HN never ceases to amaze me. This is a post on pattern of exploitative and anti-competitive behavior of AWS. Somehow HN crowd found a way to whine about Google. Every single day multiple anti-Google posts on HN front page was not enough.

Like the Dell Precision 6800 above? The one where the latest supported linux was so decrepit that it wouldn't install Firefox and Chrome without manually building newer versions of some of the dependencies?

"System76 is better at this than Dell" is valid feedback, but System76 doesn't have the enterprise recognition to be a choice you can't be fired for.

From the wikipedia article on exile: "In Roman law, exsilium denoted both voluntary exile and banishment as a capital punishment alternative to death."

When something is an alternative to death, I think it's fair to say that it was not a trivial event. "Just" moving somewhere wasn't easy, historically.

I think we have a very different view about the goals of OSS then, and I think your idea of its goals is narrower.

I wish all software could be at least source-available and preferably available under even more liberal terms if that could be made to work. That way we could see how things work, learn from things, debug with the benefit of source, port things to different platforms or fix platform problems without waiting for the vendor, contribute if for no other reason than experience, and preserve software after vendors go belly-up without having to resort to emulating old platforms whole cloth.

I also wish there was mainstream adoption of open software for privacy and security reasons. I wish people could use operating systems, web browsers, messengers, and so on whose source could be audited so people could understand privacy implications.

That would all give us more freedom and more transparency, but it also requires a business model to sustain those kinds of projects. As it stands nobody outside geekdom uses open source software because there is no business model to sustain OSS with the degree of polish demanded by end users.

I would hope we could have both. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the policy platforms of any politicians who have claimed to be in the middle.

Being left or right doesn't mean that you necessarily have to throw reason and critical thinking out the window. Being an extremist, sure; devotion to dogma is often a feature of extremism, but that's not the same thing.

This has been pointed out before, but the Hippocratic license is not an open source license as defined by the OSI[1]. The author of the licence, Coraline Ada Ehmke, argues that OSI does not define what is and isn't open source[2]. My personal view is that re-using a well-established name (brand?) for a purpose not aligning to the brand's mission[3] is disingenuous. On a broader level I don't think it will be helpful to either side: detracting from true open source licences on one side and detracting from arguments made by Coraline on the other (since every announcement will be subject to comments like this).

That's why I'm pleased that the new organisation is called the Organization for Ethical Source. I think that there are plenty of interesting arguments around the Hippocratic licence, and calling it "Ethical Source" would be (IMHO) a much better term, both from describing what it does and avoiding the comparisons to open source licenses / criticisms from open source purists.

This sounds like the sort of statement that is self-evident to folks with a CS education (I studied math, and all my CS/programming knowledge is self-taught). I'll add that to my _long_ backlog of things that I should research to get over my imposter syndrome :)
Couple of things:

1) I'm not an American and don't give a shit about American politics

2) Do you think that Russian interference changed the result of the election? If it didn't than the huffing and puffing about the Russians stealing the election is just as false as Trump's current claims

3) Trump supporters can equally point to affidavits and "evidence" about vote tampering. Whether you believe that evidence or not is another story.

My point was not about trump or biden stealing the election, it was that institutional trust is low. People no longer believe what the government or the media put out. No doubt some of this is driven by the "narrative approach" to truth, where everything tells a story that aligns to a group's ideology.
That blue screen of death wasn't just for show.
It is definitely not compliant with the GPL family of licenses, so this could block GPL licensed projects from using your library.

Friend just got the vaccine, they asked her to sit in her car and call them if anything happened.

Part of her arm went numb, they said that was normal. It freaked her out a bit and she yelled to someone else waiting in their car, and they said they were quite nauseous.

Seems like a reasonable compromise.
One page as a data point is way too small to conclude anything. It could totally be some uploaders just happened to dump a batch of illustrations with males since he/she likes it.

There are tags for male/female which will be a better representation.

1girl: 3038k
1boy: 559k

(Note: these tags are used when there is only 1 character with this gender presents. But it's good enough.)

Your idea about they filtered images could still be true, to be clear.

In a narrow set of use cases, yes. In the vast majority of use cases---building applications with Elastic for data---no.
This is so broad and interpretable that it means whatever the author wants it to mean that day. I am worried about how it empowers woke attacks and cancel culture. How can you make sure a software that makes use of a library under this license is never used in a bad way after you release it?
I only know from friends living there, take anything I say as speculations, but what I gather is that they see open source as a technical advantage over starting from scratch, it's not a spontaneous movement.

it makes sense from the point of view of a country that has gained a leading position worldwide from accurately reproducing something that already existed.

judging from the number of Linux distro they are releasing I think they are pretty serious about it.
You don't appreciate freedom of speech until you personally lose it. That usually happens after others you don't like have already lost theirs.
> Again, the fact that power user mods exist ruins that claim for you.

It's a far jump from "users who moderate to multiple subreddits" to "have power over most of the site". And if they mod one or multiple subreddits doesn't have much of an impact on other subs they are not involved with.

> Also, the fact that this power tripping seems to be a norm across much of the site now also shows this is not the case.

doesn't mesh with what I'm seeing, so "citation needed" on it being the norm.
Apple produces a new build of iOS or MacOS every 24 hours. For the many years that I had to suffer through that, about 40% of those builds were dogshit and unusable. The public gets the 360th release, and hopefully by then the PMs have driven enough burnout in the engineers that it is mostly acceptable to users.
The current version is 84 so you might need an update.
It would be a great place for pirate open source.
No, but my point is one guy wrote it and has made a lot of money from it. He has been more than compensated for his work.

Any money made from here on out is not based on the work of creating the software, but on helping people use it. If Amazon does a better job of that than Elastic, than they should win the competition.
I think a better intermediate step would be to get rid of winner take all electoral college votes. Do it by county. This would move closer to a democracy but still retain the form of a republic.
there's no guarantee that 2 requests kicked off at the same time will arrive or complete at the same time. When time is an axis (often y axis), typically we see parallel lines in sequence diagrams, when in reality they will often cross the latter request will actually arrive/finish before the earlier request.

Additionally, any reasonable system will have timeout + retry, but it's not possible to differ btwn timeout and inordinately delayed. Meaning your requests maybe replayed many times, and the system frequently doesn't handle that well

Customizable AI-Generated Anime Waifus
Because the URL is naturally short so you have to be very selective about what you put in it. So if the URL is "on topic" the page likely is. Just like if the domain is "on topic" it is very likely the site is, because it is short and hard to change.

IIUC some of the biggest factors that Google uses for the page itself (network effects obviously play a huge part) are domain, url then title. If you notice these are fairly space limited and user visible which means that it is harder for the website author to spam these with possibly relevant keywords.
...except this time it's literally just marketing material for a giant corporation hawking junk food. The opposite of culture jamming, I guess.

Disagree. I find links to repositories to be less accessible than blog posts.
I dispute this. Craigslist may appear to work better however:

- Many unbundled categories have far better products available now. AirBnB and Trulia are great examples.

- In areas Craigslist still has a hold, such as in rental housing, what we don't see is the cost of Craigslist's failure to provide advanced features. This includes people getting scammed, and bad landlords continuing on without record just like bad taxi drivers prior to Uber/Lyft.
True, true (and heh, it was me who pushed for Oracle, oops)

But ... the difference is that Oracle wasn't a platform in the sense that (e.g.) AWS is. Oracle as a corporation could vanish, but as long as you can keep running a compatible OS on compatible hardware, you can keep using Oracle.

If AWS pulls the plug on you, either as an overall customer or ends a particular API/service, what do you do then?

> I like some of the ideas of the Right that they believe that States are governments to experiment with

That's mostly feels like just all talk, though. A concrete example: California would love to do some health care experiments, including going single-payer. However, the state can't do so without permission from the federal government to use Medicare funding in different ways (obviously there is no way a state could fund something like that itself without state-level tax increases that would never get past the electorate). GOP-controlled Congress would never go for that, in part because they don't want to be seen by their base as "supporting socialism", and also in part (I'm conjecturing here) that they're afraid that it'll work and they'll be proven wrong.

From the GOP's perspective it more seems like "states should experiment... as long as they're experiments we agree with".

This was my biggest take-away from the article too. It never occurred to me to even try interacting with a CLI application with my mouse.

I'd appreciate it if more developers considered 'discoverability' as a core part of their design philosophy. I think the author is close, but when you need to ask someone/search 'why is this green?' that's enough of a barrier that most people won't bother asking (or it'll be a small enough issue that they don't consciously notice it).

There's even a generally accepted solution for explaining semantic colours, a legend. Might be nice to have one down with the F-keys.
I think you're trying to stretch a point here, use the term censorship when that's not quite called for. You're trying to say x is equivalent with y, and readers are supposed to realise that this makes x bad.

When you do that, you run the risk that readers instead think that y is good. In this case, that they might think Trump etc. have learned to exploit and misuse freedom of speech such that the practical result is an overdose of misinformation, worse than censorship. "So yes, he's right, let's legalise censorship."
Hard to say because they seem to be letting others do the innovating and then they just copy what works.

My favorite rust state-machine-ism is consuming self by value when you transition. In combination with generics and From, this allows you to ensure that states are only ever entered into via the transitions you encode by implementing the trait, and because the previous state is totally consumed it makes the transitions super clear.
It is not limited to the title of “Professional Engineer”. If the software or activity could harm someone or the environment so the activity matches the definition of “professional engineering” defined in the Act and the programmer or person undertaking the activity is calling themselves anything with engineer in the title and are not a P. Eng then they could be fined under the Act.

In Canada One needs to be careful as to what projects they take on if they are calling themselves anything with engineer in the title.

Right now it is better for the customers, but that doesn't mean it will continue to be this. You assume that once/if Bezos crushes the rest of the competitors he won't start significantly increasing prices.

We saw something similar in the 90s where health care prices plummeted as the now winners developed and convinced the public that their monopolies were good. Now they are able increase prices by 15-20%/yr into the foreseeable future.

This is not a prediction (per se), but a statement that we should realize that monopolistic might be good for the consumer in the short term but bad in the long term.

There has been a lot of talk about working from home becoming the new norm and living within 1-2 time zones of your work. It's possible in that scenario for a lot of heavily-populated blue cities to disperse, even if it's only 10%-15% of their population, into what are now known as the 'Red States' and make them 'Blue.' I know I'm interested in doing that. I can move someplace where my quality of life is better and I can afford a better home. It's going to be interesting to see how the demographics change at the end of this pandemic.
