Everyone loves the free market up the point of monopoly. Same ol story different bizniz. IMHO since the fall of the Wall Conservatives have stopped bothering to justify the free market as providing for all and have adopted Monopoly as a right of the rich. As if they earned their monopoly. The truth is more that government corrupt^M^M^M lobbying, has permitted it.

> RMS did this to himself by being an abrasive asshole

So what? Steve Jobs was celebrated while he shat on people left and right and even denied his own daughter's claims that he's her father for years. Elon Musk publicly called someone else a pedophile and hired specialists(which turned out to be scammers) to dig up dirt against that person. Linus Torvalds is known for being rather unfriendly to a lot of people, yet I haven't seen an open letter against him after he said "Nvidia, fuck you" in front of the camera.

The world is full of assholes. If I have to choose I'll take the one who actually stood for something and gets his claims confirmed more every year rather than another corporate dude whose main skill is hiding that he's the same kind of asshole, just in a more backstabby kind of way.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think RMS is a good choice in any leadership position. However I don't understand the magnitude of the current outrage and don't think it's fully rational. Furthermore, I think without his uncompromising attitude towards Free Software the FSF would not be what it is now.

I've been a Vim user for a long time and still use it today occasionally. VSCode has replaced most applications of Vim for me because of the good out-of-the-box experience for different programming languages.

In VSCode all it typically takes to get started with a new language is to install one or two extensions, click one to three buttons, followed by a restart. Now you got syntax highlighting, auto-completion, go to definition, find all references, build system integration, test runners, debugging support, etc.

You can also get these features in Vim or Emacs, but from my experience it takes a lot longer to setup and integrate properly.

to be honest it's less about the EU being good-natured and more about them being bureaucratic. They didn't move fast enough to secure the contract and then distribute the vaccine quickly. That's 100% on them, but now that they're embarrassed they're trying to make the vaccine look like it was a bad thing anyway. That, and threatening to use protectionism to deny AZ the right to fulfil its contracts.

It's very petulant, in the same way if you deny something to a child they could throw a strop and say "well I didn't want it anyway".
I think that lmilcin was referring to "either use systemd on distribution X or switch to another distribution".

E.g. in Gentoo you can choose to use SystemD or OpenRC, but I think that most other distros don't provide such a choice.
> Apple today announced over 110 of its manufacturing partners around the world are moving to 100 percent renewable energy for their Apple production, with nearly 8 gigawatts of planned clean energy set to come online. Once completed, these commitments will avoid over 15 million metric tons of CO2e annually — the equivalent of taking more than 3.4 million cars off the road each year.

> ... by 2030

Interesting "move", but not necessarily hard to make. Solar is already the cheapest form of power generation (discounting any need for energy storage), and it's "just" 2021. Easy to guess that by 2030, this mandate by Apple will be mostly useless.

For now, though, they can monetize some good PR "karma" by showing the world that they're "powering ahead".

I often thank fate that I don't need to work in a PR department. I would hate this level of BS too much.

> authoritarian regimes that don’t have American interests at heart, are inherently un-American and unworthy of American support

Foreign democracies don’t have American interests at heart. Should we cut trade ties with Germany as a result?

Our power comes from trade. Backing up into ideological autarky would be self defeating. Similarly, asking individual companies to stop trading with countries their competitors may legally trade with is dumb.

Convince your fellow voters to put on sensible, targeted tariffs and sanctions. Or accept that commerce plows wider fields than ideology.

10 Lessons I learned after making $1K as an Indie Hacker
It’s valuable because someone felt it was.

It’s the pet rock of 2021.
I was an avid user of Textmate then jumped to Sublime ages ago and have never looked back. I have all the key commands down with muscle memory and have never found another editor with better rendering quality and latency.

my 4k setup: https://i.imgur.com/yRShjn9.png

While doing a lot of Clojure at Farmlogs I genuinely tried to become an Emacs user, but I have always struggled with the sheer number of key commands. That being said, I love ctrl-e, ctrl-a etc... for day to day on macOS and admire that from Emacs.

Vim is my goto for every cli based editing interaction.

One thing I have never loved about vim/emacs is the fact that there are so many different ways to deal with plugins and configuration that I have never known 'the right way' to do things.

Full blown IDEs have always felt brutal and cumbersome, plus I tend to obsess over the details and prefer applications who use native rendering tools versus things like Java/GTK/Qt/etc...

Sublime has hardly any chrome, so I like that element as well. It has always felt the fastest, too. It will open massive files and scroll them no problem where other editors will struggle.
It's one of those cases where government intervention really would be to the benefit of everyone. If data collection and advertising through TVs or set-top devices was made illegal (or I guess opt-in) then suddenly the pressure on panel manufacturers would be off because they know that their competition can't pad their margins with it either.
.NET is already on its 2nd generation SIMD API, and Intel tried for several years to get one adopted for JavaScript.

So not a first of its kind, and the current version is still too low level, with an higher level API expect for some later version.

I am not familiar enough with BSD, but would it not be a licence breach, when you alter libraries with a BSD licence and redistribute those in a closed-source app?

At least with GPL that would most likely be the case.

If so, regardless of their "accidental tooling removing the copyright notice", they would be violating that copyright.

Also, IANAL.
Running a viral site by yourself is one of the most enjoyable feelings, like you have this big laboratory to play and test out things out with.

And it was quite easy to do back in the early days of the Internet. I ran one such site in the early 2000s, which attracted 30 million page views per month at its peak.

Like the author, I kept trying all kinds of things to monetize it, at the end affiliate programs and google Adsense worked the best.
> You don't need to defend the views (some of which have already been retracted), but you have to accept Stallman as flawed human being.

This (the holding on to his views of 15 years ago, which he has since come to understand are wrong) is a major issue in the modern world IMHO.

That's not to defend Stallman's more recent gaffes, or even those older ones. But it raises a question - we know people can learn, grow and change. At what point does society start to accept that something said online in the past is no longer representative of the living person?

Because if it's "never", we appear to be gearing up for a future where politicians can only be people who have never set a single rhetorical foot wrong, and have been on-message since the day they came of age. And that scares me because such people are probably psychopaths or puritans.

I think the difference that the OP might be getting at is as follows.

The low-cost style bootstrapping would involve low to fully covered with savings personal living expenses for one or two people, and ramping up slowly, prioritizing profitability over growth.

It seems like (I don't know the whole story) in Flow's case, the decision was made to compete on an excellent consumer product. Those are hard to build. The fact that 10mil was wasted _probably_ indicates that they hired very good designers, programmers, etc at market rates to produce world-class work for a consumer product ("better than Asana"). Meaning, the typical bootstrapping to profitability ASAP was not a priority in this case.

However, if you sink that much money into a not very profitable business, after 12 years you might expect _something_ back. Maybe not the VC happy path 10x return, but after so much resources your expectations on return and growth rate etc etc are higher than a low-key bootstraper who might choose small-scale profitability over growth. So yes, it is self-funded, but he basically can't end up with a mom-and-pop style $200k/year niche business after he sunk so much money into it, so he de-facto pushed himself into "expected VC returns" territory.

> Ah, so those employed by proprietary software inherently promote it?

This is how it works, yes. We are complicit in our employers' deeds, whether that's working for a company that does ICE contracts or working for a company that harms people with proprietary software.

> Again, you're inventing purity tests because you've never contributed to the movement and you clearly lack an understanding of the movement's history.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

> The GNU Manifesto and Debian Social Contract are in direct contradiction to your purity test, and the former explicitly discusses the subject at hand.

The GNU Manifesto is far different in aim than the Debian Social Contract, and it doesn't whatsoever encourage proprietary software. It promotes selling software, which isn't the same thing. It criticizes proprietary software at multiple points and insults people who make it:

"Proprietary and secret software is the moral equivalent of runners in a fist fight. Sad to say, the only referee we've got does not seem to object to fights; he just regulates them (“For every ten yards you run, you can fire one shot”). He really ought to break them up, and penalize runners for even trying to fight."

It might be time for a reread.
Heh, if you think that's bad... there's a certain popular "#1 Money Saving Hack", coupon-clipping browser extension (wink wink) that sees everything you buy on practically every major e-commerce site even when you didn't use one of their coupon codes.

And then said browser extension, which promised to never ever sell your data to a third party, got bought out by PayPal for 4 billion USD.

Really makes you think.
+1 to this. A lot of basic text editors have basic string-based autocompletion. Intellisense is way more than that. IntelliJ (atleast PyCharm) excels at this too.

One thing I don't understand about monetizing on the Internet.

I see the author considered ads, tried an affiliate scheme and even did an NFT. But what about plain old, honest to God payment? Couldn't they just put a paragraph of text on the site, "Hey folks, I'm worried about hosting costs, if you find this page useful, please [Donate]", with a button redirecting to Paypal or Stripe or whatever, collect the money and declare it as donations on the IRS form? Why try all these convoluted schemes, instead of giving a straightforward way for people to tip?

They had 50 million views. If 0.01% of these visitors left a dollar, the author would've still come up way ahead over all the crazy schemes, even post-tax.
Doubt there's anyone who literally can't code without a full-fledged IDE. There's just people who are used to certain conveniences, and it would take them longer to write code without them. I don't see anything particularly wrong with that. Most professionals use tools that make their job easier, and might get worse at doing the job without these tools -- but so what?
Interesting idea. It'd likely kill off trolling or low quality comments as there wouldn't be the eyeballs for engagement for dopamine hits to reinforce that level of behaviour.
If someone is determined enough, they just subpoena the VPN and ask for logs. Since a VPN is a single-hop proxy, your real IP is trivially exposed. Even if the VPN provider claims they don't keep logs. There's no way of proving they don't keep logs, and you need to hope the server you connect to is not compromised in some way. And VPN providers are known to use cheap colocation servers/Virtual Private Servers which have questionable security.
Indeed but the operator is useful beyond fprint
I don't think that that's a fair statement. I remember when I was learning Linux and in KDE there was this huge "Developer Tools" section... IDEs, UI designers, documentations tools, etc.

I opened each one of those tools and had absolutely no clue how to use that! Looking at them now, they seems quite easy and similar, but that is only because I know how to program now.

Think about MS Access. It could be said that you don't know how to use relational DBs is you can't write perfect SQL on a napkin, but MS Access is certainly a skill and just because it can make it easier to view/manipulate data doesn't invalidate the need of skill to use the tool.
From the ungated archive [1]:

> Whenever you try to force the real world to do something that can be counted, unintended consequences abound. That’s the subject of two new books about data and statistics: “Counting: How We Use Numbers to Decide What Matters”, by Deborah Stone, which warns of the risks of relying too heavily on numbers, and “The Data Detective”, by Tim Harford, which shows ways of avoiding the pitfalls of a world driven by data.

Data is a powerful feedback mechanism that can enable system gamification; it can also expose it. The evil is extracting unearned value from a system through gamification not the tools employed to do so. I’m looking forward to reading both books.

If it behaved like that, yes, it is a bug that needs to be fixed.

I don't remember that (not saying that it didn't happen, after a quick search I didn't find any filed issue, #18769 could in theory have similar symptoms), but I remember several threads, including LWN article about the existence of the global fallback.
The problem is that your signature is associated to the commit so it does make you vouch for history, and it lives on after your PR is merged. If you're doing a PR there's a chance that you are authenticated so that is what guarantees the changes do come from you and are not modified (your PR software should log all changes to the PR). Worst case your PR itself can be PGP-signed to say "I would like branch XXX currently at commit YYY be merged onto master currently at ZZZ" but I totally agree it would be a heavy process and signing commits does the job
Thanks! Yes, I completely recognize that many users prefer to download a generic configuration file for WireGuard or OpenVPN. In our case we want to support that use case. At the same time encouraging use of our own app allows us to invent to a much greater extent. And mitigate risks.

There are plenty of VPN clients, some by big enterprise-y networking companies, that at least historically have behaved in ways that leaks the user's traffic when interfaces change, on DHCP issues, tunnel disconnections. It's just easier to make our own app and be able to say what it does and doesn't. And that nothing will change tomorrow because of someone else's design decision. :)

> Brute forcing

The attack being discussed is not a brute force attack (or not purely). If the best attack on sha1 was bruteforce than we would still be using it.

> to find `hash(data_1+nonce) == hash(data_0)` differs very little from ``hash(data_1+nonce) < difficulty_level`.

Neither of those are collision attacks (assuming you dont control the data variable). The first is a second pre-image and the second (with equality) would be a normal preimage.

The attack for sha1 under discussion (chosen prefix collision) is finding hash(a+b) == hash(c+d) where you control b and d (but not neccesarily a and c)

> Practically, there are "rainbow tables" for very many combinations of primes and stacked transforms:

I started out with vi and then Vim. When TextMate came out, I became an avid user. I liked how easily I could customize it but then it seemed kind-of abandonware (could be just my own perception) so I moved on to Sublime Text. I played around with others during that time including Visual Studio Code.

All of the editors I've used are great and I don't knock them at all. About two years ago, however, I realized how much I love Vim. It is also easily customizable but most importantly, I just plain feel really productive with it.
We aren't talking about prosecution! We are talking about him facing any consequences whatsoever!

The idea that you don't view that situation as threatening is just so myopic. People who are unstable enough to threaten suicide because of romantic rejection are a danger to others, not just themselves. Ask a woman, literally any woman you know, about whether they would feel safe in that situation.

Depends on the VPN.

ExpressVPN is HK/CCP owned, so I wouldn't worry too much about my privacy being violated for petty copyright infringements (BitTorrent).
This is a big one. Being able to create a tab/window to view custom data would be awesome, like a live HTML preview, OpenGL surface, graph rendered from an open data file, custom image format, etc.

I wouldn't mind the core ST app being so bare bones if the plugin API was more powerful, but unfortunately it is pretty limited in what you can do.
I have more trust in bash than in C. I can enable tracing in bash script and then see how it executed exactly.

IMHO, we should aim for an open standard for the init subsystem instead. For example, I want to implement my init system in Rust, but systemd is blob, which is hard to replace.

Yeah, writers have been kinda screwed. That goes for screenwriters, too, but I think they have actually done a fairly good job of standing up for themselves.

The one relationship that immediately springs to mind, when I think of this type of thing, is Elton John and Bernie Taupin.

I understand that they split up for a while, and that Elton John's music lost its lustre during that period.

Although I like some of Elton John's work, I am not enough of a fan to speak in more than a fairly vague sense. I just remember people complaining about it, when it was happening.

Keith Reid was also given top billing, for Procol Harum. He usually showed up in group photos.

I'm not saying it's illegal, but it's crappy and the stock market has apparently had its say. At least for now.
I agree with you, although, unfortunately, most -- if not all -- engineers I know would respond to this by complaining about how "a human who can understand the 'why'" cannot be automated.
