Excerpt from https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ50.pdf :

"The copyright law of the United States provides for copyright protection in
“musical works, including any accompanying words,” that are fixed in some tangible
medium of expression. 17 U.S.C. §102(a)(2). Musical works include both
original compositions and original arrangements or other new versions of earlier
compositions to which new copyrightable authorship has been added.

"The owner of copyright in a work has the exclusive right to make copies, to
prepare derivative works, to sell or distribute copies, and to perform the work
publicly. Anyone else wishing to use the work in these ways must have the permission
of the author or someone who has derived rights through the author.
note: Copyright in a musical work includes the right to make and distribute the
first sound recording. Although others are permitted to make subsequent sound
recordings, they must compensate the copyright owner of the musical work under
the compulsory licensing provision of the law (17 U.S.C. §115). For more information,
see Circular 73, Compulsory License for Making and Distributing Phonorecords.

"Copyright Protection Is Automatic

"Under the present copyright law, which became effective January 1, 1978, a work
is automatically protected by copyright when it is created. A work is created
when it is “fixed” or embodied in a copy or phonorecord for the first time.
Neither registration in the Copyright Office nor publication is required for
copyright protection under the law.

Why does https://www.directlyrics.com have a TITLE of "Azlyrics" and an H1 of "Azlyrics" but http://www.azlyrics.com seems to be an entirely unrelated web site? The latter is typically what I end up at when I search for song lyrics if I click one of the first few links (though if I want to read some amusing analysis, usually there is a Genius.com link a few below).
Libinput and button debouncing
Well back in 2004 there was no way to get an actual license. Most lyrics sites claimed to be safe under DMCA or "Educational Use".
Only up until the publishers stood up for themselves, the industry shifted slowly.
Function declarations work like this

typeof myFn === 'function'; // true
function myFn() { }
Well, a cynical person would note that, in deciding to call it a truck, they no longer have to worry about such restrictions.
That's a lot of content to get licensed. You have to individually negotiate with every band and artist to get the license for their lyrics?
Ubuntu 16.04 Partition Scheme on a Single Internal SSD?
Hi,

I recently purchased a "Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD " to replace the 500GB HDD, which came originally shipped with my ASUS Zenbook UX32VD.

I have done a tonne of research online, as to how best to apply a partition scheme to an SSD and what i found is a lot of conflicting and confusing information, such as some schools of thought echoing the use of TRIM and No SWAP partition due to the quick wear that can have on the SSD, whilst some are proponents of just creating one large partition without any customization and yet another camp that rather implement an SSD + HDD configuration, which will not work in my scenario, as i just have a one Drive bay on the motherboard, plus the ASUS does not have a CD bay i could have re-purposed.

Your advice as to how to best tackle this will be much appreciated.

NB: I'm primarily going to be using the system as my development system (Python centric Projects)

Cheers.

Otoh, there exist lookalikes and voice doubles, so this could have been a problem decades ago.
For something that's free and not foisted upon anyone, there seems to be a lot of negativity here. Okay, so it's not as good as you want it to be. Roll up your sleeves and make it happen.

I'm not sure what it's like to maintain the build system, but my experience with CMake as a user has been great. It can even generate makefiles for nmake so I can do Windows builds from the comfort of the Windows command line, although I mostly use it under Linux. Under Linux, I've found that CMake is much friendlier when it comes to helping you fix your dependencies than autotools-based build systems.

Sharing this simple thing because it really saves me time in the last weeks.

I don't need to comb through news about tech I don't use, "celebrities" or the US anymore.

And no more slipping into their comments to procrastinate.
It's a specific genre of webgame though, something is or is not an "io game" it's more than where it's hosted, it's more than whether or not it's an HTML5 game or multiplayer.

A genre is precisely a collection of artistic attributes that occur and are repeated mostly as a historical accident (usually after a pioneer explores the space and follow-ups revisit) and are shared among a collection of works -- they are hard to concisely label with precise descriptive terms so their audience seeks a fairly arbitrary label to describe the collection. "io game" seems reasonable enough to me.

Just the same as (made up example) "Up-tempo minor-seventh-key highly-distorted guitar arpeggios with four-on-the-floor beats and legato vocals" gets called "wailcore" or something, the kids playing these aren't going to say "HTML5 games with an emphasis on large counts of concurrent players, with gameplay arising from emergent behavior of players instead of a large investment in story, art, or game mechanics." a hundred times to their peers -- even if they could consciously notice these attributes and articulate them that way.

They'll start saying "you know, it's kinda like agar.io" "I haven't heard of that is it like <whatever>.io?" "Yeah, exactly" suddenly you have a community of players of "io games". I don't really understand how anyone would expect anything else here.
There may have been a dotcom bubble, but internet companies didn't go away after it popped.

The bubble was fueled by an understanding that the internet was a fundamental shift in the future of the global economy, without it being around long enough to actually do so.

I can see parallels in crypto-currencies, and I think even if there is a bubble, it won't spell the death of crypto.
Most very successful businesses had to bend the rules a bit to get where they are at.
Possibly something weird like Vortex86?
Yes, good eye. A great example of continuious testing SEO opportunities.

What if Google would start ranking directlyrics on specific 'azlyrics' queries? I haven't seen it happen yet, but if it worked... expect it to be reverted next week.
I like that - but how would you enforce it? Wouldn't it actually just deter companies interested in acquiring out of interest in the acquisition's customer data?
Don't feel too bad though about not fully understanding it - M+M is one of my favorite books, and I've re-read it may times, and have read tons of comments, and still I recently found a lecture course on it that showed me I haven't properly understood several important aspects of it. That's how it goes with great literature - it works on many levels.
Even some of their early X2s were unlockable. I'm posting this from a system with a Phenom II 550 X2 Black, running with two extra cores enabled. It has been rock-solid from the beginning, as long as I don't try to overclock it. Temperatures stay within limits as well, even with the stock cooler.

When compiling a large J2EE project in NetBeans, it is slightly faster than my FX 6100, with both systems running solid-state drives.
Or just ctrl+shift+v. Works in most applications but few people are aware of it.
My door locks automatically when its closed - so when if I were to forget my keys, I would get locked out (which has happened, which is why I always carry my keys).
They do have an x64 build as of about a year or so ago. Maybe even a bit longer than that.
I disagree with your assessment that it's a priori fiduciarily irresponsible [1]: it's entirely possible that the extra business gained by having a data self-destruct term would create a better financial situation for the company than having the data available to re-purpose would, and thus would be in the best interest of the shareholders. (There are similar arguments about marketplace health, etc. There's not a strict duty to generate the best financials, per se.)

As a tangent, there's also mechanisms you could use besides something in the bylaws to prevent it -- I don't think you actually need anything but restructuring the contract. (Though, obviously, bylaws or articles would carry more weight.)

[1] I like that phrase!
This is an interesting "hack" and can potentially save lives regardless of commercial success.
Ah, the wisdom of the crowd which accurately predicted in 2016 the Brexit and election of Donald Trump.
My license provider has a database of over 1.2M lyrics.

But matter of fact is that Directlyrics hosts only around 10k. A decision made early on to focus on less pages compared to competitors that needed to rank 1M+ paghes.
I still disagree in this specific case.

2.12 was a major release; even a semi-active developer would recompile. If a dependency did break, then sbt just helped you avoid using an unmaintained library.

Maybe they want to be, to some extent, serialization-format independent?
Maybe we have a very different definition of conferencing, but I don't consider skype capable of conferencing. It can't record conferences (including what is presented), it can't pre-share a link to a planned conference to participants, it can't have the organizer mute/unmute others and grant presenter status (critical for larger-scale online conferences), etc...

I use gotomeeting for conferencing. For an ad-hoc conference I just create a meeting and share the link to it across mail/skype/... to all participants.
I don't see any sexism in this story. Some people just are rude and there are assholes everywhere. What the author describes is a group dynamic going sour and alpha behavior. Everone, male or female, will experience this at some point in their life. That sucks, but it will never change as it is part of the human condition. Also, being a woman doesn't mean you are entitled to emotionel gentler treatment.
Right, so you're using one of your competitors' names quite prominently on your own site? And, er, you think that's ok?
Let's start from applying DDD to, say, W3C.

Will we have better and faster arriving specs?
I believe the edge cases in this would make you wish you never heard of it.
This is public domain, which is very generous, but apparently problematic. E.g. see comments here https://www.red-gate.com/simple-talk/opinion/geek-of-the-wee...:

"If I had known as much about copyright in 2001 as I know now, I probably would have gone with something like the Apache license. Live and learn…"
Travel the path of the solar eclipse
What payment methods do they accept?
I don't know. From what I understand, this is still just a research project, and not something we have immediate plans to integrate into .NET Core. If we did that, though, I don't see why .NET Native wouldn't be considered as well.
Most home users probably allow UDP out of their network. How many businesses by default allow UDP outbound on any port?

Will the documentation/RFC's encourage folks to fail gracefully if UDP is not supported in their network?

Could this spec include support for SRV records? It isn't allowed in http/1.1.
Within the last month or so I got around to reading Native Realm, which I found most interesting. I did think The Issa Valley a very good novel. Those who want to check Milosz out without committing to a long narrative might try one of his books of essays, for example To Begin Where I Am or Milosz's ABCs.
Great story from a great era.

And as I was reading this I was humming Springsteen to myself

"Glory days, well, they'll pass you by

Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days"

Turns out directlyrics doesn't have those lyrics. Google however returned them at top of the search homepage.

And... wow!

TIL there is a version of this great song with a verse that was not included in the original 80s version.

"My old man worked twenty years on the line

And they let him go

Now everywhere he goes out looking for work

They just tell him that he's too old"

Here's the video: https://youtu.be/P5-IoEcolp8

Glory days!
Hope these guys run out of funding
You guys shouldn't read this in the dark ;)
Actually lane splitting has been legislated in the past year and is definitely legal when not >15mph faster than nearby cars.
Empty promises. I don't believe anything anymore, especially from heads of organizations. Perhaps if he were to back it with a contract that says if they do release my data they will pay $x, I'd believe them.
Not only that, there is zero support for UWP and .NET Native.
At an implementation level, you could make it optional for customers to delete their data (preferably opt-out of deletion).

A purchaser looking to woo your clients (and continue to provide your service) rather than exploit your goodwill shouldn't have trouble retaining the majority of the data.

There's no reason to force data deletion, but leaving the choice to customers if they want to trust the purchasing company the way they trusted you prevents a lot of conflicts of interest and abusive behaviors.
Separate research has been done on microcode. The general consensus is that Intel's microcode binaries are encrypted, and are secured with a RSA2048-SHA256 signature.

I agree that his attack on crypto currency is not well reasoned. He says himself he doesn't understand it. But the rest of the memo makes good points.
Given Intel's behavior around the IME, I rather doubt there's an instruction for that. The only verifiable way to do so that I know of, on some chips, is here:

YMMV, not responsible for bricked chips, and note the caveats at the end.
Chrome compilation should be heavily parallelized.
(It is my core use case. I only care about system big project compilation speed. )

The report seems to show Intel 4C/8T is doing better than AMD 8C/16T with much bigger L2/L3 cache config.

Is 7700K really that good? Can anyone from AMD explain this?

Intel (Kaby Lake) Core i7 7700K (91W, $339)
4C/8T, 4.2 GHz, 1MB L2, 8MB L3 17.81

AMD (Zen) Ryzen 7 1800X (95W, $499)
8C/16T, 3.6 GHz, 4MB L2, 16MB L3 16.32
This looks great. Are there any client libraries for access, perhaps similar to AWS's `boto`? Having a hard time finding that on your website ..
Could always apply to OkCupid. They, crazily enough, build their website with C++.
I was actually on the market for a 960 or 980 and was just waiting for a great price.

After reading the original article where they casually suggested they'd sell photos from within my home (in the form of maps), I've scrapped the entire concept. I knew the 900 series had better mapping, but I never considered that someone would use that to invade my privacy (and that of my family).

And this article doesn't change that. You cannot put this genie back in the bottle. Now all I wonder is "when" that data would be sold, whereas before it wasn't even something on my mind.

I currently own a 700 series "bump" Roomba. I think I'll stick to "bump" navigation models without WiFi, since clearly the data will get abused.

PS - I am well aware that certain information about my home is public, such as square footage, floor layout, and so on. This is taking that one step further, by selling even the layout and type of furniture I own. Plus the Roomba uses optical cameras, so who knows how far this could go. Particularly if they just switch it on one day and make it "opt out."
While we are at it, can we compare those approaches to native web app with that of R-studio?

I was quite surprised to see the right-click menu item "inspect element" open up a DOM-inspector of the entire app! I had not suspected it to be like that.
While Intel generally physically disables cores, AMD is usually software
Beware that you won't be able to deploy the code to UWP though.
I'm still waiting for them to build a charging station that can empty the waste bin while it's charging.
Negotiating with the record labels from the get-go before even having a popular site sounds like it would have never resulted in a profitable company. The record labels don't give two shits about whether their licensing deals are equitable. They likely would have tried to gouge the small startup, possibly preventing it from ever growing.
I think the main difference between the extreme left and the extreme right in the US at the moment is that the extreme left is marginalized and holds no power beyond occasionally NIMBYing new cell towers and such, whereas the extreme right holds the Presidency, much of the legislature, and many other powerful positions.

There's nothing inherent about the two which means it has to be this way. It could easily be flipped if circumstances were different. But here and now, the extreme right is much more worrisome.
Not really. If you're doing a multiplayer shooter, solving the lag problem is basic. Otherwise the thing is too annoying to play.

The question is whether you can come up with something more fun than a top-down multiplayer shooter. It's not like there's a shortage of those.

For some reason, the latest fad in indy browser games seems to be parking games. Truck parking. Tank parking. Airplane parking. Crane parking. Maneuvering large vehicles around, slowly. This is at least not warmed-over 1980s console gaming.

Airbnb sued by woman who says she was sexually assaulted by 'superhost'
The how-to "public speaking" responses are useful for the logistics and practical sides, but let's back up a bit:

Step#1: Have something compelling to say about a topic people are interested in. If you aren't sure about that side of things, nothing else will help. Once you have that down, then you focus on delivery, and iterating on the details.
According to that, there is an extra "9" they didn't show, so $3.99 rather than $3.90.

So then if you deleted your 1TB each month, and uploaded new data, you'd be paying 3 times more due to the 90 day minimum charge, so about $12/month in the worst case.
I think the commenter's question was more about _how_ you did it :) (Thanks for answering questions here btw)

Did publishers just reach out to say "hey, pay this fee"? Or did they straight up start with lawsuits/C&D? Or did you reach out to them and say "hey I got this site, how much do I pay you to become licensed?"

He actually posts on here from time to time...

He's fairly prolific and very talented. The only one of his books I wouldn't particularly recommend is his first. The sequel's great, though.

Many of his straight up thrillers e.g. Saturn's Children have well realised universes they inhabit.
I too have worked at organizations that have been configured like this. I speculate that pressure on the limited IPv4 allocations has caused many places that had previously been configured with large public IP blocks, to sell sub-allocations, for profit. NAT certainly does enable this practice but isn't the root cause. Sell those IPv4 blocks for $$$ -- who needs their laptop getting a public IPv4 address anyway?
They're claiming the same 11 9s durability that S3 does. I'd be pretty suspicious of that claim without a track record but it looks like Wasabi's founders come from Carbonite. Bring on the competition, commoditization of fundamental building blocks is great for everyone except people trying to make startup-scale returns on them.
That pleases me. Now if Firefox could catch up....

I can't help but feel that privacy controversies like this are going to turn into a "boy who cried wolf" situation if we freak out anytime anyone collects the least bit of data about us. Who really cares if this company collects and/or sells mapping data of our floors? Why should I be worried if Amazon knows the distance between my couch and coffee table? Isn't our outrage better preserved for when our privacy is truly invaded?
Great they won't sell it, what about requests from the government?

I always drive with a certain slight feeling of unease because of that explosively triggerable thing in front of me. I'd rather not. In no way do I wish to stop anybody else from having these devices in their vehicles - I just wish I weren't forced into having them myself.

The High Five: drive-thru and carry on
Lyrics are copyrighted. Musical scores may be separately copyrighted. Individual performances or recordings of music and lyrics together may also be separately copyrighted.

Typically, the latter is pursued by recording companies, because that is the IP they own or exclusively license. The rest is rarely handled by the individual rights-holders, as they usually just let ASCAP or a similar organization handle the business and litigation end, and just cash the royalty checks.

Licensing the lyrics should be a whole lot cheaper than the music or a specific recording. So it would not cost a lyrics site as much to be fully legit as it would for a music streaming site. Likewise, it may cost less to license a cover band to perform something than to license the recording made of it by a famous group, if the song was not actually written by them. This is why ABC's Dancing With the Stars uses so many covers, but obviously still uses recognizable recordings where Disney already has or can cheaply obtain a performance license.
