Well sometimes though. In the case of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act the word “unauthorized” can mean basically anything the DOJ wants to pull out of their asses and prosecute. Fortunately we have courts to remove ambiguity.

No, this isn't python maintainers thinking users are too dumb.

This is distro maintainers fed up with false bug reports and broken systems caused by python's inability of versioning the packages fed to programs without venv.

WarpStream doesn't implement compacted topics today. It is on our roadmap, though. Compacted topics are typically not used in high-throughput workloads, so our plan is to delay compactions for longer than a disk-based system would to trade space amplification for write amplification.

I've found most veterinary care and meds to be very affordable. Major surgeries or specialized equipment (for large animals like horses) can be expensive.

Yeah, the schools are going to be expensive just as colleges are. Similar to med school, you're looking at high costs of educators, equipment, etc.

Historically, the point of writing 'begin' and 'end' instead of using curly braces was mostly support for non-ASCII character sets where the curly braces are not included. It's why C also has an alternate syntax using <% and %> and COBOL goes as far as writing out arithmetical operators as English text, such as DIVIDE x INTO y GIVING z.
> I've lived in many suburbs, they've always had a lot of places to go. Libraries, parks, running trails, recreation centers, sports fields, publicly subsidized water parks or pools, town square areas, public golf courses, public disc golf courses, etc.

Indeed, that suburbs offered better access to many of those things than did cities (especially poor parts of cities) used to be one of the big arguments offered against suburbs. The argument was that suburbs had those things due to racism--suburbs were mostly white and so governments built those things in the suburbs.
The separate ML.NET project has never seen much traction or adoption. Perhaps this will succeed by making it possible to port existing ML frameworks or models instead.

Actually, I made this project in 1 hour (I'll write a blog about how I did this). I'm using the audio-react-recorder NPM package to record the audio, get the blob and convert it to base64 and then, send it to my server. I'll make it open source today, by EOD. (:

_1 takes two characters per use, single-character explicitly named variables take one character per use plus 3 per variable (4 for the first), counting spaces, so you save two characters (three for the first) if the variable is used once, minus one per additional use of a variable.

With only one variable, and sometimes with very simple expressions with more than one, you probably get a readability benefit by avoiding stuttering:

{ _1 + _2 }

reads a little better than:

{ |x, y| x + y }

But with any even slightly complex expression in the block, that goes from a benefit to a cost.
And I was being rhetorically facetious. Your point is negated by the ones I brought up.
I agree. I'm honestly surprised by how much shit US farmers are willing to take from John Deere. Not to make this political, but you'd expect a group that largely votes Republican to be a bit more radical and unfair in fighting an unethical company.
OpenGL is definitely easier to learn and use than Vulkan, but it's reached the end of life so it won't be updated anymore.

I'm not sure Vulkan can ever replace OpenGL since it's much more complex and low level.

I think a better option for a beginner would be to use a rendering library like bgfx, sokol_gfx or even facebook's igl, since you can learn the basic concepts of rendering triangles and not bother too much with all the minute rendering details.

One can get an idea of the complexity build-up of the current graphics APIs by measuring how much code it takes make a triangle show up on screen.

Compared to the OpenGL fixed function days, the required Vulkan setup code is massive.
We have a very strong freedom of speech in this country, to the point its kinda insane. (See the citizens united ruling for instance)

So, yes. We cant imagine it because basically the government has extremely, extremely limited ability to control the speech of corporations or people- Essentially limited to yelling 'fire' in a crowded theatre. Aside from that, People and corporations are able to say whatever they want. They can still be held liable for defamation, breaking contracts, etc.. but you cant legislate the right away for people to say things.

Humanure is great except for all the pharmaceuticals we put in our bodies and other junk that goes down the drain. A lot of the pharmaceuticals do not break down in our bodies nor in the soil.

You should open a vet office then. Sounds like you’re well equipped to undercut competition and still make a hefty profit!

Or maybe you’re just making things up. Because we’re talking about an emergency open and close surgery to remove what’s probably a long sharp object with puncturing of the stomach. On a small animal. On immediate short notice (cancel everything else!). It’s going to be difficult with multiple doctors. And it’s going to require a lot of post surgery care.

Depends on many factors. If you are growing all your food on 1000 acres (only food for you, not selling any for cash) you can do this, and your decedents can continue until the earth/sun dies (assuming your family doesn't increase in size which is the normal thing to happen). If you are trying to do the same on 10 square feet you have a much more intensive operation and probably need fertilizer because not all processes are 100% efficient.

Some of the nitrogen in your waste won't make it back to the plants. There are other micro nutrients that plants need that won't make it back either.
thanks for the feedback, I'll dig into that Firefox mobile bug
Wow. Wild that people surely know about these extortions, and they still ostracize the victims who are their acquaintances. It almost doesn’t make sense that anyone would pay attention to the deepfakes. It’s even wilder that in light of all the evidence this generates, the call centers are allowed to exist. Finally, I can’t believe that the people in these call centers laugh and enjoy extorting others. So many things are deeply rotten in a society that allows this.

Among its many strengths, core services for running Kubernetes running inside Kubernetes itself is one of its greatest.

It's legit to leverage your pre-existing knowledge. Nomad + Linux Pets + Other Hashichorp Pets works well.

There are many ways to run an application. Kubernetes + Machine Cattle, in my experience having started from zero, is superior to any other application deployment paradigm I've ever used.
Lobbyists aren't necessarily bad. They're _supposed_ to be there to educate those who make decisions. But they go far far beyond that and we need to regulate them massively.
Actually there is something great related to that.

Despite my usual rants on how they are outdated in regards to native APIs, there is a great plus for them, WebGL and WebGPU are the only 3D APIs designed from scratch for managed languages.
How so? What I'm implying is that most families don't need a car that can drive more than 300 miles a day. And on the rare occasion that a family that doesn't drive more than 300 miles in a day has to do so, charging for 45 minutes every 270 miles or so isn't such a huge inconvenience that it justifies burning hydrocarbons the other 364 days of the year.
In my specific situation, I would have paid less money with insurance for just the diagnostics, not counting any procedures. (For a 16 year old cat.) Definitely do the math, but emergencies and diseases of old age can become extremely expensive. You may end up never needing it, but if you do, it can really reduce your costs. Personally I now prefer to pay out the $30/month and be covered for costs exceeding that, than to maybe get to keep the $30/month in the end.
I disagree. I was running Overwatch 2 (via patched CrossOver) on my M1 Pro MBP over the summer at ~110FPS at ~900p.
I'm not downplaying.

I'm looking for ways to run the numbers to validate a hypothesis that this is a really major factor and also beginning to research mitigation.

But I'm only one person. If I have to figure everything out with no help, this goes nowhere fast.
>A $300 lens is objectively better than a $5 smartphone lens.

Not sure where you are getting the $5 figure from. In any case, smartphone lenses are manufactured in vastly higher quantities than lenses for interchangeable lens cameras, so it doesn't make sense to compare the per unit cost. Modern smartphone lenses are miracles of optical engineering. See e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30557578 The cost of the R&D that's gone into enabling their design and manufacture probably couldn't have been recuperated if they were being used only in cameras.

It's not something to differentiate between them: neither is obsolete as long as somebody uses it to earn, and Pascal dialects has been evolving as well as C#, while neither deviated significantly from their roots. TypeScript (which is rather new PL) uses Pascal-style for types. Haskell, and Ocaml are niche too, and the syntax is 98% from 70s, but it still feels like a new for someone who sees them for the first time. And let's not even touch what hardcore Pythonistas think about what "old-fashioned" means.

Pascal syntax is non-mainstream nowadays, as well as Lisps, MLs, and lots of others, but neither fits to the word "archaic"

Your approach would result in impossibly large binary font sizes unless a really good (smart) engine was present and utilized to separate the hinting logic from the underlying symbols. Then again, with most fonts these days putting in zero manual hinting work and just relying on the default font engine heuristics, it might not.

I can't 'dictate' anything. I just think that healthcare, for both humans and animals isn't the place for a 'the price is whatever the market will bear' mentality. That mentality assumes the participation of cool, rational actors. People making healthcare decisions for their family or pets do not fit that criteria. I feel it's immoral to use the love one feels for their pets to extract as much as possible from the owner.

I understand you probably feel differently. Frankly you and I will probably not ever agree on this topic as we have different world views.
I think there are still a number if people who would euthanize their own animals. But to your point, it seems a large part of society has completely detected from the realities of life. How many know what it takes to grow/process food, or butcher an animal for meat, etc? No, that just comes in a package at the store...
Please no!

Don’t use Proton as API. It is a compatibility layer trying to implement what Microsoft’s implementation probably does. Use Vulkan or OpenGL if you can.

Proprietary APIs? In 2023 we shall all know to avoid them. It is not 1998.

The unfortunate move from Apple is Metal instead of going all in for Vulkan. And now they struggle and need foster native ports. They shall support itself Vulkan and improve it - and therefore improve support of Linux and MacOS.
A lot of the comments here are bemoaning the lack of third places, but don't seem to have read the intro paragraph of the linked Wikipedia article.

> churches, cafes, bars, clubs, public libraries, gyms, bookstores, makerspaces, stoops and parks

I would also mention that many planned or intentional communities explicitly include a third place -- a community building, clubhouse, country club, student union, retirement home lounges, etc.

You'll also find rec centers, YMCAs, JCCs, etc.

Don't give up on finding your "third place" just because you don't belong to a church or have a for-profit business in your area that wants you to hang out all day.

They're probably tired, scared, and unorganized. John Deere's bullshit only makes them more scared and unorganized, and not less tired. I'm sure they're not taking this shit because they're ok with it, but farmers have to take a lot of shit from a lot of powerful organizations to get by.
Unfortunately, LOGO uses dynamic scope. It could easily be a viable language aside from that one misfeature.
I agree about the misrepresentation. If it's not Drake singing, it's wrong on all levels to claim it's Drake. I'm not entertaining the idea of plagiarism. That's wrong. Don't do that.

But should it be illegal to clone Drake's voice and add it to a song I've written, as long as I don't claim it's the real Drake? I'm not so sure about that. It's generally considered acceptable to imitate a band's guitarist. Why not its lead singer? If I can record a cover of "Sweet Child of Mine" with a guitarist who can perfectly copy Slash, is it wrong to do the same with an AI who can copy Axl? It kind of feels different, but intellectually I'm not convinced.
Back in the early days of the web, the "home page" was a bit like a digital version of this...
Great info!

I waded into this territory recently when trying to find a font that I can re-distribute as a system font for a device i'm building. Apparently this is completely restricted and disallowed according to pretty much every commercial license i've read from a long list of font shop sites.

Instead, the intended use as spelled out in their commercial licenses boils down to the font buyer using it only to render graphics for printing or some other artistic use, rather than a "mechanical" use such as mine.

Even after contacting some of them, they're unwilling to budge.

After reading your post, I suspect one issue may be that some (many?) of the fonts sold on these sites are already pirated, and the site wants to protect itself from the only real copyright/legal threat of redistribution of the digital file.

I've also found that many font authors don't even intend their fonts to be used as system/pc fonts. But rather something that can be imported into Adobe Illustrator (or the like) for further design work for print and graphic images - many of the font files themselves typically only contain A-Za-z letters (sometimes only capitals!), sometimes not even numbers, and only a few common punctuation characters.

It is very much a cultural thing. I remember understanding plain as day for the first time in my life when COVID hit, that renters and owners are a distinctly separate class in the US, with the latter being protected at any cost. Homeowners received subsidy after subsidy to maintain their capital, while renters were left in the dust.

Can't pay your rent? That's a crime, and the sheriff will be knocking on your door in 30 days.

Can't pay your mortgage? That's a tragedy. Here are some local, state, and federal subsidies to take care of you. And if that's not enough, don't worry, because foreclosures take over a year anyways, and you can live there for free. Oh, and we'll be sure to give billions to the private equity firms buying up houses in your neighborhood to keep the prices artificially inflated, too.
Are you talking about fertilizing with human waste?
Maybe, a local monopoly could be a cause for concern. But is the barrier to start a veterinary practice so high as to grant them a permanent monopoly?

In this specific case being discussed, it does seem the vet business was acquired by a PE company a few years ago:

https://www.mainebiz.biz/article/portland-animal-health-star...

Note that the vet doctors themselves may have ownership in the company itself.

The other option is that advanced surgeries for animals are so costly, and the proportion of people who have the ability to pay so low, that there does not exist sufficient demand for a new vet to want to open a new hospital. In short, pet owners simply cannot afford all the pet healthcare they want.
Even outside my definition, Netflix should be considered a media company first. They spend a lot more money licensing and creating media than they do on developing tech.

Of course both media and tech are in the TMT sector, so either way Netflix belongs there.

Mutexes aren't OK even if you only use one. They are error prone, you can forget to unlock. And of course, there is a temptation to avoid using it for efficiency reasons, because you "know" this part of the code is safe.

These days I develop servers on the JVM. We almost never think about mutexes or related things, libraries take care of that. I use Scala, and our entire data model is immutable, eliminating most race conditions. I think I had to declare something as volatile once or twice.
Ditto. It's rare, but I've had situations where I've e.g. "git reset --hard" in the wrong directory or otherwise clobbered editted context, and the fact that the editor leaves a side channel to recover from is really helpful. I'd be terrified to turn this off, and in practice none of the tools I use have trouble with these files, so I don't see the advantage.
In the Netherlands there is a problem of suicide by train near mental health institutions.

So they placed fences. That left the nearby crossings where there had to be gaps in the fencing. There they placed "anti walk mats", rubber(?) mats with a pointy surface that's hard (but not impossible) to walk on.

And those two together brought down the number of suicides by a lot.
