if you portray youself well enough then you'll get your foot in the door: the rest is down to you.

The real difficulty is in conversions. For example, I'm looking for a full-time job in my recently-adopted homeland of Poland. I know that I am a kick-ass programmer, but the fact that I struggle with the Polish language means that I'm un-optimized.

I'm now working on the language side of things, and yeah, you'd better expect that 12 months from now I'm gonna kick a metric shedload of ass!

So, take the same view of your website - what's wrong, what doesn't convert, and why - and you'll be sorted.

All it takes hard work, but it is by no means insurmountable.
FWIW, some Pixar guys are currently looking at John Carter of Mars (although it's going to be a non-Pixar film). Like LotR, it has a mottled history of attempted adaptions.

I'm aiming for operational understanding of the data model used over being able to directly work with the config file. If it's a .ini (or other conf) usually you have no idea how the config maps to internal data structures. It's a mystery why some stanzas in nginx work on FastCGI but not Proxies for example.

With a sqlite3 based "config file" you'll be able to use real, turing complete languages to configure it, create control pannels, distribute the config reliably, and you can run .schema to figure out how it's structured.

It's also incredibly reliable and has many great features for this kind of thing.
Sorry, can you explain what you mean?
