> Corporations are doing that to us, but way more subtly, but with no less of an impact in the long run

Corporations generally don't send a missile into a pizza shop to kill two 15 year old twins, or send conscripts into battle and shoot at them if they retreat.
My point is, excluding Haredi their fertility rate is high enough for population growth and it is significantly higher than in other developed countries even among secular population. Naïve hypotheses like above cannot explain that.

Just add a low voltage electric fence to 2 plates glued underwater at port and starboard. Salt water conducts, also Orca's conduct - some small current flow that will be repellant to the Orca's, but not harmful.
They do this to repel carp swimming upriver. one of those, with proper voltage and current limiting should be felt by an orca, but not harm the orca. A little experimentation will find a safe repellant level.

The US government has been requiring those rights for decades. They probably have them to the Stinger as well, they just assume that no one else can start a manufacturing line faster

That is a far cry from the DoD publishing the specs.

Soccer will always struggle in the US because of culture. Outside of the US, soccer is the sport everyone gathers around the TV to watch, but here in the US that's usually the NFL. If American Football never came to existence and we played soccer like the rest of the world I bet that the US would have dominated and we would have clubs like PSG and Real Madrid. But because we have American Football here, all the money and attention is on that sport and soccer is just a niche sport.

The MLS can do alot to become more popular but it won't ever be what soccer in the rest of the world is because to do that they would have to dethrone American Football which is just never happening.
Usually the argument goes that it would take time/money to rewrite the parts they don't have rights to, but simply deleting those parts and releasing the (now broken) code would be much better than nothing. Of course this assumes they kept track of who owns what code in the first place. Probably a bad assumption in the case of games particularly.
Not that I disagree with you entirely, but please, Russia is killing and disfiguring men, women and children with rocket artillery, kidnapping kids, tearing families and human lives to pieces. The impact on Ukraine, now AND in the long run, is an will be enormous and absolutely incomparable to corporations screwing people up with subscriptions.
This is almost entirely in your head.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying to interrupt someone mid-run or talk to someone focused with ear-buds in.

If someone is leaving the gym, you can say 'hey got a sec?', If they answer 'no', that is their answer.

(Also, people who put makeup and tight pants on for the gym, are looking to be hit on. The people trying to be ignored, will put 0 effort into their appearance and will have a stare 100 ft in front of them. Even if you miss these signs, the worst thing that is going to happen is that you are turned down and they wasted 5 minutes. I'm sure the married people ITT had no issue interrupting these beautiful people's precious time. )

EDIT: If you need to, have a bonus reason for talking to someone: "I'm trying to find someone who knows nutrition for a nonprofit" or "I'm looking for a mechanical engineer for a product I'm thinking about".
"An actual war breaking out, against the full Russian army, that NATO isn't directly involved in so it's fought in a very different way than NATO would, but in which a large part of the equipment is still provided by NATO" is quite different though.

NATO would have air superiority and not need as many stingers.
I love this analogy.

Sometimes it's a perfectly good fence, sometimes it's an invisible spatial anomaly that turns people inside out.

A stinger missile has a rocket motor who's back blast can easily cause serious injuries or death to a grown adult man; every manual for shoulder launch munitions calls to make sure that the backblast area of a launcher is clear of friendlies.

There's 1.02kg of HTA high explosive to launch shrapnel with. The M67 fragmentation grenade carries 0.182 kg of high explosive, kill radius of 5 meters, injury radius of 15 meters.

Would you want, "Move fast and break things," development attitude with an electronically detonated bomb less then an inch from your head?

I hear a good number of people in contemporary musical academic circles talk about how overly simplified western music is, given its 12 tones, mostly rigid adherence to predictable rhythmic structures, and reliance on transcription. But I think the opposite of them; the simplicity of the scales and the consistency of the notation is marvelous. We can convene directly with the long-dead people who were making this stuff up 400 years ago. It's the encoding of information into a more durable storage medium than peer-to-peer.
>Welcome to the wonderful world of A/B testing and/or gradual rollouts!

Good A/B testing only works if you're measuring for the right things. When you get into the realms of "engagement is down but revenue generated is at $X" and X meets a goal, you're doing it in bad faith.

Given that a big fat ad thumbnail is a pre-selected item that fills half the screen on the YT TV client, we are left to assume that engagement resigned from Google a while ago.

>Whenever I pause a video on one device, and open Youtube on another (Confirmed web desktop -> mobile app or mobile app -> web desktop, but I don't have a TV to test), the video that was playing on the other device shows up paused, as the given platform's miniplayer. Below you can see a desktop screenshot.

This doesn't work at all for me TV -> TV. TV -> mobile device also does not work. I'd be interested to know, if you do try this with TV, whether you can get it to work.
You know, we could just bin the entire sector/activity under dishonesty like we did before puffery was enshrined as an acceptable behavior for a business.
I'm no fan of the US military-industrial complex. We spend almost $1 trillion a year on the military and can't account for where it goes [1]. It's absolutely true that we have a military profiteering problem.

But I'm not sure that's what's going on here. Think of the Saturn V. When Congress greenlit the SLS, the obvious question came up: why not just build the Saturn V again? And the answer is... we can't. Obviously there are specs and manufacturing processes and documentation for taht but I'm not sure we even have it all. Some of it was rushed too and bespoke. These were really hand-built every time. Also, materials science has changed in the past 50+ years so it may be an issue producing materials that are to spec.

These are remarkably complex systems. And you have to fit in with current logistics processes. Users, installers and maintenance crews need to be trained. If what you build now behaves differently, it's a potential problem. Think of the MCAS issues with the 737MAX. That was a system added to counter more reliable and more powerful engines that were placed more forward on the airframe. You see how these things can cascade.

I'm not sure about compute, but in graphics NVIDIA is still winning by a lot in terms of performance per watt. That's a huge challenge for AMD even if the card itself is priced competitively, especially as you scale beyond single-card consumer systems.
I have no idea how publishing the exact specifications for a weapons system, and the presumptive flaws that can be exploited by countermeasures, would be a good thing.
I “rediscovered” LEGO in my early 30’s. Turns out when you’re an adult, LEGO isn’t that expensive and you can just buy a set. Walk into a store and walk out with a brand new set!

It’s an amazing and dangerous freedom. 3 short years later and I have more sets than space.

Now all I need is the time and space I had as a kid to treat LEGO as a tool for invention. Build stuff out of imagination, not a blueprint. Then again, as an adult, I could also get a bunch of power tools and “play with LEGOs” without using actual LEGOs … hmmmm

Small correction, the original Copyright Act of 1790 was a 14 year term, with the option to renew it once more for another 14 year term or 28 years total.

The Copyright Act of 1831 was an extension of the original copyright term from 14 years to 28 years, with the same option to renew once for another 14 years, or 42 years. It takes until 1976 for copyright to start to extend into incredibly long lengths of time.

The last update to Copyright law 24 years ago was also post DMCA being established. Seems hardly a coincidence that both go hand in hand as being unwieldy to non corporate entities.

Put another way, I'm not sure what you would be paying for instead of using Audacity (for a full blown DAW, I'd still go with Reaper). I haven't used MuseScore in a long time (it was good enough for me back then), but it had also been improving a lot lately. And I don't know of anyone who still uses WinZip (though I still see WinRar on less savvy users).
Not relevant to C, of course, but Ruby supports something like this with `?a` being equivalent to `"a"` (both of which are strings, since Ruby doesn’t distinguish strings from characters). From what I’ve seen, it is recommended against in most styles, I assume because it is harder to read for most people.

You could also diff the binaries with the unmodified version. We did that at work once (on behalf of the publisher of the same software) and the cracked version was literally one byte different. Just to be sure, we also reverse-engineered that part of the code to see what the original vs. cracked logic did. No surprises, no malware, just skipping over the license check.

I never heard about having to do this during an interview, but it sounds concerning.

My advice would be to not play mind games and just interview as yourself. Interviews go both ways, so if your interviewer is a psychopath you'd want to know sooner. Then just give the job a pass.
This is right on the money. I've lived outside of the US a couple of different times and I found out to be true as well. It's harder and harder to imagine the future in the US getting any better. Quite the opposite. Many people can feel it even if they don't understand why.

It is an endeavor! For books and movies, others made good suggestions for tools. For music, reminders, notes and photos I find it's worth paying for icloud. It works quite well on windows too these days so subsequently I use it to store most of my files too[1], except files which are too big or copyrighted. There's a compelling argument to use a file server instead of the cloud because it's really the only way to have everything in one place. So first of all you need to decide to use cloud or your own drive/file server.

For file organization, I tried to organize so many times but it was too big of a job to start. So I finally decided to do it by year. I have a documents folder with folders such as "2023". Inside that I simply make a folder for anything such as "taxes" or "CV". For some years everything is in one "unsorted" folder. It's low friction to throw stuff in there as you find it, and not too overwhelming to sort through one year at a time. It tends to be fairly easy to remember what year things are from later.

I have a limited number of exceptions that make sense to use different organization, for example a top level folder called "gitlab"

My biggest piece of advice, as someone who struggled to get organization done for years is to be very deliberate when moving stuff and delete things from the old location as soon as you've confirmed the move and backed it up. Use a tool like rsync that can give you piece of mind that nothing was missed. If you don't delete it, you'll end up like me and finding duplicate files later and wasting time making sure it's really a duplicate before deleting it.

Same goes for backups. Put your old ones on a drive and put that in a closet or delete them if you're sure you didn't miss anything. Going forward, you'll keep your new system backed up and you don't need the confusion of nested old backups-of-backups later.

[1]I also have some of these documents in google drive (from before icloud was good), some on a file server (from a period of a few years where I thought I wanted to self-host everything). It's on my to-do list to get everything into icloud only except for files which are too big or copyrighted, then figure out a good system to mirror icloud to my file server so that I am back to having one single drive to backup and trusting that everything is there.

Hmm maybe I’m not being fair but my initial reaction is that this uses SQL.js as a database and browser tabs for backups. And then restores from the backups before each query instead of just reading from the in-memory db.
This is a better explanation: https://web.archive.org/web/20180403212547/https://caml.inri...

You'd be better off measuring actual performance on real world tasks before inferring anything. Modern CPUs overlap execution of instructions very aggressively.
Common Lisp includes a type system for static typing. Variables thus can have types in Common Lisp.

(defun foo (bar)
(declare (type (integer 100 200) bar))
...)

Above declares the variable BAR to have the type of a subtype of integers between 100 and 200.

The language standard does not enforce any static type checking.

What implementations typically might do:

* ignore it: interpreters, Lisp Machines, etc.

* use it for optimizations: most compilers incl. SBCL

* do type inference: many compilers incl. SBCL

* use it at runtime for type assertions: SBCL

* use it at compile time for type checks: SBCL

I don’t see the issue. If it’s a literal character it’s one character; if it’s `\n` or or `\0` then it’s two; if it is an octal escape it’s four; and so on.

You have to parse them the same way in a character literal as in a string literal, anyway.
