What is "your data".

Is it (a) "Your Content", (b) all the data that Github gets from hosting "Your Content" or (c) both.

With respect to people who upload data to Github, under the Github Terms of Service,^1 specifically the license that these people grant to Github, there is almost nothing that Github cannot do with "Your Content".^2^3

Anything that falls under "applications, software, products and services" is fair game. If the product is [whatever], they have granted Github a license to use their content for it. If the service is [whatever], they have granted Github a license to use their content for it. No one knows what products or services Microsoft may choose to pursue through Github in the future.

1. https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-terms-o...

2. The one potential prohibition is the sale of "Your Content." But, as in the case of Facebook, it would make little sense to sell user generated content. It is the company's largest asset. Of course, nothing prohibits Github from giving away or otherwise transferring Your Content to a third party, not as part of a sale. As long as this activity is part of "applications, software, products or services" offered by Github, it is permitted. As above, that could be anything, and we have no way to predict what Microsoft may choose to do in the future.

3. However Github is explicitly permitted to transfer "Your Content" to "partners" such as

Internet Archive
Software Heritage
The Long Now
piql
Stanford University
Bodleian Libraries
GH Torrent
GH Archive
Microsoft Research
Bibliotheca-Alexandrina

We have no idea what if any terms Github requires of its partners with respect to "Your Content".

You may have no direct relationship with those partners and thus no means of limiting what they can do with "Your Content".

To be truthful, some of those partners may have fewer commercial incentives than Microsoft, hence the risk of objectionable uses may be lower. But then we are left wondering why Microsoft needs to be an intermediary between the content owners and the "partners" who can store Your Content for future generations, at no cost to you, e.g., Internet Archive.

No doubt, by acting as an (unnecessary) intermediary, sitting in between "Your Content" and anyone who wishes to access it, Microsoft is collecting and generating vast amounts of data that fall outside of "Your Content". Obviously, this data is outside of your control. Do you "own" it.
That doesn't appear to be the issue here, though. The users of the site don't find each other completely repugnant. The ISPs might, but repugnance has historically not been a justification for de-peering in the past (at least in the USA).
You can see your karma next to your name in the top bar when logged in. Or on your profile.
> but it goes to show Apple products no longer simply sell themselves without intrusive ads.

Is that ad really more intrusive than all the TV ads Apple has run over the years?
Such hints can be unreliable at best and misleading at worst. There is nothing to guarantee that the file extension and the Content-Type header will agree, nor is there anything to guarantee that the file name in the URL will match the download file name in the Content-Disposition header.
This is a good point! Jzazbz is a good example of the (somewhat rare) application of perceptual response functions in high dynamic range. I’d be curious to hear what reasons you have to use Jzazbz. The color space seems best at scenarios where you need to compute HDR color differences. Most people don’t need that, but some advanced users like you do. Worth noting in this context that Jzazbz is non-linear, and even though it’s HDR, it still requires conversion to a linear space in order to blend colors physically.

I want to elaborate just slightly on what I meant. In CG, like in real photography, the photographer almost always sets some combination of their exposure, aperture size, and/or white balance values manually, regardless of how well they’re controlling inputs and color spaces. As a simple example, I can always dim the lights by a factor of 2 power, and also either expose for twice as long, or open my shutter by one f-stop. When I dim lights by half and expose by double, then nothing about the image changes. Even if you know the physical luminosity of your lights, the overall process (usually) still cancels scale factors and at the end reduces to an arbitrary scaling that essentially sets the output white and output black to the brightest and darkest colors I want to show, respectively.

With real film, there are additional arbitrary scaling values like the film development process, and lighting conditions when viewing. With digital, the display’s scaling is frequently unknown, and thus arbitrary; you might use 1k nits for your daylight diffuse, but that’s not what your monitor actually shows you.

There are legit use-cases for wanting absolute physical values in the intermediate stages, and using a “linear” color space for blending is, in a way, emulating exactly that desire but still with an arbitrary scale because the input brightness and/or output brightness are being tuned by hand.
Definitely a key factor since most psychiatrists reserve ECT for severe depression.
Exactly, I think the key here is that OP was put off by it (I would be too). That's a blessing kn disguise, follow your gut.
Could you elaborate on how you use the tool for the two purposes you mentioned?
I don't think people actually do that though. Who'd do that? Who would you even be lying to, yourself?
This article hits on some very good points.

I'd like to add another from the perspective of the hiring manager, now that I've had a few years experience in that role.

It's been my experience that people generally produce their best work after the first year. It takes a while to get to know any business: what its strengths and weaknesses are, and it's only with that understanding that someone can identify areas to make meaningful contributions.

If someone's tenure is consistently around their one year mark, it's unlikely that they've really ever expressed their full potential in a professional setting. They leave before things get really good.

Hiring is an investment - less what the candidate can do today, but what they can contribute over a more substantial period, given the right encouragement.
I am also confused by this comparison. Yes, Ketamine might cause dissociation… but that’s not a side effect, that’s a catalyst for the actual expected psychological effect.

It’s like saying that a side effect of drinking alcohol is feeling drunk.
I've wanted us to do a cron-thing for years, ever since I started, but because I hate cron. :)
You're the one attaching moral judgements to it. Speaking of projecting.

We're just saying that email is either necessary or a massive increase in convenience for engaging in a wide array of common digital interactions, including some that are extremely hard to get away from (utilities, banks, etc), and others that are part of what makes life worth living, rather than just subsistence survival (streaming services, online games, other luxuries).

Doing without something that's technically possible to avoid, but wastes a whole lot of your time and mental energy, and does not materially harm you in any way, does not make you a better person. Nor does it make you a worse person. It's something that's a personal choice.

Smugly presenting yourself as somehow better than us because you do without such things does make you a worse person.
How do they control for timing in memory accesses, which can vary greatly depending on caching layers etc.
I haven't tried this myself but would it be possible with ssh port forwarding? Here is someone who seems to have done it:

For a similar project, someone put together a spec for a basic clone of Medium split into a frontend design and backend API, and now has over 100 different components where you can pair any frontend with any backend (plus a few fullstack implementations).

Not as performance-focused with benchmarks, but a good point of comparison for various languages and frameworks implementing common behavior.
I think this is the wrong take. I think this is more about the other person's ego, not OP. There are many ways to move things forward, it's not like this potential person has some key to the kingdom that other potential partners dont.
For serious analysis of "Product Market Fit", you are better off searching google scholar than reading this article.
I really don't mean to be obnoxious, but those are some bold statements. Can you back them up with evidence?
It seems like if you really wanted control, you would try to go for these low level layers.
I don't mean this snarkily: I'm more surprised there is evidence people's job searches were positively affected by connecting on LinkedIn. From what I've seen it has a lot of "feel good" stuff, but it not really a place for networking to get a job, unless it's through cold-messaging from recruiters.
the fact that it is banned in some countries like danemark that you know gets the top spot in worldwide healthcare. but you can trust a company that had to pay billions for lying instead.
Can Microsoft sue for something like this? Ethically I don’t think they should. But, can they?
coding, specially for open-source projects does not even gets close on how much cognition you have to burn vs. watching TikTok…

i would have someone coding with me excited by seeking knowledge rather than trying to reach level 75 on Github…

not even mentioning what is gamification? are levels based on dark patterns on video-games, created with the intention of making players waste more time or get more addicted?

and then what is the end point of having someone full of badges and trophies on their profile?
to compare oneself with others and feel bad? have benefits over others that a hierarchical system has?

append: i am not typing levels were created specifically for a dark-pattern introduction but nowadays, even if the game is not free, these practices are done to make players addicted.
and i can not feel how someone really interested into get better at coding, would care
From what I could tell by looking at ripgrep's github page, it works exactly the same as grep. So it is not real-time as I type, search.
Martin thanks for jumping in, the thing I'd love most is when I'm logged in and go to github.com, just take me to my repository list. I'd pay money for that.
For now, I’d argue they should be regulated by the people working on them. OP’s complaint should be ignored.

And yes, hammers are regulated by non-government adults to the degree that people cannot figure out how to handle the consequences of using them.
Coming Home to Vim (2010)
I liked HN much more before I knew karma existed. Seriously first 6m on here didn't know about it. Now I know everything seems tainted.
Makes perfect sense, Pi4 has a GPU after all and runs all the modern "AI" software.
I was under the impression that de-worming treatments (which any dog owner should be giving to their dog) made this kind of composting impossible. Being able to compost the paltry amount of waste my small dog produces is not worth the risk of him getting heartworm, ticks, or worse.

Of course, if there is a way to do this with a dog on a de-worming treatment, I'd be more than happy to give it a try.
As much as I dislike it personally, WordPress’s admin portal and plugins like ACF (among others) are simply unbeatable when the end result is handing the keys over a client, both due to power and familiarity.

I wonder if that will change given enough time. I certainly hope so, but I would’ve guessed that it would’ve changed already, but here we are in 2022…
The US must not be a low-trust society. You should try to live in an actual low trust society (where people can't trust institutions and instead revert to their family or clan). The US is not like that, people seem to trust other people they have never seen before because they trust things like justice or the US army or google or apple.

Other than that, it seems that things are progressing as normal. Since the times of the Enlightenment, there was this oxymoron of idealizing individual empowerment, while advocating that humans are social animals that must act collectively. Which is it? Well with today's technology and abundance people are drifting deliberately and decisively towards more individualism. Perhaps it is about ime to stop describing these things as 'problems' and realize that they are the new reality. Our politics worldwide is quite ancient , and not prepared for the next phase of individual empowerment. The places of the world that are stuck in collectivist mindsets are awfully deluded like Russia, or rigidly antiprogressive, like China.
The more time people spend passively consuming entertainment, the less time they spend doing everything else, including socializing.

Most everyone I know just sits on their phones, computers, or TVs a good portion of the day. All boredom is banished, all gaps are filled. The threshold for participation and collaboration is higher, because why risk boredom when you have guaranteed-minimum-satisfaction available.
Depends on what your work is. There’s a lot of stuff you can ship on a short timescale with tons of “impact”. You can’t directly see the results of long-term plans, but you can definitely lay the groundwork and watch people execute on it from outside the company.
Look for Thermo-Tec 13575 or similar part # at your local auto parts store. It will likely work better than glass cloth tape for that purpose.
In the ten years that I've been in this industry, my application was rejected on grounds of tenure once - by GitLab.

> If you want the people that you hire to stay, do it by building a great workplace and paying people well – not by finding staff who are too timid to leave bad situations.

This is an important point. I quit one project after eight months and at least two people out of my 11-person team referred to this decision as a "luxury available to those who have savings".

Plenty of people paint themselves into a corner like that.
John Carmack founded id Software in 1991 and stayed until 2013. Jeff Dean joined Google in 1999 and is still there. These are not the kind of people we talk about when one asks "Is two year too short to be a tenure?"
I give this a “10” on the UI usability scorecard.
Swatting is not free speech. Posting the address of someone (knowing that there's a non-zero chance some idiot might use it in a swatting) is generally free speech, because negligent or reckless speech is usually protected.

It's irresponsible, but it's generally protected.
Until dotcom, SF was just a bedroom community for the valley, plus a few legacy operations like the stock exchange, banking, and lawyering. The nightlife was fun.

There's no reason not to return to that situation and the market should drive it. Some commercial->residential conversions (not easy with a skyscraper, but in some cases doable), some clubs opening up in super-cheap, formerly expensive space, some artists moving back across the bay, and SF could be back.

It's not like it hasn't reinvented itself before. The dotcommers just squeezed too much of the weird out of the place.
Well, sure, but you can just... not do that? The <title> tag can be misleading because there's no guarantee that the title matches the content of the page - but the answer to that is to use good titles for your pages, not to avoid using the <title> tag.
I’m on year 15 with most colleagues in the 5-15 range, some approaching 20. I wouldn’t say someone can’t contribute at all initially, but I’d say the first year I expect any new hire to be almost net negative (in the sense that while their output is good, it’s often with a lot of support that takes time from more senior colleagues).

If I was suspecting someone wouldn’t stay say 3 years, I’d definitely not hire them at all.
A good idea is to create a file called CONTRIBUTING, and then inside put 5 of your top bullet points for what you expect form a PR. I thought it was dumb at first, but people actually used them to my surprise. Hope it works out for you! Also it helps if you don't tag your repos for the hackathon things.
I like documentation with lots of complete examples of every option.

Reference guides with every object/function/method documented.

Links to sample code on github.
Those, and the iOS settings embedded ads, and the News+ notifications are also intrusive and irritating.

I don’t even think it’s indicative of Apple products slipping in quality. I think they’re just so services oriented these days product discoverability is difficult, but also modern Apple has no shame marketing from within.
I also enjoyed it, but I was only coding on my own stuff back then for fun to pass time without having or thinking about a job. I can't imagine doing this on non-solo projects with other people's opinions involved.

At the same time I'm glad it's gone as it seemed to cause more harm than good for other developers.
Those are also the side effects of severe depression so you're not missing out on much.
You can definitely avoid going on longer runs with the intention that you’ll have an easier time tomorrow.
Interesting results. Do you think it would be interesting /possible to try sqlite as a pure in memory db using :memory db file?
Additionally, if you add the seed to the URL GET parameters, I can share this with my colleagues to compete who clocks more kms during a morning stand up.
Yeah, you can do what I did: open Emacs, see "help" in the menubar (best thing since sliced bread), click it, click "tutorial", and we're off to the races.
Actually that's something that annoys me.

I used to not be able to: I set my bar to #000000, which is the same color as the text. And unless I'm imagining things, somewhere along the way it changed to #222222

I can set the topbar to #222222, but then everything else shows up in an annoying low-contrast shadow
I'd recommend The Origins of War in Child Abuse by Lloyd DeMause [1]
if you aren't already aware of it. The actual child abuse part is not
apropos the technological aspects, but there's a deep (one of the most
direct and powerfully written) account of perennial sacrificial
cleansing rituals and the societal death-drive (Thanatos).
There's something I can't figure out from the docs/examples. Does textual rely on taking over the terminal, or can I also render static output? I'm thinking of an app that has both batch and interactive mode with only minor differences in the display.
How can you not know that this has how it has always been and this is how it can only be?! The young have to support the old people. Your index funds dont magically grow at 7% per year if there are no young people working!
Programming Principles at Id Software by John Romero (Strange Loop 2022)
Assuming your question wasn't sarcasm. Literally everyone lie to themselves about one thing or another... Including me, and probably including you.
Mostly cattle, chicken, pigs, horses etc simply due to feedlots etc, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a little dog poo got mixed in. Either incidentally or from the waste stream of commercial kennels.
The dewormer has a half life of about 24 hours, and is also exiting in a different form than it was administered.

Discuss the Problem, Not the Solution
In the long term it will be an improvement. The one thing dragging adoption down is the removal of the old macro system, which depended completely on the implementation details of the old compiler. That said, I agree that Scala 2 is still very much supported, so there's nothing wrong with picking it.
I guess I don’t understand the argument that it’s ok for Kiwifarms to harass everyone in an attempt to get them taken offline, arguably criminally, but not for other people to harass Kiwifarms or their web hosts. If Kiwifarms doesn’t like it, can’t they

1. Stop patronizing Cloudflare 2. Sue Cloudflare or the people speaking out 3. Get law enforcement involved?

From Cloudflare’s statement:

> However, as the pressure campaign escalated, so did the rhetoric on the Kiwifarms site. Feeling attacked, users of Kiwifarms became even more aggressive. Over the last two weeks, we have proactively reached out to law enforcement in multiple jurisdictions highlighting what we believe are potential criminal acts and imminent threats to human life that were posted to the site.
Cool. Does not support dark mode though.
> Hiring is an investment

I think this is why many employees are frustrated when they find out that new hires get paid substantially more than them. Which encourages jumping ship, to get a similar wage bump. I've said this before, I don't understand why wage renormalization isn't a standard practice and why it is considered controversial. When investing you don't just buy investments and then when they are working out and have good future potential buy new riskier investments for higher premiums. You should generally continue to add to what has been working. You should have a balanced profile too. You do need some risk (new hires) but you shouldn't spend all your money on new risky things when what's been working continues too. And just like you want to rebalance your profile frequently, to ensure you're not too leveraged, you too need to renormalize wages. People are frustrated because management is not in fact treating hiring like an investment.
I think you are just wrong. I simply provided some advice to someone who feels they can’t do without something that is possible to do without (or at least in a much more reduced manner).

But I do like the irony, some of you inferred I said “I am better than you”. The words are written by you - “makes you a worse person”, which I don’t need to make any inference on, I know what you said.

I’d give the same advice to anyone that believes they can’t live without coffee. Whether they drink it or not is none of my business, but their exclamation of an impossibility is something I might chime in on.

Start the thread again, I picked a specific thing to address with the GP. Don’t care if he/she uses email, the whole world uses email lol.

Just for shits and giggles:

I get a few text alerts from my bank, I check things out with the bank app. I read the utility mail (yes the paper bill) once a month. No email involved. If I lost my email, my bank and electricity would be fine. So would my internet. It’s not impossible.

Morality seeping into this discussion and holier than thou interpretations (casted on to me), are interesting and I’ll consider everyone’s input carefully and adjust going forward.

Edit:

I use email.
