When they tried to cancel RMS for the first time in 2019, I am ashamed to say that I used it as an opportunity to pile on him on Twitter. I was sore about petty differences such as the architectural crippling of GCC and the viral nature of the GPL.

Since then, I have seen user freedoms continue to erode. Statists continue to push for more controls and backdoors on encryption. Repressive governments have the cooperation of the companies that run the mobile device app stores. Desktop operating systems continue to degrade with the addition of advertisements and increasing amounts of DRM, spying and "trusted computing" features that limit what you can do with your own machine. In short, we are one or two steps away from Stallman's nightmare scenario, where the illegal use of debuggers and compilers is considered a crime.

I used Stallman's first cancellation to advance my own permissive-licensing agenda (albeit by a very small amount, as I'm an unknown). Introspecting upon the way I reacted initially, I now suspect that this is simply another attempt by powerful interests in government and business (notably, a great deal of enmity against RMS comes from Microsoft and Salesforce) to destroy a man that has dedicated his life to keeping computing free.

Sorry, I haven't thought to bookmark any of them. I'm just talking about sites I'd come across while browsing, perhaps following some interesting links from sites like HN. But on a noticeable number of occasions now, dev tools confirm there are script errors that seem to come from identifiers being undefined and the like, and if I literally disable every add-on I'm using, they are still undefined (but only in Firefox, not other browsers). The changes to promote privacy in recent versions of Firefox seem like the most likely explanation at that point, though to be fair I have no hard evidence of that either.
Same experience for me, when interviewing if the candidate is a new grad and has a nice GitHub profile and I can actually look at the code it's great (otherwise what I am hiring on?), but I never passed anyone for not having GitHub contributions.

Likewise, unless I just stop doing my job and flat out refuse to do my tasks I never had issues with learning new technologies on the job. If anything I got congratulated for showing initiative in exploring ways to better our current stack.
The must impactful difference is going to be libraries/ecosystem. Go has a very rich ecosystem now.
As little as I like to do this, I think it's important to bring up the "autism" topic, because I see way too many autistic programmers being thrown under the bus for stuff like this. To start, the three smartest programmers I personally know are autistic, and all of them struggle to make sound judgement calls at the drop of a hat. I've seen them lambasted in IRC channels for saying stupid things or slipping up a function name when writing documentation, but every one of them could out-code their harasser at a moments notice. I get the feeling we're in the same boat with RMS, since I've seen his behavior before in neurodivergent programmers: hard-headedness, dedication to a fault, and speaking his mind even when the social repercussions could blow up in his face. His Aspbergers is part of what makes him who he is, and I'd rather have a distastefully transparent board member than a muzzled figurehead. I value Stallman's voice, and I honestly feel bad that his slips are being sensationalized now.
You don't have to quit cold turkey, but do set up an RSS reader and begin adding the feeds of every single interesting website you find on content aggregators like reddit/HN. Eventually, over the course of months or years, you'll grow your local RSS feeds like large enough to wean off centralized corporate aggregators.
This reminds me of my favorite "thought experiment" to poke at intuition: with no other information that what most people learn in elementary/middle school science (or what I would assume is taught, i.e. the water and respiration cycles), where does the majority of a tree's mass come from?

First we might look at dirt, but that doesn't quite pan out; where does the mass come from, and how would it be replenished? We don't see gaps slowly start forming around roots, and dirt doesn't just build up in other places, so that's probably not it.

Next we might look at water, but water is only made of hydrogen and oxygen, and the oxygen is released. The water also brings in nutrients, but there's no way it brings in enough to generate the majority of a trees mass.

So there's only one place left, which is never anyone's first guess and almost never crosses anyone's mind at first glance: air. It's around this point that most people realize that a majority of a tree is carbon, which all comes in from the air as carbon dioxide.
RMS failed in his way to communicate with people, he hurt people and there are reports of scared away women. The community failed by not calling him on his mistakes, by not making these publicly clear as early as possible disregarding that he is stubborn but changes his mind when bad stances are explained clearly.

His victims should not be blamed, but people around him have to admit there are reasons he is compared to a spoiled child. This has to stop.

For his importance and the willingness to defend points of view which may be inconvenient for most people, he is needed in a movement which requires such a level of dedication and sacrifice. I don't believe there is anybody else who is capable living the way he lives just to stand on the very strict ethical side. He is very much needed.

Cancel culture should be handled carefully, for punishment should not make people give up on trying to improve. But a group should not silence when bad behavior happens.

If rms is to come back caution must be taken. He must be warned at the smallest mistakes, should not be handled as a never wrong semi-god and be encouraged to know when he hurts people and apologize for that. Otherwise the more people and the free software movement will be hurt.
You need to do more research around said person. Who they married specifically.

Fortran is a fully-vectorized and parallelized language at all levels, from instructions to shared and distributed parallelism (corresponding to one-sided MPI communications). This has been the case for at least 3 decades if not more. There are mature GPU support for Fortran. NVIDIA and PGI are currently implementing the standard parallel features of Fortran via GPUs.
have you considered using "test_refresh__failure" instead? makes clear "refresh" is the component being tested and "failure" is a description of the behavior
Oh, sure. But does that different document exist?
> Does anybody else find it a little scary to comment on this topic in case they get called out and targeted as well?

Honestly? No.

And the problem with the numbers in that poll is that there is no reason to think that all those people assign the same meaning to the words. Everyone's in favor of "free speech," but can they articulate a nuanced definition of it and the effects on society of that definition?
Both of your claims are incorrect, at least in the US. A work must pass a certain level of creative expression to be eligible for copyright and collections of plain facts, e.g a phone book are famously not copyrightable.
Well, it means supporting the exclusion of every person that feels alienated by Stallman's behavior and publicly stated views. For as long as Stallman's alive.

Irrespective of any moral or ethical concerns, keeping Stallman doesn't seem very pragmatic and forward-looking for an organization that is hurting for young blood anyway.

A leader should be able to recognize when he's driving people away, and act accordingly.
I'm disappointed that they don't support LTE Band 48.
Band 48 (CBRS) provides a relatively easy way to run your own LTE network for testing or whatever.

Commercial eNBs are sub $1k, and you can spin up an open source EPC in an evening, config your own SIM cards, etc.
Then the 0.3.6 version was released, and we could update because the license isn't much of a problem in this case.

Alternatively we could have continuee to deploy for a few more days until Rails core shipped a new version of Active Storage without that dependency.

It's effectively the same as vendoring, except we're not blowing up our repositories with 10 years of dependencies.

>Would it make sense to move the power delivery stuff to a separate, longer-lived part?

Likely no, the voltage regulation is already hard being that close to the chips and memory. A modern vrm for rtx 3090 is 16 phase by 70A stage. The gpus already have multiple power pins and with so high amps the losses in the conductor become non-trivial, hence voltage regulation is even more difficult.

Moving it farther away would make the regulation extremely conservative, overshooting and delivering too high voltage.

Even if all that happens GPUs would still require massive amounts of filtering caps.
I think this suggests it is high time we set up a third party chrome extension library not run by Google for use in non-google-shipped chrome-based browsers (Vivaldi, Brave, Chromium, etc)

Why Windows gets all the hate, and why I still prefer to use it
Yeah, I have casually looked towards San Antonio and even Waco. The problem with the "look where nobody's looking yet" angle is that you're potentially just kicking the can down the road. In 10 years when "the market catches up" it'll be back to square one. Perhaps you'll have equity by that point, but that'll be the only difference.

This is a MVP for the CBT app. I have observed a rise in my general depression and anxiety due to pandemic. And as it happens we experience depression, anxiety and anger from moment to moment. Instead of making it a disorder, it should be classified something like exercise. The step by step approach of exercising your mind to overcome the undesirable feelings. The negative distortions are part of us since the beginning of time. They helped us survive in the jungle so they are here to stay. What changed is our environment from dangerous jungle life to Instagram social wars and Sugar advertisements. I want to build an app which works like a google map for mind.

And also it's only built for web at the moment. I want to focus on the algos and scoring and the UX of the app.

The present version only contains the evaluation sessions which are recommended to be taken once a week. The therapy program for depression, anxiety and anger will be launched in coming weeks.

The evaluation sessions are taken the Feeling great book by Dr. David Burns. There are many CBT books out there which are an inspiration for this app. Mind over Mood is a prominent one among all the books for CBT.

I want to build the app with science/research backed techniques rather than just mood journaling. I want this app to be a replacement for therapist, atleast for day-to-day negative feelings we face.

1. NextJS
2. Firebase
3. ChakraUI

Please comment any feedback about the app.
Last time we looked, they charged per seat for Terraform Cloud. Quickly became too expensive.
So what source do we trust on the numbers?

Satellite imagery is likely the best way to estimate.

The massive crowds in slow march peaceful protest videos I saw were astonishing.

However if we extrapolate that not everyone who'd support it or are silently supporting it - what % of people available to protest/march were out?

Edit to add: downvoting a question asking for trustworthy, quantifiable sources - you're failing.
> The $ and @ that folks complain about are pretty handy tools to convey what the variable holds.

It doesn't convey much. $scalar or @array, that's all. An array is always an array of scalars. Scalar can be almost anything: any kind of number, a string, a reference (often a reference to... an array or a hash, since you can't have arrays of arrays or array of hashes, only arrays of scalars).
I kind of wonder about the opposite. Back in the 90's when open source really took off, open source projects were useful things like Linux, MySQL and GCC: open alternatives to commercial software. Now that open source has become "important", though, we see more and more things like Spring and Angular: idiotic useless "frameworks" that seem to exist solely for the sake of existing and padding resumes.
> Would it make sense to move the power delivery stuff to a separate, longer-lived part?

That's what your computer's power supply is: A long-lived part that delivers bulk 12V power to be regulated down to local voltages on the spot.

High performance parts will always need local voltage regulation. The VRMs must be physically close to the chip to provide a low inductance path to serve fast current transients. Moving the VRMs too far away from the chip would compromise the power delivery. Running the power through wires or connector pins is significantly worse than running through broad power planes embedded in the PCB.

At these speeds, designers spend a lot of time simulating and analyzing the power delivery network on these PCBs. The power regulation and delivery is fine tuned to support the high speeds required. You can search for "Power Delivery Network Analysis" if you want to learn more.
Oh I remember the old Joyent website. It had a great design, I visited it pretty much everyday just for the design and the illustrations. Then, one day it became corporatish and soulless and a great corner of the internet lost its beauty.
Pretty much, and now if they fire her they open themselves up to a potential media hit piece about how they're transphobic. Really put themselves in a shitty position, didn't they?
Yep.

MOST technology knowledge involves a good deal of tacit knowledge which an only be transmitted person-to-person in an intern/mentor/supervisor mode.

So simpler tasks that have zero barriers-to-entry for automation can be done without this. But for more complex stuff, not so much. This is the same for B2B sales - that will ALWAYS be person-to-person - it simply can't work via e-commerce like selling books or CDs on Amazon.
I don’t mind being called a crazy person, as long as we make damn sure that all options to enslave people (even “a little bit”) stay permanently off the table.

Just in case!
Telling lies to protect a horrifically abusive pedophile father and a pedophile husband, just for starters.
> But they insist on "democracy" which is ridiculous, as it didn't happen under the British.

What is your argument here? They did not had democracy before so they should not complain to not have it now? How twisted is that.

Also, I don't think claiming your constitutional right to democracy can be tagged as "ridiculous". Universal suffrage and democratic election are parts of the "Basic law", the equivalent of the constitution, that the PRC signed as part of the handover "deal".

> Change My Mind, LLC. is offering to purchase Facebook for its current market value, which as of March 2021 was approximately $360B.

> Once wrested from complacent company administrators ... the site can be managed more prudently and in the interests of its users.
Sure it can. But that's not the protesters' rhetoric.
This is way more nuanced than a HN comment could ever express, but my opinion is that this situation is a two-way street. The people moving in need to adapt to the neighborhood while the long-term residents need to adapt to the changes happening around them. The key though is that it needs to be a smooth, fluid transition that involves gives and takes on both sides.

I don't think calling the cops and asking them to "shut it down" is a productive way for driving change in the community at all.

Also, completely selfishly, those kinds of actions give the gentrifiers who respect the Tejano community and traditions a bad rap. I really don't want to get to a point where all the long-term residents paint all the newcomers with a broad brush because of the Weaver people. At the beginning of Covid, newcomers were helping elderly long-term residents and vice-versa, but if crap like this keeps happening, those bonds are going to be strained.
I remember seeing some older video cards, and they actually had removable video memory in some slots on the card itself
Oh, your understanding of what "passionate" means in English is perfect.

"Passionate" has nothing to do with taking satisfaction in performing an interesting job well and being fairly compensated for your efforts and having some appreciation for the opportunities you are given.

It has everything to do with feeling such strong emotions about something that you make decisions guided by emotion rather than logic.

Although I suspect the never ending abuse of the word will eventually change the meaning to actually mean "moderately enthusiastic about and interested in".

Sort of like how in English "awesome" has been degraded from "that inspires both fear and wonder that I do not normally experience" to "that pleases me somewhat".

So where is the nightmare? I was expecting at least some analysis on why this is a bad thing.
The UN is a diplomatic organization - not a ruling body - by design. Don't blame the turtle for not having wings.

I think anyone who studies the events that led up to the first world war - can immediately understand why that confusion that needlessly escalated the war - could have been easily avoided.

It was for that reason that the original League of Nations was created. It's purpose was to ensure that diplomacy happened in a formal setting, in person, and in one location. No more cables/wires/missed calls, and all the crazy miscommunications you wouldn't believe hand a major hand in starting WWI.

After WWI part 2 (WWII), the nuclear powers decided to try again and formed the United Nations. With much the same goal, they also added the Security Council which provided a very small group, with some semblance of coordination to help prevent an unintentional WWIII.

If you want a one-world-government - ok, go ahead and advocate that.

Yeah there are ways to get cards, and I'm not gonna fault anyone for interacting with the laws of supply and demand, but it seems a bit disingenuous to heap praise and declare loyalty to MicroCenter for this. A scalper 5 minutes ahead of you would have been given the same "deal" and that card would have been on ebay within the hour and mining ETH inside of a week, just like the rest of that store's inventory.
All the Destroyers listed in the article definitely have 1 or 2 CIWS on board. I'm confident that would do the trick -- having seen them in action.

Additionally, each of those Destroyers have 7 (if I recall correctly) .50 caliber machine gun mounts around the perimeter of the ship, which could also probably handle the drones.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but wouldn't you buy more data if you have reached your cap? It is probably be expensive, but if it is chargeable to your client or work, it might work out.
To clarify, 4G modem modules (like the one in PinePhone) are usually based on stripped down smartphone SoCs, running Linux on ARM + a huge multi-milion lines FW blobs running on some DSP, that's actually implementing most of the functionality you expect from the modem.

So what this means is that PinePhone is basically a smartphone withing smartphone, and what's opensourced is the Linux kernel running on the modem's SoC. It's very nice, and allows you some more control (now you get two Linux capable SoCs in one phone that you can fully use for whatever you want, which is quite interesting!), but the actual modem part is as blobby and impenetrable as ever.
> downloading songs and movies on my ipad when I have wifi has saved me a lot of GBs.

This is an underrated advantage that the Apple ecosystem provides. I have a 2011 Mac mini and swapped out the hard drive for a 2TB SSD. I just keep everything downloaded on it and buy/download new stuff when wifi is around. At all other times, networking is turned off.

It connects to hotel TVs etc via standard HDMI. It has an IR port, so it can be controlled via remote.

The DRM'ed stuff has to reauthorize every month or two. It's a very low-bandwidth operation that takes about 20-30 seconds (and reauthorizes all your content). I share internet from my phone and a two-bar, no LTE connection is more than enough.

I even have the original box it came in, so I don't worry about damaging it when moving around.

According to the documentation (https://docs.github.com/en/developers/overview/secret-scanni...), secret issuers specify a regex that can detect secrets they've issued. "Be as precise as possible, because this will reduce the number of false positives" - that's the guideline from GitHub. Github runs the regex on every commit that is uploaded and informs the secret provider when a match occurs.
