But Microsoft has not open sourced anything that was making $ for them. Neither windows nor any part of office, or any part of enterprise suite. What Microsoft has open sourced are things where similar stuff was already open source, and Microsoft wouldn't have made much money selling those. e.g, VSCode, tyepscript.

EA also open sources stuff like that. They even have open sourced a java library to be able to write async await style code in java. They off course won't open source money making games, and neither does MSFT.

So I'm a little late here, but I'm interested in you elaborating on "...fundamentally, you don't determine what is self-contained."
Yep. People may not want life to be about selling yourself, but that's the way it is.

Anyone is free to reject it. And that person is likely to live their life without their work being recognized, their ideas being appreciated, or their ingenuity to find the hands of those whom it would benefit.

I wonder how fulfilling that feels?

Even this article misses the root injustice of meritocracy.
Meritocracy is just another way to grant those born with advantages yet more advantages. The most fortunate people in a meritocracy are those born smarter and with greater capacity to learn, or those born into an environment to foster a mental framework that lends itself to success. Meritocracy rewards the fortunate with wealth and success just as much as a system that provides power by default to those born into wealth or beauty (though arguably the recipients of the benefit are more diffuse). The real difference on which to select such a system is not a matter of justice then, it's a matter of which one provides better outcomes. Here, I agree with the article. The merits we select for in our version of "Meritocracy" are a poor proxy measurement for a measured and just leader.

What you describe is like installing in $HOME. It's not unusual - python virtualenv, ruby rbenv, node_modules. This comes with trade off - either system knows where to search or one has to define per project. By FHS entire Linux tree is a project. In Windows... configuration is pain.

> "thought leader" by promoting the UNIX approach

This is a controversial opinion around here, but the UNIX approach/philosophy isn't particularly good. It is merely beloved. The Microsoft approach isn't much better.

A thought leader would actually solve this problem instead of repeating a tired, old and failed non-solution. UNIX sucks. Windows sucks. This circular appeal to nature (UNIX is good because UNIX is good) is getting really old.

> Some brains are neurologically misconfigured

This is almost always symptomatic. There's a fair amount of research on dopamine depletion. Addiction, including but not limited to drug use (e.g. high-fat-high-sugar food, pornography) can show deceases in receptors. Vitamin D3 deficiency can pose a problem. Sedentary behavior. etc.

I'd recommend CBT principles to anyone, research shows they're as effective as prozac. The point is many changes can be implemented before resigning to perpetual medication.

I've been wondering: doesn't CDK depends on CloudFormation, as it basically converts code to CF files? (similar to Troposphere but with more languages supported).

If that's the case,I don't see how CDK stands a chance against Terraform or Pulumi.

And I'm not talking about multi cloud support, but just about the fact that an AWS-managed product, CloudFormation, keeps lagging behind for YEARS for such a core feature of a core AWS service.

Walk up to someone, hold out your hand like you are about to give them something, and then just go limp. Wait forever if you have to until they take it. I bet that's really how they got Socrates to drink the hemlock. This works everywhere every time.

“It was all water under the bridge now.”
Abusing WebRTC to reveal coarse location data in Signal
There's a tendency in political philosophy (and economics) to imagine up some kind implicit or explicit of ordering of events that progress from one point or another, the ordering of which is then used to assert something about justice or the "correct" ordering or way of running of society, though on closer inspection certain of the conditions in the progression (often the earlier ones) never actually existed or did so so ephemerally such that they're not really worth worrying about, or even that all the steps kind-of happened but all at the same time or in a different or chaotically mixed-up order. It's encountered all over the place and big names do it all the time—Locke's Natural Law? Yep, built on exactly that kind of dubious base. It's everywhere in political philosophy and such orderings-as-a-foundation-for-further-reasoning or guidance aren't necessarily wrong or useless, but they're often a sign you've wandered into some weak and/or misleading reasoning.

I have a feeling this is one of those. I'm not sure "society producing some food, but unable to produce any justice until they produce a little more food" is really a thing. Humans were decent at food fairly early, and some version of justice seems absolutely central to the functioning of human communities, so I'm not inclined to believe some kind of leveling-up from "food production" to "justice" is a real thing that ever, meaningfully, happened, and if it's not something that actually happens or has happened it's worth calling into question whether that "hierarchy of needs" is real or whether reality's sufficiently more complex (or even inverted—it may be more that you need some amount of justice to have a society of humans producing food in the first place, even if they're all on the verge of starvation at the "start", whatever that even is) that such a model isn't even useful as any kind of abstract, general guide (which I suspect is the case)
They can also work in tandem. You might be more receptive to therapy and analyzing your feelings when you don't feel like the world is ending. IMO, there's a threshold where antidepressants are necessary. When I lose interest in everything I care about, I don't feel like cooking, everything seems boring, and I have no energy (anhedonia), that's my threshold.

I'd say psilocybin (magic mushrooms). It doesn't cure depression by itself, it just punches you in the face and shows your reality and then you can decide if you want to change something, everything or nothing. It's cheap, it's natural (not that it makes it good, but it's nice that nature provides and it's accessible), it's been proven very safe for the majority of the people (not to be taken with antidepressants or if suffering serious mental issues such as schizophrenia) and it's been used for ages for many purposes and science has been considering it as a very valid treatment for depression for some time now and I can vouch for it.

There are places in the world where this is legal, and you can do it with doctors if so you wish. I didn't go through the official medical route since like many other people, I wasn't entirely convinced that taking pills covering the problem (if anything, I don't buy the "chemical imbalance" theory - I do believe there's one, but that's just the end of the chain and not the cause) combined with several years of therapies was going to be a good idea in my specific case.

Luckily HN is a quite open community and this has been discussed several times so please use the search to read more about it. The book "How to Change Your Mind" by Michael Pollan is a must read if you want to convince yourself and give it a try. I can also recommend r/microdosing and r/psychonauts.

Please do a lot of research before you decide to take this route as the process can be tough but then if you happen to be very deep into depression it's worth looking into.
The puzzles in the Sherlock series have a wide range in complexity. I've tried all of them I think and I ended up gravitating to Mrs Hudson the most but I can see why other people would have other favorites. I like several of the non-Sherlock logic games as well -- someone mentioned Willa's Walk earlier in the thread which is a good one.

There have been a few games showing up on Steam with similar deduction gameplay with more contemporary design styles. (There have actually been a lot of interface improvements to the Sherlock games over the years, but style-wise they basically look the same as they did when they first came to Windows in 1996 or whenever!) HexCells was a decent series (there were three games), though to a EKS/Sherlock veteran, the first game was ridiculously easy. The second and third had some good puzzles in them, but they were all handcrafted rather than procedurally generated. I couldn't figure out why there weren't random puzzles, and then the third game (HexCells Infinite) did have random generation, and it turned out that the answer was: because the random puzzles were garbage. Still, the handcrafted puzzles in the second and third games were nice for a bit, but compared with a game like Sherlock that you can continue playing random puzzles for practically ever, it seems like a bit of a short stick. There were a couple others I found on Steam that were similar, but I mostly get my logical deduction habits on with Mrs Hudson still.

If it's actually abandoned, then there's probably nobody around who can do that.

Otherwise, what's the incentive? And there's always someone who thinks they can milk the title by selling it in a retro bundle or a cheap remastered edition. Of course, these days you don't even need a remake to milk old titles.

I think you're conflating two things.

You shouldn't need to sell yourself to find joy, contentment, fulfillment; those who try are doomed to be miserable.

But, selling yourself is still important; even if your sense of self-worth and etc isn't tied into recognition, it is still something humans crave, and it has societal value. If you are doing anything of value to others, the only way it can achieve that value is by letting those who would value it know it exists. That's called "selling". Without it, what you've done has no value outside of yourself.

That's not to say (to your point) that something done just for yourself is without some sort of objective value, but it certainly has no value to society (by definition), and we are social creatures; we all have a desire to have at least some of our work be valued by others.

What Is the Point of Temperature Checks?
why "likelier"? We had invasions and racial mixing like everywhere else in the mediterranean, but that was happening during roman times too.

I'm actually more of a cisalpine gaul than a roman myself, but the beauty of the empire was that it was multi cultural and multi racial.

Said that, Italians absolutely look like romans, this is a small example:

Our language is also the closest to the type of Latin romans spoke during the empire (which itself evolved).

I do not understand why it's even controversial, you're making a dumb point.
As someone who struggles with this on and off, probably more on than off but I dont like to admit that, I find gratitude to be the one thing that makes a huge difference in my life. It fits in nicely and deeply with my religion as well so there's that.

Externally though people think I'm a very happy person. Internally I know its just easy for me to forget or push away the dark thoughts for periods of time, but when I let them surface, they can cause a lot of sadness.

The thing about me is that I am a very logical person. I recognize and find it very easy to deal with the fact that depression is by and large a chemical imbalance. So I often find it very easy to label my current sadness as something caused by lack or excess of chemicals in my brain and that helps me cope a lot with things as well.

I've found depressed people tend to be told a lot to excercise and dont consider it as a solution, but again for me I find it fairly easy to co-relate the low points in my life with a lack of excercise and fresh air. So this tends to again help me push myself out of my low moods.
I agree with you. I don't think the planet can sustain more than about 4B people. As the third world countries get better health care and have better infant mortality, their rates will continue to drop. Additionally, robotics are going to continue to reduce our need for people to do stuff for other people.
LosslessCut, Zoom and an AMA for CS106A
It suggests corn cultivation was a sort of positive shock to the society's population level (as opposed to the more common negative shock of invasion, plague, etc). I wonder how many examples we have in (pre)history of relatively abrupt positive shocks to a human population? Aside from the Baby Boom, of course.
By lowering the barrier of entry of programming further, I wonder if we'll see more bugs (like the price discount) as a result of this?

There are diminishing returns to selling whatever shit you can get your hands on, especially if you're actually good at solving problems.

Conversely, your most marvellous work probably becomes marvellous round about the point it moves from the realm of being perfect inside your own head to actually helping someone else. Whether that happens by means of a full-throttle sales approach and a patent so you can extract every last dollar out of it or is gifted to a world not yet fully ready to appreciate it, it's a lot more marvellous if you've put the effort into sharing it, even if that bit sounds like work.

No it's not. Literally both of the embedded OS' you mentioned (VxWorks/QNX) support Linux as first class hosts.

Apache Drill is an interesting project, from all the MPP engines that appeared a few years ago, it was the most similar one to BigQuery (the first public version) and the most flexible.

However, the competion was fierce and each Big Data vendor (MapR, Cloudera and HortonWorks) was pushing its own solution: Drill, Impala and Hive on Tez. Competion is always a good thing, but it fragmented the user base too much so no clear winner emerged.

At the same time, Spark SQL got sufficiently better to replace these tools in most use cases and Presto (from Facebook) got the traction and the user base that none of these projects had by being vendor agnostic (and its adoption by AWS in Athena and EMR also helped boost its popularity).

By this I meant to include, for example, the Debian team. Of course there can be bugs/oversights, but the same is true of the browser solution. Is there even one instance of malware being distributed through the official channels of a mainstream Linux distro? Not that an in browser JS video editor isn't cool, but I don't see how it would have technical advantages over the various Linux desktop editors.
If you think that they know that they are the power, things look still different. Then the "woke-ness" is just a technique of manipulation and maintaining their power.

Yeah, I guess developers will have to all become data scientists to help train these A.I's to write better code :-) Perhaps there will be a new business model around selling your higher quality code to help train the A.I to be better and better... so we need to label code "good" and "crap" so the A.I. can avoid learning from crappy code :-)

You’re moving the goal posts.
To the extent that you believe that free software development should work such that random people on internet forums dictate the architecture to the people who are doing the work, and instead of writing their software to solve problems that actual users have, they should comply with these whims, you better prepare to be disappointed.

I agree, but that's not sufficient in an open source software supply chain. You also need to inspect the dependencies and you need to do this every time you pull any new versions.
And also, art assets - I've touched on this briefly with an older game from the studio where I work, and basically we could probably release the source code, but since it was a racing game we couldn't release the art assets as they are copyrighted by car manufacturers(or at least it would be a significantly complicated legal problem to not be worth the time).
Extinguish only works if it is a monopoly. Back in the day Microsoft had a monopoly on the PC operating system market and microsoft tried to extinguish the web. Microsoft still has lots of monopolistic practices built into the bootloader. Not sure if driver makers are forced to work only with windows these days but thats definitely the case with hololens.

It would be more interesting for microsoft to take a stance on privacy like apple.

To defend their nest, of course. They don't make prisoners and aim for the face and eyes of anybody trying to steal eggs or owlets.

That’s all true, but I think a Typescript-like system would work really well here. Typescript is very tolerant of the data being different than the type definition, and it doesn’t know or care if your data actually matches the type definition at runtime.

It would be up to the developer to account for different versions of the data when writing out type definitions, and the worst case is that you try to access a property that doesn’t exist or is the wrong type, and it crashes and causes the process to get restarted like what already happens in Erlang.

So it wouldn’t be a guarantee of correctness just like Typescript isn’t, but it could still offer a lot of safety assuming you get the type definition a right.
