>software had to not only be downloaded, but it had to be hand built against each operating system

Back in the day, we didn't even have modems or compilers, let alone internet - so we would go to Ye Olde Computer Store and copy the disks of Fred Fish. That was how I got my first experience of Hack, which was great, and Emacs, which has always been a WTF for me.

I wonder if for some reason computer hardware had stopped getting faster and more complex at the stage of, say, a 25 MHz 486, how much different the world would be, or whether it would just force software to be consistently purged of cruft.

Unrealized (capital) gains…

Oh wow, what an amazing coincidence that the only thing that will work is directly tied to keeping the specific people in power and universally subscribing to their tax plan.
Agree with the theme of finding out your options, paying down debt, and broadly investing.

Another option, while not passive: buying property and long term renting it. You should aim to have it pay back the initial investment and provide passive income in retirement. Easier said than done but entirely possible

There is nothing illegal about looking like a scam. It is only illegal to be a scam.

I think the market making profits from Tether have been pretty substantial over the years. They charge very high redemption fees, which means that either they, or some close partner of theirs is the primary liquidity provider. Tether is usually mostly on peg, but it is frequently off by a few basis points, sometimes a few tens of basis points, and occasionally a percent or two. The liquidity at these levels is often quite deep, meaning you can earn fairly substantial profits by buying it up.

It's not just the headline moments when it's off peg, it's the daily liquidity churn of people willing to sell a few basis points below par, because they'd rather get out. Look at this price chart:

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tether/

And look at the daily volume Tether experiences. During 2021 it traded roughly ~$100B in volume per day. One basis point on that is $10M/day. Of course, they're not a counterparty to every Tether trade, not even close, but even a fraction of that is very good money, and remember it was frequently off peg by more than one basis point. Also keep in mind the point of comparison here, which is essentially short term treasury rates over the last several years. I think the MM profit on Tether has certainly been at least close enough to match if not significantly exceed the yield on cash equivalents over Tether's lifetime (until very recently).

Note that Tether is also frequently off peg in the other direction, and they can exploit that too by minting and selling USDT into the market when that occurs. Of course, that has nothing to do with them looking dodgy or not (it's correlated to sharp, unexpected liquidity demands by retail).
The legal analyses I've found fall on one of two sides:

1. IP licenses, especially one sided take it or leave it licenses, are revocable, sometimes even if the license expressly says otherwise because of restrictions on perpetuities.

2. A license turns into a contract when there is consideration from the other side. Licensing your own work under a license because of a virality/share-alike clause has mixed reactions on if its consideration but more fall on the side that it is than it isn't.

Neither of these positions would seem to be to distinguish the OGL from GPLv2 here, and position 2 would set a position where OGL is not revocable but MIT/BSD are.
For some value of "good," sure.
I'm still surprised nobody does the obvious.

Have a voice announce each floor. Much better than a stupid chime as each floor is passed, as then blind people have to count.

The voice is cheap as dirt, too. As the IBM PC showed, you can get perfectly intelligible voice from connecting a speaker to a 5V IO pin and turning it on and off rapidly, based on a recorded waveform. Wouldn't cost any more than a chime.

My furnace has a blinkenlight for its status. Slow blink, it's working ok. Fast blink, something wrong. I go have a look, it's blinking. Is that a fast or slow blink? I hate the people that design these things.

Many developers have no concept of efficient use of hardware resources (or what hardware resources even are), figuring they can just ask for more of whatever they need and the system will take care of the rest. When your program and anything else including the operating system needs to play nicely in KB or MB of RAM, you're much more careful. Why not be just as careful when you have GB of RAM?

Extensive use of bloated multi-dependancy-level libraries and frameworks when you could just write the code to do what you want to do in 1/100th of the time and space. Copy-paste coders who copy far more code than they actually need.

A lot of developers who grew up coding last century understand, and some later people, but an awful lot of development today is done by people who have no idea what is actually happening when they "read a file". And think that toast requires avocados. (sorry, that was mean). I know some young people who get it, many more who probably should be pursuing a psychology degree. (oops)

Sure, you could argue that the real coders have already done the hard work, and that's why you can just click a few buttons and end up with a working "program". But it really helps to actually understand what's happening under the hood.

Disclaimer: I was apparently so technology-poor that I wrote several quite useful programs in Apple II machine language while in college. Though I had no mouse, it was a far more pleasant experience than working without video, or persistent storage other than punched paper tape, on my high school's PDP-11.

Yup. Once you find yourself doing OOP in C, or doing metaprogramming with the C preprocessor, it's time to move to a more powerful language. You've outgrown C.
Yes, I had the exact same reaction and actually donated a print version of the book to the Internet Archive so they might create a digital ebook. It never materialized and I ended up reading the print version, and found it well worth the physical effort.

This can happen for either a rebase or a merge, though. In the case of a rebase, you’re left with commit(s) on top of main, which are entirely broken. In the case of a rebase, you have a working dev branch, a working main branch up to the merge, and a merge commit with broken code. The merge results in a much better state, because you have a working version to compare against. In addition, the history makes it clear that the merge caused the breakage, and that it wasn’t solely an issue with the new feature.

They seem to be trying to license some things that are just not covered by copyright:

I think, probably, yes. 1984 is a useful novel; it's a criticism of human behavior on one level, it also tells us where we came from, and I think is still relevant and applicable to some nations today, who are still keeping citizens in relative poverty (even if some of them have iphones now) and swiping them for re-education; I definitely wouldn't be removing it from reading lists.

I think it fails to be an effective critique of the failings of the modern west (which it was never intended to be anyway).

We use this clunky C++ dep injection framework at my job that our most veteran SWEs swore never to use, but one day it became mandatory (lmao) for sorta unrelated reasons. The biggest issue is the initial learning curve; you don't gain much out of it for what you put in. It doesn't even catch bugs at compile time. Once you get it, you think of your code as having multiple main.cc's, and everything below that is regular code. So I think it's dumb, but it's not that big a deal.

When I write my own NodeJS backends, I just pass around a big object of all the global-ish deps like DB handles and thick clients. That works predictably and avoids the headaches you get meticulously plumbing everything through. So far I haven't felt any pain from this to push me to a DI framework.

There are far more important issues to consider in your system. If you're so concerned about globals, maybe you're making too big of a monolith service.
Yeah, so much of IF puzzles is EXAMINING or otherwise manipulating specific THINGS hinted at but not necessarily explicitly highlighted in the description to reveal further important details, which a prompt-generated image purporting to show the whole scene would tend to gloss over, get wrong or (if exposed to the detailed description of the thing) reveal too much of. Artists working on point and click type equivalent puzzle games have to be clever about that.

I do wonder what it'd be like to have images accompanying something like Emily Short's Counterfeit Monkey which works brilliantly because it's all wordplay. I get the feeling the answer is "less engaging" and "less intuitive", but at least - procedurally generated or otherwise - they wouldn't look like stock photos.

I do still consider myself a follower of Osho. I technically haven't taken sannyas (this is the name of the process of formally joining Osho as a disciple and receiving a new name -- eg 'Sheela' or 'Devaraj' -- and mala), but these days, in my opinion at least, that isn't a critical aspect of being part of the community. (FYI, sannyas is also a term in hinduism for renouncing your life and becoming a monk, basically, but 'neo-sannyas,' created by Osho, is renunciation-free; you're basically just saying, I'm serious about this meditation thing).

I thought Wild Wild Country was an excellent documentary about a really, really juicy and evocative topic. I'm bummed that they didn't spend at least a LITTLE more time on the question of "why do these people like Osho so much" (and what does Osho have to say), but I understand that that wasn't really the point of the documentary, which was to focus on a wild, explosive story. To me, an equally interesting story is why the heck were a bunch of highly-educated, independent doctors and lawyers moving out into the middle of nowhere to be self-sustaining and celebratory? Why did they seem so much happier than everyone else in our society, at least at certain points? But the story that sells better is 'why did this lady try to kill this other guy.' I'm hoping there will be a sequel that goes in greater depth.

Have a blessed day!
There is a difference between "all orcs must be killed and a more nuanced scenario.

Also what you do on your table won't be policed, but publications, like pre generated adventures which are more nuanced are typically also more interesting.
Yes, but that only says that rebasing is no worse than merging with respect to testing the branch ahead of time. With respect to identifying when a bug was introduced, or the intended effect of a change, rebasing is worse because it cannot distinguish between a bug introduced during a feature implementation and a bug introduced during the rebase. The history that would be needed to distinguish between those cases has been thrown away.

Only Islam get that privilege partly due to French magazine publisher bloody attack years ago and Palestinian guilt. The rest like Buddhism, Taoism, Catholic, Protestant, Sikhism, etc usually don't get much specialty treatment. Take Sikhism that require carrying a Sikh dagger and having long hair, I known many universities blatantly forbid it. The main reason is because a small minority of Muslim devotees tend to be very violent when it comes to their religion "honor". And many Westerners are scared of retaliations.
Still, with modern NVMe SSD speeds, usually the network will be the bottleneck. My system with a budget WD Blue gets a decent 1800MB/s sequential write (which somehow caused Win10 to freeze and my taskbar to disappear for a few seconds :/ ) and 2600MB/s sequential read, so even if everything else is unoptimized and the file has to be copied it will still take <1s for your hypothetical 1GB file. Copying the file over a 1Gb network link will take an order of magnitude longer.

Companies don't produce joy, but your own work might. For example, I know many software developers who love writing code, even the code specifically for their job. If you love solving infrastructure puzzles, you might find joy at any at-scale software company (that isn't contrary to your values of course).

You bring up a good point, though, that "joy" isn't just the immediate work at hand, but also the entire context that you're in. I agree with that. Perhaps the argument about work alone, makes sense under the assumption that the larger context is also compatible with your values. If not, perhaps no specific activity will be joyous, and joining a different organization is the only solution?

So perhaps "joy" is still a valid thing to seek, but you're pointing out that it's more complex than just "do I like my current task?"

We're Americans. If we practiced DBAD, pretty much everything would be different.

Of all our American flaws, "It's not illegal for me to be a dick and therefore I am going to be on" is perhaps the one we're proudest of. (Followed, perhaps, by "It's illegal for me to be a dick but you can't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt and that's as good as legal" and "It's illegal for me to be a dick but nobody is going to bother prosecuting therefore it's as good as legal.")

It would be great if we all practiced Don't Be A Dick. But for those who are most harmed by people being dicks, we need to figure out ways to protect them legally, because otherwise people will be a dick to them as hard as they possibly can. And every time you try, people will say "Nobody is being a dick to me therefore nobody needs to be protected."
