>there are very few 80/20 type systems out there that just say "Well, that's too hard to deal w/ you can bail out to unsafe code" when the implementation gets too crazy.

This is what I love so much about Objective-C (and superset languages in general, including Typescript). You can play around all you want in ARC world, but drop straight down into C whenever it gets too bloated.
WFH is happiness. I want that. And I want that for my team.
I think your post reflects several misunderstands or false assumptions about the patent system.

First, you misstate the purpose of disclosure. It isn't to become a record of historical inventions, it's to encourage inventors to disclose their innovations, as inventors otherwise would not disclose their inventions. Inventors and their businesses would instead be incentivized to wrap their inventions up in trade secret and never disclose anything at all.

Second, patents don't use convoluted language to hide an obvious process. That's (a) merely facial and a waste of time, (b) contrary to the actual legal goal of patents which is to encompass as much in your patent as possible, while still maintaining its ability to grant. Patentees must actually disclose their invention, in a way that's cognizable to someone skilled in the art, or they simply do not have any benefit from the patent at all.
You got it exactly right. Simply stating a fact is not an attack on anyone. In any scientific inquiry one needs to consider all the similarities and differences in the data. Most notably, if HIV is spread through sexual contact, why was it most prevalent in gay men of a particular lifestyle in a particular place? If it were straight white Amish people that it was attacking, I would say the same thing.

Not that it matters, but my sister is gay and I am going to be in her wedding this October. I have a much more nuanced understanding of homosexuality as my twin falls into this category.
If I understand correctly, this is not a final decision.

It's simply a temporary one. Apple is appealing the lower court's decision to force it to allow alternative payment methods. Epic wanted alternative payment methods allowed now, while Apple appeals.

This is simply the Supreme Court saying alternative payment methods are still on pause until the Supreme Court presumably hears the case and makes what will be the final decision.

The TechCrunch article is a bit clearer on the legal history here:

If you read through the angry Twitter thread it's clear that almost everyone thinks that either a) the site is a pirate site that lets you download books or b) that the site lets you generate works in the style of an author. Neither of which is true of course.

There are a handful (like < 3 people) who seem to understand what the site actually does who were still angry because the creator seems to have pirated the books. I actually don't know about the legality of something like that. Surely providing pirated books is illegal, but IDK if acquiring pirated books actually is.

I think it's clear though that most of the outrage would still be there even if the author had purchased each and every book.

It's a measure (probably the single best one) of the financial resources a company can bring to bear on a problem. The contention upthread was about "price dumping" and "megacorporation tactics", which surely implies that big companies can do bad things to smaller players with their bigger resources. And it turns out that Intel is a small player in this particular field, as it happens. The logic just doesn't work.
Do you think Volkswagen could compromise or secretly own a VPN service?

You're the one making grand claims about the NSA controlling the world. It's a lot easier to argue with claims you made up.
really impressive how you responded to that criticism - listening to feedback and then building out a full product suite. looking forward to try out everything here, particularly branching, because just yesterday i was looking thru the docs recommending staging/dev/prod instances and wondering if there was a better way!
Hmm.

Seems like if everything costs more, and you get paid more, the things the government purchases probably cost more too, so the tax rate should be the same right?
Whatever merits Epic may or may not have the noise in the industry has moved on. App Store discovery is impossible, user acquisition costs too much, and you're going to see increasing consolidation in apps and games with huge user bases as a result.

Of course the existing massive players want their cut increased, but Apple (and Google) would be wiser to try and fix the funnel entry problem before the big guys eventually get their way and deny them their piece of the pie. Epic and Roblox in particular are aiming to be the next platforms taking their own cuts.
The employers will understand sooner or later that they've essentially lost leverage with people like you. Now that you're in a LCOL area, you can explore a lot of different jobs at different places. You don't need to make bay area salary to survive because you're not in the bay area.

Meanwhile startups who could never compete with FANG on pay are eager to swoop up talent at a discount.
Depends on what "workstation" means to you... For some, it literally means AI work, and would suggest a higher end GPU with plenty of VRAM. For others, it may mean really memory heavy work, or high CPU process work. For me, it's the latter, for others it could be the former. YMMV, seriously.
Another one here. We routinely have a $4k monthly credit card statement, but it is paid off religiously every month. I suspect that the data for the story has to have some sort of "balance more than 60 days old" filter applied to it.
Yes, but planet killers can be mind boggling large. The 'dinosaur killer' was estimated to be 72 teratonnes of TNT equivalent. Even if you spread that perfectly evenly over 10 days, that's a 83 MT nuke going off every second.

Or taken another way, the dinosaur killer had an total estimated energy of 300ZJ - 3x10^24J. Total solar energy is 44 quadrillion W (4.4x10^16 J/s). Even spread over 10 days (864000 seconds), that results in an excess 3.5x10^18 J/s.

Which is why I said it depends on what your threshold is. Certainly somewhere between city buster and dinosaur killer lies the tipping point.
In my experience neither of your points is true of a modern heat pump nor a modern gas system. All heating systems are generally optimized to bring homes from 16°C to 22°C in about two to three hours. If your heat pump can't do that it's too small (or your radiators are too small). If your gas system can do it in an hour it runs way too hot and you're wasting a lot of gas.

Sorry to hear about your difficulties getting good answers from support. I will pass along your feedback.

> Even though the worker modifies the contents, the IP is passed through as the end-user IP (at least the way we use them).

That should only be true when your own worker makes a request to your own origin. It should never be true for requests coming from someone else's worker. Again, please file a security report if you found a case where that is happening.
1) Mixed feelings. As an Apple user I really enjoy the consistent flow as a user in purchasing and with recent changes (likely caused by Epic pushing them) to indie dev cuts in the app store I am less worried about Apple over reaching here.

2) I really want to be able to side load on my iPhone easily.

3) I am really tired of hearing about these companies fighting over their mass wealth streams.
> I would be surprised if Nintendo uses any of these aggressively -- do they have a reputation of doing so?

They do have a reputation of suing everyone who "infringes their copyrights". I would assume they would do the same over patents. Hell, there's even one case where they tried to sue themselves.

Anecdotal, but I use 5 credit cards as a convenient form of payment, not as a debt mechanism. I use credit cards primarily for their cash back rewards. For every transaction I make, I try to find a deal in one of the credit cards I already have.
Because it strongly implies that they are looking for people for whom high school experience was recent enough to be relevant to who they are now. For a 20-something this is (debatably) plausible. For a fifty or sixty year old it is at best a tenuous indicator.
> I'm almost certain c suite often work a lot more and have higher demands than junior employees.

Lmao. I'm no where near C-Suite but I've also never worked as hard as I did as an intern/junior engineer. Moving up often means working less hard.

> I don't really see any other way around it apart from a dehumanizing process to treat everyone exactly the same regardless of capabilities

This post is about WFH, not treating everyone the same regardless of capabilities. Those are such different things that I'm convinced you must be arguing in bad faith.
I remember having some goofy message for my voicemail when I was in college. Some recruiter left me a voicemail scolding me for being so unprofessional... finally changed it several years later when I upgraded phones.

The same reason you might want to use an LLM to generate language or a meal plan or anything really: it's interactive and you can customize it arbitrarily on the fly instead of browsing pages of content until something kinda lines up with what you want over and over again.

I guess the cost of doing it precisely isn't terribly high, but if the majority of the flags were "off" (eg, subsets of users being opted into a beta or something), I wonder if you cut a bunch of the queries by sending down a bloom filter.

So basically you check the filter first, and if that says the feature is enabled, only then do you actually ask the real DB.
I work on https://monitoro.co which offers exactly what you're looking for, and is not limited to terms of service.

We also allow you to filter changes for the specific ones that are relevant to your needs, and trigger 3rd party APIs or webhooks with the updated data, or a text diff.

huh .. Seattle University. So the actual paper is a meta-analysis and you can seed the spreadsheet with all the columns:

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

It mixes a ton of different regions ethnic groups, and it's a yes/no binary for "documentation of women hunting" ... I'd be interested in drilling down into the sources for those. Most of the African countries have a yes, and we do see animals like Lions where the female lions do a lot of hunting and the males defend the pride.

Still I have my doubts about the type of hunting for humans. Did women go after both small and big game? How much of the hunting was trapping? It makes sense women would help hunt deer or gazelle, but not necessarily bison or large game.

..so once again, a professor at a Seattle university ... there's going to be bias an motivated reasoning. There just is because that's how bad academia has gotten. Colour me skeptical.

I like that you pointed out the "research posture" in your first image.

A tip from somebody who is not 17: it's good to have many different research postures. Staying in one of them for too long will give you trouble later on. Took me way too long to figure this out.
I think it was the Amazon CEO that said the "office" is great because you can just walk up to someone and ask them questions. Fuck no.
I don't like the way you handwaved my criticism. Complete red herring? I brought up only the first line because it's the most famous part of the poem and it sets the tone for the rest of the book, which – as you pointed out – is more of an adaptation. It might be acceptable for some people, fact remains that the new sentence hardly resembles the original meaning. If meaning can't be our benchmark, then how do we determine the quality of a translation?
I understand "ecosystem/libraries" as code available for free. That a quick search online would convince most of us that it is trustworthy enough. That we hope won't require us to ever have to read, modify, and re-design the code. And if we are lucky has a state of the art abstraction for the domain it solves. So that we can get going with our task at hand as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Under this light, Rust has now quite a large ecosystem of pretty good quality I would say.

I have only written small thread safe system level libraries in Java. But I sure noticed that javac did not have a borrow checker ;)

For webdev I had no problem with Rust async or not. But my definition of webdev is reduced to a web server that calls out to a database or another service.

I think CPU cooling mounts are probably the only thing that's really difficult, and even then, the types of mistakes you're likely to make (namely uneven tension or not enough thermal compound) take some hands on experience to get right.

I've walked 3 different under 21 kids through a build since start of the pandemic... only because my hand/eye coordination for some bits (panel headers, etc) isn't so great combined with low light visibility.

So what mechanism do you think will make them change?
Just nope. That's entirely dehumanizing and a bit degrading. Companies that do this sort of thing are clearly indicating that they hold people in pretty low regard, and so are to be avoided.
Exactly! It's like Musk demanding everyone comes into the office while he is only in the office at individual companies 1 or 2 times a week. CEO of Tesla, a publicly traded company spends all his time in the privately held offices of Twitter. Can other of his company employees work multiple jobs including their own personal company?

If the answer is no then it's 100% a class thing
I was thinking about this idea when the Zoom saga happened, that's an amazingly quick implementation!

My plan for getting a list of subscribed services was to get people to add a forwarder to their email account with specific keywords (i.e "thanks for creating an account" or perhaps just "unsubscribe" would be enough). This would forward to an API which would check for a recognised service and add it to the list to notify. It has some privacy implications but I think you could narrow the scope enough for people to go for it.

The other method I had considered was getting a list of places your SSO is used from Google etc. Not sure if that's possible through their API but I'm sure with enough of the hacker spirit you could work out a way.

If you go for either of those ideas I expect a lifetime VIP account! (Just kidding)
I'm not sure I understand. Is it that you don't want legal regulation to limit them (and similarly, other companies), but rather it were the market to naturally do so?

I'm not sure that's sound economics.

Or perhaps, that you think the government would place limits ineptly?
If I don't remember what thread or channel I saw a message I hit the shortcut keys to get to the search bar and search for the sender using "from:@username".

Yes, realizing that you can't trust the ownership of a company to stay consistent for eternity is basically like thinking your mate is working for the government to steal your passwords.

What investment do you have in people trusting VPN providers that would cause you to make an argument like that? I bet none, it's just a bad instinct.

It's true for protocol version 1 that only the committed data is sent on the replication connection.

In protocol version 2 (introduced in postgres 14) large in-progress transactions can appear in the new "Stream" messages sent on the replication connection: StreamStart, StreamStop, StreamAbort, StreamCommit, etc. In the case of large in-progress transactions uncommitted data might end up in the replication connection after a StreamStart message. But you would also receive a StreamCommit or StreamAbort message to tell you what happened to that transaction.

I've not worked out what qualifies as a "large" transaction though. But it is _possible_ to get uncommitted data in the replication connection, although unlikely.

The big hyperscale datacenter companies either design it themselves or partner with another large semiconductor company to help them design it for their particular needs.

These companies are not interested in selling to small companies that just want 1 to 100 machines. The only company that might is Ampere.

https://www.asacomputers.com/arm-servers.html

Oracle is using the ARM server chip from Ampere but they would be buying tens of thousands or more and getting volume discount pricing. I've heard rumors that Ampere customized their chip for Oracle's needs.

https://www.oracle.com/cloud/compute/arm/

Qualcomm was designing an ARM server chip about 8 years ago but killed the project. Most of those engineers went to Microsoft and now ARM itself.

I've heard stories about Chinese hyperscale datacenters wanting to design their own ARM servers but I haven't heard anything in a while.
> Hardware companies simply don't pay as much as software companies in industry. I don't fully understand the reasons, because hardware is often more difficult to deal with than software.

This is heavily reflected in hardware security. Very few devices are not tire fires, even before IoT took off. My best guess as to why is that many hardware engineers are next to the hardware in Shenzhen and their wages act as an anchor for the rest of the industry. Either that or I've listened to too many bunnie talks and played too much Shenzhen I/O.

Scala is built on an OO/imperative functional foundation, with powerful enough types to build pure FP constructs on top. The problem with tradeoffs is not that the language won't let you, but in the culture: it's hard to get different Scala programmers to agree on tradeoffs when weighing type safety and FP purity against code complexity.
I tried this in cinnamon. But I use multiple desktops and if qalculate is already on another desktop, the experience is pretty bad since it doesn't move to this one (and I do want its 'allow only single process at once' enabled so settings save properly)

User volunteered crash telemetry is better than nothing, but automatic crash telemetry is going to have a more representative sample. A compromise would be to grab just a stack trace and phone model / firmware version etc automatically, and a full dump with user affirmative consent; but if that's not compatible with your privacy stance, asking everybody for everything is reasonable but limiting.

Android has an immense variety of devices. Without a representative sample, you wouldn't know which devices to buy. Regional variants sometimes have a huge difference and sometimes not; this bug seems to be tied to non-US Samsung flagships, which you might not buy if you're US based and don't know what people are using.

From Skepchick: "This study also can’t speak to the frequency of female hunters: “80%” is a binary number, meaning that it only tells us that at some point 80% of these societies showed evidence that yeah, women here actively track, locate, and kill animals for sustenance. It doesn’t mean they did a greater or even equal amount of hunting as men. It only supports what seems to have become a pretty well-accepted fact: many modern hunter-gatherer societies, and probably many ancient ones, don’t or didn’t have strict gender roles that would forbid an able-bodied person from doing whatever they can do to help the health and safety of the larger community.
