The only purpose of an API is providing mechanical access to functionality.
Had the same exact thought and problem. Only that I bought AMD "fake" demo stock in my bank account on that same day just for fun. So know I can see exactly how much I could have made if I only would have bothered to get my real account to work that day..
Maybe someone should have bought out Sun and not let their crown jewels go to the most opportunistic company that's out there?

Could have avoided all of this and as a society we could have moved on an built better things. Only the lawyers won here.

Something for the current FAANG's to consider, buy the company that has goodwill but isn't doing well financially for various reasons.
I would argue that the people (such as myself) who enjoy word-trivia like this are not "keeping the issue alive", because they don't believe there's an issue. If you don't want to use those words, then you are free to (not) do so. I enjoy knowing them, and I'll keep using them on the _extremely_ rare occasion that they're relevant.

It's the people who tell the others that they are wrong (whichever side of the debate they're on) who make it an issue.
Insects do a decent job flying without toooooo much compute, so I don't find it terribly surprising that this can be done on-device.
Of course the customer can say that. And nowhere does Patrick suggest that taking his advice is a condition of continuing a relationship with Stripe. That's not the issue.

The issue is that coordinating pricing is illegal in any form. In any industry, each company could make more money if they knew their competitors would raise prices. Even calling a competitor to tell them that you are raising prices is illegal if they raise prices.

If there's even a single incident of two companies being advised to raise prices on products which compete with each other, it's about as close as it comes to an open and shut price fixing case. And this post makes it easier to prove because it suggests that companies know he's giving the same advice to their competitors. Whether that's said explicitly or not won't matter.
That's a good suggestion—thanks. Maybe 'parent' and 'top', or 'up' and 'top'.
And before I found ResEdit the software package I used came with a tool called "RMaker". You fed it a .r text file with a very terse format for describing the various resources and it generated the resource (.rsrc) file.

I even edited 'icon' resources in .r files ... maybe some kind of array of hex values? Christ, that was tedious.

And then I found ResEdit....

(At least in my foggy memory that is how I remember things.)
These scenarios are so hypothetical that it’s pointless to give an answer. What if the library requires you to pass in values in a custom struct they defined? What if the library requires all sorts of arbitrary nonsense?

The reality is that the conversion cost to just `map` one Vec to another is extremely low on anything but maybe a microcontroller —- and even then, maybe not.

If you benchmark things and can’t find a safe way to do things, there are unsafe methods, but I am highly skeptical that they would be needed.

It’s also extremely possible to fork such a library, change a few lines to use the dimensionally correct type, and be done with the issue.

If all of your heavy lifting is being done by this external library anyways, and that library just uses raw floats... why bother with the ceremony of using a dimensionally safe float in your own code if the performance cost of mapping between types is too high?

The real benefit of dimensional safety is when you’re actually doing computations, not some external library you pulled in.

Rust allows for these zero cost wrapper types that will do exactly the correct computations as if they were done with hand written code... but you have to actually have computations that you want to do. The type system intentionally doesn’t want you to treat these typed floats as regular floats. That’s the point.

But there are ways to transmute certain types for no performance penalty, they’re just footguns you should avoid except as an option of last resort.

Years ago, before "FAANG" was a term, I was flown in for an interview with Amazon in Seattle, a city I like enough to have considered moving there. They put me up in a grimy capital-M Motel by the airport with a cracked sink and a $50 cab ride into town (back when that was expensive).

OTOH they were quite efficient with their response. It was a mutual "no" and they spared me the trouble by getting to me, with useful feedback, within 48 hours.

There is a lot of BS around the hiring process these days, but some parts of it are still in HR's control: namely the "before" and "after" of the actual interview day(s).

If that part is bad, it indicates rot in HR, which will be a problem every single time you interact with them.

I have nothing against Stripe, just commenting on the general case.

What's the real world problem that this solves, and is it actually solving that problem for anyone today or is it hypothetical?
Yet, if you pick the right lines out of the WINE source-code, it will look eerily similar to the Windows source-code. And not by coincidence: if Windows' code had looked different, WINE code would have looked different too. And the important thing is that the Windows code could easily have looked different. It was a creative process that led to what it was. WINE is a derivative work.

Copyright law needs to be clarified to allow this without licence. Just like you're allowed to refer to a competitor's brand if you follow the rules in trademark law. It's one of those things where you think legislation should be rushing to fix it to remove uncertainty.

I'm from Belgrade, trust me it's far more complicated than that. There are Chinese pushing into the whole region who are a perfect fit to the current corrupted dictatorship going on in Serbia, there's CIA pushing weapons to Middle East using Serbian arm dealers, there's Arabs'/offshore money being pumped into the country, there's drug money from Kosovo, there're Russians with whom Serbia has many historical connections, but who don't really care that much about Balkan anymore, there's EU that's been a cockteaser for decades, but not really interested in Balkan integrations (but wants us as a market)... and on all of that you also have Balkan states post-war conflicts and internal political conflicts and corruption in Serbia...

> "Everything is political" is literally the working definition of totalitarianism.

No, its not.

"Everything must be directed by the coercive power of the state" is. The former does not imply the latter (the scope of the coercive power of the state is, itself, a political issue.)
You would need more evidence to determine that. 2016 + 2020 isn't enough -- you'd need to actually show that this is happening, rather than using 2 results to back into your belief.

To clarify, my intention was to state, "outcomes with 6% of odds happening will occur very frequently" - not relatively. A good hitter in baseball hits homers about 6% of the time. If they hit homers in 2 at bats, we would not have enough information to say much about their true talent.
What operating system? On Linux, I had a memory stick that was not completely inserted, and periodically I saw corrected memory errors reported in the logs until I fixed the issue.
I have seen real work drama over this sort of thing, because people misinterpret the 'is-typing' as 'is-paying-attention-to-me'

A way to counter this is by tactfully making your boundaries of availability unabimguously and abundantly clear and intentional where you can. Once you’ve communicated this boundary, enforce it. Defend it with all your might but with discretion for when it may need bending (but not breaching).

No need to carry the burden of guilt or shame because you’re making a deliberate attempt to triage where your attention is going at a given time with so many dings, pings and alerts all yammering for our collective attentions.

Interface Builder already existed in 1995, it was originally released in 1988.
What is communal is the protection provided by the state. When the state has to protect houses, it’s an easy job, very deterministic, and costs are known. But states routinely refuse to protect large sums of money and require that you acquire your own protection. Something which is too costly for the commons or to vague to determine will be excluded from public protection. Protecting ideas is excluded for example, because they spread so fast that it is practically impossible to protect. I’m of the opinion that bytes are too costly/too vague to be protected by the state, and today is a good example since we had to use all courts up to the Supreme Court to rule on what sounds like a frivolous detail to most of the people. Ruling on whether an API is copyrightable is maybe a sign that the state attempts to protect too much and therefore can’t even distinguish between “too much” and “beyond” its scope.
It's not a given at all, even if that's common. As a fresh counter-example, Nvidia released Ampere on TSMC 7nm for the enterprise many months before they released chips of the same architecture for consumer devices on Samsung's cheaper and significantly less dense 8nm node.

Isn't OpenJDK the standard implementation of Java these days? Why would Amazon be using something different?
I think you're spot on here. Whilst I suspect they've a long way to go, it seems likely to mirror the situation Google had with early search growth where the more they had people use it the better it got, quickly feeding a cycle the competitors could not compete with.

The same sort of API copyright that Oracle is trying to establish in this case.

How things actually shake out would depend a lot on the specifics of the Court's ruling, and I am not a lawyer either. But, if the court rules that Oracle owns a copyright to the Java APIs, and that this means they can prevent others from implementing their own versions of those APIs, and this right remains in effect even though they release a full implementation of them under GPLv2, then I can't see any particular reason to expect that things would work differently for Amazon's APIs and Apache2.
They do not have an obligation. However, employees will feel it is unfair if their side is not heard as much as the other side.
I don't think Microsoft has copyright on the whole of the OS/2 source code, just components they developed. I don't know for sure, but I think it is likely that some components, such as SOM or WPS, contain very little or no Microsoft-developed code. New features developed after OS/2 2.x were developed solely by IBM, without Microsoft involvement – Microsoft was only involved in OS/2 1.x (and possibly earlier stages of 2.x development.) There might also be some components which IBM licensed from third parties (non-Microsoft), but they are likely just individual DLLs or drivers, easily separated from the rest of the code.

I think the real problem here is IBM, not Microsoft or any other third-party. There are significant sections of the OS/2 code which are only under IBM's copyright, and there is nothing legally stopping IBM from supplying the source code to those sections, but it doesn't want to. Also, regarding the sections co-owned by Microsoft, I wonder what the story is – did IBM ask Microsoft and get told "No" (or "Yes" but only under non-viable conditions)? Or did IBM never even bother to ask Microsoft about it? I have no idea, but my gut tells me the later may be more likely than the former.
Very tangential, I was a physics major, and learned about Traveling Salesperson when in college at UCSD - I looked it up in the library and there was like, an entire hallway of books/research on this problem and it blew my mind. It really put into perspective how much work had gone into that single problem. I think the shelf was larger than the solar physics papers on file in a nearby area.
Without going in to your level of economics nuance (close to unreadable for lay person), housing is absolutely elastic in that purchasing power plays a huge role. It is somewhat differentiated due to neighborhood amenities and other factors, but within those a house/condo are a commodity.

The bigger issue is that you have land use lock-in due to the tax advantage and zoning.

In simple terms, if you take 0.5 acre lot in Los Altos within close commute to Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon. If taxes were market rate, then a lot more inventory would be available because these “assets” would be too expensive to just keep.

If zoning was not a factor, then the lot prices would be even higher due to being able to cram in more shared use spaces (condos) into it.

Of course, all these have extreme negative externalities (impacts) on those living around these lots and those living on them. That’s why we need some protections and middle ground between these as a society.
Yes, but this time it's "free competing with free", or almost-free (or paid for by your personal data, which sadly for most people is equivalent to free).
Nothing wrong with a company not wanting lost productivity due to non work-related activity.

It seems reasonable to have a rule that says "don't get into arguments or spend significant work time on non work-related topics"

If people are violating that standard predominantly with political topics, then make the rule explicit and specific.

People should be professional enough to do this on their own, but many aren't, and an explicit rule makes sure you don't have a constant parade of disruptions and firing employees because they're not doing their work or stopping others from doing theirs.

An example of applying such a concept: vaccinating healthcare workers ahead of otherwise isolated people.

I presume many healthcare workers see orders of magnitude more people per day than average and those people are more likely to be sick (else why are they getting healthcare?) .
It’s mind blowing to me that Google was too cheap to buy a license or buy Sun considering the strategic importance of the platform.
Oracle has done that, too. They release the full JDK under the GPL.

The law around these sorts of things can get pretty hair-splitty. My guess is that the situation here is that Amazon client libraries and OpenJDK are distributed with a license to create derivative works that are based on their respective products, but that these licenses do not necessarily grant a license to create a new thing that works the same out of whole cloth. Should Oracle win the case, that would seem to imply that the Court believes they do not. Alternatively, the fact that open source licenses do not appear to have even been brought up in the course of these hearings would perhaps imply that the existence of open source libraries that implement these APIs is legally irrelevant.

> The first non-news graphic on Five Thirty Eight is literally a bunch of balls, colored red and blue.

No, it is literally a set of maps of different outcomes of simulations representing (in a reduced way, because there's only room for 22 maps, at least on desktop; I think they have fewer on mobile) the range and frequency of simulation results.

The balls come after that.
Wouldn't it make sense to give referrals some kind of VIP treatment, just to keep a pipeline of referrals open from any employees who are happy with their jobs?

I can't understand why a company wouldn't do that, even if they were overwhelmed with the challenge of hiring in general. The win is potentially exponential, if you get good people who come to work with people they already know how to work with.
> As applied to Java, individual method signatures like min and max might not be copyrightable, but someone had to go in and organize those individual methods into classes, and organize those classes into packages. That act of organization likely implies that the Java API (taken as a whole) constitutes a copyrightable work, even if the individual method signatures are not.

The problem with this theory is that class and package declarations are still just recipes. There is a recipe for making chocolate chips. Then there is a recipe for making chocolate chip cookies where one of the ingredients is chocolate chips. It's recursive but it's not fundamentally different. Saying you can copyright a recipe for chocolate chip cookies because it's just organizing the recipes for chocolate chips and butter and brown sugar is pretty ridiculous.

That's what I said. However, that is not how the original case was presented and has affected the course. The API "describes something" has been convoluted with the API itself.
