As a video editor, most of my files are more than 2GB each. The product looks appealing, but impractical for my workflow. Compressing footage to <2GB proxies, uploading the proxies to a website to catalog, then downloading each individual clip I want to use in Premiere seems like a slow process that would also degrade the quality of my footage.

On-premise storage with low latency access to original footage is still a requirement for professional video production.
I agree, who are these people? What did they do? The author asks for them to be ousted but ironically offers no names or actions with which to confront them. I get that it's likely to prevent harassment, but understanding at least what was done is crucial to fixing said mistakes.

Another nail in the coffin of McDonalds. Their price increases put their food on par with other better quality burger joints. McDonald's was great because it was cheap. Now at this price point I'll just go to somewhere else.

This is just an attempt to reduce the free refill brigade. Penny pinching, but pinching nonetheless. You will be less inclined to go up and get a refill because you'll have to wait in line.

They also purposefully overfill their beverage cups with ice so you get less soda. I'll just tell them no ice out of spite.

The final straw (pun intended) was when they reduced the sizes of their fries. A medium fry is now a small. Not even worth it anymore.

Sorry for the passion here, but I used to love McDs on the road. I'll seek my road junk food elsewhere.

I guess? But it's not working lol you can't have "I want to exert pressure on these people" and also "I will not tell you who these people are". These two things are fundamentally at odds with one another.
When I go overseas, places where English is rare, people also don't pronounce American cities or towns in a very English way --some sound foreign-- ask a Chinese to give you the name of any major city in your country/province/state. It's going to be quote different. Why should I feel any different?
The last version of Node that only supported CJS libraries has already long faded out of LTS. In my opinion, more libraries should just rip the band-aid off and entirely stop publishing CJS. Sure that will upset some downstream dependencies, but semver major tag it, and many of the downstream dependencies need the kick in the pants to move to ESM anyway.
Trust is like a mirror - you can break it and you can fix it, but you'll always see the cracks and wonder what the future holds.

My favorite tool that (ab)uses LD_PRELOAD to do something useful is `stdbuf`: https://linux.die.net/man/1/stdbuf

The implementation is completely bonkers. The tool sets some environmental variables, then spawns a child process with LD_PRELOAD set to load a library (libstdbuf.so) which has a some initialization code that runs when the library is loaded, and that based on the environmental variables, calls setvbuf() from inside the child process to override the buffering behavior.
I was being facetious again. My point all along is that everyone is ok with banning certain things, it's just a question of which things do we ban and why.

I haven't seen convincing research that making psychedelics is 100% beneficial. It seems like it's on the margin and could be either way. The reasons I am not convinced are that 1) research that said it's harmless couldn't isolate psychedelics because psychedelics users were highly likely to use other drugs that have known side effects so they used models that attempted to isolate it and the result is not convincing. 2) Clinical trials had a clinical setting which is not the same as allowing the public to use them without supervision. 3) There's some studies that show a marginally higher likelihood to have health consequences for psychedelics users. 4) Arguments pro freedom are odd because most people don't believe in total freedom.

If it were me I would just let the law sunset in five to 10 years with a clause if the experiment worked out then vote to make it permanent.

At least one former associate wrote about the dealings of a few maintainers of Rust, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28633113. More reports likely don't emerge because of fear.

Potential witnesses are afraid of the friendly, high-status faces in the community who play nice in public, and then stab in private. Elites can hurt a whistleblower's career, long before the community accepts an uncomfortable truth.

However, there's more to this fear than just a few bad apples and internet drama. Rust's problems are much, much deeper.
Looks like we've reached the max comment depth.

I think we agree that labor is a source of value - discovering, creating, transforming inputs to add value - and capital is surplus value from previous labor.

I think we disagree that socially necessary hours of labor is a useful "objective measure" of the value of the product.

I think too many variables have to be hand-waved away by that "socially necessary" qualifier, such that it completely hides any value (ahem) of the measure.

We've identified that we have to qualify socially necessary labor hours by

- average skill and diligence of the workers currently available in the region

- efficiency of the production processes for this item and all capital goods and materials used in production

- level of technological advancement for all of the above

- availability of competing products

That's a very abstract measure casually described as hours of labor, and seems to have little descriptive power, much less predictive power to help decide what will be worth producing. Frankly, I'm not sure if it can be calculated at all for any commercial product.

"The value of a commodity can be objectively measured by the hours of socially necessary labor required to produce it."

Can anyone cite the hours of socially necessary labor required to produce any single product? (See "I, pencil" for an example of the complexity)
Liz we had another couple hundred of those still sitting in boxes in the office as late as when we gave over the space to Trello around 2018. How many did you make?!
"Pay before the item ships" is nearly ubiquitous online even if you used Paypal or a debit card or whatever. Maybe if you'd used a method like that they'd not even be pretending to think about sending your item, vs just pocketing your cash.

I'm not sure "vendor is so paranoid about fraud because credit cards are too consumer friendly, thus credit cards aren't payer-friendly" follows from this story more than "vendor is just acting in bad faith."
Of course it's technically feasible. You do the filter-branch thing and then you force-push.

Sure, it would be very inconvenient for everybody who has a clone of the repo, but I don't think that's a convincing argument to a nation state trying to enforce regulations.
I think he has given up on change so he's just moving on. I'd bet he has named the names elsewhere and repeatedly for some time before it came to this.
To your first point, it's like wringing out a sponge to continue soaking up water. A sponge saturated with water still has the ability to soak up more water, just not the capacity. The issue isn't storing the water, we can do that in buckets (and in the earth in the case of CO2), the issue is collecting it in the first place.

To your second point, we need to find a way to sequester CO2, not simply stop generating anymore. It's also more complicated than 1 MWh generated by solar = 1 MWh generated by coal, there's a time dimension, among other complications, to it as well. If we produce more solar energy during the day than we use, we can turn that towards capturing CO2.

It's going to take work, but if we can sequester more CO2 than we generate, than we can ostensibly reverse climate change, or at least mitigate it.
If you use devices that belong to big corporations then you aren't paying for service you are paying to be a servant. They have the better products because they have to treat their customers as idiots. If you accept a product that treats you like an idiot be prepared to spend like one. That's why I am.
Nokia had far better cameras, etc. at the time. They wanted to compete on hardware quality.

It might have worked if Ballmer was still in charge. Nadella’s been heavily prioritizing cloud over operating systems platforms, though. It was unclear MS would do that back when Nokia bet on windows phone.
Two months' severance? That hasn't been a norm in ages. You're lucky to get 2 (maybe 4) weeks and a month's worth of COBRA (in California).

I am curious to know the degree to which US political parties' self-interest, in data collection and aggregation, is responsible for the lack of creating data privacy laws. That kind of incentive leeches away my hope that the US will improve the legal landscape for data privacy.

In Canada, federal political parties conveniently scoped their data operations outside of federal privacy legislation when it was written. Then, when provincial legislation threatened those parties' data collection operations, the federal parties subtly changed federal law in order to claim that federal political parties' data collection was exclusively under federal jurisdiction:

> The amended petition from the Liberal Party argues that the passage of C-47 “expressly confirmed Parliament's intent” that the collection and use of personal information by the federal parties “be governed exclusively by federal law.”

https://www.hilltimes.com/story/2023/09/08/federal-parties-a...

The question of whether that kind of jurisdictional excision can be performed is now before our courts.

This is BS, NYT spells this out exactly, and if I had to bet, based on tone, CNBC/Bloomberg shared similar info.

There's nothing mean or personal about Musk in the NYT either, I don't know what you possibly could have seen to imply that they're journalists publishing info punishing SpaceX and including info about Musk to denigrate him and that it's all so unfair because anyone would beg for SpaceX.

Well, I don't know what the point of this is then. The Github issue is obviously a resignation in protest and a call to action - they explicitly state that people need to be removed. And yet this call to action is impossible to pursue.

I am sure that some people know who's at fault. But this Github issue wasn't a private message to those people, it was a public one. This is a public call to action where the public has no information.
I think you are (missing the point). Often speed traps are about enforcing typically unenforceable regulations in bulk to reduce the effort. Among other problems. Also this advice doesn’t help if you do want to drive past the limit.
GPS is broadcast only, there is no communications back to the satellite. GPS is provided to everyone.

The Elop story is also a conspiracy theory.

Multiple then Nokia execs have come on the record about how while the decisions Elop made were in hindsight stupid, they at least made sense at the time.

Read "Transforming Nokia", "The Decline and Fall of Nokia", and "Operation Elop" to have a look inside Nokia at the time. Alternatively, talk to PMs and BDs who are ex-Nokia - there are plenty that still roam the Bay Area at top Infra, Cloud, and Security companies.

this is all fine. adult cells zapped to behave like stem cells, “filling in” for a deliberately damaged animal fetus in the place it was damaged. poof, human kidneys in an animal. like magic. the ethical concerns are suddenly vastly reduced.

for the sake of efficiency, one must assume the goal would be to maximize the product. product being organs, cost being fetus, so how much of it could be humanized?

or maybe just don’t humanize the brain.

maybe just remove it. brainless fetus organ farm.

don’t worry, it is still just an animal.

Are the political issues impacting the quality of the decisions being made with respect to the language? If so, at what point would it be better for those who have already left or those who would like to leave to fork Rust and continue development without the toxic people?

That rule of thumb doesn't work though for

Either you only use the GPU sporadically or your math is very different from Tim Dettmers` [1]:

"The break-even point for a desktop vs a cloud instance at 15% utilization (you use the cloud instance 15% of time during the day), would be about 300 days ($2,311 vs $2,270):"

And that was written before the current GPU crunch and assumes availability in the cloud, which currently is not a given at all.

I have been thinking of giving my game ideas a try these days... I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I have completed a few small games in the past but never released on a public market.

I can't imagine a game being financially feasible. I doubt your community would be a good place for someone like me.

It sounds like you're mainly interested in people going all in and trying to "live the gamedev dream" which sounds nice, but it would be a hobby/creative art for me.

Some places have suspended backfill.

However, hiring is still tough.
One other bit of trivia, Alexis Ohanian drew one of the versions of Fog Creek’s kiwi mascot that was featured on some t-shirts and merch, though never in any of the products.
What it leads to is a massive elderly population that the young population is unable to support, and a falling GDP, falling house prices, etc.
A microframework for backfill migrations in Elixir's Ecto
Yes, but the rate is related to turbulence which generally scales with velocity. Try to fill a drink glass with high pressure soda coming through a straw would just make a fountain of foam. Poor it slowly and there will be minimal foam. To speed filling without increasing velocity widen the stream.

Somewhat related, some measure the quality of a tea kettle by the height you can pour a laminar flow into a tea cup.
I used to think this before I moved to the Eastern seabord of the US. Many freeways have the speed limits randomly oscillate to values ranging from 50 to 75 with the flow of traffic pretending the speed limit is always 65. There are definitely speed traps set up in many unexpected 55 zones which I only know to slow down at from familiarity.
True, but I wonder if it would first get stuck on trying to shred e.g. /dev/stderr or if after shredding the files in /etc some daemon woke up and tried to read a file there and choked.

To start with, where do you currently feel limited in your life? What made you seek a diagnosis?

Personally, I couldn't keep a job for years. This led me to realize I had ADHD and get diagnosed. You seem to be successfully running a company, so you might have developed the good coping skills to deal with your limitations already.

I recommend reading Taking Charge of Adult ADHD by Russell Barkley. It's a good first book for people with ADHD and can answer a lot of basic questions about medication, therapy and feelings you might have after being diagnosed.
Yes.

Many speed limits are set lower than they need to be. On many roads, including freeways, the average speed of traffic is higher than the speed limit. Driving the speed limit on these freeways is dangerous.

Additionally, many speedometers read slightly higher than the actual speed. Driving the exact speed limit on many roads as shown by your speedometer means you are actually driving quite slow.

Repecting the speed limit as a strict rule is dangerous.
Maybe a better example is returning errors, than const.

Either way, all of these changes are really annoying to make. We want less of these annoyances, not more.
Reducing the number of concurrency primitives does not imply reduction in complexity. On the contrary in fact, I've seen the messes created by golang in large production systems. Here's a good article: https://www.uber.com/blog/data-race-patterns-in-go/

There’s nothing at all that forces the Rust organization to remove their name and email address.

Personally, I don’t think that people should even ask to be removed like that. Sure, if someone wants to leave then the project should avoid implying that they are still an active member, but asking them to make it look like you never _were_ a member is going too far.
Form's solution is selling a downside as an upside, if I understand correctly. The battery technology inherently has low charge/discharge rates, so it has to discharge over hundreds of hours. There are storage use cases where you want this, but it's a limitation.

Your domain may have a policy of reject or quarantine, but does the receiving host correctly act on that policy?

I can understand if free email providers are more permissive with narrow authentication scenarios. Users aren't usually able to contact support.

As someone suggested in this thread, this is a UX problem.

Policies need to appease a large number of users. A gov/corp org receiving these messages can be more strict. Even in these orgs, people complain about not receiving an email that was appropriately rejected.
