> Why have authors?

Because someone needs something written, and they hire you to do it. Or because you want to write, and then others discover that they like what you write, and they want to help you write more. None of this requires copyright, and in fact copyright make some works illegal to author, therefore it restricts authorship.

> Or poets?

As above.

> Or scientists?

Someone needs research done. Someone wants to do research. Someone wants to fund research. None of this requires copyright.

> Or SWEs?

"Hey I need this software, can you write it for me? Here's how much I'm willing to pay for it."

Copyright has never been relevant in my career as a software developer. If anything, developers giving up their exclusive rights via free software licenses has been a massive boost for the entire field and everyone is building products atop someone else's work. That's a good thing!

I only with copyright didn't restrict our field so much.

> we don't work for free.

Indeed, someone needs my labor and they pay for it. Pretty simple.

> Or would you prefer to drive the aforementioned out of business.

Strawman. GP argued against particular business models that are reliant on copyright. That's not an argument against these entire fields, and indeed most of them would continue to exist without copyright.

But yes; I'm ok with letting people with poor business models go out of business.

Abandoning copyright would enable other business models that are currently difficult or impossible to conduct legally. I think the status quo is bad, because there are many services I can think of that would benefit end users (and which I would pay for) but which are not going to happen because of copyright.

I am more into Material UI too (I am even maintaining bindings for a language that transpiles to javascript), but Ant Design's dark theme almost got me, it's really nice
We got similar speeds with $5 chips from TI (although the antennas on both ends cost more than $5!). With nicer hardware, speeds in the hundreds of kilobits and megabits are very doable. I'll link a table below from 2015. Back then, megabit speeds were rare but I believe they're marginally more common now. Of course most people aren't hitting their nominal bandwidth amounts.

On the other hand, household sizes have decreased.

(Though not sure about workers per household.)

> [...] it's increasing because more people in a household are working.

More people are working outside the house and participating in the market economy. Women worked before, domestic chores don't show up in these statistics.

Presumably they produce a lot more working outside the house: to estimate a monetary value of what they did before compare with the prevailing wages for nannies and housekeepers.
I will be sure to check those out, thank you!
Yes. Alas, the article doesn't say whether that supposed calculation they did was for Seattle or for the US in general.

(The article implies it's for 'Americans'. But it's just not very precise.)
The same with Bitcoin. It was massive, everyone had an opinion, articles on hn/reddit every single day, now I never see crypto news unless I seek it out.

Scrollable windows flash their scrollbars when focused.

No doubt there's a setting for this somewhere in OSX, but that isn't happening for me in Chrome, and it doesn't happen in the notifications panel where the Do Not Disturb toggle is either. What's worse, I set scrollbars to "Always show" in preferences it still doesn't show me that there are hidden options at the top of the notifications panel. There is nothing in the UI to indicate that those are there.
> Actually that's the opposite of a healthy response. There's no reason to investigate why someone likes something unless it played an active role in the thing that is being investigated. Asking yourself why Joe Dirt liked listening to your podcast about cats and listed it on his BAD THING manifesto is truly at the polar opposite end of what normal people would do. They would definitely not feel concerned that he listed them as an inspiration.

As a Dutchie blunders like the one you mention are so stupifying... Takes you a ten minute visit to NL to figure out why you need to separate modalities consistently, yet even as close as Germany and France cities are designed so obviously by people who never ever bike.
The code is written in Rust. The core algorithm can be found here: https://github.com/allthemusicllc/atm-cli/blob/master/src/ut...
(Specifically the function gen_sequences. It basically uses multi_cartesian_product to iterate over all permutations.)

Isn't it a bit of wasted space to store the generated data on archive.org (https://archive.org/download/allthemusicllc-datasets)? I mean, as we see, it's trivial to create them. The code above is kind of a self-extracting archive, so it's just the same thing but in compressed form. And I guess it should not matter (legally) whether you store it compressed or uncompressed (or less compressed).
Bread is definitely a part about getting good flour, you can get everything else right, but a poorly stored flour can make it end up bad.

Ten JavaScript articles this week (#206)
Crashing clang in 52 bytes
At the time, heliocentrism explained most phenomena with fewer assumptions than did geocentrism:

1. Why do some planets undergo retrograde motion, while others don't?

2. Why does retrograde motion only occur when a planet is opposite the Sun?

3. Why is there retrograde motion at all?

4. Why is it that we always observe smaller objects orbiting larger objects? (the Moon orbits the Earth, Jupiter's moons orbit Jupiter, implying that the Earth probably also orbits the Sun)

5. What are the orbital distances of the planets? This is completely undermined in the geocentric system, but very tightly constrained in the heliocentric system! In a geocentric world, there's no reason why it should be possible to even create a reasonably fitting heliocentric model. The opposite is not true.

Different oservations of apparent angular diameters were wildly inconsistent at the time of Galileo. It's natural that he would give less credence to an argument based on such shaky observations, and more credence to the many types of observations that favored heliocentrism.

Beyond these observations, there was a more general consideration. The geocentric model had been based on a view of the Universe that held the Earth to be fundamentally different from the heavens. Galileo's observations (of mountains and craters on the Moon and of sunspots, for example) showed that the heavens were actually very much like the Earth. The heavens were not a separate realm of perfect forms. They were made up of real worlds with their own landscapes and imperfections. Putting the Earth at the center of that Universe seemed absurd, whereas it hadn't before.
Imo, the hard part is not the processing power but the programming. It's not like we know how to create superhuman intelligence that runs at 1/100000 of normal speed and just wait for faster hardware.
Serious economists mostly suspect that the CPI overstates inflation. See eg https://www.schroders.com/en/sysglobalassets/digital/insight... or do some Google searches.

In any case, I agree that inflation (or more precisely, the price level) is a finicky statistic to agree on. So if you are making an argument, it's better if you can avoid inflation.

Eg people like to argue whether median real income has stagnated or not. And that crucially hinges on inflation. But what they actually want to talk about seems to be whether workers get 'exploited' more. So we can instead look at the labour share of GDP over time. No inflation adjustment necessary.

The article you linked to is somewhat hilarious. It suggests eg China is cooperating with the US in massaging American inflation numbers. (See point 2 in their list.)

Yeah, and considering that the .NET 5 runtime will run in WebAssembly this is quite interesting. Maybe they are porting VBA libs to .NET. Then C# and VB.NET can pick up.

Or they do the real deal: Port VBA to .NET ... that however, would be a little bit difficult to explain with VB.NET in place as well ;)
That's because most cars were taken off Market St in 2015: https://www.sfmta.com/project-updates/turn-restrictions-mark...

Since then most cars on Market St north of Van Ness seem to have been Uber and Lyft. Now they're finally banned. If buses are actually running faster--not just a consequence of less traffic during the winter months--it goes to show how much Uber and Lyft have contributed to traffic in the city. They drive slow, erratically, and stop in the middle of the road on main arteries to pick people up and drop them off.
I take the 5R nearly every week day. Anecdotally, it seems like it’s been better lately (though it’s always been adequate), but I didn’t connect that with the market street car ban until now.
HN is brutalist, meaning raw, unvarnished. There's no excessive whitespace and no animations. It's minimal in the correct sense: as simple as possible, but no more.

The problem with many sites is that they're actually quite complex behind a façade of simplicity. Which means lots of wasted space, unnecessary clicks, and not finding what you're looking for.

Or not execute at all as is my case ;)

But I see what you're saying. Most of these, I suspect will become clear after people start using the product (e.g. breadth of offer, delivery, differences in the environment).

Others should probably be clarified from the start (e.g. price, quality/expectation).

Oh, that story. I remember it. A lot of the high-performers left shortly after that. It was all triggered by some lawsuit in the first place anyway. The "give everyone the same salary" was like a compromise to weaken the lawsuit while at the same time to make a positive impact on media.

Doesn't that just end up calling open() and mmap()? Might not have access to the args passed through at that point, but that's going to leave a trail and of course anything interesting the mapped program does will end up going through syscalls(opening other "files").

VBA was the first environment/language that I professionally used at the beginning of my career. It was so efficient to navigate in an environment that had 1000s of Excel files. I did not realise how fast I could develop the things needed to be done.
Same in Austria, we simply grew accustomed to bikes sharing the road with cars, busses and trams which I'm sure would be terrifying to someone from NL.

The problem is, after the post war boom, the cities were planned for cars and now there's simply no space left for cycling lanes unless we ban cars which as much as I wish for will never happen in my lifetime.
Diffraction of light was only understood in the mid 19th century. They simply had no idea what to look for. In Galilei's time, making optical instruments was mostly based on trial and error.

I am not a lawyer, but as I understand copyright law there seem to be to be two problems with this:

- a copyrightable work must include some human creativity. It seems to me that an enumeration of possibilities might be creative, but there is no way an individual element of that enumeration can be considered creative.

- Copyright depends on copying. If you release a song with a catchy melody stolen from another song, then you infringed its copyright, regardless of if there is an licensable version of that melody that you could have copied. What matters is which one you copied, not the existence of alternate copies.

It's about fourteen kinds of ridiculous, as summarized in other threads. No rhythms, no meter, no tempo, melodies are longer than 12 notes, it's diatonic, single octave, no concept of underlying harmony, the headline is literally false, etc.

Some of the copyright lawsuits are dumb and this is effective satire or performance art but that's all it is.

Extending no matter how you look at it, the CBD business is perfectly healthy, and it has been developing quickly for the recent years. Its gigantic development began when a Harvard graduate effectively separated CBD from a Cannabis sativa plant, and has proceeded with its force because of its unprecedented ubiquity. In 2017, the U.S. CBD industry developed by about 40%, and after a lot of loosened up hemp guidelines were accomplished from the 2018 Farm Bill reestablishing modern hemp to across the nation legitimate creation, reports have anticipated it to significantly increase in size by 2022, coming to up to $1.3 billion inside only four years. Driving the walk forward right now of cannabidiol is CBDfx!

VBA was my entree into professional programming and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I enjoyed using BASIC to solve my own problems (games) as a kid, but VBA showed me how fun it was to solve other people's problems.
The only relevant response to this is to remove all pictures from Linkedin, Github and social sites - and only publish pictures on sites we control our self where we claim 100% copyright for all pictures. May be we could offer these pictures for sale to 3rd party use, for a small fee of few hundred million euros per picture. If someon scrape them and use that information commerially, and we somehow discover that, it's just to send them an invoice and see them in court.

Wow - that escalated quickly - should of added the sarcasm flag to it. Certainly it's not okay to tamper with someone else's system without their permission.

I would suggest they just take it with them, I would not leave mine laying out for other's to watch.

Maybe I should of suggested having a battery powered 360 camera on hand, perhaps shaped like the blue yeti microphones and painted like an eye?

Surely there is or one could be made / adapted to have an app where they can watch their laptop from the loo.. or rewind and see if anyone got near it. Maybe just a battery for a wise cam that can last 20 minutes. That way storage and app is and detection is already done.

Put into a minion or sauron tower / all seeing eye and it would be easy to keep an eye on it while keeping your eyes to your own projects.
A spectrogram has time on one axis and frequency on the other, so the ultimate result is a multiplication in one dimension and a convolution in the other. It can be used to show things like when a note starts and stops in a piece of music, which is difficult in either purely-time or purely-frequency space.

Also, it’s computationally intractable to individually train 2^N weights. What a CNN does instead is train a convolution kernel which is passed over the whole domain to produce the input for the next layer; by operating in frequency space, it’s considering the basis functions e^{j omega +- epsilon} instead of delta(x +- epsilon)
Definitely an A-Ha in my life was visiting a friends family business many years ago in a nondescript industrial park on the way out to the desert. They're in the Pet supplement space. Family owned for over twenty years old. Legacy customers. Millions a year in revenue with a healthy margin. Barely any signage amongst two dozen units yet luxury cars lined the parking lot. The A-Ha was the idea of "unglamorous businesses" having all the benefits of success without having to maintain the shine. At the time, I only saw the opposite; chase buzz, etc. so this was a paradigm shift on the nature of how businesses operate.

The author mentioned it's confusing even when one of similar character is used (like base 10), the program can indeed automatically resolve typo (e.g. treat O as zero).

This doesn't require the user to be technical.
Not sure where you’re going with the can’t buy crappy stuff anymore argument, from another perspective, most things built today are crappy Chinese junk compared to things built 70 years ago, if they existed 70 years ago. Mending and the art of repair has been forgotten by most - if your TV has an issue, you’re more likely to buy a new one than fix it, even if it’s possibly repairable for less than a couple hundred bucks by someone who knows there way around electronics. Same goes for clothing, small appliances like blenders or table fans, and a lot of other things. OTOH, something like a fridge today is much more efficient than it was 50 years ago, but it may not be as easily repairable or simple - look at cars nowadays versus the cars before 90/00s - no computers easy to fix. Now you buy a Tesla that is put together like an iPhone.
> unless you're averaging them!

Nitpicking, but that seems like a great case for them being numbers. You will never average credit cards or zip codes. Averaging times is meaningful too (e.g. the mean arrival time).

I think op meant "adding" as generally doing math on them. Each quantity will have its own natural operations.

I see what you mean though, subtraction seems like a good heuristic by virtue of difference being mostly (always?) meaningful.

I'm involved in a volunteer organisation in my city that takes excess food from supermarkets and bakeries and reuses it, if you signup to be someone to collect the food you can either keep it for yourself or redistribute it by taking it to a shared fridge for homeless people. There is often far too much for a single household so it usually taken to these fridges or shelters. I work directly as someone who collects the food and also on programming related tasks to keep the organisations website and apps running to coordinate pickups. There are 30,000 people involved in this initiative in cities all over Europe. While it may not "solve climate change" or "solve homelessnes" it has a direct impact on my local community, we can all only work in the frameworks we're given while rallying and voting for bigger systematic changes at the same time. The idea that one activity somehow cancels out or distracts from a bigger issue is bullshit, humans are capable of caring about and being involved in multiple causes.
A counterpoint to that is that genetically modified organisms can be patented and those are effectively random perturbations of current 'state of the art' which are then selected for fitness.
In Rome, on top of the church of Saint Ignatius (you know the one that has a tromp l'oeil dome), just behind the building that used to house the very first Jesuit school (ask a Jesuit and they will say the very first school in the modern sense), used to be the Vatican astronomical observatory. Nowadays there is nothing much left to see, since all of the scientific instruments were moved to a museum in Florence when Rome became part of Italy in 1870. The place is not open to the public, but if you know a friendly Jesuit you can take an elevator from within the church and take a look around.

The first time I went there, the Jesuit who was accompanying me told me that Galileo had visited this place, and that the story of church vs. science that we've all learnt in school was very simplified. Apparently Riccioli defended a hybrid geo-heliocentric model (due to Tycho Brahe) where the earth is at the center of the universe, the sun and moon revolve around it, but all the other planets revolve around the sun. We now know neither the sun, nor the earth is at the center of the universe, so both models were equally wrong, however according to my Jesuit guide, Riccioli's point of view was the only one that would have been both theologically acceptable and scientifically sound.

I guess what is really wrong about the classical story of Galileo's trial is that the catholic church is not and never was a monolithic entity: there are factions, dissent, political agendas.

If you're interested in further reading on Riccioli the Wikipedia page is very detailed:

You might have a case if you were paying for the test out of pocket, but I presume you have health insurance. In that case, it is also the doctor's duty to prevent unnecessary spending.

Combined with the fact that most patients are not well informed and will demand pointless or even counterproductive, it is better to leave treatment and testing decisions to doctors, not patients. Even if doctors sometimes get it wrong it is still better than the alternative.
