The FSF has a page called The Principles of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement^1. In it they talk about the GPL. But they make it very clear that they don't want to go about suing people who violate the license, and they would like to educate people on why they are violating the license. The zealotry does not help anyone.

> Legal action is a last resort. Compliance actions are primarily education and assistance processes to aid those who are not following the license. Most GPL violations occur by mistake, without ill will. Copyleft enforcement should assist these distributors to become helpful participants in the free software projects on which they rely. Occasionally, violations are intentional or the result of severe negligence, and there is no duty to be empathetic in those cases. Even then, a lawsuit is a last resort; mutually agreed terms that fix (or at least cease) further distribution and address damage already done are much better than a battle in court.

TLDR: Legal action is a last resort. Most GPL violations occur by mistake, without ill will.

Everyone who is responding doesn’t understand the core benefit of Substack: the writer owns the relationship between them and their subscribers.
Substack has no such ownership. Substack doesn’t take payments from the subscribers and then pay the writer. The subscribers directly pay the writer and the writer is charged a fee by Substack.
It is VERY easy for writers to drop off Substack. They own their subscription lists and if they want to move to Patreon they can. But Substack’s incentive is to make their product so good that the writers stay. That is how the company is set up. They could have created a moat where Substack owns the subscribers but they chose to flip it so that it is very easy for writers to leave. Literally writers can leave Substack with the click of the button and they can take their subscribers with them, and that’s a core value of the company.
I think the company values are amazing and new and something you don’t see anymore. I actually applied to the company last year but didn’t pass the interview which was very disappointing but I plan on trying again this year. It’s a company I firmly believe in and I love the mission.

Yeah, that was unfortunate. We had precious few Federal-strength levers at our disposal, though, and sometimes you have to go with what's available.

> Isn't web3 mostly just the use of decentralized systems? You don't need crypto for that.

Maybe you do need crypto for that. One of the properties of large, decentralised systems with high stakes things running on them is that they are larger than any group of entities that can trust each other with such high stakes, so they need a mechanism to hold it together. Right now that mechanism looks like crypto of one sort or another.
Is the source code available? When I go to the the GH I see that the project is archived. Am I missing something here?
One of the catalysts were probably 1999 bombings of apartment buildings[1] that were very suspicious (including one where FSB were actually caught planting hexogen by a local militia) and led to dramatic rise of Putin.

Along with crackdown on media it created a narrative where you have a strata that must have their rights removed and be hated by society. First it were "terrorists" and then to a different degree "opposition", "journalists", "LGBT", foreigners and Ukrainians.

Did Student-Monitoring Software Accuse You of Cheating on a Test?
Hasn't it?
I have never met a dev who ever enjoyed Cucumber/Gherkin stuff. There's a lot of decorative overhead to make code look friendly to non-coders. Non-coders who eventually never look at the "pretty" code.

Spec-like BDD tests (RSpec, Jest, Spock, et al. - most languages except Python seem to have a good framework) have all the advantages of forcing behavioral thinking without having to maintain a layer of regex redirects.
After a quick look, I already loved that you offer a free band for up to 5k events. Many GA alternatives don't have free plans, and their first band is expensive for a hobby blog that gets like 100 views a month.
In some ways (narrow AI), yes, its been a fantastic few years including tools like the one in context.

In the important way that the AI winter originally referred to though, no, there doesn't seem to have been any progress towards AGI.
Good old GDP.
Great commentary. I'd add shamelessly that whoever can _build_ the best electric monks dominates the game. The price of developing them will be miniscule.

Really hoping AI ushers us into the resource based economy where humans are freed from rudimentary labor.
This order comes into effect in 2 weeks.

That means if you want to continue to get the various tax benefits on investments in Russia, you need to buy in the next 2 weeks.
please stop feeding the trolls, yes there may be mistakes but threatening legal action and lawyers when it's not sorted in a week is being a bad actor and this _should_not_ be encouraged.

The provided evidence for a GPL violation by cheat-engine seems extremely thin.

Here is a list of the supposed violations, as per this comment [1]:

./Cheat Engine/tcclib/texi2pod.pl copyright Free Software Foundation via GNU GPL v2+
./Cheat Engine/tcclib/il-opcodes.h copyright Fabrice Bellard via GNU GPL v2+
./Cheat Engine/tcclib/tcctools.c copyright Timppa via GNU GPL v2+
./Cheat Engine/tcclib/lib/libtcc1.c copyright Free Software Foundation via GNU GPL v2+
./Cheat Engine/bin/tcclib/libtcc1.c copyright Free Software Foundation and Fabrice Bellard via GNU GPL v2+
./Cheat Engine/SynHighlighterAA.pas copyright Martin Waldenburg via GNU GPL v2+ (and MPL)
./Cheat Engine/LuaSyntax.pas copyright Jean-Franois Goulet via GNU GPL v2+ (and MPL)
./DBKKernel/obsolete_ntifs.h copyright Bo Brant via GNU GPL v2+

* libtcc is licensed under LGPL, as can be verified by downloading the source [2]. The bulk of the alleged violations come from the vendored version of this project.

* il-opcodes.h [3] is included in libtcc, but has a GPL license in the header. As the GPL license author is the author of libtcc (Fabrice Bellard), this seems like a mistake in that single header and the general license of the project should take priority. An author of source code is allowed to relicense their own code to whichever license they wish, after all, even if the original license used to be the GPL.

* texi2pod.pl [4] is licensed under GPL, but as it is a single perl script it does not link to the main cheat-engine program, which means the GPL does not extend to the rest of the cheat-engine project.

* LuaSyntax.pas and SynHighlighterAA.pas [5] are dual licensed under MPL, so are not violations to begin with.

* The other linked file (obsolete_ntifs.h [6]) has since been deleted and was not in use to begin with (and hence never linked to the actual project).

Unless I am missing something, none of these allegations seem to hold any water. It mainly seems to boil down to the author of libtcc making a sloppy license mistake in a header (likely copy-pasting licenses around incorrectly).

WebAssembly and Serverless vs. Kubernetes
Inflation is near 10%. Fed funds rate is 0.5%. The govt is handing stacks of cash to people. M2 growth peaked last year at 25%.

I wonder why the bubble never burst...a real puzzler, probably a question that scientists will never work out (btw, this sarcasm is real, you have people at the Fed who think like this, this is why inequality has skyrocketed...even relative to 2010, when inequality was already high, we are up multiples...no-one has really examined this thoroughly, the Fed lacks the ability to think proactively, it is always reactive/backwards-looking).

Something that perpetually puzzles people who don't work in finance (and even then, most people in finance never get it)...because something will happen eventually, it does not mean it will happen today.

There is this pervasive mindset: if the value of X is Y, then it should be Y today...or else, why would anyone buy it at Y+10. In finance, the day of reckoning can be postponed for a very long time. Borrow more, make the interest payments, hope something changes. You see this with companies: they don't go bust until someone asks for their money back.

And people do not have expectations that separable from today's prices (thankfully, economists are now integrating this into their understanding of inflation)...if something is trading at X, people think that is the same thing as it's value rather than a function of supply and demand in the short-term. To make this conclusion more explicit: the value of a company it's future cash flows, you can say your company is worth $1bn, $10bn, $100bn...but at some point that money has to convert into cash, that is what value is.

(The gap between now and "then" is how you make money investing. It is very easy to tell what is going to happen eventually, you can make money because most investors are unable to psychologically bridge that gap, they need today and now. Unf, policymakers have exactly the same mindset...someone else's problem, tomorrow, tomorrow, never today).
I've been screwing around with a hand-crafted software rendering engine, and using a good old fashioned 4x4 matrix seems to give me everything I am looking for in this project.

I do find the math and applications of quaternions to be elegant in theory, but there is a bit of a blackbox/theoretic veil that is harder to penetrate compared to a matrix representation (at least for me). The matrix also gives me all 3 things at once - rotation/scale/transform. Somewhere in my programmer brain this abstraction feels really nice to work with.

Edit: This old & controversial article is what convinced me to stick with matrices for now:

I actually hate Nix.. and i agree, i'm never going back. I use it on my desktop (Linux), my Macbooks, and i want it on my Windows machine (not that it's going to happen hah).

The thing that Nix, for me, currently fails at is introspection. Every function is a black box and i have no clue what's in it. I have to go dig up files on github to see what it even accepts. It's as if everything is obtuse.

A "simple" LSP/Type system would do wonders for understanding what the function is, what it does, and the inputs/outputs.

.. also i have some difficulty understanding functional "mutation" patterns like how overloads are implemented. But i hope that'll make sense eventually.

NOTE: i also think Flakes are absolutely necessary for Nix. Nix is way less valuable to me without Flakes.
During the 2nd gulf war against Iraq, when the death toll began to rise, the US government forbade the reporting of military personnel coffins returning from the war zone, and news sources complied, including those against the war

This is wildly misleading. It was during the first gulf war, and it wasn't a ban on the reporting of returning coffins, it was a ban on photographers entering the grounds of Dover Air Force Base where the coffins were received.

Granted. New Atheists are insufferable. For future, maybe use their moment of conversion as an opportunity to introduce them to Aristotle, Popper, your fave thinker.

>>"Does an NFT confer ownership to any real, personal or intellectual property as understood by any currently existing legal authority?"

Conceivably you could use it the same way you'd use a ticket to be redeemed for a later good or service which would presumably be recognized by existing legal authority.

I haven't heard of any actual NFTs that granted any powers that your average pog doesn't though.
I like the interface and the fact I don't have to connect any of my personal accounts. I've used other products that require permissions or user/pw and usually the connections fail or have some issue that makes them useless. It's nice I can do this manually, which I have a spreadsheet I use once a month anyway manually. I'm going to keep playing with this, maybe I can get rid of my spreadsheet!

If you are interested in a formal approach, Sparx Enterprise Architect is relatively inexpensive, and can model requirements, and provide traceability to test cases, or anything else you want to trace.
Agreed, this example goes against your narrative.

That's a huge claim to make without any evidence at all, interesting opinion I guess.

A long time ago on a BaaS platform I worked on, we dealt with an IoT company that pinned certs and when we rotated them they had no way of updating their devices... I think we had to put them on their own server and just left the old cert running forever. As the sibling comment here says, "I doubt a random IoT company does stuff the proper way..."
It's n = 800 which is way better than most studies, and it's a well designed study. Basic science research is way underfunded in essentially every country.

This is literally how the null hypothesis / statistical significance works; how is this crap science? If the measured effect is too tiny, you cannot conclude that it's a real effect.
Except on Debian and Debian-derived systems. Apparently there's an issue with license compatibility, on those you may need to install this package: emacs-common-non-dfsg.

But on pretty much every other system with a standard emacs install, yes, `C-h i` is all you need to get to the documentation.
Might be an accounting scam^H^H^H^H trick to book the costs as an operating expense vs a capital expenditure. In general capital expenditures have to be planned carefully, held on the books for years, and show a return on investment. Perhaps an accountant can provide more detail.

I'm not OP, but they were upgrading from Postgres 9.6, which at least implies that this initial db was from ~2017.

This is barely past the initial release of Cockroach. It would have been kind of crazy for the Retool team to use an experimental db with a lack of history when building up their product (that was not dependent on experimental new features)
Left and right censorship are applied to very different media. In the case of online platforms, the most visible attempts of censorship are coming from the left. At least I haven't heard of any opposite examples.
I have several Insteon switches too. They've never connected to the internet and they never will -- because they have no mechanism to do so. Insteon is a powerline carrier (PLC) protocol coupled with a local RF protocol which is neither wifi nor bluetooth. The use of an internet-connected hub with Insteon is optional.

Factory resets are a non-issue with my switches.
Again, there are no independent institutions or media left who could conduct polls and statistics.

All "polls and statistics" you see are basically fabricated by the government, either directly, or by induced fear.
That happened in Eurasia. Events in the Americas were decoupled from Eurasia.

The fact is, we don't have any evidence for or against any domestication, or wheels, in North America. Any evidence that might have existed was burned up along with everything else, in the YD conflagration. So, any estimation of probability is 100% guessing, with a decorative and misleading frosting of "science".

What we do have firm evidence for is domestication of tree species in South America before 10,000 years ago. So, domestication did happen there before similar events in Eurasia.
I'm surprised that NULLs weren't filtered out with what ever stored procedure is running on the database that sent the workload for mail ticket dispersal.

Although I suppose it is an edge case because NULL is supposed to not ever get joined with an address or UID.
"EM's cultlike fanbase" has no power to drive up the stock price in any possible way other than ultra-short-term (and even then, it would be a really large stretch). Retail investors don't have such power in general, aside from when it comes to very low volume and low cap tickers (which Tesla is neither).

There could be many potential ways of justifying why Tesla stock is overvalued (if you are inclined to believe so), but "retail is just being irrational and hypes it up, because they are superfans" is just one of the most off-base ones.
I'd like to see a study that correlates use of Twitter's "report" button with political persuasion.

My hypothesis is that lefties are more likely to appeal to authority and hit the "report" button when they see something they don't like, and right wingers are more likely to go vigilante and hit "reply" and attempt to persuade/shout the person into agreeing with them.
"Lesser General Public License"

I assume that it used to stand for "library", and this was changed to discourage people from thinking of this library as the default license for libraries, and consider using the GPL instead. For example, the GNU Readline library is GPL, and this is reportedly the reason why CLISP is also GPL'd.
Netlify and Supabase use Deno's infrastructure for code execution (https://deno.com/deploy/subhosting). Vercel hosts their edge functions on Cloudflare (nothing to do with Deno). Slack's Deno runtime is hosted on AWS.
> when the total Nix lines of code > 10k for a project then have fun!

I have the suspicion that you’re talking about auto-generated Nix code. For comparison, lock files for language-specific package managers can easily exceed 10k lines. But I have yet to see any hand-written Nix build description for a single software project reach nearly as much LOC.

> A bunch of server functionality

Why is that the use case? I don't see how an edge function can be faster than a centralized server endpoint if it has to reach out to literally any other component of the system involved in auth / persistence

Everyone with an interest in this conflict should be searching on DuckDuckGo with their date range set to 2021 at the latest. Western persectives on Zelensky (-2021), perspectives on the conflict in the east (2014-2016), or the really good stuff is Western experts warning about the risks of NATO expansion (set your date range 2000-2010).
There are many thousands of universities. They can't all be familiar. Those that most consistently produce quality research (or have the best PR) will be well known. Getting there? That's a bit of a chicken or the egg problem: Media outlets aren't going to want to bog down a headline with unrecognizable names-- fewer clicks. Arguably worse for the research too since. When it is noticed, it will be linked better to the University, but it won't be noticed as much because of a title that isn't SEO friendly or doesn't grab attention as well.
Name a single such law passed in the past 4 years in the US? (Laws regulating the curricula of state-funded public schools don't count. Not using taxpayer money to support a view ≠ impinging on the right of private citizens and organizations to express that view with their own resources and funds)
It puts a damper on conventional business models.

It doesn't put a damper on societal progress because you benefit from the existence of GPL software so it is only fair to let others benefit.

Usually this is an issue of your dependecies having dependecies having dependecies having...

It is turtles all the way down. In your cargo.toml you have like 5 dependecies, but each of those has 10 that you don't really have on the radar etc.

For really wide spread dependecies like serde I think this is okay. There are many eyeballs on it and the chances that you introduce dangerous code might be bigger if you write your own parser.
This only works if your hub already completed an initial setup:

> If you are a spurned Insteon user seeking to move your hardware to some other
system, whatever you do, don't factory-reset your Insteon Hub. Apparently, contacting Insteon's servers is a key step of the initial setup, so this may now fail.

Seems like you're fine until your hub dies, but you'll have to switch everything once it does.
Point by point.
1. The same politicians who were in party of regions (Yanukovich party) quickly reorganized into new political parties. So there were “pro-Russian” political parties in Ukrainian politics, who participated in parliament elections in 2014 and in 2019, and in presidential elections in 2014 and 2019. So the point that people in Eastern Ukraine were marginalized politically is a lie.

2. Ukrainian forces in 2014-2015 attacked armed forces of separatists and Russian troops, civilians never were the target. More than a million people left separatist republics for Ukraine, why would they do that if they were terrorized?

3. There are training camps for youth in Ukraine, which are funded by political organizations. They are not “Nazi”, similar things exist in Russia as well - like Yunarmiya for example.
Workers can have persistent storage attached to them (as a KV store), I can't see whether this has anything similar.
