Freedoms 2 and 3 are required so that the first freedoms work in practice. You don't want simply to be able to see and modify the source - you want as much people to see the source so that they as well can find the backdoors for your benefit; you want others to be able to make improvements and distribute them so that the improvements benefit you as well.

And given the nature of business, it is critically important that people are allowed to do this even against the wishes of the original creator/distributor, because it is the only way to prevent 'anti-features'. If your software vendor has intentionally inserted a backdoor, you need others to be able to legally distribute a fixed version; if your software vendor has intentionally not included some compatibility you need (say, with your own product file formats), you need to be able to distribute a fixed version of their product to your customers.
> What could a camera+CPU do better than the human eye?

Machine vision is already widely used in manufacturing processes to check many parts of the process. There are also machine vision based robots for pick+place operations, camera positioning and more.

Honestly it sucks because it's an airport designed basically 50 years ago. What many American cities (especially including LA) need is a newly built and designed airport for the 2000s. That just doesn't happen
In this regard, Ireland has some exceedingly generous right of return laws. If you have documented lineage from an Irish grandparent, the process of obtaining citizenship is completely painless.

I obtained citizenship by this route in 2004 and was able to live and work in the UK with no visa requirement.
Pudb depends on the "termios" module (POSIX style tty control), whose doc says it's only available under Unix.[1] Does anyone know if there's a way to make it run on Windows (native Windows command prompt, not Cygwin)?

I think the commenter's point was that simply having life tenure as a judge isn't the only potential motivation for their alleged bias toward patent trolls. That, in fact, their friends' and families' stakes in local businesses (e.g. the shell 'office' suites these patent trolls incorporate in) provide additional indirect motivation for the judges to keep the patent troll gravy train rolling.

Peer pressure, especially from close friends and family, and doubly in small towns, is incredibly motivating for most people.
To me, it seems the questions were pretty basic and geared towards judging if someone has had experience actually administering linux servers. How many people (who actually competently deal with linux servers) need to use google to know what the output of top is? or how to kill a process? If you don't already know what MTU is about, how would you even consider an incorrect MTU as being an issue when you're debugging an issue in production?

Likewise, I wouldn't hire a Senior Javascript developer who can't describe in her own words what a closure is and what it's useful for, or talk about execution context (what 'this' refers to) and how to control that. You just can't have seriously written any javascript and not have encountered those things enough that they've been burned into your mind (though maybe an intern or a Junior developer that'd be okay)
<time.h> is userspace. It's at least theoretically possible for long long to be more than 64 bits. Why use long long (potentially, say, 128 bits) rather than int64_t for time_t?

And why wouldn't int64_t be available in kernel space?
Hi, I just scanned it with:

To me it seems like calling that the fault of "religion" seems roughly analogous to blaming the concept of "government" for the actions of a specific city or state/province government? (that is, either 1 or 2 levels below a national government , though I might have made a mistake with the analogy there)

Not all religions/versions of a religion are the same.

I acknowledge that an analogy is not always a particularly strong argument, but it was the first responce I thought of, and it seemed an acceptable responce to me.

Also, it might have made more sense to respond a few levels up, not sure what would have made the most sense to reply to.
Morocco-based FollowLetter helps news addicts de-clutter their inboxes
It's similar in that it's peer-to-peer, but doesn't require an auth/directory server to establish connections. If any known peer is accessible, the two can authenticate directly.

The system is transparently corrupt in the larger, common sense of the word.

The corrupt players, unfortunately, may have enough false-Chinese walls and connections that they cannot be brought up for the violation of any particular laws.

The situation, in fact, is one that has become standard in the US. We can see as a broader example the "revolving door" where ex-government officials join industry and vice-versa. As long as particular, explicit payoffs can be avoided, the overall process of favoring certain players and approaches and having a strong expectation of a payoff in the end is basically legal.

Edit: at end of article - Lodsys can be sure it will continue to draw Judge Gilstrap as long as it files its cases in Marshall, Texas. The other judge who considers patent cases filed there is US District Judge Leonard Davis; but since Judge Davis' son William "Bo" Davis is Lodsys' lawyer, the company's cases will all be redirected to Gilstrap. That this kind of essentially incestuous relationship is allowed should say a lot.

I notice the ideas that it is not the number of contributors that matter, but the number of sufficiently skilled ones, and the that popularity impedes change. I can't help draw a parallel with the advice that you should listen to your most valuable customers, and potential customers, and that the rest of your users will expect free stuff, and complain loudly when you pivot.
The Twitter API only supports OAuth now. There is an API method developers can use to jumpstart the OAuth flow with a password but this is restricted to apps that Twitter allows to use it.
So what's the actual "hack"? A proxy?
My problem with the notion of the 10x developer is that I've never seen a reasonable study into what a 1x developer is. An order of magnitude gap in productivity between the best and the worst is a massive understatement. I've worked with programmers with net-negative or zero productivity, and being ten times more productive than that is trivial. Thus, the real question is whether or not the people who are a tenth as productive as the very best developers happen to be average, and to answer that we'd first need a much better idea of what the "average" developer is.
I don't know if it is necessarily sexism or delivery or timing. I'm a man, 6'5", 250lbs, and I work as a software engineer. That being said, I've experienced this exact scenario many many times:

"I've lost the count of how many times she told me about
how she explained something to the team, with everyone
bashing her, and after a few weeks, someone else (a guy)
explaining the same thing and everyone praising the guy."

The moment she starts blaming it on sexism, is the moment she starts examining whether or not she can change something about how she delivers her ideas.

Getting an idea accepted is also as much about delivery as it is about timing. The reason I point this out is because at work I generally am a lot better at having a longer view strategy wise than most of my colleagues and this is something I find that women are also good at (and also the reason why people compare Warren Buffett's investing strategy to that typically employed by women). If you are too early with an idea and people are ready for it, then you should come to terms with the fact that you may need to present it many times over until people either come around to the idea or the timing is eventually right to present it.

She needs to stop feeling like a victim and start thinking about persuasion and why her ideas are failing to gain acceptance. It's not her gender but may be related to her gender with respect to delivery. Change the delivery deliberately.
I always found this special-casing of headers for kernel vs user unnecessary and complicating. In the many embedded runtimes I maintain, I've moved towards using standard POSIX-y and C(++) standard headers everywhere. I know kernel folks love to believe that their world is special so all the usual C library stuff needs to be done differently, but it's not needed.

It's so much easier to port code between the two worlds when you don't have to litter the #include prelude of every C file with conditionals.
I challenge you to find a large airport in any developed country in the world that it's an order of magnitude better than America's finest.
I don't actually recall taking part in a Mars colonization discussion on HN before. I frequent SpaceX threads, but that encompasses many topics besides Mars.

Between that and you calling me "Mike" even though I have no idea who you are, I have to wonder if you think I'm somebody else.

In any case, it's the first time I've seen that rationale. Believe it or not, I don't really care, but it's true.

As for "victimhood", I think you've mistakenly identified "calling out a jerk for being a jerk", which is a different thing.
It is now...

I'm guessing this merely involved removing the mobile device manager certificate from the iPad through the Settings. Once the certificate is removed, any "lock downs" and settings the school pushed out are removed with it.

More like Un-proxying. The devices have a proxy installed that limits where you can go and they just remove the proxy.

This is the equivalent of going in to your phone and changing the APN.

I don't know which software they are using, but most either intercept the DNS or use a constant Transparent Proxy.

The problem is that "free" is overloaded as you concluded. I didn't mean to offend any sensibilities, I was just saying that this discussion does not happen in some other languages because they have different words.
Very interested to see something like this.
Lots of rich people lobby for wars, and support wars, and get richer off of wars. Poor people not so much (except perhaps those who go fight, and take exceptional advantage of things like the GI Bills.)
As I have pointed out before I have seen on first hand the difference between someone who is great and someone who is filling out the blanks. This is from a few years ago:

The "10x" consultant would delete hundreds of lines of code and keep the functionality. He would rewrite things and make them simpler. And in between he was helping the rest of us, explain architecture and generally make sure we were able to follow.

On the other hand I have seen other consultants, who were definitely smart[1], who would still do things like:

Use tiles (a templating framework for java/struts) to implement authorization. (Cleaning up this fell on me. : )

Add style tags to the body of the page (once the designer found and fixed this it solved all the perceived performance problems we had.)

[1]: If you had seen that code you would have agreed. It was some kind of weird artwork :-/ It worked perfect but every little change took full concentration, a significant amount of time and added to templates spanning hundreds of loc.
I automatically made the association in my mind that not only would they defend you, they'd fund the thing. Thanks for making my misunderstanding obvious :)
There have been several efforts at developing a blood glucose sensor that could work on the skin rather than with an invasive probe. None of those went anywhere.

I assume this means that this is a very difficult task. Believe me as a Type II Diabetic that sticks their finger several times per day something that could detect your blood glucose without blood would be worth a LOT.

I can't imagine what it would be worth to someone with Type I.
If I remember correctly, on the last day of student senate my junior year of high school(the only day I have been to it), they described their plan for the first one or two days of the next year using the term indoctrinate wrt "school spirit".

They didn't seem to see anything strange about that.

It's possible they used a slightly different word, but I am probably more than 90% sure that at the time I thought they had just said indoctrinate.

(note:I am only a senior in highschool, just in case that is useful in explaining why I think things or why I don't have as much experience with things, etc.)
Yeah! I've thought the same thing.

Really makes you appreciate that you can re-run a failing test a hundred times before it passes at negligible cost, while applying the same ideology to spaceflight means tens of millions a pop at minimum.
Try going out of Denver on a Monday morning sometime. I've taken 2 hours to get through security and my understanding is that's not atypical. The (now not quite so new) Denver Airport also has the advantage of being a clean sheet design out in the middle of nowhere--which also means that it's a lot further from the city and the mountains than the old airport was. It's also worth noting that the airport had absolutely horrendous issues with the automated baggage handling system to the point that they eventually pretty much chucked it. Among other things, the system was effectively hostile to an odd-shaped luggage like, for example, skis. (For non-Americans, the Rocky mountains near Denver are one of the biggest US ski centers.)
One of the important points here is right at the start, around the inner circle. I've operated in a very similar way to what Mark has suggested, a team of senior leader who act as a proxy for the group overall.

When you join up, if you're clear about stating what this group does and give employees a way to approach and resolve problems through these people then, at least in my experience, it's worked.

When a newstart comes onboard they're hired for cultural and role fit but other roles in the organization need to be explained so that communications channels are introduced: we have a regular Friday at 5 meeting where everyone sits down with beers and we recap and talk through issues) or; members of that inner circle integrate themselves with each of the teams

It requires permission and empathy to execute but that's what you need in a leadership role. What people want to hear is: we'll take care of the 80% behind the scenes because we're the ones with domain knowledge in that area, if there's something that you feel storngly about, speak up and we'll listen. If it's big and everyone deserves a say then we'll lay it out for you and you can tell us what you think.

Ultimately the people with the most at stake, be those the founders or the VC's or the other capital partners, they're the ones who get the say because they're the ones with their money at risk.

I agree with Mark that a lot of this stuff is just a distraction. You've come to work for us because you are good at what you do and you fit our culture, the company needs to open upfront about what they want to do (are we aiming for an aquihire or for leveraged growth). If that goal changes then the company needs to have had that discussion with employees so they cna reconfirm in or out but if you sign up then you've got to trust the people making decisions to be working towards what you've all agreed on.
>Sweet- so Apple can join this and infringe on anyone's patents and get their legal bills paid for?

Presumably it would cover litigation costs but not liabilities. So if you lose at the end, you still lose and have to pay damages out of your own pocket.

>Seriously though, it would have to have some clear definition of patent troll.

Not necessarily. You might not classify the likes of IBM as a "patent troll" under some definitions, but having some sort of litigation expenses insurance when they come knocking would certainly be welcome. Why not avoid the hair splitting exercises and just have the insurance kick in whenever someone makes a patent infringement claim against you?
stdint.h may not be available, but int64_t is; it's defined in include/linux/types.h.
I am a professional software engineer working full time and making quite a decent living at it. I believe quite a bit that the AGPL3 or other strong copyleft licenses are the moral high road and would be quite happy to work on products using AGPL3.

In terms of monetization, I believe hosted SaaS AGPL3 solutions where companies offer support and maintenance is a reasonably viable business model. I am reasonably sure that B2B "enterprise" sales could be AGPL3 without significantly impinging upon cash flow. Generally it seems that enterprises are buying business solutions, not software; they are paying for the assurance that stuff works.
Certainly it takes a lot of energy for that. Which is why no one does that, and every probe sent to Mercury or to Pluto has used an assist.

I submit that the comment "It takes more energy to crash a rocket into the sun than it does to crash a rocket into Pluto" focuses wrongly on energy, when the important factor is time. Delta-v computed by Hohmann transfer orbits are simple to compute, yes, but leads to an "intuition" which excludes things like low-energy transfer trajectories.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"

This is a protection from an official state religion. Lobbying for near-monopoly positions, favored status, and regulatory capture might be a sort of "establishment" of special corporate status over the people.
You might find this worth looking at if you're not already aware. Good luck. You'll probably need it.

>When President Obama changed course and decided not to press forward unilaterally on planned strikes against Bashar Al Assad’s regime, he was effectively heeding that constitutional catechism. Congress and the public had signaled their opposition to military action, and Obama responded by acknowledging the need for congressional support. After decades of presidents ordering foreign interventions without consulting the House and Senate, his move represented a dramatic and welcome reversal

It is disingenuous to claim that Obama is "bold" for not proceeding with a ridiculously ineffective plan opposed by the overwhelming majority of all Americans, up to and including his own wife, especially after Obama persisted in pushing it despite all that opposition. Further, is the author forgetting Libya? Obama didn't wait for congressional support then. Claiming Obama is heeding or has heeded a "constitutional catechism" is absurd.
Shared library development on Linux
I'm writing a small shared library involving sockets on Linux and in C11. I have most of everything nailed down at this point, but I still feel as if this isn't as simple as I think it is. How should I be reporting errors? Should I even report them? How should I handle compile time constants like buffer sizes? Are there any other things I am missing?

Also, excuse me if I'm out of line here. If this kind of question isn't welcomed here let me know.
It's a federal court, the State of Texas has nothing to do with it. These judges are appointed by the President.
That is close. Thanks for the link.

The Consumer mixin is almost the same as the Subscriber one that I came up with.

Is there a way to subscribe on more than just the topic type? For example, to anything published that has { action: 'received' }

That's something that really enables some great use cases for us.
Which case was this?
I don't live in the South so I don't really know how much that is happening. However, I would imagine that allowing well-funded corporate interests to write curriculum is far more insidious than creationism in the classroom.

Religious indoctrination (like Creationism) comes from the community, and only exists in schools in places where the community enables it (like the South). Lobbying has no boundaries.
Where does this newly built and designed airport go? Denver built a new one on largely unpopulated, fairly arid land to the east of the city. Hong Kong built a new airport largely on landfill. But it's mostly pretty hard for existing urban airport (at least in the US and Western Europe) to expand/reconfigure significantly--much less start fresh--if they're anywhere near a populated area.
