So why don't you switch to a fully progressive license? What you're saying here is "we're putting our competitors at slightly less of a disadvantage, and that's good", so why not release under a free license and not put your competitors at any disadvantage? Either you want competition or you don't. What's offensive about this to some people is that you're trying to have the best of both worlds. Pretend that you welcome competition while still suppressing it. I don't think there's anything wrong with you not giving competitors your source code, but I'd rather you were honest about it instead of using this silly half-measure.
The old Discrete Flame/Fire/Inferno systems would store backups of its sessions to tape. At the head of the back up was black and white static that was the data for the project. It would then lay down as actual video all of the mattes used in the comps as well as the actual video clips used. I only ever saw this on D1 tapes. Not sure if that's just because that's what was used, or if the uncompressed vs compressed format of DigiBeta could be used as well. Good lord, how I don't miss the bad old days of early digital computer video formats and the nightmare of pushing the boundaries to make it happen. All of those hard drives clickety-clackety pushed to their limits to record SD!!!! Now, I have an external bus powered SSD in a shell slightly larger than a cigarette lighter that can do 8K resolution video. Early 90s vs 2020
The Oculus space walk. I stood in my kitchen and my wife made a video of me as I wanted around reaching out for things, nearly falling over. It was really amazing. Maybe I am not easily impressed but that was something incredible for me.

Replit is one of those dystopian things that I hope fails.

Let’s move programming entirely into an environment where you don’t own your data, can’t duplicate or fully understand the runtime, are subject to total surveillance and the harvesting of your data for AI training and other monetization, and must pay rent forever with the constant threat of a rug pull. Great idea.

The thing I find most dystopian about it is that it’s aimed at beginners in a lot of ways. So you could have a generation raised up that doesn’t understand the idea of general purpose compute under their own control at all. Basically it’s the last nail in the coffin of personal computing.

The conclusion may be obvious to you and me (although it's hard to know for certain, since these available LLMs are black boxes). But it's definitely not obvious to everyone. There are plenty of people saying this is the dawn of AGI, or that we're a few short steps from AGI. Whereas people like Gary Marcus (who knows tons more than I do) says LLMs are going off in the wrong direction.
Ironically, if you watch youtube in incognito mode, it doesn't complain about adblockers.

Some of the people producing on youtube have arrangements for this (kofi, patreon etc); there's also one built into youtube called "superchat", but of course that relies on being logged in and giving google your payment info.
Cables are rated for data with a certain expectation of abuse. On a straight run, cat-5 UTP and cat-6 UTP are identical even though the former is rated for 100Mps and the latter for 10Gbps.

But if you bend them around a corner and pull the cable tight, the pairs in the cat-5 will become separated while the pairs in the cat-6 will stay mostly paired (electrons running in opposite directions create fields which negate each other, this is spoiled if the stands separate. Then the cable becomes noisy).

It would be similar with baud rates and phone lines. Probably the school's setup wasn't of the sort that could typically handle data, so the telco had offered them some kind of expensive alternative, but the installers had had a gentle touch, so it actually could handle data.

That, or the telco was just lying and trying to sell something the customer didn't need. Wouldn't be the first time that had happened.
I see it more deeply ingrained in martial-arts/self-defense culture. First lesson is often to avoid violence by whatever means necessary. You don't know if the thief has a weapon or backup on standby.

Germany is one of the highest taxed countries in Europe, and I'm not aware of it having particularly higher welfare than e.g the Nordics where tax levels are lower. I'm generally skeptical to people complaining about taxes, but Germany and Belgium (which is the only one I'm aware of more expensive than Germany) appear to be outliers.
In an open market with alternatives I can’t really sympathize with points of view such as “I don’t like that pricing went up so my vendor can be profitable.” If you like a product and want it to be available long term, you would want it to be a self sustaining business, not a cash bonfire.
Same reaction here. Legibility is below-average, and I don't love the look & feel either.
Heh, where I lived 56k modems were useless. The telephone infrastructure was already using some kind of cheat where they effectively doubled up the number of voice calls that went over a single wire (and I can't for the life of me remember what this is called now). The most you could ever get would be 28.8, but more likely you'd get 24,000.

Yes. That's why any kind of vacuum solution is likely a non-starter both from a technical and an economical perspective. And the 'obvious' solutions (multiple smaller evacuated chamber that connect as trains pass through) have a whole raft of safety and complexity issues and are going to increase the costs massively.
> ...All other (American) options seem to be a privacy nightmare or just too expensive...

As someone born, raised and living/working in America (but with roots from South America), and who has been at odds with my kid's school system over these precise issues, I agree, the options available from predominantly American companies and used in American schools sucks badly! While western style capitalism might make sense in some areas of society, i think education should not be so blaringly driven by western style capitalism...the incentives perverse too much the goals of education system, and to the detriment of the children being educated, the taxpayers paying into the system to enable a good education system, these same children/students who in the future will lead the society, etc. Sorry, didn't mean to make it politicial...its simply annoying for me...And, i'm usuaully the person in discussions who is not minding paying full taxes - when they're used responsibily, because i understand having a society that is as educated as possible helps the future of all society in so many ways. Ok, i'm off my soap box now. Please carry on. :-)

Even XCalc has always had trouble synchronizing the resizing of all the windows at the same time, without shitting its pants.

https://www.donhopkins.com/home/catalog/unix-haters/x-window...

That's what happened when I simply resized stock xcalc several times in a row to different sizes and aspect ratios. I wonder if they've finally figured out how to fix that bug in 35 years?

That was why I was compelled to hack an X11 window manager to take a command line argument telling it which window id to treat as the root window, then ran xcalc, discovered its window id with "xwininfo" or some such utility, then ran the window manager on the calculator, putting window frames around each of the calculator's buttons, so you could resize them, move them around, open and close them to icons, etc! That was a truly customizable calculator.
Why do you want some obscure 5Gb limit? Do you have a drawer full of 5Gb USB sticks you're trying to fill up? 5Gb is clearly larger than a CD, and too small for a Blu-ray unless you're trying to put exactly 10 of them on there.

Starting low level and evolving to a larger scope is still unnecessary work.

It's still cheaper starting off building a playwright/calls-a-rest-api test against your web app than building a low level unit test and "evolving" it into a playwright test.

I agree that low level unit tests are faster and more appropriate and if you are surrounding complex logic with a simple and stable api (e.g. testing a parser) but it's better to work your way down to that level when it makes sense, not starting there and working your way up.
And everyone else, after all Apple, Microsoft and Google are all American, and we might not always be under their good graces for export restrictions.
What changed in German society is that police and especially prosecution have been underfunded for years.

For a law to be effective it is important that a transgression is addressed with high probability and low delay ( c.f. To Command and Persuade ).

Two decades of Underfunding and therefore understaffing prosecution and courts means that is not the case anymore.

The influx of immigrants is to a degree responsible for this, since it redirected large amounts of money.

Interestingly, the severity of the punishment does not matter as much as it’s certainty. Increasing the punishment associated with a transgression is usually a consequence of the states inability to effectively enforce the existing laws.

Ever increasing penalties e.g. for forms of sexual harassment can therefore be seen as an indicator of a gradual weakening of the executive and judicial branches.
> I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen something that plugs into type C and it's not either a phone charger or a type A adapter.

By way of comparison, my experience is basically the opposite. Most of USB devices I have attached to my computers are USB-C - my keyboard, local backup disks and non-perf critical mass storage, my yubikeys, one of my monitors, network dongles. Most of the USB-A things I have around are for recharging stuff, plus old external disks I keep out of paranoia, and, things like my car's ports for connecting my phone for CarPlay.

The last one is something that annoys me about the EU's insistence on USB-C for phones. I had a bunch of perfectly serviceable USB-A to lightning cables to discard because the connectors have changed for no benefit to me. It seemed driven more by dogmatism than any practical advantages in real life. None of the shit I need to plug the phone into changed their connectors, so I just need to replace cables for no good reason.
> the costs of digging are much higher than the costs of above-ground construction

Yes, easily 3 to 10x.

> A hundred kilometer tunnel would be one of the longest tunnels ever built, and the longest train/track tunnel by quite some margin. And it would need copious safety features and auxiliary tunnels leading to the surface, even before the whole vacuum part gets added in. So it won't even completely avoid the need for buying above ground lands.

Indeed, so it's both a technical and economical non-starter. But it's not a 'dumb idea' in the sense that it is impossible. Merely impractical, too expensive and too complex and besides cheaper solutions exist (aircraft, for one, which scale much better with increasing distance than rail ever will).

One thing all of these 'dumb ideas' and the hyperloop, tidal energy and so on all have in common: they are great ways to get your grubby fingers on subsidies.
"whenever people do they fail them": I assume the antecedent of "they" is LLMs, not people.
When I was younger, I connected via 56k modem over the PBX at my parents' shop. My connection speeds topped out at 33.6k.

Under the hood, V.90 (the standard for 56k modems) expects that there's only a single digital-to-analog conversion, seen from the ISP's side. The line down from the ISP to the consumer is digital PCM until the last mile. In the opposite direction from the consumer back to the ISP, analog trellis modulation is still used. This is why you still typically only see 33.6k upload speeds on a V.90 modem.

Many PBXes will introduce an additional analog-to-digital conversion in the unit itself, before converting back to analog and putting the signal back on the wire to the street. V.90 can't tolerate that extra conversion, so a connection at 56k speeds fails, and the modem backs down to V.34 / 33.6k, which is perfectly usable on a fully analog line.
Do you also care about inverted scroll and dark/light themes? None of it matters.

Exactly!

Now, how do you think these millions of content creators get paid for their content? And why do you think they willingly upload the content to <insert here your streaming platform of choice -- YouTube, Twitch, Nebula, etc>?

Putting YouTube aside -- there's basically three options for the future of content:

1) we pay for content

2) somebody else pays for it (like advertisers), in exchange for something they need (e.g. visibility, ability to sell you products)

3) you freeload folks in #1 and #2 for as long as you can get away with, until you become the majority, and things start crumbling apart (creators stop producing, paywalls create a caste-like system, etc).

> This isn't true. A license only describes what other people can do. As the copyright holder, you can do whatever you want.

In the future. A copyright holder can’t change the artifact you are already holding.

> The FSL also depends on this. Someone releasing FSL code could easily switch to a different license at some point

Sure. At which point it no longer is FSL licensed. The code drop of today is fully open source two years from now. Nobody can take that away.
Sounds like an interesting mystery. If a human can talk, a modem can talk. It’s analog after all. Maybe the IP abstraction meant, “there’s quantization happening that makes it technically impossible for a modem to talk at any sensible baud rate. There’s still some circuit switched stuff going on here that we shouldn’t be paying for.”

Now I’m curious to see what baud rate can be achieved over today’s VOIP lines!

No evidence doesn't mean it didn't or won't happen. There is a very large canyon between something happening and evidence.

We're at the heart of it now. You don't understand evidence and don't care. This is the same type of thinking that flat earth people have. There is no evidence of that either.

When what you believe is not based on any evidence at all and only emotions, that's called religion, not anything that exists in reality.

Here are people that understand trying to explain it.

At my old university one of the intro classes moved all their students to Replit. Which might have been fine in isolation, but I think it created a year of students who struggled endlessly to use gcc, Makefiles, debuggers, or local tooling in general. Starting your CS journey with the local command line seems to put you into the perfect headspace right off the bat, even if it is a little slower to get going.

If you like watching video, the people who make and host it need to get paid somehow. There are only three real choices: don’t watch it, watch with ads, or pay to watch.

Anything else is just fooling yourself into believing that other people will work for free making the things you like and the endgame for that is unskippable ads and more content only available to subscribers behind DRM.
It requires a certain amount of setup, but it's actually easier to do with HLS than a classic MPEG stream because it's already broken up into blocks. Trying to dynamically reassemble an MPEG stream would be possible but annoying. And then there's the issue that inserting ads into the video puts them in the "timeline": if you rewound, you'd see the ad again.
When was it ever not politicized?
