This is awesome news. Excited the collaboration will have some nice side effects.
Richard Stallman has long argued for [1] and established [2] the same thing as a requirement for open source, and I don't think anyone would accuse him of being a shill for "business interests".

It's a (these days popular) rewriting of history to suggest that "big business interests" are the only reason open source definitions do not allow authors to restrict what a user can do with the software. Rather, from the start, this was seen as a fundamental freedom, the freedom to run the software as you wish rather than have to get permission from the copyright holder as to how you are to use it, where you are to run it, for what purposes.

It's, for instance, been part of the GNU license since before OSI even existed, and in those days I don't think anyone would argue GNU was a tool controlled by "business interests". In fact, the reason people now don't seem to like this requirement for "freedom to run" is precisely because it interferes with their "business interests", their desire to make money from open source. That may be a respectable desire -- but open source does not conflict with it becuase of "business interests", but the opposite, because it's ethos was from the start about the rights of users to have freedom to use software, not about "business interests" in profiting from it.

I just love the informal nature the docs take. I feel like I am being onboarded by a nice engineer. Consequently, this is how I write documentation internally. I like it more this way: it's a ton more fun to write than bland technical writing and it probably means the docs will actually get used and updated in the future.
You are describing a very small percentage of streamers. If you avoid people with over 100 concurrent viewers, you find thousands of streamers who aren't doing more than trying to build communities around a common hobby. And it was my impression that that's seen as a good thing.

You say that, but the only plausible non-substitutable use of bitcoin I've seen is sending money overseas or buying drugs. If its monetary value collapses, I don't see these other uses at all replacing it. It could just die, though more likely some marginal stuff will continue indefinitely trying to recapture lost glory.
I'm the poster of the original comment, and I don't work for Google, but your comment pretty much summed up perfectly my thoughts as well, and is a big reason why I'm a ChromeOS fan.
Any frame of reference can be chosen, and energy is conserved in each. So choose the reference frame in which you are initially at rest.
Yeah. Oh isolation for a few days? Look what the prison system did during COVID, suspending all rights rules and any pretense of inmates being humans because COVID safety trumped all. Try living in a space the size of an elevator with 2 people, a bunk bed, a desk, a chair, and a trash can, lockers, and a 18 inch window (the looks out onto gravel and razor wire) for a year. No fresh air, no being let outside. Like 36X24 inches of clear ground space. For exercise we filled trash bags with water as makeshift weights. Guards popped the bags if they saw them. Phone calls severely restricted ('phones are a vector for spread') while your mother is dying of cancer alone. If you came down with COVID, strict isolation with NONE of the constitutional rights protections applied (because COVID superseded). Showers only once a week at 3 am. Oh yeah, and if you officially get COVID, everyone else near you locked down in isolation too. Guess what? No one reported they were sick because if they got everyone put in indefinite isolation they were FUCKED and getting beat down when everyone got let out of isolation. And they definitely didn't make that rule to keep people from reporting, thereby keeping their 'reported' numbers looking good. American cruelty is the worst kind. No access to the courts (law library closed and you not allowed out of your cell).
Learnings from Chef and the Future of Open Source

They might steal the credit card one or two time. And even then the gains are less worth than the hassle from charge backs or possible legal action.
Yes, because a business spending 7 figures on a single contributor can definitely afford spending $6,000 on a card.
They use it to increase their reach, if you close TikTok, they'll still share on their main platforms; wich TikTok isn't

Do your research

Here for example:

When it is this mainstream, you can't say "oh it's because of TikTok", no, it's because of Western companies and celebrities promoting it, and using various mediums of communication; no legislation, no nothing
Guix is strange and unconventional in the same fundamental way as Nix, namely that each package is installed to its own, immutable, quasi-content-addressed prefix. This is because that design decision is what gives both package managers their superpowers.

If you are already a Scheme user, you may find Guix more accessible for you. If you are not a C++ programmer, you may find hacking on the package manager itself easier with Guix.

In terms of the CLI interface, Guix really shines here. Guix also has a more centralized approach to documentation, which you may find helpful.

Beyond the surface-level language differences, Guix has gone with different abstractions than Nix in some key areas, and has some features that Nix lacks. One big one is that GuixSD uses a different model for defining the options that can be used to configure the system. Guix's approach¹ is more explicit, and features some provenance tracking for configured options— it can draw a graph for you showing where each setting on your system came from.

Guix also takes a different approach to pinning package versions and defining repositories of source packages, and its conventions for doing those things are more settled than their equivalents and alternatives in the Nix world.

Guix also supports a feature called 'grafts'² that allows you to avoid rebuilding the world in case of things like mission-critical security updates to glibc. This is a really cool and useful feature!

I'm sure there are other things that more serious Guix users can better highlight than this dilettante. :)

The Guix blog is really excellent! I strongly recommend it for getting a sense of what problems Guix tries to solve and how it sometimes approaches them differently than Nix does.

It probably has a nice React front end and Stripe for payment processing, so that would put it in the startup bucket :)
Depends if the laptop manufacturer wants to make promises like "Battery life: 20 hours of 1080p video streaming"

Most laptops that achieve that require the hardware, OS and browser working together. I've seen laptops that, when running Linux, struggle to last through an hour-long video call.
Only 48GB of RAM, no NVLink - sounds like a partial downgrade from A6000. Not very enticing to be honest.
In my eyes, the only thing justifiable to censor in all of life is "think of the children" arguments. They are always baseless calls to emotion.

A kid watches gambling, what's the harm? They're gambling in school, it's a tail as old as time. Magic cards, pokémon cards, pogs, marbles. They all have aspects of gambling.
I think that makes sense though—partnering with companies like Framework and HP to get the hardware right while refocusing on the software experiencing in-house doesn't mean they don't believe in the market fit for the Pixelbook or the technologies that powered it, it just means that there was enough interest externally that Google doesn't need to take on the hardware complexity/supply chain risk/etc. Partnering with other companies that are already experts in that seems better then trying to get everything right themselves from scratch

(Disclaimer: I have not been following the Pixelbook news or really even considered the device before today, but people on this forum seem to like it)

No, they are in-process and able to access the same memory, although probably put behind a communication layer.

I think you’re missing the point here. It’s a flame war if and only if there are two perspectives and it comes down to a matter of choice (e.g Vim vs EMacs). The majority of the commenters here are pointing out to the fact that some Western academics either deliberately or ignorantly mistranslate Sanskrit and to a person who has no background in this stuff often form an incorrect or incomplete picture which then leads to a positive/negative bias in their minds.
Something is deeply wrong with her father!!!

Probably my least favorite consumer experience leans toward purchasing cars. Ironically I also LOVE cars. Hate buying them though
I'm one of those "discriminated" against here. I live in kentucky, work for a FAANG company.

My employer pays me less because of that, and you know what? I'm okay with that. My discretionary income after housing and basic living expenses are removed is way higher than that of someone in a HCOL area.

I have a 3300 sqft house that was built in the last 10 years and a quarter acre of land. That costs me $1400/month. If I wanted a comparable standard of living in SF, the wage gap between here and there would need to be many thousands more that it really is.

So pay me 20-25% less, it makes me more employable and I have a better standard of living than you do.
I think we're still talking past each other. In both of your comments, you seem focused on the particular site with the 2FA. I'm suggesting that that vector is irrelevant.

I'm not concerned about someone hacking this site with the 2FA tripwire, but instead about leaking password's correctness could impact usage of that password on other sites that use the same username/password and do not have 2FA.

Imagine if I go to Amazon and put in jabbany@email.com / hunter2 and then come up against a 2FA prompt instead of a password error prompt. Okay. I have a signal that suggests that hunter2 is, in fact, your password. I bail immediately. No point in randomly trying to guess a 2FA auth code.

Now I go to Walmart.com and put in jabbany@email.com / hunter2, and it works -- because there's no 2FA on Walmart.com and you re-used the password!

In this scenario, 2FA doesn't actually stop the hacker from compromising your accounts! It only stops this account with 2FA -- in that sense, you are 100% correct! -- but perhaps only temporarily, because they may be able to compromise other accounts that would allow them to eventually reset your 2FA tokens and get through.

If Amazon were to tell me "hey, someone failed the 2FA auth attempt, you should you change your password," then that's one thing. But we both know most sites don't do that.
Have you ever read the thing! Plenty of doom to go around.
I could imagine the switch being very difficult at an existing company, but if a startup implemented cloud dev environments from day one, it would be baked into their DNA. When I worked as a contractor, the biggest when starting a new client was getting the dev environment set up. Cloning the repo, installing packages, pulling docker images, modifying host files, etc. If all that already existed in the cloud and I just needed credentials to log in and I could start contributing in minutes instead of hours or days (even weeks if you have to ship a laptop), that would open up possibilities for bringing on devs for shorter engagements. You could have a dev spin up a cloud environment for a single ticket, giving them access to a single feature branch or even a single file or module...write the code and tests without having to invest time in environment setup
Yeah, I think it might actually be a good thing to have some of the copyright questions settled one way or the other.
You can actually get Hello World down to 1.5K in MSVC with the right compiler switches.

First the code to say hello:

const char \*const str = "Hello World!\n";
HANDLE standardOutput = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
WriteFile(standardOutput, str, strlen(str), NULL, NULL);

Then the compiler switches:

/merge:.rdata=.text cuts out an entire section 0.5K
/nocoffgrpinfo cuts out about 256 bytes from your .text section
/emittoolversioninfo:no is supposed to omit the RICH header, but doesn't seem to work anymore.
/stub:stub.bin will let you replace the default DOS EXE stub with something smaller. Using a 64 byte file will get the EXE header and PE header to fit in the first 512 bytes (when combined with merging the .rdata and .text sections)

Set "Entry Point" to main. This completely bypasses the C standard library and CRT, none of that gets initialized or called.

Then you end up with an EXE containing 3 sections: The EXE header (512 bytes), the .text section (512 bytes, but only 141 bytes actually used in there), and the .idata section (512 bytes, for importing DLLs, only 41 bytes actually used)
0.1 + 0.2 - 0.3 = 0

on my HP Prime calculator, in Python

0.1 + 0.2 - 0.3 = 5.551115123125783e-17

It's like talking to the wind but I think small problems like this cause people to decide programming is not for them.

It's only censorship in the sense that all rules are "censorship" which IMO removes the value of having a distinct word.

It's censorship in the sense that things are censored, i.e., prevented from being shown or communicated, which is the definition of the word "censorship". Putting a black bar over someone's genitals or bleeping profanity is also censorship. It's just not government censorship, and therefore has no relation to freedom of speech.
Is This the Least Cringe Option to Get People to Your Party?
Nope.

I'm in my 40s, and have held jobs as a Disneyland stage performer, nonprofit manager, bar manager, US Army officer commanding tanks, doing machine learning development for a hedge fund, ground processing algorithms for spy satellite collections, CI/CD orchestration services for a platform provider serving hundreds of geointelligence developer groups, and have spent most of the past decade working the infrastructure layer for various Air Force software factories, currently being employed by a vendor of Kubernetes cluster management software.

I've got degrees in biology, philosophy, applied mathematics, finance, public policy, computer science, and information security.

I've competed at various levels in cross-country running, track and field, volleyball, basketball, soccer, have through-hiked roughly a quarter of the Pacific Crest Trail, have open-water swam over 5k, and currently lift weights 6 days a week.

This is just me. I absolutely love to learn, to be exposed to things I've never done before, to show rapid improvement in something. As soon as I get too specialized and familiar, I get bored. I'm sure I just threw up a bunch of red flags to HR and engineering manager types concerned that if they hire me, I'll just leave, but the reality is over half the people they hire are going to leave in the next year anyway. Maybe I'm earning a bit less than someone who specialized in some obscure lucrative sub-field of software development that happened to take off in the past decade, but I'm still earning more than 95% of all Americans, more than I ever reasonably expected given my family background, I'm healthy and attractive, have a beautiful wife in a loving, fulfilling marriage, get to live in a time of peace and prosperity in which I can work from home at whatever hours I please, it's sunny and warm nearly every day. I'm as blessed as a person has ever been.

On top of that, I know a ton, have a passing familiarity with nearly any topic, have met and talked to people from every imaginable walk of life. I've got a broad perspective that keeps me out of the pits of despair and solipsism you see people falling into when their impression of the world outside of their tiny little corner of specialization comes entirely from news headlines. Having tried so many things and not being the absolute best at them, seeing the challenges they present and that the people doing them do, in fact, know what they're doing, I don't have the expert scope creep you see from so many engineers who believe everyone else doing anything else is stupid and all problems would be solved if we just put engineers in charge of everything.

Hell no, I don't regret it.
First of all I'm very much on board with ideas behind framework laptop. Thanks for your work :-)

Is there any roadmap for wider distribution in Europe? Especially eastern part.

“Community-Driven” NFT Project Failed. Here's Why
There are plenty of websites that focus on left-wing talking points that selectively misrepresent actual science. Do you want to ban those too? If so then public health agencies like the NIH and CDC will be the first to lose their bank accounts, because they've repeatedly outright lied about scientific issues (masks, herd immunity, etc) and then even admitted doing so in public. It would be amusing to have a government department get de-platformed for spreading left wing anti-science misinformation, wouldn't it? Or maybe not that amusing actually.

Re: climate. Scientists are in fact speaking out against the ever more unhinged rhetoric around climate. Here's Zeke Hausfather, a well known climatologist - who bizarrely and very problematically given this story is a climate research lead at Stripe - saying that even he is now being called a "climate denier":

https://twitter.com/hausfath/status/1533875297220587520

That's a guy who's very much done his part to stoke those sorts of claims! Yet he now argues that "Doomerism is a disease, and a self-fulfilling prophesy"! Go outside the field and you can find lots of scientists and people with scientific training who disagree that there's much urgency at all, here's just one example:

https://clintel.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/WCD-version-0...

The point is, actual science is a methodology, not a set of people in a set of institutions. The Daily Sceptic has consistently defended this view against people like henearkr above, who is literally arguing that being pro-science means blindly agreeing with whatever someone (him) has declared is the "scientific consensus". It's the opposite of science to believe this. It's pseudo-scientific authoritarianism of the sort that enabled Lysenko and worse.
SBF is not the horse, and he has a vested interest in ensuring that the market believes that the market is not built on sand.

Bitfinex and Tether have a history of fraud, of losing money, for Tether to be backed today would mean Bitfinex/Tether did a complete 180 and went legit after years of bad dealings. Even if you believe they did a 180, how did they rectify the mess from before they went legit? How did tether become solvent?

Well, the thing is, because of COVID and some other factors, we figured it was better just to give it to the student and tell them if they break it, then its their problem. Admittedly, a bit mercenary, but we are a community college and students should lean to be careful. Now, we'll help of course in odd circumstances and we did purchase extended warranties.

Strangely, its easier to get money for purchases than have a repair budget, but that US government funding for you.
Streaming services also resent "hashtag sponsored hashtag content" in general. They're advertising-supported platforms, so hosting sponsored content is advertising money that's going directly to the streamer rather than though their system where they get a cut. But they've accidentally ended up in a situation where their own ad rates are so bad that their creators couldn't survive without effectively promoting their own competitors, so there's no way for them to forbid it without destroying their own business model. Thus, they're likely to jump on any excuse to ban particular kinds of sponsored content whenever they arise.
NFTs All The Way Down...
Ya you're right, I always seem to go to the negative instead of recognizing opportunity. Companies that set these backwards-looking policies should be aware that someone else can always come along and eat their lunch. I'm always amazed that they think they can just get away with it without consequence!

And treat the creators equally, be it IRL or avatar users... Or partners or not... I really expect Twitch to be lot more proactive. Like for example they should have instantly shutdown streamers showing copyrighted tv series...

Jack Handey was a ficticious humorous philosopher from Saturday Night Live. But you're also right.
Also, reading back on that, I think the hardest part would be "PyPI dependencies" of MyPy, and "CRAN dependencies of R scripts like dplyr". These have what I call the "rewriting upstream" problem.

Though maybe a hybrid approach can work? Or does that defeat the purpose? I think a problem with these kinds of systems is that they can be "all or nothing". If you're halfway in, and halfway out, you don't get any benefits.
I had a discussion about it with the school librarian.

But I just went to their online catalogue to confirm if that's still the case - of all the authors mentioned, I could only find a single copy of a Jordan Peterson book in a psychology library at a satellite campus. Interestingly, they have a dozen books about Jordan Peterson (both pro and anti, interestingly enough).

Although it's worth pointing out that the article only considered external acts as "banning". Actions of librarians to maintain their collections are not considered censorship and are not publicly tracked anyway.
