The problem is that this is not a question that a court would ask about these tools and since copyright is a legal invention it is kind of pointless.

It’s the kind of conversation to have in the context of art (better yet if your contribution to the conversation is art itself) or the philosophy of language, although the question could be a little less “stoned in a Freshman dorm” and more informed by the actual discourse of those specialties as these questions are sort of old hat.

If you want to ask meaningful questions of these tools and copyright you need to study the law, plain and simple.

Most jobs require you to be available for 8 hours. So you can't work hyper productively and then quit for the day at 2PM. You need to show up for the 4PM meeting as well as the continuous storm of incoming chats.

This is why productivity improvements feel so meh. For people that are hyper competitive and ambitious, it's a way to tackle more and bigger challenges. Fine.

For others though, the benefits do not really materialize in meaningful ways. Maybe you can win some slack/recovery time, but it's not really truly free time. You're still working and on call.

In fact, in quite a lot of teams being productive is actively punished. Say that in agile you do a great sprint, and execute 10 story points instead of the normal 5.

Nice. Oh...so you can do 10? 10 it is then for all the future sprints. Without a pay increase, obviously.

I have been to Lake Powell dozens of times at various water levels. It was a wonderful place to visit when it was completely full in the late 80s. It is a wonderful place to visit now when the water level has dropped over 100 feet.

To be sure, the landscape is 'different' at every water level. At low levels, features that were hidden underwater are exposed. At high levels, you can take a boat deep into canyons that were inaccessible by foot.

Southern Utah and northern Arizona is full of beautiful landscapes. There are millions of acres of twisting canyons, colorful rock formations, and towering spires. There are those who lament that any piece of it is 'developed' for a road, a town, or a man-made lake; but most of them would not be happy until every facet of human existence has been erased from the Earth.

> as a former npm registry engineer i'm curious what you find to be the particular value of publishing to npm

I have to admit I find this to be an amusing sentence. :D Poor npm (maybe rightfully) does not have the best reputation.

I suppose it appeals to me mostly for reasons of personal bias, and the thought that most people downloading binaries from GitHub probably have node installed. Although I'm probably wrong about that. I also like that optionalDependencies and postinstall steps can use JS code to effectively act as an install script, which at least feels somewhat cleaner than curl install.sh | bash.

You make a good point about this being more appropriate for binaries that have some relation to JS (like esbuild). I think this is probably a compelling enough argument not to distribute binaries to npm if they're not related to JS - or at least, if there is no obvious overlap between the expected userbase of the binary and JS users.

Perhaps the solution friendliest to end users (but least friendly to maintainers) would be to distribute the binary to as many package managers as possible. I mean, why not publish it to npm, and PyPi, and maven, and rubygems...? If your Rust tool has bindings in these languages, then of course it makes sense. Otherwise, it sounds ridiculous... but is it really so different from publishing to multiple OS-level package managers like apt, brew, macports, etc? Almost certainly your users, if they're downloading a tool from GitHub, will have one of these package managers installed. (But then again they'll probably also have one of apt/brew/nix, so maybe no need to use the language specific manager.)

Actually, if this is something you're working on, maybe that is a problem you can solve - you could handle distributing the binary to multiple package registries, and I could just push it to GitHub releases and add an extra line to my workflow.yml. You wouldn't even need to store the binaries - you could just fetch them from the GitHub releases page. (Although now we've strayed quite far from my original motivation of a more secure distribution channel! And perhaps this leads to reinventing a few wheels...)

> Catholic teaching is that men cannot become women and women cannot become men.

People (including Catholics) supporting trans rights agree with that.

Of course, most of the Catholic heirarchy and supporters of trans rights disagree on who are men and who are women to start with, but, I mean, the former at least should be familiar with the idea of an entity having the observable physical characteistics of one thing but being something radically different because of its innate essence.

> Catholic teaching is that lying is sinful.

Catholic teaching is that lying consists of objectively false statements told with intent to deceive. (CCC 2482)

> Practicing the Catholic faith by saying "I'm sorry, but I can't 'use your pronouns' because that would be a lie by falsely saying you're a woman when you can't be" will get you reprimanded or fired at most any major US company.

But this is not something that the Catholic faith teaches is lying, even if some Catholics may see it as lying or some other offense against truth. Why?

(1) As Catholic traditionalists and trans rights activists agree, “gender identity” is not the same thing that Catholics see as binary sex. Acknowledging that a persons gender identity is this or that is not a fact claim about the construct of sex, but also

(2) Preferred pronouns are a distinct (though sometimes correlated) issue to gender identity (people with different gender identity can have the same oreferred pronouns, and vice versa), so even if acknowledging the validity of gender identity waa making a claim about sex, and even if such a claim would be false, respecting preferred pronouns isn’t acknowledging gender identity, its just respecting preferred pronouns.

(3) On top of all of the above, the purpose of use of a person's preferred pronouns by a Catholic in a work environment would, presumably, not be convince anyone of some false claim about the subject's sex, and without intent to deceive, it would not be a lie even if its content were an objectively false claim. (Which, for the reasons discussed previously, it is not.)

If you wanted to make an argument against respecting preferred pronouns that was grounded in Catholic doctrine, you would do better to argue that it is adulation (CCC 2480) from the view that transgenderism is inherently wrongful and doing so, lacking the intent to deceive required for lying, is a form of encouragement; OTOH, you could equally argue that failure to do so, in many circumstances, is detraction (CCC 2477) on the same assumption and calumny (also CCC 2477) without it.

My favorite examples involve the Robinson-Seymour theorem about graph minors.

For any particular class of graphs closed under graph minors (eg planar) can be completely characterized by a finite list of minimal graphs that are not in the list (for planar graphs that list is K5 and K3,3). BUT we have no way to find the list. We have no way to bound how many things are on the list. Plus even if you were given the list, you have no way to verify it. Stronger than that, for your favorite set of axioms there are classes of graphs where, any verification that the minimal list IS the minimal list would lead to a contradiction!

So..in what sense does this list exist? And in what sense is it finite?

Mogul Lost Tens of Billions of Dollars in Days. What Happened?
The key is to make the right efforts. Putting so much passion into "build more bike lanes", discouraging people from buying EVs or installing solar "because of the environmental cost" etc. either doesn't move the needle or moves it in the wrong direction. It is its own form of greenwashing. What we need to do is look at the actual flows of carbon-energy production and usage, and work our way down from the biggest to the smallest. Here's a starting point from LLNL.

https://flowcharts.llnl.gov/commodities/energy
https://flowcharts.llnl.gov/commodities/carbon

(I'm pretty sure I've seen an even better one somewhere that breaks down e.g. personal vs. commercial transportation, but I can't find it right now.)

Parallel to that, we need to address the political issues that obstruct even minimal progress. And yes, sometimes that means holding our noses and voting for awful "moderates" or "centrists". Why? Because in a divided country (as most are) getting elected means getting the votes in the middle. Education helps some, in the long term, because it helps move the dividing line between the two sides of any issue (not just environment). Condescension and demonization don't help at all. In the short term, though, the biggest bang for the buck is to vote for people who will meet voters where they are ideologically and get them to support some kind of progress. Secondarily, electing people who will vote to dismantle the structures that favor obstruction and NIMBYism over doing something will also help - not this election cycle or next, but hopefully within a 27-year time frame.

So yes, consistent effort every year, but in ways that bear fruit and don't just satisfy someone's sense of superiority or self-righteous anger. There has been enough posturing. Every "that isn't good enough" or "they're both the same" delays actual progress. Like everything there's a strategy to this, and about 90% of what I see is a losing strategy.
A common conceit in tech circles is that you could easily make the world a better place, just put technical people in charge and the rest will take care of itself. As this post so clearly illustrates, techies can be just as delusional and blinkered as everybody else.

From Cliff Stoll's excellent The Cuckoo's Egg:

“With a ninty-four-inch telescope in space, we’ll be able to see phenomenal detail on planets,” I remarked.

“Just think what you could do if you pointed it at the earth,” Greg said.

“Why bother? All the interesting things are in the sky. And anyway, the Space Telescope physically can’t point to the earth. Its sensors will burn out if you try.”

“What if someone made such a telescope and pointed it to the earth. What could you see?”

I fiddled a few numbers in my head. Say, three hundred miles up in orbit, a nintyfour-inch telescope. The wavelength of light is about four hundred nanometers.… “Oh, you could easily see detail of a couple feet across. The limit would be around a couple inches. Not quite good enough to recognize a face.”

Greg smiled and said nothing. It took a while, but it eventually sunk in: the astronomical Space Telescope wasn’t the only big telescope in orbit. Greg was probably talking about some spy satellite. The secret KH-11, most likely.

We really don't know how anti-depressants or anti-anxiety work and are effective for some people. The Serotonin boost / balance is just one of the popular theories that is being studied as the cause for this. Let's not forget that for a really long time we believed the popular theory that stress caused ulcers.

I also speculate that a major reason for the popularity of this Serotonin theory is largely covert and overt pharmaceutical marketing - doctors and patients are much more likely to "trust" a medicine if they believe there is a "scientific" explanation to why a medication works.

(In case there is any doubt, I want to clarify that I that anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications do work and relieve the symptoms of these disorders. Medical trials have been done to prove that they do work, are effective and also cause side-effects. But we really do not understand how they work with any scientific surety and hence also why they don't work for a minority of people.)
