You have to remember the purpose of trademarks -- they aren't primarily intended to benefit the trademark holder, they're intended as a consumer protection thing.

The idea is that you can rely on the name/packaging/etc. to actually indicate that the product was made by who you think it was made by.

If a trademark becomes generic enough, then it stops serving that purpose and so is no longer able to serve its protective function.
Nukes are expensive and take forever to build. This ship sailed 40 years ago.
I see this comment regularly. I also see the complete opposite comment regularly (that even the unsubsidized fully loaded cost with current technology is far cheaper than anything else).

It is usually stated as fact with no backup. I’m open to being swayed either way by evidence. Do you have a link that represents the data that leads you to this conclusion?

And ditto for those who disagree with you.

Otherwise it’s just random people saying the other person is wrong.
They have had the binary packaging capability for a long time now. It just didn't make sense to use it on a global scale considering the vast combination of packages they could generate (due to USE flags, profiles, etc) and the infrastructure needed to distribute them. They seem to have decided to offer binaries for the most common configurations. This isn't a major change. Perhaps the infrastructure also makes more sense than before.
And it can be a win for both sides.

Life isn’t zero sum.
One obvious advantage would be the length of time you can stay in the country.

For Korea obviously the advantages are the same as tourism.
One of the advantages of this kind of architecture is that if one reader is reading the old tree while it is replaced, it just works. Databases are really good at having multiple versions of the same data structure be accessible at the same time.

I hand rolled some similar data structures in higher order languages when I couldn't find any Python packages that gave me the same capability. But I couldn't figure out what a good name would be for, say, a dictionary that could have multiple concurrent versions. So I never went anything where with that.
For kicks and giggles, I just set it up on a new system a couple of weeks back.

It's really not much different than working with Arch in terms of complexity. Initial setup takes a bit, but if you've installed arch you are pretty familiar with everything you need (in fact, arch docs are helpful for a gentoo setup :D).

The docs are VERY good and easy to google.

Compilation time can be nasty depending on what you install but not terribly bad. I just rebuilt the world because a GCC update broke lto that I'm running. With about 2k packages that took about 6 hours to complete on a Ryzen 7950.

General updates take almost no time at all (especially using git for syncing). Usually less than 10 minutes often less than 1. As I write this, I'm currently rebuilding kde (if you are using your computer, rebuilding doesn't really get in the way. Especially if you are already working with a multicore system).

Well, I can agree and just note that this is orthogonal to the issue I'm raising: It's a rich people visa and as such is not helpful to many people who objectively qualify for a "digital nomad" moniker, so there's a mismatch between the name and the function.

"Hook-and-loop" is a crappy name for it in English because it conveys an image of someone physically performing a hooking and looping action, like the old-timey hobby, latch hooking[0]. But the action you perform is really just either pressing together or pulling apart. The fact that the mechanism is comprised of tiny hooks and loops isn't really germane to how it works on a macro level. I quite like the "fur tape" mock suggestion in the second video.

Why is there so much marketing to support nuclear?

The reason people don't want it in their back yard is because disasters are so drastic (even if rare), the waste nearly permanent (and one of the most toxic we produce on earth), and trust in government and corporations to protect our health and safety is at historic lows.

I simply do not trust lobbiests, CEOs and career politicians with the health and safety of my family, and I don't think anyone else should either.
I use Gentoo on my personal servers because it offers the customization I want with the ability to easily install from source some various strange things I have laying around.

It's a rolling release so it never has a "major blow up day" - at worst I have to spend 5-10 minutes on a "breaking" change.

My desktop is just a Mac, but my Gentoo server provides the Linux I need.

(Work servers are Ubuntu because work software wants something well-known.)
You cant actually trust that its safe to eat, you just like the idea and act accordingly. And deal with the consequences of the uncaught error cases. Tainted food still occurs.

At best you can be confident / trust that a product is created in a given process which manages certain risks through certain means.

Also, finding faults in said process is a lot easier then coming up with it or executing it. Be it making a sausage that is unlikely to make you sick or coming to an expert judgement with sufficient confidence to act on.

It doesnt require the ability to validate a process to find it faulty, you just have to detect an error case occurring that isnt dealt with.
Dunkelflauten can be dealt with by burning an e-fuel like hydrogen.

A simple combustion turbine power plant is maybe 1/20th the cost per W of Vogtle 3/4. So one could completely back up the grid with hydrogen burning turbines at a small fraction of the capital cost of powering that grid with nukes.

Using nuclear to handle rare disruptions is ridiculous, as the cost per kWh would be astronomical, far higher than the cost per kWh from nukes used for baseload.
I was answering the question wha's in it for Korean people. Couple of wealthy nomads are not a drain for korean economy instead they benefit the people as 2/3 of koreans are self employed and will greatly benefit from increased consumption.
You might find my survival guide for founders who depend on devs to get things done useful. It covers topics like how not to lose key information if a dev leaves, preventing endless rebuilds and framework switching, keeping devs busy vs. keeping them productive, and ensuring product builds don't go off the deep end.

As an example, here's the chapter on estimates: https://superstruct.tech/blog/estimates
From a historical point of view, I am not sure scientists in fundamental/basic research were important to make breakthroughs. I think scientists added-value is in incremental research (as opposed to breakthrough) and making coherent theories.

I am thinking of the likes of Faraday/Hertz versus Maxwell or Von Guerick/Boyle/Watt versus Carnot.

To make breakthroughs you need a diverse set of personalities not only people trying to make a career in the knowledge field.
reception is a play on words, in an actual wedding it would mean the that the attendees had a good reaction. In the sense that the newly weds are satellites, the reception can also refer to radio signal reception.
> The ecosystem was more coherent. VB wasn't usable for many advanced tasks so VB devs relied heavily on components written in C++ (OCX controls)

Until VB 6, which introduced AOT compilation based on VC++ backend, and creation of OCX in VB itself.

To this day, one of the easiest way to do COM on Windows, even better than .NET Framework (.NET Core made it harder, yet another thing that Framework does better).
You can't see or hear media in "the cloud". It has to be downloaded to your device to do that. "Streaming" is just downloading + (usually) DRM enforced deleting, which is exactly what the person you're replying to is saying will improve when we repeal DMCA.
Nobody is every going to offer insurance on crypto. It sounds to me like you just need an FDIC insured checking account.

If you're going to hold crypto, you need to treat it as you would a huge pile of cash, with physical security, and obscurity. The only nice thing is that you can have a backup copy of the crypto private keys and seed phrase, unlike cash.

I heard about this kind of set up often, dedicated monitors for dedicated applications/tasks. Great that it works for you, for me it just doesn't seem to make any sense.

I usually use all the monitors for the task I'm currently working on, and not for different serial tasks. For context switches I use Alt+Tab or sometimes virtual desktops.
After a record year of wildfires, will Canada ever be the same again?
VB6 was primitive compared to what Delphi gave us. It had live design time data binding, visual form inheritance etc. VB and VC++ were primitive compared to that. VCL vs MFC? No contest. The API was powerful, fast, great to extend by inheritance, best in class layout management. There were about 8000 third party components at web sites like Delphi Super Page. Half of those were free, rest were affordably priced for commercial use.

Much of the 90s experience lives on in FPC/Lazarus, but it did not get much better after that, and few use it. I wish they aligned themselves with a more popular language like Rust or Go for a more cohesive experience, while keeping Object Pascal (built with IDE experience in mind).

I still prefer the GUI building experience in Delphi 6/7 than anything that was produced since then. C#/Winforms is fine, it was designed by the same person - Anders Hejlsberg, but I wanted something native.

It's unbelievable that something modern like Flutter still fails to capture the design convenience of Delphi, from decades ago. Yes, the design markup is great, but I don't even want to look at it most of the time.

The later Swing/SWT editors never came close. Even Qt, which was inspired by it, never provided the component market experience of Delphi, and it was much more bloated in runtimes.

I fell in love with GUI design with Delphi, but otherwise hated it since.
A mutable approach requires a write ahead log meaning you have to copy the data twice on every write which seems worse.

Ask HN: Best way to find Technical Writers
Hi HN, I am looking to find technical writers to help with a project that is built on top of an Open Source platform and creates themes/plugins. Think of WordPress but in a more niche area. Where do you find good technical writers to help create great content ? Are there any existing websites that you recommend ?

Also, if you already hire/employ technical writers, would love to hear how you compensate them (per article??), how you set expectations and decide on content etc.
It's a common myth that I hear a lot - it has nothing to do with the branch-prediction per se. It's only a hint to the compiler itself to emit a more instruction-cache and CPU-decode friendly code layout. E.g. codegen for unlikely branch(es) in the binary itself will be placed farther away from the "likely" execution path.
The phrasing in the article sort of makes it sound like the npm package opened up port 5000 vs the shell.
Nope, I've just shared the link for mere curiosity: it's not so common for istitutions in Italy to digitalize this kind of things.

I've heard people say that we ought to return to a 28-year limit on copyright protection. I think it's interesting to note that much of what Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds wrote would no longer be protected by the GPL if we were to do that.

GNU/Linux distributions released on or before 1995 include Slackware 3.0 and Debian 0.93R6.
Just a guess but if they mean anything like in Lithuania - higher taxes. (Here in Lithuania "rich" is earning more than 45k/year.)
I think it's hard to really understand the attack without seeing the code, but listening on a port (at least the chunk of code rendered in the article) is not sufficient to make the machine accessible on the internet unless the wallet machine is publicly addressable, in which case I think running untrusted code is the least of the dev's concerns.

I had guessed that perhaps it's intercepting port 5000 and something else like Metamask was connecting to 5000 assuming something more innocuous was running on it, then forwarding that information? But like I said not sure without seeing the code.
> Business processes can’t take the place of experienced judgement.

This is utterly incorrect..

Testing and QA are techical processes run by engineers.

Where did you get your degree ? Your knowledge of tech seems extraordinarily limited. Theres solutions to your problems you're not even aware of.
My 32" 4K is configured with 150% zoom on Windows. So it's usable resolution is in practice the same as an UHD monitor, just a bit sharper and bigger. More crisp fonts, icons and images. Totally enough.

Capsule doesn't do this, fwiw
Two reasons:

First, nuclear requires very large corporations. Other energy sources don't require size to the same degree. Solar panels can be purchased by the homeowner and installed by a local Mom-and-Pop shop.

Second, it depends on how we define 'public subsidy'. If we accurately price externalities, such as climate impact, then we are effectively reducing subsidies (i.e., letting people use the commons for free is a subsidy).
The thing about ML is that memory helps everything.

Take almost any given model that fits in X memory pool for some task. Double that, and everything gets better. Training quality goes up, inference quality potentially goes up, you gain the capacity for more batching which dramatically increases performance. Maybe more caching, depending on the app. You can add more models to the pipeline without much fuss.
Given the diversity of the "CTO" role in terms of responsibilities and scale - what you should be reading will vary depending on your current size, composition, industry and your own personal experience level.

One I find no trouble recommending regardless of these however is High Output Management by Andy Grove (of Intel). Not a new book, but chalk full of what I consider absolute truths when it comes to optimizing middle management (which is predominantly your role as a CTO, once the org reaches 50+ people and your direct reports all have direct reports). The fact it is still very relevant to organizational challenges today when it was written 40 years ago is a testament to this. It is a shame there are so few books that focus on this very-ignored (and honestly largest) segment of management and arguably where you get the most traction as a company.

I've yet to meet two CTOs that share the same skillset or strengths, or who work in the same org structure.

I would recommend doing some executive courses and trainings (with our other execs) to learn some common language and techniques/methodologies around team management and execution - this has been the thing which helped me most in embracing a CTO role (even one with other CTOs from separate business units reporting into). It is ironic but the best blend for a high level CTO is actually people and organizational skills moreso than pure technical aptitude. You need to be able to fact check your people and ask the right technical questions and understand the fundamentals of technical debt and TCO analysis, but honestly you'll be using your people/organizational skills and trying to hire people that know the technology better than you for the most part.

I've come to despise all streaming services and hope they all burn down. We've gone full circle in terms of price and convenience. Hell, even Prime now wants to you pay extra to not see ads! Wasn't that one of the benefits over cable in the beginning?

I've gone back to buying physical media and just put everything on my Plex server. The perpetual 'rental' model is a failing one and is not consumer friendly.
The license is kind of irrelevant because its ML stuff that is impossible to retrain from the source data, because what that source data is, is a trade secret and even if it were publicly known, probably not under a FOSS license. The Debian Deep Learning Team's Machine Learning policy calls this sort of thing a "Toxic Candy" project.

https://salsa.debian.org/deeplearning-team/ml-policy/

Of course people rarely need to retrain from scratch, but with some of the attacks on ML systems out there, that is an essential thing to be able to do if you can afford or crowdfund it.

It all comes down to how quickly new living spaces are made. The common theme in all of the most expensive cities of the world is the supply of new housing being vastly lower than the demand. 10,000 people may not seem like a lot, but if there are only 5,000 new residences coming on the market a year, this is a problem that will quickly compound.
And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the Aids Epidemic
The entire point of sharpening the saw is that it is continual though. It doesn't have to be a major investment or long-term, in fact it explicitly references "Daily Self-Renewal". I believe the original comment branch just meant don't worry about "what's applicable to the CTO".
Correct. But those 2nd tier sources don't have the NYT copy verbatim. Do you really think the US NFL, as an example, would let OpenAI use all of its recorded games as a way to train some new GenAI game framework to build better American Football games? No. All that material is copyright. Public media is going to move to a very awkward era of ownership and licensing because all of these large companies looking to make a buck off public data sets are doing very little to make the economic model less one sided.

I hope the NYT prevails here, personally. Models will (and are) currently tainted by data they should not contain and for longer term privacy concerns this needs to be addressed early and have significant consequences or we're headed towards a world where this type of technology will make our ad-targeted world seem like a much more manageable past.
Good news on that front, FreeCAD is working on adding an official Assembly workbench as we speak. They added OndselSolver as the core back in november, and seem to be working to add the workbench by the next major version. https://blog.freecad.org is a great place to keep an eye on things.

> Because by my personal experience, you totally can code a monolith in a strictly modular fashion, with clean interface-based API boundaries between the separate parts.

This is my experience as well. In fact, that's exactly how we transformed a spaghetti mess monolith into something that was still a monolith, but clean and well abstracted. As things evolved, we even split some of the interfaces out into first-class web services that we hosted on different infrastructure. It was a near-trivial operation.

For me, adhering to Service Oriented Architecture has been the consistent them of keeping things manageable. Thinking about who "owns" data vs. who "uses" it, how data from these different domains is linked, and keeping things modular and logically distinct are the real keys. This applies on the whole spectrum from monolith to microservices, and makes for maintainable code where key functionality can easily be split out if needed.
Hah, you're right. Serves me for typing late at night.
People obsess over the compiler flags (and there was a short time when everything else seemed to be x86-32bit and Gentoo was one of the very few distros where you could compile everything for amd64) but the real advantage of Portage is the USE flags; where you can turn off major things like X support, or disable IPv4 entirely, etc. Nothing else I've ever encountered allows that customizability.

And that's been much more important to me than cflags, which I set once and ignore, ever since trying to install a command-line MP3 player on an ancient RedHat brought in an entire X install.
2 years is huge. Being legitimately there is huge.

1. Right now you can be a "tourist" and have to leave/re-enter every 3 months. So things like renting an apartment for a year become out of the question, since SK could arbitrarily not let you re-enter. So you're stuck with the whims of hostel / airbnb owners.

2. Being a "tourist", you can't open a bank account or get a legit phone number. So you can't verify on Naver, which means you can't do things like book appointments for businesses that use Naver (which a lot of them do). You can't use KakaoPay without it either, so exchanging money with South Koreans means resorting to bitcoin which is just tedious.
Not that I disagree exactly, but how do you see the people making the knowledge being rewarded for their work?
It's not just security features that need Hyper-V. Also WSL (Linux on Windows) or the Android Subsystem (run any side loaded app or anything from the Amazon App Store) need Hyper-V. Both of them are super useful for me, more and more things are iOS/Android App based only. Linux should speak for itself.
