And indeed both the level of union membership and the militancy of union actions supports that. Union membership cratered in developed countries and conditions have improved, and labour conflicts have gone from being outright armed in some cases in the past to being mostly relatively tame and regulated affairs.
No. The GitHub link is to Mister64. Which is an impressive WIP, but is not related to the main article linked here.

I'm most excited for the next generation of FPGA retro consoles coming in the next 6ish months. Specifically the MARSFPGA. All the existing Mister cores, plus a bunch of new stuff enabled by a better and newer FPGA. The estimated price is $700, that's reasonable for those of us with large disposable income that want the retro kit with no hassle, easy access for the kids, and high Wife Acceptance Factor.

I'm also looking forward to all the upcoming arcade cores for the MARSFPGA.
Brevo is wonderful and easy. And has some free tier going on. Not sure about how it compares pricewise at this exact instant but I reckon it's gonna save you hard-earned buckaroos (American for money).
There's an episode of one of the red letter media shows on YouTube which generally discuss films but sometimes TV, where rich Evans, one of the commentators, says something to the effect of, "if you had told 16 year old me that when I'm an adult I would be paid to watch new star wars content and that I would hate every minute of it I would have told you that you were a crazy person."

I feel like most of the marvel, star wars, star trek, etc content is designed for someone of my interests. But I mostly have zero interest in watching any of it at all. I'm not sure why this is true, but I think because it all stopped being special. It stopped being something interesting, inspiring, intellectual, or whatever it is was that makes me enjoy an episode of Star Trek tos or TNG or an iron Man comic or why star wars let me escape to a universe that I could stay awake dreaming about, writing stories about, drawing spaceships, etc.

If you like all this stuff that's fine. I just find it all so commercial. It's like I can feel someone slipping their hand in my pocket to take my money when I watch it. There's nothing about it that feels honest anymore.
I don’t know what that means. The value of money has moved in one direction, for a very, very long time. It is basically government policy, to target 2% reduction every year.
Unions are made up by their members, so this is a distinction without any meaning.
This supports my theory that the number of entrepreneurs in the crowd is quite small, by ratio.
Michael Lewis famously started on Wall Street, not journalism.
I dislike the framing here, it disempowers the team and sets up a hostile lens towards stakeholders.

As the product team, you are in general optimizing between quality, scope, and timeline. Pick values for two, the other one will be determined. So if a stakeholder communicates a timeline constraint, you can work with them to achieve it by cutting quality or scope. For example if the urgency is that they need to give a customer demo, maybe a moving skeleton prototype, or at least delivering an iteration without all the integration tests would be appropriate (quality). Or maybe you can chop the deliverable into two milestones and ship the features they urgently need sooner (scope).

I acknowledge that in some cases there is just an asshole who doesn’t know what they are talking about, trying to inject urgency. But in many cases, if you actually empathize with the stakeholder and try to figure out what they are really communicating, you can find the underlying issue and modify your deliverables accordingly. This is what it looks like to be a high-performing team.

The idea that the timeline is out of your control is asinine, and will make stakeholders distrustful, since the idea is obviously nonsense (or if it’s true, the team is adrift). I strongly advise you to never use this language or philosophy in your stakeholder interactions.

> The last failed launched caused a bunch of damage to the surrounding neighborhood...

You seem to be suggesting that residential areas were impacted, which was not the case.

> and the worst part is that SpaceX didn't even expect that sort of damage could happen.

While it's true that they didn't expect the launch pad to shatter, the damage was all contained within the evacuated 'hazard area' and their mistake did not endanger the public: "Chunks of material were blown high into the air, with debris striking at least one car near the pad. Although that sounds wild, this appeared to be within the known danger zone of the rocket, called the hazard area, which is an area along the rocket’s planned flight path that is cleared for safety."

Because as should be obvious to the most casual observer, assuming rationality combined with financially-return-focused utility functions produces a model of human behavior that bears basically no relationship to reality. (Which is more an answer to why the prior underlying your question is silly than it is an answer to the question, but...)

That was invented in 1986. It was called the VIO subsystem of OS/2, and was followed by the console paradigm of Windows NT.
I think game-making is an underrated point of entry into programming and software development in general. It worked for me!
Or it’s a practical statement on how if you have someone breaking into your house, police may be well over 15+ minutes away if they can rush straight over. Hell, there are quite a few places were response time is going to be measure in hours. Same reason it’s good to have a chainsaw and know how to use it to clear a felled tree on a road, waiting for someone to take care of it for you isn’t always a great plan.

Dictators don’t strike me as generally inclined to recommend having the capacity for self defense. I think you are just trying to come up with the worst possible interpretation of intention.
To be fair, OLE was introduced in Windows 3.x.
Of course, writing in Pascal or C++ was less fun than it would be in Oberon.
Both of those would indeed be possible mechanisms. But the point is that an efficient team would be able to share its members' private knowledge. After all, they all have the same goal, and they all know that all the information is (by assumption) true.

It's probably true that you'd expect private knowledge not to be 100% shared in the real world. But the effect size is surprisingly large, especially in such a simplified setting. Literally, the teams in the private info treatment could have just said "let's all write what we know down on paper and share it", and they'd have been in the same boat as the other treatment!
Eliciting Human Preferences with Language Models
Written in Modula-2. I had to learn Modula-2 in university. When I read the announcement that we were to use Modula I thought it was Modula-3 that was already a thing at the time. But I guess Modula-2 is good enough and an even better teaching language. It was also a bit popular on the Atari ST with the Megamax Modula compiler (and at least three other Modula compilers!)

EDIT: not written in Modula-2 but wrongly attributed by Github.
Yes, actually. I have to charge for 30-40 minutes every 5 hours or so. That fits well with my meal schedule, and most charging stations are at or close to restaurants or shops. Charging at these stations is almost as expensive as gasoline though.

I wouldn't normally drive more than 1000km in one trip though, and that's at most once per year.
If I am not mistaken, over the air radio does not have to pay royalties.
Not exactly what I was going for with my initial remarks.

> I don't really see MPL as a replacement for Apache/MIT, more as a replacement for the GPL

That doesn't really make sense. GPL is a hard copyleft license, and MPL2 is not. The latter can be seen as a replacement for the former perhaps in the sense that a person who is being charged $20+/mo for streaming video might like to see their provider to offer a $0 "replacement" instead—i.e. a change clearly to the benefit of one party with regard to narrowly delivering something it sees as desirable, to the detriment of the other party (or more accurately: without regard to the benefit or detriment to the other).

MPL2 is a great alternative for the use cases I described—where the constraints/conditions of the license are agreeable to both upstream and downstream due to the way it matches how they already interact in practice (and expect to continue interacting).

> I would love to see the MPL2 used more often instead of the GPLs

I don't see GPL as overused at all in 2023. If anything, it, too, is underused.

MPL2 and GPLv2/GPLv3/LGPL/AGPL are underused relative to the fairly new tendency to reflexively reach for e.g. the MIT License and then get stung by the consequences of doing so, resulting in formerly libre codebases getting locked down in future revisions under a regressive, non-FOSS, shared source license (or fully proprietary), when the reality is that e.g. GPL would have better suited the project from the beginning and wouldn't have led to the circumstances that ended with the owner pulling back from FOSS entirely.
In a way, that already sailed long ago. There exist rental office spaces. You get a desk, phone, internet hookup. Shared facilities like washrooms, kitchenettes, and meeting rooms. The desk might be in a shared room used by one or more other people who are unrelated. Mostly these rental offices are used by self-employed consultants, entrepreneurs or small business owners.

Yes, that's how much it is false that working from home is better for everyone. Some self-employed people pay for an office so they can get away from working at home!

Those places are good if you need a place to meet with clients.

That's exactly what cost accountants do. A large part of running a company successfully is determining the ROI of various uses of capital. The people running companies are not idiots.

The higher-level software, including parts of the OS, and all applications target a virtual machine.

"Researchers have compared the strategic behavior of groups and individuals in many games: prisoner's dilemma, dictator, ultimatum, trust, centipede and principal–agent games, among others. Our review suggests that results are quite consistent in revealing that group decisions are closer to the game-theoretic assumption of rationality than individual decisions."

Do you believe that there is a single right answer to your question, so that teams always make better decisions than individuals, or alternatively always make worse ones?

"a spontaneous day-of joke by someone whose political affiliations were open and not concealed."

Spontaneous? Look at the tweet and the elaborate preparations that went into preparing for it, replete with hat and campaign paraphernalia.

Political affiliations open and not concealed: she identifies explicitly as a Trump supporter and is clearly targeting Chinese-Americans, some of whom may not have been familiar with the U.S. voting calendar.

Here is her carefully prepared script that she reads:

"Hey everybody, this is Kristina Wong. I'm coming out, I'm a Trump supporter. I just want to remind all my fellow Chinese Americans for Trump, and people of color for Trump, to vote for Trump on Wednesday, November 9th. Really important day, we're going to show this country who is boss, and that's are man, Donald Trump. Don't forget to vote Donald Trump on November 9th. "

In my opinion, this tweet crossed a line and was aiming at influencing the election among Chinese-American voters. However, it is not surprising that the Justice Department chose not to indict her. As a supporter of the ruling party, she is apparently invulnerable. Indeed the tweet is still up.

I don't know about your situation, but at every company I've ever worked for, firing a report for performance reasons requires the employee to first be placed on a PIP. Call it whatever you want, but in most cases (from both the employee and manager perspective), a PIP is not designed with the intent that the employee should remain at the company.
As a developer you make the mistake of thinking that everyone is a developer.

Many streamers are not technically adept. For them it would be easier to use a hypothetical Chat-Combiner-Third-Party-Service, but they are banned from that.

Basically they make it harder for streamers.

Completely agree. The article says this:

"Nigeria is home to more than 300 different ethnic groups"

Followed by this:

"But you wouldn’t know this from a simple search for “a Nigerian person” on Midjourney"

So they literally asked for a generic Nigerian person instead of specifying something like a Yoruba Nigerian and complain they got a generic Nigerian person? If the model isn't trained with explicitly labeled Yoruba Nigerians, that's a training problem.
I played the 7th Guest on my Mac Centris 610 when I was 12 or 13 when it came out. Was fun and the visuals, if you can believe it, were really impressive.

There were a lot of games coming out right around that time that were essentially just large quantities of still images or video made interactive by software. Other such games included titles like Myst and the Journeyman Project. They came along right when CD-ROMs showed up, giving computers access to a lot more media storage but when they still lacked much computing or graphics processing power.
