I've read much of the review processes, and the OSI's position as I understand it, is pretty shameful. They seem happy to just decide they don't need to solve this problem. They seem perfectly happy to let open source businesses die while they hold a position solely beneficial to Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.

I have no particular attachment to the SSPL or it's exact terms, but if the OSI was worthy of the high position they've been granted, they would actually gather up the lawyers behind SSPL, Commons Clause, BSL, etc. and hammer out a solution that was agreeable to all parties.

Open source as a movement will live or die on whether or not either the OSI addresses this issue, or we unseat our caring for the OSI's position.
I'm wondering maybe in the future, we will use these baseN methods to represent any numbers in everyday life? With the data explosion, I think we will have more opportunity to describe really big numbers than today, so we will abandon the usage of decimal eventually, speak and write in this base24 method or some upcoming base128, base1024?

I know there's Mega or Giga that can describe how big the number is in decimal, but they can do better (represent bigger numbers) in the baseN method where N > 10. So will we shift to these methods?
Using react with hooks and typescript and wanted to report I'm happy with it.

The biggest changer to me was TypeScript and DefinitelyTyped covering pretty much every package I end up trying out.

Hooks save a layer of indentation, and in most components, I don't need all the class stuff. In addition I find it harder to manage renders in classes.

Some design decisions, like overextending use of redux-forms can be a pain to back out of. Maintaining typings for these thing break often in my experience. I'm trying to stay away from redux (the data store) in favor of managing stuff through relay mutations.

Nice little comforts like prettier (code formatter) go a long way.

And apparently tslint is being deprecated in favor of eslint (https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint).

Code splitting via React.lazy / dynamic imports working with minimal effort.

The other thing that has helped is webpack's API becoming more stable, editor extensions getting better. I'm getting consistent linting and completion in vim. Stuff is snapping together.

Medium again.

OOP, functional, generic, data-oriented, reactive, whatever. It's all just programming. The mistake is trying to be "pure": different jobs, and different parts of any job, call for different methods. Everything has a place.

> By auto-enrolling everybody and requiring them to opt-out, that’s creating a huge controversy just asking for backlash. And then forcing anyone who makes over $10k to now be required - that’s a strong hand they’re playing.

I assume the logistical reason they're doing it is because they need ad volume for negotiations.

That doesn't make it "right" or even good corporate strategy (although I suppose it might be), but I can see why they'd do such a thing.
Sounds like an opportunity for some of the larger sellers to band together to create larger combined storefronts. Or for someone to open something like a selective/curated version of Etsy for larger sellers and small business.
> Who uses non-Bluetooth mice now?

Almost everyone using a full-size mouse.

There are very few actual Bluetooth mice offered by a major vendor in a full-size format. They're pretty popular in the "laptop mouse" market where the mouse is made uncomfortably small for people who care more about portability than usability, but the majority of full size wireless mice use proprietary RF protocols rather than Bluetooth.

A Logitech G rep once explained it to me, Bluetooth is technically capable of equaling USB mice but a lot of the Bluetooth adapters included in OEM PCs are hot garbage, so reliable performance is hard for them to achieve. That's why their last Bluetooth gaming mouse actually shipped with its own adapter built in to the charging base.

> CouchDB is awesome, full stop.

I really like CouchDB. It is wonderful if you want that kind of DB. However, if you want a relational DB (and there are many, many, many reasons to want one), do not pick CouchDB. It works very poorly as a relational DB.

I have a legacy project that didn't quite understand this point and we have ended up paying the price for a document oriented DB in which it is hard to migrate and where we are constantly having to worry about the bandwidth to the view server. And then all the amazing, wonderful features of couch? We don't use a single one :-P Fail all the way around. However, I still like it and instead of retiring it, I've been slowly trying to start using the features that make it awesome, while mitigating some of the problems that have piled up over the years.

No, but this whole "will I see a supernova in my lifetime" thing is very entertaining, until you go to massive unexpected gamma ray events: Its not the one you "see", its the one you don't see but coming our way from some event a long time ago (I am led to believe these things actually bleed out a bit, so the whole 'be along the axis the two spikes come out at, be very specific about when in the life of the GRB, this condition, that condition' make it all pretty unlikely)

Similar to how I'd interview someone who is smarter than me in my area of expertise.

Try to flip the roles. Treat the applicant like a consultant/mentor. Tell them about actual problems that you need solved. See how they solve them or improve on your solution. Compare between different applicants.

You'll want to look for clarity in their solution. Someone who overcomplicates their solution is probably bullshitting you. Someone who slows down and explains everything clearly probably understands what they're talking about. Like someone who says, "I would implement ABC here" and doesn't explain the advantages and disadvantages of ABC likely has weak knowledge.

With some of the smarter people I've worked with, they make no assumptions, and establish terms. "Are you familiar with ABC? No? Well, you know A? A is flawed for this solution because ___, and so we use ABC instead of A, even though ABC has this disadvantage over A."
Pretty sure that’s exactly the purpose (evolutionarily speaking) of fat. It’s an intermittent store of energy to fill in the gaps between the sporadic meals we evolved eating.

It just makes so much sense that when food is plentiful (peak season) you want to be able to pack on the fat in order to get you through the cold season when food is scarce.

We are seeing a lot of cases that are only being discovered after the patient has had symptoms for some period of time. It seems like a number of these cases have been mild enough that a lot of people would not have even sought care.

The idea that 1/6 cases are "critical" just doesn't align with this reality.

The most energy and carbon efficient way of providing produce is to grow it where it’s easiest to do so and transport it to where there are consumers who want to buy it.

Well it's a good strategy to nudge mass produced high-volume low-margin goods off your marketplace. And the mom-n-pop ones can always opt out.

Equating car wrecks to companies making policy changes to increase their bottom line makes no sense here.

Your argument is effectively everything is OK as long as you’re not told.

The bottom line is that small business and consumers have a responsibility as well.
In this case though, it is to Etsy's advantage if the tracking is inaccurate, and generates a high false positive rate.

I wonder what the data on incorrect tracking is (i.e. Does it lead to more false positives, or false negatives)?

Seems unlikely. Volkswagen has been saying for a long time that the release date for the ID.3 is "Summer 2020". If it gets released in Europe in the summer months (June, July, or August) then they have hit their release date.

There have been rumours that the ID.3 will be released at the end of March, but that seems optimistic and is probably a misinterpretation of being able to spec the vehicles before delivery:

https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-8004807/The...

In the end, the particular release date doesn't matter much. The main thing is that Volkswagen will be producing EVs year after year from now on across the whole group. Volkswagen is the world's biggest car company and they will, unsurprisingly, also be the world's biggest EV producer.

Huh!

> If you’ve made more than 10,000 USD (approximately 7,800 GBP) in sales on Etsy in a 12-month period you’ll benefit most from offsite advertising. So, you’ll be required to participate for the lifetime of your shop and you’ll get a discounted advertising fee.

If you make a living off your Etsy shop then surely you will have more than 10K sales a year. Even if not in the USA, I am originally from Hungary and the minimum yearly wage is 6K USD.

Let's run another calculation. If you are selling at an average price of 20 USD (which can be just a t-shirt) then you only need to sell four things every three days. That's... not a lot.
> This sounds like business the stores wouldn't be getting otherwise (so it's incremental)

Have you ever run a business where the margins don't even reach fifteen percent? Because that is a lot of small businesses. More sales at unsustainable margins are not better than fewer sales.

Software people forgetting that COGS exists is common enough in the VC space but most of the world has an acute understanding of the costs of their supply chain. "Suddenly, we decide when your margin drops by twelve percent and there is no recourse except to fuck off" is bad.
Our company hires a lot. I once asked if we can give people feedback if we don't make an offer, to help them learn.

I was told that this leaves more room for a discrimination suit. While the risk is low, the downside in time, money, and bad PR is significant. There's no upside for the company, except feeling good, in giving honest feedback to a candidate, though. So, strictly no feedback.

This is why we can't have nice things.
Its very possible that I was incorrect. I now realize that my statement was based on something someone told me, and I can't find original sources.

I do continue to believe that the real cases are much higher than the reported cases, though, and many of these unreported cases are the ones with the mildest symptoms. This will continue to skew statistics for some period of time.
Computing antennas are fun
I can't image they're going to negotiate on a per-seller basis though. They're going to negotiate as Etsy, and simply rotate their advertisements through items sold by their sellers. The only realistic reason to force the largest sellers into the program is that those are the sellers already moving a lot of volume, thus they must present the most popular goods which would lead to the greatest profits for Etsy.
I'd be interested to know how much margin they reclaim by owning their own distribution channel. Presumably Steam takes a huge commission, so if GOG is profitable (even if only by $8000), then it costs them nothing to run, so that additional margin might add up to a significant amount.
> The other thing you can do is get expertise in the area.

This seems absurd at first, but it's a good idea in general. If my work involves hiring someone who does X, I should definitely have enough knowledge of X to make decisions on that. It doesn't have to be enough knowledge to implement X myself... but enough to make informed choices.
Freedb is closing it’s service
I just fundamentally disagree with the premise that it’s hard to build an IR.

It’s amazingly easy if you know how to do it and if you avoid overengineering. It takes about 3 months for 1-2 folks on average.

This new IR scaffold appears to be just general enough to handle things that Chris understands well (C compilers) and things Chris just learned about (ML). That’s cool but:

- there are other compilers that have constructs that require a fundamental paradigm shift compared to MLIR. That’s a good thing. Diversity is cool and shit. One example: the insane and wondeful IRs in JSC, which do things that aren’t compatible with MLIR.

- probably for ML it would be fine to just build your own IR. 3 months and 1-2 engineers, assuming they’ve done it before, and you’ll have yourself something purpose built for your larger team to understand, to fit into your coding style, and to surgically attack your particular problem.

On the flip side, I’m happy to see that location tracking is first class. The overall structure of this IR, like other IRs that Chris designed, is quite sensible and it seems like it’s not terrible to hack on. It’s just that it’s too much of an answer to a question nobody should be asking.
"Forced participation if you do more than $10,000 is ridiculous, but I otherwise fail to see what the uproar is about."

Well, the uproar is about the forced participation. If you remove that, then you obviously will fail to see the reason for the uproar.

Sorry to hear that. The obvious lesson is "backup", maybe the less obvious lesson is to pay a bit more for a service that does this for you (or a cloud provider might have that included) and have peace of mind.

For similar reasons I use a cloud backup for home PC files that just syncs it all up. When I was doing it manually it was a once a year affair because: too busy!

Not an utter solution.

I think Etsy is advertising itself and passing the buck to the sellers on its platform.

The ad will mention the seller's products but also say Etsy. So free advertisement for Etsy.

Very underhanded!
Sounds like a good idea in theory, but then you need to reach all the way to the back to access the PCIe card mounted in your optical drive bay.
I'm one of those sellers who is being forced into Etsy's new ad program. It is frustrating and obnoxious, but I can't say it is surprising given the policy changes they've been rolling out the past few months.

It seems to me that online marketplaces like Etsy find their early success by bringing buyers and sellers together and just letting them do their thing, but as the marketplace becomes more established it's relationship with sellers inevitably turns adversarial.

I feel like we need some form of regulation to limit how marketplaces like Etsy can dictate how their sellers conduct business. Amazon has a program that allows "business" customers to place an order and pay the invoice 30 days later. Since Amazon only pays out every 2 weeks, this means I can be made to wait up to 6 weeks to be paid for an order. There is no way to opt out of this and I would be penalized if I refused to ship these orders.
