Copyright covers four rights, one of them being distribution. It also covers creating derivative works, copying, and public performance. Many licenses based on copyright put restrictions on use; indeed, the BSL (the same license the author is thinking of moving to) does exactly this.

In the case of the GPL, you only need to provide source code to those you distribute the software to; that may be what you're thinking of with respect to distribution, but that's more an artifact of the GPL (and its goals) than copyright.
Not gatekeeping. Just not pretending it's easy.

Another tech community I'm in is known for being extremely helpful to newcomers who are interested (e.g., anyone who's interested will typically get an expert answering their questions). That's different from saying the subject matter is easy, and mass-advertising it to people looking for easy.
I’m not sure who’s forgotten my school was next to the Roding Nature reserve, and parkland area.

There are several villages at its head. High Roding, White Roding, Leaden Roding, Abbess Roding, and Margaret Roding. I believe a Saxon tribe called the Rodingas settled there.

There are a couple of sewage facilities upstream that look to have a habit a habit of releasing raw effluent.

Finally I noticed a few months back that someone was about to excavate a Roman villa next to the river, I’m guessing it is likely to meander into the site.

It would be interesting to track the old Mediaeval road that passed by from Newmarket to Mile End, there are marooned pubs that I think may have lined it.

Three Theories That Explain This Strange Moment
I think more startups need to consider building monoliths first.

Micro-service architecture definitely has the advantage at scale, but the advantage of monoliths is the speed that you can build and improve them. Microservices require much more planning and architecture discussions compared to monoliths.

Microservices also can have incredible performance improvements over monoliths (being able to scale or tailor each micro service to its' specific needs as opposed to "on size fits all" of monoliths). So yes they can be right-sized in your cloud easier and have tailored performance, but it comes at the complexity of the deployment and management of the system. By comparison monoliths can sometimes be managed without a dedicated SRE/DevOps/CloudEngineering team.

Monoliths tend to be cheaper to deploy (up to a certain point).

Startups should consider building on monoliths more often. For proof of concept and MVP tools, monoliths are the way to go. Solo developers also are much better served with monoliths compared to micro services. But I will say, eventually if you scale big enough it will eventually make sense to leave monoliths behind and move towards micro services. Yes there are exceptions (someone will write, "but XYZ company is worth 9 gajillion dollars and runs on a monolith), but generally speaking I consider starting with a monolith and moving to micro services after you hit market acceptance for your product.
I think you'd need a startup prediction market to do this. Founder describes startup and success, people bet on yes or no.
You can't return JSON to the browser. (I mean you can, but why lol?)

You have to interpret both up and down stream with a JSON parser (usually JS).
In contrast, you can return hypertext/hypermedia directly to the browser and the user can interact with it immediately, without needing translation layers.

I'm of a mind to agree with GP, but I also agree that lack of funding and motivation will kill the project.

Unfortunately, to me this just means the project will probably die. If the author is feeling burnt out and losing money on it, I don't think trying to pivot to a commercial license will help, since as others have mentioned, I don't think many businesses rely on mold specifically, and since the performance gap isn't astronomical, many companies will just drop in lld and be done with it.

At least, that seems likely to me. I guess we might find out?
Article appears to be paywalled, but as a real estate agent...I'd say "it depends." For example, I had a monied client reach out to me this morning to say they are going to sit tight for a year and plan to buy in 2023+... well, for that kind of client, in my market, now would be a great time to buy (assuming they have the money) because there's more inventory than anytime since 2019 and sellers are somewhat motivated by fear of the unknown. For middle-class / average income buyers, sure the interest rates are worse than they have been, but potentially better than they could be in the future. At the same time, I don't see house prices dropping in my market in real terms - so might as well buy now rather than buy at a $25-50K increase 12-18 months from now. I was warning a lot of buyers that our local market was going to squeeze the working class right out of the area, and that continues as a trend. Again, every market is going to have its nuances.

Masterpiece, no doubt. I'd be so cool to see the source!

That’s a huge cut. Has anyone done the math - the loss of advertisers vs the reduced workforce costs? Stands to reason that Twitter could be a hugely profitable company for a short time (until tech debt and other things overtake the short term gains)?

No they don't. When you add the efficiency of the grid, the charging station, charging the battery and discharging the battery burning a lump of coal to power your Tesla has _no_ advantage over burning a bottle of petrol for your non SUV.

That's debatable. What was the impact of the biases against women towards them working STEM jobs? Could it still linger today in having created the cultural environment which is why few women pursue STEM and why it's still predominantly men?

> Research has shown that women are no less capable than men in science and mathematics. But, according to the AAUW, external factors, like a lack of role models, cultures that tend to exclude women, and persistent stereotypes about women’s intellectual abilities, reinforce a wide gender gap.

- https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2022/06/women-in-stem...

Now I'm not sure if trying to hire more women can really reverse this, but I do think there's at least an argument to be made.

Factor in that there's also still resume bias against women: https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/uncovering-hirin...

Where it's shown that women need higher GPAs to be perceived as equaly qualified as lower GPA male equivalents.

And you could also make an argument for needing to fight the still existent hiring bias against them.
I am an insider to this space and I think you are probably an outsider.

That link doesn’t say what you think it does.

LCP before optimization is a cause of what? For example, a complex product page. Well of course that will convert worse, because the product is complicated.

But not too simple! 0.5s performs as bad as 2s.

Anyway, in my real experience, conversion fluctuates so much across products, the range greatly exceeds the impact measured by aggregate conversions by LCP, so your interpretation is wrong.
Similar take re: Jira at work. But for me personally, Jira is valuable in that it at least provides shorthand for a body of work. I manage my own deliverables (and my small team's, to a lesser extent) in Obsidian, in a work-dedicated private vault. Referencing Jira tickets ("WF-1234" or "CICD-9999") in my per-project devnotes is helpful for organization and providing centers of gravity for related | interdependent notes. YMMV but it's been working fairly well for me.

> The people remote controlling drones into civilians in Ukraine should be held accountable, just like the people that killed civilians with hellfire missiles in Afghanistan should be held accountable

Typical civilian deaths in Afghanistan would be e.g. families living with high ranking enemy combatants, totally incomparable with Russian forces bombing shopping malls in Ukraine.

At least the US cares enough to have a man in the loop when killing with their drones. Chair force killers actually have to watch and pull the trigger, not like the Russian missile programmers remotely destroying city block sized targets.
That “logical” order is only because you’re trying to read it like a sentence (“mov/add ebx into eax”) when you should be reading it like a formula or what it actually is - code. And that’s fine, but considering Intel created the chip, it makes sense that they should decide how the assembly syntax should be, not AT&T.

The only reason “AT&T syntax” exists for x86 is because people working at AT&T refused to use Intel as the authoritative reference on the syntax, and, instead, decided to follow the convention of the PDP, Motorola, etc. family and friends. Hence why `as` (and subsequently `gas`) have that as the default.
And if office politics factor into OP's motivations to change, academia has that as bad or worse than any business/corporate setting.
"I think technical people drastically overestimate the pain that most "normal" people experience when it comes to browser performance."

Eh I think technical sales people overestimate how much users don't care, the feeling of "normal" users don't care is primarily driven by a narrow age bracket of folks who haven't had enough time to form an opinion (ages 20-25).

As this age bracket thinks of itself as "normal" and tends to live in its own bubble, it dismisses the general distaste for technology as being "not technological", when in fact the older generations already have expectations which it recognizes that technology is getting worse, not better.
And it's not just schools. It's also social work. And related fields. Basically, all the things you'd want to involve yourself in "to make a difference" are dominated by liberals.
Buenos Aires is a city I know well, I visited quite a few times and I will do it again in a couple of weeks.

But making it my home base would be in the context of the life I am talking about. If I must work, like unfortunately I still have to do, Buenos Aires is a way less attractive destination for me, since not many companies are allowing remote work from down there (my company does not, although I can move freely in the US) and there is the usual visa problem.
And it is also quite far away from everything, it is, geographically, similar to California, which is far away from most locations I am interested in (East Coast, Europe, Far East Asia).
I seem to have a different definition of "tech work" than most people here. When I dream of taking a sabatical I think about being a baker or barrista for $10/hour.

Do you have some resources about recycling of panels? I understand the point of the article is it's no longer the pressing issue it was once considered (by some), but I am curious if it's now just a delayed problem, or if recycling is a solved problem? Thanks!
I was thinking of industrial installations, but similar issue with residential. I assume that not many roofs are good after 20-30 years, so by the time the solar panel warranty starts to expire, it is time to get a new roof. Might as well upgrade panels at the same time.
I often use the (equivalent) argument "how could Mario escape, even if he somehow 'knew' he were in a simulation?" to help illustrate why it may not be possible to escape even if we are in a simulation -- but I think this only covers a range of possible scenarios.

I think there is at least one way that we could "escape" almost simulation, which is described early in the paper, with the mobile fish tank example -- if we managed to communicate with the outside world, and either solicit cooperation from the beings running the simulation, or managed to influence things in that world to be able to build our own mobile fish tank, we could in theory feed data from sensors in the outside world into the simulation, and data from the simulation back out to actuators in the real world. In this type of scenario, in some sense of course we would never truly "escape" from the simulation, as we would remain running on the same substrate, but we could experience and influence the outside world to a similar degree to any natural inhabitant of the outside world.

The second type of scenario would be an information based transfer. Today we can train a neural network in a simulated world and then install that neural network in a physical robot in the real world. I'm not suggesting that today's neural network's are close to sufficient to capture the entirely of a human's consciousness, but assuming that technology keeps advancing at the pace it is, it's not hard to imagine that we will eventually have something that is, whether that's in 10 years, 100 years, 1m years, etc. At that point there's no reason that what we use to capture consciousness in our world could not be reproduced in some other medium in the outside world.

We have mobile apps on both iOS and Android. Yes, we definitely need to improve our website. Don't have much time for it yet.
Even under ideal conditions where most people were claiming it's working great, I never found the latency even remotely acceptable. Maybe it's due to my preference to esports titles that requires all the responsiveness possible, but the point stands. Remote rendering would never be able to achieve anything even close to acceptable performance to be competitive with on-client rendering.
> Often these roles are far less stressful

What did you have in mind specifically? I can’t think of anything myself that doesn’t seem just as or more stressful and with less flexibility.

That's a non sequitur. I was talking about financial constraints of the company, not the user. I'd have no problem paying for a piece of critical software if they contractually guaranteed that they wouldn't break the functionality and/or litter it with ads, or at least make it open source if they do. It has nothing to do with my personal financial constraints. That's a misinterpretation on your part.

An easy way to get most of the way there:

- Minimal to no fruit (that includes tomato).

- Don't eat anything that comes in a package or that has an ingredients list more than 1 item long (so, frozen broccoli is fine, as long as there's no extra stuff in the bag).

- Don't eat anything that your great grandparents wouldn't have had access to.

Some things, like bell peppers, will start tasting like candy after a few weeks of this.
I think you got your greater than sign the wrong way around? Consider a lot of non-tech people don't constantly upgrade, and still rock 4GB systems, at least an eighth of that resource is a big ask for a sloppy app (unless it is the only app they use on the device).
Russia is doing the same thing.

Moreover, what they are doing is 'very crude' and the higher end drones, equipment, targeting, munitions are not available to them largely because that information is guarded.

Several years ago, at a previous employer, a colleague whose technical ability I had deep respect for confided in me that he was only interviewing women until the representation on his team reached >50%. When I pointed out that was probably illegal and certainly unethical and lowers the chance of selecting the most qualified candidate, he said selecting the most qualified candidate was less important than "levelling the playing field." I don't think he ever considered the irony of his viewpoint that "women can only succeed if I enable it."

I wish I could say this is a rare viewpoint, but this sort of overt discrimination appears to be rampant in certain tech circles.
The only glib statement in this conversation is yours. You're trying to dismiss someone's point on the grounds that it doesn't align with your political views.
Ah, sure. Yes, similar math.

I forgot that for residential, in many areas the replacement panels would probably come about like a typical roof replacement: after a storm, subsidized by insurance. That may be the case with industrial/commercial as well, but I’m not familiar with insurance trends there.

Being hosted on GitHub, it probably has already been cloned multiple times around the world. Although if I understood the device working principles, this isn't rocket science and the most difficult part is making a receiver in which multiple SDR are synchronized from a single source so that the phase difference between received signals can be accurately measured, which would be impossible by using separate tuners due to the high latencies and unpredictabilities of the USB hardware.
I wonder if the interest created by the Streisand effect alone might fuel the production of cheaper multi-SDR hardware in China, to have it then available through say Aliexpress. That would defeat the take down purpose in the most ironic way.
