Software patents are a US thing, and it's a good thing many don't care about them.

I should have said for-profit software instead of companies, really; the legal entity is quite irrelevant in this case. I said companies because they are entities that: 1) stand to be sued in case of license violations (you typically don't sue a hobbyist project) 2) have the perceived need to maximize profits, and as a consequence want to veer off from anything that might require releasing source code, which might offset a competitive advantage. Thus a hobbyist project being a licensing clusterfuck is a less critical issue, although it is of course an important one (and certainly, depending on the project’s popularity, there may be a vocal portion of people wanting to clarify the situation).

The pain and confusion ratings also do not go into the details which are useful for OSS projects, such as how do licenses interact with each other, how is attribution and re-licensing managed, etc. Not to mention the ratings do not differentiate between pain/confusion for the developer, and pain/confusion for other future developers (e.g. in case of a lib).

(I admit that I tend to forget that there is also hobbyist closed-source software, for reasons I never understand)
> But I think we can trust people enough to not spend too long puzzling over whether "mb" means megabytes or megabits

Please don't assume this. I have the great pleasure working with network Engineers, who have apparently globally decided that bits are a perfectly reasonable measurement of throughput and react very differently to speed in Mb/s and MB/s. I'm not trying to be pedantic or say that this is how it should be, I'm just saying that people really do use both units and it is horribly confusing and anything you can do to not be ambiguous is appreciated.

> It doesn't take an engineer to author a valid complaint when a car door handle falls off. It's another thing entirely to criticize an entire methodology or to try to dictate exactly how something should be done.

But if a car manufacturer consistently uses a production methodology which causes door handles to keep falling off, again and again, even after they've been re-glued on for the Nth time...

Then I think it's fair game to say that you think there's something wrong with the methodology. People suggesting alternate approaches without putting in the actual work involved may very well be "backseat drivers of the Internet"-type commenters, but that doesn't mean they're not on to something.

Uber Releases Diversity Report and Repudiates Its ‘Hard-Charging Attitude’
I had LASEK (a less invasive, longer recovery option to LASIK) a few years ago.

My suggestion is if you are at all interested in the procedure, and I would HIGHLY recommend it, is to find a doctor that performs both styles of procedures, will educate you fully on the pros and cons of both, and will offer recommendations with quantitative reasoning. I went with the LASEK route for many reasons, however my cornea in one eye was too thin to support the correction needed for LASIK with the number of microns lost due to the scalpel incision.

The largest issues are that the outcomes of LASIK/LASEK are quasi-permanent and that there are many more variables involved than just an eye exam, including your own calmness during the procedure.

My doctor offered, as long as the eye can support the number of microns lost due to the correction, to perform a followup surgery if results ended up being poorer than 20/30 after the first surgery, free of charge. It took a few days before I could see the results (an issue with the method of procedure) however I resulted with 20/20 in one eye and 20/15 in the other.
If 98% of the sites generate what is rounding error on your sales, then you measure that benefit against the risk that your brand gets associated with a hate speech site (maybe in the nytimes no less). It's math alright, but it means that the brokers are not adding a whole lot of value.
It's hard to discuss this without using any specific "type-safe" language.

1. you can have the same problem in type-safe language, since it will probably have cast to int too
2. do not use builtin operators in C for that, instead create new functions, e.g. addMeters(Meters a, Meters b);
3. hide the int in *.c file

SnowWorld: VR for Pain Management
Thank you, Ben. I think at the moment i'm getting back on my feet and a project of that magnitude would push me over the edge. I don't think it's as easy as just building an app. and suddenly all Uber drivers will use it. It's a nice idea, naive perhaps, but it does make me sad that the drivers I do speak to seem to be really struggling.
You only get these kind of advices, not when you need them, but when your project is successful ... Everyone want to help a successful project. But while struggling, you get very little help.

What C feature forces or encourages casting Meters* to Yards*?

> You also cannot override operators for combining those units.

The lack of operator overloads has nothing to do with typesafety. There are languages which are considered typesafe and which do not have operator overloading.
The project cost £1.66m. With a total of 83 residents, that's about $25,000 per person. It would be interesting to compare this to the total investment needed for a typical non-renewable power infrastructure. This doesn't seem outrageously expensive, though (as the article mentions) this might be out of reach for communities in developing countries.

Really nice to know an official opinion. While IANAL, I made a small tool to find out what licenses your packages are using:

legally

It should print the licenses and how many times you have them in both a frequency list and a detailed list. I use it mainly to avoid GPL.

I think it's a bit weird that C and curl are used. If we look at C and OpenBSD or so things might look a bit different.

Also one has a hard time comparing curl with another language, simply because something with curl's properties (take portability for example) doesn't exist.

And no that isn't in defense of anything, just me thinking thinking that measurable points brought up in the discussions don't make sense or exist.

The topic is also a bit broader, as you can easily add in static code analysis, compiler flags, stuff like W^C, stuff like seccomp, capsicum, cloudabi, pledge which might not work (well) in other cases.

It's a great philosophical discussion topics and I don't wanna stop anyone, just hoping people keep that in mind, when they participate, so we don't end up with new dogmas that get thrown around for the next few year, without knowing contexts or meaning of phrases.

Other than that: I really enjoy this discussion. :)

Welcome to Alternative Rationality, in which an argument is taken to be a sound one if it has the style of one.

Like Alternative Truth, it has probably been around forever, but what seems to be changing is that the users of these techniques are no longer embarrassed by saying the most ridiculous things, and there is effectively no downside for a politician or lobbyist in doing so.

I have heard that the US SAT essay test scoring guidelines progressively reduced emphasis on judging content (to avoid cultural bias) in favor of judging style (to be fair, this may have changed in the 2016 overhaul.) If so, then, as teachers do teach to the test, this could only have harmed critical thinking.

I don't put C and C++ on the same bag, even though you can write C like code in C++.

While one might not be able to pay for tools for static analysis, there is no excuse to ignore the type safety improvements C++ has over C.

Anyone that writes C with C++ compiler, should keep using a C compiler if he/she wants to stay in the past.

In Vienna, Austria there is an incineration plant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incineration) which burns trash to produce energy. As I understand it, they can't just burn everything at once otherwise they can't control the combustion temperature, which then produces harmful byproducts which must be cleaned out between burns, thus reducing the effectiveness. Perhaps a few plastic bottles here and there mixed inside isn't so bad, but if everyone were to do it, it would cause issues? I do know there are "trash-checkers" who dig through trash cans to find, document and fine offenders (it's apparently a fairly well-paid job too).
I've read the list, and although I have faith in its veracity (except for the "value" column) and Telegram appears to have a bunch of extra features, I'm sticking with WhatsApp. They both have the features I need.

Note that they're both listed in the table as having "End-to-end encrypted chats" (value: "medium"?!)
>No more global warming.

Au contraire, my friend.

Unlimited cheap energy would bring on, in time, the next type of anthropogenic warming: the temperature of the planet being raised, not by a greenhouse effect, but by the raw power output of all those fusion reactors. Even if a good fraction of their thermal output is transformed into electricity, the electricity always finishes as decay heat, with very few exceptions.

The solution for that is to move the Earth farther away from the sun, which reduces solar input. Or injection of coolants such as sulphates in the atmosphere. Even with zero solar input, there's still an upper limit on how much decay heat we can release in the atmosphere without boiling ourselves.
I think you're not looking hard enough. There's lots of operating systems being written in the weirdest languages. So are the toolchains and compilers. People do it for fun - just look at osdev forums. It's not a new thing either, I was doing some development on an AOT CIL compiled, single memory segment system a decade ago. Kind of like Singularity.

But it takes time. Unless you're actually looking for those projects, don't expect to even know they exist during the first 5 years.
He writes "way over three billion instances", I read "way over three billion vulnerable instances" which is a security disaster.
How do you ensure that the code you have access to is the code running on their servers? Having access to some source doesn't help with that.

Unless you strictly use end to end, only after having verified the keys, you are trusting the server quite a lot.
IANAL but I'd guess it depends on the wording. If it's an "AND" (as your question suggests), the most restrictive would apply while if it's an "OR" (as it's common when dual-licensing) the less restrictive would apply.
That doesn't seem to be possible:

Something better :)

Honestly, nothing is 100% convincing, but if I could pick anything, I'd use HMTL with some templating magic (for generating references).

It still leaves the issue of positioning floats and page breaks, which is really non-trivial, even if you already had a "spatial model" of what the generated HTML would look like (I know of no such library, but do tell if you know of it).

TBH, floating figures is a non-issue for the web, where you can just position them in the flow. It's only in print that this is an issue. I'd be fine to put figures on separate pages, but that might be a waste of paper.

Podcast advertising is really not the same as the ad networks on a blog or website. It's far more analogous to the advert spots that radio does.

It doesn't even need to be particularly native advertising. I've listened to a bunch of ads on Dan Carlin's Hardcore History that are completely unrelated to the subject of the podcast.
Why is it an integer number?

Entropy (in bits) is defined as - \sum_x (p(x) log_2 p(x))

There is no reason this has to be an integer, since probabilities are not restricted to being reciprocals of powers of 2.

Consider also that you can simply use a different logarithm base to get a different unit (e.g. use the natural logarithm to obtain the entropy in nats). It would be bizarre if the arbitrary choice of 2 as the base gave a unit that was indivisible.

I think this whole confusion comes down to the difference between a bit as a "unit of information in the sense of information theory" [divisible] and a bit as a "single physical one or zero" [not divisible]. The relationship between the two is that the entropy of a random variable is a lower bound on the average number of bits required to represent it.

Probably, but it's also intuitively obvious to anyone who's owned a car, or a house, or otherwise been responsible for the function of any reasonably complex machine. Things wear out. Things break. They have to be repaired or replaced if the process of which they're a part is to continue.

Knowledge is a crucial part of that, too. The Saturn rocket program is a great example - if we decided to go back to the moon tomorrow, we'd be a decade or more in the doing of it, because all the people who knew how to build those rockets, and the tools to build those rockets, and the tools to build those tools, and so on - are by now retired or deceased. We'd have to figure all that stuff out all over again, as nearly from scratch as makes no odds. There's no reason to imagine any other similarly complex technology would be different.
