A friend once released a fairly popular program into the public domain. He was a radical open sourcerer and so he thought it would be a grand gesture.

He told me he regrets it. Not releasing it for free but putting it into the public domain. He had zero control over it and that would come back to bite him. His biggest problem was that a number of people would produce their own versions. Sometimes they were improving it but sometimes they were just inserting malware. He could do nothing.

To make matters worse, his name was still all over the code. (As it should be.) So he continued to get support requests and he often had trouble answering them because he had no clue about the proliferation of versions. The malware just made things worse.

He came away feeling that maintaining a fully-licensed tree on GitHub (or elsewhere) is kind of the right mix.
Agreed. I think with the pace of change happening more frequently it might require more disciplined focus on training, constraining systems, and number of products.

> The mind has a clever feature in that it surfaces subconscious goal-setting at the right time, and on an as-needed basis.

I've heard of a strategy where you think really hard about a problem, and then you go and do other unrelated things and your mind will come up with a solution. I have found that this does happen in practice. By stepping away from the problem, I'm basically forgetting all the context that made me approach the problem from the original angle and thus my mind tries a different approach. Often this new approach will also not work, but there might be things I discover when trying these approaches that lead to yet another approach.... I guess this process goes on until either a good enough solution is found or I give up.
Yeah, and what's with these mechanised looms, hand-operated is fine.
It's really not that simple.

Fashion is an industry where hundreds of individual designers, some with the backing of megacorps and some without, try to meet popular interest (or to lead it), with production times measured in weeks to months, and with seasonal variation.

There is no "fashion cabal" where designers get together for drinks and to anoint "cerulean blue" as the color of 2023 and then pull their customers by the nose ring into purchasing.

(Yes, there is a media-favorite color survey that gets printed every year, and there are some downstream effects of that).

The music industry works similarly. Bands toil for years (or months), doing their thing, and A&R reps from major labels try to predict what they can promote that will be popular enough this year (based on the choices of other promoters in the industry), or next year, to sell in the near term, and yet differentiated enough to have lasting value.

The snack food industry works similarly.

The software industry works similarly.

The political industry works similarly.

This is just a short review (almost a plug really) of the book “Pastoral Song: A Farmer’s Journey” by James Rebanks, who runs a small farm that rather resembles a petting zoo by modern standards.

It should not be taken as a serious proposal for food production at scale, and the writer comes close to stating that at the end:

> These ideas could use more development, but Rebanks shows clearly that hope hinges on who exactly is willing to pay the real price of food and good farming.
ok, cool, now i want to try, thank you!
Hey deadalus, quick question here: how does all of this compare to Luciferianism and left-hand path kind of stuff? I started reading some of the latter, but I found them to be so ridden with grammar errors that I wish Satan were an English teacher. Perhaps the most decent book I found was Anton LaVey's The Satanic Bible, but so far I am finding it too down-to-earth to quench my thirst for the exotic.

By the way, do you have an English translation for the Liber Azerate? I have the original in Swedish, but I have not learned Swedish yet.

The US government refuses to materially oppose the CCP regime in any way BECAUSE of corporations. Corporations have more influence on daily life and government policy than anything else out there. Part of the "correct move" by corporations is to influence this policy to allow corporations to profit off of China.

Also logistically given globalization if China was actually boycotted it would do a lot of collateral damage in addition to intended damages.

I won't say so. I own two Brother printers; both worked with standard Windows or Linux printing systems (with a simple driver because they talk PostScript), and did not require me to install any special apps. They of course asked to install things like toner monitoring utilities, etc, but I politely declined, and everything just works anyway.

The rights of animals don't necessarily depend on the religious rights or perceptions of them in humans, which might be why this aged so poorly. But if religion is your lens, Christianity is your religion, and the Bible's verses about 'dominion' over animals frame your perceptions on animal rights, any reputable Bible scholar can confirm that 'dominion' is better translated as 'stewardship' (which might be why this article feels so wrong before the 2nd paragraph has even started...)

Some card counters use two counts, to separate odds from strategy. I could never imagine myself memorizing all those cutoff numbers. These two counts aren't independent; once you establish a 2-dimensional parameter space, the regions of interest aren't going to be defined by coordinate cuts. They're going to be blobs. But for some of us visual thinkers, blobs are easier to remember than a table of cutoff numbers.

I never wrote the code to compute this strategy, back in 1990. Today it would be easy. If what I said is obvious to you, have a go at it?

A card counting scheme is essentially a gradient vector, simplified to varying degrees to be memorable and practical. One takes the gradient at a full deck. Should one design the second count based on a gradient taken elsewhere, such as the typical imbalance when the whale comes over to bet?

Better, the 2-dimensional projection should be allowed to evolve in simulation. A pair of gradient vectors is a good initial seed, but only that. And a strategy based on "blob" charts will evolve differently than a strategy based on cutoff numbers, potentially realizing greater gains.
Mostly agree but the release of "Tank Inkjet" printers has radically changed the economics. You ARE an idiot if you still own or buy an ink cartridge-based inkjet printer.

But yes, I go with both B/W and color laser printers mostly.

There are times when inkjet can give improved color rendering but on the right computer, you can get close to gamut even on newer color laser printers.

It seems weird to compare William S. Burroughs to Hunter S. Thompson. Burroughs wrote surreal Science Fiction while Thompson was a journalist.

The author doesn't make the case that one was better than the other in their respective genres. I honestly don't understand the point of this essay.

JQ is often frustrating when you want to do something non-trivial but you can't figure out how and the documentation is of little help.

For me, becoming famous is similar to selling your soul, in the sense that you trade in your privacy in return for being famous and also presumably being rich too. It's like Cypher in the Matrix who wants to be reborn as an important actor in exchange for handing over keys to the Zion mainframe.

Sidenote: The problem with fame is that you can't reverse it. If people know your face, then they know your face. There's no getting away from it.
If you really believe this, then I don't believe that you understand what the job of a powerful revision control system is.

The "cognitive burden" of git comes as much from the tasks that it is occasionally required to make possible than anything else.

If the only git commands you ever use are push, pull, commit and checkout then its a very simple system with very little cognitive burden. But one day, you may need to perform a truly complex task with git that a simpler system with much less cognitive burden would just not allow.

I do not understand how "data interchange formats" are an issue here. What do you want to inter-operate with?

If you don't put a license on it then by default in many countries (such as the US) no one can use it for any purpose whatsoever as they have not been granted a license to do so. It sounds like from your quote this is the case for France also: your proprietary rights would expire based on some legal schedule (and one that the US has likely influenced to be extremely long).

A license isn't how you restrict something that is by default unrestricted: a license is how you selectively unrestrict something that is by default restricted... it is a contract between you and someone else to grant them rights they don't normally have.
I can understand this and I could be at an early stage of it so I am trying my best to continue to do and finish what I start. No matter how small or big a task is or how short or long it takes.
The one thing I hope for when it comes to Python is that PyPy becomes the default runtime everywhere.

CPython is so unbelievably slow when compared to languages like PHP and Javascript.

Dear world - please accelerate the conversion to PyPy!
I find it interesting that the paper does not mention other potential motivations for the changes and seems to take the CCP's statements at face value. Maybe they are simply directly reporting on what has been stated, but it does make sense that the CCP is concerned about the shifting power of control. I think this has little to do with privacy and protections of peoples' rights and everything to do with a tug of war happening above the citizens heads.
I find astonishing that some people want to go back into the cage.
I think the article is describing resistance not just in terms of ‘difficult’ creative processes but any excuse you could make for any action that would likely benefit you.

Hence that line is more for people who resist finding new connections to people because of past problems. Learned fear of action is just that - learned. And it can be unlearned given the time and practice.
No-poach stuff? There are literally millions of companies that allow remote work, are they all part of the no-poach cartel?
> it is important to note that there is a significant percentage of employees that want to go back to the office.

Do you mean the majority? Because that is not true. The percentage of employees that want to go back and that doesn't want to go back are both significant and comparable. The question, as you say, is how to make everyone happy, but the meta-question is, does everyone really need to be happy?

A hybrid solution makes the "officer"s partially happy but non-"officer"s completely unhappy. A flexible solution makes officers happy and at advantage, but non-officers at a career disadvantage for being deprived of, among other good things, also all the schmoozing, self-marketing etc that takes place.

Also the breakdown of the "employees" is important. Not just execs but also mid-managers seem to be particularly unhappy with current setup because having the self-organizing IC to IC interactions reduced, managers' organization and coordination skills have been put under serious test. I am not saying only bad managers want RTO, but their shortcomings do get foregrounded more.

> Finally, there will always be under-performers who are desperately searching for a scape goat when they fail to deliver.

I think this is another problem of the managers' performance. Now it is up to their capabilities to steer up or weed out those chronic scape-goaters.

Also I think it is very important to operationalize the term "under-performer". There is a reason for having performance tiers and their proportionate rewards; anyone who is not operating at full-performance can be considered an under-performer, but that is OK and the employee's choice unless they are in the lowest tier.

That's what most ICs have been wising up to; it is easier to not cave into the peer pressure of an office environment to feel you always have to perform at top. You can totally pick a tier and have a proportionate work performance in comparison to your life performance, i.e. your other life goals. For the first time in a while a great majority of employees got a feel of what is to be not living for work.

I mean, this is not even just tech, eg. restaurant workers have been quitting disproportionately, due to many things, but also for realizing they just don't need to put up with the unnecessary pressure and rude clients.

> The trick is for executives to wrangle all of these new challenges at once... People haven’t been trained how to make this new world work... How do we make our execs feel more comfortable to let those who want to work home do so?

That is literally their job to handle and steer the ship under ambiguous conditions.

I absolutely don't think it is anyone's but their burden to find a working solution. If they find it too stressful, they can quit, or take comfort in their exec salaries.

> TLS 1.2 is the minimum supported protocol, as recommended by RFC 7525, PCI DSS, and others

In addition to offer encrypted connections, each publicly available SMTP server must accept unencrypted connections according to RFC 2487 as well. So while Amazon SES should definitely support common ciphers, its current configuration shouldn't result in delays and delivery failures if there are no common ciphers between Amazon SES and another SMTP server. They also state that in their configuration:

> If Amazon SES can't establish a secure connection, it sends the

> message unencrypted.

So this looks like a misconfiguration of the Postfix installation, intentionally ignoring the disclaimer for smtpd_tls_security_level [1]:

> Mandatory TLS encryption: announce STARTTLS support to remote SMTP

> clients, and require that clients use TLS encryption. According to

> RFC 2487 this MUST NOT be applied in case of a publicly-referenced

> SMTP server. Instead, this option should be used only on dedicated

> servers.

Miners would not be "colluding", they would be given the choice to sell their business to the Fed and walk away with a nice bundle of money printer fiat, or try to keep mining at a loss until the Fed runs out of money. The Fed cannot run out of money because they just print it out of thin air. Any rational miner would sell their hash power to the Fed. Irrational miners will simply run out of capital and go bankrupt, and the Fed would then buy up their assets and have their hash power anyway.
Big difference between ‘someone who cuts corners’ and ‘someone who won’t do the task at all’ when it comes to the phrase ‘lazy person’.

The first person will do the task, they just deemed it not worthy of their focused effort. The second person will find any excuse not to do it at all, which is the ‘resistance’ the article talks about.
A more apt comparison would be to using a saw vs using a saw with gloves on.

With gloves it's safer and more comfortable, but you're not quite as in touch with the wood as you would be without one.

Without gloves you feel badass because you don't care about safety, and you might be able to carve out some slightly more intricate things.

Either way the outcome is roughly the same and it really doesn't matter what your personal preference is.
