+1 Do right by the contractors by paying them properly and timely. Talk to angel investor about dissolving the company, get legal consultation and returning remaining funds and IP to the investor. Take a break for a while. Setup new startup, approach previous angel investor and contractors again, and take another swing. The lesson learnt should be not to take just anyone "officially" as cofounder unless there is some sort of validation by others. Next time, have your investor and contractors interview such a person, ask common connections, bring that person onboard as contractor first.
The traditional Unix command "philosophy" is that commands succeed quietly, using their termination status to indicate all is well. Failing quietly was never a part of it.

Chatter on success reads like a cheesy sci fi script.

A message like "incorrect arguments, use --help" can itself go to stderr. Not --help itself though.

Some GNU guidance is in the GNU Coding Standards:

That does say that --help and --version should go to standard output.

FWIW I visited SF back in 2021. I got a bunch of comments saying to never leave anything valuable in your car, but other than that it was a great trip. Stores were stocked and people were friendly.
Dyalog APL is the one I'm most familiar with; as well as its array language syntax it has procedural-style keywords for control flow[1] like if/then/else and do/loop and so on. It has OOP class syntax too, and .NET framework bindings for event-driven Windows Forms GUIs and calling C#/.NET DLLs or building APL-based DLLs for other .NET languages. So yes, but you're not writing much array style code to do those parts. As well as being usable for the back end of a webserver.

I've watched a few episodes. As someone else pointed out, they choose locations where there's not going to be much available food, e.g. early winter Alaska. So you can't draw any conclusions about the viability of getting nutrition from foraging in such inhospitable environments. I can't comment on what they could have eaten that they didn't know about because I'm not a skilled forager either. I'm certain though that someone who lived their whole life as a forager would fair better even if only because they could more efficiently harvest what little is available.

Yes, I agree. You've setup an example that emphasizes _conceptual_ understanding of what a person is thinking _about_.

This part is obvious too. But you want to take it further. I'm trying to puzzle that out next.

By that line of reasoning software companies should not be a thing at all and everyone should hire engineers and write all their software in-house. Hiring and maintaining a team of developers is hard, especially if the problem they are solving is not in your domain. Contracting a problem out to specialists is most often the more sensible option for both parties.

I think features like Google search and web scraping are really important, and you should keep adding them (like ChatGPT's official plugins). I would use Copilot for these features, but otherwise using Actions' built in ChatGPT action with Shortcuts and prompting manually also works, and it's free.
Yeah, MIDI 2.0 has per-note pitch bend. They kept with 7 bits for note numbers, though, which is kind of inconvenient. If you have an instrument with more than 128 keys, you have to do a kind of dynamic allocation thing where you find the nearest unused key and bend it to pitch.

I think for most use cases, MPE is actually simpler. (Also it's probably supported by more instruments and synths at this point.)

All the more reason to include microtuning as a supported feature in this new format.
Yes, rust is a great language. I love what it does. It also has memory leaks, because it is missing the cleanup part of the GC so it can’t deal with reference counter cycles.

Well, there is boehm if you do want to take on that complexity. But no, I am referring to the book keeping operations that are done internal to the malloc and free calls. They are largely hidden from you as the user of the API, but you still have to pay for them in runtime.

I thought rust didn’t have any safe arena allocators, but that some people make them by tricking the system with indexes instead and such, though word was they might come soon https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33403324
The export is before the signup. Nothing gets migrated without a signup.

But not making it easier to understand what was happening was an oversight, and we will make it more clear in v8.1 (as soon as this week). So 8.0 will be a 2-day release in this regard.

You can also download any previous version of Insomnia and export from there. Without an account, the data never leaves your computer either way.
It’s not feasible for modernish, large floor plate buildings. These buildings are designed around fluorescent lighting and are usually made from tensioned concrete that you can’t drill for plumbing.

Older, prewar buildings are a totally different story.

These words were almost verbatim used this morning in a meeting. A small agile ISV was purchased by one of those big "holding companies" and now everything is "for consideration", "not on the roadmap", "not strictly required", or like you said "not their current focus".

We've been raising issues like: "You're using frameworks and SDKs that went end-of-life years ago for Internet-facing security-critical components, how is that not your current focus!?" and hearing crickets in response.

Little to do with suburbs. I grew up in a suburban-like environment. Large neighborhood of single family homes, mostly ranches or two-stories, lots of cul-de-sac streets. I had friends all around, if within a few houses we'd walk, othewise ride bikes. There was a park sort of in the center of the neighborhood, we'd ride our bikes there and hang out, sometimes ride to the closest gas station to buy candy bars, etc. Moms would make arrangements to carpool kids to practices, take kids to the pool, or do other things that were farther away.

At some point we've decided instead to live behind locked doors in fear of our neighbors. I see little reason to blame suburbia or city living arrangements for that.
This looks like what bpmn and other business process rules notation really set out to be originally, but never achieved.
I respect your position but it doesn't sound like you've worked for any company that's decided to "buy in to the ecosystem" for any sufficiently large ecosystem. Get all your data in DataDog and try to leave. Build your business on IBM and see how agile you are in 25 years. Same goes for pretty much any large enterprise software, even the free ones. Good luck leaving git. Good luck de-kubernetesifying someday to a higher or lower level of abstraction.

And good luck getting the procurement department to approve your exception to not use the #blessed vendor for just your org. What happens is, everyone does that and then spends 20x more money on 5x vendors and then the other 15x is trying to integrate them all so you have a coherent business.

My experience has been, service contracts are a great way to feel a false sense of security and burn cash until you need service, and then they're a great way to sit on a phone call watching revenue burn while you say "they haven't gotten back to us yet" until they say "yeah it looks fine on our end, sorry."
Thinking about it after reading the responses, it makes sense a keypad is faster simply from reduced finger travel. Just for me personally, never so much faster having one would outweigh what I gain removing it.

Also possible I never needed to enter numbers often enough prior to learning to touch type with the num row to incentivize finding a more efficient method and once I was regularly typing a lot of numbers my num row method was sufficient.

Also while I don’t remember the exact timeline, because of my dad’s employer, Thinkpads were one of the main types of computers I used as a kid meaning I spent a lot of time growing up using built in laptop keyboards without numpads.

It’s interesting how random quirks during childhood can result in very different ways of looking at a certain topic later in life.

I definitely did a bad job explaining the kb + mouse thing. Writing code I rarely touch the mouse and if I do its for UI navigation that doesn’t support key strokes or is faster by mouse (usually stuff in a browser) so I’m mostly not using the keyboard at the same time (one exception being ctrl/cmd clicking links). I actually keep a trackpad to the left of my keyboard (I’m left handed) which I generally use to mouse during work with minimal arm movement.

The situation where I was getting shoulder issues was playing video games. Getting a compact keyboard let me move my normal hand position inward to be better aligned while playing without the risk my mouse hits the side of the keyboard. I’ve worked from home for almost a decade using the same desk/monitor/keyboard/mouse setup for work and play and since I never used the keypad anyway it was no big deal to just switch both contexts even if doing so was initially only related to gaming.
We might soon have good auto-generated music, but that won't mean that everyone else who was making music the regular way is going to stop.

Definition arguments are by their nature pointless, these concepts have no universally agreed meaning, but it's even more silly in this example where you changed the term used from "first rank" to "first rate."

Plus, all the actual definitions given there are vague enough to not actually solve the ambiguity.
This has potential!

Also I encourage you to apply your talents to the mechanical engineering space (custom on-demand parts). Many companies need exactly this UI for their products, but don't have the engineering team to do it.

Not at all. The majority of studies have found a notable decline in cognitive ability starting somewhere around the 800-1,200 ppm range. Due to increasing insulation/energy standards/etc, modern homes have poor air exchange and levels will often get that high or higher unless a window is opened. I have seen quite a few reports of people seeing levels exceeding 2,000 at night, and multiple studies showing that many multifamily/efficiency homes would easily get over that 1,000 ppm mark.

Anyway, I first read this some 20 years ago, and I get the same goosebumps now as I did then.

> US federal govt

Who is saying this?

One, it doesn’t make sense: interest payments are part of the budget. If we ask when interest will become the largest budget item, it’s around 2045 [1]. (For larger than discretionary, it’s early 2030s.)

Fundamentally, interest as a fraction of GDP is high but precedented [2]. It’s trending worryingly. But it is not proximately dangerous.

Yeah, we coslept as well. We don't drink or do drugs, so we weren't in that risk group. Neither of us has been the type to fall out of bed (which would indicate lack of physical awareness during sleep). We put the baby between us, so she wouldn't roll off. We kept the room warm so there wouldn't be a risk of heavy quilts suffocating her.

And it was fantastic. No crying, no separation anxiety. Feeding was easy, so we all slept well.
For this reason I have a zsh function in my .zshrc with bat (which pages by default, if it's longer than your console height):

alias bathelp='bat --plain --language=help'

I think you've hit the reason with the wrong cause though: because War Thunder is pretty loosey-goosey with it's model, it leaves plenty of room for the "that's BS! The real Abrams would totally have..." argument.

Whereas in a more crunchy simulation model, whether one plane beats another or something is going to be tied up in a lot more nuance.

Hahaha. When at first you don't get the validation you sought, follow up with a passive-aggressive narrative intended to evoke guilt.

FFS. Other people exist. People who pull this manipulative crap are the epitome of toxic. Notice the lack of empathy for the maintainer and what they might have going on.

It's all about how you feel when it comes to open-source communities. It selects for feeble minds you can push around through rhetoric.
What Apple probably doesn't want you to know is that you can also run these two commands to disable the notarization requirement, effectively reverting your security level to non-paranoid pre-Catalina:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security GKAutoRearm -bool false

This reveal add and select a third option, "any source", under "allow applications downloaded from".

The setting will still occasionally reset after installing some system updates because it's 2023 and computers these days are extremely unreliable when it comes to remembering user preferences.
It’s not a build artifact. The algorithm is the open source code.

Ok, I think I'm working my way towards the part of the argumentation that has a bearing on free will.

> But if thought is entirely generated, and sufficiently explained, by causal processes, it can only reflect the brain state, and can't be right or wrong.

Not so. The above claim is confusing two things: (1) how a thought is generated (causality); (2) what a thought represents (conceptualization)

Whether a conceptualization is true or false is _independent_ of its causal origins.

This is obvious to me. But not to you? Or is more miscommunication afoot?
engineers who work in large teams on some component, talk about the design with their managers? Yes you can replace them.

That's not true. The interest could possibly exceed the defense budget by the end of the decade. But not the whole budget.
Yes, it was cheaper. And lower quality. What's your point.
You could probably find tons of low productivity industrial parks to raze to the ground in most cities and build housing if zoning wasn't a thing. If everything had to compete with housing markets absent heavy top-down gov planning cities would start shapeshifting very quickly.

I usually find a derivative of this in the fine print for software contracts: "No Warranty on Software. You and your end users use the Software and any derivative works you may create based on the Software at your own risk."

The entire software stack from the bios up generally offers little guarantee, and if it does, it's often:

"The sole remedy shall be a refund up to the original purchase price."
This is a great idea. Slow leaks - especially in walls - give me nightmares! Existing solutions all come with major caveats:
Water detectors need to be spread out, and are a pain to get behind walls
Manually watching the meter is a pain in the butt, and it’s unreasonable to do it often enough to reliably catch and issue before it gets expensive
Running around the house with a moisture meter is like a more involved version of the above, with more chance for user error.

Disclosure: I work for a closed source product company, but write a lot of open source that pairs well with our product.

What a silly claim by the author.

Of course OSS wins by being cheaper (in terms of $$$ paid). I agree that cost is not the only way it wins, though. Points made by the author on how it can win:

* extensibility

* transparency

I'd also add:

* lower barrier to entry (for a subset of technical users, at least). If you want to try it, you download it.

* optionality: in the spirit of libre open source, you should be able to stand it up yourself. If things go sideways with the company providing you the OSS app, you've lowered your risk.

* if the user is a dev (the product is infra) "many eyes make for shallow bugs"

Those are all compelling arguments.

However, weighed against all of that is the profit motive and sustainability of a business. People, even software devs, like to eat :) . And businesses need to make money to employ people and push a product forward.

Honestly, I don't think we've figured out how to build a pure big open source business outside of the following business models:

* consulting/support (Redhat); pursuing this has poorer margins

* loss leader for another service (like VSCode for the MS ecosystem). this isn't really a pure OSS business model

* hosting/SaaS (but the clouds impinge; I opined a few years ago on this: https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/3438 )

(I'm leaving out open core or SSPL companies because I don't consider them to be 'pure' OSS companies, myself.)

Maybe the answer is that we can't have a big open source business. Maybe smaller ones are just fine. I'd avoid VC though, in that case. Most don't like smaller businesses.

FYI, you can also have some of the beneficial attributes of OSS:

* transparency through clear communication and docs

* extensibility through clear, stable APIs and docs

even with a closed source company. Software companies have lots to learn from OSS as a development process.
