That's one way to see it, and it's certainly not unreasonable to see it that way.

But looking at it another perspective, you can also argue that making MMOs with persistent worlds that can only be supported by subscription has become so risky of an investment that nobody is willing to experiment with drastically new paradigms/mechanics because historically an overwhelming majority of those who tried have failed, which could be what led to the creatively bankrupt landscape we have today.

It's impossible to know which perspective is more accurate because it's clearly a chicken-or-egg situation. But one thing that we can observe today is that practically (or maybe actually?) nobody even tries to make MMOs with subscriptions anymore, and new MMOs today end up defaulting to freemium (and all the morally bankrupt behavior that the model leads to), whatever the reason for that might be, and I think that's a shame.
Correcting by stamping white ink over a letter was indeed a marvelous improvement, but nothing like what came later with a word processor. Later word processors, like the Wang in the late 70's, destroyed Selectrics, and obsoleted the job of "secretary".

I remember my Mom typing his thesis over and over on the Royal typewriter. What a boring, dehumanizing task that was.

My dad abandoned his typewriter when he bought a Trash-80. I abandoned my typewriter when I discovered the printer in the computer center at Caltech around 1975. I'd use runoff, a marvelous program that is a precursor to HTML.

Sure, but people spend at least that much time browsing random stuff. Also, many stores did organize their collections, at least somewhat.

When I was ~13, discovering New York City, I found a copy of Fortunes in Formulas for Home, Farm, and Workshop. And an ad in a comic book for a chemical company in Texas that sold fireworks supplies. Years of fun followed.
You say "but..." as if these things are at odds with each other.
It's probably not going to affect it very much. SUSE has a decent sized chunk of appliance/embedded Linux business.

Aside from SAP, another user that most people wouldn't be too aware of was VMware. Before they created Photon OS, they used SUSE Linux Enterprise for their vCenter appliances. They've been long-time SUSE customers.

In addition to that, a large chunk of point-of-sale systems are built using SUSE Linux Enterprise customized JeOS ("Just enough Operating System") appliance systems.

I think this is likely to be just fine.

(Note, not a SUSE employee, this is just based on my spelunking and research.. ;) )

Ask HN: Why people do same thing for free?
I was working at a company where I was making $200 an hour maintaining their infrastructure on Google Cloud.

So this company now got a new guy who seems to do same stuff for nearly free. He doesn't have family like me so I guess he is able to charge very low for his service and on top he's young too but his lack of experience doesn't let him achieve the tasks company requires.

Next month company, will let me go as my manager told me. Company didn't ambush me or something but I am just sad, that I've been making that money for quite long and now just because someone is willing to do it for less because they find it interesting, how to deal with it?

What a fucking weirdo ... 'I own the Periodic Table and HTML... pay me!'
Pure AI isn't enough, you need all the quirks of human nature and physiology, and human experience. There isn't enough data in poetry corpuses to infer what this is - and new aspects are revealed by new circumstances.

If we ever have strong AI, reverse emgineering human nature and an AI having the human experiences of a human lifetime seems in the same ballpark of difficulty.

Of coirse, human nature may be passé at that point, especially for AI readers, and ersatz poetry more popular (just as electronic instruments have displaced "real" physical instruments in popular music).
I mistakenly thought that too, but it makes sense. Otherwise #fff would expand to #f0f0f0, which is a light gray, but not quite white.
I could be wrong, but I think the reason why String.length is one is to have a consistent idea of what happens when you have monospaced console output. Things in the elixir standard library exist "when you need them for elixir itself", and monospaced console output formatting working is needed in a few parts of elixir. If you care about bytes only, you can use byte_size, as indicated in the docs.

A lot of people don't know that "compostable", "biodegradable" or "corn/plant-based" plastics ONLY break down in commercial composting facilities where temperatures are maintained at 60˚C for a month or two.[1] You can't just toss them into a landfill or backyard compost heap and expect earthworms or microbes to do the rest.

The green symbols on the plastic and the eco-friendly marketing fools a lot of people. I don't know how many people in cities lacking curbside compost pickup programs happily buy this stuff guilt-free and think they're doing their bit for the environment.

Interesting point of view. Perhaps using a Teflon + antimicrobial coating for its "skin" and integrating a washing device in the robot for it to clean its gripper every now and then could work?
I think I see where you're going about the fees from your business. I agree, there's really not a lot of income directly generated, but a checking/savings account doesn't generate a lot of costs either. My understanding is it your credit union originates and services loans, that can be a pretty significant interest generator.

My credit union will give you 2% in checking if you meet all of these:

10 debit or credit card purchases per month

enroll in and maintain eStatements, eNotices, eTax & eCoupons for your accounts and loans

$300 minimum monthly ACH credit transaction or $5000 in deposit or loan balances

Previously, they required 10 debit card transactions per month, and I'm not sure I've made that many in my life. I'm going to check a bit closer on this, thanks. Credit union is StarOne.
They're also only compostable in commercial composting facilities. And most people live in cities where there isn't any curbside composting program to send these materials to commercial composting facilities. See my other comment in this same thread for more details.

> Ok, then suppose you decide you want to run MacOS. Do you think it's unreasonable to have to change your hardware for that? Then why do you think Linux should be able to magically run perfectly on all PC hardware out there?

I think it's unreasonable to change to Mac at all but that is a completely different topic regarding a walled garden.
I don't think Linux has to run on all kinds of hardware. Actually my argument was that Windows does that and that's one reason why it's everywhere and it will stay so for quite some time. You should read the comment you've originally answered to again.

> The Win10 spying is the #1 complaint I hear from people these days about why they're "really" going to switch to Linux this time.

The narrow group you are talking about here are also not the topic here. As I said before: Windows is everywhere. In regards to your argument here: most people don't care or don't even know about this.

> Yet the anti-Linux people constantly bring up games as some huge reason that desktop Linux "just can't work" and is "completely impossible". No, not everyone plays games, but people like you just can't conceive of this, can you?

Look at you. Just one comment before they were all addicts now everybody questioning the actual usability, compatibility and all those other issues form my first comments link are "anti-Linux people" and of course everything is my fault now...which brings us back to the topic of attitude. You know, that issue that you keep ignoring.

> I have decades of experience, unlike you apparently. In all my engineering jobs, the only thing Windows is used for is Office and Outlook, and maybe running a hypervisor.

Just like above you've displayed you extremely narrow experience and or world view and you keep doing it.
I work for a huge worldwide engineering and architecture company and we have all kinds of programs that have been written for and run on Windows. For example software that collects and manages logger data, ever heard of AutoCAD? Revit? I mean, seriously how could you in your DECADE OF EXPERIENCE never heard of that? Everything around Sharepoint. Everything the architects design for VR. Also client ports and client software is exclusively Windows in this field. Ever worked for any branch of the military or state entities? All this potentiality increases if you look at our subs and their subs.

So I guess your decades of experience are either in a very narrow field or you are ignorant or you just lied to me and hoped to get through with that. None of those options shad a good light on you and the Linux migration movement. As I have mentioned above: you are hurting it.

Sviatoslav Richter: A Pianist Who Made the Earth Move (2015)
The cryptocurrencies only remain as secure as your PC (or hardware wallet) is. And those things are only secure because they have the right software/firmware installed on them. And the reason you know you have the right firmware is because you trust the manufactures to put the right one in, and trust store/postal service not to tamper with it.

Once you are in the domain of "Anonymous $1 cards which people swap with each other", you no longer have this option. The obvious thing is to have corresponding entry in online database, but then anyone who wants to verify the card value will have to access this database -- so your privacy disappears.

I am not saying that it's impossible -- people are smart, something can likely be figured out -- but it is not obvious to me those cards can be made harder to forge than cash.
Although, this can matter if you are separated from a place to charge your watch, or somehow forget to charge it.

FWIW, there have been occasions where the IA has overridden its general policy to abide by the wishes of the domain/content owner. Joy Reid's (of MSNBC) blog is a recent example that comes to mind:

https://blog.archive.org/2018/04/24/addressing-recent-claims...

> We let Reid’s lawyers know that the information provided was not sufficient for us to verify claims of manipulation. Consequently, and due to Reid’s being a journalist (a very high-profile one, at that) and the journalistic nature of the blog archives, we declined to take down the archives. We were clear that we would welcome and consider any further information that they could provide us to support their claims.

In the past years, IA has said that it would ignore robots.txt directives when it came to government and military domains:

https://blog.archive.org/2016/12/17/robots-txt-gov-mil-websi...

> The Internet Archive is collecting webpages from over 6,000 government domains, over 200,000 hosts, and feeds from around 10,000 official federal social media accounts. Some have asked if we ignore URL exclusions expressed in robots.txt files. The answer is a bit complicated. Historically, sometimes yes and sometimes no; but going forward the answer is “even less so.”
All that extra CO2 could also raise temperature locally inside the meeting room, at least if it's got sunlight shining into it somehow. And the increased temperature will probably make the people involved feel even less comfortable and thus less able to think clearly! We'll need to develop radically new technology to scrub all this CO2 out of the planet's meeting rooms and save the world from its detrimental effects.
Yeah I should change the wording above to established cancer, thanks.
Comparing to jupyter seems odd. Org-mode can already do most anything I have seen jupyter do. Out of the box, pretty sure it can do more, since it supports tangling of source blocks for execution.

Note that I can't really claim you are wrong. People do seem to be converging on these tools rather heavily. I just can't see how it is capabilities that is driving it. Looks more like standard marketing.
I agree. It sounds innocuous, but 2 hour meetings basically end up eating half a day. You do some work when you come in at 9, by 10 everyone's there and the meeting starts, by the time it's done, it's lunch, and you get back to work at like 1 until the end of the workday. Sitting down at 9 only to get up at 10 is almost a waste of productive hour.

The Trouble with Windows CRLF
Just ran across this series of blogs by John Baez and they kind of blew my mind. I had no idea classical physics was plagued by these pathologies.

This has been posted here before, but not in a while, and they didn't get much attention. I took the liberty of elaborating the title a bit with the surprising bit which hooked me.

On a meta-level, the whole series gives a really nice view of General Relativity, Quantum Electrodynamics and the Standard model as attemts to fix pure math issues with previous models.

Anyway, hope you find this stuff as fascinating as I do!
Oh, but you do, because the parser will invariably leak into the way you write code. If your code takes twelve times longer to compile [1], or you need to add a space because the parser thinks that ">>" at the end of a nested template is ambiguous [2], or any number of "hacks" we have internalized as idioms because they make the parser happy, it's not really a problem with your machine anymore.
