OK, looking a bit at their filing, I appear to have been mistaken. Their claim is on code written after the sale by Novell.

For those with less-than-perfect memories: AT&T sold UNIX (all of it) to Novell. Novell sold some pieces to the Santa Cruz operation, who sold everything they had to Caldera, who became SCO, who went bankrupt and sold off the remaining assets to Xinuos. Code written by AT&T and Novell remained with Novell (this was the topic of the SCO v Novell case). Code written after the sale is the topic of this case.

It is also the topic of the last remaining claim in the SCO v IBM case which, if I understand correctly, has still not been settled, even though the stay on the case has been lifted for just under three years. (If it has finally been terminated, and someone could point me to the resolution, I would be grateful.) I don't know if this is Xinuos claiming that they bought the right to sue when they bought the rest of SCO's assets, or if they don't actually have the right to sue, or if both suits can actually go forward. But the claim seems to be the same: IBM got access to the code through Project Monterrey (and only through that), didn't meet the terms of the agreement, and kept the code anyway.

The only thing new is the claim that IBM's purchase of Red Hat was anticompetitive. I'm not an antitrust expert, but that merger was a year and a half ago, and it seems to me to be a bit late to complain about it. Where was their complaint when the merger was going down? This seems like just throwing more mud at the wall to see if it will stick. "Hey, since we're filing a lawsuit anyway, let's throw this in!" As I said, not an expert (nor any kind of a lawyer), but I suspect that part won't fly.
I have seen this claim multiple times, and I am yet to find any specific example of a politician who has not addressed these issues. I have seen decisions made that I disagreed with, but not because they didn't consider these issues. I have seen a lot of work at all different levels of government put into addressing them.

What would it have to look like for you to feel that politicians and others in power were taking these issues seriously?
Seconded. Overleaf has had a substantial positive impact on my life/work.

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable could explain it to me, but uncompressing the files automatically doesn't seem like that big a deal to me. The much bigger sin appears to be allowing symlinks or a reference of any kind outside of a sandboxed directory.

Oh, it's going to be very simple. Tracking satellite receivers is a common military problem, they will purchase electronic warfare aircraft (often with the help of the US government), then locate the emitters and shoot those people.

Alternatively, they can threaten SpaceX's satellites to either comply or be shot down or jammed with highly powerful directional jammer pointed at the satellite.
ORO Health | Infrastructure as Coder (DevOps?) | Montreal/Canada | Full-Time | FLEXIBLE (=~REMOTE but EST tz compatible + Canada)

In 2018, Canada, two dermatologists and the business analyst brother decided there had to be a better way to care for patients and thus founded DermaGO.ca : the first virtual private dermatology clinic in Canada.

Since the launch, other clinics and health professionals expressed interest in the concept and wanted a medicine platform of their own.

With COVID and seeing no one offering better, we decided it was time to rebirth DermaGO into a white-labeled, highly secure, patient-and-doctor friendly platform that empowers all health practioners to create their own virtual clinic with no coding or design skills and provide asynchronous interaction-efficient high-quality care.

Team: currently composed of 4 Software Engineers and 2 Data Scientists, the CTO (me) a COO and a lot of advisors and excellent contractors (ux, acquisition, marketing and so on) and we’re adding more!

A lot is happening for us that I can’t really talk about, but you get the hint :-) And yes, business-wise US is on the radar, so is the world

POSITION: https://orohealth.breezy.hr/p/2b88107c3a8b-devops-infrastruc...

I fell in love with IaC and particularly Pulumi (I’m always ok to change my mind though, come convince me). Since I’m a programmer at heart that has many many years of managing servers, then clusters, the openstack clusters, then clouds, and had to be the first DevOps for my nascent team, it was the obvious choice to me.

If you never used Pulumi but you ARE a Software Crafter and you know your stuff around Tier1 clouds, containers, SSL, compliance, SecOps and/or you dabbled into Terraform, Ansible or any form of GitOps, we should talk!

DISCLAIMER: We’re looking for talent, but we don’t have the admin nor the bandwidth to manage more than around Montreal right now plus-minus 3 hours. We do not require onsite at all though and never will.

WHAT? CANADA? If you are not in Canada but fit the profile and want to consider a country and a region with universal healthcare, lots of sun *and snow*, a bit more taxes but with perks (some good, some bad :-p), the French joie de vivre (aka obsession for Wine and Cheese) wrapped into the Canadian niceties and pragmatism, we’re open to help you emigrate (if you’re eligible...)

MONTREAL? DO I NEED TO SPEAK FRENCH? No you don’t. Stop spreading these falsehoods Torontonians!

So, does this mean America is ... doing better than Europe and Canada w/ covid? I mean I know we have aggressively rolled out vaccines, but we've never really been a "leader" since the pandemic started, except in cases and number of dead..

This pattern keeps happening in the ethernet switching space: vendors get sick of price increases by the major merchant silicon vendors, start considering new products and startups. Merchant silicon vendors lower prices to wipe out startups. Startups get bought out by Broadcom/Marvell/... The large merchant silicon vendors increase prices again due to a lack of competition. Somehow I don't think Amazon is going to be the one to break this repeating cycle for more than an iteration or so.

> The childhood memories we retain most searingly tend to involve shame.

When I was in kindergarten it was cold one day, but I didn't have a coat. The teacher pulled a pink sweater out of the lost and found and made me wear it. Even though I think it is hilarious now, I can still remember my extreme mortification at having to wear a "girl" color. That is probably my second earliest memory (the only earlier memory I have is watching squirrels outside my bedroom window while standing in my crib).
I think the people of Myanmar are more afraid of the government than the government is of them. That's kind of the important part of that idiom there.
It doesn't seem editor agnostic to me. It seems geared towards vscode.

The idea is also not new - python has had docstrings since the 90s. They never thought to show the full definition on hover or autocomplete, probably because it's noise most of the time, but a lot of people seem to like it.
That is, unless they're part of the unlucky 5% to be slaughtered in the invasion.

I understand permission fatigue but this lack of control is, to me, blatantly user-hostile.

If you have more details on this, please share. You seemed very convinced of your initial claims on how Microsoft reacts to contentious acts by employees against the company, so I imagined it must be evidence based. I really would like to know.

>and it takes fifteen seconds to sell $10,000,000 worth of FIL for USD.

That's an oversimplification. If you dumped ~ $10m of FIL in such a short time, you'd undoubtedly drive the price down while doing so.

Right now, Kraken shows that selling ~ 1000 FIL would drive the price down by over 1% and the support only gets worse from there.
to extend that to its logical conclusion, if you have full access to the hardware, many things are possible. so you've stolen a desktop computer and it has unbreakable full disk encryption, but you don't care about the data, you just want to use the computer? remove the M.2 NVME SSD and replace it with your own, install a new operating system.

or boot the thing from a dban ISO and wipe the SSD, re-use it.

Here’s a fun fact for you. When I talk to my wife, and she tells me things about work, I don’t say “citation needed”; nor would I change that in response to whinging demands from the peanut gallery, and doubly not as followup from that of a comment/opinion/anecdote-driven website as riddled with bad-faith weasels as this one.

Which is, of course, in part, why I’m still married.

Alternatively, for a related experience, since you're on rotation, try going up to your CMO and demanding evidence for some off-the-cuff remark they've made about their own professional choices. Good luck.
I really think that nature's domain name causes people to misjudge articles like this. Nature is a very very reputable journal, but the domain (nature.com) hosts all of their (albeit still very nice) derivative journals.

To the casual observer who doesn't click the link (and just reads the headline on HN), it appears that many articles are Nature articles, when in-fact, they are articles from other journals.

This is published in Translational Psychiatry, which is still a reputable journal by all measures, but it appears to be in Nature by domain alone. The difference between Nature and its sub-journals are quite significant, since Nature is reserved for the "cream of the crop." So, to the casual observer, it may appear as a larger breakthrough than it may be.

I only point this out because I've definitely had the "ooh, a new article in Nature on HN?" reaction, only to be left wanting more because the article isn't a Nature article.
A lot of the magic of this post is that it runs and does cool things in addition to the dialogue. An artist incorporating programming into their art installation makes me think of what hackers often do in movies. It's a bunch of gibberish that's intended to look like code. Or technobabble in sci-fi shows, where it's intended to evoke science so smart the protagonist isn't supposed to understand it, but if you do know the field, you recognize it as gibberish. Or a physics t shirt someone buys you because "you're into science, right?" even though it's just a job to you and you're actually a biologist. Or maybe a tattoo of chinese characters that are beautifully drawn but are actually gibberish.

It's the difference between a thing and something intended to evoke that thing, which often comes off as a lazy caricature. If you can't see past the surface level, it evokes what is intended. If you can see past it, but you also see the intent, it's like a charade that falls apart. You know that if you were trying to evoke that same idea, you'd do it a different way that would still evoke the intended thing at the surface level, and additionally evoking the intended feeling in people who understand the subject matter being used.

In the case of OP, imagine if it were just poetry with indentation and parentheses and semicolons in places that make it look like code, maybe with some jquery mixed in with fortran and excel functions. If they mixed jquery with fortran and excel to juxtapose them or something, that's one thing. If they do it because "well that looks like code to me" it's another thing.

I think it really is a feeling similar to being lazily caricatured that drives people to criticize. It fails to evoke the thing the artist intends it to evoke to people who see below the surface.

I don't use mutt with IMAP, so the last of those CVE issues that could have an effect was in 2005. And most of the rest of code execution bugs are related to IMAP. Pretty good.

Though I certainly shouldn't trust mutt to be bug free, given that it processes data that someone can send me freely. Gladly TUI programs are fairly easy to isolate in their own UNIX user account.

About 120kya Northwest Greenland was 8C warmer than today and lost about 400km (about 20%) of its thickness.

"In a 2013 study published in Nature, 133 researchers analyzed a Greenland ice core from the Eemian interglacial. They concluded that during this geological period, roughly 130,000–115,000 years ago, the GIS (Greenland Ice Sheet) was 8 degrees C warmer than today. This resulted in a thickness decrease of the northwest Greenland ice sheet by 400 ± 250 metres, reaching surface elevations 122,000 years ago of 130 ± 300 metres lower than at present."

You might want to have something like `String concatenate(List<String> strings)` and `List<T> concatenate(List<List<T>> lists)`.

Java won't let you do this because types are erased at compile time, and Java doesn't know exactly what function it's going to call until run time (in order to allow dynamically loading classes). Haskell does allow something similar to this kind of overloading, because Haskell determines what function is going to be called at compile time, before type erasure happens.

Security, mostly - if the proofs fail, it’s not just the data that could be corrupted - bad actors could attack the consensus itself and steal unlimited funds. The params for the proofs could be loosened, at the cost of extra risk of an attack. They’ve gone the safe route and picked challenging parameters that would be uneconomic to brute force attack.
That's a really fair point! If any dork could pop a ceiling tile and get onto the network you've assumed is trusted, that's its own sort of problem.

Whilst we wait on someone knowledgeable I'll butt in, I once listened to a podcast on pentesting: other than zip bombs the issue I see is that other vulns can have code execution exploits against them if only the haxor can get the code on to the host. With automatic uncompression the code can be placed on a host by emailing a user -- no need to convince them to click anything.

Gödel failed to prove inferential undecidablity in foundations
My earliest memory involves a near-death experience. We were visiting my grandparents at their old farmhouse in the country in SC. I was 18 months and managed to disappear from everyone, wandering outside and falling into an old washtub half full of water and leaves. No one ever mentioned to me that this had happened, but when I was a teenager I began having vivid dreams about drowning, talking about the bright colors I could see floating above me and how hard I was trying to climb out of something. I told my Mom about these and the look on her face was remarkable, and she told me about the event, how the family had never talked about it because they were all ashamed at having lost sight of me, and how my lips had turned blue when they finally found me.
