> open source distribution systems [...] could buy the license from the original author

> A company like NPM [could] charge a company for using particular packages on a monthly basis

Wouldn't this require changing the license? How could NPM buy an MIT-licensed (for example) project and then charge for it? I suppose they could charge for the privilege of downloading the package through NPM, but that seems easy to work around if the code is available elsewhere (such as GitHub).

Also, any sizable open-source project has multiple contributors. What are the legal technicalities of the project's founder selling (and possibly relicensing?) other contributors' code?
most of the time the actual reason to decline the shelter is that they're not allowed to use their drugs there.
You and I zeroed in on the same section. I zipped through the video and found the pertinent part[0]. It's not so much an insult as it is unequal treatment for QA (which...is an insult). QA makes the world spin though. Never a good idea to take them for granted.

> So there's a tragedy of the commons in the making here, right? Millions of people collectively benefit from the existence and maintenance of this project, and would be harmed to some extent by its absence, and yet, because it's "free", no one is willing to put in the time, effort or money needed to ensure its continued existence.

The tragedy of the commons happens long before that.

Developers cannot an build and publish a software product like babel for-profit, because someone else would give out a V1 version for free. I suspect that there are many languages, compilers, IDEs, libraries, and build tools that no longer get written because the authors can't make a living from doing it.
more importantly, you're not allowed to use your drugs in the shelters
I was wondering that myself.

My head's a blank.
Companies don’t have the concept of good and bad employees, except when it comes to layoffs. Certainly no rewards for doing well verses just shuffling along.
It seems to depend on the area. In the SF Bay Area, wide scale power outages are rare. In Houston, most of my coworkers had small generators to keep their fridges and air conditioners running after a hurricane knocks out power.
For weight loss, through a decade of research and trial and error, here's what I have found.

- eat more than your BMR (basal metabolic rate) but less than your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) in order to maintain your BMR as you lose weight

- the gap between BMR and TDEE can be increased with exercise

- cardio burns calories but weight/resistance training helps build/maintain muscle mass as one's body drops weight, hopefully more from fats

- every week or so, resetting one's system by eating a very high calorie or carb heavy meal helps jolt the system as well as one's mindset. I personally find it easy to stick to good eating habits if I eat like shit once a week (on purpose, rather than accident).

The reason VS Code is not the spiritual successor to Emacs is because Emacs is an attempt to preserve and further develop the legacy of the lisp machine. While VSCode is an attempt to capture as much of the developer editor market as possible. The old joke about Emacs being a great operating system but having a lackluster editor? It's actually literally true. A spiritual successor to Emacs will not be a text editor, it will be a software environment that continues and further develops the principles the lisp machine operating systems were build on, it will just happen to edit text on top of everything else it does.

On a different note, while I concede that VSCode is "good enough" at most text editing, and might even be excellent at some things, I could absolutely never use it because I have an insane grudge against Microsoft as the supreme enemy of Free Software. That's another thing an Emacs spiritual successor will have to be, not in any way shape or form associated with the devil of the church of GNU.

CS and programming describe different fields with only some intersection. Think physicist vs. engineer, or biologist vs. physician.

You learn any complex subject (CS) or skill (programming) with deliberate study and practice. Good teachers and mentors can help a lot.

You seem to express a bias to how schools work, conflating formal education with learning. You can easily start programming today with all of the free open source languages, tools, resources, and people available online.

From link:

Today, fire truck accidents are so frequent and fatal that they rank as the second-leading cause of on-the-job deaths for firefighters. Up to 25 percent of annual line-of-duty firefighter fatalities are attributable to motor vehicle crashes and collisions. Traffic accidents kill more firefighters than smoke, flames, or building collapses; in fact, the only cause for more line-of-duty firefighter deaths is heart attacks from overexertion.
So the article is misleading at best. The Golden Visa isn't over. The real estate route for residential property investment is proposed to be axed. Nothing will be certain till March 16.

From a Portugal visa group I frequent (I'm looking at doing the golden visa in 2028 or so):

OK, so this article doesn't mention that these are proposals, which will be debated and then approved on March 16. I know the government has an absolute majority, but some changes may still happen. (One could reasonably infer from this article that it's a fait accompli.)

The article also only refers to a small part of a raft of proposed changes related to housing pressures, whose aim is to reduce the increasing unaffordability of housing, notably rental housing, for existing citizens/residents.

Many of the measures would not have a direct impact on members here, and available information is limited at the time of writing. However, key points (based on reliable Portuguese sources) include:

-Golden Visas - new GVs would not be issued in respect of property purchases, and conditions for renewal of existing GVs would be tightened (to be renewed only in the case of owner- or owners' children-occupied, or where rented on the long-term market).

-Alojamento Local - new AL licenses would not be issued, except in the rural interior where no urban pressures exist. Existing AL licenses would be re-evaluated in 2030, and every 5 years thereafter.

This is what I have been able to establish today on these points. There is no suggestion of retrospective action regarding existing approved GVs/AL licenses, until such time as they come up for renewal (or, in the case of AL licenses, are re-evaluated).

As a side note, GVs may still be available for investment in businesses and/or which lead to creation of jobs and/or in connection with some form of cultural sponsorship/investment, it seems - this is further outside of my field, so I can't say more on that point.

Every respectable team is lead by a manager and director who respects a person's choice to be most productive. In office, remote, hybrid...

Like others mentioned, it depends on your region. I happen to live in a town surrounded by trees and the powerlines are above ground.

It’s very common for branches to break and knock out power lines in the summer during windy storms.

This usually means no power for 1-3 day stretches and only happens 1-3 times per year. So worst case it’s no power for 9 days total every year.

The problem is it usually hits in the hottest days of the year so people really complain — myself included.

WFH also makes matters more complicated.
There is a libre Vulkan driver for recent PowerVR GPUs in mesa, but it isn't up to Vulkan 1.0 yet. Once it is usable, the mesa zink driver will provide OpenGL support via Vulkan. Debian doesn't compile the driver yet either.

The consistency arises from the fact that even though we don't know the definition, we are in agreement in what is classified as conscious.

We agree that humans are conscious, we agree that rocks are not conscious. This classification is clear and points to a underlying definition we cannot fully articulate. It is more than a qualia or whatever you call it. We know it has exact parameters simply because we are able to perform classification tasks.

The consensus breaks for things like chatGPT. chatGPT straddles some uncertain border that we can't articulate. But in general for the term consciousness we reach consensus by how we classify things as conscious or unconscious.

You want to be a great writer..write. A great programmer write. A great song writer? Write.

Start with a quest and use tutorials along the way if necessary. At some point those tutorials get in the way, drop them then.

Your first movie is going to be horrible. Your first game will be. Keep at it, make it better and better. Learn how others approach parts of games like you and understand how to apply them to your situation. At some point you will invest new ways.. share those, learn from feedback.

A game either starts with an epic idea and a struggle to create that vision or a cool hook that a game is built around.

Just as a heads up. Make sure you get a real pro to do the sizing on your unit.

Most of our distribution network is above ground, so areas with higher wind and older infrastructure are more prone to outages. When I used to live in Ukraine, power outages were rarely due to distribution infrastructure (which was underground in most of the city I lived in) and much more likely to be related to generating capacity. We would go through periods of rationing where there would be frequent outages that would last a few hours, but rarely long enough for food to go bad.
I guess what got me started was bash, the bash man page, and limited options. I had no internet, my wifi card died right after reinstalling the system (money was too tight at that time for a new card) so I had no way to install anything beyond the basic stuff which came with slackware. I wanted to make music so I started to experiment with using bash scripts and SOX to make music. The results were not great but I learned a good deal and it got me interested in the possibilities so I got a copy of 'Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++' since most audio applications seemed to use C++ and there would be a great deal of code to learn from. During that time I also learned a few audio DSLs, enough of a handful of languages that I could hack code I found to make it do what I wanted it to and can sort of figure out most modern languages. Most importantly I learned how to learn, or at least how I learn. Now I am onto lisp, have a rather complex program I want to build and am reading 'Practical Common Lisp,' 'On Lisp,' and 'Lisp in Small Pieces.'

Probably the most valuable aspect of having a project to work on as you learn is it allows you to ask much more useful questions. When you ask a text book question you get text book answers by people who want the upvote, when you ask a question about an issue with the program you are writing you get dozens of varied answers and the people who respond are more likely to actually engage with you and help you learn/complete your project.
Agreed, master is a title for those you respect and not for yourself.

i think people have gotten a lot more aware and accepting of trans people in the last couple decades. i think the real reason why people don't seem to be bothered by the harry potter game is because most people get that whatever j.k. rowling thinks or says or does doesn't really harm trans people, that she didn't make the game, and that playing a game is just playing a game.

actually, i take that back: most people don't know about j.k. rowling's opinions. and even so over the last couple decades they've become much more aware and accepting of trans people.

“Happily obese” people like to point out how wrong BMI is. Little did they know they were right for the wrong reason.
Why business software? As a veteran of the "software industry" this would literally be my last choice. There's nothing I hate with more vengeance than business software ;) I mean might as well go work for the government if all you want is a steady job.

I would say go work somewhere where software engineering is what produces value for the company.

Really I'd offer the exact opposite advice. Never go for a stable/boring job. You're just or more likely to get laid off from those in an economic downturn. They pay less. Less growth prospects. It'll suck the life out of you and you won't have energy for anything else.

There are a lot of good jobs out there that are interesting, pay very well, reasonable life-work balance, opportunity for growth/learning. If you're good and passionate go after those. You'll be fine in the periodic recessions and everyone will want you on their team most of the rest of the time, when the economy is booming.

EDIT: I do agree that game-dev is one of those areas where lots of people are willing to do the work because it seems glamorous. The industry has a reputation of treating software devs poorly. There's some exceptions but it's definitely in the "be careful" category. But there's lots of other options out there.
I'm reading this comment thread and I realize that you misunderstand a lot about what the OP created and wanted to share with y'all (yes, I know him and I've been useing Sora since it exists).

Let's say - I'm an average internet user who likes to create and share content and yes I've been using social media platforms for it because for us, there aren't many other options these days.

I don't think I need to tell you what makes me so angry about social media because you know it all better than me.

On Sora, I can create a personalized profile with the info I want to share about myself and I currently have two blogs of different topics, a microblog for my random thoughts and a polaroid collection and you can reach all of them when you open this same profile. For me, sharing the profile page with all my content on it, too, gives the feeling that I have some kind of "online personality" I build and control, in other words, I can be fully seen - it's something social media would never give me, especially because I have to share all my content on separate sites.

It's everything I want to share at one place. I have many options to customize my stuff, another thing I, the average user would never get from the big platforms.

You see Sora simply as a blog engine and you've seen enough of those already.

Difference is that it's much more complex than that. It's something I've been looking for for years and I couldn't find anything similar to it.

What I want to say... is that when you can build your very own blog engine or you can find a more complicated one that satisfies your needs then Sora isn't for you and that's cool.

For those who are looking for a less toxic alternative to social media (and they don't necessarily need it to be another form of social media), it could be something interesting. (Even when you can but you don't want to put all that effort into creating it yourself, it's worth a look - and when you don't understand what should you see then again, it's not for you and that's still cool.)

I still think it has a lot to offer, just look at it from a different perspective.
I started reading examples from the article to my wife and she brought up the fat controller. When my son was young we watched all the older, UK Thomas episodes on YouTube. We preferred the narrator and the fat controller to the US version.
BMI has been known to be unreliable for almost as soon as it was published, but people clinged to it because they could get some number with absolutely no education and only basic tools on the measuring side. You could do it in the jungle with a tape measure and a weighting board.

So the base reasonning was “a somewhat dummy number is better than no number at all”.

DXA is 100% better but requires trained personnel and expensive, advanced scanners. I’m not sure it’s a fitting upgrade of BMI…and if a subject can be thorougly scanned, can’t they also get more personal advice and actual assessment of what they are risk of (blood pressure ? heart disease ? diabetes ?) instead of some vague “you’re fat so you should lose weight, we’ll see how you’ll actually die once you’re thinner” ?
Bus tickets are unhelpful because it further uproots their lives. People (including homeless people) have support networks, communities, etc that get destroyed by being forcibly relocated.

They’re human and like all people they build a life over time, they have neighbors and friends and possibly family nearby that love and support them.

There are also annoying logistical challenges to moving that are harder if you’re homeless. Finding a new doctor is hard, harder still if you’re restricted to free or reduced cost clinics. Finding a food bank or getting a PO Box or a church or a job.
