I had exactly the same thing last year with a previous long departed staff member having forked django-flex-fields into their personal GitHub and having made substantial changes. Porting to Django 3.2 then became a huge and costly project in itself as a result.
I think you're asking the wrong question.

Do you believe private corporations should be in charge of deciding -- with no oversight or ability to appeal -- whether money changing hands is for a legal or illegal purpose?

I guess "yes" is a defensible answer to that, but for me it's a hard "no". As flawed as the US justice system is, I prefer due process over arbitrary action.
Fickle Multi-Factor Authentication in Microsoft 365
It doesn't help the detection, it means that the override when the detection fails is remembered so the site knows to just pick a particular version instead of using the detection method at all.

It is a work-around improving the UX on the second and subsequent requests, not a fix for the root cause.
Seeing the submarine cable maps for Hawaii can be a bit misleading. If I'm not mistaken, a lot of the fibre capacity simply bounces through Hawaii and isn't trivial for the islands to hook into. I don't believe Hawaii itself is any better connected to the internet than say, New Zealand
The downside to open source is the confusion around what's the latest, what's "most official", what's compatible with what.

In 99% of cases having one project however bad it is, means less confusion and more stability than several (It's funny and scary how this is exactly the one and only argument for dictatorship).

For the good of the project long term, evolution through selection might be best. But it's certainly not best for the short to medium term if talent is split, and it's not great for users to have to wonder which fork to use.
The entire thing reeks of bad decisions.

The new CEO from the Discovery side of the merger cancelled a bunch of HBO Max programming that was doing well, because their background is in cheaper to produce reality content. It seems fated to join the very long list of bad media mergers.
Sounds like your files are not static, therefore your problem is not the same as the problem the article is addressing.
That man’s vanity project and the shitty options on offer is what scuppered that, not the quality of the existing flag.

Trying to come up with post-facto explanations which arent your true reasoning in order to manipulate your partner's behavior is a huge red flag. If you follow this sort of advice in your own relationship it is very likely going noticed and dissolving trust in your relationship.
Even Plaid regularly fails to sync and they still rely on screen scraping for many banks. It might get better though, with the CFBP open banking initiative.
It's funny. The most "Twitter-esque" replies I see on Mastodon come from mastodon.social, which thanks to now being the "default server" in several apps seems to be facing somewhat of an Eternal September.

There tends to be some drama around different attitudes to moderation on other servers but other than that they're usually fairly well-behaved and predictable by comparison. Twitter on the other hand seems to have opened some kind of hell portal giving 4chan a run for its money.
You snipped the following line

He doesnt seem to be liked by some of the more powerful, corporate entities in tech, probably because he pushes some agendas that are somewhat anti-their-profits.

I think this was behind the rather unsuccessful attempts to cancel him a few years ago, which cast a shadow over his reputation.
Or to put it nicely.

If you don't want to run docker you can read the Dockerfile as it will contain all of the build step. Then you can enter everything yourself manually.
If the fork achieved it's goals then it was a success.
I never had the feeling they went "all in". Just that by their announcement they were priming the market, getting startups and vendors excited and creating stuff. Then only to wait, bide their time, see what sticks, and buy some promising innovations.
Note: I am a product manager myself
I see the team of PM, Engineer, Design, Data, etc. as one team consisting of people with different skills.
The skillset of a PM does not include coding, but it helps to have some technical understanding to discuss on eye level. The skillset of a software developer does not include user understanding (for example), but it helps to have some idea of user situation to discuss on eye level. If all functions understand what the others do, the team will be successful.

In my opinion, your experience of product managers sounds like people with poor understanding both of the job of a dev and of the job of a PM. No blame.
Every community has a code of conduct, it's just that some of them are explicit about it.
I also have peeves that I find hard to let go of, but I view those as a personal flaw.
>The problem with addicts is that some of them somehow think it is the responsibility of the society to outlaw whatever they are addicted to. Nope.

On the other hand, the problem is with "everyone for themselves" solutions is that they're not enough to address an issue that affects you (and society in general in systemic ways) even if you personaly don't use the medium.

The reason slashdot is no longer relevant as the go-to tech discussion site is just because everyone who loves hating on "modern" things like CoC stayed, and everyone else left. These days it would be more strange to see a major project NOT have a CoC than seeing one. There is drama and politics in any large org whether or not there is a CoC or not.
Would the Rust foundation be ok with SQLite CoC? or a software project with a CoC in compliance with Uganda laws?

We don't even need to abolish cash, imo it would be a huge improvement to cull 1 and 2 cent coins and make digital and card payments available everwhere. I'm from Germany and there are a lot pf places where you can't even pay with a regular bank card.

Here is a good walk-through of the changes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gutR_LNoZw0

I don't particularly care about Rust but one of the reasons I've hesitated to learn / use it was because the project seemed like it was led by woke people that pushed politics into the programming space which imo is completely unnecessary.

One thing I've learned by experience is that people who push their political agenda into everything is inherently toxic and will destroy everything they come in contact with.

There is no need for a Code of Conduct like so many programming projects have today, there is no need to have a "Black lives matter" banner on the framework website nor is there any need of supporting any other political cause unless it directly affects the project or the maintainers. If you start advocating for cause x there will always be people who rightfully will argue for cause y.

I'm sick and tired of general politics getting pushed into everything.
The article seems a bit obsessed with the size of individual units.

Latest generation district heating systems distribute the heat pumps around the system for greater efficiency.

Big units might be the simple option for upgrading older systems from fossil fuels but they can probably do better with a little planning.
I once suggested to a PM from the GOV.UK Verify team that if the UK wants to do age verification for porn, which it has threatened many times over the last decade, that Verify would be the perfect tech for it as content sites would only find out you're over 18, and auth providers would only know they're proving basic details about you.

The PM did not like the idea of the government being the porn passport for the whole country.
Goscript: Runtime Execution of Go Code
Not sure what you are trying to convey. There are a ton of IRC hosts out there and they are all interchangeable.

A real language fork is not interchangeable, even a different implementation of the same language is going to have its subtle compatibility problems. People pay the price for tangible benefits like performance or portability. You don’t need to use a fork and pay the technical price for it if the only benefit is that Rust Foundation hypothetically won’t sue you for using the word “rust”; just frigging use “crab” as the moniker for “rust”.
As an aside I think the non-null assertion operator should be transpiled via Babel from

`userId!`

to

`if (!userId) throw new Error('Non-Null Assertion Failed "userId!"')`
>This is a value judgement, and not an argument.

Value judgements are the ultimate arguments. In the end, nothing else matters aside from the kind of values we want to uphold.
> I don't think any of the folks who are part of it are language designers

Ugh. Hate this sentiment that some people are language designers, and others simply aren't. So pretentious. If someone is designing a language they're a language designer, they don't need your approval.

And yes, designing the distribution, branding, community, and leadership around a fork of an existing language counts as designing a language. Just because the speaker's "team" seems to be lacking in those aspects doesn't mean they aren't an important part of language design.

Regarding the "full find and replace", they haven't gone through to change path names because that'd cause far more trouble in synchronization with upstream than it's worth. Accordingly, they haven't changed source text that references those path names. Knowing which changes are appropriate versus the ones that aren't takes far more "language design" know-how than simply doing the "full find and replace" the speaker suggested.

No, what is happening is a storm in a glass of water. _This_ is what is hurting the language and the environment.

Having a late change to a conference is definitely bad and sad but there is simply no need for that to imply a rage quit and all this drama. That is a non-sequiteur. Suck it up, make the talk on youtube (or somewhere else); I'm sure there are lots of people that wish to see it; I know I would.

Enough drama!
Do you truly believe that when you'd make the decision to categorize a transaction as such, that decision would hold up in court, beyond a reasonable doubt, every time?

If not, then you have no place making it. And I would argue that even if you do, you still have no place making it, as unaccountable private corporations should not be given the ability (or requirement) to enforce law.

Certainly we can legally require you to report suspicious transactions to law enforcement, but it should be up to people bound to follow due process to actually do something (or not do something) about it.

I think a reasonable compromise might be to allow payment processors to put a transaction on hold until it's reviewed by law enforcement, but even this has some significant downsides.
Monero isn't in that sense either though, as each coin does have a casual history far smaller than the system-- less distinguishable for sure, but indistinguishable not quite! In the case discussed here the users are intentionally making their coins distinctive, which users could also do in monero if they were equivalently stupid. :P
“Metaverses need to look as good and play as well as AAA title games.”

Strange that this line has been misunderstood when ppl write that (of all thing) email has done fine in community building without looking great. I think it’s the perspective - metaverses expect us to be _inside_ looking around, not looking at it from the outside. Who hasn’t thought, while playing an AAA title game, “aw man, this would look so cool if I was IN THE GAME!” So with that perspective it makes sense that finally being offered the chance to “be inside the game” is disappointing when it looks terrible.
One way this is all very important is in how we think about it politically and in terms of policy. The fact is war, disease, poverty etc are shrinking drastically on a proportional basis because of work people are doing to make that happen, because policies are being implemented that have this effect. It's not by accident. So when we are evaluating whether such policies and projects are valuable and working, the voting public being aware of the fact that they actually are and to what extent is really important. The book is pointing out that this is largely not the case, and people being so badly misinformed is a real problem.

Those policies might also have negative effects, and that should absolutely be part of the conversation, but let's have a fully informed debate as best we can.
I think re-posting one of my past comments might be appropriate:

I used C# for the first part, easy to translate from the Java code but you can make things more concise with modern C# features while still having access to a GC which is kinda necessary for the first part of the book.

I got rid of the code gen and visitor pattern stuff by using records in C# with pattern matching which felt a lot simpler to me.
Slashdot was sold to another media company which had other priorities. Are you aware of its "redesign" drama strictly followed by that same new leadership? Many users left then and there.
Because the developer didn't want to. Instead they coded it in Java and ran with it. Personally, I love it.

It's probably 10x more efficient than a possible JS implementation, tho.

I like it, but I think it would violate the rule that TS code is simply erased. Though there are already a few exceptions like enums, but those are out of favor.

Over time, I've found it is quite possible to mitigate most of these issues. The default settings are not great, mostly because they default to maximize backwards compatibility. With a few settings you can consolidate the metadata such that the data layout is very simple.

The structure of a HDF5 file can be manipulated to put data where you want it in a file. For many files of the same type, you can set the metablock size so that your datasets are always at the same offsets.

You can use tools like h5ls or h5dump to describe the structure of a HDF5 file. It turns out that if you do this, you can make HDF5 cloud friendly.

Here's a fundamental: Meta is spending $10B/year on NVIDIA. You can bet Microsoft will be spending $15B/yr, Apple probably $3B, and the US Gov $2-5B. Anyone who wants to get in on AI or HPC is going to buy NVIDIA headless GPUs.

The reason no one uses ATI is because their dev support is a disaster.
I agree with you on the “realities of long term software development”. But I think I believe there is a fundamental difference between the standard realities on a successful enterprise project and the language itself.

That is, the latter needs to balance the needs of a much, much wider array of customers (all rust compiler users) versus the former with a more specific target user base.

This introduces different requirements. Changes are far, far more likely to be permanent for example. Which means that the discussion around decisions needs to be different.
Politics is everywhere and everything. There is no chance of "keeping politics out of" anything. Making such a decision or rule is highly political too. This goes for sports, entertainment, culture, tech, open source..
The fact that there are "counterexamples" of successful projects that "thrive without involving politics and never had a CoC" isn't an argument to the contrary.
As a point of comparison, apparently people have been able to do one-direction data transmission in the petabit per second range over a single strand of fiber optic cable over a relatively short distance.

https://newatlas.com/telecommunications/optical-chip-fastest...

Space-based communication advances are good news, and I suppose a lot of the same fiber optic techniques are also applicable to free-space optics and vice versa.

It's really weird how effective fiber optic cable is at doing what it does. It seems like a rare thing when some technology is developed that's so many orders of magnitude better than it needed to be when it was invented that the limiting factor many decades later is still the equipment at each end rather than the fiber itself. And it's super cheap too -- the vast majority of the cost of fiber is the cladding and installation.

I expect the vast majority of terrestrial traffic to be over fiber for the foreseeable future (save for "last mile" wireless devices of all kinds, including cell phones and Starlink) except for latency-sensitive applications for which the speed of light in glass and non-straight-line routing is deemed too slow. Lasers are great for where fiber isn't available though, and for extreme distances through a vacuum. Aside from the obvious advantages of not requiring a cable, inverse-square falloff is less bad than exponential decay in glass due to impurities -- even if we could string a fiber optic cable from Earth to Mars, we'd still need repeaters at regular intervals.
I'd be very curious to read your rant
But you don't -- and can't -- know that the payment is illegal. You merely suspect it, and since you are not a court of law, a judge, or a jury, you should have no business arbitrarily cutting off someone's ability to transact.
Well my account has been active for 15 years. I've never had any period where I can remember that it wasn't working.
This is eerily similar to my (short-lived) experience on twitter- same usage (occasionally logging on to read Elon tweets and a few others), exactly the same sorts of recommendations.

Twitter just wasn't entertaining enough for me, if I'm in the mood for that sort of entertainment I'd rather read Hackernews or watch youtube.
Ask HN: Why aren't more people worried about A(G)I replacing humanity?
Having used Twitter threads and a Mastodon instance with a limit of 8000 characters, I have to say that the latter actually makes me less verbose. Due to the per-message character limit and the widespread use of quote-retweeting I felt like I had to make sure every tweet was defensible in isolation so tweet threads just turn into the most mundane one-liners so there's still enough room in each to provide context. Twitter's threading UI also only supports standalone tweet threads and does nothing to help with composing multi-tweet replies so those often go out of order eventually and people will reply to individual tweets rather than the end of each sub-thread.

Recommendations for Tools for Backing Up and Archiving to Removable Media
(un?)fortunately h264 is doing far more than mpeg iframes. Each frame contains look back data to up to 16 other frames, and each frame is also divided into variable size blocks 4-16 pixels in dimension. This arbitrary blocking of the white frames likely what is consuming so much space.

If you encoded in mpeg I'm sure you would dramatically reduce the file size, but not as magically as you would think. It will still store a new white iframe every 16 frames by default, though many encoders will let you specify an alternative.

In theory I guess YouTube could spend n-times as much processing to encode each video in n formats to find the smallest for that particular video and serve that encoding, even doing so after a video reaches x views to cut out yy% of wasted computation, but then they would have to support n codecs on m devices instead of just 1.

It worrying how long it takes to realise it's happened. But after reading the several tweets from conspiracy nuts and right wing fruit cakes you notice.
It seemed quite pretentious and dismissive to me too. Sorry, didn’t intend to imply I agreed fully with the quote. But there is a deeper point which is part of our root comment: is it a genuine effort or a negotiation tactic?
And I think what many of us in this thread object to is that your specific question is irrelevant, because it's hypothetical and unrealistic. You do not know the money is for a hit job. You just don't. You may think that's what it's for, but you don't actually know, and you -- as a random employee (or worse, algorithm) of Payments R Us, Inc. -- should have no business playing judge and jury.

As for moral lines you are curious as to what people will and won't cross, those lines will be different for different people, and that's exactly why we shouldn't be putting these sorts of decisions in the hands of random unaccountable corporate employees (or, again, worse, algorithms).

You clearly want someone to say "no, of course I wouldn't allow a transaction to go through if it was for a hitman contract". But what if someone said "I see no problem with contract killings; I'd let it through"? That person could be working at Payments R Us, and clearly we don't want someone making that decision! So take it out of their hands.

The contract killer is of course an extreme example, but we already have real-world examples discussed here that illustrate the problem with this. Pornography is legal, and yet payment processors boot online porn companies from their networks. Someone who thinks pornography is immoral might have made that determination (I don't buy the "high risk of fraud" argument; you can always control for that with higher fees). Regardless of how you personally feel about pornography, do you think it's ok for a company to deny another company access to a big chunk of the financial system for entirely legal activities, just because they don't like them? I would sincerely hope that we can agree that sort of thing is bad.
