So the "hostile takeover" narrative was nothing but a smear campaign.

Had staff said "It's come to our attention freenode is owned by a privately owned company, something we can't stand behind. Join us at Libera Chat to participate in a truly community-owned network," everyone would still gladly side with and support them.

Instead, they are portraying someone as a hostile actor when there is no evidence of that. This casualty is dishonest — Christel sought Andrew out for the sale, not the other way around, and Andrew never tried to exert control in 9 years of direct or indirect sponsorship.

If you have evidence to suggest Andrew intentionally tried to gain control before his DNS access was revoked, please let me know as I've been compiling an extensive timeline of events [1].

To be fair, I don't think I've ejected something by dragging it to the trash can in eons (well, at least it was so long ago that I don't remember).
> It's not locked down

You can't run unsigned ARM binaries on M1 Macs. Hell, you can't run un-Notarized apps on any Mac running a recent macOS release without knowing some arcane trick to open them.
> we did make extended efforts to hire junior levels and train them (where we would have not done the same for a white male Swedish candidate)

That's incredibly racist.
Are there any anecdata you noticed in the trends there that you'd care to share?
You are quick to insult people's intellect while spouting western propaganda.

People love to trot out the USSR as a failure, ignoring that a major part of that failure was due to Perestroika and Gorbachev.

As for Cuba, the US has waged terrorist campaign against them for 70ish years. Venezuela has had to deal with US interference and attempted coups as well.

You can't talk about communist/socialist societies and completely ignore the external forces acting against them.
> Countries that are eager to lock up past rulers slide into dictatorship more often.

Are there historical trends that show this? If true, South Korea may be in trouble. Out of the 3 most recent ex-presidents, 2 have been jailed and 1 committed suicide due to bribery charges.
When playing a software instrument via an external hardware controller (typically via MIDI over USB), even a tiny delay from the musician striking a key or a drum pad to the resulting audio out of the speaker can become very problematic for instruments with a very fast attack, where exact timing matters a lot to the performance. Examples include drums and percussion, pianos, many plucked type of sounds. With slow attack sounds like legato strings, extra latency is generally much less of a problem.

Installing an application is even worse. Drag here, long click there. What the hell, just install it
Perhaps not, but you don't have a lot of options on a handlebar. You could drill holes and bolt it I guess. I think they are OK for gravel tracks but if you are taking big bumps it's gonna be an issue, and modern MTB is all about big bumps 'cause we have suspension now <3
Our entire society is set up to push people right to the edge.

The modern work week is ridiculous and everything costs exactly the maximum you would possibly pay for it, or takes exactly the maximum work you would possibly do to get it done.

There's no assistance and it never ends.

I don't know how people with less education/privilege/luck do it.

I feel like I'm right on the edge and I'm relatively rich/well educated, and have no health problems.

It doesn't have to be like this. The 85 Richest People In The World Have As Much Wealth As The 3.5 Billion Poorest. Our elected officials aren't working for the majority.

But it seems that people are too tired from work to make guillotines. Things are working exactly as planned.
I work in that industry; at this point most of the big players are on either ARM SOCs or SHARC, with a few plucky folks basically making x86_64 servers.

Once performance is comparable for the workload, ARM-based synthesizers aren't inherently any more stagnant than DSP-based synths, in the same way that ARM-based tablet apps aren't necessarily stagnant; if anything, the freedom from crappy compiler lock-in, incomprehensible instruction pipelines, assembly code, and (as you say) poor documentation. Moving to ARM, GCC/LLVM support, and (eventually) Linux makes all the things other than making neat sounds (UI, interconnect, networking, power management, etc) easier, so that developers can spend more time on the creative bits.
Being only a 1:1 transfer is itself a problem when you need to send the file to more than one person. There are plenty of cases where you need to send a file to a small group like 4 or 5 people. Worse, this sometimes means you have restrictions like downloading the file one causes it to self destruct, which means if said person clicks the link on his phone then realizes his error and clicks the link on his computer the link will already be dead and you have to re-upload the file.
> I see so many software developers vehemently refuse to notarize their Mac versions.

Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this.

> Notarization is far less egregious and it pains me to see so many straight up refuse to even consider it as an alternative to the iron grip of the App Store.

Notarization requires developers to pay Apple $100 every year if they want to notarize their software.

But on another side after checking few flashcards it seems you will turn into an AWS Marketing Parrot, more than really learning skills

I have a feeling that's partly the intent of the whole certifications program. I'm someone who has no use for AWS (nor interest in any cloud stuff, really) and has never even looked at any of their services in detail, but was once challenged to try one of their practice exams, and recall getting about 75% of the questions right simply by educated guessing with a perspective of "which of these answers seems to make sense and would make the most $$$ for Amazon?"

If you're willing to self host then the problem is pretty much solved. Most people aren't technical enough to pull this off unfortunately.
Here's what I tell those who question projects like these: By designing and implementing a game engine or a compiler or a microkernel, you become the sort of person who can do those things, and you become the sort of person who can do all the things that they entail. The product is not the software but the mind that makes it.

I don't think any of this was planned. I think it's an emergent phenomenon.
I'm not Andrew and I welcome an unbiased party to verify my identity.

The issue is that they're completely within their rights to move to a community-owned network, but they didn't need to paint someone as a hostile actor without evidence of that.

If you do have evidence of Andrew trying to exert any control in any way prior to his long-held access being revoked, I'll openly change my mind. Otherwise, read my other posts for why I think it's disingenuous to shape the narrative like that.

> All you will ultimately end up with is the freenode name and database of people's registration emails. Was it worth it?

Exactly, it makes no sense for someone who's been sponsoring the project for 9 years to up and try to kill it all of a sudden.
I'm a Googler, and while that might be true at another place, unfortunately this is not true at Google. Refactoring/Tech Debt/Eng Excellence work will not get you promoted pass L4 for the majority of teams. In some team, it will get you to L5, but that's rare. Getting to L6 based on "1 yr refactor" is... simply extraordinary. I haven't seen or heard of one case in 7 years here.

It's been like this since long before the App Store existed. Google's got a pretty good attempt at "here is how to install this thing" on their download page (https://www.google.com/chrome/thank-you.html?statcb=0&instal...) though evidently it could use some improvement given that Little Sister still couldn't parse those images properly.

I do wonder how "intuitive" the process for installing something a Windows user downloaded outside of their app store is now. I've been a Mac girl ever since I gave up on the Amiga so I really have no idea how easy it is for someone to fuck up if you're at the same level of general computer knowledge + OS-specific knowledge as Little Sister is for Macs.
Amazon didn't produce Fleabag, they just have international rights.
Interesting that this is downvoted without a reply. I guess people have conclusive evidence that a foreign country didn't just attack China? Feel free to share/link it if you do.

HN feels like the same kind of echo chamber that would have attacked me for saying not to invade Iraq in the early 2000s... Anything our historically dishonest intelligence agencies imply about foreign countries is eaten up like gospel truth without any skepticism.
Seeing how much widespread PrEP (daily pill to prevent getting HIV) usage has led to an increased amount of unsafe sex makes me worry about the next 'HIV'. Too many young people, specifically gay males, think as long as they are safe from HIV, they are safe enough. Unfortunately other STDs can have serious side effects, and in the long term can mutate into something more deadly.

That being said, progress towards an HIV vaccine will clearly lead to less deaths than an increased amount of unsafe sex, and remains a noble goal. I just hope we as humanity can develop cures quicker than we can breed viruses. Watching covid varriants pop up worries me, but perhaps a quicker to production mRNA vaccine will allow us to remain ahead of it.
The thing I've gather from this whole thread is that I made the right decision by choosing a functional, immutable language.

Well, this is your chance then, buy a domain name and set up your website, shows us how much better you can do it, or, you know, just shut up.

Existential type syntax ("forSome") also got removed for the same reason. I still think it's better to build a sound typesystem than having a bad foundation with some extra features.
when I lived in Granada, to travel to Madrid was either 6-7 hours by slow train, or 1 hr by bus to Malaga then 2.5 hrs by fast train, or... 5 hours by first class bus service directly from Granada. The first class bus included food and what seemed to be unlimited beer and wine for like 30 euro. No comparison. This is my favorite option for point to point travel in Iberia if there is no fast train nearby.
I'm not writing code anymore for work, but I think engineers being replaced by the GPT-3 of coding is inevitable and happening, and ever-more-granular observability of (human) developers is just part of that process.

So you can run to a less anti-human org, but eventually we as a society are going to have to decide if humans deserve any dignity/freedom at all.
The Boys? Invincible? Fleabag? Transparent? Marvelous Mrs. Maisel? The Expanse?

I disagree with your premise entirely. I see them trying to unseat HBO as the resource for all the pop culture shows you remember twenty years from now.

I definitely believe them to be bolder than Netflix for their breadth of original libraries.

That might be a little bold, but that’s what I see them trying to do.

If you had to do this on Linux to run software that wasn't notarized by Red Hat, HN posters would write about how unfriendly and developer hostile Linux is.

You can definitely ride offroad on the old style mountain bikes. I used to ride a department store bike ($200 job) on the tracks in a national park and had a blast, and it teaches you good riding habits as well. On a full suspension bike you can make all kinds of mistakes and they will be covered but on a rigid or hardtail you pay for those mistakes more dearly.

I ride a full suspension trail bike these days. It's really comfortable and I can go on much longer rides and hit all kinds of gnarly terrain. But I still like to get scrappy on my old hardtail sometimes :)
Humanity has had lots of very unsafe sex for the last one million years and survived just fine. The risks are more to the individual than the species as a whole.

It really depends on your local trails. I used to ride a hardtail with 100mm up front, and it just was not fun at all on my local trails, which are mostly very rough rock. Paint shaker.

I see a few guys riding full rigid, but they are generally either exceptionally talented or relish Type 2 fun.
They are definitely not optimizing for developers.

BUT when developers complain about apple "hoovering" up data I laugh. I mean, is this a joke? App developers are at the forefont of privacy protection? When I'm on my PC browsing the web and that game site wants to install that browser toolbar they are looking out for me?

The problem is - as I said, developers have almost no credibility anymore.

Seriously loot boxes, pay to win etc etc.

Apple has realized that doing something quasi right by their users means they can charge big premiums and a lot more. So they are going to rake in the cash on that basis - fantastic.
You might be looking for a data catalog.

It make sense for a startup to heavily reward employees capable of "heroic" efforts because the company might not be there next week if the MVP doesn't ship.

But for a company like Google, nowhere near an existential threat, it makes sense to prioritize long term players capable of delivering for years.
Single-word addresses? I presume you main domain names with only one domain label (like “localhost”). Read the grammar again, they’re supported.

> it also assumes you've already parsed out the "real" address from the rest of the text field, which to me makes it a half-validator at most

I’m confused. The explicit purpose of this stuff is to validate an email address. Not to extract an email address from a freeform text field, which I think is what you’re talking about. Deciding how to do that is a whole ’nother can of worms.

From that link: "Across the industrialized modern world, clinical depression has reached epidemic proportions, despite a staggering increase in the use of antidepressant medication. In fact, depression is now the single leading cause of work-related disability for adults under 50. However, there is strong evidence that depression can be both prevented and treated through a set of straightforward changes in lifestyle.

"Deadly Psychiatry and Organised Denial" by Peter C. Gotzsche
https://www.amazon.com/Deadly-Psychiatry-Organised-Denial-Go...

From that blurb: "DEADLY PSYCHIATRY AND ORGANISED DENIAL explains in evidence-based detail why the way we currently use psychiatric drugs does far more harm than good. Professor, Doctor of Medical Science, Peter C. Gøtzsche documents that psychiatric drugs kill more than half a million people every year among those aged 65 and above in the United States and Europe. This makes psychiatric drugs the third leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer. Gøtzsche explains that we could reduce our current usage of psychotropic drugs by 98% and at the same time improve patients' mental and physical health and survival. It can be difficult, however, to come off the drugs, as many people become dependent on them. As the withdrawal symptoms can be severe, long-lasting and even dangerous, slow tapering is usually necessary. In his book, Gøtzsche debunks the many myths that leading psychiatrists - very often on drug industry payroll - have created and nurtured over decades in order to conceal the fact that biological psychiatry has generally been a failure. Biological psychiatry sees drugs as the "solution" for virtually all problems, in marked contrast to the patients' views. Most patients don't respond to the drugs they receive but, unfortunately, the psychiatrists' frustrations over the lack of progress often lead to more diagnoses, more drugs and higher doses, harming the patients further."

Right, but `--dry-run` is just a dry run mode, right? You have to sort of post-process it to create a plan.

I feel like the context for this comment thread was lost. Just to repeat it to forestall any further discussion in this subthread on non-plan dry-run, this is how I saw it:

* Igor: a good way to do dry run is to make plan

* * Me: first time i have seen 'plan' as explicit step for dry-run is with Terraform

* * * fickle: rsync is where i first encounter it [it here is not plan, it is dry-run]

* * * * me: really? rsync has 'plan'?

* * * * * john: rsync has dry-run. read manpage

i.e. Igor and I are talking about explicit plan (which is interesting model) and you guys are talking about dry-run.
You could train a classifier on all neat looking fortresses, then run outputs through the classifier.

Depending on who you ask, the whole ergonomic bar category replaced bar ends.

Sheldon Brown wrote about them:

"These are mountainbike/hybrid bars with built-in bar ends. They weigh less than the handlebars alone on the typical mountain bike or hybrid, and they give lots of hand positions.

The ends sweep forward in a nearly 180 degree curve, and the whole curved area is usable to vary the pressure points on your hands. These are much better than staight bars with bolt-on bar ends."
