Yes, this bothers me too. The extra features that Github offers on top of Git are generally referred to as a 'forge' [0].

And talking about forges I hope we will look beyond just Github and consider all of them (gitlab, gitea, sourcehut, gogs, pagure, gitern, etc.) and focus on their interoperability!

Just mentioned in another comment, but ForgeFed [1] could be the solution to achieve this, creating a federation of forges where it doesn't matter which software one prefers.

I never considered the rogue sysadmin perspective but it’s a good point!

I do wonder if some of my misunderstanding is because my experience is mostly SaaS companies, so paying external providers is more “natural” vs a company that makes its money selling units.
While that’s certainly true for the most of us there’s also a risk-reward calculation involved. Imagine if you went there like 20 years before that, and developed the tech and know-how how to survive and operate. You could charge a premium for that.

There’s always those that think “I could be there sooner and dictate the market”.
Mars is a big place and would certainly develop its economy in the long run. Being first is a risky but often lucrative thing.

And finally there are people who want to go there “just because” that can also push progress, the wonderfully weird pioneers that pave the path forwards. Otherwise we’ll always end up with something like the cryogenics xkcd - https://xkcd.com/989/

There were people who said the same thing about going to the Moon.

Ultimately, solving the myriad problems implied by the goal of, "get some men to the moon and then get them back again (alive)," resulted in myriad new technologies and breakthroughs to solve those problems, which were not (and could not have been) foreseen.

I suspect that getting to Mars and back (alive) will require solving just as many unanticipated problems and result in just as many new technologies and breakthroughs the ultimate benefits of which to mankind we cannot predict.

I could be wrong, of course. It could all be the fantasy of some middle age men.

I'm not sure why you're being down-voted, this is entirely a viable exercise in economic disruption (whether intentional or not). You can definitely get at least 1 in 1000 to plant them (intentionally or unintentionally).

Remember for example the old trick of leaving USBs in company car parks. You can tell people a billion times not to plug random crap into their machines, but you'll find at least one person willing to do so at each company. The problem got so bad that they had to glue the USB ports at some places.

If they are shipping from China, you can likely say they are originating from China. Whether or not it is nefarious is another question altogether. With just a few thousand dollars (to cover shipping) they could cause massive damage.

This actually happens all the time as it happens, people buy random seeds from Amazon (for example) and receive something that should really not be planted in local soil. Without planting them, it can be quite hard for the average person to tell them apart.

I would be more sympathetic to this position if GitHub allowed user-provided domains as CNAMES; and I mean in both directions: redirecting you off github.com to the user's domain name, allowing true federated independence from the centralized platform. Without this feature, the argument is nonsense: you may as well be making the same claim about any other hosting service, as you can almost always pick up your content and put it somewhere... the question is how to update the hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of links to your content once you decide to (or are forced to) migrate :/.

It was dual licensed, and JavaSE license did not apply to embedded devices deployment.

Android is not using OpenJDK as such, that is Google's marketing.

What Google is doing is cherry picking code from OpenJDK and adapting it to Android.

What they care about is keeping Kotlin's FFI to Java libraries relevant.

In Android 11 there are a couple of Java APIs all the way to 13, that they again cherry picked from.

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2020/07/11-weeks-o...

It is quite easy to track from their Gerrit which stuff gets copied from OpenJDK and what keeps being ignored.

They always end their Java update announcements asking for what APIs are relevant, while for anyone else it is clear that only 100% matters.

And we aren't even getting into language features or JVM bytecodes that don't have parity with ART ones.

Android Java is Google's J++.

Also for selling Kotlin they always use Java 7/8 code style when comparing against Kotlin code.

I had no idea, what a bummer.
That is an interesting POV, which i have considered too. But in order to reach Mars / Moon - don't we need resources from earth in order to build ? Resource extraction is energy intensive. It consumes a lot of energy here on earth. How much energy would it require to first build and then transport resources from other planets back to earth etc ? What would be the impact in case during re-entry with resource payload from other planets, a spacecraft propelled by nuclear energy bursts ? What are the other unknowns which we are willing to take for granted ?
First let's put anything there :)
We don't need to colonise Mars first. Luna can act as a perfectly good spring board to test and develop the tools and infrastructure needed to colonise the Red planet. It has a lower gravity well then Earth, meaning that there is a potential to develop new materials and drugs on the surface or in zero g that could benefit Earth.

You’ve sort of blown right past the word “assume” in this expression.

Assumption is what we go on when we have no proof - so, until you have proof, assume incompetence.

Making this initial assumption (effectively giving the benefit of the doubt) does not mean you should stop looking for proof/under lying reasons.

What it does is reduce the dopamine hit you get from being angered/outraged and let’s you think with a clearer head moving forward in your thinking/investigating.

I at no point said “assume incompetence and then stick your head in the sand and pretend all is fine” that’s has its own saying “ignorance is bliss”

It is good to make it clear ahead of elections. Still, every piece of information contains a degree of such dimensions, intentionally or not.
> It’s like the taboo of talking about politics in the office

How would you define "talking about politics"? Does it include talking about government? If so, all of the Snowden leaks are off the table.

What about policy? That seemingly covers universal basic income, entrepreneurship incentives, etc.

News stories about tech companies? Most of those are constantly in the news for enraging the entire political spectrum.

What about government clients, as it also relates to policy? We'd basically never talk about Palantir on here again.

I don't see any way to talk about tech companies, entrepeneurship, (technology) business, philosophy, or most other interesting HN topics without crossing into something that most people consider too political for office conversation.
It's interesting, with time I became much more sensitive to this kind of subtlety. Maybe the industrial output of cheap products wears your brain after a while and you seek rarer but better ways.
An international treaty signed by the US is worthy absolutely nothing. They are retreating from treaties signed years ago such as nuclear weapons control, OMS, ALCA, the treaty with Iran, etc, with no consequences.

>Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. That destroys the curiosity this site exists for.

I don't understand how those two sentences are related. I've never heard a political or ideological battle explained as being "curiosity destroying".
I totally agree. I tell this to my friends too. Not every forum and platform is to argue about politics. There are some people who do not concern themselves with these issues. Some such people continue working on what they love. Not everyone needs to be dragged into the pit of political mudslinging. HN should talk about FOSS, privacy and anything tech activism.
Right, the abstinence-only approach. Which worked exactly as well as you'd expect.

Isn’t Laravel the worst performing framework out there right now, like even Rails looks like a viable option in terms of speed?
Very true and the search engines are to be blamed as well.

Recently, I was searching for a Git - fork project (i.e. a project forked from git itself) which allowed separate machine based accounts for Git branches. It was quite famous, I had used it about 4 years back and I don't remember its name now.

Now, this is the worst case scenario for the search engines -

• 'git fork project' would bring numerous github forked projects.

• 'git original source' would bring the mirror of git in github, but then again there are hundreds of fork.

After, lot of time spent on this in vain, I gave up.

UPDATE:
While writing this comment I remembered the USP of that project was 'Branch specific permissions', so I gave a fresh attempt at finding it and I did via SO! It's Gitolite[1].

Yeah information <=> energy. Change of state is equivalent mathematically to movement in a "dimension." Action in physics is energy times time. Really just a way to measure the total number of absolute changes that have occurred. All energy causes change, it is all linked to entropy and information, it is likely zero in total...

I see them very related. Two people can have passionate tech discussion, but a political one can create rift and affect genuine discussions. It's subjective, but I don't find it untenable.
Are tabs vs spaces ideological battle?
The assumptions are incorrect. Medical associations may influence supplies to some degree but they don't set the price. Supply, demand, and what the market may bear do. There are also really several different healthcare systems. The government can set say VA rates and medicare to some degree. The sort of balancing done is encouraging more family doctors.

Radiology and anesthesiology are also two "cash cows" of procedures. All of internal medicine wants radiology for tests and needs anesthesiologists if surgical remedies are required.

Primary care pays less because it requires less additional training than the specialties. Although some specialties aren't higher - Children's Oncology for instance.
HN is focussed mainly on technology ideology, not a political one strictly.

I mean, we are already in sci-fi territory here, but it seems inevitable that industry and mining will be pushed off-world, no matter what the short-term ecological costs are. Natural resources on Earth are infinitesimally small compared to the vastness of the universe. It might take a few centuries, or even a millennium, but even on human timescales this isn't really a long time. Consider that the Roman Empire was at its apex 2,000 years ago, and then imagine the world in 4,000 A.D.

> How much energy would it require to first build and then transport resources from other planets back to earth etc ? What would be the impact in case during re-entry with resource payload from other planets, a spacecraft propelled by nuclear energy bursts ? What are the other unknowns which we are willing to take for granted ?

A lot, no doubt, but still probably less than having energy and industrial production on Earth, in the long term.
The causes of inflation are, of course, complex, and there is currently no inflation formula. However its fair to say that the distribution of money does not cause inflation.

Equally lots of people getting govt money does not cause inflation. Even less so since a) its not life-changing amounts and b) it's mostly replacing lost incomes from elsewhere.

The movement of money (aka this thing we call The Economy) is the direct goal of the distribution. We Want people to spend the money - it is precisely why its being distributed.

Again, while inflation is complex, it's fundamentally caused by an imbalance of supply and demand. Ie an oversupply of money coupled with an under supply of what people want to spend that money on.

This happens locally all the time, an over supply of VC money into SF leads to a housing shortage, which causes massive rent inflation.

The US economy (ie the balance of goods and money supply) at a national level is based on consumer consumption of cheap goods. Cheap food (locally produced) and cheap consumer goods (mostly imported - much of it from China) coupled with cheap energy (local / imported). In the US on thing matters - the consumer price - the ultimate _cost_ is not considered.

The current issue for inflation is not the over-supply of money. Its the costs of things like Trade wars, tariffs, and the like. Those costs translate into higher prices at the till (driving up prices to make US products competitive is the exact goal of tarrifs).

Ultimately some inflation would be a good thing. A lot of it is bad.

But I don't think you need to worry. Govt cheques to poor people, will ultimately end up swelling the coffers of VC accounts - which in turn will lead to more money for them to distribute.

Put another way, inflation affects all investments - especially cash - if anything it just increases the appetite for a big score.
Ask HN: Whats the Whiteboard Solution
I'm going to develop a remote tutoring class room application which need a whiteboard.

I searched for a virtual whiteboard solution on the web, and found most of them are web based written in js. Whats more, most of them can only run on desktop, or android,or ios, and few can run on the three.

So I'm puzzled at

1) Is it much difficult to adapt the desktop version to android or ios ?

2) If I choose QT to develep desktop client, flutter( or java & swift) for mobile app, how can I integrate a js whiteboard sdk to the application ?

3) Is it an option to run the js in webview, how about its performence ?

Can anyone give me some advice ?
Mao Kun Map
While I like nuclear tech, we do need to acknowledge the cost and time-to-build problem.

Reactors take so long to build that by the time they are operational, the tech is out-dated. While newer reactors should make a meltdown almost impossible, insuring against it is still quite expensive. This lead to high operational costs.

The biggest enemy of nuclear is economics.
A "political or ideological battle" may not directly destroy curiosity in an ideal world. However, too many people have their politics define who they are and become defensive when challenged.

This can (and frequently does) lead to flame wars and useless discussions, which are directly curiosity destroying. HN is better than most forums at keeping this in check, but that's at least partially because when these discussions get out of hand they get shut down.
To remind yourself of your mortality when being embraced by a loved one serves to amplify the love and gratitude you experience, not to diminish it so that you’re less likely to be bummed when something bad happens. I'm afraid you have misunderstood Stoicism.
Because whenever there's a battle in the comments, it drowns out all the interesting comments and makes it hard for anyone curious about the subject to see the interesting points of view.

As a quick heuristic, if there are more than 150 comments, there's a high probability that it's descended into either an ideological battle, or an obtuse snark-fest over semantics or edge cases.
There's the exact same opportunity for learning when it comes to politics. The difference in discourse on HN is ostensibly the content, but we all know the thing that really separates this from other forums is the quality of the discussion.
I noticed that phenomena but found Brussels actually nice because of that.
