I don't really know what any of the things you're referring to in this comment mean. Can you expand on what "babytalk" is, maybe with an example? What is a "bullying network"? And what is "honest talk"?
I do get that, but really, B doesn’t have any special sway. They’re just some randos saying that they don’t like A’s posting. While annoying, that’s going to happen on every social network. If I went on Gab and started posting a lot of pro-Biden content, I’m certain plenty of people would tell me to knock it off.

So sure, it’s alright for A to be annoyed by it. That’s definitely not a unique feature of the fediverse, though.

I would argue this encourages innovation in freedom-respecting/open-source software business models.
That's what reinsurance actuaries are for. Of course extremely rare events that have not occurred in living memory are harder to model for than life insurance tables.
I expected something more technical, but instead the points are mainly based on culture (which seems to be a problem for most social networks). In addition, I find it weird that there are several parts where they argue against decentralization. I mean, those are just examples for specific situations, but putting all examples together tells a story of itself.

On the other hand the middle ladder description the nail on the head which is why it makes people around here so uncomfortable.
Can you clarify why you think that no search is conducted when using this data? My understanding of your question is that you think that dragnet operations don't involve searching, which doesn't match reality.

How about teaching children being a respected career? How about laws with teeth requiring employers to respect employee work/life balance, private life?
CSRF problem fixed, thank you and sorry.
> I’m a member of the Django technical board and have been involved with its development for quite a while. Is that widely used or general purpose enough?

That's not quite what I was saying here. Note I said "wide variety of usage", not "widely used". Django is a web development framework—and its purpose is very clear and specific: to build a web app. Crucially, a web framework knows what its encoding constraints are at its boundaries, and it is supposed to enforce them. For examples, HTTP headers are known to be ASCII, HTML files have <meta ...> tags to declare encodings, etc. So if a user says (say) "what if I want to output non-ASCII in the headers?", your response is supposed to be "we don't let you do that because that's actually wrong". Contrast this with platform I/O where the library is supposed to work transparently without any knowledge of any encoding (or lack thereof) for the data it deals with, because that's a higher-level concern and you don't expect the library to impose artificial constraints of its own.

I would like to expand on this

McDonalds has a operating manual - it details exactly how to cook the burgers, how to operate the trash compactor, insurances etc etc. It is how to run a fast food restaurant and it is I am sure proprietary information.

But if they published it under creative commons they would probably not lose a fortune.

Firstly there is already completion in the market - plenty of small one person late night takeaways exist - all of whom have some level of floor quality enforced by regulation, taught by suppliers or simply being fairly obvious.

The mcdonald's effect comes partly from consistency yes, but also supply chain efficiencies and huge marketing costs.

So do we ask, is a Software house that chooses to release FOSS or not actually Mcdonaldds - or are they the department inside mcdonald's that just writes policy operations manuals?

A small team of developers will find it hard to just write code and make a fortune / business / change the world.

which i find infinitely sad now.

But at least i should be wiser.

After getting comfortable with Lisp based languages, it is like Algol derived ones, it is relatively easy to jump between them.

I tend to stay with Clojure, because JVM/CLR is where I spend most of my time, so I can easily pig back into the libraries.

Maybe what you can do is similarly, pick a Lisp variant for the domain you spend most of your time on.

Just out of curiosity, I fully agree with, but do you let employees take off time as needed? Because most people are in the 9-to-5 grind, and the 15 days yearly paid vacation aren't nearly enough.
Great post, I completely agree!

I have debated over this for years while building a self-hosted analytics platform (userTrack.net) and I have always reached the same conclusions: if I open-source it, not only I affect its sustainability but also the business goals would become complete opposite to the product goals (eg. as you mentioned, making it easier to install improves product but affects the business).

I now think that the best way to go is "paid-source": make the product as good as you can, make it as easy to install as possible and the customers who want to use it can pay a reasonable amount for it. I recently changed the pricing model, as the one-time payment was not sustainable, so the product has now an upfront cost + optional yearly maintenance fee (you can use it forever, but if you want new features and support you should support it).

I have used many amazing open-source projects that got abandoned over the years, I would have gladly paid for many of them if that meant sustaining the future development of the project. And, before anyone mentions it, donations are not the answer.

Just because PG/YC has success doesn't mean that a lot of those posts aren't "third beer" observations. PG's essays didn't start the companies, and they're fair-game for criticism IMO.
My point in the comment to which you responded is not that entirety of each constituent stage of the semiconductor production cycle belongs entirely to a different country. Rather, I contend that the lion's share of each constituent stage is maintained by a different country.

I agree that Korea has competitive processor designs. Of course, even Samsung uses many Qualcomm SoCs and licenses many Qualcomm patents. If you remove US-developed design IP entirely from the Samsung portfolio, how many Samsung products would be affected? I think many.

Since android 10 and its desktop mode would be nice to have virtual displays there as well. On rooted phones it shouldn't be hard to get such a driver into a kernel. Android distros like LineageOS would be probably more than happy to incorporate such a solution.

Another thing is Linux, drivers for virtual screen already exist, check xvfb and xorg-video-dummy
Fix the Senate I: Scrap the filibuster
Linux isn't written with the use case of using bits of it in isolation in mind. Sure, you can do that, but the Linux developers don't have making that easy as a design goal, so it will often be quite hard, and even when it isn't so hard that is just an accident. By contrast, the OSKit developers had as an explicit design goal to make it easy to use bits of their code in isolation from the rest.

Linux gives no API stability guarantees for its internal APIs, only for the system call interface. By contrast, the OSKit developers intended the API of each component to be a stable documented interface. The Linux developers don't want Linux's internal APIs to be stable documented interfaces because that has a cost in that it slows down refactoring, which in turn reduces the various benefits that refactoring can produce (better performance, better maintainability, new features, etc)

As time passes, new things come, new challenges. For example, computer fraud, health practices, research, nuclear weapons. Each of the new law passed to address any of something like this, is known as amendment. At the same time, any changes are also known as amendments.
It is not a conspiracy to do anything in ones power (eg voting) to prevent the use of nuclear fission energy production because one believes that such energy production will not be sufficiently safe.
Naming fields is a small pain, the PITA is that JSON does not have native encoding for enum/variant/sum types. So now there are multiple ways to encode them: internally tagged, externally tagged, adjacently tagged, implicit/untagged. And JSON schema does not solve that at all: you can write schemas for all of them, but they do not convey the same information in the end languages even if they have all the type capabilities.
If the vaccines both create the same spike protein, in formual as well as folding(which they should since they are, in theory, made with the same coded mRNA sequence) it may not make any difference, obe that has not been tested.
I wonder what would happen if two vaccines of different molecular provenance were used? One being mRNA and the other an inactivated virus or vector vaccine(each with their respective adjuvant) - would we get a synergism? One that might give a final response that is better then either?
Or would we end up with a 75% or lesser response?
I think an analysis of her antigenic state via blood sameples over the next 3 months would be worth looking at.
We have seen that coronus virus vaccines fade in efficacy, so a synergistic approach mighe have merit. The Russian Sputnik vaccine uses two different adenoviruse vector for shot one and shot two. The theory being that the human adaptive immune response might suppress the initial adenovirus vector if it sees it in shot two - that is their theory. Russia has capable immunologists and they whould not be tarred with any cold war aspects.

Yes. $500K+ is roughly L6 at Google or the equivalent at another FAANG. It's quite a bit easier and less risky to get to that level than to start a business that nets $500K+ annual profit. (Believe me, I tried.)
yeah I replied in sibling thread, mostly topic based instances and federation is the problem. (when identity is bound to host)

When I first saw Mastodon and topic based servers, I was thinking "photography" hosts will federate between each other, "developers" between each other etc. If you are a photography liking developer, you will have 2 accounts, one in "photographers in SF" instance, another one "developers in SF" maybe.

I had a problem at work with Microsoft X.509 certificate management. I even found the reasonably capable, actual decision-making person who did X.509 at a conference, and he was pretty clear: nothing I said to him there, or in any other forum was going to change pace inside the company on the problem at hand. (he did point out it affected the DoD so I was somewhat assured it was going to get fixed)

OTOH when it was pointed out how badly Microsofts TCP implementation behaved, they did make changes. So "it depends"
The commit messages to amendments are a missed opportunity here.
I understand your point. But actually these are the standard terms that companies in the US pretend that users have agreed to. I just put it in more explicit language. There are always clauses about not promising merchantability, etc. For me, it means that I intend to and will try to provide what I promise, but if it breaks you have agreed not to sue me.

I've got to say, my mother was on the frontlines of COVID during the first lockdown.

It's so weird to think after risking her life, stressing over insufficient PPE, worrying that she'd make my father sick, scares over the slightest cough... that there's people like this, who are still in this bizarre world where "it's just a flu".

I mean to me this:

> yes someone out there will say their situation was bad - but the vast majority of those with Covid it was not bad

Do you comprehend what it's like when it does end up being bad? Have you seen what people dying from COVID actually look like? I still get stressed out just recalling a video that showed a patient with COVID in a hospital hallway taking these horrible rapid short breaths that didn't seem to be doing anything for them.

What you described is why COVID is so deadly to society as a whole. The people it "barely affects" get off with a flu (and often some lifetime complications but that's a special treat for later when we start seeing the long term effects of an inflamed heart) and the "few" it affects end up being massive drains on our healthcare system. Then the people who end up between those two extremes end up with a less prepared healthcare system and so on...

I found myself driving much more carefully post-COVID the times that I have because if I get in a serious accident something tells me the standard of care is not going to be near where it normally is....

Of course, the same people who talk tough like this and think "oh well if I get COVID just let me die! I probably won't die from it anyways!" are inevitably some of the same people who end up fighting for their lives in dark rooms alone regretting everything that lead them there...

> The problem is on a higher-level: If you have ever tried to read your way through some library, e.g. Spring, you'll see code spread over hundreds of files, and it takes ages to just find out where that particular bit of code you need is, because it's automatically injected in some builder class which is an inner object extending some other object that implements an interface somewhere.

There is nothing about Java the language which forces code to be written this way though.
UEFI sort of handles this, even if the spec is absurdly huge. It contains portions referring to standardized ways of interacting with Wi-Fi cards and other devices, even if not all firmware supports it. I started an OS project[1] a while ago based on it.

The comment above was about how running ssh forwarding correctly on windows is involved and has awful UX, which is true in my experience too.

Tailscale has much better UX, so it solves that problem.

In addition, wireguard is just as simple to setup as ssh (again in my experience), can operate over local LAN too, and some people have found it to have better performance than ssh forwarding (such as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21162273).

Unfortunately, on both Windows and Mac, open-source solutions don't exist because no single developer wants to deal with driver signing.

On Linux, you can do this a number of ways:

- the evdi kernel module can create fake video outputs (I'm currently working on a CLI for it - stay tuned)

- xrandr can force-enable disconnected video outputs (I believe even if you've used up all the CRTCs)

- xrandr with Intel drivers can create virtual screens

- swaywm has a config option to make virtual screens
