In the IRS's eyes, you destroyed an item that had value. Its value was whatever someone was willing to pay for it. Say $30M.

If you destroyed it, that was your choice, but you didn't thereby incur a loss of $30M. Any more than if you had dynamited your HQ building.

Not quite. The previous commenter was referring to how the FSF handles contributions—copyright assignment—not a CLA. Your conventional CLA doesn't transfer copyright ownership to the upstream project. It just permits them to do a lot more with the contributor's work (including e.g. arbitrarily relicensing) than other recipients/participants get to do, without actually making the original author give up ownership.
You don't have to be "profound" to make a substantial comment. But as it is, you're being really unpleasant about something that ultimately doesn't matter enough to merit it.

Yes, but there are other studies that make this link. The link is apparently strong enough that some prefer the phrase “type three diabetes” as a way to describe Alzheimers.

“Currently, there is a rapid growth in the literature pointing toward insulin deficiency and insulin resistance as mediators of AD-type neurodegeneration, but this surge of new information is riddled with conflicting and unresolved concepts regarding the potential contributions of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), metabolic syndrome, and obesity to AD pathogenesis.”

Does whatever you propose to replace corporate Agile give upper management fine-grained observability and control of the SDLC? No? Then it won't get adopted, especially not by large organizations. Period. It's not the 80s or 90s anymore, programmers don't get to build little fiefdoms of accountability strictly on their own terms anymore. The C suite knows that those fiefdoms are Dennis Nedry situations just waiting to happen. Software development is accountable to the business. The business has a right to track how much value developers are delivering, and to change things if it's not enough.
> Design-wise it is exactly right: A generic remote buffer management protocol.

That's probably a better description of VNC (aka. RFB, "remote framebuffer"). X11 is far from generic; it has a bunch of baked-in concepts for things like windows, named colors, bitmap fonts, selections, a screensaver, and an entire drawing subsystem that's only used by a few legacy apps nowadays. A glance through the protocol, with a particular eye to the "Requests" section, may be enlightening:

https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/xproto/x11protocol.ht...

For comparison, here's VNC. There's some extensions for more efficient ways to send bitmaps over the wire, but the essential concepts of the protocol are unchanged.

Carl Sagan’s novel Contact is ultimately about a surprising fictional mathematical result, although this is only revealed IIRC toward the end.

The movie adaptation with Jody Foster changes the plot and leaves out much that the 90s movie studios thought general audiences wouldn’t be interested in.

Without giving away too much, the fictional result is a really clever thought experiment by Sagan about the nature of god, if he exists. (Although Sagan wasn’t the first to think of it, he was the first to put it in such an accessible way.)

It’s a fantastic novel, which for some reason isn’t much read these days.
I think the assumption would be more that FAANG would throw wads of cash at non-FAANG candidates than the reverse. There's a few "common knowledge" things (assumptions, but often accurate) about recruiting from FAANG that would certainly explain the lack of "wads of cash":

* Golden handcuffs are real and deliberate and in many ways rational: very few other companies have similar-sized wads of cash to throw OR similarly-scaled problems where FAANG-level salaries are likely to produce significant ROI

* FAANG stacks tend to have a lot of amazing in-house niceties that can't be found elsewhere, so there's a certain "are they an expert or are they just an expert at using Google's internal stack"? Would they be productive out of the gate or would they need to rebuild all that stuff first?

Everybody wants the prestige of telling their CEO or their investors that they poached people from FAANG but few have the wallet or the precise scenarios to get into a bidding war about it.

I had these issues as a HM in 2020 trying to hire ML engineers. (At mid-size places there's also often a "WTF do we do with a ML engineer" problem where if you aren't a data scientist or a general SW engineer, it's hard to carve out a role in between. Especially if the org has data scientists who aren't particular "engineer savvy" in terms of workflow and tooling. And then the ML engineer makes things shiny and version-controlled and all... and the data team mostly just ignores it since moving over to that stuff isn't one of their KPIs...)

How does a software engineer transition into bioinformatics or computational biology?

Right, and the studio is deducting all the resources it spent making the movie. If you decide to invest in a bunch of money into developing a product, and then not commercialize it, all the r&d money that went into it is still deductible. It gets tricky when amortization and accruals are involved, but in the end it's approximately the same principle.
But usually a movie is worked on by multiple VFX companies and whatnot.
Good points. Normally, your discarded drafts are just written off as the cost of creating the keeper. It's not worth anyone's time to put them all out for bid.

> My only concern is that Authelia hasn't had a new release for more than a year, which raises security concerns.

I'm a bit concerned about that too. When setting it up, I found a lot of their docs on github mentioned they have `template` and `expand-env` "configuration filters", then it took me entirely too long to realize that while the 4.38 pre-release notes, posted in January 2023, say it's "just around the corner", it's still being worked on.

Having said that, there still seems to be somewhat active development. It may just be one person at this point.

Alternatives for _consuming_ REST services is perhaps an equally interesting proposition, particularly since there are potentially many consumers per service e.g., the manifold JSON project[1].

Other areas where Springboot feels overbearing include JPA/ORM support. In my view this is its greatest weakness, but like the "no one ever got fired for buying IBM" cliche, the same can be said today about Springboot.

USA has 33.2 million companies, most of those aren't giant conglomerates, so the system do support people to work outside of companies, it isn't as hard to do as some people think.

The main reason people don't go and work for themselves is that companies pay so much that usually it isn't worth it. They would make money on their own but they make more working for a company, that isn't really a bad thing though.
`git bisect` is one of those things I wish I'd internalized sooner in my career. It can be so incredibly powerful, especially when you just hand it a shell script (`git bisect run`) and let it rip without having to guide it by hand.

Your point, whether you realize it or not, is that Hollywood is heavily unionized. The contracts that all the talent sign specify who owns the final product, and what will happen to it if it's a bust.

So that's the real answer. The unions have to make this an issue. Or maybe they already have.

Alzheimer's is a prion disease. Prions are proteins that cause other proteins to misfold. What's interesting is that most prion diseases are transmitted through ingestion or physical contact - possibly there's a correlation with population density and/or sanitation. It's also possible that there are low occurrences in ancient populations because most people died of other things. For example, 200 years ago bacteria diseases were the most common cause of death. Now that we have conquered most infection disease the primary cause of death now is cancer and cardiovascular issues.

These are explicitly not a design issue, but a manufacturing process issue.

And I'm not sure if you want current Boeing to do a clean-sheet 737 replacement with their current engineering culture. The reason it isn't more unsafe is that a lot of it was designed so long ago (some parts even as far back as the 707).

Then again, the Dreamliner seems to be doing okay-ish now.
My only moments of joy derived from rspec is through rswag. But it pretty much (ab)uses rspec to give you design-by-contract for JSON api.

Where's the line between "dynamited your HQ building" and "investing money into FTX"? Both are intentional activities that leads to total loss of value, but I think most people would agree that the latter is tax deductible.

It's not "odd." Anything you build can have a "salvage value." Someone would take it off your hands, be it a building, a car, or a movie.

That makes sense, Noetic is rock solid compared to any ROS 2 release so far imo. I hope that this year's LTS will be more reliable (again with the whole promise of Zenoh rmw) but I remain sceptical since all the major fixes always get backported and Humble is not exactly a beacon of stability.

> mainly distributed systems (multi-robot environments) and good tech developed elsewhere that the system could benefit from

Yeah that was the theory anyway, I'm not sure how much of that had really worked out as intended. Automatic discovery without a roscore has proven... unfeasible. Especially over wifi since the required amount of multicasts basically runs a continuous ddos attack and now we're moving back to the same old concept with FastDDS Discovery Server, Zenohd, and the ros2 daemon. Sure the DDS technically has encryption now, but I've yet to hear of anybody using it. Overall it's just a mess.

When you're doing that evaluation, take a good look at python nodes and their performance compared to Noetic. Currently it's bad, like horrendously bad, 30x less efficient in some cases that I've tested. And they've also ported the CLI parts from bash to python so tab autocomplete and parameter fetching take like actual seconds. I just don't know...

Maybe there's lots of systems out there already running on Cyclone or FastRTPS that make it all worthwhile, but I haven't really heard of any such cases.

> the combo of ROS 2 + major Ubuntu upgrade every 2 years is maybe too much for my own peace of mind

Yeah 2 years seems a long time, but it never turns out that way. It really pains me to see useful packages made obsolete and unusable again and again for no reason but moving to the next release which usually brings effectively nothing by itself.

I did woodworking long before programming of any kind. There are some subtle but critical differences...

Mess up bad in programming, you may loose your job.

Mess up bad on the {table,band,radial arm}saw or jointer,planer,lathe and you may loose a {finger,limb,LIFE}

Cleaning up in woodworking is pretty much required, where as in software, some one typically has to yell at you to do it. If you do not clean the table saw, or dust collector, it will stop functioning. This happens a lot sooner in woodworking than the "technical debt" of software.

Personally, I prefer woodworking to software, but I think a lot of people romanticize woodworking or trade types of hobbies after doing software for a while. The truth is that it will take you a long time to be able to bang out one of those picture perfect awesome furniture items... and that piano level, three feet deep finish you see other people do... Yeah, tell me how easy that was to get. It is just like software in that respect. Good clean code takes time. Good looking woodworking takes a lot of experience.
Nice visual style!
Dynamic text color contrast based on background lightness with CSS/SVG filters
The things I like about woodworking:

* It's tangible. I can put in a couple of hours of work and then step back and see exactly what's been accomplished.

* The techniques are hundreds/thousands of years old. New tools come along (not as quickly as they do in software), but at the end of the day, we've pretty much decided on a handful of best ways to do things. There's always new stuff to learn, but you're very rarely inventing something from whole cloth.

* And my personal favorite: Every project has a definite end. That jewelry box or coffee table is FINISHED. Sure, after a time I might put a new coat of finish on something, but once a piece leaves my shop it's done. I'm not forever tweaking this or that about it, trying to make it something it was never meant to be or tearing pieces of it apart to redo the joinery or whatever.

WBD is a public company, can the shareholders sue or otherwise punish the board/CEO? I'm not sure where those boundaries are, just top of mind because of the recent Musk action.

It's nice to have your labor in high enough demand that you can pick and choose which types of companies to work for. Most developers worldwide don't have that luxury.
