There are plenty of optimizations in Linux, they just pick ones that don't break userspace. Similarly compiler writers could do optimizations without breaking user programs. Although I guess testing compiler backward compatibility would probably be more difficult than kernel backward compatibility, since compilers present a larger interface (multiple entire programming languages).
Some years ago in the UK when teachers were leaving the profession in droves (stress, paperwork, and result of little actual teaching hours), one of the newspapers (The Guardian, I think) had a front page headline:

All kinds of unethical horrible stuff doesn't get a Secret Service raid.

The whole point of the unethical horrible stuff was to get people to think about what they were doing, think about what was happening with tech and surveillance, think at all.

An artist got their home raided, Cambridge Analytica - which was manipulation on an industrial scale - barely got a slapped wrist. Ad tech uses mass surveillance to build personal profiles and hardly anyone notices - because the surveillance and behaviour mod happen under the surface.

Who is more unethical? Which response was proportionate?

There is a snag, one that Popper didn't understand either, but which makes this all the clearer: predictions are never proven correct in science. They are shown to be "not false within the bounds of statistical and measurement error". So one guy doing well at least shows he is "not wrong", but within arbitrarily large error margins, because he is just one guy and it might all be just a coincidence. Only if you repeat the experiment a sufficient number of times you will arrive at error margins that are not laughably huge.

So the feedback loop doesn't mean anything really, beyond weeding out huge mistakes (huge as in: same magnitude as the error bars). Because it is always just one guy, no numbers, no statistics.

To get back to Popper: Newton's gravity wasn't really proven wrong, it just had its error bars known and explained. Einstein's general relativity is more precise, therefore less wrong and can explain Newtons error bars. But Newton's gravity is still right enough for almost all purposes. So it isn't falsified in Popper's sense, it is refined.

What does that have to do with anything?

I mean, it takes no effort at all to copy/paste AGPL code into a proprietary project. But you're still not supposed to do it, right?
You're putting the cart before the horse here. The reason why the other developed nations get cheaper access to to medicine is because of collective bargaining from more organized insurance schemes (e.g. single payer), or because of price capping by governments. Not 'because' the US subsidizes R&D through high prices. The US pays high prices because it chooses as system in which that's acceptable, and the pharmaceutical companies design their own pricing around it.

If the US stopped the madness, the companies would rebalance their pricing systems. If what you say is true, maybe every other developed nation would have to pay more.

I'm skeptical of this entire theory, however. It's not like major pharmaceutical companies just barely breaking even, and are selling their products at a loss in Europe. There is a lot of room for profit margins to be squeezed.
What the source code says it does is exactly specced in the language standard. If the compiler changes this then that's a compiler bug. What you really meant to say is what people assume source code does, not what it says it does.
I'm not sure how filtering based on size relates to filtering out domains for sale, spam domains etc. Lots of legit domains have small size or large size and lots of spam domains similarly vary in size.

Filtering out unwanted domains (sale, spam etc) is a problem for a bunch of regexes, bayesian classification or machine learning.

Edit: I think I misread the original post quite badly and I don't understand the proposed feature.

”Obsidian loads blazing fast. No network requests or fancy animations.”

In my experience, those who teach teachers have been uniformly excellent, impressive people (teaching is hard!). Those who teach are quite varied depending on whether they actually wanted to teach or are just doing it as a fallback.
That went faster than expected, awesome to see!

My major issue with the mobile apps is the syncing. On iOS you get to decide between iCloud or Obsidian Sync. On Android you can hack together something with third-party syncing apps and local disk storage. But if you have been using Dropbox or OneDrive for syncing on your PC, you won't be able to (bidirectional) sync your data to your mobile devices (out of the box).

Obsidian Sync is awesome and at $4 per month (early bird lifetime) very tempting, but then with max 4 GB per vault (à 5 vault) including history, you can't exactly compare it with the 1+TB you get on Dropbox and OneDrive, meaning you'll have to cut out pictures, audio files, videos etc.

This leaves me a bit conflicted and forces me to rethink the setup I have right now.

The ultimate source of this is Aristotle... the original is (from memory), something like this:

"so simple" ... "in a few hours"

The project is so simple that it would be easier to rewrite it from scratch in that time frame. But the qrencode CLI allows to just avoid that.
If you actually show people everything that Apple, Google, Facebook keep about them including those examples you'll get a very, very different reaction. One is seen the other is not and is denied. Nobody ever agreed to it. There was never informed consent. Show someone their private stuff and they'll freak out very, very hard indeed.
I write stories to teach a foreign language. Using emojis alongside the text is very helpful to help convey the meaning.

That made me realize there is a property of the emojis that is rarely mentioned : they are a fairly extensive free set of consistently designed characters. And they may be the only one out there.

Please tell me your post is satire.

I'm not saying Cambridge Analytica was sufficiently prosecuted, but using the home raid of the author as a comparison screams satire.
A compiler compiles something to something. For example, gcc compiles C code to assembly, which is then compiled to machine code by gas. Clang does the same: https://freecompilercamp.org/clang-basics/
Interesting. Do you think there's no place for ethical discussions in tech, or is your objection closer to the "unelected elite" side of things?
Teaching the course content through lectures is overrated, in my opinion.
I rarely went to lectures, but the ones I did go to I was there not because I felt a need to learn the course material but because I could in some way engage with the lecturer.
One lecturer would talk about how things looked in "real papers", and how new algorithms would get published even though they lacked certain key invariants, and how stupid that was. Another one revealed key insights about the material which he had gained himself. This kind of knowledge exchange is far more important than the course material. You've got the chance to hear what and how some really smart people think about difficult subjects, that's amazing!

Learning is easy, you just sit down and you engage with the material in earnest. Whether that's course material or research papers doesn't matter too much. Figuring out other people's perspective without them explicitly telling you is way more difficult.
Adding to thewakalix's answer, many compilers use LLVM as a backend, where LLVM's IR is higher-level-than-bytecode language too. So that would mean that e.g Clang or current GHC wouldn't qualify either.
As someone that follows seasonal anime, I'm surprised how little isn't subbed. I haven't found a single thing yet which didn't have subs. Every popular show is subbed by crunchyroll/funimation, and less popular things (like Godzilla S.P. in the last season, stuck in Netflix jail) had fansubs.
That's a "taste" thing. I think it's a great game...but not the advertised one.

It's far more troubling that too few people are questioning the mass surveillance he was critiquing and dramatising.

It's classic shoot-the-messenger.

Meanwhile Facebook was - and probably still is - tracking people's online behaviour even when they're not logged into Facebook, based on legalese buried in T&Cs which most users don't even know exist, never mind have read, never mind understood, never mind given explicit informed consent to.
> Europe does drug R&D and still manages to sell their drugs at a reasonable price to sick people

Every European drug firm also sells in the US, so I suspect that's taken into account in their business model
The planet is not on the brink of climate catastrophe due to human CO2 emissions. Why? The atmosphere has established a range from about 10C to 25C over the last 2B years or so. It gets warm, it gets cold. Global average temperature has increased and decreased many times, no need for humans to do anything. Recently it's been about as cold as it ever gets, so naturally it's expected that it will do like it has many times in the past, and get warmer. It's not even to its middle temperature; it's still a bit on the cool side.

But what about the especially high CO2 level? It's actually not especially high. It's near the lowest it's ever been. Earth saw stuff like going from 3000 ppm to 4000. No tipping point, no climate catastrophe. We're much closer to a dangerous low point than a dangerous high point, since plant respiration fails around 150 ppm.
My general comment on this is that 1830 was when the industrial revolution got out of beta. That was the year the first serious railroad started operating, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Steam locomotives, reasonably good speeds, no horses or cable hauling, double track, tickets, and schedules. Before that, outside of the textile industry, technology was mostly one-offs.

Before 1840 or so, most people never got more than 50 miles from home. By 1890, in Europe or the US, there were trains to all major cities. In major cities, you could then take an electric street car from the train station by the 1890s.

Here's a railroad map of the US from 1890.[1]

That was the era when the world changed in one lifetime.

Not all CPUs have carry and overflow flags. For example, MIPS, or SPARC, or the new RISC-V.

I'd say people understand very well the implications of a photo. If all there was to a photo is showing "the shell that you won in the genetic lottery" there would hardly be a point in photography.

I disagree with your assessment. It's part acceptance, part different priorities, and part ignorance.

Some people understand what is being gathered and simply accept that as a worthwhile exchange for free stuff. Maybe even a beneficial one (ads are more relevant).

Some people just care about different things than you do. Maybe they're very self-conscious about their image and not particularly concerned about their shopping habits being known.

And some just aren't aware of the potential for abuse that exists with modern data collection. They think we're still at the early stage, where a company is just trying to figure out which brand of beer to stock, and unaware of modern elaborate profile building and the amount of creepy targeting and manipulation they make possible.
> I install a whiteboard on a public place

You're already off. This was private property.

> and say to everyone, "please have a test" then can you complain if someone draw something you don't like on it

This would be more like bolting a camera to the whiteboard in your private place of business. And yes, sometimes comparisons fall apart.
> Then there is a 100m column and a 95m column forcing the water through the membrane

In that scenario, why do you think it helps to put the membrane 100m deep, instead of 5m deep?
I used to hate printers too but that changed when I started using HP Instant Ink.

The printer needs to be connected to wifi all the time but on the flip side, the printer orders ink cartridges well in advance (so they get delivered in time and I have them ready when I need).
I think they mean that existing generic drugs are repurposed for new medical conditions. Where the new condition is then patented.
I'm sure they benefit from public research, lost of industries do, but even public Universities are perfectly capable of patenting their discoveries and getting paid by companies using them. Ours here in the UK certainly do this.
OpenAccess is not a good solution to the issue.

While it keeps access open, it costs ludicrous amounts to submit an article (up to 4k $).

Not to mention the many journals focusing on OA that keep popping up who are purely profit driven, and care little for quality and standards.

With the severe lack of funding in the academic world, OA is not going to be the future, but will potentially skew access and impact towards research with deep pockets (rather than quality).

You’re right it was on Cortex, clarification though:

Grey loves Obsidian, Mike doesn’t really get it though. Neither like Notion, even though it has a massive fan base.

There is a whole episode (maybe the one in question) where it comes to light that Grey has spent most of his life NOT making notes like most people do and instead just highlighting areas in source material and referring back to it.

Very funny episode given they were over 100 episodes into a productivity podcast at this point and had spoken about note taking extensively - without realising that one of them has a very different concept of the practice/process.
Hardly. Except from this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27799795 and maybe another I miss the whole thread is about people growing up in poor countries stating piracy was the only way to watch content.
> I HAVE to believe that the number of folks that can both afford to buy the game and would buy the game, but would try to pirate first, is a fraction of a percent of the market.

I have actual concrete data about this¹ and unfortunately the percentage is much larger than you realise.

I'm still under NDA until 2024 but it's in the region of 60-80% of sales for certain games, especially RPGs which seem to get pirated the most.

People like to cite hugely successful products being DRM-Free or something as proof that it works, but for every project that works well there's hundreds that die in obscurity.

Also, people like to back a champion to "prove that it works" which inflates the margins of the champion product.

¹ - based on my time at Ubisoft, and based on Ubisoft titles only and when accounting for other differences between franchised games.
I started using it - not bad since it stores the data in .md files + offers various export formats. Works fine on Linux and Android. My wishlist would be a more polished Android client, ability to synchronize immediately using iNotify and ability to designate a notebook/page as "main"/"default" and a button to jump to that from anywhere.
You have a similar thing happening with Enchroma-glasses for colorblind. Tons of often somewhat professionally made, heartwarming videos about friends or students buying "expensive glasses" (not that expensive) to someone so they "finally can see colors" (usually without actually saying it directly). And they always go viral with tons of suspiciously similar comments flooding them. All comments about how they actually work, and why they don't work as portrayed are buried by very aggressive comments.
ReFX Nexus perchance? If not it's another example of the crack destroying sales.
How much experience do you have managing people?

In my 15+ years doing so, I’ve never heard or seen a situation in a reasonable organization where someone gets on a list like this (intentionally, as compared to their manager screwing up by not having a conversation with them before it is clearly a huge problem to everyone else) without knowing they are going to get on a list like this if they don’t improve.

I have heard it at many places that are flogging employees or using scare tactics to get every cent worth of value they can put or people before they burn out and get thrown on the rubbish bin.
This reminds me of a random, but chilling, scene in "Minority Report". The protagonist confronts a man he thinks is responsible for killing his child.

The man decides to reassure the protagonist by explaining how kind he was to the child, and made sure the child didn't suffer when he killed him. He's presenting it as though this is a legitimate defense for such an obvious violation. The part that sticks with me is the man's seeming sincerity in believing he's making a case for himself, "yeah I did this horrible thing, but I did it in the nicest way possible so it's really kinda big of me if you think about it"

This post fills me with the same chills. The author's utter lack of culpability for such a viscerally gross violation and strange attempts to spin it as though he's kind of a good person for doing it in a slightly less terrible way than he could have otherwise done it...

To be clear, he didn't go out and do a security research project with ethical standards in place. He made it clear how laughable he considers the concept of 'consent' (an ethical way to do this might've been to take people's pictures, then ask them if they were OK with sharing it right after. He doesn't consider such a process at all)

Instead, he thought of an amoral and illegal way for him to use people without their consent, for his own pleasure, curiosity, and amusement and decided to call it 'art'. There are more horrible ways he could have done the above, sure. But that argument to me sounds as hollow as the "but he didn't suffer" argument from the movie.

Him expressing his own sense of magnanimousness and ironic sense of victimhood at the end of it... it really is a scary glimpse into the mind of such people.

It's sad because it's very easy to misconstrue this as a "security researcher gets feds sent on him by apple" story, and I think lots of people are basically trying to frame it that way, but it's not that at all. To me, it's clearly "jackass doesn't understand consent, apple calls the feds, still a jackass, still doesn't understand".

[Note: yes I know the character in the movie is revealed as a bluff shortly after, the scene sticks with me because of the character's apparent sincerity at the moment]

[Additional Note: yes I know many of these companies also don't respect consent. Them not respecting it is not an excuse for everyone to behave the same way.]
"Rarely" meaning compared to other elementary operations, such as function or method calls. So it makes sense to make function or method calls faster at the expense of making restructuring slower. That's basically the same principle as with Smalltalk and Lisp structures/objects being vectors as opposed to hash tables (like in Ruby or Python), even if it means that adding a field necessitates having to change the layout of existing instances. This way you'd need to also change the layout of other types that use the unboxed representation of the type being altered but the basic principle is the same and you already have the mechanism for updating your existing heap anyway -- so it should be possible and mere possibility of altering a type shouldn't necessitate boxing everything. "If you are allowed to add fields to a class at runtime, you have to box all your objects" should be no more correct than "if you are allowed to add fields to a class at runtime, all your object instances have to be hash tables".
Trusted Solaris did. It was very complicated to use, so only organisations that really needed it were using it.

The product was discontinued in the late 90's and its core features such as RBAC was included in standard Solaris in later versions. However, the more advanced stuff like tagging of connections, etc, was never included and was dropped with the demise of Trusted Solaris. I think it says a lot that I worked at Sun at the time and I actually never used it.
Yes, I'm not criticizing the author, but it's good to know that you don't need fancy tools and you can get to see the enumeration too on your own devices, practically in similar amount of detail.
"Definitely" what?

The parent comment called it IT, so I called it IT, but if use the more specific term "software engineer" I'm still going to say that most software engineering projects aren't likely to injure people when they fail.

Software engineering just doesn't seem to fall in the category of jobs where you'd want to mandate ongoing training... jobs like pilots or psychologists.

Note that today in Chromium-based browsers this does _not_ take a page completely offline - it only affects some specific internal HTTP request APIs, so it's still quite possible to exfiltrate data.
