> I haven't the slightest clue what you're taking about. You can change your license on future versions, but you can't retroactively change the conditions of an offer that's already been accepted.

Yes, you can.

In order to be a legally binding contract, three things are required: an offer, acceptance, and consideration. Consideration is the value gained by entrants into a contract.

In short, if you did not pay to license some piece of open source software, there is no consideration for the author of that software. Hence, the license attached to the software is NOT a contract binding on the author. It is a bare license -- simply the terms under which you are permitted to use the author's IP -- and the author is legally entitled to revoke it at any time.

You may not like it, and it has unfortunate implications for open source, but that's how contract law in common law jurisdictions like the USA works.

I don't think My Lai can be blamed on the US government. The cover up can be blamed as trying to cover up a shameful act, but the act itself was done by men who were in a shitty situation and snapped.

Unless you have evidence that they were asked to do those things specifically by higher ups, to me those were the actions of shitty men in a shitty situation.

Should we include our phones, tables and laptops and call them "mobile active audio monitoring devices" too? They all have microphones and cameras (not just one, but many have two) and we all carry them around in our pockets or on our wrists or even in our ears without much issue. They don't even hide the fact they have a microphone, the name of the device is literally a mobile micro-phone ("mobile phone", "smart phone"). Many phones also have a wake word (try yelling "hey siri" in a crowded place). So I really don't get the backlash around smart speakers. The main use of a smart speaker is to play music, not to record notes or make calls. And speaker-phone is already taken. I wouldn't put any evil marketing scheme to calling them smart speakers and not smart (micro) phones.
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll have a look to see if I can do something about that.

I think the phrase is fine since according to our best models of galaxy formation these galaxies should not be able to exist and yet they do. As such we don't understand how these galaxies can exist and need to do more research to come up with better models that can explain the existence of these galaxies.

It's an investment that the parents will reap 10000x the benefit compared to everyone else in the society.

Also, it's very rare that people think they are going to bear a child to improve society. Adoption would make much much more sense if that was their goal.

In any case, people want to have children, sure.

Then they complain that having a child is so tough so much hardship (e.g. no vacation ever in this thread, child tax credit is not enough). Then, they turn to society to support them in an unfair way

Almost everyone knows the estimated cost and effort upfront. There are tons of materials and prior experience.

It's like me spending all my cash on Tesla and then complain that society doesnt support me enough.

Whatever its faults, most of the works in Bloom's list at the end of The Western Canon are probably very much worthwhile, yet appreciating them could occupy more than a lifetime for anyone whose job is not reading literature, even if other pastimes be largely avoided.

And it's mostly limited to fiction, drama, and poetry! It omits almost all math, science (including social science and history), and philosophy that's not of literary significance. Even within those restrictions, it's by no means a comprehensive list of every worthwhile work or author ever (if nothing else, the "Western" qualifier makes that plain).

We're even there for film, and we've only meaningfully had that medium for ~130 years. One may watch thousands of movies without ever leaving the realm of "widely regarded as excellent, meaningful, and/or important". I'd imagine there's far more than enough very, very good recorded music that it's in the same situation. Many lifetimes of top-notch media exist. Reading/hearing/watching anything that's not very good is entirely a choice.

This headline (as in the original on the site) seems unnecessarily editorial. From the article:

> CFO Shim said Slack expects "to be free cash flow breakeven for the year" and raised revenue guidance to a range of $870m to $876m, a jump of 38 per cent at the midpoint. The next quarter is expected to grow 32 per cent at the midpoint of a range of $222m to $225m.

It's true, they can't turn a profit, but this still sounds like a development in that direction. I'd say check back next year and see.

It's unfortunate that cellular providers don't offer this. I get around it by setting my data connection to prefer 3g. It helps with a 500mb limit (data is expensive on cheap plans), but it'd be nice to be able to throttle apps individually (no, I do not want video ads to be downloaded, but internet connectivity is required for the app to work online.

Moore's law has continued, but this increase in transistors stopped translating into commensurate increases in performance at every level.

I would argue that wherever performance really matters, that is, where it is measured and where the improvement is estimated to reduce cost or increase revenue to the point where the programming effort is justified, we're already near the optimum. I don't see many fields where this is the case today but won't be tomorrow.

In the past, software needed to be optimized just to run at all, but that constraint is gone forever. Consumers generally accept software that is kinda clunky and slower than it needs to be, peak performance rarely becomes the differentiator that it needs to be to justify optimization on modern hardware.

Language benchmarks only give you the theoretical lower bound of runtime, but software in practice is usually much slower than that, regardless of language. For instance, it's not unusual to see some C code with unfavorable complexity, just because someone didn't bother to bring in a data structure that would've been part of the standard library of a slower language.
One must ponder which came first, the universe or the restaurant.

Hey OliverM! Cofounder of the company here. Thanks for your question. The primary target market of the platform is midsize to larger companies who need to build apps for their employees and customers. We've seen that the platform has strong ROI for these customers compared to the alternatives they typically have for developing these apps (where all-in TCO can get quite high — as much as six or seven figures). Our pricing is competitive relative to other high-productivity enterprise app platforms, especially since it's a cloud-native full stack (dev environment, cloud backend, etc.)
Show HN: Mimestream, a native macOS email client for Gmail
Ah ha! I should have recognized it, given that I'm pretty sure I wrote that, haha.

Incidentally, this is one reason why I've been advocating for a return of scoped threads to libstd; I can't change this example to be the "good" one, because we don't refer to external packages and we don't have scoped threads built-in.
Hi HN! In the past, I spent over 7 years working on Apple Mail, and today I am really excited to share a new email client I'm building: Mimestream, a native macOS email client for Gmail.

Mimestream is written in Swift, and uses AppKit+SwiftUI for a clean, stock appearance. It's designed to be fast, lightweight, and use a minimal amount of disk space. Mimestream's advantages over using the Gmail web interface includes features like multiple accounts, a unified inbox, system notifications, swipe actions, dark mode, (some) offline support, tracker prevention, multiple keyboard shortcut sets, and more.

Mimestream differs from other email clients because it uses the Gmail API rather than IMAP, so it supports more Gmail-specific features like categorized inboxes, Gmail's search operators, first-class labels support (apply multiple via ⌘L, set colors, etc), synced aliases, synced signatures, etc. I'm planning a lot more work in this area, including server-side filter configuration, Google Drive support, G Suite directory autocomplete, and more.

The app is a traditional email client that makes direct connections to Gmail and stores your data on your Mac. There are no intermediary servers with access to your account or copies of your messages. Mimestream is free for a limited time during the public beta, but will eventually be a paid app by the time it gets to the Mac App Store.

I hope you enjoy trying out the beta, and I look forward to hearing your feedback!
It's pretty awesome.

More like "one guy engaged in saber rattling and nobody listened", and he didn't even make any substantive Linux contributions.

This same guy actually did try revoking the license to his open source slot machine game from the GeekFeminism contributors, and the GF people were like "okay, yeah, sure, whatever, we promise not to touch your shitty game again".

So this remains untested in court.

But if you actually look at the relevant bits of contract law, you'll see... he actually has stopped-clock syndrome on this, and it really has dire consequences for how we do open source. At least in the USA, and admittedly, different views on copyrights and licensing prevail outside the USA, where much of the work on Linux is done.

Reality means your opinion can't happen without abuse.

If there's a subset of the people that are given special rights, the giver of those special rights can then cull anyone who would potentially act in opposition. Since it's the government itself that gives those rights, they're able to effectively act with impunity.

If you give everyone those rights, and those protections under the law, the government itself becomes a lot more honest and that's worth it.
Same and I have to disagree with basically everything you’ve said, save the DSL bit and the R package bit.

In particular, I don’t see how the tidyverse is at all ‘magical’ - take the two most popular tidy libs, dplyr and ggplot2. The api for dplyr is very explicit, intuitive, and based on long-standing precedence (sql). The api for ggplot2 is admittedly less intuitive, but is itself an implementation of widely known framework (Grammar of Graphics). If by magical you mean in their abstractions, those are about as far from magical as one can get.

The tidyverse does get iffy sometimes when you need to dig into the rlang/tidy eval area, but that’s all well-documented.

I haven’t had to use R in a production environment for about a year now, but I always enjoyed the concise tidy api.

Base R is a total mess and largely inconsistent, but I guess that’s what you get when statisticians from different uni’s patchwork a language in their spare time.

meta comment: If a comment generates good discussion then why should it be downvoted.
It depends. If you can reasonably trust your team to not to do I/O in the scripts, then you're fine. If you can't, then you should use something like Starlark (a subset of Python running in a constrained environment that precludes I/O, unbounded loops, etc); however, Starlark doesn't support types yet.

I've looked at Cue a few times (principally out of frustration with the lack of types in Starlark), but I don't really "get it". What I want is a typed embeddable scripting language--specifically the ability to expressively generate YAML, and I'm pretty sure that's not what Cue is. I'm open to the argument that Cue is better than what I want (a la "if Henry Ford asked people what they really want, they'd've said faster horses"), but the value proposition isn't clear to me from perusing the docs. Maybe you can correct me?

> What concessions are we talking about that is not some kind of flexibility or time off, and which only a parent could benefit from?

Well, to go back to my first post: If you're in the middle of a Zoom call, and a parent's toddler interrupts them and they have to take 30 seconds to see their finger painting before sending them back to the other parent, just be patient and accept that. If someone in the middle of a Zoom call says, "Sorry, just let me take 30s to pump out 5 pull-ups here", or "Sorry, just bear with me while I search to see how fast Queens regenerate energy", I think you have a right to be somewhat annoyed.

If someone says, "Sorry I'm a bit slow today -- our infant is sleeping poorly", and it's the 10th time this month, cut them some slack for the 10th time. If they say, "Sorry I'm a bit slow today -- I was up all night playing Starcraft" or "Sorry I'm a bit slow today -- I did back-to-back marathons yesterday", and it's the 10th time this month, I think you have a right to be somewhat more annoyed.

I could go on, but do I need to? I feel like the difference between having a human being that depends on you for its very survival and having a hobby that you can mostly schedule -- or at least behaves predictably -- should be pretty obvious.

I'm a bit confused here. The article starts out talking about no-code software development and the advantages and limits of no-code software, then lays out a bunch of principals including things like using an OSS stack. Then at the very bottom drops what looks like a complicated TS development IDE with some bolt on tools (which appear to be for-fee/ non-OSS).

Who is the target market for this? What kind of app would I write with it? Since Could I build up an OXIDE stack myself and make some apps for my friends?

About the only use-case I can see here is enterprise app development and personally, I think tying yourself to a vendor Platform-as-a-Service solution like this is a bit fraught.
> that this could be observational error

This could absolutely be observation error. Messups in science happen all the time. You never take a single data point at face value without question, in any field. The spectrum might be polluted by another more distant object, the line matching might have been faked by some other intervening medium, the modelling for the lensing galaxy could be wrong. I agree, it looks good.

But it could totally be a mistake.
