So how do you tell the difference between the files having been licensed individually or only the whole compilation having been licensed?

Here is some of the license text:

That seems to me to indicate that it applies to the whole software package and not any single file (unless you could call that single file a "software" in its own right, maybe?)

Meanwhile, the text in each individual file only says this:

I agree, a 12 day fast is dangerous and unnecessary. I was experimenting and would never do it again. Anything longer than a 3 day fast (72 hours) is not necessary.
Recycling plastic is difficult because despite being labeled as PE, PET, PP, PS, ... most plastics [0] are customized by additives that change the material properties (in the simplest case the color)[1]. Recently I saw an imprint on the tub of a washing machine that read "PP-K40". Searching for it revealed that this is polypropylene (not surprising) but 40% of the mass of the material is added calcium carbonate filler (very unexpected)!

They've been trying and failing since the 1980's.

It's a lie from the plastics industry. If they increase their costs in order to cover recycling, plastic is no longer viable as a solution for many things it's used for. We're talking about a huge industry, one which is very closely connected to another one resisting change successfully for over half a century: fossil fuels.

You're entirely correct.

Just now I remembered that back in my squandered youth I used to consider code to be a form of creative expression. Code is not my only creative outlet, but it remains an important one. I should not be using OSS at all. I don't even code for the user if I am ever honest about it: I code for the thing itself. Somehow, it seems, I got caught in a dominant paradigm and lost a sense of my own self and values regarding my creative work.
Don't let plastic recycling get you down, recycling aluminum is a great way to help the environment. Paper and cardboard are also good. Glass is just ok. Reduce your consumption where possible, and make sure that non-recycleable materials make it to a landfill where the environmental impacts are contained. Our individual efforts have a small impact, but it's a small effort and it does matter.

While there are some uses for recycled plastics, I fear that we'll likely continue to see a lot of single-use plastics until some economic force makes plastic unprofitable. Maybe public anger drives new regulation, maybe we use up all the oil, maybe we ween off of oil and it's too expensive to pump oil just to make plastics. In any case, I think we need to embrace some short and medium term solutions to mitigate environmental damage from single-use plastic.

In the end, donations are a form of political power, If only deciding what gets funded, and what doesn't, even before all the other self promotion stuff surrounding them.

Whats a better model for deciding the distribution of political power, a democratic one, or a dictatorial one?

At the very least I don't think its an unreasonable position to believe that democracy makes more sense.

There's certainly a paradox in the ideal of being secretive with your donations and thereby not being able to make an example that others could follow, or being vain in beating your drum but setting an example for charity.

For myself, I have always wanted to appear to be doing my best in hiding my charitable donations while inadvertently getting discovered for my generosity, killing two birds with one stone. Unfortunately, I don't nearly have the wealth to pull this off.

I have never been offered a contract when hired anywhere in the US -- well except for the Army. An offer letter is not a contract, often it says so in the offer letter near where it says you are an at-will employee that they can fire for any reason at any time.

I disagree. These are problems everything experiences. Having immediate feedback to a potential solution helps immensely in determining its effectiveness. As instrumentation and analytical methods improve it is entirely reasonable to expect people to create their own treatments that are effective.

Right now most of the necessary equipment is siloed in research institutions and hospitals.

It seems medical quackery gets a disproportionate platform, I think in an attempt to educate people about how dangerous it can be. But go look online or even in a brick and mortar store: there's plenty of stuff designed to take your money that won't improve your life.

The most 'deceptive' aspect of marketing is not even remotely 'product information'.

The paper is so out of touch with the reality of marketing to even suppose that.

Very little marketing is done on the basis of information, it's emotional, life style aspiration.

Or does the 'Big Spend' go on Kapaernick's lofty quasi-political statements?

Literally turn on your TV and watch 10 commercials and listen carefully and look at the imagery: "This truck is rugged, tough, reliable, I can haul a bigger load than anyone else on the road, look how impressive I am to the other guys on the site" - this is an example 'utilitarian aspiration' i.e. when they sell utility as an aspiration because said utility is not very necessary.

Mystery in the Masterpiece: Raphael and the case of the missing inkpot

[...]

Far from being a careless omission, the missing inkpot is a metaphor for the mystery of the creative process, whereby the artist extracts the image, stroke by masterful stroke, from beyond the veil of imagination. When the viewer has become so absorbed in the reality of the painting that the missing inkpot stands out, it is as if Raphael silently announces his own creative divinity.

You're absolutely right, I stand corrected.

But the author's complaint is still legitimate: in the context of billions of consumer devices, the diversity of behaviors is a problem.

And relatively few consumers ever wired their own networks, whereas virtually everyone has to deal with USB-C-equipped devices.

It's unfortunate. I benefit greatly from having audio playing along while I read complex nonfiction.

The only way I know of to get audio recordings of a textbook (other than brain-melting text-to-speech) is to....record it yourself.

Unfortunately, after recording audiobooks of a couple of 900-page textbooks I lost my enthusiasm.

It would be great if there was a community of people doing this, and we could share the burden.

I can't imagine it hurting the publisher's bottom-line, as the audio of a textbook is pretty useless without the diagrams and tables and such, so you need the book anyway.

If textbooks came with decent audio editions, outline notes, and Anki decks linked to page numbers it would be awesome.

I could see it coming from a publisher like NoStarch, but Elsevier, no way that's happening.

It would be a good deal for the publishers too, since students don't seem to really buy/read the books anymore as they've ballooned up to hundreds of dollars and thousands of pages of crap to slog through. I'd love to see a textbook that's actually designed for the 21st century in some way other than adding a DRM-wrapped digital edition with a couple extra videos and figures!

>Instead if everyone recycles, then we begin the process of keeping the problem from growing even larger than it already is.

Or you give people an excuse to consume more because now they can feel good about their consumption. Recycling does not solve any problems, as the revelations of the past decade have shown. Reducing consumption is the only solution, and recycling was the excuse sold to the public to keep the consumption music going.
I believe the government's role is to provide protection from foreign threats, guarantee basic human rights, reasonably regulate the business environment, and provide basic public services that are only possible on a society-level basis. When they get into areas that local communities and private charities operate, they'll at best be inefficient and more than likely be corrupt at some level.
I don't think so.

First, the forest covering of the Amazon didn't change that much on the last few years. Don't let international press fool you, the forest isn't "all burning down". It's burning down a lot, but not that much.

But more importantly, the rain on that region is mostly from oceanic and local humidity (São Paulo is in a forest area, with plenty of rivers).

It rains less there in La Niña years. I don't know how abnormal the situation really is. But the heat is way more unusual than low humidity.
It helps that Java is exclusively a compiled programming language, so these are just syntactic sugar concerns for the parser/lexer and the compiled bytecode ends up looking identical to having just used one long string with inline \n.

So given that, I don't think it really ends up being that sophisticated. I think this could be a decent easy programming question for a technical interview though!
I really do like this project, but have concerns if it were to scale out to regular use:

1) I don't want my medication habits online at all, even if it intended to help me. I'd be more open to a way to run this locally. I expect assisted living centers would, as well.

2) This puts technical points of failure into a process that is already reasonably solved by daily pill containers.

We know that it actively harms cell division and brain development...

But long term studies of babies/adolescents' drinking problems haven't been studied (disregarding that it's impossible due to ethics)...

And you still want to argue that it should be okay to give babies alcohol?

Again, think about it for a sec. OFC scientifically there are no compelling studies on the lifetime of alcohol abuse. Empirically hard to do!

That does not rule out that it's bad - and our point here is giving alcohol to babies - well, knowing the evidence, babies shouldn't drink!

> No, the best response, if the devs truly felt the criticism was non constructive, was to ignore it.

We don't know how exactly Christine communicated with project devs. We see the posts, but we don't see Telegram or Discord messages or GitHub issues or comments or whatever.

For example, there are people who just derail/flood group communications by raising non-important issues (like discussing syntax), or discussing completely unrelevant topics (like starting a conversation about political situations, human rights etc).

Anyway, I agree that the project author could do better. But I cannot blame him either. At least until either party provide some evidence.

> Having read the posts, it seems perfectly reasonable criticism, with enactable improvement

Calling a product vaporware is not a good way to start a constructive communication.

If I did that, I'd either start with apologising for calling the project vaporware, or did not attempt to join the community.

> To put it another way: if this was a commercial product and my team came whining to me about this, I'd tell them to grow up.

Developers in commercial products are paid for listening that feedback (constructive or not). But V is open source.

And in commercial companies, internal tensions are usually fixed very quickly, because teams cannot work efficiently when communication is bad.
A lot of people care about their legacy.
So I understand the rationale for writing your own storage layer and think this is an awesome project, but there's something missing for me. One of the issues Peter brings up is they've come across a number of serious bugs in RocksDB. My question is, why would Pebble have less bugs. In fact, I would expect it to have significantly more bugs because Coackroach is the only company using Pebble.

They mention briefly how they are going about randomized crash testing:

> The random series of operations also includes a “restart” operation. When a “restart” operation is encountered, any data that has been written to the OS but not “synced” is discarded. Achieving this discard behavior was relatively straightforward because all filesystem operations in Pebble are performed through a filesystem interface. We merely had to add a new implementation of this interface which buffered unsynced data and discarded this buffered data when a “restart” occurred.

but this seems to only scratch the surface of possibilities that can come up with a crash. For example, it's possible the filesystem had synced some of the buffered data to disk, but not all of it. There's no guarantee about what buffered data was synced to disk. All you know is that some, all, or none of it made it to disk.

Bugs in this area are still regularly found in e.g. Postgres, so I'm having a hard time seeing how Coackroach is making sure Pebble doesn't have similar problems.
