I doubt you can redistribute the fixed product, that would definitely be a copyright infringement.

But I don’t see why you couldn’t distribute a patch file, which people could apply to their own (legitimately acquired) copy of the original binary.

Although I complained about europeans in my other comment, I could as well complain about americans, and the fake american smile would be at the top of my list.
Yeah a patch should be fine though
It looks like you can fix it yourself, or ask someone, as long as you have a legal copy.

I think (IANAL) redistributing is okay as log as it requires a lawfully acquired copy of the program.

I wonder if that would help the open source GTA remake case. They can argue it now runs on ARM for instance, which would be okay given the text.
>I just noticed there as at least a break down by leave/remain vote in the 'politics' tab

How could you have 'just noticed' this? I pointed it out to you more than a day earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28780429

You're not paying attention. It's impossible to have a discussion.
> Because we need a lot of energy and soon - to scrub all that CO2 gas, coal&oil threw and are still throwing into the atmosphere.

I'm not sure how nuclear plants that take 20 years to build count as "soon".

> Also because we need baseline power

"Baseline" is a useless word regarding supply. (It still has utility when regarding demand). There are two types of supply -- cheap and peak. It used to be that the cheapest power was that generated by running a plant at 100% 24/7, so people used the word "base" to describe cheap power.

Many small utilities have 0 baseline power, they run purely on dispatchable power. They use natgas or diesel generators that they can throttle up or down to match demand.

IOW, baseline power is only useful if it is cheap. Otherwise, you might as well use dispatchable power.

Baseline nuclear is far from cheap, and dispatchable nuclear is even more expensive.

> for when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shinning.

Ways to do demand matching that are (a lot) cheaper than using dispatchable nuclear:

- using a mix of renewable sources (aka wind & solar is more reliable than wind or solar)

- geographic diversity, HVDC lines between grids (the wind is always blowing somewhere)

- overprovisioning (IOW, size your solar plants for cloudy days rather than sunny ones. 3*$10 is still a lot less than $200.

- load shifting, AKA time of use pricing

- batteries

- pumped hydro

- hydrogen as storage

- other storage

- fossil plants with capture

Is that also true for Firefox, Chrome on iOS?

Believe it or not, there are some people in the tech community who actually think this is a good thing.

Some even believe that there are only two genders!
BorrowScript: TypeScript with a Borrow Checker
Webkit ITP is Apple's way of trying to "balance" the interest of advertising platforms (which it also has) vs the interests of Safari users. Thus, it still allows for some tracking. As a user that is hostile to tracking and profiling, I prefer the more aggressive solution of blocking the tracking cookies altogether in the first place, and preventing any tracking. Thus, uBlock Origin offers the ideal solution to me, as unlike ITP, it blocks all tracking cookies and even goes further by preventing the tracking codes from even executing (thus even preventing the trackers from using other methods that advertisers have started using to bypass ITP - https://resources.observepoint.com/blog/webkit-itp-analytics... ). Thus, I feel ITP is a pretty limited and inferior solution from that perspective.

(I also believe this feature was introduced to introduce another vector for data collection of browsing data of its users that don't use Safari on iCloud - while ITP does run on the machine, it gave Apple a good excuse to initially collect cookie data from all users to analyse it for ITP modeling - Apple does collect data "to improve its services". Honestly, I am just very cynical about Apple and other BigTech when it comes to my privacy and data.)

Good to know that WebExtensions API has been ported to Webkit by the Orion team. It needs to be seen how they've implemented it though - even Chrome supports WebExtensions but we all know how Blink has been modified to cripple uBlock Origin and other adblockers on it.
China proposes prohibiting private investment in news service sector
Thank you for asking instead of just downvoting, it is very valuable to me to be able to see how my message can convey different meaning from what I intended.

What I'm saying is that EU has means of causing negative consequence for Poland (and any other member) should they decide to engage into activities that are incompatible with EU values (like violating human rights, breaking trade agreements made by EU, etc).
> Another consideration is that, at scale, no sql is way cheaper.

Define "scale" and "cheaper".

I have some SQLite databases that are chewing through over 1K writes per second in production (WAL=on). Many of our transactions resolve within 10-100 microseconds because the application process and the database process are the same thing.

SQLite seems to be one of the cheapest options available, being totally free and of negligible footprint. It's also exceedingly cheap in terms of engineering complexity and scary unknowns. Something about being literally the most deployed piece of software on earth seems to help.

NoSQL reads like a religion to me these days. Starting with something that is actively trying to tear itself apart due to the inherent complexity seems like a horrible way to build a 5 user POC.
Hopefully Starlink and similar help.

Water/sewage is fairly straightforward anywhere you can drill a well. And there are various options for electric and heat.

But if you can't get wired broadband, your options today are either satellite (expensive, laggy) or microcell (expensive, not available everywhere)--neither of which allow you to "just use" streaming and other data-intensive services a lot of people increasingly see as necessary.

And outside of a short-term vacation home, it's not unreasonable to think that at least minimal (e.g. no video streaming Internet) is something of a requirement for most people.
It Appears FUTEX2 Will Land for Linux 5.16
I really encourage you to want to watch this even if you're normally skeptical of video content. It uses the visual medium well, to show how large graphics can be made from a downright tiny number of tiles.
Yes. LFP batteries use lithium, iron and phosphorous, all extremely common elements world wide.
I have an iPhone and use almost every Google service available instead of the Apple one. Why? Not because the app is better, but because I'm also using Linux & Windows, as well as a Android tablet. With Google services at least I'm not locked into one platform.
I cringe every time at the name "torture test". Prime95 uses it too for example. Is it really a torture for a software to demonstrate each of its features? Or for my CPU to work at near 100%? So insensitive.
Tesla’s move has nothing to do with California. Musk got his ego hurt because he wasn’t given special treatment during covid when he asked for special exemption to run his plants. He may have chosen Texas for the taxes but he would have moved even if Texas didn’t exist, may be.
That's a good point. It's definitely not a drawing tool. More of an electronic version of post-it notes and images on a whiteboard. You can "draw" diagrams using shapes and arrows and text, but not freeform. I personally haven't missed freeform drawing.
I suppose people weigh the pros and cons and make a choice.

I wonder how much legislation like Texas puts out reduces demand for relocating to Texas (or I suppose increases if there are actually people into that)?

But I don’t suspect that this legislation would really affect whether companies change headquarters or do business.

I mean, companies have locations in UAE and other countries that have way more bizarre laws (eg, homosexuality is illegal, etc).
> does it allow for redistribution of the fixed product?

Nah, that would almost certainly infringe upon the exclusive [power] of the copyright holder to distribute the original product.

But I presume this may allow you to redistribute a minimal binary patch, or allow you to describe how to make the modifications manually.
Maybe? A Polish colleague happened to spend some time with, IIRC, a Scott and an Aussie. The two native speakers would resort occasionally to use him as an interpreter, because the native English tends to diverge out of bounds of their tolerances.
AFAIU the second part of the ruling states that you don't need to warn/get permission by the author.
Basically, you can fix it for your own consumption.

Surely you can't redistribute copyrighted material.
Something worth mentioning is that your error types do NOT have to implement std::error::Error. The type parameters on Result<T, E> have no constraints.

So, only your public API should implement std::error::Error.

Likewise, you don't HAVE TO implement From for all of your error types. In fact, it has some of the same concerns that implicit constructors in C++ have in that it's easy to just throw try-operators around without thinking about whether you actually want to bubble up an error in a specific scenario.

I think a lot of people who pick up Rust might not realize that and end up thinking the error defining process is even more tedious than it really is.
I think way too much is being made of this. They're moving the "HQ". The reason tech companies start in the Bay Area (talent hiring) isn't really affected, they aren't moving any engineers.

And the big thing they're doing in Texas, the giant factory beginning to ramp in Austin, has been known for years. It's not like they were going to build a second Bay Area gigafactory...
There's a difference between an ORM and a query builder. Full-blown ORMs often allow you to pretend that all you have are "regular" objects that just happen to do database queries when you access them; and that's the kind of ORM that often leads to inefficient database access and fragile code when the program throws an exception when you just wanted to iterate over a list because that iteration actually caused a fetch from a database that happened to have a failover event.

With a query builder, you can still use the database in a type-safe way and without gluing strings together, but accessing the database is also more explicit, so mistakes are harder to make.

It's fine to represent the result of a database query as a sequence, but its type and interface should be different from that of eg. a list datastructure, because it can fail. similarly, if you have "User" objects representing users, it needs to be explicit which methods fetch data from the database and which use only in-memory properties that code may freely access. Preferably, have different types for "UserInDB" and "User" altogether, with some glue to go between them.
I got a laugh out of that graph. (I actually did roll my own static site generator, but in defiance of the statistics, the overwhelming majority of my posts, about 3-4 a week, aren't about the software.)

>Are the students doing poorly in those schools because they are poorly run/staffed/and funded, or is it the case that the students in those schools have more problems at home leading to poorer results?

There has been research (don't have it handy right now) that there's a negative feedback loop with that.

Schools in poor areas tend to have less parental involvement (and direct economic support from those parents as is common in wealthier neighborhoods), so school staff don't have as many resources and aren't as incentivized to raise expectations of the students.

That creates an environment where the students aren't learning as well as in other neighborhood schools.

I suspect that if the authority figures on either side of that raise their expectations and requirements of the students, the negative feedback loop can be, at least partially, short-circuited.

>In other words, is this a problem schools can fix at all?

Yes. They can't do as much as schools with significantly more parental involvement, but improving the teacher/staff performance would likely improve parent performance.

No, it's not a panacea, but blaming all this on poor parenting and throwing up our hands just promotes the centuries-old trope that "poor people are morally and intellectually inferior. It's obvious, if they weren't so they wouldn't be poor."

That's circular reasoning and doesn't reflect reality.
Free as in beer. I wouldn't trust such an intrusive proprietary application on my machine from a vendor who doesn't need to care about its reputation.
The western US has a different concept of water rights because there’s literally not enough water for everyone to do what they want with it. All the water that falls is already accounted for, possibly by someone way downstream of you. Even if you don’t live near a river, that water is draining to somewhere and spoken for. If everyone collects it then whoever has the claim to that water is being denied their property rights, most of which were allocated on the basic concept of “finders keepers” a couple hundred years ago during the settling of the American west.

The challenge is that people invest their money and lives (building businesses) on the fact that they have these water rights so it’s hard to change without creating high emotions on both sides (“water is a human right” vs the primacy of property rights)
I agree. We’ve built automation that ingests geocoding data from multiple services, and keeps the system up to date. The models for an “Address“ get complex, a single entity can have many different types of addresses.
You could normalize the PW before hashing (invert case unless last letter is lower case, then make 1st letter lower case)
I was in a Gifted and Talented program and it was by far the worst thing I ever did in school. 3 years of being told I was special completely sapped my motivation to do anything difficult. At 30 I'm just now learning -- after coasting through school and getting a great job, somehow, by luck -- to learn how to fail.

I'm happy they are winding these things down.
No, this doesn't neccessarily imply that. The copyright owner possesses multiple rights and some of those rights only apply to distribution of altered works while still allowing alterations. E.g. you buy a house from an architect. Can the architect sue you if you add another door?

When you buy some media from the copyright owner, you can distribute it freely. This is called first sale doctrine in the USA, and is also present in certain forms in EU copyright law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine

The first sale doctrine is not present for digital goods though, at least in the USA. In the EU, there has been a court case in 2012 UsedSoft GmbH v. Oracle International Corp which established something like that for digital goods too. But I'm not an expert on this.
If you aren't missing something, wouldn't this happen naturally? They claim it's cheaper and scalable, what's stopping them from doing this everywhere and putting everything else out of business? There is plenty of money floating around lately if it's viable they should be able to get capital.
>Allowing other app stores doesn't imply that they are uncurated.

The point is once they are curated then the people writing yet another garbage horoscope app are still going to be out of luck.

>And the threat of alternative app store competition would of course also limit the censorship and abuse of power Apple/Google can pull in their app store practices.

Choosing what is in your store isn't an abuse of power.
Okay this is good info, thanks! Created an Issue here: https://github.com/raimohanska/ourboard/issues/160

It's a single-page app so to support in-app navigation (back button etc) it needs to interact with the browser's History API.
@chrisandchris is correct. NoSQL means "Not Only SQL"

Furthermore, the article is uninformed and writes as if "NoSQL" is an alternative paradigm to SQL. In fact, NoSQL covers a whole range of paradigms and approaches, from key-value, to document, to graph, to more exotic flavors. Some of which can even be queried with SQL

ACID can be a feature of other database paradigms as well, if necessary. With MongoDB Atlas, for instance, an engineer can ensure that data consistency is high priority across clusters. Or not, if that's not important.

On top of all that, table-based database management systems are designed to prioritize saving hard drive space over cpu cycles. As cpu cycles have become more expensive relative to "hard drive space", the need for this kind of database has declined.
Same. I wonder how it would have fared in the world of Apple Pencil, where the feeling of literally writing notes on a yellow pad could have been extended out of the device and in to the world. I like the current stuff and think skeuomorphism ran it's course, but I never hated it and never understood why people did. Apple didn't even come up with it - remember Microsoft Bob? It was just a product of a time when computers had to be more friendly and feel like real stuff and not the other way around.
I was honestly surprised to see the most mobile traffic being from Africa. I knew that mobile was very important there, but it was my understanding that it was mostly via older bar phones, due to how popular SMS solutions seem to be.
The people who normally get spyware can't operate it.
Completely agree. I left Visa for an early stage startup and I didn't focus on the stock too much. Cash in hand matters more.
This is the second time these PayPal mafia-types have tried to make a California exodus happen. First time was right after their liquidity event, when they moved to all of the usual states where you go (Washington, Nevada, whatever). It didn’t work.

There is this amazing thing that happens in California, where culture and technology go to war with each other and engage in a death match that creates better technology and (sometimes, like in the 90s) better culture. This doesn’t really happen anywhere else. And if this is the end of that cycle, it’s sad for a whole lot more than the people who live in California. So, I hope it fails once again.

I wish these stories were written as they should be: “economic migrants who became rich off California decide to leave the state, try to turn it into a social movement.” For some reason that only happens when right-wing politicians want to paint non-members of a certain ethnicity as a bunch of parasites...
From skimming it, a legal purchaser can decompile it only to the extent necessary to fix errors affecting operation, and copyright remains with the original rights holder. It's very limited.
You mean windows. Neither do i. Linux and VMs for the proprietary crap.
Are you talking about this tool or Windows itself?
> the media essentially leaking the keys

"Essentially" seems to suggest that the media didn't literally publish the key. So let's be literal: Luke Harding, who is employed by The Guardian, published (not "leaked") the key, in a book published by - The Guardian.
I wish more companies did things like this. I had a really horrible experience trying to cancel my ADT security subscription and they simply wouldn’t take no for an answer after being on the phone for an hour. It ended badly with me throwing a tantrum and shouting and banging. I will never use that company again nor recommend their services because of their obtuse off boarding process. Had they handled their offboarding better I might still be a potential customer in the future.

I think it’s similar with quitting your job and “not burning bridges”. You never know what may happen in the future.

> the difference between AP and non-AP Tesla's isn't large enough (for me anyhow) to actually draw any conclusions from

Fine. But then why do you feel so certain about a data set of 13 points over three years? The point under discussion is a contention that AP is less safe because the autobraking doesn't work with emergency vehicles.
>The kids play minecraft with their friends while mom and dad stream netflix. Step into a modern off-grid house and you wouldn't see any differences.

Well, if part of being off-grid pressuposes the existance of a huge global and domestic grid to fund, manufacture, transport, and sell you things like internet service, routers, Netflix shows, computer games, televisions, laptops, all kinds of electric and digital appliances, solar cells, batteries, and so on, trucks, factories and cargo ships to transport them, mines extracting resources to make them, the associated with the above waste disposal, even cities and businesses built around all these to support the people making those and their families (plus your own work, paid in regular currency to afford the aforementioned), I'm not sure how "off-grid" it really is...

This "off grid" sure is not some Walden style affair. It just means "I buy and setup "renewable energy" units for my family's exclusive energy production and storage and have a self-owned shit disposal method, otherwise you couldn't tell mine from any other house in the area".
I think that’s a likely route. It’s a question of what is more efficient, compute of hash or storage/retrieval and comparison to multiple.

To implement, choice of storing three hashes or computing n * hashes where n < 1, the probability of getting a match before having to try another.
Agreed. The country will be better off if things spread out a little over tthe country. You could argue that the high density of companies in SV is actually causing a lot of problems for a lot of people who need a place to live.
What bacteria are especially bad and found only in human excrement?
I think Elon is playing the long game and there are some other side benefits. Is he frustrated with California? For sure. He’s also close to SpaceX operations in Texas where he’ll be spending a lot of time, but the long con I think he is playing is this:

Conservatives don’t like California. Electric cars are a “liberal” thing. Except when a guy like Elon says government bad, California bad, taxes bad, I’m moving to Texas to hang out with the cool kids and then all of a sudden he’s made it acceptable culturally for conservatives to own electric cars because hey he’s a Texas guy now. Pair that with his maverick reputation and now he’s yet again accelerating EV adoption by reducing cultural barriers. It’ll be telling if Texas reverses their anti-market laws preventing Tesla from being able to sell cars in Texas. That’s the first sign.

Elon doesn’t need to win over liberals - they’re on the EV train already. But he does have to make friends with and win over conservatives.

Does he have this master plan? Doubt it. But it’ll work out this way anyway IMO.
Yes, through you might(?) distribute a tool to help people "fix" their thing themself.

Like bundling a open source decompiler, recompiler, code to work around decompilation restrictions and a patch into a single binary you can then use to fix the actual binary.
