Hey sillysaurus, I've seen you around for years on here so I knew you're one of the people who lost a lot and I'm happy you're at peace with it. I'm someone who only lost a little so I'm not losing sleep over it.

That's not why I'm attacking Peter even while that's against my favorite forum's rules and I might get banned for it. I don't think Peter is comparable to Satan. Peter also hasn't murdered someone, he's not committed an act that stemmed out of emotion, or a great need, or that he regrets.

Peter is a human being that has made the decision to put his greed ahead of tens of thousands of people. At any moment could he say, "ok I'm sorry this was a bad idea" and stop and still gain millions of dollars. He doesn't. He is consciously hurting people for a possibility to make this absurd amount of money.

In my frame of ethics, I can't just let him go around unharassed. If he goes unharassed it means that I, or we as a community, are ok with people behaving in an unethical manner. I'm sorry you had to witness my comment, I know it hurts the thread, but I just can't not make it.

> On the other hand, two APIs with different SSO do not fulfill the same purpose, since programs must be written to use one API or another.

According to the 9th Circuit opinion, for the purpose of whether an API is copyrightable, interoperability (with client programs) does not factor in. Interoperability comes into play on a case-by-case basis when considering whether or not the use of a copyrighted work is fair use.

So, to use the telephone book example, if machines have been built to interoperate with the old telephone book layout and cannot accept the new telephone book layout, the competitor may have a fair use case, but the competitor cannot argue that the layout of the original could not be copyrighted; at the time of designing the layout, there were many avenues to lay out the pages, but the holder chose a particular layout.

Intuitively, this differs from trademark law where use in a generic manner dilutes the trademark. With copyright, there was copyrightable creative expression in the API's SSO when it was designed, and because others have come to rely on the SSO aspects doesn't mean that the copyright of the API's SSO has become diluted.

> Recipes themselves are not copyrightable because of the idea-expression divide. Authors can express the recipe using different words/formatting, and that expression is copyrightable. Likewise, an API, including the SSO, is merely an idea and so can't be copyrighted, while the implementation is the expression of that idea and so can be copyrighted.

At the time when the API is created, there is creative expression as to what the API should look like.

Say what you like about blogspam, but at least you generally get to the awful content you click on, rather than being greeted by a signup process that will leave you with little chance of finding the image Pinterest served Googlebot even if you complete it.

Plus penalising a single domain whose growth strategy is based on flagrantly violating Google's guidelines with deceptive search results ought to be a lot easier than playing whack-a-mole with SEOers.

Calling it convenience is minimising the importance. Economic value is also important. This is most obvious when talking about trucks, but people being able to move large distances rapidly has a positive benefit to society.
I’ve worked at IBM, Oracle, and Google and have friends at Intel, Microsoft and Adobe. I’d say the reduction of openness and transparency Of management with employees is regrettable but the biggest thing I still enjoy about Google culture is still intact: is the relative lack of egotistical assholes, political douchebags, macho primadonna engineers, and other toxic people that I’ve encountered at other companies.

In general, the overall friendliness of people to work together, lend help, and accept or provide “constructive” criticism has been a welcome respite.

At the other companies mentioned, I’ve encountered a mixture of people deliberately backstabbing and sabotaging other groups projects, engineers who scream at or insult others, or just straight up refusing to admit fault.

Granted this is likely to change because Google is hiring too many people too fast which will reduce cultural assimilation.

But at this point I don’t think I could stomach working on a team at another Big company with some “alpha” macho engineer types unless their name happened to be Linus Torvalds, and even then I don’t think I’d want to be in that environment.

Microsoft seems like it has vastly improved after Balmer left.

I’m also not going to work at any company that doesn’t value work/life balance.

IMO plotting things is pretty easy, if it’s so bad it seems like it would be easier to just use draw with pillow/tkinter.

You could always even just write out GNU Plot commands and then call it. I used that for the test harness I wrote in the robotics club (and everything was in C!) to plot the trajectory of the robot in auto mode. It’s super easy! I don’t remember if the GUI has all the panning and scaling though.

The laws of supply and demand apply to everything, period.
But they can only be predicative if you know the correct numbers. And because they do apply to everything, perfect accuracy and precision would require measurements that we don't know how to make or could make, as well as measurements for stuff we don't even know about. In applied economics people necessarily make simplifications, like assuming nominal prices in currency accurately reflect the various considerations consumers and producers have in mind. Suffice it to say, even tiny errors can easily and quickly produce bogus assessments and predictions.

The proper criticism to basic economic laws isn't that they don't control, it's that we systematically underestimate (another measurement error!) our capability of applying them well, both ex post as well as and especially a priori.

The same problem exists in all fields, it's just that many problems are relatively more tractable; solutions may not diverge as quickly, are more tolerant of inaccuracy and imprecision, generally producing more useful results. But at some point your numbers are sufficiently off that your predictions and models produce results widely at odds with reality. Such as all the various crazy and contradictory hypotheses regarding cosmological phenomena; hypotheses which turn on tiny uncertainties regarding various parameters.

But in economics there are fewer constants and a heck of a lot more free variables for even simple predictions. It's quite literally intractable. That's why people often conceptualize "the market" as a giant calculator. We know the basic principles to the calculator, but at scale nobody can arrive at the solution faster than the giant calculator itself. Anyone telling you they can do so is necessarily lying to you. But in general the only people telling you that are politicians, pundits, and other people with an agenda, though sadly too many of them are also economists.

Krugman's recent mea culpa about globalization is a nice example of intellectual honesty.

I like to read the critics, contrarians. Including some I deeply respect but strongly disagree with, like Tyler Cowen.

Keeps me sharp, honest. With myself. Hopefully.
I didn't do that, but I know many who did (like one commenter above) and they exposed their savings to a risk and they got hit. That could have been the end of it and it would have been a sad story, but maybe a good lesson.

That's irrelevant to Peter's unethical behavior though. If you trip because you didn't tie your laces running to the ice cream van, you don't "deserve" people kicking you while you're down. That doesn't make any sense.
I don't understand the association you're making between having personal
problems and being an asshole in online conversations.

In my experience, on the one hand, most adults have some sort of personal
problem that complicates their life, and on the other hand, people who dont'
seem to be very troubled by what goes on in their personal life are perfectly
capable of being disruptive assholes. So there is really no reason to single
out specific classes of personal problems as causing disruptive behaviour.

I'm also confused by the way you use the term "sick". Do you mean it as in
mental illness, or general sickness, like having the flu, or a chronic
disease?

In any case, I think you're looking for a deeper explanation of why people
behave like assholes online. I don't think there is one. People sometimes
behave like assholes online, even when they're perfectly fine people
otherwise. You just have to find a way to make them see their contributions as
others see them, then they will stop being assholes because nobody likes to
come accorss as an asshole. Online or off.

Where’d you get that? The EIB is from the 50s, and includes non-ECB countries. It’s not an arm of the ECB.
> Printing money does not cause inflation.

Ah, but it does. It creates asset inflation. This may be the worst kind of all possible inflation because it makes people believe they are wealthier than they are. When the inflation can no longer be sustained, large numbers will soon find out they are far poorer than they once thought. That's the stuff of revolutions and Dark Times.

Asset inflation takes root through policies that distribute money, not to the poor (Great Society), but to the rich (Deregulation and Quantitative Easing). The rich have no use for the money being given out and so drive up asset prices with it.

From this perspective, it's easier to see how a multi-thousand word essay on new economics fails to mention negative interest rates once.

I'm a software developer. I mainly work web and android. That,ofcourse, I can't do it on a smartphone and my Linux distro probably does it better than Windows. Installing and configuring CLIs and other development tools are much easier on Linux. I usually just install a linux distro as dual boot to my peers rather than figuring out how to get those stuff configured right on windows. There are ofcourse things like ASP.NET that are difficult to develop on linux because Visual Studio isn't available but fortunately, I'm able to choose my stack and avoid such cases most of the time.
The windows-dependent workflows doesn't mean that doing those things with Linux is impossible. An inspiring story was published here recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21504721
Where they switched from Windows/Pagemaker/Photoshop to Linux/Scribus/GIMP for the complete process of designing and publishing a commercial newspaper. For video editing, there is kdenlive, openshot and blender.
GNU/Linux is definitely more than just a "web browser" OS and capable of doing most of the things that an average user does on windows.

How to Make Showering an Amazing Experience
The value to society of trucks is undebatable but I'm not so convinced for the personal car.

If we're talking about people moving large distances rapidly, there's solutions that don't involve transforming our entire living habitat to death zones.

These solutions dont apply to rural or small-town environments, but do apply to cities. And it just so happens that cities, by virtue of their population density, maximize the negative externalities of cars (less open space and more people means the pollution is more concentrated and affects more people. the noise of every honk is annoying more nearby residents, etc)

In conclusion, cars aren't necessary in cities but are awful for the residents, even for those who choose to never touch a vehicle.

How I recovered after getting fired from my first job in tech
I worked as a Product Manager for a couple years at a VC funded company with an aggressive unsustainable growth strategy. When things didn’t go well, a bunch of people got fired. Given the state of big tech right now, I think a lot of people are in the same boat. I love building products, so I took my lay-off as a kick in the ass to build my own business. It's still early days, and I'm far from being a success story, but I'm definitely happier now that I'm working for myself. If you're interested in my story, you can read about it here.

Accountants, pharmacists and programmers are smart. They have to be to do their job. Decorators, sports people and drivers for example can be smart but it is not required to do their job. I agree we should all respect each others talents and abilities that go beyond adding up numbers and thinking in symbols since these are boring talents anyway but let's not stretch the truth and say that everyone is equally 'smart'.
Honestly can’t tell if this is sarcasm.
 This is probably sarcasm.

If it’s not, you’re welcome to actually point out the configuration files I need to edit. I tried many “solutions”, even edited boot parameters to no avail. According to sources I read, someone without an Nvidia graphics card might have an easier time.
The alternative is learning what value you add to a company, what others are earning while providing similar value and learning how to communicate that value proposition effectively. These skills are much harder to learn than getting a qualification because they are subtle and not taught at school. Schools teach you how to get qualifications.

Knowing the right people is the same as having a qualification, it's a stat boost.
Single player games can be greatly satisfying as well, but they need a story that keeps the player interested. If we could have a game the size of No Man's Sky with a compelling story plus subplots and complex non player characters, such as the first 3 Mass Effect games (best games ever played in my entire life, ME3 lame ending aside), that would make a masterpiece even in single player mode. ME Andromeda apparently tried and mostly failed (I still didn't play it but watched hours of gameplay to get an idea), let's hope the next one will learn from past mistakes. NMS, which I still have to play, looks like to me a great online experience that could become also a killer single player game once enhanced for that purpose. One thing however I don't like much about NMS is the graphics which although truly beautiful artistically speaking, seems to me a bit too cartoonish.

Setting up your private Gitlab Runner
For a long time I was frustrated by the lack of scripting tools for orchestration. My ideal situation would be to write the orchestration / deployment config using the same programming language the app is written in. Eventually I found Pulumi, which supports a limited number of programming languages but is basically what I was looking for, except I would like C# to be officially supported.

Pulumi has a high-priority issue for deciding how they're going to support arbitrary programming languages: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/2430

I'm watching this with great interest.

Edit: looks like it's not high priority anymore :/

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but Google created this problem because they didn't want to pay Oracle for commercial use of Java.

This isn't always a problem. When Compaq did the same thing to create the first IBM compatible PC's, they did so very carefully, ensuring there was no one working on the team with prior knowledge.

I don't believe Google did the same thing and that's where my problem is. If they can look through Oracle's code, and just re-write it slightly to do the same thing to avoid commercial licensing, that doesn't help Open Source, it hurts it.
How can the hardware possibly support that in a usable way?
People were in general willing to accept it if it meant for a better game (which I would say they've definitely delivered on). In more recent updates Hello Games has committed to not doing this again in future. Given the game has lived up to what was initially promised I'm willing to trust them.
Build your own OCR (optical character recognition) model from scratch
I pay for 1Password to have the sync to work between Android, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Windows and macOS which is the systems I usually use. KeepassXC and alternatives mention nothing about syncing passwords or tells users to self-host their syncing. I'd rather pay a company to do that for me, at least because they will probably be able to do and maintain that setup better than me.

Although, it does carry the trade off of me being reliant on a third-party for my password-sync and that I have to pay. Currently it's worth it for me.
When I was working in this area during relatively early days, the difference was sometimes expressed this way:

* Fault tolerance: near-infinite MTBF

* High availability: near-zero MTTR

With HA there is a blip. It might not be visible to an application because of retries, but it is visible outside of the HA system/component to some degree.

Special bonus thought: as a guide to designing or implementing an HA/FT system, I always found it helpful to think in terms of what happens to system reliability as size increases. In a traditional system, system reliability goes down because of dependencies between nodes/components. In some systems this degradation is even worse than you'd think because it's tied to the number of connections - O(n^2) rather than O(n). In an HA system, system reliability should go up because of nodes being able to cover for each other.

The key question was always: if X fails, what other part of the system can make up for (not just survive) it? If it's a whole node, what other node(s) can take its workload? If it's a disk, where is another copy of the data? If it's a network, how else can nodes communicate or at least synchronize? That last was interesting but because it led to things like serial lines or pinging through shared disks as a last-resort way to convey cluster state. Fun times.
