I very explicitly didn't say "software". You should be distrustful of software. If you can't trust the system you've created, you've used or created bad software and then failed to build necessary safeguards. The answer is not to restrict the user, it's to make more robust systems.

A bit meta, but that is a good reason to read things on HN. We (or I, at least) get to know lots of interesting things other people are doing and ponder whether we're on the right place or perhaps could be happier doing something else.
> In a case like Worms where there are concurrent actions and random reveal choices inside each turn... If some deterministic state and random number is created for each player at the start of the turn, then their inputs can be reproducibly mapped to the results of all the random choices. In that case you can just upload the inputs and let the server work out what happened based on the hash the player was given (i.e., let the server replay each player's inputs against that hash and figure out the result).

No, this is the worst of the two cases: it allows predicting all outcomes at the start of the turn AND allows manipulating the outcome. So, in a territory control scheme like Team17, you can choose whether to pick up that crate now, or wait a turn or two until picking it up will result in a better outcome.

> But the server is not another player. It's not a player at all. It's the arbiter of truth.

No, that's not how peer-to-peer games work. In the current implementation, it is the "arbiter of truth" because it's the "server" in the TCP/IP sense, but it is still run and controlled by a player, and should not have any intrinsic advantage.

> At some point games will just accept this and allow the player with too slow of a connection to be disadvantaged.

Maybe games with a centralized networking model. We deliberately avoided doing anything in this direction for Worms Armageddon because it puts a death clock on the game and the community - see all games which are no longer playable because the developer/publisher decided that keeping the servers online was no longer profitable.

> To the extent that a server should tolerate slow connections, it is a handicap given by the game to players with slow connections.

In the hypothetical secure scheme I described above, ALL players are affected, not just the slowest one.

Yes. Polynomials over the complex numbers can always be factored completely based on the roots. Polynomials over the real numbers cannot. The result is easy to prove using complex analysis, which uses the 2-D structure of the complex numbers to prove it.

To me there's a big difference between a water park slide and a chemistry set. The water park is a business that is providing you an experience on their property. In this case, isn't there the assumption that they hired good engineers to build the slide, so they could make money off me and I won't die using their slide? In the case of the chemistry set, I'm buying something I know can hurt me if I use it wrong. It has warnings all over it. Actually, I had a chemistry set when I was young, but really don't remember anything about it, unfortunately.

It’s fair to say that working with smaller companies has different risks, but that doesn’t mean that working with large companies reduces project risk. It’s just trading one set of risks for another.

I have personally seen one of the big consultants change entire project methodologies twice - at the customer’s expense - within 6 months, in the same project.

This is leaning more into the big business revolving door problem - but in any case, I don’t think it’s widely accepted that the big consultants reduce project risks in any meaningful way.

And quite frankly, if your strategy is to sue a company if things go pear shaped, why in gods name would you choose IBM as your partner?
Great if it works for you, but for those who are dealing with babies, I wouldn't beat myself up if this advice doesn't apply. The parenting advice world is chock full of people who found something that worked for them and who then made the unwarranted conclusion that it is universal truth. For example, their techniques that "always work" definitely do not always work. Maybe they always worked for their particular babies, but I have been in situations with my kids where neither shushing and patting nor holding and walking worked to stop crying.

My general feeling is that you can drive yourself nuts trying to figure out why your baby is crying, and, as the blog author mentioned in his conclusion, you may still be unable to figure it out. IMO this is a great time of one's life to discard the illusion of control.

It doesn't solve the strawman problem though, I'd be more interested in evidence that this is what the person and his supporters actually believe and advocate action based on, rather than it just being an off-hand remark someone made. I've seen it a lot recently where people try to paint their opponents in the worst light possible and pretend they are all behind the most abhorrent view that can be found within the group. Evidence of what the party actually stands for (I know almost nothing about the group in this article, I asked a French person who said that their portrail is basically accurate in this case) is in general much more valuable than showing graphs

I don't think anyone has decided anything of the sort. If I shoplift from a store and I'm not stopped, that doesn't mean that "we" have decided that my theft is okay. It just means that I haven't got caught, or that the system isn't sufficient to hold me accountable, or that there isn't enough evidence to present a damning case against me just yet.

> but I'm inclined to say that advancement of humanity is a big enough reward that some risk is justified.

There's absolutely no evidence that Tesla's rushed and untested beta product is helping the "advancement of humanity" versus better designed and controlled research by organizations like Waymo.

The only evidence of FSD's "advancement" I see is the advancement of Tesla's profits. FSD serves as a vehicle for interest-free loans to Tesla directly from their customers.

The relevant clauses read as follows:

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or
in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to
be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms
of this License.

[...]

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be
reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then
this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you
distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to
each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

The post on which we're commenting says that "derived" comes from copyright law, and not from the text of the GPL, because the GPL cannot supercede copyright law. What I'm pointing out is that's incorrect - the definition of "derived" comes from what the license itself considers derived. This is because the license puts conditions on "derived from" works in the above term. This is true even if the license says "see copyright law for definition of term X".

When trying to determine what "derived works" means, the intent of the license is relevant. The license cannot restrict your rights beyond what copyright law allows it to do, but it can grant you additional rights on terms of its own choosing, including very restrictive terms.

Importantly for this conversation, something that is derived from "any part" of the program may or may not be a "derived work" of the whole under US copyright law, but may be a "derived work" for the purposes of the above clauses regardless. Plus the latter paragraph has an AND addendum - "AND can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves" - which can restrict beyond the referenced legal definition of "derived".
Negative. There is very little good scientific evidence that it is important to breastfeed. But even if we stipulate that mothers must breastfeed, many working women pump milk during the day if they don't have unlimited paid time off after birth. In such cases bottles must obviously be used. And many women cannot produce enough breastmilk, and must supplement with formula. And many other possible reasons why bottles must be used.

Anyway, one thing we can say for sure: if it's not your kid and you weren't specifically asked for advice, don't tell someone they should have been breastfeeding.
by using copyright law as an enforcement mechanism, these licenses make terms which govern behavior controlled by users -- terms which are practically unenforceable

Yeah, I think its things like this that make it hard to adopt nix. If you search for a package on search.nixos.org it tells you to install it using `nix-env`.

All I want is a way to say "I want jq, kubectl, and terraform installed" and have it available globally. Not for specific projects or anything like that.

Right now I maintain a makefile that installs everything for me using `nix profile`:

https://github.com/sontek/homies/blob/master/justfile#L14-L2...

Which almost exactly like I want. Only issue is sometimes a new hash is generated (which I don't understand.. maybe a config update in the repos?) and the makefile can't run anymore:

error: packages '/nix/store/y65pp5hipid0fzxl1z7xjxdk4h9jwfw7-exa-0.10.1/bin/exa' and '/nix/store/gy0bqcs9mcan8af47wakdylhal67dpy4-exa-0.10.1/bin/exa' have the same priority 5; use 'nix-env --set-flag priority NUMBER INSTALLED_PKGNAME' to change the priority of one of the conflicting packages (0 being the highest priority)

I've avoided home-manager because it says:

Unfortunately, it is quite possible to get difficult to understand errors when working with Home Manager, such as infinite loops with no clear source reference. You should therefore be comfortable using the Nix language and the various tools in the Nix ecosystem. Reading through the Nix Pills document is a good way to familiarize yourself with them.

If its common enough to warn about it, not quite the tool I'm looking to pull into my environment.
GCP supports enough IPv6 that you can host sites on it with an external IPv6 address. The user's internal network addresses might be IPv4, but that's (hopefully?) a detail not exposed to the public internet.

Oh, I actually messed it up. Which in hindsight I don't know why because it's really much simpler than what I started with... but then I usually do it with more intermediate steps, and on an actual command line, not on a mobile phone...

Anyways:

You start with:

original-state
A
final-state
B
intermediate-state

You want

original-state
X
intermediate-state
Y
final-state

What you just need to do is:

git revert HEAD

Which gives you:

original-state
A
final-state
B
intermediate-state
revert (C)
final-state

Then X = A + B and Y = C, so with one rebase -i:

pick A
squash B
reword C

No conflicts. The important thing is that with appropriate reverts and reapplication of commits, you can make your history contain the states you want in the order you want, even if in between you have repeated states in the wrong order. Then you squash things so that you only keep the states you wanted in the first place.

Edit: but yes, you can achieve the same outcome with read-tree or checkout.

Edit2: come to think or it, you can probably do what you want with a couple git replace --graft and a noop filter-branch.

> Caveat emptor, never rely on free services for critical parts of your operation.

Don't rely on a single service. Having the same data at two free services is probably more safe than relying on a single paid service. At least for data loss.

If data is sensitive don't rely on any service, just encrypt it with your own key.
> You don't need to be the government's property for the government to optimize

Right, so like I said. I mean you even quoted this part and then proceeded to not explain why perhaps you believe this is inevitable, but simply restate it. You're assuming you're correct but not justifying it.

Or perhaps you mean the prior comment where someone said "People dying in auto accidents costs the government money in lost economic activity as well as things like medical care." which you took umbrage with. But there's again, nothing that implies property here. I don't think that the businesses on my street are my property, but I can still support policies that benefit them, because a robust local economy still benefits me. Nor do I think I hold any sort of right of ownership over an average schoolchild, and yet I benefit from a well educated citizenry and so support robust public education.

Direct property ownership is not the only method by which people can benefit from things, and regulation is not necessarily done out of a sense of "entitlement". Some regulations are actually just good and improve the world.

Not just detained some, Germans accounted for "36.1% of the total internments under the US Justice Department's Enemy Alien Control Program."

This needs greater publicity to shame google/YouTube . I feel the pain here!
> And why shouldn't they have right to remove such content?

They should, but they should also clearly communicate what content they consider acceptable and I think they should also notify the user and give them time to move their things out if G decides the content is deemed unacceptable. Especially if the content is not obviously and egregiously violating the terms of service and hasn't been considered a problem for the past seven years. Pulling the rug like that all of a sudden isn't cool.

If I offer to hold your grocery bag while you go to the restroom, do you think it's OK for me to throw it all away because after digging aronud a bit, I notice you have bought apples I don't like? What if I've been repeatedly extending the same courtesy for the past ten years and never had a problem with these apples until today? What if I advertise myself as a free bag holding service by the entrance to the restroom?

I think people should have the expectation that if a company (or individual) offers a service and holds on to your property (be it digital or physical), they should treat it responsibly and not just trash it all out of the blue.

> Clearly it wasn't following intent of the site.

That does not seem clear at all based on a reading of youtube's policies.

That's not something Google can decide or verify. Instead, they could help the user move their stuff out and that would ensure they still have everything.

But I like this line of arguing; I think copyright infringement is ok because the copyright holder still has their original copy which has in no way been affected.
I’d like to add:
it is ok to ask for help.
