Why would Move/Leak being tied to editions hurt compile times? Presumably old editions would have the required trait bounds added immediately after parsing, and the existing trait machinery would handle that. You'd need extra checks for error messages so you can tell people using !Leak/!Move with old code why they have extra trait bounds, but that's about that.

The Value of Public Space: What Is Hostile Architecture?
Just because the industry is used to creating a piece of art with just a stamp book (and stamp books are the hot thing right now), doesn't mean its the only way to create art. If you truly think that "we've done it, we've come up with everything we need to make games using these engines!" you lack serious creativity! If you want to LEAD the industry and not just follow it, you're going to have to step out of that comfort zone.

Not every game needs to be ANOTHER open world adventure game with crafting, an overhead camera, dialogue scenes, and click and hold menu buttons.

In the end, creating games at lower levels might inspire you to actually create something unique.

The same problem occurs in the music industry as well. Why even compose music when garage band offers audio clips you can just re-organize and loop in cool ways? Why use mics to record sound when there are plenty of already professionally recorded midi plugins for you to use?

My answer to you is creativity. Try doing something more natural and you might just create something fascinating, something nobody expected, something actually unique. Not only that, but you will be able to more fluently communicate your ideas to your audience, tweaking things exactly as you mean them to be. Not limiting yourself to the buttons and inputs in some interface.

There's always tradeoffs. These generic tools are made generic to reach the biggest audiences. But by being generic, they sacrifice the ability to be more specific, or else they become so much more abstract that they are harder to use than just writing something yourself.

I think that apple wanted to appeal to the makers at the beginning to get traction but really what they wanted was more consumers. Great hardware and long lasting but is for the elite that can afford it, most people in HN are in that elite.

That might be the implied argument, but the explicit argument appears to be the licensing a grouping of words as a work and then declaring any use of any of those words or letters in any order to be a transformation of that work without any other context or evidence of transformation is silly. We could rephrase the OP's post as:

>I found [logs of users from Paramount's writers offices reading] my blog recently. Assuming they used that data, when will they attribute me?

To see that the idea on the face is silly. OP has no evidence that any of their work was used at all, or even that what was used could even be covered under the license in the first place.

Is this really the issue that it used to be, though? I'm curious if I'm the only person who just doesn't send email much anymore in my personal life.

Yes, I get a lot of email. But it's almost all transactional or subscription. The number of emails I send or receive with other humans is pretty dang low. Most institutions these days require using their platform for communications. Most people I care about who I communicate with electronically I do over SMS or Signal or occasionally a Mastodon message.

I still own the domain, so I could easily pick up up and move to a different mail service in probably just several minutes of setting up an account and changing some DNS values. So while not fully independent, the time spent getting outbound email right is going to have less impact than other changes I could make.

It was always some version of Phonenet (Localtalk over RJ-11 phone cabling) in my experience; I don't think I ever saw real Apple Localtalk hardware!

The Appletalk protocols were excellent for small networks. It was truly plug-and-play. From the late 1980s, if there was more than one Mac in the same building, they were probably networked together. It really was as easy as connecting a cable between them. They would auto-configure, and off you went, sharing files or playing multi-user games. This was the same era of recompiling UNIX kernels to tweak NFS buffer parameters, and when the DOS world was mired in a nightmare of TSR packet drivers and Netware servers. Very ahead of its time. I do remember the impression however, that the protocols did not scale well beyond a small LAN.
It's like saying the US economy is doing great in 2010 by using data that ends in 2006.

The last 3-4 years have been awful for the median American. The "prosperity" of 201X-2019 was funded by loose financial conditions: it's basically just debt. Purely debt-driven "growth" should not be mistaken for a healthy economy. And we are feeling the consequences of that debt-driven growth now, with high inflation, recession conditions, and a global sidle away from the dollar.
Human or not doesn't seem relevant in any jurisdiction which emphasizes copyright as a means to the end of "promoting useful art", as the US Constitution does, rather than an end in itself.

The moral calculus probably changes if machines are deemed capable of producing "useful art", as granting artists temporary monopoly ceases to become the only mechanism of spurring that art.

Yeah, I think a big part of how Gates and others came into their view was that there were so many examples like Nintendo where a platform vendor had artificially limited the third party ecosystem and it constrained the success of the platform as a whole.

Basically, the Gates view was the more "correct" one for the 1980s/1990s. At that time, most people did not own personal computers, even many businesses didn't, and growth came from on-boarding these non-users. The more apps available on your platform, the more likely a non-user would be to see a reason to buy a computer at all. Also, the platform Gates was selling was much cheaper to try.

Today, everyone owns at least one computing device. Platforms aren't competing for non-users (there are none left), they are competing for users of other platforms. The Jobs view works better in that world since it improves platform quality perceptions.

It would be interesting to also "weave" in test cases. The workface of logic statements is exactly where bugs are introduced.

Especially around temporal events, and that goes to formal models (and even more bugs).

Typically, if there is a rule around height, there would be at least three tests¹: one taller, one equal to, and one shorter. (Without types or something, then also negative, null, and max/min boundary inputs too.)

So you could have tests based on timelines, like

Given a regulation is passed in 3 months
And parties are prevented from exercising B
But "17 tons" of waste are dumped anyway
And ...
When ...
Then ...

Having a model checker integrated would be a boon. Maybe we could have DevOps-like pipelines in formally-verified legislature (or at least the encoding of language to code).

Yes, indeed. If I read a history book about Charles Darwin, I'm generally aware that I am reading a particular author's portrayal of the man, his life and his times -- and that there are other books about him that may give a different slant or interpretation.

But in 10 years, when intrasight "sits down in VR for a deep conversation with Charles Darwin", there's liable to be an unspoken assumption that the interaction is somehow based on a "reality" that in fact is unknowable.
I like to turn this argument around to see how absurd it is.

Why not just take the existing law, and have a machine execute it in the style of a computer program?

We wouldn’t need judges juries or lawyers. You’d just type the specifics of your case and any supporting documents/evidence into the computer and a verdict would pop out.

Of course, the system could be used for other stuff too, like checking building code compliance or engineering soundness, signing off on military and police action, setting the executive branch’s priorities, and so on.

this is however not the story.

From my rather vague memories of Geoffrey of Monmouth - Vortigern, the ruler of a part of Britain that he probably claimed was all of Britain had a good deal of problems with the Saxons, whom he had made some disadvantageous deals with.

He was building himself a tower in Cornwall - Tintagil https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/tintagel-ca... which had some problems with the foundations.

His soothsayers said he find a young man fathered by a demon (incubus) on a virgin and soak the foundations in his blood.

So Vortigern found Merlin but Merlin was so cool he talked everyone into thinking he knew better than the soothsayers and he had them drain the foundations and there were two dragons fighting there at which point Merlin told some prophecies the gist of which I do not recall, but which caused him not to get killed and Vortigern to leave the tower and get killed shortly thereafter.

This story was basically used with embellishments making it logical and realistic in Mary Stewart's Merlin Books - I think the second one the name of which escapes me but plus 1, they are a great read if you like Merlin stuff.

> Why wouldn't a license be enforceable?

No offense, but you might want a better lawyer if you don't think there is such a thing as an unenforceable software license. At a bare minimum, consider a license that requires committing a crime in order to be compliant with the license. And copyright law and contract law are far more complex than just that.

For context, I live in middle-Europe, very close to the war, and as a result of my volunteer work with refugees, I have had extensive contact with both Ukrainian refugees, as well as Russian citizens entangled in this heinous mess.

The Russians I have spoken to about this consider that the West started aggressively arming Ukraine for this war in 2016, which was when official, overt US policies were put in place to allow it.

They identify this year as the point of no return, as "the West started officially arming Ukraine for conflict in 2016", a fact that can be observed in the US' 2016 Section 655 Report by the Dept of State. This is when US weapons first made it to the front lines.

I'm not here to argue for them - I would suggest you seek out Russian citizens and engage them on the topic, if it interests you what the other side have to say about this. I relay this merely to give context to this discussion; not because my opinion aligns with any of this.

I appreciate how California wields the power and influence of its gigantic market to bring about positive change.

Car emissions were actively poisonous before California forced CARB restrictions. Adaptation made for a rough few years but eventually the automakers figured it out and everybody benefited in the long run. The car companies would not have had the guts to undergo that exercise if left to their own devices. It's an insurmountable collective action problem - one company nerfing its powertrain means its competition will eat its lunch. But it's different when all the companies are issued the same handicap.

> Right now longjmp()ing over rust code is not a great idea for a couple reasons, but because leaks are currently always allowed in rust, it arguably follows the rules at least in some cases (doing so could cause problems, of course).

In the general case, skipping destructors of objects you don't own (through longjmp(), killing a single thread, etc.) has never been allowed in Rust: at any particular point in the program, you're only allowed to skip destructors of objects that you currently own, or can otherwise gain ownership of.

For instance, the thread::scope() API, after running the spawning thread's closure, uses a destructor* to join all the created threads. However, if a program could longjmp() past that destructor, then the spawning thread could access its variables again while the created threads are still using them, resulting in a data race. (This is the same issue that the original thread::scoped() API had.)

let mut x = 0;
let mut jmp_buf = JmpBuf::default();
if setjmp(&mut jmp_buf) == 0 {
std::thread::scope(|s| {
s.spawn(|| loop { x += 1; });
longjmp(&jmp_buf, 1);
});
} else {
loop { println!("{x}"); } /* the created thread is still changing the value of x! */
}

That is to say, longjmp() has always been a very unsafe operation, which can only be sound if you're in control of every single destructor which it skips. A Leak trait wouldn't change anything in that regard.

* Or rather, a catch_unwind() followed by a resume_unwind(), which is mostly equivalent to a destructor in this context.
It's a long video, but absolutely worth watching.

There's not a lot of detail about the software side of things, but it's fascinating to think about the number of things that have to be taken into account to take a shape from a 3D model, to a basic toolpath, to a toolpath that takes into account the elastic vs plastic deformation of the steel, the amount of force required at each point to get just into plastic deformation and no further, the deflection of the robot arms caused by that force, the deflection of the steel sheet, the variable thickness of the sheet caused by the order of forming operations... it's mindblowing.

As the guy says at the end - even with our advanced computing technology, "...it's faster to form a part than to simulate it."
