If you're right, why doesn't the community fork it?

I hear lots of people complaining about this. That it's some sort of theft. Yet, I've rarely seen people actually use the OSS license and decide to take it their own direction.

I think this really ends up reaffirming what Sentry is saying in the first place. It's hard to build a OSS project and you get too many freeloaders.

You're basically a freeloader and now you're upset that there's no longer a free ride.

BTW. Not trying to be insulting by using this term 'freeloader'. I wasn't trying to be derisive just saying you were getting value for free.

I probably can’t supply data that would convince you liberal speech is favored over conservative speech. However, within the past month my personal Facebook account was curiously disabled within an hour of typing the word “Christian” in a comment. I would not identify as conservative or liberal. I certainly can’t prove that merely using this word was what triggered the permaban, but Facebook absolutely would not reinstate my account, even after I supplied a valid driver’s license as proof of my identity.
I don't get why lately the trend it to focus in inequality instead of focusing in poverty.

I mean, if the % of poverty decreases, then economy is moving in a good direction, in spite of inequality, right? Suppose you had one million, and somebody else has one thousand millions, there would be a large gap, but I wouldn't consider it as negative.

If there are arguments against what I wrote I would gladly read them and consider them.
What I would be more interested in is feeding it a topic, it goes out and summarizes sources, then arranges those summaries to make a point. I'd actually really like this driving around. I could just have ai give me the tldr on topics I'm interested in.

BSL seems pretty decent... it becomes open in a simple, easy-to-understand way.

But it’s troublesome that they road the open source movement for years to grow and are now closing the license. Perhaps it’s a business reality. I wonder if there are any supporters or users or other stakeholders who thought open meant continuing to be open. They’re getting a slap in the face today.

NYC needs more truck loading zones so that delivery trucks don’t need to block bicycle lanes. Unfortunately most non-commercial drivers are opposed to them because it means reducing subsidized street parking which forces drivers to either switch to public transit or use market rate garage marking.

I hadn't heard of it before. I just looked it up and it looks interesting, but I don't have enough hardware engineering experience to judge its feasibility.

I think a larger problem with new architectures is that consumer adoption follows price/performance/power, not any inherent architectural quality. The architecture we're stuck with is the one that most hardware devices get sold with (x86/ARM right now). That gets determined by hardware OEMs, which in turn make their decisions based on what'll help them sell the fastest devices with the lowest power consumption for the least money. So something like RISC V is fascinating and quite elegant, but until there are RISC V chips that are cheaper and faster than Intel ones, it remains an academic curiosity. Then if you're a compiler writer, you gotta work with what you've got for an installed base, and you can't really get adoption for a new language unless it lets startup founders unlock new markets because your combination of development velocity + execution speed lets them do things they wouldn't otherwise be able to.
Is there anything to support such an opinion? From what I gather, Japan is a country with a strong "nuclear family" tradition, at least as compared to the West today - even then, the "nuclear family" is the ideal in the West still. There are two ways in which a family usually differs from a "nuclear family" - either single parenthood, or relatives being more in the picture, living with the child(ren).

People still view single parenthood as a certified bad thing. Perhaps you could say that Japanese families are less nuclear because there are more relatives in the picture (I don't know if that's true) but unless that had an uptick at the same time as child suicides, there seems no basis for your suspicion, or even any reason - why would having more relatives in the picture increase suicide?

Are there lawsuits/investigations still pending or they are over and no one from Boeing was found to be guilty?
It seems like a huge distraction to claim that this study is somehow an exemplar of problems on "campuses." There are apparently 1.6 million faculty on campuses and 76 million students [hastily-googled statistics], so to claim that they have uniform beliefs about the nature of the economy seems like an extraordinary claim to make, which I'd like to see substantiated more than this.
Chilean Life Simulator
Each system operator that I know of (I'm not omniscient) has a planning department (1-30 years), as well as groups which handle near term planning (1 day to 6 months out).

It wouldn't be unheard of to work with outside consultants on special projects, but that would normally entail working with someone that has very specialized experience in power systems operations (ex: expert in voltage stability). I'm not sure if that is the case here, but maybe one of their employees will stop by and enlighten me. Again, wording is really tough in online forums. I am genuinely curious about the role they serve. Although AI is hardly new in power systems (lots of lisp and prolog applications were created in the early 90s), those were mainly expert systems as opposed to the machine learning of today. Like I said, there are definitely some applications, but usually nothing that some Python or R can't handle. I'm not sure if there are many products that would sell in this space. Maybe their employees have picked up enough domain knowledge coupled with good development skills to help with machine learning projects like you have guessed? It is certainly possible.

Why stop there? Why not deport people to other countries?
Maybe not, but if someone is willing to pay you for it and the deal is agreeable to you, then good deal. If the deal isn’t agreeable, then negotiate a better deal. If you can’t negotiate a better deal, find a new job, if you can’t find a new job, then your current deal is optimal. This applies where we’re talking about working more hours or less flexibility. It’s economics all the way down.
We had a data warehouse where we sent pretty much all the data we had in the organisation, and redash in front of it to allow query access, reporting, etc...

Everything in the data warehouse was anonymized, and people only had access to the schemas they needed (though this was defined quite broadly). Anonymization was handled by our ETL pipeline. When we first set it up, the requirements were pretty simple and we just wrote a little java app to do it. This scaled pretty poorly, and the team ended up putting a proper ETL product in there. I can’t remember which one they used, but there’s a lot of perfectly decent products in that space (even some open source).
It's hard to abuse psilocybin bc there is a limitation to the frequency that a dose will be effective. If you take it two days in a row, there will be little to no effect on the second day. The longer you wait, the more effect it can have - leading even enthusiasts to wait.
> I don't get why lately the trend it to focus in inequality instead of focusing in poverty.

Because outside of extreme poverty that is rare in the West, relative deprivation seems to be a more significant source of experienced disutility and other social dysfunction than absolute deprivation.

Yes, it was.

> We looked at how we communicate with the camera. We opened a TCP connection the first time it was needed, and left it open for changes to camera settings via the application. We modified this to close the connection once we had sent the required information and open it again if we needed it. We tested this thoroughly over the next few days and it looked solid.

Furthermore...

> I still don't understand how this caused the camera to lock up. We were receiving the TCP results via Telnet but we weren't reading the stream. Did it just build up in some buffer? How did this cause the camera to lock up?

My guess: the buffer filled up and the result was that the computer's OS stopped sending ACK packets to the camera. The camera then locked up waiting for ACKs that never came.

Kinda straightforward actually.
> There are lots of vehicles around in most cases.

In this case, we know there weren't many vehicles around.

This very scenario is a great example where I'd want a car to stop if it saw a deer or even a dog or armadillo.

> If the car braked every time it spotted another vehicle it would almost never move.

In defensive driving it's often taught that you are supposed to slow whenever you're approaching another vehicle and don't know what it's doing. You're supposed to exercise caution at intersections, and definitely supposed to exercise caution when passing, being passed, there are things in the road or other people or vehicles on the side of the road.
Yes, it's suspicious and I have questions. But it's also plausible that it's all legit.

People who donate books often overestimate what their books are worth. Selling the books and using the money to fund the library (which can buy books it actually wants) might be more efficient than paid staff handling a bunch of books they mostly don't want. What's the expense on doing the work themselves, and can outsourcing beat that?

Also, it seems like people who donate stuff have lots of other illusions about how much good they're really doing, and the people actually doing the work will entertain those illusions, but they have to deal with reality. Personally, I'm fine with anyone who takes stuff I don't want off my hands for free with no hassle.
"permanently"

Humans have their licenses temporarily revoked because it's assumed that humans can change their ways (maybe or maybe not a reasonable assumption).

With a computer, you can't expect it will get better unless its programming is improved. So isn't that reasonable grounds for "permanent" revocation, at least in the sense of indefinite, where you wouldn't do the same thing to a human?

Criminal negligence resulting in death by motor vehicle is a minimum of six months license revocation in NY.
Here's my worst:

We had a function that looked like this:

void f() {
bool flag = true;
while (flag)
g();
}

This function exited sometimes, which should not be possible.

You say, "Duh, Mr. AnimalMuppet, clearly g is smashing the stack!" But the return address wasn't getting trashed - just the value of flag.

This bug also would disappear if you did something like, for example, print out the address of flag so you could watch it in a debugger.

I chased this bug for a month, off and on. Finally I got desperate enough to print out the assembly produced by the compiler, and things got clearer.

flag was a register variable. (This was gcc compiling for an ARM CPU, by the way.) It lived in R11 (or maybe R12, it's been a long time). When f called g, it just pushed the return address on the stack. But g was going to have its own value to put in the R11, so it pushed R11 onto the stack just before allocating space for its own variables. So f's local variable wound up in g's stack frame...

... and g was smashing the stack. Duh.

In particular, g was using queues (msgsnd and msgrcv) to exchange messages with another CPU. The API here is misleading. These functions expect to send a packet of the form

struct msgbuf {
long mtype;
char mtext[1];
};

and they take a size parameter, among others, because you actually pass in a different structure, with an mtext array big enough to carry your actual information. But the size you pass to the function is expected to be the size of the actual mtext array, not the size of the actual structure (that is, the size doesn't include the size of the mtype field).

The contractors who wrote the code didn't know that. They assumed that they could just pass
sizeof(type_similar_to_msgbuf)
into msgsnd/msgrcv, and it would work. In fact, they were sending and receiving 4 bytes too many. Which kind of worked, in that the sender and receiver never got out of sync. But when the receiver got four bytes too many, it trashed what was just past it on the stack, which turned out to be the stored value of R11.

The net result was that the flag would get cleared if, on a different CPU, four bytes of unrelated memory were zero.
You're right, looking more closely this text seems to mirror the content of these lecture notes:

This is one of the strongest arguments why scientific publications should be open. The more people who have access to the science papers and have the opportunity to find issues, the stronger our scientific foundation will be.
If a fault with the vehicle parts itself causes an accident in a human driven car then the manufacturer absolutely should be held accountable.

Also, if you believe Uber or any company is pursuing autonomous with the goal of decreasing the amount overall automobile deaths I daresay you're extremely naive. It's probably not possible to achieve anyway on a road shared with human drivers.
It uses a standard protocol (CTAP2 - https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-rd-20170927/fido-cl...) that's part of the standards for FIDO2. IIRC as long as your OS lets your application speak to the YubiKey over USB, you should be able to use this in the application. In the browser, you can just use WebAuthn.

If you want to see how a native app can talk to the YubiKey, you can play with Yubico's own implementation: https://github.com/Yubico/python-fido2/

For browser based code, you can use WebAuthn and leave the device communication to the browser and OS: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Authent...
They have flaunted their criminality. They have flouted the law.
I found that most of the people doing this are not daily cyclists but the "weekend warriors" or "fair-weather" cyclists. As a cyclist, I've had a lot of close calls with people who simply don't know what the fuck they're doing and it's obvious. Things like:

1. In an urban area, you can't go against traffic but they think it's "safer," much like driving an SUV must be "safer."

2. My personal "favorite," the issue you brought up, people riding on the sidewalk... it's safer to ride in the street for everyone. Riding on the sidewalk endangers pedestrians, yourself, and cars since they won't see at all you when they're turning... but people still do it because it "feels safer."

Part of the problem is I think we probably have zero efforts to inform the public how to ride safely... I imagine most people think a helmet is the only thing they'll need: "Oh shit, beebs, I got my HELLMET and spandex on let's ride til we die."
Damn straight. These fuckers (and their executives) should be the ones whose lives are on the line, not innocent people on random roads.
From Deadspin to picket lines, a moral workplace is 2020’s stealth issue
It's perhaps worth keeping in mind that Kleon is giving this advice about writing books, and that in context, this isn't "you can do it" pithy advice of the sort that DayDollar's comment is mocking. The quote from David McCullough seems to be at the heart of his point:

"When I began, I thought that the way one should work was to do all the research and then write the book. In time I began to understand that it’s when you start writing that you really find out what you don’t know and need to know."

You do have to do some research; you don't charge into your project with no plan. But not only does trying to make the Most Bestest Completest Plan Ever end up being a form of procrastination (see all those folks who've spent years doing worldbuilding for their great epic fantasy novel but still can't tell you what the protagonist's character arc is, or possibly even who the protagonist is, period), it turns out that once you start actually working on the project you get a much, much better sense of what the plan needs to be. You figure out what to write in that part of your outline that says "subplot about Gail's past starts here". You start figuring out more about what the Thing your [Insert Thing] as a Service startup actually needs to insert and so on.
it's NOT a hotel! it's a short term apartment rental. i don't want a hotel. zoning laws are what they are, but that doesn't mean they are justified.

long term rental, short term rentals, serviced apartments and hotels are all distinct categories. do not lump them together. they all address different needs for different people.

zoning laws ought to take that into account. personally i find US zoning laws overly restrictive, but thats my opinion, and others may feel differently.

what we should discuss is, what kind of zoning is appropriate, and for what reason. some people may like the mix of short and long term rentals, and some don't. it's a matter of taste. there is no objective standard that fits everyone.

Sure, the person you pay is AWS.

You enable them to do it for you by creating HA infrastructure. Start by creating an autoscaling group that enforces a certain number of working application endpoints. You probably need an alb too. An app endpoint that fails healthcheck causes the asg to spin up another instance and auto-register with the alb. (You can snapshot your configured and working app endpoint as the base image).

What are the trends of relative deprivation? I know it's not a defined and studied concept, but if the relative deprivation is in a decreasing trend, I believe that it would mean we are in a good direction.

Anyway, if the problem is relative deprivation we should focus on that, instead of focusing in inequality. I believe it would be more productive to improve things. Is inequality the "cause" of relative deprivation? I believe there are more important causes, like corruption, for example.
Disagree in part. There is in fact this giant trust fund out there. The trust fund is taxes from people in the past. So current taxes aren't exactly funding current recipients. Past taxes are...

... but the trust fund is spending more than it's taking in. So current taxes are generating less than current recipients receive. Clearly that is unsustainable. And when the trust fund runs out of money, current taxes will have to equal current benefits, and one side or the other will have to give.
