> I have recently switched from an NVIDIA Quadro card to an AMD FirePro card. I use GNOME/Wayland and the difference is quite big, with NVIDIA on nouveau, there was regularly flickering (at random moments), artifacts and other problems.

nouveau was always pretty awful, but the nvidia binary drivers always Just Worked, across many models for many years, whereas with AMD it's always been a crapshoot whether a given card would work properly or not.

The binary drivers always kept up with the important things (indeed they were well ahead of AMD in terms of doing accelerated video decoding on linux via Xvmc and later vaapi, their xinerama integration was always better...). Sure, they don't support Wayland, but that's a solution in search of a problem; if and when there's actual value to be had by using it I have confidence that nvidia will support it.
This needs a (2005).

It's not canonically relevant to the story, but dating is traditional on HN, and I think it's noteworthy to point out in any case that this happened 12 years ago.

But I still fundamentally agree with this approach. Perhaps not all users, but most users should be given a path toward more programming based approach to modelling.

I think lighswitch was stillborn when it wasn't distributed as part of office (irrespective of its merits, haven't tried it myself). Asking IT departments to deploy it was bound to fail. It needs to be available at the fingertips of excel users, like VBA is, always there, running with Excel, and you know it is available to everyone else so anything you do will run without having to install anything on their machine.

Forgetting about a little project called clang? Swift is open source, WebKit is open source (with a tarnished history).

I’m not claiming Apple are perfect, but saying they’re free loaders who don’t benefit is a flat out lie.
Your question is quite common among our first adopters. We have talked with representatives of a few universities. As of now they don't have any objections. However, we are working on clarifying this with other universities in US and Europe.

In any case, the functionality that Labit currently offers doesn't pose a risk to individuals and research groups. Moreover, many labs host their pages on Wix, WordPress, SquareSpace etc. and their university administration doesn't mind. I think that these are the reasons why there were no objections from administration so far.

And a question for you in return.

How important for you is the ability to have a custom domain for your research group? On a scale from 1 to 10.

For people who don't already know the game or the current edition, it might also be of interest that you can download the basic rules for free.

These are actually all the rules needed to play, minus special classes, character options and spells found in the players guide. Best place for new players is probably the starter set, because it includes a rather good adventure in addition to premade characters and a rulebook. It is also available at a low price, but you can't beat free of course.

I think there are such strong network effects for many of these companies that competition is unrealistic.

They are in many ways like power grid operators: Infrastructure. They should be regulated as such.

Edit: Since there are some downvotes here, let me clarify what I think regulation should look like:

Visa/Stripe/PayPal/Amazon/Facebook have to service every business that is not illegal under non-discriminatory terms. (Like F/RAND for technical standards.)

Simple rule. One they can point to when moral guardians come knocking and demand they stop doing business with the devil.
Right, and at least I am not aware of complaints like such. My experience rather is, that any larger customisations of open source software are usually propagated back to the project for the simple reason of saving the hassle of maintaining a fork of that software.

So charge them a slightly higher fee to account for that.

Your reasoning that that in itself would be sufficient to refuse service does not hold up.

From what I've seen it's not any more subsidized by employers as it is in the US with commuter benefits.

That being said, I'd say the NYC metro is probably the best subway system in the US and it's nowhere as good as the Tokyo area transit system.
Open-source-only is an artificial comparison to make; nvidia's open-source drivers get very little development attention precisely because their official drivers on Linux are so good that most people have no reason to use the open-source ones. What matters to most users is performance, stability, and features under the best available driver - and in those terms nvidia still wins on Linux. (At least IME - e.g. my experience is that Xrandr was much more reliable for nvidia than for AMD)

Not really. There's a lot of interoperability involved (all transit systems can use each other's IC card and you can charge it at any company's terminals). The IC card can also be used at most merchants.

The processors that allow "high risk" payments do charge a higher fee. I wouldn't call it "slightly higher" though, it was prohibitively expensive for the service I was trying to set up. In a sister thread on this subject on Reddit someone suggested using Bitcoin as an alternative, which I somewhat regret not considering at the time.

To clarify also it's not my reasoning. Adult content is referenced in the Terms of Service for all payment processors, whether they allow it or not. See Stripe for an example[1]

The irony here being that to many content creators, Patreon WAS seen as the competition to reliance on Youtube ad revenue. Facing demonetization due to politically incorrect content they switched business models to rely on Patreon subscriptions. Now Patreon is levying the PC hammer on many of the same people.

I think you're confusing fasting (simply abstaining from food) with some sort of religious or spiritual practice.

My first fast was 4 days when I was a teenager and it started as a joke "let's fast for the whole week then go to a buffet to see how much we can eat." That lead me to fast Monday-Thursday and we went to the buffet on Friday. Guess how much "clarity" that brought me? None.

It was once believed that no Australian Aboriginal languages had numbers above 5. Certainly I was taught this in school, though it seems to be not entirely true.

Interestingly, for groups that which we don't have a record of specific words for abstract numbers above say 5 or 6 or 7, they had words for specific items in a sequence above these numbers. (The article gives the example of birth order.) So, in answer to the kids question, the concept of six may survive the lack of an abstract number.

Go to the site and have a look at "Featured Creators": Stormfront, Daily Stormer and Richard Spencer will be recognizable to anyone these days. Most of the rest (like Andrew Auernheimer aka Weev) are recognizable to the more online of us. Should make the name and the trollish nature of the name make more sense to know that. It isn't not serious.

It was invite only at the beginning, marketed as the place for the alt-right when Patreon enforced their policies on some high profile people, and those invites went out to specific people so take their whole "open to anyone with no speech limits" with a mountain of salt.

This might be a misconception but I was under the impression that truetype fonts are a complexity and security minefield. In particular I noticed an st developer complaining (on the mailing list, probably) about the lack of a suckless font library when I concluded that it might be better to just do without them.
Thanks for the link.

I've used static and dynamic languages. When using a dynamic language, I usually don't miss static language features, except when refactoring and/or maintaining a large code base. It's the reason why I'm interested by Flow and TypeScript (in the JS ecosystem), mypy (in the Python ecosystem) and even static languages like Go. It's also the reason why I'm a bit reluctant to invest in Clojure, despite being interested by the language.
You'd be surprised.

There are such things as continuity of state, and also a continuity of culture.

Especially if post-WWII it never sat well with the locals that they lost the war, or that they were in the wrong.

Token gestures like making "mein kampf" illegal post-facto are a dime a dozen.

Especially since most of the post-WWII political and business establishment, in the highest positions, were fervent nazi party members and high ranking officials before 1945:

If they have enough candidates it makes sense to not care much about false negatives, only about false positives. Anyway, the way a company treats applicants strongly correlates to the way they treat staff, so a bad interview process is a red flag. It can be tough, but it must be respectful.

In this specific case, maybe chargebacks are the problem, but in general, American puritanism is insufferable (Facebook banning reproductions of 19th century paintings, etc.) Also, it's inexplicable. I would much rather have my kids exposed to a million boobs (that they can see anywhere on the beach anyway -- and why are boobs a problem in the first place is anyone's guess) than to the horrible and dehumanizing violence of war video games where it's apparently ok to shoot at anyone and have blood squirt all over.

But, in the case of chargebacks, could it not be solved by simply having patrons agree they will suffer the chargebacks directly? Chargebacks are only a problem if the platform can't make creators cover them, no?
I used to work in support for Lotus in the UK. A few people used Improv, but if IIRC once you got beyond a few dimensions the file sizes became huge.

No, they were part of an "superior race" culture both before 1931 and after 1946.

What do you mean? Envelope encryption is a standard security model and can use locally generated keys. They just need to be stored with the data but that can be anywhere.

I fail to understand what's your issue with this. Are you questioning that the queer, trans, disabled, PoC are in a weaker (and often precarious) position than the cis white (male)? Or is it emotional blackmail to point out that a change (once again) hits hardest for the people that are in a weak position? Isn't it considered common decency to keep in mind the needs of the people that are weaker than us? That might just barely make a living and that don't have the time and energy to make their voice heard?

I consider that debate important preciously because it hits the marginalized people worst. I can make my living where I choose (and buy my adult content where I wish to and as a male, I'm probable considered a "proper male" if I do). Those people can't as easily as I.

And yet, this particular law was opposed by all Democrats in the Senate and was supported by every Republican except two. It passed due to Mike Pence's tie-breaking vote.
I imagine you don't have much experience with enterprise code.

They have piles of patches and team specific forks that are never going to go out of those Clearcase and TFS repositories.

Sony was the only company I ever saw doing a presentation at a LLVM summit, referring that keeping up with upstream as their main reason to get the PS4 clang code "partially" into clang. They did not contribute back any kind of optimizations that might reveal too much of PS4's architecture.

I guess some would say it is better than nothing.

OEMs using Android or BSD/Linux forks for embedded use, don't have any issue maintaining their own forks.
Its not the outcome which matters. The outcome is what it is, you move on. Its the way the outcome is communicated which is a complete disregard of social norms. Its considered impolite to flat out ignore someone. You only do that if you seriously dislike that person, and want to burn your bridges to them, or if you lack communication skills. Consider you might have an appointment with a possible customer on Thursday at 2 PM at Starbucks, but you'd verify it because you are also busy. You never follow up on it. They phone you at 1 PM, but you don't pick up. You don't reply to the missed call either. Now, consider how your potential customer felt at Wednesday evening and Thursday morning. They wonder what's up. They'd like to plan their time as well.

I know, I know, corporations are psychopaths [1], but a hint of humanity or compassion would've at least kept the façade somewhat up. Actions like these can harm your faith in corporations and humanity, and that might very well be the goal. It can be extremely demotivating, and if Google doesn't buy the startup its generally in Google's interest the VC doesn't get bought by the competitor. So from that PoV it makes sense.

But we are talking about real humans here, with startups, with limited resources, and a lot of stress. Is it too much to ask for a response you've been declined preferably also with a honest mention of "because of reason X or Y"?

This looks promising, and I remember them announcing this sometime ago. I was curious as to how they would handle CSVs or other datasources, and the only example I see is bigtable. I thought I'd be able to type open and hit tab a few times but no luck. It wouldn't let me run any code until I "connected a runtime", but I had to wait for that to become available. That took me to a wait list page.

I guess it will be a few more months before there is something meaningful to try.

It would be interesting to have numbers here, because I think that people are becoming more and more aware and tired of buying a 3-400 euro phone every 2 years. What are the improvements these new phones carry along? I have a relatively old phone, but the only features I see with newer phones are the following:

- better hardware, like more cpu, more ram, better camera
- support for fingerprints
- android updates

There is actually an alternative, I wasn't aware of it: https://fairphone.com/en/

But hell, no, 2017 and they still offer Android 6.0! And it seems that they are more related to "fairness" in production, etc. It's the "eco" phone which is probably sponsored by green parties :)
That's not actually what I meant in the parent comment, where I was asking for a company that produces simply "average" consumer-oriented phones. If these guys do it, why can't another company do the same?
