Read the rest of my post.

> It is preventing users from doing illegal things.

It's not, clearly. Search your favorite DRM'ed TV show name followed by "torrent S01E03" (to indicate season 1 episode 3) and see how well that DRM is working.

> Saying that DRM should be removed so that users can make illegal copies of the media they are watching is not a strong argument to me.

I didn't say that.

DRM should be removed so that users can access content they've paid for. DRM nearly always effects legitimate users.

> People make content and people want to be able to have their copyright not be infringed. Computers by default make it way to easy to violate the copyright of creators which in why making it possible to secure content is such a valuable idea.

It's not a valuable idea, because it's an impossible idea. If you can view the content, you can pirate it. Period. DRM has done absolutely nothing to stop pirates and has consistently harmed users.

It's worth noting that content creators are often totally on board with releasing without DRM: it's content distributors who are worried about this, generally.

It also depends on the price point you want to hit. Cotton is much less expensive than wool.

Probably most. Old Windows games run perfectly fine on WINE for the most part. I assume that makes up the majority of "classic" games.

And those that are for older consoles can usually be emulated just fine.
We're attempting to address some of these problems at https://www.flipt.io/gitops. Having your flags defined as configuration and committed to repository opens up a range of possibilities in terms of static analysis.

Additionaly, we've got a prototype static analysis tool to finding calls to our feature flag clients in both Go and Rust too.

This is fantastic. I'm already using string interpolation & builders for my HTML/JS/CSS source, so why not the same for SVG?

I didn't realize the syntax was so straightforward. It looks like you could even build the final SVG with some clever SQL queries if all you need to do is produce a time series visual (i.e. string aggregation over Path).
Yeah, probably the consistent way to explain it is that Oracle thought they could get away with it for Solaris but the market of Linux distros is quite healthy and they don't have the power to pull the same thing so they push the other angle instead.

There's fairly robust emulators for most consoles up to 2000. There's even full DOS/windows environment emulators for this task.

The ugly spot is the 2000s, but the ps3 and 360 emulator are quickly improving.

this is exactly my experience for the last week. let's see whether I feel the need to update my instance with this patch. for now I'm just like "oh, another twitter link, let me completely ignore it."
First $100: Amazon referral account. I set up a stupid website which had a referral link. Also, occasionally I'd post referral links to reddit and Facebook when the product I was linking was highly relevant to the conversation.

First $1,000: Haven't made it yet. My referral account got banned after I stupidly sent a referral link to a finance person at work who was ordering more RAM for my system and wanted to know exactly what to order.

Someone paid me $150 to rewrite a Perl script in Python.

Maybe one day I'll finish writing this game I haven't worked on in a while and reach $1,000 with that.
To be fair, they have a bunch of associated tooling like their query language and UI, so it might have been those that have merited a bump to 3.x
Exactly this.

Twitter is not all bad. This advice I concur is one of the useful utilities of Twitter.
I think many teams should manage a single service, which really drastically lowers on call support burden. Unwieldy is a single team (10 or fewer people) supporting a service by themselves, or more than one service by themselves. If at the point you have 16 microservices, that means you should have 16 very distinct areas of technology and business. The monolith to 4 services was an example, and I think you should really be careful each time you carve out any area of business, and the better focus is on focusing on how to scale the monolith further.

Quote them some Henry David Thoreau[1]: "Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life? We are determined to be starved before we are hungry.

Squats are not unhealthy. They are probably the single most useful exercises you can put your body through: high exertion activity for your largest muscle groups means it's a better calorie burner than most people's cardio routines, they work out your core and other stabilizing muscles, which helps you not hurt yourself anywhere else in the gym, and they (in conjunction with deadlifts) build the muscles human beings actually use to move heavy objects.
yes, I was very impressed by the title, but once I dug into this it was sort of like "well we could probably have accomplished this ~10 years ago when optogenetics first came out". Definitely a situation where branding the title got something "so silly that no one did it before" got it to be noticed.

Clear but not sufficient.

"detectable" and "interferes with experiments" are different levels. And there are different thresholds for "interferes".

We've just migrated our ERP from a regular deployment on VMs into Kubernetes. We have a very bursty self-service component, so being able to scale up easily for the week we need it is quite nice. We've taken advantage of this ability multiple times and seen great success each time.

We're not running the DB in Kubernetes though.

I used to pay for Nintendo's Switch account (or whatever that was called) I was kinda frustrated with how limited the collection of NES and SNES games are available there. Played through all the Zeldas, which is great, but I wish a lot more was available. I am wondering if, for the most part, the license holder is Nintendo, it's a lot easier for them to make it available, but as soon as you get into third party developers, I imagine the people that owned the copyrights are either non findable or dead now.
I don't know many other jobs that work this way. Imagine getting a construction job and having to supply your own jackhammer or take out a temporary loan to buy one. Doesn't the company have some they should supply you with? Gig-economy jobs work this way, e.g. Uber and Lyft, but those are problematic for the same reason (and a lot more reasons imho).

As another commenter said, you're adding wear and tear to your own device. Sure, I have my own computers, but they're all spoken for, hosting VMs and containers or acting as my lab. Why should I subsidize the profits of a multi-million-dollar, for-profit company by letting them use my computer at no extra cost?

Your e-waste point is a good one, but I don't think Canonical's managers were looking out for mother nature when they made that choice.
Thank goodness for so-called piracy.
> If kitchen knives were made impossible to use for homicide, but could be made for the same exact price in the same amount of time and were just as effective at everything else there would be no reason for people to sell homicide capable knives.

If content were made impossible to pirate, but could be made for the same exact price in the same amount of time and were just as effective at everything else there would be no reason for people to sell piracy capable content.

But, homicide-incapable knives and piracy-incapable content aren't real. They're a fantasy, which does not exist.

All DRM does is make it harder for legitimate users to access content they have paid for.
"Massachusetts lawmakers are weighing a near total ban on buying and selling of location data drawn from consumers’ mobile devices in the state, in what would be a first-in-the-nation effort to rein in a billion-dollar industry.

The legislature held a hearing last month on a bill called the Location Shield Act, a sweeping proposal that would sharply curtail the practice of collecting and selling location data drawn from mobile phones in Massachusetts. The proposal would also institute a warrant requirement for law-enforcement access to location data, banning data brokers from providing location information about state residents without court authorization in most circumstances.

...

No state has gone so far as to completely ban the sale of location data on residents. The most common approach in other states is to require digital services and data brokers to obtain clear consent from consumers to collect data and put some restrictions on transfer and sale."

I'm totally open to being wrong. But take the girls' college thing for instance. Many, many people I know met their spouses through college. There simply aren't as many chances to socialize and meet people after you graduate. I think it stands to reason that if you are a straight woman, you are less likely to find a spouse if you go to a college with only women.
JFC... I said it doesn't matter rif you like them and then you went on a long winded diatribe about "affection" for the companies.

Yep. This is part of why I don't use streaming services. I prefer to buy the music directly from the musicians when I can, or go through something like Bandcamp if that's what the musician wants to do.

The irony is the last time I fell for this "SRE/K8s/Platform Engineering" crap, they promised auto-scaling and used it as a motivation for the tech. Yet when the time came, and services inevitably needed to scale due to load, they had to manually log in to increase some random config to let it grow.

There was a show in the late 1980’s called Murphy’s Law about an insurance investigator who lived on a floor of a warehouse like the base in Sneakers and had an asian girlfriend. It had some of the best comedic pacing I’d ever seen on TV but only made one short season and never got into syndication or home video which is too bad.
Chromium load time with an empty profile on my system is 4.5 seconds with a cleared disk block cache, and 2.0 seconds with a warm disk cache.

I think that would wholly destroy the ability of writers to actually make a living writing novels. The fact that the living isn't great now does not justify this.

It's an old joke. It is also a statement illustrating a type of logical absurdity.

Those are disanalogous in the case of theoretical physics where you don’t need access to any expensive equipment. There’s nothing in principle preventing someone from learning math and physics on their own or from a traditional university and then coming up with new theories alone. And in fact this happens all the time and most of those people get called crackpots.
Talking about what is allowed on youtube as if that's what defines what is copyrightable is a bait and switch. Youtube has an extra-judicial copyright system that explicitly favors large media owners so they won't sue youtube again.
Runtime, multi-method dispatch is probably the singular thing that stands out as "missing" from other systems. I don't miss it a lot, but there have certainly been times when I have.

I also enjoyed the ability to not be locked into the rigor of a class structure when it comes to methods. Since CLOS is function based, it's trivial to add functions to a class that you don't even have the source code to.

There have been many times working with a 3rd party or system library where I've had that "if only I had this little method" moment that would make my life easier. I'd rather have that capability and fight, say, namespace issues for the "Well what if everyone added their own 'upshiftFirstLetter' method to the String class" problems on an ad hoc basis.

Part of this, of course, stems from the locked down nature of the scope of classes. Not having access to internal structures and state. I'd rather take those risks of leveraging internal state knowledge not supported by the original designer vs the alternatives of sometimes having to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

CloudFlare is only showing data from DNS queries to their 1.1.1.1 service. Twitter also happened to introduce rate limits at the same time Threads was released. While the article isn't saying it directly, it seems to be implying that Threads is causing this dip in requests, when in reality the majority of Twitter users are now making fewer requests to the website due to rate limits.

Another point in the article suggests also that the large number of Threads users were never Twitter users in the first place. So how could Threads have caused such a massive drop in Twitter DNS queries?

It took a couple of reads of this before I realized it was saying the same thing I was going to say. Restated: in 20 years from now, it will be 87% of games won't even start/run even if you have a copy, because they are dependent on servers that aren't running anymore and are closed source.
I remember learning and using OOP in computer science classes and then going to apply it to a game I was working on. I object-ified everything! It felt like it all just made sense.

Then I ran the game. And it crawled at 15fps and I wondered why.

Of course I was new to programming so I can’t just blame OOP but it was my first lesson in how OOP isn’t a magic wand by any means. And later I got into more functional programming and today I find myself writing function-based components in react for a living and loving it. It’s funny how things go like that.
I heard this theory once that one of the biggest jumps in cellular complexity was when cells started to use mitochondria for energy production. This created so much abundance that organisms could afford to diversify into all kinds of shapes and sizes and ways of life.

Software similarly isn't like farming where the margins are so thin that processes become homogenized. Software companies traditionally have had so much "fat" that the structures built around this cashflow are arbitrary.

Some build temples and monasteries, some create a monarchies or dictatorship, some are anarchist libertarian experiments, etc...

What is common among them though is that the hierarchy revolves around culture rather than pure meritocratic ability.

E.g. if a foreigner goes to work in Japan, he/she might think that it's all fake work meant to keep fax machine companies alive but it's not "fake" when viewed from the perspective of keeping a culture alive. In any institution, there will always be founders and traditionalists who need the culture to stay alive to support their position. This "support" exists in the form of followers which make up the bulk of the org body.

Engineering is an outlier because it's more mercenary, the skills are transferable so there isn't a need to compound loyalty and connections at one single place.

That is... traditional companies are like a national army. Even in times of peace it is held together by nationalism or peacekeeping. Tech companies are like mercenary armies, they are only held together when there is Something to Do.

Copyright should adapt to modern world. Currently, what happens are a bunch of laws made by politicians under strong lobby from giant corporations. This doesn't benefit the public neither the artists.

There are lots of new categories where works of art (video games included) can fall into which simply didn't exist when copyrights were introduced. The worst part: as copyrights evolved it made legal access to older works harder.

I like how GoG is running their business but it doesn't include everything and laws should get modernized so that hundred of similar companies like GoG can flourish and thrive. For the cases where getting access to copyrights holder is not viable... well, for that users and fans should have the right to use, copy and distribute it legally. Nobody is making any money from works nobody can get access.
