> Basically, the “are we the baddies ?” answer would be “yes” for a huge chunk of us, and I don’t think that’s how we see it personally. Companies have to make money, but the evil label needs way more nuance.

The answer to this is that if it's nearly impossible to find a more ethical job (e.g. a non-profit medical research worker cooperative) when the system you're under doesn't economically incentivise ethical job creation. If your probability of finding one is incredibly slim, you're practically excused – you're just doing what's needed to have a normal life.

Painless Monorepo Dependency Management with Bit
I mean, if you have hundreds of engineers, that might be sound advice; if you have 20, you’ll probably be fine.
True. But Avid are largely terrible at implementing new technologies in a timely manner, especially since they started off-shoring development as more and more of the old timers went to recreate Pro Tools as Luna for Universal Audio! I mean, although a Windows version of Pro Tools is available, the core of their professional user base is on the Mac, and they haven't even managed to get an Apple Silicon-native version out the door yet -- over two years since Apple provided DTKs for that purpose. (Meanwhile, Logic Pro, Cubase, Studio One, Live, Bitwig, and others have all managed it.)
Safari and Brave have been doing it already. Notice Mozilla's wording: "MAJOR browser available on Windows, Mac and Linux" to exclude the competition that got storage partitioning shipped before Mozilla did.
Batteries are the most expensive storage. A negligible fraction of utility storage will be batteries unless some new battery chemistry is very, very cheap.

Almost all current utility storage is gravity. That probably won't change.

This is a fun judgement to read. I wasn’t aware of the backstory, but Ulysses was banned in the US after an excerpt was published, and this judgement is the result of Random House intentionally violating the ban by importing a single copy to force a court to decide on it.

> Although Customs had been told in advance of the anticipated arrival of the book, it was not confiscated on arrival, and instead was forwarded to Random House in New York City. As seizure by Customs was essential to the plan for a test case, Morris Ernst, the attorney for Random House, took the unopened package to Customs, demanded that it be seized, and it was.

Keeping Time with the Cosmos
I'm always reluctant to assume a particular selective pressure for every biological trait[1], but for a species that puts up a large feather train and does an elaborate dance with it to attract a mate, my prior would be really really low on that just being a coincidence. In the case of the 2008 study the parent poster linked, they got null results but it appears based on more recent research they just weren't investigating the relevant parameters, which was improved later on the field with a better understanding of peahen vision and the biomechanics of the feather shaking dance.

The problem is not humour, and I didn't say that anywhere, but rather the sarcastic pedantry at the expense of other people who might not be native speakers. Again, humour is not a problem, but your post is also not funny.

I explained it to you in my message. You're clearly having trouble understanding other people on this website, since OP's post is not about his complaints, like you insist, but rather his account. So I'd suggest maybe quit the mockery since you're not looking too smart yourself.

Illegal can definitely mean different things in the context of images: illegal to possess (child pornography), illegal to copy (some documents) or illegal to be an advertisement (drugs).

EDIT: I don't give a damn about "LinkedIn moderators" or "drug advertisement" and nowhere did I indicate I care enough to have a discussion about this. I literally couldn't care less about this subject or what you think about it.

Windows isn't open. But you could argue there are open alternatives to Windows.
Of course, you shouldn't start a project from 10 repos. But the downside is while you live in a single repo all the tooling get tuned to work with a single repo. And then there is no way to go multi-repo when you need to.

So advice would be: start small but think big :)
No, that's not really fair.

There's a broad range of techniques which have significant learning gains beyond passive learning. Active recall is one of them. We have no clear sense of how they compare to each other or how they work in combination. There is ample evidence for active recall, but there is equally ample evidence for a dozen other techniques much like it. We don't have great studies comparing them side-by-side.

The best hypothesis for how they compare is ICAP, referenced. It's still a hypothesis. You can look at the evidence behind it.

Much of this is context-dependent too. Active recall is great for factoids. If you're trying to learn a date in history, memorize a word in a foreign language, or a formula in math, your best bet is a spaced repetition system (how you time active recall makes a big difference too; spaced repetition > simple active recall > passive recall).

If you're trying to understand a concept like force (in physics), what an integral means (in math), make sense of the tradition away from serfdom, or compare ethical systems between two cultures, active recall is almost irrelevant. At that point, the best methods are probably constructive and interactive learning.

Pylance (and the open source less featured version, pyright) is architected after the Typescript language server. Which makes sense as they're both languages with unsound type systems, optional type annotations, and use type inference. By being written in TS it also runs in a web browser which is their Next Big Thing.

There isn't an Existing One, more like many existing ones with their own tradeoffs. Jedi is designed to infer the variable in your currently editing LOC. It can't type check and report issues on entire files/projects. It's also a one man project.

Actually it would be good if the default would be that you can request language based on domain name and tld. Actually i normally would want German as default for all .de sites and would chose English for the rest.

But here I see no added privacy in a normal setting if I do not use vpn, because 90% of IP addresses from Germany would report the same two languages. So only e.g. if I travel e.g. to Japan it makes me quite fingerprintable.

So I think the ideal would be if some entropy score could be displayed/predicted based on context (e.g. source or target address as above) and I could dynamically chose the trade-off between a bit of privacy and convenience.

The funny thing is that e.g. if you are in a country with a nonenglish speaking majority that has English as second language, just reporting either language assigns you to a smaller subgroup and makes no sense.

Is it possibly both? ;). I mean, a good education in frugality at the same time as being traumatic? And as an adult you have both strengths and weaknesses as result of this? You have excellent frugal habits that help you live happily on less, but also may be risk averse to the detriment of your career, and lacking in confidence at times. That's certainly my wife's experience.

I think you either don't know many people or you're subconsciously focussing on the negative examples. We also all know that one guy who isn't successful but defeats himself by setting ridiculous standards. Just walk around town one day and look at the couples. You'll see most of the men really aren't anything to look at.

It's amazing how your mindset can make the world look completely different. That mindset also makes you completely unattractive to women. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. The information is out there to help, if you want it. The short version is to socialise more and think less.
It's pretty common for e.g. hosting providers that don't take spam seriously to just forward complaints to their spamming customer. Exactly the opposite of what they should do, and you've seen the result, but some companies just don't care.
Bypassing the whole set of issues that "having a development environment remotely" introduced (isn't that just "testing" environment at that point by the way?), dotfiles are inherently personal configuration files, otherwise it's just application configuration, so not dotfiles anymore. Nothing wrong with sharing dotfiles, I do that plenty myself, both sharing and using parts from others, but it's on my own accord and system-wide, not project specific.

Project-specific configuration is just that, project-specific configuration, and you would not call it dotfiles anymore.

FreeCAD deserves a lot more recognition. It is literally the only serious open source contender to commercial CAD softwares. There has been a lot of recent positive developments including Realthunder’s continuous effort to solve topological naming problem. I use FreeCAD as my daily CAD software to design some fairly complex assemblies and it has become a joy to use. Hope we can get more developers and companies behind it and witness the same revolution that happened with Blender.
My opinion is, that apparently you like shady drug advertisement and you like to fight anyone who fights it. Have fun with that.
Figma postmortem: Service disruptions on June 6 and 7 2022
Yes. 'Breaks' is quite judgmental. It would be like saying "Gloves break fingerprinting for more anonymity"

We could replace 'breaks' with 'fixes', and we'd have the same kind of problem, but with the opposite bias: "Brave fixes language reporting in browser for more anonymity"
> Retiring code with architectural changes is fine, it's normal, it happens everywhere. I don't have a problem with it. Only the replacement should be comparable in licence. Which this one isn't.

Not sure how you could perform the whole "extinguish" step without replacing any OSS/free/copyleft license with a closed-source version of it. "Extinguish" with OSS components would just be "embrace" or "extend", both of which Microsoft has already completed, so time to move on to the next step.
Am I wrong here that all the emphasis on fingerprint protection is largely moot when not using a proxy? The entire design of IP networking means you’re fingerprintable by IP, doubly so on IPv6?

I hadn’t heard of this either, but incredibly it turns out to be true: https://engineering.linkedin.com/mobile/linkedin-intro-doing...
The actual API differences between Helios and seL4 are somewhat subtle, rather than a broader difference of design philosophy. For instance, the layout of the bootinfo structure is different - PML4/PDPT/PD/PT objects are stored in separate capability regions so that userspace can more reliably distinguish them without architecture-aware heuristics. Little things like that. And of course, the implementation is wildly different from seL4.

To be clear, I am specific about the "seL4" inspiration rather than the "L4". Naturally L4 plays a role, but Helios's API design has a pretty obvious influence from seL4 specifically.

Um, no?

Someone who leaves now will not likely get another job in crypto anytime soon, since the market is so bearish, there is a surplus of workers, and almost no-one is hiring.

In addition, many employers will pass over the employee who left their last workplace because of politics, no matter how it is framed.

As long as someone is fairly confident in their current job, to leave it for four months pay seems to me silly. (then again, I have a wife and kids, so I don't quite have the yo bro wing-it attitude)

I have a friend who is considered top talent in programming crypto. His salary is envious. His confidence in employment is low - he said there is no guarantees in crypto that any job will last another week, or what will replace it.
Building Interoperable Web Components That Work
"Empires — fun historical fact: The Roman Empire was not run out of offices. They ran the world, yet there was no office. There was no office building. The Roman aristocrats worked out of their homes, and then they went to the Senate, and then [laughs] they went to their country house. There was no office building for administering the Roman Empire."

Is this "fact" correct?

Edit: It turns out utterly not. The Basilicas, for instance, were office buildings for public administration.

Why make up something like this?

I haven’t expressed any opinion about drug advertisements at all, in any way. It’s a bit of a bummer that my poking fun at a (from my perspective as an adult) misguided naive spammer is seen as the same thing as supporting crime.

Serious question: Is everybody that would consider this individual, for example, a “fucking idiot that got predictably banned” also a supporter of crime?

(You can just respond “yes”)
Obviously it's so simplistic it's dangerous. Try to reason the same way about humans, "the only responsibility is to pass on our genes and therefore there can be no altruism". Right? Wrong.
Some like to call it a PR exercise.

Others enjoy that there is some effort in place to have RPC comunnication between kernel modules instead of direct function calls, a hard push for third party drivers only to exist in userspace and a standard ABI for extensions.

I rather see the progress side, even if partial, than hold to legacy designs.

See I could also call a PR exercise to safe languages that depend on using unsafe everywhere on their lower layers, maybe they aren't safe after all.

And yet we know that isn't the case.

I am convinced that 99.999% of the people that claim to be "anti-Capitalist" are in reality anti-Corporativist.

It's way too easy for people working at big companies to think "the company might be evil, but not me / my team". The Corporation gives everyone a moral shield that lets them rationalize all the shit that happens, but the money that pays their salary and the stock options they get all come from the same source.
Bitcoin is anonymous in the sense that you don't necessarily need to link your wallet to your real name, it's just not the best choice for privacy since transaction details are public. Besides, mixing services exist.
Except for weird Docker edge cases (extremely rare, but does happen).

I disagree, and there is a huge philosophical gulf of understanding between my view and those who feel differently.

No, we can't. Bitcoin *is* anonymous against average Joe which is what the OP needs here.

Pretty irrelevant here but for your fucking information, with significant expert effort, Bitcoin *can* be also anonymous against big actors.

> Who would use a programming language that wasn't open?

The vast majority of iOS developers. Swift 1.0 wasn’t open source, and IIRC when it was announced there wasn’t even a promise that it would be open source. I think Chris Lattner did signal they were willing to seriously consider it some time in the future; that was all.

There is a lot of money to be made in iOS, so people will use whatever Apple forces them to use, whether it’s open source or not. If some would leave money on the table on ideological grounds, all the better for everyone else.
Thanks. I'm still kinda new to this upvote thing ;-)

Nobody ever talks about rate increases in terms of their ratio to the previous rate (ie. talking about a 75-100% rate increase), this would be insanely confusing and irrelevant. To avoid confusion, people always discuss the absolute additive change in the base rate itself. ie., 75bp or 0.75%, which are equivalent.

If you'll allow a shameless plug: I'm about to publish a python package to help doing just that, by combining photogrammetric projects.

The workflow is take a couple hundred overlapping pictures, compute a model using an existing backend and store the image/3d data. Rinse and repeat. When you have a few neighbouring projects, we recompute submodels at the boundary and merge the involved 3d models by reprojection.

Currently wrangling some issues around packaging, a BSD licensed functional prototype should be out sometime next week.
