Hello!

I understand and very much respect your prespective. If I was in a company that could use your software, I would point them to you.

If you don't mind from a single home user, my prospective was: I really like Nextcloud, I want to at least send some money your way. I know it won't sustain you, but for all your software does for me, I feel like I can donate. I go to your website, I look at pricing, and the lowest pricing I saw was 1900 euro for 50 users. I didn't even know bounty source was an option.

Now that I know bounty source exists, I will send money on that. However, may I suggest to put bountysource on your main website so folks like me can at least support you (or if your employees can't take money out of it, give folks like me a way to give you money)? I get the fact that running on that won't sustain a business, but I would like to think that if users saw that on your website, you would get more money that way.

Or maybe for a thought too, I brought up Android on the previous one. I forget which app I had, but they had a paid and a free version. I looked at the paid version, and it said something along the lines of "this version is no different than the free version. However, if you would like to support us, please consider buying our paid version." Their monaterization was not more intrustive than that. I bought the paid version, because I knew the money would go to the developers.

If perhaps you doing any monaterization is too much if a pain that it isn't worth it (or you don't want to alienate anyone, or perhaps if people pay then you have to support and its too costly), I understand. However, I would like to think you would get some return on investment by some simple non-intrusive ways to monatize your product.

And since I didn't say it before, thank you for the software. I know I can't give enough back to sustain your company, but your software is in my daily workflow and is an amazing product. I have also been responsible for getting several other people to use it on a daily basis, and they depend on it as well.
In fact, all concepts can be viewed this way.
What is bounce scroll?
Another example would be a glazed donut (starch surrounded by sugar).
There are plenty of UI which allows users to scroll but does not feature a scroll bar. This is standard on mobile operating systems.
A bunch of croutons on the bottom of a plate look like toast, but you can't lift them all by picking up just one. Unless you're cooking your mashed potatoes in a way I've never seen, you won't be able to pick them all up by lifting one part of the mashed potatoes.
Luckily, we can focus on more than one thing at a time. We can oppose foreign interventionist wars and reform the tax code at the same time.
"If you can allow websites to hide the mouse cursor"

I object to this as well, but that's a battle that was lost a long time ago.
yeah that is out of the discretionary budget, which is roughly a fourth of the total budget. the government also spends more money than it collects in taxes, so the 60% figure doesn't have much to do with what fraction of your tax dollars actually get spent on the military.

From the title I though it ought to be about Karl Marx.
It's a HORRIBLE idea.

And I say that as someone who's tweaked scrollbars but only in userContent / userChrome configs.

For better or worse the federal budget for 2019 is $3,422 billion: spending a mere 0.004% of the budget on tax collection seems like a pretty good deal!
I don't know about you, but the foods I eat change categorization dramatically after I eat them!
I would use OpenBSD for my network "edge" and FreeBSD for my general purpose servers and desktop.
I immediately thought of this with the pumpkin pie slice.

Also, the site indicates that a whole double-crust pie is a calzone, while a slice of double-crust pie is a taco. Having food categories change as they are served and consumed seems fundamentally unstable and can lead only to chaos. The single slice could easily pass through three or four stages during consumption alone! I think a food's category must be fixed at the end of preparation, for the sake of all sanity.
I would like to agree with you, except that if I were completely honest I would sometimes lump it with things that I should pay for like NPR and Wikipedia, and which I normally do, but some years I skip out on to spend on other niceties. Keeping government running and infrastructure maintained is much more important and should not be voluntarily withheld.
>Do you understand the concept of limited liability?

I sure do. But I didn't when I was younger, growing up as a member of the lower class never exposed to business. That's why I find it so appalling. The concept of being able to run a business into the ground, maxing out debt, ignoring all reality while paying yourself a paycheck, then just walking away from it in bankruptcy and doing it again is just mind blowing to the blue collar, working class mentality. There's a whole class of people in our society who may or may not provide any benefit, but nevertheless get by making vast sums of money and working in prestigious high paying jobs who have no concept whatsoever of what it means to work for a living is like. The whole system is completely rigged against anyone who doesn't meet that threshold, and I'm increasingly convinced that this is the entire basis of capitalism.
I suggest training a tensorflow model with foodstuffs labelled by a large group of, say, 100,000 human volunteers, carefully selected to be demographically representative.

Only then can we know the truth.
That's not Open Banking. That's the Open Bank Project, a completely separate thing. They're a company that tries to sell their platform to banks and provide a FOSS sandbox.
> So, we should just "agree to disagree" and stop trying to demonstrate how one approach might be much better over another? How can anything ever get better?

No, we should try to make things better. But framing these choices as "complexity" doesn't seem to be helpful. The choices are tradeoffs but they're not a deliberate choice of complexity for the sake of some other value; at most they're choices between different kinds of complexity, and maybe not even that much.

> It also dedicates an entire section to defining "complexity" as used throughout, so there's no ambiguity there.

And yet I used that same definition but came to opposite conclusions when applying it to the original author's examples.
Put the finishing touches on my NAS build on Thursday, saw 12.0 was in RC3, decided to check the release schedule, and held off getting too deep into the setup ;)

Kind of an odd use-case here but I have a NVMe SSD that I'm using as a scratch drive and it might be nice to have ports on that drive rather than my main drive. Is there a way to move just the ports and symlink it back into /usr, or do I have to move the whole /usr directory and alter fstab?
You raise a fascinating point.
Don’t they already do for fonts (sort-of)? http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST..., section 8.3.53:

FNT - FONT SELECTION

Notation: (Ps1;Ps2)
Representation: CSI Ps1;Ps2 02/00 04/04
Parameter default values: Ps1 = 0; Ps2 =0

FNT is used to identify the character font to be selected as primary or alternative font by subsequent occurrences of SELECT GRAPHIC RENDITION (SGR) in the data stream. Ps1 specifies the primary or alternative font concerned:

0 primary font
1 first alternative font
2 second alternative font
3 third alternative font
4 fourth alternative font
5 fifth alternative font
6 sixth alternative font
7 seventh alternative font
8 eighth alternative font
9 ninth alternative font

Ps2 identifies the character font according to a register which is to be established.

Also, section 8.3.55 and 8.3.56:

8.3.55 GSM - GRAPHIC SIZE MODIFICATION

Notation: (Pn1;Pn2)
Representation: CSI Pn1;Pn2 02/00 04/02
Parameter default values: Pn1 = 100; Pn2 = 100

GSM is used to modify for subsequent text the height and/or the width of all primary and alternative fonts identified by FONT SELECTION (FNT) and established by GRAPHIC SIZE SELECTION (GSS). The established values remain in effect until the next occurrence of GSM or GSS in the data steam.

Pn1 specifies the height as a percentage of the height established by GSS

Pn2 specifies the width as a percentage of the width established by GSS

8.3.56 GSS - GRAPHIC SIZE SELECTION

Notation: (Pn)
Representation: CSI Pn 02/00 04/03
No parameter default value.

GSS is used to establish for subsequent text the height and the width of all primary and alternative fonts identified by FONT SELECTION (FNT). The established values remain in effect until the next occurrence of GSS in the data stream.
Pn specifies the height, the width is implicitly defined by the height.

The unit in which the parameter value is expressed is that established by the parameter value of SELECT SIZE UNIT (SSU).
These kinds of sites give me anxiety.

It isn’t good to see large communities of humans burning mental calories to come to the same set of conclusions (I’m on team sandwich because $REASON | I’m on team taco because $REASON). It is a mental D.o.s. directed towards humans that tend towards herding.
Lasagna does not have pasta (its starch component) on the bottom or the top. A wrap (such as a falafel wrap, as it is pictured on the site) is a taco, not sushi.

There was a rudimentary os when you boot without gd-rom. It allowed you to set settings, manage memory cards etc I suspect it was loaded just in case where there were no os on the gdrom inserted otherwise the system will boot on the gdrom os.

Make the iPad more like the Mac: What I learned using macOS on the iPad Pro
I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description of "sandwich", and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it.
It's an option under "Websites" in "Preferences"; the options are "Never Auto-Play," "Always Auto-Play," and "Stop Media with Sound." The latter is the default. You can set a default for all web sites, and add override settings for specific sites.

(There's actually a wealth of stuff in this preference tab: you can set defaults and per-site overrides for content blockers, page zoom levels, camera and microphone, defaulting to "Reader View" for particularly annoying sites, and so on.)
I've been to WWDC and other Apple product reveals. 1/8 of the audience applauds wildly for everything. Apple staff, koolaid drinkers, and high school aged folk shipped in.

The other 7/8 might be interested, but are either taking notes or outwardly upset they have to support whatever new feature or product being pushed.

Developer quality of life improvements, cool demos, and non-novelty product announcements get real applause.
I think co-calzone is probably most sensible.

Though the whole topic is a mess: an open-faced sandwich suddenly is a self-dual food.
I love FreeBSD, so I don't think you made a bad choice, but if you ever want to try Ubuntu again go with Lubuntu instead of the Gnome based Ubuntu. It's a far better UX IMHO.
What if you cut the hot dog in half, split the halves lengthwise and put them between two pieces of bread. Is it a sandwich then?
Governance matters.

My feelings are similar to yours when it comes to paying my LOCAL taxes (e.g. property and sales). Because:

(1) I care about the services that my local government provides (e.g. schools, parks, libraries, roads and infrastructure), and

(2) My local county happens to do a good job at providing those services.

On the contrary, I view the FEDERAL government as a complete and utter mess. Spending all of my contributions (as well as those borrowed from my grandkids) on grotesquely inefficient entitlement programs, an imperial military, and basically just bribing corrupt government officials so that anything can get passed at all. I feel no moral qualms whatever with avoiding those taxes to the extent legally possible.
call em' gallatines
I wonder if people still get caught in the middle with that - their parents could not have disowned them and could still be in a relationship with them, they just don't think that college is worthwhile or something so they don't want to contribute. But then as you say, what stops all parents pretending they don't think college is worthwhile. Which is why it could be better to not look at the parents income at all.
Terraform/Packer/Ansible is a popular combo.
> That doesn't only help woman, that helps everyone.

No, it doesn't help anyone. What if I have a financial emergency and am willing to work overtime for the next month for some extra cash? How exactly am I "helped" by not having the option to do that?
I would certainly pay more to ensure equity in tax collection.
Yes, that'd be a hot dog sandwich.
Except not the first one.
Not necessarily. If you point an A record for any domain at a Google owned IP you'll get that page.
I hope there's a bigger backlash to Google blacklisting/whitelisting certain features on websites they deem worthy/unworthy.

It's one thing to discriminate against certain sites in Search, where Google owns the webpages and servers. But to discriminate against the open web so that their services have an advantage over startups and smaller publishers is beyond unethical. At this point they're starting to act like a monopolistic ISP and should be called out for it.
Makes you think why you would go to work every day and be so serious all the time. This looks like serious fun.
I apologize if my question is leading : why should the government be considering with the concept of profit at all? It's not a business.
In the USA one won't be arrested nor go to jail for simply not paying taxes as it is merely a civil offense, not a criminal one.

While I can appreciate the fun factor, I hope this is not a turning point where HN becomes like Reddit. Get this off the front page please.
There are communities that exist without private property, like communes and Monasteries and Kibbutz. I wouldn't really call them communist though and the hallmark of all of them is that they exist in a larger societal context, rather than being a separate society.
I don't really think statements about "university funds generally" apply to Harvard or, say, Stanford.
Are you thinking of any early electrical engineer programmers in particular? The impression I got was that early programmers for scientific applications were largely mathematicians and scientists (e.g. Hopper, Turing, ENIAC programmers, von Neumann), while business programming was more office / business people.
It's not a bug, is a feature...
> any definition that say that a hot dog is a sandwich or that a sub/hero/hoagie is not a sandwich is a definition that I do not accept.

Isn't that still prescriptivism? Descriptivism here would mean noting what people claim constitutes sandwichhood, and maybe noting what people's behavior reveals about what they actually do or don't treat as a sandwich. But it would be prescriptivist to assert a new definition of sandwichhood, even if you argue that it's somehow more motivated than others.
AMD is a TSMC customer but GlobalFoundries is far from shutting down.
I think this is a special case of the 'simpler is better as absurdum' approach, where you only ever write 1-3 line functions, each in their own file, because they're 'simple'.

Of course, this really just moves the complexity to the composition of these functions and destroys locality of reference for anyone trying to read it.

If anyone is wondering why toast (1) is listed as an example of a sandwich (2)... I recently learned from a kind HN commenter that toast sandwich is a sandwich where the filling is a buttered piece of toast.
Hello, I'm currently working in my art-startup that will launch next year.
Two things helped to destroy the empire. First, it was the attempt of the Soviets to keep up with Reagan's Star Wars. They lacked the resources.

But also, Congressional Representative Charlie Wilson, single-handedly helped to get appropriations (matched by Saudi Arabia) to defeat the Soviets in Afghanistan with CIA funding of the Mujahideen in the Soviet–Afghan War [1]. This was the Soviet Vietnam.

Tom Hanks starred as Charlie Wilson in the 2007 movie, Charlie Wilson's War[2].

The movie was based on the 2003 book, "Charlie Wilson's War: The Extraordinary Story of the Largest Covert Operation in History"[3]

Both the film and the book are worth watching/reading. Truly an incredible story.

Public facing Charlie Wilson was a playboy. Privately behind he scenes he was on two Congressional subcommittees that doled out black-ops funding to the CIA.

Superior performance? Like when windows take a whole second to appear because the protocol is synchronous and the server is busy doing something else? :)

Wayland makes lots of things possible: multi-monitor HiDPI, touchpad gestures like pinch to zoom (just like Macs could do ages ago), touchscreen support that's actually independent of the mouse pointer instead of always dragging it along… and there's finally no goddamn screen tearing. Every frame is perfect™.
Obviously, and a burrito cut in half is a quiche. Throw away one half, cut off the end, and what remains is a sushi.
An interesting appeal to nature. Would you paint all socialist with this brush or just the Bolsheviks?

> The problem is, "the conditions imposed in the name of communism" are intrinsic to communism itself, because it is not a political system that works for human beings as they are.

And what would that be? The following?

>Fundamentally, a political system based on "you'll do this work happily, and you'll voluntarily send all these resources to people you are not particularly related to, and hopefully they'll be good enough to supply you in return" is just doomed, evolutionarily.

The short historical period where this could be somewhat true would be first few years after the Russian revolution and during the civil war where the Bolshevik government had nothing to give the farmers for their produce. They did however get rather useless money notes IIRC. The use of force that followed by the bolsheviks was in no way universally accepted among communists & socialist at that time or since.

> (Now, when it gets really scary is when people start deciding they just need to remake people then. Getting people to conform to political systems rather than getting political systems to conform to people is one of the greatest evils of our time.)

While I agree with this in some sense, I also think it's quite obvious that what's sometimes called human nature varies drastically, and are in fact nurture rather than nature. Some societies have no concept of money, some no concept of marriage, no concept of a nuclear family, some despise competitiveness, and so on.
Would love to know how you think emergency response or national defense would work in a taxes-are-voluntary scenario.
The audience of some of those shows whoop and howl in a crazy way, totally disproportionate to how funny the jokes are even if you're really into the show! I'm sure nobody sits at home roaring with laughter at every line but for some reason they do it in the audience.
>They clearly don't, and obviously don't understand why it exists. Nothing interesting would be possible without it. Nobody on Earth would be a C-level executive if they had criminal liability for all their employees. I sometimes think that people that want to end it have never been in charge of anything nontrivial and have no idea how terrible the consequences of ending it would be.

Well perhaps those things should be illegal or made untenable. If you are publicizing risks in such a way that you are privately profiting from the public endangerment, you really don't have any moral or legal right to that money. Yet here we are again in a situation where people are killed, an executive says "we're sorry", and they continue pocketing the money.
I live in a city with Uber & Lyft, and avoid taxis wherever possible for exactly the reasons you gave. Every time I take a taxi I regret it and swear it'll be the last time.

Another problem with cabs is that they are not incentivized to use the fastest route. Determining the fee at the start of the journey aligns both the driver's and passenger's interests.

> Junior engineers often end up devising solutions which are in fact too complex as they try to over engineer everything.

> The more experience I have, the more I accept that code is complexity and cost and that it should be avoided.

At a previous company I worked for I proposed a solution which was considered to be too "complex" by the VP R&D. So he and another "Senior" turned around and rewrote it into something more "simple."

This "simplicity" slowly turned into a constantly patched clusterfuck of a mess and it stripped off a dozen different ways of customization. The "simplicity" was produced as a consequence of both of the Senior engineer's ignorance towards to the tools (language, frameworks) we were using and they just went with their gut experience on it.

I'm somewhat different to you I guess. As things go on, I realise that simplicity is usually a hallmark of developers who don't really understand the tools they're working with and can't really foresee where the business would be going with that feature in 12 to 24 months.

It's a symptom of "Jira culture," where people develop things exclusively to satisfy their ticket and ignore the bigger picture of what they're actually trying to achieve.

This is not to discount people over-engineering things, but over-engineering is very different from complexity.
Just another data point: I've never experienced screen tearing in the decades that I've used X.

Also, when I run X just for myself on my own laptop, what security issues do I have to worry about with X that I don't have to worry about with Wayland?

I am personally opposed to the student loan system, but I don't think it's particularly akin to indentured servitude. The latter means not just one employer, but one owner who commands 100% of your time, feeds and houses you, controls where you live, can sell you at any time to somebody else, and a host of other things. Student loans just require you to pay back the loan out of your earnings. It's much more akin to a mortgage than slavery.
