And it absolutely still happens at Sequential (where I work), speaking as an engineer who is also a musician and works very closely with artists to hear what they want and build tools that they get super inspired by. I couldn't imagine building what we build without the close artist engagements that we focus on. Every single person at our company is a musician, which I've found out is not commonplace in our industry.
A lot of things we think are static do actually change quite a bit. Tiny changes add up to a lot over time. I once buried a little canister with some money inside (in a shallow hole next to a distinctive tree) in the woods while hiking, just to see if anyone would find it. I came back a couple months later, took me a very long time to find, I did eventually, and it was much, much deeper than I had buried it. The soil must have shifted way more than I thought it would in that short period of time but it's not something you would ever notice from day to day.
I can certainly imagine putting a token into a deploy script in the same directory as a python package's repo. From there, it's a typo away from getting added and committed to the repo. So, it's better to keep those tokens elsewhere.

Why not use a phone for zoom calls? This way that doesn’t impact your hotspot data cap? Another thing to consider is an iPad LTE and an unlimited plan for that.
Quite a few years ago, I was approached by my then-employer who asked me if I programmed in my spare time outside of work, and I said I did. He said, "great, I have this outside software that I sell, and I'd like somebody to work on it outside of work hours, but I don't want to pay you to work on it." He was disappointed to learn that I wasn't as "passionate" as he had hoped.
The article seems to indicate that this person was not involved, and had no knowledge. They were also never charged.

I mean, the situation itself is quite horrifying, but I'm unclear as to why this should cause such an uproar. Guilt-by-association is already tough, but now guilt-by-relation? That's going to be tough the world around.
It’s likely that nVidia planned for more RAM on these cards early in the development process. Early rumors pointed to 16GB models of the 3070 and 20GB models of the 3080.

Due to chip shortages, most likely, we got the smaller amount of RAM on production models. This leads to weird situations where the 3060 has more RAM (12GB) than the 3070 (8GB) and 3080 (10GB). nVidia must use RAM in multiples of the bus width, so the only other option was 16GB for the 3070, which is what this person enabled by swapping chips.

nVidia doesn’t care about modders swapping memory chips because it’s not a threat to their sales. I say this as someone who has all of the hot air rework equipment and experience to do this swap: It’s not going to become a common mod. It’s likely not even feasible for someone to offer as a service due to the risk involved in shipping expensive GPUs two ways and then reworking the PCB with hard to source chips that can’t necessarily be guaranteed to work at the exact speeds expected by the drivers.

It’s also possible that this mod will be rendered useless if a future driver update introduces different timing parameters, such as when nVidia releases official 16GB 3070 models.
I can probably give the impression of a passionate developer because I'm self-taught and one of the things I like to do in my free time is write code.

Still clock out at 5, though, and you can be sure I'm not going to put work Slack on my personal phone. My time is my time.
I traveled across Asia for 3 years. I had a Mission Workshop Radian and attached Spar which I loved. As for data you should expect to do most of your work in co-working or coffee shop spaces as cellular data still doesn't cut it if you're on video calls all day. As for the rest of my tech set-up (loosely):.

* Bose in ear noise cancelling headphones with microphone

* 2xPhones (A pixel 2 main and Huawei P30 Light backup) this is because I'd be screwed if I didn't have a phone.

* Lenovo X1

* RAV 90w charger with two USBC ports

* iPad pro (downloaded Netflix content, games, books)

* Earpod Pros

* A 1000mah charger I got as conference swag

* Misc cables/micro SD cards

Largely I considered a drink or food every two hours as rent for coffee shop space where I would do bandwidth heavy work (and charging). Another 2-4 hours of work I would hotspot my phone and largely use ssh.
This area is mostly boring business CRUD. I have the qualification problem too. Nobody wants to train, and nobody needs FileNet or Neoxam resources.

If you have N scripts that produce N plots for a paper, you can't just drop them in a makefile or you will pay the 15 second penalty over and over and over every time you build. You can't reset the interactive session as a matter of habit to aggressively control state build-up. Even iterating on a dashboard becomes painful with a long startup time. You have to treat your Julia session like a child, not like cattle. That's limiting and not everyone wants to it, especially now that they are used to treating python sessions like cattle and reaping the benefits.
I'd much prefer a list of phones where people have been able to crack the bootloader open completely and then I can just install Linux on top of it.

FYI pypi tokens look like pypi-9NX39cdNn0AH1cCl1bMT48eKzf4Rhvw1mipk1FZTPrpR9

The integration means that GitHub knows to recognize this format, and calls some API of pypi.org when it finds one so PyPI can revoke it.

As always, please allow me to lament that we don't have a standard for this, such as secret-token:pypi.org/9NX39cdNn0AH1cCl1bMT48eKzf4Rhvw1mipk1FZTPrpR9, which would let any system know that this string is a secret and that pypi.org should be notified (for example via POST pypi.org/.well-know/compromised-secret).

Several of them made and stayed on the front page for a decent amount of time. They mostly devolved into flame wars. This gets two penalties, when it happens: some people flag the post because its comment section is useless and obnoxious; the flame war detector kicks in and starts dropping it down the list.

Based on the initial comments here, expect that to happen again with this post.

As a person who has been using NoScript or the equivalent for years now, I appreciate this. It also helps out your clients. Instead of a blank page or a broken one, I would now presumably see a functioning page. While they may not get any ad revenue through me, I can't buy their product if they don't let me on the site. Or review it, or tell people about it, etc. There would be a chance now that I would come away from their website with a positive impression instead of hitting the back button and trying the next search result or just writing them off completely.

If you care about privacy at all, the web is a very broken place.
"But I agree with you that the placement and the fact that the banner blocks the whole website is unconvenient."
Doesn't that add manufacturing complexity? If you have multiple firmwares it's possible to flash the wrong one at the factory leading to a lot of pain if they get out to the market before this is discovered (your news 16 GB card is only using 8 GB of memory). This current scheme means there is one firmware to rule them all and the configuration of the hardware itself acts as the selector.

>He uses knowledge from the agricultural industry instead of the "organic" approach.

I can't help but wonder if his knowledge applies specifically to cases where chemicals like fungicide are used. There are quite a few species of soil fungus that are beneficial to plants, including root protection, but these can be wiped out by fungicides, leaving a blank slate for harmful fungus and other pests to take hold. So it would make sense that if there were no beneficial fungus present, then organic matter would be a rot threat.
I find it odd that I've had to click through a few times on both hacker news and reddit to get the info for the person in question.

> Aimee Challenor, who currently works at reddit, is, at best, sympathetic to pedophilia. She has hired her father after he raped and tortured a 10 year old girl, a fact I find it hard to believe that she wasn't aware of, due to her living with him at the time of the crime, which happened in their house over several days. Her boyfriend also posted clearly pedophilic tweets, and he is now her husband.

The world absolutely doesn't begin and end with middle class in the USA. But you're just wrong to say "DoorDash mostly solved problems for a small part of reasonably wealthy people, mostly without families, living in big cities". There were times it or a competitor were a godsend for my not-quite-middle-class sister, with five children to feed, who lives in a small city a half hour from Cincinnati.
We're having a bit of a debate about this internally as the company I work for is struggling to hire good candidates. For a while we've had a take-home test and that has increased our success rate somewhat. But as you say, we really don't want to lay unreasonable expectations on people who may have other obligations, but we've had many people in the past who've interviewed very well but turned out to be completely incompetent when assigned to a real project.

Maybe we're just really bad at interviews? It probably doesn't help that management here is almost entirely non-technical. There's usually a developer or two sitting in on the interview to try and balance it out, but I don't think any of us would consider ourselves particularly good at interviewing people.

Technically everyone using Rails right now may be in violation of the GPL. It doesn't matter that the version of the gem being used claims to be MIT, that's not how licensing/copyright works.

Github Enterprise licensees could try hit-up GitHub for source code!

EDIT: License in question is GPL, not Affero GPL. So github.com is not covered. However, Github Enterprise is.

In all likelihood, Github wouldn't comply, as Github Enterprise licensees have no such license/clause in effect with Github. It'd then be down to the shared-mime-info's copyright holders to take the matter to court.

Would be an interesting court case.

Some people in the Github issue commented that the XML "database" in question could be used under fair use. That'd be the logical defense. There's been many court cases where the "copyrighted material" is a representation of facts, as opposed to a "creative work", and thus has not been eligible for copyright protection.

It's probably also worth noting that "ignorance" is rarely an accepted defense in court.
In the example you brought up, I'd try to meter (and value-price) the output, not on the collection. You have to make sure that your margins on the output of the service covers the cost of passively collecting and storing the data.

Per-seat pricing can be value-based as well. "value based pricing" in the context of a per-seat license is about identifying the value of the 'seat' to the user, rather than calculating the pricing based on your own costs plus some projected profit margin.

Regarding seats and SSO, check out https://sso.tax. Many companies will have a seat based license that has a free tier and as soon as you need/want SSO (because you see the value) you're now cast into a very expensive pricing model. Personally I hate being on the receiving end of this, but they're using the free feature-set as a demand driver, and as soon as you want to rely on the service in an authenticated master, they've now got you locked in.
The single best thing we can do to restore privacy and challenge screwy law enforcement is to end Third Party Doctrine.

The third-party doctrine is a United States legal doctrine that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers (ISPs), and e-mail servers—have "no reasonable expectation of privacy." A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant.

Performance wise putting things (i.e., data, compute power, networking, etc) nearer clients is the only way to somehow 'beat' mother-nature. That's why latency really is the main feature in edge computing. Point (1) is already realized by Cloud computing (or autonomic computing, see [1]). (2) has been more focused nowadays but it has also been a problem in Cloud, but it is not really a "feature" in either settings.

I am fairly sure MIT's license is considered an "appropriate legal notice."
From https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/dealing-with-customers...:

"When can your customer claim redress?

Be aware that you are legally bound by any public statements you make about your products, especially through advertisements or on labels.

If you are a retailer, your customers can ask for redress under the legal guarantee provided by EU law - if an item:

- doesn't match the product description
- has different qualities from the model advertised or shown to the client
- is not fit for purpose - either its standard purpose or a specific purpose ordered by the customer which you accepted
- doesn't show the quality and performance normal in products of the same type
- wasn't installed correctly - either by you, or by the customer, due to shortcomings in the instructions

IF YOU INFORM your customer that the product you are going to sell has quality problems, they cannot then claim redress from you about this particular defect."<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

You are right and you are wrong. They must provide a 2 year warranty on the functionality of a "Beta Edition Linux SmartPhone" with the following disclaimer "Beta Limited Edition PinePhones are aimed solely at early adopters. More specifically, only intend for these units to find their way into the hands of users with extensive Linux experience". A beta is not expected to function correctly. Hence, there is no justification for return under eu law. People writing these laws aren't idiots.

Additionally, that warranty state works well in other jurisdictions and is fine.

ahhhhhhh, I feel like I got baited.

Right, and since using Javascript has such poor performance over using a native app on iOS, and since developers prefer to use Javascript instead of build multiple native apps, Hermes exists to bring Javascript performance closer to native app performance.

Way better to have a tool that helps Javascript performance than to burden developers with having to write native iOS/Android apps separately
I agree that if the “active participant” model somehow became a better fit for most people than the Apple/Google model, it seems like disruption would be possible.

That’s a big “if” though. Curious if you think there are larger trends that would suggest that the current standard of the “walled garden”/closed software model will become less effective than the “active participant” model in meeting the computing needs of everyday people.
> Which is not at all helpful to you, except possibly to observe: the less you need, the better it is.

Thanks for this.
It's like left-pad all over again.

I wonder how much software will be unbuildable in 10 years time, due to dependencies that can no longer be downloaded. Is there an archive.org for packages?
The build tool I linked to would not have solved the issue. I should have read further into the GH repos to understand how the Gem was contaminated. That's my fault.

I have thoughts on the applicability of the build tool mentioned and its relation to licensing issues in general, but I feel I'm repeating myself. I'm not sure continuing this conversation will be productive, so I'm gonna stop.

> rails is now considered as GPL

no

> mean that GitHub Enterprise is now GPL?

even less so

---

Rails was in a license violating situation, which doesn't make it GPL at all.

Then the outcome of a legal case trying to sue someone who is knowingly using rails which unknowingly pulls in a GPL licensed dependency might be less clean cut as you might think.

Lastly depending on the version of GPL and other factors like non-clean cut interpretations you might be able to argue that a company building a service using rails wouldn't need to make the service GPL even if they use GPL software to do so (if that GPL software is in the backend only!, not if it's in the UI). The reason is that the service is not distributed by them, it stays internally even through it is communicating with a website(html,css,js, not! server side rendering) which was distributed to the user.

because the company is still intact but not it is split in two. It's obvious that there needs to be limits on capitalism when companies get too large that they can dictate what the internet/any market does on a whim because they're the only game in town. Amazon and Google are quickly approaching that if not already there. They can crush competitors on a whim.
It doesn't.

I've been pretty happy with spending most of my time in Costa Rica for nearly a decade or so. The pandemic numbers here have been really low, partly because people are fairly health-conscious here. Anti maskers are basically just gringos nobody likes or want anything to do with here instead of crazy people yelling vitriol in grocery stores. I don't live at the beach, because frankly it's kind of distracting having people come up to you wearing headphones asking why you're working and not vacationing, but if I want I can just go and hang out in a hammock in a less than 6-10 hour bus ride to whichever spot. There's also a LARGE amount of fibre optic internet rollout here, MUCH more than my 1st world home country that seems to be falling apart by the day, so I only have to rely on 3g/4g when the power goes out once in a while. If it stays out longer than my battery lasts I let people know I'm on a bus to find somewhere that isn't out after checking the power company website. Another thing about avoiding the beach is avoiding the hours long blackouts.

As for my setup it's literally just my laptop and some notebooks in my bag. I have two bags, one carry-on and one backpack, and minimalize as much as I can so that if I have to get on a plane for whatever reason in short order I'm pretty much already good to go. The heaviest things I own are probably books, but they're pretty sweet books so I take the weight.

Economic reasons aside — there's historical precedent for Nvidia creating arbitrary limitations in software (and sometimes in dedicated hardware) for their cards.

Famously, many discrete GeForce cards don't play well with virtualized OSes, and there have been some hacky ways to bypass that. This is done because only Quadro cards are blessed by Nvidia to run in "enterprise" environments. Besides this soft lock, there's usually no architectural limitation preventing GeForce cards from working with virtualized OSes if the hypervisor can provide passthrough.

All that to say, it wouldn't be the most shocking news in the world if it turned out they prevent this kind of VRAM modding.

>This is definitely a non-obvious behavior. Browsers historically were tied to their windows

Maybe in Windows, but as long as OS X has been around, and maybe in classic MacOS (Not sure, wasn't a user) applications have been uncoupled from their windows. Closing the last windows has never closed the application. This isn't surprising, and while it's not obvious, it's not like browser are doing something different than any other application.

In my opinion, this has always been a feature of MacOS. I can close the last window of an application without quitting the application (requiring startup again if I want to open another one).
Potentially yes: the supernodes were just other "regular users who had sufficient bandwidth" which could be quite efficient if you were all in, say a remote region with good local bandwidth but little connection back to the rest of the world.
