The comment you're responding to lists very concrete issues. Try accepting constructive criticism instead of accusing people of entitlement just because they dare to disagree with you.

Entitled developers who think their work is above criticism just because it's open source are just as annoying as entitled users who think they are owed something.
totally agree, this is my notion homepage and it's reduced A TON of stress:

An issue. But isn't that forking fundamental to the principle of Open Source? The market will choose what it wants, like some Genetic Algorithm where the fittest thrives and the rest go extinct. Else how does a project evolve at all?

Do all individual contributions have employer data? I was always under the impression employer data isn't collected unless the donation is over a certain amount.
I think anything that tries to optimize a single metric just leads to silly conclusions. Like if we minimize pain including potential future pain killing everyone can be 'scored' as 'moral' since it cuts off all future pain.
There's well-established rules for what a driver is required to do, and they clearly apply to machines that replace drivers. In general, liability for failure to follow traffic laws and for manufacturers defects are strict liability, so how easy it is to understand the error doesn't really have much room to play a factor in assigning liability, nor is it normally a legal component of assessment of damages once liability were assigned.

If we were talking about liability in a negligence/recklessness regime, “hard to understand innocent errors => more liability awards” is a reasonable model, but in a strict liability regime, that an error is innocent (which being easy to understand makes more likely that a trier of fact, perhaps especially a jury, will find) isn't a mitigation.

One solution I see suggested often is shut down 24hour subway service in NYC. Use that time to do (thorough) cleaning, maintenance, etc. I doubt that would put NYC's subway near the level of Tokyo's or other cities with actual great transit, but it would help a lot.

Whenever this gets suggested, there is a loud outcry from people that say they would gladly put up with the filth, unreliability, and occasional assault/rape/murder if it meant 24hour service. Usually arguments put forth is that there are always people (including lower income night shift workers) that must have the subway at wee hours of the night/morning. I'm pretty sure Seoul and Tokyo also have night shift workers and they manage to do just fine using buses or other alternate transportation. If anything Seoul and Tokyo have an even more notoriously hardcore "city never sleeps" workaholic culture than NYC.
That's still not the point. The point being made is that most people don't even install an OS to begin with. They use whatever is pre-installed.
You can't land/takeoff an aircraft from public roads, for obvious reasons, but it's perfectly legal to do so to/from suitable open terrain, which in the case of light aircraft isn't hard to find. So while you're not going to be taking off directly from the highway (nor would you likely want to), it should be perfectly legal to drive off to a short trail somewhere and launch from there.
Out of curiosity why not work with a group planting trees, or folks switching to renewable sources of energy?

You should go from from backend to front end on a very simple app (perhaps an app to count based on a screen click?) . A summary of sorts, on the process of coding and how to get to a final product. This is something I wish I had alas I am crunching through weeks on codecademy try to get and idea of backend first, and then front end.

Is there anywhere I can credibly pay any reasonable amount of money to offset my CO2 emissions? I would be willing to pay a monthly salary for this, if the effect can be demonstrated to be sustainable and permanent.

I've been wondering how the various companies that have CO2 offset programs do it; whether it's credible or not.
In the counterfactual world where the US hadn't passed the Copyright Act of 1976, which is not the "Mickey Mouse extension" that people talk about when we talk about extensions. That's a world in which the United States has sharply lower copyright terms than Europe. And even in that world, Charlie Brown still isn't public domain this year.

It's just not a strong argument.

Don't forget: you were paying for Charlie Brown last year when it ran on network TV; you just weren't paying the same way you are now. This is really just a story about how broadcast TV is being obsoleted by streaming; it's not a copyright extension story.

Hey - Really appreciate the sentiments! Thanks for sharing your experience with your dad - as I mentioned in the post, I had the same experience with my grandfather.

We'd love to have the opportunity to serve you as a customer. We're interviewing parents and grandparents about their life stories everyday. Feel free to reach out directly with any questions at contact@heyartifact.com.

And in case helpful, we typically create a "Life Story" Artifact over three to four interviews (so it's like a mini-series). The outline, which you can of course adjust to your needs, tends to look like this:

Interview #1: Family Heritage & Childhood - Your dad's personal memories of prior generations.
Interview #2: Teenage Years / Young Adulthood / Early Career.
Interview #3: Mature Adulthood / Family Life / Career.
Interview #4: This tends to be a "wild card." Your dad and the interviewer may just have more territory to cover after the first sessions, or your dad may want to return to a certain time in his life or several themes. We can also 100% refund if this interview is not needed (we find that 80% of the time it is desired).

Honest question - is direct carbon capture better, than offsets or putting that money into helping folks switch to sustainable energy sources?
Disagree. Currently, many people have "Python" projects which only CPython can run, for some reason or other. Having a lot of competing interpreters/compilers helps define what the core of the language actually is, and which of your assumptions are hinged on that single implementation.
I find it beyond fascinating that it's a Visa debit card. I'm sure they went with Visa to ensure it was accepted by default at most (nearly all?) merchants, but the legal trade-offs and concessions Coinbase had to make to appease Visa will be interesting to read through.

- Flutter has built-in hot reload that enables fast iterations when designing an app. When you need to reset state though you have to reload the app which takes some time but it's not horribly slow.

- The performance of production builds is really good, better than any other cross-platform solution including web apps, PWAs, react native. I've got flutter apps running great on my cheap, old (circa 2015) phone with android 6.0. That's also a huge benefit of flutter, it can target older phones because it doesn't have many dependencies on native widgets etc, it just need a canvas to render.

- Dart not being a successful alternative to js(dart2js compiler), doesn't mean it's a bad language. In fact, Dart 2.0 was a serious update and the language now is great, with sane defaults and a nice standard library. I can't imagine any serious developer who knows at least one popular programming language like java,js,c# that would have problem with Dart. It's very easy to get used to it a couple of hours

Any studies you can cite to support your beliefs you're sharing here?
The cost of social media is much lower than the cost of television content (licensing and producing shows and movies). Cable TV is more accurately described as subsidized by subscriptions, making up the difference with ads. HBO and others are examples of content providers that (mostly, they still advertise their own content between shows) eschew advertisement in exchange for a higher cost to access.

Social media is cheaper than that, on a per user basis (at least amortized across all users, very active users are a net cost, but also lead many others to participate). I don't know what the price would be, exactly. But let's estimate. Twitter has approximately 300 million users, and brings in around $2.5 billion to $3 billion a year (over the past several years) in revenue. So to get an ad free experience and, assuming they're at least breaking even, cover their costs would be about $10/user.

That isn't to say they'd drop paid content, but they could.

You dont want your competitor to earn as much or have your infrastructure held hostage.

For example Walmart would likely prefer Google or better yet Microsoft Azure as they dont compete in any segment. The same goes to UPS, Fedex and DHL. Also lots of other retailers.
> AMD GPUs have near zero support in major ML frameworks. There are some things coming out with Rocm and other niche things, but most people in ML already have enough work dealing with model and framework problems that using experimental AMD support is probably a no go.

_If_ AMD has made a sufficiently powerful GPU, that will add a lot of incentive to ML frameworks to support it. But it's going to have to be a big difference, I imagine.

Given how active AMD is in open source work, I'm a little surprised they haven't been throwing developers at ML frameworks.
How do you permanently disable signing on 64-bit win7? Last I checked it wasn't possible to do cleanly, you end up needing user interaction for every boot, or you get a nag border.

Yup. One of many ways that parsing JSON is anything but a simple thing is the ambiguity around how numbers, which really isn't a hard thing to get right.
Cars are extremely useful for traveling long distances, traveling between cities, and for those rare times when you need to haul a lot of stuff, but they are terrible as daily transportation. They are the solution to a made-up problem that they alone exacerbate, which is that our cities are too spread out. There's no particular reason your immediate neighborhood doesn't have a small grocery store and all the other amenities you require for daily living. (That's how we built cities before the automobile, obviously.)

That's a design choice and it's a particularly bad one that's making your life less convenient, your body less healthy, your streets less safe, and your environment more polluted. When everybody drives you get congestion, which forces people to spread out more, which increases the reliance on cars...and so it goes.
This is a good start. Unfortunately as of now they are only offering Arduino microcontrollers. I'd like to see them add MSP-430 and ARM in the future.

I think PyTorch support is decent, I use it on my Radeon VII a lot.
- You can compile on https://lernapparat.de/pytorch-rocm/ (disclaimer my own link)
- Arch has support out of the box: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-pytorch-rocm/
- AMD also has a ROCm docker with PyTorch (https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Deep_learning/Deep-learni...)
- If you know the secret URL (which you can infer from the other URLs on the front page), there are also test wheels for rocm3.8.

So AMD got a lot of heat for not supporting Navi (RDNA) with ROCm, but it seems that they are weeding out the things keeping people from running it ( https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/pytorch/issues/718 and the links in that look like gfx10 is almost there for rocBlas and MIOpen). We'll see what ROCm 3.9 will bring and what the state of big navi is.
The upper management will use shareholders money to increase their own power at the expense of employees and shareholders. The Republican party is the one that supports looting public corporations. So that's who they give money to.
No matter how horrible X may be, it has a lot of value for end users. Almost all of this value is in the ecosystem around X.

You can't capture an ecosystem unless you provide that value, plus the activation energy needed to persuade people to change.

systemd (as an example of a large, recent, change to the "whole system") touched end-users far less than X so the pain was felt mainly by distributors and sysadmins.

Time and again, software that's "better" fails in the market because it doesn't provide the things that users need, want or use.

Backwards compatibility is usually key when trying to capture a large, long established user base. ...and that means backwards compatibility even (or especially!) with all the "bad" or "wrong" stuff. This is one of the things that makes software "products" much harder than software "engineering" (which in turn is "harder" than computer science).

Science is how it works. Engineering is getting it to work and productisation is getting people to adopt it.

Wayland has to solve problems that end-users actually care about rather than just being better in technical ways.
> As I understand if you repeal Section 230, and these companies become regulated as publishers, they will be required to censor ALL content.

If you just repeal Section 230, then if they don't moderate at all, they will become (at least, based on the legal precedent which motivated 230) distributors, which generally have liability only when they have actual notice of unlawful content. If they actively engaged in preemptive moderation at all, then they will become publishers and fully liable, with no notice requirement, for all content.

So, self-initiated moderation becomes all-or-nothing.

Section 230 was passed to encourage the middle ground.
There is a guaranteed solution to stop it from becoming apocalyptic which is comparatively easy and cheap, and we know it would work: just move away from fossil fuels and carbon intensive production ASAP. This requires political will we don't have, and fantasies like this just distract from what is necessary and the steps we must take.

These kind of pie-in-the-sky things takes money and attention from real solutions that work. They are false hopes that make people complacent and the problem seem less urgent, thinking that we'll tech our way out without fundamental changes to how we live on this planet.
Individualism != selfish and ignorant.

I'm highly individualist. I stay inside, wear a mask everywhere I go and listed to experts like Dr.Fauci on the subject of Covid. That's just one example.

There's a large amount of the population that lack empathy and are willfully ignorant. Individualism may be the cover word but what you actually mean is "hyper ignorance and selfishness"
In real world this is what happens:

- your main business is not IT

- your IT dept is under pressure to do a lot with very little

- your tech debt grows and grows until it becomes actually apparent to the business that even small changes are taking tremendous effort

- your IT team is not just stuck with legacy code but also with legacy skills

- someone has the sense to measure your IT throughput

- "expert" IT consultants are called in

- experts call for a total overhaul using some fancy terminology

- some $$$ later we have a n% transformation, some unhappy permanent employees who think they could have done this themselves, reluctantly acquired knowledge, skeptical internal users

- you now learnt the hard way to listen to your IT team more when they say that they need support with learning new skills and time to fix tech debt
Out of curiosity, is this a good idea? I'm no oceanologist, but I'd figure using tidal waves for energy would deplete the tidal waves of energy, no? And then that may have unintended consequences on ecosystems and climate? For example, would this have effects on El Nino (ENSO) cycles? I'm just grasping at straws here due to ignorance, but this smells fishy.
Just curious - did you guys present at last year's YC hackathon? I think I remember you! (we were the social film-camera team). Congrats on the launch!
> Do you have any real world examples of this actually happening?

Drive into any small town. There is frequently only 1 gas station, 1 grocery store, etc that all sell things for reasonable prices.

For a completely different style, the major airport in Rome (da Vinci) is owned by a private company yet they don’t do any goofy shit to jack up landing fees.

There are many rural places in the US where there is only coverage from one cell phone provider and the rates remain the same.

> The government does this with the addition of heavy regulation specifically to prevent abuse that comes from having monopolistic control of a market.

No, they have to add the regulation because of the abuse that comes from a government granted monopoly. Monopolies emerge all of the time in all kinds of markets and they are not indications of failures. They can indicate that consumers are happy enough or that the margin is thin enough that competitors aren’t needed.

A government guaranteeing that a competitor can’t exist is when monopolies become ripe for abuse. That’s why government granted monopolies need regulation.
Exactly. Attempting to regulate the internet will always end in failure, as we've seen again and again. The EU's initiatives are very noble but I think: as they try to keep enforcing their laws and fines, they're just going to end up with less content being available to people in their jurisdiction. You thought copyright region-restrictions were bad.. just wait until Spotify refuses to serve your continent because compliance is costing more than the profits you generate.
Apache Mesos has a very solid, clean and well maintained code base (https://github.com/apache/mesos). It’s a massively scalable distributed system that has been running in production for many years at Twitter, Apple, Netflix and other places (more recently it’s being replaced by Kubernetes, but that’s beside the point of this thread).

Mesos is interesting as a whole but it also has some parts that are notoriously hard to get right (like their Paxos implementation).

It also contains an RPC library that implements an actor model and uses futures and promises (https://github.com/apache/mesos/tree/master/3rdparty/libproc...), as well as a header-only utility library called Stout (https://github.com/apache/mesos/tree/master/3rdparty/stout) with a lot of useful functions.
I work for a WordPress agency. This is mostly due to poor optimization of the website owner/host. It's almost never worth it to have a fully dynamic page generated for every visit. A couple short lived caches (60 seconds) would likely have kept the site online, as well as properly set headers.

This honestly seems like a rookie configuration mistake that was overlooked during some migration between webhosts. At this point, tuning WordPress is pretty well known. The reason MySQL gets blamed is due to WP's poor DB schema. Very few indexes and the data is not normalized.

On small sites with few comments/posts, it's never a problem, but at scale, you'll see issues start to popup as the DB has to scan entire tables for each page load. This largely drove the rise of comment services like Disqus and FB comments a decade ago. It seems in recent years a lot of people have opted to just not have blog comments, instead driving discussion to dedicated forums or social media groups.

One is tempted to advise, lower your carbon footprint to start with! But its hard to figure out how. Most of the public infrastructure we use to survive is beyond our control. Drive or take the bus? Which is better? Or walk, but the extra food you consume is a worse contributor to your footprint! So remain a couch potato and work from home. But illness, depression and early decrepitude cost society too, which has its impact on CO2 footprint...

sure, there are some parts of the US that get too cold and snowy, but there's plenty of the country that doesn't (like my own neck of the woods, southern california).

i was more pointing out that 2 relatively inexpensive changes (use scooters, convert parking to bike lanes) could dramatically change the balance of cars vs. public transport in those places (not everywhere). it doesn't have to require a wholesale change of our built environment to get benefits now (even for those dependent on cars).
Also it was super easy to bypass the registration with a super simple hack on their old mac app. It’s been a few years but I remember something along the lines of having to use the menu bar to open a file while they were prompting me to pay. There was probably another step involved but I was able to read and write files forever without paying. Reminded me WinRar
It would be a transfer wouldn't it? I'd be transferring from my wallet to yours. Would that generally be taxed?

I was under the impression that for capital gains taxes it's more so buying, holding, then selling for a profit.

Could be mistaken here though.
That the hearing is little more second-rate theater for public consumption that has been done better in the movies (particularly Godfather II). The feigned indignation of senators, the stoicism of the various CEO's, it's a bit too much.
