While I agree that commercial incentives are critical to consider, two caveats I'd add:

1) I think the nature and depth of the incentives problem varies a lot by industry. Social media is a really complex case, for example. But I'm most interested in collaborative productivity tools, where I think many companies are okay being incentivized to build the best product rather than build data moats.

2) Cutthroat commercial incentives aren't the only thing that got us here. There are also tech barriers.

If I was starting a Google Docs competitor today, even if I wanted to make it open, I think it would be hard to pull off. What kind of API would I expose to enable realtime editing with good offline mode and conflict resolution? How would I deal with clients that have slightly different rich text representations than my own?

In an alternate universe where we already had a user-owned "web filesystem" with good answers to these questions, I could just hook up my client to that existing system and not even worry about persistence at all. It needs to be _easier_ for devs to build the right thing for users, not harder. And it needs to be a _better_ experience for end users, not a sacrifice. The convenient thing will win.
Suspect they think it's edgy to waste everybody's time by making oblique reference to some perceived slight. I can't work out what the problem is either.

Honestly that's kind of terrifying. I got Covid 2 months ago, and have been trying to start running again to improve my lung capacity. Are you saying I've been making it worse?
So we're not talking about hot code reloading here, we're talking exactly about upgrading nodes in a cluster. Many--I'd say most--Erlang/Elixir deployments today don't do that. They use Kubernetes.

The point is that typical Latino people aren’t in the NYT’s and NPR’s target audience. That’s why those outlets use terms like “Latinx” that polling shows are unfamiliar to most Latinos. (I’m using the example of Fox News just as the banana for scale, so to speak. If you have a preconceived view that people of color who watch Fox News are relatively rare, ones who read the New York Times are rarer still by a large margin: https://images.app.goo.gl/vgyXCnAoS8TdPYU3A)

In the case of men at least some studies have found a correlation between testosterone level and political orientation, something that matches well with my anecdotal observations. It is not outlandish to think this manifests in visual cues in even something as limited as a pic.

I loved working with the Beam VM and Elixir. I just wish it had a stronger presence in the Data/ML/AI fields. As scalable and trivially parallizable as Elixir is with a fast SciPy/NumPy/Pandas type of eco-system and you'd have a fantastic environment for data heavy apps IMO.
+1 to your third point especially. I'll even add that Agile development can be a big bonus in any market that has the potential for rapidly changing needs. Even if you don't lose out to your faster competition you may still end up releasing to a market that's no longer looking for the solution that you "perfected". Agile development allowing you to release a functional product as soon as possible, and adding to it as resources allow means you can pivot your development to meet new demands instead of bogging yourself down trying to produce the perfect solution to a problem that continues to evolve.
In 1980, my Science Faire project involved Class D modulation, with NE555 timers, at 10 Khz, needless to say, the technology to do PWM of high power motors predated that. So, I've been interested in PWM drives for 40+ years.

Turntide has a promo video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osAZeLs6zmY

At 3:04 in the transcript, they say "we have to switch the current on and off really fast 20 000 times a second the computing power software and sophistication required to do that made it quite simply impossible"

This claim is false, otherwise... I'm ok with what they say.

It's true that using a high frequency PWM drive could save a large amount of power in places where the motor wasn't properly matched to load.

The implication that 25% of all electrical power, worldwide, is wasted because of this is very sad, and an opening for profit.

Turntide isn't the only vendor who has products to fix this, though... its not a monopoly.
I think people are vastly underestimating how much gaming sucks even on Windows. Nier: Automata still hasn't received a single PC patch to my knowledge. Many of the games on Windows are ports as well, such as Nier.

The PC has largely taken a backseat to consoles. It's a bit much asking for Linux native, let alone, Linux ports.
not like many people get magazines delivered anymore.

I was surprised to learn that this is just one of those things that people say on the internet. The whole "print is dead" meme.

I ended up in a conference room with a magazine circulation manager in 2019 and asked him about the state of the industry while we awaited the next presentation. He told me it's rebounded quite a lot since about 2005, and some magazines are doing better than ever. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to ask him anything further because the next speaker came in.

But wouldn't this be a reasonable feature used by the classifier to reach its conclusion? They can't control for everything, it would become meaningless.

I think the questions about age/sex/ethnicity are sensible in that it's a valid question to ask whether it's just doing the naive/obvious thing or something more. But if you keep on removing the less obvious things then of course you'll reach a point where it's no better than a coin flip because it's basically comparing blank pictures.
It is the opposite.

From Microsoft BASIC to Javascript, many programmers have worked in languages that only have floats. Financial calculations involve exponential/log math much like scientific problems. There are issues with rounding and representation there (e.g. there is no such thing as $0.01 in floating point, only $0.50, $0.25, $0.125 and some sum of 1/2 fractions that comes very close to $0.01 and even reads in and writes out as $0.01 even though it isn't.)

Yes. I know someone that knew the victim on the island. McAfee is really who is suspected by the local community, because they had frequent disagreements about property boundaries, if memory serves.

Funny aside, McAfee also donated a bunch of malware infected laptops to the Belizean Govt and police force:

Obviously it's looking at something. I feel like everyone is jumping to assuming the authors are implying it's somehow in the person's facial structure, but it doesn't say that.

If it's looking at the quality of the photo, or the trim of the beard, that's still interesting. Among other things, it means that you know analyses like this might start cropping up everywhere you submit your photo (job application cover letter?), and also that humans might be doing this innately with photos and not even realizing it.

If somebody would write an Auth0 replacement over the weekend, that would be great.

Coincidentally I was looking for a self-hosted auth solution today and I can say there isn't anything that's close to as easy to use as just paying for Auth0.

Some decent one's I found where keyclock, glewlwyd and ory, but they where too heavy or complex. I ended up going for caddy-auth-portal, which doesn't even do user management yet.
If you really want to focus on writing, why don't you just use WordPress? My feeling is that SSG is a toy to play with.

I had a SSG blog before. After stop using it for half year and came back, I found I had to relearn the whole thing to be able to make it work again. Add any function is a PITA. Totally wasting of time.
Yeah I’m not sure about that one. I’m sure he wasn’t squeaky clean, but it looks like they framed him on that one.
I would say that Okta was primarily IAM (identity and access management for your employees) and Auth0 was primarily CIAM (customer identity and access management).

So I think they both were aiming at the same customers, just for different use cases.
Yeah, that’s the start. And I think what I’m after is eventually on the way. I’m not sure this would quite work the way I’d like; I guess variables could be passed into the template based on path and it could request different remote content based on that— I’d prefer to be able to use remote resources just like markdown instead of a different workflow.

Again, maybe I haven’t thought about this enough yet.

Exactly that. A great way to learn a language too.
Exactly. There was some fuss a while back about a similar classifier for sexuality. It turned out to be guessing mostly based on head tilt, personal hygiene and whether the person was wearing glasses. The physiognomy component was ~nonexistent even though it was publicized as though it weren’t. People intentionally if at times subconsciously present themselves in a way that signals information to kindred spirits. You’d need to bring in hundreds of people, wash them and basically take mugshots to control for that.

I dropped the "native Linux or nothing" mindset sometime in 2013 when I saw the harm it did to developers. As a disproportionately vocal minority comprising <1% customers but >50% of bug requests, making Linux users happy was pretty literally taking food out of some dev's mouths.

The two goals that actually needed to be achieved were preventing market monopolies and enabling smaller devs, which platform agnosticism has been a welcome and necessary side effect of.

i) Reducing the resource overhead required to publish and support games is make or break for indie/small devs. Just by being Steamplay/Proton aware, compatible games don't require exclusive support, allowing devs to focus on content and expansion instead of learning quirks of all different distro just to be able to support that one user on Hannah Montana Linux. Helping individual customers feels great, but it can become a deadly rabbit hole.

ii) The market aligned against publishing monopolies, which Valve isn't singlehandedly responsible for but has been a major contributor to. Linux native was just a way to get devs and publishers to realize that they couldn't and shouldn't fall prey to the exclusive marketplaces on the rise at the time like GWFL that would only reduce choice and availability for customers and non-AAA devs in the long-term. Breaking OS dependence was key in this.

I think we ultimately want Linux to be able to do whatever we want, be that running video games, powering Mars rovers, or running our HPC clusters. Once software can be run with the same ease on Linux as on Windows, it might as well be Linux native, and non-FOSS Linux purist arguments are confusing and dilute that.
Assuming this analysis has no problems with method, it's likely that the separation of any two groups on a continuous spectrum cannot ever reach 100% accuracy. In fact for such multivariate groupings as opposing political persuasion, 72% may in fact be as good a score as is possible.

Representing the conservative and liberal groups as gaussian mixes of multiple atributes, I would expect those two peaks to overlap. Perhaps the real surprise is that they overlap no more than 28%.

It's easy to talk in platitudes that Nazis' free speech should be silenced when you've never lived somewhere with no free speech or been accused of being a Nazi.
I found it hilarious, but then am I "black enough"? Do I "act white"? I'm not sure I care what people on either side think about it.

Although it is a bit ironic to see so many saviors valiantly offended. The entire SJW thing is more alienating than run of the mill, day to day racism. The gymnastics people pull off are astounding. Next they claim they're doing it on my behalf. Perhaps they'll call me a racist for disagreeing online. Those looking to be offended will always find a way. At a certain point we have to stop indulging them.

Dr. Seuss had some offensive cartoons in his early days, but I don't see that as illustrative of his entire character. I don't recall being offended as a child.

>This is not necessarily a bad thing in itself, of course...but the lack of any real gameplay evolution within that look and feel perhaps is.

So...even back then, EA was in the habit of buying successful game properties and ruining the core gameplay by turning them into essentially interactive movies full of cut scenes.

Sometimes I wonder what video games would be like today if EA and a few other choice companies...cough...activision...Ubisoft...cough just didn't exist at all....
His twitter profile has JoJo references. Wonder if he genuinely enjoys the show or is meming his way into manipulation (i think the latter is the case with alot of these guys who act like "fellow kids")
Yeah it was a jab at your intellectual capacity to follow the threads and topics. Why did I make such a jab? Possibly because you made a jab at how you thought I’m going all over the place and not staying on topic. Tit for tat.

I’m sorry you had to resort to subtle jabs. And No my statement has nothing to do with original topic. It was just a remark that unintentionally spawned a debate.

Perhaps much of the resistance to my argument is influenced by biased opposition to the original topic. I thought HN was above that.

thanks for that article. her critique was as funny as it was biting, but maybe that's more a critique of my own class consciousness =)

having been to this dog park, i can't help giggling at this description:

> "This is not the brand-new Ramones T-shirt sported so conspicuously by needy soul-patched 50-ish alternadads at the Silver Lake dog park."

to be fair, (nearly) everyone at the dog park is nice and friendly.

and on ego fragility as it relates to urbanization:

> "In the relatively affluent post–Cold War era, the search for self-expression has evolved into a desire to not have that self-expression challenged, which in turn necessitates living among people who think and feel just as you do. It’s why so many bohemians flee gritty Los Angeles for verdant Portland, where left-leaning citizens pride themselves on their uniform, monotonously progressive culture—the Zipcars, the organic gardens, the funky graphic-novel stores, and the thriving alternative-music scene. (In the meantime, I’ve also noticed that Portland is much whiter than Los Angeles, disconcertingly white.)"

and quoting gyourko:

> "The city’s new product was lifestyle."

exclusive lifestyle is in exceedingly high demand, so the pressure is to limit immigration and inflate prices in desirable cities.

and finally,

> "All I had to offer was babysitting. Inquired the Wellesley girl: “Can you send me a job description?” I wrote back: “BABYSITTING! $12 an hour!” She took it."

Could someone explain to me what the difference between a computer algebra system like Symbolics.jl and a theorem prover like Coq is?

Is that more in the nuances or is there a fundamental difference between these two (referring to the terms and not their specific implementations in Symbolics.jl and Coq respectively)?

Or is this question unreasonable to ask in the first place?
> McAfee and Watson allegedly engaged in a scheme to exploit the “broad reach” of McAfee’s Twitter account by buying cryptocurrency assets, concealing a plan to liquidate them and then selling most quickly after his endorsements boosted prices, the CFTC said in a court document filed on Friday.

Hopefully this enforcement action will put a damper on some of the many apparent investment schemes around cryptocurrencies. At least ones within reach of US regulators.
I wonder if there'll come a time when people graduate to thinking in tones of grey, rather than trying to boil life down to fortune cookies, or if it's just limited by people's brains.

Take this for instance:

> Self storytelling is so essential for people that one of the most effective techniques for treating depression and anxiety boils down to "tell yourself better stories."

This is trivially false and the author doesn't seem to feel any need to substantiate this wild claim. He's stuck in fortune cookie world where you can just say shit, as long as it feels/sounds good.

Hopefully the internet will expose fortune cookie thinkers to people who actually use their brains for more than talking out of their ass and it'll be a rude wake-up call. Of course brainless people are on a holy crusade to ban speech that doesn't agree with their idiotic ideology, so we'll see who wins out in the end. If history is any indication - idiotic beliefs lose out in the long run, but they sure can destroy a whole lot of lives for centuries in the process.

The ideal for me would be to keep everything pertaining to a game - the game itself, Wine prefixen, Workshop items, screenshots, etc. - in one folder for each game. Like, how hard is it to put everything for, say, Kenshi into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Games\Kenshi" or "~/.local/share/steam/games/Kenshi" (with "compat", "workshop", and of course "game" subfolders for the Wine data, Workshop items, and game data, respectively)?

Like, even if it ain't meant for users to go rooting around in Steam's folders (yet that's a very common occurence anyway), you'd think it'd be the sanest approach for developers, too (both of Steam and its games), no?
On the bright side, maybe censorship will be what finally sparks the Linux Desktop.

Almost any behavior by a company to outdo its competitors can be described as anti competitive, but not all forms are illegal. Straight from the wikipedia page:

> Anti-competitive practices are commonly only deemed illegal when the practice results in a substantial dampening in competition, hence why for a firm to be punished for any form of anti-competitive behaviour they generally need to be a monopoly or a dominant firm in a duopoly or oligopoly who has significant influence over the market.

Since there are many auth providers (ie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_OAuth_providers) in the market, the takeover of auth0 by okta is not a problem for "the market". It is therefore up to the shareholders of auth0 to sell their shares or not and clearly they chose to cash out instead of gambling that they could continue to out-execute okta and their other competitors.
