This is the form 4473 -- the dealer has a record of all sales that they've made. However, you could certainly sell the gun to someone else, through a different dealer. That doesn't make the old 4473 invalid -- it records a sale that actually occurred -- but it does mean the 4473s are not functionally a registry.

"Adam Ruins Everything" is a really, really terrible source. I encourage you to take everything you've learned from it and throw it out entirely.

Every episode makes horrific errors, uses subpar sources if any, and frequently gets really basic facts wrong in an effort to "ruin everything" and weave a narrative.
I don't know how realistic employers colluding to hold wages down is, but if it happens, this transparency is also a public signal they can legally use to verify the other employers aren't cheating to get better talent.
> If the patch is distributed on its own, without the original binary, is it still a derivative work?

Yes, just as annotations are recognised as being a derivative work even without the original.

> Is the unique, creative work of writing "perform XYZ instruction at XYZ address," in lieu of the original executable, still derivative?

If you can convince a judge that, on the balance of probabilities, you were divinely inspired to write it with no connection to the original executable, then it's not derivative. But good luck with that.

You won't need "years worth of math" to be able to prototype digital hardware.

As soon as there's a non-trivial analog element - anything frequency-dependent, resonant, exceptionally resistant to RF interference, or switching significant current - you absolutely do need that math.

You can model resonant filters with DSP, but you still need to understand z-plane digital models. It doesn't hurt to have some idea how they relate to s-plane analog models.

Cook-book tinkering is plenty fun, but you really can make things explode or burst into flames if your project is switching and/or carrying any significant load.

So we purchased a couch three times: once from IKEA, again at a thrift shop, and once more from Rooms to Go (R2G).

R2G was, by far, the best option. I know that the sofa is "cheap" compared to what a "quality" couch would cost. (I paid $3200 for a three piece sectiona.) However, going into the showroom, having oodles of oodles of styles we could sit on, and giving the salesperson my card and having them take care of literally everything else (down to installation and placement) was amazing. The couch also looks great and is comfortable as hell.

The thrift shop couch was the second-best experience. Terrible selection, but we got lucky in finding a couch we liked. As it happens, the couch was an Ashley Furniture couch, which is kind of like R2G. We had to move it in ourselves, which was extremely annoying. But it is still standing and is still a great couch. (It's my office couch now!)

The IKEA couch was by far the worst. Buying the couch was easy, of course. Putting it together sucked, but whatever. The quality of the couch, though, was a disaster. Super lumpy seats within months of use, color stains discolored the couch permanently, even after cleaning, looseness, etc. I wouldn't buy couches from them again.

That said, we have tables from them that are still great. So maybe IKEA for small furniture you don't care about is the move.

Rethinking trust in direct messages in the AI era
You normally speaking shouldn't care. But there have actually been Kickstarter cases brought to court that were resolved in the favor of the backers.

Examples:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/06/feds-take-first-... (most likely fraud)

https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/32334/court-orders-fines... (seems to have been either bad timing or someone that needed the court to get off their ass)

https://massivelyop.com/2022/10/12/chronicles-of-elyria-dev-... (many millions of $, case dismissed)

So it's a bit of a toss-up. Especially the second is weird because the state is awarded $54K versus a pittance to the backers and apparently the backers did in fact receive their stuff.

All in all, other than outright fraud I don't see much in terms of real world recourse here, and even then you have to wonder if you shouldn't just write it off. The last one is interesting: by handing a lot of $ to a project initiator you are also effectively funding them from defending from you suing them...

> I can say that remote work is essential for me. I think many other neurodivergent people would agree.

Suspect autism spectrum, diagnosed ADHD at 38 (5 years ago), I can say for me at least: Remote is the only way I can function. I've done tech support and hated it, even chats. Chats was better, because I have severe phone anxiety, but just being in an office with so many people (Bluehost) was insane.

I've been doing freelance dev most of my career (10 years), if only because its basically guaranteed remote. Also, I'd like to stay in southern utah, but that's beside the point. If the office was next door, I wouldn't want to go (unless I was paying for the office, and it was only my office, nobody else's - then I'd go there to get away from family while I work).

Now that I think about it, in my life I've had two jobs I didn't much mind: Delivering pizzas back in my 20s, and software dev -- both essentially were remote. Pizza's I did have some in-store time, but I was 'mostly' free to let my mind wander, or chill to tunes in my car. Dev is basically the same, I don't like to deal with people or noise unless its my noise (media devices). I have toddlers, some days that's torture tbh, love them but - those you love can torture you pretty damn good. :)
I wonder, in big American companies, you can have a really high salary as SWE. I was under the impression that it wasn't the case in European company.

Hashicorp isn't Oracle. It's still always useful to think about license questions in terms of whether it'd be OK if it were Oracle instead. For example, consider:

"I don't really care what license Oracle uses. It gets the job done."

If you wouldn't say that, and oh how I hope you'd never say that!, then why say it about Hashicorp? So far they've been reasonably decent, license shenanigans aside. However, remember that they're just one acquisition away from that being untrue.

The license always matters. Always.

If the attacker has total control, then all bets are off no matter what mechanisms you put in first. Adding a safe mode would at least allow manufacturer to stop any non-total exploit without relying on the more complicated update mechanism.

In any case, glad you gave it another shot, but perhaps it isn't your cup of tea. It's great that Emacs is (and has long been) able to adapted to a variety of needs and preferences.

"Passing CI" is a low bar -- it is only a single layer of defense. Moreover, code has syntactic properties that aren't necessarily evaluated by CI. My comment claimed that there are readability and usability concerns with unfinished code. This is why we have code review. CI is a signal that the code is good to merge, but as a code reviewer, I have the final say. I don't merge unfinished code.

If CI passes on your branch but later fails due to lagging behind master, it is on you to get it working before re-requesting review.

- forcing a range means these ranges will skew lower so higher performing people will lose out and average salaries will go down

No one is powering a house with a battery, or hydrogen, for 100 hours.

Neither are an energy source. We will power houses with low cost carbon-free energy: nuclear and renewables.

For renewables, interconnection and load and generation diversity will deal with most intermittency issues.

We then provide additional firming capacity with other technology, including energy storage, that in the case of batteries, is probably operating every day, and for pumped hydro and other long duration storage that’s probably operating every week or two, and then some fuel-based generation that’s probably only operating a few days a year.

Hydrogen is probably not a big part of the future power system.

Funny, I wasnt specific in my example, but my bad experience that I had in mind was also about a sinus infection. I had the flu symptoms and I booked the first appointment after the usual “let it run it course” period and specifically said that this feels different. Got the “let it run…”, waited another week, booked another appointment, got a bunch of otcs and finally when another week passed, I went to urgent care and the doctor there immediately diagnosed it as sinus infection and prescribed be antibiotics. Was feeling better after that in 3 days.
I joined google after self-interrupting my academic path. Later I realized that Matt Welsh was the guy who wrote the first Linux manual I ever had (https://www.mdw.la/papers/linux-getting-started.pdf) which was pretty much the gateway for me learning what I needed to to work at Google.

My goal in joining google was to treat it as academia and use my position there to return to a stronger position in academia. I didn't manage to do this, but I was a more productive researcher as a SWE at Google than I ever was working in academia.

For a while Google wasn't just disneyland for nerds- it was nerdtopia. It was the first place I worked that had more people who were more nerdy than me. At first that was great but eventually it got tiresome.

If you want to keep topics a secret you can just block them. Topics also have a chance to be randomly replaced.

PDF stands for "Portable Document Format". It carries not just textual content, but also layout with it, making it generally suitable for reading on a screen as well as printing out on paper. Documents that used to require physical printing on paper (such as resumes, but also other things like homework assignments or corporate forms) have had a much easier transition to digital with the help of formats like PDF since that's what the format was designed for

The .docx format is generally also acceptable since it is commonly supported by Windows applications and also contains formatting and layout information in addition to text

Plaintext files not only lack formatting, but they also depend on the character set that's being used. If you type up your resume as a .txt file on a *NIX machine and your prospective employer opens it in Windows Notepad, they might see all of your words squashed together rather than typed out in a way that you intended

And even if your plaintext resume did open properly, scanning it would be a chore compared to your competition since there would be no visual cues like large headers, indentation (which can be affected by word wrap in plaintext), or hyperlinks (useful for linking to email addresses, phone numbers, online profiles, etc), to name a few things

I haven't seriously programmed in COBOL for 30-40 years.

But, having said that, I can pick up a COBOL program and by reading it, I will know what it does and almost certainly how it does that.

That can not be said for several other programming languages I have used. One of COBOL's criteria during its development was that it should be READABLE. It is.
Bedframe gives you that, basically. It's a project generator that uses Vite so it'll let you build in vanilla js and html/css and enables dev niceties like HMR so you have a live dev server, etc. but in the end you end up with just the html/css/js.

Idea is, depending on what kind of extension you're building you can use content scripts to render you extension in shadow dom or iframe. Bedframe lets you do this.

The CLI is a project generator for:
- popup (default kind of extension)
- side panel (relatively new in Chrome / https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/sideP...)
- overlay (what you describe above)
- devtools extensions (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/devtools/#d...).

Bedframe goes further and lets you add a mvp.yml workflow to your (Github) repo and have any versioned changes landing in 'main' branch get published to firefox, edge, chrome web stores

Basically productionizes the extension dev process.
