Yes, anyone who has spent any serious amount of time maintaining Nix code has felt this pain. I also have come to dislike the Nix language, but it was the daily debugging that eventually drove me away. In my case, it was for production systems, and there's nothing more agonizing then having to debug a Nix stack trace on a deadline.
> to protect their users from Meta inhaling user data

If you're running a public Mastodon instance, Facebook has surely, one way or another, managed to "inhale" your user data, at least for market research. Only way to avoid that is to run a private instance, and then connecting to Threads/Facebook/Meta wouldn't be a threat regardless.
> You have to learn a new OS because a lot of your prior Linux knowledge no longer applies.

This is what confused me the most.

Nix (CLI tools / language syntax)

NixOS (A Linux distro that has CLI tools, but also some CLI tools that are only available on this distro and not others, aka "nix" doesn't really work on Debian)

Flakes vs "configuration"

I just wanted to like "terraform apply" a system configuration on my Debian install.

People are obsessed with Nix because you can manage your config for their local system

Ok... Ansible has existed for 12 years? And you can use it on Debian/don't need a full OS/distro from the ground up (NixOS)

But people will come out of the woodworks to tell you how you don't understand, you're wrong, you're missing the point, Nix is the greatest.
Boring only digs 12 foot tunnels. That is big enough for London Tube trains but not normal trains. There is no indication that they can make regular tunnels cheap, or that their tunnels are particularly cheap. Their main product is Loop, which is driving Tesla cars in tunnels.
The CBO estimates that the government is indeed “on the hook” for about 93%[0] of ALL student loans, despite not necessarily being the originator or servicer.

There essentially is no such thing as a “private” student loan anymore.

In 2010 I wrote an AED Simulator for iPhone because we didn’t have enough in our volunteer fire department to do CPR training. It sold about $100 that year and continues to do so even today. This year I finally decided to give it an update but it very much looks and behaves the same.

> Nope. No tablets allowed anywhere near where I work, certainly not some random device that wants to just connect to the public internet to download some random pdfs from a defunct book subscription service.

Cool bro, good for you. Not everyone works where you do.

> Yes they do. The chances that a tablet with a digital file, or a subscription service, will still be accessible in 10/20 years are not good. A physical book will last centuries.

If you're making a point about the file being in a proprietary format and unavailable for corporate reasons then yes. But otherwise, no. We have been copying digital files between devices for decades now.

> Nope. That is a very rare circumstance in the modern military. What is not rare is someone wanting a specific question answered about an old bit of equipment or place, something nobody has touched in a decade. Someone in the field needs info and calls back to the support unit.

A call they wouldn't actually need to make in the first place if they had the book in digital format on their person. But we can assume that's an intelligence risk if it goes missing so we'd rather keep the info safe on base. That is understandable. But it doesn't change the fact that one of the pros of ebooks are their portability.

> Suddenly that old paper book on the shelf about some forgotten topic or place is a literal lifesaver.

There's literally no reason why that old paper book couldn't have a digital copy in an archive somewhere and probably does.

> And in the real military, one cannot assume network connectivity. We have to keep working even when the lights go out, especially when they lights are out. Paper books can do that.

It's almost as if both formats have different pros and cons and the consumer should be able to decide which work best for them and their own needs rather than having that dictated to them by the publishing industry or the needs of the military. I don't really consider having a copy of the "Crime Writer's Guide To Police Practice and Procedure" by Michael O'Byrne on my tablet whilst I'm backpacking to be a national security risk.

> I believe the data would need to be de-anonymized to be useful

I'm not aware of anyone selling person-level location data. Everyone in the ecosystem is far too scared to do that (and honestly not clear how to monetize).

It's all about foot traffic patterns and getting demographics, seeing what kind of other businesses they visit, etc IME. General location business analytics stuff.
Sure, but if grown up adults need to be in the office with someone watching over their shoulder and micromanaging them to make sure they get their work done on time and aren't slacking off, maybe you hired the wrong people or you're bad at managing.

You can motivate and manage people effectively even remotely if you do it right, and you can also catch slackers remotely as well since all these daily standup meetings and SW tools devs are using give you a good insight into who's making progress and who's not.

If you can't manage people remotely (provided they're also of the same culture and Time zone) then you probably can't manage them correctly in the office as well.

> Why allow them to extend it at all?

Marvel's an interesting choice, because the comic book depiction of Iron Man (for example) came out in the 60's, and almost certainly didn't make anywhere near the kind of money that the movies did. I'm not generally opposed to copyright holders getting some revenue from the later adaption of their work, especially in situations like that.

5 years is cutting it really close for your typical film adaption of a book: the first Twilight and Harry Potter movies came out 4 years after their books, and I could definitely see movie studios just waiting an extra year to cut out the original authors.

My ideal world would see original authors retaining these kinds of royalties for prolonged periods of time (maybe 40 years or the life of the author, whichever's longer), but losing their monopoly rights in a much shorter timespan: basically, for the first 5-10 years copyright works the way it does today, but beyond that anybody's allowed to make derivative works, in exchange for some legally-mandated revenue slice.
There were a couple things Windows did better regarding DOS when compared to OS/2:

* Windows ran on a DOS file system, so data portability was transparent.

* You could easily quit Windows to get back to something close to whatever DOS environment you had before.

* There was a runtime version of Windows that could be packaged with applications (Excel mainly, iirc) to make it possible to sell Windows apps to DOS users.

* Windows had support for LIM/EMS (which users might already have to run large Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets).

None of this was a great way to run DOS apps under Windows, but it did make it easier to transition from DOS to Windows slowly, without a wholesale jump, and the risk that entailed. It was easier (and cheaper) for a DOS user to experiment with Windows than it was with OS/2. The lower barrier to entry is worth a lot.
True, but in the end it's not real, even for men. You can increase Google's stock price by $x by serving better ads or implementing the next killer YouTube feature, but those things will eventually cease to exist, and your name will most likely not be tied to that any longer than you're alive. Capitalism glamourized working for these corporations, working to achieve this level of financial independence, in order to increase their own profits. Relevant clip from 1923: https://youtu.be/JZx5yiF-nPA

My point is that motherhood/fatherhood shouldn't be downplayed. It's the real end game of life, and is what this book is speaking about - even after you die, your child(ren) will possibly reproduce as well, leaving you with dozens, hundreds of eventual offspring.

By allowing any women to enter the workforce, all wages got pushed down, so now instead of a married couple being able to have the mother permanently at home, rearing up their child in the way they see fit and forming a human connection for them, both parents are forced to work to make ends meet. By capitalism forcing/allowing women to work, they removed the option for a parent be a full-time caregiver for their child. Everyone must work now - if you don't, and the single earner isn't making bank, be prepared to eat off food stamps and sacrifice your convenience, health, and safety.

This system may create weird incentives though.

Say I make an indie game to sell on steam, earning a meager but acceptable income from it, and I want to provide it 15 years of patches and updates (not unseen in indie games).

Does updating it with a new patch adding a few features count as a new work or the same one? Or should I instead not do updates, but make a "part 2" instead since that's a new work? But then it's not the same game anymore and it may be a worse experience for players to have to get two separate games, rather than one improved one!
Those are likely VoIP calls with spoofed numbers. I never answer anything with my area code (from where I was a decade ago), those are 100% spam.
That would be a shorter term of copyright than has ever existed in the United States.
These fixes were not available in the original. What you are experiencing is altered and is not at all what people are talking about when it comes to preservation.

For most people this is ok, but when we're talking about preservation it's the ability to play the game as it existed at that time with no barriers, and not something upscaled to 4k with widescreen patches and framerate changes to make it feel like a modern game with blocky aesthetics.

I could see some negative patterns cropping up with this. Author writes book, publisher sits on it until the 5 years are up and then they can publish without royalties to the author. Same would happen for a movie script or the like. Publishers just turn into scavenging hyenas waiting for copyrights to expire
> decided that new functionality should be split into indefinite life "features"

Yeah, once you do that you have settings, and not feature flags anymore.

Adjustable settings do come with a high risk of combinatorial explosion. Ideally, you separate the system functionality to control this problem, but that's not always possible.
Case in point, tbh
Also, regarding houses and land prices, there is no monopoly, but the prices are extremely high in large cities. So "it is a monopoly" doesn't sound like an explanation, but "charge the buyer as much as they can afford and a bit on top of that" is more realistic. And as for education, there seems to be no monopoly too.

You don't need an OpenAI API key.

Whilst I'm considering a switch to a subscription model, I will of course honour previously purchased lifetime licenses forever. When you buy a lifetime license, you are also sent a compiled version of the app that you can run locally on your own machine, using your own OpenAI API key, so there's no risk to you even if PitchPal ends up not being sustainable.

I didn't suggest that it was. I'm suggesting that this perspective on copyright is very myopic. Regulating copyright as if they are all culturally significant works is like regulating haystacks as if they consist only of needles.

> In finance, there is always more work than people

It would seem the general theme is: If the work is "cool" or "new", there isn't much of it to go around. If it is "legacy" or "profitable", no one wants to be in the same building as it.
If you look at the whole World: It's a country specific problem. There are even English speaking graduation programs with international degrees abroad from top universities everywhere. To give some examples study in Sweden, Denmark, Germany etc and spend nearly no money on tuition. Factor the cost of living in and it's overall still cheaper than studying in the US. And I have no doubt that people grow personally (beside the education side) if they spend a good amount of time in another country. It's just not super easy and super obvious to think out of the box.
+1, and don't forget that they don't force you to pay room & board for your dorm your first two years.

> Compulsory/statutory licensing would be one solution. As I understand it, that's what allows libraries to exist.

I don't think that's the case. At least, what allows libraries in the US is the "first-sale doctrine." From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine , "The doctrine enables the distribution chain of copyrighted products, library lending, giving, video rentals and secondary markets for copyrighted works (for example, enabling individuals to sell their legally purchased books or CDs to others)."

Something similar is why I can place an ad to sell my used Mac without violating Apple's trademark.

I assume Sweden (and the EU) have something similar. If not, that makes second-hand book, magazine, or any product sales rather difficult.

I definitely found Python easier to learn, although now I find common lisp easier to use (Commas are terrible, and for what- infix syntax?). But in terms of why the README might say that not everyone has time to learn common lisp, my point was that it's just an obvious truism that more language bindings increases the potential userbase. To someone who already knows python, python bindings make using Petalisp that much easier. To someone who doesn't know Python, well then they can pick up Python or CL at their leisure.

Because their target is Twitter, and the people fleeing it. So time to market is critical. A PM would be laser focused on shipping a product with the feature set needed to do that as quickly as possible. Integrating with the fediverse doesn't help that, so it probably not high on the priority list, even if they genuinely want do integrate with it.
Respectfully, this isn't so much a coherent set of principles about the limited monopoly copyright grants, but rather fan service. Copyright doesn't draw distinctions between video games and player piano rolls, and why would it? What would lead any of us to believe that we'd ever alter copyright to forfeit rights when things are DRM'd? One of the complexities of copyright law is that it's harmonized across much of the world, so you're asking for radical changes not just to US law but for all of Europe as well.

If economic growth is a byproduct of population growth, then we need to find new patterns for economic growth. There was never a future in which human populations would (or could) increase forever.

Blaming wealthy capitalists for ruining motherhood/fatherhood seems rather conspiratorial. Why do you believe men and women are not rational actors working in their own self-interest? Again, women want jobs not because capitalists forced them to participate in the workforce, but because being forced to be a dependent of the men in your life truly sucks.

And this discussion in the context of women having jobs is my problem with the framing. Forcing women to be birthing factories permanently hitched to a man for their own safety and security is a worse outcome than the cessation of economic or population growth.
