In my first startup one of my two cofounders was the initial CEO and I wanted to be the one who managed the cash. As it happened we only had to have a couple of those tough conversations because the three of us were all pretty parsimonious, but I slept better having some controls in place and knowing we wouldn’t run out of money.
> In a darwinian competition, eg "the marketplace of ideas," ethics will always lose out to money

I might be confused about the context or definitions, but I didn't read on any darwinian model that included notion of "losing out to". Did oaks lose out to orcas? Or was it the other way around?

Sales were around before the industrial revolution and likely before the agrarian revolution. I'd conjecture that whether one employs ethics or not, a moderate amount of salesmanship can spice up ones daily hunting-gathering.

I don’t know what kind of problems the person you’re referring to faced in setting up an eSIM in India, but I wanted to point out that eSIM has been available in India for at least four years or so, with the three major carriers (airtel, Jio and Vi) offering it for postpaid connections. For prepaid, only airtel and Jio offer it. Vi doesn’t offer eSIM so far for prepaid. Perhaps the new iPhones that people in India get from the US (because it’s a lot cheaper) will change that.

Apple is also quite stubborn in most of its decisions. So it will be up to the carriers around the world to support eSIM and improve the experience. If I were to guess, I’d say there won’t be physical SIM slots in all iPhones from 2023 (iPhone 15*) unless legally mandated in certain countries. Apple does not like ports and holes on its smartphones and smartwatches, and it will continue eliminating them at its pace.
A great and succinct explanation, thanks.

In the US, AI generated art cannot be copyrighted.

Edit:

Some additional details.

The US also denied a copyright for one where the creator listed themselves, with the AI just being a co-creator.

In particular:
>“Even though you argue that there is some human creative input present in the work that is distinct from RAGHAV’s contribution, this human authorship cannot be distinguished or separated from the final work produced by the computer program,” the office stated.

The US does seem to be a bit of an outlier here. The above work was granted copyright in Canada and India.

In the EU, AI generated artwork is likely copyrightable: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40319-021-01115-0

A vanishingly small number of people are informed on local issues enough to elect people that represent their views. And in California at least, local politics is completely toxic and has very nasty people that have been allowed to bully, yell, and spread falsehoods about anybody new to politics.

It kind of reminds me of a much more innocuous version of the French Revolution when it was going off the rails, and the wrong political opinion meant death. Almost nobody voted in elections, because keeping your head down was the best way to keep it attached to your body.
Local hidden variable theories are ruled out by Bell's Theorem. Not hidden variable theories in general. I realise GP was describing a local HVT, but it's still an important distinction.

At least from the Indian experience, I’d wager that tons of iPhones from the US find their way into other countries because it’s way cheaper to get it from there than pay local prices that may include higher customs duties, higher (than US) taxes, etc. It’s possible that a lot of iPhones in Cambodia are/were originally sold in the US.

The particulars don't matter here.

P.S. Programming Python since Python 1.3
What can I tell you,
We develop hardware and software using IFX microcontrollers, (HW still has bugs) compiling our code using GreenHills / GCC / HighTech compilers (they all still have bugs), debugging and testing equipment has its own quirks and bugs.
Oh and our software for sure is ripe with detected and undetected bugs as well.

Not much has changed over the years ;)
I have a cheap-ish Pixel 4a bought at launch. Never had a complaint with it, went through all the updates, I use it for mapping and listening to music daily as well as reading RSS.

Never a slow down or any glitch, except for connecting some Bluetooth devices.

As with all software, YMMV. At least Google is not throttling its CPU behind my back.

Also, Snowden has outed Apple as one of the corps complying with any government for customer data so don't get too high on your horse.
Personally I miss Kitkat 4.4. That sweet, sweet Mass Storage mode made file management oh so easy. No trying to copy things around only to have it bitch at you that the device is busy, or the crippled replacement MTP making Windows lose its shit at the idea you might want to copy a filetype that wasn't on its approved list. God we've regressed.
But keepass has the same thing and it is open source. That's why the OP was asking.

> absolutely deceptively terrible of an idea "tags" are

They are terrible. Not a single useful catalog of information uses the concept of willy-nilly off-the-fly generated tags. Their degree of terrible-ness is exemplified on any wordpress website. Absolute junk.

Folders are awesome, otherwise. Not in this case. Because you need to "open" a folder to look in. Can't eyeball closed folders. Easy to overdo with too many folders within folders. Easy to underdo putting too many unrelated things into one. Easy to fo wrong with naming the folders. Naming folders and find the "right home" for a file becomes a chore. Moving from one folder to another needs both to be well defined not overlapping.

A list of files is much harder to get wrong. In one extreme case, you have 1 big text file. The other, you have a huge list of text files. Both are not a nightmare to fix (sed+awk+grep is all you need). Works well on all OSes including those from the 70s and the ones on all my phones.
Copy and paste friendly. Super easy to backup. Also diffs well. Only issue i have is not being able to use images. Thats why I use email now. Just works. Every-fking-where.

GObject is a real tragedy of the NIH syndrome in open source.

In the late 1990s there already was Objective-C. It already had open source compiler support, a battle-tested runtime, a free software desktop environment, and a corporate sponsor that became the world’s most valuable corporation.

Instead of using what was already there, the Linux GUI community extracted a poor shadow of Obj-C out of the GIMP image processing program (itself a poor shadow of a commercial market leader).
Absolutely! I tend to be the one deploying the physical architecture so it still feels very real haha.
EU to consult on making Big Tech contribute to telco network costs
That’s a fix for the CompVis forks, not the diffusers system we are talking about in this thread.

Also, that’s only a partial fix that doesn't really work properly. It doesn’t affect img2img and it still gets things wrong on the first render. Since txt2img starts from scratch each time, that means you’re always getting an incorrect render, it just happens to be the same incorrect render each time.
I've been writing C++ GUI apps with gtkmm for more than 22 years. I rarely notice GObject, other than in a few minor cases where the gtkmm wrapper didn't fully provide everything from the C level. In almost all those cases, the only reason I am still aware of them is because I use an ancient version of both gtk and gtkmm.

I would say that it is essentially completely painless to interact with GTK and Glib via gtkmm and glibmm.
> intuitive because it has an actual file-system

I disagree with this. Most non-tech people don’t know or care about file systems. As long as they have the sharing options they need and find them easier to use, they’re satisfied. FWIW, iOS/iPadOS has a Files app that exposes part of the file system.
iOS is not better than android when it comes to security. It's at best equal, and in most perspective, slightly worse.

Compare Zerodium's payout for iOS vs Android:

iOS security was bad enough in 2020 that it even lead to:

https://www.macrumors.com/2020/05/14/zerodium-pauses-acquiri...

> Zerodium this week announced that it will not be purchasing any iOS exploits for the next two to three months due to a high number of submissions. In other words, the company has so many security vulnerabilities at its disposal that it does not need any more.

Android FCP zero-click has been keeping higher price than iOS for a few years now.
iOS iMessage RCE+LPE has been lower price than SMS RCE+LPE on android for a few years.
In almost every comparison, iOS has the same bounty as android or cheaper.

This, despite the fact that iOS bugs have more demand because of more premium targets.
The thing you have to remember about those usage figures is that they don’t really include the large numbers of low-end devices that are often running quite old versions of Android.

The sort of person who uses SHAREit and other platforms to minimise their data usage, often has to delete one app and install another to switch between them (due to lack of space), and certainly can’t afford a new phone every few years, is not included in these statistics.
I'd be fascinated to know what sort of things it is hard to write Postgres extensions for and how that interplays with their existing architecture choices, if you have the time to give some examples.
[Oh no, I found a review I wrote of the Lytro camera I bought at the time. The last modified in 2014 so I'm really not sure about the "quality" of the writing, it may well be "kwality", but if anyone wants to read a review of the Lytro written immediately around the time I got/used it: https://nerget.com/Lytro.html]

I bought a Lytro camera that was doing this possibly more than a decade ago. It was a “consumer” device, but it was pretty useless (though kind of pretty to look at?).

Essentially you lose huge amounts of 2d resolution on the sensor so the resultant picture were both very low res and also huge. Coupled with no standard format to be available, I vaguely recall that the only way to “share” the images was via a Facebook applet thing.

I assume a decade of work means they can process the data faster and get better resolution, but the tech itself is far from new.

Also you can title an article “this camera has no lens” and then start with “it has a microarray of thousands of lenses” :D

DevOps = Development & Operations... Used to be about one person/team practicing both.
However specialization is a thing, so there are "DevOps Engineers" who focus solely on getting the container management and CI&CD pipelines set up; and not writing actual application code.
I don't see how its unrelated to engineering, since its all software that needs to be written/configured/understood.
>If the money in is proportional to carbon, and the money out gets distributed perfectly evenly by population then the net result is progressive.

Monetarily, sure, but in practice the effect would feel regressive because income scales more faster than emissions. Someone who is 1000x richer than average isn't going to live in 1000 houses, eat 1000x more beef, or drive 1000 cars simultaneously. This means that they're in a much better position to simply eat the cost of a carbon tax while the poor and middle class will actually have to make the sacrifices to reduce emissions by carpooling, turning the heat down in winter, etc.
Yes, the warm-up issue is what I meant by “the very first run in a session uses an incorrect seed”. It looks like they’ve backed away from that now and expect developers to warm up themselves. Not a big deal, you can just use a single step to do that.
UML conflated system modeling with diagramming and focused too much on the diagramming.
I think it is more about convenience. If you are already lured into a certain cosmos, given a certain context, some additional features can make sense and later on give an app a shift in meaning. Think about Google Maps and certain recommendations.

How much equity do each of you have?

If you co-founder put in a lot of money, but you didn't, he/she might be able to out-vote you.

Do you have a board or VC oversight? Maybe they instructed him/her to do this?

Also, did you mean partner == "business partner" or were you actually dating? Because that would be an entirely different dynamic.
Good stuff! I'll check it out.
> Eh? He's not wrong.

It's wrong when stated as a blanket statement like that. It depends on the particulars of the case.

I've worked in a company that's taken this dictum as gospel and took it to its absurd extreme where refactoring of any kind was forbidden.

I would explain some dark corner of the codebase and everybody would basically agree that it was in bad shape. I would then explain what I wanted to do about it and people would say "Is that a refactor you're suggesting?" in a tone of voice that would be more appropriate when saying "Is it killing babies that you're suggesting?"

As coincidence would have it, that was a Perl shop. So I speak from experience. And that experience has left me somewhat scarred.

Imagine working on a codebase where any mistake you ever make you're just stuck with. And it's not just your mistakes, but other people's as well. And the mistakes just pile up and pile up and start interacting with each other in nasty ways and there's just no way out. I love being a programmer, but there is little in the world that I hate more than having to be a programmer under such circumstances.

What's more is that the financial benefit of not refactoring is a benefit that usually accrues to those who are in power in a company and who don't have to touch the codebase, whereas the psychological cost of not refactoring accrues to those who have no power who are forced by the others to wallow in the muck. -- That's the thing that Spolsky consistently just doesn't get. He consistently represents the one-sided view of someone "in power".

As a programmer under such circumstances, it really makes no sense to throw away your psychological wellbeing so that your company's owners can make more money, just like it doesn't make sense for a miner to give himself lung cancer so that the owners of the mine can make more money.

Conversely: If you're the owner of a software company (or mine, or whatever) you should partially think of refactoring as an employee benefit that will pay for itself through increased productivity. It's a point that's very convincingly made by Tom DeMarco in his book "Peopleware" [1]. Asking your employees to dial down the quality of their output so you can realize cost savings almost never makes sense when you take into account the human side of the economic equation. You'll demotivate them and the losses in productivity will outweigh the cost savings.

Elementary is heavily dependent on the GTK ecosystem, which has its own OOP system implemented in C (for example like GObject). It is really hard to map GTK's OOP semantics to Rust. People have tried things like https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk3-rs, but it requires heavy macro usage and doesn't feel like ergonomic Rust. On the other hand Vala is directly built upon the GObject system on the first place, so it's more fitting for GTK-specific development.

That’s one case, not a ruling about all AI generated art. It won’t be the same for every image involving AI in some way. What if you use AI to fill in a portion of an image, as with Adobe’s content aware fill? What if you use a series of SD steps but with a human selecting outputs and feeding them back in as inputs to get something else the AI could not have come up with on its own? The copyright conversation is only just beginning.
> a language that's struggling to get 1% of the market is a fringe view

This is an extremely strange argument. How much market share do you think C has in 2022?

You seem to massively underappreciate the dominance of the web and the hegemony of languages like JavaScript and PHP. System languages are a very tiny niche and there's much less changes there than in other domains.

Rust has obviously way less than 1% market share but it's still extremely successful in the niche it's targeting. (And btw, we're talking about the only niche that still hasn't embraced memory safety, mainly because there was no acceptable tools for that meeting their requirements)
> Why should we let the government mandate what we do with our own safety?

You do whatever you want to do with your own safety. Feel free to protect yourself anyway you like or don’t like while you are working on your own. Nobody is going to stop you.

Grab a sledgehammer and start “remodelling” your kitchen naked if you want. Stick your wet fingers into live voltage or weld with a safety squint. Nobody offical is going to show up to stop you. Not in the USA, not in the EU.

The regulations are there to make sure the tradespeople you might hire get reasonable protections. That people employed can expect to go home healthy and safe at the end of their workday.

Also on the flip side if you ever get hired to do some honest work you won’t get maimed because your employer choose to skimp on your protection to have more money they can spend on a marble kitchen countertop.
Simple player vs library though.
I think the BSL license is a good compromise for businesses looking to protect their IP, and after a year release everything under MIT or Apache. As long as they keep innovating, the latest and greatest will always come from the code authors themselves with a potential for dual licensing to enterprise to earn some revenue.

That being said, I've personally chosen Apache2 for my projects. I feel that the growth and adoption from the community outweigh not having VCs crawling at my door, if you can afford this path. Curious what others have to say about other high profile switches from Mongo, Elastic, Sentry, etc.
Ironically, the one computer where I still have to maintain multi process discipline, with a boot and init system, hardware management, multiple users, and low level filesystem stuff is… my desktop PC!

We used to think “the year of the Linux desktop” would be the extension of the Linux ecosystem to include both servers and desktops. Now that Linux personal computers are finally mainstream — at least for people like us — will it instead turn out to be an exodus from the former to the latter?
I think you missed the sarcasm in my post. I was not at all serious and completely subscribe to everything you just mentioned
The solution is easy. You purchase a general purpose computer and use it. A smartphone is not a general computer, it's more of an appliance, and correspondingly Android and iOS have a variety of limitations.

A smartphone is also not something you really need to use a lot to get by in life -- sure, it adds a lot of convenience, but almost everything it does can be replaced by a dumbphone and a general purpose computer. Personally I still use one but if I find myself using it for anything other than calls, texts or food delivery apps I usually set it down and walk over to my Linux PC where I can do it equally well.
Had you been through the trouble of installing it, and tried the NDK, you would have found a primitive development experience requiring devs to manually copy code from GitHub to use NDK frameworks.

How after 10 years Google thinks that is a good development experience baffles me.
GIMP development started in 1995. The GNU Objective C frontend (the one that has stayed in use) started in 1993.

I would hardly consider the GIMP developers (who became the early developers of GTK) to be rash in their option not to adopt a language that had only been available for a couple of years in the open source world.

And all these years later, at a time when Apple has essentially abandoned Objective C, GTK and Glib continue to provide bindings for dozens of languages to create cross-platform GUI applications, and even if many of us don't agree with the direction(s) it has taken, GTK itself has continued to evolve, whereas UI libraries that came with Objective C have become frozen in time.

So in short, not really a tragedy at all.
