The behavior, as I understand it, is that Lee and company behaved mendaciously, taking what was a community/volunteer "staff" run enterprise and legalistically maneuvering to turn it into his own fiefdom without consent or even a modicum of transparency.

Maybe this will have no operational effect, but it registers as terrifically unethical and destructive - he's predictably alienated and driven off most of the people running freenode. When people behave unethically and destructively in one scenario, it's easy to expect them to behave unethically and destructively in other scenarios. It's unacceptable from a governance perspective.

Moving away from freenode is simple risk mitigation.
Their own social media communications and statements make it clear they intended a real insurrection. Zip-tie guy wasn't there to post on the 'gram.
the only logical fallacy is wanting people to pay for software you distribute for free, capitalism has no way to solve that, nor any other system.

either you get the headspace that comes with the free software license or you charge for the software and use the money to sustain growth.

it's actually quite simple, but every now and then some people think they're entitled money for work they willingly did give away for free and write a thousand word essay trying to externalize the internal logical fallacy of that proposition
Antarctica has always been losing its ice shelves like this - and accumulating new ice inland to replace them. You can't really pin one event on climate change, only general statistics like rate of ice loss or size of remaining ice shelves.

I wonder: would similar effects be seen among operators of heavy machinery? Would there be a difference in the expression of this among really experienced operators vs intermediate ones vs total newbies?

Watching an experienced backhoe operator move a steel plate half an inch or gently place a massive boulder is like watching human movement. The motions are so organic, one could imagine that for experienced operators, the machine feels as much like an extra limb as anything else.
lore, art and style are not that important for mobas because your mind gets completely emerged in the complexity of the gameplay very rapidly
Right. And as with most problems that have to do with capitalism, we will get exactly nowhere if we try to fix capitalism first.

FLOSS was a hack from the start. It hacked the capitalist concept of copyright to turn it upside down, or dare I say rightside left? Because that's what hackers do. Hackers don't wait indefinitely for the evil system to fall once and for all. Like most protagonists of cyberpunk novels, they find tricks to make life less unbearable for themselves and those they care about even as the system resists change. Because after all, it is the only way to bring about any change at all.
Ansible helps get us to immutable infrastructure. Puppet does just the opposite.
At $2818 for the barebones, I think they've got some work to do yet to be affordable for hobbyists, but nice to see some progress :)
World is big. As long as there's a browser without built-in censorship (malicious websites filter, kek...) and world-wide Internet, that's not an issue. Parler can always host in Russian data center, for example, who could care less about US politics shenaningas, just like Russian dissidents are hosted in EU data centers.
You're treating IT like the wrong organ
The problem with contemporary capitalism is concentration. It's became too common to raise huge investment in order to become a monopoly and then take rent from such a position. All kinds of commons, not just Free Software, get plundered in the process.

What to do... perhaps if customers prove they are subject to vendor lock-in, the court will proclaim the supplier as a monopoly. Then automatically tax the hell out such a corporation?
However, in this article it’s referred to as an actual black swan, not the concept in the book.
It's very strange. In the UK you often pay a fortune to sit on a nearly empty train. This doesn't even seem like pricing optimized for profit, let alone general carbon reduction across all modes of transport.
Same response as above. You don't need licenses with dozens of pages of legalese to prescribe "anarchy".
The subscription costs me $12/month. If my goal is to support creators, I’d like to understand what portion of that subscription is actually going to the creators, versus Google.

It sounds like the answer to that is “very little” since you mentioned fractions of a cent per view. So if I watch a few dozen videos from a single creator in a month, can I safely assume they’ll get a couple cents that month from me?

I get that it adds up, otherwise the creators wouldn’t bother creating for the platform, but I’m not sure that helps me justify paying Google another $11.96 a month.
Yeah you're (mostly) incorrect. I recommend looking into terraform and how it handles state, that will give you a better idea of how it's possible to do infrastructure in a "this is what i want, figure out how to get there" way.

Terraform isn't the best implementation of it; k8s has full control over the infra so it's even more powerful in that regard.
Train fares aren't (although the tax payer in France pays far more for train services -- services which are pretty rubbish compared with the UK.

Compare somewhere like Lesparre (population about 5,000 and 40 miles from Beudeux), which has about 10 trains a day taking 90 minutes.

With Cononley (25 miles out of Leeds) with 4 trains in each direction the next hour.

I read the comment as that the person has likely tried to give his or her full effort ("sooner or later it dawns on them that this is not a reciprocal arrangement" kind of implies that), or perhaps was positioned to watch others do so, and not receive the benefits.

Mike did mention this topic could be a full other podcast episode, so maybe that'll happen at some point too.
No, an array language is one in which all the built-in operations are applicable to arrays. Take addition as an example:

4 + 4
8

In array languages the same operator can be used for arrays; or equivalently you can say that the example above sums two arrays of length 1. In J, you can do this and expect it to work:

4 4 4 + 2 2 2
6 6 6

This is true for all the built-ins, and many user defined operations (as long as you don't fiddle with so called rank of the verb you're defining).

Numpy is close to that, but there's still a distinction between arrays and scalars, while in array langauges that distinction is often blurred:

4 + 1 2 3
5 6 7

Edit: in J, you can have atoms, or scalars, but you need to box them:

(3;4;5)
┌─┬─┬─┐
│3│4│5│
└─┴─┴─┘

but then you can't do anything with them until you unbox them again:

(3;4;5) + 3
|domain error
| (3;4;5) +3

(+&4) each (3;4;5)
┌─┬─┬─┐
│7│8│9│
└─┴─┴─┘

'Kerfluffle' is a hilarious misspelling - sounds like a brand of marshmallow fluff.
I think it’s a mistake to look at the FSF peacetime budget and conclude they couldn’t sustain a war.

If Apple or Google were foolish enough to allow themselves to be pitted head-to-head with the FSF on a clear AGPL violation (the premise of TFA), FSF would easily raise the money required (in dollars and in pro-bono work). I’m not even especially a fan of AGPL and I’d crack my wallet open pretty wide for the FSF side here.
The problem is that all of the content is siloed. When the services are run by small groups of like-minded people (or people self-hosting) this tends to be less of a problem.

Yeah, in general, unless you're in the position of having a trust fund/investments that mean you don't need to work for a living, if you're going to be spending 40 hours a week on something, you probably want to get paid for it. Some people do have compulsive hobbies but that's mostly not sustainable.

Of course, casual nights and weekend activities can certainly work as unpaid hobbies and they may even be intensive hobbies for a time.

But the reality before people got as widely paid for writing open source code is fewer people spent a lot less time doing it.

It seems "high performance" is really profit in short term. And because of this Valorant will completely fail long term.

These shakedowns already happen. Oracle is a good example of one company who conducts them. Microsoft gained a reputation, back in the early 2000's, for feigning incredulity that you'd be using PCs with a non-Microsoft operating system.

It's a lot easier, as a user of software, to choose software with Free or permissive licenses than it is to know if a musical composition is part of the ASCAP or BMI catalog, though. I'd just avoid proprietary licenses, like those from Oracle, Microsoft, or you're describing, and encourage others to do the same.
Plenty of theatre schools/actors studios do classes in this. It basically involves focusing in on one sound at a time, with a lot of listening and repetition. If there are no theatre schools near you or they are still Covid-closed, you could look into online classes - but ideally pick one with a live tutor who will listen and correct you.

In the theatre the accent is known as "General American", not being easily placed in any specific region.

I have heard very good things about Fastmail (mostly at hacker news).

However, I wish they had a Family plan.

We are 5, 300 euros per years is a lot of money (we pay for other services).

So far we use Office 365 for 100 euros (you get the occasional 50 euros per year offer) that covers up to 6 people.

100 vs 300 euros is a big difference for us.
Should this use M0? These numbers are more like boaUSD, citiUSD, wfUSD, meaning non-reserve deposits in a protocol.
That's a quote / follow up from the previous Twitter thread about how their driver does fucked things.

Absolutely a security vulnerability, and while I havent reproduced on my own and am just going off what I read on the original Twitter thread (so it's possible I could be regurgitating bad info), my understanding is that it gives processes this access by listening to process creation and hashing the name. Meaning if I have a known hash from the list I can simply rename my program / malware and bam.
>So what do you do?

You could employ a little common sense when designing your product. Is it really wise for platforms like Facebook to allow anyone to start livestreaming unrestricted? I would argue no, at the very least they should be taking measures to minimise the blast radius should someone decide to walk outside and start shooting people.
I don't know everything about how humans play chess and I don't think anyone knows, either. Maybe they do what you say, maybe they don't. Most of what they do is not open to our introspection so it's hard to know for sure.

Computers, as I said earler, play by searching "exhaustively". "Exhaustive" can mean different things and I apologies for introducing such vagueness, but let's say that computer players spend all their resources, during play, to search a game tree. Learning evaluation functions, or memorising good board positions during self-play is done at an earlier, training stage, but it is also a form of search. So both for training and playing it is not "less and less true" that "computers play chess by searching exhaustively large game trees".

I agree that it's a bit confusing because if you read press announcements by e.g. DeepMind after AlphaGo's win against Lee Sedol, you would indeed get the impression that the field is moving away from search, towards something magickal that can only be performed by deep neural networks and that obviates the need for a good, old-fashioned search. But this is just marketing, though of course very unfortuante such. In truth, search still reins supreme in game AI.

One point of confusion is what we call "search". There is one kind of search that is sometimes called "classical search" and that includes algorithms that search explicitly or implicitly defined search trees with nodes that represent search candidates. Minimax and MCTS are this kind of "classical search" as is e.g. Dijkstra's algorithm or binary search, etc. When I say that "search still reins supreme in game AI", I mean classical searh. In machine learning, under PAC-Learning assumptions, a "search" is anything that selects a generalisation of a set of examples, i.e. a hypothesis, from a set of candidate hypotheses (a "hypotheis search space", or sometimes just "hypothesis space"). So gradient optimisation-based methods, like neural networks, do also use search - they search for the model that minimises error on the training or testing set, etc.

For an early discussion of search in machine learning see Tom Mitchell's "Generalisation as search":

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0004370282...

And for machine learning without search, stand by for my upcoming thesis :)

Precisely that.

In the beginning, for every doubling of the transistor density, regardless how that was achieved, the marketing size number was divided by about sqrt(2).

More recently the relationship between the density improvement ratio and the marketing size seems to be even less quantitative.

So they might claim that their process is 4 times denser than in the recent IBM announcement or maybe that it is just twice denser, if they have divided 2 nm from IBM by 1.4 and they have rounded to 1 nm.

Similarly, the IBM "2 nm" announcement was probably intended to claim that it is twice denser than the older announcement of the "3 nm" TSMC process.
Like Great Britain, I imagine? Sending your special forces to another country with the specific task of killing their head of state is an act of aggression... but then again, if you're a permanent member of the UNSC, it doesn't matter much.

This is a good perspective. I pushed for a higher priced pen test firm in our last engagement due their name/reputation (i was sick of nessus scan outputs) but ultimately their price was just SO MUCH cheaper than the prestigious named one. I couldn't provide a justification to leadership outside of "they have these awesome writeups in their research division". Asking to see a sample report to prospective firm turns out to be a crapshoot as well (but seems to be one of the few things to go off of). Can you provide any insight on how you evaluate?
It's not impossible that one day our rail network could stand shoulder to shoulder with GOV.UK and the NHS – which I don't think it's too hyperbolic to suggest are both the envy of the world.
> The laundromat saga happened largely because the owner of the laundromat was a jerk.

What should he have done differently that would have made the process work? Is it perhaps possible that his plans might have worked had he presented them with kindness, centered his words in compassion, and experienced a genuine blooming of human empathy? Greeted Calle 14 and Arguello with sympathy and real emotional engagement, acknowledging the legitimacy and validity of their concerns and pain, before refusing to donate?

Or was he a jerk because he didn't want to play ball with an unwritten shadow system that exists to make arbitrary and extrajudicial demands, and no amount of framing or emotional performance was going to make him into less of one? Can you help me understand?

That's available and fine, as long as you leave Euston after 0845.

You can take the 08:46, arriving in Manchester at 12:13 - an average speed of about 60mph.

The £300 is an option that few choose, because that journey gives them major benefits. The money raised from that is plowed back into the railway and used to subsidise services to Harrogate, Holyhead and Hungerford
The problem with Free Software is people thinking that the part you pay for is the copy of the code and not ongoing maintenance.

Look at busybox (or even Linux itself) for example, people probably work on that full time and get paid for it but the code is free (in both senses.)

Decommodification does not imply centralization, nor does it mean losing ownership of your housing.
Commons have been used by people for a long time before the idea of housing markets or central control came along.
Most often when I see the idea floated around w/ regards to housing it links ownership with use - if you live at your house, you have control over it. But noone can say "I control the home where someone else lives, because I have a paper that says so."
Gold has plenty of use besides speculation - jewelry, decoration, electronics, healthcare.
The innovation is the easy part.

The hard part is that the structure of our governance is such that extractive industries wield way more power than they would in other environments.
I haven't looked at all of the ChromeOS announcements yet but it would be nice if developers could write apps for ChromeOS using Flutter: not Android apps that can be deployed on ChromeOS, but ChromeOS-first apps. Ubuntu's developers have taken to Flutter as an ideal tool for writing desktop apps: as easy to write as a web app but without the memory and performance overhead of the DOM and JavaScript. Would be nice if such apps could be targeted specifically for ChromeOS.
Weird. I contribute to a lot of open source projects.

A lot of hobbies benefit the whole society. I would say most of them do. Hobby means making something. Hobbyists often make something valuable not only to themselves. It also often involves collaborations. Especially in the field of software development.

It is impossible to tell if someone is being sincere, or just very good at appearing to be sincere.

Not really. Snapchat and Instagram both introduced video features around the time Vine started declining. Instagram's video support is what killed the Vine userbase as the big creators moved off of Vine.

TikTok didn't fill a void, it's a fantastic video app that did a lot of things right. There was a lot of new video apps after Vine died, none of them were successful.

Obviously everyone could rewrite curl*, in 2021, or so they think.

Here's the magic in that trick: we have, collectively, amassed a heap of knowledge on HTTP and its behavior in the wild; this was made possible by curl, in the first place. Once this is handwaved away, of course it's easy to do. "Look at me, [standing on the shoulders of giants,] I have a really great view from up here!"

> "We're not blaming one employee," said Chief Availability Officer Darryn Dieken

> And the engineer who sidestepped Salesforce's carefully crafted policies and took down the platform? "We have taken action with that particular employee," said Dieken

As @vlovich123 has mentioned as well, this is a clear signal to avoid this company because of this exec.

The action that should have happened was at Dieken's level. There doesn't seem to be any level of acceptance from Dieken. The entire press release focuses on an individual and not the collective organisation.

Look at how much better this reads from a culture standpoint, general PR, leadership, etc:

We failed our customers today. Today we found that our processes within our company don't provide the necessary automated checks to make sure our emergency rolls out are done in the same predictable fashion no matter the change.

I as Chief Availability Office take this burden on starting with myself and working with my teams have crafted a short term fix and longer term plans to prevent an issue like this from ever happening.

We're doing...blah blah
