> The team was pretty disappointed I was stepping down, which I guess means I did a good job

If you’re a boss and everyone likes you, then you’re probably doing too much yourself, not doing the right things, or being too easy on everyone.

It’s a one-way path to a miserable life.

Committing to the belief that a) Everyone won’t like me and b) Everyone shouldn’t like me made me much happier as a boss.

> I just couldn't deal with trying to balance my own perfectionism with other people doing the work.

Whenever I interview someone who’s a self-described perfectionist, I love asking them “Tell me about the last thing you did perfectly…” It often leads to, “So you’re a perfectionist and you’re having a hard time finding something you did perfectly…”

I’ve had a few people have a visible A-Ha moment during the discussion. Those are the ones that I like to hire.
> It is about moving the trust.

Trust isn't being moved, though. Cloudflare could, by design, always see what website you were accessing. The difference is with ECH, there is one less party (someone listening in on your internet traffic) that can see which hostname you're accessing.
Users have basically no reason to move over because they have no problems with the play store. Apps only move over for their own business reasons like saving on fees or avoiding privacy restrictions.
Why dvd though? You create a new problem!
Only true when the entire Internet is routed through Cloudflare. (A majority probably will, but the GP surely meant this.)

The secondhand market helps the firsthand market: people are more likely to buy something at the offered price if they know they can resell it on the secondhand market later.

Can you imagine what the automobile market would look like if you couldn't trade-in or sell your car and just had to trash it? New cars sales would plummet.

A place to sit that happened to have wireless charging, maybe but I'm not sure I would place a premium on it when purchasing and I would never purchase an IoT or connected piece of furnature. I certainly would never buy a 6 legged walking table or a moving wall that collapsed by office into my bedroom. It seems to me only the most expensive housing markets could justify the expense of a robot wall and bed.

To some extent, if you can’t afford a yearly audit, you can’t afford unlimited access to users sensitive documents. It’s much like handling credit card data or toxic waste. Most people and small orgs should avoid it at all costs.

It is not possible he could have thought that in 1992. It’s probably not even possible that he passed up one billion. Had he tried he’d likely have lost out to open standards like so many others did.

You could prove me wrong easily. Find someone who raised (inflation adjusted) tens of billions, had the opportunity to make trillions, and declined. You can’t. You can likely take that down two orders of magnitude and still not succeed.

People who did some work on their own and open sourced something small that turned into something huge are not even close to what we’re talking here. They didn’t turn down a trillion, they turned down $100k that turned into a trillion later.

It isn’t about integrity. It’s about how humans rationalize. “Nobody is being hurt here.” “This can improve humanity.” “I’ll do good things with the money.”

It’s easy to say people have “integrity” when you just define it as adhering to your belief system when the stakes seem low, not their belief system when the stakes are clearly high.

The problem is, that you now have to go to that services' site, download the apk there and then get promptet "an update is available", download, install, etc., with the benefits of a package management system. You have alternative stores like f-droid, but there are almost no apps there, that would make "normal users" install it... for now. Same for others.

So it's okay for WordPress.org to damage a bunch of WordPress users because they're not customers of Automattic and therefore WordPress.org has no obligations to them?

It's this kind of blurring of lines between Automattic and the foundation that has people very very concerned here.

Your description is not consistent with history. Politics and corruption are not outsized drivers of law. Especially case law built through the courts. It’s all edge cases.

Try the example of drafting a standard apartment lease, over millions of transactions between landlords and tenants lots of edge cases emerge. So over time leases get more complicated. And then the law around interpretation and enforcement gets complicated.

As a compromise, I am willing to add conditions something to the effect of some of the spectrum ceded by the military can be temporarily reclaimed for exclusive in case of a ground invasion on the continental United States. I mean I don't think a ground invasion on the continental United States is likely but if putting language like this makes the military feel better, I am ok with it.
It’s less manual than that, the app opens the OS file picker which has unlimited access, the user selects the file, the file is then made available for the app to access, the app can then save it to Google drive.

What it can’t do is grab your entire drive file list and contents the moment you sign in.

Big missed opportunity for Tcl was the lack of a solid version of Tk for classic Mac (30 years ago). Would have made early Python less essential.
>(being paid for by the US, after Musk initially provided free service early in the war after a Ukrainian request)

This is not true. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40250680 :

1 Musk never provided free service for Ukraine. All dishes have subscription. What Musk alluded to was "free upgrade" while demanding Ukrainians start paying for Mobile Priority plans.

2 "As of October 2022 there were 18k Starlink terminals in Ukraine. At the time State Department (USAID) paid for ~2K units, Poland paid for >12K units – over half of all terminals came from one relatively poor EU country.

December 2022 number rose to 22K. Apparently as of June 2023 there are >40K terminals in use, with USAID share rising to at least ~5K."

US paid for 1/8 of all terminals up to June 2023. I stopped tracking numbers last year.
My safety technique is to echo the commands before I do the actual commands as a sanity check, e.g.

Google drive also has this functionality where apps can persistently access any files they created.

There are a ton of options here that don’t involve unlimited access to all files.
When deleting, if it is more than a few specifically named files I will use a "find ... -delete" invocation.

I like it for two reasons. Find feels like it has more solidly defined patterns and recursion than shell globing and by leaving off the "-delete" it give me a chance to inspect the results before committing to my actions.

I genuinely liked your opening statement (disagreeing...)

I am sorry to hear you had such a raw experience. Maybe you were dealing with pretty clueless engineers, since most do realize a buffer overflow should be treated exploitable unless proven otherwise. I've had better experience trying to argue the cost of fix -- it being pretty low was incentive enough for engineering to fix it.

That said, I am worried evilsocket may not be taken seriously next time he finds a vulnerability with CVSS 9.9. To some extent I am surprised by his argument on not knowing CVSS scoring rubrik. There may have been language barrier at play as well, leading to some of his sentences coming across as more abrasive than they should have been.
He would have to deny it, even if there were none of the shenanigans surrounding all this.

The likely target that emerged in my mind reading this is mom and pop point of sale systems.

The operators of such systems are completely oblivious to such risks, and the underpaid PoS software support team following a script to restart CUPS probably are as well.
Therein lies the problem. Why is a8c even involved? This is a WordPress Foundation problem.
"Politics and corruption" is exactly what is complex about society, and it is absolutely intristic to society. That's why we have laws in the first place.

> because the public wouldn't support many things in the status quo if they understood the workings of them

Personally, I've observed the opposite more often: somebody feeds the public a clickbait-ey and manipulative "explanation" of how things work, and public becomes enraged without any real understanding of complexities and trade-offs of the system, as well as unintended consequences of proposed "fixes". It is the main reason why socialism is a thing.

I fully understand what they are saying. I'm saying it doesn't matter. There is a group of people that believe anything above free is too much. For both software and books.
Yes this has been a misdirection from the publishers for a while that even some librarians are repeating (other things are supposedly stolen credentials used to do more than just getting access to publications).
Can't it reuse v's memory for other things before v is defined? Say there is "int a = 4;" at the beginning of main that is no longer used when it reaches "int v = 1;", can't a & v share same memory location?
Checker: A GitHub-Style Habit Tracker for iOS
I wouldn't want any text editor app to have full rights to my Google Drive. I literally recently implemented a similar feature (not for a text editor but for an app that needed to pull files from many different sources), and it's not that hard, i.e. giving easy access to local files and then using the picker control for "Drive imports".

The problem here is the original app developer had full, willy-nilly Drive access, and when Google rightfully locked down this level of access (and, mind you, didn't prohibit - I've gone through the Drive restricted scope verification process and it's not as hard as this blog post is making it out to be), the developer didn't take the time to see what was necessary to comply.

Again, I have no doubt Google could have given better instructions on how to migrate to the drive.file scope or how to use the restricted scopes. But Google has been warning about this for many years now, so seems like this dev just scrambled at the last minute.
Until then the $10.5B in equity might come in handy.
>It's all just text though, both images and audio are presented to LLM as a text

This is not true
Hmm, fair points, especially on there not being a strict norm for charities. Thanks for taking more time to clarify.

I’d say we disagree about the following somewhat indeterminate points:

1. Whether OpenAI has/could-have-had staying power without raising immense amounts of venture capital. I will readily admit that they’ve gone so far down this road that they are now somewhat trapped by their massive investments and contracts, not to mention losing almost all their top researchers.

2. Whether the people in charge of this deal can be trusted to propose a fair outcome for the charity other than “their mission ineffably lives on in us” (and as a corollary, whether a fair outcome is likely).

3. Whether the private technical assets of OpenAI (GPT, DALLE, and Sora) are meaningfully unique in their potential for impact, knowing what the public knows in the current moment — which I will admit is far from the complete competitive picture.

4. Whether OpenAI’s mission could be meaningfully achieved by passing out grants to a diverse body of scientists.

I’d be happy to “debate” (lol) any of those particulars if you want, but I think it’s otherwise best to leave it at “we assess the known facts differently”. If we let some time pass, that’ll at least settle question 2…
Musk admitted meeting Putin before cutting off Starlink incident. There is no doubt Putin sold him "I will nuke low orbit and destroy your toy if you cross me" lie.
This is a ridiculously over hyped vulnerability, the most over-hyped I've seen in a long time.

Still, kudos to the author who found it, it's going to definitely be a career boost with all the world is ending headlines.
The fees can be avoided by making the subscription on the web ui and then continuing to use the main app.

The speech restrictions maybe have some merit, but right now Telegram basically only restricts extreme hate speech / borderline terrorist content to mobile users. The majority of users don’t care to access this anyway.
Thank you for correcting my first-hand experiences. You know what we didn’t do? We didn’t “tax Americans” by continuing to use China, we made what we could in the US.
Can you recommend any resources for writing for system 6/7 on the old 68k devices? I cut my teeth using computers on those but haven't written anything targeted at that platform.
Russia is out producing the US on guided munitions and rockets fired from the ground as well (and missile defense). And icebreakers, of course.

So it’s doable - just depends on priorities (ie, moving chip manufacturing back which seems to have us recent success).
Great to see all the love for TCL here :) Too bad it's not more popular really but even I struggle to find cases where I'd prefer it. Usually it come down to bash for simple stuff and python everything else.

Disagree. One of the criteria seems to be whether there is a reasonable substitute phrase or word to describe the product. I think we agree that there is no other word to describe the open-source package known as WordPress without using "WordPress".

What would you call your Wordpress hosting service if not "WordPress Hosting"? What would you call your Linux Hosting?

>Your allowed nominative use and/or a software license does not give you a license to title your own services with their trademarks.

Citation?

My understanding is that litmus test is whether the naming implies endorsement or "official-ness" of the offering. There is no hard and fast rule like you're claiming. It's all context dependent. So while a court may find that this causes confusion I don't see it as obvious like you seem to.

Your link, while interesting (thanks!) doesn't appear to be a good analogue. Based on my reading of that page:

Debian decided it couldn't use the Firefox logo because it didn't meet their standards for openness (as it was protected by copyright). So they included "Firefox" without the logo. Subsequently, Mozilla complained that they couldn't use the Firefox name without using all the branding in its entirety. And so... Debian rebranded Firefox (and other Mozilla software) to something else.

In other words, it was Debians policy that prevented them from using the logo, not Mozillas. That's not at all the same. And anyways, none of this was tried in court (thankfully) so it wouldn't be a precedent anyways.
It's like the "smile". The smile that I see on faces when I walk around - I mean the faces that I have never seen before and will never see again. Smiles on those faces which are not really smile unless we call it a smile every time facial muscle stretch. It's just pulling your corners of the lip away from the middle and just nod mindlessly which often actually looks more of a frown than a smile but that's called the polite mandatory smile. Nobody who has ever smiled in their lives or have seen someone really smile takes those smiles as smiles at face value, do they?

An obvious candidate in this case would be the pro-rata share of the cost of creation. Possibly offset by ability to pay, e.g. if you can afford to pay a little more then do so because some people can't afford to pay as much and you still want the overall total to cover the cost.

I actually don't think this is right. Bug fixes in the old code aren't in the "new, memory safe" code. You're fixing the old code as it gets older, reducing the defects.
Add every macOS-running device to the picture (who disables cupsd?)...
Yup. And it needs to be something that has to be done regularly, either every time the app updates or on a fixed schedule. Otherwise you would get a similar ecosystem that happened with some browser extensions, where a benign developer goes, writes an useful app, gets the permissions for that and a user base, then some shady company comes and acquires the app and updates it to use the permission to suck up all data.

Sure it's an annoying process for developers, but Google has to think of the user privacy when creating the policies around these kind of permissions.
Honestly, with how quickly sea ice and glaciers are melting away, I don't think icebreakers will be something we would necessarily need in the near future.
