Both things can be true. The wealth of comments in this very discussion from people who aren't sure what exactly is and isn't permitted under the GPL shows that it is vague.

I'm just not convinced that the lack of clarity which tends to steer large companies away from such software is just a bug, not a feature.
> Apple hasn't been just making competing harder, but outright impossible.

That's why Android marketshare is much larger than iOS marketshare and why Windows marketshare is much larger than MacOS marketshare.

After reading maybe 8000 posts complaining about Apple "monopoly" I just can't get my head around how hackers can earnestly believe such a thing.

I think the right choice depends on the kind of signal:

1. SigPipe and similar synchronous signals can be disabled. You already get an error code from the IO operation anyways, so they're redundant. It's kind of useful for traditional unix command line tools, since it'll just terminate the process when the output pipe gets closed.

2. SigInt and similar messages from other processes, should be handled via signalfd or the self-pipe trick. That way they look like any other asynchronous message that might come in via a pipe or socket.

3. SigSegV and other severe errors can just terminate the process

Windows chose a different approach:

SigSegV is a (structured) exception which causes unwinding. Unwinding has its own set of challenges, especially as language boundaries are crossed.

SigInt calls a registered callback on a separate thread, so the handler is not subjected in the same limitations as a signal of an existing thread, and can use the same synchronization primitives as any other multi threaded code. GUI applications have a message queue per window, which is used for similar purposes (sometimes it makes sense for a console application to create a hidden window to receive such messages).

I guess this is advice specifically for if you're a therapist, or a not-really-a-therapist-but-acting-as-one such as a manager trying to support an upset employee. The distinguishing part of these conversations is they're not symmetrical - the focus is supposed to be on one person much more than the other.

(Maybe "if they're crying, don't relate" would be a more focused heuristic.)

In an everyday "you've met someone and want to get to know them better" situation, relating sounds like a good thing all round: they share something about themselves, you share back with something related about yourself.
UK to Australia would be a huge improvement and would mean I am significantly more likely to go there. I already happily fly 2-3 hours across Europe without it taking up an entire day of travel (30 minutes to the airport arrive 2 hours before, 2-3 on the plane and then 10 minutes from plane to taxi/train at the other end) vs the same + 20 hours of flying and likely a stop over.

Show HN: A free AI community-driven tool that can execute any kind of tasks
Hey guys ! Nelima (https://sellagen.com/nelima) is a tool my friend and I created that can automate and help you with a wide range of tasks. Basically it’s designed for taking actions on your behalf with natural language commands. For example, it can schedule appointments, send emails, check the weather - it can even connect to your Git repo and analyze your code, ask it to publish a website for you or even call an Uber for you! You can integrate your own custom actions to suit your specific needs and you can layer multiple actions to perform more complex tasks.

It’s really the first action-focused community driven AI project! The collective knowledge of the community contributes to the capabilities of Nelima by creating and sharing your actions. We'll be hosting a few prize competitions in the future for people to build certain actions :)

Excited to see what people build and which actions are the most popular (I'm still building the page where you can see all published actions but should be coming soon). Any feedback is super appreciated!

those held off market usually means summer houses and the like.

and just natural turnover - people moving, outgrowing their home (or on the other end when someone leaves the home, or pass away) - leads to a vacancy of millions of homes. people usually harp about this a lot, and I also think it would be good to get people into homes, even if temporary, faster. but the effective solution is land value tax, and high density. everything else is just bad and worse trade-offs (like rent control and various machinations with 'affordable' units, and so on).

regarding highrises, I noticed that they mostly look the worst when they are new. everyone is moving in, elevators are full of scratches. there's a lot of ongoing construction (inevitably there will be someone from a hundred tenants, who wants to change something). and then eventually it settles into some steady state. ... so this forced cycling or whatever this management company did is just 120% WTF to me.
Low persistence only gives perfect motion when your eye motion perfectly matches the object motion[0]. For all other motion, low persistence causes false images to be generated on the retina, which can be seen as "phantom array effect"[1].

I think interpolation up to several kilohertz is the best solution, preferable starting from a moderately high frame rate (e.g. 200fps) to minimize the latency penalty and artifacts.

Dynamic linking (also what most more modern languages do instead of traditional static linking) always has been an utter mess when it comes to GPL "virality".

It's completely untested in court and a lot of legal scholars doubt the reasoning and interpretations given by the FSF (namely that dynamically linking with a GPLed work transfers the same GPL license to that work) would be allowed by current copyright law.

More or less amounts to the question of "do you need to use parts of the original work to make a derivative work".

Another, possibly far bigger problem, is that it's entirely possible to effectively neuter the GPL with a secondary contract. We know this is legally possible because of what Red Hat does (cut you off as a customer if you redistribute the source code of RHEL) as well as a far more direct legal case in Germany where a WordPress theme maker was able to prevent distribution of a theme they made by arguing that the contract made when the theme was sold overrode the terms of the GPL and prevented the buyer from sharing the theme because of agreed to terms in the contract.
It also seems crazy in certain areas, such as where the ground freezes in winter. All those little pores will freeze and break, turning the entire concrete mass to powder.

People hate unneeded work, so in the old days, if there were large boulders of granite in fields to clear, they'd hand drill holes in the top. Then, over a few winters, the freezing water would break the granite.
Well, turns out the CEO of Orange back then was Thierry Breton, and indeed nowadays Mr. Breton is a European Commissioner, so things turned out pretty well for him.

I appreciate Surrealism. It's an important insight. I revere many of the early surrealists. I have made several pilgrimages of slight deviation to see the original works.

But it seems to be one of those revolutions based on a single idea. And when you see it, understand it, appreciate it, there is nothing more (original) to be said.

It does not age well. There is not a semi-infinite 'fountain' of newly interesting surrealism (other than your own dreams). It can span the contextual artifact of Duchamp (you know the one), through the mild jarring of Magritte, to the impeccable fine art of Dalí, and the architecture of Gaudí, but not much more (okay maybe the magical realist writings of Gabriel García Márquez et al.).

Perhaps that is the lifespan: the urinal (1917) to '100 Years of Solitude' (1967), exactly 50 years, no more.

It's a one-trick-pony. In many cases, someone could describe a piece verbally, I would get the intention, the joke, and enjoy it, but never feel the need to see the work itself - what more could it possibly say?

Most contemporary surrealism is just cashing in on a very good old idea. It is now a cliché.

In some contexts, the more surrealist you claim to be, the more 'authentically' obscure you can make the connection to reality, the more impatiently some important gallery wants to show your work, the more big ignorant donors give to the gallery, and the higher the prices for the work. The three are connected, of course, in the boring vicious spiral of the artist-gallery-donor-speculator industrial complex (or virtuous circle if you are getting a cut).

Luckily, AI is coming to the rescue, showing that even robots dream of electric sheep, and hallucination is a common artifact of the only two intelligences we know about. There is not more in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your human/AI philosophy. Surrealism can be generated in a mouse click, which will kick the stool out from under the fake surrealist modern art market. Good.
> I don't understand why shadowbanning would be so effective

Because if done correctly the user never knows they are shadow-banned. It sounds trivial when you know _how_ the shadowban is done. But for instance, instead of an IP check, perhaps it's a time check - after 3 days it comes into play. Or a combination of different checks. So imagine that you are accessing a service that appears to be working correctly .... you would basically need to a) determine that that service even does shadowbanning, and b) think of infinite ways that you might be shadowbanned and try to determine if that's the case.
Looking at this list comparing the M3 with M1 doesn't motivate me to want the M3. It seems most gains are GPU related. The M2 was underwhelming, and it seems the M3 isn't much better than the M2 so comparing against M1.

> M3 takes MacBook Air performance even further:

> Game titles like No Man’s Sky run up to 60 percent faster than the 13-inch MacBook Air with the M1 chip.

> Enhancing an image with AI using Photomator’s Super Resolution feature is up to 40 percent faster than the 13-inch model with the M1 chip, and up to 15x faster for customers who haven’t upgraded to a Mac with Apple silicon.

> Working in Excel spreadsheets is up to 35 percent faster than the 13-inch model with the M1 chip, and up to 3x faster for customers who haven’t upgraded to a Mac with Apple silicon.

> Video editing in Final Cut Pro is up to 60 percent faster than the 13-inch model with the M1 chip, and up to 13x faster for customers who haven’t upgraded to a Mac with Apple silicon.

> Compared to a PC laptop with an Intel Core i7 processor, MacBook Air delivers up to 2x faster performance, up to 50 percent faster web browsing, and up to 40 percent longer battery life.

Combining the two datapoints 15x faster than Mac with non-Apple-silicon and 2x faster than PC with i7 makes it seem like Intel parts have improved a lot since Apple stopped using them.
Motion blur makes sense for films. I have no idea why anyone wants it in a game. The limitations of display technology and of the human eye introduce all the blur I could ever want.

Arguably this one: People are deceived about vaccine safety.

Is it deceiving to argue something is "safe" when the person receiving the advice is not educated enough in vaccines or statistics to make a truly educated decision? A truthful description about the safety of any medicine involves a deep understanding of statistics, medical testing and general risk calculation.
Come back here in a few years, you'll find my prediction accurate.

The position of the US is largely due to its ability to print money in the modern era and that era is ending. When company performance is largely determined by central bank interest rates you don't have a real economy.
I don't think so, are you sure? The Conseil d'Etat has two distinct roles (and thus two distinct branches):

- serving as the supreme court for the administrative "order" - as a judge, the CE does not check if laws are constitutionnal

- serving as legal counsel to the government - in which case it does check if bills put forward by the governement (i.e. not laws already adopted) are constitutionnal but this is merely advisory.

> I prefer the MIT license for my own projects.

Yes, but it's a different license! It's not really comparable with regards to preference because the goal of MIT or BSD is different to GPL.

If $PROJECT-1 can be modified and then redistributed as closed-source by $COMPANY, then MIT is a good fit.

If $PROJECT-2 must only ever be redistributed if $COMPANY redistributes their modifications and derivatives as open-source, then GPL is a good fit.

It depends on the specific project, which is why I cannot say "I prefer MIT" or "I prefer GPL", because for some projects I don't want it repackaged and released as proprietary software, while with others I do want others to repackage and redistribute as proprietary software.

Proclaiming a preference for one type of license over another is akin to saying "I prefer bicycles", because you aren't going to prefer bicycles when needing transport to move house.

I'm not sure it is the win you're suggesting. I had brief stints with CVS and TBH it really sucked.

Luckily when I started coding seriously (which coincided with my first job), SVN just reached 1.0 and it was OK. This was 2004 already.

IMHO, the whole situation was fixed only after Linus decided he had enough of the crap and wrote his own.
Apple blocking even the mention of alternative payment options in its app is pathetic. They are what they supposedly reviled in the original 1984 commercial for the Mac [0]. They're even doing "newspeak" in the brazenly self-serving way they attempt to justify these choices.

Thing is so, good vintage lenses, and I mean lenses from the 70s, are actually incredibly sharp, and perform great optically. To this very day, if you get a good sample.

Improvements are mainly in terms of coating (reflections, ghosts and such) as well as zoom ranges and auto focus systems. That vintage lenses are not sharp is simply not true, having a lot less of glass in a lense is actually an advantage.

If you talk about lab test numbers, especially around the corners of the frame, modern lenses sure beat vintage ones. Not that you would realize any of that in real life (art replication, detailed macro work and other specialized stuff nonwithstanding).
I also use Dark Reader, but it's buggy on a lot of sites, and it's ridiculous for people to be making things with a white theme anyways. People who shine flashlights in their eyes are short-sighted self-destructive morons.
I think podcasts, audiobooks, and books are all information, and in general there are a huge number of purposes and formats and its a bit silly to treat any type of presentation as being specific to a particular purpose. Not everyone has the luxury to access information in their preferred format either.

For me what is often challenging is how much variation can go into the audio that can challenge my purpose, a dry or mechanical recitation of the text vs a skilled telling vs a full cast that is comprised of a huge variety of performers.

I absolutely do not know the process for aquifer formation, however:

* the ice age left immense amounts of water behind, including hidden under ground ice bergs that took thousands of years to thaw

* if you had a lake in a place, that sort of saturation would lead to an aquifer I think. Then the lake disappears, but the saturated ground remains, hidden from the air and sun, until drained
I meant that contract #1 is that when I, thread A, already have a lock held in shared mode, I can expect shared-acquires on thread B to succeed without my first giving up my shared lock. The problem that we're discussing here is that I, A, can ask for a shared lock but actually and unknowingly get an exclusive lock. There's no exclusive-acquire involved.

Dr Burns' Feeling Good Podcast has examples of listening to people, possibly not the same exact thing the parent comment means, but his T.E.A.M.S CBT therapy stands for "Testing, Empathy, ..." and Empathy is where the patient tells their problem, and the therapist has to communicate that they heard it and empathise with it. Otherwise if the therapist does a "yeah ok got that, let's move on" the patient will get stuck not wanting to move on and keep going back over what's wrong, thinking the therapist isn't properly understanding why they are there. [Happens in life elsewhere, e.g. if you complain to a company and get a generic 'sorry' and you feel like you haven't been heard and try complaining again. Whereas if you feel heard and understood, you don't need to try complaining again]. There's a ton of his podcasts and this comes up in many of them; some talking about it:

> "no, you're actually the criminal," justice is not giving equal time to both claims

It is if both sides are doing something criminal. Which…admittedly is happening. Your argument seems to be centered around “Even though voter fraud happens, it hasn’t affected anything yet, so we should ignore it in favor of this other thing which is more important to my side.”

That argument is akin to “even though my neighbor is a burglar, he hasn’t robbed my house yet, so there is no reason to lock my doors when I go away”
So you are arguing that companies should avoid using open source?
