If he's anything like me (doubtful but roll with it), the commit history when prototyping is probably something like "commit", "commit", "fixed a bug", etc.
Wouldn't you want the opposite? Once domestic production ramps up you gradually lift import restrictions to create more competition. I guess that's if the intention is to improve the domestic market in the national interest, rather than to just make people rich.
That is exactly what you never want to do under protectionist policies.
Domestic producers are shielded from Chinese competitors.
This means they are under less pressure to reduce prices and innovate.
I wouldn't read too much into the national security justification.
It's a political argument to an economic policy.
If this is about military capability, why ban all foreign manufacturers, including proven innovators like Helsing and Baykar?
Instead of blanket bans, targeted contracts could leverage Ukraine tested designs while building domestic capacity.
Innovation happens under competitive pressure. The US just created a domestic vacuum.
The national security justification is that we need expertise building/designing drones. We won't get that if we allow China to out-compete domestic manufacturers.
Essentially migrating codebases, implementing features, as well as all of the referencing of existing code and writing tests and various automation scripts that are needed to ensure that the code changes are okay. Over 95% of those tokens are reads, since often there’s a need for a lot of consistency and iteration.
It works pretty well if you’re not limited by a tight budget.
It's all very well being more public, until a government decides to make 5 years of social media history an entry condition[0], and moreover imprisons those people who are denied entry instead of simply sending them home on the next flight[1].
I have no problem with this per se, as I have no plans to go to the US this decade, but I do worry about contagion. Perhaps being a public person on the internet is an idea whose time has come and gone.
My father lived through the Uruguay dictatorship in the 1970s and avoids all social media whenever possible.
I was an infant at the beginning of democracy, so I haven't taken that much care.
Now, it seems he'll be vindicated once again, I do plan on visiting the USA and I'm hoping my social media won't be an obstacle (fortunately I don't think I have anything, but who knows, maybe I liked a meme or something).
Was Obama funding Aaron Swartz's efforts to scrape JSTOR?
Some people have the personality trait of loving to build collections or archives. Either for idealistic reasons (knowledge deserves to be free) or just because it's fun.
When that personality trait intersects with technical ability, we get projects such as the Internet Archive, Archive Team, Library Genesis, etc. There is no reason to assume state sponsorship, and 2/3 of those definitely aren't state sponsored.
From my experience it's the opposite. On the old internet, forums, newsgroups, people willingly used their real names to communicate with strangers. They treated the internet as an extension of real life where of course you use your real name, what else?
Nowadays, using your real name is dangerous, lest you get swatted or an angry mob decides to get you fired because you made an off-color joke. Doxxing someone is viewed as a potentially violent act. It's hard to imagine anyone using their real name on Discord for instance, whereas in the days of IRC it was common.
Huh. I may be younger than you are. By the time I got online in the early to mid-nineties the very strong zeitgeist was never to use your real name, nor to post identifying details into (the resultingly anonymized) fora. This was the "on the internet no one knows you're a dog" era, which cartoon (I just looked it up) was from 1993 - way earlier than I'd have guessed!
Social media - starting with the very early ones: Six Degrees, Friendster, maybe MySpace? - weakened that expectation, but (someone tell me if this is accurate) my recollection is that Facebook was the first platform to require realname accounts. I agree with you about the current danger, and though I've never posted anything anywhere that I wouldn't stand behind - trolling just isn't my style - I have, reflecting the pov of my "internet generation", always felt super weird publicly posting anything under my real name.
It's more like the genocide in Gaza is the uncommon case where western propaganda was openly rejected by the population, at least by younger people, despite a concerted top-down effort to try to convince people that genocide is actually concordant with western values. Though it did take some time.
It's the propaganda that nobody questions that is most insidious.
We can't dismiss the role TikTok played in breaking the standard media narrative in the west. I grew up following this issue since I am in a group that is on the receiving end of this conflict.
I occasionally think about software that has truly transformed the trajectory of humanity. So much software is just disposable or is only useful for a small group of people. But the folks at TikTok should be commended in some ways for the drastic changes their algorithm made to the views of worldwide youth. Was it altruistic or nefarious? I suspect we won't know for sure until its written in the history books but man did it have an impact. Even though TikTok is probably gone now that its been taken over by the same people who used to shape the narrative its impact wont be easily forgotten.
How many of us developers get a chance to write software that really changes the direction the world takes?
> Type inference is usually reserved for more general algorithms that can inspect not only how a variable is initialized, but how the variable used, such as what functions it's passed into, etc...
In a modern context, both would be called "type inference" because unidirectional type inference is quite a bit more common now than the bidirectional kind, given that many major languages adopted it.
If you want to specify constraint-based type inference then you can say global HM (e.g. Haskell), local HM (e.g. Rust), or just bidirectional type inference.
This isn't about whether Apple allows outside payment links or not. It's about whether Apple takes a percentage cut from outside payments.
Is Apple actually checking outside payments for scams outside of review times? Do they check non-payment links for scams outside of review times? How often?
The point is that they should only be able to charge a fee for work they are truly doing, and it shouldn't be retaliatory.
