> And part of this is because we've somehow ended up a with a community norm that it is mildly immoral to charge money for software.

I find this an interesting development, to be honest. People were outraged over Redis going "free unless you're a business", but the people who were affected the most were the people who have profited off Redis for ages. Every time a free product goes "pay us if we make you money", people get angry, but I rarely see the upset people start a fork with the old license.

I think the fact we're so used to "just" downloading dependency upon dependency plays a role. If one dependency asks five dollars per year, that's a no-brainer, but if the hundreds of dependencies that make up the modern software stack do, that becomes a problem.

I wish more people would buy and sell GPL/dual licensed software. GPL for the software freedom that open source once was all about, dual licensing for the companies that don't want to give their customers the freedom that comes with the GPL.

On the other hand, I also feel that switching to a profit oriented work isn't acceptable if you've accepted sizable contributions from the community. This is legally acceptable with a CLA or a license that permits most commercial use, but ethically difficult, unless you also pull every major contributor in with your licensing-for-money scheme.

In the end, I feel a lot of the protests and anger about selling (partially) open software comes from a sense of entitlement. I know "fork it if you don't like it" feels like a cop-out, but with how few maintained forks I see of software that caused controversy, I feel like a lot of this sentiment is people wanting other people to maintain important parts of their software for them.
Does this mean that the outside connector lacks 2.0?
> I don’t understand the reasons the person you replied to or you are making references to. You rather having to go print every little thing just because once a year you want it to be color? What most people print at home must be Amazon return labels

If you're returning a package you've got to go somewhere to drop off the package anyway, so may as well print the label there.

> some school papers and resumes which are all black and white. If you’re in college reading lots of papers with graphs in color you can easily print at school.

Again that sounds like like you're getting the worst of both worlds. If you're going to go to the trouble of getting a printer so you can print off papers, you want to be able to print off all your papers, not just the ones that don't have graphs in. If you're just going to print them at school why wouldn't you print them all at school including the black-and-white ones?

(FWIW a CV where I live is expected to have a colour photo embedded)
Intel NUCs (I didn't note what models) have these same issues and I suspected it was something to do with the USB3 ports interference
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the echo chess variant. It does show you at the end - there's like a progress bar with how many moves you got and what the best known number of moves is. Is it not displaying correctly on your end?
I'm so sad. This hilarious comment is languishing in the doldrums.

Everything already exists, which is no excuse for doing it again.
Dependencies are for the weak. You only need Python. Just support a range of versions if you intend to distribute.
And as a practical matter, Google sheets can export tsv. It didn't always have csv as an export (it does now). I've used Google sheets as a business friendly way to edit data for many years. With a little bit of instruction, this can work pretty well. Usually it just involves me telling people to not get creative with the column names and leave them alone.

This may shock some people but Excell and other MS Office products aren't that common any more to have around for developers. Through the nineties, MS had a defacto monopoly on desktop back in the day. But these days, a lot of developers use macs and they are also popular with business people. Google docs seems popular with startups. All companies I've been in for the last 12 years default to that.

Anyway, I've done this on a few teams where it just short cuts the whole discussion about needing a bespoke UI to edit some table of stuff for managers. I've even replaced a failed project to build such a UI with simple stuff like this. All you need is a bit of validation when importing and you can keep the last know good export in git and do pull requests to update the file. There's a weird dynamic where giving this level of control to some managers actually makes them feel more involved and engaged.

My preferred format to work with is actually ndjson (newline delimited json). Mainly because it's easier to deal with nested objects and lists in that. Whenever people start putting lists in table cells or start adding dots or other separators to their column names to indicate some kind of hierarcy, ndjson is the better solution. I've seen all sorts of attempts by business people to stuff non tabular data into a table.
Yes, exactly! I wonder why people use NVM when Volta exists.
you can't help wondering though...

That's true but at least we have a bit more to go on there (if not specifically about Lucy in the Sky) - I can't dig up the original reference but it's a famous enough story to paste from a random google search result:

Have you considered a 7950X3D? The larger CPU cache might make up for the RAM speed difference.
> So let me get this straight: Scientists would rather rename genes,
than to simply use a tool other than MS Excel?

It's not that they'd rather.

They understand that a trillion dollar corporation cannot supply the
most basic tool they need for work, despite trying for 40 years. They
just can't effect change. The real problem behind it all is that they
allow themselves to be bullied. Despite holding multiple PhDs they
cannot actually exercise rational choice.

The scientists work in an organisation where a suit called Kevin and a
middle aged lady in a cardigan called Mavis choose what software they
use. Kevin and Mavis are "IT experts".

Kevin and Mavis choose Microsoft because they think it is "reputable",
and they like the colours, and because HR have had "Microsoft Office"
as a mandatory hiring requirement since 1990.

Mostly though, they don't want to upset Colin who is head of IT, Colin
still thinks Windows XP was the best thing ever and goes a funny shade
of red when anyone mentions Linux (or anything else he doesn't
understand). Bless him, he's close to retirement anyway.

Meanwhile Tom the MD, whose "door is always open" invites the
scientists and engineers into a "consultation". They tell him that
Microsoft and Google offer 1990s solutions to twenty-first century
needs, that their products are unfit for purpose, unstable and
insecure too. They even produce a report of all the software they
need along with suppliers, budgets and installation guides. Colin has
gone a very worrying shade of purple.

Six months later the square root of fuck-all has happened. An
uncomfortale quiet hangs in the air. Someone nobody ever heard of
called Isabella, who actually works for "strategy and brand" in the
parent company - and is married to some Microsoft guy - over-rode the
whole thing.

Tom mumbles something about preferred suppliers and compliance. Kevin
and Mavis assure the scientists that Microsoft are going to fix
everything in the next update. Colin is restored to a smug pink.
Science will have to wait.

Big Tech is a complex cultural problem.
But "we", being the average tech expert, also has no way to know when that 1% will hit.

It takes only one creative genious to turn the next security issue into a thing that does affect us all. Some worm that eats all linuxes, a virus that spreads through all bsds or something that installs crypto miners on every second android or so. We cannot know.

And so we cannot defend ourselves against that. And so it's useless to worry about it. But it will happen. Our systems are way too monoculture, both soft- and hardware, to be protected against a digital potato famine.
They have Vulcan, which is cross-compatible.

And AMD has ROCm.
pytorch is standard and pytorch has ROCm support. And the Google TPU v5 also has pytorch support.

We do have a couple of H100's, but I'd love to replace them with AMD's
haha, that would've been so incredibly funny... if I was still 15 years old :)

maybe I'm growing old and grumpy, but at a state of affairs where active genocides are going on, I just find that immature and callous. By "that", maybe I mean Dutch attempts to humour ;)

>Presumably, in such a case, the transit police might be watching for that person

And how might these hypothetical "transit police" do so, at least in New York City?

There are 472 active subway stations spread across 36 subway lines and the trains run 24/7[0], carrying ~5,000,000 passengers per average weekday[1]. And since you can buy access tickets with cash or just evade the fare[2].

So, no. such a ban can't practically be enforced, but as I mentioned, it hasn't stopped some folks from trying...and failing.

Affinity as we know it is already dead. Canva is all about profit. Subscription model will be most likely be introduced in the next major version.
The fact that you need an atmosphere to keep your body from falling apart makes me question the idea that every trait is genetic.

Also regarding "cognitive function", we happen to have an awfully abundant intelligent population in this century. Coincidence, or do Europeans simply have better genes?

Since the environment isn't allowed to improve cognitive functions, we must go down the path of racism and facism. Great!
I print no more than a few times per year, but those times I do print it'd be really annoying not to be able to print. Inkjet simply doesn't work for that kind of use case, you have to be printing somewhat regularly for it to make any sense. Highly irregular printing patterns like this are better served by laser, because the toner doesn't go bad just because you haven't printed this month.
It makes me wonder what goes through someone's head when one sees a mass casualty event like this, and your first instinct is to rush to Wikipedia to change the article to past tense ('was' a bridge).

> So when I see a photograph of the Dolomites taken by a photographer who actually climbed them, waited for the light to be what they wanted, and spent effort, time, pain, and money to get that shot, I know that it is a piece of art — or at very least art was attempted.

This same opinion was probably had back when the camera was invented. Someone probably said, "when I see an oil painting of a man, I see hours of skills poured unto the canvas, trying to capture the subject's soul... what am I to make of a camera that just captures images with light?"

I see generative AI as the next stage in this creative process. From paintings, to camera, to moving pictures, and now AI. It will probably spark a new art movement just like the many that came before, and it's going to be completely different. My guess is that we're about to see the most surreal and at the same time photorealistic art ever created. There is going to be some crazy stuff coming because now the level of effort required has been shattered and experimenting will be the norm.

It's all art, and just like we still value a good oil painting, we will still value real photos and traditional film making.

Antirez (redis creator) has written a good post [1] detailing his thoughts on code comments where he identifies nine type of comments used in Redis.

What surprised me was the use of "guide comments" which most people dismiss as too trivial. I agree with Antirez conclusion that they are valuable to help the reader acknowledge their understanding of the code.

The series of events are more 'sketch' and smell worse than the OpenAI / Altman thing. This feels like a corporate war strike / competitor assassination. PI is AMAZING and its latest v2.5 model was only on the market for like a week before this shit went down.

Exactly. Creative Cloud launcher digs its greedy fingers deep in your system, running hundreds of processes and constantly phoning home. It’s the model I point to when people say they want alternate app stores. I would much rather download apps individually from the App Store, or at worst a dmg.
Well you might be wrong, but EDI in general and HL7 specifically allow 3 levels of "fields in fields in field".

As long as your parser copes, and as long as you have appropriate structures to import into, its no big deal.
Its value depends on how safe the games netcode is. I used to play an FPS game where the hits were client authoritative and hackers edited enemy positions and made them stand in a row in front of the hacker. Hacker could easily wipe the enemy team with that.
But that’s a good thing. Sane state would be synced to disk and any successful bitflip will halt a system telling you that something bad is going on. It would be “catastrophic” for runtime but not for the data
That explains why our university and college students are so poor. They must have low intelligence and emotional and mental health problems. Only the dumbest people make it in educational institutions. Or maybe it's because they immigrated from turkey...

Well this is already possible with cash (and some countries more than others have flourishing grey and black market economies where business is conducted with it)

So crypto only helps here if the service you're providing is over the internet, and not using an intermediary platform which is a legit business for payments, escrow, or service fulfillment tracking (so things like etsy, bandcamp, fiverr, and upwork are mostly out, though you sometimes can cut out the middleman on those platforms).

There are a few services people will still arrange outside of a platform, I think online sex work is a big one (also because people don't want things linked to their credit cards)

But it could also be useful in countries that are moving to ban cash
That might be a fact in theory, but practically most companies literally did "replace all" of "ML" with "AI" in all their marketing materials and ML-engineers got rebranded as AI-engineers. ML-models are now called AI-models. Because ML is old and busted and AI is the new hotness.
Nvidia's datacenter AI chips don't have raytracing or rasterization. Heck, for all we know the new blackwell chip is almost exclusively tensor cores. They gave no numbers for regular CUDA perf.
Have you tried Affinity? The software itself is a lot better than Adobe in many fundamentals. It’s faster, crashes less, supports a lot more file formats, connection between the individual programs is perfect, they add new quite innovative features at constant pace.

Adobe is pretty much legacy software that gets close to zero development, its ridden with bugs that will be never fixed.

The reason why everyone hates them is that last non subscription version Adobe CS6 from more than 10 years ago is pretty much the same thing what you get now even though users have been screaming for features and bugfixes. Adobe can have their cake and eat it too.
There is a lot of misinformation in the world, and Wikipedia can often be one of the places people go to for reliable knowledge.

A lot of people, potentially scared and confused, and going to be reading that article and making decisions based on it.

Hmm, valid concern but GLP1-RAs reduce fat (primarily) by better glycemic control and satiation.

Unless if you're on Ozempic until you literally dry out every single fat reserve in your body and your brain has to resort to breaking down the myelin sheaths (something that can happen in ultra long distance running, hence why hallucinations sometimes happen on 100+ mile runes), then the GLP1-RAs wouldn't be able to force the body to break down the fat in the brain.

To the best of my knowledge, GLP-1's have 0 direct impact on brain fat metabolism or myelin sheath breakdown.

Side note, GLP1 based therapies are being investigated for improving brain health and potentially helping prevent the development of neurodegenerative illnesses, potentially because of an anti inflammatory feedback mechanism it activates when its able to reach tissues outside the gut. (natural GLP1 is usually broken down ~5 min in the body after release)

Start as void*, current and/or end as size_t offsets from start is common.

The opposite way round works too, use a void* for end and current and/or end as offsets from that. 64 bit pointer and two 32 bit offsets might appeal on x64.

Without working through the arithmetic now I'd expect storing (size-current)=remaining instead of current to work well for the out of space check.

Of course it is still small in the scheme of things - Canva seems to have revenue of c$2bn - and seems to be owned by three individuals in their 50s so one can probably understand why they wanted to to sell.

Ugh. I've seen what happens with Canva's acquisitions once already, albeit at a much smaller scale: I used to use a free service for PowerPoint templates called SlidesCarnival[1]. Decent templates, very customizable, and generally significantly better than the PowerPoint defaults.

They also got bought out by Canva, and I've watched the quality drop massively- any new content is almost entirely unusable, often only available on Canva itself, and chock full of design tropes and poorly SEO-optimized content. (Some of them are so bad as to be unintentionally hilarious.) It's a real mess, and it makes me less than optimistic about them buying out Affinity.

To be fair, their model was wildly different from a fully-featured editing suite, and certainly welcomed this kind of change, but they absolutely gutted that site: the only positive is that the original templates are still there, if you search for them. I'm not holding my breath, but I expect the same treatment now. An absolute shame- I don't use a photo editor enough to warrant an Adobe subscription, so I'll probably stay on Affinity V2 until it stops working.
