> bespoke package for my needs would be amazing

When your business is a reasonable size, you'd be surprised what kind of service you receive.

> If I ask... the answer is a lie.

Which company actually did this to you? If that happened, it would be a breach of contract.

At this point you've said some things that lead me to believe that you haven't actually had any experience whatsoever working out a contract with a SaaS account executive, so I'm going to respectfully back out of this thread.
The same with Wav files.
Congrats on the release! I am always looking for server management tools, as I still haven't found a good enough one (most of them are too complex, too hard to install, break over time, etc.)

Is the open-source version completely functional?

If not, what permissions will the tracking scripts get? I don't feel comfortable giving access to all my servers to a single entity.
Why not use the resynthesizer plugin? https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer

I haven't used it for a while because stable diffusion is much more powerful, but resynthesizer is pretty good for many kinds of uses.
Well, but what you do with Bash can be also done with vanilla Ruby...
> They aren't paying for the unpackaged raw product

Nobody is offering them the unpackaged raw product, at least not for creators that work through the big media companies, so it's impossible to know whether they would pay for it if it were offered by the big media companies, and if so, how much they would pay. Some creators do sell direct to customers over the Internet, or make a living through Patreon contributions or something similar, so the package the big media companies are selling is not the only thing customers are buying.

However, it's certainly true that the big media companies do have advantages that they are making full use of. As I said in my original post in this subthread, the only way for creators who don't like the small cut they are getting from the big media companies and want more of the profit for themselves is to do their own distribution instead of doing it through the big media companies. Some are doing that, as I said above, but not many.

Whenever I see a comment that talks about programming with the uppercased "S" in "Typescript", "Javascript", "Clojurescript", my immediate guess is that the person used LLM , at least for spellchecking and improving the original text. I predict that soon, LLMs would learn to make tiny, insignificant mistakes, to sound "more human" in writing.
Sure. At least, I've never been able to do this.

That doesn't mean I can't recognise people when I see them, though that can sometimes be a struggle. It's just that I can't (or don't) "picture" them later.

I've never considered it a problem. For a start, because I've no clear idea of what I look like, either, I've never had to worry much about that. Slightly more strangely, and it took me a long while to realise this, I've never taken or collected family photographs; I've managed to remember who my relatives are perfectly well without having to get them to pose, yet it's my relatives who think that's odd.

If there is a downside, it's that I'd make a terrible witness. But I have a feeling that most witnesses are fairly terrible, it's just that most of them don't know it. As you said, we all experience things in unique ways, and that's only a problem if we forget it.

Which is largely why I don't care for "aphantasia" as a label. It's like having a word for people who don't dream in music or visualise mathematical functions; it'd include so many, that it'd serve no purpose.

> If you want actual security, you have to go for a challenge-response scheme

Another option is to just store used UIDs in a database. In fact, you could do a system with only UIDs. For a single use ticket, validate the UID signature and mark it as spent the first time it is used, then every use after that will be denied.

A card can be cloned, and it will work, once, it means one could steal a ticket by walking by and using appropriate equipment (not just a Flipper Zero as it is too short ranged) and use it before the legitimate owner does. I don't think it is something to worry about for a single use subway ticket.

To improve security for multi-use tickets, one could use rolling codes: every time a ticket is scanned and its UID validated, some code is read from the NFC memory and it has to match a sequence, the next code is then written back to memory and has to be provided next time, invalidating any clone. Tickets can still be stolen, but you can't beat the system unless you crack the server-side encryption.

More valuable tickets like commuter passes can use a different system with a challenge-response scheme.
You do still see it though; a bunch of the core infrastructure packages in ROS depend on this grab bag of utilities related to console capture, cli, and colouring:

This is the worst part, I think. Rail and aircraft are at least predictable and, presumably, no louder than they have to be. But all it takes is one asshole with a loud car or motorbike and hundreds or even thousands of people are disturbed. Why are these bastards allowed to continue with ever louder motors? How do people live with it? Do they not realise that it could be quiet? This is something we could choose to have quite easily.

I'm not familiar about the Nike or the Keurig issue. I can't find a reference to sales results but I guess the demographics of Nike is woke people so they can afford to do that.

Budweiser and Gillette screwed up massively, probably because of wrong assumptions of their customer base. Like all large companies of office workers, they seem to drift left internally and right wing / libertarian people just shut up not to get fired. This of course creates a belief that everywhere is "progressive" and marketing people feel empowered to pull these stunts.
I forget the region, but by way of example:

My understanding is that in the UK, the NHS is underfunded by taxes and therefore the hospitals do accept charitable support, but also very few people have private insurance on top of the HNS and the NHS hospitals will treat you no matter the cause.
The "no" in this context is addressing whether cultured meat will ever be economically viable at scale, not just scientifically possible. The article suggests a compelling argument against this viability, in that the breakthroughs needed for commercially viable cultured meat would also revolutionize the far more lucrative pharmaceutical industry. The fact that these advances haven't been achieved in pharma, despite massive financial incentives and decades of research, is strong evidence of their fundamental difficulty or impracticality.

For instance, even the most efficient cell lines used in pharmaceuticals aren't efficient enough for low-cost production of bulk cell mass. This implies cultured meat companies are attempting to solve problems that have long eluded a much larger, better-funded industry. The absence of these breakthroughs in pharma, where the financial rewards would be enormous, suggests they may be fundamentally unattainable with foreseeable technology.
Well, one reason the analogy is bad is the HVAC industry does not have the luxury of copyright in the first place. They have to rely on patents and trade secrets. The whole GPL concept is hinged on and is a hack on copyright and would be rendered moot absent copyright.

As a practical matter, it's hard to come by software that comes as a freely licensed binary but lacks source code. I'm blanking out on coming up with even a single example.

Re the ability of "study and modify" it does not have to be universal obviously. If a subset of community can do so the rest can benefit by their improvements passively, asking their help or contracting them.

I find your use of language here very confusing.

> the ever increasingly "cable TV" nature of the internet

But you don't have to use those particular Internet channels in order to use the Internet. The Internet carries lots of other traffic. One of the nice things about the Internet as compared with previous communication media is how easy it is to just ignore what you don't like.

> as well as the scientifically demonstrated negative effects of social media

Those effects have been around as long as humans have, and pandering to the worst instincts of people has always been a way for cheap grifters to gain money and notoriety. But it only works because people choose to give in to those worst instincts. You can't fix human nature by discarding useful tools because some people misuse them.
Given Ruby's lackluster type system, the amount of assumptions a compiler can take is significantly reduced. Moreover, analyzing that at a simple IR level would prevent it from understanding of what is actually referenced vs what isn't without making compile times take eternity and performing complex flow analysis with simulation.

Even with a good type system, a trimmer/linker has to be enlightened of many special idioms and patterns and perform flow analysis, and in the case of dynamically typed languages or languages with reflection - to analyze reachability of reflectable members and trim otherwise spaceous metadata. It took significant amount of work in .NET's ILLink in order for it to be able to produce as compact binaries/libraries as it does today with .NET's AOT build target, and it still required a degree of metdata compression and dehydration of pointer-rich data structures (something which, funnily enough, Go doesn't do, resulting in worse binary size).
>About your second point, you name it as "fact" that too much red meat is problematic.

Too much red meat is tautologically problematic, because too much of anything (including water) is problematic :). I'm not a dietician so I don't have opinion on this, but I was thinking mostly of a common western diet full of highly-processed, highly fat and overly salty meats.
I don't agree with this claim. It is only intuitive on the surface.
But growth in trees does not slow down as they get older. It actually accelerates. This article corroborates that: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12914

Sickness and bad conditions usually slow growth down.

In tree farms almost all the trees are in bad condition. The low biodiversity creates a low quality environment. They catch fire very easily. It's low quality wood that ends up in a landfill (and then in the air via rotting) within a few decades.

Eventually a tree will get sick and die. The most ideal situation would be to harvest the tree when it's dead. I would think there could be a businessmodel that maps dead trees and extracts them from forrests for high quality old growth wood.

This is not about "stubborn environmentalism". Although I do agree with you that some environmentalist ideas are a bit short sighted (like dismissing all nuclear options without weighing the properly), it is generally based in science and research. The anti-environmentalist side are usually mostly based in money and corporate interests...
Romans have used tickets before AD, guy at the gate checked it without any contact
From the Barcelona study linked in the article:

"Conclusions
We observed that exposure to road traffic noise at school, but not at home, was associated with slower development of working memory, complex working memory, and attention in schoolchildren over 1 year. Associations with noise fluctuation indicators were more evident than with average noise levels in classrooms."

So, at the very least, the title of the original article does not seem justified. In fact the whole article comes off like a bad internet argument, tons of links that aren't understood, and the whole thing is designed to reach a pretermined conclusion, which is, of course:

"Car-free zones
The best way to protect children from excessive noise is by reducing traffic around schools, says Foraster. "

I mean. Why not just sound proof class rooms? Seems way easier than entirely reengineering traffic in a dense urban environment. This really feels like "think of the kids!" now applied to traffic.

>You don't just copy the binary on windows. You copy the binary and its dependencies. Unless it's based on .Net-framework, then yeah, you still care about it being updated through windows.

Sure, but I can install s/w built for Windows XP into Windows 11 and it will just run 20 years later w/o modification - And I can do this with a large amount of commercial software, so its not a special case example which you can demonstrate on any OS. Simply not possible on any other desktop OS. Even if you have the source (which you won't for commercial s/w), its not just a simple recompile after 20 years.

>You don't need to use dependencies from the system. If you're compiling yourself, you can either make them static, or use your custom location. In either case, there are no conflicts to deal with

Makes me appreciate Java more.

Garbage collection is a key property of Java, JavaScript, Python and many other managed languages where you can mash 100-1000 libraries into an application and it (eventually) works. Key to that is that you don't have to think about where you get memory from or having to dispose of it later.

Consider how bad it is in C, where you'd often like to be able to have the library use a buffer from the application but possibly the library will malloc complex data structures and you'd like to be able to give it the malloc for your arena allocator. Sometimes the library does not know if the application still needs a data structure, other times the application doesn't know if the library still needs it.

I am glad the garbage collector knows! It's an example of how externalizing a concern eliminates so many concerns you'd have otherwise distributed throughout the code, and if your GC is generational you're getting much of the benefit of the arena collector.

Rust externalizes these conflicts which, as I understand it, means that libraries and applications are going to have to pick and choose particular conventions which could be a "just works" experience when things are aligned but it will get harder going if you want to bring in libraries that use different conventions.
Great idea! And if for some reason you feel like your filenames should stay as they are (without a comma), you could just add symlinks to all executable files in your bin directory:

$ for x in $(find . -type f -perm /a=x -exec basename {} \;) ; do ln -s $x ,$x ; done

Oh OK, that's quite cunning, and relevant to the article, where Monet is painting a sunset but the scene in front of him is copied from the painting, and so the sun emits no light and has no glare and hangs in the sky like a levitating egg yolk. Perhaps impasto on the sun could help there (perhaps it does, on the real painting).
Although a lot of the comments so far refer to charitable fundraising, this story is about political fundraising, often confusingly similar to charities; e.g., the American Breast Cancer Coalition.

> cows produce a disproportionate amount of methane, which is a disproportionately powerful greenhouse gas.

Can somebody explain run through these quickly, I'm not sure which parts are wrong and how much they're wrong:

1. the constituents in the methane came from the food the cows eat?

2. the food got it from the atmosphere?

3. cows don't increase methane constantly, rather it's the marginal volume of feed required to sustain every new cow on the planet less the ones slaughtered? I.e. the growth in new supply?

4. Eliminating cows raised for meat would stop the increase in methane due to increase in supply and it would result in a one-off net reduction in atmospheric methane in time proportional to what cows were releasing, assuming the food continues to grow?

5. What happens when the food the cows are no longer eating dies, does anything get released then?
