Definitely, but it also addressed something I'm trying to tease-out here.

For people who had never really used computers, and had not been online, the buzz about how the Information Superhighway was going to change everyone's life was enigmatic at best.

This led to all manner of fantasy, and a yearning to make the connection and discover what was going to happen - to be a part of it, to converge - with, or without, a good technical understanding. There's something of this irony in Zombocom.

There's a great 80's Neue Deuetsche Welle song by Paso Doble with which I am practically obsessed, which captures some of the very weird fantastical dream-con-fusion of human and machine, love and logic, flesh and silicon. For the non-tech artists, it was (is?) a rich place to play:

Did you read the article? It's not pirating and selling as yours, its reselling. Resellers exist for almost every kind of product or service. The original provider gets more sales, the reseller makes money from taking a cut, the customer gets the product/service. Manufacturers and service providers need distribution, resellers provide this. It's like paying a Chinese company to slap your own logo on a doodad and selling it on Amazon.
How would you revert “we had children”? Or “my partner turns out to be a pedophile and we agreed to 50/50 custody”? Things change in ways pre-nups cannot account for. They’re fairly often litigated as a result.
> The article's point is about other people's computers being used to serve their interests over yours

Partly, but this example was also used as well:

> Though perhaps unlikely, my hyper-awareness of the sinister ruthlessness of machines in the ordinary things around us led me immediately to note the pathological outcome: Someone stuck on a desert island (or equivalent) who starves to death, because the only food they have is expired Juicero juice bags and a machine which refuses to serve them. While in Juicero's case this might seem like a comical example, I fully believe it's only a matter of time until something like this happens. The deliberate utilisation of machine-assisted ruthlessness to malevolent ends becomes more and more common with every passing day, as companies realise they can escape from accountability by hiding behind the facelessness of the machine, which disempowers the individual to fight or object to it. The now memetic expression, “computer says no”, pithily expresses this phenomenon.

…which is precisely the usual free software issue. The Juicero is a computer you own, but that does not serve your interests.

The pre-nup getting outdated is a valid point.

What if we made it mandatory to renegotiate the pre-nup every year or so?

I suppose that could cause problems of its own, but it would 'fix' the outdate pre-nup problem (which would in turn fix the general divorce law trying to address very specific cases problem).
I’ve found that these sorts of annotations are a lot better in the US than in other industrialized countries. In foreign countries, points of interest in Google Maps are often missing basic info like opening hours or even telephone numbers. Often times the actual location is misplaced on the map.

When it comes specifically to restaurant menus in the US, most seem to be manually transcribed by the restaurant staff. The items and prices are correct (but often out of date), and food descriptions faithfully reproduce non-native spelling/grammar mistakes. In addition, I almost always see user-uploaded photos of the menus.

This does not point to a difference in Google’s automatic parsers or in the level of Google-generated content; it seems that US users contribute to map and PoI content a lot more.

I wonder why this is. My guess is that there are far fewer staff members at Google curating crowdsourced content outside of the US, which makes non-American users much less likely to contribute, since their contributions will appear much more slowly, if at all. I’ve contributed my own corrections to PoI data in the US (e.g. opening hours updates) and seen it reflected on the map in a few days. This probably wouldn’t happen elsewhere in the world.

I was lucky enough to have dinner with Stirling Moss once, winner of the 1955 Mille Miglia and many other races. He spoke of this ability to slow down time, and how it was “automatic” and didn’t require conscious effort. He said that after his 1962 crash and brain injury… he could still drive fast but it was no-longer automatic. Instead it required tremendous concentration. He said he knew then that he must quit racing or would very likely kill himself with a momentary lapse.

Edited for typo.
I disagree. "Self made" doesn't mean that you had no society around you and you did everything in silo. Self Made means that you didn't have a lot to start with but with your hard work, persistence and determination (little bit of luck), you made it for yourself. Of course, you will have people and support structures around you. Let me give you an example. Lot of people have support structure and what not but they still don't make it to "self made" because they lack the other qualities such as grit, determination, hard work etc.

So yea, people can totally be self made and don't get too hung up literally on the word "self".

Not an expert, but Qemu [a] emulates 486 systems and I think might boot a disk image taken using DD [b].

The dilemmas are:

1) Dare I disturb this hardware, particularly if it hasn’t been power-cycled for years? (calculated risk - but you need some kind of plan for when the inevitable failure happens if jobs are at stake)

2) Am I confident to attach the disk to a unix box and take an image? (Find and ask a unix guru - but it’s fairly straightforward)

This is a good point, thanks for making it.

I thought of "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash as a counterexample since in that song the victim is a man, but then thought of "Cocaine Blues" by Cash which has a female victim. "Cocaine Blues" is mainly about drug use with the man killing his cheating wife treated as a minor detail.

I thought Cash wrote the song and so it wouldn't count as a murder ballad if we say murder ballads have to be folk songs, however it turns out Cash just did a famous cover of the song written by T. J. "Red" Arnall and recorded by Arnall probably in 1947 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine_Blues, which was in turn based on an American folk song "Little Sadie" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Sadie. So "Cocaine Blues" is a murder ballad in the classic sense, as well as an example of centering the man as you say.
Under very specific circumstances:

>The radiative properties of an atom in a cavity differ fundamentally from the atom's radiative properties in free space. Spontaneous emission is inhibited if the cavity has characteristic dimensions which are small compared to the radiation wavelength, and enhanced if the cavity is resonant. The cavity causes slight shifts in the energies of the atom, analogous to radiative shifts. [0]

I wouldn't classify it under radioactive decay as in "nuclear change" (here: Potassium-40 as beta minus decay and EC, respectively) as it is a well understood photon-matter-interaction phenomenona (cQED) in e.g. manipulating single photons (single atoms in cavity) deterministically [1] which can be used in turn - coincidentally - in generating true random numbers ...

My PHP-controlled home cinema uses the Insteon Hub locally, so it kept working after the abrupt shutdown. I was worried about having to move to a new home automation system as parts died (I'm on my second Hub in seven years). Overall, it's been a really reliable system with decent dimmers and plugs so this is good news to me.

I've thought about open sourcing it but I'd ideally like to do it in a way where it can't be monetized by a third-party. That's a post for another day.

There is no shared myth, and hence little to no shared values or goals, dissolving social cohesion and failing institutions. The phrase "burn it all down" is often thrown about.

Likewise there is a profound disconnect between such societies and nature, even by those who claim to want to "save the planet".

Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell and many others have gone into depth on this.

I think (not sure though) that's because of them using an outdated version of electron. So things just working should get better as app devs upgrade their dependencies.

How many lunches did you have at work in France ?

I would say I had a few thousands, so let me speak from experiences

- You can eat how you want, rest assured you have the choice to eat at your desk if you wish to do so. Again, the lunch police is not gonna burst at your office because of that.

- the breakdown of amenities is already settle legally ( the more employee, the more amenities. Threshold at 10, 50 and 100 employees.)

As a French elector, I like that law being in place.

Software engineers know that it's creating new software that is expensive, not copying it. Why not give copies away for free when you satisfied the need that led to the software being written? Even microsoft now understands that it makes more sense to write software to better sell services than to try to sell software directly.
People also have been saying a recession is nigh for 10 years with it being the wrong bet. Until suddenly it wasn't.
> Except I can still use discontinued open source software like Atom.

The same thing can be said about desktop proprietary software, so long as it does not rely on a cloud service to function.

> Try installing an older version of an app on an old iPhone. The app store won't let you. You might be able to jailbreak the phone and track down an older version of the app, but it's a pain and Apple makes it as difficult as they can for you instead of just letting you download the version you want from their store.

iOS is an extreme situation, but we are talking about desktop apps here, desktop OSes don't have these kinds of restrictions.

That said, open source have this edge that if it's just too obsolete for the dependencies, you can hope someone would patch it if it's popular enough. It would be harder to patch a proprietary app. That may not matter as much in the context of Electron apps as the web platform is pretty stable. Not sure about the Java thing Jetbrains IDEs are running on though.
Hm. Stuxnet feels less like a normal software project, and more like a NASA mission.

Something like a botnet can run updates and patches, and you have a much easier time to iterate, optimize and also to fail in less than catastrophic ways. Sure, you lose some nodes, but you infect some nodes, so be it.

Something like Stuxnet is more like the mars rover. You eventually fire it off, and then it has to work correctly autonomously. Once the boosters are going, you cannot fix it anymore. Once Stuxnet is in that facility, there are no more patches. It has to work. And if it's discovered, you've probably blown your only chance.

In such a setup, simplicity and options with known and explored failure modes are good.
In the UK, pre-nups are not always enforceable - especially if the terms are not favourable to any children involved.

There are also many other scenarios in which a pre-nup or its terms can be invalidated during divorce proceedings.

It's going to be difficult to come up with an agreement that covers all scenarios and is enforceable.
It still got a job done. Embarrassing that people found out by the Israeli side screwed up. But this is how cyber attacks will be... They make some impact. Then everyone learns the tech used.

Photoshop has not withstood the test of time for me. I did a lot of Photoshop a few decades ago. I can't afford > $1000 per year for a hobby. My old Photoshop files are dead, for all intents and purposes.

I do occasionally use decades-old, unmaintained open-source tools to open old files.

> Audacity's 3.0 update removed a feature I relied on. I wasn't forced to update to it, sure, but proprietary software doesn't force updates either.

Yes, it does. Cloud-based, you have no choice. Installed, increasingly, you have no choice either, since activation servers get taken down.

> Being able to fix your own bugs is a great part of open source! But not something most professional software developers really expect to do for their IDE.

It's a check-and-balance. I fix issues maybe in 0.0001% of the tools I use, but when I do, it's really important. With proprietary, you can work 70 hours per week for five years, and invest your blood and soul into a project, and be left hanging at the end, because you're reliant on someone else.

With open-source, you bite the bullet, fix it yourself, and keep chugging along.

> you'll never have a guarantee that a tool you invest time in or money in will be the leading tool in five years.

My experience is that "leading tool" is way oversold. The difference between JQuery a decade ago and React today is important, but even a huge difference like that won't make-or-break a business or a project. Technology is easy. If I needed to write my stuff in FORTRAN, I'd be less productive, but in the end, I'd learn FORTRAN and get the job done.

It's not a reason I'd pick proprietary over open-source.

What is important is all the other stuff. If you've bought something from Oracle or Google -- who are famous for this -- and they discontinue your product or ramp up licensing costings 100x once you've built your infrastructure around them, that CAN and WILL break a business (or a personal project).

Startups have a short half-life. Big businesses have a longer one ("No one got fired for buying IBM"). Open-source is eternal.

Legacy is important. If you don't believe me, have a look at all the FORTRAN and COBOL code still running on old mainframes. If you don't take long-term into account, you're unlikely to do anything lasting.
First I have ever encountered the term used in this context. Have always understood it to be near-sightedness, but that may just be cultural.
I haven’t checked in a couple years, but this mirrors my experience very closely.

I pay for good editors just to support the creators. I want to pay for the one I use daily. The reality is that vscode is the most extensible, performant on average (not in all ways), and useful IDE I have.
And how much a computer that could have done the computation all by itself would have cost (by putting enough storage in a single chassis without needing a SAN).
Oh. This is embarrassing! I totally disregarded the remarks section when reading through all the different system calls. This example is actually quite helpful and would have saved me from hours of research. Lesson learned, i guess.
> but this is why phones maybe shouldn't ship with a working OS anyways and make the user supply it instead

Do you believe this is something most people would want as a product experience, or something most people would be capable of doing?
You could read that as "Stuxnet set Iran back approximately 10 years".
Exactly. Nothing wrong with going for a bunch of low hanging fruit in an attack. If the simple stuff doesn’t work you need to do obfuscation and have good OPSEC

I was born socialist country and since state owned everything, they would keep a factory afloat just so it keeps people employed even if it operates on losses. That is not sustainable. Sooner or later it had to collapse. We don't have classic peasants anymore because society recognized that keeping them in business we had to compromise too much in other areas of society. At some point the mentioned delivery guy and girl with bakery will be in the same situation and this is just prolonging the inevitable.
So for one, if you ignore the political connotations and ignore the author's seeingly strong identity, the argument is absurd. That's going to attract some ridicule here, regardless of what they guidelines say.

I had a collegue until recently (he was let go), who was a staunch VSCode fan that refused to use Jetbrains IDEs. His code is terrible and riddled with bugs. Most of them were even easily detected by the Jetbrains IDEs. Now I have to clean up his shitty projects.
He also spend a lot of time configuring his shitty VSCode instead of working.
It sounds like fantastic practice for those of us who want to learn something new (marketing, selling) without letting ourselves get distracted with the comfortable, safe stuff we already know (engineering).
