So you're saying they could grow to 1.2B ARR and you still wouldn't know anyone who would pay for it? I need to get in on this.

We need to spend less. This is not sustainable.
I wish you had included a brief description of what it does. Commercial piracy is generally bad; if someone is collecting money to basically operate your software without kicking anything back to you they're certainly ripping you off, and maybe their customers too. OTOH if you have a free academic license the piracy may be by people who are simply curious but lacking in academic credentials.

I sometimes reverse engineer things for fun or curiosity, though I don't generally use or redistribute it. TBH I don't understand the psychology of licensing/pricing. Some commercial software is excellent and seems worth every penny the vendors ask for (and I am happy to pay for such software). I've seen a few products that cost thousands to license and are just dreadful. I have the impression that such products are sometimes not intended to be marketed as such, but their usage is licensed as part of a consulting deal, effectively borrowing the academic reputation of the person behind it.
I currently use a Model-M clone. It's 75% of the way to perfect for me.

I frankly do not know about battery life.

I almost exclusively use the laptop at home when sitting in my super comfy lounge chair all day to code.

The most I traveled while working (text editor, compiling Rust code from time to time) was four hours. I believe to recall half of the battery was left after that.

Maybe some specific accounts were hard-coded to have credit lines of certain amounts, and they just changed the one for Alameda from 0 (or whatever) to 65 billion.

Not uncommon for a startup to hack features into code directly before there's a db column and frontend to support updating values through an admin interface.
I agree with this, we managed to sometimes create SPAs faster even though we had to duplicate template/initial page logic on the server side for each page in case of direct link/page refresh. Nowadays sometimes figuring out which prop you misused from a 3rd party component based on a 100 lines TS error takes more time than the actual coding.
Totally plausible. The credulous awarding of PR points by tech workers on HN whenever a blog post describing severance > $0 is even more stupid without that information asymmetry in mind.
Having to install binary manually is extra friction: you can't rely on a tool to manage it for you, you have to have a place for storing them, you have to remember where it is if you want to delete it.

I wouldn’t say that American English speakers actually consider pizza to be a member of the same pie family as apple pie. We will refer to pizzas as “pies,” but without a very clear context of pizza, “pie” is almost always going to be interpreted as the family of sweet round desserts.
The only implementation of IEEE754 decimals I've ever seen is in Python's Decimal package. Is there an easily-available implementation anywhere else?
I think contrasting with Linux is indeed interesting. Apple deserves also more flak for this because they so long were running with lines like "it just works" (old favorite of Jobs), and using "quality" as marketing point; throwing stones in glass houses I say. At least on Linux it feels more acknowledged that stuff is complicated and occasionally break, instead of living in some weird kafkaesque experience where you are not sure if you are just imagining things or is everything broken.
Looking again, your server is rejecting their HELO message. You seem to be using a modern cipher yet requiring a legacy (http/1.1) protocol, which I suspect is the issue. Adding an advertisement for TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 to every TLS 1.3 handshake worldwide would add a lot of gigabytes of global bandwidth, for support of an awfully unusual configuration. Those 4 bytes in every http request globally probably isn't worth it just for you.

Take a look at this trace [1].

I think it's pretty clear the client is offering a bunch of things, including TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, and your server just replies 'nah, goodbye'.

Perhaps your server doesn't like the ESNI extension?

Pie and slice are units of measurement for the concept pizza. Much like you don’t order “two pastas” saying “two pizzas” sounds stupid to people in the parts of US famous for pizza. Bread works the same way, it comes in loaves and slices. You don’t buy “two breads” without sounding stupid.
But isn't that the same vulnerability to Docker's business that Docker Swarm had?

The whole of Docker Desktop isn't replaceable with a drop-in alternative today but parts of it are, and the rest could be very soon if an org with the resources and ability keeps developing things like podman.

So what would Docker as a company do when the equivalent of what happens to Swarm happens to Desktop? Pivot again?
> Simply put, text manipulation is not at all a productivity bottleneck for me

I once believed this and this comment could have been written by me verbatim. But I decided to seriously give vim a try and I'm still very happy 8 years later. I don't know for sure that vim makes me a better programmer, but going from vim to another editor is a bit like going from your large desktop screen to a 13" laptop working at a café. I can do the work but it's just slower and not as enjoyable.

Maybe it's not so much vim specifically, although I enjoy the modal editing part, but just 100% investing in a single editor and getting really good at navigating and editing code with it. It's always fast and responsive and always available. Before vim I used different editors for different jobs, Emacs, BlueJ, Eclipse, Visual Studio, Sublime, XCode etc and I never truly invested in any of them. Once you make a decision to just use the one editor, it's a powerful thing.
I don’t understand your argument. Just because times have been bad in the past doesn’t mean that America is “going in the right direction”

Also the 6 rounds of QE post 2008 is absolutely %100 unprecedented in US history. We have never ever increased the money supply like this. This activity combined with an abundance of cheap credit is what’s creating bubbles in housing, equities and other assets.

I’ve done a lot of research on TOS and my findings are that TOS is A) very difficult to diagnose even with diagnostic imaging and B) considered much less-common than Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, and Tendonitis.

I’ll add that all three ortho docs did those “provocative tests” for CTS, like bending my wrists, and NONE made my symptoms worse. This alone should have been an indicator that the nerve impingement was happening closer to the spine. Meanwhile, the provocative tests for TOS almost immediately and drastically worsened my symptoms.
It could be a simple boolean check, right?

I’d like to think of ChatGPT as computer generated content. It’s a reflection of the world we live in, and the tech culture too.

Everything is centralised right now. So disclosures, trust, transparency don’t mean anything. Atleast not on a web that we don’t own.

Also, since when have humans being transparent. We’re all data collectors as our brain is aggregating thoughts of others and those of our own and then sharing them with technologies.

Now that technology showed us the cons of a centralised system, it spooked plenty.

The future is reminiscent of Westworld, Dark, Matrix. Atleast on internet — where everything is code.
HN auto-strips “how” from the beginning of titles when submitting. The submitter can re-add it by editing the submission. Always check the title after submitting.
Maybe some don't know, but it's not because he hides it. There's plenty of media out there. It's all recorded. Decks go out to the public.

That's one of the most off-putting parts of the whole operation. It's overtly undermining the direction of the electorate.
I don't agree with the storytelling being awkward and the characters wooden. I do feel like the novels don't leave much to do after you've finished them, while in some other works you can dig and dig and dig and never stop, but I don't know if this is true or just me.

As for the sci-fi elements, just like with Hyperion I read these books as fantasy. It's in the future and they've got spaceship and robots, sure, and they often try to explain the technologies, but they do that in fantasy too when explaining how magic works.

In general I don't think much about stuff like "objective quality" when reading or watching something, and prefer to dig into the actual story or universe, or the story behind it (how did they get the idea and stuff like that).
>most results with least effort
I would ask chatGPT. I'm a C#/Unity guy that was able to clobber together a Linux nginx server to host a pre-made php forum (vichan).

One big bugbear was that line numbers wouldn't show in emacs, though my init.el was configured to show line numbers in all programming langs. I needed php-s or some nonsense that chatGPT acknowledged as correct when I told it (after resorting to Google->Stack Overflow), but for a while it was insisting on an outdated emacs package that did not add line numbers to php files.
Unfortunately, it takes 6 months to a year to fully cultivate a strong culture around a process.

Two factors cause this to be an exercise in futility:

1. Job mobility

People are incentivized to job hop. Most employees are ramping into a new role, coasting/leetcoding while they interview elsewhere, or preparing to transfer to a new role in your company.

In a 1.5 year employment window in a given role, a team member may only be getting 6 months of productive time in the new work paradigm.

2. Capricious Management culture

The new era of tech has ushered in a fickle type of boss who has constant pivots, realignments, and shifting priorities. They speak of some utopian future for your organization and paint a picture that everything is always 'in transition'.

This means that nobody seriously considers your CICD or Agile paradigm to be a permanent thing... you only get half hearted attempts to follow it for the 8 months that it lasts before a new paradigm is forced onto your group.
I wonder: if the US spend and then inflate the debt down to reasonable levels (in terms of buying power) they got a lot of stuff from china basically for free, right?
Working in Rainy Conditions
It was later added it to the paid copy of the game and it's similar to a 'very hard' difficulty where the normal strategies of development don't apply and you have to include DRM most of the time to break even on per-game costs. Completing it was a difficult achievement.
For Google in particular they can see the 2023 just fine[0], but I think it's needless complexity when you could just do it server side. Maybe it's nice for a rarely updated static site though.

You said "Juicing ARR in a dying company is not rocket science" - I'm saying it is rocket science and that it's way hard. The fact there aren't any examples makes me feel like I'm correct in saying it's not easy.
>But above all, make sure not to confuse a "pirated copy" with a "lost sale". In 99% of cases, the Venn diagram of those has very little overlapping area.

Very true. If they were never going to pay anyway, you haven't lost anything if they use a crack. It still irks though!
After years of just ... avoiding the issue of why I can't play my local mp3s and flacs with my iPhone, I finally broke down this year and searched for a decent app for this, and the answer is an app called Doppler. It's not free, but it's not very expensive, and the developer is very responsive. Recommended.
> the folks who've built successful small businesses around the SRD and the OGL aren't going to forget what they just learned

Regardless of what happens, THIS is ALWAYS a good lesson to keep in mind when businesses are built on the platforms of others.
Of course ultimately the distinction between files/filesystems and databases is not that clearcut; I'd argue that in many ways filesystems are just databases promoted at kernel level.
$65B seems oddly specific - could it be that they just set the liquidation limit for Alameda's account to 65,535 (max 16bit unsigned int), in millions of dollars?
> Almost all of the research points to piracy having zero impact on sales for example

This is probably often true, based on the product and its price point, but pirates using it as a blanket truism isn't good. There are a lot of possible situations.

Real life example: movie piracy may not generally affect box office, but an arguably bad movie leaked before release date will create a cloud of gossip that could tank its opening weekend. If previewing a film for reviewers will affect the box office of a bad movie, 100,000 copies being watched two weeks before release certainly will.

Edit: nevermind. I guess I didn't have enough coffee because I completely misinterpreted this.
I honestly assumed this would be yet another safety issue, but it turns out it's just another example of my nemesis: the ease by which a reference becomes a value and triggers a copy. It's super annoying because the the messaging is "use references to be a pointer that cannot be null", which fails on multiple levels - this one where it becomes a value copy, but also that references can happily be null (many years ago I filed a feature request on clang asking for a non-null attribute that was rejected because references exist).
Why is this woman working as the head of the treasury now? I thought the whole point of the Fed being outside the control of democratically elected officials was to clearly separate the Fed from the Treasury, but i guess its all just the same people running both?

Maybe it's true at some companies, but it has nothing to do with agile / scrum, but letting non-tech people who love confrontation take over engineering leadership from engineers who are afraid of confrontation (which sounds like the disaster it is).

Robert Martin (one of the creators of the agile manifesto) explains it quite well in ,,Clean Code'' presentation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EmboKQH8lM

The whole presentation should be a must watch by all engineers so that they understand what _is_ agile to the point when they know it better than product / project managers / non-tech people.

It's hard to get a better description than the original source, and no non-tech person has authority to override the real agile at that point.
exactly this, and honestly, I feel like we need to get back to this model as an industry.

There are times when full-blown SPA is superior, but not nearly as often as people currently think. And the toolchains get vastly simpler when you're not doing SPA too.
Ah, probably soon enough The Sun will mention something trivial about Meghan Markle's private life, and for some reason everyone will lose their minds and forget about the whole Grenfell thing (except those in the aforementioned inescapable debt presumably).

The thing is, though, a toilet is actually quite a good and useful thing. The UK is becoming much more like the untreated sewage that we're rapidly filling our fresh water sources with.
Based on the stuff Wizards of the Coast considers racist, it’d be really easy to unintentionally be caught up in their nullifying your license too. This includes changing language around a race of evil, gypsy like people that are subservient to a vampire lord (which hews very close to the writings of Bram Stoker’s Dracula), or a species of flying monkey-like creatures being enslaved and later freed as part of a fantasy setting (this was removed and Wizards apologized for being terrible and racist).

Talk about an absolute landmine of potential for offense.
Even the most die-hard libertarians I know (which I'm using here as a proxy for the most conservative) recognize one of the fundamental roles of government is to account for and price in externalities.

The OP indicates that the incentives of corporations driven by a profit motive is not to price in externalities. If not the government, what other mechanisms do you suggest?

Bingo. I started seeing this everywhere I looked and it made me furious. Everything, in small ways, seems to sabotage the user trying to control their things. Eventually, and at scale, they win. It's fatiguing to constantly be fighting these toys.
Some people will crack it because they hate dongles. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

In 2014 Apple said they would use the Lightning adapter for at least 10 years. Meanwhile they've adopted USB-C across their product line. Apple famously never announces future product plans but I think it's pretty easy to read the tea leaves with regards to what they were going to do.
Nope, none of this is correct. Docker only runs on Linux. The core purpose of Docker Desktop (and similar tools) is to spin up a Linux VM under the hood and manage its lifecycle, route network calls, share volumes etc. You can do all of this yourself of course, but it will be a non-trivial amount of effort to set it up.

"brew install docker" is just another way to install Docker Desktop. It does not run Docker natively on MacOS, because that is impossible.
I don't think this is necessarily a sign of them not being smart. I mean it could be, but it could also not be.

What it is a sign of is that their incentive structures (their motivation) do not align 100% with those of the project. They might be more interested to learn and try new stuff, than to find the most maintainable, simple and elegant solution for example.

This does not make them less smart. And just because the participant's goals do not align with the project goals does not mean that this is bad. Such a project just needs someone who is aware of those individual goals and tries to defend the project against them while offering them sufficent opportunities to stay motivated.
I feel like it's safe to say the bulk of that was generated, and/or they're including all code imported as vendored dependencies
Are you an influential power user with tens/hundreds of thousands of followers? If not, then Twitter won't care whether you stay or go.

Correct, you can always save indefinitely to get the required amount of money and pay for whatever all at once.

The problem is that the above is assuming that there is no value to having the thing you want to buy.

For example: a person might be able to save for 12 months to buy a new camera, but that's now 12 months they don't have that camera. Presumably you had reasons for wanting that camera.

While there are a bunch of things I don't think it's ever good to go into debt for, your claim that there's no justification other than "I deserve to treat myself like a king" is BS.

As per usual for articles like this they pose this in context of the extremes "sandwich in payments", which I suspect if people have done that it is accidental and/or "huh? what is this like".
Have the licensed crackers started carrying the sticks around?
You are completely out of the loop on the data it seems. If you have some free time 1h or 2h and actually look at the data you would know this is not about suicide increases, lockdown effects, delays medical screenings etc. etc..

The excess deaths are higher than the expected effects of all these known factors together and the correlation to onset/end of the events do not line up. You cant explain ongoing excess death globally due to lockdowns when lockdowns where very different by region and have long been lifted a while ago. No one questions that lockdowns had negative effects, horrible effects like suicide but we are talking about a 10% increase suicides and single digit increase in cancer death, durg abuse and similar things that we do have a very good idea about why these increased but it just does not add up to 15% or 20% excess death.
The excess deaths are off by a factor of 2 or more in many places, in other words we have theories and reasonable understanding for halve the excess death death.
