Developing FOSS is not the only thing people care about: this discussion, in particular, is about working on standards.

You seem to be debating some other claim (about how FOSS can be maintained well) than people wanting to do things they care about when they are "settled". What I meant there is that they don't have to do their day jobs, which most of those millions you mention have to.

I have my own thoughts on FOSS (most of it is "finished" in that it served a purpose and there is no need for maintenance, even if it's imperfect and buggy), but we are not at a state where there are large groups of people who have the means not to care about regular income at all to know what they'd do.

FWIW, in the worst of times, it was the aristrocacy that pushed science and arts forward, because they were the only ones who had the means to do it: it wasn't as fast paced as today, bit it didn't stop either. We've since "democraticised" science and arts (gamifying it a bit) by also making jobs out of it and increasing access to education.

Sure, we don't need everyone to care about everything, but there will always be a critical mass of people caring about critical stuff.
> Mobile games aren't any less expensive to develop than desktop or console games

What accounts for that? Even discounting AAA desktop/console games, mobile games are generally expected to have less content and they're written in higher level languages.

Seconded, this is what I do.
It's pretty turgid. The original comment was actually good.
So wait...

Can't somebody take the precedent set by those lawyers using ChatGPT to whip up nonsense for the court, and take these DMCA mills to tadk for conduct unbecoming for not verifying that, in fact, any software generated flag actually has merit before the Courts?

The Courts have been clear and unambiguous that their time is not to be wasted on BS, and that an attorney has the Duty of Care to ensure that what they vouch for is representative, and truthful.

Why is this still done at the scale it is if, in fact, the Courts are enforcing due rigor?

...The answer likely is, they aren't, and big tech is usurping the authority of the Courts to weigh in, thereby disrupting due process. In doing so, their legal team is committing the same censurious behavior, by advising their client to act unlawfully too.

Frankly, I'd start being thrilled at such notices if I could find an attorney willing to take a shot at holding notice generators to account for false positives, and service providers who cancel service without complying with due process accountable.

In fact, if the Courts were sufficiently dedicated to it, it would create a selection pressure on attorneys to ultimately be truthful, lest they be hunted by one of their fellow attorneys who actually is honest, and willing to check.

Who watches the watchers? Another watcher, with the incentive to reap a reward for proving the falsity of a claim.

Let the attorneys feast on one another for a bit, and eventually we should reestablish some sanity.
btop++ is great.

For measuring parallel CPU utilisation, I still prefer htop because it dedicates more screen space to “here and now” CPU usage for each core.
I am not sure what would grate on me more - this happening every so often, or my vehicle demanding that I click “I accept” every time I start it when it reminds me not to use the screen while driving. Thousands of times since I bought the vehicle I’ve had to acknowledge that no, I haven’t forgotten that Chrysler wants to cover its ass.

> it appeared the worker had “intentionally stepped in front of the live engine” on the jet and that police were investigating that aspect.

Is this supposed to suggest it was suicide-by-jet-engine?

I'm unclear what work "intentionally" is doing in this sentence. Does it mean it's just normal walking as opposed to slipped-and-fell-off-the-wing, or that she walked in front of it knowing full well it was live and would be lethal?
Yeah, same point I’m making - what other language declares variables like that? It’s a mess!
There is dconf (previously gconf) in GNOME (not sure if it ever became used in more than one desktop env).
I mean, at the end of the day it's opt-in deluxe entertainment, and games have been attacked on this vector for decades. They are by nature time wasters and they (console games) can arguably be money wasters depending on how many games or whay kinds of games you play. We did especially have an era of this with MMOs.

The game design patterns aren't new nor novel. Retaining players with repetitive grinds, using guilds to create peer pressure to stay, daily rotating events with a trickle of currency used to obtain desirable characters/gear. You could trace all that back to WOW and several Korean MMOs. The only difference is that they can reach a wider audience now, some of which they drew in from the console market.
> I had to Grok Integrant again because I wouldn't understand my project otherwise.

You can use plain functions and `reduce` for system composition if you want. Take a look at how Biff does it: https://biffweb.com/p/thinking-about-system-composition/

DI should be used sparingly for the top-level, stateful pieces of your system. If you can't understand your program without it, is this a problem with Clojure itself or the design of the program?

> And when it comes to best practices around unit testing, it's another one of those things where no one in the community seems to be sharing much about it.

The `clojure.test` API has stayed the same for the last decade and that's what you'll see in most projects. Is the concern about how to run tests? Both of the following libraries work well:

- Minimal test runner: https://github.com/cognitect-labs/test-runner

- Full-featured test runner: https://github.com/lambdaisland/kaocha

If you install neil (https://github.com/babashka/neil), you can do `neil add test` which will automatically set up cognitect-labs/test-runner in your project. Then you can run tests with `neil test` (just an alias, you don't have to use it).

> I used Kit to bootstrap this project and the way it set up tests doesn't even work, but this was what most people recommended to me for starting a Clojure project

I don't really like the approach that Kit takes and prefer something more opinionated like Biff. I'd love to hear your feedback if you do end up trying out Biff.

Current LiPoly replacement batteries are not sold as consumer items. You can't buy them off a peg at a normal retail store. Take a look at phone batteries sometime and make note of the logos everyone ignores.

A UR mark (its a backwards printed UR) is a UL certification for components meant to go in a UL listed product but themselves aren't individually certified as UL products. Not that UL or any other testing labs are the end-all be-all of safety but in liability terms they are important.

The UR testing means the component isn't outright defective for purpose when installed in the UL listed device. So if there's ever a lawsuit around a device and all the components are UR labeled and the product is UL listed the manufacturer is unlikely to be forced to recall that entire class of device.

In order for a battery to get UL listed instead of UR listed it needs additional testing (money) and any sub-models or major changes need to be retested. It's much easier to get UR labeling for a component that can only be used in the intended UL listed device. Phone retailers do not want component-only certified things sitting in warehouses in shitty retail packaging.

Besides the whole liability issue there's issue of scale. Manufacturing a hundred million widgets with glue to hold batteries in place is more efficient than screws. Screws require screw holes, assembly is slower, and screws work themselves loose with thermal expansion/contraction. Glue is more efficient for assembly and overall safer over the life of the device (measured in the total manufacturing run divided by defects from battery slippage).

Devices could require fewer disassembly steps but it would be at the cost of assembly complexity. A $1 more in assembly costs is an extra hundred million it costs Apple or Samsung for just one model of phone.

I know Apple is just evil and can do no right but there are reasons shit is built they way it is. iPhones are far sturdier and resilient than they were ten years ago and their batteries last as long/longer despite higher power draw of their SoC and radios. Part of that sturdiness is gluing pieces together to better handle impacts and batteries that have more power storage per volume because they do t need thick impact shells. There's pretty good odds that making an iPhone with less glue and more easily replaced batteries would lead to more phones going in the trash due to them breaking more easily.
That's good there are still some physical copies our there. It seems for PC and Xbox, it's mostly downloads. I bought a disk for RockSmith thinking it was a physical copy - all it did was download download and ply it through Steam.

> Google Alert informed me that I am the subject of deepfake pornography

I have so many questions on this line alone, it's a world I didn't know existed. What is a Google Alert? How does Google know this deepfake exists? How does Google go about determining a real vs deepfaked pornographic video?

I'm not sure I'd say it tests your webdev skills? A lot of stuff is just way too vague
> But, let's be frank here: They monetize you and me, us, the users because 1 they can and, 2, they have to.

Don't let them. No FB. No WhatsApp. No Instagram. I take entire IP blocks assigned to Meta and traffic to/from these IPs is simply dropped. I take their domains and nullroute them too, because I can.

Once you do that, you become harder to monetize.
> I can tell you from experience that there is no better way to burn bridges and get people to dislike you when you do that.

Agreed, with the caveat that I’ve almost always not regretted letting the bridge burn, because I dislike them for not being able to handle a simple but polite “no” as much as they dislike me for offering it.
I've been working in the tech industry in the US for about 5 years. Ever since I knew myself I've been coding. From middle school to high school, given any problem, like Sudoku, or keeping up daily chores, my solution was Programming! Programming wasy homebase. Then I studied it in uni, thought I was kinda good at it, and loved it.

But when I started working in the industry, I realized that it's absolutely exhausting. Hype after hype, fad after fad, modern after modern, refactor after refactor. I have a workflow, I know how to build apps. Then one day director of Ops comes and completely and utterly changes the workflow. Ok fine, I'm young, will learn this. Month passes, it is now Terraform. Ok fine I'm young, will learn this. Now we're serverless. Ok fine, will learn. Now everything is container. Ok. Now everything microservice. K. Now turns out lambdas aren't good, so everything is ECS. OK will rewrite everything...

Look I'm not even complaining. But it feels like I'm stuck in a Franz Kafka novel. We just keep changing and changing the same things again and again because that's the new way to do. Big distraction. Destroys your workflow. Forget about all the util scripts you wrote last 6 months being useless.

I don't even know how I would do it. Maybe I would do this the same way if I had any power. But that doesn't change the fact that it's a bit ridiculous. Fun but tiring. Entertaining but exhausting. Cute but frustrating.
They do, there are some gacha on the switch. Most notably, Genshin was trying to promise a Switch port, but never delivered.
In my field communicating with other English-speaking people is probably 80% of the job. Someone who cannot read and write clear English prose will not be successful. Serious question: if I eliminate someone from contention because they struggle to read, write, and speak English, is that “discrimination”?

> I don't believe in souls

Consider IM to be any immaterial "self" that you believe wouldn't be included in the clone - doesn't have to be a soul as various religions may conceptualize.

> and that a single consciousness cannot inhabit two bodies

I believe there could be two bodies with identical personalities/memories/train-of-thought/etc. (whatever we label as consciousness) at some instant, but they would diverge due to different environments and not have any kind of special link between them.

> what is your hypothesis about the more-or-less instant transfer of that quality to a remote planet's newly created clone?

In my view it's just included in the clone - there's nothing extra that hasn't been cloned that needs to be transferred afterwards. If you totally clone an ocean, it has the same waves.
The microbiome for the baby comes from the mother as it passes through the birth canal or in the case c-section to a lesser degree via breast feeding - bootstrapping us for healthy digestive tract.
I'm no fan of the way that technology is going, but the author seems to be confused.

The fact that people share these videos is rapidly becoming immaterial. Face swapping software doesn't require some sort of underground network, one person can do this for themselves without the videos ever being shared.

So whilst she may be able to avoid the harassment problem of having specific videos thrust into her face on Twitter or whatever - they'll still be out there, just behind closed doors.

Or even barely behind closed doors at all - given suitable software, it's not hard to come up with the prompt "Fred Bloggs sitting on a cucumber in stockings".

It's hard. Personally I've given up and I just carry my Steam Deck with me if I'm going somewhere that I might have some down time. If I don't have it, I'll read HN or news or something on my phone rather than play a game.

That said, I've had pretty good luck by looking at the Play store "Top Paid" list of games. The worst of the offenders allow you to play for "free" so won't be in that list. I've also had good luck by finding games on Steam that have Android ports. They tend to be higher quality.

A few games that are awesome:

1. Radiant by HEXAGE (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hexage.rad...)

2. Oceanhorn by FDG Entertainment (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.FDGEnterta...)

3. Stardew Valley by ConcernedApe (though I much prefer playing this on Steam Deck) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chucklefis...)
As I understand it, "capabilities" in capability-based schemes uniquely reference an object and specify a list of access rights on that object. This seems fairly similar to tuples in Zanzibar, which reference a unique object, an access right, and a unique subject whom the access right belongs to. You can think of Zanzibar as a layer used for defining, storing, and querying for capabilities.

It could also just be true. Im not sure why you'd start making assumptions without reasons for doing so
I cite Western sources solely because I presume most people here don't read Russian. I had to look it up.

My personal hypothesis about the dam is that it was negligence and perhaps a misguided attempt to "partially demolish it". The main piece of evidence against Ukrainian/Western action is the resolution of Russian Government "On the specifics of application in the territories of the Donetsk People's Republic, Luhansk People's Republic, Zaporizhzhia region and Kherson region of the provisions of the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of industrial safety of hazardous production facilities and safety of hydraulic structures", issued a week prior to the catastrophe[1], that says among many other similar things:

> d) technical investigation of the causes of accidents at hazardous production facilities and accidents at hydraulic structures shall be carried out by commissions headed by representatives of the authorized bodies.

> a) The provisions of Part Six of Article 10 of the Federal Law "On Safety of Hydraulic Structures" shall not apply until 1 September, 2023;

> 8. Until March 1, 2024 the information on hydraulic structures, located in the territories of the Donetsk People's Republic, Lugansk People's Republic, Zaporozhye Region and Kherson Region and put into operation until June 1, 2023, may be submitted for their inclusion in the Russian register of hydraulic structures without submission of the declaration of safety of hydraulic structures.

> *10. Until January 1, 2028 the technical investigation of accidents at hazardous production facilities and accidents at hydraulic structures, which occurred as a result of military actions, sabotage and terrorist acts, shall not be carried out.*

I'm way past trying to reason about qui bono. Sometimes it works (Nord Stream), sometimes Russia is just a magical place where stuff happens.

I agree this is a very complicated issue.

If someone were to draw a watercolor painting of a likeness of a President one doesn't like having sex with an equally despised congresswoman, most would agree that this is a classic "free speech issue" and is the very sort of protected speech that first ammendment clearly protects.

Ignoring tangential issues, like the copyright of the images used in the "deep fake", how is this situation any different?
Take a close look at Inside Macintosh. Volume 1 if memory serves.

One thing I do recall is that a menu should be +/- 7 menu items. The reasoning is that people can remember about seven things.

Default buttons (ok/cancel) should always be non-destructive. You don’t want your default button to delete a file, for instance. The reasoning is that users will hit return by default on a dialog box.

The most important thing I’ve learnt over the years is workflow. Build your UI by having actual users use it and critique it. As an example, if you’re filling a form or table in, move to the next cell/field when they hit tab or return. That’s one thing that makes an application good versus useable.
When was '2 weeks ago' and did it come before or after '2 weeks ago'?
Why are timestamps increasingly being replaced by vaguely worded junk?

This has been happening for a long time, but today Github told me that when filtering issues based on creation time, "Date formatting must follow the ISO8601 standard". This is the hill they die on, I guess... Except, the reason I was looking up the syntax for this in the first place was because the creation times are displayed in such a useless manner.

I don't know, it just seems like for anything older than a day it's easier to think about when things happened, not how long ago something happened.
And then the resolution degrades to useless levels for anything older than 'today' anyway.
