Right, corporate lawyers are ideological activists trying to kill GPL. But the campaign to denigrate the ideological activists on the other side is much more successful.
It also doesn't help you use numpy arrays with C functions, which is one of the big selling points of cython.
What you are describing must have been written by someone who does not believe in software freedoms.

That seems to be a common sentiment, that preferring non-GPL projects is about exploitation, and I don’t think it makes any sense. The GPL is a contact that takes away some rights of the people using it, and that makes everyone freer? I understand the goal of wanting users to have rights that they would not otherwise have, but binding every developer in the hope of eventually binding multinational organizations seems like an awfully high price to pay.

I've made lots of money and I publish every piece of code I've ever written to do it.

If only this were the common case. I once asked Stallman if he had any ideas on how we might make that more common, and all he said was it wasn’t his problem. I agree that it’s not his problem, but the prevailing solution seems to be to avoid the GPL. I think that many people would love to hear your thoughts on it.
>not internet style architectures with end-to-end addressing.

The inside of my service is not the internet, even though my service may be exposed on the internet; why would I want internal implementation details externalized?
And here lies the problem - there’s a difference between “we have no process that associates queries and users” and “the system is specifically designed to make this association impossible”.
Oh I’m not saying people should go back into an office because of the retail and restaurant workers. It’s just this isn’t good for those workers as an upstream comment seemed to suggest.
Police can use bait cars to crack down on crime rings, which I would count as work done by police before a car is stolen.
I'm too much of a cynic to believe that this was anything, but inevitable. It's not as though countries with many parties or no parties are somehow less divided right now. And frankly when one party led to what we saw on 1/6, and that party is doubling down on that ideology, it's hard to frame them as something other than an enemy. I've never felt that way about the GOP until quite a bit into Trump's presidency, but the feeling has stuck.

At some point we're beyond both civics and civility.

In the US I've seen one house with 30amps at 240V (I also heard about a house from that era getting 30 amps at 120 volts), and it was from the 1930s with no updates. Even in the 1950s houses were getting 60 amps at 240V - which allowed for an electric stove to draw 40 amps 240V, and have enough for the rest of the house. These days small houses get 100amps, while large ones get at least 200. Very large houses sometimes get 400 amps. If you install geothermo you get 300 amps because even though geothermo is highly efficient in the worst case it can draw 80 amps at 240 volts (you only see those worst cases when doing the max power test at install time).

Unless it is a tiny house I wouldn't not expect 35amps to be enough to run a heat pump any everything else in a house (at least none of the houses I've seen in Europe, though I've only been there for a few weeks total so there is much I have not seen). Large RVs in the US get 50 amps at 240volts, while small ones get 30 amps at 120 volts - both compare to a tiny house in size.
Vimeo videos would still chug.
How does this help anything when they have already demonstrated their willingness to alter terms and retrospectively add fees or alter licensing conditions. They already walked back changes once before saying “Okay you can keep the terms you agreed on your version” and went back on that promise for this clusterfuck.

They burned the trust bridge and nothing they _ever_ do or can say will bring that trust back.
It’s not about the size. Issues result in lost sales which means lost revenue. You would want fault tolerance regardless of how big you are.
> Big load for a car is >10kW

I don't have any idea if it's relevant at all (or how much the number can be trusted), but when I floor the accelerator in my Bolt, the dash indicator says it's using about 120kW.
> Do you really think if people were as/more productive at home that companies would throw that increase in productivity away?

I think the main reason is all those expensive office towers are now sitting empty and no one wants to buy them. I bet 75% of RTO is sunk cost fallacy trying to make use of all that leased empty space.

Nobody ever mentions that TOFU requires the attacker to commit to the attack before they know whether you know the fingerprint. Somebody could set up on that public wifi and intercept ssh, but they'd be detected as soon as anybody with a previously known key tries to connect. They can't wait for you to connect to an unknown server, because they don't know what you don't know. If you're not sure about the network, you can connect to a known host first to check for funny business.

Or turn on the option for ascii art keys.

Raising prices is expected and literally every company does it, within reason. Increasing ad time, censoring shows, and forcing politics all thoroughly erode trust over time.
Given the GP's statistic, I think you could argue that raising a child fatherless is itself unhealthy and abusive. How we weigh one harm against the other is a sticky mess, but we could probably start by curbing no-fault divorces, at least when kids are involved. Let people get divorces in cases of abuse, but "we got bored of each other" divorces harm kids and the rest of society pays the price.
All of the early Internet companies I worked at were like that, up until roughly 2000: public IPs direct on the desktop. My 90's home network was also like that. I had a /24 block from the old class C "swamp" space. I still have it, actually. It's legacy space, no ARIN fees.
I certainly hope it is, but even still Project Mainline only came out with Android 10, and as of May 30, 2023, 27.8% of Android users are on Android 9 or lower, according to Google's stats listed in Android Studio. [1]

Considering there are over 3 billion active Android users according to Google [2], that's at least 834 million people who are potentially vulnerable to this exploit that will likely never receive a patch. That's awful enough by itself, but particularly terrible since the exploit could be as simple as having someone view an image. Chrome may be fixed, but there are over 2 billion WhatsApp users. [3]

An unfortunately large subset of too-comfortable tech workers have decreed the right way is to: never reinvent the wheel, always import, and avoid 'the hard stuff'.

From an API perpective, you can always use reflection to cheat past the option to create virtual threads in pre-21 (without previews) java bytecode, but you need to do more to your code than just flip the switch to support virtual threads.

A virtual thread thread pool by definition is unbound. If you're binding data to a thread (eg. Thread locals, you now have a seemingly unbound list of threads that is now effectively a memory leak). I bumped into that one a few months ago with Netty that has a per thread cache for some things (thankfully you can turn off that cache). It was creating a significantly large waste of RAM that slowed down the application alone.

The other big one is as I mentioned the synchronized limitation. If you assume naively that anything can run in a virtual thread without worries, you're opening yourself up to deadlocks or at least significantly low performance code if you're relying on libraries/code that are synchronized using java monitors.

There may be more examples of gotchas, but these two are the most notable examples I have right now.

What exactly were we talking about again? OP seemed to be saying "cops and the BBC don't care about child abusers, therefore hate speech isn't a real problem," which...seems to be missing several critical links.

I think they're trying to say that "hate speech" was invented by a hypocritical government to control people and it's not a real concern for regular folks, but that's obviously not true; it was born out of civil rights campaigns in the '50s and (eventually) adopted by governments due to popular demand.
Agreed. Flags are a type of technical debt. Keeping them as full strings in the code encourages and facilitates cleanup.

This sort of programmatic naming is a dangerous step down a slippery slope.
>A cars cooling system is designed around that and the case where you need all 150 horsepower for 5 seconds, then drive for 30 seconds at 20 horse power before slamming on the brakes (6 horsepower to run the AC) for the next red light where you wait for 10 seconds (again 6 horse power for the AC).

I'm no expert, but I can't imagine that this is true. I agree that is "average driving conditions", but there are plenty of times you're driving way outside of those conditions. That can't be how the cooling system is designed. I've never seen a car even tick up in temperature, under all kinds of tom foolery.
The Polish wholesale power price is above even what nuclear power costs to deliver in higher-cost UK and US markets on an LCOE basis (not that LCOE is a great way of comparing power costs but there it is).
This can’t be serious comment
Everything is substantially more expensive to build in the US than nearly anywhere else.

There’s a long list of reasons for this. Sadly, we can’t fix it because we have lacked real leadership for decades (pick a number).

The fitness function that drives our governmental system and process does not have a set of variables that measure good outcomes, particularly in the long term. Instead, we have devolved into a system full of idiots (politicians) lying, scheming and throwing fecal matter at each other.

As long as people keep voting for these clowns nothing will improve. And, yes, there is a point of no return.

Note that I have not identified a single political party.
For datacenters, there are many design decisions for the power supplies and what voltages to use. The obvious solution is to use commodity PC hardware, so you have 120 volts AC to the computer's ATX power supply, which generates 12 volts DC, which is dropped to e.g. 1.5 volts on the motherboard to power the CPU. But this isn't the most efficient approach. You're going to get more efficiency with higher AC voltage (e.g. 208 volts). And you're going to get more efficiency with higher DC voltage (e.g. 48 volts). And also ATX power supplies aren't optimized for datacenters, since they have a lot of historical baggage and voltages that may not be needed (like standby). So there is a lot that can be done to squeeze more efficiency out of the power supplies.

Here's a Google presentation about changing to a 48V architecture: https://www.opencompute.org/files/External-2018-OCP-Summit-G...

Google has also used new circuitry for the DC-DC conversion. Here's a paper on their switched tank converter to drop 48 volts to 12 volts: https://storage.googleapis.com/pub-tools-public-publication-...

I am skeptical, can you link to some statistics for fathers who wanted custody or visitation and were not granted that? Excluding obvious reasons like conviction for a violent crime or something.

LOL, this is so true. I have spent so many days sweatily folded into a dark corner of the bilge fixing the VacuFlush toilet system on Grandpa's boat. The pros want 5k even to look at it, and I don't blame them. IME it is the least worst of the marine toilet systems, but still a maintenance hog. Land toilets mostly just work. Marine toilets mostly just don't.

* Though I should mention I actually like the VacuFlush, it is the least worst system IME. The VacuFlush works like an airplane toilet, with the big WOOSH, it will flush anything. Negative pressure keeps bad smells contained. The downside is finding a vacuum leak can be quite a challenge.
I don’t see an option to “try before I buy” (without setting up an account) but maybe it’s there? That’d be useful to win over users. Account set up is friction
Hearing nothing was a pretty widespread feature of that product!
them citing the (excellent) Postgres documentation page count is hilarious.

We cancelled our subscription to Amazon awhile ago despite living in a rural area (where delivery is so helpful because it takes so much time and fuel to drive to get diapers, etc). There's so much to watch on PBS and from the library (DVDs; haven't tried streaming yet, and kinda don't want to if it costs libraries a lot of money). We don't have to see a movie right away when it is released.

It's okay to self-limit our entertainment options, and if you want just one source, public libraries are a cornucopia.
Some of the complexity seems to be the security theater of the lowest common denominator of customer demands. Companies invest too much money into incredibly expensive Palo Alto firewalls then demand Azure route through those too so that their cloud operations are as theatrically "secure" as their main network because look at all those amazing sunk costs invested in it.
I don't think this really matters since they all just ran Android. (and probably never updated it) A few brands might be useful for consumer choice and to keep prices low, but as long as they're all Android the choices don't really amount to much.
Did this realistic view provide you with any good results or advances in the aspects you aspire for your life?

If you can objectively convince yourself that yes, with real examples, that's great for you.

If not, maybe this realistic view is just distracting you or undermining your capacity.

For instance, people in first world countries have a lot of advantages over what I have, but I don't care. Occupying my mental capacity with that doesn't help me advance in life.

Instead, I focused on what's positive. For instance: people in first world countries created the internet, published freely available learning resources and open sourced amazing software. With all of that, I learned English (with help of pirated movies/series + subtitles -- published by first world citizens) and taught myself to code. With these skills and a few years of focused work, I now have a standard of living relatively close to a first world middle class family. That's an amazing feat in my social context and I don't care that people in first world countries get that more easily. It doesn't matter to me. Perhaps I'm even happier than they are, because the struggle makes me value even more what I have now.

The ability to read unfamiliar music while playing is called sight reading, and generally speaking it's more of an exercise than a capability relevant to actual performance.

During performance, sheet music is like a cheat sheet during exam, a reminder of something you already know. Most of the music is in your head and hand. The sheet music is just there to prevent a memory slip. Some orchestral music can be awfully repetitive, and having the page there helps you keep track of where you are. You are not supposed to devote lots of attention to the page itself, (unless you didn't practice before the performance and decides to sightread on stage, which, you know, happens).

Aren't SSH host certificates the answer? Why are they not more widely used?
Yeah, I've done quite a bit of Github scripting via octokit and it's pretty simple. Using GHA's built-in functionality might turn a five line script into a one-liner, but I think being able to run the script directly is well worth the tradeoff.

The main thing that you can't decouple from GHA is pushing and pulling intermediate artifacts, which for some build pipelines is going to be a pretty big chunk of the logic.

True of the US yes. Equally? I probably wouldn't say that. The US govt doesn't have the same control over media the the Chinese govt has. So they have to work harder to keep things out of public view. The US also has to massage the way they work to be somewhat within the bounds of the constitution.

Cars are not built to run at peak torque for long as nobody does that. Cars are design for maximum power for long enough to get up to speed, and which makes for a lot more power at peak torque than they need for running at highway speeds.

Sometimes a truck will be designed to run near peak torque while towing uphill on a hot day (AC) with a headwind, but when you do that it takes a long time to accelerate to highway speed and so truckers typically just buy more peak power (trucks are already notorious for slow acceleration). Running at less that peak torque isn't too much a loss (and diesel engines don't suffer nearly as much from running at less than peak torque so the savings doesn't add up very fast for trucks)
