It depends. IANAL YMMV etc.

If you don't want to do anything with the code you do, you've got two options:
1. sell it to him
2. burn everything.

If you want to do something with the code, and go your own way ... HIRE A LAWYER.

Seriously, your friend could lawyer up and things could get nasty.

In fact if you're considering the first two options, hire a lawyer as well.
You might get accused of destroying 'his' intellectual property.

Seriously, HIRE A LAWYER.

You might lose a friend, but you'll at least be doing the right thing by the both of you.

Arch Linux is also working on providing tools so our users can download a package, point a script at it and have the package recreated with all the info provided in .BUILDINFO. This includes the source location and a list of packages present on the system when the package was created.

We are a couple of steps away from actually providing this, but we will hopefully get there soon enough.
Qt isn’t built in.
Mandatory learning something related to the work. Either the company schedule professional classes for that or reimburse the equivalent amount of money if you self-learn.

Assuming your employees to know everything and not let then learn is a path to your organization's downfall.

Ben Horowitz makes a good case about it in his book The Hard Things About Hard Things
This will encourage centralization to the few big services that can afford to build a Content ID system for recognizing copyrighted content. It will cement the position of big players like Facebook and YouTube, and squash any small startup that might try to compete with them.
Another thing is that the media are licensed, so they cannot go against the government out of fear of losing such license. Now, one could assume that this copyright thing is a smokescreen to introduce EU wide censorship as everything users upload would have to be checked for "copyright breach".
indiscriminate use of systemic antibiotics
I'm a consultant, the biggest thing to understand is that you don't work for the company, you work for the individuals in the company. You need to immediately start solving what they think is the problem, to build the capital to solve their actual problem.

Ex. Company thinks they need more developers to ship on time (you). First, make sure you're getting tickets done and helping them with the metrics they know, then change the process to fix them for good once you have their trust.

If you skip to step 2, you've got someone angsty with a career on the line who 'isn't getting what they paid for'.
I was kinda skeptic about federation at first (mastodon, GNU.social etc), but i've installed and tested a nextcloud platform for one of my client and i've been really impressed so far.

It's clunky, a bit bloated (for me, TUI > GUI for 90% of apps, so take it with a grain of salt) and have an average documentation (a pretty good documentation for a free software /s). But despite that, once installed successfully, it is better than most free cloud services i have used imo, except maybe gDrive (integration with email, android calendar and gSuite is hard to beat).

If other federated services can see light, and if people start to care about it, internet will be a better place i think

(sightly related: is lichess federated too? I know you can host a server yourself, but i'm not sure if it's true).
I think you’re making some quite wild assumptions about motivation and impact of the use of various substances.

If you looked at those that literally are making those profound advancements you’re worried about losing, you’d also often be looking at those that moderately and recreational partake in some of these substances.

The people that partake but still excel aren’t as visible as those that don’t get themselves off the couch. You mistakingly assume that it’s purely about escapism and wasting away as a result.

I think you’d be quite surprised at the number of successful, motivated people that don’t feel the need to get a “quick fix” that partake.

Many find it helps creativity for example (and research backs this up). If you’re going to put any stock in research then the assumptions your making about motivation and impact simply doesn’t jive with what’s being observed.

It’s all beside the point anyway. Ultimately we have to decide what the role of the government has in regulating things like this and what metrics it uses to decide. Whatever those are they should be consistent. From my point of view though they’ve been anything but that. With so many prescription drugs being more addictive, more deadly, and often with fewer potential benefits than substances that are restricted even from research it’s hard to reason about.

The majority of the drug policy is less about the science (both medical and social) and more about perception and politics.

A quick aside. If it’s escapism you have an issue with then really the entire entertainment industry should be in your laser sights. Capitalism definitely has a strong embrace of promoting and capitalizing on escapism. Drugs are hardly a significant contributor here.

EDIT forgive the rambling nature of the post.
I expect companies to migrate to saner regulatory environments and geofilter the EU. VPN/Tor will help circumvent this.

I think the first thing you should implement is your own understanding of the current codebase and processes. I have seen it now several times that new guys come in and immediately push for their pet architecture without even trying to consider that we are not complete dummies and a lot of things are there for a reason or are at least not that easy to change. Usually it ends with them being rejected and then getting frustrated because they didn't get their way.

On the other hand we also have people come in, help with the current codebase and after a while they make proposals for improvement that are based in reality. These people integrate well and are quickly respected team members.

Well, somebody's got to take the fight to US tech titans. They're unhealthy for every economy.
Yes. For example meneame.net, a Spanish news aggregator, has no links to any major Spanish newspaper, because a law of this sort is in place in Spain. They would have to pay to link or quote in any way, which includes a description of the link in most cases. Basically you can't write any meaningful text in your <a href=></>.
Sure, "premature optimization is the root of all evil" and so on. But what I find much worse, is that hashing algorithms are put side-by-side without any context, making it look like MD5 is better than SHA-2. That's downright irresponsible.
> What I will say is that if you build a web app right now and you utilize CSS and the DOM, you at least have the option of making a user friendly experience. If you compile with Qt and publish to the web with the implementation they have right now, you don't get that option. Your app will, objectively, be worse than even the Facebooks and Grubhubs and Twitters and whatever of the web, at least by the metrics I care about.

That's hardly a fair comparison though. CSS and DOM are, by now, established technologies (with which I still cannot reliably center something -- which I can achieve on Qt by dragging and dropping things in a UI builder -- but I digress...), whereas Qt's support for this stuff is basically at PoC level.

As for everything else... I think we definitely use different web applications and different Linux applications :-). Ease of scraping aside -- which is a valid concern in general, but hardly so much of a problem with FOSS software, where, if I need the data that the application uses, I can usually hack it to dump its data in far less time than I can write a reasonably reliable web scraper) -- my experience with web applications has been slowly declining over the years, to a point where I've dumped almost every web application I've used.

Case in point: the World Cup is big these days. Google's "dashboard" or whatever they call it for this event -- which I find very representative for today's web -- drives me nuts:

- I can't scroll with Page Up/Page Down

- Clicking the big "X" in the match view page takes you back to the search page, not the dashboard, even though you reached the page from the dashboard so "closing" that "window" should just give you back the damn dashboard!

- You cannot select anything, not even stuff like statistics, which really can't be under copyright protection

- If I click the name of a player, I get to a Google search about him (awesome). If I click the "back" button from that page, I get back to the dashboard homepage? If I click a team in the Tables view, I get to a team-specific view; if I click "back" now, I'm back to the Tables view, not the dashboard homepage. I have no plausible description of the logic behind this.

- And, due to CSS being CSS, some of the table headers overlap

And don't get me started about the latest design innovations, like oversized, nondescript widgets, huge empty spaces that make you scroll umpteen screens for fifty lines of data, infinite scrolling (dear God...) or, worse, that thing which "scrolls" one screen at a time with animation effects so that it looks kindda like powerpoint slides.

I also appreciate how easy it is to "fix" a bad widget in a web app's UI, but I can't remember the last time I needed to fix one in a native application (well... except for some of the more questionable choices in GTK3, again).

I think we just want really different things here :)
Transactions isn't the issue; you can push a lot per second.

The problem is throughput, and wait time.

Throughput, is the whole block size problem; and that whole can of worms.

Most people don't want to wait an hour plus or minus, for a transaction to be classified as safe. Zero confirmation transactions, the seller takes all the risk.

> If users refuse to pay for subscriptions and keep blocking ads for reasons that have nothing to do with privacy or security, pretty soon as-blockers will become illegal.

We Ad-Blocking software users laughed about that already in the 90s. Think about it. Same goes for DRM. A giant waste of money.

The net grew from then on and it still is while computing power, web design, etc. got cheaper. So how do you explain it to yourself? Just think about it for a moment.

There is no other justification then the need to generate MORE revenue. This is why you get less for more.

The more google rapes here those who make the content for them, the essence of their existence, the more they threaten this part of their business because with every step away from centralized businesses like YouTube, they'll lose revenue or good. It won't come back. Nobody is coming back to Myspace or Facebook. In the end they just need to not be popular anymore and that doesn't take much or long those days.

Don’t worry, the (federal) government will still have no problems getting their hands on it.

Any progress on privacy is great, but it doesn’t buy much as long as underlying issues aren’t solved. We still have a legal system that has no issue with nearly unlimited surveillance by the federal government which is set up by what is essentially secret law.
CRC is fine in this case.

Oh, they should use SHA anyway because why not, but CRC is only vulnerable to deliberate manipulation or exceedingly abstruse bit-flips.

Personally, I prefer the American side more. It has a more park like feel to it where you can enjoy the falls while sitting on the lawn, away from car honks and road noise. The Canadian side seems like an urban jungle with the waterfalls take a side step to tall hotel buildings and casinos.
Well you did write Ripple and XRP so you can see how one could be confused. :)

When/if financial institutions start using Ripple the protocol for real then I will agree that it creates a real value for customers.

If I order an eval kit for the latest RPi clone and I do not use it after a week of evaluation it is debatable whether the kit created a real value for me.
I love how Facebook has solutions to problems that I just would have thrown more money at.

"Those measures, such as the use of effective content recognition technologies, shall be appropriate and proportionate."

They may as well request providers to deploy magical leprechauns riding on rainbow unicorns, because such "effective" technologies don't exist. Case in point: Google's copyright detection.
That means if you have a website a third party would have control over everything that is being uploaded to it.

Separate claim for each lost day then.
True, but what I think s_kilk was getting at is that sometimes (especially in software) a bad developer will put a "fence" somewhere without a reason. And if that person already left the company, maybe you can never find out why.

That's why it's important to start with some testcases of required behavior, and then refactor only code that is supported by tests. Because sometimes the fence is there for a reason, but often it's not.
The other thing about credit reports is that 1) companies not in the business of providing credit have an uphill battle to claim that you're indebted to them, and 2) you can challenge such things, and the law requires them to show evidence.

Due process has favored debtors for some time now, but the information isn't published, leaving shady "credit cleanup" companies to charge hundreds to do what you can do in many cases simply by logging into a website.
More likely the hacks are there because requirements changed and the software wasn't initially built to be flexible enough to support change.

A rewrite will solve it in the short term - until requirements change again.

However, I would much rather apply the new 'hacks' onto the rewritten 10 line function than figure out the original 200 line behemoth.

Note that integer literals and float literals are still distinct; `1` cannot be interpreted as a float, nor can `1.0` be interpreted as an integer—though `1f32` is actually legal (this surprised me; I don’t know when it became legal), while `1.0u32` isn’t.

>"typical DSP code does calculations using predictable memory access patterns and usually contains very little logic."

Thanks, that's what I was missing - the access patterns of signal processing is what makes VLIW a good fit.

Is there any other use case where VLIW architectures are prevalent or are DSPs the primary use case?
It is very easy to block VPN, Tor and other technologies. These can be in fact criminalised the same way drugs are. Possession of a VPN on your device could give you a criminal record.
The last point is unsupportable. The increase in crime rate started in the 1960s: https://cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/2016/07/Violent-Crim.... By 1982, when Reagan declared the war on drugs, violent crime had nearly quadrupled since 1960, and was near the eventual 1992 peak. It had already more than doubled by 1972 when Nixon first used the phrase “war on drugs” (though it wasn’t Reagan that actually waged that war).

An explanation that fits the data better is that drugs were a scapegoat for a distingegrating society and an explosion in crime.

Nailing your complaints about X to the door of X, does not support X. Uploading it to YouTube makes the network effect bigger because anyone who wants to hear what you want to say will have to go to the site. It works more like vouchers, where you get a discount (technically worse for the store because they get less money) but because you'll have to go to the store to redeem it, and you'll probably buy more, it's worth it.
So Google gets licenses to link to new sites for free, but smaller companies and private people's website cannot link to news sites?

You can't set it up without the Python binary you want already being on the machine which may be a hassle if you are chasing "latest" and you have machines in your ecosystem that run old stuff, for instance, Jenkins nodes.
Good point. And people with similar mindsets/POVs tend to be at the top of such large organizations. I think there's just a certain way of being in the world that makes some people inclined to a) want to be in charge, and b) downplay these kinds of diffuse, semi-intangibly-expensive problems. We need better ways of explaining problems to them.

There's some context missing here. AFAIK the author of the repositories was specifically doing micro-benchmarks here to inform the design of his https://github.com/cornelk/hashmap library. I think for that use case (designing a high-performance lock-free data structure), that kind of micro-benchmarking makes a lot of sense.

That hash map looks good and I'm thinking we'd probably benefit from using it on the hot path of some code we have that needs to be highly scalable.

Wow, I just finished reading "Mortal Engines", a collection of short stories by Stanislaw Lem, and have moved onto "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" by PK Dick. The kind of coincidence that would no doubt inspire Dick to write something!

The last story in Mortal Engines - "The Mask" - ranked easily as good as Dick's work and perhaps even bested it in its narrative of eccentric psychological states.

True, but that doesn't really contradict the premise of my comment.

The assumption of ones own race being the default color for humans (rather than an arbitrary value) that leads to facial recognition software being trained on a data set so narrow that the resulting software can't even recognize skin colors that diverge from that norm is as much about implicit, albeit unintentional, racial bias as it is the particular technical problems involved and the need for engineers to cut costs and meet deadlines.

It's not entirely racist, but racism is a component.
