Are you sure it's accurate to say the Remarkable uses open source software? Their website says it runs on "Codex — A purposely designed Linux-based operating system for low-latency digital paper displays", so at least the Linux kernel is open source, but look at their EULA: https://support.remarkable.com/hc/en-us/articles/36000028275...

"You are not entitled to modify or distribute the Software."

Doesn't sound like open source software to me.

Also, in this day and age, I believe that devices should be open hardware as well (as the Open Book appears to be). Open source software is a good start, but it isn't good enough.

Another Kindle alternative that is open software + open hardware is the Inkplate 6, I've pre-ordered one: https://www.crowdsupply.com/e-radionica/inkplate-6
My main issue with Adobe XD and I believe this is an issue with Figma as well is the fact that there is no versioning on shared designs. We found ourselves in this situation with Adobe XD a few times where the designs were delivered to the developer and after part of the implementation was done the designer pushed changes which made the implementation look as if it was no longer following the approved UI. I looked at Figma as an alternative but it seems to have the same issue unless this has changed. Can anyone confirm?
>>1. Even though I own the trademark, I'm not selling anything. I wanted to own the trademark to avoid these kind of situation from happening.

I'm not a lawyer, but my layperson's understanding of trademarks is that filing and owning it also bears the responsibility of defending it. When trademark challenges are left unchallenged, the trademark you own becomes more likely to be further impinged on in the future (i.e. you must show a history of maintaining and challenging other claims). This is the flipside of David vs. Goliath horror stories where large companies go after small business owners or individuals -- they're defending their trademark.

In this case, you might be able to argue deliberate trademark tarnishment[1] as a form of trademark dilution[2]; not sure if it will help but worth thinking about legal options now if this bothers you this much.

Not a comment about Figma really, but it has unfortunately become a trigger word for me. These are my observations from working with tech startup companies as a software engineer.

Software solutions will never fix problems that are caused by people.

Sketch, Figma, whatever the next design tool is. Google Docs, Quip, Notion. Trello, Pivotal Tracker, GitHub/ZenHub, Jira. I've gone through tool-switching fatigue with all of the above. Sometimes it doesn't matter much, other times it bogs us down with metawork for months as you figure out which features you gained, and more importantly, lost.

Back to design. I have seen design die the same way every time. Product misuses design resources, effectively making them contractors that hammer out one-off pieces of work. Those pieces of work get nitpicked by some vocal minority holding a lot of clout, until the end result violates the framework that the designer created.

This frustrates everyone over time.

Designers are frustrated because the systems they built are ignored.

Engineers are frustrated because they are adding new debt with every designed feature that has to rebuild parts of the world to make exceptions to systems work.

Product is frustrated because they just don't get why things are slow after they delivered a clear design to the engineers.

Let it all build up and people will start leaving your company.

So yes, use Figma if it suites your company well. If you're reaching for it because your team is frustrated, maybe consider digging into that more before you swap out yet another piece of software for all the wrong reasons.

Ok honest question I got really excited about Nim when I looked into it about 1 year ago.

But I started looking at community projects on Github and found nothing except for Nimlang itself. This is not meant to be critical of what I think is an impressive language...just more of a question of where are Nim open source projects to be found?

The US has the better navy but china has a crap tonne of anti-ship missiles (because of the US having the better navy) and that's before the risk of it going nuclear.

I wonder how far the US would actually go to protect Taiwan, would they risk someone tossing a nuke or the situation getting spectacularly out of hand.

Meditation at its core is a very mundane activity, no more special than taking a shower, going hiking or talking to your therapist.

However, humans love to create mythology or add deep meaning to anything. In doing that, we can turn a simple healthy practice into a load of BS.

That doesn't mean showering doesn't have benefits though.
I personally don’t care about this change (name your branches whatever the fuck you want), but I do care about flawed arguments.

> The terms we pick for our tools matter, and our current default branch name of master is problematic. The word master is too closely related to the word slave

I’ve heard this argument now several times and I’m still confused.

There are several definitions for the word master. The one that seems most appropo for source code management is:

> an original movie, recording, or document from which copies can be made

I don’t see how that one carries any kind of connotation of slavery.

I’ve heard a similar line of reasoning for blacklist/whitelist because “our culture has a connotation of black = bad, white = good” ignoring that that connotation isn’t racial and is cross-cultural. Black sheep are undesirable because you can’t dye their wool. The term blackball is referring to a historical voting practice that had nothing to do with race (and likely where blacklist comes from with whitelist naturally coming many years later).

Can someone please provide a logically valid argument here based on facts? I’m eager to educate myself.
I personally use postlight/mercury-parser[0] to convert articles to Markdown files, a small script to add extracted metadata (like author, featured image, original link, date it was scraped) to the top of a Markdown file, and put those Markdown files within Hugo for a DYI Pocket alternative.

You can use the --format flag to pick between Markdown/text/HTML output, so it should serve your purpose.

I would actually say Quic is worse. In addition to mandatory ordering (like TCP) it also provides you mandatory encryption.

You can not really have "flexible ordering" with default Quic, since Quic Streams are inherently ordered Streams. You could treat them as unordered on one end and deliver out-of-order data as soon as at arrives, but that won't allow the peer to send unordered data due to an overall limited flow control window. Future extensions on QUIC (like the proposed datagram one) might change this.
There's an inherent tension between search and interpretation of terms.

Searching is most valuable when something is hard to find. If it's hard to find, then there's no way around being precise.

Correcting for sloppy queries only works when there are a limited number of things to look for and everyone is looking for one of those.

Making it easy for 90% of people to find 90% of the things they ask is in conflict with the ability for anybody to find the things which aren't easy to find in the first place. Leading, maybe, to those things effectively getting eliminated from the internet.

Existing roads will slowly become populated with light electrics and covered (perhaps seasonally) with no need to deal with exhaust gases. Some businesses will begin to provide indoor parking for the electrics. Some parking garages will be turned over to electrics exclusively. There will be almost no new roads or tunnels. It will be a very inexpensive, organic and practical transition.

> In your quest to unmask me as a filthy article-dodger

> it was a grave error on my part to only talk about the main charge of the article -- which is the only part I had something to say about -- and not the whole domain of implications -- which I have nothing to say about.

That's more the issue, isn't it? You don't have anything to say about the whole domain of implications? Come on. I'm sure you can think of some. I dislike crappy clickbait articles as much as the next person, and I don't deny that this article belabored a point that could have easily been condensed into something much terser and to the point, which is that it's borderline false advertising to use this kind of dark UX pattern with packaging.

Moreover, I disagree that "anything that makes more nutritional food compete easier with packaged food seems like a good thing" when you don't have to look very far into the past to see masses of people killed by famine time [1] and time [2] again. Obesity is surely not aided by lower quality food, but it surely is even less aided by an increasingly sedentary lifestyle that is sweeping much of the world, and no amount of good nutrition will save folks from that.

It might be true that packaged food (and packaged products) becoming lower quality makes "nutritional food compete" more easily with it, but that presupposes that we should accept that packaged products are out to dishonestly swindle us, and that this is just the price of doing business. You notice that "the only thing perishable at my local 7/11 is a mealy saran wrapped apple and it has to somehow compete with all the tastier packaged food" but have you thought about why that is the case? Have you thought about the economic incentives, and all the lobbying that is in place to create continual financial incentives to adulterated packaged food created by a megalith of large corporate lock-in? Do you think that for those who have the means to eat higher quality food, they won't be buying from a 7/11 anyways, and for those who cannot afford that, they're stuck eating increasingly poorer quality trash which doesn't nourish them and slowly starves them?

And the whole domain of implications of that -- again, you have nothing to say there about that? Come on. Whether you think that it's something that's good or bad, something that can or could be stopped or not -- I'm sure you can think of a few.

> That's the most egregious violation of the notion of international law in recent history

There's a reason no country gives much of a second thought to international law. In the end it's purely about the optics and the optics are written by each superpower for whoever cares to listen to them. Case in point:

- Wage an asymmetric proxy war, invade a sovereign country, and annex one of their territories - Not OK.

- Find even a demonstrably false reason to wage declared war, invade a sovereign country, kill and torture combatants and civilians alike during the war and subsequent occupation - OK.

International law is a guideline and every country will interpret their own acts as righteous heroism and other countries' acts as barbaric violations of the law.

> Maybe because there are no IDEs on servers

But IDEs on developer devices can remotely interface with servers, and how many developers ever have physical access to a server rather than using it remotely from a workstation?

As a developer (though not by education a computer scientist), the vast majority of the software I cause to be run on servers is triggered automatically by updates to git repositories, and most of the rest is done via web consoles. Sure, I know how to do more, and that's sometimes even relevant to my work in terms of scripting what happens in CI/CD pipelines, etc., but running software on servers directly isn't really a central job duty.

And for the more pure ops people for whom it is, they are even less likely to have jobs that looks for a CS background.

I don't think you are, and the IPFS ecosystem has already run into this problem. In IPFS, content is addressed by its hash, but different protocols are better suited to different encodings - browsers speak http, which is case insensitive.

And so they've worked out self-describing hashes! https://multiformats.io/multihash/

The basic idea is that you include the name of the algorithm as part of the hash. This allows changing the hash algorithm without breaking backwards compatibility.

It's a cool standard with implementations[0] for many languages. I don't know if it was considered for git, but it does seem likely that this issue will come up again before the end of time :)

Regarding the AI, this is a machine-trained agent. Basically you start of with a bot with zero understanding of how to player poker - it’s presented with the available moves (eg call, check, fold, raise etc) and initially it just picks one at random, and records both the game state and result. So when it first tries to play, it has absolutely no idea what it’s doing any loses badly. However, it learns a little from each game it plays, and gradually, over the course of literally millions more games of poker, it learns how to beat the opposition. It has an awareness of the overall game state, rather than the specific hand it holds and eventually learns that the opposition may fold it it raises, regardless of the cards on the table
