True.

But I've honestly never encountered this. Not in a valid domain concept. Where "valid" means it is truly embedded in the domain: and not some historical artifact that has been carried along for far too long¹

I'd love to see what valid real-world use-cases there are for an "FooOrBar" or "BarAndFoo" domain concept.

- I'm talking about a hypothetical ideal future as I see it, and why that's exciting to me

- I don't think we're anywhere close to where we need to be for this to be realistic. More like 50+ years when we figure out patents, copyright, delivery, and fine-detail privacy-friendly monetization (person X purchased Y because of seeing a billboard and having conversations with sales rep Z.)

- I like moonshots. I think that setting big ideals as goals is a great way to get to where we can be as a society and as a planet. No one else is obligated to share that mindset or those goals (or even agree that those ideals will get those goals)

All I did, was saying comments shouldn't be default for documentation. To which you reply with this.

"People like you are the reason why code becomes unmaintainable."

So ... what do you think, I could say of people like you and something with the internet?

In any case, I use comments in code btw. But way less often nowdays. Because comments have a tendency to be ignored and still remain there, despite the code for that comment changed long ago or was even removed. That can happen with any documenation, sure - but comments are notorious for it.

No comment is way better, than a wrong, missleading comment.

Possibly. It would be interesting to know if other implementations (some HP laptops, UHK, etc.) have the same issue. I haven't used it on any other hardware besides the USB ThinkPad keyboard, but it's disappointing that little to no investment was done in R&D to perfect the technology over the years and avoid this very common issue. Unsurprising though given the overall drop in quality since Lenovo took over.

Lack of trust because of misdeeds does not mean one hates all Doctor and nurses who work their ass off to literally save people’s lives. It is not binary.

There is a difference between - will I go to the hospital if I get hurt or have a medical need versus do I trust the hospital to not fleece for some care I may not need. The fact that this question needs to be asked is a result of the lack of trust. If there is any profession where there should have been zero tolerance for malpractice, it is this noble medical profession.
I wish that were true but, having sat in lots of meetings with them (including an hour with the leader of the County Council last month), that's not my experience.

The highway engineers were generally trained in the 80s or thereabouts to value vehicle throughput and continuous speed as their principal outputs. So they continue to build junctions with massive corner radiuses, shared-use pedestrian/cycle paths to maximise the space available for cars, priority for turning cars at side-road crossings, and so on.

Here in Oxfordshire you could describe the situation as "officer capture" - the officers continue to design dreck, and the elected politicians aren't (yet) strong enough to reject it.

Can I own something without possessing it? Clearly one can own a copyright over something without possessing a copy. So while it is illegal to possess CSA, is it illegal to own rights over it?

That is not a legal requirement, no. (not just for AUs, but a bunch of other things too it has been waived, again so that people don't need to go visit their doctors in person during the pandemic if it can be avoided. You can call a doctor you never went to for a sick note or a video consultation)
A coworker of mine is leaving for a Ruby job, which caught me off guard, so I've had Ruby on the brain a bit lately. I was a big fan of Ruby for a few years back in 2004-2006 or thereabouts. Rails was the new hot thing, but I wasn't into web dev so I didn't pay all that much attention to it. I remember blindsiding my networking professor by using Ruby for an assignment when he expected but failed to specify Java or C ... he was a good sport, thankfully.

I strayed from the CS path into econometrics and then data science, so Ruby just wasn't a good fit for basically anything I do. That seems to remain the case, unfortunately, though I like it on the language level more than my bread and butter Python. Oh well.

I think there can be reasonable asks for you prior to getting paid. For example, I was invited to a company-wide call prior to my start date, but it was optional for me and was only suggested on the basis that I would learn a little about the company prior to my start date. It was not a problem that I elected not to attend.

I am not aware if it is illegal but it is certainly unprofessional to ask someone to contribute to the business while not being a representative of the business yet, leaving pay issues aside. It's unclear why they are comfortable having you make decisions when, for all they know, you may do something that makes the company legally liable. Further, many vendors require NDAs, depending on the sort of vendor call. Seems like silly risk to me.

Certainly it is a red flag but I don't think I would sound the alarm quite yet.

Fungi, flowers, fruit, and foliage (growing wild, not cultivated) are one of the corner cases - they're specifically carved out by s.4(3) of the Theft Act 1968. There are a few others, as I said: mineral rights, wild and semi-wild animals, etc. But otherwise it's not generally complicated (at least in England and Wales).

Now, you have a good case that the natural things shouldn't belong to the landowner. But English law has chosen not to agree with you (unsurprisingly given the strength of the landed interest over British history). First possession is not the rule here, it's the ownership of the land it's found on that matters.
I've pretty much given up on cycling in the UK. I drive now. It's just not safe or fun any more.

The problem is car dominance. 20mph speed limits are flagrantly ignored everywhere, even right next to schools etc. Most drivers have zero experience on the road except for in a car. Cars are getting bigger and bigger and more and more powerful. Streets are lined with cars. Pavements are filled with cars. It's cars everywhere. We've a long way to go before even stopping the tide, let alone turning it around.

Even when Netherlands style infrastructure is introduced in the UK it's a laughable failure. It ends up making things worse. See the Dutch style roundabout in Cambridge, for example. It turns out you can't change people's behaviour by painting a few lines on the road.

I stumbled across a DHT crawler, and started running it. Over time I added random things to it, like IPv6 and the ability to download metadata. I was mostly interested in using it to learn how DHT worked both in theory and in practice, and for that, it did it's job.

The page for the crawler I started with is long gone, but this appears to be a reasonable copy on github:

https://github.com/zlzlovezl/simDHT-1

I'm sure you can find other copies, with features added. Looking around, it seems like quite a few people have taken this and made it their own over time.

It's far from perfect in this state, but a fun toy to play with. I will say, from a point of painful experience: The way this crawler works tends to make some of the various people that track such things think you're sharing pretty much all the things. If that's an issue where you live, don't run it from your home connection.
> A Ponzi Scheme is where the sum of all investor's reported account values exceed the total value of assets held by the institution.

Which is exactly what Tether, other stablecoins, and a lot of shady centralized exchanges did. They report account values in USD, coin market caps in USD, total on-chain trading volumes in USD, where are there is often no USD to be found anywhere, just lots of digital play-money being thrown around. It's a completely false report of account values, so while Bitcoin itself might not fit the strict definition of a Ponzi, many of the enterprises operating in the ecosystem do.

No. I'm a software engineer for clinical studies and medical devices and this is not true for any medical device, which includes antigen tests, at all.

It's not just technically laughable, cross-game assets make zero sense from a design and aesthetic standpoint. Splatoon and Gears of War are both third-person shooters, but characters in one would look jarring and hilariously out of place in the other.

I second this. The fulfillment of doing work as a contractor and being the owner of my future is invaluable.

I have been working for 15+ years as consultant and contractor for a SP500 company and I have several friends that are FTE there. Over the years I realized I'm much more motivated and overall happier with the work I do than they are - at the same company and in similar positions.

I'm also much more productive because my only measure of success is the quality of the output of my work. If it isn't good, then my contract will not get renewed. So I have to produce something of value 100% of the time which keeps me in check at all times.

In their case there's politics, promotions, new roles, new bosses, performance reviews and so on.

I'm inclined to agree as I'm extremely skeptical of NFT's but I'd note that your "stone" thought exercise could also be applied to things like trading cards or other collectibles, which also have no objective value but often preserve their value over time (though not always).

You're taking a lot of flak here, but I think you're basically correct. (Even if cross-game NFTs never become a thing.)

The debate reminds me of when Napster looked, to many, like it would end the sales of pre-recorded music, since music can be copied identically for free. Obviously such predictions turned out to be wrong.

I think they would have turned out to be right if there was no such thing as copyright law. But there is. People were prosecuted, and over time the prosecutions made a difference. They helped it make sense to invest money in creating well-designed, easy-to-use streaming services. And in the end, for most people, it was more convenient and risk-free to get music from such services than to pirate it. It was worth the cost.

Over time, if people spend real money on NFTs, the legal system will evolve to better protect people's purchases. For now, if two people claim to be the creator of a given artwork which is the subject of an NFT, and create two NFTs, only one of them will have the actual copyright. That should provide a basis for legal action.

As I said, I'm not sure cross-game NFTs will ever get past the hype stage. But I have been to a museum where truly beautiful NFT art was on display. I haven't bought any art in many years but I can certainly imagine that my next art purchase could be that kind of NFT. By purchasing it, I am helping the creator in "1000 True Fans"[1] manner, and I am, in the creator's view, which is the only one with any legitimacy when it comes to digital art, the "owner". (Even if I am the second or third purchaser of an NFT, the fact that the original purchaser knew he could sell it to someone like me is part of why he purchased it, so I have helped create the environment where that original purchase could happen.)

While it's true that people can make copies that are identical, people can also make copies of the Mona Lisa that can't be distinguished by anyone but specialists. To the normal person, they would appear to be identical. It isn't what they look like that matters. It's the legitimacy: which is the legitimate Leonardo Da Vinci? It's the one he personally made (and/or was made in his studio by other people under his direction). It has nothing to do with how it looks to the average person.

To one degree or another, these issues of legitimacy and helping the artist will have an affect and give value to NFTs of real art.

I'd also be willing to bet that there will be a long-term market for "collectibles" for the same reason there is for baseball cards. If someone were to make an identical copy of an original Mickey Mantle baseball card, it would have no value. Only the original does, and only because the purchasers believes it is the original, and therefore legitimate, card. The mechanism for NFT legitimacy is different, but there is no reason to assume that that mechanism will not create persistent value over time. It is unclear now how much value it will create. But it would be wrong to just dismiss it at this early stage.
