Microsoft now prevents forks from running VS Code extensions
Replace "profitable" with "popular with management" and you're right on the money. Just don't get caught holding the hot potato when the wind shifts. And good luck figuring out when that is.
Not sure about Microsoft solutions, but modern file systems like zfs and btrfs can do this on the filesystem level, no support from the mail server needed.
> convince someone with an audience to feature you without paying them to do it.

It takes time and effort to feature a product, how could they make a living?

I can imagine 4 different possible outcomes:

- People just find new loophole and behave exactly as before

- Large media company only features products from their friends and families. Monopoly.

- Only the government and a few selected individuals get the incentive. They gain from controlling the information.

- Only local businesses can survive.

They are very different outcome. You can't just ban one undesirable behaviour and hope for the best. You need to focus on what outcome you desire and how each and every side effects.

While we are banning monetary gain for ad, can we stop political lobbying too?

He doesn't need to. The dynamics of such emigration are always like that.

> I'm not looking for lower CoL places, I'm looking for comparable QoL places

That still causes gentrification. You will go to increase the housing demand in the place you go to and that will cause all of you to gentrify, including you. That even happens to those who go to lower CoL places - in just a few years, prices skyrocket and the richer emigrants themselves are stupefied - today CoL in major European cities that became popular locations for such emigration are catching up to the places where these people escaped from.

I was a big proponent of such international white-collar mobility before. The statistics and real-life experiences changed that.
Nope, engineers are engineers because they push back on bad decisions. I don't consider web devs engineers because they refuse to take responsibility for their actions

Probably AI slop, numerous similar things on the same non-topic on the same site. "In a recent Wall Street Journal Interview"... which one? Does it exist? Probably not. No link. Nonsense. Flagging.
I have taken one project to $3 billion and another to $700 million, and along the way we have run numerous events, marketed numerous products, and built many reputations. Many of the most successful products (including one that hit 2 million MAU) didn't use any form of paid promotion at all!

So, I do happen to have relevant experience. I haven't run a concert or a protest, but I've done the rest of the things you mentioned, some of which at considerable scale.
Am I the only one in the world who absolutely loves the Magic Mouse. Aside from gaming it's just so comfortable, scrolling is a dream with inertia no one else has figured out how to mimic, and the gestures are natural.

Plus horizontally scrolling on long lines of code (or terminal output) is unbeatable.
Sure, and after that let’s ban: potato chips, sugar water, sex outside the hours of 6:00 - 7:00 PM, caffeine, plastic straws, and non-bran-based cereals.

Yes, people need to take care of themselves, but part of that involves a degree of personal responsibility.

“Let’s ban paid advertisement.” This is not a serious discussion.
In that it is meaningful, yes.
I know people who actually like it. I've never been a fan, I don't like the little scroll clit that it has, I've always plugged in a USB mouse, but there are definitely people who like it.

I think it's like the IBM keyboard nipple. I have one on my Thinkpad, but I never use it, but I know some people who refuse to use anything else.

ETA:

I never liked the multitouch mice either.
>and we are currently in a digital war against Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and probably other nation-states.

Not according to this administration - they recently ended "cyber operations" against Russia:

So, we're basically going to just let Russia do whatever they want.
This also means the function might not do what you want, i.e. if it takes a `&mut T` argument, that argument can't actually be mutated, and anything that relies on interior mutability, even if it's not a mut argument, also won't work.

Rust allows memory-impure things, like interior mutability of arguments, so you can get different (i.e. incorrect) results when using this to run otherwise fine rust code.

For example:

fn some_fn(x: &mut i32) {
*x = 2;
}

fn main() {
let mux x = 1;
mem_isolate::execute_in_isolated_process(|| {
some_fn(&mut x);
}).unwrap();
println!("{x}"); // prints '1' even though without 'mem_isolate' this would be 2
}
"Is Paul Newman known for having had problems with alcohol?"

https://chatgpt.com/share/67f332e5-1548-8012-bd76-e18b3f8d52...

Your query indeed answers "...not widely known..."

"Did Paul Newman have problems with alcoholism?"

https://chatgpt.com/share/67f3329a-5118-8012-afd0-97cc4c9b72...

"Yes, Paul Newman was open about having struggled with alcoholism"

What's the issue? Perhaps Paul Newman isn't _famous_ ("known") for struggling with alcoholism. But he did struggle with alcoholism.

Your usage of "known for" isn't incorrect, but it's indeed slightly ambiguous.
Yeah somehow I bet that if it’s content highly illegal in Russia it’s going to be very much the other way around.
Advertising may have been necessary the way you're describing in the 1950's but it's now so much easier to move information around.

As for all communication being a bit like advertising, a significant threshold has been crossed once you're paying to have your information elevated above that of your peers. If we didn't allow that, the noise floor would be lower, and it would be possible to achieve the benefits of advertising without the harms.

For instance, suppose I'm looking for a plumber... there are only maybe fifteen within a reasonable distance. There's no need for the plumbers to pay some third party for the privilege of being first in the list. I can limit my search criteria so that the results are narrow enough that I can consider each one, and they can instead spend that money on pipes or toilets or whatever.
What the Comfort Class Doesn't Get

That sounds like an actual plan, which is five sentences more than the administration has presented to date.

You've pulled the rug out from consumers' pocketbooks, your stock price is in the toilet, and there's no idea what will come tomorrow, next week, or next year from this group. How do you raise money and plan to onshore your manufacturing in an environment like that? You're better off hunkering down and doing nothing.
> The BSD releases did not form a complete OS and were not runnable except in combination with source code from ATT Unix, which was emphatically proprietary software.

Is that the measure: a complete OS? When exactly did GNU ship a complete OS?

IMHO none of the above is relevant to the question which was first. IMHO both were not first. IBM, among others, were shipping source code with their product, until they didn't. OSS is and was a reaction to an only object model. And there were seeds at Berkeley and MIT.

And Stallman isn't strictly responsible for the MIT strain. As Keith Packard said in his "A Political History of X", the X11 project chose not use the GPL license, because Stallman was simply too annoying.
forthright point of view and more power to that.. however in this case the weight falls on one small bit there - the same version number. There is information missing somehow someways
Zellij is too bloated and slow
What exactly is authoritarian and from the top down about the majority of people deciding that they do not want a minority of rich people and especially companies to place huge ads everywhere in public places where everyone is forced to see them?

The majority deciding to ban the minority with enough money from taking over public spaces and forcing the majority to see their ads seems very bottom up to me.
And yet murder is illegal even if the victim walked into a dark alley alone.
You’re right. New plan: let’s ban all paid advertisements except for those that are approved by a committee of government officials. /s
Also, I can imagine such schemes getting ditched for the same reasons of "now people can detect whether we already have a copy of the file, which is a privacy hole!" that killed cross-origin caching in browsers.

Or if everything in the year 20XX gets pushed into using E2E encryption, since that's pretty much antithetical to deduplication.
>however it is never good when the protocol is defined by it's only implementation

One counter-example to this is in desktop GUI environments. You want one single strong reference implementation there for stability/consistent expectations of what will run. Pretty much everything that will run on the eleventh X protocol will work X.orgs X11 everywhere. Whereas the core wayland protocol is not feature complete and the reference implementation weston is weak. So every wayland compositor implements what should be core wayland protocol features in their own choice of third party lib or custom code. Like libei vs libinput vs no support at all (weston) for normal keyboard/mouse features. Software that works on one wayland won't work on others.

My point here is that strong single reference implementations prevent fragmentation. And sometimes that's important. This is not one of those cases and I'm glad to see more rsync protocol implementations.
That’s interesting, because I read the article and it seems like a straightforward rant against billboards. The discussion here - except for your comment - is about either billboards or advertising in general.

If the article is really a metaphor for something else (racist town ordinances? zoning in general? something else?) I think a lot of us have missed it. Perhaps you could enlighten us.

Go's CSP model works well, if you first take the time to study it up a bit. The only drawback with the docs is they don't focus on correctness and potential concurrency bugs sufficiently. In the very least the stdlib could mark whether particular functions are goroutine safe or not. If you stay guarded for such things, you should be able to get a lot done with very few mistakes.

I have limited experience with Rust, but the ownership model and the borrow checker help with avoiding concurrency bugs as well. And personally for me, Rust slowed down the speed at which I could proceed solving the problem at hand. If you have time on your hands or you're very fluent with it, rust may give better results.
So the solution is to have people work in factories sewing cheap t-shirts?
I don't really care if companies -- of any size -- can reach me or not. If I want a service they provide, I will actively seek them out.

Large companies already have a huge advantage over small/new companies in that they have much more money to spend on marketing and advertising. If anything, banning paid advertising helps level the playing field.

People will still find out about small and new businesses if paid advertising was banned. In fact I learn about most smaller players through word of mouth and other non-paid sources.
But the article goes on to say that while it succeeds at being a novel spot for new media partnerships, it ( the style presentation ) performs more poorly at communicating the safety message
Really enjoyed this writeup. I'd come across Don Tarbell’s name before, but didn’t realize how influential he was in the pre-Altair era—and even in setting the stage for the Apple I. Fascinating stuff.

I also wasn’t aware of this site—some really well-researched essays on early computing. Great work, and thanks for putting this together!
For large companies, sure. Large companies abuse everything though; tax, regulatory, worker rights, human rights etc. I have no clue how to fix it in a capitalist winner takes all world, but that's the problem, not advertising.

Small companies (few people) need advertising to get any reach normally.

Advertising is out of control. Doing mundane things like filling up fuel at a petrol stations, or catching a lift at work - there is a little screen targeting you with ads.

>based on the Sony IMX219 (...) Its 1.12 μm by 1.12 μm pixels are 50 times smaller than that of Timepix3 and of size similar to that of nuclear emulsions grains.

Sure, a loom works anywhere, but a banana plant doesn't.

Raw materials are sometimes only available in some regions too, though this is a weaker argument because sometimes that is just because labor and complying with dumping regulations are cheaper in poorer countries.
My favorite parkway in the US (at least for now) is the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. It's a National Park. It's gorgeous during the spring and fall with leafy trees exploding in color. No billboards too.

Spain also prefer no billboards along their highways - at least, the one time I visited. Our tour guide pointed it out. The only billboards were from the Barcelona Olympics, I believe.

It really does make a difference.
Templating doesn't write in the middle. Writing in the middle is a medieval rudiment of manual configuration helpers. Automated config generation simply outputs a new file every time you run "build" and then somehow syncs it to the target server. All "user" changes go into templates, not outputs. What you're talking about can exist, but it is a mutable hell that is not reproducible and thus cannot be a part of a reliable infrastructure.

If this is not how modern devops/fleet management works, I withdraw my questions cause it's even less useful than my scripts.
It's really pretty reasonable. I don't notice it at all. Nothing as bad as trying to relay 1min.ai or something
Silly comment, but I concede this bit is very ugly — they should have extracted the inner type to an alias and used that twice.

Omit<ChatCompletionParseParams, 'model'> & { model: Model },
],

like this

tbh I'm glad about this, even if it breaks Cursor and other unnecessary forks of VSC. there's a difference between forking something to improve it and give back to the community under the same license vs what Cursor is doing.
The difference between an advertisement and a post on HN is that the HN comment (presumably) is not a paid comment - people are saying things on HN because they genuinely believe them, not because someone with an agenda paid them to pretend to believe them!

And that makes all the difference. I am very happy to read that an HN commenter prefers one specific brand of car - assuming that this is an unbiased comment and the commenter was not paid to say that. On the other hand, if they *were* paid to say they like a specific brand of car, they are deceiving me! They are exposing my brain to ideas and associations that are inauthentic, and making me more likely to buy a certain brand of car even though that car cannot get mentioned on its own merits, and instead needs to pay for attention.

Also, I'm not sure I agree that "advertising is how monopolies are broken" - my read on the advertising industry is that larger companies today have a massive advantage over smaller companies, and that smaller businesses would be more able to succeed if advertising was removed. And the advantage more or less comes from the larger brands ability to afford to expose a larger number of people, and that exposure has superlinear effects on purchase behavior (because not only are you exposed to it, but your friends are talking about it, and their family is talking about it, etc).
That might be overstating it, at least if you mean it to be some unreplicable feat.

Someone discovered that the properties were very similar to Copper Sulfide. The problem is that to make it you must mix two powders and heat them, but the heated mixed powers also produce Copper Sulfide as a contamination. In this case the contamination has very interesting properties that make it look similar to a superconductor, but it's not a superconductor. And that probably caused the mistake.

I don't think that would be the case. If people want to find an org that is doing what you are doing, they will find you. If they aren't interested in whatever it is you're doing, then they won't hear about you.

And that's exactly the point. I don't want products and services pushed at me. I don't want companies telling me that I need what they offer, even if I've never really thought about it before.

And remember, this is just a ban on paid advertising. This doesn't mean you can't put up a website to market your product. You can sell through Amazon or whatever, and appear in search results (results that aren't affected by anyone paying for ad space or better rankings). You just can't pay others to advertise it for you.
A bigger surprise (failure) is that the EPUB folks have continued to evolve their bespoke format instead of ditching it for something that legacy browsers already know how to handle. An "EPUB" should just be a Mac-style bundle (i.e. a directory) with an XHTML file in it written to conform to a specific metadata profile.

Why should we tolerate amplified messages at all? If you've got something worth hearing to say, people will repeat it. We've been doing that for a million years or so, we're good at it.

I mean, let's make exceptions for events where everybody came to hear the thing, where consent for the amplification can be assumed because we all bought tickets or something, but if you're standing on the corner with a bullhorn shouting at passers-by, that's hostile behavior in the same way that billboards are. Please don't do it.
Both perspectives have truth.

Some ads are abusive. Some ads compel behavior that is obviously bad for the participants.

Take all the sports gambling ads right now.

Take loot boxes with flashing visuals for children.

Some ads are fine. They are informative and useful, and can provide value.

I'm my opinion, we have leaned too far towards the bad. The useful is being drowned out by ads that take advantage of any social or emotional vulnerability we have. Banking on physical rewards systems geared towards smaller, more meaningful social groups to make us give up attention, time, and money.

I'm in favor of banning ads. Let's try the other end of the spectrum for a bit.

To be crass: let God find his own in the ads world. The good products will still spread organically. It's still advertising. It's just not the bullshit we have today.
Also, if you're nearing retirement and you look at this mess, you're not coming back, there won't be anything to be done.
