By the way, what I find weird is NO Linux modification (DE/WM theme or whatever) marketed as a Windows XP (or Windows 98) clone ever actually looked close to the original - every single one looked a rough parody. I wish there were some really good...

Even today the default Raspbian LXDE could look less ugly if they could make taskbar-based launcher and tray icons slightly smaller (kind of like in Windows 95-XP) rather than 100% taskbar height, but they won't.
So?

That's not a rhetorical question. xwdv seems to have rejected moral purity as a driving principal or at the very least (being more charitable), has stated that people who wish to be successful should reject moral purity as a driving principal.

I don't quite understand the argument, since it seems to rest on something the OP has already cast aside.
The Apple III is actually a pretty interesting machine as far as older 8-bit systems go, and it includes some unique hardware features to work around the limitations of the 6502 CPU:

- The machine supports a maximum of 512 kB of RAM.

- The 6502 zero-page can be relocated on the fly to anywhere in the 512 kB address space.

- Certain 6502 addressing modes can access the entire 512 kB address space without bank switching, where it otherwise would only be able to access 64 kB.

- The area of RAM reserved for the operating system and device drivers can be protected from regular apps.

- It also includes built-in RGB video at 280x192x16 colors, and a 6-bit DAC for sound.

But even without the initial reliability problems the machine probably didn't stand a chance in the market.

It fell in the trap of being simultaneously too much computer (too expensive for what it does) and not enough computer (not powerful enough for its rather complicated operating system). And its 8-bit architecture would be quickly eclipsed by 8086 and 68000-based machines, so it was both state of the art and outdated at the same time.

Apple was right in that they needed a machine that was significantly more powerful than the Apple II, but their timing was off and the architecture was wrong. The IBM PC did a much better job of hitting the sweet spot of price vs. power vs. complexity.

> For example, inserting a value which is too large for the target data type - it truncates the value

I commented in another thread about this. It's not black or white whether that's a bug or a feature since:

1) not truncating causes the whole row to be rejected in Postgres, or with the relevant MySQL server setting

2) for many SaaS and social media apps, truncating that column type is fine, since typically that's a description field

3) auto-truncation means you don't have to sync your app and database schema after every change.

I prefer and rely on MySQL's behavior actually, even though I work with both MySQL and Postgres.

NICE manipulates true scientists, though I recall a NICE director bemoans their concentration of linguists and lack of philologists, another compliment to Tolkien.

The propaganda portrayal was disturbing. NICE is shown writing populist dreck for the equivalent of the Mail, and at the same time, publishing densely worded scholarly essays, to achieve the same manipulation in different groups of people. It is remarked on that the readers of the intelligent publications are further manipulated into liking the material aimed at them by the existence of the populist material, as they are eager to demonstrate their intellectual superiority by reading credulously publications they seem superior.

In a moment of serendipity, I was just finishing up a tiny project prompted by a moment of nostalgia: installing a Windows XP system under VirtualBox and getting the internet working on it.

I always had fond memories of Win2k and WinXP and I wanted to know if my feelings today would match what I remembered, or if I was just seeing the past through rose-coloured glasses.

I couldn't get IE to co-operate with modern browsing bar a few websites, I'm assuming this was to do with SSL. I did get Firefox 41 .0 working a few minutes ago and immediately went to HN to test it (as an easy https-enabled text-based website) only to find this to be the top post.

For those curious, clicking Help -> Is this copy of Windows legal? goes to a 404 [0] page in IE.

To answer my own question: Windows XP feels incredibly more user-friendly and accessible than the version of Windows 10 that I bailed from to Linux. I don't know how much of that is familiarity and how much is actual difference, though I did use Windows 10 far longer than I did Windows XP before finally deciding it's not working for me.

Why are there two control panels? Why do I have to move the mouse all over the screen to click something because the OS uses a weird mix of desktop-oriented and touchscreen-oriented design? Why do I have to dive into the guts of the system to disable the invasive features that track me and send my information to Microsoft?

Opening Windows Media Player prompted me with some privacy options such as obtaining licensing info and sending diagnostics back to Microsoft, each of which were clearly explained and had to be toggled on/off in the setup. It was so clearly out of the norm at the time that they went out of their way to make it visible. I feel like today it would not even warrant a mention, bar locales where that's required by law.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but with WinXP it feels like I own the system. The customer-merchant relationship is clear. I paid Microsoft money, they provided me with software and now I am using it. 15 years ago I never would have though to consider that a company whose software I use would be selling my personal data to figure out exactly what kind of ads I should see.

Using Windows 10 now feels like a constant battle between me and the company that sold me the software ("do you want to enable Cortana? can we send your keyboard input to our servers? can we update your system without permission unless you have an enterprise account? can we, can we, can we...")

I'm not RMS. I don't care if companies use binary blobs to distribute drivers or collect basic usage info without full disclosure. Yet I still feel the pendulum has swung too far and its momentum continues to push it in the same direction. In both UI design and privacy.

I'm glad that there are still a vocal group of enthusiastic people that are keeping the spirit of FOSS alive, but I'm concerned about the commoditization of our information.

Phew, sorry, I got really bloody off-topic. Great website! It didn't work on my WinXP VM under Firefox or IE but it did work on my Linux system. Congrats!

Have you tried Notational Velocity?
So your company will have:

- one guy building the product;

- two executives;

- another full-time guy "providing information from within the industry and leveraging his extensive network".

If your executive team doesn't have industry knowledge or a network (since they're hiring a guy full-time to provide that), and isn't building the product (that's you), what exactly are they doing, and why do you need two of them?
Seems like a good article, but could you edit to use the original title? The rules suggest it, and I think it will be flagged off if left as is.
I don't think this fully appreciates the consequences of revoking a Developer ID code signing certificate.

If a Developer ID cert is revoked, then all software ever signed with that cert is disabled on every Mac in the world, as soon as the Mac checks OCSP, which is likely to be the next time the software is launched. Revoking a Developer ID cert is a death sentence for signed software.

Thus, basic housekeeping is not a justified reason for revoking a certificate. The express purpose of the Developer ID program was for security, and security is the only reason to revoke a Developer ID certificate. It's an extreme measure, to be taken only in the worst case scenario.

Apple has a remote kill switch for all signed software on the Mac. They need to be extremely careful about when, if ever, they flip that switch. Almost all known cases of a Developer ID cert getting revoked is when the owner of the cert was a malware author.
Iced https://github.com/hecrj/iced and Druid https://github.com/linebender/druid

Iced is taking the "get something working now" approach, whereas Druid is taking the longer term "build it right" approach. I wouldn't recommend either of them for serious projects yet though.

I would also recommend Raph Levien's blog https://raphlinus.github.io/.

You can tweak size for icons and the taskbar in the panel settings, AIUI. It's relatively easy to give LXDE or Xfce that kind of "classic" look.
Yeah, just use a real broker like Schwab.
Backtesting a driving model, it’s very hard to tell what would have happened, had the car deviated at all from what the driver did.

e.g. You see the driver swerve for no apparent reason, did the driver simply drive more recklessly than the car would, or did they avoid an obstacle the model didn’t catch?
If youtube-dl fails then I will resort to using the latest version of uGet since it does not rely on youtube-dl as a backend.

uGet is not flawless, there have been some instances where the audio of a downloaded video does not work. The default resolution downloaded is 360p, this can change this in the settings.

> This is total nonsense.

No it's not.

> The code was licensed, publicly, under AGPL.

Yeah, and unless they depend on similarly licensed code that imposed restrictions on them (in which case someone should mention this to the maintainer in the beginning so he knows he has a legal obligation he's not fulfilling), it can be taken down and/or licensed differently moving forward however the contributors want to, without them owing you, me, or anybody else a notification or explanation.

Even whom exactly that set of people is is not your business (nor mine). They may well not even want to divulge their relationships with each other to you, and they would have every right not to want to. You're neither a party to the matter, nor their lawyer, nor part of law enforcement, to try to seek justice on their behalf. If you're trying to be helpful, you can notify them privately and let them deal with it, or see if they want you to help. If they have a problem, they'll follow up. If they don't, that's the end of it. You can save your pitchfork for problems you're actually a party to.

> Like the GP said, they could have easily said it's based on the AGPL code and they have consent

Or they could have not, because it's quite literally their business, and not your business to intervene (or mine).

> but you seem to be OK with the maintainer lying that it's a total rewrite.

No, this is what's complete nonsense. There are a heck of a lot of things I'm not OK with in this world, but I hold my peace on most of them and let those who are responsible deal with it. The fact that you don't see me trying to publicly crucify everyone who's ever lied to me does not mean I'm OK with people lying. It just means I don't think that every time someone does something wrong it is or should be my business to take justice in my own hands and get the rest of the world to publicly wreck them.

Computation cannot be reduced to simply functions, that’s why we need something like the lambda calculus to express computation. There are functions within the calculus, but to say that “computation is a function” is not correct.
Your post is totally incoherent, and you see everything backwards.

Objective national and foreign commenters consider Trump to be the best US statesman in the 21st century, from his corona travel ban, to understanding the need for a wall, to his handling of the CCP. They credit Trump with understanding and grappling with issues that no other politican is capable of gaining traction with.

And the left is burning down US cities, not Republicans or the right.

The US is the greatest and most powerful country in history, and for a large country is unique in how little racism there is.

But leftists can't admit to reality.

I'd like a reason as to why this is flagged. Everything I said is verifiable.
I think that can often be due to a lack implementation skill.

Our users (https://usebx.com) seem to appreciate the native performance and feel of our web app.
They may not care about how much RAM it is using, but the blatant disregard for resource usage manifests in other ways. Most people I know are just resigned to believe their 4GB RAM laptop will be obsolete in a few years. When things "get slow" it means chuck the whole computer. I do think that the recklessness to which we use our virtual resources contributes to e-waste, which is a physical problem.

TL;DR with a good chunk of time and maybe packing (nay, rebalancing?) the courts.

In the US, even if a vaccine comes it will take several years to roll out such that we cannot immediately go back to “normal”. Given its current performance, I do not believe the current administration and its party to be capable of effectively distributing a vaccine. I also suspect a modest portion of the population supporting this party will not consent to such a vaccine under any circumstances.

(Warning: political speculation partly driven by election anxiety)
“Wait,” you say, “there could be an administration change soon, what if that happens?” Unless the Senate is secured–such that a bill could be passed through reconciliation–the aforementioned party will return to the same diehard obstructionist form as we saw the during the Obama administration (even if many agree with the contents of the bill McConnel would never allow a vote). It will be up to the executive branch to issue executive orders in order to distribute the vaccine. This is not guaranteed to be effective either. Whatever the order is it will immediately be challenged in court only to be struck down as “grossly unconstitutional” thanks in part to the three most junior justices of the Supreme Court, wherein (I suspect) their opinions on executive power apply only to presidents of the party that appointed them.

I would expect similar legal challenges and outcomes even if the senate majority is Democrat. See the Affordable Care Act, wherein the existential legal challenge _National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius_ decided that it is constitutional (by the skin of its teeth 5-4 Roberts in the plurality.) Which, by the way, I would not count on it being constitutional after opinions are issued from the upcoming Supreme Court term so the count of uninsured will skyrocket sometime next year, great time (/s) to deliver a vaccine through a for-profit healthcare system. Elections matter.
The fact you can just run it without installing anything makes up for a lot of faults (doubly so when the vendor isn't Microsoft but somebody nobody's ever heard of).

In the context of the Löwenheim–Skolem theorem and "Skolem's Paradox", what does it mean for 'the domain of a model to be countable'?

My only guess is that the number of 'objects and/or relations' in the model forms a set of countable size.

Contrast this with the size of the objects in the model. e.g., if you have a set of countably infinite cardinality where the elements might be sets of uncountably infinite size.
There is a remarkable difference in Jony Ive's approach towards design and Dieter's despite of his inspiration (OSX calc, iPod, etc.). For e.g., Dieter truly explored texture of the surfaces not from an aesthetic goal, but as a tool to aid functionlism (knobs have knurling, sliders have striations, grippy things had rough texture, areas that shouldn't be touched were gloss). Jony just made things beautiful that sold well because that's what sells. That's what luxury brands do.

He threw away the german functionalism that Dieter is so well known for, and adopted the hollow aesthetics of his work. Jony was obsessed with how a thing looks more than how a think works (besides the fact that Apple mouse is horrendous to use, it at one point had a charging port under the mouse). He ignored and still to this day ignores ergonomics, transparency, affordances, feedback and many aspects of design that are fundamental to designing a product that interfaces with humans. Instead of looking up to the challenge to make products more usable whilst keeping a consistent coherent aesthetics, he prefers to hide things or flat out omit important features so that the design is clean. He almost had an authoritarian role at Apple - engineering had to bow down to him.

About the only thing Jony Ive did with Dieter Rams was adopted minimalism for the sake of aesthetic goals. Dieter would never design a clock that had a transparent face, made legibility poor and had white numerals on clear glass (which does not guarantee contrast): https://watchesbysjx.com/2013/10/jaeger-lecoultre-newson-atm...

Jony Ive IMO is one of the worst designers in modern history despite of his success.
