Some ecosystems adopt latest semantic version (i.e. caret/hat versions).

Some ecosystems adopt lowest applicable version (i.e. explicit/implicit ranges).

Although this may be more specific to the former ecosystems, I think the real lesson here is that there's associated risk with not pinning your dependencies in favor of receiving security/bug fixes. Yes, lock files are a thing, but there's still a real downstream effects to these things when they are regenerated/created.

Not sure if it applies to this particular link, but WeGotThisCovered is probably the worst website ever, full of clickbait. 90% (or more) of their news are clickbait straight lies, they don't care that's a lie as long as it is clickable and people comment it on Facebook.

My favourite example is this one:

https://wegotthiscovered.com/?s=emma+watson+reportedly&submi...

They add "reportedly" just to any article that's 100% invented by them. Emma Watson was never approached to do any Harry Potter film, there were no talks to do them, etc, etc, etc. And I put that example because that's the one I am more familiar with (I am very deep in the Harry Potter fandom), but I have seen reports by them from all franchises with clear lies.

> The project's author committed a change to his own open source project, which he had every right to do.

Indeed, and it goes beyond this. I think the real implication is that software published on NPM and similar networks isn't truly free and open source, in the sense that the platform owner can and will step in and make editorial changes without the knowledge or consent of the software maintainers.
A team I worked with had a fun little habit I have since borrowed: you add a "BOGUS" comment next to the offending line. Sort of like:

The real issue is that Davis is farm country.

Taller buildings cost somewhat more per square foot. You need a stronger foundation and building materials, past a certain height you need pumps for water and things like that.

That's worth the cost where land is expensive and you're building a 30 story building next to a bunch of 15 story buildings you'd otherwise have to knock down. When you're building next to cows, you just build five story buildings or two story buildings and build more of them, because the land isn't that expensive.

This is presumably why it's easier to pass there. Not going to be a lot of takers on the skyscrapers.

Though it could still be useful if you get some five story buildings where there might have only been single family homes.

I like what npm is doing in these cases and I think so do most developers.

Isn't this what people are always praising about linux package managers? That they modify the software in all kinds of ways and take things into their own hands, beyond the developers will?

For GitHub it's maybe not a great look. If there was content in the readme that they felt violated their ToS, fair enough, I guess. They aren't obliged to publish that.

Interesting article.

I've been designing my own language for the past year and a half: https://letlang.dev

I feel like the phase 2 of the design is very long, longer every time I have a question like:

- how would I do this?
- does this syntax make sense with the rest of the language?
- is this feature really useful? how would it be used?

As for the compiler, I've often started to write the parser for an ever-changing syntax, while the AST did not change that much.

Now, I use a different approach: I write the AST and then the compiling/transpiling/interpreting phase. This allows me to make unit tests and make sure things work the way I intend it to. The parser will be the last piece of the puzzle.

After 1 year and a half, I just began writing the compiler, and I expect to switch between implementation and design quite often as I encounter road blocks. I'm also expecting to cut some features to get a first MVP out, but the AST will be there.
Languages evolve to classify and add clarity to cover edge cases.

Companies has done way worse things to make money, this needs a regulatory fix. If they don't do it some other company would just fill those slots and fly empty and come out ahead, even a minor company would raise capital and take the slots since it means lots of future profits. This is the strength of capitalism, if one player drops the ball another will pick it up, meaning if you want the player to drop the ball then you need to not just complain about that player but instead you need to remove the incentives to hold the ball.
If someone did this on my team, I'd publicly tear into them if I wasn't their manager for being not just unprofessional, but cruel.

If I was their manager, they'd be forced to apologize for how it was handled to the person with myself and HR on the call, and then I'd force them to read a productive feedback book.

I'd also expect they quit. I usually find people overly cruel at work are especially insecure and in need of counseling. Usually something else driving that behaviour. Most people aren't just assholes.
Criminals growing weed (producing marihuana) in The Netherlands use a lot of electricity (often illegal tapped, so electricity company has financial incentive to get them busted ASAP) and generate a lot of heat. If you were doing mining in The Netherlands in a civilian building, you may get swatted at some point (there are already better reasons to avoid mining though).

Its very easy to distinguish a gamer from a miner/weed producer. Gamers, even when addicted, are human beings. Human beings sleep. Which means you are going to see patterns (normally at night) where usage is down. Also, a lot of gaming is mobile, increasingly in cloud, and every Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo Switch is going to have a specific power profile (non-unique, except TV output) as well as a specific heat dissipation. And the usage of power and heat dissipation is both much lower than both mining and weed producers.

You can bet your ass both the electricity companies and the Dutch authority use big data to aid in their discovery of such criminal enterprises. However, the goal of a weed producer is to generate for a criminal enterprise, knowing they get busted. If they hidden their assets well, they can reap the benefits after the case (even if they bankrupted). And therein, in that cat and mouse game, lies a market for cryptocurrencies, unfortunately if I may add.

Because I am from The Netherlands, and I would like my children being able to visit the provinces of Holland where they were born (I get that nobody from China gives a shit about that though, but just to give ut a personal touch from my PoV). To achieve that, environmental waste must go down. Cryptocurrencies are the single most useless asset in that equation. They don't contribute in any positive way to the environmental issues we face. Its an eccentric if not downright narcissistic financial world, while the environmental clock is ticking.

I therefore agree with a world-wide ban on this MLM driven scam business (another downside). However, banning alone is not enough. It requires moderation by an already overburdened police force. If its banned though, you no longer need to differentiate between cryptocurrency mining and weed producing. And you don't go after Harry the 16 year old gamer or Joe the Norton user who mine a bit on the side. Its the big boys who matter.

> Hopefully the court will revisit that initial decision and recognize that we don't just throw out the 1st Amendment because someone somewhere screams "copyright!"

This is the glorious lack of self-awareness I've come to expect in tech discourse surrounding social media.

The last two years have been nothing but rationalizations for why Twitter can and should throw out the 1st Amendment. Their own CEO just went to the press talking about how the 1st Amendment does not apply to their business model.

Things that Twitter is comfortable censoring: stories about politicians from one party, politicians of the other party, people who make accurate claims around biology, claims which are "proven" false only be proven true a year later, verbatim retweets of government statistics, and in general... facts.

If Twitter wishes to remain neutral, then they should actually remain neutral. The immense effort they have gone to curate, comment on, and censor other users' content shows they have no desire to do so. The original logic for platform neutrality (and section 230)—that it is too costly for a platform to monitor content—is obviously false, as curation is critical to their trending stories and fact checks.

The correct approach would be to allow changes like this to be pushed to _new_ versions but to lock pre-existing versions in place. The alternative is this weird world where the platforms themselves have spooky editorial control over every package and could step in at any time and lock out the maintainers (sounds a lot like SourceForge).
The reason for this regulation existing is that in the past airlines could shut down competition by buying gates. Because many of the big airports have gates assigned to specific carriers, so if there aren’t any gates for a new airline to buy/lease/whatever then that airline can’t land at that airport.

While the airlines are saying we need to do this so that the gates are available when demand returns, what they’re actually doing is making it impossible for any new airlines to start up.

Basically the cost of these empty flights is less than the cost of competition from a new carrier.
The two safe combo is brilliant win-win for YC and the startup. I wonder if the uncapped MFN safe from YC will set a precedent and encourage startups to ask for more uncapped safes from other investors? And what are the negative effects of this.

I think there YC could create a new safe category and have this as “combo safe”. Portion of the moneys come capped and the rest come uncapped. Will be win win for future safe investors and startups.

> I still want regulations (or just "laws") that stop pollution, deceptive marketing, and so on.

Not allowing pollution isn't regulation, it's enforcing property rights.

Not allowing deceptive marketing (fraudulent contracts) isn't regulation, it's enforcing property rights.

If you can't see the difference between regulations and property rights then yeah, opposition to regulations will seem a bit bizarre.
> You could predict a pandemic at some point

Okay so the pandemic was predictable and it was predicted. I'm not interested in semantics quibbling if you want to say it wasn't predictable, I'm interested in the contradiction between claims that the pandemic was not predictable and yet other similarly hard to predict things are predictable.
Using a throwaway account.

I was diagnosed with Ulceritive Colitis about 2 years ago. Took all sorts of medication. All the docs I consulted told me diet has nothing to do it and its just my body developing auto-immune symptoms. My symptoms be came severe to the point I was having bloody stools (lots of blood) few times a day and I could not walk more than few mins.

Decided to quit my work. Took few courses on Biology. Specifically on or related to: Physiology, Brain, Harmones, Cell and Gut. Read about 20 or so books on Gut, Food and Pharma (trying to understand how it evolved and the ecomonic models, how the FDA is the single boss of both the cop (Health Industry) and the con (Food Industry)). Started experimenting with foods and logging results in a food diary. Got the tests done for Food Intolerances. Avoided foods that are causing food intolerances. Avoided too spicey foods and non-veg food: Mutton, Chicken, Fish and Eggs. Taking a lot of fiber rich foods: Gourds and switched to millets (its traditional indian grains). Taking Marshmellow root and ginger tea two times a day. Eating Millet Porridge for almost two months now. Taking help from a nutrionist and functional medicine expert to make sure I am eating a balanced diet and meeting the nutrition requirements of my body.

Happy to let you all know, after what it felt like an endless suffering, I am back to healthy life and have not noticed blood in stools for past 3 weeks. I am getting better and better. Time between my flare ups has been increasing gradually. can walk for hours at a stretch. I see a path to beating my gut problems.

I switched to Windy from Ventusky and I'm liking the way they present the data.
Yeah. As confusing or bad the writing and dialogue in this movie got, that was never new to the franchise, the sequels had plenty of that. But what doomed this one was the lack of good action, some of it was truly bad. I understand that Lana is much older now and likely doesn't want to do the "hire a comic book artist to storyboard each scene in excruciating detail to make it perfect" ordeal anymore, the stars are much older and not as action-capable as they used to be, and that the pandemic probably troubled the production terribly. But the action scenes look incomprehensible at times (the train), with utterly mediocre CGI (the lake house), just horrid angles and motion (the finale at night).

I would've rather they had just cut out all of that and turned this into a mystery or psychological thriller, instead of trying to force action scenes that just look embarrassingly bad.
In my mind, the point that Soundgarden and Alice In Chains WERE metal bands should be emphasized. I never really bought the idea of grunge as a genre. It definitely was a media stunt that picked up it’s own steam and momentum somehow.

Those rates ignore exposure, testing, and severity differences. Ontario mandated vaccination for high risk work and leisure settings. Mandatory tests are more common in high risk work settings. Elective vaccination and elective testing correlate probably.
I have both experiences. Very broadly speaking, it's code I write for work where I have the "this is terrible" experience (twice something has annoyed me so much I trash-talked it in the team chat, then ran "svn blame" and found I'd written it ~4 years prior), while code for personal projects in general I don't.

I suspect it's having to work around teammates' styles and integrate it my own into it that causes friction at the edges, but I'm not really sure.

That killed my interest in it because I didn't want to see a message movie. I liked the earlier movies because of the Science Fiction and people like Elon Musk asking "Are we living in a simulation?". That's fun. I also watch movies to escape into a couple hours of enjoyable fantasy and get away from daily issues. I couldn't watch "Don't Look Up" for the same reason.
Prescriptivism rarely if ever creates useful linguistic evolution. The concepts have to change before you can stick new labels on them, or at least at the same time. And in this case what's being prescribed does not in fact tighten up any boundaries or "carve reality at the joints" any better than what it's trying to replace.
And CSAM is not really named appropriately named. For example, I am under 18 and have nudes of myself on my phone but there was nobody else involved and no abuse but it would still be lumped together as CSAM.

> Modifying the package to be abusive may technically (legally) be within his rights but is certainly not ethical

Sorry to play devil's advocate here, but who are you to say that the future vision of faker isn't some text being sent repeatedly to the console? One man's feature is another man's DoS attack, and while it's clear here, there are plenty of scenarios just like this where there is no obvious solution. We should just let maintainers do what they want with packages (other than install viruses or crypto-miners), but we shouldn't let them pull or modify old versions. Otherwise everything becomes like SourceForge where the platform itself can "editorially" decide to take over projects for financial gain whenever they feel like it and that behavior becomes normalized.
In the case of Onlyfans I'd imagine you've in violation of someone's copyright when images get passed around.
So here’s my guess on why countries like to assign use-it-of-lose-it “slots”: it’s easiest for the local flagship airline to keep its slots because it can do a short-haul flight wherever.

Meanwhile, Lufthansa has to fly all the way to Elbobia to keep its elbonian slots and has the most incentive to give them up.

> If you want access to digital content without being sued or jailed, just buy it legitimately and don't fucking break the DRM.

I'm not going to go off on how the rest of your reply feels extremely wrong to me, but I will respond to this. What if I bought content legitimately but the DRM prevents me from viewing/using it as I wish? If I buy a book, I can read it in any way I want, I can use glasses or photocopy it so the letters get big enough to read it without discomfort.
I can also tear it apart, replace the order of the pages, or even make a collage with the words if I so wish.

I can't do any of the above with DRM'd content.

Why would you want to live in a reality in which the author of a work can dictate how a copy of their content can be watched or consumed even after the consumer has bought it? Even the reason for copyright itself as stated in the Copyright Act is "to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."

It's supposed to be an incentive for artists to make more works as they have a government-guaranteed monopoly over their creations. That monopoly is intended to incentivize potential artists, not to be a moral guide for what rights they should indefinitely have.
