The article doesn't conflate open source with proprietary software.

It elaborates on why Stallman wrote, so many years ago, that Open Source is misguided, or at least, that it doesn't share the same goals as Free Software.

Here's the gist of it:

- Open Source presents itself as a technically better alternative to proprietary software. Also, it often claims to be developed in a more collaborative way, "all bugs are shallow when there are many eyeballs", etc. If you want a specific name, someone who used to vocally make this kind of claims was Open Source's advocate Eric Raymond.

- There is then the onus of proving this assertion. Is it true that Open Source is, as a norm, technically better than proprietary software as some of its more vocal advocates claim? Is it true that its development is more collaborative?

- The article states that no, as any user can plainly see, Open Source is not always technically better than proprietary software. Open Source is often more difficult to use, or unpolished, or has a worse UI, and critically, many open source projects are maintained by a single person, so it's not really always developed more collaboratively.

- The article states that this is not a problem for Free Software, because Free Software doesn't claim to be always technically better than proprietary software. It's not even its goal. Free Software claims to protect user's freedoms, even at the cost of being less polished or lacking some features.

> Is this code generated inside a trampoline function (so that last ret is actually a ret)? Is this code called inside the caller, and someone played with the return address? Something else?

The first: the "trampoline" in this case is just a ret. Calling the trampoline causes the compiler to emit a call instruction (which does the normal stack ops associated with one), so our "trampoline" just cleans that call up, completing the behavior of `static_call` in the case where we don't actually have a function registered.

It annoys me for sure and which it were simpler. What I found when integrating SAML is you have to work with whatever login code you already have which will build in assumptions across your app.
Uh... you can't seriously want that?

Trading crypto-securities or securities tokens requires completely redundant unnecessary infrastructure, being run by multiple firms registered with various regulators, and then lack liquidity as not only are the custody regulations unclear, FINRA is completely stonewalling any clarity or approvals, while the concept also lacks product market fit because nobody - market makers, investors - gives a crap about it, let alone the limited throughput of any mature enough settlement later.

There is no point in doing that when everyone else can just go anonymous and list directly on Uniswap in 30 seconds. It's just utterly silly trying to shoehorn a compliant offering into that mess.
This appears to be a potential alternative to selective amplification. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Polymerase_chain_reaction#/Selec...

Instead of pre-processing the DNA by preferentially amplifying the DNA segments of interest (so that 99%+ of what you sequence is stuff you want), this software/hardware combo sequences the first N bases of each molecule, and then moves on to the next molecule if it doesn't match any expected sequences. If you're sequencing molecules over >200bp, being able to eject the molecule in the first ~10bp could be a very big speedup.

Our lab already has sub-1 day processing times for this type of analysis, but I believe the traditional sequencer machine we use (an Illumina MiSeq) is likely more expensive and more cumbersome than the portable solution described here.
Cool, thanks. Also on this GitHub issue - https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/11195

Many of the programs at that time used the OS's default window styling and controls. So this made the desktop experience feel uniform throughout.
Some people aren't tired just because the clock says 9pm or even 12a. Some people are more awake and energetic in the evening, and less so in the AM, and other vice-versa.

If you're switching to python operators you should check out the TaskFlow API. You can basically build python operators with just python functions and decorators.
The fsf considers open source to basically be a marketing tactic for companies to sell services around free software. They don't like that the open source movement is focused on practical reasons to use free/opensource when freedom should be the main reason to use it. Especially in light of the fact that many times it is impractical to choose free/opensource software over proprietary software. Free software focuses on principals over pragmatism

They are using free and opensource as interchangeable terms for the same code, but used by people with different goals. I think at the time of this article, there was no license that was one and not the other. Bruce Perens has openly stated that the GPL was the example for the open source definition.
Seems similar to how hackernews doesn't allow calling people "paid shills". The review doesn't have any evidence or proof attached. Perhaps reporting the seller to Amazon is a better approach.
Congratulations! I came across Airflow being used mostly for ETL space. But are there any other use cases that it is suitable for? Is it comparable to (or build) a BPMN style workflows? Thank you.
> It is a feature of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for deflecting or destroying a large asteroid and preventing a possible collision with earth. The present invention may also deflect or destroy any other type of object.

I'm game right there. I think this "[shell with] embedded polycrystalline ferroelectric ceramic material" is probably a bit more ceramics than I have, so there's some work ahead.

He did not win a Nobel Prize. It didn't really change our understanding of prediction.

His work has stood the test of time well. He put quantum physics on a firm mathematical foundation, not just quantum mechanics but any quantum theory expressed in terms of Hilbert spaces and operators.
Yeah we've been benchmarking for a while, it is VISIBLY noticeable. You're gonna love it :)
I do not find that I need to keep up with everything. I choose a tech stack, work it for a few years, and then go out and catch up on what is new. Unless you are doing some kind of consulting where you need to be building greenfield apps with the bleeding edge every month, keeping up isn't as critical as it might seem.
You're absolutely right. The native platforms aren't perfect, but they're stable and successful.
They should be viewed as a story company. They sell the story of being the first and therefore the biggest public company adjacent to something something crypto. They could literally hand out Bitcoin at a humongous loss, and as long as that is spun in a good deck, their IPO will still be enormously successful for the insiders and institutional buyers at the bank price.
If you think that, than coinbase is DEFINITLY not for you.
Better buy crypto on paypal or some other garbage that doesn't allow you to fuck up with you bitcoin.

I will earn $5 this month.

It's peanuts compared to Adsense and other income streams but you can monetize channels you can't do traditionally such as Twitter, GitHub, Reddit... which is interesting.

Hopefully it'll become more popular. As a consumer, the idea of having a monthly budget that gets divided across every creator you spend your time on is great and fair, which makes the Internet a bit more beautiful.
Isn't using the data for product improvement still tracking? I don't personally care, but I'm not sure if the GDPR does.
It sounds like PayPal isn't actually buying Bitcoin, but instead created their own proxy bookkeeping instrument. Speculation, but that's what it sounds like to me if you can't have Bitcoin's utility and only its store/speculation.
Of course they are. Let's assume they are making 0.20% per trade (you can lookup their fee tiers online) - at current volumes that's around $5mio a day in fees. I doubt coinbase even needs the money - the IPO market is just really hot for blockchain related companies at the moment and it would be foolish not to raise some funds.
Same. If you figure it, let me know.
Isn't that because those kind of people are pushed out from everywhere and just end up congregating in a few places? If you relax rules everywhere, the noise will go down on average.
Thank you Holden! :D

I seriously love that you're an Airflow user since your spark talks first got me into OSS.
> Is it perhaps only badly written

I did not find it to be badly written.

> I’m reading too much into this?

I would think so.

My interpretation was that "Open Source" advocates must win the argument that Open Source will always turn out higher quality software, while "Free Software" advocates have an inherent advantage in that the software is explicitly designed to protect freedoms and therefore starts out ahead of proprietary software, even if it's less featureful.

Whether I agree with this argument, I'm unsure.
I think melatonin and ambien are longer-lasting in their neurological effects than THC. People use fat solubility and detection to counter that, but I don't buy it since that's separate from effect.
"Dipshits" is an incredibly rude way to describe people who are most likely just ignorant.
In my opinion, under ideal circumstances will you have interdependency between countries with everyone sharing a part in the process. What will end up happening is that countries will split into two ideological ‘nations’ like in Axis vs Allies.
I have a hard finding new fantasy books these days, because the synopsis are so boring. It usually goes "Yada yada presentation but bigger picture (usually about how the fate of the world is at stake and only the hero can save it)".

It's fine, that's what I expect from a fantasy book, but what's missing is what's your USP, why should I read your book instead of the countless others. Why did you write the damn book? It's a pretty big ordeal, so surely the author it could bring something different. They just seem to fail at expressing what.

That may be true in the “your customers are who pay you” judgement but it’s definitely not true in the “who you have a fiduciary duty to” sense.
One of the families profiled had a daughter who died after 7 years fighting cancer, and the wife also had a (successful) fight with cancer. Medical costs are the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US.

As for cars vs. public transport: In most of the US, public transport is not a time-efficient way to get to work, if it even goes from home to work. Having one car per working adult is the thriftier move, after accounting for having access to a greater number of jobs and being able to work longer hours because transport will be quicker.
> In the first you say that ambiguity will not harm interpretation, in the second you say that it will cause confusion.

That's because that's not what I said nor what I meant.
That is historical. The missing feature gaps are extremely small today.
Giving you the benefit of the doubt: you've conflated the Russian yearly budget with Maryland's GDP. Russian GDP of 2 Trillion would be the second in the US, between California and Texas
Nanopore/pyrosequencing technology is interesting in that the class of errors that it is most susceptible to (homopolymer inaccuracies) nearly do not exist in more traditional base-by-base sequencing.

These have proven harder to correct than simple substitution errors - this is both a fault of the bias of existing tooling, and also a difficult problem in general. Roche and other companies have had a lot of smart people working on this problem.

Increasing coverage will definitely help resolve these errors, but the coverage required may be such that it's more cost effective to use a more traditional sequencer.

A homopolymer is when you have stretches of the same nucleotide, and the error is miscounting the number of them. e.g: GAAAC could be called as "GAAC" or "GAAAAC" or even "GAAAAAAAC".

Oh, so you mean you're interested in whiskers over time, not after manufacturing?

Sorry for the misunderstanding then.

I'd say the most critical thing is to understand the relationship between ISO C standard, compiler implementations, and you, the programmer. Understanding that "seems to work" is not good strategy to deal with C, nor is trusting that things work in a sensible manner. Seeing how nasal demons might lurk at every corner. Distrust all advice and guidance that is not founded upon current C standard and/or compiler documentation. If you internalize that mode of thinking, then pointers will be just a minor detail in the end.
Perhaps I should clarify that "Twitter trash" refers to persona he is in Twitter.

People are usually much better outside Twitter.
I think a reasonable summary is that the homemade versions are cheaper and actually more effective than most commercial versions, with the downside that they are usually larger and often noisier. The largest factor for effective air purification is airflow, and the homemade versions offer higher airflow but at the cost of greater noise and looking janky. There are somewhat reasonable fears that the homemade versions might be fire hazards, but in practice they are probably no more dangerous than the bare fans on which they are based. Really, both solutions work just fine. If looking commercial, be sure to consider the cost and availability of replacement filters. If considering DIY, realize that you don't need to get it perfect, almost anything is better than nothing.
Considering the number of problems that arise when someone confuses "authentication" with "authorization", it makes me slightly queasy to see something claim a focus on "auth". :/
If you don’t have to actually make money though, there isn’t really a point to the analytics third parties enable - eliminating bots and click fraud. Microsoft managers are incentivized to not identify bot or noise traffic, since their performance metrics do not separate those.
Well, I use FreeBSD on my personal laptop and work at a company which uses FreeBSD for its appliances. That’s true, FreeBSD’s market share is tiny in comparison to Linux, but it seems like there are still a number of companies looking for FreeBSD developers.

It’s also reassuring that even though FreeBSD ecosystem gets a lot less attention than Linux, it still enables companies like New York Internet to be one of the most reliable hosting companies out there (https://news.netcraft.com/archives/2020/12/02/most-reliable-...).
The simplest answer is probably that events aren't really generated in a one-to-one relationship with API calls, so it's very non obvious at that point what behavior you would expect.

I believe the logic behind associating the current API version with the endpoint you are adding is that you are adding it now so you should use the current API. Perhaps they should let you choose an older version, but there's always some desire to get people to upgrade to the latest version of things.
> Yes, cooking healthy may be "easy" but it's still more work than junk food.

One advantage of intermittent fasting is that it's much less burdensome to make a single, large healthy than it is to make three healthy meals plus snacks.

(Though this can be a double-edge sword. If you wind up eating junk food, like pizza, for your large meal, then it becomes the equivalent of eating junk food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.)
The satellite is looking at the of flight and intensity of the reflected signal, not 'color'. It's basically monochrome. You can make your ceiling either very massive or very conductive to reduce the signal reflected, or install a corner reflector in the attic to overwhelm the sensor with its own high-intensity signals (like taking a photo in a mirror with the flash on).
It is sufficient information. Replace processed food (candy bar) with less-processed (granola bar without added sugar) or non-processed (apple).

People don't like ultra-processed in an partake-abstain framing (like many do with illegal drgus), but they could just apply a how-often, or frequency framing, (like they do with alcohol).

People are just uncomfortable with the responsibility being theirs and are exercising their denial.

The demand for a narrative about evil-FDA or evil-food-corp is HIGH. Everyone could just eat like the healthiest among their friends and family, but you can't sell a story without a villian.
> "is there a maximum RF frequency?"

Isn't this already pretty well understood? For photons, E=h*f, so if you get high enough energy you will start to see pair production happening?
> Such high energy EM radiation can locally interact with the Vacuum Energy State (VES) - the VES being the Fifth State of Matter (Fifth Essence - Quintessence), in other words the fundamental structure (foundational framework), from which Everything else (Spacetime included) in our Quantum Reality, emerges.

Holy cow. This reads like the craziest, most psychotic r/IAmVerySmart post ever. Like that friend from high school who posts batshit stuff on Facebook but practically flunked out of school.
I have a bread maker and it is more ish than same; perhaps it's not a good one. The long fermentation of 'my' recipe means that the gluten develops better giving a better crumb and the cooking method gives a better crust both in structure and colour.
There are common convertible seats which are legal for infants (e.g., Chicco NextFit & Britax Clicktight have a 5lb min weight, Graco 4ever goes down to 4lbs, the Clek seats have an add-on to go down to 5lbs). An infant-specific seat is convenient but not strictly required to be legal.

You don't think they do analytics on users based on these cookies session? Because doing that without the consent pop-up is (I claim above) illegal, and so the clever workaround fails.

I would be really, really surprised if Github were the only Bay Area unicorn that lacked a product manager nagging them for more analytics. The fact that they don't need to sell the analytics is irrelevant.
I hate doing auth and commodity features like user admin along with SSO integration, and hooking it all up to both the front and back end. I'd rather be busy doing business related features.
Given the proprietary nature of the pcm4's interface I'm amazed that they have such high demand right now, but given how that little gigabit chip wildly improves io performance I guess I shouldn't be.
The free software / open source / proprietary software discussion is an important one. For someone new to it, this article is certainly interesting.

For me the question is how to solve this in the context of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs

We'll see there that freedom is pretty much high up in Maslow's hierarchy of needs (it's in the esteem part). Which means, it is very important, but only if your other needs are already met.

Can I live from making free software? How well can I live from

Can you still chain dependent tasks together with the cute ">>" syntax? I like that, makes reasoning about task orderings and co-dependent tasks pretty easy to write and think about.
Many, if not most, cultures outside of Europe are touchy about nudity. Europe is not the forefront of ethical civilization.

Staking is lucrative for customers and is non-trivial to setup. Robinhood and Cash don't offer these services. I guess an argument that can be made is that Coinbase understands the technology and will continue to offer products from the innovative defi/blockchain space. Most people will use Coinbase for its product offerings and security. It sits right between, Robinhood and Uniswap. If defi truly disrupts then I'm sure all financial institutions will start offering staking and defi products, then Coinbase hopefully has some first mover advantage.

>In "Free software is not enough" <https://jfred.dreamwidth.org/479.html>, jfred relies unknowingly on an eerily similar hook as the one from Spitz's take.

jfred here from that link; thanks for putting together this summary. I'd seen some of these before (I mentioned the Malleable Systems Collective in the post) but I hadn't seen some others, and it's nice to see all of these in one place.

>Another way to would be to adopt "non-destructive compilation" techniques to bring about a world where "package distribution is source distribution" at least in the interim <https://wiki.triplescripts.org/wiki/SDIPD>.

GNU Guix does this to some extent. Guix packages are build definitions that refer directly to upstream source URLs rather than source tarballs or binary packages, and while there are typically binary packages available (as long as they've been built on CI, which they aren't always - resource constraints, etc) it's always possible to build any given package locally with `guix build <package name>`. The ergonomics around trying out modifications of these package definitions locally aren't as nice as I'd like, but it's been improving.
