Wait. Can you clarify this? I know that NIST's standards were compromised by the NSA or at least there is evidence of it. However, this is not necessarily the same as being morally compromised. The story I've read is that the NIST was taken for a ride by the NSA but weren't in bed with them. Is the narrative I have incorrect?

I would argue that being the first open source variant of a common commercial product is an interesting differentiator. But if there's already an open source version just being another open source one isn't interesting. This is exactly the kind of difference that we're talking about that make something not "just another".

And if someone's doing a thing to learn then why is it being shared, how does that change how it's interesting to other people? I often argue such things should be put in portfolios to show off skills, but that doesn't really make it interesting beyond the scope of evaluating someone's skill. This kind of academic or portfolio work is also clearly not what we're discussing because of course it has inherent value in just the creation.

If you make it to do app and share it with me, I really don't care. Unless you're trying to show me that you can use language XYZ with tool set ABC and your to-do app does that. But even then I don't care about the to do with I care about your skills.

You're right; that's just an example. Even if we included all components, and bumped that contributor number up to 1M, we're talking about 97% "exploitation".

I think you’re missing the ‘human’ angle here.

‘I don’t know’ is rarely an acceptable position for an expert, especially a doctor. And yes, many experts, doctors included, are trained to expect that common things happen commonly. Most people aren’t given to believing conspiracy theories until shown strong supportive evidence.

> This is the law here. It has nothing to do with the doctor.

Again, missing the human angle.

Healthcare professionals can deliver vastly different levels of care, while ostensibly remaining ‘legal’ and beyond reproach.

If that happens it would be suboptimal but still it would be better than what is happening right now. If that happens the game is still going to die at some point but at least company will be upfront about the fact that gamers don’t own but rent/lease their games, and gamers will know when they stop being playing a game (when they stop paying for it, that is).

What happens now is publishers sell games like products - for a single time fee and they don’t let you know when you will stop being able to play the game up front. Then some day they shut down the server and nobody ever can play the game again. Imagine Amazon deleting books you bought from your kindle account. That’s what’s happening now.
There is a flaw in this reasoning.

Nobody ever said that a subsystem maintainer needs to fix Rust bindings.

As Ts'o correctly states, that's the problem of the bindings maintainers.

But there is no problem at all. All that the Rust people want is to be informed about breaking changes. Also they said they're happy to get instructions on the semantics of the C APIs. They seem to want to collaborate. The C people just want them out, as it seems looking at this episode.

I’d look for a more complicated and nuanced explanation than that.
Maybe, there are perverse incentives in scientific publishing (ever heard of publish or perish?), and insufficient checks and balances, and it’s hard to do the right thing and easy to do the wrong thing.

The more nuanced explanation gives you more traction for incremental improvement. One historically easy way to get people to do the right thing is to make the right thing easier.

People used to dump their used motor oil in the nearest stream. Now every auto shop is required to accept used motor oil and recycle it. Doing the right thing is so easy that you’d have to be crazy to do the wrong thing.

Back in 1999 while I was in high school, I played a goofy harmless prank on one of the school computers.

I created a 2-page slideshow presentation. Both of them had the same black background with grey text that appeared to be a DOS session indicating that Windows was deleted, except one had an underscore at the prompt. By telling the program to automatically advance the slides every second, and to loop the presentation, it gave the impression of a blinking cursor. It looked like a broken computer, but simply pressing Escape would get out of it.

Of course, it's worth mentioning that these were Macs, so they didn't even have DOS or Windows.

Anyways, a teacher saw it and thought I had hacked/broken the computer and sent me to the principal that didn't think it was funny and punished me by making me spend the second half of my lunch period with the school IT guy for the next 2 weeks so I could shadow him and see how much vandalism he has to deal with.

When I saw him the first time, he was like "Wait, what did you do?" and I recreated it. He thought it was funny as hell and thought it was ridiculous for them to act like I broke a computer.

We had a lot of fun hanging out. Even after my punishment was over, I still frequently went to his office to chat or walk around and fix computers.
Normally to determine if someone is not cruel and worth being near in general I invite them to a nice restaurant. Then I let them handle most of the interactions with the wait staff. If they are rude or jerks to people they have authority over I stop interacting with them. Thank you for saving me the price of a meal with having to vet you.

A pie is a physical object which enjoys a barrier to competition by being geographically near the consumer - other pies are not near your mouth.

A pie degrades quickly over time - last month's pie is not a competitor to today's pie.

A pie is destroyed during consumption - the pie your friend ate cannot be then eaten by you, no matter how delicious they say it was.

Software (and especially web/mobile/SaaS) is nothing like pies - your friend eats a delicious piece of software, telecommunicates this to you halfway around the world and you can put down the pie you were eating and instantly eat the same pie as your friend, then tell more friends. Pretty soon, nobody's eating the previous pies.

I understand that that is the purpose, but the problem is as soon as you have any error in your computations, you lose the sign of the zero. From the paper you posted:

(ii) Rounding errors can obscure the singularities. That is why, for example, sqrt(z^2-1) = sqrt((z+1)(z-1)) fails so badly when either z^2=1 very nearly or when z^2<0 very nearly. To avoid this problem, the programmer may have to decompose complex arithmetic expressions into separate computations of real and imaginary parts. thereby forgoing Some of the advantages of a compact notation.

(iii) Careless handling can turn infinity or the sign of zero into misinformation that subsequently disappears leaving behind only a plausible but incorrect result. That is why compilers must not transform z-1 into z-(1+0i) as we have seen above, nor -(-x-x^2) into x+x^2 as we shall see below, lest a subsequent logarithm or square root produce a nonzero imaginary part whose sign is opposite to what was intended.

Branch cuts are a fundamentally dumb idea in finite precision math because if your input number has any uncertainty (which it always does), you don't know which side of the branch cut you are on. With a massive amount of manual work, you can sometimes hack the system well enough to work for extremely contrived cases, but in reality, it will never be useful because within the broader scope of the problem, if you've hit a singularity, you don't know what side you hit it from.

Functions with singularities are ubiquitous in physics and other branches of science, but symbolic math is needed to correctly track them.

When a User adopts a new piece of software an investment of time and effort is necessary (not so for eating a pie). If a particular piece of software doesn't do anything to improve the User's current process it is a wasted investment. If the User currently doesn't use a similar piece of software because they found what is available lacking then why invest if the new software doesn't do anything different.

It's really not, because the end users of your service, that being whoever consumes them, does not care about the AGPL and CAN close source their code.

If I call an AGPL service I can do that from a proprietary application. What I can't do is publish an AGPL service, modify that service, and then hide the modifications. So it works just like GPL in that way except instead of, like, including it's publishing an internet-available service.

Companies are super scared of AGPL but that's just because they're scaredy cats (sorry, "risk averse"). But no, you're free to publish an AGPL service and you can even monetize it, if you want. You're also free on the client-side to do whatever and have whatever license you want for your code.

> Geez. I meant the concept of a cover vs the concept of an original. A cover is ultimately a performance, and is different from writing a new song. This is so well understood within the music community that a song even has separate copyrights for the song itself and a recording of its performance (even by the songwriter).

If only it were that simple. There are constantly cases bought to court about similarities in one persons work to another artists. Then you have other issues around what constitutes a derivative work. And so many original songs sample other artists songs and pay them royalties, that's not a cover either.

I think what you're trying to highlight is writing credits vs performance. Which is a lot easier to define. However even here, plenty of disputes still happen.

> But it is strange to think of a reimplementation of a piece of software that one might acquire and use easily; it doesn't really fit the concept of performance.

The real problem with these analogies is that you're comparing something consumable with something reuable. But I accept the point of an analogy isn't precision.

> I am in fact a fan of reimplementing things in order to figure out how they work, but I don't expect my implementation to have any utility beyond the pedagogical value I got from doing it, unless it is in some way different from what exists already.

Would emulation fall into this category? You're building software to run something exactly as it would run elsewhere - a reimplementation. The motive differs (to run on different hardware) but that's not a property of the product itself.

Which comes back to my earlier post: you're talking about the merit of replication without discussing motives behind it. In your latest comment you say "to figure out how they work" and that's another great example of a motive that brings value to replication.
