Yeah. They want a magnificent dystopia, where everything will be digitalized and you will be tracked, micro-chiped, no privacy, own nothing, only rented and be a happy 'user'.
During the French revolution, they changed the calendar to be "more scientific". Worked about as well as can be imagined.
At least from my perspective your 3.5 year stint shows that you can stay for a while at one company, so personally I would probably not view your background as one of a "job hopper."
Does anyone have experience doing this purely with FFMPEG?
Trying to read this on Android (in Materialistic) was fascinating, each line containing a Hebrew (?) word caused some of the words around it to switch places, but the words themselves are fine??

Well, that depends on if the project accepts pull requests, and whether they have something like a contributor licensing agreement in place.
Yeah some simplification is required to condense 300(0) years of research into a digestible article but is any of it misleadingly incorrect?
I have done it, it increased my business volume and when I stopped it decreased my business volume.

I stopped because I wanted to focus on recurring services and filled my schedule with these.

Most challenges with productified services come from risk management.
The more bespoke the work is, the more risk you have, and the more risk you have the more risk mitigation tactics you must apply.

I suggest that you read a lot on preventing scope screep and managing time estimates before diving in.
Jonathan Stark is a good start on that, he has free and paid materials available.

More likely they hacked their YAML parser to treat on as a string.

At least that's what Travis CI folks did:

> To a good first approximation, people simply don't change their minds about anything that matters.

I love the model of adversarial collaboration, and I don't dispute the extremely strong influence of social bonds on knowledge formation, but Kahneman is just wrong about this. I know he's wrong because I change my mind relatively frequently, about things of at least some consequence.

For a recent example, I was fairly sure that at the beginning of the pandemic, in the US, widespread, cheap testing would enable us to drive COVID cases near zero, and I wasn't shy about telling everyone I met. Obviously, I was wrong, for a variety of reasons - so I updated.

That intimate experience with uncertainty and updating my own beliefs makes me wonder about Kahneman's research methods. It makes me doubt whether this question is even tractable or whether people are even legible enough to researchers to draw conclusions about this.

Interestingly (and disarmingly) Khaneman is very forthright about the role his own experiences have played in convincing him that people in general don't change their minds. He writes:

> I was also impressed by the fact that Anne and I didn't change our minds. I had read Kuhn and Lakatos about the robustness of paradigms, but I didn't expect that minor theories would also be impervious to evidence.

also:

> I will now share a personal experience of belief perseverance that I cannot shake ... However, it turns out that I only changed my mind about the evidence. My view of how the mind works didn't change at all. The evidence is gone, but the beliefs are still standing. Indeed, I cannot think of a single important opinion that I have changed as a result of losing my faith in the studies of behavioral priming, although they seemed quite important to me at the time.

I think the most likely explanation for this is 1) social desirability bias has a dramatic influence on what information people make accessible about their cognition and 2) Kahneman is unusually stubborn, and his generalization from his own personality to all humankind is a manifestation of the typical mind fallacy.

Probably the only relevant metric.
This is from Chromium's perspective, yes, but Chromium complies with the Google style guide. I disagree with your characterization that "a very restrictive subset of features" are allowed, though. What's banned is relatively limited, IMO: http://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html
Since you are confused at what I'm getting at, I'll explain.

You seem to think "What if someone feels so strongly about a woman's right to choose they are willing to see the world burn?" is a reasonable way to frame the issue.

So then I presented the same framing scenario involving nudity and you instinctively refused to accept the framing writing "Apple won't do it because it believes Russia is bluffing."

Your framing did not in any way involve what climate change advocates "believe" about their opponents. Considerations of bluffing were not part of your evaluation of choices available to climate change advocates.

When someone presents a hypothetical scenario in a wacky, no relation to the real world matter, sometimes the reasonable thing is to reject the hypothetical. As you just did, when you wrote "Apple won't do it because it believes Russia is bluffing".

There's also the fact that your framing requires us to label Apple employees as fanatics rather than the guy who is planning to nuke the planet unless Apple employees dance around naked, which is very weird.
Complaining about not getting paid always sounds like the equivalent donating to a charity or volunteering in a soup kitchen and then complain you didn’t get your money back or paid for your time in the soup kitchen. If you’re writing OSS, considerate a donation of your time.

Why is payment required? If payment is a major motive then don’t use an OSS license. If you’re doing it because, in general, you support OSS as an ideology then be realistic and understand that compensation for your time equivalent to a corporate swe job isn’t likely, and you’re almost definitely never going to be compensated commensurate with the popularity of work that hits mainstream. If you find yourself complaining about how much time it takes to maintain and how demanding users can be, walk away in the satisfaction you’ve created something worthwhile and other people will continue the work if enough feel the same way.
I came to this because I was involved in a very very minor way with FreeGEM and the project to resurrect PC GEM after Caldera made it GPL.

There was the idea to somehow port TOS to x86, but as we discussed it, the issues became clear. A native ST os on x86 couldn't run ST apps, because they're 680x0 code. And it won't run PC apps either, as they target PC OSes, not TOS/GEM.

Even if it's doable, it's a vast amount of work and there's no point. You still need emulation.

This is also why Apple ended up buying NeXT and switching OSes. Remember, Apple already had a UNIX: it had A/UX. But A/UX is a native 68030 Unix, with integrated classic MacOS. If Apple ported the underlying Unix to PowerPC, the embedded MacOS part that provided the UI wouldn't work, and MacOS apps wouldn't work. Without that, there's no point.

So Apple built a 68k emulator and ported the OS to the emulator. Then it speed-tweaked some bits. It worked and it delivered fast RISC Macs for a decade or more, which could still run old 680x0 Mac apps, but also allowed for new PowerPC apps to be delivered.

It was a good strategy, but it left them in a dead end. Copland failed, and so that's why NeXT, which was an excellent deal.

Well, honestly, we're not going to see any major new ST/TOS apps in 202x. It is not going to happen.

But there is this rather neat all-FOSS OS, or even pair of OSes: EmuTOS and FreeMINT. And they have apps, and programming languages, and are still vaguely usable.

So my thinking was: is there any way to glue together some existing code that enables them to run, providing an emulated 680x0 environment, on this cheap readily-available ARM hardware, without there being a whole other OS underneath?
This reminds me of that wojack meme with the normal distribution.

There are certainly people on the left side of the curve who just can't operate at a senior level. Nothing wrong with that, most projects need a solid mid-level or two who can chug through well-scoped tickets. They might have a lot of short stints on their resume.

But on the right side of the curve are the really great engineers who recognize a situation as bad pretty quickly, and are able to easily get another role.

You can't the difference between these two based on the resume, which is why I try to talk to all of them if I can.
Most people see this as some sort of tax to provide better support, which should not be the case. We need better tools at reasonable and transparent pricing. Hope we succeed in that mission.
The shocking thing with some of these articles is somehow the author asked “why do people use radians” and ended up with an answer of “it was an arbitrary decision and the world would be better of not using it”.

I feel a bit of humility would have helped the author and perhaps they would have considered the possibility that they didn’t think of the problem deep enough rather than hastily write a blog post about it.

It speaks to the hubris and the superficiality of thinking for some authors.
There are obviously many things happening simultaneously in the international economy that can contribute to this, but this is in line with what you'd expect from an international economics perspective. When the interest paid on a currency's deposits increases (e.g. interest rates in the US rise), that country's currency will appreciate against foreign currencies (GBP, EUR, CHF, etc.). Similarly it will depreciate if interest rates fall (demand for dollars falls if the return on dollars is falling).
> But if we have an economic system that can’t handle maximum convenience of a free worldwide digital library, it’s worth considering systems that would allow for that.

I honestly cannot think of a more trivial reason to tinker with the system of incentives that undergirds the global economy.

Anyway, the free worldwide digital library already exists at library dot lol.
China specifically also directly sets the rate bands that are allowed.

They’ve specifically weakened their currency to juice their economy (and they are lowering rates).

I love reading comments. You never know when someone will enlighten you with a different perspective on something you've thought you understood well forever. As well as the joy of having people who understand things that I do not, explain them to me in a casual way. The chance of having someone share their joy is much higher than in more formal writing contexts.

I write comments not for the ages, or for the engagement, I want to share my perspective in the hopes that it will give others the same joy I've received from their comments.

How many published books actually get widely read? I mean, if you're uncomfortable throwing your words out on the net, then what forum is worthy of your work? Why publish anything if it won't be forced into the minds of every schoolchild by government backed indoctrination systems?

If you think of yourself as a writer, if you think written communication is important, even; what better opportunity to practice the craft? Would you respect a musician who never took up their instrument unless there was a large attentive audience? Or is it still worthy to play the trombone out on the back lot for no one but yourself and the cows?
Some other things to consider. A working memory of 7 is a median number for the population. Some folks will have a greater working memory (some outliers are in the 80+ range). Some folks will have a smaller working memory.

Specifically, someone with ADHD (a topic close to my heart), the size of working memory is typically around 3 items. Related, long term memory is also a bit more chaotic for those with ADHD; when you can only have three linked concepts at a time in working memory, it's going to be encoded with fewer overall links data.

That all is to say, if you're building a tool to help people remember things, don't just build it with the median in mind.

The C/C++ ecosystem has really been dragging down the popular expectation of what debugging (and at what level) is possible. They are uniquely bad in breaking programmers' ability to understand what their programs do, with debugging being an essential part of that.

JVMs move heaven and Earth to make optimization not observable and support the JVMTI, upon which debuggers are built. They are required to materialize a bytecode-level view of execution state upon demand, just as CPUs are required to materialize a machine-level view of execution state. As a result, any source debugger written against what is available at the bytecode level will work without needing to see through the abstractions.

You can get the source for that command line tool here [1]. It's a single file C program that just uses stdio.h and stdlib.h and inputs from stdin and outputs to stdout, so should be easy to get working on anything that has a C compiler and a terminal with a simple "cc chord.c".

There's a little bit of documentation in this comment from a couple years ago [2]. There's a source link in that comment too, but that is to an older version. I added a couple more chord types later so use [1] instead.

Note: I'm not sure I got all the chord types quite right, so be sure to look at the notes it says are in the chord you asked for to make sure it got the right notes.

Check out the whole post that [2] was a comment on. There were several other people who also commented sharing guitar or music tools they had developed.

Here's a better question: Should the store be break-even?

If the store is "losing money" then the community's taxes are collectively paying some part of the community's food costs. That sounds like a good thing! You still have personal choice, and your money still means something, but the town is collectively paying for more equal access to food and other essential goods, in a very direct way.
>There is loads of difference between remembering the words of a foreign language and fluently speaking it.

And alternatively put, there's a difference between learning to read, and learning to speak. Yet both would boil down to primarily rote memorization, as languages tend to do.

Language is not a good example to prove your point on.
You can probably count on one hand the number of people who care where a specific Cessna 172 is at any given point in time. What's contradictory about that?
This comment is so confusing. You first seemed to take offense at the term "cryptocrap" but then here call crypto "pointless/destructive." Facebook is obviously mostly garbage these days (IMO) however I think it's hard to argue that it provides no utility to people. My family members are spread out across four different countries and mostly stay connected via Facebook. I'd argue that Facebook provides more utility to people than crypto at this point. That says a lot more about crypto than it does about Facebook.
Right but which freedom does that restrict that's not in the spirit of the gpl?

I.e. the gpl prohibits you not sharing code if you distribute the binary. What is the philosophical underpinning of "sharing binary" not being a restriction but "ethernet" being a restriction.

The evil thing is not similar because you are discriminating against a field of endevour (similar to licenses that say educational use only, non-commercial only or non-military only). It seems to be a very different type of restriction.

If storing information and creating associations between bits of it were 'learning', then databases would be very smart indeed.

No, learning is not 'storing pieces of information in long-term memory and recalling them'. It's not the ability to recall information. At the very least, learning is information+behavior change+understanding+values and attitudes associated with the information. It's much more complex than memorization and recall.
You are describing "attractiveness" as a quality that reveals itself over time, like wisdom, honesty, friendliness, etc.

Everyone else is using 'attractive' here to mean "attractive according to the beauty standards of the dominant culture in which I live".

Open source advocates love to point to Red Hat as a shining example of how software development around open source can lead to a successful business model. Unfortunately, it is an outlier instead of proof it works for the majority (or even a significant minority). If simply releasing your source to the public lead to monetary success (or even sustainability) then there would be hundreds or thousands of other 'Red Hat examples' out there.
Do you mean you believe it doesn't comply with the Free Software Definition and/or Open Source Definition, or that you believe it does but that it's nonfree anyway (or in other words, that you disagree with those definitions)?

My lens is CoPilot makes those already writing code more effective (i.e., there's less need for more who can write code).

That said, and to your point, with CoPilot - which is still early days - we don't need to teach people to write code, we need them to express ideas in a way that CoPilot (or similar) can understand and convert into code. Which might be something that that original question answers.
Almost anything else would have been safer.

I've heard rumours about Kwarteng being involved with Hedge Funds that have now made a fortune by shorting the pound and to be honest, that makes more sense than any other explanation.
I can see why it would be tempting.

All I want is to know when and where my next meeting is, without going back to my desk.

If I accept a company phone, I have to let everyone in the company have the number, and they might start calling me.

And it'll probably be some shitty $50 Android phone - a company phone isn't some huge perk or status symbol, like it might have been in 1995.

It'd be tempting to just type the password in on my personal phone.
All of these things you mention are real trends, but they are not tied to eSIM.

1. eSIM standard supports transferring of eSIM profile from one phone to another. physical SIMs can be tied to specific IMEIs (and it use to be VERY common)
2. You can use eSIMS on unlocked phones.
3. Burner phones can still exist! Nothing prevents a phone company or MVNO from offering eSIMs the same way they did SIMs before (obviously local law might force you to provide ID, but this has been the case with SIMs as well in various countries)
Oh, i guess that makes sense. Its weird how they tie GPL into it, because unless they accepted third party contributions the story would be exactly the same with a bsd license.
Yes, I know how Kerberos works. The TGT is not bound to anything though, it can be stolen and reused elsewhere. And in the default setting, an attacker doesn't need to rely on Kerberos as an authentication mechanism, since NTLMv2 support is widely available. It's available by default.

Nevertheless, did GP mean Kerberos tickets by "domain credentials"? How does Kerberos prevent the use of password managers? I'm confused.
it's not about security or sanity, it's because people run containers whose UIDs do not match the host system, and they write to the host system by mounting volumes for the container to use.

the result is root or another user inside the container can write root-owned files because they have the same UID as root on the container host.

my employer runs an orchestrator and destroys each runner VM after a single job so this only bites the user who causes it, and not anyone else.

We are building a dev tool for database development workflow, which is not a big market. We are also based in Shanghai, thus unlike valley-based shops, we don't have many viable ways to engage (like private introduction, offline meetup).
