> Shades of "you can vote for whoever you want to represent you, so long as they're a Communist who will govern according to the will of the party."

I don't follow. Removing people from the pool of eligible candidates because they want this nation to be a theocracy is not quite the same. We don't keep murder criminalized because God said so (although that was undoubtedly the reason murder laws were first codified in human history), we keep it criminalized because we understand that murder removes the agency of another person to remain alive.

> I think you have a serious misunderstanding of the establishment clause.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

If the only justifiable reason for a policy is religious, then it is on the face of it prohibiting the free exercise of religion (as the result of that policy should be a personal decision consistent with each individual's religious belief or lack thereof).

The Court is likely to revisit several precedents derived from Roe v Wade. Many of these precedents will likely be sexual or marriage related in nature. Griswold v Connecticut (the right to buy and use contraceptives), Lawrence v Texas (the right to be private in consensual sexual activity between adults), Obergefell v Hodges (the right of same-sex couples to marry) have been explicitly mentioned by Justice Thomas as decisions that should be revisited. This means that in the future, there will likely be a case related to each of those that ends up making its way to the Court.

Taken broadly, this decision basically guts the right to privacy. I expect this to get really bad and cast a much wider net than anyone expects, before it's over with.
TL;DR

"According to the study […] there are two types of creativity that can blossom at different points in a person’s life. [1] Conceptual innovators tend to do their best work in their mid-twenties while [2] experimental innovators peak in their fifties, the researchers contend."

"[…] radical thinkers who come up with something new usually do so before they are steeped in the conventions of their field. Meanwhile, experimenters take decades of trial and error and accumulated knowledge to make unusual connections, going beyond the conventions of their domain."
One thing: do it a lot. Set a time every day and practice. Some prompts to get you started:

1. Write a white paper on the application of a piece of OSS that you like.

2. Write a usage description for one of your one-off projects/scripts.

3. Write a technical paper about an algorithm you used in a specific instance.

4. Explain the solutions to classic interview problems (eg binary tree reversal) in written form.

5. At work, write up brief pitches for new product improvements you have.

In all cases, consider the audience and what needs to come across to accomplish your goal.
Diets are not a "little discomfort in the short term" and treating them in such a way is a slippery slope to things that neither you nor i would be happy to observe. To adopt a particular diet means to be reliant on a specific set of foods, which is not feasable. Diets are also geographical and are shaped by the conditions that those who follow the diet have to live in. It's not as easy as "just don't eat meat".

COVID vaccines never affected other people because they don't reduce transmission, and even if they did, the point of a vaccine is individual protection. If you think it works then it didn't matter what other people choose. And this holds true for many vaccines.

Yet, again, odd silence from the pro-choice crowd. Clearly they don't believe in choice nor bodily autonomy.

Abortion on the other hand does always affect other people, if you believe the fetus is a person.

But most importantly, yes you do have to be consistent. If you can't be consistent because you feel it requires adopting extreme positions then you need to rethink your moral code, because clearly, you may find that your position isn't as morally clear as you thought.
There are quite a few iPads that meet this exact set of requirements.
> It's really hard to find fiction books, that are less than 500 pages.

For SF & F this seems to be a deliberate choice, from what I understand. This is from an iterview with Ted Chiang:

TC: I think the reaction varies, because science fiction is a more commercial genre. There are a lot more people in science fiction whose goal is to make a living from writing fiction by publishing one or more novels a year. And people who enter science fiction generally receive more messaging about fiction writing as a sole source of income than, say, people entering mainstream fiction. The messaging there is different: get an MFA, teach; it’s understood that your teaching position supports your career as a writer. For writers entering science fiction, that’s not really a thing yet. We’re maybe getting there, but the messaging they receive is mostly: Be very prolific.

>> As [Stephen King] got more and more famous, he started being able to bully his editors, to the point where his work is barely edited at all.

Yeah, I kinda noticed that too. I picked up a book of his and couldn't finish it because it felt like every episode in the story was written so that it took maybe ten, maybe fifty more pages than it really needed to. Extreme padding.

I think Liu Cixin also went through something similar. The Dark Forest was lean and mean. The next two books were progressively fatter and more verbose and full of aimless meandering. Though maybe that was an attempt to complete a trilogy to capitalise on the first book, if I'm more cynical.
This is much clearer cut in UK law AIUI as without Fair Use we don't have the rights to train an AI. The model is fed works, you can't feed it copyright works without permission, good luck training it to make facsimile works that weren't already generic (bear in mind the Red Bus Case, however).

What I wonder here is if you train a model with no Disney works, then tell it "draw a black mouse with red shorts" and it draws a close facsimile of Mickey RTM then what? You created the work without copying and provably so; you can derive from that work without infringement ... that would seem to break copyright in rather wonderful way?!?
Not sure if it's what you mean but graduating from a good uni seems to make a difference to people. I went to Cambridge and people always treat you a bit different when you say. Though it's more having gone than what you studied. Even if you are too late for undergrad you can always potentially do a masters at some high ranking place.
IIRC, it used to be --cached, and only recently has --staged been added as an alias, because staged makes more sense for users.
I am in a lab that does similar research on resistance to cancer therapeutics but using different computational modeling methods. This is really interesting stuff, as kinetics as a method of resistance has been something that we know is important from a biological perspective but hasn't yet been incorporated much in resistance modeling.
For testers I found that ISTQB is really valuable. The lack of graduate programs for this field + the fact that's not easy to get make it even more important.
I've been in tech startups for 20 years and have never seen this pattern or heard of it. What is even one example?

MBAs notoriously do not fix things. They usually run them into the ground.

Sometimes VCs will replace founders with experienced execs to try to control costs before a sale, but I haven't seen examples of this where they fix the product or find the market fit. They usually just fire people and try to get the financials to look better.
I've been using Linux professionally for a decade, on many machines (desktop/laptop), and the compatibility is really hardware-dependent. It's "for tinkerers" on some hardware, and "fully mainstream" on other.

Choosing a Microsoft laptop to use Linux is asking for trouble :) I had two of them, and Microsoft had this awful idea of the connected standby, which caused standby/suspend problems (power-hungry standby, which is a very serious problem on a laptop). At least the older machines should now have a good upstream support, in other words, everything working out of the box, with the exception of touch (Linux is just not there).

Regarding other brands, it depends. I remember IBM/Lenovo (Thinkpads) as always just working out of the box. Dell used to be also very compatible, but paradoxically, the Dell XPS developer edition is marketing garbage (it's not very compatible as they claim).

I've installed Linux on a couple of budget computers and they worked fine. I suspect that low-end laptops tend to be much more compatible, since they use more common/cheap components.

Bluetooth has started to be compatible just in the last couple of years - bluez is poor software (and Ubuntu has been sloppy in handling it), but it finally reached a usable level.

I don't remember having to do any tweak on desktop machine, except the time where I had a very modern Ryzen that was supported by very recent kernels only.

I wouldn’t say that MySQL is a better database but upgrades with it are very easy: you backup and then you upgrade the packages and the new packages run the upgrade command.
Back in 1998 or 2000 (I don't remember the exact year), I did RHCE and IT networking certificate. It landed my first corporate gig as I was the only person who knew Linux. In addition, I was the first hire who started replacing traditional Unix servers with RHEL. So, yes, it did help me despite not having a college degree. I am very thankful to Linux and FLOSS for paying all my bills over the years.
Honestly I do not do certs to help my career.

I find product / vendor based certification helps me round out my knowledge of a product better than just execution of a given task I need done at the time. This has helped me understand more of the capabilities of the what I wanted to learn

IMO this is more were the value of certs come in.

So for example I would not get a AWS Cert to get a Job in Cloud Administration, I would start training learning the cert to understand AWS, the cert is then just the final step of the learning process, the reward if you will.

Do I need to cert to learn it, no and sometimes I do not actually sit for the test.

I think people that just brain dump to pass the exam do themselves a disservice, that said the short answer to your question, I can not think of any cert that by virtue of just having it has advanced my career, I can say the process of getting certs which resulted in my expanded knowledge and experience has
I look around at every. single. internet community on the planet and I struggle to find a single one that isn't full of assholes. Including the very space I am on right now.

And yet - when I step outside and go talk to people and hang out with my friends they suddenly recede into the shadows. Sure, here and there somebody will be an asshole but for the most part everyone is nice, helpful, and (especially in my friends group), welcoming.

This includes people I disagree with politically. I think we should able to turn the internet off for everyone for arbitrary amounts of time. Don't really know how to reconcile this for those who need it like the disabled, medical, etc...

My point is, I fundamentally disagree with this article.
Up until a few years ago AI systems were not sophisticated enough to have an impact. Papers only recently started having an ethics section, and even now it's mostly low effort, just write something and get over it.
Sometimes these issues can be fixed by adjusting process priorities. Try giving Pulseaudio a higher priority.
Wouldn't comment counts incentivize controversy-inducing content instead?
> Ethically it is not very different from myself reading books, blogs and other available source codes, and then writing my own program based on whatever I learned.

I don't think that's the same. It's more similar to copying and adapting snippets of code, in which case I would have to check the licence.

Also, it's not an ethical, but a legal consideration. It's not particularly ethical that the Mouse keeps on having its copyright extended but it is legal.
Theorizing a bit more, the pitch-circle variation of the gears doesn't matter at all because it's inside the control loop.
Sure, but many of us are aware that rodent tests have flaws even when they share processes with humans: You know, things like drugs for x condition (present in both rodents and humans) is processed different in the bodies. It is prudent to remember that rodent studies are simply preliminary and often unavoidable if you want to eventually test on humans.

Hence, the request to add "in mice" to a title.
Fair or not, if someone has flooded their email signature with certs, my expectations lower.

It is a design problem endemic to database engines and probably file systems. A design requirement for most of the dynamic runtime data structures is that they can be directly paged to storage, either in whole or in part, and be paged from storage in an arbitrarily distant future on different machines with different compilers. In order to make this work, all data types used in pageable data structures must 1) have a size and alignment that is not compiler-dependent so that page types always have a size that is a strict multiple of the I/O page size and 2) not contain any pointers. This precludes vtables.

This has traditionally been managed with CRTP, tagged unions, etc with some scaffolding to make it convenient and compliant with strict aliasing rules. Ideally, almost all of the dynamic polymorphism is pulled up to the level of the page types, an opaque blob of I/O friendly complex data structure, minimizing the amount you have to do. It is also important to note that JIT-ing has replaced many of the use cases for dynamic dispatch e.g. adding user-defined schemas at runtime.

None of which may apply to your use case. Some things inherently require an unfortunate amount of dynamic dispatch.

The core values would be the entire benefit to the form of communication. The massive decline in classic forums has been a net negative for the Internet. The 2000s forum culture was a lot different from the current state of things, and better in many ways. You didn't have the level of de facto censorship that you see now with the massive centralized communication platforms.
> What about the overwhelming majority of women that don’t use such apps?

About 20% of women in the US use one, and this is a number that is increasing.

It's already not great that most brokered the data, sold it to advertisers, etc. But, now with restrictive policies towards abortion forming in many states, this information has become legally dangerous to many of these women.
Oh wow, my cert is actually on there.
Untrue. I'm no expert, but I have never had a problem setting up LineageOS on a Samsung - works like a charm, and I love it.
Just curious, how are you going to get CPA? Don't you need work experience as well as exams for that?
I assume you're referring to the theory that legalizing abortion led to a drop in crime in ~18 years later. To be clear, this theory has merit but it's hard to definiteily say this was a significant factor. Another competing theory is lead in gasoline, for example.

But let's assume it's the case. I don't htink we'll see a noticeable spike of crime in the future because of this, for several reasons:

1. Contraception is more readily available, particularly in terms of affordability, than it was 50+ years ago. I mean the Court may well make that illegal too but we'll burn that bridge when we get to it;

2. Medical advancements, specifically various abortion pills, some of which are incredibly effective and safe. These didn't exist before Roe v. Wade. States may well try to ban their distribution but this is clearly interstate commerce, which is explicitly stated in the Constitution as a Federal power, so even this Court will have trouble coming up with a post-hoc rationalization to ban it (I hope);

3. The Federal government can (currently at least and of course subject to review) codify access to abortion at a Federal level. The Freedom of Choice Act was something Obama campaigned on that he would sign on his first day in office yet immediately decided it wasn't a priority after taking office. He had a supermajority in the Senate then and wasted it. The Democrats have had many opportunities to override a filibuster. We shouldn't forget that. The current Senate could do this by simply eliminating the filibuster if they chose to. I guarantee you the first Republican Senate will do this immediately when it serves their needs;

4. The Federal government has the nuclear option available of being able to provide access to abortions if they so chose. Where? On Federal land (including military bases). Hell, you may even be able to do this on Native lands.

The concern here isn't just overturning Roe and Casey. Obviously that's dire but the real issue is what this portends. The impact of this Evangelical Taliban court didn't end on Friday. It's only just beginning.
> Well this is a problem with society then, yes? Does your suffering give you the right to kill another being (Since we still have not determined when life begins you have to admit this is a possibility.)

I think you have this backwards. Since we haven't defined when life begins and we know the person carrying the fetus is alive we must choose the rights and well-being of the living over the unknown. Otherwise we open ourselves up to allowing legislators to assert that this or that cell might be alive and therefore requires equal protection under the law.
> It's really hard to find fiction books, that are less than 500 pages.

Allow me to introduce you to the myriad Maigret novels by George Simenon. :) They are my favorite filler books when I want something good at only 150-200 pages.
>But isn't filing a false DMCA takedown in and of itself illegal, beyond any civil damages caused?

According to this site[0]:
"...if someone files a fraudulent DMCA takedown notice, they can be sued for the damages caused, along with the costs and attorneys’ fees that were incurred in pursuing those damages. In many cases, the costs of attorneys’ fees can far outweigh the actual damages."

Apparently, there is standing for civil action against someone filing a fake DMCA claim, but no criminal penalties.

But YMMV. The above was just the first relevant link in a search for 'criminal fake dmca claims'.

It dominated the world thanks to Linus cult (their hero can do no wrong), and being required for Linux contributions.

I bet git produced by a no name Linus, in isolation not required by any major project, would have hardly been taken any major uptake.

I have maybe 2-3 quite old certs. I don’t really seek out certification, and I wouldn’t want to work for a company that requires them. Interview me and feel free to hand out a coding assignment and call my refs – if you still don’t believe in my competence, just don’t hire me.
Could be - I never really did the career thing.
Same with the resumes. It's ok to have a section and list a few certificates, but quite regularly I see people put logos of some certificate programs on top of the resume, next to their name. It doesn't make a good impression.
Yeah. This. I don’t hire people based off AWS certs, but I encourage my people to get them for the learning. I’d say the general AWS knowledge I’ve gotten from even the most basic AWS certs have legitimately helped my career because now I know how the services fit together.
Doesn't this entail going 9.4-10, 10-11, 11-12, 12-13 and 13-14? (and possibly across various 9.x versions)

That would be enough to qualify as "super painful" for me
The original meaning for "staking" is that, for PoS networks, you put some coins, say ETH, to run a network validator, who secure the network by producing valid blocks, and in return you get a profit in that same coin (the network prints coins at a fixed rate per year, say 10% ETH, to attract validators). The coins are needed to prevent sybil attacks (i.e. preventing someone to running infinite validators and attack the network). So if you own 1% coin you can only run 1% validator and won't be able to flood the network.

However running a validator is hard, requires custom servers and hardware, so people simply delegate them to another validator, who does the validation on their behalf and distributes the reward to its delegators. In essense, you earn 10% ETH simply by voting a validator. Note that this IS safe and in most cases, people do get their coins and profits back and it's very secure. You can't lose money in the sense that you won't lose ETH. There are ill-minded people to steal people's funds, but that's not the general case.

Since most people only cared about the profit part, the term "staking" has since changed meaning to become anything that requires you to put coins in and get coins back. Staking UST is one case: you lend UST to the protocol and withdraw UST at any time, and the protocol prints you UST at 20% APR. There are lending protocols, airdrops requiring you to stake something, providing liquidity to collect fees, etc. And for simplicity they all become "staking".

Note that while staking is secure, it doesn't change the argument about how ETH is just junk bonds. If they offer 3% return per year, it's essentially printed money and the currency's value would decline 3% per year as well. If they lock you in for a longer period (ETH staking locks you in indefinitely until The Merge goes live for half a year), you are kept from selling your ETH and these coins are already worthless once they are unlocked. Buying ETH for staking is essentially providing liquidity for people selling ETH so they can make a quick profit.
How do you keep up with CPE requirements across all of the carts? Just the CPA cert alone requires a minimum of 40 hours per year.
Getting my EMT cert was pretty important for getting a job as an EMT. In all seriousness the difference between getting hired for my tech jobs vs as an EMT was interesting. I’m used to the standard multi week interview process, but for EMS the only question was if I had my certs.
That’s the beauty of it.
Pop!_OS is a piece of cake to install and has been my daily driver on a Lenovo CX1 for the past 3-4 years. (I’m assuming your comment is referring to Linux in general, not on a tablet).

Right, you are the cop-out I am complaining about. Linus is the premier figurehead of the premier open-source project. When a build tool he made for that project goes viral it isn't an accident. If it was anybody else's pet versioning control system would we even be talking about it?
Lineage is not Linux in the sense that Debian is. They share the kernel and that's it.
