A suggestion for all these trap type licenses.

The rule for all these things should instead be - the pricing terms MUST be disclosed UP FRONT and PUBLICALLY - then you can pay those if you exceed a threshold. If they are not available, you will NEVER have to pay as long as you started using software and they had hidden the pricing.

That would solve 90% of these scam issues (no gotchas).
Tons of comments saying it’s none of your business. I disagree.

If you care, you can’t stop caring. You’ll drive yourself nuts watching this coworker continue to be a drag on the company. Either find a new job or swing for the fences and try to make the company better.

I want people at my company who give a damn. If a coworker slacking off is pissing you off, it shows me that you actually care about the company, the product/clients and progress.

If you “mind your own business”, it shows me that you just care about your paycheck.

The questions I’d be asking myself in your position is what is it about the company workflow / accountability structure that allows this to happen? Research better options, put together some ideas. Find out if you like problem solving at that organizational level. If you don’t, then maybe find a new job. If you do, then tactfully look for someone who is successful at the company and seems to share your passion for getting stuff done, even if they’re a level or two above you.

You can try to pitch your ideas to them and it’ll be apparent pretty quickly if they think you’re a godsend or a troublemaker. The Socratic method can be useful, asking questions like: “Why don’t we track individual progress?” Or “Why don’t we use [method from your research] here?”. It’s a less hostile way to approach the problem through curiosity and people will send you political signals like: “Oh, I tried that before and Bob put his foot down.” Or, “Wow, you sound just like Sally. I bet she’d like to talk to you about that.” Sometimes these problems are political rather than organizational.

Even just asking questions to your superiors shows that you care and will probably get you some bonus points, unless you’re at a really crappy company where everyone is doing their best to skate by and those who aren’t skating by are persecuted.

The most aggressive approach that might work is anonymizing them and simply saying: “I really want this company to achieve [company goal] and I’m worried that we’re not all working efficiently enough to make that happen.” Or, “I’m really needing more support from [other department] in order to deliver on [your commitment].” You might be asked for details and names, which is kind of a point of no return. Action will probably be taken towards you or them.

Anyway, there’s a chance you ruffle some feathers, but there’s also a chance you draw some positive attention.

Or you can keep your head down like others are suggesting, but the fact that you care this much, I doubt you’ll be able to continue to do it without stifling your own ambition to make the company better, and why would you want to do that?
This sounds like you're describing an evil AI rather than a bunch of humans. I think a simpler explanation might be that they either don't understand that youtube-dl isn't a threat to them, or that OC is wrong and it actually is a threat in some way. I don't think they're sitting at a board room table saying "We cannot let them have freedom, we must control everything they do".
> people need a meaning for life

I disagree. People say this, but it's really not true in my experience. Most people are actually just... going with it, to be honest. And they're often happy. There doesn't need to be a deep philosophical "search for meaning".
This is true and also mostly unhelpful. It's possible to build a car without a muffler. Does that mean it happens often enough that we need to dedicate a whole pooh-pooh session to the possibility? Is a manufacturing process not more likely to be useful if it prevents this error from ever occurring?
Somehow you found a way to advocate for kindness and empathy while still coming off as a bit of a jerk... it's kind of impressive actually. The little brag about the size of your paycheck was a nice touch.
Rust 1.58 format strings
I'll just mention, because it hasn't been mentioned before: this is obviously wrong... We all know that it's wrong, but saying it has some symbolic meaning, right?

Because to find a counterexample you would only need a single artist who has the opportunity to spend more of their time working creatively (rather than their previous civilian job) because they get a royalty cheque every now and then. I personally know four of five such people.
did you really just compare the two
That's out of line and I'd appreciate an apology.

I was simply pointing out the most politically hot topic that such a risk assessment would run into, but if you prefer to put class first that is your prerogative. Of course, with even a small amount of research you might find that these issues tend to collide and ethnicity is what gets talked about the most. You might also find out that the disparate rate of repayments between ethnicities is perhaps the leading issue for those who favor debt forgiveness, many of whom frame it as a civil rights issue [0][1][2][3].

That said, it's perhaps a moot point because Biden's not forgiving anything, and the way things are looking I don't imagine Congress will any time soon either.

My perspective is skewed by several friends who made it HUGE by joining unicorns at the right time.

My network is literally filled with senior developers who are earning $5M+ a year from the successful IPOs of 2020/2021, most after having been there less than 3 years. Crazy stuff.

From that perspective, a FAANG growing 30% yoy looks like a risk-free rate of return :-)
The ‘Mother of All’ Supply Shocks Lurks in China’s Covid Crackdowns
In Australia circa late 1980s I had a friend come down with ME (same group of conditions as MS) due to the decision of the parents to spray pesticides in the family home. I believe the American chemical company selling the "safe" chemicals settled out of court.

People, remember: pesticides are generally highly potent nervous system poisons. They are therefore most dangerous to young children owing to their developmental stage. Where feasible, feed young kids organic food and keep them away from all forms of pesticide. Risk lessens greatly in adults.
All of that was greatly improved over time. Centrifugal pump was taken by von Braun from fire engines, boundary level cooling wasn't as good as transpirational cooling, and regenerative cooling was with little supports, which required thick and strong fire wall, so they only could use 70% ethanol.

Still - hats off to the pioneers. It's always pretty hard.
Sure, bait and switch is bad. I wasn't defending that.
> Golang never hears the end of it for valueing simplicity and readability over complex features and "cleverness"

Hah, similar story here but biomedical engineer with physics & EE minors instead. I wouldn't say that at 17 our brains were too underdeveloped, but that without real world experience there was too much we didn't understand -- that our universities are training more qualified applicants than there are jobs for our fields, so companies can have their pick of the litter. And I sometimes see people talk about university as a path to scholarship, professorship, tenure, etc.. and that kind of discussion is so foreign to me because even when I was in school 10 years ago it was very obvious that those positions were too competitive, so the school was training us for industry instead.

But when you're that age, it's impossible to weigh the economics of how many MRI / CT / medical imaging engineering positions are going to be available when you graduate in 4 years, vs how many other fresh grads will be applying for them. The only thing you know is that if you diverge from the path expected of you too much, the other fresh grads will have a competitive advantage over you so you just have to take the gamble that what you're studying will be employable.
Source available doesn't mean that you can't do anything with the code, it usually means that there are limitations (e.g. sharing it) with what you can do with it.

There are a lot of cases where "source available" expects you to modify the code and even share patches with others. A popular example nowadays would be Unreal Engine 4, but it isn't anything new - Borland's OWL was distributed as source code and you need a license to use it (it is part of C++ compilers so any of their compilers would provide a license), but over the decades there have been improvements made by its users in the form of OWLNext that is meant to be installed "on top" of OWL (ie. wont work by itself).
> Mac are not friendly to a developer. And they never were. The only reason why developer use them is because they need to program on iOS and thus need XCode (that is a terrible IDE) and the iOS toolchain.

That's just wrong on so many levels. The majority of developers using Mac don't touch Xcode at all.
This strategy seems to avoid words that Wordle will accept, while not choosing them as word-of-the-day, e.g. SERAI.

If your goal is to minimize the number of remaining words in the worst case, I think SERAI is the winner, leaving you with at most 697 choices. [Assuming my code is right]
>Does anyone have a guess as to how a vote by Congress to authorize OSHA vaccine mandates would fair?

If I understand correctly, S.J. Res 29 [1] is a senate resolution that answers this exact question. Looking at the voting result [2], 2 Democrats voted YAY (ie expressing disapproval of the mandate) along with some Independents and all Republicans. This leads me to believe that a similar rule would not pass the Senate. Although there could be more to the story, eg I don't know the motivation that the two Democrats had when voting YAY, especially given at least to my understanding this kind of vote is more symbolic than anything.

Yeah, gravitational time dilation is about 1e-16 seconds per metre of elevation near the surface http://leapsecond.com/great2016a/index.htm so Boulder is about 1e-13 fast. The rotation of the earth is stable to about 1e-9 http://leapsecond.com/ten/ which is also about the same as the rate difference between UT1 and UTC (0.2 ms / 86400).
I do wonder if there could be a gap where the credentials are scoped down, but the service does have broader access because other users have made recent requests if the metric is just did a user request something from S3 (most do).

Or is the scope down to request for X object by Y customer, which is then signed / token attached by IAM, valid for a little bit. That would reduce radius a lot.

Kind of bummed they hyped this one because the Glue one is more interesting to me an a more credible route I thought.

The experience of colour is a fact about the brain, yes, which is additional to the knowledge of colour. A very simple system - a camera - can have knowledge of colour without the experience of colour. We say that something "knows" it is seeing the colour red if we can identify a part of the abstract world-model that is instantiated in that thing, such that the part is activated (for whatever "activated" means of that world-model's structure) iff the input to the world-model is red. I say that something "experiences" the colour red if additionally that world-model has a structure similar enough to my own that the "activated" part of the model has a direct analog in my own mind; and something "experiences" to a greater or lesser degree depending on how close the analogy is.

Of course I don't know whether anyone else "experiences" the colour red ("is my red the same as your red?"), but from the way people behave (and from knowledge of science) I have lots of evidence to suggest that their world-models are similar to mine, so I'm generally happy to say they're experiencing things; it's the most parsimonious explanation for their behaviour. Similarly, dogs are enough like me in various physical characteristics and in the way they behave that I'm usually happy to describe dogs as "experiencing" things too. But I would certainly avoid using the word "experience" to describe how an alien thinks, because the word "experience" is dangerously loaded towards human experience and it may lead me to extrapolate things about the alien's world-model that are not true.

Mary of Mary's Room therefore does gain a new experience on seeing red for the first time, because I believe there are hardcoded bits of the brain that are devoted specifically to producing the "red" effect in human-like world-models. She gains no new knowledge, but her world-model is activated in a new way, so she discovers a new representation of the existing knowledge she already had. The word "experience" is referring to a specific representation of a piece of knowledge.
"Source available" was also common in earlier Unix systems, e.g. an once popular image viewer called "xv" was basically a shareware program distributed as source code. People even wrote patches for it.
I was hoping this would discuss how he chooses which features to build. Unfortunately, that is not what this is.

It is a description of a pretty rigorous development workflow, but I think it will mostly only be useful to people who want to contribute code to Simon's projects.
ASN.1 is extremely complicated and hard to implement correctly. All ASN.1 implementations I've seen are either specialized (know how to work only with a very specific message), or slow, buggy and expose equally complicated APIs. Modern systems like protobufs tend to use much simpler encodings & specs which are easier to understand and implement correctly.

Why? Whatever you install is likely to have issues with similar impact.
> Yet Another Account makes an app worse.

That's an argument against having to sign up to use something, not against that you don't have to install something...

> Web apps usually only lets you share within the app. You can't use the data in ways not imagined by the developers, and you force the app onto those you want to collaborate with.

Sometimes, that's true yeah. But sometimes, they offer APIs. Semantic Web tried to connect websites with each other even more. If not, they tend to be trivial to scrape. I think what the author is aiming for though, is that because it's not an native app, anyone with access to a browser, can usually access the application too.

> Not really, no. It usually makes me worried the developers will pull the rug out under me.

Indeed this is one of the biggest drawbacks and benefit of the web. It always moves forward, but it always moves forward, even when I don't want it to. There is nothing worse than a redesigned web application that is worse than it's predecessor, which tends to happen a lot.

We need something in-between. Something that maybe defaults to always being on the latest version, but when the user wants, allows them to use an older version. Just like native applications (mostly) do.

I think the problem with your suggestion is it ignores fulfillment. Yes if you simply watch Netflix, relax, and socialize you will be happy. However, If that's the only thing you do besides a job you don't enjoy; You might often question what you're doing with your life. The correct answer is you need to find an appropriate mix of "good" things and "bad" things to do in your free time. What that exact mix is will be different for each individual.

Is it wrong for me to be automatically averse to anything from the man who brought Twitter to the world?
Well, no. Normalization benefits DynamoDB too, if you understand the nature of the database. It’s all a spectrum.

In the last year my team did a lot of iterating on our DynamoDB schema and eventually just re-discovered normalization.

From what I can tell the benefit of databases like DynamoDB is that you can shard your workload over many hosts mostly transparently. So you get the benefit of more resources than fit in one box. But it’s not magic and you pay the price in other areas, such as hot partitions, and implementing join logic in your application.

Also Postgres is the subject at hand and is relational so normalization is an unavoidable design decision.

Said another way normalization is a fundamental concept to modeling data in general. It might even be the fundamental question. You have to balance your requirements to arrive at an answer.
yeah neither will the skill trade. make sure you go all in.
The study showed that CDBA binds to the spike protein in the lab. I think it is an overreach to say this proves CDBA will prevent Covid. It may very well be able to but it has definitely not been proven by a double blind clinical trial.

I really like the "hard" version of Wordle better where you can only guess clues which make sense given the clues. It seems more in the spirit and although there may be 26 ideal starting words it would be very hard to memorize the set list of words that could be the best guesses as a result.
> If you produce consumer software, growth is a must to finance that

That's not true. You need to be profitable in order to finance the expenses, yes, but you don't need growth beyond that, unless you're aiming for something more. Fast growth is not the only way to finance something, and if you're aiming to build something long-term, fast growth is actually working against you.
