Note: I do understand Apple's privacy concerns with some or even most of them. But most of these are obviously necessary if you want to turn the browser into the main application platform, for better and for worse.
> company and all its investors and directors should have all their assets seized

This is expropriation. Its track record is poor. It results in government cronies applying the “death penalty” to people it doesn’t like to take their stuff. To the degree it exists in America (for individuals), it’s called civil forfeiture and is roundly criticised.

If you don’t give the assets to the government after seizure, and instead auction them off, the original investors would repurchase them. This redistributes assets from shareholders who do not have access to the auction to those who do. Again, cronyism.

Corporate “death penalties” are either stupid or an invitation for corruption. Punishing individual actors, individual decision makers, is less risky and more effective.
Brave has been around since 2015. When the iPhone came out it exploded like wildfire, and the year after came the iPhone 3G, followed by the iPhone 3GS.

And if any of the major browser vendors did the same thing Brave did, it would be a scandal. In that way, Brave's innovation must be that they can fly under the radar.
I shouldn't have to care. I absolutely love my P2. I would like little more than permanent support for Android on my P2.

Why? I just want working hardware to be able to continue to work. It's still a great phone for me. If a "Linux phone" means the OS vendor doesn't isolate me from updates just because they have new hardware out, then yes, I want a Linux phone.
All I can think is that it seems a bit early for April Fool's jokes.

It isn't clear what makes bundling a chat program into your SCM beneficial. The only benefit I can see is linking to other things in the SCM like wikis and issues, but since these are available on the web anyways you can just use regular URLs in any old chat app.

The other possible benefit would be keeping chat with you for local searching and keeping it with the history of the repo, however this is designed to be ephemeral so throwing that possible benefit away. (I guess you are supposed to use Forums for that https://www.fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/forum.wiki)

I'm not a Fossil user, so maybe I just don't understand, but I see little to no value in this feature.
I watched CNN for about 20 minutes yesterday morning and they were talking about the shooting at the grocery store. To their credit, they only said his name once in that time. They referred to him only as "the shooter".

I decided that react was going down since the introduction of hooks. Before that I was using higher order component (hoc) perfectly fine and there was even libraries like recompose/recompact that made HOCs more convenient. They're really just functions (no magic, not like quote unquote) and they don't invite devs to convert everything into them and break portability/separation of concerns like hooks do. They're also highly composable (there are no such thing as rules of HOCs), you can pass HOCs as params or put them in conditional code branch or whatever you feel like.
Assuming isn't collecting though, and I'm not clear how implicit consent could be collected either. What would there be to collect? To me collecting means retaining evidence or a record of the consent in some form.
True, but less than half of world countries are covered by street view and it's possible for a human to learn the distinctive metadata features of every single one, together with all the common roadside features like poles, road markings, and vegetation. So I don't know if the level of granularity where statistical variations are noticed is required to succeed at least in determining the country.

But in terms of picking the closest point within a country,
perhaps with a large enough dataset the AI would be able to distinguish based on local weather conditions when the Google car was driving through certain regions. And this would trump the player's ability to read place names and signage.
> Containers on the desktop are a symptom of a festering underlying disease.

Agreed, although we may be in disagreement regarding what the disease is.

> Modern Linux development is extremely rapid pace

I believe you are over-generalizing, both over different distributions and over different packages within a distribution.

> and is 100% targeted at the needs of the corporate entities paying for the development.

... specifically, many distributions are not funded by one, or a few, specific entities, corporate or otherwise. Debian comes to mind. I've never felt its is developed rapidly, or that languages change that quickly.

> . Linux desktop can't live for more than a few years on it's own

I'm not sure what you mean.

> In order to deal with the backwards incompatible features some desktop distros have shifted to using containers.

but the rest haven't.
There are people wishing to create software in the OSS definition, regardless of politics and ethics.

Who are the critics to tell them what to do with their time? Yes some of their creations will be used for (sometimes perverse) law enforcement, waging wars and what not, so what? The idea that curl should be released under a "no baddies" license is ridiculous.

OSS organizations should ignore all attempts to guilt-trip them into abandoning their spirit.

Those wishing to mix ethics with code are welcome to start their own and rally people away from OSS of course, good luck.
> Pretty sure no one who works in the restaurant industry thinks this. There's always a supply chain.

Perhaps not. And yes, I know there's a supply chain. But every restaurant I've been to - or ordered from - where I live[0], each one has its own distinct and consistent style. For instance, being a pizza aficionado, I could tell you just by looking and tasting, which restaurant you ordered a pizza from in the town I now live, and which major pizza parlor[1] you ordered from in Kraków (the city I spent most of my life in).

This is what I'm concerned about. While not perfect, the restaurant's name was something you could use to "hash" a particular style of a particular dish by. They may have all supplied themselves at few well-known wholesalers[2], but they each processed the ingredients differently. Ghost kitchens + "virtual restaurants" kill that mechanism.

To be clear: I don't mind the concept of ghost kitchens per se. Done well (i.e. regulated well), they'll be able to deliver consistent quality at good price. My problem is with the other half of the equation - the virtual restaurants.

Something like this has already happened with consumer goods - so many of them are white-label goods these days, each sold by many fly-by-night brands. Consumer's ability to use branding as a proxy for quality (or quality of support) has been destroyed, DDoSed by the proliferation of such transient brands. I consider this a loss to customers and to the market at large (it increases information asymmetry). I worry the same is about to happen with food delivery.

[0] - I love my country for being just enough developed to get all the fun stuff conceived in the US, but just enough not developed that they come with a delay of a few years - giving us time to see the expected social impact things will have :).

[1] - At least until recently. Now there's too many small operators offering delivery services to track - but I can still distinguish between the ~6-8 places I used to order from. When these small operators started showing up, many of them were delivery-only, so I suspect they may have graduated to ghost kitchen frontends by now.

[2] - Or discount supermarkets :). My wife and I have a bunch of stories about it. Notably, I remember once being in the queue behind a couple who were buying the entire stock of chicken breast and invoicing it to a company - presumably the Asian restaurant nearby :).
That probably had a lot to do with it I am sure.
You need to address the author’s points though: if you agree that spyware is a problem that impinges on user freedom, what agenda should we advance to solve it? is advocating for copyleft licensing actually helping? Do you really believe that a world where everyone only used GPL software would be free of spyware?
> Doesn't that mean he received the original posting after all?

I assume that he received the original posting but wasn't aware of the contents ("I am stunned to see that we had this offer", note the use of tenses). FWIW he uses an email to fetch emails from the external inbox, so it seems likely that it just got shelved for a decade.

I think maybe the deal looks like it gets worse because the RAM provided increases significantly.
For us, it was basically about using direct SQL to avoid the ORM / SQL mismatch, while still having a (relatively) straightforward way to turn rows into POJOs.

I mean, not as easy as just annotating some attributes of a class for Hibernate, but being able to specify the SQL itself was what sold me on it.

I guess it's not much different to Spring's JdbcTemplate etc. in that regard, but it came with minimal dependency baggage.

I do quite like Jdbi's SqlObject API, wherein you annotate a interface's methods with SQL (and a bunch of other annotations if you're getting fancy) which abstracts the boilerplate away to a large extent. I use this quite often for integration testing where there's an embedded PG instance and you need a straightforward way to populate it with expected data.

Where it really shined though, was in stuff that is trivial in SQL, but hard in DSLs, like doing a batch upsert (or as PG calls it, INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE...) was trivial in Jdbi compared to Hibernate etc. Just because we weren't relying on some DSL to generate the necessary SQL.

Also, Jdbi integrates reasonably nicely with Flyway schema migrations.
I want a phone that doesn't track the living hell out of me, and has an OS which I can modify and reinstall myself, and most importantly, doesn't immediately stop receiving security updates after 1 year. It doesn't have to be Linux, but that seems like the best candidate. I'm very happy to be proven wrong here.
That still has nothing to do with Biology probably not being the right approach to use here.

Evolution doesn't know or care about space travel. It's separate concerns entirely. One is a function of the environment and adapting to it, the other requires a sapient species to create and apply technology, which - judging from current observation - is neither a common, nor obvious result of evolution.
> And 1 year later you've finally deployed a registration form.

This made me laugh. What's wrong with tailor-made software? It seems that all we care about nowadays is to "get shit done". I wish this kind of thinking vanishes soon.
Are you outside of a major metro area? I say this because I've had 0 issues with Amazon deliveries during all of this and the only thing I can think of is I live in a major population center. That said it really sucks if that's the case because I imagine Amazon etc are lifelines for people outside of larger living areas.

Just now we had a bit of a kerfuffle with telemetry being enabled in the most popular Lua language server[0].

I can't argue with the specific usecase presented in that GitHub issue, I'm going to keep telemetry enabled. But if you argue that vendors "usually won't be inserting spyware", in the face of evidence like free software products seeing value in phoning home with telemetry data, I think I have the moral right to reject your argument in full.

I'll continue to put my software under the GPL until I'm convinced a different license would be better. But along with many others I certainly won't be contributing to an FSF project.
I replaced my i9 16” MBP with a 13” Air. Performance with Xcode is either the same or better on the Air.

Battery life is the true game changer though. When I went out with the 16” I had to make sure I had 100% charge, if I wanted to use it for ~3-4 hours while out. With the Air I can grab it with 25% battery left and be fine for the same amount of time.

The “actual” pro machines with M1 derivatives are going to be incredible…so long as apple doesn’t make another Touchbar/butterfly keyboard-esq mistake.

Hi Corkinn,

I really liked the look of your website.

A few companies experimented with this model in the early 2010s, Queremos! In Brazil (https://techcrunch.com/2012/09/10/queremos/ ), Songkick had their own product with Songkick Detour, then there is Alive in Japan (which I own). As far as I know no one managed to get the model to work in a big way and everyone had to abandon it or pivot to make decent revenues (including me).

I really enjoyed my crowdfunding platform journey, however having now toured hundreds of bands I can see flaws in the business model that I was naive to as a first time founder with limited experience of touring bands.

I do respect what you are trying to do and getting bands playing in the right places is a valuable problem to solve. However I don't think crowdfunding/crowdsourcing is the solution. I'd be happy to share my personal experiences working in this sector if it might be of help.

Best wishes

Audiobooks were a fairly niche market in the US until extremely recently, which is why Audible was able to come in and take over a huge percentage of the market share.

So they built their own chat room feature?

I feel that's a bit short-sighted, but I'll admit I'm only a random opinionated passer-by. You can certainly do it, but you'll run quickly into issues and be buried in feature requests because like it or not, a chat room isn't just "a couple messages being passed back and forth"

Try evolutionary psychology or gene evolution theory. UK is full of nutjobs.
Right, when a large corporation bought one of my previous employers we used their more generous "team building" budget to take the software engineering team to Bletchley and one of the reasons was that two of our small (UK based) team were Polish and the Polish contribution on Enigma was so important.

So it needed to be a) fast to build and b) very flexible on styling.

Carrd is great, but didn't have the low level detail needed to make the two sites look seamless when navigating between them.

Dorik had been on my "list to try" for a while so started using that for the first time just to see what would happen.
