The Department of Energy literally invented modern fracking; see the Eastern Gas Shales Project, which lasted for a decade and a half. Early commercial fracking worked off of shale mapping performed at Sandia National Lab; reference here https://energy.sandia.gov/wp-content/gallery/uploads/FINAL-H... (which research continues).

Finally, the government provided $10 billion in tax cuts for unconventional gas drilling over the past thirty years, so even that private R&D was subsidized.
I wrote this sentiment earlier[1], but I'll repeat it here.

If a dev wants money for his work, he should license his work as appropriate and demand payments. If a dev releases his work free-as-in-libre and/or free-as-in-beer, they don't get to complain if the donations are "insufficient".

Or to put it another: Of course a company won't pay up if they don't have to.

This guy seems to be considering making his work into a commercial product, so at least he has the correct idea. Speaking objectively I hope it works out for him.

While students need somewhere to sleep and eat, the cost of doing so on campus are much higher than anywhere else (in my limited experience). For example, the cost of on-campus room and board my junior year was 4x the cost of my off-campus room and board the following year. Some schools don't allow for off-campus housing for some or all students, or still require commuters to purchase a meal plan. So perhaps while it's not sensible to include all room and board costs with the cost of college, it's definitely fair to include some or even most.
It's not 'overlooking', it's 'omitting' as this line of thought has been brought up numerous times within this thread, and honestly I don't think that it's the case in this instance.
A better argument would be that the government cannot force the person to enter into a contract with a private party.
Exactly. And it's higher than 4 nines, it's 5-6 nines.

I feel like only fringes of society would refuse the vaccine at that point. But what we do is lie and say it's 100%, losing all trust and making more antivaxxers in the process. The original ones that didn't want it at 5 nines wouldn't get it anyway, you're not winning them over by lying.
This entire thread was kicked off by someone grossly mischaracterizing the situation, right? Look:

>>> I suppose that the removal of this freedom is accidental, because it was a nice thing.

>> Not necessarily. Some people prefer the MIT/BSD/ISC family of licenses over GPL.

> Most of us have employers who are afraid of copyleft. That has made us afraid of copyleft, because we feel like our job is threatened by copyleft.

There's no anti-copyleft FUD here. All that's here is someone assuming someone else isn't a fan of copyleft because of "fear."
Oh won't someone please think of the children reading articles on Rust internals??
Correlation does not equal causation is one of the most widely misunderstood sciencey terms.

It would be better phrased as "correlation does not prove causation, but it does imply a relationship"

Yes just because something is correlated does not necessarily mean they the have a direct causal relationship, and more importantly it doesn't indicate which way a possible causal relationship would exist. But it does imply that they have a relationship, either directly or that they are both driven by a third force.

You have to apply some additional logic.

What's more likely?

A) Coffee consumption causes good health.

B) Good health causes coffee consumption.

C) Some other force causes improves health AND increased coffee consumption.

D) This is a spurious correlation.

B seems absurd. Or at least would have limited measurably effect. Yes healthy people are more able to drink coffee but it seems like such an effect would be limited.

C could be the case, but with coffee consumption being a deliberate action, if you believe in free will, a seems more likely.

Yes it could also be a spurious correlation, I guess that's possible too.

In this specific case, at the very least you can conclude that coffee is not acutely harmful. If coffee _was_ acutely harmful you would expect to see an inverse correlation between coffee consumption and general health.

The short way of addressing this, if you are sufficiently senior in your position or in-demand for your tech skills, is to ensure that any offer letter has extremely unambiguous language written into it that your position is 100% remote and will remain remote. Tell that to the recruiter. If they don't do it, proceed with a short "thank you for your time but I am not interested" and move on.
When I’m tapping my foot and strumming to a metronome, that’s all I’m doing. There’s no music being played.

My metronome app has a timer. I set a 5 to 15 minute timer and then repeat the same strumming pattern for that entire time (usually down, down-up, up, down which corresponds to the count 1, 2-and, -and, 4 and I play it between 60 and 100 bpm). The strum is just a percussive strum on muted strings. I’m not playing chords or any kind of melody. The goal is to get the strumming and foot tapping to be automatic so that I can add the next step.

If nothing else, Teams is horrendously inconsistent and one might naïvely think that MS would want to dogfood it better, with good statistics.

This HN article now has nearly 600 comments of people – mostly – griping about Teams. A large number of them are replied to with people saying "Oh, it's never done that for me!" or, alternatively, "Teams never works fully, but at least X works" being replied to by "X has literally never worked for me". They're all right. I've had vast numbers of random errors – like the application bars just disappearing, or a thousand and one "Sorry, Something Went Wrong™!" errors, but fundamentally, it's indescribably awful.

Periodically I'm asked to give feedback about how a call went. I always give one star. I'm not cruel and petty – it genuinely is always one star, where with my hardware, Zoom is pretty much real-time HD audio and video. People chop in or chop out, or I hear fan noise, or I wasn't able to join the link in Chrome because – well, it recognises that it's in Chrome but the version numbers don't match, and it thus asks me to download Chrome or Edge to join in Chrome – whatever. Microsoft must know that it's made a dog, and a very, very positive take would be that they want to make it better by having a larger base of competent developers to call upon to basically bug and betatest.

If I worked there, I'd have jumped ship at the acquisition, however...
There’s no comparison. Land already has a ton of riders attached to it, because ultimately a city, state, or nation is defined by the land they control.

For example, we would all be justifiably outraged if the government declared that SF buyers are only allowed to buy AMD graphics cards, while those living in Oakland are allowed only Nvidia, and the rest of the people in the area are not allowed graphics cards at all.

And yet, while many like me dislike land zoning, which is basically equivalent to the graphics card example, no one is calling it a fundamentally illegal and unconstitutional practice.

As you alluded to, "both parents working" + "commute time" = outcome.

This is the rat race in action. Everyone wanting to one up everyone else. To be the top %. To get into the best colleges etc. And so it goes.

He should 100% try to find regular sustainable work somewhere instead of working on this project.

Secondarily, find a lawyer to write up a contract for $80/hr for companies to sign and have him do work on core-js when they need an update or a feature. He can give an estimate on hours, send them a contract, get it signed and have the work done. If the people asking for feature requests and updates don't want to pay, then that's fine, it doesn't need to get done.

I think given at-will employment they can renege on that agreement whenever they want. Obviously it's best to have a meeting of minds, but can you really ever trust a corporation? Probably not.
they way I see it, having in-person workers is a competitive advantage for the company. those who figure out a way to keep their workers in office will be more competitive than those who don't. from the company perspective it definitely makes sense to push for in-person work as much as the workforce will tolerate.
They aren’t, owners could for example occupy their own property or sell it.
Sure, if voters elect politicians who enact taxes like that, the judicial branch shouldn’t stand in their way. The remedy for that problem would be the ballot box.

the "coincedence" is that tropical countries are where many spices originate - it might be interesting to ask why this is so. some spices do have antibacterial/fungal effects, but so also do salt and (paradoxically) fermentation, where you replace any pathogenic bacteria with harmless ones. i have a jar of kimchee fermenting in the kitchen as i speak.
This will get spicy if the tax itself is upheld, but the exclusions for single family homes and 3-or-less unit buildings is thrown out.

Are there any examples of a similar tax in other parts of CA or elsewhere in the USA?
The "Struggle to survive" gives meaning to life though.

No, it doesn't, this is just one of those banal transcendental platitudes that gets repeated enough to where it sounds like it's some sort of objective truth. Like the one about how "life only has meaning because it is short and ephemeral". By that logic an aborted fetus has had the richest life of all.

Life's meaning is ultimately in the eyes of the beholder. We all derive meaning differently, there is no universal solvent.

I mean yeah that's exactly what the caginess was about.
Not OP, but the limiting principle is democracy. That's what gets you off the slippery slope. A tax on vacant homes passed a referendum, but barely at 54.5%, and SF is probably the least landlord-friendly city in the US.

Nobody is proposing city taxes on unused guitars, boats, or graphics cards. That would never pass. There is no public policy benefit to doing so, other than generic tax revenue. And if it did, I would move and feel comfortable doing so because I would not want to live in a city whose majority voting population is bananas.

> Cookbooks generally distinguish between seasonings (spices used in food preparation) and condiments (spices added after food is served), but not between herbs and spices.

huh? people in everyday speech frequently blur herbs and spices, and the "official sources" can say what they want about what's an herb and what's a spice, but cookbook style in western cuisines,

the things we add to savory dishes tend to be herbs, fresh or dried green leaves, things like sage, rosemary, tarragon, and thyme.

And spices tend to be non-green frequently ground to powder things we add to desserts, like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. In ancient times "the spice trade" brought spices from the near and far east, but herbs we grew ourselves.

seasoning might have a more generic meaning ("italian seasoning" or "seasoning for stuffing"), but in practice it's salt and pepper that you adjust just before serving food, "season to taste"

It's definitely time for him to let this project go, working on it is a literally thankless task and the level of entitlement shown towards his work has been infuriating to watch. The outrage towards him daring to ask the community for help, something done in an act of desperation, is a real wake up call for open source maintainers - the community doesn't give a fuck about you, they want your code and they want it free.

The psychological burden of carrying such an important but relatively unknown project has trapped him in this state of desperation for years now. It's tunnel vision and sunk loss thinking, time to quit.

This is Microsoft's new EEE strategy, except that the new "Extinguish" target isn't all Linux systems but rather just any non-WSL based Linux systems. Microsoft offers WSL based Linux on Azure and they want developers to write software that's locked into WSL based Linux.

Microsoft isn't even hiding this at all as they even list it as a specific goal of the directx related changes being pushed to mesa:

The number of top–end GPUs in existence is finite and surprisingly small. If I buy one, that is one fewer for everyone else to squabble over. It is in effect just the same as land, and GPU prices are much higher today than they were 5 years ago. Even 5 year old used GPUs cost as much or more than they did 5 years ago.
NTFS is just slow for accessing lots of files in a short amount of time. That was a tradeoff that was made intentionally, and it won't go away until you use another filesystem for your boot volume. ReFS is apparently going to be an option for this sometime soon.

It's closer to the way vendors like Qualcomm shipped GPU drivers for ARM Linux until relatively recently, where they would ship a patched kernel with a DRM driver, and then a closed source userspace .so blob that you had to rely on, on top of that, which implemented the shader compiler, pipeline, etc. This is basically that. Except it's a virtual machine, so it's also kind of like how VMware Workstation does graphics acceleration.

The main difference here from the ARM world is that Microsoft seems to have invested dev work in upstream Mesa so that Mesa actually implements the nitty gritty parts of the spec on the Linux side, and then translates it all to underlying D3D12 host calls for you. This is conceptually similar to VirGL, which is basically the same thing but for OpenGL inside QEMU. If anything Microsoft seems to have taken a less arduous approach to this by going to upstream first to Mesa. The other thing here is that Microsoft is using a patched kernel that hasn't been merged upstream; but then again Asahi Linux is in the same boat, and they work upstream in Mesa now, too. And Mesa isn't just limited to Linux, of course, and can be used in userspace in theory a lot of places.

If you have some weird desire to use DirectX APIs on Linux, you can already do that in many ways with subprojects of Wine and Proton such as d3dvk. It's a well known API with a well known ABI so it's not like this is impossible. You can already run many Windows programs through Wine, so unless this hypothetical Windows/Linux monstrosity thing is going wildly out of its way to be WSL only through active hostility, it's not like there's some magical API that can't be emulated in most of these cases.

It's a collaboration tool, not just some IM client. After 6 years of using Slack I have to use Teams now on a project I lead. Oh boy, it's so much worse. I completely agree that it can make you leave, especially when you are responsible for efficient collaboration and tool like this is constantly in the way. It discourages communication between teammates, channels and threads are a mess so everyone rather DM people directly (so transparency suffers a lot). Everyone regardless of the OS have problems getting notifications, the threads are a joke, so are the reactions. It's so hard to find anything there, channels (teams?), a message, a user. I haven't seen an integrations/bots/apps in teams, maybe they are there, but in Slack they were so useful and easy to add, that they were used so much.
I’ve been to their offices in San Bruno and they’re quite nice. Good food service.

Tech companies have to be feeling miffed about making these dream like places to work only for many people wanting to not go in.

I use Surfingkeys, it's similar to Vimium, but the experience of opening links is a lot better than what you describe (I haven't used Vimium, so cannot tell). "Clicking" a link is two key presses, maybe three, if there are a lot of links on the same page. If it were a contest, I'd probably be able to open links faster than someone using their mouse, but this being a relatively infrequent activity doesn't really need to be that fast.

On the other hand, things like Surfingkeys, accidentally, sometimes allow me to circumvent bad design of a Web page, like when there's text you wouldn't be ordinarily able to select by dragging your mouse (because it responds to mouse events and changes etc.) this is still usually possible with Surfingkeys. (Without it, you'd have to "inspect element, find the element with text and extract it from there). Also, often times I can use this extension to scroll things that you wouldn't be able to scroll with mouse (again, due to bad Web page design).

Mouse only wins in situations with NIH GUI elements, esp. s.t. require drag-and-drop (volume adjustment on video clips), or controlling built-in elements (like this text area) to resize them (which is really just a browser defect in accessibility, but hey, most of the time I have to use Web, I have to overcome the incompetence of the people building it, thus the selection of tools).

In particular Vector can do simple transforms on the messages (or quite complex transforms using Lua script), and insert directly into Clickhouse.

I respect the simplicity of Redis here, but personally I would consider Kafka if I wanted to scale this setup further, maybe one of:

Vector -> Kafka -> Clickhouse (using Clickhouse's built-in Kafka support)

Vector -> Kafka -> Vector -> Clickhouse

This also lets you stream the logs live if you want to.

Your idea is invalid regardless of me being "rude". People have been watching and raising kids virtually forever without degrees. I was responding to your careless lack of need for evidence. The burden of proof is on those who want to demand such credentials.
