>They totally still call you paranoid

Id' say it's weirder still. A lot of people are well aware, and some even spout the wildest speculations about data usage, but if you actually go beyond shallow comments and suggest action (preemptive, legislative, etc) you are often met with a general "well, you care too much" attitude.

I get it, there's a lot of effort to be put in just to understand these matters, let alone remedy them.
A Lesson of the Pandemic: All Prints Should Be Preprints
Not "democratic", but "fair and accountable".

You are effectively reinventing a legal system with the CoC rules and its enforcement. But it's a "kangaroo court". In the real world, we realised that power needs checks and balances. Justice must be seen to have been served in a fair and proportionate manner. That's why we have public hearings, jury trials, the defendant has the right to put forward their side of the story with legal representation, evidence is submitted by both sides, we have cross-examination, sentences are passed with reference to established precedent, and there is also the right to appeal a judgement.

If organisations take it upon themselves to invent a faux legal system under which to operate, they can not omit the checks and balances without creating a system ripe for abuse and miscarriage of justice. The problem with CoC "enforcement" is that it is done behind closed doors with no oversight or accountability. The "defendant" has no right to properly hear the charges, or to present their case, or to appeal against it. It is manifestly unfair.

As for "not giving anyone more power than they already had", this is also untrue. Committees and individuals have been explicitly bestowed with the power to enforce CoCs by pronouncing judgements and inflicting their will upon the members of their organisations. They have great power, but not the corresponding requirement for accountability to their members.

What if that other country has nuclear weapons? Would WWIII start with cyber attacks first?
I'm a little cautious of that. “have been found” implies a correlation but reserves some doubt; to omit it is to say the correlation is extremely strong, effectively beyond doubt. That's a strong implication. To leave that quaifier phrase in suggests the author recognises the signal is noisy and some other experts may disagree about the correlation being present.

Anyway, I really appreciate this kind of thing. There's too much bullshit writing and I'm glad someone is pushing back.

I foolishly purchased an album or two from Google Play Music, which will be defunct by year end. Maybe the 'ownership' license will transfer over to Youtube Music if I migrate my subscription, but what if I don't? It doesn't seem logical that I lose the ability to listen to music that I purchased just because the intermediary that I purchased it through has gone. Do not the rights holders keep track of who owns licenses to listen to what? Shouldn't they be tracking this information on the other side of their business than the one that sends questionable DMCA(-ish?) take-down notices to github for potential copyright infringement usage?

I won't be migrating my subscription to YT Music. I won't be purchasing any more music, movies, or TV shows that I can't store locally and backup via simple scripts with tools like rsync and robocopy.

Purchasing a license to stream a specific item via a specific service is, literally, buying nothing.

The Internet remembers everything. Except your digital copyright licenses. It's anti-consumer turtles all the way down.

A few years ago I had a bug like this under X + Noveau + GNOME, where Windows were reporting the wrong coordinates.

It was fairly easy to find an example on stackoverflow that created a Window using Gtk, and reported it's position.

Once something like that is on the bug report things tend to get fixed pretty quickly.

Report the bug on the outer-most thing first, e.g. GNOME shell in this case.
Won't argue!! But those technologies (a) had a fraction of the upside, (b) don't offer partial wins that pay back the R&D (like self driving trucks), and (c) never attracted the same level of investment or talent.

Self driving vehicles will save $250+B/year in labor costs in the US alone - this is more impactful than the cotton gin and rivals the impact of refrigeration. 3D TVs and cuecat are 3-6 orders of magnitude smaller impact

Finally, it's worth mentioning that cuecat became QR codes which took off after getting built into cellphone cameras. 3D television didn't take off but 4K did i.e. consumer demand existed for richer TV images just not specifically 3D. Projectors remain niche as well even though they promise to take TV from 80" to 130+" - if ultra short throw (UST) projectors come down in price, I could see them going mainstream, especially in tandem with 4K/8K.

I think this is a valid point. A system of justice isn't just a set of rules. To be effective, it also requires a trustworthy process to determine whether the rules were correctly decided and published, whether a given individual's conduct violates the rules, and what, if any, punishment there should be.

>> but you agreed to the license when you purchased it,

That part specifically isn't true in all of EU. There is no such thing as implicit licences at purchase time - that's why EULA and the likes of it are worth as much as toilet paper here. And in a lot of countries you can absolutely make copies of the discs you own, no legal issue at all. You usually can't show it to large audiences, but that's not because of the licence terms, but because the laws of the country prohibit it without paying a fee to the national association of artists. If I want to show a Blu-Ray I bought to a large group of people I need to pay a nominal fee to my country's national artist's association and then it's completely legal - but I don't even need to tell the distributor of the movie, or the owner of the copyright at all, that's not my problem. Same with playing music at events and such - a fee is paid to a national organisation governing this, the distributor can say whatever they want on the box but it's just irrelevant.

>>, you can't modify it and redistribute it etc

Of course you can in certain ways and formats, "fair use" is even allowed in such restrictive countries as US.

They have endorsed solutions, but as it's still quite new it's a moving target. Originally they pushed for BLoCs, and now I think Provider is the preferred state management solution. There will probably be another one soon. At the end of the day they all work, but with different pros and cons.

Even if it's not the fotm, I'm very happy with BLoCs for global state and not shying away from using classic stateful widgets and forwarding data between screens where intermediate states are needed.

I don't understand what kind of stuff people build in React where performance implications of this sort is relevant. I'm building games where I loop through potentially thousands of objects 60 times a second and optimizations on that level still don't make any difference. It's always rendering that is the bottleneck. Shouldn't it be the same with React?
Full quote from the PDF transcript:

"Regarding crunch; actually, it’s not that bad – and never was. Of course it’s a story that has been picked up by the media, and some people have been crunching heavily,but a large part of the team is not crunching at all since they have finished their work; it’s mostly about Q&A and engineers, programmers –but it’s not that heavy; of course, it will be extended a bit, but we have feedback from the team; they’re happy about the extra three weeks, so we don’t see any threats regarding crunch."

As a Pole, this comes off as incredibly arrogant and self-centered. People outside the US have agency as well, they're not all just puppets of US special interest groups. Not everything revolves around you.

Factually, the claim is also false. The ACLJ's brief was completely irrelevant to the decision in question.
As someone learning to fly, I do see a great usecase though. There are a reasonable number of airfields in the UK and I can usually rely on there being one within a reasonable distance of where I want to go. That "reasonable distance" is still going to be some miles though. The ability to fly most of the way, land at an airfield and then drive the last bit makes a lot of sense.
"After they told me of the reports and their finding that I had violated the code of conduct, they asked if I had anything to say."

There really is only ever one thing to say in a situation like this, and it is "Yes, I refuse to participate any further in this farce; good day!" and then hang up. Personally I would not have been so polite :)

CoC committees are breeding grounds for idiots who think you can legislate for common sense and basic decency; and in my book that is a bridge that's worth burning every time.

I really hope the author finds some peace in all this, nobody deserves to be treated they way they have. And I hope that others who have found - and will in future find - themselves in this same situation, will have the courage to stand up to this kind of bullying by refusing to engage.

Self was seminal in two ways: prototypes instead of classes influenced Javascript, and code splitting presaged perhaps the most important JIT technique.

This rapidly declining inflation rate is undesirable as it necessarily concentrates wealth in early adopters.

Other coins are even harder in just creating ALL supply in one instant. That makes them both harder and worse.

A constant emission would minimize concentration of wealth yet still have inflation rate going to zero.
Calling someone and telling them you've found them to have violated a rule, and that there would therefore be certain consequences, is not an easy task, nor one that most people should be expected to do well. There's no shame in not being good at it.

Start with a mind map.

If the goal of your writing is clear, it's easy to make an outline once the mind map is done. If the goal isn't clear, start asking questions about why it isn't clear and expand the mind map until there's enough there to continue. Sometimes this requires research while constructing the mind map, especially for assigned academic writing. Tag pages with sticky notes or copy data with references into a large research doc as you go.

Once the outline is done, the rest is straightforward. An editor always helps if you can afford one, but you don't always need to agree with the suggested changes.
The consistent push toward the "sharing economy" and or the "gig economy" makes me very uneasy, especially when it comes to physical things like houses, cars, or food. The end result will be that regular people don't own anything and don't know how to do things, whether that's repair your vehicle or cook a meal at home. When push comes to shove, the corporation actually owning such things can cut you off with virtually no consequences.

I recently heard a similarly scary story about a German hospital. They are still running some machines for patient data management on XP since funding for that software stopped long ago. What's especially funny is how the software is .NET based so you'd think it's less likely to break on a Windows update....

And I can't really agree with everyone solely blaming the attackers. Bad people exist. You don't leave your front door wide open when you leave your house either and then act all surprised if you get robbed. I don't really let "don't blame the victim" count here. A malware attack is not like a natural disaster that just happens. Don't build your house on quicksand.

Maybe it's actually good this happens now and that it's "just" ransomware. Because maybe it raises awareness and leads to better security. Next time it might be a coordinated attack by a state actor that doesn't just have money on their mind.
> I still see factories on a daily basis. They are a useful design pattern that is utilized in Java.

A separate factory type means you have to write twice as much code for no real benefit. In most languages you'd just use a first-class function (and in post-8 Java you can do the same: rather than a FooFactory you accept a Supplier<Foo> and people can pass ::Foo . It's still more cumbersome than in most languages though). Or, in a lot of other cases, the factory is just a clunky way to achieve named arguments.

> My anecdotal evidence is that I have never seen the over-engineered "Enterprise Java horrors" OP is talking about despite working in the Java EE (now Jakarta EE) space.

Have you worked on a reputable codebase in a low-overhead language like Python or Ruby? If you don't recognise factories as bloat then you may well miss the other cases (famously, the majority of the Gang of Four patterns can just be replaced by passing a function).

Interesting how opposing standards of reasoning are used for different transmission methods. There are no specific reports which have directly demonstrated fomite transmission, yet it is believed to be an important transmission method. But on the other hand, many experts say that aerosol transmission is unlikely, because there are also no specific reports which have directly demonstrated aerosol transmission.
It does -- and if Youtube Music lets you upload music files like GPM did (not sure if they've added this feature yet or not, I know they claimed they would), that's one avenue.

However, I've noticed that the one album I've ever purchased through GPM is not available on YTM and even though I purchased it, it is still greyed out in my transferred playlists.

Lesson learned -- I'm just glad I only ever made that mistake once and didn't lose a library (or would have to painstakingly download each album manually and reupload)

EDIT:

To be clear, not only did the "ownership" of the music not transfer, but (presumably) because of a change in licensing agreements the music has become entirely unavailable in any form. At least, it will once GPM goes offline.
Yep. Odd that the article makes it seem like some new innovation.
Presumably what gvhst means is "It's useful gold is dense, as if there were cheaper denser metals you could create fake gold bars by gold-plating alloys of equal density"

After all, you can already get gold-plated tungsten bars [1] from companies like chinatungsten as 'novelty paperweights' [2] - even though tungsten is fractionally less dense than gold.

As iridium and osmium are traded in very low volumes and toxic/acidic, platinum is more expensive than gold, and tungsten is fractionally lighter, fake gold is seldom undetectable.
