Comparing the choices of individuals with foreign diplomacy is specious. It is much harder for countries to have principles than individuals.


The same can be said of boardroom politics and board of directors. Or investment circles such as tech venture capital


They don't have principles.


Even "maximize the hegemonic monopolistic power of my claws" can be taken as mindset principles.

Having principles is orthogonal to striving adoption of ethical fair well being for everyone.


Yeah, but they don't really seem to have that either.


Chief executives are so often transients.


This looks like it might be good for people who post a lot on social media, to organise or recycle their content.


Thanks! I actually use it for interview prep—saving system design posts from Reddit and coding tips from LinkedIn. It keeps all my resources organized in one place.


The article says "That's why I've spent way too long thinking about the optimal arrangement of keys on a keychain, to reduce egress time to a minimum.

If you need to find your keys to get out of your house, that's not ideal in an emergency. I think the author is talking about ingress, getting into one's home.


No. For me, since 2010 at least, it's been a negotiation in practice, if not in the written contract terms.


It can't reliably cite its source for an answer.


Hardly matters for Stackoverflow like questions if the provided solutions work/solve the problem you're having. Which for me happens majority of the time (with GPT-4 not the free version).


If you copy-paste solutions from SO then please at least cite your sources and their license (CC-BY-SA).


You might not want to hear this but no one does this. Should they? probably. But most people don't use Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V in the first place for SO answers.


Just a single data point, but when I copy & paste a snippet from Stack Overflow, I always add a comment "// source: https://stack overflow.com/questions/xxx#yyy".

I both find it respectful of who wrote the answer in the first place and useful for future users of the code: the Stack Overflow answer often provides context and explanation for what would otherwise be an obscure piece of code.

Pretty darn useful if you ask me: those who want to have more information can follow the link, casual readers can skip it, and the whole process if fair to the author.


I don't think I've ever copied enough from Stackoverflow for copyright to become relevant. Rarely more than one line verbatim.

It embarrasses me to think that somebody should feel obliged to cite me when they use one of my answers. I don't know how to take the partnership with Openai though. They bill me when I use their service, it's not collaborative like Stackoverflow.


No one should copy paste any solutions from anywhere. FWIW, 99% of the content in SO is hardly "original", mostly copy-pasted themselves from previous solutions or original user guide/manuals.


In general I'd agree that it's best to use answers just as a guide. That said, I wasn't trying to pass judgement, just ask attribution which is a best practice and often required by the license itself.


'It would be a shame if you were to join a union and something terrible happened...'


Very low compared to not bollards.


I feel seen. (Author here.)

Indeed, the cost of bollards is _dramatically_ lower than 'not bollards'.

Also, a one time spend for permanent safety, for years or decades. It's a slam dunk.


But who would substitute a no risk asset for a high risk one? This is a specious comparison.


In the long run, cash is the high risk asset. Cash is low volatility, not low risk.


Someone who wants put their money to work.

Lots of cash doing nothing on the sidelines is risky in the long term because inflation. A "risky asset" is risky in the short term because of volatility.


It’s completely different. The acceptable risk profile changes depending on a lot of factors, not only returns on investments. Someone holding on NASDAQ in back in the day would not see their investment go back to 2001 levels until 2016. That was quite a deep hole to climb out of.


Did you find any games to contribute to?


Not really. Hard to find any decent open source game unfortunately, but also lost interest in using my day job also as a hobby and focused on other kind of software to help when possible.


If you wanna give it a another shot and you like Zelda, check out my profile. We'll be kinder.


No OP but I enjoyed contributing to Minetest!
