Trade secrets like Coke's secret formula aren't protected by copyright, patent, or trademark, they're protected by keeping them secret, and by NDAs with employees who have to know them. So your dystopia has always been the reality. Every single example of intellectual property that you could come up that gets its worth from its privacy has never been protected.

So just to be clear, are you arguing for an massive expansion of intellectual property rights to all secrets?
I create monthly mixtapes of leftfield house, techno and disco, and spend an insane amount of time digging through recent digital releases and then mixing/uploading to YouTube (now working on adding visuals with Disco Diffusion). What blows my mind about this whole process is there is so much new music published daily…

In an upcoming mixtape the intro track has been on YouTube for 3 weeks and has received only 3 plays. I want this project to unearth such classic electronic tracks and get them out to a wider audience. I can’t see myself ever stopping this project or ever regretting the time spent.

We use Microsoft Azure Dev Ops Boards. It's okay for the engineers but pretty crap outside of that at a project/business level. So much so that we revert back to Trello almost as a layer above dev ops but that duplicates the information we store about sprints/cards etc. Not ideal

Would love to hear from anybody who has found a way to make Microsoft dev ops sing at a project management level!

This is the Central Limit Theorem at work. Your random variables are independent and identically distributed so you're always going to approximate a normal distribution.

Wealth in real life is not independent. People with more wealth have more investment opportunities and thus more ability to grow, tending to a power law. You can see the same phenomenon with craters on the moon.
Pre-remote, I worked well with a deaf colleague by pair-programming across a corner of a desk so we were facing both each other and the screen.

We also changed standups to mean that only the person holding the Bluetooth mic connected to his cochlear implant could speak: that had the added benefit of stopping standups from falling into solution-finding exercises.
I'd rather have good and close relationships with political/military/trade partners than to be sovereign to be honest.

Anyway these regulations only apply if you want to deal with a US-based company. If you want to deal with a US company, you have to abide by their rules. I don't believe that's excessive.
I've noticed that I'll massively overeat if I don't get enough protein, salt and nutrients. So I'll chug something isotonic and eat a bunch of protein mixed with a food-replacement powder after running and weightlifting. I end up not being hungry the rest of the day.
I do. I had a number of great printers before they adopted the DRM to enforce their razor+blades model.

1. HP Deskwriter. Built-in localtalk networking, connected to two Macs over phonenet. Bulletproof, paper handling was great.

2. HP Laserjet 4N. Built-in Ethernet print server, fast, bulletproof. Worked with 3rd party toner just fine. It was priced to pay HP enough for the printer even if you never bought toner.

3. HP Deskjet 6000-series. 6210? Worked great, beautiful color, obsoleted by USB replacing parallel ports.

4. Lexmark laser, bought used, worked with 3rd party toner, fast, networked, postscript. Was the workhorse for a political campaign.

Since about 2007 I haven't been happy with a printer. The toner is very expensive and the products are poorly made and not easily repaired.

Epson Workforce Pro: needs to print every week or its jets dry out.

HP OfficeJet X page at once, a great idea, but the jets jam if you don't use enough color, and the paper path breaks.

Brother printers: always yelling at me for some reason, and they wear out.

Lexmark color laser: great physical printer but the controller board hangs. Too unreliable for business. Toner is expensive.

Before the Deskwriter I had printers I was less happy with. An Epson dot matrix, I mean, nobody liked their dot matrix printers, and an Apple Stylewriter that was finicky, not crisp, and didn't hold much ink.
Container Queries and Subgrid are only available in Safari Technology Preview, not stable, and Firefox has actually been supporting Subgrid for more than 2 years. Because CQ is not supported by either Chrome of Firefox, it will be at least 2 years before we can start actually using it.

It would have been much wiser for Safari to catch up on the dozens of features they don't support that both Chrome and Firefox do, or to focus on bug fixes for the most basic features that's been broken for years. Instead, they chose to ship shiny new ones to try and convince both regulators (from the EU, UK, US, etc) and web developers that they are leading the way in feature adoption. Unfortunately this seems to be working to some extent in the web devs community. Regulators are unlikely to fall for it though.

Here is the 7 years old scrolling bug I'm referring to, which prevents any decent implementation of modals in Safari on iOS: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop-2022/issues/84

Here you can see that Safari has 5 times more API failures (representative of both missing features and bugs) than Chrome, and 3 times more than Firefox: https://wpt.fyi/

You are right, it's worse because the problem is more hidden and therefore a lot harder to solve.

At least in the IE days everyone _knew_ IE was a problem, so we were looking for a solution as a community. Now? We comments that are dismissive of crap instead of inspiring towards quality.
> Why would you consider "luck handed me money" a personal success?

Meeting a need isn't a stochastic process anymore than having a need to be fulfilled is one. I assume you have an actual boss with actual needs and not a probabilistic representation of one. While this model assumes a random distribution as a driving force for wealth, that isn't representative of reality, where individual motivation and personal utility are much more significant factors.

It isn't luck that hands one money ,but dedicating one's efforts to discovery, invention, or labor in exchange for a resource or product that one finds more useful. In this scenario one has earned wealth by dint of his efforts and abilities, not by mere lottery. Yes, I do deserve my income. I earned it by trading my labor for money. I have the right to trade my money something that I find more worthwhile.

> You're falling straight into "if I have it,"....

I would change the statement to "I earned it, I have the right to have it, and therefore I deserve it more than you". This is essentially what it means to own property. Your original formulation makes no distinction between burglars and creators.

For example: It's likely that you're typing to me from a computer or phone that you currently have in your possession? Would you say this computer belongs to you or are you simply its steward? Is it wrong for someone to own a computer or must one share it with the world?

> Also, money classes have working classes in lifelong slavery.

Where does one draw the line at "moneyed"? Who in this country is "enslaved" when cashiers have more money and benefits than lawyers or doctors from half the countries of the world? Most people here can buy more computing power than the vast majority of humans every born on the planet. The only way for your premise to make sense is to assume that earning a salary is slavery in an of itself.

> Rogan’s presence is also turning Austin into a podcasting hub, with hosts like Tim Ferriss, Lex Fridman, Aubrey Marcus, Sam Parr, Chris Williamson, Ryan Holiday, and Andrew Huberman.

Tim and Ryan were here long before Joe.

Regardless, I've been in Austin for 31 years and if it weren't for split custody with my kids I would have bounced out the second my divorce happened. It's hot, it lacks culture, the food, as has been mentioned, is mediocre, and the political climate is precarious and only getting worse.

If you're considering it, do yourself a favor and don't.

Who told you "Crypto" was supposed to be anonymous and that every cryptocurrency has the same properties? BTC != XMR and at best BTC is pseudo-anonymous.

2. Exchange it for XMR.
3. ...
4. Profit!

I've seen a clip on the Internet where printer rolls a customer satisfaction survey during printing on a little screen panel locking its features away.

I'm afraid that once my Samsung laser printer will be broken beyond any repair I won't have any other choice than to get the one of the newest anti-customer devices that will maneuver me into "supplies as a service" scenario.
> if WebKit weren't mandated, Chromium would take over

Why do they need to refute it? Nobody can see the future and whether that statement is true or not still does not change the fact that Apple should not be mandating WebKit.

Chromium is open source anyway. What does it mean for an open source project to "take over"? Who wins there? I suppose in this instance that Google wins but so do users. The only loser is Apple because it puts a hole in their prison ecosystem.
IE was "solid" as long as you only worked inside it's constraints.
Same for me. I think I was introduced to Brother printers in 2006, and bought my first then. That HL-2140 is still kicking, although it doesn't do much nowadays (a digital office, as it turns out, needs paper hard copies quite infrequently!)

A MFC I bought a couple years later is still going strong.
This article is from 2019, but it was my recent experiences with autocorrect which led me to finding this. My phone will occasionally have a few days of complete autocorrect meltdown (words completely out of context, random capitalisation, Spanish?) before normal service resumes.
Certainly there are some team aspects to take into account, but I've worked on several projects as the sole developer with multiple (3-5+) non-technical stakeholders, and Trello has been the best for that setup. Commenting is intuitive, even folks who've never used Trello before understand the columns/swimlanes reasonably well, and it's usually pretty easy to get them to attach documents, provide feedback, etc. all within an individual card.
That's a very good point. And it is also the very reason we wanted to build smth like this. The question we asked ourselves: why are people leaving PaaS platforms like Heroku?

The answer seems to be that people are starting with simple tools (beanstalk, heroku, GAE etc) but then quickly approaching their limits in terms of both features and cost - and move to "native" AWS / GCP / Azure. At this point they need to rebuild the infra from scratch, write all the IaC, etc. This is painful, slow and expensive. So it's either simplicity or extensibility, pick one.

We thought that someone must find a better way, it could just as well be us. The idea is to generate IaC in the background on top of a "real" cloud provider like AWS, making it seem to the user just as if they were using a PaaS. Until they want more - and at this point instead of moving to a different platform they can just extend TF however they like. No big one-off DevOps effort needed. Chances are that it can be done by the same person who built the backend, even if they never worked with AWS or Terraform before. Much smoother learning curve.

Also, many tech scaleups end up building "in-house herokus", often backed by Terraform. This was one of the motivations of us as founders, they had to do this more than once.
Sometimes (definitely not always) you can use std::function instead for dynamic polymorphism.

Apple Launches 2022 Back to School Offer: Up to $150 Gift Card with Mac or iPad
Illinois had to instate a moratorium because of their track record of convicting innocence people to death. A conservative estimate is 50 innocent people have been executed in the US in modern times, and over 200 on death row are also innocent. Also, consider the harsh sentences of mandatory minimums for petty drug crimes where there's now an elderly warehousing problem where harmless people lost their lives but are too frail to care for themselves. Furthermore, America has the highest incarceration rate in the world overrepresented by mostly brown and poor people. Rich white people use drugs at similar rates but don't go to jail for it.
Unlike the other guy I agree with you, on both your sentences. But none of this contradicts what I said.

Not using an exchange does mean it's harder to enforce, especially at scale, but "not getting caught" is not the same as "not committing a crime". And I have no sympathy for all the people e.g. trading crypto and then getting all surprised when they owe capital gains tax. They thought it was "just math" and that "math is law".

Turns out math isn't law.

I've been using GitHub Issues (and their new Projects feature) more and more. It's far from perfect, but I really value the colocation of code + task management it allows. I like being able to reference issues/PRs by # in markdown comments - it feels more natural to leave "breadcrumbs" this way so that others can follow the chain of events when trying to piece something together.

One thing we've done internally, for all tasks that aren't tied to a repo (because GitHub issues must belong to a repo), we created an "internal" repo that's a catchall for tasks not necessarily tied to a codebase.

The Projects view then let's us plan work across multiple codebases and this "non-codebase" repo
The summary is pretty good. I used to live there.

The problem is Austin is becoming very hostile cost of living wise to regular people (read: non 200k+ tech workers). That in turn has an effect on lifeguards and EMS.

Finally the city is good, but the city is extremely overhyped. It's very similar to Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas but for some reason gets 5x the praise. Let's be honest why: it has the most progressives and also satisfies tech workers desires to appear diverse but mostly be around other white yuppies.
I think it boils down to companies finding legal ways of artificially lowering the baseline price signal that they send into highly price-sensitive markets. Similar phenomena in this sense include phone/DSL/cable plans that don't include various fees in the advertised price, the "sticker price" of a new car, smart TVs not mentioning that they're going to show you ads, and so on.
If creating a linkedin account means you will be publicly posting everything about your life then making a github account must also mean you will be publicly posting everything about your life. Two social media sites, just different names.
Interesting ... I came here to highlight the quote from the affected city:

> The company explained that the employee had drinks after work and later fell asleep on the street, but when he woke up he realized that he had lost the bag containing the USB.

My premise was going to be that perhaps this isn't the company you'd trust with the residents' subsidies but clearly I misunderstand the cultural aspect to this story. The other thing I didn't get is that the employee who "lost" the bag filed a police report for theft. If you're passed-out-drunk, how would you even know it was a theft?

I lived in Texas for nearly 20 years, most of that time in Austin, and by all measures the politics has gotten more evil, not less.

My “vote could make a difference” while stripping myself and more importantly my wife of rights we get to enjoy in every other state we’ve lived in. And while there are a dozen other unrelated reasons you couldn’t pay us enough to live in Austin again, it’s nobody’s duty to live their lives as an oppressed martyr to be a fraction of a number for your cause.
Almost four years ago someone raised the issue of multiple mattermost servers in the mobile applications (https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-11067).

So I don’t personally have many use cases for RDF-type data, but I plan on implementing RDF data endpoints in a music library app I’m building.

I suppose RDF thrives in the academic space, whereas userspace suffers from a chicken and egg type problem. There aren’t many common services available that have public RDF endpoints, so few applications using them get built.

Edit: I suppose that’s what LinkedDatHub provides then, a way for researchers to build API-transformers into their graph, so they can then use it with SPARQL.

Main factor should be to ask him, to better understand how he "works around". "Best case comparaison" for video conferencing is IRL meetings. Does he feel "comfortable" with IRL meetings assuming proper lightning and face orientation? If not, then it's likely there is no fancy video conferencing that'll be ok, and just forget about video conferencing.

Assuming he reads lips, better video overall: Give all co-workers better cameras and lighting, check that Microsoft Teams doesn't compress stupidly (if it does, maybe try other systems...), have your coworkers frame the camera properly on their face. Better mics if he can hear a tiny bit.
