I applied a while back. Made it through months of tests, interviews, all the way to an interview with Mark Shuttleworth. I respect what he has built, but the interview only really focused on what I had done in high school. I graduated 36 years ago - I just don't see the relevance. I am glad he passed on me given all the news coming out since.
In my experience the QA with documents pattern is fairly straightforward to implement. 90% of the effort to get to a preformant system hoever goes into massaging the documents into semantically meaningfull chuncks.
Most business documents, unlike blogposts and news articles, are not just running text. They have a lott of implicit structure that when lost as the typical naive chunckers do, lose much of the contextualized meaning as well.
Everyone I have seen with actual experience USING VR and AR say it is not even evolutionary, let alone revolutionary.
I wonder how long it will be before Google Workspace just has this feature for your Docs. It can't be long... Question-answering against external docs is something Google could easily add. I worry about the defensibility of startups working in this area as it's so fully in front of the steamroller.

Fascinating that this could start in the ostensible haven of libertarianism.

There's a massive push to improve UX but it'll take time for things to happen and it's only really just in the last few years that nix has gained the popularity in industry for there to be more than just a few groups spending engineering hours towards improving things.

Hmm. right you are it seems
This is correct ^.

Also, why should anyone want to use a crap license that restricts what you can do. As a software engineer those are crap licenses, same as a business owner, why do I want to support creation of some software that will never be a true native cloud service, I'd rather those companies and tech stacks die. The only people who care are startups who can't figure out a business model, and you should not sign up for that kind of craziness.
You should offer to take a Voight-Kampff test instead. Much more reliable at detecting replicants.
My first $100 is getting fed up with my existing feed reading and making https://feedmail.org/ available publicly.

First $1000 is still crickets, but I'll probably get there soon.

But I'm not really trying to profit, I just wanted a better reader for myself and figured I would make it available. Making it paid is mostly to greatly reduce the abuse opportunities.
I’ve been snagging the smaller/nicer CRT TVs from the dump here and there, there’s now a market for them… besides the problem you’ve highlighted, some old games with screen aiming devices only work on these older tech TVs, and Goodwill no longer accepts them!

It is super dangerous. The homeless and cracked up mentally ill patients who buy from the open air drug markets are highly aggressive and totally unpredictable.

Noisebridge was fun until it shut down. Half of the stores downtown are boarded up now. Walgreens left because of theft they couldn’t do anything about bc of liberal policies. The whole mall is boarded up. It’s a long long list of exited stores and companies. Much of the real estate both commercial and residential sits empty because the landlords refuse to reduce the rent since they won’t be able to raise it later bc of liberal policies.

The meetups were good before covid that was the one perk. But moving to SF was one of the worst mistakes of my life. Again, run away screaming

I'd like to see some empirical data for that. I don't see how that squares with the numbers of people working for FAANG money vs the numbers working in all of the rest of the tech jobs in the US and world. If I were to take your statement literally, then all the companies paying FAANG money would have tens of millions of employees, when in fact their total headcount is ~2 million out of the ~12 million working in tech in the US.

TySON (TypeScript Object Notation) is a subset of TypeScript, chosen to be useful as an embeddable configuration language that generates JSON. You can think of TySON as JSON + comments + types + basic logic using TypeScript syntax. TySON files use the .tson extension.
This sort of objection only arises because titles say baity things like "challenging orthodoxy". There's no information there—not in the bait and not in the objections the bait triggers.

The solution is to have a more substantive title. Fortunately the article supplies one of those in its HTML doc title, so we've switched to that (plus the s/the/a/ debaiting trick).

Let's focus on the article content now please.

This reminded me of how MA passed a right to repair law in 2020. It led me to google about it, and apparently the NHTSA has overruled it [1]. :/

It's good that states are pushing the envelope on digital rights – hopefully, this one has a brighter future. I can't think of any industry-captured federal agency that has the jurisdiction to overrule this one.

I'm aware - in context, however, it appears *dsr was defending the use of 'he' used as a default without reading the article where the subject is clearly a 'she.' Whether another professor at Duke mentioned in the article supervised the study doesn't really matter.
This idea presumes you're talking about copyrighted mass media which was distributed widely, which is only a small subset of copyrighted material. A very large amount of copyrighted material is never distributed, or is very limited in distribution to begin with.
I almost addressed this point in my original post... you need a diffusion system that runs the brine out into the ocean and mixes it with seawater to a certain concentration... as long as it isn't super concentrated or at a very different temperature it won't create a brine pool and the salt will diffuse harmlessly.
There's arguments in both directions for something like kvm. Wiki states it pretty well:

> The distinction between these two types is not always clear. For instance, KVM and bhyve are kernel modules[6] that effectively convert the host operating system to a type-1 hypervisor.[7] At the same time, since Linux distributions and FreeBSD are still general-purpose operating systems, with applications competing with each other for VM resources, KVM and bhyve can also be categorized as type-2 hypervisors.[8]

I sometimes wonder if this environment were easier if the emulators involved were very easy to legally integrate onto modern game consoles. For example, Sony's PlayStation Classic used a GPL-licensed emulator [1] to get something out the door. It'd be more challenging to rerelease a GameCube game on PlayStation 5 though, as you'd either need to do a bunch of expensive work either porting or developing your own emulator. Dolphin's GPL license isn't set to work with a proprietary SDK.

It'd be an incredible challenge, but I wonder if the community behind emulators like Dolphin could provide a paid version of the codebase that can be licensed under the MPL. This might help keep older games legally in circulation.

I don't understand what you're talking about. GameCube emulation is excellent. You can use the same emulator responsible for Wii, Dolphin, and it has great compatibility.
One thing to try is disagree, put down "I told you so" collateral, and commit. If the party you disagreed with doesn't produce the expected result then they should lose something. Cost is a forcing function; without it there are no consequences.
Colima is great, compared to Podman it's a lot more of a drop-in replacement for my use case. I've always had issues with Podman volumes but with Colima it was as simple as uninstalling Docker Desktop and running "colima start".

There's one issue I'm running into where it becomes unresponsive after a while and "docker ps" hangs forever though.
Bishop is going to be more theoretical than ISL. It is true that Bishop is taught as an introduction to ML in many universities, but if you want more hands on to start with, ISL is an excellent option. There is another text called "Elements of Statistical Learning" that pairs well with ISL for a more theoretical treatment. I haven't looked at ESL in a long time, the only concern I'd have is if they aren't covering some introductory deep learning topics. Most of ISL, ESL, and Bishop are more traditional machine learning, covering a wide variety of algorithms, so bear that in mind.

A childhood bounded by Purell hand sanitizer, the abandonment of religion and traditional values, zero tolerance fighting/bullying/wrestling in school, dead beat father figures, and helicopter parents along with the availability of easy entertainment and air conditioning everywhere leads to weak boys who turn into weak men. Boys must be given the room to find out their strengths and weaknesses and (most importantly) learn how to tame and control them. This is accomplished by hard work, sports, and letting boys be boys - fighting, playing outside, etc.

Yeah, I know "abandonware" sounds like a euphemism (and maybe it is), but I really don't have a problem with people keeping these older things available.

(And I have written a few games in the past that are now on abandonware sites, ha ha.)
Windows was already on low-margin consumer x86 boxes so there wasn't the same opportunity.

Linux enabled commodity hardware to eat Big Iron's lunch using that same x86. Dell and IBM certainly made a good business filling datacenter racks with their x86 offerings for quite some time.
Just because terrorism and drugs make you uncomfortable to think about, doesn't mean that those are fake problems. If you prefer to live your life in a bubble, go ahead that you do that while you can. But good luck trying to convince other people that the real world doesn't exist.

I think your reasoning is an example of modern Stockholm syndrome, where people get absolutely furious at anybody shining a light on a problem, instead of getting furious at the actual problem.
My opinion doesn't matter; it's what the facts say.
I am not sure it's that much different. Back then - when vastly fewer people went to college - the degree itself was the credential for a professional job, but it didn't much matter what you'd studied. That may still apply for the "top-tier", most-prestigious institutions: I know a Harvard literature grad who walked straight into an executive-track role at a company you've heard of, because Harvard. That probably has more to do with networking effects than anything else, which arguably was true then, as well.

The current situation - colleges as trade schools, as you aptly put it - suits educational institutions quite well. Businesses like it, as well, because they can outsource early-career job training. It's only for, you know, actual people that the system doesn't work anymore.
One reason why I prefer to use firefox at work. I can type some part of the title and it finds the Jira tickets/ confluence link easily from my history. Chrome would take me to search page and the search returns nothing since it cannot find anything from the locally hosted jira/confluence.
Couldn't one equally see that as a footgun, given the lack of great solutions for something like this example?
NixOS is awful except for everything else out there. The learning curve is... steep. The documentation sucks. You have to learn a new OS because a lot of your prior Linux knowledge no longer applies.

But, man, it's so slick when you get it working. It's so easy to understand your system and how it's set up. There's no weird stuff changing between updates that you don't know about. You don't have to merge new configurations. It's so easy to try something new without changing your system. Rollbacks are awesome. It's easy to move your config to a new machine or keep multiple machines in sync. My machines were constantly getting out of sync as far as packages, versions, config, etc. and it was a headache to maintain them all the way I like. Not anymore. It's so easy to maintain working NixOS systems. I have the same packages, users, and config on my machines without having to think about it. I have automatic updates going where I get a new system when I reboot. It basically works like an appliance I don't have to think about except it's set up the way I want it instead of how someone else decided it should work.

There are so many nice things about NixOS, but it sucks. It's the worst thing out there except for everything else. I hate it and I feel like I can't go back either. I would love a NixOS-like system with a better language, documentation on par with Arch, and the reliability of Debian.
Main cause: Government-backed student loans.

While it is technically the student paying, in reality the money is going (indirectly) from the federal reserve to the universities.

Everyone loves free government money...

The fact the student may never pay off those loans (and hence the government foots the bill) is the cherry on top.
"Ajar source" is definitely the funniest take I've seen on this. Kudos, Bryan.

> In other news, Richard Stallman's head has exploded.

I'm honestly not sure about this one. If I'm recalling Stallman's takes correctly, I think he's fine with "Ajar source" as long as the source is open to Red Hat's customers. I remember him saying something along those lines when explaining how he expects developers to make a living-- something along the lines of it being okay to charge money for your product, but then your customer should have [some list of freedoms].

Maybe the telemetry does it though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Note that while it's officially banned, there are ways to access it and people are doing that.

Correction: WordStar, a DOS word processor that used control sequences and was text mode.
Operating at a loss drives out anyone who doesn't have the money to burn forever to compete with you, and when the market is yours you can re-align prices to allow profit. This seems clear to me and the 'net negative' is that you don't actually have a free market anymore. Inserting yourself between product and fulfillment and taking the surplus value that would have gone to either customer or producer is not a gain for anyone but the people who invested in the rent-seeker.
The original term on copyright was 28 years maximum; under that rule, most copyrighted works would already be in the public domain. I think 28 years is probably closer to the "right value" than 95 years, but I'd be okay with a bit longer.
Oracle has got the history and continues the same history, including the lawyers.
You know why? The entire business is a cult structured around their majority owner, Larry who has never stepped away from the business.
I feel this whole Agile industry is to distribute tech riches to wider group of people who otherwise have no interest or skill to work in IT industry. A nice benefit to companies are improved diversity numbers.
Have you thought about having one machine plus a hot spare, and swapping out hard drives? If it gets subpoenaed for job X, put the job X drive in and give it to the lawyers, then put the drive for the current job in the spare, order a new spare, and carry on.

Of course, if you can bill the machines through to the clients, why bother!
Firefox does have a setting to add the search bar back if that’s your jam, you can turn off address bar search suggestions in the settings too.

If you turn off address bar search suggestions then the address bar will still search anything you enter that’s not a url on your chosen default search engine though. You might be able to turn off that behaviour in about:config
> So if gravity is quantized, that means space-time is also quantized. But that doesn’t work,

But... How could space-time not be quantized? That would imply the existence of infinities in the structure of the universe. It is like the ultraviolet catastrophe but in space-time.
And interestingly both have predominantly grown in "administrative" costs
> I wanted to play them back then; now I have no interest.

IIUC, you're saying that a commercial effort couldn't/didn't offer the vintage games at the time that you wanted to play them, and now you no longer want to play them?

You're also saying that, although you played the games then (with abandonware), the reason you no longer want to play the games now isn't because the abandonware satisfied the desire?

(You think the nostalgia was time-limited, or something else changed for you? Is this generalizable to the rest of the market for vintage games?)

Short-term, students need recourse. Defaulting on loans creates a cascade of consequences that necessarily harm borrowers earning potential for years (e.g. colleges can withholding proof of attendance, decline in credit score, wage garnishments, etc.) There are loans that are highly likely to default regardless after the COVID moratorium on payments ends .

no they don't, as mean as this may sound. The data shows that college grads earn way ore than non-grads, even after accounting for inflation and loans. people who fial to finish or fail to attend college do way worse. Thanks to an abundance of aid, scholarships, and other discounts, hardly anyone is paying these inflated tuition prices in full.
You might need to go to DVD for something that old.

There are advantages to getting owned DVDs, like the fact that they can't mess with the content later. Music licensing problems are fairly common. For Scrubs Season 1 in particular, they had to change all the music around for Netflix's streamed version. The DVD version, as far as I know, has the original music.
My Coldfusion code often makes me ask the same thing.
"hi-tech investigation" - or maybe just listen to the survivors who were actually there who said that the Greek coast guard connected to, and capsized, their boat?

But I also want to understand why OOP instead of conventional programming; I'm still waiting for that part to click. Until that question is answered it won't be capturing my full attention.

This is not true for abandoned works, or works for which one cannot locate the copyright owner. The tiniest of hurdles to maintaining copyright could make a large amount of works available.
Won't it go up more if colleges can be assured that students will be bailed out?
