It doesn’t. Those are not professional level simulators.

MC is a modern simulator, and professional level. I assume the guy is retiring. You are not going to be simulating large ICs, but it’s still plenty good for other stuff.
And I believe oracle copied the amazon s3 api.

I can't make a informed opinion but my uninformed gut feeling is oracle have done what they are suing google for having done.
> We've wasted enough effort over obscure licensing minutia.

Which was precisely Sun/Oracle's goal when they released ZFS under the purposefully GPL incompatible CDDL. Sun was hoping to make OpenSolaris the next Linux whilst ensuring that no code from OpenSolaris could be moved back to linux. I can't think of another plausible reason why they would write a new open source license for their open source operating system and making such a license incompatible with the GPL.
>If there is no "approved" method for creating Linux drivers under licenses other than the GPL, that seems like a major problem that Linux should be working to address.

As a Linux user and an ex android user, I absolutely disagree and would add that the GPL requirement for drivers is probably the biggest feature Linux has!
Been spending the last few days building a new site for a long running project I own.

For the server, I’m using hapijs. It fits my style a whole lot better than Express.

For the client side, it’s entirely just raw css and js. Absolutely no frameworks.

Eventually I’m going to have to use a few third party tools when I get around to adding square or braintree integration but that’s a way off.

It’s an absolute joy to just sit down and get stuff done. Today I was able to move from getting the basic node server running in under an hour to building out a couple pages and writing some content. Added some css styling like back in the old days and without needing less or sass. Still only about as good as you’d expect from one day of work but it was so easy to do.

I didn’t spend hours setting up tooling, researching which extra npm modules were needed, etc. There’s no React garbage, no Everest of overhead just to get to a point where I could work.
Or you ask Google Maps and forget all this.
I also spent some time in the lucrative "I'll fix your PHP project" space. It was a good paycheck, but it could be downright miserable. I'm sure static analysis is better than it used to be though.

I think if you like fixing bugs (kind of like solving puzzles) and easing the pain of stressed out small businesses, it's a great niche. I actually had a teacher who still gets paid enormous sums to fix COBOL code for industry, so perhaps PHP5 will be similar one day.
If that was the case it would have been horrifying.
Yes because I can choose to find another job. No one chained me to my desk.
There are a lot of people with their intellectual capacities intact that express a wish to die. They don't get to die either.

For the most part society doesn't care about your wishes.

I think what it really comes down to incentives. As a society we don't want bullying people into a suicide to be a viable strategy for getting the inheritance money early. Or for getting rid of people in general.

This is the guy who exploited floods that killed thousands of people in order to promote Facebook VR.
Firstly, afaik many high-rises are already set up this way, especially in China or Hong Kong where they get pretty dense.

Also IIRC there's a settlement in Alaska or Canada that's just one apartment building, population of 200-something. Personally I wouldn't be able to live there, with everyone knowing who's sleeping with whom.

Secondly, I don't know how enclosed you want the space, but in many European cities, you get everything you need and most of what you want in a rather short walking distance―instead of having to drive. Plus you get sun and fresh air, as opposed to what was there in Kowloon.
Are you sure that was a video of Kowloon? The city was demolished in 1993. While it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that someone ran through the city while carrying a camcorder, it would have been a rather substantial piece of hardware, and would have attracted a lot of attention.
my understanding was that it was in administrative limbo. Britain owned Hong Kong, and China claimed authority over just to spite them. So Britain left it alone. But China didn't care enough to actually administer it. And besides, it was disconnected from the mainland and only i tiny insignificant plot of land. So why bother setting up all the infrastructure just for a tiny slum?

There are a wide range of conditions (neurological disorders, movement disorders, CSF disorders, sleep disorders, anemia, etc) that aren't dementia, but can look like it at times and will lead to someone being unable to care for themselves. That inability to care for oneself will persist until the conditions are successfully treated.

The problem with a dementia diagnosis in that context is that someone, probably the patient's family, has to go out of their way to show that the patient actually has something else and find a doctor willing to look into it before any other doctors will even consider the idea that they don't have dementia.

And while the patient has a dementia Dx, they will likely be chemically and physically restrained in a custodial care setting, which tends to further impair their functionality and ability to care for themselves, and that reduction in functionality is often taken as further proof that they are demented.

I have had between 10 and 20 physicians and 3 neurologists tell my family over the past two decades that what my grandmother had was Alzheimer's, Lewy body, and Vascular dementia, and that she would only decline. As it turns out, they were all wrong. They weren't just a little wrong, they were all completely wrong. To myself and my family, it was obvious that they were wrong because she would come back home from the Hospital, SNF, Board & Care, or Day Program and function much better than she did in those custodial settings, but they would only see her as mostly non-functional because the way they treated her significantly worsened her conditions. We had to really dig to figure out what was going on, but most people probably don't have the time and energy to do what we did.

There are also many people who do have different forms of dementia, but even in that population I imagine there are many treatable disorders missed that complicate their dementia.

Ultimately, the elderly are the most medically complex population with the least amount of time left to live, and because of that they tend to be given the least amount of care, and what care they are given tends to be of lesser quality. It's understandable from the point of view of triage, but as a society we should acknowledge that.

Well to be fair Gmail was still in Beta ;)
I feel like it's a huge step in the right direction, but for my own personal use:

- I still have mostly USB 2.0 peripherals. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

- I'm still hung up on the MagSafe adapter.

- I love the form factor. The 13" display is the perfect size, for me. I could've switched to a 15" 2015 rMBP with better specs, but I hated how big it was.

- I have no interest in using any version of macOS beyond 10.13, at present.

I'm really glad that they brought the Esc key back, especially as a pretty serious vim user. I don't know, maybe I'm stuck in the past. I'm certain that many, many people are really enjoying the new Macbook Pro 16; I just really, really like this laptop. It's the best computer I've ever owned.
I am in Australia, which is "first world" (I think you mean "developed") on a good day.

Over the new year, I was in an area where all power and phone communications were first limited, then cut completely. I was able to send/receive 30 megabytes of data in about 8 hours.

I understand there's always competing constraints and priorities, but shouldn't we be striving to do the best possible job?
Crime Story (1993) has a scene filmed in the abandoned city before demolition.
This s only true if you are buying a good, reliable scooter, which requires a high up-front cost that many people can't afford.

Look up the boots theory of sociological unfairness. You're able to save money this way because you can afford something sturdy and reliable, whereas poor folks, if they buy something, buy something that is cheap and will break quickly. They'll need to do this over and over again, which in the end causes them to spend considerably more money than you.

Rental scooters (and bikes and e-bikes) may feel like they're more expensive in the end, but they're generally much cheaper, when you consider repairs or replacement, and especially when you consider theft (which will be covered by your insurance, but poor folks don't have that).

Also, most scooter/bike rental companies have outreach programs for poor communities, which drastically lower the cost, or provide service for free.

Well living is the default, so the burden of proof lies with changing that state.

Alternatively you could argue that they still get out of bed and eat and engage, and perhaps these are signs enough of some desire to live. Anyway, I think there are some philosophical complications which require exploration.
Yes, agreed.

But if you can consistently predict whether an idea is "good", by definition you should be either hitting it out of the park consistently or getting massive returns on investments.

That would be a neat project. It’s hard to set aside the time when you don’t have much in the time bank. I’ve been wanting to do a lot more research on kernel scheduling, writing my own alternative scheduler, and more research on RTOS design and real-time computing in general.
thanks to this i looked at Rust again. Going over the Rust book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/. The concepts of ownership and borrowing made instant sense whereas before I had ignored Rust after hearing that it was way too complex. I think I just might take it up as a hobby.
There are some interesting voting systems out there, including quadratic voting, that used market based mechanisms. Maybe something more useful would be something like a prediction market where people can pay to express a preference for a particular policy decision. Everyone would receive an amount of credits depending on the amount of property they own (not necessarily land, but some abstract notion of property).
There is that, but I still think even in a system where everyone acts in good faith, it is by no means trivial to implement euthanasia for 'diminished states of existence'.
Linus is correct in his arguments. As the lead for the linux project, he shouldn't merge things that he feels isn't up to stuff from a license point of view.

That's why we have different software.

If you asked Theo to merge an encryption algorithm for example into OpenSSH and OpenBSD - he's going to have an opinion about it - and that's his thing.

Why would this be controversial at all?

In my experience it's relatively easy to get admitted to a "memory care" facility even if someone shouldn't be there. All it takes is a dementia diagnosis and a bunch of doctors who don't care enough to look harder.

Best case: There's an open source Quran app & site, done by people whose primary motivation is to use their tech skills as an act of worship. The more people use it, the more they benefit. The more people fork it, the more divine favor they get. A lot of people donate to the project, even though the team has no problem with server costs, etc.

But it's protected with a GPL-3.0 license. You can't just clone it, build, and sell it.

I think the base idea is that it's unfair for one person to spend years on a product and someone else to sell it. It's unfair for the people who have donated to the team that has built it.

The sense of unfairness prevents people from contributing.

It's far beyond the issue of the inherent purpose of warrants in the first place, because the material reality of the nature of information has changed dramatically.

Practical justifications have to come face to face with reality, and 'searching one's home for drugs' is a lot different than 'reading all of one's thoughts for the last year'.

We are where we are with warrants, so now we have to address the disproportionate issue that can arise with the online world.

To the extent that Google has any of that data, they have it because the user wanted them to retain it. You probably never read your old email drafts, but people would be upset if Google deleted it without them saying to do so.

Everything Google knows about you is available for you to retrieve, delete, and often even change. You totally can selectively edit your location history. It's not a forensic log because that's not the utility users get from it. The fact that courts want to use it as a forensic log is their own damn problem.

* Prices are not dictated by the market, they're dictated by the monopoly that runs it.

Those monopolies/oligopolies right now are having their cake and eating it too. It's insanity to me, a human, that you are okay with the way things are turning out. Perhaps I'm the misguided one, but it sure smells like Stockholm syndrome to me.

I have trouble believing that people will actually switch from ecigs to actual cigarettes. Adjustable nicotine flavored steam vs cough-inducing smoke with possibly less nicotine?

I guess a cigarette is smaller and easier to use where there’s no electricity source?

I guess a small percentage might migrate, though, as always happens with anything where you _can_ migrate.

A small percentage would try regular cigarettes in the first place too. It will be interesting to see if small subgroup of bigger, new subgroup is larger than historical subgroup.
Metals and, generally, homogenous materials (dielectrics, conductors, etc). Light reflects off of a conductor or a dielectric due to a relatively straightforward solution to Maxwell’s equations.
