I think the skepticism and criticism of this project is reasonable, given the marketing. Look at it: https://dahliaos.io/

> a modern, secure, lightweight and responsive operating system, combining the best of GNU/Linux and Fuchsia OS

The initial announcement and first couple years of development of linux had no logo or website or anything. Let's compare:

> a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones

I usually just move on without comment ... but I'm kinda annoyed by the trend of the "npm generation" to have all this slick marketing bluster for experimental "just for learning" projects. Go ahead and compare to https://gcc.gnu.org/ - much less slick, much less marketing bluster, much more important project.

This dahliaOS has apparently recently joined the Open Invention Network "joining the likes of Google, IBM, SpaceX, Huawei, Microsoft, Yamaha, Honda, System76, GNOME, Daimler" and is accepting donations. Meanwhile, the founder says:

> A lot of my stuff is learning about kernel development and is mostly what I do. I do a lot with porting devices to fuchsia, and tinkering with the zircon kernel. Thats mostly it.

If there was just a repo and the readme just said that, I don't think there would be any skepticism and criticism here, just some interest and encouragement. But with all this slick marketing, skepticism and criticism is a healthy balance.
Tax loopholes can generally be closed retrospectively.
> Aspens (for the uninitiated) are rhizomes.

I think I can safely speak for most of the uninitiated when I say that this sentence is completely meaningless to us.
A better measure would be "(security) issues reported since the version you're using", I suppose.
Yes, and at the same time the author claims: "Ox is easier to use than Vim because it doesn’t have modes where the keyboard is repurposed"

So vim both only provides basic text editing functionality and is harder to use than Ox?

Vim has a special "insert mode" in which the keyboard is repurposed for entering text. I don't think that's a very hard concept to grasp.
> it breaks up flow much much less than having to go to the documentation all the time to look up minor naming variations (is it "start" or "begin"?).

I read OP's position as: If you don't use aurocomplete you'll remember the naming variations better, and won't have to look them up all the time.

I still think aurocomplete might be faster for libraries you haven't used much before, but it doesn't sound at all unbelievable to me that the brain works as stated.
How can they release it under the Apache license (which I applaud) if they use the Linux kernel which is GPL- I always thought those two licenses are incompatible (because of the restrictiveness of the GPL)
Not sure. See https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-21/bitcoins-blockchain-h... for an article.
>Wouldn't this open the door to even more p-hacking than today - unscrupulous researchers taking others' data and finding some kind of signal in it?

I would argue that the more data is out there, the less easy it is to "p-hack", i.e. it's much more difficult to find some weird correlation if you have a huge population. Also I would not call researchers who use others data "unscrupulous". In fact that is been done in meta studies already and is exactly the point of the exercise. Increase the amount of data published so if some "unscrupulous" or "erroneous" researcher publishes a study with some some spurious correlation, we can look at a lot more data to see if that also exists there.

>My understanding was that the gold standard for research is to come up with a hypothesis, design an experiment to test that hypothesis, collecting data in such a way that you have statistical independence between the variables you wish to measure, and finally analyze the data and conclude check if you have confirmed your hypothesis or if it remains unconfirmed.

>But data collected correctly to test one hypothesis is not necessarily good for testing other hypotheses - e.g. perhaps it was irrelevant for your research if all the animals were female and might have had birth defects, but that doesn't mean your data is useful for someone studying the whole population.

It is true that sometimes data collected for one purpose is not necessarily good for another purpose, however very often it is and many discoveries were made by looking for something new in data collected for a completely different purpose.

>This would mean that not only do you have to publish the raw data, but also describe your data collection methods, your assumptions, things you didn't check etc. How far are you from publishing your whole paper at that point?

Good reproducible science should do that anyway. You should always keep a labbook that clearly documents what you are doing so that someone else (or your future self), can reproduce the results. So in the requirement I'm asking for is forcing people to do good science. I can tell from experience this documentation is still very far away from a whole paper.
Offtopic, but how do you get new work visas/pu-letters to China these days?
> their economic activity creates jobs

yes, but the employee would've gotten another job else where, so it's _not_ the company that's creating the taxation benefit! They therefore, should not be given the benefit of attributing that taxation (for PR purposes)!

The company did make some investment which led to the job - but they did said investment for their own benefit, not to create more jobs for which taxation can be levied.

The first sentence of the article makes it clear the 95% figure is in reference to speed.
If people are interested in alternative text editors, two quite interesting ones' I've come across recently were:

> It was foolish of representatives to try to use their existing tools of short term price controls as if a storm just hit a small area of their state, as this just caused confusion and made the market more opaque.

I'm still unconvinced that price gouging during an emergency is beneficial overall.

Regardless, it was already illegal in California.
Good tip, thank you!!
Hmmm I misremembered it then. Thanks for pointing this out.

My general point still stands though. His initial Linux announcement E-Mail has this line:

> It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.

So it wasn't very portable at the start. If you complained about it not being portable to different arches (idk which one was available at that time? SPARC? MIPS?), it would have been unfair. Everyone has to start somewhere.
> and I’ve just ordered a moderately large e-paper display which is destined to be mounted with a zero inside a picture frame and hung from the wall like a photo

Which display, if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve had a similar idea for a while, but haven’t seen a display that felt reasonably sized or priced for a hobby project
From reading the threads here I can see most people agree the JVM is a great language in terms of capitalizing on the existing ecosystem.

Some people mention Scala as an alternative to OCaml but honestly the language seems a lot less elegant (at least at a distance...) and the community seems to be surrounded in controversy and confusion ([1] ?)

I think a SML inspired language on the JVM platform would be really popular. [2] lists a few but none of them seem to have gained momentum. [3] looked promising but it seems like development has stalled.

Redlining means that everyone living in or near black neighborhood cant get those mortgages or investments or whatever. It also means services are lower for everyone - including white liberals who have limited options just due to living there.

What that also mean is that if one black family moves into white street, every white on that street is at risk to loose exact same things. They become redlined too.

Redlining means that white people have financial incentive to segregate themselves and to push away incoming blacks. Liberal might not mind living with blacks, but will mind being unable to take mortgage he would be able to get otherwise.

I think the point GP was making is that you could have likely started off much cheaper, eg. with 2k/month of AWS costs before needing to "simply" scale at eg. 12 months, especially so if using managed services and not just bare ec2 instances.

I personally think there's room for both, and I think hybrids between on-prem and cloud are the ideal for long running apps: you size your on-prem infrastructure to handle 99% of the load, and scale to the cloud for that one-off peak.

That's still pretty complicated due to different types of vendor lock in (or lock out in some cases). Google has invested in k8s to get people some value for moving away from AWS.
walrus01 pointed out the original DIY methods, but there’s a pre-built especially nice implementation over here:

https://github.com/showmewebcam/showmewebcam

It boots up much faster and mounts the filesystem read-only so you don’t have to worry about unplugging the pi and accidentally corrupting the file system or anything like that. I’m currently using this one.
That's perfectly understandable, I even feel that I went a little too "slick marketing" with the website, but I have extremely high, maybe even too high goals for the project.

What exactly is wrong with selling the stuff at a price that will easily find buyers?

Those items were not controlled by the government, there were no quotas in place or anything like that, so what exactly did you report those listings for? What crime, or even what ethical problem do you see with it? Just don't buy it if you think it's too expensive. It would be one thing if it was a big company that was ordered by the government to give masks to hospitals, but the listings you talk about were likely from individuals who had small stocks that were free to do with those stocks as they pleased.

It sounds like you didn't want to pay the price that the seller wanted, but instead of simply refusing to buy you tried to go around and try to abuse the reporting system to force them to sell cheaper in a new listing.
B cells carry the same DNA as all other cells. The difference between cell types is in what sections are functionally expressed (made into proteins that do their work). This is determined by a multitude of factors.

Cancer cells typically have mutations, even just single base pair changes, which change the way that genes are expressed in the cell and thereby influence such behavior.

The original functions of the B cell aren't necessarily needed for other cell types to exhibit similar functions. The base plan is there, it just needs a nudge.
I think it depends a bit on what type of feedback you're after. For quantitative feedback tools like hotjar.com's surveys can be quite effective (https://www.hotjar.com/tour/#polls).

For qualitative data such as user interviews/calls the solution for most teams is either to spend a lot of time on find users to talk to and set up calls or to pay companies like usertesting.com for access to their panels.

These tools don't allow you to get quick (and for most teams affordable) access to your own users for user interviews though, which is something that was enough of a pain point within my own team that we've built a tool exactly for that (https://tryribbon.com).

The Mom Test is also a great read on how to get useful user feedback in general (https://amzn.to/383bo92).
1. The company I work for is already fully locked into AWS with years of work needed to go anywhere else.

2. Duh, this is an incentive to move to their cloud. Duh duh duh. Basically everything any corporation does is in some way intended to keep you locked into their system.

3. The company that I work for pays Amazon A LOT of money every year. As in, millions a year and almost certainly a month, too. If this allows us to pull images without limits, avoid having a separate billing agreement with DockerHub, and provides faster speeds from the regions where we're deployed in AWS, then this is a compelling offering from Amazon and my company would likely consider it.
Yeah that's actually what I am planning on doing when I relist this. I was just amazed people would bid over $200 without reading anything. And I took great pains to write a clear description as well!

Everyone is beating him for his incorrect predictions about AWS pricing changes.

But nobody focuses on the most important point: Somehow AWS can give you a lot of egress traffic for free, something _you_ would pay a lot of money for. This is clearly showing that egress pricing is heavily inflated so every cloud can print a lot of money.

About: Backend software engineer for 4 years. Worked at two companies in the past -- one large, one small. Even though I've been primarily a Java person in the past, I'm very much looking to try out different languages and frameworks while working in different parts of the stack!

Forever is a long time. In practice there are wealthy people willing to pass vast majority of their wealth through generations.

Personally I don't think it is fair or likely healthy in the long term for the society to let vast majority of the income/wealth of wealthy and thus powerful people to go untaxed - even[1] if that income/wealth is not consumed.

[1] Actually it should be "especially if it is not consumed". In the old days there was a shortage of capital for investments indicated by relatively high interest rates. Nowadays there is shortage of consumption. But that to my understanding is a bit of a heterodox view, so I am just leaving it there.

Component architecture is everywhere on the desktops, just not on those using UNIX text terminals.

COM has been the underlying driving technology of Windows since Vista, where the Windows team took the Longhorn .NET ideas and redid them with COM, since then we got COM improved as WinRT/UWP. Which despite the common mix with the store (blame marketing teams), is what to this day most Windows 10 APIs make use of, and now even React Native for Windows is built on top of.

On Apple side, we have XPC being increasingly used, while Android uses a mix Binder and Activities, also the same IPC mechanism powering Treble based drivers.

XFCE, GNOME and KDE make heavy use of DBUS.

Then I laugh of joy with hype around gRPC, as everyone is just rediscovering CORBA.

Lisps, Smalltalks, Oberons ideas can be replicated on top of those component stacks, which is what Powershell actually does to certain extent on Windows.

The tools are there, learn to use them Luke.
Can we make it work in Windows by any chance?
LUMICKS | C++ Developers | Amsterdam, NL | FULL-TIME, ONSITE when safe to do so, VISA | http://lumicks.com

LUMICKS is bringing novel tools for single-molecule biophysics and cell avidity to market, enabling scientific researchers across biology and medicine to unlock new types of experiments.

We produce z-Movi, a unique instrument that can directly measure the overall strength of interaction between cells ("avidity") and could have an enormous impact on research in immunology, paving the way for new therapies for cancer. In collaboration with end users, we have developed a fast and intuitive workflow software that takes you from defining your parameters to viewing your data in no time.

We also build C-Trap, which can be used to "grab" a single molecule, and apply precise mechanical forces to it. At the same time, one can visualize the molecule using highly-sensitive fluorescence microscopy. Our customers use it to watch DNA being copied by the molecular machinery of the cell, or observe molecular "engines" walking across the scaffolding structures of a human cell. LUMICKS systems are currently in use in opinion-leading labs across the globe, including Stanford, Johns Hopkins University, Tsinghua University, NIH, Max Planck Institute, TU Delft, and Imperial College London.

We're an academic spin-off from a research group at VU University Amsterdam. We care deeply about providing our users with easy-to-use, reliable software that actively supports Open Data and Reproducible Science. To make this happen, we're looking to expand our software engineering team with additional:

C++ developers -- http://lumicks.com/vacancies/cpp-software-developer
We use the following technologies. When applying, it's fine to be familiar with a subset of these:

C++17 (soon 20) for the core code, Qt5 (QML) for the UI and Python 3 for bindings. CMake builds everything and Conan manages the dependencies. Libraries we use include abseil, asio, caf (C++ actor framework), catch2, cereal, fmt, opencv, ranges-v3 and spdlog. Our Python bindings are implemented using pybind11.

I do have opinions about various tax provisions that I know well. But the topics I mentioned in my prior comment were not about a specific tax provision, or even tax policy generally. I was just stating the facts of life. It will always be the case that big companies will find it efficient to engage in certain revenue-producing activities that smaller companies/individuals will not.

Just as I don't have feelings about laws of physics, I don't have any feelings about economies of scale.

Lobbying is a bit different. Like most folks, the idea of 'lobbying' strikes me as wasteful/corrupt. But if you try to come up with a definition about what 'lobbying' is, and how you might try to restrict it, you realize that it is very difficult to do so without being underinclusive or overinclusive (or both!). So while I find the idea distasteful, I don't have any answers on how to 'fix' it.

The builds are not neccessarily licensed, Fuchsia is Apache, and our source is Apache, I'm not quite sure legally about the final product of it. The underlying Linux system is licensed under various licenses, which are provided with the system. We release the GPL bits under the GPL, and the Apache bits under Apache 2.0, in addition to the other third party components which have miscellaneous licenses.
While I wholeheartedly agree with the preservation of naturally-grown trees and forests, I think it may depend on what the proposed newly-planted trees would be used for. Oxygen production, timber cultivation, ecosystem support? If the first, phytoplankton in our oceans produce WAY more oxygen than all the trees on earth combined -- which is one of a billion reasons why we absolutely need to stop polluting our oceans (and land for that matter). If the second, sowing hemp plants takes up less land and resources while producing more usable material for even more applications than do trees. If the third, then yeah trees are definitely required to sustain entire ecosystems so I can't make an argument against that. It is extremely unfortunate that entire naturally-occuring forests get completely decimated just for the wood or other for-profit ventures, regardless of the impact to the entire planet's balance between all of nature...including but not limited to us as human beings.
The article is literally about how this is similar/different from Do Not Track and how new laws such as GDPR give it a chance to work where the former didn't.
Law is the UI for political power, and not inherently for justice.

If you want justice, you have to apply political leverage to steer power in its direction.

Law is also the UI for political self-interest. Unfortunately the same leverage principle applies. Which is why it's almost impossible to get real justice - including tax justice - in a plutocracy. The scales are tilted too heavily in the opposite direction.

The answer is to balance plutocracy with effective political organisation, but that's an incredibly hard problem to solve at all, never mind peacefully.

I know of one "gotcha" that works in my country at least: work for low / no wage but instead have loads of assets like stocks; dividend taxes are much lower than income taxes.

This is a common trick in the UK, or at least it was before the IR35 crackdown. Programmers, sportsmen, celebrities, even politicians and civil servants would run single-person companies and get their salaries paid to them. Then those companies in turn would pay them in dividends.
