Thanks for the feedback. The page [1] has been updated to clarify this detail. The documentation is installed with the package (Help menu, or press F1 to open it), but if you would like to contact me @mikelabatt I can send you a copy.

Me and my colleague Nicola were the ones who asked for these permissions. Iconic demos like Roots 2.0 and World of Commodore could not be included in the historical context for the reasons you mentioned. If someone does not want their work to appear in a commercial book project or in an electronic curation, I respect that. We could do better, like featuring more recent works. Perhaps one day it will be done, like the website (OTOH, some say that it has a Craigslist-like appeal to it). This always was a niche project driven by passion, and resources are tight.
You don't actually make that big a sim.

You just fiddle with the render distance so the sims think it's that big.
I've heard nothing but the warning of a massive recession since about 2015, half the pundits are telling me the world is going to end in the next six months and the other half say the pump is primed and the good times will be back in the next 6 months. I guess we'll find out who's right in the next 6 months...or not.
Eh Amazon’s P/E has settled down since the wildness of 2014-2016 so this isn’t the market being crazy, Amazon really does have the earnings to back it up.
“I’m a member of a minority group that is currently experiencing an uptick in violence from the American public.”

That’s horrible, it’s insane the lengths people will go to satiate their misperceived anger.

What are the violent acts being committed?

> For example, we have very poor engagement in some universities I teach at and I've suggested simply paying the students to attend classes.

> Of course the chancellors, denes and other jumped-up administrators think I'm as mad as a box of frogs. But it's they who are utterly stuck in a tiny world-view, prisoners of preconceptions.

Would be an interesting experiment to say the least.

Charge $X (tuition), every day they show up to class refund $Y (something like $20?), and then at the end of the semester refund an additional amount based on final grade (a = $Z ($500?), b = $Z-250, etc.)

Basically make it so that good students get a discount compared to 'bad' students, but I feel like this would probably go up against some legal issues somewhere.
What does it mean to open-source or MIT-license a "file format"?

The MIT license is a license about copyrighted software, allowing people to use/modify/publish that software. But a file format isn't a piece of software.

Are you open-sourcing the specification document for the file format? (people are still free to write software that reads+writes the file format even if the specification document isn't open-sourced).

Are you open-sourcing your particular library for reading the file format? (I'm confused here, because you stressed that the file format was so simple, so I'd have expected it easy and maybe even desirable for many people to come up with libraries for reading+writing the file foramt?)
> It's very likely life exists elsewhere

How can you support this statement? It requires that Origin of Life is sufficiently probable, and we cannot conclude that from the known evidence (that life originated early on Earth is not sufficient, as we don't know how long the conditions suitable for OoL persist in a new solar system.)
I use Pocket Tube [1] and I absolutely love it. I started using it 1 month ago so can't really estimate how much time it's saved me.

Before that I always found YT frustrating and never cared about subscriptions because, and correct me if I'm wrong, the subscription system is disorganized. It doesn't make sense to me. I found myself having a hundred subscriptions that I didn't know how to follow in an organized manner.

With this extension now I've organized subscriptions into groups, which get integrated into the UI in the sidebar, and you can set notifications for whichever group you'd like. It has more features - like the "Deck" feature, where you add a few columns of either playlists/groups/channels. You can also view all the latest vids from each subscription group, or all your subscriptions and filter them by groups.

I'm quite happy that I suddenly noticed I had this pain point and quickly found the perfect solution. It's one of my favorite extensions.

Facial recognition and car tags should be illegal (among many other tracking methods).
$employer procures workstations equipped with 64C Threadripper Pro + A6000 48GB GPUs for CG artists. They haven't said what they're actually paying but list prices of those machines are north of 15k. Devs get a similar setup except smaller GPUs.
Tinker.

Probably build a small solar-powered light, or see how much usage I could get out of a solar-powered microcontroller, or even just see how small of a thing I could make that still collects power.

The technological advances we (society) make are endlessly fascinating to me. I just want to have more of them in my hands.
> bullshit, not supportable from the evidence

Two different things. You can't prove there aren't, and I can't prove there are.
So I dated Kazakh woman for a while. This is true, but the title is misleading. In a nutshell, when two people elope, it's officially considered a kidnapping, to save face for the family. But no one get prosecuted and everyone knows what's going on.

She said the only realistic thing, in the movie Borat, was the kidnapping scene, and even that was outlandish.

Gonna go read the article now and see if I need to make any updates.
Acting in silent movies is entirely different from what came later. That's why most silent stars didn't make it into the "talkie" era.

Just like aliens in 60s movies speak English and are obviously people in disguise, you just have to adhere to the conventions of the time.

Similarly, the ways to make the script go forward are usually quite different from what came later, because of the constant interruption required by text inserts.

Last, the musical score is important. A bad one can make of break a silent film (versions from archive.org and similar sites often have random music instead of a true score).

So you may need to learn the way of the silent movies before really appreciating them (out of slapstick comedy such as Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton).
Lithium-6 is not as cheap as coal per energy delivered after all is said and done.
I don't know Kyrgyzstan. But the story itself says:

> In response, the Kyrgyz parliament raised the maximum sentence for bride kidnapping from three to seven years.

and the tale at the beginning of the story is rare and extreme enough to spark a national campaign of outrage. I'm not saying that this phenomenon does not exist, but I do wonder if the Economist is not up-playing this for curiosity/shock value.
OTOH, there's a huge amount of content out there that's formally and legally in the public domain already but not really findable/discoverable via detailed cataloging, or easily usable (and reusable) by 21st-c. standards. Zillions of random page scans up on Google Books, Hathitrust and the Internet Archive. If what you genuinely care about is expanding access to the legacy of our intellectual history, the low-hanging fruit really is very low.

Beyond clear cases like ensuring preservation of materials that are obviously at risk, it's kinda hard to argue and lobby for a shorter copyright term when we're collectively ignoring what's long been available for the taking.
This resonates - a meaningful life is far important to pursue, and meaning for the most part is tangible - you know immediately when you are stuck in a rut, that means time for a change.

Happiness is too fleeting IMO.
That is about as large of an endorsement as I can conceive. Will definitely have to check it out!
All of this IP law was written well before the large-scale adoption of the internet which has greatly accelerated the proliferation of ideas and and largely commoditized ingenuity. It's insane we haven't lowered the current timeline. Some commenters are mentioning the current folks in power who stand to lose a lot pushing back on change. That's probably the most plausible reason I can think of but curious of any others.
I refuse to argue with stupid.
People like Chamath Palihapitiya, who can probably do both. All while lecturing us about how bad our society is and how he's ashamed of having been part of Facebook (I'm sure he'll say the same about SPACs later).
Thinking of gifting this. Is this for adults or would you think a budding composer aged 10 would benefit from it?

How does one look for these? Looking for junior roles.
You know, I gotta say that time has not been kind to Borat. The casual racism in the service of satire feels pretty dated today and not in a good way.
I noticed that the number of recruiter messages I get on LinkedIn was proportional to the number of replies I give to the messages in my inbox. When I'm active, I get more interest. Like, going from 0-1 new recruiter messages to 5-7 a week. Maybe I'm imagining things, but it would make sense that if you just have your profile set to "Looking for work" but you're not actually talking to anyone, you're sending a signal that you're not actively looking, and you're going to fall to the bottom of the pile. Send a few "Sorry for the delay in responding. $YOUR_PRODUCT sounds interesting. Can you tell me more," messages to the most recent messages in your inbox and see if it gets things unstuck.
Laws around collusion might vaguely apply, but it would be a real stretch imho.
Flexelint. The compilers have gotten better over the years but I wouldn’t consider doing C/C++ development without it.

It has saved me hundreds of hours of debugging since I first started using it in 1990. The very first day it found a ‘write past end of array’ in some code written by a Pascal programmer which was doing a[sizeof(a)] = ‘\0’; that would have stymied us for days.
I possibly misunderstand, but are you suggesting there's an NVidia 4090 on die with the Raptor Lake or Threadripper in some variant of either?
If you mean the world is divided into frequentists and Bayesians, you're right. I think most people who throw around the Drake Equation are frequentists.

On this one, I'm neither. There is no way to put a number on it.
Can I 3d print this?
I think in many contexts this would be desirable. If someone was belligerent and gets banned for starting a fight on Delta airline, I wouldn't want to sit next to him on my United airline flight. Venues should have the freedom to use whatever judgment/algorithm they feel will keep their customers safe, including sharing lists of troublemakers. If the list is too inaccurate, it stops doing its job and becomes a net-no-help to the venue using it.
At the very least we can say he is gloriously Messi.
Extortion. "Squeegy kids" use the implicit threat of violence against you or your car to extort payment from drivers. The "service" they provide is worse than worthless, they make your car filthy. They're an absolute menace.

I don't see why cities should have to resort to paying them off. They surely violate numerous laws with their scheme, anything from doing business without a license to jaywalking. But of course to enforce such laws you need cops to chase them down and arrest them in broad daylight, which risks bad optics for the city if the cops get too overzealous. Still, better policing is the correct answer.

I seriously doubt paying them off even could work. Why would they not take the payment then do it anyway? You'd still need cops to arrest them to know which didn't stay true to the agreement.
The BT46B being banned after a single race is a bit of an urban legend. It was not banned and was perfectly legal to run for the remainder of the year.

The background to why Gordon Murray (designer) decided to go with the fan design was the flat-12 engine used by Brabham didn't allow venturi tunnels along the side of the car (flat-12s being too wide) so he had to find another way to respond to the then-new ground-effect others were exploiting.

A neat legal trick was discovered: a fan could be installed on the car as long as its primary purpose was to cool the motor. Primary purpose in this case meant, and GM got a lawyer's opinion on this, at least 51% of the volume of air went to cool the engine. Brabham was very clear this fan sucked the car to the ground but also proved to the governing body that most of the air went to cooling, so it was deemed legal for the rest of the year but the loophole was to be closed for the following year. Stories by Andretti about the BT46 throwing stones and being dangerous to other drivers was complete rubbish made up by Colin Chapman to get the car banned as he saw Brabham would walk away with the championship. In effect the tips of the fans never moved particularly fast (ballpark 50mph along the edges) so it was never dangerous to other drivers.

The actual story as to why it was withdrawn is Bernie Ecclestone, then owner of the Brabham team was also the head of the Formula One Constructors Association and the other manufacturers threatened to leave the association if he didn't withdraw the car. Seeing the bigger picture of securing TV and advertising rights to F1, Bernie withdrew the car after a single race.
This has nothing to do with the livelihood of the farmers
Really? You don't see how our civilization is stronger than it's ever been? You don't see how we are on the verge of expanding beyond our home planet? Just, don't see it huh? Perhaps you're not the person that should be explaining to everyone what is painfully obvious and what is not then.
There were Harpsichords with stops, much like those of an organ to try to give it more expressive character, as well as multi-clavier harpsichord models.
We're having a contest to remix public domain material that will be judged at our in-person Public Domain Day party on January 20th! Check it out: http://blog.archive.org/2022/11/30/public-domain-day-2023-re...
When the good students are Asians and the bad students are minorities, I can see this being canceled pretty quickly as being a racist policy. It makes sense to my engineer’s brain though. Why wouldn’t you want a meritocracy.
Seriously, now that starlink is out there are wide swathes of the country that become a lot more feasible to live and work in.

I am in a growing town that is quickly turning into a sprawling suburbia that I wanted to escape from originally and already have my eye on a little town that is a lot more slow paced and remote.
Tough shit. People can resell things they own, like for example tickets, so assuming she and her daughter obtained tickets legally (directly or indirectly, I have no reason to doubt they did, though I don't know for sure), by that act she was already given explicit permission to enter the venue and remain there for the duration of event.

If they don't like it, they can sell named tickets, and BTW since Girl Scouts are known for being vicious hooligans, maybe they should have instituted football-like regime up to and including stadium bans for their mothers.
> I think the probability of there being other life is much closer to 100%. There just has to be.

When you find yourself waving your hands vaguely and saying "it just has to be" that's a red flag that you're fooling yourself.

No, there's nothing about the situation that requires life "has to be" out there.
Then what happens as humans solve aging and no one dies? There should be an age limit regardless of natural or corporate persons.
That's kinda the biggest selling point of Obsidian...? It's all just markdown files. Markdown is a standard format, so you can open it in many other apps as well.
Instead of thinking about jobs, think about startups that solve problems. You can "hire" the perfect AI or robots as employees.
San Francisco is what happens if you answer “no” to this question.
I think you’re lying to yourself because you’re an EV fan.

You have to consider what the pushers are saying and if there’s sufficient pushback when they’re misaligned.

Currently that doesn’t happen. Currently you face everything up to deplatforming for speaking against the narrative that EVs are the one true solution.
Are they finally using the 5 pins of the cable? Midi 1 uses only 3 !!!
the #1 influence on the american economy is the Fed, and if they raise interest rates - which is likely - then it will cause a recession. (see Volcker)

of course there are no guarantees, we can't predict the timing or severity of the markets' reaction, but its not a complete fiction of the media and mood.
The extension redirects the home path to the subscriptions path so that is what it's doing, just automatically.
As was posited in another comment, if we're encouraging innovation here, that would help the point. Encourage creators to have to create again.

As an aside - I'd imagine for most works, the vast majority of earnings would come from the first 20 years. I mean, people aren't flocking to the theatre to see Titanic anymore, yeah? I'm sure there's some streaming deals and licenses to show and whatnot, but nothing like theatre earnings.
Give hstr a try: https://github.com/dvorka/hstr

It's saved me countless hours over the years as it's just so much better than regular CTRL-R. I also find it to work better than fzf.
Good point -- counting all the stars in the observable universe is already a big overestimate of the ones that could support life.
10 deaths are a tragedy.

1,000,000 deaths are a statistic

Matt and Trey are geniuses behind South Park and the Book of Mormon. I suspect much of the valuation is based on them, not the tech.
Maybe they'll silently drop something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TVohXHjLro
I was born and lived most of my life in Minnesota, and got into outdoor activities pretty heavily in 2020. I’ve never heard of what you describe and it would be a terrible idea. I’ve only come across one bear in the wild and it bolted away upon noticing me. Bears that aren’t afraid of humans are pretty bad news.
Devbox 0.2.0: Automatic Nix installer, plugins, and background services
I wonder, why would you like your children to pursue a low paying career unless you are already relatively rich/financially "stable"? It's a great adventure to live on the edge when you are young but unfortunately we are not forever young. Add a wife, kids and a low paying job and the story gets dramatic. Not to mention any health issue.
It's so curious to me that functional disciples wear this as a badge of honor. In nearly all other facets of software development, we get badgered that it's better to produce code your entire team understands (code is read more often than written and all that) than code which only makes sense to you. If I ran around talking up the zen of single letter variables, my team would shoo me out of the room, and almost nobody on HN would applaud me for it. But for some reason, functional programming tends to get a pass, despite it just not clicking for a large swath of team mates.
Nice EDC item. I sometimes use the mini one-handed too, but that requires all fingers and must look awkward.
> That appears plainly wrong.

Appearances can be deceiving.

> More people want silk than there is supply of silk. The value of silk has nothing to do with it's labor cost.

Sure, but it has everything to do with the labor value - because again, cost and value are not necessarily the same thing. If more people want silk than there is supply of silk, then that increases the value of the silk itself and in turn increases the value of the labor to produce said silk.

This effect really shouldn't be that unintuitive. If more people want programmers than there is a supply of programmers, then obviously this would raise the value of programmer labor, no? Why would this be any different for a product of said labor?

> There is no seller/buyer relationship which changes the scarce nature of silk and thus can decrease it's value.

Sure there is. Do you think that wholesale and retail prices are always identical?
I think AlbertCory was saying that to assign specific probabilities, as the Drake equation does, is BS.

To say "there's probably life out there", in a vague, speculative sense of probably, is a different sort of thing.
Same here. The C Prelude, though: that one I can do. No chords; no eighths; no dotted notes.

At one point in his career, Bill Evans was dissatisfied with his playing, and spend a year or so sight-reading the WTC. But then, he was Bill Evans.
It would be a plus if paidlink.to actually made a call to the link before accepting payment, and put up a warning / stopped the transaction if it didn't get a 200, "We're sorry but thingyouwanted.com/enticing.html isn't currrently available, please try again later."
For $20/year, you can get a UPS MyChoice paid account that will deliver to a different address, and if you designate a favorite UPS Access Point, you can redirect all packages there for free - if anyone ships UPS to you, it will go to the designated AP. It also automatically upgrades UPS SurePost (UPS long distance, USPS local delivery) to UPS Ground, meaning it will be directed to your favorite AP.
