Corporations move operations to places where operating is cheap? How exactly would this not happen if the prices were lower? This kind of concessions is how you end up with domestic sweat shops.

FWIW the answer is not to prevent corporations from leaving the country either. That's silly. The answer is to apply carbon emission regulations to the entire supply chain of a company and to make the fines/fees more expensive than the money a business can save from moving somewhere else. Businesses act on what makes financial sense. If you want to change how businesses act, you need to change what makes financial sense for them.
Sounds like the perspective of someone who never gave that tool a real chance. To me it’s primarily just another aid like IDE inspections, IDE autocompletions etc.

I use GitHub Autopilot mainly for smaller chunks of code, another kind of autocompletion, which basically safes me from typing, Googling or looking into the docs, and therefore keeps me in the flow.

Why would they? The direction for safer JVM research is to implement JVMs in Java, which has the advantage of being both memory safe outside a few tiny core areas (same as rust) whilst having cleaner code than the Rust impl (none of these problems with lifetimes).

>but because of right-wing populism (which much like elsewhere was sent into overdrive during the first year of the pandemic) and having to rely on an unwilling coalition partner constantly threatening to ruin everything if it doesn't get its way.

Ah, yes, the good old classic boogieman, right wing populism: "It's the right wings' fault, if we could only silence those people and not let them have a voice we'd all be much better". /s

What if a healthy democracy means giving everyone an equal voice? Forcing a group to silence only make that group more angry, violent and prone to backlash.

The "early access" thing makes sense in closed-source projects but not much in F/OSS projects. Now I understand what you meant, but as I've said it was not technically open-sourced for two days and no one would be sure whether you are sincere or not.

This confusion should have been temporary and could have been easily resolved, but your reaction arguably made things worse. For example back then I actually asked you about the exact generic compilation strategy [1], and your answer was unnecessarily aggressive and content-free. It turns out that my later guess (to which you never replied) was right, i.e. the initial V compiler maintained a partial C code template that can be patched. If you had actually answered as such, people would have less reasons to disbelieve you because you have demonstrated a necessary understanding. This was also why other language developers were particularly harsh to you at the beginning.

It's incredible to see the unironic take here that we need undemocratic do nothings to actually make business decisions. Some of the oldest and most successful companies in the world are worker owned and operated. Just look at the Mondragon Corporation in Spain, which has been around since 1956, has 12b in yearly revenue, and has 80,000 employees. The idea that a co-op wouldn't be capable of investing in the business is ludicrous.
>Add to that the lack of qualified personnel - despite its "recession", Germany currently has record low unemployment

"Lack of qualified personnel" is just double-speak corporate propaganda for over-abundance of poor paying jobs that nobody wants.

And record low unemployment means nothing. You can always drop unemployment by raising the cost of living (current situation) and cutting welfare programs, meaning people will be forced to take any shit job they can find just to stay afloat and boom, you have record low unemployment.

IMHO, a healthy economy should always have some unemployment because there's always a glut of shit jobs that ideally should stay vacant because they have poor conditions and pay, but the west's dirty secret is grey area migration which helps keep those shit jobs going.

Great question. Honest answer: I bought an LC 200 and it was more car than I was using or really needed so I sold it. I fucking loved it.

Amazing vehicle. I’ve owned many amazing cars and it was an incredible vehicle. Top of my list. But I put 50k on it in 8 years and I just didn’t need it, so we decided to give it up for someone else to use and enjoy.

I’m driving my old 2007 Chevy now. Gets the job done. I don’t love it as much, but as I’ve matured I’ve really had less and less desire to own things. I just don’t care about owning such a nice vehicle. It's a wonderful experience, but I'd rather spend my money investing, spending time with my friends and family or helping somebody else out.

I don't know how to put it any other way.

I loved it, but I kind of fell out of love with the whole system of accumulation and ownership in general. I don’t want to collect things. I don’t find much joy in pointless wealth or fancy cars I guess.

I’d buy another one for sure if I needed it, but truthfully I’d rather ride my bike than have another ride. I don’t think I’m going to regret driving an old car on my death bed, even though I could afford otherwise.

It’s also deeply interesting how much people ascribe to the trappings of ownership and the appearance of wealth. I guess I lost my desire to have a nice car? Like who fucking cares? I know that’s weird. But none of that shit made me actually happy.

Travel, gardening, quiet love, children’s smiles and stuff like that is far more valuable than another car will ever be to me and I don’t want to waste my life paying for fancy shit that doesn’t make me truly happy.

Sorry if that’s too much of an answer but it’s heartfelt.
Thanks for the correction, I need to revisit the subject in full I think.
For me that discussion is always hard to grasp. When a human would learn coding autodidacticly by reading source code, and later they would write new code — then they could only do so because they read licensed code. No one would ask for the license, right?

So why do we care from where LLMs learn?

Can you provide any link at all which defines “common enterprise” in some authoritative way? Otherwise it is just a bunch of words.

OK, the basics. But do not stop reading here if you want to write a parser. There are more modern tools to look at (e.g., antlr).

Warning 1: parsing Unicode streams well is awkward with flex -- it's from an age where ASCII ruled. But handling multiple input incodings may get weird. If it is only UTF-8, maybe it works, because that's essentially bytes. But I find a hand-written scanner more convenient (the grammar is seldom too complex for that). But regexps based on General_Category or ID_Start etc.? Difficult...

Warning 2: for various reasons, usually flexibility, conflict resolving, error reporting, and/or error recovery, many projects move from bison to something else, even a handwritten recursive descent parser. It's longer, but not that difficult.
Oh, you can be absolutely certain that Germany only decided to support the sanctions through gritted teeth. Prior to the war Russia was a highly-regarded trading partner for a lot of companies. Many companies had employees or contractors in Russia, especially in tech. The corruption and "conservative values" (e.g. its de facto ban on homosexuality) were well-known but mostly ignored.

Supporting the sections meant cutting off a limb with heavy blood loss. It's absurd to be confused why Germany hasn't managed to regain composure yet. We barely cauterized the wound.
Bitcoin is getting a pass mostly because nobody has any control over Bitcoin. There might be a loose community project, but Bitcoin is basically frozen in its current state, with no innovation. It's really hard to argue there is a common enterprise when there isn't really an enterprise at all.

> ETH foundation ICO might be the biggest mistake they ever made

It doesn't really matter if the Eth foundation did an ICO in the past or not, the simple fact that they are a coordinated project with a strong leadership structure who exercise quite a bit of control over the future of Eth is a strong indication that an "enterprise" exists.

The main reason why SEC are hedging their bets over ETH is that they don't actually know if it's a security. It's not the SEC who defines what's a security or not (though they often offer advice). The definition of "security is actually defined by the courts, so the only way to know either way is a court case.

And the SEC clearly wants to create some legal precedent by prosecuting cases that are much more obvious.

Also... the status of something being a security isn't necessarily static.

Just because Bitcoin is considered not a security now doesn't mean it will never be considered a security. If the bitcoin miners decided to band together and take active control over the direction of bitcoin innovation, then its current excuse would evaporate. If they transformed it into something that was obviously a security, then no amount of "But the SEC previously said bitcoin wasn't as security" will protect it.

The only reason we have the intuition that these would not be viable is because we've been indoctrinated by a capitalistic system since childhood. All the evidence, as you have shown repeatedly in this thread, suggests that workers give a shit when they have a stake in the business, and when they have a say in how the business is run. The results should not be surprising.

The article which this article links to [1] provides some interesting insights on the exact causes. In particular it's been driven by declining household consumption which, in turn, has been caused by a surge in food prices - with food cost inflation in Germany exceeding 20%. This was simultaneously paired by falling demand for German exports, particularly in China which had been driving German growth for years.

How does that encourage small businesses creation?

That seems backwards to me, compared to other EU member states. This "German way" seems more like it's more discouraging to start a small business, rather than encouraging it, and more convincing to just stay employed instead rather than bothering to start a small business.

Very interesting reading the comments. My impression is that a lot of people saying this can’t possibly work are in the camp of “one day I’ll found a business and this kind of thing could ruin that”. It’s the same thinking that says “don’t tax billionaires - one day I might be one!”.
if only there was actually any good evidence of microplastic impact on health instead of a moral panic. microplastics will sink to the bottom of the sea and get buried under dirt on land, becoming part of the geology anyhow. for something with no clear evidence of harm, is it really worth replacing it with materials that require multipliers more fossil fuels to produce, increase carbon emissions, which are very much proven to cause harm to both human health and ecosystems?

As I said, bullets don't cause pressurised propane cannisters to explode.

> aluminum aircraft contacting a building cause enough of a spark

Read the accident report - static electricity, not a bullet, not a pressurised propane container.

> Does there have to be another existing fire for punctured [propane] tanks to rocket upward like in the movies?

Usually a pulley system or another Hollywood trick.

> Does a drone RPG carry a light?

No. Also, not a bullet, it's a Rocket Propelled Grenade.

Just to clarify, here's a slow motion video of a bullet fired into an unsecured pressurised propane tank (small) with a lit flare next to it.

https://youtu.be/ptend5StNB8?t=62

You can see the tank outgassing and falling off the 44 gallon drum (doesn't "rocket into the air"), the gas eventually (in slow motion it takes a while) lights up from the lit flare and there's a dramatic fireball (burning gas) but no explosion as such - after all is over and done with the propane tank will look a little singed, have two holes in it, but won't look "exploded".

There are other videos with no flares .. much the same happens save there are no fireballs, the gas just expels and expands out into the atmosphere.
Developers are allowed to get or ask for contributions, donations, or sponsors.

To add to the strangeness of how its being mischaracterized, was the apparent jealousy (back in 2019) over the amount of donations that other developers got. Then for certain ones to have got so upset at getting less, they started to bash and publicly ask people to give them their money instead.

Somehow, it's OK for X to get money for their competing language, but it's "wrong" for Y to get money for their language.

Yeah, the focus on straws is strange to me as that’s only a tiny part of the problem: every fast food wrapper, burger box, “disposable” soda or coffee cup has PFAS—maybe not the plastic lids, but those are clearly not things you want to dispose of either. The only exceptions are the old-school pizza boxes: that’s untreated cardboard, and they don’t handle the steam and grease for much longer than the delivery.

I was very confused when the law banned plastic straws, and they interviewed people on the street holding ten times more PFAS in their coffee cups, arguing they did their part…

The “solution” is non-disposable carriers. France is forcing McDonald’s and other fast food to change (but it’s mainly McD and small local actors there). I’m not sure why California and others haven’t pushed for those. There are solutions (disclaimer: I invested in a couple) using consignment, QR-code… It’s not super high-end tech, but it works. Start by mandating that coffee makers accept customers’ cups and the 20-penny discount that Starbucks does if you bring your own.

My exact statement is that: people had good reasons to believe V is a scam or vaporware before 2019-06-22. Note that this is completely distinct from the statement that V was a scam or vaporware in the same period [1]. I believe this is true. If you don't think so, I'd like to hear your rationales for that---not the reason that V is not a scam or vaporware.

[1] I should point out that vaporware can be a temporary status, that is, something can become a vaporware until it no longer is. So the exact pinpointing is necessary.
Sure but nobody is pretending that there shouldn't be some kind of way of making decisions in these organizations. The point is that the people making those decisions were chosen by and accountable to the workers at the firm, not external shareholders. The incentives are completely different.

This all read to me like the juggling and tricks software developers had to do back then when there was no operating system available (e.g., handle memory manually). Then OS appeared and we could finally spend our time in other more productive tasks. I imagine at some point, something will appear that will let us just deploy an application globally so that it's extremely efficient and scales up/down as needed, without us developers/sysadmins having to deploy so many moving parts.

It's still more complicated than that.

Apple ships OS updates for longer, but not all features make it to the older devices, even when they're not bound to specific hardware. Also devices that don't get OS updates might as well be dead. Third party software support becomes non existent, Safari gets locked in time, the usability significantly decays.

In comparison Google decoupled their framework updates from OS updates a while ago now, and there will be enough third party options to keep the device useful long after the official support has ended. The Pixel 4a's support has ended, but it's still a useable device, where the iPhone 6S is already losing some apps that stopped supporting iOS15 completely.

At the end of the day, I don't think both approaches make that much of a difference.
