> Of course they can, they just need to wait till the lease is over.

My property is on a land lease. The term of the lease will literally outlive the owner. Again, consenting adults are allowed to sign papers to come into an agreement that binds both sides. This is nothing weird or nothing new.

The only thing that is a bit unique about HOAs is that there's rarely an easy way out in the agreement, which kind of makes sense since you can't just move the land away. Once large scale teleportation is a thing we'll be able to solve that issue.

Software, music, stocks are things that you can do with what you please, but not if it's on a subscription basis. My definition of ownership really comes down to the inability for others to take away my control over it. In a sense, a mortgaged property is an acceptable risk in that the bank has limited financial control over your house as debt, but anything beyond that and nobody should really be able to tell me to not paint my house blue.

> spoiler: this argument is dead and nobody will ever go back to native apps again

I think in the world of app stores this is a little odd to argue. Native apps on the desktop do seem to be on the way out, but less so on tablet and mobile phone.
r/K selection theory, for the interested:

I deliberately bought quite a limited but good sounding 4W tube amp for bedroom practice (Vox AC4). Having only a handful of easily understood knobs allow me to focus on my playing.

I have had modeler amps in the past, but every so often I'd just nerd away with the dozens of available amp models and the myriads of settings, and come out with the dissatisfied feeling of having just wasted a lot of time instead of engaging with music.

I find modelers have their place when it comes to replacing a set of analogue pedals, which is the reason I traded my three Boss pedals (compression, reverb, delay) for a Boss GT-1000Core. Overkill for my purpose, as I really never use any amp sims, cab sims, of any of the advanced signal chain stuff that the device is capable of. I just have one patch with my three pedals for practice, going into the AC4, occasionally turning the same knobs as on the analogue versions, but enjoying that I now have built-in a tuner as well :-)
This is one of my favorite topics. I agree with it all, except that it is possible to have serendipitous moments through distribution on a platform like Medium. My Medium content is now generally only for companies I work for, but I still get personal emails and invitations for work, podcasts, connections, etc from them. That said, I’d prefer these come from traffic tied to my own blog.
I don't disagree with you and I don't usually watch interviews, I'm interested in the matches not on what players have to say about them.

But ...

I'm with Osaka on this, but she signed a contract and in the current setup there isn't much we can do to change it.

Tickets alone don't pay for the prizes tennis players are getting and if we raise ticket prices, we'd go back to old times when regular people could not afford to watch them live.
It looks like some of the investors have volunteered to become mentors. I suppose they have an incentive to curate eliteness on the mentor list to support their portfolio company. I'm curious how many hours/week of mentoring these investor regularly clock in on the platform (for example, Luc Vincent, Andrew Niklas, Jeff Queisser, Tido Carriero, or Seth Sakamoto).

(In your place, I'd either ignore my prodding or answer with a bland "I'm sorry we don't disclose these numbers to protect the privacy of the mentors", so I wouldn't blame you for dodging my prodding.)

Either way, I think the real issue is that you've done a gone job of explaining the benefits of your service to both mentees and mentors, but the mentees are misled into thinking some of their fee goes somewhere other than your pocket. If you make that clearer to the mentees, I suspect your service would be looked on more kindly, and it would avoid the unflattering comparison to Elsevier elsewhere in the comments.
Ironically VSCode is a great example of a "web app" that does almost all of it's work on disk.

> Bookmarks clearly don't cut it any more

I've developed a strategy for this. I collect bookmarks in various browsers, and every three months or so I export them as raw HTML files, into a folder, where I then manually review each link and decide whether to put the link into a 'notable' category (where only the best links go in there). I then proceed to sub-categorize these notable links into various topics, as you suggested.

I save a lot of chaff type links that seemed important at the time, but after a careful review, I usually discard chaff/low quality type links. I then manually remove the links that were in those browsers and start filling the browser up again with bookmarks, and rinse and repeat this. I sometimes share the links on hackernews/twitter so don't hoard them all to myself ;)

You'd love mine. Fabricated violations. Select residents targeted by obsessed board members. No political signage from one party.

Sidebar: Our HOA restrictions insure that every waterway that feeds from this neighborhood is hopelessly polluted. Lots of HOAs work to achieve that tho.
That is quite an individual thing I think. Personally I can quite easily lose myself in a book, but I struggle to keep my attention on an audio book.
I am absolutely not like this. I smoked a few times in high school >10 years ago, because I'm from a country basically everyone smokes. I didn't have the need or want to have another cigarette after high school because it wasn't as socially acceptable in communities I lived in. So I lost the interest. I never found it hard, nor ever found myself appealed to cigarettes after high school.
Yes; Salt was among the first preservatives discovered and used.

Bacteria landing on salt will quickly find all of their water exiting their insides towards the salt. Life ceases to function sans water.
The great quality of iOS apps is a testament how good native apps really are vs whatever cross-platform nonsense being churned out today en masse.

Thanks, let me clarify my question with a proper example. Let's say I install A-1.0 and A-1.1. Both versions will depend on say a resource file they expect is at /usr/share/A.res

I was thinking that nix would symlink /bin/A -> /nix/store/abcdef-A-1.0/bin/A, and also /usr/share/A.res -> /nix/store/abcdef-A-1.0/usr/share/A.res

So when I'm upgrading to A-1.1, maybe the /bin/A symlink would update a moment before the /usr/share/A.res symlink, which means invoking A at around the same time as the upgrade could pick up the wrong resource.

Do we just try to make sure that binaries know to look for resources relative to their binary-path? Or do we use chroot/containers? Sorry if this is a dumb question :)
I stopped reading at the first sentence:

"It’s a well-established fact that a guitarist’s acumen can be accurately gauged by the size of their pedal board- the more stompboxes, the better the player."

As both a software engineer and a guitarist, I'd say the opposite is true. Or at least truer. You can't do math-rock without a lot of pedals but the hard part is to acquire the chops. A lot of pedals, and production effects generally, quickly become cliches and it's like dropping down a musical black hole. Someone like Hendrix could take a new effect (superset of pedals) and make it work musically brilliantly but most pedal users buy the pedal to get someone else's sound.
I disagree, I much prefer the macOS model. Just because I closed the last window doesn’t mean I don’t wish to open a new one in the same app.

So you don't think that the Grand Slam should be a tennis event, but a tennis and press conference event.

Personally, it strikes me as very weird and even unfair you can be disqualified for something that has nothing to do with playing tennis.
This isn’t the same: download/upload can be used to simulate a file system, but they don’t preserve file identities in exactly the way open/read/write does.
There is lots of good thoughts in your argument, but I disagree with the "should save their information to disk".

This may make sense for technical people with a specific goal, but for most users, they shouldn't care where it is saved, ala dropbox. They just want to access their files. Online, offline, everywhere, that's what they want.
Can confirm. I shifted my sleep in order to wake up 23 hours earlier and now I feel 82% less depressed.

Basic commands in guix are simpler, last I compared them. "guix install", "guix upgrade", etc. These are equivalent to longer guix package commands like "guix package -i" and "guix package -u". I recall nix's package install command being odd, something like "nix-env -ia".

Package names in guix are very consistent, lowercase and hyphen-separated. I recall some nix packages having capital letters in them. It could certainly be confusing.

For declarative user packages, guix has manifests. This is a first class feature. You make a list of packages in a .scm file and apply it, which adds or removes things as needed. With Nix you need to use Home Manager, which isn't part of the main Nix project. A bit of a shame, as this declarative package management is a big selling point, and separating system and user packages lets you have a small system list for fast kernel upgrades and such, while you can keep stuff like icecat in user profile and know that the user package updates may take longer. (especially if there's no substitute and it has to be built)

I think more care is taken to making things simple for the user with guix. What you lose out on is number of things packaged. However, I find guix packages generally have less problems. Nix's mpv package performed worse than guix's with guix being on two generations older hardware (ThinkPad X220T w/ i5 being better than ThinkPad T440p w/ i7). I also ran into strange bugs in some things like pcmanfm. It may be not every package gets much attention and use.

I would say I'm an average user as far as just using my system but not contributing much aside from bug reports.

Note: In all examples I was using each package manager on its home distro, not a foreign distro.
Does anyone else get a weird feeling when generating a uuid to not generate too many because there are only a finite number? Because they are mostly considered unique … I feel like I’m wasting them.

At no point I claimed it was concealed ahead of purchase. It wasn't, it was known.

>Somebody living in an HOA neighborhood might reasonably claim to regret their decision, but it was their decision.

Yeah, it was their decision. They did it, despite hating the idea of joining an HOA. Simply because there were no houses for acceptable prices within a driving distance from the city. That's the complaint. No one is saying "they got tricked into it" or something.
Very interested in the answers. I would guess that most big websites use stored procedures.
Well, first, people are born into a country. Most people aren't born owning a house (and if they are, I don't particularly feel bad for them). Second, most HOAs are actual democracies, not representative democracies like the country.

It's probably a bad idea to become part of an association you don't want to deal with. To continue with the awful government analogies, in an HOA, you're not just a citizen. You're a governor of your state (or part of the senate or whatever you want to use: you are the representative leader of your "state"). So yeah, you're gonna have to be involved. Unless you don't care anyway.

I beg to differ. She is competing in a tennis competition. To do this she should be required to play tennis, and nothing else, not "be in the public eye".
I agree. Lots of studies seem focused on slightly slowing the accumulation of damage in our bodies over time, but this is a battle that can only be lost. Entropy always wins. What we need is tech to repair our bodies. The most promising candidate (in my uneducated opinion) is using gene editing to correct the mutations that accumulate in our genomes.

At it's worst, criticism (of any type) is mere gate keeping. At it's best though, it's intelligent informed contextualization. Which takes real work.

Your odds of finding the latter by randomly sampling the mass opinion is approximately zero. But clearly it has value. So it's a quandary, how do you tear down the institutionalized gate keeping without reducing everything to superficial opinion? How do you find a better way to pull signal out of all that noise?
I'll put my money on advances in high capacity batteries and faster charging.

Changing your whole infrastructure seems very wrong to me. Imagine if there was an issue with one of the substations suppling power to the area or a blackout, your whole public transport is going to shutdown seem like a strategic failure to me.

At least with current EVs you'd still be able to drive or power your home.
But not about ~million victims of that war?
Agreed, I think the "car chase" is the part everyone feels was a bit superfluous and much like it had to tick the formulaic boxes toward the end to make box office. But if you make those concessions to form it's a picture with some great moments and definitely a story worth telling. Maybe especially for me as a German citizen, and then watching the original Tagesschau clip (the news hour the footage surfaced in) after getting home from theaters, it really resonated a lot.

1987 - I liked it, but I'd say it was more on the nose and lacks Song Kang-ho's acting chops :). Still, around the time I watched it I often worked from a café across from gates of Yonsei Univ., which figure prominently in this real-world tale so it still had an impact on me.

The other movie I really liked that's loosely connected to the era and the student uprisings was "Sunny". The comedy-drama tone of that one is a super close match to some German films processing the end of the East German regime and I felt really connected to that film.
Similarly w.r.t racing - I have no problem with press conferences, but a mandatory press conference isn't really any good. The only time that it's worth watching is when they're all in a good mood and there is some banter.

But then again most of what you hear in a press conference is just useless.

Much of this I believe has to do with the absolutely inane rubbish they are asked (sometimes leads to quite funny retorts - but most of the press conference seems to be garbage) - hence you see people in F1 like Kimi so obviously disinterested in the press conference circus.

On a side note, if I recall correctly the Stig, in Top Gear, was not supposed to speak - because I believe Clarkson said "opinions of racing drivers are worthless".

And with people like Lando Norris gaining popularity due to his direct social media interactions - the press circus seems more irrelevant than ever.

This just seems to be a vindictive attempt by traditional media to keep their hold over the coverage ...
People did do it (JsonLogic by your own admission) and similar things (every single Lisp based language every) so if your only argument is "people didn't do it before, therefore it cannot be a good idea" it doesn't work.

The UI only offers a big red X button. You have no idea what it does, until you click it. Maybe it will close a window. Maybe it will close the last window leaving the app running in the background with no UI. Maybe it will quit the app.

In KDE/Gnome/Windows you know what the X buttons does. It closes an instance of an app. If it happens to be the only instance of the app, it will close the app as well. You don't have to babysit the open apps.

For the very few exceptions that an app needs to run in the backround, you will be notified that by pressing X the app will go to the taskbar.

MacOS also has a taskbar for apps that run in the background, but it also has apps running in the background in the dock. It made sense a decade ago with the slow hard drives, now it is just a peril of the past. Similar to the C drive in windows.
Or more accurately, because you didn't say otherwise in the System Preferences.

I especially love when Firefox decides that he really needs to update, and I cannot open any new tab until I do so. Who cares if I am on a crappy connection and the download that I need to finish will take 20 minutes more; it's either restart it or wait until I finish. And that other thing in that tab that I need time to finish but I cannot really save ? Who cares.

no https on the link
It is not necessarily a dumpster fire if one uses something else besides a popular graphical web browser to make the HTTP request and view the text. The "modern" web browser is complicit in creating the dumpster fire. Web developers can provide the inflammable materials, but a "modern" browser that by default auto-loads resources and runs Javascript is required to ignite it. There is no fire unless the right (=wrong) HTTP client is used.

I use a text-only browser and write simple command line "apps" (scripts) to retrieve text from sites like IMDB. It works very well. Opening pages on these sites in a "modern" web browser is an entirely different experience. We cannot ignore the complicity of the "modern" web browser in degrading the "user experience" in cases like this one.
> Well, for one, social media companies don't want you to save stuff locally, because they can't serve ads with local content.

This i do not understand - mobile and web content has easily been monetized for a long time now, why would desktop software be any different?

For example, i use software called RaiDrive for mapping network drives on Windows (https://www.raidrive.com/). In their free version, they show ads on the main app window after you open it.

Why isn't this the norm on desktop - ad supported but free software? Why aren't there ad networks for desktop apps like there are for mobile apps and web content?
I agree. This is the typical text that is used in Economics classes in Brazilian universities. 4 years of that I am very tired of this type of content. No attempt to explain why things came about the way authors think they did; too much reliance on the "agency of the elites" (how could they intentionally stop a country from developing? And why would they do that?). Also, I don't think Brazil is a special example at all. It has a GDP per capita very close to what would be predicted by its human capital. The interesting cases are Chile and Argentina (why one was so successful and the other so miserable in the last decades?).
