Compare in which terms?

The country consists of two islands, the North and South. The North is warmer and the South colder, especially when you go to the South of the South island. New Zealand is extremely diverse in nature, you have everything from tropical jungles, to sand dunes, volcanoes, glaciers and amazing mountains. The North island is more populated than the South, but in comparison to the US or UK the whole of New Zealand is very sparsely populated. The country has more sheep than human and is geographically extremely isolated when you think that the closest neighbour is Australia which is a 4 hour flight and even Australia is extremely isolated when you compare it to an international melting pot like the UK. Like with everything in life this has pros and cons. Overall it's a beautiful place to be, stable and good economy, great work/life balance, amazing outdoor opportunities and a friendly culture. If New Zealand wasn't so far away from everyone else then I'd consider moving there myself, but not being able to quickly jump on a two hour flight to see old friends and family is a huge problem, especially when people get older they seem to value their relationship to friends and family increasingly more.
>"On the positive side, the people who are enjoying the walled gardens are probably not the people who would've participated in the open web with much positive outcome anyway."

There's a significant number of people who were introduced to the web via the earlier walled gardens of AOL, Compuserve and Prodigy who then went on to both participate and contribute to the open web. Many were even motivated as a reaction against those earlier corporate walled-garden models.

I just never understand what the solution is. How is the web less free, just because there is one huge social network that people like to use? Yeah we got a classic monopoly there, that just happens to use the internet for it's business... so legally break it up if you don't like it. I can't ethically blame companies for trying to grow wherever they can. And I especially can't see the connection to the internet as a technology.

> if you dig deep enough into the problem, often the hardware is found to be at fault

That's not really good enough though. Next gen file systems are supposed to be resilient even if hardware fails. That's the whole point of raiding and checksumming. ZFS was very much intended to be resilient when faced with bad hardware. Heck, even in the 90s this was a known problem hence chkdsk on DOS marking bad sectors to somewhat mitigate data corruption on FAT file systems. If Btrfs only works when hardware is behaving then that is absolutely a problem with Btrfs.

As for my experience with ZFS, it's kept consistency when disks have died. It's worked flawlessly when SATA controllers have died (one motherboard would randomly drop HDDs when the controllers experienced high IOPS -- which would be enough to trash any normal file system but ZFS survived it with literally no data loss). Not to mention frequent unscheduled power cuts, kernel panics (unrelated to ZFS), and so on and so forth. I'm sure it's possible to trash a ZFS volume but it's stood strong on some pretty dubious hardware configurations for me and where most other file systems would have failed.

If I was going write a response to this it would be with the title "The Open Web is dead. Long live the Open Web"

People often look to Tim Berners-Lee for thought leadership on the web, as the pioneer of hypertext and now director of the W3C. But if you read, say, Roy Fielding's REST paper you'd notice things like this https://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arc... (and remember Roy was a co-founder of the Apache HTTP Server and contributor to https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt)

"Since centralized link servers are an anathema to the immense scale and multi-organizational domain requirements of the Web, REST relies instead on the author choosing a resource identifier that best fits the nature of the concept being identified. Naturally, the quality of an identifier is often proportional to the amount of money spent to retain its validity, which leads to broken links as ephemeral (or poorly supported) information moves or disappears over time."

The two things I take away here were...

- The guys working on the fundamentals of the web at that time couldn't imagine it would be possible to scale centralised services to serve links

- Money was a key consideration to determining "system quality" - they were not building utopian systems here - they knew there would be a relationship between which information would "succeed" and how much money was behind it

That in turn means the key to making a "better open web" is making it more economically viable and able to out-compete existing centralized services. That doesn't necessarily mean "distributed web" is the right answer

Cling is absolutely amazing to get the REPL mood combined with C++. In my view, every programming language should have a REPL because it is so damned explorative and allows for quickly playing with stuff and developing ideas.

One thing is, they could write anything in the EULA, I was just wondering how much it is actually enforceable (even with a click-through "consent".

Second, I wonder on what legal basis they can actually impose usage restrictions of a whole Mac (hardware+software) via an EULA as long as I don't breach any copyright (which I don't think I do if I rent out usage of the entire system for a few hours).

AFAICT (again, not a lawyer), everything rests on section 1.J.[1] "Except as expressly permitted in Section 3, you may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the Apple Software." being enforceable. (Section 3. contains the infamous terms for Leasing for Permitted Developer Services with the 24hr restriction). I don't know if such terms would hold up in court. If I read the thing correctly, the the EULA forbids people from lending their MacBook to a friend, or even resell it, which strikes me as quite absurd.

You'd really need to microdose that properly though. I've cleaned my shower with aerosolised alcohol spray. Even with an open window and a cloth on my nose, I got quite tipsy / giggly and ended up with strong headache. I was definitely not functional afterwards, or at least not safe to work.

Do you think that people are spending all 40 hours of their workweek working on the most important task to increase revenue?

My theory, at least with software engineering, is that we all struggle with burnout. You can spend 40 hours "in the office" per week, but as you get burned out, the amount of value you add in those hours decreases. If you take a day where you don't open Slack or think about work, then you reset some of that burnout, and your next 32 hours will be significantly more productive than 40 would have been. (You can probably measure it sometime. Look at the 40 hours before someone goes on a two week vacation, and look at the 40 hours immediately after that vacation.)

This isn't data, but my team has one person taking every Friday off. We do Thursday-Thursday oncall shifts, and outgoing oncall takes Friday off. I haven't noticed any change in productivity from myself or our team since we've implemented this policy. One person-day per week doesn't matter much; there is probably some tiny and low priority task that doesn't get done as a result. But the important stuff keeps happening, and the team is in a better mental state the rest of the time.

I don't think that 32 hours of software engineering per week would look a lot different than 40 hours of software engineering per week, averaged on the scale of months or years. 40 is an arbitrary number that has nothing to do with the mechanics of thinking about software, or even the typing-in of software. It's probably worth another look. (I have no idea how it translates to other fields.)
> [...] if you wrap the semantics in a library, and use the library, you get the same reliability from it.

Wrong. Rust offers more tools for checking that your library is used correctly than C++ does. First and foremost, the borrow checker – there is nothing comparable in C++, and it's a lot harder/impossible to statically prevent code from modifying shared data after a mutex has been unlocked, for example.

> (This is an unpopular observation in certain places.)

It is unpopular because it is factually incorrect.
I'm sure many would happily put an end to Youtube-dl (and other such tooling), and for some the copyright infringement argument is just a cover for their issue with youtube-dl basically punching a hole in their garden's wall.

As a side note, imo the state of the copyright laws also does no good to the openness of the web.

That does not imply there is an inverse causal relationship between working time and GDP, perhaps if the working hours had kept the same the GDP would have increased even further.
My point and question was not about me not wanting to pay. It was about what's meant by "free" and "open source" if you have to pay to use it on your own running costs if you want certain features (the sharing feature is one example I mentioned).

If you read through the link you posted and also the FAQ, you'd see that you can only self host the free tier features for free. If you wish to have some premium features or a family sharing feature and want to self host, you still have to pay. My question was about what the OP was using/hosting and the licensing model.
Only a much older version which sadly does not feature compressed bitmaps or reordering of the bitmaps, plus having one or two bugs rather critical bugs. It's part of my toy project kernel. Largely written in Rust with a few unsafe behaviours since it's intended to be able to bootstrap given only a pointer and size of a heap memory block using only 8 kilobytes of stack, as well as being able to add or remove memory to the entire list.

There is only one section that behaves like a lock, which handles the free range decompression. It has to be somewhat exclusive in behaviour since it must be able to decompress the block without allocating memory, instead it simply uses the decompressed lock to allocate the memory necessary to accomodate for overhang memory in the range (ie, if a range is larger than a block). It simply means that during this time, the available memory shrinks by the amount represented by the range.

IIRC it's about 128 bytes of metadata, the rest is bits in the bitmaps to handle page allocation. Each block can in theory handle about 124 MiB, though I do have some logic so that sections can be split into multiple blocks to reduce contention as well as handling large pages (which largely reside in a single block as even 16MB pages enable managing Terabytes of memory).

Allocation is simply a CAS on the byte containing the free bit for the specific page (Base Address + 4KiB * Bit Index) then doing an atomic increment on the free page counter. Deallocation is the reverse. Failed CAS attempts mean it continues to the next free bit atleast on the next byte (= (Bit Index >> 3 + 1) << 3). The happy allocation path is fewer than a hundred instructions, the unhappy path is about a thousand instructions. CAS latency can be quite unpredictable though, so probably not suitable for realtime systems.

So you can self host for free. Most of the older premium features are included in the open source server - it does have a license check, which loads a license file you're provide by Bitwarden if you purchase one. These older premium features and the license check are themselves AGPL licensed last time I looked. Alternatively, you can use bitwarden_rs, a re-implementation of the server under GPLv3. Many of the premium features (such as yubikey support) are implemented in bitwarden_rs out of the box so you don't need a license for those.

Some of the newer premium features, such as SSO integration are under the Bitwarden license, which is more of a visible source license.
The Wide-Lens Principles to Avert Avoidable Product Failures

Abandonment emails are the reason I started (almost) checking-out with a broken email (no MX) and a fake identity before giving my real details.

I live in Israel and it's extremely hard to tell whether this website will charge me $5, $15, $29 or $50 for shipping. Or what level of shipping that would be (postal or private). Or if they even ship to my country at all, with so many websites not having a "where do you ship?" FAQ. (Or an "estimate shipping" button)

So to find out it's $50 plain mail shipping, or worse, they don't ship at all and still get a "please come back!" email was very annoying.
That statement you quote is completely understandable.

Let's say you have discrete sequences that are a product of a particular distribution.

Unsupervised methods are able, by just reading these sequences, to construct a compact representation of that distribution.
The model has managed to untangle the sequences into a compact representation (weights in a neural network) that allows you to use it for other, higher level supervised tasks.

For example, the transformer model in NLP allowed us to not have to do part-of-speech tagging, dependency parsing, named entity recognition or entity relationship extraction for a successful language-pair translation system. The compact transformer model managed to remap the sequences into a representation that allows direct translation (people have inspected these models and figured out the internal workings of it and realized it does have latent information about a parse tree of a sentence or part-of-speech of a word).

Another interesting note is that designers of the transformer architecture did not incorporate any prior linguistic knowledge when they were designing it (meaning that the model is not designed to model language but just a discrete sequence).
