Thank you! This is basically a prototype I put together over the last few weeks because I posted the old version (https://nopaint.org.jas.life) on my TikTok and kids really loved it!
There are two errors here.

First, there's the error of the false dichotomy that the only two options that exist are van Smoorenburg rc and systemd. That's certainly not true for FreeBSD, which is the headlined topic, and not true on Linux operating systems, either. The Uselessd Guy famously called this false dichotomy out years ago. Moreover, in the Debian Hoo-Hah the choice was primarily amongst OpenRC, Upstart, and systemd; van Smoorenburc rc was acknowledged by all as not even in the running in practical terms, even though it formally was.

Second, FreeBSD has Mewburn rc, and one really cannot apply the same critique to it as to the van Smoorenburg rc for Minix+Linux, in discussions pro or discusssions con. The scripts are vastly different in structure. (Ironically, it is little known that Debian people have local modifications to van Smoorenburg rc, from 2014 back in the time of the Hoo-Hah, that make huge changes to van Smoorenburg rc scripts on Debian, making them structured much more along the lines of how Mewburn rc and OpenRC structure rc scripts.) In Mewburn rc, scripts actually do not mostly consist of generic boilerplate. The generic parts are not in the scripts in the first place, but in a common shell script function library.
That doesn't say much about the volume.

Most of my packages from Amazon will have just one item in it but when I go to a store, like walmart, I will more often than not have a cart of multiple items I am buying.

I am not saying I represent everyone, but rather, it is hard to compare the two without knowing more data.

IIRC, Amazon's total revenue is less than 300 billion while Walmarts is over 500 billion.
I'm a white British guy living in the Netherlands. I'll never forget shortly after moving here, I was sat in the garden with our Dutch neighbours and my Dutch girlfriend, and the man started complaining about "immigrants" and all the problems they brought to the Netherlands. My girlfriend said "you know Dave is an immigrant?" and he just waved it away, "Not you, you're not like them". Obviously he wasn't talking about well behaved white guys like me with his sweeping generalization, he meant the brown skinned guys.

White privilege is very much a thing in the Netherlands. Even if someone knows you're not Dutch, as long as you look northern European it's fine. If you look like Zwarte Piet though, well, many Dutchies would much rather you went back to where you came from. Except when it's time to bring presents to the white Dutch kids. Then we love those adorable blackfaces!

Actually things are changing in the Netherlands, some of it for the better, but there's still a significant, stubbornly racist population here. Much more than you'd think when hearing about "tolerant Netherlands" from outside.
Editorializing the perception of racism. Is this what an election is worth?

It's not like I'm going to just let corporations or even the arm chair pundits of a twitter doxxing pogrom force its religious incantations on me.

You tell me to praise Jesus, and I'll worship Satan every time.

If Jesus actually cared about who I offer my personal sacrifice to, he would reveal himself to me in the most obvious of ways.

I'll adopt silence as my preferred method of sadism and sociopathy, if that's how you choose interpret it.
> while some psychiatrists consider that to be clinically real, the majority don't

Given its inclusion in the DSM-5, I would venture to say that the opposite is true - that the majority (or at least, the majority of the more prominent psychiatrists) do believe it is a real condition.
This is really brilliant! Reminds me of my time traveling in those cities.

Want to add that they really need to revamp their note entry process, which is very unpleasant and inefficient, and necessarily involves a lot of backtracking and redundancy. I hope this is included in the next version.

The calculations are for universes as a whole regardless of the number or nature of any objects within them. If you care, just follow along with the calculations assuming that any universe has just one star in it. There's no difference in the calculations due to actual quantities because everything cancels out, which is rather the point.

Two parts of this short and powerful piece really leapt out at me:

> all under the auspices of a hard line Republican administration

> Washington under any administration will have no choice but to bail out all the state and local agencies and every insolvent pension scheme wholesale

There are underlying problems being forced to the surface by COVID that go deeper than political parties. Somewhere between the 1970s and 2000s American politicians as a class (and possibly a supermajority of voters too) have accepted that running up debt literally does not matter.

The economy is brutal. It is a fabricated social concept built on trust right up until the moment it breaks out into the physical world and things that desperately need to happen stop happening because it doesn't make any economic sense.

The persistent bailouts are making losers of people who make good long term decisions. Sooner or later, nobody will be left who makes good long term decisions. Such people have been exorcised from the financial industry.
Never had any "fun" with github either.
I have had my account since 2013 and I've just learned about this "trending page" thing. Can anyone explain what's it useful for?
Only someone that has never lived in other countries with serious crime problems could claim that the police here are not providing a service people want.

Almost no one lives in fear of organized crime like the mafia in Italy, PCC, Comando Vermelho or Terceiro Comando in Brazil, the FARC in Colombia, the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico, etc. this list is very very long.

Americans life very safe lives with relatively low crime and this is largely the result of very effective law enforcement. Is it perfect? No. But to claim it isn’t providing a service people want is pure ignorance.

Law enforcement in the US is so effective at stopping crimes that we aren’t even aware of the value they provide.
For a project in python thats normal!
There's no need to use the pointer in there; you could just use an ok bool instead (saving the indirection): https://go2goplay.golang.org/p/4hr8zINfRym

I think it's interesting to observe that using the Result type is really not that much different from using a multiple return value - it's actually worse in some ways because you end up using "Unwrap" which can panic.

>I had no idea Github had a "trending" mechanism.

Sounds like this article doesn't apply to you then.

>Which is what it's supposed to be for.

That's just your opinion. Clearly people have been using github for discovering new software and more. I have found plenty of cool projects through the sites features.
This is absolutely fantastic! I hope there will be a way to adjust video quality. It'd be pretty cool if there were a picture in picture trigger too. https://css-tricks.com/an-introduction-to-the-picture-in-pic...
> DID is indeed recognized in the DSM-5 and fits the OP story

I'm not sure that it fits the OP story, though, at least at is told. As far as I understand, DID would be recognizable to others, it would not be purely perceived as a hallucination by the patient. Even if she were not aware of this, her husband or others around her would have reported behavioral changes, presumably.

Otherwise, I tend to agree with what you are saying.
For starters, it's not owned by a gigagroup
"Whatever the market will bear" requires a healthy market place with a range of options.

Like residential internet in the USA, mobile app stores are not a healthy market place.

If you use iOS, Apple has a monopoly, and there is no scope for any other market places by design.

If you use Android, Google has a monopoly. There is scope for other market places, but Google has a dominant monopoly that is unlikely to go anywhere else.

There are no other mobile appstores of consequence.

There's little reason for the incumbents to reduce their prices, as there is little-to-no scope for any competition that requires it.
>In the scenarios where a user is paying for something that is delivered or executed by the app developer’s infrastructure, digital or not, Apple is a payment gateway, not a publisher. They can either match Stripe or go to Paddle’s rate of 5% because they handle taxes and VAT etc. But either way they are and should act as payment gateway and merchant of record, not publisher.

Your product and associated costs might have changed, but your relationship with Apple hasn't. You aren't paying them for payment processing, you're paying for access to the user base that is magnitudes bigger than when the App Store launched.
There's tons of extreme left wing content out there too, Google never seems to care about that.

I think the problem is that the left cancels, the right doesn't. So it's always the left attacking and it's always the right being attacked, but never attacking back. Doesn't seem stable or sustainable: this is how countries end up being taken over by communist revolutions run by extreme minorities.
Ok, let's take another angle on this. The fundamental difference between software and most other engineering domains is that software doesn't involve physical matter (at least directly). The standards and design patterns in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, etc are driven by physical constraints. Whether it be monetary cost for constituent parts, or time cost for delivery, or just the limits of physics in general. Many of these limits are non-existent in software. There is no physical weight to a software object. A poor 10 year can make a million copies of it as easily as a rich software company.

Now there is software that tightly follows specs and standards, and you typically find it in critical systems, such as medical and aerospace. But there are orders of magnitude more software projects than non software engineering projects because they require so little to instantiate. There is almost no barrier to entry with software, and no BOM, and no supply chain.

Perhaps it would help to only call a subset of software projects as "engineering" - that would solve the problem. Not all software needs to be engineered. I don't need to engineer a script that downloads some videos for me or my personal website. And that's not a bad thing.
I know (and agree on the comparison bit), it's just that the whole course of logic just felt so sentimental and incoherent. Very difficult to reason with such ... reasoning, because arguments just fly in and out without warning. Not saying he was implying anything about Palestine.
Counterpoint: languages (and libraries, and frameworks, and platforms) so well-designed that they introduce a "pit of success"[1] such that bad programmers naturally write better code than they would have done otherwise.

For example, what if PHP could somehow detect string-concatenation in SQL queries and instantly `die()` with a beginner-friendly error message explaining to use query parameterisation from the very beginning: tens of billions of dollars of PHP SQL injection vulnerabilities simply never would have happened - and people who were already writing database queries with string-concatenation in VB and Java who gave PHP a try would then be forced to learn about the benefits of parameterisation and they'd then take that improved practice back to their VB and Java projects - a significant net worldwide improvement in code-quality!

I've been writing in TypeScript for about 5 years now - and I'm in-love with its algebraic type system and whenever I switch back to C#/.NET projects it's made me push the limits of what we can do with .NET's type system just so I can have (or at least emulate as closely as possible) the features of TypeScript's type system.

(As for generics - I've wondered "what if every method/function was "generic" insofar as any method's call-site could redefine that method's parameter types and return types? Of course then it comes down to the "structural vs. nominative typing" war... but I'd rather be fighting for a hybrid of the two rather than trying to work-around an poorly-expressive type system.

The EFS/Lambda integration uses EFS Access Points, which allow you to enforce a specific POSIX identity and directory for NFS operations. You can also use IAM policies to require that specific IAM roles/users use a specific access point.

This was the American release; the UK version differs.
I thought the police were largely required to wear body cams plus have dash cams in the US. If that is true then there is no need to share the footage, since law enforcement should already be in possession of recordings of an incident.
It’s javascript in the end so why complicate it more? Less people know typescript, making source less accessible, i.e you first need to understand typescript to understand the code. Also you’ll have several more layers of indirection: compiling, transpiling, bigger toolchain. In the end - why should not the latest javascript be enough?

In the old times javascript was apparently not good enough without jquery - but why add another dependency of similar ilk now that jquery is removed?

I am averse to complicated javascript franken toolchains because they don’t age well. Better to stay vanilla.
I would say that stars are mostly a measure of interest/coolness. The difference to actual people using it can be absurd. The biggest project I maintained had 5k+ stars (which it got by landing on the HN frontpage a few times), but the actual amount of people that tried to use it is in the 10-20 range. On the flipside one of my other projects has a lot more users than it has stars.

With all that, stars have basically lost all meaning to me if I'm looking at it as a project outsider, and only have limited meaning as a maintainer.

I have handed in my resignation yesterday, because I'm starting a new job in two weeks. My boss and HR have asked me for exit interviews and both told me, that I should give them plenty of "honest feedback" and that this feedback would stay between us. How honest should I be?
What flaws of the left are being exploited here? I genuinely don't see that (and I'm also viewing this catastrophe from afar).

What I've seen is that since 2016 the left has gone into some sort of meltdown state, over Trump and Brexit primarily but now also Coronavirus. With a large helping of obsession with race and gender too.

The right seems mostly weak and timid, constantly being deplatformed, cancelled, threatened and pushed out of institutions all over the place. If there's any exploitation of flaws going on it can't be very effective.

Yeah I plan to add lots of brushes with parameters so that feature can eventually be used to filter down the stochastic brushes and people can make “recipes” for one another to get interested in both painting and programming.
I think there is demand for those things, but commercial entities are poorly equipped to provide them.
The entire growth mindset is antithetical to providing a stable and consistent product. Product tiers get introduced to extract more money though upselling, creating an inherently adversarial relationship between the company and end users who end up with an intentionally crippled product. As the company gets larger, the incentive structure surrounding middle management takes over and completely wrecks the product as individuals compete to game internal metrics. Unnecessary and regressive changes make their way into updates because "product launches" look good on people's resumes. Nobody cares what changes were actually made because they arent incentivised to. Add innevitable attempts at vendor lock-in / weaponization of the sunk cost falacy against customers and it makes perfect sense that most non-crap software (that also remains non-crap as time goes on) seems to be open source.

Maybe we need a patreon style system for providing long term stable funding to important open source projects. I would sleep easier knowing that FOSS developers for packages i use will have stable income and be able to continue their work.

Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Sure, I don't know if I ever worked with jewish people in my life. Reason being, that religion never came up ever.

But as soon as jews don't blend in, either by traditional hair cuts or clothing, or by virtue of being at a synagoge, things are different. We still have enough anti-semitic incidents in Germany to actually be worried. I once worked with a guy who insulted a co-worker behind his back for being a jew (based on the family name, no idea if it's true or not). So yeah, you do get discriminated against if you are a jew. Not the same level as blacks in America, or muslims in India (add other example of extreme racism), but you do.

Only valid for Germany for lack of reevant insight and experience in other countries.
YMMV, but for me it does tend to show interesting projects that I otherwise would not have learned about.

Jira is not bad per se, people use it like a generic CMS, and it also can be one, and that creates problems.
But that's your and the users' only choice for app distribution, unlike on Android where you can make your own "app store" like Epic did. Is it reasonable for all company<->user transactions to be forced through Apple's 30% cut, when the value is primarily driven by a company-hosted backend server, and the user has already paid upwards of $1500 for the device?
One of my parents is a pensioner and their attitude towards money is that "I earned it, and so it's my money," regardless of whether that money is in their accounts or in their monthly check. They really do view all of that money which comes to them as being an entitlement which is already funded, and not part of an ecumenical system of money.

> I have very clear memories of the political battles of the 1980s and 90s when my parents’ generation were in their prime working age. They demanded two contradictory things from government. First, they wanted their taxes reduced dramatically. Second, they wanted all the perks and services they were already receiving.

I can't put it any better. The government, to my parents and collateral relatives (uncles and aunts), is simultaneously evil for taking Social Security taxes from paychecks, and also good for paying out Social Security to them, but they don't register the cognitive dissonance.

> So instead the gap was filled with debt, unrealistic future promises, attrition, and a can that was kicked down the road. Society went way out on the risk curve in search of “growth” that didn’t actually exist anywhere but on paper.

Yep. The idea that Social Security is paying it forward (or paying it backward) is just too tough.

> The meme will be simple and palatable. These were benefits that were earned from years of hard work. These are the deserving recipients of what is due them. That’s completely different from just handing out fake cash to random slackers and wastrels who squander the money on Netflix and Amazon Prime without contributing to society.

I can hear the sarcasm in the author's inflection. And I can also hear its stark effectiveness in my parent's complaints.
Firstly Bitbucket allowed free personal private repos, so many people who did not actually want to use it did for closed source projects.
Bitbucket has generally had the least pleasing UI, and the association with Atlassian sort of corporate feel made it seem uncool to a degree. It just didn't really feel great to use for me. I've used all 3 extensively.

I've transitioned with companies from Github to Gitlab, from Bitbucket to GitHub etc. but never to Bitbucket. In fairness I was using Gitlab during their great outage, so I can say that cool is not always reliable. And coolness fades and dies relatively fast.

But I can't remember Bitbucket ever being cool.
