It's interesting to see this statement. When it comes to Copilot, many people share the sentiment that it has copied code from open-source projects without their permission.

However, when it comes to a different group such as artists, also many people seem to believe stable diffusion/DALLE-2/midjourney et al. are "just weights in a neural network and the neural network is generating art based on its understanding of text and style".
> If it is a class A amplifier, I think that would make sense.

The much more standard class AB still uses 25% with no output, 100 W idle would be a stereo 200 W amplifier. Or a 5x 80 W surround amplifier.
> I could barely keep my head above water

This is no longer about the original topic, instead I'm going off on a tangent inspired by your comment.

I'm curious if you could do something with this short comment: I only really felt I "got" swimming when I felt as comfortable under as above water, and more importantly, dynamically mixing the two. As long as my swimming mode, in the early days. concentrated on staying above water, from today's point of view it was maybe the quarter of the way to swimming safely at most.

Staying completely submerged during swimming while you don't need air saves a lot of energy, you can just swim through big ocean waves without being bothered, etc. Also, being used to spending most of the time completely submerged makes it easier to deal with when it happens accidentally.

A swimmer trying to keep their head above the water at all times, I don't think that this works very well unless conditions (of oneself too) are ideal or close to it.

Even then, I think I heard it in one American astronaut's interview about his training, additional high-stress training under water that you can't usually get because it has to be well managed by other people including safety divers, would still be missing from a normal person's experience. As a new diver I got into a very mild panic only once, fortunately close enough to shore (California kelp forests off a Monterey beach), and it was bad enough. I would not want to be caught in some eddy unable to surface with mounting alarm. Still, being comfortable doing most of the swimming submerged already is a huge step up from head-above-water mode swimming.

One should also have reviewed the local water currents and what to do when one is caught, but that's another issue.

RFC 1034 A fully qualified domain name must have a final dot/period after the tld. Adding the dot to a address that isn't resolved via DNS seems to be confusing the lookup.

Edit: leaving the above despite being untrue save semantically. inet_atom just wants byte order addresses dot separated and adding a trailing dot isn't anticipated and returning a error.
Yes. That is the problem. It should.

> It just seems completely pointless to even bother with something x11's network transparency

this kind of statement astounds me. The internet is essentially based on network transparency, it's the gold standard for local area networking too. If it hadn't been invented yet and somebody just proposed a viable scheme to create network transparency, your eyes should light up with the possibilities... imagine a Beowulf cluster of these.

network transparency is what networks should provide, not for graphics, but across the board. It's the Apples and Microsofts of the world who don't give it to you both because they never understood it, and because it disrupts their walled gardens. You are thinking of a few network features that you want, and instead of conceiving it as properly architected orthogonal software features, you just want special purpose code for your two features (video and video games) in the current context.
does switching to DoH works for you?
Apple really needs to do something about the slow-start problem though. Even on my shiny M1 Mac with Monterey it sometimes takes several seconds to start a tiny executable . What's the point of developing new faster CPUs if it takes the software guys just a few months to undo all the hardware progress?
>Why? What was the point of forcing students to do that?

So you're saying BART employees are providing a vital job serving critical infrastructure? Sounds like the kind of worker you'd want to make sure gets decent pay and working conditions then.

"Without leverage workers wouldn't be able to negotiate better salaries" is hardly a novel idea. The top 10% of people in software development (hint: if you're on HN, you're probably in that 10%) can usually rely on market demand as leverage for the time being. For everyone else the best chance at gaining leverage is collective bargaining. Seems like it's working quite well for BART employees.

> our money

What percentage of your income goes to BART? What percentage of your income goes to militarizing the police and to the prison industrial complex? What percentage of your income goes to the military industrial complex? What percentage of your income goes towards rent? What percentage of your total compensation goes towards health insurance? What percentage of your delivered value goes towards your employer?

If you're upset about not getting your worth it feels like there are a lot bigger drains siphoning off that surplus value than BART. Seems odd to get so upset about BART salaries when their work seems to be vital enough that refusing to work can "paralyze the entire Bay Area".

I know of a popular project using Github Sponsors as a payment method to provide premium-only features on GPL code, giving access to a private repo. These features are most definitely derivative work. Is this breaking any rules of Github/Sponsors? To make matters worse, I create an account to contact the project and request full source code, but Github immediately flags the account from public view. I submit support tickets, but it always shows I have no tickets open and the account is still flagged. So, I can't even request the source code or report a likely violation to the project, and Github is taking a cut.
In the 80s, your VCR would frequently be plugged in, and it would keep pumping out a placeholder blue screen at a minimum, particularly if connected via antenna passthrough.

However startup time would be minimal - a couple of seconds - compared to warmup for the CRT, which would usually be at least 10 seconds before it would look settled. But I recall devices generally being much faster to start up. A C64 would boot to READY prompt in 3 seconds. The penalty for turning off completely and needing to wait for boot was small, and for computing devices, wait time was dominated by loading, not booting. You might have to wait for a rewind with a VCR, and you'd certainly wait for tape loading on devices in the C64 class. Consoles with cartridges didn't take long to boot up and load though.

I see a lot of negative connotations in the comments so far. But honestly, the first thing that popped into my head was the relatively recent book "Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance".

In it, the author argues that success has more to do with the amount of energy and time you invest in improving, rather than any natural gift you may have for a specific job or sport. Or at least, that talent is not sufficient for success.

I see a lot of truth to this; e.g. there are plenty of people who are super intelligent, but have lackluster skill portfolios, or are way to quick to switch jobs or environments when it's anything but ideal. In a controversial way, this may even be somewhat correlated with being very talented, since there's a history of having things go easy for you and not needing to learn healthy coping mechanisms for adversity. Before we get too far along that wagon though, there's probably also the flip side, where people are _too_ gritty, and don't solve problems that should be solved, because they can endure through it. It's something of a balance. But the core message is good; people who are passionate and enduring about their profession tend to be good at it.

You should. What’s the point of licenses if big companies ignore them?

Personally I’ve only ever released source as MIT, knowing it could be resold or used for nefarious things, or kept source private. I don’t trust ransoms on the internet to respect posted licenses, so anything I post publicly I post with as much permission as possible.
Okay ? It can be lib. Just make wayland use it, not be thing every DE needs to. DE shouldn't care about where the mouse movement data comes from and should not need to compensate based on device.
I think it all depends on whether you expect the deception to involve some degree of malice. While there are certainly malicious individual actors and institutions that we can point to and blame, this is on a systematic level in which the system itself is the scam, and with little distinction between the deceivers and the deceived; perpetuated by belief, and strengthened by competition and demand. It favors only the very few who either lucked out, e.g. by choosing a profitable degree, or those who figured out how to game the system, the opportunists; neither of whom designed the scam nor run it. In fact, it was never designed to be a scam. It's simply an aged system that now must be run as one in order to stay relevant and survive.

The deception is in the belief itself, and the government has a tremendous power to shatter it, yet they choose not to.

If I understand you correctly, yes. freexrdp has an option to render only a single window instead of the hole desktop. This works amazingly well and feels native. This is the trick WinApps uses.

You could either use WinApps or create your own script and add it to a desktop entry. Users can then open RDP Gimp like any other application without even noticing.

Chest freezers do have much thicker insulation on all walls (as they aren't constrained by the standard widths (24 to 40 in in the US, I think? 60-90 cm in the EU).

Chest freezer seals are far better than upright freezer seals because:

* The length of the seal is smaller compared to volume,

* The height of the seal is not constrained by the closing magnets (as mechanical latches are not legal on consumer freezers),

* The temperature differential at the top of the freezer is smallest.

The specific heat capacity of air at constant pressure is ~1 kJ/kg K and 1 m^3 air has a mass of ~1.2 kg, so 1 kJ/kg K * 1.2 kg = 1.1 kJ/K. Even a freezer that exchanges 2 m^3 of air for outside air at say a 70K differential (the difference between -40C and a 30C room) for each opening only has to remove 1.1kJ/K * 2 * 70K = 154kJ, or 0.05 kWh, which is the standard unit of electricity.

An unit of residential electricity in the most expensive US State (Hawaii) is 41.2c / kWh, so opening our enormous freezer in the worst possible conditions and completely exchanging the air using the most expensive electricity costs us 2¢. It's a complete non-factor.

Cond vars are fiendishly hard to implement correctly. Demanding an implementation to be bug free, fully featured and scale on a variety of loads is ridiculous.
Previously movie makers found the ways good for most of the people, sound effect and discussions being in balance so to enjoy the work, lately they lost their way in many cases (not all) and instead of enjoying the movie the adjustments of volume is required or just turning on the subtitles.

The problem is that dialouges are incomprehensible, inarticulate, while the sound effects and the musics blow your head off in the next second. Lately, not that much previously. Previously this was not a problem, recently they lost their ability to make it well. Many of the movies became not entertaining but agitating this way.

It was never a requirement that everyone will have their own particular personal taste satisfied and that is not something that is missed. More like the ability to be able to follow the story! Which is ruined in more and more cases by bad sound.
I'm not sure CORS would allow such function.
> Cursive was extremely practical or fast note-taking

You mean it should have been that. We had tons of people (me included) whose cursive stuff is 100% illegible (we were forced to use it for the first few years at school, not 100% sure if it was only the 4 years of elementary school) and as soon as we were allowed to use whatever type we liked (be it cursive, or printed, or a mix) suddenly I could read what I wrote and I was also a lot quicker.

DE9 ports - get the terminology right! - were introduced on the IBM PC/AT in 1984 so they weren't especially new in 1990.

Indeed, by 1990 DB25 serial had pretty much vanished from PCs, and only existed as a thing that was a pain in the arse to connect to over existing cabling.
I have noticeable screen tearing on vertical monitors right now when scrolling and dragging windows on Fedora 36/Gnome 42/Xorg/nouveau. Glad to know this issue doesn't exist so I can stop paying attention to it I guess.

People were arrested at public events, not at a "funeral service".

It's not permissible to arrest someone on the grounds of "lack of respect" or "making a fool of yourself".

Arrests have been made under section 5 of the Public Order Act, which applies to behaviour deemed likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress, or under some other law (I'm unclear which) for behaviour "likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm" [1].

It's heavy-handed nonsense.

I used kapwing once, to cut out a s ction of a YouTube video which I downloaded through some other service and post it on Twitter. I was so positively suprised about the online video editor which allowed me to start editing the video while it was being uploaded, that I created a post on LinkedIn about it.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if YT has developed a mechanism to detect content that was downloaded through YT-DL and your company is a victim of an automated tool someone at YT has created to make sure those who steal videos from others will make less revenue.

E.g.:
- IGN pays for content or gets content exclusively
- someone else downloads the IGN video puts their own watermark over the IGN one and publishes the video as their own. IGN and the company ask
- YT to take those videos down which requires lots of people to waste their time for something that could be automated

It's actually fiat money that makes it possible to escalate conflicts to such a disastrous level in the first place.

If you're on a gold standard and your war chest starts to run out, you must either find a wealthy lender (hard), press the plunder of your citizenry (limited & bad for morale) or start thinking about a peace deal.

With fiat you can just fire up the printing presses, the later consequences be damned (should you even be aware of them). The first one to have their economy collapse loses, but in the meantime the slaughter can go on.

I think it’s a startupified abstraction for pain tolerance. If you have the pain tolerance to push through tedium and failure and work, that will check the boxes required to be considered “gritty”.
Better than X but still not perfect.

If you have neat monitors where the difference in pixel dpi is simply an integer multiple (1×, 2×, etc) it's really good, no issues at all.

If you need fractional diff in pixel dpi (e.g. you want one screen at 1× and the other at 1.5×) it can kind of work, but dodgy - the 1.5× screen will have its windows rendered at 2× then downscaled, so won't be pixel crisp (and the unnecessary 2× render can push limits on old integrated graphics cards)

If you need diff in text dpi, e.g. like setting Xrdb.dpi or gnome's Scaling Factor, then you're up shit creek (but with X11 to keep you company)

Right, he burned his other work.

So, private property was certainly there before Smith, as were individual economic decisions. But, there was a lot more price standardization and government planned trade.

So, is capitalism the same as a market economy? I feel like there are endless debates about capitalism and socialism but they are tribalized notions without clear definitions. Eg, are market regulations anticapitalist if they are government imposed or are they procapitalist if they support greater market health?

> my AGPL code

To repeat what I keep saying in these cases: there’s nothing special about the particular license you use, if it still has pretty much any condition. If Copilot is subject to copyright restrictions, MIT-licensed code is affected just as much as AGPL-licensed code: Copilot is still not meeting (and cannot meet) the condition of the license, attribution. Copilot depends entirely upon exemption from copyright restrictions under “fair use” exceptions.

But still, you’re quite welcome to issue takedown notices, though I don’t know if the regular process is actually appropriate (given that it’s a GitHub project rather than a project hosted on the GitHub platform). Their reaction might be interesting, though I expect they will just declare the notice invalid because of fair use exemptions and ignore it.
They’re trying to filter for young men, specifically.

When posting inclusive job roles, you limit language that is unnecessary to the role that one group may describe themself as but not another. “Coding ninja”, “gritty developer”, “rockstar”, etc. HR tells me that studies have shown that this kind of language biases applicants to men, which isn’t a huge surprise. I now make an effort to be truly honest in job postings about what is required and leave it at that.

Flexport wants young men to commit their lives to their product so they can burn them up and spit them out in a year or two.
Any outcome that doesn't discourage Russia from just trying again is obviously bad for the Ukrainian population in the long run.

Then I remembered that "grit" was a trendy pop-psychology concept a few years ago. I recalled it being used as a way to explain why some students do better in school than other students without resorting to ideas like "innate intelligence". The core of the idea was that you do better in school by working hard and not giving up.

That kind of grit doesn't really work as the adjective "gritty", though. So my impression of the company is that they were looking for trendy way to say "we want to hire developers who are good at their jobs", stumbled over a dead trend, and didn't run it past a copy-editor. A poor first impression, but an understandable one.
