There are so many comments here that act like recording industry is like 2 scummy lawyers and an evil executive with a too-sharp goatee. But the truth here is that it's an absolutely massive 100 year old industry that has asked and answered this question and pretty much every other one in this thread through contracts, courts, and tradition. Their investment, as a whole, is making cool music and getting it to people while supporting the livelihood of artists (and captial).

This new wave of sophisticated content generation is raising some new questions, which is something that happens all the time (see the rise digital sampling and hip-hop in the 1980's), and as always the industry is trying to sort out how best to answer those questions in the context of what's already been established. And of course there's power jockeying as well because open questions are always an opportunity for somebody to either seize or secure a stake in whatever's coming.

This action is mostly about public "folk" outside the industry being able to too easily cloud and exploit brands by viralizing "Eminem's Rap for the Russian Empire" -- these brands have a lot of value in being particular and controlled and people's livelihoods are involved. The industry is just working to figure it out and (in some cases) trying to stomp on the breaks so they have time to do so.

That's not saying that RIAA is faultless, or that some of the power plays they'll make and that others make won't be transparent and scummy, but there's a lot of legitamate complexity here that people seem deeply invested in ignoring rather than learning about.

I love watching birds, and recently the robins and varied thrushes have been rooting through the yard like packs of velociraptors.

I don't keep a list or anything, I just like observing the local wildlife, which makes it a really easy hobby to maintain (and I hesitate to even call it a hobby more than just something that brings me a sense of wonder, like seeing stars at night).

This summer I quit videogames, thus making time for other activities like repairing my clothes, thinning our woodlot, planting native meadows in our yard, and reading a lot more again (as I did as a teenager before I had a computer). I also spend more time writing and talking with friends.

Another activity I quit and reversed is acquisition of shit/stuff (depending on perspective. Thank you, George Carlin); I've sold or (mostly, because it's easier) given away a significant amount of what I now see as clutter, physical as well as mental, given how much of my attention was being diverted by all these potential things I could be playing with. I count the "Kondo'ing" as a hobby because it's been going on for the last thirteen years. I'm down to a few boxes of journals, letters, art, and photos, along with similar on my computer, which will probably take another few years to finally reach a peaceful equilibrium.

Back to birds: I left a paint rinse bucket on the back porch last year and found one morning the local Pacific wren floating dead. They had been a regular visitor on the porch, and I feel sad every time I remember the harm my ignorance caused. I'm more careful about things like this now.
Could you expand please? I'm connecting the two via convolution but can't intuitively grasp the link yet.
For what it's worth, I am having a blast with this. Great excuse to practice foreign accents. I'm American, so US is trivial, but it's rewarding to see your fake UK accent actually register as UK accent.

Still haven't managed Australian, but as a test, I shared the website with an Australian friend, and he showed me it is possible, and that this is just a "skill issue."
This one's been around a long time. I used it when I started with Vulkan back around 2017/18? It uses glfw but I used sdl2 with it when I went through it. You'll just need to read some sdl2 documentation to get the window hooked up.

We have been using K3S in production now for 2 years. And it's working like a charm.
As someone with a very midwestern US accent, I got a much better UK score when I used my terrible Cockney accent, about 93% UK, than I did when I used my default accent, at roughly 80% US.

Interestingly, it looks like the model has quite the UK bias for words like "queen", "tea", "chips", and "pub." All words that are used pretty frequently in US English but have a clear cultural affinity to the UK. When I use sentences with these words in my casual midwestern accent, they almost always come up as 80+% UK.

I used the quotes mentioned in the link.
> Usually because they are too small

Delivery vehicles are usually larger than a carpenter's, and are already electrifying most places.

> that will also force everyone to buy new cars

"Everyone" meaning, laborers servicing that area? Strange definition of "everyone".
This is going to change how I view yuppies who tell me they rescued their dog. Was the dog really owned by abusive people before they bought it? Or was the dog owned by a family that loved it but couldn't afford a $10k procedure? Is there a tactful way to ask?

I wish I didn't know such arrangements are happening.
On a tangent. I think its worth it to push typed mathematics waaaaay down into highschool. While students are learning multiplication, the teaching tools/question/answers need to teach how that changes the result's units (types). Highschool physics especially needs to have 'proper units at every stage of calculation' as part of the test.

ps. and our calculators (& excel) needs better support for it
I was surprised he/she/they/xe/zi/zer/it thought 16K lines of C was too much to comprehend and re-write in Go. It may seem like a lot but if you're going to maintain something as complex as an encoder, it's sorta your job to know exactly how the encoding works. Also, 16K lines isn't too bad for a single person if you dedicate a day or two to it.
There is no parking in this 16 acre development. That's very different from a city banning cars.
It's a scale of 0-100 I believe.
Until any other RDBMS has the combination of now-basic features like SQL:2011, declarative schema design with terraform-like plan/apply migrations (ssdt, azure data studio, DACPAC, etc.), easily configurable hosted cloud databases, actual good MERGE syntax, and more, I'll keep using it. Attempting to use Maria was a nightmare.

I'd like Postgres more (and really want to) if they would at least implement more basic stuff like SQL:2011 and/or there was a good hosted deploy story - RDS/Aurora is fairly complex.
Nomad is an alternative to k8s, but it is not really a "lightweight k8s". Nomad and k8s are way to different to call them versions of eachother.
And the whole license thing. Nothing changed for end users.
As an old Delphi user when it was strong back in the day I still like Pascal, although my dream is to see one day Lazarus swallow other more modern languages too, say Zig, Crystal or Nim.
For comparison, there are plans to build individual 16MW wind turbines:

Though its average throughput is likely to be 10MW due to the non-optimal wind.

Typical onshore wind turbines are ~1.5MW

Usually it's forced on the backend by the frontend team.

Really, it's just more awkward than writing a straight-ahead REST implementation.

Also the error-handling semantics gets pushed to the backend, and the frontend team (who generally doesn't like handling errors) doesn't really know what to do with errors in general...so the UI design team needs to add that sort of error handling to the UI which makes everyone confused because usually there's nothing you can do about errors on the client side.

The error handling issue can be seen with this simple example: you federate 10 API calls, and 9 of them work fine. Do you return partial data? How do you indicate to the front end that there's partial data? What if the data in the 10th call is the one they need in the UI?

This implies that you need yet another state indicator that says "part of the data was returned" (if the destination was a field)...which is different than "that field was empty." And that's at a minimum.
K3s absolutely supports ipv6-only
that's true, I'll add a better explanation of how it works. thanks!
> Nomad seems to be a truly "lightweight Kubernetes" and for the small amount of time I've been using it, it seems to do it's job really well and it's easy to understand all the moving pieces without spending countless of hours reading docs and source code.

Does Nomad expose an API that you can extend with controllers running inside the cluster? Because Kubernetes without operators is not Kubernetes.
I've been full-time remote for 9 years, and the part that's really taking a toll on me is that, without third places, and without work, I have only the "first place". And that's just not enough to be healthy.
Much simpler answer: it's because of NAICS 51.

If it was easy to live in a society without drunk driving, then it would be done. Saying that some people don't get a DUI conviction is tantamount tolerating the conditions our society is in.
Games have agents that are intended to simulate humans.
Wirth went too far with Modula, case sensitivity is a bug, not a feature. He became obsessed with purity, instead of usability.

Anders Hejlsberg was the author of the best Pascal implementation, greatly enhancing Pascal until he was seduced by Microsoft and helped start the evil that is .NET and C#.

Delphi was great until Borland decided to abandon most of their user base and pursue the corporate market.

Lazarus/Free pascal is really good, except for the abysmal documentation. The very lumpy approach to creating help actively prevents incremental improvements. There's no way to just fix one page of the help.
I'm not convinced: the term archaic implies that something is obsolete or subjectively old-fashioned, not just that it's necessarily old. C# isn't archaic in part because C never stopped being relevant this whole time and because C# syntax has evolved significantly in recent years.
Is the overhead of Kubernetes worth it enough to make it smaller, presumably to run in less resource intensive environments? Docker compose fits this bill nicely and is much more simple.
the request might be cached, I'll fix it. Thanks for letting me know!
Here is what Community Notes said, feels like this is a good thing to address moderation issues...

-------------

Thank you to all the contributors who’ve been active over the last few days, helping to keep people on X informed. We wanted to share some of the impact of your work:

• In just three days, you wrote notes seen tens of millions of times.

• More than 500 unique notes relating to the attacks and unfolding events are being shown on X.

• Because of the new "notes on media" feature, these notes display on an additional 3000+ posts. This number grows automatically if the relevant images and video are re-used in new posts.

• Notes related to the attacks cover a wide range of topics from out-of-context war footage, to unrelated or outdated protest/celebration videos, to fake videos made with game simulators, to claims of US funding related to conflict, to claims about specific events having taken place in the conflict, and more.

That's actually really interesting, thanks for sharing. We're in for an interesting future hah.
Neither of those issues have anything to do with housing supply, and they're either be unaffected or exacerbated by affordable housing mandates.

The one large house + not enough houses problem is due to income inequality. Making houses scarce increases the price of houses for everyone, so it exacerbates income inequality (it is hard to increase your income and educate your kids while living in a tent). Worse, most affordable housing projects that are currently being proposed deed-restrict the housing (otherwise, unless the initial purchaser is an idiot, they'd immediately sell at a large profit). That prevents poor people from profiting off of the appreciation of property in their neighborhood that and therefore increases long-term income inequality. You also get situations where the low income housing owner can't afford to use local amenities, or maintain their house (which they bought for far less than the cost of initial construction).

The second issue (hoarding of vacant houses) can be solved with a vacancy tax.

History supports both those arguments. Can you name an example of a city where supply has exceeded demand (measured in months of housing inventory on the market) for an extended period of time (multiple years, so longer than the 2008 crisis), and that also has a housing affordability and homeless crisis?

Similarly, can you cite an example of a market where housing has been freely built and sold at a profit over the long term, and that also has a housing supply problem?

I like this game, it's very interesting. I have shared it with my friends.
> many social media users share misleading or baseless claims, including miscaptioned imagery or altered documents, in an effort to shape public perception.

It’s way more likely people are posting videos of paragliders etc. to farm engagement due to financial incentives. Very telling that a news organization states that the sharing of information is an effort to shape public perception.
Naysayers gonna help whom? Snark fully intended.
There's a lot of wheel reinvention going on in our industry.

Take Protocol Buffers. It exists because "ASN.1 sucks", but it's got all the problems that DER had, so it's really just a bad reinvention of ASN.1. In just the context of serialization formats you'll find a mind boggling amount of wheel reinvention. From S-expressions to all the 1980s RPCs (Apollo Domain, ONC, DCE, ...) to COM to all the ASN.1 encoding rules, to XML and FastInfoSet, to JSON and all the binary JSONs out there, to Protocol Buffers and Flat Buffers and... It's nuts. It goes on an on. And there's one or several RPCs for every one of these.
If you haven’t given it a try, I think Playwright is a much nicer open source offering for e2e testing and general web automation tasks. It’s the first such tool that I actually enjoy using.
What do you mean by "configuring emacs"? Despite what the article says, emacs is imminently useable right out of the box. Though you're not wrong about emacs being a black hole :)

Critisizing sophisticated tools though, that's like saying we should go back to drafting tables rather than use autocad because the learning curve is steep. Once you learn the tool it accelerates everything you do.
Having slightly different syntax seems like a poor reason to not use MS SQL.
Kubernetes is sort of like Linux. There are distributions that excel in different areas. For example, RKE2 is for those that prioritize security. It deals with compliance and security things. There are numerous distros right now. The CNCF even has a certification program and listing for the certified ones.

K3s is the lightweight distro. You can install and run it from a single binary on pretty much any Linux distro.
You could just select the accent you want to learn. I assume the purpose of such a tool would be for 2nd language speakers to learn to imitate English spoken in a specific area and/or social/cultural class.

And while yeah, there might be multiple “correct” way to pronounce the same word mixing Scottish, Midwestern, Irish, RP etc. English in your every sentence wouldn’t be ideal.
As an engineering challenge, yeah, the machine itself is super interesting. But "more road" isn't the answer to road congestion so it's a machine without a purpose (unless the purpose is propping up the oil & auto industries?).
When I was in high school units were a key part of science education. Is this no longer the case?

Your point about tools that support units is great. Reminds me of https://frinklang.org/
Playwright is far far more nice to work with. Leveraging Chrome Developer Tools Protocol it gives you so much more power. Don't even think of comparing Cypress to Playwright. Playwright is the winner in the first minute of comparison
No personal experience here, but my understanding is that expert systems were considered a type of AI and were in the early days mostly implemented as a collection of "if-then" statements.
Love to hear your thoughts on this!
> K3S is for orchestration across nodes, and by design you can't run services on the master for security reasons unless you manually change it.

That has not been my experience with k3s. Unlike normal distributions, k3s servers do allow workload to run on them unless you manually disable. From https://docs.k3s.io/datastore/ha-embedded :

"
An HA K3s cluster with embedded etcd is composed of:

- Three or more server nodes that will serve the Kubernetes API and run other control plane services, as well as host the embedded etcd datastore.

- Optional: Zero or more agent nodes that are designated to run your apps and services

"

So you can have a full HA k3s cluster with only 3 server nodes and 0 agent(worker) nodes.

There was Rotor, BSD licensed, and Mono (that now belongs to Microsoft as well, after Xamarin's acquisition).

Ironically after all of this, Miguel de Icaza is nowadays focused on Swift.
I'm generally sympathetic to the difficulties of building a sustainable business around open-source project stewardship but I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion that they were justified in this decision. The decision they've made here isn't actually much to do with the open-source project at all, and in fact, commercial products with no open-source component go through this every day. For example, every cloud provider nowadays offers "s3-compatible" storage which is built on the back of the work Amazon did early on. Currents (and co.) have taken what is effectively the Cypress protocol and built their own compatible product for it.

The benefit of being a commercial operation responsible for open-source project stewardship is that you have a low-cost marketing engine and most importantly you're able to set the direction of the project, you're able to operate at the cutting edge, delivering the best service to end users, in a way that others cannot. For example, the work Chromatic do in stewarding Storybook means their service is by far the best paid Storybook service and the alternatives (regardless of price) are rarely worth it.

If you're executives at the commercial arm of an open-source project and you're incapable of differentiating so much so that what Cypress are doing here makes sense, you've failed in your duty to shareholders and employees and should be removed. Cypress aren't protecting employee's livelihoods, they're protecting the executives in the short-term at the expense of the employees in the long term. They've bought their employees at best another 6 months with this.

There's examples of egregious commercial behaviour in open-source (like Amazon's situation with elasticsearch) where it's pretty easy to moralise about reselling free software with very little value-add. However, the entire internet is built on people taking concepts and ideas and iterating on them: building a product that is compatible with Cypress is worlds apart from ripping off the Cypress commercial arm.

I think the decision probably makes sense for the executive team at Cypress at this point in time: the writing is on the wall for the company, and taking this drastic action gives them a little more breathing room to somehow salvage a future... but the justifiable decision is to actually use their very advantageous position. If Cypress are threatened by Currents, that's embarrassing for the leadership, because they started a marathon at mile 20 while Currents was still sat at mile marker 0.
There's plenty of trees most places. Dallas has the largest urban forest in the US.

Peace in Europe is shattered. The former President of the United States has been indicted multiple times on dozens of felony charges. R&D on the killer bipedal robots + assassination drones + AI from your favorite sci-fi movies is nearing completion.

According to the SlaveVoyages project, almost 13 million people were captured and sold as slaves between the 15th and 19th centuries:

Today, 50 million people live in slavery, according to the Walk Free Foundation:

https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/findings/globa...

Are they spending "too much time staring into their phones, consuming simple carbohydrates, and being sedentary"? The "world is better than it's ever been" for those 50 million slaves? They're just not taking "good care" of themselves?

You may want to consider being hands on for a week or two in your current company. Best way would be to start a hackathon within the company or participate in outside hackathon, build something that can be useful to the company is some different tangent. Don’t just build features but something on a tangential lines or something that your team can use as a fun project.

After two weeks, you’ll likely work on it to complete the project. You can later decide if you like this more.

Few things to note with transition comes different pay scale. You may have less say in overall direction or even the best practices and standards.

I had transitioned from leading teams to IC role and had observed these things, so I can only imagine it for being a CTO to a contributor.
Every time I see someone asking where to meet people to date and then another person mentions gym you get a tons of comments bashing them about how the gym is NOT a place to find a date/gf/bf and you should absolutely not bother anyone. I mean, I understand the point, but the same is said sometimes about universities, random extracurricular classes, etc. so... where is people allowed to meet? Then we all scratch our heads wondering about the loneliness/depression epidemic and the atomization of society.
I hate pixel peeping on phone photos. Have a 13 Pro Max and it has a really weird mushy postprocessed look. I always bring an oldschool Nikon DSLR with me when I care about getting some nice shots.
