Lack of curation. I would personally be happy to pay extra for a marketplace with a limited set of products that have been tested & vouched for, instead of Amazon's Wild West full of Chinese no-name fly-by-night brands.
It is entirely possible a blind person would buy a painting or a piece of artistic jewelry as a gift for a friend or family member; they may even buy one, sight unseen, to decorate their apartment or body for the enjoyment of their sighted friends.
Yes, note that i'm explicitly saying "from the user's perspective" here. Of course i'm not expecting sourcehut (or github or anything) to do something they do not even meant to do. Even projects in Sourceforge often have their code repository in other places.

> You're debating on basically becoming a terrorist

While on some technical level you may be correct, I think it is intellectual dishonesty to compare the targeted activism I'm suggesting to the indiscriminate violent attacks typically associated with terrorism.

I'm certainly not advocating that anyone fly a plane into a building, that doesn't help anyone.
> You should be more concerned with what a given charity's administrative overhead is.

If charity1 has a 20% overhead and then spends the rest on saving the life of a child for every 1000$, while charity2 has a 40% overhead but saves a child for every remaining 500$ spent, which one is better? Overhead is just one factor of a charity's efficiency.

Of course in this case the cost of the powder is just a small factor, and you also need to consider the cost of distribution and other overheads. And the fact that the effectiveness probably drops off at some point. Obviously just spending 1B$ is not going to save 20 billion children, there aren't that many children that need these ORS packets.

When you start to add conditions/exceptions to free speech, it ceases to be free speech. Unpopular speech, however painful/nauseating, is explicitly protected in the U.S. If all speech was agreeable, there'd be no need for free speech laws.
That's vague wording on purpose to cover anything they want. So what we've determined they want is to avoid any public show of support for the people of Hong Kong. I don't know if I'd call it unfair so much as showing their true intentions.

I'm glad to hear that others have the same opinion regarding software copyrights. I'd even go one step further and say that the source code must be included in that unhindered copy. Otherwise, the public's right to make derivative works from things in the public domain cannot be upheld.

There's more to it than that. It's not just about a professional advantage - it's about company cultures that are toxic toward people with families.

This quote for example: 'I’ve asked David Wong, working in the cryptocurrency team at Facebook, what would be the best way to be noticed by Facebook? He answered: “Side Projects” and “Blog”.'

To many people with kids, that reads: Facebook doesn't want to hire engineers with families, because the things they care about from folks are diametrically opposed, in many cases, to the time required with children.

I absolutely think that if you have the time and flexibility you should use it. But there are (and should be) other ways to stand out to companies or to create value that don't involve side gigs outside of the normal work day.
Would "having links to the chinese government" make the cut for this list? because if so, you can add Tencent, and by extension Epic games, Reddit and Riot games.

Disagreeing with your statement is not the same as agreeing with holocaust denial.
I end up doing exactly the same thing though I start with the intent of starting a project. What usually happens is there is no particular algo or technique I wanted to explore and once I do that I lose interest and feel bad about never finishing a useful side project. This was especially true with video games when I was younger!
Yes. You presuppose that all rules - via their nature of being rules - are automatically fair. They aren't. Especially not if they're not arrived at by consensus, but unilaterally laid out.
In the case of a company going bankrupt I could certainly seeing the lawyers ordering a trading freeze to prevent insider trading.

That said, I looked it up and it seems like the claim at the time was there was an “administrative change” to the plan during that period, so not what I speculated it might be.
Spacemacs is my favorite way to use Emacs, I leave the Emacs keybindings for it, but you can still use some of the ergonomic shortcuts from it. I have never used Magit however, I just prefer using a GUI: Sourcetree on Windows / Mac is A+, Gitkraken is fine, but idk if I can justify $60 a year, and SublimeMerge doesn't "feel" ready for me just yet, but if it ever does I may consider it. The main way I do things overall is IntelliJ and Co's built-in git utilities. If something gets complex I switch out and into GitKraken or Sourcetree.
I don’t think it’s even a find out a decade or two from now thing. Despite our best effort to shield our eyes from the evidence we can say with reasonable certainty that China is currently committing all of the same atrocities as the Nazis.
We need an equivalent to Godwin's law for making parallels to Orwell's 1984. It's thrown around so much in internet debates these days that it loses all meaning IMO.

Besides it doesn't even really work here, the Ministry of Love is about torture and spreading fear throughout the population. If anything what the parent proposes would be closer to the Ministry of Truth but even that is a stretch. I think the soviet Goskomizdat might be a better comparison.
OS X's CoreAudio is still an incredibly well-designed technical architecture, designed by a team who really understood digital clocking from a hardware perspective and the importance of low-latency kernel support. It's still kind of amazing to me that it was essentially fully baked by 2002-2003. On Windows there's now WASAPI Event, which has a similar architecture, but for the longest time third-parties had to step in with a third party solution (ASIO) because the OS support wasn't there (and ASIO really only solves a subset of the problems CoreAudio solves). I'm frustrated by how little attention the driver and documentation side of things has gotten from Apple since then, but for some specialized requirements the underlying architecture is still just fantastic.

A few companies and minority ownership stakes does not mean any super power owns the majority of another super power. That's a wide gulf.

It's a by-product of feeling like they're missing out on something. Also, some narratives around software side projects pit them as something you have to be doing in order to be successful. That's not true at all, but if you're even slightly insecure about your skills could elicit negative reactions.

There are a handful of wars in the 20th century that you can argue the US participated in because of principles (communism bad).
That is my second paragraph.
Yes. Humans are not suddenly owned because they take part in a contest or work for an employer. We should be allowed to point out literal genocide and authoritarian beatdowns without losing our jobs -- especially when it's an entirely different country.

They're trying to silence the people by pressuring companies to punish those people. Any companies that bow to this pressure are straight up saying that they'd rather support genocide and the right for China to detain and treat protestors however they feel like --- rather than let someone who won a contest to have a personal opinion about it.
Sorry for not entirely related to the main thread, but since it seems there are many people in this thread knowledgable on what's going on in Hong Kong, I'd like to ask 2 questions.

I'm not siding with CCP, but my issue is I'm not sure I can side with the protestors either. Because

1. Does the protestors representing the majority of citizens? If yes at this stage why the working class in Hong Kong hasn't started long term strike yet? I would imagine that the most effective non violence method of protesting by citizens would be stop working. That would for one stop the tax flow to the government.

2. Is it necessary for protestors to be violent against pro-China civilians/properties? I'm aware that the protestors have been subject to violence from both police and mobs alike, but fighting for democracy should be a higher cause than revenge? Aren't they fight for freedom of speech among others? Or it's just freedom for themselves and violence and totalitarianism for who else disagrees? [1]

Again I love freedom to the point I've spent many years fighting it for myself and helped a few people. I support Taiwan to be an independent country. But we all know many bad things have been committed under the name of freedom as well. Now I'm not sure if the Hong Kong protestors are fighting under the name of freedom to actually express their hatred toward mainlanders? Thanks for reading and hope my questions would not offend anyone. Just would like to understand the situation better.

Also I'd like to suggest for whoever suggesting going to war with China first consider asking your government to grant full citizenship, permanent residency, or unconditional asylum to Hong Kong permanent residents who wants it.

Edit: would like to hear some thoughts when you downvote.

> Whereas true understanding occurs when following side by side the Coq code and the evolution of the goals

This is the only way to understand a proof script, because proof scripts in and of themselves are totally opaque. It's like running a function with no source information step-by-step in a debugger. Declarative proofs are high-level (and can in fact be made arbitrarily-high-level by omitting proof steps and turning them into well-structured "sketches") and give you the equivalent information within the source code.
>One wonders if there is an entire revolutionary class within China sharing South Park videos for freedom.

There certainly is an entire generation who is ready for reforms if not an outright democratic revolution, but no I don't believe their end goal is freedom to pirate South Park video clips.
-1) promotes ecosystem monoculture

-2) centralizes point of systemic failure

-3) a downside to the "network effects" benefit is that it is becoming a "social coding" platform, with all the toxic effects and perverse incentives endemic to social media

I actually count much of my hobbies as 'side projects' as well even though almost none of them include actual programming. It's something I do which isn't work. And most of them do involve some other kind of skill and labour. And also almost none of them get me any money, and that also usually isn't a main motivator for me. tldr; I sort of agree with the general sentiment here, but feel the article is written a bit too much from personal experience without much more general reflection on the topic and focussing only on programming and not treating other things as side project. Or maybe that's the definition of side project, not sure :)
No matter how "productive" it is, working 16 hours every single day is even more "productive". By working I include any activity that solely exists to improve time spent working such as education.

Most academics will have studied and worked in many countries by the time they achieve something major. Nobody's the product of a single country like that. These people have been educated and worked in Canada, the US, the UK, Switzerland...
It's kind of hard to say "you do not deserve to share your life with the person you love. You don't deserve to take care of them when they're sick. You don't deserve a family with them. Because you're gay" without actually hating gay people.

Just because you don't call for somebody to be killed doesn't mean you don't hate them.
Well let's talk Minsky since you wanted to bring it up. Minsky and Stallman were long term friends. Minsky is dead and can't defend himself. Stallman, when directly asked about Minsky, said he didn't believe Minsky knew the girl was a sex slave, and Minsky believed the sex was consensual. It's a fair comment by Stallman. Legally it's also irrelevant since believing sex is consensual when it's not doesn't matter. Also there's the issue of it being statutory rape as well, age of consent in Virgin Islands is 18. But Minsky's dead so he can't be prosecuted for either charge anyway. Did Minsky know he was a rapist? Maybe not, Stallman points out. Fair enough. Was Minsky legally a rapist? Almost certainly so. Would have been a good follow up question to Stallman so he could clarify his thoughts. Are Stallman's opinions here objectionable? I don't find them so. Worth annihilating the reputation and life of someone who is possibly the most productive software developer in history? I think not.
As far as I know:

1. Kaepernick wasn't fired. He simply wasn't signed by anyone team after his contract with the 49ers ended.

2. It's a matter of factual controversy whether his treatment by the NFL was affected by his advocacy at all. As far as I know, no manager has explicitly admitted to making different choices about how to deal with him based on his kneeling.

3. It was never suggested by anybody that Kaepernick's kneeling might be a breach of his contract.

4. Kaepernick was not denied his pay for matches he'd already played in as a consequence of his kneeling.

Assuming I am correct on the facts, there is, at the very least, a significant difference in degree between that case and this one. Do you claim that anything I say above is wrong?

It also seems relevant here that basically all coverage I saw of Kaepernick's case - from the nearly-exclusively right-wing commentators I follow - was harshly critical of the minority on the right who were calling for him to be punished. By contrast, I have never seen anyone on the left criticise speech codes or corporate censorship. I do not think it is reasonable to try to draw an equivalence between the right and left on these issues by comparing the positions of a minority on the right, heavily criticised by other right-wingers, with the position of an unchallenged hegemony on the left. There is a real asymmetry here, both in terms of what the majority position of each coalition is and the extent to which they actually punish the speech they disfavour in practice.
Whatever happened to QuarkXPress? I remember seeing it all over the place and it was the de facto standard in desktop publishing for quite awhile in the 90s, but then it just sorta... disappeared. Do you know of anywhere I could find a good technically-aimed history or breakdown of what went wrong?

I like that you want to talk about the danger of tendentious interpretation! I also like that you'd clearly rather skate by on "problematic" than talk about how, as can be seen in the part 2 of the video you linked - the only other video I posted on that account, so should be easy to find! - my callout in the Q&A had to do with RMS's "get saved or fry in hell" contempt for ordinary users who prefer software they can use, and the way that GNU software's typically execrable usability and accessibility militates directly against its appeal to the nontechnical, goal-oriented wider userbase that RMS, in his talk, by turns spoke of wanting to attract, and lavished with contempt.

That was what got my mic cord yanked. That was what the people who thanked me after, were thanking me for saying. I understand why that happened, and I understand why you might not want to talk about it, but don't you think it's a little inconsistent to complain about tendentious interpretations in the same breath in which you utter one?

Things that would get me up in the morning don't want to hire me. I'm too dependent on salary to just say fuck it and dance in a flower field all day. You have to be realistic, not everyone gets to do what they want, especially if they want to get paid as well.

I worked on a Google.org project (my company was the beneficiary), and our time spent with Googlers was their designated paid CSR days (we're not even talking 20% time). They were fully expected to be always-on, taking calls and completing work to deadlines during their "volunteer" hours with us. Their contributions to our project were of very limited value, not through any fault of the individual contributors but just through the fact that they weren't really allowed any headspace to engage with our project.
Agree. Indeed it reads like a parody of (self-obsessed & pretentious) bad writing.
Not sure where you scavenge parts for a z80, I think it's much easier to scavenge parts for PCs. Plus, laptops are way more fixable than you seem to think, with simple soldering. Fans can be kept going for years with grease. External keyboards are ubiquitous. It's strange how people here bang on about RPi when a simple laptop is even more flexible.

And I'm also thinking more of a "repository of knowledge" use, not just simple controllers.

If they weren't, how on Earth would you know? Being anything other than publicly "overwhelmingly supportive of the government" gets you killed.

I believe many Chinese citizens are aware that their situation is not ideal ("oppressed" is probably not quite the right word), because I believe at least some subset of Chinese citizens are not brainwashed morons and any idiot can see what's going on.

If they really had overwhelming support, they wouldn't need to censor so hard. Banning images of Winnie the Pooh demonstrates weakness.
