The goal of the FSF is "to promote computer user freedom". By "freedom" they mean the four freedoms of the Free Software definition:

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

Your proposal contradicts freedom 0, so the FSF cannot support it without abandoning their mission. To do so is both undesirable and unnecessary, because the alleged "exploitation of software developers" is in most cases just people doing what those developers permitted when they chose to use a permissive license. The correct solution is encouraging developers to choose more suitable Free Software licenses, and the FSF already does this by advocating copyleft licenses in most circumstances. The AGPL especially has strong protections for the four freedoms, which makes it very difficult to "exploit" developers who use it.
There has been plenty said about the topic. Have you read Clean Code? The Wikipedia page? The Pragmatic Programmer? The depth on the subject has been expanded far more than just “single responsibility”.

Here is Bob responding to OPs link: http://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2020/10/18/Solid-Releva...

Stating:

“SRP) The Single Responsibility Principle.

Gather together the things that change for the same reasons. Separate things that change for different reasons.”

That’s a pretty clear delineation IMO.
Israel data doesn’t make this look to be the case. I don’t see any evidence this is the case.
LEDs still use electricity. Are you in charge of setting the limit on how much use is acceptable?
Well, Open Source is a superset of Free Software. So it gets all the credit for what is actually Free Software.

Now as per my original point. This has been going on a long time, and as with language the definitions can change over time.

Early on they were different. Open Source basically implying "hey you can read the Source!" but not necessarily giving you any other freedoms to actually USE it.

But today, people are saying Open Source and Free Software are much the same thing.

I am all for them being the same thing. IE I am happy with Open Source in all practical ways having the same freedoms as Free Software.

But now we gotta call out those projects which define themselves as "Open Source" for marketing use of the goodwill around nice modern definition while operating under the old definition.

Edit: for clarification
A royalty system is almost in direct opposition to what the FSF has accomplished. In fact, the entire body of work that the FSF has done has been to ensure that users of software have the same rights as developers of that software. As far as execs with jets, starving developers, etc... well, the music industry and book industry have royalties and last I looked, the execs did better than most practicing musicians and authors.
I do not. Being unusual does not free you from the burdens of being a decent person, especially while in a public leadership position, especially when your violations are a repeated trend over a very long period.

With the right diagnostic criteria just about everybody who is an asshole could be diagnosed with some mental disorder or another and that is more or less the present state of psychology, that kind of reasoning is asking for a consequence free society.

The kind of person RMS has shown himself to be, regardless of diagnosis, disqualifies him from being a public figure and leader.
The founders and employees had a lot of meetings with A16Z during the life of the company. They were active on YC communication channels as well
A lot of people know about a lot of things before the "public" knows. That doesn't make it "insider trading".

It is a very specific legal term that deals with the internal information of public corporations - eg: their quarterly sales revenues.

It doesn't make sense out of that context.

Also, there were TONS of people talking about the outbreak in China when those Congresspeople sold shares. I sold at the same time. The information was out there - it's just that the Western MSM wasn't covering it.
That sounds insanely wasteful. The new ones get created with the exact same mission as the old ones?
It's used, bizarrely enough, to communicate between the Windows and Linux sides of Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 - if I remember correctly, it's used to expose NTFS to the Linux side.
I just want to chime in to say, either defend Stallman or don’t. Don’t do this silly moral panic “I worry about society” thing. Address the issues, don’t make gross generalisations.
To me, the only thing implied by the above comment is that "all autistic people are capable of being decent to other people." That doesn't seem offensive, although it may be incorrect (I simply do not know).
It’s pretty bizarre; there’s a definite feeling of artificial balance. Maybe it makes their videos more palatable to Tesla fans.
> That’s what NFT is.

Yeah, but who gives a shit whether it's centralized or not?

If some intrepid reporter figured out that NFT has a backdoor that means it is being controlled as a-- god forbid-- centralized service, what bad thing happens to the dipshit who paid a million dollars for Rick and Morty digital art?
Because there's nothing I love more than fiddling with obtuse settings menus just to have to do it again in couple of hours. This would maybe be acceptable if there was a charm/quick toggle like they do with Do Not Disturb, but I'd rather print it or write it than change the settings and then remember to change them back later.
> I stopped caring if my students cheat a long time ago. It's not worth the hassle and it does lower my completion rate which is the only thing administration cares about. Cheating increases the passing rate so I'm all in favor of it.

...leaving the honest students as the only ones whose grades suffer from such a scheme, whether it is from their assignments seeming subjectively subpar as compared to their cheating colleagues, or when the class average (and grades) are disproportionately skewed. In the latter case, when grades are assigned based on a bell curve rather than by a fixed percentage mark, an honest A performance can easily turn into a B+ or lower.

China is even more of an oligarchy than the US in my opinion.
There are vast amounts of data that you have to disclose to FDA that you are permitted to mark as not for public disclosure. If you ever FOIA records from FDA they are heavily redacted.
If $/perf on multithreaded workloads is your metric then it did beat Intel from what I remember.

I believe it took until Zen 2 for the AMD high end to beat the Intel high end in multithreaded perf, and until Zen 3 for AMD to take the single threaded perf crown across the board too.

>FSF should start lobbying for royalty system for developers, so that big corporations using free software should have to pay % of revenue to all contributors of open source software they are using.

Nobody's forcing them to license out their software for free. The reason why they do so is simple: they know they won't be able to make a buck off of it if it was commercial (even with the individuals/small company exemption you mentioned), and that stringent terms will only harm adoption of their project. See for instance companies unwilling to touch GPL licensed software, for instance.

From the corporation/executive's view, why would they bother adopting a piece of software that has a royalty system, especially when there are alternatives? For instance, other projects that are permissively licensed, writing it themselves, or paying for a proprietary/commercial version.

No, he didn't. He defended a dead person from accusations of pedophilia and had quotes from it taken tremendously out of context.

You seem to assume that very little energy will be spent to acquire coins for staking. If there is real interest in ether and stiff competition to stake (and there better be for proof of stake to work), I'm afraid that won't be the case.
Exactly - and in the USA I just need a “zip code = estimate” so I know if I’m looking at $10 or $50.
It's not at all clear to me that someone deriving benefit from freely given work constitutes exploitation.

The creator is free to create what they want, the user is free to support them, or not. What you are not free to do is appropriate the "creation" itself.
I shouldn't be amazed but I am at the sheer level of transparency. It is one thing to know this in theory, but quite another to see it displayed in practice. Love it. thank you for sharing.
my guess? they all need better online/ app presence and they are realizing that their photo-realistic logos look like trash on the web
I had one like this with a stored procedures. I don’t recall what the exact issues was, but one of the solutions involved declaring a few variables and then copying the procedure parameters into those instead of passing them directly into a query.
Apple: Oh no! Anyway.
it's also just harder to rebuild and renew any downtown infrastructure, wherever located.

in the UK, town centre development has been hindered particularly by the effects of having caused a diverse small business and retail environment to grow around central developments, whose owners have fiercely opposed any disruption that could be created by heavy works, regardless of the importance to their ultimate survival.

consider where the central mall provides the only large scale car parking availability for the surrounding areas, like in my home town and the situation in Windsor afaict whenever I visit, which has a large town centre retail district without any suitable parking for the sprawl of retailers outward from the centre complexes.

edit splitting to avoid confusion after accidentally posting early :

concluding without the argument I originally intended, I suspect that the data is so poorly collected and used that we could very likely find many new ways to revitalise our town centers getting plenty of sensible fresh investment to pursue models we've been simply overlooking
When I was involved in rebuilding the Yahoo! Homepage back in the day we had loads of widgets (Mail, Facebook, TV Guide etc etc.) and we were told to remove them because people were staying on the homepage and using them rather than being a funnel to go to other Y! products.

The Facebook widget I wrote was better than being on Facebook and it still fills me with irritation to this day they shitcanned it :-)
Some basic word counting on text files in bash, I was tokenizing to one token per line and then counting:

tr -cs '[:alnum:]' '[\n*]' | sort | uniq -c

The sort takes a long time (probably just n log n I guess) on a big text. Swapping for

awk '{k[$0]++} END {for (token in k) print token, k[token];}'

and then sorting on the numbers does the same thing faster.

This is the third rail of Covid discussions. But you are correct. The area under the curve was exactly the same in all the "flatten the curve" vs zero mitigation models. The rationale behind flattening the curve was never to decrease the absolute number of infections.

But somewhere along the way, the goalposts were implicitly switched from "flatten the curve" to "wait for the vaccine"
If I ask an undergraduate to implement a simple parallel merge sort using fork-join I know they cannot get it wrong - because they cannot receive results in an order they were not expecting. They cannot possibly introduce a race condition under any circumstances. If they try to implement it using Erlang-style actors and message passing, they can get it wrong and expect the half they sub-sorted first to respond with the result first. I know this because I've seen it in undergraduates for real. Worst of all - it can work every time they test it but then fail in production, so it's extremely hard to explain and teach them to do it correctly.
They also don't use semantic elements at all, just a bunch of divs and spans everywhere.
There is absolutely zero evidence Stallman has autism, none whatsoever, and absolutely no evidence that he has any neurological disability. The fact that he once described himself as “borderline autistic” isn’t evidence of anything (except perhaps that Stallman is a jerk who doesn’t care about people who actually have autism).

As someone who actually has schizophrenia and struggles with it in the workplace and in society: it honestly makes me sick to see people defend Stallman’s reprehensible behavior with some bullshit about “neurodiversity.”

You are throwing an entire population of people under the bus because you’re too immature to accept that RMS is a bad person. It’s pathetic.
Bankers can get away with stealing $200M outright, while FLoyd was tortured to death for $20
Stallman is a bastion of software freedom in a world turning progressively dark. The fact that he never ever compromised his ideals and principles, never sold out and has been repeatedly proven prescient and absolutely on the money on countless issues, makes him someone that we should strive to protect.

There are many invididuals in the Free Software world that backstabbed RMS and tried to destroy him with malicious character attacks. Here is one example:

Has Andy Wingo apologized?
This should be the top comment. I really wish this was addressed somewhere.

But with all the charts we see of case, hospitalization, and death counts, why isn’t someone charting data for case, hospitalization, and death counts following vaccinations?

You might see some study with possibly some data buried in it, but this should be part of the rest of the data being broadly shared so that it’s clear the effects it’s having.
> Even one week at home for my kid is damaging let alone a year.

What do you do during school vacations, and summer?
I don't think RMS has ever intentionally been an asshole. The event that got him kicked out was him trying to clarify that someone he worked with may not of known all the details of the situation and that people shouldn't witch hunt this person who was not around to defend themself.

Sure it was a very risky and emotionally charged email thread but RMS still very much seems like a decent person.
That’s a hard question. Zac and Jessica fired people often and required things be done their way, which a was usually wrong or substandard. The result was that your poop was actually sequenced, but the results weren’t trustable
That’s such a ridiculous viewpoint. Someone should be disqualified from being a “public figure” for making bad off-the-cuff remarks?

There goes half of Congress, half of Hollywood, many historic figures, and a fair share of executives. How can someone be “disqualified” from being a “public figure” anyway!???!
show me where i said that.

autistic people are not uniquely malevolent, and it is not offensive to suggest autistic people are not uniquely malevolent.

the premise at the root of the thread was that autistic people can't tell bad ideas from good ideas, and should thus go forever uncriticized. both in that it's wrong, and in that it casts autistic people as corruptible and dangerous, when we know very well most "normal" allistic people are perfectly capable of great evils.

advocating that it should be acceptable for autistic people to cause harm is not helpful. it promotes the stereotype that autistic people are harmful, resulting in further social rejection and discrimination, and allows abusive people to hide behind the label.
It is incorrect. Autism is a spectrum.
At my university in the U.K. evaluation was almost entirely done with exams at the end of the year. For undergrad, the exams had questions from all the courses so one could choose whichever questions one wanted to answer (this meant each course only turned up in the exams for one year. Also I did a subject which didn’t require anything like labs).

It meant homework was an opportunity for difficult questions to be used for teaching rather than a test for knowledge—the only thing preventing one from skipping homework was the shame one would experience turning up to go through the solutions and discussion without having made attempts. One could also choose how collaborative to be with the problems and discuss them with peers. The downside was that there was a lot of pressure on exams and if you were ill on exam week you’d be SOL (also no resits because why not). And some people just don’t perform to their true ability under exam conditions (though to be fair the university selected for it with entrance exams.)
In what way is RMS a bad person? He has always seemed pretty honest and well intentioned. Its just he doesn't know when to shut his mouth or which hills are worth dying on.
I don't like NFTs but your comment triggered a counter argument in my head.

People buy and collect all kinds of worthless tuff. I know several people that spent between $3k and $10k on Magic the Gathering cards. From a non-player's perspective it's ridiculous. The cards are worthless and you could just print out images of the cards on a printer or copy machine if all you cared about was playing the game itself.

And yet people do it.

Is a NFT really any different? Is it wrong for people to spend their money on whatever they want?
Speaking of breathing: my liver is pushing against my diaphragm and causing my lower right lung lobe to not inflate properly. Could this be an anatomical thing or an enlarged liver? CT scan with contrast said my liver was unremarkable. Am I not inhaling deep enough to push my liver where it belongs?
You make the developers sound like helpless individuals unable to adopt a software licence that gives them what they want, and that need people to save them from ruin.

They obviously want everyone and anyone to use their software and don't care who makes money from it, if its licenced that way. They can licence it so it excludes large corporations, or even demand recompense under certain situations, such as company size.

Your attitude just sounds like you object to large corporations (and their executives) making money from free software. If it's not your software it's really none of your business.
Ribbonfarm called this a couple years ago:

https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2018/03/06/a-quick-battle-field-g...

Specifically battlefront #8. He calls it consequential because the the neurodivergent/PC conflict highlights an inherent paradox in the PC worldview. Most applications of political correctness focus (at least on the surface) on defending a marginalized group against the verbal attacks of a privileged one. When applied to autistic or neurodivergent individuals, however, PC norms work to disadvantage an already disadvantaged minority against groups that are both larger and often more economically and culturally free.
When taken out of context it looks bad, but when it's part of a broader discussion about morality and law not always matching up, it makes sense. Age of consent laws vary around the world, and it doesn't make sense why someone could legally have consensual sex with someone in one country, but if they had sex in a place with different age of consent laws, they'd be branded a pedophile.
Considering the whole point was somewhat shortsighted pain to China (in that long term this forces China to build a world class chip foundry now), it makes perfect sense. Huawei (and by extension China) is not going to be able to produce as many chips as competitively as others.
Clearly not all neurotypical people are capable of being decent to others, so how would it make sense that all autistic people are?

No, to assume that forgiveness or empathy to one autistic individual denigrates an entire spectrum of autistic individuals is the same as assuming that from the actions of one we can confer some sort of collective responsibility. This assumption is the root of all prejudice.
Same sex siblings close in age have been doing this since forever.

One sibling takes the same class twice, once for themselves, one for the other.
Andrew Yang made a related point about the $1k/month Freedom Dividend (UBI). if you're in prison, you don't get it. more incentive to stay out and easier given the guaranteed income of at least $1k/mo.
I mean the specifics aside if you fine them at least add two zeroes to that number because I'm pretty sure two million bucks is less than they saved on the chargers
This is not something I would say, or something I would ever recommend someone say, but it is 100% the type of open questioning an autism-spectrum person would ask when they don't understand the emotional weight or implications behind asking such a question.
Thats a serious misrepresentation of his words. He once had a page on his site saying that he did not think it was harmful if voluntary (eg, consent between people of similar ages but one being over age)

He has since removed the post and stated that its more complex than he initially thought.
>came up with by dorking with a 3D printer and some old parts from a vacuum...

I get the point : it's a scary proposition to have 'hacked' solutions to life-and-death medical struggles that have not yet had the time to be properly vetted for errors or bugs..

BUT

1) Most invention came about the same way, with a rough idea of the goal while attempting to use off-the-shelf/available techniques to attain it.

2) The COVID-19 pandemic was out-of-the-ordinary. If truly worst had come to the worst and there was a total break-down of society and medical care, things like 3d printers and old vacuum parts could have been appropriately re-engineered into appropriate medical care devices by those with the professional know-how to do so.

In other words : even if a "3d printed ventilator", for the sake of argument, is a somewhat hazardous idea in the hands of non-professionals, in the event of cataclysmic world-collapse i'd rather there be , even if simple and preliminary, a mediocre set of tools available for professionals to continue their work where possible.

In my opinion the benefit of these designs being available outweighs the disadvantage that Joe-Bob down the road may try to practice self-tracheostomy procedures.

>It was telling when you didn't see established ventilator makers coming up with their own ad hoc cheap-o designs...

the only thing that tells me is that the profit margins weren't 'right enough' to interest large corporate backers into helping -- especially during a time of economic recess and beginning of thrift strategies from the worlds' corporations in expectation of economic problems down the line until the pandemic is over.

The British NHS pay Mercedes F1 for 10,000 units of some whizz-bang CPAP machine during the pandemic.[0] CPAP machines certainly aren't ventilators, but Mercedes F1 certainly isn't an established ventilator maker, either.

> disqualifies him from being a public figure and leader

A lot of people can't do their jobs if they can't be leaders, depending on how you define it. I think that jobs that don't involve interacting with other people are being automated faster on average than jobs that do. So I think it's better not to be quick to disqualify someone from it.
Never heard of executions?!!?!??!^#^#!#$ LOL
That paper is obviously data mined and using extremely sketchy statistical methodology. They’re fitting 100+ parameter model on a dataset of a few dozen countries.
