"infringement" in this case means traditional copyright infringement, not DMCA circumvention infringement. Legitimate users of Switch games will have a strong fair use case for this.
Typically you mock them in unit tests.
DeCSS was ruled to be a circumvention device. Yuzu will be treated the same.

People using such software without the intent of engaging in RE activities will not be granted the benefit these exceptions. You could legally create your own Switch emulator but distributing it to others outside the legal veil of a corporate entity will not fly.

My understanding is that The "Nintendo hired the iNES Developer" story is actually it's own myth!

The person referenced who Nintendo hired is Kawase Tomohiro.

The basis for calling him "The iNES Developer" is that, in a changelog for 0.7 of iNES, Marat Fayzullin - the developer of iNES - wrote: "Sound support completely rewritten, thanks to Kawase Tomohiro"

That is the entirety of the association. That single line in a changelog. Based on similar "thanks" lines it was probably because they reported some emulation issues and not because they personally rewrote the sound support for the emulator, but resulted in Marat doing so. It's actually interesting how these stories seem to change over time. The last time I heard this, the story was that Nintendo had hired somebody who contributed to iNES, which was at least technically true if a bit misleading, but it seems that now the story is that they hired *the* iNES Developer. Which seems particularly silly when we consider the basis is that 8 word changelog line.
I don't know, I think standards are just higher as an adult. When I was a teenager, I thought I learned things quickly, but in reality I was still a novice. Now that I'm older I don't feel like I pick things up more slowly, but I definitely am more aware of how much work it takes to be good at pretty much anything.

No one watch EU auditions. At most I'll read a short resume. It also is way more impersonal than French senate's audition with clear rules to limit spectacular actions/speech from auditors.
The DMCA was in effect but not applicable to the case since the DRM scheme of the PS1 doesn't block access to the files of the disc, but instead simply attempts to block the usage of non DRMed media on legitimate PS1s.
Test containers is such a game changer for integration testing, they have language specific docker apis that make it trivial to bring up containers and verify that they are fully initialized and ready to accept connections.

Pretty much every project I create now has testcontainers for integration testing :)

I setup CI so it lints, builds, unit tests then integration tests (using testcontainers)

Their language bindings provide nice helper functions for common database operations (like generating a connection uri from a container user)

I use them in $day job use them in side projects use them everywhere :)
Thanks for that.

I'm sad to have scrolled down so far to see your comment. This type of content is scary and a huge red flag for the company the person works at. I mean it's one thing to experiment/improve/etc.. but to come out with 'the right way' (TM) and publicize is straight-up Dunning-Kruger.

Also,

> To get a strong signal from a behavioral interview question I usually need around 15 minutes

I laughed out loud on that one. I also need about 15 minutes to get a strong signal from any interview question for any candidate, because I am biased and then I challenge my bias for the rest of the interview, because I don't think I'm smart enough to have cracked the 'hire the right people' code.

> doing this stuff worked better than not doing it

Better for what? Is there a follow-up on the performance of the hire based on doing vs not doing this? Or can it be rephrased to 'doing this stuff gave me a superior sense of confidence about how well I interview people'
I guess that shows how bad the alternative is.

Honeycomb was in fact built to originally be a replacement for scuba, by people who found it so valuable and missed it.
It's just CommonMark, Gruber was ticked off enough that he declined to allow them to use the term Markdown at all. Alone among the variations, or nearly so, he's fine (as your link indicates) with Git-Flavored Markdown.

The thing is, they didn't fork it, they decided to "standardize" it. John Gruber had already published a Markdown standard: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/, and a reference implementation. He's fine with variations on his standard existing, even somewhat encouraging, but took it as a personal insult that others set out on their own initiative to "standardize" something which already had both a standard and an implementation of it. I don't blame him at all.

The outcome isn't so bad, really. We have a whole family of variations on Markdown, which is sometimes annoying for inter-op reasons but it's a lightweight plain-text standard, making a few tweaks to parse it with a different engine isn't going to ruin your day. CommonMark ended up being an acceptable standard for a minimum-but-extended dialect which the diverse implementations can (mostly) implement, which was the goal, and better yet, people don't get to be dicks about "that isn't Markdown" by reference to the CommonMark standard. Gruber made sure of that, and bless him for it.

Well, that joke shows you’ve got the dad part down.
My anecdotal experience is that someone who starts at 25 and plays until 35 will be a shadow of a 15yo who started at 5. Are there concert pianists who started late, say post-puberty? I think maybe jazz, but the standards are pretty different.
I kinda have to leave it open. I can't rightfully say for certain it's Mossad.

It looks like it's related to Israel's offensive, but even that is subject to interpretation. It remains an open question to me too. The most I'd feel comfortable speculating on is that the attacks were possibly leveraging Israeli infrastructure (Luminati?), which says little about the actors involved.

There's a secondary insider event that occurred coincidental to the beginning of the attacks against us that makes me particularly suspicious of our "friends" but I absolutely cannot discuss that here.
I doubt that's Magna Steyr's fault though. They've produced 10k cars, but Fisker have only delivered half of those, and from everything I've seen, it seems to be well-built from a hardware standpoint.
> In other words: Keep it up, you'll the reap the fruit of your labor eventually!

No, you won't necessarily reap the fruit of your labor. You will certainly improve, but most of us will face a hard upper limit with diminishing returns as an adult.

I've played trumpet and guitar since age 13. I started learning piano ~10 years ago, age 40. But even after a decade with thousands of hours of practice, I still can't "natively" read bass clef. I still mis-read G as E, e.g., if I'm not actively paying close attention. Where I could sight-read treble clef basically perfectly since I was a kid, I'm still clumsy on bass clef after 10 years of learning as an adult.

Just like learning a new language.

Ask HN: How to license an OSS so that only commercial use is paid?
When building and maintaing OSS-es, I like to get paid. I really like the idea of having the software be completely free, essentially no paywalled features for personal use (or for NPOs), but making commercial and government organizations pay for it, possibly with a few extra enterprise features like SSO.

I'm wondering how I would license this. I really have no clue on licensing, I use MIT for nearly everything. I've seen some people mention dual-licensing, but I'm not sure how that works.

TL;DR: What kind of licensing to use so that personal and NPOs don't pay, but commercial and governments do pay (per user).
In growth we had a failed experience with groovy… but Netflix wide? I think they just wanted to stick with basic Java.
I agree with both of your philosophies and also run a VPS. However, lots of people would have no idea how to manage a server from scratch or to install a web server, even a static one. Netlify really is pretty amazingly simple for what it offers, which is a lot. And even among those who think they can run a server, many probably have wide open security holes they are oblivious to.

You are correct, but so is the parent (although I wouldn’t have put it quite like that).

Laws are there to serve society. Some of the ways it serves society is when it restrains society, but people are not stupid and understand when they’re being unreasonably restrained. Unreasonably being the key word, as I’d like to think we’re all generally anti-murder around here, even if we can argue to death about things like AirBnB.

Let me put it like this: the laws of San Francisco (and other cities) protected Taxi drivers from competition, and by the late aughts the local taxi services here were godawful magnets for complaints every weekend that the relevant regulatory authority (the SFMTA) didn’t do a goddamned thing about. If you wanted to go out and enjoy a nice weekend night, the responsible thing was not to drive. But good luck getting home, and if you could get a cab, it would be filthy and the driver would unlawfully insist his card reader was broken (it wasn’t, and it never was, the card reader was probably the most reliable thing in that car given how little wear and tear it would have seen in life).

Uber didn’t walk into a well regulated transportation marketplace. They and Lyft drove headfirst into a marketplace where the existing laws and regulations were suppressing supply and killing the market, and not in service of the passengers (i.e. the voters). They won the battles that mattered which were the political battle by upending a status quo that had favored this shitty little taxi medallion system and the market battle by just being better at a price people were willing to pay than their competition.

Popularity doesn’t always translate to policy in a democracy, but it often does.
Imagine the article was "resurrecting loved ones as video ghosts could harm your mental health." It's also "true," but progress! Progress!
I am genuinely asking, what on earth do y'all think "monopoly" and "anti-trust" mean?

It's baffling to me because some users on HN grandstand so much about how making your own product or platform means that you are morally obligated to support any and every third party under the sun. But then the actual tech industry seems to be the direct opposite - if anything companies make lots of fanfare out of achieving basic interop.
Why is Python so popular? I do not understand

* It has syntax from hell. Significant white-space, tabs are not spaces... I used to configure emacs to convert tabs to spaces... Silly me

* It is achingly slow (and often a memory hog, thinking of Django requiring 2GB to install). This might not matter if it were only used as a script glue, but larger and larger applications keep getting built in python. Why?

* It does not maintain backward compatibility. I recently moved to Debian-12, and two important, to me, big python systems failed: Yocto and mod-ui. It was the difference between 3.10 and 3.27(?what ever is on Debian 12)

It looks like a complete mess from where I sit. That last point, lack of backward compatibility is, IMO, a reason to *not* use python for anything that is expected to be around for a while.

And it is hugely popular.

Why?
Hummingbirds go to mexico to vacation a lot more than I do. Imagine if humans had a manadatory 2000 mile trip and 6 month layover twice a year to survive.

Once you have technology that enables flapping type motion, it's opening up the applicable physics to like 6 degrees of freedom versus zero in current wing technology (fixed = 0 degree of freedom); much more complex and interesting to study.

How else will we move toward ornithopter style wings, or vehicles that can hover via wing movement.
You're right; this was my mistake

On paper this seems similar to how Kaiser operates. AFAIK Kaiser is generally well-liked by its members, why is UHC so terrible?

The article seems to seamlessly go from "computer vision" to "AI" which is an extremely loaded term from the last few years. It feels like the tech could be basically: align two photos separated by a day/week/month, do a difference. Repeat that for tens of thousands of square kilometers.

I'd call that "computer vision". If I explain that to a layperson, I might accidentally say AI, then they think ChatGPT, ..., Skynet, Terminator.
Klarna is a company I avoid. They show no respect for local legislation.

I went from doing things like I describe in the blog post, to verifying and validating the most complex electronic warfare simulation the DOD has ever done, to being a developer of one of the enabling technologies of that simulation.

I believe what I do now is important, but getting an issue past test and into the release that's sent to customers isn't nearly as satisfying as "I fixed the tailhook last night, which let today's flight test happen". I miss having an aircraft that I can touch.

DeCSS was not spared by it because the interoperability exemption applies only to software, not media like video or music.
Progress Report January 2024
I think the critical decision making is whether or not to engage in air strikes.

Once the US makes that decision, then I think, the US should use all tools at its disposal including AI, computer vision, big data, etc to ensure that it targets and destroys what it needs to. Excluding technology to make itself less competent is, I think, stupid.
I think the following, passages from the decision highlight why you're misunderstanding, or perhaps misusing the term "disruptive":

> Appellees are high school students who sought to solicit support for their opposition to a United Nations resolution against "Zionism." On a Saturday afternoon they set up a card table in a corner of PruneYard's central courtyard. They distributed pamphlets and asked passersby to sign petitions, which were to be sent to the President and Members of Congress. Their activity was peaceful and orderly, and, so far as the record indicates, was not objected to by PruneYard's patrons.

There's other similar passages, but broadly: no one except the owner appeared to complain, which makes arguments about disruption difficult to see. They weren't actually annoying any patrons. If individual shops felt compelled to leave, or patrons complained, the situation would be different.
While I'm willing to believe that someone like the EFF or similar will step up to provide them competent legal representation given the stakes of this case, I doubt that Yuzu will win against Nintendo given things like the Psystar vs Apple case. That ship sailed 20 years ago and the future is one of being ruled by the whims of major software producers :(
Why does this logic fall down for Apple? Is it size? Is the argument different if it were Microsoft doing similar with XBox?

Did you read the rest of my comment, especially the FAQ # 29 (https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/California_Equal_Pay_Act.htm) where it says:

> 29. Is an employer required to include the pay scale on job postings?
As of January 1, 2023, an employer with 15 or more employees must include the pay scale for a position in any job posting. If an employer with 15 or more employees engages a third party to announce, post, publish, or otherwise make known a job posting it must provide the pay scale to the third party and the third party must include it within the job posting. The Labor Commissioner interprets this to mean that the pay scale must be included within the job posting if the position may ever be filled in California, either in-person or remotely.

That's a FAQ for the from the DIR, as recommended by their own Public Information Officer, who specifically suggested that you fill out that form for pay scale transparency violations.

--------

If you don't trust that news article where this information comes from, here is the actual law:

https://law.justia.com/codes/california/2022/code-lab/divisi...

The complaint procedure written into the law just says to talk to the Labor Commissioner. That still goes through the DIR, but there is a more general complaint form if you prefer: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/HowToReportViolationtoBOFE.htm

So it's up to you whether you want to use the more general form, the more specific one recommended by their PIO, or just contact a field office and talk to a live person who works there to make sure.
> and "stop sampling" is just a bizarre marketing angle

Wait, where did I mention stopping sampling? :) The opposite: the article is praising the native sampling Scuba has.
I am not a lawyer but a prison sentence doesn't seem like a possible outcome from a civil lawsuit. That must have been a criminal case against him, which means he was prosecuted by the state / the Crown, rather than Nintendo. I don't know the details though.

mipsytipsy also worked with scuba, and she specifically designed honeycomb, an observability tool based on wide events, around the motivating idea that a very imperfect tool like scuba could do lots of things better than much more polished and better engineered tools which didn't use the wide events approach.
I've rarely found this to be worth it, for the effort required for a proper mock, in a complex system. I've seen most people mock in ways that are so superficial that it's basically a no-op.

> it needs a human to control each step of the process

Does this possibly include proofreading, editing, etc? Or does the AI automagically upload its content as soon as a human inputs a prompt?
For this:

> There is only one person who this benefits and it's the person who charges you for the pipeline, which is exactly why people who sell a pipeline are incentivized to tell you that sampling is bad

I largely agree, and I'll say that at least with Honeycomb (since it's mentioned by the author) we make sampling a key component of pretty much any deal before anything gets signed. For small stuff this clearly doesn't matter so much, but it basically boils down to:

- Most of your data is probably uninteresting because it's uniform and represents success cases, so you just need a statistically significant sampling to get a sense of what "okay" means for comparisons

- Whenever there's an error or high latency, there's almost always something interesting in there, and you probably want all of it

And so this typically works out to generating an order of magnitude or two more data than you actually need to get an accurate view of what's going on any any point in time.

And so when you do this, you can (and probably should?) pack your events/logs/traces/whatever-you-call-it with a bunch of data.

There's some examples where you can't do this, though. Some people want to be able to do something like plug in a customer ID and dig up the exact trace that represents something they complained about. Or there's some compliance to adhere to, legal or non-legal, where it's still less money to pay for everything unsampled than it is to deal with the consequences of non-compliance. But for most organizations I'd say what I mentioned above holds true.

...but that's just one of the several ways that some folks will frame up Observability. The term has been kleenexed a bit so it now means whatever any vendor says it means, and they all say varyingly different things.
AirBnB's major achilles heel is that it actually isn't popular.

It is popular with tourists, who don't vote in the jurisdictions they visit, and it is popular with some landlords, who are a small minority that generally the renting public have at best indifference and often hatred for. It is very unpopular among renters who now see supply taken off long-term rental market; and it is very unpopular among other homeowners who do not want to live next to hotels.

It is not really a surprise that major tourist destinations are now slapping AirBnB with all kinds of restrictions.
Was that from memory? If so, kudos to you!
The interesting thing with that is the only way people really master things is when they just like what they're doing enough to put up with the difficulty of getting to that level.
Seems like such a test would be strictly less useful than a test that runs against the real dependeny.
> keep stuff accessible to humans and not have it scraped for models

I suspect that over the next 100 years, as AI and biotech come together, the boundaries between human and bot will start to blur. At some point it will be unethical to differentiate between human, bot, and everything in-between.

I argue that that time is now, if at the very least for the sake of AI-based assistive technologies to be developed to turn a disabled {100% human} into a highly functional {80% human + 20% bot}.

Bot detection should, for this reason, be doomed as an ADA violation.
On top of that, metrics can have exemplars, which give you more (and dynamic) dimensions for buckets without increasing the cardinality of the metric vectors themselves. It's pretty much a wide event, with the sampling rate on this extra information just being the scrape interval you were already using anyway.

Not every library or tool supports exemplars, but they're a big part of the Prometheus & Grafana value proposition that many users entirely overlook.
for a moment, I've read porn stars as physically stars (which transmit information if you do research)...though there was idk an ai that link stars to do porn-astrology? Or that detect gas clouds that have a porn-compatible shape?
