Most of my projects are things I do for myself, either for learning or completing some task. If it's for learning, then I don't let it discourage me. If it's to complete a task, then I'll just use the established products.

I feel this would vary person to person. If you have the goal to monetize it, or use it to create some other value (employment prospects, social status, etc), then my approach probably doesn't fit. I've pretty much come to accept I will never make money nor increase my employability with my side projects.
Wasn't FirefoxOS (the defunct phone one, now there's the KaiOS fork) sort of like that? I believe Gonk took some parts from Android, but haven't dug into it.

Given that example, not sure how feasible the app ecosystem is.
FWIW I am attracted to Sourcehut's aesthetic exactly because it's not a "2020 theme", so I've been using it and paying for it. Pages are simple and functional. Github makes me feel tired, overwhelmed, and it requires too much scrolling and reading what looks like ad copy.
I agree that users learn how to use products, then get used to it.

But, for example, in case of pagination I couldn't get used to it.

Plus, the learning curve shouldn't be that steep
Such doors, often with a hoisting beam above, are also seen on older telephone central office buildings in the U.S., for the same reason: they made it easier for Western Electric to install full-height (11′ 6″) distributing frames and other large equipment on upper floors.

There is genuine work to be done reconciling gay marriage with the first amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
Unfortunately Alito is more likely to add to the problem than to help resolve it.
I ask myself quite genuinely if under the same circumstances I would live like that. It's really very hard to imagine that I or anyone I know would just accept living in trash like that. We would surely all agree to get some shovels and at least clean up the sidewalk in front of our house...right? What stops them from doing that? It seems like a choice.

Ask HN: As a white cis-gender male you can't comment on [woke cause]?
Is this a reasonable rule or just a disguised attempt to silence critics?

I had this pulled on me recently in the form of "what right does J.K. Rowling have to comment on trans issues as cis-gender female". It caught me off guard and it didn't sound unreasonable.

But then she's a woman, and she was talking about if trans people should be able to use women's restrooms - an issue specific to both trans people and women. So she has standing even by this rule.

Going deeper. Does that mean as a man I can't have an opinion on abortion? Many women would say that's true. I'm not so sure it is. It's also an issue about human life, so just by expanding the category to all humans, I would have standing even by this rule.

Let's take it further. As a non-Jewish man, I can't have an opinion on the Holocaust? As a non-Chinese I can't have an opinion of the torture, indoctrination, and sterilization of the Uighurs? As a non-US citizen I can't have an opinion on President Trump?

I think that's nonsense to put it politely.

> Generally when I personally see code with an MIT License, I understand that I am able to copy whatever I want from that project to my own projects, I thought that was the point of it. Do y'all not do the same?

You are allowed to take and copy it to your project. You just need to retain the notice along with it - IANAL but I usually just copy the licence in a code comment along with the copied section (or file). I usually include a pointer to the original source for audit purposes. That doesn't make my project MIT licensed, but that part of the code that I lifted without substantial modification remains MIT licensed, even if I make my project closed source commercial. There's no way around that - I cannot claim it as my own since I have not written it. Same for public domain code.
Originalism is fine in theory when coupled with judicial restraint. However, in practice, it has become justification for big-C Conservative justices to actively impose their views, overriding the democratic legislative process.

http://www.dorfonlaw.org/2017/08/how-determinate-is-original...

We're not going to settle this in the comment section of HN, but I happen to agree with this opinion:

As the Warren and early Burger Courts faded into history, originalism drifted away from its critique of judicial activism. The political conservatives who had disliked the countermajoritarian output of the Warren and early Burger Courts developed a fondness for judicial activism once there was a conservative majority on the Supreme Court. Originalism was thus transformed from a shield against what its proponents saw as illegitimate liberal decisions striking down laws adopted by conservative lawmakers into a sword that could be wielded by conservatives to strike down laws adopted by liberal lawmakers.

Originalism coupled with judicial restraint could not invalidate affirmative action, campaign finance regulations, or gun control. Abandoning judicial restraint led to an "unbound" form of originalism that licensed conservative judicial activism, even as judicial conservatives continued to complain about liberal judicial activism in cases involving such matters as abortion, the death penalty, and gay rights.

http://www.dorfonlaw.org/2019/11/why-not-to-be-originalist.h...

Do you have a non-activist originalist argument for Alito's on-going stance against legal protection of gay marriage? In Obergefell v. Hodges he stated that the Due Process clause protects only rights "deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition". He's making up a justification to allow a minority of conservative opinion to prevent gay people from getting married. How isn't that activism?
black lives do matter. we should be anti-fascist. we do face possible extinction & must change. none of these seem contentious or dangerous causes, extremist. they each support basic rights to survive.

I specifically asked about what we had been talking about, which is radical media outlets. you had contended that the problem was on both sides, that media was being byper-radical. I don't see examples on the left. and I don't see politicians on the left embracing extremist media.

you are right that there has been some looting & some confrontations. I think you overrate the violence. destroying a store front is not, to me, a threat to civilization, especially when the cause for anger is so visceral, so real, so evident, such mass gilovernmental & systematuc injustice. I personally blame the right, blame neonazi & white nationists & other fascist forces for instigating much of the violence that anti-fascist have wound up engaged in.

our assessments are very different, obviously, but I am really interested in justifications for perceiving the left media as radical & extremist. my first two questions, what are extremist left media organizations, and what politicians embrace these organizations, stands.

in my view, the left is trying very hard to maintain a good civil world for as many people as it can. against enormously bitter antagonistic forces. we used to worry about Fox News as a manufacturer of lies & antagonism & shit, but the right has ratcheted up and up and up the campaign of terror & conspiratorialism it has used to whip up support, to incite it's people, and I see no clear parallels on the left.
>Barring those agreements states, like California and Washington, explicitly have laws giving workers rights to their work done without using company resources.

California's law only covers things which are not related to the company's current or future anticipated business. For a company like Facebook or Google that covers so much ground that the law may as well not exist.

Unless you can think of any steps to prevent your plan from working, try to forget about it. Somebody will re-invent it later, but that'll be later. We've created more of the readily-accessible good technology than the readily-accessible bad technology, and it'll take an active effort to keep it that way.
No warping going on.

You said “But if you have a cached OCSP response for the cert of a malware author, then you've already launched their app, so it's probably too late.”

I.e. once you have launched the app, the damage is done.

This is not the case, and the Zoom situation is a clear counterexample. Even if a problematic app has been launched one or more times, it is still worth preventing subsequent launches if you can.

It doesn’t matter what mechanism is used to prevent the subsequent launch. This applies to any mechanism including OCSP. The Zoom example is a refutation of the particular point you made, a point which dismisses a real security concern.

It demonstrates that there is value in Apple having the ability to prevent harmful software from running, no matter how many times it has already been run.
That does not sound like a good decision in terms of the safety tradeoff vs whatever benefit you get from driving it. Cheap? Am I wrong about that? Does it increase the risk of injury and death for other road users or are you sure it's just you and your passengers alone who are consenting to carry that (unnecessary?) risk?
That's true to some extent. If you see a lot of users having the same issue it might be the case. Sometimes it's also people not bothering to read the documentation.

As a maintainer it's also your right to develop a tool just for yourself, and share it for the world. In which case, documentation is not necessarily the priority. And it's fine.
If your device is "bricked" a back-up won't help. I'm not sure I understand your point.

Hello.

I am one of the members of this project.

Your comment is totally accurate and a bad ventilator design or manufacturing can be fatal.

The Norwegian ventilator design was a dead end since the beginning.

Many different makers teams tried to create ventilators around the world by doing mechanization of "Ambubags" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag_valve_mask).

Those makers chose this solution because it was the easiest way to do a ventilator if a few weeks.

This idea is bad because it creates many different problems:
- After 30 minutes, patients will start having high C02 levels
- It spreads the virus in the hospital room
- It can clog

At the beginning of the pandemic, we choose a completely different design and started something from scratch.

Our goal was to make a very safe ventilator, so we could be confident our ourselves, our parents, our family would have to use it.

We asked doctors, specialists, we quickly figured out that the best design was using a turbine design as most emergency ventilators come with turbines.

The big challenge was to finely the pressure very accurately: so we needed valves to manage the airflow.

All the Airflow systems needed to be biocompatible and no pressure valves existed on the market for that purpose.

We tried many ways doing that and engineers in the team found that the best way to make those valves was doing a "Pinch Valve"

The idea is you have a medical-grade flexible pipe, which is pinched using an excentric valve. This way you can finely tune the pressure.

Researchers and doctors tested early prototypes and they found the design was smart and very promising.

It was tested on very complicated lung simulators, and then two pigs.

Following those studies, french authorities started to look at our project and gave us funding (around 500k euros). Allowing us to have access to 2 ASL 5000, the rolls of lung simulators to try our prototypes.

Many different local companies (engineering, manufacturing) help us as well.

A complete team (5 people) made internally all the paperwork for French Health Authorities so they can approve clinical trials.

After a few months, the Makair was approved for Clinical trials and 2 hospitals started to try it on patients.

Meanwhile, we are working on CE marking and production lines. Multiple countries are interested.

If we had to start again, we would choose the same design.

I have no opinion on the Kochs, I have too little information, and since I don't have any influence, I couldn't care less.

I do care about civil discourse though.
C#s uses these heavily, and most of my professional career has been using C#. I understand the convenience they offer but I do not think they are worth the complexity they add to the language. There is a whole zoo of syntax around them, as the author states arbitrary computation can sneak up on you when you don't expect it, and ultimately all you are doing is creating some shorthand for functions.

If you like, make some shorthand for creating a getter/setter pair that link with some field, that would be fine. But keep them functions, so that it is clear that they are functions to consumers.
Do you like HN's design? It gets the job done, right? Why do we need aesthetics? It gets in the way for the most part.

BitChan: Decentralized anonymous image board over BitMessage with Tor and GnuGP
"BitMessage is a decentralized, encrypted messaging application. It relies on public key encryption (similar to PGP), decentralized message delivery, which due to the nature of every message being distributed to every client, also provides plausible deniability (i.e. no one knows who the message was intended to go to).

BitChan runs on top of BitMessage to enhance its functionality and security, by providing a feature-rich frontend to what is normally a text-based experience. BitChan offers boards for a forum-like experience with image and file sharing, lists to organize and share other boards and lists, along with a host of additional features to enhance posts and provide board and list management with the use of owner, admin, and user permissions. Boards and lists can be public or private, with or without owners or admins, allowing a full range from completely unmoderatable to strictly allowing only select addresses to post or modify list contents..."

What's the best way to go about it.
There is always business value to support and backwards compatibility. Think of how much goodwill Microsoft has built up for their backwards compatibility. Heck, the story of the version of Doom that runs on DOS->Win3.1->Windows 10 hit the front page today! Now think of how little goodwill Google has, due to their pernicious habit of killing off popular products that don't meet their very high standards for revenue production.

Why does Microsoft dominate the enterprise and not Google? I think the above has almost everything to do with it.

Apple has kind of walked the middle road between Microsoft's extreme backward compatibility and Google's "kill off everything that doesn't earn at least a billion". They support old hardware a lot longer than Google, but they also break a lot of things with their OS updates. Apple also has a pretty legendary track record of successfully shifting CPU architectures without breaking popular apps at the time, something that's pretty much unheard of elsewhere.
Electric cars will be cheaper than gasoline cars long before 2030, probably before 2025.
This - toppling - was also my first thought. However on further examination I reckon the rail that it opens along will be pretty ferociously fastened and provide the required stability.
Often because the OS won't stop alerting you all the time that you have an update.
There used to be a time when ‘entrepreneurs’ were much more likely to travel abroad than law-abiding citizens for a combination of reasons and I imagine a similar combination makes only the worst of them travel and be seen outside of their usual places, giving a very bad rep to the wide group as a whole.
I saw parts of the speech and it was crazy. This is why appointing judges for life makes zero sense to me. If I become a supreme court judge at 45 and live to 75, I have a full three decades to change the direction of the country forever. This is very very scary.

There should be a term limit for everyone in government like presidents do - mayors, congressmen, senators, judges...

Bagasse is a long-fiber material, but the usual process for extracting sugar (wire brushes, crushing) leaves you with more of a powder. Longer fibers can be extracted, oriented, and used to make oriented strand board, which is like particleboard but with more tensile strength. Here's some research in Brazil on that.[1] Brazil being the world's largest produce of sugar cane residue, they have plenty of raw material to work with.

Probably good for making IKEA-type furniture even more cheaply.

But then it would just be another Google-phone, based on a Google-controlled codebase. We have enough of those phones and "OSes" already.

I respect the Pine64, PinePhone and the surrounding communities for trying to make an actual, real Linux-phone based on a real Linux base.

I even bought a PinePhone myself to play with. It's definitely not there yet in terms a full replacement of my iPhone, but at the same time I can see all the pieces starting to come together: It's a real phone, with an open bootloader, running real Linux (with systemd, PulseAudio, whatever your distro rolls with) and a custom shell made for touchscreen phones.

It's just what it needs to be. It just lacks some polish, that's all.

And the community feels really vibrant, akin to the early Linux hacker-scene you had back in the 90s, where everyone is trying to do their part to help deliver something new and different.

For better, it's like a full deja back to those days. I love it!
