Yes, the competitive advantage when compared to non-open source operating systems.

If they stop publishing non-GPL source code, they have a distinct disadvantage when compared to open source alternatives.
36 mil was worth a lot more in 1999 than it is now, and even more than it will be in 2035.

Time value of money ... and basic math.

Bonilla only had $6 mil left on his contract in 1999. He will receive $30 mil by 2035 thanks to the 8% annual rate. That's a pretty exorbitant rate over the past 24 years when inflation only averaged 2-3% a year.

The $6 mil Bonilla was owed back in 1999 is only worth about $12 mil in today's dollars. Fred Flintsone and the Mets lost their asses to Madoff and Bonilla.

It's definitely not a data scraping decision because there are more effective ways to do this. It's something to do with the actual system itself and he wants to delay the truth.

Hmm.

Take this kindly - you're doing it wrong. Which is fine; not everyone is a wordy thinker. That doesn't mean it's overrated.
I wonder how you got this idea. If you want to increase your output nothing works better than starting the day with a 30 minute walk. Every 2 hours do some exercise for 5 to 7 minutes. This is also cheaper. I recommend doing a few squads as it is the best exercise.
You realize _thats the business model_.

Why would their switch to AI change the business model?
Boost is still working for me somehow. I think there has been a miscommunication about the date somewhere.
Wow, that's terrible, for reasons already explained to you below. Please reconsider.
I guess you can try to develop two very distinct writing styles.

>> GPT-Migrate is currently in development alpha and is not yet ready for production use. For instance, on the relatively simple benchmarks, it gets through "easy" languages like python or javascript without a hitch ~50% of the time, and cannot get through more complex languages like C++ or Rust without some human assistance.

In other words, it doesn't really work.

The current wave of LLM applications still seems to me like someone just invented homeopathy and a whole bunch of people are convinced it's real and are trying to use it to create a cure for cancer. It's just people waving their hands about and intoning magick formulae, that don't work and don't produce anything useful at all.

I am curious to see where all this is going to end up. Is someone going figure out a way to make LLMs work for real-world er work? Are we all waiting patiently the next big LLM version to see if it can do the things that the current best-of-the-best can't?
In my experience there are edge cases every now and then where a company needs a custom solution and achieves it by patching open source software.

The RedHat support will fix issues, they will not add new features only you need.
While I agree it should be only used where absolutely necessary, another not insignificant benefit to 'inlining' svgs in jsx is that they're then visible immediately on first render, there's no loading time.

This is particularly relevant for icons and buttons in key places in the UI, where it's janky to have them appear even a split second after the rest of the UI.

How can you acheive that using other approaches?
In 1999, the buyout on his contract was only $6 mil according to the article.
You need a lawyer.
I once worked on a very large commercial application that was based on a home-grown I/O framework which operated on similar principles.

It was a complete pain in the ass. You were constantly future-proofing your data structures because you knew you were going to be stuck with them for all eternity because the I/O framework was going to serialize them verbatim whether you liked it or not. Those were dark days...
He seems to exaggerate the importance of things when they make for a good story and sound interesting. This is a classic flaw in popular science but I think he's got a lot more egregious with it over the years.

The worst example I remember, which is actually what drove me to unsubscribe, was when he said that the golden ratio was "a pretty five-y number" because it can be written as 0.5 + 0.5 * (5^0.5). Anyone with a good mathematical background could tell you there's nothing five-y about 0.5 at all. I'll grant him, the golden ratio is still a little bit five-y because of the sqrt(5).

The whole context and presentation seemed like it was designed to make the viewer feel like they'd learnt something even though nothing of substance was really delivered in those 20 seconds. He does that a lot.
Start with the fact that he didn't want to buy it. He probably thought he could acquire it, make some changes, and flip it for less than a settlement would have cost. That didn't work out. If you're wondering if there's a plan, the plan didn't work, and now there is no plan. It's the special military operation of LBOs.
And yet overall its still very safe to go into a modern airplane.
The key point is that Bonilla wasn’t. If I lost money with Madoff, I couldn’t tell my mortgage company that it was too bad for them that I was going to pay my mortgage with the money that was lost.
This was my thought exactly. Author talks about Goodheart’s law and how it is bad for the team, but then somehow their concept of “velocity” is not an example of the said flawed logic?

Flattened memory seems rather like normal memory. ie. it's linear and addressed by an offset. So you could "just" use a custom memory allocator that didn't bother with all the design considerations that are needed to be able to free memory and prevent fragmentation.

It wouldn't get you the benefit of using 16-bit indices or whatever but it should still be helpful and might let you write your program very "normally".
It is yet another regulation which is sounds useful, but very hard to enforce.

What happens if the company makes more money than it pays salaries for some reason? I assume in this case and your description, the salaries are adjusted accordingly.

If so, then the word salary here is just another word for owner dividends, at least to some extent.

I don't smoke, but every shop I've walked past that was targeted at vapers looked like the shadiest place imaginable. They have the same feel as those cash-only nail bars or phone repair shops. All the furniture and branding looks as temporary as possible, like they know they're probably going to get shut down in a few months so they want to be able to close up shop and ship their assets out on short notice. And they always end up in those cursed retail units which rarely manage to keep a single identity for a full year.
Do you have something in mind? Both of your examples are referring to spontaneous results out of a random system, and that’s not what any engineering is. If it were, we would have ~0 modern technology at all.

Sure it’s possible that there’s some barrier, but no one can point to what it is or even what it hypothetically could be, so why assume it’s there? Especially given, again, we know for a fact that a random process already achieved it.
> Suppose ... you learn to triple the estimates given to you by engineers. However, ... he decides to triple all his time estimates as well. Now all of a sudden, you have inadvertently overestimated by a whopping 300%.

Is talking to the engineers an option here? This scenario sounds like a symptom of dysfunction. How would this happen with neither party talking about it with the other? What 'management' is being applied here if this can happen without being detected immediately?

This whole article seems to give a lot of credence to story points. And story points are a good idea. But they aren't a silver bullet for managing a software team. In fact, they aren't even a bullet. Talk to the engineer, ask what they are going to do. Maybe ask some questions about the bits that they don't seem to have thought about too hard.

Since there is nothing else that can be done, doing that must be enough. The story points will keep that process organised.
Not really - look up “heat death” of the universe.

I like to read insight into people's thinking who normally are not writers, they provide interesting meta insight, democratize in a easy way to publish.

I recently learned writing is two things, what you know and how to market yourself. While I'd say a good amount is more of the former, HN highlights some of the absolute best pieces of the prior.

People should write. And those that touch a nerve probably did it well enough do receive critical feedback.

Madoff and his scheme is far more notorious, IMO.

Ask a random person who Bernie Madoff is and who Sam Bankman Fried is and count the correct responses. I bet Madoff wins by more than a factor of 4.
"eastern germany had a very different take on denazificaiton."

As opposed to the BRD, where for example the "Auswärtiges Amt" had more ex NSDAP party members after 1945 than before?

There definitely was denazification in the east, but the totalitarian enclosed and literally walled of mindset did not help with creating an open mind towards the world. Add to that high unemployment and poverty after 1990 and you get the usual extremists on both sides of the spectrum.

Invading Ukraine isn't everything Russia does. It is full of productive citizens, amazing nature and diversity. It's probably time the West looks beyond just the war which is very temporary and proactively try to bring Russia back into the warmth of Europe.
The "disappearing reviews" issue might be mitigated by versioning the product entry, and preserving the old reviews for the old version of the listing.
> It's very difficult for new treatments to spread in this kind of environment.

No amount of drug advertisements will change that. Solve the root cause and the problem generally goes away, but keep putting lipstick on a pig and you just get more problems.
I find it curious how Western left (which I generally sympathize with) defends women's rights but draws the line if they are Muslim. Then you're on your own, it's totally OK for your husband or 'male guardian' (and I kid you not it's a thing, that guy also must authorize a woman to get a job for example) to make you hide your face in public and look at all the world outside your apartment through a rag, and any government that tries to combat that is 'intolerant'.
CRT would be the most common choice, yeah. These EDTV LCD were prohibitively expensive, at least for me at the time (~2004). Maybe it was between eras, it's a good point. We can consider Dreamcast (1999), PS2 (2000), Xbox (2001), my EDTV (2004), Xbox 360 (2005), PS3 (2006), Wii (2007)...though with later PS3 and Xbox 360 releases 4:3 support started to dry up, which was a broader problem.

Yup, some people just seem to have a hard time with evaluating candidates fairly rather than by some arbitrary guidelines inside their head.

Of course if you're looking for a software jeopardy contestant maybe memory recall is important, but for the rest of us it is much better to have a good understanding of fundamentals and know where to look when it comes to specifics!
They absolutely do. I’m not sure why you’re posting this; it’s just demonstrably wrong.

By not using jsx? It would be an order of magnitude less waste to just set innerhtml in such a case, than to waste your users' cpu cycles diffing and reconstituting a giant tree of vdom.
Honestly, we need a physical product that's like 30 bucks and the size of a USB stick (or Ras Pi for the MVP).

It includes 3 years of free hosting for your domain name, a small web server, and a sync service that copies your files to a central server so they can be made available at that domain name. The default server would be the company that made the product, but you would own the domain, and you'd be able to change where you're syncing to with two clicks. And the canonical version of your files would always live locally (one-way sync).

Could be used for email, website hosting, and local media server capabilities. Throw some solar panels on it, and boom, you have my dream device.
That would apply for gross substitutions, but not for subtle product enshittification.

Say, Pyrex's gradual substitution of less-durable materials in its baking and cooking glassware. That won't appear in a simple photo.

To me it reads like an emotional rambling making assumptions about what I think ("I bet when you see [X] you hold [Y] accountable"), assumptions about people ("most people are too weak to resist the call to dehumanize others"), and invoking Hollywood movies of all things ("The Purge").
Likely because everyone already knew deep down that crypto was(is) a scam. Even in crypto, SBF is mostly forgotten. Small scale crypto scams keep happening and everyone just moves on within days.

git does not clone hooks, but if a subdirectory of a repo has the structure of a bare repo it can hijack git subcommands for code execution. try:

It's hard to take this generously. What do you mean by this, specifically? Are you saying "I didn't take out a pen and sign a physical piece of paper"? Or are you saying "I didn't click anything that says "I agree to the ToS"?

What actions are you intending which you feel are enabled by not signing anything?

Yeah, but few VPNs are free, and the ones that are tend to be slow and unreliable due to overloading.

It can happen with the same product too. Just lower the quality and specs, but keep the name and outside appereance.
H-1B approval has two stages, the registration period (March/April) and the petition period (ends 90 days after post-registration selection). AIUI this is counting petitions (i.e. I-129s), so won't be accurate until at least 90 days after selection notices - which would be around now - but then the site itself says it can further trail by a quarter.

I think it's important to draw distinctions as to the entity with authority to make a change.

In the Chinese system, that's the market but always capped by political and CCP decisions, if they deign to care.

In the American system, that's resolutely only the market. The government has some limited second order control (tariffs, industrial policy, national security exclusions), but generally didn't use them against China 1990-2018.

Ergo, the deciders moving manufacturing to China were the CEOs of American companies, optimizing their own production costs.

I'd be curious to see an analysis of the rise of Walmart (and immolation of Sears) and later Target vis-a-vis Chinese manufacturing of consumer goods sold in America. I'd be surprised if the centralization of point-of-sale (vs previous more diverse and independent stores) didn't incentivize bulk, low-cost offshore manufacturing via volume.
There are, once I tried a trusted shop I've used a couple of years ago.

Excellent write up! Thank you for sharing. From myself I may add that a lot of information out there on the internet will get you into trouble and is purely wrong. NomadList is good.
This period if legal ambiguity is the period when gold (meaning significant wealth) is spun from pressing the legal margins. Remember Napster, an illegal from the get-go startup? Yet one of it's founder, Sean Parker, is one of the Internet Goldenboys with the c-suites, legal, drug and celebrity problems only crazy wealth can afford. It's not an easy path, but right now is when the first movers are starting to sprint...

The traffic my servers receive from China, India, South America, Africa, and Eastern Europe, and the UK is also almost exclusively boys and exploit scanners.

You can block whatever IP addresses you like but the bot to user ratio of any given IP address is absolutely terrible. Tor concentrates a lot of traffic into a few exit nodes but by this logic most small countries should be blocked from most websites.
Thank you for the warning. What do you think about CO2 scrubbers?
They told me my review of a fake SD card was against the community rules, though they didn't say which rule. If only they spent a little of that effort blocking fakes.
Clicking around and looking at the chart for random other countries shows a spike for Sweden too, whereas Finland has a different but interesting pattern all of its own.
I'd also generalise the question beyond jsx to just 'inline with javascript' - ie just as you say, inject the svg markup into the DOM synchronously using the same javascript that renders the DOM (rather than some deferred source) - it's just most of the time for me that means jsx.
And Sealioning is in action, and thus so is Poe's law.

I was responding to the quoted part ;)
>> This would really useful if it worked with legacy code. For example, you could migrate all that COBOL code into Java or Python, or all the Fortran scientific code into C++ or Python.

Having done a year-long stint at a mainframe team in one of the large financial corps (no, bigger than that) I can assure you that this is never going to happen for COBOL-to-java (or to-anything) unless there are strong guarantees of 100% correctness. See, one of the first things they tell you when you join a COBOL team is that you don't touch the code, unless you've filed a form that explains every detail of the change you want to make and why. In the team I worked for, that was a 10+ page Word form that would put a herd of elephants to sleep with its obstinacy and recalcitrance.

And that was only to change some JCL scripts- the scripts that run the COBOL jobs. Nobody dares to change now 50-years old COBOL code. Because every time they do, the corp loses millions. So I was told by those who knew better than me, and had been doing that job all their lives.

Bottom line, until someone figures out how to transform a gigantic, half a century-old COBOL codebase into java without breaking nothing at all, there's not gon' be any migrations.

I get a feeling that the requirements for scientific code are going to be much looser, and that this is going to cause a whole lot of mayhem, on the other hand.
These are real events that happened to me.
A back light is impossible on this type of opaque display (most LCDs are not opaque). So it would ned to be a front light. But, really, it needs to be seen to be believed — I really never think it should have a lit screen. Compared to devices that really did need screen illumination — such as the 1st gen Game Boy Advance, WonderSwan or Neo Geo Pocket — the Playdate is using screen technology that is decades newer and far, far better.

And the 1-bit is a real vibe, personally it takes me back to classic Macintosh. I find it quite liberating to not have to think of colour, at least at this point a few years into Playdate development.
