What caused Russia to invade Georgia in 2008 then?
I’m glad you like it. Someone has to, I guess.

I can’t stand it and find all the promotion on it to be promising far more than it delivers. It’s heavier, slower, less comprehensive, and less comprehensible than either Vue, Svelte, or most Vanilla JS implementations of component-oriented sites that I’ve seen.

Every single thing about React bothers me, from hooks to JSX (which is so much worse than meaningful templates), and I’d rather use something that makes me happy.
I would guess they're simply clearing the stock
There was a really good writeup posted on HN a couple of weeks back, I need to locate the link. The gist was that there is a combination of factors for receiver and magazine that define the assault factors of the rifle, and anti-gun people always get pwned by being steered to minor and irrelevant differences between the military and civilian versions, and trying to define gun instead of platform. The author is a gun owner and enthusiast, but not a Wayne LaPierre.
Yeah, this is basically the stability/instability paradox.

> Everything only has probabilities.

But that does not mean that when there are two possible outcomes that these carry equal weight: the evidence for human influenced climate is so vast and so well researched that it would take an absolute miracle to displace it at this point.

> I am saying that scientific output should be verifiable by other people.

It is. Reproducibility and peer review are part and parcel of science and it is always done by other people than the ones involved in the original research.

But to you 'other people' may include people that have not studied the subject matter and that are not capable of following the arguments. Those people will end up having to pick a side, just like you have done, you are on the side of the 0.1% versus the 99.9%, likely because that decision works better for you in some way or other. But that does not make you a scientist any more than it makes me one. And I'll throw my lot in with the 99.9%, not because it makes my life any easier but simply because that makes good sense.
Same here, except the Chrome broke the v6 legacy plugin with an update, which makes it kinda useless. I ended up switching to Bitwarden just so I could auto-fill in Chrome again.
It all depends on who you are & your physiology, right?
I was super addicted to nicotine (I can say that nicotine is perhaps 500x more addictive than weed, and about 10,000x more addictive than coffee, and about 50x more addictive than alcohol - all of which I have been addicted to at varying times in my life).

I've known people that were fine smoking a cigarette every 3rd day. I'm not one and that would put me on a path of relapse in a hurry.

I'll agree that avoiding addiction takes discipline, but once addicted, it depends to what, and who you are whether you need to focus on recurring abstinence or if more moderation is the ticket.
> No One Cares That You Are Smart

When I was a young lawyer, I worked with a group of four attorneys, three of whom had PhDs in other fields. The most senior lawyer, who had no PhD, commented on the challenge of leading such a group: "each man thought he was the smartest guy in the room".

Humility is underrated!
Thanks - very helpful!!

Good points about you adding transformations on top of the Copilot output and less variation in code due to it's structured nature.

Interesting also that it responds to variable names and patterns in your writing/code. Does it also respond to comments?

Your answer points me more towards the not-infringing argument. Perhaps the best solution would be to have a companion plagiarism-checker tool that examined your code vs it's training set of GPL/MIT licensed code when you are nearly finished to flag significant copying. Shouldn't be too hard and would avoid the whole problem (and also maybe sometimes point you to a library you should be using instead of rolling your own).
>> I have to wonder if 10 years down the line, everyone will be able to run models like this on their own computers.

Do you mean train or run? My assumption was all these models could be run on most computers, probably with a simple docker container, as long as there is sufficient RAM to hold the network, which should be most laptops > 16gb ram.

Speaking of which, anyone have recommendations on pre-trained docker containers with weights included?
John Deere limits your options with regard to repair. It's not so much a monopoly as it is anticompetitive
Unfortunately, it's a fairly ambiguously-worded amendment. The authors aren't around to explain their rationale.
Both Vue and Svelte are both lighter-weight, faster, and have more features than base React while being less complex and more flexible than React.

IMO, Vue 3 has made a mistake buying into the whole hooks nonsense, and I find it less usable than Vue 2. On the other hand, Vue 3’s implementation is more comprehensible than React’s.

Whenever the word "upgrade" rears its head, beware.

The intent behind it is obsolescence and phasing out, resulting in an endless make-work treadmill for the users.

If there is ever a "problem with h1", and you neglect to upgrade your data right there and then, five to ten years, it will be unreadable.

Sorry to hear your story.. I am a UX designer myself having about 7 years of experience, let me know if you want to chat.

Per your question. Unfortunately I have never used any of this services, I have heard ppl using upwork but didn’t know it was that bad. I would recommend you try LinkedIn again. Instead of posting a job, just search for product/UX designers as a role. And from the results, reaching out to any person with experiences close to what u need. Even tho their experience don’t align you can still reach out. Cuz a designer would definitely know more other designers who can help you out. I would also recommend to check out dribbble, since u only needed UI, just check people’s visual work and contact them from there. It maybe more efficient. Hope that helps.
exactly, we need to decentralize power, and knowledge (information) is power. it seems innocuous when we each leak a little here and there, but surveillance tech is vacuuming up every tiny bit of it.

living in europe doesn't much matter, given the reach of these companies and their interweaving into government systems, along with reciprocal surveillance agreements (however-many-eyes countries).
I'm not sure if you've been paying attention to the current political situation in Mexico but AMLO has no problem strengthening ties to various countries that "threaten" US interests. And he's free to do so! Mexico is a sovereign country and is allowed to build diplomatic bridges to any nation it chooses. It would be completely inappropriate for the US try an annex Baja California or something in retaliation.

Just imagine if the international community took a firmer line on the US during GWOT - half a million lives could've been saved.

Edit: Was the US justified in fomenting death squads Latin America because those countries embraced socialism against the wishes of the United States? No? Then why is Russia entitled to a full-scale invasion over Ukraine's western aspirations?
Totally valid question that prompted a great answer. Thank you!

For some context, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act [1] mentioned above was made a law in 1975. This action by the FTC is basically calling HD and WH out on their noncompliance with this law, and more generally announcing their intention to enforce it more boadly. It's unfortunate that the FTC has allowed this lawbreaking behavior run rampant for decades, but I'm glad that they've gotten off their laurels and are finally moving on it now.

It's one thing to say developers have to add a new compiler front end for some drivers if they want to compile them; and, that some developers will just have to add it regardless.

It is wholly another to say that they need adopt a whole different code-generation regime. It adds risk, and adds to what they need to understand to know what they are building. A pro needs to understand where problems come from, and be equipped to dig down to them.

So, OK for hobbyists, but a burden for pros. It is the difference between "neat project, might succeed" and "mature". Rust stands a good chance of becoming mature in a few years, more than can be said about almost everything else.
I found bookmarking tools often lacking a more holistic integration into research workflows that are not just about saving things, but also taking notes.

We’ve developed Memex to solve for that. It’s an offline first extension for bookmarking and annotating websites, pdfs and youtube videos. Also you can collaboratively curate and discuss them, and it has a mobile app to save and annotate websites.
It’s availabe for Chrome/Brave and Firefox (memex.garden)

Sorry, I should have double checked, that sentence was incomplete. Yes, I meant to say that a more nuanced approach is crucial, and that means rejecting that we have to choose between Disney-backed extreme IP laws or total freedom.
There are already EU and NATO member states that border Russia and haven't been an issue for Russia. Russia/Putin in all likelihood really invaded because they believe Ukraine is ran by Nazis.
Courts interpret the intended and understood meaning of contracts and terms all the time. Research the term "meeting of the minds" and case law around it.

When the terms were written, it's exceedingly unlikely that they intended it or anyone understood it to be blanket permission to allow a trained AI to copy code for others and no user would have interpreted it that way. Microsoft/Github can't necessarily unilaterally increase the intended range without making it clear in the terms.

If it got to a court case, and both sides could afford it, it could be a lengthy one.

Yes, the title could be "author does not get SQL"...

The cumbersome SQL example also produces a much different report format than the simple ratio of the second query sketch. If we are charitable and assume a DBA could define what a "login" is just like the second query form assumes, we might have a view already and not need a clunky CTE to confuse things.

SELECT

(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT user_id) FROM logins w1 JOIN logins w2 ON (w1.user_id = w2.user_id AND (EXTRACT(WEEK, w2.timestamp) - EXTRACT(WEEK, w1.timestamp))::int = 1)

/

(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT user_id) FROM logins);

> The confiscation of your rights to your digital media depends on the fiction that you are licensing the music, not buying it. The fact that there's a giant "buy now" button on the interface notwithstanding, tech and entertainment companies maintain that you are engaged in a licensing deal, like an advertiser buying synch rights for a hamburger commercial.

This post makes everything seem needlessly complicated - you are buying a licence, there is no contradiction here.

How else would digital media / sale of MP3's work without licences? Is the author suggesting that everyone should legally be able to freely transfer/distribute their MP3's to anyone with no legal limit?

I don't see any alternative to licences mentioned anywhere in the post - just lots of handwaving about some sort of wave function collapse (where wave function collapse just means a contract that has different terms for a digital purchase instead of a physical purchase).
He's also ignoring that the operator of the platform is only interested in OpenBSD, whereas on Vultr OpenBSD's ability to run could disappear at a moments notice.
well, if you look at GDP, russias industry is about the same size as the one of Germany. Germany has a lot less workers (and gas ;)) for that amount of $ and they produce millions of cars. I guess Russia (which I don't know for any consumable industrial output) might be able to produce quite a few tanks (also look at numbers e.g. for BMP-3, which were all produced after 1990).

As far as I'm concerned, the clicker genre reached its zenith, its purest expression, in Universal Paperclips. In no other game has the "automate exponential growth" mechanic been used to tell a story more poignantly, or make philosophical points so eloquently. Other clicker games use flashy graphics and sound effects to disguise their essential emptiness; not Universal Paperclips. Its austere plaintext webpage offers only hints and fragments of the world the numbers are meant to represent, its minimalism a baleful commentary on the subject matter itself.

I played it twice, and do not regret it.

For private use: I rarely bookmark anything anymore. Lots of info is easy to find (e.g. Arch Linux Wiki) and reasonable reliable. Also my password manager has a list of all accounts with associated URLs, so I can search that.

For work I have a wider variety of information. I'm often doing Pentests, so I read up on related research a lot. Since I can't keep every minor detail in my head, I bookmark interesting things in the browser; that's then backed up, but that's about it.

As a typical tech hobby, I run a few home servers and recently got myself an "always on" machine. Now I'm looking at self hosted services my family and/or I could genuinely benefit from. Bookmark sync between my work laptops could be nice, but Yacy mentioned in the top comment is insanely attractive - indexing (+archiving?) beats bookmarking.
I paid for books (and beer) in college with a summer farm job. I did equipment maintenance and drove trucks. We ran John Deere 6602 combines from the mid 1970s. This was in the late 2000s.

They were an absolute dream to work on. Everything was straightforward and consistent. The assembly was well thought out to enable in the field repairs. In my mind at the time John Deere was a brand that understood the needs of farmers.

I can't reconcile their current position on right to repair with my experience. Something clearly changed between the 1970s and today.
Only at the point at which they themselves cannot repair it.

If one human can repair it, so can other humans.

I think your take on social relations is absurd.

Because actually, individuals as such do not exist, the only reality is there is just a bunch of living cells, interacting with each other.

The idea that cells only exist to serve the need of an individual is false and evil.

That's not applicable to Grox's example. The initial version uses only hexadecimal digits for the SHA256.

If you had: "each record begins with an 8 character record length, in hexadecimal, giving 32 bits", you have no problems. The new version has a 'V' character in byte 0, which is rejected as invalid by the old implementation.
And not tesla, seriously?

I'm far from normalizing it and I don't know why you think I'm normalizing it. The prosecution could have asked for a time in a penal colony, or time in prison. With the rubber-stamp courts they have in place, the prosecution would have got what it asked. Is this normal? No, far from it. I'm just pointing out that it could have ended much, much worse for Mark.

What has always been a blocker for me to follow your example, is the desire to use many such scripts from the command lines provided inside an $editor or $email client. There probably is a way to configure both of them to see the aliases, but it's more straightforward to just have everything in the PATH.
Ahem, technically there is one way (don't know if it is "good", though):

No, certainly not. It does seem wrong for one group to claim one thing, and then another group to claim a different thing, both of which serve their own financial ends and not the actual content creators.

Having said that, I was mostly talking about the difference between licensing and buying from a consumer's perspective. There are still a ton of restrictions which come with "owning" something, but those are just ignored by the author because those were laws passed by a legislature and not a license term by a private company.
It depends. We are an MSP and we generate the same "building block" network topologies for each of our clients. We are in process of adding auto diagramming, and it will work just fine because we have standardized cloud topology for each client. This allows us to take each security zone of their solution, manually lay out the base and then figure out how to layout optional attached components. Each diagram will look quite different when done, but you will be able to tell they all were done from the same template.

However, I agree auto diagraming some random topology doesn't work nearly as well, and worse if it is a complex one. They tend to look like a spaghetti mess.
That's a special case. The sheer volume of beer that it requires to give you alcohol poisoning is often larger than your stomach. If you're drinking a "lite" beer, you're drinking slightly piss-flavored water.

There are no volume issues with pot. You can smoke an enormous amount of weak pot or a tiny amount of strong pot, and it will take up exactly the same amount of space in your lungs: none, unless you forget to exhale.
> All things considered, it could be much worse.

> I'm just pointing out that it could have ended much, much worse for Mark.

This is how you're normalizing it. I don't know how you can't see that.
This makes sense, but it might be a mercy that progress on VR is slow, given that it's Facebook ("Meta") that is trying to push it.

It'll be best for all of us if technology slows, except perhaps for those innovations that reduce energy usage and GHG emissions, until corporate capitalism is overthrown (which may be 50 years or more away). It's actually a good thing, under our current economic system, that technological capabilities are so low compared to what they could be.

the question is the mental state developed. are you somebody who regrets everything and is never happy with what you have because you alwaya need more? or are you able to be grateful and enjoy calmly small things and accept how life is?
Rust definitely has its opinions and its chosen complexities. I'd point to the way global allocators are used by default (opinionated) and the way trait coherence rules work (opinionated and kind of complicated). That said, I think a lot of the complexity of Rust is actually fallout from a relatively small number of design choices:

- programs ought to be UB-free by default, and overriding those defaults should be rare

- mutation is allowed, including shared mutation across threads

- runtime assumptions similar to C and C++, i.e. no garbage collector, and a useful subset of the lanugage doesn't require heap allocation

Given those requirements (in short, a "safe systems programming language"), I think you very quickly find yourself needing 1) lifetimes, 2) the no-mutable-aliasing rule, and 3) move semantics. Those things contribute a lot of the "feel" of Rust, and probably the majority of the difficult learning curve. But I think it's interesting to consider that "the type system should deal with lifetimes" isn't really a baked-in opinion that Rust has, as much as it is the necessary complexity stemming from the other opinions above.
