As has been said elsewhere in the comments, the point isn't about the severity of his crimes. The point is that people shouldn't be treated so poorly in prisons.

The idea that it's okay to horribly mistreat prisoners because they're 'bad people' is ghastly and outdated. The purpose of prisons should be to keep dangerous people away from regular people, and to rehabilitate the people capable of rehabilitation, not to punish 'bad people' because it makes us feel good.
Seems pretty analogous to a union like this one: https://www.sagaftra.org/

Actors are certainly not unskilled, many are well paid, and some of the most vocally supportive of the SAG are the extremely well paid ones. They're also involved in an artistic pursuit, and similarly have various other options for converting their talent into cash ("selling out").

> Authors tend to have phases of inspiration, and lulls in between.

Getting inspired is a part of a job. Here's an example:

"Someone once asked Mr. Faulkner if he wrote by inspiration or habit and he said he wrote by inspiration, but luckily inspiration arrived at 9 every morning."

I agree with this. They just wait to find a small breadcrumb trail and then use that construct a case. The identifying the suspect is done through hidden means.
> A concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies.

Ivermectin is one of the most-dosed drugs -- over 3.7 billion doses given worldwide -- with multiple studies showing that the drug is not only effective but safe. To have someone at Merck suggesting there is a "lack of safety" at this point is highly suspect.
Would you mind elaborating on why you dislike ETFs? From my point of view, they provide retail trades the opportunity easily to allocate a portfolio among various sectors. Does your dislike of ETFs extend to "old-school" mutual funds, or is there something about ETFs in particular that turns you off of them?
I tried it and it was pretty cool. You can each look through the code on the source machine independently, and summon each other to the place you're looking at. The changes I made were put into a separate changeset where the host could roll them back.

I don't see how you can teach SA in a book.

Plus, some people are hopelessly clueless and don't see subtle details as well as others.

It's a nice thought to explain some trail signs, but experience, practice, and particular personal qualities likely prove more valuable to think independently. Primitive hunting, street and wilderness intelligence, and practiced SA in everyday life are probably the best teachers.

Its about 5 lines of powershell to install and start OpenSSH. Maybe a few more if you want to automatically inject public keys. Well within possibilities of a user_data script that runs on the first boot of an AWS instance.

My main pain with OpenSSH on Windows was that its an older 7.7 Windows port that gets installed. However 8.1 is finally bundled as part of the recent KB5001391 and fixes some annoying bugs.
I like Windows Server more than Linux. I administer both of them, although I am more familiar with Windows Server which definitely plays a big part in my preference. But I think that's going to be the biggest part of anyone's preference.

Everything you complain about Windows Server not supporting is actually supported, but it was your unfamiliarity that was ultimately the issue. "Linux guy who is unfamiliar with Windows Server prefers Linux" isn't particularly shocking news.

I think HDR can sometimes look ... different. Maybe it's like the early 3d stuff where you got weird motion artifacts until they figured it out.

I watched Gemini Man in 4k HDR and some of the scenes seemed a little like a video game. I think there was sort of an "uncanny valley" sort of thing where you could see detail into the deepest shadow and it looked fake.

On the other hand, 2001 in 4k was awesome.
I originally thought your comment odd and out of context, but now that you mention it, the military's view on sex vs. intimacy hidden within these obtuse documents is a pretty interesting tidbit and entirely within the spirit of the article. This is a multi-million staff count, trillion dollar-a-year organization after all. It is about 80% male and skews very young.
The idea of charging per-chapter (yes, I know it isn't a new model, Charles Dickens, etc) is interesting for:

- the restrictions it'll impose on the authors - it means authors will have to know the entire plot up-front and can't redo or rearrange chapters
- the pressure to have every chapter end with a cliff-hanger or something else to get the user to buy the next chapter
- the effect on the reader (will people finish fewer books?)
> There are thousands of paid fiction authors on Patreon but only 25 earn more than $1,000/month, only six earn more than $2,000/month, and only one earns more than the $5,000/month (and she’s already a bestselling author).

These numbers are off [1]. There are a few creators who do earn more than that, but don't disclose their earnings, only the number of patrons.

Most unions in the US are in fact only made up of skilled workers. Your point is just wrong.
also remarkably ironic that they seem to want their kids to value life outside of technology but then proceed to say that software project licensing is more important than "basic rights and liberty" - completely out-of-touch
From a developers standpoint the writing is terrifying. Designers might find being “in the driver’s seat” attractive but they’ll have to convince developers to use this and with the sell you’re making I think they’ll run the other way. You might want a designer and developer side by side. Developers don’t like making tiny code modifications over and over again at the behest of designers either, so run with that! Developers will want to know how your generated code looks, how it fits into their hand written code, and how easily it will be to augment/mold to their app.

Consumption patterns will have to change.

Regulate the supply side with land use restrictions and restoration of natural habitat; introduce subsidies for underdeveloped and emerging economies to prevent further ecosystem degradation out of economic necessity.

With a set limit on land use, market prices would adjust accordingly (i.e. meat price rises), consumption will reduce (accompanied by some whining) and food innovators get more time and market share for sustainable alternatives.

Unions can at the least increase the standard of pay for everyone other than those few top performers who also know how to negotiate well.

Having to adversarially game out every interaction just to thrive in the world, especially those interactions with entities that have a lot of power to make your life good or bad for a long time, is a serious burden to place on people, and unions can help to alleviate it.

I have also seen and read about the significant disparities in different demographic groups' (e.g. gender) willingness to do things like negotiate, and it can result in broad differences in outcomes.

(There's a lot of ways to work on that kind of issue, and I'm not necessarily trying to claim "unions" is the only or the best one, but they can help to mitigate problems of pay disparity.)
Unfortunately this probably won't be changing any time soon. Similar to the movie industry in CA, execs see game developers as totally replaceable, because they kind of are. There are so many people who are extremely passionate about making games, that they will jump after any opportunity, even when they know it isn't paying what it should. The only thing that might bring about some kind of reform is a union or a change in US/CA/UK labor laws.
This is presented as a rebuttal, but it seems to support my earlier comment that migration and cultural exchange (rather than the latter alone) accounted for the propagation of agrarianism.
In the US, for scifi, the SFWA requires a market to offer 8 cents a word or more, I believe, to be considered a "professional market" for the sake of counting towards membership criteria. That means most of the bigger scifi magazines are exactly at 8c (a very few above)

Very few genre magazines will accept more than 10k words. A handful will accept 20k-25k (Asimov's, Analog, Clarkesworld for example, last I checked). Many will prefer much shorter works.

And of course that is before taking into account the competition - the editor of a relatively minor scifi magazine mention on Twitter that their typical slush pile per issue was 1400-1500 stories.

I've submitted a couple of stories, but decided that effort vs. relatively low potential payoff was so low that since I wouldn't really be profitable when factoring in time spent anyway it was better to just put my stories on my website and pay to promote them to relevant twitter followers to pull in readers for my novel and increase my following at the same time.

The few short stories I've published so far has as a result reached a much wider audience than most of the main scifi magazines reach. E.g. even Analog was reportedly down to 27k readers by 2011.

But of course being able to afford to do that is a pretty privileged position to be in.
She wasn't really talking about the technical side of engineering work here. Her examples are about written works (essays), and works of product design.

It all hinges on the word "work". She's not talking about whether an artifact "works", but about an artifact as "a work".

As great and fun as single image clustering is, it's a pretty niche use-case. Event joyent/smart-os, which went the "other, sensible way", focusing on co-location of storage and processing - turned out to be pretty niche.

Linux had openMosix - didn't see much use outside actual clusters.

If you're not doing the smartos thing, but want full-on ssi - you really (today) need pretty extreme interconnect (ie: infini band or better; high bandwidth, low latency) - every node in you supercomputer needs reasonable access to storage.

The dragonfly people have been working hard on this for years, they've come a long way. But you don't really need it if your workload runs on less than a rack full of servers.

As far as I understand it, anyway.
I know it sounds trite, but it really is supply and demand.

So so so many developers want to build games. The market for developers making things that _aren't_ games is red-hot. But because they REALLY want to develop games, game companies can use them to their limit for low pay.
Phones are like drugs and sex... kids are going to use them, and trying to ban them outright will often lead to destructive behaviors. The effective approach is to teach them boundaries, enforce those boundaries, and let them experiment within those boundaries.

There's something about this that just makes me really sad. I guess being in my late 30's I hold on to the flawed notion that there is sanctity in something that is 'published'.

Does anyone here want to read a book that wasn't written by an expert on the topic? How upset or sad would you feel if you spend several hours reading a book only to discover it was produced by an opportunist who picked that keyword and asked someone in a developing nation with no expertise about the subject to grok some blogs (which might or might not be factually correct) and pad out to make it a 3hr audiobook read.

I'm sorry, I just think it's a shitty thing to be doing. I'm not against making money (I'm a VC!) but it just undermines the integrity of the medium of books because now you have to sort out 'real' knowledgeable authors from this carpet bagging.
The DoD Architecture Framework is a masterpiece.
Code reviews sometimes seem like a micro-management tool: they often boil down to quibbling over things that are quite superficial, while simultaneously ignoring or missing big problems that lurk under the surface. Without some sort of automated linting and code style enforcement, this is what happens in code reviews. They serve as a reminder to the developer that his work is not trusted, and someone else must keep an eye on him at all times. This is very bothersome to people who have been around the block a few times, and are already capable of producing robust, clean product (this is often a pitfall of having someone who's just out of college reviewing code from an experienced dev).

Another problem I've observed in code reviews is that they turn into impromptu redesigning sessions. Most devs are quite opinionated, and code reviews often become an avenue to engage in bikeshedding that can actually harm morale, not to mention velocity and product quality.

The trouble with pairing is that it doesn't remedy these problems effectively, while simultaneously reducing the number of hands doing work. If two people just don't get along, pairing them is not going to magically solve the problem. And I guarantee that there will always be people who simply do not see eye to eye on many important things in most sizable teams.
Modern AAA games involve an absolute ton of work, but the reason for the consistent overtime is that abusive labor practices have become institutionalized within the industry in the US. The EA lawsuit is a famous example, but truly is just the tip of the iceberg. Most gamedevs become personally invested in what they're doing enough that the studios/publishers know they can underpay and overwork their staff. I was briefly in the industry at the end of the 90s, and still talk with people in the biz today occasionally. From what they tell me things just keep getting worse on this point.
do you wanna build an extension to solve this problem wiht me?
Which is an interesting premise, but it could use a lot more explanation on what makes this language actually "general purpose" and not itself a domain specific language for the domain of algorithms (in particular, representing something other than algorithms where this language excels).

As it stands, it looks exactly like a domain specific language for the domain of "algorithms that expect to be run on a system with Cocoa or some approximation thereof". But I'm probably missing something, in which case that something could use some explication in the introduction or on the "about" page.
This isn't unique to game dev. This is true in education as well - most white collar positions pay between 40 - 100k while vice presidents and presidents get 250k + packages.

I think more developers need to get better at negotiating. One 10 minute conversation can beat years of 2-4% raises. It's all about setting expectations and being willing to walk away.

I will not assume what country you are from or how active you are in your local community, but here in the US among progressive or environmental groups we have seen a great deal of progress on the state & federal level on fixing the system. Lots of people are determined to solve this, sadly there is a lot of opposition too.

I don't know what the relevance of the Maher clip is. I stopped watching after a couple minutes, but all I saw was about how Democrats have false beliefs about COVID. I don't see what this has to do with fact checking.

If you're referring to this Snopes (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/blm-terrorist-rosenberg/), the "mixed" ruling seems perfectly reasonable. Saying someone is a "convicted terrorist" is a fuzzy claim, because there is no such charge one can be convicted of. It's not like "convicted murderer".
The big plus of ServiceNow is that it’s slightly less terrible than the competition.

There simply is no good product in this space, at least not for enterprise clients with 1000’s of users and even more regulatory and internal requirements.

> Merrill: I think Facebook is probably the biggest example of it. They went through a phase where they were using this style universally. And, you know, they are one of the darkest companies as far as how they’re using that customer data. And it is all about this idea of, “Trust me. I’m a trustworthy company.” And let’s not look behind the curtain and see what’s actually going on. So I think it’s a really nefarious way to hide behind visual language.
That $4.5 number is completely worthless as a comparison to burglaries. It is just the number in the fund at the end of the year. You are basically trying to assume a person's income based off the money in their checking account. It is nonsensical.

I have said elsewhere in this thread that the burden of proof shouldn't be on the owner to prove innocence, but I'm not sure simply changing that turns it into criminal forfeiture. My understanding is that criminal forfeiture only happens when the owner is convicted of a crime. Meanwhile civil forfeiture can happen when the crime is committed by someone else (technically the item being forfeited).

Back to the Madoff example, not all of the money was taken from Madoff directly. Other people benefited from Madoff's crimes without being aware that crimes were being committed. I think it is acceptable for that third party profit to be forfeited despite the owners not committing a crime.
I feel that this article might suffer from being a bit hyperfocused on specifically publishing novels, and therefore ignoring other forms of fiction.

> The real success story here is N. K. Jemisin who was earning $5,068/month publishing fiction on Patreon before she received a traditional publishing contract and went that route instead. But she is the only real case study we have.

In particular, this line rings false, considering Wildbow is currently publishing fiction at $6000/month and has been steadily growing for years. Taylor Fitzpatrick[1] is publishing fiction at a per-story rate, which is harder to calculate a strict number for, but could easily be up there. SenescentSoul[2] is making at least $5000/month, but doesn't show the actual number on their patreon. I could go on; although I've read Wildbow's work in the past, I've never heard of the other two, and just found them by searching "writing" on patreon.

Of course, none of these are strictly writing novels: Wildbow is a web serial author; SenescentSoul appears to be the same, and the other is a short story author. This is perhaps why the author (intentionally? unintentionally?) seems to have left such a large area of successful fiction writing out of their article.

However, not mentioning the huge success of self-published LitRPG, romance, web serials, etc. in an article that is centered around positing the question "Could the creator economy work for fiction authors?" seems like a rather large oversight to me. None of these people mentioned are making the prized $10k USD/month that the author holds so highly (although [2] might be), but they're all extremely successful even relative to the world of traditionally published novels, and they're far from the only examples.

I understand that this author is quite focused on novels specifically, but self-published novels from romance/litrpg authors can also be quite successful; this is much harder to find numbers for than patreon-based authors, of course, so this is only an anecdote.
