A code is not an artistic expression and so can't be copyrightable. The layout of a book of codes, for sure, but the information in it... might be protectable with other IPR but not copyright.

I definitely see a steady stream of Dashers come into the coffee shops I work out of... I'm still sort of shocked at how many people use these services, given how expensive they are: "More than half of adults under 45 use delivery at least once a week, and 13 percent use it once a day. Five percent use it multiple times a day. But the delivery boom isn’t confined to young people or to urbanites: About one in eight Baby Boomers uses delivery once a week, and so does about one in five rural dwellers."

I don't think this is entirely true, particularly when delivery sources that take a percentage cut are a large factor. Furthermore the tips would just be absorbed into the cost of the menu items.

I think rising wealth inequality is also a problem. The top 10% of america can only eat out at so many places at once.


with extra stoopid

Worth noting this is similar to but not the same as the type of certificate based authentication used in web browsers. Most notably you can't chain CAs, so there is no root of trust beyond whoever operates the CA you care about telling you the public key out of band.

For SSH this is fine, because very rarely is anyone connecting to a random SSH server on the internet without being able to talk to the operators (hi Github, we see you there, being the exception).


i've never heard anyone say "earphones"

This is awful. I love playing games on my MBP and the latest crossover releases have been amazing in the ability to play almost all windows PC games at full speed. Losing rosetta means crossover is dead.

You would hope that apple would open source it, but they are one of the worst companies in the world for open sourcing things. Shame on all their engineers.


That answers the question of whether or not it was satire.

> s lost when ignorantly amplifying misquotes

Just barely squeezed that ad hominem in. Nice. I suppose it could, if one misquoted. Fortunately for me, was intentional as my version seems to reflect the gist of what you're saying: we (the people) shouldn't enforce the law when it comes to the actions of the leaders we elect.


So does this mean all the docker amd64 images will no longer run?

That would be a disaster and cost us a lot of time and money to additionally compile for arm. A resource intensiv waste of resources just to test a production image.


This! People underestimate the extent to which lawyers are negotiable also. “I’m not paying that” is a surprisingly effective method

Agreed, I think.

The solution to "DEI has run amok!" is not "Ban DEI!" but "better define what DEI means and what is within bounds/outside bounds". But, the latter doesn't fit on a campaign poster, so here we are...


> Whereas now its all about RT scores, review megathreads, unboxing, reaction videos

Is that them or is that content and algorithms seeping into every possible nook and cranny of the human experience? Creators seeking to tap value off of popular brands and fans trying to find more content and falling into a long tail?

We're making more content, taking up more time, resulting in people who are stimulated all the time. Busy all the time.


Someone actually paid for this?

Weirdness isn’t really deviance. Punk was deviance, anti-system. Modern internet weirdness is mostly just having weird consumer tastes and sociopolitical opinions.

> Crazy

Indeed, crazy like a fox.

It's perfectly rational. That "health"/"insurance" industry (and all that props it up) is perfectly engineered to drain the funds that were accumulated by those people.

And it works very well at that. One can call it emergent, or one can call it something else, but it's not crazy -- it is by some kind of intelligent design.

"Just business." Sigh.


> If you make a website using HOPL software, you are not breaking the license of the software if an AI bot scrapes it. The AI bot is in violation of your terms of service.

Assuming a standard website without a signup wall, this seems like a legally dubious assertion to me. At what point did the AI bot accept those terms and conditions, exactly? As a non-natural person, is it even able to accept?


This depends heavily on which EU country you are: some EU countries have great and cheap healthcare, others have shit and cheap healthcare with 6+ months of waiting time and you can't find even a personal doctor in the public system (which you are forced to pay anyway for).

This seems to basically only apply to full-fledged GUI apps and excludes e.g. games, so potentially stuff like Rosetta for CLI isn't going anywhere either

One thing Proven might have done is to analyze the attack. Then see if the lock could be improved to prevent it. Offer exchanges for the old locks (most of which are unlikely to be requested). Instead they resort to Lawyers, refuse to solve the problem and waste everyones time and money.

It doesn’t say if that is going away. The message calls out another part as sticking around:

> Beyond this timeframe, we will keep a subset of Rosetta functionality aimed at supporting older unmaintained gaming titles, that rely on Intel-based frameworks.

Since the Linux version of Rosetta requires even less from the host OS, I would expect it to stay around even longer.


Apple helped develop Arm originally and was a (very) early user with Newton. Why would they go it alone when they already had a large amount of history and familiarity available?

Yeah, but criminals do not care, law-abiding citizens do... so who ends up being the victim in such scenarios? Typically the law-abiding citizen.

This isn’t true and hasn’t been true fifty years ago either. A handful of the most well-known books regarding getting wealthy and having a high status were written almost a century ago. The practice of wealth accumulation was already established by anyone who was above room temperature IQ for as long as we have existed.

Deviance is all around, the author is too trapped in a bubble to see it.


I remember weeks of Anna Nicole Smith news jamming up the air waves. I jokingly said, "slow news week" but the networks did a great job of making it seem like this scandal was really important.

Hey folks, Sarmad from the LastMile team here that built MCP-c and mcp-agent.

We're looking for thoughts and feedback so will be happy to take any questions here! And as the post shows, it's really easy to try this out -- would be grateful for you to try deploying an agent as an MCP server and get your impressions!


> The original 2003 DDD book is very 2003 in that it is mired in object orientation to the point of frequently referencing object databases¹ as a state-of-the-art storage layer.

Irrelevant, as a) that's just your own personal and very subjective opinion, b) DDD is extensively documented as the one true way to write "good code", which means that by posting your comment you are unwittingly proving the point.

> However, the underlying ideas are not strongly married to object orientation and they fit quite nicely in a functional paradigm.

"Underlying ideas" means cherry-picking opinions that suit your fancy while ignoring those that don't.

The criticism on anemic domain models, which are elevated to the status of anti-pattern, is more than enough to reject any claim on how functional programming is compatible with DDD.

And that's perfectly fine. Not being DDD is not a flaw or a problem. It just means it's something other than DDD.

But the point that this proves is that there is no one true way of producing "good code". There is no single recipe. Anyone who makes this sort of claim is either both very naive and clueless, or is invested in enforcing personal tastes and opinions as laws of nature.


I've hydroplaned on the motorway many times. It is a big scary but as long as you don't touch the brakes and continue straight you are ok.

I've driven FWD cars in heavy snow and it isn't that bad. You just have to go half the speed you normally would.


> typically without a meal

any reason why? it's fat soluble and absorbs much better if taken with a meal.


I have an issue with the argument that the culture is stagnating. One of the arguments is this:

> fewer and fewer of the artists and franchises own more and more of the market. Before 2000, for instance, only about 25% of top-grossing movies were prequels, sequels, spinoffs, etc. Now it’s 75%.

I think the explanation isn't a decrease in creativity as much as the fact that in the 1980s, there just weren't that many films you could make a sequel of. It's a relatively young industry. At the same time, there are more films made today because the technology has gotten more accessible. So is that a net loss or a net win?

The same goes for the "the internet isn't as interesting as it used to be" - there's more interesting content than ever before, but the volume of non-interesting stuff has grown much faster. It's now a commerce platform, first and foremost, but that doesn't mean that people aren't using the medium in creative ways.


> always extremely conservative

You have a pretty idiosyncratic definition of "conservative"
