What about farmers, miners, bakers,..., surely they are more important than caregivers and teachers or social workers? This is a silly argument to assign value to a certain profession based on how one feels. And what do hunger-gatherer societies do when they run out of food for whatever reason. Do they just say, no our 20 hour quota was already fulfilled this week, we'll starve now. The a amount of work neccesery to enable our modern lifestyles today is sometimes unimaginable to a person who has everything brought to them.
Thank you for the info! Good luck with everything!

I built a small utility as well, and I'm using a somewhat unique payment model.

It's free and open-source on GitHub. You can download the source code and build it yourself with Xcode.

https://github.com/pkamb/powerkey

I also provide a $5 built app available to purchase via Gumroad, code-signed with my Apple developer account and ready for immediate use without Xcode with no scary macOS warnings:

https://gumroad.com/l/powerkey

I found that this model works really well for small projects where you want some of the benefits of open source and don't want to deal with upgrades or nag screens.

It would be even better if GitHub built some "paid release" features into their product, in addition to their Patreon-style Sponsors feature.
When Discord was making that move, Epic store did not exist, the period when both stores existed was rather short and unevnentful, discord's being on clear decline, epic's not even bare bones and tossing money on any and all early access games in sight.
Without further evidence, this article seems patently false. It essentially claims that over 1 in 10 American college students are looking for sugars daddies on a single website.

What seems far more likely is that, like every "matchmaking" website, there is a majority of accounts that are made up. They are obviously motivated to tout the number of young college kids in their marketing to attract the money, ie sugar daddies, to their website.
Idunno, they're fairly competent. Not all WW1 or WW2 bombs can be disarmed, sometimes the trigger is too sensitive or can't be safely disarmed. Sometimes the best call is to detonate the bomb when you know it's going to blow rather then when you don't.

We had a rather large bomb (3.8t) the previous year in my city, a large radius (1.5km) was evacuated and the disposal team went in (opting to forgoe the protective gear as the bomb was too large anyway) and successfully disarmed it. It's simply pure luck.

LOL, you are my first internet stalker!

I realize that I am preaching in the dark here. This has never deterred me to state my views.
I'm interested to know what you think is "grody". This is what I came up with:

#define DO(...) for(long long _a[]={__VA_ARGS__,1,1,1,1},i=0;i<*_a;++i) \
for(long long j=0;j<_a[1];++j)for(long long k=0;k<_a[2];++k)

It doesn't seem bad to me, and it'd be pretty easy to extend or add asserts to catch when you introduce a fourth arg.

gcc also appears smart enough to remove the unnecessary loads, so I'm going to keep playing with it.

>A lot of these CV hacks work only on existing tech

This is true for every countermeasure for every tech. Total covering of the face may be temporarily effective as well. Who knows, maybe it will become impossible to find a bike helmet that isn't connected to the internet with sensors inside it.
I wouldn't go directly for the untrue things but it would be nice to have a place to specifically discuss podcasts with a nice interface to point out to excerpts (with transcripts it would be even more cool.)

One option now is to use the clip sharing tool in Overcast and tweet out the clip, it works really well. But that is just one client.
'Automated Stupidity' would be more descriptive and correct. :)
Sure, but getting others to write about your project is a huge milestone.
Oh, okay... are you referring to fuzzy logic where statements have a partial truth value?

I'm (mostly) referring to the case where the truth value is either true or false, but where you aren't sure, so you can say "80% probability this is your phone".

There are also cases where truth values aren't as clear cut, which I also mention, such as the question of whether or not something IS a chair. (Is a chair taped to the ceiling still a chair? Is a log I sit on out in the middle of the forest a chair? Etc.)
>Is it though?

Absolutely!

In order to learn/study something, you need unbounded enthusiasm/motivation (though it maybe irrational). Once you have jumped in with both feet, reality will slowly strip the fantasies but hopefully by that time, one's interest is sufficiently solidified that one can settle down to the long grinding road to mastery. It is Emotion which drives one to Action while Rationality modulates it.

The key is to light the fire within one's imagination. Any kindling will do whether sane or not. Everything that the Human Species has achieved has started from here.

Another interesting comparison is bike v. horse.

It is very close for anything up to, say, 2.5 miles (4 km) with record times of 4:02 - 4:05:

https://www.simhorseracing.com/recordtimes.php

The bike will win over very long distances.

Funnily enough, music of all industries is having their own similar "come to Jesus" moment with copyright along the same lines of the Oracle v. Google case.

All code (and music) is math, at it's core. It's a pipeline of transformation functions that end up getting a particular system to do a particular thing (or assortment of alternating musical notes and silence that make up an experience).

The problem comes in that when everyone converges to the same tools and ways of doing things, you end up running into copyright induced paralysis innovationwise. Over time, there is a trend toward "nothing new under the Sun". Once this point is reached, copyright poisons landscape for everyone. No one is free to innovate, because that innovation is dependent on some schmuck who won't just let their copyright die.

The entire bloody concept of copyright is one of the most intellectually destructive forces on the planet. The fact we've entertained this farce this long is testament to humankind's love of the long-period, delayed-activation foot-gun.

Also, to respond even more to your point, API's are meaningless in the end. The Binary is what runs, and all it takes is a pass by a code mangler to fundamentally change the character of code to make it a derivative work.

Will it be as warm, comfy, and human readable necessarily as the original? No. Will the binary generated from it run exactly the same? Yepper. You bet it will. It's part of what makes copyrighting any particular program on a Turing Machine farcical. You don't want me using yours? Fine. Give me a bit to rejigger and reimplement with a slightly different naming convention or approach to optimization.

Boom. Equivalent functionality, completely different source code. Almost as if computer code were some sort of mathematical construct.

We cannot afford to maintain this litigious stature when the means of production and innovation exist in everyone's hands. It's not a case of one company trying to get one over on another. It's a case of a handful of people stomping their feet and saying "How dare you put in the work to make me irrelevant! Someone force them to pay me!"

We need to cut the time of copyright, and leave enforcement of it alone, or we need to seriously weaken the enforcement severity if we're looking at fundamental technological building blocks getting locked away behind the threat of an angry legal department.

And no, in case anyone is wondering, anything I write for myself, I pretty much just implicitly release to the public domain. I don't want to have to solve the same problems over and over again, just slightly different and for a different boss this time; nor do I want anyone else to have to.
Nah, 3 (0b11) and 5 (0b101) differ by 2^1 but differ by two binary digits. Or 7 (0b111) and 11 (0b1011). But as I said it’s a starting point.
APIs are interfaces. If an interface is truly innovative in some important way, the proper way to protect it is with a patent, not with copyright. Of course, then you'll have to actually prove that it's sufficiently innovative - and, conversely, somebody could challenge your patent and strike it down by e.g. providing examples of prior art.

If all APIs are copyrighted, then interoperability goes out of the window. How far do you think would F/OSS have gone if it couldn't re-implement Unix enough to be reasonably compatible? The story of Linux vs Hurd tells volumes right there.
Yes, but Apple is very unlikely to achieve that, as not only it doesn't only take money, but all the money on the earth wouldn't be able to achieve that with current tech (or even next-decades tech...)
We should instead concentrate on mitigating the ongoing collapse of our civilization, so that the next one might get a shot at that ! (And Apple is not likely to help here, on the opposite, they are too invested in kicking the can, which makes things worse.)
This is an area where Bayesian methods really come to the fore - dealing with non-normal, even non-parametric, distributions. That’s not to say they can’t be treated in frequentists stats. I’ve never read that book but perhaps it stops before dealing with how to handle all that stuff.

Regarding your specific point about how do you quantify error regarding your chosen prior? The answer in a Bayesian framework lies in things like credibility intervals, posterior distributions, posterior predictive distributions, depending on what you’re actually trying to quantify.

Very long story short, the latter allows you to sample from a distribution of predictions - for which you can then form a variety of error estimates (and the distribution doesn’t have to be parametric). That will quantify uncertainty for the model you’ve made using the prior you chose (and the data). But usually we wouldn’t recommend changing your prior just to get lower uncertainty unless you have some rationality behind changing the prior. Priors should really be chosen based on domain knowledge etc etc etc.
Shouldn't that change when you switch your region to "all regions" at the top of any results page?

That's my assumption at least, since my country isn't available as a region.

>they also have to pay my search engine now, which means all other things equal, this costs me money.

Most customer focused companies could save a pretty sum of money by not advertising. Of cause it may hurt overall sales to not advertise.
It's also not very well targeted at global reach. I mean, I assume it's a reference to something in some language / locale? Or, is the humor just super absurdist, i.e. they might've called it ShoeShoeEat and it would've been equally "humorous"?

Assuming the first, it simply means they never imagined being used by people other than (I guess) Americans. Which is unfortunate, but forgiveable.

It's also a terrible finger twister on the keyboard. I wish they swapped duck.co and duckduckgo.com so I could search on duck.co and find dev info on the fingertwister.
I don't think this really is what people might call a sandbox but it can optionally block or allow syscalls happening (in my mind only one aspect of a sandbox) and it looks like it's interactive. I think this is great. OpenBSD has had great success with pledge and I have been experimenting with seccomp (via the libseccomp project) with both Node.js bindings and a cli in C for doing a very similar thing as Sandy (although not interactively, which is a nice touch).
Repeating shawnz's comment more explicitly: you said that the mechanism used by <() is "not actually a pipe". What is `pipe:[20519634]` doing in the output of `cat <(ls -l /proc/self/fd/)`?

What it looks like is ls having its stdout (fd 1) directed to a pipe.

If Google wins it basically re-establishes the status quo. Unless you think things are a disaster now I don't really understand your conclusion.

>The difference between a free/proprietary API is that you can't use a drop-in replacement, but we already avoid proprietary software, or overly restrictive software, all the time. So wouldn't we just continue doing so?

Right now we can drop in implementations as we see fit. Oracle's win would mean all proprietary APIs become vendor lock in. This would be a massive sea change that would shake the industry (possibly many industries?) to its foundation.

>it's code just as much as a library is code

APIs enforce a representation. We are free to re implement the functionality of other software without copying it verbatim. Any implementation of an API will produce an exact copy of code at the API boundary. This is inescapable and we should not treat this as copyright infringement.
Are you sure? How does diff know to read from those two pipes?

Even the echo example hints, that the created pipe has a name, and that name is then simply passed as the argument to the command.
When I started programming lisp, I was more or less forced to use Emacs. I hated it. The benefits of slime and paredit made me stick to it, but God I found it awful.

But over time something happened. I gradually realized that Emacs does everything I really want from a computer except painlessly browse the web. It was everything I ever wished for an OS to be.

The lowest common denominator of what I do on a computer is text. Text happens to be what Emacs does. Better than everything else, in my opinion. It is like if someone took all the time spent on other things and spent it all in how to efficiently manipulate and to some extent present text.

The more things that lets me stay in this wonderful text-centered world and the atrocities that is most modern OSes the happier I am.

The only thing I dislike about Emacs is that I can't configure Mac os to stay enough out of the way to let me forget it.

I’m on a forum that’s been around for a solid 15 years and doesn’t give you posting rights unless you pay $5/year. The amount is trivial enough that even the poorest members can manage it (or if they’re regulars and liked, others gift them a subscription) yet it seems to be enough to stop spammers bothering. There’s been a few trolls over the years who paid the $5 to bombard the forum with stuff but there’s also posting limitations for new members and other restrictions so it never goes very far.

I still love forums to this day and think they have a place in the modern web. Reddit and Facebook will want you to think otherwise, but there’s hundreds of niche hobbies that specifically DON’T want the network effect of a large multi-topic forum like reddit and still do very well.

When you work for somebody else (or with somebody else) then you try to do as good of a job as possible, but the ultimate responsibility still lies elsewhere - might be your boss or could even be the group. There will be other people who interact with your code and might spot errors. There will be people who are trained, in some capacity, to figure out ways to mitigate against accidentally generating very large bills. It is exceedingly unlikely that these points hold true for a solo developer working on a main project, let alone a side project.

Even if you are hyper competent and can probably get all of this correctly, you can't rest easy. You simply don't know whether you did everything correctly or not. Just one dumb mistake can saddle you with an enormous bill.

This is just like gun safety: don't point your gun at anything you're not intending to shoot. Mistakes happen and the consequences of it can be catastrophic.
That's a sign of a bad interviewer and thus also an indicator of potential bad management.

I'd take those experiences as a blessing rather than a curse.
What makes a program easy to read is not its syntax but its semantic, that dictates how much context one has to keep in mind to be able to understand a small fraction of code.

For instance, C and Go are easy because they do not hide anything and what one sees is pretty much unaffected by what one does not see. On the other hand, because those languages do not permit to build efficient abstractions they are also harder to read because each given sample, although unambiguous, perform very little.

Other languages like C++ (despite a syntax that is close to that of C) or Haskell, allow the behavior of the simplest operators, including the application and the sequencing operators, to behave in unfamiliar way or hide subtle but meaningful details, which makes understanding any small bit of code like a gamble (one has to assume some behavior for operators, constructors...). On the other hand, they allow to build abstractions that make programs more terse and therefore easier to read.

In this trade of, none of the alternatives depends significantly on the syntax.

I think a lot of people have associated obscure syntax with bad programming experience because of perl, the language which syntax became synonymous for bad. Indeed, this is a case where the syntax can be teacherous, but still the language is made more problematic by its semantic, that tries hard to give a meaning to any use of any variable in any context, this delaying runtime errors even more than other runtime typed languages and even masking them entirely (then performing something else than intended).

I think this mental association must be done away with.
