For both cases, again that's exactly what GPL is for.

First, you can start contributing all new code under GPLv3 while keeping a copy of the Apache-2.0 license in the repo and a notice that inform users that large part of the codebase was contributed under Apache-2.

According to https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 redistribution paragraph and https://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html

Secondly, you can also ask the few major contributors if they accept switching to GPL. Those who contributed tiny changes e.g. 1-line bugfixes in the past do not have enough contribution material to have a legally standing copyright claim.
It’s an accessibility thing. I don’t like the discomfort of shining what is effectively a torch into my eyes as I read. Maybe there’s no research but it’s essentially a preference.
Wind of change: did the CIA write the cold war's biggest anthem? (2020)
It’s not the same. Try stimulating it out if my argument above didn’t convince you. WLOG if you pick door 0 out of 0,1,2 and host picks door 1 always, then the the relevant value is in numpy:

correct = numpy.random.choice(3, 10000)

(correct[correct != 1] == 0).mean()

This gives 0.49 or similar when I run it.
Are there any good examples of single player -> MMO that were successful?

I loved Fallout and Elder Scrolls but absolutely hated ES:O and FO:76. I loved those games for having my own little world that was my own. Lack of multiplayer was a feature itself, not something I wanted to be implemented.

As with most MMO's I feel like I wanted to play an MMO I'd just mainline WoW, not some crappy imitation reusing IP.
I think it would help a lot if it were the norm for DEs to come with a bunch of prefab configurations right out of the box, which the community could then add to. It'd be cool if configs could be exported and shared too.

That would give many distros much less of a reason to exist, and could instead be configuration profiles for GNOME, KDE, etc that could easily be loaded on -any- distro. It would also allow the configurations to be iterated on independent of distros which would eventually lead to much higher levels of polish.
it's not a tax. It's the requirements for getting free stuff for doing nothing.
I don't see how this approach stops a centralized service from taking over via the standard approach of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish [1]:

- Embrace: BigTech implements the protocol. For example, say text messaging.

- Extend: BigTech implements some custom additions to the protocol, that only work for their service. For example, add support for sending photos, but only ones stored on BigTech's servers.

- Extinguish: Once people get hooked on your custom features, make it hard for competitors to replicate. For example, stop competitors from being able to load photos from BigTech's servers.

You could try plugging it into your Mac and opening Finder/iTunes to update iOS (if there are any updates available.) It may also help if you were to post which model iPad it is and any actual troubleshooting you've done (check the date/time?) Anything stuck on 9.3.5 is 10+ years old, I wouldn't expect much to work anymore.

I mean yes Apple wants to sell more devices, but you neglected a quickly-evolving technology and fell behind far enough that you can't use it anymore. This happens to all Apple devices, it's not unique to the iPad. I can't boot up my iPod Touch running iOS 4 and buy music or download apps either.
yes, that would be it. I thought of stunnel. But that's extra moving parts.
AKA Polystyrene in ROW
Clojure in Common Lisp came up a couple of days ago: https://github.com/ruricolist/cloture

Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31655574

It should be straightforward to run it in Scheme, which extends Lisp from what I understand, although I only used Scheme in college. I'm not even entirely sure why Schema and Lisp are separate languages, although I've seen some Lisp examples that seemed a bit too low-level to be of practical use. I find that level of attention generally useless when macros and inlined functions provide leverage for free. Although I'm generally against domain-specific languages, so I would like to know if Scheme is a DSL of Lisp or if either can be implemented completely in the other via macros (or both).

I'm trying to get to higher-level functional languages likes F#, Haskell and Clojure/ClojureScript. Although once functional languages allow impurity via mutable variables, they effectively throw the baby out with the bathwater since that forces large swaths of the codepath to fall back to being imperative. ClojureScript especially has a nice functional-imperative bridge where the code just blocks on input/output and lets the Javascript runtime run, rather than getting too lost in monads (from what I can tell, I haven't actually written any ClojureScript yet). I feel that this was the fundamental insight that's been missed in pretty much every other language, the lack of which led to the function coloring mess of async/await that we'll spend the next few decades stripping from legacy code.
Ah, I'd really like to know what goes into trying to obtain a four letter domain like that.

The fragmentation peeves me as well. The Linux community is like herding cats with fragile egos. One disagreement and a dev will go try and make their own thing, further diluting the Linux ecosystem.

There are way too many distros that are half baked trash that make it into bad listicles returned in search results.

The Linux community sabotages itself.
That’s a fascinating idea. Get companies to accept some form of standardized testing and have it be transferable. That would greatly increase the motivation behind its studies I would presume.

I use a feed with no binaries groups, which is how I like it. Most groups aren't exactly overrun with spam, they're just not very active.

So if the host can reveal a prized door your odds are 1/3 prize, 1/3 goat, 1/3 redo. So each door has a 50% chance of having the prize after Monty reveals a goat door. Basically the game is just reduced to having 2 doors instead of your choice vs. all other doors.

Reluctant to say "throw hardware at it", but I got one of the new M1 MBPs, my first Mac ever, and I can throw multi-cam 4K30 2/3 cams around with no optimized media, and it basically always runs without dropped frames, just using the H264/265 media generated by the cameras. I got the 2TB storage, because on my previous laptop I always was eating up so much space with optimized media, but it's way overkill now that I don't need that. But I didn't know that going into it.

Depends on the PoS design. Some have a limited number of stakers, or give stakers voting rights in an on-chain governance system. Neither is true of Ethereum's proof-of-stake, but it's not quite in full production yet.

As for the rich getting richer, that's no different from mining. Stakers have much lower ongoing costs, but the rewards are lower too so their percentage annual return isn't necessarily better. And everyone gets the same return so there's no economy of scale, which is not true of mining (or, for that matter, savings accounts).

Edit: I just opened the project up because I was curious about the RAM and vRAM. When it's idle it took 1.5GB of RAM and 1GB of vRAM. Scrolling through the project very quickly pushed the RAM up to 4.5GB and vRAM up to 2GB.

Wallet recovery is similar to reversing transactions: you can have it if you're willing to nominate some third party that you trust to manage it for you.
But the green movement was ultimately correct. They didn't know why and had nonsense arguments, but the fact is that "old nuclear" was developed with insufficient long-term safety. Fukushima showed that.

What also seems true is that you can't trust a company to run them properly, no matter the regulations and audits. TEPCO showed that. From people I know who've dealt with the nuclear industry, there is a strong contempt of regulation in sentiment/culture, likely due to the annoyances and perceived costs.

This contempt however breeds a long term apathy towards safety and maintenance. It's human nature.

There are reactor designs that are inherently meltdown proof (LFTR) and use almost all their nuclear fuel (LFTR) and can, I believe, breed old nuclear waste into usable fuel (LFTR). They scale down to small closet sizes (LFTR) and so can be more economically flexible. I believe pebble bed and others can do similar things. LFTR allegedly can be designed to be proliferation resistant, although I've seen opposing views from much better educated people.

But the LFTR goals should be the standard of the nuclear industry for next-gen. Not these massive solid rod huge dome boondoggle-prone eyesores.
It’s marginally better than the macOS stock calendar app, but pretty similar. Amongst people I know, windows users who have been used to google’s web calendar are the ones who have gotten most excited about it because having a dedicated calendar app has its advantages.

I find it less useful than the macOS calendar.app because it doesn’t let me view my iCloud calendar which I use for personal events or birthdays from the iCloud contact database.

So does it do anything better now?

I have a relatively new Roomba (one with the camera), and I hate it. Sure it can be more efficient than the old models without a camera, it insists on building an map of the house, which takes forever, constantly needs restarted because it literally can't find rooms, or just fails to update the maps, requiring you to start all over again. It doesn't even have those IR walls, that the old ones had.

IF there was a better mapping system, that would be helpful.

After like 10 years of trying these things, I've decided they're mostly a gimmick, but damn it, I want them to work.
> Do not open your web browser unless you have a specific search query in mind.

I'd counter this one. I've too often caught myself watching something, talking to friends or reading a books and being captured by the need to just quickly google that thing triggered by what I am doing at the moment. Most of the time you don't really need to know that information, your curiosity gets the better of you. Instead, maybe just make a quick note and stay in touch with that you're doing instead. Otherwise your life just becomes an endless list of interruptions prompted by needing to know that "one thing".
Wouldn't proof of stake be much more promising?

1) Start off with a trusted group of people (stakeholders)

2) Set up an invite-only system

3) Inviting someone means sharing some stake (i.e. some reputation) with them

4) To post you need some minimum amount of stake

5) With every post that's not downvoted into oblivion you increase your stake until you reach a certain equilibrium point. (So there's a limit and it's not about gaining status points.)

6) Posts that are downvoted into oblivion will cause their authors to lose some stake.

The technology might make a good cost/benefit trade-off, if we fixed the regulatory framework but not otherwise. Or it might already make a good trade-off in the current regulatory environment. I don't see the technology and the regulatory framework as being tightly-coupled here, though they do obviously affect each other. My point is that we need to look at both of these factors, rather than considering the regulatory framework as a given that is set in stone, definitely correct, and something we can't change.

In this case it may be easier to change the regulatory environment than to come up with new dramatically-cheaper nuclear technology that complies with the restrictions of the current regulations (though that is happening too with modular reactors).

I would push back on the idea that there’s no right crafting policy to kneecap the city’s ability to function as a city. I don’t think they have to, because a lot of the techniques they might use to do so have already been fully absorbed by even the left leaning politicians in this country. For example, a lot of cities sub-contract all kinds of things they could be doing directly with city employees in the name of efficiency. However, in doing so, they often end up creating additional management layers that end up slowing down the work, all in the service of a marginally lower cost. This is neoliberal thinking, and it is pervasive across just about every level of government across the United States.

Well, the other option (the most sane one, in fact) would be to not mess with it until you understand it and can reason about it - but in every corporate "how long is that going to take"/"what can we do to speed this up"/"why aren't you finished yet" quick-and-dirty-ocracy, that's not an option unless you can do that in about a day.

If the door the host chooses is random, and the door you choose first is random, then it's 50/50, because there's only two doors left and neither door choice was made with any information of what's behind the door.

Your chances improve from 1/3 to 1/2 when the host opens the empty door, but whether you stay on the first door or not doesn't matter.

> European construction seems a lot better

Unless the situation in the US is really, really REALLY horrible, I doubt that. I don't remember where, but one country is in the process of building a nuclear power plant, that is AFAIK unfinished, but already took way more time and money than originally planned.

Doesn't even have to be nuclear - ask the Internet about Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie or Stuttgart's train station. Having public construction projects overrun their schedules and budgets is a well-honored tradition, at least in Germany, but I suspect our neighbors have similar customs.
A while ago when I used Linux I found that installing some alternate desktop environment usually messed up some default even if you switched back. I don't remember exactly but it'd be like, you start on GNOME, install KDE, switch back to GNOME but now your file explorer is Dolphin.
