For us etsy filled the need for a cheaper, scarce alternative to an item for our baby that wasn't available where we live. Import fees and taxes would make price jump to ridiculous levels if sent from abroad.

Its kind of busy house made from wood, having tons of small trinkets to play with, ie switches, velcro, rubber bands, windows etc. All the stuff kids find in the house and spend so much time playing with compared to actual toys.

The stuff we found and ordered is hand-made in Lithuania, costs 50% of the 'original' montessori one (not sure if that's their idea though), looks much more solid since its made from much thicker actual wood.

Same for a ring I bought few years back for my wife - she found it, unique and appealing to her like no local could. Didn't cost much. I guess what you describe - something unique, that someone skilled' time and effort went into, compared to machined mass production.

This has a lot of value, ie carpenters are very well paid where I come from. If they are business savvy, they easily trump some software consulting in income.

> The logs of location sharing uploads and queries contain two pieces of information that together would allow for certain types of analytics

Yes, metadata can always be analyzed and exploited. I just hope that by open sourcing the server and the client, that I can earn some trust from people to know that I'm not doing anything like that. This is not a problem unique to this server, it's a problem of all servers in the world. And if a user is particularly concerned about exposing their IP to the server, they can always access it via a VPN or proxy server.

Zood Location can't overcome every single threat out there, but it can significantly reduce the number of threats you have to deal with.

Interestingly enough, both the best and the worst experiences I've had on the web lately both belonged to tools-and-hardware suppliers: McMaster.com and HomeDepot.com, respectively.

Everything about McMaster-Carr's site is built for speed and ease. I can literally have an idea, find the category, identify the specific part, and complete an order in about twenty seconds. (I've done this during a phone call. In the time it took my coworker to articulate the part he was looking for and finish his sentence, I was able to reply "It'll be here tomorrow.")

HomeDepot on the other hand sometimes takes 20 or 30 seconds to render the page to the point that I can see prices. I just checked with a page whose URL was already in my history, an unusually brisk 7 seconds. (Gag!) How do they screw it up so bad? I honestly don't understand how a web page can take so long to do anything.

Qt 6 Released
I am mostly a commercial software user, but I owe the GPL the possibility of having had access to UNIX at home.

As such everything I do outside work, is dual licensed, don't want to pay me? GPL

Want to earn money with my work? Lets talk about a commercial license that makes sense to both parties.

I was there in the shareware/public domain days, and this is where everything is going back to with these decisions of moving away from the GPL.

The major uptake of BSD UNIX clones across the industry shows how it would have worked out without Linux and GNU being GPL, basically HP-UX, Solaris, Aix, Irix would still dominate the server room.
On that note, interest rates, even long ones, are really really low these days.

One way to think about value and growth is to say that you need to discount speculative future incomes. Well it used to be that five or ten years out rates could be 8-15%, and then you had to compound. And that's just the cost of money, you need to think about how likely the income is in the first place.

So it shouldn't surprise us that when rates collapse, companies with mostly future unknown income gain in value compared to those with current certain income.

The big question is whether rates will ever come back to what we used to see.
I'm glad you like that term. It really describes type of problem that needs a description but I haven't any term to describe it.
> If I have started development of a project using the open source version (LGPL), can I later purchase a commercial version of Qt and move my code under that license?
This is not permitted without written consent from The Qt Company. If you have already started the development with an open-source version of Qt, please contact The Qt Company to resolve the issue. If you are unsure of which license or version to use when you start development, we recommend you contact The Qt Company to advise you on the best choice based on your development needs.

Good decision, that is also my approach.
Not that much money, and you can also borrow money if you are not rich. It always shocks me how ready poor people are with their excuses.

If you think it is so simple to make money, prove it by doing it.

You claim you know of a guaranteed way to make money, you only need some starting money. If you are so sure, and your idea is so good, you should be able to convince somebody to lend you the money to do it.

Incidentally, do you know any "limited supply properties" somebody with money should buy at this very moment, to get even richer?
> If you work in an industry or corporation that is highly security conscious, i.e. that prizes risk mitigation over using the cutting edge or getting to market first above all else, then you won't be able to use nightlies.

> Security policy will dictate that you use use a stable versioned release, that the release be vetted through scripts/STIGs, and that the release be installed by Security+ certified and blessed admins.

I'd be quite surprised if your "security policy" has all of that and yet doesn't have a requirement for "commercial support" (i.e., Red Hat Enterprise Linux).

Besides, if $employer "is highly security conscious", your machines are almost certainly airgapped and getting their updates from a Satellite server that you're already paying Red Hat for.

AFAIK, CentOS is not now -- nor has it ever been -- "certified" for anything. Did that change at some point without me noticing?

I don’t think you fully understand what having large student loans can mean for a person. Sure not everyone has 100k+ in loans but either way it’s not irrational to be concerned about immediate financial issues as opposed to mass surveillance. Not everyone has a stem degree as a result of their loans and plenty of people with degrees struggle to make ends meet
> Latex is pretty mediocre on a lot of fronts too: almost any operation outside writing ASCII text or equations requires to search the web for a package or a specific tricky use of commands (...), which make working with it painfully slow.

The only issue you're referring is discoverability of extensions from a newbie's standpoint.

Most of the extra features I used only required a single command in the preamble to get everything to work out-of-the-box. And I mean everything.

> In Word you can just input text (including code points outside the BMP) and it will works out of the box.

...except when it does not. I mean, the very basic task of getting numbered headings in Word is still mind-numbingly arcane for some reason, or to get images to play nice with their captions so that they break in the same page.
The fact we’re here freely discussing it is probably a big hint we don’t live in a totalitarian state?
There is something _wrong_ with HomeDepot.com. It managed to send my poor laptop into swap hell/thrashing, which wasn't too surprising as that machine is always short on RAM. That it could do the same to a beefy workstation (16 cores, 64GB RAM), though... that was impressive. Whatever is wrong there, it hits memory especially hard.

I'm assuming the "police work" you mention would yield more material to prosecute on, so they won't gi by "DNA alone", which GP was concerned about.
20 years ago MIT and BSD were also an option, with most UNIX taking code from BSD and hardly contributing back.

If you are running GNU/Linux and not Solaris, it is because of the network effects of the GPL.

Apparently most anti-GPL folks don't have an issue going back to those days.

(Depending on the type of app, you might also want or need to support various embedded devices or game consoles. I guess QT doesn't help there though.)

Implicit Neural Representations with Periodic Activation Functions

I suspect neither of us are lawyers. On the other hand I've definitely dealt with corporate lawyers pretty much interpreting it exactly as I outlined. And by that I mean they issued a blanket ban on any single line of code licensed under GPLv3. For GPLv2 the verdict was use with caution and MIT/Apache 2.0/Eclipse/BSD/etc. were generally fine provided the code was licensed properly and clearly (some projects fail this test). This was Nokia around the time they were in the courts with Apple, Qualcomm, Microsoft, etc. regularly on all sorts of IP issues and at the same time they were putting together a Linux based phone platform. In other words, they weren't amateurs; like us.

As far as I know most fortune 500 companies would probably have similar reservations about these licenses (correct me if I'm wrong). Companies like TerminusDB switching license because "sufficient lawyers have advised teams to be wary of GPL" probably means that they were loosing lucrative deals with big customers because of the license. Hence the switch. I think dual licensing as a viable business strategy is pretty much dead at this point. An overly restrictive OSS license is a hard sell for a SAAS business in a competitive market with alternative solutions.

Legal interpretations are not an exact science of course but there's enough language in these licenses to cause raised eyebrows for lawyers and probably not enough court cases to argue one way or another definitely. That equals a lot of uncertainty and corporate legal departments hate that sort of thing. GPLv2 has had some exposure in courts over the years so lawyers are more comfortable with it at this point and know how to limit and contain its infamous viral nature.
Not that I'm aware of. I tried really hard to get iCloud Photo + iCloud Drive to work for my needs. I was not able to figure this out.

1) iCloud Photos and iCloud Drive do not work together - this was really surprising to me as I need a file-system based option to be exposed.

2) iCloud Photos requires (or did so 2 years ago) that you enable backing up of all photos. I prefer to choose the photos I want to add to my archive and there was no way to do this and use iCloud Photos.

Individually the two products showed promise but they are siloed. I did not make it this far but due to the lack of APIs I would not have been able to use Synology's Cloud Station to pull down a copy of my library for a secondary backup.

In the end, it suited me well to invest a little more time in my solution to further decouple the services that I use. I was using Google Drive, for example, and started having a lot of sync conflicts so I switched to Dropbox with little hassle while still using Google Photos as my viewing application.

Really hoping Synology Photos can fill this gap and I can move off Google Photos.
I think one of the most interesting papers I read this year was Hartshorne & Germine, 2015, "When does cognitive functioning peak? The asynchronous rise and fall of different cognitive abilities across the life span": https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797614567339

There are lots of good bits, such as: 'On the practical side, not only is there no age at which humans are performing at peak on all cognitive tasks, there may not be an age at which humans perform at peak on most cognitive tasks. Studies that compare the young or elderly to “normal adults” must carefully select the “normal” population.' (italics in original)

This seems to me to comport with the research suggesting that most or all of the variance in IQ across the life span can be accounted for by controlling for mental processing speed; i.e., you are generally faster when you are younger, but you are not more correct when you are younger.
> My guess is that people struggle more with Image placement in LaTeX by a huge margin.

You should guess again.

With LaTeX the biggest problem with images is seeig them reflow in a place you wasn't expecting because you did not paid attention to what you actually did.

With Word, you even have to fight it to not put images and their image captions on separate pages.

More importantly, with LaTeX the worst you get with images is them looking nice and neat in some other part of the text, maybe at the end of a section or with a single paragraph between them. With Word it's on par for the course to get your whole doc screwed up just because the image reflowed to the next page.
So?

These exceptions are given. What’s your point?
I would highly recommend Refactoring by Martin Fowler. Out of all the books I've read and been exposed to, that one stuck with me the most over the years.
This is so spot on. I teach CS as well and just taking a problem and dividing it into small tasks to be solved is something many students struggle with even near the end of our programme. This "mental leap" (the bridge between the problem and the steps to solve it using code) is the real barrier in my opinion. Most students won't have a problem understanding a solution when presented with it and wrongly thinks that just understanding a solution is the end goal, when arriving at it is the real challenge.
And that would be the reminder not to post before breakfast :)

Gonna say my usual thing every time this comes up: Rackspace, Indymedia, 2004.

I'll add some additional color this time, though: I was one of the people who went digging around the images of their drives, since I was working that night when they came in from the UK datacenter. They did their homework and logged "noip" in their Apache logs, so we were unable to provide the IP addresses associated with whatever activity it was they cared about.

I think it will when we finally have a language that is useful for all of: jotting down expressions, manipulating them by hand, and being consistent enough that automated theorem provers/proof helpers can use as their internal representation.

The issue right now is that the impressionistic maths notation works well for humans and there is no computer language that:

1). has good notation

2). is useful to mathematicians out of the box

Mathematica, sage, axiom, etc all have internal representations that are essentially the system I'm talking about but the user facing language is a mess in all cases. It's not a simple problem and I don't even know what the solution looks like.

It will have a lispy notation (tree serialization), and use rewrite rules (generalized macros) and types (some type of type inference with explicit typing annotations), but other than that I feel like someone trying to invent Algol in 1947.
