There's a place at the border between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna named Cascate del Dardagna - this is where Italians go to cool off during the summer because it's so high up in the mountains that the temperatures are actually bearable. They were really surprised to see us - foreigners - there.

In the vicinity there's a hotel with a restaurant, the owner of which is quite the character - he doesn't have a smartphone and doesn't really use the internet. His hobbies include making liquor from blueberries he buys from his forager friend and making knives out of horns of deer he buys from a hunter friend, who provides him with meat served in the restaurant.

Italy is really something if you go off the usual path and speak the language.
I did that a few months back when there was a panic around Reddit and got in quickly, it might have helped that I posted links to my HN profile (at least they know if I get an invite I'll post something ;-) and my Mastodon and also a few sentences about why I was interested. I've had no luck though at getting into any Lemmy, however.

I have heard though from people who've sent multiple email messages to Tildes over weeks and haven't gotten in. It could be they are busy, feel full, etc. But I think talking about what you can for them is better than what they can do for you and this is true about job applications and so many things.

Unfortunately I've given out all my invites and haven't gotten any more yet.

I wonder if there's a license pegged to some meaningful metric (a hard problem unto itself), that prevents usage if the dev fund/devs are not compensated an X amount in a specified interval.

Something like an SOS License.

Support Open Source

...

All development on this project will cease to exist if dev fund does not meet "DOL Software Dev CPI adjusted Blah Blah Salary" * Number of active/approved devs.

Bugfixes will stop if dev fund falls below Y amount or something

...

Just some half baked thoughts, many conditions can be added or removed depending on the project structure/goals, but the underlying thought would be that Devs Get Paid is a key requirement in there somewhere.

Lots to consider here, but it's weird that no popular licenses have this as a clause in there - almost like it's frowned upon to ask for money?

I have wanted something similar for Python: where the execution of a function will be interrupted (i.e. via a dedicated exception) and then I can rerun it to the very same point it previously halted while none of prior side effects occur and the previous state within that function gets restored.

While I have an idea how to implement it, now after having read the article and comments here, how is this concept called? Does an implementation for Python exist already?
There are other business models that aren't ads though.
We have known for decades now that bottlenose dolphins understand language, and I mean the regularities that distinguish it from ordinary communication because we tested them with an artificially constructed one. And I mean tested comprehension rather than production. Lot easier to write off results of the latter.
The idea then that these highly social animals have the ability to understand an artificially constructed language but don't use one naturally is highly suspect. Especially when everything we can observe indicates it. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/001002...

"Comprehension, at levels far above chance, was shown for all of the sentence forms and sentence meanings that could be generated by the lexicon and the set of syntactic rules, and included the understanding of: (a) lexically novel sentences; (b) structurally novel sentences; (c) semantically reversible sentences that expressed relationships between objects; (d) sentences in which changes in modifier position changed sentence meaning; and (e) conjoined sentences (Phoenix). Additional abilities demonstrated included a broad and immediate generalization of the lexical items to different exemplars of objects; an ability to modulate the form of response to given action words, in order to apply the action appropriately to new objects, to different object attributes, or to different object locations; an ability to carry out instructions correctly despite changes in the context or location in which a sentence was given, or in the trainer providing the instructions; an ability to distinguish between different relational concepts; an ability to respond correctly to sentences given with no objects present in the tank until 30 seconds after the instruction was given (displacement tests); and an ability to report correctly that the particular object designated in a sentence was in fact not present in the tank, although all other objects were (Akeakamai).

......

The comprehension approach used was a radical departure from the emphasis on language production in studies of the linguistic abilities of apes; the result obtained offer the first convincing evidence of the ability of animals to process both semantic and syntactic features of sentences. "
I was fiercly loyal to a manager I had in the past - I now view him as a viscous (EDIT: viscious!!) psychopath. The upside is that the enormous pressure I was under was character building for me, and has helped me further my career once I was away from that situation.

Now my loyalty is hard won and entirely transactional, and I'm much happier for it.

I like to see this on a spectrum on 'reliable computation' and 'high availability' (and interruptible computing) with continuations/CallCC, checkpoint/restore (CRIU, DMTCP), VM snapshots or (live-)migration, to double/triple hardware, and even dual implementation, but also Kafka.

I find it a bit disheartening that these features are not more pervasive on language, runtimes, libraries and OSes, so very often the actual solutions are either very kludgy or very high maintenance, whereas the primitives are really interesting for many other endeavours.

I agree, I've seen good, loyal workers exploited so as to become a company squealer or someone to "get things" done.

I worked many different blue collar jobs in New Jersey as a teenager¹ in the early 2000s and I learned that every blue collar workplace has one or more of these "go-to" persons.

They're always there early AND late. They never, ever turn down requests for MORE X even if they're salaried and even if it makes their lives unnecessarily difficult.

They're often the ones most visibly damaged by the job, but they also irrationally defend their abusers. Perhaps they think that they'll be promoted one day, but why would a manager promote their best underling, especially if they've shown that they'll never be a flight risk?

>In Gallup’s data, the average teen spends about 5 hours a day on social media

"Social media" is a super vague and amorphous term. Does it include platforms like TikTok and YouTube, which are closer to the "Television/movies" category? Even Instagram has largely pivoted to Reels and influencer content over pictures of your friends. The usage of "pictures/texts from your friends"-type social media is likely to have declined over the last five years.

>American teens are also less likely to say that there is a lot of competition for grades at their school, suggesting academic pressure has not ramped up in recent years

College admissions, which conventional wisdom advertises as the next step after high school and the only path to a successful career/life, has become vastly more unpredictable over the last ten years. The amount of work (extracurriculars, "volunteering", clubs) you're expected to do for your app to look good has also significantly increased, while the expected payoff remains the same or has decreased. (Even excluding this, zero-sum games over prestige are probably depressing on their own.)

It's kinda like reddit in that there's multiple boards with a broad array of topics. A few of the boards regularly have threads with pretty extreme racism/hate. Recently the president of a Detroit synagogue was stabbed to death outside her home and there were multiple threads openly celebrating the murder. But elsewhere on the site people are sharing clips of cute cows doing cute cow things.

As a more specific example of why it's 'dangerous', a recent meme I've seen a bunch tells the reader that if they are drafted (in a theoretical future US draft), the moral thing to do is to shoot officers as soon as you get a rifle.

It looks like this particular die-off was more severe than it otherwise would have been, due to unusually warm ocean temperatures and the resulting higher caloric need for the crabs. So the cycle is natural, but the extreme depth of this particular "trough" in the cycle seems like an abnormal event.
Right, that's the point, although there have been some ideas where a self driving car could prevent those people from driving if they have been previously identified as having committed those offenses. Example, someone convicted of drunk driving could continue to be employed and travel to work (assuming mass transit is not an option) and continue to pay taxes but would not be allowed to drive. Probably impractical now but if the technology were to advance far enough then it could possibly reduce fatalities due to things like drunk driving. Just a thought.

In practice signals don't seem to be a problem for (most?) proc files as the seq_file infrastructure doesn't bother to check for pending signals and terminate the read if so.

Naturally, only source reading will answer whether the proc file you're interested in is vulnerable to this or not.
