A big step backwards for what? I can hail a cab, watch shows, all sorts of things on-the-go.

If you’re claiming it’s a big step back for productivity, I’d argue that phones and tablets are devices of consumption, few things of worth are produced on a phone or tablet.
That's included in the 5% number btw. AC transformers are incredibly efficient.
My issue was that I want it to backup settings and contacts but not photos, it would then backup photos, using all the space and then I'd need to pay, it was difficult to undo that.

many people misunderstand melatonin, it isn't a sleeping pill, it's a tool for adjusting your circadian rhythm, taking it before a nap is crazy
I did this too. Someone had told me at one point the best thing to do to ingest it is to crush it somehow and keep it under your tongue for 30 seconds. And I also knew I wanted very small amounts of the pills I had. So I would take the tiniest nibbles of the chalky pills and leave them in my mouth for a while, until I could feel the effects slightly come on. Grew weirdly fond of the taste.
It sound like RedHat has migrated back to a “purchase” model then. You pay once, get your software and do with it as you please and then they ask you kindly to not pay again, kind of like the old days. Sounds good to me.

As long as one subscriber is willing to leave their contract per release, downstream derivatives should have no end of supply for each release. This may not help with patches, but many of those would come from third parties to begin with.

I've been doing the "goodreads challenge" since 2018 -- really I just use goodreads to keep track of books I've read, so the site is an adjunct to an activity I'd probably do anyway. I read 20-30 books a year and it's a sobering thought that the number of books I'll get to with the rest of my life is probably less than a thousand.

The toxic gamification is probably where booktok or goodreads become the primary activity and book reading is what you do to achieve goals on those sites. I guess I never had to deal with that since I'm middle aged and these sites weren't around when I was a teenager.
It probably took a nap? I'm not sure about raccoon biology but in humans melatonin is one of the least hazardous things. I'm not sure you can overdose on it practically speaking

I hate that term and concept "jump on a call". I often find that people don't prepare enough before the call, which defeats the purpose of the call.

> The GPL is very clear that the software does not come with a warranty or any guarantees of fitness for any purpose.

It does include a general warranty disclaimer, of course, in many jurisdictions, sone or all of the warranties that would exist without an explicit affirmative warranty offer also can't be negated with a disclaimer, so this may mean less than a naive reader would assume, being unnecessary where the law wouldn’t impose a warranty, and ineffective where it would.

The funny thing is is that this is part of TDD (and extreme programming) that most detractors of TDD don't understand. I'm talking about the old "but if I don't know what I'm writing, how do I write a test first?" crowd. Well, the answer is this article. Write a quick prototype to answer unknowns, figure out a general plan, then throw it away and start with a single test. I emphasize "single" because there was that other article that made the front page a couple of months ago where the author described their "new found way" of doing TDD that made them actually enjoy it and then went on to describe regular plain ol' TDD.

As someone who's written at least as much code in dynamically typed languages (Lisp, Clojure, Python) as static, I find this question interesting because I really don't know how we know what types to pass. I think a big part is naming and following conventions. But honestly, somehow, I don't think I've ever had problems figuring out or passing the wrong types to anything.

Go for it. I'd vote for such a law (or more accurately, consider voting for a representative who supported such a law), depending on the specifics.
In most forests in the New England and New York State areas that I am familiar with, it's actually nearly impossible to find healthy beech trees, and has been for decades. Beech bark disease kills mature trees over a period of years, and what's left is either smaller trees with significant scarring or thickets of sprouts (which we used to call "beech hell" since they are super annoying to traverse when doing field work). There are some beech bark disease resistant individuals and populations, as well as some isolated patches of forest where there are healthy beeches (and they are... magnificent). I haven't really kept up with the literature on beech leaf disease, but it leaves me wondering if this will potentially fully remove the unhealthy beeches. It would be interesting, in the long-term (is there a long term anymore?), if there are doubly-resistant individuals and if someday they may once again make beech a major forest component.

It's hard to watch beloved tree species disappear. It's very hard. I love these forests so much. But something I have seen time and time again -- is that life is resilient, and it's not like a barren wasteland takes over (at least here). I try to think what amazing solutions life will cook up next.

My background: I studied beech bark disease in Eastern NA forests back in the early 2000s, mostly working on modeling populations and the evolution of resistance.
The naming scheme I use is file path, then lexical scope within the given file, finally the name of the local function. This forces uniqueness. I use underscores between word groups and then camel case in each word group to prevent single word artificial restrictions without harming the convention or general legibility.
Not sure if this would work for you, but I tend to have ad-hoc, 1on1 video calls with people.

If you are not doing deep work, it's no biggie.

I also would schedule 1on1 meetings to 'catch-up' (not too many of them, but ...)

Don't get me wrong, meeting some of these people in person is great, but I have several great relationships at work where we've never met in person
I had much better results with tryptophan than melatonin in sleep quality.

Taking melatonin for me resulted in top many random grogginess or waking early in the middle of nights.

If I thought it was pedantic, I wouldn't have said it :)

I think there's an important difference between "highly unlikely" and "black swan" — winning the lottery is the former, for any given number choices.

Waking up one day to the news that cow moos have been translated into English, they had an average IQ all along, and therefore all beef and dairy products are banned worldwide… would be the latter — it's not physically impossible given what (little) we know, but there's also absolutely no reason to suspect it a priori (unless you're vegan or Hindu, or…)
It's not pedantic, it's literally the point of the book Black Swan from which the term derives.

Well, the climate doesn't really know how much pollution per/person is being emitted, it's all about the aggregate.
My understanding is that melatonin is useful for adjusting one’s internal clock. As an example, if you were to change time zones you could use it to more quickly adjust to a new bed time.

That’s how I try to use it now, only when I want to adjust what time I get sleepy. For the same reason, I only take it for one or two nights. It doesn’t make sense to take it continuously to me.
Asking "how it's going?" without following up about a specific task is objectively bad.
We lost seven beeches - most of the big trees in our front yard - to beech leaf disease. Talked to one guy who pointed out that there is a treatment, but it's experimental and it's not even clear it works. $2000 per tree per two years for a "maybe" was just too much. Plus, the longer we kept the trees, the more likely it would become that the culprit nematode would spread to other trees in our back yard or our neighbors'. Very sad, but the silver lining is that we're now a better candidate for solar.
This is really cool, I loved reading about your viral app story. Inquistory seems like a promising idea!
China is rue(ing?) right now. China's local governments are dealing with a monumental local debt crisis from real estate fallout, and incidentally from too many built out unused rails and highways. And the center government has already said they are not going to rescue the local and provincial governments, "prefers local or provincial governments to sort out their own debt problems, and not create a moral hazard"

As a result, the civil servants in China are seeing 25-50% paycut.
I decided I wanted to generate artisanal hand-made paperclips, with no automation. Click, click, click. I got up to about 8,000 clips as things got more and more tedious. Than I stopped.

Then I tried again, with a Javascript console timer 'clicking' 10 times per second. Let it go overnight. Got to 200,000 clips or somesuch and ... it was again boring.

Use the same timer technique on the quantum computer to get the stock market. Didn't see why I cared to make more money on the market since apparently all I could spend it on was marketing.

Messed up with a timer on the quantum computer, ended up with -87,554 operations and growing (shrinking?). That was enough. The "quantum temporal reversal" at -10,000 operations is a nice touch, but with "revert to the beginning" and a screwed up timer I gave up.

So, the way to not get addicted is to deliberately play it wrong. ;)
Meh, I don't think this is an intrinsic quality of working in the same space. Sometimes it is, if you're very lucky, but my experience in offices was mostly wasteful interactions with people who weren't satisfied with me checking my messages periodically instead of instantly.
I think sometimes it's a good idea to use a language the company doesn't use internally to prototype. Like we don't use python or node in production, but a lot of stuff can be POCed in those languages/frameworks without a learning curve.

It forces you to throw out the old code and forces you to think the problem out in different ways.

Also, in my experience the POC does enough that it turns into just use POC because of the illusion that it would be faster to use than to rewrite. Then it's a span of time fighting edge cases and added features thought of afterwords till it passes all testing. Then you have a battle tested piece of code you can't get rid of, difficult to understand, and ridged for changes.
This idea isn't new. Does nobody remember Sveasoft? They tried this with regards to alternative WRT54G firmware, back when that was a thing. They ended up failing in the market, to the point that seemingly nobody even remembers the attempt.

Redhat seems to be betting on their size for their staying power. But that size also means there is much more demand for third parties to route around their attempt at creating an inefficient market speedbump. For example, that proposed solution of subscribing to Redhat through a cloud provider, then distributing the source code seems quite straightforward. If they tighten up on that, it would only seem to take a handful of small subscribers comparing the source code they receive to make sure there is no steganographic watermark, and then distributing source through an unrelated entity without fear of reprisal.

I'm sure they will succeed at creating some level of speed bump for companies that want things to just work, but I'd say that ultimately this is just going to lead to another cycle of users moving to the new libre thing, and then Redhat needing to pay to reacquire those customers later.
I can't find any info in the article but that seems like.. a lot of H100s.

>You would have to argue that support of the GPL was a religious belief to gain such protections.

Under the current law I don't think there is a path to allow this. I'm suggesting a new law. The reason for the new law would be to close a loophole which lets megacorporations skip having to follow contracts (or even laws, as there is a similar problem there).

Yeah, I find that the desire to rewrite often comes from the final (working) solution having poor code ergonomics. It's not necessarily that it's wrong, it's that it's awkward or clumsy to understand/use, because my mental model of how it worked didn't take into account the actual practical day to day usage of the code.

Yes, but that's no different with IPv4. What it really means is that we have to learn the intricacies of IPv6 in order to use it confidently. Right now, I am nowhere near comfortable that I have sufficient understanding. That can be fixed through enough study, but is also part of the friction in adopting IPv6.

It doesn't. And this "loophole" is old.

This is effectively what RedHat just did.

I can only imagine all the typical ones like lambda, AWS, openai, apple, <insert large tech company here> are buying even more?

EDIT: Wait if the collateral is for a 2.3B USD loan - how many cards do they have?!

As mentioned in the article, there's also studies where it may improve things. This particular one is a mouse model with induced DSS colitis, which I kind of wish would be erased from methodology forever across literature.

Not only is it mice rather than humans, but it is focused on replicating the end symptoms without mirroring the underlying causes.

For example, what if IBD/Crohn's had to do with decreased gut melatonin production, leading to bacterial changes in the gut leading to autoimmune attacks leading to gut inflammation/ulcerations? Without replicating the casual factors, simply inducing ulcerations using a chemical agent without also replicating the autoimmune attack isn't very helpful.

And anecdotally, my own disease is in complete remission with a surprisingly light medical treatment particularly after comparing dietary interventions inducing remission in two meta-analyses and finding the one key shared factor was reduction in processed sugars and introducing the same in my own diet.

But that's with me taking 20mg of melatonin for a sleep disorder. And when my sleep is disturbed too much (as occurs if I don't have the melatonin to use), the resulting physical stress can sometimes induce small flares.

In my own experience and in having looked at studies looking at melatonin use in human IBD patients, I'm fairly skeptical of the findings in the DSS mouse study are enough that anyone with sleep issues helped by melatonin should avoid it.

Especially given there's a 2-fold increase in risk of disease activity in humans with poor sleep:

After some googling, it looks like M1 (and I guess M2) Macs don't always expose HiDPI options for 3rd party displays. That sucks. WTF is Apple doing? I'm not sure if there are workarounds or what. I will research this before buying an Apple Silicon based Mac, that's for sure.

I have a Intel Mac (latest MacOS) and have never experienced this problem with a variety of 3rd party monitors over the years. So I didn't even realize this was an issue.

Additionally, I forgot that subpixel rendering is disabled by default. You can enable it with `defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool NO` but I forgot that was a required step.
Not even that. Melatonin works best as a sleep aid in small doses. Larger one have less effect.
