It's pretty incredible that after years and years of searching, all what cancel-activists[0] could find against Stallman was:

- Stallman reminding folks of the lack of key evidence in the allegations against Minsky.

- A graffiti on his door at MIT

- The fact he had a mattress in his office

- Some awkward social interactions he allegedly had (it's all anonymous, there's no way to know)

All from a blog-post.

I have to take issue with the notion that doing a thing out of passion will not burn you out: it is possible to overdo a thing - out of passion - to the extent it does burn you out.

Speaking from personal experience....

Recovery is easier/faster than in the non-passion case, but it still happens.

As to being dispassionate, when I take such an approach, even to the passionate thing, I have greater endurance and tolerance for moments of frustration.

Seems to me that protects from overdoing it too.
Yes but the most influential ones like movies and music doesn't seem to go that route sadly. With Disney+ children everywhere will grow up even more American.
You're saying that minimum wage is somehow providing a ceiling? This is nonsense. It's a distortion in that if Starbucks was allowed to, Starbucks would pay less, not more. If they had to pay more to attract employees, they would pay more -- nothing's stopping them from doing that today. The fact that they're paying minimum wage means that the clearing price for Starbucks labor is at or below the floor already!
What if there are hundreds of those?
"Grammatical gender does not refer to biological sex"

I'm quite aware of that, especially after an unfortunate encounter that never happened with a table. She claimed to be French but it turned out to be German.

That all sounds a bit crap in English. I don't really know how "gender" for nouns feels or works in languages that emphasise it. We do ascribe gender to some nouns in English, such as boats/ships: "she".

Why on earth is petra feminine? I've been to Petra (capital P) and it is an incredible place.
Most people are motivated by other things besides extending their own lives. What they do with that life is more important than how long it lasts, and rightly so.

I'm not sure why you think that it is implied.

I'm pretty sure the MBP line won't actually "max out at 16GB"; they just haven't released the higher-specced MBP configurations yet. Think of it as a "some configurations are experiencing shipping delays" but where those "shipping delays" are ~1yr.

I don’t disagree with you, especially if you are trying to follow the same curriculum as the schools and expect the kids to grok everything during the “correct” school year.

We are finding that concepts that the kids are ready for come super easily — Like, there’s nothing special that an educator is going to provide — And concepts that the kids aren’t ready for can still be taught but it’s takes much more time and effort. I think this is one of the reasons why school (and teaching) can seem difficult and overwhelming. We expect all ten-year-olds to be at the same level and for a single teacher to get these kids to all learn the same stuff at the same time. It’s Sisyphean!

If you decide to go-all-in with homeschooling you can tailor your child’s education to each child and go with the flow. The difficulty is if you want to be able to go back to regular school because they are going to all over the map, they might be 4 grades ahead in math and 4 grades behind in history.

You also get to choose what you want your children to learn. It’s a double-edged sword. My kids are getting a very science-heavy and pragmatic education while some bible-banger down the street might be teaching frickin’ creationism. For society, I don’t have a good solution to this problem. But as a parent I’m excited that I can ditch the memorization bullshit and focus on providing my children an educational and intellectual framework that will keep them growing intellectually for the rest of their lives, if they so choose.

The gist of my approach is: Know what subjects exist and what problems they can solve and know how to teach yourself those subjects when they are needed. That’s basically it. Teaching is helping them find ways to help themselves and talking through philosophical problems with them.
AOSP ports (like lineage) provide a better experience. Yes, compatibility is an issue, but with raw Linux we end up reimplementing everything anyway. So why not start from a solid base that works and fork if one feels it's useful, rather then having to create a Camera app all over again?

As long as there are people willing to subject themselves to that, then Starbucks will continue to employ them. But each minute of commute you add removes more people from the pool of potential employees. The more skill the job requires, the smaller that pool will necessarily be. At some point a business will find itself unable to hire for any amount of money they can offer, and they will either go out of business or move out of the city. Then the companies that don’t need much skilled labor, such as Starbucks, will either close down most of their locations, or open them elsewhere. The result will be less demand in the city center, and more elsewhere.

You could accelerate this by making employers pay for time spent commuting to and from work, but that will not be a panacea; it will eliminate some jobs that people rely on. The person in your example might end up completely unemployed, and given the choice they might prefer to commute for four hours per day than to be completely unemployed.
That would mean idling your ships, and not in the expectation of picking up a lucrative cargo, either - and there is no guarantee that you will be the direct beneficiary of your benificent action. It's a variation of the 'tragedy of the commons', where the individual incentives are not aligned with the optimal outcome.

In fact, it is very like the incentives to send out your fishing fleet to scoop up another catch before all the fish are gone.
The march through the institutions is complete. EFF, The Register, FSFE all publish the same boilerplate.

> Are ships leaving north america without picking up containers and if so why?

One reason is given in the article: it’s more profitable not to wait to load up the empty containers and instead to go back and quickly ship another full load out of China

I guess eventually the prices have to catch up

Edit: I misread this is not clearly stated but I think still somewhat implied since they are not waiting for cargo to ship back they probably aren’t waiting for empty containers either

Your comment in the best example i for how people are so busy drinking the cool aid they dont even know how things were done 50 years ago.

We had grain elevators and other stockpiles of essentials. A country would save grain from summer to feed it through winter, and have months spare. This does not result in some imaginary 'wastefull living'.

Obviously you don't stockpile coffee and selfie sticks
> To me this list of people and organizations are not some silly knights of "woke activism", they are people who'd feel misrepresented by RMS due to his beliefs. I'd not be so dismissive to that. We try to make software a more inclusive place.

Several of these organizations engage in woke political D&I activism, e.g. Mozilla and GNOME.

The woke sense of tolerance is to be intolerant to violations of its fundamentalist norms, while most expect tolerance to be a two-way street. Serious accusations put into political activist wording, like in this petition, is a commonly used woke tool to remove viewpoint opponents from positions of influence. How are we supposed to judge what part of their reasoning stems from political activism, and what stems from evidence of malfeasance?

> I just want to know if he can come around to his beliefs, or if he sticks to them. He came around with beliefs concerning the "age of sexual consent" and how that should not matter. I find people's ability to come around when presented with evidence a good thing.

On top of the accusation of "misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety", this is another serious accusation.

An old political trick often used by the woke is to reduce the opponents moral standing by having them answer an accusation of bad things, true or not. "Sir, how do you respond to those that accuse you of pedophilia?". Even if one answered "Absolutely not; I just argued that a 19 year old is not a pedophile for engaging with one two years younger", the association sticks in peoples minds. How can you retain your moral standing by answering such a question?

I definitely want an open-source phone for all the reasons you mentioned, but I absolutely also want a Linux phone.

I'd love to live in a world where BSD or Minix became The Thing™, but since it didn't I basically live and breath Linux for work and that spills over into my personal usage too. Interoperability between my phone and my laptop is huge. I recently started using KDE Connect (and okay - that doesn't have to be Linux-specific) and being able to seamlessly copy / paste between devices, etc. is a game changer for me.
Ask HN: Is OpenAPI Documentation Superior?

I agree with point 2 and 3 you are making. As another commenter already pointed out real estate prices going up is not a net gain for the economy. Moreover, the direction of the price movement will (also) be decided by the state of the local economy which inturn drives the demand. Real estate prices in Houston, for example, may plummet because a major driver of the Houston economy is the oil and gas industry. Some companies and businesses may successfully transition to the low carbon economy, but it is unclear at this point how most may be affected.
> Don't every other endpoints work as the oracle you describe? Are you worried about rate-limiting specifically?

Rate-limiting was just the easy example. Other endpoints are subject to additional constraints: tokens don't directly carry their user information (IIRC), so someone with a collection of stolen tokens may not know which projects they can control. Similarly, tokens are scoped, so "create a new project" isn't an ability that an arbitrary token can necessarily do to gain more information about its rightful owner.

Like I said, I don't know too much about the actual design decisions for that endpoint! That was an educated guess, based on what I might have done.
> And I waited. And I waited. And I waited.

I agree Raku took far, far too long to please those who waited.

I'm sad that atweiden talks of Perl being disposable, especially in a thread about its future, and that they imply Raku is not destined for utter irrelevancy. I love both Perl and Raku, but irrelevancy is where we're all headed in the final analysis.

That said:

> The effort to move from perl5 to Raku is likely similar to the effort to move to Java, or Python, or Ruby...

Fwiw:

* You can use Perl libraries in Raku.[1]

* You can use Perl features in Raku.

* Raku has an excellent Jetbrains IDE.[2]

* It has a rounded out developer story -- ecosystem, OS packaging, compiler releases, mass testing, stackoverflow knowledgebase, sophisticated profilers, debugger, and so on.

But a content-hash would have given them a release ID (i.e. which specific version of the app bundle you're running.)

A series of {release hash, launch timestamp} events could be used to build a much more precise profile of your computing habits than just {app ID, launch timestamp} events would.

Also, you're ignoring the power-law: while yes, the majority of software exists in a long-tail of ISVs, most of the apps that people use are made by big corps that make a lot of apps each. 80% of the apps on any computer (Windows or macOS) are Microsoft or Apple or Adobe apps. When you're using any of those, all Apple gets is {Apple, timestamp} or {Google, timestamp} or {Adobe, timestamp}. That's... not very useful for profiling. Especially the first two. Safari and iTunes are both just "Apple" through this system. Are you working? Relaxing? Who knows?
That's a false dichotomy. You could have a highly democratic, highly local government with a lot of authority for example. The choice isn't between Big Brother and a Wild West town.

It also completely ignores that like 90% of what governments do is not to supply or withhold a right but to settle disputes between individuals when their rights are in contest.
Lineage runs on phones that have far superior hardware spec wise to the Pinephone and Librem 5. And I'd wager there's more people working on Lineage than there are working on Librem's and Pine's phone OSes combined.
I think this has been largely debunked by now, early SSDs had these problems but newer ones? not so much..; I mean, here's what smart says about the drive in my Mac atm:

Percentage Used: 0%

Data Units Written: 13,202,995 [6.75 TB]
Host Read Commands: 264,092,805
Host Write Commands: 158,635,815
Controller Busy Time: 0
Power Cycles: 188

The % used is (I think) the lost capacity due to wear, I've fairly hammered it so far and it's not even at 1%.. I'm pretty sure I'll get at least a few years out of it based on that..

Clickbait headline. This story is just about the original petition and the original 1500 names; yesterday's news. The petition in support of Stallman has a comparable number of names.
I want a phone that behaves like windows/linux desktop where I can freely download any application from any website and run it. And where the development can be as simple as hooking said phone to bigger screen, keyboard, mouse, launching some IDE and where I can code / design gui (delphi like) / compile (native please) / debug. Modern phone hardware has enough power for these tasks being done in place.

It should also have some low power built in core dedicated strictly to phone tasks that would have a priority over everything else.

Add to that decent hardware.
Some languages do have non arbitrators genders. In Dravidian languages male and female nouns usually only refer to humans. In one dravian language, kvi, the feminine was lost and so the only masculine things were adult human males, leading to amusing fact that early ethnographers didn’t realize a major god was actually a goddess!
This is the definition if a win-win then, because I would take a pay cut to keep working from home (not planning to mention this in salary negotiations). I definitely don't feel like I'm being exploited by saving my company a few bucks and saving irreplaceable moments of my life that I'd waste commuting. The lack of commute is the real kicker, driving to work costs me money, and it's a life-endangering activity.
> it's kind of odd that someone'd put mutating states in their tutorial proudly as a "feature"

Mutating state is actually the de-facto standard across most of the industry. Look at Vue or iOS or Android or Unity or Rails or J2EE... People literally use ORMs to make things more mutable than SQL.

Yes, you can use React setState, but surely it's not lost on you that this is wrapping over a lot of mutable operations too? Worth mentioning as well that setState semantics have some amount of complexity that is attributable to mutability leaking out of the immutability abstraction (e.g. the callback argument, what happens when things like multiple calls to setState occur synchronously, etc). This is the "curse of abstraction" that comes when you are trying to implement semantics that don't exist natively and the abstraction themselves have semantic weaknesses due to the chicken-and-egg problem of the required semantics not existing natively.

In StarCraft 2, if you're used to playing with specific settings (esp. graphics, keybindings, mouse speed), having to revert to standard is a huge handicap. There are also OS settings (keyboard delay and repeat rate) that if left at default basically make a "standard" game unplayable, especially for Zerg.
I must say, of all institutions, this one makes me the saddest to hear from. Of course, like others perhaps ought to do elsewhere, I will not demonize them as a whole because they said something I don't like, as I believe their mission is sincere and more important.

Android is technically Linux, sure. But it doesn't share the Linux ecosystem. GNU/Linux would be a way to distinguish, but it would exclude distros such as postmarketOS, which are part of the Linux ecosystem.
