My metaphor is not to pointing to project management as an analogy, it's pointing to how criticism of one side does not automatically mean support for the other side. Unless I've misunderstood your point?
Greenpeace had claimed that they tried to offer Vattenfall to buy their coal mines in Eastern Germany to shut them down (they were later sold to czeck company EPH), but it's a bit unclear how serious that offer was:
https://www.fr.de/wirtschaft/greenpeace-bietet-kohle-tagebau...

Though maybe that's also a cautionary tale. Back when that happened (2015) the political discussion around coal in Germany was that a coal exit wasn't really part of the discussion and local politicians would say things like coal will be mined until the 2040s. Since then the debate has moved to "Coal exit in 2038", and more recently to "Coal exit very likely in 2030".

What I'm trying to say: Even if you're successful with such a project, it's not exactly clear how much you gain. The political discourse on climate is moving fast (though still not fast enough).
Sorbet[0] is probably the closest to what you're looking for. It's not something I would recommend to someone who wants to get started with Ruby, since it would be limiting to learn it as if it was a statically typed language.

If you don't have anything well-considered to say about an event on HN, the best thing to do is not to say anything at all. Believe it or not, your personal distrust of a giant company isn't all that interesting to the rest of HN.

How is this in any way related to the comment you are replying to? It seems like you misunderstood.
So people would only go to a stand if there's nobody being served, because being behind the person currently being served is discouraged. Essentially, you'd just move the queue: people would wait for a "spot" to open up (a stand with no customer) and then go there.

If it's orderly, they kind of queue in the middle. If it's not, you'll have a large brawl as people try to get in front of each other.
Which text to speech engine are you using, if I may ask?
Thanks for explaining. Out of curiosity, does Microsoft have any external-facing GPL-licensed projects? Are there any restrictions to using (i.e. open sourcing something developed internally or forking something from outside MS) GPL-licensed projects? Specifically, would teams be able to get approval to fork GPL repos?
what surprises me the most about Microsoft related hate is that, despite the fact that they had (still have pretty much) control over the OS market they never locked their system down or charged people in any capacity.

People take it for granted that you can just run what you want on your windows machine but they could have turned it into smartphone style locked down system. Imagine if every app developer in history had to fork 15-30% of their sales over to Microsoft just for building on Windows, they could have made a trillion bucks or something.
That may very well be true for NZ.

I am more familiar with how these schemes work in the US, Canada and UK. At least in the US the scheme is particularly egregious since investing in real estate counts. https://www.mgac.com/blog/eb-5-real-estate-financing-trends-...
That analogy only works for a small part, the light would not do damage if it didn't fall on the film or sensors directly or through reflection, whereas with IR it doesn't really matter where it falls on the telescope it will cause the whole thing to warm up and the rejection mechanisms can only cope with so much of it.

I was talking not only about this specific instance of it happening, but Microsoft had similar mistakes throughout the past 6 months. Here's the one from CUPS, a Linux printing library:

https://github.com/microsoft/cups/commit/ad69bcc78bdea3fea3f...

It used to be Apache License, then it became "MIT License (c) Microsoft Corporation". Thanks to the attention that this thread got, it has now been fixed:

https://github.com/microsoft/cups/commit/3859d70160010c61fd7...

But that source code was online with the wrong license for more than 6 months. Imagine if you had hosted Windows source code with a misattributed MIT license for 6 months... They would also bring out the pitchforks ;) Or even worse: well-paid lawyers.
This occurred over the last 5-7 years but several events this year refocused it anew. My father was very tough. The details are not important.

However, I think I finally recognized the places and modalities where that toughness is a benefit. Several times I've said to myself: thank God my father raised me.

The movie (Long hot summer)

My hometown had 300 BBSes that I wrote a set of expect-like automation scripts in {COMMO} to dial in, download a ZIP of any new DMs and forum posts, and then log off and rotate on to the next one. When the number was busy, the dialer would move to the next, and when it connected successfully, the dialed would mark it completed until I clear them.
I love talking, so started my own podcast in my native language (Telugu). Always wanted to talk on stage or do stream on YouTube but never was confident but with podcast I can speak anything I want and don’t worry about anyone judging me.

Most risk is manageable, tail risk is unavoidable. You can do everything right and still have a government put you out of business or have the market move against you in a way you couldn’t have predicted.

With that said, the theory is sound based on existing economic conditions. 75% of coal generators in the US and roughly 45% globally operate unprofitably, for example (per Bloomberg NEF).

Bismark was not meaningfully bigger than HMS Hood. According to wikipedia, Bismark had a full load displacement of 50300 tons vs 47430 tons for Hood. Both ships had eight 15 inch guns.
I don't know whether this belongs here, but...

Formally, there is a generalisation of differentiation which can handle functions like ReLU (i.e. locally Lipschitz non-differentiable functions) by allowing a derivative to be set-valued. It's called the Clarke gradient. The Clarke gradient of ReLU at 0 is the closed interval [0,1]. Note that the Clarke gradient doesn't satisfy the chain rule (except in a weakened form) which might seriously mess up some assumptions about autodiff. Is this generalised derivative useful in autodiff?

I imagine that this is a largely theoretical tool that's useful in analysing algorithms but useless for actually computing things.

There's a part that I don't understand. If some software is mirrored on github by someone that isn't the copyright owner, it seems like github shouldn't be able to use it. Yet they said nothing about that specifically. In that case, is the only option to put code somewhere else than github under a license that forbids reuploading to github, and issue DMCAs when/if people reupload your code? It also sounds like when code is removed through DMCA, it should be removed from the training set and they should retrain copilot.
Chrome remote desktop works well.

I spent too many times on the phone hearing complaints like "it just put up a error message that said 'no'" etc that this is much easier. No more asking what the error actually said etc.

Alright... What is a proper response to an honest mistake in your book? We have links to a bug, explanation of what happened, a clear response (that they will check to see if this happened on other forks), they reversed the change...

Unsure why the bar would need to be higher. This is all reasonable given the circumstances.

The article misses part of the point, I think. All the points it describes are symptomatic fixes.

Most stuff getting slung around, as the parent mentions, is rooted in the kind of development that relies on NPM-adjacent tooling. The two things you mention (Java and modern Web development, especially something modelled after another thing found on GitHub Pages) tend to be miles apart in this decade. Where does Java come in to it?
The queue proposal sounds like a Monty Python skit.

If we adopt the rule that the next person to be served is the most recent person to join line, it's inevitable that a second line will form with people waiting to go to the first line and if someone tries to go to bypass the second line and go directly to the first line, the crowd in the first line will direct their rage at this person and compel him or her to queue in the second line - it's just as if there were only one line and the person had cut in that.

> every time you encounter a problem google it.

One "patience" problem I have is that problems are usually much more complex than they appear. Node is giving you some random dependency error? It's because you need to install X. But to install X you need to install Y. But to install Y you need to install Z. But Z requires some specific node version. But that specific node version will break A, and to not break A you need to install B which requires you to disable your Mac's SIP so that it can work with X. If I sniff that I problem will lead me to a hole like this I get so annoyed that I start avoiding that specific platform as much as I can.

Software is so fragmented nowadays that even setting up something simple requires you to handle tons of difference pieces for no good reason. Monopoly aside, this is one reason I like Apple having full control of iOS development.
So by correlation, the equivalent would be to send devs on the field to shadow the dashers.
I would suggest keeping it simple and using Windows 10's built in Quick Assist app. They just click it to open and put in the code you give them.

You don't have to imagine this - it happens a lot today. A large number of painful gynecological procedures are done with no pain management besides the doctor saying "This might pinch a little".
You’re well-familiar with HN’s tendency to take the dry-literal interpretation path, I see :) It’s difficult to build productive conversation out of sarcasm and rhetoric, and the guidelines ask us to choose the most good-faith interpretation rather than the most obvious one.
I was almost tempted to downvote this. But I disagree with you, so I won't.
Please, Google contributes far more to open source than both. Between Chromium (which seemingly most other browsers are based on now as well as things like VSCode) to Android, GSoC, Golang, Dart/Flutter, the Linux kernel and a bunch of other random stuff, Google has probably done as much or more for the open source ecosystem than pretty much anyone.

Pretty much MS' only useful contributions to open source are from MS Research, everything else feels like a Trojan horse, designed to make you like them and then lock you in to something proprietary later.

Lots of plugins don't work on open-source VSCode, they tried a bait and switch with .NET features, Windows 11 has a bunch of anti-patterns, GitHub is being dodgy about how they train Copilot, etc...
What will Machine Learning look like in future?
Let's take an example of recommendation engines. I think a truly decentralised content curation will be based on edge computing.

Twitter, FB (Meta), Youtube everyone harvests user data and train their recommendation engines which are then monetised by them (often unfairly).

In the future, the data stays on the users' devices and anyone can train their models by asking the user for the consent. The data never leaves the device and ML models get trained on user device itself. The users get to choose from a host of recommendation models (from twitter, WSJ, <some_random_company>) and can ask for payment in return for using their data. So no one party can build a monopoly over the platform.
This is absolutely terrible advice, you're likely to get chocolate bars with something else in them at best.
Incentive.

When you are given something I want it too. I might even want you not to have it if I can't have it.
However, if I am the one giving you the thing it becomes important for me that you have the thing even if I no longer do.

This is intuitive even if it is logically an eyesore.

It's pretty much what environmentalists have done with dams, right? They buy them and then dismantle them to restore the natural flow of rivers. It's more effective than lobbying the government to pass legislation forcing the removal of the dam.

Some things to keep in mind:

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Western expats in East Asia tend to be quite polarized about their country of residence, and expats in poorer countries even more so. Over time, the tint of novelty wears off and the warts begin to stand out. Poorer countries have more warts.

For folks like myself who are extra sensitive, the negatives get an outsized representation, while the positives and neutrals get filtered out. It took me years of to develop the habits to compensate. I'm far from where I'd like to be, but I'm learning to accept that as well.

This is especially true in places of higher density. If you encounter 1 bad apple in a place of 100 people, vs 10 bad apples of 1000 people, the ratio is the same, but subjectively the latter feels ten times worse. It’s the price you pay for living the city life.

And when you have an under-stimulated career, the idle mind becomes the devil's playground.

We let collective narratives plays a greater role in colouring our opinions (as opposite to direct experience) than we'd like to admit. In this day and age, I don't think it's especially controversial to say that we get more dopamine hits from internet discussions than having a stroll down the street. Ultimately, unless we consciously intervene, the chemicals get to decide what we let ruminate in the back of our minds.

The idiosyncrasies you used to brush off or find amusing are now small but cumulative signs of impending doom. What we get right in direction we get wrong in magnitude. The sprinkles of verifiable truth can often as easily fuel our biases as they moderate them.

Unfortunately it looks like I can't edit or delete that comment now. :embarassed:
Bad things do happen but hallucinogens tend to make you just not want to do misadventurous things. Like “I’d like to go walk to the store on the corner and get a sandwich, but that seems like it would be a little too intense right now” is a common sort of thought. Yes driving would be quite dangerous but it’s usually also quite an undesirable experience and your reason just isn’t so inhibited like with alcohol or many other kinds of drugs.
>it could have had untold effect on the outcome of the war

Unlikely. The Soviets defeated the Nazis and nobody outside the Anglosphere questions this fact. FDR was a decent president at home, but the collaborationism of the British and U.S. leadership (see Churchill’s prioritizing of international trade relations via gold standard) meant their offense was very late to the table and more focused on claiming victory than fighting for it.

>and the destiny of the country

Possibly for the better. The AFL-CIO pact was a wreck for working Americans. At the end of the day, FDR was exactly what he claimed to be: “capitalism’s best friend.”
I just got a security bug fixed last month in dyld in one release cycle. Didn't strike me as difficult. I emailed them, and they fixed it. Not much more to add then that. Have you actually tried?

Also dyld isn't just some thrown-over the wall code. It's completely designed and built by Apple and is the cornerstone to making the user-space runtime functional.
You can assume anything. Doesn't mean it's true. The reality is that your perception of China is highly fantasized and part of a crafted narrative. It's dangerous if you continue to contribute to this propaganda without care as to whether you've verified anything you've heard yourself. Maybe it's true, maybe not, but I doubt you'd know. I mean, it's certainly possible our rooms were bugged, but to what end? To fulfill the dreams of conspiracy theorists? I guess it's equally likely the US embedded a CIA agent in our group as well so maybe bugging us would be justified.
I tried, but that first YouTube it’s waaaay too fast English for me to understand a thing (non-native English speaker here). I’ll Google it
The risk of fire and collapse is mitigated to a large degree already. People are arguing about the relative utility of further mitigations. At least in the US, folk mostly build interior walls with sheetrock and their exterior walls with cement based composites. Bedrooms are legally required to have smoke detectors. Electrical and gas runs are supposed to be installed "to code". Tall buildings require engineering to make appropriately strong structures. Buildings don't completely burn down or collapse very often, especially compared to the frequency of serious car crashes.

But there's other products that compete and it takes time for products to get to market.

If you shut down some number of oil production the price would go up quickly but it would take much longer for alternative sources to come online.

Also when prices of gas goes up, unlike in the past, there are now alternatives in EVs.
Forgeries in art are not novel. Digital makes it easier, same way it makes lots of things easier. Technical solutions seem likely.
This feature has such a positive effect on code quality in JS. It makes it easier to give consistent names to variables, and harder to use inconsistent names. You really notice when you write { foo: bar } instead of { foo } and it becomes somewhat of a code smell. Could variable bar be changed to foo? If yes then great, that's one less naming variation you have to remember for 'foo'. Across a whole codebase that can be a significant improvement.
Wayland became the default in Fedora maybe 2 years ago. I'm still using X.Org on my desktop (nvidia card), and _experimenting_ with Wayland on my laptop.

I love the touchpad screen gestures and overall it's a solid experience, but screensharing e.g. in Zoom is still kind of broken or not working as expected. Not really a drop-in replacement. :(
They didn't do it because regulators were already on them, hard. They literally funded Apple to try have a competitor so they wouldn't be broken up. A judge did, at one point, rule that they should be broken up anyway.
This might work if (1) coal production cannot be increased cheaply enough and (2) alternative generation can be deployed faster than increasing the coal supply.

I think that the only kind of generation that can quickly replace coal would be based on burning LNG and turning the same turbines.

Solar is great but unstable, adding a battery is pretty expensive yet.

Nuclear is sadly way too slow and expensive to build, even if no NIMBY protests would appear.
Git for Windows comes to mind. Teams can absolutely get approval for any open source license; however, for a GPL project, we'd have their open source legal team work with them to brief them on the license obligations and requirements, such as publishing code to https://3rdpartysource.microsoft.com/.
