It was originally an internal tool, so I would guess either A) he doesn't have permission from all the contributors or B) he used reused code from elsewhere within Microsoft that wasn't open source compatible.
You're missing the point. `--force` is the default of the force variants. The other `--force-but-something` arguments clearly modify that default. It's the wrong way round.

Obviously they've done it for backwards compatibility, but the fact that they haven't even added an option to make it the default is pretty lame.
> There is nothing to support this widely held idea. This is the very bias I was talking about.

You mean you don't think that there is a difference between commercial pilots and truck etc. drivers when it comes to drug and alcohol use?

> lol. No. Not at all.

That does sound very convincing.
Sounds like a correction from going all-in on microservices back to a more normal/natural, on-demand scalable architecture. Honestly a lot of architectures are selected based on hype instead of if it's the right solution. And a big reason for that is hiring and artificially creating excitement for developers, because let's face it, most software development is boring.
Various Freescale boards (ppc). That was like 15 years ago at this point so maybe totally stale information
Right, but did anyones attempts to contact emergency services get affected in this case?

I'm guessing not.

No matter how you paint it, this was probably rather excessive on the part of the police.
They already did, the news of Google doing the same on hn last week iirc.
I know that relative to the size of the whole market, the number of consumers interested enough in repairing their stuff to consider it when purchasing is small, but does anyone know of any places that actually include both ease of repair and availability of parts in their review system?

iFixit it does it for a small subset of electronics, but I'd love to be able to find the equivalent for things like power tools, kitchen tools, appliances, etc.

Does Consumer Reports check this? I know they do reliability, but do they include repair? I think I'd be willing to pay if there was a reputable place I could check. Especially if it was possible to see if there are particular brands that are generally good about this (which might help decide in the case that a specific product isn't yet assessed).
It does seem that this current AI summer is very hot. This does start to seem like a nee tech revolution.
Apart from Amara’s law, we’re also very bad at visualizing exponential growth.

Key ideas from the very early ages of computers and a few new tweaks only recently found the compute power to become useful.
Yes it has probably happened to me 3-4 times in the past few months
I don't get your point. Nobody is saying don't use `--force`. Just that the default `--force` flag is the most dangerous variant.
The nice part is that we're no longer at the beginning of this journey. BigTable and Zanzibar already have open source equivalents: HBase/Cassandra-likes (hard to pin BigTable to just one thing) and SpiceDB. As these projects mature, they only become easier for folks to adopt into their architectures and get all the same benefits.
I have been hoping for more informed commentary concerning the scuttlebutt that Apple and Sony had a falling out over the a purported refusal to ramp up micro-OLED production, leading Apple to source future production in the PRC. Supposedly only around 900k OLED units were supplied by Sony (so, 450k AVP units), constraining potential sales for the near future. The general assumption in the press seems to be that sales are largely demand determined, but I suspect the cutting-edge technology used may still be in short supply, hence the high price validated for the relatively few units available.
I'd say that would ultimately be a risk Valve takes from writing "Steam Deck verified" on the store page, and one they can pay from their 25-30% cut.
Ah yes, someone in yet another industry discovers capitalism, especially the joy of infinite growth capitalism! Nothing to see here

Those differences need to be prices in via Coal taxes or the market doesn’t care.

However, the market does care if something has proven to be a risky bet. Meltdowns involve actual money on the line.
That's probably the funniest klyukva I've ever heard.
Let's just say NorCal, well outside the Bay Area. Agreed, somehow emergency service is fast, but non-emergency has quite a waiting list. Same for other types of trade service like HVAC repair, and even house painting. Another thing that can't be understated is how hard it is to just get these guys to call you back. Nobody answers the phone, and when you leave a message I'd say maybe 25-50% even call you back. Here I am with a fistful of money and nobody wants to take it.

It also took me 8 months to schedule a first-time doctor's visit, so maybe it's just the new normal for everything--not just the trades.
It's for a different level of user. I like the approach a lot.
100%… not using it to advocate for anything in particular. Just find the phenomenon interesting… you can apply this retroactively to several innovations.
You can't really prevent "I stole your phone just to cause chaos". What Apple did with Find My was to remove the financial incentive to steal phones. What Apple does with this is protecting your iCloud account from someone who knows your passcode. (I would imagine that most people in relationships know their partner's passcode. Sometimes relationships sour.)

What prevents "I stole your phone just to cause chaos" is the risk/reward profile. Even though your phone is useless to someone that stole it, it's still theft, and you'll still have to face consequences if caught. If the incentive is "I'll be able to buy $1200 worth of shit", then people are probably going to take their chances with getting caught. If it's "I'll get nothing except the satisfaction of smashing someone else's electronics", then most people won't take their chances.

With the whole "knowing your passcode doesn't help" situation, it makes the long tail crimes even more difficult. "Tell me your passcode or I'll shoot you" no longer works, for example. It makes the crime significantly more difficult to commit, and requires committing crimes that carry significantly longer sentences. (Armed robbery turns into kidnapping. You could be looking at the rest of your life in prison for $300 in someone's checking account. Not worth it to most people.)

At the end of the day, there is only so much you can do. The rest is your insurance company's problem. The fewer viable attacks there are against you, and the less often they happen, the less your premiums are. (I actually don't know if there is insurance for this. I should check.)
As a pun enthusiast I'd like to express my appreciation for this. :D
> if we define music (as i do) as storytelling and musicians as storytellers

Music is much more complex than telling a story. Are you a musician yourself? It's even a major issue that today NLP concepts (embeddings, etc.) are applied to music. The problems are fundamentally different.
I don't mean to question your experience, but the inside/outside thing can very easily be a property of the headphones, not the mix. Certainly mixing it to emphasize that is a choice, but a good stereo mix is really not so fundamentally limited in its soundstage.

It may be the producer's deliberate choice to have the voice here, the guitar there, etc, and automatic "spatializers" may moot that choice. But of course so may playing it via a single-channel Bluetooth speaker. It's up to the listener to provide the experience they like best, but I question the need to have Apple pushing this particular type of mix so hard.
I have a bank account through cashapp for this very reason, easy to get an account and easy to burn it.

> 30 years ago - yes. I'd say it would be evenly matched. They would know things related to protocols and tech that we've lost, while we would have more sophisticated tools.

I am amused by the idea that "they" would know things that "we've" lost, over a span as short as 30 years, considering a fair number of "them" are actually just "us", older now but fully active in our careers!
> If AI makes it easy to generate assets, why won’t the AAA studios feel the pain first?

Because, as you said in your first paragraph, the AAA studios' USP is that their games look better. They have skilled artists, and for the moment generative assets aren't going to be able to match that - and they don't have to, for most purposes. Indie games using procedural generation is already a tradition, it's just going to kick up a notch, and then the low end of AA will start using it, and so on; I'm not saying this stuff won't eventually make it into the AAA games, but it's going to get there from the bottom up, and the low/middle-end - those studios that just barely kept a few artists on the payroll at the moment - will be the first jobs hit.

> None of this puts food on the table now of course, but the future could be better.

It'll be better for creative and original people. But those who were just getting by churning out good enough are in for a rough time.
> Synchronize A & B in one location. Move A & B apart in a careful manner.

Doesn’t matter how careful you are, SR tells us moving clock will become unsynched. The amount of “unsynching” depends on c (see Lorentz factor) so if c is different in forward vs reverse direction, bringing the clocks back will even it out

Hi, as another odd duck here, I'd like to chime in: no, not really, I don't understand why people value these things. If I was interested in seeing them, I'd move near them so I could see them often. I'm really not interested in seeing things for a couple of hours. If I value it, I want it frequently.
From the abstract:

"""
We estimate the supply-side value of widely-used OSS is $4.15 billion, but that the demand-side value is much larger at $8.8 trillion. We find that firms would need to spend 3.5 times more on software than they currently do if OSS did not exist. The top six programming languages in our sample comprise 84% of the demand-side value of OSS. Further, 96% of the demand-side value is created by only 5% of OSS developers.
"""

I don't think your comment addresses my main point though.

Even if we outlawed MBAs, we'd still have a business environment in which companies that maximize their profitability potentially outcompete more customer-centric companies.

A profit-maximizing strategy potentially gives them more money, which in turn lets them lower their prices, ramp up faster in newer markets, etc.

I don't think it matters much whether or not people have MBAs. Market dynamics will exist regardless of whether we teach people about them.

I think your real complaint lies elsewhere in the system.

I'd like a "mixed for people who can hear both loud and quiet sounds" version, please. My go-to example for terrible mastering is Dropkick Murphys' "The Meanest of Times" album. "The State of Massachusetts" starts with some mandolin (I think?) picking, then launches into drums and distorted guitars at exactly the same volume. I loaded the song in a sample editor and its waveform at 100% loudness the whole time. The album's songs are great, but I can't bear to listen to it.
Definitely doesn't work on everything. I had to remove a bundle from my account that had broken depots where the executable was literally missing. It was country and sale (winter 2011) specific, so I'd imagine not a lot of people complained.

> research [] conducted in the Philippines and Ecuador

These are tropical countries where coconuts are an evolutionary-appropriate part of the food supply. Coconut oil is mostly saturated, and is stable at human temperature. Western countries switched to polyunsaturated "vegetable oil" as a dietary staple.

Sometime in the 1940's the paint industry figured out how to make their paints and stains from petroleum distillates. Originally the paint industry used linseed oil and soybean oil for most of their products. The unsaturated components of polyunsaturated seed oils combine spontaneously with the oxygen in the air to form a hard film [0].

The paint industry essentially said, "farmers, thanks for your products all these years, best of luck in your future endeavors." The seed oil conglomerates [1] (ADM, et al) were screwed. Then they realized they could just rebrand their products as "vegetable oil". Ancel Keys was hired to convince people of the hazard of saturated fats...

Omega-6 degrades to prosteglandins [2], which are molecules of stress and inflammation [3]. Omega-3's are more unstable than Omega-6 oils. IMHO, the ω-3 / ω-6 ratio doesn't really matter - the most important thing to get inflammation under control is to limit "vegetable oil" intake.

Olive Oil's okay, if it's genuine. Unfiltered olive oil is even better. But wikipedia says the American Heart Association still recommends getting your daily dose of inflammation precursors [4]. Not impressed.

Unnecessarily rude and combative reply. The GP is clearly talking about the hypothetical scenario where you consent to her leaving it at a pharmacy - which certainly makes a lot more sense than just leaving it in a car. You said she offered to leave it at a pharmacy. Then didn't. So it doesn't seem likely she was going to do anything without thinking she was allowed to.
Companies make and spend so much money that this doesn't matter. Thousands, 10s of thousands, 100s is pointless in comparison the potential of building features. A developer costs about half million a year, (salary, bonus, rsu, taxes, benefits)

If they are paying you to saves 10s to maybe hundreds the company is losing money on you so they won't do this.

If your at a public company, look at your company's quarterly reports and see what it would take to many any kind of impact on net income.
The Git sync feature allows one to import an existing git repo (currently GitHub is supported) into a new Diversion repo, and keep both in sync: every commit into Git is imported into Diversion and vice versa.

This allows a member of a team that works with Git to try Diversion, to keep backups, and to use GitHub Actions or other CI tools that work with git.
The games industry has been due a correction for years. Too many people want to make games, relative to how many games the world actually wants or needs. Wages and working conditions are always going to be terrible.
Why do we act like people all have an approximately uniform intelligence that will be surpassed by AI intelligence by orders of magnitude in all dimensions? In my experience, different people are smart about different things, sometimes yes by orders of magnitude. Couldn't an AI being smarter than some people be no more surprising than some people being smarter than some other people?
I also find it really annoying as it keeps wanting to push me into a mode where it is doing "head tracking" with "spatial audio" based on the location of my phone, as if the location of my phone has any meaning at all to me when I am listening to music (or even "watching" video as I am likely trying to do some activity at the same time or why the hell am I using my phone?!).
As someone who is making one (not Diversion), I agree with both of your points.

A bit of an aside, but I love that their data set consists of 26% Linux users and 41% Firefox users.
The network architecture is a valid concern but IPv6 is a thing and AFAIK it solves a lot of the problems. With the scarcity of IPv4 addresses, and the ubiquity of the connected devices the push appears to be finally here as hosting providers are ramping up the costs for IPv4.

Besides, even if the client-server architecture is to remain, I expect to see significant simplifications on the algorithm deployments. By that, I mean server apps becoming easy to run and manage as WhatsApp on iPhone.

No more complexities related on running python and all its libraries on Linux on some datacenter. Instead, it should be possible to have an app that just runs and takes care of some high level code that is possibly generated by AI.

For example, maybe in near future we will be able to tell some LLM to create an app that does something useful for us(i.e. track orders on Shopyfy and send personalised questionnaire about the delivery) and deploy it to anywhere(own server at home, Amazon, DO etc.) and never think about the complexities of deployment and only deal with the value added part of the process.
idk. at least in my cycle no one uses Threads or cares about it, including the people I referred to which hope for a Twitter 2.0 somewhere

it doesn't help that Threads through their action already kinda made it clear that their compatibility with mastodon and co. falls in the "embrace extend extinguish" category

and just by the fact that Threads is from Meta it can't be Twitter 2.0, to many people refuse to use meta products of any kind as much as possible as they fundamentally do not trust Meta at all
There's a discord for worldbuilding software that's like this, though, due to the main dev's health issues and the original architecture being relatively weak, such changes have been very delayed, buy it is picking up again now

If social programs don't provide luxuries, but just essentials, people are still going to want luxuries, and there can be markets around those. I'm not convinced that communism or even complete socialism are better than what I've described, which I think is somewhere between demsoc and socdem, but not entirely those things either.

We haven't really seen socialism/communism without a high degree of authoritarianism, which I also don't really like, so I'm inclined to support working towards socialism democratically rather than trying to overthrow the government in a bloody revolution.

I do think we need a radical rethinking of the role of state in this in order to make it work though; ideally the state and worker collectives benefit from advantages that make it difficult for the capitalists to steamroll over them on the market, which over time leads to the weakening of capital. An example would be high property taxes for people/businesses owning a house that isn't their primary residence, which would go to fund social housing.
I agree, my point is that predisposition.

Though I can’t help but adding… You can have a non material world without having an afterlife (telekinesis or spells working) and you can have an afterlife in a material world (via active intervention and time travel).

So rather than materialism being foundational it can be thought of as a category that arises from more foundational beliefs.
