Companies settle lawsuits all the time for claims they believe are meritlesss, for two reasons:

1. Going through a lawsuit all the way to conclusion, even if you win, is a long, expensive process that potentially exposes you to a considerable amount of negative publicity and causes a degree of internal chaos.

2. Juries are unpredictable and even a small chance of a bad outcome may be worth paying to avoid.
I don’t think it’s an issue of the tool or the tool created, as others have pointed out, but how would you ever know someone stole your stuff this way?

We still compile our TS to an ES5 target with bootstrap. If you copied a form from our site into the tool, it would be hard for us to tell you took it from us rather than writing it yourself. Maybe if you took some of our more custom card designs, but really, we wouldn’t know that you didn’t just design them yourself similar to how we did because you had the same issues.
You do know that bladed machinery is made with more and more safety features right? No one actually thinks "oh fuck em if they lose an arm". It just isn't a good comparison, nor a good solution.

Laptops suck and always will relative to desktops.

Desktops are more powerful, more upgradeable, and have better display and interface devices.

"Having a computer" is a much higher priority to me than going places. That means "desktop" because it means having all the perks above. The most expensive gaming laptop will suck compared to a mid-tier gaming desktop. You can't squeeze the biggest cards and the best cooling or tons of beefy hard drives in a laptop. Laptops are a fundamental compromise to aforementioned "computerness" for the sake of portability, which to me is a bad deal. Anything that offers more convenience (and marketability) will compromise its core qualities. Phones are the next step down that road from laptops.

It would be nice to magically take my desktop to the couch (I don't own a couch but figuratively), bed, terrace, or park, but not as nice as using a desktop instead of a laptop is in every other way. Wireless headphones help though. :p

Nice idea!

One that comes to mind is broken link tracker w/ keyword search. So if Zed's Open Source 3D Engine link is on my page & still working, but the keyword "Zed" no longer appears on that site because Zed was bought out by MiracleSoft, then I want to know about that ASAP because I partially represent Zed's amazing work, but would be happy to find and post some alternatives since I don't want to represent MiracleSoft.

Noob here: any idea of the approximate price tag that should be expected for such a monster?
Sure. Anything's possible. This is a fully generalizable argument. Maybe you, personally, cause 10% of the world's cancer, but other factors have caused an overall falling cancer rate, but when you, personally, die or turn off your magical cancer-causing powers, rates will fall even further.
You're probably being facetious, but season 5 was confirmed to be the last season when season 4 was announced.
Personally I am not outraged by the fact that Python’s most popular package authors must go through the “burden” of authenticating their accounts properly.
I do agree with that, and with the implication that one shouldn't add generics (or other abstraction) where they don't provide enough value for their costs.

But I'm confused because your example (adding a generic parameter to a function) seems to be an example of adding abstraction to code that did not previously have enough abstraction.
As I said, it’s pretty close, but not the same. Looking at http://www.displaywars.com/1-inch-3x2-vs-1-inch-d%7B16x11%7D, I’d prefer the green rectangle (with more inches of course ;)).
I don't have any cases handy off the top of my head, but lurk en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AIV for a while and I'm sure some will come up.

It's just discriminating against ranges that happen to correspond to IPs. There's no principle that says that's not allowed.

Re principle, you can always make an account. See the top-level replies to the story from humanistbot and disruptiveink.

It's wild to me that people think that Elon might actually face legal consequences for this.

The Delaware court isn't some magical place run by elves. It's a court in the US. You know what's a lot cheaper than $34 billion dollars, or heck even $1 billion dollars? $200k for 3-4 judges.

The Supreme Court just changed the law of the land based on a right-wing political campaign. You think a billionare, let alone the richest billionare is going to be subject to any serious consequences? It's absurd to even entertain this.

Natural doesn’t mean anything when it comes to safety of a substance. There are quite a few dangerous substances used for “organic” weed and pest control. Well controlled synthetics can indeed be safer.

That's completely correct.

Others?
I bought one, and I'm also upset with how Mac OS handles the scaling.

I've tried absolutely every utility that allegedly makes higher DPI monitors work: BetterDisplay, SwitchResX, EasyRes, and a few other little ones. BetterDisplay makes it sound like they support full resolution with any arbitrary scaling factor. But all of them, at least the ones that did ANYTHING, they only offered the exact same behavior that Mac's built-in display settings offered. They only let me run at a lower resolution. I'm on a 2020 Intel MBP.

Running it at 1920x2160 (just via Mac's built-in settings) is annoying, but it displays things at the correct size and lets me move on with my life. It's still slightly crisper than my old 96 DPI monitor, and the screen real estate + aspect ratio is absolutely amazing for coding.

It's a real shame that neither Mac nor LG has a solution similar to what Windows offers. Hooking the Dualup to my Windows 10 PC, it immediately just worked. Full resolution, 150% scaling, it was the perfect size. Text looks so much crisper on Windows than Mac with this monitor. I've been considering installing some Linux distro for my daily work just to enjoy proper scaling (I figure Ubuntu would offer something similar to Windows).
> Yet, PyPI is the go-to distribution channel

If the go-to distribution channel is run rampant with supply chain attacks, doesn't that kill the distribution channel? Surely the philosophical argument against forcing maintainers to use 2FA is at odds with the extremely real existential threats to the longevity of the service?
Talk about reinventing the wheel
No real good reason, honestly. I wasn't feeling positively about numpy devs at the moment, and didn't want to negotiate getting the code in. The library is solid though, and should be merged. I need somebody to pester me about it, to actualy work on that today.
Can you ctrl-click and drag to select a rectangular area? That works for me in Gnome terminal in that situation, if I'm understanding you correctly.
Ha, well tell that to the hard drive manufacturers and cloud providers.

The storage bill alone exceeded that at four startups I've worked with. When your job is to manage X PB of data with Y TB arriving daily, you're fairly constrained on the cost floor of your operations.

> You are making bad engineering decisions if you go through that in under a year.

Fine. You lack the imagination to conceive of a use case, or you lack the knowledge and skills to get the job doing it. Either way, this comment is rude and ignorant of the diversity of software challenges that exists in the real world.
Thanks for confirming! The pictures made it seem like it wasn’t VESA compatible.
That doesn't seem to apply to companies -- they make billions from open source and give back little, or nothing, to the majority of the authous and packages whose work they build on.

Now that's fine under open source licenses -- but if you want the "free", you also have to take the "no warranty".
I think there is great value if you sell this to all the small web agencies.

But it is a bit misleading to say it will copy a component. Components are more than HTML/CSS.

Maybe rephrase it in "templating" ?
Yes, I think you definitely can.
I'd approach it similarly to how one would approach freelance software development.

1. You already have a day job, and through your network, someone asks if you have time for side work.

2. You create some kind of a public portfolio that anyone can check out and market yourself to the type of clients you're interested in.

Your work will be viewed by most companies as a vitamin, rather than a pain killer, in that it's nice to have but not but not solving the most critical business problem - and this is why most documentation sucks - but, with some persistence you'll find clients who put value on your service.
We recently had to move away from Amplify unfortunately.

Here are some examples of problems we faced:

* Building Issues

we consistently have release problems that ends up taking a lot of of our time.
eg: a CLI update would end up breaking our CI [1].

* Overall instability

we regularly have problems that we need to work-around ourselves, sometimes in a really not elegant manner because we have not a lot of control. [2]

* Data Layer

DynamoDB is the DB of choice for Amplify. We do not understand this choice technically. It may make sense from a sales pitch perspective to use a serverless database along with other serverless technologies (API Gateway, AWS Lambda). Technologically speaking though:

- DynamoDB is a great, high performance NoSQL DB. To quote Rick Houlihan: "Not a flexible database but a really efficient DB to use at scale". You need to know your access patterns to query the DB in a efficient way.

- Amplify is aimed to bootstrap an application in no-time, letting front end developers focus on building. When doing so, the product is rarely defined upfront, let alone its access patterns. At this stage, data needs to change shape & format to adapt to new use-cases. In other words, data needs to be migrated. To this date though, the Amplify team does not provide a way to migrate data [3]

This disconnection between the initial business cases of DynamoDB and Amplify can even be seen within the AWS teams themselves. [4] We don't believe any of them are to blame. The solo Front End Engineer bootstrapping a quick Amplify app for a PoC feels like a way different use case than a team of highly trained data engineers working on their Single Table Design for their micro-service. Amplify rightfully tries to offer an easy way to deal with storing data. And so it follows a standard SQL design with DynamoDB. This though leads to bad performance (original selling point of DynamoDB) or other limitations hard to anticipate.

Overall it is pretty clear and fine that Amplify focuses on PoC projects rather than production ones (with features like Geo-tagging [5] but no way to migrate data). However, when starting to get traction, it is a shame we need to completely eject instead of being able to extend because of lack of (boring but necessary) fundamentals.

> Context and interdependency are everywhere.

Very much applicable to software as well :-) Modern systems are so complex there're very few people (if at all) who understand everything in them, even though they were man-made over time.
There were plenty of "thinking robots" in Sci-Fi of that era. Asimov aside, one example that immediately comes to my mind is Mike the computer in "Moon is a Harsh Mistress", and the titular villains in Saberhagen's "Berserkers" series; both are from 1960s.

Even that took me a while to understand it and, I guess, is another example of Numpy’s absurdity.

My initial thought was “None of the examples have arguments that are equal to each other, so that should evaluate to false.any()”, but that would mean all should return the same value, so that can’t be true, so I figured out that Numpy overloads/changes a == b to do item-by-item comparison on arrays, and return an array of booleans.

But then, the statement “This really only makes sense when `a` is a scalar” doesn’t make sense to me. That seems to indicate Numpy also overloads a == b as a comparison of each element of a with a single value b and vice versa, but that doesn’t make sense, given that arrays can contain arrays, making it impossible to discriminate between [1,2] as a two-item sequence and [1,2] as a single-item sequence where the item is a two-item sequence.

Reading https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10580676/comparing-two-n... further strengthens my impression that one should avoid using == in Numpy.
Brutally honest answer? You won't know until you try.

If you are looking for guaranteed returns and a definite ROI then stick with your 9-5.

Furthermore, your immediate way of thinking about monetizing shows that you have been corrupted by your FAANG experience.

From the second wikipedia link:

Solutions
Create an account
Blocks on T-Mobile IPv6 servers are set to "anon. only" (sometimes abbreviated as "AO" or "AB") meaning only registered users who have logged in can edit from this IP address. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, we suggest the following:

Create an account on a desktop or laptop computer and then log in with your phone.
Ask a trusted friend on a different network to create an account for you. You may use Wikipedia:Request an account.
Try again after the block on your IP address expires. Go to my contributions and follow the Block log link at the top of the page to find the length of the block.
See Why create an account? for a full list of benefits that come with registration.

Bypass T-Mobile's IPv6 servers
The easiest solution to avoid being blocked from editing Wikipedia while using T-Mobile is to bypass their servers altogether. By connecting to the Wikipedia servers from your desktop or laptop computer (or from your WiFi), the IP address that Wikipedia's server will see is one that is owned by your desktop ISP, rather than that of T-Mobile.

Instead of editing Wikipedia using the T-Mobile cellular connection, try using your WiFi connection. (This is increasingly a false dichotomy. T-Mobile is pushing into the home internet market with 5G cellular—to the tune of more than 640k US households at the close of 2021.)
Use a desktop or laptop, or WiFi only tablet computer. These computers are most likely not using T-Mobile, and therefore, do not route traffic through T-Mobile servers.
Autoblocked
If you have already logged into an account and your block message reads "Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by" followed by a username, or your block log (check via the Block log link at the top of your "my contributions" page) does not list any current blocks, then you have been autoblocked. Please go back to your blocked page and follow the instructions under the Autoblocked? section or alternatively here.
The term "magic number" pops up in many domains. Often it's because the underlying mechanism that yields the empirical result is unknown. If that's the case here then that context should not be lost because of a semantics argument.
