It’s tricky (obviously) but the code itself is certainly protected. If they decompiled the code and just cleaned it up it’s very grey. If they simply studied it’s workings and coded it fresh that’s pretty clearly not infringing. But if take-two can point at chunks of code that’s exactly the same they have a bit of a leg. Mainly though they know they won’t fight back so why not just sue? They have nothing to lose.

That's only if your federated protocol supports account migrations (usually with some form of crypto-identity). This was pioneered as part of the Hubzilla ecosystem and ZOT protocol. Nowadays there are efforts to port this approach to ActivityPub/XMPP/Matrix, we'll see where that goes!

Of course it's all easier if everyone owns their domain name and you can migrate "transparently". But the tooling for giving away free, pseudonymous domains is limited so far (afraid.org, netlib.re, eu.org..).

But, Trump voters are not primary poor.

If it is mistrust toward the state, how come it comes from the same groups that treat calls for police accountability as attack on police, support both military and police in pretty much any situation? That pushes for having cops as armed as possible? The same groups that right now managed to make abortion fully impossible in Texas? Whose primary approach to social issues is to make punishments higher?

If it is against corporations, why is it coming from the same party that is actively and systematically working to make corporations stronger?

> People on here laugh at those drinking bleach to "own the libs", oh those stupid conservatives. Have you ever considered how much you have to antagonize and anger people to push them to do this?!

Have you considered that the whole "own the libs" and "trigger the libs" is conscious attempt to make your opponents angry? And that those opponents do react to it too? That is the whole point, antagonize people you are owning or triggering.

And that is somehow fault of people who you go out of way to antagonize?

Besides, what will the camera sign? The produced JPG? The raw file? What about rescaling? Do we want ZKPs that a JPG was achieved by nothing more than re-scaling and tone-mapping another JPG or RAW file? Those ZKPs are going to be massively big and slow to verify.

The problem with boilerplate code is, that it is mostly generated once (by the ide) and then slightly modified. More like a template. In the end you get a lot of meaningless code (the generated code), with some meaningful parts inside. But you can’t see anymore what was generated and what was added manually without deep analysis of the commit log.

It is much better to generate code on the fly during build, so it doesn’t even go to source control and people can’t modify it.

But the system is certainly conducive to "pump and dump" - whatever the NFT equivalent is called. A malicious actor can just artificially inflate the prices (by trading between different accounts, no money switching hands) and sell whenever a moron comes along and places a bid.

You can always find a good-enough substitute, but the original nuance will be lost. The native speaker can choose between "dislike", "would not prefer" or "not my cup of tea". The target language may have an even wider arsenal of phrases suited for different social occasions and across varying levels of politeness. Essentially, mapping the input to the output is a lossy process.
> People who didn't like twitter's policies were smugly told "go start your own twitter".

I really don't see how there could have been any other response. Twitter is a private company holding private assets and letting people use them in exchange for showing those people ads. What kind of free society would tell them that they can't decide what kind of content people get to put on their stuff? Should I be allowed to write KKK speeches on my work computer?

Unless we're going to declare social media a utility[0], what people are asking for is basically to have the government tell you what to put on your website.

If you believe ecraven's benchmarks it's pretty exactly middle of the pack. Chez Scheme, Racket, Gerbil, MIT, Bigloo Guile, Loko, Cyclone, and Bones all are more performant.

No, consistency within a language is good!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_(programming_language)#Des...

>All primitives are defined to have the same precedence, and always associate to the right. Thus, APL is read or best understood from right-to-left.

But consistency across all languages is too much to ask for, except when one language is purposefully imitating another language's syntax but subtly changing it, like PHP did to C. Or the way Perl and PHP imitated C's syntax for references with &, implying that they were somehow alike and could be used in similar ways, even though they're totally different foot guns.

At least APL and FORTH and LISP pick a lane (albeit different sides of the road), and stay in it.

Thank you for this explanation. I am one of those who see the comments first before going to the actual app :)

One thing stood out to me in your explanation — you say “tree structure” is a natural way to organize knowledge.

Why is that the case? I generally use one of the modern “tools of thought” (first Roam and now mem.ai) and in these tools, you just dump notes and add tags and and links among notes, so you have a general graph structure (from the links) overlayed with tags.

For so long our careers have been driven by location, opportunities in our networks, and a sense of obligation which was created generations ago- which created inflexible, unmotivating workplaces with low productivity. Recently this has resulted in record high corporate resignations and Covid further accelerated the shift to highly skilled independent work.
Worksome believes in a future where careers are driven by meaningful work and flexibility, and companies can find highly skilled, passionate talent on-demand to support their business-critical missions. This supply and demand needs to be solved with less friction than ever before.
We created Worksome to be the first enterprise platform to connect companies with top independent talent all over the world, with end-to-end management of large contingent and freelance workforces including skills mapping, hiring, compliance, contracts and payroll.
We’re in a pivotal moment in the future of work, and now is the time to harness the power of the flexible workforce

We use things like Laravel, Vue.js, GraphQL in a setup with Github and Forge/Envoyer. The dev team has previously attended Laracon EU and similar conferences or trips will be an ongoing offer for the team members. Worksome is a platform for highly skilled freelance talents. We’re the new digital hub for professional freelancers and consultants.

>With that disclaimer out of the way, I would have serious concerns about a male employee with 'valley girl' rising terminals in meetings. According to Wikipedia [1] while there are differences between the way men and women 'valleyspeak' it does in fact apply to both. I would address both the same way, seeking to understand - in open dialogue - whether there was a basis in (lack of) confidence and trying to find ways to support them further in their career development. Maybe suggest public speaking classes, especially if available through work.

I don't particularly think that the original complaint has much merit, (ie, being coached is not sexist) but that said I also find this sort of attitude wholly unhealthy. Is room full of paid professionals unable to distinguish the content of someone's speech from the quality of their delivery? Particularly in a case where we're just talking about tone of voice, and not difficulty with word choice or articulation? I believe it says more about the audience if they are unable to analyze an idea on its merits rather than using body language to evaluate the value of an idea.
I share this pain, but believe it or not, it’s actually much better than everyone doing their own thing all willy nilly.

Probably someone in the upper management of take-two had the idea of downsizing their legal department. That department have decided to demonstrate how incredibly useful they are, by suing a few people from Germany, New Zealand, Turkey, and United Kingdom.

> Defendants are well aware that they do not possess the right to copy, adapt, or distribute derivative GTA source code, or the audiovisual elements of the Games, and that doing so constitutes copyright infringement.

I think the opposite is true, what they did was fair use. The defendants are outside US, pretty sure everything they did was 100% legal in their jurisdictions.

> Defendants have made the Games fully and freely available to the public

They have made the game engine (the .exe) freely available to the public. To run the game, one also needs assets of the game.

Assets require overwhelming majority of disk space, take overwhelming majority of development budget to produce, and can be obtained legally by buying the original game.
Meh, the replacement rate issue is a temporary problem. We can't just make more and more kids to sustain the unsustainable... better hit the wall early on and rebuild something smarter than continue in the direction we're heading
I think usually ends up with convenience of the backup process.

Keeping offline disk backup in sync is inconvenient, neither is more durable or secure than cloud (assuming encryption and distant off-site copies).

If Tahoe-LAFS or SiaCoin was much easier to use, e.g. with phone backup setup in a few clicks, then simple family/community distributed "clouds" would be no-brainer.

Do you really need unbounded computation for your boring web app?

Because everyone using python is working on web application. Also because all web applications have the same type of business logic.

Years before everyone was apparently a generalist, you would have a separate DBA, a separate architect, sometimes even separate teams for implementing algorithms, etc. The mythical man month has a very nice section on splitting up the work over the various teams and that's a book written in the early 70s.

I think the actual boundary lies more in big vs small companies: small companies do not have the resources to hire specialists for every little subproblem, while big companies typically have enough employees that specialisation becomes a possibility.
> The unfortunate bit is that there is no formatter in existence (yet) that can handle this for C, or really any other language with similar syntax.

Prettier does it fine for JS, which uses C-style ternary syntax.

> Python's "Black" formatter actually does the best job here, yet the python ternary syntax is still very verbose and strange IMO.

To me, its quite natural when used sensibly, since if you drop everything after the if it is the normal-case value. Though I would slightly prefer if the ternary form was:

<default-valur> unless <alternative-condition> then <alternative-value>

instead of:

<default-value> if <default-condition> else <alternative-value>
People forget (or never noticed) all the credible tech press running articles questioning the future of the internet as recently as the early 2000s. Then the 2008 election happened and a lot of tech-hesitant people got online to tweet and blog about it until 2012 when Obama's victory tweet set record numbers that are now routine. Nobody seems to question it anymore, but the internet's future is no more certain. At least the open internet's future.

Digg was a big fish in a tiny pond even as late as 2010 when it launched v4. Most people in the English-speaking world Digg targeted were some kind of online, but usage jumped as smartphones became normal. Twitter took most of that growth in use.
As PHP’s RFC says, right-associative ternary is useful and intuitive. I don’t need no parentheses, the meaning is clear and obvious and doesn’t go wrong in any environment that I or those I work with use, and doesn’t even go wrong in PHP any more (warning in 7.4, syntax error in 8). I’m not going to compromise the beauty and editability of my code by inserting superfluous parentheses—they’d make me have to think more about the meaning of the ternary chain, not less.
My thoughts on this issue are well summarized in https://www.bookdepository.com/Just-Get-Out-Way-Robert-E-And... (ignore the simplifying title).

> In this book, Robert Anderson, a development consultant and former World Bank economist, recommends a different approach. Instead of adopting policies that are common in rich countries, Anderson suggests that policymakers take into account the institutional weaknesses typical of developing countries - corruption, deficient rule of law, cronyism, and so on. Simpler, market-oriented policies are more suitable to poor countries institutional environments and more likely to produce growth and keep the private and public sectors honest.Anderson recommends sometimes counterintuitive policy solutions for a number of areas - banking, privatization, corporate governance, bankruptcy, and competition. For instance, he argues that "rich countries were once poor countries" and that "examples from the past in rich countries may be more appropriate for poor countries today."

I chatted with the author a bit. Many of his suggestions are useful for rich countries as well.

The argument starts from the observation that honest and competent civil servants are one of the most precious commodities a country can posses. They are in limited supply, and should be used wisely and sparingly.

To give an example from child rearing: instead of the parents always intervening for how to share, teach your kids the divide-and-choose rule. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide_and_choose

Similarly, in the US there are essentially two kinds of bankruptcies: chapter 7 and chapter 11.

Simplified, in chapter 7 the business just gets auctioned off, and proceeds go to the creditors.

In chapter 11, the business keeps running mostly under old management, but with lots of micromanaging from a court.

The former is rather simple. The latter has lots of opportunities for incompetence and corruption.

The author suggests not implementing something like chapter 11.

> Do you not agree that the average individual is not an expert in what makes for a successful banking system? If that's the case why would you leave it up to them?

The average individual is not an expert in making shoes. But we allow everyone to manufacture shoes.

Customers are by and large wise enough to buy shoes from competent producers.

Historically, for banking it turns out that regulating them like shoe factories works really well. Adding special regulations just leads to lots of gaming of the system, and to regulatory capture and suppression of competition etc.

From a game theoretic point of view, governments also have a hard time committing themselves. Eg committing themselves to paying back their debts or not issuing too much of a currency even in emergencies.

That's because governments are, in a sense, too powerful.

A normal company can bind itself with contracts, and they will be enforced in court.

A government can try to do the same, but they can always pass a law that makes the old contracts void.

(Rant over for now. It's becoming a bit rambly.)
