The end users buy the products of the advertisers. In a monopoly ads cost more and to make a profit advertisers have to increase their product prices. In turn the users pay higher prices for the products that are being advertised.
>Cockroach is asking not to take open source and start offering it as a service. Which sounds like completely reasonable thing to do!

But i just wrote "be aware of it", with that license i don't consider it "Free Software", just imagine Apache or Nginx would do that. On the other hand I'm totally fine if they want to protect themself from leeches like Amazon/Google/Oracle/IBM.

Had you used an iPad before? I'm interested in hearing the difference between the two. The Remarkable 2 looks great. I use my iPad primarily as a note-taking/brainstorming tool with the Apple Pencil, Notability and a paper-like screen protector that makes it feel more like paper.
It would have lost significant amounts of law&order and military-friendly votes. He’s clearly not on good terms with military and intelligence hierarchies, but the wider constituencies still largely vote for him; a move like that would have jeopardized that grassroot vote without really firing up any other base (let’s be honest - dems would not have voted for more years under him, once the pardoning happened... they would have clapped and said “finally something decent” and still voted to change).

Now though, it would be a big fuck-you to the establishment figures who fought him internally from day 1, which would suit his image. It could also go some way towards improving his figure in the history books, something most presidents tend to care about once they stop being concerned with everyday political streetfights. It has to be seen if he’s really at that stage though - were he younger, I wouldn’t put past him to challenge again in 4 years.

In my CS university software engineering course we defined several versions with different meanings: error, fault, defect, failure, etc. Some are about the programmer doing something wrong, some are about what the code itself contains after this, others about the actual event when the problem gets triggered etc. I forget which was which. Something like the error is what the programmer makes, the failure is what happens when it gets triggered when used, the defect is the thing in the code (colloquially: bug) if I remember correctly. No idea what "fault" was.

It's actually gotten worse for me with the kindle books... we often get e-credits from Amazon for asking for a day or two latter shipping arrival, and these pile up, and they expire, so...

To the masses they are both “those hackers who revealed secrets”. They occupy roughly the same political space - and arguably Assange was made to suffer significantly more than Snowden. Pardoning one but not the other would be politically inconsistent.
I actually don’t think that is the problem. In addition to the shortage of funds, there’s often a culture of doing most things yourself. When I was a PhD student, I did everything from vacuum systems, electronics, high current equipment, plumbing for cooling water, setting up a real time control system for all the equipment, data collection and analysis, and programmed quantum Monte Carlo simulation that was run on a high performance cluster (on top of writing papers and a thesis). Each of these tasks would have probably been done better by someone specialising in it, but there was certainly no money for that. (I had almost forgotten how much fun I had.)
A bit out of the loop here, apparently: what's wrong with the browser market agreeing on an open source core ?
For me the experience was different. I also knew SQL before, but after learning RA I first was slightly disappointed that SQL wasn’t as clean. But conceptually they’re the same.

I think the interesting Aha moment was the realization that SQL is syntax on top of a mathematical concept. Before I was distracted by the practice of reading and writing stuff to disk with it, if that makes sense.

Google Drive backups option for Whatsapp only applies to Androids with Google Play Services, and for IPhones Whatsapp's only cloud backup option is ICloud. This does not seem close to nefarious at all. NOTE, this is only about cloud backups through the app. If you want you can backup only to your phone and then upload those backups to whatever service you want.

The complaint about this is simply ridiculous, and in fact kind of shows the misleading nature of it's framing. Not that I expect more of that AG.

Intent.

When your parent put sugar in a cake, they you to enjoy the cake for you own enjoyment. They will dose the cake, and make you experience the cake in this context.

Kinder wants you to enjoy it so you buy it again. The goal is not the enjoyment but the reaction after it. Dosing the sugar, the other ingredient, the context you will consume it and the so on are going to be completely different.

When you hear "Ride of the Valkyries" being played in apocalypse now, you don't hear the voice of the director suggesting "now you should feel this particular way, because I said so". You just enjoy the craft.

You can't feel the desire of creating and sharing something, rather you are given a product designed to specs.

> Well, imo VSCode does require some significant configuration, it's not as usable out of the box

Indeed that's what I conclude too. But if I have to configure, tbh I would much rather do it in Emacs lisp than editing JSON. The elisp is a very pleasant and full-fledged programming language that's well integrated and abstracted for configuration. It's also plaintext so can be version controlled like you said.

The "devcontainer" thing does sound like a very nice feature. I am intrigued about how it works though. One can always use volumes/bind mounts to edit source with host Emacs alright, but things like Language Server needs to know location of say 3rd party Python dependencies installed only in the container to provide autocompletion for them. Can VSCode really do completion when language server runs in host, but dependencies are only installed in the container? That would be a nice out of the box feature for sure.

I’m an old. I don’t like stories. But clearly they drive content consumption in a way that marketers and publishers can see, and that’s why they are trending.

I’ve clicked around and my best guess is that it’s the speed of transitioning from one story to the next that triggers increased consumption.

A cynic could suggest that the realization is that for millions of people, scrolling is too much work.

But in the 5 minutes I spent clicking through Instagram “reels” and getting bummed out at what is popular, I ‘engaged’ with dozens of stories. I doubt I would have waded so deep if it wasn’t as instantaneous. Like greased rails.
We migrated a medium-to-large (in terms of model complexity, not rows), from PG to CR about a year ago. It went pretty smoothly, but you'll definetly run into issues. (Very happy overall, btw)

Every release has improved the compatibility story at an impressive rate.

The 20.2 released added partial indexes and enums, which helped close the gap in our app(though, enums don't support binary encoding yet, so might not work with your pg driver (1))

Things that are still an issue for us (all can be worked around):

1 - Can't defer foreign key checks

2 - No pg_trgm

3 - Can't tell if an upsert was an insert or an update

4 - No triggers (this is pretty huge)

I’m more inclined to give line employees a break though, because toxic management is so common. Sure, there are bad apples. But the prevalence is way overblown and the “one bad hire” who is a “toxic employee” is mostly a myth.

Rather it’s usually management setting things up for failure, not listening to employees, not giving support or required resources. And the line employee will get scapegoated while the bad management a few levels above will fail up and deflect any blame.
I was also astonished that someone who uses i3 would use a fat client for Zoom. I use all video conference tools(Whereby, WebEx, Teams, BlueJeans) in the browser and I haven't had a problem with i3. Video conference tool gets its own workspace and it's done.

My i3 is also set to open new windows in the workspace that triggered the new window so I never have to go fishing for any occasional pop-up, it's where it belongs.
Agree. Perhaps SOMEONE somewhere knows that you gave a donation, but functionally, many donations are as good as anonymous. If I give $300 (or even $3000) to a food bank, no one is calling to give me a congratulations. Do they have my name? Yes. They might send an automated thank you. And they DEFINITELY will reach out for future donations. But it doesn’t have a meaningful effect on my reputation.

Writing a Database in Go – Part One
There are several problems with this idea. As you say this infrastructure is important, but it's too important to centralise it and put into government's hands. If there is a government monopoly you will not be able to shop around, choose best service and will have to deal with

* poor service, since there will be no competition and little to no incentives to improve it

* lack of privacy, since law enforcements and random officials will absolutely want to have full access (and sure, Google has access to my emails, but I can use Protonmail instead and trust them way more not to abuse this access than I would trust "DMV for email")

* even further centralisation of power - it would be much easier to apply pressure to people doing anything "anti-government" (I believe there are already examples of this with people being cut from all-encompassing WeChat in China, but I don't have references at hand)

There is also an argument against frivolous expansion of human rights with anything not absolutely necessary or too specific.
This topic is interesting to me but it’s so hard to learn about. The reporting seems to have so much lack of detail it’s weird. It’s all summaries of statements without sources.

I understand that Gebru may feel dehumanized but without seeing the email that she references, it’s hard for me to understand her statement. If the CEO of Google painted her as “an angry black woman” then that’s a really big deal. If she feels that way, then that’s not as unique to me as people frequently feel upset and about ways that are unique to them, but not interesting to me.

Similarly with the fire/resign thing. These stories seem to all say “fire” even though that seems contested by Google for what happened. Without reading her actual ultimatum email then it’s hard for me to tell.

So it’s frustrating that what I want to know, these stories don’t cover. They are statements from Gebru that seem vague, easily substantiated, but not substantiated. So the articles seem to just focus on someone’s feelings.
I think they only analyze 'latest' tag:

"If someone wants to learn something you cannot stop them and if someone does not want to learn something you cannot force them"
Seems quite a deep review - but clearly takes a side from the get-go with little indication there are different perspectives on this issue (and no clear view as to exactly what happened yet to outsiders).

Articles like this would hold more power if the bias was removed or at least acknowledged with pointers to alternative takes.
Possible, but seems unlikely.

In Bozen they mass-tested 65% of the population over the course of 3 days.

They were getting 540 positive PCR tests every 100k people a week in the week before the mass screening; the latter yielded 900 positive antigen results every 100k people; they got 435 positive PCR tests every 100k people in the week after the screening.

This 20% reduction in positive PCR tests seems mostly due to the lockdown, given that the week before the mass screening the reduction had been even greater, 32%.
Can you elaborate? The argument is that AMP is part of the open web, that it’s an open standard everyone can use and lots of people do use. That doesn’t exonerate Google for (allegedly) using anticompetitive practices to push and shape the standard, but I can’t see a critique of AMP as a project that wouldn’t apply equally well to WHATWG’s management of HTML. I think this is something where a lot of people just don’t know how the sausage is made.
These are antigen tests, not antibody tests.
Just saved me big time! Just changed it to be correct... I often drop the negative when typing / writing. Makes no sense to me... I think the negative but just don't write or type it.

The tvtropes article itself notes that it isn't necessarily bad, which is interesting, and that it happened right after the very first season as well - such that the 'golden era' had already had quite a bit of flanderization. At some point it ruins the characters, of course.

If memory serves me, and it’s late so I don’t want to go research right now, original copyright in the US was 20 years + 20 more if the author was still alive.

You want works to outlast a person in the pathological (edge) case, which the old law supported because, if you’re an author and you release your most recent work a year before you die, you want the spouse you leave behind to profit despite your absence.

Imagine being a sick old man that wants to write one last book and some carnivorous movie company refuses to pay you for the movie rights because you’re about to die anyway. That’s not really protecting the author as copyright is intended.

Cockroach is asking not to take open source and start offering it as a service. Which sounds like completely reasonable thing to do!

the BSL is not an open source license, but I can see where they are coming from, and I don't have a problem with it. With the one exception than I bet it will slow adoption, which is really just selfish on my part, because I want to use it and it will be an easier sell the more people are aware of it. Honestly I'm hoping that postgres just adopts the best parts of cockroach and i won't need to keep bringing it up to grossed out managers.
