I liked seeing the examples of creating a calculator in HyperCard, but I don’t think that Steve Jobs killed it because it was some existential threat to Apple’s profits. Apple gives away its software for free when you buy a Mac, and to my knowledge they don’t make a large fraction of money on selling software licenses.

It’s also completely possible to run your own code today on a Mac, so we would have to believe that Jobs was only out to get the in-house easy to use programming language.

More likely is that Jobs wanted to use work from NextStep for OSX which would mean rewriting HyperCard to work with NextStep, and Apple wasn’t exactly flush with cash when Jobs returned.

One of the commenters notes that there was a clone for NextStep called “HyperSense” which failed to sell. So another possibility here is that HyperCard just wasn’t as popular as we’d want it to be.
Nice thought, but highly unlikely.
Part of the actual answer is buried way down at the bottom, and has nothing to do with the (probably imaginary) Jobs agenda angle:

> Either way, expect no HyperCard (or work-alikes) from Apple. But how about other vendors? What about open-source projects? Nothing there, either. Oh, there is no shortage of attempts. And all of them are failures for the same reason: they insist on being more capable, more complexity-laden than HyperCard. And thus, none of them can readily substitute for it.

That's it, not some conscious agenda by Jobs. A Mac will let you run anything you want, so why has nobody else made something like Hypercard? Why isn't there one for Linux or Windows or as a SPA web app?

Because of the second system effect and the general trend toward gratuitous unnecessary complexity at every level of the stack.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect

The other half of the answer is in my other reply. TL;DR: there are more programmers today than there were back then, but there are orders of magnitude more passive users who aren't "computer people" and just want a gadget that does a few specific things.

Walled gardens primarily service the latter, and do it acceptably well from their perspective. For the former there's Linux, FreeBSD, and commercial "real computer" OSes like MacOS and Windows that will let you run whatever you want with the proper incantations.
> She also forced the British Supreme Court to invent the idea that advice given to her can be unlawful

How did she do that?
The language quoted in the article sounds a bit stronger than that.

"we consider the First Party Sets proposal harmful to the web in its current form... this proposal undermines the concept of origin, and we see origin as a load-bearing structural pillar of web architecture."
Legit, did you read the same article as me? I read another comment here that seemed to be referring to this BBC article as if it wasn't the one linked. Was the link changed?

I think this article is very fair. It does a good job linking to sources where available, and calling out where estimates lack hard sources. They've brought in a variety of experts, and they do mention the claims which might seem unbelievable but are accurate. I've never had much problem with the Reality Check series.
And what about crims who graduate from backpacks to darker misdeeds.

guix is similar but can be used on OSes with a traditional package manager. I personally prefer it.
This assumes Jobs was a particularly petty person.

You might not be able to officially call an election on partial counts, but based on the current vote % and the % remaining, you can be reasonably certain what the outcome will be. For instance, if it's 2-1 against (ie. 66% against, 33% for), and 75% of votes have been counted, then it's almost impossible for remaining votes to change the result. It's the basis on how the AP can call elections before all the votes have been counted, and still be mostly correct.

The Queen is the disabled root user of the constitution. The government are the sudoers.

She doesn’t get to ‘vet’ laws in any meaningful way. She rubber-stamps them. The fact that the armed forces swear an oath of loyalty to the Queen is simply because she is head of state.

Nothing in your comment actually demonstrates politicality.
I understand you, but web technologies are different, because, web technologies are literally the other way around. In the examples I've given, most of the daily, normal users are in the receiving end of the abuse.

Let's dig deeper, with your examples:

Crypto: If you're a normal user, you can be private. If you're criminal, you'll get to cover some of your tracks. The other effects are secondary and indirect.

Anonymous content sharing: If you're a normal user, you can share stuff. I personally share stuff this way in HN. It keeps my cloud accounts tidy. It can be used for other nefarious purposes, but it's effects are again secondary.

Free Speech: It shall also be used by yucky people, so we can improve our civilization, systems and ourselves further. It causes a lot of pain I know, but alas, humans probably need it sometimes to evolve. We're lazy otherwise.

UBI: I think it's a neat idea. I can't think any bad examples, sorry.

Consumer Grade GPUs: I don't think using a country's worth of energy to speculate on something's value is hardly efficient, so I'll pass. However, again its effects are secondary.

In all your examples, the receiving party is narrow. The receiving party's number grows because of secondary effect. However, web technologies bring everything to your home, including exploits and abuse.

It's a big can of worms for 1-click and 0-click exploits. "Oh, the web browser was not on the foreground, how my data is exfiltrated?" yeah, webusb/webbt/webaudio.

Crypto cannot directly harm you, neither GPUs. But I can get into your home and violate your with every privacy right with a couple of little, neat technologies.

Maybe you're right. We shall let these technologies loose and allow everyone to snoop into everyone's devices. That'd be equal and democratic. Maybe exploited people will like it and allow more of it. Like the most recent Facebook breach...

While we're at it, I really like the glow of Cherenkov Radiation. I'd like to build a small, fish-tank sized reactor with lead-glass sides. I won't use the material for any other reasons. If only they let me...
Hypercard was awesome.

90% of that soy goes to feed lifestock, most of the soy eaten in the states or europe is grown there, since the soy grown in those country is generally not suitable for human consumption.
In fairness, even many in the German military believed Chamberlain and Hitler had reached an agreement too. What happened at that time was exceptional to say the least -- I can't see many people holding current royals accountable to such a precedent.
Are you saying MD provides higher sound quality than lossless digital? I find that hard to believe!
This is one of those "$10 for the hammer hit, $49,990 for knowing where to hit it" situations.
It's interesting that you use cigarettes as an example of something there is consensus on, because for years the tobacco companies denied the health effects using the exact same techniques that the oil companies now use with global warming. The reason it seems so clear now is because the government and courts finally took a stance on this issue.

It sounds like a halfway there update, and the 2-to-1 seems notable.

That doesn't justify long options starting with a single dash, as one could have made every option start with two dashes. Sure, `--` is longer than `-`, but typing speed shouldn't matter right?
That’s strange, are you actually compiling packages or the evaluation itself ooms?
Because if the former, you may help it by limiting concurrent builds.
The Queen isn't just the head of the armed forces - they swear an oath of loyalty directly to the Monarch...

Interestingly (to me, anyways) is the oath is made directly to Queen Elizabeth by name, not to the crown in general. And isn't made by officers in the Royal Navy, because the navy wasn't created by act of Parliament, but by royal prerogative, so their fealty is assumed.
That world still exists and many of the users of this site live in it. I program my computer all the time, from scripts all the way up to whole apps and services. I run a company that writes software.

What happened is that computing became popular, vastly increasing the user base, and the majority of these new users didn't want to program any more than the average driver wants to work on the engine of their own car. They just wanted a computer to be a gadget they could use to do specific things: online interaction, spreadsheets, games, word processing, etc.

Is that bad? I don't do anything with my car but drive it (and rarely these days!). Am I missing out on the car experience?

Today's hobbyist computer market is larger than it was back in the good old days. We have an embarrassment of riches from cheap hardware (secondhand laptops that can run Linux are virtually free and there are dozens of <$50 Linux SBCs) to vast quantities of open source software available on aggregators like GitHub. There are vastly more creators than ever before. There are just orders of magnitude more passive casual users than those.
> Not aware of anything out of the box. Nix builds only run on Nix (as they all need dependencies from /nix/store/..., and that is populated by Nix itself), so don't expect to easily run them on Debian without some disgusting home-rolled hacks. You could technically consume binary .debs from Debian within nix derivations (see previous point), but that's ugly.

This is not true and no hacks are needed. Since nix only depends on /nix it can be used in combination with ANY linux OS.

In fact there is an official debian binary for nix:

I wonder if he's read it.
Yes - 100% true. Hence why I am trying to jump ship.
> If you're goal is to make people feel safer, then you need to target the petty stuff that people actually experience.

Idk, if I had anti-tank missiles used in my region (like with the Nordic Biker Wars in the 90ies) or hand grenades like in Sweden more recently, I'd feel a lot less safe than if that doesn't happen but bikes are stolen more frequently. People tend to care more about getting shot, stabbed or blown up than about their transportation being stolen. Policies reflect that, imho with good reason.
I was vegetarian "for the animals" for 12 years as well! But I found that I was a hypocrite towards milk cows and their families and to egg laying hens and their families. So I went vegan.

I found that vegetarian is a weird cultural diet that does not have clear lines, and veganism is a well defined ethical stance (i also dont go to zoos and dont take leather etc.)

No animal will ever be caged up of mistreated "for me". And that feels quite reassuring.

You mention companies again. Please think of it in more basic terms: it's not all about more/higher tech. In case of food I like low text stuff: lentils, tempeh, sweat potato, greens and lots of fruits.
> "had little to no worries"

- As an infant, was evacuated from Greece with his (and his family's) life in grave danger. Spent his childhood mostly estranged from his family

- As a young man, served on a naval ship as part of the campaign to defeat fascist Germany and Japan. At least once helped save his ship's crew from a German bombing attack. Probably faced many other threats to his own life and to his comrades.

- Spent the rest of his life as an ambassador for his family and country, and counsel to his wife whose job it is to ensure the country and Commonwealth continues to function with stability and prosperity, including through political/economic crises, national emergencies, local/global cultural shifts, etc.

- Attended 22,000 official events and delivered 5000 speeches. Was an early advocate for environmentalism and animal welfare. Conceived and headed a youth development organisation for most of his public life.

- Endured family tragedies, relentless media/public scrutiny and criticism, and constant campaign against his family's wealth and role in the political system.

You may not like him. Fine. I didn't care much for him, and I don't hold a great deal of pity for him for the difficulties he and his family have faced.

But "little to no worries" is a giant leap.

I'd definitely prefer a web app to a mobile app.

I'm more concerned with moving the ball forward for the team than I am with feeling good about what I did in the past.

I'd prefer to do it right the first time, but given that, I'd prefer somebody make a fix that is shorter rather than one that is larger.
So I've had a question running around my brain for a while.

Has anyone tried using docker-compose files to deploy direct to separate cloud machines?

By which I mean, given some config with user creds to AWS or Digital Ocean or Hetzner or whatever, running:

dockerless-compose some.address.com up

could spin up servers (ec2 instances, droplets, maybe some kind of hinting in the docker-compose.yml file to show sizes), maybe set up a virtual network if the hosting provider supports it, set network aliases in the /etc/hosts, set some.address.com to be the gatekeeper (the system would need to install SSH on your boxes, but it means that it could set up an ssh authorized key from the gatekeeper box)

And then, maybe it doesn't need to be actual cloud servers. It could be bare metal. It could be chroots. It could even be a single host with docker (a bit pointless, but maybe useful for proving parity with docker-compose)

Essentially, suddenly we have a replacement for the likes of terraform in many organisations. Your local developer setup becomes exactly the same as your production setup.

Am I missing something? Is that where we're headed with this, or would this be a complete nightmare?
But you can't eat pitcher plants, can you?
1. Yup. They were naive.

2. No. That’s the point. They got all the knowledge transfer benefits and we got some tuition money (who cares).

3. You think studying a PhD in physics at MIT or a large CA State institution is gonna be commonplace knowledge? I’m not talking about undergrad or even grad stuff.
I don't have to refuel a bicycle but I still prefer driving.
Yeah, I just added a comment that this is only true if you want to not run Nix on Debian, eg. use Nix builds are pure dpkgs that you install to 'unaware' Debian hosts.
I would say the thinkpad keyboards are far superior to the Mac keyboards. Also the nub is much more usable to those that prefer it over the touchpad.

>I think it’s interesting that you’d blame this family for the horrors of colonialism.

Heres the opening for Patrick Freyne in the Irish Times on the British Monarchy:

"Having a monarchy next door is a little like having a neighbour who’s really into clowns and has daubed their house with clown murals, displays clown dolls in each window and has an insatiable desire to hear about and discuss clown-related news stories. More specifically, for the Irish, it’s like having a neighbour who’s really into clowns and, also, your grandfather was murdered by a clown."

>You call them a symbol, that’s all they are.

Yet swastikas are illegal in Germany. Symbols have meaning and the British monarchy does represent imperialism and colonialism even if it makes British people feel uncomfortable.

I agree with you. There is some mention in the film about regulation and how there would need to be dramatic changes in policy and enforcement but this definitely seemed to be minimised compared with the "eat less fish" recommendation.

However, I think it's really difficult for them to send a message of what we should do for political change. What would they say? It's not like voting has ever caused the kind of substantial, rapid change that is now necessary. Pointing the finger at political parties would have probably hurt their ability to publish the film to get the message out. And they can't go and suggest sabotage of the fishing industry or rioting/revolution, even if those would be the most effective.
Unfortunatly, they mean probably exactly what they said. Look up Carnivore Diet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotrophic_diet#Carnivore_die...
This is classic, low effort, anti union rhetoric that might as well have pulled from the pinkertond themselves. From a brand new account too. Now I'm not saying you're a shill, but Amazon has been spending so much fuck you money against this union drive that I wouldn't be surprised if they're also paying some poor guy in Mumbai to post stuff like this, just like they're doing on Twitter. Why not own your opinions and post from your main account?

Edit to add why a union at Amazon is important, copied from another comment of mine:

If not for the relentless quotas drivers and warehouse workers would be able to effectively use their breaks and lunch time to care for their biological needs. Amazon knowingly continues with their quota system as-is because they know that their employees have nowhere else to go.[0,1] Amazon doesn't care that their employees have no alternatives to defacating in bags and urinating in bottles[2]; only that their staff take their biological waste with them. This tweet was an attempt to reframe the criticism away from the image of a human, crouched down, in the back of an Amazon truck, clutching a bag beneath their butt as they desperately relieve themselves; all so they can meet their delivery quota.[3]
The solution is rather simple and should be easily palatable for all but those whose livelihoods are dependent on the perverted form of socialised-for-the-capitalists capitalism under corpocracy as opposed to social market economies. That solution is industrial democracy in businesses.[4] ID is not perfect, nothing is. However, it would be give the majority of Amazon's employees the freedom to choose whether they want to continue to work themselves at a pace that requires them to use their [trucks, customers lawn, diapers, alleyway] as a rest room or if they should be given the latitude to locate a bathroom along their route.
