On raising kids, Vonnegut wrote: "you have to be kind".

Economic reasons might be a large factor, but they are not the only one. There is a lot of this even in places where there is much less competition. People want to see their kids succeed, and that alone can trigger a lot of things. I am not completely innocent, although nothing egregious because I know that reacting to your fears will mostly end up being a self fulfilling prophecy. But even knowing this it can get the best of you if you see them failing at something out of laziness too many times. If I have a "job" with my kids, it's to give them an opportunity to find their passion, but this is much more than shipping them off to some practice. On the other hand looking at it as a job is highly likely the wrong way.
History of Actors (transcript of 2018 HOPL talk)
Correct me if I’m misreading the article, but it’s interesting that the differentiators Graham is citing are relatively low-level, (ie keenel stuff, cpu architecture, and OS hacking), whereas almost everyone in these comments is making statements about GUI elements and even display switching. Kinda goes to show just how abstracted away the concerns of even 16 years ago have become to today’s ~devs~
If we're going down that road, I generally try to be productive from roughly 2pm to 4:30. The rest of the day is for waiting to see if something unexpected catches fire and figuring out what it is I should be working on for my two and half hours of focus time.
Yeah, I’d heard about these missions. One has a descent probe but I believe it’s atmospheric, not surface like the Venera missions, right? Still cool though.

What I personally want to see in my lifetime is a return to Neptune and Uranus. I don’t believe we’ve been to either since Voyager. Given such a mission takes the right planetary alignment, a decade of prep and still a decade to get there this will take awhile.

The Venus missions actually make either icy giant missions less likely, sadly. Outer planet missions are super expensive and the next launch window is in the early 2030s so time is actually running out.
That is a huge problem if you acknowledge using an illegal platform in your professional work, including for your co-authors. Almost the opposite of genius, actually.

Well, I want decentralized peer-to-peer networks and the ability to pay for things using currencies like Monero and Zcash; only, to build the tools that make that world happen, I can't only build apps and platforms that only work for half the potential users: the network effects simply don't work like that :/. And yet, Apple insists that, for their own good, all push notifications for users must go through their servers--requiring apps to always have centralized backends, which they currently often outsource to Google or Amazon, further centralizing all data collection--and all payments for all products everywhere by anyone must be made with centralized credit cards through Apple's payment processor. I mean, this is the same company that implemented a feature that causes your computer to phone home to Apple every time you run a program, which they also claim is for your own good? Even the entire setup of their centralized App Store makes them a tool of oppressive governments to do further surveillance on their population, providing centralized chokepoints--ones that only exist because of Apple: Android phones that are marketed to these same regions do not have these issues, proving Apple's excuses are lies--to ban applications such a scam VPNs. The whole situation is ridiculous: centralized systems are inherently anti-private, if not in the short term then in the long term as their incentives wear out.

Thanks for explaining!

So isn't "returns on capital" measured in dollars, not percentages? I mean investors/shareholders will look at dividends and stock price appreciation, not ROCE.

> It's a long game vs a short game. Of course, just because it's a long game doesn't necessarily imply it's better.

Yes, exactly. Maximizing returns is not specific enough, "maximizing over X timeframe" is. And this should be decided by shareholders, right? (And so they elect a board that then picks a strategy.)

> YouTube

YouTube brought in revenue of $6.01 billion in advertising revenue during the quarter. Sure a lot of that goes to content creators, royalties, etc. And running the site costs a lot of money too, but if YT can't make a profit on this much money then I'd be very surprised.
With sufficient data, acoustic patterns could be learnt to identify the type of vehicle down to its model. You might be able tell it is a Sentra but not _whose_ Sentra.

I still think it made sense up until now to not bother with it on consumer hardware, and even at this point. The probability of your phone having a software glitch needing a reboot is way higher. Now that it's practically a free upgrade? Should be included by default. But I still don't think it's nearly as nefarious as people make it out to be that it has been this way for so long

That's a user choice.

iCloud supports storage if encrypted data and disabling unencrypted backups.

It's fine that you reject the legitimacy of government, but unreasonable to expect huge organizations to do the same while serving hundreds of millions of users.
No review from Apple is a downside, but I doubt iOS' system permissions are tied to the App Store.

On Android (and Windows/macOS, to a certain extent), the OS asks you if you let <app> access/use <feature> independently of how the app was installed.

Also, can apps monitor your communications on iOS? On Android you can replace the apps that control calls, sms, etc, but that wasn't possible on iOS last time I used it.
I agree it's so easy not to see our own biases reflected in our own censorship actions. We all have blind spots, but censoring parts of a discussion simply because you don't like them isn't healthy.
There's also OFDR now, frequency based. My understanding of it is pretty hand-wavey, but it's a lot more sensitive.
Yeah, the legions of VB programmers who just wrote On Error Resume Next at the beginning of the file and never looked back weren’t keen on doing that, either.
Right exactly. As a point of reference, within M3DB each unique time series has a list of “in-order” compressed timestamp/float64 tuple streams. When a datapoint is written the series finds an encoder that it can append while keeping the stream in order (timestamp ascending), and if no such stream exists a new stream is created and becomes writeable for any datapoints that arrive with time stamps greater than the last written point.

At query time these streams are read by evaluating the next timestamp of all written streams for a block of time and then taking the datapoint with the lowest timestamp of the streams.

M3DB also runs a background tick that targets to complete within a few minutes each run to amortize CPU. During this process each series merges any streams that have sibling streams created due to out of order writes, producing one single in order stream. This is done by the same process used at query time to read the datapoints in order and they are consequently written to a new single compressed stream. This way extra computation due to our of order writes is amortized and only if a large percentage of series are written in time descending order do you end up with a significant overhead at write and read time. It also reduces the cost of persisting the current mutable data to a volume on disk (whether for snapshot or for persisting data for a completed time time window).
I shudder to think what will happen if sci-hub is blocked completely. Someone should put it on the blockhain or something :)
> I think splitting the market will be fine. However, I suspect many side-loading-capable iPhones are going to have many more security problems and privacy breaches.

Security and flexibility are always at odd with each other. But for side loading, I'm not really worried.

Users that are susceptible to security problems don't have the technical know-how to even do something as simple as sideloading. Those who are technical enough usually are not the entry point for malware.
Ah, but Sci-Hub isn't illegal. There's nothing wrong with visiting the Sci-Hub home page, nor with using it as a convenient way to access open-access papers.

I never made that claim. I even posited a "super-APL" where a single character was enough to contain the creativity which is a prerequisite for copyright protection. Such a language does not exist, and I don't think it ever could, but there is a slightly-greater-than-0% chance that it could happen.

OTOH, your original context for an "entirely possible" scenario at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27730596 was "The amount of copying does not matter for a copyright claim", which implied your scenario was not that hypothetical example I posited.

(A 1E-20 probability * maximum expected lawsuit payment with successful lawsuit = don't worry about that scenario.)

We do know that the courts have decided many cases are de minimis non-infringing use of materials otherwise under copyright.

Do you think there is no acceptable de minimis argument in software? If not, why is software somehow special compared to other areas of copyright?

A "de minimis analysis ... usually focuses on the amount of the copyrighted material that is copied." - quoting http://patentarcade.com/2020/04/nba-2k-avoids-tattoo-copyrig...

If 'de minimis' use exists in software, what realistic scenario are you thinking of where a single character is enough?

To be clear, I think zero shared characters can still show copyright infringement, for reasons you mentioned about abstraction-filtration-comparison.

But your "entirely possible" example had no other shared similarities beyond a single character, and I can't see how any court wouldn't think that was a de minimis use of that character - assuming it had copyright protections in the first place!

Good suggestion - there were tons of custom tools like extensions to qcc and I've started tracking them down. Expanding to the whole tool chain is a great idea.

I've started an "official release" archive along similar lines (includes qtest1 and many other goodies):
https://github.com/Jason2Brownlee/QuakeOfficialArchive

Yeah, QC for most of the mods was available for extensions, only reaper was closed src where authors resorted to decompilers, at least that's the story that I've put together from research.
I think persistence will win this one because the moral dilemma is pretty weak here. Unlike with the software and arts, we don’t need to seek a funding model for the researchers when we take their work for free.

It’s my impression that it’s a matter of adaptation before the free access becomes the norm. Therefore technical help and civil disobedience should eventually do the job.

In this case, we are stealing from the CD company without actually stealing the CDs. With a path adjustment we should be able to stop stealing CDs without any monetary impact on the content creators.

The article is not the most relevant link when claiming you were attacked "hysterically" on Twitter. If a link to the latter does not exist, preventing neutral parties from evaluating the situation, I do not see the point in leaving this comment.
Was with you for the first half.

For me it's lots of XXX commits to save work in progress, followed by a `git reset <base>` and several passes of `git add -p` to build up a set of reasonable standalone commits.

Who do you think is going to pay for social media?

Are they still going to pay when most people leave the service because they won't pay?

What regular person would rather pay then see ads? If you gave people tvs they would put up with the ads. If you give people free dialup internet they would put a banner across their browser.

Paying is a non-starter.

End to end encryped what? Posts/videos? Who cares..
> A person that has truly amended his relationships seems to have stronger ones than one who always had ‘fine’ ones, in many cases.

And in many cases, there is no amending anymore, cause other people got enough of it and trully moved on.And in even more cases, those seemingly strong relationships are actually noticeably damaged forever. They seem good because they are shelfes hanging together by sheer effort and often only out of inertia.

No matter how repetant you are, you cant unhurt other people. Repetance is about you, but they in the meantime made own decisions.

And if your plan from the start was to be repetant later to get back things you decided to sacrifice, it is smart from them to not accept it.
This post reads like GPT3 to me.
IME: Much work was slower while walking:

Reading: My head was moving relative to the text; reading was much slower.

Typing: My arms and thus hands were moving relative to the keyboard. Perhaps typing on a phone screen would be better, as it can move with you.

Using a mouse: Tough to do while walking.

Talking: Obviously people walk while talking on the phone, but notice that they stop when they have to concentrate. As another example, talking on the phone while driving sometimes results in a failure to do one or both.

Thinking: Walking can be good for getting the creative juices flowing, but I find it hard to walk and really concentrate hard on intellectual things.

But having said all that, I would give it a try: What you do, how you work and walk might be different. Maybe you'll find better solutions. Worst case is, it doesn't work out.
Thanks for pointing this out. Overcoming trauma and suffering strengthen the character of some people, probably a smaller percentage than those that they keep down. I have achieved the happiness and positivity that Bryan has by overcoming them. My sadness is about the decades it took, but even so, I am grateful that I did.
Repeat 80% of what you just said to your boss, and try to work out a working arrangement where you can do the work, but also be happy with the environment. Worst case scenario is they don't work with you, and the job ends... which is not such a bad thing if it makes you miserable anyway.

But the best case scenario is that they do let you work independently and you end up happy. It is worth a conversation to find out.
That indeed works, but is a time consuming manual process, pipes arent always leaking clearly (visually), and that only works when a failure has occured. I built a few fibre based instruments three or four years ago that could detect and gauge changes in the pipe caused by wall thinning (before leaks have occured), small leaks (too small to notice soil changes) and also fouling. Longevity and robustness of the sensors was always an issue though
What OP meant was that Apple has access to, and does datamine our personal information on every Apple devices.

They sell the idea that Apple is the only "trustworthy" entity capable of handling and protecting your data, so you can trust them with your data and you should ignore how they are datamining it (because they are "trustworthy").
These techniques gain use because for the vast majority of people, they're subtle and play into unconscious biases and subconscious parts of the brain's reward circuitry. You may be a more evolved and educated human who is aware of all their biases and conscientious of all the different dark and grey patterns apps can use, but the techniques are effective because most people aren't. Pretending otherwise is disingenuous.

Do you really hate working with other people or do you suffer from some form of anxiety when in group settings (e.g. social anxiety)? If it's the latter, maybe you could try some CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with a qualified therapist? Otherwise, there's already some good advice in this thread.

Best wishes.
I think they're referring to the idea of companies jealously guarding access to any and all source code because copyright doesn't protect them anymore, while FOSS authors have no protections.

I don't think that that's a realistic fear, though; this is basically already how it works with FOSS code being used in remotely-hosted SaaS systems and there being no effective legal recourse for FOSS authors.

It just doesn't officially say it yet in a law.

Prop 47 and SF's "criminals are oppressed by society" approach to crime are to blame here. You can't get the grunts to roll on the bosses if all you can charge them with is a misdemeanor, and you can't get police to even arrest thieves if the DA refuses to prosecute.

This doesn't happen in other big cities like NYC, Boston, Chicago, etc.

Not in the slightest. I firmly believe that everyone should be able to speak their mind no matter what it is so long as it does not advocate for violence or harm to another person. They should not lose their job, they should not be ostracized, and companies should be held civilly liable if they terminate someone for speech outside of the workplace.

I think the point is not that biology is never relevant to politics, but politics isn't inherently based in race.
Humans have a huge array of tribal identities and affiliations which cross racial lines. The idea that "natural" groupings are based on race is absurd. Even in the historical context, there are a peletora of examples where personal interest trumps biological alliances and diverse alliances are formed.

I really wonder how this is going to play out. For those who don't follow the current situation with Sci-Hub, Alexandra (the creator and likely the sole operator) of Sci-Hub shut down the part of the website ("the magical proxy") that is responsible for fetching the papers that were not previously retrieved. This was done to comply with the request of the Indian court, as described in the article.

As a result, any papers published in 2021 (and some of the rarer, older ones, that nobody tried to access in the past) are not retrievable by Sci-Hub. The user only gets to see a white screen.

This is meant to be a temporary measure, but it's been going on since December of last year (due to various court hearing delays), and the desperation in online communities like the r/scihub subreddit has been palpable [1,2].
