Eh, if you launch python in powershell there is still a loading delay, since powershell for some crazy reason takes like 30s to launch on a default win10 installation.
Oooof just pushed a fix for that. It's a lot easier to make a theme in multiple 'sittings' instead of all at once. Your themes get stored under your account so you can come back to them later. Also used for posting the themes in the 'hub'. Localstorage seemed too flakey for theme data storage... it would be a really bad experience to lose an hours worth of theme data.
Maybe but I've seen plenty of mass shooter events where they were happy to mention a white shooters name regularly. I'm not sure mentioning a shooters name or not is inherently tied to race. How they describe it and such, I can believe that, but the name, not sure it is that specific.
I use this. It's mostly excellent, though there are some awkward bits, e.g. you can't return `std::string` or `std::vector` by value from Rust to C++. You'll basically always end up with some degree of copying stuff.

The build system is also confusing but I guess that's partly just because it's a really complicated thing to do.

Still, beats doing it all by hand!

Yeah, I'm unsurprised a Leaf does. I also remember that Nissan had a security hole back in 2016 that meant that a bad actor could drain your Leaf's battery with only a VIN.

interesting perspective, but more important reason in my opinion is that Japanese has so simple pronunciation (many vowels and fewer sounds all together), so Japanese people are not accustomed to making those difficult sounds that are in English.
I understand this, and even agree with it up to a point. However, sometimes the gap between worldviews is too large.

Here's a few hypotheticals:

- you're a Christian trying to politely explain to a Satanist that you dislike sacrificing children to Moloch

- you're a transgender trying to politely explain to a rabid transphobe that maybe you have a right to live your life as you see fit

- you're a doctor explaining to someone that vaccines are not a conspiracy to kill the population

- you're someone genuinely scared of the possibility of raised water levels in a few decades talking to the owner of a 3 mpg monster truck

Now, how long do you think you can last being polite? More to the point, WHY?
Reading this article literally just crystallized my life's purpose for me
FOSS software gives other people maximum flexibility to use your software.

FLOSS gives everyone maximum freedom to use, distribute, and modify your software. Including you.

For example, under FOSS, someone can take your software, maybe add some nice features, wrap it up in a shiny package, and sell it as proprietary, closed source software.

You would have to buy a copy to even run the new features, and you would not be licensed to change it.

I think you should use the GPL.

“public domain” is an ambiguous license, which is generally not considered to be free.

Consent for “targeted advertising on its native apps” ...

What targeted ads on native apps? iWork? Messages? Mail? Photos? Safari? I don’t see any ads anywhere.

I do see content suggestions in Music and TV. Even if these are first party agreements between Apple and an artist or publisher, I’d consider that different than third party ad ecosystems, much like NYT selling content-associated ads on its own pages is not same as a retargeted AdWords block.

Maps has a locality aware “Editorial Picks” when you click in the Search box. Some of this feels like ads, as do embedded Yelp contexts and the like. However, I’ve never had the sense the Yelp content was personalized instead of just localized.

App Store certainly appears to try to sell me things, though this doesn’t come as a surprise with the word “Store” in the name so I’m not even mad. Especially since it doesn’t try to sell them to me in iWork, Messages, Mail, Photos, or Safari (where app discovery banners are by the app dev, not Apple). Feels like suggesting future first party purchases based on your prior first party purchases is to a degree expected from a first party store, somehow different from advertising.

There are straight up ads intermingled in article content in the News (magazine reading) app. They appear to be content owner ads versus Apple ads, look to me like “run of site” type ads placed by the content brand since I see the same advertiser when visiting the web domain. A prominent newspaper’s articles are often showing a single car maker’s banners across every article, for example. The ads appear associated with the content versus with me as an individual user, but they certainly could be retargeted, and are the only place I can think of I’m seeing what I’d consider straight up ads in an Apple app. Not sure that counts though since it’s a reader app, any more than seeing AdWords in Safari.
Thank you, these are great - I agree with all them. Going to add these to my list!

As a long time member of the FSF, the criticisms are pretty on point. I wish they would give up on the GNU/Linux battle, and focus more on protecting people's data. The could easily find comrades with numerous other organizations wanting to protect people's data, and then find new organizations willing to join the free software crusade.

It is interesting how much the author knows about free software awhile also completely missing the point of free software. He references a "bad actor" a lot, as if bad actors are only black hat hackers. Instead, a perfect use case is if certain software was free, many forced upgrades or back end services that send data back to companies would be removed instantly. I don't want free software because I want to hack my own code (usually), but because the level of trust I have on free software is much higher since the software was built with respect of the user.

No. That's not what the L in "FLOSS" stands for, and you don't get to just make it so just because you want to popularize your phony bologna term you created.

Estimating AWS EC2 Instances Power Consumption
You're close to the right idea, but "easy to measure" is exactly the problem here. Tickets close is not a meaningful measure of productivity. It's better than commits, though. I've been pushing commits far less frequently since working from home, but it isn't because I'm actually pushing less code. It's because I no longer need to push to a central Git server in order to share with myself between a company-issued laptop I use when I am contributing from home and my office desktop when I'm in the office. I only have code in one place, and I only need to commit and push when I'm confident it's actually working, not as an adhoc sharing mechanism between devices that can't share storage.

Ultimately, the only metric that matters is company value and that has gone through the roof for virtually every company out there in spite of the pandemic. Unfortunately, that seems largely due to central bank action, not because their products have gotten any better, so that confounds any attempt to reduce the causes of value changes to anything you can easily measure at the individual employee level.

I'm glad to see some of Ronan's work get a spotlight. He was one of the early DifferentialEquations.jl users and discussions with him + bug reports really helped guide the SciML project in the right direction. He's one of those Julia community members that really makes OSS development a fantastic experience. You can trace a lot of the 2016-2017 design choices around callbacks to helping his satellite control use cases. Now, that satellite is up there. It's a really nice and personal example of how this "Julia Generation 3" community has grown and matured over the last half decade.
I considered this a little, but I want to optimize for a more robust set of features in the future that would require an account...

Most kids learn to read & write the alphabet in grade 1, although mastering the idiosyncrasies of English spelling takes a bit longer. By comparison, Japanese kids are still grinding their way through the jōyō kanji all the way to grade 12. So, yes, I think this tells you a lot about the complexity of the writing system.
Keep in mind that Sarah Mei also looks through everything in terms of diversity through the american lense of literal black and white skin color[1], completely disregarding the fact that some of these people in Europe - myself included - have had their fair share of racism across Europe even though we are considered "white" in the US. Ask turks how they are treated in Germany or people from the Maghreb region in southern france or Romas even though they're "white caucasian dudes" in these peoples eyes. Besides myself getting pepper sprayed from old Germans myself on the top of my head there is a study in Germany that gives you a 50% less chance of getting hired if you have a non central European name. The self righteousness and ignorance of these people knows no bounds.

No matter how you continue this parable it will become an arms race, invariably.

One very famous such story is the magic oil lamp that kep burning when Massada was under siege. That's as you describe the faith which keeps the flame going.

The problem is in my view rather like Jakob the Liar, Plato's cave parable and the Emperor's new Clothe's. The emperor knows he's naked, but as long as he controls fuel flow, nobody will switch on the light, and if the abstraction is leaky he will be well positioned to throw a huge shadow, waving his arms around.

How to Criticize with Kindness: Philosopher Daniel Dennett on the Four Steps to Arguing Intelligently [0]

1. You should attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly, and fairly that your target says, “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it that way.”

2. You should list any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).

3. You should mention anything you have learned from your target.

4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

> Isn’t something like the MIT License open source but not “free software” in the rms sense because it does not encumber people who build on it to in turn produce free software themselves?

No, the FSF specifically IDENTIFIES MIT as meeting the Free Software Definition, which does not require any such requirement.

Now, Stallman and the FSF have identified reasons that they prefer copyleft licenses like the (A)GPL for many uses, but that isn't the same as considering them the only Free licenses.

> The open source page also says “ The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium must be open-source software.” which would seem to disqualify the GPL.

The GPL explicitly does not put any restrictions on other software merely because if is distributed along with the licensed software.
>I'm not sure how spoofing the GPS would impact other users in a negative way.

You could attack a pokemon gym at your convenience (from your couch, whatever time of the day). This negatively impacts other players because a legit, non-cheating spoofer will have to expend far more effort to do the same thing.

>Can you explain how spoofing GPS data so that people are allowed to play together even though they are not close is bad?

Friend interaction or just interaction in the game has to do with raiding and trading. You can already league battle (pvp) over any distance.

Niantic has made some changes along these lines - main one is the remote raid pass. One person close enough to a gym can invite friends to raid, no spoofing needed. They also upped the trade distance, how close you need to be to interact with a gym/pokestop, etc.

So the answer to your question is the game itself has made changes to address actual in-game scenarios. That leaves spoofing GPS as a way to asymmetrically cheat against gyms, or perhaps trivialize collecting pokemon (some are region locked and so on).
>If my neighbor decides I don't have the right to live anymore and murders me, then I lost my right to live. I only have the rights that everyone around me agrees to let me keep.

... what? No, that's is a massive misunderstanding of the right to life. There is a distinction between natural rights (normative ethical statements) and legal rights (what the legal system actually guarantees you). Natural rights are inalienable - they can neither be granted nor taken away by anyone.

If a state decides to commit genocide against a group of people, that group didn't lose their right to life, the state is simply violating that right.
> At the risk of sounding dumb, who is r0ml?

At the risk of breaking the rules here, he is an absolutely narcissistic nobody. He hasn't done anything special in his career, has no claim to fame, and has no meaningful level of influence in his field... but is willing to gaslight his readers into thinking it just to entertain his own ego.

Biggest red flag: he calls himself a software architect, which seems to be the preferred title for narcissistic software charlatans. Unfortunate really... that label is a pretty good description of what some software engineers actually do, but it has been appropriated by weasels.
So many of these nonprofit software orgs seem to be run like small town churches. Board members are selected through some combination of ideological purity, zeal, and nepotism rather than any sensible measure of competence or efficacy.

Andy's complaint seems to me to be that they are selecting for the wrong kind of ideological purity (i.e. yesteryear's free software ethos instead of today's gender issues), and I think this criticism misses the forest for a tree.
Concerts have fans and performers, but they also have venues. The venues need to be a part of this as well. What's your pitch to them? Why would they give you a cut? Who gets what cut of the pre-purchases?

I think an app should focus on connecting bands and venues, not bands and fans. One uncommon, but useful problem to solve is when a band, say they're travelling from DC on Friday night to Gainesville, FL for a Sunday show, wants to perform somewhere in between the two dates (maybe their show in Asheville, NC got cancelled for some reason). There's a club in Wilmington, NC that wants some live music on Saturday. In that way, you help everyone. Even if we're not talking about touring bands, clubs can post open nights, bands can say we're available in this radius, etc.
The WHO said many things...and didn't say enough...they too are responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths around the world.

I'm sorry, the conclusion that the travel ban was racially motivated is just laughable.

I am singling out NY politicians because they likely seeded the entire nation with this virus at a massive scale when they took political sides rather than come into alignment with what the Trump administration was saying.

You can literally search for and find videos from exactly the same dates going back to January, February and March to confirm this. The Trump Administration was sounding the alarm. Every time Trump or the team would go on TV politicians from New York, Pelosi and Schummer and others would get in front of a camera to oppose it and tell the public everything was fine.

I focus on NY officials because they are likely responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths across the nation. Someone would have to trace the path the virus took in the US. Based on the timeline I would not be surprised if almost every single outburst traces to New York and San Francisco, but mostly NY. That's certainly the case for adjoining states and, I believe, Florida.
Some people are under the impression that the corporate world and open-source are separate, whereas a very significant part of open-source is already corporate. Linux, Chromium, OpenJDK, V8, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Tensor Flow, Elastic Search, Kubernetes, Redis, and many, many other of the biggest, most influential open source projects are overwhelmingly developed by people paid by for-profit corporations to work on those projects. Getting corporations to fund smaller, more independent, projects might be a good idea, but those two worlds are already just one.

> I'm tired of social culture spokespeople flogging technologists over the head

The FSF is a social culture organization. The board of directors of the FSF should not be pure technologists!

Here's what RMS has to say about it: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....

Open source is essentially the same set of software (technology) as free software, but the FSF specifically advocates for "values" and "ethical imperatives" that open source advocates (at the time this article was written) did not see as important.

Replacing the board of the FSF with technologists who aren't focused on social/cultural aspects would turn it into the OSI of the mid-'90s. It would go against everything RMS believes.
