Scary accurate.
Fair enough. I was only thinking about the str vs tuple case. So when you have 2 elements in the parenthesis.
It's fine as a medium of exchange or a unit of account; as a store of value, 6% inflation in a year is disastrous.
Which is solved exactly after this is encountered the first time, eg

if opacity -ne 100% do_not_click_yet = true

So this is totally useless to prevent bots from solving it.
I just want to say that I think it's awesome that you are sharing your personal experience with ADHD here. The stigma around mental health does no one any good, and too often when ADHD comes up on HN, the loudest voices are people dismissing ADHD as a boogeyman that's over-diagnosed. It's important for people to know that ADHD is real and too often it isn't even diagnosed until adulthood.
Thank you. You don't seem to provide a c_str() equivalent (a method that gives a pointer to or copies out a C-string) or views ? Sorry if I missed them.

This is insanely helpful. Since my ADHD diagnosis, I've been trying to find ways to transform my brain's particular liabilities into assets. The strategies here are a good place to start. I'm intrigued by the idea of interstitial journaling - and I would very much like to see the author's teased post about the process. I've been keeping a paper journal for years now and this looks like a way to get more out of it...
I don't know about the woulds or would nots, I'm not an expert in constitutional law or international treaties. The former head of the CC is the former. I listen to what he has to say. It is what it is. What I can tell you is that the current situation suits me because there are mechanisms in place that make it considerably harder for local politicians to tighten their grip on power and turn my country into a dictatorship again. I will never support eurosceptic parties precisely because of what happened in Poland and Hungary, among other issues like Holocaust denial.
The Covid-19 Pandemic Has Shown Why We Should Fund Students, Not Systems
Hey! So the solution I've got in place was actually kind of a compromise solution originally. I had it jump right in at first and people asked to disable autoplay, so I tried completely shutting it off and a lot of people missed that you could run the path altogether. Settled on this 5 second timer, but I think some kind of option to disable it is a good idea. I'll work on adding that in. If you'd like, you can submit it that or other suggestions as an issue here: https://github.com/sdl60660/river-runner

That's why I wrote flavor and packaging. For example, consider this product:

> if you have bought a $10 and a $100 ticket, buying a second $10 ticket is, all else being equal, preferable to buying a second $100 ticket, regardless of how desirable either option is

Not if you won't desire it anymore (or desire less) at later date. Or if you won't be able to take it at a later date at all (which influences desirability at present). Or when the price doesn't really matter, you'll be able to afford it anyway. Or in multitude of other circumstances that may be relevant to the given example that you may think about once you decide to not miss the point of that example anymore, since it's very far from implying that "all else is being equal" ;)

Your argument is incredibly dishonest and myopic, because you're suggesting that every single one of those deaths were avoidable, and that any containment strategy wouldn't cause any deaths or carry any costs either.

Suicides among kids and teenagers are up 20%, I'm sure those kids would disagree with you.

Deaths of despair, i.e. alcohol and drug-related deaths are up considerably. Do their deaths count?

Deaths among dementia patients and similar are up, because of the isolation. It's very important grandma doesn't die of covid, but apparently no-one cares if grandma dies of loneliness.

Cancer screenings, heart screenings, stroke care, all of that is on the backburner, which will cost hundreds of thousands of lives in the future.

School disruptions affect all kids, but lower-income kids are overwhelmingly affected by it, and them lagging behind translates directly into shorter lifespans for that group.

We understand that every policy needs a cost-benefit analysis, but somehow, for corona, we completely abandoned that line of thought and went on some hysterical bandwagon where absolutely no strategy is deemed to costly.

Every single comprehensive QALY analysis of lockdown policies show that their cost is horrendous compared to the benefits. We're happily, gleefully, sacrificing our young for the benefit of our elders, and yet if you point this out, you're somehow the callous, unfeeling, murderer. It's insane.
You can easily control fd values, and attackers can't control them, so even if you're using fd_set, it's not like gets(). You can use select() safely by dynamically allocating your bitvectors, assuming you're using a sensible kernel instead of one that only cares about standards-compliance.

Or you could just not have thousands of open files in a single process, which is the way every single Unix program worked for the first 25 years of Unix. I have 269 processes running on this machine right now and none of them is using a file descriptor greater than 255. Even Firefox is only using up to fd 75. The worst offender is gnome-terminal, using fds up to 226, and its children. Having thousands of simultaneously open files is a useful way to structure a few specialized programs like chat servers and load balancers, but it's not something most programs need to worry about.

Of course in a library the situation is different, but you probably shouldn't be calling poll() or select() in a library unless it's something like libevent, libev, or libuv, because you can't use two such libraries in the same program unless you're willing to suffer multithreading.
All else being equal, low head count is simply better than high head count from a business standpoint.

Ask HN: How Effective Is Copyleft with Commercial Licensing at Making Money?
I'm currently building software that I would like to see turned into a business. However, there is plenty of evidence that companies will not pay for what software they use until they realize that there is a problem, such as log4j, OpenSSL, and probably plenty others.

Then there are the cases where companies are outright violating licenses such as the violations of the GPL with regards to OBS Studio by TikTok, among others.

And then, of course, Copilot might be used to launder code.

That leaves me with the impression that companies will not pay if they can get away with it, and getting away with it might even include breaking the law since the little guy does not have resources to sue.

However, there seems to be a glimmer of hope: copyleft licenses with the option for companies to purchase a commercial license. (This is an option for me because I'm writing the code from scratch.) Based on some previous comments (like [1]), it seems that even this may not work, which would be sad. But I thought I would ask before I throw in the towel.

To address things like Qt, obviously, dual licensing makes money for companies because if they dual license their stuff, other companies will pay because they are afraid of being sued be someone with enough resources to win. But as I alluded to above, that's not really the case for an individual.

So I would like to hear your thoughts and experiences about using copyleft with commercial licenses.

Does dual licensing work? Do companies pay?

By the way, by "effective," I don't mean that every company follows the license. All I want is for just enough of them to purchase a license and/or support to pay 2 times the typical developer salary. (I need 2 times the salary for tax purposes.)

Edit: I guess I have a meta-question: when companies violate licenses, how often are they just bluffing? Is serving them with a lawsuit enough? Or will they fight what they know is a losing battle?

I'd totally agree - there's been a burst of sort of the perl style stuff (:= ?) to gain relatively small wins.

ie, instead of

for line in lines:
print(line)

we are supposed to be using

while line := f.readline():
print(line)

I've not been super impressed with this type of thing.

That said, string formatting is better with f strings.

They also rolled back some the forced breakage from trying to force unicode with 3 which made a big difference. 3.3 added back u''

Lots of good cleanups lstrip vs removeprefix etc.

Underscores in numeric literals (10000000 vs 10_000_000)

So lots of good stuff still landing.

Sadly, the PhD was completed in 1990 (although the work was done earlier) and the result has been overtaken by more recent work.

Also, my PhD isn't on-line, and I'm not sure I even have a soft copy any more. It was quite undistinguished, although one of the papers based on the same work is what got me an Erdős number of the second type of 3. (My Erdős number of the first type is 2).
It doesn't have to be a complete restart. We could make incremental changes, like limiting prosecutorial and law enforcement discretion (this should lead to BS laws being removed from the books because they no longer affect only targeted groups), holding those in power accountable instead of hiding behind special privileges (complaints against judges are so secret that they don't have to turn over exculpatory evidence), making magistrates at least pass the bar to prevent total incompetence, actually adhering to strict construction and not legislating from the bench, etc.
So how do I apply?

> None of that sounds like a reason to kill them in the street

Exactly what kind of picture are you imagining? That evil baby-eating Kazakh government is lining up poor peaceful unarmed civillians to shoot them down in the street? Well sorry, that's not what we see on photographic evidence. Unfortunately there is no other practical response to armed mob that threatens actual civillians and is intended to kill anyone affiliated with the government, other than "killing them in the street" if they don't comply with surrender order, don't lay down their weapons and continue their business of turning the city into a war zone, burning property and so on.

> Both of your posts have an aggressive tone that is condoning a government killing citizens

This is merely your impression. Written text has no "tone" except the one you hear in your imagination. Please don't reduce what I had said to a mere "tone that is condoning government killing citizens" -- that is not what I said.

> They also contain sarcasm
Only one contains sarcasm and, in an case, sarcasm does not imply anything in particular. My first posts only epressed frustration with Reuter's quality of journalism. If you see it in a "wrong" tone and interpret it as an invitation for a fight, sorry, but that is completely on you.

> I'm just pointing out that it's unrealistic for you to say "I am not looking to pick a fight"

Please don't project your behavioural patterns on me.

> I.e. government agents must (morally) reserve lethal force against their own citizens for when they are under immediate threat of an intent to kill

Then I don't see what is the problem here, or, specifically, I don't see why you insist on acting as if it is not what is currently happening.
Complex: consisting of many different and connected parts.

Complicated: consisting of many interconnecting parts or elements; intricate.

Nothing specifically artificial about either one. Software that is well decomposed is Complex (made of many smaller connected parts). Software that is is poorly decomposed is Complicated (made of many smaller interconnected parts).

Connected vs interconnected?

Interconnected: connected at multiple points or levels (aka spaghetti code)

> You couldn't be more wrong here. Credit creates new money. The money doesn't get destroyed again until either the credit gets paid off or the lender defaults.

That is exactly what I said. This new money doesn't actually exist. It's backed by nothing until someone creates real value and repays the loan.

> The Earth's resources don't magically spring into the air when someone takes a loan.

Of course not. People work to extract as much value as possible. Exponential growth.

> If consumption is indeed unsustainable, it's because that's what people want.

Who doesn't want to grow expontentially? My whole point is it's not sustainable.

> Again, complete nonsense. Alice takes a loan for Bob to build a home. The value of the money created with the loan comes from the new home that Bob built. Banks aren't extracting profits from diluted money, they get paid for providing financial services.

Alice takes out a loan at the bank. Alice pays Bob for services. Bob deposits money at bank. That same money is loaned out again. Eventually it makes its way back to the bank again. And gets loaned out again. And on and on.

In this manner $100 easily turns into $1,000 or $10,000 or $100,000. Fake money that doesn't exist until all of those loans are repaid in full. And in order to repay, things need to happen, businesses need to be started, value needs to be created, money needs to be made, the economy must grow exponentially, and in doing so it creates even more loans which creates even more fake money driving even more growth. If the music ever stops for any reason, it's all over.

> While Sneakers features a box which can decrypt anything, at the touch of a power probe.

> Both films have nonsensical MacGuffins

Sneakers came out in 1992 and in 1999, EFF and distributed.net brute-forced a DES key in under 24 hours. If that's what a bunch of randoms could do in 1999 with commodity hardware, the NSA almost certainly had ASIC, FPGA, or supercomputer based tools to provide nearly the same functionality much, much earlier.

If you pay attention to the talk around The Box - the concept is that the mathematician found a "shortcut" through western encryption algorithms. That's a very accurate representation of plenty of crypto attacks. For example, a bunch of WiFi attacks are nearly as magical as The Box.

The film eventually reveals that it's the NSA that wants the box...to spy on other government agencies. Also rooted in truth; the NSA created DES with intentional weaknesses, mandated its use for the government and pushed its use in private sector.

What is interesting is that Chinese is not I this superfamily.

For me, ancient Chinese civilization is so interesting in large part because of how isolated it is. Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia and even India were in regular communication with each other. Empires such as the Persians and Alexander the Great fought across all these civilizations. The Romans had direct trade with India via the Indian Ocean.

However, Chinese civilization is located far away from those ones. I think there is still debate if Chinese writing rose de novo or was influenced by writing from Sumer.

At the same time, even though it was so distant, China still had a very advanced civilization (and in many ways was more advanced than those of the Middle East and Europe for much of history)
Forced-union laws are authorized at the federal level by the NLRA [0] and the RLA [1]. The NLRA was passed in response to one of the incidents I left out, the Ludlow Massacre [2], when a private corporate army in cooperation with the Colorado National Guard slaughtered 21 striking workers and their families, including children.

The RLA was passed in response to the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, which I mentioned in my previous post. This was an uprising that spanned multiple states, and resulted in over 100 deaths.

These laws which you regard as heavy handed were paid for with literal blood at the hands of the federal government and corporations. I think it's important to point out the scope and scale of these things. On one hand you have the federal government mobilizing the machines of war at the behest of, and in coordination with corporations, to slaughter workers and their families for having the audacity to ask for better working conditions. That's heavy handed.

On the other side you have laws passed in response to this bloodshed that were intended to help tilt the scales in the other direction just a bit. That's not heavy handed. Maybe you feel that these kinds of restrictions are heavy and onerous, but really I don't think it's fair to draw an equivalency.

As for Caesar Chavez, I don't think that's an example of heavy handed government intervention. It seems more like interclass violence, and it's sad. I will be the first to say that no one really comes out of the labor rights movement squeaky clean. But I think it's the government and corporations who have the highest body count and deserve most of the blame, because they had most of the money and power at the time. They could have chosen and afforded to not resort to violence, others in more precarious situations felt that violence was the only choice.
