Yeah, having the code become permissively licensed if the original developer goes out of business seems like a good compromise.

That said, we can't make policy decisions based solely on what leaves one group (in this case, the users of abandoned software) better off in the hypothetical worst case. We need to balance that with what's fair for everyone (particularly upstream authors in this case), ideally avoiding that worst case if possible.
Except when the CDC is saying something, it's on behalf of the federal govt. They're also limited in what they can or can not say because of how they've classified weed.

So, if it's coming from an official US govt source and its about MJ, I'm going to be extremely skeptical of it. If they didn't want this reputation, they can actually go ahead and fix the criminalization now, but they're not. So...they deserve that reputation

> And that's the problem with the proliferation of DEs. Applications, which range from having no developers actively working on them, to the best teams at Microsoft working on them, have to handle yet another DE, and have to deal with the bugs raised by the users of yet another DE, etc.

Ideally, that's what the freedesktop.org specifications help with. You build against the specs and interfaces, and the code should work across DEs that implement specs from freedesktop.org. In my (albeit limited) experience of writing against freedesktop.org specs, it works pretty well.

I'm not a particular fan of Microsoft products, like I said I'm all-in with Apple stuff.

Two things I've wanted to explore with Wordle:

1. Some sense of "par". Can you crawl twitter for everyone's solution tweets and get a sense of the average guesses for the day?
2. "Unwordle". For people who follow the hard-mode rules, how far can you get deciphering their guesses based on their shared color grid? Could you make it competitive between friends to see how well you can guess each others guesses? Would that encourage more creative guesses to trick your friends?
I did.

It's been one of my better decisions. I have so many projects that are 80% complete that I've just been too embarrassed to post.

31 launches is meant to help me get past that fear/hesitation.

> In terms of tooling, there’s excellent tooling for ASN.1 for C and C++ and maybe some other languages. There’s excellent tooling for protobufs for a handful of languages too, but they’re different sets, so in practice what languages you want to use would likely come into play.

In my experience, tooling is actually very good for most commonly-used languages, including C/C++, C#, Java, Python, and maybe even Go. And, of course, erlang. The real challenge is, I think, that you cannot find good free tooling, and the barrier to entry for Joe Developer is fairly high (in the thousands of dollars).
Googling will give you countless lists. The internet solved that problem decades ago.

The biggest problem is when your guessing dictionary contains words that aren’t in the acceptable word list in Wordle. For that, I generate 10 guesses on each turn. At least one of them should show up. I didn’t want to use Wordle’s dictionary because that felt like cheating.

Personally I’m blown away the iPhone video quality. It squeezes an amazing end result out of a tiny lens.

It’s now a surprisingly expensive endeavour to noticeably beat iPhone 4K Dolby Vision HDR.

Something like the Nikon Z9 with a decent prime lens and a stabiliser mount? That’s approaching $10K and is nowhere near as convenient or practical.

Anything less than that and the quality difference just isn’t worth it in my eyes (for home videos at least)
I built a command line wordle solver that provides an updated best guess as the game progresses and you learn more. Right now it's just based on word frequency, but working to add more.

ASN.1 was too broad. There is immense value in a more constrained specification that does not include so many hazardous serialization types and antiquated string formats.

Now, should Protobufs or Thrift simply have been constrained versions of ASN.1? I think there is a view of software engineering where this would have been an ideal outcome, but almost universally when we see too-big standards, they are declared "dangerous" and avoided like the plague before they are downscoped.

College is, overall, cheaper in Japan than in the U.S., but it isn’t free [1]. You might be thinking of some countries in Europe.

The top schools in Japan are indeed quite competitive, but there are also universities that admit almost any high school graduate.

Now some lower-tier private universities are struggling to attract enough students to survive.

Embezzling money.

And no, this is not an opening for some roundabout logic implying slacking off is the same as embezzling wages... you can't come up for a non-harmful explanation for embezzling money: the word literally means "steal or misappropriate".

You can effortlessly do the same for someone slacking, as the comment you replied to did.

> Most managers would expect junior team members to speak out. If it's being addressed, the manager will likely tell you that he or she is aware and its being addressed.

Most managers would expect you to share in terms of how it affects you, not some vague air of "they don't do anything":

So not: "I feel like they always have excuses for doing nothing"

Instead: "I needed X, Y and Z on separate instances from this coworker and was unable to get that"

(Or specific to excuses: "I expected X, didn't get X and they gave excuse Y")

It a good practice to do that anyways since it protects you from potential alienation and/or embarrassment if it turns out your idea of "them doing nothing" is dead wrong.

Mentally: It’s actually not that hard, you’re over thinking it. Just do anything else than the thing you don’t want to do. The thing you fall back on is a habit. It is one thing you do over and over, instead of the infinite other things you could otherwise be doing. Recognize in life these fallback habits and do something different. Take the same road to work? Take a different route one day. By breaking habits you open your world to infinite possibilities.

Physically: put your phone in your bedroom or wherever you keep it when you go to sleep. Don’t be in that room till you go to sleep. You break the habit of normally having the phone with you all the time. See what happens when it’s not.

> Is this really the main difference between ASN.1 and Google protobufs, that one is managed by a private corporation and the other by a standardization organization? Can they otherwise be used "interchangably" in designing interfaces, a la two different programming languages (with different syntax of course)?

No, the two are not interoperable and probably won't be made that way. Protobuf has undergone changes that challenge its backwards-compatibility (e.g., with item presence). ASN.1 supports multiple encoding rules, and while it's possible that someone could map ASN.1 syntax to protobuf encodings, it would only support a subset of ASN.1 because protobuf doesn't support length or value constraints (among other ASN.1 features).

ASN.1 does have a little-used standard called Encoding Control Notation[0] that in principle supports the construction of novel encodings. But I have never seen a compiler, commercial or otherwise, that supports it. It requires a certain expressiveness in your parser that's hard to do right, although I've wondered if LISP or Racket could take it on.

From the circumstances you were describing I'm surprised you were even offered 70%, as it sounds like there was a significant risk those invoices would not get paid. The 95% (or there abouts) is for invoices that will almost certainly be paid on time. Defaulting debts are often sold for cents on the dollar.

> Sounds like you just want to keep using MacOS

This is the essence of the issue.

As someone who started on PCs running Windows and Linux for decades, I moved to MacOS for work because it's a zero config Unix based system with a productive and ergonomic desktop environment. I don't have an inherent bias towards Apple/MacOS and currently no longer use it (though I have an old x86 MacBook I use when not working on my desktop)

It was always an issue that I was not able to use my existing PC to run MacOS due to Apple's restrictive license model and since Apple's move to proprietary hardware (M1), I have abandoned MacOS.

I am actively polling various Linux variations to see if something offers me the same level of productivity but am using Windows+Linux within VBox for my work/engineering requirements in the meantime.

So it's not that I want to keep using MacOS specifically, it's that I need to use a Unix based operating system that has the polish, usability and stability of MacOS.

I respect that the Linux ecosystem is maintained by volunteers and I have as much opportunity as anyone to contribute (and I have been trying to contribute by submitting QA tickets to the Gnome project). That said, I would be more than happy to pay a substantial annual license fee for a Linux experience that rivals that of MacOS.

EDIT:

> All of that should be more or less easy to tweak on Linux

A lot of this functionality simply does not exist on Linux. With multi monitor setups, virtual desktops scroll on both screens. Gnome 4 is the first DE to pseudoreplicate MacOS's model.

Screenshots and screen recordings are close but lack the nuance of MacOS (and Windows) that make them valuable. For instance no DE offers the ability to draw notes on a screenshotted area, copy the modified version to clipboard (rather than save a file). There is also no way that I know where you can create an mp4 video of a selected area of the screen as easily as you can take a screenshot.

This is invaluable for me as I like to send detailed representations of bugs, with screenshots, notes and videos. Really helps when working remotely or contributing to something like Gnome.
It's interesting how little this forum respects social science results due to the reproducibility crisis. Except when it tickles our brains via confirmation bias.
Dick Tracy might have been the best comic book film of the 90s; I thought it was quite well done, and where it failed it mostly failed by being true to its source material.

What is its competition; Judge Dredd? Captain America(1990)? The 90s Batman sequels? Now that I wrote this, I realize Blade was also a comic originally, but I liked Tracy better.
>Normalization is a tool like anything else. You can’t make absolute statements about it.

That's exactly my point. I specifically said that normalization is independent of optimizations, it might help, it might not. It was specifically in response to your absolute statement about normalization being critical to performance, and I quote:

>Normalization is a performance optimization.

Emphasis taken directly from your quote.

Normalization has very little to do with optimization and it's one of the least cited reasons (if cited at all), for doing it.
I heard somebody in a programming video say recently that Clojure wasn't a Lisp. I'm learning about Lisp (Lisp -> Scheme, Scheme -> Common Lisp, Scheme -> Racket) so I googled "Is Clojure a Lisp" and ended up on this link. It was posted a long time ago on HN, but I like because it's written in a confrontational style that has since passed out of fashion, at least in most places. I agree with some of his points about Clojure.

Reading a book might be a good switch: instead of scrolling you are turning the pages. Now it becomes tiring because it requires holding focus.

More-or-less agreed, yep, it's a tricky problem. To compare with technical solutions, I guess the options available are things like namespaces, lexical scoping, or (bleh) more verbose variable naming; perhaps something along those lines could be helpful.

GTK is written in C, not JS.
That is because "the majority" of users are very often not in a position to be able to judge why they should care nor even know what they are missing. E.g. if all one uses on their brand new Mac is Electron or other lowest-common-denominator apps and web apps and they never take advantage of something like Services then they wont even know what that menu is about - and these applications wont even teach them about it.

At that point the Mac becomes just an expensive, sleek looking device running an OS with a fancy theme that you but might as well replace with a similar looking fancy device running Windows or GNOME - there is no real reason to use it beyond being fashionable or as a status symbol akin to some clothing and accessory brands.
I mean I agree child sex is bad. I also agree incest is bad.

But there were societies that promoted both and still kept existing. Just because I have a set of social norms, caused by my upbringing, doesn't mean I get to judge people that had different upbringing.

---

Let me clear some things. Pedo content 99 times out of 100, isn't literal child rape. Hell, there isn't any sex at all (actual scenes of sex get you 18+ rating so anime and manga would avoid actual depictions since you narrow the audience). If there are any such scenes where an older person has involuntary sex with a younger person, they are depicted as vile and heinous acts.

It's usually just minors* having sex with other minors with both parties agreeing. It's usually not depicted as actual non-consensual sexual acts.

So where is the child rape? Well, in the details, i.e. consent. See my comment about apparent age. It gets into squicky territory quickly.

* - One of the minors or both might have different apparent age than actual age.
Nice info. A days lag would be better, or instant! I think a month would give them plenty of time to dodge the crash. Like happened in 2020.
Imo real time is not enough, but it is a solid bare minimum requirement. If private executives have to schedule and declare their company equity trades months and months ahead of time, why do we let the government officials off the hook with just real time?

I am not proposing the same “months and months ahead” rules for politicians, because for private executives that restriction applies only to the equity of their own companies (while for congress it would be for all companies). But what about a day ahead? I think that’s reasonable to make government officials to declare their trade a day ahead. After all, unless it is some specifically-timed trade based on insider info, why would it matter? It is just a single day.

But i would also be ok with “declared a day ahead to SEC, with the trade info being automatically released to the public the second it happens” (basically, same as real-time, but with an extra safeguard). Mostly proposing this one, because I am concerned that knowing their trades ahead of time publicly might introduce unwanted side effects.
