I try (tried?) to push for greater FOSS adoption by governments (www.oss4gov.org) and it's still a long way off good. One of the biggest hurdles was always "support". Purchasers liked OSS but no one felt they would get commercial levels of support (a single wringable neck if you like).

I think that the best solution to this is to commercialise FOsS support - I think that dev shops can select decent FOSS projects and provide various guaranteed support - in a common manner. Perhaps some kind of licenced or insurance payment.

I can imagine some kind of back payment to the original project - it won't be as profitable as software use license but it might be enough?
I mean, whole range of topics tangentially related to 1916 is being censored in american schools right now and it is not even extreme left.

By actual lawmakers.
It can be used as an excuse. However, I don't think that they really care. My guess would be money and control, than security and privacy.
I like the direction you’re thinking
It’s to keep anyone out who isn’t coming here legally. Mexicans who are going to follow our laws(starting at the border) and will be a net benefit to the US will be welcomed.
If the International Labour Organization had any clout, we might have wage-based tariffs. Tariffs would be set based on wages at the producing end. Maybe companies could get out of tariffs if they paid their workers more and their union certified that they were doing that.

The ILO is part of the United Nations. At one time, it was important. Not any more.
And where does the Basic Law mandate this?
wow, that response was needlessly cruel... I assume you're just having a bad day, so I hope you feel better soon mate. Good luck!

Are they getting an education now?

According to most metrics - including this article - more and more students are passed without meeting the requirements for their grade level.
I made this mistake once in my first proper job. It took me 2.5 years to leave a place where I was really unhappy.

So, move on from bad jobs, move on from meh jobs, and be quick about it. Eventually you'll find somewhere you enjoy and you can stick around for a while.
Can someone create a site for this type of question?
See my reply above. I didn’t think this idea would be controversial. Working conditions should improve when the workers have other options.
I don't think that it properly 'self navigates'. It seems to more just be a 'go forward without crashing into stuff' sort of algorithm. If you presented it with a dead end or a traffic cone or something like that, it would probably completely freak out and start oscillating. The navigation seems to be very rudimentary, but props to the creator because it's very good at staying upright.

I saw a very interesting take on nfts a while back and why the market will continue to exist and persist. A significant part of the art market is driven by money laundering activities, Nfts have allowed this process to become digitized so that they don't require the physical underlying, which requires storage and handling and shopping costs, anymore
Haha I guess that Twitch style real time response sarcastic chat transcends cultures.
I disagree, I think it's a perfectly reasonable to critique someone's writing, and by extension the author.

You can't be rude and justify it by saying "it's just my management style" or "it's just my personality".
This seems to be a common thing in some OSHW stuff I've seen.

Some people will take your work and sell it for massive markup but the support is expected to be provided by the creator (and a lot of the issues stem from the fact that these sellers might substitute parts for cheaper ones that don't meet some critical specs like timing or TTL compatibility for example)

When those creators say they aren't happy with that arrangement all they get is abuse - sure everything is legal but it doesn't make the behaviour any less immoral or scummy.
Brand appeal and self-selection are exactly what are happening there. The owner of our favorite Italian restaurant was talking to us and always used phrases like "in my home country" until we got to know him really well and he confessed he was Albanian (and funnily enough made all of his Albanian employees take Italian classes).

I'd like to think I would probably like his Albanian cuisine as well, but admitted to myself I probably wouldn't have tried it in the first place. People don't usually try out things for a nice evening they have no clue how it would taste like.
At least to me, durian has a sulfur smell, but it’s not strong and not that different from say cooked broccoli.

To me it’s like a strong creamy cheese. But I could see how some people find it unappetizing.

I can’t stand jackfruit any more. I used to love it, but now it just smells like the fake lemon smell of soap.

I don't know anything about Ada95's FFI but it can't magically answer the questions I posed. Either it requires extra information not in the prototypes, or it makes assumptions about the C code that won't always be true (and will have catastrophic consequences when they're not true), or it gives up on safe binding and offloads responsibility for handling those issues to the programmer.
With tracking you kinda need to take that horizontal approach that's very similar in other typical DAWs rotate it.

It's 1994, you come across a demo copy off a local BBS of a tracker "tetra compositor" echo.mod playing over the 8bit mono soundblaster that time odd "tracker" made such magic happen.

Back in early c64 & Amiga days to achieve a lot of the results you were trying to achieve was how with such limitations. These limitations we're a good reason to posit how to do such.

To summarize, trackers have a fairly large cracktro/intro heritage. I mean most trackers from a distance looks like a spreadsheet with codes. A coder approach, as far as implemention goes is a pretty big key difference & the limitations of the time.

I'd be more than happy to help any way possible. Avid long time register ReNoise supporter & pusher ;)

Since you've got a history with the typical DAW workflow. Eventually you can learn to appreciate the coder centric ux/ui of barely touching your mouse. Kinda like a eclipse ide user finding vim, getting quick ideas down with nothing but a basic ibm keyboard makes it part of the low budget/barrier fun.

I didn’t take the AI bit to be about “tik er jurbs” but rather about employers’ attitude towards developers. That would be more in keeping with the theme of the overall rant.
Pointers passed in and out have a very important property that's critical for writing secure reliable programs but is not encoded anywhere in the language, and that is lifetime and ownership.

If you pass a pointer to a function, will it free() it? Or store it somewhere where it will later free it? Can you now free it yourself safely or not?

Same applies to returned pointer values: don't free or must free?

Many comments here actually state that RL is really data hungry.
That is true, and indeed one of the difficulties to overcome.
However there is a lot of work in the field with making use of transfer learning / meta learning to tackle this and I have seen successful implementations in the manufacturing industry.

The bigger blocker right now is the simulation part itself (and there is also a lot work on that!)
Training a DRL for real world physical processes ob real world processes has the Problem, that a failure is extremely expensive.
You don’t want to see a manufacturing process moving too fast (because it’s still learning / optimizing) and then breaking a 500k router spindle.

Simulation is certainly one of the trajectories to deal with this though.

The third big block is then really the cost: for many manufacturing processes there are pretty good parameters found over multiple years. The trade off of the costs of a new DRL system - training it, potential failures, deploying it and training the users - to the gains need to be big enough to justify the use of DRL financially. Again standardization will help with this, but it requires significant R&D costs upfront only few are willing to pay.

In the end, in my opinion we will see the application more often, but it takes time and effort to improve and make it cost effective.
Students are adults.
A lot of people care and Rails isnt going anywhere. But we need to be realistic about winning the data science battle...that ship has sailed.

Oh yea, to me Lisp looks like Python, that's far from C, and usually it's a "interpreted" language, far from machine. Java and PHP is an example of interpreted language that's close to C, you can easily switch your mind from Java/PHP to "big boys" C/C++ if needed, and back. C/C++ is best paid "for hire" language, for a reason.
Apple uses C for some bits.

Also there are Objective C APIs which take format strings, like +[NSString stringWithFormat:] and the system function NSLog().

Even Swift uses format strings in places.

The labor market is a buyer market. Demand is inflexible but supply keeps increasing on its own. The end result are anti immigration sentiments.

Wasn't the contemporaneous asm.js already in commercial use in 2014?
I hate this post.
I mean, at this level we're only talking about a few thousand people. So, studies are going to be hard to come by. Really, all you need is a thought experiment and to read about how it works for super-rich people. They typically never sell their stock. Instead, they borrow against it and use that for spending money. There was a recent article about Zuckerberg's estate planning, which was similar to what Sheldon Adelson apparently used. Some sort of complicated trust that projects returns on assets to avoid taxes or some such.

Really interesting, thanks for the insight.

Since I was a boy, I had wondered why we hadn't improved our launch vehicles, I saw new cars and planes and electronics and whatnot produced every year, but I often wondered why the Space Shuttle was still the thing we used "to go into space".

I learned about RAMJET/SCRAMJET, doted on Star Trek warp drives and fantasized about teleportation, I kind of never questioned that rocket lift technology might have just reached some newtonian limits. I've certainly never considered the total cost of launches and the reliability or weather considerations.

A 25% cost reduction from vehicle recovery sounds great, but I've read "Eccentric Orbits" and am now considering there are many additional factors in these programs. I don't know very much about launch economics, especially since there is clearly much to consider. Thanks for the perspective.
asm.js already existed when this was written with AOT compilation support in Firefox
Was just going to say basically the same thing, though you are wrong about Business Wire (the source of some original press releases with high value).

This site would be better with way fewer sources, paradoxically. Probably 5-7 are all you need.

I pay a small fortune for Bloomberg each year and get notifications of all news on a list of stocks ~200 long. Most of the notifications are spammy lawyer press releases. Bloomberg has made no effort to curate this intelligently. Yes I know I can manually ignore certain keywords, but that's a pain and constantly evolves, it seems.

Curation is indeed paramount in the financial news industry, where much news is automatically regurgitated to generate page views/ad revenue.
Blazer, groupddate, lockbox, the list is endless. Grateful for folks like him in the community.
A small JavaScript text file which can currently run natively on any browser will always be far superior to a binary WASM blob that's compiled.

> If you do not have a paid Apple Developer Account, please sign up at <our site>, pay the membership fee and send us the associated Developer ID.

You can’t make this stuff up! It’s completely and utterly ridiculous that even when you do get a bounty, they’ll take a cut from it. Leave aside the fact that some stingy hands found a way to devalue a person’s contributions to their platforms by offering a tiny fraction as a reward.

I didn’t understand the later parts of this post well, but the correspondence frequency and the way this has been handled is a mark of shame to all the information security folks working at Apple.

Licenses are for losers. Remember that kids.

If you want to do big things in this world, run with the SciHubs and the PirateBays and the PublicDomainers. Flip the bird at the academics publishing junk behind paywalls crowing about licenses.

The ones who matter set their ideas free. Been that way for thousands of years.

(GPL was an amazing hack, but the next step is to finish the job, abolish IS laws, and bury for good the idea of needing a license to use your mind)
Let's be honest, if you're making a webview for the mobile app it's going to be pretty different from the desktop Electron version. You're going to share many resources, yes, but there's going to be a lot of divergence.

Sure, writing your own UI components sucks, but it's not that much worse than writing a UI component for Electron. If you need to stream something from the web, QMediaPlayer works fairly well from my experience.

Also personally I consider Flutter to be native.

I think the answer is probably something like gambling addiction.

While I use a very basic/standard passive investing approach myself, I do believe there are people who have genuine skill at active investing, particularly when they are handling relatively small amounts of money.

But I don't think any of them get there by absorbing walls of buy/sell recommendations.
These cameras are everywhere. I've been doing this stuff in one way or another since 2008 or so. Did it for the Air Force (mounted on the tower) and for more commercial applications. It's a solved problem, and it is not particularly expensive.

Surely you've seen CCTV or other cameras in an outdoor enclosure before? You are being tracked from parking lot to boarding in some airports. We can put a few cameras up to watch the runways and taxiways.

It's definitely a good point, I myself have noticed production software in Ruby losing favour over the past 5 years. I'm not sure for the reasons on it as I no longer build greenfield apps for companies so don't have those direct conversations, but I still use Rails in my own personal projects and for our current SaaS.
Evidently not very good, seeing how long some of them take to load.
I would guess they prefer major airstrips to fly directly into? Maybe the implication of small airstrip is that it is only chartered planes and therefore super expensive? But yeah, I also thought that was funny
> This is interesting to imagine, but how?

I ask the same question too, because when people speculate on computing:

> security of the present value of future property rents

often

> replacement cost of tangible industrial capital, structures, plant, and equipment values

Are often included included in the models because often this is the collateral that can actually have a liquid market value in the event of liquidation, but this is also subject to market conditions at the time this needs to be liquidated and the cost of actually liquidating.

Not to mention it would lower loan values since other non tangibles are often considered (IP, investor sentiment on corporate managers executing any given strategy, market conditions, etc).
Sideloading on android is specifically taking an apk on your PC and installing it on your phone over ADB (there's an `adb sideload` command). For whatever reason, people also wrongly use the term to refer to just installing apps from files outside your app store, even when it's all on the phone.

I also often see people try to either use the jailbreak term for Android or change it to root, but with the same wrong meaning, but there is no jail, you don't need root for much, and it's also unrelated to unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom ROM. Even a fairly-locked-down Amazon fire tablet lets you grab the F-Droid apk and install it. It's just normal.

Bit of a tangent probably. I also agree it shouldn't seem normal to people to not let users use their computers for whatever they want.

> Cloud providers should admit they’re basically mainframes and write an operating system instead of the ad-hoc collection of horse shit they foist on developers. Imagine if the EC2 were as clean as, I dunno, z/OS, which has more or less been around since the 1960s. That would be pretty cool. I could read a single book instead of 100 books on all the myriad tools and services and frameworks offered by Oligarch Bezos. He would be hailed as a Jobs-like technical innovator if he had some of his slaves do this, and he would be remembered with gratitude, rather than as the sperdo who dumped his wife for sexorz with lip filler Cthulhu. There’s no excuse for this from an engineering perspective; Bezos was smart enough to know he was going to do timesharing, he was also smart enough to constrain the spaghetti into something resembling an OS. Same story with all the other cloud services. Really, they should all run like Heroku and you’d never notice they were there. You could also draw flowcharts for most of this shit and replace devops with something that looks like labview. Nobody will do that either, as innovation in core software engineering, or even learning from the past in core software engineering is basically dead.

Heh, no Bezos was not smart enough to realize he was building a horizontally scalable mainframe out of commodity parts. All he knew was that they'd driven IT costs down below what anyone in the business had seen in other companies to the point where they could drop some APIs on it and sell it. Plus google was publishing papers like GoogleFS and coming up with GMail and everyone wanted to be seen to be as smart as them. This bit in particular: "he was also smart enough to constrain the spaghetti into something resembling an OS" is "lol, no". The big pile of web APIs was his vision. Literally its called Amazon Web Services.
