That's all well and good if you're willing to leave a lot of money on the table. All the companies that hand out half-a-million to a million-dollars/yr total compensation packages operate using similar hiring processes.

That's a lot of money over the span of even a few years to miss out on.
The idea is that you'd build it into whatever command-line parsing tool you use. Presumably this would be runtime-specific. And yes, the entire point is to escape the terminal and rely on native interface constraints (e.g. disabling/enabling) to reflect the usage of the tool.
I went right down a rabbit hole with Subterranea magazine…

Sorry! But the magazine is genuinely fascinating.
Interesting that in beginning of January a lot of the job cuts are being announced, I'm sure decisions were made previous months. Is it because of the time to recover for potential backslash in the quartarely reports or any other reason?
> Is corruption actually worse in the US

Yes, in particular America has by far the largest pharmaceutical and medical devices industries in the world, so politicians in other countries have no particularly strong incentive to prioritize healthcare profits over wellbeing. Ask a thousand healthcare economists why healthcare in the US is so expensive and 99% will have this in their top 3 answers.

> Tell them it will be done and ask how, you’ll get 100 solutions

Here’s the solutions: demographic shifts due to death, labor strikes, or violence. Voting in 2024 isn’t one of them. I will still vote because it’s easy and makes some minuscule difference, but there is no mainstream political will for change here.

>Now in an emergency, systems failures, the Airbus will downgrade to how the Boeing works. Full back stick will be an unlimited pitch-up and the pilots need to manually figure out what the maximum is.

You're referring to Alternate Law and the more extreme version, Direct Law. One note is that it's not always an emergency that can cause this. If important sensors like AOA or airspeed disagree (for example, due to a temporarily-frozen pitot tube), that will also reduce to alternate or direct depending on the situation.

Unfortunately this can bite pilots badly if they either don't notice or don't understand the new situation quickly enough. There have been one or two crashes attributed to this over the years. [See Air France 447]

Affordable is the trick, though - while I totally understand why that is important, sometimes it seems like we're going to end up saying: "Sorry we are going extinct... staying alive wasn't profitable."

I know that is both an idealistic and hyperbolic take on things. The bigger point is that when people say "affordable", they often really mean "profitable". But we cannot afford not to fix the problems.

> One of two conditions must then hold: either a) dlopen has legal significance, or b) much of the Linux ecosystem is out of compliance with the GPL because it attempts to use pipe() to circumvent the GPL and this approach doesn't actually work. Which is it?

Afaik the FSF agrees with your dichotomy and expresses the latter opinion. Take for instance their faq "You cannot incorporate GPL-covered software in a proprietary system. ... However, in many cases you can distribute the GPL-covered software alongside your proprietary system. To do this validly, you must make sure that the free and nonfree programs communicate at arms length, that they are not combined in a way that would make them effectively a single program. The difference between this and “incorporating” the GPL-covered software is partly a matter of substance and partly form. The substantive part is this: if the two programs are combined so that they become effectively two parts of one program, then you can't treat them as two separate programs. So the GPL has to cover the whole thing."

In another question, they address the notion of what might be considered a single combined porogram. "It depends on how the main program invokes its plug-ins. If the main program uses fork and exec to invoke plug-ins, and they establish intimate communication by sharing complex data structures, or shipping complex data structures back and forth, that can make them one single combined program. A main program that uses simple fork and exec to invoke plug-ins and does not establish intimate communication between them results in the plug-ins being a separate program.

"If the main program dynamically links plug-ins, and they make function calls to each other and share data structures, we believe they form a single combined program, which must be treated as an extension of both the main program and the plug-ins. If the main program dynamically links plug-ins, but the communication between them is limited to invoking the ‘main’ function of the plug-in with some options and waiting for it to return, that is a borderline case.

"Using shared memory to communicate with complex data structures is pretty much equivalent to dynamic linking."

So I don't think that the FSF intends that you can use a technical means to escape linking. You cannot take a GPL library and write a pair of libraries which expose its functions via a socket because the result would almost certainly involve "function calls to each other and share[d] data structures".

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html

As to whether this puts into jeopardy anyone in particular who uses Linux or libmysql in proprietary systems without additional licences, well, that is a different matter. The FSF's interpretation of the GPL tells you something about when the FSF might sue you and about what revisions might be made to the GPL in the future. But it doesn't tell you about when the copyright holders of Linux or libmysql might sue you, or what they will do if there's a GPL v5.2 released tomorrow.
Cool! In a similar vein, I've wondered if it's possible to design a reasonably secure zero knowledge proof or challenge/response scheme that's simple enough to be performed using only mental math and maybe some simple physical tools like playing cards or dice (ideally no pen and paper). This way you could prove that you know some secret without it ever even leaving your brain. If it can be done without any external tools at all, then you could even use it in public settings without any fear of your secret leaking.
I am old enough to know a time when these signs did not exist and the shortcuts were unlabeled doors looking like the typical emergency exit.

I am a bit confused about it being treated as a socially relevant issue - it definitely was a relevant socially sensitive issue back then, but that was 100 years ago, and now it's not an active issue - as far as I understand, women can vote in currently literally every country in the world which has voting; there are some countries where nobody can vote, but that's still treating women equally with respect to voting rights.

This whole system of arbitrary enforcement on an "app store" seems weird to me. Real question: Would our economies be better off with stronger regulation around app stores? In the last one year, I am leaning more towards yes. My thinking: Many small companies are completely beholden to a single app store. If any small thing goes wrong, the business get the middle finder and suffers greatly. It seems like a David and Goliath situation, but Goliath drives a Leopard 2 tank and David still has a sling shot.

Idea: What if there were some minimum, legal requirements for app stores? Example: If the app store owner enforces a rule, it must be enforced equally on all apps. (Obviously, that did not happen in this case.) If complaining / escalating due to unfair treatment is not remedied, there is a neutral gov't board that can make a ruling. This is not unlike labour union relations in countries with strong labour laws.

Linux will be eternally doomed to <5% market share as long as it's developers harbor their masochistic fetishization of the linux terminal.

You have ostensibly "user friendly" distros like Ubuntu, that still, in 2024, refuse to implement the standard ctrl+v for paste and add a modern cursor to their terminal.

The OS is kept artificially difficult to use, just because it's maintainers get off on knowing it's cryptic interface language. Imagine an LLM better than GPT-4, but the devs only speak Klingon and refuse to implement English because Klingon is more efficient on paper. Then they constantly groan about low adoption and training data availability, while death gripping Klingon as the superior way of interfacing.

Please, for the sake of humanity trapped in Microsoft's dungeon, please come down off your CLI high horse and make a user friendly OS.

That remains to be seen. Ukraine has completely upended military doctrine of the last 30 years.

The F-35 has never been proven in combat, and it's an open question as to whether its' known weaknesses will matter in a high intensity near-peer conflict.
Article mentions Sentry's shift from tracking to "brand and awareness marketing". Thanks to their recently acquired Syntax Podcast (recommended), I am now quite aware of their brand.

Yes, I had interference at one moment and moved the devices to the farthest points on each room, so that doesn't happen now, but the problem I mentioned before (turning on the wrong light) still happens.

I forgot to say that the problem mostly occurs when I ask Alexa to set the (unspecified, but hopefully the one belonging to the room the corresponding Echo is) light's brightness to X. Sometimes, in that case, it turns on the light from the other room.

I didn't check the audio transcript when this happens though, that's a good one, thanks.

Lets say my front door is open. Someone takes a picture of it and sends it to me so I can close and lock it. Once it is closed, they explain that they offer a service where they will help homeowners make sure that they keep their doors closed. They plan to use the picture they took to illustrate how they help identify open doors to show why people might want to be their client. However, if I want to pay them for the service the provided, then I get to decide if and how any information about my door being open is used.

More or less that - the rationale being that pilots could overreact in stressful emergency situations and thus the flight control system would prevent unintentional damage that would only make the situation worse.

Start with finding hundreds/thousands/hundreds of thousands of people who will follow you to arbitrary places and adventures. I'm sure Elon Musk could do something; Taylor Swift could too.

Once you have a large enough following for some reason (and ideally a fairly committed one; IDK if "follows someone on YouTube, like MrBeast" is enough -- has to be more like "my favorite musician/artist" or "business idol" or something), the rest is comparatively easy. You could pay people for all the stuff.

Basically the five routes today are: 1) Network State (stuff less than a state at start, ground up) 2) Negotiating with an existing state (free trade zone with more autonomy) 3) Seasteading (mostly an engineering and capital problem) 4) Space (also an engineering and capital problem) 5) Military conquest. Over the past ~70 years the last option didn't really exist, but increasingly it probably could work in some very specific locations, especially if you can find a fig leaf of "this local guy actually needs to be in power, not the guy in power now".

You know, at some point, in the interest of a free internet we should consider whether penalizing the mostly-benevolent-cogs along the way is the right way to go about it. It's not like someone operating that service is specifically consenting to every packet that flows through them so it shouldn't be treated in a court room as if they gave their explicit blessing for whatever malfeasance came to happen.

I don't accept the argument that by attempting to benefit the common good that one must be responsible for what happens or how that's used. Many items and actions of good will can be weaponized, in ways that the media finds odious like the things you mentioned, but nobody comes after the cell phone operators, the ISPs, they attack the weak link that cant afford representation in court - the solo and small operators. It's stupid and I'm surprised it fools the voter base in the current epoch.
