The richest boss, the poorest bum, all die the same. I would rather focus on something important, not dying, as in curing liver cirrhosis or blocked arteries or matted down nerve hairs in the brain than try to tell a billion and a half of people what to do all the time from far far away. What a wonderful weapon that is. Cure disease, and don't give you the cure. How can your people excel if they really do not want to do it? If they don't like you and want you gone? It will just be contorting yourself to the test, a facade without any true knowledge.

People in, and what comes out? Another day away from the gallows? Leave other people alone. They're probably going through stuff and know what's best for them. You took away their humanity and turned them into industrial stock, something to be harvested and consumed. No wonder they run and hide from you.
I recently made a video on the zeroth dimension (what you call a point) and how it relates to higher dimensions. https://youtu.be/u1MUrVBQTyE

I'll be using spatial dimensions as a conceptual framework to tackle this exact issue in future videos.

Synchronizing events beetween calendar systems is hard. iCal may be a serialization format, but it doesn't handle things like: sync event from system A to system B, update in System B, how do we tell System A? For simple events with no attendees that is easy. But once you deal with recurring events, and everyone's varying implementations, it quickly falls apart.

Internally all the major Calendar services (GCal and Outlook), store events differently when it comes to events with multiple attendees and recurring events, and it takes understanding the varying nuances to perform good synchronization. Even the difference between a timed event and an all day event will vary from system to system. And that barely touches the timezone issues that arise when scheduling.
Sure but there wasn't a monetary incentive path like we have today with the Internet and livestreaming. I still remember picking up my first copy of DOOM and playing with friends on a 28.8Kbps dialup modem.

Does "bodily autonomy" also include the right not to wear pants and underwear in public? If not, please explain the difference.

Separately, society made a decision a very long time ago that protecting the public health and welfare prevails over any individual's absolute sense of "bodily autonomy." It's fine to disagree with that choice, but that disagreement ought to be grounded in firm reasoning.
I'd be mildly ticked-off, too. The senior guy was being an ass.
What if we invented some kind of protocol for sharing media?
Yes. Ars the publication is great, consistently producing excellent content. But somehow its community has become disturbing.

(Not just for this article or topic; pick any not-purely-technical Ars article, and you'll find upvoted comments like on this one.)
This is fascinating that they are already announcing that they will release an app specifically for classical music. It is rare for Apple to pre-announce software. What would be other examples?
That's what I'm saying. We could train a base of knowledge so that skills transfer and we don't have to find super specialized operators for every role. When you get a union plumber to the shop, you know that they passed their certification. You may not like working with them or they may do sloppy work or something but as a whole, you're going to get a competent operator once the apprenticeship is finished.
It has little to do with monopolies and oligopolies.

Suppose AWS, Azure, GCP, and all the other large cloud providers were split up into 10 providers each. So now we have several dozen cloud providers, all much smaller than when it has only a handful.

They would still almost all be much bigger and offering a much wider range of products than a small company that has on product--a DB, a messaging service, a cache, etc--that is useful to cloud providers and cloud provider customers.

Those dozens of providers will still find that the small companies product is a compliment to the cloud provider's products and services, and it will still make sense for the cloud providers to offer that service themselves to make it so they are a one stop source for as many of their customers cloud needs as possible.

So the whole country of 1.3-1.4B people has the same value system?

Everyone on the flight to a country that requires testing and vaccination will have to show tests and vaccine records to even board the plane. Some countries even require a second test on arrival, with such measures in place it shouldnt matter what percentage of the population is vaxxed. Full country bans are nothing but politicking and tit for tat pettiness between countries. We shouldve lifted restrictions on Europeans long ago, our list of restricted and allowed countries has no correlation to the actual safety of the countries. We allow fully unrestricted travel with tests from other countries that went through waves when Europe was low, like Mexico and Colombia. I've viewed countrywide bands as stupid since the beginning, the majority of Americans do not have passports, those who travel abroad are middle class and up or those with family origins abroad and are law-abiding people used to complying with travel requirements.

Reminds me of the term "cosy catastrophe" (coined by British SF author Brian Aldiss):

100% agree.

Actually I go further, I think those into art should always express that through ownership.

Books go out of print or the translation varies. Films are unavailable if they're not one of the top grossing films, and even if they are then they can be unavailable (i.e. Disney exercising artificial scarcity over historical titles).

I own and ripped over 6k CDs into FLAC a long time ago, and still a good number of these are not available on streaming services even though they were major releases in the UK in the 1990s and 2000s. Why? Because the coverage of EPs, Singles, B-sides, and some variations of albums (Japanese imports with extra tracks) isn't represented by Spotify, Google Music, Tidal, Apple, etc.

The only way to ensure you can enjoy something in the future is to own it today.

For me, music, video and book streaming / digital rental fills a different problem space - discovery before ownership.
As someone who does not know anything about herding farm animals... are goats easier to shepherd than cows? My first thought is "yea, they are smaller!", but is that true?

Better question...given the nutritional information on goat's milk painting it as more nutrient rich - why aren't we all drinking it?
> Haskell, in many of its uses, cleans up the tediousness so thoroughly that the code written using errors as values can be almost indistinguishable from code written using exceptions, and yet, nevertheless, the errors are values and no exception machinery is being deployed.

I don't have experience with Haskell, but I have mixed feelings about monadic error handling in Scala for precisely this reason. It goes to great lengths to recreate the programming ergonomics of exceptions, with exactly the same drawbacks. Monadic error handling, aka "railway-oriented programming,"[0] splits your logic into two tracks: a "good" track, where all your happy path logic lives, and a "bad" track, which is automatically propagated alongside your happy path logic. In my experience, it induces the same programmer mistakes as exceptions do: errors get accidentally swallowed (especially where effects are constructed and transformed,) different errors that require different handling are accidentally treated the same, and programmers fall into the habit of seeing the error track as an inferior, second-class branch compared to the happy path.

It confuses me when programmers (not talking about you, because I don't know how you write code, but people I've worked with personally) bash exceptions and then use monadic error handling to achieve exactly the same trade-offs.

This hasn't turned me off of monadic error handling, but it has made me think of it as FP's version of exceptions, rather than an upgrade. Personally, I think exceptions are a good enough trade-off in most cases, but when you need to be more careful, it is better practice to give all paths the same prominence in code. FP provides a better way to do this: pattern matching. More verbose, yes; harder to spot the happy path when reading code, yes; encourages more careful and thorough thinking about errors, for me absolutely yes. YMMV.

Are they? The vaccine doesn't even stop transmission of covid, and the effectiveness of non-N95 masks is dubious at best.

So really the only variable is whether you yourself are vaccinated or not.

> It’s amazing to see someone in full sun using a phone, face not pointing at the phone.

Hello 2006! It was super convenient back when that was normal.

Me on a Nokia with barely a color screen and unlimited GPRS data: playing music/podcasts, reading news, chatting, taking pictures, listening to radio, watching short video clips after minutes of downloading.

Me today with more than a decade of innovation: playing music/podcasts/audiobooks, reading news, chatting, taking pictures, listening to streaming radio, using satellite navigation.

The difference is that in 2006, you didn't have to constantly look at a screen. You can be walking outside and watch where you're going, not even taking the phone out of your pocket for some things like switching songs or turning on a recording when the teacher was throwing a tantrum again (I was not the nicest teenager; I hope I do better now). We're trying to find workarounds for this using bluetooth headphones' buttons that don't work half the time or get passed to the wrong app (Newpipe, Antennapod, VLC, all can take audio focus) or by using long presses or double presses on buttons like power to quick start the camera, but it's very limited what one can do with those.
A very clean approach to NFS authentication is using it in combination with wireguard.
With NFS you can limit access to certain IPs or IP ranges.
With wireguard you add authentication that these IPs are really the users/group of users.
Also it adds encryption to the actual file transfer.
Can bicycle riders not get speeding tickets in Paris? Around me in the states, the cops can, and do occasionally, ticket bicycle riders going over the speed limit in school zones (20 mph at certain times of the day).

> Go tells you very explicitly how it resizes slices by forcing you to write this:

No, what most readers intuit from that is that `append` performs no mutation and that this is fine:

s2 := append(s1, item)

because it looks very much like, say,

(def s2 (conj s1 item))

and often it will look like it works, especially at the smaller sizes, or if you never modify (or even use) s1.

Except it's absolutely not fine.

That's why other language separate slices and vectors and avoid confusing two objects which have different behaviours and uses even if their representation is very similar.

When kids game excessively, I'd wager it's an escape for them. It's an escape just as much as it was for the geeky / nerdy kids of America, as it is for the kids in China who have goukou.

You can try to enforce whatever culture you're gonna enforce, but I think we've seen from the war on drugs that these kinds of things don't really work. There's always some deep psychological and/or physiological deficit whenever there is an "addiction" at play. And you're trying to treat the disease by treating the symptoms. You can try to tighten control so that you can try to force that "ideal" society, but when you do that, things have a way of becoming authoritarian in a handbasket. Everything messed up about China is about socialist idealism turning authoritarian, and you can say that about other countries too.

People should have figured that out when they did that study on rats, where the rats that lived in some enriched environment, with plenty of playtime, did not get addicted to sugar water the way that the rats trapped in cages did.
Read between the lines.

If they were breaking out the heavy equipment and actually changing the infrastructure they would be trumpeting it as an infrastructure initiative, urban makeover/revitalization or something like that.

To assume that this is more than a simple regulatory change is to assume that the Paris government is wholly staffed with people too stupid to capitalize politically on a major infrastructure change.

They are messaging this as a regulatory change and talking about how they're adding bike lanes (already rolling out steadily for a long time as roads get repainted and resurfaced) and continued phase out of cars from the city center.

Nothing will change, because nothing is changing. All the stuff they're talking about is stuff they're already doing. They're just changing some signs in other parts of the city as well as though that's expected to change anything (which it's not).
By that same argument, it would be better not to have all of China forced to follow the same "value system", yet that is exactly what authoritarian policy like this intends.
That is one city with its own very specific problems in a large country. Are we picking only the data that fit our narrative now? What about all the other big cities?

No. I don't know if the winky face is to denote sarcasm, but it seems like it should still be noted that because so many people who could be vaccinated are refusing to get vaccinated, vaccinated people and people who can't get the vaccine still have to worry about a greater chance of catching a variant strain and also hospitals not being able to care for them (for any reason) because they're being bogged down treating preventable disease.
For clarity, is the "like this" in your comment referring to brain teaser technical one-upmanship interviews, or the less structured style that is focused on getting to know the person and having them describe in their own words the projects in their past?

I've been giving Qobuz a whirl for technical listening, and they have a very intentional approach to classical music. I'm a bit of a newbie, but I did receive the recommendation from other listeners.

Not sure if ‘discover weekly’ does more, and there are still huge unexplored areas of music recommendation, but the weekly recommended playlists on Apple Music have been wonderful for me. I add music to my library faster than I can listen to it at this point, and I’ve discovered bands in my 40s that I hold as close to my heart as those I discovered as a teenager.
I never once considered the amount of engineering it goes into painting the lines on the street. I feel it for them, good (perfect) work goes un-noticed while bad work is obvious and criticized. Also seems like the work requires a lot of focus and constant attention. That in combination with physical labor sounds really exhaustive.

I've done these sorts of questions before and the point (more me at least) was two-fold:

1. Do they understand the basic machinery of a web application (assuming the job is about building web applications)?

2. Can they take a vague problem ("the page is loading slow") they might get from an actual non-technical user and drill down to identify what precisely the issue is? Is it DNS? Is it a proxy server/load balancer? Is their latency at the DB layer? How would you tell the difference between all of these?

> Most folks outside of engineering think our interview processes are crazy.

They do, but not for the reason you think.

A hospital administrator would be mad to hire some rando from the street who calls himself a doctor, who has no formal schooling in medicine, a dropped two-year degree in chemistry, but who reads a few medical blogs, on nothing more than 'They have four years experience working at a startup and a good reference and they can answer some second-year whiteboard questions about the lymphatic system.' [1]

Other professionals front-load the interviewing effort into a rigorous schooling, testing, and accreditation process, that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of your life. Meanwhile, software engineers grouse about whiteboard interviews.

[1] Despite the highly dramatized performance by Leonardo DiCaprio as Frank Abagnale, that's not generally how doctors get hired.

As a recent submission[1] points out:

> Let’s stop pretending that the vaccines are a no-brainer for adolescents and children.

> A rational parent — especially the parent of a healthy boy, given the far higher rates of myocarditis in boys with the mRNA vaccines — could decide against giving their child the Pfizer vaccine, especially given the utter lack of certainty as to how soon and how often boosters will be required. Sensibly, I think, the UK took this approach: optional for those over 15, recommended for those 12-15 only with immunocompromised health status or high-risk family members, and gathering evidence for future decisions. My home state of Hawaii is taking rather the opposite approach, in mandating vaccination for all student-athletes. This is the unfortunate playbook for how to maximize vaccination in the lowest risk population group (athletes) half of whom are at the highest risk for requiring hospitalization for vaccine-mediated myocarditis (high school boys).

As I have mentioned before to great flagging fests, there is no profit, bonus, lucrative post-civil "service" career etc to ignoring risks for which one has absolutely no liability. No matter what happens to those on the receiving end, a whole group of people will greatly benefit from mandating things.

I know it's not the same thing, but I like to stream classical radio some times. Obviously, it's curated instead of user-selected, but as a casual listener I'm more inclined to trust someone else's taste. WQXR has a few different streams. I'm partial to New Sounds.

You say it's irresponsible to compare the two, then immediately proceed to do it!

Perhaps you meant to say that it was irresponsible to imply they were similar? In any case, rational decision-making requires comparing options, and reactions of disgust are generally unproductive, both for thinking and for debating.

So if you're aware of the specifics here, help me out with the question I asked.

How can you possibly have a valid copyright for software in French law if all license terms are considered contract breaches?

From your own link...
-
>>The legal position was resolved by the transposition of May 14, 1991 EU Directive into French law: computer programs and any associated preparatory works qualify for copyright protection in France as in other European Union jurisdictions.

Once a work has been published, the author cannot prevent:

1. Private family performances.

2. Copies for the private and personal use of the copier. This provision does not apply to works of art, computer programs (where a single safeguard copy is allowed, Art. L122-6-1-II) and databases.

3. In cases where the name of the author and the source are clearly indicated,

a) Analyses and short citations justified by the critical, polemical, scientific or pedagogical nature of the work.

b) Press reviews.

c) Diffusion of public speeches as current news.

d) Reproductions of works of art in catalogues for auctions in France (subject to regulatory restrictions).

4. Parody, pastiche and caricature, "taking into account the usage of the genre".

5. Acts necessary to access a database within the limits of the agreed use.

-

But how can this be true? Orange clearly does not fall into any of the excluded uses, and I must release my software with some sort of licensing statement (even the lack of a statement is a statement in my jurisdiction). But it appears this ruling would mean all breaches could only ever be contract breaches.

So again, how do I have copyright for software in France? I'm genuinely trying to understand if there's some nuance here that I'm missing.
(Not a ham - but thinking of becoming one): Are you referring to the exam, or something else?

I find entrance exams are almost always orthogonal to actual performance (like tech interviews). I think it should be limited to verifying an understanding of safety and the law only. Everything else can be quickly and easily looked up if needed. If I make a fool of myself on the air that's on me.

Take a look at the question pool: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/VEs/2019-2023%20General%20Cla...

Say we limit the exam to subelements G0 (Safety), G1 (Commission's Rules), G2 (Operating Procedures), and G4 (Amateur Radio Practices). What's the downside? Why are we asking people about Digital circuits; amplifiers and oscillators (G7B), Analog and digital integrated circuits (ICs); memory; I/O devices; microwave ICs (MMICs); display devices; connectors; ferrite cores (G6B), etc? I agree it's useful information, but if all I want to do is operate my radio, why gatekeep on this other knowledge? Is my incomplete understanding blinding me?
FWIW, copyright applies to recordings of classical music just as much as to recordings of contemporary music.
