Not that you asked, but the «French style» of guillemets is my favourite way to wrap a quotation out of all of them. Unicode has rather too many "quotemarks" and they all sort of run together. The German style of using them strikes me as aesthetically perverse, like the sentence is being pinched, or like a language which uses }braces like this{ !

Every time I read about one of these projects, I am at once SUPER THANKFUL for the time that this person puts in, to improve a project that I depend upon daily, but also somewhat incensed that there are thousands of large corporations that have a dependency on this stuff that they aren't giving back any support for.

I am not a Curl contributor, or related to the project, but I do donate.
NASA's budget isn't the reason they don't pay more. They're just not allowed to because of federal pay scales. People generally don't like the idea of their tax money funding cushy salaries.

If you look at the defense industry the contractors can pay way above the federal pay scales. That's why people with security clearances often just move to a contractor and they literally end up on the same project doing the same work but get paid double what they were while working directly for the government.

Wow! So Im guessing you’ve never been a single father to a girl.

News flash - children do not give consent to parents. Parents guide children in ways that they become productive and balanced citizens.

I’m a good, no, I’m a GREAT father who’s biggest fan is her.

One of the best lessons I taught her is how to avoid the feminist SJW claptrap that you’re spouting now.

Wow! I though people who spouted this nonsense were a myth.
what do you see on the frontpage? It's more than half random domains and posts by random people about a myriad of topics, news from individual sites (not corporate news centers), and github pages of tools which might as well be 'personal' sites.... and many of the new submissions to the site that get upvoted daily are like articles on this and that publishing sites, which are the same thing just more uniformly designed/less 'personal' looking. Still personal content.
So no exercise I guess?

Modern life is just so depressing, we have so little free time. Everything must be scheduled, compartmentalized, etc
That is certainly true, but there is reason why "the zeroth freedom" is "zeroth" and why GPL is worded the way it is in regards to that. Then there are licenses that completely depend on such a provision being obvious (somewhat notably the original DJB's license terms for qmail and daemontools).

Another issue is then whether such license terms are actually enforceable and not in conflict with the copyright(-related) law of given jurisdiction. For example Directive 2009/24/EC explicitly stipulates bunch of things that cannot be part of contract (ie. EULA) and if they are these parts are void, end result of this is that if you legally acquire some software the licensor cannot limit what you will use it for, not even by separate contract.

In fact Directive 2009/24/EC gives you as a user exactly the rights that GPL intends to preserve. What it does not do is make excercising these rights possible/efficient/effective, which GPL intends to do (and, well, for typical situation that motivated RMS to start GNU/FSF/GPL the difference is moot, you will end up disassembling the contents of whatever memory the thing runs from because that is the source of truth, not the source code that it was supposedly built from).

If we don't want the idea to be gradually chipped away until it's meaningless then yes, we need to draw a line in the sand and say that open source can have these restrictions but not those restrictions. And thankfully we already have that: the OSI's definition, Debian's DFSG, and the FSF's Free Software Decision are all substantially equivalent and represent a clear consensus on what is and isn't open-source; one that a lot of care and thought have already gone into.
Funny, I don't believe I was auto-logged out on March 8th.

Are you interested in being an engineering manager? If so send me an email we're hiring
If a majority of those salaries are in Florida or Houston, I'd say that's a generous salary range, plus they're eligible for a pension (of course, I still think NASA should be funded more to compete for top talent and resources)

The problem isn't that NASA tops out salary in low-cost cities barely above entry/mid-sw engineer salary levels in SV, it's that entry/junior engineer salary levels are the "minimum" amount to live comfortably + save in those high cost cities in the first place. I don't think many would mind a pay cut (and the subsequent tax cut) if their rent + cost of living was cut accordingly.

(E.G. $150k in Houston, TX is equivalent to $312k in SF: https://www.nerdwallet.com/cost-of-living-calculator/compare...)
In a way. Where freedom is made fundamental instead of deriving from an even higher fundamental principle it creates a power vacuum, and encourages those who fundamentally value something else to destroy it. Kind of like how we went from almost unilaterally valuing the sanctity of life a generation or two ago (as per the parent comment's aunt and uncle, rest in peace), to here and now, publically discussing the moralilty of destroying yourself.
Not at top companies. Only at companies hiring sub par talent.
> The thinking is that it's too important to be something we should decide individually (and that it should be for nature, or God, to decide).

It's too important for us to decide, does that logic apply in the other direction as well. Many diseases and conditions would kill people rather swiftly if not for medical intervention. Medical intervention that prolongs life seems to be making a decision that the natural or supernatural ordination of when someone should die can be changed.

First question then, do you think that medical intervention that prolongs life is acceptable?

If your answer is yes, then the idea that the end of a life is too important for individuals to make falls away. Sure one act moves the time of death earlier and one moves it later, but both acts move the time of death.

This means that the argument becomes different, that life is so important that death can only ever be moved further into the future, never closer to the present.

> There's also the aspect that suffering sometimes just happens, and we don't usually get to decide when and how it's going to happen to us.

I don't really understand this argument, suffering happens and people should not have any agency to end that suffering. By that logic I could come to your house and endlessly torture you and any attempt you made to stop me or free yourself, I could just say, "suffering sometime just happens, and we don't usually get to decide when and how it's going to happen to us."

Would that make the torture justified? Would it make you trying to end the torture somehow in the wrong? If instead of that torture taking place at your house, it takes place in a hospital and instead of me wearing a ski-mask I wear a doctor's coat, does that somehow change the situation?

I'm glad your Aunt and Uncle were able to pass with loving family and friends and die in a manner guided by their beliefs.

How do you possibly justify denying that to others? Forcing them to live out the end of their lives following your beliefs and not theirs. Forcing them to die on your terms and not their own.
I never understood the appeal of this book.
What is your argument for deciding this for other people?

It's one thing to decide I want to suffer immensely to fulfill my own concept of "honour" but quite clearly it is something else to insist that everyone else does also.

People choose to end their own lives in opposition to unavoidable suffering, so the real question is are we going to make this harder or easier for them.
Is this related to: https://a16z.com/2014/02/06/why-i-did-not-go-to-jail/ ?

The description sounds too similar to be a coincident. Not saying it's the same person, but the same pattern that's described in the article (which was apparently repeated at a bunch of different companies as a standard practice).
It’s surprising to me how many people (especially in the US) fail to realize that many South/Central American countries have significant middle- and upper-class populations.
grew up in the old web but feel like we moved away from it for more than a few reasons......it's not just because of restrictive environment changes like death of Reader or some crap....

Anyone who's blogging regularly posts their new posts on their twitter account. So you follow the people you enjoy and then get their feeds that way. It's very personal.

Also, generally we moved away from this Yahoo site directory stuff because the net got too big!If the lack of ability to find the communities is your problem, there are plenty of 'starting off points' like dev.to, even mass blogging centers like medium.... I will always defer to twitter tho as the circles of people posting etc will coalesce in no time at all if you pay attention and add to your follows regularly

And then thru those follows, and maybe this is the real direction it needs to go more -- you will find people who curate -- share other interesting content regularly etc. There used to be more sites that focused on daily links curated by ppl who kept up on things. But that of course brings us back to HN. Isn't that what most of this is here? Our collective submitting and upvoting surfaces up the best content daily!
The lack of ethics is what poisons the relationship between big tech companies and open source software and OSI was founded exactly for that, to strip the ethical principles of free/libre software and focus solely on technical and economical output. Thanks for remembering us who are OSI sponsors.

If it is like chess, the fist programs couldn't win against good players, then they couldn't win against grand masters, then they were useful as consulting tools make suggestions in games when it was allowed (look for centaur chess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_chess ), now they just win against every human.

Go has a similar story.

StarCraft is still in the centaur phase IIRC.

It's probably just a mater of time, until the writer programs are good enough. (As an intermediate step, actions movies don't look too difficult...)
Your willpower is limited, so work on your stuff first thing in the morning. This may mean going to bed earlier. I recommend making a plan the night before. Even breaking things down into small tasks.

The Pomodoro Technique is super helpful when you need to get some momentum and just plow through stuff. Also check out the book Mini Habits by Stephen Guise. It is a great technique for building momentum.

NFTs, like art are a good medium to launder money but, like art this does not mean every NFT sale is laundering money.

I went over this idea in some detail in a previous comment but NFTs are no better at laundering money than mixers like tornado.cash.

In brief you still need an on ramp and off ramp. In this case the creator would have to be involved as since the auction there haven't been any offers or a listing.
Whilst the amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s could be considered a type of protein disorder with similarities to prion diseases in that a protein is aggregating in clusters that the body is unable to clear and break down (difference being, it isn’t infectious in origin and a amyloid beta protein isn’t being changed by a misfolded protein of its own type) I don’t think there is any evidence to support your assumption that some fraction of dementia or Alzheimer’s presumptive disgnostic patients (Alzheimer’s also being largely a diagnosis enabled by autopsy, although there are scans that can show the amyloid plaques) because the diseases have quite different symptoms and courses.

Whilst that can’t fully rule out unknown prion diseases out there, generally we would expect such a condition to manifest in a much broader section of the population than just ‘the elderly’ and when young people develop significant neurological symptoms there’s a huge amount of diagnostic effort that is put in to determining what is going on, because, you know, it might be a prion disease and generally it shouldn’t happen unless there is a genetic determinant or another cause, such as smoking adulterated drugs which was found to cause Parkinson’s in the 80’s [0], or in fact vCJD

[0] https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00000360.htm
In terms of chronic exposure of the majority of the population to herbicides, New Brunswick is fairly unique. Why do you think that it is not a plausible hypothesis for "an unknown neurological disease"? If this is a new prion disease from game animals, why has it not shown up in Maine, Québec, or Vermont?
So imagine you're writing along in high-level language, that doesn't have a built-in assembler. But it does have the ability to store data in memory, and the ability to jump to a location namely the beginning of that data.

That is basically the native environment on many 6502 computers. You have basic, and usually you can call, or something to run a little machine language.

What you don't generally have is an assembler, unless you're on a BBC micro or something really spiffy like that.

You can open the spreadsheet, take me to origin, Constance a few instructions, and there are the bikes you need right there. It might be an 10 bytes or 20 bytes.

So you just typed them right in set up your call statement and carry on.

On these older or smaller computers, people do these kinds of things to get a little bit of speed, but they don't have a huge tool chain, or don't want to complicate call chain get that speed. Really they just want to tell the CPU to do a few things to be done with it.

Another case might be patching a piece of code.

So you reach a point where you need to code up a jump instruction, and then assemble the few instructions you need to make whatever changes going to make, and it returned so that the program may continue.

Open the spreadsheet type in the few things you need copy the bites done

It isn't "science fiction" though, we have a mountain of examples that demonstrate how probabilistic AI fails when the training dataset doesn't perfectly align with the eventual application.

Look up the Four Freedoms, or the Debian Free Software Guidelines. There's a whole lot of underlying philosophy to what the GPL aims to accomplish.

Art has always been a money laundering vehicle.
There are better ways to launder money than on a public blockchain.

The difficult part of laundering money on a blockchain is the on ramp/off ramp. Laundering is the easy part and doesn't need NFTs.
Not just Stallman, but OSI was founded with an ideological goal too. It's goal is to strip ethics from software development and focus solely on technical and economical output for companies while Stallman and FSF had focused exactly on the ethics of software development.

You don't have to forward traffic onto HTTP - ELBs & ALBs will happily forward traffic to HTTPS endpoints. That gives you an encrypted backend, but still allows you to manage the certificates & TLS policies in one spot. The backend servers can happily run on self-signed certs and the load balancer won't care.
Interesting. I didn't realize there was such a lack of a toolchain on these 6502s. Makes sense. Cheers.

Since I've had a handful of users ask about cloud storage for Snebu, Would you be interested in adding Snebu as a supported protocol? It should be similar to how you currently support Borg. For Snebu, the client runs find and tar, sending results via ssh to the snebu binary on the remote host. And more recently client-side public key encryption support has been added via a client-side filter called "tarcrypt". Ideally, a customer would use Snebu to back up to a local device on their network (for example a Raspberry Pi with a large USB drive attached), and then use Snebu's efficient replication to send deltas to the cloud-hosted server. Client files are stored individually (deduplicated) on the Snebu server, and metadata is in an SQLite DB (advantages over Borg is more open standards for the data storage and public-key encryption, disadvantage is file-level instead of block-level deduplication and a project that isn't as widely used).

If you are interested, I would be more then happy to have an extended discussion with you going over implementation options, and updating the client side script to make it work better with your service. (https://www.snebu.com, https://github.com/derekp7/snebu, and the tarcrypt extensions to tar are described at https://www.snebu.com/tarcrypt.html).
