You can search across tabs using the tab search in the top right corner though (an arrow pointing down). There might be a shortcut for it but I'm not aware of any.

Although if you are really opening 400 tabs at once I'd recommend either tree-style tabs or rethinking your life choices lol.
>If you don't reply in some reasonable amount of time (say three months), then the copyright is considered abandoned and the work enters the public domain.

I'm not sure why I'm legally required to respond to requests for the use of my copyrighted works. I can simply ignore them. Requiring that I respond to them will create an undue burden on me.

I don't mind as long as I can bill you personally for forcing me to hire someone to respond to such requests, at a reasonable rate for a legal attorney with a specialty in copyright. He can even provide invoices, although the time required to produce the invoice will be included in the invoice.
Here's a much more reasonable and informed take on the topic, straight from Mastodon's CEO/founder – https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-thr....

Threads will support ActivityPub. They already have UI elements in place for it in the app (like showing your home server domain on your profile), so there's no reason to believe that isn't their intention. The problem, if any, will be on the other end. Plenty of Mastodon/Fediverse servers have already stated their intention of blocking Meta's access to their networks, so even in the best case the end result will be a fragmented mess.
Mmm, I'm not saying I entirely disagree—I haven't worked at Google, or any organization of that size—but it seems to me that part of the problem here is not simply "shipping the org chart", but rather the fact that the org chart is poorly, well...organized.

Why should Google Maps be completely separate products for Android and iOS (and, potentially, web)? If you have one product, with...I dunno, something like multiple release teams? handling the different platforms, surely that helps to pool knowledge and maintain (rough) feature parity?

And honestly, I think think this focus on each product being its own entirely separate island is a big part of what's wrong with Google in general—it seems like it contributes to the pointless proliferation of mediocre messenger apps, for one thing.
In the end college costs so much because people are willing to pay, because they think it's a good investment. Generally they have been right, college was the best investment you could possibly make historically. Now it's just an average investment, but the FOMO of not going puts it over the top.
Parade, here comes the rain. I hate who I've become these days, only ever complaining about stuff, but here we go:

I find "^history search" to be actually and annoyingly useless because Firefox, like Chrome and seemingly every other browser, has unreliable, short-living browsing history. The times where I find myself trying to use the "^-search" in Firefox are always just a little bit after whatever I was searching for fell out of history retention window. The annoyance part is that my every failed attempt at using "^-search" is another reminder that browser vendors seem to want to get rid of browsing history entirely.

The rest of those tools, they work for me. Sometimes. "%tab-search" and "#title-search" seem to be negatively affected by what the article describes as "some sort of smart guess on what you type there", and overall I had them fail to find the exact tab/page I had open enough times, that I don't trust them.

"+tag search" - that's a new one for me, I didn't know it existed. I only recently discovered you can add tags to bookmarks, and those tags do complete for "unqualified" queries (i.e. just starting to type in the address bar) with some priority, and are displayed nicely.
> Yes, it was. I evaluated OS/2 1.0 professionally, when it was new; did you?

I was 12, so just a user and programmer. (Dating back to Windows 2.11)

> 1. Windows 2 had an edition built around 286 protected mode. ... In fact, Windows/286 actually delivered one main benefit: you got an extra 64 kB of RAM.

Windows/286 didn't use protected mode, all it let you do is run in real mode with A20 unmasked. (Which is where the extra almost-64K came from). Probably did terrible things for the marketing of 80286-specific software for a while.

Windows/386 did use protected mode to run multiple DOS apps, but the Windows subsystem ran just like any other DOS app - in real mode.

It was Windows 3.0 that migrated the Windows subsystem over to protected - mostly with existing apps. You run Excel on Windows/386, you have 640K + whatever EMS you might have. You run Excel on Windows 3.0 (even on a 286) and you have direct access (albeit segmented) to the full installed RAM. You're right, though, that none of this helped DOS apps.

> Windows 2 was able to multitask dos applications, in software, but the problem with doing it that way is that they all had to fit into 640 kB of RAM.

I've done this with DesqView on an 8088 also. It worked well enough to run a couple BASIC interpreters, although it wouldn't have been useful at all for anything real.

It was interesting to play around with the total lack of memory protection. The two BASICs (with the same DEF SEG) could easily be able to share data with peeks and pokes to the same memory location.
Depends, i imagine like most things - the answer is nuanced, or at the very least depends on the specific other decisions.

For example, i don't see why a configuration would install actual packages - if that's what you mean. Besides, i am not advocating against lazy by itself. I'm just saying that something which is both lazy and untyped is a huge PITA. Nickel adds typing, validation, etc - information, by which you can still have Lazy and a better DX by way of types. At least in theory, i've not used it much.

My biggest gripe is dynamic Nix, fwiw.

The rise in prices has largely been driven by schools going on real estate binges and bloating administrations.

Right before I graduated, my school decided to build a new football stadium, because they decided using the city's stadium wasn't attractive enough for students. They promised tuition wouldn't be used to pay for it, and it wasn't. We just got something like $500 added to student "fees" instead.

I have no sympathy for universities and colleges in the US, only for the students who were duped into thinking they didn't have another choice.
> "Because the government is not doing its due diligence as a lender"

That is called regulation, and once you start putting in regulations, then everyone starts screaming about big government and over-regulation. There is no winning, put in protections and you are some big government commie bastard, don't put in protections and you are heartless and ineffectual.

And, I dare say, banks even in other areas where they could lose money (2008 real-estate), are just as eager to reel people in and ignore bad loans.
> I don't have the time and space to download the 37GB file. But if Silverman's book is in there... isn't this a slam dunk case?

Yes, and no.

Its pretty much a slam dunk case that, insofar as the initial training required causing a copy of the corpus defined by the tracker to be made as part of the process, it involved an act violating copyright.

Whether that entitles Silverman to any remedy beyond compensation for (maybe treble damages for) the equivalent of the purchase price of the book depends on... well, basically the same issues of how copyright relates to model training (and an additional argument about whether the illicit status of the material before the training modifies that).
> "Test was successful so it's rolling out to all users, minus a 0.5% holdback population for the next 2 years"

Man, I couldn't imagine being a user in such a situation. "Oh, I guess I'm just not getting the better functionality?" Even worse if I were a paying customer.
Pretty sure that has always been the case in US.
It seems like one of the biggest problems is prioritizing the cleanup of old flags. I know some companies have developed tools like Piranha[0] to automate this process and a few of our customers at grit.io have used it for that as well.

Would love to hear if others have had success with automated flag cleanup.
This is incorrect. A classical limit of the graviton picture fully reproduces general relativity. The incompatibility lies in the non-renormalizability of people's attempts and quantization of the Einstein Hilbert action, meaning that all the quantum loop corrections have unfixed coupling constants which can't be derived from the classical theory (unlike things like electromagnetism).
Assuming such a rule would mean "all mandatory fees are prohibited" and that we're talking about profit driven ventures (not cooperatives or patrons that might have other reasons to want to lend money than monetary profits), you can be creative and charge money in ways that technically doesn't count as interest.

The Medici bank gained lots of their money from foreign exchange speculation issuing a sort of option for buying foreign currencies at a specific date (this would probably be a lot harder to do today), you could also charge late fees with the social understanding that paying a loan back on time is really bad for your credit score. I guess a modern conglomerate might make money by putting certain terms in effect: You want to build a house but need some money to do so? I will lend you the money if you contract my contractors to build your house. A university could lend you the money but keep charging extortionate tuitions as long as the cost for the education service is unregulated.
Researcher?
Since there is pretty much no social safety net, people are probably going to find some sort of work even if they have a lot of student loan debt. And, the debt servicer can garnish those wages. You are essentially selling yourself into slavery if you take a student loan! (And the reasoning is so weird to me; I went to a state school and tuition was $750/semester. Why are people paying more unless they are extremely gifted and they want to go into a highly regulated field like civil engineering or medicine?)

Student loans not being dischargeable through bankruptcy creates a moral hazard, much like bailing out banks. Banks will lend an infinite amount of money for student loans, because there is no risk to them. Creating free money always devalues it; if you have to work for your money, an education is priced $X because that's the maximum people will pay. If everyone gets unearned money to pay for education, it becomes worth $X + $Y. This is just the SaaS model for people. (Consider AWS; "oh you want to make money selling a SaaS service? we'll take 10% of your revenue for servers." Student loans are the same thing, "oh, you want to go into a high-earning field? we'll take 30% of your income for the next 10 years.")

Compare this to things where banks could lose money, like mortgages. If you bid $1,000,000 on a property that's worth $200,000, the bank will simply require a down payment of $840,000. They have no interest in your starry-eyed games. If you walk away, they can close out your loan by selling the property at the appraised value, and they're happy. Banks have the right amount of paranoia about lending for this kind of purchase; their goal is to never lose money. Student loans should be no different; current grades and expected job prospects should play heavily into the decision as to whether or not to lend money. This will reduce the cost of education because selling a $600,000 art history degree to straight-C students won't be viable in the market anymore. (Universities will fight hard against this, because the degrees are cheap and everyone pretends they have some value. If people realize degrees don't have much value, the cash cow dries up. But we have to kind of look at the effect on society as a whole and realize that work experience is actually what we value. After the first 4 years of your career, nobody cares about your GPA or where you went to school anymore. And incidentally, 4 years is exactly how long college takes!)
> Worse than just "backed by the federal government," the loans are basically protected by the government.

It is really strange that government does not constrain tuitions of the colleges participating in the loan program. Currently, Universities have no incentives to control costs in any way.
Yes, but your top regret would have been different had you chosen a different path. And perhaps your top regret would be worse than your current.

> every day I wake up dreading going to work

This sounds terrible. But at least you have a job. Many people wake up with dread every day for whether they or their baby will starve to death.

Also, it’s never too late to change.
Pell grants are tiny though.

Really, the current grant system doesn't work.

We should tell the universities they must provide needs-based grants on their own and prohibit using ability to pay during admissions - or they don't receive federal grants. This way they aren't incentivized to continue to bloat costs (as happens now), since now the school is responsible for the costs.
Possible difference is "The Game" actually ends as a warning to those who just see it as a games and doesn't skimp on the emotional turmoil men go through that refuse to stop tying their self-worth with how much they get laid.

Dunno if this book does the same where at the end it does a 180 and shows you how damaging it can be to tie one's self-worth to getting married.

> It's nice that you got rid of all the indirection and all the nearly-pass-through interfaces in your code sample, but how would you test it?

> Are you going to need to dial out to a real, live SQL database to do so? For every test?

Yes. This is actually how we do it. And if you think deeply about it, this allows you to skip seamlessly between unit & integration testing, assuming all of the system components are designed against the same database. The only meaningful difference between unit & integration in this context is how much state you allow to accumulate in the database between invocations. You can reset for each method using a known expected initial state for each, or you can stand up an initial state and fly through an entire playlist of method calls.

If all of your functions take a SqlConnection object as their first argument and you've made sure that 100% of application state resides in the database, what can't be tested in this manner?
Agreed, though i prefer types to solve this - but i imagine what you suggest would even benefit a typed language like Nickel. Really would be a useful inspection tool.

Nix is just a massive blob of difficult to debug code. Really awful experience for me.

And they are also supported by kagi.

I really don't see that as very problematic.

For me, the value of the books is the value they provide to their readers, not the money they provide to the author. We want author to be able to get money because it will incentivize them to write. I don't think it's realistic to think any writer will not write because his work may become famous only after he has published some books and therefore won't be as profitable as some other copyright scenario. That is just not how people think.

I know that some people see copyright as some kind of justice system to ensure creators get their due. I think that view in general leads to copyright maximalism, and is not a good place to start from when discussing the value of copyright

That's not quite true. See for example the existence of the billions of $ of corporate agricultural subsidies, essentially creating an artificial price floor.

The primary reason price ceilings are criticized by "both sides" is because the shifting Overton window has resulted in both the Republican and Democratic parties having quite neoliberal views. In an international context the two sides of the aisle can be described as "right" and "far-right".
Tuition and fees in California's CSU system are still only about $8k per year. The CSU system provides a very good education, in some ways better than the more prestigious UC system because there tends to be more opportunities for direct contact with instructors. In the sciences, there are often more research opportunities and spaces for undergraduate students in labs. It's a real bargain, and you can save even more money by doing your first two years at a community college.

But your feed has to start somewhere, and those defaults are opinionated. The defaults, both tiktok and insta, seem to decide men want to see titties, and they are right enough often enough. Sure, some men might be able to escape those defaults, if they religiously ignore any content they don't like and don't accidentally click on anything or are perfect in their use, but most people aren't.
It runs counter to the pressures a developer faces. I've at times been told that tech debt is fine because products only last 3-4 years before a replacement gets made. When you're on that timeline who cares if you've cleaned up after yourself?
I think another reason for the increase is that it's one of the few industries where they can charge as much as possible. The price is basically determined by:

Student: How much does it cost to attend your school?

University: How much do you have?

The base cost is some ridiculously high value and can be brought down with grants/scholarships/loans, which are needs based.
Which sort of thing? Capitalism? Because the article we're commenting on is about the privatization and the cutting of funding to the systems that are necessary to support the legalization of heroine and cocaine. We have problems with the government privatizing industries everywhere there is capitalism.

Solving drug addiction as a society in the world is possible if the western world had the political capital to do so. But like you said, human psychology is nuts. the thing to look at is Hong Kong back in '97. 1897, that is. It was a British colony in the wake of the Opium wars, for 100 years. The allure of being high on opium was a significant drag on the economy and the Chinese government wasn't putting up with that. While they lost the war, and Hong Kong's current political situation is fraught, a country fighting an enemy, the British, is able to unite in a way that war against concepts like war or poverty can't. (Communism is an exception because there were countries with that system to unite against.

We'll note that opium dens still exist, but not in the same capacity as before, and while China also has its share of drug addicts, they don't have downtown Philly or San Francisco.

So how do we fight it? Well, a war on drugs, but not one fought by men with guns and illegalization and demonization, but one fought by therapists and psychologists, with harm reduction and governmental and societal support. It's a radically different shape of society if the government genuinely cares about its people. You'd have to give everyone housing and feed everybody. and not just a subsistence living but thriving community. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness can't be had without a life worth living, and a life without hope for a better future is not worth living.
According to that chart, by "well above inflation" you mean "<20% above inflation" and by "comparable to the college rates" you mean ">100% above inflation".

Your use of generalizations seems radically inconsistent.

Because it's not clear that short copyright terms are harmful. Modern copyright shouldn't make us lose sight of the goal of promoting "the Progress of Science and useful Arts". 15 years is a reasonable starting point for achieving that aim. If it's still too long it could always be further reduced later.
