The DMCA's are also for their source game.

It is the long death of what we once knew as valve. In 2010 these kinds of projects would have been supported and motivated by valve devs. It would be sponsored and happily on the steam store even. Theyve allowed so many source game assets to be used in non licensed ways that they have effectively been used as open libraries for game dev. It is the idea behind garrys mod and countless source clones.

Valve has a choice, they don't have to cry copyright infringement. Portal and TF2 are widely profited successfull games. Nobody is stealing profits because they're fundamentally transformative works not designed to compete.

Even in the bad case, the solution is communication, not lawyers. By introducing lawyers into this valve is intentionally escalating the issue. If they actually thought it was worth the DMCA it would be worth a conversation. There are open source N64 libraries that replace the very old n64 libs.

Unfortunately this means that valve is no longer a corp headed by game devs. It's corporate exec, HR and lawyer types. Likely due to the fact that Gabe Newell has been largely uninvolved in the last 10 years. They're following the market trend because innovation is hard and requires strong vision and leadership.
Using a version controlled database gives you "soft deletes" with none of the downsides he mentions (except GDPR -- a versioned data store is probably hard to make GDPR compliant).

> I've worked with a lot of teams that have one smart person building stuff off to the side, in R or a Notebook, and then nobody knows how to productionize it. They try to throw the algorithm over the fence. Even if the team somehow succeeds in getting it into an A/B test, it eventually falls by the wayside, unless they can build a team and workflow around that person / algorithm / methodology.

In my view, this marks a cultural failure - and certainly not on the part of the 'one smart person.'

I used to use TurboTax Free Edition, constantly frustrated with all the dark patterns used to try to trick you into switching to non-free. Eventually I started making too much to use Free Edition, which is right around the time Credit Karma started offering free tax filing, but I hated CK's UI/UX. It made it easy to miss a deduction, and it did once. I used TT to basically "prepare" my taxes, but not actually file so I don't get charged, then prepared with CK and found a discrepancy. I was able to find and fix it and get my full refund.

But then some years ago, someone recommended FreeTaxUSA, and it's great. UI/UX is fine, federal filing is free, and state filing is only $15.

I've been using FreeTaxUSA for a few years now. 10/10 would recommend.

I have found a lot of pro-Palestinian YouTube videos are put behind warnings pages unnecessarily - the preventing them from going viral.

Here is a great example, this Chris Hayes of MSNBC news segment on the MSNBC YouTube channel where he is incredibly critical of what Israeli leaders are saying:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WTHVseqZdw

Notice the warning says:

"The following content may contain graphic or violent imagery"

There are no such warnings on the official MSNBC website on this video, thus it is specific to YouTube: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/chris-hayes-the-war-in-...

I've seen this happen on another video, one calling on the games industry to be supportive of the Palestinian struggle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDB_wYdn5f4

You can find a ton of videos on YouTube with similar content or worse that the Chris Hayes's video that is critical of Israel, but they are allowed: https://www.youtube.com/@msnbc/search?query=israel

Here is probably the best example, here is an official IDF video that shows clearly dead bodies and there is no YouTube content warning, just a warning that the IDF put in their video - thus allowing this video to still go viral: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta7ScT67vQ0

I have literally loaded Debian Woody (circa 2002) onto a modern 64 bit Linux kernel from over 20 years later, and it just works.

As for "more stuff", I'm not sure what you are referring to but I suspect it's difficult to compare. Linux's networking, hardware support, debugging and introspection facilities, files systems (off the top of my head) have always been way ahead of what Windows offers. I suspect that until DRM, Windows GUI / GPU was a long way been ahead of Linux particularly after they virtualised the GPU (in Vista?). But perhaps Linux has caught up now by slicing the cake differently.

The Atari 2600+ may be closer to what you were talking about. It is an SBC running an emulator, but it has external interfaces for the real Atari 2600 cartridge and joystick ports. There are some drawbacks; the system snarfs the entire ROM image into memory in a way that's not (yet) compatible with bank-switched ROMs or more exotic carts with extra hardware like Pitfall II, rather than just mapping the ROM into the 6502 address space. But when it works it feels more authentically Atari 2600-ish than many of the emulation boxes that have been released previously.

IMHO "barrier to entry" implies success and not mere existence. It's like barrier to entry into singing, everyone can sing but the barrier to entry into singing career is actually quite high. Very few things have true barrier to entry and its mostly about purchasing an equipment or license.
Hi cynical! Overhead is the sun - it is a massively more abundant energy resource than coal could ever be. It has run for billions of years and has at least one more left in it. Coal is a finite resource and not a very pleasant one to mine.

Solar generation is generally quite dispersed instead of few monolithic coal plants.

That's just solar. There is also wind and wave, geo-thermal and many more ways to generate electricity (power). That's diversification and that surely is easier to defend.

I would suggest that relying on one power source is painting yourself into a corner and then drinking the paint.

Germany can do it with a combination of wind, solar, batteries, and hydrogen.

The green hydrogen is crucial, to deal with Dunkelflauten and to some extent seasonality. Germany has ample salt formations for cheap hydrogen storage. At the site I linked elsewhere in these comments, the solution for 24/7 power from RE is nearly doubled in Germany if green hydrogen is omitted.

Germany is suffering now from the decision to pay for the 2009-2012 solar builds using long term high rates. When that ends (2032?) the costs should come down a lot. Building out solar now should be much less expensive.

> So it isn't clear how much capacity has been lost in this switch. They may also be other changes in the generation portfolio that aren't discussed in the article.

I understand why people are so quick to argue against batteries as a power supply when they are unproven in a given scenario. I think it's a narrow way of thinking that ignores everything we know about the progression of technology and devalues the skilled professionals actually doing this work, but I understand. What I don't understand is what compels a person to grasp at straws and pose speculative "what ifs" after a project is successfully in operation. What more do you need? Does it need to run fifty years before you're convinced?

I worked on a solar project a number of years back that was one of the first that was actually independently financially sustainable. It was in west Texas in an area that had a highly distributed population and very hot summers. So the existing energy sources were already higher than normal and had the added dimension of spiking demand. Perfect environment for solar to be competitive.

Some people own bitcoin only because they expect its value to increase due to demand from others. There is nothing inherently invalid about this-- speculation occurs in all kinds of valuable assets and it serves the public good of creating a demand buffer.

For those parties, bitcoin's general properties are not very relevant and a centeralized list maintained by DTCC may well better serve their particular needs. To the extent that it does: more power to them!
"Politics and micromanagement have taken over, and HR processes take up far too much of everyone’s time."

Too many engineers are unable to see the contradiction when they complain about people problems, and then in the next breath question the need for any people or processes to help with those problems.

only one data point, but fwiw when I worked for Google I found some actively toxic youtube content w/upwards of 500k views that was telling children to off themselves, and despite using my employee back-channel connections the most I was able to get was an eventual "I'm not allowed to do anything about this" from a YouTube moderator, though it seemed to be for technical reasons (all the nasty content was in annotations, which apparently weren't wired into the moderation pipeline). There definitely wasn't a red button for me to hit as an employee to get it taken down.
Any tips on finding these positions? I'd love to work at a shop like this but don't know anyone who works at one and they most likely do majority of their hiring through their employees' networks.
lets say we did this, and we got the tiny probes up to even ~speed of light... then what are they going to do when they get there? what sensors can they carry and report back. And we wouldn't be able to slow them down, so they're going to transit through the target solar system relatively quickly (days even).
Lasers are running at 30-40% efficiency so for a 100GW laser you need 400GW power plant. But the power plant and transmission has some losses so you probably would need 500GW
I am not sure how to evaluate security of my data across Saas tax web apps, but I am warier of smaller scrapier players on that front having worked at startups.

Their website is not reassuring to a web/database developer like myself who is aware of some of the loopholes, threats (insiders, developers) and protection options (separating db admin from masking admin, etc). They do/claim the very basics and that's about it.

I never correlate my growth with the company I am working for; sometimes, you overgrow the company, and it is time to leave.

"Pays okay; 100% remote; very few meetings; low standards for productivity mean I have great work/life balance" seems like a perfect workplace.

What you need is probably a project outside of work to challenge you. I built my own company 13 years ago as a side project (I still run it up to this day as a side project) because I was a Mobile developer and Would like to keep doing Web development.

Today, I am having fun with my Open-source project https://github.com/mateusfreira/nun-db. When I have too many meetings or fight fewer coding challenges in my work, writing my own distributed database keeps me fresh and challenged. With it, I learned Rust and also distributed systems, which made me read books and papers that would never be needed for my normal work.

I see that as growing, and it has brought me great opportunities. Times these side projects become companies, and you make money; times, they bring job opportunities that you would not have otherwise.

You should leave a company when your growth is faster and more than the company can take in. Meanwhile, use the low pressure to go after other challenges personally; that is my way of dealing with it.
