I think a lot of Christians haven't thought about that. Translating the Bible takes a lot of work. The work on the ESV started in the early 1990s from what I could find on Wikipedia, so we're talking about 7-11 years of work before it was published. I don't know how well donations would cover those costs.

So I think a lenient copyright would be fine such as it expires in 30 years at the most and it allows for copying whole chapters but perhaps not whole books. Even with current copyright restrictions the only people that are impacted are authors using lengthy direct quotes, but with allowing whole chapters to be included that shouldn't be an issue. I would be for a shorter copyright term, but it does take time for new translations to be adopted.
That’s maybe the reason why also the linked article almost has no content. It’s just a series of allegations and diversions into how much Microsoft sucks. There’s not even anecdotal evidence mentioned. As much as I sympathize with the view, you need to back it up. I didn’t get any value from the article, and that’s disappointing cause I’m sure there’s a real story to be told here.
Per https://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/nec/conditioninfo/ri..., NEC occurs in about 9000 preterm babies a year in the US. The mortality rate is about 25%, so that’s roughly 2300 deaths from NEC a year.

What the article doesn’t mention is how many babies a year are fed SimplyThick. That’s necessary to assess whether SimplyThick is really causing deaths significantly above the expected rate.

Infant deaths are all tragedies, and when they happen it’s tempting to try and find a reason. Certainly, it’s in everyone’s interests to exercise caution, but I would like to know what the state of the statistical evidence is like before pinning the blame on one factor.
I would guess that while the new hardware has the same features, the accuracy might be lower on the old GPU's because they are forced to use smaller networks or to run them at lower frame rates.
"It is a drug in the same sense that anything can cause addiction and withdrawal or be unhealthy.

Caffeine is, by itself, a drug in a different sense. It causes a slight addiction and can cause slight withdrawal."

This seems like a drug in the same sense, can you clarify?

Rather than making stuff up, here's dictionary definition of drug: a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.

As a user of both sugar and broccoli I can anecdotally attest that they do not have the same physiological effect on my body.
For normal users the software must "Just Work (tm)" (former "Plug&Play"). These people need devs/power-users to turn to for help, though should usually be unnecessary. The experience need to surpass alternatives, ie. better privacy, no advertisements, rapid updates, more choice, freedom, no bugs, no useless notifications and distractions.

Not sure how this aligns with most businesses and govs, though they should support companies/orgs that make this their core.
Refined sugar is just converted to fat. Reduced intake helps. Unrefined sugar is just more healthy alternative

I know "popularized" is often used colloquially as a synonym for "introduced", but I think I'm well within the accepted meaning of the word if I use it to mean "made popular with or accessible to a larger audience". In fact that meaning is closer to the dictionary definition (and the etymology) than the colloquial sense of "introduced".

That brings to mind an interesting idea for an IDE: having one big virtual file that you edit, which gets split into multiple physical files on disk (based on module/class/whatever). Although, thinking about it, there are some languages that would make such automatic restructuring rather difficult.
Also every "browser" on iOS has to be based on their webkit. So there is only a single browser implementation. And worse even, they purposely prevent royalty-free (WP9, AV1) codec support (they receive money from HEVC licensing fees), among other things. I remember days where they didn't even support file uploads.
If your organization's SAS experience is like where I just came from:

- 90% of your SAS usage is ETL via SAS/ACCESS -- easy to write, but no lineage or real reporting without costly engineering and maintenance. Current ETL tooling must more mature than was SAS offers

- 5% is actually using SAS for what it is intended, canned Statistical Packages with indemnification if their calculations are incorrect (watch out for SAS/STAT 9.3 time series, there are a few PROCs that have incorrect results!)

- 5% of your users are insanely frustrated trying to build real things on top of SAS's broken model of macros, PROC IML, procedure creators, and similar when they really just need Python.

Anaconda Enterprise is a good product, but really the FLOSS underneath just works well. Watch out for dependency hell (be disciplined by using virtualenvs / docker contains) and you'll see dramatic improvement in workflows.
That is all just FUD. At least here in Germany, reneweables are not destroying the grid. Quite the contrary, they help to stabilize it, when e.g. nuclear power plants have to reduce their power output due to the streams they use for cooling are overheating.

Negative grid prices are the consequences of power plants which cannot shut down in times of oversupply, that is mainly coal and nuclear.

Of course there need to be further investments to be made in the grid and even more so some market mechanisms need to adjust in an age of mostly renweables in the grid. So far, grid pricing was dominated by a varying demand vs. a more constant power output on the grid. With reneweables, there comes the additional component of a variable production. But that is something the market can adjust to. Companies which require a constant supply have to pay for that, those that don't can save a lot of money. Charging electrical cars is a great example of something that can use electricity when the supply is very large.
Interesting article. But it stops right where it could become interesting. It laments the fact that, for Americans, there is no distinction between those conflicts; it's just "Over There", and "the distinctions between the conflicts, the countries and their people, are lost."

But it's indeed a correct assessment. It's definitely "Over There", and Americans are not engaged simply because those wars (or battles) don't actually concern them at all. Those wars are not just deeply unpopular in the rest of the West; they're also unpopular in America. Obama wanted to bring the troops home; he couldn't. Trump said he wanted to do the same things (arguably he says a lot of things), and so far he has not done so. Cui bono?
This is a great example of SJWism.

Your amerocentric view of the world assumes that because we speak the same language we have the same culture. We do not. In my culture, telling someone to eat concrete is not taken literally. Its not a call to violence. Its a way of telling someone they need to increase their mental fortitude, that being upset because someone said something you didn't like is not a productive way to go through life.

Regarding ice cream: my experience is that temperature has a large impact on how sweet something tastes. Specifically, the same food will taste sweeter when it is warmer. Milk is actually incredibly sweet, but you don’t realize that unless you’re drinking it warm. If you’ve ever had a warm soda pop or melted ice cream, you’ll probably remember them as sickly sweet—much sweeter than when either is cold.

Since 2014, Lockheed has expanded the volume of the concept by a factor of 100. So the power density is now comparable to ARC, about 0.5 MW/m^3. It won't fit in a truck, and has a power density grossly inferior to fission reactors. So, even if it "worked", it would be economically useless.
I wonder whether the point is more to do with memory. If you can show a person remembers more from watching an instructor code out an example on screen compared to reading a text based tutorial, and they spend the same time doing both, then it may follow that it's more efficient for that individual to learn in a non-text based manner.

In practice, I wonder whether this non-text based learning is more useful in the earlier stages of learning to write code. This might because your learning much more than how to write a valid set of lines that compile to an expected result, there's a lot about style, motivation and norms that you have to soak up too. A lot of that is often implicit in text based tutorials, whereas the video based format makes many minor details explicit (e.g. seeing someone type a line of code wrong, and then explain, 'oh yeah this is a commmon mistake'... this actually encodes a lot of information a text based tutorial would typically miss)
As a black person, I know what you mean. I suppose I'd rather fight the battle of expanding people's notions of what these isms are. They're not just horrifically bigoted beliefs with harmful intentions. They're all beliefs they hold with the best of intentions that are nonetheless harmful to some people (e.g. paternalism towards marginalized people). But they're also impacts they have that don't have and explicit belief at all. I just personally believe that personal responsibility entails doing the work to uncover the ways in which we ignorantly step on other people.

Thin-clients are very much last century, mid-last century at that. They were called terminals. That's just a new buzzword because technology became fashionable for the non-technical, like calling server farms, "the cloud".

A thin-client is just a desktop that can't do much of anything under its own power. There's good reason Apple keeps advancing their A-series chips, why not stop at "thin client" (running a browser), like a Chromebook? Instead, they're near desktop Intel speeds. To answer that, it's because they want their platform to actually be able to do something on its own. AR, VR, image processing, video editing, you name it. No developer is required to own it, unlike this idea that "curated desktops", which can be around the power of an Apple A13, as somehow just aimed at developers.

Agreed on O365. Microsoft can do thin clients, and has a complete stack that integrates easily to resolve more complex demands out of the box. Just because it's the 21st century doesn't mean any of these concepts listed are new, nor is what Microsoft built in the 80's, 90's and 00's valueless. Depending on requirements it's very strongly to the contrary.
Support? I urge you to try run your IT on Microsoft, with a support contract. Their phone support was useless, is useless, and will be useless.

I worked in BestBuy once, their IT gave up on fixing Windows and defaulted to re-imagining disks upon first issues with Win/Office despite having a support contract.

It’s been a solved problem from the time it launched: you should never have one FIDO device since that leaves no room for failure.

> If you get divorced, the person with a real career and resume to match will likely continue having a good income

Since I believe that gender roles is about splitting benefit and responsibilities, I asked myself what the outcomes of a divorce should result in in gender stereotypical situation.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5992251/

A man who focus on the traditional gender role of breadwinner and a woman who focus on the traditional gender role of social management will results in decreased income for the woman and decreased social support for the man past divorce. This puts the woman at increased risk of poverty, while the man has an increased risk of loneliness.

There is also some implied finding that women who remarry has on average a decrease in house income, while men do not gain persistent increase in loneliness. I do not think there is a major mystery why that is considering differences in inter-sex competition for men and women.

The text is too small and spans most of the screen. Difficult to read on big monitors. Reading that grey block on mobile is also really straining. I actually just gave up and came to read the comments instead.

The word 'download' is exactly the same font as everything else. So it's hard to find. Why not have a button that stands out? There are 2 links called 'click here'. So you have the read the surrounding text before knowing where you want to click. I can't think of a good reason not to have a clear call to action button that stands out from the rest of the page.

Compared to almost any modern site, this is really bad.
TFA says 'still investigating' ... I hadn't heard of any of this that i recall, my wife says she's heard of at least one of the case stories.
Indeed, the complexity is anathema to an engineering mindset.
One thing that I've noticed in my time working in large Java server codebases is that there seem to be a number of broad categories of code (not mutually exclusive, just one breakdown, and not exhaustive):

* framework - dictating how people should do things like request handlers, how work is scheduled
* feature - making something new work
* wiring - the binary had this information in it in this codepath, but we also need it in this other place...

And I have found that DI tends to be the magical "will write code for you" thing that mostly replaces the third one.
But TFA was written 6 years ago.

Yes. Why haven't they been fined for anti-competetive practices already? How can they still force developers to use their only webkit implementation? Is it because people think there are more browsers on iOS, forgetting that actual layouting, rendering and scripting, most of the web browser work is done in the single Apple's implementation? Also online video streaming providers are forced to encode in HEVC, because Apple refuses to support royalty-free VP9 and AV1, despite the fact that even HW implementation of VP9 is available for some time already in many SoCs and Intels (and chips with AV1 are being produced now as well). Microsoft was fined a lot in the past, forced to ask people for app defaults (full-featured alternatives), but Apple seems to have some special treating... and people don't care. As long as Apple says it's "for their security" (which is not true), they believe it. It's sad.

This meme needs to die. Moving off fossil fuels is easier and cheaper with renewables than it would be with nuclear, and the disparity is widening with time as renewables (and storage) crash down their experience curves.
I was thinking about the same in France.

I recently had a look at the jobs in the administration and the salary was ridiculous compared to a similar one in the private sector.

This is particularly visible in the middle management are where a lit of actual decisions are made. No surprise that bringing in talent is not easy.

> And are destroying every grid which they dominate. Germany, South Australia, California. When you start getting negative price events while the overall price increases something has gone very wrong with the market.

Yes, there has. There are still way too many inflexible legacy fossil and nuclear power plants producing electricity no one needs because the demand has been filled by renewables. What we need are storage, load-shedding (contrary to popular opinion, pausing energy intensive industry for a few minutes will not bring us back to the stone age) and, as a stop gap, flexible plants.

> You can either try and build batteries

No, that would be stupid. You're pretty sure of yourself for someone that apparently thinks batteries are the only storage technology.

> a transcontinental grid to share power, which costs trillions of dollars to build,

About 0.13 trillions, to be precise.[1]

> or nuclear power, which cost billions

Hinkley Point C is going to produce 3200MW at a build cost of ~25 billion USD. The EU had about 1TW of capacity in 2017. That's 312.5 Hickley Point Cs, costing 312.5*25=7812.5 billions.

The costs of waste disposal, eventual dismantling the plant and liability insurance (if anyone was actually willing to insure the risk nuclear power causes) is left as an exercise to the reader.

I think the advice here is a bit extreme. Let me focus on macros for the moment.

As an initial and trivial matter, using macros and defining new macros are different things. It's absurd to say you can't use macros, and comparison to ((void *)0) rather than to NULL is far less readable. Using macros defined by the language is incontrovertibly normal, expected, and the Right Thing.

As far as defining new macros, though, I still think there are very defensible reasons to use them, especially for defining a macro that expands to debug code when a debug constant is defined, and expands to nothing when that same debug constant is undefined.

#ifdef _MY_DEBUG
#define ENTER 1
#define EXIT 2
#define TRACE(x) \
fprintf(stderr, "%s function %s\n", (x == ENTER) ? "Entering" : "Exiting", __func__)
#else
#define TRACE(x)
#endif

Forgive any errors above, but that's pretty straightforward to follow and can make debugging a lot easier by giving a naive sort of stack trace on stderr. Add TRACE(ENTER) and TRACE(EXIT) at the beginning and end of functions and you can figure out where a segfault or whatever is happening, and it all gets defined away in non-debug code.
https://darklang.com/ appears to share some of those goals.

If you can afford using a package manager then you can afford using something more sophisticated than bash.

The whole point of bash is that it’s ubiquitous: be it an air-gapped embedded system, a recovery image or a full desktop environment, you can count on it having either bash or something reasonably close, no strings attached.

Introducing a Rube Goldberg package manager would go against this.
Yes. Well the trick is using Dask with a @retry decorator. You can listen for changes on api's and sql tables easily with a while loop. Scheduling is easy, triggering, retrying and notifying are the harder parts.
