It's wild to nitpick the licensing like this. I get why its conter-intuitive and in violation of Github's guidelines, but it's winamp, folk. It has no intrinsic value these days to update or fork outside of giving people the opportunity to learn from the tricks they had to do to make stuff work. There are solutions significantly better and open source today. 'Canceling' winamp in 2024 was not on my life's bucket list after the year 2000.

There is hypocrisy here around internet archive, it's totally OK to store copy-write content on the archive, but its not OK when a company does so on their own.
> inequality between groups is largely explained by genetics rather than external factors like discrimination

It’s pretty obvious that between groups there will be differences in phenotypes. The relevant question is how those groups are defined. The question of who is considered “black” or “white” or “asian” is a political question, not a genetic one. They didn’t give people DNA tests to see who was allowed to drink from white water fountains.

(I think that’s what people mean when they say “race is socially constructed” but I despise academic, clinical language.)

So when black people (as determined by politics not genetics) were left out of the GI bill, the explanatory factor was politics and perceived identification with a group, not actual genetic differences with it.
So we have an analogy:

accidentally working app : correct app :: Gettier "not knowledge" JTB : proper knowledge JTB

Is it possible to backport the program analogy back into the realm of philosophy? I'm dreaming of a philosophy paper along the lines of "Knowledge is JTB with proper testing".
Thank you very much! I will keep that in mind.

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. Israeli slaughter of Arabic people living in Gaza.
Oh hey great! This might be really helpful. I've actually also got an LG TV upstairs, I'll have a peek at this, could be very helpful!
Un val is a small vallée. Une vallée is typically several kilometers wide; un val is a couple of hundred meters wide, tops.

The "Trésor de la langue française informatisé" (which hasn't been updated since 1994) says val is deprecated, but it's common in classic literary novels, together with un vallon, a near synonym.
I could turn around and say "the outcome was bad for people willing to receive all of the benefits of a free-to-travel society in a bustling town but none of the costs." Of course if you say "mass tourism" it's bad, but idk, do you like to travel? If hundreds of thousands want to visit a beautiful town, should we limit supply in a way that makes it impossible for them to visit? There are millions of alternatives (you could ban lyft or cars for non-natives, you could restrict development to a resort and gated community on one part of town, etc) but the whole reason it's called NIMBY is because the only alternative NIMBYs have is freezing a town in amber while claiming a triple lock raise in pensions.

Zoning laws are, for the most part, a mistake. Any solution to housing prices that isn't a boost in supply either leads to scarcity or hideous Danwei-style planning that reaches into peoples life plans and the ability to afford a future.

I recently picked up a refurbed Kobo Forma, and I absolutely love the device -- with the caveat that, like you mentioned, the battery has been completely unreliable.

Multiple times I have picked up the device to find it completely dead, while it was at full battery less than a day ago. I haven't quite narrowed down the cause yet -- since I did install KOReader and Nickel right after getting the device, it's not running stock software, so I'm not certain if the issue is hardware or software related.

It definitely seems to be doing something in sleep mode that's draining the battery, even with wifi turned off. This really shouldn't be the case -- I'd expect close to 0 power being used when not actively refreshing a page. I've recently turned to mitigating the issue by setting the device to turn off completely after an hour... which is not ideal, but having to wait for the thing to boot up is definitely preferable to waiting for it to charge.

It's annoying because otherwise this thing is pretty close to perfect for me -- the form factor is excellent, extremely lightweight, and I can connect to my Calibre-web server and download any ebook I have on demand. I'd seriously consider buying an extra one to crack open and install my own battery if I knew that would fix the issue.

Edit: Lastly, I have a sneaking suspicion that "refurbished" does not mean "replaced with a new battery", which, honestly, should probably be illegal to advertise a device that way vs "used".

'better' is a funny word. Like I said in another post, it's due to a 'banking' revolution called 'shadow bank' (they aren't bank, they cannot print nor destroy money, but I guess it's close enough). From what I saw, its main effect is to decorelate GDP from production. A house sold 200k can produce 400k of GDP over a year if enough intermediaries put their hand in the pie. And I'm just talking about the mortgage here, not the house.

Absolutely not. First, the light seal would be different for each person, making for a subpar experience (an experience you’re paying for). Second, given the germs and potential disease spread via the face/eyes, this seems like a terrible idea unless you were able to sterilize each AVP after each flight, a task that might work for the Bose headphones they put in business class, but that would def be a thing I wouldn’t trust most airlines to do well. Third, you know these things would break all the time, again, leading to a subpar rental experience.

That said, I am a little surprised the Middle Eastern and Asian airlines haven’t adopted these for their international first class cabins (your Singapore Suites, Ethiad Apartments and the private rooms on Emirates).

Not every company trades on P/E. Some trade on EBITDA, others on Revenue. It's a spectrum. The more mature (code for more profitable, lower growth), the more likely it trades on P/E.

Palantir has $0.09 earnings per share. 2023 was the first year they were profitable. So P/E isn't the right metric to look at here.

Also no investor ever trades on _trailing_ metrics. It's all about forward earnings, but 99.999999% of valuation multiples you see online are trailing metrics (or use questionable forward estimates pulled from some aggregate which is also just noise instead of actually diligencing estimates)
I think your hypothesis is correct but your reasoning is wrong. Few people are morbid enough to think "Oh my life sucks so why bother looking after myself". But if you're constantly stressed because you're struggling in life, small indulgences like smoking, alcohol and fast food/sugar are a lot harder to resist as they provide a much needed outlet/release.

> Tests aren't there to just be passed, they're to catch problems

So many developers don't understand this simple concept - it manifests in 2 ways:
1. Not writing tests
2. Writing too many / too specific tests

Testing should always be focussed on the OUTCOMES never the implementation. That's why they're so good for making sure edge cases are covered - since we are able to assert the input and expected outcome of the code. I like to use the mental image that in an ideal world I could put the same tests on a completely separate implementation and it would still pass (mocks/stubs, and implementation specific tests don't pass this).

I'm always far more frustrated by 2 than by 1 - since 2 adds so much unnecessary code / complexity that doesn't need to be there, growing technical debt through the tool that should help us manage it. They make changing implementations painful. And worst of all they think they're doing something correctly and when combined with the sunk-cost fallacy they're incredibly resistant to changing these fucked up tests.

Don't get me wrong 1 is annoying too but he'll at least add the tests when you ask him to and not over engineer everything.

> So what, people should only be able to email you if you've previously emailed them?

No, people should be able to email me as they would normally.

I should be able to block senders, or entire domains. To use a direct example: if I decide that substack is shit because they subscribe people without consent (which is exactly true), then I should be able to block all things from substack and not just a single email address from the domain.

If the spammer is operating within the continental US (or any other country with a reasonable court system), then the spammer should be legally and monetarily liable for the time and money wasted. Everything from the second it takes my server to receive the message, to the second it takes to transmit to my email client, to the multiple seconds it takes me to read the headline and/or body, and the time it takes to press the block button -- the energy costs, the hardware cost, the bandwidth cost, my own time's cost, and the cost of lost confidence in the safety of the internet (just as a thief in your home makes you lose confidence in the safety of your neighborhood) -- all of it should be legally and monetarily liable.

So when that shit substack email puts on a SendGrid or Mailchimp facade, or goes through some Cloudflare or CloudFront or whatever CDN, those "businesses" also get blocked and sued into oblivion because fuck any "business" that doesn't want to own the relationship with their customer, and fuck any "business" whose customer is not the person they're emailing.

So... you want to send me an email? Cool! I hope you will agree that it's legitimate *and wanted*. Because if it's not then I should be able to take you, or your business, to court for wasting my time (and time is money) -- and win on that ground alone.

tl;dr:

Why do I have such a stark view on this, many might ask?

Well let me put it simply: "legitimate" spam is indistinguishable from targeted phishing. So that "unsubscribe" link that people so proudly claim is a great solution? Clicking it does not improve the spam situation and does increase vulnerability to malicious actors. I'm not going to click on that because it doesn't go anywhere that I recognize and can verify. That "unsubscribe" link is worse than a real solution because it's only theatre.
Keep trying! Their server is just a little slow, and can only handle about 1 request per second, gets flooded "sometimes," understandable
Yeah, but my claim was not for Mexico. It was for OECD.
Starlink is better in this regard now. First, the ground station density in the US is really quite good and you're likely to be able to hit a single up/down path through most emergencies. And, second, over the last year they've turned on a lot of inter-satellite links (ISLs). The ISLs have a huge effect on reach -- you can now have a sat terminal in parts of eastern Africa and reach the ground station in Lagos, for example.

(No affiliation with them; I'm working with a Ph.D. student studying this question.)

I'd say that one advantage of ham is that you can operate it on much lower power equipment still - there's no such thing as a starlink HT yet, although we're starting to get close with cell phones with emergency satellite messaging. But starlink has a bandwidth advantage if you need to send photos or tunnel cell. Different capabilities - it's good to have both!

Model Swarms: Collaborative Search to Adapt LLM Experts via Swarm Intelligence
Well said. Reading, debugging, reviewing - provides a nice taxonomy for the things we do with code when we're not writing lines of code. I'd also include time spent in books, forums, and documentation as reading about code; sometimes you need the concepts in plain language.

Given this broader definition of coding, I'd say I do roughly 6 hours a day, with 2 hours spent on email/meetings/etc. The time spent actually writing lines of production code is significant but highly variable - maybe 0 hours for the first week, 25 hours the next. Only when "the road ahead is clear", as you said. So the primary work of software engineer tends to be "clear a path so that I can write code" - which involves reading, debugging, reviewing...
OP never said they liked spaceflight. They also didn't say anything about addressing human needs. They just said "hard tech golden age". So I think you are looking for a fight that isn't there.

But anyway; let's take it at the best case curiosity. I do like spaceflight. Is it a problem to you what people like? Does everything you like specifically address human needs? I find this confusing.

Regardless, all life on Earth is going to die. I see it as a "major human need" to avoid death of our civilization and all other life we know of in the whole universe, if it becomes possible. And it does seem more possible now - because of the advances SpaceX has made with hard rocket tech in the last few years, specifically.

The pagers were sold to Hezbollah. The military objectives achieved were:
a) to prevent the combatants holding the pagers from being able to attack Israel in the future
b) to disrupt the communications of Hezbollah, therefore, making it more difficult for them to coordinate attacks Israel.

Also, the explosives used were weak such that most people near them were maimed rather than killed. Meaning, it is reasonable to assume that alternative methods of eliminating the Hezbollah operatives, such as airstrikes or a ground invasion, would end up with a significantly higher civilian casualty per targeted combatant ratio than what we saw with the pager attack.

> how is the one tax somehow better?

Local and state taxes generally actually help you. Your local infrastructure is maintained, and your kids go to schools funded by your taxes.

Federal taxes, however, are largely transfer payments from the productive to the unproductive, as well as funding wars in areas that have absolutely nothing to do with you.

It's pretty easy to make the distinction between "good" and "bad" taxes.
The space isn’t relevant as per current Wikipedia “The base load[2] (also baseload)”

There’s an even older saying: “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and prove it.”

The article even goes on to use both, while making clear which definition the author is trying to promote: “Power plants that do not change their power output quickly, such as some large coal or nuclear plants, are generally called baseload power plants.[3][5][6]”

In the wider context grid operators don’t actually care about the specific absolute lowest demand number. They need to operate 24/7 for years so whatever the minimum number happens to be for a single second just doesn’t matter much compared to blackouts and other extreme situations. Bottom 5th percentile matters from an economic standpoint, but very temporary extremes only matter in terms of resiliency.

I don't intend to defend Automattic's shitty behavior at all, it's indisputably shitty and I take offense at your suggestions that I may think otherwise, as I never gave you any reason to believe that.

That said, you clearly seem to be confused about the nature of the issue being fixed there. It's clear from the existing code that the contract between this function and the callback getting executed is that the callback is expected to execute in a kind of a sanitized environment with restricted execution abilities.

You can argue that it's a really weak sandbox and that the whole design is smelly, and I'll agree with you. However, that's how this code was designed and that's what users are running on their servers, and that's how they expect it to behave. It prevents the callback from calling functions with `wp_` prefix and it disallows it from reading or making changes to user's POST data.

Now, if you find a way to circumvent those restrictions, it's an obvious security issue. Someone may have deployed some code that relied on that contract, and now that contract is known to be invalid (it always had been, but it wasn't known before). Therefore, stopping that from happening is a security fix.

It may be a poor fix - and in fact, this one is, as it's incomplete. But it's a fix. The upstream project recognized that and applied a similar, but a bit more thorough approach in its repo:

https://github.com/AdvancedCustomFields/acf/commit/a60034f8a...

It does exactly what the change we're discussing does, plus a bit more.

You still wouldn't convince me that it's a bulletproof sandbox and I already have some other ideas in my head on how it could potentially be circumvented after reading that code (though my PHP is so rusty I may very well be wrong), but the change in question is clearly a security fix, recognized and applied by both Automattic and WP Engine and I really can't understand why you're so keen on implying otherwise. As I already said, it only made your other (good) points seem weaker.
Custom code will be compiled to Wasm so it's sandboxed for security purposes. First-party code that ships with Graphite, or perhaps trusted authors in the future, will be able to use non-Wasm native code on desktop. But Wasm is still a very high percentage of native speed.
