> Part of that negotiation could include the 'natural owners' (wider society) placing conditions on agreeing to grant exclusive rights.

this is what is already in place in the west - we just call it ownership for short.

True ownership can only be achieved with military power. And if everybody did this, we'd be in an anarchy - think the warlords of subsaharan africa where there's lots of tribal conflicts.

Remote work has a number of advantages:

1. Climate- the amount of energy we need and emission of SOx and NOx reduces drastically.

2. Brain Drain- The brain drain of talented, cultural people from small towns to cities leaves those towns in a poorer quality and skews cities with higher talent. People in those small towns suffer with the lack of talent and the absence of high spenders which harm the economy of these places.

3. Rent- Companies don't need to rent in cities and save huge amount of money that they can spend elsewhere. This also stops feeding the leech that is rich, (literally) rent-seeking land-owners.

4. Time- Collectively, if remote work is the trend, you save millions of man-hours per day due to lack of commute. From individual level, one can spend the time with family, read a book, learn a new skill or whatever.

5. Family- If you have a family, remote work is much greater for you. Especially if you have kids, a baby or someone ill or old to take care to.

Remote work is such a no brainer.
The best summer intern that I ever hired did not have any programming experience. He was a Berkeley student who had recently decided to change his major but hadn't started taking any programming classes.

When we interviewed him, it was clear that he was a serious student, he was very smart, and that he would work very hard if we gave him the internship. As the hiring manager, I turned him down because of the lack of programming experience.

I was overruled by our CTO. Apparently, the candidate was a family friend of the CTO and the CTO had strong confidence that he would learn programming very quickly.

The Berkeley student was given the paid internship. In an 8 week period over summer, the candidate learned ios programming, identified a problem that was impacting customers, proposed a fix, and was able to release the fix to customers. When he demonstrated the issue and his fix to the engineering team, it was clear that he had spent long hours working with the app.

My lesson from this is that the best candidate may not be the one who appears the best on paper. More important is a very smart candidate who is willing to work very hard.

They can't actually recover the money from the kids. What they can do is declare you, personally, ineligible for Medicaid for a period of time based on the value of assets (not just cash) that you've given away. It's a little complicated. This appears to be a decent overview:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/avoid-medicaid-5-lookback-pen...

Addendum: they can also recover from your estate, up to the full amount that Medicaid has spent for your long-term care, and that's not time-limited.

I'd like to see AI manage to figure out 50 years of law and regulation changes and corner cases that have no documentation other than COBOL implementations.
1. I agree. And this is being worked on, in the future dune will take on more package management tasks.

2. Agree, YAML has decisively won the config format wars. But dune it's extremely unlikely that dune will change this, and we can at least tell ourselves that s-exprs are pretty cool after all.

3. Yup, I hope Eio becomes the de facto standard in the future.
Can you talk more on this, as an older developer most of the cobol jobs that I have seen end up being underpaid for this stage in my life.

What kind of 'ins and outs' are in this context ?
Yes, UX is the key. The iPhone succeeded because they didn't just take macOS's mouse/keyboard UI and slap it under a touchscreen. They took the limitations and strengths of capacitive touch and designed a bespoke UX with new concepts everywhere.

Input modalities define platforms. Eye tracking is a new input modality and will define a new platform. It needs a whole new UX designed around its limitations and strengths. It needs a keyboard, it needs a browser, it needs copy and paste, it needs an app switcher, it needs a whole vocabulary of standard interactions and best practices. Apple has a good start in Vision Pro but they're not going to be the only ones doing UX for eye tracking. There's definitely room for other players with fresh ideas.

> Within our current understanding of physics, you can’t just transfer data without some kind of physical connection.

Physics theorizes the existence of wormholes that can transfer information point to point. But what physics theorizes is not the point.

Whether or not you could hypothetically construct a Faraday cage around the entire United States to limit international radio communications is not relevant, because it would be prohibitively expensive and blot out the sun.

What matters is what is feasible in practice, taking into account both the physical and economic realities. The internet exists and it will continue to exist as a result of both technical reality and economic necessity. The practical effect is the widespread availability of information teleportation.

Excluding information at the physical border but not over the internet is useless, but excluding it over the internet is both not happening now and infeasible to make happen, so excluding it at the physical border will remain useless and therefore has no justification.

In 2008, I was out in the San Diego Zoo with my fiancée, and of course we visited a restaurant and I had a soda. So the cup arrived, but I couldn't locate a straw, and I asked a server, who gave me quite a spiel on how discarded straws are often harmful to animals, and of course the Zoo is now doing their part to save the animals. They didn't offer any straws or alternative material, they simply didn't offer straws at all.

So what could I do? I had been heretofore completely unaware of any threat, and perhaps looked like a monumental jerk for even suggesting that I wanted one.

Is anyone else experiencing difficulties with viewing images on GitHub?
Lately, whenever I visit a repository/profile on GitHub, I've noticed that images simply don't load. This includes profile pictures. I've tried everything within my capacity to rectify this behavior – clearing my browser cache, switching to a different browser, and even changing operating systems. However, the issue continues to persist.

Yes. Although i had to maintain a map of custom field names to what they actually were, or you'd see cf_023042432 as the name.

I don't use jira this way to know what it means, is that the same as multiple project prefixes (if so yes, i dont know what boards are).

> In 2022 there was an average of one shooting a week in US public schools.

Not to downplay the tragedy of what we think of in terms of a school shooting…

But the claim you are making is NOT what we think of, a Covington or Coloumbine or Uvalde. That stat is a gun control talking point intentionally designed to mislead.

That list counts any shooting within a few blocks of a school, and at any time of day. There is one on that list that someone shot a cat at 3am. shooting + near school = school shooting

My city had a 16yo meet another student in the school parking lot late at night, over drugs of course, one was shot at and it’s now a school shooting on whatever sub-organization Michael Bloomberg is pushing at the moment (there are at least five I know of).
Agree. I’ve even tried “seeding” my last minutes of consciousness with other things so that I don’t dream about eng problems (hell, even dinosaurs?).

In home school, there is less people and more choice.

Choice for whom, the student or the teacher? The teachers are the ones with the agendas, in all senses of the word.
A) You absolutely have freedom of association in public school. There is statutory and empirical intolerance for bullying, to the point that libertarians have been complaining that there isn't enough due process for the alleged bullies.

Parents can also easily move kids to other classes to avoid unwelcome company.

B) There is, in practice, no meaningful freedom of association in the real world. Childhood is an appropriate time to learn skills to mitigate the downsides of that fact, including forcing bullies to suffer consequences.
As someone who falls in the anti car camp, I'm really sorry you had those experiences. Seattle definitely has problems with insane people, it can be encountered on the streets or on public transit.

Are you saying a move from/to [register+offset] is a magnitude(s) slower than a move from/to [register]? And that prefetching doesn't work with them? Because that's what array indices effectively result in. And... that's not true for either case as far as I know.
Indeed.
In fact, there is no reason to believe some stochiastic if/then process could ever result in the type of morphogenesis we see in the video.

Whence comes this assumption that life may be reduced to a set of Boolean logic rules?

Such people either have no clue how computers work or no clue how biology works. (Or both.)

“Some proteins act kinda like if/then statements, so therefore the transformation of a single cell into a salamander is basically just a computer program.” You might as well say “My computer has a water-cooled processor, so it’s basically a salamander.”

Armed with a powerful media platform with extensive reach, media executives are building the blocks of hatred and division in the ongoing and escalating war between the people who will benefit from automation and the people who will suffer.

Reading this makes it sound like that, since almost nobody lives there half the year, the eagles think its a place to call home. This island is so remote it should almost just be left to the wild.
Hard to tell, guess it'd be great if we had an example of such a thing so we can check it by comparison. Maybe we can find such an example on twitter...

But maybe it's worth challenging the question a little; what exactly is wrong with doing such a thing? What are the potential positives and negatives if one were to be more open with their failures? Are there any situations where a failure still yields positive results and an analysis of such a failure is useful?

The article itself is not very good and I think the article's author tries to hard to take an alleged social media story where an emotional outburst resulted in a performer getting better sales. Already the article is extremely light on details for this story, and the story itself doesn't seem as important as the author's segue into their point about "sob stories"; I read this as a trite example to vault to a larger point that I don't think the author ever makes, but their opening sentence is quite revealing:

> "There are few behaviours considered more unflattering than actively seeking pity."

This premise is too much for me to accept without further elaboration from the author, as it introduces a lot of questions on this view point that I don't think the article even tries to answer. The focus on how failure should be something we don't show is very unusual, since there are so many fields where failures are part of the expected process, and you're supposed to learn and discuss failures, not hide from them.

I can't really get what the article is meaning to express except a general rant about "sob stories", but the rest of the text just seems to go on regarding something about social media, and while I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to understand from it, what I did understand was the author maybe just doesn't like the format of discussion on social media and common habits on social media.

That is fine, I am not big on the social media format as well, and I just choose not to use it a ton as a result. So there is something about 'sob stories' and social media we're supposed to understand, but I'm not really sure what it is. Tying it to an artist that "used their sob story to fill seats" and implying that this was a scam with extremely light details is not convincing to me.
Linus has done just that in the past when he didn't consider things stable enough by -rc7. It's his call; the article is only pointing that out.
They argue for "public transit, walking and bikes" according to their website. Bikes are mainly how they choose to protest, but they want accessible public transit.

I have had always mixed feelings about Zenfones. On one hand I was one of those people complaining about the lack of small-factor Android phones. On the other hand I'm one of those people who never bought a Zenfone. I could just never justify their price.

Currently one can get a huge chinese flab for $250, with decent HW specs that will be still decent in 3 years (and also horrible SW support). Why can't anyone create such a phone, but small? Maybe from a brand that has at least some breadcrumbs of reputation?

Sony seems to do the same. They have a couple of small Xperias, but they cost more than a top of the line iPhone... I guess they will exit in a year or two also. Not that I'm happy about it. Just not sure who these manufacturers are targeting.
