> I've been thinking about this problem a lot, since I'm trying to figure out how to sustain our open source project.

It’s worrying, and maybe telling, that you don’t mention whom the project benefits. Who are the people who want this project to exist? Those are the people who would be willing to pay to ensure its continued existence and maintenance. Exactly what form that takes is mostly psychological, and will therefore depend on what types of other expenses those people are used to paying, and how they usually pay them.

The only people who don't grasp this simple fact are the ones who have never worked in a corporation. They very much own and run things legally. Which is why when the liquidation man comes a knocking you don't lose your shirt for owning stock in Enron.
One of my best learning-photojournalism photos was at a crowded large street fair, and the scene involved unusual crowd dynamics.

I'm short, but I had a lot of practice moving through crowds to shoot political demonstrations while carrying gear (cameras, and a bulky backpack), and could usually just know how to move quickly through a crowd. (Not quite gliding through the Matrix, since it's not a straight line, but constantly moving and thinking very focused "situated action", and it somehow working better than I would've thought it would.)

That day at the street fair, when it suddenly felt like the crowd dynamics were changing, I couldn't see why, so I moved to find out. Then I saw part of the crowd had turned into a wall of people who were kinda being led forward in one direction, and a clearing starting in front of them. So I ran to just ahead of them, and got the shot, before getting out of the way.

It was a celebrity (Zach Braff), and someone unidentified but with a kind of gravitas strong presence -- one or both de facto leading this crowd of 20-somethings. Somehow this formed a flood of people, but with a wide flat front. I'd guess that no one wanted to move ahead of the leaders.

Fortunately, I had my usual kit (Canon prosumer DSLR hanging on each shoulder, for my beloved long zoom, and an especially sharp ultrawide), and operating it was all "muscle memory", so the ultrawide captured expressions in the crowd well. At least half the people in the front line were looking towards the leaders, generally smiling/happy, one of them absolutely giddy, as the crowd was moving in this emergent formation.

> This shit isn't banned. Nobody stops you from using them.

Speak for yourself. I had a PR rejected because I named a variable `blacklist` and was unaware that it's now considered a social faux pas. Of course, changing it to `blocklist` was simple enough, but wasted a couple hours because I had to ping the person again after finding out the PR was rejected, fixing it, retesting the code to make sure it didn't break stuff, pushing the changes, waiting for those tests to rerun, and then finally waiting for the person to re-review the code.

Good. Let it die. Magic won't put food on the table, a roof over your head, or build you a family (which you might want to start thinking about, the good ones are quickly being taken).

> Despite literally zero evidence of that actually being a problem in practice?

Sustained contact with metal at a temperature as low as 45C is sufficient to cause discomfort, and it's a surprisingly small rise above that before you can actually cause burns (https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&d...). Skin temperature is a standard input to DPTF policies, and during my testing I was certainly able to get the skin temperature of my test laptop well above that level - DPTF would trigger throttling instead.

> why else would you jump in to an article about unlocking manufacturer-crippled products with FUD like "not the correct approach"?

DPTF defaults to a "safe" configuration, where "safe" is a euphemism for "almost unusably slow". If what you care about is your laptop not being almost unusably slow, it's reasonable to choose an approach that obtains that without introducing any additional thermal concerns. If what you care about is obtaining the absolute maximum performance possible from your hardware with no regard to any safety or longevity concerns, then yes, implementing the DPTF policy is probably not what you want to do. But recommending the latter without providing any information about the tradeoffs is irresponsible.
What I'm really intent on getting at, albeit through a roundabout way, is that such institutions will always be susceptible to abuse, and that they hadn't ought to reasonably exist in the capacity they do operating under the pretenses they have offered. They're neither properly capacious to hold themselves to account, nor is the public suited to the matter (look at the US political system), either. Trust and defer is a hazard, but we're all culpable in it's maintenance and that is why and that is how the faux lacquer of the Rule of Law is maintained because most can yield that faith, they're willing to defer their authority to someone else be it the police, the FBI, CIA, et cetera.

As to the argument, there are a million and one ways to justify and rationalize behaviors, some convincing some not. The question then becomes one of faith. Some aspects of ones willingness to advocate in the favor of another are fraternity, I won't deny that. And some are due to shared experience. I would say the largest fraction of it is necessarily that faith just because very often we lack the omniscience we so often act as if we're in possession of.

We'd also do well to remember that these folks have elected to enter into a position where they're frequently endangered, or at least the probable threat of danger exists frequently. Often times they're veterans trained for combat and not peacekeeping. They also interface with other people in ways that you and I will seldom ever have to in situations we'd hardly ever imagine. Imagine pulling over a drunk driver in a several thousand pound vehicle. There's about a thousand things that could go on there. Is the driver deranged? Is he armed? Is he going to resist arrest? Will he decide to run me over?

As to training: I disagree. There is always room for error, period. Men are never machines, as such they should never be trusted with mechanical rectitude. I can make a long list of a wide variety of charlatans with conflicts of interest in pedaling their wares, myriad training programs it's quite the industry and often it's snake oil with one or two poorly constructed studies or apparent correlation, unreliable, unreplicible — but they sell. I could see it being a point of plausible deniability though. Trained expert police dispatching someone sounds a whole lot more acceptable than police murdering someone. But really it's the difference between an annual refresher training composed of a slide deck that nobody pays attention to and mocks, and no annual refresher training.

But nobody is going to take responsibility.

The author almost unravels their own argument at the end:

> I just believe that more businesses can find ways to make open source contributions core to their business, without resorting to the typical open core strategy. There’s a lot of nuance in creating better aligned incentives.

Their problem really is just with _this particular behavioral pattern of VC-raising startups whose software is open-core_, which is why they criticize "The Open Core Strategy". They are not against open-core in itself, just that it is incompatible with the profit incentives these companies have, where it quite literally turns into calculating ROI for "how many new users will see this new feature in the Core product and then be converted into paid users within 6 months".

Also, based only off of the description for shipyard they mention here, it sounds like you either can't execute low code templates offline, or can't fork the project without recreating both the UI and the execution logic, both of which seem to violate the spirit of free software.

Modern security is all about enabling modern engineering and allowing them to go ask quickly as responsible. Responsible has always been a function of risk / risk profile, always defined as likelihood * impact.

On the contrary, I find analog clocks more intuitive. They graphically and clearly represent locations within the cycle of time.

I just wish 24-hour clocks/watches were more common. I think much of the confusion some people have must come from abbreviating it to 12 hours that each happen twice a day, which is obviously nonsense.

No one is mentioning that in Elixir/Erlang (and a bunch of other FP langs) a string is implemented as an immutable linked list of integers. linked lists have the property of its nodes being all stored separately in memory, which means we don’t really need to worry about space/time complexity while adding/deleting nodes in the list.

For example, A -> B -> C -> D is a linked list, but so is B -> C -> D, C -> D and so on, and each linked list is just a sub structure of another linked list.

This is interesting, because now we can confidently say that A -> B -> C -> D is a different list from B -> C -> D (even though one recursively contains the other one). Because we have that guarantee (along with the fact that a list CAN'T change), we don't have to define the same data twice, and we can reuse existing linked lists! This is called Structural sharing. Adding to this list as an extremely low memory cost.

If we go back to our html snippets that we are sending down the wire, you can see why all of this would have an advantage over how an imperative lang might represent strings under the hood.

> Yet a small group of key individuals will amass a ton of capital and, therefore, power. They can then use that to create more businesses and ventures that will be just as ruthless and driven to succeed at all costs.

I'm really not sure if that is a good thing. What are those costs? Are we talking Amazon workers wearing diapers because the walk to the bathroom is too much inefficiency? People getting layed off when they have cancer and also losing their health insurance at the same time? Further, those new businesses, would they perhaps also mostly benefit that same small group of people?
I'm not discounting the potential effect of substances on REM, and as a drinker I'm aware of the deficit during the first 4 hours of drunk sleep. But really, I don't think people are talking about dreaming here so much as the perception or recollection of dreaming. I've made a point of keeping a notepad next to my bed for about 10 years. If someone had asked me before that how often I dream, I would've said maybe once a week. I don't think keeping a journal actually made me dream any more often. It's just that once I really made it a habit to access the halfway state by jotting a note every time I woke up, I became aware that I have 3-4 crazy dreams every night. The only exception is drunken blackouts, but I'd lay odds that's because I just don't wake up often enough to write them down.
I'd say it does use just the first 48 bits, but in a sign-extended way. You could sign-extend to any size you want, even beyond 64 bits.

And it forces the program to do the sign extension, so it'll be forwards-compatible with chips that use more bits. But once those bits are verified they get immediately discarded.

Are you with a straight face arguing that autocracies are morally equivalent to democracies? Remind me again which democracies have let 15-50M of their own people willfully starve to death (Great Leap) or willfully destroyed nearly their entire cultural heritage while killing millions in the process (Cultural Revolution)?

It's no coincidence that the three bloodiest mass murderers of the 20th century -- Hitler, Stalin and Mao -- were all dictators, and while the US has done and continues to do a whole lot of repugnant shit, nothing comes close to any of these three.
> This is really unlikely, though

It happens quite often as a result of dust in the contacts when the memory was installed or weak solder on the chips or sockets or bad capacitors etc.

None of which is that likely on machines in good working order, but many are not. And you can go from one to the other at any time as a result of a power spike or a cooling failure.
``John C. Inglis, the former deputy director of the U.S. National Security Agency, said in 2015 "frankly, the No. 1 threat experienced to date by the U.S. electrical grid is squirrels." ''

Most, if not all, of the coercion of a single company in this economy is coming from the government.

For the trains, remember that there was going to be a worker's strike. If that was a real threat, the rail companies, left on their own, would probably have compromised. But they knew the government would stop it which is what the government did. They used the guns of government. Without that backing, the workers had power.

As for Cigna, that is all balled up in the health system which is quite the mess in this country. Certainly, we have horrible private actors doing absurd things. But it is not because it is a free market. The health industry is heavily regulated and heavily funded by the government. I think 60% of health care is covered by the government funds. We have protectionist policies for drug companies. We have restrictive licensing on medical personnel whose main purpose is to restrict supply to keep competition down. There are even places where the addition of a single ambulance has to be approved by everyone else who owns ambulances in the area.

I think it would be fantastic if people could get a couple of weeks training to go around and be little helpers for in home care of a low-level nature. Instead, it takes years of going through expensive coursework, usually of limited value, designed to keep the poor from helping one another. That is government imposing that, admittedly at the behest of the well-heeled.

As for other kinds of power, there are all sorts of powers people have over each other. I act differently and constrained in various groups of people I am around. Larger or more meaningful groups have more power. But the main lever of power that I have is the ability to walk away. Consumers do not have go with that company. Workers do not have to work with that company. Investors do not need to invest in that company. But we do have to obey the laws and pay taxes to the government.

The power of free association is very powerful.

I think one way or the other, avoiding narcissism is the ideal thing. I do commercial art a lot. I take pride in my work. I don't consider it "art", just creative communication. And at the same time I'm not sure I consider my fine art to be anything other than creative dreaming / practice. Contrary to what you're saying, I actually think it's good to take pride and get a little emotional lift in both cases when people praise your work... but I think a sense of self is knowing not to define your own worth by what other people think of your output, and by the same token if you do define your worth that way, it makes it impossible to be humble about your own shortcomings. But it's okay to write or paint for an audience. Making art in a void is a lonely place to be.
It’s opposite. Venv is built into python and part of standard library. It is part of cpython repo and developed by python maintainers. Some Linux distributions remove it from standard library but windows/Mac always has it. The Linux distributions that have python without venv are considered incomplete python install and packaging community has considered not supporting that case in future. At moment pip tries to allow that case but in future may just require venv and consider Linux distributions that remove it as shipping a problematic python.
