Why shouldn't they have to license it to Samsung? Why do we want to stifle innovation by preventing Samsung from using any of LG's tech and vice versa? Imagine the TVs we could've had if the two companies could combine the best parts of each others' technologies.
Go simply can't really do well unless it has globs of memory or properly set kernel parameters (that affect the whole global machine). To get it to run reliably in low-memory conditions also requires careful tuning of GOGC + GOMEMLIMIT + MADV_DONTNEED. Go is geared more towards servers with tons of available memory, not IoT devices. Further, it's networking stack does really well on low-latency connections (ie, a datacenter) and starts to do poorly if you throw a in link with lots of data loss (this includes clients across the internet on crappy wifi).

I love that they basically reimplemented libc to get more performance, but they also threw away decades of edge cases that it doesn't (yet) handle very well. I'm confident they'll get there, eventually, especially when people do things like this and report issues.
We aim to be no worse than Emqx in this regard :)
Planning to add auth modules support in the near future.
People like you are the reason I personally don't want to be in an office.

> asking quick questions and getting an instant answer. vs chat where I may not get an answer for hours.

Basically like having a toddler around. Sorry for the negative take here but how it's written it feels like you don't necessarily realize that some people do need deep work, and prioritize your quick satisfaction to other's focus. Or I might be projecting, but I simply can't stand incessantly being asked questions, I view it as a type of interruption.

> running ideas by others. This doesn't happen on chat for me, and VC is too scheduled.

Yes, because who needs order in their time when somebody just wants to ask the group from their opinion, without even bothering to write it down. Also, whoever is sick that day and missing from the office, that's on them, whatever discussion happened, no evidence of it, so sucks to be them I guess.

> I don't feel connected to me team at all working from home

I...am sorry.
Yeah or the bed itself is fine, but it's on a bad bed support. That's why even a perfectly flat glass bed plate can be completely uneven since the structure itself is crooked! Considering that quite a few printers are self assembled too (with basically no torque specs, and users that have little means to build it accurately), it's just compounded even more.
I think I semi-successfully restored some sanity to a long running personal project.

I had added features nobody wanted(afaik), that were a hassle to maintain, and that I didn't have any use for.

I just axed them all. And I stopped adding features without real use cases I actually planned on doing. I was spending hours a week but the project was getting crappier instead of better.

With all that gone, I had time to add features I actually wanted, and clean up the architecture to make that possible.
> I'd argue it's doing exactly what it's supposed to.

What were creative writing lessons at school supposed to do?
If the answer was to enable me to write adequate fiction, and to gain enjoyment from doing so, then such classes were a complete failure.

> There's nothing creative about being given an assignment and jumping straight to topics you're familiar with.

I am not necessarily familiar with all the topics mentioned... ;-)
Nevetheless, the reasoning given at the time was not yours, but simply that these topics don't constitute proper literature and are therefore not valid topics for creative writing assignments.
I have no memory of ever hearing anything along the lines of what you have said above.

Come to think of it, the music and art lessons weren't very good either. Any success I have had along those lines (music) has been since leaving school and not involving anything I learned there.

Nobody is doing pair programming / mob programming. At best, some people are talking that it might be interesting to do.
That's why you have TinyGo: https://tinygo.org/
I obviously know it is legal to refuse to license, that's the problem.

If your whole argument is "it should be legal to refuse to license a patent", I don't know why you went down the whole "They aren't refusing to license the patent" route.
I'm not saying I approve of this state of affairs, I'm simply explaining how Gulf airlines view these routes, so reserve your disgust for them. And of course this attitude permeates how Gulf countries view people from the subcontinent in general.
Sounds like you have terrible experience with being forced to explore one's talent for the game, but I dont think that deep of an history with it can provide an objective assessment of the game: any hobby taken to the extreme, maniacal and methodical level stops becoming a hobby, and turns into work. There is this widespread notion that the deeper you go, the more enjoyable it is and it is utter nonsense. Even in gaming, the concept of minmaxing, which is antithetical to enjoying a game, is encouraged, but all it does is turn a fun pastime into spreadsheets and hard effort for asymptotic gain.

On the other hard I had ignored the game for all my adulthood because I felt, in my ignorance, that it was a game too hard to get into. I'm starting to like it as I learn, but I have no chance nor desire to break the 2000+ ELO threshold, to compete, to leave my mark.

I am learning Chess so that if one day I find an elderly gentleman at the park with a board, I can sit for a game and a chat.
> Besides that, it’s tacky and low status to complain publicly about a client. I would never work with someone who behaved this way, even if everything they say is 100% true and correct.

I get what you are saying and I definitely considered my 'reputation' (whatever that is). Not going into specifics, but I thought long and hard about my actions and I prepared myself. Ultimately, for me it came down to a simple equation: do I risk being seen as 'low status' by outsiders, or do I choose for definitely seeing myself as 'low status' by accepting mistreatment without kicking back?

It might have looked "tacky" for outsiders, but it most definitely tasted very good for myself! No regrets.
It's not. Company uses their patents to troll others? Company is a patent troll.
I started with PHP many years ago for my side projects while at the university, then I switched to Python, but when I graduated there were only PHP jobs available so I took one because I had to. I was not happy with PHP, it was a pain to use it. I never want to hear again about WordPress or Drupal.

I discovered the Ruby community at its peak around that time and fell in love with it! I started a new project at work with Rails and all my next jobs were Ruby jobs.

I experimented with Node when it came out but I think I'm burn out with everything related to JavaScript at this point. And the Ruby community, while still great, seems to be dying out locally. Meanwhile I've been doing some Rust side projects for almost a decade, and it looks like this will be my next language. Time will tell.

I still love Ruby though, I wish it was more popular, it's such a nice language.
> people can stop others from wasting time

Workers policing other workers . . . the ideal office of the pre-COVID 21st century!
Why on earth can you drive without a registration of the vehicle. This simply indicates the law is broken. Still scummy behaviour but fixing the law so you have to get a plate before driving would solve this (like it's in many places of the world).
>Basically like having a toddler around.

Unnecessarily condescending response to the OP, to be honest.
I click print in my slicer and move on to do other things, casually looking at the camera feed a couple of times during the 1st layer
Blocks are Proc objects whenever you take their value, and it's only an implementation dependent optimization that they are not that all the time in MRI. It's perfectly viable to implement a Ruby where blocks are always Proc's. You don't need to care about that distinction.

Ruby doesn't have functions at all - it has objects with methods, and you can treat a block as an object whenever you want.
SUVs are indeed terrible, but the models sold in Europe are tiny compared to American trucks. The most popular SUV in Germany for example is the VW Tiguan with a curb weight of around 1500kg. AFAIK the most popular car in the US in the Ford F150 with a curb weight around 2100kg.
Yep ... Energy required scales (at least [1]) quadratically with speed, but time to target only linearly.

We noticed that while commuting between two cities over the German Autobahn (A2). I could go 100 km/h and be in sync with the semis, or could go 120 km/h because at that time there are too many cars to go faster.

Going slower was almost two liters gas less per day but increased travel time by only 5-10 minutes.
People don't usually borrow money then leave it just sitting in their bank account. They borrow to spend. Same applies to the Treasury.
It probably depends on the use case. We usually try to avoid stored procedures as it is in-transparent, not really easy to debug and finally it is business logic in the data store which isn't a good approach in my perspective.
> we ate at a “French” restaurant in our town serving the exact same food and it was close to $80 plus 20% for a tip

That's because French restaurants in US are considered fancy. They are always expensive. But if you compare say Thai restaurants, the prices are similar (I just did -- curry near me in suburban Paris €13.5, curry in suburban NJ $15+tax+tip).
The solution is to support these people if they are unable to work so that they don’t have to fear for their livelihood if they come down sick.

If the expectation is for people who are sick to further worsen their condition by becoming unemployed and discard themselves then the system is broken - simple as.
> Getting paid to waste time not doing your job

Pretty much the definition of 90 % of all the meetings. Just putting on bluetooth earpieces and doing the laundry doesn't deduct the value of me hearing another round of very efficient 'cost savings' that they thought about somewhere up the chain or other administrative ideas.
The recent DeepMind paper on FunSearch highlighted their use of pre-trained large language models (LLMs) for generating code improvements. Interestingly, while the main LLM used was Codey, built on the PaLM2 model family, they also referenced StarCoder, an open-source LLM, in their supplementary information.

However, the GitHub repository for FunSearch doesn't include implementations for these LLMs. For instance, in `sampler.py`:

```
class LLM:
"""Language model that predicts continuation of provided source code."""

def __init__(self, samples_per_prompt: int) -> None:
self._samples_per_prompt = samples_per_prompt

def _draw_sample(self, prompt: str) -> str:
"""Returns a predicted continuation of `prompt`."""
raise NotImplementedError('Must provide a language model.')

```

This code suggests the need for an external LLM implementation. Given that they successfully used StarCoder, it's surprising that no integration guide or basic implementation for it (or any similar open-source LLM) is provided. Such an inclusion would have significantly enhanced the reproducibility and accessibility of their research.
In this context, Dom0 is completely disconnected from the internet. It is used for running the Xen hypervisor. Dom0 doesn't run any apps at all (except for the window manager). It does not process external untrusted input. The VM template is based on the most recent version.
> It masks the reality of the situation which is that instance moderators have too much of a say in what individual users get to see or do.

Uh, instance mods don't have more power than admins on other platforms. dang can Thanos snap you from existence on this platform at any moment: how is that for having a say on what you can do?

What you complain about is that you hear a lot more about the moderation on the fediverse than you do on HN or Youtube, despite Youtube moderation practices impacting a lot more people than the sum total of what happens on the fediverse.
Really just Gates, though.

This is the money quote to show what type of person Roberts was

> “The most important thing is to be honorable, and kind of work from there,” he replied. He spoke about the various times MITS had come close to failure, only to be saved by the blind trust placed in him by others. “If you have integrity, that makes up for a lot of things. A lot of inadequacies. I never lied to anyone. I always told them exactly what the situation was and what we could do to get out of it. That’s true for life in general as well. Don’t lie to yourself.”

Such a sharp contrast to Gates’ behavior.
Instead of wasting time browsing news sites playing on your phone or just zoning out during downtime, actually being able to take a break and do something you care about instead is _awesome_
My team is fully remote and we definitely do pair programming from time to time. Not so much mob programming as much as mob code review on occasion to understand significant code changes and their related decisions.

But not nearly to the degree as my old job pre-pandemic that was roughly 3 days a week all in the office and 2 days a week whatever you wanted.
> The patent system was never intended to be used like a weapon to protect a market.

This doesn't seem true to me. Nothing about the design of the patent system makes sense if the intent if not to use it like a weapon to let a giant company protect a whole area of the market from competition.
The topic wasn't about someone calling poison control, it was about bad actors trying to trick ChatBot into absurd contracts.
I know that I'm part of a minority, but I'll avoid touching an "AI" enabled smartphone as long as possible. All privacy issues and tech issues aside, so far I have simply not found a single use case in which AI-tools would make my life easier.
A simple lesson I feel many including the author are missing after that ordeal. It's not your MacBook.

> Basically like having a toddler around.

I changed jobs during lockdown. When I've joined other companies earlier, everyone knew to step in to help the new guy. So people would constantly ask me how I was doing, see if I were struggling and ask to help me, or I could just poke someone in the room.

But getting onboarded remotely during lockdown (in a non-remote-first company), I didn't know who to ask. No one could see me being stuck. I couldn't just ask out in the open room. Writing a message in a chat channel meant it could take ages before I got any help to get going.

Yay to me for at least not "disturbing" people. But the tradeoff here is that the whole team suffers as a team, just so people can have personal productivity. Which I think lessens speed in the long run. We're not code-monkeys picking Jira-tasks and dishing out features. We're working on a project together.
This shit about being connected is killing me, people goes to work as part of their social life and are ruining everyone else existence, if people doesn’t have connections therapist is where they should go not coworkers
Because they’re very small very simple companies, they’re also much easier than a real company to take public. And by “real” I mean one with products and services and customers and stuff happening.

It’s asking for trouble to create IAM Users. SSO and role assumption will save you a lot of headaches.
Fair. Paywall up front then - don't tease me.
Not sure I'd go that far but do wish the story had a few more details. Did the reporter talk to his friend/girlfriend, or to any of his peers? Lots of people own vintage cars. Lots of people collect something. Some people own vintage clothes. Even if he intersects the three, that doesn't mean he's a complete Luddite.

> We always watch old films together, he's in love with Ginger Rogers," Anne says.

Maybe I'm being pedantic, but UK TV licenses didn't exceed a million until the early 1950's [1], so he's cheating at least a little.

> "I was forced to have a laptop for college, and I hated it."

Past tense. What is/was his major?

On some level I find this positively charming. If I had a time machine, I'd visit the 1940's, too. But I likely wouldn't stay for more than a few weeks at a time. Even Gary Sparrow eventually found it boring. [2]. Hmm, I wonder if he's ever seen "Goodnight Sweetheart"?

> Callum has lived at his gran's house since he was 12, after his grandad, John, suddenly passed away. He's kept her company ever since.

That's also the same year he bought the hat. So this would appear to be a reaction to his grandad's passing? It's not necessarily the reporter's job to play psychoanalyst, but I would have liked more details.

From what I can tell, Kirkcaldy isn't exactly rural, but if his ambition is to run the local animal shelter or local museum, I think he'll do fine. He's just 19 and has plenty of time to decide his life's direction. And should I ever visit Fife and encounter him, I'd be happy to stop for a game of checkers, darts, etc. I was a little kid in the 1970's, before home computers, the internet, ATM's, and cable TV, and could go back and do it again. Tech isn't everything. As I think some have remarked, it may just give him a clearer head.

That's actually a matter of taste: in many cases I prefer desktop applications instead.
I think you're confusing the control screen with leveling mesh visualizer. Prusa Connect does not have this, Prusa Link is even more bare bones.
They didn't dominate against human pros, neither did alphastar. So Humans still have a chance there.
This warrants signing some paperwork when purchasing, not including a hardware rootkit at the factory.
If that was the only innovation, why would Apple go and have several meetings with them and then try to hire their engineers? Sounds like they had something that Apple wanted, and Apple decided not to pay for it. This case is the result, which certainly will be settled at some point.
I don't think pair programming exists in reality. It is talked about a lot.

Pair debugging does exist but only when stuff goes wrong. This is the vain hope that perhaps two people can make up one competent person when the shit has hit the fan.
As someone who is at 1000 and also one of those people who only slam blitzes, I can confirm that one benefits from it only to a point, mostly developing skill in quickly reading the board and identifying the low-hanging-fruit moves.
I have a family member who would get upset when others would not like her Facebook posts and would message us about it. (It was one of the reasons why I stopped using FB.) OP's submission reminds of this family member.
That is not a problem with the ebooks it is a problem with using a Kindle.

If you download your book from Amazon to your disk e.g. in Calibre Amazon can't touch it.

I have many amazon books and I read then in pub based readers on my iPhone.

Even on the Kindle I think I am safe as I tend not to use the Amazon link but upload via Calibre so what is on the Kindle does not match what Amazon thinks I have on the Kindle.
Have you guys ever thought about the fact that there are nerds that like so socialize and hate working from home, because it gets f'ing lonely after a while? I want to see people. The corona pandamic where I worked almost 2 years from home drove me into a severe depression.

I was just scrolling through the article and saw that they are using Tailwind CSS for styling. Why? Why would you do that for a simple demo, that doesn't demand complex styling.
It's going to take a long time to change our built envrinoment and habits, but it's not inevitably human nature to want cars whipping through the places our kids play. In fact, given a choice rich people rarely allow this in their neighbourhoods.
If you want to see what spaces look like when cars are deprioritised, NL and other European countries are leading the way. And you don't have to ban them entirely. Just stop through traffic, and limit to local residents. Also reduce speed limits and make public transport a viable alternative for people.

Drink driving also used to be normal and "inevitable". It's possible to change.
I never understand this. Why being so focused on work, to the detriment of building some relationships with the people you work with? Is this a HN/spectrum thing? Or capitalism-simping where people aspire to be robot-workers with no humanity? Why not enjoy your time at work? After all, you're spending 8 hours there a day, and see those people almost as much as your spouse, and probably more than your friends.
I'm absolutely bewildered by their "curvatures" chart:

> How to read the chart

> Each group of lines is a country

> Each line is a year

> The position of the curvature along the line indicates the top category by year

Uh...what? Vertical position of a bend on a line tells you...the...category? What?

Why?

Why did they do this? It makes no sense to me at all.
That makes sense. But I think that's a money problem, not a technology problem - if the money was sloshing around desktop applications, I think we'd get a lot of locked down desktop applications tracking us. We kind of have that on mobile, indeed. Sometimes there are nice community built alternatives, but not that often.
I haven't levelled my bed in months or maybe years... Sure, it was a pain to level it the first time, but once it's level it should stay level unless you disassemble the printer.
> which supposedly makes people steal them less.

Which achieves the goal (not have laptop with this important info stolen).
I work at a 30 person company in a partitioned office designed for four people, including the CEO, a graphic designer, and a secretary. My role involves focused programming tasks, which are frequently disrupted by the office dynamics.

When the CEO is away, the graphic designer and secretary frequently engage in loud, casual conversations, discussing everything from personal matters to home decor, like curtain colors. They also have a habit of yelling over the office partitions, adding to the disruption. Despite using noise-cancelling headphones, these distractions, including both the conversations and the yelling, consistently hinder my concentration.

Interestingly, the secretary has expressed concern about the perceived level of activity in the office, especially when the CEO is present. The secretary has mentioned to both me and the graphic designer that there might not be enough typing noises, suggesting a worry that the CEO might not think everyone is working hard. This concern about appearances adds another layer to the already challenging office environment.
>The main problem is that today patents are granted far too easily.

Currently in the US, for better or worse, actual scrutiny happens when you try to claim infringement, not at application.

>Other claims are far too general and cover all the ways that everyone could list about how to solve a problem,

This is covered by the non-obvious clause.

>Today few patent owners are willing to license them at fair and non-discriminatory prices.

Plain wrong.
