I think most of the people here (myself included) only have experience teaching at a university level (since it is a website for tech professionals, most of us only have teaching experience in grad school or as professors). So the scenario is just totally different. Mandatory attendance doesn’t make sense for adults that are supposed to be trusted to make their own decision and who are paying lots of money to be there (If people don’t show up to my discussion section, it is a sign I’m failing paying customers, and I need to sort that out, so forcing them to attend will destroy my measurement).

If you are teaching k-12 and especially if some of the kids have a rough situation outside of the school, at least mandatory attendance puts them in an environment insulated from those outside pressures.

Well, there is a difference. It’s you doing the piracy legwork in a community full of the types of people who make this kind of content (hackers, designers, indie devs, writers, etc.), versus someone doing it themselves outside of the community. It’s a promotion of it which I think won’t be well received here.
> A github server is much easier to set up than a subversion server.

Oh here we go again. You are wrong my friend. Firing up a basic SVN server is a matter of minutes. You just need to run several simple commands.
Thank you. I'm curious, what did you do differently? Mine didn't work.
I agree here, and I think Icaza is just motivated to make something for himself, because as he explained in the talk, he loves Apple products and APIs.

Swift cross-platform would be a great thing.. I see that The Browser Company is using it for their browser project [0]. It's got a good mix of speed and ergonomics, and Apple seems hell bent on using swift for everything, even at the kernel level (I can't look up sources atm but Sean Parent has said this on ADSP podcast, and you can see the various talks from C++ conferences about swift as a "successor language"). You're right though, Swift is always going to be beholden to Apples whims, just like C# and Microsoft. I feel like Rust has the best shot at being "the cross-platform language to rule them all", but it has a long way to go in terms of being as ergonomic as Swift or C#.

Interesting they granted cert with no split when there are things like abortion cases with multiple appellate splits getting denied cert IIRC.

Has there ever been a SCOTUS case where after reading the briefs and taking arguments they just did a switcheroo and declined to rule?
Im pretty sure he was joking anyways... Either way, I thought it was funny.
At least some of the time the reason is the canon of that subject requires it and you either care about that subject or you don't. If it's a distribution requirement the school imposes or the student simply doesn't know yet what they enjoy studying and are still major-shopping, there isn't necessarily much a professor can do about that. It's not like cooking. Everyone has to eat. Not everyone needs to become a chemist, but if at some point you think you might want to become one, you're going to have to learn common foundational material that all chemists must know to succeed as chemists. If you end up not actually becoming a chemist, it will never be useful to you.

Or if you're pre-med, it still may never be useful to you to learn all the different ways atoms can arrange themselves into molecules unless you're going to someday do novel drug research, but medical school admissions and clinical licensing boards have not yet figured out a way to craft pre-requisites based on the specific unknowable future paths of individual applicants and they have to require everything that might be needed by any kind of doctor.
The regions that are now good for humans will become bad and some regions that are bad now will become good.

It is clear that the majority of the humans live in the regions that are good now and much fewer live in the bad regions.

When the quality of the regions will change, this will be an undesirable change for much more humans than those for which the change will be favorable.

The owners of the regions that will become good are unlikely to welcome those from the regions that become bad to relocate there.

Therefore it would certainly be much better if the changes were prevented, instead of hoping to be among the few who could benefit from them.

I am old enough to remember the cold and snowy winters that were normal in the past, where I live. For now, it is convenient for me that more than a decade has passed since the last time when I have used my winter clothes and my winter boots, but it is extremely scary to have witnessed such a climate change in much less than a human lifetime, without knowing where it would lead eventually.

I know very little of your religion so I’m not familiar with many hymns at all but I thought this was interesting and so did a quick check.

It seems many popular hymns are still in copyright - not necessarily the melody, but often the lyrics, as often the popular English versions are translations, or new lyrics written to old songs.

For example one of the most popular English language hymns “How Great Thou Art” has various versions of the lyrics, and popular versions appear to have been written by lyricists who did not die until the 1980s meaning these works will not become public domain until 2050 or later - even if the melody is much older.

It may also be that the arrangement (which is a distinct copyright when it comes to music) is what is causing a copyright claim.

I understand that religious music publishers can be quite persistent in ensuring use of their works is adequately compensated.

This may be why you are unable to upload these. See also my comment below about differing lengths of copyright for works to enter the public domain.

Ah, I see. That's not what I would have thought of as "manually copy"; you're still syncing using the built-in software—and, of course, you're doing this for all the songs, not just the ones at issue.

In any case, I'm still very puzzled as to how this could be a solution to the specific problem that was originally described...
Newer compilers or other low level programs have become extremely complex. There a loads of features or optimizations which are not strictly necessary but still add a lot of complexity
Attemptting to explain how modern compilers work would most likely result in lots of confusion.

> Third, in the extreme case, there is massive anti-tech, anti-white, anti-bro harborings from these AI Ethicists and want to shut down AI just because.

Yup, well said, except I don’t think it’s the extreme case; I find that most of the ethical AI folks I’ve encountered fall into this bucket. As I pointed out in my comment [0], they’ve completely turned this ethical AI thing into a political issue and what appears to be yet another issue to divide us even more.

I’m a black man and I cringe every time I hear them going on and on about how AI is supposedly more of a massive threat to me because I’m black. Most of the issues they point to, however real they may be, tend to be mostly data-related issues, which can be addressed without turning to the racism and “tech bros” narrative. This reminds me of the Google Photos gorilla incident some years ago (I knew some of the folks involved). Everyone was piling on Google for identifying a black man as a gorilla in their Photos app; everyone in tech seemed to loved the narrative that Google was supposedly a white supremacist organization and did that on purpose when, in reality, it was simply a data issue. Obviously, that was a bad outcome and it’s perfectly reasonable to have expected better from Google, but rather than focusing on how to prevent issues like that in the future (i.e., making sure to have diverse training data sets), the tech industry turned that situation into an emotional virtue-signaling event to pander to black folks and push the narrative that tech is inherently evil and racist.

lol, msft is buying the whole gaming industry and will spend out of business tons of dev studios which won't be able to match the amount of resources they will pour in their own dev studios to produce georgous AAA games, which will only work properly on a real windows with dx12 (they may give some bits here and there to other platforms, for posture, and anti-trust).

pixel gfx with perfect gameplay will do so much for gamers.

I think it's a pretty huge leap from "they're not using Apple's bundled apps" to "so they must not actually like macOS."

I know a lot of people who have MacBooks of various types who use Chrome as their browser (and only access their mail through the Gmail web interface), MS Office, etc, rarely using a single one of the Apple bundled apps (save perhaps the very basic ones, like Preview)...and yet, they would never give them up for a Windows computer, because so much of the OS is very fundamentally different to interact with.

Have you seen Rise of the triad? Tom Hall also needs someone to trim him down.

One thing that kept both grounded was the brutal timing of their releases. Doom had 6 months or so, and if it failed they knew they had to go back to boring jobs.

Apart from that, Masters of doom paints doom-id culture like the 1970's rock n roll band stories. A group comes together, works as well oiled team for a while and produces genius results. But the success and differences in personal growth trajectories inevitably pull the group apart. There is typically a painfull divorse phase between the main egos. The reality was that this kind of synergy never lasts more than a few years in any case.

In effect, anyone on YouTube can upload material and claim that it is their own copyrighted material, even if it's not. And there's no way to dispute this.

If you write and say it's public domain, then the claimaint gets 30 days to dispute the claim. If they choose to dispute it, I believe they are required to DMCA you (which they rarely do, especially considering that they'd be totally in the wrong for a c1927 item).

Usually, they just let the claim lapse after 30 days. But if you upload the content again, then you will have to dispute it again, because there's no way to mark a claim as invalid in itself.
> Visual Studio does a decent job of abstracting the GIT nuances, but I personally use GIT Extensions, which looks and feels much better on Windows than the other cross platform UIs.

IDEs and text editors sometimes have nice Git integrations in the UI, but I wanted standalone software that I can use for anything from various programming projects, to something like gamedev projects (with Git LFS) or arbitrary documents.

In the end, I just forked over some money for GitKraken, it's pretty good, especially with multiple accounts on the same platforms, when you want to switch between them easily: https://www.gitkraken.com/

There's also Sourcetree which I used before then, kind of sluggish but feature complete: https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/

Quite frankly, I spend like 90% of the time using a GUI interface nowadays, when I want to easily merge things, or include very specific code blocks across multiple files in a commit, or handle most of the other common operations. Of course, sometimes there's a need to drop down to the CLI, but you're right that some GUI software feels like it actually improves the usability here.
It's quite possible that we reach a new "stable" state. There is a lot of land in Siberia, Canada and Greenland that might become well suited to agriculture as temperatures increase. Meanwhile the Northern shipping routes open up as the northern ice caps retreat, making these regions even more attractive.

But this would come with monumental challenges, the kinds that have caused previous civilizations to collapse. Billions of people live in regions that will reach hostile temperatures or that will have population centers destroyed by sea level rise. Imagine a large portion of them moving North and South to more hospitable climates. Russia might have won the lottery in terms of future-proof land, but trying to control migration across its Southern border would be a near impossible challenge. Meanwhile the EU has a ... complicated relationship with border control right now, and will be faced with a lot worse.

Agree, but I also put forth that with EVs and renewables on a fast takeoff trajectory, that day is rapidly approaching. Were deploying more than 1GW of solar a day at current rates, and approaching 15M/units of EVs sold this year (1/6th of total global light vehicle sales), and these manufacturing and deployment flywheels are still coming up to speed.

Articles like this seem to get published most often when a problem turns out to be worse than we thought. That makes sense - and I suspect that, on balance, we've been overly optimistic about how much warming will come from each source, but it can't always be worse than we thought.

Presumably people making climate models must keep up on the latest info on how much each element contributes, with some of them being less warming than predicted. Are there places that collect that information? Is there any way to see the aggregate change in overall understanding?
It’s needs a republic structure. Every person joins a small default group of random strangers, their moderation group. Small enough that bad actors can be fished out. This is part of a larger group where these individual silos get their own trust relationship. If a small group starts misbehaving, the individuals in that group get reassigned. If the individuals who have moved also correlate with a lack of trust in their next group, they get flagged and put on probation. We can’t have global trust until local trust has been established.
The impression I got just watching as a casual player throughout the duke nukem/keen->wolf3d->doom->quake days and the subsequent breakup of id and interviews Carmack has given, is that Romero let the early fame and success get to him and lacked the self discipline to keep pulling his weight while Carmack was substantially carrying the company along from his perspective.

They had equal shares and were all very young, the only option for them at the time appeared to be parting ways. Carmack has voiced in multiple more recent interviews that in hindsight there were probably better options to make things work out, but they didn't have the maturity and experience at the time to pursue them.

Given this context I don't think it's surprising that Romero would crash and burn on his own after being pushed out of id. The self-discipline and maturity side was only more critical to success without the id team's support, not less.
Their power is symbolic, but symbolism provides an important service.

Wow, that's very aggressive. It smells to the outside observer like overcorrecting for a real but blown out of proportion problem
This is a common pattern in a lot of creative industries; some people have early, groundbreaking success, but once they're successful have a tough time replicating that. Some combination of now that they're rich, no longer really the pressure to succeed as they already have, they were in the right place at the right time and no longer are, they have less pressure from other people telling them "no", they no longer have the passion of youth in their favor, they were better at the "inventing a new genre" than competing in a more mature marketplace with everyone else who has already learned from their previous success, etc.

I don't know enough about the specifics of Romero to say which it is, possibly more than one, but it doesn't seem to be unique to him, I see this kind of pattern in pop culture all the time.

Sure this could be a possibility once you finish describing consequences of the action of withdrawal you’ve suggested Israel to take. Suggested alternative is incomplete without you describing realistic outcome of it an thus leaves the current option Israel took as the only one possible which makes discussing it irrelevant wether you like it or not.

Please responsibly describe outcome of the suggested alternative and then we can compare it with current situation.

I feel like if you have to specify “technically”, you agree with me that it is basically a subscription.

As an Indie developer myself I do not support subscription based licensing (or your version of license) for B2C products. You can offer B2B subscription based licensing, but B2C should always be perpetual licenses. Sure it is ok to ask for the upgrade to new version, which has significant features.

And to clarify, we are talking about the product that does not have any outgoing server spending.

That is my opinion.
I agree with all of that. Asking to take the test would be an option, they do have some program where they can give you a PC to use, I just felt it wasn't worth the hassle. I'm not much of a gamer either, but I want the few games I do play to run - GTAV Online is one that won't run in Linux at all.
