When there have been a confrontation with a company that will willingly break the law in order to get money and people which intent is to get source availability, the outcome has been no source and no compliance.

In every confrontation between people, strategies need to adapt when goals fails to be achieved. Even if the goal of McHardy has been to get money, the effect of that strategy might produce more compliance with source than the past strategy of SFC.
A statistic is a calculation. Are you saying that the result of a calculation can be racist?

It can be produced with a racist intent, or it can be interpreted as such. You can talk of the result of the calculation in a racist way, or derive racist conclusions from it. But per se, it cannot be racist. And you cannot decide to ignore the result of a calculation because you don't agree with the discussion or the questions it generates.

EDIT (rate limited): as for your other answer "By saying "Aboriginal people just commit more crime" you are declaring that race is a relevant factor..." you are confusing correlation with causation. Or you are assuming that I might be confusing them.
Also, there are many cars that can fit 3 baby-seats / car-seats in the back seat. Has that always been the case, or is that a new development?
> Are these features lacking?

Well, as I said I see them in flatseal so either flatseal is misleading or the features are there, and I have no reason to think flatseal is trying to deceive me so I assume they are there.

> I don't need any of these to access anything outside a specific directory (or a small selection of such, but I don't need them to access the full home dir, let alone the full root fs, even for reading).

Fire up flatseal and change the permissions to what you want it. I'm sure you can also petition for xdg-code directory or something and then keep all your code there and request the packages be changed to default only work under there but I suspect most people would not be so happy with this.

I am not sure how you expect the package maintainers to know where exactly on your FS you keep your code, I also don't keep mine in my home directory.

And maybe a blacklist would make sense, but if all that is needed is a blacklist then I would harldy say that flatpak failed because it is not really that difficult to fix that deficiency.

EDIT: Actually blacklisting is supported, see --nofilesystem in https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/flatpak-command-reference...

So really everything is there, maybe everything is not available in a nice neat UI, maybe the UX is not what it should be, but the core underlying system is not "lacking" these capabilities AFAICT.
Thanks for sharing them.
MobX works well when paired with a Rx-like library for the more complex cases. With that its never necessary to chain reactions.
Well, didn't say it's easy but if you app supports containers, CI becomes a lot easier.

You only have to test 1 system configuration and you can easily script building your app based on this configuration.

My life is certainly easier since I've packaged several apps into docker containers, even if it was a pain to get started on that.
Ask HN: What is an acceptable latency for a web load balancer?
We use an external company for network management. They've put a Citrix ADC load balancer in front of our web servers, which is also terminating TLS. I'm not sure if it was always like this (before I joined the company) but downloading a 1000 bytes file via HTTP takes ~15ms while the same file via HTTPS takes at least 110ms. The external company ignores this and claims that SSL termination is expensive. I can understand a few ms, but clearly 100ms is rubbish.

What do you think folks?
> I want to work in security but I don't have the credentials.

Well, you got to start somewhere! I burnt out from front-end development last year and decided to pivot into security. There are plenty of entry-level certifications you can start looking at if you want to explore this area more:

- Security+ from CompTIA

- eJPT from eLearnSecurity

- OSCP from Offensive Security

Don't let your past outcomes with vulnerability disclosure dissuade you from continuing if this field really interests you. Many people have received the short end of the stick through public disclosure programs. But it's a drop in the bucket compared to many of the other amazing things you can do here.
Not enough time. Life on Earth, as we know it, has less than a billion years left.

Now, cockroaches might evolve impressively!

More seriously, humans will soon escape this particular rock, and things will look a LOT different. Smart people are optimistic.

There is a workable, brute-force solution to climate change if needed - orbital sunshades. We'll also have enough energy to supply the galaxy with diamond semiconductor substrates, carbon fiber, nanotubes, buckyballs, and the myriad other useful substances and items made from carbon extracted from the atmosphere. Again, if needed.

Market forces, with a nudge from government, are moving things in the right direction (electric cars, renewables, nuclear power, natural gas). China and India are the main worries at this point, as they have a lot invested in coal at the moment.

We'll have a better idea about negative feedback from existing natural systems over the next few years, there's some reason for optimism there. This is a highly nonlinear system.

Another way of saying this is that flatpak and snap try to solve what's ultimately a social or policy problem by technical means. Building an abstraction layer like flatpak does necessarily entails a lot of complexity for at best a 90-percent solution; for instance, you still have to worry about what version of flatpak or xdg-desktop-portal each distribution has.
>is certainly not constructive

Digital Ocean is not a student under our guidance that we owe a supportive feedback style. They don't even behave like a peer where things can be discussed eye to eye. They interact like a business: as if they're correct and infallible until sufficiently proven wrong that their face is covered in egg.

>posts like "Finally, and most importantly, we can remember that this is how DigitalOcean treats the open source maintainer community, and stay away from their products going forward." is certainly not constructive

That's entirely constructive advice... for the end consumer. It is smart to remember the results of a business' prior actions when you consider future dealings with them. Even if they're all well-intentioned and lovely people that wielded their one-to-many relationship poorly.

>I take real issue with all the vitriol.

The mirth of a "shitoberfest" twitter account and consumer advice in a blogpost aren't all that vitriolic, what they are is simply not friendly to DO.
Speaking as a user, not a dev, I don't really understand what you are referring to. There are "multiple" solutions, namely 2 (two). Both of them work on all distros, so I could not care less which one you pick.

Same for desktops, again there are two: gtk-whatever and qt-whatever. All software works on both of them, so again I don't care.

Same for installing software. Installing Wolfram Mathematica is literally downloading one file, clicking on it and pressing Enter a few times.

If anything iOS and its appstore showed that the repo model is great and there is a reason why microsoft developed/copied "winget".
This is interesting, do you happen to have a reference? I couldn't find anything by a quick google search.
The exactly same goes for Brazil. Am I seeing a pattern here, i.e. countries that are supposed to be great but really aren't?

No, it does not, and this very article reveals why on a desktop environment. If the "solid and predictable baseline system" you used contains even a slightly different version of the input method library the user is currently using, then the user can no longer type _at all_ in your fancy application. Same thing for a myriad other integration points users are expecting in a desktop program. Drag and drop? Running the default program for X service? Window manager decorations? Etc.

The user might as well just be forced to run your "solid and preditactable baseline system" as his desktop system.

Containers may be massaged to work on servers because at the end of the day most interaction between server programs happens using TCP/IP (sigh). This is an entire different story with desktop programs.
I’m not pushing a view on racism, I’m saying that the OP’s statements are clearly racist. I just applied the dictionary definition of the term.

I never said that racism was white/black, but I was writing specifically in the context of European racism against Aboriginals in Australia, which happens to be fairly black and white. I’m happy to discuss racism in other countries, but that wasn’t the topic at hand.

Of course it matters what white people think about racism. But it doesn’t hurt to get the opinion of those who are actually harmed by it, does it? I mean I have never had the misfortune of experiencing racism first hand, so if I say something that an aboriginal person considers racist, that’s something I would want to take very seriously.

I never said “we” aren’t qualified to say what is racist. What I’m not so confident about, when specifically talking about aboriginal people, is claiming that my statements are not racist.

Overt racism is pretty easy to spot, but just because I try to be considerate doesn’t mean that the things I say in good faith can’t nevertheless be racist.

Keeping an open mind and listening to how others feel is more important than my biased opinion.

Trash commit freqs, unlike crime stats, are filtered not through institutions but through one's own mind. Granted, one can carry a lot of biases in what they look at and what they notice, but this issue applies to all heuristics in general.

That said, I used to carry a lot of… biases against Indian developers since that's what all the Chinese programmers talk about on Weibo and Telegram. I have seen a lot of impressive folks since then, so I don't really have that particular generalisation any more.

Heck, Chinese ppl would do the same 薅羊毛 thing if our mail service was less shitty. We even have js devs charging people in cash and stars for documentation. That's what you learn from living in no community.

That's subjective. IMHO the Linux UX (including both usability and aesthetics) has been improving steadily during the last 20 years as I've observed it. And the only reason I use Linux (Manjaro with KDE Plasma) is my experience is "like Mac but better" (perhaps it's worse in some aspects I don't know).

I'm not believing it. Those folks are using Android boxes, but they're not from Google.

To be fair - if you make a website named flatkill you're signalling you don't want a dialog with the developers, and just expect them to throw in the towel and call it quits.

Later edit - just to be clear, it's the kill part that I have a problem with. For example, name it flatrepair and developers will likely see your statements as something constructive.

A request about the page, rather than the content: please remove the preloader (element with ID preload), all it does is slow down page load and cause problems if the relevant JavaScript doesn’t load (whether by deliberate user choice or just because things don’t always work smoothly). There used to be reasons, however dubious, for such loading indicators, but those reasons are all roughly obsolete now.

1) They don't need to be put in a special directory to work.

2) AppImage is the most prevalent implementation of this concept in Linux (and it is indeed great).
Why is it sloppy?
The question of whether you use O or Theta is just that the one gives an upper bound only, and the other one ensures a tight bound (usually many people write O, when they mean Theta, which is not wrong, but is also doesn't tell you as much; in the end, it's mostly clear what is intended though).

That doesn't mean that you can't use either notation to refer to a worst-case or an average-case (given a suitably defined probability distribution) performance. To say "expected complexity for hash table lookup is O(1)" is neither wrong, nor sloppy.
You right, just like here, on HN, with this comment that I'm writing you all right now, hoping that it won't get downvoted, or that I won't get laughed at, because I'm smart dammit, and I have 1300 points that I don't want to lose.
As an Australian, I find that perspective awful. Going to jail is the punishment society has chosen for the crime. Once you've served your time, you rejoin society on an equal footing. Denying jobs to ex-cons makes it much harder for them to integrate back into society, and increases the recidivism rate. (Which you pay for via taxes.)

The equation isn't "bad person -> steals". Its "person maladapted to society / with unhealthy community -> steals". Why would someone be a thief if they have a stable job and community?

And how do you expect someone fresh out of jail, with no connections and community, to make a stable life for themselves if nobody will give them a job?

> A common example would be profiting from cultural developments or ideas from cultures that had been historically looked down upon or disadvantaged by your own, particularly when doing so in a disrespectful manner.

I have two problems with your constraint "from cultures that had been historically looked down upon". How far back do we have to look? This might seem obvious between Europe and African countries. But if you look far enough you will find African invaders (Hannibal of Carthago) passing the Alps. I am convinced if you look far enough you will find instances where every culture frowned upon another. So, this criteria is open for interpretation. What is serious enough? How war back do we look? Therefor your constraint "from cultures that had been historically looked down upon" is far from trivial to apply.

Secondly, does that mean that I am responsible for the wrong doing of my ancestors? Does the question whether something is morally right if I do it depend on the behavior my ancestors? How far back do we go? Should we send children to prison for the crimes of their parents? Obviously, I am playing devil's advocate, here. But I am strongly against inconsistent standards.
> The murder of effective discussion and thought.

If we limit ourselves to this sentence then I agree wholeheartedly, and it’s a bigger problem than just politics. For example, many scientists in Sweden simply don’t agree that Richard Feynman’s description of the scientific method is a fairly good one. Fewer and fewer people seem interested in learning anything, but that doesn’t stop them from claiming to know everything better than the giants on who’s shoulders we used to stand. Fundamental concepts (like the scientific method) seem to be losing their meaning, being replaced with just ritual.

It really has not, flatpak is not madness. It has issues, they are finite, they can be fixed, they should be fixed, but it is not madness. It is better than AppImage or just running random binaries you find or compiling it yourself.

What is the argument there, that I can't point to Japan as an example of Malthusianism because you don't believe in Malthusianism?

There is a physical limit somewhere. Just because we didn't find it in the last hundred years doesn't mean we won't in the future. Real growth in % terms eventually stops because it hits a physical limit; that isn't a controversial idea. It is almost too obvious to state. Humanity can't maintain 1% Year-on-year growth in crop yield indefinitely. At some point; the improvements stop. The longer the improvements have been going on for the more likely it is they will stop.

I don't get the link between privacy and freedom of speech. I can have private thoughts and private behaviors that don't necessarily have to do with speaking. In fact, many aspects of privacy have to do with what one does and thinks and not with what one says.

Or freedom of speech is related to privacy (by the author) in a way that I can surely upload a video to Youtube telling that my neighbor cheats his wife because of my freedom of speech?

Because in that case "my rights (freedom of speech) end where my neighbor's rights (privacy) begin" rule applies and that is, I believe, granted.
Star Wars: Squadrons is as good (and as hard) as flying an X-Wing
I can understand and relate to the point you raise. Constructive criticism and self retrospection is a key marker of any progressive society. The slight caveat is that each society is in a varying state at any given time. India has gone through a full circle from peak, to trough to hopefully a rising future. At this stage of the society, confidence is very fragile and mindset conflicted across the glorious to the defeated to the hopeful. This why you see the spectrum of emotions. As with personal image and attitude being sculpted for success, a nation's image and attitude need to be sculpted for success too.
