I do not buy Martin Tournoij’s argument as it essentially boils down to “no one owns a language” and “there is some prior use that I could find”. Term formation is – as Martin rightfully points out – messy and taking this first-mention approach poorly reflects how consensus around meaning forms among us humans.

My take is (I think) pragmatic. I know for a fact that both OSI and FSF had a desire to delineate terms for their own agendas (both of which have been stated in the open). Both worked hard over decades to explore the implications of their definitions and we as a society also worked with them to form some kind of consensus of what these terms mean. Heck, it is not like Free Software is not problematic as a term due to the ambiguity (and prior usage…) of the word free and FSF has discussed this at great length. Likewise, Open Source is of course flawed as a term in its own way, but it is not useful to start muddying the waters around the term at this point as there is a consensus in place that allows us to have a discussion about Open Source and its flaws to begin with.

The Ethical Source movement for example object to both Open Source and Free Software licenses, while still adhering to freely sharing code. Great! I happen to disagree with them, but I think their reasoning is fine and they decided to invent their own (obviously faulty in some ways) term to delineate themselves from those they disagree with. Similarly, I wish this anti-corporate, source-available, whatever proto-movement that keeps popping up would get together, write a manifesto, and come up with a name rather than dive into discussions such as this and try to somehow argue that when the great majority of us used Open Source as a term for the last twenty or so years what we actually had in mind included licenses which restricted fields of use and discriminated against persons and/or groups. Sorry, I do not buy that, not even for a second.

As something mildly tangential. I find it confusing that members of this proto-movement seems to both support venture capital-fueled start-ups such as Hugging Face and at the same time frequently uses Marxist-esque terms. Heck, I have also seen attacks on Open Source authors from people using alt-right terms. Maybe there is more than one new movement out there? Regardless, I look forward to seeing what term they end up using and reading their reasoning and definition when they finally stop arguing semantics.

So many people. Look no further than the activists who are continuing to protest against Cop City in Atlanta despite the fact that the cops have already murdered one person [1] and arrested many more on trumped up charges [2].

Leah Rowe. Yes. There is always some kind of drama surrounding her, most of it started by her.
Of course the government is going to enforce only a fraction of the offenses it creates. This is nearly always the case, and is mostly irrelevant to a law's actual effectiveness. That is derived from a combination of targeting the highest-profile offenders and the law acting as a press release as to the government's enforcement priorities.

Like, imagine you're running a team developing an end-to-end encrypted application in Britain, and you're seeking funding. The potential investors are going to ask what your plan is to not get owned by this bill, you won't have a good answer outside of "hope they don't notice us", and they won't invest. This happens merely because the British government publicized the Online Safety Bill, and exactly zero enforcement effort was required to stifle the funding, development, and subsequent use of this hypothetical application.

Anyhow, the short of my point is that government laws have a ton of power to shape behavior outside of prosecuting people, and sensible risk-management shapes the behavior of non-government bureaucrats and decisionmakers.
Redis is great, it's a great piece of software. One way I shot myself in the foot (kinda) with it: used it with a 1:N query fanout pattern. I.e., issued N queries to Redis for 1 incoming query to my service. My service by design needs to do N queries (it's a long story). But Redis is not really designed to be used like this and I was putting it under very high load. I swapped it out with an SQLite cache recently and got rid of the errors that would pop up from putting extreme stress on the Redis server.
Completely pointless drama, but there is a real issue here in that people (phoronix) mistook the unofficial one for the real one (https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Boot-20230717). This is their way of interjecting.

Over time these wear out which is why its much better to have the phone side have simple static contact surfaces and the spring loaded contacts on the cable side which is much cheaper to replace.

This piece is not about the vast majority of high school debate and is probably going to create some real headaches for people just trying to run an after-school activity.

All of the statistics in this piece are about the "Tournament of Champions". As its name implies, the Tournament of Champions is an invite-only tournament. In order to get an invitation, students need to do very well at several elite tournaments that make up a "national circuit". As the name of the circuit implies, doing well at these tournaments typically requires traveling long distances throughout the year or living in places with a large concentration of "national circuit" tournaments (ie, coasts and huge cities).

Almost all high school debaters compete close to home in regional or local circuits. "Kritiks" are far less common on these circuits, usually ineffective, and almost always used because some kid is excited about them for one reason or another.

In 15 years of judging I've judged maybe a half dozen rounds in local tournaments where an actual kritik was read, despite being one of the few judges who would be at all receptive (I don't have strong feelings either way; I just want the kids to be able to exercise their brains and explore their interests).

These facts are going to have to be explained to some irate school board member who read this piece. The explanation will come from some stressed and over-worked coach/volunteer in order to make sure their rural midwestern debate program doesn't get cut or micro-managed out of existence.

Anyways, I'll let the Harvard kids carry on with their elite infighting about how there's too much critical theory at the invite-only championship of a largely inaccessible national circuit.
If you’re on macOS on Apple Silicon, try the Element X iOS app. Am hoping that we will end up with a proper native macOS port in the end, which should stop the Electron complaints dead.
I sorta kind of agree with where the author is going, but I think that’s because I know Go and this works quite well in that language. But if I pretended to not know Go, this doesn’t make too much sense on its own, in an arbitrary context.

Even in Go, there isn’t such a strong correlation with interface size and “abstraction strength”. For instance, io.Reader and io.ReadWriteCloser are subjectively similar in terms of “strength”, it just depends on what you’re building. One of the “strongest” abstractions is net.Conn which has 8 methods, which is a lot. In fact, http.ResponseWriter was too small and an ongoing annoyance for years. Only recently was this flaw addressed with http.ResponseController.

Instead, I suspect that Go interfaces are powerful mostly because everyone and their grandma uses the same interfaces, thanks to (1) a std lib with opinionated interface definitions and (2) that the language itself is very focused on “one way” of representing things (no function coloring, for instance). This allows for eg a vast ecosystem of http middleware, that isn’t tied to a specific http server.

Indeed, whenever you venture outside of std interfaces, their appeal really starts waning. They’re fine, but the being seamlessly interoperable within the larger ecosystem is, in my view, where the magic is.

It has been like this for at least a decade; Policy debaters were all about far left kritikal debates when I was in high school. LD and PF were normal but policy was super left wing.

Anyways, high school debate is a stupid activity and I don't recommend anyone do it. It teaches no useful hard or soft skills, only encourages talking extremely quickly to win on rule technicalities rather than the weight of your arguments and speaking ability
Agree most are crap. But they are getting better. With the ramp up of embeddings, the data they have access to is more useful and with LLMs they can provide you with plain English answers that are customized for you. Good example: look at what the Supabase docs can do. Not a chat bot but demonstrates the capabilities.

Broadly, it just seems weird that this appears to be such a difficult problem TODAY.

As in "Just tell the AI what code you want to write and the language and it will just magically do it for you" is like, sure, no problem, but we absolutely draw the line at "Use proportional fonts to make the code read nice on a page" because thats WAY TOO HARD

* learning Japanese

* building an arcade cabinet in my basement (I'm a software developer, very little experience with wood working and other hardware stuff)

* waking up in the morning and being excited for the day

I don't know about building an arcade cabinet, but all of these other things are both more fun and more efficient with alcohol. All of the Japanese I have learnt has been due to alcohol. You also are more daring when drunk, so you'll push yourself harder when learning skateboarding.

Sounds like the things that are "not fun" were pointless activities in the first place and you're blaming alcohol for having chosen yourself to waste your time.i

It's supposedly been replicated twice already. Specifically, getting almost zero resistance at temperatures below 97°C (slightly lower than the original paper).

I've seen posts from half a dozen labs that will have their own samples finished this coming week.

No amount of drama matters. It's possible the drama is a result of rushing for credit by people who know they've discovered the real thing.

Oddly enough the OG Critical Race Theory that originated in law schools about the globe decades ago addresses systemic inequality issues fairly directly.

"You remember how one of the Greek Dictators (they called them “tyrants” then) sent an envoy to another Dictator to ask his advice about the principles of government.

The second Dictator led the envoy into a field of grain, and there he snicked off with his cane the top of every stalk that rose an inch or so above the general level. The moral was plain. Allow no preeminence among your subjects. Let no man live who is wiser or better or more famous or even handsomer than the mass. Cut them all down to a level: all slaves, all ciphers, all nobodies. All equals.

Thus Tyrants could practise, in a sense, “democracy.” But now “democracy” can do the same work without any tyranny other than her own. No one need now go through the field with a cane. The little stalks will now of themselves bite the tops off the big ones.

The big ones are beginning to bite off their own in their desire to Be Like Stalks."

I mostly blame the CPU manufacturers. There just aren't great, competitive options at price points that support good low end tablets.

At the higher end, things like the Pixel tablet and Galaxy Tab are pretty good, but IMO they are hard to justify vs the ipad at the same price point.
There’s an episode of Seinfeld in which Kramer’s apartment is illuminated by a neon sign on a new restaurant opposite. I always thought this was a bit silly; clearly no-one would ever get permission, in a large city, to light up a residential building with an advertising sign, and no-one would do it without planning permission because they would be made to remove it.

Anyway, apparently I was wrong and some people will absolutely try this.

In a nutshell, the patent describes hydrocarbon wetted graphene with regular holes punched through it as a type II superconductor.

Apparently Lockheed Martin patented, and can produce, the perforated graphene for water filtration, and the holes let the magnetic field lines escape without compromising the effective superconductivity of a wire.

...Yes, the word blockchain singularly and immediately increased my skepticism, as if any mention of graphene didn't already. But for what its worth, their website advertises some kind of communication app with quantum resistant encryption, not a cryptocurrency.

The Linux foundation is not equal to Linux. The entire point of the Linux foundation is to interface with the rest of the world's beuracracies, corporations included. Anyone can be represented by putting in the work and putting up the cash.

Ultimately corporate garbage rarely leaks into the kernel proper. Most of the filth is off in driver land, which isn't even that bad given it's always going to be a vendor landfill.
The trouble is that it ignores the very thing that debate is trying to teach: the ability to sympathize with, understand, and argue for a position even if you don’t agree with it. It is meant to encourage a greater understanding of the world through different perspectives.

Less developed children are challenging to the system, but it gets worse: there are children who are so violent that they essentially attend prison schools. Since this is CA, they are obviously not called that. Pretty sure that this is a massive drain on the educational budget.
> It does line up nicely with my theory that a huge portion of the population enjoys feeling superior to others based on an off-the-rack set of identity politics masquerading as ethics, which hasn't changed much from the religiosity that preceded it.

Worrying about that makes you a victim of the same fallacy.

You don't need to point out a vaguely defined group as bad or wrong. The same way "they" do it to look down on "you", that statement is "you" looking down on "them".

In both cases, it's a moot observation.

Gee I hope you don't have that. The thing I feel the most sorry for with my friend who's stage 3 is that he can't smoke pot or eat a decent meal. I enjoy weed - it's a go-to when I want to stop drinking, smoke less and sleep better. I'm also emetophobic as hell, and I've been scared of ever developing a reaction to it, so I smoke it sparingly.

My friend who had terrible eating habits before (fried fish and chips daily) has discovered making his own pot edibles and the enjoyment of growing his own arugula salads. I think we work with what we've got, and we've got less to work with as we get older. There's no contradiction between wanting to live and wanting to enjoy life. Wanting to smoke or not caring if I live past 60 isn't a death wish - it's an affirmation to myself that I'm alive in the moment and not living in fear of age or death.
It doesn't really fit into that setup. When given an article 15, you can demand a trial by court-martial, so it doesn't really have a parallel in the civilian job market. It's usually kinda like house-arrest. So maybe think of it as some combination of a demotion, a fine, and a couple weeks in jail.
ZBiotics is a really exciting biotech startup that makes a GMO probiotic that digests Acetaldehyde, a byproduct of alcohol consumption that is a large part of hangovers. Personally think they reduce the effect of drinking by about 40%.

They could block Snowflakes with IPs from networks in unsafe countries, but that is trivially bypassed by the attacker just buying VPSs (or botnet nodes) in a freer country.

Skimming the Technical Overview[0], I don't see anything about mitigating the risks you mention.

The purpose of Snowflake seems to be to circumvent blocking of Tor, not to prevent detection of using Tor. It takes advantage of "Domain Fronting" and WebRTC to accomplish this.

Hollywood studios are not startups, and residuals are not like startup equity. Writers and actors are not hoping for some BigCo to come along and buy the Hollywood studios, or for the studios to go public, leading to a massive single payday. The studios are the BigCos, and they're already public. Residuals are more analogous to BigCo stock than to startup equity.
