> Sounds like they were just bogged down and crippled in a corporate way

They were tripped up by their own success as the 800 lb gorilla of dumb phones that sold in the hundreds of millions.

Nokia had a seperate department for “renewing the company through innovation”. It was an internal incubator which reported directly to the CEO. It could scout for tech, and develop prototype product products.

The problems started at the point where a new product was ready to leave the incubator. It had to be “sold” to an existing business unit in a suitable division.

The hurdle was that pre-2007 Nokia divisions were raking in billions selling mature tech in enormous volumes through existing channels.

There was no room and few candidates to champion anything new which required nurturing, development, ancillory technology and marketplaces, or, heaven forbid, new business models, starting from a revenue base of $0.00.

> Git's terminology descends from BitKeeper, which was explicitly using master/slave

That GNOME mailing list post was retracted the next year[0].

I wrote a summary of the history[1] for Git Rev News, the git developers newsletter. In short, the usage didn't come from BitKeeper, and was intended to mean 'master copy'.

After the article was published, Aaron Kushner from BitKeeper reached out and gave me some more history on the usage of 'slave repository' in that one particular spot in BitKeeper[2]: it was a presentation for a client that was already using master/slave terminology and so the same terms were used in the presentation.

I think you are not who you claim to be. If you are, you should know better.

I never said I got root at Linode, but I did have root at Linode.

FWIW I dumped all the MIT, nmap and Sucuri data in HTP5 and popped the shells on swiftircd boxes (who IIRC ended up being the first ones to alert linode to our presence). It’s not any kind of an achievement, but hard to claim I wasn’t deeply involved.

As far as I know none of the stuff about informants in the Linode section was true. I don’t think anyone got hacked and had their handler standing behind them, at least I never heard more of that story. Ryan King and Rory Guidry continued their involvement with HTP long after the Linode stuff.

Did informants kill hacker groups? I don’t think so. FBI infiltration of hacker groups predates the death of hacker groups by well over a decade, it never stopped anyone.

Why would a book payment processor use Bitcoin when the average Bitcoin transaction fee is about the same price as many new books? With Bitcoin, you're looking at spending about $50 if you buy a $25 book.
Someone "finds" an inane pattern.

They tell everyone else.

The trick is that by being told and because the human mind likes to make associations suddenly some of the listeners see it too.

And then we find ourselves in this odd state of affairs.

Nice to see sqlite3 as the file format of choice. It is known to be quite a bit faster than the file system for large number of small files .. though I'm not sure Audacity's case aligns with that. The file system is expected to be slightly faster for larger blobs, but sqlite3 can be like 10x faster than the file system in windows10 for blobs in the 100s of kB range.

Overall, it looks like it might be a great performance boost when working with highly edited fragments and at worst a slight performance degradation for large unedited tracks.

>Does Apple does not charge for Teaching to a group of students anymore?

This wasn't enforced or known until fairly recently [1] and finally got its public attention during pandemic. Those bad PR was what caused Apple to make concessions. Basically since 2018 Apple has been steadily Pushing these changes for their Services Strategy revenue target. If you look around on the Internet or places like MacRumours, you find a group of "Apple Apologist" who are perfectly in flavour of Apple charging 30% for these educational digital class.

>but not when teaching to one person interested in guitar for example?

Teaching one to one are exempt from sign up link. Which is basically a FaceTime Call. But that is only on the basis if the teaching is "live". If you are showing large quantity pre-recorded Video you might / will be counted towards "Digital Goods".

But again Apple Apologist thinks it is Apple's platform. They can do whatever they want.

Edit: I wanted to add some additional context. A lot of these were rules not previously enforced before 2016 / 2018. So App Store has been perfectly fine for many conducting online / digital business. And the App Store problem isn't just about the 30% commission.

The truth is complete opposite. Fiat currencies have created insane amount of wealth inequality, because they benefit those who have the power to borrow cash and own assets. With bitcoin, people can maintain their purchasing power and wealth. Bitcoin isn't pegged to CPI which means that it increases in value when economic productivity increases. CPI pegged currencies move purchasing power from labor to capital.

> He's not the governor, and I don't know anyone here (in Texas, not HN) that cares what he says.

Rick Perry is the former governor of Texas, who was succeeded by the current governor. The seeds of this disaster were (intentionally) sown under his tenure. What he says is pertinent, IMO, since he had a hand in shaping the energy ecosystem in Texas and is likely to capture the Texan energy business/political zeitgeist.

It won't melt on human timescales either. Total mass of Greenland ice = 4e15 tonnes. Upper end of predicted melt rate this century = 4e13 tonnes/century. So it could lose up to 1% of its mass this century or at the same rate, take 10,000 years to completely melt.

> Lemire is saying: "look, if the M1 full multiplication was slow, we'd expect wyrng to be worse than splitmix, but it isn't".

But that doesn't follow either. Only by inspecting the machine code do we get to see what's really going on in a loop, and the ultimate result is dependent on a lot of factors: if the compiler unrolled the loop (here: no), whether there were any spills in the loop (here: no), what the length of the longest dependency chain in the loop is, how many micro-ops for the loop, how many execution ports there are in the processor, and what type, the frontend decode bandwidth (M1: seems up to 5 ins/cycle), whether there is a loop stream buffer (M1: seems no, but most intel processors, yes), the latency of L1 cache, how many loads/stores can be in-flight, etc, etc. These are the things you gotta look at to know the real answer.
I just downloaded and tested the standalone desktop app. It has a very pretty and responsive interface compared to Kanboard.

I have been self hosting Kanboard on my rpi for my own work, and I think that Kanboard still has many 'poweruser' features that Focalboard is missing.

If there is an easy way for me to migrate my Kanboard data over to Focalboard, I would definitely give it a shot as a daily driver.

> For context, I'm Finnish and many of my ancestors were sold as slaves as well.

Just wanted to point out there's a huge difference here. Black communities in America very much live with the legacy, and remanifestation (I recommend reading The Color of Law), of slavery in their everyday lives. At one point in US history, nearly 10% of american identified as KKK members. Do you think all of them suddenly disappeared.

There's also huge legacies in our academia. Just a couple decades ago sociology was essentially the study of eugenics in our own country while anthropology was the study of eugenics in other countries. Even commonly used terms in statistics (e.g. regression to the mean) root from the study of eugenics. There's been much scholarship dedicated to clearly tracing these roots and a constant theme of antiblackness

PBS has a great history documentary called "American Experience: The Eugenics Crusade" that I'd highly recommend if you wanna start to dig at the heels of how deeply rooted this is in our culture
> With Apple holding a lot of cash offshore awaiting for a favourable way to onshore it

I don't think that's relevant anymore. My understanding is that the 2017 TCJA required prior unrepatriated earnings to be recognized and taxed over eight years (so still ongoing) and future foreign earnings not subject to US tax (except if the foreign tax is below the corporate alternative minimum tax rate). As a result of those changes, there's no need to hold cash offshore.

The article lacked an example of the "Maxim of Relation", so here's one:

Alice: "Where can I buy some tire chains around here?"

Bob: "There's a gas station down the block."

If Bob knows that the gas station down the block does not in fact sell tire chains, he has not technically lied. However, he has violated the Maxim of Relation by providing information irrelevant to Alice's question, leading to a misunderstanding if Alice assumes it is relevant, implying that the station does sell tire chains.

“Most journals prefer word” well it depends of the field... In mine, computational math, it’s 100% latex. Of course it’s a math heavy field.
Every time I see data with a sequential color scheme, I hate it. It's useless. I spend time trying to figure out if the area I'm looking at is is 8% or 10% or 12% or whatever. This is especially true for what the article calls "sequential classed color scales." If you use this scale, you MUST provide another chart, or another way to get accurate information. At worst, you let me mouse over the area and you show me the data.

I'm sure someone who works with this on a daily basis is going to come in here with why I am wrong. No. I promise you, there are many more people like me who absolutely hate this way of visualizing data. It's frustrating, and every time I see it, I hate it, and I'm more dismissive about the data. Maybe that's irrational, but I'm not the one trying to effectively communicate with people using satan's color scheme.
>I would posit that most people writing LaTeX aren't writing up papers in it either

From what I can understand, if you host Focalboard on your server and update some configurations and templates to suit your needs, you are not required to open source these updates (which you would otherwise have to under AGPL) since those specific files are Apache 2.0 licensed.

Indeed. My point is that "cancel culture" is a problem on Twitter, since Twitter intentionally amplifies the voices of the people who participate. So, "cancel culture" on Twitter is not representative of how real people on "the left" (or "the right") feel about current events.

For instance the vast majority of working professionals I know don't get themselves regularly involved in political arguments on Twitter, since they see it as unproductive.

So it is simultaneously true that:

* cancel culture is "a thing" on Twitter, in the sense that it's easy to find examples

* cancel culture "doesn't exist", in the sense that no one you are likely to encounter in real life is ok with cancelling people for tweets they made as a teenager

You just gotta get enough in tune emotionally to know what they’re gonna want to know and how to tell them. That’s a fun new exploration all for you.

From what I remember this was because they'd spent so much time and effort building up the maemo (or meeGo or whatever) and burned up so much goodwill with the switch to Qt. When the burning platform memo came out they'd literally just burned another platform, regardless of technical merit the timing for moving to Qt couldn't have been worse.
