Yeah, it might be easier with digital, but once Mickey Mouse gets drawn and becomes popular, drawing him again is super easy for the random artist who can say it is "theirs" and draft off of the millions of dollars Disney spent marketing. Hence the need for copyright.
Yeah, can say from recent experience this just adds _more_ steps and opportunities to ghost for a couple weeks, get another vague email, ghost for a couple weeks...took me about 3 months to get it all going.

The DUNS stuff was pretty funny. All flows related to getting an ID have a big "Are you doing Apple dev stuff?" button. It's like Apple outsourced support to them. Apple's DUNS lookup tool saw my business and the correct DUNS number, but trying to register with it got an error...eventually dissipated after a couple weeks. Same story for registering an account in the first place: it refused to register james@tld.com, where tld is a Google Workspace account, with no discernable error. Again, dissipated after 3 weeks, thankfully.
What would happen if you send them a realistic, but fake generated scan?

> "So you want to scrape like the unethical boys?"

What's considered ethical is a very debated topic.

An assertion that something is simply "unethical" should be seen as the starting point of a discussion, not as a self-evident fact.
Let me introduce you to a little dopamine imbalance I like to call "focus control disorder", better known as Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder.

Think of it like having a preemptive multitasking scheduler that is unable to keep track of the state of the previous task.
Would be really cool if you could omit the x, y coordinates and it would place a reasonable layout for the schematics and footprints.
I have a similar feeling when I bring friends to places I spent lots of time, but which have now been completely transformed by redevelopment. I can walk through and visualize my old surroundings as if they were still there, but I just can't convey them to others who are visiting to the first time. The best I can do is show old google maps photos.

Hardware choice being limited is a problem Linux has. You are defensive about it not being Linux’ fault, but the point is that users generally don’t care whose fault it is.

I’m a Linux user, by the way; but only on my servers.
XWayland works just fine for applications; accessibility/automation tools and the like are a different story. (Ex. Want to write a script that finds a specific window and sends it keypresses? You're going to use X. Want to watch which window is focused to implement per-application keyboard layouts? X. Actually, want to set the keyboard layout dynamically at all on arbitrary window managers? Somehow Wayland doesn't do that. Once I almost started using a Wayland compositor, until I discovered that it didn't actually hook up the wlroots functions for setting keyboard layout; in X setxkbmap works everywhere.)
> So who do you think managed to stuff $22 billion

Well congress ultimately, but as far as actual influence? Maybe start with: Labor unions, manufacturers throughout the supply chain, maintenance vendors - you know entities with actual money and financial interests. Also, local constituents and representatives where the train service happens to go, like it or not the train service is hugely important to the chamber of commerce in general of a place like Syracuse for instance where an air carrier just pulled out and one of those destinations is Chicago - it matters not much from optics that the journey takes longer than 100 years ago. The idea that the “train geeks” have anything measurable to do with it doesn’t pass any smell test. Moreover, the companies and organizations that are involved and do exist don’t magically disappear in any imagined privatization future. I also have a hard time believing that a motley bunch of train geeks somehow has any pull over the ReDUcE GoVERNmENT SpENDInG crowd.

> We could privatize Amtrak next year and they could follow that same business plan

The NEC corridor still needs billions of dollars of upgrades and maintenance. Again that is something that the public sector has almost invariably footed the bill on.

As for your initial thesis in this comment, it’s straight up garbage that has been discussed to death, and you have to assume I’m an uninformed moron to believe it uncritically.
I’m not going to repeat this:
https://viewfromthewing.com/amtrak-is-lying-they-are-nowhere...

The NEC is profitable if you hand wave away most of the costs like maintenance, and the infrastructure so the those brand new trains they just bought (the $10 billion spend just after Mr Andersons tenure, so as not to derail your narrative) can go more than 80mph (there are still major chunks north of NYC that can’t manage that).

I believe you are being willfully disingenuous so will not continue this conversation further.
I don't care if you use Web scraping to solve the Israeli / Palestinian conflict. You're not entitled to anyone's data, computers, services, etc because you've decided for altruistic reasons that it is appropriate.

Cool use case. Love it. Fascinating stuff. But if Google told you to stop, would you? Or would you instead decide to build a 5 server cluster of 200 4G modems spread across continents to continue your work? Because if you did I would assume that you've decided to move on from a cute little altruistic process into a commercial use of someone else's data to make a profit.

The implication is as clearly true as such things could be.

The barrier to interstellar travel is largely economic(*). The resources needed to construct star-spanning structures are many orders of magnitude greater than needed to construct and launch a starship (or a laser with an aperture capable of projecting a beam to interstellar distances).

I think this analogy would be improved if the sign said "Please don't take any pictures." This is far more restrictive than a sign saying "Please don't take any seeds or cuttings." The latter is more understandable because such activity damages the flower garden (particularly if everyone starts taking seeds and cuttings).

Now let's say a photographer visits the flower garden, takes images, and sells them online as post cards? As long as the photographer is not hindering other people (flooding the site with repeat requests, in the analogy), it doesn't seem to be a problem.

On the other hand, let's say we don't have a flower garden, we have an art gallery or a street artist's display - or the pages of a recently published book. Now the issue is distributing copyrighted material without paying the creator... but what if there's a broad social consensus that copyright is out of control and should have been radically shortened decades ago?

The vast majority of data being scraped is not copyrightable creative work, however, so as long as you're not obnoxiously hammering a site, scraping seems perfectly ethical.

Hubris isn't a general-purpose OS, it runs on a low-level processor inside the Oxide server rack. I believe Hubris doesn't even allow new kinds of processes at runtime; all possible executables must be determined at compile time.

Unfortunately, these 'common symptoms' often do not occur after an infection, so this is misleading. In never had them but was positive for Lyme after dealing with joint pain for quite a while. Taking a single dose of Doxy is usually recommended if you live in an area with high prevalence of Lyme in ticks [1], and if the tick was not cleanly removed within 24h. The latest meta study I'm aware of showed that this will reduce the likelihood of infection by about 70% [2].

The fear of breeding a MR Borrelia is completely overblown. By far the highest risk of breeding MRSA are in a hospital setting, not by taking a single dose of Doxy at home. The main reason to not take Doxy is its side effects (for instance, when I had to take it against my Lyme infection, I vomited like there's no tomorrow, which fortunately is one of the lesser serious side effects. Had to switch to Amoxi.).

"eg the tick could have been on me all day"

Well, that's a problem. If it's only been one day, they aren't going to give it to you. It's only supposed to be past 72 hours. Of course they're not going to listen and they'll argue if you're pushing something beyond the guidelines. If you frame it differently, like you don't know if it's been on there for days, then they're more likely to work with you.

I've actually had a similar tick issue for a child. There was no way of knowing for sure how long it was attached until tested in the lab. The doctor was still willing to prescribe the doxycycline when we explained the situation. There's also a state lab that will test ticks and give a report on whether the tick tests positive for about a half dozen diseases and also tell you how long it was attached. The doctor's lab could only test the tick for Lyme. He was genuinely interested in learning about this other lab from me even though I was not a medical professional.
Interesting malls that disappeared before the Web left less digital trace:

https://tanasbournemall.blogspot.com/2011/12/tanasbourne-mal...

As a kid, riding on the freeway to grandma's, I'd always wonder what that weird building with the futuristic windows in the distance was. Later, as a teen, working out near there, I learned it was a mall, but already mostly closed down, except for the Chang's Mongolian Grill.

Thankfully, someone went to the trouble to retroactively put some information about it on the Web.
Every service I run for all time will be exclusively ipv4. Ipv6 gets a heckler's veto from me for trying to do too much.

Give me an addressing scheme and absolutely NOTHING ELSE - just like IPv4 - and I'll consider it. IPv6 does an order of magnitude more than just this one thing, and therefore is too complex to be a replacement as it adds a bunch of anti-features that I don't want anywhere near any of my networks for any reason ever.

I am a permanent rejecter of all ipv6, both as a client and a server.

For every downvote this post gets, I'm going to increase the number of sockpuppet acconts I automate in my crusade against ipv6 in all public forums by 1 order of magnitude. Each downvote will multiply the number of voices standing in opposition to your own desired outcome coming from my system by ten.

Don't like it? Propose a better standard that fixes the address space problem without adding layers of shit on top of it next time.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to each for lunch, and for this particular subject, I can (and will) make more virtual anti-ipv6 wolves than there are pro-ipv6 sheep that are real humans.

Don't like that? Demand a better governance system than democracy.
There’s also the bigger issue your directly exposing an email address to web scrapers like it’s not the 90s using mailto forms is a shocking take as acceptable
Yes, there is no legal enforcement mechanism behind robots.txt. Nor do I particularly want there to be. However, most people agree that reasonable requests made regarding the use of someone's property should be followed. The capability to do something without consequences is not the same as the right to do something.

> If the contribution is misguided or not good, it's their responsibility to reject it.

Arguably, they do not have a responsibility to even look at it. They definitely do not have a responsibility to accept/reject it.

All good rules fail when confronted with constraints. If a maintainer had infinite time and resources, your advice is good. Because they don't, utilizing heuristics is necessary. What the author is hinting at is being clear about turning away people seeking to boost their resume is a useful heuristic.

Same reason why employers reject people whose main goal of joining the company is to boost their resume.

If I'm an open source maintainer and I feel the contributor is an annoying twit, I find no problems in ignoring him altogether (i.e. implicitly rejecting his contributions). If you want to be an intermediary and take the time to judge his contributions, and report to me which ones are worth my time, I'll be happy to have you do it.

You see names written in Chinese and English everywhere in the USA? Or did you mean something else? Because if that's what you meant to say, that is absolutely not how things are "everywhere in the USA".
What's the point? I really wanted to meet one guy I met on X so I did it.
Like I said, most people don't need more than a "town car". The average American commute is 42 miles per day (~68km in regular units).

You can drive that far at -40C with pretty much even the most beat down first gen Nissan Leaf with an original battery.

And if you can charge at home (like you should if you own an EV), the battery will be at 100% every single morning. So you'll spend around 15 seconds plugging the car in the charger when you come home and 7.8 seconds taking it off the charger.

And with all the money you save on gas by using electricity for commuting, you can buy a huge Mad Max style ICE with 500 gallon tanks you can use to drive coast to coast without stopping to refuel once :D

You create one on your iPhone and another "backup" key from a desktop PC running some open source software. If your iPhone breaks you can always use the other.

I’m really mixed on this. Anti bot stuff is increasingly a pain point for security research. Working in this space, I have to work against these systems.

Threat actors use Cloudflare and other services to gate their payloads. That’s a problem for our customers who are trying to find/detect things like brand impersonation and credential phish. Cloudflare has been completely unhelpful. They just don’t care.
Ding ding ding. IPv6 doesn't solve this problem either because not all malicious activity from a given IP address is guaranteed to be conducted with the knowledge or consent of the folks paying for the connection anyway.

There should only ever be discrimination against traffic, not against addresses. Addresses should not be presumed to be fixed, and it should therefore never be assumed that seeing the same client IP twice means it's the same end user.

Yes, almost all US cities have at least a couple grocery stores that stock imported products and have signage in multiple languages. most common is Chinese or general “Asian” but larger cities have more specific stores that specialize further on Korean, Vietnamese, etc.
If you rely on one for anything professional you know what's so terrible about a Micro SD slot.

Even pro DSLR camera bodies using top of the line Micro SD tend to fail, that's why they come with two slots that you write to in parallel.

// Also, iPhones since getting rid of SIM tray work after days to weeks under fresh or even salt water. That's harder to pull off with slots. More people need their phone to keep working after dropped in water than really need a MicroSD slot.

Yeah the reconciler docs were even worse when I was working with it, I had to ask the team to help with better docs or code pointers.

Makes sense to keep the boundaries between the different libs, but was just mentioning that single repo makes dev work much simpler from my experience (lib boundaries still enforceable with CI or tooling), but obviously there's a bunch of work to get that setup too so might not be super important at the moment.

Looking forward to see where this goes! Also, I think using an LLM to generate components from specs is an interesting idea as you mentioned in a different comment is a great idea to try out too.
Looking at the PR, it's not 100% obvious that's how it would render. https://github.com/fharper/coffeechat/pull/43/commits/4f948b.... The intent might be "CEO at RequestMechanic, Technical Writer at GitHub".

On the other hand, if he did realize that this innocuous looking json update would render as CEO of GitHub, I'm not sure I hate it. I think people offering their time to chat with others is great, but I'm not a fan of this type of aggregation. If this makes it look sillier, maybe that's ok?

Internet usage and content creation are increasing, not decreasing.

I continue to publish comments, code, and images that presumably get used to train models. My incentive hasn't been destroyed.

> rent-seeking

Supply and demand set the prices.

Subscription services provide value and continue to invest in their product, catalog, and/or service. Property owners handle asset ownership and upkeep problems at scale.

Inefficiencies will be met with competition, and businesses not providing value will be out-competed.

Data under-availability is an inefficiency holding us back from bigger and better things.
I live in Texas, and have lived in California and New York. In all three of these places the areas with a large Chinese presence will have stores with names in both Chinese and English.

This is absolutely common in the US in pretty much any large city, I can't imagine someone having never seen this before in the US unless they never lived or went to an area that was diverse. And its not just Chinese, many places will have Korean names, Japanese names, and of course on the other end Spanish names accompanied by english but most are more used to this.

If I say "I don't care about safety, I care about expressiveness. Which is Rust's model"... "which" has to refer to one of the other things I just mentioned (safety or expressiveness) not some other concept.
It's common in Canada for ethnic malls and stores whose proprietors and customers are mostly first- and second-generation immigrants, that they'd have signage in their own language. There's no rule enforcing it and no rule against it, except maybe in Quebec.
Forgive my misspelling, I have a cold.
That is significantly dependent on the software architecture. MariaDB's design is not particularly modern (not a knock against MariaDB, it is an older system) and employs none of the software architecture required for high-scale and high-performance kernels that, as a side-effect, makes it difficult to accidentally create the conditions for a segfault regardless of the language. The design motivation is actually optimal dynamic resource scheduling under heavy unpredictable workloads, not memory safety. Rust's borrow checker doesn't work with these memory models, so you'll be in the same boat as C++ regardless.

I always found it theoretically interesting that schedule-based safety architectures, which are focused more on optimal resource allocation than safety per se (its all about extreme throughput traditionally), asymptotically converge on memory safety too as a practical matter for the same reason they also require almost no locking. By doing the safety analysis (many kinds, not just memory) at runtime, tiny dynamic modifications to the execution schedule are sufficient to provably (using TLA+ and similar) avoid many types of "unsafety" without the design compromises required to enable some of this analysis at compile-time. It requires a non-traditional software architecture, and it doesn't play nicely with a lot of existing code, due to the level of execution control required but I see more and more systems being designed this way at the high-end of the data infrastructure market.
