Also now I consider the fact that there must be some number of people who are specialised in rat organ transplant surgeries... As someone must be pretty proficient with doing organ transplants to rats to even attempt doing one with frozen organ.
But instagram is not a bank. I understand not wanting yet another company to have my photo (which nowadays is pretty much knowing who you are) + phone number. Plus it shouldn't require personal identification to post a photo online, especially given how easy it has became to filter out illegal content automatically.

It isn't. GPL applies when you give someone a copy of the covered software. The GPL specifically allows selling copies of the software which would grant the recipient the same rights. But the GPL doesn't compel you to give someone a copy of the software to begin with.
That's the thing though, it's hard to ignore them since they pose themselves as coming from a morally righteous place, and they have the followers to back them up with their demands. Just look at the Opal thread I posted, it's started as a demand, and then a bunch of people who've had 0 to do with Opal start spamming the thread to back up the OP and hurling insults around at all the contributors for "daring" to associate themselves with one of the most prolific contributors to the project.

All of their arguments are also posed in a way to make anyone who disagrees seem like they're disagreeing with something very reasonable. It's phrased in such a way as to imply that they're in the 100% right, and if you dare disagree you're a bigot/homophone/transphobe/whatever other bad thing that can stick.

Every time I've seen a project get targeted by these CoCs, all the maintainers approach it from a good place assuming no malice, whereas the ones pushing for it will NOT take no for an answer.

I mean just look at one of the final comments in that locked Opal issue: https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941#issuecomment-1132902...

They're blatantly trying to paint anyone disagreeing with them, no matter how mild the disagreement, as someone attacking them directly, and there's a scary amount of people who would side with them as well.
My impression from the video is that Rossman is actually completely fine with Amazon cancelling his account—he just doesn't like the (in his view disingenuous) email they sent him claiming to to have cancelled it because of TOS violations, rather than saying that they've cancelled because they don't like his video about them.
Not in salt though, there it would cause more problems by making sticky mess.
> Weird that heavy marketing would finally penetrate my brain the same year we had our first kid.

Nah, but that marketing, and the financial incentives which motivated it, and the arms race from a critical mass of larger vehicles affecting visibility because of it are why minivans and SUVs (the former popular first and then the latter later because of when each worked as a regulatory dodge) bevame the choice for those needs, which were once filled by station wagons.

I’m an SUV owner myself for very similar immediate reasons to the ones you cite. Nothing about that interferes with my ability to understand that the market context within which those preferences call for that result is a product of specific, well-documented interplay between regulation and profit-seeking business behavior over several decades.

I probably underestimated how much does it take to convert it from "fast JSON decoder written in C" (which many interpreted languages use in backend) to actual language implementation, but in perl it's pretty fast:

-> ᛯ ls -s -h big.json
101M big.json
[11:53:30] ^ [/tmp]
-> ᛯ cat /tmp/1.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use v5.24;
use JSON::XS;
use File::Slurp;
my $j = decode_json(read_file('/tmp/big.json'));
say scalar @{$j->{'a'}}
[11:53:39] ^ [/tmp]
-> ᛯ time /tmp/1.pl
34952534
/tmp/1.pl 0,81s user 0,13s system 99% cpu 0,939 total

so just around 100MB/s

Affiliate marketers often use shady techniques to get the click. It's a tale as old as time.

Wasn't there some browser extension years ago that was inserting it's Amazon affiliate link into webpages?[1]

A large amount of the spam we receive in our email is ulimately just some affiliate trying to earn a commission. Affiliates don't have ethical rules they need to follow.

It's very, very hard to find the "old days" true affiliate that drives any significant traffic. It's way more profitable for affiliate marketers to force users to open a new browser window which drops a cookie without the user having any true intention to buy, with the aim to scoop up the commission any future purchases.

I mean if you can trick a million people into clicking a link, you can make money as an affiliate. Or you used to be able to do that.

I fully agree that churning out some LaTeX PDFs isn't that cumbersome compared to doing a website, for example. When you already have a workflow for PDFs, which you can pass down generations of students, doing more is work.

However, I'm surprised readers don't strongly favor other formats. Doing a more modern website enables a lot of things that PDFs cannot do. Animations, interactivity, better automatic parsing, metadata generation, tracking of changes and versions, easier embedding elsewhere, better referencing and citing (hyperlinks), even automatically verifiable, etc. In a PDF, even marking and copying text often doesn't work properly.

Maybe people who write papers mostly don't (have to) care about presentation of the content? Then again, "quality of figures identifies 90% of any paper's merit" because people don't read the text. This is what confuses me. Why don't readers strongly prefer non-PDF publications, of if they do, why don't they get what they want?

Mind you, I strongly expect PDFs to become old-fashioned and eventually obsolete for publishing research anyway.

Yes. But, that doesn't mean implementing these things is any easier. Maybe if you're sliding an element in and out, the WebAnimations API would suffice. If you're wanting to do advanced animation, you will end up creating your own library. With anime.js, you have better control over your animations. You can pause, play, reverse, and seek animations, as well as control their speed. It provides a powerful timeline feature which allows you to chain animations and control their sequence, something that is not available in the Web Animations API. You can also do things like line drawing and morphing, as well as animate CSS properties, SVG, DOM attributes and JavaScript Objects.

You can do most things natively, if you have the time and luxury of reinventing the wheel.

> There's a sizable chunk of people who think that the concept of inheritance for code sharing is causing more harm than good overall.

Maybe. What I've seen online is that there is a sizable chunk of people who think that the concept of inheritance is causing more harm than good overall. I don't see many adding the qualifier "for code sharing".

> These languages make it hard to do inheritance for exactly that reason.

It makes those languages a poor fit for some problem domains, like GUIs, for example. Or games. Or many enterprise systems.

Which is why I am wondering why someone would be thankful that creating programs in certain very popular domains was made more difficult than the alternatives.
What do you think is more likely?

1. An entity that that has been dealing with GPL software and the attendent licencing issues for decades fundamentally got it wrong.

Yes. I know it can render 100 frames of a high quality 3d scene along with related networking, audio, logic, physics, etc. operations.

There are important differences.

CentOS Stream is a continuously integrated 'midstream' between Fedora and Red Hat. Red Hat is developed from it to provide subscribers with a stable distribution, but there are still parts that take place in private even though they've introduced a midstream that is much more helpful for accepting contributions.

OpenSUSE Leap and SLE always stick to the same schedule and share the same source code. Because they are developed together, the process for stabilizing it, putting out security errata and metadata, and ensuring compatibility -- is all in the public eye (aside from sensitive matters). The Factory and Build Service is where all the branched versions of packages are kept, and they have a policy of aggressively upstreaming.

SLE does have a very close equivalent to EPEL called Package Hub, which supplements the enterprise SLE with community-provided packages. (https://www.suse.com/c/how-suse-builds-its-enterprise-linux-... )

> preventing their users to share the source

They can't and they aren't proposing to do that. Rather they can stop doing business with such users.
It mainly acts as a lower bound. If your pings return 5ns, you know that answer cannot possible be correct. But I agree that's a rather constructed use case.
I believe the parent means that redhat is going to terminate your contract and/or stop providing updates you if you share the code.

This clearly violates the spirit of the gpl, but it is not clear whether it violates the license itself.
Please think about what you say before you say it.
I feel like Clojure and its inventor have a kind of cultish fanbase.

Federally, not since 1981. On the state level, some states do provide for a process that is recognizably analogous but still differ state to state, sometimes greatly. Also, states differ as to how direct a route a citizen-initiated complaint can directly affect the actions of the judicial system - some states use prosecutors as a gatekeeping mechanism, while others allow it as a process distinct from the prosecutorial system and so would skip over the gatekeeper and directly go to the judge. I don't know about most states, but I know that it's a mechanism that New Jersey, Washington, New Hampshire, and Idaho recognizes.

This is a sufficiently niche field of even criminal law that would require you to hire a lawyer to handle anyway. And usually there's some statutory limitation on what sort of prosecution a private individual can initiate. It's generally just not worth the trouble.

The DMCA does allow for a separate, federal, and civil cause of action to recover damages if the filer of the takedown notice knowingly and materially misrepresented the operative parts of the notice. 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) is where this cause of action resides. However, to prove "knowingly" and "materially" at the same time is a pretty high bar, although it might be possible to get a default judgment if they simply don't respond. Still, this is a limited remedy that most people won't be able to take advantage of since it involves potentially costly litigation and no punitive damages. It's not a prosecution of any sort, but it's sadly the best (only) option on the books that counts as relief, however limited it is.

> I also like having a single feed with new vids from every channel I’m subscribed to on invidious which I don’t think is possible on YouTube

That seems contrary to the idea that your RSS reader should be the one place you control your subscriptions from.

Which is something of a general problem—an on-site list of subscriptions is certainly also useful in ways the reader can’t really replicate in a generic way, yet it’s in the user’s interest to be the only one in control of that list instead of involving the website in it.

I can’t think of a good way to deal with this.
> OOP is essentially a software architecture model.

Finally! Somebody pointed this out.

OOP is merely a different way of structuring "Procedural/Imperative" programming. In the early days of OOP hype, the greats like Edsger Dijkstra, Niklaus Wirth were rather critical of it and denied that it was something very "Original". It was correctly pointed out as merely a technique for structuring code for "programming in the large". Once you understand this you can design and use OOP (for a specific definition) in any language.
For this case just add random(0, 2^128/N) to the previous UUID. N*2 is average number of ascending UUIDs you want to maintain for database performance. If N is low enough (like 1024), database will be happy and UUIDs will be pretty random and won’t reveal much. There won’t be global ordering, but it leaks timing information in one way or another, anyway.

One less known use case for this is creating animated UI demos, which as a dev I find harder to do using video editing software.

I used it to create the simple demo on the rcmd frontpage: https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd

This is the code, where I'm just animating elements of an SVG I previously created with Sketch: https://github.com/FuzzyIdeas/lowtechguys/blob/main/src/rcmd...

I'm also doing the same thing for the Lunar frontpage: https://lunar.fyi/

But because Lunar's demo is a lot more resource intensive, I pre-rendered it into a video, and heavily optimized it for each screen size, in H.265, WEBM and H.264.

One of the biggest hurdles in Lunar's case was how to make the video have transparent regions. With Anime.js you are able to animate individual elements, placed around static text and buttons, which you can't do with videos.

Alpha support in videos is not so good, so I had to create a full-page video (in both portrait and landscape) with the right background color, and placed it as a background layer with a low z-index.

Finding the right video compression parameters to avoid background grain was not easy.

People get upset because companies boast about being a meritocracy and then take the (pragmatic?) road of hiring people they already know, and promoting those people they enjoy hanging out with.

The game being somewhat rigged would be a lot easier to accept if you haven’t been told all your life that if you work hard and be a good person everything will automatically fall into place.

The logic of being upset that somebody who got worse grades in school now has a better career and how unfair that feels is the same logic as being mad that somebody with a criminal record who has no house or car can get dates easily but the “nice boy who played by the rules” cannot.
