Everyone else is talking about bend radius but as someone who has abused fiber (just your standard cheap 10Gtek patch cables from Amazon) that's not the problem, modern fiber is quite bend-resistant.

The problem is the ends. Inside each fiber plug is an exposed fiber. Dust is a huge problem if you expect users to toss the cables in their bag, and worse is damage to the exposed ends of the fiber which can get chipped and then then in turn damage the exposed fiber in the device you're plugging into.

It would be cool if instead of those active Corning cables you could just get an active Thunderbolt-to-SMF plug, and then bring your own cables. Then the expensive part (the conversion circuitry and optical transceiver) can be reused for different applications and you just replace the cheap fiber with whatever length you want (or use pre-existing fiber in your home and update the optical transceivers when a new standard comes out and not have to re-wire)

edit: thinking about it more, it would have been a lot cooler if instead of thunderbolt we just got a better Ethernet. Then we could use any medium we wanted to.

You are doing the same mistake as the other poster: claiming the consequent. I could also say that my magical transformation process produces code which is not Microsoft's, even when it obviously ingests code that is Microsoft's. Why would your method be stripping copyright protection while mine wouldn't? What's the difference from what you are claiming?

Frankly at this point I just want to point out that if in your world view this is allowed, then _all_ software copyright is pointless, since anyone could apply the same rationale to any program in the world. What's the point of the GPL on such world?
Imagine a democracy in which you vote your IQ from an official test. If your IQ was measured at 114 your vote counts 114 times, etc. This seems obviously unfair. But would it improve the results? My intuition fails me here, I can't predict.

I wonder if that rule would have swung Brexit the other way? That would give an idea of the magnitude of the difference.

Optimizing Digikey prices is a bit of an oxymoron, isn't it? They're expensive because they're fast.

I also created a performance test with Ebitengine, like I have done for many 2d engines/rendering libraries in the past. Typically I like to test performance with the web/WASM target. More often than not, even just a few rotating sprites will result in some dropped frames. I was extremely surprised at just how insanely smooth Ebitengine performed. For my purposes it was the second most performant engine/rendering library, second only to Kha. Being new to Go I was also blown away how simple it was to just copy memory around and create Braid-like time travel, as well as the exceptionally simple build process. Rust and Bevy get a lot of mentions on Hacker News, but I think Go and Ebitengine will be my next choice to build my next game.

Why wouldn’t it be? The exclusive purpose of crypto is to circumvent existing regulation for financial transfers. The US government would obviously not be so rosy about that idea, nor would it recognize the “sovereignty” of crypto such that its laws would not apply.
That’s not what he’s saying. The statement is that he’s free to manipulate his computer as his property and since all the data that resides on it. There are exceptions to this, namely when it comes to infringing on the rights of others, but with the case of client side data the argument stands true.

The flaw in your thinking comes from not knowing that one can acknowledge property rights without the notion that anything can be done with their property. A baseball bat may be mine but it doesn’t mean I have the right to hit someone else’s property with it. I can, however, paint, carve, or otherwise destroy my bat without serious consequence.

Dietary fibre is a GLP-1 agonist, so if people ate enough fibre for the amount of calories they ate, no one except those with thyroid disorders would be overweight. This drug won't help with thyroid disorders. This drug will have long term side effects that are as bad as being overweight. Therefore, this drug should not be necessary, except that people won't eat enough fibre.
There's no evidence that people with a higher IQ do better at choosing where to vote on the ballot. Germany, for example, was a highly educated society in the 1930s, one of the most educated in the world. They voted for Hitler.

The whole problem is that some of what they do adds value, because it turns out the banking industry as a whole has some valuable functions that people need.
Interesting although not entirely surprising results.

Some aspects of the results were hard for me to interpret though. Although some risk seemed to increase in a dose dependent way, some didn't. For example, with refined grains once you got out of the lowest quintile, your risk went up but it didn't seem to be dose dependent. So the gains were in eliminating refined grains or not? Sugar consumption though was different: there seemed to be gains to any reduction in sugar. I wonder if those kinds of nonlinearities would replicate or not.

I'm not sure the book is actually about bash specifically, but let's talk about shells anyway.

The existence of zsh makes it all a pretty unsatisfactory situation currently. (Btw re. my own level I know the answer to most of the questions posed in the article).

I'd be fine learning either bash or zsh to an advanced level, but learning both to an advanced level sounds bonkers. So I've vaguely come to the conclusion that perhaps that means learning zsh well as a command line tool, and then limiting ones shell scripts to a sane subset of bash that is sufficiently small that you don't need to fully know advanced bash. But then, I don't actually like learning advanced zsh. It seems like a silly language full of completely ad-hoc syntax. Nevertheless, I do use zsh as my shell, I think mainly because tab completion is better.

(I went heavily into nushell, but at the moment it's too different from what one's colleagues are using so it can only be an auxiliary to POSIX shells, and I decided it was a time sink I couldn't afford.)

Not only are the methods of operation which underlie the code completely unprotected, the copying of and the application of tools to the code for the purpose of exercising your right to discover those unprotected elements is fair use.

It is pointless. I am a copyright abolitionist.

None. The GPL was literally created in response to copyright protection being extended to software. No copyright, no point to the GPL.

Oh man, you are not wrong there. The amount of pull requests and contributions I have seen that basically amount to a bit of refactoring for the sake of refactoring in FOSS certainly is higher than in non FOSS environments. Which likely has to do with there being more checks and balances in corporate software development.
I think the problem is more that you cannot at all guarantee a specific performance of the structure ahead of time, because you can't know what the properties of the local rocks will be before you are on site and have measured them all.

Last year we have info for, last year, ads made up over 90% of revenue for them.
Does this surprise anyone? The current state of ads on Twitter is a vicious cycle of losing sponsors, then replacing them with less reputable ones (such as all kinds of crypto, NFT projects that keep rugging people) which then leads to the more reputable ones not wanting to be on the platform, which leads to more of the same.

Paired with the fact that the platform keeps getting arguably worse in terms of features and especially moderation, as well as the fact that Twitter Blue [1][2] just doesn't cover operational cost and likely never will, I don't see a very bright future for Twitter's monetization, and no amount of changing an established companies name with a letter that makes it sound like a pornsite will change that.

EDIT: Should also mention that by Musk' own admission, the company had already lost 50% of their ad revenue early this year [3].

Given the massive amount of debt it took on I would have expected that they needed to quickly massively increase advertising revenue in order to stay afloat. Even just keeping it flat wouldn’t seem to be near enough.

> [software copyright] is pointless.

So you provide one answer on my question of which thought process leads to these conclusions: wishful thinking.

Sigh.

See what I just wrote on the other comment:

> These exceptions allows you to perform RE to _understand_ the code in question for interoperability, not to strip it from copyright and start distributing it as if it was your own code. And in most jurisdictions such exception only becomes possible when it's the _only option available_ to interoperate. As this is _hardly_ the only option available to run this game on your platform (emulation, for example, is completely legal, AND you could RE this title to fix your emulator), this exception hardly applies here.

This is exactly what actually happened in the case you are quoting.

It’s been 15 years and nobody still uses cryptocurrency to pay for stuff. And as you say, that’s the point of money.

So maybe, just maybe crypto is actually not very good as money, which is why people have been increasingly desperate to invent new stories to keep someone paying real money for crypto (digital gold, NFTs, etc.)

No this doesn't really make sense. Unix shell is "situated in" a bunch of native executables (grep, awk, ripgrep, etc.) and textual data, while PowerShell is VM-based, with bindings to Windows.

If I were doing stuff with Windows registries, I might use PowerShell, but I don't. I use Unix.

One is not a substitute for the other -- it's both the language AND the "bindings" that count. bash runs on Windows, and PowerShell runs on Linux, but you lose a lot of "enviroment" in both cases.

I wrote about this distinction here - https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2023/06/ysh-design.html - Oils Is Exterior-First (Code, Text, and Structured Data)

In those terms, I say PowerShell/nushell are "interior-first", while bash and OSH/YSH are "exterior-first". It makes a big difference when using them.
At least from my own tests, I also found Ebiten extremely smooth and performant when building for the WASM target. There seems to be some people spouting a bit of nonsense in this thread without having actually given Ebiten a chance.

There's no/minimal targeting by X. Or at least weren't before Musk. It was all advertisers bidding. The granularity was good, but you still needed to figure out the audience and how much to bid yourself.
