All true! But to invoke a common ground here, most people put up a lenient license in the beginning thinking I will attract some attention and if things pick up I will create a product(or some serious library) out of it, make money, while leaving the core as is. But when it surprises them they are not ready for it(which is pretty much all of us). In fact, if I were to guess the OP would have just dropped the original project if it were not for the pacing provided by the Tailwind CSS team. The thing is for most of us personal projects are a way to express our autonomy where you do what you like and want instead of being constrained by some guy telling what you can do, which tools you can use, what features should go in etc, which is the case with most jobs; this autonomy allows you to walk away from your project any time and when that autonomy is played with by anyone who you did not originally see as an ally it can be upsetting. Tbh, it would be naive to think that OSS is still an altruistic movement, maybe some still go by that, but the commoditisation with GitHub becoming your Resume has only made it a more selfish endeavour.

Actually I agree with you and it doesn’t make sense to rant and pity oneself on the Internet, but I think this is a natural consequence of what is being made of OSS in general.
I have 3 screens. Amount of pixels that show my desktop: 0

I am honestly confused why, years ago, I spent hours searching for the perfect wallpaper on the internet. And why I spent even more hours making my own, 20 years ago.

Nowadays I usually set one I like when I install the machine and maybe change it 1-4 years later. Is this what growing up feels like? :(

I just want Netflix for journalism. I don't want a super expensive sub to a dozen papers. I want one subscription, they all should be included (maybe offer different tiers if you are an arse) and it shouldn't be more than $20/month.

Go.
How do you know it's a good article before you read it, though? Articles aren't (and shouldn't) be produced like movies, video games or books, with marketing budgets and hype.
There was some great discussion on the Show HN for the similar project TinyPilot:

Brexiteers won't be reasoned with and being reasonable is seen as weakness by them.

But that's not true at all. If you asked a Brexiteer, they would say Article 50 could have been invoked the day after the referendum, and instead they spent 2 whole years trying to find an accommodation that would satisfy Remainers too, you can't ask for any more "reasoning with" than that. But Remainers wouldn't budge from the position of ignoring the referendum result completely, they had no regard whatsoever for the wishes of Brexiteers. None at all. We could have had such a soft Brexit that it would have been indistinguishable from remaining, but hardline Remainers made that all but impossible with their intransigence.

Eventually the entire country grew tired of those antics and delivered Boris an 80-seat majority on his single mantra of "get Brexit done". I know this is off-narrative but the Brexiteers bent over backwards to be reasonable.
I wonder if sub-vocal will happen anytime soon, and if it does, I am still not sure how it will solve voice being sub-optimal for some types of text. One example is plain old programming, and needs a fairly elaborate setup. The best example I've been able to find was Tavis Rudd's presentation [1], which seems to be a decent solution.

I have tried to more or less replicate this setup, but found it less satisfactory. Aside from it demanding near-perfect audio quality to work remotely well in general (as well as a heavy time investment, initial and ongoing), you frequently run into edge cases where it just doesn't want to understand something you're saying. After the 5th or 6th mis-transcription of some specific phrase, you tend to just give up and reach for the keyboard, RSI be damned. (And this as a native English-speaker, with a relatively neutral accent.)

I can definitely imagine better fleshed out solutions to either voice recognition for programming, or programming languages whose syntax lends themselves to easier and more productive voice recognition. I could see some definite productivity enhancements if it were achieved.

>> I think in general we pack a concept in a word and lose some information this way, so when you want to be precise with what you are saying you have to bring your definitions with you. Essentially with translation you take a concept and "pack" it in a word, then look for an equivalent packing in different language, then unpack. Naturally, this process is prone to losing information.

This is a plausible description of how humans perform translation, but it does not apply to machine translation, because we have no good way to represent the meaning of a word other than with the word itself. Consequently machine translation systems can't distinguish between different meanings of the same word and instead try to produce a correct translation by relying on frequency-based heuristics: faced with two likely translations of a word, a system will try to determine the context of the word (in terms of its collocation with other words) and then assign to the word the meaning it has in the context that happens to be the most common according to its training dataset. Clearly, that is like "flying blind"; sometimes it will work, sometimes it will fail and there's no way to predict beforehand which.

The comment above gave the "spring" example, my routine example is asking Google Translate to translate Greek "χελιδόνι" (the bird, swallow) to French and getting "avaler" (the verb, to swallow) instead of the correct "hirondelle", again because translation goes from Greek to French via English, introducing ambiguity about the intended meaning of "swallow" that does not exist in either Greek or French. Note that this doesn't happen when the word "χελιδόνι" is used in a sentence (e.g. "ένα το χελιδόνι" translates to "un l'hirondelle", which is ungrammatical and nonsensical but at least gets the right noun), but it's a good test to show that Google Translate is really incapable of recognising the meaning of words and so cannot use such information to make translations. Note that the same goes for machine translation in general, i.e. Google Translate is a state of the art system.

I am just a rudimentary 3D artist. I’ve used Cheetah3D, which is basically a “toy” app, for some branding work; but that’s about the extent of my exposure. I have never used Blender, or AutoDesk.

I know some folks that are a lot more experienced than I am, with 3D modeling, and they all say that Blender is very powerful, but the UX is incomprehensible. At least one of them is MENSA-level smart, so that says a lot.

I’m wondering if Blender is sort of like X11, where people have been declaring the end of the Microsoft/Apple hegemony for decades, or GIMP, where people have been declaring the end of the Adobe hegemony for years.

I will say that I am very impressed with the quality of the 3D work being done, these days. I see works like Worth Enough?[0] (which is actually over a decade old), and believe that 3D art is now every bit as valid as “classic” media. I suspect that the tools are a big reason for that. When oil was added to early media like tempera, the quality of art improved. I think that Blender is used for a lot of this work, so it can’t be that bad.

- What we show: impressions and engagement aggregated + insights for each social media & posts.
- Facebook, Instagram (Posts and Stories), Twitter, YouTube and Blogs (Google Analytics) is supported.
- Agencies and Brands can gather these reports into Campaigns and get aggregated numbers for impressions and engagement.
- While we charge a monthly fee for agencies, Yuzu Metrix is free for influencers.
- There are no additional fees, a limit on Campaigns, and we don't charge a commission.

Herd Immunity:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-italy-...

Italian lockdowns didn't stop COVID - human immune systems did.

This also means for every 1 detected case, there were 46 actual COVID instances in Bergamo.
You are ofcourse entitled to your own opinions. But that does not mean others can't ridicule those opinions. Nor do you have a right to be listened to.
The left does not want people hooked on benefits. Paying benefits is expensive in a socialist society. The left wants workers who are properly compensated in line with the value they provide, and a social safety net for when they are unable to work.

You could say that the leadership of the right is desperate for immigration and to get people on benefits. Immigration gives nativists someone to look down on, making them easier to exploit. Paying sub-poverty-level benefits is cheap and makes the workforce desperate to accept just-about-poverty-level wages. The working class exists in order to frighten the middle class. The underclass exists to frighten the working class.

Also bear in mind that illegal immigrants do not get "hooked on benefits", they get deported or exploited by "economic libertarians".

AWS, Microsoft or Google: Which cloud computing giant will win this war?
There's a reason I described the other narrative as "for the proles" and not "by the proles", you know... and the "truth" side having a business model that puts economic and convenience barriers in the way of access, so that only the people who really want to use it as their source of information and are willing to put up time and money to do so read it is a great way of turning that side into an elite thing.

Also, thinking about this some more, that particular bogus fact is probably an interesting counter-example to the rest of the article too. All the information required to debunk that claim about South Korean vs US coronavirus testing was and still is publicly available for free in English, and there were and still are really convenient sites aggregating it unobstructed by barriers like copyright. Everyone in the know believed the bogus elite-narrative claim anyway.

Honestly my biggest problem with FreeCAD might be that I have already learned Solid Edge and Solid Works in school and at work.

Learning to use CAD software is a nightmare and I rather not do it again.

Since I only do wood work out of work it is just simpler to draw by hand than trying to learn FreeCAD properly to maybe learn that it can't do what I want anyway.

The "auto dimension tool" (I do not know the real name) is a magic ruler that let you change dimensions and inter object relations by just clicking stuff. It introduces constrains too. I understand why it would be a nightmare to program.

This undercounting effect already happens each year with the seasonal flu, it's a known effect [0]. The number of total deaths increases larger than the number of people who have flu listed as medical cause on their death certificate. Technically, for the individual, it's correct that they didn't die from the flu, but it has weakened them enough for another looming danger to hit them prematurely.

That's not my experience; a lot of friends and colleagues have left the UK to go back to the EU since the referendum vote.

Also, in terms of recruitment, very few people are now interested in coming over to the UK for engineering positions. We used to have a lot of talented candidates from EU countries (especially Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, etc.); we have not had a single applicant from these countries since the vote.

> The phone turned out to be an abject user experience failure. It had a 100 song limit regardless of how much space you actually had left, and it was painfully slow at uploading songs from iTunes. Crucially, you couldn’t use it to buy ringtones or music remotely

I'm fairly sure that was a carrier-imposed limitation.

However much Apple's store looks like a monopoly now, we should also recognise that Apple did a lot to fight the awfulness of anti-features imposed by carriers on phones so they could sell the feature back to you at monopoly prices.

And the Apple 30% cut looks reasonable compared to a traditional music industry 70% cut ..
The term I should have used was "efficient market." Basically, because of the bid system and assuming that companies are testing different prices, prices for ads should be relatively efficient.

I was not commenting on the content on the ads, just the pricing of them.

Spot the error.

I still have a small-ish Centrino laptop from 2004 that's running Windows XP. It's been airgapped for roughly 10 years (wifi broke and at some point there were no updates for XP) but it's getting occasional use as a portable DVD player. I don't get why you'd willingly buy an old machine to be constrained but I hate throwing out old stuff that still works. And this does.
Tailwind UI is still in preview with very few components. There's no way it generated 2 millions. No even 10k. This is a gross publicity stunt.

The part missing from your hypothetical scenario is that founders have egos and many would rather keep ownership of their company and don't want to work for someone else. (I made previous comment about this.[0])

Yahoo made offers to buy Google and Facebook but we obviously know that Larry Page and Mark Zuckerberg did not become employees of Yahoo reporting to their boss Jerry Yang. They said "no sale".

In Facebook's case of being the buyer, Kevin Systrom of Instragram said "yes" to Zuckerberg but Ev Williams of Twitter said "no".[1]

If you're a founder of a successful startup and Autodesk/Facebook/Google come calling with an offer of (m|b)illions to buy your company, you can listen to them but you don't have to sell.

Why not use old(er) Systems when they fulfill your needs? A computer is a tool, such as a typewriter, printing press, paintbrush or hammer. Would anyone argue about the age of a typewriter or hammer if its in good working condition?

In fact, i am using an Atari 520ST as my main computer since my laptop died a while ago. It started as an experiment, but now "it just works". I got network connectivity, email and (limited) internet access through a "Netusbee" adapter, and easy modern media access through a gotek floppy emulator.

FTA: “the study found huge changes in migration patterns of UK citizens since the 2016 referendum, which contrast with largely stable ones among nationals from the 27 EU states remaining in the bloc.”

On the other hand, https://www.compas.ox.ac.uk/2019/brexit-uncertainty-motivate... shows a (smaller, and, eye-balling it, not with a break in the trend at time of Brexit) uptick in EU naturalizations in the UK, too.
True.

Back in the early 00's when it looked like Frankfurt might compete with London, Gordon Brown introduced 'light touch regulation', and aligned us strongly with the US which made Frankfurt unattractive to US banks. Of course that fanned the winds of the credit crunch.

Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself post-2020, and Rishi Sunak doesn't do anything like that. But who knows?
This is what i have concluded too. I was in similar position where i found that what ever i read it always seemed biased. FT has been very good.
They are probably now on a priority target list for other groups, since they do pay out.

C4D is really good and Maxon has been decent in making updates for it imo. They are listening to their users and updating stuff, even if more slowly than people would like.

They’ve also done of the best lateral moves of all time by buying Redshift, which is slowly becoming a serious production renderer second only to Arnold imo.

I have no idea why people have such strong reactions against the subscription model - first of all you can still purchase a permanent license of C4D, second of all, the sub model is way cheaper and actually helped me a ton since I live in a poorer country.
“Less bad” covered many things, but what I have seen is not “far better”.

Just because they're still working in the UK that doesn't mean that they haven't been affected at all.
In my experience knowing and working with foreign people in the UK, most of them long to go home. I'm not sure if that's the case for Brits working abroad, but I'm sure it is. I remember after the first time I went abroad it was little things like the font on the road signs that made me feel glad to be back in Britain. The only places I've felt even remotely "at home" while abroad are colonies, like South Africa, even though on paper it would seem much more "foreign" than anywhere in Europe.

So I don't think Brexit will fuel anything here. If anything it will make Britain seem more like home and make people less likely to leave. Uncontrolled immigration means your home is less like your home every day. That's what will force people to leave. And unless those people find themselves in a colony, they're doomed to be forever foreign.

I mentioned /r/Sino because it's what you'll typically find on the Chinese internet. It is an echo chamber.

Try scrolling through weibo for an active discussion saying "Maybe Taiwan can be its own country" or "Maybe China's policy of banning all foreign discussion platforms isn't good." You might have a one off comment saying something like that, but the moment multiple people talk about it, it is guaranteed to be deleted in the best case. If the discussion gets too big, worse things will happen. Oftentimes there'll be a discussion about something offending China by simply existing, and the comments are just increasingly outlandish suggestions of how everyone needs to retaliate.

/r/sino is just a mirror of the Chinese internet experience, in English. It's like reading comments on a mainstream TV news site, but anyone who dares call out the content as BS gets their comments instantly wiped.
I think this whole thing has really taught me a lot.

One aspect of that is that people are not rational by nature. Another is that we cannot change that about them and actually it's as much a force of nature as a hurricane or an earthquake. You cannot argue or reason with any of these forces.

Our mistake has been failing to build quake proof cities, not failing to appreciate the earthquakes point of view...
