> it creates forced riders, a problem very rarely addressed

Yes, I think that's the idea. I don't think it's inherently a "problem", though [1]. Lots of good things in society have this same pattern. I pay taxes for the fire department, but have never had a fire myself. Compare to the highly-problematic privatized fire departments of years past. Lots of examples in that vein.

A movie quote comes to mind: "When he reached the New World, Cortéz burned his ships. As a result, his men were well-motivated."

There is something to be said for the power of a "we're all in it together" mentality, whether forced or not.

Maybe that makes me a communist, I don't know (:

> At what point does society end and individual rights begin?

Great question. I imagine the answer varies by person, by culture and sub-culture, by time, and by many other factors. I wonder if someone has done work in quantifying where to draw that line. For instance, with the fire department example, some private ones do still exist, mostly in rural areas, where there's less risk of a fire from one neighbor endangering the next one. But in more crowded areas, such as cities, the "forced rider" approach is far superior. There're probably some formulas that could describe that trade-off.

[1] Aside: I was unfamiliar with the term "forced riders", so I'm going off of the Wikipedia page[2]; not sure if there is some inherent negative association with the term in typical usage.

I began disentangling things from my previous employer about a year before I actually left. 2 weeks notice would basically be a formality, I'd have effectively quit months before anyway.
There are a lot of them but they also hold a lot of trash. The big ones can hold up to 12m3 while a rolling container holds 770L or around 12 35L bags. [1]

Some are emptied on a schedule while others send a signal when they are full. It would also take a similar amount of time to pickup a long street full of rolling steel containers holding around the same amount of trash.

At ~USD 1.70 for one 35L bag people also recycle a lot.

I was running on FreeBSD, and using port selection inside HAProxy to avoid the kernel selecting it, but still had contention on locks when inserting connections into the table. I can't remember if that was FreeBSD 11 or 12, but the next version made improvements which looked nice, but I wasn't able to test.

Somewhere my (not very great, but working) patch set is floating around, where I added rss aware port selection to HAProxy, so client and origin connections would both hash to the same NIC RX queue, and HAProxy never had to deal with cross-cpu communication for reading sockets.

Snaps also create extreme litter in filesystem, some programs like Firefox are broken in confusing way by updates (new tabs are crashing without explanation, part of old tabs crashes), some programs like Telegram were completely broken at some pint in highly confusing ways...

Also, as mentioned by others - Snap is a proprietary, walled-garden system owned by Canonical.
Just so I understand, your world view is that normality means disliking your job; anyone who enjoys their job is suffering from stockholm's syndrome. Even if you're making a quarter mil per year, if you stay after-hours with coworker buddies to implement a feature that augments the experience of millions of people, you're a total sucker.
Yeah, the article is objecting to a fee for applying for the lotteries, but without them there would be so many speculative entries in the system that things wouldn't work.

I'd prefer a system in which you get a certain number of tokens that you can use to bid on various things. Speculative entries would lower your chances of actually getting what you want and thus be discouraged.
Why so? Without control freaks, I think Twitter is a better cess pool now.
This is a good question. At least where I'm working, we have multiple conversations with a candidate throughout the interview process. When I have the opportunity, I do talk about technical or process challenges we have and try to be up front about aspects of a job that we know from experience can be a problem for some people.

For example, I'm on an internal tooling team, and so there's a support component where we have to be accessible and accountable to devs who encounter problems using tools we've created. We have a support rotation where one person a sprint is primarily tasked with being the first contact for people with questions, problems, etc. We've had people on the team before who didn't like this and it showed because they put little effort into it. So now we're very up front during the interviews that this is part of the job; we don't want to hire someone who will be unhappy in the role. It's what we think is the best we can do.

It's hard to answer about cultural blocks, because I haven't experienced those myself. I'm not sure how to even approach that; "hey, I see you're $different, here's some potential challenges you may need to deal with" ? That seems like it is as likely to offend as aid. That said, we do try to get a candidate in front of a variety of people, both to get a sense of how they deal with different people, and to give the candidate an opportunity to get feedback from people in different parts of the organization.
So, the article is actually about running the code you've JIT-compiled and have in memory - not about the actual JIT-compilation. But ok, that (easier) part is useful to go over too.
I don't think the grandparent meant "nothing" literally. But I would agree that the vast majority of corporate media reporting is garbage. The Pulitzer Prize winners are unfortunately the rare exceptions to the norm.
It's been coming out that he donated lots to them too so I guess we'll see. My impression overall though is that he will end up in jail, it's just going to take a while for everyone who received his money to come to terms with the scale of his fraud.
What is the collected tax being used for?

It's one thing if the selling of the credits will be used to subsidize clean energy or to reduce the burden of the good purchased by lowering taxes. However, if the money is going towards growing other social programs, it may just make life more expensive for the average European.
snap is the naggiest thing in my computer. it seems like almost every day it's popping up notifications that snap store needs to do something and that I have like 4 days left and then I click on the notification and nothing happens. I have no idea what to do. why is desktop linux still such a piece of crap
What’s most frustrating is that snap knows the entire state of the world! They know when the application is started and closed. Could download the update at anytime and upon closing the old application, link to the update and delete the old version.
Oh, God, I'm being dragged into this debate again.

> There's no such thing as "just words on the internet". Words express beliefs and intent. I take them seriously.

Intent? Find me a post on KF stating intent to harm someone in real life which wasn't either downvoted or promptly deleted. Go ahead.

> Of course. The sort of people that compile elaborate profiles on people including personal information are some sort of enlightened beings that despite obsessively tracking down and compiling every embarrassing or weird thing about another person would never actually use that information for anything at all.

Create an alt account on KF and post in a lolcow's thread saying that you want to harm that person in real life. You'll be downvoted into oblivion, probably banned, possibly doxed if you used the same username as you use elsewhere, and possibly reported to law enforcement.

You can believe what you're told by people with motivation to lie, or you can discover the truth. Up to you.
Is there any details on the input training datasets? Slight off topic but if anyone knows.
"At the risk of stating the obvious, the reason Madoff was arrested so quickly is because he confessed to every element of criminal fraud — including both the underlying scheme and his criminal intent. This meant that the FBI had both that confession and highly potent, admissible evidence of guilt in the form of testimony from his adult children (who had no apparent axe to grind)."

Right, I mean, I'm not saying he's not guilty, but does anyone at this point really understand it deeply enough to file an arrest warrant? I understand the impatience emotionally, but not logically.
The indictment I'm asking for is no more instantaneous than is standard for low-level arrestees.

Just when? Just three??
Not really. I just noticed that yesterday one of the top stories on HN was coinbase vs Apple. Yet earlier in the week there were hardly any stories of Elon vs Apple.

Obviously Elon declaring war on Apple was the much bigger story. People on twitter were ready to burn their iPhones in support. It even had politicians threatening to get congress to go after Apple on behalf of Elon.

> I posted the tool on Slack so that my colleagues could also benefit from it if they needed to. One hour and four minutes later I was fired.

"I built a tool to allow people to copy corporate data so they could find a job easier."

To be fair, it seems like something you should only do if you don't care about getting fired and if you're already on the way out the door. Unless you're migrating from one email provider to another and your company isn't migrating all the data, most companies are going to take offence to that.

He is suing Twitter, I wouldn't be surprised if he lost because Twitter will successfully claim he wrote a tool to bypass security and allow people to steal trade secrets.
My parents have a vintage carpet with some eastern (counterclockwise) swastikas on it. That said, the context around your comment is completely apparent and the downvote are troubling to say the least. I hope it's just unhelpful pedantry rather than pedantry as a cover for bigotry.
I literally just applied for the April 2023 lottery that this piece is talking about, after failing to win last month. While applying I consoled myself with the thought that all of my $9 entry fees will go to the park service. It really feels bad to find out that is not the case. I can't believe that there isn't even a split between the Park and Booz Allen on the fee...
My garage is right below my kids' room so leaving the car on would definitely be dangerous. Most remote starters automatically turn after 10 minutes so I'd like to think that mitigates that particular threat. Also we have carbon monoxide detectors in every room (after one of my neighbors' HVAC exhaust got blocked by snow after a particularly bad storm).
Yeah, I still get the warning every so often that Ford has access to my GPS for trip tracking... I think if I factory reset the headunit, that'll go away, but then I lose my presets. If I had thought about it, I could have deassociated while the modem was online. :(
They were also being promoted by the World Economic Forum whose page described them as a partner [1], while SBF was rubbing shoulders with individuals like Clinton/Blair and receiving lavish praises throughout the corporate media and becoming one of the biggest political players there is.

I'm confused by Level 5. I thought the safe harbor provision stopped applying if the company made a determination whether it was fair use. And not just for that one image/instance, but possibly for all content.

That is, if you say "Can we have the intern send some of these to our outside counsel to review for fair use before pulling them down?" you're opening yourself up to a ton of liability for all images.
Are you able to store that data in reference-counted RC/ARC types? Those can help you avoid dealing with lifetime issues, though you'll still have to think about mutability and concurrency.

You can explain to it a protol to prompt itself for a question and just feed it with little automation. It’s scary
One big online platform that has totally skimped on reasonable moderation is the charmingly named "E-Mail".

Child porn, copyright infringement, harassment, hate speech, spam, you name it. Anything goes. It's a complete free-for-all.

Giant internet companies like Google and Microsoft make billions of dollars a year through their partnerships with the E-Mail platform. These big companies do make a token effort to remove objectionable content from their servers, but that doesn't matter.

Anyone who wants to sidestep this reasonable moderation and spread hateful content on E-Mail can easily do so for a few dollars a month by setting up a darkweb technology known as a "Self-Hosted Mail-Server". Underground terrorist collectives such as the "postfix" organization distribute software making it possible to set up a Self-Hosted Mail-Server in a few clicks.

We need to rise up and pressure these billionaire tech companies to stop connecting to any E-Mail providers that do not have a full content council and policy, and a team of content moderators.
The line couldn't get any blurrier. The Swastika is a symbol that's been in use for thousands of years in Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe. Its association with mass murder is so very recent, it's almost ridiculous that that's the first thing that comes to mind upon seeing one. Context and all that.

Same goes for deliberately mis-labelling a person. Ironically, the Nazis started their hateful propaganda in the very same way.

Over 2000 years ago, Ovid said "Principiis obsta. Sero medicina parata, cum mala per longas convaluere moras." - stop it at the beginning; a cure is attempted too late when, through long delay, the illness has gained strength.

For example `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` CLI log now includes an ad

This sounds exactly like Canonical's doing these days.

Recently found I was asked to teach a workshop to help student use Kenya's KENET vlab, it is a vm platform from Kenya's education network, to run our program.

Their system have some prebuild image for us to use including Ubuntu. Probably because of lacking of fund, their vms are low-performance QEMU-based machines.

I fired up Ubuntu vm and find:

1. `snapd` running constantly in the background and eating up a lot of memory. So the first thing I have to do is to stop snapd.

2. `unattended-upgrades` keep running. I guess is their internet not good so it seems it runs for a long time and keep eating bandwidth and cpu.

Things like these keep making me loosing faith on Ubuntu.

I remember the name Ubuntu borrowed its root from African language, but it seems their system are not so friendly to the users (including students, educators) from African countries.

Why not open-source it?
Ugh, can we stop interpreting everything so literally? People embellish and use hyperbole for effect. Whenever someone says "always" or "never" (or similar terms), they very rarely actually mean those absolute terms, because most things in the world have exceptions, and most people actually do know that.

If you're genuinely confused by this kind of usage, and actually believe that those absolute terms are used sincerely, then I don't know what to tell you... maybe try to understand culture and language usage better?
Not sure how your point makes any sense.

Worker is contracted to work 9 to 5. Regardless if they WFH and put their feet up for the entire year doing nothing, or they work their bottom off, the majority of time they are required to commit is paid to the tax man.
Agreed. I've read too many long-form Quanta articles that when I open one without realizing it, quickly close it. I don't know who values long articles without substance or earnest attempts at relating to the underlying science. There's also large unrelated pictures interspersed with the too-wide-margin-padded text. Not my cup of tea either.

Ugh. Yeah, it does sound kinda burnout-y, sure.

In your shoes I'd probably design a specification & system to get what you want. Starting with questions like: How would you know you're applying at the type of company you want to work at? How could you find that out before accepting a position? If things don't turn out the way you want, how could you turn your critic-voice into a grounded, solutions-oriented voice as soon as possible, to regain control?

And on the independent side, what's the minimum you need to make to survive?

Additionally, putting those together, what kind of PT or FT employment runway might you need--how long would you need to work & how much would you need to save, as a launch-to-independence stage?

Caveat, you'd probably need to get into the details, which will require a rested, patient mindset.

You are already forecasting in your post, which is generally automatically based on your past experience. But the future will have to be different. This means you'll need a lot of trust in yourself, more than you may have right now, for any kind of progress to feel good.

A lot of little successes are needed from here. And a more objective self-trust system based on new experiences & accomplishments may need to be designed, constructed, experienced going forward.

As a coach myself I'd generally grade your success from here based on how much of this ends up in something like a milestone-focused schedule or spreadsheet that you are actively using, revising, & sharing for accountability on a weekly basis. IOW, subjective mental reflections are not on their own generally reliable for a challenging process like this. Emotions will tend to creep in at the wrong times unless objective measurements are the mainstay.

I would also try other objective-ish methods, e.g. any journaling should be done in the third person before using first person.

BTW It may also be important to build your own system of getting recognition for your contributions, no matter where you're working. This is very much a thing and IIRC some articles along those lines have been posted here. Get what you deserve.

Good luck from here, however this goes for you.
> Me: Does a cannon inflate when it fires?

> ChatGPT: No, a cannon does not inflate when it fires. Inflate means to fill something with air or gas, whereas a cannon uses gunpowder to create an explosion that propels a projectile out of the barrel. The explosion in a cannon is a rapid release of gas, which can cause the barrel of the cannon to expand slightly, but it does not inflate in the sense of being filled with air or gas.

The FDA is really slow to approve new kinds of things. They want it to be standardized and repeatable. Arguably that's justifiable caution, but it means that a lot of patients are cut off from even trying things that might help (and pushing a lot to quack medicine in the process).
