Having worked in large corporations and now wishing to bootstrap my own projects here my two cents on how I see things currently in the OSS/FS:

I see the current state of FS as a way to cooperate between organizations in an almost transparent way and at the same time protect themselves from competitors by making the entry barrier to the market higher to little players as they would need to be remarkably stronger than the current free offering.

Sure, everyone wins by having more accessible free knowledge and products everywhere, but now these markets have quite high entry bar for anyone who doesn't have enough capital to be in a market which cannot sustain smaller players.

Somehow `massive` OSS defeats the competitiveness of capitalism and that is something which wasn't expected when FS was originally formulated. Also a project which appears to be free but it is extremely lobbied and flooded with milions of many companies and contains incredibly large amounts of financing and development time is not accessible to most of the users anymore as these are overpowered by corporations.
Apparently yes:

A transaction of the type the president envisions could also prove more expensive than the one Microsoft described on Sunday. Trump said Monday that part of the amount paid to buy TikTok would have to come to the U.S. Treasury Department because it would be making the deal possible.

“It’s a little bit like the landlord/tenant; without a lease the tenant has nothing, so they pay what’s called ‘key money,’ or they pay something,” Trump said. “But the United States should be reimbursed or should be paid a substantial amount of money, because without the United States they don’t have anything, at least having to do with the 30%.”

So, to summarise: the president of the United States is openly advocating applying illegal real estate extortion/bribery practices to major M&A deals with geopolitical implications.

The UK seems to have made a mess of their Coronavirus response (fewer cases but even more deaths than the USA). That accounts for most of the current news. Johnson has recently continued the trend of nominating far too many people to the House of Lords (the unelected upper chamber of Parliament), which is a severe weakness in British democracy, second only to the terrible voting system for the Commons (lower house) in my opinion.

"Boring" bureaucracy like the headlights is rarely a significant problem. The idea that the government is fundamentally incompetent and shouldn't be trusted even to tie its own shoelaces seems uniquely American -- in Britain, if part of the government isn't working the people look for a politician to blame, usually either for interfering or cutting the budget.

But do they break down as often? If it's about physical breakage (car crash), you're going to change more than just the light bulb for either tech. And it will cost more with traditional bulbs, too.
This divisive "us and them" stance is unnecessary, and doesn't help anyone.

OSS and free software matters to me - so I use VSCode, which is OSS. Whether extensions are OSS or not is immaterial (the same extensions you can use with VSCodium!).

Well, if you have external API calls in your Django app and you are running sync (which I would absolutely advice, with running async it is really easy to get an unpredictable performance which is sometimes hard to track down) having the ability to run some views async is really crucial.

Otherwise your application might me humming along smoothly at some point and coming to a sudden complete standstill or performance plummets when a random external API endpoint starts to time out. Yes I have been bitten by this :-)

To fix this while running sync I have dedicated separate application processes for the views that do external calls, but this makes the routing complex. Alternatively you can juggle timeouts on the external API calls but this is hard to get right and you need to constantly keep track if calls are not timed out just because the external endpoint is a bit slower at some point.

So I think this solves a very real-world challenge.
Ask HN: Best RSS to Newsletter service for small blogs?
Hi,
what's the best rss to newsletter service for small blogs nowadays?

I have a static website and I am looking for something to give readers the option to follow my posts via email as well, but I'd rather not spend time in crafting a newsletter and just automate on top of my rss feed.

Bonus point if the service can also handle feed stats.
Can you give some examples where a relational schema isn’t suitable?
I tend to keep one CI pipeline with all dependencies unpinned (I made pip-chill for that reason) and Django set to the latest version to get early warnings of the impending doom.

That said, it takes a while for the Django folk to end support for a release so, at least, there is not much of a hurry to update a running app.

From the article:

Mines in the US and Canada were considered a “good” prospect if they could yield ore with 0.03% uranium. At Shinkolobwe, ores typically yielded 65% uranium. The waste pile of rock deemed too poor quality to bother processing, known as tailings, contained 20% uranium.
Async operations have never been to speed things up, but to prevent synchronous operations from blocking threads.

This should have no (big) performance impact, but these will most probably allow better concurrency, which can be quite critical for a web framework.
Is there a good guide one could follow?

- I am also looking jobs in sector where I could do meaningful work like Healthcare, Agritech and EduTech.

Axios[0] quotes Trump as saying: “A very substantial portion of that price is going to have to come into the Treasury of the United States. Because we’re making it possible for this deal to happen. Right now they don’t have any rights, unless we give it to them. So if we’re going to give them the rights, it has to come into this country. It’s a little bit like the landlord/tenant”.

Make of that what you will, but it doesn’t sound like he’s talking about just taxes to me.

I use the JSONP column type in Postgres for data that is structured but user-supplied.
Because they're physical features already installed, it'll probably be okay. Will void your warranty, but nothing the MFG can do. Same way retuning your ECU to make more power works.

Versus something like hacking a subscription for satellite radio, where the feature in question is the content the service is providing, which is easier to frame as illegal.

Then there's the case of hacking hour Tesla to enable autopilot. The hardware is there (like the seats) but the functionality is continually updated via subscription.

I look forward to the lawsuits, with the hope that the consumer prevails.

private API != no API
Two guesses, one for each side of the political spectrum:

1. The word "erratic" suggests that there is error, rather than deliberate behavior to make the news and to throw enemies off guard.

2. You pointed out that the actions were in fact started by CFIUS, which is a disappointment to anybody who wants to see the actions as being driven by vanity or malice or corruption or similar.

No, it's built on money. Sometimes that leads to progress, sometimes it doesn't.

To be fair, this is a really complex feature to add, so it would be a serious commitment from JetBrains to build it.
> Government issued ID's are not mandatory

- They're mandatory for people who want to work, as indicated on I-9 forms and E-vite.

- They're mandatory for buying alcohol, etc.

In fact, non-expired IDs are required, which I think is bizarre. I can remember when expired passports were generally still usable, but Congress has been tightening the screws for decades in the name of "ID fraud", which contradicts any anti-poll tax laws designed to protect poor citizens from disenfranchisement.

Mind, "multi-pound" in this situation is "more force than a grown and fit pilot can reasonably exert from a cockpit seat".

I didn't know the exact gearing arrangement for the trim wheel, but the simulator footage was enough to convince me it certainly wasn't guaranteed to be practical.
Ask HN: SaaS recommendation for a smooth on-boarding exprience?
Whatfix, AppCuses, Walkme etc. Which would you pick for a great enterprise SaaS onboarding exprience and why?
Jesus Christ, apparently my parody style didn't work via text :(
Very correct.

In addition, it becomes a real pain when using generics with constraints in TS. TS doesn't support either type classes or module/namespace level generics so you end up duplicating the same constraints applied to generic parameters across several functions.

It is often easier to just use stateless classes instead and incur the runtime overhead of instantiation even if that object serves no purpose.
Mandating face coverings for everyone who leaves their house is a large-scale change. No, I am not American. I'm also now not really European, so that should tell you where I am ;)

Edit: I decided to clarify why I think it is a large-scale change. I cannot think of any other action we are actively obliged to do by law, except for possibly covering gentials, when leaving our own house/property. Introducing any such obligitory action is, in my opinion, a large-scale change in mandated behaviour.
It's a company, in one of the most cutthroat industries in the world. Of course they do everything for competitive advantage, that's the same for all of them. Do you honestly think Amazon or Google are any different in this regard?

Microsoft's embrace of open source is about making their PaaS offerings universally compatible, and about trying to meet developers where they are. They will continue this strategy as long as it remains super profitable; ie as long as great developers have a preference for OSS, and as long as OSS remains a key part of the software ecosystem. If you want Microsoft to remain open source friendly, those are your battlefields.

All companies become more sociopathic as they become more powerful. Look at Google's "Don't Be Evil" which went from inspirational, to corny, to sickening. The solution here isn't to try to support companies that won't do this (they all will, eventually)... it's to regulate how powerful they can get.

That is amazing. And I suspect that one could incorporate more autopilot technology. Perhaps to better illuminate pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and wildlife. Also perhaps police vehicles, identified through markings and/or tag number.

IMHO As an indie founder you never really have to worry about your brand being the same as another until something is internet owned. Which means that it is undeniably #1 on all search engines for that word. For example you couldn’t really start an indie project called “gap” because it’s just so dominated and there’s no room for you to ever overtake it.

But “wide”, for example, is not internet owned so you could start something scrappy called “wide” with the hope that one day you can internet own it.

Starboard is definitely not internet owned so if you do decide to drop it at least know that there is no reason to do so because of external optics.

Also note, there is Probably no other brand that you could choose that didn’t already have a lot of folks using that brand already.

In the end the market will choose the winner!

All that said, this version of starboard here does look pretty cool. I don’t mean to upset anyone. But I did want to explain this point of view on brands for indie founders.

OpenDyslexic has been around since 2011. Often the best font for dyslexics is one that they are used to reading – switching the fonts is one of the main problems.

Apps should generally have the ability to allow for custom fonts so dyslexic users can customise them and use their favourite font.

On the topic of fonts, my favourite new learning 'enhancing' font is Sans Forgetica [1] – it's been proven to help you retain and memorise text. Pretty cool.

I would start with lobbying politicians to change the traffic laws and driving license exams that explicitly tells drivers (at least in my country) to not turn of the headlights for cyclists and pedestrians.

Disobeying traffic laws in order to be nice is tricky, especially if doing so has an remote possibility to cause an accident. The blame will always be on the driver.

Let's imagine that a few years from now, MS starts advertising Azure right inside VSCode, and they start releasing features which favor Azure integration, and actually cause problems when working with GCP.

Now imagine I as a developer want to pick up shop and move to another editor, but it turns out my workflow depends on proprietary extensions which are only available on VSCode, and my velocity will be cut by 70% if I switch editors.

If MS owns the interface most developers have to their code, there are all kinds of ways they could leverage that to your disadvantage.

Imagine flipping a coin. Your chance of tails is 50%. What is your chance of a tails if you flip two coins? It's now 75% clearly (TT, HT, TH but not HH).

Now imagine it's not a coin but a normal distribution. If you sample from it twice then take the minimum of your samples, the chance that the minimum is below the mean is 75%. Just the same as with the coin but in another context.

Obviously the time-before-failure is not normally distributed, nor are the sensors completely independent random variables. But the chance of failure of the system will be higher than one sensor, not double exactly but higher.

Providing cheap and reliable electricity to industry is basically a prerequisite to having industry in the first place, which is why it's so politically important in countries which still care about that. Aluminium smelters, being particularly sensitive to electricity cost, are somewhat willing to choose their location and reduce their power usage briefly if it gives them really, really cheap power, but I think even those still need to be running most of the time.
