I heard that argument before. Legitimizing one‘s own drug abuse for „medical reasons“ to make it socially acceptable.

Everyone is on some kind of spectrum and both people I had arguments with about your point of view - are both dead now thanks to overdosing.

I think the medical profession has a reason to exist and I‘d rather see people using professionals to treat their conditions than self-experimenting with possible fatal substances.
I've always thought that when they ask the questions of, "did you pack this bag? and "has this been in your possession?" that it is more about drug convictions than safety.
I'll concede that "open source" may mean other things in other contexts. For example, an open source river may mean something in particular to those who study rivers. This thread was not talking about a new context, it was not even talking about the weights of a machine learning model or the licensing of training data, it was talking about the licensing of the code in a particular GitHub repository, llama3.

AI may make copyright obsolete, or it may make copyright more important than ever, but my prediction is that the IT community will lose something of great value if the term "open source" is diluted to include licenses that restrict usage, restrict distribution, and restrict modification. I can understand why people may want to choose somewhat restrictive licenses, just like I can understand why a product may contain gelatin, but I don't like it when the product is mis-labelled as vegan. There are plenty of other terms that could be used, for example, "open" by itself. I'm honestly curious if you would defend a pork product labelled as vegan, or do you just feel that the analogy doesn't apply?

Rail freight and passengers mostly share the same tracks in Japan with the exception of the Shinkansen network* which is passenger only. The big difference is Japan sends way less freight by rail than the US and freight that does go by rail is scheduled at night when there are no passenger trains running.

*There’s probably an exception to the exception for the Akita / Yamagata branches that partially run on regular train lines.
#17 is still higher in that ranking than the large majority of US states.

Still, that's just the opinion of that organization. What's important is the opinions of the Texas voters, and they vote for politicians who generally oppose government regulation. I think it's extremely unlikely that they'll vote for anyone who promises to pass legislation to curb noise pollution.
> VTedit

At Waikato university a student, Ivan Piacun, wrote "vted", also a set of macros for TECO, on the PDP-11/70. I would say it was what most people used until the switch to VAX.

I tracked Ivan down on LinkedIn a few months ago. He says when he wrote "vted" he had absolutely no knowledge of other similar efforts, or of either emacs or vi, both of which existed (on the other side of the world) a couple of years earlier.

Everyone worked in a silo in those days.

You might eventually see something in BYTE (though it focussed on microcomputers) or Dr Dobbs (ditto) or Wireless World. Or something might make it ono a DECUS tape. But mostly you were just completely isolated if you lived on an island in the South Pacific Ocean, as we did.

I was happy with EDT, never got to like TPU's "Eve", though I didn't use it for long because I graduated ...

... graduated to a company that used DG MV10000 with AOS/VS, which had an even worse clone of TECO called SPEED.

There must have been a better editor, though I think still a line editor, but I have absolutely no memory of what it was called or how it worked!! I remember having to use SPEED for some things, but not most of the time. Maybe on very large files.

I was writing programs in PL/I and also Postscript on that machine. I hooked the brand new Apple Laserwriter to the MV10000, something both DG and the Apple dealer said was impossible, and used it, at first, mostly to replace an HP pen plotter to make diagrams and graphs to physically paste into gaps left in hard copy "camera ready" output from an IBM DisplayWriter word processing system.

I can't tell you how to sell it, but I can tell you what you would need to offer me, for me to buy it as a security tool:

Your company must:
* be quite large, including dedicated security teams
* have a rock solid lengthy reputation (or you would need to be a big name in cybersecurity as its founder)
* demonstrable security hygiene & certifications (secure development practices, pentesting, SOC2, etc.)
* offer products with flexibility to suit my needs
* solve a real problem I have, not a theoretical one

It's going to be an uphill challenge to build a company in the security market, unless you're a really big name in cyber. It's a worthwhile challenge, but expect it will take either big investment or a long time starting out before you see the rewards, especially with such a niche product that doesn't really fit into the large enterprise space, and given most small shops won't want the complexity or have the budget for it.

And I totally understand people worrying a lot about that, given the golden age of deep fakes we live in. Imagine what's possible 10 years ahead when that biometric data can be used to imitate and authenticate you.

The "Citizens United" ruling simply said that citizens who pool money to pay for political media do not lose their first amendment rights by doing so in the form of a corporation. (or other entity). In this case it was a group who funded a documentary critical of Hillary Clinton.

Citizens United was a fundamentally pro-first amendment, pro-human rights ruling.

I written a data structure for grouping intervals into disjoint connected clusters. Each cluster in the data structure is a connected component of the interval space (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connected_space for the definition of connected component).

This is useful to determining maximum concurrent use of a resource; for instance, if there are only 3 projectors, a maximum of 3 lessons that require projectors can overlap at any given time.

The basic idea is to use a sorted multi-set of each interval's end points, doing case analysis on insertion to determine what interval clusters to merge; removal re-computes the entire cluster the removed range was in, splitting the cluster into two or more when gaps are encountered.

For the implementation, see https://github.com/TimefoldAI/timefold-solver/blob/main/core...

As a side effect of keeping track of connected clusters, the data structure also keeps track of gaps between clusters (which could be used to find the next availability).

For how it is used in practice, there an example in Timefold's docs:
https://docs.timefold.ai/timefold-solver/latest/constraints-...

A simpler algorithm can be used when each interval represent a time grain (fixed length, no two intervals overlap). See https://github.com/TimefoldAI/timefold-solver/tree/main/core... for that.

The problem is that the corruption has built up so much, and so many generations have grown up being "educated" by propaganda on TV like "Law & Order" that they think this is not corruption at all.

But the 4th amendment is clear, they need a warrant. They never get one. And when they do, they are almost all fraudulent/invalid warrants.

But since government is the only one that gets to enforce the laws, it is not a surprise that government tends to let government get away with criminal activity.
Throw an exception, because the input is probably invalid and the output definitely will be. Of course, it follows that you need to either plan for the program to crash or catch the exception. But that's still better than just running with wrong numbers.

You don't know the definition of drug abuse if that's what you think this is. I do agree that the medical profession has a reason to exist, and I would very much prefer to receive this treatment from a doctor, but doctors are not currently allowed to prescribe it; even psilocybin (where legal) can only be administered under professional supervision, and is currently approved only for psychedelic therapy, not for ADHD treatment.

There's a lot we don't understand about these substances, but I have overwhelming evidence from experience that what it does for me is something that helps. I'm sorry to hear about the overdoses.
>Computer integers aren't the real numbers you learned about in gradeschool

Why would anyone think computer integers are real numbers? Anyone who's given it a modicum of thought will know intuitively they're a subset of "real life" integers, not reals.

>using 0,x is a perfectly reasonable and intuitive way of defining things.

I would argue it's neither reasonable nor intuitive. If you want to create some special data type then have at it, but if the behavior of `int` doesn't approximate the behavior of IRL integers, call your data type something else.

> Is there any record in post-roman history of a city subject to destruction which wasn't rebuilt?

I think your question is basically a proxy for population. In areas where populations rebound, cities are obviously rebuilt. In areas where the population continues to decline, they aren't. And the very nature of dead cities means you also probably have never heard of them, so listing random names is pointless. But you can obviously find endless examples in times ranging from the Mongols to the USSR. Well and probably beyond, I'm sure Africa has examples after 1991.

The primary question is how efficient pizza is, as a food. Given it can be scaled at point of consumption and uses a large heatmass continuously, It probably is quite efficient use of flour, water, yeast, tomato paste and optional toppings most of which can be preserved passively in a cooler climate. The thermal storage of brickwork means for the investment in heating, a large number of Pizza can be cooked and during its cooling phase other dishes can use slow cooking effectively so it's doubly efficient given other potential uses: This is much the same as a bakery and traditionally Jewish bakers have used their embedded heat investment to provide slow cooking for the community on the sabbath.

So on basic economic/efficiency terms, Pizza was a good fit for a planned economy and should have been widely available. It's even moderately efficient to offer varieties, which means a degree of individual choice can be preserved and there are options to price efficiently which means rationing can be enforced sensibly.

A significant problem is that with unreliable energy supply, Pizza cannot be made but luckily, we are adaptable (homo sovieticus!) and so a large variety of things can be burned to make a pizza oven operate. Some of them do not produce good flavours and CCA treated timber should not be used for wood fired ovens routinely.

Arguably, a calzone is just a pirogi anyway. So, "yes" Lawful-neutral, Pizza was invented in Russia.
