AGPL is only concerned with source code, it doesn't address how to handle a user's data in any way. Giving you the source, while keeping your data under locks is perfectly fine under AGPL.

Meanwhile the GDPR has the concept of "Data Portability" and requires every service to allow users to export their data, so that they can move it somewhere else. As far as I know, there is no Free Software license with similar requirements. They all stop at the source code, which just isn't enough in a modern SAAS based world.

> The tools and implementation is the cheap part.

Not always true. This is a bit of a myth I myself sometimes fall for. Tools and implementation require a lot of very skilled workers to become cheap, because they must know all the traps that any language or framework implicitly or explicitly adds.

For example, I have been learning SwiftUI lately as it is sold as the new cool shiny stuff, and coming from a backend background it was nice at first, until I started fighting with xcode, "this thing is not possible yet in swiftui, so you must wrap an ns controller", etc. Now that I know these issues I am not anymore the clueless guy but I would still consider myself pretty junior in this field/technology: are you happy to have someone with 0 experience do this kind of work? Then yes, it's cheap in terms of salary and expensive in terms of time/quality of your product. The guy learns and eventually leaves to make more money.

Ps: overall I agree that requirements and dependencies are costly too. I wouldn't underestimate the costs of language/tools/technology though.

The real question is whether Wyoming should be a state at all. With 1 million distributed over a vast rural area and no real city.... ofc young people are leaving.

America has a 40x gap between its smallest and largest state. Leaving Wyoming is the same as leaving SF for San Jose in population terms.
> Land value tax does need not pretend that none of the improvements exist

That's precisely what land value tax must do. That is the definition of the tax. That is its only characteristic.

Imagine that things happen in the other order. You buy a bunch of undeveloped land somewhere. It has some assessed land value.

Now you build a city and a subway system on your land. Fifteen million people live on your land, work on your land, and commute by the subway that you dug on your land. Your land now has tremendous value. But, by definition, the land value is still the same as it was before there was anything there. The subway system didn't add to the land value. It added to the developed value.

It's specifically exploiting a bad choice made in the SAST analyzer part of the project, which is kind of interesting...as you would think that the security-minded people work on that tool.

That pattern seems kind of predictable too. You have the main product, with the main team, that probably understands things like how they use tokens for CI pretty well. Then, as the product grows, you get satellite teams to work on features outside the core. Things like this SAST analyzer, GitLab pages, Gitlab Wiki, etc. They don't have the same deep understanding of the core product. So they probably do a lot of trial and error until something works.

So I guess one lesson for the main product team is that they need to expose apis and data to these peripheral product teams as if those teams were a third party...don't give them automatic access to everything.

It matters in terms of voting and forming overall opinion. But I’d say it doesn’t matter for individual interactions. It can always be a scam.

Scientists might feel pressure to take impact factors into account when hiring. That doesn't necessarily mean that they want to promote impact factors, or that they think impact factors are good for science. It could for example mean that the university/institute has made their funding and other perks contingent on achieving certain metrics.

Blaming scientists for this is like blaming employees for poor working conditions because they signed a contract. It ignores the fact that they had no choice but to sign the contract, if they want a job.

The authors, Prof Gerardo Ceballos and Prof Paul Ehrlich, have previously found that species are becoming extinct on a scale akin to the event that wiped out the dinosaurs, and warn that the loss is a threat to the persistence of human civilisation.

“By losing all these genera, we are losing the foundations of the planet to have life in general and human life in particular. If you have a wall made of bricks, if you lose some, it won’t collapse but it won’t be as strong. If you lose many bricks, eventually it will collapse. The combination of the gases in the atmosphere that allows us to have life on the planet depends on plants, animals and organisms. People say that we are alarmist by saying that we expect a collapse. We are alarmist because we are alarmed,” he said.

“Extinction is irreversible,” he added. “From a more human-centric perspective, it’s almost impossible to predict which of these losses will have a significant impact on our own species. It’s an existential gamble we should think very hard about before taking.”

99.99...(some arbitrary significant digit)% of "game ideas" are perfectly capable of being represented in Unity or most modern game engines. For the rest, it's easier to change your concept rather than put off shipping for several years to build a competitive engine just to scratch your specific programmer itches.

Plenty of people do start their own custom engines. The problem is, a general purpose game engine of any relevant quality is comparable in complexity to a modern web browser, most game developers don't have the time or talent to handle that, and once they get past a gee-whiz renderer and maybe loading textures, they wind up in the weeds and never ship anything again.

Don't get me wrong - I've done it. I've got the corpses of several "game engines" including the ersatz one I'm building around a roguelike that I haven't and may never finish, but it isn't a satisfactory general solution for most people.
WSL is a Linux subsystem because Windows doesn't have a built in Unix flavor. On the other hand, macOS is a true Unix™ and has all these things built in.

If you specifically want to run a Linux variant (now if you are a true Unix user, you will likely compile from source or use binaries built for Darwin/macOS), you will resort to a VM which is similar to WSL. There are many ways to do this, including just installing Docker which will bring up a Linux VM for you.

Both terms are well defined within discourse in the philosophy of science (well defined in the analytic philosophy sense, not mathematical sense)

Personally the resistance I see in a lot of scientists to participating in Philosophical discussions (or even using their terms) limits what could be very fertile ground for new work for both fields

PS: whenever Philosophy is brought up, use Stanford's Encyclopedia rather than Wikipedia. A lot of niche concepts get misrepresented on the latter
I hate to agree with this. Web is the best way to cram loads of features into a limited amount of dev time.

But still, whenever I use Teams, something like this happens: I click a button, nothing happens. I wait 10 seconds, because teams sometimes just needs a little longer. Nothing happens. I click the button again, it finally starts doing something. 5 seconds later, the thing I wanted appears.

And every time it happens, I die a little inside.

One problem with this is that research on the continent is often done by research organisations that aren't covered by these assessments. Max Planck and Leibniz in Germany, CNRS, Institut Pasteur in France, EMBL, EBI, ESO etc. as European research institutes (EBI is interestingly in the UK). So if you look at research, you cannot just look at universities.
A lot of the comments here ignore the fact that Horizon membership was agreed as part of the original Brexit negotiations.

The EU have been reneging on this agreement based on the rather dubious pretext that the UK wouldn't allow them to take control over Northern Ireland.
I don't think you appreciate how H2020 (the previous Horizons Europe) worked imho.

Go make research on air purity in the UK. Buy your captors, your GPU, data storage, all that stuff.

Or,and this is crazy, participate in a project across Europe. Paris already have captors a'd the data is already accessible. Munich make their air data accessible, like Rome and Berlin. Now you buy captors for a dozen small cities accross Europe, Warsaw and London. You still only need one computer, but you can have the Italian team working on prevision, the UK team working on health outcomes with the French, and probably other team working with other use of the data.

In the end, it's cheaper, you get more data, and are able to do more with it.

[edit on response to your edit] : listen, you're the one making it a brexit thing. I've worked with UK researchers after brexit, they weren't kicked out of H2020. A team from Tunisia was a part of the research too, and they aren't in the EU. Obviously it's better to be part of research initiative than alone, I don't get your point at all in fact.

The budget for the digitization ministry was just slashed down to 1%, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

It would make sense for EU member states to collaborate more closely on the systems, since they all need to solve the same problems why not share?

Why reinvent the wheel?
When you spend a significant amount of time working on Linux servers/terminal/CLIs, being forced Windows with "there's WSL for you" answer is so infuriating. It's not the same for so many reasons (networking, disk sharing/speed, tooling, file system pathing quirks to name few).

I think taking a macroscopic view like this points at interesting types of analysis. Evolution is analogous to a hill climbing algorithm navigating towards local optima in a probability field. Macroscopic evolutionary trends give a low resolution peek into the underlying probability distributions.
Switzerland is a pretty rich country, and spends roughly 22bn CHF per year on R&D (about half that of France with around 1/8th of the population). Swiss universities are also a _lot_ better than their continetal European counterparts.
In my experience using linear search it’s easy to introduce accidental O(n^2) time complexity into a function, which can really come back to bite you.

The benchmark linked looks like the best case for linear search - searching a packed array of ints. Even then from the results after just 256 elements binary search starts to win out (comparing the optimised implementations of both). By 1024 elements the difference between O(log N) and O(N) complexity is clearly starting to dominate the results.

For more complex comparison functions, and pointer indirections (e.g. searching arrays of heap allocated objects), I’d assume the lower time complexity of binary search would dominate results even more.

"but that time scale can be millennia. In the meantime, nature can wreak tons of havoc."

I think I was saying a very similar thing, actually. I certainly agree with you on that.

Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
async is just a syntactic sugar to transform a function into the state machine you would have otherwise written. If you don't trust the compiler to perform this transform adequately, you can write a Future by hand. There are users using async/await syntax to write software for microcontrollers without dynamic memory allocation, runtimes like tokio are not a hard dependency of async/await syntax or the Future abstraction.

C++ coroutines perform the same transform, but they dynamically allocate that state machine for every coroutine (unless the optimizer can eliminate the allocation). In contrast, Rust inlines every coroutine into a single state machine until you explicitly tell it to allocate it. I don't know why C++ chose a less "zero cost" solution; I suspect the fact that they don't have memory safety and so letting you own a coroutine's state is very footgunny in C++ played a part in their choice.
The detail about using the investment fund to gain influence on the board is particularly interesting. This tactic is also used by other FAANGs as a way to evaluate (and exfiltrate) value in potential acquisitions.

Microsoft themselves seem to have fallen into a never ending extreme scale build vs buy argument beloved of current dev culture, which wants to build just enough internally to make negotiations interesting but then just use capital muscle to buy the real thing, which they will then mismanage to destruction, requiring more, and repeat. This disturbing tendency has infested so much of US business it is why I don’t see the whole manufacturing onshoring working, as who wants to do something when you can just own it?
> The problem with the GPL is that its "infectious" nature does not play nicely with how the B2B world works, where you might link against your client's in-house proprietary libraries, which even though they're never planning to distribute them, they very much don't want their own IP to become GPLed as a result.

Standard GPL FUD. Firstly, linking against proprietary libraries is fine as long as you don’t distribute the result to any third party. Secondly, no IP can “become GPLed” unless anybody chooses to make it so.
> When state is required, then PVCs and Stateful Sets come into play.

And that's the problematic part. With GitOps, you manage the infrastructure, so in the case of PVCs these are PVC manifests - you need to manage data separately.
But even if you exclude the data, even some PVC manifest changes like size change can be tricky. Also some properties are immutable (like its storage class, access modes etc.) so that you cannot modify a PVC without recreating it.

You can decide you want to avoid the problem completely and store your data outside of Kubernetes. Now you have two problems...
