And that part of the story is pretty fair. RMS held non-mainstream /academic/ views on sexual morality. It's like dropping someone from the 2020s, accepting of LGBTQ, into Victorian England. Or a 2020 Saudi Muslim in San Francisco in the sixties. Or vice-versa. Or worse yet, and ancient Roman/Spartan in 2020. Imagine they adapt their behavior, but continue commenting on how the place they're in is bizarre.

In some ways, that made him less effective as a free software advocate, as did many of his other more controversial views on just about every topic. In others, that made him more honest.

That's not what's being reported, though.
>All I'm saying is QAnon, if it's not a dumb LARP by some teenager, at least doesn't set police cruisers on fire and doesn't kill people for wearing a hat it doesn't like.

Bruh what? Qanon has incited a lot of violence. Getting someone to commit acts of violence on your behalf is worse than specific acts of violence by people that choose to do so without provocation. [0].

Anyways, comparing qanon, an anonymous conspiratorial propagandist to BLM:

>decentralized political and social movement advocating for non-violent civil disobedience in protest against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against black people. [1]

...or antifa, [2]:

>an anti-fascist action and left-wing political movement in the United States comprising an array of autonomous groups and individuals that aim to achieve their objectives through the use of both nonviolent and violent direct action rather than through policy reform.

...which are basically spontaneously formed groups of people supporting specific political causes...

indicates that you do not understand the complexity of events since qanons appearance. yet you speak confidently as if you did and go on to condemn countless millions that support antifa or blm for their tenuous proximal association to anarchists or looters. Such irrational comparisons indicate an emotional response to whatever you perceive antifa and blm to represent.

Antifa and blm protests make specific demands at their demonstrations. Time and time again we see their demonstrations disrupted by radicalized agent provocateurs, opportunists, anarchists and others. Please disambiguate yourself when speaking about millions of people. It's easy to say an opportunistic person looting target is blm. Just as easy as it is to say anyone defending qanon, or intimidating voters by playing soldier at polling places is a proud boy/Aryan brother/whatever racist right wing group is in the news for a hate crime that day.

Proud boys, kkk, Aryan Brotherhood and countless others are violent terrorist organizations that have initial ceremonies, membership lists, and responsibilities. Antifa and blm do not. Trump can't even condemn white supremacists in the most generic of terms. On top of that he's frequently referenced q conspiracies lending whatever credibility you attribute to trump to qanon.

The link between trump, qanon, and racist terrorist organizations is stronger than any links between the countless millions of people who fly antifa or blm signs.

Tangentially at best, The Truman Show is great but there is complete theory of mind between all characters; there is just a big conspiracy.

A real breakdown of theory of mind would mean that there is a breakdown in common understanding. Like with an animal, you don't have complete theory of mind with an animal, and it certainly does not with you -- there is an inability to account for the reasoning of a dog.

have you ever successfully soldered BGAs or other tiny connectors with heat resistant gloves?

I'm not as skilled, as I've mentioned. For me the software screen cast solutions are way more practical.
I agree with your sentiment, but this actually highlights just how necessary it is to not solely trust the large players with our personal memories; by relying on a single, walled garden to play host for our memories, we're increasing our dependence on the larger players. Data privacy concerns aside, what happens if they decide to change the terms of service in a way thats unappealing, or the product itself? Or even lock us out of their service?

Far better IMO to not rely on a single provider, especially in the case of backups.
Agreed, but you can do something about it right here, right now. What book would you recommend for people teenagers or adult, to learn about personal finance? and how to manage a budget for instance.
I think it depends on the use case. The power of docker is that you don't need virtual machines with set memory reservations, so configuring applications to grow and shrink memory from a shared pool is a lot easier. Not requiring an extra kernel is also a positive because every kernel needs to do some busy work to maintain itself, no matter how little it is, so spawning a large amount of micro VMs will bring more overhead than spawning a large amount of docker containers. On the other hand, virtual machines are obviously a lot better for security.

The performance overhead is probably not the biggest reason why you'd stick with Docker, though. The real kicker is that most existing services already run Docker containers and there are loads of resources out there to get you started. Firecracker is relatively new and unsupported. There's no technical reason why Firecracker is a better use case for an RPi, but I think people running RPi servers are on average less experienced and will likely benefit from the Docker knowledge base out there compared to, say, people renting a VPS somewhere, or people building full server machines.
I find this extremely odd, given how the sysadmins of gitlab have a reputation of being among the best.
i think you may be confusing the ideas "aware of" and "being studied".

I'm with most people here: YTMusic sucks.

One of the issues I'm having is that there are far more songs from artists showing up on compilation albums ("Hits of the 90s!"), as well as crappy cover tunes. I want the original song from the original album, thanks. I've also had a couple mislabeled songs, like the other day a track by the Hollies was actually a Beatles tune when I played it. Not a cover, a different song altogether. What the hell?
> Also, 20 seconds is way too long to listen to a song that you know you're not going to like from the first couple of seconds.

I second this, I had actually managed to create a ranking but wasn't able to submit due to the 20s minimum.
Yes, Elon time scales can be shifting. But this was only one of several examples of where the technology is changing, especially making car production cheaper. By the time the credits run out, car production will be cheaper. The FSD claims of Elon certainly are the ones, which have shifted most and basically autonomous driving is still an unsolved problem. The planned production enhancements are far more straight-forward, so one can expect them to come to pass.

And even with FSD: if you look at the new beta release released two days ago, it is an amazing improvement, check out the first user reviews.

I once used TrueCrypt for an external HDD and I regretted it. After some years the disk failed, and I had no chance to recover its content as touching a few bits meant the inability to decrypt it or recover a part of it. It had some of my most valuable memories and unfortunately, I had no backup.

Now, I prefer a solution which preserves the directory structure like EncFS and I make sure to backup.

This needs to be said more and more with each passing year. I became aware of this phenomenon back in the early 2000s, with Facebook gaining popularity among my friends, and blogs were gradually losing steam -- people aren't creating anymore, but simply consuming media, and therein lies the problem: how can you express independent thought when your media consumption habits dictate your beliefs?

If you can't play office politics then you can't get the leverage and context you need with which to improve the product. Office politics is table stakes for a manager. Why? Because a company is thousands of people and dozens of divisions which each have different goals. Office politics is how you make sure that what you want fits in with what everyone else wants. Blindly trying to improve the product without taking the rest of the company into account is a recipe for disaster.

edit: The worst companies are the ones who claim they don't have office politics (ie: we're a flat meritocracy) but instead simply make it hidden and much harder to understand.
I didn't know about Iverson's DD, thanks for this historical perspective.

I always wondered why APL derivatives favoured imperative-style control flow operators, though. And now, it would seem that J is migrating towards an even more functional style with the F. primitive family. Wouldn't tail recursion be a useful addition to the language at this point? Or would it complicate the implementation too much?

I'd be interested in your opinion about that.

From my perspective it kind of seems like YouTube-dl is like a knife, it can cut your food, but it can also be used to kill someone. In the case of YouTube-dl the knife was included with instructions on how to kill someone, so it was deemed a potential "murder weapon".

What if someone sold a car and included instructions on how to run over pedestrians? Should the car no longer be sold, or should the instructions be removed?

My point here is that banning all of something based on the fact that the something could be used to commit illegal acts, when that same something also has legitimate legal uses, is a slippery slope. These days the RIAA pretty much lives on that slippery slope.
1) Discoverability is not a problem. You don't need to discover anything, you just need to download the same repo again. If you forgot the name you're probably a super casual user (and not a dev)

If they did, it'd be still complicated. A real example, a modder makes some content for an old abandoned game. He needs some voice over, so he contacts the original voice actors, but they deny to do that job on the grounds of being a member of org like this[1] which strictly prohibits to take side jobs.

And to make it even more complicated, consider tools like for making deep fakes; if somebody makes a neural network that emulates the original voice, should it be sub-licensed or copyrighted? Can a voice be copyrighted?

I don't believe IIT is the right approach to consciousness, I rather prefer the RL approach. IIT feels like trying to fit the problem into a ready made concept, and doesn't start from where it should - why should there be consciousness in the first place? for survival (my answer). RL with its agent centric setting is much more suited to answer such questions. Agents with goals, embedded into the environment are a better starting point than integrated information that exists who knows why.
Honestly I don’t think they’re too strict here. If you don’t have a criminal record I’d say just be pleasant and she’ll be fine. Hope it goes well though!

Financial education could begin at the grade school level and be rolled into math class as a practical application of concepts being taught. That could continue well into algebra 1 & 2. At a high school level you could address more complex aspects of finance as part of history and social sciences.

Isn't trying to explain poverty by referring to two of your friends a massive overprojection?

There are indeed times when a problem could be solved on the higher level by managing resources better, if you actually have the hinterland. Yet not all problems are about the superstructure you built on physical realities, and sometimes you simply don't have enough money no matter how you budget, or not enough smart people no matter how you place them in an org. chart.

Casting every problem down to a problem of management & choice seems to me a lazy excuse to escape the reality.
Everything is addictive, what matters is when the addiction subverts your intrinsic goals.I think what people need to be spared is some moralism about what your intrinsic goals "should" be.

> or even eating into them

I can confirm :/

Worked at a startup as an employee, made a significant financial loss, living on savings and eventually credit, because cost of living was higher than income. Eventually had to stop.

This happened gradually as I just couldn't keep up the work. Employer was annoyed with me for not doing more work. I kept telling them I had to do other work because their pay didn't cover my essential bills. They kept telling me if only I would finish X, Y and Z we'd have more money coming in.

I took a risky bet and lost - as an employee. I don't resent it, they really couldn't pay more. But it was definitely a gamble.

That financial cost still has lingering effects years later.

Don't assume employee #1 or #2 is not taking on a risk.

I'd still like to work at a startup! But I'll automatically turn down offers with low pay now, as well as offers of "no pay at the moment until we get investment" which I had some of this summer.
Thanks for the comment, let me try to answer :)

>if the dev leaves?
Their code should be in a viewable repo and it should maybe even be documented. If it's not, no sweat, because I've seen lots of undocumented code in my life from bigger teams. Continue using the service until someone becomes an expert in it or the business problem is solved again. But, ideally you would have a few devs as experts on a few different services. It doesn't need to be 1:1.

>Service goes down while dev on vacation
I'm thinking a production service should aim to have 2 devs and 2 ops supporting it. They could each be responsible for 2-3 major services and 2-3 minor or experimental services.

>Single point of failure
Let's say you have a service that, if you give it a user id, returns only the history of that users orders. It doesn't fulfill orders or give delivery statuses or help initiate a customer support conversation. It is conceivable that if this service goes down in production, there may not be a way to get order history from anywhere else quickly. The information definitely exists in another db in another service somewhere, because that's the db where the order history service gets its information in a read only status. But it's not all neatly organized and available over HTTP. What do you do? You make the order history team own their SLA, otherwise their SLA will own them. In microservices world, you can't blame other people if you go down. You just have to do everything you can to keep your service running, by configuring AWS yourself and being on call yourself.
> That's simply whataboutism, not an argument. The rms issue is the rms issue. I would be delighted if you worked on some of the other injustices in the world as well.

My experience with people going after corruption (n>3):

No one is perfect. Everyone breaks some laws, does something taboo, holds some controversial view, or does something improper. If you're going after power structures, they'll take that and pull on it to destroy you unless you back down.

This was done to an extreme in Communist regimes. For the most part, people didn't go to prison for criticizing the government. People who criticized the government went to prison for some other, complete inane but technically correct reason.

For a public examples, See Hunter Biden. Compare to Donald Trump. Yes, there appears to be corruption with Hunter. No, it's not out-of-mainstream for DC. Yes, it's greater than Trump's family. Only Biden has the resources to defend himself -- half the country is supporting him. Unless you're a presidential candidate, something like that WILL take you down.

Allowing that to work really benefits the power structures who can do PR and hire investigators. And it really harms anyone out of the mainstream or with unpopular views, where a simple cancel culture can kill your career.

This is how it works in reality. People take over parts of your company and do everything to make employees feel bad about the company. They then do everything to make your employees feel good about something/anything else to keep them distracted.

You start seeing really strange things like a severly overweight coworker suddenly having a trophy gf who starts talking poorly about everyone. People suddenly start becoming lazy out of nowhere because someone outside of the company has made them believe they are guaranteed millionaires when they haven't even IPO'd. People who used to be focused on their jobs suddenly start slending money wildly on ridiculous garbage.

While everyone is distracted in different ways people who had nothing to do with the success of the company silently takeover key parts of the company and start firing people that figure out what is happening.
Pardon me, what I mean is the company trades on the Crypto market on behalf of us. If they make a profit, we make a profit, if not, we also don't. They execute more than 1000 small trades per day, some of which, of course, are losses. However, they aim to end the day on a positive. Since Apr 2019, we've had one small negative day :) This is how we make our money work for us.
