This is a good resource about WFH in general. https://www.upcounsel.com/work-for-hire

Generally, a novelization of a preexisting script (such as all of the novels that ADF is complaining about) is a "commissioned" work, meaning that it is a WFH under American law. As a WFH, the commissioning employer would own the copyrights, and an author would not be entitled to royalties because they aren't licensing a copyright from them. To the extent the author might receive any ongoing payments, those would generally be "performance bonuses" for reaching milestone sales. It is extremely rare for commissioned works to be subject to royalties, and that generally involves novelizations.

Interestingly, ADF is claiming that the payments are royalties. (https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/19/21578621/disney-alan-dea...) Given Fox's history of non-standard/talent-friendly legal practices during the era in question (see, e.g., letting Lucas keep the rights to Star Wars), that sounds like something that 80's era Fox would have done...with respect to the Aliens novelizations.

Something is off with how both sides are characterizing the agreements. Disney claims it didn't acquire any liabilites--but both the Fox and Lucasfilm acquisitions were stock acquisitions, meaning that acquired companies inclusive of all assets and liabilities. And ADF is claiming that WFH agreements included royalties, which is extremely rare.

Ultimately, unless someone coughs up a contract, there's no way to be sure who's right here.
I'm curious what countermeasures snipers employ against thermal cameras. They could hide from above under a thick tarp.
You don't typically need to examine 3rd party types, consuming them requires little cognitive effort because the IDE/typechecker will generally tell you everything you need to know at the consumption site.

If you ever do have to dig into a really complex type, that might be painful, but keep in mind that the reason we have more sophisticated types is so that we can maximize correctness and reduce the chance of bugs, the fact that you're getting a type error at all means whatever you wanted to do is definitionally unsafe, so it's good that typescript is empowered to tell you not to do this, even if you don't immediately understand why.
is it really necessary to complain about this?

There we are.

Page 10, paragraph 3.

So if you take this Bjarn at his word, he is correct. The plane is flyable without MCAS, but would be ineligible for certification to serve in a capacity as a Civil Air Transport.

I'm sorry, but I really hope people are not lulled or otherwise duped by the mere passing of time that this thing is fine.

I accept that pilots can now safely fly it. I also accept it is safer now than it was before. I will not ever accept that it was a design that was arrived at in good faith, and no matter what flowery accolades are heaped on it by regulators, it will remain irrevocably tainted in my eyes. A monument to greed over integrity, to a complete failure and subversion of the celebrated "Process" credited with unquestionably rendering air travel safer over the last century, by the forces of a cultural rot fueled by the financialization of a great firm as naught but a mechanism fpr economic growth and value extraction first, rather than as an entity first and foremost dedicated to the production of safe, reliable, and revolutionary aircraft.

I refuse the MAX mot because there it has not been fixed or rendered safe, but because I refuse to award the it's maker for their betrayal of their obligation to the flying public, regardless of how successful their legal did at convincing their regulator that they operated in good faith.

There is too damn much reek of bad faith for me to acknowledge the lack of judicial declaration of bad faith as anything exculpatory.

Call me vindictive, a fool, overly idealistic, call me what you will, but that doesn't happen without a lot of rotten slime to grease the gears of calamity.
Is there a source for this claim? I’ve never read anything about AMP that claims the intent is privacy.

Furthermore, I don’t see why AMP specifically is needed for what you describe — it seems to me that Google could do the exact same thing with normal webpages.
There are research teams at Microsoft exploring a native form of TypeScript ( https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/static-... ) but the TypeScript team will never probably look at native support given the goal is to explicitly be JavaScript + Types, and that domain helps balance well with all the other ecosystem players ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qm49TyMUPI )

Halderman's 2018 demo has been repeatedly referenced by right wing media, but somehow the actual guy never appears on the talk shows.
I would argue TypeScript is much more expressive than C++. Also, most of this complexity is used in type definitions of complex libraries that was designed without typing in mind. Now, normal programmers can enjoy the help from IDE of those libraries, without having to write many complex type definitions themselves.
Sounds like the wonderful, wacky world that was Unreal modding in the late 90s.

You're being grossly uncharitable considering what he's already been able to accomplish at SpaceX. The thing about Musk is that when even 5% of his hype comes to fruition, substantial positive change follows. Can you say the same about your employer, or about yourself?

Yes, in many respects he behaves like a stereotypical rich eccentric whackjob, somebody who will probably end up in Howard Hughes's old hotel suite surrounded by bottles of his own urine. It sucks that any defense of Musk inevitably has to be framed with a disclaimer like that. But like Hughes, he gets important shit done when nobody else is even willing to try, and he isn't afraid to place long bets on long shots.
But they need to know first. Who looks for something new on viemo? Sure if someone points you to them you will look, but do you go there just to see if there is anything interesting when you are bored?
That’d be awesome! Should note that a lot of popular software is (at least in part) paid for by the large companies. For example, Google probably has several engineers working on chromium. Facebook has several working on React and React Native. Apple has several working on Swift. Automattic (where I work), has several working on WordPress.
Actually, when I was reading Google's blog post, this rule jumped out to me:

> The browser must not provide automation features. This includes scripts that automate keystrokes or clicks, especially to perform automatic sign-ins.

Automating keystrokes and/or clicks could absolutely be necessary for accessibility.

Of course. USA assembly is pretty expensive though, it's a low volume product (so the cost of setting up additional factory won't get distributed across many devices) and I'm not aware of any competition there, so the final price is hardly surprising IMO.

The regular version costs "just" 4 times the PinePhone price, but with Librem 5 you get not only more powerful hardware with more expensive components, but also warranty, continued software development and tech support.
JetBrain IDEs are pretty amazing at this.
Open source hackers suffer the same fate as other creatives. What's the software industry analog of gigging at some shit bars that rake in money getting people who like your music drunk but not paying you all while working a day job so you can do what you love?

Agree with that sentiment! But would take it one step further. I argued in 2010 that Adobe should have (could have, would have) launched their own hardware platform. This would have given them & the thousands of loyal Flash devs a more permanent 'final destination' for their apps & games - despite Apple's intentions.

Easier said than done, but fun to think about how things could have played out if Flash was given a dedicated hardware platform and follow on generational iterations ie- today maybe we'd have one more option other than iOS or Android. In fact, an allegience with Microsoft probably would have been best and saved both companies' endevours in the dedicated phone/tablet space but now I'm just spitballing.

Risk compensation is a theory which suggests that people typically adjust their behavior in response to the perceived level of risk, becoming more careful where they sense greater risk and less careful if they feel more protected.[2] Although usually small in comparison to the fundamental benefits of safety interventions, it may result in a lower net benefit than expected.

Dang. This is one I can speak to. Back around 2008 or so I was at a friend's college dorm and we spent an entire day watching a Mad Men marathon on AMC. This was long before binge watching, when an actor was either in movies, on HBO, or on bleh cable, so it felt like a cultural shift to me that we were all so enamored by this show. When I got home I typed in /r/television to see if maybe this was something others were talking about, but I discovered it was an abandoned subreddit full of soap opera gossip. So I messaged the user that created it, who eventually came around and saw my message, and he let me take it over. He didn't leave the subreddit so he was always top in the hierarchy, but I personally took full ownership. I spent years designing and enforcing rules discouraging things like downvotes, requiring people to submit the source instead of blogspam/clickbait, disallowing memes/image posts, banning any form of hate speech, etc. This was _not_ the norm on Reddit at the time. This was the era of /r/pics. Most passerbys hated it, it really didn't even follow the whole idea of Reddit as a whole, but the ones that stayed were awesome and it seriously just grew and grew and grew. Critics like Alan Sepinwall were practically gods there and guided a lot of the discussion throughout those years, and the AV Club was largely ignored.

I ended up taking a little hiatus from the Internet and left some mods I trusted in control, and when I went back after a few months I discovered the original mod had let Reddit take it over and install their own team to make it a default subreddit. Why wouldn't they? Now, it is what it is. Still, I look at it and know I designed that logo, I wrote the rules that have been repurposed and are buried in some wiki that nobody reads, and I wrote the stylesheet for the sidebar. Oh well.
I came to the comments to shill for http://calca.io . For the most part has just worked and have used it in training videos, client emails, rough math sketches, etc. And the output is just markdown-formatted plaintext so you can still use it for reading purposes without the app.
you don't need wings. For high-speed long distance the most efficient trajectory is ballistic - thus passenger variant Starship carrying 100-500 passengers at $2-5M/launch (thus $5-20K/ticket) will, i think, be the next transcontinental mode of transportation (less than 1 hour SF-Melbourne).

Every additional 'Level' in the flash decreases the overall life cycle. Mind you, oftentimes drive controllers are fancier, often doing things like treating one of the sections as a less dense flash type to improve write cycles, and keep/move longer held data into the regions treated as QLC.

But, that means that some heavy write patters will indeed wind up worse on a modern drive than the better MLC/TLC models.

There's about 5 significant things that go into perceived temperature and comfort: Ambient air temperature, radiant heat, conductive heat, humidity, and air circulation.

So for instance, in an un-insulated shed, you could bring up the ambient air temperature with a space heater, but still feel cold because the walls are cold and not radiating heat back at you. (It would be convenient, but incorrect to say that they are radiating cold at you).

If you insulated the walls and ceiling, but not the floor, you could have a warm space, but cold feet due to conductive heating (of the floor, from your feet).

Humidity and air movement is more important in cooling, because the human body cools itself with sweat; but humidity in a structure has to be controlled, even if you want more humidity in the wintertime, it will condense and cause rot.

So basically I'm saying you want the insulation just for comfort even if it didn't make economic sense.
Good luck!

My knee jerk reading this article and seeing a kernel module near 'nodejs' was to grumble and say "wtf they clearly didn't need a kernel module for this". But upon reading deeper I see that accessing the kernel is kinda appropriate.

Regardless of whether you end up using eBPF or a .ko like you already have, you may have a yet simpler option. By leveraging the loader you can do an interposition trick with LD_PRELOAD to hook C library accesses. Maybe this is all you need in order to "help students understand system calls such as open, close, dup2, fork, pipe, and others. "

Just a suggestion. Carry on, good show.
I'd checkout dolthub.com! Dolt is built for git workflows (branches and merges) on top of large datasets.
This was so easy to "sneak" into the process where I work:

> The fastest way to get results is for me to contribute a fix.

> Can't we copy their code and fix it locally?

> Absolutely, but then we won't get any fixes from them in the future, unless we set up our own build infrastructure and have a team make sure that they merge across changes regularly.

... which starts sounding like lots of money. Your employer cares about the bottom line, so make it about the bottom line. The Linux Kernel is a fantastic example of egoistic altruism in action. You don't need to hire people to fix arbitrary things in OSS (although that would be appreciated), just fix the things you care about.

Finally, getting a PR merged into a big project makes any other method of training look grossly incompetent - and it's free. Go ahead and cancel that company-wide Pluralsight or Linked-in Learning contract, now we're saving money.

Don't ask for open source developers, ask to fix things in open source.

Would be interesting to see how Ranked programming relates to Possibility theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possibility_theory

EDIT: There is actually a short discussion at the end of the PDF on ranked programming:

"Besides ranking theory, there are other alternatives to probability theory. These include Dempster-Shafer functions,
possibility measures, and plausibility measures (see [Halpern, 2017] for an overview and comparison, which includes ranking theory). Possibility measures measure uncertainty on an arbitrary totally ordered scale, such as the integer scale from 0 to ∞ (making them equivalent to ranking functions) or real numbers from the interval [0, 1]. The latter is often chosen to model vagueness or fuzziness. Possibility theory has been used to equip logic programming and answer set programming with the ability to deal with uncertainty [Nicolas et al., 2006; Bauters et al., 2010; Alsinet and Godo, 2000]".

PCalc is a work of art. I can't personally speak to the developer's philosophy here, but it feels like they sat down and asked themselves how they could make the best possible app in this very specific domain, then doubled back and added an extra 10x attention to detail on top.

A calculator app might seem like a very small thing, but the availability of PCalc is literally one of the handful of items I have in my "pros/cons" list of using iPhone vs. an Android phone.

Nah, this site has as bad groupthink as Reddit. It's more useful to keep tabs on what the STEM knowledge class believes than it is for useful discussion. Try arguing in favor of copyright, or that everyone here uses social media as a scapegoat to absolve themselves of their own inaction, and watch the hive mind turn its eye on you.
Yup. I pay $3300/mo for an nyc apartment in a 2003 building. You’d like to imagine in a city with very cold winters and very hot summers they sprung for double paned glass. Nope. Single paned, poorly sealed glass means our thermostat is turned past 80 in the winter. If the living room (less window exposure) where the thermostat is isn’t 85 the rooms can be below 60.
