I work on Medicare software for a state that is funded by CMS[1] and it is freely available to any other state that also is funded by CMS. This has happened, we handed over the code base to another state and they are implementing it.

> ...[universities] often leave it to students to figure out a lot of the common knowledge about how to actually use your computer.

Now I'm out in the real world (MIT class of '86!) I think this is more of an MIT thing -- many graduates of other schools get explicit training in things that the MIT faculty, fairly or not, assumes students will simply pick up. And this is despite the heavy emphasis on actually doing stuff, especially in the school of engineering. Actually I've had hit or miss results hiring freshly-graduated MIT grads (maybe less so VI-A) for this reason, though once they are up to speed they've mostly been great.

Really good use of IAP by the way!
Looks like the ad-people are in full force on this thread.
Wouldn't FOIA mandate that it's released if it's not confidential? I'm seriously asking; I'm not an expert in these things.
> There are some things the IRS shouldn't release like their fraud detection or anything related to deciding who should get audited

That's perhaps a good reason for that part of the software to not be published and/or FOIA disclosable, but that's orthogonal to how it is licensed. If it's an original government work now it would be public domain (which is more open than open source), but still potentially confidential and nondisclosable.
Why Netflix?
I believe or has higher precedence than := in this case thus the syntax error. Wrapping := in parentheses, like the other commenter suggested, resolves the issue.
Some will argue that it goes against everything Salinger would want. e.g. He doesn't want to be "judged" à la "Catcher in the Rye". However, if he truly never wanted them to be read, he would have burned them immediately after being written.
I'm assuming they don't. I guess to clarify, I'm desiring that the government not only mandates that they do use documentation and source control, but that they commit such code to a repository accessible by other departments. A minimal readme and "init" push may do the trick, but I'd want my local counsel to at least be able to pull the code for something like the government's favorite public website implementation and reuse it at lower cost than redoing it.
Exactly. This just happened to me when I was struck by a moped in a near-fatal crash. Because it is not a motor vehicle by insurance and Legal standards in the USA it does not require a license or insurance to operate. If you are hit by one of these, you’ll find there’s no insurance to cover you other than your health insurance. Underinsured coverage on your auto policy will not apply either, as it would if you were hit by a motor vehicle.

> 2, 3, and 4 are made by private companies. Not government.

But government pays them to develop the code. For many such companies government is the only customer (whom else are you going to sell the traffic light software to?).
Yeah, I think he misunderstood your top-level comment in the thread. I'm in the Philippines and I understood exactly what you are saying even though it might sound negative to woke, politically-correct Western ears. There is a lot I take for granted because I happen to have a USA passport (same could be said for someone from Canada, UK, western Europe, AUS, NZ, etc).

The biggest among these things is infrastructure. In a lot of places in the developing world, it just isn't there. And if it is there, it's a fairly slapdash, ad hoc affair. Probably patched together from whatever they could find. No real professional urban planning, either. Likely to be incredibly compromised by political corruption and therefore working only some of the time, since contracts are given to the local warlord's cronies and sycophants.

Look at the power grid in the Philippines. If you live anywhere in the provinces, you'll experience constant "brownouts" where the power is redirected or there is no failover capacity. And without that, of course, there is no internet connectivity...
If they choose to sell it.

Whilst markets exist for selling shares in private companies, it’s harder and there is a smaller pool of people looking to buy.

On the public market, any shareholder can sell their shares (relatively) easily, and since it’s a public market the pool of potential buyers is much bigger.

Employees don’t automatically get money for their shares, being public just makes it easier for them to if they decide they want to.
> That may be fair if everyone is doing the same and contributing fairly (hard to assess that), but if countries A,B,C are the only ones contributing (paying) and everyone else just use, then it is not fair or sensible.

Isn't this the purpose of the GPL? "Sure, you can use our code, but any additions need to be reusable as well, so everyone is contributing fairly."

Unless, of course, countries B,C,D don't change anything, in which case, no actual loss to country A.
I was hoping https://mybrandnewlogo.com/how-it-works was a little more in depth of how it actually works but I suppose if they gave away their secret they wouldn't make any money :)

I'm guessing they have a stock library of vector art somewhere. I'd love to know what library / libraries they have used.

Edit / added:

On a different topic. I routinely by logos from Fiverr for about slightly more than these (typically $80 - $100) and generally speaking the one's from fiver weren't using any stock art.

I think the people making most passive income are those selling the passive income books and advertising :-)

My friend in the IT business says I am the only person he knows making close to passive income. I have a side project which has been generating income for the last 10 years. The sideline involved a lot of work to setup and after years takes little of my time.

So I would say go for it if you want to swap some of your time for money. I am proud of my sideline but most good things come at a cost.
I guess that's true.

I'm mostly thinking of it from a law-abiding citizen perspective. Maybe make some basic tests available to more easily show that I'm not making the stupid mistakes (an extra "0" somewhere or missing a digit somewhere else).

Also, anything that would more easily interface with the IRS's online submission system would be great.
Shareholders can cash out
That made some logos Im very interested in (and we happen to be looking for a new logo). Just wondering if the icons are internally created or from another collection?

Edit: Looks like they're not unique icons, damn.

Edit 2: Since they're using nounproject, I hope they're properly licensing the works and not just assuming they're creative commons so it's free. I'm not seeing any credits given on their site or anything about the logo including the royalty free license.
All shareholders will be able to sell publicly => liquidity
I may have missed this in the article, but does anyone know what organization or group is doing this work with drones on this project? I seem to see small companies pop up that offer 'drone support' on things like property photos, search and rescue, etc.

Are these often just some guy/gal who buys some nice drones then starts offering those types of services with them? Are there regulations, licenses or anything these people should or need to have to be considered legit and operate these types of services legally?

Just overall curious how these 'drone specialist' operations come to be..

It's not. It's a false claim from climate skeptics based on this study:

The study is about sub saharan Africa, mostly the African savanna, and the identified drivers are human causes (decline in burned area, changes in herbivores density). They explicitly exclude CO2 levels increase as a driver.

To add a bit to what others have said, at some point, once you internalize what Rust asks of you, it no longer feels like conformance; you just write stuff in a Rust-y way, and things get a lot easier and more fluid. This is sort of true in all languages, ("you can write Java in any language"), but Rust doesn't let you get away with writing some types of code as much as other languages do.

Like many things, it's a tradeoff: is the cost of getting up to speed worth the benefits Rust gives? Like any tradeoff, some will say yes, some will say no.
Does Slack ever refer to the new logo as an octothorpe? If you read their blog post, they say the old one is an octothorpe, but I don't think they apply any shape name to their new logo.

I think it might just be that the author of this article misread/misunderstood Slack's post and didn't know what an octothorpe was.

I have a 1990 Subaru Sambar pickup truck [1] imported from Japan that is street legal and registered in Washington state. It’s probably only a tiny bit safer than a motorcycle because it has seatbelts. Maybe cancelled out by the fact that I don’t wear a helmet while driving it.

You can get them for $3K - 5K depending on condition and they are excellent little city trucks that get fantastic fuel economy. Getting used to the right-side drive and shifting left handed wasn’t so bad. The hard part is the blinkers and windshield wipers are swapped!

I think that there is a dark model here in regards to sharing that people don't think about very often: you share with everyone in your friends list rather than specific people really often. An argumentatively older model for the same thing were emails: a key part of sending that email is selecting the people that you send it to. Emails that I receive are listed in the order that they are received, and I choose how to manage them when I receive them.

I think that these few modifications have introduced a number of dark patterns of how we interact with each other, and it differs from person to person based on their personality and perceived social needs. I don't know that it's positive for anyone other than those interested in marketing themselves. Otherwise, the 'feed' is a totally useless piece of advertising - either the people I know throwing that stuff at the wall, or companies trying to get me to buy more trash. These dark patterns are so pervasive that I think it's difficult to see these negative effects, and many people like the various responses that they feel when they see things on facebook, and assume that the dopamine hit is something useful, rather than an addiction. Studies have regularly pointed out the negative effects that these have.

Personally, I think that the solution is just going back a step. We don't all need to be marketing ourselves to our friends and the world. The way to get back is to just return to email, IMO, or interest based forums.
Interesting, if depressing, podcast on how social media is being manipulated
Same here. Going to assume it's uBlock Origin doing its thing.
I had a difficult time with the "keywords" portion - I'm assuming they're tying keywords to an icon library.

It'd probably be more useful to have a list of words to select from, rather than guessing which ones will be useable by their algorithm.
Are the latter points true? I mean, I personally do not like using Slack at work, but I have to admit it has a lot of really smooth UI and Product features that seem polished. I don't think I encounter bugs on a frequent basis at all, and my coworkers don't seem frustrated by using it.

But I guess I'm just one point of anecdotal data?
The way that a lot of these logo generators work is actually using Noun Project[0], which keeps very good tags for vector icons.

It would be great as an option! I would still keep it as separate functions on separate pedals.

Because I don’t want to use the pads, I have to drive a bit differently when less regen is available.

I really like single pedal driving in the first place (see note above about lane changes and such) and I would never want to the pads actuating just from lifting the accelerator.

The only enhancement I would be happy with is full regen under all operating conditions :-)
I strongly agree. I've read most of the other comments here, and as an armature pilot myself, I think most of the responses to you are missing the point.

Its extremely unfortunate, but these pilots had ~10 minutes of flight time between their request to return to the airport noting aircraft control issues, and their crash, during which they completely failed to follow their checklists. Lion Air put those under-trained (if we're being generous) pilots into that cockpit and they are the only ones who carry responsibility for this crash.

Its anecdotal, but most of my older flight instructors have been lamenting the loss of critical pilot skills in the industry, and this appears to be just another example of that.

uh...I graduated from a low tier state school that was notable in our state for focusing on practical matters....and we didn't get 'explicitly trained' on this either. Most people do just pick it up.
There's a pretty good consensus that Steve had obsessive compulsive personality disorder. It's different from OCD, and places a big emphasis on perfectionism. I believe his irritability and anger at people he worked with was due to his frustration of people not striving for perfection like he did.

I was diagnosed with OCPD a couple years ago, and after knowing all my symptoms and thinking about Steve's personality, it makes a lot of sense. The thing that sealed it for me? Steve struggled with food and eating disorders throughout his life. This is a common trait of people with OCPD and people struggling with perfectionism.
The comment you linked concisely explains an idea I've "circled the drain" on for quite a while. Thank you.

Another government.

The traffic lights in Chicago are likely made by a different company than the traffic lights in New York City (I dunno for sure... but it'd be a separate arrangement nonetheless). Those are two grossly different customers.

USA has a federal society: that means we have mini-governments across the country with their own laws and regulations. In an extreme case, an Home-owners association can own traffic lights and operate roads. (My own HOA for example owns the traffic lights in my area, and hires cops from the county to patrol our roads. They're county-cops contracted out to the Homeowner's Association for security in the neighborhood)

---------

Same thing with voting booths, and other services. They're made by private companies in the USA, to serve the many different local governments that exist.

And local governments interact with local neighborhoods / homeowners associations, depending on local regulations of course.
To understand that you need to understand “if”, “or” and assignment expressions. You think this is hard to understand, and that’s fair, but the hard point here isn’t the assignment expression, it’s the short circuiting or-statement. You’d have the same issues with debugging “if f() or g():...”

So are you arguing that the language should not have short-circuit or-statements?

That just seems like you are sacrificing tons of usability only to slightly improve on the expectations of those who are just starting python, like the first 1-2weeks of trying to learn it.
The biggest problem with systemd is it purported itself to be an init system - and then set out to do a whole lot more. That's where it abandons the Unix way, as far as I'm concerned. But you like it and the Linux community overall seems to like it. That's fine. That just means I'm no longer in synch with the Linux community - I'm not aligned with their vision - so I'm leaving it. I no longer have any hard feelings about it. I don't feel my 25 years of using Linux have been "wasted." It worked well for what I needed it for but now it's time for me to move on. So I am.

I use the version available for zsh (cdr) for folders that I very recently and infrequently accessed, as well as z (https://github.com/rupa/z works with bash and zsh). It seems like this z.lua and z are in some way related?
