A GPL app can absolutely link to proprietary software and still be covered under the GPL.

From the GPLv3 itself.

> The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.

Now you can't just go and include random proprietary jars in your app for whatever reason but but linking to the jar for the purposes of using the system notifications and background services seems to me like it would definitely count.
The C spec actually states at the beginning, "This International Standard does not specify ... the size or complexity of a program and its data that will exceed the capacity of any specific
data-processing system or the capacity of a particular processor;"
Screen, tmux, vim, emacs, ncurses. None of these are 70s products. Nor do they optimize for 70s performance limitations.

They are modern terminal UIs. We pick terminal UIs because the terminal tends to expose a lot more features than a gui. This tendency is probably because it is easier to add features to a tui than to a gui.

Then there is a kind of self reinforcing effect where people like working within similar paradigms, and people get used to TUIs in general. This makes those people prefer making TUIs over GUIs even more. Incidentally, it is mostly developers who tend to need the more powerful features currently only offered in a TUI.
The tower is probably in a pretty dense area. If they start listing it people would probably freak out no?
Is there any research around that tests whether self-defined "night owls" are immune to the hormonal effects of sunrise and sundown (as visual stimuli)?

I once considered myself one, until I started actually rolling the blinds up in the mornings (Spanish blinds block all light) and staying away from blue light in the evenings. Being brought up in a cloudy, rainy town and having a very obstructed view of the outside from my bedroom window didn't help, I must admit.

Also I wonder if certain habits and behaviors, like dopamine-induced compulsive social browsing or gaming, food addictions, etc. play a role here.
I can hope they leave them alone, but that's a fools wish. Not looking forward to them stripping away feature after feature, and charging exorbitant per-user prices to get them back.
Depressing conclusion as new study reverses 25 years of research
The New York Times is an institution that's failing to live up to it's reputation. Too many of it's stories are editorialized to the point where they're not much better than someone's blog

The standard of proof that you are demanding here is disingenuous.

Also, I noticed that on this site people have a profound misunderstanding of what journalism is. Journalism is first and foremost story telling.

The stories are based in truth of course, but the core of any news story in the story, it's right there in the name of it!

If we replaced this with articles based on raw 'data', as many on this site seem to suggest, then no one would read them.

As a German speaker and (I assume) English speaker, you're likely aware that the sound represented by ö is not at all common in English. One can argue that it's not like "r", but it's a closer approximation of the mouth position and sound than others. The IPA for Gödel is /ˈɡɜːrdəl/ : the symbols don't map one-to-one with English orthography (then again, what does), but it's no accident that there's an r in there. And then there's the question of whether or not to pronounce names closer to how they're pronounced in their native tongue, or how they're more properly understood, or some other rational.

IvyTech is really the only 'community college' and in fact is 2 of the 3 schools that come up when you search 'Indianapolis community college' (the other I've never heard of and given the neighborhood it is in I doubt it's a proper educational program) in Google. It is $140 a credit hour (which isn't true, they add tons of fees) for in-state students. Using your example the only welding certificate they have is Structural Welding at 21 credit hours which after all fees appears to be $4690 for in-state students. It appears only 20% of their students actually complete the program on time (within 8 months) too which doesn't say much for the school... https://www.ivytech.edu/academics/gainfulemployment/ge/struc...

IUPUI, hands down the cheapest accredited university in Indianapolis, doesn't have a 'welding certificate' or anything remotely approximating it. They do have 'certificates' on their minors page but the only thing remotely trade related is some certificates in motorsports

yes that's jitter, that's part of what they're trying to address. That's like ... the whole point; you're paying to avoid routing through intermediaries with unreliable performance characteristics.

edit: I see your other comment now. It wasn't there when I wrote this comment. Leaving it as it was for posterity.
Yeah, and back in the day the random webshops you're referring to didn't do a fraction of the business that Ebay, Etsy and Shopify are doing now.

If people thought they could not pay those platforms' fees and still do OK, don't you think they would have? They're going to those platforms because that's where the shoppers are.

You can definitely attempt to control your own SEO, but most sellers are there to sell stuff now; they don't have time to learn SEO and implement it if it doesn't bring them more business or save them more time compared to using another merchant's platform.
Lots of web hosting providers have this kind of thing on cheap tiers if you go over the quota. So we can speculate that we've HN-hugged it to death.

The primary value is making interactive data visualizations with minimal effort. I can go from nothing to having something in the user's hands in less than a day, complete with things like tooltips, dynamic filters, parameters, etc.
Just curious, does it means that a proprietary application downloaded through an open-source GPL script makes the whole (application + script) "GPL compliant" ?
I'm curious - can MQTT or some enhancement to it achieve persistence and exactly-once-delivery semantics (or at-least-once semantics) ? I am looking for a message queue with guaranteed delivery that can be embedded into existing platform and packaged with it (so that there is no external dependency for messaging, like Kafka, etc.).

I investigated NATS Streaming but found some information that discouraged me from using it.
Yeah, it depends on enforcement.

Have you given it a go with a REALLY nice VR setup? Dude it's incredible. I'm a private pilot who has friends who fly commercial and who've tried my setup at home. From a systems fidelity perspective and immersion, you can get quite close. They were all awestruck. Short of a Level D sim, they all agreed it's the best they had seen, and in certain respects even felt more immersive (lighting is a big one, since you have a lot more control over shadows and whatnot, compared to level D sims which usually end up having a disconnect with cockpit lighting and the outside, unless its a night flight).

Pardon the double post but I think I see what you're looking for. The full diatribe is mostly advocating for a new lebensborn program. The direct talk of breeding up ubermensch/supermen with that exact word supports this.

Of course the lebensborn program was integral with the wider eugenics sterilization program but perhaps we think Molyneux wants to skip that part.

Except the phrase in question refers to the _whole_ breeding arena. "Whole" is clearly not selective breeding of .5% of the population.

He also refers to _cleaning_ the gene pool ie removing "bad" genes. A breeding program alone won't clean any genes.

So the meaning is completely clear, especially in context not in-spite of it.

As an aside, the absurd use of language and the poor guy who hopes to become one of the select few with the right genes is an archetype of the cult leader/follower relation with its nonsensical parallel reality.
It's not disagreeing with Apple PR. People are saying that Apple hid the CPU slowdown from consumers to fix a problem with the batteries so that people would be forced to upgrade to newer devices. That's not true and the only evidence needed is that the release notes, which are shown to everyone before the device is updated, said exactly what the resolution and throttling were for. The only disagreement to be had is whether or not they could have been more vocal about the change (they could have) and whether putting it in the changelog was enough (it wasn't). It was absolutely beneficial to those customers suffering from the issue but it should have been communicated better which, unfortunately, is not at all what's being argued.
Talk to a lawyer to be sure, but this would fall under the system library exception to the GPLv3 (though maybe not v2)
>Google is the most evil, of the companies that started with "don't be evil".

Curious, what companies use that same phrase you are comparing it to?

Or if that isn't what you meant, where is Apple and Microsoft on the Good vs Evil dichotomy?

The 14 minute mark appears to be the end credits.
Not until I get paid cold hard cash to do it. ;-)

I'm not saying I don't exercise. I just do it in the evening after work, when I feel it provides a couple of benefits. (1) I do it consistently every day, because I feel more "up to it" at that time. (2) I feel that it helps relieve the stress of my work day, since focusing on my form and nothing else is almost meditative to me.

I just feel that making people think it's somehow better to exercise only in the morning will discourage some people from exercising daily, which I feel is more important than the time of day.
In Australia it's not uncommon for Toyota 22R engines to run for 400Kkm before needing a rebuild.
A digital tax is basically an equivalent to custom tax. Goods like German cars have to pay custom taxes during importing them to the US. A Netflix stream from the US to Germany not. And that is getting fixed.

But it is fair to say: this is not only about taxes. This is also about countries gain control over global economy.
Could an argument be made that this falls into the system library exception?
Is it still possible? I mean, how can an individual compete in someway with the giants as Facebook, Google, Twitter etc. How can you get visibility? How can you get the audience when everyone is somewhere else (even here in HNs)?
It's probably an alpha stage project that's in the feedback gathering phase. Given who's behind it, I fully expect this to become a fully "productized" thing later, replete with newsletter/ebook popups and some SaaS offering.
In that case, Signal can run the integration in another process. It's extra work, but it also gets around the GPL issue for the main application, so if Google doesn't solve that itself, it's easy for someone else to and share the solution with everybody.

It would also be easy to spot if Google put an updater inside the library because the requested permissions for using the library would change.
>> A better way would be to unmount and send the filesystem with 'dd' or something like that

To add to that.. to avoid having to unmount your filesystem; use LVM. Then you can call `sync`, snapshot your main volume, and `dd` the clean snapshot. Once you're done, remove the snapshot. This strategy avoids downtime while backing up your volume.

Ask HN: Why does Luminary need permission to list podcasts in their app?
https://www.niemanlab.org/2019/04/luminarys-rough-launch-continues-as-another-high-profile-podcast-asks-to-be-removed-from-its-app/

Various podcasters and podcast networks (including Joe Rogan, New York Times, etc.) have asked Luminary to remove their shows from the app. And I don't understand why any company would comply with such a request.

The Niemanlab article refers to licensing issues, but how can a publicly available podcast have licensing issues? The whole point of a podcast is to be platform agnostic. Anyone can build a directory and/or app that features any podcast under the sun. So why is Luminary so special?

I understand that podcasters object to the company's ad-free/premium business-model, but why would any podcaster believe that they have the right to ban an app from accessing their publicly available content? Moreoever, why would Luminary honour these requests?
About 10-20 years ago, you'd be completely correct.

But that area has underwent some of the craziest transformations I've seen in a long time recently. Not exactly gentrified, but certainly more accepting of literally everyone.
Thanks for asking. No, I don't use video chat much at all. Really, I only do it occasionally with my family when I can't be there for somebody's birthday (I'm in Washington state but the rest of my family are in Kansas). And of course, I only use video for their benefit, not mine.

I currently work in an on-site office environment, and only a small number of us are blind or low-vision. When I'm initiating a real-time conversation with someone, I'll often do it by IM. We may do it face-to-face if the other person is right there, but to me that's just like an audio call with 3D positioning, perfect fidelity, and no latency. To be fair, that is indeed still better than current VoIP, but not enough so that I would insist on being in the same building as my coworkers. Indeed, with an online audio group chat, I always know when someone joins or leaves the group; that's not always the case in person.

At my previous job, by contrast, we were an all-distributed team made up almost entirely of blind or low-vision people. As you would expect, we never used video. But we did use audio a lot, both one-on-one and group chats. (Our favorite voice chat system ended up being TeamTalk [1].) I never met most of my coworkers in person, and I never felt that this was a problem. It only just now occurred to me that the few sighted people on our team might have been uncomfortable with the way the rest of us worked. As for the rest of us, as far as I know, none of us ever wanted to be together in an office building. At least not for the sake of communication; having a shared pool of test hardware would have been nice from time to time.

OFC they will, it would be criminally negligent of them not to.

However if the NSA is currently your adversary and you are worried of being targeted then pre QC or post QC encryption isn't going to matter push comes to shove they'll beat it out of you.

But as I said if the NSA or any other agency is currently capturing and storing encrypted data they can't afford to decrypt via targeted means they'll be able to retroactively decrypt it if they do manage to build a quantum computer and quantum supremacy would be a definite thing.

But right now there isn't an encryption the NSA can't break as long as there are people and additional assets involved in the process.

In fact I would be that for targeted attacks it would still bet easier to bribe, raid/hack the server farm or beat the snot out of someone in a black site than to use a quantum computer for quite a while after these things would be become a reality to factor the RSA private key corresponding with the key exchange of the traffic you want to decrypt.
Good question. I have the same setup on one server hosting GitLab, Pi-Hole, Plex, etc., and I have Restic (and its cronjob) installed on the host and only backup the files that I mount to each Docker container, which are all stored in /srv/docker.

In theory, you need to be ready to literally delete every container at any time and pull them from scratch and be 100% fine, since all of your actual data should be stored on the host and mounted as Docker volumes [0]. It's a good Doomsday test if you're looking for one. ;)

Either way, by even introducing competition like this, you're doing something fantastic. Kudos!
Apple lobbies against right to repair, and Microsoft lobbies for software patents, among other of their user-hostile actions, so they both deservedly fall under 'enemy'.

And do not pretend this '1 restriction' is the full extent of Google's user hostility - it is merely the latest straw.

Edit: You may find calling someone an 'enemy' rather extremist - after all, Google is just doing what's best for its bottom line, same as other companies, right? But when they increase their profit not just by providing a good product/service, but also by altering the market/ecosystem/legal system to leave you worse off, what else would you call them? Perhaps sociopath - but "sociopath that's trying to get you for all you're worth" isn't meaningfully distinct from "enemy".
Did you mean to reply to my post? I'm saying this writer has presented as fact things which no one knows for certain.
Because reflowing 1000 words is a lot simpler that designing a general method for conveying your message on any given aspect ratio, resolution and size.

Because text is a lot more portable across platforms.

Because interacting with text is a lot easier to automate. And extracting information from text automatically is easy whilst extracting it automatically from a picture is very difficult.

GUIs are great for discoverability, and complex long ineractive sessions. But they also have downsides.

A short overview:

1. Rust the language knows nothing about allocation. If you care about this behavior, it mostly limits the code of others' that you can use, but you can always write your own versions of things that respect fallible allocations.

2. Rust's standard library assumes memory is infallible. This is partially because it's a good default, and partially because our allocator API was not ready yet.

3. We've been working on the allocator API.

4. We have a rough plan for parameterizing data structures over allocators.

5. If this topic is of interest to you, https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-allocators is where to get involved.
Ask HN: Smart Workflows for Shared Components?
We currently have a WordPress site (marketing) and a custom React web app (business logic). The goal is for the look and feel of both to be consistent, and to stay DRY by sharing our React components.

I expect that we'll keep the components in a separate npm package, and in the case of any major changes to the component library, just manually synchronize the deployment of both sites.

To minimize the marketing dept's dependency on engineering, I'm thinking of using a headless WP installation to manage the content and pull it into React components dynamically. Ideally using SSR, or less-ideally loading the content using XHR.

Has anyone dealt with this type of setup before? Are there any obvious pitfalls, or best practices for keeping teams independent while keeping multiple sites in sync?
But this is my point. Geeky people have a strong opinion about how much this or that implementation sucks or doesn't suck. No one has a strong opinion about VR platforms, or quantum computing, or drones, or any other next big thing, so that makes AR look like it has half a chance to me.
