There is plenty of tech innovation which heralds from Europe but comes to fruition after moving to the USA. It is not a lack of ideas or one of entrepreneurial spirit but more one of a lack of VC capital and a more stringent legal framework which keeps Europe from producing "the next Google".
I want all my folders everywhere to be in column view, sorted by Kind and Name. Nope. You can't set that for the whole system.

And this drives me nuts :)
yes europe does work much better for the average person on street. i do wonder though how sustainable it is. for example a lot of the stability is due to pension obligations many european governments have. the current generation doesn't have that. and for every 1€ that goes in people seem to pull out any where from €1.25-2 from those systems. exactly what that will look like in 20 years is anyone's guess but it'sn't looking pretty.
Fair point. With that said, both are expensive for lean startups without outside investment. Many Dutch startups always look at the Dutch market first, before they fan out to a few European countries and only then do they look at Europe. And if that all succeed, only then do they dare to look at the US and perhaps the world.

I think this model is quite fair to upstream, anyone that isn't willing to pay for their tools gets the same treatment for their own projects.
COVID is what the article starts with. The fact the death rate is not the same as earlier this year is not surprising.

Although it uses text values for delimiters, Bencode isn't designed to be edited in text mode. If you want to transmit binary data that can be efficiently read by a machine, you cannot also make it human readable/editable - they have opposing goals. The only way to get both is to have a twin format (binary and text) that is 1:1 compatible and transparently convertible.
Just need to find the right distro. I can't stand Ubuntu because it has too many commercial interests attached and its bloated but it's the safest choice because its the most battle tested. The first thing I notice about Manjaro is that their website layout doesn't work on mobile, call me superficial but it makes me question their attention to detail.
I don't think anybody is truly happy. A good chunk of people I know locally are leaning left, and they were very much appalled at how the situation was handled. For better or worse, though, it reached a state at which it managed to fall off the news cycle, so people don't talk about it much anymore.
I‘ve been using commento on my own sites for a bit over a year now. I was initially pleased but development seems to have halted and many pull requests fixing basic features have gone ignored.

I would try something else today.
Thanks for the input!
I'm planning on adding some basic shell functionality and a "directory structure" with some files which ofcourse will be "fakeish" but it won't seem that way.

I 've also noticed that satellite imagery (Google Maps and Google Earth) have been blanked off for large areas of the relevant district of Kamchatka coast.. never seen that before except in and around the vicinity of top secret military bases. I don't buy the Russian authorities insistence that it's an oil spill, I've worked many oil spills and see no sign, in the Kamchatka images i've accessed, of any oil pollution. I had already come to the conclusion that it must be chemical and the info shared on this site has hardened that view, you get a lot of pheonols in "cides" and often various forms/types of hydrocarbons are involved in the "carriers" for cides. Like others on this site, I'd already fixed on the river and followed it's course up into the highlands where I'd deduce, from the mapping of Siberian wildfires, that there's been a lot of wildfire over recent years. This would generate major loss of tree cover, which in turn (in the evnt of heavy rainfall or snow melt) would lead to major erosion and infrastructure damage.. including the destruction of bunded or buried chemical waste repositories and subsequent leaks... would be great to know if any one's doing autopsy on dead marine life or has attempted sampling and analysis on the water.

See if there are jobs at semi-governmental institutes. Think NOAA, NASA and the likes. These have engineering positions which require you to collaborate with scientists. The right project can earn you your name on a research paper.
Covid wise? Measured infections yes, but not many dying anymore, as in most 'phase 2' countries. NL is very bad at making a clear line; no-one I know who lives there knows what they can and cannot do. Other countries have clear, easy to follow rules or get fined. We are polderaars; every decision must have 10000000 exceptions and it stinks.

Otherwise, I am a dutchman and I used to be proud of my country, even though I left it long ago (I like large dense forests and mountains and humid heat; Netherlands very little of any of that), however there is not so much to be proud of anymore. We privatised and sold everything that should not be private or sold, we are less open, less equal, less honest, less direct, the social system is not very social anymore and we are following the USA for pc. Sure there are much worse countries, but they don't pretend to be what they are not (anymore).

The first ones to blame are anti-GPL movement, anything goes with non-copyleft licenses.

Just like pushing for Chrome and now crying that Web has turned into ChromeOS.

Have you heard of paraconsistent logic?

Ethics does not aim to practically tell us what we should do at all times, but to give us the tools to think about such question. A system of ethics where two opposing conclusions can be reach could be perfectly fine.
Git filter-repo is mainly from a single author newren, who also is a significant contributor to git itself: https://github.com/git/git/graphs/contributors
The repo seems open to PR's though, given the many commits from one-time contributors.

[Edited]
A question: how would one check the integrity of the resulting git repo (apart from an obvious rsync check of the source files in master)? Say, I would like to create a branch from an older commit and rewrite its history with "git rebase -i"; that could fail on a a repo without full integrity.

Can you please explain what's great about the market capitalization of US tech stocks vs any of the points mentioned in the article?

I mean, I love tech jobs, but FAANGs are already shifting their jobs outside of the US, including into Europe.

So exactly what's so great about makers capitalization of US tech stocks in the pov of regular people?
I didn't mean to imply I agreed with that. I'm sure there's plenty on the left that would like more open borders, plenty on the right that want them closed, and plenty in the middle that are fine with them as they are - I guess those would be the happy ones, so "no one in Europe being happy" isn't strictly true.

But supposing it were, then the "nonsense" claim makes sense. The argument is logical, even if the facts may be disputed. I just couldn't figure out the train of logic for the "white supremacist neo-colonial" claim, no matter which facts were believed.
I'm probably stating the obvious, but GPL licensing (AGPL, even) hasn't worked so well for MongoDB, Redis, and many other projects/products in these times of SaaS. In fact, the proliferation of SaaS business models can be seen as a direct consequence of the abundance of F/OSS software.
Sorry for the confusion.
Fixed now.
Semi related: A great YouTube video by Lindsay Ellis about how Disney has further changed aspects of their stories between Disney originals and the live action / CGI remakes / modern sequels, largely in the form of the remakes being woke meta-commentary on the original works:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU1ffHa47YY

Topics it covers include:

• Dumbo and the attempts to paper over ideas of racism, alcoholism, animal cruelty;

• Beauty and the Beast and feminism/female empowerment;

• Aladdin adding redundant ideas of female empowerment (that the original arguably didn't lack);

• Mary Poppins being a story about not caring about material possessions to the 2018 sequel being centred around concern for material possessions.
Calling Thailand and Singapore democracies, even if they like to call themselves that, is like calling Russia a democracy, or calling Saudi Arabia a positive agent for women's rights.
FWIW, you have to adhere to couple dozen sets of laws as well, on top of translation and regionalization, when building EU-wide products. The EU works to harmonize a lot of these laws, but it's still made of sovereign nation-states.

Typically embedded linux systems use the linux CPU frequency scaler, which uses various inputs including CPU temperature to scale the CPU clock frequency.
Good article, but there’s a point missing.

GPL incentivizes people to creates web apps instead of desktop or native mobile apps. This way they can reuse GPL pieces without open sourcing their derived works.

Developers are probably OK with that, they can charge monthly fee for a SAAS, also it’s easier to develop software for just 1 hardware configuration + one web browser (or a few browsers if you support mobile).

However, as an end user, I prefer native apps. They don’t require internet connection. I’m in full control over my data. Native apps are often faster, even smartphones have rather high count of these GFLOPs in both CPUs and GPUs, even when the servers are fast and over-provisioned, network latency often kills the performance.
I'm actually curious: how many 'virus particles' does a person need to be exposed to on average to contract the virus?
I meant a comparison in terms of goals, ergonomics, etc. Whatever this new framework is trying to do differently. IIRC, Godot also started as a one-man show.
I think, and I tried to express that with my post, there is no one ideal license. It completely depends on the situation.

If, like QT, the library is your whole product and you do not depend on the community for contributions, then GPL is great. It forces vendors of non-GPL software to acquire a commercial license, while open source projects can use your product without restrictions.

If it is not your core product and you want to encourage community contributions, BSD and MIT might be the license of your choice. You cannot prevent other companies from using the software, but neither are you prohibited of using any community contributions in your product.
Single market really makes this much less work than you’d expect.
If you have ideas or comments on the design of the format, please let me know! I've been working on this for 3 years and am getting close to release, but there are always blind spots when working alone.

The basic premise is that you can never marry "easy to edit" with "efficient to process". They pull in opposing directions, so the only alternative is to have two 100% compatible formats: one in text and one in binary.

I've chosen the data types carefully to support the most common types that come up in real world situations (and have included custom type support for data not intended for public consumption). The compromises made should allow most people to work without adding extra encoding on top of the encoding (base64, special text parsing and such).

The reference implementation is working for all common cases, and mostly there for array types. Once that's finished, I'll start on the schema design.
Thanks!
And lmao no, my irl nickname is Filka, so filkatron.
The majority in most west- and north-European countries is not 'happy with (large-scale migration from non-Western countries)', this is corroborated by many national and European polls. It certainly is not just people who shout in the tabloids and right-wing and the underbelly (politicians). Also, please, stop adding those labels like 'underbelly' and 'right-wing', it just makes you sound like a party apparatchik.
Why would they? What is a shitstorm anyway? Most people don't really care about the company... They care about feeding their family and shitstorms are only shit if you care right?
Meh, most left-leaning folks I know are "unhappy" because they feel like Europe isn't open enough. So sure, they're "unhappy" that's like "well I won the lottery, but I wanted to win the lottery twice in a row, so now I am unhappy".
We live in a world where being an exception means a disadvantage. Changing some factors is difficult. For example, green means good and red means bad. That is not going to change.

My partner is left handed and she has to constantly adapt to a right handed world. Sure, you can buy products catered to both. If you buy for left hand then I can't use as right handed person. The sum is left handed people live, on average, shorter and are due to their giftedness better versed in right hand than right handed people are with left hand.

We both have autism, in an ideal world we never have to adapt, but that ideal world is simply unrealistic.

Now, my question is can AR solve this? I didn't include that I believe AR devices, including glasses, can become a norm ie. this would not be the sole reason you would use AR for.

I would simply congratulate the engineer for seeing something that I didn't.

Every once in a while something like this happens to me, and I found that being humble is a good way to relax at work.
Given the nature of the HN community, I'm actually surprised by how many pro-college comments I see here. There's maybe a 50/50 split, of pro vs. anti-college sentiment, mostly because colleges are the only place where things like medicine, real STEM, and so forth can be taught.

But I'm floored that college remains such an established institution. With the ridiculous cost and unhelpful nature of a college degree post-graduation (at least for most non-tech/STEM/medicine majors), why haven't universities long since given way to models like Lambda School, but for every discipline?

The amount of people I know saddled with student debt who do nothing remotely close to their major, and who didn't even enjoy studying to begin with, is astounding. And this pattern repeats itself in Europe, though somewhat differently. There, instead of starting companies, people get a 6-year long Masters in Entrepreneurship or Marketing or Business, and go on to work unfulfilling middle-management jobs for stagnant, uninspiring companies.

I'm sure this is a prevalent malaise in Asia and developed parts of Africa and LatAm as well.

I don't think free college would fundamentally solve the problem, which is that college delivers very little value for most, and a lot of value for very few. For most studies, it's no longer a good system (IMO).
It should be mentioned that there are lots of non tax avoidance reasons to go offshore. The biggest ones are asset protection and incontestable estate succession.

IMHO, if your net worth is over about 250k (or lower if you have a high risk profile) your assets should probably be held in an offshore LLC, trust, or foundation. This makes them effectively untouchable by lawsuit, divorce proceedings, seizure, etc.

If you are concerned that your will provisions will be contested or that a lawsuit between siblings is likely when you die, offshore estate management also makes those things impossible.

Since in only costs 1-3 thousand US to set up effective offshore asset management, and maintaining it is 200-1200 a year, it's a small price to pay for peace of mind.
Would it even be ethically possible to run the trials in such a way that they would expect deaths or serious symptoms in the control group?
> On the other hand, most people want a paid world, which is also fine,

that's where there's gonna be some disagreement
> Also, please, stop adding those labels like 'underbelly' and 'right-wing',

Why? Those are the people who shout about this.

> this is corroborated by many national and European polls

Show me some? The polls I saw were ran and published in crap quality (right-wing, underbelly) newspapers and magazines with suggestive questions (something like; 'if we did not have to take in muslims, would that be better than taking them in in huge quantities? I agree/Don't Agree'). But maybe you have other ones; I would be curious what audience they asked.
How would you debug programs using ioring? With the traditional I/O syscalls, one can use tools like strace to observe the behavior of a program.

Would using BPF to instrument the ioring be the way to go?
I agree, I think this is great, and something I will try to use shortly.

1) As I said before, fire is just a chapter in a bigger history

The problem is that we can't survive just with this technique anymore, because we desperately need more forests in a "safety level of rainforest" or close to it, to have any chance to heal the climate. Unless we create a CO2 extracting machine, trees, plants and algae are still our best bet.

This rhetoric of "lets manage ecosystems as they did in the roman empire", maybe could work 200 years ago but now we are in a different situation.

4) Places became arid in part because there is not topsoil anymore, so nobody can grow here enough fast, so there is not water storing creatures anymore. This happens often by past fires followed by rains that first mineralize the soil, then turn it into dust and then wash it down the streams in a mud flood.

Removing mechanically the dry weeds, would have the same effects but without the counterparts.
For me, the spontaneous conversations were always a bit of an annoyance in the office. They seemed to detract from work rather than adding value. This will probably vary from sector to sector - in my sector (finance), I found the adhoc conversations were a distraction, and often ended up on obscure tangents that were rarely useful.

As for fasting. I fast sometimes, but I would not try fasting on a long hike in mountains like Pyrenees. Probably not even Tatras.
I think "magic" is often just abstraction. And while abstraction is certainly necessary to speed up work and declutter the brains of the end users, too much abstraction takes control away and bad abstraction takes the wrong decisions in your name.

If you take a look at how string handling works in most programming languages there is a lot of "magic" going on there. Which isn't a bad thing necessarily, because most programmers don't want to deal with the intricates of strings unless they really have to. The key is that this magic doesn't get in your way and doesn't do too magical things nobody ever asked of it.
As we both live in the same country I think this is a very interesting observation you make.

One thing that the US is really good at is commercial innovation. Case in point: Silicon Valley. And in addition to that all the innovative companies outside of SV, which are quite a few.

It would be amazing if we in Europe could increase our innovation without creating the same economical divide as in the US.

And some more European tech companies wouldn’t hurt :)
> It turns out you can't formalize anything that doesn't have proofs -- in other words, it basically only works for what we'd call "mathematics" or "pure logic". You can't formalize literally anything else in philosophy, at all.

This couldn’t be further from the truth. There is a wealth of logics that have been developed and studied within philosophy, that aim to formalize various philosophical concepts. See modal logics, deontic logics, logics about knowledge and belief, and so on.

I know Qt changed ownership (including being bought by Nokia). Qt Group for sure did not pioneer it as they didn't exist in the 90s. Not the same company as TrollTech.

That is so true! If you have a innovation (especial in the IT field) you run out of Europe as fast as possible.

As a cynic, I'd just guessed that every time they change a work they reset the copyright clock.
The asterisk is basically worthless on this chart. The very premise of a "Mature high-performance high-complexity compiler/runtime" contains 3 orthogonal categories. Common Lisp satisfies all three, and lacks an asterisk.
