No, the fate of bittorrent software is set in stone with that reasoning. “It generates how many terabits of piracy transfers per second globally? Across how many pirated works?” BAM! “Authors of torrent clients provide tools almost exclusively used by pirates. Stop or go to jail!” And if you really want that Ubuntu image, wait until your local Linux user group gets the package by international mail. Because your convenience is nothing compared to all that piracy, right?

Maybe you just want to say that all Freenet users are pedophiles. Maybe you want to think that all Freenet users are pedophiles to not think about other things. Maybe you want to state that “normal person” has no reason to use (and won't ever have to consider using) anything like it. It's your choice, thank you very much.
I think you'll find the rising homeless problem in every major city in america proves this wrong.

How many millions of subsidies are being payed to handle these homeless people?

LA alone dedicated a BILLION dollars to help fix this. Yet here we are.
> You can include a native binary in the gem which does the hard computations. Will that work on random new architectures like M1? No? But you can fall back to a Ruby implementation and show a warning message.

Promptly ignored by most people, all while doubling maintenance efforts.

It's a trade-off without an easy answer.
Though it's advocating for a system level version manager, not a language level manager.
This just adds burden to programming language and library authors. Sure I could almost certainly support Python 2.7 and Python < 3.6 in all my libraries, but it introduces more code and shims I've got to maintain. Given I'm not being paid for this work and do it for fun, there's no compelling reason to support the small subset of users that cannot or will not update.

I imagine variations of the above apply to nokogiri and some amount of Ruby core developers.
I assume they were responding to:

And if you have fighter jets buzzing by, the least of your problems is noise.

I.e., they meant their primary concern with pilots familiarizing themselves with the terrain is the noise, rather than any risk of imminent danger.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's just lack of familiarity. Sports games come across as actively hostile to people who don't already know how to play sports games.

I've tried over the years to get into the various big franchises when I see something very cheap, but there's never a high-level tutorial for "I don't understand the gameplay and I barely understand the sport."
I see marketing as a giant black hole of ingenuity and talent (that pays well). That being said, it's difficult to see the difference here from ingenuity in say SEO.
Thanks for the numbers. Perhaps hype is not the right word. It is just interesting to see that some older hardware can still be used to achieve the state of the art performance, as the bottleneck may lie elsewhere.
That is patently absurd… you literally just said it’s as easy to clean a toilet as write software. Is it as easy as doing particle physics? How about brain surgery? Is there a line? If they’re all so easy, what is keeping all these would be software engineers and brain surgeons from getting better jobs? Some sort of conspiracy??

This is the distorted reality I’m talking about.
Oh, so you mean to say that life is hard?
I suppose that if you’re willing to only negotiate for cash then your second point makes sense. However, oftentimes, people negotiate along more dimensions than raw day pay —- health benefits, vacation, work environment, title, etc.
And ironically enough the economics world has known that this naive perspective of microeconomic market rationality trumps all human behavior hasn't been true for quite some time. It's not like Kahneman and Tversky won the Nobel as some sort of fluke. It's a deflection by people who don't want to look at and address the problems of what's actually going on. And if you look at who makes these arguments, it's overwhelmingly one demographic category. Conclude what you want from that imo.
If somebody wants to make his project in own way, why should it be decentralized? How to control ways and quality?

Everything has its limits. Perfect decentralization of development lead to a libgen collapse which not many know about thinking that it's bigger servers are still a real libgen. They are not and are mimicking libgen after capturing its vital parts. This happened exactly due to idealistic views that development can be entrusted to different anonymous individuals without regard to centralized management.

Decentralization implies loss of control. While it's good for results, it's very destructive for development and team building.
Your watch history includes these videos. Your spam reports are not part of the algo. Because you clicked on them and watch them long enough they become part of what you engage with.

Uh, no.

I just think it sometimes matters what the percent is. And I'm curious what the percent is.

I even ran a pretty stable freenet node at one point, thank you very much.

And you didn't really explain where your moral reasoning differs from mine. I'm not discussing what should be legal...
That's pretty loose. It's akin to saying that headers are a part of car engine design. Technically, literally, perhaps correct, but not what is thought of when hearing the words.

I think this applies _to an extent._ Especially with how Google's been blurring the lines between a Google account being signed in and being signed in to Chrome, I think that's a somewhat unfair proposition. I signed into my work GSuite account on my personal laptop to do a quick P0 fix and Chrome decided to sign itself into my work account without asking- how helpful!

If I were a student, this means Chrome would slurp my entire (PERSONAL!) browsing history into Google, and by extent- Gaggle.

In fact, my former school district actually used Gaggle. I know this for two reasons- first, the IT manager said "oh and we get Gaggle alerts for things you do on your Google account" as a sidenote when giving the onboarding speech that no one listens to. Also, I got a warning a few times in my email for people saying dumb shit in large shared documents (yes, it flags _your_ account just for being in a docshare with people who write things that trigger the system).

If there was a little notice on documents, emails, and chats that said "${service} monitors your usage on behalf of ${schoolDistrict}" or even just required you to agree to Gaggle's TOS I might have a different opinion, but it seems as though it was perhaps intentionally obscured.

I know I said things like "ugh I have so much homework this weekend, kill me" to my friends in the hallways and in class, with the lockdown killing all those conversations and moving them online I can't imagine my parents getting an email every time I said something like that.

tl;dr these are kids- don't normalize this, please.

I would feel deeply uncomfortable if my employer used something like this to detect "security policy violations," etc. even though I keep my personal life off of my work laptop.

I don't think people care about property values. Otherwise they'd petition to have their house rezoned as high-density commercial/industrial, since properties with good zoning sell for a lot more.
Arch. It's possible to update to a new kernel on Ubuntu that has the new drivers required, but I couldn't get the installation to succeed, and the Arch repos being so up-to-date helps a lot with those compatibility issues. Overall the switch was quite painless and my setup now is way less buggy than on Ubuntu. It can't be recommended to begineers though, as you do have to use the terminal a lot and the defaults are too bare.
Do you disagree with that view or are you supporting it?
Mint. But I installed Manjaro in another partition and Steam runs fine in that. So go figure. I may just migrate to that.

So it's deceptive marketing for a product that seeks to coax revenue away from local governments and keep it in the hands of property owners, instead of funding schools, infrastructure, fire departments, etc..
Yes! Sortition! It was good enough for ancient Athens, it's good enough for us. (For years, one of my own personal causes I'll advocate to anyone who will listen)

Ranked choice voting would be nice too, but the beauty of sortition is that we could completely eliminate not only political parties, but the entire profession of being a politician!

I'm not the OP, mine was an interpretation. My take is that being against violence is a good thing unless it leads to the point of self destruction.
> Some people

Ya know, I keep hearing this, but no one ever seems to quote any actual statistics of the practice happening. Even the big Rolling Stone article that half the media quoted and went viral regarding the Oklahoma ERs having a rash of veterinary ivermectin ODs was complete BS. Some other article I read quoted about a “rash” of calls about horse ivermectin to poison control, which buried a few paragraphs in the article turned out to be like 4-5 calls total and pretty much all were just general calls inquiring if it was dangerous.

So while I am sure there are some people taking it, I imagine it’s about as prevalent a practice as the “some people took fish tank cleaner” last year…which turns out apparently the only actual case was just some crazy lady trying to kill her husband.

But hey I’m open to real evidence of the practice if someone can find some actual data and post it. Until then I chalk this up as rumor and assumption.
The principle remains, which makes it possible for anyone to do on any blockchain really. Encoding an image into the message of a transaction (or spanned over multiple transactions) should be fairly straightforward even with a simple bitcoin wallet. You should be able to make a CSAM NFT on Ethereum that nobody can expunge, as well.

The rule of 7 indicates that you probably should have 1 manager for every 7 people or so (14%), which is not wildly out of line with 17%.

That said, what I'm seeing in Silicon Valley runs counter to both the article and what you're saying: most bigger companies do have a well-established senior IC ladder, although it's often harder to climb than the manager one. And instead of the traditional 7 +/- 2, line managers are being expected to manage 10, 15, 20 people, which rarely works well.
Sort of. Most relationships have dependencies of some sort, but Tony Hsieh's money allowed him to take it to the next level, and not in a good/healthy way. But there's money and then there's money. Or rather, there's being poor and there's poverty, and money fixes that. If someone is struggling and living paycheck to paycheck because they don't make enough money to live on (minimum wage hasn't been enough to live on for decades), enough money to dig them out of the hole can be literally lifesaving.

You can't teach a man to fish if he's dead from starvation.

Offering only a Java installer, of all things from the increasingly distant past, wholly divorced from any semblance on how most anyone wants to install or use software these days, is 100% a choice the freenet project made and entirely that project’s fault.

This type of uncaring about the user experience nonsense is exactly the type of issue that the person you’re replying to is sharing about their experience.
This is the point it’s coming to. When “the other side” says “one death is too many”, I’m almost tempted to scream “one death is not enough.”

If we’ve literally made tragedy impossible, there’s no way we haven’t traded away a disproportionate amount of freedom to get there.

This is really going to sound dumb, but this kind of creeping surveillance is the biggest reason I hope we can make self-sufficient off-planet colonies. I honestly believe that the trend toward complete surveillance and control in the name of complete safety is irreversible, and the only way to escape it is to literally move to where they cannot physically reach you.
"Privacy-conscious" and using Discord, quite a bit of cognitive dissonance. We need better messengers, not browsers imho.

The use of "wokeism" in this context is cringe-inducing. He could describe it as "concern for the welfare of the marginalized" but that would expose his own stated opposition as morally bankrupt.

"Woke" is now used primarily by opponents of the ideas it symbolizes. This is an excellent summary: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-attacking-cancel-cu...
I agree with this characterization. I understand the allure and the intent was perhaps use NASA branding as a tool to inspire kids in the classroom. I was certainly inspired at the time. However, I do think there are better ways to do this than make up stories and statistics.
My kids---5 and 3--are normally very well behaved. If I let them watch TV for an hour and then I say "ok, it's time to turn it off", they occasionally grumble a little bit, but they do it and then happily trot off to do something else. When they were playing games on an iPad, even silly little "bubble popping" sort of apps, announcing the end time would immediately launch into screaming, crying, etc.

Cartoons and games like Super Mario are episodic. There is finality to completing the episode/level. Most modern games are explicitly designed to be addictive, so they eschew levels and opt for open-world or continuous play formats.

For passive content, they have a similar response (though not quite as pronounced) to turning off the TV in the middle of a movie. I don't blame them, though. It's really shitty to have to stop a movie in the middle. But continuous-play games have no middle or end, so there is no chance for a graceful exit.

So the Nintendo 2DS was an experiment to test the aformentioned theory of episodic content. It worked. I can let the kids play the games for an hour and at the end of the hour there isn't any wailing or gnashing of teeth.

We're not super-strict about screen time, but we're also not lassaiz-faire about it. We try to model appropriate consumption habits: 1-hour max on a "school night" (and almost never on consequitive nights), frequently a movie on Friday nights, sometimes Saturday morning cartoon binge if we don't already have plans for the day.

We let our kids watch TV to let them enjoy the programs they are watching. I'm not going to deny them a pleasure that I also enjoy. I'm also relatively strict on myself concerning media consumption. We're are just not using TV to park them so we can work.
Exhaust is a VERY important part of engine design.

Except that in the case of a jet engine, this is more like the exhaust, transmission, and differential.

Even if you can somehow convince the major tooling to take that route, you're never going to convince every piece of software to follow suite. It's a problem that must be tackled, there's no side stepping it.
4) Returning illegal immigrants has hurt the number of people available to work 5) People who used to be able to work multiple jobs work fewer jobs maybe due to higher pay or unavailability of the other jobs they had before, 6) a lot of people died who also worked.
The problem with the 1st Amendment is that it protects all speech (in general, and if you quote yelling "fire" in a crowded theater you have not read the case law) no matter how stupid that speech is. The issue is that anything else could be a slippery slope to authoritarianism. Drawing that line is hard. Education is the key here however some people seems to be to stupid to be educated.
Interesting. Which saint is that?
In 1904, G.K. Chesterton wrote a fun novel about 1984 London where the king was chosen by lottery called The Napoleon of Notting Hill. I picked it up after the 2016 election since that seemed like such an anomaly. There are some interesting explorations of human nature, and of course you can draw parallels to modern times without too much stretching. However, I don’t think a lottery is a serious answer.
Pen: A programming language for scalable development
It's always balancing bottlenecks. Here, the bottleneck is memory bandwidth, limiting to (more or less) 32 lanes of network; the platform has 128 lanes, so using more lanes than needed at a slower rate works and saves a bit of cost (probably). On their Intel Ice Lake test machine, that only had 64 lanes which is also a bottleneck, so they used Gen4 NVMe to get the needed storage bandwidth into the lanes available.

Who is upvoting this? I love category theory and use it to reason about types and programs, but what even is this article. OP's glossary entry on "Kernel Category" makes me feel that they are just making up nonsense.

Mike has worked hard over the years to have Nokogiri come with its dependencies. It does come with libxml and all that is required.

> These dependencies are met by default by Nokogiri's packaged versions of the libxml2 and libxslt source code, but a configuration option --use-system-libraries is provided to allow specification of alternative library locations.

I believe this is generally true, but git happens to sit in a nexus where it is particularly true: You can't hand someone the solution to a problem they've never had.

I have a git training I developed for work that focuses not on telling everyone what the solutions to their problems are, but walking them into those problems, getting into detached head, getting into branching and rebasing problems, and then explaining how to get back out of them. I've gotten generally positive feedback from this.

If nothing else, at the very least it convinces them that when they see the "detached head" message, they can come get help and I'll be very sympathetic to what is going on, because I told them up front that I expect this sort of thing to happen and it doesn't mean they're bad people for getting into this state, and we can at least have a sane conversation about what they did to get there and what they want to happen.

It's probably particularly hard to try to tell people the solutions to problems they've never had when they also don't even know what's going on around them and what a problem even is.
It does, but it's usually the contractor who pulls the permit for you. I suspect enforcement is enough of a deterrent, but who knows. As I understand it, the penalty is that you get to rip out whatever was built without a permit.

For DIY'ers, there's actually a nice program... once you pull a permit, you get to talk with the code inspectors during their office hours, and they will walk you through everything you need to do in order to meet code. A friend of mine built an entire addition this way.

There's no way to hack-proof any taxation mechanism.
