I use two pieces of backend software: Django and Hugo. Django is hugely more complex and I have considerably more experience with Hugo... And yet I run into far fewer problems and get stuff done faster with Django.

Hugo has exactly one thing going for it compared to other static site builders: it's fast. I have about 100 pages now and they build in <1second.

Aside from that, it's a pain to work with. The documentation is sparse but serviceable, but the community on GitHub and Discourse leaves a lot to be desired. Grumpy and unresponsive and much more inclined to close your issue or tersely tell you to read the docs than provide help or admit you have a valid feature request/bug report.
FLIF has been integrated has the lossless mode of JPEG XL, the next JPEG standard.
Quantum mechanics is not inherently discrete.

We don't know whether the planck length is fundamental or not, but current models are in terms of continuous spatial and rotational degrees of freedom (in general). The eigenvalues often are quantized, however.
CorePartitionOS: Universal cooperative multithread lib with real-time scheduler
CorePartitionOS is an Operational System for ANY SINGLE CORE PROCESSOR, really lightweight (context ranging from 60bits on 8bits processors), compatible with 8bits, 32bits and 64bits CPUs and MCUs that can virtually work EVERYWHERE.

Behind CorePartitionOS is a powerful implementation based exclusively on C standard principles, without any ASM code, that truly deploys contextualized threads. It offers support for both cooperative and preemptive threads.

It also provides a unique timer-based scheduler, which means you can specify when a thread will be good to go. Note that it is not a rigid real-time OS, instead, the timer controls the context switch procedure soon it is due to be executed and sleeps the processor when nothing is due to be executed.
If you want to opt-in but worry about spam, one compromise can be to temporarily limit interactions to previous contributors only: this way, it rewards people who help the rest of the year.

No. The go files just have "package emailnormalizer" within the go files, so that is the name that you use to reference it, even if the import url is different.
I don’t think it’s explicitly called out as an exception, it’s just a grey area that Apple hasn’t chosen to crack down on as yet.

Microsoft’s CodePush in particular seems like something Apple might decide to block at some point.
Show HN: Copybara GitHub Action (maintain One-to-many repos)
I made this to be able to open-source parts of our monorepo while keeping the rest private.

The result is a tool that allows you to have one monorepo that is the source of truth for as many other repos as you want. It could also be used to create "workspace" repos if you onboard a freelance and you don't want to give him access to your whole mono-repo.

We are using nx as a monorepo tool, here is an example of it using the Copybara Action: https://github.com/olivr/nx-copybara

If you think of other use cases or put together another example you want me to link to from the README, just hit me up here or on GitHub.
my previous employer still runs stuff using corba in 2020, it works surprisingly well.
One might even say they've ... embraced & extended it?
How so? Incentivising people to help (via PR) is great. It's like incentivising people to donate blood or similar "everyone benefits" scenarios.

(Yes, of course, blatant spam doesn't help anyone and is disgusting, I'm talking about in general)
Maybe we need to distinguish “altruistic open source” from “corporate open source”?
I think (A)GPL is great for standalone software, i.e. tools that don't get integrated into a codebase but used as an external service. Databases or your search engine are great examples for that.

For anything that should be integrated into the codebase of your customers I'd recommend a weaker license like MIT or BSD, as most companies shy away from integrating GPL libraries into their codebases for fear of contamination.
How are they different as long as they are not spam? Good contributions are good contributions and help, regardless if there's a crappy t-shirt or not in exchange for them
Yes, we need. I call it "indie OSS" vs "Company OSS".
I am comparing with the best in class of non-VM languages (C). That's what all the multiples mean.

What Java shows (and a comparison of averages per class wouldn't show) is that there is not necessarily a 4x decrease in efficiency as a result of using a VM. It depends on the implementation. And there are quite a few other VM languages that are doing far better than 4x.

Swift clearly demonstrates that native AOT compilation is no guarantee for efficiency. Swift may well have become faster since this study was run (same goes for other languages), but using reference counting for garbage collection will make it very hard to catch up to the best.
NP and thanks for the nice words.
A rare special case where even the extinguish part is welcome
My microwave has one round dial that turns. That’s it. And zero buttons.

It’s fantastic. Turn the dial, and it starts. The farther around you turn it, the more time you get. The scale is clearly marked around the dial with large readable numbers and gives progressively more coarse as you turn through about 340 degrees or so (less than 360).

To abort and turn it off early, just turn the knob back to the zero. Otherwise it turns itself off at the chosen time.

There’s a digital readout that tells the time remaining. Simplest interface ever and none of those nasty washable flat panel buttons, or any others as I said.

It’s a Sharp brand “Medium Duty Commercial 1000 watt” model. Pretty pricey ($269) but very worth it. At the time, I found it on Amazon but I don’t see it on there now. Model R21LCFS. I see it does come up on duck duck go at some other suppliers like https://www.usaequipmentdirect.com/sharp-commercial-medium-d... (not a typo that the link ends in a dash apparently).

One caveat: it does not have any rotating mechanism inside. This has never been a problem except I do sometimes manually rotate food during a long session. But this is super easy because you don’t have to bend down or punch buttons.

ObTV: don’t have one either. Best TV choice imho.
Profiteering using the personal information of consumers.

It is maddening how incompatible with Democracy the commercial surveillance system has become.
Interesting post. We're also building a business based on open-source / open-core software and have managed to build an active Github community around our first product (Klaro - https://github.com/kiprotect/klaro). It's a pretty simple tool that helps organizations to manage consent and protect their user's privacy on their website. We have other, more complex products in the making as well (e.g. https://github.com/kiprotect/kodex - a privacy engineering toolkit). What we found during the development of Klaro is that even a very simple product can require a tremendous amount of work to turn into a functioning product. I think we're almost there now but it took several months of building and refining.

For me, the main benefit of developing in the open is the great feedback and contributions we get from our community. A lot of people have reached out to us based on our open-source work, I don't think this would've happened if we had developed a closed-source tool.
It's like if you would have to ask Google or Apple for permission when you want to open a coffee shop or any other business and have to give them 30% of your profit.

App marketplaces must be a public good and under the surveillance of the public and not controlled by a few old chief executives of Google or Apple.
Yes, not on computers, but on storage as you say. And it is a one time tax on top of the price, not a recurring yearly tax as the license fee would have been.
What you quote doesn't deny "no compatability" of the author… (I didnt say it was THE unification theory of QM and GR, you somehow inferred that, why? i dont know) and irrelevant when the author points out where the overlaps lie (what I quoted last). I could add that quote and it would change nothing as far as I'm concerned what the authors stance is on "no compatability". Hell, even in the second quote even mentions "it is purely classical" in reference to the derivation…

The author also doesn't also think very highly of string theory: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/staff/academic/mhadley...

Whether something is "more progressed" hardly matters in matters that still have many questions and more reflective of a consensus of the time that progresses one funeral at a time.
race based and caste based discrimination are both technically the same and fall into the "racism" category.
We don't know exact dates of course, but looking at the works of mathematics and philosophy that have survived, we know for sure that humans were capable of abstract thought at least as far back as 4-5000 years ago (for example, during the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza), and very likely even 12-13000 years ago (during the construction of the megaliths at Gobekli Tepe, for example). Furthermore, we can assume that some time must have passed between the first threads of abstract thought and any achievements due to it that would stand the test of time, though I don't think we can put any hard estimates on this time.
Only commenting because /wp-content/ - from FB? I had expected better...
Highly depends IMHO. A good bug report that doesn't just says "X happens sometimes" but figures out when and why, or provides in-depth reasoning for what the behavior should be, can be a lot more work than the code fix, or a new feature.
Next up: React to Vue
I feel like the author is not the best spokesperson considering the overwhelming success he's had with open source on a personal and financial levels. It's like those startup success blog posts.

It's also quite idealistic.

For other people open source might start as a desire for better software or just a desire to help but then it doesn't play out the same way. The project doesn't have as much success, the effort is high and the positive feedback low, the user demands or costs unreasonable. Then you draw a line and realise you just created yourself a sort of unpaid internship position where the globe is your boss.

Having experienced something like this my conclusion is that open source in any continuous form is to be seriously avoided.

Yes, I see the scale issues and I don’t have much yet (I assume because I am using createPages it doesn’t use any caching).

At runtime it’s excellent - perfect scores for performance - and using the website is perfect, so I’m thankful that gatsby let me get started quickly and see how good runtime performance can be.

I’m planning to replace it with React’s built in ReactDOMServer (and I can do a simple change detection and rebuild only changed content easily).

Honestly, it will probably be easier then all the hacking I had to do to get gatsby to work the way I wanted.
It’s like if Apple and Google went out and bought land and built a very desirable mall and you want to open up your business in their mall.
We see this with password email reset requests that have deliverability delays.

If the user does not receive the reset email within a few seconds, they submit more reset requests.

Also, there have been several Windows updates that cleared the saved password login info in the browser, and get a flurry of reset requests.
Don't take this personally. Your comment just gave me an itch I had to scratch.

There are some words in people's explanations that always bother me. These are 'just', 'mere', merely' and the like. Why? Because they're not explaining, but explaining away. It's like saying: x is trivial, so it's not as important as you think.

But reality is much more complicated than that. For even simple things are hard to fathom for those not knowing how simple it is.

Now, back to the topic: no, medieval painters' lack of knowledge on how use perspective was not just matter of being stuck at conventions. When everyone is expecting to see a certain thing and you're payed to do that thing, it's not 'just' up to the painter see outside her/his perspective. What I'm saying is that takes a huge leap to break away from all that.

Beware of just explaining away phenomena.
Agree. When Apple Music compete with others, they are not paying 30% fee as other competitors, it gives them a huge advantage and it is not fair for other players. Especially other players entered the market before Apple Music. It is very similar to when Windows bundled with IE actually.
Love the site! The actual entry field is using a non-monospace font though which looks a little off ;)
That's the crux of the matter in the Epic suit, and my point being that Ticketmaster doesn't take a 30% cut in food and drink sales at the venue.
> I assume because I am using createPages it doesn’t use any caching

It's not this - we only used createPages and ran into these issues. It's the ingesting content from contentful or any database that'll continue to grow where gatsby lets you down.
Hello. This is a really fun way to showcase your CV and coding skills at the same time I think. Well done! Starred.

Show HN: Ocean Wave Simulation Using WebGL
For the new yubi keys with fido support I would recommend disabling OTP it massively improved the user experience for me., in difference to TOTP OTP has done fundamental problems.
And fit reasons not affecting many people OTP is implemented by pretending to be a keyboard which is just anoying in many cases.

But all other operation modes (FIDO,FIDO-U2F,PIV, OpenPGP) do not have that problem.

So when possible I use password manager + FIDO(-U2F), where no it's password manager + TOTP using the yubikey (I plug the USB-c yubikey into my phone accessing the keys TOTP functionality through the authenticator app).
How so? Chromium is the single most important reason Linux is now a viable desktop option, with even all of the M$ Office apps, Outlook etc. working as PWAs. Not to speak of i.e. Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, Teams ...
Perhaps they are using contraception because there are disincentives, and they are working.
It seems we agree eg, a paid dev's feature request is not comparable to the paid dev contributing the feature itself via discussion with the maintainer.

Nor is it comparable to the maintainer stopping what they are doing to sit there and provide the feature as if their time was worth less than that of the paid dev who wants to consume it.
That's an interesting distinction. It's like simply documenting that a bug exists versus arguing that a bug exists and should be resolved.

The latter feels similar to making a feature request, which can also be done in Issue trackers like GitHub Issues. Maybe the fact that both the former and the latter are allowed/encouraged to exist within the same tracking systems somewhat contributes to the confusion/conflation of the former with the latter.
Not necessarily. Any monopoly-like situation is unhealthy, no matter who controls the market (remember when Firefox was the king? The apparance of Chrome was a breath of fresh air). What we need is real diversity and power balance.
Only if the large world is irreducible to the world of particles, which doesn't seem plausible.
Wouldn’t it be easier and cheaper to just give away a few shirts at a college event? Or heck, just gift them to everybody.
Are you claiming that the Social Dilemma was likewise alarmist and unfair?
Supermarkets aren't nearly as monopolistic as app stores. A supermarket "user" is free not just in theory but also in practice to use competing stores (and many people really do). Not just that: in most places, there are competing stores, quite a few of them, not to mention alternatives like online deliveries. If a goods producer can mass produce products for a supermarket, they're likely also capable of paying for super-market independent marketing; i.e. they have independant channels of communication with the consumer, and can use tools like MSRP to suggest reasonable prices to avoid price-gouging by the supermarkets, and the difference in customer access to ads by the store or by the manufacturer isn't huge. Additionally, a supermarket provides a valuable service to the producer beyond merely locked-in network effects: transporting tons of goods that last mile and distributing them to individuals requires quite a bit of work.

Compare that to app stores: users are in practice not free to pick another app store, even on android - network effects make using alternatives quite tricky and even risky, and the device/OS maker don't make it easy to pick reputable alternative stores. App stores additionally leverage their monopoly on that user to hide their costs from them; e.g. in apples it's not even allowed to mention the cut apple takes and where you might be able to buy more cheaply - and not just in the store, but even in the app itself, even indirectly! There's no MSRP by which to note that that 30% cut is extortionate. Finally whereas last-mile logistics are tricky for real-world goods, app store checkouts are not; almost the entire value provided is in network effects: i.e. the value is provided by the users of the app store, not the app store itself.

All of these disparate factors mean that app stores clearly are not a competitive market, whereas supermarkets aren't quite as bad. But let's not forget: just because supermarkets are "less bad" than app stores doesn't mean there's no potential for market manipulation; we should be vigilant there too - just that the kind of manipulations supermarkets can pull off aren't going to be quite as impactful.

TL;DR: not only are app stores much, much worse than supermarkets when it comes to harmful market manipulation, flaws in one market do not excuse flaws in another anyhow.
Some areas are pretty much unaffected by earthquakes, like the UK.

The truth about ferrites
It's both a loud minority thing (that's still quite draining to be exposed to) and very unevenly distributed between projects/maintainers. E.g. projects aiming at non-/not-so-technical users often have problems with it, especially if they at the same time are in areas where regular breakage is to be expected (e.g. software to scrape/download from popular websites, 3D printing tools would be my guess for good examples). Some projects with corporate users but no corporate backing can run into the same. But at the same time for other projects it might never happen.
But that's only if they own/operate the venue. And there is commercial separation between the ticketing service and venue.

So it's like you use Google Firebase as the backend for your app and they take a cut under that agreement, as opposed to the Play Store agreement.
It worked very well for many years.

I’m not sure it’s as badly thought as you are suggesting it is. More like someone found a way to game it and promoted the crap out of gaming it (we even know who the someone and their videos are!).

Mainly used for playing games.

The dictatorship was enabled by violation of people's privacy, that's why it managed to survived so long.

Privacy isn't an optional feature you can "chose" to have or even have much control over, it is a basic right that is either violated or honored by those in power.
They are making you associate brands or products with certain lifestyles, beautiful people, or status. This will bias your choices towards spending too much money on things that do quite little for your happiness in the end.
agreed - if this was once a year or something, maybe, but this is slowly becoming a new "right", the right to record anything at anytime - which is madness

Isn't it worst off? It's a meaningful contribution worse off. Do you take the same stance with people who are paid to make OSS contributions?
This seems like a quickfix idea and doesn't provide a good incentive for open-source projects: in that configuration, it requires additional knowledge (of the rules) and work (tags, ...) from repository maintainers, just so some people can get a tshirt, not sure it's worth it.

They should have acknowledged their failure and cancelled the game altogether.
YubiKeys can pretend to be PIV of OpenPGP smartcard ;=)

But yes in e.g. banking the security systems had been created long before there where really good USB based security keys so it's probably most times actual smartcards.

But then it also turned out that many smartcatd drivers are just REALY bad and complex potentially making your system more vulnerable so I can totally see companies switching away from them.
The problem is people aren't incentivized to help, they're incentivized to get free stuff. So people who have no interest in helping are doing the bare minimum to get free stuff, which is a much larger number than the people actually wanting to help.

In your scenario, it would be like incentvizing "donating a vial" and hoping it will be filled with blood, but 99% of people are donating an empty vial.
There's many motivations and circumstances behind the maintainers of open-source projects, and I think this post works off a too simplified & idealized perspective on that. It seems to mostly assume that an open-source project exists because the maintainer wants to make the software the best it can be and is free to do so because they got a nice income from something else and no big challenges prioritizing it against other things in their life.
