This can work, if there's a sales team attached to the company that actually goes out and sells the idea of paying money to the open source project. For a maintainer to do an SDR and a salesperson job is just not sustainable - they are not good at it and it will take them a lot of time that they can spend writing code.

Instead, you could set up a structure where open source authors set up an LLC, and then get a salesperson hired on a revenue-based retainer. The salesperson then actually goes out and talks about "supply chain attacks" and "open source sustainability" to the target companies and tries to close deals with them. Maybe they can even work on stuff like "vendor approval assessment" and other paperwork. Maybe the salesperson hires more people that actually do the paperwork and sales development, and the salesperson themselves only does the closing. That way, the maintainer continues to write code and now it's a salesperson who actually brings in the revenue.

You can even set up a marketplace startup which caters to this whole workflow. 2 user types: open source authors and salespeople. Open source authors can create an LLC with a click (integrate with Stripe Atlas?), then they go into 'Call-for-salesperson' directory, put out a listing saying we're so-and-so open source project with 10k stars on GitHub, come represent us. Then on the supply side, a salesperson sees the listing, writes up a proposal which might include a percentage fee they'll receive from the sales (say 25%). After receiving a few offers, open source author can choose who to go with. Maybe if it doesn't quite work out with this salesperson, they go back and re-list.

Just a quick idea on how this can be solved with a marketplace model. Everyone in this structure is happy: open source authors get money, salespeople get their percentage fee, corporations get sustainable open source projects.
add-opens was only required starting in 17, and modules, whose encapsulation wasn't even on by default until JDK 16, had little if anything to do with the migration issues from 8 to 9. They just happened to be 9's most famous feature, so they got the blame. Nearly all migration issues were due to libraries bypassing the Java spec in 8 and relying on internal implementation details, essentially becoming intentionally non-portable. Some of them had a good reason to do so, but nevertheless, that's what happened. Java 9 was one of the biggest Java releases ever, internal implementation details changed all over the JDK, so many libraries that had become tied to 8 broke. Now upgrading is no longer too big a deal because all popular libraries have long been fixed.

Modules, however, are related to those issues in that now when their encapsulation has finally been turned on (in 16 and 17), they will do their job of preventing this problem of bypassing the spec from recurring (the application is able to grant internal access to a library, but at least it knows there might be a potential maintenance and/or security issue to keep an eye on when it does).
> Now, if you answered that, I ask you: why do you keep doing that?

Because: money.

Solving the SF homeless problems takes cash. 15% of the homeless have traumatic brain injury. Many more have other debilitating health problems. This means funding long term health care facilities--doctors, nurses, equipment, medicine--in cash. Not some "value of your home"--real taxes out of your pocket.

At about $100K per year per patient and about 6000 patients--we're talking $600 million minimum. And long term medical care facilities at that funding level are regularly rated as unacceptable (the "solution" to the poor facilities in California was to simply close them and kick everybody out on to the street which is part of what caused this whole mess in the first place).

Or you can do what everybody is implying with these articles: put all the visible homeless in prison where they won't disturb the property values. This, of course, neatly ignores the fact that the current "rash of property crimes" are mostly perpetrated by gangs and not the homeless.
That's really interesting. In Greece Carolina (Καρολίνα) is the name of a type of rice, but I had never realised it's named after a brand as there's no Carolina brand in the Greek market.
The official advice in the first warning:

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

To repeat, a tornado is on the ground. TAKE COVER NOW! Move to a
basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy
building. Avoid windows. If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in
a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect
yourself from flying debris.

https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/vtec/#2021-O-NEW-KLSX-TO-W...

If you are in a reasonable building (such as a typical home) when a tornado warning is issued, do not seek alternative shelter. Seek the most secure area of the building you are already in.

You can search all the warnings/watches here: https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/vtec/search.php#byugc/MOC1...

I will note that the watch (which proceeded the warning) suggested to precautionary action.

The facts we have are:

Amazon kept a warehouse open and operational, including bringing a new shift in, during a Tornado watch for the area. (this is in the article)

edit r.e. this point: other commenters have noted that while the circumstances for a tornado arising are known in advance, the tornado appears quickly enough that realistically the only option if workers are in the building at that point is to move them to a designated area of the building that's more protected. There isn't any evidence of this happening from what I have seen from the media or Amazon.

Amazon workers are penalized heavily for being late or missing shifts and the systems for calling out can be unreliable or your request can be rejected outright. Workers are also heavily penalized for Time-Off-Task and its unclear that the policy or tracking software acknowledges seeking shelter during a tornado warning as not TOT. [1][2][hundreds of anecdotal accounts across the internet]

Amazon has not released any evidence that they informed workers there wouldn't be a penalty for a no show despite having made public statements about the incident, nor have any workers who survived attested to that. (Impossible to provide a source for a lack of evidence).

and for opinion:

Even if Amazon had told workers they were free not to come in, I believe it is the responsibility of Amazon to determine the safety of their building relative to the inclement weather which they have clearly failed to do.

What else is there left unanswered about the situation, in your view?

It sounds like the ideal world would be for users to be able to set certain filters on their ads rather than relying on the good intentions of the companies presenting the ads. I'm not sure exactly what this would look like in practice, though.
To be honest, if I'm going to see ads anyway, I rather them at least try to be relevant and not random. However, the current situation is out of balance. If my browser is loading an insane amount of tracking networks and my memory/cpu keeps climbing up because of that, and the page requires an epilepsy warning - that is wrong. There has to be a reality where ads support free services and content and not the other way around.

If you want to help someone, give them cash. A blank check. Not "here's what I think would be helpful and now you should arrange to use it". Not a week at a penthouse, not a butler, not a private jet. Enough cash to pay for those things if they want them.
It seems like you haven’t quite got the concept of capitalism and how humans and markets actually work. If you give away your work for $0 then the value of your work is $0. Yes a tiny minority may want to pay more than that to make themselves feel morally superior or to virtue signal their goodness. But most won’t. Accept it and act accordingly: make companies pay to use your work and sue the companies that fail to comply with the licence conditions. It isn’t rocket science.
Right, I was also confused by the blame on backward compatibility. You can keep things backward compatible without necessarily making it on by default. There is no reason why `formatMsgNoLookups` should the default. If it is indeed an obscure and hacky feature for backward compatibility, just make it opt-in. People who really care about it will enable it, most people won't have to carry that baggage and we wouldn't be in a situation like this.
Yeah, except by creating such an obligation, you are essentially throwing out the core concept of something being open source or free software. That's not solving the problem, that's more like giving up on it.
Except for proprietary extensions, I don't think it will be very different of the x86 world where processors can have a different number of cores, HT, MMX, 3dNow!, SSE(1,2,3,4...), AMX...

Indian language / multiculturalism is exactly the basketcase PRC wants to avoid.

>an educated Indian is often trilingual in English, Hindi, and their local language

An uneducated Chinese is still going to be fluent in mandarin going forward, the national language. 50% of Indian youth are bilingual 20% are trilingual. That's a lingua franca failure.
“In Case I Don’t Write Here Again”
I think they might of skipped a level and thus caused confusion. You control a bike/motorcycle by adjusting its bank angle. To turn towards the left you bank towards the left. To bank towards the left you push on the left handlebar. Once you are banking you need to apply pressure to the right handlebar to prevent over banking. After that you apply pressure as required on both the right and left handlebars as required to maintain the desired bank angle. There is no direct mapping between the direction of turn and the side of the handlebar you apply pressure to.

If you go to the trouble to tell someone how to start a turn you should then go on and tell them how to maintain that turn.
Questioning the validity of an election would not be an example.

It’s even worse than that. If you support all LTS/current Node versions—as is, and should be, very common for libraries—it'll break even on a single platform. I’m sure it’s solvable, but the solution would be so complex it’s tantamount to building a new package manager.
I'm generally curious how things I interact with work I guess, and it's quite obvious that riding a bike relies on balance, and this is just really balance.
This file seems to be controlling what gets ("checked-in") - https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:thi...

In our industry (games) we often do that - checkin prebuilt code in the depots (typically "p4"). I'm not saying it's wrong/right, it's just what we do (not 100% fully, but almost, though people in IT/infra tend to do otherwise).
So it's all glass houses?
> When there's tornadoes about, the first thing companies should tell their workers is 'Find somewhere safe to shelter, don't worry about the job or reducing damage to the company.

I worked in the Midwest for a number of years. Every time there was a tornado siren, an attempt would be made to alert everyone in the building. We were to go to the shelter in the basement and/or 1st floor.

Only a minority would actually get up and move there. Worse, many would go to wall size windows to see the storm outside. There's no way security can force the majority of workers to move. All they can do is walk around and warn. Did people not go because they were worried about productivity dropping? No! They didn't go because they hear these sirens often enough (a few times every summer) and simply ignored them, because the odds of getting hurt appear low.[1]

So to me, reading people imply that they got killed because of capitalism is ludicrous. Simpler explanations exist.

Also, tornado shelters are not perfect.

Also, tornado shelters at work locations often are safer than ones at home. I know when I lived there, I always preferred to be in the office when a tornado siren hit. My home didn't have a basement, and you're not supposed to be in any room that has a window. That meant I should be either in the kitchen or the bathroom. At least the shelter at work was much bigger - you could walk around, etc.

[1] For that city, a tornado touches down there once every twenty years, and even that will be in a limited part of town. Not saying this is a good rationale, but humans will be humans.
Obviously you shouldn't go three years without security patches. But it's perfectly reasonable to not update to a new major version for three years.
Judging from the chef's response -- linked twice in the comments on the OP -- they're quite serious; the chef regards himself as an avant-garde artist.

As to how they got, not one but IIRC three, Michelin stars I can only speculate:

* They got them a while ago, and weren't quite as avant-garde back then. (In order to stay avant-garde, you have to get constantly more outré?)

* The menu fluctuates depending on availability of ingredients and the chef's mood; the Michelin reviewers just got lucky and arrived on a better day.
They're also windup, so even if your power's out for 10 days, they'll still work.
Most risc-v cpus stick to the standards, so I'm not worried.
You are absolutely right. The naivety of most open source developers when it comes to understanding how people/companies/markets work is jaw dropping. If you ask people to pay $0 for your work then that is exactly what they will pay. Wishing for things to be different is a waste of time. Accept how the world works and act accordingly.

> Operating procedure at a former workplace in Texas was that during a Tornado Warning sheltering in a designated tornado shelter was mandatory.

See my comment here:

It was mandatory where I worked too. That most people didn't seek shelter was not a fault of the employer.
(And there's no way to get ECC memory with decent timings because DDR4 is binned to death, so even if you found some hypothetical Samsung B-die ECC SKUs they'd be like 2333 or 2666 MHz and you'll never get them to work at 3200 or 3600 with timings better than 80-80-80-10000 or so. Meanwhile 3200CL14 or 3600CL16 is pretty usual without ECC.

edit: On a second look, Mushkin will actually sell you 3200 CL14 ECC memory... 14-18-18-38 that is. At almost 10 quid on the gigabyte. Meanwhile you can get real CL14 non-ECC memory at around half that.

> I imagine if nuclear armageddon ever happens, it'll be similar

In that case, I think any of us would be lucky to get a warning at all.
several people on this thread are asking for "evidence" for claims. but here's the more interesting question: why is an amazon warehouse open when a tornado warning was in effect? was it to shelter people? and if not, why was it open?

Indeed. I think the actual entity to be scorned here is NPR, not the laureates. They seem to be twisting the meaning of the speech to promote some other agenda, and in one case outright fabricating the connection.
It is not a problem. It just is how humans function. So act accordingly. Trying to change how humans work is a waste of times. You are fighting millions of years of evolution. Good luck with that. Try not to be bitter when you fail.
You wrote:

This is false. From the article that you linked:

Companies use Leetcode because it tests for the 2 things that are required to become a successful developer, above average critical thinking skills and willingness to spend hundreds of hours improving. Companies figure if you have those two things they can make you into a decent developer, figuring out if someone is already a good developer is much harder.
Do you have evidence to support these theories?

Sadly, the preponderance of evidence -- specifically the timing of the numerous severe tornado warnings in the region, starting as early as 4 hours earlier -- and the company's unfortunate track record during other severe weather events (such as Hurricane Ida) -- does suggest there is a significant chance Amazon was too slow to warn its employees of the impending danger as this particular calamity was unfolding.

More investigation will be needed of course -- but the initial indications do appear to be quite disturbing.
That is also my response to fire alarms so sensitive that they'll start to chirp when I can't even recognize the smell of a neighbor 50+ ft away smoking outside. It'd be really nice if no one smoked and if these alarms reserved the shrill noises for real emergencies and user initiated tests only.
With OpenJDK, do companies still license Java?
That seems to completely vindicate the notion that "Apple is lobbying against a bill aimed at stopping forced labor in China".

It doesn't imply the proposed law is well written, or even likely to achieve its stated goals. Just that Apple is lobbying against such a law.

A reinforced concrete should've been easily capable of withstanding a hurricane.

First thing I see is that roof was not attached to anything reinforcing in the wall, or columns.

It seems it solely relied on its weight, which was easily overwhelmed by wind, to keep it in place.

I haven’t read the archeologist’s work. I did read the article. The archeologist claims that evidence across the Aegean and Athens particularly shows weak babies were cared for until death. That’s fine. However we’re not discussing Athenian nor general Aegean baby care. We’re discussing Spartan care. Nothing in the article (and I could have missed it) proved evidence, from digs, against the idea of infanticide by the Spartans.
