I think that's up to device vendors giving parents decent controls and parents monitoring their kids devices. Which is admittedly not great, but still better than the honor system and more reasonable than submitting your license.
On a superficial level it's a lot nicer than Ada for people who didn't learn to program on Pascal. Rust's real flaws don't show up until you need to do large refractors and change your application's memory model.
By litigate I mean, if a person is creating something and says they don't plan to distribute it, do we take their word for it?
If it ends up getting distributed anyway, should we take their word that it was an accident?
We consider people's private data important enough that if you leak it even by mistake you are on the hook for that. You have a responsibility.
I think that rather than framing this as something harmless unless distributed and therefore intent to distribute matters, we should treat it as something you have a responsibility not to create because it will be harmful when it is inevitably distributed.
Well it sets an upper bound on compute requirements at 'simulate 10^27 atoms for thirty years' remains to be seen if what we can optimize away ever converges with what's feasible to build.
I agree strongly with your gut reaction. I personally use it as the archive of record whenever I digitize some media that would otherwise be lost. I use it when trying to establish how something looked in the past. I don't need IA to go out and pick losing fights with publishers at the expense of the excellent services they already provide.
It should be noted that if you want digital book loans Libby is fine.
I'm trying to picture how the other room music is supposed to work. Are you cranking the volume on your TV speakers loud enough to hear in the other toom, or using the PC to control an extra set or far away speakers, or did people used to wire their houses with everywhere speakers controlled from a single receiver?
Great video. Haven't finished it yet, but did he ever explain why you'd want your media center to be luggable? I feel like if they'd ditched the screen and keyboard they would have something better than a modern streaming box except in 2006, but maybe they sold something like that too.
I really like nonfiction, so I'll recommend a few.
Wonderful Life (Stephen Jay Gould) was what really helped me understand biology. Really interesting read if you want to hear about evolution or paleontology. If you prefer land animals to Cambrian bugs, Rise and Fall of dinosaurs (Steve Brusatte) is also a great read, though it didn't blow my mind as much as Gould did.
House and Soul of a new Machine (both by Tracy Kidder) are op opposite ends of the technical spectrum but together form a rich portrait of people at work.
Exploding The Phone (Phil Lapsely) is the book you want if you're at all interested in retro technology. I suspect many people who care enough to use a ln offbeat social network like this one will enjoy it.
Annals of the former world (John McPhee) is a hefty tome that tells the natural history of United States geology, the history of geology (especially how plate tectonics were discovered) and how geology has interacted with the people living on it.
