As above. Since when is Docker making lots of money?
If the compiler doesn't optimize the if(cmp(...)) first += length + rem; perhaps a sign operation could be used when cmp returns a number. Something along the lines of:

first += (length + rem) * ((sign(cmp(...)) + 1) / 2)

Has anyone tried that? DDG isn't very helpful.
Love this quote I'm stealing it.

The older I get the more I see this stuff all around me.

For some reason lately I've been hearing INXS songs everywhere, like 7 or 8 on satellite radio in just a few days. Followed by the same songs in a few bars we frequented. So much so that my GF noticed it as well.

After the 7th or 8th time of pointing out it's another INXS song, my immediate thought was "This can't be coincidence. Who the heck is promoting INXS right now, and why?"

As you said, the message was definitely meant for, and received by, us.

I don't like not knowing why, because in the absence of data the mind will make up narratives to fit the data.

Maybe INXS is being promoted. Maybe I'm just becoming paranoid. Then again, being paranoid doesn't make you wrong.

I guess the point is it's hard to take anything in the media at face value these days.
I'm pretty sure this claim is wrong:

> Beyond Terraform 1.5.5, direct HashiCorp competitors will be unable to incorporate the source code or embed or distribute newer versions of Terraform.

You can integrate Terraform, you just need a commercial license....
I always wondered: is there actual study about this?

There is people arguing both ways with relatively good arguments, but what about quantifiable realities? As the author of GPL-licensed softwares, I didn't have much reasons to go that way or another, apart from hunch. Can we quantify those effects, so that we can properly align our licenses with the effect we want?
When you choose to continue using the browser from the "objectively evil" company, helping them continue to push those objectively evil goals, because "firefox showed me A ad", because for some reason that is more screwing over your users than literally fucking the open internet....

It's astounding how far people bend over backwards just to not change browsers for the good of the internet as a whole.

Social media fracturing relationships.

This hurts on a personal level (families, friendships). More importantly, what is the effect on society when we can't listen to each other?

Our contempt for each other has increased civil strife and violence, and we simply can't tackle large problems. Think about COVID-19, where political issues have prevented us from even agreeing on the cause of this plague - to say nothing of preventing the next one. And now imagine coordinating to prevent possible AI catastrophe.

We don't need to all think alike. But we better repair civil discourse if we're going to address any other problems.

Descript is an excellent "podcast editing" tool, but is not a "podcast creation" / text-to-speech first platform.

It offers "Overdub", but they suggest limited use of it (replacing 1-2 words), not full podcast creation. The quality of the text-to-speech model they use is not at the same level as the ElevenLabs model we are using, so I think someone would struggle to create an engaging podcast using Overdub. I'd also think that this is not a direction that Descript would be heading to, as they have built a successful business as a "podcast editing" platform and catering to "podcast creation" would be a significant change.

In addition to this, given that we are a "podcast creation" platform rather a "podcast editing" platform, we have focused on integrating functionality that allows users to go end to end in creating a podcasts. Examples: publishing a podcast (RSS), generating a video automatically, providing a shareable podcast page, autotranslating the podcast to other languages and a lot more.
IANAL but probably Hashicorp has some trademark over "Terraform" in this context. I don't know if it's 100% safe for you to call it "Open Terraform".

I think appropriating code against the license would be a license violation. Whether it's a bug or a feature doesn't really make any difference. If it's not licensed for copying, then you can't copy it. You can't re-license it without permission.

That's why they are saying it's not an "open source" license anymore – because it's not. Source available means just that. You can read it (say for the purpose of figuring out some annoying bug so you can contribute the fix upstream) and you can probably build and run it, so long as your use is according to the terms granted in the license. But you can't redistribute it, any copy you take probably isn't yours, and it's only usable according to the terms of the license.

It's kind of amazing how many of these accidents can come down to the pilots forgetting the most basic things.

In this case, ultimately, the pilot and the co-pilot were exerting opposite controls. One to pull up, one to push the nose down. In a stall you push the nose down to gain aerodynamic lift. That's like Flying 101. But I guess when you panic, the natural instinct of wanting to pull up kicks in when you're rapidly losing altitude. Still, training?

I saw another one the other day: Ethiopian Air Flight 961 [1] from 1996. This accidently ultimately came down to a single switch being on: manual cabin pressurization. This was on because a pilot reported an error in a previous flight and maintenance were trying to replicate it. The pilots (and passengers) passed out from hypoxia and didn't put on their oxygen masks. Again, not putting on your mask? Pretty basic. Also, Flying 101. If you lose (or don't have) pressurization, drop your altitutde. You get below 8000 feet and you're fine.

There was an error but it wasn't ignored and it wasn't entirely obvious, causing revisions to be made. Also, hypoxia can impair judgement very quickly. But why keep climbing when something is wrong?

A lot of us were really immature, just-hammer-something-out coders in high school, maybe in college. Then we got a job, and now we had to be professional. So we went too far the other way, trying to be how we thought we were supposed to be, but without really knowing how yet.

(Shout out to Don Martini, who helped me more than he knew in my first job, as I was trying to grow into a professional programmer. Ditto Steve Hanka, who helped me in the same way on my second job. If either of you see this, thanks!)
> what should be their core mission of protecting the web by making the best browser they possibly can

In your opinion. I disagree. They could spend a billion dollars on making the best browser the world has ever seen and it would still be used by next to no-one. People use the browser they're given, especially in the smartphone era we're in now. Android users use Chrome. iOS users use Safari, Mozilla isn't even allowed to make a real version of Firefox for iOS.

So they've clearly decided to expand their mission to protect the web. Ensuring AI is used ethically strikes me as relevant to the topic, a little too much like chasing buzzwords to my taste but it's clearly an area of current interest. And hey, maybe a few more people will learn about the Mozilla brand and consider converting to Firefox some day.
That's correct. Ubuntu branched off of Debian at a certain point.
The Pentium Pro is by far the CPU I remember being the most surprised about, and I was an engineer at Intel when it was released. Such an amazing design and manufacturing technique, and 200Mhz with 256 or 512k L2 cache! That seemed like such a huge cache at the time. Performance on video codecs with some tweaks was a 2x jump as well. Funny enough I still have a working Pentium Pro 200 system. good times!

>As someone who is not American, a court with judges, appointed by an undemocratic, lost-by-popular-vote twice-impeached former president,

In the USA, Supreme Court judges are nominated by a president (who was elected by through a process of representative democracy), but confirmed (closest to appointed) by a democratically elected Senate.

>making rulings that are at odds with many polls out there

The majority of SCOTUS rulings are bipartisan and non-controversial, but let's say we ignore those and focus narrowly on the ones with some controversy around them.
The New York Times[0], a left-leaning and anti-Trump institution has identified 12 cases over this past year as "major decisions" and has compiled a page where you can see how the court ruled, and how the public polled. If you read it, you'll see that the Supreme Court diverged from public opinion on only 2 of those 12 cases.

[0] https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/06/07/us/major-supr...

Furthermore, the underlying premise that the Supreme Court should be bound by public opinion is democratic only in the most literal sense and would quickly lead to tyranny of the majority.

So I guess I stand with OP - the fact that you, a "non-American" are convinced that what you wrote are "facts" is soft evidence of there being a deliberate effort to undermine faith in the legal system.
Don’t think it’s targeted at Vault. Vault has APIs so in the enterprise, you can self host and a vendor can manage vault through the APIs. Terraform specifically is built CLI only in the OSS so you have to repackage the underlying binary and hence are subject to the license as a vendor.
I would give my little toe to see what this person's opinion is on CCS/CCMS (Component Content Systems)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_content_management_s...

There's quite a bit more to be written here about natural language, formal language, and how constituents of each class interact with each other. Stuff that the initial architects of "component content" were not necessarily thinking about, because they were coming at the problem from an extremely limited corpus.
It's not beyond human understanding. Unless you mean that one must know everything from every research paper released. At its core you are just finding a well performing model using gradient descent. Gradient descent is not beyond human understanding.
But Catholics have a 6-3 majority on the Supreme court. So perhaps fish isn't meat after all. I was raised to believe in a separation of church and state, and while I still hold dearly to that promise of the first amendment, latter day rulings have convinced me that the constitution is irrelevant when it gets in the way of a unipolar supreme court.
supabase dev here...

this was a very fun load test to run. happy to answer any questions.

shoutout to José Valim and the Dashbit team for the help on Supavisor. elixir and erlang are amazing tools.

connection limits, even with pgbouncer, have been a big support burden for us. supavisor should let us be more liberal with connections we allot to folks.

supavisor is rolled out and available for all projects to use today. contact support[0] and we can expose the supavisor connection string in your dashboard. we'll be proactively exposing it to everyone gradually over the next ~1 month. we'll run pgbouncer and supavisor both for you for probably ~5 months before you need to switch to supavisor.

also very excited at the potential features a custom postgres proxy can unlock.

I definitely underestimate them because in my last 7 roles I haven't used either. I don't know how far back 'modern' goes, but 3 roles were over the last 24 months (just started a new role) and none of those roles the companies used consul or vault to manage anything.
If you make modifications, and deploy them in a way accessible to a given user, the changes must be made available to that user.

I fail to see what is unrealistic about that, or indeed user-unfriendly, unless you consider the user to be the developer and not the person on the other end of the wire.

What do you mean by BPD? If it's bipolar disorder, can you expand on this? Most of these factors (except income) apply to me, and I wouldn't say I'm mostly cured. I'm much better than I was a few years ago, but I still suffer greatly from it.

None of this happens in isolation. The people who have no children don't hide in their basements... they're out there in public, teaching the children of others how awesome it is to be childless. Or, if I'm less hyperbolic, being the wrong sort of role model.

If they convert children more quickly than others can have them, then this still goes downhill. How do you even model that? Is it fertility rate - conversion rate = 2.1?

I suspect that conversion rate to be significant. I'd be shocked if it's not closing in on 1.0 (or already blown past it).

We can do a gutcheck mental exercise here. The Duggars have 20ish children. Will they reach 400 grandchildren, or even come close?
Not sure I qualify as 'high quality talent'....but I have rarely read an engineering blog where I didn't think, "It would be fun to work there."

To be fair, if the culture is disfunctional I'm not sure that anybody is blogging about it, and I doubt they pick dumb mistakes and bugs to blog about. "After three days of troubleshooting DNS, and a two hour blamestorming session, we checked the logs and there was a leading space. Don't be like us, kids."
They do. The merits are what make FAANG angry. They want the right to profit from your work without any corresponding obligations and GPLv3, AGPL, SSPL, BPL, etc. all deny them that right.

Do they really say "sugar free" on the label? I think the claim is that one serving (one tic-tac) has 0g of sugar, which, assuming rounding to the nearest whole number, is probably true.

Unfortunately, that might lead someone to say, well, there are 60 tic-tacs in a box, and 60 * 0 is still 0, so I can eat all 60 for 0g of sugar, which of course is not true.

My take away from this a lesson about validation strategy. First, I will point out that exhaustive testing for 2^64 * 2^64 operand pairs is impractical, for scale recall that there are around 2^75 (I maybe off a bit here) atoms in the universe. So you wont run all pairs, much less generate expected results for all pairs. So, you must sample. Purely random sampling is mostly going to generate operand pairs that are not edge cases and corner cases, where one or both of the operands falls precisely on a binate boundary (the precise point on the floating point number line where the exponent increments/decrements by 1). Your sampling must be heavier for the edge cases. Lesson: Understand the edge cases and be sure to attack them.
> I don't see why we can't have both?

Because you still need roads for robotaxis. Urban centers should be pedestrian only zones augmented with light rail. We need to stop looking at any form of car as a solution, they only exacerbate the problem since they require roads.
There’s nothing wrong with that, and there’s nothing wrong with people who want to build GPL software - do what you like, consistent with your ideals. This is really only in response to the perennial “why don’t more people use GPL” questions that seem to always pop up any time software licensing is discussed. It’s fine for some people, but there’s a reason corps tend to avoid it or have internal policies against using GPL software.
Speaking hypothetically because I'm neither a lawyer nor an economist:

If a monopoly or a monopsony withdraw from a market in order to force a change to legislation they don't like, that feels like exactly the kind of thing that governments need to take a dim view of, or else risk becoming de facto puppets of the monop*y.

There are valid tradeoffs, though. If you have a little more fire safety but as a result a significant increase in housing costs that pushes some people at the margins into homelessness, that might not be worthwhile.

Is the requirement to have two staircases in apartment buildings worth all of the extra lost space? Maybe, but also maybe not.

Ultimately we should be optimizing our policies for human well being, not safety. If we lock everybody in padded rooms, they'll be much safer than if we allow them to go out and do dangerous things like get in cars, but that's obviously a bad tradeoff.

>"They have planned these systems for every milliwatt of power that is used to run the satellite, so there is not the power budget on existing systems to run encryption or authentication. It's not practical."

I doubt this. If they were concerned with power usage at the milliwatt level, they would most likely be using custom real time kernels. Encryption is ridiculously cheap in terms of power usage and performance on any modern processor because of intrinsics. I doubt they'd see even a blip in power usage with ChaCha20 unless all their code is hand optimised assembly.
