What's objective to me is the uptick in anti-supreme court articles largely based on strawmen and rhetoric. At least it "feels" objective to me. Like a meta trend, cultural undercurrents, etc, which I try to pay attention to as it helps me make more sense out of the "why" behind story trends.

Beyond that its just guesswork. So more data is better. Maybe it's just trendy to crap on democracy, as our culture seems to enjoy crapping on anything that used to be deemed good/noble/just. Bad is good, right is wrong, etc.

Or maybe it's just the old political tactics used by authoritarians... When winning they tend to talk about how "just" and "overdue" the ruling/decision/policy is. When losing they tend to resort to strawmen and character assassination, an Orwellian way of associating decisions they don't like with people of bad character. "Big brother can't be bad" "Oceana can't be good" etc

Personally I don't like all the "crap on democracy" rhetoric that seems to be more and more pervasive. Especially in young people. I've heard it said "Democracy is the worst form of government – except for all the others that have been tried".

There are a few realistic paths forward from here, to be confirmed when Hashi releases the full license they intend to use.

1. The Terraform community is large and talented, and we care intensely about open source. There will be a fork that remains open, and I'm hoping we can get all the commercial vendors and interested parties to be joint custodians of it. Like joeduffy says, their arguments are disingenuous, and their taking down of previous videos on their open source philosophy is too.

2. There is likely a Bring-Your-Own Terraform path, letting users supply their own Terraform for executing their code, and a commercial ecosystem that dispatches code and processes response with their own secret sauce. Just like you'd do with GitHub Actions.

3. Meanwhile, Terraform up to 1.5.5 is still open source, it's still amazing, and can still be used with the dozens of commercial tools out there.
The two terms imply "engineering" varies along only one dimension. I personally don't find these terms useful or constructive for anything apart from "talking smack" about engineering decisions outside of your control, influence, or understanding.

The law is not limited to content appearing on the news companies' websites. It applies to "news content" created by an "eligible news business" and "made available" by a "digital news intermediary".

The definition of "news content" is quite broad [0]. It's likely that basically all content posted by a "news business" on social media would qualify. So I don't think it is an example of overapplication. If the government wanted to ensure that the news companies can continue posting on Meta social media sites, they shouldn't have gone for such an aggressive scope on every dimension.

I am always surprised when I realize this in conversations with entrepreneurs. They explain something to me about how they “control” their employees, then I say it out loud that it seems weird to me and then they try to explain it to me like it has nothing to do with control or with class but that it is necessary. Sure. It’s mostly bullshit, class and mistrust.
A half-baked thought: It's interesting though isn't it, that the "immature" approach is to try to be extra vigilant. You'd think an immature coder would just want to hammer things out quickly. I wonder if it's because they learned that lesson at some point (maybe in college) and are overcompensating, trying to be extra mature or something.

If Data from Star Trek (or Eva from Ex Machina) walked out of a lab, we’d have no problem accepting that AGI had been accomplished. Or if the scenario in the movie Her played out with the Samantha OS, we’d be forced to admit not only to AGI, but the evolution of ASI as well. However, there are no such examples in the real world, and after months of overhyping ChatGPT, we still don’t have anything like Data. So it’s not shifting the definition, it’s recognizing that accomplishing a single intelligent task isn’t general intelligence.
At a meta level in most companies it is important to not become the quick 'bug fixing' specialist. Don't be the developer product managers use/abuse to get around processes and fix what they want fixing today.

Work with your manager to plan your career path. 'I fixed a bug the other day' is good once a year as a bullet point on 'why you should get that promotion' nothing more. 'I built and led a team to fix long standing bugs' is more what you want to be doing.

I was extremely fortunate to have Travis Geiselbrecht as a mentor when I was a young programmer. He’s absolutely brilliant, humble, pragmatic, and an extremely organized thinker.

No weird and fancy build systems, no weird tricks. Just very pragmatic, straightforward, well commented C code.

Cynical Laws of Software Testing
I don't think the point is that nobody needs to understand the theory. The point is that 3-5 years of analysis might be an overkill in most of practical situations.

Numerical methods are quite well-studied by now. If you need a new method or a variation then you probably specialise in these things, and that's a different question.
It's ironic they're banning others from doing this to them.
The argument falls apart when considering that compute is incredibly fungible and performing a 51% attack only means finding a zero-day that lets an AGI copy its code or neural net to a large percentage of computers. Much like wealth accumulates in the absence of antitrust law and taxation, intelligence accumulates in the absence of some external controls.

EDIT: And probably all you need is natural selection. No one is running GPT-2 anymore except for basic research. Any AGI with marginal advantage over others will be run instead of them. At some level of complexity identical agents will coordinate as one entity with shared goals.
> Both aren't useful, but only one attempts to damage the common understanding of what "Open Source" means

We have a messaging flow building platform which is BSL. Anyone who wants to run their own instance is welcome to and people do and thus find it useful. The idea that the world would be better off if we made it closed source and prevented that... is just nonsense.

> If you want freedom, you don't need a business. Just a good enough day job. Then you can do anything you want to do when you're not working the day job.

I wish it was like that. My ideal “job” would have:

- No or minimal interaction with coworkers, I really want my days to be mostly solo work. I don’t care much if it’s toil work or if it has a massive amount of responsibilities attached, but I need to be solo. No team meetings, no random people (who are not paying me) demanding my time on chat, no physical or timezone-bound presence required.

- Absolutely no management or supervision. No 1:1s and all that crap.

- Ability to leverage the results of my work: if I do a piece of work that unlocks 10 customer deals, I want to be rewarded with a portion of the revenues from those customers. I don’t want to be paid a salary and be rewarded with even more work. It’s embarrassing.

Sounds unreasonable? A solo business would check all the boxes. All the people in my network who went the business owner route had mostly similar reasons. It’s really about owning your time, your work and its full leverage potential. These things are fundamentally at odds with any subordinate employment contract.

> This seems like a sketch of what a good enough day job might be.

I feel I could afford it at my current financial state, for a happier life.

> Do you think building another corporation is the best way for you to shake that feeling?

Yes, absolutely. I would be building a corporation where every single win I manage to get is a leverage for my own future. It’s a completely different dynamic than being a corporate cog.
That is actually a selling point too. I've looked at both Fastly and Cloudflare a while back to replace the budget CDN at my previous job after an outage, but found both had more and more serious downtime in the 24m before that. So I just made a script to quickly switch between providers, but I'd rather not have to deal with it at all :-)
In the SFBA you’ll see some of the fastest drivers deliberately passing from the right lane - my guess is they think they are less visible outside the fast lane.
The Movement framework for developing watch faces tries to steer folks toward low power consumption by default; the watch spends most of its time in standby, and a custom watch face only runs code once per loop (which is once a second by default, although you can request more frequent updates from 1 to 128 Hz). This means most watch faces can actually stay under 10 µA as long as they don't need to update too frequently; up to about 16 Hz, power consumption remains decent.

Anecdotally, my daily driver is coming up on 550 days on the same CR2016 coin cell from February 2022, and I think it's on track to make it to 2024. A far cry from the original's 7+ year battery life, but still pretty good considering all it's capable of!
> We already have strong evidence of a fifth force, the Higgs force

AFAIK the effects due to the Higgs are not normally considered a separate force; to the extent they are a "force" at all, they are considered part of the electroweak interaction (the Higgs mechanism for giving mass to other particles, for example, is an effect of electroweak symmetry breaking).
I see the first item as a plus (it's why I pay them a little); it certainly shouldn't impede good reporting. Looks like the science department is a bit thinly staffed though.
I wonder if the license change also applies to HCL? Which I'm seeing more and more use of in open source projects unrelated to IaC.
It's easy to over engineer, using more resources and time than is required to solve a problem. The real challenge of engineering is to fit the cheapest fastest practicalest solution to your problem. Most solutions seem to start out over engineered. At the start of a new project you are looking for any solution that works. Once something works, it requires more time to improve on the prototype.

It doesn't seem like Glassonos is describing over engineering as I understand it. Possibly he's describing scope creep? In general, people should actively discourage extra scope from creeping in to their projects. But I need some examples to illustrate what I'm talking about, as does the OP.
>We cannot be sure that these advancements don't lead to anything significant in the future.

We also cannot be sure that this service won't cause huge damage. If we're going to assign value to it based on its unknown potential, we must consider both its possible benefits and its possible detriments.
I took a stab at the same problem a while ago. Since the upper bound of iterations is based on the input length, if you write your search in a way that extra iterations don't change the result, you can use a switch fallthrough to "unroll" the loop and not have to branch.

https://github.com/ehrmann/branchless-binary-search/blob/mas...
Agreed. These feel backwards.

When I think "Under engineer", I think "keep it simple, because you can't predict the future". Simplicity is a great enabler of flexibility and tends to go hand in hand with scalability.

Seize, not impound. Your driverless car interferes with emergency services, it is to be given up and sold off to pay for the delays your driverless car caused.

All the parties involved primarily make money with ads. Facebook is (in)famous for their privacy invading trackers. Why not leverage FB's creepy stalker tech to mandate revenue sharing for ads related to / shown near or around the news articles shared on FB?

> The ideas of dark matter and dark energy seems obviously made-up. If a junior dev came to you with that sort of theory for a weird effect they encountered in a system, you'd tell them to look harder instead of making up new fundamental interactions.

Well, yeah. Dark matter and dark energy are the bug ticket names, so to speak. Thousands of physicists are coming up with ways to "look harder."
"Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy" are both names for observed effects. They're not specific theories. E.g. MOND is a theory to explain dark matter without needing a new particle or field. It doesn't explain as much as λCDM, but what it does explain it does without new fields. That's aesthetically pleasing to some people.
The post doesn't mention RMS, GPL or the entire internet. Is everything ok?
I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Many of the superfluid dark matter proposals have already been ruled out by other observations anyway.
Not necessarily; only if that CI/CD pipeline actually benefits from Hashicorp's code one way or another (embed, distribute, etc). I highly doubt that Hashi would consider Gitlab in breach of their license because they have support of Terraform state in their pipelines. Classic TACOS eg Scalr and similar might be in a somewhat bigger trouble as they have to have the terraform binary as part of their solution. But even then, they can remove all traces of terraform from their product and require the user to install a docker image with terraform version of user's choice.
As I said, semantics.

But Higgs bosons do mediate momentum transfer, which is about as good a definition of a force as I can come up with.

See e.g. http://resonaances.blogspot.com/2016/01/higgs-force-awakens....
The spirit of the regulation makes sense.

Advertisers and PII farmers basically use news channel posts to generate revenue, and often scrape critical parts of the article, or even just outright steal the contents in whole.

I’m not sure about the execution, but I do agree with the sentiment. Google and Facebook being allowed to steal your content just because they’re massive is a huge problem.
