Doesn't matter if it's coding error or not, the blame lies with the people executing the firings and those ordering them; blaming it on code is a way to shirk responsibilities.

I get that within a software development project, blaming on individuals isn't a healthy way to deal with bugs, but this extends beyond just loss of revenue or uptime and well into personal tragedies.
Which elements of the Open Source Definition does SQLite fail to meet?
> Photo editing software needs to specifically support not just each manufacturer’s file type but also make changes for each new camera that shoots it

You mean, your proprietary, closed-source Photo-editing sofware?

Why can't the vendors of that shit just make a library that they all share ...
if it's your software you can simply sell them a proprietary license separately
Looking at the sparse documentation of openrsync does not create any confidence for me that it can be an acceptable substitute for rsync.

In my opinion, any program that is supposed to copy files, but which is not able to make perfect copies, i.e. copies that do not lose any bit of data or metadata that was present in the original file, is just unusable garbage.

Unfortunately, most copying programs available in UNIX-like operating systems (and also many archiving programs) do not make perfect file copies with their default options and many of them are never able to make perfect copies, regardless what options are used.

I have not looked recently at the scp command of ssh, but at least until a few years ago it was not possible to make perfect file copies with scp, especially when the copies were done between different operating systems and file systems. That is why I never use scp, but only rsync over ssh.

Rsync is the only program that I have seen, which is able (with the right options) to make perfect file copies even between different operating systems and file systems (for instance between FreeBSD with UFS and Linux with XFS), preserving also metadata like extended file attributes, access control lists and high-precision file timestamps (some copying programs and archiving programs truncate high-precision timestamps).

The current documentation of openrsync does not make any guarantee that it can make complete file copies, so by default I assume that it cannot, so for now it is a program that I consider useless.

Beside rsync for copying, one of the few Linux archiving programs that can archive perfect file copies is bsdtar (when using the pax file format; the ancient tar and cpio file formats cannot store all modern file metadata).

(FYI: I always alias rsync to '/usr/bin/rsync --archive --xattrs --acls --hard-links --progress --rsh="ssh -p XXX -l YYYYYYY"')

(With the right CLI options, "cp" from coreutils can make perfect file copies, but only if it has been compiled with appropriate options; some Linux distributions compile coreutils with wrong options, e.g. without extended file attributes support, in which case "cp" makes only partial file copies, without giving any warnings or errors.)
Key to Dreamer’s success, says Hafner, is that it builds a model of its surroundings and uses this ‘world model’ to ‘imagine’ future scenarios and guide decision-making.

Can you look at the world model, like you can look at Waymo's world model? Or is it hidden inside weights?

Machine learning with world models is very interesting, and the people doing it don't seem to say much about what the models look like. The Google manipulation work talks endlessly about the natural language user interface, but when they get to motion planning, they don't say much.
Yeah the trouble with healthcare is it's secure if you're willing to work the shifts. Even dentists are often working long hours and on weekends etc. (although I don't think night shift is a thing). Even the best doctor will struggle to find a 9-5 that they leave on time every day. Swings and roundabouts.
Trump was taking about tariffs, but nobody thought he’d take them this far, this fast.

To be fair, it makes sense that if his…plan… is going to work, he needs to get in it quickly. 4 years isn’t a long period of time and if the country doesn’t recover economically before then the next president will absolutely just undo whatever he did.

Even the midterms are a time limit. If things are bad enough then it would absolutely get people to vote for those that’ll take the power of tariffs back out of the president’s hands and back into congress’s.

It’s actually kind of a big flaw with our system as a whole. Countries like China can do more long-term plans without worrying about silly things like electability. In this case, in theory I think Trump is right to wave our big economic stick around. In reality it won’t work because everyone can just wait for his time to be up. Even if countries negotiate there’s no reason to think they won’t reneg in 5 years.
> price.checked_mul(quantity)

nope, I won't do that. I'd rather waste away at a bank using early 2000s oracle forms . Make it a compiler flag, detect it statically or gtfo.
Fun fact: Canadian healthcare system, which generally tends to be the envy of US liberals, originated on provincial level and is still run primarily by the provinces.
I think the longer the US waits the relatively weaker it becomes, so the sooner the better from that point of view.

I think many people in the US, and almost everyone in Europe, has not really woken up to the extent to which their economic clout has diminished over the last few years.

People go into denial about this, as it undermines their worldview, but if you look at west vs rest GDP the change over the last few decades is huge.
Thank you for taking the time. There is certainly similarity with notebooks. However, the notebook is only a part. For example, the notebooks are part of a knowledge base. They are multi-language.

But the more interesting bit comes from how you can extend the environment to make it fit the context of your problem. For example, a prominent way to extend is by creating contextual inspector views for different objects.

When taken as a whole, we end up with a new kind of a development experience that is centered around contextualizing the environment as part of development. It turns out that this is applicable to a wide range of problems.

For example, the talk video from the page shows examples from several domains:
- it starts by browsing the file system of a React project and then querying the external dependencies from a package.json
- then it goes into static analysis of React components and their dependencies
- then it shows how to explore the data of a REST API and document its usage
- then it goes to work with GraphQL and show how to combine it with imperative code to explore data; and even here, we go a step deeper and answer the question of how the tool worked (i.e., what query was sent to the server when we do not specify pagination completely)
- then it shows how we can work with Python by extending the inspector with Python code
- then it shows how we can also change the editing experience as well and make it contextual
- then it shows how we can document a domain model through executable examples that when combined with contextual views become documentation
- then it shows how to work with the knowledge base and even post live to a social media from it through a dedicated snippet
- then it shows how we can explain a Docker setup and how the commands were derived from templates
- then it shows again social media interactions but this time by browsing posts in inspectors and querying the feed live
- and finally it shows how we can have a dedicated editor for configurations defined in JSON that know how to highlight, complete and navigate based on the schema information

Now, these are not features; they are just some ways you can use the environment for without the need for switching. The book from the environment shows even more such examples for inspiration. Each of these might look similar to some tool somewhere, but the possibility to have all of them in the same environment made out of the same pieces combined in many ways is the differentiator.

Does this help in any way?
But what you are saying is only true if your measure of poverty is GDP per capita, which is not very good when comparing different levels of inequality or different public policies. Are you sure your claim stands up when you look at things like food insecurity, access to health services and education, percentage of unhoused or under houser...
Yeah, this is one of those red flags that keeps getting hand-waved away, but really shouldn't be.

Well "libressl" doesn't sound like an open-source rewrite of the proprietary "openssl" :-).

I don't really get the point about libtls, though.

But I get it, OpenBSD has been using Open* as a prefix for many projects, I didn't know it :-).
Interestingly, Cucumber (with its Gherkin syntax) works quite well for detailed and structured prompting to LLMs.
The prohibition on using it for evil[1] violates guidelines #5 and #6. And more generally, OSI argues[2] that "public domain" != "open source".

[1]: https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/master/LICENSE.md
[2]: https://opensource.org/blog/public-domain-is-not-open-source
There is no Open Source software that is not free, if we are using the OSI definition of Open Source. FOSS just adds a certain emphasis for reasons of the historic tension between the FSF/GNU "free software" advocates and the "open source" advocates. FOSS doesn't mean that OSS is not free without the F.

There are a few twits out there who believe (or at least troll) that proprietary software whose source code is available is "open source". So FOSS provides the minor and largely unnecessary benefit of making it clear that it's not that.
>A peculiarity of US law vs others is it follows letter-of-the-law vs spirit-of-the-law.

This is not close to true. The US legal system has many bizarre quirks (like elected judges, elected prosecutors, and a politicised judiciary) but this isn't one of them. It is a basic requirement of the rule of law that statutes are construed from their text, and not given meaning based on what judges wish their text instead was. People have the right to be able to have some level of certainty about what the law says.
1) OSI says that public domain and open source are not the same thing ("Here’s why it’s a mistake to treat the two terms as synonyms"), not that public domain software cannot be open source.

2) It is simply not true that the SQLite distribution terms "contain[] a prohibition on using it for evil". That is not in the text you linked.
> the LICENSE.md contains a prohibition on using it for evil

No it doesn’t and now I feel like you’re trying to waste my time on purpose. It contains a “blessing” exhorting (i.e., requesting) people not to do evil, not a “prohibition” of any kind.
The saved money and the payroll for new money are both in dollars per year, not one-time costs. So the additional premium needs to be 10%, not 5%, to erase the benefits, and it doesn't matter how many years you look at.

(I'm ignoring one-time costs like severance pay and signing/relocation bonuses which I don't think were the point of your message, and also the elasticity effect where you can pay existing workers the same even if it costs more to hire new ones. And I agree with your point in general that this is not a sensible way to save money, I just think your numbers are wrong).
Even if I’m convinced of that and installed a few…Not for tomorrow that’s for sure!
Can you give me one open-source license that is not "free software"?
There's no such country. Authoritarianism is always around the corner, because the only thing that really prevents society from slipping into it is broad social consensus that it's undesirable, and you can't guarantee that it will remain long term. Constitutions etc fundamentally are just pieces of paper; they matter only to the extent people choose to believe they do.

Most likely because it all multi-threaded code access in-memory data structures, internal to the process memory, the only scenario in multi-threaded systems that Rust has some support for.

Make those threads access external resources simultaneously, or memory mapped to external writers, and there is no support from Rust type system.

Do you want to attract talent or people who take anything they can get? People who know what they're worth aren't going to waste investing their time into an employer who can't even guarantee that they'll still have a job next week.

Mundane government employees are some of the most dedicated workers I've met. There's a deep array of jobs that aren't flashy but are foundational and depend on staff who can build up long institutional knowledge.
> Fired federal workers typically do not get a severance. Those impacted by the recent reductions in force are not receiving severance packages.

Not true: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/pay-admi...

This is separate from the deferred resignation plan DOGE was offering. Under that plan employees voluntarily resigned and continued being employed for approximately 8 months, with full pay and benefits and no duties. They were free to go get another job during that time. That is more generous than most layoffs.

The pension / relocation are real issues, but if you work in a job that has a demand in the private sector (e.g. Treasury department going to finance), the increased pay from the private sector often more than makes up for the loss of the pension.
Indeed. Which is why I said:

> Do these nationalists always dismantle their nation

That's a very interesting premise.

I can think of a few counterexamples (Franco in Spain, for all the atrocities committed by his regime, Spain unquestionably progressed economically), but in general yes, nationalists are disasters when in power. Of course it doesn't help that often, especially nowadays, the nationalism is just a wrapper for a bunch of grifters that say whatever is needed to get into power (Farage, Le Pen, Trump, Orban, PiS, Putin). So they're just gifting for personal benefit (which explains the dismantling), advertised as nationalism because that convinces the masses.
> Do we actually want "I just want a stable job" people being a significant part of the federal governments workforce?

Yes, if you can't offer someone market rates then you need to offer them other things to fill that void. Stability is one of them, and is actually a good thing in government, when politics is so volatile. If the workforce is fired every time a new party comes into power, you don't have a stable government.

Working with those constraints, you _can_ improve things, by building better systems and processes, that better use the resources you have. That's far better long term, but it's not as fast and does not generate headlines for DOGE.
VC++ checked iterators are fast enough for my use cases, not everyone is trying to win a F1 race when having to deal with C++ written code.
He has literally been taking about this since the 80’s.

Believe it or not, it’s entirely possible that he’s doing things because he thinks they’re good for the country and its people. Hell, considering he’s not a career politician it’s probably generally more likely he’s doing it for those reasons than most in his position.

Precisely, and more worrying, it may mean that tariffs implemented that way may only be effective if they are permanent. But once Trump is gone, the next administration will most likely drop the tariffs or at least scale back significantly. Which means that the market could be set for a much harder, much more durable crash. Tariffs are also a double-edged sword in the sense that all other nations will also boost their domestic production. This boost in production will remain even while tariffs are dialed back. Momentum alone will create uncertainty as to the nature of the world economy. We're in for a very rough ride.
What would you suggest? I mean, we have a legitimate government that has been duly elected in what everyone broadly recognizes were free and fair elections. It just happens to be a government of crazies and grifters who our neighbors genuinely believe can save the country (whatever that means to them).
That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about software that people are obligated to distribute under a GPL-compatible license. For example, some random company’s private fork of the Linux kernel.

Totally agree... this space is still so new and unpredictable that everyone is operating off vibes, gut instinct, and whatever personal anecdotes they've collected. We're all sort of fumbling around in the dark, trying to reverse-engineer the flashlight
Sure. And if you say things privately you have chosen to have privacy. Which is very limited if you say your private things on a US service and don't feel like having the US randomly read them and deport you.

That was my point, I'm happy to see that we agree :-).

Money is a terrible tool to measure the value of government services for society.
Nobody gets rich delivering mail to remote locations, or providing food assistance, or managing forests, or letting people borrow books for free, but doing those things provides an invaluable service. There are many things we want from government that shouldn't make money. That doesn't mean that they aren't worthwhile or that they are inefficient. An efficient government isn't one that spends less money, it's one that does the best job providing services for the people.

> If we are heading towards an economy with labour shortage

We aren't. Especially not with the nation's largest employer hemorrhaging workers. Companies are doing everything in their power to replace workers with AI and machines as quickly as they can. There is an endless supply of immigrants who'd love nothing more than to live and work in the US.

Government workers are not employed with "useless skillsets" either. Every single job in the government will involve skills that can be applied elsewhere.
We have the Senate for these long term decisions. But somehow it has become a useless bureaucracy due to the partisanship.

Technically the President is not allowed to dictate financial policy. The current actions are done in the name of “emergency”, bypassing the Senate.
