GitHub: They keep 6%. With 3% for CC fees and 3% for GitHub. [1]

Patreon: Varies a bit more. Patreon takes 8%, unless they have been on the platform since before the 2019 change and are still on the 5% plan. And payment processing depends on size. Under $3 is 5% and $0.10 per transaction. Over is 2.9% and $0.30 per transaction. And more if PayPal or Venmo in not USD.
[2]

So the split seems much better on GitHub. But the conditions are a bit different for using the platforms, and you can get perks on Patreon which you may not be able to get on GitHub. I can't remember who / which project but I believe I saw one that said something about a difference in taxes / VAT and not being able to give some of the perks on GitHub because of it. Cannot find it right now though.

When I train my wetware neural net on copyrighted work, that does not make everything produced by it in the future copyright infringement. Why should it be otherwise for my silicon neural net?
Isochrone should follow the transport graph and is not just a nested circles (aka buffer) going out of centroid of shape… this article is somewhat misleading and also a bit sensational since people been doing isochrone analysis and maps for decades

Agreed. This will only break things, especially research code.

What I saw when I joined Elon Musk’s supposed truth army
Reddit was arguably the last “social media” I was using until a few weeks ago with the protest. I resigned as a moderator of a decently large sub and deleted the app. Let me tell you, it has been the best few weeks for me mentally in years. I set up inoreader and only grabbed a couple of publication/writers I really like. I don’t doom scroll, there’s no capability for comments so I don’t get dragged into any arguments, and even with HN still in my life the churn and burn of content and simplicity/general culture keeps me to a few comments a week at most.

I know a lot of people talk about “delete Facebook/hit the gym” etc. but gym or not, my life is infinitely better without social media now. It is very clear to me that it’s not even a situation where the cons outweighs the pros now, there simply aren’t any pros left.

Someone enumerated the issues with Reddit, as well as social media writ large, at the start of the Reddit blackout. There’s a lot of interesting insight about the failures of Web 2.0 from a consumer standpoint, but one line at the end really resonated with me: “The Internet just isn’t fun anymore.“ Obviously that’s a pretty broad stroke and we should always be wary of rose-tinted glasses, but I can’t say I don’t get what they mean.
Somewhere between right and wrong there is a field. I will meet you there.
Isn't this basically how we got Boaty McBoatface?
I've been puzzled by how much more entertaining exploring cities, forests, or whatever is in games compared to the real life. I play games like GTA or Skyrim and, after being awestruck by their vast, beautiful open worlds, go outside to explore the real world in the same way and get bored much faster. Why is that? Real life has more detail and complexity, so real world exploration should be more interesting, right?

You probably have the answer there. Even if the real world holds a larger number of interesting things than a game, the distance between the things is so much larger than in games that I have to spend most of the time just navigating between them. In games, I can get from one interesting thing to the next in minutes or seconds.
Is this new? Footer says 2021
Cool, but I suggest to look into using terraform for "infrastructure as code" for creating all sorts of aws services/infrastructure and maintaining state.

It seems complex at first, but it is a lot more maintable and portable than creating aws infrastructure manually in the console. Once you leave your service to run for 6 months you will forget where stuff is, then in the worst possible moment if it goes down and you need to make some change you'll be franticly looking for aws docs... "can I create a synthetic canary and use the lambda I already have, or do I have to delete it and create it from Cloud Watch interface?" These kind of questions are the bane of Aws ops experience... And once you learn everything they "bring a new console experience"... So I prefer to learn terraform once and that's it.

Why terraform and not python with boto, cdk, cloudformation or ansible or something else? Because terraform is easy to port between providers (sort of), people who are not that good in python find terraform easier so you don't need "senior" people to maintain your code, finally it's a pretty "opinionated" about how w stuff should be done, so it's unlikely you'll open your project in a year and think "why in the world I did that!?", because all your tf projects will be very similar most likely. Also tf is mainly for infrastructure as code, there is no configuration management like in ansible... It is for one thing and it does it relatively well. (I have no relation to TF beyond being a happy user).
ZFS is block based, not extent based, but blocks can be variable size from my understanding. Btrfs does compress individual blocks at 4KiB granularity, but can use the same zstd dictionary for up-to 128KiB runs of contiguous blocks. I don't know about modern NTFS but IIRC it can't compress logical blocks larger than 4KiB anyway, or couldn't a long time ago, so at that point it's kind of moot when compared to the greater ratios of the competitors.

In practice being a true extent-based filesystem with compression and snapshotting is one of bcachefs's distinguishing features (snapshotting is rather obvious in a block-based system by comparison). Other systems work similarly at a high level but the details are of course quite different in practice.

As Stephen Colbert would say: "Hey scientists, how's the cure for cancer coming along?"
Yep, I use SMS and email, and don't see a need for anything else. Neither of these impose any particular demand on anyone who wants to contact me; they don't need to install any apps or set up any new accounts.
The Day After famously spooked Ronald Reagan -- a former Hollywood actor who liked to catch movies when he could -- who later screened it for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and asked them if it was really that bad.

Their answer was "nope, it'll be worse, much worse", and that pushed Reagan to reach out to the Soviets and work on de-escalation.
In agree in that there is someone on this thread who believes they know better than everybody else.

You log into LinkedIn every week or two to check messages there? I'd call that pretty solid engagement. If I were a product person there, I'd be happy to have a user like you. I log in every few years when I really have to for some reason and it's always a pain because I'm going to have to reset my password, figure out my login, blah, blech.
>what's in settings.py should probably be in an env file

Have you used Django? Django follows the pattern of a settings file. No environment variables.

A global env file imo is definitively worse. It forces you to write code outside of the python ecosystem to extract these variables. Additionally python code references an environment variable that's not explicitly set by the env code could hit some logic errors or unexpected state.

What I would do if I had more time is have the settings file reference an env. The main benefit is that settings can be reused across apps and env errors are localized to a single point of failure instead of being littered throughout the app as references to env vars.

>This kind of comments are kind of useless it should be self explanatory

They are useless. I agree. I put the comments there in case someone disagrees. Doesn't hurt in my opinion.

>also maybe extract variables and name them better like

You mean with patten matching. No that's actually syntactically less appropriate here. The return value was not a structured product type. It was not a tuple.

The return value was a list which implies variable length. Should the list change in size that would change the pattern match. This is most likely just bad typing on the library. But my handling of said type is appropriate. Also it's super minor.

>variables and methods name could be clearer, use good names instead of bad comments, extract variables, don't define methods inside of methods

I'm actually with you on this one. I prefer clear names over elegant names. But this is not overall sentiment among the majority.

Overall people prefer an elegant name over a very descriptive one simply put of some universal intrinsic ocd instinct they all have... even though short elegant names could provide zero informational value.

I'm just catering to the majority here. Make myself a comment Nazi as most people don't disparage that and use elegant names as most people prefer that over longer descriptive names.

>it's definitely not BAD code, but I'd expect a guy with 10YoE to do better

Have you seen code written by people with 10yoe? What you will find is overall 10 yoe doesn't converge on your personal view perfect code.

It converges on their view which likely is wildly different from your view.

But this thread has been extremely informative on that fact seeing how literally everyone's view is completely different and how everyone thinks they're own personal view of the universe is the enlightened path.

The common theme: is lack of unit tests. But to further illustrate the diversity of opinions... You didn't even touch on testing. It took a back seat to "bad comments".
How do they do it, like the imuse system of in mokey island 2, where different music layers get added and removed as you move aeound?

Controversial posts go down waayy better here than on reddit. To the point that its ridiculous to even draw the comparison.
The longer I live, the more I wonder if traveling is something people actually enjoy. (And this is much worse, since its this faux-traveling)

There is quite a bit of pain from simply moving your body long distances. The reward must make up for this.

Beautiful views are the least rewarding part, those moments are fleeting, and there are plenty of more beautiful things you can see on your phone without leaving your bed. This is basically the goal of Disney, throw in some short physical hedonism from rides, and that is the experience. Only thing I'm missing is that having your own children smile will cause some intense pleasure thanks to biology.

However, call me a Platonist, but the best part of traveling is the knowledge. I remember physically feeling awful during my travels in Europe. The transportation was long, the food was so small portions I felt ill (until I learned you could get tuna sandwiches everywhere[Weight lifter walking 12+ hrs/day]), and outside the Sistine chapel, I had seen these views before. However looking back on it, and my favorite moments was learning about the history and learning about the area. Being physically able to walk from Aurelian walls to the colosseum and the forum was enlightening. A history book couldn't teach me this.

Traveling physically hurts, but it doesn't mean it wont be looked back fondly.
I took my kids to Disney last year for the first time. We went to go see Anna and Elsa. The line moved fairly quickly, and the group ahead of us went in through a closed door. Almost immediately the door opened again and we were pulled through. Rather than seeing the princesses, we were in a hallway of the house with ~8 doors, and immediately shuffled into one of them where the princesses now were. On the way through, I tongue-in-cheek asked the attendant what was behind the other doors. "Broom closets."
People love using any opportunity to bring up this movie on the internet

> Also, I've been holding back on switching to NixOS, but I'm finally dedicating my next free weekend to install it on my laptop.

Good luck and welcome to Nixdom :)

NixOS is a lot of fun even when it doesn't work. It's actually more fun when it's broken haha - Nix has given me the courage to debug some nasty stuff not in my wheelhouse. Thus growing my wheelhouse.
>It reminds me a bit of the people who didn't pull their masks up over their noses during the pandemic.

That's a terrible comparison. One is a selfish moron, the other idealistic.
I see it as a consensus problem, like boycotts or voting.

If enough people join you, it's a win. If not, you've wasted your effort / money / vote / time.

Sometimes it's hard to discern if that critical mass exists.

> If they can't afford it? That's fine

Agree to disagree. Even for "entry level creators" the 8gb ram is a dealbreaker in my view. That ups the effective base price to 900€. Again very good machine, but no surprise that 900€ gets you a good device.

I'm a Never Myspace, Snapchat, Instagram, Fediverse guy. I'm always threatening to delete my Facebook though and have parked it on disabled status for over half a decade. People get offended by me not these social medias.

I just learned early enough that I have to have internet life, professional life, social life and family life all isolated for on death other.
Not to be pedantic, but you mean "it only has to happen twice'. The first nuclear war was 1945.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service got slated for having a series of ads run in the early 2000s telling people to just get a takeaway on their way home from the pub instead of trying to cook when they got in. The big complaint was that it was encouraging people to eat unhealthily, when presumably a drunk person getting in would be whipping up a nice wee quinoa, avocado and pak choi salad or something.

It cut fire deaths from chip pan fires to basically fuck all, within a month.
Gotcha! Thanks for the feedback!

Someone does not have to understand your idiosyncrasies to be your friend.

Most people will not, in fact, understand why you are so picky about the chat platforms you are willing to use, and they will think (correctly, I would say) that you care more about your social media stances than you care about their friendship. So you will think they were not worth the effort to begin with, and they will think the same in return, but ultimately they are not restricting their potential friend pool nearly as much as you are. If it works out well for you, great, otherwise you have to be a bit more pragmatic.
It amazes me the sheer quantity and variety of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic film and other material. Jericho is generously a prime time drama with a backdrop of nuclear attack.

There’s a sort of seriousness/grimness continuum from Threads and other films on one end to the cartoonish Sam Hell Comes to Frog Town on the other end.
I have a fair amount of experience with ZFS, and have the same question.
Brute-forcing the NYT Digits game
And cheaper cars. It's not all negative. It's just different products for different segments. High income earners will get targeted with vanity degrees and ludicrously expensive "experiences".
I think article would be more interesting if the author had actually solved the advertisement professionals problem, and not just made it into five or six possible problems and left it at that.
I log into it strictly to job search, and for that it has been fantastic. What I love is that I don’t need to engage with the site regularly in order to utilize it for that function. I’m on every year or two for a few weeks (minutes a day tops) to update resumes, clean up my “professional storefront” essentially, and do a few job searches - which then leads to me getting regular emails with job opportunities that match my parameters. And unlike other hiring sites, LinkedIn has actually produced results for me.
There are all kinds of different legal rights owing to differences in copyright law, contract law, court cases, the medium in question, etc. such that even if one rights holder gave out worldwide distribution rights, inevitably some local difference will require geofencing.

Example: a famous {musician, artist, author, etc.} dies. His heirs dispute who owns the rights to his work.

Courts in Country A give Heir A exclusive rights, but Country B gives Heir B those same rights. Other countries give both of them part ownership.

Worse, a backup drummer / ghostwriter / etc. gets some rights by law in Country C due to a quirk in their local laws.

Now a hypothetical Netflix has to negotiate with different parties in different countries.

This is a mess all on its own.

Add on decades of trading around rights on a per-country basis (or even per time period, per medium, etc.) as part of deals, and it's intractable.

At one point I worked on software to record this kind of thing. It certainly was eye opening, to say the least. Needing to capture legal disputes was an important feature...
This is a myth that keeps coming up, in spite of being debunked time and time and time again. Solaris could not use the GPL because Sun didn't own the rights to all parts, so the GPL's copyleft wouldn't work and they needed a new license. When OpenSolaris was released it wasn't 100% free/open source (some parts were later rewritten under OpenSolaris, and illumos completed that and is 100% free/open source).

In hindsight, an explicit "GPL compatibility clause" like the EUPL has would clearly been a wiser choice, but that wasn't clear in 2005, and it's too late for that now, unfortunately.

On the other hand, you could also blame the GPL for not recognizing that other copyleft licenses exist; they also could have written a compatibility clause in GPL 3. "CDDL is incompatible with the GPL" could also be phrased as "GPL is incompatible with the CDDL".

I read it thirty years ago when I was overseas in the Army and going through a separation that would end in divorce. I always imagined the unbearable lightness of being was the joy of being separate and free from everyone in the world, with the curse that you were totally alone.
(1) The UAW is maybe the best union in the world (been on their picket lines) so that makes American auto factories exceptionally safe

(2) As someone whose obsession with anime even annoys people at anime conventions, my take is that irony has a special place in Japanese culture. For instance they say they have filial piety but they have high rates of elder abuse. Allegedly they have a pacifist constitution but they have a large “Japan Self Defense Force”. There is always an outsider and insider view of a situation which is fertile ground for “normalization of deviance”, see

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uchi–soto

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honne_and_tatemae

(3) “Continuous improvement” optimizes the happy path at the expense of resilience to exceptional events. For instance just in time production was crippled by the supply chain shocks of the pandemic. At Tokaimura they were mixing nuclear fuel and were (a) making a higher enrichment than they ever did before and (b) had modified their tools to speed production up. (b) is a competitive advantage in most places but in nuclear fuel processing you have to always avoid forming a critical mass and that is done through applying rules to the process. They got away with it… Until they didn’t.

Is there a name for this kind of post? I've been calling it "abstract workplace philosophy"[0] in my head. I always feel like this sort of thing is too general to be applicable to me. My workplace problems are usually more of the "we got this bug report and looking at the code you're not sure if the feature ever worked to begin with" flavor.

[0] Or banal workplace philosophy if I'm feeling uncharitable.

A summary of the article, written by Claude:

The artificial intelligence startup Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI employees concerned about A.I. safety, is releasing a new chatbot called Claude. However, the company's employees remain deeply worried about the risks of powerful A.I. models like Claude becoming dangerous if misused. They compare themselves to the creators of the atomic bomb and obsess over existential threats that advanced A.I. could pose. Still, they argue that building cutting-edge models is necessary for researching how to make them safer, and that having safety-focused companies in the A.I. race is better than leaving it solely to profit-driven firms. So Anthropic pushes forward, attempting to balance competitiveness with caution.
They didn't share financial information, they used meta and google analytics on their sites, which can leak financial information by showing what page the user was on (e.g. pages specific to certain deductions or benefits.) Most people here in the comments clearly didn't read the article.

It's not like meta was buying up people's tax returns. Just negligence on the part of these tax sites.
I'll be honest.. Being black i genuinely think drill is the worst thing to ever happen in black music. It does in fact lead to violence and retaliation for things said on a song. How would someone even conduct that study. Listen to the music and be a part of the community then you'll understand. You cannot draw any significant conclusion from the comfort of a high rise. That kind of music contributes to a very negative cultural aspect. It celebrates evil, straight up celebrates it.
That’s why the US and the EU have a data agreement. If I understand it correctly.
