I've seen it done on some websites. Typically as a partnership with an online shop that sells things of interest for the website audience.

It is probably very effective if you have an audience with well targeted interests. For example a site about espresso coffee may partner with a shop that sells high end espresso machines and specialty coffee.

However, it is much harder if a website has a broader audience. A news network probably has no clue about what visitors want to spend their money on, so either they use an ad network that does the targeting for them, or they are limited to less beneficial generic partnerships.
Happens too often. And the media is more than happy to boost the hysterics.

Case in point: Child commits suicide. Parents seize on admission that he smoked salvia in his diary. Parents become convinced Salvia Killed Their Son, launch crusade to criminalize use of salvia. All available scientific evidence points to child being depressed and salvia not being capable of causing depression or thoughts of suicide. No one cares because parents are loud and convinced and passionate. State passes law banning salvia; names it after dead child.

oh my goodness. Are these links not evident?

use term for pejorativeness! -> good term has been corrupted! -> term corruption is inevitable! -> implications when used in this context! -> watch out for fallacies in implications!

and from there... you're laser-focused on extracting something. Which step isn't clear?

Also, an implication of "your view is irrelevant" is completely antithetical to discussion forums at all (not to mention completely insulting), and yet here you are tons of replies later. At a purely technical level, your view of dissent of the flagged parent might be claimed not relevant, because it didn't agree with whatever they said.

"There's a massive global discussion on how Vitamin C helps prevent/cure the common cold. Appealing to massive global discussion solves nothing."

It's not in the media, and it's a pretty settled deal with some dissent, similar to flat earth or global warming or whatever. The media discredits or ignores that view of vitamin C.

However, vitamin C isn't a social issue.

The thrust is if continual presence in the media (where outrage is literally presented as a global discussion of social issues), and to a lesser extent continual presence in non-fringe major site internet discussions, are valid indicators of a major social issue? Also, have you made a somewhat tacit agreement that it is at least globally discussed? That's progress!
If you don't switch the note 3 to movie mode the color are super saturated. It is not accurate at all but maybe that is what you like over the iPhone? Side by side the iPhone will look dull compared to the note 3.
I remember reading about a guy who had a scheduled task run at 5 pm. It would check if he was still logged on, and if he was, it would automatically send an SMS to his wife to explain he would be home a little bit late. It would also check if he had logged in by 8am, and if he hadn't it would automatically send an e-mail to relevant parties saying he was running late.
VS Code is one of the most organised/well-run open source projects that I know. Just take a look at their updates ie. (https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_11). I'm just as excited to read the updates as I am to try each new release.

It's a bit unfair to compare a well-backed enterprise team to a small one (with 2-3 devs?), but it sure does make for an awesome user experience for developers.
Buy another license and gift it to someone ;)
I hope the community and project can be reconciled. Not for the sake of Drupal, but for everyone involved however tangentially.

Thank you for succinctly distilling down the generation gap between my generation and those born after.
The article and title are a bit sensational but makes valid points.
Because those costs grow orders of magnitude as they're externalized. $1000 spent during development can offset $1M in energy wasted by a million users. So they should want to pay those costs as responsible members of civilized society.

And if they don't want to, they should be forced to by said society.
I doubt they learned anything in prison; this is stuff they knew when they came in. Don't assume that everyone in prison is some kind of illiterate moron.
Right. OK.

So, while some aspects of what we know from neuroscience and modern medicine map pretty closely to some eastern practices, those practices are embedded in superstitious religions that are no different from their counterparts in other regions.

The real goal is to procreate. There is no soul or divinity or whatever. While we can say that yes to a degree the world as experienced by my brain is like the concept of Maya and the synthesis of my inputs into consciousness are my subjective reality, that's really it. You can't get from there to "the real goal is to see the perfection of things".

The practices of meditation, visualization, etc do have benefits but they don't have to be rooted in the mysticism that spawned them. In fact, that's one of the things I like about zen. it rejects those notions because of the way that people assign baggage to them and start to worship the baggage instead of doing "the thing".

That sounds more like a bad school (/ bad teachers) than a bad study attitude, to be honest.
Community leaders are "political activists" because they exclude members that don't hold their values? Don't most membership organizations (not to mention for-profit companies) work that way?
But this implies you can then deploy your caddy server. Which means a private server with root rights. Do you realize most devs don't even know server admin ? If you know the command line, you are not most dev. You are far, far away from the reality of enterprise software.

Tomcat and apache are still massively deployed. If you moved to nginx years ago, remember than it's still a new toy for a huge number of people. So caddy...
You mean a metaphor?
I've used build 3126 for a couple of weeks (I think) and the regular, daily crashes of Sublime Text 2 have gone. Recommended.
My point is that doing so is counterproductive.

Energy/carbon costs should be the driver when choosing appropriate consumer behavior, and recycling does a surprisingly poor job of keeping overall energy costs low.

You can get fully-functional velomobiles which are basically "pedelec with a shell" but far from being mass-produced (I'm guessing you probably know this anyway). I'd love to have one but they are expensive and (in the UK) I'm sure some drivers would be very bullying or dangerous around them (it's bad enough sometimes on a bike).

Uber is able to sell rides at those prices by subsiding the drivers with investor money.

> We know that you have no desire for more press coverage, Dries. The last thing you want is to prolong the media parade that has drawn so much attention to the problems with Drupal governance.

That must be why they chose to do this in public rather than in a private letter.

As much as I agree with the contents of the letter I reject the way in which it was delivered, it is essentially blackmail. If you don't do 'x' we will leave would have been strong enough without making this yet another public spectacle because it pulls in the world at large to witness whether or not these demands are met.

I can't stand Drupal for many reasons (backwards incompatibility by design being the major one) but this is not a nice thing to do.

For problematic processes, I use kill -W -- that uses the TerminateProcess Win32 API, rather than Cygwin's POSIX implementation. I also use it to kill things like the Windows Update full-screen overlay on Windows 10.
IPFS serves things on demand. I wanted IPFS to be something like Freenet -- you publish content and the network makes sure to replicate it at least 3 times, automatically -- but IPFS doesn't work that way.

There are some free pinning services (pinning = inform a bot that you would like your content replicated, and then it takes care of it), including at #ipfs on irc.freenode.net, but the network itself doesn't come with such functionality and after I filled an issue on GitHub, it turns out the authors don't think IPFS should do that. Looks to be out of scope for them.

Outside of that, `ipfs add ...` publishes your content's hashes so everybody who knows the hashes can fetch the content from you.

(You also have `ipfs name publish ...` for publishing a website hash to IPNS, which can later be resolved via `ipfs name resolve <peerID>`)
Infections are rare. I get the impression that people with adverse reactions to LASIK and tested procedures, while also rare, are relatively more common. I'd hate to get LASIK and be one of the minority that has annoyingly dry eyes, or can't even drive at night or enjoy a movie in the dark due to halos. Am I wrong on the data?
It’s time for some game theory, United Airlines edition
This doesn't make sense to me.. is the article suggesting a picture is created from all previous pictures taken? This would mean 1. No more new pictures in time of how things have changed (a new building is where the car park was) and 2. My picture of thatbird that just landed on that branch is not quite going to turn out.. hell the tree might not even be in the picture..
I can see where you're going with this, but it seems unreasonable to clog everyone's pipe with garbage bytes. A simple usleep() before sending the response should have the same effect.
Nothing surprising to see here. This is why I seldom bother getting involved in open source projects and NEVER use my real name. Large, interesting projects are too much like this and groups quickly form using the same BS as in high school only now "wrong brand of shoes" gets replaced with "incorrect values". Whatever that heck that means.

I'm still not clear why anyone would care how he gets off on his own time, in the privacy of his home. If this is really a thing then other "identifiable" groups might want to prepare for when the pendulum swing back and then they themselves are holding "incorrect values".

cmd has nothing to do with it. Just as bash has nothing to do with parsing terminal escape sequences. It's a shell. On Unix-likes a terminal or ~ emulator will handle those escape sequences, on Windows it's the console (provided by conhost). What program you run in the console (or terminal) is completely irrelevant.

Is this a particularly prestigious publication or something? Otherwise it seems to be some random award.
I think free software is to some extend political. We try to work by a higher "inclusive" standard than what is found in society.

The letter to Dries writes:

> It is unacceptable to judge people based on unspoken, secret rules that they have no say in and cannot know.

Unacceptable? Tell that to the pope (pedo trials) and the US gov't (TPP, Guatanamo). They do this all the time. So again, if we agree this is "unacceptable" we say that many of our governing institutions are unacceptable, and thereby set a higher moral community standard then what we are governed by. I for one believe it is very important to do this.

> Ensure people carrying out illegal acts related to the conduct of others are reported to the proper authorities.

Here again it shows. "Illegal acts" are here scoped by their "relation to the conduct of others", yet are ultimately are defined by gov't. Possession of pot has been illegal, but hell no I'd turn someone in for that: I do not consider is punishment-worthy.
Interesting religion this Zoroastrianism, arguably the first monotheistic religion. Been to Iran, even to Yazd few years back, which is still world centre for this religion having their holy fire burning for centuries (millenia?) in their temple. Freddie Mercury was one, albeit born in Zanzibar. Back then he was not very proud of it, I presume in layman's view it must have been akin to some witchcraft in UK.

Just behind the city of Yazd there are towers of silence - where they chopped their dead and left them to vultures - still used in '70s. I guess their cultural revolution stopped these practices, so now they just bury their dead in big concrete slab (not spoiling the elements like earth, water or air) behind the city.

Truly remarkable places to visit, before mass tourism will come (or US bombs the place for some obscure reason completely unrelated to oil and local power games). Cannot recommend enough! Just bear in mind you won't be able to go to US afterwards but... as non-US, I would always choose such a wonderful and welcoming country and great people over police state of US these days (as much as I like regular US folks, the system you guys live in leaves much to be desired)
The actual values are not important. They are merely a tool to achieve the desired outcome when no other avenues are available.
I don't think wanting to work on open technologies and other political activities is a binary position.

Open software is built by groups of people and one part of building a community it deciding what sort of people you want to work with.
Exactly.

It's amazing how people still don't want to pay for software.

You can still 'pay' for free open source software, many projects accept donations.
You can also donate your time by contributing to projects.

You can always help pay to keep an open source project running. The same thing is a lot more difficult with closed source software once its been abandoned.

We're giving people credit for a minimum of human decency now? I'm worried that we're edging back toward the feudal system. You're talking about relations between serfs and their liege lords here, not between people in a free society.
I've used the new MBP since its release. It's fine. I have no issues with the battery and came to like the keyboard and screen.

The anti-MBP threads in HN is tiring. How many threads have we had on this? How many threads will we have on this filled with the same kind comments?

The current top comment is the same as the top comments in the previous threads. I almost think at this point people post these links and post anti-MBP comments for easy karma.

I'd rather see HN discuss something else at this point. If you don't like the new MBP don't buy it. It's fine for my programming needs. Maybe not yours, but let's discuss something else at this point on HN.
Why are you focusing on global discussion? Perhaps you're trying to move the goalposts? Plenty of things are globally discussed. Bigfoot for example.

Exactly. For me it's analogue to Patreon: Why would anyone give money on Patreon? To finance a creator for everybody?

If you would sell all the useless bytes you would serve the clean version of your website.

Ads are useless bytes. But a bit dishonestly useless. You can block them to some extent. Some will not get served to you. However there are still some ad divs or native ads that are uselessly sent to you in case of ad blocking.

I propose sending honestly useless bytes, but give people ability to strip them out for money.

Then everyone can be happy. People can support a creator. People can get a better product by paying. A creator can eat.
That was true a few years ago, but is long invalid, due to many recent changes. Nowadays it looks like this:

> * No standard identity services. NickServ is a common bolt-on, but it's a total hack. (It works by pretending it's another IRC server!)

SASL and account-notify.

> * No way to determine when certain commands have succeeded. In particular, commands which can generate multiple lines of output (like WHOIS) don't have a standardized termination. Command-line clients sidestep the issue by just showing all the output in one place; higher-level clients have to guess.

Batch messages.

You can find more at http://ircv3.net/, there’s a lot of specs on modern IRC features. IRC has changed a lot, you might want to take a look at it again ;)
>One thing I've been hoping for is inventing some form of advertising that was actually fun for the user -- fun enough that they would not want to block them.

Unfortunately it seems they've taken an other route. If users try to actively disable ads, just hide the ads amongst the actual content of your website.

I will admit to have been tricked by that a couple of time already (that I know of, at least). You're on some kind of news website, you see a genuine looking link towards a potentially interesting article. You follow it, read a few paragraphs and then starts to notice that the tone appears completely off and way too enthusiastic about the device or service they're talking about.

Then you start looking around and you eventually find a small "sponsored content" disclaimer somewhere on the page. I've seen those types of ads on physical newspapers as well, mainly those given for free in the subway. Often the only thing that sets them apart from actual content is a think border around the page or something like that. That's super shady and a bit worrying honestly.
I don't mind paying for software as long as it respects my four freedoms.

What Good Is Temporal Logic? (1983) [pdf]
Because ordinary people are just as much a part of society as the criminals that society has decided to lock away.

By forcing criminals to work for free society is paying in another way: that work would have been done by someone on the outside, but you can't compete with slave labor.

So this is bad both for the inmates and for society from an economic point of view, and then we're side-stepping the moral issue.

bash.exe on Windows is also GNU Bash:

The rest of the subsystem isn't called "bash", it's called "Windows System for Linux". It just happens that bash.exe on Windows contains the WSL hooks rather than being a straight port of GNU Bash.

Frankly bash across Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris will differ anyway due to differences in the way PTYs are registered, variations in supported signals and different syscalls (all issues I've ran into when writing my own cross-platform Linux/Unix shell by the way). So you'll find hundreds of compile-time conditions defined in Bash's source code which alter the behaviour of the outputted ELF (and I don't just mean your typical libc linker differences). So MS and Canonical integrating the WSL hooks into bash.exe isn't massively different enough for your argument to stand.

I really don't understand why some developers are so happy with Typescript. Javascript was already years ago highly improved with transpilers like Coffeescript, Livescript etc..

IMHO this whole Babel, ES5, ES6, ES7, ES???, Typescript thing with it's countless options is much worse than simply Coffeescript with a dynamic type checker. I use the latter in quite some production environments currently. No need for Babel, Typescript, linters etc.. It really makes my life way, way easier, less npm modules, less bugs, less lines of code, much more readable, etc, etc..

And please, before you start preaching all those 'amazing' benefits of Babel, Typescript, linters, ES5, ES6, ESx, I come from that misery and it sucks!
