That’s a nice flowchart. Also, blockchains are only applicable when you don’t know anyone you trust to run your infrastructure. I don’t think this is often true in practice.

Blockchains are also only needed in situations where you need a single, global source of truth. Ie, where eventual consistency / gossip networks wouldn’t be good enough. So blockchains are needed to avoid the double spend problem, but plenty of real world software can get on just fine without a single central ledger. (Eg scuttlebutt, CRDTs, etc).
> Ultimately its probably better if we move to a world where a lot of "intellectual property" expires with it's holder and passes into the public domain.

I fully agree with you (and it's one of the few strongly held opinions of mine), but I'm not really sure why you would bring this up within the context of patent trolls. Patents do run out, rather quickly even.

It's other intellectual property -- namely copyright -- that needs to run out way faster. The trademark system that we have right now is alright imo and doesnt need to be "fixed".
Where are those calls prior to Disney's opposition to the "Parentel Rights in Education" bill? Special districts are widely used in Florida. It's not like it's some great secret.
No that’s not my point at all. If you’re in that category of engineers who basically chase money and work as little as you can instead of chasing projects that align with your passion, well, Amazon is probably where you will go. Once you hit a critical mass of these people, it completely sours the culture and it becomes an irreversible black hole.
Yeah, I'm not fully convinced it's as bad as a lot are making it out to be. What is even considered a copyrightable code snippet?

If GPL code had a function like `int add_1(int x) { return x + 1; }` and you copy and pasted it, is that really stealing?

What about if you wrote identical code without having looked at the GPL code?

Or even if you've seen the GPL code but type it from memory?

Or if you copy from someone that illegally copied the GPL code?

It seems very non trivial with small functions like this, which is exactly the kind of code copilot outputs anyways. It's not like you're stealing large and unique parts of the code.
And then some.

I shipped a system two years ago that consisted of a handful of Pi4's running Chromium in kiosk mode, each pointing at a different page that was being served by an Intel NUC running .NET Core Razor pages on the local network.

And one of those pages was playing 2-6 video loops! Smooth experience without a hiccup. I mean, I expected it to work just fine, but I was still impressed.

Yes. People who are attractive are perceived as more talented, more trustworthy, and more intelligent. Those are qualities you want in an engineering hire.

Beyond that attractive people are more confident.

Same here. That SD is a huge bottleneck and a reliability Achilles heel as well.

Faster cards reduce the bottleneck somewhat, and constant write (videosurveillance) cards reduce the Achilles heel somewhat by increasing time between failure.

But only a real SSD fixes both at the same time.

I don't think it is a bad question to ask. In fact, there might even be negative biases against attractiveness for engineers. Will a dude with cheeto dust on his star wars t-shirt give a fair shake to a good looking woman who is wearing business attire and makeup, compared to another dude in a t-shirt?

Let's do a test. Who would you imagine is the better engineer of these two old timey people?

> How does the GC know there aren't any cyclic references in there to avoid tracing all the pointers the same way?

Mark-and-sweep, as well as generational-collectors, walk through all references starting from the root of all variables. In college-level toy garbage collectors, you usually use 1-bit of the pointers to mark where your algorithm has been to (or not). EDIT: The top 16-bits of x86_64 systems are often ignored, because x86 CPUs (AMD Ryzen or Intel i7 / Xeons) only have 48-bit physical memory space, and are a common set of bits used for this "marking" process)

Its basically just a depth-first-search or breadth-first-search over the graph of memory pointers. Its pretty simple in concept, but lots of details depending on performance considerations.
I'm not sure where you got the "non-private" in nature piece. I took this "identification tool" on the FAA website, https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/user_identification_... , and while yes, if you are, say, taking drone photos to hawk some particular product online, that would clearly fall under Part 107.

But an influencer that's just taking vacation photos, even if it's of their impossibly fashionable vacation and it seems obvious that there is an ulterior motive of building their "brand", seems like they could easily argue they're just doing it for recreation and would thus fall under the Recreational Exemption.
Thanks for making me feel old by not including agents in the list. Those seem even more similar to actors. At least until someone mentions BDI, then it's suddenly an entirely different universe.
The argument is that it's legacy and it will die because USB-C is better is a variety of ways. And in true Apple fashion, Apple is killing it somewhat aggressively. Though it's not just Apple. Something like a Google Pixelbook is USB-C only as well.

tl;dr: Someone walked up to the front desk of the San Francisco Marriott, claiming that he checked baggage with them but didn't have his claim check ticket or ID. The hotel staff let him into the bag room to take whatever he claimed was his. The rightful owner of the stolen baggage took Marriott to court after they refused to compensate him for the loss. An appeals court ruled that even though the theft was entirely due to Marriott's negligence, section 1859 of the California Civil Code meant that Marriott only owed him $1,000, despite the baggage's value being over $8,000.

EDIT: Corrected the amount that the court ruled Marriott owed him.

It's far from obvious to me. Unifying back ends and unifying products are night and day propositions. Nothing Apple is doing points towards a thin-client strategy.
I remember headlines calling the iPad a big iPod touch when it came out.

…which is maybe kinda true? I have no idea if they want to make it a “Pro” device, despite the Pro moniker, because you still have such weird multitasking UI paradigms and so many limitations in terms of pro features. (Audio routing comes to mind. You can’t have Audio Hijack for iOS.)

And the value proposition of a fully loaded iPad with keyboard case is pretty dubious to me compared to just getting a MacBook Air. I know, I know, less apps, not a touch screen…but I can just do so much more with a Mac, and with the ARM transition, I also get the insane battery life of an iPad.
Either this makes little sense, or it is (or may be) unclear. «Your product [must be] better than something equivalently priced» /and that performs the same function/. Now we are talking about large bistable colour displays - which have no competition.
> Collection PHI on platforms not certified for PHI is a HIPAA violation

No, it's not. (There are compliance reauirements, both direct and implicit on the HITECH definition of secured PHI, but “certified for PHI” is not one of them, despite marketing myths spread by the private HIPAA certification industry, which pedals certifications without legal meaning.)

> a good way to get sued for all of your dollars x10,

There's a time for every purpose, so this veto makes sense. However, I've operated a grid tied PV system for several years, and while I don't like being charged more, it makes sense. Grid tied systems are heavily subsidized by the utilty companies, and they have to recover the cost somehow. It's important that utilities have a viable economic model or they become unreliable.
This is a weird take.

For example: From a security POV it’s not meaningfully different from being given a download link for a binary.

I just landed a job after 8 months of applications. Oof. The usefulness probably varies city to city, but for NY tech jobs I got the most mileage out of Built In[1]. Being able to filter with a checkbox for "frontend jobs" was nice. I was also a daily user of Indeed (awful) and LinkedIn (saturated with bad jobs – but their alerts are lovely!).

All three of these sites have a large amount of "promoted" jobs that show up. I'd recommend filtering them out with a script or user style.

Their last innovation was called Mirasol SMI, which let them change color within one MEMS block (instead of just switching it between color/black), so that they wouldn't need subpixels to create color. They were way ahead of E Ink in these respects. Unfortunately Qualcomm pulled the plug shortly after the SMI announcement. I'm not sure which part Apple actually bought, whether it was just labs or actual IP as well.

It depends on the feature. If the car’s map was a subscription I’d prefer it, but only because car maps suck compared to Google and Apple, so it would save me money.
It might be. I actually have no idea how to assess the real number.

The Cisco survey(https://iapp.org/news/a/new-cisco-study-emphasizes-consumer-...) says 79% are willing to invest time or money to protect their privacy, but a lot less seem to actually do anything about it.

Almost everyone I know is on Facebook and Gmail, most seem to use Chrome, etc.

It seems to vary a lot with subculture. Programmers always seem to be more willing to sacrifice convenience, and people who watch porn seem to be more interested in privacy than most.

I suspect there's a pretty large segment that only cares in theory, at most, and only then just on principle because of the other people who have more interesting data.

Maybe not 95% but probably 90% of certain subsets at least.

> If that doesn't, I'm not sure what would.

It is not clear to me in which direction you think the question would be resolved, given a situation in which it would be possible to empirically demonstrate that the proponent of the lower figure (for S) was wrong. Maybe that is because I do not see the connection between your thought experiment and this issue: neither of the candidate values for S entail a particular distribution of states, let alone a particular sequence of future times when a molecule will approach the gate in a particular direction.

As I see it, your experiment is a difficult-to-perform way to demonstrate that, due to the inherent randomness of thermal processes, the entropy of a closed system may decrease when the conditions are right. This is explicitly covered in the article (see also "Monkeys typing Hamlet.")

Furthermore, in the case where the microstates of the system are measured in detail and the arrival times and velocities of the molecules at the gate are computed, one must add in the change in entropy resulting from those measurements and calculations. I am pretty sure this has been done, and is in accordance with the 2nd. law.

Your definition of 'subjective' in your penultimate paragraph is contrary to both common usage and what is being discussed in this thicket of threads, and appears to be closer to 'stochastic'. The outcome of the spin of a roulette wheel does not become subjective when different gamblers place different bets on it, or even when someone who has recorded statistics for its outcomes is able to place better-than-random bets.

The point of saying "fediverse" at all is to foreground interop via the ActivityPub protocol, rather than Mastodon which happens to be by some measures (ie "the most populous one or two instances run vanilla") currently the most popular user agent.

I suspect the big issue here is that macOS has far fewer restrictions on its use than iOS does. So Apple would need to either lock down macOS, or open up iOS. They can't lock down macOS because of professionals, and they really don't want to open up iOS.

I don't think the difference between Go and more expressive languages is about whitespace. If the only way a language achieved fewer lines of code was by cramming more characters into a line, I wouldn't give it any credit for that..

> Has there been much innovation in exceptions among 21st-century languages?

Yes, there has, mostly in the ability to use exceptions less than previously. With Java (at least old-school Java, not sure where it is now) exceptions are the only type safe language-supported way for a function to terminate with multiple types. If a function has multiple possible return types that don't have an inheritance relationship, you can choose between 1) returning Object and dynamically checking for the specific types, 2) defining a return class with a field for each possibility, or 3) picking one type to be the "expected" outcome and defining all other outcomes as exceptional. With 1) you lose many of the benefits of static type-checking; with 2) you get code bloat; with 3) you get the hazards of using a nonlocal control mechanism when you don't want that power.

If your language has sum types, you have a better option for those situations.
Howso? Those people cannot pervert the actual transaction, they will be slashed, and the money I believe goes to the node who proves them wrong, as incentive (don't quote me). It remains completely decentralized and effectively ungovernable, which I believe is the primary goal of cryptocurrency. I don't think it was ever meant to address the "rich get richer" effect.

Also, the practical upshot of the previous dynamic was that only people who could afford thousands of GPUs/ASICs/FPGAs could verify transactions, so it was basically the same effect with more steps.
The last time I worked on a react native project my team and I wondered all the time if we were doing something seriously wrong or not.

It seemed like very popular and commonly used dependencies had poor community support. Upgrades were often painful. Breakage during routine package upgrades occurred far more than in our non-RN typescript projects.

We did a lot of research and asked around but it seemed to be par for the course.

Overall I’d guess that we still saved time over learning and developing with native solutions for iOS and android, but it left me feeling like the ecosystem could be so much more productive still.

I’ll admit I recognized the need to contribute to libraries I saw were lacking support, but the project wasn’t my main focus and I don’t think my employer cared much. In the future I should definitely complain less and help more.
I'm interested in enforcement mechanisms a European court would have over a purely American company that did track European customers.

Just the characterization of Disney's opposition to the "Parental Rights in Education" bill as "misbehaving", is telling. Voicing you opposition of government legislation is a right enshrined in the first amendment. It's not "misbehaving"--it's exercising a constitutional right.

What happens if the Florida legislature flipped Blue next election, and started passing legislation against right-leaning entities for "misbehaving" by voicing opposition to more liberal social policies?

What happens if the legislature decides to use eminent domain to repossess your house because they disagree with a Tweet you made?

Hopefully, you can see how these actions are pernicious attacks on the first amendment.
My understanding is that it is built #1 for running Infinity Engine games. While it can also be used for a new game, I think one may be limited to dealing with BG-type game data, such as 2DA.
This is only going to happen in the longer term if at all because the construction standards and rents for commercial buildings are so much higher. Most likely is that alternative commercial concerns find uses for these spaces at least in the short to medium term. It is also the case that a lot of manufacturing, light industry, fashion, and other such got pushed out by tech over time and could potentially move back in.

I have more of an enterprise product working with school districts. It did take some time to get meetings with users, but I did get them. In my case it was similar to any enterprise endeavor. I had a champion to make introductions to the different users and then asked those users to introduce me to another user group, etc.

And I am doing that in a variety of school systems to get feedback.

I do find getting 30-60 minutes with a user or group of users extremely valuable. You've really got to try and dig into their use case and understand them. And tell them to stop telling you what they think other people might do and get them to focus on themselves. Everyone likes to tell me what other users might want, and then asking them, well, do you do this? "Nope, but other people might..."

But once you get through that, the rewards are fantastic. You can build some frameworks around your users and have a much better intuition of who would like what and how they would use it. Then reach back out and ask.

One other method I use is an ask for features button on the app. Once they ask for a feature, I ask if they are open to connecting over zoom so I can deeply understand their use case. And sometimes they get their feature built, and sometimes they get something much better.
I suspect it went into the settlement payment. Wouldn't it be ironic if so many principled advocates of open source and supporters of the GNOME project had their funds paid directly to a patent troll by GNOME themselves?
