I know man, I know. I'm not so naive as to say that if a country was enlightened enough to disband their military, then other countries would leave them be. They would be a seen as a ripe fruit, and they would be picked.

I just wish it wasn't like this. I wish we didn't have people engaged in the business of enabling industrial scale murder. I wish it wasn't profitable. I wish the citizenry would see through the propaganda and hold their leaders to account. I wish it wasn't the nation's poorest who were sent to die for the benefit of the nation's richest.

The war machine is a rotten, gruesome system, and I acknowledge it's not going away any time soon. But the least we can do is agree not to actively contribute towards it.

How much of the code needs to be "unique" across a single codebase for copilot to be illegally pasting it downstream ?

For a great deal of copilot insertions, it's like the equivalent of me writing the sentence, "the man gasped in surprise" in a novel I'm working on. Yeah maybe that sentence came from somebody else's novel, but you can find the same damn sentence in a thousand other books/papers/etc as well.
I don't follow. Chevron might be a rotten company, but multiple courts in countries that aren't banana republics have found convincing the evidence that Donziger engaged in illegal behavior to procure a verdict against it in Ecuador.

If there was a legitimate case against Chevron for its past actions in Ecuador, it seems to me that Donziger has basically poisoned the well (no pun intended) and ensured that there will never be justice in any meaningful sense.

> Considered as a topological space, Cantor space happens to have the same structure as the Cantor set […]

And this is, intuitively, because every element of the (standard) Cantor set can be expressed as a trinary number in the range [0, 1) where every digit is either 0 or 2 (because at every level the middle third is excluded in the construction of the set). That is, a string of exactly two symbols – that is, a bitstring.

It has been interesting to watch how the attitude of HN crowd about remote work shifted during the pandemic. It used to be a lot more hostile, now it seems like the consensus is positive to it. For people who have been working remote before the pandemic it feels like they are not alone like monks anymore. In the end, work is a verb, not a location where people happen to go. Which ever way we make it happen , it will be interesting to watch how cities will change to accomodate this new mode of living.
I guess that's equivalent to setting up a hosts file... Unless the DNS resolver can be configured to treat a selected server on the VPN side as authoritative for .mynetwork.

Being accused of bribery by Chevron (a company as dirty as they come) is all the evidence you need, huh?
Would that it were but in my experience long meetings have been replaced with longer zoom meetings. You squeeze in more work because you're already at your desk but the communication has gone down because there's even less focus.

Of course it varies from team to team. I don't see any evidence of widespread improvement in skill. Although I think there's been some value in higher slack adoption so the barrier between offices has lowered while intra-office is worse. At least that's what I've personally seen.

You may be right, because I have not tried exa, but this is what is written in the exa documentation:

full-iso specifies the timestamp down to the millisecond,
including its offset down to the minute, without using the
locale or current year.

If this is information is obsolete, they should update their documentation, because wrong information like this discourages adoption.

>FizzBuzz has many properties that make it very suitable for these kinds of optimizations that might not be applicable to general purpose code: + extremely small working set (a few registers worth of state) + extremely predictable branching behavior + no I/O

The working set depends on how you organize the data.
I/o can be made in larger chunks most of the times. You have to consider about the data you need and when you need it.

As for branching, that most of the time depends on programmer rather than on the problem being solved. The situation where you need very complicate branching to solve a problem are rare. And I've seen O(n log n) algorithms beating clever O(n) algorithms because they could be better optimized for the CPU.
Because a javascript library is not software architecture
I've been interviewing lately and what I'm seeing is that companies are indeed hiring more internationally but salaries are also significantly up. What's different is that productivity is also up so people are building billion dollar companies with 10-20 engineers. So there's less room for people that aren't top contributors but compensation for those top contributors is still very good.
Maybe so, but on behalf of its client, the government? The court? Not on behalf of someone else who is not paying. Hard to imagine there was no other law firm that would take this job, and if not then that’s one more negative sign for validity of prosecution, right?

I went through the source and it appears to be using Geppetto [0] as a rendering backend. To be frank, you should really be using VTK.js [1] (IMHO).

The wikipedia page on Donziger [1] says that the main witness to those bribe accusations retracted his statement and gives [2] as a source for that retraction. It seems, that the US courts did not consider that retraction, though [1].

Newport (the "author" of the above fluff piece) himself is no slouch either. He implements the same Ferris modus operandi you describe. As I noted it more than two years ago here[1][2], he has been on a multi-book contract on the same theme with minor tweaks. So Newport will drum up attention about them in all subtle ways possible. Same story with the intolerable Ryan Holiday -- he repackages the Greek/Roman originals into breathless "books".

The alternative to the empty books by the above people is to read the original classics, and the actual scholars who did the work (Csikszentmihalyi, Kahneman, Richard Thaler, Timothy Wilson and many others).

If Microsoft noticed that a substantial number of contributors were putting in these "Poisoned Well license restrictions" in their repositories, it would be relatively trivial to automatically filter out those code bases using some basic heuristics to determine if the license was biased against systems like copilot.

Ah, yes, a functional court system is one that can be “pissed off” rather than, you know, carry out its mandate to be impartial.

There is no precedent to support Kaplan or Preska not recusing themselves, or at least letting the legal procedures as written play out (i.e. random assignment of a judge)

Nevertheless, the alleged “evidence” of such a bribe is verifiably traced itself to… a bribe, by Chevron. For a case brought by an official and presided over by an US judge who accept bribes (sorry, lobbyist money) from… Chevron.

From a comment above:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/28/chevron-lawy...
> In one of the stranger episodes in this saga, Chevron relocated Alberto Guerra, an Ecuadorian judge, and his family to the US, paid for his health insurance and a car while meeting with him more than 50 times before he provided testimony that Donziger discussed the bribe with him at a Quito restaurant. Guerra has since admitted that his testimony was exaggerated in parts, untrue in others.
I love Linux but I can think of two quite popular OSes developed by companies with centralized offices/campuses. Linux also has a lot of contributions that were written in an office, I'm sure.

QAnon exists for the same reason Alex Jones exists. Sensation sells. You can still be an (entirely rational) "prepper" if you want to be.

By the same token, you can probably try to be an independent, investigative journalist even if you are bound to not survive scrutiny, especially if you let foundational research practices and sourcing slip.

Talking about international bodies, we should also consider the opinion of the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Dention, which is that "Noting all the above, the Working Group concludes that the detention of Mr. Donziger
lacks legal basis and is therefore arbitrary, falling within category I of the arbitrary detention
categories referred to by the Working Group when considering cases submitted to it. ". See here [1] for the detailed opinion.

The amount of conflicting information on the Donziger case is quite staggering but maybe quite natural given that there is so much money at stake.

EDIT: updated to quote from and link to original working group document.

That’s because 1000 listeners versus 1000 attendees isn’t really a like for like comparison. Getting people to come and see a band live involves a whole lot more effort on the audiences part. Similarly live performances are worth much more than listening to recorded performances.

PiHole also performs upstream DNS lookups, which could also be handed over to 3rd parties, be that Google (8.8.8.8), or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), or even your own ISP.

My understanding (and I invite correction if I'm mistaken) is that the Swift Foundation was created to address the principal concerns you've articulated. But ports have been slow: Linux works but with the previously mentioned lack of libraries, and there is a threadbare port to Windows which barely runs.

The app I was working on was CLI-based that generated a log; and even for that non-UI use case, basic libraries were effectively missing.

It's a shame because it's truly an elegant language.
Not disagreeing or anything, but an Advent of Code sized example will not be anywhere close in complexity to your typical CRUD application. The thing is, we possibly could not even write most of these applications in a low level language, as we should not forget that while Rust indeed has good abstractions, low level languages simply leak memory-related informations to high levels as well, making it necessary to deal with them on a high level. And in these cases, time to market, speed of refactors and maintainability is much more important than the row speed (which again, may not even be that significant at all. Eg, often most work is done on the db side)
The port congestion problem comes partly from incoming traffic being up while outgoing traffic is flat or down. Port Hueneme in Ventura County, CA, is a major agricultural export port. They have enough outgoing traffic to keep full containers going out, and they're not overloaded. Nor are they choked with empties.

Freightwaves has good coverage of this issue.[2] Comments from people who are working to fix the problem.

There's a startup working on this, "Container-Xchange".[3] They're trying to connect people with empties with people who want containers. Their site is funny to read, because it's designed like a B2C site, aimed at a B2B industry. "100% free and no credit card required".
"Grow your network in container logistics." You can just see the VC pitch deck: "Uber for containers". Their competitor, MatchBox [4], seems to be further along. At least their list of partners includes major shipping lines. But they're still thinking B2C. "5 free bookings for referring one person".

What they're both trying to do is create something like the settlements system US railroads have for boxcars, which makes them mostly interchangeable regardless of who owns them.
But those startups are working from a position of far less strength than the Association of American Railroads. The startups have to get container owners and users to sign up, and there are lots of players. Even then they mostly make bilateral swaps.
One outcome of this empty container mess may be some major ports saying "look, you want to park an empty at this port, you have to sign up with the settlements system so we can send it out".

You want high and fast bandwidth between the different brains.

Me writing something in my cocoon for 15 minutes, then someone reading that and replying what is wrong with that is not very efficient.

Just throwing some thoughts in the open air and others responding to that, crystallizes much faster.

Same with giving feedback about user interfaces. It's so much easier to just walk to someone's desk and point at what you think should be changed. You can interact instantly.

That is not to say that I don't see the value in written communication, documentation and having a log of what happened. It's very much a trade-off.
