a doomsday script triggered by a self-destruct plastic container which is eco-and-economically beneficial until. . . a robot goes amok in a toy department, a lunar capsule falls into space, a computer-control experiment is fouled up, and all hell breaks loose in the underground tubes. Omniverous Mutant 59 (a bacteria) feeds on plastic and just think of those vulnerable possibilities -- eyeglasses, dentures, baggies, etc. -- while London detonates and incinerates in the volatile process.
I disagree with this. I think the basic concept of Git is beautiful, but the implementation of some of the derivative operations are distinctly inelegant.

For example, I hate the use of "ours" and "theirs" in merges and rebases. I understand the theory of why it works the way it does and why it's different when merging versus rebasing, but I just think it's downright confusing, and I still have to double check every time to make sure I accept the right changes. I don't understand why they couldn't just use the branch name (or branch + commit hash).
That's like saying under-cooked vegetables will wear out your cutlery faster than cooked vegetables. It's probably technically true but in practice it doesn't matter.
Frankly they lost their magic not long after buying Enix. Both companies were amazing, they had some great games for 2-3 years after the merger, then it was just drivel. No I didn't like the dizneee meets final fantasy installments.
When this happened the vast majority of people I talked to were convinced that there was no unintended acceleration problem and that the US government was going after Japanese automakers to protect the investment it made in US automakers with the auto bailout (because of the 2008 financial crisis).
So it's more like me announcing that, if everyone in line lets me cut to the front, I will burn a $100 bill and enrich them all slightly through deflation. I wonder if any transactions ever just never get confirmed because they never pay enough gas fee to not be pre-empted?
I worked on Prio, now divvi up by ISRG. I don't even think that was really the best solution out there, but certainly better than the status quo.

Honestly I should look to see if there's places that are working on privacy preserving metrics systems and apply.
Using Telemedicine to Address the Access Gap for Opioid Treatment
I was taught by a great Historian that the United States of America was the loss that the Catholic Church suffered, the primary loss, due to the sale of indulgences and antagonizations leading up to Protestantism.

They forfeited America by not carrying out the Reformation in due time.
Thank you for sharing the conversation. I didn’t see this thread.
WASM typically has very good startup time only because the binary WASM format is so much faster to parse than javascript. See js-framework-benchmark, "Consistently interactive", Yew even beats vanillajs by about 4%.

Having said that, I still wouldn't try to use Rust as a React replacement for other reasons. Maybe in a few years.
Don’t get me wrong. I bought an iPod Touch the first gen as soon as iOS 2 was released in 2008. I also bought an iPod Touch 4th gen when I was trying to avoid AT&T. I finally bought an iPhone 4 on Verizon.
Who would pay those futures off, and why would someone believe they would do so?
Some of us tried XHTML. A little bit of extra consistency in syntax and closed tags was rewarded with being able to use tooling built around XML expectations. I dug that.

And then I found out there were some browsers that wouldn't handle it right unless content-type headers were set up right on the server, and of course that made it an extra pain, especially on commodity hosting where you might not have that remotely under your control.

The "strict warnings"/"rendering problems crash the page" setting was also... mixed. Certainly prompted you to pinpoint the issue and fix it but that level of nag often felt unnecessarily militant after what everyone was used to.
Redis's interface and docs are a joy to work with. Everything just feels so straightforward and uncomplicated. The config file stuff gets a bit weirder, but it's still pretty easy.
Legally, this is a screw. DO NOT sign this form.

I'd love for SFC to have _joint_ copyright with me. I'd be glad to assign them copyright to odd lines of my code, while I keep the even ones, for instance. If they do enforcement for me, that's great. If damages help sustain their operations, so much the better.

However, this assignment allows them to:

- Sell my GPL code to Apple for use in their new iPad

- Relicense my AGPL code under the BSD license (or vice-versa)

... and so on. The whole point of free software licenses is to act as a sort of constitution or code-of-conduct. This just hands over the keys to the castle.

I would love to have this service, but I would never blindly hand over my copyright like this. I would definitely NOT sign anything with language like "irrevocably appoints Conservancy as their attorney-in-fact to take any necessary steps to perfect Conservancy’s rights under this Agreement." This just feels predatory.

I'm not attributing malice, but SFC should go back and draft an agreement that's fair to both sides. SFC should guarantee basic rights, such as that the license won't be changed without my permission, not "The Conservancy will use its discretion for any relicensing of the Works under other free and open source software licenses. Decisions about relicensing made by Conservancy will apply to its assignees and successors."

I've seen not-for-profits drift from their roots, in one case, even selling all similar assets and rights to a for-profit.

(As a footnote, if they wanted this to be sustainable, they might give the assignor some portion of damages if they ever need to enforce the license)
I don’t overcomplicate it. Just create a new note and write. Often times I’ll create something for each day and just jot whatever down throughout the day. A lot of developers keep a random text file open all the time anyway for that type of thing, so just think of it that way.

I’ll add a ## header if needed to separate a topic here and there too.

If I remember an earlier note that was similar I’ll [[ to create an internal link.

Copying and pasting PDFs, images or other reference material is easy since by Obsidian can just copy those files into a local attachments folder.

If there’s a good reference video on YouTube or something, you can just embed it.

If my sidebar of notes gets longer than the screen I’ll take a few minutes and sort them into folders.

Honestly, there’s no fancy or organized workflow here. I just keep it open and write as it makes sense, then clean up every now and then when needed. Whatever is most comfortable for you is the right way. It’s your notes.
So any Linux kernel contributor in the last 30 years can pull their license and force an immediate "emergency rewrite" of everything they've contributed? Since other Linux developers would no longer have a license to use it?

That seems unlikely, or somebody would do it just for the laughs. (I certainly would)

I am a Software Engineer who currently works in data. I have spent more than half of my career in technical leadership and this is a direction that I want to continue to grow and develop myself into. I am open to learning and working with technologies that are new to me as ultimately I consider myself a polyglot.
Apple made no further moves to “lock down” iOS to force people to use the App Store after 2006. If Apple listened to public opinion, the iOS App Store wouldn’t be the shit show it is today.
You have that completely wrong. GMO's ushered in reduced pesticide use and the pesticides that are used are safer. I say this as a fertilizer company agronomist that was working when GMO's appeared. The amount of fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) around GMO's is high.
It depends on your viewpoint. GPL code authors rarely have the means to pursue legal action in response to license violations. As a result, GPL code is generally "stolen" with impunity.
TCM has run a bunch of pre-Code movies. "Gold Diggers of 1933" is a fun example.
The claim that people and companies are leaving a 2x yield on the floor (well, field) just because they're stupid does not seem plausible to me, so I suspect you missed some aspect of it.

(The most obvious could be that nobody want to buy some of the other crops, so while you could get the calories out, you can't get the dollars out, and the calories would go to waste if everyone did that.)
it's saturated, but not oversaturated

if you looked at any aggregator's "upcoming NFT launch calendar" 8 months ago you could have easily came to the same conclusion that its saturated and too hard to stand out

instead the space has grown by two orders of magnitude since

last week the "amazing sale du jour" was Moonbirds. Some articles were saying "this may look like an overnight success but it really built off of an existing community" read between the lines and you'll find that the existing community (Proof Collective) was formed in January

it does require some meticulousness, but you can learn it
To me the main difference is whether I get to work with code or people. Technical tracks are for people who want to work on code, but TLs don't. Technical leads spend all their time working through design documents and in meetings. They are technical meetings and documents, but they are still not actually creating things. They are artists who have gone from making art to helping guide other artists. Definitely a valuable role in a company, but whether you call it management or not doesn't change the fact that they no longer get to make the art.

I want roles in companies for the technical artists to progress. Where you get harder problems, work on more complex issues, do things that require more research and autonomy to solve. These skills are also valuable and needed in companies and most don't have a way of retaining that talent as they have no track for them.
Many people make an obscene amount of money from this. I think that answers your question why many also put so much time and effort into it.
Yup that's a good point, and one I haven't seen before.
No.

If you want your assertions to be taken seriously around here, providing your own citations for your claims would help.

What is your field?

As someone who likes the idea of and quality of images that TikZ produces but not how obtuse it is, I've done a fair amount of research into this space at times. However, I've never heard of Ipe. Even if I had, I'm not sure I'd use it. The material is basically devoid of examples. How does one learn how to use it?
I will plainly repeat my citation from the previous c.elegans paper
""the inability to reliably identify all neurons within whole-brain recordings has precluded a full picture with circuit-level details.""
and the lack of glutamate receptors mapping.

Those are sufficent to asses we are bottlenecked on data. We lack theories especially because we lack data. Yes of course we have a lot of data, which is useless without a complete picture. try debbugging a complex software with only partial, limited logging, the task become easily intractable.
But it seems you are more interested in a clash than in sharing knowledge. My argumentation is sound and valid, which make it cogent, authority is unecessary to come to an agreement.
On one hand, if you're forcing people to work, let them do what they're good at. On the other hand, it's slavery. I don't know that you can trust coerced people to do these types of work without excessive oversight, either.

Sentenced to work might be better for recidivism than just locking people up though? Lots of moral hazard and bad incentives though. In the US we see plenty of corrupt judges getting kickbacks from "court services" and rehabs, probably much worse in RU, especially if they can sell them into slavery.
Usurious loans are bad because they effectively enslave borrowers through ever increasing debts that can never be paid off. Nothing of the sort is happening here, it's just people speculating on an asset. They paid 4k in fees because they expected their returns to be greater than that.
You’re not really responding to my points. You’re trying to enforce a sense of male victim hood that isn’t supported by the evidence you’re presenting.
Does Rust have the same kind of WASM layers that C# does with Blazor? they seem to have made alot of headway in the .NET community with Blazor in getting a WASM based frontend up and going and it can do...well, just about anything you'd expect an SPA to do.
Is AES-XTS a secure mode? Or is that something else?
> others attempts to re-write the GPL

what does this mean? Is it a rewrite if the interpretation changes? How does one infer what the person granting this license "really meant"?

I think it's wrong not to get lawyers involved, because the laymen gets legalese interpretation wrong all the time (and it's an easy mistake to make - "doesn't match what developers understood the GPLv2 to mean at all").

GPL enforcement should be scary - banking on the folks who owns the copyright not enforcing it should not be possible. Selective enforcement should not be a thing either. This can only be possible if an overarching entity with funding does the enforcement.
> Why innovation prizes fail?

Modern innovation prizes, like Elon or say Twitter's attempt to figure out how to monetize comes with unsurprisingly draconian IP shackles. You work becomes there and you can't make money off of it. You get a relatively small reward for a huge boon to someone else. Companies spawn out of innovation prizes, not free ideas for the sponsors to profit off of.

Yeah, the Twitter policy here is 1) ask the user to delete the bad tweet 2) tell the user to change their password if they think they've been hijacked 3) internally investigate any credible claims of a security issue on their side. They have zero interest in allowing users to participate in any such investigation.
Fitting in with the period of Pre-Code Hollywood, Al Smith's 1928 campaign for US President saw considerable public displays of anti-Catholic prejudice.[0]

It is remarkable to see that, not even 100 years later, the US has an openly practicing Catholic president[1] without it being much of an issue.

In a longer-term and probably more far-reaching sense, it is worth noting that since 2006, a majority of the US Supreme Court Justices have been Catholic. [2]

I'm curious why you think "capitalistic objectives" mean bad films.

After all, capitalistic objectives means making movies that people are willing to pay to see. Wouldn't that mean better movies?
Lisp code is written in those parenthesis because in lisp, that is how you write a list. This means that your code is data that you can easily compute.
It's trivial in lisp to quote some code and operate on it, also it means the macro system looks a lot like writing "regular" code.
This opens up programming paradigms such as language extending, DSLs and meta programming (writing programs that write programs) that are clumsy, difficult or impossible in other languages.

When someone says "In Lisp, everything is a list" ... They really mean everything
I think the core concepts behind git are extremely elegant, but the complexity of using it effectively and the very large number of operations make it substantially less elegant.
Rollercoaster Tycoon!

The game is beautiful, performant, and almost entirely hand-written assembly by one guy.

Plus, the parks themselves can look very elegant (kind of like factorio factories).

I disagree that it's not worth thinking about the next 1,000 years, but I think you're right that right now we can't realistically plan more than 50 years ahead.

Nope. Works on local files. Open source.

Tilapia is the tofu of fish. It tastes like nothing on its own but is a massive sponge to flavors you throw at it.
Let’s think positively here, people. Clearly we just need to invent a straw that you can eat afterwards. Maybe it turns into chewing gum?
ah alright. Definitely an odd decision, as to my knowledge there is no requirement to ever plug in the car. So it can wind up basically just running as a gasoline vehicle.

1. Taking a CS course so that I was incentivized to cross the threshold into "real" algorithmic problems. Once you have a few basic CS concepts in your tool belt, you can tackle the majority of programming tasks; it's just a matter of grinding through the specific system you're working on to spot where the concepts apply.

2. Reading, debugging, modifying source code. Reading is harder than writing, which means that it's good practice: "why is this hard to read? Is it necessarily hard, or is it something about the implementation?"

3. Taking less advice from random blog posts. When I started getting good in the 2000's, it was quite a thing for developers to self-promote by making cookie-cutter blogs about OO pattern du jour or "code katas" or something. Today YT content probably does the same kind of thing with new fads. When you cut through it, it mostly isn't technical knowledge, it's sophistry. You don't want to restrict yourself to "never view this stuff", especially not at the beginning where you're looking for a branch to cling to, but you do want to locate it in a place of pop culture and fashion relative to the actual problem-solving work.

4. Doing things two or three times in different ways. This is a way of testing whether advice is good. In work you may not get the chance to, but as a side project, you can try doing things with different styles of coding and seeing if one way is harder, substantially reduces your error rate or SLOC, etc.

5. Applying logic and philosophical thinking to coding. To do task 4 properly you have come up with success metrics. What makes code successful, and what makes it fail, and can you encode those things as a rule for yourself? If you can encode it as a rule for yourself, can you then automate that rule so that it is enforced by definition? The better your critical thinking is, the more you can work through these entanglements. Both math and philosophy can spark some ideas towards this end, as well as plain old life experience.

Programming can be both satisfying and frustrating: when you're able to apply the basic concepts well to solve something it almost always feels great. When you have to deal with things other people built, it's almost always frustrating.
I think you've missed the fundamental difference.

If I purchase your location data I can use that to hire a hitman and whack you at home. If I purchase an ad for everybody that lives in NYC they get to see an ad.

Actually most cases of runoff these days are from lawn fertilizer and manure from very large livestock operations. The later is on its way to being controlled with farmers having to fill out and get approved plans for manure disposal. Nothing is being done that I am aware about lawn fertilizer overuse and I am not certain as to why?

Interestingly this talk by Casey Muratori [1] makes a reasonable rhetorical case that Amdahl’s law (about process parallelization), Brooks’ law (about team network communication) and Conway’s Law (about how organization communication shapes software structure) might all be variants on the same basic principle of trade off between parallelizable and unparallelizable work…

The only papers I've seen that indicate GMO has reduced pesticide use were published by various industry groups with unclear ties to pesticide manufacturers. Academic papers seem to indicate pesticide use is higher, especially as the pests develop a resistance to the pesticide. E.g. https://enveurope.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/2190-471...

> Contrary to often-repeated claims that today’s genetically-engineered crops have, and are reducing pesticide use, the spread of glyphosate-resistant weeds in herbicide-resistant weed management systems has brought about substantial increases in the number and volume of herbicides applied.
