>The reason is that my family is into music that's way off the mainstream, and we've asked the musicians directly: "Which way of buying your music nets you the most actual money?" The answer is still buying their CD.

I guess this depends on the genre, area, etc. But whenever I've talked to (low to mid level) musicians, live performances are basically the only way they make money.

The sale of music is so ridiculously low for them, particularly considering the low percentage of profit they get, that it might as well be considered an ad for the live performance.
We had a hookup at Sony Japan. Likely Sony was using our mag tape to actually master a custom CD with pits, like a store-bought music CD. Yes, it was pretty much science fiction at the time.

I'm not Walter, but this is the internet so I'd like to state my opinion where is wasn't asked for. ))

Programming really isn't easier, but it is far more accessible. In the '80s (I can't go any further back that that, sorry) one had to be able to do things properly in order to do anything. Today, one can copy and paste high-level code from public websites to get their programs to do more-or-less what they want under more-or-less trivial circumstances, without even being aware of the corner cases.

But doing it right? Still takes the same dedication to detail. Big difference is finding people to pay you to do it right instead of paying 1/4 the salary to someone who will code bugs and security issues that may lay dormant for half a decade before costing the company dearly.

Though, truth be told, most of that code won't last the half decade anyway. So there certainly is something for expedience and being first out the door.
“Was it Huawei? Hard to say. But whoever hacked Nortel attacked my community, in my mind.”

When the managerial class have finished abusing and ripping value from the company and its workers, it is a classic for them to lay the blame with the others: the inhuman Japanese, the dirty Mexicans, the cheating Chinese - they took your job and stole your wealth - not us, we are on your side.

>What, and stop being able to get free advertising on what is effectively the largest audio streaming website on the internet?

Not just free advertising. A damn lot of these music videos are "monetized", and about of half the ad revenue goes to the studios (if and how much of that money is passed on to the artists... that's another question).

Youtube should do proper DMCA, I fully agree, at least when it comes to the notice-counternotice-lawsuit process defined by the law.

However, it's not as easy. The DMCA is law in the United States, but - surprisingly to some (I have dealt with processing DMCA notices and similar, not for Youtube/Google tho) - it is not a law elsewhere and other nations have their own laws. Even the question of what happens when there is a dispute and party A is in the US and party B is e.g. in Germany is not that easy... Not even what jurisdiction Youtube itself then falls under. Browsing Youtube from Germany gives an imprint that states that the service is provided by Google Ireland Limited (the EU mothership) but also mentions the legal department of Google Germany GmbH (the German subsidiary). Youtube has been sued in German courts over copyright before (e.g. the GEMA case), and Youtube did show up because if they had ignored it instead they would have risked losing the entire German market, if not the EU market.

The kafka-esque system they have right now - with three strikes, ContentID, reporting made extremely easy for alleged copyright owners, challenging these reports made difficult and black box for the channel owners - is most likely a result of their legal department pushing for the global lowest common denominator of any jurisdiction they care about with the smallest risk of Youtube being sued and found liable for user conduct in those jurisdictions.

On top of this the error messages with a regex will be very one-dimensional.

Using regex to cover all such cases is really the wrong tool for the job.

This is a confusing statement. Pre-rendering is a core principle of "Jamstack". To quote the site[1]:

That seems the complete opposite of what you're saying the default is.

> I strongly oppose the existence of such an entity that has absolute control over land
>
> In my opinion, if someone owns land and can afford the tax, leave them be.

The government is the thing that allows the concept of land ownership. Anyone trying to take ownership will have to go through courts with legislature written by that government. Even if they gunned their way into occupation, getting a court order to have the (often better-armed) police turn it back would be possible.

I see no way around having a central coordinating body drawing up guidelines to define ownership. The ground is a finite resource I don't think anyone should be able to hoard and occupy indefinitely. That coupled with me not liking wealth inequality leads me to think that the Singapore (and others) way of leases might be good in the long run.

Great paper! Things that stood while skimming:

- Bidirectional DNS poisoning: China can send forged DNS responses if you try to access certain Chinese domains from outside the GFW. This isn't server-side enforced geoblocking.

- GFW uses a small space of forged IPs, some belonging to Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox which may be responsible for a non-negligible overhead in server costs responding to HTTP requests for irrelevant hostnames.

Can FB sue China in court for damages for the cost of serving these forged requests?
That is why I've included a question mark.

Labouring the point a little bit, the initial post wasn't an argument. It was an (admittedly awkward) longform question with a basic intent of "this is what I'm thinking, it doesn't seem very well thought out, where are the soft spots?". Telling me I'm not intelligent doesn't really give me a lead on what to do next.
Availability. Most anything else can be found implemented in other languages, but better and more concise. Nothing can beat having JS in all browsers, however.
IIRC the argument is that unitary negation is the operator with the highest presedence and one should be consistent across logical and mathematical operations. I think this is a not a completely unreasonable stance to take (and several other languages take the same), but it is unintuitive for someone who does significant scientific computing.

Reactive is a mistake. It's a tool for a specific job, sure, but it's too big and opinionated of an abstraction to use it everywhere. The future of programming should be reality based.

> Why aren’t we able to stop for a while and sort out once and for all a solid framework for coding?

There's never going to be one "solution" here. There will always be tradeoffs depending on the constraints of a given domain or problem space. One-size-fits-all solutions end up not being great for anything, since they have to make so many compromises.

Also great tools are made through solving real problems. If we just went to plato's heaven and dreamed up a "perfect" programming environment, we would end up with something which solves our problems in theory. But the issue with this is that our problems don't exist in theory, they exist in reality.
JScrambler I actually did de-obfuscate to bypass some very significant bot detection a few years ago, but it took a bit more doing -- it uses ES6 features IIRC so I had to transpile it down to ES5 via babel first, but it worked OK after that.

has a pretty good crack at obfuscator.io, too: https://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home#code%3D%252F%252F%...

That's the example from the site. "console.log('Hello world')" gets deobfuscated to "console[a(482)]("Hello World!");"
I think closure compiler's 'obfuscation' is an incidental part of its minification passes.
As a mostly (ancient!) hobbyist programmer - so take my views as a bit grumpy - we seem to have developed such complex toolchains and frameworks, that the industry suffers from 'goldfish bowl' syndrome in that the IDEs and tools have grown in complexity and size to fit the complexity we've created (that's a bit recursive!).

I know it's a crude comparison, but consider the likes of installing Turbo Pascal and a few libraries ('units') from back in the day with what I had to go through to setup the vscode-based toolchain on Linux for the Raspberry Pi Pico, which required me to fudge a script: https://github.com/linker3000/Pico-setup/blob/main/pico_setu..., and I almost gave up after 3 days of on-off tinkering trying to follow various instructions to get the same IDE running under WSL due to various quirks and changes which made the online instructions out of date or missing key tweaks.

I even approach platformio with a degree of trepidation for fear that a bucket-load of stuff will need to be updated before the odd bit of code I've hacked together will compile this time round.

Perhaps if you've grown up during the mainstream days of Eclipse, Platformio etc., their appearance and behaviour are just second nature and I'm just looking at the past through rose-tinted glasses! Oh well, back to configure and make - I can handle that!
You don't think that having an entire community to support your irrational arguments makes a difference to your level of irrationality?

The problem is that their religious peers would take their side, find "good willed this" to be a more reasonable argument than the facts, and thus they as a group wont accept the truth. Without organized irrationality they wouldn't create a support group of irrational peers to back up their irrational arguments so in most cases they would have to adapt. And such irrational support groups doesn't often materialize randomly, religion absolutely helps them. There are a few of those who aren't religious, but I condemn the irreligious ones just as much, Homeopathy is just nonsense etc.

So for me the rest doesn't matter, if an organization is first and foremost organized irrationality I'll argue that the organization is bad. Maybe you don't use it that way, but others do, and that hurts everyone.
One of the techniques is Bayesian search

I don't know whether Bayesian search is currently being used to search for the unknown reservoir species from which SARS-COV-19 jumped to infect humans (assuming a natural cause).

Under this approach, the longer the search goes on, the more we may lessen our confidence in the prior assumption that it was a natural infection.

> Pretty minor ones.

I don't know how you could say that, considering the many horrible things taught because of or done in the name of religion over the millennia. Like, to use a recent issue, the biggest thing stopping gay marriage in the US at least was people's religiously driven belief that homosexuality is morally wrong.

I know many will say, "well it's only nominally driven by religion, people would've done [bad thing] regardless". But that's a clear double standard, if you don't also say that people would've done good things regardless.

I'm guessing the truth is both: sometimes people really would've done bad or good things anyway, the religion is just a cover. And other times, they really were driven particularly by religion.

I have a program that old I just keep using and don't have "to bring it back to life":

Given two text files A and B with the lines sorted in ascending order, write a file C with the lines in common between A and B. Sure, the program is just a little command line thing with name AINTERB for A intersect B since the program is a version of intersection in set theory.

Ah, there is another one: Given a text file A with the lines sorted in ascending order, keep only the unique lines. So, that name of that one is UNIQUELN.

One more, XBLNKLNS, for delete extra blank lines, that is, so that there are no cases of more than one blank line adjacent, in a row, together.

We miss the underlying problem, the real motivations behind this push towards AI-inventors. AI inventors are owned entities. Anything "invented" by them would be wholly owned by whatever entity owns or controls the AI. Allowing this could open the door to everyday software tools becoming co-authors.

Scenario: Microsoft owns copyright over AI and makes AI available as part of windows. Are all "inventions" made using windows now also partially created/owned by Microsoft? Nobody would say that Microsoft should get rights to a book because the author using Word's spellchecker, but what about an AI-based translator program? Is the AI a co-author? If so, Microsoft could argue that it is a part owner of everything created using an AI-enabled MSword.

Scenario: Photographer takes picture of mountain. They get copyright because the contributed to the setting up of the camera. They pick the scene and they pushed the button. But new AI camera, with AI trained on all the best photographs, is now in control. Autofocus does not make the camera a creator, but an AI that has a hand in every detail of the photograph? An AI that is legally allowed to be a copyright owner? Is every photograph now a joint work between human and AI? There are lots of iPhone cameras out there. What is Apple's stance on AI creators?

While the technical merits are pretty weak, the central issue is that both Chrome and Google analytics or other ad-tech things are made by Google. So, if nothing else, a good outcome of the lawsuit would be to for Google to expand their standard incognito disclaimer to include that "Google" may track them. You may argue that everything includes Google, but the distinction is useful because Chrome is made by Google.
Something about the structure of the paragraph after the quote makes it hard to follow. I think it's this bit:

The paragraph is structured as if y explains x, but in fact y explains the entirety of the first sentence instead. It's easy to get tripped up, wonder what the link is, and then associate it with the characteristic schizophrenia of AI generated text.
