It might look like there is a choice, but there is one good option and many bad ones.

As long as english stays lingua franca, it will be the default language of every specs, docs and tool that matter. Even if development happens outside of anglosphere - nobody wants to get locked out of international community. There is just no getting away from this, unless Yellowstone eruption erases most of US and China gets to be a world leader.

> Not everyone is going to be collaborating with foreigners

Sure, someone can work for a pittance on an internal market. Handicapping you career like this is an example of a bad choice that I'm talking about. You wouldn't even be able to get a job in any decent company without going through an english language test first. This isn't obvious only if you yourself live in US and naively think that every other country is equally ripe with opportunity.
logs, traces and profiling were all viable parts of a good monitoring stack even prior to the term observability being coined.

If you don’t use ungoogled-chromium, you’re presumably not downloading and running community-provided non-reproducible binary blobs of ungoogled-chromium, so you don’t need to learn to compile them from source instead. That’s what the comment was about.
A toy project I have in mind is bootstrapping a lisp in asm and then using lisp macros as assembler macros to build up a high level language that would effectively be native code.
This is a mix of Bitcoin denialism and climate religion.

1) Bitcoin mining is increasingly migrating to hydro and geothermal, because fossil fuels are too expensive in comparison. Presumably, nuclear will come eventually.

2) See what I did there in my first sentence? We should have an intellectually hygenic discussion; there is no valid place for the kind of rhetoric you're employing.
Things have to be done quite well on this area, little error margin
I don't like the idea that self-driving cars were in use, and suddenly became compromised, but only because people could die as a result. Other than that, I can't think of a situation where I would be upset if computer vision was considered too unreliable to be misused by governments or abused by advertisers, which is how it'll go otherwise.
Given the rapid drop in green hydrogen costs, this argument is itself becoming outdated. We will just switch green sources of ammonia and there will be minimal if not nonexistent increases in cost.
Why does VLC Player getting used for porn and videos eliminate it? You mean you want to watch porn and listen to music at the same time and dont want to launch multiple instances?
And whatever those failure modes are, they better be good, because in 20 years those vehicles will be on the road in some state without regular inspections, driven by someone without the money to pay for OEM electrical repairs.
Google can easily prove they were evil even at the time they first deployed that corporate motto.

It's interesting to me that we fell for this at the time. I mean if someone says to you at a party "I'm a nice guy" well it's obvious they're a bloody monster...but a corporation doing the same thing and early noughties me is like "well that sounds nice".
Does anyone remember Ketman (1997)? A combination assembler interpreter & tutor for MSDOS. That was the first time I saw a REPL for assembly language.

That is for high school students, at that point the ceiling is too low to notice any talents. Getting good grades in high school has more to do with consistency than anything else. They talked about university students, but excluded them from the study for a variety of reasons, so it is just for high school students and subjects.
Also, 'professional' editors are, at most, just people who've attended a one-year degree program. (And probably not one that's anywhere as thorough as you'd imagine.) A friend of mine attended, and passed, such a degree program, from a respected university; they learned basically nothing from it.

And the piece of paper did nothing to help them become an editor, either; people seem to do just as well getting editing gigs with no degree at all. Which means, more than likely, no particular education in editing at all!
Why don't we just relay on the price energy to allocate its use kind of like we do with almost everything else? That's the point of prices. If energy is not priced correctly then the government should adjust the price through a tax. But let's drop the morality shtick every time cryptocurrencies come up.
Has Vizios software gotten any better? I had a 2019 model and the software (had mine offline/neutered too) was too shitty to even use it as a dumb TV. For example it would randomly reboot while we were watching something via the HDMI input or it almost always took multiple restarts to properly recognize the Vizio sound bar...
Perhaps out of scope for your use case, but what’s the status of SEO support? Using frontmatter to generate basic meta tags, twitter/open graph for pretty links, etc.

FTA:

>"There are all sorts of contract terms that a jury is required to interpret: 'don't be evil' is not so 'out there' as to be unenforceable," she said. "Since Google's contract tells employees that they can be fired for failing to abide by the motto, 'don't be evil,' it must have meaning."
This is what happens when people are radicalized by their feelings. I'm confident that their hearts are in the right place, but give me a break. If you work at Google, you should have the sense that this kind of flimsy case is going nowhere at all.

>But the plaintiffs' lawyer, Laurie Burgess, said it is not beyond what courts regularly must decide.

Sounds like the lawyer is taking them for a ride on their dime, imo.
I'd rather use a Google product than a Brendan Eich one.
I wouldn’t call this “free for open-source development”. It’s free for open-source development as long as the developer receives no money. This would literally be stricter than Visual Studio Community except that last I checked the latter refused to work without an online account for more than a month.

Needless to say, JetBrains are free to license and price their stuff however they want. But omitting this particular caveat to “free for open source” when important community-led projects regularly struggle to support themselves leaves a bad taste in my mouth. (The same kind of condition was, for example, used to chase curl off the free tier of Travis CI[1].) To their partial credit, JetBrains themselves only make this omission in the first sentence on the linked page and add “non-commercial” in the second.

So I can live in lower cost of living country, invest most of my income and retire as early as possible. I know it won't be easy but some people did it, I want to try. If I fail I can always go back to something like my old job.
So they cut through stone in order to accommodate the sh*t-stick? :D
It’s actually worth to RTFA, since it gives additional context of employment contracts, activism and firing.
When I visited Iceland, it seemed commonplace to flash your highbeams at the person in front of you if you intend to pass. It becomes the person in front's burden to signal a clear, safe pass. Kind of strange, and I can't imagine this system ever working in the USA. People can't even handle motorcycles lane splitting out of a "they're cutting in line" mentality.
Naturally we don't see anything of the actual evil Google participates in (manipulating search results in order to remake man in their image/steer attention away from counter narrative content, firing people for political reasons, assisting China's totalitarian efforts,...) , just leftist whining about how they commited the sin of working with the government of the country to protect its borders. Because you know, national borders (certainly not state lines) are totally arbitrary and racist and people should be free to go anywhere they like without impingement or something.

It wouldn't be published by NPR otherwise.
To be fair, that's true of any collateral. Housing markets can crash, countries can have hyperinflation, diamonds could flood the market, etc. Gold's sorta safe, unless we find a huge new source, or people stop caring about it beyond its manufacturing uses.

But yeah, crypto collateral for crypto is a bit of an "if we die, we die together" decision.
Yes, indeed. I can attest to the fact that this video is quite popular in the "Unintentional ASMR" sub-genre.
Over last couple of years Zendesk have been engaging in t+c creep that has resulted in cost gouging to retain similar services for my use case (quite small team issues tracking).

Big cost gouging, or loss of features, like 10x.

I tried discussing with them, they don't care, I don't trust them.
> If Google was able to fire workers for being evil, I think these employees have a case for the reverse as well.

The reverse here is that the employees are allowed to quit. Google isn't trying to sue any employees for "being evil".
On the other hand, I seem to recall reports of noblemen being shot in their arse by the would-be assailants while in the privvy, because it was exposed.
I think type of corporate reorganising was just an attempt to avoid the business from being broken up in an antitrust suit.

This notion is offensive to some men, including myself, because along all this seemingly good natured talk often comes a negation of how the majority of men actually feel and express their feelings and a redefinition of their masculine identity as toxic. And there is some hypocrisy in claiming to be welcoming and accepting of men while insisting they express their emotions in a more traditionally feminine way.

In my experience, the majority of men behave naturally in a traditionally masculine way and are comfortable expressing themselves this way. It doesn't mean they are any less emotionally complex than women or emotionally stunted.

Emotionally expressive and occasionally vulnerable men is what women have always asked for. If we're going to worry about men and their emotions then let's make sure we actually do it for the sake of men, in a way that is adapted to the way men feel and express themselves.
The judge should quote Eliphas Levi on what evil is. IIRC, Levi argues that evil is about abandoning reason, for reason is what makes us different from animals.
Reminds me of the JSLint case, where the author said "this software can't be used for evil", and then a bunch of lawyers from IBM couldn't figure out what "evil" meant and demanded a change in the license.
Congratulations on the launch.
You don't need theology to define evil, dictionary.com defines it as "morally wrong or bad".
It's taking a bunch of cells that are not a clone of itself and sticking them together to create a clone of itself. Has this been done before outside of natural reproduction?
Not only froze my entire browser (ALL firefox tabs, including youtube playing in another window), but it locked up my entire system for a few seconds, I couldn't alt-tab or anything.

That's... almost impressive in how bad that is. I didn't know a website COULD lock up an entire system in this day and age.
Plex, if you have a spare machine to run it on. Free if the household share a username/password.
That doesn't mean that the meaning can be determined by a court. It can't.
The "founders" were not a monolithic entity with a single opinion. The history of the Bill of Rights makes it quite clear that there were many founders in favor of those amendments.

The Constitution was ratified in June of 1788. The 1st Congress convened in March of 1789, and the Bill of Rights was introduced in June of 1789. I think it is quite reasonable to consider the Constitution and the subsequent Bill of Rights as part of the foundational principles of the nation.

> jet brains is a massive offender here. it doesn't need to be. I have a giant machine ~128GB of RAM and 24 cores. the fact I have to tune my IDE is insane.

You are doing something very wrong if that's the case. I have 2 big projects open in my IDE (GoLand), it has not been closed since Nov 16 and as I type this it is using ~3.8 GB of RAM and ~3% CPU on my work 2019 Mac Book

My personal travel laptop is ~2014 era thinkpad T430, an outdated machine and it has never once hiccuped while running the IDE.

This is almost certainly a "you not JetBrains" problem.
They didn't indeed. And you know why? There was a big discussion, between the fraction that said you have to spell out the most important rights so that nobody would think that it's ok to violate them, and the one that said "we already said the government has this set of very restricted functions, if we start spelling out the specific rights, people would think these are the only rights that should be protected, and others are not important and the government is OK to expand their function and violate those rights, just because we didn't include them in the list! We can't have that!" After a while, it ended up looking like it does now.

Of course, both of them turned out to be wrong. Not only people think that rights that are not explicitly enumerated do not deserve protection, not only the idea of limited government bound by constitutional limits is completely dead and buried, now people think that explicitly named rights too can be violated at will. Maybe because they have been spelled out a bit later, so they can't be that important. After all, First Amendment isn't something that's very important, that's why they made it the first one. Like the trial one, we'll do some silly stuff first, to warm up, and then we'll get to really important things.
In a world without gender roles, men (and women and non-binary folks) would be valued just for being human. That is, everyone has value, even if they don't provide "value" (which is subjective and changing anyway) to others.
Did you have more than $500K profits at year before selling? What it was the sold EBITDA multiplier?
disclaimer, I'm not an expert or a scholar, I just saw the effect that our society has and I'm trying to understand.

Things are complicated but: men are in charge "correct" definition (I think), superior to women is just the justification it gives for the subjugation of women.

The thing is, not all men are in charge (nor they can be), and all men are the same, so the hierarchy cannot be 2 levels: are you not interested in the ball games? down a notch; don't care to prevaricate anybody for your success? down a notch; wanna talk about feelings? and so on. (oh, bonus: like male supremacy, white supremacy is the justification for keeping non-whites down a few notches).

I'd say it's crystal clear that the patriarchy generates a system of oppression, and men are oppressed in it as well (strict definition of what makes you a real, worthy man) (amounts of oppression may vary, men on average experience less oppression than women, ask your doctor..ahem).
> The age of the rich celebrity authors like Isaac Asimov or Ernest Hemingway ended decades ago

J. K. Rowling and George R. R. Martin are two well-known counterexamples. You'll likely counter that much of their wealth came from movies and TV, and while that's partly true, they only got those deals due to the success of their books.

I agree that aspects of traditional copyright law don't mesh well with modern technology, and that academic/scientific publishers are parasites, but I'm not convinced the concept has outlived its usefulness.
Thank you for writing about these issues from a perspective of affirmation and togetherness rather than negativity. Too many men try to make the issues about blaming some other group or other negative things which just harms ourselves. We need to be able to both separate our issues between different groups and be able to also understand how those issues are correlated (I believe that is the basis for intersectionality).
The judge would say "what laws were specifically broken?" Then toss it out when the plaintiffs come up empty handed. If the case somehow did get through, they would have to justify how their own repeated violations of Google's data security policies, which led to their terminations, would put them in the right. They would have a hard time of showing that they themselves are clean of evil.
The idea is that the people who are in charge are men, not that men in the general case are in charge.
Evil is a personal concept, nobody thinks they themselves are evil outside of a few extremely rare exceptions that mostly involve severe mental illness. Good and evil would appear meaningless and arbitrary to a alien, a strange custom invented by a primitive people.

I thought they were fired for somehow getting chrome to pop-up notices when visiting the website of a google contractor that was anti-union.

I mean, I like the effort, but... it's unlikely that an employer is going to want to pay employees to do things they don't want to have done?

"Her suspension began just three hours after she published a piece of code that created a pop-up notification when Google employees visited the website of IRI Consultants"

I'm curious how one even gets chrome to monitor and pop up a notice when google folks visit a website. If it was some kind of ad that seems OK. If she used google's infrastructure to push a popup to all google employees... do other businesses permit this? Can a chase employee push something to all chase.com users alerting them to something they care about?
Relation: The JSLint license has a clause stating that it shall not be used for evil. IBM has obtained a license to be able to use JSLint for evil, presumably to avoid this type of suit: https://youtu.be/-C-JoyNuQJs?t=41m20s
It's a contract matter, they promised they wouldn't be.
There are a couple things that the author misses about externally collateralized stablecoins and their ability to dictate or veto hard forks.

First the stable coin issuers would would have to collude with each other to have any chance of success. Just because Circle would want to go a certain direction doesn't mean that Gemini or Tether would also.

Second any fork from a stablecoin issuer would be inherently hostile, and the legitimacy of the resulting chain that they dictated would suffer. Users of the tokens on the 'blessed' chain could easily cause a run on token.

Between these factors, a centralized stablecoin issuer taking control over a chain like this would result in close to mutually assured destruction. Yes, many (but not all) defi applications in the original chain would be severely impacted, but the forked chain would have no legitimacy with users either and they would be quick to dump the issuer's stable coins as quick as possible.

The Steem/Hive fork following Justin Sun's attempted takeover is quite instructive on what can happen when a hostile takeover of a chain occurs.
Only works in pitch black though.
A short story about font outlines (2014)
The price of a currency is completely relative to what you're measuring it against.

The US dollar has recently been experiencing a massive price pump priced in Turkish Lira. Does that make the dollar a bad currency? https://www.investing.com/currencies/usd-try

Your currency experiencing a price pump just means it's been collectively deemed to be stronger and safer than other currencies and undergoing a re-valuation. It literally happens to all currencies on the planet all the time.
I have thought about this approach (or finding a part time job), but it really depends on finding the right job to allow it. So still pending for now. Thanks mate.
We might get a Linux Winamp? Either way, the thing that I liked the most about Winamp (besides mp3 player) was being able to fit winamp in the title bar of my current window (always-on-top).
It's a permissioned system, so there is a cartel like group who decides who can do what. It's very similar to what we have today. It's also not like anyone can add code to Bitcoin, so there are permissioned parts of the system.
Good article. A few key points:

Proof of stake:

"Proof-of-work is fundamentally very simple, is easy to analyze, is easy to implement and deploy, and proof-of-stake has a lot of moving parts. You can code up a proof-of-work algorithm in a hundred lines [of code] or so. Our current (Ethereum) clients are a hundred thousand lines or so for proof-of-stake."

What could possibly go wrong? Remember the DAO hack. The author also points out that proof of stake makes it much easier to change the rules for a token. He considers proof of stake coins to be a different asset class because of that.

NFTs:

A key problem is that these types of NFT sets are pretty easy to manipulate ...

The first scam is to bid up asset prices and trick buyers into thinking those prices are real and to buy into it. It’s market manipulation, in other words. For example, a user can set up five different Ethereum addresses, and start trading around an NFT to themselves at increasingly higher prices. Outside observers don’t know that all these wallets belong to the same person and that this is literally just insider trading. This is only possible with a non-fungible asset; you can’t manipulate the price of an individual bitcoin or an individual ether on your own, you can only manipulate unique objects like for example CryptoPunk #9998. Then, with prices (seemingly) so high, some people want to get in on the momentum and buy the NFT, so the person who was trading among their own wallets finally sells the asset at a higher price to that unsuspecting newcomer. When that newcomer tries to sell the asset, he or she is unable to find other buyers who actually want to pay that price. They don’t realize that a lot of the liquidity and price-escalating transactions were actually just manipulation.

Yes. We know now that the famous Beeple sale was faked like that. Go over to OpenSea and look at some of the high-priced items. Then look at the bid prices on them. As I pointed out previously, this is exactly like Beanie Babies on eBay - asking US$5000, actual sales around US$50. The result is a stalled market, rather than a crash - lots of asks, few bids, orders of magnitude bid-asked spreads, few transactions.

Stablecoins:

"any smart contract blockchain that relies heavily on DeFi for its use case, can have the outcome of its hard forks significantly determined by centralized stablecoin custodians. These custodians can nullify the value of all stablecoins on whichever side of the fork they don’t view as the correct one, which severely reduces the survivability of that side of the blockchain by rendering its DeFi mostly insolvent."

Custodians. Like Tether/Binance. Those guys.
> The toga thing has been addressed by others as our cultural mores being projected on people with different values...

It's not about projecting cultural values. It's about a supposedly trustworthy publication that published rubbish. The author of the article doesn't know basic things about the life of the people they are discussing.
