Except only the first case can be written without quotes. It should have quotes, but it is valid without them. When you have two or more words, quotes are required to denote the words to quote. Only in the single word case can quotes be omitted without ambiguity.

> Who is the “our” that owns Linux?

Well, the Linux Foundation which owns the Linux® trademark and employs the primary maintainer is based in the US:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Foundation

Some of the most active contributer employers are Intel, Google, Linaro, AMD, Red Hat, SuSE, Meta, Oracle, Qualcomm, IBM, NVIDIA, TI, Arm, Microsoft:

* https://lwn.net/Articles/972605/

* https://kernelnewbies.org/DevelopmentStatistics

which are based in countries that have Russia on a sanctions list. The main contributer employer based in a country that doesn't have Russia on some list is Huawei.

So given those folks contribute the most code to Linux, they may not want possible complications with regards to possible legal issues.
HathiTrust was ... nearly this.

Until it too was emasculated.

No it doesn't. Why would relationships matter? You handle the relationships in SQL queries, and just copy query results to structs.
A better and more informative (albeit older) article can be found here: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/05/congress-ev-charger...

According to this article, while the chargers are funded by the federal government, the actual projects are administered by the states. So not so much a problem with the Biden administration as it is a problem with state governments.

Really appreciate informative comments like this, basically explaining from first principles and not assuming people are idiots for not immediately understanding the implications.

It also made me realise what a cushy, insular world I live in not having to worry about those threats when I write software. Made me more aware of what others might face.
Although I downvoted you, I admit having a grudging admiration for people like you who are openly and smugly conceited. Honestly, that's much better than those who hide their real sentiment in a cloak of high-emotional IQ yet sociopathic virtue signaling obfuscation.

What makes the Samsung Z Fold Special Edition unique?
Many parts of the US government have an egalitarian mission. Beyond USFS, there's the parks, flood insurance, education programs, grant making organizations (as people on this forum are very very aware of), land management and more.

You can object to the overall non-profit egalitarian mission (and I do in many cases) but it's not unique to the forest service.

Time for this to stop being a shock. The country needs some harsh belt tightening and stories like these will become commonplace if real reform is practiced.
You can be pedantic if you like, but this is obviously not what anyone means by "ORM".
“People that do not want to work” is code for businesses not paying a living wage, forcing people to work multiple jobs to make rent with no health insurance

Let me ask you, would you put in 110% for an employer that would pay you less if they were legally allowed to?
Right, but having used assembler and C/C++ before has made me a better programmer, even if I choose to work with a more high level language day to day so I'm more productive.
Even North Korea runs their own Linux Distribution ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_OS )
Yes. While it's true that most EV owners now are relatively affluent, there are a lot of sub-$10K used EVs on the market and if chargers are available in disadvantaged communities, those used EVs become a much more viable option.
I kind of agree with this. Data in a database is often relational (hey it might not be, but it's still nice to represent it in a struct sometimes, rather than 10–20 different variables which can change anytime your database changes).

I've been using Go recently, and while I'm not convinced on an active-record style ORM in Go (I don't think the language is dynamic enough, and I'm not the biggest fan of codegen), I've been loading the row data from Postgres into a Result struct (pretty much a 1:1 mapping of the Postgres result set into the struct), and then using another function to load the Result struct into struct with their relationships attached (using tags on the structs to define the relationships between them). This has worked great using reflections & generics.
I think they're using better processes than evaporation these days. For example, concentrating the brine using reverse osmosis first.

I hate Authy since the day CTRL+C stopped working. That was 10 years ago or so? Why can’t I copy the code via a shortcut? Why do you force me to move my mouse and press the copy button?

I still use Authy but I don’t keep track of it now and I’d switch in a heartbeat.

Now it’s an iOS app running inside MacOS?

Sometimes when TouchID doesn’t work (or it just doesn’t offer it after a timeout) I need to enter a PIN on a numpad to unlock Authy.

Guess what? It doesn’t register my keyboard, so I have to use my mouse again to click some buttons on the numpad.

Seriously?!

It is one pissible solution - just as one possible solution for theft is abolishing private property. If there's no property, nobody could steal anything. But it's not the only solution. There are many other ways - such as not employing the services of rent seekers, for example - that do not require government involvement. In some markets, this solution is blocked - usually by, guess what, goverment regulations - but as far as I can see, no goverment forces academia to elevate Elseveir to its pedestal.

Is the HCAIP funded by newspaper or TV companies, by any chance?

There are certainly good reasons to be concerned about tech companies, who are pretty much uniformly becoming politically active (the Facebook-Google-Amazon-Apple axis being an especial concern, they seem to be relatively politically homogenous). But the new is still strictly better than the old; the combination of radio/newspaper/TV produces an unreasonable amount of misinformation (and government officials, for that matter).

The energy issue is a joke. We have had a massive shift from the 90s to today where the political system was set to prioritise environmental concerns above energy security. Even if it materialises a lack of energy has nothing at all to do with tech companies.

And political fracturing looks like it is mostly due to demographic pressure. Better communication is more likely helping than harming - if nothing else now we hear about the genocides instead of them being quietly swept under the rug. Facebook doesn't cause genocide, racialists cause genocides.

I'm predominantly a backend Python Web developer, and I implemented a match 3 engine in Pygame.

See example gifs on my blog here: https://johnscolaro.xyz/blog/pygame-match-3

When I say "match3", I don't mean "candy crush" style, I mean more like "YMBAB" or "chuzzle style".

The main learning I had was how much more "stateful" a game is vs something like the backend of a webserver. I'm used to writing code with no/few side effects, but when you're juggling 50+ gems in different states of falling/idle/ exploding, different frames of animation, and different states of user input, it made me thing differently about state, testing, and probably exposed me a little to the problems gave devs grapple with day-to-day.

I have a lot more respect for the original creators of these slightly modified match 3 games like "Chuzzle".
The article clearly lists multiple "careers" including biologists, timber workers and maintenance staff.

The only reason they're not careers now and are forced to be seasonal hires is due to ongoing defunding of the forest service over decades

That wont work with real science. Math requires the process which he describes. As do algorithms.

In my experience it’s same with gym, lifting weights slightly too difficult.

The least productive method that Ive used with very little results is jumping to problems almost impossible for me. It did absolutely nothing.
It really is correct though and 2 years is a pretty extensive time for the state to basically do nothing to stop it.
I was responding to salawat's comment which has nothing to do with Facebook. They were implying that if information is public it is always OK for it to be promptly and widely distributed.

Yeah the comment reads as originating from a person who has never tried to sell something. You need to ask to get attention
The mission of the USFS is not to "maintain a bunch of wilderness". Its mission, and the reason is is under the Dept. of Agriculture, is to provide forest products in perpetuity to Americans.
I see a lot of things that the Forest Service does listed but I don’t see the purpose of why they do them.

For example, this quote is not a mission, “The U.S. Forest Service is a federal agency that manages 193 million acres of land, an area about the size of Texas.”

It might be part of what they do to accomplish their mission, but it’s not a mission.

Could you quote the part of the article that makes their mission clear?
I like this website, even though the numbers are a few years old:

For basically all future years, an even greater proportion (more than two thirds) of federal government spending will be for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid (old and sick and poorer people).
Orthogonally related to the article, I think it gets to the deeper issue at hand with regulating technology:

The internet connects everyone and allows for free-flow of information, free-flow information is eroding people's trust.

We want free speech, but people use words to deceive and coerce. You can't make rules to stop this - people will always find ways around them.

Ken Thompson wrote "Reflections on Trusting Trust" in 1984 (fitting as it may be). The conclusion being that we can't rely on computers to build trust. But we need trust to live in a society.

It's human instinct trust one another. But falsehoods spread fast online, and after being fooled so many times, people are losing their natural trust in others.

What's the way forward? I'm curious what this crowd thinks.
A bad actor with access to peoples private data from Facebook, Google, or Apple could probably blackmail a large fraction of politicians, globally. Someone with unchecked access to peoples private communications would have nearly unimaginable levels of power. It would also be fairly easy for these companies themselves to cover their tracks enough that it would be impossible to prove it wasn't a rogue employee or outside hacker acting alone.

We already had "the Fappening" when iCloud was compromised, but I feel if someone did something similar and kept the data private for blackmail purposes, we'd probably never hear about it.

Am I missing something here about how this wouldn't actually be possible? Frankly, I'd be surprised if it isn't already happening.
USFS received $9.23B in 2024. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF12396/3

Why does it need to be profitable to exist? Why does it need to generate income? Why can’t we be fine with subsidizing and paying for wilderness and public transportation?

If hacking or subversion is possible, it has been tried and will be again. If anyone is going to try it, chances are Putin's people will.

It's by far the sneakiest, most advanced cheating and infiltration apparatus humanity has ever known. It inherited a large "meddling war chest" from the Soviet Union, then invested heavily into it for 25 years. The Internet increased its opportunities a million-fold. Its semitransparent tentacles are now embedded into nearly every consequential organization on the planet.

Consider the xz episode as a baseline. It was fairly sneaky, but it was introduced by a newcomer to the project and affected mostly existing code. A more elaborate exploit might be submitted with a new feature by an established maintainer.
All National Forests have a forestry plan that involves selling a certain amount of timber cut from the forest every year.

However, forest recreation (which obviously requires the forests to still have trees) also generates a lot of money — both for the local economy around the forest and via things like permits for the government itself.

Basically the goal is to maintain the forests as long term assets, not sell them off in one go.
I do wonder why the USFS hasn't been rolled into the Dept. of the Interior alongside e.g. the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service. Putting it under the Dept. of Agriculture (as it is now) seems like it'd lead to some perverse incentives, and the overlap in mission and jurisdiction between the USFS and the BLM and NPS seems like it'd produce administrative/managerial redundancies (the cost of which would be better spent on the very jobs being cut right now).
It's neat to see how people have been able to collect and save all sorts of information about older chipsets which makes projects like this possible.

I've often wondered about how to re-solve certain problems now that we have decades of hindsight. For instance, your BIOS doesn't boot from CDs or from large disks. So what do we do? We make a disk image (vnd on BSD and whatever the equivalent on Linux make this so easy) and install an old fashioned BIOS boot block. We have a small 40 megabyte or so FAT-16 filesystem (FAT-32 wasn't a thing until 1996), on which we have a kernel, such as NetBSD because NetBSD can still run on 486 systems without fuss.

The kernel, once loaded, knows how to access large disks, CDs, or even mount a filesystem over NFS. We then use that system to disklabel / fdisk the rest of the disk, format an FFS filesystem and swap, and install our OS. Simple, right?

But how do we get this image on to an 80486 system? We really shouldn't lose to history the kinds of tools that let us boot from floppy. NetBSD still can, even though it takes something like six of them.

Since the i80486 has no management engine, running an open source BIOS would make it fully, 100% open. Interesting... Will my next email server be an i80486 system? It's worth considering.
> Software has completely eroded property rights.

This is a great topic to discuss right after you accept the End-User License Agreement and Terms of Service.
> Software has completely eroded property rights. I believe someone has coined the term "techno feudalism". Corporations own the software and us serfs merely lease it.

I think that's reversed - that's property rights being stronger than ever. "Own things forever and just rent them out" is NOT a weak formulation of property rights from the point of view of the producers of those things.
