Someone paying a lot of money for something doesn't appear to be a good argument for establishing a property interest for the people who paid such funds. I'm unclear what interest society has in protecting fonts. It seems like people will pay for the creation of more fonts than society can ever consume without the benefit of any such protection meaning society has no interest in extending any property interest despite any artistic merit or worth of such efforts.

At least movies cost millions of dollars and presumably we as a society will get more books if authors don't also have to make french fries. What protection do fonts need?
Sure, they hold the copyright. What I question is weather they have the code. Both are needed to do anything with it. If they dont have the code its beneficial to find that out - then if/when someone finds a copy you've got half of what's needed, and that's bargaining power.

This is all rather petty for some obsolete software, but never underestimate a company response to interest in something they thought had no value.
Very cool projects. I love how the original game had debug menus, and the newly–written renderer (which uses opengl) _also_ has debug menus (looks like it’s based on Dear ImGui, but I haven’t looked at the code yet).

Microsoft might completely upend their entire leadership eventually, but the easiest way to kill a merger between publicly traded companies (in which a majority of shareholders from both companies must approve) is to announce sweeping leadership changes the same day as the acquisition announcement.
It is now. It was not when I posted the comment. The last bullet point there was "Primitive", so the author has added a few.
I'd be fine with no gun permit needed so long as the gun never is within shooting distance of public property.
GOOL-level code used to be maybe not common, but also not uncommonly implemented in some form of a lisp (these days it's pretty much all Lua). Naughty Dog continued using Lisp for those purposes at least throughout Uncharted series.

There are some indie games done in Lisp, including at least one small Visual Novel released on Steam and another currently in development (2d platformer called "Kandria").

Several games, both indie and not, used Lisp as development tool - this includes games like "What Remains" (hn link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20930986 ) as well as numerous tools used IIRC at Nintendo.
As they should. The simple solution is to raise the costs to make freight delivery profitable through what is now apparently lawless California. Each Californian served by this route should have to pay a California surcharge to pay for insurance and the cost of reshipping when a train robbery occurs.

Or you know, California could just enforce the law. But the people have voted and spoken.
Stick with it. I had the same experience but things will get better in 3 months
One thing that gives me hope is that the actual language designers have the right view on it, and I think are guiding the community in the right direction without explicitly condemning the way a lot of things are currently done (which would be a political nightmare).

For instance, records are a step away from mindless getters and setters - but rather than just add the syntactic sugar of properties, they introduced immutability as well.
I just bought one on my local Amazon version by searching "CO2 meter". While true numerical accuracy is "who knows", on rest/full ventilation it shows 400PPM and blowing at it (even gently) shows the CO2 increases drastically, as expected, so I'm happy with it.
It doesn't even matter if you can calculate multiplayer equilibrium. It's not the solution the same way it is in heads-up. You can still lose if you employ the equilibrium in multiplayer unlike in HU.
That article only says Sharon (who was only a part of the government) opposed occupation, and even then was quiet about it. Also the article is completely unsourced.
How do they estimate megaton equivalent? Just evaluating damage can known soil material?
There are very few chain grocery stores, drug stores, etc. in Detroit. There is a Whole Foods down Woodward avenue, near where the city is being rebuilt. Many of the local small mom and pop grocery stores have large pylons preventing you from taking the shopping carts away. All of the buildings have large iron bars on the windows.

You can always say "the rich company/people have insurance, so what", but that's missing the point. The point is, the economic core of the city largely left when they got fed up with the unrest, the lack of safety, etc. They left for and built up the suburbs around the city.

Now, the city leaders have been working with local investors (Illich and other groups) to turn desolation back into a productive tax base. To attract people to live and work there.

From what my wife (Detroit/Michigan native) tells me (escapee from NY), they moved out after the riots/unrest in 1967.

Cities get hollowed out when you can't guarantee safety. Businesses leave. Families leave. Your economic base flows elsewhere.

The folks at UP (my FIL/BIL worked there for many years) have a reasonable request of LA. Please make it safe for us to do business. The DA of LA appears to be following some other agenda, atypical of what one might expect of a DA. The end result will be (and likely is now), that LA will start slowly bleeding out as businesses and people come to the realization that their interests and concerns are not being addressed by local government.

In the case of Detroit, this hollowing out had another side effect, the effective capture of the political class by corrupt pols and other criminals. It took, arguably, 45 years, before they elected someone who actually worked for the people, and wasn't feathering their own nest. Many city council members leave by going to prison, only recently has that trend changed.

If you want that outcome for your city, have extreme unrest, coupled with lawlessness, an inability to pursue and prosecute criminals. You provide pressure for businesses to give up on you, as they did in Detroit. People leave when their small businesses move. Large companies close up shop and don't return.

I arrived here slightly after the nadir. I love Detroit, the architecture is amazing, the people resilient, the attitude ... one of never giving up. Detroit versus everyone.

But the pain that they went through to get there.

Take them as an object lesson, of the combination of ethical corruption, failed government, and criminal capture. You don't want to experience this. You really, really don't.
A side note. I have been fascinated by NWN Toolset since its release. I wonder if we ever get a chance to look at the full pic of the scripting language. There are some reaearches online though.
An ability to distinguish between illegal and legal immigrants as well as local and national elections is exactly the sort of thing that voters should be well-informed about.

Honestly, this lack of ability demonstrated in your comment nullifies most of the ranting you have built up afterwards. I suggest you seriously examine how much of a "pressure head" of resentment you have built up based on these equivalents of software bugs. Running a linter over your other assumptions might also help a bit.
Just because we all can think of millions of examples of humans acting terribly doesn’t mean we are vindicated in judging the character of hundreds of millions of people on the behaviors shown in videos of people on what is likely the worst day of their life.
I think the point is taxpayers were already required to report this income and pay respective taxes. Getting a 1099 makes it easier, not harder.
> ASLR is arguably the most important mitigation in preventing exploitation of memory corruption, and most other mitigations rely on it on some level to be effective.

Hmm, not entirely sure I would agree. ASLR can help, sure, but ASLR isn't really that great in the context of other bugs (I guess this could be reworded as "it costs you one extra bug"). That said, Zoom should absolutely be using it, since it's so cheap.
With the rewrite and map blocks it is maybe a little easier for you to write fewer if statements….

I think this article could have done a better job explaining the underlining data structures, which would have then given the readers much better intuition why this can actually work, and when.

In a nutshell, a table can be:

- Heap-based: the rows are in the unordered "heap", with any number of indexes (B-trees) pointing to them physically (by holding the row's physical address).

- Or clustered (aka. index-organized): the rows are in a primary/clustered index (B-tree), with any number of secondary indexes (also B-trees) pointing to them logically (by holding the copy of the primary key).

Fetching a row through any index in a heap-based table, or any secondary index in a clustered table, requires a separate step: physical heap access in the former case, or a clustered index seek in the later.

So...

- if you are using a heap-based table,

- or using a clustered table where pagination order differs from the clustering order

...then it makes sense to avoid the price of fetching the entire row for those rows that you are going to discard anyway. You just scan the index that matches the pagination order until you reach the correct page, and only then start fetching the rows.

It's still "offset" pagination, but can be much faster in practice than the naive implementation (for later pages).

OTOH, if you are paginating in the clustering order, then there is no separate step for fetching the row, so this method would be unlikely to bring any benefit.

A DBMS with a decent query planner should be able to do this kind of optimization automatically, through "predicate pushdown". But it may still be a good idea not to rely on it and make things blindingly obvious to the planner by structuring the SQL as shown in the article.

---

BTW, "cursor pagination" is also known as "keyset pagination" or "seek method". Curiously, actual database cursors can be used for pagination, assuming very tight transactional coordination between client and server (and very nasty consequences if that's lacking), but that's different from the "cursor pagination" as mentioned in the article.
There are many significant findings about the atypical anatomical and neurological development of people diagnosed with ADHD. For example, parts of our brains seem to be smaller [1] and there appears to be less blood flow to the prefrontal regions of our brains [2]. It's well known that our ability to utilize and regulate dopamine efficiently is not on par with our peers - this is why someone with ADHD responds quite differently to stimulants than a neurotypical person does. Otherwise there seems to be various genes associated with ADHD, though that area of research is young. The same can be said with autism.

The pathogenesis of ADHD isn't completely understood, but hard evidence of consistent anatomical, neuronal, and chemical differences is only increasing. There is something real happening without much doubt - the task now is to figure out what and why.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you when you say social construct, though. I'm not sure if you mean "ADHD isn't real" or "It's a bucket we throw similar types of disorders into". If you mean the latter, I'd agree - I wouldn't be surprised if in 10-15 years we see that sub types can be distinctly identified in some way. I have no idea if at that point we'll need to overhaul these categorizations, but, I suspect we will at least understand the pathology better.

Everything I've read is he's only still in charge until the merger completes. Big sales like this don't happen overnight. ABK is keeping him in charge because MS doesn't own them yet. Once they do, it sounds like it's going to get split up into individual segments directly reporting to MS' gaming CEO.
This sounds exactly like me when I started my job and I was a month in. All I can say is it gets better. Give yourself some months to get more familiar with the way things are done and learn about the code.
In the 9th Circuit, there's precedent that buying a book, cutting up each of those pages, and then selling them individually is derivative work. The 2nd Circuit believes that's precluded by First Sale Doctrine.

(I think most people would agree that the 9th Circuit's decision is wrong, though, but it remains binding precedent in that circuit.)
Concur. I had also always heard of it as “IL7” when I worked in IL1 & 6. An aside, the balcony & gamesroom in IL2 was a nice little escape for an afternoon beverage as well.

This sounds like concern trolling.

What happens if, when you're upgrading your new right-to-repair laptop, you leave some wires sticking out of the battery and fry yourself, and then sue the laptop maker?

Indeed, what happens when you fry yourself repairing the ur-right-to-repair device, the light fixture with a removable lightbulb?

You can invent any scenario for any machine or device that the user can repair, but it should be fairly straightforward to add language that says "if you modify the device's behavior in such a way that it harms you, that's not our fault."
I think this is probably a fair assessment.
I don't think you can justly punish people for an unquanitifiable "group harm" with regards to speech

You could easily use such a justification to ban anti-war speech (something that has been done before), or ban speech against whatever you favorite political view is
It is, but it’s also likely a consequence of increasing disposable income. These appliances are also much cheaper (as a percent of income) than they used to be.

They went from “major purchase that should last a decade” to “we’ll get a new one if this breaks”.
Upon which we found out that not supporting Linux on the PS3 slim from the get go "because they wanted to focus on games and it was too much effort" was a lie - turns out there was almost nothing extra that needed to be done for it to work on that model too, once the hacks were in place.

Both adenovirus and mRNA vaccine platforms were flouted for their capacity to adapt on the fly to new variants. And here we are boosting for the same original strain seen over 2 years ago. Yes if you throw everything but the kitchen sink at the virus, something will stick, but that certainly doesn’t seem like a very effective measure for the long term (and as demonstrated by the already diminishing returns, improbable)
I suspect this (Apple employees contributing individually) is still often the case. Apple is all over the place on their general attitude towards open source, but they’re notoriously extremely secretive. About almost everything that isn’t in a press release, curated announcement or publication, or required by law. Loudly proclaiming their investment in open source, without some corresponding PR goal, is essentially free tea leaves for people to speculate about What They’re Building In There.

I’m likewise sure there are some handshake agreements between many open source maintainers and Apple-paid contributors to just… not spill those beans.
More powerful than most bombs
So I should pay more than 50% in taxes? If the California+federal tax rate was 35% for me or something I could have already retired. I think I distribute my income fairly and I can't even vote in this country even though I am a permanent resident and pay taxes like every other American.

The problem is the government is an inefficient black hole of money, I also pay around 3k in rent but live in a nice neighborhood but the only way to do that in San Francisco that I'm aware of is by renting a 8k condo with roommates. I have an activist history in Argentina but after about a year of trying to find a group that's doing something I feel identified with in San Francisco to tackle what I believe are the cities problems, the only groups I found have basically been getting a decent salary from the government for them and their friends and whatever is they are doing is clearly not working. I don't want to start naming names and discussing policy because it just doesn't go anywhere. I just really really really don't think this is an income distribution problem, it looks like one, I believed it was that three years ago, I tried to understand it better and do something, and now I think it's not. It's that "the homeless" are the justification for a useless bureaucracy that's in the best case not really changing anything and in the worst is going to make it worse in the long term, all by living off half of every software engineers income that we are already forced to redistribute.
Wine 6 works on M1 macs with 64-bit binaries.

I know that PioSolver is not a "poker AI" per se, but the article seems to say it can tell you what to do based on the table situation. Has anyone tried pitting pro players against PioSolver?
I suspect advertising might actually sometimes be a moderating effect in that sites/networks occasionally clean up their act to retain major advertising partners. Not great on the whole, but might be one meagre positive.
No, its a personal one.
You understood the problem backwards. How do you give out actual, real, global root, without taking away the ability to do arbitrary namespaces?
Is that why stock trading and memecoins skyrocketed during the period where stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment benefits were rolled out? Or why video games reached record player counts during the pandemic (sure sounds like people who had nothing to do all day decided to play video games instead of do whatever productive thing you think they would have done!)?

And to add on to that - what makes you think UBI simply won't cause rents to go up to match? We have strong evidence from the current inflation situation that broad based wage gains get eaten up by price increases of goods with limited supply (i.e. the housing situation in every coastal city). Existing UBI experiments aren't widespread enough to materially shift the housing market. You can't go off evidence from giving a few hundred people extra money. And basic economics tells us that oligopolies (the rental market in coastal cities) extract all consumer surplus (the UBI money) because an oligopoly is not a properly functioning market.
this is one reason I did care about them squashing the next big spending bill. It shoudl be split up into smaller bills so they can't hide as much pork and invasions of privacy like this crazy new law (from OP).
Good idea. Some streamers don't keep vods up and one guy i like is that streamer. I'll check it out and if i have any feedback i'll let you know
Have you considered returning it and buying a different one? There are plenty of treadmills out there without this user hostile nonsense that would make better use of your purchase money.

As a total aside, I bought a treadmill last year and turned it into a walking desk as part of my WFH setup. I wasn't sure how much I would use it, but holy cow I love it!
That is just people filling unmet existing demand and has nothing to do with the automation. They would have done that anyway if it paid as well or better.

Automation kills jobs. We know this because the businesses paying for it understand TCO. And even though higher paying jobs are "created" in the form of robot builders and maintainers, there are fewer of those needed than are replaced. So even if the TCO was the same, there would be strictly fewer man-hours worked with automation.
I really like that you got to do this, and that you turned your weaknesses into such a great strength. Thank you for showing that you don’t need to be exceptional in a specific area to do exceptional work. Best of luck with whatever you decide to pursue next.
Do something small, submit on your timesheet, and then ask for feedback. If they don't like it, it's just a couple hours, so less of a big deal than a couple days or weeks of work.

If you ask your boss for feedback on what's possible to submit on a timesheet, I'm pretty sure you're guaranteed a response.
>Imagine how popular buying things would be if people actually had to read those agreements.

If you ever wondered why your elders are such sticks in the mud on this sort of thing, that is exactly why. Put a contract in front of most people and off they run for the hills.

This is why the click through EULA was the best thing to ever happen to the legal profession.
> TV: just don't buy an actual TV. Buy a monitor and hook it up to a Linux box with something like Kodi. You can hook up your cable box if you have that or stream from Netflix and such. Sure, even Netflix makes it hard as you can't get 5.1 surround but I'll take that and 2.0 -> 5.1 upmix over buying a Smart TV any day!

I've looked into this, but this option is really not great, either:

- Large Monitors are unavailable or (if you use business monitors) a lot more expensive and usually don't have latest panel tech.

- You'll loose surround sound and also 4K on most platforms

- The integration is usually worse (you'll have to start more devices, if you're lucky CEC decides to work)

- Good luck with HDR

I personally settled for a SmartTV behind a PiHole-equivalent, but an Apple TV or an Android TV combined with an offline smart TV are good contenders, too. Unfortunately, there's really no silver bullet right now.
I had edited out parts my earlier post before submitting it, and one thing I removed was how I was more replying to you about Cerebus and David Sim. At least Dark Knight Returns was a miniseries and non-canon. Cerebus hurt because of the re-evaluation of the work, but also because I didn't really know much about Sim's beliefs for a while and had more invested in the project.
I think that IBM z/OS is the strangest entry on the list. It’s also notable that Hawaii EulerOS is a Linux distro based on CentOS
Are you sure? The native Cocoa client seems to never lack feature-parity - and in fact is one of the clients to actually support encrypted messaging.

Or is that specific client just a unique case of the devs going above and beyond?
Yes, and there are moves in the next generation to add cryptographic signatures to the satellite streams. Someone could still jam it, but they couldn't spoof it.

Yeah, the banks still have those.

Not as many as used to.

I was at the branch inside the regional headquarters for one of those too-big-to-fail banks a couple of weeks ago adding my wife to an account, and I asked the guy if there was a way to transfer the contents of my safe deposit box at another one of the bank's regional headquarters to this one because it would be more convenient. He said that his bank (one of the five largest in America) doesn't open new safe deposit boxes anymore.

Still, if you can find one, they're invaluable. For reasons beyond the scope of this discussion, I'm glad I still have the one I have, even though it's a thousand miles away.

I wonder if the smaller banks are still doing them. Did credit unions ever have them?
