There was a lot of money to be made on the platforms that OSS ran on from the very beginning of OSS. That's not a change. It wouldn't have been an issue if there wasn't.

In the eyes of original generation of OSS supporters, the 'lot of money to be made' was what made OSS important, to ensure that people access to software that served them as users, instead of just being made to make a lot of money off of them.

Arguably, despite the takeover of open source, that vision failed.

So, now, rather than opposing "money to be made" with the "interest of users" those opposed to open source (while making a case that they are the ones really more "in the original spirit of open source" than open source itself)... say they are sticking up for the ability of the small entrepeneur to make money not just the big corporation.

That's the change, not that there's a lot of money to be made from software. From the start of the OSS movement there was a lot of money to be made off of software, if there weren't OSS wouldn't have been relevant in the first place. Original OSS said if making sure users have the freedom to do what they need with software reduces the money to be made off of it... that's fine. New line says the thing is to reserve the right of the small entrepeneuers (or those who can convince the internet mob that they are smaller and more deserving than Amazon anyway) to make money off users, and try to prevent big corporations from getting a piece of the pie that rightfully belongs to "deserving" businesses, who are deserving because... they're smaller.

I have some ideas of what the differences actually are, I think it's not about how much money is to be made, but how the actual individual software engineers made money; who their employers were and how those employers behaved. I think it has to do with both greater "austerity" and "efficiency" among large employers, and greater dreams of getting rich as an "entrepeneur" among individual developers.

Rust can link 32-bit code that can run 16-bit segmented mode [0] and if you can figure out the right set of protected mode magick, you could almost certainly get it working in flat mode.

I started working on a DOS-based project and played around with Rust before deciding that it was going to be tough and would not be as optimal as just dropping to C and using OpenWatcom which is pretty capable considering its age, IMO.

What mechanism are you thinking of? One in which having offspring is rewarding and so enters into the same learning algorithm, or one in which the learning algorithm/action selection is evolved and differentially conserved?
Memory safety without a GC.

AFAIK short of SPARK:

* Ada has pointer arithmetic, you can overflow buffers or read out of bounds.

* Dynamic allocation is straight unsafe and unchecked (unless you have a GC, in which case… you have a GC), you can use-after-free and double-free if you copy pointers beforehand.

* Accessing uninitialised variables is not forbidden.

* You can dereference null pointers (though it should cause an exception so I guess that's memory-safe).

That's a favorite film right there. Thanks for posting. The origin story in the article sounds a bit more like _Witchboard_ though (another favorite), in the malevolent-spirit sense.

Things I like about _The Changeling_:

- Strong architectural admiration and even architectural focus

- Brooding everything, but with a very supportive group of people around the main brooder. His pain is their pain, and this works really well in the film. I wish more films of this type did this.

- Strong internal-sensation focus. External stimuli like loud sounds, fast movements, etc. all seem to urge the plot along yet are so sporadic and conservatively used. You feel like you are insulated, practically inside of the main character's head.

IMO this last one is essentially the suspense instrument of the film. It's much less story and much more a sensational question: What sensory thing will happen next?

I do think the antagonistic Senator could have been handled more deftly in the story, because the question of his guilt really never resolved in a way I found satisfactory. For example I think his character could have been given something of a redemption arc, making the film much more satisfactory in the end. You can easily argue that he was caught up in events beyond his control, and never had the education or assistance in processing the events.
The fact that a post about leaving Google still makes it HN means that Google still commands attention and respect, especially given that such posts came up once every few months. In contrast, people are not so keen on "Leaving Oracle", "Leaving IBM", or "Leaving Amazon". Sadly, though, every company will eventually get into the latter group, no matter how great it once was.
I think there will inevitably be a long "dating" period with a new co-founder who you're working with for the first time, and a fairly high attrition rate with these relationships, concentrated in the early days.

In practice though, I do believe that if you work with someone for several months on a serious trial project you should be able to build a fair amount of confidence in the relationship's potential. I'd definitely still recommend talking through what a co-founder breakup would look like and signing documents that include a vesting cliff before actually starting something real together though. (That advice applies no matter how you met your co-founder.)
> It is customary when simulating heat flow to use a wacky color palette where red is hot and blue is cold, with all kinds of intermediate colors in between

In an otherwise excellent article, this is the only issue I could find. We really need to stop using/recommending/normalizing rainbow color maps (i.e. jet). They actively confuse readers by creating visual artifacts that aren't actually in the data.

This article has some great explanations and visuals.

https://jakevdp.github.io/blog/2014/10/16/how-bad-is-your-co...

The original post uses a rainbow color map to represent temperature-related things because having a diverging color map is often a useful intuition for temperature heat maps. But in that case, we should prefer one of the following diverging color maps listed on the matplotlib site (this list definitely isn't exhaustive, but it is helpful).

Hot tubs are pretty warm. That'd be an extraordinary amount of energy. Would be interested to see data, measuring water temperature is pretty easy
W11 and Microsoft is kinda interchangeble in this conversaion imo, since no other party could pose direct influence on the W11 roll out. If this term stays in OEM realm then all is good, webcams are already everywhere. However W10 hasn't been pleasant in terms of tracking and telemetry and I find it hard to have good faith in W11.
Yep I think it's tooling, tech. Ubercoin and Airbnbcoin type apps are inevitable I think. There's no reason for all drivers to give away their time at a fixed cost for Uber, and auctions would allow 5 star drivers to gain a lot more than 4 star drivers, even 4.8 star drivers. Uber doesn't allow for this, but that's the thing with permission-less innovation - you will be allowed to do stuff people can't even imagine right now.
That’s not what I meant by privacy conscious.

They don’t need your IP address to track usage or health metrics. Most of it can be collected anonymously. We should encourage software to simply not collect personal information at all.
I have to question whether or not this recording was legal. I don't know first-hand what UK's surreptitious recording laws are, but according to this website[0]:

> In the United Kingdom, all parties are required to be notified and give consent regarding recordings. The only exceptions are if the person making the recording can guarantee that it won’t be shared with third parties, and that it is being recorded either to collect evidence/prevent possible crime or to prove regulatory compliance.

Several USA states have "all party consent" laws as well. Namely California, Florida, and some others. So where were the Greenpeace people located, and where was McCoy located? Because this sounds like a felony to me.

> Industry codes for British broadcasters and newspaper are more permissive than U.S. publications, according to Glenda Cooper, a senior journalism lecturer at City, University of London. Intrusions such as an undercover recording can be seen as a last resort for information deemed to be in the public interest. "It is seen as part of the investigative journalist’s tool kit, if it can be justified,” she said. “It’s not the first thing that you do."

Does Greenpeace get to decide what's legal and what's not in the UK? I don't really care about this one way or another, I'm just interested in the legality of this recording and subsequent release in the first place.

It's a fundamental tenet of the Catholic belief system. If you're not Catholic christian, then you're Pagan, and it follows if you're not adhering to Catholic Christianity then you are doomed.

Not Christianity in all its forms, sure, but Catholicism absolutely.

Just because Aquinas questioned if "pagans" could be virtuous in spite of their beliefs, does not mean he didn't believe they were destined for exclusion from God. He might have written more positively about them than his counterparts and colleagues in the church, but he was looking down his nose at them.

I don't consider adherents to a dogma reaching out in "charity" to be a relationship of equitable footing. It reminds me of that old English nonsense of "noble savages". Just because they called them "noble"...

edit:

Happy to remove my personal opinions.

I'm not making up these perspectives; this is dogma according to the Catholic Encyclopedia: https://www.catholic.com/encyclopedia/paganism. And it's literally in the abstract of the first paper linked to.

Aquinas, as a function of his adherence to that dogma, presumed all Pagans to be doomed as a function of their not adhering to the same dogma. He considered them possibly capable of virtue, but morally inferior.

Probably the best comparable is Germany moving the capital to Berlin, which is a bigger deal than it sounds.

Bonn is convenient to Brussels and Paris and looks westward to the heart of the EU, Berlin is a commitment to more economic integration w/ Poland, and the east.

I was surprised that when I tested my canvas library website using the new Lighthouse metrics it scored 92 on performance (and 99 on accessibility, which is the metric I most care about). The website[1] includes a massive animated banner in a <canvas> element which requires loading two large (yet responsive) images alongside processing etc to get the animation playing. The LCP measure was 0.7s

Checking web.dev's LCP page[2] explains my luck - Lighthouse does not (currently) consider <canvas> elements, or their asset requirements, when calculating the LCP score. They do include: "<img> elements; <image> elements inside an <svg> element; <video> elements (the poster image is used); an element with a background image loaded via the url() function (as opposed to a CSS gradient); and block-level elements containing text nodes or other inline-level text elements children."

I am certainly not suggesting that everyone starts loading their image-heavy banner content into <canvas> elements to help improve their LCP scores as I fully expect Google to address such attempts to game the system at some point in the (near) future.

I've done manual labor. If I could work in software despite only by not making any more than I would in manual labor, I’d still work in software.

Interesting, I didn’t know big companies like eBay would actually consider a part time employee. Do they really mean that, or are they signaling they seek an intern/student?

The availability of part time work always felt like a package that included a tiny shop, cheap clients, and insane amount of cheap international labor competition, and only available through platforms that promote all three things (upwork, etc).
If I may offer a little critical thinking, to a very biased, alarmist piece. This it seems very clear this is hit piece. It throws around some big numbers and a quote from some local, and comes up very short on analysis, and very big on leading readers into a particular conclusion.

Firstly, using lakes to cool power plants is not unusual or uncommon. They don't really make that clear, and it feels like they want the reader to think this is nefarious. To me the title of this should be something more like "Residents forgot the lake gets warmer when the power plant operates".

As far as the 135 million allowed to be discharged into the lake daily, it is an incredibly small amount compared to the size of the lake. According to Wikipedia, the volume of the lake is 3.81 cu/miles of water. A quick search tells me 1 cu/mi =~ 1.1 trillion gallons. Okay, some more rough math gives us a total of about 4.2 trillion gallons in the lake of which 135M gallons is something like 0.000032% of the total volume.

So my point is that when the article throws a figure like 135M gallons at you with no context it seems huge. But when you look at it in context, 3 one hundred thousands of one percent of the total, I have a hard time imagining that has any measurable impact on the lake whatsoever. I'm sure the quoted resident that lives very near to the plant had noticed the warmth, but anywhere else on the lake?

On top of this, the plant is under strict scrutiny by the regulators, and they appear to be operating withing the limits outlined by said regulators. So if there is anyone to get mad at here it's not the plant operators, it's the Department of Environmental Conservation.
The, "Could not be made today," line of thinking is overblown. I predicted around 2015 that a movie in the style of "Falling Down" could never be made with a black lead. Less than 2 years later, Get Out was released. And as far as scandal-worthiness goes, I think if Sorry To Bother You got past the salacity filter, we're doing pretty good.

Absolutely. I have solar energy and I mine XMR with it. It's nice and clean.

My country has an obnoxious "incentive" structure where the power companies aren't actually required to pay me for the energy I generate. They give me "kWh credits" which expire if unused for over one year. So I have no reason to generate more energy than I need.

Cryptocurrency changed everything. It allowed me to sink my surplus energy production into proof-of-work. I get paid for it and get to support an amazing project like Monero.
Pretty much. It's amazing to me that so many developers are en masse choosing to not get rich in the biggest opportunity for startups in the last decade or more.

This kind of misses the point of his comment though. There's now tons of ASICs and FPGAs in networking gear that relies on network byte order for optimal performance. No one's advocating for changing that.

I'm not sure what you mean. It can still be operated offline, in which case there is no telemetry sent. The analytics is just another service that you can use.
> Would love to see examples. Really curious.

You are either posing this in deliberate bad faith or you live under a rock. WhatsApp is flooded with antimuslim fake videos, lynching, burning, killing of purportedly Hindu people by Muslims. Many of these have been traced to BJP's IT cell.

In fact the IT cell head himself tweeted the identity of the gangrape victim of Hathras although that is a crime to do so according to criminal law.

So it is quite clear where the government's interest lies -- not in stopping government sponsored hate speech and fakenews but as an instrument to suppress criticism.

Given your stance I am beginning to suspect you may be one of those paid shills yourself.
The difference is you expect that from China, but not from US that has something called a First Amendment that used to mean something in the past. If you justify censure in USA with examples from China, that's saying USA is going down.
They are, but "lobbying" in the Lobbying Disclosure Act is pretty narrowly defined. A fly-by-night Facebook ad operation, or whatever it was that the shadow groups he was talking about were doing, doesn't constitute lobbying under the LDA. Also, if you give money to a nonprofit, and that nonprofit spends its money on lobbyists, it's the nonprofit's identity that's disclosed, not yours, and depending on the kind of nonprofit entity, it might not have to disclose who its funders are.
