Okay, here's a piece with a chart for the last 20K years.

Not sure this helps your argument.

“Futureproofing” feels like a lame answer but when you’re talking about laying cables in the ground it’s a good one. Just imagine a future where we’re streaming 4K 360 degree video for VR headsets or something.

I’m sure all the folks that have had to tear up 100Mbps LAN cables wished there was 1000Mbps cable in there instead.
Difficulties? I thought liquid, so just suck it up? And with "gas station" I meant ships coming by and fetching it, so there is your rocket :D Ok, thinking too much the space trucker way, but isn't water much less of a fuel than hydrogen?
That may be, but it's expensive in my area and their support is legendarily terrible. I had ADSL for 6+ years and it was an absolute shitshow. Near the end, they told me I needed to switch providers because they couldn't fix the problem, which was in the drop cable from the pole to house. I had one tech tell me to have a "tree trimming accident" and just cut the line, as they wouldn't replace it otherwise.

Also, I remember a year or two ago a discussion on reddit and possibly here about customers with HTTPS certificate errors and it was ultimately traced after months to a bad router that was mangling packets. MONTHS.

Most people at AT&T are incompetent and the ones that aren't are hobbled by the ones that are. Just my experience. YMMV.

My scientific programmers with only beginner to intermediate python knowledge struggled with libraries for visualization. I might recommend the python bindings for this to them..
As a counterpoint, I have a hard time coding with other people, it’s like part of my brain spends the whole interaction thinking about what they could be thinking and I usually can’t shut this off. It’s especially aggravated if the person isn’t very familiar to me. For leetcode style interviews that means I basically memorized hundreds of kinds of problems and pattern match to them because thinking deeply while supervised just doesn’t reliably happen for me.

I know mentorship is important and spend quite a bit of time on it everywhere I work, including with pairing. But the costs to many senior people’s productivity are very real and can’t be stated lightly. Remote work has been a godsend, previously I would do my best work behind a closed office door, in the back of a company bus, or after hours at home and it’s like having unlimited access to that zone.

> One company drove me insane with random “Hows it going” messages throughout the day so I just left for another company and let them know why on the way out.

But this is ideal right? Their culture is asking "how's it going" throughout the day and it's not a culture you wanted to be part of so you left.

Asking "how's it going?" throughout the day isn't objectively good or bad – it's just not for everyone.
That’s one way to spit in the face of the customers that built your business. I really wish AMD could support 100% compatibility with CUDA.

A bit out of the loop here - what is the workaround?
By the definition of "work", the grandparent comment is valid and there is no need to adjust the language: (of a machine or system) operate or function, especially properly or effectively.
Testing Tnitter Alternate for Twitter. Write Your Suggestions
I think we are witnessing that animosity right now, and if I understand correctly, it seems to be the result of (allegedly) fraudulent claims that people got excited about, e.g. Ranga Dias.

But I have seen absolutely no evidence that anybody is acting in bad faith here, and so I see no reason to treat this the way we ought to treat fraud.
Vim reasons I'm guessing
Excellent little primer that clearly and simply explains basic networking!
AGPL provisions kick in for services delivered over a network, basically the SaaS models.

With RHEL some of the code may be under the AGPL (I haven't checked if any of the RHEL packages are actually AGPL), but it's not being offered as a service in a way that should trigger AGPL requirements AFAIK.

GPLv3 doesn't contain any provisions that address this as far as I am aware. It was concerned with things like "Tivoization" and embedded software.

None of the terms in those licenses require the things that everybody seems to want them to require: verbatim publishing of exact source code to everyone everywhere that allows "bug for bug" clones of RHEL and/or continuing a business relationship that forces Red Hat to convey the GPL rights for all RHEL releases no matter what a customer does with those rights.

It's not like they are the first ones. Anyone remember GRSecurity, especially after their beef with a person called L. Torvalds? They "pulled a red hat" before it was cool. Would be surprised if they were the first ones.
That depends on how it all crashes. If it was fraud, then yes. But there are ways in which it can crash that would result in more funding to rule out spurious or transient effects that by themselves suggest interesting areas of research.

But yes, the chance of a 'superconductivity winter' is definitely there. What surprises me is how this whole thing has blown up. People that would not be able to tell a copper wire from an aluminum one are talking about superconductors. That really gets me, why the sudden massive interest?

It would not be a normal part of the process for people to be demanding samples just because there was a preprint posted on arxiv. It's a weird situation and they don't owe anyone any of these samples.

They say they want to share samples after they get a peer reviewed paper published. That's not a weird position to be in. If it wasn't for the hype around this, they wouldn't be in this position.

Let the process play out like it normally does, and if none of the replication attempts pan out, they can provide the samples after the peer review. We'll still care about RTAPS even if it takes another year for a sample to be provided.
I don't know why but this comment sort of unveiled to me how much useless hype I had for this topic. Of course you're right, it's just so easy to indeed get this sense of urgency, even though it's not really a good use of time (even for entertainment).
> by the time I will go into retirement, the whole system will be unviable financially and I might get nothing.

What do you mean when you say "financially unviable"? There have been similar concerns raised about the US retirement system, but AFAIK that only means less money coming in than promised going out. The income is predicted to stabilize at ~75% of expenses after the "Baby Boom" generation finishes retiring. At the worst, I'd expect a pension cut rather than a complete collapse to 0.
It's a subdomain of a literal venture capitalist firm; it was arguably enshittified since Day 1.

Less polished in some areas too, though. It's slowly improving over time but for example fine UI/UX details like whitespace usage, control alignment/placement, and typography have always felt a bit… "off" in KDE as well in most software written with Qt, which I think probably boils down to Qt being more likely to be chosen by devs who are more technically inclined than design or UX inclined.

In my opinion GNOME and GTK apps generally get those details more "correct", though GNOME 3 and up goes way overboard on padding. Strip that padding down with a theme and its design is solid though, and Cinnamon, XFCE, and MATE get these right out of the box with no modifications necessary.
I don't get why "that has been the way" is at all a reason.

> you don’t get to choose when you are woken up, or how nice the people are to you when it happens.

No one has a right to have people be nice to them. It is a reasonable question to ask if people, who were adults with rights, have a right to live again - but I think saying "they have no utility therefor they don't" is a disgusting way to look at it.
While that move was bad, it had zero to do with privacy.
For the record the fault lies with the developers who made the page for the game on Steam, not with Steam. You could argue that Steam shouldn't allow this in the first place but cases like these are pretty much the reason that they implemented refunds.
Phase 1: basic safety, some amount of dose-finding. Small number of patients.

Phase 2: does it appear to work as intended, tested in a larger number of people

Phase 3: is it better than alternatives.

Then approval, followed by monitoring of the drug and side effects.

There's also an additional phase of getting insurance to pay for the new drug, which can be the most difficult.

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, or maybe the users on HN have really changed, but having been an HN member for over 10 years now, I cannot recall a time when it was so regularly swamped by people with an almost religious fervor about the topic du jour. Just in the last few months it was third-party reddit apps, and now this. In my eyes, the quality of conversation has degraded markedly with many comments more appropriate for Twitter (how many variations of "We're so back!!" must be posted?).

Of course many people will disagree with me here, but I'd love to see mute functionality added to HN. If there's anything I've learned from Twitter, it's that when a forum gets big enough, proactively moderating your own experience is essential to enjoying it and cut down on the noise.
>Still, deaths mean decreased workforce which is already strained by the military draft.

This imagines a strain on the workforce that never really existed. Industrial countries can and have staffed factories and repair crews with women and the infirm.

>As to Vietnam/Afganistan, withholding moral judgment on their invasion in the first place, from what very little I know about these historical events, the US operations accomplished their military goals there.

Part of their military goals were destruction of the enemy force via sustained bombing campaigns. These goals were never achieved and instead abandoned.
> To be consistent with your first statement, the person making the claims should provide the proof. Do you have proof of this statement?

Do I have proof that thoughts come from the brain? Uh lol excuse me if I don't rush to find sources for that claim
You know, they could use utility tokens as a way to monetize open source software. Have they looked into it?

In order to do that, they would have to use a strong network effect to lock in their audience and make it more costly to fork the whole ecosystem than just keep paying for the utility.

What is the alternative? Everyone who is silently downvoting — I would LOVE to hear a viable alternative.
If you're talking about 25 Gb/s specifically, standards didn't exist until relatively recently (e.g., IEEE Std 802.3ca-2020, 25GS-PON/G.9804), so if you want to handle those speeds you had to go active.

If you were building out in later 2022 or 2023, you have have (more) 25Gb PON parts available. Pre-2021 your options may have been more limited.

Including the popup of how it works is neat! Edit: And I realize now it's also nice marketing - and I think it's tastefully done, too.
Exactly right, which is why I said it's not a loophole. The loophole is who has legal standing in court. The recipient so far has been found to not have standing. So Red Hat can distribute the software, not even tell you about the GPL, and that's that. Unless the original copyright holder wants to sue them. Which in the famous VMware case, at least in Germany IIRC, the bar to prove infringement or derivative work is impossibly high.

So, the GPL is mostly worth nothing.
Probably, yeah. If it's got a fundamentally-different collation, then it's not the same script as the Latin alphabet per se.

However, due to how annoying it is to deal with languages with the same glyphs but a different order ("I don't know where to find things in this translation dictionary!"), languages that share a set of glyphs have tended — ever since democratized access to printing, and dictionaries to create "canonical" orderings — to gravitate toward a shared ordering for the common-denominator subsets of their alphabets.

German, for example, has an alphabet that's like the Latin alphabet but with some "extra" letters — but, however they did it way back when, the German alphabet today "embeds" the Latin alphabet in Latin order at the beginning, and then puts all the extra letters at the end. So German doesn't need another set of Unicode code-points for A-Z; it just needs codepoints for those extra letters.

Typical scam looks more like this: They try to get information from your Medicare card. Then with your info they bill Medicare for $6000 custom back braces while sending you a $30 Chinese generic one (some physician who wittingly or unwittingly accepted a "work from home" job may be signing off on prescriptions for these). Despite Medicare policy, they don't care about collecting any copay from you, they just want to bill Medicare. The elderly person doesn't lose anything but Medicare does obviously. See https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flmd.36... for a particularly advanced formulation of this scheme.

It's incredibly lucrative and has cost this country tens of billions of dollars a year for at least a couple decades. I wish more was done about it.
The rest of 2023 all the way to 2024
It doesn't? unless you mean the unnamed "transport bosses" that used the word "might". The article linked next to it even mentions that the government covers the difference and I don't see anyone pronouncing the end of roads over that issue.

IP protection is driven by $$$ and norms.

Non-S&P500 corporations routinely violate open source licenses a myriad of ways.

If you license something as AGPLv3, Amazon, Microsoft and Google, among other S&P500s, will not integrate it into their service offerings.

Sherlocking happens to everyone big and small. If I work at Microsoft and see AppGet and make WinGet, what can the author do?

Microsoft will pay someone to reimplement X in C#, Google in GoLang, Apple in Swift, etc. etc. These aren't clean room implementations, but this is how they can consume code that is valuable to them.

If you have a speculative meeting with Google about working together, they may engage the quota-driven attorney to patent your work anyway (https://patentpandas.org/stories/company-patented-my-idea).

Let's say you contract to do work for Microsoft as a vendor, but you have "background technologies." That's fine, so you own the copyright to the code. If you make something innovative, your partner at Microsoft - some engineer or PM or whatever - will engage their quota-driven attorney to patent it. So even if contract X says you own the copyright to the code, they lie (by omission) and patent anything interesting anyway.

End users reading HN routinely violate copyright, EULAs, etc. I mean they believe in the rights of the author for AI generated art sometimes, do-not-train robots.txts, and then immediately use a paywall bypass or archive.lol to read an article written by a real human being. They complain about giant corporations violating these GPL provisions and then they go and pirate a video game, a movie, an anime, etc.

What is the cultural norm for stuff you put out there for the public on the Internet? It seems to be, tough cookie! If you purposefully put your stuff on the Internet (as opposed to someone buying something off X and pirating it), you've conceded: "If you have more money than me and if you never want to work with me again, I guess you can do whatever the hell you want."

There's an IP law crisis. We've totally abrogated IP law to capitalism. HN is part of the problem, people talking about laws, contracts, etc. that they themselves were routinely violate from Napster to What.cd, ad blockers, paywall bypassing like Archive.lol, etc. HN users excuse themselves just because the law says one thing, but is unenforceable unless you have a ton of money or something the counterparty has to lose, so you're going to do the norm, you're going to do the thing that you like that makes sense to you.

Nobody forces you to use RHEL or Rocky Linux. You can simply ignore this whole drama in this particular product category. But eventually, the giant corporations will simply copy your code and use it, and even if you have an open and shut case, you won't be able to afford a lawyer, you'll have to go beg. You'll get represented by the Berkman center for free, and you'll still lose. Something's gotta change.
I'm a layman too but I think this distinguishes them from blood cancer, which does not form solid clumps of cancerous mass...

Confrontation seems like the nuclear option so I’d like to avoid that.

In the spirit of incremental improvement, what’s the smallest action that you’d recommend that I can take?
I think Nix is relevant here, because being able to run software across different machines reproducibly is one of its major selling point. I particularly like that it doesn't rely on virtualization or containerization to do that. It's up to the user to decide how to isolate the runtime environment from the host or whether they even should. Alternatively, tools building upon Nix can make that decision for them. Either way, it allows for a more flexible approach when you have to weigh the pros and cons of different isolation strategies. Development environments defined by Nix tend to compose well too, as a result of this design.

for myself (and most) the thought of my wife having sex with anyone but me is horrifying, repugnant and fury-inducing.

So if your idea of a happy long term marriage where we love each other incredibly deeply includes sex outside the marriage (i.e. swinging and similar) I'm going to struggle to see your point that the pair-bonding mechanism hasn't been broken. A totally non-negotiable element of the pair in my book is complete exclusivity.
> albeit more slowly

Yes, that is the entire point.

> we're talking hundreds of years.

So the idea here is that in hundreds of years we will still have developed no way of taking a frozen person and unfreezing them? And then curing whatever ailment killed them? I don't see that as a sure thing at all, one way or the other.
Awesome! I'm basically there too. Honestly I mostly keep Windows just to be able to stay on top of firmware updates (fwupdmgr can't take over the world fast enough!).

Not really in regards to this particular issue. GPLv3 has the same issue in that it only people who receive the binaries are entitled to the source, and 3rd parties technically have no right to demand the source. AGPL is a little broader, but if I don't allow anyone else access to my modified AGPL app, again technically no 3rd parties could demand the source from me.

It'll be interesting to see if there is some new generation of licenses that require derivatives in source form to be publicly available, but enforcement seems almost impossible.

You probably got a different modem, with more channels, that opened up more actual bandwidth for you.
