Hi, developper of Lasso from Entr'ouvert here (sorry for the english, I'm more used to talk about programming than french law):

It took so much time for many reasons :

* first the judge advised us to try to mitigate, mitigation failed because Orange/FranceTelecom did not want to mitigate anything (we asked in mitigation for nearly what we won in the end),

* we returned in tribunal, and the judge asked for an expertise to see if really the fact that Orange linked their program with Lasso inside an Apache module was violating GPLv2,

* we lost on first instance,

* we made appeal and won but not on the counterfeiting accusation, only on some other kind of violation in French named "parasitism", the fact is french juridication doctrine on "licences" was that is was a contract, and only a contract and the could only invoke civil contract law and not use counterfeiting laws,

* we did not agree with that, and neither did the european justice court, so we asked the french equivalent of the 2nd circuit (Cours de cassation) to overrule the court of appeal doctrine,

* we won in the cours de cassation,

* so we returned to the appeal court and we won.

And here we are.

The inefficiency come from many aspects :
* french judiciary lacks money and resources, it's not new, everything is slow, budget of ministry of justice by citizen, is half or one third of the same budget is germany, but for specialized justice like counterfeiting of software, it's a special court, which should be faster than for usual civil law,

* BUT france is not California, litigation about software licences and especially free software licence is extremely rare, and usually between commercial entities which have real contractual obligation between them, so that the court can concentrate on the commercial aspect (you owed so much, you had to deliver this and did not, etc...) here we did not have any commercial relation with Orange on this project (we had a long time ago on other project not related to the one for which they used Lasso)

* ALSO france has very special doctrine called (in french) "non cumul de la responsabilité contractuelle et délictuelle", it means that if there is some kind of contract between you and a third party, that imposed them to not violate some law which can also be an offense/crime, the invoked responsibility can only coming from the contract and not from the offense/crime law (counterfeiting is an offense in France), so we had to break this doctrine in "Cours de cassation" before being authorized to litigate on counterfeiting.
A bit late but I think you're going to have points with infinite hexagons in any neighbourhood of them. Otherwise the set of hexagons would be finite because of compactness.

Which I think means those points can't really lie on the edge of or interior of a hexagon. But I can't rule out that they might lie on a corner, it's hard to reason about.

Nonsense. Reddit was full of right wing conspiracy theorists in the beginning. They went away when a user 911_was_an_inside_job and others started trolling the truthers and the admins and mods started to ban and shadow-ban anything right of center.

And then, years later, there was the mod cabal hijacking of all the large subreddits and admins shutting down all subs they could not control.

Respectfully, I completely disagree with your view on this. We need to secure that stuff, or take it off the internet, not use it as an excuse to spy on everyone. I also view the requirement for ID to fly domestic as something that is 100% bad and needs to be eliminated.
Double images are already present in NTSC/PAL due to interlacing. So when doubling the Hz of PAL on a CRT, you get a quadruple image. Though this probably still looks better than non-interlaced content on LCD/OLED, which exhibits smearing instead.
To shut out sounds, the thing that seems to work for me is to play thunderstorm sounds. Because it's got a high degree of randomness across the frequency spectrum, and its spectrum varies over short timescales, external noise is masked even if it's still audible - because the brain can easily fit it into the thunderstorm pattern. Whereas if I'm annoyed by something, my brain will pick it out from behind music in listening to, even if it's quieter.

When I'm hearing someone else's thump thump music and my ear buds aren't sufficient to block it, that's the only thing I've found to work.
You can probably do like a thousand transactions where the first part of the database is a freebie. Almost no trust needed.

I think you're missing multiple points here.

Secondly, from my position as a tech writer (for about 25 years) overlapping for well over a decade with some 20-odd years as a software tech support person and trainer, I think you are dramatically over-estimating the level of understanding of the average Linux user.

A Linux user can be expected to be a bit more clueful than a Windows user, but not much. They probably understand the concept of a "directory tree" and know that there are "files", some "executable", in "directories", one of which is "current", and stuff like that, but you can not rely on them grasping advanced concepts such as "search paths" and "links" (of different kinds, no less!)

The idea that there's a second, "more standard" tree, and it's optionally overlayed on top of the flat software-managed Nix tree, made up of symbolic links, and that you don't need to know where things are because the software magically makes sure that the OS can find them... I'm sorry but after coming up on 40 years in tech, my reaction to that might be captured by the crying-laughing emoticon. You could no more explain that to the average distro-hopper than you could explain it to a Labrador dog.

How it gets set? Don't care. A script is what I'd assume, sure, but that's no more important than the colour of the script's author's hair.

I'm saying that, professionally, as a writer, I have now presented the concept to smart interested users that they let go of the filesystem hierarchy and just let the OS manage that, and I'd say about 9 out 10 of my readers responded "oh to h3ll with that! No WAY!"

It is a step _much_ too far. It's comparable but worse than self-driving cars to these folks.

To refer to memes again, you need the god-level intellect step of the intelligence meme:
https://imgflip.com/i/45rmf2

... to grasp the concept that you don't need to know where files are so long as the OS knows.

This is not one step too far. It is a two-year backpacking trip across all of Asia too far.

“AI invents cures for different types of cancer” seems like a moonshot

What about AlphaFold? It’s just one piece of a very large puzzle but it’s not like AI needs to do it all.

I don’t think AI will be a complete solution for much of anything but I do think that it will be a part of the solution for just about everything.
This is nice, I learned a couple of new tricks. The attr one is great.

For many years now, and alongside my "regular" CV, I've had a Markdown to PDF script that uses @page and @media in a small HTML template and essentially creates custom 1-pagers in US format. Instant recruiter turnaround.

In between this and the OP's table splitting trick, this was a good 15m spent on HN.
People don't want to acknowledge it, because they deem that CoPilot and similar tools are too useful. I personally left the day CoPilot became GA. It's an open secret that xGPL licensed applications are fed into AI models, but opponents' voice is drowned under "We're doing something amazing, we don't need any permission. Plus, it's all fair use, anyway" choir.

This also important for Source Available (for your eyes only) licenses. People don't care about them either.

This whole AI thing is a boundless ethics violation in every category, yet people don't care, because "it's awesome!" for reasons I don't understand.

Addendum: The reason why OpenAI has a non-profit part is to allow them to claim that they do non-profit research, which fair-use doctrine requires to work.
One does not need a license for public domain.
Personally hoping this happens.

> Most places with dry still air don't need specific cooling at night, because "everything" already cools due to this effect, and it doesn't stay hot for long after the sun goes down.

Exactly this. This is reflected as well in the article, even if not promintently: they have 30C Celsius at midday (which is hot) and 4-5C at night (which is cold). 25C between day and night is close to desert behavior as far as diurnal air temperature variation [1] is concerned.

To add to your point, they also don't like to set a new precedent, if it takes off everybody would have to do it.

Managerial jobs seem to now be a thing of the past. In the past year, I haven't felt the need for a manager. Even while executing projects that need some form of central collaboration.

At this point in time manager largely feels like some sort of legacy aristocratic position, which a big fat salary all to do nothing. And in most cases, add negative value.
It makes sense for it to be on the rise, the legit landscape now is dire. There are too many platforms to stream or purchase from. If you want to pay it’s difficult.

I understand torrenting offers one easy and convenient search, no ads, can download in advance of a journey, no country lock, no expiring downloads, no series disappearing off Netflix half way through watching.
Usually the biggest problem with comment sections is moderation. For example for spam (automated or non-automated). I couldn't find anything about that topic on the site, how are you going to deal with that?
One phenomenon I've found peculiar on frosty mornings is that the grass directly under my (apple) trees doesn't freeze, leaving a noticeable silhouette on the lawn. I've assumed it was due to the cool, heavy air falling and the tree acting as a shield but this article makes me think there are more complex factors at play.

One thing that made my i3 experience complete is discovering the Vimium browser extension that allows you to completely control your browser using the keyboard shortcuts you already know. Fundamentally changed the way I use browsers.

This is not an uncommon behavior in source code control systems, e.g. both Perforce and Mercurial behave like Git too.

Whether it violates the GPL aside, is there a need for a new license that explicitly forbids what OpenAI has done?
So what if you can't host the patch on GitHub or other corporate platform. You can't (yet) successfully get things off the entire Internet, DMCA or not. And I doubt the HDMI Forum would put in too much effort to stop this considering the various unlicensed dongles that are available for sale.
A conspiracy theory is a theorized conspiracy, not just any given incident in history where a conspiracy has occurred.

The reason people express 'belief' in conspiracy theories is because they by definition are making a leap of faith on something that isn't widely considered verified or proven.
The legal precedent seems to be "If you steal GPL code, 14 years later you have to pay $650k - assuming the developer didn't give up before that"

"Caves and Commons" sounds like actual paradise.
With the exception of two vacations to California, I have lived my entire life in high humidity locations. This sounds like magic, I understand the science and all, but that it can actually work is wild. It might work for me in the winter, when we regularly get drier weather and spend a most nights flirting with freezing.
>Security is of secondary concern than that Machine A actually works...

I don't think this is true, but of course, it depends on the use case too. Security and safety are usually pretty important to me, to a point where I don't use something if I deem it unsafe or insecure. It's not putting the cart before the horse, it's having a bar of standard, and keeping behavior to it.

With regards to security, I agree with the dependency that you describe. Because the browser depends on the OS, if the OS is insecure, I consider the browser insecure as well. So, let me rephrase the original argument: because the OS dead, it doesn't make sense for developers to support it, because no matter how secure they make their software, the dead, insecure OS will render that insecure as well.

>We do, at minimum, know that there were groups of people

I agree, this is my exact point. No person ever truly understood anything. What we actually do is trust, and we manage that trust in ways.

>Terry A. Davis, the creator of TempleOS, deserves to be praised for his effort, not shamed

We're not shaming Terry here. What I did was that I mentioned his vertical understanding of the system that he created.

>Consider looking into Dilbert

I know Dilbert. Management have faults, as they are people too, and so, fallible. But coming from a pure technology background, it has been a revelation to me to understand some of their frameworks of thinking. The reason I suggest this is because many of the happenings are not understandable from a technological standpoint, as the decisions are technologically inferior. But they make sense from a service, or product standpoint.

Please consider the original argument. It's not a huge conspiracy for internet connected software to not support insecure underlying systems. And yes, power is shifting, maybe now away from the OS, and towards Chrome, but also consider that even the browser itself is secondary to what device people actually use the browser on, which is the smartphone and not the PC. And what you can see is that Google browser is used on Google phones, and Apple browser is being used on Apple phones. What they are all doing, and Microsoft wanted too, but failed (but did in the past on the PC), is vertically integrating, and trying to control the market by controlling the standards. Which is as old as a person yelling at their partner that they won't find anyone else besides them, so they should appreciate them more. Just with products and services and large corporations.
My siblings (three of us) and I have entirely cut off our parents.

Recently my youngest brother started receiving letters from them. He moved out, never gave an address, and told them to not contact him. Yet the letters come inviting him back to a “welcoming” home.

And that’s just one of the more “normal” behaviors they exhibit.

Harassment seems too harsh a word but it’s a clear disrespect for boundaries and privacy.

I have a hard time reading these stories without feeling like there’s missing information. I’m intimately familiar with these psuedo-confused attitudes. They play victim yet there’s huge holes in all their stories. All three kids left and yet…nothing but confusion.
Yes, the number of open positions exceeds even the total number of people looking for a job. The number of unemployed people (they are not "workers", some did not work a day in their life) and the number of people looking for a job are very disconnected around here, living on benefits is preferred by way too many.

1. In some rural areas it is economically more profitable not to work than working a low wage job. You raise some chicken and a pig or cow, grow some food for self-consumption, get benefits, gg

2. Some people go for work in Western Europe for 3 to 6 months, then spend the rest of the year at home doing nothing. Or go to work in the season on the seaside and "rest" for the rest of the year.
Git doesn't do a lot of things well. The UX is pretty damn horrible (even linus admitted this) and it's had some pretty terrible defaults.

It's become kind of a cultural symbol for "developerness" though. This shifted the balance of shame. If you don't "get git" that isn't seen as a git problem. That's seen as a you problem. "You're" not a proper developer. This gives it a pass for sucking.

As such, the only people who can criticize it are people who know it back to front. Most other people (especially learners) will assume that if they don't get it that the problem is with them.

He also wrote a good book - https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Autistic-Millionaire-Everythi...
Yea, I think the author was spoiled with always being "listened to", in the way the author describes, and then the author was shocked, that the world doesn't revolve around him. That people don't care what he has to say. So now the author teaches us how we should get into this EXTREMELY passive state, where we mirror everything our interlocutor says, agree completely, never say anything about ourselves, and back away from any confrontation.

The guide is useful in a way, but it's useful for a particular situation: when you want to help someone emotionally. This is not a (good) general listening guide, however. Actually, it's a terrible, toxic guide.

Thinking about large parts of the game development world still using Perforce (or even SVN!) because they frequently need to commit lots of binary asset files to their repos... I guess text is not the only thing that runs the world.

Really there is still no real alternative to Perforce when it comes to handling binary files. Previously PlasticSCM was a good contender but Unity bought it for their own version control system and seems they've stopped developing the original software (which is a shame...)
In Massachusetts? Not sure I'd use that word. Look up the Fernald Institute.
In my wife's experience, men are generally less friendly to women in the corporate environment. In fact, as she climbs the ladder, she finds that the men are more aggressive and hositle toward her.

For her, she just wants to get the same pay and recognition as the rest of her group. For instance, she was the #1 seller of new work in 2023 in her 80-person group. Yet, she got a $10k bonus, while her male peers got promotions. (She's in the building industry, and there are only 8 women in her group).
Concorde’s failure makes me very sad. I understand that the economics didn’t stack up but it feels like we’ve given up trying to reach for the space age style future envisaged 70 years ago and instead are settling for “the same but a fraction nicer or a bit cheaper” in many areas.
I would say they’re often no more interesting than anyone else.

My sister-in-law supposedly believes Princess Diana was assassinated, which is included in one of these lists of popular conspiracy theories. She might have other similar beliefs, but as far as I know, she’s a normal person with fairly normal (uncontroversial) beliefs.

To me, a single belief in A conspiracy theory is not that big of a deal. When someone starts believing in many of these, it gets more interesting.

But for me the door do solve many of those problems. Most problems are non of my concern in the first place.

Also private offices are way more social, as you can have meetings, chat and cooperate without ruining everyone elses day.

The conclusion of the article says "[...] so far linking (even statically) is done for interoperability, does not [...]". IANAL but it could mean that linking against a GPL library for interoperability is OK in EU, but it does not mean it's true for general case of linking with GPL libraries.
