If you believe in democracy then you would know that the buck stops with us, the citizens, or to be more specific, with our democratically elected officials. Apple's participation in the EU market is contingent on their obedience of our laws and regulations.

If they don't wish to follow these laws, they're just as free to exit the market.
I totally love this from a DIY creative perspective. You could probably sell this to Zack Snyder for $5m.

Because that's basically what happened in his last 2 abominable movies. He found some really unsuitable thrift lenses and thought it was a master stroke of genius to use them in a professional movie. That's why virtually every single frame is horribly blurred except at the exact center.
If you want to get this effect quickly without spending any money at all, and you have a pro-type camera with a removable lens, you can get it by just holding the lens against the opening, and rocking it side to side a little.

It's a pretty common trick photographers and videographers use to get a sort of dream-sequence effect.
Could I accomplish the same thing by using instapage and changing my DNS for my store?
You aren’t discussing the controversial part at all. You have laid out the part that everyone agrees with.

GPLv2 means you pass your modifications back - easy.

GPLv2 might mean that by calling a libraries static functions from your code, that is a “modification”, and now must include code that is not logically a modification at all. This is even more grey area if you dynamically link them - hard.

“What is a derivative” has feed millions of lawyer’s family’s, imo this type of broad interpretation does not belong in OSS. Give it to me or don’t, I promise to pass my modifications back, but don’t pretend that integrating it into my code is modification that allows you to see what I do with it.

LGPL makes more sense. But GPLv2/3 has a business model and that is why it is popular and complex.

Yeah sure. I'd sell them my bridge, but I guess they don't need it...
Thankfully, that's dying on under its own weight now. Games have become so expensive to develop that sales from a single platform struggle to support many of them.
"PC" is so meaningless nowadays, I have no idea if you mean your friend didn't try to open it on a Windows computer, or just a non-mobile device.
One would expect that a site dedicated to clean energy would know the difference between watts and watthours (i.e. power and capacity), on several occasions it claims that the capacity is X gigawatts instead of gigawatthours (GWh). It's hard to figure out what exactly is getting installed as the relation between the two is often different depending on the spec of the system.
Well, for one MS Visual Studio used to cost a fortune. Sure you could use whatever other -- also expensive -- DE or compiler but the end result and the ergonomics weren't as good.

If I'm not mistaken you also had to pay to redistribute or link to system libraries so yeah, you had to pay a pretty penny to play.
Show HN: Compare doing dollar-cost average (DCA) in Bitcoin VS Stocks

Return-to-Work Policies Devolve into a Toxic Cultural Flashpoint
I concur. Problem is, they're probably effective only because Europe has negligible control over Internet services/data due to its complete reliance on the Big Five US tech companies.

They may be imposing fines but Europeans have little (if any) control.

It might be a coincidence, but the EU announced an agreement on Privacy Shield (which had been revoked because of the strict GDPR requirements https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU%E2%80%93US_Data_Privacy_Fra...) on March 25, the exact same day they agreed on a deal to supply EU countries with LNG https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-eu-strike-lng-dea...

Having too little power to provide essential services like energy and communication makes it pretty difficult to defend your citizens' interests…

Apple announces new MacBook Airs with M3 chips
This seems to me like it would be easier than having it create a greenfield project. The legacy code tells the AI the needed functionality so I would think in the near future an AI could rewrite something in a more concise way with the same style throughout, even adding useful comments and docstrings.
I mean, impressive, until you realize the "pre-order" is only $150 that is refundable if the preorderer changes their mind.

Then it becomes more "impressive, in the Long Island Iced Tea, I Mean Blockchain, Corp" kind[1] of way.

At the same time, I imagine the flying car guys are all like "shit, if these car guys can just keep fatally running over pedestrians, driving into walls, and hitting the same goddam truck en masse with no real repercussions — I mean let's gooooooooo!" which is kind of understandable.

You're totally right, and this exactly the sort of thing Wittgenstein set out to show. The trouble is that people have an idea of what a "heap" is and what "evil" is and what "knowledge" is and a lot of philosophy is concerned with pinning down those notions or at least saying something concrete about them.
Yes! You’ve reminded me that there’s some subtle gotchas when using HTMX server-side that are probably worth documenting too. For one, HTMX starts with the assumption that you’re returning HTML fragments, but not all templating languages have good support for decomposing layouts into fragments. You can work around this using hx-select but Alpine AJAX works kind of like hx-select by default.
Also, there’s some response header juggling you have to do when submitting forms that have a validation step before redirecting: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/369

I’ve tried to iron out any footguns or server requirements I’ve bumped into while using HTMX & Hotwire in my projects.
But when and where will you fly it? I would think the the majority of people are not qualified (if not legally then at least practically) to pilot any type of aircraft. You’re not going to fly to work, or skip traffic on the freeway. Seems like little more than a toy and proof of concept.

Putting aside the chances of this ever even becoming a real, commercially available vehicle in the first place.
Sounds like you need to adjust the viewfinder diopter.
It makes a lot of sense to me.

I think a lot of people were less affected by Microsoft’s actions than by Apple’s. After all, Microsoft didn’t stop people from making money off their platform or modifying their computers.

And Microsoft was three decades ago.

Apple is causing people far more harm now than they remember Microsoft doing in the past. (Assuming they were around for it in the first place.)

Edit:

I should have said "a lot of the people talking" instead of just "a lot of people".

I was around for Microsoft and would classify them as evil. The worst you can say about Apple is they are greedy. For all of Apple's flaws, they are competing in the consumer market on merit.
Or, let people choose the other platform that already allows them just that.

What some people may not understand is that a large percentage of Apple customers are buying iPhones because of those restrictions and not in spite of them.
Except the "whole program" bit is in question here. A lot of legal scholars doubt that using the GPL in the way the FSF wants it to be used when it comes to linking would actually confer the terms of that license to the final product (because the FSF wants it to be considered a derivative work of the GPL code). In the EU, it's to the point where the EU themselves have written guidance that they doubt this interpretation applies[0]. This would effectively limit the scope of the GPL to always function like the LGPL/MPL (or any other copyright license that limits the copyleft element to the parts of the program actually licensed as such, as opposed to spreading it across the whole work.)

The problem is that the GPL isn't the law; it's something (a license or a contract, the interpretation of which is a toss-up; the FSF wants it to be a license since it allows shrinkwrapping the terms, all legal enforcement has it treated as a contract) that relies on existing law to function. Which fails to work if it tries to do something that legal framework doesn't allow you to do. You can't enforce copyright over derivatives if it's not considered a derivative to begin with.

If the FSF conceded that the GPL was actually a contract and were to write more explicit terms stating that this is a requirement to using GPL'ed source code, they'd probably not run into this problem, but because they insist on forcing it through the framework of copyright the virality of the license only goes as far as the definition of derivative works go.

It's funny you link to Piet; I began Velato by asking what would Piet be as music. Some programs are instantly recognizable as Piet while others are hardly recognizable as such; the language has its own aesthetic and yet programmers bring their own style to its set of visual constraints, all through fairly basic rules. In Velato, all notes are read in relation to a root note that can change between commands, even in the middle of a single chord. That was meant to allow for more choice in how a programmer constructs a piece of music.

Years later I interviewed David Morgan-Mar about Piet and his other languages https://esoteric.codes/blog/david-morgan-mar and wrote about the concept of multicoding, where a single text has readings in two systems that shape each other (an image and code, music and code etc) https://esoteric.codes/blog/chef-multicoding-esolang-aesthet...
Well, one of two things will happen. Conservatives will win elections (assuming these are "lies by cherry-picking data and stats"), or their numbers will continue to dwindle (Pew Research's demographics data about 70% of Republicans being over age 50, folks 55+ aging out at a rate of 1.8M/year per CDC actuarial data) and rural America continues to wither away. Certainly, we can wait to see what happens to see if the data matches our observations if we believe the thesis put forth doesn't match ground truth, because time will tell us for sure.

Unfortunately, I did not see the recent Bosch exhibition in Milan (2022/3). But if you are in Milan, go to see the Bruegels in the Brera - astonishingly impressive - and surely an influence on Bosch.
Not really. This is just the beginning. Governments are leaning into open source and will likely see protections like this, and their enforcement as helping secure the open supply chain. Which is something they’re already trying to do.

I’m not sure about the rest of you out there with companies, but for me the trend seems clear and I’m gonna be much more cautious going forward with the kind of licenses I use both as a vendor and buyer.
Seems Safari doesn't allow fetching `localhost` from an https website
Opening paragraphs:

There are two major reasons that the U.S. doesn’t pass an internet-era privacy law or regulate data brokers despite a parade of dangerous scandals.

One, lobbied by a vast web of interconnected industries with unlimited budgets, Congress is too corrupt to do its job.

Two, the U.S. government is disincentivized to do anything because it exploits this privacy dysfunction to buy data, dodge warrants, and expand surveillance.

Stores about the massive and growing scope of corp & gov surveillance have been published for a very long time.

Charitably, I'd guess there's a psychological barrier that keeps journalists and editors from reaching this point - or at least reaching it with the impression that the public should be aware.

Logically, news coverage should progress pointing out these inescapable conclusions, yet it ~never does.

So where does the Apple Music subscription entering the market to compete with Spotify (which came first), without having to pay itself 30%, nor being prevented from advertising how to subscribe in the first place, fit in to that narrative?

For any interesting market that props up on the App Store, Apple is free to: start by extracting 30% from everything in said market; then, develop its own competing product at a technical advantage (with access to private APIs) and a comercial advantage (avoiding said 30% fees); and, finally, bundle and market the shit out of their own thing, all the while restricting other's marketing (with steering and MFN rules).

And according to some people, this is all perfectly fine behaviour, by Apple standards.
I think the measure for fine-tuning as an ongoing process was to let the communities grow and maintain themselves organically based on the knowledge and experience of power-users, but what happened is that instead of letting the wisdom cascade for generations they ended up with opinionated, gatekeeping cliques.

SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, US based, backend engineer

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 9 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly.

You will like working with me because I:

* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples:

* built the streaming data architecture for realtime game player information and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization.

* Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.

* replatformed dozens of jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund, vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months.

* built a ~50 node, AWS, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.

* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.

Otherwise you will be chasing this for a long time:

Vs

Official.users.example.net, mail.users.example.net, etc.

There are (rare) situations where gambling is logical. It hinges around the obvservation that not all dollars are equal.

It's basically the opposite of insurance, and most people consider insurance to be rational despite the fact that the "house always wins". A small regular payment that you can afford is preferable to an irregular large one that you can't, even if the small regular payments add up to more than the irregular large ones.

The opposite effect can occur. Imagine if you owe the mafia $X but you only have $X/2. They'll break your legs if you don't give them $X. If you gamble and win you can pay off the mafia. If you don't gamble you'll be in basically the same situation as if you gamble and lose. So it's rational to gamble.

The existence of rational reasons to gamble is problematic. It's very easy to convince yourself that you are in one of those situations even if you aren't.
I've always (n = 5) had good landlords and I think the key is selecting landlords that prioritize having good tenants over maximising rental yield. I've had the privilege of lots of external legible markers of success that make me appear as a "safe" candidate for lots of landlords.

2 of the 5 landlords lived in the same building where I lived alone and we became decently close over time and 3 of the 5 we rented the whole house but we were a group of grad students/working professionals that were an attractive demo.

As with anything on the internet, "This went mostly fine" is a perspective you rarely see so the prevalence of problems appears grossly exaggarated.
Git-svn is very mature and feature rich. I've used it a couple of times to good effect. Little need for it these days though.

I'm not convinced.

I have a very acclaimed old design 50/1.5 lens (but was bought new), but it just sucks compared with a modern much cheaper 50-70/3.5. The colors in particular, they are just bad. I'm not sure what test would pick that, a color accuracy kind of test. Modern coatings truly do wonders.
That was an interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

Personally I don’t care about a country productivity as much as I care about quality of life but I think that’s an entirely different discussion and it’s much more subjective as quality of life means different things for different people :)
CVS certainly sucked by today's standards, and SVN was indeed a big improvement, and Git much more so.

All I wanted to stress is that the "lock-before-you-can-touch" approach was the norm in the enterprise world at the time. IMHO, this fact alone made SVN (even CVS) better than all the commercial products which I used at the time.

When some of the "enterprise" world started adopting SVN and commercial products started relaxing the locking mandate, the open-source world was already embarked on the decentralized model (git, darcs, arch, mercurial, etc).

But we are talking about the GPL. If they used a different licence (as they eventually did after months of argument) it would not be relevant, but just the terms we got under GPL were not clearly sufficient, and their first response was "it's okay because we are fine with it". If it was an "it's okay because we are fine with it" in licence form, then it would not be GPL, but a different licence altogether.

It's a piece of technology, and it has function. It just hasn't an obvious use case. If someone publishes a programming language, usually they provide examples and a descripton on the purpose of the language, or in which way it improves over other existing languages. It doesnt make any sence to publish a technology which has no obvious use case without any explanation of its intended purpose.
This is indeed huge for Anthropic. I have never been able to use Claude as much simply because of how much it wants to be safe and refuses to answer even for seemingly safe queries.

Why don't we raise it to an astronomical level so we can conserve even more? /s

Because there are only, maybe, a half dozen companies that own most of the popular media in the US.
They claim that the new models "are significantly less likely to refuse to answer prompts that border on the system’s guardrails than previous generations of models", looks like about a third of "incorrect refusals" compared to Claude 2.1. Given that Claude 2 was completely useless because of this, this still feels like a big limitation.
