I'm amazed that in a global lockdown, where digital communication and connection are more important than ever, that you see only negative benefit to users in Facebook.
If you built everything in proprietary infrastructure, porting is a lot more work.

Using lambdas tie you to AWS because as soon as you use a few step functions, or you have a few lambdas interacting, changing to Azure or GCP becomes a huge pile of dev work and QA.

Having everything "just run" on linux instances let you be perfectly portable and now you can actually shop around.
Personally I like to use Mozilla license for libraries that I think will be popular with large corporations. They have to share any changes to my library code but not their own code if they ship it. Even better would be a Mozilla-AGPL that protects against cloud parasites but doesn't infect unrelated code. For small stuff I don't care and use MIT.
"We have relicenced our software under a more restrictive licence" does not seem like something to celebrate.
These two situations are not equivalent.

A book author has basically 100% market monopoly on his/her books. He can set a high price and people who want to read the works will still pay.

Whereas ride sharing companies interchangeable and are in full competition with each other, which, in a healthy market, should bring the price down to the point where they're all only making a marginal profit. The cost of alternative mode of transportation does not come into equation (well unless it's overall cheaper and better - then it will kill the entire market segment).
Please stop with this FUD. AGPL is written by lawyers and well understood by other lawyers.

I worked with IP/software license lawyers and AGPL works just fine.
Because the code is owned by the company if you're writing it during your job / working hours.
> This is because I want companies to be able to use the software for their internal use but not be able to create a user-facing product out of it.

Why do you think the AGPL can’t do this?
Could you not do them an enterprise license that removes whatever restrictions? They're not struggling for cash
There was a time when the mainstream view on art was led by academia and the political status quo. There was an opportunity to upset the system by producing a collection of artworks that bucked the trend and opposed the powers-that-be. Simply doing that act had power in itself, bringing the new idea into being, had potential for radical social change. The modern era in particular had a few revolutions of thought and art-style. They were social leaders in themselves. Art history goes over them, like Dada, constructivism, ect.

Now anything that breaks the trend is drowned out with money and/or censorship.

The banana taped to the wall a few years ago inspired people to think about how much art costs to buy, and how art is a money-laundering front for rich people. There was little discussion and sight of the original intent of the piece as a humorous comedy. It did not change how people view society, the world or art. It is seen as a clever man who could sell a $2 banana for $120k, rather than a comment on what art means. The piece has been captured by neoliberal economics (as if it ever meant to be anything else).

The video game Hatred [0] was a misanthrophic mass killer who goes on a genocidal crusade. It was banned from steam and panned by reviews. I don't endorse the content of the game, though it perfectly demonstrates the stifling lack of power any particular piece of art has to change people's minds today. You have to be approved by the internet's gatekeepers to be seen and heard. The act of creation has to be matched with the audience interacting with your artwork and a single image of your game does not have the same impact as a Dada artwork did in the 1900s.

>And people play them for completely different reasons then "being rebellious"

I agree (partly). The advent garde is dead, the power is with the tech platforms to change society, not art. So there are no "free thinking creatives", there are just technologists who push internet platforms further and further into people's lives. That's where the "free thought" is. Art is entirely ordered and almost completely chaos-free.

A minor rebuttal, people do like the rebellious aspect of Star Wars, despite it's conformity to everyday art production.
Show HN: Ucollage – a command line image viewer based on Überzug
Last week I started writing a small script to show images from my command line. It quickly grew to something with a little more features.

ucollage is based on ueberzug, so the images drawn are pixel perfect.

I hope you find it interesting.
During covid I've gotten quite bored with my chef (me) and experimented. I thought I was thinking out-of-the-box adding cashews and bananas to things like chili.

But oatmeal and chicken is broadening my mind.

I actually think it makes sense, I've always thought all-carbs-for-breakfast was invented by cereal companies. I've been way better off with something more along the lines of huevos rancheros with refriend beans.
I was faced with the GPL vs AGPL dilemma when I started working on Typesense (https://github.com/typesense/typesense):

I wanted to protect future potential commercial interests without stifling the spirit of open source collaboration and development.

I asked around for advice and eventually just chose GPL over AGPL because a lot of legal teams seemed allergic to AGPL and some companies even had a blanket ban on it.

I also thought that the greatest risk for my project was not an existing or future competitor: it was death by obscurity. To that end, I did not want to slow down adoption by choosing a license that screamed "$$$" or made somebody's legal team uncomfortable. In any case, if a big company wants to copy you, they will and can with the resources they can throw at it.

On the other hand, there are popular projects that do use AGPL (MongoDB) so it might not be that big of a deal in the real world :)
I don't know why, but you might find this interesting: https://hub.packtpub.com/mongodb-withdraws-controversial-ser...
What do you think? Is mainstream physics about to go "oh shit, we didn't take into account that we might be biased. Thank you random person on the internet for pointing this out".
I still dont understand how is this different from autocompletion ? What did the author mean by "shortcuts" ?
This is because I want companies to be able to use the software for their internal use but not be able to create a user-facing product out of it.

Why shouldn't this be possible?
GPLv3 has an explicit permission to link with AGPL, but not SSPL - that means that if you're using SSPL, you can't link it with any GPL code.
I usually prefer text to video tutorials, but for me one of the best introductions to Grid was this video from Mozilla:

Seeing it like that really made me appreciate how much boilerplate Grid could let you cut back on.
The verification app does tell you what the verification request is for. Also you can't really do anything in the bank without verifying yourself again (basically any change/write requires you to approve again)

Basically in the app you see if the verification is for logging in, providing strong auth for some service, approving transfer of X euros from Y account to account Z, etc

In general we have had really well working online banking since the late 90s here in Finland (first versions are actually from the early 80s where you dialed directly to the bank instead of your ISP with your modem). Haven't really heard of any major security flaws ever so they do have a really good track record. This is also why the governments attempt at creating their own strong auth service failed. The banks already effectively provide that and everyone is used to using them.
This articles is a bit silly. History includes the history of creation and discovery. It's possible that much less prominence was given to people who write about creativity than now, but that's just a great sign that enough useful stuff has been invented and developed (creatively) that our economies can support more people who write stuff online for a living.
>When I worked at Google (2014-2018), it was easy to get permission to contribute to open source projects as long as the license was BSD, MIT, or Apache 2.0. The more restrictive licenses like GPL 2 or AGPL, I think Google either flat out denied or you had to do a lot more work to get permission.

Personally, I consider that a feature rather than a bug. There's a list of these licenses [1] and I make sure my software uses one of those on the list.

I have a bag with two balls, one red, one blue. I randomly send one of the balls to Australia, one of the balls to the USA. The moment you look at your ball in Australia, you also know the color of the ball in the USA. How would you use that fact to send information?

The crux with quantum mechanics is that you can show (very easily, understandable by the layman, look up the Bell inequality) that in the quantum case the ball only takes on a color the moment you look at it, and so instantaneously is setting the color in the USA as well.

However, the basic setup still applies. You cannot send information by merely observing something.
No, that's a consequence of the Peano axioms.

Serverless is meant to make bar lower for front-end developer so they don't have to learn the basics about web back-end development and be able to develop apps. I'm very glad if failed!

Show HN: I built a TikTok like video app but only for travel content
Dear HN community! Thanks for taking the time to check out Wandr. We have just released our beta version and are looking to gather videos and feedback to make this product more helpful for travelers!

At Wandr, our vision is to bring you closer to the world. We want to take travelers from travel inspiration to dream destinations as easily as possible. Social media inspires millions of travelers every year, but it doesn't allow them to plan and book travel. We are trying to solve the inspiration disconnect that exists on traditional social media platforms (Instagram vs reality, one might say), and provide a solution for travelers to book and save the experiences they see on social media.

Since traveling has been paused for many people, we wanted to create a product where travelers could relieve their past experiences, while simultaneously inspiring and helping others plan their next trip. By swiping through a feed of videos of your dream destination, and saving the ones that interest you, you can create a trip plan without the headache of visiting 100+ websites before booking.

We’ve had approaches from large corporations that want us to help them so they can sell Plausible Self-Hosted to their tens of thousands of clients without wanting to contribute anything to our project. They offer publicity in return.

Something that needs to be said a great deal more frequently than I see it being said: Corporations are not your friend and they routinely prey upon smaller entities, chew them up and spit them out. This is par for the course. It is not some weird anomaly.

I have never gotten around to successfully putting together a compendium of examples, which frequently frustrates me because it seems fairly hard to google (at least for me) when I want to talk about this and post an article or two to support my assertion.

Small shops routinely talk like getting "some big client" is the small business equivalent of "winning the lottery." Oh, my god. This is generally the exact opposite of the truth.

Small businesses routinely learn this the hard way and many of them either actually go out of business or get smarter and harder just in time to merely have a near-death experience, business-wise.

Small businesses routinely have to change their policies after their first brush with being screwed by some large company.

This is the norm. This is the norm. This is the norm.

This is not some weird anomaly. This is not because you did something stupid or naive. This is how big companies become and remain big companies in far too many cases.

I"m not trying to vilify big companies. Doing business means dealing with the public and making money at it and that's what they know how to do.

I worked for a time at a Fortune 200 company. It was a growth experience and I don't regret working for them and I don't think they are evil.

But when you leave your little cocoon of friends and family and venture forth into a relationship to The Public, this is what you run into and that's their forte. So learn from them. Grow. And, yes, spread the word because more individuals need to hear this early and often so fewer small businesses get eaten.

I think we have a top-heavy system and we need to do more to protect the survival of small shops and medium shops and micro shops. The degree to which big companies prey upon those companies is part of why our economy is so unstable.
If you think about it, it's deeply depressing how much incredibly interesting technology (and cumulative human effort) goes into portable computing devices that have the primary commercial purpose of forcing people to look at advertising.

There's something deeply wrong when the best purpose humanity can find for all the effort that goes into things like 5G and EUV lithography is to use it to keep people addicted to Facebook and unregulated gambling ("game with in-app payment") apps.
> ... the AGPL still allows a company to take the the software as-is, without any modification whatsoever, and run it for their customers as a hosted service, right?

Yes.

In fact, they are even free to take the software, modify it, and run it for their customers as a hosted service. The key difference, however, is that the license requires that they must also let their user's download the source code of their version.

In "Why the Affero GPL" [0], the FSF specifically mentions:

> The GNU Affero GPL does not address the problem of Service as a Software Substitute (SaaSS).

(Here, "Service as a Software Substitute" is the FSF's term for what the rest of the world refers to as "Software as a Service". According to the FSF, it "defines the bad practice more clearly and says what is bad about it.")

Another of the FSF's articles, "Who does that server really serve?" [1], explains the problems with SaaS with regard to open-source software.

I actually have a library that is Mozilla licensed and gets some contributions from the likes of Google, Uber, Airbnb and so on. Mozilla license is similar to GPL in the sense that it also commands you to publish your code in some situations, so I would expect Google to outlaw this license as well, but so far I haven' received any complaints and I don't think the contributors would go out of their way to get permission from higher-ups at Google. Perhaps they didn't notice what terms the Mozilla license implies.

I wonder if writing in a more active, present-tense would be more compelling to prospective clients.

“Eclogiselle primarily serves coastal WA”, “The niche we fill”, etc. Present tense makes it feel more established and less aspirational.

The zip code math and slight shade at 1%ers probably won’t help you sell either; I mention that only because you might be thinking you have to justify your offering or your value prop by reference to something else. I think you’d made your value prop point clear absent the (not totally sound) zip code math.

Ask HN: Which note-taking app are you using currently?
I've come to view use of AGPL as an admission of failure or proof of lack of understanding of how to build a business around open source software. While AGPL is sold as a means for protecting against abuse of a party's good-faith open source work, it defacto signals a transition to a bait-and-switch business model. Most large companies do open source to commoditize the cost of non-differentiating software. How you create value over and above what large companies are already willing to do in such an ecosystem is tough, and few have been able to build as non-services-based value prop. Open source software contributions, be it directly through lead maintainership or indirectly through contributions to 3rd party projects, are best viewed as marketing. You have to have something else to sell.

Neural nets are non-linear. If they were linear, that would be linear regression.

I actually don't get what your point is.
> At one point EU should realize that the US are playing the same game as the Chinese and are really not business friend.

While I (as a German) agree that the US imperialism and dominance in high tech is a problem, I would not go as low and say the US is on the same level as China, which is an outright threat to all core values of the Western nations.
If you used semantic class names you could change the theme with just css.
Your argument doesn’t follow. How would being a software developer be the worst job because they “automate their own work away” when in fact they’d have a job until they automated everyone’s work away? It’s likely a given developer would reach retirement before that happens. Meanwhile tons of other people are out of a job.

This sounds like libraries but with an extra spot where you can be charged money if something breaks.
I think that most of the times they are particular to a domain to solve particular problem. For example Some researcher would have a grant for developing an optical inspection of a circuit board using a camera moving on the 2d euclidean space efficiently is a TSP. You can develop a Polynomial Time approximation scehne(PTAS) to solve it.

At first it's novel then st some point it appears in a book specific to polynomial time approximation schems in books dedicated to the cause. Look at the references in wikipedia. They often point to a larger body of work than what the wiki can possibly hope to cover.
And even if they would know, due to the distance and general relativity, there is no concept of one of the two persons looking first. It could be that from Alice's point of view Bob looked later, while from Bob's point of view Alice looked later. So, in which direction did the information go?

In your case it would be more like "adding" a make-like tool to tie all the steps together rather than "switching away" from anything.

The tool I have in mind is buid2[1] (full disclosure: I work on the project). In this context you would be using it as a portable (and saner) make replacement (though we do have a Rust module in the works but that is geared more toward multi-language C/C++ and Rust builds).

In fact, if you are interested, I am prepared to put my money where my mouth is and code up a demo/prototype for you (without any expectations that the result will be used).

Completely in agreement with you, but relying on short-term fixes hasn’t worked for any issue of this significance that I’m aware of.

> I'd love if there was something company owners and operators did to prevent things like this which are local maximums but globally inefficient (as well as unethical and unfair)

Well, continuing your line of thinking: what's the incentive structure for company owners/stakeholders? And how does it stimulate them to seek global efficiency?

In vernacular, "theory" is completely different from the scientific jargon meaning of a "theory", which leads to people saying "Evolution is just a theory".

Similarly, the economic jargon term "efficiency" is not at all the same as the commonplace definition you used. The economic definition barely covers anything beyond profit maximisation and cost minimisation and is precisely the reason we see so many externalised costs. Companies are "efficient" only in monetary terms, but that doesn't preclude waste, missed opportunities, myopia and environmental or societal fallout.
Hey HN,

For the last couple of months, I have been working on a new interactive course to teach systems programming.
Basically, it can be described as "Khan Academy for low-level coding". It is built with Rust and it uses WebAssembly
and JavaScript to visualize what happens when you run your code. This idea was inspired by Bret Victor's "Learnable
Programming", and you can read more about it in the blog [0]. The code is also publicly available [1].

Any feedback is welcome.

Thank you!
