This is pretty simple.

Either we maintain that it is illegal to learn from copyrighted images without a license — which is going to destroy human culture very fast I believe,

Or we accept that anybody can study a copyrighted work and learn from it, including using a machine as their agent.

If a 12 year old kid prints out an image made by Hirst and hangs it in their bedroom that is fair use. If a corporation uses the image on a t shirt they need a license.

Now the same thing, but “in the style of Hirst”

The copyright infringement is generally at the point where somebody is depriving the artist of income and what I’m hearing here is HOME TAPING IS KILLING MUSIC.

No, friends, refusal to enforce monopolies laws is killing music. Home taping is how music survived.
It's sort of the same thing with "all regulations are written in blood", right? For example, many of the current set of laws, regulations and best practices that prevent people on planes from dying were only enacted after people in the past died from scenarios that were either unknown unknowns or had never been observed in practice before. And that I think applies to many types of regulations besides just aviation.

I was taught by my advanced riding instructor that riding/driving safely was about making sure that everyone inside and outside the vehicle was safe, not just the vehicle occupants. Protection and safety are different concepts in this regard. Everyone has a right to be safe, so "don't ride like a twat" in this case.

While this is a joke, it somewhat resonates with my experience of working on a huge C++ project (search engine, tens of millions of lines).

Over the years I had been debugging multiple memory problems and only once I had found a true memory leak. It wasn't the bug I was looking for, accounting for only 8 bytes per hour and it was the easiest of all: directly discovered by valgrind.

All others were memory bloat cases: memory reachable but not used. Like forgetting some small per-request descriptor in some auxiliary hashmap in one of the code pathways. Reproducing and debugging was pain because it required running a loaded backend for days under a profiler, before the bloated part becomes visible.

Funny thing is that while C++ is notorious for memory leaks this particular kind of problem is possible in any language that allows a global mutable state (so all the practical ones). From experience it seems that true leaks are unlikely in a reasonably-good C++ code. Just never mix business logic with memory management and you're good to go.

> I think it comes down to practicality more than either culture's love of tea or coffee.

Yeah, come to think of it a coffee machine is solving a very similar problem to an electric kettle. Whats more, I’ve even used a drip coffee maker as a makeshift electric kettle before. So that was just a dumb argument on my part. Thanks for bailing me out with actual data on the diminishing returns of dumping more power into an electric kettle!

Good tool, but my history is so noisy I had to find another way.
Lately I started to add a new habit in my shell actions.

When a command has some cognitive requirements I create a script with some ${1:-default} values and I store them all in $PATH enabled local/bin

All my scripts start with __ and then some capital letters indicating the topic.

I can copy them to new machines, which is something I would not do with my history.
Yes but an EV car is treated as a 2% benefit in kind.
E.g. (simplifying) your employer can buy you a 40k Tesla and you get taxed as if they gave you 2% of that as salary. In the 40% braket that is £800 benefit in kind so you pay 320 extra tax.

Edit:

I think it is better explained here:

Using Spotify's API data in another service breaks Spotify's terms of use. The terms are there for you to read. I've no idea if they are actually enforceable.

But if you aren't going to apply things in context they won't make sense.
Is it? And even if it was, is it worth the expense to track them and annoy the "false positives"?
It's absolutely true - the lack of respect for human lives. Remember all those incidences where a film star or a rich kid or politican drinks and drives over a family of poor people sleeping on the streets and you hear nothing about it after it has happened?

One of my relative killed 2 girls drunk and driving in a village and got away with it. Every time I think of that, it traumatises me :'(

No, something being under github.com/google means the person who started it was paid by Google, not paid by Google to code this. Google contracts (like most tech contracts in the US) have ridiculously broad IP assignment clauses, so unless you go through a lengthy process to request Google disown something, they own anything you code, and they insist you open source your things under github.com/google.

You decide your own definitions, but that's very different from "Gmail by Google" or even "Go by Google" in my book. Note how the main author has "Ex-Google" in their bio, too.
Thank you for your comment. I love learning this kind of thing. When did you decide to replace supplies like that? For example, was it when you saw visible wear and tear or was it after a certain number of uses?
Yeah, this is nice but also sad. GNU coreutils is ancient at this point. I know this is probably critical to get user share for nushell and not enough dev resources etc. but I’d wish they were innovating on this front too with simpler and less bloated coreutils, as they are already completely changing the shell paradigm.

That comment may apply to the general topic often, but this article clearly mentions "just pay them more" as a solution. It's really quite a balanced read.
I have two of those lying around, but care should taken with some of the smaller HPs at least. I have 800 G4 DesktopMini. It has two SO-DIMMs, two full-length NVME slots and a 2.5" SATA bay. It supports thunderbolt (which was rare at the time - it's an intel 8th gen era model). It looked absolutely great on paper. Had them at work, worked perfectly with Linux. Bought one for my house, where I don't have the 24/7 hum of AC and random people talking all day. I quickly began to hate it, since the fan spins all the time and they figured there was no reason to attach it securely, so it rattles around in the case. Newer models (G6 at least) seem to have improved the design so that the fan is actually secured, but I've never tested one in a quiet environment.

> Untested, but the idle power draw on it is supposed to be 10-15watts.

I haven't tested the "mini" one I have, but I also salvaged an older "SFF" HP from work, an 800 G2, with an i5-6500. I've replaced its spinning drive with 2 SATA SSDs (Samsung 840 EVO 512 GB), increased RAM to 2*8+16 GB and thrown in a 4-port intel i350 network adaptor. According to some watt-meter off Amazon it pulls around 16W while idling under Linux running three VMs on top of KVM (OpnSense (= FreeBSD), and two Linux). The highest I could get it was around 50 W while booting up.

The watt meter seems accurate enough. I tested it with a laptop for which I have two adaptors, one specified as 45W, the other 65. With the battery drained, screen backlight at max and a compilation taking 100% CPU, it was reported as drawing 46W and 55 respectively on the two adaptors.

> My only complaint about the unit is that I wish these were powered by USBC PD

Which unit is that? I would actually love that, especially if the USB-C port can also be used as a regular "docking" port, handling DP out and USB in. I could connect my monitor and peripherals with a single cable to it and call it a day, instead of having to deal with random power adaptors lying around. Bonus points if it's actually Thunderbolt.

> More common is to be powered by a 19V barrel jack, which would make replacements more of a pain if the external power supply dies.

I don't think so, those look like pretty much standard fare to me. Although I've heard stories about Dell doing shady stuff with the adaptors, trying to talk to them and stuff, AFAIK HP doesn't do that.
There used to be some truth to that but not so much anymore. It's historically correct that the poor used to have more kids (and I think are still a bit more likely to have them than the middle class). But what started to happen about 10-15 years ago was that everyone became less likely to start a family except for rich people. To be precise if a woman is rich enough to afford childcare she's much more likely to have kids.

Here's an article on the topic: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/oct/25/women-w... - that's about a decade old and the evidence/trend has only grown.

Children are just another one of those things that is increasingly out of reach for the American middle class, along with property ownership, health care etc. For the poster I responded to to ignore the economic data and paint the middle class and ordinary human beings as being selfish and immoral is perverse.

Creating free, viral 'mini-apps' to promote your main product is a genius idea. It's like hitting two birds with one stone — marketing your main product and testing new features without messing it all up.

Yes, same in the UK, I grew up without seat belts and then in the 1980s, they became a thing - "clunk-click, every trip" - and then only much later, compulsory for rear passengers.

It's step-by-step, building on top of the previous thing, slowly inculating into the population the respect for life and how it's the responsibility of every person, company and government. You belt up, cars add airbags, the government improves roads and traffic management. If all of those things are in place, things get better. In India, it's very much "god will protect me".

My own attitude changes so bizarrely when I'm in India. In Europe it's belt up, put your helmet on, and in India, let's all get into this Autorickshaw and hurtle through traffic. I must be mad.
Ah, ok... So I suppose since many starve to death for lack of water and food we should do the same. And of course, only workers, executives MUST work as they want.

Except the little detail that JIT/AOT toolchains still aren't as widespread as they should be, with several languages offering only one variant, and there as still quite a few Lisp tricks either left behind in modern IDEs, or with various kinds of support depending on the language, like accessing everything across language and runtime, hot code reloading, time travel debugging.

Ah, and most relevant, many folks still believe that writing OSes in what was once a macro Assember for PDP-11 is the only way.

It's refusing to accept that there is a moral basis for initiating force or harm against another.

Now this world really does operate by force, and spends a lot of resources to accommodate its citizens to its force - education, culture, finance, law are all part of the toolbox. It will justify itself, call itself 'good', 'better than other options'.. it will even use its superior forces to undermine any other attempts of living. Anyone who initiates violence against someone is in the wrong - it does not miraculously become 'right' when the government does it, just cos it has written some rules on bits of paper.

So it depends on how you stack things. Is doing things right most important thing? Or is one in thrall to whoever currently holds the levers of power to exercise its force as they see fit? And, a personal question, if it is the latter - do you call this is if force 'good', is government good? Do you accept this authority?

>wealthier people opt to have fewer or no kids, and larger families are usually those of lower income, like there's an inverse relationship between wealth and desired number of children.

I've also noticed this trend, richer societies have less children and poorer societies have more children.

Absolutely no politician (aka the people charged with population and demographic concerns) actually points this out, though. Probably because it goes against a lot of narratives and the simple solution it implies is brutally unpalatable for pretty much everyone.

I also notice that every single would-be or could-be parent inquired says they can't afford it, while also clearly enjoying many luxuries that being poor would actively prohibit. I presume they all keep claiming the issue is money because who doesn't like free handouts from the government just by saying you'll have kids? Get 'em while the getting's good. I'm not talking about just the US, either.

Anyway, I believe the only true solution to declining birth rates is simply to become poor again as a society. It's the only logical solution when becoming richer clearly leads to less children.

The tool is opensource - looks like it’s published under an MIT license.

If Linux support matters to you, maybe you can get involved or fork the project. It supports a remote debugging protocol - so as a first pass you might be able to add Linux support without needing to port the UI.

I agree with you - I wish more tools like this supported Linux. But I also really respect the original author’s effort here. Making a project like this is a lot of work already. They’re under no obligation to support Linux if they don’t use Linux themselves. Letting the community step in to add Linux support is, in my opinion, opensource done right.

To get 2, there are (at least) a couple of ways it can happen, we can do i=0,i++ and get LHS=0, now i=1,++i and get RHS=2. Or we can do i=0,++i and get RHS=1, then i=1,i++ and get LHS=1.

However we’re also allowed to do something like this: i=0, a=i, b=i, b=b+1, RHS=b (RHS=1), LHS=a (LHS=0), a=a+1, i=a, i=b.

Probably quite a lot of other things are allowed to happen. Usual disclaimer that a standard-compliant compiler is allowed to vaporise your cat etc as part of UB.

I don't know what political speech means to you.

Are you aware that Ukraine engaged in an existential war? Gonzalo Lira was justifying Russian aggression against Ukraine, denying the facts of Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian cities, as well as massacres of civilian Ukrainians by Russian invaders in Bucha and other cities.

Then he was taken into custody because he violated the terms of his bail and tried to escape. Originally meant to be under house arrest in Kharkiv, Lira was detained in another part of Ukraine: Zakarpattia Oblast, where he tried to cross the border into Hungary

There are a number of real journalists in Ukraine investigating big corruption cases, some of which have even resulted in the replacement of the Minister of Defense. These journalists have not faced assassination or imprisonment, although there have been instances of them being pressured in some ways
> So everybody needs to be miserable as if you are not miserable the rest of miserable people will look at you and say: That's not fair!! I am miserable so you must be miserable too!

This argument gets used a lot in politics, whenever a situation is to be improved people claim "but we suffered, that's not fair!!!".

Personally, I know this from fellow second-generation migrants here in Germany that are opposed to how "easy" refugees have it - their claim is that they had to fight German bureaucracy for years until they were allowed to work and whatnot. Which is valid, yes, but they seem to be unaware that times have changed.

Currently this is a solo developer project, and I will do my best to get it in a useable state as soon as I can.

There is a discord channel for the app, where posting bug reports and features requests will help me out a ton with figuring out what to prioritize to get the app in a stable state!
I’m sure you know that the Swedish company Volvo released its patents on three point seatbelts so that all auto companies could use them. Pretty amazing.

It was actually around World War I that these kind of safety issues became well known to the public. The Triangle Shirtwaist fire, the books of Upton Sinclair, and the muckrakers started to bring awareness to a lot of formerly ignored problems like this.

Sure, but I'm positing that pay here is the entire issue (hence forest for the trees) comment. People tend to associate WFH with a cushy job.

You can find a hundred side effects of that - people who want to work in their underpants, not get ready for work, not shower, have a flexible schedule, etc., as individual 'inequalities.' If fixing the pay makes other complaints disappear, were they ever a primary factor?

FWIW, I do think the pendulum will shift in our lifetime. The 'You Call the Handyman' South Park really hit home for us, and I can totally see that now and even more in 20 or so years. Can you imagine needing something fixed in your house and trying to barter your skills? I sure can't!
> There’s a reason for the “I can’t function before the morning coffee” expression.

Yeah, a lot of people tend to be later-risers. The realities of the 9-5 job mean that they have to get up at 6-7 to get the kids ready for school, then get themselves ready for work, and then the commute to work... despite that going completely against their chronotype.

WFH alleviates a lot of that stress.
Did anyone in this thread imply otherwise?
True! For people with children there is also an effective tax due in the 50k to 60k band because the child benefit gets paid back, and the for the people with young children close to the 100k taxable income the loss of the 30 hour free childcare and the tax free childcare can cause (in expensive places like London) a drop of disposable income of up to about 8k when you declare the pound that moves you from 99,999.00 to 100k.

Under those conditions tax free benefits like working from home (convenience and not having to pay expensive train tickets) can be a nice topping to a modest salary increase when moving jobs.
