Does anyone know how caches and the internet archive are legal?

I mean like some dude wrote this article (to I guess drive traffic to his website or freelancing work or for whatever reason) and then people are just straight up copying it over to their servers and redistributing his work. I'm just wondering what the legal mechanism is
Not great for compiling a big c++ project, but then again that's pretty much the top end of "normal" demands (I haven't had to use c++ in over a decade for example & worked as a developer the entire time).

A top of the line 2008 desktop (especially if it had been occasionally upgraded but even if it hadn't) will still be faster than a low end laptop as described above (the kind you can buy for €200-300 at Lidl) & perfectly good for front end web dev (what I happen to be doing for a living currently).

It would upgradable be something like 3ghz core 2 quad, 8gb ram and reasonably fast (non-m2) SSD. I've certainly done web dev on less than that.
Building an African Cigar Brand
Ok we got it. Websites/Online-Stores and custom coded backends are not "tech" according to the article (much as CDs/Videos are not tech). But still the ways of building these things change every day. UX/UI patterns change. Frontend Frameworks change. Its all about the tech in "tech" in my opinion. The web and how we perceive content in 10 years will be much different than it is today and its our job to make this happen.

The cheapest SSD per TB I have seen was 2TB @ $159 from Sandisk[1], which is an one off price, but most of the SATA non NVME PCI-E SSD can go as low as $90 - $100 / TB.

I dont mind QLC / PLC or Speed limited by SATA Port. Some day I would like to replace my NAS with SSD, but it has to be a price point that is worth it. May be around $60/TB.

The problem is I dont see any roadmap to suggest we have tech to bring it to that price point in the next few years. ( ignoring economic irregularities )

I don’t really understand SaaS for such mature products.

My work (woodworking) is about making pieces of furniture. Using software is only a part of the process. It is not the actual goal.

I want to pay a one off price for a stable and feature complete tool. I don’t want to fund a bunch of developers noodling around with new features I don’t want, or fixing bugs they should be patching anyway, as part of the original price of the software.

Interesting that the criticism is levelled at Autodesk 'the company' rather than that it admits what people don't want to say: Autocad is pretty good, and it will take a large and well funded entity to take it on. Using anti-trust tools may be the right tool here but the industry as a whole was quick to adapt to Autocad long before it became a dominant player.

Autocad - not Autodesk - has many 100's of years of development done to it. It was essentially game over by the mid 1990's and since then they have only further consolidated their position. BIM hookups and the very large amount of software that somehow interacts with Autocad or has been written in AutoLisp are the kind of lock-in that newly minted start-ups can only dream of.

Improving on Autocad is going to be very hard, it will take a long time and even then you will probably lose the game. Acquisition is probably your best bet, unseating a dominant player that doesn't make any major mistakes is super hard.

I'm not sure what can be done about it, other than forcing the opening up of all file formats and interoperability information. And lots of that is already open.
I would love if there is something like this for simple e-commerce sites.

I help lot of small businesses with their basic store front with stripe/Braintree connected and some dashboard type apps.

If there’s basic UI ready made components like search page, search results, product description, checkout, that’ll make my life easy and worth spending for. I don’t like bootstrap themes as there’s lot of editing and it’s not easy to just take components into existing projects.

Well done guys!

It doesn't hurt mortgaged landlords much if they don't have to pay the mortgage while rent is stopped.

Non-mortgage landlords might hurt if they depend on the income. But that's not much different from other businesses whose income stream stopped, and the same rescue packages could be applied, e.g. furlough etc.

In the UK, rent was not stopped, but landlords were allowed to stop paying their mortgages. That seems unfair to me.
Yes it is. I've seen it used professionally at more than one company.
At least in the 3DS Max/Maya space Blender is seeming to make more and more headway these days.
China is an authoritarian regime that is as technologically advanced as the US and Western Europe, and they will gladly export freedom restricting technology.
Europe does build its own software. And anything even remotely successful then gets acquired by some US entity.
I've been out of the loop a bit on Status recently; do you know if it's currently utilizing Matrix protocol or if it's on the roadmap? I take their partnership and $5M investment into New Vector in 2018 as an indication of such intentions. Or perhaps they're intending to just bridge Whisper and Matrix.

You have chosen the tool which is not actually owned by you and does not have good substitution from another vendor. No wonder you have exposed yourself to rent-seeking and other things you don't want.

It's not a situation that can be solved by individual, I know. But a profession as a collective should group around open tools.

Are you logged into Google? Not on Firefox itself, just in one of their properties. I have the same setup and don’t get recaptcha either, I think it’s probably because I’m either logged into my personal long-standing gmail or my work g suite account. My guess is if I used the container stuff to isolate Google like I do Facebook then it would start triggering it.

I do get recaptcha all the time in Safari on iOS despite being logged into Google there too, not sure what that’s about.

Autodesk has gone "software as a service". For a long time they sold boxed software. But that market is over. So they went to "software as a service". That can get very expensive for users. That's apparently the real customer complaint.

I don't really know about the architectural tools. I've used Inventor, Fusion 360, and Maya. Autodesk became a leader in 3D animation software because the animation software companies kept going bust. Silicon Graphics bought Alias and Wavefront and came out with Maya. Then SGI got run over when gamer graphics cards became good enough to make SGI workstations obsolete. (Also, a badly timed sale and leaseback deal with Goldman Sachs for the property that is now the Google campus in Mountain View.) When SGI tanked, Autodesk picked up Maya.

Softimage was also picked up. They had a good 3D animation system, and then they came out with an early pro-grade film and video editing program. Avid, which used to sell overpriced furniture with built-in computers as editing stations, bought Softimage to get control of the editing software. They had no idea what to do with the animation software and sold that to Autodesk.

Then there was Lightscape, which had the first good radiosity renderer, but by itself a renderer wasn't a viable product. So Autodesk bought that.

Autodesk managed to get all those pieces to play well together, and now they're all part of Maya. Autodesk ended up owning the Hollywood-grade animation business.

A side effect of owning the animation business was that the architectural tools had really good rendering. Good enough that you could put all the light fixtures where they would go on the real building, and see how the finished building would look when lit. This was a big win when you needed to sell your design to the customer for the building. That's not so exotic today, but it was ahead of its time 20 years ago.

On the engineering side, getting computational solid geometry to work right is hard. There's free software for that. Try threading a rod and then applying a chamfer on the end. It works in Inventor and Fusion. FreeCAD, not so much. This is an area where the distance between "works for the easy cases" and "just works" is considerable. There's a reason that Autodesk employed a "staff geometer", a geometry theorist. Or play with the 2D constraint system in the Fusion 360 sketch module, where you designate A is tangent to B, C is parallel with D, circle E is tangent to the three circles F, G, and H (that required a new solution to the Problem of Apollonius) and watch it make the drawing consistent.

(Disclaimer: I'm an Autodesk stockholder, but haven't been involved with the company for decades.)
Congratulations! I would highly recommend removing that extremely annoying, disruptive and useless "Get Early Access" banner at the bottom of every page on your website (including documentation). GitLab used to have a very similar banner (don't remember exactly what it said). I wrote to them and eventually they have gotten rid of it (I like to think that it was, at least, in part, due to my criticism :-).
I would've liked to see the ">" (element-element selector, .foo > .bar) and explanation of a space (e.g., .foo.bar vs .foo .bar).

These above examples are quite common in real-world CSS, and the nuances in syntax are small, yet they have a big impact on document styling.
What if[1] both sides compromise their morality?

True, it's cutting off hydra heads to replace one big problem (should we all be individualist or all be collectivist?) with many many small ones (is this particular problem better addressed with individualistic solutions or collectivistic solutions?) but I'd say expecting that one big problem to be solved would be inhuman.

[1] this hypothetical is not very. As far as I can see, none of Eastasia, Eurasia, nor even Oceania, hold to a pure individualism or pure collectivism. (Even north korea, while still apparently very collectivist, looks more individualist in fashion and cuisine than in prior years.)
Is this very different from people who tune the design of springs in car door handles so they have a nice click when you open them? That's good engineering, but is it what you'd call tech? Or does it need to be done on a web app to be tech?

activists, the kind of people who organize these boycotts, represent a small slice of the population, but the opinions they are pushing (that facebook has a pretty bad problem with spreading hate speech) definitely has broad support.

I can't read the article (server does not respond) but I believe it is not only about Autocad. I hear people complain about Revit and 3dsMax as well. What I mostly hear is: very expensive, lots of bugs, lags with new features and improvements.

The software gets the job done and is in the industry standards but people are starting to look somewhere else.
There isn't much to fragment to be honest.

From what I have seen, there seems to be little buy-in for Reason in the Ocaml community which is not particularly surprising considering it's supposed to solve a pain point no one in the community actually has (Ocaml syntax is fine - it's obviously more Algol-like than C-like but clearly the existing community doesn't care).

Reason seems to be mostly pushed by Facebook towards Javascript developers. That might work. Then again, esy is nice.
Good point. I do actually have it in a config file, so hard-coded was the wrong word to use.
Why is cosmetic dentistry important?
Cosmetic dentistry is very important. In a cosmetic dentistry, treatments like dental implants, veneers, dental crowns, bridges etc. are provided to the patient. Cosmetic dental treatments help to improve the appearance of your teeth and help to get the kind of smile you always wanted.

Testing didn't make those people sick; It just revealed how many people are actually sick. I only have anecdotes but my understanding is that it can still be hard to get tested in some areas. That implies that tests are being used on people we're pretty sure have it. Increased testing should allow us to test less likely people so the percentage of positive tests should drop with increased testing.

Testing also isn't the only indicator we have but the results of the others lag behind testing. Other useful indicators include the number of hospitalizations for covid patients and excess deaths.
The basic tension here is designers are often not really designing a "style sheet" (even if they think they are). So a lot of elements end up being similar, but not the same. And all responsive states are often 'you figure it out'. Plus marketing involves one-off pages where nobody is thinking about reusability. I haven't used tailwind yet, but the utility-first idea has been around for a long while.
Given how large Lyft is, it's surprising there is no web-based UI for viewing ride history: there's only the app.

That's horrible lag. Try 30ms. I get frustrated whenever the responsiveness is slower than I can hit keyboard shortcuts or click. I even turn off Android animations as they slow me down.

Touch targets should be large enough for users to both discern what it is and to accurately select them... Touch targets should have ample spacing between each other

SpaceX Starlink.

We already have low latency, high bandwidth internet available in big urban areas. Starlink offers a real solution for the rest of the world (rural communities, boats, vacation homes, isolated industrial facilities, etc).

The era of being outside of internet coverage is coming to a close.
I feel like I've been hearing this for over 5 years. I hope it materializes, but to be honest it's hard to not be skeptical, not in the least because a lot of the original values of Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies seem to have been subverted by certain people to serve their own needs (which ... is what usually happens if there are no rules to set boundaries).
The golden rule got demoted to silver? Damn, times are tough all over.
It doesn‘t make Apple bad. It just means they inhibit innovation. The same way that a micro-managing manager that needs to sign-off on everything stops progress, but that doesn‘t make them a bad person.
Your argument of porting everything to the web is absolutely valid. We are a small team though and having to rebuild everything for web meant we had to delay our launch - of course this is on us.
Also some of our features don‘t work in web, since the native camera libraries are much better, but they aren‘t available on the web in sufficient quality (neither for ios nor android). And some camera functionalities are generally only available to safari on ios. It looks to me as if this is on apple, but may be a chrome/firefox issue.

I can recommend the GWU637, with caveats. I spent 3 months in a hotel wrapping up a contract and starting a new job where the hotel wi-fi hated my Mac. Phone - fine. Tablet - fine. Mac? Might as well not have existed. It runs pretty hot and there's no 802.11ac support but often when you need this, that isn't an option anyway. There's an undocumented /menu.asp page that you're almost certainly going to need for anything other than a 192.168.1 network.

Honk – An ActivityPub server with minimal setup and support costs
I don't see how that will be better. WHATWG are basically Google and Apple as it stands. Used to be them plus Mozilla and Microsoft but Firefox is at ~5% market share while MS have forked Chromium. So it won't make any difference whether it is WHATWG or W3C except with the latter the companies can at least claim they're promoting an established standards body, so it's better optics.
I think Nietzsche was a great man and not nearly as judgmental as he conducted himself. But I also believe the classical explanation that he had a problem with his mother and that is the reason why he had such strong expectations towards himself and others.

Nazis abused his writings but he wouldn't have like them of course. His dislike for christian morals is understandable because he saw them as a form of subjugation and contrary to emancipation. I think this grew to an unfortunate amount of hatred later on. He is partially correct as are the morals of Christianity in my opinion.
