>Why doesn't anyone try to simply sell free software?

Because free software licenses mean anybody that buys the software and code, gets to redistribute it for free if they want to.
I'm curious what the false positive rate is on this technology. It seems like a very noisy source to do correlations from.

Going to school on open-source security – SD Times
The acquisition happened 5+ years ago.

Here’s an Techcrunch article from Mar 17, 2014 [1].

Yes, it could be said about anything. And if someone thought that someone who programs must be a programmer I'd have said the same you said.
As my list of "articles to read" grew, I felt guilt and a touch of anxiety because it was yet another thing I didn't have enough time to do. Then, when I finally made the time to read some articles off the list, I was usually disappointed... Here was this thing weighing on my mind for months, and now that I read it I see it's not that useful.

Now I read things on an "as needed" basis: I find and read articles as I need them, for instance if I'm learning about Kubernetes that's when I'm going to go and read 10+ things in one sitting.

Another thing I realized: If I found it once, I can find it again... When I need it. The article isn't going anywhere.

Yep, lets talk about the main demographic for big box TVs.

- Used to being advertised to constantly so it's not really more of an intrusion.

- Typically don't realize they can or have little desire to impose their will on technology.

- Usually very price discriminating so shaving a few extra dollars off with ad revenue does translate into more sales.

- Have demonstrated their value as someone with disposable income.

- "Smart features" are a novelty value-add that's really cheap to include and has basically no user expectation of working.

Match made in heaven honestly. If you really want a dumb TV you pretty much have to find somewhere that sells commercial models but you're going to pay a huge premium. They're on the way out too since businesses just opt for just buying the cheper consumer models.

Your realistic options:

- Find a Smart TV that can pass as a dumb TV and just never network the thing. Sony is pretty not terrible.

- Buy a projector.

- Buy a TV with a built-in Chromecast or wait for Android TV to happen which might be a not terrible enough experience to actually use.
>On an unrelated note, I am pretty upset that my Samsung ~$1200 TV has ads built into it.

Is it Samsung pushing the advertisements or is it Google (via Android TV)? This is the first I've heard of this. Gross.

Would have been interesting for Ars to have asked them how their GPU differs from the IMGTec/PVR IP they acquired besides adding more cores, what did they change?

They give the impression by saying it’s a custom GPU that it’s a from scatch in-house design but it’s unlikely to be the case.

You're completely right of course, we hire people who we believe are the top 5% of the applicant pool. The point remains the same: what a company says about their hiring standards has little or no bearing on what their standards actually are in the context of the entire universe of software engineers (or any other field)
> I do not exhaustively search literally every hypothesis and match it against my data

Haha. My problem is that my brain attempts to do this but can’t, which just leads to analysis paralysis instead.
>And how is this economically different from piracy, which mostly goes unprotected?

That this is not even illegal at all.

And piracy in business settings is much more seriously and effectively prosecuted. Pirating at an enterprise is nothing like the free-for-all of pirating music or movies at home.
I cannot stand Apache, not the foundation, the web server. We are stuck with it at work, and I groan when I have to venture into an httpd.conf. XML is so clunky and verbose, I have no idea why it caught on as the defacto config language for so many “enterprise” projects other than there weren’t any better choices at the time. Which, that’s fine, XML sucks, but so does YAML (though not nearly as much). Aside from that, which for me at least if I see a project that uses XML I immediately start looking for alternatives, in my experience Apache’s documentation sucks. It feels archaic to get through, not a lot of useful examples, just mostly things like “here how to pass in the default values”. The default Apache logs suck. Reverse Proxying requires way more XML config to setup than it should. I could go on and on about my disdain for Apache/httpd.

When we have options like Nginx, Caddy, or even Traefik, which mostly work out of the box, things like reverse proxying take a line or two of config, and they have good to really good docs, I have no idea why anyone would pick Apache over any of those unless they are working in an environment that is soo entrenched in enterprise software, like Apache, switching isn’t an option.

Because of httpd, I’ve mostly avoided Apache projects. So, I don’t have too much hands on experience for much else to compare, only a lot of (I’m sure biased/frustrated) reading of others experiences.

However, I did decide to give OpenWhisk recently. If I hadn’t already known, I would’nt have believed you if you told me it was an Apache project. I haven’t yet had to look at any XML, minimal time spent on config, it supports modern platforms/techniques out of the box, and it has a CLI that doesn’t suck. Pretty much the opposite of my experiences with httpd. I assume all of this is due to it being a new project without 20+ years of built up enterprise cruft.

So, at least for me, I’ll be avoiding any older Apache projects if I’m able to find a comparable modern one. But, just because there old enterprise stuff sucks to deal with for the average not-enterprise person, that doesn’t mean there new stuff will too, and I’ll be totally willing to give it a shot. One thing Apache has proven is even though the user experience may kinda suck, the underlying tech is usually pretty fucking solid, open source, and you’ll likely not have to worry about breaking changes every month (or decade).
I would have figured anand would give this interview to anandtech.
The point of autonomy isn't to treat the patient as the most knowledgeable person in the room, but to present the options, all considerations and drawbacks that you're aware of, answer any questions, and then ask them to make a decision. If you think that patients aren't smart enough to understand the implications of drug side effects and weigh the costs and benefits of treatment versus the original disease, then I really hope you're not a doctor. And I really really hope you're not my doctor.
Was it wrong for the parliamentarians to fight the royalists in the first English civil war? Many lives were lost but the foundations of democracy were set and the monarchy weakened. The pragmatic view would have been to maintain the status quo that had worked for hundreds of years rather than the uncertainty of war.

Every person has their breaking point where mere pragmatism no longer holds sway. Peace, but at what cost?
There's a self-hosted clone of Pocket, Wallabag: https://wallabag.org/en

Can't vouch for it, not having used it (yet), but it ranks pretty high on Alternativeto, which is a good sign.

As far as I know Dropbox has no connection to Zulip now. Zulip was initially started as a company, which was acquired by Dropbox several years ago. Dropbox open sourced the code, and Tim (one of the Zulip cofounders) later left Dropbox to focus on running Zulip as an open source project.
Every morning, anything remotely interesting in Feedly or HN goes straight to Pocket.

I mark at hour (at least) each day to look at the list. Usually more.

* resources: skim, then save to color-coded Google Keep card if valuable.

* code: download & add a to-do item to Remember The Milk.
The part that made me wonder about the millennials in their job search is:

> Butcher has a high-school diploma and a resume filled with low-wage jobs from Target and Walmart to a local grocery store. He’s being selective as he searches for new work because he doesn’t want to grind out unhappy hours for unsatisfying compensation.

I believe that having a job that you love is a luxury. It is something to look at once basic needs are met.

There are jobs out there, and even jobs that train entry level in a trade. No, it may not be the job you love... but as Stephen Stills said:

> If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Concentration slip away
Because your baby is so far away

> Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
...

That doesn’t mean one should love that unsatisfying job, but recognize that not everyone will have that dream job.
Zulip has a rebase-based development workflow and doesn't use merge commits because in my experience, it produces a much more readable commit history (which is really important for understanding historical changes). We've been very happy with this approach. Some relevant reading on our version control approach for those who might be interested:

I used to save articles to read in the future, but not anymore. If I want to read something, I can usually open HN or reddit and find something I'm interested in. However, I think this says more about the general low quality of articles published today (that they're not worth saving).

I just open them then OneTab them, there already are myriads in the list and I have only read ~10. Although I happen to be intrigued by some subject all the time and feel constant urge to learn everything I find it extremely hard to read anything longer than a single display (900px-high) page and containing any amount of "water". I dream brevity was taught at schools and encouraged by publishers and not the opposite...
I’ve been downloading articles and longer form texts as PDFs and then just deleting them when I’m done. I could put them in directories when I finish them, but I rarely reference old articles (and they’re easy to find again anyway). Standard Unix tools work pretty well for searching within files.

Thanks! We're approaching the 2-year anniversary of starting Moonlight. That's a long time to work on a business!

It's been a long journey to understand what customers want. I think that a subscription product is our future, and we didn't figure that out until last week! But, we even tested that manually - and, in doing so, have done more net revenue in the previous seven days than we did in the first year of our business.

We've fortunately been ramen profitable this year, but I hope that in 2019 we can start to focus on growth!

I had to teach nurses media literacy in grad school (I was a TA for a class called Nursing Informatics, essentially a course about evidence-based practice, using EMR and information systems, etc. The instructional part of the course was entirely online, and I had to administer labs in person and do all of the grading and feedback, so I was their primary point of contact while they never even met the actual professor). One of their labs was to pick a site from a predetermined list, and evaluate whether or not the information presented was reputable. The results were quite disheartening, particularly because many of these people were adults that were re-training for new careers.
I get your apprehension, and, in fact, I up-voted you, but I'm not sure what better, "frictionless" way to get verified email address?

The only plausible alternative would be to send out an email with a download link in it, but that "costs" the designer an email credit, real money, or potentially extra development time vs just shipping with an out of the box multi-auth component built into some web framework.

For quite some time i used Feedly, it's a great tool, but i was missing some features so i've built Aktu (https://aktu.io): I can follow twitter users and Facebook pages as RSS feeds, and soon Quora topics. Everything is automatically categorized, with names of people, companies, etc... extracted, same story articles are grouped together as in Google News even for the items in my own feeds. And i'm adding a pdf export feature available in the next few weeks.

Ignorance as a word is only meaningful in a narrow context, usually in context 'of a what' and hopefully with some facts to prove the accusation.

Without any moorings or context the word ignorance loses all meaning and value. Accusing any group xyz or a nebulous 'other' of ignorance is like accusing HN readers of ignorance of history, because it is logically and physically impossible to prove any such assertion of any group, and you are left with circular logic that points to source assertion as evidence ie uninformed prejudice.

Democracy is about everyone voting, it does not seek to make a judgement or value claims on individuals in any way and if you accept the concept your only job is vote and support the unequivocal right of everyone to vote.

Any arguments about individuals that disqualify them in your personal opinion would need a wider argument against democracy as a concept.
How do you handle high availability for Zulip? Last I looked that was a problem for it.

> the kinds of questions that began to present themselves were just.. the questions themselves were ugly and I didn't want to know the answers. It's like banging on a door, you knock on a door, and the door opens slightly and behind that door it's dark and there's loud noises coming like there's wild animals in there or something. And you peer into the darknees and you can't see what's there but you can hear all this ugly stuff.. do you want to step into that room? No way, you just sorta back out quietly, pull the door shut behind you, and walk away from it.

My approach has always been now or never. I don't have a read it later list. Sometimes this gets stressful to me if I want to read through a lot of content, but it motivates me to just burn through all of it quickly.

If I don't have time to read it, I'll skim it. Same with youtube videos, if I don't have time I'll skip through it or play-it-back faster. I use pinboard though after I've either skimmed an article I found interesting, or read it. Exception is with reddit and medium, I don't use pinboard for those sites, rather I use their built in tools.

For ongoing projects / links I use often, those go in google chrome bookmarks. I don't really have a searchable archive except for my note's app, pinboard, and google.

If you want to save tweets or posts, just put a like on them so you can check your profile → your likes. If you want to take it further, go scrape yourself.

> This is an absurd statement, the market is not a god. It does not have a value system.

The word "market" is just a convenient tag to refer to a collection of individuals like you and me looking to buy/sell goods and/or services, and deciding what's best for them given the choices available, their priorities, and the information they have.

Thus, when anyone refers to what "the market is willing to offer", they are referring to what the individuals like you and me who are shopping for a good/service are actually willing to pay in exchange for it.

Are you willing to pay a philosophy major a 70k/year salary for him to research a topic? No? Neither is anyone else. Thus, in short, the market for philosophy research is not willing to pay for that.

Culture, with all its variations in values, art, and identity, develops over very long periods of time.
