VSCodium provides Free pre-compiled binaries of VS Code from GitHub, like I was describing. What about it makes me wrong?

I did it two days ago, installing the Copilot plugin in a Free build of VS Code provided by my distro.
I'm sure the check (if implemented) wouldn't be a naive regex that would fail that easily

> Not irrelevant - this is the comparison we're talking about the nature of the difference between Trevor Milton and Elon Musk. If you ignore contradictory evidence because it doesn't support your position that's just cherry picking.

What difference? Unless of course, the case of Tesla's deceptive advertising of its beta FSD system putting the lives of drivers at risk and killing them or others [0] is 'far more serious' than Nikola's deceptive advertising of their whole business. Then yes, I agree on that difference and both must be under very close investigation by the regulators.

More specifically, I'm sure you should also realize that I was criticizing both of them from the start and not 'cherry picking' or siding with any company or person, unlike you mentioning Musk's other companies which that is completely irrelevant.

> They've also shipped more features toward this goal over time which is what they said they'd do.

Despite this, it is still unreliable [1] and the safety risks still stands, even when the driver is behind the wheel and is attentive of what is in front of them.

Highlighting these risks is extremely important such that it is the difference between life or death and it can be from a malfunction in the software that controls the car.

> Do the above quotes sound like some neutral descriptor to you?

Excuse me?

It is an objective fact. Isn't it? [2] [3] Why do you feel offended of this fact? I'm sure the customers will listen to them because they think they know what they are talking about? Don't they?

I might be wrong on this but I think their fact checking partners just go all around on Facebook and fact check specific links and claims, I don’t think it’s flagged automatically and paired with a fact check, or at least the few I looked at were directly referencing the source for the content that was shared.
The last comment from Amazon before they locked the thread mentions they are putting together more packaging options.
Maybe? Messenger is just an instant messaging platform like iMessage or Whatsapp. Technically speaking you can stumble upon group chats that disseminate misinformation, but Messenger doesn't show you group chat recommendations like Facebook.
They could be using glass foam which would be vastly friendlier to the environment.
What was your experience like? Surprised/not surprised?
Genuinely interested, do you have some pointers about what you mean by NT-style IO? How would you characterize it?
pip is not a general operating system package manager, it's a python package manager. despite many users wanting it, distributing random packages which may or may not be python-based is not what pip is for, and clearly not what the aws-cli team wants to use pip for.

just because a customer wants something, doesn't mean it's a reasonable request. i'm sure there are plenty of people who would also like to install the official aws-cli through cargo, gem, or npm.
I thought the same for 30 years. Then I moved to Southern California. I don't miss the any of those things. My allergies are gone. My exercise routine is consistent and my outdoor hobbies increased. Beach, mountains, flatland, desert, gardens, etc are all within 1 or 2 hours from me.
Mostly useful for contemplating the tragic state of security in corporate IT. Maybe the seed of a startup idea for fixing it.
I know that. You've misread my question. The idea is that the backer won't upload the PDF on file sharing websites because the author will find it and trace it back to the backer using the watermark. But if the backer was anonymous by means of fake information provided to the author at the time of purchase then it's not deterring anything.
1.20.x is there: https://pypi.org/project/awscli/

Anyway, i can just

and keep moving. Whatever.
And yet you are witnessing exactly what I describe today in realtime.

Censorship went from censoring crazy conspiracy theorist Alex Jones in 2017, to affecting everyone in the public as well as heads of state.

I said this was going to happen the very day he was deplatformed. With great power comes great temptation and abuse nearly a certainty to follow.
Nope, they're just the CentOS 7 and CentOS 8 userlands running on top of the host kernel.
I don't follow enough users to have a flourishing newsfeed, so facebook gives me suggestions to follow pages and shows posts from those pages. These suggestions are purely based on what facebook thinks I may like.

With people having enough sources to feed their newsfeed, facebook decides the order and cherry picks what posts are shown.

> Is facebook wrong for showing you the things you said you want it to show you?

I do agree with this. Coming to a solution to this would be hard problem. Users will have to give finer information about types of posts people like from a creator. I doubt there are any real work incentives for a big company to build a system like this.
Get your AuthZ design right early on, or you’ll forever be plagued with APIs that fail open or aren’t protected, and it’s so very hard to change later on.

No, not every multiplayer game needs an authoritive server. It depends largely where your priorities are. For myself, having a base of players with some cheaters would be a great problem to have.
No tech talent shortage in Australia. I’ve been job hunting for the past two years and it’s jobs offering 30-40% less than my current salary or fail to get me excited about the product/tech means I’m still looking daily. I have a few friends in a similar situation. Career wise, moving to Australia has been career suicide.

Australia has a tech job shortage. Australia is a tech dinosaur a good 10 years behind the UK.

It’s either low payed startups, with no funding, no equity for the risk+low pay, not that strong a product or it’s large corporate big data jobs (ETL) with all the issues of large old corporate companies where IT is a cost center and layers of management and staff churn.

Since Australia has closed the borders they haven’t been able to import developers. Likewise salaries have remained stagnant. People in good jobs are staying in good jobs with no temptation to move for better pay or more exciting projects.

Why use "heavily biased" to characterize the most common entry points for recent state espionage operations and ransomware attacks.

These ARE the most routinely exploited vulnerabilities.

Attacks on end-consumers usually rely on social engineering, not vulnerability exploitation, especially because Windows, Mac, and Linux has been heavily fortified against basic exploits.

Most of the CVEs on the linked list are corporate gear running the same firmware since the 2000s, which explains why these devices are so heavily targeted right now. Easy exploits, large payouts, win!
> do they just think that everyone else is so easily manipulated, but somehow they're above the fray?

Based on my own anecdotal evidence, it’s exactly this. The people that went down the rabbit hole of QAnon on YouTube are, in their mind, the informed ones. They’re the ones that went out of their way to do the research and the rest of us are just lemmings. Thus, spending hours staring at an algorithmically generated video feed is actually a positive attribute rather than the obviously negative one the rest of us see.
I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of swarms kit. It is unique — competes with other low-bandwidth satcom solutions but at a low cost and very low power. I think there is a need for their modems, particularly in the IoT space with long-running very remote devices which they fit very nicely. Good luck to them!

I am curious about the results.

Having tested copilot, most suggestions are based on existing code in your opened file. Furthermore, most snippets tend to be relatively short, where it feels more like a Stack Overflow answer than existing code.

Of course it is possible to make the model generate longer pieces of code that are potentially GPL. But you would have to do certain effort for it. It also tends to adopt your coding style.

But maybe the fact that there are no guarantees makes it unfair.
Just guessing, but presumably it'd involve more hardware to support the charging, for a small increase in price/size/complexity, and (probably more importantly) change the feel of the crank to be much more resistant, which would change how the games that use it felt to play.
Password hashing. Because you’re not storing clear text passwords, it can be tricky to upgrade later if you’ve chosen something bad like md5. You either have to force your entire user base to reset, or you do an over-time migration when people login, which will always leave some not upgraded.
Two of the Microsoft CVEs (CVE-2017-11882, CVE-2020-0787) on this list are listed as "Exploitation Less Likely" if you view Microsoft's own info for those CVEs. I guess you can't trust the vendor to determine how exploitable a vulnerability is?
The Switch is the next generation for 2 extremely popular consoles — the 3DS and the Wii (let's ignore the WiiU, since the rest of the world largely did) — which has a userbase far greater than all VR systems combined. The 3DS alone sold 76m consoles. By comparison, the PSVR took about 3 years to hit 5 millions sales in 2020.

If you were going to check for this and didn’t immediately reach for location.host rather than location.href then it might be time to read some API docs.
I'm a software developer, not trying to brag because I have serious doubts about my skills but right now I'm in a great job and have a few serious offers with great pay and benefits.

I've done some research and the claims people are making about the bad environment at Blizz are not without merit - can't say they are real because IDK but too strong to just dismiss. I would not even consider a job there without real and verifiable proof that my worries are unfounded. I'm probably not going to consider them over the many other viable offers I have.
It's mildly interesting that you've decided to express your personal opinion about what is or is not fair use within in your license text, but the fact is that if a use of the work is deemed to be fair use under the law then the terms of the license you're offering are completely irrelevant. Your permission is not required to make fair use of the work, so no one needs to agree to your license.
> Therefore, I decided that the best weather was the weather that would most encourage a person to go outdoors and stay outdoors. For that purpose, key weather elements would be sunshine, warmth, and dryness — calling to mind the Dreary Weather Index offered by Brian Brettschneider:

I think this is a bad measure of encouragement to go outdoors, as it gives (e.g.) large swaths of New Mexico and Arizona a good (i.e., low) score: there's no way I'm going outside when it's >40C.

Certainly not all of places in Arizona get so hot that airplanes can't fly of course:

So hopefully the min and max temperature was taken into account in this article's calculations, as it does not seem to be in the "Dreary Weather Index". I am reminded of the episode of the cartoon King of the Hill where they visit Phoenix:

They're not just a carrier, they're created their own version of the Internet which they now have to police.

The Internet was fine without Facebook, it was largely self-governing and people could choose to browse others self-hosted content. Their decision to create the platform and use algorithms to direct peoples attention was totally self made, clearly problematic and now they have to workout how to cope with the fallout.
The problem is FB "recommending" content and groups and prioritizing the feed. They could just not do that and the problem solves itself.

Just show me a time descending list of posts filtered by whatever set of friends I am viewing.

Don't recommend groups or friends or content from people or groups I haven't subscribed to. Let me search for groups or friends instead.
For the split second before I read your comment I thought someone had discovered a vulnerability in `top` and shat a brick
This is a super interesting solution, i'll have to read up on it. thank you!
It depends a lot on the type of game I think. For me and from what I've observed, the motion sickness tends to come from a mismatch between what you're eyes are seeing what what your body is experiencing.

So any game where you're not moving besides when you're actually walking around in meatspace generally doesn't seem to trigger that "oh god you ate the bad mushrooms abort abort" reflex.

The other area this can kind of sneak up on you is if you're trying to use a device/PC that isn't really up to par and the frame rate is dropping. You cross a threshold where it's not quite keeping up with your movements and get the same mismatch between your movement and what your eyes are seeing and it makes you sick.

So to that end, stuff like SUPERHOT VR or Beat Saber you can generally play comfortably for hours. I've thrown my 85 year old grandmother who gets horribly car sick into Job Simulator for an hour without any problems.

It's a pretty short easy leap to any games that provide "blink" movement where you just kinda point at a new spot and suddenly you're there. Literally "blink" and when you open your eyes you're in a different place. A lot of great games support this style of movement and it's usually pretty comfortable--there's no actual motion to the movement. Something like Half Life Alyx has been pretty comfortable and fun (besides being absolutely terrifying waiting for headcrabs or zombies to get me) with this movement method.

Any racing or flight simulators where there's constant motion are generally the stuff that even still get me. I've acclimatized a bit and can actually play them now for an hour or two at a time, but certainly not indefinitely.

EDIT: This is all with an old HTC Vive. I did used to own a Oculus DK2. The extra 15Hz or so refresh rate and a more powerful PC made a _huge_ difference in how sick the simple stuff made me.
You're right, I missed that, thanks.
Sure. Some people with upper incomes got hit hard but from what I know the vast majority are low income.
It’s amazing that he’s doing the same thing for those long. I think that’s the definition of passion, I really want to find some projects/startups that make me fee like that as a SE. That’s the dream, hope he keeps it up!

Large vehicles, especially pickups with high hood heights, are a public health disaster; a deliberate atrocity on the part of those who manufacture and sell them; and a gross dereliction of duty on the part of those who should be regulating their proliferation. In addition to killing pedestrians at high rates, they disproportionately kill occupants of other vehicles too--one study I saw recently found a 2.5x increase in fatality rate in cars colliding with trucks vs. other cars.
Same COL as every year; 0% . Merit raises only , which are down 'because of covid' . Funny how it works to always lower your pay but a good year never actually increase your pay.

I sort of fell into the "nopoo" lifestyle. Things had evolved to the point that I was having constant problems with fungus that the anti-fungus shampoos could not control. Perhaps the fungus evolved. At one point I just said "screw it" and gave up on shampoo all together. Problem entirely solved, along with my dry hair problem. As a result I stopped bothering about body soap which generally made things better as well. Soap/shampoo for when I am actively dirty doesn't seem to break the spell. It is like I just need a break from soap/shampoo all the time.

No complaints so far...

My first employer out of university kept their code in Visual Source Safe, Microsoft's first attempt at a VCS.

It was really, really bad.

My second employer used CVS. Tags were fun back then -- each file was versioned separately so committing multiple files while a tag was in progress might result in only some of your changes making it into the tag. My big innovation there was to add a validation step to our build machine to ensure that the tag matched the state of the branch once the tag had finished, and add the tag to the build version number. Presto: we can actually see which code was built into that day's full build :).
To claim GC of the JVM as an advantage Vs elixir is farcical, the lack of shared state/independent heaps is one of the main advantages of Erlang Vs stop-the-world GC with the JVM.
The discussion about the algorithmic feed seems to be out of context for this thread (i.e., Facebook is now claiming official CDC.gov links are “False Information”)

I don't believe the problem is facebook recommending anything -- the problem is facebook trying to ban certain content entirely (at least in the context of this thread -- algorithmic feeds are a separate problem.)
Collective bargaining is more of a cartel (a labor cartel in this particular instance) than a monopoly. As one of the gp's pointed out, collective bargaining is not per se anti-free market (e.g. health insurance). Neither for that matter are cartels or monopolies so long as government interference remains absent. After all, free association is a right endowed to every market participants and it is a person's right to do as he/she will with it. I think the issue in this case relates more to national labor law creating uneven advantages for labor contra capital.
> FB only works when you and 99% of your social group are on there.

You can choose whatever social group you want on social media. The days of physical presence and limited supply of peers are over.

Your IRL friends don't believe that the government is made up of lizard people? Go find yourself a Facebook, Telegram, Discord, etc. group, you will find plenty of like-minded people and "proof" there. People can and do survive on online contacts alone, so being shunned is not a problem for them. At least not in the medium term.

If by manipulation you mean discourse, then there's a whole history of more knowledgeable people sharing their knowledge to manipulate crowds to great benefit. Thomas Payne. Thomas Jefferson. Martin Luther King Jr.

If you instead mean regulation of what information enters a consensus... That's basically every history book. Every encyclopedia. The curated speaker list at a convention. The moderated comment stream on Hacker News.

And yes, such regulation can be used for ill also. The fascists in World War II used direct control of broadcast media to shape the thinking of the population. Of course, so did Roosevelt with his fireside chats.

I don't know what the future of information exchange in social media looks like. But I'm getting a strong sense that it doesn't look like Facebook and Twitter. I don't think those systems provide the right tools to build consensus.. instead, they seem to build cacophony. They reward enragement (because it drives engagement) and make it difficult for people unfamiliar with the topic to distinguish mainstream opinion from fringe.
Thank you so much for all your work on this! I ran through the first part (interpreter in Java, which I ended up doing in Scala for fun) a few years ago, and so much about this sort of thing was demystified for me. I used to think building parsers, tokenizers, AST builders, and interpreters was some sort of unapproachable black magic, but now I realize it's not actually that difficult.

I started working on the second part (decided I'd do this one in Rust instead of C), but got distracted by other things and never got around to picking it up again. I look forward to getting back to it!

Thanks again, and congratulations on getting to this publishing stage!
How to propose there is a middle ground? What everyone imagines is that if we only censor what is reasonable to censor it will be fine.

The fallacy is that we always view this from our personal perspective, yet we will not be the ones who make those choices. We give up that role to someone else.

Who has this role over society has immense power. Some would argue greater than governments themselves. It is only a matter of time before that vector will be exploited. It is in principle the same idea as regulatory capture, yet the incentives for capturing speech are far greater than a typical regulatory body.
there is a different and more important criticism listed too, githus is nonfree.

But, github could easily establish a non-us entity to host export restricted code. And for savannah, if anyone had any code they were worried about export control for their code, savannah would quickly and easily have an independent person host that repo outside the US.

Verily, the dwarf would pick up a cat to take it to the slaughterhouse, the cat would adopt the nearest dwarf (the one carrying it) and then the dwarf would slaughter the cat.
