In which way Epic did not treat employees like humans? I know few people at Epic myself and I've never heard them say anything but Epic being their best employer in their career, by far.

Also, how do they not treat customers like humans?

>I’m not sure an economist (a mainstream economist) would really care that much about an individual holding gold.

Roosevelt seemed to care quite a bit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102

Apparently this lasted until 1974 (not sure about the details though, I always hear about the executive order in 1933 but never about the impossibility of owning gold between 1933 and 1974 - but that's what the articles seem to say) so a lot of mainstream economists have at least implicitly agreed.

>My point is that web technologies are quite poor for building multi-platform apps, something which Flutter excels at, even as it has its own issues. I consider those a worthwhile trade-off.

I have come to the exact opposite conclusion starting out with an open mind just like you. Flutter seems like a quixotic effort to me. Bugs like the one I linked to are a confirmation of that.

>Also, web technologies do not run compiled code on every platform, they don't run compiled code on any platform, I'm also unsure of where you're making that claim from.

JIT compiles to native code. WebAssembly is another option.

France here. I do take my bike everywhere (RER, TER, TGV… I've never had a car and rented <10x in my life, at 37 y-o). But it's getting difficult to find/book a place in most fast trains, especially between Paris and Loire Valley as there are too few racks available and biking is becoming more popular. I wish all major train stations had 24/7 bike renting service, including for bikepacking.

as someone who did not upgrade for like a decade, now i feel like i can get on in early and benefit from leaps and bounds of an upgrade!

however, this offering is not really aligned with the foundation started out with imo. their decisions with the changes does not seem to satisfy the answer to "how will this promote computer science among kids?" for the most part.

i feel like the original mission is now relegated to the pi zero w, but it requires soldering for working with gpio so it leaves a lot of room for the hardware side of tinkering.

i am also curious about the m.2 hat and whether it can work with old sata ssd that match the format? otherwise old external hard drives might be a good alternative for relatively reliable long-term operation for now.

I had a read through some of the comments here and it seems to me that the predominant stance is that reports are only useful for understanding the what and the why is addressed through more focused, thorough analysis. Also, most comments mention self-serve analytics are silly because stakeholders often don't know what they're looking for or they rather have a summary.

I understand this, but I disagree with some of this or have trouble understanding how this can be applied in practice:

- Reports can absolutely be built in a way that is flexible enough to enable knowledge discovery. If instead of creating a chart that plots Conversion Rate over time, instead create a chart that plots a Primary Metric against a Primary Dimension and use parameters to allow users to choose what the Primary Metric and Primary Dimension are. This drastically reduces the maintenance costs of reports because you don't need to create more charts, rather you just need to make new data available.

- This design strategy can be expanded to Secondary Metrics, Secondary Segments and Splits to enable comparison between segments. This is a big step towards finding out the why

- If you're a big business with both a team of BI developers and a team of Data Analysts I can imagine you'll have plenty of resources to conduct more thorough analysis whenever they are needed. But if you're a startup, you probably have a few Analytics Engineers doing both BI development and analysis. How do you enable them to do both if stakeholders most often don't know what they need? You have to be efficient and I don't think that means having these few Analytics Engineers holding stakeholders hands through a series of discussions to figure out what the hell do they even need...

- Why would you not want everyone in the business to be able to discover new things in the data? Why only allow data analysts to do that? If you provide a platform that enables data exploration in a guided way to avoid wrong use/interpretation of data, isn't it best to open it up to everyone? More people looking into data = more hypotheses = higher probability that at least one of them will be proven and very impactful.

- I think there are different types of data work: setting up data architecture to collect and transform data into a format that enables easy analysis; building solutions for monitoring KPIs (the what); building solutions for understanding the drivers of KPI fluctuations (the why); advanced analytics to support decision making (the actions). My opinion is that the real value is in the last point. Whatever we can do to serve the other needs with minimal effort, we should do

How does a programming language "win" against a code minifier? Typescript and Closure compiler solve entirely different problems, they are not in any way alternatives to each other.

It's not like Typescipt somehow solved code minification in a way that made Closure compiler redundant. It's still used where it makes sense (e.g. to compile Scala.js output, although other solutions like terser.js work too).
Yeah. I profoundly disagree with RMS on many things. But as much as it pains me to say it, year after year I find myself saying "fuck, Stallman was right."
Protection from corporate espionage
The implication in my comment is that they might indeed have not paid him anything. And Fridman on principle may not have accepted payment even if offered. But who knows what type of deals go down behind the curtain in the podcasting world, it’s not unheard of to come across interviews that look like paid promotion where the podcaster doesn’t explicitly state it as such.

But my point was more really that even if they paid him 10 million, the PR would have been worth it.

>That demo was going to happen one day or another as the tech progresses

Yes, all amazing technology is going to happen eventually — no one really cares about that. They care about seeing it happen in the present, right in front of their eyes. The metaverse was mocked profusely in 2023, and we have gone through multiple cycles of “This is going to be the year of VR” in past decades. Tech stocks have been flat the last couple of months and Meta is a public company. No one on the outside would have batted an eye if they quietly shut this whole thing down after being so relentlessly mocked for the past year. So saying Zuckerberg doing this demo was inevitable after the fact is a bit flippant I think.

And if facebook did a demo with a bunch of celebrities and put it on their website I’m not sure it would have the same effect as this long interview with Fridman. It wouldn’t have the same effect on me that’s for sure. And I’m pretty sure they would have paid those celebrities.
I wanted to say exactly this (the first part, I don't care enough about Stallman to have any kind of opinion about him). In plenty of countries in the world (including UK) the age of consent in 16 (which personally I find problematic but there's nothing I can do about it). So the objection Stallman raised is not irrational. Not only was it not "forcing someone to have sex against their will" but if it happened in a different country it would have been completely legal. Of course it did not happen in another country, it happened in a country where it was illegal, so it should be investigated and prosecuted but as sleeping with an underage person not as rape.

Ok so that requires a bit of history. There's this company that makes video recorders (for your TV) called TiVo; it's not an abbreviation for anything, that's just the name.

--

Anyway, TiVo wanted to get onto the GPLv2 train like a lot of companies, but they also wanted people owning their devices to be unable to partially modify their firmware even as they distributed their copies of the firmware onto TiVo boxes. They enforced this by having a digital signature check that only allowed TiVos own software to run if the software stack was entirely TiVo. It would also work if the stack was entirely FOSS because only TiVo checked it.

For the sake of clarity; Bradley Kuhn of the SFC iirc investigated the TiVo boxes at the time, the signature checks only were an issue if you partially replaced TiVos software, not if you went the whole hog on replacing it; excercising GPLv2 rights was completely possible and you could turn a TiVo box into a XBMC (these days that's Kodi) box. You just couldn't run TiVos software ever again if you did that thanks to a hardware check.

The FSF took personal offense to this practice and dubbed it "Tivoization", which is a shorthand for "attempting to restrict the ability to install or link with Free Software via hardware DRM". (Which yes, is a modification of what TiVo actually did but really that part is just par for the course with the FSF.)

As a result, the GPLv3 includes an explicit clause that if your software is distributed in a non-code form, that you also must distribute all the information required to be able to modify that distributed software, if there's parts on the device that prevent you from doing so. (Or in plain terms: on restricted hardware, you must give up the signing keys if you preload the hardware with FOSS software.)

--

This clause is usually just called the anti-Tivo(ization) clause and it's... pretty damn controversial.
It's the main reason why the Kernel is still GPLv2 and not GPLv3; Linus Torvalds personally considers this clause to be a significant enough alteration of the "deal" that FOSS provides for the kernel, so he didn't upgrade (which to be clear would've also been very difficult since the kernel is 2.0-only, not or-later, so he'd require approval from all significant contributors at that point). It's also often cited as the main reason why the GPLv2 has/had strong corporate backing but software licensed under the GPLv3 has always kinda had issues with that; the v2 was seen as more "fair" in that companies were willing to work with its terms, while the v3 was seen as basically forcing them to give up important parts of their trade secrets and made them antsy of working with the FSF in general.

And as mentioned before, in some fields (medical is the one I know of, but I'm pretty sure there's a few others), regulatory compliance is impossible with v3 while very much possible with v2 because of this clause.
If you heat it up does it expand in volume?
"Instead, the defendant turns to generalizations about his restricted ability to meet with counsel for extended hours during the trial weekdays 2 to discuss testimony and exhibits. He asserts without any details that such participation is indispensable for his attorneys to prepare his defense. (Mot. at 2). These general complaints, which do nothing more than recite inconveniences common to all incarcerated defendants, do not render his release necessary or compelling as required under Section 3142(i). See United States v. Dupree, 833 F. Supp. 2d 241, 246 (E.D.N.Y. 2011) (finding that a defendant failed to show that his release was necessary for the preparation of his defense where he had ample time pre-detention, accommodations had been made for him to review discovery while detained, and inconveniences due to confinement were common to all incarcerated defendants)."

After being incarcerated for violating his bail conditions where he was allowed to play video games and hold court for media, filmmakers, etc. in his parent's Silicon Valley home, now he wants to be released to the custody of a security guard in a NYC temporary residence.

"Additionally, the defendants proposed release to the custody of his attorneys and then to a security guard in a temporary residence in New York City does not comply with the statutory requirements of Section 3142(i) or adequately address the specific safety concerns posed by the defendants release."
> But since the splats aren't a surface, they don't exactly have a "behind".

Spherical Harmonics apply to the whole sphere, splats can learn a SH color for their "behind". But by definition there is no data for these (no camera to tell what the color is). Nothing is preventing current pipelines to define that the opposite direction (splat looking at the camera) has a special color (black, zero-alpha, blend of blurred splats between camera and splat, etc); or to regularize all splats so that there is some amount of an "undefined" transparent component to be applied where camera won't define the SH.
The literal translations of your examples, which don't have the same meaning, would be:

You added articles (der, den) which are not present in your English examples.

> Function signatures become horrendous lists of xxx:yyy->zzz

I get it, I used to think this way when type hints were first introduced. I then tried them and completely embraced them.

I maintain a fairly large and old code base in Python where half the code has type hints and the other half doesn't. The half without type hints may look cleaner to read but so much harder to understand when every argument has to be inferred from context.
Yes the selection bias will be extreme. Then again, its worlds above the french study in regards to scientific standards. And while the absolute numbers will be off, the gender ratios and the position on the taboo scale will likely give an overall idea.

Just thought i mention it since gender preferences shouldnt be news to anyone who heard of tumblr. Kinky and degrading stuff is just not an exclusively male, or even male dominated domain. Maybe treating women like they have no agency on this is pretty sexist.

Again, none of this takes away from the concerns for sex workers safety. Once money enters the picture, consent considerations have to change and safeguards must apply. Which sites like Kink do a great job with to give a positive counterexample. Go check out the 2013 documentary by the same name¹. Here its worth mentioning that they are especially hard hit by signaling pressuring their payment processors. Its a great example for how this kind of unguided actionism by ideologues always harms the people who least deserve it. Yes they do torture porn, but they do it like it should be done.

I wish RMS all the best for his health, a long and happy life.

I also know that if he reads this, it will be from an Emacs mail client on his dusty ThinkPad in text mode (no X11 or Wayland) by sending a URL to a service he wrote that will email him the Web page back - a clean process without any using any tainted proprietary software.

He only ever exchanged one sentence with me when we had dinner together with other computer scientists two decades ago in Edinburgh: "I don't do smalltalk." - and he didn't mean the programming language. :)

Holding Gold is kinda just like holding a foreign, well accepted, currency. As many unofficially countries use dollars because they are more stable than their own currency.

You can buy and sell gold anytime at the bank (at least here in central Europe) just like any other currency.

So if you don't trust your own currency it kinda seems like a logical next step. Should the dollar crash it's likely gold won't crash at the same rate, at least not for long.
Because they invariably prioritize ideological purity over coming up with solutions that meet people's practical needs/wants. Which is commendable in some sense - I respect sticking to principles. But good or bad, the reality is that most users (even technically savvy ones) don't care about the ideological principles of RMS. They just want shit to get done.

And who would you return the land to? The original owners are no longer alive, and there is no guarantee that current descendants would be the ones actually owning the lands today.

Closure does static analysis too, the fact that the types are shoved in comments thus allowing the files to be used as-is in JS is more of a technical nuance not different from the flow programming language by Facebook, or JSDoc-driven TypeScript.

How would you make cross platform apps using web technologies, including mobile, desktop and of course web? I've tried a lot of web-based frameworks like Capacitor, Ionic, Cordova and even React Native (which isn't necessarily web tech as it's just a DSL to call out to native components), and I haven't really been impressed with either the performance or UX of any of them. They all feel (except RN) like you're using a website, not a native app, which is because that's basically what you're doing.

Thanks for the benchmarks, seems they're about even.
I don't think there's any point saying this in this way, though. Not every company will do anything it takes to hit a stock market goal, even financial engineering. Many will just work on fundamentals, and either go broke or get outcompeted or succeed.

And there are plenty of companies that aren't public companies with any stock to buy.

It just seems far too simplistic. You seem to be critiquing the times that some company use slightly dodgy financial engineering to boost their stock price. But that's not many companies, and not all the time - it's never a permanent fix. There's certainly no need to attach stock price reason to these layoffs, which are much more likely just cost-cutting measures designed to save the company a load of money it thinks is more valuable than the work of those people.
