That's surprising. Stephen Kings writes at length about his own creative process and habits (he wrote a full book about it, On Writing) and he never mentions Tabitha doing "lots of work" on his novels. He does mention she is an accomplished writer and that he asks her for opinions, but lots of work? Sounds like an urban legend.
> So Saudi Arabia, UAE, Canada and Saudi Arabia are 'stuck' selling natural resources?

Canada maybe not so much, but Saudi Arabia and the UAE? Yeah, and I think they understand that as well. If we have a fusion breakthrough next year, what will Saudi Arabia export besides Wahhabism?

The "Cookie Law" and the GDPR aren't the same thing. I've noticed people make this mistake a few times recently.

The Cookie Law is circa 10 years ago, I think, and is widely considered to be poorly implemented. The GDPR is newer (implemented in 2018) and is widely considered to be a good idea. AFAIK, the GDPR didn't subsume the Cookie Law, but I may be wrong about that.

Sure, and if that's your aim, use one of these licenses from the get go, compete on what you're able to make a living offering. You might find it harder to get that initial buy in, but with open source as a business model you are effectively trading off exclusivity for more widespread adoption.

Don't ride the wave of being open source to success and then try and close the doors after it's established you a position, and don't try and brand non-open source as open source and muddy the waters for the rest of us.

Same. I am concerned they are overlooking how much marketing mind-share Switzerland has globally for chocolate. Ghana could get there but it will not happen overnight, more like a generation. Distribution will also take time.

Give that cocoa is their number 3 export - and I suspect most of that is in raw form - I really hope this doesn’t backfire. They need foreign currency.

A wiser path might be to build up global chocolate brands in parallel to raw exporting, sort of like we’re seeing China move up the value chain from value-added manufacturing to consumer brands.
None of the responses are going to reply to your bit about consensual cannibalism, but it's an excellent point.

Just because we hear a story where a person really wanted to do something or make some choice but they could not, doesn't mean that person needs the right to do that thing.

Choice and rights and liberty aren't the most important things in the world. And people who take the deification of those things to the extreme that they advocate for the kind of Futurama world where everyone can just hop in a suicide booth no questions asked are pushing their beliefs on everyone else without realizing it.
The incentive is that running the infrastructure required to host Sentry is challenging and requires engineering resources. You can choose to use our hosted services for a fraction of the cost (engineers are expensive).

Aside, there seems to be confusion about what “relicensing” means. Even in this hypothetical scenario you’ve outlined, we can’t “relicense” already released software. Many users hosting Sentry internally are using years-old versions happily; they would continue to be able to do so. They could also choose to fork the last permissible version and maintain it themselves.

Personally, I think this scenario (relicensing such that self-hosted users could no longer do so) is incredibly unlikely. I don’t believe it would really do anything to grow the company.

That somehow rapid-release is antithetical to the enterprise is a very archaic view of enterprise computing. Enterprises use cloud HR software, Office suites (MS365 and Google Workspace), Salesforce, etc all the time and those update on a fairly frequent basis. Also, given the need to patch promptly, most forward-looking enterprises have much more responsive systems in place -- including investments in good CI/CD systems to deliver even internal software faster. So they're quite comfortable with the "new normal" of the software industry.

The most used enterprise OS, Windows, is rapid release too -- every 6 months, coincidentally! But there's a LTSB branch you can use. Java releases every 6 months too, and that hasn't halted enterprise adoption. Similarly with C#, not every team jumps to the latest language level just because it was released. Teams should pick language updates at a speed that suits them -- but hopefully not so slowly that moving to newer releases becomes difficult.

Similarly with Go. Why should it be any different with Rust? To the extent that enterprises are using the latter two in massive numbers. The key thing is, as others have noted, is stability and a lack of breaking changes.

That’s already the case with say pollution. People constantly argue about how many people they can kill while it’s still legal. Assisted suicide is hardly a special case.

assisted suicide are similarly significant and therefore worth it.
The biggest question you need to answer at the beginning is if you primarily care about a getting a game done, or just want to play with writing game technology (graphics etc.), while maybe ending up with a finished game in the process. For the former case, you're always better off with an engine (the exception being simple 2d titles), while in the latter you obviously write everything from scratch.
> Saudi Arabia, UAE, Canada and Saudi Arabia are 'stuck' selling natural resources?

Actually yes. The trend happening there is reminiscent of the spice trade. The UAE will stay afloat because of its massive externally invested wealth fund and Canada's liberal policy will keep the talent coming (although imo destroying the local population's affordability). But Saudi Arabia has a huge problem right now, since they squandered a lot of their oil wealth and are in no position to rely on immigrant growth - especially when native Saudis are not employable at all. I know for a fact that the UAE actually monitors intelligence in Saudi Arabia to make sure that a revolt or an insurgency doesn't happen there. OPEC annual meetings are literally a mercantilist exercise.

I was working towards my PhD in machine learning with neural networks in 1990 and I tried to implement backpropagation in Occam in 1989. But gave up and tried using C* on a Connection machine instead. That did not work out well either so I finally wrote a simple C based implementation that ran distributed on a cluster of IBM RS 6000 workstations ( very well I might add) :-)

Parallel computers of the late 80s were a mixed bag - they worked well for a few use cases but in general, they were troublesome and getting access was difficult and expensive.

Content Marketing – The Best Way to Find New Clients
There are many ways in which you can promote your business. In this article, you can find a summary of the most popular marketing strategy types. You can also discover, why content marketing, out of all of the different approaches, offers the highest returns in the long-term. After all, people are looking for valuable content every day. By helping educate them, you can also increase the revenue of your business.
It's easy to explain:

"We can't be bothered to not load trackers without consent so we're going to make calls to all their endpoints and trust they'll respect that and not use the calls themselves to track you"

with a mix of:

The people doing it just know you won't like the explanation so they're not going to.
I've seen this movie 500 times at least (young daughters/nieces).

The first mistake made here is, Disney plots are their own genre, and have been for many years. This plot does break some Disney tropes, but if you look closely, all the beats are there still. As a father and uncle, I appreciate this movie that is less male-centric.

There is a lot of subtly in certain places-- the song between Anna and Hans, "Love is an Open Door" -- while the trap set is abhorrent-- if you understand the lyrics, these characters are not talking about "love", they are talking about second order effects of running from their (psychological) problems. In the song, nobody says the only thing that someone should say, "I love you because you are you." Rather, the song is purposefully shallow, "This is how you make me feel, about me."

Moving on...

The Trolls are equivalent to the "prophecy" trope we see in so much bad entertainment nowadays. They essentially lay out the entire movie for you. This is frighteningly common but one could argue in a movie for children it might be good to let them know whats going on. The Trolls just tell us the prophecy in an amusing manner, instead of being some boring scroll that was found or exposition that was told to us. They get a silly musical number, and honestly why are you watching a Disney movie if you didn't want a silly musical number by cute anthropomorphic, marketable things?

The Trolls advice is indeed baffling... but the motivation to hide Elsa's powers are very well established-- magic is feared and punishable by death, and its even playful use directly harmed Anna. You could probably overlay real world problem here as a metaphor... The fact that the article misses this obvious point makes me wonder about the authenticity of the authors intent at all.

The Trolls are a plot device in a movie that, was overall pretty-ok. They're not evil, they're just an escalator that moves the plot along.

I like that the movie deviated slightly from Disney-standard plots. I don't want my kiddo to think a man needs to save her... we have a rule around here, "She can have as many Barbies as chemistry sets."

Overall, it was a decent film. Fantastic movie, fantastic animation, and an "ok" plot. :-)

Frozen 2 was more... wonderful and silly. I liked the film, the set piece at the denouement was wonderful, but we have to explore that Anna is obviously the spirit of fire, which wasn't broached.

Okay, but if local goods can't be produced at a price that is commensurately low, then the fledgingly country's wage earners have their purchasing power reduced, with less discretionary income to further their own educational and business pursuits. I think this thesis you are referring to takes for granted that the tariffs are going to be responsibly used by the governing class setting them to invest in the long term prospects of their people and not siphoned off into corrupt ends. That's a pretty tall assumption.

Common examples are unconventional water sources in remote places when the real solution is to just give them the same thing the "rich people" are having, namely access to tap water.

It's basically a sort of hero complex. Poverty tourism also falls into this trap. People go to some poor slum or village, help out for a week and then leave. It looks good on social media but you accomplished nothing.

Unicorn isn't GitHub's code, though. So the object-reuse that was the root cause here wasn't their code, and treating your webserver as a working black box is pretty typical (right up until you hit an edge case like this).

And Unicorn is pretty old. It wouldn't surprise me if this object reuse dates back to mongrel's code base, back when doing anything with threads in Ruby would have been unusual.

It's still bad code on unicorn's part (when I got to that part of the post I said "Unicorn does WHAT?" out loud), and GH should have been more careful introducing threads to an environment that didn't have concurrency before, but every step of the chain is pretty understandable IMHO.

Correct, the lower priced international goods help give the population of developing countries more purchasing power with their low wages, but at the cost of those wages never going up significantly.

With openssh in windows, it's been quite easy to run an x server in windows, and use ssh with x forward for gui access.

Well, it does and doesn't. In a way it would be great to have open-source software be the default, but given that anybody with resources can simply take it and build a then non-open-source version of it and polish it or integrate into much higher leverage existing systems, it does pose some questions as towards what licensing open-source software should have in the first place and if it should be infecting or simply have multiple different clauses related to how it's being used.

But yeah, when playing a game make sure you know the rules and all.

For the last security report I had to deal with for a client, the main vulnerabilities were reported against a Google site that was merely linked to from the clients site. Not PCI compliance, so more flexibility in dealing with their incompetence, thankfully.

They reported a number of purported (non-existing) "vulnerabilities" against said Google site that included that it stopped responding to their probing soon after they started hammering it with sketchy requests... They did, to be fair, point out that this could be a defence mechanism, but dinged it for preventing them from checking for other vulnerabilities.

At least I didn't have to explain why that one was nonsense - it was rather obvious to my client that the agency they'd hired were being idiots. It's not like it was difficult to see either - the domain name of the site they'd hit had "google" in it.
There's definitely a few quirks. My biggest annoyance right now is https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/5762 .

Note this only impacts calling the Linux go toolchain from the Windows side (via the /$wsl/ path). Its not an issue inside WSL... but it comes up when you want to say configure Windows IntelliJ/GoLand to use the Go compiler hosted inside of the WSL VM.

> When you say "proper Linux distribution", I assume that's still CLI only? Do you develop with e.g. emacs, vim on WSL, or do you have some IDE with remote running and debugging into WSL? Or have a missed a trick and in fact X/Wayland applications can be run on WSL?

You can run X apps just fine in WSL2 as long as you have a display server running on the Windows side. I use X410. Important to note, Microsoft is working on native Wayland support long term. For what it is worth, I run IntelliJ/GoLand from inside of WSL and use X410 to render the GUI. This works great.
