This is a distinction without a difference. The major Great Powers are all cyber powers. The only difference is that NSO services the non-Great Powers too, with the implicit backing of the Israeli state apparatus. The media has created NSO a cyber power broker for the powers that be, but all of the UN Security Council permanent members have their own defence contractors and cybersecurity staff. Talented engineers are everywhere.
This example looks totally legit to me as long as it preserves backward compatibility and doesnt add unnecessary junk flags
> This is why you need unions. Most businesses will happily screw over workers whenever they can to maximize profits and the workers are lucky if they get peanuts back when they're swimming in cash.

The funny thing is, they might behave this way even if the management of all the car companies actually agreed with the unions and wanted to give them a 40% increase.

Suppose, hypothetically, that most of the management are actually good people who want to share their profits, but don't know what the management of the other companies think. Here are their options:

1. Raise worker wages in line with profits.
1a. The other companies do the same. Everyone's happy, no strike.
1b. The other companies don't do the same. Your company now makes significantly less profit; it's punished by the market -- stock price goes down, meaning you're at a risk of either a hostile takeover, or the board of directors firing you and getting someone else who's more ruthless (and will punish workers even more).

2. Talk with the management at other companies and convince them to raise wages. Actually, this is illegal, and you could face really steep legal fees or consequences.

3. Keep wages the same, and hope the unions do their job and call a strike.

Basically, #3 is the least risky option.

I recall that the subreddit "GCdebatesQT" had some quite clear-headed discussions about this, back in the day. Not all, just some. Unfortunately it was banned by Reddit's management a few years ago, along with all the other gender-critical subs. Which is a shame as it was one of the few forums where such discussion could be reasonably had.

(There's an archive here if you're interested in having a browse: https://www.itsafetish.org/archives/gcdebatesqt.)

On the other hand, the "ChangeMyView" subreddit also sometimes had constructive debate on this subject, but just a couple of days ago the moderators threw in the towel as it was getting too difficult to manage these discussions: https://old.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/16hxvf8/meta_.... Perhaps an indication that it's now too divisive a topic for reason to prevail.
Seems really bad to me.

There's a lot of distracting glitches like the K and Q having small gaps where strokes come together, and even glyphs like the N, M, Y and Z have weird little gaps at the joints, the F and B have a bizarre overhang at the upper horizontal stroke, the 1 and 6 have a weird cut in their strokes.

There are lots of weird confusing choices like the parenthesis being a round rect instead of a bow shape, the @ having a "complex a" inside, the 3 and 5 using a "cute" diagonal layout instead of the normal "rounded-and-rect layout".

Seems horrible for something that should be as simple as possible. The default system UI fonts like DejaVu Sans, Segoe UI, Roboto, etc. are far better.

LibreOffice and Google Summer of Code 2023: The results
I worked on this problem for more than a decade, as co-founder of what became the Center for Humane Tech, and in other roles.

One way to break it down is different users, but as Ivan notes towards the end, we all have Marl in us. So, another way to get at the same thing is to exclude certain engagements from the metrics — the things we click on but would not reflectively endorse as meaningful. You get a lower engagement number that represents meaningful choice, rather than just "revealed preference" / engagement.

This is what I work to align LLMs with at the Institute for Meaning Alignment[1], and Ivan is helping! I also have a paper[2] on the difference between revealed preference and meaningful choice.

(It's also worth noting that this process of enshittification doesn't just happen in software. Markets and voting also have this revealed preference vs meaningful choice problem. So, making this distinction is a chance to upgrade all of our large-scale systems.)

Reminds me of our introductory course in math at uni. The lecturer was showing a concrete example of how to integrate using the technique we'd just learned.

After a lengthy manipulation of the integral, he said "and then you can just plug this into a calculator and get an answer, but that's not really interesting so I'll stop here".
I wonder if there is some programming language that supports combining both styles:

- A linear control flow
- Named Blocks with explicit, named, typed parameters and return values

I understand that one can use anonymous functions, immediately called to simulate

Every suicide, inside Foxconn or outside, is a tragedy.

But re: implying causation, note that the wikipedia article you cited mentions:

Has this example happened?

Most union workers don't want their employment to end. Why would they want to destroy the company this way?

Most large company CEOs can retire on the wealth they've already accumulated. Why should we assume they have higher long-term interest in the success of the company?

What is an example of union-led automaker? Perhaps some small cooperatively-owned car company somewhere? Or do you mean worker representation on the board, like at BMW in Germany, or how there was once a union seat on Chrysler's board?

What happens if a global investment company buys another company, stops all R&D to focus on short-term gain, runs the company into the ground, sells what's left, and makes an overall profit?

What happens then?

Oh, right, what happens is the investment company owners make a lot of money and the ex-employees get screwed. "Vulture capital" doesn't get that name out of love, and my life was negatively affected when KKR did a leveraged buyout of the non-union company where my father worked.

This has nothing to do with whether there are perpetual licenses or not.

The way the go about this makes it seem that you enter a contract that you can never reasonably exit out of, as in order for you to stop having to pay, you'd have to convincingly prove that you forced every customer to uninstall your app, i.e. that there isn't at least one install left.

[...] No TypeScript: Nue embraces the dynamic typing in JavaScript

I see the TypeScript backlash is in full swing!

I personally think TypeScript is (mostly) great and is the only thing that makes JS development bearable. But it's always good to see alternatives.
This example is interesting, in that the suggestion for canonical "<" (as apposed to ">") results in awkward code:

if (index < xs.len) {
// Not the point
} else {
// The condition we wanted to do something
}

Which would be fixed (still using "<") with a NOT operator.

But, I have noticed that I feel slightly irritated by the extra parens that introducing NOT operators often causes:

if (!(condition expression)) {
// The condition we wanted to do something
}

Given NOT is always a unary operation, it would be some nice sugar if "if" clauses didn't require parens for "notting" the condition:

if !(condition expression) {
// The condition we wanted to do something
}

Or we could have "ifnot" clauses, to be clearer.

ifnot (condition expression) {
// The condition we wanted to do something
}

Point being, sometimes it feels easier to test for false than true, based on the variable meanings and context.

(All this syntax fine tuning, is at least amusing.)

This is what happens when a Twitter Saas bro reads a few viral tweets from Design twitter and now thinks they understand an entire segment of the economy.

First of all, virtually no agency counts revenue like a Saas company (as “MRR” and “churn”), since the contracts most agencies sign are by definition not recurring. While some do sell retainer agreements, in general, the whole point of hiring an agency is to avoid hiring in-house for a need that isn’t ongoing or core to your business.

Second, there’s quite literally tens of thousands of agencies/consultancies that are over $50k in monthly revenue. All the big professional services conglomerates are constantly acquiring them (Omnicom, WPP, Publicis, Deloitte, EY, Accenture, etc etc) This is not a plateau that exists and the cited numbers are all totally made up.

Again, while it might be trendy on Twitter right now for people to try to sell “productized services,” this represents a minuscule percentage of the agency business. And agencies will never have true Saas economics, no matter how much they’ll try to tell you they do to get viral tweets.

The docs have a page on encrypting multiple messages[0]. In it they use a single random IV and then increment it for each message. Under this scheme you only need to transmit or negotiate the IV once.

If you use something like TLS, The key exchange is expanded to produce an IV. Then each record has an incremented number[1] and this number is mixed with the IV to form a unique IV[2] for the message.

Long lasting relationships are based on common values. However, you can have succesful medium term relationships based on common interests and good looks.

If you have profits, then you're not spending them on anything, like e.g. R&D, or it's already budgeted in, meaning the argument that increasing salaries hurts R&D is not sound.

You can say you can't increase salaries because you're reinvesting profits into R&D, but you can't use the same argument when there was a several year streak of profits.

This isn't AI generated, it's synonym-spun.

It's an old spammer tactic, to take a real article from somewhere else and randomly replace words with (things they hope are) synonyms. "Dead" becomes "Useless", "played" becomes "performed", "passed" becomes "handed", "men's" becomes "males's" etc. It doesn't matter if it turns into garbage, as long as web spiders don't spot it and see it as original content. It's written to fool robots, not people.

I guess it could be that a language model spat out a synonym-spun article out of whole cloth. They are very familiar with the genre, probably because there's a lot of it in their training data.

But it could also be a hand-written article that got passed through a synonym spinner for some reason.
Yeah, these "excepts" I don't trust at all. Facebook only collected phone numbers for 2fa, then used them for advertising, sometimes debug builds ship instead of prod builds and then everything you type is collected into a plaintext file on your computer, and data leaks all the time. When I use a software like this, I fully expect the data to be public (or given to authorities) at a point, and separate my concerns accordingly.
