I'm sorry, but that smacks of post-rationalization. Brevity used to be a benefit in the old days with slow connections, but the examples you give are also a small set of super-frequently-used coreutils commands. There are plenty of less core commands where brevity is a hindrance, not a helper, to understanding. For example, git has so many options that short options isn't even feasible for most of them.

As for "cop out" — it's not like long options prevent you from writing good documentation! Those are two different, unrelated things. If my tool has an argument "--force", that's sort of self-documenting, to be sure, which "-f" isn't. But most tools do need to document exactly what "--force" does, irrespective of whether it's a long option. GNU's lack of documentation can't be claimed on option style.

Your argument also sets up another false dichotomy: The presence of long options doesn't preclude to possibility of having short ones (--force maps to -f and so on), or indeed the possibility of short command names.

PS. I noticed the other comment about shell autocompletion. I use zsh, and I autocompletion of long options works just fine (including just typing -- + tab and getting a list of available options).
isn't your concern addressed by the original article?

True, the BSD License does not explicitly state
that the licensee receives the right to use the
licensed software under the licensor’s patents. But
I’ve never heard any lawyer postulate that that
document does not grant a license to fully exploit the
licensed software under all of the licensor’s
intellectual property. Anyone who pushes that view is
thinking too hard.

Yes, there are models of personality that, unlike MBTI, have a scientific basis for the selection of their dimensions.

That there are widespread problems with psychological research does not mean that there is no reason to apply standards when evaluating proposed models in the field (in fact, it's a good reason to be particularly careful in doing so.)
I haven't fully worked through it yet, but I've been really enjoying reading John Baez's Gauge Fields, Knots, and Gravity [1].

I work with an old DEC guy who co-wrote a book about the BLISS compiler back in the day. He thought it made a much better "portable assembly language" than C.

He also likes to talk about the binary compatibility on VMS; e.g., VAX binaries that run unchanged on Itanium. Unfortunately, that commitment to compatibility has wavered a bit since HP offshored VMS maintenance. We've had to work around some breaking changes recently.

If I'm understanding these slides correctly, AMD64 VMS would require recompiling VAX, Alpha, and Itanium applications from source. I kind of see a chicken-and-egg problem: application vendors won't port without demand, and customers won't adopt without applications.
Did you try increasing the font size a bit? On a retina macbook (so effectively ~2x bigger font) I get:

Excited about this... but the OCR quality seems to be very bad. Maybe it's not optimized for recognizing black text on a white background.
For example, I took a screenshot of this comment and ran it through the demo and got this:
With all due respect, that second paragraph seems to be sort of exactly the type of woo woo thinking us asshole NYC types associate with San Franscisco's intractable politics around this problem. It's a genuinely hard problem, but it's hard to see how "be kind" bumper sticker proposals are a serious response.
How do the schools in Connecticut compare to the schools in a state like Nebraska?

I ask because I think it can be hard to generalize from an area like Connecticut that is really quite high population density and quite wealthy to the US in general (in CT a student might be a reasonable distance to 3 or 4 large high schools. In Nebraska, they might be a reasonable distance to 1 tiny school).
Anecdotally, in my experience it's not that the parents are "better" its that the parents have school as an actual priority.

Poorer communities often have a culture so different than the average HN reader that most of us can't possibly understand it. (I learned this as a result of being a foster parent)

It depends on how many movies you watch whether the mail plan is cheaper than paying on-demand. On-demand prices drop fairly quickly, go on sale periodically, and things like Google Rewards earn you digital credit. Also, RedBox is still an option if needed.

It's the reality. It is always better and cheaper. If you have a copy of your favorite show you never have to worry about a legal battle between businesses that will change the distribution. Piracy has even become a business because if you are willing to pay a little you can get even more reliable sources.

Because sunk costs are sunk, and fixed costs are fixed. In a commoditized market, the cost of the product is most directly impacted by the marginal cost to produce one additional copy. It doesn't matter if you had $100M in your production budget, or just $1k, because all it takes to make one more copy is a few squirts of electrons and a pinch of network bandwidth.

For digital goods, marginal cost of production is so near to zero that the only thing you can really sell profitably is an artificial legal right to distribute the copies.
Being "serious about Open Source" doesn't mean a commitment to do anything to support people using your software.

It's the opposite, actually: the original copyleft licenses such as the GPL were explicitly designed to promote Open Source by hindering adoption in some cases, namely those where companies want to distribute derivative works commercially.

Then the BSD/MIT-style licenses weakened this restriction. So you're free to use React in a commercial product.

But Facebook, Apple etc. care a lot about patents these days. Not offensively, as far as we can tell, but they have now been burned repeatedly by often trivial patents being used to extract hundreds of million from them.

So they added these 'patentleft' clauses to their licenses to essentially undermine the patent system in regards to software. As it gets more difficult to build anything without some library that includes this clause, fewer and fewer actors will have the freedom to sue without consequences.

Being opposed to patents on intellectual property in the first case, I can only applaud these efforts. In fact, they should probably go further and extend the protection to everyone: If you use IP patents against Jane Doe, you may no longer use React.

The only problem is the rise of entities focused entirely on patent-litigation.

The "entrance fee" in this case would be: understanding promises. When you introduce a new feature into a language, my assumption is that a "less-experienced dev", by definition, would not have experience using promises in production. So if you're going to sprinkle in higher-level (or just new) concepts into your code, you're assuming a certain level of experience for the devs who will come after you. If, instead, you sort of "spell everything out", it will take more words to do that, but you aren't referencing an assumed set of shared knowledge.

If anything, I think it would help to identify what assumptions are inherent in our code, and at least point to references for a "less-experienced dev" in the comments. A comment that said: "Hey you! This code uses promises, so if you don't know about those, check out this ref: [URL]", would be extremely helpful in this case.
Only for apps it doesn't support natively or can't find the form fields for. For most apps it will autofill the fields if it can find them.

Sometimes your only option is copy/paste tho.
"Powered by a chip you can actually buy" - lets hope so.

Assuming thats a reference to the rpi Zero which, as of November, has been out a full year and still must be bought one at a time. Seems like we'll never be able to build more than one or two of something based on the zero.

Do wish nextthing would rebrand it because its impossible to Google "chip" and hope to find anything related to this. How about "NESOC" - pronounced "knee sock" and short for nextthing SOC?
I've used and loved bitbucket for years for private project hosting, but for the occasion where I need to put more devs on a particular project I'm not sure why I would pay for it now over using gitlab for free. It might be different if it was 5 users per project for free, but 5 collaborators across all of my projects is just too limiting - especially when I can get everything bb has and more from gitlab.

At the same time I understand bb needs to make money - hopefully they'll make enough to keep up the competition.
I'm sure people have suggested this, but what's the thinking about giving people housing stipends instead of making them live in a specific building which is annexed for a housing project? Seems like this could address some of the shortcomings of housing projects such as racial segregation and concentration of crime.

To me it's the GPL of patents; it's a viral anti-patent license. Once you use React you must disarm in the destructive patent wars. I wish more popular software were released with it.

Hello Everybody,

Hasan from Dalf here. I hope you like the video and of course Dalf itself. :)

TLDW: Dalf is an Open Source application framework for building web and mobile apps in Go, HTML, JS, and CSS. It is very suitable for applications with cloud-based backends and multi-platform clients.

As you can see in the video, Dalf requires zero configuration, delivers full-stack automation, and is open to any change you may ever need. It helps us, developers, from the first line of code to the deployment of production systems.

What you see is just a glimpse of Dalf platform. We would love to get your feedback before our launch which is hopefully very soon.

I will be online and waiting for your kind comments and questions.

Thank you very much for your time!
Except the contact card has meta-information like: company they work at, where they're located, etc. (including custom fields you can create).

A contact card could definitely be used for that. If one exists, Siri should give the info from it and then wait to see if the user also wants external information (from Wikipedia or elsewhere).
Umm... there are about 100 services that will rent/sell you a movie online. I use Amazon for all my movie rental needs. Works great.
Sadly the first circle is not self-reinforcing (and, sadly, the second cycle is entirely accurate).

Instead, in the 'good exurban schools' case, the evolution usually goes:

1. Rural, periphery area attracts affluent folks seeking bigger houses on cheaper land. High-end residential subdivisions are developed.

2. Increased tax revenue allows for good schools, nice government amenities.

3. Good schools attract additional residents. Residential population swells, commercial and industrial population remains low.

4. Residential brings fewer tax dollars per infrastructure cost than commercial or industrial. At some point, municipal costs (roads, sewer, fire, schools) begin to approach revenue. Services are cut. Schools decline, making residents eligible to contemplate moving to another area in step #1 or step #3. Those who can't afford to move to a newer area stay; they are thus on average lower-income than those who left. At this point, there is a danger of falling into the second cycle.

How many songs actually get licensed for movies and tv shows out of the millions of songs that are on Spotify? Political campaigns do not have to have a license to use music. Artists have been complaining about political parties using their music forever.

Radio stations have to pay royalties to the songwriters and musicians but not the singers.

No matter how bad or unpopular a movie is, a studio will always make some money on a theatrically released movie, with each of the distribution mechanisms.

Serialized fiction has a fundamentally different structure from feature films. Even in film series, you don't typically have the sort of multi-layered narrative with cliffhangers that keeps people going from one to the next. Star Wars ends with the good guys winning and the death star blowing up. There's no reason to straight to Empire Strikes Back.
I do not.

Based on the iodine content that naturally occurs in foods I don't think I am at risk of iodine deficiency. This is part of my strategy of diversity as well. For example, turkey and potatoes are both high in iodine. While I try to avoid carb-based meals I might include a half of a potato in a shredded cabbage salad that might be 80% cabbage. When you add up other items like tomatoes, eggs, some beans, etc. I don't think I'm missing anything.

IMO the "Section 8" (housing vouchers) seems to be a market solution to housing issues and helps fight segregation (when landlords arent doing illegal things). One of the solutions to classism is to have people mix more. Live together, school together, work together, marry together.

I agree that protestors have no right to destroy property that doesn't belong to them.

I don't agree that the police should be expected to confront protestors just because they shut down an interstate. You have no basic human right to not be inconvenienced at all by non-violent protestors. Non-violent protests that happen to shut down an interstate at some point should not be met with riot shields and swat teams.

High minimum wage reduces opportunity for those capable of working to find work.

Ok, apparently I touched on quite a nerve here.

1.) I never said you don't need UX designers, I said you don't need UX designers to tell you that your video shouldn't stutter in the middle of playback.

2.) I didn't downvote you, nor did I respond to you.

3.) Yes, exactly. They can tell you there's a problem and monitor whether it's being solved but it's up to the engineers to fix it. Furthermore, I reject your implication that engineers nor anyone who isn't a UX designer (e.g. a PM) is sticking up for the customer. I wasn't belittling UX designers, but you're sure as hell belittling others.

Sorry you have had such a bad experience that you need to attack a strawman to stick up for UX designers. I know the value of UX designers. I stand by my opinion that they don't need to have ANYTHING to do with fixing a video buffering problem, or recognizing that it is a problem.

Because it's a basic site with a handful of pages with a blog that is built as a single page app. All the HTML of the page is generated by Javascript and dumped into the lone div inside the body. So, you take the big hit at first load but then it's snappy after that.

Although, I would think the load size and speed for such a basic site would be better with standard HTML for everything but the blog.

Also, the main JS file is 1690 lines long and even though it says it is min in the file name, it doesn't seem to be minified.

They do this here in the UK, it's called housing benefit. Still get segregation due to affordability of housing, but in part it's there to get around issues suurounding ghettoised sink estates and allow people freedom to live where they need to live.
The OSI are opposed to software patents anyway, so I doubt that they have a problem with them becoming worthless.

"Freedom" is an empty slogan in this regard. Copyleft licenses have long restricted your freedom, the idea being that there are colliding "freedoms" under some circumstances and it's for the greater good of society to restrict some peoples "freedom" (those creating derivative works) for the benefit of of the end-user.
