I think you have misread the article. It says that less than 10% will even have intermediate-term damage. There is no evidence that any significant numbers of people will have long-term, let alone permanent, damage.
Yeah, though a really strict reading of GPLv2's "the scripts used to control compilation and installation" might suggest that it's not, since maybe the source code has to include the signing key to get it onto the device. But I don't think anyone's dying on that hill, they just made a new license.

"There's almost no limits, so if your request is merged into any Open Source repository, you qualify. Amazing." Well, not all open source software is using git, and even some that is, doesn't use GitHub. Also, how do they see if you qualify, really? (Do you need a GitHub account? The linked document doesn't seem to say that, or if it does, it isn't very clear.) (Anyways, I wouldn't want to submit a pull request merely for the purpose of the shirt. I would ignore that when making such a thing. If I get a shirt too (and I do not already have enough shirts, although I think I do have enough shirts), then that is a bonus, I suppose.) (I do not use git myself. I think I have never received any patches to my software, except maybe one, but I do not really remember if it is or not. I have, however, merged in other people's changes when I found them, although these aren't requests. Actually, other people have sometimes merged in some of my changes too despite not being a pull request, too. How will that ever count?) Hopefully, it can be explained better.
Right. Dune also uses that term! https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Atomics
I seriously doubt that would sway any undecided voters, and it certainly won't sway a single decided voter.

It has the potential to throw things into a bit of chaos, and maybe the uncertainty could give them something they could take advantage of. But I doubt it, and I don't buy the conspiracy theories around this.
I wasn't dissing his work. It IS great. What I was trying to say, is that without any training, and by pure self-learning, I have the same skill set. I was replying to the parent comment about needing formal training.

To be honest, we are well beyond hundreds of maintainers that will need to clean up their repos. I've been crawling the "Improve Docs" spam issues since they started appearing.

* 8 spam - https://github.com/easydepot/websiteSwallower/pulls

* 8 spam - https://github.com/tokio-rs/website

Heck, take look at the PRs and commit history of https://github.com/azmat21/UyghurWebsiteCrawler. It's been two days into October, and this repo has gotten 55 PRs. It hasn't ever gotten a single PR before this as far as I can tell.
Well I recall the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson had Covid-19 and was in hospital and on HN it was flagged. It may have been 'news' but it was against the guidelines. This is no different.

The guidelines probably needs to be changed here then.
Same deal here (half), but my last name is noticeably associated (apparently - took me 27 years to learn that). I get someone bringing it up about twice a year I'd say.
So it was a net positive thing, and the suffering of some maintainers are acceptable, just so DigitalOcean can slap its name and claim it helps opensource? Just donate money or something man. Jesus fucking christ.
I think that the difference here is that you'd have to convince hundreds of millions or billions of people to stop having premarital sex, whereas with sugary food the majority is coming from a much smaller group of processed food manufacturers which are relatively easy to target.

"All lives matter" is a natural English sentence expressing the idea that every person's life matters. This is not a particularly controversial idea.

I recognize that it's also a non-neutral political slogan, and that modern speech conventions require people to avoid saying things that sound like controversial political slogans. But that's precisely the problem! I have to keep up to date with all major partisan controversies, a task I generally find quite miserable and pointless, in order to know which new phrases I should avoid!

Another notable feature about those CDC 6600 vector graphics displays was the way that the system would shrink the vector fonts to fit long command lines. Most of the time the fonts were quite big and could be read from a distance without sitting down in front of the displays, but if you entered a long line the letters would suddenly get smaller so that you could fit more on a line. (These displays were two round side by side displays—perfect for playing lunar lander after hours at the comp center).

This was around 1973 and up until that time I had used very few systems that used video displays. Even the time sharing systems I had used up until then were usually hard copy devices that printed on rolls or fan fold paper. Even video terminals were usually line oriented devices and used line editors like sed or teco.

I remember teaching a programming class the following year in grad school and spending a lot of time teaching my students to use line editors like sed since it was so much better than the more commonly used punched cards.

These aren’t the normal political shenanigans, this is legitimate news and should not be filtered.
> Political issues as at least typically have different perspectives to discuss, people-facts do not.

If people-facts do not have different perspectives to discuss, then why would the death of someone (regardless of who they are) be relevant to HN (even though they are routinely on the frontpage)? Or as user "bdcravens" wrote above, then "Articles about Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, or Chelsea Manning would also be subject to those rules", but are also routinely on the frontpage.
Real world usage case - I have a server which handles several thousand telematic devices (telemetry+actuation), split into about 20 different device types. It's small device base so doesn't require multiple servers and we can be really cheap. But requiring to disconnect all devices just to make one small change to one device driver would be painful. Now we can have uptime of over half a year and in that time we had changes/fixes to several drivers. Normally that would require scheduled downtime every week and slow us down considerably.

True, but articles about Chelsea Manning or Julian Assange would also be against those same rules.
Yes please. I think it’s a great idea. Not only would put the politicians in the same situation that rest of us are but also I can’t wait for a debate where every candidate can speak his views without interruptions.
It's being discussed on other sites and channels. It's not intellectually gratifying. Besides the market drop, it might not even be major news.

The linked video is from an organisation funded by the fracking industry that has a reputation for promoting climate change misinformation that benefits the fossil fuel industry.

The conclusion in google's page has nothing to do with bugs and failures. They mention how it would be better to use it but for practical reasons (read big legacy code base) it isn't feasible.

IBM's z/OS UNIX System Services is very nearly this. Many UNIX systems have tons of utilities that more resemble BusyBox than GNU coreutils, and AFAIK no C compiler is anywhere near as compatible with GCC as clang (including, notably, slightly older versions of GCC itself).

But AFAIK z/OS is the only UNIX[1] variant that offers a "POSIX" environment

Where no subset of the native character set even resembles ASCII.

Where "everything is a file", but where many of these "files" — including, notably, both shared libraries and executable programs — are mostly inaccessible using anything resembling traditional byte-oriented UNIX utilities, library functions, and system calls.

Where process creation is not only "not cheap", but where it can in fact be so cripplingly expensive vis-à-vis conventional UNIX systems that the z/OS designers have (wisely) not only resurrected something akin to the traditional meaning of the "sticky bit" on executables, but have also made extensive provisions to allow both "subshell" scripts and executable subprocesses to be created within one's own address space, both via system calls and from within the POSIX shell itself[2].

On a related note, I was thinking the other day that an "evil", yet at least minimally standards-compliant filesystem in the spirit of your system might actually useful to have around for testing. Or, if not, would at least be fun to design.

Think a filesystem that imposes random per-directory length limitations on filenames and or file sizes, and occasionally allocates space for files in terms of random, per-file allocation unit sizes just because it can.

Or imagine a filesystem that flushes the overwhelming majority of data to disk promptly, but which also maintains a large "evil cache" containing a few blocks out out of the middle of every few million write calls that is flushed as infrequently as is permissible by the relevant standards.

And why let previously-allocated free space go to waste when, given careful planning, its contents could be used to present stale, yet technically "valid" data to applications that use I/O operations whose ordering with respect to one another is not formally defined for IPC (e.g., POSIX only explicitly defines ordering between its own read() and write() calls, so I/O by any means not passing through particular versions of these functions explicitly designated as POSIX-compliant can, in terms of standards-compliance, be "safely" ignored).

And so on.

Nope. As the parent comment said, there is lack of guidance and mentorship. Many people are unaware of the spam they are creating and genuinely believe what they are doing is acceptable.

Culturally, India is not really homogenous so I can't say anything for the 1.34 billion people but at least in the region I live in, cheating is normalized since first grade. Be it contests, exams or any other status games. Shortcuts are encouraged. There is little incentive for anyone to play fair. Schools want to look good on paper and competitive so they help students cheat, pay for false advertisements and enrollment. Parents do the same and well, kids will learn it if you incentivise that.

For the job seeking, it's pretty much desperation and high unemployment rate.
I guess you really are arguing against something purely because you associate it with "the r word".

Your argument is: "if you apply x to y, you get z, therefore x is always bad". Complete lack of critical thinking, and purely an emotional reaction to z.
Spicy is right though.

Whatever the movement is 'trying to do' is not the point so much as 'what will happen' because of the incentives and thinking process (ie risk mitigation) at most companies.

Most of these licences are untested in court and that's a very bad thing for everyone. So in a way, a bunch of clear and settled cases would provide the 'best path forward' because then we'd know where the lines are - but - a bunch of 'weird outcomes' that cost other companies bazillions would probably hurt a lot and it will strike fast. You won't be able to get your investment if your flirting with a situation in which some other corp got banged for $2B, even if technically you are in the clear.

It's probably a very bad idea to 'sue for money'. The objective of the legal cases should be 'clarity' and the cases should be chosen on that basis if the open source community really wants to thrive.

I see a very common misunderstanding of Stoic thought in this thread. It doesn’t advocate passivity. As a matter of fact, the Roman Stoic school was a school of many doers and had a very cosmopolitan outlook.

Stoicism simply advocates an indifference to things outside of your control. You should not be perturbed by your emotions; your perceptions and reactions are the roots of your suffering. In our reality, and Cicero’s before, old age and death are inevitable. That does not mean we cannot attempt to prevent it or research a “solution” to it. It simply means in the interim our opinion of it should not perturb your inner peace (easier said than done!). The one thing you almost always have control over (forgiving biochemistry :D) are your opinions about things.

If that research was fruitful, then it _would_ be something in our control and the Stoic evaluation of it would change. Cicero‘s comments here are contextual and, I might add, beautiful.
This doesn’t justify the practice. If my clients were racist, should I be allowed to only hire white people?

llvm-mca (https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-mca.html) is an invaluable tool for this, by the way. It has a steep learning curve if you're not familiar with modern CPUs' instruction scheduling/pipelining quirks, but if you really need to micro-optimize some hot spot in your code, it will expose to you all the necessary information to do so. In particular, the timeline view feature visualizes the execution state of a series of instructions quite nicely.

Agreed. This is selective censorship by the HN moderators (which is fine, as it's clearly up to them as to what's deemed important here, but the rules for being flagged need to be more clear in this manner then).
It’s censorship, I didn’t make any judgments about when censorship should be allowed/encouraged. It’s just the literal definition of censorship and you’re being defensive because you think it’s a bad thing.

The downside distribution is more punishing on the low end. For people who need to pay rent, buy food, and pay medical bills, a 90% probability of losing half your wages is generally not worth a 10% probability of making 7x your wages.

That's because the less money you have, the more valuable a dollar is.
Elaborate? I'm not sure what your point is.
I am not a Java developer by trade, but I do a lot of C# stuff and the languages are somewhat similar.

So with that in mind I imagine a byte type being useful for reading / writing binary formats [0] (e.g. for sending small amounts of data over a network). A byte or short type can also be useful for using bitfields [1]. In some use cases you might want to use a small type to store the flags (e.g. if you don't need 32 flags, it seems a waste to use a Int32 type).

I have come mostly to the same conclusion. UI specific state (eg a flag to store whether the left panel is folded) should be as local as possible.

When you have some functional data (the lisk of tasks in a todo app) then putting that in the React context and injecting it in the UI blocks that need it is the simplest way as long the injection part is well separated (using something like unstated.next).

There is some grey area between the two but with this methodology I have never felt the need to use redux or mobx again.

The last time I had to use mobx I was bitten by the rough edges of the decorators.

With the risk of sounding cynical that sounds like business talk for "we need a corporation so that ...we can do things". Again why is it that they are unable to develop Firefox under a Foundation structure?

Why could they have not done the deal with google via the foundation? If it is a tax aspect why could they have not created a corporation just to handle the financial deal without all the overhead structure of execs and board C-levels?
