I want to use smile but their license is prohibiting the use of it at my company. I understand the project authors' intentions to promote contributions to the project, but the requirements to get commercial license is a deal breaker for many.
It is not the same thing at all. The US copyright is very different from the French droit d'auteur. The Berne convention merely fixes some common ground and minimum protection. For instance copyright can be fully transferred. The droit d'auteur is partly impossible to transfer (moral rights always remain to the author).

Copyright has a precise definition and is opposed to the droit d'auteur in its philosophy, so saying that France has copyright is a little bit like saying France has a king, sure it plays a somewhat similar role but is is fundamentally different

I find this hard to believe. There are plenty of companies out there providing some kind of product built on top of another (e.g. a language), without registering the name of said product as a trademark of their own.

To me it sounds more like you didn't get the things you wanted, and instead decided to try and take them by force.

Why not? If Apple buys Peloton, they also get all their staff and offices. The existing staff can continue working on their existing products just as before, while transitioning to Apple, no?

I don't believe the technology in waste management can exist in a reasonable timeframe to be able to address the damage done by consumption. Namely, one of the biggest problems in waste management, carbon emissions from fossil fuels, simply has no solution other than reducing consumption of fossil fuels.

And consumption of everything increases consumption of fossil fuels since basically everything requires energy to move mass from one place to another.

Sealed classes don't have to have anything in common. Sealed classes are an example of a discriminated union. A contrived example is you might have a function that takes or returns circles or ducks but _nothing else_. Not triangles, not pigs. It has to be a circle or it has to quack.

Where are these used? Well, they are used in a sense all over the Java language already in the form of methods with checked exceptions, which say in their contract that they return either a successful result or any of the declared errors but nothing else.
I don't see any indication that they took this step lightly. Chesterton's Fence teaches that, if you don't know why it's there, don't remove it. It doesn't mean to never remove the fence. If you understand what purpose it served, and the reason to remove it is more important than the reason it was there, then removing it is the right thing to do.

Lisp Programmers: "You guys are still trying to figure out parsing?"

On a more serious note, the grammar ambiguity mentioned in the article is one of the things that has drawn me to languages that use s-expressions. Lisp are just as varied in their semantics as any other set of languages. What sets them apart is in their shared syntactic core of prefix notation in combination with parenthesis to create s-expressions. This eliminates the vast majority (though not all) ambiguities concerning precedence and associativity.

According to a 2017 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office [1] "of the 85 violent extremist incidents that resulted in death since September 12, 2001, right-wing violent extremist groups were responsible for 62 (73 percent) while radical Islamist violent extremists were responsible for 23 (27 percent). The total number of fatalities is about the same for far right-wing violent extremists and radical Islamist violent extremists over the approximately 15-year period (106 and 119, respectively). However, 41 percent of the deaths attributable to radical Islamist violent extremists occurred in a single event—an attack on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida in 2016."

In 2018, most ideologically motivated murders in the United States of America were linked to right-wing extremism [2].

As of 2020, right-wing terrorism accounted for the majority of terrorist attacks and plots in the US[3] and has killed more people in the continental United States since the September 11 attacks than Islamic terrorism [4].

>AMD has had pretty much always a solid mid-tier offering in the last five years, but people would still rather buy an nVidia card (like, say, a 1050) instead of the better AMD (at the price point) because of the "1080 Ti" halo effect.

It just occurred to me that GPT-3 could become an existential threat to Google.

If the SERPs are filled with garbage, their search algorithm loses competitive edge. We may need to go back to a reputation graph-based system. That sort of thing doesn't scale, and Google isn't doing this at all.

In fact, all of the platforms may suffer. How will Facebook keep out GPT-3 spam?
To be honest, if were just starting out with those two instruments, I personally just focus on those two instruments and try to get to where I can do complete performances on them.

Problem number one is expecting people to put forth the time and effort into sorting all of their recyclables. The whole situation is so complicated and rules so difficult to enforce, I don't see how it can be considered a feasible solution.

Society is the only thing enforcing the private property laws that allow you to amass stuff in the first place. If society wasn't involved there would be nothing to stop anyone simply taking your stuff. Society enforces such rules because they are conducive to a good society for everyone. It has every right to stop enforcing them at the point at which that ceases to be the case.

> That or we stop pretending we live in a free society.

This is exactly what we should do. There is no such thing as complete freedom. All freedoms come at the price of restricting some other freedom.

I love Gymaholic, but I don't understand how the AR is useful at all. How is it better for me to watch a 3D model do an exercise with my couch as the background, rather than just a black background? Is it the ability to walk around the 3D model? It's much easier just to spin the model with my thumb.

That is how I feel about most AR is in general. It just filters out the app background and makes whatever your camera is pointing at the background.. without really adding any value.

I'm sure AR will have some absolutely amazing applications in the future. I just haven't seen much of it yet.

Inspired by a Sonic the Hedgehog level.
Those sorts of comparisons are always a three way tug of war between the letter of the law (what you can do on paper), enforcement (what you can do in reality) and taxes (the cut the .gov takes).

Depending on how much you value each one depends on the answer you get.
For a long time I dreamed of being wealthy. But a few experiences being a small-time investor have convinced me that being wealthy (and trying to be wealthy) is a lot of work, and it's work I don't particularly enjoy (too much paperwork).

I'd much rather work as an individual contributor and earn an upper middle class salary for my entire career, with enough to retire comfortably. Growing up I always heard stories about how happiness is not correlated with income above a certain (commonly achievable) level, and I can now corroborate those stories!

You don't have to be rich to give. You can not make the money in the first place, and instead make the world a better place by tending to your own happiness and doing something you enjoy. And if you are lucky like Chuck you can give it away. Or if you are lucky like Jonas Salk you can dedicate your talents to good causes.

Congratulations to Chuck for being happy.

It's not hard because the changes are small and gradual, and you have to update your JDK every quarter anyway -- whether you use the current version or an old one -- just to get the security patches. It's just a matter of how that work is spread. It's likely that updating once every 3 years is more work overall. Plus, you've done that already back when there were still major releases, and the semi-annual feature releases didn't get a new integer number (8u20, 8u40 etc. were big feature releases).

Plus, keep in mind that LTS is a paid service. What appears to be "free LTS" isn't really LTS, but builds of the OpenJDK Updates projects. Those builds serve as the basis for various paid LTS offerings, but in themselves they don't actually maintain the full JDK. OpenJDK Updates just backports stuff from the mainline version. If you're using a component that's been removed from the mainline -- and you probably do or else you'd upgrade -- then that component is not maintained in OpenJDK Updates (so-called "free LTS") because there's nothing to backport from.

The only version that's 100% maintained for free is the current JDK (15 as of today).

Was there a potato monoculture? I just ask because, I thought crop monoculture was a relatively modern thing, and because a new disease (like p. blight) are usually pretty broad spectrum, and very capable of skipping between species.

Bananas are kind of a weird case for multicropping, because they are all sterile clones. So this makes them horribly susceptible to every disease under the sun.
The TLDR is that the GC did cause problems so we had to avoid it for the block cache. Luckily we were able to do so without exposing the complexity in the API. Not for the faint of heart. Don't try this at home kids.

Substance has a style all its own.

You can make GPT-3 affect any writing style. But you can't make it actually have something to say. That feeling - of reading something that's wasting my time, because it doesn't actually have anything to say - is not going to go away just because what I'm reading says "dang" every so often.
On the other hand, it's easy to "cook the books" by classifying expenses as essential in your own mind. Or rather, most people (especially the sorts of relatively affluent people who could realistically give 10% of their income to charity) don't really budget that concretely. They just sort of have a lump of money left after paying basic expenses and then spend it on whatever strikes their fancy.

Making a commitment up front to donate 10% just creates a situation in which its not any sort of conscious decision to give $X to charity. You just operate as if your taxes were 10% higher or your income is 10% lower and go from there.

Hey HN, I wrote this article based on advice I've given over and over about how to design ORM database models.

>With RJ45, as long as the cable wasn't defective, it generally wouldn't fail completely.

That's just not true, and I don't mean this to be demeaning but you clearly haven't had to install new hardware into an old datacenter. I can't tell you how many times I've run into situations where a 1Gbe port would auto-negotiate to 10Mbps half-duplex. Did it technically not fail? I guess... but the line was so lossy you couldn't get a ping to complete much less an actual session of any sort.
Cost of living adjustments are nothing new, so I'm not sure why people seem surprised by them. If a person moves somewhere with lower taxes or housing costs, they'll easily come out even after a 10-15% pay cut. Also it sounds like only salary is affected, so it's an even smaller percentage of total comp.
What other than contracts would they be?

Direct bans for things so heavily used are going to have extreme unintended consequences.

It's not clear that's a win for the environment.
it's really hard to imagine someone at age 89, with 2 social security incomes and $2M, who is apparently more frugal than most technology workers, being one "wrong accident" away from "the far side of the line easily enough".

an 80% loss of that $2M cash leaves him with a paltry $400K which, assuming a rate of return == inflation, is 10 years of $40K/yr spending, to say nothing of 2x SS income.

people's idea of "being broke" is just ridiculous.
