> You omitted the end of my sentence in your quote, which is operative in this case.

My apologies. I've re-added it with an edit note.

I think its a reach to say 'the system' was created to exploit 4th amendment loopholes, especially in this case. Again, the patients privacy isn't compromised by the pharmacies at all here. The state has its claim of a vested interest in prescription activity, much like with drivers licenses and vehicle registration, and has a database of said data, much like with licenses and vehicle registration.

If I start running tags to see where someone lives to stalk them, thats bad, and illegal. If I start running prescription data for someone to see what they're on and stalk them, thats bad and illegal.

If a car dealer says "These VINs on the car dont match, we think something was stolen" we can investigate it by accessing the state database. We will likely see some personal information of someone who isnt guilty of anything in the process of this investigation. If a doctor says "This person filled a prescription under my name that I didnt write" we can investigate it by accessing the state database. We will likely see some personal information of someone who isnt guilty of anything in the process of this investigation.

My assertion here isnt "Everything is fine, change nothing". Its "If you're concerned about privacy here, you are looking at the wrong target". Warrant requirements could be reasonable. Whether we get them or not, I think a good start would be auto-redacting Prescription Monitoring Program reports. If Doctor Adams says Bill filled a fraudulent script, because Adams doesnt write for percocet, I shouldnt see every name for every prescription on Adams' report. That should be redacted. Then if I see a script for percocet, which we've established is fraudulent, we then un-redact the "patient" name.

Again, CVS handing me a copy of a prescription that I already know is fake is the least significant issue at hand.
We could have a great browser in Firefox but it's been infiltrated by the same corporate virus we see everywhere. They need to just stick to creating a browser first before other initiatives. They need to listen to their users.
If I had to guess it's this, but it seems like the researcher's claims didnt stand up to scrutiny.

You forgot about fair remuneration. Most employers think that they are doing potential employee a favour and the employees should kiss their feet just for reading the offer.

I don't respond to job offers that don't include _minimum_ pay (not "up to") and I don't respond to low-ball offers.

Fair remuneration should also include true equity in the business as otherwise it is exploitation, as at software business the profits are typically not linked to rewards for people creating those profits - it's all get creamed by shareholders.

So if your company generates millions or billions and you only offer a salary? No thanks.
What part is failing? Do you see the grub bootloader or is it failing before that?

If you do systemd (which is what I'm using), then you might look at systemd.boot for UEFI. That's currently what I'm using.

I ask, because one issue I ran into was messing up the kernel config. Pulling the livecd config in and using that as the base config worked for me.
> This industry needs some regulation

Are there cases of open source projects being careless or negligent that have caused harm that this would address? Aside from some unintentional vulnerabilities that have been found, it’s hard for me to think of an example that would necessitate more regulation.

Nobody is denying partitioning is helpful. It’s the implementation details of that partitioning that cause the debate. IMO using repos as a partition boundary is an abuse of git. And IMO invoking Plato to make a point is not helpful. Argumentum ad antiquitatem. This goes for the “30 years” comment as well: it’s entirely conceivable that they’ve been doing things inefficiently for 30 years. More likely that there is such a huge sunk cost that they are heavily invested in justifying it.

Yes exactly, the interview itself is a bit less than half of the work surprisingly and then you do need a real break after all of that very intense concentration anyways. 1 interview = roughly half a day gone, that's what I've experienced.

And then it's indeed never valued inside the company, worse than that, it might be counted against you since you will achieve less in your team where all the evaluation will take place...

I really don't understand why companies don't value engineers capable of conducting interviews because it's really not an easy task, you need much better than average interpersonal skills and much better than average tech knowledge as well.

Perhaps less pitchfork brandishing, more reading the article?

> all blame/liability should lie with ... the provider of commercial software

Is precisely what the EU intend to do (according to the article - no idea how accurate it is), not put the liability on open source devs.

From the article:

> So, how is open-source software implicated? If a commercial software product causes harm, whoever put the software on the market will soon be strictly liable. You will need to prove that your code wasn’t to blame to escape the costs. But what if you’ve embedded open-source code, used open-source tools, or called open-source APIs? Under the pending rules, you’d be liable for any errors in those sources as well, regardless of whether you directly contributed or not. A license like the one Apache provides won’t help, since state-imposed strict liability isn’t a harm that can be licensed away by private actors. The user must be made whole, and that’s on you. Worse still, how will you in turn identify or sue the collaborator or collaboration that actually wrote the faulty open-source code to recoup your costs? In that case, the license you signed likely insulates your open-source partners from your claims.

I'm happy to see the link here as I was curious about the subject given that my career started in US Steel's data center in Pittsburgh.

I'm saddened by the fact that this retelling seems mostly negative and ignores a large part of US Steel's evolution into USX. The retelling is subtractive whether you view Marathon Oil's involvement as a positive complementary asset play at the time or a negative given the history of its divestiture.

I can say that there was innovation in the data center where I worked in the evolution from manual human mainframe era data center operations to token ring networks of PC API's along with abstraction and automation via glue code.

The minimization of manual human labor as people retired is likely lost to the history books unless one of my old technical collaborators decides to write a book in retirement.

The CMU kids I worked with at US Steel's data center in Pittsburgh were just as smart as the ones I worked with in the software industry from Boston to Seattle.
> under the impression that your competitors are all sitting around twiddling their thumbs?

If the premise of the article is correct (that ghosting, and by inference other poor communication, is very much the norm) then that impression would hardly be massively inaccurate.
This interconnector was already exporting to Denmark earlier in the week when the UK was experiencing record wind generation (per Electricity Maps [1]). The link currently can’t be maximized from West Denmark to the UK due to transmission constraints on the DK side.

When I first got it I tested a few games on my 2022 M1 Max 64GB 16" MBP both natively and in Windows ARM.

The only one that I remember is Crusader Kings II. It has a native MacOS version which I tried and it ran pretty rough. Very, very choppy on the map. I didn't tweak any graphics settings from the defaults and put no effort into making it run better, FWIW.

Next, I ran it via Windows ARM in Parallels. Now that I'm writing this I have no idea what I did to test it. I feel like it just ran but I don't think I did anything specific to make an x86 process run on ARM. Maybe Windows ARM does that for you, I forget.

Anyway, it ran really well. Absolutely much, much better than the native app. It felt completely smooth navigating the map, etc. I did NOT play it in a big game that lasted hundreds of years. I probably did 5 turns, mostly checking to see how smooth scrolling the map and the UI/UX stuff was.

I have a 4090'd gaming desktop so it wasn't a big deal to me to be able to game on the mac which is why I put as much effort into this as you can see. lmao.

It's amazing at everything else!

Why should I be held accountable if you just run some code you found on GitHub? Am I reliable when I sell hammers and you bash your face in?

/e: let me clarify, I agree with the three comments under me. You, the commercial entity using my code, is accountable. I am not liable if you as a private person run my shitty code. I was thinking of private persons and being on the hook for my GitHub repos.
I'm slowly migrating a lot of my browsing out of Safari and into LibreWolf, and using the opportunity to document accounts/passwords that i want to keep.

If i were willing to get an iPhone, then i'd be quite happy with Safari (i don't have Chrome installed on my Mac), but I want the ability to have my bookmarks available on multiple phones & computers... so firefox profiles (in LibreWolf) is the mechanism i've decided to use for that (for now)
> as the documents arent invading privacy anymore than what already happens.

Nope. Invading privacy is invading privacy. Just because something is happening today does not make it okay and acceptable

> call the doctor

Is this the 70s? Call the doctor? Do you call the doctor for every prescription?

Here is a wild idea: we have tjis thing called the internet and this other wild thing called PKI. Give the doctor a certificate pair and they digitally sign every prescription. You don't ever need to talk to the doctor, you just need to pull their public certs.

Since we're doing privacy, give the chumps that need the prescription a cert pair and encrypt their shit + make it a crime to store any of their PII at pharmacy level.

What about dual dog and cat people?

Also, we have a native central american dog, according to her DNA and Cornell Vet School's database, and she's basically like our cats.

She's not attention seeking, unless we're all playing, and she's very pack loyal, like our cats.

With strangers, like the local coyotes or bobcats(lynxes), she'll just stare observing the person but never be up in their personal space seeking attention. Just observes...

People wkll invest in the ventures that have a profit, because those can weather the storm. Eventually the growth of those companies creates the economic surplus that allows greater specialization to return, only built on a foundation of profitable companies.

When you bail companies out, you create zombies that dont need to compete for the business, they will weather the storm and come out the other side monopolizing the market. The specialization that flows from that is the spread of a cancer, doubling down on a failed foundation.
I find this article and the reactions here confusing. This seems to me like unequivocally a good thing for open-source devs.

Making commercial vendors who rely on open source software liable for bugs is fantastic news, that's how it always should have been. You can't have a commercial company throw their hands up and say "well github.com/cutefuzzypuppy is at fault for writing an open-source npm package we used so harm to our customers is not our fault!"
I can think of exactly one rather popular one: left-pad.

The author should have been liable for the damage they caused. The industry self-regulated itself but that is a case that I can think of, specifically caused by negligence.

I don't think it's meaningless on this context. Even the lower level of the average developer income in Europe would qualify. It shows the visa requirements are quite inclusive.
I'd argue that it "won" (read: achieved the majority of market share) because it was relentlessly pushed by Google, the search engine with the majority of market share.

It seems the author is refering to the EU Cybersecurity Act that should be voted early 2024.

The last draft clearly excludes open source software as long as there is no commercial activity associated. If voted in this state, it won't affect the vast majority of developers releasing some code under an Open Source license. But it will wipe out all small businesses: if you're a solo company selling support or feature development on some Open Source software you wrote, paperwork and liability are just not worth it.

And good luck selling anything relying on existing Open Source libraries, because you're now liable for them too. Given the cost of a security audit, you may as well stop trying and just sell SaaS (which is explicitely excluded from the bill, funny).

Larger companies of course won't care and will continue shipping buggy software riddled with security holes because they can afford the paperwork and absorb the legal risk.
I wish I could! I can’t until they have better account/profile switching. I use that on Chrome heavily for test users and debugging.
And Chrome does this too. They want you to know about new features, and they're easy to dismiss.

The only reason Safari doesn't is because they aren't developing it because it's too broken already. So much doesn't work with Safari.
I mean, mess is a bit subjective in Google's case. Sure, they tend to take on a lot of side-projects only to inevitably abandon them, and they did slip behind in the AI race, but there's a huge difference between "stagnant giant with way too much money" messy and "if our browser market share gets any lower government websites won't support our browser" messy.

This has happened to me multiple times, including from large YC-funded companies. I'm tempted to name-and-shame, but I doubt it would do any good.

I don't consider anyone obligated to respond to a resume or application, but stopping communication in the middle of the interview process is utterly disrespectful and does not speak well of your company's values and culture.
> This industry needs some regulation

I concur, but I don't agree this is in the right direction.

> I'm mostly curious what that means for something like the MIT license

I think the article addressed that. Let me quote it for you:

> Today you can license-away that liability by putting the onus on the user to accept the risk, since bugs happen and hackers hack. Not your fault, you did your best, and you told the user that upfront. My read of the emerging regime changes that. It forces you to prove your code wasn’t the cause of the harm – “strict liability” in legal circles. Products like cars often get regulated this way. Essentially, the carmaker is at fault when something goes wrong unless they can prove they’re not.

> A license like the one Apache provides won’t help, since state-imposed strict liability isn’t a harm that can be licensed away by private actors.

If strict liability isn't a harm that can be licensed away by private actors then the last sentence you quoted couldn't be enforced:

> IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.
(a) has been copied in quite a few languages now. Here's my OCaml copy: https://bitstring.software/documentation/ (sorry about the bad website cert, it's not under my control) https://github.com/xguerin/bitstring We handle endianness very naturally. Performance of the OCaml version depends on whether everything is byte-aligned. It will compile-time optimize byte-aligned stuff to be fast, and do slow bit shifting for everything else. I believe this is an advantage over the Erlang original.

Also agreed on the parts reuse. I design medical devices and I know of heart pumps that have Mercedes solenoids in them, I just designed a surgical robot that I put a ford part in. One of those little clip nuts. It was perfect for what I needed.
> and didn't get compensated any for it

So why would you do it? Such a big red flag. It means that employers will expect doing work for free (in some countries this is illegal) and potential employees should know about it.
Prescriptions exist to allow a non-doctor access to drug classified by the FDA/FHA as being “dangerous”. I agree that we should make all drugs legal in the sense that it’s a mental health problem but I’m not for allowing everyone access to fentanyl.

The developer tools are pretty similar in my experience. I think it's maybe just that you're not used to it. And did you know that developer tools like this actually started in Firefox with the Firebug plugin?

Firefox is not slower with more complex web apps, you either have a (site) specific problem or are not judging fairly.

And even if you use Chromium, you are supporting Google's power position in browser technology influence. Which they use to push through web standard that benefit them, but not the users. Firefox has a more open ecosystem that is not focused on the benefit of one particular company.

I think Commando was also part of Macintosh Programmers Workshop, which another commenter here noted was kinda unixish (which I agree.)
