When Not to Innovate – News Break
People who code still make mistakes. There's got to be an override of some sort
A decade ago, Artsy had to move away from art.sy when Syria was sanctioned by the US.

The .ly’s and Libya were around that time too, I’m not sure if any of them were affected though.
> It sounds rather like customers get source access.

Technically, you could provide binaries and a GPL license, then provide source code when verified customers (eg they send their receipt/license number with their request) ask for it.

IANAL, but as far as I can tell, there's nothing in GPL that says you can't sell the software and operate this way. If your customers hand out the binaries to third parties, that's on them to provide the GPL and source code, not you. And of course, they could sell, re-release, etc, but anyone else could come and do the same to them.

It's risky, to be sure, and it feels "wrong" only because we've become conditioned to the status quo of so-called "intellectual property". Frankly, I would love if I could write open source software for a living, but there's a big fear of letting go of a steady paycheck (and benefits!), but that has more to do with entrepreneurship fears than software licenses.
Takeaways:

-Crystals can be symmetric in Space... (I knew this already...)

-A "Space-Time Crystal" (aka "Time Crystal") (if one exists!) is a crystal which is symmetric in Space AND symmetric (aka Cyclical) in Time...

-Which brings up the Fourier transform... that is, time-domain to frequency-domain, or frequency-domain to time domain... perhaps the Fourier transform can be used to invert the time-domain with the space-domain, or perhaps the "frequency-domain" is another word for "space-domain"... I am speculating aloud here...

Future To-Do: Determine the relationship between the "frequency domain" and the "space domain"... are they the same thing? Are they something different? We'd think of a "space domain" as how structures are laid out in space; that is, information, because all state (for example, the periodicity of crystal structures, but other non-crystal structures too) are by nature, information.

OK, now back to my list of "takeaways"...

-Apparently (according to the video) DNA is a crystal and/or crystalline in structure... I hadn't heard this one before -- but it sounds logical (crystal = repeated pattern in space, DNA can be thought of as either a repeating pattern in space (if we ignore the fact that any given set of pairs can be different than the one before, or not...)), but, I need to do more future future research on this one...

-"Magnons" -- I had not heard this term before this video...

-There apparently is some relationship between Quantum bits and Magnons (I had not heard this one before!)

Conclusion: This video is well worth watching at least a few times over, in the future! There's a ton of "weird/fringe" (AKA, super-super-interesting!) scientific ideas here!

As Mr. Spock would say... "Fascinating!"... <g>

I like the idea that this does not require a download or account setup. It is not clear from your documentation how the url that I get will look like after I run the command -
```ssh -R 80:localhost:8080 localhost.run```

I think it would be good to make that clear. For example, I currently use https://ngrok.io whenever I need to make an app running on my localhost available over the web and it gives you something like - https://XXXXX.ngrok.io
this is like paywalled blogspam.
Actually, I think there are some factual inaccuracies here, but I'm going to avoid a contest that resembles "no, you provide more references", and say what I know personally from long observation.

I'm a lifelong, devoted and imperfect member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who has had lessons to learn (and I trust/hope I have learned them and will keep learning); I'm not any kind of official rep. What I believe and understand to be doctrinally at the core of things, is that all but One have sinned (we are imperfect people in an imperfect world), which makes us unclean, and no unclean thing can dwell with God, who knows everything and has made a way for us to become clean, having learned some things. If we confess our sins (appropriately), and forsake them (meaning change, even if it takes a lifelong effort, keep trying always to improve and honestly go forward), then we are forgiven. Everyone over, say, 8, can understand enough of that.

We can't deceive God. But we can be clean and forgiven, because Jesus Christ himself paid the price of our sins, if we choose to follow Him. And, honesty before an all-knowing God is more important than saving our lives, because we know life continues beyond mortality, and this knowledge is personal -- for me, it doesn't depend on what someone else said or might say, because I have learned it (enough for some decisions) for myself, not due to pressure or whatever. There are dear family members who have disaffiliated with the Church, openly, and we love them and they are always included in our lives, certainly not shunned! (That would be bad -- they are our family and we would be deeply sad otherwise -- similarly for many others, neighbors etc.) Freely making choices per one's honest conscience, in the absence of compulsion, is very central. And God will be the judge, not rumors or such, so what He thinks is vastly more important to me than what "people" think (though I should try not to make false impressions on "people", too).

I think it is hard to blackmail someone who truly believes this. Jesus said (as I recall): ~ "...ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." And many other relevant things. (More on my personal views, linked from my profile. But I'm just me.)

Individuals in any large group will have a variety of political or other opinions. Edit: and human flaws. Ultimately, we should love everyone (also a commandment), but in the final end, we don't answer to "people", and trust is ... earned by behavior over time (IMO).
Is that really true though? If they have the original recordings (which have a much better dynamic range than vinyl) the digitally remastered ones can indeed be more true to the sound of the original recording.

Why can't I create an MTF that looks identical to a popular one that has already been sold? I can sell that fake NTF to myself for the same price the real one sold (so it looks like it has value and is real). Then I can market mine as the real one and sell it to someone for a profit.

I'm saying that it's funny how we're coming back round to something that used to be accepted. That makes materialism the abberation, not idealism.

This is metaphysics, not physics. Physics is a set of models about what should happen in response to specific events (modelling cause and effect); metaphysics is about trying to understand the nature of reality.
Sorry, yeah, trip. Park the Smart Meter too close the GFCI and it induces enough current to cause it to fail-safe, breaking the circuit.
Since domain names are globally unique, there is no solution. The number of name consumptions by name consumers is larger than the number of useful names. If multiple parties want to use a name, only one gets it. Your hobby site is treated equally with any other commercial or social venture of any utility or economic size. Even if that size is zero. Free resources get wasted, free non-renewable are interesting to watch.

You and I can both name our daughters “Carla McIntyre”, all uses of their name will be context-sensitive.

On many sites, and for email providers, we need to be scoobydoo45478 because there were other scoobydoos that showed up first. Same is going to happen with domain names. At least a squatter won’t be able to claim copyright on the prefix.
The challenge with crypto is it is so easily manipulated/wash traded by those with large holdings. So those who are later to the game (with smaller holdings) are at a systemic disadvantage.

This seems very silly, the backend code for most websites (including sql queries, db stored procedures) are almost always proprietary too. Plus it might be running on proprietary architecture such as Windows Server, IIS, Oracle, ColdFusion, etc... So it's a very strange to focus on the JS so much. I don't see a meaningful distinction between "running locally" vs "running on the server" when everything works together to get you the result.

The css and html are proprietary too, sure they are not executing, but I don't see how that is a meaningful difference, html, css, and js all work together to tell the browser how to render the page. It's a package deal. Beyond that, websites are chock full of proprietary images, fonts, and videos.

When literally the entirety of a website is proprietary, it makes zero sense to "fix" it with making just the Javascript free (as in freedom).
Wow! I love this. Unfortunately $10/month is a bit high for me, imo. Any plans to bring this down?
Xenophobia and nationalism.
It’s a good piece, but needs a (2017) on it.
I agree, and my reply was more in reaction to the snark in the reply above. Even a lot of C++ programmers don't know that C is actually quite a different language than the "subset of C++ that kinda looks like C" and are surprised when they see "proper" C99 code for the first time. If even "experts" don't quite know the differences between "actual C" and the "C-like subset of C++", it's a bit much to ask the same of people who only have casual knowledge of "C/C++".
so we should be more willing to hold onto materialism than science?

Or are you suggesting that quantum mechanics is a bad model?

When I say 'correct', I mean correct in the eyes of the person using the word 'based'. It's worth bearing in mind here that imageboards for the most part have a wilful cultural neglect of the difference between 'my opinion' and 'objective truth' :-)
I am guessing the reason is twofold.

One, they know it is unlikely a family would pay for more than one account while living in the same house, but they might get a few extra bucks for the family upgrading to a multiple streams subscription.

Two, they probably have data that a shared account in the same house does less simultaneous streaming on average than a shared account in multiple houses.

Paul having success by writing simply does not prove that simple writing is the key to successful writing. There are tons of other factors that make writing successful, such as the popularity and name recognition of the writer. I have found that writing tips ever seem to work as well for the recipient as whoever is giving the tips.
Note that we also don't price in the gloabal warming of the planet, the medical costs of asthma, and the deaths from cancer that fossil fuels bring about. Or the ecological costs of the large land masses needed for renewables, which increase as low-hanging fruit is picked and you try to scale renewables up to a whole society.

I think proponents of nuclear welcome the cost comparisons. Nuclear stacks up really well when you start factoring in externalities.

I'd recommend looking into long term storage. The story there is a lot better than you'd think. It's kind of funny that this is even brought up at this point.

These arguments from the '60s are why we have a warmed planet.
Ok but all of those examples have real world uses. Getting diapers or dog food delivered, buying stocks for free, big mac delivery — these are all improvements on what existed before.

> Prescriptivists never seem to add that clarifying nuance to their advice though.

They often do, in my experience. AFAIK it hasn't been common to attempt any kind of real, strict prescriptivism in English since the middle of last century (yes, I'm sure a few examples exist). These days it's mostly "write like this—until you know better" or "avoid X if your audience is Y, for such-and-such reason".
I'm pretty sure the pop culture depiction of quantum physics doesn't accurately depict the real science.

Since this is paywalled we can't estimate how off the article is though.
Have you looked at https://mume.org/ ? I've been playing that one off and on since the early 1990s. It's a pretty amazing experience.

EDIT: Just logged in again, and saw this message from a couple of months ago:

The Third Age of the Sun is over: the War of the Ring was fought; the One Ring was been destroyed; the Ring-Bearers and the last of the Noldor have departed from Middle-earth.
For the eleventh time in the history of MUME, the clock starts over.

Again, it is the year 2850 of the Third Age. Gandalf has just obtained the key of Erebor from Thrain in the dungeons of Dol Guldur. The events told in "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" are ready to happen.

JS is not single threaded in the way you indicate.

JS parsers, compilers, and even some garbage collectors are threaded.

IO (arguably the most common case for threads) is threaded behind the scenes.

Web Workers allow using multiple cores/processes for typical parallel programming. Message passing exists as do shared memory and even atomics (note: node, firefox, and chromium-based browsers all have it available after Spectre/meltdown mitigations were added, but it's still disabled in Safari).

What JS really needs is a CSP or Actor model on top to abstract away threads/OS processes/cores/hardware and let the VM handle them seamlessly like in Erlang/BEAM.
I'm sorry for being negative, but paying $10 per month for what is essentially a calendar widget is blowing my mind. The fact that this is even in YC and not just a side project is taking what's left of my brain and blowing it into the stratosphere.

Gaslighting? They publish stuff like this:

Justifying the actions of cow-vigilantes who go around killing people over cows.

How about some blatant communal propaganda?

https://archive.is/DDPxZ

Some quotes:
"Are Hindus guinea pigs in a “Hindutva laboratory“ crafted by the media?"

"What does a ‘Hindutva laboratory’ where Muslims live in perpetual fear of Hindus look like? Does it look like a place where a minor Hindu girl jumps into a well to kill herself after months of gangrape by a neighbouring Muslim family? Where her father is found hanging from a tree on the day she is scheduled to give her statement in the court? Where the local police is found to have sided with the Muslim perpetrators and mistreated the Hindu victims?"

"Of the three Muslim men killed by vigilantes in most infamous cases reported from Ramgarh in 2017 and 2018, two had a prior history of cattle theft and slaughter. "

Of course these vigilantes killed those dudes, but then these dudes killed cows. So it's all good. Seriously??

Or this:
https://swarajyamag.com/politics/ground-report-what-murder-o...

Another quote:
"The almost fully Muslim-populated Nuh district is where most cattle thieves in Palwal enter from. It’s a notorious hub of cattle-smuggling besides many other organised crimes."

Of course, not all Muslims are bad. The story won't be complete without the token good-guy-minority who obeys the rules: "Mohammad Nizam, who is sitting beside Singh and belongs to a tiny population of Muslims in Sondhad, agrees. 'We eat chicken. We cannot think of touching cow meat,' says Nizam."

I also have this use case and think it's really important. When I was a kid you could take a favorite VHS or DVD with you. Now you take your subscription. Sure, I guess you could take a phyusical authorized device (e.g. an iPad) with you, then screen cast it. But that requires grandma to figure out screen casting. And I'm trusting my kid with a $300 device instead of a $15 media artifact. Lame.
"Basically all of their developers and devops engineers want kubernetes on their resumes or because it is shiny and what the cool kids are using.
"

That's what I am doing now. Knowing this stuff makes you much more employable and raises your salary. It's a stupid world but resume driven development is a rational thing to do and very encouraged by hiring practices. For a long time I thought the company would appreciate making things simple and cost efficient but when I look at the latest hires it's pretty clear that the company wouldn't even hire most of the people who keep the business running because they are "outdated". You really have to keep churning constantly or you fall off the bandwagon.

On the other hand I am pretty new to "modern" server and web development and the complexity is just insane. Getting a simple API server and frontend going with comprehensive testing, CI/CD, containers, dependency injection and whatever is a huge effort. It barely leaves you time to think about writing efficient quality code because you are so busy with pull requests, writing test code and other stuff.

This is a controversial, and in my opinion (as an archaeologist), a rather incorrect definition. It's certainly the traditional one, but most archaeologists today don't use it because of all the theoretical issues it would entail, like Europeans "bringing history" in 1492 to an entire continent when nothing about the nature of our sources changes at that time.

I've worked on both sides of the "writing line" and frankly, the process is very much the same in most cases.
I think it's for more of us who are old folks for nostalgic reasons and cinephiles who want to see what it felt/looked like back in the day. It's not meant for regular people or younger audiences who aren't into the grindhouse nostalgia.
Or physics is perfectly fine, and so is materialism.

Quantum weirdness, remember, is defined by physics. It's tested by physics. And it's perfectly compatible with materialism. The problem is in people's understanding.

Full disclosure - I'm no subscribing to finish reading the article. But what it sounds like is "if we change our philosophy to match physics, physics is easy". Quantum physics has always made sense. The only issue was that it wasn't intuitive.
For the hobbyists and the curious using 2.11 BSD, its C compiler is the end of the line for development of the Ritchie C compiler, as far as I know.
> Lawyers especially give me the impression that they use jargon to obscure their field from regular folks.

Really? You think that lawyers (and physicians) use Latin/Greek words in order to confuse regular folks?

These fields are very old, and changing the meaning of something Mens Rea or lateral malleolus is going to require A) an exact drop-in replacement which will probably just as obscure, B) retraining of an entire set of people.

Our field is similar in that we have a mountain of jargon that's largely inaccessible to regular folks. The point of those words are not to converse with regular folks but to convey information to others in the field with as little ambiguity as possible.
> - Would that literature have been considered complex at the time it was written? How much of that perceived complexity is due to changing writing styles, education standards, etc?

Great question, can't say I'm able to answer it authoritatively. I would guess most works of literature, essays and speeches, even at the time they were produced, tend to be a fair bit more complex than what the average person is used to. Especially if they come from eras with lower literacy.

> - Writing a book and writing a proposal for the next project/product have entirely different definitions of "lasting". Context matters greatly.

It certainly does.

> This sentence is a good example of the kind of unnecessary complexity described by the essay.

It's a pretty simple sentence. What's tripping you up?

> You seem to be saying that "pure ideas are not possible without language", but that's not clear in your writing.

No. I'm saying that thinking "pure ideas devoid of any language" is a naive concept to anyone who's researched that topic a minimal amount. I wasn't flexing.

> If your intent it to exclude people who do not have a "modicum of experience in the philosophy of language", I have to ask: why?

That's not my intent at all. I'm providing context to my judgment. If that was my intent, I would have said: "If you don't have experience in the philosophy of language, don't write about this topic." Good thing is — I'm not a Nazi, so I tend not to do that kind of stuff.
