But if you get far enough, you can also contemplate a bank loan or loaning from a private person. I would not want to give away % if there is healthy income in the company and no drive to go nuclear (just healthy growth, which isn't 100%+/year as VC demand).
It wouldn't surprise me if CC companies monitored social media for reckless spending these days with all the info back doors out there.

There is something that triggered the lockout. It's best to retrace steps to be sure about what originally caused the account lockout. That might be something in common with any card provider. When I was young and dumb, I got locked out unexpectedly after losing a job. If you post that you lost a job on social media these days... Lights you can't see can go off elsewhere...

They also ALL know your bank account balance without you even telling them.

The largest classes (CS 61A and CS 61B) have roughly 1800 and 1600 students respectively during peak semesters.

A 20 hour TA is paid ~$2250/mo for approximately 4.5 months per semester, plus ~$7000/semester in tuition remission (so ~$17k). $350 is the total cost for the whole semester per student. 17k/350 is about 50 students per TA, which sounds about right (and even that is a higher than ideal ratio). There are other costs too, but these are the some of the highest.
You might consider taking on some debt, perhaps in the form of a convertible note, given what the economy is doing. That gives you a cushion for N years of degraded revenue. Depending on the terms, the strings might be minimal.

If you sell equity, the VC's will expect a huge multiple return on investment over ~5 years.

If your company could get to $100m-1b a quarter with the VC money (but not without), then take the cash. If projected revenues after you saturate the market are much lower than that, then the VCs will probably want you to build the company so it can be easily acquired for a quick buck. It sounds like you don't want that.
What happens if we mandate that hospitals cannot charge patients more than the lowest negotiated price they have for any procedure? That is to say, if you have offered to perform a procedure for $X, you can not charge anyone more than $X for the same procedure.
log4j introduced supply chain security to the wider corporate world where most production run on Java and a lot more people finally realized how complicated it is to do incident response for these kind of situations.
I got my sysops backups monitored in Nagios. A script that runs in NSClient++ checks the backup date, size, and the backup log for errors. Still, you also need to inspect the backup manually from time to time - just to be sure.
Are we really going to rehash the same, tired argument that only STEM majors are useful to society? Having the narrow view of social benefits being solely centered around money is incredibly short-sighted, and I’m not even sure I want to respond to physics/Econ majors being “smart”.
There was a quote by an opposition politician in Germany to the argument that Germany should buy the Eurofighter (which had huge cost overruns etc.) because it creates jobs. Loosely translated: "We can also build a pyramid for Helmut Kohl [chancellor at the time] if the goal is to create jobs".

> Free money and labor for Amazon ecosystem.

"Free software for everyone" is precisely what Open Source is

> Honestly I'd love to see a license that was "Apache for everyone but Amazon (or other $100B+ companies and their subsidiaries)"

Yeah, that's basically what the BSL license Akka is moving to is. Only projects earning over X amount per year need the business license, for others it's free.
Marketing speaks to their audience, and tend to have a
lot of experience doing so (especially with established, well funded companies). If you don't get it, you're likely not their intended audience.

"an investigation into how we generate dispersed intimacy, signify alliance, and physical representations of our digital coordination praxis" sounds about right for an investment fund that targets corporate execs who are familiar with this kind of waffle and respond to it. The company in question (https://www.seedclub.xyz/) sounds about right for an exec to dabble their money in.
> But if you decide to open source something, keep your promises, no matter what.

I don't understand the sentiment of "once something is OSS, it has to be so forever". They owe you what exactly? More of their free time & money to hold up something you call a "promise" but is just their choice of license made many years ago?

They are being reasonable about it, you still get the source, you can still use it for free on a revenue < $25M. Companies making significant amounts of money now have to pay for it, instead of freeloading.

Its fine to spend your nights and weekends on passions projects when your young, its also fine to demand money for shouldering much of its development when said project grows large many years later and you have obligations towards your family. Its called being an adult.
This is so naïve. What makes you think that the Russians will keep North Stream 2 open, given the fact that they are closing North Stream 1 for the EU now?

If they will keep it open at all, it will be only after some heavy concessions on the EU side.
I recommend pockettube browser addon, add your favorite creators channels into your own channels feeds, then you turn yt back into uncurated feeds. Love it.

I put my favorite car channels into a #Cars group and get unfiltered feed like an old fashioned dvr. And then if a video is interesting, click hashtags displayed for the videos for more of the same content. Find a new channel, add it to your group. In a hurry, show last 100-500 videos, sort by top, watch a few. Time to kill, sort by new, and scroll.

Works, prob the best solution until something better comes out.

Length matching with a ground plane on the layer below will get you to USB 3.0 or PCIe 2.0 maybe. Maybe higher speeds need special PCB surfaces? Vias embedded in BGA lands? Not sure.

I think the Lisp Discord server is also better at this sort of thing. I've seen a few requests (not walls) or tips for better formatting in the #beginner-questions room but they're pretty polite, and at least one person with really messed up formatting initially improved and hasn't been chased off so... Despite the qualms I have with Discord itself, I also think it's just naturally more jovial than IRC in large part thanks to the interface. You can paste code blocks with basic syntax highlighting (don't need to farm out to pastebin (or risk people yelling at you for flooding an IRC room)), there are direct replies that can make parallel conversations easier to track, and the recent threading feature gets a bit of use, and separate but easy to see and reach channels for topic separation keep things better organized, there's easily searchable history...

I really wish developers would move away from talking about performance as a benefit of using their libraries. Pretty much all libraries are "fast by default", especially in the trivial examples that library devs tend to publish to show off their work. No matter what library you use, if your app is slow it's probably not the library. When performance is a part of the marketing naive developers move to it expecting their app to magically stop being slow because they used the fast library!. 99.99% of the time the libraries they were using before weren't the bottleneck and moving to a library that's faster doesn't actually solve the performance problems in the application's logic. If the app gets faster it's usually because they removed the slow bit as part of moving to a different library.

If you build an application that's genuinely slow because of the library you're using to pass data around, rather than the way you're using that library, I will eat my hat, your hat, and many other hats. In fact, I will adopt an entirely hat-based diet.

So was the decision to fight an economic war against Europe's major energy supplier

>Energy is however a commodity, and prices are set internationally either by private companies, or other govts...

What's not been mentioned in the other comments is that, in addition to the 30% price hikes on the actual cost of the electricity/gas we use at home, there has also been a similar price hike on the Standing Charge, which is the daily fee you pay, just for having your home connected to the grid. You continue to pay this even if you don't use any electricity or gas whatsoever.

I think this was the straw that broke the camel's back for many people. When the energy companies took advantage of the raising of the energy price cap to hike the costs of the actual energy they supply by 30% that was bad enough. But the fact they also took the opportunity to slap a similar increase on the Standing Charge was despicable.

There are various analytic APIs/libraries that will map data files into memory when there is surplus RAM available. That can really speed up processes which would otherwise be IO bound.
almost all bits that make python famous live outside the standard library. moreover nothing in common lisp prevents one from extending the language. in fact quite the opposite, common lisp gives you enormous flexibility to do just this. HOWEVER, what is required in practice is that your library should be popular enough for it to become defacto standard. things like this already exist [1], but common lisp community is quite small so major libraries are nowhere near as common as in other languages. still though, given its size, some exellent projects are under way

On the opposite side there are the baobab trees, which apparently are hollow inside past a certain age. Many people build "houses" or dwellings inside. Google "baobab house" for some images.
Other libraries depending on Akka shouldn't have to change, as they are merely published as "libraries", not deployed to "production".

Libraries generally never have "annual revenues more than US $25m", so it should be free for them to use the code as well.

Realistically though, they force you to contact them to get a "Additional Use Grant" in case you want to use Akka for other open source projects:

> I use Akka for an OSS project. What does this mean for my project?

> The license offers a customizable “Additional Use Grant” that grants production usage for other OSS projects including Play Framework.

> If you are running an OSS project using Akka, please contact us at akka-license@lightbend.com and we will do our best to continue to support your project.

I wish them luck on their endeavour, but I know what I'd do if I was building a OSS project needing distributed actors, and it's not to send them an email asking if I could please use their software.
But isn't that exactly how Emacs' documentation is organized? For each topic, you get an entry page that gives an overview, followed by a more detailed API documentation.
That's the big problem. Developers need to pay their bills. Open source doesn't account for that so it's hard to get developers to work for the project. The project works on volunteers and donated code. We are lucky with what we have. It's amazing.

We need a way to finance open source development. We need enough money for thousands of programmers . Fix that then we'll get all the fixes the software needs.
Yeah clearly.. But the point was that it should be the bare minimum before we allow resources, secrets/tech and money to flow into it from here. We shouldn't be round about propping up or aiding/allowing such, of totalitarian dictatorial governments.

It's $350 per student per semester, rather than hour. The course mentioned in the op-end is a 4 credit-hour course which typically means the class gets $200 per student per semester to host it

Some significant costs come from the massive scales the classes are taught at. This semester, the first required CS lower division class has 1800 students (https://classes.berkeley.edu/content/2022-fall-compsci-61a-0...) and an upper division DBs class has 600 students. (https://classes.berkeley.edu/content/2022-fall-compsci-186-0...).

It takes a lot of TAs to handle student support, which doesn't scale well in practice. The class I teach publishes lots of videos and documentation about how to do the labs, projects, and homeworks, and we also have a forum where students can (to a reasonable extent) help each other out with common questions. However, the classes teach a lot of stuff really fast and you need a lot of TAs doing things like office hours to help students who didn't understand the speedy lecture, or have a particularly nasty time trying to debug an error.

One particularly difficult thing about this scaling is that students typically need TA help all at once. Office hours right before midterms and project deadlines have many students and more bodies are needed just to have good handling of "peak" times

Another aspect of TA cost is that TAs are paid significant amounts of tuition remission for their work, and the department has somewhat of a mandate to ensure any graduate student who wants to TA can get full tuition remission from a 10 hour position or higher (I'm guessing this is somewhat of a symptom of skyrocketing tuition and inadequate aid being foisted on the department to deal with). The department used to get around this by hiring tons of undergrads at an 8 hour level so they wouldn't get remission, but they were sued and paid out millions in backpay as well as paying all TAs a scaled remission based on their hour count. (https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/01/16/arbitrator-sa...). Generally an 8-hour TA gets paid around $40 an hour after remission and a 20-hour TA gets paid around $50 an hour. [very rough math read the other comment for harder numbers]

-Am a TA, speaking for myself
That’s not the definition of yak shaving I’ve ever used. I’ve always thought of it more like:
- I find a bug
- I track it down to a library I’m using. The fix is in a later release.
- I go to upgrade the library, but that brings in some transitive dependency upgrades that accidentally broke an API used elsewhere.

So now instead of fixing my bug I’m rewriting API call sites across my project.
I agree, 7 is the closest we come to actually self hosting..
Unfortunately, due to a total lack of regulation, or distinction as to what constitutes Internet access, 7 is becoming increasingly problematic because ISPs are increasingly doing NAT and blocking outgoing packets.

I won't go as far as to say that, unless you're your own ISP, you're not self-hosting, but I'm leaning in that direction, from having experienced the increasingly firm hold that ISPs have around my neck.. It was not always like this. There was indeed a time when a connection to the Internet meant that you got to participate on the same terms at everyone else. I want that level of participation back for everyone. Participation by every connected device should be the default, not the exception.
So you are basically saying that leftist did not kill people, but their demonstrations and riots created an environment leading to people being killed, while comparing it to extreme right terror attacks ?
How times have changed, in 2006 when I enrolled into Undergrad CS everyone was saying all coding jobs would be offshored to Bangalore. All the cool kids went to Finance or Quant.
Great article. It’s inspiring to see what applications some simple algorithms can have.

Wow, that’s horrible.
TBH homeschooling is promoted by both vaxxers (they are paranoid and don't feel safe about their children being around other children) and antivaxxers (they don't want vax/mask mandates and other nonsense like eating lunch in freezing cold outside enforced on their kids). So vax preference here ain't really definition of "weird".

My kid spent pretty much continously like 1.5 month in 4-5 quarantines from school and guess what, he got COVID in between anyway, completely pointless waste of everyone's (parents/chidlren) time, because some parents had nothing better to do than ruin it for everyone else.

Btw. there is nothing really wrong with being weird, most of the people are stupid falling for whatever they are fed. Although it doesn't mean everyone weird is smart or better than majority.
I'd like to make sure I understand your position here.

You seem to be saying there is a body of ideas that has gained such a widespread foothold that they hold a significant place in the culture such that they can unfavorably affect social dynamics at civilization-wide levels.

If this is true, it would imply that we should be carefully -- some might even say critically -- be examining civilization at all levels from ideas (and their implications and consequences) through practices so we can understand those dynamics and perhaps help civilizations be more healthy.

Does that sound about right?

Because it also sounds like some kind of critical theory...
IMHO, keep doing what you're doing! Not much better than being beholden to no one but yourself. I don't think it's weird at all to want to keep that going.

Personally, I'm pretty inclined to shy away from VC unless it's unavoidable for the domain the company is in (e.g. hardware companies, which tend to require an unbelievable amount of capital outlay just to survive development + manufacturing).
Similar thought: I think you could stay there's a spectrum of yak shaving. I wouldn't as the article call 'going down the rabbit hole' yak shaving as rabbit holes feel more intentional.

My feeling of things related to yak shaving:

Rabbit holes - intentionally following some thread of associations looking for some insight or unexpected solution

Yak shaving - While working on something important you iteratively find something more important that you feel you need to deal with first. Supposedly but not necessarily it's something you have to deal with to be able to solve the original problem.

I agree that the articles example of yak shaving is a special case of yak shaving where it isn't very clear that the shaver feels that the distraction is more important. But I suppose such feeling is always a bit implied in the word distraction.
How long do they take in processing the complaint? What if (s)he is traveling and thus put in a difficult situation?
Nowadays I can't imagine travelling without Wise (former transferwise) card. I think Revolut also gives you cards but I have not used them personally. I'm using my bank just to pre-pay Wise account when needed
My house was built in 1905, all wooden frame. The timber is in perfect shape and as long as there are no leaks, will last for another hundred at least. It becomes very hard though and difficult to nail into. I would imagine wood has more longevity under the right (dry) conditions than steel.

Thanks for the comment! I was meaning the former (under debt).

The intention of my comments was to make clear that in that regard, Switzerland is not an efficient free market private insurance paradise. There are lots of nuances to it, and the private insurance system in fact brings in inefficiencies, namely, a very complex and costly cost itemization and enormous amounts of paperwork and stress for doctors, customers, employers, and the insurances (for example, if there is an accident in a public place involving a car, there are at least one or two days worth of people's times just filling in forms)
> I don't understand the sentiment of "once something is OSS, it has to be so forever". They owe you what exactly?

If I contributed to the project, I did so under the premise of the LICENSE that was active when I contributed. If I didn't like OSS, I wouldn't have contributed to a OSS project. Them changing the license is a middle-finger to me as a contributor.

> Its fine to spend your nights and weekends on passions projects when your young [...] Its called being an adult

With all due respect, fuck you. Equaling "open source" to "young people can waste their time" and "software needs to earn money" to being an adult is a really shitty opinion to put out there.

Me (40+ years old) and many others do open source because we want the world to be about more than just money. Just because you cannot understand that nor want the same thing, doesn't mean that we're wrong and you're right.
