It's not possible to sell non-FOSS modifications to AGPL-licensed software. I think that's intended. It's not antithetical to Open Source, quite the opposite in fact.
This all seems to be based on the underlying assumption that art has an objective and measurable quality (or level of crapness, if you prefer). But I suspect many people would disagree with that premise, and even if they did agree, they would probably disagree on how to measure it.
Huh. Apparently I've been watching videos on mpv for years without HW acceleration. Good thing I read this; thanks!
I had someone try to tell me this or some similar alternative method once, but for this particular use-case my method seemed faster. Usually I'm viewing the dir with the file in ranger, hit r (shortcut for :open_with ), type mpv, enter, I in mpv for info, q to quit, a in ranger to rename the file with old name pretyped in. It's a pretty smooth workflow. Assuming I start from the same place in ranger I have to press colon and type `shell -w file %s` and hit enter which may or may not be faster but I think is more keystrokes. I could bind it to a key in ranger if I found an open one and then that might be better. It's sometimes weeks between instances of the mis-saved images or else I might've tried harder to optimize this. The shell script idea is neat.
Videos play for 10 seconds then stop loading, forced reduced quality, and just generally buggy in several different ways. Many Reddit strings with tons of other people having similar issues.

This sentence is also mind bogglingly ambiguous:

> Please note that this notification was not delayed as a result of a law enforcement investigation.

Was there a law enforcement investigation or wasn't there? The sentence can either mean:

a) A law enforcement investigation happened, but it didn't delay the notification

b) It may or may not have been delayed, but a law enforcement investigation played no causal role in a delay - whether it had happened or not

c) A law enforcement investigation happened, and it delayed the notification, but not in the legal sense of a "late notification"

Yep delegation works. It works especially well when it’s matched to the scope the person is capable of exercising competently at, and when the boundaries and context of delegation is crystal clear. I’ve seen mismatches on both sides fail - too little context, employee drifts off into niche useless work (eg: green light to rabbit hole on impactless pet project) or lacks the tools available to succeed (eg: missing stakeholder or path to achieve traction). Too few boundaries, employee goes for grand ambitious changes and gets upset when their expectations don’t match reality (because they weren’t realistically set by the manager).
Add the double whammy effect of tannins in tea, coffee, wine:

"Tannic acid (TA) is an organic compound belonging to the tannin group. [...] It can also form complexes with mineral components, reducing their absorption. In some cases, this can be beneficial, such as in the case of toxic metals, but sometimes it may have a detrimental effect on the body when it involves essential mineral components like Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, or Fe."

The effect of phytochemicals in our diets, the only form of defense plants have against being eaten, is severely under-researched, and completely ignored by most drive-by dietary advice. As I said elsewhere, cooking helps, but the dose makes the poison. You won't fare well with a diet of beans, spinach and a ton of coffee or tea, that's for sure.

There is no reason to start caching previous frames until AFTER the user has paused and pressed the "back frame" key. Only THEN does it need to rewind to the previous i-frame and re-render and cache frames. And there is no measurable cost to remembering the timestamp of the last i-frame, so you know where to rewind to.

Some 20 - 10 years ago I was seriously interested in joining Google for many of the reasons he lists. In the end I never applied because at the time they had no development in any country I would have been interested to relocate to.

However, during recent years I have turned into a Google hater. He does not mention any of those aspects. Google is an evil business IMHO. They are an advertising company. The challenges for this planet are sustainability. The goal of advertising is to waste resources. I can type this on a low end phone that soon turns 10. It works perfectly, except that no recent Android version is supported. Google is in the business that cores and memory have been doubled several times since then, for no benefit to mankind. And phones are far from the only category, advertisement is about selling a lot of stuff that does not bring any true improvement in quality of life. Video is one of the worst energy wasters in computing. 90% of Youtube is useless crap, not worth destroying the planet. Nobody would pay a realistic price for it. They are an ugly oligopolist. The list could go on and on...

I like the Grafana stack so far, it seems more lightweight and suitable for homelab scale than something like Elastic. Grafana/alloy remote_write functionality to push logs from all machine/vm/node/pod to a central grafana/loki and metrics to prometheus. Optionally visualize both in a grafana dashboard.

The thing is, I'm not administrating any organization with Microsoft.

> The washing machine-sized satellite, was designed and built in the UK under a £22m contract awarded to Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) and is the first to be fully owned by the MoD.

Win for the UK satellite industry here. Also a win for NATO capability that can operate independently of the US if needed.
C# was a response to Java. Microsoft RARELY innovates. They look around and what is trendy and cool and copy it (usually in terrible fashion) and shove it down the throats of all the customers who can’t leave them.

Oh, user separation is not a security boundary? I was not aware! Let’s all work as root then! /s

The fact that this was the norm on single-user Windows workstations until Windows Vista is astonishing, to say the least. How anyone could want that back is beyond me. It enabled malware to compromise the entirety of the computer with ease. No exploits or anything required! Certainly not one of these pesky UAC prompts!

I'm really glad this got created, but the examples are... terrible?

How is the "kernS: 'kern' referenced before assignment" problem an example of a good/verified sample? The comment (if it is a comment?) is using // in python and I can't tell if it's an example of something failing, or a line from the error, or something else.

I would hope we can concentrate on benchmarking on full, well structured sentences before we go into "my first hasty SO question" territory. Which don't get me wrong, is useful if you want to write very short prompts, but... we're not great with basics yet and it can be always refined to a quality prompt by the LLM in a separate step. It feels really weird to me to include that in the benchmark.
Somewhat ironically, the BBC article illustrates the "similar capability" with a picture taken by a commercial British satellite launched in 2018 and built by the same private British company.

So there is nothing ground breaking there in term of capability. The point is just that this is apparently the first reconnaissance satellite owned by the MoD, which probably means much faster reaction times and more independence.

Interesting factoid:

"One interesting feature is its propulsion system which manoeuvres the satellite using water. The water goes through a thruster that heats it up to make superheated steam. That's how we get thrust and do station-keeping," explained chief technology officer Andrew Haslehurst." [1]

They are not default keybinds, but like any configuration can be cycled or set at runtime. Actually I don't use the keybindings much directly since my default config usually is fine, but have a remote GUI to configure it when needed.

Having spent some time with Google as SWE, I think Google was by far the best engineering company I have worked with. Even Amazon, Microsoft were terrible when it comes to software engineering.

I am one of those engineers who do not care about culture as long as I am getting paid for the efforts I put in. Google in that sense beat others by HUGE margin.

The engineering work was however very different. We focused on right engineering solutions instead of just business aspect. While that kind of attitude hurts us in short term, it pays big in long term.
Pattern in C can also be provided. :)

> The signal over noise would approach zero if everybody could create a bug report when something does not work as they wanted.

I hear you, but it could be something not so extreme. Lots of even more popular projects work fine with bug reporting system on GitHub, which everyone has access to.

No I don't, I just want to subscribe to the issues I care, which you can't do without having an account..
What’s the point if the capacity to deploy good products has been lost in the process? What if what you see as unreliable was at the hearth of what enabled great things to happen. This is a typical caveat of a programmer centric organization. Things get more reliable but more frozen and innovation die.
can't speak for others, but BCID is this thingy: maybe your team has some petabytes quota in the datacenter, but as a software engineer, you no longer can test your number-crunching data-processing program by running it there, not before checking it into repository. Instead, you'll have to check it in, and then run, and then check in the fixes you found
Be careful not to burn bridges so quickly.

This isn’t particularly helpful advice in domains where unknown unknowns really do appear. Not everything can be surfaced at design time. Having said that, design time is the perfect time to align on rules of engagement for surfacing and managing unknown unknowns.

It’s also possible that it occurs in genuine miscommunications. It happened to me two weeks ago when my team lead had a different interpretation to a doc I wrote than what I intended. Shit happens. There are mechanisms a team can put in place to mitigate these eg: forcing user stories to be clearly enumerated and matched to parts of the design; third party review; definitions and glossaries; office hours for document review. But it does happen.

If this hypothetical scenario comes up with genuinely avoidable issues, is not due to miscommunication, then this seems like a culture problem. If a person’s approval was explicitly requested, given, and rescinded for political or personal reasons, yes that’s when management needs to step in and navigate the team out of those fucked up dynamics.
I can understand that startups and small business may not understand that value comes from cash flow not profits.

This is not correct.

You can have positive cash flow over a period but still be losing money.

You can also have minimal cash flow but be wildly positive.

Cash flow is one component of value, but not the only one.

> justify inaction with their impact on climate change.

but this is the correct justification. If the customer is the one buying these products that cause climate impact, why is it the sole responsibility of the company to pay the cost of rectification?

In such situations, where externality is problematic, it is up to the gov't to push regulations to prevent it. A carbon capture tax, for example, is one such way.

Yes, by deliberative I was taking seriously the notion (from Society of Mind and Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat) that our qualia of consciousness may be a quasifictional single-threaded experience which we tell ourselves to explain actions which we've actually arrived at in a far less totally-ordered manner.

On coaching and anxiety as overthinking the future: a big part of dealing with horses is to notice when they're overthinking [the danger in] a situation, and focus their concentration upon activity in the here-and-now, one after the other*, but staying with what needs to be done and not leaving space for anxiety about what might happen. This is difficult for them at first, but gets easier and easier with practice. (one of the aims of both european and "western" training is to get a horse to a point where it can go into the equine equivalent of an on guard position, ready for any movement, not because it is excited but because it is relaxed)

[I certainly couldn't arrange all the muscle firings for four legs and a neck to carry both myself and a rider through even a halfway complicated movement, but acting as coach I can help a horse to improve how they do so.]

I've also used this focus on myself: one of the better moments of my fencing career was a bout in which I was down 0-9, and said to myself "I'm obviously choking here; time to change something", and so by concentrating solely on winning precisely each current point ("no past no future") eventually won 15-12.

* compare https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_memorand... which argues that if you have a small mind coping with a wide world, a next-state automaton is both necessary and (insofar as it's the best you can do given the size mismatch) sufficient.
I don't see how anki is an experts tool...unless you want it to be.

You can simply dump everything into a single collection, use basic 'front' and 'back' cards...and review. Yes, it may not be 'optimal' depending on how you mark cards, but for most people, it's good enough. Better than nothing, and probably an improvement as an addition to whatever they are currently doing.

If you want expert features, you can. You can drill, tag, organise, create different templates....but none of that is really necessary, or particulary pushed on you as something you should or have to use.

I’m not saying we should control what people are allowed to hear, and even if I were, banning people from posting garbage on social media hardly rises to that level. I think you’ve got this part drastically wrong, but maybe I didn’t explain myself well enough, so I’m sorry for that.

I’m specifically against the amplification of radical content through profit-driven social media algorithms, which has no analogue in the 20th century or indeed any other time in human history. There is no historical or philosophical context that I’m aware of that you could share with me that would be equivalent.

This is what I mean by “free reach” — radical content keeps eyeballs on apps/websites, so it gets amplified so that shareholders can make more money via advertisements. The algorithms that do this need to be banned and/or heavily regulated, and until they are I am in favor of banning/silencing entities who use those algorithms to their advantage to spread dangerous content.

Any of the above-mentioned entities is free to post whatever content they want on their own sites, blogs, or social media that isn’t profit/algorithm-driven. Therefore, no “free speech” (ugh, again, I hate that term in this context) rights are lost, nor is anyone being deprived of the right to hear something.
Sufficiently advanced levels of indirection is indistinguishable from magic!

“Shrinkage” is the generic term I have heard for stock losses of all kinds in retail and distribution channels.

In many jurisdictions, cash payments can allow the retailer to avoid on-paying sales tax or VAT, as well as mark stock shrinkage as a loss for their own tax purposes.

Countering this would require very careful auditing of electronic toll records and paper receipt processes, which are in most cases trivial to evade if well-prepared.

And you can’t always be sure that the shrinkage - without the cash - is reported to the manager of the retailer by the person on the till, especially if an unofficial handwritten receipt is provided by the cashier.

I recall seeing a situation involving a very large champagne purchase on New Year’s Eve in cash for 25% off and a “till receipt problem”.
