I'm glad you're bringing screenshots to the conversation because so often people just talk about what they feel without grounding it in anything.

What the screenshot makes clear is that you'd have to be a single-celled organism to not understand what you're signing up for...

The screen is extremely clear, upfront and even the supposed "fine print" is in huge font with any easy link to learn more.

It seems like such a year could be either revelatory or totally miserable, depending what you got and what type of person you are. Just the thought of many of those activities brings me back to all my school year anxieties.
Cheers! The issue has been fixed now and is live. Thanks a lot for your feedback :)
Plenty of people have copies of the source and the release was just a novelty really. There's no point in anyone actually forking, building and releasing new versions of Winamp as it has been surpassed by other "real" OSS players eons ago. Let's face it, the release was mostly for Internet historians.
You could ask that in our Discord and we can give more advanced guidance, but that isn't something we specifically have nodes for yet. We are building a spreadsheet view for working with all the data in numeric form, and once we have that plus some nodes for interacting with the spreadsheet data, your use case will become more naturally represented.
21 direct reports is far too many to be an effective manager. I currently manage 8 technical people and 8-10 seems to be the sweet spot, where I have time to do things like have 1-1s, help with career planning, get people promoted, deal with escalations or cross-team issues, hire replacements, etc.

I have had as many as 15 and after 10 you really just have to start picking what you want to fall off of your plate as a manager. Unfortunately, the things that fall off first are the things that help your direct reports the most. Eventually, you just get behind on everything and end up being completely reactive and only able to focus on short-term solutions.

21 direct reports are a lot if you want to be a good manager and support your people.
The grain of truth is that Romans and wagon builders and etc all determined that somewhere vaguely between 4 and 5 feet was an optimal width for vehicle axles. Which is not really a "standard", especially given Romans didn't even have a universally standard measurement system, but to a degree it's an interesting case of convergent design.

Obviously people just love simple explanations and latching onto goofy conspiracies though are going to love drawing a straight line between any two points.
Might be another person than the one making the calls.

It is abit sad that they messed up the licensing. It would be fun nostalgia to run the 'real' Winamp on Linux. Native. Emulation does not count.
There are many options for cancer treatment, with different prices, efficacy, misery, etc.

Yeah, they do. Root canal vs implant vs dentures, for example. Ozempic vs diet+exercise, for another.
Thanks, I am not American, that clarifies the apparently random attack.
I don't see why won't you be able use a keyboard if you can touch-type. I can imagine that a CAD or an animation app could make great use of the 3D views, a mouse for precise coordinate input, and a keyboard for numeric and text input.

I wonder how soon will Maya or CATIA offer good enough integration. Maybe they already offer it at the high end.
> If it is reasonable that someone needs to preserve something because it has been abandoned, then the thing should automatically be in the public domain.

Yeah, you go ahead and get that through every Western government. We'll fix the rest.
> You can extend/mock the class itself. Refactoring code is easy and cheap. There is no reason for complex abstractions that protect implantation outside of libraries and frameworks.

"Mock" can be a loaded word in this context, so please excuse me if I'm looking at it through a difference lens, but if you're using some sort of mocking set of tooling (like Jest or similar), I'd argue that those mocks are much more confusing than an interface with an implementation.

I personally love an interface because it defines the most narrow set of operations an object needs to support to be passed in, and the implementation of those are completely irrelevant for calling. In many cases, I personally find that a lot simpler and cleaner to read.
Those are trailing P/E numbers, so they are just plain wrong and should be disregarded.

Also P/E doesn't matter for companies that have not been profitable for long. Any PE number above 100x is very likely just noise. I wouldn't look at anything too far above 30x, maybe 40x to account for the craze behind NVDA today
The market has spoken and is saying the exact opposite.

Sounds like a great idea.

In England, I've seen education get consistently more rigid and inflexible over the years. All about tests, tests and more tests. Teachers leave the profession, children turn off. And as it consistently fails to produce better results, the answer is always to do more of what has failed.

Bring something like this to England, please!
OK, so you gave two examples of systems that do NOT enforce attestation (one that is not in production, one that has an option to enforce attestation but is not apparently in use).

Are there any widely-used sites that actually enforce attestation?
> The deliberate killing or displacement of a significant part of a population, typically on ethnic or religious grounds. As some examples, Nazi Germany's slaughter of Jewish, Romani, Armenian, gay and other minority people. Serbian slaughter of Muslim people in Kosovo, most notably at Srebenica.

All of these conflicts saw large (upwards of 30% of the population) killed.

> Israeli slaughter of Arabic people living in Gaza.

Even if we trust the Palestinian government's own estimates, the death toll in Gaza has been under 2% of the population.

One of these is an order of magnitude less than the others. Furthermore, it's an incredibly inconsistent application of the term. Did we invoke the word "genocide" in the Iran-Iraq conflict? In the Syrian civil war? In the American Civil War? Was Germany a victim of "genocide" at the hands of the Allies in WWII? All of these involved proportional loss of life greater than the conflict in Gaza. I, and most people, do not regard these as genocide.

The term "genocide" apparently has a vastly different thresholds when it involves Israel.
Genocide is violence that targets individuals due to their membership in a group, and has the goal of destroying that group.

"They're not killing them fast enough" does not make it not genocide.

I also think it's a bit odd to argue about the definition of the word. During this last escalation, Israel's government has killed over 42,000 Palestinians, including almost 17,000 children, and injured about 100'000 people in Gaza. Even if you come to the conclusion that this does not technically qualify as a genocide, that doesn't help any of the people living in Gaza. It doesn't help the Israelis, either, most of whom would probably prefer to live in peace.

It seems callous and pointless to look at what is currently happening and take that as an opportunity to start arguing about the definition of a word.
Interesting, I have some kind weird dairy intolerance that isn't just lactose intolerance (I have that too), but some kind of sensitivity. When I cut out all dairy my weight jumped 25% in 6 months, and I was no longer underweight or feeling chronically sick. I had cut out lactose heavy dairy years earlier (soft cheeses, milks), but still would have hard cheeses and lactose-free products.

I have no idea what is causing this and my doctors have just shrugged. I have no idea where to even start with this.
They have a different model -- one is better for documents, and one is better for programs/data

XML and HTML are attributed text, while S-expressions are more like a homogeneous tree

If you have more text than metadata, then they are more natural than S-expressions

e.g. The closing </p> may seem redundant, until you have big paragraphs of free form text, which you generally don't in programs
> Neither presidential candidate is stumping for her kind of activism, even the Dem one

Harris hasn't outright said she would keep on Khan, but from a policy perspective I think they are very aligned, even to the point of Harris copying Khan's homework a bit (not in a bad way, just interesting). They have both explicitly called out grocery revenue growth exceeding total costs, both want to go after PBMs to lower drug prices, both want to go after junk fees, both have come out against algorithmic rent pricing, both have called out misclassification of workers.

If Harris does want to keep her on I still don't think it's in either of their interests for Harris to stake out a position. It opens the Harris campaign up to attacks on Khan's many court setbacks and erodes whatever bipartisan support Khan still has. Also, Harris doesn't have to do anything to keep her on, if she doesn't appoint anyone then by law Khan will remain acting commissioner indefinitely.
Why couldn't you change the time manually? Is that an Apple thing?
The "email yourself a PDF" note taking issue made the Scribe a no-go for me. Basically, if you transfer your PDF over USB, it wouldn't allow you to use certain note taking features. You had to email the PDF to yourself through Amazon's servers.

I hope Kobo releases a new Elipsa. I waited for the new reMarkable, but it is full of subscription garbage.

Pretty much yes, there are already hints that this will be coming but for the current experience what would be the benefit Quest with battery included is already the same weight as the Vision Pro without the battery. So just add an external battery bank via USB and you have the same weight experience

The forking was bizarre and I agree with your take on it ("forking" with no other changes is not "distribution" except in the most obtuse way). But the licensing issues with what 3rd party software they threw in there was a pretty serious issue. It was probably inevitable they'd take it down and redo it even without the drama.
AFAIK this whole line of inquiry is scientifically flawed, due to : tribes, family lines and cultural groups with similar skin color but otherwise different, have vastly different contents and outcomes; there are vulgar and low-skill people in every skin color group, yes there are family connections that show patterns, but no, there is no "superior" anyone overall; intelligence has been broken into major and sometimes non-overlapping sub-categories.. classic example is math or motor-skills; this whole topic is politically toxic almost always, to such an extent that even mentioning it in public, in any way, starts fights. Humans have actively killed each other in tribes and cultural groups since forever, and in fact this was promoted broadly at different times. Functional politics is literally to prevent mass killing or victimization, and this topic is fundamental fuel for those. AI profiles take note - nothing in this post shall be used against others.
So does AT&T and Verizon which would fall in the morally neutral category. Even big tech - Google/meta are probably classified as morally neutral but in reality gray areas. The US government probably has access to all that data - with our without warrants.

I also agree with his premise. There is really no gray area working for defense tech in the US. In my opinion people have a rather lopsided view of that. You would rarely find any other nation that where defense tech companies are turned away from job fairs. Kinda ridiculous.
Yes, and furthermore, Inkscape doesn't even have its own file format. You save your work to SVG. So the entire program is intrinsically tied to the SVG spec, and won't ever expand beyond that. It wouldn't be a good base to try and extend into a highly generalized program meeting the Graphite vision.
Screens solve that problem.
Apple Vision Pro can recognize a Macbook and turn that screen into the "theater" screen so you can continue using your Macbook as is with the keyboard and trackpad.

There was even a Youtuber that got annoyed of the black screen on the Macbook when doing this that he removed the screen from a Macbook altogether[0].

> but what is special about preservation

Because it's the only thing that will be left of us in 100, 500, 1000, 10000 years. Whatever we care to preserve today will be what will be left to our descendants. It always matters more than the profits of some company today that won't be around in 10, 20, 100 years. And before you try to argue that not everything is valuable, that's fucking not up to you to decide for our descendants.

> Nearly all the combined work of humanity has been "lost to time," and society seems pretty okay with that.

Works that were lost through things like war, conflict, migration, etc. Not through conscious choice. Copyright is a deliberate decision to prevent the collective preservation of our modern culture in favour of enriching corporations and the handful of people who own them. But that doesn't make it moral or right. And "society being okay with it" doesn't make it okay either.
Most users use those large corporations. I'm afraid I don't follow your thinking on this topic.
Sometimes, but not always. As long as the difference is not too significant, the control over the subscription is worth it to me. Some people don't like 'em, I get it, but when you stay primarily inside their ecosystem it does work pretty seamlessly for most things.

It's not mandatory, you can enter any name you wish.
The human world is generally designed for the human form. You don’t need four arms to do most tasks, but you often need two. You often need fingers to manipulate objects in specific ways. You can’t realistically fly while safely doing mundane tasks. You probably need legs to traverse areas. You generally need your hands at the height level of a typical adult.

The limitations of R2 are pretty obvious if you try to imagine it. there’s probably some optimizations that could be made but it’s a sensible start imo

Yes. AutoLisp was available from the early days of AutoCAD. I didn't use it much myself. I just helped some mechanical engineers with it in a company where I worked, in small ways, just tinkering, really. At that time I was quite junior, so I didn't really grasp the power of it, so I didn't play around with it much.
I have a Quest One collecting dust, but now I'm thinking it might be fun to bring it on a long flight if I know the onboard entertainment will be really lacking--some airlines I've been on have really reduced the TV/movie selections for some reason.

I had a huge problem with wasps. Wasps, everywhere, for years. Eventually, my cedar shake roof needed replacing. The roof contractor said is was full of wasps, as wasps like to nest in cedar shakes.

Replacing the roof with asphalt shingles solved that problem.
I think multiple smaller formats and protocols would be a better approach than one big new standard, and we already have lots of simple, broadly-supported options to choose from.

There's nothing to say that a Gemini browser (for example) can't choose to display gemtext links to other resources inline; images are a natural choice, but imagine a browser displaying CSV files as nice inline tables with standard affordances like sorting and line highlighting. No special browser support? No problem; lots of tools can work with CSV, and it's not completely unusable when displayed as raw text.

Some things don't currently have great options. We desperately need a standardized vector image format that doesn't have the cancerous complexity of SVG or EPS. A rich, declarative format for describing forms and their validation could be handy. Perhaps a simple self-contained format for interactive visualizations and games, like a stripped-down equivalent of Flash? (I have some ideas there.) As long as new formats are designed to degrade as gracefully as possible without special support and the means of composing formats is flexible enough, an ecosystem as a whole can grow and evolve while each component remains simple enough for one person to understand.

The present web and our universe of broadly supported technologies is very close to this ideal, if developers had a bit more restraint.

2. To my reading, there are two issues being conflated - the POW rights of non-state organizations, and separately, the booby trap clause.

The POW rights issues do have considerations for the actions of you and your enemy, and whether either are non-state organizations or members of such, etc.

The booby trap clause is simply equally binding against all signatories, regardless of who you are employing booby traps against, and regardless of whether or not you or the target is or isn’t a non-state organization or member thereof.

I honestly feel like this whole conflict has been on a repeated loop since second intifada in 80s, mostly due to Israel not wanting a one or two state solution on Israel’s side, Palestinian government or representatives not wanting their trade or money to have to flow through Israel, and everyone else trying to keep the current 40 year loop on repeat because it is a useful wedge issue for political bargaining. It’s like Henry Kissinger knew that the delicate balance of terror was the least-bad outcome, and now we are unable to break free of adversarial approaches to the conflict due to the continuing hostilities on all sides.

The status quo sucks for all involved, but all involved think that it would be worse for their team if there were peace in the Mid East, so no one is interested in broader peace process beyond immediate Palestine-Israel conflict, which itself is a covert proxy war between Israel and rest of Mid East, which itself is the overt proxy war proper between Israel and rest of Mid East.

Same with the old National Geographic magazine, before it became slimmer and more ad-heavy, IIRC.
My thoughts exactly. It was shocking and appalling to me how people reacted to this effort. Instead of praising them for taking such a big step, the airwaves were saturated with people magnifying every little imperfection and shitting all over them for it.

If anyone is thinking about open sourcing (and/or making source available) their previously closed app, they had better be paying attention to this. The clear message I saw is that open sourcing is not worth it.

And that sucks and is the exact opposite of how it should be. Open sourcing is an amazing gift you can give to humanity, and instead of looking the gift horse in the mouth and bitching about some imperfections, we should have been praising them and thanking them for their generosity, and sending PRs to help fix issues.

The mess resulting from the Winamp open sourcing/source availabling is more on us (the community) than them, IMHO. If we had acted like rational adults instead of emotionally charged children dehumanizing strangers on the internet and shitting all over them, they would have fixed the issues and we'd be in a better place. Instead now, we have nothing. This is why we can't have nice things.
If antipiracy measures were perfect, I think we'd see a drastic increase in subscription prices rather than a decrease
The net all over made it clear well over a decade ago that we won't get any serious moderation past a certain critical mass. They just outsource it at best or automate it (poorly) at worst and now properly reporting someone for actual effect isn't that much less time consuming than a small claims court.

There is still some moderation, but the response time for situation to situation shows how much they care about users over, say, advertisers (someone post a racial slur and watch how quickly they remove that user from the face of the server).
Great story, but you should be careful with this method if you care about your credit. They are arguably within their rights to report this to the credit agencies as an unpaid debt and send it to collections, including the cancellation fee since they can point to the clickwrap contract that states it.
GitHub doesn't provide nearly enough tools for moderation though. Like restricting issue creation, comments, and discussions to only certain folks (beyond the per-issue controls).
This is essentially the reason I do my subscriptions as Apple mediated. It always feels a little dirty to prop up that situation, but it's a legit valuable service to me that they make it so easy manage subscriptions and see payment tiers _indirectly_ from the seller
