But building something more complex in Rust (than just grabbing a bunch of libraries from Cargo) becomes as tedious as what you typically expect in C++ land. I've read anecdotes of Rust devs struggling with build.rs (the official build scripting in Rust) similarly to how people bang their heads at CMake.

This is why other C++ build systems like Bazel and Meson added Rust support, since Cargo/build.rs itself isn't sufficient enough for all use cases (especially when using it alongside with other systems languages.) And it's not too wild for something to think of adding Rust support for CMake as well...
It makes me suspect that the numbers are off. I found estimate that tree absorbs 20-30kg of CO2 per year. Each cubic meter absorbs 1 ton of CO2. I can't think of any tree grows fast enough for 20 tons. I bet it was originally 20kg not 20 tons.

Which means my estimate is 1000 times small. 1 million sq mi is Argentina. Which means we can absorb some CO2 with trees but there isn't enough land for what is needed.

The future of being "prompt engineers" horrifies me. Prompt Engineering makes me think of Search Engine Optimisation as if it was a form of "Engineering". What I mean is that you are positioning yourself based on your "abilities" to get useful results out of some gigantic proprietary system subject to the whims of its corporate owners where the skills are at best cargo culting or at worst self delusional.

All the while, all you're really achieving is increasing the corporate masters profits at the expense of those getting left behind who don't want to participate in this wholesale devaluing of human talent across wide swathes of different careers.

I worry for my kids generation if we can't find a way for billions of people to add value again rather than squabble over the privilege of serving the decreasing few who profit from this.

But it is, at least their political system. But those are pretty intertwined in China, especially in that period.

They imported Lysenkoism from the soviets (who also had massive famines while implementing it).

Which is one of the reasons it's a bad idea to give control of the means of production to the politicians. There are a lot of things that sound good to a politician, but are a bad idea in practice.

The department exists already, it needs zero investment. Did you read the article at all?

If anything, it's going to absorb more opportunity cost ramping the department down than to let it continue operating. About the only way your argument would make sense is if they desperately needed the physical resources (offices, desks, etc); but considering they closed down other unprofitable departments, there are plenty available.
This is quite a screed against folks they see as stuck in that scene. I joined BBS's around this time and didn't discover warez until much later.

Any obsession can become unhealthy, strange to see a whole zine focused on a subset of the warez scene. And it's not like the others didn't benefit from the labor of all these crackers and couriers.

Regardless, it is entertaining despite the judgemental tone.

Maybe because the average understanding of how our society is run, with things like morals, fairness and hope for the future, and the legal understanding of how our society is run has diverged.

Ask HN: Coming from a data analysis background how to succeed as a BI manager?
Hello, I've landed a new job that might be a bit of a stretch for me. Essentially, I will be working in the business area, thinking about strategies and developing KPIs and metrics that make the company focus more on its customers and business opportunities.

I have 3 years of experience as a data analyst and am well-versed in ecommerce metrics.

However, I mainly focused on retrieving them and creating reports/dashboards alongside the product owner. But now, I believe I will need to be more proactive and propose metrics, guiding the company, rather than waiting for requests to drop into my lap.

How can I prepare? Are there any courses or readings you'd recommend?

This all still argument in the service of the dealer not the consumer. I'm well aware cars don't sell themselves. You know who doesn't mind that at all? People buying cars.

Lemme put it in coloring book terms for you: street drugs don't sell themselves either but we don't consider drugs dealers as providing a public service.
I've recently begun working within the Agile methodology for the first time and I'm not a big fan of it as a DevOps engineer at least. Going from roughly ~1 meeting per week to several meetings per day, spread across my morning, absolutely torpedoes my productivity.

Beyond that, there never seems to be anyone in these stand-ups that is capable of helping me because I'm doing stuff that nobody else in the company knows how to do. I'm learning as I go. So the meetings just tend to be me droning monotonously into the ether for no reason. If they did a quiz at the end of these things, everybody would fail it.

Also, engineers tend to have social anxiety. That's why a lot of us became engineers in the first place. It fills me with a small sense of dread knowing I have to speak publicly, every single day, and that creeping dread basically ruins my productivity in the hour of my morning before the meetings start, too.

I'm a lifelong nerd. I don't need motivation to make things. I don't need a 2 week learning period at the end of an iteration or whatever. I learn all of the time because I like to learn. I like to tinker. I like to automate things and make them more efficient. I deliver value just by getting the toys I want to play with.

Maybe Agile makes sense for lazy developers, but that's not what I am. I'm a force multiplier. You know how the special operations guys in the military get to have beards and hats and sunglasses? That's because they're not neophyte grunts trying to fake insanity to get out. They are highly skilled and they get shit done, so they get left alone to do their thing.

Agile feels like it sacrifices its special forces to make NCOs and ensigns look better. Sorry for all of these military references. I have no affiliation. I watched Band of Brothers a few times. It's just the closest thing to a human loss factory that I can think of.

So the conspiracy theorist in me believes they may see this archiving as a threat for their current copyrights. So often modern copyrights holders get their copyrights invalidated when trying to enforce and litigate against others by someone finding an older work that predates the more more recent one. The Happy Birthday song got invalidated by an older work of "Good Morning to All" [1]. Having this database out there, it won't take long for someone to fingerprint this music that hasn't ever been stored in a digital form to use to invalidate claims using newer music. A certain cord progression or beat or a creative lyric and rhyme long forgotten in this old music could endanger parts of their current music catalog.

First if you don't know what open source is, don't add that phrase to titles at random. Fact that it's launched with YC help doesn't actually help your case. Adding feel good phrase "open source" to benefit hand that feeds you is pathetic. Because right now damage is already done, many people saw and will associate Serra with open source, which it isn't.

Second if you are adding it, add definition you are using(not supported? then someone should implement it). Make sure that definition you are using factually describes license used. Don't use some fringe bs. as your definition, so you can crowbar it in every time you find it convenient.

MuseScore is kind of incapable of doing any better. And I don't mean that just in a "this company is malicious and needs to be burned down to the ground" sense[0]. I mean it in the "they have a gun to their head" sense.

So, it turns out that it's actually just kind of outright illegal to trade notation charts around. In fact, it's exactly as illegal as trading song recordings around. This is because music copyright has two souls: the copyright over the song itself and copyright over the individual recording of a performance of that song. And it turns out that creating a platform for trading notation charts around is a good way to get sued by the music industry.

Ultimately, MuseScore got bought out by Ultimate Guitar. If you don't know them, they were just outright hosting guitar tab books, for money, which is arguably more illegal than what MuseScore was doing. But because they were so big and persistent about it they had enough leverage to actually negotiate a license rather than just get shut down[1]. So the end result is that now they're called Muse Group and MuseScore's online tab chart database has to treat everything as owned by a major label, to the chagrin of Touhou fans[2] and anyone else working with music that's actually licensed for free distribution.

My personal opinion is that I don't think you could run this sort of business ethically, because musicians do not pay for shit. I'm also not entirely sure they could back out at this point - it might run counter to something in their settlement with the music labels.

[0] The Tweet linked to in the original blog post of someone from MuseScore threatening to get someone deported over song piracy is evidence of that too - or it would be, except Hector Martin wisely nuked his Twitter once Musk took over.

[1] This is also how Crunchyroll got started.

[2] Which, coincidentally, is how Hector Martin went down the rabbit hole of documenting all of Muse Group's crimes against decency.
Parts of some USA trails (and presumably others) are marked only by rock cairns, typic'ly when the ground is entirely rock.

> Give small loans to your extended family and friends instead.

Middle ground - both are very valid and need this. So agreed but up to a point. This is an extension of the "save a large sinking boat of poor people or save a sinking boat of a few first-world college students". There's valid arguments for either so just do what you believe to be best.
Agreed. You give money to friends and family knowing it won't be paid back.

Less emotional pain when you realize this.
I was fast & loose with terminology, but I'm thinking of the organizations where every binary and every library is its own Github repository, and you make copious use of git submodule to build anything. I think that's the same thing you're talking about, right?

It's impractical (particularly when the project is young) for the same reason having separate binaries is impractical: it makes it very difficult to do refactorings that cut across repos while still keeping atomic checkouts and rollbacks.
Large banks pay more salaries, than interest. Does it matter?

The IA is risking all the work they’ve done so far.

If they want to archive copyrighted material, they should do it and sit on it until the copyright expires. If the hope is that the archive is around 1000 years from now, then what’s the rush to release these 78’s right now?
IANAL but there’s probably some fair use defense given that some may find value in studying the material and it probably doesn’t otherwise have market value.
I think the cycles are the number 1 factor, barring any ridiculously bad scenarios like your phone reaching 200 degrees one day while charging or something extrememly out of the norm. My launch day 14 Pro is still at 100% battery health despite always using fast charging and disabling "optimized battery charging". The main difference between me and the people in the article seems to be the cycle count (i.e. actual battery usage). They charge more than once per day and I charge every couple of days.

Slow charging to the recommended charge percentages is supposed to help but it's really not going to matter much if you're burning through more than one full cycle per day. Hopefully the upward trend of battery capacity continues so charge cycles can drop.

David Weiss is the prosecutor 31 Senate Republicans specifically requested not long ago.

> Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) does not think much of the appointment of U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special counsel for the Justice Department’s investigation into Hunter Biden, the president’s son.

> Attorney General Merrick Garland “knows Weiss will protect Hunter,” Blackburn scoffed in a social media post on Saturday.

> But Weiss’ appointment is exactly what she and other congressional Republicans requested. Special counsel is the same designation Garland gave Jack Smith, currently prosecuting former President Donald Trump.

> Last September, a group of 31 Senate Republicans, including Blackburn, asked specifically for Weiss to be appointed to oversee the probe to “provide additional assurances to the American people that the Hunter Biden investigation is free from political influence.” Weiss had already led the investigation into his business dealings, which began under President Donald Trump.

Unless you’re exceptional. You keep leaving that part out. There’s a parallel gradient of ability and practicality.

I think there's both a legal defence (its for legitimate research) and a law-change-advocacy (we think copyright in these works is silly) component to what they're doing.

I don't think you are wrong about the risks to them in fighting the case with what looks to be such abundently clear IPR over the mechanical recording. But, I do think the wider fight about what "should" be the IPR here, is worth fighting.

That advocacy lies in the part of your comment which heads off the "RIAA is bad" fu.
A statute can't generally over-rule or limit a constitutional provision, though. Statutes generally expand upon rights given in constitutions.

I will point out that the Internet Archive is among the foremost source of warez[1] today.

Being brutally honest, what Internet Archive is doing these days isn't archiving or academic fair use anymore. They are flagrantly violating copyright, or enabling violations of copyright, and that is straight up not okay.

As an aside, do not be fooled into thinking all those ISOs[1] were provided by the rightsholders. They were not, even if they seem so at first glance. I would say the way they present the information is disingenuous at best, deliberate obfuscation at worst.
