If that were true, BSD-licensed projects like PostgreSQL, LLVM, Xorg, or Apache would die off long time ago, replaced by their GNU-licensed counterparts. Yet we're witnessing the exact opposite happening.

Licenses don't work like you think they do. In fact, they work backwards: the decision whether to release the source or not doesn't depend on the license, it's the license - and thus the choice of existing software to base your work on - that depends on the decision on whether not to release the source.

BSD makes it possible to release your changes if - and when - you see fit. GPL - doesn't. That's why companies like Sony or Juniper couldn't base their products on Linux. Sure, Sony doesn't give back - but eg Juniper does.
That's exactly what I thought. Not used it professionally for a while (and then older compilers) and vaguely knew there were a lot of changes around memory management.

But was it that hard before? Constructors, destructors and operators were fine... weren't they?
Mostly it's not about what they do, it's about what they DON'T do...
What happens in our markets up here (MA and NH) is the new building owner inherits the leases of the existing tenants and must fulfill the obligations of those leases. I assume the laws are similar in CA.

Once the building owner and tenant both fulfill that which they’ve agreed to, they can mutually choose to extend renew or not. If the building owner wants to redevelop, they need to wait for leases to run their term or they need to buy out of the lease with each tenant.

When they do that, they’ve fulfilled their end of the bargain. If a tenant wants more than that, they can negotiate (and pay for) lease renewal options. Most residential tenants do not (most commercial tenants do), but should then not be surprised when they don’t have that ironclad option to extend the lease that they didn’t choose to buy.

Well you either make them equal to the rest or keep them at the bottom.

I read an article about him recently, basically he was racist towards africans, and also refused antibiotics for his wife which died because of that. Argument was that no foreign agent should be inside her body or something similar. When he got seriously sick, he happily accepted medicine though.

I guess any influential/powerful figure has their dark side. Perfectly fine, balanced and nice people don't end up in the spotlight, they just live their ordinary lives and die their ordinary deaths. And sometimes, the dark side can be pretty deep one, especially after some time passes and societal norms change (ie Churchill discussed here recently too).

I presume we all have some darker side which we are aware of, that's why maybe the very strong desire to idolize somebody who is so high above the rest.
I still think it would be impossible to totally eradicate the banning of traditional cars even in 2050 as it is still the main point of commerce of most part of Britain. I'm sure most fortune 500 automotive company will try to hinder this kind of law as they are still relevant in country's profit and they are developing new model of combustible cars.I believe a much cooperation with fuel powered automotive is the key and let them consider developing electric car should be an agenda first, before banning fuel cars.
Do people actually complain about that? I've never heard anyone in the real world even mention gov.uk.
> Please show your evidence that global trade is a zero sum game and that the "imperial core" has reaped all the benefits.

I didn't say it was zero sum. Poorer nations have experienced some growth, and a lot of that growth has been extracted by the West. Generally, the more a developing country has embraced globalization, the worse it has been exploited. This is not a hugely controversial statement.

If you'd really like to understand the power dynamics, you'll need to do some reading. Former World Bank chief economist Joseph Stiglitz's "Globalization and its Discontents" is a good start, though a little dated now.

See you on the picket lines, comrade!
I find parts of his claim dubious... Specifically the Apple + CBP timing conspiracy.

However, the rest seems more than fair - Apple won't even sell the parts to authorized repair shops, nor will they repair the laptops themselves.

He believes the batteries he ordered are genuine Apple parts, and I see no reason to doubt that. Shenzhen has entire buildings filled with both genuine and fake Apple parts.
I have a hard time imagining how somebody could be opposed to this and pretend they have anything but selfish motivations.

Emissions kill people. They kill the elderly. They kill people with asthma. They give people cancer. Your car is an instrument of death even if you don't hit anyone. Parts of the UK have appallingly bad air quality (by regional standards; obviously it's not Beijing).

People are dying en masse but because you can't see it and say "my car was the one that killed them" most people just. don't. care.

Also the majority of trips are short enough to be done via bike or ebike if you give people safe routes to do so, something the UK has been completely unwilling to do.
I'm not quite sure why they say q35 chipset has bugs, I'm currently running Mojave without bugs on a q35 configuration. Also, they're making questionable choices regarding keyboard and mouse configuration. What you should really be doing is passing through a complete USB3 controller (either from the Chipset or from an external USB3 pcie card), with a mouse and keyboard attached to it. Finally, I would recommend using an AMD RX500 series card, which has native support in macOS, and absolutely no extra Clover flags required (10.13.6 and up).

Also, the guide assumes a lot from the reader (someone who already knows how to do PCIe passthrough in qemu).

I wrote a guide here that explains everything I wrote above, and actually starts from the basics:

How to build a website like AirBnB
Currently all BEVs charge at their maximum rate the moment they are connected to the charger. Which almost always happens in late afternoon or early evening. I.e. the exact time when the energy usage is at a peak already. While there are many ideas regarding how this load can be pushed into the dead of night, nothing concrete has even been proposed, yet. So I wouldn't dismiss this issue that quickly, especially when we are talking about a (theoretical) rapid adoption of BEVs.

From your previous comment:

> I have no intention of becoming or finding good becoming a walking lexicon of obscure algorithms and minutiae.

This implies that you think that heaps are obscure and minutiae. If that wasn't what you meant I'm not sure why you brought it up in a discussion about heaps.

> I understand that it is highly unpopular that some particular knowledge is unnecessary -

what is highly popular today is the idea that knowledge is unnecessary because you can always google it. You can't google what you do not know it exist.

Here some traffic lights have cameras that detect when you cross at red and automatically send you a ticket, and it's a grave offense (cost 4 points out of 12 on the license).
They all have portability layers for a long while now.
Electricity is far more expensive than gas. I would even factor the cost of not having a gas line when choosing to purchase a property. Commercial dryers, such as in hotels, are also gas. Actually, the only time I’ve seen electric dryers are in apartment buildings too old to have been hooked up with gas lines.
It would be interesting to hear Apple story during the keynote about why they decided to go with USB-C instead of the lightning port we are used to.

My questions are around the usage of it:

- How have users taken to the tool? Have they needed ongoing support, or once trained they understand what to do?

- Were alternatives considered? Or was the complexity such that a workflow was the only way users could control this?

- Do people ever manage to design impossible flows?

- Anything about the use-case you're able to say, for where the tool is needed by users (and not just as an easier way for developers to adjust the system)

Brave is supposed to protect the privacy but in reality, their business model is about ads.
It's like pedophiles giving advices on how to protect your kids from danger.

Of course they know about it, and I wouldn't give my kids to them.

Brave is essentially trying to become a mix between a pay-to-surf and an rogue ad replacement software.

They have dozens of millions of dollars raised (= in debt), this is very big money to pay back at least 5 times.

By definition, since they are an ad company, they are ok to block the trackers, just not the ones that affects them.

For example, Brave doesn't block Yahoo & Bing ads and trackers, why ?
Advertiser pays Microsoft Bing, who pays Yahoo, who pays DuckDuckGo, who pays Brave.

To verify it, you can make a search on DuckDuckGo using Brave and check where the ads link point to by copy-pasting it ;)

Of course technically they could block these trackers but they are never going to do it.

The is the main revenue source of Brave, and this is one of the big reasons why DuckDuckGo is growing fast.

What do you still connect to iTunes for? I think the iDevices have been standalone-first for many years now and if anything iTunes as a hub has been falling behind and losing functionality.
Yes, if you're keeping pointers. The thing is, the gain is completely wiped out by maintaining the heap invariant which has to copy the whole thing instead of walking a single branch. The same memory bandwidth issue plagues B trees.
This shows up with big trees. For small, again, you're better off with a list.

Van Emde Boas trees are better but yet more complex still. (And colored pointer variant is not available for them)

The tradeoff is speed of write vs read in case of heaps. They have pretty bad write performance.

Why not raise tax instead of banning?

You can tax cars and fuel. You can make a predictable scheme for the next 20 years (i.e. fuel will raise about 4% per year,...) This gives the economy time to adopt.

But please no exceptions.
Thank you. We’re A/B testing the text copy and the animated stuff.

I don't see how this refutes anything.

You cannot experience being asleep, but what you experience is waking up, having been asleep. I find this consistent with the fact that approximately 100% of the time I experience is me being awake.

Having been unconscious is also an experience with p>0. It's only having been dead where (as far as we know) p=0. Not temporary dead: dead, dead; since it's defined as having been conscious (even if on and off) and then never being conscious again.

It's similar to being born: you don't experience anything before, but it's p=1 for you being born if you're experiencing it.

It's not refuting anything, only changing the axioms.
Top New PC Shooters You Cannot Miss
Oh, I read them. I simply firmly disagree with them and my personal experience of 15+ years finding and fixing security issues flys in the face of your statements. We clearly test software for bugs very differently.

I made specific arguments and use cases to justify my position and you have simply told me I am wrong without directly addressing them.

Once again, I find the term "expert" overrated. I for one admit I am not an expert on security, a field that is already hard enough on auditors like myself without withheld source code.

I have also worked with a half dozen or so security auditing firms all of which stated source code access would make their job much easier.

It didn't take me hours of blackbox testing for me to find CVE-2018-9057. It took me 20 minutes of reading code on Github half asleep at 4am because I was curious about an unrelated bug.

I remain convinced blackbox testing would of very probably never found that vuln, and even if it did, not in as short of a time period. I trust Terraform over closed alternatives because it was patched within a couple hours of me mentioning it on IRC by a peer who submitted the bug report and patch in one shot. I could verify the source code fix easily and compile the new binary myself to take advantage of the patch before Hashicorp even merged it.

I can also easily verify there are no regressions in future releases.

Tell me how you go about solving for this or other subtle cases like stego exfiltration more easily -without- source code. Also how you or your team could of patched the issue yourself without source code.

If I really solved this the hard way then I will by all means move my security engineering career to focus more on blackbox testing as you seem to be advocating for.
Interesting! :)

It's a combination. And as more and more goods transition from purely mechanical/electrical through electronical to software-defined, this problem is going to get even worse.
An echo of the Youtube effect; it's less work for the producer. Just turn on the cameras and start babbling, no editing, annotating, summarizing, or other further work required.

Wow, what a mixup of terminology.

We're on a thread about residential internet modems. In this context, "coax" means "DOCSIS" (i.e. internet over cable TV), as opposed to fiber and telephone (DSL). UTP is absolutely useless as a residential uplink, as 100 meter gets you nowhere. Telephone cables are shit, so DOCSIS and fiber is where its at.

However, you seem to be talking about direct attach cable ("DAC"), which absolutely no one mentioned. As someone who worked at a network equipment manufacturer, absolutely no one calls direct attach cables "coax". They're often called "twinax" (which is a type of coax), although this terminology is misleading and entirely irrelevant. Also, they're kind of pointless these days.

And no, while 10GBase-T is a thing, the pluggables are too expensive to make the activity worthwhile. Run fiber—it's not really more expensive, and it's future proof for when you need to setup 25G or 40G soon.

In India, there might be no Uber left very soon[1]:

> This rivalry has been less welcome to Japanese technology giant SoftBank, which holds large stakes in both Uber and Ola. Encouraged by their common shareholder, the pair have held talks on a potential merger, according to people with direct knowledge of the discussions. That move would create a business controlling almost the entire Indian ride-hailing market, which last year had revenue of at least $2.1bn, according to RedSeer Consulting.

The same will probably happen in Latin America, where Didi bought 99 taxis, a Brazilian-based ride hailing company that it is specifically focused on dominating the region[2].

In the long run, I expect Uber as a brand to exist only in English-speaking markets.

+1 for vinegar, I would add that it helps a lot with sporty clothing that you sweat through and through often. Especially with synthetic, they tend to get some nasty stench that doesn't go away with normal washing. Vinegar helps with that
Unless you were assaulted there or something, the fact that you haven’t been able to work in 8 years is probably indicative that there’s something you personally need help with rather than something structurally wrong with Google.
Possible, but I'm not convinced that this is a given. You have UV v mechanical tumbling and deformation. Line drying is also quite a lot faster on on a warm day.
Why was the fork necessary? Is the electron project hostile to changes?
No, all fair points.

For my case, I figure it has in recent years started to give a return. I had to repair it (myself) with parts for $40 once. It has certainly been running for much more than 4000 hours.

Looking at the greater picture, the power mix here is about 50% nuclear and hydro, the rest from burning garbage in combined heat (heats the whole town) and power.

You can tell it's not using as much power as our previous dryer, the bathroom would get sauna hot if you closed the bathroom door and also the clothes would take longer to dry - with the Miele there isn't much difference with the door open or closed either in drying time or room temperature. It's also less wear and tear on the clothes. The clothes come out consistently "dry" instead of between "humid" and "extra crisp" with the old dryer.

Stepping away even further from the picture, I actually prefer hanging to dry (clothes don't wear out as fast and I actually enjoy the slight stiffness of textiles hung to dry, a childhood thing I guess) but my (soon to be ex-, thank God) wife swears by the dryer, so... a dryer it was. And I have to admit, it's damn useful at times.
i played with it briefly when the s8 came out but i dont believe that much has changed with it since then. the idea is all well and good i guess but the reality is that most of us have plenty of desktop devices already and as a general rule theyre more useful than a basic desktop environment on an ARM based system

unless for some reason you have a monitor, keyboard and mouse but nothing to connect to them it may suffice for something but id argue that even a raspberry pi is more versatile
As a people style thing I’ve encountered two broad types of engineers - the intuitive types, and the detail types. Neither type is wrong but it’s a different set of desires and interests. The detail type wants to ponder every corner case and every possible use (that the specific engineer cares about). The intuitive type can find this infuriating. They’d rather just build it and learn as they go. They have aesthetic tastes and feelings about different layers and they just go with their gut. I’ve seen both types be very effective. An intuitive type with good taste Will just have a sense of what to build and roughly why, but with many specifics left open. A detail type who is good can get to the neatest parts of a problem(maybe even rephrase the problem a bit differently) and solve it well, so well that it builds a foundation that everything else fits into easilt and with less grief. I think for both types a key aspect is being curious about the right things. Everyone has a different list of things they find interesting and other things they find to be grunt work and/or limiting as you said. Being aware of your own list of these is useful. Adding things to the list that the industry will hire you for could be called career management
