Useful definition of burnout:

"burnout has three components.

One is the exhaustion — physical and emotional — you feel when you've been too stressed at work for too long.

But burnout also comes with a feeling of cynicism about work. "You know, it's ... 'take this job and shove it' sort of thing," says Maslach. "And you begin to switch from trying to do your very best all the time to do the bare minimum."

The third component, she says, is when you start to blame yourself for it. "Thinking, 'What has gone wrong with me?' 'Why am I not good at this?' 'Why can't I handle it?' "

Also, is this an indictment of working from home? "A new survey found that nearly 90% of respondents in more than 40 countries felt that their work lives were getting worse during the pandemic. And more than 60% felt that they were experiencing burnout often or very often."
This has always been true in our lifetime.

>The law is simply more complicated than `if(audioMatches) then {illegal}`

>Let's say you play a song from the year 1200 on the violin. You have the copyright to that performance. Now, let's say I play the same song, and I play it relatively well. I have the copyright to my performance. Likely, the audio fingerprints match, and Shazam/Google/Content ID will all say that my recording matches yours -- even though my performance was entirely legal, and we both own copyrights to our respective performances.

>The information Google is missing is that it doesn't know that the sheet music we were both reading was authored in 1200.

I'll be honest I don't know anything about copyright but wouldn't solution be for example you as a YouTube content creator can claim the right to that particular song and the other guy as well and know Google has a record in their database that says:

John owns right to 1200 violin song (song id)

Jack owns right to 1200 violin song (song id)

And then IF John's (song id) matches Jack's (song id) don't send copyright strike.

Google needs to build YouTube knowledge graph so it has better awareness on information.
> Prions are generally much more stable and can revert back to dangerous form once denaturing conditions change back.

Indeed I'd imagine that almost definitionally prions must be difficult to denature. Since they are non-living and therefore have no way of "seeking out food," durability is the only way they can compete for reproduction. That is they can only become infectious if their resistance to denaturing was sufficiently high to resist environmental damage until their next target comes around.
No mad cow disease is quite literally Creutzfeld-Jakob disease, it's vCJD, with v standing for "variant", to specifically distinguish it from "normal" CJD which is heritable. usually CJD is caused by a specific mutation in the human prion protein that renders its susceptible to turning into plaques; vCJD does not require this mutation and happens in wild type protein, though it's unclear if other heritable factors can contribute to susceptibility.

(I worked in a protein plaque lab and did a small, inconclusive experiment about cross species CJD transfer)
I'm not sure why you're linking all these when the disease has been identified to most likely be a prion disease, and not a side-effect of herbicides.
I think that consideration of libraries is a good point, I didn't initially consider, and especially relevant for Python.

I think the one connection I'd make back to my original point is that perhaps python becoming the defacto interface for certain libraries is still a reflection of its core values.

This is especially evident with libraries like Tensorflow, which have interfaces for a breadth of languages, and which the core is implemented in C++. The reason people tend to reach for python to call into Tensorflow is still the core platform values of ease of use, rapid prototyping (imo).
It would take an AWFUL lot of crabs acting as logic gates to model a crab brain or an entire crab. A single logic gate by itself is clearly less complex than a soldier crab.

But if you really could model a crab brain perfectly in a turing machine (not clear you can), then let's make a crab brain out of crab logic gates, and then use those mega-crab-brains to make more mega logic gates, and put together a bunch of those to... you'd probably run out of crabs.

> After all, they are designed only to impact companies attempting to sell a SaaS.

Well, that’s the PR message associated with the new wave of source-available licenses (source-available licensing is not, itself, new; its long been an established form of proprietary licensing.) But it doesn’t hold up: you can’t harm competing services providers without harming end users. There is a reason why the very different ideologies of the Free Software Movement and the Open Source Community nevertheless have stably settled on definitions which are virtually identical in practical applications (and even though those communities have very different preferences for licenses within the scope meeting their similar definitions.) It is because the space is not a continuum, and there is a minimum needed in each of a number of axes of liberty for the whole structure not to collapse into something which either community prefers free/open licensing. Particularly, without robust freedom that protects what other people can do with it (including there ability to sell you services built around the software that the original maker might also want to sell), you are not insulated against future actions of the copyright owner restricting the software or its or others services around it.

And this isn’t opaque to the people issuing these licenses; the overt motive is to enhance monetization by preventing licensees from competing with them to sell services: it is to create a moat enabling monopolization and monopoly rents. That’s the explicit idea: to create lock-in that free/open licenses would not support.

The benefit that the licensors seek directly depends on the harms that extend beyond competitors to end users.
I did most of my computer science studies at night when the whole world was asleep. I have quite fond memories of finally finishing a piece of work as the sun was coming up and settling down to sleep at 6am. It was terribly unhealthy, but I learnt so much.
> Using source code that has been licensed under a permissive license in a larger work that is licensed differently (including more restrictions) isn't re-licensing.

Whatever you want to call it is fine. I prefer to think that GPL'd software that incorporates Open Source takes a copy and makes it GPL (especially because if I modify the Open Source at all, my changes are not available under an Open Source license.) Other people who are using that piece of Open Source are not using my copy, which is GPL.
I must say that’s the first time someone said something like this. Not to dismiss your comment, but I don’t think this is a common thing.

I think one could also read it as rat pex, but also not something that ever happened before :)
When you do not want or can't use an SSD for price or reliability concerns.

1) A high-throughput MX/message broker server that is set up and works next 10 years without a need of drive replacement.

2) ZFS SLOG (or any similar scratchpas/transaction log) for 24/7 intensive writes.

In both cases similarly reliable SSD (enterprise ssds) would cost more and require more frequent replacements.

I don't think your conclusion follows. Elastic effectively saying "Nobody can provide our software as a service" doesn't increase the openness of the overall system — it reduces the openness of the system in order to benefit Elastic, which would like a monopoly on providing Elasticsearch as a service.

On one hand, a firewall that accepts incoming port 22 connections isn't that different from only having port 22 listening.

On the other hand, a firewall is an explicit declaration of the ports you want open and who you want them open to, which seems like, at the very least, a useful thing to do. If nothing else it seems like defense in depth. I'm not sure I buy that a system designed around "default deny" is an increase in secrity complexity, certainly it's complexity that would hurt availability, but complexity that would hurt security?

Either way, the real security comes from monitoring the reality of what ports are actually open/listening and verifying a person's assumptions about their systems.

It's not immediately obvious how these DNS lookups are secured. Even with DoH, there is no guarantee that the DNS server isn't returning the wrong IP address.

The idea as a whole looks really good, though.
What’s your workflow like for sublime text
I can pay for a hosted wordpress on BlueHost, FlyWheel, GoDaddy (don't do it!), linode as a "marketplace app", and many many others.

None of these sites need any agreement with the wordpress authors at all, because wordpress is open source, anyone can run it. wordpress owners can't withdraw permission to offer hosted wordpress or make them pay for the right to host, because it's open source.

if I don't like the pricing or service on wordpress.com, I have many options for wordpress-as-a-service. If wordpress.com is the best price/quality, it's because they've done a good job, sure perhaps because they have the most expertise with the software since they write it -- not because they have a license that gives them a monopoly on wordpress hosting.

again, you can’t answer this for somebody you don’t know. she’s in a better position to estimate the probability of being fired and how much it would cost her.

clearly she thought a 100% probability of giving in was more downside than an x% chance of losing her job. the preference is individual even if we know all of the variables, which we don’t.

One thing I'd find interesting would be to compare trust in media during the height of the cold war and McCarthyism to trust in media right now.

My suspicion is that a lot of the erosion and seeming 'politicization' of the media has to do with a bifurcation of domestic politics and the lack of an external enemy rather than something like accuracy or truth on behalf of journalism. With all of its faults I would honestly be surprised if there's a huge variance when it comes to 'factuality', and I'd even guess it's higher today.

Similar kind of ambiguity is even in GPLv2. ie. what does "anything that is normally distributed with..." in section 3 mean and how all that interacts with notionally GPL licensed software which depends on 3rd party components with GPL-incompatible licenses (on Unix-like systems the issue is typically only with OpenSSL but for GPL licensed Windows-only software this is giant can of worms).

What makes SSPL and similar freedom-0 ignoring licenses problematic is that you have to care about these kinds of license ambiguities even if you are just using the software.
