>> It's almost like there's no good representation in the open-source world for the solo developer or small team.

As a solo open source developer who maintains a popular OSS project, this is 100% the case. Sometimes it feels like big corporations are actively working against us. It's almost impossible to get any coverage at all on any kind of media. No matter how much organic growth your project has.

My project has been growing steadily and linearly for almost a decade. Now it has almost 6K stars on GitHub so you'd think that this by itself would draw some attention? Not so.

It's almost impossible to find it on Google search results. Most users find the project through direct word of mouth from other users of the project. We've never received a single consulting contract from any corporation.
Gauge theory but everything is a GRAPH
I had the same thing happen last year, after the Microsoft acquisition. I was migrating my repos to a new github account and it was automatically suspended. No email notice or anything. I guess they saw two different accounts logged in at the same IP and that was enough to trigger it.

I contacted them and explained what I was doing and they reinstated it, but I always thought Github allowed and even encouraged "machine users" and thus multiple accounts.

I was definitely annoyed with their heavy-handed approach and lost trust; they could have emailed me first and given me a warning before just automatically shutting my account down and restricting access, assuming I'm a bad actor.
Thanks for the share from suckless.org. I'm interested to learn about init now :)

Please explain?
Definitely true. The author could have chosen differently and it would have probably led to more constructive comments.

However, I'll also point out that focusing on the snark and ignoring the rest of the article is also a choice made on the part of the commenters.

Given a choice, I personally prefer to take the strongest and most charitable interpretation of someones ideas before choosing to criticize them. At least the discussion is interesting that way...

Is this stuff news to people? Having worked in that segment of industry, yes, that is how things largely work now, and that's largely how they've always worked, even if perhaps there's a bit more consolidation now (market factors do that somewhat automatically, if not always in the same direction).

This may be my relative youth, but I don't really recall people complaining that Akamai or--well, I don't know as good an analog to the modern major cloud providers, but maybe, say, Equinix or Rackspace--handled so much of the internet back in the day.

Cloudflare may have more of a consumer brand presence because they intentionally market that with their free plan, branded error pages (the "Intel Inside" of CDN services), and ancillary services (1.1.1.1 and their phone VPN), but it's not like the internet of yore was some decentralized collaboration of freeholder fiber owners running their little own 1-person ISP cum hosting provider. Maybe in the early, early, more academic and hobbyist days, but I don't think it's surprising that those were more of an anomalous landscape after the internet's birth than the norm.

> You can also turn on 'Show Path Bar' and get a breadcrumb-style control.

a.) Why is it not on by default?

b.) I want to type in a full path in one go, not click on individual segments of one - maybe that's not really common but I tend to memorize my FS structure.

> There's a shortcut, cmd-shift-G, listed on that menu item.

Am aware of the shortcut, it's not quite the same, it's an extra step you have to do vs not having to do, but it's probably just a "getting used to thing".

> You can tile two finder windows side-by-side.

That's like saying in a browser without tabs you can just open another window. Sure you can, it takes another second or two to get it the same size, probably won't open in the same directory as the old one, the other one will loose focus as you interact with the other etc.

Fair. Linux had it for 2 decades, I still remember the WWDC keynote where they announced it, which is probably why in my mind it was more recent.

In aviation, by definition gliding is unpowered flight, like coasting in a car. If you're doing performance calculations, there are different equations for gliding and powered flight.
I've had my body fall asleep while my mind was awake before, but not the opposite. It's a very odd sensation feeling your body snore of it's own accord, with your breathing rate slowing down, hearing sounds in the environment. This happened a couple of times while I was trying to learn how to move from the waking state into the dreaming state (WILD technique in lucid-dreaming parlance). I managed it once, but it was a lot of work for me (lots of others can do it much easier than I can).
Tesla's not only calling their stuff "autopilot", but also "full self driving", which is probably the wrong way to describe their current implementation.

Its a bit annoying to see people so fixated on the word "autopilot" when its clear that "full self driving" is complete and utter vaporware, a $5000 lie sold by the company.
TikTok is also banned in China.

At that point you're not multiplying x and y to begin with.

So of course you want to avoid error states but a double already has an exponent range well beyond beyond astronomical. The width of the universe is around 10^27, a planck length is around 10^-35, and the limit of the format is ±10^308.
I made a script for expressing similar deployments (ie homepage-en, homepage-de) in a variety of contexts (test, prod) and their permutations in a single, succinct json file.

It's a bash script though.

I live in Chicago so I wanted to see what the hyper-partisan conservative site was for my area. Turns out its the Cook County Record[1]. I obviously haven't done an in depth analysis but it looks conservative in its selection of topics but not "hyper" conservative in that its making aggressive, conservative arguments within the body of the piece. It seems like honest reporting with a right-leaning topic selection.

Personally, I wouldn't read it but its no different (and maybe slightly more civil in its content) than the news I see in my Apple news feed from NBC or the Chicago Tribune.

>Ultimately what matters is incentives, and I do wonder what kind of utopian scheme you could come up designing specifically for that...

It's an interesting question, but it should be worth examining the framing; why do incentives matter so much in the discourse? Is social incentivizing the core (or should it be the core) of an economy? What have incentives looked like in pre-capitalist societies? Were they always monetary, or different for different classes, genders, or other groups of people?

The literature from sociology, anthropology and social psychology in the last twenty years has shed some light on those questions, so I'd also be interested to hear about them. There's a moral dimension too - do we want to create a kind of society where the incentive to work for a great proportion (or perhaps even a majority) is held over their heads by a wage they need to live, or defer to the totalizing administration of the state's welfare policies? Even welfare has transformed; since the 80s there's been a trend toward what's been called "workfare".
Ask HN: How Do We Build a New Economy?
Like many of you I have been dismayed by the over abundance of technology and the lack of overall societal good it has done in our current economy.

We have bought into the lie that is the gig economy. And while many of us within the tech industry are still safe during this grave economic crisis we can’t help but look at the news and see the amount of joblessness and suffering in the world.

How can we use technology to make a new economy where more share in the rewards and how can we break the cycle of having a small wealthy minority control the masses while keeping incentives to build and to prosper?

> 1) Helping to make sure business (specifically bars and restaurants) don't keep closing

I don't disagree with this, but I would like to pose the question: What makes them more valuable (and thus worth saving) than other types of businesses?

The taxation structure is the most likely explanation which show you exactly were priorities are. Officials allowed open a very risky type of business as far as transmission goes (bars) for cash flow.
I really don't think you get the kind of content that got GC in trouble. The subreddit followed the "name and shame" formula (that's way too common on Reddit) of posting "cringe" pictures/articles/screengrabs of trans men and women and then then insulting, shaming, misgendering, and otherwise making fun of them.

GC wasn't some Socratic circle discussing the intricate nuances of sex and gender and happened to hold the "wrong" opinion. It was a group of bullies who had it out for trans men and women.
This is neat. Vetting dependencies is an essential yet understated task, and there are simply no existent tools on the market. I started creating a similar tool on the side (by starting I mean I just bought a domain name ;-) depvet.io)

Here are some random ideas I've been thinking about, maybe some of it would be useful to you:

Possible monetization strategies:

You mentioned "paid promotion of packages" as a way to monetize, what I had in mind is a bit different: on-premise installation. You provide tools to scan an entire Github org then build your UI based on that. Besides vetting, there are plenty of features you could add:

- Blocklists: it is common for companies to have a list of packages you cannot use. It could be based on a number of criteria like authors, licenses, collaborators, etc. We have one in Confluence and I always forget to look it up.

- Commenting/Rating: When looking at a dependency, I usually do a Github search to find other teams that use it and ask them about their experience. Sometimes there are specific caveats that you can't find online; sometimes, we already have a fork that we need to use instead. A tool where I can see all projects using a particular package, internal comments, rating, and maybe even integration code samples would certainly be welcome.

- Security vulnerabilities: While there are plenty of startups in this area, most of them appeal to the security org and not the engineers. If you integrate the security component into the vetting process, I think you can touch a bigger audience.

- Fork maintenance: forks are a pain to maintain and keep up to date. Sometimes you forget why you had a fork in the first place. I'm not entirely sure how this would look like, but I think it's worth exploring.

Challenges:

- Github has been doing an excellent job recently. Building all this out is way simpler for them since they own the source data. Don't be surprised if they take you out of business by implementing similar features. Have a backup plan for when (not if) this happens.

- Github API rate limits: 5000 requests per hour is not much, it may be enough for one language, but you eventually have to add more. If you were thinking of using the user's OAuth tokens, plan on having a robust security practice, because it will be scrutinized.

- The single most important metric, in my opinion, is not present in your tool: The total number of dependencies. The flaws in direct dependencies are just as bad as flaws in indirect ones, and while I can quickly look at the package.json to determine the first level, there is no simple way to see/vet all transitive dependencies.

I wish you the best of luck and I think you have something here, but I suggest spending some time on your monetization strategy before you go any further.
Yeah sorry I guess that article is a bit confused - the first sentence is good IMO:

an informal learning that advocates learner-chosen
activities as a primary means for learning.

The salient point is that kids want to learn on their own & you should try to see what interests them and direct them to productive ways to learn more/support them instead of selecting the subjects for them. The free schools I know do not have a fixed curriculum but provide various classes that the kids can elect from. The teachers are also open to suggestions and ask the kids what they want to learn/do.

They have no grades & all kids (generally grades 1 to 6) are together in mixed-aged groups. There are also far fewer kids per adult but that may just be a function of these being private schools.

So there is no requirement to do that at home but I guess that is the most common form in the Anglophone countries (in German speaking ones it's the other way around).
> the_Donald was already long-defunct and had migrated to another platform. The Right got to keep its safe spaces.

This is a patently false spin that reveals your obvious bias. Even the most pedestrian research would reveal this sub was pushed out of reddit by the admins and so they set up an alternate forum.

I'm always amazed at how people feel the need to push their ideological agenda instead of calling a spade a spade.
The man on the Clapham omnibus [1] thinks aeroplane autopilot pretty much flies the plane, with the pilot just watching. That's what is relevant to Tesla's marketing material, and they are surely fully aware of this.

This is really interesting. I looked at where I lived and there weren't any but in neighboring Illinois there are a number that are all ran by the same group. I looked at two of them and they seem to basically be churning out the same types of stories: republican candidates good, democratic candidates bad. There was no analysis or insight into the stories. They are basically content farms churning out stories in the hope that they will influence elections.
The one liberal site I saw was one I had heard of and while it may have progressive politics, it covers the state and has actual current event coverage rather than being a cheerleader for the democratic party.
It's always worth noting that k8s isn't designed to give outsiders the power of Borg the way Google SREs have the power of Borg.

it's designed to give outsiders something better, based on learned experience of where the toil and cocked-foot-guns are working with Borg. Borg is, by modern standards, extremely legacy infrastructure and even Google is trying to replace it with something better internally.
The nickel then becomes the new penny.

This propaganda is part of the inflationary process, which is intended to increase economic velocity at or faster than the rate of savings, at the expense of savings.

Soon, a dollar will be thought of the way we think of a quarter, and the quarter will become the new dime. Decent family homes will cost north of $2.5MM, and people will say, “back when I was a kid...”.
Maybe the left would pay more attention if this was phrased as a worker's rights issue.

But I doubt they will care until a conservative employer fires someone for tweeting support for a progressive belief.
So the minimum you can pay for something is $0.50?

That kind of stinks... individual fruits and other produce currently cost less than $0.50. I think $0.10 should be the minimum because then you can just drop the hundredths digit and prices will be, i.e. "$3.2", "$99.9", etc.
UL started that way: insurers grew tired of exploding steam boilers and asked their owners to have their boilers inspected and only insured owners who adhered to safety rules. I'd imagine insurance companies would hold the providers to some security standard.

In your neighbouring country Germany some of the entries for our 8th grade group reading and analysis project were:

- book about an anorexic girl (which IIRC was assigned by the lottery to the recovering anorexic girl in my class)

- book about a teenage boy falling in love with a drug-addicted girl and falling down into that swamp as well (names "Einbahnstraße" => "one-way street")

- some other books about adipositas and fat kids/teenagers hating themselves for being fat (IIRC some even contemplating suicide)

+ a bunch of other books in the same vein

Needless to say that was a very fun few weeks while presenting the books and their analyses...
Does anyone know of a good presentation system that does not consist of compressing raw pixels and sending that to the audience? It's a huge waste of bandwidth that I'd rather see used to provide reliable low-latency audio.

I'd love to be able to teach programming in a way that lets the students explore the live state of my working directory and follow along with file edits, but rendered locally on their machines at native resolution and with at least some degree of interactivity. Most collaborative editors I'm aware of are ill-suited for code, or don't seem to work well for more than one file at a time. Ideally, I'd like students to be able to open a read-only view of my entire IDE workspace, but exporting it over a network filesystem isn't quite live enough even with a short auto-save interval.

I don't care about Wiess specifically - I care, as most here, about the cancer of Cancel Culture.
There's plenty of native DB Admin UI's around, JetBrains Data Grip is my personal favorite.

Some advantages of this is that it's highly customizable where you could quickly create a customizable queryable UI around multiple existing RDBMS's that's transparently upgradable, i.e. the latest version is downloaded/run each time it's launched.
> I hesitated before upvoting the OP, and even considered flagging it, given its controversial author (with whom I disagree) and its potential to fuel ideologically driven, opinionated arguments (in which no one wins and everyone loses). However, I decided to upvote the OP because I feel it is, in the end, about a topic that is of utmost interest of -- and widely considered important by -- most people on HN: free speech.

There's another reason: because it directly impacts technology and the companies that many of us work with. This is a Silicon Valley news blog, at the end of the day, and it's unavoidable how Twitter, Facebook, Google and such have entered the debate. They're inextricable from the debate.

This controversy around cancel culture really could not TRULY exist without the ease with which you can search a history, stick a video on someone with a phone, or to expand on this a bit, use algorithms to target people with headlines and track how viral a headline got.
Where do you draw the line? Scott Adams put up a photo of his wedding on Twitter yesterday and people made mean comments about his sexual preference and choice to marry a woman 30 years younger than him. Should twitter classify that as ageism?
I think it would be hard to designate deaths so differently that we couldn't draw some insight from those graphs, but in case they are designated that differently, the only thing we can do is to keep an eye on excess deaths for Sweden and its neighbors, and see if Sweden has a consistency lower excess death proportion over the next several months.
One of the interesting things about the 80-bit format was that allowed the use of 64-bit integers on a 16 or 32-bit machine. This was what Thomas Nicely was using them for when he found the Pentium FDIV bug: https://faculty.lynchburg.edu/~nicely/pentbug/pentbug.html
Another huge difference: the current FSD feature set will not make turns at intersections as demonstrated in this video. It now (as of recently) can be configured to automatically stop at appropriate traffic signage (stop signs, red/yellow lights, not sure about yields). However, it won't make a left or right turn.

Some caveats: sometimes it will still want to stop at a green light, in my experience, and requires a manual override; and, if you're the foremost car in your lane at a traffic light, it won't begin moving on its own. I assume the same is true for stop signs.

I guess that video is intended to be a preview of what the current software could do with all the driver interaction safety switches off (no required hands on wheel, no requirement to confirm safety through intersections/turns, etc) and all the internal feature flags turned on (particularly: enabling turns and enabling Navigate on Autopilot on non-freeways).
That marketing was not misleading, it was and still is a lie. They have upgraded the hardware at least 3 times already.

The first time this lie might have been just sheer incompetence. But after three upgrades, I can only assume that the lie is malicious and negligent.

Musk has been claiming that his "fleet" of 10,000 robotaxis will arrive next year for a couple of years already. I mean, he is going to be right eventually.

But Tesla's competition, e.g., NVIDIA et al., are claiming that for full-self driving we'll at least need hardware with an order of magnitude more TOPs than what the current generation provides, and that we won't see that hardware before 2022-2023. They are also not promising that this hardware will suffice, only that they are pretty sure that it cannot be done without it.

I'm skeptical of Tesla's claims to say the least, but I guess we'll see. Statistically speaking, Musk predictions about when we are going to see full-self driving have been 100% wrong to date.
