> normal (NKRO) keyboards

My brand new ThinkPad laptop has a keyboard with a pleasant feel, and a high-end GPU for (among other things) a 3D hand-pose human interface. But the keyboard is 2 KRO. :/

After decades of looking, and with screen-comparable AR coming in next year, I kind of expect to move on from the laptop form factor before ever finding one that doesn't feel like an HID facepalm.

>>If you find something that accelerates complex projects, let me know ;-)

I know this was partly joking but there are two real ways:

Knowing your true critical path and proactively re-plan and manage the risk of those activities that sit on it to clear the way for it to run smoothly... that's of course assuming you planned and estimated it correctly in the first place.

If you have a real schedule that is properly resource and risk loaded, run it through a monte carlo sensitivity analysis and see if you can re-plan those highly sensitive activities or de-risk them.
The MySpace vs Facebook example is very old. The modern social media landscape is actually a great example of how the system in the US is broken.

Where is the competition to Facebook? Instagram and Whatsapp were compelling alternatives that achieved traction. The US government allowed Facebook to acquire them, reducing competition, and thus the incumbent's incentive to innovate.

Recently a new competitor achieved traction, with 500M users and over 1B downloads: TikTok. What's different about TikTok? It's from China, and the Chinese government won't let Facebook buy it. (Heck, they won't even let Facebook compete against it in its home market.)

So, American industry may lose much of the social media market to a Chinese competitor, because American regulators have been asleep on the job, and our incumbents are no longer responsive to changes in market demand.

This is how many US industries have become less competitive as a shrinking number of large firms have gobbled up their competitors.

By the way, your comments in this thread seem a bit uncharitable toward those of us who hold opposing views, we are not idiots. No one is advocating that there should be a law requiring firms to hold no more than 5% of the market. I argue that big firms in markets with oligopoly or monopoly characteristics shouldn't be allowed to acquire their competitors willy-nilly, which is in fact pretty much the antitrust law that's on the books today.
So what? She said that they released things that they agreed not to discuss in the first place. Why should she have to say what thise things were? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of asking them not to publish those things?
The problem is that emissions for regions beyond north america, europe/eurasia keep climbing. NA/EU haven't changed much since the 80s. EU has actually shrunk. All other regions keep growing their emissions. China is still fueling itself with coal and is only building more plants.

There used to be an app called Kitt Browser that had ported some of the Chrome extension APIs to an iOS browser. It was acquired by Eyeo to make Adblock Browser for iOS.

Some resources relating to it are still online [1, 2] and Adblock Browser, which is derived from Kitt Browser, is open source [3, 4].

It would be cool if someone could make something out of it.

I think one trend not to be ignored is the democratization of media piracy. It used to be that only the motivated and tech savvy had access to vast troves of content at their disposal; but recently sharing the spoils has become easier and easier thanks to Plex and the general improvement in software dedicated to piracy.

Now, and I suspect, increasingly, the "technology adoption curve" comes into effect: almost everyone knows someone that has access to a Plex server. As the adoption curve progresses, it will put pressure on price and convenience for access to media. The companies that dont piss poeple off will last the longest.

It's hard for a library to portably know when the C stack will exhaust or give a concrete estimate that makes sense for documentation purposes.

Firstly, that concept is not exposed at all to standard complaint C code. The standard is vague enough to allow for many possible variations of the program stack abstraction. So you would not be portable, standard C.

Second, the library author doesn't know ahead of time how much stack space you, the caller, have consumed before calling the library. Do you call it deep inside some ui framework with a big stack? With a huge i/o buffer on the stack? They don't know.

Translating all of this into "this is how deeply nested your json can be" is not a sane exercise, at best you can give a machine-specific guess that will vary a bit with your own application's stack needs.

But perhaps one can side-step all of that and get most of the way with an artificial, arbitrary-constant runtime depth check that is safely below likely actual stack limits.
The justice system is part of the system. You choose not to commit crimes because harsh penalties are a possible consequence.
Interesting results e.g. on Ruby. I did give the javascript test file a whirl and was able to run it just fine with a nesting level of 1,000,000, so I wonder if something else is happening there.

I spent a night in central booking for arson (charges were latter dropped). I got the impression at any given time the people in there are 60% DUI, 30% domestic abuse, 10% everything else. I didn't see anyone being "fucked with". That part must come after indictment if you aren't simply released and given a court date. How big of a difference is it between central and rikers?

I can concede that I am certainly self-entitled and arrogant in many ways, but I fail to see how I am being so here.

This project was built as a fun proof-of-concept. Less than a dozen people used it, and none of them cancelled their other paid services to use it. Also, like I mentioned, it was never profitable and I never made any money off of it.

Also this is coming from a fellow content creator, of many types (music, short videos, random pieces of art). Never once have I thought that anyone owes me anything for it. Unless I'm hired to shoot a video, or design something, I can't think of a more self-entitled and arrogant state of mind to be in, than to expect someone to give me gratitude because I spent time doing something I love. Doing what you love isn't enough self-gratitude for time well spent?

The only real argument that will get people to give money for dedication to an art is the appeal to pity. It's "I am pursuing my dreams and dedicating time to building something I love, I would really appreciate financial support for it so that I can continue to do so". The second the tone switches to, "I am owed gratitude in the form of money for this masterpiece I have created", is the second I will pirate that shit into oblivion.

Imagining that people loved my content so much that some would even go to illegal means to enjoy it, is a compliment to me.

Also, this appeal, is the reason that I pay for most all of the media I consume - music, movies/TV, games, concerts, etc. It is my way of showing appreciation because I can afford to, and choose to.

Having some appreciation that people actually give enough of a shit about the art you create that they'll try to get to it illegally, that's a mindset to strive for. If they pay for it, damn... you're doing good.

Still stealing.

The dude above is freely admitting to grabbing movies wholesale and distributing them in a glib manner. And I’m addressing him, because it’s wrong. I’m the guy on the other end of the economic equation.

End of the day it’s a choice to do the right thing and respect the artists behind the work you enjoy regardless what the “reality” is.
IP infringement isn’t like theft because it doesn’t deprive owners of their property, but it is a lot like trespassing (e.g., sneaking into a concert, movie, or amusement park without paying).

Your “watching a concert through the fence” analogy doesn’t hold up because the experience of illegally copied content is identical to the paid experience.
> “if everybody did it, what would happen”?

People would stop producing content because there's no money in it. So yeah, it's harmful.
You’re bragging about stealing the movies and distributing them.

That’s not cool. Simple.

The cost was huge, but Firefox is much more competitive than it was. Chrome was faster for a pretty long time and was heavily marketed. It was bundled with lots of common utilities on Windows.

Then things got to the point where developers started doing the "IE thing" and only testing with Chrome. Developers were complicit in this because they repeated the same mistakes of the past. It's amazing how just a few years pass and the next wave of developers are oblivious to what came before.

My move to the latest (quantum?) Firefox has been beset by horrific energy use problems on macOS. Those have only just been fixed, but things are much better now. I hope the FF team keep their focus because with Microsoft and Opera giving up on their engines we need Mozilla more than ever.

There is, not publishing anything at all would be worse in terms of transparency. I will agree however that publishing the reasoning would be much better.
> It's entertainment, and so nobody is entitled to access it, ever

You seem to have been indoctrinated by the big media companies, to believe their profit-maximising false narrative. Copyright was designed to terminate, at which point everyone is entitled to the material. Media companies have repeatedly pushed law changes that are purely in their own interest, to extend the original fairly reasonable short terms to what they are today, "forever" for most purposes.

Yes, it wasn't cool of me to cut them off at one sentence. Sorry.

Still though, instead of having a firm scour ALL your data, including things that you may not wish for others to discover, wouldn't it be better to let you choose what you want to be released after your death?

For example, besides marking select files/repositories, and setting my own criteria for releasing them (e.g. 1 year after I haven't logged on), I would have the option to notify specific individuals when my data is released, or even have it automatically posted on places like HN/Reddit/etc.

Other people would then have the choice of what to do with my data.

They could archive it, enshrine it, build upon it, whatever.

I realize that it's a bit like saying that COBOL programmers will never have trouble finding work (probably mostly true) but until Linux is rewritten in Rust and macOS/Xnu is rewritten in Swift, C is going to be essential for anyone who has to work with UNIX-like OS kernels and associated drivers.

I would also argue that C is pretty essential for anyone who wants to use EBPF/IOvisor.
The issue here is that it also shares them with Google, and in many cases shares a history of websites you have visited with other websites.

This is ridiculous. There's a subreddit choosingbeggars that's FILLED with people asking for free art for "publicity". It's insulting to content creators to hear this silly shtick.
> then isn't it true for all of them?

Nobody can alter fate. Cause & effect starts at birth and is metaphorically chained to the present outcome.

> Or are you advocating for lesser sentences for all crime in general?

One thing I'm certain on. The justice system shouldn't label a person a criminal after the rehabilitation. Typically, I think crime needs to be thought of like catching the flu. The outcome is more severe than the flu but the process for treatment should be similar ideology. We have someone that ended up in a bad situation without fault and even though people are socially conditioned to think otherwise. That's something I believe should be changed as well. People should be educated of how they didn't have "real" control over the outcome of their life. Although I think the average person finds it hard to grasp at first.

You mention undiagnosed brain defect and there has been a case where a tumour resulted in a married man having sexual feelings for an underage girl. The feelings were gone once the tumour was removed. The feelings did come back though but same as the tumour and in the same exact spot on the brain. Thought you might find that interesting if you haven't read about it.

Through the history, we've learned that the trial shall be hold at open court. It's not that open court is best to protect the plaintiff/defendant, but it's least harmful way to ensure fair trial.

The history proved countless times that the secret lawsuit filling, followed by the secret court judgement was not gone well.

Even in the world where be judges, prosecutors and lawyers requires years of formal training and qualification, we had and are continuously having so many harmful judgement and only after decades if not centuries later, when complete third parties who doesn't share the outdated moral of that time can have the truly fair view of that event.

Even worse, in the context of OSS community, the people who judge are not lawyer, probably no formal training on law and moral. They are in the current position because they had been contributing the OSS for long time.

So. I think it's best to handle these situation to the traditional court rather than private decision from self-elected OSS chair.

Nope. You need id? Drivers licence or passport. Try getting by without a licence in aus? You need a "proof of age card" which is a driver's licence in every way except does not allow you to drive.

Why is the source code of Google or Facebook not leaked more often? With so many engineers it only take on laptop or one rouge developer to leak it somewhere anonymously.

I know of course there would be serious repercussions for the person doing it, but I just wonder why accident haven't happend more often? Like what is the change with 10000 engineers that not one engineer would be unlucky and have their laptop stolen.

I know that Facebook source code was leaked but that was back in 2007.

Yes Apple App Store earns much more than Google Play Store does, that's not a news and every mobile developer know. But as long as Android exists, I would argue that Apple is not a monopoly[1] (perhaps some would argue duopoly?[2])

Here are a few reasons that will make it hard to convince Anti-trust judges that Apple is a monopoly:

- Apple doesn't control how much mobile apps would charge consumers. It simply provides a proprietary platform for you to reach out to 2 billion potential customers, for that they take 30% commission for distribution and access to their customer pool.

- Apple's platform is proprietary, they invest / build / maintain / distribute for you. You are not obligated to publish your mobile apps on it. You have the freedom to do it on your own (yes, on iDevices that means sideloading, jailbreaking, a web app etc.) or publish on competitor's platform (Android / Samsung / Huawei / Xiaomi / Kindle etc.) It's just so happened that Apple's devices are popular (2 billions of them) and you have much better upshot to make money if you charge customer for your app on App Store, but again, nobody force you to publish on Apple.

- There is no reason to believe that because Apple's devices are so popular (or in your words, dominant in terms of mobile app revenue) consumers are forced to pay higher price for mobile apps. Again, choices are there. There are tons of Android users out there, in fact, more than 3x of Android devices are there on the market.[3]

Lastly, have you wonder why Apple earns double what Google makes in being mobile app platform? If you want a premium product, a more unified user experience, focus more on security (make money on hardware instead of harvesting personal data and sell it to advertisers), perhaps you could earn much more margins but selling much less units and still getting rich? That's exactly what Apple did. Granted, they got greedy by jacking up the price even more on iPhone X/XR, market responded negatively. So they corrected themselves a little bit (got rid off the lady who sell luxury goods rather than consumer electronics.) And they diversify.

Double predestination, or the double decree, is the doctrine that God actively reprobates, or decrees damnation of some, as well as salvation for those whom he has elected.

To answer your question, yes and I think society needs to change for the better from awareness to what you wrote. Similar how we used to think the world was flat, acknowledgement brings progress and advancement for humanity.
> Science and literature alike are readers of the world. And, sooner or later, both lead us to the unreadable, the boundary at which the unintelligible begins.

I wonder, would it be redundant to include history with these two and make it a trio? If the case being made is that science and literature are both reflective of society in a way that continues to fascinate the mind and inform future generations for time immemorial, is history as a subject or practice somehow precluded from individual consideration because it is a subset of literature? As the article notes, it is not only non-fiction, but fiction like prose, poetry and epics that have proven themselves to be an indelible mark of culture and the force of ideas and imagination.

History, at least in my opinion, is different enough from these kinds of works in both its value and its standards of research and veracity that it merits consideration. After all, history has proven that it often repeats itself and, in a way, history represents the results of these indefatigable undulations caused by, or recorded in science and literature. It is a series of guideposts in a sense, serving as records of massive success and massive failure and charting out exactly why and how it came to be this way.
Much of this seems like good advice. This definitely seems like the way you'd have to think to pull off something like this reliably with a strong enough attacker on your heels.

It's amusing to think of what happens if you follow this too far though. Essentially you're putting on a mask that is as uncorrelated with yourself as possible. But if your intent is to publish something, that seems contradictory to some extent. Can't use your own point of view, can't use your own expertise, can't use your daily experiences or any information specific to yourself. The only sense you'd be publishing a blog would be mechanically. Anything you actually intended to say would be lost in the white noise of everything you must say in order to stay hidden.
