They are paid to perform basic labor like tons of people are paid, and with that comes all sorts of other things, including going to school. I had a traffic ticket nicely handled by an attorney who bagged groceries to get through school.

A while back, my kid was on a baseball team coached by a guy who included pumping gas in the set of things he does to exist, show up for work and do things in this world.

Who are you to judge and put such shame on work that has respectable value? I will answer for you: nobody, same as me, that's who.

And "attend college" = not waste? I must be frank: implying people who do basic labors are somehow wasted, or in need of education is not a reputable assessment. Not to mention, "who pays?" Are we going to put free college out there? I sure hope so, and support that idea. In that scenario, one could pump gas, live small and get an education. More of that in our society please!

The place I get my gas from does my windows, we sometimes catch up on a bit of local news, exchange a joke, "you want that to go?" got that started, and yeah, I chuckled. And more.

"Human capital"

I reject that idea entirely. There is no waste in any of this.

Lives break down into thirds, one of which is work, one is sleep, and the remaining one, ideally funded reasonably by the work and a healthy society, is for people to just be people. Maybe that means hanging out with family, coaching a team, making art, fixing stuff, who knows, and more importantly, who cares?

"A life", "wasted", why? Because you do not feel good about how other people live their lives? Let them do that, you have your own to manage.

I sure do not need my entire life judged by the work I do, nor do I care to have that other third be anything other than what I feel makes the most sense for me, mine, others who I value.

In the scale of things? Yeah, it is a little slack. Easy work. And plenty of people value it. I sure do.

Frankly, in light of the massive abuse, killing, poisoning of "human capital" we do globally, along with our general apathy when it comes to taking care of our own people, I find this line of discussion laughable!

Seriously.

In simple, priority terms, as in something we really should get after?

This does not rate. At. All.
Same same but there is zero chance that an electric car doesn't have sufficient range in Europe and I imagine also in the vast majority of the US.
Loki was more a trickster than an outright villain. Most of his stories are about him cleaning up the Æsirs' messes and getting zero respect for it.

So the marketing message goes something like this,

Microsoft Security Response Center puts out a guideline that states:

1 - Use .NET languages, Java, Go if you can afford a GC

2 - Adopt Rust otherwise

3 - If C++ must be used, take care and adopt C++ Core Guidelines

WinUI team,

"WinUI is powered by a highly optimized C++ core that delivers blistering performance, long battery life, and responsive interactivity that professional developers demand. Its lower system utilization allows it to run on a wider range of hardware, ensuring your sophisticated workloads run with ease."

https://microsoft.github.io/microsoft-ui-xaml/

I should also note that .NET is migrating their C++ code into C#, as they improved the language to add the features available on Sing# and System C#.

" In this release, we’ve continued, and even accelerated, the process of porting native implementations in the coreclr runtime from C/C++ to instead be normal C# managed code in System.Private.Corelib."

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/performance-improvemen...

C++ force is too strong on WinDev, the very fact that Windows is the only mainstream OS that still doubles down on a C++ based GUI framework kind of proves it.

I am really curious if Windows 11 will finally be more like Apple and Google platforms, or keep going down this path of making certain APIs only available in C++, while forcing .NET devs to manually wrap them.
Why are the Security Departments of ever company so unfriendly? I feel like every blog post of a disclosed vulnerability has had some form or another of:
- no replies
- delayed replies
- vague replies
- playing down the vulnerability
- reducing the bounty

It’s like they still treat a white hat hacker as a risk, instead o cooperating with them. I don’t get the corporations. The white hat hacker is in this case your best friend. They proved their ethics already by reporting it to them, and they know it already because they found it. There is literally no reason to try to keep the white hat hacker in the dark, not update them, etc. The white hat hacker could have exploited the vulnerability already!

Here is the detailed discussion of problems related to automatic TLS configuration in email world.
It could be, but your comment wasn't; it was just standard flamebait. Please don't do that here.
The whole HTML-ization of GUIs is crazy... It's like "ok, let's make a language that represents semantics of documents and leaves most of the presentation to the tools, so we could concentrate on content and not focus too much on irrelevant details of presentation" - "ok, cool idea, now let's take this language and use it to build pixel-precision GUIs that have no semantic content at all". Ugh, talk about right too for the job!
I started with some interest in this post but stopped reading when the author started saying nasty stuff about Bezos's wife. How is she remotely connected to this post? Why try to shame her for her looks or cosmetic choices?

The author is trying to hard to be edgy without being humourous or having the depth of idea that could have saved this.
Side question: the road and everything looks super tidy. No trash, all new. Is this normal for China? Or was this filmed in an upscale neighborhood?
"motive unknown" implies not terrorism?
So why should people not go into teaching for the money. Are you saying you are not good at your job because you are motivated by money? That's a weird take, or does that only apply to teachers not other jobs? If so why?
Yes, this is normal in managed residential and commercial neighbourhoods. Presumably one would seek out such a controlled environment for testing.

PS. Not sure what city this was filmed in, visible number plates are Shanghai and Yunnan, but he mentions Tsinghua (Beijing).

Is there data on the average effectiveness there?
It was a joke about Bezo’s bad judgment re: life choices, not hatred of women. Let a guy make a joke about someone doing an ugly thing to his wife. Bezos became King of the World and then left his wife for a TV personality.

I give the guy credit for humor.
It is accessible by car, but only after 850km (528 miles) driving through mostly empty desert. I guess the author wanted to convey the isolation of the town, but the wording just turned out very awkward because yeah, despite the huge distances from anywhere else, the place is actually quite accessible if you have the time to spend on the way there (or the money to get a plane there somehow).
They are saying, in effect, you must sign/agree to our 81-page developer agreement to receive the reward.
It was my third year of my first job, I was alone working on the live database. I ran the following SQL command in SSMS:

DELETE FROM TABLE WHERE ID = something

And the table had a million records. Guess what!

In SSMS, the DELETE FROM TABLE was selected.

It took an hour to restore from backup, it stopped a lot of people from working, many new records was lost, they had to keep pile of papers to enter into syatem again.
A ticket on the Ghan starts at around $2600, it's a luxury service ... it's not "rail" like you might suppose.

It _is_ a weird sentence though. I guess they wanted to say its only accessible by road?

But that's also a bit weird as that describes 98% of towns in Australia.
> For instance, an independent developer writing an important library should get a share of the business use/revenue, especially if a set of companies that were not involved in writing it end up seizing most of the enterprise business around it.

But then it won't be adopted.

The modern OSS infrastructure is, for better or worse, a product of being both transactionless and frictionless. You can use such software without round-tripping a conversation, and you can do it without money changing hands - which, for businesses, means you can use it without fighting your internal purchase process.

The fantasy of taking a revenue split and distributing it over everyone mentioned in your transitive dependencies is just that: a fantasy. It can't happen that way in a modern business culture. Try to enforce it and businesses will just go back to buying single vendor stacks
Because the vast majority of ESP32 projects (and R-Pi for that matter) that get posted on here are for basic IoT things that don't need anywhere near the capabilities of an ESP32.
It's starting to look more and more as the decades pass from when these licenses were written that many authors don't understand the terms nor the purpose of the licenses they're choosing.
No one cares about someone’s improvised broad generalizations and “one day it’ll be great” patronizing speeches.

The question was what’s it good for as it is today, based on people with knowledge about it.

In particular the only thing you demonstrated here is that you have absolutely no knowledge about it.
Very close, almost all of POSIX is implemented in browsers now. Look at for example JSLinux https://bellard.org/jslinux/ for the classic example, or more recently stuff like pyodide that compile real desktop Python to run fully in the browser with WASM https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide

AFAIK there are a few loose ends still TBD with WASM & WASI to support sockets and networking, but once that's in place we'll likely have a full WASM POSIX environment in your browser. Get some of the core tools like gcc, etc. prebuilt and you're good to go to just start building the world in your browser. No app store reviewer to hold you back, no megacorp to decide homebrew apps aren't allowed anymore... the world is your oyster to create and share anything.
I got a good client and he kept giving me more work. 15 years later it was the only thing I could list on my resume. More variety also means experiences and learning.
Matt Taibbi supposes (in that paragraph) that their motivation in censoring scientific discussion of Ivermectin's effectiveness was to be "opposite to Donald Trump's comments" and thus to conform to one's own ideological tribe ... because if you don't conform, you risk being cancelled, don't you? And he bemoans that politics has corrupted real science and driven actual scientific debate underground.

Refer also to the Solomon Asch conformity experiment which occurred during a previous episode of cancel culture called "McCarthyism".

There are other theories. Some people have supposed that the motivations have to do with the money that big pharma would lose if they couldn't sell their vaccines because a safe and effective alternative was already available and proven, and therefore the conditions of the emergency use authorizations for the vaccines would become void. But nobody has any smoking gun evidence here that I'm aware of, it's just a plausible motivation.

Some people might believe so strongly that vaccines are the only possible savior of humanity that anything which detracts from the success of the vaccine campaign will be devastating, and so they do what they can to shut it down. Bret argues this is illogical if Ivermectin works because all forms of immunity work together to build herd immunity. But logic is unfortunately lost on far too many people.

More far fetched ideas include influence campaigns from foreign powers who aim to see America defeated. If they can influence the right people in the right way at the right time, they might be able to prolong the pandemic in America.

I'm sure there are even more hypotheses as to why such censorship is being attempted.
When I was a moderator, my razor was "is this for the benefit of the community?"

You can benefit from self-promotion, but not at the expense of the community. There should be a benefit for the other members: useful information, an interesting discussion, etc. In other words, be a genuine participant.

I've also been on the other side of this. My monetised content often got a pass because it was genuinely useful, and often posted as an answer to another user's question. I can honestly say that it was the best qualified answer, despite the occasional affiliate link in my content.

It also helps that I participate in those communities with and without self-promotion. For every link to a website I run, there are a dozen regular comments, helpful ones.

However, some members and moderators are not having it. Their razor is "does this benefit the submitter?" Anything that does is spam. Anything that does repeatedly - even with the blessing of the mods and a very favourable reception - is an attack on the community. Some users got so nasty about it that they turned to harassment.

I just ask the mods, then look at votes and comments. If either isn't receptive, I do not self-promote there. If they are, I ignore the haters and stay in the discussion.

It's worse than it looks.

There was no plausible reason for foreign nations to pay him for influence peddling through his father when he flew on Air Force 2 to China and Ukraine when Joe Biden was VP, since Hunter has no discernible skills.

By doing watercolors, he can argue that the foreign countries are paying for something tangible rather than influence peddling, which has enough plausible deniability for the MSM media and leftist FBI agents.

The icing on the cake is that he's a drug addict, and he paints with a straw.

How rich do you have to be to consider a couple extra thousand a year is an "at best" situation? At best? Its the very best thing!
The so-called anti-money laundering push is actually a manifestation of Total Information Awareness, applied to value transfer. It's completely unconstitutional and extremely dangerous.

It began in 1989, with leaders of the G7 agreeing at a summit to create the FATF. It has, by at least one account, become one of the least effective policy experiments in history:

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/25741292.2020.1....

There is a reason that historically, the state needed a warrant, issued by a court, before it could conduct a search. Allowing the state to conduct dragnet surveillance creates the kind of power imbalance that ensures growing income equality and social instability.

The need for the state to obtain a warrant before conducting a search was seen as striking the right balance between the need to maintain reasonable checks on the power of the state, and the need to investigate crime. And in one summit, all of that was cast aside.

Any actual incident of money laundering involves some underlying crime that generated the illicit revenue. To prove money laundering occurred, you need to prove that the underlying crime occurred.

So an AML law is redundant. Any actual money laundering that is proven would land the party involved in prison, for the underlying crime.

But the so-called AML laws do not require proving money laundering occurred. It only requires proving that a person did not comply with the AML-related disclosure requirements, i.e. not complying with warrantless mass-surveillance. The crime is privacy.
> Something like "public source", i.e. source available but not free to use under any condition may be an answer in some cases.

What would be the purpose of this? If the source is available but can't be used then there is no reason for the source to be available. No one can do anything with that source.

The library in question is already released "without warranty of any kind, express or implied". If the author is burdened by support that they explicitly don't need to provide then the answer is to not provide that support. They are under no obligation to do so. Asking to limit the distribution of their product after explicitly licensing it to allow for distribution "without restriction" and "without limitation" is just plainly the wrong approach.
I think this has changed in the other direction for me over time. I used to always question my own opinions, accept that others might have the better idea, only to see things spectacularly fail.

Now I assume I’m right until someone proves me false.

Still willing to accept other people’s opinions when I have no clue, but evidence seems to point towards my gut feeling being a better indicator of viability than whatever method those other people use.
I dunno, I'm pretty shit when it comes to Unix systems and programming in general (spent 6 hours fighting a postcss and tailwind config file and lost) but I got dkim and dmarc set up on my own server for my own mail in maybe 30 minutes?

I think there are lower hanging fruit in manufacturing than this, although someone more familiar with the industry can tell me how realistic this is. I was speaking to my father-in-law recently, who has helped design production lines his entire life. One interesting thing he said was that companies often have huge investments in machines that are effectively no longer supported by manufacturers. Many of these machines are based on simple circuits or microcontrollers, and their behaviour is more or less fixed at this point. But in many cases the performance of the machine is not optimal, with wasteful pauses and inefficient transitions between parts of a job. It occurred to me that there’d be a reasonably useful business in learning the behaviour of the controllers in these machines, and in some cases it must be possible to just rip out chips and replace them with tweaked versions. I don’t believe the IO can be very complex in this generation of machines (we’re talking various cutting machines etc) but you’d be offering savings of millions if you could build a scalable business tweaking them. One approach to that would be treating microcontrollers as black boxes and just using deep learning to pick up the mappings between inputs and outputs. Anyway, completely idle speculation on my part but free business idea for someone if they thought it was in any way possible, and entirely possible this is big business already.
> But downstream didn't demand anything.

As you described above, they damanded a conversation about why he was making the request he did. They couldn't just acknowledge that he had a request and choose to respect it or not when it was clear he didn't want to talk about it. Instead they dragged him into a huge spectacle. Even after they closed the issue on their side, (other?) NixOS people went to endlessly harass him on the home assistant forums.
The guy has a sense of humor that is both effective and rubs The Offended the wrong way.
That should work with multiple services, but not in a user/kernel split as we have today.
It took Daniel 937 days to get a visa [0] to _visit_ the US. I don't really see the US ever being interested in the contributions of a particular software, like cURL, to their industries as a whole. Any levy to support it would be fought at every level.

My reading of their PoV is more one against IP itself as a concept, and by proxy, licensing software as a concept. In that case, GPL is interesting since the stated goal of copyleft is to basically use the copyright and IP law system against itself.

While I don’t personally subscribe to IP anarchy, and I think that it is not being conveyed with an ideal level of tact, I do think it makes mostly logical sense.

Deep down, from a purely ideological standpoint, most computer science minded people can probably understand IP anarchy. It’s sort of the other side of the “what color are your bits?” post. I still think the world is better off with some forms of IP, even if we’re all well-aware that the copyright and patent laws have been perverted in most places.
There is no such thing as the spirit of open source. This is a stand-in for an actual argument that bridges the gap between your own philosophy and the reality of maintaining a project.

However, if you were so inclined to believe otherwise, please explain to me how that spirit of open source would not have simply dictated that either the project get rebuilt from scratch or simply cloned before inclusion?

It's not hard to recognise the human problem and try to work with that. Instead: We find braindead allegiance and arrogance throwing shit on either side of the fence.

The open source community is in trouble if this is the direction we're moving in

I don't know about this one. Sometimes it's important to take a principled stand. I was at a stocks company for all of two weeks, hired by a former friend. The very first day I was told not to email the security team directly and that all my emails from then on must be approved by my team lead. Within a week, I was told to lie to the security team. I spent most of those two weeks either in meetings or as a glorified page.

I really felt abused, devalued, and a tool for the shitty ethics of the corporation. So one day I pull my team lead and the other lead into a Zoom meet and unload and quit. I get myself on LinkedIn, canvas a few available jobs and within two weeks get a new job. In the interviews I made it crystal clear that I valued transparency and that I would not be forced to lie to anyone. Turns out that's one of their cultural pillars (transparency is an entire slide in their slide deck).

I have a manager I can honestly engage with. He knows what happened at the last company and he values that I spoke up.

These principled stands are not for nothing. We have to be able to believe in our own ability to have a social impact, however small. Shutting up and inoffensively walking away just buttresses shitty people (or shitty corporations, which are just egregores that have been hijacked by shitty people).
