You could say they just reverse-engineered Brio's product, and therefore it wasn't theft.

But the presence of the Brio sample wine DB appearing on MS Office boxes showed that they bought a copy of DataPivot and used that DB when developing their clone. They didn't even bother hiding the evidence.

BTW, DataPivot was released in 1991, and the only other references I've seen for prior art are a Lotus product released about the same time.
What codewords would those be?
Didn't they only give some minor concessions, not actually roll back the pricing changes?
> The D-sub connectors were pretty intuitive, as far as I can remember.

I never personally had a problem with them, but I can attest that people did. At my first job (a small computer shop), we had multiple customers who tried to jam their D-sub connector on wrong, and broke one or more pins off. Since this was back in the day when the cable was hard wired into the monitor, that generally meant they had to buy a new monitor.

You backdoored your own network by putting an Alexa on it. I wouldn't be surprised if Ring cameras pulled the same shit.

Anybody can invent random problems ad nauseam - that doesn’t prove anything.

I’m not claiming that it’s totally bullet proof, I never said that - I’m saying that if you had a kubernetes cluster anyway why not benefit from its abilities? Especially when the alternative is single node, single points of failure, which is clearly inferior.

The "what if the storage detaches" argument could easily apply to the single node VMs too, in which case the outcome would be a total system failure.

We are discussing the contrast between the articles architecture and running everything on K8s ... and I'm saying that running everything on K8s is clearly better

Indies aren't limited to single-digit sized teams, and even if they were, devs "graduate" out of indie studios into AAA ones (through growth or migration). The skillset of the next decade of new indies deliberately excluding Unity will influence the decisions made by the AAAs that they move to. Anybody too small to be negotiating custom license terms with Unity just learned that they can't be trusted.
> It's Förderung, not Forderung. Two totally different words.

You have umlauts on your keyboard, yay! Vielen Dank und viele Grüße.

> I guess the price spikes happen because demand spikes in these situations..

Seems like a lot of people, and the government, guess like you. Everyone's kinda bummed in Germany that Förderung becomes available, resellers jack prices up, Förderung ends up in the pocket of the reseller. Typical money grab. Viel Öko.

As the gov is already regulating the market, they can opt to regulate the price cap for something they fund anyway. No? Same with solar panels.

I mean, it's not like the government has their own money. People of Germany fund Förderung. So people fund it in taxes so they can get in Förderung so that a group of people gets rich on the wave of the Förderung. It would be okay if people weren't forced into this technology.

Oh, what would one give to be on the drawing board of the Klimawandel and have the first hand knowledge of what people are going to be strong-armed into. Sounds like a perfect condition to put oneself in a position to greatly benefit out of it.
While I don’t think you deserve to be downvoted for this, your comment is full of opinions that, as a game developer, sound 200% wrong to me. For the sake of curiosity… what are you talking about?
> Now everyone who is already familiar with C types has to learn your own quirky system

Oh I dunno. On one hand yeah learning a quirky system is an annoyance at times. On the other hand when you're coming from a language with a real type system dealing with custom types is standard operating procedure.

I've had to patch a lot of C over the years. I can't say I've ever been bothered by types. It's always the usual suspects; hard coded offsets peppered throughout the codebase, stack smashing, baby's first callback implementation, "parsing" that omits lexing/tokenizing, archaic business logic that may-or-may not have ever been correct.
The MSI isn’t fanless though. For a passively cooled N100 mini PC, look at the ASUS ExpertCenter PN42 or the upcoming Zotac ZBOX edge CI343. You’ll pay a bit more than for the ZimaBoard though.
If you think that shows value, that just shows you don't know value.
Not weird, just irrational. If warp drives were possible, aliens might be traveling to us before we'd invent them. That doesn't seem to be the case. There are a lot of explanations for that, including a few that involve conspiracy theories where this did in fact happen but we are being kept in the dark about it. But the easiest one would be that it hasn't happened because it isn't possible. Faster than light travel not being possible, it's unlikely for there to be a coincidence of any other intelligent species to exist within tens/hundreds of light years of our tiny little corner of the universe exactly at the moment where we hit enlightenment, steam machines, and rocketry in the time frame of about 250 years. Never say never of course but it does sound astronomically unlikely when you put it like that.

In the absence of any nearby aliens to travel to, what exactly is the value of traveling at warp speed to some desolate bit of universe? We'd get nowhere a lot faster is about the most positive thing you could say about that. Most sci-fi is premised on the notion that we're not alone and that there is this wealth of interactions (good and epically bad) to be had on the far side of any worm hole that we travel through at warp speed. But we have zero proof of that nor a way to travel in such a fashion. Or even the confirmation of the possibility of being able to do so. Fantasy and reality are not really aligned here.
Almost everything you said here is complete garbage.

uClinux has been my bread and butter back in 2010-2012 when I was running it on a mmu-less micro pfga core for an embedded industrial device. I think I brought it down way below the 789kb, at least the bzimage.

I think I was using buildroot to configure and build the kernel and busybox for all the runtime things.

I had to host a dynamic web UI on it, for which I built a custom lua "framework". Lua runtime was a 100k-something static binary that worked like a charm, and very very fast.
Thanks, yes, I was thinking along the lines of HPC type applications in industry.
Virtually all of them fail the same way. One(or more) of the individual LED diodes fail open. They are usually discolored as if they burned. I'm fixing them by replacing the diodes that failed (I desoldering them from other lights that failed). I always buy cool white Led lights and all of them use 1W diodes it seems (at least I think they're 1W, there is no writing on them).

The logit function is just a mapping from non-log prob space to log odds space. It’s the odds formula wrapped in a natural logarithm. In one way, it’s not “doing” much of anything. It’s not the journey, it’s the destination.

Why hang out in log odds space? Well, it’s a bigger space. It’s [-inf, inf], which is bigger than the [0, inf] of odds and the [0, 1] of prob. Odds space means you can multiply without normalizing. Log space means you multiply by adding. And being a natural log means you’re good to go when you start doing calculus and the like.

You can also cover a huge range of probabilities in a small range of numbers. -21 to 21 covers 1 in a billion to 1 - (1 in a billion).
I've recently changed my home network to ensure all IoT devices are on their own VLAN where they can't talk to each-other and only have access to the internet.

I see my paranoia was not unwarranted.

That being said, if I had a network printer, I would've connected it to yet another VLAN I have set up which does not even have access to the internet.

Setting all this up required quite a bit of time, effort and networking/firewall knowledge. I wonder if there's a market for providing such capabilities out of the box for the less tech-inclined privacy-conscious consumers.
And it will fail again. Companies that target indie creators really don't fit into the VC model. Their customers will riot every time they try to maximize profits.

It's not like you or I are actually going to do anything based on our limited understandings of particle physics, so fortunately it's irrelevant. But I'm not one of those people who says every year that we understand everything (until next year when some updates come out and they reiterate their position).

Contemplating why anything exists at all is much more interesting than inaccessible and incomplete particle physics anyway.
> There's going to be video-only cables; low-voltage only cables; etc and this time everything is usb-c so you can literally only tell which ables work by testing all of the dozen cables instead of the 1-2 USB-As you have.

Whether or not this happens, it will have nothing to do with USB-C's merits as a connector. You could (theoretically) have the same mess happen with USB-A connectors as well.
oh god, I was made to be an idiot when I once told someone they would need a crossover cable to do what they wanted to do a few years ago...
The irony is that you would have found the original proposition of the hypothesis, by Theodore Andrea Cook in 1903, to be exactly the same thing. Cook presented zero evidence, clearly was originating the hypothesis, and made it up from whole cloth.

It could also just be a PR move. Riccitiello is disliked among Unity customers, so you get goodwill by firing him.
While I understand your point, this comment is pretty close to trite comments like "downvote me if you want, but..." or "does anyone else..." or even the sinful "first!".

So this article is one of those pyramid scheme articles. Where they essentially say "quit your job, and just speculate on the housing market instead".

What they don't tell you is that you are buying from the people who commissioned this article.

> So we started with house hacking, a lower-cost way of getting into real estate. We planned to buy a house, live in a part of it, and rent out the rest of the home to someone else.

> We bought a five-bedroom home in Redding, California, four hours north of San Francisco. While we lived in a 252-square-foot detached guest house in the backyard, our main house was bringing in about $8,000 a month in revenue on Airbnb.

> We were basically living for free and getting paid money every month. We grew confident in real estate and saw its potential. I even set a personal goal to quit Meta once I was making $10,000 a month from real estate.

> We doubled down and bought two more properties in 2021, and by the end of that year, I reached that $10,000-a-month milestone. I then bought two more homes in 2022 and one more in 2023.

Of course, if you can do it, it's a good option. But according to what I hear around me, you are just as likely going to be feed for the experienced sharks as maintenance costs and bad tenant choices eat you up.
> If they want to dig any deeper, you're probably screwed and don't really have a chance at a sale anyway.

Once again, is this true across the board? How about questions around data security, authentication, data storage and backups, privacy...those should have solid technical answers, not "my partners and I know what we're doing". I'd run for the hills if I couldn't get a solid answer for any of those things for important enterprise software.

> About the same result as with, "I can not tell a lie. I run this business from my basement. I know nothing about business or sales or marketing cause I'm just a nerd and I've never done this before and I'm all you got". What the customer hears is, "I'm so fired if this doesn't work out".

Would you agree there's some middle ground between "I cannot tell a lie" and "I will do anything to make sure the company survives, including lying to customers"?
> simply because the number one rule in enterprise is "don't fuck with the customer's business model,"

On the other hand, the continued growth of gaming revenues, for both developers and services providers, compared to all other creative industries, is all attributable to innovations in business models. I suppose if people rocked the boat as little as you suggest, the only software being sold to game developers would be Denuvo.

I agree. People seem to imagine there's some evil cartoon character twirling a moustache figuring out how to comically oppress them, when the reality is usually a lot more mundane.
Good point. You could replace company policy with "I do offer Escrow option with a customized/enterprise plan at $x/Year with a minimum contract to compensate for the additional overhead, cost and risks that comes with setting it all up"

Then, stick to it and don't try to justify it too much.
I think you completely missed the point of his comment. C isn't a new programming language. There are well worn conventions and making custom types because you don't like them is like forking your own custom dialect nobody can understand for very little benefit.
>”RedHat customers and Unity customers make for two very different types of beasts...”

You misunderstand. They have different verticals but Jim’s mission is the same. Sell them tools at enterprise subscription prices. Per seat, per project, per shot if they can. Forget the indie game devs and their small studios. That bridge is burned beyond recognition or reconciliation.

A neat trick with gap buffers is you can track the line boundaries as indices into the gap buffer itself rather than 'real' indices into the document. In this way the indices of line starts seldom change except when the gap buffer is resized. You can then keep a second gap buffer, this one recording the start of line indices, and keep its gap in sync with cursor movement in the text gap buffer, making insertion cheap and giving a trivial way to map from line numbers to a position in the gap buffer. No trees necessary.
Can you please explain why Go isn't appropriate here?
How to Make a Cantenna (2013)
Wavelength (mm) ≈ Velocity of wave (Mm/sec) / Frequency (GHz)

w = v / f

We know v will be 300 (rounded up based on the speed of light mentioned above). For f, we need to plug in the Wi-Fi frequency.

You could just use 2.4, but in order to be a little more accurate, we will use two more decimal places. For channel 6 in the 2.4GHz spectrum, we need to plug in 2.437. Solving for w yields ~123mm.

w = 300 Mm / 2.437 GHz
w = 123.102175

Now that we know the (w)avelength for our radio (f)requency, we can begin calculating the dimensions of the can based on the guidelines mentioned previously.
I guess it's better than nothing, but this does not feel like a very CSS way of solving this problem. I think I'd rather write a separate block of styles for dark mode, the way you do for other media queries. Happy to hear why that's wrong though.
Not just investors. I had long conversations with legal about that to better understand why it is necessary. Don't get me wrong, I don't like it either but here is the deal:

- To make it a success I need to live
- To live I need to pay for food

Commercialization in OSS is pretty straight forward as there aren't many options:
- Support, managed hosting, paid plugins/features, sponsors.

With the exception of Sponsors, all of these require a number of changes to code and infrastructure that should not be public and this would not be possible without a CLA.

Ergo: CLA -> OSS Developer gets to live.

Yes, it does open the door to license changes and that is a whole other story. But what it boils down to is that funding an OSS project without a CLA is basically impossible.

Reversibility for USB 2.0 data signals is mechanical: There are data pins on both sides and only one set of pins get connected. The socket side connects both sets.

There is only one more wire in a USB-C 2.0 cable: it is used to signal orientation and if an end is a power source, sink or a headphone adaptor.

USB-3 signals are more complicated though. There can be up to two bidirectional high-speed channels. The aforementioned sensing pin is used to figure out if those channels need to be swapped or not.
So how is this "built to minimize misinfo"? Is it just because it has "real journalists", and why should a journalist spend their time posting there?

And "All of the posts on the site come from real journalists", what determines a real journalist, and do you consider every person who posts for Reuters to be a "real" journalist, and how is a bot that reposts other company's content meant to follow your "editorial policy"?

And the last one, "their livelihoods come from a reputation for accuracy" this isn't really true is it, their livelihoods come from clicks?
