I worked at Adobe at the time, adjacent to Flash, and as far as I know nothing you've written here is true. To answer only technical points, Flash for iPhone (which existed, and worked) was built off FlashLite, which supported touch events and had hardware video (naturally, it's not like software decoding was an option). OTOH StageVideo and Stage3D play no role in this, as they came along ~5 years after FlashLite or potential iphone support was a thing.
The GP provided a cogent argument regarding need for fertilizer and its climate impact. I don't see any connection between what they posted and the parent, which sets up a strawperson and tries to hang it on the GP (and a coworker), and contributes nothing to our knowledge.
Which does point to the hidden danger of the FSF licenses when “any later version” exists.

The problem is that residential proxies are primarily used for abusive purposes, like credit card fraud (e.g. making purchases with a proxy in the same city as the credit card holder) or web forum spam. There are very few legitimate use cases for these services; most of the ones I have heard are either poorly justified (you don't really need a residential IP to test web site performance, for example) or borderline abusive (like content scraping or sneaker botting).
It seems to me like there is a trend towards regarding LinkedIn as a security risk.
I don't want the car to control the temperature automatically, because maintaining a set level is not a useful requirement. 20° C or any other number is not a rigid standard. It might feel cold or hot for any given moment in any given situation based on any amount of other environmental factors - outside temperature, clothing, sunlight, activity level while in the vehicle. Human perception is famously wildly variable and often more relative than absolute.

I want a car that has a dial for "hotter" or "colder" and that's it. I'll adjust it in response to my perceptions at any given moment. With a motion wired in to a couple seconds of muscle memory and not poking around layers of touch screen menus.

Some car manufacturers have figured out that some people don't want the fancy garbage. I bought a Nissan Kicks last year and it has every control as a simple manual knob or button; the touchscreen only controls audio features.
> Engineers aren’t allowed “one small fuckup” when building bridges and buildings. Doctors aren’t allowed “one small fuckup” in the OR or when calculating dosages.

But engineers aren’t held responsible if a malicious actor drivers a bulldozer into one of the bridge’s columns and brings it down. Same with a doctor. If someone is maliciously messing with the meds, then they are not responsible for over or under dosing.

With these security incidences, we are dealing with malicious actors trying to being down the system. I don’t think you can use analogies from civil engineering or medicine for that.
Worse even. They blame themselves for being bad at things.
fs events do not scale on linux, at least not with the inotify facility as watching directories is not recursive and watching large trees, e.g. for creations, modifications or removals .htaccess, will essentially require you to have an additional watch descriptor per directory, and there are limits on number of queued events as well as number of watch descriptors per user. The alternate fanotify has it's own set of drawbacks, such as the need for CAP_ADMIN. Not to mention the mess you may get in when you're trying to monitor certain file systems, especially certain network-attached ones.

Other operating systems have drawbacks as well.

It's probably a safer and maybe even more efficient bet to just do the stats and opens and hope that the kernel/OS file system caches will save the day. Or you can go the nginx route and not support .htaccess like facilities (e.g. turn if off in apache).

Let's take a step back and think how bizarre the common reactionary appeal to cruelty is anywhere outside its political context. We want more cruelty! Is that a goal? Why are we posting fantasies about how great cruelty would be? On top of that, it's completely baseless.
Well, hey. I don't see my site show up here that often. If anyone's got comments, questions, or suggestions, I'll try to stop by and respond at some point.
Let me frame it another way - if someone said, "Hey, I have ALS, and here's what I did to fix it" - would we be having the same conversation? Or, "Hey, I have pancreatic cancer, and instead of medicine, I'm going with a fruits and coffee enema approach"

We would be talking about how irresponsible it is - which in fact, we did on this very site:

To be clear - I am not a victim, I have never suffered from clinical depression. I don't care about the victim olympics. But there's a whole host of conditions where we immediately disregard people who say they fixed it themselves, or tried to fix it themselves. But take something like depression and we are saying that "hey this worked for someone else so we should consider it, and criticizing it is a victim mentality"
True. A town I used to live in (Alamogordo, NM) had light ordinances to avoid light pollution due to a number of nearby observatories, for example:

> Offstreet lighting shall be shielded and/or directed in such manner that it only illuminates the user's premises and does not spill over into neighboring residential areas so as to interfere with the peaceful enjoyment of residential properties.

Nice article, but I wanted to point out that you seem to imply that Rust "mitigate(s) or completely eliminate(s)" deadlocks and race conditions. Neither of these is true:

0. Deadlock: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

1. Race condition: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

Perhaps you were thinking about data races, which are unsafe and therefore not allowed by Safe Rust? The Rustonomicon (https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/races.html) defines data races as:

- two or more threads concurrently accessing a location of memory

- one or more of them is a write

- one or more of them is unsynchronized

Possibly you knew all of this and just got carried away in your enthusiasm for Rust (very much shared!), but lest your readers think Rust is actual magic instead of merely amazing, it might be nice to clarify the article.
Glad to see Slitaz still alive and going well. I first used it probably in 2010, and I really liked how different it was from other distros at the time.
That was my first and my favorite so far. I did it in Haskell, barely knowing Haskell, which made things a bit interesting. I ended up learning/using STArray for the memory.

Ah. Well, computers seen as tools of centralized oppression was a pretty old theme by then. If anything, personal computers were understood as tools of liberation because for the first time you could have it all just to yourself: your data and software tools on your own hardware. (The famous “1984” Apple ad by Ridley Scott builds on these fears and hopes.)

> Food and shelter clearly aren't solved by the free market ...

That's shifting the goalposts and not what I said. They are mostly solved (along with other issues) by free markets. Most people get their food and shelter that way, and the market generates most of the wealth needed to feed and shelter the others.
I don’t want to sound contrarian, but my take on almost all of these is the exact opposite of yours. Was literally discussing a couple of those with a friend yesterday :)

- COVID will continue to be a thing. Some new variant will come along and booster vaccines will follow. Most countries will restrict lockdowns only for the unvaccinated, as everyone accepts the “new normal”

- The fed will keep interest rates low, but it won’t matter, as inflation picks up, earnings get slammed and stocks will either crash or trend completely sideways.

- Supply chain issues will get worse throughout 2022, massively fueled by China economy deceleration. Inflation will remain higher than we’ve seen in the past decade, but with a slowdown in consumption, will not go into hyperinflation levels.

- Crypto will NOT undergo a major crash in 2022, contradicting the consensus it’s crashing any minute now. The large volume of “staked” coins and the Futurization of Bitcoin will prevent a full on crash, but will also prevent further 100x runs (at least for next year)

- AR/VR metaverse type stuff will go big next year, from Apple to multiple Chinese brands launching their products. No megahit product will be announced though, and Apple’s entrant will get the same muted initial adoption the Apple Watch did (and be equally prototype-y)

- China will officially start its perma-recession era, just like Japan in the 80s. China won’t invade Taiwan (yet).

- GenZ digital consumerism remains on the rise, with the first series of Fortnite-exclusive Yeezys selling millions of copies. Robux credit cards get introduced, becoming one of the main forms of “banking” for many teens. The Digital Objects economy will start to get mainstream hype
The tooling system was ok even then, but core development seemed listless. Vitalik gave a keynote at a conference I went to and talked about why it was actually good for the ecosystem that he and all the core contributors spent all their time traveling to conferences.

Since then, transactions per day on the network have doubled, but gas costs are up 10X in gwei and some truly ludicrous multiplier in dollars. I suspected then that the switch to Proof of Stake and other scaling fixes was the fusion power of ETH, always six months away, and that concern looks really vindicated.
I took a computational neuroscience course many years ago and discovered just how primitive our understanding of neural circuitry is. Case in point: at the time (don't know how it is now) it was not possible to precisely model more than a handful of neurons in time domain. This is done with differential equations, but the systems get extremely complicated very quickly and you can't realistically expect to solve them and get something predictive out. One cell is quite easy. 2 is already getting harder and 3 and beyond are crazy because everything is affected by everything. From that I concluded that we simply don't have the right math to express this. If there have been any developments on the math side since then I'd be interested in hearing about it.

This is likely why ANNs effectively model neurons in frequency domain (where magnitude of the signal is proportional to the strength of the spike train). But they don't do the same thing, and the mechanism the real neurons use to learn patterns is completely different - it relies (in part) on timing of signal arrival, and the processes are continuous, there aren't any "forward" or "backward steps". Nor are there any gradients. And there are other timing effects that have to do with chemistry, on top of all that.
Creating the most startups is not the same as succeeding at them.

The reason ex-googlers could create the most startups are:

1) There's a lot of google employees, so a large population of former employees

2) They're paid some of the highest salaries in the world, so can afford the runway to start their own company (this is hugely important.) Although the occasional MVP is written in a weekend, more likely it takes about 90 days, and without a salary most people can't afford to do that. The life cycle of most startups is about 7 years, so a long-term commitment.

Back in the day, business owners used to say, "I pay my staff well, but not enough to leave me." That's why.

3) Their pedigree makes it easier to get VC funding. VCs actually think, "Since the founders are ex-google, this must be a good opportunity." in the sense of social proof.

(VCs hate when they hear a pitch like, "after we get funding, these other people will join" since the other people don't sound committed, and may actually decline to join after getting funding anyway, and most people including VCs are naysayers and nitpickers.)

4) Google is a Bay Area company, so no non-competes, like Boston has. Parallel to that is the SV startup culture, where startup risk is normalized - good luck trying that in Europe or Japan.

However, note that a lot of ex-googlers admit to struggling when founding startups because the infrastructure (and monopoly sales) they're used to doesn't exist outside google (borg, bigtable, pregel, etc.) It's much easier for somebody who used AWS or ran a lemonade stand before to build their first business than "institutionalized" ex-googlers.

What's interesting is the contrast between software and hardware startups. Since hardware is so expensive, Cisco funded several "spin-outs" to create new product lines. Ironically, Zoom is their biggest and unintentional "spin-out", but it was software and the value was captured by an ex-manager, not Cisco itself. (Zoom was formed from 40 ex-Cisco Webex staff.) :)
That's why it was put in parentheses… ;-)

"UPDATE: San Francisco Mayor, Police Chief Promise Crackdown on Crime After Brazen Union Square Spree"

Some excerpts:

«...Police have arrested eight people so far, and the chief said on Saturday he expects there will be more arrests to come.

Scott described those arrested as young adults, mostly residents of the Bay Area, some of whom are familiar faces to SFPD.

...

Police had already upped their visibility in Union Square for the holiday season. That’s one reason why Union Square Alliance Executive Director Marisa Rodriguez believes more shops weren’t hit.

...

On Saturday, SFPD upped their visibility even more so than before, with officers seen throughout Union Square. Scott said that will be the norm for the holiday season.

“We will flood this area with police officers for the foreseeable future,” he said. “We will do what we need to do to put an end to this madness.”»

Man looking at some of the comments here about distances, my longest single-day bike ride was 50 miles of mostly flat but some decent hills Claremont, CA to Sherman Oaks, CA. I didn't do a super-strenuous pace and did things like stop for a leisurely lunch at Souplantation in Pasadena, but it was still pretty much a full day ride (although Google Maps claims it can be done in 4h16m). (I also think my route was not quite the same as what Google is suggesting since this was pre-Google maps. I had my Thomas Guide in a backpack in case I needed to consider route options.) I really should pull my bike out of the basement once it gets a bit warmer and start getting some distance in again. My last significant bike ride was on a Divvy from downtown Chicago to Oak Park (about 8 miles). I had to do a check-in check-out halfway through because of Divvy's restrictions on how long you can have a bike for a single ride.
The author's first example is good, but trying the apply the same thing to WiFi is incorrect.

The neighboring reader is using surplus light that spills out the neighbor's window. The neighbor might have instead kept and used more of his light by pulling down a light-colored shade, reflecting it back into his room. The light out the window was truly abandoned, as if it were left in the street, and will not cause any additional costs to the neighbor.

However, with WiFi, the signal is not abandoned, and is in fact limited in many circumstances. One is not simply picking up abandoned broadcast packets like receiving an over-the-air TV or Radio broadcast, which would be like the light spilling out the window. Instead you are establishing a session on the router and sending, requesting, and receiving packets specifically for your own browsing. This consumes router capacity, and potentially limited bandwidth of the owner, potentially even incurring the neighbor with the WiFi higher costs.

So, I'd say the reader is not stealing, but the WiFi user is, unless of course the WiFi neighbor is specifically making it available for free use. (Whether this stealing is of any consequence depends on the circumstance - at the extremes, are they just using it for a few seconds to check an essential text email, or downloading torrents that'll bog down the router and get the neighbor overcharged and cutoff?)

I also did that year in haskell! My favorite part was using knot tying to feed the output of my intcode machine into itself! Lazy evaluation allowed me to continue expressing my intcode machine as a pure function of [Int] -> [Int] without having to restructure the entire machine to allow getting an output, then adding the next input to the machine in a step-wise manner usually accomplished with generators of some sort in other languages

This didn't really work for me. I already had Azul's Zulu v15 installed so figured I'd give this a try.

I pressed ⌘ ⇧ A and typed "Choose Boot" in Actions, picked "Choose Boot Java Runtime for the IDE", then selected Zulu 15 and restarted IntelliJ… then the outline of main window loaded with its menu, but none of its contents. It was all gray and none of the panels ever appeared. They eventually showed up after I resized the window but I'd consistently get in this state each time the IDE started.

Also, the fonts didn't appear to render correctly. It's hard to say exactly what's wrong with them but the letter spacing and subpixel rendering seemed to be different.

Is there anything else to do to make this work without having to resize the window each time?
Does that count for the children that they knowingly had cobble together parts in third world countries, or just for Cupertino software engineers and genius bar staff?
I imagine if this ever comes to bite projects in a big way, they'll move to the legal agreement of the type you suggest, and/or cease accepting contributions from the relevant jurisdictions.

That being said, LLVM is not asking for a copyright contribution here. They are asking the contributors to sign an agreement, the meat of which is, "The Contributor authorizes LLVM to include the Contributions in the LLVM project, and the Contributor hereby licenses the Contributions under the terms of the Apache Software License, version 2.0, with the LLVM exception." That's not a copyright assignment.

Other groups also do not ask for a copyright assignment. Here's from Google's CLA: "Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, You hereby grant to Google and to recipients of software distributed by Google a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute Your Contributions and such derivative works." In this agreement, you still own the copyright, but you've given Google a perpetual, worldwide, royalty free and sublicensable license, which means that Google could basically reexport your contributions under whatever license they want. Facebook/Meta's CLA is almost identical. They aren't excluding any countries from contributing, so presumably this type of language is sufficiently enforceable everywhere.
No. And the WiFi analogy doesn't work either. Both fail as an introduction to the question of employer benefit from remote workers.

A more interesting question: is the excess light of your neighbour's lamp actionable as unwanted environmental pollution?

This reminds me of the time when I had a TV attached to my computer through HDMI and I wanted to write a program that checked whether it was on or off.

But if you grant a license that's sublicensable and exclusive (with all the extra legal rights granted), that's effectively transferring copyright since you can do everything you could as if you had transferred copyright.
It eliminates this problem by creating another one. That you need to jump through a couple of hoops before you contribute.

It is arguable which method is better.
> The owner of an NFT now has access to the perks of owning that NFT: Access to exlusive discord (training and information, etc), early access to new projects, job opportunities etc

> An NFT can offer a lot of different utility which are only received by proving their ownership of the cryptographic token.

The NFT isn’t offering anything. The business that offers the perks is. If the business changes or goes out of business, the perks disappear.

Not so with your ownership of a house.
