> What happens when a crate version has to be removed due to a critical CVE or court order (IP Law violation, perhaps)?

CVE = The Yank flag. Cargo will refuse to add new yanked packages to a lock file, but if a yanked package is already in the lock file, it will still build. The package is not actually deleted. https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-yank.html

Legal = Hard delete. Nobody will go to jail just to avoid breaking your build. Of course, since crates.io and kernel.org are in the same legal jurisdiction, is there any actual difference here?
Early versions of Solaris were terrible. It was a pain to build any open source stuff on them. Solaris 2.5 was decent, but I think I kept my personal SparcStation on SunOS 4.1 (retroactively renamed Solaris 1.1) until Solaris 2.6 (aka SunOS 5.6) was out. Sun marketing was pretty confusing.
You're right, but unfortunately I can't edit it now.
It seems like the author is calling a Twitter account a "site" and at least once seems to call the Twitter account a "company".

"However, the site [@LibsOfTikTok] highlights liberals speaking about themselves and their values in their own voices. There is no explanation, which is common for the company."

Is the "company" in that quote the LibsOfTikTok account? Is that a corporate account? Do they have a website?

I also think it's poor form to not begin with the strongest explanation of what happened. The author should start out by giving Twitter's case, to the best of his ability if Twitter has not made their case public, and then explain what problems he has with Twitter's point of view. That seems to be entirely lacking from this piece.
Social media is the 21st century public square, and it's not just Twitter. 2% of US adults actively posting on Twitter means it's more common for you to see a Twitter user than a ginger on the street. Allowing tech companies (or more pointedly, their board of directors) to control public discourse is a huge error and one I'm sure we'll pay for in due time.
Can you say more about this world view? I'm experiencing a bit of cognitive dissonance. To me, this is like saying, "I actively pour motor oil into the ocean, but I would never intentionally harm someone."
I'm not sure what your point is, other that agreeing with the article author that VC's appetite for risk is generally lower than what the brand image of would imply.
Just throw a bunch of cash at some googlers. They make a new messaging app every month. They are pros at building them, just not getting users.
No, I live in a place where the claim to technology fame is "We have an IBM support office here, we're a tech hub!"

Heck the biggest thing tech wise to come out of my city is founder and former CEO of GitHub Tom Preston-Werner being from here.
The problem is that, if we assume that integers don’t have provenance, some far distant part of the code could guess the integer and do an int2ptr. If you can prove that nothing in the entire program could possibly do this for the entire lifetime of the original object, then sure, you could remove the ptr2int. But compiler optimizations usually work one function at a time. In some cases it might be feasible to prove this anyway, like if (a) you have a function that doesn’t call any other functions and (b) the object in question is a local variable that will go out of scope at the end of the function, making any further accesses UB regardless. But in most cases it’s not feasible.
These kinds of annoyances are almost always an infrastructure problem, as the Dutch have shown. If you correctly separate modes of transit according to speed on a high enough density of route links, blockages like this are eliminated. It's possible that those side streets are not optimal for their journey. You seem to be assuming that person on a bicycle was traveling for recreational purposes and not necessarily transiting from point to point.
> [in France] you need to be paid during the non compete period (at least 1/3 of your compensation or something like this)

Oh that's interesting. That is the first time I've seen a justifiable contractual consideration on the employer's side for a non-compete.
> You’ll never maintain a Wordpress site long term securely. Need to convert it to static html one way or another.

I'm in favor of static HTML myself where possible, but it's not hard to maintain a secure Wordpress install. Keep automatic updates enabled and don't install any third party plugins.

It's that second part that most people screw themselves with.
Right turn on red really doesn't belong anywhere where people could be on the street. Drivers turning red will often pull forward into the crosswalk and there may be a walk signal.
This blog post started out good, but fizzled at the end. I was expecting to hear actual examples of the terrible things he’d do with our money, but alas no specifics.
I doubt that would actually occur. People with deep pockets could buy it up because they don't care about the tax. They'll just pass the cost on to renters anyways.
Twitter Moves to Block Elon Musk from Increasing Stake
> Most of the other replies here say it’s all about size, and size does matter, but it’s not the whole story.

Originally the distinctions were (mostly) of purpose, but after WWI a series of treaties (mostly the Washington Naval Treaty and the First and Second London Naval Treaties) set out size, equipment, and numerical limits for various categories, so a whole lot of the interwar design and classification was based on gaming treaty limits, and the resulting naming patterns had a lasting influence that gradually faded.
Thanks for all of this.

Regarding the point on similarity for racism, spending years as a commuter cyclist, where I was frequently forced to the margins of the road, gave me a much deeper appreciation for marginalized people of all sorts. Some people were nice, many people were oblivious and/or didn't give a shit, and some people were hostile and dangerous. Not because of anything more than me living my life a little differently than them. Those visceral experiences made it much easier for me to empathize with people in other outgroups.
I'm not sure, but I feel there might be companies that are not selling cloud hosting solutions ;)

Also, once again, do check the law where you live. It's very possible that non-compete only apply on stuff you worked on. For example, maybe if you did not work on S3 specifically, you might even be able to work on Google Cloud Storage if all you are considering are companies that make public clouds.
Interesting debate. I do however wonder at what point does the ends not justify the means?
It would seem like using violin plots in these type of graphs would help a lot. If low-skilled people are bad at estimating, their variance (and distribution) will be a lot wider.
In my view (and actually the view of a lot of people, given the responses in this thread), it has almost nothing to do with politeness and everything to do with avoiding being manipulated by wokeists.
The states I have lived in always as a “all-way” sign at the bottom of the stop signs to indicate if the crossing streets have stop sign as well
Not just CNN, pretty much all of the main media providers do exactly this.
Yeah, but the comment I replied to said:

> I have yet to see a single city where the vast majority of stop-sign-controlled intersections couldn’t have been better served with yield signs.

So I was giving an example of a city where that wasn’t the case. I never said all stop signs are necessary, I was only disputing the point that most stop signs in ALL cities aren’t necessary.
Somehow I don't believe that you come to a full stop same as cars every time at every intersection with a stop sign or red light. Maybe it's just that I've just never seen a bike do it at intersections where an Idaho stop would be safe enough, so I'm extrapolating from that.
A couple of things addressing points from different part in this thread:

- Archiving the complete history of all crates in crates.io is perfectly feasible today for an individual. Over time that might change.

- Setting up a mirror is straightforward, should you want to do so: https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/blob/master/docs/MIRR...

- crates.io is financed by the Rust Foundation and is at no risk of disappearing, it is a very well funded effort.

- Using cargo with an alternative repo is not difficult, requires some one-time configuration.

- Vendoring your dependencies is supported.

- cargo hits the network to look for semver compatible updated versions of your dependencies on specific moments if you don't have a Cargo.lock file.

- Not updating your dependencies stops you from getting the rug pulled from under you if an unwanted change happens, but it also stops you from getting any desired changes including security vulnerability fixes.

- Even if you vendor all of your dependencies, you still have to audit them the first time and every time you update them. Are you? Most aren't. Code you haven't written yourself can't be assured not to be malicious, and code you've written yourself can still have exploitable mistakes.
In west coast cities, stop signs seem to serve the purpose of letting pedestrians exert their legal right of way where it would otherwise be taken by cars. Without stop signs, cars are not really likely to stop and pedestrians will wait until the road is simply clear rather than playing a one sided mortal game of chicken. The result is that cars can pretend that the pedestrian doesn't actually want to cross. With a stop sign, pedestrians can reason that a car has to stop for the stop sign, and so they will also be able to walk.

That said I think stop signs is a terrible solution to this issue.
> "Public Square" is an analogy to a physical space where people would gossip and politic

I don't think so, as that analogy would mean literally any space where people gather is a public square, including my living room. Typically what's implied by "public square" is that the space is owned by a government, and the public by proxy, and (in the US at least) is bound by Constitutional restrictions that private entities and citizens aren't.

When people say things like "Twitter is the de facto public square" what they're arguing is that Twitter should be considered (or converted into) public property, and no longer be allowed the free speech rights enjoyed by private enterprise, which include the ability to ban users, or moderate or delete content for any reason other than explicit legal necessity.
The page discouraging the use of helmets is a wild take: https://cyclingfallacies.com/en/29/people-should-wear-helmet...

They cherry pick data (often decades old) from specific countries/regions to try to apply their claim that "A high rate of helmet use is a sign that the authorities have failed to design well for cycling" at a global level.
I can't give you legal advice, but I can ask you to consider if you really want to work for AWS. It may be a generic clause, but they are basically saying they don't trust you. Also telling recruiters of other FAANG / big corp / etc. you got an AWS offer should increase your leverage.
There are a lot of alternative methods for bonding in an online space. I've been a gamer and run guilds where we never saw each other yet people built such strong connections they traveled cross country to meet up by choice not force years after. (and multiple people got married)

The idea that this is only possible in meat space is such an antiquated mindset.

Think outside the box. There are a number of companies offering tools, one we use is Donut. https://www.donut.com/blog/ Once a week, I am randomly peered with someone for a half hour coffee. It's been great and I meet people not just in engineering.
Do nuclear weapons paired with economic independence (or leverage) mean countries can have a blank check to have their way with neighbors?
> You could fix this by capping the number of jobs so that increases in population would be forced to distribute more evenly through the country

Interesting idea. But wondering how this would work in practice.

The Federal government often does this when they distribute their own facilities across the country.

Businesses already flock to places were cost of labor is low, but can only that in industries that require less specialization.

> otherwise competition and property tax would have made a dent

You said it. There is no competition, because housing supply is constrained (zoning), and property tax does not make a dent, because it favors speculation over improvements (further inhibiting competition).
And even in the case of billion parameter models, explainability isn't as opaque or mysterious as it's made out to be. You can step through inferences and identify the semantics of individual neurons and clusters and layers. It took a while to see Google deep dream neuron exploration, but you can pick any feature you see in a generated image and identify exactly which neuron/s hold that feature, and how it ended up in an image.

Deep learning and neural networks are giant polynomial equations. Any variable can be investigated and its semantics understood in context of the model.

Gpt-3 neurons can be understood as encoded rules about language. It's tedious and requires a lot of compute and labor. Whether you ever get a map for a model depends on the need for it but there are no technical reasons a "black box" model can't be explained or understood. Neural networks aren't magic, they're just big and convoluted.

Think of it like application disassembly and reverse engineering. On a 100gb densely packed nn model, reverse engineering is going to be difficult, but explainability is just something that can be done if the expense is justified.
Dante now has an OCI runtime that can do this purely in software without an ultimo, ala Dante Virtual Soundcard on the Windows side, which is a good example of how the embedded space is adapting to this prolonged part shortage.

A physician explains how Covid-19 mutes sense of smell
Every weekend I see badly-behaved motorists taking up the entire lane of narrow roads in their little metal wagons with four empty chairs. Like, why do drivers do that? So entitled!
I suggest again reading some westerns reports like https://www.osce.org/files/f/documents/e/7/233896.pdf especially for nazi density and who finance them or https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB10014.html for the why those nazis are financed and armed. Beside that "psychological weapons" still have a target, such bombing as described have not.

All countries have attacked civilians, did you remember WWII USA in Europe mass bombing even on ally countries? Iraqi ones? French ones in Libya and Siria? NATO Belgrade siege? But their purpose is evident: WWII mass bombing were used to force rich European countries to reconstruct under the Marshall plan agreements a thing would not happen if those countries were not so badly treated, modern bombing in Iraq &c was done for similar reasons, less ample now, but equally in principles: making room for western private companies big earnings. Russia do not have such targets, they are meaningless for them, they do not have the western military-industrial complex, most of their activities are still public in military and health domains, private activities suffer more from sanctions and war than the outcome [1], they advance slowly and methodically clearly to minimize damages in area they want operational under their control.

[1] to a point I suspect some western sanctions are negotiated with Putin gov. to hit some oligarchs he dislike...
My time at Dell immediately brought this to mind. No coffee offered other than overpriced you had to purchase from the cafeteria. I brought in my own espresso and coffee maker, and got chastised by facilities as a fire hazard. We weren't even allowed to put in the tiny kitchenette, which was a sink with plastic utensils in a couple of drawers. Ridiculous.
That's a good reason!
"If you accept this to be true and good oh, then it makes perfect sense."

One can accept that the government owns the land while simultaneously believing that the government can abuse that power, just like a bad landlord can.
You might reconsider your expectations. Neovim is not trying to occupy the same space as something like VSCode or Atom. Its focus is on being extremely extensible without sacrificing performance - just look at the website, it's right at the top of the feature list.

The intention is for it to serve as the core technology for any number of vi-like text editing setups. It's not batteries-included, but there are batteries everywhere if you look.

Mouse is off by default. Again, why? I get that it's a terminal editor, but if the technology is there to allow me to select text with my mouse, why do we need act like luddites?

Because it would be unexpected and unwelcome behavior for most users, and maybe even introduce undefined behavior in clients that lack mouse support.

After setting up my .vimrc file with sane defaults and a bit of an attempt to use the editor in earnest, my conclusion is that Vim/Neovim is just a bad editor.

You haven't really explained why you think it's a bad editor, beyond the default settings you don't like.
> where a different culture currently thrives

I agree. It is an issue of cultural acceptance. And rest assured, you don't need to educate me about FOSS scene culture— I've been using linux consistently since the 90s and have worked full time developing for FOSS projects for 12 years. The important realization you skipped past was the exclusivity of culture.

Just like Punk cultures, FOSS culture often mistakes itself for an inclusive catch-all for people opposed to a corporate for-profit status quo. Though obviously opposed to corporate status quo, the FOSS scene is an in-club of people who put technical accomplishment above all else. They pride themselves on rejecting user-focus and pushing through awful user experiences. There are cool kids and villains and the look and feel of your projects is the same as subculture fashion.

I can't imagine Mastodon intended to restrict their audience to that 'different culture' but ignoring their perspective certainly had that effect. Eschewing or appealing to people outside of that culture has absolutely nothing to do with profit. None.
What's interesting to me is that people see making a company _private_ and therefore limiting its ownership to just a few people is somehow going to make it more conducive to free speech. How does closing something off and putting it under one person's auspices make it more open?
Pulseaudio can do this itself.

Here's some info on the relevant law as it pertains to California (where AWS is based). TLDR: "non-compete agreements are not enforceable in California"

https://www.callahan-law.com/are-non-competes-enforceable-in...

If you live somewhere else, I don't know if California law would apply or your local laws, so like other said you should consult an attorney who specializes in this area.
Like I said, you can make that argument, but then you need to provide a criterion for saying someone is unhappy. That's where behavioralism or functionalism or something similar comes in.

> Your statements seem to assume everyone has the same perspective to measure against, but in reality people's perspective can be radically different

On the contrary, I think people have different perspectives. Two people can be in the exact same situation and their subjective feelings can be radically different.
At least in the Dutch roundabouts I’ve seen that people hold up as a standard, bicycles are not supposed to take the lane but instead have a separated path along the perimeter.

I think the grandparent comment is also coming from the US, where all-way stop intersections are extremely common.
It’s the same rule as California… you can have a non-compete, but that time has to be paid for separately than your normal wages.
I've tried this in the past and, for me, it never helped for more than a few minutes. But it DID work. It's amazing how interconnected various systems in our bodies can be and how little we truly understand.
When I lived in Hamburg in Germany, there was an arterial on my way to work where cars definitely _did not_ stop for pedestrians. The street was 2 lanes wide with an spot to stand in the middle.
You served the wrong number: this is the share of population on Twitter. I asked about the share of non-Twitterers sharing your values.
To elaborate the biggest "tech" company I worked at where I had to show up was John Deere. They had coffee, but it was just a Starbucks directly in JDIS (the "department" that handled software dev) and you had to pay to get a cup.
There's a belief that stop signs will slow traffic. Instead, they'll often result in people flooring it between stops, making up for lost time or whatever.

Other traffic calming measures do more to slow drivers down and improve safety while potentially making the entire drive faster, or at least more pleasant and efficient due to a steady speed.

I think we're starting to recognize that, but it's a lot easier to toss up another sign than to move a curb, and stop signs are seen as less of an "anti-car" measure.
I think there's non-infrequently an "All Way" sign under the stop sign if the crossing street has one too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-way_stop But I'm not sure how common that is.
It's still very common outside of the cores of highly urbanized neighborhoods. I generally like it, but sometimes the visibility isn't as well-maintained as it should be.

My main point here is that the gp said "op isn't an expert because they don't have xyz qualifications so can't criticize these experts (who also don't have xyz qualifications)". It's the inconsistency.

Also, the piece is at such a high level that it really doesn't take a lot of expertise to write. The summary of the article is "I'd rather take the risks of nuclear by restarting our existing nuclear infrastructure rather than to continue to fund the Russian war machine." That's really it. He gives more support and tries to sound scientific, but it's just an opinion and the guy is an actual expert in marketing. Seems fair enough.
Not high enough, it should be greater than 100% to penalize the employer more.
