The SFC / related entities have worked with GPL developers to sue. All they need is a developer to let them act as their lawyer (for free).

This is what is remarkable. The SFC is so toxic in the open source developer community that despite their being a ton of a developers, not that many want to jump on the SFC train. So yes, this makes it hard for them.

Linus joked the title of a talk should be:

"Lawyers: poisonous to openness, poisonous to community, poisonous to
projects".

So an approach for SFC might be to write code and start contributing. One challenge they might face is that a) they can't write code and/or b) getting developers to write for them that can do meaningful work may be difficult given their reputation and c) open source projects might choose not to accept their code because they know they'd be getting in bed with the SFC.

Realize the SFC views are very left field. They are now arguing in the Vizio case that the GPL is not a copyright license but some kind of contract with users. This is so backwards its crazy.

One solution, they write some very cool software everyone WANTS to use, then they could sue everyone. Downside, folks might stop using their software.

Developers have sued - that's mostly been fine I think. Harald Welte did a lot for the GPL. I liked most of his cases. He kept it focused on GPL license being available, and source code being available. He even won cases where links to source code in documentation were not allowed which was an interesting twist. But fundamentally his litigation followed Linus's and many other developers views, I give you my code, you give me yours, we are square. He did over 100 cases, and was successful every time that I know of.

I think the SFC is going to be on much thinner ground with their Vizio case but we will see.
> We feel that package management is best left in the hands of distributions.

So now instead of packaging a library once, you need to do it for every possible distribution?

It's not just the US. Without going into the nuances of the US, things like burnout are severely on the rise among the younger crowds all over the world despite some of them working as much or less than before in several countries.

Most of these countries are adopting American office concepts. More statistics, more pressure, more management / talks with management, more "work family", tighter interviews, you name it. All stuff that pressures the Average Joe who just wants to make a living. For SE, the majority of these jobs are best described as "gluing APIs together", nowhere near the prestigious "you really gotta want it!" jobs they are sold as. Now add to that while SE does earn above average in all of these countries, it isn't so luxurious as a non-senior that you could pick your nose and live super comfortably no matter which city you live in.

So the pressure got worse and both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators are down. Add onto that a bunch of other societal problems. If anything, it's more surprising people aren't expecting half the populace to burn out at some point in life.

Sounds like you worked for a small business and didn't know your own worth. You had the leverage the whole time.

I think that’s a lovely page and some excellent sentiments in many areas.

However I feel that it’s important to accept reality and not attempt to redefine words.

A startup is literally defined as to “get something moving”, I would say at this point that gitlab is definitely in the realm of “in motion” and has a significant amount of inertia. It is not in the first stages of becoming a company, it is a relatively well-oiled, thought through and publicly traded company.

Obviously terms can be fuzzy, there may be no single event that defines gitlab as no longer being a startup and no particular point in time being the point of state alteration.

But gitlab as it exists today definitely does not meet my own personal and informal definition of startup, and I suspect that is true for many people.

This is correct. See my comment downthread about the Rankine cycle. As well as a source of heat, for efficient electricity generation you also need a source of "coolth".

The reactor is helium cooled. Their own collateral (https://usnc.com/mmr-energy-system/ ; annoying scrolljacking) shows shipping the heat to e.g. industrial process use or electricity generation - but for generation, you'll need a standard steam turbine + condenser setup. Which consumes water for cooling the condenser.

Also from their web page:

> FCM® fuel cannot be re-processed using currently available reprocessing schemes.

They list this as a nonproliferation benefit, but it has downsides.

I feel like problems of harassment and organized mobs should be solved by government action.

We can self police for politeness, and keeping people on topic but the moment people start using a venue to organize harassment, the victim and venue owner ought to be able to rely on a higher party to adjudicate justice.
Every couple years is probably more accurate. Hardware fails all the time, especially at scale. Hard drives fail all the time, solar equipment isn't magically different. Once a full neighborhood has solar, someone will have a defective panel, a defective inverter, an improper install that needs to be redone, storm damage, panels that need cleaning, panels that get damaged from cleaning, or a building gets renovated/replaced/destroyed.
The intention is what counts.
FWIW, I'm far more interested in the gun rights case than this one, and I don't think anyone seriously believes we'll get nationwide concealed carry out of it. The best reasonable case from my perspective is that we'll get "strict scrutiny" applied against the Second Amendment which will in turn invalidate a number of "may-issue" permit systems and perhaps some "category" bans.

I can't imagine a ruling stronger than saying "a state must provide a means for citizens to legally carry a firearm outside their home". Even in that case, there are all kinds of legal impediments that blue states would use to make it as difficult as possible.

> In short, America is soon going to switch from a system where a pregnant woman has a human right to self-preservation and instead in many states the life of the unborn child will be privileged over the pregnant woman which is rather far outside international norms.

I'm not aware of any other major country where abortion third-trimester abortions are legal, as is the case in the US today. Most countries set the gestational limit at ~12 weeks.
The "see how easy it can be" gave me impression you were not, but if you are being genuine, then I apologize.

If there is a position which is novel, where there is no known advocate (either individually or as a group) to represent it, then imagining why a theoretical person might take that view can be helpful. However, this is the age of the internet, where finding people who genuinely hold the most outlandish of positions is really quite simple. Why do I need to imagine or speak on behalf of another person to present their argument for them? If they are not an adequate representative, and are merely parroting ideas, then surely they will be able to point me in the direction to the source of those ideas.

There is a lot of discussion regarding appropriation thrown around these days. I find that it's often applied to situations where empathy is very possible, and there's nothing keeping many of us from understanding other's positions. But if instead of genuinely asking them to represent their own, and feeling that my attempts to speak for them are just as sufficient, or an even better means of expressing an idea, which I freely admit I disagree with... that's some arrogant shit right there.

If one is so egotistical that they believe only they can adequately present opposing views, instead of allowing people who actually hold those views to do so, then what chance do they leave themselves to grow and learn? And that is putting aside the card stacking tactics playing at steelmanning, which is perhaps even more common.

I am not a flat Earther. I think they're wrong about reality. I can explain why I think they're wrong, but I would not presume to know why someone might or ought to be one. There is no way for me to honestly do so. Pretending like I could would not help me to convince, learn from, or relate to anyone holding said position. Merely playing at being an advocate for an idea as a thought experiment is not a heuristic that bestows enlightenment. It gives one the false impression that they understand people and ideas which they do not.

> I really dislike the fan mob that it's starting the hate

I looked into responses to the announcement (on YouTube, Reddit, various forums), and didn't find any example of a "fan mob that it's starting the hate." Just about all of the top responses were extremely positive. I only found a small minority of comments saying they don't like the art style, and they're all pretty tame. For example, sorting by controversial on Reddit brings up this:

> I want to be excited but I'm not thrilled about that art and I haven't liked a Monkey Island thing since Curse of Monkey Island.

There can be a tendency to exaggerate any criticism in an effort to dismiss it. Ron is certainly free to make whatever game he likes. But at the same time, people are free to dislike whatever game he makes. It doesn't make them hateful or a mob, simply people with different opinions.

>"The people who want to work from home and are being forced to work in the office, by definition aren’t “content”."

I feel like being "content" involves a lot of other factors and trying to determine if someone is content means looking at other aspects of the job holistically. I've always detested yearly evaluations and the 'song and dance' one must do to write "corpo-speak" about their achievements and goals. Yet, that consistent displeasure has never outweighed the work life balance I've enjoyed so far. My concern is that in your framework I would be considered by definition, not content.

>"if the impetus for you leaving is to find remote work, how will changing to another job change your living situation?"

I don't see jobs as fungible. While you might be able to WFH the new company will have different benefits such as potentially worse health insurance, compensation that isn't as good, or fewer paid days off. You might end up working remotely for a company in another timezone and that might mean you cannot drop your child off at school anymore. That kind of thing.
I've always been interested in repair and have done a good bit of mending on my own clothes. I have a few black tee shirts from Target from about six or seven years ago that have just gotten a few small holes that I've repaired and you can't notice. Takes less than 5 minutes after a while from getting the thread out all the way to cutting it at the end.

For down jackets, you can get yourself a roll of repair tape for ~$5 that's as simple as cut and place. I used to work for a large outdoors retailer and we had access to damaged and returned goods at crazy discounts. I got a $200 down jacket for $2.50. Add the $5 roll of repair tape that I still have and we've got a great jacket that I've worn for about four years now.

It's kind of fun to do as well. Having sentimental value with the things you use is kind of nice, as long as you don't go overboard.
There's no forward or backward. It's a feedback loop.

Wait, that's all? On the entire Rust ecosystem those are the only ones found?

Everybody already knows Rust has unsafe blocks and C FFI. It is not invulnerable to those problems, Rust just makes it very clear where those problems may appear, and if you are smart, you will place most of your code outside of those regions.

Looks like Rust is much safer on practice than what I expected.
This is an option for a £250 jacket but not for a £50 jacket, so I guess the place to start is buying higher quality products that are worth repairing.

Doesn't reentrancy defeat the serial processing property that makes locks unnecessary? If a new message is accepted before the previous one has finished processing, then it can change the mutable state inside the actor. Essentially, you can never know what the state will be because at any blocking point some other message can make arbitrary changes. At that point the actor is just a crappy class with message passing instead of method calls and all the annoyances that entails.
I'm a bit late to the party, but just in case it's useful to anyone: I'm using one DB per user for my CV tool on withoutdistractions.com

Since every user has a separate DB file, writes to those files don't block reads from the global DB file which contains everyones public data. As long as you keep your user DB schema the same as the global DB schema, it's pretty easy to sync records using a simple cron job.

This is the most unpredictable element since their goals seem to shift with politics and have little to do with economics. They've allowed asset prices to get pumped up for a long time and it's still not clear whether they have the guts to actually increase rates to stop inflation (or if they even should...).

> markets

Everything is supply/demand. Asset prices are all about supply/demand for the ASSET itself, fundamentals don't matter in the short run.

> rates

Are more or less set by the Fed. Which is somewhat directed by politics.
So Vultr starts at $2.50 a month and Linode at $5 a month. $1 in 2000 dollars is $1.67 today, and most of those $1/month hosts were introductory offers anyway. I seem to remember the cheapest real hosting I got in the day was $30/year, and those hosts now charge £4/month and $7/month respectively, though to be fair they include a domain these days.
Doesn't that just say that they didn't find much info about the device or the company?
