Moreover, Grimms' copyright has been expired while Disney's copyright is set to never expire.

This.

Also, advertising every file in torrent (of unsuspecting user) to entire world would be a HUGE privacy flaw.

But why? The current Kademlia implementation built in eMule/aMule does exactly this. Primary data advertised is file name string, there is also a support for several meta fields. Transfer proto sucks, but I don't think it really matters in the case of ultra-rare content.

I just dropped here to praise archivists and their merit in general. I treasure content (regardless of its perceived quality) preservation much more than legal or even ethical problems associated with it.

Anecdote: Remember when Microsoft Corp. declared what they love open source software and launched CodePlex platform, and then lost their business interest in it (when they bought GitHub) so they completely erased CodePlex archives? I was able to reach several long forgotten project I was interested in thanks to invaluable work of independent volunteer archivists. (It was quite tough manual job for me, I had to d/l database then locate desired archive segment and only then could transfer required files via bittorrent proto)

Well, given they were injecting untested and unproven SARS-CoV-2 "vaccine" which wasn't even a vaccine till they changed the definition, they could do a traditional medicine plant despite the mild toxicity and the absence of other clinical evidence...

But why FDA is to blame? Just get it from nearby euro-drugstore and do your unlicensed fix.

Copilot is the largest disrespect to open source No, its owner, Microsoft Coproration is. Remember, what they did with CodePlex archives?

But they ain't some kind of special villains, its today's monopoly market kicked in. Selling startuprs to Yahoo comes with consequences.

capable of laundering open source code That's an exaggeration. Copilot is still a dumb machine which accidentally learned to mimic the practice of borrowing intellectual property from human coders.

Thanks for reductio ad absurdum baiting. And yes, these "laws" are clearly an abuse. Most of them ends up banning virtually any drawings because its impossible to assert if particular manga really depicts non-minor. Funny thing to see where burden of proof is in this particular case. Even more funny what its been almost 1.5ky after Justinian's statute.

But anyway... Why should I give up my freedoms just because of someone's parenting failures? Irresponsible parents are putting their children in danger, not the ABSOLUTE freedom of speech. Which isn't a subject of quid pro quo, really. And even not because my libertarian views on this matter, but because it simply doesn't work otherwise.

Well polite people at least say "please". Otherwise you just go buy more SDRAM and ALU chips and be computer scientist.

Curious thing is, you yourself dropped into gcc studying tool discussion clearly having no idea what I was criticizing in it.

Looks like a toy for me. Also written in Go which itself means its not serious.

When tampering gubment censorship, one should apply the usual opsec rules and thus stick to mature and proven solutions and refrain from experimenting. This means Tor or reputable commercial VPN provider, not yet-another-tor-killer. And the developers in general should invest more efforts into low-level attacks like GoodbyeDPI instead.

Russian special military operations in Ukraine

It is a war. There is no demand for this euphemism.

And no, free speech is absolute thing, otherwise it simply doesn't work.

A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both, and deserve neither.

Yet another

A Bored Chinese Housewife Spent Years Falsifying Russian History on Wikipedia

She “single-handedly invented a new way to undermine Wikipedia,” says a Wikipedian.*

Its better than the others but also very unprofessional as the other web stuff. It DOES link but its absolutely impossible to view generated map. People are just hyping about codegen related microoptimizations but don't care about layout at all.

Very typical for today's world where javascript coder counts as software engineer.

For me, JavaScript became my primary language and stays

Oh, my God! Computer science of leftPad.js strikes back.

I love how "hackers" are defending evil-corp-with-happy-face-logo

As affirmative climates action they should put Great Tuborg & affiliates onto no-fly list and see the impact.

Bulls. Hawaii was in clear and direct danger.

I presume the famous American educashun kicked in and geographically spoiled the slogan of bad bad America.

Yet you've participated in it and got paid for that.

Worth to mention paid very well and still receiving retirement plan benefits.

Forced to keep eyes at the floor (for your own good, of course)

This sounds like I work for Schutzstaffel but just doing paperwork for them

in my last company, the under performing engineers were moved to work with legacy stuff. greenfield projects were given to senior engineers.

i think management put higher priority in the new project and needed more experienced engineers to get that going as fast as possible

Because you are searching your Self.

Everyone is searching their Self.

It won’t be enough when you are not searching your Self, no matter what you have.

It will be enough when you are searching your Self, no matter what you have.

The reason - to make it only readable by human eyes - doesn’t make sense. It is always only ever readable by human eyes since bots don’t have eyes. You don’t mean eyes, but consciousness? Bots don’t have consciousness, at least until AGI isn’t here yet.

By being indexed by bots and published on the Web, it’s just more human eyes. If you just want certain human eyes, then you instead need access control.

By trying to exclude machines you just make it harder for humans to use the information, like copy pasting, text-to-speech, screen readers for the blind, etc.

Now only get Deno Deploy to implement dynamic imports, so fresh can remove its build step.

Yes, they also firmly keep the claim that fresh doesn’t have a build step. Hint: It does [^1]. They’ve just hidden it for most people by making it part of the local testing.

No, Vercel Edge Functions use Cloudflare Workers.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29003514

Single-instance private FaaS (as opposed to multi-instance public FaaS) allow to implement edge databases, assuming there is persistence. Currently only Cloudflare offers this with Durable Objects and the industry seems to not have caught on, maybe not even understood, yet.

Yeah, for their examples there isn’t even a reason to use dynamic rendering instead of static rendering (pre-build a static site), as the response doesn’t change for different requests. Dynamic rendering only pays of if you do something more complex, like authentication, etc.

But I guess static rendering would go against their mantra of “no build step”, which even currently is actually false, as they need to generate the manifest file.

Well, you know by seeing that the component is located in the special `islands` folder.

Nit-pick: It does have a build step to generate the manifest file, at least currently. This is needed because Deno Deploy still lacks dynamic imports. So, their claims of no build step are as of now still aspirational.

Maybe humans create AI exactly to have a slave? Maybe humans just won’t admit it to themselves?

I doubt we invent AI out of our kindness of hearts, our love for consciousness. We would otherwise care more deeply for nature, animals, and each other. Would we destroy biodiversity? Would we let people starve in third world countries?

Humans want to maximize their comfort. They want to offload work to someone or something else. AI is the ultimate worker. Built by humans. (Still) controlled by humans. A machine slave.

Maybe having machine slaves is fine. Or maybe not. It comes down to the same one question: can a machine be a living conscious being, like an animal, like a human?

Meanwhile Google continues to create more machine slaves. Time will tell.

Now I guess there is not a single mainstream service that supports any interoperable standard protoocol.
