That's not it. Adobe CC is an example of simply software with a subscription model. Or lots of other perpetual software that is complex and requires a support subscription.

SaaS is a lot different than that. SaaS runs on someone else's computer, with all the plusses and minuses that brings.

I kinda understand the point. However at what point one can call himself a "good prolific programmer" which has no time for "hand-holding", can judge if contribution is sincere attempt by some thirteen year old who wants to learn or just being done for CV.

One can argue that every kid with their "low quality patch" is net-negative as their teacher/project maintainer would be better spending time writing actual "good" code.

At what point one just starts sounding like elitist thinking that open source should just be left for exclusive prolific programmers?

That seems to help, but I still don't see a difference with/without a Chrome UA.
The Japanese electronic tax filing system's browser support policy is to support browsers that come preinstalled with the OS, period, actual marketshare be damned. This makes them support IE, Edge and Safari, but not Chrome nor Firefox. (While some newer parts of the system do support them, most of the critical parts still do not. Additionally, since the system still only supports the EdgeHTML Edge, the Chromium Edge automatic rollout is delayed to April specifically for Japan, to avoid confusion during the February-March tax filing season.)

The only way to make them stop supporting IE is to have the OS itself stop bundling it - which, like it was mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, is probably never going to happen.
Amazing! Thank you so much for this. I am getting myself an A3 diagram of my hometown.

The idea isn't that excluding noobs is good. But that noobs are coming in not because they want to contribute, but because they want to pad their resume. In doing so, they have diluted the pool in a way that they will not even be padding their resume.

Sounds like weak excuses.

If you are in your mid 30's and you are an established and experienced person in your field of work, finding a new job should be the least of your problems. If you truly cared about the ethics of your work, you would have left your current job already.

When was the last time you had an interview with another employer? When was the last time you sent out resumes? When was the last time you networked with people from other companies that you find interesting? When was the last time you reached out to someone at company X for a cup of coffee? Have you considered starting your own business?

You do not remember or you have not done it at all since you started at your current job? Well in that case, there is your problem. You might think that you actually care about ethics but your efforts of trying to find somewhere else to work says otherwise.

I get it. You have probably convinced yourself that you are not doing anything wrong or unethical so you should not feel bad about it. Besides, the job probably pays well and it keeps you and your family fed and gives your family a roof over your heads and that is the most important thing afterall.

That is fine and all but it is still a weak excuse if you truly cared about ethics in your work. Most people do not care if the paycheck is good enough.
Completely ban them [ESA] with no exceptions. It's ludicrous and very illustrative of a very American mindset. Namely to exploit every possible gap in any process or system despite the clarity that you are operating outside the intended scope of it.

I know a woman who flew with her dog as an emotional support animal to assist with her anxiety. Her day job was as an air stewardess.

The attitude is, if they don't stop you, it's not my fault I can exploit the system. You see it everywhere in America. Less so in Europe.

The question is a bit odd if you are human, but let me explain this in short terms.

Modern lifestyle has stripped many of us of essential, real problems. By far not all, of course, but definitely the generally well-paid IT crowd on HN.

So instead of hustling to survive like a maid in 1929 Berlin (I am watching Babylon Berlin right now) what's left over are luxury problems, especially if you're in the double income no kids crowd. What the Internet calls "first world problems" but even less "important". Just pull yourself together after all, right? (the answer is no, this will of course break you, or anyone, in the long run but that's a huge off the rails discussion).

What side project can I have? How can I fill my day with something useful instead of gaming? There is a profound emptiness for some people. The vast majority of jobs aren't as amazing as you are supposed to pretend in interviews. You stop feeling useful and doubt your place in society. Educated, trained but not applied to something that makes sense.

Do I have to feel guilty about gaming because I am not productive after 6pm or should I invest time to develop myself because HN tells me to? After spending 8 exhausting hours at my job that lines someone else's pockets?

This is where your mental game is played after the "real" problems are not a threat anymore. It's hard for struggling hard working people who bust their asses to pay rent to understand. I know because that's been me. I have seen both sides.

Going to bed anxious because some huge bill just arrived. Now I am going to bed thinking: "what am I even here for?"

And I actually enjoy my job. But in the end I am doing something shallow, something useless. Not advancing humanity or something.
And private business if infamous for extracting every possible penny from customers.
In France if, for an average employee, you add the employer and employee contribution to social security, for 40 years, you find that it pays two large houses.

At the same time most average employees will struggle to buy a house.

And the social security will reimburse well only medical costs (visit to family doctors or medical acts done in hospitals). For other costs, hospital care, glasses, dental or hearing costs, it reimburses very little.

So for me France's SS is actually a kind of mandatory way to channel money towards doctors.
How do you make sure the repercussions will fall on the right people?

What tells you they wont just layoff some random people to save some money to pay for the fine?

The problem with companies is you can always shift the blame on someone, on some department, etc...

In the end, the people that made the shitty decisions are rarely held accountable for the mistakes.
Do you feel like you need different terms when you look at sky, at blueberry and lapis lazully? You probably do, but do not need to distinguish them often enough to justify promoting words for them into primary colour words. Similarily its possible to have a situation when there is a single word for green and blue, and people make do with saying "grass grue" and "sky grue" in cases when they need to distinguish between them.
Not just .org moving into private hands is concerning, but the premise that a TLD, which is so widely used, can apparently move into the hands of a for profit is much more concerning to me. What if Verisign decided to sell .com to the highest bidder? Verisign's contract expires in 2024 so they might be able to get rid of price caps too. That would make .com hella valuable.
I think if we had a draft we wouldn't be in all these wars but we also wouldn't have much of an army. Short of an actual attack against the US like pearl harbor I cannot see people actually showing up. When you have millions of draft dodgers out in the open, what can you do? It's impossible to even arrest them all. Wouldn't even be worth trying. I think our military leaders know this. That's why we have no draft and likely why we'll never have one again.

Why for for a country that doesn't even care enough about you to provide you healthcare? Fuck that.
It doesn't matter if improvements are still required, Apple is doing Swift, and Google is doing Kotlin on their mobile OSes, not Rust.

Eric has a personality that is very disagreeable. So he can be hard to listen too at times. He is probably hard to work with. I suspect a lot of his trouble in his scientific career stem from this.

But his disagreeableness also what makes him a good dissenter. The world need people that will say what they believe to be true and important, even if everyone in the crowd don't want to hear it.

The peer review discussion was interesting. Peer review sounds so good in theory. But it really just gate keeping. No wonder controversial or revolutionary ideas don't get through. Better is for some kind of system where peers can have their say after publication.

Some people argue that what we're today are calling ADHD should be referred to as emotional impulsiveness. The argument is that lack of emotional control causes all kinds of symptoms, like inattentiveness or irritability (shocker!). Dr. Russell Barkley makes a compelling argument for it in a number of talk and papers. I highly recommend looking it up, you should be able to find some of his talks on YouTube.

I'm diagnosed with both bipolar disorder 2 (rapid cycling, the one that gives you hypomania) and ADHD (inattentive type). It was a lengthy process to be diagnosed since they are overlapping so much, especially the hypomania part. They are also kind of rarely seen as co-morbid disorders, but apparently it happens and both needs to be properly addressed for anything to have any effect.

(If you're suffering from ADHD or BP2 and feel that you're not seeing that much effect from medication or other treatment it's worth checking out. At least people diagnosed with BP2 and medicated, seeing as the medication usually is very effective.)
Ignore your arm and you won't learn how to use it. It won't go away. You'll just have an arm the is super uncoordinated and weak.

Ignore your emotions and you'll become emotionally immature and a person people won't like to interact with, because your emotions will come up when inappropriate.

The importance of learning to feel and label your emotions is one of the most basic findings in psychology.

I recommend reading about Non-Violent-Communication. It sounds like it is something completely different, but it is a practice for learning to labeling you emotions in different situations, and then being able to react more appropriately.

Even if we ignore the strong ethical, humanitarian, and strategic objections, using torture as a tool to extract information always seemed like the wrong tool for the job. Causing someone distress/pain obviously decreases the chance that they will tell you the information willingly and incentivizes simply making something up to make the torture stop. Instead, modern successful[1] methods of interrogation like the Reid technique[2][3] are designed around incentivizing the desired outcome. Very low (sub-psychadelic) doses of MDMA in a comfortable "social" or "party" setting might be very effective.

I don't know how true the story is, but I once heard an anecdote about this method working during WW2. The Allied soldiers took a German POW out for beers and just chatted with without trying to push any particular subject. Then they made a boasting claim about how German aircraft couldn't keep up with the latest American engineering, causing the POW to respond with an excited objection explaining their new airplane's capabilities (the information they wanted).

[1] Often dangerously successful - the Reid technique in particular is know for a very high rate of false positives. "Of the three hundred and eleven people exonerated through post-conviction DNA testing, more than a quarter had given false confessions"[2]

[3] The Babylon 5 episode "Intersections in Real Time" (S4E18) is almost entirely Sheridan being interrogated with the Reid technique.

It definitely seems like a lot of the time, the people making these lists could just resolve the issues with not a lot more effort than writing all this 'good first issue' documentation.

It's one thing to throw a tag 'good-for-beginners' on a bunch of issues, but the amount of effort going into some of these 'good first issue' things is astonishing compared to how tiny the issues are in the first place.

Lol, no. Takes 20 minutes max.

That said, some companies are selling hyped "network protectors" or whatever. I wouldn't trust them though, they're usually not running FOSS and you don't know what lists they use or how often they're updated or if they collect your data themselves.

Just set up a pihole or ask a friend to do it.
> Civilization was very different centuries ago, but people were not.

Very different civilizations imply very different ethical questions that are relevant. I just say that the global (network) interconnectness brought a huge plethora of new ethical questions that were never relevant in the past - exactly because they were science-fiction at that time. That is why I mentioned science-fiction literature as far more relevant further above in the thread.
The platform has always traditionally been your own computer. You install programs that you find useful, fun, interesting, necessary, etc. When you have an issue with one, you contribute to it.
Not to mention that a big-ass power plant burning gas (or coal or some other fuel) is going to be wildly more efficient than the relatively tiny engine in your car. Economies of scale apply to CO2 output too, so running an electric car on not-green energy is still better than running an ICE car.
