You don't need to know this, by the way. You can totally just think of git as simply storing a copy of your entire repo every time you make a commit. This is one part of git that actually is a good abstraction.

Of course it is fun to know this but it won't help you understand git really, and please don't tell people who are just learning git. Just say git makes a copy of the whole project every time you commit.

Unfortunately, it's just more dull than this.

Corporatism thrives in the absence of strong government because it can draw strings to both sides. Trump demonstrated that even if one side completely fails, propping up it's politicians via dark pools of political influence and lobbying will keep anyone from gaining momentum.

The people aren't really a matter anymore. Republicans have minmaxed the board and carved out a basically unfailable position, while democrats really cannot oust their own politicians because that just cedes random chance.

What corporatism "promise" is a stability, a upgrade from defacto slavery to economic slavery.

The British government privatised all the UK water companies some years ago. It turned out just about as well as you would expect. Turns out its much cheaper to pump shit into the rivers and risk the occasional paltry fine than to invest in infrastructure. Meanwhile you can load the water company with debt and pay massive dividends to the private equity companies and foreign investors that own the companies. And consumers have no choice, because each company is a monopoly. Marvellous.

I happen to have quite a long attention span on acid I'll have you know!
This is kind of what's sad at working at a big company. If the same team was doing the same work at a startup, every one of their meetings can be "this feature will kill the competition". Personally I think it's a great attitude; if your technology is better than everyone else, you deserve to put them out of business. And you're certainly entitled to try. (And, sometimes ideas do kill their industry. Called someone on your landline recently? Bought a DVD at the store? Listened to music on a Walkman? It happens.)

The devil is always in the details. If you kill the US steel industry by being a government that pays people to buy steel from your country, that's problematic. If you just make shit and people like it, though, that should never be illegal.

I’d question this: “The deeper problems are, as always, corporate control of laws, policy and regulatory agencies.” Cursory look at history shows that the problems with governments are usually not companies. People seeking power just aren’t saints.
Not announcing the platform in advance is a conscious choice by Amtrak. They do it intentionally because they do not want people waiting on the platforms, ostensibly in the interests of safety and efficient passenger flow in the limited space. It's not really an matter of incompetence, Amtrak absolutely could announce the platforms in advance if they wanted to do that.

This shouldn't need to be predicated by anything. If Unity made this whole story up, still don't.
The abstract is not an opinion, it is a summary of the key methods and findings written by the authors. It is the perfect place to get a short quote to outline the main results of the paper.

Now if we wanted to investigate the methods and results in detail, we certainly would have to read the full paper, however the main findings will not differ from what is in the abstract. You might find that the methods (and hence results) are not valid, and can come up with a detailed rebuttal, for that you certainly would need to read the full paper. However, I assumed here that the findings are valid, because even though I have access to the paper, this is well outside my area of expertise so I am not well placed to investigate the claims in detail and rather refrain from that.

Do you include the adobe tool in each book? No.

Do you include a massive chunk of Unity code in every game made with Unity? Yes.

If you make a song that includes samples from other songs, you have to pay the original creators royalties too. You might negotiate a deal for a one-off payment, or per-copy sold, or percentage. AFAIK Unity offers all of those options.

I guess you're probably unaware that if you release a game on any of the consoles, you also have to pay a license fee per copy. Not sure of the current prices, but it used to be around $7-$15 depending on expected sales volume. If you release a game on mobile, you have to pay 15-30% cut to be on the app stores. If you release on steam, you have to pay them, etc.
It’s short, it’s snappy, and it’s only deployed appropriately (by Alec, and by Steve here), so it stays fresh and not overdone.

> gain a deep understanding of it .. generate smaller subsets of the system

You can use the OberonViewer for this purpose with the original source code, or the Oberon IDE with a version of the Project Oberon System which runs with SDL on all platforms, see https://github.com/rochus-keller/oberon/#binary-versions and https://github.com/rochus-keller/OberonSystem/tree/FFI
If you can buy upvotes for a platform, then it's probably big enough that a nonzero percentage of its users is exactly the kind of person who would make death threats.
I know, but it's still nice to see progress in this area. Even PG17 would probably be too early to expect this work to be finished.
While not spot on, have a look at the smart fortwo or smart forfour, IF you don’t need a lot of range.

I think more than anything it is the nickle-and-dime frustration of being charged multiple times along the way. It would be more like if McDonalds charged per bite instead of per sandwich. Even if the final bill isn't much different, it changes one's eating habits and likely makes the whole experience less enjoyable in the end.

With Unity, users don't like the new labrynthian TOS. It doesn't help that multiple times people have said "I need to pay if I release a free to play game?" And Unity has clarified "no, that isn't what we meant, you won't need to pay for those." It is either on the Unity legal team for writing the terms so poorly or the marketing team for translating them poorly. Either way, trust has been lost. If Unity builds in a legal back door to charge later for phantom installs or retroactive usage or whatever, that makes an operational risk that devs might want to avoid.

Also, separately, the masses will send idle death threats for nearly anything. Given a large enough consumer base, idle death threats will be sent for any change (even a positive one) or no change at all. I'm guessing that McDonalds' CEO doesn't make noise about it when it happens.
The irony I see is that in order to keep property values high, you need people to want to buy them. Since pretty much everyone I've ever met and everyone on the comment thread hate HOAs, then people are buying these house despite they're being in an HOA and not because of it. It would seem non-HOA houses would be MORE valuable because they lack something most buyers hate.

> Because in the last 30 years I've not run into a situation where I needed to have clients execute SQL queries on tiny, static databases let alone still need to potentially update them also.

It was not uncommon in the early 2000's for applications targeting mobile professionals and sales types to work this way, except that instead of SQLite they used things like Notes¹, Jet² and MSDE³. By modern standards these would be considered "tiny mostly static databases" often not exceeding a gigabyte. Instead of connecting over the internet they used serial dial-up file transfer protocols to synchronize with a central database or a mainframe. People would typically download information in the morning, make updates offline and synchronize at the end of the day. A slow trickle of periodic bidirectional updates insured everyone had a reasonably fresh copy of the information they needed.

Thanks for the suggestion! I tried this a decade ago, for something unrelated, and I recall it not having much of an effect, but if I’m being honest I don’t remember if I gave it enough time either.

It’s been circling around in my head for a few weeks now. This might be the kick in the ass I need to give it another go. The stuff you said about getting locked onto a topic is something I have a lot of trouble with. It’s been a little jarring for me to “realize” that you’re not really in control of your mind, just parts of it, and maybe fewer than we like to think. It can just have all these thoughts and patterns without your consent, so to speak. It’s the locking on / latching on that uproots me.
So prostitution with extra steps?

Absolutely – and you'll want encryption and authentication too. Apple could just make it work for existing iMessage chats only, where the devices already have the appropriate keys exchanged.
Not necessarily. The unibody "frame" is a much smaller piece than what Tesla has combined into a single component. For example, dropping and replacing a bent subframe (the part that typically holds the front suspension) will cost 2-3 thousand dollars on a normal vehicle - but damaging the same component in this Tesla design requires replacing the whole "gigacasting".
The best freelancing jobs I got were from my network. Mostly people who were contacted by someone for a gig and they referred my name.
Plastic isn't necessarily a bad thing, metal tends to dent and deform while plastic has some elasticity. It depends on what plastic they use.
Not a lawyer, but my understanding is:

- you have to have a reasonable expectation of privacy for the communication (yelling it across a crowded room, or using a line you know is recorded by someone else means no privilege)

- it needs to be a legitimate attempt to receive counsel from said attorney.

- the only other folks who are in the communication are also related to the matter and also clients of the attorney (or attorneys for you).

So asking your attorney ‘hey, I ran over someone - am I in trouble?’ over direct private email (or other channel) that is private? That’s privileged.

CC’ng your attorney on a thread where you’re conspiring between 3-4 other people so that ‘it’s attorney client priviledged’, but the thread isn’t about you getting legal advice about the legality of the endeavor?

Not privileged.

Think of it this way:

- the courts want to be sure that you can have direct conversations with your attorney on legal matters. That includes asking questions about the law, defending yourself, etc. and they don’t want you to have to worry about putting your foot in your mouth in the process. Because a big reason attorneys exist is because people will put their foot in their mouth constantly without help.

- the courts also want to be sure that the truth of any legal matter (with the assistance of your attorney) is found in a speedy, accurate, and expeditious manner.

So if you aren’t legitimately trying to get legal advice or help? Pound sand.
This particular version didn't exist in 1988; it's a new version Wirth derived from the native V2 version for his own RISC processor which he implemented with an FPGA board. It also uses a different Oberon language version.
I have a local clone of a git repo with many local branches. I lost an object file (and I'm not certain how). Now git gc always fails, complaining about the object:

Counting objects: 100% (11785289/11785289), done.

Delta compression using up to 64 threads

Compressing objects: 100% (4116944/4116944), done.

fatal: unable to read
1cae71a9d5b24991c0d632b45186ca8a250e5d52

fatal: failed to run repack

I've cloned the repo again, and that object does not appear in the new clone, so I assume it must be from a commit to a local branch.

The odd thing is that I think I locally cloned this repo, and saw no complaints about the missing object.

Is there any way to tell what branch and/or file(s) were referred to by the object? And, assuming its from a stale branch, just delete the branch and thereby fix my repo?
> The article doesn’t mention a number of contributing problems such as monopoly power. I want to highlight growth as such a problem.

Indeed, and it shows when you look at how and where money is invested. Transoceanic fiber cables [1]... on paper it's a Good Thing that Africa and other historically piss poor regions get access to fast Internet, no doubt there. Or that Facebook pays many millions of dollars to regional ISPs for zero-rating, which helps them build out infrastructure.

But IMO, this is not genuine. The priorities for the mega tech companies clearly are to get more users hooked to their walled gardens, as the Western markets are already saturated and no further growth of the MLM pyramid/snowball scam is possible. Receiver nations are grasping at straws, it's obvious why - they need the infrastructure and have no way to pay for it - but it's going to bite them in the ass in the mid future.

The okay thing is pretty real. I worked for a company that changed its logo so as to avoid the one they had, that was an 'okay' gesture. They were big enough that that decision cost them time and money - they didn't make it lightly.

With bowl cuts, they're not talking about 5 year olds and their moms, obviously, but grown-ass men who know better.

All people are susceptible to 'patternicity' - seeing a pattern where there is none, and it's possible they blow a few things.

But that kind of pales with him singling out the Jewish group for attention and blame.
Then one would assume that the cast components would not have been broken either.

The crumple zones in modern cars hide a lot of serious damage in a minor appearing accident. My sister in law was hit a few months ago and I was able to drive the car home with what just appeared to be a missing tail light and had to tie down the trunk.

When the auto shop looked at it they could see serious warping and bends at welds all over places in the unibody that would cost more to repair than the car is worth.

Sounds like freedom (tm) actually takes on the meaning of "the freedom to stop other people from doing things you don't like".

I wonder also if some of this is pure herd perception. Like, what if nobody personally cares that someone paints their house purple or works on their car. What if they just want to stop it because they think OTHER people won't like it and therefore won't put a bid on their house if and when they sell it. But in reality those buyers don't care either. Nobody cares, but everyone pretends they do because they think that everyone else does.
In a free market an inefficient model loses market share and gets bought out. Then it’s converted to the efficient model.

That said, firms exist with that model.

It is not problematic to put people out of business by having a superior product. It is problematic to abuse the fact that you have more money, connections, lawyers, political power, market control, customer interaction control, etc.
This is already possible, see for example Amazon Sidewalk [1].

"Why can't I rip apart the UI of an app I use every day and rearrange it the way I want?"

Because it is very hard to do something like this, so common people can do it. (you can change every html UI in theory)

I tried to make something like this and basically failed (though in the very long run I might get there eventually). GUI editors are hard to get right and the ones I liked, like Adobe Flex Builder (with Flash UI as a bonus) are gone. But those were also no newb tools. But flash itself was and that was the main reason for its success.
To be fair, I move files to my printer using an SD card every time I use it and I'm on Windows most of the time.
> FedGov would have to evaluate or interact with every sort of intra-state interaction

I don't think that's the case. It would be up to Congress. They have the authority to pass a law that says: "No state may put up any intra-state barriers to commerce at all", and that would be that.

Or they could choose to pass a law that's a lot more specific, in which case they would need to deal with each intra-state interaction.

Apple HealthKit privacy overview page: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209519

Notably, Apple mentions that your health data is end-to-end encrypted as long as you have 2FA enabled on your iCloud account. I don't see any mention of Google offering the same, which is pretty surprising for something as sensitive as health data.

If anyone has looked into this more deeply and is more familiar with the privacy risks of recording this kind of data on either OS, I'd love to learn more.

I containerized my neovim setup and I share my projects/ directory with it. Containers get a shared volume like projects/project/.

From my neomvim container I can use the local terminal or I can ssh to the host to run my other containers.
Nothing stopping you! I have git and printables etc accounts full of stuff I've designed and shared, but some folks might just want the finished thing so awhile back I hung out my hat and started a small shop selling the widgets I design and share for free.

Turns out a lot of people just want the thing, I can give the plans away and still make some extra on the side by making a few to sell.

I'm incredibly far away from being able to quit my job over this, but it has turned a few of my hobbies into slightly net-profitable ventures instead of money holes and the result is a well appointed shop to spend my free time playing around with new ideas.

My advice: give it a shot. There's nearly zero up front cost and if nothing else, you'll probably learn a bit.
It'll phone home, like every thing else.

It's 2023, we all know how the internet works.
There are still plenty of laws that are not in compliance with the digital age of the 21st century. Some laws only apply explicitly to hardware or physical or physically connected devices and you cannot extrapolate to get the law to apply from software standpoint. In some cases even “wireless” hardware such as a cell phone is legally different from a landline. One case is interfering with emergency calls being a Felony California if it’s a landline but a Misdemeanor if it’s a cell phone. That may be the basis for the drone thing but I’m just guessing.
I guess we’re back to unquestioning stenography of Tesla “breakthroughs”. My cat “could” also be an industrial breakthrough, though it is highly unlikely because he is old and lazy.
