>No, memes have not been “permitted”. Something is not legal just because you don’t get caught or sued.

All that matters is whether this happens much in the real world or not. The world's most draconian laws mean absolutely nothing if they're not enforced.

>It’s not ethical to claim it’s permitted just because someone can’t defend it.

I believe that our current copyright system itself is unethical. There is absolutely no point at which "copyright needs to extend 70 years beyond the author's death" and "copyright laws exist to further the advancement of science and culture" intersect. I'd even argue that these copyright laws are what hinder the advancement of science and culture. Memes don't mean much if they don't get shared and if sharing them is something people will get in trouble over then they just won't share memes.

Also, I'd like to point out that this copyright system has also created a variety of companies and people who abuse the system for monetary gain, yet there's essentially no recourse to be had.

My kids never showed much interest in program despite my encouragement, but this year our high school changed its programming curriculum to follow Harvard's CS50 model:

https://cs50.harvard.edu

The first half of the course is mostly in C and then switches to Python, and I really think it is a very well designed course that get students doing some interesting stuff very quickly while building a solid foundation for future learning. There is an online version of the course and students can watch all of the videos and lectures. I believe there is also a teacher training program for the curriculum.

I don't think there's much of a joke to get.

My reading is:

1) Someone (person A) said "He's not the messiah, he's..."

2) Another (person B) thought A meant that Terry Jones played the messiah (Brian) and corrected them by writing "...he's the actor that played his mum".

3) I stepped in to say, I don't think A implied Terry did was the messiah in the movie, he just referenced one of Terry's lines from the movie.

Makes sense?

Was there some joke I've missed?

Same. Many fond memories of HL1 and playing Counterstrike over dial up. HL1 drew me in in a way that Unreal never did... it was hyped beyond belief and was technically incredible, but the game itself felt flat. Half-Life on the other hand... incredible.

Even by the time HL2 rolled around I wasn't playing FPSes so much. I played and enjoyed it, but the experience doesn't compare to HL1.
What you're missing is that this is effort by the botter. Headless costs more, writing another step in the scraping process and de-obfuscating seems reasonable but again: That is effort by the botter.

If a botter really wants to it's easy to get emails scraped. But they don't care. The demographic of people having obfuscated emails on their page via Cloudflare (since you probably don't know every obfuscation solution out there you target the big ones) is also the demographic with a good spam filter (or just using Gmail).

Botters don't care about everything small. If you're bigger you do get better ones who probably specifically target you and then you have more problems then just having your email stolen.

The 99% solution from Cloudflare is complex enough to not get botted by shitty wannabe hackers.
I honestly have no opinion on the matter, and I no longer think it’s important. I don’t need to think he committed suicide to believe that his (and everybody else’s) persecution for homosexuality was a massive injustice. It doesn’t make him a more romantic or dramatic figure to me, the rest of his life was already wildly romantic and dramatic.

So I guess when I say that an argument is “reasonable,” what I’m really saying is, “I get where that person is coming from, and I don’t think they’re unhinged for thinking what they think, or for saying what they say.”

But that doesn’t mean I hold the same views. And without checking everything you’re saying, It seems reasonable too.

Lots of people don’t understand suicide, I don’t think we understand much about mood disorders or suicide (and for that matter, not all suicide is related to mood disorders! Lumping the two together reflexively is probably a sign that I don’t understand suicide either.)

Anyhow, this I do believe: If we can speculate that “Today, we would likely come to a determination of X instead of Y given the evidence,” we can also speculate that today, we’d have much, much better evidence.

And even better, if Alan Turing did commit suicide, and if he was motivated by his persecution, well then, today he would not have been persecuted to begin with. And if he had some mood issues for other reasons, well, while our society is still deeply flawed in this area, it’s still much, much better than it was in the 1950s.

Regardless of what actually happened, the larger story of our social progress around homosexuality and inclusion of atypical people——whether socially or neurologically atypical—- is the thing that matters, and his life’s story forms a part of that progress no matter what exactly happened to end it.
I believe the reference is to logical locality, specifically in the case of PDF that transforms and such are essentially atomic and there's no real boundary layer in which you may say "transform X and transform Y are equivalent within this local finite domain."

There really is no real differentiation between formatting and content in a PDF, so it's not possible to truly separate them.

I apologise for the editorialised quoting, I hope I stayed true to the original text.

More on-topic: People work at places like that because it could be so much worse. If it doesn't benefit humanity, maybe it also doesn't actively harm it. Of course this does not apply to ad companies, but there are plenty of vacuous shops that produce things that exist a thousand times over in other places and offer absolutely zero societal benefit. It's busywork, but it's better than starving or preying on your fellow man.

"Do people really use a debugger ?"

As with many other perennial programming debates, I think we underestimate the diversity of our experiences when having this debate. There are codebases that debuggers don't really help that much on, perhaps because they're technically very difficult to get running, or perhaps because they were written in such a way as to not really need them very often.

There are other code bases where debuggers are a necessity.

Some of those considerations are not even strictly speaking in the code themselves, but related to the code + developer; for instance, I really love debuggers for codebases I don't understand because I just came to them. You can read the code all you like, but until you watch it run, you don't realize that this one if clause that you kind of skimmed over actually invokes an entire chunk of code you didn't even know existed, etc. Whereas someone intimately familiar with that code may not need the debugger so much. Any sort of recursive data (parsing, HTML nodes, etc.) is a pain to deal with in printf debugging too because you either fail to dump out enough context to understand where you really are, or because you dump out so much context that you drown in it.

My call is that A: they're absolutely indispensable tools that you should have in your toolbelt so that you don't hesitate to use it when you need it, but at the same time B: you should try to avoid depending on them, because a codebase that you can't handle without a debugger is a code base that you can't understand, and that's bad.

I very deliberately say "should try", because it's not always practical; maybe you're just visiting this code base and have no reason to understand it, or maybe it's just intrinsically too darned large to understand, etc. But you should still strive to not need debuggers to follow subtle, complicated code, but make your code do what it says it does and no more. (e.g., stop using globals, don't write code that tries to figure out what lies to tell to other bits of code to make them coincidentally do what you want, etc.) I also say avoid "depending" on them, because if you don't depend on them, you can use it freely. I've only used a Go debugger a handful of times, but each time it saved me a ton of time. But the codebase in question remains comprehensible and straightforward, because I don't make skilled use of a debugger a prerequisite for following it. (I've inherited other code bases which do.)

> I'd become very interested in buying gear certified by a competitor.

UL’s main competitor is ETL. I can tell you that you very much should prefer products tested by UL. I work for a company that makes wire and it’s widely know inside our industry that ETL does nothing to ensure that products being sold with their mark are products they actually tested. There are lots of issues with UL’s enforcement of their mark, but ETL just doesn’t care at all.
The manufacturing work where you have to use humans is usually not as devoid of mental work as may think - things change all the time in your environment, you have to identify different kinds of things to be aware about.

If you're part of a production chain, how many parts are coming down the line? Am I letting people wait further down the line? For many manufacturing steps in a production line you need to manage an amount of tools and parts and keep control of your 'caches' because when you are not working on a part coming down the line, you're preparing intermediate steps, to be able to keep the pace.

Edit: And this task switching all the time can make it hard to get into any kind of flow state with the work. Because the 'disturbances' don't happen in a constant rhythm.

I've had some really weird experiences with this. Directly after school, I took a year off basically "waiting" for my job to finally accept me (long story, they eventually did) and now, every single recruiter or company I talk to demands I explain why I took a year off. "I see you didn't immediately join the workforce, care to explain?" is what they hit me with every single time. It is unbelievable that I need to explain it to them. They are usually accepting when I tell them I was just waiting for my first job to accept me, but I can't imagine it would be the same if I just needed some "me" time before starting my career.
You're forgetting the #1 cheapest and most effective way to reduce our environmental impact: efficiency of energy use and efficiency of resource use.

In the case of GDP, energy and resources are both costs that businesses try to minimize in order to provide end products and services, which is what the GDP measures.

Therefore, the carbon intensity of a dollar of GDP is expected to decrease in time, as people discover more ways to save money and compete better, in order to increase profits. They probably aren't thinking about decreasing the amount of CO2 emitted, especially when they are making business decisions. But since CO2 indirectly has a cost, the amount of CO2 emitted per dollar GDP has been decreasing drastically:

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EN.ATM.CO2E.PP.GD

If we were to directly price in the costs of CO2 via a tax, the fall would be far faster. And as we come up with tech that doesn't emit, and is cheaper than fossil fuel extraction, we will stop using these damaging resources completely.

There has historically been great resistance from the right to the power of energy efficiency, because of their ties to high fossil fuel consumption, and their attachment to GDP rising at all costs to fuel gains for those at the top of the capitalistic hierarchy. However, this was a miscounted belief.

Lately, this misunderstanding has been picked up by the extreme left, who had assumed that global collapse was their time to finally overturn market-based systems, but now fear that we will try to address the coming disasters of climate change without overhauling market based systems, so now after the yellow jackets gave it to Macron over carbon taxes, a fundamentally market based system, the left has now decided that the enemy (rural conservatives) of their true enemy (neoliberals in urban centers), they can pick up the mantle.

But it's important to fully recognize where these narratives come from and what motivation is driving those who push narratives, and return to the data for our ultimate analysis.

Stopping pollution does not mean destroying GDP. It means eliminating the parts of the GDP that cause the pollution, but other activity will quickly replace the other.

> In physics JHEP is a good example of a high class arxiv overlay journal that is extremely successful without APCs.

I don't think JHEP is an overlay journal anymore. AFAIK, JHEP is now published by SISSA/Springer with funds from CERN/SCOAP. SCOAP also pays for most articles in Phys. Lett. B and some articles in Phys. Rev. D. But SCOAP probably doesn't pay for open access as much as individual authors would have to.

> As far as I recall my publications with the APS did not have any substantial proof reading done.

APS did do a moderate amount of copyediting when I published with them in 2015. They (and most publishers) also check papers for plagiarism, and it's my understanding that the third-party services that they use for this charge a hefty fee [1]. arXiv only compares submissions with existing preprints on arXiv and not other journals.

> My understanding from talking to editors is that for professional societies, journal income subsidises other activities. Which is fine, but I would like to see that transparently declared.

I totally agree with the sentiment that most publishers charge way more than they should for open-access options. Premium open-access-only journals like Phys. Rev. X and Nat. Comm. are also problematic since it discourages authors who have smaller budgets and grants from submitting their papers to these journals.

> most decisions behind node.js were made on-the-fly rather arbitrarily without putting too much thought into it

that seemed rather apparent even at the time - what's been more interesting is watching others defend some of these decisions as if there was a lot of thought put in to them, and that they're some example of great architecture.

not specifically ragging on nodejs - I see this a lot in various projects - small/minor decisions compound over time, and even if they were not originally planned/intended to have significance, they have it at some point, and often people who weren't involved in the original decisions think there's a lot more 'there' there behind the original decisions, when, usually, there isn't.
These were the years shortly after reunfication in 1990. The reunfication hit West-Germany during a econonmic boom, so the economy was already producing at capacity and the additional demand shock from East-Germany could not be covered by West-German production. As a result imports raised and exports products were diverted to East-Germany at the same time and for a short time the trade balance became negative and some of the trade balances of Germany's neighbours temporarily improved due to higher demand from East-Germany.

BTW: It is a misconception that a trade deficit and a poor economy are related.

>You don't have the right to decide what is in the interests of the Marvel franchise, Marvel does.

That doesn't sound right though. Wouldn't this mean that any time a large corporation used somebody's copyrighted works that they're stepping on a huge minefield, because it's now up to the individual to decide what is in their interests?

I'm pretty sure that even US copyright law weights whether the potential copyright infringement creates an alternative product for the market.

>and they can easily show that infringing use of their copyrighted image is diluting their brand and/or causing some financial harm.

That's trademark law not copyright. It's a different matter, because trademarks have to be actively defended.

>I'm more worried about the many smaller independent businesses, and individual creators, that lose control of their work and have no practical legal recourse.

Then you're worried about the wrong thing. They will never have practical legal recourse as long as the legal system is based on spending a lot of money. We can't even get criminal law to work with this. What's the chance that we would get civil law to work with it?
