Fair. So then I would augment my comment to focus just on soil production in the wild. Not all of the plant debris is being composted. It gets buried too.
We should not - it's a dangerous idea which gets people's lives destroyed. "Innocent until guilty" is an important concept which mob justice often forgets which causes a lot of damage.

Just because one system is broken, doesn't mean that we have to replace it with another broken one.
Interestingly the Mach-E is built on a homegrown platform. So it looks like Ford will have some options going forward.
another major effect of being in poverty is that it shortens your time-horizon; you seek what small pleasures you have access to because you are under constant financial stress. It's inoptimal, but if it gives people a small reprieve from suffering then it's a worthy investment. Same goes for smoking; it's a terrible long-term decision but it gives people short term stress relief. Attempting to ban either just looks like the middle class imposing their values on the working class and calling it help.

> In most cases, though, these people just didn’t get a very good education, and don’t know how to “just do the math” required to realize that the deal is bad, and that they’d end up with more money (usually far more) by putting each dollar they spend on lottery tickets into a savings account.

You don't have to do the math yourself. The fact that the lottery is -EV is common knowledge (in the sociological sense).

> Lotteries would not, and could not, exist without there being a large number of these people.

It's apparent that poverty is a bad thing. It's not so apparent to me that banning painkillers because broken legs shouldn't exist is a good idea.
I don’t see what are you disagreeing with.

I only mentioned the Mozilla case, but I was talking about the topic in general. Vehemently disagreeing with something is not working with vegans/non-vegans. Denying the other’s existence in case of trans people is unfortunately quite common.

I have strong feeling that besides ML bias there is also selection bias on this type of memes to make them the most outrageous.

That's just bad smart home planning. Any smart home device should work on top of existing physical control. Don't buy smart bulbs that require you to use your phone or voice to control them. Instead, buy smart switches that work just like normal wall switches but also give you smart home/automation possibilities (and work perfectly fine for guests or if the whole smart home system is down).

Don't buy some garage opener that requires internet access to control your garage, hook a smart relay into the existing garage opener.

Make sure there's a physical remote for your TV or sound system in addition to phone control. You can buy third party remotes just for this purpose.

Etc., etc., etc.

Pretty much any smart home project can be done in a way that keeps all physical control in place. Yes, it costs a little more and requires a little more work, but it's the only reasonable solution.
Can confirm. Suzy Q cable. SparkFun sells one. Had to diagnose a Pixelbook that got bricked on an update that Google was refusing to warranty. Thought the cable was bad before someone in Discord suggested that I flip the plug. Still not sure how I feel about a reversible plug having a specific orientation.
I didn't run into problems with recruiting in general being too difficult. Plenty of people are interested in FP and are eager to do it professionally. But recruiting the right mix of people can be a challenge. Scala tends to attract people with an experimental temperament, and scare away more conservative developers. A team needs a healthy mix of both, though. It's the creative tension among different attitudes about how to write code that yields the best work in the long run.

> Having fewer keywords does make Go simpler to learn and simpler to read other peoples code

I partly disagree. It might be easier for you with 30 years of experience. Sysadmin with 8yrs of experience and having to manage operations utilizing Go is not easy.

The code looks neat on the page; under the hood is really un-understandable at times unlike Perl, Ruby, TCL where the code is staring you in the face. The importation of modules off github is fundamentally wrong too.

That's extremely different. Those parts are made by company's that work with car brands to make compliant parts. Changing the software is a totally different problem.
Those who read the extensive threads back in 2019 will remember that Minsky, at the time, commented to one of his associates about the interaction with the young woman. That’s how Stallman heard of it.

And, further, there is no evidence that Minsky took any further action relative to her. Quite the contrary - he seemed bemused by the situation.

Some of the discussion in these threads strongly implies that Minsky had a sexual interaction and that Stallman was defending him. This is wrong, in both cases.
Rust is easily among the top five most complex programming languages ever created (it's in the good company of other low-level languages that follow a similar design philosophy, like C++ and Ada).

Calling Zig's comptime "metaprogramming" is a little misleading when compared to other low-level languages. It is used for the same purpose as metaprogramming in other low-level languages (like macros in C++ and Rust, or templates in C++), but doesn't have any quoting mechanism [1] and doesn't operate at any "higher-level." In fact, Zig's semantics would be unchanged if comptime were executed at runtime. It is more similar to meaprogramming in dynamic language with reflection, with the benefit that related "runtime" errors are actually reported at compile-time. So comptime doesn't increase Zig's complexity. It can be thought of as a pure optimisation.

[1]: Unlike metaprogramming in Rust or C++, Zig's comptime is referentially transparent, i.e. if two terms, x and y, have the same meaning, then, unlike in C++ or Rust, one cannot write a unit e in Zig, such that e(x) and e(y) have different meanings. So the metaprogramming features in C++/Rust are trickier than Zig's.
If we were to use it (which would need gitlab/mattermost integration as mentioned before), we'd very much depend on having a self hosted option.
I mean, that can be true, no? Google does have many ways of tracking you and blocking others from doing it while still doing it themselves certainly helps them maintain their moat.
My hunch is it's somewhat related to the companies who have been using us thus far (other startups, mainly) and also that people are pretty used to it since many of our competitors don't offer a self hosted option.

That being said, maybe it's an interesting way for us to stand out from the crowd.
My perception of old media is that they are doing exactly this, writing click bait things to get clicks and subs. This is true across the board from CNN to NYT to Fox.

At least with substack the incentives are not there for daily churn articles, the journalists have independence to publish when they want to, how they want to, worst case they lost subscribers. I think those incentives make them a lot less likely to make everything about clicks and controversy actually.
Not quite, java binaries are backward compatible (but they are not forward compatible). This means that as long as your runtime and build binaries stay relatively recent (by that I mean java 8 and up at this present date), you won't get any compatibility problem.
And that raises a question. What will readers value? Will they value rigorous writers who may provide discomfort or engaging writers who write to choirs?

IoT runs across a range of use cases and connections. There is a lot of emphasis on WiFi IoT applications, but this makes things hard in other places.

I'm working on various IoT sensor products that require a cellular connection - NB-IoT is preferred for this use case due to the good penetration characteristics. But the problem is that UDP is recommended as the NB-IoT transport layer due to the problem with TCP ack timeouts due to NB-IoT latency. That means that you are practically reduced to MQTT-SN as a data protocol, which in turn means you lose TLS.

There are partial solutions - we whitelist our MQTT data sources (i.e. only the Cellular provider's NB-IoT gateway), and we can verify and whitelist the IDs of all connected devices). But it is a partial and imperfect solution.

> is yet to face consequences

Aside from the destruction of her career (justified), it is extremely unlikely that she won't face very serious consequences given the mountain of evidence.

It's also strange that you think "consequences" are not meaningful if they do not include jail time. Non-violent offenders spending time in jail is not the mark of a healthy society. Financial punishments, travel restrictions, restitution, community service, probationary requirements, future joblessness - all of these are "real" punishments.

It is absolutely still a deterrent to anyone thinking of "copy-cat" her failure. She will likely not emerge from this with anything other than personal bankruptcy, and ongoing non-disposable restitution.

What is the point of incarceration of non-violent offenders?

Let the legal system work before you lay judgement on it. It is intentionally slow in order to be deliberate and consistent. I don't subscribe to the mob-mentality that non-violent white collar offenders deserve long jail sentences.
GitLab is our next planned integration and one of our current paying customers is using mattermost so it's something we're strongly considering.

This is the most well written piece ive read on this. The golden age of the internet (and by proxy piracy) is over. We must tell the stories so that the spirit of newness and innovation burns bright.

The only real negative i have on this other than the rampant abuse of the data machine and the dangers coming in regards to all that, is that for quite a lot of us who lived through this transition, we are left with this compulsion to explore and "unearth" something magical.

We dig every day and are left grasping only at a memory. An imprint left on us of something real. Something magical, raw and unfettered.

Deep human connection for a brief moment was found in cyberspace once. Oneness was found in this place. Unity was seen as acheivable.

We were all one. The revolutionary underground. The hackers, punks, and script kiddies.

Whether or not you went into computer science is irrelevant. If you pulled Warez files off AOL chat servers before punting Bobwit1975 offline via an IM, before booting up napster you remember "that world" and it shaped you.

What we're left with is a hole. a sadness of the end of a major transition. Like when a startup scales and the ceo gets bored and steps down its because its all been built. He was the architect.

We were the architects.

Inused to get paid to break websites.

If i did what i did in 1998 now id be arrested. I almost have been tbh due simply to these drastic changes having taken place so fast.

I guess what im getting at is this...

We lived it. It was wonderful.

We can't sit here all day wishing we could roll back time. We got cozy here, but now its uncomfortable and there's cobwebs all over us.

We have to do the hardest thing ever and go out into the world and find activities and joy in the physical world again somehow and im not sure how we do it.

I fucking miss the OG internet.
C# is definitely not sexy, but it is well documented, and there is plenty of help. I don't see why more companies go this route (not just C#, but any language that fits this). Boring is good when you have a short timeframe and it has to work well with minimal fuss.

> Lakes don’t grow and grow and consume the world.

No, they don't usually grow forever, that's true. But floods happen, and that's bad. Last time methane was this high it was millions of years ago, and Earth had no ice caps. We have already flooded the atmosphere with methane, and the consequences of this will take decades, if not centuries, to play out. Contrary to our current instant-gratification dopamine loops of today, the lag between cause and effect isn't two damn seconds or even one frickin year. So stay tuned.

Was it all from agriculture? We don't know. There's plenty of methane coming from fossil fuel production. Just go read the Wikipedia article I linked. We do know that we are getting close to setting off some very bad feedback loops, as arctic permafrost is starting to thaw, and it's going to produce gobs of methane.
Had the same feeling many years ago when i wanted to learn it. Bought the book of some the main creator (?) behind scala and started to read and experiment with on a weekend. But every chapter was filled with many completely different ways on how to solve something. In the end i decided that scala looks really great, but will be really problematic in a team if everything can be done on so many different styles.

It looked for me like someone wanted to add every existing language into one single language.
Take the deal.

You have no idea what it could be worth. It will likely be worth nothing, as are most new ventures.

You have no real power here at all. The company can rebuild it for not much more than they're offering to pay you. They can also just sue you and win by default because you don't have enough money to fight it.

Also your verbal contract is probably not enforceable. There is a statutory limitation on contracts that aren't signed. I forget what it is, but I think it's one year.

This is a better deal than most people could get. Take it.

I don't think it's fair to treat deforestation as a local issue. Cattle production drives deforestation - whether it's in Brazil or the USA or China, doesn't matter, because we share the atmosphere.

Three-quarters [of global deforestation] is driven by agriculture. Beef production is responsible for 41% of deforestation [...]

What I should say is, not all American beef is fed from naturally occurring pasture land. In fact, a good deal of it is not.
The nice thing about Pipes was (and still is!) that also if you know how to program the same task as script, having it in a flow based UI and using the pre-made blocks really makes these kind of web information retrieval tasks easier. On top of that not having to worry about how to run the pipe or script regularly on a server is nice, though the article here with the self-hostable solution had that hurdle again.

Not to mention this is these are the very first mRNA vaccines deployed in this scale.

We’re going to be honest about long-term risks, and possibilities, we can’t just hand waive this away.

It’ll be fine. But pretending that long term risk isn’t there because we don’t want it to be isn’t very sciencey.

It’s wrong to equate these to previous vaccines in multiple ways.
I was looking at this sensor available from Adafruit (and others): https://www.adafruit.com/product/4867

It's funny that we are both being downvoted by the same people that think they could do better than Stallman, but are usually younger (sometimes much younger) than the FSF itself.

I was merely 10 years old when it was started, so basically FSF is as old as the self conscious me, did only good, never betrayed their ideals, never harmed anyone, but Stallman seems to deserve hatred and disrespect only because he exists and don't care about other people opinions enough to be scared by them or by their mob behaviour.

In the past 35 years the best I could do is convincing less than a hundred people in total to switch to using Linux as their default Operating System at work (of course 99% of them still use proprietary systems at home), Stallman started a visionary movement that changed the way we look at software to its very foundation.

I don't think he gets the credit he deserves for what he did.

Meanwhile you can see people jumping on the BC, NFT, Apple and other bandwagons, praising them, describing them as "the future" despite the pervasive damage to society and environment they are (allegedly or not) producing, only because they own something of that brand.

If only Stallman thought of creating a fashion brand to scam people... how silly of him!
GitLab is our next planned integration.

One of our paying customers uses Mattermost so we've started the process of peeking at their API to see what we're up against. Since we've already got Discord/Slack it probably won't be super tough. That being said, there were plenty of gotchas added Discord after we already had slack since their API was different enough to be a bit annoying at times.
> The people with autism I know abhor what Epstein did as much as anyone else

So did Stallman.

> Stallman said he isn't autistic

His justification is basically that has no trouble with rhythms so he self-diagnosed himself as not having asperger's.

Sure, and no CAFOs (which is somewhat a given/necessary if you're not abusing antibiotics). So grass-and-algae-fed beef in regions where growing crops for human consumption is not very viable, because not everything grows everywhere and because humans (unlike cattle) do not have 4 stomachs with which to process plants that are not particularly nutritious.

Additionally, are you implying that anyone is suggesting beef should be the primary food source for 10B people? Because I've never seen anyone make that claim. You didn't say "how about we reduce meat ag and use something more scalable for feeding most people", which is a stance I agree with. Instead, you said "how about eliminating meat ag altogether", which is what I was replying to.
In contrast I think that going all in on Java scares away people who like to experiment.
Planning to do it soonish, vs ‘must do it immediately and a 100 billion dollar industry is on the line’ are pretty different looking endeavors IMO. It moves up timelines and forces reprioritization of funding and other resources on a massive scale.

Still might not work though, and with this ban it makes the stakes much higher for China if it doesn’t.
The person who started the thread added this comment:

We don't have the source code for this software (it's built in C and delivered to us as compiled packages..).

Sounds like finding their old employees wouldn't help. They need to find old employees of the company that wrote the system and hope they kept a copy of the source code.

Exactly. I am torn on this feature. On one hand this is the correct default for privacy, there are a number of websites with somewhat sensitive information in the URL. But relying on a search engine or webmaster tools to crawl the entire web to see where your traffic is coming from is a real shame. Especially because it will have an inevitable delay.
> “Stallman… is a hard man to like. He is driven, often impatient. His anger can flare at friend as easily as foe. He is uncompromising and persistent; patient in both.”

I advocate for the four freedoms. I think a large chunk of open source development and a large chunk of free software development are essentially a programmer's take on the scientific method.

However-- and bear with me here-- I don't want to be an insufferable asshole to my friends.

Finally-- and again, bear with me-- I don't want to regularly communicate with core allies who are insufferable assholes.
