> It is almost as if these "tech" companies are trying to sow divisiveness

It's worked in their business model for over a decade. Their actions over the last five years have shown they have built up operations as core competencies in helping divide our country. Although one could argue they are just delivering what their customers want (otherwise customers would leave said platforms).
> didn't want to learn

This right here is the problem. A lifetime commitment to learning, especially when it is inconvenient, is a requirement to be successful in software development.
It’s an interesting question. I think I’ll meet you halfway and debate it.

The central question here seems to be ethics. Is it moral to download entertainment when someone doesn’t want you to?

My view is, nobody is harmed. You could argue that there was financial harm to the original show — in this case, Stargate SG-1. But I would say they’ve failed to give us a way to reasonably enjoy the show, when the best alternative is to simply torrent it.

Suppose the show was made available for $2,000. Would you still argue that it’s wrong to torrent it?

If so, we’ll have to agree to disagree; my view is that if nobody is harmed, then it’s usually fine.

If not, then there exists a price threshold beyond which it would become unreasonable to expect someone to pay. The person you were replying to was saying that they felt the show crossed that threshold.
Yes and that's a good thing. Politics is mostly a game of pretend and therefore bullshit, as uhh.. engineers we like to be more practical. We simply see the bullshit they are selling regardless of political affiliation. If they wanted to actually solve problems the approach and results would be totally different.
It’s almost as if taking cannabis (and a few other things) off schedule 1 would allow for publicly funded research into the dangers and benefits of these drugs so that we all could be better informed.
I don't think this was really a practical thing and I think there'd be other signs of an attempt at if if so. The final version of the SNES PPU probably would have resembled the NES PPU more, for example, in small ways like tile sizes at the very least. There's at least one mode on the snes ppu that's kiiiinda like the nes ppu's standard behaviour but it's just off enough to make reusing code for it fairly hard I think.

And then I think you'd have seen a mapper for the NES that more closely resembled the 65816's native addressing, since that would definitely have eased such porting efforts. But even the MMC5, which was first used the same year the SNES came out didn't move much in that direction.

Tbh I think you're also overestimating the assemblers they used at the time as well, both in terms of the expressiveness of the macros they had available and and kind of dead code removal you might be imagining happening.

I think a much simpler explanation is just that they had it in mind as a possibility from the start and they made some design choices that were both easy and would have allowed it. They may have been leaving open the possibility of an adapter cart like the genesis power base converter (which had much less work to do) too. But they also decided fairly early on that it wasn't really worth it economically and nixed it early enough that it didn't make a huge impact on the architecture.

> do not exist because of regulatory capture

It's reasonable to conclude that Facebook and Twitter have benefitted greatly by not having expenses to properly monitor their platform due to section 230 safe harbor exemption. They are able to get away with selective enforcement on their platform and not pay a monetary penalty for doing so.
First the interface problem needs to be solved, after that we get a good picture of adoption.

That there are gigantic torrents available is almost useless. A popcorn time type of GUI client is needed that allows search, can dl the right chunks reasonably fast, seeds the rare chunks, has tit for tad implemented for a group of torrents. Could even do full text search by downloading all possible candidates after applying some bloomfilter.
How do you know that they "continue to be the rule rather than the exception"? Have you done a statistically valid survey of programmers working or seeking work and what their working conditions are?

If you are forming an opinion based on articles that come to your attention, then you are getting a highly biased view of the world. Nobody writes articles about how their programming job is great, everything is fine, and they're treated with respect and paid well. If anybody did, they wouldn't be upvoted or shared on news-sharing sites. Due to this, you'll basically never see or hear about people who are happy and doing well. Only stories about things that seem outrageous get written and shared.

There are probably hundreds of thousands of people working as full-time programmers in the US alone. It only takes maybe like 5 stories a year making it into your reading to shape an opinion. But one-sided stories from 5/100,000 = 0.005% of the population don't reflect reality. Have any of these stories even been investigated to see what other people involved in the situation think? It's fairly common for horror stories to be exaggerated and to leave out equally poor behavior by the author. Some may be entirely made up in an attempt to get karma or fame or to trash somebody they have a grudge against for some other reason. Not in every case for sure, but it's common enough that you shouldn't just take such stories at face-value.

If the vast majority of working programmers on here tell you that it's a seller's market and treatment and pay is generally very good, that's a lot more likely to reflect reality than a trickle of one-sided horror stories that go viral. Just in my personal experience, I've worked with hundreds of other professional programmers, and never seen anyone be mistreated in such severe ways. Everyone I know has been quite comfortable with quitting for reasons like not liking the culture enough or not getting big enough raises fast enough, and everyone who has will have another offer for work in hand already before they actually quit.
What’s your point? That we should continue to favor gas cars over EVs? That cars should be taken off the road entirely? Something else?
Somehow building a list of pointers to original content does simply not have the same ring to me as a product that rehashes all of the content. A rehashing of content sounds to me much more like, for example, publishing a sequel to my favourite book. After all, a sequel is just a rehashing of the same characters in new adventures. If we can't do that, why should Copilot be fine?

My point was however that I'm just utterly failing to see how the youtube-dl test thing could be more of a copyright problem than this entire thing based on millions of others' works that is Copilot.

I've been in largely the same situation as OP - early-stage startup, rushed work on an MVP requiring far too many bells and whistles, CEO doing a crucial demo before potential investors who would likely make or break the company.

The crucial difference in my case was that the CEO was whipsmart, and a natural salesman; he knew his market, he knew his audience, and he knew our work. He ran through the app enough times in advance of the demo to know it inside and out, and he prefaced his demo with boilerplate warnings that it was an MVP/prototype and that bugs were to expected - he did this so effectively that it almost seemed like he had them excited about the prospect of seeing bugs. When the inevitable faults in the application / backend did occur, he was able to gracefully roll with the punches and sustain the momentum: he joked his way past it and adjusted his approach as he ran through the failed step again (having correctly guessed at what the problem was with his input the first time around). The investors could see - as our CEO had emphasized up-front - that the shortcomings were superficial, and that both the app and underlying system were fundamentally solving the problems they were meant to solve - and doing so in novel ways for the vertical we were in, with much better UX than that vertical was accustomed to.

That company succeeded by any measure, and is still running strong today. And at least 80% of why it succeeded, imo, is because of the quality of its earliest employees, both C-level and technical. A CEO may not need to be a one-in-a-million kind of guy or gal, but they definitely do need to be one-in-a-whole-lotta-thousands, at the very least - if they're just another thoroughly average individual with an oversized ego and a 'fake it till we make it' ethos, you are screwed - no amount of unpaid blood, sweat and tears in the trenches will save you. We were lucky enough to have an inspiring and intelligent CEO who brought in critical voices rather than yes men, and who at the early stages of the company's life would often directly interface with the coders who were designing the apps and systems he and his sales people would be pitching to potential investors, partners, and customers. And when your company has ~5-20 employees, that's absolutely how it should be - all doors should be open. Rigid management hierarchies are no more than adult make-believe at this stage, and indulging in them is inherently toxic.

Anyways, I suppose OP's story is really just an old and universal one: bad management will fail, and it will always find someone else to blame for its failures.
It's not a commercial, just stating the reality. Alcohol is an independent concern.

That’s how I felt in my 20s. What’s above is my opinion in my 50s, after multiple hospitalizations and serious chronic illnesses.

Best option of all is to stay fit. Some of mine were out of my control (genetics), but some were probably not. And the extent to which the genetic ones expressed was probably somewhat in my control.
I don’t know the percentage off hand but it’s certainly quite high and we do see huge numbers of fake O365 login sites in particular (often tailored to the intended victim’s company). The problem, though, is that the less frequent fake invoice or malware drive-by phish does a lot more damage, so frequency isn’t a great gauge of overall implied risk. Many of these other kinds of phish originate from third party accounts that have themselves been taken over. So it’s critical to deploy MFA to protect yourself, but that doesn’t help with all your third party contacts who don’t require MFA themselves. There have also been, in the last 6-9 months, more published on attacks that subvert MFA.

You’d also be surprised how many “please buy gift card” kinds of phish we see. And yes people do fall for them if they get through.
It was a while ago but the ones I remember were email subscriptions, custom javascript, and custom instance support in the iOS app.

Thank You for clarifying the reasoning. That does make more sense and makes it more justified. I still think it would be better to at least have the write.as fork be open source even if you can’t ensure stability/any sort of support.
You're right, thanks for the explanation.
At the very least when you design a new microprocessor you design and simulate it using software running on a computer. Then when that new processor releases, you build a computer with it and then you can simulate and design an even more powerful microprocessor. The tools and production equipment in the fab are also likely designed and partially simulated using CAD tools as well so there's an additional benefit there.
An app like the one the author of the article is talking about doesn't need "extraordinary" coders. The reason for the crash was that someone entered invalid data. That is a very simple, and very common, problem that you only start to understand with a bit of experience. You don't need to be a brilliant genius to understand it. Literally every dev whose worked on a few apps can deal with it. But you do need to have worked with real QAs and real customers in order to understand that people do stupid things that you need to protect against. No one is teaching that in a compsci class. Juniors learn that from seniors. If you have no seniors, demos failing on "obvious" things is exactly what happens.
Oh. I didn't even see that. That does indeed make the text legible, thank you. Sadly it makes the entire page too bright, but at least its readable!
> There’s a reason that Spotify is hugely popular while it’s a lot less common to buy an album on iTunes. It’s the reason AYCE KBBQ and buffets are popular.

Yes, but the reason is not the subscription model. People like variety. The subscription model actually prevents good variety in a network. Read my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27804511 . You bring up Spotify, but music is a fundamentally different product than news or videos.

> flat-rate subscriptions are easier for people to see value in

What you're saying is that people are getting duped into paying higher prices for lower quality content. While you might be right, this isn't a point in favor of the subscription model.

> they can consume without concern of overages

There is no reason a service can't help a user track their consumption and let the user configure a warning if they're hitting the configured limit. The subscription service is a very inflexible way of ensuring people stay within their budget.

The real problem is that pay-per-view content is massively overpriced. Of course people opt for subscription services when for the price of 3 pay-per-view movies, they can watch 30 movies on a subscription service. If pay-per-view content were priced commensurately with subscription services, it would change the game.

The sci-hub archive is partly supported by libgen.rs. To ensure that their content remains accessible, they have thousands of very large torrents, many of which are not well seeded. If you have a few TB of disk space and bandwidth to spare, it's a good way to help out.

Not using them much, but it works fine.
All you really need is a searchable database that points you to the torrent containing the paper you want. Then just download the part of the torrent that you need.

Long as the seeders stick around, this is decentralized, simple, and very hard to block.

Pretty sure this already exists, too, though it's extremely unpolished.

Which arthritis med, exactly? So many have been pulled off the shelf by the FDA.

It converts an NES rom to an SNES rom. Here are the instructions from the source[1]:

Step 1, click "Open Nes" and select a game.
Step 2, (optional) select or create a profile.
Step 3, click "Save Snes", a file will be created in the same folder as your Nes game.
Step 4, play on Snes hardware or Snes emulator.
Step 5, (Optional) click "Load SRM" and select the SRM file(s) generated by the Nes emulator,
feedback will be saved to the profile so the game can run faster after repeating steps 1-4.

The Taliban itself is predominantly foreign to Afghanistan too.

It was created by Pakistan due to the fear of the soviet invasion spilling into their country, it was ideologically and financially supported by the Saudis with some logistical support early on form the US.

The Saudis gave the funds for the ISI to train 100,000 fighters and introduced what essentially was a new religion into the area. Afghanistan wasn’t historically particularly conservative from a religious point of view Deobandi/Salafi fundamentalism is quite foreign, mosques were rare to non existent in the tribal areas and organized religion doesn’t overall works that well with a predominantly tribal and illiterate population.

Exactly this - people spend more time talking about frameworks than solving problems sometimes - the framework will not solve it and people have built huge / successful apps w rudimentary stack
Why not? This makes little sense to me. Why shouldn't a compiler optimize it?
It can be tricky in that fuzzing your program to discover race conditions seems to behave perfectly on one compilation target where these atomics are detected and reified, while you later discover on another platform surprisingly your app crashes 20% of the time.

Ideally we test our applications on all hardware, with all configuration permutations etc. etc. In practice we do rely on our compilers translating our intent accurately and sometimes such edge cases matter.

Compatibility is a tricky thing. It's kind of like the argument whether adding optional arguments to a function breaks BC. It doesn't break BC if you don't pass those parameters. But if for some reason you were passing extra parameters hoping they'd be ignored (for example as a handler some other place) then adding optional parameters WILL break BC and cause your software's behavior to be undefined.

The zero page is very small, I don't think this was done that much. You'd constantly be writing large gobs of stuff into it and that'd be very slow.

That said, the stack was used as a fast indirect jump address location pretty frequently, as described here, essentially abusing the fact that PHS and RTS are 1 byte instructions: http://www.6502.org/tutorials/6502opcodes.html#RTS

And really since basically all PC-modifying instructions operate on either relative (b*), absolute-indirect (jmp), absolute (jmp, jsr), or stack-indirect (rts, rti) there's no special benefit you get from having code in the zero page anyways afaik.
