> That screwdriver? It used to work when it was first invented and it will still work a thousand years from now.

Maybe it did not and will not -- old screwdriver is probably flat blade, now people use Philips or Pozidriv screws and in some time most will be Torx.

> That car? Keep it maintained and it will take you places for at least the better part of a century. That boat? We can keep boats floating forever.

The same: the fuel and oil is changing (maybe you will not even be able to source gasoline in 2050 if everyone migrated to electric vehicles), and specific spare parts are no longer manufactured.

I guess with large old boats also come expensive support contract - similar to paying someone for a super-long-term individual software support.

> Computers are one of the few, if not only, piece of tool that demands it be replaced every few years, and it probably hasn't even broken down yet which would merit a replacement.

Computers are also relatively new and quickly advancing in features, while the other examples you have mentioned were mostly "stable" for 100 years.

Yeah that's the date it became lazy...
Teams cost money, so that’s a cost-cutting measure. They’ll replace it with a better team, where ‘better’ is defined from a $$$ perspective.

There’s a wide range of options here:

- zero person team, and hope to recover cost from buying from existing subscribers and new buyers/subscribers over time before the app dies.

- replace them with marketeers, and hope to get enough more new buyers/subscribers before the app dies.

- smaller team, making it easier to break-even.

- cheaper developers, making it easier to break-even.

A new development team might just be a skeleton team to keep the app running across OS upgrades, or it might be a much larger team, or anything in-between.
> Not saying it’s not a good app, but your selling your book.

I'm not sure what your point is. Someone requested an alternative, an alternative was proffered and the personal interest disclosed.
They should use some crappy websites like Twitter to do that.
As someone who teaches these things occasionally to non-tech people I think the hard thing about CLI tools are the following:

1. The terminal when you first open it is intimidating to most and doesn't offer any help to figure out how to use it. If people think something is hard, they will have a harder time understanding it as well (same goes for thinking something will be boring, there have been studies on that)

2. Text editing in the terminal works different than literally anywhere else. You can't simply click and mark text, shortcuts are different, etc.

3. You have to get that text has to be exact, you have to know syntax rules with where to put spaces, how to work with quotes, escape strings and all that. That is just not easy. For those of us who already speak any given shell, this may be aomething we forget. But it is like learning a language and a way to think. Once you are fluent, it is easy.

But it is worth it in my opinion, especially if you want to work with niche special tools or if you want reliable tools that will just work for decades.
It's not just the risk. Something like Evernote, for example, if someone has been using it religiously for years, there's a real cost associated with migrating to something new (and probably no better unless it's a completely different workflow).
That picture of the 3 dudes against a yellow background makes me never even want to try this, what does that even have to do with your product?
Same reason they did not block us yet - better to have some users that block ads, than have those users on other plattforms. Now too many people used ad blockers - so step by step they want to "encourage" people to look at ads again or pay for premium. But too strictly enforcing it from day one - would probably mean too many people going away. But giving more time and nagging, more might enlist for premium.

(I won't, I seldom use youtube)
Helping out a useful service? Though who knows really. Cost of services and the price they are sold at are only loosely correlated!

Though honestly it’s totally possible that cloudflare was offering a real discount but it’s still just very high for something like sourcehut.
Oh, then yes, I agree with you.
“Where is the data?” Have you never used third party code that you didn’t compile yourself?

Hell, Unity itself (the topic of this article) is an example. Labview. Some code for talking to a spectrometer we bought for our lab last month. It’s extremely common. People used to sell libraries to do various computations and charge royalties for their use. Probably they still do but I don’t work in that kind of world any more.

You may call it absurd if you like but that’s how the system works. The GPL and LGPL deliberately do not break new ground in that regard. What was/is novel about them is not using an exchange of money, but rather other value instead. No more, no less.
> I think we’ll see a backlash at some point where people abandon these app-driven spaces and we go back to grass roots communities.

To some extent is has already happened. I've seen some upswing in niche forum use but nowhere close to the heyday. Sadly, most people seem to move into private chat channels.
I see.
Also, agreed!
Maybe they were misquoted, who knows. Connections are a nice thing to have and I've never felt bad about asking, knowing the answer could full well be no, but a second opinion is useful when your business is on the line.
> let it shut down

It *is* effectively being shut down *for pirates* (if you can call them that, not sure). Those are the users who are complaining. It's a little weird that those users feel so justified in being angry about it.
Yeah, but that would still have been a poor investment strategy. You have to manage the risk. And you can only do that by looking forward, not backward.
Reading headlines like this my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

What I have been hitting recently is it refusing to answer relatively benign questions for “violating terms of use” and often the only reason I can come up with is that it took the least charitable interpretation of my words possible.
I like the idea but feel confused after going through website and GitHub readme.

It's a tool to scan/inspect, download, push images, install them on clusters that are airgapped (or sometimes airgapped). Ok.

But what is k9s doing there? Or suddenly the tool provisions clusters? And git repositories... And a logging stack...

So is it a tool for helping with deployment or a full k8s distribution? Or even a cicd on top of that?
I loved NOAA Weather Radar before they shut it down.
Julia might get there in confort, but still a lot of catch up to do with a compiled language designed for scientic computing, which also had to win the hearts of Assembly programmers in speed and code size, as the first high level language with an optimizing compiler (there were some failed attempts before FORTRAN).

Agreed. It feels like a cheap lottery ad or something else extremely obnoxious.
Ah, I wrote some TI-85 games in HS.. DopeWars I had to recreate from scratch after I moved, and I implemented some classic arcade games. The interesting thing was that the simpler games were much more popular than the complex games, even if there was no slowdown on the complex game. I think my entire school shared Whack-a-Mole but my pac man and asteroids barely made it out of my calculus class.

But, as I recall, it was TI-BASIC, not C, as the programming language. Was that the AI's mistake?

GDPR is about consent, not cookies, storage or anything.
If you track a user then you need consents. Nothing about GDPR is tied to cookies. They are just one way to generate and keep PII (a tracking ID).

Now if the UTM only identifies the source (user coming from X, FB, ...) and does not identify or reveal the user then you are probably fine. It should even be fine as a cookie, although there have been talks about storing on a users device without consent. Not sure about the current exact legal status, so you might want to set it to never persist the browser close.

It might get a bit more complicated at sign up. You probably would want to disclose that you track and keep this information. But at this point GDPR is active for sure as you have a somehow identifiable user.

Of course you're not. And I already pointed it out to you elsewhere. Your entire writing and marketing revolves around one idea, and one idea only: HTML is "natural hypermedia", and everything else is not.
For clarity, I presume you're talking about L(ibrary)GPLv2.0 published[0] in June of '91, since afaik there was never an LGPLv1.

Anyway, do you think it's good or bad if Unity is stopping people from potentially deploying to e.g. iOS when this would violate the LGPL, even if the responsibility for the violation would not lie with Unity?

> Failing closed is typical of safes

Unless it's a very large safe where people can walk inside, like a bank vault. The fire department gets very grumpy with you if they fail closed and can trap people inside.

So if you want to force open a bank vault, stage a purported terrorist attack, and the FBI will cut power to the building as standard operating procedure. Voila, vault opens.
Five Biological Variants of Alzheimer's Discovered
There are problems either way.

If the fine is proportional to psychological harm, it punishes the victims who admit to having a thick skin.

If the fine is not proportional to psychological harm, it makes bullying the most sensitive people too cheap.

As an analogy, consider physical harm. We would probably agree that the punishment for slapping someone should be smaller than the punishment for murdering someone. However, what happens if someone is so exceptionally fragile that if someone slaps them, they literally die? What punishment should we apply? If you say "the punishment for murder", the accused will feel that this is unfair. But if you say "the punishment for slapping", then it means that if you know that someone is fragile like this, you can practically murder them for free.
The "random" ads you are getting are quite likely already targeted ads.

Now try to watch any nature documentary to calm your nerves after a day in this stressful modern life, and be hit with the mandatory climate change doomsday warnings.

> In 2018 a Russian design based on 2-micron thick nickel-63 slabs sandwiched between 10 micron diamond layers was introduced. It produced a power output of about 1 μW at a power density of 10 μW/cm3. Its energy density was 3.3 kWh/kg. The half-life of nickel-63 is 100 years.

And there's nothing to suggest that much has changed in the last ~5 years. It's essentially a radiation source sandwiched in-between solar panels.

> Beijing-based Betavolt said its nuclear battery is the first in the world to realise the miniaturisation of atomic energy, placing 63 nuclear isotopes into a module smaller than a coin.

My guess is that this is 63 'modules', rather than 63 different isotopes?

> Betavoltaic nuclear batteries can be purchased commercially. Available devices include a 100 μW tritium-powered device weighing 20 grams

This will just about run an RTC, you would struggle to run an entire smart phone, which random sources seem to agree is about 2W minimum.

> The quest to miniaturise and commercialise nuclear batteries was taken up under China’s 14th Five-Year Plan designed to strengthen the country’s economy between 2021 and 2025, while research institutions in the US and Europe are also working on their development.

Here is your motivation for the bluff - companies under pressure to meet arbitrary 5-year plan goals set by the CCP [1].

My major concern would be in what happens to these batteries after use. This is not the kind of thing that should be thrown into landfill.

What even is a normal ad? It's not as if the ad industry is some benign entity casually showing users random banner images or sponsor logos. Ads are now aggressive, privacy invasive entities that follow you around, spying on your every purchase and page view.
If they are getting peanuts anyway, they are free to stop running ads.
It's not that bad. For a long time ads could only be targeted based on correlations rather than personal information. Ads weren't completely random. You would read a travel magazine targeted at men and there would be advertisements in there about flights to some location or recreational activities or male-coded razor blades, whereas a travel magazine targeted at women would have advertisements in it about flights to the same location, different recreational activities and female-coded razor blades. You would take a train to work and there would be advertisements about local restaurants and banks offering home loans in your area. You would exist and you'd get advertisements about an American soft drink.

In the early days of the internet, few enough companies wanted to advertise on the internet - advertisers viewed it already as targeted at a certain segment of society - so advertisements were generally very low value i.e. crap. Tracking technology let advertisers know that they could actually find the people didn't realise were using the internet. But nowadays we all know everyone is on the internet, and we tend to use the same sites regularly, so you could get adequately targeted ads (as a set of eyeballs - not necessarily as an advertiser) just by using the internet.

The problem wasn't Covid, the problem was Disney releasing them straight to Disney+ and not even putting them into the cinema.
Embarcadero is still in business selling Delphi licenses, a new version was released last quarter, and there are enough companies in Europe, to at least have them in two German conferences, alongside Windows and .NET developers.

COBOL and PL/I are still pretty alive for anyone working today on IBM and Unisys mainframes and microcomputers, regardless of bug fixes or new features.
You make it sound like a bad thing. Is the point to preach rationality or to piss people off? Surely they would get more people through the door with different branding.

I wonder why they're thinking about moving to EU as their compatriot seems to be having the same issue and moving to Europe wouldn't fix it. It was mentioned in their public notice.
there is VC money in Europe, especially in Stockholm and Berlin. But it is pittance compared to the VC money in silicon valley

> You need to print the paper that runs trade to have that kind of money to throw around.

I see what you are getting at, but I am not quite sure it is correct. The money that fuels silicon valley VC mostly come from big financial institutions who are backed by investments, mostly pension funds and real state mortgages. Not by petro-dollar fuelled subsidies from government. Although this could have been what triggered the valley to grow so fast in the 70s and what we see today is just a consequence.

I believe that this is also the reason why the VC money in the US is so concentrated in a single location and so dispersed in Europe. Capital flows freely in the US while in Europe capital movement was a lot more constrained historically due to different currencies and fiscal policies. I suspect that this is the same reason why tech in China is all in Shenzen

But I am not familiar enough with the economics of the valley so I could be wrong on my thinking.
Looking at [2], They did not. Only has FWRITE and FREAD, later on in the linked v7 they added FPIPE, not sure how TTY's are handled back then, but I bet it was a device driver of some kind with the real basic BIOS those systems had.

> Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights. Woke has also been used as shorthand for some ideas of the American Left involving identity politics and social justice, such as white privilege and reparations for slavery in the United States.

Yup. We moved FROM subversion to that setup. Subversion was hosted on a beige box from the previous era, it was slow as
frack and a ticking timebomb.

Initially, after a git-svn period we set up bare git+ssh on it as a direct replacement but we quickly realised it was annoying and suboptimal, and that we could just set the same thing up decentralised, adjusting our habits for the better.

It's so refreshing to use, everything is a git fetch --all away (including tags), e.g no more "I forgot to push before going on holidays" or otherwise surprise sick leave, we'd just power up the machine and not even log in, sshd would start, git fetch, and power down via the login manager or ACPI event.

That's actually a good point, yes, forgot about that aspect. I think I didn't mention this because I bought my subscription over VPN in Ukraine and now pay about $2 per month. Unethical, probably. But, you know. if that stops working i'll probably have to find an alternative, as i absolutely hate and despise ads.

> downloading YouTube videos to my NAS with yt-dlp

yeah, same, this interests me as well. curate some sort of JSON file with channels you actually care about, and when new videos come out, download them locally and put them where my media streaming program can use them. then just delete them after they're watched, unless they're really important for some reason. i once started setting this up but got distracted halfway through and forgot about it :D there must be someone who already does this, but i didn't really find anything with a quick duckduckgo.
I guess you'll never know :)
I understand those figures don't include 401k, pensions etc, only stocks and funds hold directly by the households. If you include those, plus real estate, plus accrued Social Security rights, plus Medicare rights, plus inheritance rights etc, the real wealth distribution is a lot more equal.

I don’t think it’s allowed without permission per: https://www.usa.gov/government-copyright

Specifically, “Endorsement, trademarks, and agency logos
You cannot use government materials in a way that implies endorsement by a government agency, official, or employee. For example, using a photo in your advertisement of a government official wearing or using your product is not permitted.
You also cannot use federal government trademarks or federal government agency logos without permission. For example, in general, you cannot use an agency logo or trademark on your social media page to suggest endorsement or sponsorship by the agency.”

NOAA does have a licensing program, but I somehow doubt that this app was part of that program. Assuming that’s true, then this is likely a case of poor enforcement.
I'd give your guess an approximate 95% chance to become true, yes. As I've actually used it in the past and almost started using it as my main way to watch YT.

but the convenience of just opening the YT app on my phone while commuting and just instantly watching what i want is quite nice. at least for now.

That being said I could back to using YouTube Vanced + SponsorBlock on my Android phone, the part which is the hardest to circumvent is my Smart TV. Haven't found a way to sneak past ads there, without paying.
