If CEOs are going to start claiming that a core role of their job is emotional inspiration as a result of all those all hands meetings
Oh hell no. That's not where the value lies.
You can't send an AI CEO as part of a trade delegation. Sending an AI to close the deal doesn't tell the other party that you're there to make sure the deal happens. That's the sort of thing a human CEO does that an AI can't.
AI can’t replace genuine 1:1 human interaction. We’re social animals, and a machine pretending to be a human can’t engender the same emotional response as another human.
Keyword typosquatting I guess?
Mostly the latter.
There's another aspect to it, though — parent was in a navy ship, surrounded by sailors. That's a very specific population, in a very specific situation, and it's not necessarily true that that's the right crowd or situation to care (though it baffles me how a sailor at sea might look up at the stars without being in awe of the thought "damn, my predecessors navigated based on those")
Spelling used to be a big one. E.g. in the opening sentence of the article, the word "otimização" would've been an obvious sign it was Brazilian, because the usual European Portuguese spelling was "optimização" — we had a bunch of silent consonants like that all over the place, but most of those got removed once Portugal started adopting the 1990 orthographic agreement[0]. Speaking of spelling differences, now that I'm re-reading, I could've noticed it was Brazilian from "ingênua" in the first section (would've been "ingénua" in European Portuguese).
A common pattern in the readme is the use of "em um" ("in/on a" in English), which is idiomatic in Brazilian, but not in European Portuguese, where the contraction "num" would be standard. It's one of the cases that could be attributed to overly stiff academic writing, though.

Brazilian Portuguese.
Funnily enough, it took me a while to determine it was definitely Brazilian Portuguese, given I'm a native Portuguese speaker, because the whole thing is written in a stiff academic-ish style that hides some the differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese.
Today I learned about the Bortle scale
When I first learned about the "clouds are noticeably brighter than the sky" part of Bortle 5, it was like it flipped a switch in my brain. I can't avoid noticing it now.
Most people didn't care about dark skys in the first place and still don't.
Most people were never given the opportunity to care.
An RC justifies the "merges" title (compare "releases")
Or you can use a hardware U2F key.
You’re missing the O(1) space complexity.
Doesn’t seem like these two guys were vegan for Instagram internet points or for following a trend. They’re not trying to game the system for steak, medium rare. Their dietary restrictions are part of a larger belief system — they’re vegans because it’s the only diet consistent with their beliefs about animal rights.
Irrespectively of my own personal opinion on ethical veganism, if it’s a sincerely held belief, it should be treated the same as, say, a Jewish inmate requesting to eat kosher, or a Muslim inmate requesting to eat halal. A prison sentence shouldn’t effectively force you to break with those beliefs.
"Port done with binary patches" has a bit of the same energy as the N64Recomp project[0], which converts N64 ROMs into C programs that can be built for modern PCs.
Looking at that chart, AI seems to have not done much of anything at all to Stack Overflow. They were already in sharp decline before LLMs became widely available.
`2>&1` redirects FD2 to the current contents of FD1 (stdout), then `> /dev/null` redirects FD1 to /dev/null. That results in your errors going into stdout, and discarding regular output altogether:
0: stdin -> stdin -> stdin
1: stdout -> stdout -> /dev/null
2: stderr -> stdout -> stdout
0: stdin -> stdin -> stdin
1: stdout -> /dev/null -> /dev/null
2: stderr -> stderr -> /dev/null
Don't get me wrong: this system where Sony (or whomever else) just deletes stuff from your account with no recourse is absolutely batshit insane.
What I'm getting at is that people are getting the shape of the problem wrong (it was never ownership vs licensing), so the solution has to be different too. E.g. Bluray AACS revocation provides the technical means through which licences for physical media can be revoked just like purely downloadable stuff can.
I wasn't clear: My point is that limitations on transfer serve are proof that we've always been using licences.
Yes, physical media being de facto irrevocable is the important part, but even that has caveats (such as Bluray AACS revocations).
The problem is that we've always been buying licences, it's just that the licence used to be attached to a physical object, so transferring the licence was as easy as transferring ownership of that physical object.
It's never been legal to copy a book, film, or music album and sell the copies, for example, because the licence doesn't allow it. Hence freeware, shareware, and copyleft licences.
Good catch, thanks.
You can buy a RISC-V mainboard for the Framework Laptop, and it's relatively cheap (£170)

I'm surprised that the blog doesn't mention what, to me, is the most obvious reason not use Esc — because it's conspicuous as all hell! If somebody's at risk and wants to hide what they're doing, their abuser seeing them repeatedly hit Esc just screams "I'm trying to hide something".
Then you're going to love learning that Feynman worked on them, specifically the inter-processor routing.

Well, it's more than just OpenGL bindings mostly because it's bindings for a bazillion other things too. Just look at the javadoc[0]. The non-binding stuff in there is just utilities to make the bindings at least somewhat idiomatic in Java. In practice, LWJGL games are almost always just GLFW games, which I would still qualify as being pretty damn close to "from scratch".
As with anything IP-related, the data is licensed under whatever terms you choose to impose. That’s the extent of the consent you’ve provided.
My read on Torvalds is that, coming from him, "asshole" is a much lesser criticism than "difficult".
Casey Muratori and Jon Blow are both hyper-dogmatic "my way or the highway" types, and, crucially, neither of them has built any of the super high fidelity types of game that would require that level of optimisation. They're basically influencer types.
It's especially interesting when you consider that doing the Right Thing despite the consequences (like when challenging a tyrant) is seen as heroic. The logical consequence is that, if you view God as the ultimate tyrant, challenging him is supremely heroic.
Most people would what? No, I don’t believe that’s true.
If the only reason you didn't behave that way to begin with is that you lack the money and power to evade the consequences, then yes. You really are that person.
Yes, that's exactly my point — they're holding on to what is arguably a tiny kernel of truth, and blowing it way out of proportion. And, to be clear, "zealot" isn't meant as a compliment.
And yes, coreutils is a great example of what I mean. The GNU project was always meant to be the basis for a production grade operating system. I mean, GNU Hello is just a hello world program, and its source weighs in at 707kB zipped (or 3.6MB unzipped). The purpose is having a trivial application that can serve as reference for all the standard practices of the GNU Project. No amount of writing things in Rust can replace the engineering mentality that leads to GNU Hello existing. In comparison, as I understand it uutils was first and foremost an educational project that got coopted into being used in production. Things are very much not alike here.
