To add to my earlier, as a personal note, this is frustrating to me, because the text is clearly worded to target the likes of Google and YouTube without calling them out by name, while exempting pretty much all of academia, hobbyist sites, small businesses, intranets, and content platforms that don't actively promote and significantly profit off of their collection and curation of low-effort, low-remix, non-OC, verbatim reposts of someone else's copyrighted content.

Yet, through the lobbying of interested parties the message becomes deliberately muddled. Sites like Reddit spread the FUD because were it not for their status as a small enterprise, the letter of the law could threaten their business model of aggregating large amounts of user-submitted content and profiting off of ads surfaced adjacent to them -- ironically, the old Reddit before ads would likely be exempt entirely. They see this law as an existential threat and lobby against it; this I can understand.

What puzzles me is parties like the EFF and Wikimedia Foundation spreading the FUD. Wikimedia would clearly be exempt. What gives?
Thank you! I hope you'll be trying it out!
HN doesn't fall under EU jurisdiction, so even if they did violate it, I'm doubt it would be enforced.
Yes, but the difference is subtle. The theory might still be true after all, but only for a particular subset.

"We've tested the theory that 'swans are white', and it turns out the swans in our test were all black". (The conclusion isn't that swans aren't white, it's that some swans are, while others are black.)

(add.: the article mentions the 'WEIRD' category. Obviously the applicability/set range of a theory matters. If it only holds for "people who, between 2 and 5 pm on Sunday are walking around in Reading with a bowler hat.". Well, that's nice, but not very useful.)
All the labs working on this spoke to each other, collaborated occasionally, and saw each other at conferences. So making a big stink about this wouldn’t have made life easier. Plus peer reviewers for submitted papers are “hidden” but because the field is so niche they are likely people you know, and they know who you are when you publish (reviews aren’t double-blind), so it could hurt your career if the PI became angry at you and started bad-mouthing you to to the other labs.
Another simple libre CAD program is SolveSpace. It works more like Autodesk Inventor - you draw 2D sketches, pull them into 3D in different ways, repeat, and add constraints to features along the way. Very good for the dimensionally-accurate stuff people model in Fusion360. (Nearly useless, I might add, for organic stuff like the mosquito in the Dust video.)

I agree with your sentiment. I do not like this at all. Feels like somebody is playing with the 'Balance' knob on my equipment. I prefer close reproduction of the original music.

Somewhere were I can separate voices of back singers, where I can position mentally, where instruments are (if acoustic performance).

Instead this 8D thing I just listened (Bohemian Rapsody) -- sounded horrible. Quality of recording is bad, muffed and then amplified, and the constantly and unnaturally shifting balance of sound -- just felt annoying.

I am wondering if the onset of low-quality, heavily modified audio chips/earbuds, and recordings that proliferate YouTube and mobile devices -- is one of the cause of the new 'modify-shit-out-of-original' trend.

I might be missing your point or simply have a hard time understanding this anti FOSS rethoric.

I'm reading that you'd pay a third party so you can trust open source code and think that FOSS somehow exposes commercial code to more risk in some kind of cyber warfare? How is that not complete FUD? You already have the option to pay vendors like redhat for many open source software components if liability is your only concern, the same is true for many of the more complex libraries out there.

Closed source on the other hand would mean buying every single piece of code or paying in house devs to write that code. I get the quality concerns raised here up to a point but just because a company paid somebody to write something doesn't mean it's not effectively written by a solo dev under heavy time constraints. Except with FOSS you at least have the chance to go in and inspect/fix the thing yourself if needs be.
You could keep it very tight. IME it’s the index overhead that kills (1000 times as much data makes inserts 10x slower), and ever since partial indexes became a thing that’s a bit less of a problem.

Also deleting is far from free of side effects.

And in the same ways-- studious, indifferent to sports (in Boston! Holy shit!). It's definitely not environment. We'll all be watching a game (even my wife) and he'll go read history or something.

Haha. Yes.

Autodesk has a new office in Portland and I attended the Fusion 360 community meetup a few weeks back.

At that meeting they debuted their new pricing plans and demoed some pretty fancy functionality called generative design that was def not useful to the largely hobbiest attendees in the crowd.

It definitely feels like there is a niche of sub-fusion use case where you are doing simple commercial product design but not at a rate worth a $300 license from autocorrect

You’re making a ton of assumptions. Maybe the milk of mammals is more nutritious to mammals than spider “milk” would be.
I’m sort of ambivalent about the game and it’s largely because I have two young kids at home and have maybe an hour at a time to play and the amount of what I would call ‘empty’ time in the game really stands out.

There have been times where I’ve done all the work I need to do to get some unbroken alone time, spent 40 minutes playing and gotten absolute nothing accomplished which really sucks given that it might be the only time I could play that week.

I get that it’s atmospheric but as a dad game it just sucks.

I’d like to be able to load the game and play through a couple of missions quickly without all the faffing about brushing my horse and crafting and hunting and what not.

Basically my life is full of enough chores that I don’t need games that simulate doing more chores.

This is a unfortunate statement, as there are many reasons to game. I'm guessing you havent really spent much time gaming. For me, the most important part of gaming for me is sharing time with my far-flung-friends. We're not watching a tree fall, we're building a campfire together. Sharing GTA5's space with 7 friends is much better than a group video call with the same crowd, for example. Acknowledgment from others doesn't even rank on the list of reasons why I game.
I quite liked GTA4 but just couldn't get into 5, in part for the reasons you mention. RDR2 on the other hand comes close to giving me the enjoyment that RDR gave me (and surpasses it in some ways).
FWIW, your examples aren’t hard sciences per se. The term hard science is referring to natural world subjects like physics, chemistry, biology and astronomy. It’s not a difficulty or value judgement, it’s just a term with a specific categorical meaning.

Google and YouTube already do this via ContentID, a system which only abuses small time creators. I don't see how expanding this EU-wide helps small businesses. Do you?

Room for abuse? Who do you think pushed for this? It wasn't your friendly neighborhood photographer. It was the RIAA/MPA etc. Just look at the DMCA.

Ask HN: How to make 1:1s actionable for team members? (not just the manager)
I built https://www.oneonemeeting.com/ to help team leaders manage their one-on-one meetings with their direct reports.

I noticed current tools are all about the manager. That's why I already added a feature in my product that allows the team members to sign up and view the Commitments and Goals that were mutually agreed during the 1:1 meeting.

My intention from now on is to develop more and more features that deliver value to the team members, because 1:1 meeting is all about them, but current tools are only for the managers.

Any thoughts on how else could I add value the team members whose manager uses my app?

thanks!

You know well that it is. Add /s or /rhetoric to your question next time :)

Languages can be pretty useful even if they are imperfect, as others have said. And Go is plenty useful. The Stroustrup quote about C++ comes to mind ...
Aside from what the sibling says about the difference between the test harness code and the code being benchmarked, there's a more abstract point: you want the compiler to reduce it to a compile time constant if and only if in the real world cases you're trying to model, it will be able to do so. That's pretty rare, since if that happens, you probably wouldn't have to do performance analysis on that code.

These days I find myself telling people that benchmark numbers don’t matter on their own. It’s important what models you derive from those numbers. Refined performance models are by far the noblest and greatest achievement one could get with the benchmarking — it contributes to understanding how computers, runtimes, libraries, and user code work together. --Aleksey Shipilёv https://shipilev.net/blog/2014/nanotrusting-nanotime/

That's a bit of an obscure comment, but I keep coming back to it as I learn about performance work and benchmarking.

A version of this happens in software too. See machine learning. There’s definitely valid field with real benefits. But also lots of BS. Nobody wants to call out their peers because everyone benefits from the hype.
And often intentionally. See "predator double tap strikes".
> I think the point is to realize FOSS is not a utopia and has tradeoffs like everything else.

But that wasn't what this thread was about. The statement that I was responding to above was this:

>> or exclude FOSS when working commercially.

I.e., that there isn't a tradeoff, but that the solution to shortcomings of some FOSS that aren't unique to FOSS in any way is to not use FOSS at all.

And that was then defended using equally nonsensical logic.

So, noone here is claiming that FOSS is utopia. But people are implying that proprietary software is. Which I am asking people to justify. So far, nobody did.

My main problem with the game was how willing it was to fail you on whatever your current objective was. For example, I passed a woman on the side of the road with a broken leg who needed help. Easy enough, I stopped and offered her a ride. She couldn't get on though because I had pelts on my horse. In the time it took me to walk back to my horse and drop the pelts, she'd yelled at me "Fine, I'll get home myself" and walked off, and wouldn't speak to me anymore. I've had similar experiences with several other side-encounters, and even main story missions where I had to replay 10 minutes of riding somewhere because I got off my horse midway to shoot a deer and failed out of the mission because of it.

Also, the controls are quite bad - it suffers from the "Rockstar Claw" just like all their other releases. Overall, I want to enjoy this game, and I love the characters and the immersiveness of the world they've crafted, but the game containing the world is hard to play.
So it's not like the GDPR; it doesn't apply if it affects any European, anywhere?
I doubt it will ever come, especially to Europe. I don't think any international expansion was ever promised. I haven't worked at Google in years, so I don't know anything about current and future plans. It would be a stunning, but welcome surprise.
Compiler developers have tons of benchmarks which they run. I’d bet that this is as simple as not being significant in their test suite, with a good chance that it’s both not as simple as it might seem or that there are impacts on more complicated code which is in their benchmark suite or a big customer’s app.
I feel like there is some real innovation to be had in the podcast monetization space. At this point, it's still basically treated like a radio ad from 1935. Surely there is some unique functionality that podcasts have over radio.

Throwing out some ideas:

- Alexa integration lets you purchase/view the product directly after hearing it advertised

- "Choose your own ad" - 5 different ads can be played, each for 5 seconds each. You can then reply to say which one you want to hear about, which then triggers a longer ad. If there is no voice reply, the default one will play.
Javascript is inherently broken and unfixable. With Python, if I find a bug or something that I think should be in the standard library then I can just post on the mailing list and make my case. The core devs might not accept my proposed change, but at least I'm guaranteed my day in court. And if you get ruled against then you can go back and gather more evidence and appeal at least once and probably even twice before you get told to fuck off.

Whereas with Javascript if you find a bug or something you want added to the core library then you need to pay millions of dollars to join ECMA. How can you find competent developers to work in an ecosystem with that kind of governance? You can't, which is why we are where we are now.

Even if with respect to the implementations, if you file a bug with any of the major browser vendors then you'll probably die of old age before the ticket is even triaged, let alone fixed.

I've started a crowdfunding campaign that aims to tackle the replication crisis:

Check out

https://www.lets-fund.org

We're raising funds for Professor Chris Chambers at Cardiff University. Chambers is a leading proponent of a new and better way of doing and publishing research, called ‘Registered Reports’, where scientific papers are peer-reviewed before the results are known.

This might:

-make science more theory-driven, open and transparent

-find methodological weaknesses prior to publication

-get more papers published that fail to confirm the original hypothesis

-increase the credibility of non-randomized natural experiments using observational data

The funds will free up his time to focus on accelerating the widespread adoption of Registered Reports by leading scientific journals.

This ‘meta-research’ project might be exceptionally high-impact because we can cause a paradigm shift in scientific culture, where Registered Reports become the gold standard for hypothesis-driven science.

Public opinion about MBS was quite favorable a few short months ago, and it is this story alone that threatens it.

So those who claim MBS was responsible may be right or wrong. Without a clear definition of how his potential responsibility relates to US national interest, the matter isn’t even necessarily something the CIA should worry about at all.

By skipping that step and jumping right to PR to help fuel moral indignation in Americans, the CIA is way way way out of bounds.

The agency is not supposed to be a bunch of wise elders providing moral guidance, it’s supposed to protect national security.

Quite likely most senior CIA officials have far more blood on their hands than MBS.

I find these results intuitive and not hard to accept, but I see no mention of an attempt to rule out confounding elements that may correlate to violence, such as poverty. And with only 218 subjects there may well not be enough statistical power to do so.

Of course I can only see the abstract without paying $10, so it may be buried in the details.
