Is not this something what Open Source exactly suppose to allow you to do ?

I have no love for Oracle but I would imagine one of the reasons Oracle embraced RedHat Enterprise Linux early on was the fact they could fork it if it was in their interest - this was tremendous value for RedHat for a time and helped its establishment as leading Linux for Enterprise.

Remember also what RedHat itself "stands on the shoulders of the giants" - there are a lot of packages which RedHat includes. Years ago when I worked at MySQL AB RedHat used to include MySQL packages, say they are covered by their "subscription" but have no revenue share with MySQL AB (as creators)

Note I'm not complaining I'm saying this is exactly how things upposed to work - MySQL got great value from being Open Source and allowing Linux distributions to include it (and make money on it) freely.
Now that is what I would call a shady meet. Parasites indeed and spirit too. I'm actively removing their stuff from wherever I can from now on.
The article states that it’s “generally an average-to-poor book”. Is KnR a poor book?
UIUC published stats for 2022[1]: 1 in 4 for engineering and business (roughly top-50 university odds), 1 in 15 for computer science (roughly top-10 university odds), a coin flip or better for most other majors. General admit seems pretty relaxed at 44.8%.

The Blizzard brands also have a massive hold in terms of player attention. Other than the names, I'm not sure it would be exceedingly difficult to re-create CoD style gameplay in another game. I mean even CoD isn't so unique, just critical mass and popularity over time.

In the end, it's the brands themselves that hold customers. They carry from release to release, good and bad. That's a harder ground to make up for than gameplay or style.
> What an example of how local optimizations within an organization can destroy long term customer value.

It's not clear that they haven't profited more by having people retain prime through these patterns than they have lost through losing consumer trust.
Do you support WebTransport in addition to WebSockets?
Cool story bro. Thanks for assuming I'm an idiot. Fidel did declare war on the US, so I'd say that ethically speaking that made him a legitimate target. Yes, the US had a pragmatic policy of "we don't assassinate" (nominally because we don't want our president to be the target of assassination), so I will concede that it's a tad hypocritical.

A better example would have been like dole wars, or maybe tacit support of pinochet but that's kinda dated and the US is definitely trending towards less of that shit.

If china's like "well the US did it so it should be ok for us", the correct response is: yeah, so? Be better.
No, on first read, I thought OpenAI had been hacked, but it looks like it's a malware thing. I'm not likely amongst the pwned.

But also not joking...every one of my chats really do end in limericks :)
Adding Delimiters Between String Elements in C++
Cloud seeding alters precipitation patterns by single digit percentages. While this might be economically important, it would probably not be an effective method of hydrological warfare. Only a very select set of places could be targeted, it would take a very long time to have any practical effect, and it would be obvious long beforehand what was happening and who was doing it. Seems like a really easy way to give your neighbor a casus belli against you while in no way restricting their ability to wage war.
Isn't there a blackout period for the hoi polloi that prevent them from selling for ~90 days after the IPO? Big shots get to sell ofc but your average employee will have to watch the post-IPO slump go deeper and deeper.

Still probably worth waiting out, but it's not like there's a big payday at the end of this rainbow for most. Could probably negotiate some kind of bonus with new employer to offset that loss, even.
Maybe you haven’t used in Uber in awhile, but it definitely does more than just connecting taxis to clients in 2023.
This is the dumbest landing page I ever saw. It wants me to sign up without one shred of information about what it's offering. Apparently it has something to do with insurance, and there's vague claims about saving money, but that's about it. Sorry, that's not enough to get my email address.
Except roll the clock back a bit and your would have been talking about Lotus, Machine Learning, and Unix/PowerPC.

And we see what IBM has done with leadership in those areas, as well as a long line of other areas where they somehow managed to turn themselves into a 3rd rate competitor despite being in the right place at the right time.

So, you have to ask yourself, for example how its possible that people are falling over themselves to build a RISCv ecosystem from the ground up, when openpower has been around for a decade now, and IBMs been looking for partners there since the original AIM alliance.
this was the post that made me feel this way:

I just want to say that I support peoples right to self-actualize and we should all be loving and supportive to anyone who is questioning their gender. But I've never seen this sub on the front page before and this article was on the front page for like 2 days. There are many in the thread commenting that the parents are at fault for doctor shopping, and generally discussing questioning laws being passed to force parents to support their children's decisions to transition. These are important discussions for us as a society, what level of autonomy do we assign to parents vs children vs government when it comes to permanent bodily alterations such as hormones and surgeries that impact the rest of their lives, and most of the discussion would simply be removed and people not 100% supportive would be banned if there had been a woke mod crew for this subreddit.
Fedora is pretty independent of Red Hat, especially since Red Hat fired the Fedora project lead.
> Inexplicably, they don't slide down. Regular socks slowly work themselves down into your shoe over a day (depending on the build quality), but toe socks break sock physics and just...don't.

I think the author went from wearing very low quality socks to decent socks due to cheap low-quality toe socks not existing and has discovered that good socks actually do make a difference, but then misattributed some of that to them being toe socks.
It doesn't help climate change awareness by pushing shoddy science like this. Author says "in the 1950s, the state’s fire season lasted about four months; today, it is effectively year round, and the acreage burned during the most severe seasons (1950 versus 2020) has increased eightfold (to say nothing of lives and property lost)." but there is no reference for that.

Here are stats of wildfire activity from 1987, which shows the number of fires is dropping, and acreage burned is about the same (it varies a lot):

https://34c031f8-c9fd-4018-8c5a-4159cdff6b0d-cdn-endpoint.az...

Esstimates show that fire acreage has reduced from 4.5 million acres a year pre gold rush to less than half of that figure now:

It's counter-productive to use fake science to push climate change awareness, as it will have the opposite of the intended effect, and will just allow people to ignore it.
It's actually less distorted in some ways :)
Agree the quality of Apple Maps has improved to the point of acceptability in my experience. In addition to privacy reasons, I end up using Apple Maps because Google Maps has been having a lot of really terrible bugs for me lately. Probably 10+ times over the last few years it re-routes me down random side streets or back country roads, for no reason: sometimes even when it itself thinks doing so will add a significant amount of time to my travel! But for business search and reviews, Gmaps is still unparalleled, so it stays installed.
Those poor devs. I bet some of them had come up with great ideas, which they had to watch overruled by marketing people.
The best source of truth is found in the here and now, grounded in the body and one’s immediate environment.

We socialize with each other to regulate each other - ideally taking that grounded truth and intermingling it with the grounded truth of others.

This has always been the healthy way.
I am not conflating anything, I am reading section 1.4 of the agreement which specifically 1.4 that says

> Agreement establishes the rights and obligations associated with Subscription Services and is not intended to limit your rights to software code under the terms of an open source license

So if the preceding section 1.2(F) and 1.2(G) do prohibit redistribution of SOURCE CODE, then it is in fact limiting your rights under to software code under the terms of an open source license.

1.2(F) and 1.2(G) would limit your right to distribute "software" generally defined a complied code, but not source code.
"Woke" has always meant being grokking (in the truest sense) the plight of minorities and minority groups (e.g. LGBTQ+). In other words, people who have woken up to what's going on around them.

Using it as a slur, as originally done by Trump, places you into a very specific camp that is certainly nowhere near moderate.
Yes. I am certain that you are being deceptive.

So I looked around.

For a 33 year old driver, single, male, unmarried, with no tickets/accidents/etc., living in Sudbury, ON:

Intact Insurance:

2022 Tesla Model S LR 4DR: $178.17/mo [1]

2022 Acura NSX Hybrid 2DR AWD: $535.08/mo [2]

TD Insurance:

2022 Tesla Model S LR 4DR: $232.42 [3]

2022 Acura NSX Hybrid 2DR AWD: "CALL" [4]

Rather than calling I went to BrokerLink, which lets you get quotes from different sources. The average quotes given by BrokerLink for each vehicle were:

2022 Tesla Model S LR 4DR: $360/mo [5]

2022 Acura NSX Hybrid 2DR AWD: $520/mo [6]

So no, I do not believe you are being honest. There is no reason to believe that.

Real advantage is much less animal cruelty and much much less pollution, in case of cows literally fighting global warming big time.

If it tastes like meat from previously live animals, it definitely can be called meat, albeit its good to clearly distinguish it from the other. I know from folks around me they wouldnt mind it as long the taste is OK, has some good safety checks for various nasty chemicals and price is reasonable.

Developing an app for the Apple App Store requires careful planning, utilization of Apple technologies, and a deep understanding of the target audience. In this article, we’ll explore the process behind creating an app for the App Store, focusing on our own app, Lil Artist. Lil Artist is a learning platform designed for children aged 2–7, aimed at fostering creativity, critical thinking, and educational growth. By leveraging Apple’s tools and technologies, we were able to provide a seamless user experience and create an app that engages young minds. The app was developed by a small but mighty team of talented individuals, including Tarun Jain, Aman Jain, Arima Jain, and Rupali Jagati. They utilized Apple technologies to create a captivating app with a unique sense of humor.
This is dumb idea from someone who does not use online forums. When someone keeps making stupid points against me online, I get only more dug in on my views. If anything, you would want to make a bot to say "Not X" so the pro-X side could feel better about how dumb the opposition to X is.
How many employees would seem reasonable for Reddit to you? Also a sincere question.
The main thing to be aware of is charter schools and school vouchers. The latter literally diverts public funds to parents who want to send their kids to private schools.

Charter schools are more subtle. They are privately run schools which often can work around regulations which restrict public schools (for example, they may not have to hire union teachers). There are de jure rules to make sure that these schools are accessible to everyone in the community, but often there are informal methods by which these schools end up being just for white students (for instance, the administration will wait until the school choice period is over and then selectively eject non-white kids).

Eh, 'fast food' has bled over into what you eat daily, hence your conflation of the two.

Your home made stir fry is likely using a bottle of some kind of sauce that is 30% sugar massively increasing its calories.

But conversely your home made stir fry, if using plenty of vegetables, is going to have a much larger amount of fiber than that white bread bun should should reduce your desire to snack.
We seem to even be hating on RedHat now. (I was bummed about the Centos thing too). People on this thread are acting like Redhat doesn't even release any free software.

Why Malware Crypting Services Deserve More Scrutiny
Funny you mention that, I was just listening to the Tropical MBA podcast, and last week they had a guy who works in private equity come on the show. He explained a lot of basics of how PE works, since the podcast is mostly about small-scale bootstrapping and hiding out in cheap locations. It sounds like having a ton of headcount actually does make you look way more valuable to business investors, at least at the low end he was talking about.. I could see how that would scale up
> Red Hat cannot stop or prevent a customer from distributing RHEL packages and software to third parties. However, Red Hat reserves the right to terminate any existing subscriptions a customer may have as a result of their package distributing.

IANAL, but not so sure about that. From GPLv3:

> You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.

That sounds like a further restriction.
How does that work given that web servers have request logs that capture some identifying info? You already know some things about the user before you can even serve them the consent popup.
Reddit doesn’t like to remember it, but it’s fundamentally a site where users provide content, and only a small fraction of users provide the most popular content (and do moderation). Those fraction tend to be the more advanced users that use things like third party apps or RES. So hurting those users is decreasing the amount of free work that the users give to Reddit, which means that either the site decreases in quality (less revenue) or Reddit needs to pay employees to do the same work (higher costs).

The cost of the third party apps themselves was trivial, and if they just wanted to recoup those costs they could have proposed a much more reasonable cost per user for third party apps.

It’s about control, not about profit.

Unfortunately I don't. I wish I did though. I have tried some training, to no avail. When hear a pitch I have no notion of uniqueness.

However, since I listen to so much music and tune my violin to A 440Hz every time I play, my ear knows when something is off even by a degree or two when listening to some European orchestras. And I think every musician hates out of tune music :)

There is a really cool phenomenon with some musicians who play instruments with a one to one correspondence between a pitch and feeling + fingering (so woodwinds, and sort of brass) that have played long tones for so long that they have internalized the "feeling" of a note and can (with a small delay) seem like they have absolute pitch. Really cool stuff. A youtuber called Saxologic dubbed this ability "Real Pitch". Really interesting video showing this in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4zo6POThHc
It looks quite extensive, and should cover almost all practical cases.

The main limitation I see is that it seems you are limited to picking the units to convert between from predefined lists. If someone gave you say a volume specified in nmi ft^2 for instance and you wanted to convert it m^3 you'd have to do nmi to m and ft^2 to m^2 and then multiply the results to get nmi ft^2 to m^3 because nmi ft^2 is not on the volume unit list.

Those cases are probably pretty rare. It is not often that you run in to people who give you say a gasoline consumption rate of 23 picoacres or give you a cookie recipe that calls for 1.6 barn megaparsecs of vanilla. (BTW, those are 0.04 gal/mile and 1 tsp, respectively).
This is why I think this document was too detailed and should have omitted low-level details. The way you optimize your code hasn't really changed since 2007, but the hardware churn since then triggers people to say "well akshually the northbridge..."
Ask HN: When denormalize is preferred instead normalization?
So I'm a solo developer and I have problem with my small product(saas 2 client)

So this app is handling my client main business transaction like selling their services. I saved the transaction detail into a record, who is the client, how much the cost, what services is it.

Then my client also want the app to have accounting feature

Problem is I find it hard to design the system

My current approach is on every transaction record it have a child record (the accounting journal postings)

And I copying value and detail from the parent object to child object, that is needed for accounting task.
every time the parent object is saved(rails callback)

is it bad practices? Should I just refer the value instead copying it?

But if I refer the value instead copying it I think I will meet with query complexity problem
Disclosure: Work for AWS. My only experience with Prime is as a customer (and the odd beta for new types of programming).

I wouldn't read much into the internal names of things at Amazon. They're picked at random by nerds. I've seen apps internally named after space, Dragon Ball Z, Lord of the Rings, coffee and candy, etc. I'm pretty sure I've used another, completely different thing that's also called Iliad.

It's not malicious. It's just one of those Amazon things that make working there sometimes a chore.

Based on the "get shit done" mentality some startup founders have, I wouldn't be surprised if that was true.
> There’s also something just a little reductionist about the whole enterprise of teaching your kids to have absolute pitch somewhat in isolation. (Yes, there’s something about playing Chopin etc. It just reads like an experiment in trying to develop musicianship by isolating one of a thousand parts rather than developing it holistically and organically.)

This article was a fascinatingly uneducated take on what it means to learn music mixed in with a classic dose of American "my child is better than you." Like many piano students who started early, I too played some easy Chopin music at ~6, and I bet most later starters also play some Chopin within 1-2 years of starting (in fact, I bet they reach the Chopin sooner).

Perfect pitch is very much not required to be a professional musician, and seems to help only in a few areas, and only by accelerating your musical education a bit. I'm sure it makes things like the Suzuki method easier for young children, but you arguably shouldn't use the Suzuki method to teach music to your kids anyway since it tends to guide them to a local maximum by emphasizing ear training over reading. Learning pieces by listening rather than reading works for easy pieces, but I bet nobody has learned the Hammerklavier Sonata or a Paganini Caprice by ear.

I really wish the idea of "racing" through your musical education with hacks like this would stop - the only real way to get to advanced levels quickly is with a shit load of practice. My friends who went to international competitions at 18-20 were all practicing 5+ hours a day by age 12, and several of them actually started their music education at age 7-9 rather than obscenely early like this.
Apple Maps tells you "after this light, turn right" which is great while I am on my motorcycle and can't quickly read the street signs.

It means my phone can stay in my pocket and I can still get directions to where I am going without needing to look down at the screen to figure out that I need to pass this next traffic light then turn right at "Something st" when I can't even see the sign for "Something st" and looking for that sign would take my focus off the road/other drivers.
IMO Teams is pretty meh... most of them are... and while I like most of Slack better, it is what it is. Teams fits in for those tied to other MS services, Azure AD, O/M365, etc.

I do wish Teams. would put a little more effort on their Linux client though. I know it's just an electron wrapper, but still. A little testing and supporting the non-enterprise users would be nice.

While I appreciate parts of what MS has done, it's a massive corporation with different divisions doing things that are much more open and others much more closed off. I'm sure there's lots of in-fighting between the differing approaches.
I think you mean anti-copyleft.

Free Software and Open Source are essentially the same, despite the philosophical differences. The issue here is against the copyleft (GPL and AGPL).
