On top of that, most hardware and protocol implementations are either secret and under NDA or free and open but lacking a full implementation to begin with.

The post contains many idealistic proposals, but most of them boil down to lawyer stuff and money, not technical problems. You can't have nice GPU access because GPU's are secret. You can't have things work together because nobody wants to share their secret sauce. Everyone is trying to 'be the best' and get an edge on the rest, but in a way that nobody really profits from it from a technical standpoint.

Aside from the shit-ton of reverse-engineering and some cleanroom design, there is very little that can be done to improve this, and no company is going to help, and thus no big pile of resources is coming to save the day.

This does of course not only go for GPU's, but CPU's and their BSP's and secret management controllers as well, as the dozen or so secret binary blobs you need to get all the hardware to work at all.

Fixing this from the ground up, i.e. for x86, would mean something like getting coreboot working on the recent generations of CPU's, and that's not happening at the moment due to lack of information and secret code signing keys needed to actually get a system to work.

You still need to agree to the VST SDK terms to use this.

Note that there exist other bindings for VST in Rust, Java, .NET, Delphi... you _have_ to translate part of the SDK to be able to use it from another language that C++.

In essence this is not different than jVSTwRapper or VST.NET, both of which still exist.
Could use some refinement though. Only a two window left/right split is able to resize both windows when dragging one. You can't have say one window on the left, and two on the right and expect all of them to be resized to maintain that layout.

Maybe that's the point?

So basically you are asking for a service that slowly forces older people off? As you age, your skin and muscles get flabby, and the resulting gravity-induced droop is easy to read as "unhappy".
Does the article mean ENcoding and not just coding?
First, a big congratulations on your four years of being alcohol free. From a random stranger on the internet, I applaud your success, and wish you the best. It always puts a smile on my face to hear these types of things.

I've never gone through any programs but have had family who have. On the religious stuff - my general interpretation has always been that it's less a confession of faith in a higher power, but more a surrender of control, or in some senses a selection of values above yourself that you adhere to. From a bird's eye view, it kind of sounds like you already are doing that, with philosophy/Eastern thought/stoicism.
You can run even older software.

Heck, you could probably run stuff from the 3.x era, if you installed Win10 as a 32-bit OS.

This is related to how x86 CPUs do 64-bit btw, not the OS itself.
It's free to try, and I charge if the user wants to keep a bot turned on for more than X days. And for the cost, the server pays itself with a few users paying.
> Until some idiot checks it in on git despite the .gitignore (yes, this is possible, as I discovered after people accidentally did it).

This seems like a ridiculous edge case to optimize for. It's rare and trivially corrected.

> Java’s tooling is far more intuitive. I don’t have to configure a GOPATH, or deal with go get or deps or stuff, I simply define my build.gradle.kts, do gradle build, and I’m done. I don’t have to care where dependencies are, or what transpilation steps are happening.

You don't have to configure a $GOPATH in Go. If you don't specify it, it defaults to $HOME/go. Just use `dep` to manage your versioned dependencies or `go get` if you're prototyping. Unlike Gradle, there is no scripting language to learn--static binaries and native dependencies are supported with no extra configuration, and everything is fast without a complicated daemon to install.
It's not clear to me from your comments that you've read the article-- especially "It also seems strange to suggest naltrexone as an alternative to AA". Is it just because it's an 'evil drug' or am I missing something?

Also, I feel you're misunderstanding the "moderation" that the article speaks of. The AA literature you quote is about someone who is actively dependent in a bad way trying to moderate themselves. The "moderate drinking might be possible for some" line is about returning to a life of moderate drinking in the future.
The first sentence in the article reads: "In positive psychology, flow, also known as the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity."

Also: "Achieving flow is often colloquially referred to as being in the zone."

So, yes, they are synonymous. :-)
While I'm not sure I agree with everything in the article, it does mention a point I've been thinking about for a while - configuration.

I really do think applications should try to zero-in on a few standard configuration file formats - I really don't have a strong preference on one (although avoiding XML would be nice). It makes the system uniform and makes it easier to move between applications. Of course, applications can add extended sections to suit their need.

Another related point is the location of configuration files - standard Linux/Unix has a nice hierarchy /etc/ for and /usr/local/etc and others for user-specific configurations (I'm sure Windows and OS X should have a similar hierarchy too) but different applications still end up placing their configuration files in unintuitive places.

I find this lack of uniformity disturbing - especially because it looks so easy (at least on the surface) to fix and the benefits would be nice - easier to learn and scriptable.

A last unrelated point - I don't see why Linux distributions cannot standardize around a common repository - Debian and Ubuntu both share several packages but are yet forced to maintain separate package databases and you can't easily mix and match packages between them. This replication of effort seems more ideological than pragmatic (of course, there probably are some practical reasons too). But I can't see why we can't all pool resources and share a common 'universal' application repository - maybe divide it into 'Free', 'Non-Free', 'Contrib/AUR' like granular divisions so users have full freedom to choose the packages they want.

Like other things, I think these ideas have been implemented before but I'm a little disappointed these haven't made it into 'mainstream' OS userlands yet.
The addendum from the namecheap blog post is really chilling. It even mentions he recent EFF post criticising similar actions by others.
This site is being run in part by weev aka Andrew Auernheimer, somebody that basicly spends all their time finding ways to stir up shit, and generate controversy.

This site has absolutely nothing to do with genuinely disseminating white power ideas, and everything to do with doing exactly what its doing right now, getting thrown off of every popular hosting service it can so it can generate more articles, and more drama. You can be positive its going to make its rounds on pretty much every hosting service there is.

That is the express goal of his actions and I can not beleive nobody is calling that out.
This guy wants GuixSD for 60% his feature requests, like isolated apps, version control, snapshots, ease of configuration, and ability to abstract all of it away, and Hurd for his multi-threaded ambitions, modularity, ability to do things like mount a database in a home directory to use as a fileserver, and message passing. This is slowly happening already https://fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/guixhurd/

Then he wants to completely redesign a GUI to manage it all, which sounds a lot like Firefox OS with aware desktop apps, but with the added bonus that most things that req privileges on desktop OSs no longer need them with Guix. Software drivers are implemented in user space as servers with GNU Hurd, so you can now access these things and all the functionality that comes with them, exactly what the author wants.
Thanks for that feedback! That's an interesting perspective. I'll keep that in mind.
Could you share more about #3 ?

Using the term "Alt-Left" as the opposite of "Alt-Right" only serves to normalize their position on the spectrum by dragging the mainstream "normal" further right. We should refer to them as the "alt-right" (or preferably nazis) vs the mainstream to keep "normal" where it is.
I think all the new companies in America are in a bind. America's future is "diverse" based on projected population demographics.

If I was incharge of one of these companies, I have no choice but to 'virtue signal'. This would literally be my thought process, 'Oh shit google banned them, we don't want to be called out as Nazis lets write a blog post and ban them'. I don't want to blame that guy from cloudfare or this person because they literally have no choice.

I think this is only going to stop if "diverse group" of people come forward and oppose this visibly, which is borderline impossible.
State income taxes are completely different animal than Federal income taxes. The highest state corporate rates peak around 10%, the federal rate is 35%. And state taxes are deductible. So the difference between a state with a 10% rate and one with a 0% rate is a total corporate tax rate of 42.5% vs. 35%. And if the adjoining states to the 0% rate state have 5% corporate tax rates, the difference is only 38.5% to 35%.

State rates are a small factor in corporate decisions, but not an overriding one like Apple's decision to leave hundreds of billions in Ireland, or to repatriate it and pay 42% to California and the US government, to pay the remainder to shareholders to pay 20% more taxes on.
More profitable to mine should mean more supply of Bitcoin Cash, lowering the price. What am I missing?
Many thought that the alt-right is not a real thing either. Turns out if you label something and it sticks, it becomes real.
It's nice and honest to follow the law. Paying the minimum amount of taxes possible is following the law.
A lot of literal neo-nazis are trying to hijack the debate to create a false equivalence between "hate-speech" and "free-speech" (two orthogonal topics). Don't let them use you as a vessel by falsely equating their hate with "free-speech".

There are really millions of small things that I would make in a new desktop OS.

First would be to forget the whole idea of resizable windows. Windows should only tile automatically. A tab interface have shown that a simple task bar is just enough.

File explorers would have their columns be resized automatically... I can't believe how both OS X and windows 10 still have this wrong.

Ultimately I would let applications use hardware directly instead of relying on how the OS do things. This would increase cross compatibility and developer freedom. Good bye Qt and all those horrors of the past.

Not to mention how there are millions of small utilities and functionalities like windirstat, foobar2000 that would be ideal to make the OS a little more useful.
No doubt the Born rule still needs explanation, but every other interpretation also still needs to explain the born rule, so it's not reasonable to use this flaw to distinguish between interpretations. Undoubtedly, it's related to the fact that the integral square modulus measure is the simplest one that's preserved.

Seems likely that the author of the article doesn't understand the difference.
I haven't seen it but even if it's as despicable as I imagine or worse, it's covered under the concept of the first amendment. I support the first amendment as a virtue of integrity.

Scheme is particularly suited to parsing, interpreting and compiling.[0][1] There's a reason GCC's internals often look like Lisp.

If you exclude language design from computer science, then maybe Lisp becomes a "useless language family", but there's a reason MIT Scheme was created.

Sure, but this is political and will probably exceed the HN mandate.

There's literally nothing we can do to stop these disgusting examples of humanity. Rational discourse is predicated on the idea that your opponent isn't purposefully lying. They are.

So leaving them in the sunlight accomplishes nothing, while driving them out of the public sphere while not destroying them, at least helps us as a society set a 'this is where tolerance ends' boundary. That has to exist somewhere, and Nazism is clearly beyond that.

As for making them martyrs, they already cast themselves in that light, and their supporters already see them as that. I don't think losing a web domain will drive the common man into their arms unless they were looking for an excuse.
The example may not be doing the idea any service, but the idea itself seems to be to be able to peek at the content of a window without having to actually bring the window to the front.

That said, i wonder if this is why some people love using "focus follows mouse" or whatever it is called. Just drag the mouse pointer to the window you want to peek at, then back to the main window once done. No need to look for safe place to click or use keyboard commands (though i guess something similar could be achieved with a WM that brings each window to front as you alt-tab around).

Might not help if you're stuck in an authoritarian micro managing matrix but some tactics I've found useful before.

1) Block out 3 hours in the morning and 3 in the afternoon in your calendar as busy, marked private, at slightly different times each day. If asked you can be honest, many times people will not ask and simply avoid booking.

2) Leave your least productive time of day open for 90 minutes of meetings - for me this was post lunch.

3) Always reply and ask for an agenda so you can be sure you're necessary (it's a constructive way of making the requester think twice about whether they really need a meeting).

4) Often suggest a new time that is only 30 minutes long rather than the default hour.

5) Decline politely if you are not specifically necessary (Thanks for the invite Peter, appreciate being kept informed but I don't think you need me for this and I have a conflict - no need to reschedule for me).

But mainly just look for a way to leave. That company is heading down the tubes.

DC/OS was developed with objectives that are not overlapping with K8s'.

Namely, they target machine management. While K8s is about container centric job management. Seems subtle, but if you think along these 2 lines, design decisions in 2 systems fall through naturally.

It's not that file-watching APIs (and libraries that abstract over them and try to clean them up) don't exist, it's that they are complex and unreliable, with weak semantics. Typically an "event" is basically a notification that something happened to a file in the recent past. As noted in the remarks on that page, moving a file triggers a cascade of events, which differs depending on interactions with the computer's antivirus software. You aren't making any claims about this API, though, so there is not really anything for me to refute.

If the file system operated in an event-sourcing model, you'd be able to listen to a stream of events from the OS and reconstruct the state of the file system from them. If it acted like a database, you'd be able to do consistent reads, or consistent writes (transactions! holy cow).

There's also SailMail.[1] This is a minimal e-mail system for ocean sailing yachts. It uses HF radio, and there are 20 shore stations licensed in the Maritime Radio Service for connections. It's intended for boats with limited electrical power and electronics. Stan Honey, who invented ETAK, the first car navigation system, is behind it. He's into sailing, and holds the transatlantic sailing speed record.

[Need Feedback] My first take at writing, about Web, AI and my view of the world
This could be the first half of a good article. It's a list of things the author cares about that variously: aren't (yet) possible, aren't a good idea, nobody cares enough to make happen, or (maybe) indicate a market force failure.

What would make this interesting (to me) is a discussion not that these features don't exist, but why.

Where you, and ever other "Free Speech" person misses the point is this isn't the government. There's no "banning and suppression" because you can still legally host your views yourself. The idea that private companies are required to distribute your speech is like implying freedom of the press means that any article you write NYT is required to print.

Turns out, most companies don't want to be associated with Nazis; shocking I know. And, as Nazis are not a protected class in the United States, it's fully within their rights not to do business with them.

It's easy to say "let's all support a version of free speech that's never existed because we believe in the ideology" when these groups aren't targeting you. It's a bitter pill to swallow if you happen to be Jewish, Black, etc.
I guess i explained it poorly.

You can, at least with Windows 10, have the screen split into 4. But once you go beyond a left/right split, the other windows will not resize to maintain their areas if you resize one of them.
AFAIK, the general perception is that http is a transport & upper protocol. Not an application layer protocol.

Anyway, OSI model is mostly a mental picture that bear little practical relevance.

If someone want to follow OSI model and devise a new model, then itself is a wrong approach. TCP/IP was invented out of solving real internetworking problems, without regarding much to the OSI model or any pre-defined model per-se.

As always, David Clark's "e2e principle" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_principle) probably is the only guiding principle (or a after-fact summary) that is worth following.
Except I have 32 years of daily practice and plenty of experience from most paradigms/languages/kinds of software out there. I'm guessing similar goes for some of the hundreds of people who complain about the same thing.

its hiding in the discourse, but I think author would be better off completely abandoning the notion of a canonical stack and provide a categorization of functions - routing, identity, reliability, etc
Wow, fuck Google. They really should consider re-adopting "Don't be evil" for PR proposes at the very least.

It's a $200m a year benefit based on what the refinery paid last year for the credits . The article used a jump in the stock price to say Icahn made $500M, but that's not really true because

1) Stock prices go up for many reasons
2) Icahn didn't sell to monetize in that gain and hasn't sold yet. And likely wasn't going to sell even if RIN reform passed.
3) Now that he's resigned and the odds of passing any RIN reform is virtually zero, the refinery's stock has zero RIN value in it.

I say it's trivial because $200m a year on a $17B portfolio is barely 0.1% a year. His deal-making efforts are worth many times that, at least 10% a year. So why get tied up in a mud fight with a pig over a scrap of a morsel?
Do you mind elaborating?
I can't think of any methods that explicitly (or implicitly) use p-values.
