"Why don't artists paint like [15th century Florentine masters] now?"

Our technical tools for making art have outstripped human ability. We've now entered the age of machines making art. Unreal Engine Meta Humans. And NVidia GauGANs that can output any Pixar USD encoded scene from a single "prompt" ;)

Furthermore we rely on visionaries to provide a glimpse at possible futures. Andy Warhol changed the way we saw the world and art itself with a single soup can painting. And predicted "famous for being famous" before it became ubiquitous. But a painting can't have that power anymore. The next great visionary artist will have to work in digital interactive media. But now who is the visionary who will master VR to show us what is to come, when most people simply what to retreat to a halcyon past? The most popular activity in VRChat is standing in front of a mirror, obsessing over one's own avatar self for hours. Unless we re-find the original techno-utopian plot of what the internet was meant to be. "Digital Acid" in the words of Terrence McKenna. A mind-expanding tool of shared consciousness. I think its just going to be more "content".
Then why not call it LOSS? The F has to mean something, and if it doesn't mean libre it either means gratis or it's redundant and confusing. GLOSS could be a different thing, to differentiate it from PLOSS (paid libre open source software).
What else do you know about Sweden that could have skewed their figures? Great healthcare? Strong public support of the measures that were put in place? Trust in govt? Healthy community to start with?

To say that Sweden and Swedes took no steps to protect themselves and their communities is baseless - I assume you do not live there? I have friends in Sweden, and the lives they are living are very very different to the friends in Australia and NZ.
That, and it's very easy to hide commits from the timeline too. You can get most if not all the benefits of rebase without losing history—that's a good thing.
As someone who has studied Korean and some Japanese, Japanese is definitely much more complex. If someone saw English had two syllabaries for the same exact sounds (like katakana and hiragana) they would probably also say it's unnecessarily complex. From a foreign perspective, lowercase and uppercase could be seen as arbitrarily complex.

I would guess they're talking about kanji though, which really isn't very complex. It's moreso just annoying to have glyphs that you can't pronounce if you don't already know an onyomi/kunyomi reading...
The article I wrote is about the GPL, not about the FSF. In my comment, I specifically said that free software (GPL being one of many licensing tools for free software) is as important as ever.

The FSF has accomplished very little in the past 10+ years, other than being the subject of controversey. It's not doing much good for the free software cause anymore, and in fact might be causing it harm. Admitting to this is not the same thing as agreeing to subscribe to the pattern you described, of well-meaning activists lacking technical chops inserting themselves into projects to establish a CoC and kick out undesirables.

Little of that has to do with RMS, for the record. I am not speaking out for or against RMS or his role at the FSF.

Tried to buy once in a mainland chinese super market why i need a deo-dorant. They had a good laugh! Still sold lots of variants of soap though.
Fair enough. It sounds like it's kinda there.

And yet, for me, you kind of answered another question with "a few weekends" and "a few AT commands". Because at first blush that isn't as approachable as I'd like. And what you described was doing things that I already do rudimentarily with phones for years. Does it have gpio that I can do weird things with? And what about graphics programming? Because handhelds have screens, and I'm 1000% sure I don't want to have to navigate the X stack with C as I have over the years, or GTK, and frankly, I don't really want to have to setup compiler tool chains or any of that. I realize in typing this up, that while the Linux on a pi is cool, it's actually that I can hack Python live in it right away that makes it so accessible. I think what I want in an open/creative phone is a live AND graphical programming environment like Squeak/Smalltalk or something of similar ilk.

Yes. Developers working independently is best for productivity, but sometimes you need to coordinate something, which then brings up the question: what to use? The last time I tried to list it, I came up with over a dozen options, all of which either require some sort of admin setup hassle or put you into the claws of some megacorp. With Fossil chat, you've already got Fossil set up, so it becomes the low-friction path.

Entrepreneur Raised over $100M to Make Your Data Unhackable
This post illustrates one of the reasons why I love Julia.

When talking to Python colleagues about Julia one response is "well, but I don't really care about performance _that_ much".

The thing about Julia is that you can code without caring about performance (and the performance will be Python-like). If later on it turns out that you DO care, you CAN optimize it. With Python you don't have that option, as in Python "optimizing" means using cython/numba over numpy arrays, and all the limitations inherent to that approach.

This is obviously good, and I'm not even sure what the trade-off is. What am I losing?

Ah, i didn't realize people in the anglosphere use it as a social category now.

In German language, dog breeds are called with the same word that can also be used on humans ("Hunderasse", "Rasse"), so i always understood it as a biological/taxonomical thing.
That was an example, with an explicit note about it. Geez.

It is perfect, since you have zero expectation your sofa should be transformed into something else, or make any provisions or concessions in its design towards looking or performing like some personalized flavor of sofa.

Similarly, the sooner we get over the trope that any handset maker must be forced into selling a tiny general purpose computing device instead of an iPod PDA communicator, the better. It is what it is, let makers just make it the best, without unnecessary and less reliable modularity. Yes people want that, it’s a market segment, and so other makers can make things for that category.
If they seize power by force AND they piss off NATO, then yeah. If they're anticommunists in Latin America, or anti-Gaddaffi in Libya, they'll probably be fine.
>"We wouldn't be comfortable that the way in which its workforce is employed is sustainable."

This doesn't sound like they're concerned over workers' rights. It sounds like they're concerned that deliveroo won't be able to keep exploiting gaps in employment legislation to generate profit.
This article has so little substance that I wish people would stop re-posting it. It adds nothing to the discussion. Like yeah, there are bug reports that haven't been addressed. Developers come and go and sometimes have to leave before they get to work out all the bugs in their feature(s). It happens. Every big open source project is like that. The bug tracker is open so that anyone can submit bug reports. The downside is that it tends to fill up with unsolicited bug reports that don't get responses. The upside is that anyone in or outside the project can volunteer to fix any of those bugs. I don't see JWZ stepping up to triage random bugs in GNOME, probably because he knows it's a thankless job with no pay that he wouldn't enjoy.

Yeah, of course I didn't mean they invented the word, just a new sense of it. It isn't the literal sense from Hinduism because game players aren't gods, and because typically the characters they play in the games don't exist until the players incarnate in them, but it's clearly a metaphorical extension of the Hindu concept, as explained in the article I linked above.
A platitude can often be worse than nothing at all. You've "solved" the problem, and now we can all go back to ignoring it. I'm more interested in real, scalable, sustainable funding solutions, than in continuing to give FOSS devs whatever crumbs may fall off of the SV dinner table. I'm certainly not going to pat anyone on the back for it.
Not really - just more datapoints to confirm such generalizations.
It sure is, but we need to keep in mind that between them and the next guy was a somewhat short amount of time (and the next guy didn't know anything about them). They happened to be first but with the technology at the time it was bound to happen soon.
Notepad.exe is just a wrapper around the edit control [1] that Windows ships as part of its core system. It doesn't even properly support undo as you can only undo the last action, which becomes the new last action, allowing you to only toggle between two states.

It's worth pointing out that Jobs specifically had an islet cell tumour, which is a pretty distinct form of pancreatic cancer and has a 5-year survival rate of maybe 50-60%.

(This is not to make a point about any personal health decisions he may have taken, but just to clarify why you will often hear his cancer being described as "curable").
Both the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links 404. Why does this require an account?
Theres almost always some truth to them.
And httpd and relayd.
I agree with the parent because creating code which runs arbitrary calculations is quite weird. You would assume you could just send instructions to the CPU and print the output.

The idea that there’s a huge wrapper around the CPUs core functionality is indeed weird because you would expect that functionality to be available without any program at all.
Databricks writes some good tools, but it can get pretty expensive. Kubeflow has been evolving well and is gaining lots of traction. It's pretty neat from my experience so far.
A different way to think about this is to focus on domains. While software is a general purpose skill, like accounting, you can still reap the benefits of specialization. If you know a domain (like real estate or financial services) well, you will be able to build better software quicker because you don't have to come up to speed on the concepts in an area.

If you've worked in real estate, you know, for instance, what the following concepts are:

* MLS
* Brokerage
* Referral fee
* sqft vs total sqft vs aboveground sqft
* pending vs backup status

None of these are rocket science, but knowing the domain deeply will make you a better developer for that problem space.

I also liked the author's turn of phrase at the end. I think as a technologist I sometimes am enamored of the solution, when I really should be focusing on the problem. And sometimes technology isn't the answer to the problem.
Surely if all the legal luminaries of HN banded together we could rewrite the constitution in a statically strong typed language and formal verify it.
The reason is because the problems that surface at scale are difficult to illustrate in a comparison blog, which is the foundation for all the rants against redux.

Redux is not complex, contrary to popular belief. The core code can be written in 100 LoC.

The real downside to redux is not the boilerplate that is required to set it up or the number of concepts to learn, instead it’s how easy it is to do it incorrectly. The redux maintainers have spent the last few years not making changes to the core library, but figuring out conventions and helper libraries to make it more clear what you should (eg normalize state) and should not (put every piece of state) in your redux store.

No offense but the spec exercise seems like a waste of both of our time. No amount of talking about an app can illustrate the code organization at scale.
The real value comes from learning about both, so that you can maximise the "surface area" of where solutions meet problems.

When you don't understand the problem, you tend to over-engineer with a lot of technology not actually delivering any value. But if you don't understand the solutions, you under-engineer - this is how organisations end up running an ERP through WordPress.

Instead of learning lots about problems, learn about how to listen so you can quickly understand problems.
It's been very cold to be tryping in the park as well! It's getting better now, but is still not ideal. I have particularly cold extremities so it's very painful to type in that weather.
Some people are successful because they are successful in the same way some are famous for being famous. Musk being the prime example of the first and the Kardashians the second. That is not a knock on Musk and he has been able to parley his successes very effectively. In some ways I feel like he is our generation's Thomas Edison.

What you observe in Musk and Gates is called the halo effect. Both men have had failures, we just tend to be blind to them. Gates was never able to enter the phone market for example and Musk almost failed with Tesla on several occasions and has basically failed with consumer solar.

Remember, the point of trying is partially failing and learning from those failures. That is what ultimately will make you a success. If you don't risk failure and only attempt things you know you will succeed in then you will never be more than mediocre.
Just like gender it used to mean that, but now we have to pretend it has always meant something else.
I think that people bash the ideas and the writing. The writing is terrible: too wordy (too up-its-own-ass to put it rudely), and the characters too unbelievable: everyone she wants to be a hero is a shining paragon of virtue in all aspects without so much as a single flaw, and whomever she wants to be the bad guys are similarly extreme caricatures of lazy, cheating, and stealing bastards. I'll pass.

Separate to that, her ideas are disliked with good reason.
In my case I'm happy enough to not be paying $150 gas a month and a 1800 min driving commute a month (30 hr x $50 per hr is $1500) and $100 parking that I dont mind to continue paying for the internet I already had and the little extra electricity I use by WFH.

Japan definitely has one of the most complicated writing systems in the world, but you can get pretty complicated with alphabets if you just go too long without spelling reform. Look at the split between Tibetan as written and Tibetan as pronounced, or basically anything to do with English and our complete lack of spelling integrity.
Depends on what you mean by building. There are plenty of snap in tools out there (OSS libs, frameworks, identity providers) that you can snap in. I think that makes 'building' auth easier.

It's kinda like deciding on a data layer. You have to do it, you have to get it right, but it's not a feature your end users are going to love.
> What people really want, is a phone that is on their side

100% this.

Why is it so difficult to copy files to/from my phone?

Why is it so difficult to list all the files in a folder?

Why is it so difficult to get a list of what's running?

_Why is it so difficult to know that my phone is working for me_?
The hate is generally thrown around by people who simultaneously think people should be good, but can't be trusted to be good. So we need a large government to enforce good behavior in all manner of activities. This government will, of course, be entirely benevolent. The members of government will all known better and act accordingly.

The left may espouse noble causes, but it is authoritarian in its execution and intolerant of disagreement. Rand threatens that.

The right is religious and more immediately rejects Rand at a surface level -- same thing, different authority.
Its nice to see that all those funds raining down on elite athletes may lead to medical innovation.

You would expect F1 web sites to be slow. F1 is one of those out-of-touch NGO's like FIFA.
You said "The thing about Julia is that you can code without caring about performance (and the performance will be Python-like)."

This is not my experience. Even if you code without caring about performance it is way faster than Python. Also, it is not any harder to code in than Python. It is as high level if not more.
Any age of consent discussion is nonsense after all great things he did. He can have any opinion he considers wise and if somebody disagrees this disagreement has nothing to do with Free Software idea. Who knows, maybe after 100 years Stallman's point of view about consent will became common.
You can't lump all GPL licenced software into one bucket. GPL <=2 is quite different to GPL 3. Which is why GPL 3 is anathema to many commercial companies.

I can pretty much guarantee that none of those "smart" TVs are running GPLv3 code.

Hehe, and then there's the Affero licence...

Different people have different ideas about what “the field” is. And outsiders can give valuable insights and ideas just because they don’t always follow the ideas that everyone in “the field” has internalised. It is hard for them to go all the way though, because they often miss things that are obvious to specialists.

You should not dismiss outsiders a priori. Not all of them are crackpots.
I use it for any personal projects that are large enough that I want a few pages of documentation and a ticket system to keep track of planned features.

The ticket system can be configured quite a bit, so I usually set it up like a todo list with: “to do, doing, done”.
I think it is likely an alternative career path for a handful of FOSS unicorns whose work is so instrumental that private corporations desperately need their work to continue.

Among us, some "entrepreneurs" will produce 100 little projects and try to get them all funded and then Show HN how they make a living off of dozens of lightly funded projects.

Funds for Open Source will globalize some work inasmuch as some developers will get paid some money in places where no development career paths exist now. Look at the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness report and you can find at least 20 countries where tech companies do not hire.

To your point, the reason people open source for free is that they cannot produce free software and get paid. There is no way for them to be compensated for working in alignment with their own values. Funds for Open Source attacks that problem.

I don't know that Funds is a good organization, or that they are fair in their pricing, or whether they are the best equipped private, for-profit company to wedge themselves between free-thinking developers and the corporate entities that consume their work for free, but I think the business model for Funds makes a lot of sense.
It's open source except if you're profiting for it.

I don't know if my english is rudimentary or something.
No, you would pay per month, it would be automated. We could throw it on the block chain, or have an AI calculate it.

If you never run it you never run it, if it's part of your business backup plan you pay it.

With OSS for sure, you just go 0$ monthly payments, most straightforward payment plan ever, can't argue with that.

Per the article the suspect requested the ban. The title gives the impression that the judge chose for her.
The real issue is in how the Wrights are portrayed. They are touted as isolated geniuses who invented flying. In reality they were part of a large community of people all attacking the problem. The various techs were coming together, specifically IC engines and the understanding of aero/fluid dynamics. The Wrights were indeed first, but had they not existed any number of other teams would have achieved the same thing at almost the same time in history.
This weird tirade does not give any convincing argument for its claims. More SW patents and big daddy government saving us from evil actors? Really? It is either an emotional release of a deranged FSF detractor, or a paid hit piece on Stallmann and FSF. Maybe both.
He had a rare type of pancreatic cancer.

// Jobs had a rare form of the cancer, known as neuroendocrine cancer, which grows more slowly and is easier to treat, explains Leonard Saltz, acting chief of the gastrointestinal oncology service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. "Survival for many years or even decades with endocrine cancer is not surprising." For that type, the sort that Jobs had, "survival is measured in years, as opposed to pancreatic cancer, which is measured in months." //
