So, a trademark is a 'legal' concept, and comes with certain rights and obligations. Eg you need to actively defend your trademark in order to keep it.

I was perhaps a bit fuzzy: I used the word trademark, but I meant the moral equivalent that only confers moral rights and obligations. Ie don't be a jerk and name your stuff in a confusing way, even if there's no legal obligation.

Even this fuzzier 'moral' trademark only applies, if the original owner wants it to apply. I have no special insight into the bzip2 situation. So I have no clue whether the authors of bzip or bzip2 cared. I gladly defer to your research on this question.

My point was meant purely abstract about the possibility of wanting your source to be free and open and fondled by others, but still have a (morally) protected name.
> and a bunch of other rules, and not get kicked out, or even sanctioned.

So you're saying you voted for Brexit because the EU didn't have enough power to punish member states? Do you think that these new entrants were the only ones breaking the rules with no consequences?[0]

> I don't want to be in a union of governments with authoritarian racists.

Leaving the EU doesn't help make Hungary (for example) become any less authoritarian or racist, and it certainly hasn't made Boris Johnson and the Tories any less authoritarian or racist, so you're still in such a union.

Entrenched interests are why things rarely advanced. Look at dentistry we are still drilling teeth like the greeks and making very little progress except on the most advanced procedures.

Dental advancement never gets anywhere because drilling teeth makes money and it sucks so people put it off until they NEED more expensive procedures and that works great.

Dentist that want to really make a difference and use the latest techniques really can't afford it because of the regulatory burden and huge costs associated with everything.

Yes these are certainly problems that should be addressed. School shootings are also a problem that should be addressed, but it would be hyperbolic to say you feared for your life going into school every day. Some of the language that is used surrounding those other issues creates unnecessary anxiety IMO.

But that's not really my main point, I'm certainly open to debate on the topic. I just don't agree with the character judgement of OP - we have no idea how his circle talks.

I've personally encountered two people that were clearly attention seeking or perhaps had an anxiety disorder with the way they talked about such issues. One example was a black female born into the upper middle class, working from home as a SWE in a gated community during the pandemic, saying quite literally that she actively feared for her life due to police violence.

To be clear, I do not think the existence of that extreme invalidates the legitimate underlying concerns at all. They've also been a minority of the voices in my experience. I'm just saying that language starts to lose its meaning if you encounter too many of these types, and I have seen with my own eyes that they exist.

The right response is probably not to outright dismiss a statement about fearing for one's life, but some amount of skepticism is normal if it's been a false alarm in the past. Especially on an internet forum with random strangers.

typo: casual -> causal ?
I've used MongoDB quite a bit and I don't like that it has the timestamp in the id. That's unnecessary information.

With UUIDs I prefer UUID4 to UUID1 most of the time.

I prefer to only include the relevant information and for API keys the client doesn't usually need the time the key was created.
Is it, though? I'd imagine throwing more partners into the mix only increases the pressure to generate big returns in the short run.

Do you have any examples?

while i concur this is a nice notion, it's a special type of rare investor who wants to do all the dilligence, take the risk, and not pursue a large reward.
I live in an area that has many traffic circles and Google Maps seems to actively avoid lights and prefer routes that use circles (which is completely fine with me and preferred after I got comfortable using circles). I think Google knows how much time people topically spend going through each intersection. But it may just be the eco-friendly option.

One think that really messed things up is that route option state is pretty hidden. My wife was ranting at how stupid Google Maps was because my daughter was using Apple Maps in the drivers seat and Apple Maps was doing sane things and Google Maps was doing dumb things. Apparently this had gone on for weeks. Turns out somehow she had "avoid highways" selected and didn't realize it.

The app really does seem to get worse and worse though. I think it's trying to push me to switch to using voice commands but I'm too dumb to remember the incantations yet.
> Because there is no extreme left in US politics.

No extreme economic left. Instead, the left concentrates on racial issues, which is how enforcing even existing immigration law has become taboo, whites have been a minority among births since 2016 [1], and the white supremacist president campaigned with a "platinum plan" for Blacks.

Except for the 2nd amendment and abortion opponents, the right has been an utter failure. A puppet for corporate interests pushing overseas invasions and tax cuts.

The only workaround I’ve found for this annoyance is to put my phone into airplane mode after selecting my navigation route. GPS and navigation still works after doing this.

This way it doesn’t update the route with a ‘timesaving’ route or to an expensive toll route. It’s crazy I have to do this and far from ideal as I would like it to update if there really is a major timesaving route, eg if an accident occurs, but I don’t trust Google Maps now to not update now with a screen only navigation alert.

What it should do is alert me to this change with an audible alert and wait for me to actively approve this route change.

Does not seem the exact same painting. Some of the serie are very similar.
Spending your time constantly fighting other members of your own company to protect your team is exhausting. Work-life balance usually has a much bigger factor than just "time spent working" and it's the result and morale that goes with it. If you are working overtime but you're getting results it's often very rewarding and doesn't lead to burnout.

He clearly was working on projects at google that were exhausting for his scope of mind, the specific hours were less relevant than the fact that he was spending 30-40 hours a week could be "wasted" hours, even if he's now doing 60 hours a week, they're all more gratifying.

The Monet room on the fifth floor of MOMA in New York, with its two enormous Water Lilies’ works on opposing walls, is a deeply beautiful space. You should go there.

Here’s what’s remarkable about Monet. Zoom in. Look closely. Regardless of how close or how far you gaze, you get a different painting, different scenes and subjects, and possible interpretations. It’s wild.

Follow OP’s link here, zoom in, and see for yourself.
I think because it’s used haphazardly and applications make messes that they never clean up.
Also, having both env vars, local config and registry creates sort of a smorgasbord-stuff gets thrown everywhere.

If all you were allowed for config was the registry,and application scopes were more tightly defined and enforced, it would probably be a lot nicer.

> taking small side roads to a left turn onto a busy road with poor visibility and no light rather than right turns to the main road and signaled lefts

My current theory is that this is an artifact of the eco-friendly route option. I think it avoids lights if there's otherwise no significant difference in predicted arrival. It can be extremely frustrating because it seems to dump me making a left turn onto busy roads when there's a light one block down. I know I end up spending more time trying to make that turn.

Oracle has user/all/dba_tab_comments and user/all/dba_col_comments.

I'd be careful with these: USB-A male to USB-C female adapters are illegal in the specification because they let you connect two power sources together, which can lead to explosions.
> If this was the actual interpretation being promulgated legally then there's all sorts of weird follow ups to it...

Not really. You can only go places like that if you use an interpretive framework were words can be stretched past the breaking point and speculations piled one on top of the other to take you anywhere where you want to go. A lot of people think that's not a reasonable way to interpret the law, and they do have a point.

> This is a perfectly sensible precedent...

If that's "perfectly sensible precedent," cite the case that established it.
I mean sure, but you're making the discussion about a different (albeit related) issue than I was trying to address.

For one thing, your comment states concrete concerns that could directly affect you, as opposed to the vague "fear for my life" sort of comments OP was referring to.

But more importantly, my question is not whether OP was correct, it is whether stating this opinion on an internet forum with little other context is somehow enough info to make a judgement about his empathy/morals.
I mean, the thing is it’s not really a “dock”. It’s just a tb4 controller in a box.

It certainly is an uncomfortable discussion, although that often means it's an important one. I suppose I'd question whether the ACLU (or whoever) should push for the rights of the baker or the couple, since they seem to be at odds. Generally I think people have a right to run their business how they want, but also that people have a right to be free from discrimination based on their sexuality/race/gender/etc. I also don't agree with the baker, but I think I'd be uncomfortable with the state forcing him to create specific art.

I do see a distinction between denying a particular commision and denying someone even the option to request a commision though. If he refused to make a cake that said 'Jesus loves gay marriage' I probably think that should be allowed. But refusing to make any custom cake at all for a gay couple seems much different.

I would encourage you to examine the evidence.

Heard’s claims weren’t critically examined in the UK — who took her statements at face value while discounting both physical evidence and testimony of others.

By contrast in Virginia, where Heard is the subject of forensic analysis, both forensic psychologists have stated that Heard abused Depp — while there has been zero evidence (except Heard’s wild claims) to support that Depp ever acted similarly.

There is only evidence that Heard abused Depp.

OK, you plug a power supply, two laptops, and three monitors into a USB-C hub. What happens?

Any kind of bus where peers can negotiate protocols is going to have severe usability issues. Just look at the MacBook that's plugged into itself: https://photos.app.goo.gl/G2PivEo1JrKKtA9W6

> My understanding is that there is no intrinsic meaning to "crf", and that it is just a rough way of controlling bitrate (in that it refers to internal variables in the specific implementation of the encoder), am I mistaken about this?

You are not mistaken. The difference is in how reliable the control is regardless of input video.

For libvpx, the CRF control is garbage. A CRF of 30 will be good for some scenes and horrible for scenes that are too dark or have too much motion. It means if you want to just use libvpx (or ffmpeg), you are often setting that CRF way lower than you need to so scenes where it fails don't end up looking like smooth color blobs. It's bad enough that they introduced a "minimum bitrate" flag.

x264 is not that experience. The amount of adjustment you have to do for CRF for a given input are extremely minor, I found between 20 and 24 to be more than acceptable. For vpx, you need to come up with a value anywhere from 10 to 50 depending on the source.

I get that a lot of this is subjective experience, but it's what I've experienced doing a bunch of dvd rips.

> What are up-to-date AV1 encoders still leaving on the table as far as optimization is concerned?

The biggest seems to be good quality controls that have been tuned by someone with a good subjective eye for that sort of thing. Beyond that, IDK, the bitstreams allow for a LOT more transformations than H.264 allowed for, yet the codecs don't seem to have the same level of complexity. For example, x264 came up with a bunch of motion vector search patterns over it's evolution. You don't see those sorts of developments with the other encoders.

Heck, you even saw that sort of care for quality output in the fact that x264 has tuning guides for (at the time) common objective measures of quality, SSIM and PSNR. (which returned worst quality than the x264 subjective quality metrics.

IDK, this may also be that I don't have as much time to geek out over video codecs :).

Do you mean Exodus 21:22-24? That's not what it says at all:

"When men strive together and hit a pregnant woman, so that her children come out, but there is no harm, the one who hit her shall surely be fined, as the woman’s husband shall impose on him, and he shall pay as the judges determine. But if there is harm, then you shall pay life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."

Not only is the fine specifically a punishment for inadvertently hitting the woman (in the case where the child is not harmed), but it says "life for life", proving that children in the womb are considered alive and their death is a capital offence, just like killing an adult.
