Richard Stallman agrees with you.

I’m happy to take a different name, but Wikipedia at least refers to it this way.

Debian themselves say that they’re an operating system.

Regardless; many (if not most, if not close to all) utilities developed on top of Linux are portable across not only distributions, but other kernels or even operating systems.

It’s not fair to say that “those people who develop on systems with Linux kernels only support linux”.

My preferred pronouns are 'latefordinner' and 'delayedfordinner'. It's a reference to a very old English joke going 'you can call me almost anything you want - but don't call me late for dinner'. My way of saying the inquirer can even call me late for dinner if they want. I realize this is serious business to some people, but I also want to signal that it is very much not serious business to me.
I think you do well to learn Dutch. People here speak English well, the universities are a magnet for international students and especially Amsterdam is quite international, so changes are that you will order something in a cafe in your best dutch and they would not understand you, because you speak Dutch.

Your coworkers left out an important detail though: on the workfloor, in the shops, anywhere, speaking English is fine. When socializing, there you will face obstacles.

After work hours are for relaxing. So, having to speak in English makes it less optimal, even if the Dutch are really willing to accommodate you there. Quite naturally, people will drop to Dutch again during conversations. If one have to make jokes, common references and all the stuff for which you need a finer touch which your mother tongue provides for, falling back to a foreign langue is a degradation. 1) vocabulary, 2) emulation vs native speed.

If you are with six dutchies and you are the only one that forces everyone to have a "degraded experience" of a fun night, you do well to try to learn Dutch. Tell them to fuck off if they switch to English when you want them to speak Dutch, so you can learn.

You can be direct and honest with the dutch, that is appreciated. When people start to insult you, congratulations! They are joking and signaling they accept you as one of them. You should respond with another insult.

When we do something social, we plan. Don't just drop by and assume you will be invited over for dinner. Dutch people are anti-social or well organized, pick your perspective. This is definitely a difference with more tropical social climates.

If you move in January, brace for cold, dim days. When spring comes, everything will look nicer.

Good luck!
I think we're seeing something related instead. AMD/nVidia have 20+ years of optimizing for specific games in their drivers. Intel doesn't. So they're using DXVK to make up for all the games they don't have the time/resources to optimize for. If this works out for Intel long-term, it would be a huge boon for all of us. It means any future competitors would be able to use DXVK to make up for the disadvantage of joining the game so late.
> It's Google's servers. I imagine every content hosting company has a heuristics based approach to detecting CSAM.

The slippery slope claim made in the past was that they were only looking for files that match known examples of kiddie porn.

For instance, this tech from Microsoft:

>PhotoDNA creates a unique digital signature (known as a “hash”) of an image which is then compared against signatures (hashes) of other photos to find copies of the same image. When matched with a database containing hashes of previously identified illegal images, PhotoDNA is an incredible tool to help detect, disrupt and report the distribution of child exploitation material.

Reporting parents to police because they took pictures of their child's first bath and those photos were automatically backed up to Google servers is much, much worse.
The name might be appropriate. A tool that delivers really good bullshit could be just what managers want.
Yes, I play mostly heavily modified Minecraft. Packs like Compact Claustrophobia or FTB Stoneblock 3.

To the extent these have a definite ending, it's not the ending intended for Minecraft.

Take Star Factory, you're not going to kill monsters and build up until you can take on a dragon, you're building a factory to make stars. You start with basic materials like an unlimited supply of wood and gold and you've reached the end of the game once your systems are just making stars automatically from your materials.

The modern game actually has a bunch of stuff "after" the ending when played straight up.
Good luck! In Amsterdam you won't need any Dutch, except occasionally when you have to sign some government papers.
But a little Dutch will certainly let you enjoy your stay a lot better!

When I read this, not judging or anything, no ulterior motive, I'm reminded Microsoft and embrace, extend, extinguish.

When and if they get rid of the competition, it likely won't be free aka 0 monetary costs again.
My dad used to work as a "system programmer" in Poland, starting in late 70's. He has worked in a biggest (I think) government facility back then. He used to write IO code for a database system. Because of a ban on IP imports across the Iron Curtain, or maybe how expensive DB/2 was, rewriting from scratch was the only option to have something that actually worked. It was all about registering child births, deaths, marriages, etc. So whole that database system was written by just a handful of people in S/370 Assembler (I think) using obviously 3270 terminal.

I was in his office number of times. Journey usually was starting in the morning. We did not have a car so we were taking a tram, about 45 mins to get there. Then about 5 mins walk and we are saluted by fully armed soldier. Then my dad calls the captain, using a phone handed over by another soldier behind the desk, asking if he can enter facility with his son. Permission granted, we enter.

For me, that was a completely different and magical world behind that gate. Everything neat and tidy, very unlike the world outside. My dad was taking me to his room (no open spaces back then) shared with one maybe two colleagues. Each had a terminal and a phone on their desks. Room was full of documentation books, punch cards here and there, other strangely formatted papers. I was allowed to wander through the office, use lifts (very hi-techy compared to what I saw before) and so on. I was 10. A boy in communist country in a middle of such facility.

Every now and then my dad was taking me to the main DC. One of the places I could not enter on my own. For me, it was stunning. Risen floor (with cables running below), noisy climate control and a room, 40m x 40m maybe full of mixture of washing machine or refrigerator size devices. One corner of that place was behind a glass with people in white coats there. Considering the noise, probably a good idea. One, maybe two of them, were wandering around in that DC looking at all the flashy lights.

So my dad was walking me around, telling me what those devices were: that's the disk (10MB If I remember correctly), that's the tape backup, that's a printer (A3 printer, noisy and fast), and here it is, that's the main CPU. I think it was IBM, but cannot be sure. There was also this Odra system there, probably with 1Mhz CPU, being a top of the line back then. In our country.

Later on my dad got a PC from his employer, it was a 4.77Mhz 8086 PC with 20MB disk. I was allowed to use it. This was the machine that got me into programming. It was so slow and noncompetitive to Atari and Amiga that the only fun thing to do with it was to program it. That sealed the deal.
My startup uses live chat and our human median response time is sub 60 seconds. Our customers love it.
What did you observe in your experience?
Good. Work should be about work. Keep those conversations on Facebook.
Lots of integrations, like their Zoho suite I don't need for personal use. I just use Apple calendar, and the notes app for writing which get the job done. Zoho for personal use is either bloat/ overkill, depending on how you look at it.

> I'd wager most views that espouse "accessibility should be guidelines, not regulations" would 180 as soon as the person holding that view was affected by even the smallest vision disability and lack of WCAG compliance on a site they frequent.

It's not from a lack of empathy and I think that framing the argument that way is emotionally manipulative. There is a cost associated with making things accessible. If that weren't the case we wouldn't have guidelines like WCAG that teach people how to make things accessible. It's not entirely intuitive so it must be learned which is an added cost. For the government that's very obviously going to be necessary. In the US it's mandated by law that federal agencies' services must be accessible.

That's the scope that I'm comfortable with. The government is for the people so that naturally extends to all of its citizens, not just the able-bodied. Private companies don't have any such obligation to serve every person and individuals definitely don't. Guidelines are the right balance. You don't infringe on people's freedom of expression and you get iterative improvements on specifications that make it easier for people building accessibility tech to be on the same page.
IANAL, but clearly neither is this guy.

Contracts do not have to be in writing to be binding. Nor do they have to be fair. Signing the contract is one way to prove acceptance, but failing to sign the contract yet carrying it out and taking the money from the other party is also quite a valid proof of acceptance of the contract.

If he wanted to argue that he didn't accept the contract, he should not have accepted the money. I can sympathize with his regret and his feeling of being railroaded... but he took the money.

For anyone in a situation like this, where the contract comes after the work, you don't argue about whether or not to sign some paper. You reject the money until you have an actual agreement.
That's awesome! I work with CubeSats too. Would you happen to be at the Albaorbital PocketQube Workshop?
After all these years sure. But at the time the game felt like it had already peaked and was pretty stable. To me it felt like the ending came much after for some reason
Yupppp this is it.
> implement the join function by adding an extension on `Array<String>`. And the + function would just be, for example, `static func + (left: Vector2D, right: Vector2D) -> Vector2D`.

1. We are talking about a function that takes two values and spits out a third. In what sense are we talking about calling a method (or passing a message) to an object (the first string) to mutate its state? How do we enable a compiler to reason about the side-effects (or lack) of this code?

2. In mathematics "+" is almost always used for a commutative operation on values, so defining it the way you have breaks an (implicit) interface that is not explicitly codified (in part because current languages do not give us a way to codify this). The ability to reason about such properties is crucial if you want the runtime to be able to automatically reorder/parallellize/etc without breaking correctness.

3. While these details are minor annoyances in the case of string concatenation (fairly benign problem), they can become really painful when you are trying to leverage the power of generic programming to compose sophisticated algorithms. A classic poster example for this is when you want to add units or uncertainties/error-bars to your numbers and have all your numerical & plotting code generalize seamlessly -- Julia (for example) performs beautifully, while I don't see how any single dispatch (OOP) language can handle this challenge. More examples in this spirit: complex numbers, autodiff with dual numbers, etc.
As soon as you use something like SAP or Oracle the number of offically _supported_ distributions quickly decreases.
As example SAP HANA: RHEL and SLES or for example Oracle Database: RHEL, OEL (based on RHEL AFAIK) and again SLES.

So it is not only a question if it would theoretically/technically fail on another platform.
There is an old joke of data transfer speeds reachable with a railroad car full of CDs. Though I do not know the RFC number for TCP-over-Railroad.
I see it a little bit like a dodgy party donor, which is very much appreciated by the party profiting from the filthy lucre being sent in their general direction.

Then suddenly scandal engulfs the donor and the honchos in the profiting party are shocked! SHOCKED! I tell you.

I think that's a quite good analogy to what happened here. While the money was rolling nobody asked questions from where it's actually coming from. Only when that whole house of cards, built within other houses of cards collapsed did the "condemnation" start.

Nobody is really interested in details how the sausage is made as long the money is rolling. Thus, any condemnation or distancing from Mr. Bankman-Fried and his business rings very, very hollow to me.
This is very helpful; thank you.
Wow, that's a Kafkaesque nightmare.
No one is claiming that women should be “mandated” to have sex with whoever! :D
(WTF?!)

See? The (current?) pervasiveness of black & white thinking is central to all this.

- What about just starting by throughly acknowledging the issue?

That would be a very nice upgrade to the debate.

Actually two very lonely female voices did - and that’s sooo sexy.
I would love to date them. Anyone has their WhatsApp number?

That is interesting; can you point to specifics? I am generally a proponent of orthogonality in my system components, although I am not opposed to the core structure of systemd.
> do not automatically assign an exclusive copyright to the buyer

Of course, because in germany you can not transfer your copyright at all, unless you die. ;)

Without being nitpicky you are still right in the way you meant it: There is no automatic usage right afaik. (And also google results agree: eg https://likvi.de/blog/urheberrecht )
It's to assist you when you need to replace the ceiling light bulb, no?
I think "state actor doctrine" is important here. The above poster wrote: "here Apple is conducting the scans and forwarding the results onto the Government for the purposes of law enforcement." If that were true, Apple would probably lose whatever class action suit was brought by the pedos. But in this case, Apple has every right to ensure that its servers and platforms are not used to disseminate unlawful material. They could always be held liable by victims or the state for failing to curb the kind of activity that is certainly happening today whereby people make icloud folders partially or publicly accessible. How is it different to charge for a subscription to an icloud folder vs a paid substack? Both of these companies share in the responsibility not to allow csam on their platforms.

a private company can always publish terms that grant them on-device or in-cloud access to whatever data they are manipulating or storing or whatever. One could argue that clicking ok on "we can manipulate your data" is legal umbrage for "running a hash search and forwarding material to fbi".

Is "post fib.gov" the new "Sunset Filter"? and can they run that filter automatically?
It's still a choice. I know this might be hard for people to believe, but there's still a lot of people that live their lives without internet and they can still do all the things necessary to live their life.

If you want to use a web application, then yeah, you probably need to allow the web browser to run JS because it enables those things to exist.
Because it makes it a pure prestige object, which is not even used for the practical day to day business of the organization (and incurs 10s of thousands of yearly costs just for upkeep and maintenance in the bargain).

Yes, unlike some of the others it really reads like something a native speaker would write

The benefit of cookie banners is that you know to stay away from the website if possible.
But what you can find out is that the candidate is honest and will tell you he/she does not know the answer.

In the end you want to work together on things and you want to know how the person ticks.

So a self reflected, honest candidate is good and at least I have the impression you can assess where you would need to provide support /trainings for the candidate, or how self learning would work
>I don't know much about the intricasies of multithreading, so I couldn't tell you if Julia's approach to multithreading is groundbreaking or well designed. What I can tell you, is that in Julia, it is so easy to use multiple threads effectively, that even though I don't feel that confident writing complex multithreaded code, most my performance sensitive scripts are multithreaded where it's obvious to do so.

Threading may be easy but the approach they are taking is not very performant for various hardware-related reasons.
I would have upvoted, but that site has the most user hostile banner as soon as you start scrolling that I can’t.
Intels integrated GPUs have pretty good "legacy D3D" support though (much better than their legacy GL support anyway)... it's not like they are newcomers when it comes to graphics driver development. Also D3D11 support will be relevant at least for the next 10 years
He payed, and the writer accepted. That's it. It is a reasonable amount of money for the kind of work that was completed.

Both sides didn't clear up the legal side of things, yes, but it doesn't change the fact that both were OK with it until... until what? What did change? The writer wanted more... money? Recognition?
If you read the whole story you may realize that it was not the lack of material benefits that made him bitter but the distrust and a false friendship caused by miscommunication by flawed humans.
Can it be disabled with an option? If I have an structure with mass, height and width, I'll really hate to order them as height, mass and width.

My totally uninformed opinion is to run away from a linter that makes that changes.
> all it does is regurgitate existing works

I'm not sure I understand. It can be used in many different ways, partly as a general natural language interface: it is great at (also example):

Expand on these points of Ai capability with examples: machine translation, writing text based on keywords/short-hand, altering style/tone, summation.

To which chat gpt responds as below[r]. If this was a support or sales dialog - it might have saved me quite a lot of time - even without doing any editing (which I probably would have).

At any rate, I don't see how this is "just regurgitating" in any meaningful way? Sometimes change in scope/scale implies change in kind.

[r] > Machine translation is a common example of artificial intelligence (AI) capability. This technology allows for the automatic translation of text or speech from one language to another. For instance, a person speaking in Spanish could have their words automatically translated into English in real-time. This capability has been used in applications such as language translation apps, multilingual customer support systems, and global business communication.

Another example of AI capability is writing text based on keywords or short-hand. This type of technology uses algorithms to analyze a set of keywords or phrases and generate a coherent text based on those inputs. For instance, a person could input the keywords "dog" and "chasing tail" and the AI system would generate a sentence such as "The dog was running in circles, chasing its tail." This capability has been used in applications such as automated content generation for social media posts or marketing materials.

AI technology can also alter the style or tone of text. This capability allows for the manipulation of the language used in a text to fit a specific style or tone. For instance, a person could input a text in a formal tone and the AI system could alter it to a more casual or conversational tone. This capability has been used in applications such as automated email responses or customer service chatbots.

Finally, AI technology can be used for summation, or the creation of a concise summary of a longer text. This capability allows for the extraction of the key points or ideas from a text and the generation of a shorter, more easily digestible summary. For instance, a person could input a lengthy article and the AI system could generate a one-paragraph summary of the main points. This capability has been used in applications such as summarizing news articles or generating summaries of research papers.
Why would it reflect poorly on anyone but himself? Well, I guess he has appearances going for him: he's a struggling artist while the other party is a wealthy corporation. But him being a struggling artist seems to be a clear choice, even if he hasn't quite made that choice explicit for himself.

> He asked for their offer, Mojang offered $20k, and he took the money.

The way I'm reading it is that he didn't even want to talk about the money. It had to be all about the art. And yet he clearly has lots of feelings about the money. Like I said, it's mostly his own attitude that's his problem. And although he claims lots of personal growth because of this, I'm still not sure he really understands that he's mostly projecting his own issues on others.

Still, he's probably right that he still owns it and Mojang only had a license, and giving it to the public domain is a nice gesture, if made with some grandstanding.
I don't think it's correct. There would be much less incentive for men to seek status if it didn't widen his dating pool, and a huge amount of our society's value comes from men seeking to gain status legitimately.

I think the problem comes from attraction being hackable via a particular kind of hypernormal stimulus. It should be easier to distinguish a psychopath putting on a show from someone who is stably or meta-stably in a higher status bracket than it is. People caught in these kinds of webs mention all sorts of red flags they failed to pay proper attention to after the fact, so it's not like there's no difference. And yet, we're not evolved to pay attention to the warning signs. On the bright side, the evolutionary pressure to pay attention now is pretty great.

I played it in college, during the beta. There was no ending, no purpose, or quest, and the phenomena was already in full steam. To me part of the appeal was that it was essentially infinite, there was no end. By the year mark when the full version was released, the game was already cemented in history. I've since never seen the ending until reading it in this article.

If he wanted more than $20k he should have asked for it then, but I think the appeal of putting your writing in front of over a hundred million people and a $20,000 check was "enough" compensation for the work, at the time. But resentment grew as the game continued to succeed.

To me this feels like it was written after seeing the Doom music story...which is entirely different as the music of the first (new) doom game was a huge part of its success. This is literally the opposite as the text was tacked on after the game was already successful (Just not yet at its peak success.) And in some ways feels like it is inviting MS lawyers to intervene, but he has much less of a standing.
