That would be very fragile.

For thousands of years, Native Americans maintained comparatively low densities and longer distances between people. Large cities existed in the Mississippi basin, but that was the exception. From a "public health" perspective, this was great.

Then they encountered a population that had been living in denser conditions, both with other humans and with animals. These people had been a breeding ground for pathogens, a big gain-of-function experiment, for thousands of years. They even smelled bad.

The population with the good public health was ravaged by the worst plague the world has ever known, a plague that makes the Black Death look like the common cold, a plague that killed 90% of people in many places, that destroyed cities, that nearly emptied continents ("providentially", from the invaders' point of view).

To this day, it is a tragedy whenever an uncontacted tribe in the Amazon is met by an outsider, because within a month 90% of the tribe is dead of disease.

It is very good for a society to embrace vaccines. It is very bad for a society to sit out the next rounds of evolution, or of immune learning. You'll end up with Galapagos syndrome.

Consider the Indian symbol of the lotus. (It is the sign of the BJP.) It symbolizes "beauty growing from the muck". The "muck" is important. Drink the water.

A society that really wants to win, should have viral research facilities, well protected in their deepest deserts, where gain of function experiments speed evolution and produce ever more dangerous threats. At the same time, they should develop vaccines for these viruses, and include them in peoples' regular shots. If it wants to go on the offense, all this society has to do is release its pathogens. It will be protected; its enemies will not.

Lockdowns can be accepted as one-off responses that preserve population while a vaccine is developed. Since you end up with the same (or even better) immunity but less death, it's a win. So just be patient; we're almost there.

But as a long term solution, a society that embraces lockdowns over immune learning is going down the wrong path.
I'll go a step further and say that these projects end up being net harmful to the Linux space precisely because they're seeking a goal that the last 10-15 years has proven that they are not good at.

The goal is something like "a unified Mac-like system space," but as people here have correctly noted, I don't think its possible to bring a bunch of developers together to create a universally "nice" space unless one of them is named Steve Jobs.

What makes it worse is that we have these two large projects with a lot of good history behind them that nonetheless have not really done anything good (in terms of a unified experience, many of the individual apps are great) recently. They have a lot of the mindshare and very little to show for it.

Obviously, developers are free to run their projects how they wish, but my wish is that they'd wake up and realize they're not Apple; but there is something they could do that would actually be helpful. Not try to work on carving out their own space -- but the opposite -- try to figure out how to create modular parts of a workspace that really work well together and across WMs and platforms.

Until then, I'll do what I've been doing, which is Openbox plus the things I need and like. I see cool things in Gnome and KDE that I'd love to have, but then they bring the rest of their baggage that just gets in the way, so no.
Honest question: does LibreSSL have this same vulnerability?

If they do, fair comment. If not, then they obviously changed something, ipso facto.
I do not believe that is true. Pure FSMs are not Turing complete[1] while behavior trees can be made trivially so. BTs are not isomorphic to FSMs. I am not aware of any system that can be modeled in an FSM and not in a behavior tree.

> I "slimmed" down my collection from 1TB+ to 200GB by deleting all the more "common" stuff I could easily find on Spotify only to realise that the versions I had (the original, pure, untouched music) was only available as fucking remasters etcetera

Yeah, you get the version they choose. Admittedly, this is not something I run into often, but for example: the stereo remasters of the early Beatles albums sound terrible to me with headphones because everything is hard-panned (e.g. vocals are only in the right channel). These albums were originally mixed in mono and sound way better that way. It's impossible to listen to these albums in mono on Spotify even though digital versions do exist.

That's not the case no, you usually access your database with thread pool. Otherwise everyone would wait until the single connection is free. Once you have a bit more users that tries to write everything will fall appart.
I think it is normal in big cities - the problem is people want this in suburbs as well, which often lack the density to support the idea.
Data Mesh: The Answer to the Data Warehouse Hypocrisy
Software vendors basically have to be dragged kicking and screaming into not inserting spyware into their wares.

Look at the giant tantrum basically every software vendor is throwing over the quite reasonable restrictions that the EU placed on spyware. I have to tell users about the spyware I'm inflicting on them and ask for consent first? End of the world.
I think it's better than nothing to be honest. The only thing is, it's voluntary, so in that sense it's always a bit like charity, and it's always towards a given project at large and not spread. But I have no horse in this race.

There is at least a third group: people neither at risk nor majorly inconvenienced who sympathize with the "young people".

I am nearly middled-aged myself and living in the countryside and remote-working for years already, so I am not very inconvenienced. But I want restrictions lifted so that people in their teens and twenties can have their big festivities, courtship rituals, etc.

The COVID lockdowns have been the biggest betrayal of youth since May '68, and their loss of freedoms offends me more than the deaths of the old.
At the time when WordPress rolled out SQLite was still in its infancy while MySQL was already a mature DB, hence the choice. These days however they could, at least, do a nice wizard to ask "do you want to run a blog only?" and deploy SQLite instead.
After years of trying to make either work like I want, I discovered tiling window managers like xmonad and i3 and I haven't looked back, as I've gained so much efficiency in my work tasks.

I still use a traditional desktop environment for most browser and app tasks, but even there I end up tiling or maximizing the windows using keyboard shortcuts. Dragging overlapping windows sucks and I never want to do it again.
I agree it makes a lot of sense for stuff that could never be offered as a free back-end service. FFmpeg is a complex app as well, I tried to measure the the size of the binary + all shared libraries on my linux system and I came up with almost 180MB. I couldn't tell if the .WASM file was being transferred compressed either, it should compress more than 2x.

(This is how I tried to measure FFmpeg binary size, I have no idea if it is correct:

ldd $(which ffmpeg) | egrep -o "/[^ ]+" | \
xargs readlink -f | xargs stat -c '%s' | \
python3 -c 'import sys; print(sum(map(lambda s: int(s.strip(), 10), sys.stdin.read().split())))'

Yeah I’m going to need examples of what features get locked by not providing location. I’m just not buying this is anything other than wanting to avoid geo restrictions on content. I mean I understand the desire for this but I also understand the desire not to pay for content, so this is a thin one when it comes to “freedom”.

Oh and as for tracking, at least for the company they can already track you by what towers you’re connected to. So there’s no technical limitation on this being provided to apps regardless of what you might spoof.

With no sense of overstatement here, SQLite is one of my favorite creations in the entire world, so I have a bunch of links some of you might find interesting if you want to dig further:

https://github.com/sql-js/sql.js - SQL.js lets you run SQLite within a Web page as it's just SQLite compiled to JS with Emscripten.

https://litestream.io/blog/why-i-built-litestream/ - Litestream is a SQLite-powered streaming replication system.

https://sqlite.org/lang_with.html#rcex3 - you can do graph-style queries against SQLite too (briefly mentioned in the article).

https://github.com/aergoio/aergolite - AergoLite is replicated SQLite but secured by a blockchain.

https://github.com/simonw/datasette - Datasette (mentioned at the very end of the OP article) is a tool for offering up an SQLite database as a Web accessible service - you can do queries, data analysis, etc. on top of it. I believe Simon, the creator, frequents HN too and is a true SQLite power user :-)

https://dogsheep.github.io/ - Dogsheep is a whole roster of tools for doing personal analytics (e.g. analyzing your GitHub or Twitter use, say) using SQLite and Datasette.
I was only speaking about one-man personal projects. In my case, I shipped 3 of them (nullitics, lalatabs and a brand new version of onthesamepage) in 3 months. Depends on the project type and on the person, I guess.

Nit: Copy has always been a builtin auto trait so it has always been implemented. You are right for the other traits.

(also as other commenters point out, std builtin types like Clone etc have already been supporting larger array sizes because of the standard library's ability to use unstable features, but before const generics were available as an unstable feature, that restriction very much did exist, and now crates from the ecosystem can use it too).

> Accepted because you conform to a certain societal expectation is not really acceptance.

Social acceptance heavily depends on conformity. Groups don't welcome you if you do not conform to group identity. This is why not every group works for every individual. Sure, sometimes groups should overcome prejudice or stigma, but when you're "difficult to relate to", or "difficult to communicate with" (your examples), then most groups won't be welcoming and I find that quite understandable. Luckily however, some groups (Mensa perhaps) will welcome you. That's usually also why such groups are founded in the first place.

> So not just anecdotal data

This was the entire structure of my first comment, and I never hid that one bit.

> but highly subjective anecdotal data

Those people were way happier after they lived more balanced lives, but happiness is an emotion and thus subjective, that's definitely true.

> Nobody should run too fast, lift too much, be too tall, be too short, be too good at anything. Don't ever risk making the average even the slightest bit uncomfortable.

This is just twisting my argument into an apagoge.

I mainly wrote my comments to offer a different view to the depressed intelligent people, as it often feels like there are quite a few here on HN. I've met very smart and depressed people, and they often felt very sorry for themselves and blamed the world. I tried to convince them that a different approach would help more, and they live way happier lives now. I know that's anecdotal, I know that's subjective. I never hid that, but just tried to offer my take on the issue.
I have managed to try it now, and indeed it is almost perfect for my use case :
Often I find videos on youtube for example which I want to show snippet to someone or save it. So I download it easily with youtube-dl but then clipping is never really easy (especially on linux).

To improve the tool it would be nice to play the part clipped with the sound to check if it's ok.
Also the tool failed to load one video.

Good job !

> What people really want, is a phone that is on their side. iOS doesn't support open standards like Vulkan mainly because it's not in Apple's interest to support them. Not because it's in the user's interest, necessarily.

I couldn't agree with "people want a phone that is on their side" more.

I also agree that Linux matters as much as iOS's BSD heart—that is, it doesn't. But this is also why the Vulkan example doesn't serve your point. As with Linux, technical implementation details aren't why people are using iPhones.

Most people use iPhones because of the complete experience. For the few who care whether the iPhone is "on their side", it is clear that Apple's business model is generally aligned with their interests. This is either unknown or untrue for alternatives.

This is where open source phone vendors will fail. Trust is not simply a technology problem.
"Several hundred thousand people are dead because politicians failed to act effectively"

I couldn't disagree more with this. Several hundred thousand people are dead because mother nature saw fit to allow a virus no living person had immunity from to jump into the human population. Sadly, the predictable occurred and no politician was going to do very much about it.

Looking back on it, the only effective preventative measure that had any chance at all of working in the US would have been to totally seal the national borders about mid January 2020.

At the time the politicians were too busy trying to impeach the executive office holder who may have debatably held the authority to accomplish such an action. When there finally were inbound travel restrictions implemented the leadership was yet again accused of Xenophobia and Racism per usual opposition schtick (farcical as US residents returning from abroad were just as much of a risk).

In my opinion, with the benefit of hindsight, this could have all been avoided in the US had such an action been taken. It wasn't and here we are. The world is poorly made I regret to report.
It's extremely hard to justify the value it provides over something more out of the box. From an engineering perspective, it makes sense. From a business perspective, it often doesn't make sense to spend 10x as much money to make users 10% happier. It almost certainly won't cause you to make 10x as much money.
> He's a champion of GPLv3, which companies are already avoiding like the plague and is driving them to development alternative SW to replace the GPLv3 tools.

The above proves my point, companies will not use the GPL-3 because thay cannot enhance Free Software with out giving back. It is all about money and Linux has turned into a big money maker for companies.
iTunes does this. It calls them “smart playlists” and they are one of the reasons I don’t use other players. My copy spends most of its time wandering through a smart playlist designed to not play anything played or skipped within the last couple of weeks.
What you already knows determines what you consider "easy".

When you learn English, Italian, Spanish and French you are not learning really 4 different languages as those languages overlap each other, they are from the same family(English is part of the germanic[anglo-saxon] but also the Latin family[normand]).

If you are native English speaker, you will learn French easily as most of english vocabulary(more than 60% of adjectives, and adverbs for example) comes from French.

As a native Spanish speaker, I understand most Italian and Portuguese with little effort, and French only problem is pronunciation, reading it is very easy.

For a Chinese native(Mandarin or Cantonese), learning written Japanese is easy, almost trivial.

I find Hiragana and Katakana easy to learn, not different from a vocabulary. It is kanji what is harder.
CPAN was (at best) the second because it was based on CTAN, the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CTAN

Also mod_php was more akin to FastCGI with the limited access it gave PHP to the Apache request cycle. While mod_perl allowed you to effectively override any stage of the Apache request cycle with custom code. With mod_perl2 this was pushed to the point where I believe the Apache Foundation was running Apache for their SMTP servers running custom Perl protocol handlers.
AFAIK, that violates HIPPA.
There is a 'transfer' crate adding support for custom non-trivial moves of pinned objects, ala C++ move semantics. AIUI, support for "in-place" objects would also be needed, which is not yet part of Rust but there are plans to add it to the language.
What was your issue with Sapper? I found it to work great for me, and always interested in others' use cases.

This is the training undertaken by Black Cab (taxi) drivers in London. They memorise every street in London and have to be able to mentally direct from any location to any other. It is known to change the brain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3268356/)

I found this absolutely fascinating. The first scene alone, slowly zooming in on the chief examiner (an ex cop) in front of the map as he rattles off the definition of an “important place”, made my jaw drop, As this knowledge of all the streets of london gets less and less relevant because of ubiquitous GPS, I find myself (a Londoner) more drawn than ever to these “human computer”-like tasks.

Some amazing atmosphere from the 90s here. Race relations. Relations between the English and the Irish. Class differences. It’s all here. I was so happy to find this and hope someone else can enjoy it too.

When I was younger I never quite got what Steve talked about sometimes / wasn't interested. I think I dismissed it as PR hype or whatever (don't listen to the man in the suit!).

Now I hear it and with hindsight and probably just being in the future decades later it seems so on point and such a simple explanation for what to me earlier (if I really thought about it) seemed like "Man for that to be there has to be... <brain seizes up>".

His explanations seem effortless.
Can you provide some examples of frameworks with such pattern? I actually have never seen it in any of the Python or Go web applications that I had a chance to work with.
They did more than that. See e.g. this slide: If you use normal coding patterns, then normal linting tools can notice the bugs. The openssl code was hiding the truth from these tools, for no reason.

I don't disagree with the sentiment but I do disagree with the implementation part of way Free Software (free as in speech) works is because I can do whatever I want with it, if I don't want to charge I shouldn't be forced to. Tbh what you are suggesting sounds like getting rid of FOSS entirely and bringing it back under the guise of Freeware.

If you really don't want corporations to benefit off your work without contributing back go GPL or stop maintaining it.

The dependency values wouldn't need to be $0.01.

With 1M commercial servers that would be 100k per month. Not faang salaries I know. Maybe left pad could be paid in bitcoin, so we could have like fractionality towards infinity.
