All interested by me concepts are covered, that open ability to write different complex logic for manipulating data.

WoW. Thank you very much for all of that! This is really great, and has powerful potential to become inner-script language for many different projects where must be ability to write some kind of macroses, scripts inside the main enveriopment (game engines, game emulators)

Good job! I feel that you have wide experience in scripting languages that developed inside some big project for inner purposes inside a big app.

This is an awesome pro tip. The results reminds me of the early 2010 google results.
The thing is that people can make harmful art themselves. Photoshopping people's faces on nudes and depicting graphic violence has been a thing since digital photography if not painting in general. I mean, look at all the gross stuff which is online and was online way before these Neural Networks.

The issue with these neural networks isn't the content they create, it's that they can create massive amounts of content, very easily. You can now do things like: write a Facebook crawler which photo-shops people's photos on nudes and sends those to their friends; send out mass phishing emails to old people with pictures of their grand-kids bloody or in hostage situations; send out so many Deepfakes for an important person that nobody can tell whether any of their speeches is legitimate or not. You can also create content even if you have no graphic design skills, and create content impulsively, leading to more gross stuff online.

Spam, misinformation, phishing, and triggering language are already major issues. These models could make it 10x worse.
Don't GitHub Actions offer MacOS builds?
Who calls Lisp a "write only language" other than people who don't know Lisp?
Reminds me of a toy girl doll I heard about which had a speech generator which you could program to say sentences but had "harmful" words removed, keeping only wholesome ones.

I immediately came up with "Call the football team, I'm wet" and "Daddy lets play hide the sausage" as example workarounds.

It's entirely pointless. Humans are vastly superior in their ability to subvert and corrupt. Even if you were able to catch regular "harmful" images humans would create a new categories of imagery which people would experience as "harmful", employ allusions, illusions, proxies, irony etc. It's endless.
It is very common for programmers who are new to Lisp to close their parentheses in the former style. However, it is a crutch that they soon do away with if they stick to the language for any length of time.
It's not the author's furniture sorting algorithm. It's the Waterhouse family's. It tells us a considerable amount about the Waterhouse family's particular dysfunctions, and the various Shaftoes' ability to tolerate, or slot into supporting roles around that, and in particular it digs deeply into the conflicts that arise between hyperrational people who think 'we can build an algorithm that will permit a fair and equitable distribution of wealth' and the reality of people who will abuse the properties of that algorithm to make sure they get what they want.

If you think that was an irrelevant aside to the rest of the book's themes, I dunno what to tell you.

I remember how expensive computers were back in late 90s and early 00s - I think that was primarily the source of the warning especially if one could afford a laptop. In college I worked in computer lab and drinks without lids were banned although the only potential damage was just to the keyboard and perhaps monitor - with the PC ducked away under the desk.

That said, a couple of years ago one of my employees accidentally spilled a cup of sweet tea on a brand new costly MacBook Pro and fried it. (Here is a fun fact - Apple limited warranty does not cover liquid damage and AppleCare+ only covers up to 2 incidents!)

I almost added a policy but quickly realized it wasn’t going to work especially when coffee is almost a requirement for many of us - so instead, I decided to add AppleCare+ and also cover equipments via general liability insurance and hope for the best.

This reminds me that the last decade or so, we all collectively had panic about smartphones & driving - some states even have laws against it. But everyone now drives entirely clued to their phone - it’s scary to observe but I guess we’ve evolved to have a third eye or something in addition to collision avoidance tech in modern cars!
The seals were already somewhat fixed after the shuttle blew up. It would still be better not to have any seals at all and just have the boosters be one piece, but you would have to build a new factory (probably in a different state, can't have that!) to make them. It's probably mostly fine how it is.
CSPRNGs don’t have that issue.
I think the best strategy is laid out for the Colorado basin by the Southern Nevada Water authority and could be applied across the American west, see the suggestions at the end with the first being the most important

Create new beneficial use criteria for Lower Basin water users, eliminating wasteful and antiquated water use practices and uses of water no longer appropriate for this Basin’s limited resources.
How does this even help?

Surely for the people who visit the site and do buy a ticket the revenue lost from them blocking ads would be basically insignificant compared to what they pay for their tickets. And obviously the people that visit the site while blocking ads and don't pay for a ticket won't be paying the surcharge.

I guess ultimately it helps by just bringing in extra revenue via a sneaky hidden charge that most people won't realize is there. But it doesn't really have anything to do with ad revenue.
Same here. I don't do any SEO, so my site runs under the radar and that is a good thing, because more traffic means more responsibility. It's just for showing off my skills, like when I'm looking for a new job, and playing with technologies. Right now every now and then someone leaves a comment, but that's it.

I should have clarified. If one of the many things this framework gets used for is building systems for car theives that shouldn't make an entire framework illegal. I understand a software product whose overwhelmingly predominant use is to break the law will have trouble in many jurisdictions. But using the framework as a white hat to find vulnerabilities with a POC should always be legal. (or grey, grey is kind of the new white given how unresponsive people are to fixing things)

GDP per capita isn't the be-all and end-al of statistics for defining a country's success. Just ask the residents of the Republic of Ireland, the country with the second highest GDP/capita in the EU, how they feel about this position.

Sure, life is good here, if, you're not a tech worker, and that sector become more and more important in generating wealth, skilled jobs with a future, attracting skilled immigrants to pay taxes, and to project influence and soft power globally, that's why so many smart but not necessarily rich countries jumped to take advantage of this new sector (China most famously).

So a high GDP per capita might not save you in the long run if every ambitious tech graduate is leaving your country to Switzerland, London, Germany, Ireland, SV, etc. for a better environment where they can grow their career and earn better salaries, which leads to most tech products and web services used in your country all coming from abroad because your domestic tech industry is shit since your country got complacent and decided to sleep through the tech revolution with the idea that you'll "be fine since we're 8th GDP/capita in the world".

Not just nascent Lispers. I inherited something like this in a C codebase before (several times, actually, only one that I had to actually edit though):

#define BEGIN {
#define END }
#define INTEGER int
...

Yes, they even did it with the types. Made for a weird Pasctran language that the dev was apparently more comfortable with. I think they actually got a C translation of another program almost "for free" doing this. The real thing was they didn't want to write new code and didn't want to learn C, so they subjected everyone after them to this horror.

Moral of the story: If you can't be bothered to learn a language and its conventions, be honest and get another job.
Problem is who determines if it’s a smear campaign? The author claims it was, and I tend to believe him but I haven’t investigated. Have you? And then, how determines if it’s extreme enough to warrant some action? In the ideal world sure there would be an army of people investigating every case in detail. But then 1) Twitter becomes the arbiter of truth and 2) definitely can’t scale.
This is a pretty good article IMO; it pegs exactly why Scrum failed: the company has to change and not crunch developers. It requires a change in power structures, and it's pretty rare for a software delivery methodology to cause that.

I wonder how much successful software is developed with Agile/Scrum. Safari? OpenJDK?

My line of inquiry here is: what is Agile/Scrum about? Is it software Marxism (the workers seizing the means of production)? Is it process (mass production)? Is it software Protestantism (waterfall is Catholicism)? Is it vague unfalsifiable snake oil? Are other similar things (microservices, hexagonal architecture, DDD, functional programming, OOP) in this group?

I honestly don't know, and I welcome a serious discussion about it.

My team is all well compensated, above top 5 US metro average, full remote and all highly technical.

It's surprising to me that out of 100 people no one asked for a raise after seeing a pool of money, although there's a lot of industries and types of employees out there.

It's a smart thing to do from the employee perspective-- I would do the same in their shoes, I don't hold it against them, I'm actually a big fan of ambitious employees, and I've granted their requests (maybe not the full value of their ask, but at least part) every time.

Your mileage may vary.
I followed the instructions in their README, they suggest conda, but don't tell you to use it.

My GPU isn't even CUDA-capable, but the previous version of Upscayl worked fine, possibly on the CPU. That might have changed, I don't know.

In any case, even with conda installing everything would have been a pain to someone not really accustomed to the Python ecosystem. I don't care too much about the GUI, but a working AppImage is really nice.

Its difficult to say which is the correct approach, but one thing I know is pricing is very hard and getting it wrong is costly. Getting usage first allows for constant valuable feedback but also establishes a value on the product within the user’s mind. What is this worth to them? How much time is it saving them?
It removes pretext used for justification of seizure and torture. Doing nothing enables the oppressor in this case.
This is true at a fundamental level in that we need food to eat but there is a really strong argument that a huge fraction of the agricultural water use in the American west is not "useful" or at least should pay market rate. Examples include flood irrigation which could be readily converted to drip and reduce water usage or growing animal feed (particularly for export), simply stop doing these here and do it in places with more water.

This is basically a straw man, no one is saying to stop growing food to save water, but we can save a lot of water without anyone starving. Beef would be more expensive and some other countries would lose cheap imported feed (alfalfa, teff, etc).
Time for adblockers to add the whole Wizz domain to their lists then?
Thank you for brilliant comment highligthing the OSS issues.

But I believe you're missing the main point that OP is making: OSS will _statistically_ dominate every single niche.

There are just more reasons why non-OSS software would cease to exist - so eventually Inkscape will become a de-facto standard for Illustrator things; Blender will become de-facto standard of all 3D-Max things; OBS will become a de-facto standard of all Macromedia Flash Broadcast ... oh wait ... did that happen already?
> If you do book any Wizz Air flights and notice any unexplained extra charges in your booking summary, turn off ad-blocking software, which should remove the surcharge.

Do not turn you ad-blocking software (that's what they want), instead warn your local consumer protection authority, and email a copy of your reporting to Wizz Air, I'm pretty sure the £10 fee is going to disappear as well, for you and luckily for everyone else.
You’re eligible for compensation in those cases - claim for it.

Most of those keyboards are programmable, so any accented key can be mapped easily.

If you want the keycap legend to match it's more complicated though. But if you touch-type you can be ok with it.

I made up my own weird layout (including accented characters for 3 languages), but that's not an issue since I'm ok with fully blank keycaps.
> Apologies for being negative, but I think I've watched too many videos and read too many articles from successful people/companies and am starting to think that survivorship bias and luck gives too much authority to advice that is actually not that useful.

I agree with you. How many founders are able to find success twice? How many thrice? It's shockingly low, even amongst the most respected tech magnates.

Here's an example I like to use which I'm sure will be controversial, and I want to preface this by saying I've personally met and respect Justin Kan. But if you look at his history of starting companies, he only gets worse with time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Kan

He started with twitch which sold for just under $1 billion, then had SocialCam which sold for $60 MM, he then sold Exec for an undisclosed amount, and after that his initiatives shut down or are ongoing. Obviously he still has time for some big exits, but the trend doesn't make it look like he's learning.
Your local consumer protection authority won’t have any idea what you’re talking about - they aren’t experts in these things.
Beef also uses a ton of water, probably more than almonds.
As a general concept, I'm not opposed to having to pay for a service instead of seeing ads. Or even better, to be able to choose whether I want a free service with ads or a paid service with no ads.

But if I'm already paying for the service (in this case, the airline ticket) why are you trying to show me ads? This makes absolutely zero sense
>They are not allowed to just "take away" a domain without just cause". That domain is still registered and you are free to take it to another registrar.

Im not sure you read or understand the links correctly so let me clarify.

>This is very different from a more colloquially understood usage of cancel, which would imply that they immediately terminated service and did not allow the domain registrant to keep the domain.

that is exactly what CloudFlare did. They manually set the domain to expire quickly and prevented the user from transferring it out.

In the case of NameCheap, while they did allow transfers out, also manually set the domain to expire quickly and failed to give users adequate time to transfer.

Overriding a domains expiration date to a date in the near future is akin to cancellation. Sure we could split hairs and argue semantics about the technical difference between a "forced accelerated expiry" and a "cancellation". But ultimately what matters is, in both cases, the registrars manually overrided the domains registered expiration dates with a date in near future, effectively cancelling them. 100% "taking them away without just cause".
Isn't this what we've been asking for? They either make $10 selling you info to marketers or you pay extra? And this is an ultra low-cost carrier. It's almost expected.
Simple, the front is not thick enough to accommodate a common port like USB or Lightning. If you put it on the sides, it defies the purpose.

Changing the design to accommodate a port in the front doesn't make sense because the primary function of the device is to act as a human-computer interface and optimising the design for that purpose is paramount, charging is not a primary function but something that we have to do with electronics and as a result having long battery life and short charging process is good enough solution(the battery lasts about a month, charging takes about 2 hours but will work for hours even with a few minutes or charging). Why would you compromise a design for something that needs to be done occasionally and can be done out of the service(i.e. at nigh, when not using it).

Covid reactivated my cold sores. I usually get one every year or two, can feel it when it's about to happen, and Abreva (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Docosanol) kills it before it even breaks the skin.

During covid I got a vicious one on my lip like I've never had before and that Abreva had no effect on, and another awful one in my nose which has never happened before. Almost the only bad effect of covid that lasted longer than the first day.

Can covid damage some immune subsystem that usually suppresses herpes?

mostly no, although they do use wells but aquifers are drying up leading to salt water intrusion and subsidence. Further, most underground water can be more easily treated for drinking than surface water.
I don't know about fully open, but I think Buffer is an example of a company that shares unusually much. https://buffer.com/resources/revenue-dashboard/

There's some sort of list at https://openstartup.tm/ but I think a lot of companies listed there are open with only select pieces of info.

Both of these are about public sharing though. Employee sharing is trickier to know from the outside. Perhaps Valve Software because of the lack of hierarchy?
There is a long history of liability in the USA when you take on editorializing roles. This was broken by the Communication Decency Act (CDA section 230) but case law has is slowly moving back. It is a valid concern.

If CDA 230 were taken away, I wouldn’t be surprised if common carrier laws fell as well. The telephone companies can listen to all phone calls, so they may need to editorialize (mute, disconnect, report to police) on various illegal calls.
When I got down to Wizz Air's statement about "bugs in adblockers" making browsers "act unexpectedly" thereby triggering the robot detection code, I was reminded of the robot detection functionality in a very common enterprise WAF middle-box that injects background JavaScript on the page to detect bots. The code supposedly produced no user-visible change but would participate in some SOAP challenge/response fluff.

We ended up never deploying it because the false positive rate was absurdly high- on the order of 38% or so- with no tuning options available (short of falling back to a captcha). Having said that, I'd expect that this is a very common practice. I also suspect that blaming the ad blockers for lazy middle-box usage (if indeed that's what this particular case proves to be) is _not_ going to age well.

The significance of fuel, and petroleum specifiically, to war operations is a significant part of Daniel Yergin's epic history of petroleum, The Prize.

It includes not only WWII, in which oil (much supplied by the US to both its own and allied forces, though with Russian and Romanian production also significant) was determinative, but WWI, in which the significance of oil, and its role in transforming infantry and cavalry to a mechanised army and nascent air forces was first realised.

Very strongly recommended.

Is this even legal?

I know the EU has an anti-price discrimination policy based on location, so that probably does not apply, but I don't think they thought anybody would be crazy enough to do this.

Calling it a 'System Surcharge' seems highly misleading and one of the things the EU tends to come down on like a ton of bricks is misleading line items in service charges. If they had called it an 'adblock surcharge' they might get away with it but this seems entirely on purpose.
