> Finally, to IBM, here’s a big idea for you. You say that you don’t want to pay all those RHEL developers? Here’s how you can save money: just pull from us. Become a downstream distributor of Oracle Linux. We will happily take on the burden.

Not only is this a brilliant troll, it's also true. Oracle could easily take this on if it's such a burden for IBM.
Just playing the devil's advocate here but what if the copyright owner does not want the content distributed anymore? Maybe now they find the content distasteful or embarrassing.
yes! Sometimes I cry "technology just get out my way already", if it isn't going to enable what I want to do, I don't care what other stuff it has to offer. I'm on a specific endeavor and must build the thing if it doesn't already exist. To quote this Microsoft engineer whose name escapes me at the moment, nothing is implemented by default.
As a side note, rust does not have inheritance, at not point did `AsciiString` inherited the `Index` implementation through `Deref`.

What happened is that in many usages the compiler would insert an implicit deref which would lead to an `Index` implementation being available.

But this does not work in all cases. Not just the case mentioned in the article but many others. The simplest is that it doesn't implement the `Index` trait and hence any generic bound requiring `Index` will fail if you try to use it with a `AsciiString`.

So it important to _not think of `Deref` as a form of inheritance ever_ nor use this as a oversimplifications when teaching rust or similar, it will only lead to a lot of confusion.

Additionally smart pointer in rust are "pointer like" which means you don't expect them to have methods by themself or anything like that. Hence why special methods on smart pointers are implemented as static function on the type, instead of methods.

Through `Deref` can also idiomatically be implemented for types with a owned/borrowed duality (e.g. `String`/`&str`) so `AsciiString/AsciiStr` would work but `AsciiString/str` won't be ideomatic.

Then if you idiomatically implement traits on this types you won't run into the issue described in the post, as you implement all you `Index` types and similar on the `&AsciiStr`/`&mut AsciiStr` etc.

Anyway there is a way to get a reference to a different kind of type, e.g. getting a `&str` from a `AsciiString`. It's `AsRef`. But that is not automatically applied like `Deref` for the reasons many reasons including stuff like mentioned in the Article.

Lastly a better way to think about why it doesn't work is that the type resolver looks if the type is implemented on your concrete type in some form and only if it isn't it will potentially dereference. And due to technical details of how type resolving reliable in multiple direction can be tricky `Index<T>` does count here as "the type is implemented" even if the `T` doesn't match.

The articles conclusion of not implementing `Deref` (in most cases) is something I can fully agree with.
I don't want to like Oracle, so I won't. However, what they said minus the business/political propaganda is spot on.
> there's huge pressure to report positive results.

This is basically just noting Goodhart's Law, or as I like to say "Warning." Evaluation is incredibly difficult and every metric can be hacked. Making "meritocracy" a fool's errand since a metric alone is not enough (it needs the associated uncertainty value, which is non-zero).

The problem here is that we're searching through an incredibly high dimensional non-convex solution space and assuming that a simple optimization function is a global optimizer.

Instead I'd just love to see academics pursuing their ideas and discussing them in the open. I don't think you'd have a significant problem getting people to generally align in a single direction, as currently happens, but I think it also allows for others to challenge those directions as well. Essentially research is performing some sampling in that search space but we're turning the learning rate way down. So we get plenty of works where novelty and incrementalism is indeterminable, due to the speed in which we must produce. Instead let the academics determine their own parameters and let time sort it out. Ensembling is a very useful technique, especially when uncertainty is high.
I found out the hard way that as soon as your luck is down everyone abandons you. It is human nature to avoid those who are on a losing streak.

Speak to anyone in jail, they will tell you that almost all of their friends, all of their family will have abandoned them, regardless of their guilt or innocence. It's tragic.
True, but doing the right thing for the wrong reasons doesn't mean that the company should be praised for it.
I would agree except for a few things.

Like, if someone distributes pornography of themselves, and they are now a nurse or something and are out of the industry + don't want their images distributed anymore, I think distributing pornography of them against their permission just because they aren't distributing it themselves sounds extremely heinous.
San Francisco has better placement than 99,9% of Earth.

Most of places on Earth has snow, heat waves, no coasts, biting insects, or a combination of that. They are also not located in the richest country, in a place which historically produces jobs.

So, under this regime specifically San Francisco will get population influx until it is not usable for absolute majority of people (think a bro dormitory the size of SF), and that process will be repeated for many other lucrative locations on Earth (heck, many cities are arguably already going that route).

I don't see how free housing differs from sacrificing every place you like to tragedy of the commons on grand scale, until there is nothing for you to like there anymore and you move on yourself.

Other than that, there are places on Earth with basically free housing. Check out Vorkuta.
but I've frankly just accepted that emulation will be the best and perhaps only way to play a majority of these titles

The problem is the roms can't be 'legally' redistributed and there's no viable way to even legally purchase a significant portion of them anymore.
> Oracle does care about open source, to the extent that they have been the top Linux kernel contributor several times.

Linux kernel is not entirety of Linux. Given that there is Oracle cloud and various hardware Oracle has to support, it will be almost unthinkable if Oracle did not contribute to Linux kernel.

But - I will be interested in Oracle's support for broader Linux ecosystem. How about contributions to GCC, Gnome (or any other DE as a matter of fact), Wayland/xorg etc? Oracle strictly contributes to projects from which it can benefit immediately.

Sure, but then it may be less likely for those who do to "prefer to remain a bachelor." Heck, it was not uncommon even for gay men to get married back then.

My point is: we shouldn't assume that the only reason for men to "prefer to remain a bachelor" is their sexuality and in so doing assume all of those 10% of men are LGBTQ+.
Couldn’t agree with this more—though I wasn’t a fan of their lawsuit against Google for how Java was used in Android.
But this is clearly not "everyone". This is just one/two readers. Not even copiers, as the network does not "remember" the content of the book, at least not better than a casual reader. Infringement in this case is more like standing in a book shop reading the book for free, or loaning one in a library for a day, not actually copying for keeps.
The title on YT it autotranslated by YT. If you change UI language in your account settings on Google/YT, the title of the video will change as well. Truly horrible, but in-character for Google when it comes to localisation.

The purpose of copyright and patent law is to promote innovation.

If your new IP is so similar that it’s threatened by the mere existence of an older IP then it’s probably not innovative enough to deserve protection anyway.

Nowadays, such a dev-focused box (instead of a mini do-it-all server) might be structured like the Mac Mini.

Ironically, the Nix team is the one providing the best UX to me. It's more that many community solutions are stale and broken, despite being well-made and thoughtfully designed. I'd like to make home-manager work for me, but I struggle to in practice.
I agree with your blind hatred of Oracle. But you have to admit, this is pretty epic inter-company trolling, and what Oracle says in its post is basically right.
I would be careful with that. Maybe they did scream, but you haven't heard it, and they worked around the issue. Or maybe they did their workaround without saying anything. Or maybe you're wrong about your code not working. It actually may be working in some way that you don't know of, but is useful to someone.

To use an ecosystem analogy, once you expose your software to the world beyond your own dev environment, even internally, you'll eventually find that something colonized it - much like everything on this planet that isn't being actively and regularly scrubbed.

In my own career, I've seen cases of this. For example, once we were tweaking a little embedded database that supported a half-finished feature meant for internal use, and only then we (as in everyone in the dev team) learned that somehow, the QA & deployment support people got wind of it, and were scripting against exposed parts of that DB for a good year. And, it turns out, it wasn't the only part of the software that we thought of as incidental phenotype (or didn't think of at all), and the other team considered stable behavior.

See also the so-called Hyrum's Law: "With a sufficient number of users of an API, it does not matter what you promise in the contract: all observable behaviours of your system will be depended on by somebody."
> Wouldn’t it be nice if Oracle brought that back and made the ultimate open source dev box?

That would be irrelevant to me. If Oracle is involved, I don't want to touch it with a 10-foot pole.
> that provide no actual insight into the question

Mind elaborating on that?

Because there is no biochemical reason why DNA could not have incorporated, say, a third pairing pair, so while base-3 (which I don't specifically mention in my post btw.) wouldn't work, base 6 or 8 would have been possible. "Unnatural Base Pairs" are even known to work in laboratory settings.

There is also no biochemical reason why base2 life wouldn't work. Expand the reading frame of the translation machinery to 5 instead of three, and you have enough coding space for polypeptides.

My answer adresses the question completely, because the only reason behind these "decisions" is an ancient system that simply got "frozen", and now cannot change any more.
To be fair though its an Open secret they trained it on Common crawl G4 and Pile databases. But proving it is another thing. By the time someone develops tooling to prove such things we will have an explainable AI.

Blue Sky's invitation scheme overdid exclusivity, and now Threads is two orders of magnitude ahead.

Scaling to 100M+ users, probably more than 10X the stretch goal, smoothly is a spectacularly good launch.

It does the thing Twitter did, without the paid blue check idiocy.

> Before anyone dismisses the Japanese for using old tech - whether it’s fax machines or funny looking flip phones, I’ll say that it’s truly admirable of them to always focus on the problem than getting excited over new tech.

Excluding totalitarian communist monarchies, the Japanese are, human-capital adjusted, about the least productive people on earth. So they are not actually "focusing on the problem".

> Has that prevented them from advancing as a society? No.

The US pumped out a number of popular and populist movies and books in the 80ies and 90ies that betray a real fear of being overtaken by Japan. The notion seems completely ridiculous nowadays, and a glance of the GDP development of both countries over the last four decades will immediately make clear why.

> Has that prevented new innovations? Certainly not.

So what important innovations have come out of Japan in the last 40 years?

Japan has a lot of admirable qualities, but a pragmatic focus on productivity and innovation is not one of them.
Your approach sounds a lot like systemd's, with explicit dependencies in units coupling them to each other.

It's pretty cool how one can have a .device or what not that then wants a service- plug in a device & it's service starts. The arbitrary composability enables lots of neat system behaviors.
> General relativity says that you can't tell the difference between being unaccelerated, and being in free fall.

Just to be clear, GR only says this for a very specific case, and a very specific observer. In fact, one of the easier exercises when first learning how to work with metrics is to show how to measure the difference.
I'm pretty sure if a copyright owner dies without heirs the copyright is orphaned, it doesn't become state property in the US. That's the problem. If the work became public domain it would make more sense.

>> If something is not legally available then copyright law ought to make it eligible for free distribution.

Ok. Past Futurama episodes are now $10,000 per view. That is still available and not an absurd cost (just ask anyone dealing with with patented technology). So we would need some sort of commission to decide what a reasonable cost should be, which would be a quantum leap away from free market principals.
What "good looking" means might vary somewhat from person to person, but it's not completely subjective. Some people look better than others, which makes them more desirable partners in general.

People wrote great works before copywrite.

People write for reasons other than money from the sales of the book. This accounts for most authors, who aren't famous enough to negotiate a great deal with a publisher.

And we don't need to abolish copyright outright. Just require that it is continually published at a steady or decreasing price, or it becomes public domain. And put works in the public domain a little sooner.

My understanding is that Penrose does believe that gravity is fundamentally quantum in nature. But his proposal is that gravity is connected to the collapse of the wavefunction. In his view, it is the exchange of a graviton that precipitates the wavefunction collapse. But this is still a fundamentally quantum theory because it posits that the gravitational field is quantized (and hence gravitons exist).
> I can understand you may not like the 'troll' / provocative way of writing tho, it's not for everybody

Not the other commenter, but some feedback: while I’m not a fan of the writing style, and I’m ok with that, my issue is really presentation and information density.

It takes a rather dedicated reader to find useful information in between paragraph after paragraph of ranting. And since I’m not skilled at lifting, I’m more interested in hearing what you think is useful than wading through a dozen ways to belittle what people are already doing.

I think you could increase your reach by making the problem/solution clearer. I’m just starting to dabble with weights, and I’m actively seeking good resources. I’m not inclined to add your blog to my research plan based on this.

It's the physicality of the medium. It's the rattle of the cassette in the case, the sound of putting it in the player, the feel of pushing the play button. Some people really enjoy the lowfi-ness of it all, the hiss of the tape, the limited number of songs, the fact you can hand it or trade it to someone else.

While I don't miss cassettes I do miss the rituals surrounding physical media. Being able to pick a thing, listen to it, and not being sold on other items.
What do you mean even Red Hat? Why would they be more likely to worry about this terminology?

Good job on building something cool and putting it in front of people.

That's exactly what they expect.

Anecdote: MS was part of the tail-end of my interview process and after I brought up that it was a bit much asking me for justification of decisions I made decades ago, he stated - I'm paraphrasing here - that he believes that someone's decisions at that stage of their life are consistent with how they will react and respond later on, which is why they ask the questions to begin with. I nope'd on out afterward.

Only advice I can give is beware companies that cultivate a cult-of-personality around one or multiple execs. You will be required to drink the Kool-Aid and - when you invariably don't - that's that.
Having worked under a Google-bred product leader in the past... this explains a lot about the way they ran things.
