> The GPL is user-centered. It's not designed to be nice to developers, but to protect the user's freedoms. *

* Unless those users are developers.

I still haven't figured out the distancing and discouraging of LGPL. A lot of software doesn't have much distinction between user and programmer. GPL is one of the worst licenses for a library.

No, right now I don't have too much to brag about :)
Let me summarise it a bit more for you.

Buy low, sell high.
The GPL enforces users' freedom. The BSD/MIT licenses allow for users' freedom. Proprietary restrictive licenses prevent users' freedom.
I'm sorry but you should be at the very least impatient with them, as a customer. This thing doesn't even come out until 2018 and you're using the 2010.

Problem: Kickstarter et al founders not communicating shipping information. I'm looking at you Antsy Labs!

Project: Crowdsourced backer shipping data. A backer can share their order date, delivery date, and optionally their order number. This allows other backers to see when (if!) orders are being shipped and delivered. We can then estimate when backers should get their order.

Audience: Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers.

Stack: Rails 5 API on Heroku+PostgreSQL, S3 hosted React client.

Launching: This week.
Since you look like a throwaway, how much much is your stake worth? How do you actually spend it?
It's important to remember that not all of your state needs to be in Redux. Redux is supposed to supplement local state, not replace it.

Create namespaces in your store, it helps a ton with maintainability in the long run. Name your mutations consistently: describe what you're doing to what kind of data as briefly as you can.

Keeping these few guidelines in mind, building huge applications using any flux-like pattern is quite straight-forward and easy to reason about.
Adding to that: I use ConEmu.
Yep, that's where I'd go if forced to. I've seen some pretty nice screenshots from the newest window managers of late. I value design and ease of use quite a bit though and the number of complaints about things not working or tools not being as good (think Adobe CS) on Linux puts me off.

Another horror story: A friend of mine had booked a trip with Ryanair to Hungary for a week, Sunday to next Saturday. A few days before the trip, Ryanair calls him and tells him that the Sunday flight is not going to happen due to low occupancy, but they can transfer his booking to the Sunday after that. He had already booked the hotel, so he only agreed grudgingly, figuring that he might be able to transfer that booking for next week and asked whether the return flight would be on a Saturday as well, but Ryanair's answer was incredible:

The Saturday (return) flight is going to fly as scheduled, so they said it wasn't their responsibility to reschedule it for free. He could either pay out of his pocket to reschedule his return flight (if he could find a suitable flight), or he could return from Hungary a day before he actually flew there.

Fuck Ryanair.
So what is the solution?

What do you do about the expansion of populations (http://www.nzdl.org/gsdl/collect/fnl2.2/archives/HASH8cd2.di...) in developing countries that are still waiting for rapid growth? Intuitively, as they transition to developed economies that will come with greater CO2 emissions. Do you force them to adapt less economically viable sources of energy consumption? Natural gas may be the best bet there. I am not holding my breath for solar power and wind turbines to be adopted by countries that still face widespread malnutrition.

I don't think democracy and liberal capitalism will have any consequential solution to global warming, people are too inherently motivated by short-term and local gain. Unfortunately, any massive change will probably have to be dictatorial/authoritarian/militant, what are the byproducts of that?
A coin flip with 50/50 odds is understandable even without predictions.

I've personally seen most of these jobs ain't truly remote either, since they restrict core jobs to local regions mostly so that they can call employees at times.

The good thing is, it is growing; the not-so-good thing is it is still being looked down upon and not considered as the best option when organization grows or achieves X amount of revenue. You know what I mean.

I work as remote developer, or remote a dev agency for my customers (mostly in the US) and they also strive for having their own On-site team once they raise big funds, no matter how good we work from our location; so some hard realities are also there. :)

We don't. I'm an midwestern american college student and "roommate" means "someone that shares your living space" whether that be sharing a room to sleep or just sharing kitchen/bathroom/living room space. The only alternative I've heard is "suitemate" in suite-style dorms.
People don't care about FOSS -> society is going to collapse.

I would argue that if "western" society collapses, it's pretty much the end of humanity. I don't think the Roman Empire was responsible for half the world's GDP and at least half the world's nuclear arsenal... Also, the British are still around. They just gave up trying to control the whole world in an era before speed of light communication.
Perhaps one of the silver linings of growing up poor was that I, and my friends, were conscious of money, or its lack. I wanted to pursue a writing degree and knew I shouldn't spend a ton of money on it, so I stayed local and worked to mostly pay my way through my first degree. My friends went to fancier schools, but did it in pursuit of business degrees, looking to get a good return on their education.

The point being, because we maybe understood money a little better, we made more practical decisions with regards to education. We certainly didn't get useful advice from our parents or school.
IMO, also as an observer since it started, Bitcoin is media driven. Every time it reaches new peaks it gains attention in media/blogs/etc until it something bad happens like a hack/etc to trigger a sell off and it falls out of favor of media. Eventually it repeats. It may be getting to a point where it doesn't feel beta. It's a viable alternative when crazy economic things are going on in India/China/etc and it starts actually becoming the thing it's supposed to be: currency. Then, limited trading volume drives prices up.

I took a full semester course on Godel's Incompleteness Theorems in college and found it rewarding. It was one of those experiences that convinced me that hand-wavy familiarity with stuff sometimes pales by contrast to a deep dive.

One of the professors also had a very old newspaper clipping taped up (it was brown then and that was quite a while ago), about several mathematicians committing suicide in the wake of those proofs. I've looked for corroboration of this and have never found it. A bit difficult to comprehend from a modern perspective, but more plausible with an appreciation of the 19th Century faith in rationalism / logical positivism that Godel helped overturn.

Not many people are aware that Godel spent much of his life secretly working on a modern update of an ontological argument for God's existence, and didn't reveal this until late in life -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_ontological_pro...

I bought late, I'm wondering why watching it real time drop in rice by potentially hundreds, at least I consider it disposable income

edit: what I'm considering is selling if it goes up twice what I put into it, to at least get what I put in then keep what I have, and let it fluctuate. But I realize I'd miss out on the "compounding interest" by having more to increase than less.

Agreed, though if the incentives weren't so misaligned it wouldn't doom you to 20-30 years of struggle if/when you didn't think for yourself.

For example, if the loans weren't backed by Uncle Sam there would be some threshold at which the loan providers would say "OK people studying this aren't getting jobs." Or if the universities that were promising careers had their feet held to the fire somehow before it had to reach ITT Tech billions of dollars.

I've been thinking a lot about a model in which education is extended as credit. If students paid back a percentage of income how would that change colleges? I don't have all of the answers, and bootstrapping that kind of thing is rough, but I'm trying a few experiments along those lines that could be very interesting at scale.
I'm really, really surprised you said thinner/lighter. I have a few years old MacBook Pro and it's already plenty thin and light for a "Pro" laptop.

A lot of the other things you list are in direct conflict with thinner/lighter, and Apple's obsession with thinness is probably why you don't have them.

> Android itself has had big media decode vulnerabilities in the past (looking at you libstagefright) but they basically turned out not to be readily exploitable due to ASLR on modern devices.

That's what the optimist says.

The pessimist says, "Android itself has had big media decode vulnerabilities in the past and they only turned out not to be readily exploitable due to ASLR on modern devices".
Which is unfortunate because it means it's impossible to create a future version of the GPL that actually protects the rights of users in the modern world.

GPLv4 should really be based on the AGPL, but that would violate freedom zero. The restrictions in the GPL are becoming increasingly pointless. For a large section of the computing industry the GPL is functionally identical to the liberal BSD style licences because the program will never be "distributed", only made available over a network.
Show HN: Articly – Automated Blog Writing as a Service
Hey HN,

I'm super nervous to share this, but we've been working on beta testing our blog writing service for a while now and we have officially launched. We'd love any feedback you have on the site, pricing, etc.

Articly.me (https://articly.me) - Articly is a blog writing service that is focused on automating the writing of content for startups looking to get started in content marketing. Articly provides you a simple monthly content strategy based on your goals, and then our team of writers sends you a blog post every week to post to your site.

Once again, any feedback is helpful!
Carl Hewitt (of Actor model fame) has this thing where he claims that contradiction alone allows you to defeat Godel Incompleteness, so he shops it around places and everyone's like, "man, wtf, this isn't how that works". I saw him shop it to D. Hofstadter and Hofstadter basically smiled and took the little piece of paper and threw it away when Carl wasn't looking.

This doesn't have anything to do with anything, just a thing that happened
I submitted the article but as there are spoilers in it I can't read it, as I'm half way through the series!
also on a second thought, once things become incremental, chances of someone doing the same increment as another one (who generates that 100M) is high, hence the lower pay.

A nicely designed item is unrelated to where it should be placed. The OP was specifically saying that Apple lost the Pro market because the unit "demanded" to be put on the desk which is absurd since the Mac Pro can be placed anywhere that the cables allow it to.

You're right

One aspect that supports useless degree seekers is that it's not about "today's" job market, its about having the degree forever to give an advantage in any job market

You make a good point. Yet the entire time I'm reading it, the main thought going through my mind, is people shouldn't have to make choices like this about education. And definitely not in a democracy.
> If 95% of the scientists of the whole world agree the global warming exists and is human caused.

Yes, some of it, but not your actual network information (friends, contacts), at least not in a way that is meaningful outside of those services.
You're not weird. PowerShell does have barriers to entry and that's why I also had used Cygwin on Windows until recently. And it might not change because it is a very different monster than POSIX. It is unfortunate for sure, but still I think it's worth learning especially if you use Windows frequently.

Even if you don't, learning it is a fun experience. It's like learning Haskell just to feel another way to program, even though you're not using it in practice.
Seen from the company's perspective, a user posting a negative Amazon review BEFORE contacting the manufacturer for help is upsetting, especially when as others have noted, it's a product you've invested a lot in, and suddenly you have someone publicly advising others not to buy it. Of course this can cause even a well-meaning employee to go straight to damage control.

Not that I'm defending the person here, though. This is a total overreaction, and very condascending. Insulting your customer by questioning their maturity is not going to help your relationship, they've basically abandoned all hope of solving the customer's problem right from the start (going directly against their role as customer support) and again tried to do damage control, not realising they're part of the Twitter generation.

What's even worse is that the account name is the exact name of the company/product, so it's totally official, and endorsed by the head of the company. If it was any other name, it could be passed off as a rogue representative having a bad day, but to see something like this coming from the official account, that if you don't play how we want you to play, we'll kick you out, is sure to put others off.

Not that I needed or ever wanted a 'cloud-connected garage door opener' but hell, I would never buy one from this company now.
These types of things are always a cause and effect relationship, and I feel we never look at the cause.

This line bothers me in particular:

> So, is college still worth it? In the most simplistic terms, yes.

It is only worth it because we've made it a requirement to find employment with growth potential outside of the trades or sales. Hell, even some sales jobs are requiring degrees now.

If Corporate America was honest with itself about which jobs REALLY required a degree versus just some level of experience, college would become devalued in some respects.

I'm 'one of the lucky ones'. I don't have a degree, I work in a fairly important job for a fortune 100 company. I am paid fairly well for my area and I enjoy my job. My experience built up over time got me to where I am, but I know many others who weren't afforded the same chance just because their resume didn't have a piece of paper and debt attached to it. That being said I'll probably eventually hit a wall where I can't advance anymore, and I'm probably OK with that.

The other cause we've failed to address is the constantly rising cost of going to college. Government programs to increase loan availability (and forgiveness) have just raised the price, because the student can "afford" it.
Definitely. Companies can either "allow remote work" or be "remote first". I've worked at both types.

The ones who are "allow remote work" are entirely office-focused and view remote workers with suspicion. A remote worker is very unlikely to get promoted, be able to take on interesting projects or large responsibilities. And they'll be out of the loop as far as what is going on in the company. (Even at a large company with probably 15% of the workers remote, it was frequent that people would just forget to open up a conference line for company-wide announcement meetings.)

On the other hand, "remote first" companies structure themselves around tools to enable remote working. So meetings happen online (via phone or web conference), project discussion or just water cooler chat happens in a messaging system like Slack or IRC, and projects are documented in a system accessible to everyone. In these environments remote workers are first class citizens and are as much a part of the company as any other.

I was at a "remote first" company that grew out of the open source development world for close to 5 years. I went to a company with the "allow remote work" model and lasted barely a year before leaving for another "remote first" company. It was a painful year, but at least now I know what to look for.

> most of their pro users use MacBooks and most of the rest use iMacs — and that they have big plans in store for the pro segment of both of those product lines

I think this makes talk about the Macbook Pro on topic.
GPL offers protections for the users, so it prevents developers restricting the users freedom, GPL prevents restricting users so ONLY developers that want to restrict users freedom feel restricted. It is like in society where your freedoms are limited to prevent removing the freedom from others, like you are not free to kill people because you teke the freedom to live from them. So killing is illegal is protecting freedom not removing freedom.
I remap jk too so you just mash them both at the same time and it doesn't matter the order.

One of my favorite things to knock on about is how we live in a capitalist society but our compulsory education doesn't ever address basic finance & economics. Most of these kids have no idea what interest is or what their post graduation payments are going to be like unless they've had the fortune of a knowledgeable parent or teacher taking the time to explain things.

It's kind of shameful to me that I was 30 years old and getting an engineering degree before I ever encountered the idea that money has a time value, hence interest.
