What do you define as a public good? All of these can be done with lower friction when copyright expires. Is that not a public good? Maybe it's a minor public good in your eyes that is outweighed by the benefits to the individual, but it certainly qualifies as something advantageous for the public.

> and it is abandoned, then who's to stop you building on it now?

A copyright troll who just sits on copyrights without doing anything about them. Again maybe you argue that it's their right to do so, which is fine and is argument that perhaps the hit to an individual good is not worth the public good provided, but it's clearly also a public good, however small, to remove that copyright troll.

(Also in the particular case of music there is a very finite cap on the number of copywritable musical phrases, since there are comparatively very few musical phrases that are compatible with Western musical theory and aren't just noise, we're already seeing lawsuits over this. With an infinite copyright system it's very possible that effectively all new music would have to pay royalties within a few decades)

EDIT: To put it another way, freeloading is basically just another way of saying "public good" (a library is allowing patrons to freeload off publishers, a public park is freeloading off property, etc.). It's just one that implicitly prioritizes individual good as well (which is totally fine, the two are often in tension and must be balanced against each other).
A few years ago I experienced an episode of debilitating sinus pain, although generally my breathing was not obstructed. After a year of misery I was referred to some ENT surgeon. 30 seconds into consultation, after glancing at X-rays the doctor started pushing a surgery because, apparently, my mid-nasal cartilage wasn't looking straight enough for him. When I asked if it would help my sinus pain the answer was "maybe, but unlikely", but "just sign here and we'll start preparation for the operation; it is mostly covered by Medicare!". Fair to say, that consultation didn't last too long. I haven't seen any other doctor after, and the pain subsided and was completely gone in 6 months or so.

The only potentially valid point here is hospital overload. Everything else you listed applies to the vaccinated as well.

Let's start by agreeing that hospital overload is definitely a bad thing.

Vaccination should help reduce the load, but has anything else been done? Hasn't staff in hospitals decreased over the course of the pandemic? Aren't we funneling tons of money to pharma instead of Frontline workers? What about setting up field hospitals? What about altering the priority access to emergency health care of the unvaccinated?

Hospital overload has been a liminal crisis for the past 2 years, but has yet to materialize as a real issue.

Have we just been getting lucky? narrowly avoiding disaster each wave?

Because this is almost starting to look like a boogeyman that pops up on a regular basis that reminds us that we need to live in fear.
I mean, it's inefficient as for the 120 seconds you play with it. I don't think it's worth spending more time trying to perfect something like this.

That'd be a fireable offense in many places.

I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated, however in the long run that won't protect the immunocompromised. The virus is so contagious that there will be no significant herd immunity effect. Everyone will be exposed eventually.

I love the call out at the end. I believe much of the post is a slight at Google (and much of big tech), where building complicated crap is one of the fastest ways of promotion. Rachel is completely right, "big tech" has a problem of attracting politician types, who are focused on abusing systems for their own gain. You can hardly blame them though, the company as a whole is doing the same thing.

The incentives are misaligned at pretty much every level.

All the following are still actively using code that I'd more than 20 years old;

Following that German minister's line of thinking that stated "by the end of this winter pretty much everyone in Germany will be vaccinated, recovered or dead" it's a really good news to expend quickly the second category. The sooner everyone will have antibodies, be it from natural immunity or paid one, the sooner society can stop revolving around saving a few months of life of a bunch of elderly at the expense of everything else.

The popularity of Emoji to me is not good for communication.

Instead of careful and clarity in writing, people choose Emoji to respond to what needs to be more clarified.

So, if it's hard to express your thought, let's pick an Emoji!?

At work, this leads to more trouble in writing. Most of JIRA tickets are mostly non-existent that it's badly written, confusing to the developers and rest of the team.

Emoji might be just one reason for that. But anyway, it just shows the trouble on how people have problem in writing communication.

Do people overuse Emoji ? I don't think this is about overuse or not, it's about people failed at expressing their thought through writing.

I come from a very practical engineering math background.

I am really excited about this project because it makes it very clear how everything hangs together in a way that I haven't experienced before. The visual structure of a single definition/theorem/states is very helpful. Also, knowing how many 'levels' from the original concept I'm currently exploring while unpacking and re-packing just helps everything click into place.

Very, very cool.

I didn't have a name I think. Now I wonder from what GUI I got the inspiration. As far as I remember it used the borders of the character set. It was written in Z80 assembly and could be used with | commands (I found | commands amazing in Basic). I was a kid and I had no distribution beside some friends. Only later with the Amiga I got distribution with magazines.
There is a legend that (ABBA) sound engineer Michael B. Tretow used to have a small (and completely illegal) FM transmitter in the studio.

If it still sounded good, fine, else, it was back to the draw... er, mixing board.

You’ll at least be happy to learn that useEffect will be sync if the render itself was sync in React 18. Ofc if you do an async render those effects won’t work anyway and you need to do it in the event handler itself.

First time I've heard of copyright trolls, so it's worth unpacking that..

If you knowingly reuse a work, then I'd argue they are not a troll, they are a copyright holder, so go figure out a license fee.

What about unknowingly using something they claim? That's more subtle, and I buy the argument there. Copyright expiry would help to avoid nonsense claims. But maybe sane courts can adjudicate that - then again Sane Courts (laughing).

But aiming overall copyright expiry to limit nonsense claims, would also prejudice real works that need real protection. So do we lose more than we gain?

So assuming expiring is good - lifetime of author plus a bit?
> I don't think they even tried to read the ISA spec documents. If they did, they would have found that the rationale for most of these decisions is solid: Evidence was considered, all the factors were weighted, and decisions were made accordingly.

Nevertheless, the ISA speaks for itself. The goal of a technical project is to produce a technical artifact, not to generate good feelings having followed a "solid" process.

If the process you followed brought you to this, of what use was the process?

The SEC didn't compare nVidia to Enron, the media did. That was because nVidia was the best performing S&P 500 stock for 2001, a title it took over from Enron. The unwinding of Enron's massive accounting scandal was still hot in the news at the time. It was an obvious comparison to make about another "top performer" having an accounting scandal. However, the "overreaction" by the media and market was not the fault of the SEC.

The punitive remediation for the insider traders was done due to the SEC investigating, which then lead to discovery of the accounting issue. Your characterization that the SEC had a vendetta against nVidia is completely wrong. Maybe nVidia should have had tighter controls on privileged information and better insider trading education for their employees. Maybe they also shouldn't have tried to cook their books to deceive the market. If it really was only a puny $1.7M and didn't really matter, why'd they do it? CORRECTION: $1.7M was profits by the insider traders, nVidia misstated $3.3 million in cost savings.

The consensus from studies is that, while not 100% effective at preventing tranmission, vaccines do reduce the transmission of Covid, even considering Delta (Omnicron is too recent for there to be data, but there's no reason to doubt transmission would also be reduced).
Before dbt, I didn't even really think about structuring how I'd be running my queries. My experience with it has been - it's made it clear to me what has been sub-optimally laid out. Organize my fact tables by subject, adopt a common schema before applying business logic, utilize re-usable views instead of copy-pasting CTEs, etc.

And I like its tight git integration. The alternative, quite often, is a folder of scripts on an analyst's desktop.

This is well-known and one reason some audiofools are rightfully laughed at for not doing when comparing speakers or cables or whatever they want to wax lyrical with flowery descriptions about.

All AB testing of audio equipment should be done with volume matched. Even 0.1dB difference can skew results I believe. Also the switching should be as quick as possible because auditory memory is short.

More bass also corresponds to better reported listening tests.

Harman did a lot of great blind testing on this and came up with preferred frequency response curves and speaker characteristics (smooth directivity rolloff and a target in-room response).
You want honesty, but what is the cost of that? Would that make things better or worse? Is honesty for honesty’s sake valuable? To put it in another way, how many people would be saved or how many would die just because we want honesty?

To clarify what I’m saying, if you’re honest with the public and say, we’re doing this but we aren’t sure if it actually works. Will that help? Or just freak people out, making any later, hopefully more helpful, attempt at establishing policy less effective, hence more people dead.

Just some thoughts. I don’t want to be lied to, I want my rights respected, and I want authorities to be as transparent as possible, but these are some of the issues I can imagine exist when I put myself in their shoes.
Emacs really is an automation tool for text buffers/palette, the fact that code is text too is just incidental. Other wise the kind of tasks emacs is better suited for is changing text programmatically.

While Emacs doesn't have intelligent code awareness out of the box the way vscode does, its powers lie in providing out of the box commands to easily manipulate text.

To truly harness the power of emacs one has to get good good at thinking in terms of text. I tried org-mode but eventually realized emacs is actually restrictive when compared to using plain pen and paper.

Emacs definitely has its use cases, and is really in some way the original Perl. Or at least the Perl equivalent of a text buffer.

For comfort you do not want to be looking substantially upward or tilting your head back. It’s much better for your eyes to put the display lower and look down (by swiveling your eyes, not your whole head) for the bottom part instead.

For typing it works well with a large display to put the bottom of the display barely above the desk, push it back as far as you can (constrained by your workspace) and tilt it backwards near the top, and position the desk/chair so that the desktop is at roughly waist height (let your upper arms dangle loosely at your sides with your elbows close to the body and bent about 90°, keep your wrists straight, and position your fingertips at the tops of the keys of a keyboard resting on the desk).

I have a 27" display ("5K") and the top ends up just slightly below eye level. If you have a 40" display or something the top will probably end up a bit above eye level.
That would work, too. It would be very expensive at scale and would be difficult to keep tail latencies down. Which might be ok for some cases, but wasn't for mine.

My very first job out of school was in a local company writing enterprise software and I hated it, lasted only a few months. Then I enlisted in a uni research project to build a Cubesat as a systems engineer, and after a couple of years I moved to the agency.

I haven't seen many career hoppers, but I'd say it's doable. I would try to enter through the ground software path: mission control systems or simulators. Those employ more "pure" software people.

From there it's a matter of being in touch with the embedded guys and show that you can do it. Simulators are great for that; they're basically a piece of software that emulates the onboard processor and simulates all the other sensors and actuators so operators can train and validate the on-board software. You have to be in touch with the onboard software developers, because there are always lots of kinks to iron out (e.g. I once had to fix a bug that a compiler optimization introduced, making magnetorquers always "max out" on actuation).

If you're in trading, I assume you're proficient in C++? If so, that's a great asset already.

About Rust: I love Rust and I use it in my embedded work now. I think it would be very beneficial for space applications. That said, there is a long way until it's accepted in the space industry. Ferrous Systems[1] is working on it, but it will take a long time; it's a slow industry. Perhaps it will start being accepted by the end of the decade.

Another idea for a side project: amateur rocketry!

> The compressed encoding has good code density, but low speed.

That's 100% nonsense. They have the same performance and in fact, some pipelines can get better performance because they fetch a fixed number of bytes and with compressed instructions, that means more instructions fetched.

The rest of the argument falls apart resting on this fallacy.
