It goes like this, one of the programmers of the app, hack a smart fridge to irritate their roommate. Then one fine day, just during their biggest demo to an insurance data company, their garage looses power where their servers are located, they hastily build a mobile data centre on a truck. They try to transport it over to their friends lab at a college. Upon reaching there, they notice they forgot to lock the door, and find that their entire equipment got scattered all over the road. Cue some emotional scenes they get a call from insurance guy saying them the app perfomed perfectly well.
Shockingly to these people they realise when one of the programmer hacked the smart fridge he accidentally linked their software to the smart fridge and the smart fridge via its network uploaded the "malware", there by the entire content into its network of all smart fridges there is on earth. Thats when they realise the power of distribution and they go P2P.

It's becoming more common in the US, and at least a few cities now have zoning laws requiring multi-purpose buildings in certain situations. There have been some significant redevelopments of the sort you talk about. They aren't the old style large malls with anchor stores, but are typically laid our like an apartment building or hotel, to maximize the window areas.
Social media, and the tech companies at large, facilitated and created and _exacerbated_ this problem. Its been known for a long time.

Disclosure: I work for AWS, but I am not speaking for my employer. This post is based on my personal workplace experience.

The policy exists to enable collaboration and contribution, not to restrict it. These types of policies are common at companies like Amazon. Google has posted theirs publicly [1], and Amazon policies are similar. I have used the policy to contribute to more than one "upstream" open source software package, for example the Xen hypervisor [2].

Though I wish I had more recent commits, this should demonstrate that even in 2012 patches were flowing to Xen. More work on Xen by others can be found by searching for "amazon.co" in the commits [3].

It's not accurate to imagine that HN (or any sufficiently large internet forum) could have a "serious discussion of pros and cons" of imprisoning rape victims.

As for "productive and curious", https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26501428 (or much worse) is the statistical outcome of a provocation like that.

I was hoping not to see CJD or prions mentioned in this article.

I wonder if these tests for prion diseases included chronic wasting disease that occurs in deer populations. Is there a lot of deer hunting in New Brunswick? If this is a prion disease and it is caused by the same prion as chronic wasting disease, a lot of people are going to die in north america.

Unless you have to interface with a lot of mostly-header/header-only libraries written in C or C++, Rust is just so much more productive to work with than C or C++, even if you don't have to worry about memory unsafety.

> Companies don't have ethics.

In a way, they do. There exists a "company culture", which is the collection of social norms that have formed inside the company. Most members of a group will behave in a way that does not stray too far from these norms.

There is a very good TED Talk by Dan Ariely "Our Buggy Moral Code" which describes how such a culture is facilitating unethical behavior by individuals.
I think like 7-9 years ago when a bunch of family were together, I had plugged a rbpi into the local network in the living room and connected it to a speaker with a mic (I was in a diff room), and I proceeded to have a convo with one of my younger cousins by text to speech with some voices with the `say`command on osx and playing it on the rbpi. They didn't know it was me at first, just some mysterious person they could talk with, but i came clean.

Maybe if you didn't something like that, and showing them how to do it too so they can talk with themselves with the words they typed before, they might start thinking about it a bit deeper. Fun nonetheless!
That is an incidental and unimportant difference, not the main one.

The main difference is that the newer licenses reserve certain rights that affect the use of the software. The GPL does not reserve any rights exclusively to anyone.

Incidentally, copyright holders are not themselves bound by their own public licenses, and that's why some entities use the GPL against its spirit to effectively reserve the right to make proprietary derivatives (or to license that exclusive right separately), but that's not at all part of the GPL. That's because the copyright holders no way of binding themselves to the license term (the best option for that is to assign the copyright to another entity that is committed to protecting the universal rights for everyone).

Yeah it's actually a good bit of fun! One thing I should have included is that it's a great idea to take a skim through the docs first -- that's actually the first thing I did, basically read the docs nearly "cover to cover".
BTW not good as dead. My 92 year old relative with fiabetes and heart disease (heart attack and bypass survivor) survived Covid and covid related pneumonia. It does happen. And now there's the vaccine so get them that.
Does Chatwoot try to replace Front as well?
Expansion being selected for a basic truism of evolution, and not disproven by your examples.
One more thing -- Probably the first thing you should do (before doing kubernetes the hard way) is read the docs[0] cover to cover! They're actually pretty reasonable, and will prep you for all the concepts and discrete pieces you'll need to deal with!

Back when Felleisen was at Rice, he was the faculty sponsor for the Houston Java User Group. I attended some of those meetings, and Prof. Felleisen was mostly sitting quietly in the back of the room. Then a few years ago I ran across HtDP, and I am kicking myself for not noticing what I was missing. I should have dumped the Java meetings and sat in on his classes...

Can I use it for my software?
So, prions are like, a level of "life" below even viruses. They're not alive (and neither are viruses technically). They're essentially just misfolded proteins that when a cell attempts to break the protein apart and use it, it causes a problem in the enzymes that break the protein and forces them to replicate that protein.

Mad cow disease was (is?) a prion disease. Since they're just proteins and not living creatures, even heating them doesn't kill them. They can't infect you like a virus or bacteria can, they basically all do the same thing, cause brain deterioration. They can't mutate to become more virulent, and they are spread through food consumption and usually caused by cannibalism. Whether a prion can damage cells in an animals brain depends on its DNA sequence and the enzymes their cells create to break apart certain proteins. We currently don't know if chronic wasting disease can hurt humans, and there are tons of prions all over the place all the time and you ingest them and most of them don't do anything bad to you. So there's no telling with CWD yet.
I would say that the vast majority of the consumer hard drive market is in the bracket where size matters much more than performance.

I have no idea what fraction of the server market.

But there's also an important thing to note about product families. You talk about using density improvements to make drives smaller, and then install more of them to keep performance up. I think that's reasonable, but I also think that one of the best ways to do that is to reduce the platter count and drive height. In that world, where the main product is thin drives, it takes only a small amount of engineering effort to keep making an XL model that has lower performance but is significantly cheaper per TB.
I have had gripes about usb drive writing in the past, but what you describe does not happen in my install of Ubuntu 20.04.
If we are critical of Trump's lies, and expect media to fact-check Trump's statements, I suppose that we should likewise morally expect media to fact check CIA statements (with a track record of false statements), as opposed to the behavior that Greenwald is criticizing here, i.e. spreading and exaggerating their statements.
It might be time to just shut off slack for a few hours a day.

It's probably frowned upon in some places, but when I _really_ need to focus (during daytime hours), I generally shut down slack, email, my phone, etc.

Generally, the teams I've worked with over the years have been amenable to this. I try to promote it with my teams as well: actual time off (no popping in while on vacation or sick), good sleep, time for focus, shutting off slack - especially when not working.

The last thing any of us need is to burn out because of notification overload. It makes us a stronger team if we're all healthy, well-rested, and able to get things done.
Because knowing you're being lied to and going along with it anyway is demoralizing. Now you have an entire population of cynical, alienated people.

I must be the black sheep of this thread, because I had a completely different experience. Professor Felleisen was never my professor directly, but he did oversee a few of the introductory courses I took, and was very present and had a heavy hand in many of the advanced courses. I also went to him for a number of office hour sessions.

He came off as incredibly self-absorbed and at times, borderline hostile. A sibling poster quoted him as saying "don't put your ego in your code", but in the 4+ years I dealt with him, he was nothing but ego.

I don't doubt his intelligence and obviously he's a very accomplished individual, but I just don't see what everyone else saw in him.

Disclosure: I work for AWS, but I am not speaking for the company.

The Redis case study is a nuanced one. The core Redis code is BSD-3 licensed, and adopted a lightweight community governance model in June of 2020 [1]. This model includes a core team of individuals, and seeks to empower individuals who demonstrate a long-term commitment to Redis as a community-driven project.

The core team is now made up of people who currently work for Redis Labs, AWS, and Alibaba [2].

From my perspective, on the core BSD-3 licensed Redis code, it is in all stakeholders interest to collaborate on the "upstream." There's one Redis, and it is the version that is produced by the Redis development community, and Redis Labs acts as the primary sponsor and steward of the project.

Sorry to be glib, but who the hell cares? If the article is to believed, she worked her way up here in the states and in some part hard work and dedication led to a job that she’s passionate about that’s doing things that are inspiring to the US and really a decent chunk of humans worldwide.

It’s not like the article is claiming that this one success story means all of our gender and inequality problems are solved.
I think more lines need to be drawn here. The claim is "did he say it" and the answer is "yes".

If they wanted to fact check whether "Biden said he didn't care about young people in a disparaging way", that would be fine, but it also is just a moral judgement.

The actual problem here is that Snopes doesn't apply this standard evenly. For a democrat, it "requires context", for a republican, it's just "100% true".
I don't think there's much latest, yeah, we don't really know. Still more a philosophical than experimental question.

There are something between 50 000 and 100 000 people each year who are caught trying to illegally cross southern US border. The number of people who are not caught is obviously a multiple of that. This probably could be dealt with, if the government was actually trying to do that.

> One interesting article I read but can't be bothered to find now mentioned how we could better utilize malls by making top floors of condos.

I found this:

https://www.businessinsider.com/americas-first-shopping-mall...

Here, it appears people were grasping at straws to save a historically important building situated in a fairly convenient spot of a decent size city. So somebody invested $10 million to do this renovation, creating a whopping 48 apartments, many of which are 225 square feet!

Change the configuration file to location=outskirts and mall=half_abandoned_piece_of_shit and I shudder thinking of the business model that would support this at scale.

Whatever that would be, Cinnabon seems about the right smell for it.
This is fairly unrelated, and late enough after this was posted that not many will see this, but it's interesting how marketing works.

I fast-forwarded through an ad for Morning Brew after some youtube video the other day and thought to myself that it might be worth looking into. I'd completely forgotten about it until I saw this come up. Haven't even read the article yet, but I have subscribed.

Had I seen one without the other, I don't think I would have ever noticed or cared about them - or at least not any time soon. But the two in combination got my email address onto their list. This is also that sort of stat that never shows up in analytics dashboards. I googled it and subscribed. There's no way for them to know that the ad, which I barely watched, along with this bit of PR, which I haven't actually read, was what brought me to them (unless they see it here, I suppose).
OSI-aligned might be a better term.

An interesting proof of concept, but separately and precisely controlling the temperature of each 'neuron' to adjust it's activation seems like a nonstarter. The behavior of the NN will change unpredictability if it heats up even a little.

[thinks a bit]

It might be practical to get it working identically at a wide range of temperatures for a binary neural network architecture if you incorporate 'normal' RLUs to round the 'neuron' output to 1s and 0s.
I recently ordered something from Newegg and it was shipped from China to some place 500 miles away from me. They don’t even charge me... the seller does. They only guarantee. So if the seller doesn’t refund me then I have to file a claim through them. Screw that.

My Amazon orders have dropped precipitously and I’m trying to get my girlfriend to stop ordering from there as well. I’ve gotten too many obvious someone-else’s-returns and fake items. Amazon has always been mostly okay with returns. (Once they wanted to charge me for a low value item I had them reship when their system said it was delivered but it wasn’t, but otherwise refunds and returns have been no problem.)

I find myself going to brick-and-mortar stores more often lately, especially since they seem to have gotten curbside pickup down. Otherwise o tend to go straight to the manufacturer when possible.
