As p0pcult said, people realized that VC is about concentrating wealth.

As a counter example, Microsoft's IPO made a few billionaires and tens of thousands (!) of millionaires, and that was in 1986 (so take inflation into account, it's been 36 years).

How many of these modern exits have made the lives of so many so good, with all the dilutions?
> the issuer doesn't just hand out scopes like candy

GitHub isn’t doing the handing out, it is the user doing the handing out.

I don’t blame the user, as a rule, but in this type of scenario, the user (a consumer of development tools) shouldn’t be excused, in my opinion.

This would be like a doctor complaining for getting sued for malpractice by a patient of a nurse under the doctor, while the doctor neglected to review the patient chart and neglected to take the time to speak with the nurse.

caveat emptor

All that said, I would hope that bad actors that get caught, effectively phishing for GitHub credentials, using a technique like this end up being banned from GitHub.
not at all: higher performance equals higher freq, which requires higher voltage. Power scales w/ frequency linearly and the with the voltage squared. Then any active cooling will have its own power consumption.

Best battery/power savings are achieved running as low as possible voltage for as high as possible frequency. At such voltages the CPUs/APUs are less likely to throttle to begin with.
Cause you can work on other projects meanwhile, multitasking is easy and never helps making mistakes.

It’s also easy to contract on your terms. You just say “I want that for very cheap” and get flooded with interested contractors.

Why have repo-starring API if you don't want users starring repos via API?
Based on colleagues working in Monaco (both locals and commuters), it was not a friendly agreement at all (since Monaco is just losing) - it was basically give us all your French banking / employment data or we will fucking invade you with army and end your little kingdom for good.

French were/are not some nice baguette eating and coffee sipping polite 'bonjour monsieur' artists that visiting Paris as tourist may make you believe, rather colonialists to the core (at least people in government with actual power).

And yes French treatment of even modestly wealthy is straight out of communist guidebook - vilify, tax to hell, make up laws that even break european treaties but ignore european courts rulings on those, blame on rich all mismanagement of vast (not only social) state wealth on population deemed lazy even by french citizens themselves (I have tons of french colleagues and none hired french workers when doing some home reconstruction and they were clear why).

There are various protections in Monaco for local populations, companies have quotas on minimum mandatory hires from local population, so sometimes clueless people are hired to just sit on chair to get the numbers going, earning massive salaries (for France and western Europe at least). But its still well worth for the companies (mostly banks), some scenes are pretty surreal - 90+ senile guy barely coherent coming to the bank branch, accompanied by few 20-something models, taking literally full shopping bag worth of cash and heading right back to casino or yacht for next party. Definitely old rich money's place, overranked in my opinion but its mainly tax haven so thats not relevant.
Someone on /r/rust is currently marveling that it spit out a working bitmap allocator: https://reddit.com/r/rust/comments/zgkuq6/

ChatGPT is sensitive to how you prompt it, and it's designed to work as a dialogue where you ask further questions and it can refine its answer.

It can already write reasonable working code, although you shouldn't expect it to spit out entire working programs when the prompt is Gimme Teh Codez without further details. That being said, AI capabilities only get better with time, so I think it'd be shortsighted to dismiss its potential because of its current limitations.

If the pace keeps up, companies with access to large language models in a few years could have a large advantage on legacy programming, the same way programmers in high-level languages have a massive productivity advantage on 1970's low-level assembly programmers. You give up a little more control, but you save time.

We hired a few people from the NHS. Admin staff. They were over the moon and working hard even with lower salaries as long as they won't need to work for NHS. The workloads are insane and the shitty cynical attitude is all over the place, which doesn't help at all with morale.
One of the main metric for build time for me is to make it fast enough so you do not want switch to other task at all

GitHub is clearly listing list of permissions, and yes - I check it before accepting log in and in some cases have not granted permission because scope was overly large.
Nah, Chrome is larger than that. I built NixOS 22.11 from source and Chromium took over 6 hours on a Ryzen 7 3800XT with 32GB of RAM. Had to run the build on spinning rust though, because neither my SSD and certainly not my tmpfs were large enough.

Browsers should definitely give developers an open API for WebAuthn/Passkeys instead of relying on dirty inject hacks. For now, injecting is the only way to get it to work. Unless you modify the password manager itself to disguise itself as an USB authenticator device.
This is useful! I like it. Thank you for the effort!
Precisely. So one could ask whether finance is the root problem in those countries or not (e.g. if the problem is a corrupt government, maybe fix that first) and if it is, one may wonder why it should be replaced by cryptocurrencies (which until now haven't fixed much) instead of improving the traditional finance.
I like this setup because you don't need to pull the stats like with Prometheus.

Type statements first, in white-space significant languages, are great too. They allow for type based DSLs to be really cleanly included. Think gremlin, SQL, or jsx. Multiline strings are very neat too.
I checked with Google Translate and it did all the phrases right. Quite impressive!
Wow, that's really egregious.

I started using mIRC as a teenager, I had almost no money so used pirated versions. Many years later, since the program gave me many hours of enjoyment (and through it I had the first conversations the person who is now my wife, no less!), I bought a couple of licenses because I felt I owed it to the devs.

I don't regret doing that, of course... but there's no way I'll be renewing my lifetime licenses. The contract I signed gave me a lifetime right to use the software so my understanding is that if the dev wants to remove that right from me, it's completely legitimate to resort to piracy, and I doubt a court could say otherwise.
Sentry solves tangential but different use cases. E.g does not allow you to define custom metrics to e.g. monitor resource utilization
It doesn't really matter where the UK's gas comes from. That's not how global commodities markets work. If it was domestically produced you could legislatively do something about it but the UK's gas seems to primarily come from Norway.

Also, the UK has the second-highest dependence on natural gas in their energy mix (after Italy; ignoring Belarus and Russia) [1].

I'd say it's more like showing up to a masquerade ball in an unexpected outfit. The idea of having a brand name is as a proxy or front for the real product after all, not as a representation of who you are.

At Halloween parties, it's the most unexpected, elaborate, and whimsical costumes that get the most praise. Rarely do the people in those costumes need a high level of charisma to pull it off.

I have liquid metal of 5y old and it's just as new - the thing does not 'dry out', but it can be pumped out during thermal expansion and contraction.
It depends on your system of parsing. For example, code generated by a parser generator would be slightly more complex. A regular expression would also be slightly more complex.

I have written recursive descent parsers in the past, and if I remember correctly, the way I set things up, I had to handle leading list elements specially. It's possible that this was unnecessary and I was simply blinded to a simpler way of doing things because I was following the EBNF too strictly.

Edit: I noticed that we're not actually accounting for an empty list here. That makes things slightly more complex:

comma-separated = [ element, *(",", element) ];

Your code would need to test if there is an element or a list terminator before processing the element.
Yes and no.

No doubts about "traditional" wood elements (beams and the like) made from trees, they show quite good fire resistance, basically when on fire an outer shell of carbonized material forms and acts as a insulating layer that keeps the core stable for relatively long times.

But in many "modern" structures the large, structural parts tend to be made of composed materials, essentially smaller parts glued together.

In these cases the weak point becomes the glue used in them that may make the element fail well before a monolithic wood one.

Of course it depends on local codes and standards, but generally speaking these elements need to be protected by either anti-fire paint or gypsum panels.
> IRC generally has no barriers to account registration while Twitter generally requires a phone number. in the latter they pose in an insurmountable hurdle to all but organized and funded campaigns.

Since when is getting a new phone number that receive SMS an insurmountable expensive? There are literally dozens, perhaps hundreds of services selling this. Example [1] https://www.textmagic.com/sms-pricing/ seems to cost me 7c per text received with no account fees, and I only need it to receive a sign up message.

That is far from "organized and funded". People paid $8 to make troll accounts on Twitter when it was possible.

At this scale, change takes time to unfold due to bureaucracy and technical reasons.

Good question. No, I wouldn't support that. The current system works and there is still transparency. One of the two people in the conversation has a chance to review the content.

It may be that inboxes are different from public or open-ended conversations. What often happens in the moderation of public conversations on social media is that neither person is aware that any removal or demotion occurred. So, even the user(s) whose content was not removed does not have a chance to rescue the content from spam.

It seems like there's a massive cognitive dissonance in the UK. Everyone 'loves' the NHS, says nurses are underpaid and decries any attempt to privatise provision.
But everyone also has endless complaints about it. Useless doctors/nurses, appalling administrators and reception staff, mistakes with test results and communication and so on.
Sounds like the basis for an argument for refining the scopes such that it is abundantly clear which scopes write data and which ones do not.

No one should be surprised that allowing an untrusted program to write files and permissions through an operating system could lead to a security exploit.

Many would likely be cognizant of the risk of becoming a member of a botnet.

Allowing untrusted programs to control your digital services is not fundamentally different, in my current perspective.
In infosec stuff it is useful for stuff like bloodhound for example.
Dropping the metaphor, absolutely not looking to heckle those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons (those pedestrians unable to be fitted with forcefields).

The wilfully unvaccinated (the "ran their car off the road because they perceived (possibly incorrectly) some danger that they were attempting to avoid" group) are making it harder for those that are medically unable and those with chronic health concerns as the less virus circulating the less risk for the more vulnerable among us. While this generates feeling of ill-will within me, I personally am not advocating the heckling of anyone.

My, "not 100% full-proof, although they can help reduce the impact," analogy was addressing that while it is still possible to catch COVID even if you are fully vaccinated, it is less likely and usually the severity will be less than it will have been otherwise if you do catch it.
The advice in the subsection is just hilarious.

I believe it goes against the ToS for Microsoft GitHub to have more than one account per human.
Excepting C++ development, is slow build times really a hardware problem?

CI software in general is very slow. But even building locally, there are many projects that have just ridiculous build times because it's just not a priority at all. I've seen small-medium sized Java projects with a 25 minute test suite.

This has been in part due to extremely inefficient tests that keep assembling the entire system over and over each test, often with extreme redundancy in coverage, ensuring you need to keep running the entire suite whenever a test breaks. Nobody is going to run tests for half an hour unless you hold a gun to their head. So you make your change by 10 AM, usually something trivial, and then you spend the afternoon fixing the 30 tests that broke, running the suite over and over to find more broken tests to fix. It's almost comically inefficient.
It's called direct die cooling and that's pretty much what happens in the laptops. The reason why the IHS was introduced some 20 years back was the cracking of the silicon while mounting a cooler on top of it was quite easy.
just "continue" works :)
But most code consists out of control statements: either "def" for defining stuff, top-level assignments. or control-flow in method bodies: local variable assignement, if/else, for/while, return. The proposed notation only simplifies argument passing to called functions, which is, IMHO, not a problem that is needed to be solved
That's one of the special-cased things though. ChatGPT was deliberately taught it does not know the date, along with a few other things.

memory protection would be hard I think, right? The whole OS was based around message passing by just linking a message to the target process message port pointer.

"We used to harvest huge amounts of natural ice and ship them long distances. The first machines to make ice were dangerous and expensive and made lousy ice. Then the machines became good and nobody harvests natural ice anymore.

In this analogy, LLMs are bad at first and don’t have much impact. Then they improve to match and then exceed human performance and human writing mostly disappears."

I found the analogy so bad that I stopped reading the rest. Ice is a fixed thing. There are not many forms of ice, so once a machine can produce it, there is no need for natural ice anymore. Unlike writing. There is no "natural" form of writing. Each and every writing is mostly a craft. There is no limit to what and how you can write. There are also myriad forms of writing, for a number of purposes. Writing for entertainment for example is a genuine human product. It's so individual and complex as each human itself. A machine/a statistical program can never produce consistently new writings which entertain and satisfy humans enough to replace human writers. Unless the machine can become human themselves!
Clearly something has to change.

There is more. https://replicationindex.com/2020/12/30/a-meta-scientific-pe... lists many more chapters, and one of the comments refers to this paper https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1745691620964172 about system1/2 specifically:

> Popular dual-process models of thinking have long conceived intuition and deliberation as two qualitatively different processes. Single-process-model proponents claim that the difference is a matter of degree and not of kind. Psychologists have been debating the dual-process/single-process question for at least 30 years. In the present article, I argue that it is time to leave the debate behind. I present a critical evaluation of the key arguments and critiques and show that—contra both dual- and single-model proponents—there is currently no good evidence that allows one to decide the debate. Moreover, I clarify that even if the debate were to be solved, it would be irrelevant for psychologists because it does not advance the understanding of the processing mechanisms underlying human thinking.
Well, there's the Pascal-style argument. If you think there's a 10% chance that a Christian God who will send you to hell if you do xyz exists, then, well, that seems like a very significant risk (compare to a "10% chance of death") and worth taking pains to avoid.

On the other hand, if you think it's more like 1 in a million, and furthermore that there's a similar chance of other versions of God or other gods existing who have completely different demands on your behavior, then it's a lot more sensible to say "fuck it, I'm going to ignore such possibilities". Which is a practical difference.

I do agree that lots of people would probably do better if they were more comfortable maintaining uncertainty in general.

None of those things are an excuse. The dialog is there as a gateway to protect your data and GitHub's platform from the third party. If you're not going to review a clear dialog describing the permissions, then there is nothing that GitHub can do, other than decide that you cannot be trusted with this responsibility.

Also, drunk and high? You chose to be in those states. If you can't make the decision correctly in whatever state you currently are, then shouldn't be making decisions in that state. Take some responsibility for yourself.
