It's repeated a lot, but I think it needs to be supported, especially in detail: Where do regulations have the highest impact on developers, and where are they most valuable to the tenants and community?

Regulations that require decent, safe housing are important and valuable. In a very densely populated environment of millions of people, regulations are needed to make good, safe neighbors.

>Wanting to make everyone aware of who you are or what you have created, whilst simultaneously demanding that they pay for the privilege, seems at odds.

If I could do the latter without the former, I would happily do it. I don't want to be plastered on billboards and on celebrity gossip.

But it's a universal bias of humanity that attaching a face to a product sells more, so turning yourself into a brand is just that, another tactic for more money. Of course, some people want to fame so that can be an incentive. But not everyone. For every Musk, there are a dozen billionaires who stay out of the public eye as best they can.

>We are obsessed in modern times, that we must be paid for everything we do - largely because governments and businesses have made this so

largely because artists barely survive otherwise. Few people want to have a 3 job hustle. Few peopel also want $2000 rent. We only have control of one of these.

There will always be hustlers, but during economy booms you will see less and during recessions you will see a lot more. This isn't limited to art. If you want more generosity from labor, make the artists comfortable instead of fighting for scraps that the billion dollar corportaitons threw out for them. Corps don't do "commissions".

>Barter the tangible, not the intangible. The 'knowledge' economony is a parasite on humanity.

Marx theory is about the fight of classes in society. There is nothing predictable about how this fight will happen. The only prediction is that in the end only one class will remain. It cannot be the bourgeoisie simply because they don't work! Moreover, even if only the bourgeoisie happened to survive without work, their instinct is to kill each other (economically) until only one remains. So his observation, that the final state must be some form of socialism or total destruction, makes complete sense.
Indeed, once an extension reaches a certain threshold, I would assume it would be best practice to do at least a mild audit.

> how do we encourage the "right" kind of immigrants for the skills or roles we want to expand

Remove a decade long backlog for Indian nationals coming to work in Skilled fields (STEM, Accounting, Healthcare, Finance, Law) by speeding up processing times by hiring more bodies at USCIS Processing Centers.

And also maybe not forcing every Chinese national who studied STEM in China to go through enhanced background checks [0].

And also hiring more immigration judges (I knew a former Immigration Judge with the DHS - they de facto had a hiring freeze since the 2010s, leading to case backlogs).

Tl;dr - stop defunding the DHS and USCIS

Yeah, but it's a single-use placeholder. AFAIK It can't do things like:

All the underscore does is let you pass the piped argument as a named argument instead of the first otherwise-unfilled argument.
> where the shadow of the building will fall or how many parking spaces must be included

Those are valuable to the community, so the street isn't perpetually in shade and people can see the sky (there are lots of tall buildings), and so neighbors and retail customers can still find parking after your new 50-story skyscraper's tenants move in.
> 2. This won't change anything except forcing projects to waste money in legal BS, when the responsibility should be uniquely on the commercial entities USING and providing a service (and therefore making money) with the OSS software

First of all, most of the software companies do SaaS, meaning they also provide the service. And then, even if they don't, the users will just hand down the paperwork to the companies developing the software. Because those know what was put in, security and components, and want to have this in legal writing.

Secondly, imagine your average IoT seller. They should not be liable for their bad product because they don't run it themselves? "The user" is liable? In most cases the "user" can't even do anything about their insecure device.

I think developers are rightly responsible here. It's pretty comparable to other industries where the products have to be safe when getting sold, think pharma, food, toys, cars, etcpp.

> Will it actually improve security? I don't think so.

Think B2C. It will improve things there, and massively so.
Software in B2B was already somewhat regulated via audits and certifications.

I don't think that Kafka is bad per se, it's just that it's often used as a message queue which it doesn't seem optimised for. Half of the stuff you need for a proper MQ (e.g. DLT handling) isn't provided by Kafka proper (although interestingly it is provided by spring-kafka - but that locks you into that tech and just means another abstraction which makes things harder to understand). Also, Kafka doesn't really deal well with long-running consumers, something that might be quite necessary for many async systems.

Not sure if you linked the wrong video, but the one you linked to barely supports your comment.

Setting aside that abandoning OpenDoc turned out to be the right call, I see a dude trying to get a rise out of Jobs and Jobs handling it in a very respectful way, going as far as admitting they make mistakes and that he is flawed, but that ultimately the decisions are made with the end user (and sales) in mind and less with what kind of nifty technology is behind it.

Specifically on the matter of 32-bit support, not dropping it would’ve meant not being able to make the leaps forward that they were able to make, which led to a better user experience.

From the developer side of things, as a developer for Apple platforms, it’s a silly discussion to begin with because in 99% of the cases it just meant recompiling it against the latest SDK.

So I have no lost love for devs that couldn’t be arsed, even ignoring the fact that the entire ecosystem is known for rapid improvements and continuous maintenance. In fact that’s what most indie devs love about it.
The only absurd thing is your assumptions about other people. You have zero idea if I even watch YouTube, which creators I support or how, or what my feelings are on the matter.

The REUL act to cancel Retained EU Laws (REULs) starts to bite as of 1 January 2024, AFAIAA.

It maybe that copyright is not currently for the chop, but it seems - in my personal opinion - that the Tory government wish to cancel many EU laws in order to prevent Labour from moving us back towards the EU in the next couple of parliamentary terms. The REUL Act came from Jakob Rees-Mogg MP and it's very much in meeting with his ethos to 'salt the land' and cause damage for generations if he can get a couple of bags of silver out of the deal.

Long story short: we're still following EU law in a lot of areas, but not for much longer. As with the pandemic, the Tory government are no doubt using this as an opportunity to do nefarious deals in order to steal from the taxpayer.
This unfortunately doesn't quite work, because while there's no well defined upper bound, there is a lower bound.
It means you will get treated differently whether you operate a one man show or a global conglomerate.

Follow best practices and demonstrate that you care goes a long way (that has been demonstrated time and time again in courts throughout the union).

Also it differentiates between what kind of product you are building (see the annexes).

Most of the requirements (look them up) are best software dev practices unless you are in one of the specific "critical" categories of products.

Then, to be honest I don't really care that you are a one person (commercial) shop when my car gets steered off the road because of a preventable security hole.

Not defending EMH in any way, but there's a logical flaw in your argument: your wording implicitly pits a cherry-picked example against a broad average: "it's literally impossible [to invest in a small business and beat the market]" - that's not the point. There will exist examples where that worked, but there will also exist some where it failed (like in the article). You have to consider all those cases to compute an average return. And even if you do come up with a higher expected return for a private investment (I don't have the data), you also have to consider the variance/risk: a bad outcome for the S&P500 is maybe minus 20-40% in a year [0]; a bad outcome for a franchise can look like bankruptcy and/or eviction, like in the article.

I'm with the GP poster: if you're thinking about running a business in passive mode as an investment, as it seems it was pitched to those franchisees, you're highly likely better off keeping it in boring investment products. That's not even saying that sane (ie positive risk-adjusted return) passive income opportunities don't exist, but they almost certainly won't look like what's described in the article, with no strategic freedom (you're not allowed to close an unprofitable shop, wth?); apparently coupled with personal liability and massive fixed and upfront costs, that's an absolutely deadly mix. More generally, they will almost never come to you as a pitch, which should be self-evident.

Hardware Design for LLM Inference: Von Neumann Bottleneck
That's really neat! I have all 1536 LEDs in a single string and that definitely is a limiter in terms of framerate but the resolution is so coarse that this hasn't been a problem (so far). But this driver takes it to a completely different level. Unfortunately the Pi Pico (which I would have liked to use) only does 3 A/D channels so that would have ruled out two player games with full x/y control. Fixing that and some other issues would require much more hardware work and I want it to be so simple that even a novice (motivated 12 year old) has a chance of putting it all together.
> Also, \< and \> are in ripgrep 14

Isn't that inconsistent with the way Perl's regex syntax was designed? In Perl's syntax an escaped non-ASCII character is always a literal [^1], and that is guaranteed not to change.

That's nice for beginners because it saves you from having to memorize all the metacharacters. If you are in doubt you on whether something has a special meaning, you just escape it.

Centralization makes a difference here I think. Disney built an impressive machine where everything feeds on everything else. The problem is not so much bad sequels per se, it’s all the marketing that goes into making sure they solidly occupy their corner of our mindshare and force the whole industry to compete churning out more and more subpar sequels. If one company would build a Star Wars theme park, another produced toys etc. etc. this might not be a huge concern.
I was stuck in one of these roles for a while. It's mind numbing.

While you can't work on many projects - due to IP rules - you can often improve your skills and learn. Do you have a personal improvement/education budget? Use it to take relevant courses, buy books, etc. Do you have an equipment budget? Use it to upgrade to the ergonomic keyboard.

The worst case is you still get laid off but now you have things you can take forward. A better case is that you find another role at the company with the new understanding.

Either way, follow the policy exactly. Don't screw around and give them grounds to fire you.
Interesting - for me a built-in pager is an antifeature. I don't want to figure out how to leave the utility. Worst of all, pager usually means that sometimes you get more pages and you need to press q to exit, and sometimes not. Annoying. I often type yhe next command right away and the pager means I get stuck, or worse, pager starts doing something in response to my keys (looking at you, `git log`).

Then again I'm on Linux and can always pipe to less if I need to. I'm also not the target audience for ugrep because I've never noticed that grep would be slow. :shrug:

Fine if they weren't copyrighted today, or ever? Because if copyright was eliminated the day Star Wars was released, other people would have copied the film reels and charged for entry, and Lucas would have hardly made a cent. Or if copyright was eliminated the day he went looking for funding, it wouldn't have ever been made. Personally, I think the world's a little richer for star wars's existence.
> but the older panels we're talking about were multiplexed, so the data would only have to go through the (shift registers for the) previous leds on the same row

True, but those tend to flicker because of that, they are not on steadily and that robs you of a lot of potential to create shades (and you'd need RGB individually, these WS2812B's are 3 LEDs in a single package).

Each LED decodes, stores and regenerates the signal to preserve integrity, that's why it work, there is about 200 ns lag for every LED that you add to a string.
There is no solution. US, Israeli, and Indian cyber-infrastructure is completely intertwined.

There's no possible way to decouple without reversing 30 years of development.

The only solution is to justify to Israel and India why they should continue to align to the US, instead of hacking it on their own.

This justification comes from the carrot (FDI, IP Transfers) and the stick (bad press, cultivating alternative allies, tarriffs)

The era of Hyperpower is over. Regional Powers have returned.

The US Policy world has recognized this for a decade and is operating under those assumptions. The issue is the type of person who gets their news from CNN, Fox, Reddit, Zeihan, Telegram, etc isn't exactly the kind to read policy papers or watch C-SPAN

An elegy for the Jewish retirees of Miami Beach (2019)
When you do `f(x=5)`, x doesn't get set to 5 anywhere you can see (it happens inside the body of f, which you are treating as a black box). So logically, in the context of the code that's calling f, it's not an assignment operation.

Admittedly this kind of goes out the window with a lot of tidyverse non-standard eval stuff. E.g. if you do `df %>% mutate(x = 5)`, then x does get set to 5 in the data frame, so that is logically an assignment of x in a visible scope using '='. Going by my logic, functions like mutate should ideally use a different symbol for operations that alter the input like this, but we run up against syntactic limitations of the language.
Tell HN: GitHub Sponsors 2023 – €206.00 donated to charity

It's pretty obvious that your employer owns work you do for your employer, and things you do on company time or using company equipment. But this "they own everything you do forever even at 2AM at home using your own computer" meme gets repeated all the time and it's complete bullshit regardless of what's actually in your employment contract. And this ignores the fact that the vast majority of employees in the US don't have employment contracts at all and/or live in states that explicitly make these broad types of IP assignment clauses illegal or at least unenforceable.
