So, I work in pretty much this exact area. The main issue is you're trying to sell something that customers don't buy - any integration, FHIR or HL7 or something, is only ever needed to get one product to talk to another. Usually a new one to talk to the old one; and the business selling the new product is the one in whose interest it is to get the integration working.

While it's always possible to take existing kit and do more/better automation, this kind of operational improvement tends to have little to no budget unless there's some specific project being undertaken (e.g. going to structured reporting). Generally, although people are often unhappy with internal software, the business will be operating as-is pretty comfortably. You'd need to deliver an awful lot of value to make it worthwhile paying you what you need.

I would probably look to better define your customer. You might have a better shout trying to approach ISVs who are selling new healthcare products, and asking them to use you as a delivery partner. Many ISVs have weak deployment teams and cannot deal with complex integrations, but they will be the ones with a customer and a contract. If you can speed up time to implementation, they get paid quicker and can do more.
Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

If the ban is limited to the US only, and if they provide clear conditions on how to resolve this problem (such as pointing out which concrete US data laws are violated, and talking about clear steps towards resolving those violations) then you may have a point.

But the ban is world wide. Even inside China. And there are no conditions, it's a ban that cannot be resolved.

Claims of spying is just an excuse. They want to burn China's prosperity down to the ground.
I would agree but I think title didn't contain GPT-3, so it didn't do well given the crowd here. I didn't want to edit the title as it's against the rules.

Also I think there's a debate as to how "good" it really is as it's being composed from 8 runs. Personally I think it's unbelievably good, and showing that very soon we won't need to do 8 runs.
I would go one step further and say that among the mentioned post-open source alternatives, free licenses are the most mature, legally sound and promising candidates to fight corporate exploitation of developers.
The fact that all big OS vendors are doing something with it it is quite positive, however they also have their own managed languages, alternatives to Rust like safety projects and have a seat at ISO C++ table.

So I guess it boils down to how much space are they planning to give to Rust on their own SDKs, IDE and OS infrastructure.

Accidental Bombing of Rotterdam
Well, I haven’t really talked about collapse of society here. I guess it’s difficult to even define what it means precisely. I could imagine that Sarajevo siege and few years around 1991 in former USSR could qualify.

Then again people who I talked to in 2014, were still a bit in denial till the start of school year and only then left the area directly affected by war.

My point is simple — you take the ability to access banking system for granted, when it’s far from universal. It’s also not as unrestricted and interconnected as bitcoin or internet itself. Sometimes you have a bank and a card, but your ability to transact is restricted. It doesn’t always mean that you sit in the basement hiding from daily artillery strike or wandering post-nuclear desert on a cool bike.
Except you did.

You said it is a right/requirement to live/work in California or wherever, but the reality is living/working in any particular location is a privilege!

It’s funny you say this, because I did exactly this yesterday. I downloaded chromium and forgot I had not yet dragged it to my applications folder and I was running it for a few hours out of my downloads folder.
>The real issue is why should an otherwise capable CPU from 5 years ago struggle to render the average website today, when it really shouldn't be that hard.

That depends on what is a capable CPU. I would say even iPhone dont have an Capable CPU 5 years ago today. ( iPhone 6, iPhone 6s not released yet )

And it is even worst on Android, and the current state of things aren't much better. Hopefully ARM will catch up in the next 5 years, but that means it will take another 5 years to filter down to market.

I'd urge people to read the articles and judge for themselves if they are "silly questions".
Ask HN: Why do programming languages have their own package managers?
With python I have run into issues where I have multiple packages lying around, those installed by the OS's package manager and those installed by pip of another python.

With node I have always had to install a newer version than that installed by the OS.

ROS seems to take this even further. There is a ros-kinetic-, ros-melodic- series of packages each for a specific Ubuntu release.

There is also perl's CPAN.

OCaml had not one but 2 package managers I think and the only package set that seems to work is that is the default OS install. The others apparently stay up to speed with ocaml updates.

What are possible solutions/workarounds, if at all this is seen as a problem?
Ask HN: Would you join a non-commercial internetwork?
No banners, no webshops, no asking for donations, subscriptions or paywalls, in short, no for-profit activity allowed.

Only people doing stuff for fun and making it available to everyone else for free, on their own expense because they want to do it?

It'd have its own DNS system, everyone gets a public routable IP so they can host their services, and everyone can register one domain name that's not already taken.

The list of registered domains would be available to anyone so discoverability would be possible.

Should we build something like this on top of the public Internet and live a more simple life?

The School of Life infuriates me for many reasons, but I will restrain myself and talk just about this specific post.

Perhaps the small libraries of historic figures has more to do with the availability of books than it does their minimalism. I agree that people should not be reading every new self-help or business book that gets published. The majority of new books are bad. History acts as a great filter, which is why focussing on old books is a strong heuristic to find good books. I also agree with Nassim Taleb, who says that you should try to read the works from people who have actually done something (opposed to modern pseudo-philosophers like Alain de Botton, who is just trying to capitalise on the religion-shaped hole in western morality). I am not a religion apologist, but his videos and lectures are structured exactly the same way as sermons. He even feigns a false pastor modesty. Ugh I am beginning to rant now.

As a civilisation I still believe that we are not reading enough. I can feel my reading habit eroded and tugged by modern media. I feel fulfilled after reading in a way that YouTube or Netflix cannot provide.
Too bad you had to take this to social media because support is deaf.

It is, but you have to be quite the expert. It's not like app development where even limited experience can be enough to get by.
However if you like that sort of stuff you can try to become a web develoepr (pick say Python or Ruby) and then become an expert in backendy / performence issues.
I would like an example of even one of these, please?

Especially how they handle E2E encryption between multiple devices owned by the same user, without using one device as proxy.
People can be weird about this sort of thing, especially with Apple. I remember when the iPhone XR came out some people would insist on always writing "iPhone Xʀ", for example.
the commenter is right and you have missed the point. There is no competition in this space. You can only get Fortnite from the Epic Games Launcher.
Weirdly one of my greatest pleasures in life is in fact having lunch with a brilliant lawyer friend of mine and discussing Constitutional law. It’s got real lately, and we live in Seattle. Current events weren’t like this when we started these chats a decade and a half ago...

MQM and the Mayor is still waiting to receive a mandate from the provincial government. All power lies with the PPP in Karachi.
All those "Oh, I have read sooooo many books this year!"-thing is just another elitist posture.

It's pretty much like the minimalists who run around and tell people that they only own a MBP and an iPhone XPro+ (or whatever the maxed out version is) and two potted plants. Most people will not have enough disposable income to buy a full-fletched MBP and that iPhone.

You need to be rich (kind of) to be able to have a minimalist lifestyle. The same goes with reading.

Most people will just try to make ends meet, juggle with bringing job, familiy, friends, sports/staying healthy under one hat and in the evening they don't want to process any more information from a book.

Their everyday life is SO packed with everything, there's no time to sit back, relax and read 25 books a year.

So, yeah, read two books a year and call it a day.

If iOS doesn't offer what they want, don't buy Apple, plain and simple, there is nothing more to discuss and the judge will set this straight.
> "around the same time, free software organizations were starting to successfully sue companies who were using free software but not complying with the license. so big companies, like Apple, saw new restrictions coming in at the same time as more aggressive enforcement, and said “well shit, we want to base our software on these handy convenient tools like GCC but we can’t use GPLv3 software while keeping our hardware and software as locked together as we’d like.” so they started pouring money into a new C compiler, LLVM, that was instead open source."

This is only half the story.

The other half is that GCC is a monolithic app, built in a style that makes it hard to contribute to. GCC was (maybe it still is), ironically, defective by design in order to force companies to extend GCC, instead of building plugins that could be distributed as proprietary.

Either way, LLVM's license is still Free Software, still Open Source. And LLVM's permissive license is actually proof that you don't necessarily need a copyleft license to get companies to contribute. And we've got a whole ecosystem of such projects built with permissive licenses, hello BSD/OS.

Free Software and Open Source never meant just copyleft. That's a misconception.

---

> "what really killed free software? ... in a word, capitalism."

It's funny that the author says that, because it is capitalism that enabled Free Software to exist in the first place.

Copyleft wouldn't be possible without the existing copyright law.

Also the biggest contributors to FOSS projects have been companies. Not individuals in their spare time, not the state, but companies motivated by profit. Just like how technological innovations are often driven by companies motivated by profit. And yes, we could have a discussion about perverse incentives, and how we could avoid that.

But I was born in communism, I know how not living in capitalism is actually like, and unless people can suggest actual solutions, instead of a rant inspired by Marx & friends, we've got nothing to talk about. I wish articles with such bad takes would start with the conclusion, so I wouldn't waste my time.
Which is not actually a bad thing per se.

Those drivers do work better than their free/open-source counterpart but are hard to install (especially if secure boot is enabled) and do not play nice with the whole GNU/Linux ecosystem.

You think there are not enough competent people out there for us to avoid conflicts of interest?

As for complying with extradition requests is this sort of abuse of power not the kind of thing the UK wanted to "tweak" the human rights act for?

we (the UK) seems to have participated in these war crimes to a certain extent, i actually have hopes for a better future with a fairer society - so yes I do want to people to call out conflicts of interest and yes i do want people to keep re-justifying their actions through modern morals and context rather than being caught up in nostalgia and nationalism.

The problem, as with all things in Karachi, is systemic.

It results from lack of ownership which makes accountability hard (politicized institutions with diverging agendas). During these rains, an entire township (Naya Nazimabad) sank underwater and many areas are still waterlogged. This township was built on top of a low-lying lake that was reclaimed. The approval of such projects involves dozens of authorities, each of whom charges an "expediency fees" and corruption is deep rooted within them. An officer who comes in for a 2-4 year tenure on low government salaries is incentivized to maximize his earnings during his short tenure.

The second is the lack of engineering involvement. The government sector doesn't exactly attract the top talent at good salaries. The tenders on the other hand are awarded based on nepotism and personal gain. There is a long list of botched projects in the civil sector. None of the desalination and water treatments plants are operational, in the entire city, for example. They have not been for years now.

The sewerage infrastructure in many parts of the city, as exists right now, is worse than the French sewers built in the 14th century[1]. These sewers are open-top and become dumping grounds for garbage due to lack of a garbage collection infrastructure. The encroachments around and above these sewers fall victim to Tragedy of Commons[2]. The whole thing is a mess with no easy solution and if this years' heavy rainfalls become a future trend, the situation will be unsustainable. Many homes were waterlogged for days and weeks with no power or connectivity (cell towers have around 24-48 hours of standby power after which they went down).

I am finding that semantic HTML and CSS Grid where you style the elements works nicely for documents. This goes against what Tim Berners Lee imagined in that I am typing in the HTML tags and happy to navigate them in text.

I prefer the tags as they describe my work. Visually there is no evidence that something is a 'section' or an 'aside' but I make sure my words do have document structure, so a 'section' will probably have a 'h3' at the start of it.

I wish there was a 'what you see is what you mean' editor that was visual but only allowed you to add HTML semantic elements. WYSIWYG editors tend to just add local styles and 'br' elements, resulting in HTML that is useless for my style of HTML.

I can do diagrams in various ways including SVG that I just write out manually. Or I can use the wonders of CSS Grid and a 'dl' list with first of type/last of type CSS selectors to style up a simple linear flow diagram.

I really wish there was a super neat word processor or HTML editor that only wrote lean HTML with semantic markup for document structure. But here I am in 2020 using my IDE or Vim to write documents and even craft diagrams.

I am impressed that I am not alone in spurning drag and drop wonder gadgets. As much as I would like to give Wordprerfect a go, I feel the world has moved on from documents printed out as memos and put in pigeon holes. Stuff has to look good in a browser and with stripped down HTML that uses the elements and a simple stylesheet that loads a font and puts in some CSS Grid layout I feel I have the tools I need.
Developing skills and integration for IOT devices against Alexa is quite convenient and a lot of fun from a technical perspective. I think Amazon did a good job on it and is actively promoting/enforcing secure information exchange between devices and the Alexa service. I would believe them that they delete user data and shield it from third party ambitions as best as they can.

That said, I would not want to have a smart speaker in my home. There are too many ambitions to get a hand on this data. We know that mass surveillance from state actors is pervasive, advertisers are experts in removing their own decency and the overall risk is just too high. Get rid of them or maybe offer Alexa offline options and it could be a nice tool.

It could help with logistical problems of delivery and make it even more convenient aside from interfacing a lot of devices. In theory all fine and dandy.
This doesn't work because the link() syscall fails if the target exists.

You use a hardlink only for atomic creation of the initial data:

write 'foo~'
hardlink 'foo~' onto 'foo'

To atomically update you simply use rename:

read 'foo'
write 'foo~'
rename 'foo~' into 'foo'

I don't know what dan-robertson's claim is based on, but this surely is atomic even on a crash, as the filesystem will never be in a state where 'foo' contains only partially updated data. That would require some severe fs corruption.

I once saw a humble, but quite astounding artefact on TV: a box for mailing eggs, of course, Victorian. Behind this hides an entire system of postal service and mail train delivery. A, say, Cornish farmer would put fresh eggs for an individual customer in said box in the early morning. Those boxes were then collected by the postal service and shipped by train to London, where it was delivered to the customer's home, just in time for breakfast, the very same morning. (Amazon next day delivery pales in comparison.)

>To follow the depiction by Antonello da Messina, St Jerome appears to be the proud owner of about ten books in all!

It's a fictional depiction some thousand years after the life of St. Jerome. How is this supposed to be an argument?

From what we know St. Jerome spent much of his life traveling between ancient libraries, collecting, reading and comparing a large number of different gospels (both canonical and apocryphal). He also had access to texts which are now considered lost, like the Gospel of the Hebrews.
But how often does a server gets stolen from a data center?

It surely makes sense for phones as it makes less profitable to steal them (as you could only sell parts of the phone and even that can be blocked). Maybe even for laptops but not for desktops and servers.
I honestly don't see why the CPUs couldn't from the factory contain a public key from AMD, and from there AMD issues certificates to firmware vendors to sign their firmware with. This would allow the CPU to 'verify' the certificate chain of the firmware that is being used without locking it to a specific vendor. This decreases security a little because the leakage of a single signing certificate means you can malicious firmware on any device but it seems like its much more consumer friendly.
