> Programming is much more accessible to a much bigger audience today and we have better tools and techniques.

Much of your point seems debatable. I had a band director that was able to write a GUI app in 1992 on a 12MHz 80286 with a couple megabytes of memory. Put today's tooling in their hands and I don't think they'd be nearly as effective. Today's tools may be better by some definitions, but certainly not by all.
The need for responsive design. In 1990 you could make a pixel perfect design, that looked great on the 640 x 480 display that everyone used for everything. Today your application (i.e. your website) needs to look good on phones, tablets, laptops, etc.

All the kids that played the Pinball game that came with Windows have grown up, become hipsters, got jobs, now have a little money, and either build their own pinball machines made with LCD screens, or have legit old retro machines.

There are expo's and stuff, people love this shit. In pinball there is a real strong connection to a physical (either with LCD, or mechanical) machine, it just isn't nearly as good on a computer, phone, tablet or in VR.

> have you worked in Java before on a bad project and have scars

My guess is that the opinion is just used as a way to signal their status as a 'pro' developer much in the same way people used to hate on PHP/Perl/VB/etc. endlessly.

Ironically, this makes them look like amateurs posing as pro developers, as real pro developers demonstrate their status through their work, not their posts on social media.
Back of the envelope math using modern hypervisors that can fit loads of vms in a single U

- let’s put 500 vms on a single one. with 128c256t CPUs it’s easy

- say you can fit 30 of those in a single rack (the common rack is 42U) due to power constraints

- and place 10 of those racks

That’s 500 x 30 x 10 = 150000 nodes to address. With 10 racks you already blow past the scaling limits of the common datacenter switch when it comes to MAC addresses. Here are the limits for Cisco’s Nexus 9000 series, a very common datacenter switch: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/ne...
But that's exactly my point - it's reasonable to expect Christian Bale to 1. agree to this, 2. expect compensation if he does, 3. take legal action if he doesn't agree but someone does it anyway, 4. have people who make these face criminal charges if he gets deepfaked into some kind of child porn. You have to be a hardcore libertarian to argue for less regulation around this.

I can also understand parents of teenagers argue for more regulation - we've got enough teen suicides as is and I don't see how this tech helps with that. I can see plenty of ways it makes it worse.

But all of the above is just not a thing if the generated person doesn't exist and is hardly similar to anyone alive.

Yes. Suicide doesn't infringe on other people's rights, and in fact, everyone should have the right to it, like you see in actually free countries like Canada.

Using suicide as a safety metric is both misleading and generally in bad faith - it's usually a far better representation of mental health (generally loneliness/depression) or overall quality of life.
Could be easily solved by stating that if you used the product and your income is bigger than $x per year, you owe $1000 to the project per year. But the OS gurus convinced the developers that it should be free for everybody. Even companies that have billions in cash. Develooers are really smart but also very gullible.
My experience is that the content of those arguments often doesn't matter. This sticks out to me particularly in music discussions because those discussions have always had room for endless sanctimonious opinions. One of the most valuable things I read when I was younger on the Internet was a SomethingAwful columnist explaining how to be a fake music snob and pointing out that "people involved in music discussions don’t actually care what other people think, they’re merely concerned about the politics of domination and submission." It's not just music discussions: human discussions in general are prone to this, and when the discussion is really about the politics of domination and submission (a topic that people, usually correctly, care a whole lot about), the "real" subject matter of the discussion will become the building blocks of the social dominance exercise and its connection to the underlying thing will quickly be severed. There is no political tendency or fandom or faith that is immune to this, it's an emergent feature of humans' monkey brain hardware.

pinball in general is long overdue for a resurgence in popularity.

lots of indie games today are becoming more arcadey and pinball-like in many ways, if you squint.

in many ways, pinball is the original "roguelite"—I fully expect indie pinball (both in video game form and even in physical form) to take the scene by storm, any day now, as soon as someone makes the Vampire Survivors of pinball games.
> If quacks like a dick, it is a duck.

I assume there is a misspelling one place or another there, but, yes, much of that introductory paragraph was pointing out that fairly canonically Starfleet (or, extracanonically, Star Trek's creators) are in deep denial about the nature of Starfleet.

> Kithomer Accords, re-established between Cpt. Sisko and Chancellor Gowron, the first accords were Picard's job (could be wrong about that)

The First Khitomer Accords were negotiated between the civilian leadership of the Federation and the Klingon Empire in the wake of the disaster created by the explosion of Praxis; there was a conspiracy involving the highest levels of both Starfleet (led by Admiral Cartwright, the CinC Starfleet) and the Klingon military (led by General Chang [0]) to sabotage the negotiations, foiled by (among others) the crew of the about-to-be-decommissioned USS Enterprise-A under Captain Kirk, after he was rescued by his crew from his imprisonment on Rura Penthe, having been framed by the conspirators for the murder of the Klingon Chancellor Gorkon, who the Enterprise was to be escorting to the negotiations originally planned to be on Earth, which were secretly rescheduled and moved to Khitomer after Gorkon's assassination. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

> everything Bajor related, despite the planet being the most strategic important one in the Alpha Quadrant there was never an official embassy mentioned, everything was run by Sisko

Sisko's adoption by the Bajoran religion as the Emissary of the Prophets was frequently referred to as an issue with forced Starfleet and the Federation more broadly to deal with Bajor other than the way they would prefer to.

> - the ultimate peace treaty between the Dominion and the Federation

The Treaty of Bajor was very much setup (while the substantive content was not at all similar) to be an analog of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, signed for the US by Gen. MacArthur. (To the point of Admiral Ross directly quoting MacArthur.)

> Just from top of my head, all major diplomatic treaties have been negotiated by Starfleet personell.

Clearly not, aside from the Khitomer accords, just a couple examples of many: In "Journey to Babel" (TOS), the Enterprise is transporting ambassadors from several Federation worlds to a conference on the admission of Coridian to the federation; the Treaty of Alliance between the Klingons and the Federation had Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan as the lead Federation diplomat, referenced in "Sarek" (TNG), etc.

[0] A clearly senior military officer described by Chancellor Gorkon as "my chief of staff", but I don't think its clear whether he was the Chancellor's CoS in a sense analogous to the White House Chief of Staff to a US President or whether his role was as a military CoS, or whether the distinction between the roles is foreign to the Klingon system of the time.
software development, for 1. Nearly any use
Isn't the typical licensing model for open-source projects designed to differentiate between personal and commercial usage? Or is the real challenge that enforcing such licensing terms is practically unfeasible?
> No, I’m a blade runner character.

Where along the determinate in the matrix?
You’re getting a lot of “hot take” and sarcastic responses, but the actual answer is that they do. To use any of the USB-IF logos (including the official ones that clarify power and signal compatibility) a product has to go through the certification process: https://www.usb.org/logo-license

USB-IF also maintains a list of products that are certified: https://www.usb.org/products

The question then is, “Why is this still confusing?”. The answer is probably that the popular retail and e-commerce channels are flooded with products that aren’t certified, and consumers don’t realize that a certification process even exists.
Bold of you to assume I've had a very successful project.

You are missing the extremely important point that crypto is saturated by these types exactly and explicitly because of design decisions that are inherent in crypto!

The lack of transaction reversal is an explicit choice and explicitly empowers fraudulent activity over legitimate. What business or individual wants to lock up any value/cash/work they have in a system with zero recourse for fucking up?

In general, just providing a schema and asking for the response in JSON with few-shot examples is extremely (99%+) reliable in my experience.

I've found GPT-3.5 more than adequate at inferring schemas and filling them for conventional use cases like chat-based forms (as an alternative to Google Forms/TypeForm); my code and prompts available at: https://github.com/nsbradford/talkformai - i've also used this to extract structured data from code for LLM coding agents (e.g. "return the names of every function in this file")

In my opinion, more and more APIs are likely to become unstructured and be reduced to LLM agents chatting with each other; I wrote a brief blog about this here: https://nickbradford.substack.com/p/llm-agents-behind-every-...

There used to be a thing where cables that supported usb-3 had blue interiors to their connectors. But then some jackasses started shipping crap cables with blue connectors at inflated prices...

I don't think the usb standards body can realisticly police the labeling in any real way.

Also apple's usb-c cables w/ thunderbolt has the little thunderbolt icon on it, so at least they are labeling it (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MN713AM/A/thunderbolt-4-u...)
How would that be sensible?
This. I used to live in an area that was overrun with a biker gang and had friends who had slight involvement with them and ended up getting intimidated into giving them their nicer positions like furniture and TVs. Classic bully shit but a grown adult coming into your house and taking your shit.

I had a retail shop in the community and also lived next to a bar and a property where they would congregate and some would roll into town and stay there. Very tense environment. When I first moved there I had no idea that it was like this.

At that point I armed myself and made the decision I was not going to take any crap off anyone.

Thankfully, no one gave me any shit but I have plenty of more stories from my time there.

The only choice for me was to arm myself. The cops were scared shitless and were unreliable for other reasons. One of the gang members had already opened up on one of the cops with an AK-47 in front of my store. He lived because it jammed.
I am pretty sure it's the other way around, Intel reused their existing cores found in Atom CPUs and put them in their desktop lineup as e-cores.

"[Loss of smell] is sometimes the only symptom to be reported, implying that it has a neurological basis separate from nasal congestion. As of January 2021, it is believed that these symptoms are caused by infection of sustentacular cells that support and provide nutrients to sensory neurons in the nose, rather than infection of the neurons themselves. Sustentacular cells have many Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors on their surfaces, while olfactory sensory neurons do not. Loss of smell may also be the result of inflammation in the olfactory bulb." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symptoms_of_COVID-19#Loss_of_s...)

I'm surprised they don't seem to have an entry for one of the more recognizable mug from Star Trek - the one they drank coffee from on the Defiant in Star Trek: DS9. It was present in many episodes of the Dominion War arc.

The mug itself (a Thermos mug from the 90s) is an absolute pain to find anywhere, but I've managed to secure two of them last year (with shipping prices that would embarrass even a Ferengi) and did the necessary conversions:

Discourse is never free; in no society. The question is just what kinds of discourse are allowed. Depending on what you care about, different societies will work better or worse for you (or be more free or less free, to adopt the lingo of this declaration). In other words, "freedom" is a subjective quality that depends what an individual cares about.

My experience was very different. At my first software job in '98, there was a whole team of women in the 50s/60s that did VB. They had long careers doing COBOL/JCL before that. That entire demographic has all but disappeared from software. More people do software dev now, but they're all the same people generally and our industry suffers from this lack of real diversity.
I grew up in California, where rain was less of an issue and most landscapers I saw used open-bed pickups with all their tools. I'm currently in Oregon, most landscapers use box trailers to house everything here, which I think might be key to this.

I saw an entertaining Youtuber with a "Solar powered" landscaping business in Florida, using a box truck with a hybrid inverter/solar charge controller/battery system, to recharge his lawn powertools while driving between jobs. I see this as a much more practical solution that just having enough of "proprietary company X" battery. Keep your batteries charging 24/7 while working, essentially. Toss some solar if the climate affords it on top to charge the larger batteries used for your inverter up. Plug in the entire trailer when you get home.

>best scenario would be to get completely removed from their lists

I don't think there is any action a consumer can take to reduce the number of calls or get removed from a company's lists. There is no incentive for the company and the person who calls is as much a victim of capitalism in that moment as you are. Just two people wasting each other's time as a result of the operation of a corporate machine.
It's not unfortunate at all. Every company I've worked for has been an unbelievable freeloader on open source projects. Tens of billions of dollars in revenue, almost nothing to the projects they rely on.

I think the open source experiment has failed and that we need to embrace moving toward a compensated-commercial source model. Companies are strongly opposed to this because they can't freeload on volunteer work and other companies anymore, but it should be done.
