There is no reasonable solution to reflection. That we don't have an official solution here is an indictment of the C++ update process. Look to projects like Unreal Engine to see the horror and lengths that real projects have to go through to get around this.
There hasn't been a significant negative backlash, availability of the products increased, and revenue increased for the acquiring company.

The improved availability via better distribution is a win for consumers and the increase in revenue is a win for the company and shareholders.

Ironic because apparently that is the long-time strategy of Elon with Twitter (X app). Off course these plans seem pretty delusional now...
Basically bitcoin trajectory burning fuel to do useless hard math just so that you can't compete. I see same thing happening with AI chat which will pitch AI against AI until one party can't keep up all while burning fuel doing useless math.
Is this comparison video some kind of a joke? "Multiple photos of same woman reveal remarkably same face on all photos"?

The account may not be of her at all, the photos may also be fake. But this comparison is no criteria for this. Smile the same on a few photos and align by feature in Photoshop and they'll all look like that.

Street photography does not have to be in the street. The name never really had a mandatorily fixed connection to the practical expressions of the genre, or the artistic phenomenon that it is. It's about moments in passing, casual observations etc. I write this (and previous comments) as someone with a profound love for photography and that genre in particular, not as someone throwing random guesses. But thank you for the quip retort.

I might have misunderstood but I didn't see anything here about not being allowed to sell it.

The complaint was that Tesla didn't value it.

When you buy software you buy the right to use it. If the terms of the sale allow, you can transfer that right to a 3rd party. But you obviously cannot transfer it back to the manufacturer because they already own an unlimited right to do what they like with it. Your license to use the software has no value for them. What are they getting that they didn't already have?

If you need a bulb that's rarely going to be on, and only for very brief moments at that, sure, an incandescent bulb may be more ecologically sound. But if you have issues with the ecological impact of the manufacture of LED bulbs, you can't use anything involving plastic or silicon, including computers.

So yes, it is cherry picking to single out LEDs while ignoring the far bigger impact of every other electronic device in the home. It's the same as people concerned about wind turbines killing birds while ignoring power lines, windows, cars and cats. The argument sounds very insincere.
All this talk about demise of twitter, and why ?

For me at least personally, the experience is better.
No more cult of personalities with "verified" badges and wondering who gets it and who does not.

No more censorship of certain people and shadow banning, which is one of the main issues Elon even bought Twitter I think, was to create a censorship free platform for discussion.

The feeds are better, I see less stupid likes like I did for example 1 year ago, when my feed would be full of likes from people I dont care about.

Also, there is the feature of community leaving feedback on the tweet, which can show immediately that okay, this tweet is just wrong.

10 years ago was a different time socially and politically, you cannot go back to that. Also ten years ago twitter had probably much less bots and users also.
Inserting batches of items in one db transaction is faster in Posgres as well, in my experience. I expect that to be the case for all rdbms. Each transaction has a cost of "flushing", and every non-transaction query is implicitly a transaction. By doing multiple operations in one explicit transaction, the overhead of a transaction is amortized over more operations.

Not sure if it is what the GPP is referring to, but I prefer to keep a larger gap between my browser and password manager to reduce the potential spread of difficulties if the browser falls foul of a security vulnerability. The risk of this happening is of course small, it would require significant bugs in a couple of different places, but the potential damage is high. Firefox's password manager, or those built into any other web UAs, I'd be wary of for the same reason rather than it being specifically an anti-chrome thing.

An air gap would be preferable still, as that would protect from similar issues at the OS level, but that is another step or few into less practical (well, significantly more inconvenient) territory. I at least have my master password on a USB device (and backed up by other physical means in case that dies) which is only plugged in when needed, that is effectively an air gap when I don't leave the password manager unlocked between uses.
> I think it takes a lot of hubris and contempt for RH staff to know this and think that clearly you can see something they don’t.

No contempt whatsoever, this decision of theirs is very well aligned with most companies do. Also, it's not that I'm seeing and they don't, it's just the whole "lost revenue" fallacy from piracy or clones or wtv, that I don't like. Just like I actually detest the whole "capture users" lingo usually used nowadays.

> I’m inclined to believe they know what they’re doing.
I'm inclined to believe that, like any other big corp, some exec, board member, or any kind of higher up, just saw Oracle and Rocky ads, saw their own usage and wtv metric they had for freeloaders, and wanted to get money back, or not bleed to other vendors, specially something like Oracle.

Again, no matter how much statistics they have on Clone Adoption, the impact on ecosystem on a whole is unmeasurable. It's a big ecosystem system, and such big change has side effects. They most likelt won't matter in this decade, and because so much shit will change till the next one, we will never be able to tell for sure if this was well worth it.

What is undeniable truth is that customers are worth off. And I don't think Redhat was at an existential risk the way they were operating.

Capitalism works as long as company actually care about the customers. Limiting who can service a customer is not good for the customers. That's all.

House keys are a minimal inconvenience because the lock on your front door also affords minimal security. Just ask the Lock Picking Lawyer how long it would take a determined intruder to get into your home, whether by picking, force, or finding a weakness such as open window.

If your home had high security, I can guarantee that you'd feel the inconvenience.

And

To me those seem 100% equivalent in what they do, I’m asking you to explain the difference which is obvious to you, but not to me.

I never say already received binaries have their licence violated. I actually never ever said the licence is violated at all, that was in my premise before the IANAL part.

OT but this isn't the first time I've seen someone mistake the verb "delve" with "dwelve":

> ...we started dwelving into the code base...

The author may not be a native speaker, but this is far from a judgement on their English. I'm just curious about the provenance of this mistake, given the scarcity of words that begin with "dw". At first I thought it was a typo -- especially on a QWERTY keyboard -- but I've seen it often enough to question this.
This number is from a statistical study.
Where do you travel? Because I've gotten international text in dozens of countries in different continents with no problem. Delays I've seen (but also sometimes I also see them in my home country). Usually trying 1-2 times more it gets in time.
Energy flow wants to maximize entropy. Usually things flow from hot to cold because a cold thing will "make better use" of the energy to create entropy (i.e. permit microstates). Something with negative temperature will increase entropy by losing energy, and the positive temperature thing will increase entropy by gaining it, so it's (thermodynamically) a no-brainer.

>"Speaking of Carhart-Harris’ overenthusiasm for psychedelics running a little ahead of the evidence, the paper ends with a weird section comparing the hierarchial structure of the brain to the hierarchical structure of society, and speculating that just as psychedelics cause an “anarchic brain” where the highest-level brain structures fail to “govern” lower-level activity, so they may cause society to dissolve or something:

Two figureheads in psychedelic research and therapy, Stanislav Grof and Roland Griffiths, have highlighted how psychedelics have historically “loosed the Dionysian element” (Pollan, 2018) to the discomfort of the ruling elite, i.e., not just in 1960s America but also centuries earlier when conquistadors suppressed the use of psychedelic plants by indigenous people of the same continent. Former Harvard psychology professor, turned psychedelic evangelist, Timothy Leary, cajoled that LSD could stand for “Let the State Dissolve” (Pollan, 2018). Whatever the interaction between psychedelic use and political perspective, we hope that psychedelic science will be given the best possible opportunity to positively impact on psychology, psychiatry, and society in the coming decades—so that it may achieve its promise of significantly advancing self-understanding and health care."

I wonder how many people are aware that Timothy Leary was a fan of Socrates! He mentions him in an interview as being "his model" (idol?), and "the cause of all the trouble". There's another video made late in his life where he mentions providing material related to Socrates to a group of college students (with not-so-much emphasis on psychedelic drugs to the best of my memory, though Socrates wasn't the main subject matter either).

Socrates, as presented by Xenophon and Plato, considered the state, defined as a group of individuals that cooperate for their mutual benefit, to be a noble thing that he would have no interest in dissolving, merely improving. I think this is likely the intent of the authors as well (notice they say, "... the best possible opportunity to positivity impact..."), and I would wager the late Leary himself if pressed (note that despite everything, in the end American society tolerated him).
That's a tool for developer productivity and customer satisfaction.

Also, they are hiring.

Me: A designer has created two artpieces. The first one "The gattoya" is made of steel bars welded into a spiral shape. The second "Misiblur" is made of cloth and somewhat resembles a butterfly. Which is most comfortable to rest your head on and why?

Chatgpt: Based on the description provided, it is likely that "Misiblur," the art piece made of cloth resembling a butterfly, would be more comfortable to rest your head on compared to "The gattoya," which is made of steel bars welded into a spiral shape.

The reason for this is that cloth generally has a softer and more cushioned surface compared to steel bars. When resting your head on Misiblur, the fabric would provide a certain level of support and padding, which could make it more comfortable for resting your head.

On the other hand, resting your head on steel bars, as in the case of The gattoya, would likely be less comfortable due to the hardness and lack of cushioning provided by the material. Steel bars are not designed to be soft or ergonomic for resting purposes, so it may not provide the desired comfort.

It's important to note that the comfort level can vary depending on individual preferences and the specific design and construction of the art pieces. However, based on the given materials and descriptions, Misiblur made of cloth would generally be the more comfortable option for resting your head.
> 2. People don't have their phone on them all the time (and some don't even have a smartphone).

I live in rural Western Australia with almost zero phone coverage, and this is a huge problem. I'm terrified of all these services wanting my phone number, or bugging me to turn on phone 2FA, because the moment that happens, I lose access to that service.

ChatGPT that everyone is spamming on every discussion? I can't even sign up for it (I'm not really bothered about that; it seems like a dangerous crutch than a useful technology).

The problem is the developers have smartphones, their friends have smartphones, their bosses have smartphones and their clients have smartphones. Everyone they know have smartphones and live in places with reception. So they don't or can't imagine something different.
Any social media platform that stops operating in the EU is leaving a void for competitors to take over the EU market. Once said competitor takes over the EU market, they would be large enough to pose a serious threat to Facebook in other markets.

> the practice discriminates against students of color by giving an unfair boost to the mostly white children of alumni.

Im not sure this will ultimately be an effective argument. You cant favor people for being a certain race. But you can favor people for other reasons, which may result in more people of a certain race. That doesnt violate the Civil Rights Act. You dont have to meet racial quotas and in fact trying to do so will likely put you on the wrong side of the law (see the recent affirmative action case).

The argument seems to be that legacy admissions are wrong because they end up favoring white people which violates the Civil Rights Act. But it’s not actually discrimination by race. Any method of choosing will have imbalanced results, unless you do the one thing you CANT do and choose by race.

The article doesnt make any claims that legacy admissions are in and of itself illegal. Im just not sure what law legacy admissions break.

Also, a popular feeling that it’s unfair is irrelevant. Thats a job for congress.
If you need a powerhouse like Google Analytics and are not afraid of complex UI, go with Matomo. Even better if you self-host and have people to support it.

what even is an "AI generated game"?

AI/ChatGPT/Copilot are miles off from being able to produce an entire, runnable executable, with all assets and code required for a functional game. So what does it even mean for a game to be AI generated?

Are they talking specifically AI art assets? In which case, do procedurally generated assets count? Is No Man's Sky going to be dropped from the shop?

I’d push back on this by writing the Pandas and Polars etc of the world could be a lot better if they supported generic types. The fact the DataFrame is not connected to your struct / types is a big problem because everyone everywhere has to write at least two functions and probably more like 14 functions to enable basic CRUD operations on Struct of Arrays correctly given Structs.

For example, you need a StructOfArraysToArrayOfStructs function and ArrayOfStructsToStructOfArrays function and StructToRow and RowToStruct at least. Making sure those work for all the various types of thing in a programming language like python is no easy feat. Not having those functions built in, means everyone has to make sure those functions work on their own.
