but i don't think this is correct. AFAICT, this is a keep-alive mechanism, not a timeout. I don't think openssh has an option to kill idle sessions.

Totally. My issue with the LoTR fight scenes is that they don't look natural. The lighting is all off because they want to show everyone's face all the time. It ended up feeling very ... flat. (Putting aside the constant banter of Legolas/Gimli keeping score that made it seem like a joke, and every monster having to scream into the camera that also made if feel corny.)

The palatable answer in this community would basically be: robust UBI.

If people don't have to sell their creative work for profit to live, you don't need copyright.
You could say the same for game consoles and yet people are okay with those being closed systems because you can choose between different brands.

I don't like Apple's business practices either, but labels like monopoly and "rent"ing a device have clear definitions and Apple doesn't hit them. If anything this is a failure of regulations to catch up to the reality of technology.

The focus in the future should be mandating things like repair and interoperability.

> You can't use a different operating system on your iPhone if it would be rendered useless to you by Apple.

This is not true. First, all apps already installed are not automatically uninstalled just because they've been pulled from the store, you just stop getting updates. Secondly, even if Apple completely drops all app support for your phone, it does not make it "useless". The phone still does all of the basic functions it was advertised to do. Having a device get new features in the form of apps is not required, it's a nice to have. At best you maybe could make an argument for misleading advertising if any launch features were gone (see PlayStation otheros) but Apple have been very diligent to make sure that's not the case.
Mankind will be fine. Only civilization will collapse, and thousands of species be driven to extinction. The oceans are big and old and can absorb much more than the surface.

The Lovecraftian Deep Old Ones might be unamused by the incursion, but might even welcome it. A little extra acidity along with an influx of oxygen might actually be popular.

Doing nothing is not doing nothing: the natural world near the surface is taking the brunt of carbonic acid contamination. For every creature at the bottom that experiences a change, a million at the top suffer today.
When I did longshoreman for the summer there were but 2 women in the bull pen.

One was a heavier older lady, imagine a burly dinner lady and you’ve probably got her.
The other woman was maybe in her 30s and looked trim, but she had arms gnarled like branches and you could see a six pack through her tshirt.

Mad respect for women who choose a profession like that, but it needs to be a lifestyle and it will consume you. As an untrained man with a normal (assumed) amount of testosterone, my body adapted over two shifts of swinging 70lb metal bars around.

There's always a conflict between leveraging your background and optimizing for what is highest pay currently (unless you're really lucky). Neither direction is a guarantee. Certainly we would like a society where a person who follows the latter policy is always able to succeed at it. It's an important signal for where the need is the highest. At some point (hopefully soon..) society will have way too many real estate agents again, and it's better if they go where they are needed rather than toughing it out because they think there are no alternatives at their age.
I still think it's better for the average people. It's also frugal oriented. You won't have youtube or google maps but for simple searches or orders I think it was peak. Just give it a speed bump and you're good.

> I don't understand why do we need to have leap seconds. Even if time on Earth moves few minutes back, nobody would notice but astronomers.

Right, and nobody's stopping you from using a sundial instead of a GPS watch if you don't care about high precision timekeeping. And if you do care about high precision timekeeping but hate leap seconds, you can use International Atomic Time (TAI). It all comes down to standardization. You might enjoy reading this:

https://www.nist.gov/pml/time-and-frequency-division/nist-ti...

Basically, standardization is hard. Not just for time, but any measurement (weight, length, etc). How do you absolutely guarantee that an airplane part made in France and the same airplane part made in Brazil are exactly the same dimensions/weight? You need standards. And those standards have slightly changed over time in an effort to achieve higher consistency/future-proofing.

Time is especially difficult because gravity and speed affect time thanks to relativity. So how can you come up with a universally agreed upon definition of "one second"? The current best solution we have is to take a weighted average of 300+ atomic clocks. That's how we define TAI, and by extension, the second. However, people expect noon to be "the time when the sun is at its highest point in the sky". Leap seconds are used to make non-TAI time systems align exactly with the rotation of the earth. Without leap seconds, your local day will slowly drift until (millennia later) "noon" is happening in the middle of the night. And without leap years (which align the planet's orbit around the sun) your seasons will slowly drift for the same reason.
People lie to get out of jury duty especially trials expected to be long and/or shocking.
Kyle's a fried of mine, so I may be a bit biased. But I'm very sympathetic to this kind of license, and fairness is really hard to define, especially in advance. He's actually written separately [1] about exactly how difficult it is.

If you really want to have a concrete definition of fairness, you're ultimately going to need to hire a lawyer to make a specific license. That could simply be an add-on clause to this license that explicitly defines "fair" as a term, and I think that's exactly the kind of plug-and-play license language that Kyle has done some work on in other projects.

That all being said, Kyle is generally very welcoming of (respectful!) feedback, and I think given how much time he's spent thinking about how exactly one can define "fairness", he might enjoy some fresh thoughts about it.

Prestigious schools are seeing record numbers of applications, and record low in acceptance rates. If there is a hit in college attendance, its not happening at the top of the food chain.
Again, this seems counterintuitive to me. If infected, the immune system reacts to foreign bodies. If jabbed, the immune system reacts to foreign bodies. The intention of the shots are to stimulate the same system as a natural reaction, minus the threat of disease. If an individual wouldn’t have a strong response to infection, why would it be any different from a subset of proteins?

Is there academic research on this topic that existed prior to SARS-Cov-2?
The question is if families are getting smaller because parents don’t want more kids or because of regulation[0]. Maybe requiring people to have smaller cars or use public transport would further cut the birth rate.

I’m only half-serious. I know there is good reason for public transport or having smaller cars in urban environments.

I was thinking bidirectional ring bus in my model; indeed if it were unidirectional you'd end up with the same result for all CPUs.

FWIW, the Cell used a bidirectional ring bus network, and it's of the same generation and happens to share technology heritage with the XCPU... (very similar PowerPC core) :-)
I wonder if they still have the in-house expertise to know what in-house expertise they have.
It's still far from optimal though, with that system it is still way too easy to do legal bullying. If you draw out a legal case long enough the coverage of legal expenses for the defendant does matter less and less (still better than not having it, of course!), because the financial pressure can still do permament damage that might not be easily reverted, add to that the intimidation and potential crippling of work/career/brand/profession of the defendant if any of those are part of the legal battle.

Companies can still calculate the costs of losing the case and come to the conclusion that the benefit of the intimidation alone is worth it.
Any word on it having diopter adjustment? It'd be nice to be able to wear this without glasses.

This can have a chilling effect - if you are a legitimately wronged party you still might be hesitant to engage in a legal battle if some technicalities failing to be technicalities could result on you losing everything you've ever earned in life when you get hit with a suit to recover legal fees.

I think we sorta want more proactive and aggressive state attorneys that will prosecute seen injustices for the public good. I've pondered this a lot and I can't really see any obvious other path that doesn't have even worse potential consequences.
You also have to stop emitting CO2. Without, it is pointless, because the surface will just absorb more and acidify again.
I'm pretty sure there will never be The One due to political and psychological factors. Many people use Linux specifically because there's isn't One way to do things.
Of course, but this also applies to all code.

I still remember the time when it was deemed normal, or at least common, to email around diffs and patches in a dev team, or upload everything to the "code server" in little directories with iso-timestamps as names.

Not taking care of code properly, aka. in a VCS, is a disaster, no matter if its C, SQL or utility bash-scripts.
Both of those are bad analogies for different reasons. I will limit myself to US law out of familiarity.

Excluding blondes is prohibited due to the 'protected category', which is sweeping, covering most personal characteristics which are inherent. For a role, and this broadly includes things like waitressing, these limits can be imposed, but not in this sort of general contract.

The problem with some "brother named Mike" contracts is that they're trying to get around some requirement to be general while targeting someone in particular. For most contracts you can in fact say, "anyone can use this except Anish Kapoor, because screw that guy" and that's going to hold up since refusing service or commerce outright to an individual is completely legal.
Likely a stretch goal. But if we notice that it's a big usability deal as opposed to glasses/prescription lenses, we'll put it in the baseline.
But I don't think people with a brother named Mike are a protected class according to the Unruh Civil Rights Act. Those are sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, citizenship, primary language, or immigration status.

That's such a terrible design pattern for games. And it's one of the reasons that I found mmos baffling from the very first moment that they were created.

If a game isn't 100% FUN 100% OF THE TIME then the designers have failed. I shouldn't have to do X amount of things before I'm able to get to the actual game, and if somebody says "well once you get past the first couple hours of the game it starts to get fun."... then I won't even bother.

this is also one of the reasons that I tend to prefer carefully crafted narrative style games (8-10 hour experiences) that are shorter in length then huge open sandbox worlds that you play for hundreds of hours.

Things are already getting quite hairy by page 4[1] of that link. And that example is showing data completely owned by the GObject. If you need to pass a mutable reference to third party data to a GObject it's not going to work in Rust. Imagine a button that you click to change the contents a GtkTreeModel connected to a GtkTreeView--you're going to need to work hard. You're going to write a fair bit Rust specific glue code to work around these issues.

I think the gap is that most startup types don't use stored procedures, so their SQL is committed to version control by default. Few places do migrations to update their database in any way including the stored procedures that also works well. Nothing new, except for those not already doing one of these things.
The Body Keeps the Score is honestly a must-read, but it can be deeply challenging. Reading that book helped me uncover even more childhood trauma that I wasn't really actively processing or recognizing as abuse until then. So it was an extra challenge on top of the trauma I was already dealing with.

And for what it's worth, I also am a SWE, and I also struggle working around men. 90% of the time, the men I work with are awesome, supportive, nice, etc. But the trauma informs that 10% where I feel invalid, not seen, objectified... all that fun stuff. It's challenging and I don't think trauma has ever been brought up as a challenge in the workplace when there's no trauma directly in the workplace, if that makes sense. I certainly haven't directly connected it before this.
Can you please inform yourself?

No shame, I don’t care what people do as long as it doesn’t harm others. People should enjoy their lives.

This is precisely my objection. Time is the one thing you can't make more of, so to have companies force you to learn and maintain a skillset that's completely irrelevant to doing real work is incredibly demoralizing.

I don't know of a solid source, but I've heard anecdotally that computer programming and operation roles in major corporations of the '60s and '70s tended to be dominated by women, partly because the kinds of tabulation and collation that big business wanted were extensions of existing secretarial work, but also for the more immediate practical reason that the average female office worker of the time was far more likely than her male colleagues to already be an experienced typist.
Absolutely. I was talking about what would probably be called "very small businesses," in which I was almost always working directly with the owner. Probably in the range of 5-50 employees. 300bps has an interesting take on the size issue, elsewhere in the comments.

> But I know a lot of people who did 2 years at community college, and then got screwed over by transfer credits enough that they ended up doing 3 years at a normal college

This was the case for me, though I wouldn't classify as being "screwed."

I attended a private tech school, and they were upfront they would not accept credits for any engineering program pre-reqs (Math, Chem, CS, Tech Comm, etc). However, they would accept "humanities" credits an apply them to any electives required for our chosen degree.

Luckily, I had participated in our schools "running start" so I earned those credits while in high school, and my only intention of taking math at the time was to fulfill my highschool math requirements. I did also take 2-years of mandarin, which my school gladly accepted and counted towards my electives.

All that being said, in Washington state, all publicly funded schools must accept all credits from Community Colleges, AND guarantee admission, so if you are a student looking to attend a state school in Washington state, community college is a very attractive route.

Totally agreed, I know of many similar situations like this.. however at the same time the question is whether there’s any other system that’s better in practice.

“Capitalism is the worst system, except for all the others” etc.

You want a controlled trial or natural experiment where two large successful software companies experiment with two different approaches to hiring over a number of years holding all other factors equal. That’s hard but may happen at some point in our lifetimes.

I agree in general but there are a handful of edge cases which Google solved better with IAP: SSM can't forward ports to other hosts or any resource other than EC2. It's great for using SSH, SFTP, even tools like Ansible work fine, but if you need to get a port forward to something like RDS, a service in Fargate, etc. you'll need something else.

I recently took an introductory Latin course and learned that ancient Roman time operated on the same principle. As the days got longer in the summer, so did the absolute length of time encompassed by an hour. Hard to make a sundial to automatically compensate, I imagine.
Among the small share and number of federal defendants who went to trial in fiscal 2018, those who opted for a bench trial – that is, one in which the verdict is handed down by a judge – fared better than those who opted for a jury trial.

How could anyone even really want advancement when we know that finance thrives on predictable cycles.
