If you want your code to be maximally useable, slap an MIT or BSD license on it. Anything else is commentary; the Discordian pope one makes me smile, to be sure.

But yeah, public domain isn't well-defined internationally, so MIT and public domain is more permissive than just public domain, in practice.
It requires self denial, I’m surprised so many people gloss over this.

After all, you could have taken that $25k out and spent it on yourself or on a vacation.

A lot of people’s nest eggs are much smaller than they could have been because they choose to do something else with their money, either out of necessity of pleasure.

It's also what was used for much of the colonial period in India because of the British, so it's not exactly off-base. Fahrenheit is still often used among older populations in many ex-British colonies.
Yes, but issues that politicians pay attention to isn't at all a perfect correlation for issues that the population cares about. They tend to only focus on a handful of issues at the same time for instance. It's possible PiS is now focusing on it for the first time but those attitudes were there the whole time.

edit: Oh, for transsexuality, perhaps the issue is that it seems to be increasing? It's an extremely rare thing in any event but it makes sense that if the numbers start going up it'd attract more attention:

A character in Asimov's "I, Robot" (the book) had one of these. He even kept it in his pocket so he could type discreetly with his hand resting on his leg.
I believe the plan is to release an Idris2 edition of the book. The Idris2 repository currently has all of the book code as part of its test suite and is making progress towards compiling all of it (currently 12 of the 15 chapters).

They've ruled out hitchiking. Which is a shame, because I'm reminded of the 'Jailbreak' charity fundraiser, where students are challenged to get as far as possible [with sponsors paying per mile] from their starting point using only transport offered for free. Some of them managed to persuade airlines to give them long haul flights...

> This is exactly what I mean. If you don't care about the difference between $5 and $15 then of course you don't see any reason for Fung Wah or any similiar service to exist because it is all downside.

No. You are making a lot of assumptions about me as well as twisting my words. Fung Wah being gone is good because it threatened the lives of their passengers. That feeling doesn't change whether my income level rises or not, and even if you disagree, you have no basis to make your claim.

Do you also chastise people who believe in regulation of alcohol production and sales? Regulation undoubtedly drives alcohol prices up, but it also prevents a lot of people from going blind from tainted batches like in Russia.
I was going to say the opposite, just because you'll "pay it off later" doesn't mean you're not paying for it now, with every single change taking longer than necessary.

It depends on what plan you are on. Afaik, the enterprise plans have key escrow and an option to recover your account if you forgot your password.
Some vehicles have parental controls where a key can be limited to a certain top speed and the car reports its GPS location when that key is used.
Sometimes, if you have multiple shots where the subject hasn't moved much, you can combine them to get accurate subpixel resolution (i.e., resolution higher than the camera has). However, this works best to subjects that are "fixed" like license plates.

IMO the fundamental problem we have today isn't that the particular techniques are bad, it's that the system is easily gamed and incentive structures lead to law enforcement simply acting in bad faith a lot of the time. They just want to put you in prison, irrespective of innocence, and they'll use/omit whatever data points they can to do it.

The problem isn't the techniques, it's that law enforcement in America seems to now be built more around profit than law abidence... And I doubt increased surveillance put in for the best of intentions wouldn't ultimately become coopted somehow by these interests too.

Posted in another thread... but I discovered how the FS in Docker for (Windows/Mac) worked the hard way. If you use a mounted volume in Win/Mac it does a syncing, not a direct mount/share. This lags and isn't a great option for live databases and if you're accessing the same SQLite db outside the container and inside, you will see corruption happen.

In any case, it was definitely an interesting discovery... since then, I only use shared volumes with the host as backup/restore targets, never for shared anything.

Not too long ago, my official title was postdoctoral scholar and I was at UC Berkeley. A little while before that, I was a PhD student working with a couple of "postdocs" whose title was postdoctoral research associate. I submit that I do exist as did my co-authors (who have since stopped being postdocs, but continue to exist as researchers.)

This was at another well-known US school. Perhaps thing are different in Britain, but I am not aware of any R1 university in the US where postdocs "do not exist."

Reading this was really useful for me. It does a great job of going into depth on high level topics like the python data model and also goes deep into lots of more isolated practical topics like covering useful data structures buried in the standard library, a very good discussion of unicode, and concurrency topics, etc, etc.

Python is changing a lot and there is for example no in-depth discussion of the typing module in this book because PEP 484 had only just been written the year before its publication. There's still about four pages dedicated to the topic written as an aside to chapter 11 which discusses interfaces.

Even though it's 5 years old and there have been plenty of additions to the language in that time, I think the book is still plenty useful today -- I still pull it off the shelf as reference from time to time if I'm going into the weeds.
Yes, one thing I try to do is sending them a hand-drawn postcard or hand-written message every once in a while. Little things like that matter, especially when meeting someone face to face is not possible.

Can you elaborate about tracking wall time --- how would you determine the real sync timing? Picking an arbitrary large delay (a minute) would trash the write performance

Frugal Living Mistakes That You Should Avoid
Games that “teach you how to kill”: bad. Institutions that literally teach you how to kill and then send you off to actually kill people: great!
This is slightly off topic but I think post-docs need to be better protected by their institutions.

When I was a post-doc I learned that we have essentially zero protections at least in North America. Most institutions hire post-docs as contract workers and can be fired at the drop of a pin with minimal severance. Disagree with your supervisor about the direction of your project or how your work should be published? Threaten to fire them or fire them and they have essentially zero recourse. Their work is owned by their institute and they essentially leave with nothing. This is particularly problematic for international post-docs.
And just like real debt, you can just walk away from it at any time with no obligation right, not even on your credit rating? Just look at the debt and say "don't want you no more" and the debt says "aw shucks. Guess you don't feel the benefit of paying me. I can understand. So all right.
I won't complain.", and the debt goes and disappears, down some dark alley with a bottle of scotch, no debt collectors ever hound you about it, and you never hear from the debt again.

That kind of debt, right?

But wait there's more! I forgot to mention that even if you walk away you get to keep what you bought on credit, without any further payment of any kind and it continues working in its current state, forever - you just can't improve or renovate it if you walk away from the debt.¹

That kind of debt, right? If so then perfect analogy.

-

¹ literal lie though, yes you can. you can totally still improve it real quick. I'm afraid I'll have to add $150,000 to your technical debt though, which you can walk away from any time. still want this real quick $50 change though? It might be $50 but it's $150,000 in debt though.

This project is trying to do too many things.

It seems like Ruby needs a profile guided optimizer, which means building an IR that is suitable for profile-guided optimization. That’s way different from classic IRs like this since it means having provisions for OSR exit.

This happened to me with GM

I tried to get developer access via a form and never got a response, so I tried sending a message the head of the infotainment on LinkedIn

Thankfully he was able to get my application to the dev site moving... but unfortunately, they required a business use case to get an API key once you had access to the site.

So I tried to pick the API key out of the app.

They had the most novel obfuscation I've ever seen for an app's API key

The key was inside the image data for the launcher icon

There was a weird transformation applied to it too, so instead of trying to reverse engineer it I just fired up Charles and intercepted it from there

With the API key and the documentation for the API from the dev site I was able to write a program that started preconditioning my Volt when I left my apartment (the car was in an attached underground garage, so it'd be at the right temperature by the time I got down)
If you work at a startup that is still trying to become profitable and you have a $300,000 deal on a line that is dependent on a functioning product demo by Friday, you rush as fast as you can, and you build it as well as you can in the time allotted. Unfortunately, there often simply isn't enough time and resources available to build it "right". But you manage to get a functioning demo/prototype working and the startup makes the sale and is able to stay alive for a couple more months.

You do everything in your power to explain the compromises that were made to the CTO and the CEO, and they weigh their options and determine that they want to keep duct taping things together as fast as possible to keep making more of these quick sales.

Building things "right" the first time is a luxury that is rarely possible in the real world, I've found. Maybe if you are working at a big company like Google or Amazon? But from what I've seen, even the projects coming out of those companies are often deeply flawed and have have a plethora of issues when they are initially released.

This is the real answer, it's a huge career risk to make compilers your niche unless you have an academic background in it. The gatekeepers in most CS specialties are really good, and there's an attitude that if you're not at least pursuing a doctorate/working on a big Google project then you're probably a charlatan.
Reducing the infant mortality rate depends on getting out of poverty, and the line above with infant mortality rates stabilize is way higher than the $1.90/day definition of “poor” that is used in this article, in fact in a lot of the world, the income needed to escape high infant mortality is as high as what the authors of the posted article have decided to call “middle class”.

I thought we were moving beyond "immigration quotas are racism"? Eastern Europe is almost entirely white so reducing immigration from there couldn't be racist to start with. But didn't the results from the last election show what a completely dead-end attitude that is? Labour constantly gave the impression they thought immigration controls were immoral or racist and had their worst defeat in a long time.

People in the UK overwhelmingly want to reduce immigration, something like 80%+ want that so it's a massively bipartisan issue, not because the entire country is seething with racism (where's the evidence for this extreme claim?) but because the existing policy recognises no limits on infrastructure build outs. It just assumes that infrastructure to support a person magically appears the moment someone chooses to move, which isn't true and obviously isn't true. That means it's a very naive policy that results in constant shortages and overloads.

And that's before you get into the economic and pace-of-change issues. The only people who believe that allowing an unlimited supply of low wage labour into a country has no effect on local wages are academic economists. Clearly lots of people believe otherwise.

But sure, whatever, by all means, believe a place immigrants choose to move in huge numbers is filled with hatred and racism against them. Believe that the entire thing is just misinformation. Believe what you want. It doesn't matter much anymore: those views lost.

How did you so quickly turn a nation's standing among the world's scientific powers into some sort of battle of the sexes?

I for one don't think that science supremacy is a reasonable goal for a nation. The goal should be to provide those Americans who wish to do so with the opportunity to spend their lives doing real research, and to carry that research product to other American who wish to use it for purposes that are useful to the nation.
I have been using and paying LastPass since it launched with no serious issues and a few minor ones.

The Register article makes gives no indication as to the number of users having trouble with the current issue.

My single issue with LastPass is that they don't offer an APK download options separate from the Google Play store, so my slow and steady migration will require, at some point, migrating to a different password manager.

I made a trouble ticket regarding this issue and they informed me they have no plans to offer a separately downloadable APK.

I’m always reminded of professional athletes. To be in the top 1% you pretty much need the genetics (inherit it). But that doesn’t mean you won’t get healthy by working out.

You will probably never be a professional athlete, but if you want to be healthy you must be disciplined with what you eat and work out, and you will become healthy.

You will probably never be 1% rich, but you still must be disciplined with how you spend your money and your time, and you can become wealthy.
The problem to me is this covers your language choice as a debt. You are literally borrowing against the knowledge in the standard library of your language choice. You may have to leave standard someday based on growth or success.

Most of what people call debt, though, is really just comprises. Which works, to me, as you can just say the code is too compromised. :)
This story is exactly why I want my cars to be dead simple. I don't care about the "luxury" that is having some gigantic distracting screen with whatever invariably-horrible software implementation running on it.

My current car is almost entirely mechanical, with the exception of electronic throttle body. This may sound like a petty gripe considering the pure garbage that is being sold today, but I can feel the difference between this and a throttle body with a physical cable attached to it. It annoys the hell out of me that I can sense a 1mm deadzone before the computer detects that I have pressed my accelerator pedal. I cannot comprehend how people are tolerating things like brake/steer-by-wire, lane-keep assist on by default, engine auto stop, emergency auto breaking, etc.

I understand the most profitable target market for these cars is "people who didn't want to drive in the first place", but can we at least spend a little time considering those still in the "I like to drive and don't want it to be a miserable experience" demographic?

Plenty of melanin, and habits that didn't involve being out in the direct sun at its hottest probably helped.

As for the British officers of the time, I assume a key factor was having people (slaves and/or other subordinates) to order to do work while they stayed out of the direct sun as much as possible, in their relatively luxuriant accommodations.
I can't help but feel for this guy having done my own reverse engineering of BMW's i-bus back in the day. You get to the point where you see such possibility if the carmaker would just open up a little damn bit. It's a real shame that automakers feel that every software or hardware integration with their vehichle should be something to monetize. Even the forward thinkers like Tesla are no better on this front.
I’ll never forget when I was issued a new computer at a new job with LastPass installed. It kept popping up a modal dialog (modal to the entire browser) with some inscrutable network error message. I never even bothered trying to use it after that.
