> > Well, they explicitely state, that they are ready to change a bit, if the shitstorm is big enough.

> Yes and there already was a massive shitstorm that they attempted to address before these additional details were leaked. That's the part that confuses me. It should have been crystal clear to WotC that there would be huge outrage over this leaked document. The chain of events so far has been:

> - Rumours started about changes in the new OGL to make it more restrictive but with little actual details. - Creators within the community start worrying and raising a shitstorm based on their negative presumptions of the new OGL. - WotC post about the new OGL on DndBeyond to address the rumours (https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1410-ogls-srds-one-d-d). They say they hadn't planned to share details so soon but felt they had to to reassure the community due to the shitstorm the unsubstantiated rumours had raised. The details they share seem reasonable, if more restrictive, and WotC say they want to make the process easy for creators. - The text of the OGL is leaked and it's waaay more restrictive than the blog post implied and arguable worse than most creators originally feared during the initial shitstorm.

Because from their perspective it's more advantageous to slit goose throat than share its golden eggs with competition allowing it to grow and in the future threaten wotc/hasbro position.

I hope the is emphasizes that just because your spouse is nice to you 9/10 times, because of that 1/10 times they argue with you you should give up all loyalty and good will towards them. After that one argument, all trust is lost.

I hope your realise life is more complicated. Yes meta may do this sometimes, but as an employer I’ve been fucked over plenty of times by flakey people. So what. You should judge each and every person and company for they are and their situation.
You have few really distorted, cynical perceptions and biased ideas about school.

First you're projecting your personal experience in your (I guess crap) school in a crap educational system to the norm. It's not.

Second, jobs having higher educational standards is a reflection of the booming of educated youngs, not the other way around.

Third, skilled uneducated professionals (e.g. plumbers, cooks, electricians, mechanics) make much more than graduates on average, it's a night and day difference, comes also debt free and you can start compounding much earlier. If money is your goal an education is actually not necessarily needed if not dangerous.

> Separately, burstiness compares the variations of sentences. Humans tend to write with greater burstiness, for example, with some longer or complex sentences alongside shorter ones. AI sentences tend to be more uniform.

Although I thought it would be trivial to work around this heuristic by specifying "use some short sentences and some long sentences", that didn't really work for me. When I said "use only short sentences", the average sentence length was a bit shorter. But I was surprised that this type of meta instruction didn't work better (at least in this version).
I don't think I've ever been inside a US home with adequate ventilation around the gas stove. Most places I've rented have only had internal filtered vents, usually with aged, unclean proprietary filters you couldn't swap out if you wanted to. Among those houses with external vents, most are too small, or don't have enough pull to keep air quality decent in the kitchen while cooking.

I used to really like gas stoves, but between the monthly hookup cost and the air quality issues, I'm happy with my current electric stove instead. Maybe once I buy a place, instead of renting, I can finally get induction.

I can't see any reason why you would need to save petabytes. Remember- at that scale, people think really hard about whether to pay the long-term storage and associated costs (the value of having this system should exceed its costs). The case for this already exists in (for example) cancer and other pharma.
You can also run it from any subdirectory as if they were in the root of a project (it searches the parents for the nearest justfile). E.g 'just build' from /proj is the same as when it is executed from /proj/lib1/module1/ without having to think about what the relative path should be.
> I think the main statement at the beginning of your comment is that they were and are exclusionary.

Now I'm wondering if you read my previous comment. I already stated: all things are defined by what they include and exclude. Excluding and including is amoral. It only takes on a moral character when you consider what is being included or excluded and why. Being "less exclusionary" could be bad, depending on your perspective! I asked you to be more specific, and you chose not to do so, although I can probably guess what you mean, I will instead wait on you to be explicit.

> Hmm. I'm not sure religion mostly spread by being as welcoming as possible to everyone. It's also not relevant.

Inclusivity and welcomeness are not the same thing. Christianity is inclusive because it posits every human to be a child of an all-powerful God, having instrinsic worth, and the capacity to be saved and exalted by that God. While conquest definitely played a part in the religion's expansion, it certainly isn't the only factor or even the primary factor.

> You call it an obvious thing yet ignore it in the following sentence.

No. No, I didn't. And the rest of your final paragraph doesn't make any more sense to me. For instance, I never said there had to be a primary emotion. I did, however, suggest that there should be one, at least relative to the subject of organs, specifically organ production and access.

This. People here are acting like make is installed by default on all Linuxes, but it absolutely is not. And the various BSD makes are very different to GNU make.

Make portability is bad enough on UNIX-like OSes, to say nothing of what a crapshoot it is on Windows. Even if you do have make installed on Windows, there's no guarantee that what it shells to is going to be able to run all the commands people tend to put in there.

Plain old shell scripting is much more portable than make, because a shell is definitely installed on every UNIX-like OS, and there is a very clear baseline of functionality that works in every Bourne/POSIX descendant. And it's quite likely to exist on a modern Windows developer machine too because bash is bundled together with Git.

My theory of writing developer scripts is to prefer the tool that already exists in the language you're developing. Gradle for JVM, npm for Node etc. Otherwise just use shell. Make feels like wrong tool for the job.
Actually, I have a little experience on that. The main thing is that it's pretty hard to convince "modern military" to kill their own families or neighbors. So, in case like Belarus, if you order your military to fight like 90% of population, you have very high risk of them turning the arms the other way.

But if those 90% of population can be silenced by a very small filtered force (personal guards, but better call them "riot police"), and keep the real "military" in barracks fed by propaganda 24/7, preventing talking to people -- then they would learn the truth anyway, but when it's too late, when all the leaders are already dead/jailed/exiled.

The whole point of legitimacy rests on public approval. What approval are we talking about if it needs "A-10 Thunderbolt" against your own people. If an american city, say, Portland, would start armed resistance, no President would ever order airstrikes against it, that would be the last day of their presidency. But they won't start it, because the whole system already accommodates Portland wishes into non-violent resolution.

A side note: Napoleon military genius rests a lot on the La Grande Armée, the largest army by far in Europe. But why other countries didn't have their own armies of the same size? Because only democracy can keep such a big army to turn the arms against its government, otherwise at some point giant army wishes may not align with its government (although it may take time of course). Democracy at least persuades people that they have a voice. So, in some sense, the Napoleonic wars made "democracy -> large army size -> democratic neighbors" transition.

Going back to Belarus example, if the "riot police" would have to deal with armed protestors, they would have it like million times harder, and I'm not sure of the outcome.
i wonder if it's possible for a plantation to exist without its slaves?

a labor prison camp without with its prison laborers?

etc.

i do think it's a semi-interesting story, but only semi-interesting because it feels like this Cartman "screw you guys, I'm going home" tale is pretty tired. this is just the latest example.

but they were like 'we shutting down... after a couple more years of exploitation.'

did i read that right?

makes me think of the plight of mothers and other 'unpaid interns', and "womens' professions" in america (teaching, nursing, etc.), generally. will there be more than just a few individuals who will stand up and say, "this is not right - it feels like the abuse is built into this model"?
I’m presuming that, if you go down this route, the robot is your lawyer.
In general, our debugging tools today are just terrifyingly crude. Some improvements have been made since my thesis in the industry state but overall... yuck.

To get us to the state of the art debugging research in the 90s:

- FOL scripting trap on every variable, function, etc. essentially you need this "monitor" or supervisor behind the scenes observing the total state of the system _as it exists in source code, not in hex_.
- reversible programs that can go forward and backward in program state & history. Not sure if the 90s research had a full "tree" of possible executions you could walk or if it was linear.
- if you attach something like a Lamport state matrix with the a transport layer you can move to a parallel/concurrent debugger

OTel and friends are essentially trying to build points 2 and 3 there, but its very mushy, since you're not actually capturing a full system state as part of the system, but whatever the coders chose to put in the system capture.

I remember in 2012, 2013 or so, Green River came out with a single core reversible debugger. gdb had one too in '09, or so.

No they don't and they shouldn't.
It's not plagiarism in the sense that you took stole else's work, it's plagiarism in the sense that you didn't produce it yourself and passed it off as your own.

So in an academic context, for grading your understanding, it becomes meaningless to grade something written by a machine instead of by you. In other contexts, it's totally fine.
Couldn't induction as well, if you have solar panels and maybe a battery in your house?
I've been involved hiring a fair amount and I'm pretty sure there's no blacklist, at least in the tech world. In fact, I once worked at a place where someone started at the company, worked a couple of weeks, then left because their preferred job offer came through. A couple of months later this person came back and said the other job wasn't working out and was hired again.

Despite the messaging constantly broadcast by HR departments, it really is just business, unless the organization is horribly dysfunctional. There are vindictive individuals out there, but you don't want to work for those people anyway.
> More specifically, although not everyone in semiconductor manufacturing requires a PhD, pretty much everyone has to be of above average intelligence and many will need to be in the top echelons of IQ.

The entire article is predicated on this asspull. Where's the evidence? Has someone done a study on the average IQ of TSMC workers? This assumes so many things:

1) That semiconductor manufacturing is more complex than manufacturing commonly done in the US. We make rockets! Complex pharmaceuticals! Nuclear weapons! What's the complexity factor of semiconductor manufacturing to those processes? 1.1x? 2x? 100?? 1000x???

2) That just because the manufacturing process is more complex, the skill of a line worker in that process must be higher than a line worker in a simpler industry. Maybe ASML makes very user-friendly machines? Again, it's possibly true, but it's just asserted as ground truth with no evidence.

3) That the higher skill required of workers must correlate 1:1 (or roughly so) with IQ. "A single speck of dust"--that sounds like workers must be detail-oriented and follow processes to the letter, and any veering off that path would have disastrous consequences. Does that sound like an environment where Feynman or Einstein or Curie would thrive just because they had "high IQ"?

And instead of justifying the central leap of logic the entire article is premised on, the author instead spends their time on such insights as "half the American population is below 100 IQ"...

> I’d suggesting googling the term “enclosure”, specifically with regard to England

Yes. I've heard this argument before. That doesn't change my argument though. Without industrialization, peasant life would be just not bad, if not worse because more people would be completing for the same resources.
I think it's different. In your example, what is the license Apple is using for its major product that was designed by Microsoft?

A software platform is not a license. But also, Apple moved to GCP, problem solved. This doesn't seem to be the same situation as Paizo's, is it?

Way more people die of cold each year it’s not even funny.

Huge wildfires are caused by preventing regular small fires until there is way to much material and the condition are perfect: heat, wind, dry. Then you get a massive fire that can’t be stopped.

Effectively the law of nature don’t care about what we think.

At the moment we are caught in a new religion of climate change. But more and more people are waking up.

Just the way you respond piling up argument show how it’s a religious battle for who is holly.

>Sadly, these are mostly types of common sense. The lack thereof is the real issue, not ones experience level.

I've spent a lot of time teaching rock climbing, and just about every aspect thereof. Something I saw again and again is that what I understood to be "common sense" was simply that which I had forgotten learning. Autobelay accidents are a really good illustration of this: the most important safety check is to confirm you're clipped to the lanyard by tugging on it, before you leave the ground. Verifying that your safety system works as expected is perhaps the most crucial of the safety practices taught in the basic belay class, and yet, noted guidebook author Rob Kelman had a pretty serious autobelay accident, after climbing for 40 some-odd years prior. He actually lectured me about how safety-minded he was, a year or two before that accident. I read about a rappel accident in Wyoming last year that would've been entirely prevented by backing up the rotten old rappel slings, and the victim never even mentioned checking said slings before trusting them. That's not an absence of "common sense", that's having too high an opinion of your own abilities. I've personally witnessed several climbing accidents, and the unifying factor was that the victims were people whose training and experience (in their minds at any rate) should have rendered them impervious to situations like what they had just landed in (frequently violently).

If there's any "common sense" advice I would give to people, it is to not let your guard down in the wild. No amount of training or forethought will let you completely avoid these situations, do not think you are too smart to avoid a bad situation. That's what I got from the article, and it certainly rings true for me.
> Is this the same situation with the OGL and Paizo? Is Pathfinder licensed under OGL version X+?

Yes.

There are two reasons for this, one is that the first edition of pathfinder had to be, because it used material from D&D 3.5, and then the second edition didn't want to break compatibility with the first edition's ecosystem, and the second is it would violate the copyright of the OGL itself to use a modified version without an "or later version" clause. The same would be true for the GPL, except the GPL expressly provides a mechanism to choose to use the or later clause or not.

What is the usecase of this? I get it.. they're tiny, but why? They're too small to handle properly (how do you pull it out if you have fat fingers?), they're too small to properly solder on wires to connect whatever else, and when there are 4 wires soldered on, they're not tiny anymore,... The only way I'd use them is for some kind of "hacking" situation, when an emulated keyboard is needed, and one of these can be installed and stay hidden in someone elses computer.

Otherwise, i'd use something like this (not afiliated):

Gas cookers in Irish homes breaching air pollution limits
In the article example:

double divMe(double a, double b){
return double(a/b);
}

The "return double(a/b)" is excessive, right? Returning a/b has the same effect, and I'd expect they compile to the exact same thing in this particular case.

Is there a reason to prefer the extra verbose version?

The excessive redundancy irks the perfectionist in me.
Core CPI ex-shelter was negative the previous two months. The way BLS measures shelter is notoriously laggy. High-frequency metrics of shelter inflation (e.g. Zillow data)[1] is falling off a cliff.

The upshot is that while CPI is probably over-measuring inflation today, and we're basically back to baseline, earlier in the year we were probably running closer to 11-12% inflation with the real housing numbers.

I don't think React has anything to do with it. Its just structuring URLs in the browser an appropriate way.

You'd need to read state off the url fragment (location.hash). You can feed that into your appropriate state management system, I suppose. Some (like react router) I think support hash routing, but I don't know that they support both has routing and history routing at the same time, so that may not be quite up to task if thats the case.

This was happening late last year when the big layoff was announced.

Here is my advice to anyone, particularly in this market: when you accept an offer, don't quit. Do not quit until you've started at the new company. Before you start they can just rescind the offer. After you start they need to fire you.

Remember you can just quit with no notice from your old employer. Is it ideal? No. But a lot of employers will have you doing nothing the last 2 weeks anyway. It'll just be handing off stuff and twiddling your thumbs.

But most importantly, the company won't hesitate to rescind an offer or fire you for reasons that have nothing to do with you, even when doing so puts you in an extremely precarious situation (eg you may lose your work visa and have to leave the country).

The company isn't your friend. it's a business and you have a business relationship. You're just terminating it, just like they can and do.

Great read, I like these kind of articles by The Atlantic.
One thing I want to comment on is this:

> Employers give us paychecks, but they also provide us with this additional commodity. Refusing to return to the office is akin to leaving it on the table

Nobody is denying the positives of going to the office, its just hard to justify 2 hours wasted everyday just to go to work.

Going to business events / exhibitions in your profession can achieve the same goal, but certainly not as easy to do as meeting the same people every (working)day, and building a deep relationship in the process.
