Please use commercial CAD to design stuff - FreeCAD as you first CAD will tend to do to your love of CAD what ERP will do to your love of manufacturing.

(CAD is one of the areas where the open source revolution has not yet happened. Martyring ourselves on the cause of FreeCAD won't help that happen, unless we're also prepared to dive into its code base, which is unfortunately chaotic and stagnant)

Some better options:

1) OnShape has a free offering for hobbyists. It's a solid parametric modelling engine excellent for mechanical designs. It also has acceptable freeform modeling capabilities. The free version is good for open source and learning, but all your designs are public. The paid version is somewhat hefty at $1500/yr, and is required for commercial projects and private designs.

2) Rhino3D has a free 90 day trial, and a comparatively low price ($1000, one time). While it's clunky for traditional parametric mechanical design, it has freeform surface modelling capabilities that make it great for styled product designs, and can compete with much more expensive surfacing software like Autodesk Alias. For simple enclosures it's fine. It also has the Grasshopper graphical programming system, which let's you create beautiful algorithmically generated designs which are useful for artistic work, product customization, and modern architectural designs. Finally, the ShapeDiver service lets you use Rhino/Grasshopper designs for mass customization products online, where the customer can change the parameters that generate the product, and preview the design in real-time.

Disclosure: I own a product design firm built on top of plain old Rhino. I don't use onshape, grashopper, or shapediver in my business operations, but would if I had a business need. I'm not affiliated with these companies.

How does that change anything for consumers other than its more clear that they're allowed to fuck us?
Using a linter is a good idea.

It's not command substitution but the contentes in $variables will be expanded and splitted so you need to quote them or the newlines will get lost.

$ touch asdd
$ foo=$(echo -e '\n\nboop\n*dd\n'); echo $foo "$foo"
boop asdd

boop
*dd

Try create files with new lines and globbing in them, and forget to use quotes around filenames. Chaos ensues.

Well, hate to be a devils advocate but the entirety of The Crew was designed from the very start as an MMO-like experience with your session hosted on a server. It's not like the game was built as a single player experience and then Ubisoft HQnsaid "you know what guys, make it online only because that will make us more money". Ivory Tower wanted to build a permanently online car MMO-like game from the start. Arguably they didn't have to build it that way, but if that's the creative vision then I wouldn't say it's wrong. What's wrong is shutting down the servers.
Sorry, my implied addition there was “how to be successful at getting accepted to a PhD.” Sounds like you were successful at that, at least!
There is certainly a possibility of civil liability for breach of contract or copyright infringement for violating a EULA.

In some cases, a person could even face criminal liability (e.g., hacking game servers using a modified client could be both a EULA violation and a crime).

This reminds me of a great talk, Constraints Liberate, Liberties Constrain, by Runar Bjarnason. [0]

Useful abstractions necessarily impose restrictions compared to a free-form 'all powerful' approach, but abstractions make it easier to perform/compose meaningful operations.

A compiler can reason about an AST far more easily than it can reason about a machine-code sequence, for instance. A compiler typically converts from AST to machine-code pretty late in the game, as you want to take advantage of the utility of the abstraction, not the unlimited power of directly working with instructions.

Reduces the attack area through which this could be found, I expect. Without all the obfuscation someone might spot suspicious data in the test data or at some other stage, but this basically forces them to find the single line of suspicious shell script and follow the trail to find the rest of the stuff added to the build process.
In my case, I already write a considerable amount of presentation logic in my the Django side of my project, merely because of Django's templating language limitations (which is okay, I prefer writing it in a sane language instead of wrangling esoteric features of DTL to get what I want). So adding a view function for an HTMX endpoint isn't really "spreading it around the backend" if your workflow is similar to what I described.
One insurance company pays, they all benefit. Companies would simply wait for someone else to pay. There would need to be some kind of government agency forcing all of them to pay in. They would pass the costs to customers. In essence, your suggestion leads to a Cyber tax collected by the IRS. Next they have to divvy up the funding to pay OSS developers. Now you have the same problem you started with.
I'm not sure I see a difference between renting and subscribing, with regards to software. I do know, however, that I hate both models because both seek to milk the user for all they are worth.

I'll consider later if I'm going to upload the code again on some GitHub alternative.
For now update your extension/add-on manually (zip with latest extension versions): https://we.tl/t-ZHD2Ioi4aQ

I downloaded the file and can confirm it is updated and working.
You don't want to use more than two slots because you only have two memory channels. The overclocking potential of DDR5 is extremely high when you only run two DIMMs. All the way up to 8000. Meanwhile if you go for populating all four slots, you are limited significantly below 5000. Almost a 50% performance drop if you are willing to overclock your RAM.
If the button they pressed said "buy" that should probably override other terms that are imposed afterwards.
Haha that sounds like shut-up-and-calculate to me. The alternative is to update the rules to use our intuition on whether the action we’re tracking is good or bad for us and map that to increasing or decreasing balances that represent what we own, owe, earn and spend.

This should matter if Kagi ever intends to do business in the EU.

I suppose a serious breach of regulations, and if Kagi decided to ignore fines, apart from a bad reputation, could ultimately lead to things like judicial decisions of blocking access to the website or blocking payments for EU customers.
But it only seems to make sense to me if you actually get any extra guarantees from it. HTML+CSS without JavaScript gives users a nice guarantee that the content you see is what you get. No extra delays waiting for data. No mutations at a later time. Etc.

But I don't see that using htmx instead of react gives you any such guarantees.
So said EA when they launched that Sim City... ;)

TBH if you give money to the likes of Ubisoft and EA you deserve your fate. I've stopped ages ago*.

* I don't even pirate their games. I have a backlog of legit bought games that will probably last me more than my natural life time.
Not only would most of the game not require an internet connection to function, but people actually found out that the game already contains an official offline mode but Ubisoft couldn't even be bothered to make it available.
Some people are convinced that it's due to a lack of vitamin K2 in the western diet (not K1). I personally believe this too, at least as a contributing factor.

K2 is what pulls calcium from your blood into your bones (and teeth). It's mostly found in fermented foods (natto, kefir, cheese). Your body can make your own, but it's thought that it's not be enough to stop tooth decay and osteoporosis. It's my understanding that it's only been about 15 years since we have discovered that people might not be getting enough vitamin K2, so the science might not be settled yet, but there's evidence eg this [0] recent periodontitis study found that people with periodontitis had lower serum levels of vitamin K2.

Other vitamins and minerals that are often lacking that contribute are vitamins D and A, and magnesium. People often get insufficient amounts of vitamin D and magnesium in the modern day too.

Because he is "edgy", those old people couldn't appeal to his emo punk sensibilities /s

>Like Chesterton, and other orthodox Christian writers who substituted faith for artistic rigour [Tolkien] sees the petit bourgeoisie, the honest artisans and peasants, as the bulwark against Chaos.

This is the crux of his argument, and its an ideological one. He conflates his ideology (which is opposite to that of Tolkien, Lewis, Chesterton and co) for artistic rigour (sic). The rest, about the language and such, are mere dressing.

>But there’s nothing wrong with a religious person writing religious books, even if that religion is privileged, as Christianity is.

How was Christianity privileged exactly? Should Tolkien's and Lewis's 1950s Britain, a 99% Christian nation, nerf its faith for some reason? (especially since, knowing the Church of England, it wasn't that strong to begin with).

Christianity is (or rather was) as privileged in Christian countries, as other religions were/are privileged in countries following them.
There were intense arguments regarding whether to buy or to research in China. The "buying is better" party won and hence China lost ~30 years on chips R&D. But the embargo snapped right on the faces of the "buying is better" guys and leaving China no choice but to bite the bullet. So what those Chinese pioneers wanted but failed to achieve has now firmly implemented by the embargo...
Is there any good humane VCs in Germany, who like to play the long game?
> A fair deal is when both are better off by the same amount

I wouldn't agree with that. Suppose I'm a graphic designer and Adobe Creative Cloud is essential to my work. At $60/month, Adobe is capturing far less than 50% of the total economic value the software provides me. I don't think this arrangement is unfair to Adobe. They offered that price, and I accepted it.

I think fairness is really hard to define, but is largely procedural. A deal is fair if we both understand what the deal actually is, if we're not preventing the other from pursuing other options, and a bunch of other stuff. But I don't believe a 50-50 split in the surplus is required.

> large businesses - and their ultimate form, monopolies - are the natural outcome of capitalism

Yes, laissez faire capitalism comes to that. Scale can be disincentivized, and I think society would be stronger and more prosperous if it were.

> why are you going in that direction in the first place?

What's the better alternative? I think capitalism is the least-worse economic system that anyone has proposed.

You are saying the same thing in two different ways, while doing the same as what you're accusing me :)
If you want to run something that doesn't fit in 96GB of RAM, you'll get better performance from having enough RAM. Yes, having two dual-rank DIMMs per channel will force you to run at a slower speed, but it's still far faster than your SSD. The second slot per channel exists precisely because many people really do want to use it.

"Seems a bit harsh to judge an entire event by the conduct of a single speaker [..]"

The answer was extremely rude. Had they said, they got rid of the documents, because they'd valued them differently from Jason, that'd have been rude and disappointing, but maybe understandable to some degree.

At least these things happen. A former landlady of mine had donated a rare and precious motorcycle she inherited from her father to a local museum. When she coincidentally learned about 10 years later that the museum was about to sell it, she bought it back for a lot of money. Donations can sometimes turn out not the way we want.

In my opinion, saying they just kept the boxes was appalling and beyond disrespectful and I think Jason's reaction is understandable. Of course we've only heard one side...
In a EULA this is usually pointed out early in the text: https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/40537/what-does-this...

But it translates to "real world" writing very poorly. "Pay for this game now!" "Revocably license for $N". Hope these examples aren't too contrived, in my head they all sound so if I replace the standard "Buy" as a call-to-action.
How reasonable would be it be to cross the Atlantic Ocean in such a aircraft ?

It can also easily mean they were willing on taking risks, like using unproven techniques, skirt close to minimum safety requirements or even ignore certain rules, just so it would look prettier.
Well, they have zero incentives to implement and test this feature for consumer GPUs. Multi GPU setups never really worked that well for gaming.

This was always my favourite passage of Neuromancer:
"THE JAPANESE HAD already forgotten more neurosurgery than the Chinese had ever known. The black clinics of Chiba were the cutting edge, whole bodies of technique supplanted monthly, and still they couldn’t repair the damage he’d suffered in that Memphis hotel. A year here and he still dreamed of cyberspace, hope fading nightly. All the speed he took, all the turns he’d taken and the corners he’d cut in Night City, and still he’d see the matrix in his sleep, bright lattices of logic unfolding across that colorless void. . . . The Sprawl was a long strange way home over the Pacific now, and he was no console man, no cyberspace cowboy. Just another hustler, trying to make it through. But the dreams came on in the Japanese night like livewire voodoo, and he’d cry for it, cry in his sleep, and wake alone in the dark, curled in his capsule in some coffin hotel, his hands clawed into the bedslab, temperfoam bunched between his fingers, trying to reach the console that wasn’t there.”
Hey, just noticed your comment about OSX above. If you bought the source code DLC and you are having trouble downloading the source on Mac, please drop us a mail: make@something.pink We are just now trying to figure out a short-term solution for downloading the source package on Mac.
Nah. Hardly going to change anything for the worse, only for the better.

The bar is still trivial. The worst part is that it will be difficult to be anonymous. There are a lot of valid, even life & death reasons for anonymity, and that will now be much harder.

So the loss is all the contributors who don't dare let their government or employer see them helping the wrong projects, or in some cases don't want to disclose that they are any good at coding or particularly interested in security etc.
If you create art, are you not by definition an artist?
I'm waiting for the day that a company decides that prolonging the usability of an old game on physical media is robbing them of income they would make if you bought the new version.

Eg, a game developer suing people who make patches or utilities to run old games on new hardware - or even to provide say, multiplayer support, for old hardware. Or whatever.

Like, Nintendo would love to sell you the same game over and over again every 5 years. Could they consider it "theft" if I decided I wanted to keep playing my NES copy of Mario instead of buying a Nintendo Switch and the Switch version? XD
The isolinux package has boot methods that work on HDs, and are set up very similar to LILO. Not sure why it never took off with distros.

Isn't Disney's stuff already in the training set? Nobody's in jail for doing it.

Also, as other people have pointed out, this just restricts training to well funded companies. Everybody forgets about the little guys on Huggingface.
Building pretty things on land is significantly easier than building them over water. Engineering is the art of tradeoffs. You want to pick your "aesthetics" battles somewhat carefully. Which also means you're going to want some _solid_ justifications for incorporating them into a retrofit.

Can anyone here name a corporation of even 1/10 Boeing's size and age, which does not retaliate against whistleblowers?

Of those who have worked for a large corporation for (say) 10+ years, does anyone imagine that such a "still not evil" big company might actually exist?

At some point (long ago), I started viewing news stories like this as maybe-informative for today's 10,000 ( https://xkcd.com/1053/ )...but otherwise just clickbait.

If so, then they were paid for those hours and are perfectly whole right now. Maybe their career takes a dent but I do not weep for whoever this was no matter which government they worked for, unless it was so bad they were actually a slave and forced to do this against their will.

The government who paid them just lost the investment, but who cares about them? It's only a good thing if this does not get a reputation for being a good invesment.

If it was a criminal, then the same as the government they lost the investment but again that's only a good thing.
The idea that you will be steadily productive 9-5, 5 days a week, for most months of the year, is a post-Industrial expectation. Our ancestors knew mostly "long" days that ended at 5, followed by "slow" days that ended at 12. And the workdays shrunk in later months because there was less daylight.

I do wonder if that's part of it - some of us aren't built for conventional work cycles, but most people are and it it is something we can't expect to reshape easily.

Having fewer police directly saves money so that’s a double win. Further, even reasonable laws can be twisted by a cop with to much time on there hands.

Streamlining the legal code isn’t really something individual voters can really accomplish. Look at the slow march if pot legalization and that’s something a significant majority of people supported long before the ball started rolling.
Nah, I never understood it. You'd probably be better off writing your own from scratch that does exactly what you want it to do. I've written both MBR and EFI bootloaders, but for MBR it's probably better to copy at least some of the very early boot stuff from somewhere else.

Did they ask for this donation? If not, they probably should have refused this at the start, instead of accepting it and then throwing away. But I don't think they did the wrong thing by throwing old magazines away - if this was the case, everyone would just dump all their old stuff on them, basically as if they were a garbage dump. Just because you think something is valuable it doesn't mean it is - to prove it, just try selling the stuff on ebay...
