His trademark is on "Software freedom law center", and he's suing the Software Freedom Conservancy. He doesn't hold a trademark on "Software Freedom".

This didn't stop advertisers from pulling their ads during the adpocalypse. They pulled them because "YouTube has to do something!"
Yeah that’s what happened my bad. Anyway, see my other comment: I still don’t think simply being able to choose your resolver as a consumer is enough. We need to defend against abuse technically and socially. It really shouldn’t matter which DNS provider you do use.
I'm sure it could run 10 X easily enough, the problem is the same problem that killed the Windows Phone ecosystem. No one's developing mobile/touch apps for anything other than Android and iOS. Windows has been fully touch enabled for years now but still there are almost no apps that take advantage of that, there isn't even a decent kindle app in the microsoft store. I wish this wasn't true but the truth is mobile belongs to Apple and Google and tablets belong to Apple.
> But the fact is that conservative politicians as a whole demonize LGBTQ

"As a whole" they do not. There exists many who do, to paint it part and parcel of conservatism is incorrect.

One could just as well claim it's not their conservatism, but religious beliefs.
Why GraphQL Is the Ideal API Language for Front End Engineers
The lack of having to write another $.ajax method is what draws me. We write internal use applications and actively avoid any SPA frameworks but like to enhance our applications to provide modal windows, etc. The fact I can do this with none to minimal js will be a game changer. Server side Blazor brings back the WebForms dev cycle without all the magic, postback and view state.
this reminds me of another art ios app that showed various watercolored circles that represented your mood..

what was cool about that..is that you could see a macro-pointillist view of the whole year.

There was a time that VBScript was the other option there. Oooof.
I wonder if folks recognize that all of this is internet only drama. I live in a diverse city of 5 million people, and I rarely to never come across someone who is so charged up over identity or race or political affiliations. Those .00001% of the time that I do, its usually related to something from the internet spilling into real life. I can drive 10 minutes from downtown and be in the heart of multiple ethnic groups, affiliations, and cultures, and in fact I often do to go eat or hang out with friends. When I interact with people in these areas I don't see the same behaviors that I see online. It really just makes me want to spend less time online which is a shame. As I entered college in the early 90s and the internet was coming to the masses it seemed a much more hopeful place.
How did TikTok solve the two sided marketplace problem and build critical mass?
Exactly; they got that out of their system with Windows RT. (And apparently the upcoming Windows 10 for ARM will ship with Win32 support via emulation.)
Any security researcher or engineer worth their salary is already planning for those theoretical vulnerabilities. Ideas like these are hashed out at the development meeting. Not fixed after the cart has left the barn.
You can find a decent 2 bedroom apartment in Thessaloniki for like 300 euros/month. There are cheaper (i've seen something like 120 euro studios for students in Athens near the university which aren't total dumps) and more expensive options too (for around 400 or so you can even find a house near the coast).

In general houses are very cheap in Greece. It is taxes and social security that raise the cost of living a lot. Last time i checked pretty much half of your income (actually a bit more) is lost.
Microsoft is using Android! Lauren Goode got a great quote from Satya on this topic:

Google introduced project Treble in Android O and P to allow Android to work against a HAL to basically decouple the underlying Linux Kernel and drivers from the over arching Android Framework.

There was speculation that this would enable Google to swap out the Linux Kernel for Fuschia when it becomes available.

The Windows NT Kernel has had a HAL and the ability to do this since it's inception in the 90s. Microsoft has been toying around with WSL on the desktop, what are the chances that they just beat Google to the punch and are running Android on the Windows Kernel?

How crazy would it be if WSL was just a cover for getting Android running ontop the Windows Kernel?
> We dont know how Youtube´s system operates

Sure, which is why this isn't "conclusive proof Youtube is blocking LGBTQ content". As I stated above, it's a contrived experiments and the results most likely can't be extrapolated, and you can't reach any definitive conclusions from it.

> Not really as titles (combined with other meta-data) have for a long time impacted the state of monetization

I'm not saying they don't play a role, most likely all of these data points are fed into the model. What I'm saying is that Youtube is primarily a video/audio site, so running an experiment with no audio/video isn't testing the model the way it runs in practice.

The model wasn't made to classify only titles, this is an abnormal input and therefore the output can't be used to reach any conclusions.
It's also in a json type in Postgres rather than a blob or varchar, while it's just raw data in redis.
Not in my opinion, but some advertisers clearly think so. And there are a LOT of Americans that believe it's bad to talk about too.

So that was a troll impersonating a well known Rustacean, but your comment is interesting in that it tries to discount a valid suggestion perhaps Rust is a good option in this situation. (Though pjmlp makes a good point about using the OS toolkit).

But to your criticisms, Rust has had a lot of attention to making it a decent drop in tool for integrating with C. There are multiple tools to produce the correct ABI either from C or to C from Rust. This is to your point about tooling and interop.

Putting rust into an existing project, is generally as easy as linking against any foreign C library, I’ve personally done this enough to know it’s easy to do either as a static library or a dynamic library. To your point about build process.

As to developer learning and choice of another language, there may be reasons why C was used in the first place that disqualify GC’ed languages. So if you want and need a safe C replacement that is easy to insert, Rust is a good option.

People shouldn’t disqualify it out of hand. In this particular place perhaps it’s not the right solution, and maybe a poor time to suggest it, but your reasons are not accurate to the realities of that work.
Ask HN: What Is the Best CRM for Small Company
Hello,
I'm struggling to find a decent CRM for my small but growing company. Currently paying $45/m per user is not affordable. I'm also Canadian so any USD product I automatically have to pay an extra 35%.

I'm comfortable installing a CRM on my server if need be. I installed one but its very bloated an slow. Looking for a lean solution kind of like notion.

Looking for a list of suggestions.

I will have around 3 users at most for the foreseeable future.

Thank you!
Ah, click-bait in 280 characters?

TL;DR (or "A lengthy summary posted using Twitter's clunky 'thread' feature; didn't read"): Portugal has laws that require farmers to dispose off their dead cattle, Spain doesn't.
Why do you feel they need to either be a top 10 YC company or they should just be a foundation? Seems like if they can make a few hundred million an year they can just be an ongoing business.

“Just a CRUD app” is not a good analysis because very few of the companies on this list are based on technological breakthroughs. They are mainly B2B SaaS apps.

> I'd argue the press has always chosen the political winners (sometimes by accident by always talking negatively about them) and facebook as the new kingmaker is not much different than hearst, gannett, murdoch or soros anointing someone.

There's an important difference you're missing: The press isn't monolithic and it's also self-consciously part of the American democratic political order. Facebook is monolithic and it seems to want to shirk its democratic responsibilities much of the time.
This is actually a good point. I suspect using asan on this lib as it used by WA would have had a negligble performance impact on the overall UX.

(That is, assuming asan would have really captured this specific instance).
It was called !Gravity on the Acorn Archimedes. It was written in BASIC (and possibly some assembler) and I remember it being a popular game at school to hack - change the number of planets, acceleration rate etc.
What about the ASUS ZenBook Pros that already have two screens?
Sure. Just expressing opinion.

IMO it was a mistake to give up on the Windows 10 mobile OS but it's also true that MS has made too many mistakes for it to ever take off at the point where Android and iOS have been developed for at least 7 years already.

If I had a quarter every time I heard this. You can say that for half of the companies on that list. If Facebook and Google can make so much money from ads, heck even Twitter. Reddit can do the same if they really put in the effort in building a strong ad platform. They are quite comfortable.
Yup definitely! We'd love to discuss with you more on our community forum https://discuss.streamlit.io .
what about for a junior dev? i've been at my first real development job for five months (before this job, i was doing web design with html and css but not actual development). i'm not happy with the mentorship i'm receiving. i want to find another job so i don't miss out on crucial mentoring at this early stage in my career. would it look bad to a recruiter if i've only been here for 5 months? in my time here, i've been productive and contributed (far past their expectations), so it's not like i'm wasting my current company's time. i just want to learn the craft of good software development and not learn bad habits, and don't think that will happen here.

> That said, I guess if you're relatively junior, it's hard to grossly misconfigure Redis, so that's a point in its favor.

Redis persistence (or possibly lack-thereof) is probably quite complicated for a junior developer to understand. I'd actually expect a better outcome with PSQL.
This is not happening.

What is happening, is notch tweeting reactionary opinion pieces on twitter and people are irritated by it. No one thinks he represents all gamers or their perceived 'wrongness', and no one expects him to fit into some imaginary SV mould.
I have some libraries I maintain with `six` -- I find it like writing in a whole new dialect (neither 2 nor 3).

I moved to futurize for some libraries -- its like writing python 3 that will run on python 2.

I am looking forward to dropping python 2 support on libraries I maintain.
If only the taxes, social security and other expenses didn't demand more than half of your income. And that is ignoring the recent idiocy of paying upfront 100% of your taxes for the next year (hopefully the new government will get rid of that).

True. Would you concede that dependent on one's background/circumstances some cultures might be easier to adjust to?

Let's be clear, that was not the request. The baker refused to bake the cake because it was for a gay wedding, and such a cake would "promote gay marriage".

There are still many people out there who do not "believe" in interracial marriage. Do you support a baker refusing to make a cake for an interracial couple? Do they have the right to refuse business solely based on the race of their customers?
Sure that’s fair, not really specific to Go though
Depends, if their banks have to follow the central euro bank rates or not, since they have their currency they might not have to, I don't know the specifics on how that works.

Anyway, Central bank has interest at negatives, people are buying houses in EU with very little interest.
Wondering if this is the year Microsoft starts pulling devs away from MacBooks. Good build quality, 3:2 aspect ratio, and now a 15-inch screen. The custom processor seems exciting too, although it's hard to evaluate that without benchmarks.
I'm so glad Microsoft is trying again in the Phone space. I wish Amazon would try again, too. It's nice to have choices.
Coffee is really the only caffeinated thing I consume. I learned after my (relatively mild by some stories I've read) floxxing that caffeine + flox drugs are a bad combo, and I was very much a coffee person, so of course I combined them. My skin has been more sensitive in general ever sense, and attempts to drink regular coffee usually lead to that pins and needles sensation.

On the upside, I've discovered a great decaf: Slow Motion from Counter Culture. So hard to find high quality decaf, and I'm glad I was recommended this one. I actually drink more coffee now than before because I've been able to switch to decaf.
If it ain't broke, why fix it?
As long as Google owns the mobile OS, Microsoft will never be able to maintain any significant control over the app model or user experience.
No concrete evidence, just my opinion based on personal experience. I attended Princeton as a lower middle class white, non-athlete, non-legacy admit. Most of the undergrads aren't particularly intellectually impressive - you'll find way smarter and more intellectually curious people in Silicon Valley. The Ivies have a baseline level of intelligence you need to hit, which isn't extraordinarily high, but after that they're selecting based on conscientiousness, willingness to work hard, athletic ability, parental resources, and luck. See https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2001/04/the-org...
But it was pointed out upthread that animated GIFs aren't fully supported by the native Android libraries. So Rust would actually be a reasonable solution here.

It's true that there are costs associated with using Rust in the build process and so forth, but WhatsApp is trying to be a secure messenger and is FAANG-backed. The challenges can be overcome.
free on insert in a tree isn’t really free, as the only reason to replace insert in a list by insert in a tree would be this check.

I think it also would make the memory manager less cache-friendly, as reusing just freed memory blocks would be impossible.

1. Is Windows Mobile Dead?

2. Does anyone remember the name of a similar Microsoft notebook that was teased 5-10 years ago? It was a foldable notebook and notetaking device kind of like Remarkable. I wonder if this is the spiritual child of that.
Which is why I'd like an Android subsystem. I want the basic UI experience and default apps to be Windows 10 X. For 90% of my phone usage, I'm using the stock apps (launcher, email, browser, calendar, etc.), and I'd prefer that to be the 10 X experience rather than Android. I want Android to feel like an app safety net, not the primary experience.

But like I said before, even without that, it's still the right device for me.
Where is the story from?
Generated/computed columns are a fairly common RDBMS feature; MySQL has it since 5.7; SQL Server, Oracle, and DB2 have them. So, Postgres having them makes migrating into Postgres easier and migrating out no more difficult except maybe if you are migrating to SQLite or a nonrelational store.
*except he really did care and was not just pretending.
Of course it's already possible, but is it convenient? You're sitting at an airport gate and want to show something to your travel partner on your device. You unhinge the second monitor and hand it to them. That's what I envision based on what they described, not sending them a WebEx link or trying to setup some kind of screen share.
I have always been skeptical of this claim.

I have seen the Pacific ocean trash problem firsthand; did a lot of beach cleanups. I simply do not believe that 8 million tons of plastic entering the oceans every year is flowing out through rivers from land.

Given this new theory I actually suspect that some significant fraction of the plastic waste we were shipping to China for "recycling" was instead being dumped directly into the ocean midway. It'd be cheaper, and it'd be hard to get caught. Given today's greed, I have little doubt this happened.

If it were about caching, he wouldn't have used an ORM and a json Postgres type. And there would have been more detail about the query cache, backing store, and wal+fsync settings for Postgres.
This is a problem with media backed crypto currencies. Someone is going to be a central authority.

We have a system that works fairly well in Bitcoin. The system is decentralized and uses proof of work. It works well for being money. I think the next innovations in the space are going to be incremental improvements around this system.

That does provide healthcare - Medicare and Medicaid, which I believe covers about half of the US population. One reason some are opposed to going to a government paid system is the fact that we spend so much on that where if the costs were simply doubled it'd be a rediculous expense.

The bigger dual screen device is the Surface Neo.
> The Surface Duo features two 5.6-inch displays that can rotate 360 degrees, allowing it to be fully unfolded as a miniature unfold to 8.3-inch tablet.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, it seems like you wouldn't ever need more than 270 degrees.
I think this is a smart strategy. They're trying to involve developers as early as possible to avoid repeating the Windows mobile mistakes. It'll also allow them to collect feedback and adjust the product before launching it. This will give it a greater chance of success.
It seems that the EU could retaliate immediately, due to an old WTO win [1]. Though probably for a smaller amount, somewhere between $2.2bn and $5.0bn. And then of course there is the pending WTO final decision against Boeing/US expected I believe next year [2].

> I'd trust a large company like Google who has stronger data protection policies in place than the smaller alternative also in the same space.

There are two sides to this "data protection" thing, though. One side is how secure a company keeps the data it has. The other side is how secure your data is from that company.

Balancing the two meanings of "data protection", I personally much prefer the smaller alternative over companies like Google, Facebook, etc.
> Let's be clear, that is not the request.

Yes, it was the request. They wanted a custom cake celebrating a gay wedding, which was precluded by the baker's sincere religious belief.

If you read TFA I linked to, you would have read this as well as all the other insane requests refused, and that the baker was willing to sell otherwise made cakes.

This is a well litigated, well reported case and you have twice now insisted material elements of the case did not happen.

This is not about refusing someone based on their immutable attributes, but their requested content. Stop asking rhetorical questions regarding racism.
Give it enough time and there will even be certification programs!
1. Yes.

2. You're probably thinking about the Courier. You'll see more about that in the thread about Surface Neo, which is the modern take on Courier.
