nono. you don't buy the source... you buy whichever product. and for the software parts of it, you get the sources.

so you buy $PRINTER, comes with a driver, you also get the source.

and with secure boot, you also get a way to update it in the device.

if there is no device, like with a compiler, you get some binaries, and the source. which enables you to fix the binaries.

the idea behind it was: no lock-in, and the right to repair and evolve what you own. freedom.

the anecdote for the origin of software freedom 'enforcement' and protection indeed was a printer:

Because Bitcoin works in a way that means miners, collectively, control the network.

They voted with their hash power against Bitcoin Cash when it forked, which was the “increase the limit” fork aiming at low fees and high number of transactions.

Those miners can now enjoy high fees as a result.
The 100-2000ns it takes signals to move across a datacenter and back is not the primary cause of a network request being slow in comparison with a cpu.

Oh, maybe that is why I can no longer use Google Maps. It used to perform OK, and then one day it became hopeless.

This post sounds so much like my situation, but just offset by 2 decades. After suffering with LTE, xDSL, I bought myself an uplink connection in the city and put an antenna on a building there that sends me 100 Mbps wirelessly to an antenna on my house.

My situation isn't that bad as 'Mad Ned' had experienced, as most people have 8 Mbps ADSL2+, but it cuts out during rain because underground cables get wet at the points they were cut and rewired back together, and it causes bad connections.

Meanwhile my connection handles rain and snow without problems, and ping is 1ms from my house to the router on the other side. The rest is out of my hands and handled by the uplink provider, but it is usually around 10ms in total.

Ironically after me putting up my antenna here, because LTE was oversubscribed to the point of falling down to 1-2 Mbps every evening and 100ms+ ping, the carrier put a whole base station on the roof of the same building that I have my PtP link antenna on. As expected, it did not improve the situation as the base station is very short range and cannot be reached from my village.
I don't know if I can help anyone understand this piece but I'll try:

This is poetic prose and it's meant to evoke feelings more than tell an a->b story. Early in the pandemic last year when people were suddenly confined to their houses, a whole lot of people took to baking bread.

The author's fruitless, meaningless job search paralleled the global situation with scores of people losing their jobs. It paralleled her micro situation with being unable to find flour, and not knowing how to harvest wheat. It paralleled her assignments of fruitless, meaningless scavenger hunts she gave her children, because they're stuck at home with her, and nobody knows what the fuck to do.

Ultimately it's a piece describing exhaustion and utter bafflement at trying to find a higher purpose in the midst of the global pandemic. "Fuck the bread" is the voice of reason - when the going gets tough, keep going.

Pieces like this will be the time capsules that will help people in the future understand what we all went through. I do hope it reaches some of our non native speakers.
So all that network latency and cache validation come for free? What if the system isn't in the same LAN and has a few hops... hops that may involve the speed of light over a few thousand miles and all it's slowness...

I don't think you've thought about the problem space enough.
Your tl;dr assumes that the 80 developers are going to coordinate at all as opposed to silo themselves with duplicative efforts (e.g. GCC, Clang, MSVC; Intel Core, AMD Ryzen; Windows, Linux, BSD).

It also assumes that more developers is inherently better. For a rebuttal, see The Mythical Man Month.
Unless the only woman who works at Apple is his wife, it seems more relevant what that passage says about women who are not his wife.
I think the idea is that you "pay" the charity instead of the tax man.

This in turn allows you to take income from the charity (as an advisor/board member/fake title) so you're getting some back (with 40% taxed as income) via charity "employment".

Then as a cherry on top, you get to push headlines that you are altruistic and have buildings named after you.

Also, your friends can be advisors/board members for your charity and donate you gifts.
You must have missed the completely available and included with MS-DOS 5 or later QBasic. Pretty powerful for how easy to use it was. Delorie's tool was nice, but nothing compared to Borland's or Wacom's.

Then again, bit earlier you had included BASIC on every microcomputer, and hardware documented way better than random PCs glued together with duck tape.
It's also complete nonsense. Invent a worse technology so people will use it less. If you can compel people not to use the faster ships, then just compel them to use those less instead!
Unlimited means limited? What a country!

Apologies to Dr Nick
WHO did maintain from the beginning that transmission via aerosol was highly likely and possible. Although, I do agree that tweeting the study while still openly stating it is possible sends a contradictory message. One thing to not forget is that WHO is a global cooperation organization, and its power is derived solely from its member-states acceptance and cooperation. This means that they have to play the political game and weigh the consequences of their actions versus the benefits.

We have already seen multiple instances where leadership avoided testing to make the virus appear contained. Now imagine what countries would do early in the pandemic if they saw countries essentially sanctioned for trying to contain the virus. Did WHO make the right choice? I don't know, most likely not, but the world is not black and white. They should, however, rigorously go through their actions these past two years to see what they could have improved and what policies to put in place to prevent this from recurring again.

One trend I've been noticing recently is accessibility technology gaining widespread use among non-disabled people. For example, many people watch Netflix with the subtitles on or use a voice assistant to type messages.

Could hearing aid technology be headed in this direction? A lot of consumer hearing aids have debuted recently, not to mention the Airpods' hearing aid-like functionality. Imagine being able to automatically filter out background noise and amplify voice frequencies at the same time. Or maybe using a positional audio "beacon" to locate a lost item. Or perhaps being able to tune into a muted TV or movie screen and receive audio in your native language. There are a lot of possibilities in this space and I'm excited to see what comes next.
LOL to 2000ns. Seriously?

10ms minimum to go to the next rack. For 99% of the requests. For the unlucky 1% you'll get outlier performance due to.... well... you spend the next sprint figuring it out and the next quarter trying to solve that scaling bottleneck.... It could be network, it could be some weird design thing, it could be redis, who knows? But yeah... enjoy figuring it out instead of focusing on your product.

1% of all requests is actually a lot of requests. And if you think 1% of your auth requests aren't 10x the median... you aren't measuring it hard enough.
Can you describe more your setup? Some repo?
If you need history then still put them on a web server and increment the filenames. Storing large files in a git repo is a misappropriation of the tool. It wasn't designed for that use case.

More precisely, I'm saying that Apple appears to suck at massively parallel use of their resources. For a company as big as they are, their cumulative output of high quality product isn't all that much. It seems they can barely keep macOS cobbled together now, let alone spin up groups tasked with shepherding individual components towards open source.
They have some dumb versions available currently too. My understanding is that the same motor assembly from the higher end models is used in the 4100. You lose some unimportant customizable features, but you still get the 30sec pulses and 2min off time.

First time I've heard of it, but one thing that comes to mind: if a company is very successful in the Netherlands, in part due to being able to make use of its excellent infrastructure, but its owners are in the US, then they will not be contributing to the maintenance of that infrastructure. You'd then lose the positive feedback loop of the infra paying for itself, enabling more successful businesses.
Right and you're wrong.

That ignores the fact that the vast majority of people will not read publications or pay for journals. Instead, there has to be a worthwhile discussion with many viewpoints in social media.

I've seen enough WHO sponsored ads like "Stay calm. Trust your government. Don't go to social media.". Very suspicious.

Did you have it regulated? Asking because my Tudor Heritage Black Bay 79220R uses the same movement, but will lose around 30 seconds in a week... I mostly wear it when I'm not all that active (e.g. in the office, out about in the city, etc.), but it still seems too much to me.
oh of course it did.

neither gpl forces you to put your software source to a public server.

all it says is: if I give you binaries under gpl, and only then, I also have to give you the source, and you then have the right to modify and redistribute, under the same terms.

if I give the binaries to you under gpl 3, then in addition I have to provide you with tools to install your updated software into your specific drm protected device (and you're explicitly good wrt parents I may hold)

neither gpl 2 not gpl 3 anywhere talk about making the source code (or the software) available to anybody free of charge.

edit: the key is 'corresponding', with paragraph 3 being about software distribution. 'any third oarty' in the quoted clause b of paragraph 3 references your recipients of the software, not anybody and their neighbor.

the meaning is: if you give someone the software, you also give them the source.
I'm too lazy to follow that BLT analogy correctly. I don't think it's a good one.
It doesn’t really though.

It makes laughable claims like miners have only 94KB of bandwidth.

It’s the same old fud that says SPV is unsafe for the average user, Moore’s law is nonexistent, and even then makes crazy lowball assumptions about what hardware and network connectivity people have.

It’s basic fallacy is the same old one that says every user needs to download and validate the entire chain and all transactions to use Bitcoin.

If that’s true it’s going nowhere anyway.
The mention of Murdoch was aimed at the chain of companies (centred around News Corp), not the person. The voting structure of News Corp is such that the Murdoch family has control, so News Corp and Murdoch (the family) are pretty well interchangeable terms from an editorial point of view.

The "Murdoch" press includes newspapers such as "The Australian" and "The Telegraph" in Australia, "Fox", "WSJ" and "New York Post" in the US, "Sky" and newspapers such as "The Sun" in the UK. They quote each other, as if they are independent sources (in this case the story in " The Australian" was first published in "The Telegraph"), but in reality they are all one source, with the Murdoch family exercising ultimate editorial control.

That's the background to the use of the term "Murdoch". It's not referring to the person but identifying a group of media companies that are effectively a single source.
The feelings are yours. The work is designed to invoke feelings.

The abstraction of the feelings are in the analysis of the work rather than in the reading. I suppose some people combine the two as they read.

I suppose some will put themselves in the place of the author as well. Reading this feels like being trapped into being someone’s therapist.
direnv is one of those things I've never found a use for because it's so simple to roll your own and because there are invariably situations I have that they don't handle well, my work needs don't map well to a directory based approach for example. My home implementation that's evolved over the years is about 60 lines of bash but a simple bare bones (and unsafe) one is as easy as:

function cd { builtin cd "${@}"; [[ -f "$PWD/.env" ]] && source "$PWD/.env"; }

To me stow seems similar, I see little to no advantage over a script/makefile that creates the symlinks and you have the complexity of another tool to learn.
You’ve quoted the WHO accurately which is actually more damning.

Taiwanese scientists had observed evidence of human-to-human transmission and submitted it to the WHO well before that and they ignored it. Positive evidence of human-to-human transmission had also been reported in Thailand.

See Zeynep Tufecki’s Account of the timeline from last April.

https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/...

> Hong Kong and Taiwan remembered that China has a history of covering up epidemics. In 2003, the world didn’t learn about SARS until after it had escaped China and become impossible to deny. (Back then, the WHO openly criticized China for its lack of transparency and cover-up, and we contained the epidemic just in the nick of time.) This time, the WHO was told the truth early on: Taiwanese health authorities sent their own medical teams to Wuhan in December. Those scientists confirmed human-to-human transmission—the most crucial piece of information for determining the difference between a local tragedy (if viruses are only jumping from infected bats or pangolins to humans in wildlife markets where people interact directly with them) and a brewing global pandemic. Taiwan isn’t allowed to be a member of the WHO, because of China’s objections, but it still informed the organization. Hong Kong health authorities, too, announced as early as January 4 that they suspected human-to-human transmission was already occurring, as they also looked at the evidence and their own contacts in Wuhan.
For me personality matters a lot. I initially tried to adjust to multiple tools now I am adjusting tools to my personality.

*Mental shift*:

1. I shifted from deterministic to probabilistic. Being deterministic meant I had to do these tasks. If I didn't, I felt bad about it. Being probabilistic meant that there is a high chance that I would do these tasks but if I didn't that's okay. Probability doesn't account for outliers.

2. I started using my tool as more of a *reminder* as compared to a *guide*. My world is too chaotic sometimes, as I have to attend online zoom meetings, solve bugs and guide junior developers etc. My priorities would change from morning till evening. So, I decided not let a rigid framework control me but let the tool remind me that hey there is a task you jotted down to work on - do you have time to work on it?. I also realized that some tasks dry up or become irrelevant with time as universe take care of themselves.

3. I started planning my weeks before my days. I realized that at a macro level, I can't control my day but I can control my week. So, I make a priority list of what to be achieved at end of this week(abstract goals). Each week is a different page or note in my tool. I do reflective thinking after week end as on what I was able to achieve, what new things came on my plate, what came in between etc. This helped me in marking down my accomplishments.

4. I plan on day level as well but I don't keep admiring my tracker. I realized that after thinking through what tasks need to be done in the morning after looking at my tool planner, I can continue working on them. I mark ticks at the end of day.

5. I jot down bugs solved or programming or business wisdom achieved in the entire day in my notes as well. This helps me to recall easily in case someone asked me - what did you do on that day or week.

*Framework*:

1. After a lot of trial and error, I ended up with a modified version of Eisenhower matrix. It generally consists of four quadrants:

- Urgent and Important
- Urgent but not Important
- Not Urgent but Important
- Not Urgent Not Important

2. However, I ended up modifying it. I replaced word Important with impactful and added subcategories of simple, medium and hard under each quadrant as follows:

- Urgent and Impactful
- Simple
- Medium
- Hard

3. I keep different todo list for different projects and assign priority to projects. I ask myself the following: If someone put a gun on my head and ask me to choose one project priority-wise which one would I choose. Then, choose the second project and on. Of course, I prioritize Urgent and Impactful ones across all projects.

*Choice of tool*:

1. I used google calendar, keep, one note etc. Now, I have finally settled on Evernote. Sometimes, I get urges to switch to Notion or Trello as well but Evernote is working for me now.

PS: I derive a lot of inspiration from *My Effectiveness* app. You can have a look at it as well: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andtek.sev...>
We get all these vehicle-miles-traveled from a desire to stay with nature. That's what the suburban development pattern is all about. Ironically if we just made a clean break with nature and lived in straight-up urban environments, we could have clean air.
This is misleading.

1. You write Canvas in Javascript, the article did not mention anything about Canvas in WebAssembly.

2. Although WebAssembly used to run in Javascript with asm.js, WebAssembly code can be executed by V8 engine (C++ based) already.
I feel like I want to hear more about what you're saying but despite reading it several times, your comment remains pretty opaque to me. Could you elaborate in a more plain English how exactly you think Mars colonisation will actually go? My understanding is that Elon considers this unmistakably as a concrete near-term goal, whereas - certainly to my knowledge - "tweaked versions of us... in a different substrate" seem significantly closer to science-fiction still (despite Neuralink etc.).
So I'm curious what concrete things and time lines you were referring to...
Thank you for the in-depth explanation! Will definitely dig further into this :)
Sure the CEO has a vested interest in this being true.

But didn’t Yahoo eliminate remote work when they checked the VPN logs and a huge percent of remote workers hadn’t logged in weeks?
I have one of these.

It’s a nice little device but it falls a bit short in one key area: it lacks a CAS (Computer Algebra System) for symbolic calculations.

That functionality was available in an earlier release of the software (Epsilon) but it was at best rather rudimentary.

I’ve flashed Omega (a fork of Epsilon that preserves the rudimentary symbolic capabilities of earlier Epsilon) which also allows running third-party apps (including Xcas). You can check it out here: https://getomega.dev

I’m a strong believer in calculators and I understand the restriction on CAS systems in order to facilitate assessment in exam environments, but almost all calculators (including NumWorks) have Exam Mode settings anyway so… I don’t really see why not. It’s a critically important tool.
are you sure? can you give an example?

How is the intelligence of the average person measured?

When I think of an ideal PhD candidate and for the record I am definitely not PhD material, it requires the spark of ingenuity, the work ethic to hash out the viability of an idea and the ability to convey that idea in a coherent manner such that others can grasp the concept being offered and either accept or reject it.

I wish I could study for a PhD in philosophical theology as I believe I have the imagination, but the areas of work ethic and clear communication I find myself lacking what would be required.
I did `cat about` I think which was the wrong thing to do. Didn't know that was a folder. It works fine.
Yep, I did `cat about` I think which was the wrong thing to do. Didn't know that was a folder. It works fine.
And how do you log out?
As well, I've found Google docs is hardly able to work with 20 page documents with maybe 10 or so images. It slows down rapidly when you add images.
dispite loving the idea of git annex and having tried it multiple time in my workflows, it was really to complex to wrap my head around for simple use cases. Also i never got it to run on cygwin which is essential to me because it heavily uses symlinks (havent checked if the Windows version finally supports native symlinks). The examples are all about nontech creative ppl but i never managed to explain it to anyone who wanted to check in just large amounts of graphics to a bit repo...
I've never got my head round how log out of all devices works. It has to have a central store of all sessions?
The state of their tent was such that they abandoned it for the forest below in the snow slab theory. But yes, any motivation from that night is speculative, including the one where Igor decides to pitch the tent on the slope because he doesn't want to lose progress the next day, or that he wanted the group to challenge themselves.
And politicians were claims BLM protests across the entire country weren’t a big threat.

You misunderstand. I'm talking about intending to run `git clean -xffd` under `~/src/some-project` (a git repo for some code) but accidentally running it under some other directory, such that it ends up running against `~`

Making aliases for working with `~`'s repo doesn't prevent that.
