Ah, so it's an anti-caste thing?
I don't know what makes you say that. Requiring a bit of market research from project proponents does not mean excluding anything lightweight or just new. What you don't want is some company being contracted because it talked to you first by whatever channel rather than as a result of some reasoned assessment.
I think it's caused by lack of knowledge, as you said, lack of managing capabilities, most of them doesn't know accounting, say reading a balance, cash flows, asn something worst, I've seen, that in retail where cash is abundant, some people do not understand that this money is not theirs, is borrowed money by the suppliers.
Getting people to respect that is even harder. And in most cases it isn't even actionable.
Self-Effacing Ends
Expanding on this with more free time in hand:

Specifically, Discovery's rotating section revolves around the ship's longitudinal axis; if we extend that axis to define "north" and "south" poles for the forward sphere (so that the "north pole" sticks out the forwardmost "nose" of the ship, in the direction of cruising flight and opposite the main engines), then the rotating section lies just within the sphere's "equator," to which the pseudogravity vector is normal.

Notably, this is behind ("south" of) the flight deck and pod bay, both of which are in microgravity, necessitated by the design constraint that both must communicate directly with the outside - the pod bay via its hatches, and the flight deck via forward windows - which a rotating section internal to the ship's hull cannot feasibly do, hence the absence of windows there. (Launching pods at several meters per second directly away from the ship would also be less than ideal.)

Movement between the static and rotating sections of the ship would be achieved by an axial corridor similar to that used by a flight attendant aboard the lunar shuttle earlier in the film, and would mostly be unnecessary by design in the cruising regime of flight. Hence HAL's bay also being outside the rotating section - not because any design or engineering constraint obviously requires this placement, but because the human astronauts aboard the ship are simply not required or even encouraged to inhabit that volume in any but the most exceptional of circumstances.
1) You don't need a single theory to fit all the evidence — some sightings might be unrelated to others.

2) You don't need a theory to fit all the evidence since, undoubtedly, not all the evidence is accurate. A theory that fit most of the evidence is adequate.

3) We all know people and even photos lie. That gives us quite a bit of leeway to be dismissive of sightings and official responses as well.
It’s as pointless as the war on drugs. Drugs won and the draconian laws in a futile attempt to enforce prohibition just make people miserable. They poison their DNS and then what? Hop on a VPN and you can be from anywhere and use any DNS server. All the traffic from the pirate content undernet is basically between VPN providers at this point.

What made piracy come down? Plentiful availability of content at reasonable prices. What happened when the streaming market fragmented and content houses went to walled gardens? Piracy resurged.
I've been using them for years and I've never had a problem with them, and when threads like these pop up it's usually people yelling about boycotts and how it's completely crazy that this can happen while completely ignoring the response from Hetzner themselves saying they gave this customer one month notice.

This is a very hackeresque, blinkers-on response.

Your idea may work for technical systems used by technical users, but in this case (and I'd bet my bottom dollar most cases are similar) that the products are intended for non-technical end users.

How is some random family supposed to take the public repository of source code and set it up so their child's emotional support robot works? How is your middle-aged neighbour supposed to set up their Nest doorbell with someone else's server and establish trust? How is your aunt supposed to set their Alexa speaker to a self-hosted server? These are people who call a desktop computer a 'CPU'. Put yourself in their shoes, their IT skills are basically 0. Where would they host the compiled code? How would they even know where to start?

The intention is certainly good and it would be an improvement, but it would not allow consumers - most of whom are buying an appliance - to continue using their products. Would it really also push investors and managers to pause? It's a non-monetary impact and I can't imagine they'd allocate any effort building systems that package it up so that it's simple to stand up the cloud services. It has no benefit to them.

Most consumers aren't hackers/developers. Most are non-technical. Implicit in the purchase of a cloud-connected appliance is an expectation that some geeks somewhere make everything Just Work for them. They're not looking to have to tweak (digital) knobs and configure parameters - that's the company's job. That's why so many of these sorts of devices are designed with very simple user interfaces.

Your suggestion is good within the narrow window of technical systems for technical consumers, but this is a far tougher nut to crack than that when considering the broader audience.
My daily IDE is Jetbrains PyCharm/PhpStorm with Tabnine for autocomplete/chat and Jetbrains AI for commit messages (I am that lazy).

I use Cursor IDE with composer for AI stuff. Switch back to Jetbrains git for diff view where I check and edit the changes. I try to spend as less time as possible in VSCode.

I hope there will be a Jetbrains variant of Cursor soon. Deleting VSCode will be the happiest day of my life.

You’re making the common mistake of confusing the copyleft vs. permissive distinction with the free software vs. open source distinction.

GPL is copyleft. MIT, BSD etc. are permissive. But all of those are both free software and open source, which are essentially synonyms.

The reason so many people get confused by this is that some of the people who prefer copyleft licenses (notably the FSF) also tend to prefer the term “free software”, for philosophical reasons.

I always try to respond if I get an email in a personal capacity asking for advice and the person doesn't seem to be trying to sell me on something, scam me or otherwise ruin my day. Sometimes I'm a bit snowed under so it takes me a while to dig out my inbox and get to replying but I always try to.

In your specific example I wolud absolutely respond if someone needed a bit of help getting a job or whatever but I would be wary. I have had people pretend that is the case and then they are actually trying to sell me some offshore development team or whatever. So sadly I have to be a bit more guarded than I would normally like.
Great post! It's super interesting getting into the weeds here.
> Where lies the line between normal advice and medical advice?

In part it has to do with risk and knowledge of context. In a normal clinical setting, gathering of context is an important prerequisite of advice-giving, or treatment. “Drink lots of water.” might be unsound advice in persons with renal failure, congestive heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, etc.
Agree that the case you cite seems a little extreme; but I think the blurry line is somewhere around risk and context.
That might be true of devs who spend all day inside Slack and Jira at work and Discord/messengers at home.

It's definitely not true of people with budgets to spend. Email is still king.

> We would not stand for the same arbitrary exclusion of certain (again, legal) parts of society from any other infrastructure provider, be it transport, electricity, water, etc.

Except, we do accept it.

The article even points out that part of the energy sector is debanked, linking to https://www.barrons.com/articles/debanking-hurts-everyone-51... wherein we read "Most recently, Bank of America joined five other major American banks to say it will not fund any oil and gas efforts in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, even though the federal government has opened it to exploration and production."

https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/US-Pauses... says it was because the banks were worried about "the reputational consequences of providing lending to oil and gas projects in sensitive areas".

> Banks are protected by governments

And in return banks are required to limit risk. They can't dump it all on red at the casino and expect the Feds to pay back any loss.

As the linked-to piece comments "crypto is sketchy, prone to wild swings in value, and too much institutional investment in it would seem to pose a structural risk to whichever bank was dumb enough to do so.".

> if selling weed is legal where the company operates

That specific one is a theoretical example as there is no place in the US where selling weed is legal. Even when there is no state law there is a federal law prohibiting it.

> This should be enshrined in law.

I hope you realize that the law would have to be complex. Consider how a bank may allow any (legal) account but limit it to a max transfer of $50,000/week in order to ensure sufficient stability, which the crypto brethren would find overly restrictive.

Some people report erratic motion of the objects which you wouldn't expect from a normal plane or helicopter.

If the lights on the things are blinking, I have a possible explanation for the erratic motion.

I've found that if I'm in a dark place with a green LED that is blinking and there is not enough light to see anything but the LED then the LED appears to jump around erratically.

I'll see it come on and go off and I'm sure that I am continuing to stare at the now off LED but when it comes on it is somewhere else. If I'm about 40 cm from the LED it can appear to have jumped up to maybe 15-20 cm.

It can be quite disconcerting if there is a series of apparent jumps in the same direction, because each time I have to move my eyes/head in the same direction to recenter the LED, and after 4 or 5 jumps it feels like I should be turned significantly but I can tell that I'm actually still looking mostly straight ahead.

If I arrange for their to be some faint light in the closet so that I can see even hints of the other things in there when the LED is off then I can actually keep staring at the LED's position.

I believe this phenomenon is due to saccades [1]. Our eyes normally jump around randomly when we are looking at things. We can override that and force ourselves to stare at a point. My guess is that we need some reference in the field of view to focus our attention on to be able to do an override.

I'd guess that this same effect could happen with a blinking object in a dark sky.

I have no knowledge of the players and their comparative credibility, but this “ethical challenges” piece sure makes Keyu Tian out to be an insanely talented intern. Sabotaging pytorch source code via random seeds? Understanding that Docker containers were not version controlled? Stealing corp GPU time for personal projects? Setting up login backdoors?

All this as an intern? That’s one multi-talented evil genius if true.
Pretty much, yes. And if there are multiple, then it uses the matching element closest to the last one it interacted with. Much like a human.
You don't need to remember 300 openings. Remembering openings is the most straight forward thing to study - you just need to remember them and then select in game as your opponent gets a choice as to which of those 300 you are playing as well. That is hard to do in practice, but it is easy to explain.

For most people you are better off ignoring all that though. Instead you should train tactics and endgames. Both are easy enough to explain, but it isn't useful to just memorize them. You have to see when they apply even though there are other unrelated pieces on the board. You have to see when they apply even though the pieces are in slightly different positions from what you studied. You have to see how they will apply after complex sequence of moves even though they don't apply yet.
I think the causality might go the other way. They can't "pull" people in person because they spend all their time on OnlyFans. Talking to and charming people is a skill you can develop, not an immutable characteristic.
The biggest feature gap I noticed was the lack of hooks. Using Gerrit requires a commit hook to insert the change ID. jj's docs mention this specific use case, but their workaround (using a custom commit msg editor command that wraps vim) feels hacky.

Didn't bother looking further into it, not sure if this is a technical or ideological choice. Otherwise it reminded me about all the best parts of mercurial and git branchless. Pretty excited to get Fig-esque features in my external projects.

People would do well to keep in mind the episode of drone hysteria which happened at Gatwick airport in 2018. Hundreds of sightings were reported over a period of several days, shutting down the airport completely.

It was a massive media event, camera crews from every outlet were at the airport, but none ever photographed a drone. None of the radar systems at the airport, nor the military anti-drone systems sent later on, ever picked up anything.

In this article, a professional drone photographer describes mistaking a helicopter for a drone:

> But when he opened up the image on his computer, ready to send to his editors, he realised he’d made a mistake. The image did not show a drone. It was a helicopter hovering 10 miles away; between the darkness and the distance, his eyes had played a trick on him. “If I’m making a mistake – and I fly drones two or three times a week – then God help us, because others will have no idea,” he said. He called police to retract his reported sighting.

Totally. It's a hard rut to get out of. But it's a skill that can be learned like any other.

For me, I'm a bit of a screen junkie with social anxiety. One of my blockers was negative self-talk. I would think, "They're going to get angry. They're going to ignore you. They're busy. You're going to waste their time."

I started replacing that with images of the person being interested and delighted by the interaction. That helped, but I also knew that wasn't realistic if I just walked up and blurted out, "Hi, I'm an isolated remote dev and I'd like to talk." Someone might be sympathetic, but I didn't want sympathy; I wanted people to have fun. So I started using the techniques I mentioned.

This can all be learned from books on small talk, personality psychology, social dynamics, etc. But unfortunately, it's rarely talked about or taught, at least in my circles. And people are suffering as a consequence.

I don't really understand what your point is, but shareware has never been "open source".

Nobody's arguing that public domain code, or the MIT, or whatever is not open source; it's obviously open source because it's _more_ free than the GPL.

Sure, devs can call any "source available" project "open source" because it gets people interested even though you have zero interest in using an open source development model or allowing others to make changes to the code. Devs can also expect well deserved flak from people who understand that "open source" is not marketing speak.

Absolutely.

Nepo and Magnus seem to be cut from a different cloth, although Magnus has never had a moment where he could demonstrate whether or not he can be humble, because he has always just crushed.

Anish Giri kind of took a shot at Magnus (with respect to his retiring from classical chess) in his early commentary with Petr Leko a few days ago. People are funny, and one doesn't usually get to be where Ding and Gukesh are without having a bit of an edge to their personality. That's what makes Ding and Gukesh so special to me.

Others have responded with great answers that are prolly spot on to your question about "Tech Tools". I'll just add in accounting services for small businesses, there are a lot of software and service solutions aimed at the sole-proprietor, and not _designed to scale_ past one or two business entities. So much so that speaking with service support as one person among four business management and four operations managers, I'm often addressed as the owner ('your company'), or they want to send a 2FA text message to your phone (as if there was one mobile phone number). Their default is to assume they're dealing with an owner. To scale means to just double or triple everything--accounts, logins, which leads to the confusion about whose 2FA is really being used. ha!
If you work with third party stuff

1 you might get invalid json or xml from an API

2 an API might timeout

3 an image will just crash your backend script with no way to catch the error because some bug in the image encoder/decoder you use to resize the image

4 some user browser extension inserts garbage in the requests, you need to check for it and tell the user what is wrong, otherwise same complains reach support "stuff is broken" and support needs to contact developers to check and report back that stuff was corrupted by an extension , most of the time security crap that inserts stuff everywhere

5 I had cases where an API wwas returning soem string before the real result, it was much faster to check for this case and fix it, then have the customer contact their hosting or the author of the plugin that was adding that string before each response.
