I see all this as a heartwarming story where a company was forced, with a "trap" set by GPL and its philosophy, to offer people for once a square deal: good hardware, fairly priced, you are free to do with it what you want. All this serves human needs better and the manufacturer could in fact turn a profit.

There is a faint, faint glimmer of hope that this is a peek of the far future of our techno-political-economic system. Of course with very different laws around intellectual property, company governance, customer protection, terms of participating in the market etc. We might be as far from it as the Enlightenment in 1750 (in a world built on overt serfdom and not even fully developed colonialism) was from the year 2000, but still. Makes me feel a teensy bit better about doing the right thing today, just because.

Good point. The Vice President does not get life time Secret Service. Considering the death threats directed at Mike Pence, delivered by insurrectionists while they sought him out at the capitol, I think the Congress should take up the issue of extending Secret Service protection to him for some period of time beyond the usual 6 months, should Trump not be convicted prior to January 20th. (I don't like the guy but I think he and his family should be protected.)
It's not difficult. We've done it before and have code for it. See the article.

I’m a huge fan, but I also think that merely leveraging type checking with jsdoc is powerful.

It also keeps me more honest because I’m not going through the trouble of typing a parameter or variable just to make it any.
A species on a planet with low gravity or the ability to hibernate might have a different tech tree than humanity.

That being said, my bet is on the side that most species send AI to different solar systems before biological ones arrive.
I don't see any mention of how in reality its because the profits are cordoned off by a select few. Consider the Alaska Permanent fund - Appalachia and its industry could provide for its poor, but it doesn't.

Youtube videos:

1. Clément Mihailescu has a good summary done in less than fifteen minutes.

2. FreeCodeCamp.org has a long video.
Honestly:

- in a physical photo book. This forces me to be more selective, so only the best pics are printed (less than 300 pics)

- their digital counterparts are backed up in: one pendrive, one hard drive, one cloud provider. I update the backups every 6 months or so

I have no idea if the digital pictures will be accessible in 30 years, so I try to keep myself up-to-date regarding this topic (every 5 years or so). It's not very difficult to migrate a few hundred pics to a new kind of storage system/format.

This can actually be solved using smart contracts in bitcoin, it is built into the underlying bitcoin opcodes -- CSV https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0112.mediawi...

This is the underlying mechanism for Unilateral Channel Close in the lightning smart contracts (on bitcoin), a timeout spend clause.

No, that might be the point of Gatekeeper but the point of SmartScreen is to warn you when you are running uncommonly downloaded software. You might be right that it is cheaper to buy a guaranteed exception for Gatekeeper than it is to buy a guaranteed exception for SmartScreen though, but I don't think that is relevant when you don't really need an exception for SmartScreen at all.
FWIW, "assemble the hardware themselves" means buy a > 5 year old desktop computer and add a multi-port PCI-express NIC. Or even a USB3 -> Ethernet adapter.

"Chasing liberty". Given recent events, I'm not sure that US citizens possess the personal responsibility necessary to avoid self-harm.

To anyone who disagrees: how do you square this with calls for censorship on "dangerous information"?

Essentially, it seems the "average American" can no longer be trusted with rope - they're liable to hang themselves. I don't remember this as a child. I don't know what's happened to us.

Were you doing a lot of logic in SQL itself? Sounds like not really, but then I'm surprised you'd have so many tests hitting the DB directly, vs most feature logic living above that layer in a way that doesn't need the DB running at all.
I love how self-absorbed the tech world is.

"Big Tech" Tech doesn't control things, that's frankly silly. Is it a cancer on our culture? In some cases absolutely (FB/Twitter/Insta for example).

But the reality is as it always has been. Big money controls things. The guy really driving the bus at this point is pretty much Larry Fink, who sits on top of a 7.8 trillion dollar fund that effectively controls the markets...like all of them. (there are other large funds but this one is I think the largest). Matt Levine touches on this topic in a piece from last summer: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-06-25/the-go...

Larry's gotta be super happy to have people distracted by this "Big Tech" nonsense, keeps his shadow government off the radar screens.

And really only a very small number of people relative to the broader population actually care that Trump was de-platformed. Frankly it was long overdue. Putin lost his useful idiot (oh well, easy come easy go...), but The Republic, and the broader country appears to have flushed the toilet on a zero-value-add liability.

It's worth noting the markets didn't miss a beat over the last two weeks. Go figure....
I know of another one called POW! made by indie developer Benedicte Raae:

So then every engineer needs to install & maintain a database on their machines. (Hope they install the right version!)

traitors inside the republican party have allowed this to go on, good example of a backstabber is Mike Pence.
I don’t think “wanting to live and not spread around a deadly disease” is some overly-woke activist cause or concern-trolling.

It’s ok to admonish people for drunk driving, which is a lot like “horsing around during a global pandemic”: optional, careless risk-taking behavior, that is risky for both you and everyone else. Why is it fine to shame people for drunk driving but not for spreading COVID?
I don't know about Ireland in particular. But my sense is Covid restrictions many places in the Western world have begun crude and unfriendly to the individual because that's what's simple, cheap and what doesn't cost businesses money (with the US the worst but not the only offender). The US still isn't requiring sick-leave, isn't requiring safe working conditions around Covid.

Basically, not considerate of people's situation until people are at the breaking point and then just opening the flood gates.
Not the OP, but 1) officials in several EU countries have recently said that restrictions will probably exist until very late 2021, because even in a best-case scenario not enough of the public will be vaccinated until then. I personally would not accept borders being closed for so long among fraternal European countries. Even more seriously, the mass events and ordinary courtship opportunities that are so important for young people coming of age, should not be put off so long. (I am most opposed to lockdowns because I think it is the biggest betrayal of young people since ’68.)

As for claims of “long COVID”, these are largely unverified and a media creation. (Clinical studies do exist, but the definition of “long-term symptoms” used among specialists is often not as dramatic as the one found in sensational newspaper coverage.) Many of the people claiming to have the condition have never even tested positive for COVID, and it can be seen as broadly the same demographic that, before this epidemic, claimed to have “chronic Lyme” in the complete absence of any evidence.
I completely agree. Comment voting has plenty of problems. However, I haven't found or thought of a better solution so I try to make do with what we have.
Civilian, at first. But your question implies that civilian x national security would involved different recommendations. Thus, the direct (and current) answer is working as a civilian. However, in the case of national security, what would be the difference in your recommendations?

I dunno, opiates in particular are scary to use recreationally.

I'm firmly in support of full legalization, but that doesn't mean that it's a great idea to nip out to the local smartshop and buy some horse.
I'm firmly convinced that if a Chinese maker made a 100% open source keyboard or mouse, they could sell that for $30 instead of $3, and establish a global brand to boot.

Same thing for a lot of hardware, actually. Printers. Scanners. Etc.
Interesting - you think he can pull this off?

It'll be interesting to see what happens, I had written them off as on the path of inevitable decline and irrelevance.

If they have someone as CEO who understand the existential threat they're facing from everywhere maybe they'll survive.

The irony of the other top comment is that the AMD threat wasn't the competitive threat that mattered. AMD is also screwed.
Then, why are there several countries with much stricter drug laws than the US (e.g. Singapore has the death penalty).

You know, I thought I was the only one who felt this way - but it is really annoying.

I help out on an open source emulator/game project and wound up becoming the de-facto "Mac guy". I don't mind it, but I do find myself annoyed with the people who deride the platform for not being either Windows or Linux.
Thank you - I totally missed your point.
Maybe. Apple has solved the chicken and egg problem regarding software compatibility by forcing everyone to move on to ARM in the near future. Microsoft will not abandon x64 though, so there are far less incentives to port things. Also Microsoft cares far more about compatibility (e.g. 32-bit software). That means means a lot of things will run under a Rosetta 2 like system (probably less efficient if you need to support 32-bit as well). If you add the fact that Qualcomm is unlikely to match Apple in performance, the resulting product might not be very appealing compared to a classic x64 system.
Master typescript and you will be rewarded greatly! It is a fantastic tool with a very high level of adoption already. It makes React significantly easier to write and refactor. You won’t ever go back to plain .js!

Deno is not relevant enough, I would wager 99.99% of the existing projects you might find yourself working on in the next few years will be using node somewhere in the stack. It shouldn’t be hard to pick up deno when it eventually does show up.
I've seen a lot these projects recently. I have used MLFlow for a while and enjoyed it. How does this compare?

>We are happy to have over 99% of our IPv4 and IPv6 -Space covered under a Route Origination Authorization, and that we are right now dropping RPKI invalid routes in every single Point-of-Presence for AS16509.

Also, it sounds like an unsigned route - which I think most BGP announcements are - is still accepted, right? Any idea when we can start to require routes be signed?

american labour law is a joke, and outside of the 1% circles on HN, workers in the US have terrible working conditions for a western, developed nation.

also, a cultural thing I don't see talked about much on HN is that many Europeans are critical of capitalism and are far more class conscious then most Americans (from my personal experience).
>Buy tech instead of offering endless (paperwork intensive) subsidies.

Which would be gov competition which in the current status quo of EU governance is a big nono.
The US cares a bit less about that and it's companies got the clout, the money and keep buying out EU ones in new markets or existing ones.
China obviously cares even less and will straight up do what you said.

What Europe needs is a lot of different changes, it needs to ramp up it's market unification and notably some protectionism to let it's local companies mature and prevent even mature ones from being Nokia'd or the like.

>Harmonize markets so you can just sell everywhere without having to fund the local civil servant union by filling the new-and-special-snowflake paperwork for every country you want to sell to.

That's something the EU is very slowly doing.
The older Unifi routers, USG-3 and USGPRO-4, can run wireguard. The annoyance is, that you must configure it via config.gateway.json file and reinstall it after each firmware update. They also run without cloud accounts.

I cannot argue against this sentiment, you are correct. The question though is - how do we fix it? How can we get back on the right track without taking away civil liberties. How can we lead and inspire instead of command or dictate?

I am really surprised by the reactions you are receiving. I think this is a very important topic of discussion to try and approach without bias.
Silly question, won't this push anyone with piles (haemorrhoids) to the doctor? Isn't that vastly more than the 5% they expect?

Google engineering expenses are 16%.

It makes no sense not to compete on the consumer side. The enterprise side has enormous barriers to entry, like a long sales cycle, RFPs, security audits etc. Office 365 simply offers more, plus with a familiar interface that doesn't require extra training for end-users.

Who is going to be championing Dropbox on the enterprise buyer's side? Employees that are satisfied consumers or the IT office that uses the same 4-5 vendors for everything?

I think this is a good counter point, which is why I made a version of emacs fully scriptable from javascript and typescript [0]

If you only ever worked in JS (browser and/or server), branch out. Try different things instead, it'll make you a better JS developer (and better developer in general) if you try to learn things that are far out from your current skill set. If you're into types, go for Haskell or Erlang. If you're into dynamic runtimes, go for Clojure or Smalltalk.
I don’t have a stake in this argument here.

But, how do you feel about American or European companies, where their senior management are all white men?

And where Asian-American men, of say Chinese descent, feel that they will never be allowed into the higher ranks of upper management.

I think these folks also feel marginalized, and are restricted by glass ceilings too.

Some of the more resourceful ones, strike out on their own, and start their own companies. But those are few and far in between.
Seems like they thought they could make the game playable on consoles in the 5 or so days until launch. Classic software engineering mistake and definitely mismanagement.
392 days between impeachments. Impressive.
As technologists we have always had a responsibility beyond just doing the job. We don’t all see it that way I know, but for example we choose to use encryption for reasons that should not even be up for discussion. We have platforms and services that can be used to provide some direction to society, when we as fellow human beings see it going awry. Sure there are those who will overstep the mark, but you cannot hide anymore and this is the reality that any would be fascist has to face.
Sure, but by that logic React and Angular shouldn't be there either.

> I can't find the number, but I'm honestly curious. How much did a printing press cost in 1796?

From what I can find about £16 (the price I found was 15 guineas) in England, so, via inflation calculators and currency conversion, around $2,000 (yes, the conversion had more details, but more than one sig fig here is definitely false precision.)

Operating costs would probably take more digging.

One thing I've noticed, as someone who's helped out on the macOS side of things for an open source project or two, is that the Mac/AppKit/Cocoa documentation issue is a barrier here.

There are absolutely OSS maintainers who wouldn't mind patching things for macOS... if they could figure out the expected behavior/etc. I've fixed things for projects that I only know about from plumbing around in AppKit for a few years now.

That's a good point, drunk driving is still very popular in Portland among the 40+ crowd (source: anytime I'm at an event with people over 40, they slam 3-4 drinks, and drive home like it's nothing)

But a long time ago, drunk driving wasn't really known to be a bad thing. And nowadays it has a pretty bad social stigma.
From a business perspective, this is how to succeed. From a shareholder perspective, this is how to fail. They are diametrically opposed, which is hysterical. There can be overlap, but not until your original sword is sharpened to a razors edge, to borrow a phrase.

No, they're arguing that it much harder for a private entity (or even a group) to block distribution of information in the late 1700s.

And, I think he's arguing that FB/Twitter/Apple/Google/Amazon have a (near) monopoly on truly mass communication on the internet. Sure, we're on HN, and anyone can read it. Not many will, though.

In very recent versions of Windows 10 WSL will even add directly to File Explorer a shortcut in the usual Locations pane (left-hand panel with quick folders/PC/whatnot) to \\wsl$ with a Tux icon. It's amusing seeing Tux every time you open File Explorer, and possibly even more amusing that Microsoft is installing that shortcut themselves.
