> I mean, to the author, thank you. Can't believe it cost $150,000+ for the open source community to go through that litigation...

150k isn't much. Probably doesn't get you through initial motions against a well funded adversary.

> Dorsey, and all the SV billionaires who made money off open source,

I wouldn't know about his actions in other open source areas, but Dorsey specifically has directly funded defense against patent and vexatious litigation around Bitcoin and against open source developers. https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2022...

In particular, a billionaire funded party filed a lawsuit against a dozen current and former developers (including myself!) alleging that we owned him some $6 billion dollars in damages for failing to grant him bitcoins that he claims he lost due to a 'hack' (which sounded like something out of a bad movie plot). The plaintiff alleged that the software's MIT license was irrelevant and that the people wrote the software owe a fiduciary duty to make whole users who lost funds through no fault of the developers. ... a conclusion that would probably mark the end of volunteer contributions in open source generally since no sane person would voluntarily subject themselves to unlimited liability due to publishing some free code.

Fortunately, at considerable cost we were able to convince the court that they failed to establish that their action had more than a fanciful potential for success and got it dismissed in initial motions (though presumably they'll appeal). It also sounds like the same party intends to launch a multitude of additional lawsuits on other basis including patent infringement (which they've been filing 3-4 patents per week in furtherance of, in an apparent attack via sheer volume), and has already filed defamation lawsuits against several journalists and community members ( https://cswarchive.info/ ). Direct defense costs across all parties and actions is in the millions now, without counting the man hours and stress of the defendants, and continuing to grow without a clear end in sight. And all this is just trouble created by a single entity.

Support from those who benefit from open source systems is crucial but because of the astronomical cost of defending even laughable lawsuits attackers will continue to have an upper hand without public policy changes.

We benefit substantially already from the 2010 SPEECH act, which protects US persons from the UK's abusive libel regime. The EU is apparently considering similar legislation with respect to the UK that if in place would likely have protected at least one of the people currently being sued. But the abuse of lawsuits for coercion and extortion aren't limited to libel or the UK-- rather, attackers will use the easiest path and with that one closed they'll use others.
The 28-core Xeon W-3275M is similar or even slightly better than either the 5950X or 12900KS on multicore workloads, so it won't change the picture much. Overall, M1 Ultra CPU is comparable to a Zen3 32-core Threadripper if you aggregate over various workloads, with the difference that the Ultra is a more flexible architecture and thus will be more capable in mixed scenarios.

Edit: I'd say that the Ultra is a much better bang for your buck than the Threadripper, unless you absolutely need humongous amounts of RAM or macOS does not work for you.

This is a hugely stupid move that companies made.

Redis 7.0.0 GA: Release Notes
Wh is a measurement of energy, but W is a measurement of power (that is, the rate of energy). They are different units of measurement and you're mixing them up here. Here, you've doubled the original rating of 15 watts up to 30 watts; that's the result of the confusion between energy and power. You don't divide the wattage in half when you run it for half the time, nor double it when you run it for twice the time; that's not how power works. That's how energy works.

In your original post, the number was 15 watts, and you figured it produced 5 ounces of water in 30 minutes. So you then figured that 3 watts can produce 1 ounce of water in 30 minutes. So far so good; that's correct. If the panel continuously produces 3 watts of power (remember: watts are a rate of energy) over a period of one hour, that's 3 watt-hours of energy. For 30 minutes, it's 1.5 watt-hours of energy. Thus, it took 1.5 watt-hours of energy to produce 1 ounce of water. (1000 watt-hours) * (1 ounce / 1.5 watt-hours) = 666 ounces.

It may make more sense to translate this into distance, which I think is more intuitive for most people. Watts (power) are like miles-per-hour (velocity), and watt-hours (energy) are like miles (position). The panel runs at 15 MPH. After 30 minutes it has run 7.5 miles and produced 5 ounces of water. Thus, it could produce 1 ounce of water by running just 1.5 miles. It still runs at a speed of 15 MPH no matter what.
I think it has plenty enough of batteries for building things that can be used to build things. Very good abstractions for the most part, with mostly good implementations (ie. cases like parking_lot mutex show where it fails, and the `async` stuff is bit sketch).

Don't understand and don't support initiatives that want to stuff it full of actual applications and stuff (like http server, async runtime) etc. Just use I don't know, something else at that point.

I think this depends largely on whether you live alone. I would never go back to an office, even part time. One of my best friends lives by himself and struggled hard during the covid-induced requirement to work from home.

Much like schools double as a day care for children, work often doubles as a social club for adults.
Rust may give a subset of file system functionality that all general file systems should in theory support in the front interface, but you can access platform specific functionality by asking for the extended interface, which you put inside a platform check block. You have the full functionality there.
It must be possible for all the remote workers to gather together and actually rent/make an office like this right (with like, 10 people in, 10 small offices and a shared lunchroom/kitchen)? If you’re not looking for a bunch of profit the rent would sort of remain bearable too.
Southern California is beginning to see more water restrictions - each and every desalination tech advancement is a very hopeful development for the region, and many others in the world that can't get enough freshwater. I hope they can generally work this up to factory scale and put it behind a solar farm and see if that can supply a lot of homes.
My expectation is that at the age you'd expect to die, you're retired and not working for quite many years before you'd actually die, so a health event at that stage of life would not change your income.
That's a strawman. We're not advocating for terseness in character count (otherwise we'd be using languages like APL and Jelly), but for better abstractions. There are other benefits than character count.

* Having a lot of repetitive code makes it easy to make a mistake when you edit one copy and forget about the others.
* A lack of abstraction can obscure intent, making you focus on implementation details.
* Having less code overall makes it easier to keep track of it in your head.

OPML has always seemed to me to be a hugely underused technology. A list of someone's feeds is a reasonable indicator of their interests, and bashing different OPML files together feels like it'd be a good way of finding other people with interests that cross with your own.

Related: I've only just now signed up for a newsletter on Substack and it turns out SS is basically a feed reader. Like - the iOS app is literally a feed reader. A list of articles, the concept of what is read vs unread, a vague stab at a discovery mechanism. It's Feedly, only not as good.

I wonder if we could see areas of major cities cropping up that operate on a different timezone's schedule, similar to how "chinatowns" formed in many cities. For example, having a neighborhood in a major European city that operates on Pacific time (restaurants, streetlights, noise complaints, etc) could make it easier for anyone that's working remotely in the target timezone.
(4) is common among people who move internationally more than once or twice. Making friends as an adult is already difficult, and knowing that you will move on after a couple of years makes it even more difficult. You have a reason to socialize with your coworkers, so they will become the center of your new social life. If you moved to a popular expat destination, you may be able to find other expats who are similarly disconnected from normal life. Beyond that, making friends requires crossing cultural barriers, which takes a lot of effort and extraversion.

Nothing at all so far.

I've been pretty careful to be polite though - the majority of my scrapers work no more than once an hour, and the few I've done that are more frequent than that don't run more than once every ten minutes (GitHub Actions can't be scheduled more often than that).

Those tend to be sites which I would expect to be able to handle the traffic very easily.

When I'm operating sites myself I don't tend to even notice a scraper that only hits a single page every few minutes. The things that hurt me are crawlers that hit every page on a site, potentially more than a request per second and with traffic patterns that are certain to hit un-cached sources.
I find it hard to imagine any country actually cares, and even if they do, I find it hard to imagine they could reasonably check whether anyone is there for tourism, or just to work.
> When there is community disagreement and library churn, I think it ends up evolving better, more liked solutions;

That's an optimistic way of thinking about. I feel hesitant to pull in libraries because you don't know when or why the community is going decide to change. Then your that fool using that old code, stuck with sudden tech debt.

It also makes stuff like stackoverflow weird to use where you get different answers depending on the year. I think the biggest problem is with libraries that try to make things more ergnomic. Learning about pin and how to use it is weird, everyone keeps recommending some higher level library.
Were the answers to the security questions truly secret? At my last company the questions were all publicly available. Start date, name of manager, etc. It only blocked the laziest of adversaries.
There are plenty of biological mechanisms that can build up immense forces over a long time period. The osmotic pressure that plants use to squeeze apart paving slabs on a sidewalk is a good example.

Whats hypocritical about it?

What are you possibly going to do about it that isn't already covered under a more general and better fitting "lets find ways to treat each other fairly that minimizes the opportunity for our monkey brains to fuck up and associate traits and characteristics with superficial features. there has got to be a way to do this, jesus christ"?

By focusing on just that aspect, fuckability, you imply that there is something different about this trait that needs special attention outside of finding ways to deal with each other fairly despite the tendency to judge based on appearances. There isn't a way that doesn't start getting weird immediately.
Apparently no one read the article.
Not OP, but sure why not. Just buy, say, a $4000 workstation with support from one of the usual vendors and sell it to you for $4500.

> Their promotion of subscription pricing over other business models is anti-consumer.

It's funny you should mention this, because Apple's compatibility treadmill is one of the biggest things driving developers towards the subscription model! If you have to put in work every year just to keep your app working on newer iOS versions, you have to collect revenue from your users every year to pay for that work.
The problem is that southern California is trying to grow a shit-ton of crops that aren't suitable for the environment there. The almond industry is particularly guilty in this regard.

Desalination will never scale to a level suitable to supply that industry. If anything they'll take that water and just grow even more crops, while still sucking the aquifer dry.

Thing is, aquifers compact when you draw water from them too much. That compaction can never be undone. They are slowly rendering that land permanently uninhabitable.

> Docker is definitely a lot slower

Docker on macOS is busted. I have heard that folks have had much better success with alternative implementation such as nerdctl. M1 virtualisation on itself is very fast and has almost no overhead.

> I have read of massive performance improvement with Linux on m1pro though so it might be a swap to that when more distros are available.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Doubt that M1 distros will ever become more than an impressive tech demo.

> Question is, has MacOS become bloated or not had attention to performance to make best use of the new hardware?

MacOS will always be "more bloated" than a basic Linux installation, it's an opinionated, fully features user OS that runs many more services in the background, e.g. code verification, filesystem event database, full-disk indexing etc. But the CPU/GPU performance is generally excellent. Of course, it boils down to the software you are running, if it is a half-assed port (like Docker on Mac) seems to be, it will eat up any advantage the hardware offers.

Why can't all patent applications be mandatorially opened for a public comments period for a period of say 3 months for anyone else to file any objections? The act of patent application provisionally would protect the idea till the patent is granted.

Then the examiner could look at both the application and the comments and decide whether to grant or reject the application.

100%. I've had...three people in my life who I stayed close to after changing jobs. Two of them I worked with in two different workplaces, which I think is a large reason why (the relationship necessarily was > a single workplace), but even then, I'm not working with them, have in fact moved across the country from them, and so the relationships have atrophied some (though we still talk periodically).

The third I married.
A buggy program is a buggy program.

But sometimes you have other bugs you know about that you want to fix first. Or you want to try out something else, first. As long as your builds report violations, you will know you aren't done. You might suspect one or other warning is why something mysteriously doesn't work, and try tackling that. Or you know already, and have bigger fish to fry.

Before you are done, and ship, you will certainly have fixed everything, because your release build had to complete without violations. You are strictly better off making your own work schedule choices.

I would like for Rust to be used more in places where C is today. But that can't happen if it does not get wider acceptance.
It's a shame the default has become subscription models.
You seem to be desperately angling for somebody to say that the evil reactor management orders one of the workers to be sacrificed by going into the highly radioactive reactor vessel. Why?
I see the two as quite different.

To me, "kind" implies taking time and effort for someone, investing in them. That might mean engaging in conflict with them, if that seems to be what they need.

"Nice," on the other hand, suggests to me being polite, delicate, and never making anyone uncomfortable.

Niceness makes no enemies and wins no friends. It benefits the nice one more than anyone else, and is principally a strategy for staying out of trouble.

Kindness costs the giver something, sometimes the risk of giving offense, sometimes their time, sometimes the loss of power and influence because of making an unpopular choice that helps someone who really needed it. It is principally a strategy for taking care of others.

That's how I see it, anyway. YMMV.

> A journal of failed experiments might prevent a lot of duplicated effort.

We need to consider first that duplicated effort is not necessarily wasted effort. It could be that one scientist who tried the experiment and found that it failed didn't account for certain externalities, or just did a poor job. Maybe trying it again is just what needs to happen for a discovery to be made.

>usually the thing that keeps wages low isn't business owner collusion it's the availability of workers accepting work with a low wage.

But if you have a labor shortage and low wages at the same time, that means that workers accepting work with a low wage aren't available, but the employers are keeping wages low anyway. (And in this context, poor working conditions amount to "low wages" because they decrease the value of the job to the employee.)

In capitalism, "labor shortage" means "the employers had better pay their employees more, or else they won't have the employees to compete against other employers who will pay more".
Yep, and everyone learns about lots of history, math and other stuff. But if you don't use it regularly and, e.g., work as chef in a restaurant, you might/ will forget a lot over time.
Yeah; the few times I've suggested friends apply for jobs where I work, it's always been with the understanding "in a department different than mine". It's "hey, the culture, comp, and work here is pretty good, you might like it", not "let's work together".
Sharing your wealth with your family before you die goes hand in hand with it being acceptable to depend on them before you die.

If they are catastrophic, you may have to fix them to make progress. But most are not, and you can make other progress. Leaks are not. Cargo should not be dictating your work schedule.
Pretty sure the unspoken rule for years was to book the minimum then make contact for the rest at a good discount. Airbnb knows this which is why they charge such a high fee and don't give rats butt about most clients.
> If its the latter then that seems like it might be a non-starter for people with families.

If you can't make the time to spend a few days a quarter with your workmates in exchange for the most generous and fair remote working package then perhaps you're not a good fit for Airbnb. Which is totally fair. But they're not exactly taking the piss here. For many (many) people a week long retreat is a perk not a burden.
willfully hurt? Come now. Sometimes kids are completely irrational, and like adults, need punishment. They aren't always in a state where they can absorb an "explaining".
