What’s really sad about this (and other open source devs with pressure from users) is the lack of support _from the users_.
Open source should be about being able to dive in and add the wishlist item you have. A lot of people put up this wall that only changes can be made by the author, proliferating this onslaught of requests from the user and in the end burning out the author.

If you manage an open source project, you owe it to yourself to make it clear how other devs can contribute and add features they want to see. Don’t be the choke point. Open it up. That’s the whole point. Make it clear how a user can add to the codebase and encourage them to do so.
Tiny particles power chemical reactions
I'm not sure I follow your model of IP networking, but the problem boils down this:

In live networks, you don't always know which device presents your last-hop routable address to the public network, so it is not clear who can authoritatively answer the whatismyip question.

You can get an instantaneously-correct answer (i.e. correct in the instant, not necessarily quickly-answered) from an empirical test, but you need to choose an known (and trusted) entity on the public network to query. Querying multiple different entities might very well get you multiple different answers, depending on how your packets are routed and manipulated before they reach the public network.

And in all cases, there is no guarantee that your public address will be stable over time or location.
I’m a fan of right to repair, but I think it’s odd to include privacy / data breech concerns as an advocacy point. Operationalizing right to repair typically means making software more interoperable and sharing access information with third parties, which probably isn’t great for privacy / data security. This was the main tack that auto companies took when fighting a recent MA ballot initiative (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Massachusetts_Question_...), and there could be at least some truth to it.
I bet the number one feature most of these farmers want is the ability to defeat emissions controls so they don't have to use DEF (diesel exhaust fluid).

Don't believe me? Go watch some farmers on Youtube and it won't take long to pick up the hatred for government interference. I don't know if it's selection or survivorship bias or what, but farmers really do not like being told what to do by someone else.
I also fear that due to the extreme "politification" of everything the narratives that survive might not be accurate. But oh well, "the victors write history" I guess.
The Case for Parking Reform
Speech and language transcription and translation has gone a very long way. Still not perfect but almost at human level in some instances.
In fact, i mostly work 35h/w while collecting the additional vacations. I still have crunch time before deliverables so I guess its evens out over the year.

But yeah, i wonder how people survive without at least 5 week/year. So much stuff to do and so little time :(
Precisely. They would leave this "toxic" place behind and go somewhere they feel warm and cozy.
I don't think they scramble jets on Taiwan, no. But every time a news report comes out about Chinese jets representing escalating aggression towards Taiwan, that is the boundary they are actually talking about.
I sent in a laptop once to Best Buy that came back with a smaller hard drive. I think it is likely that a local employee swapped it before sending it into the real repair facility.
It allows you to connect developer tools to a nodejs instance as if that nodejs instance was running in your browser.

On the firefox side there is node-firefox that should accomplish the job. That hasn't been updated in like 5 years, so who knows if it actually works.
I personally use Darktable to process my raw photos for some time. While I didn't use Lightroom for any considerable amount of time, I've found that Darktable can process relatively modern raw files (A7III in my case) easily and with pretty high quality.

What are you missing especially? It answered all my needs so far.

For some examples you can see https://www.flickr.com/photos/zerocoder/ . Some are not processed with Darktable, but all EXIF is intact, so you can check for yourself.
How is the fact that he is a "front line worker" relevant? (asking as someone who has also spent time on the COVID "front lines")
That we let Intel turn ecc into a premium feature to support market segmentation for a generation, and completely ignored data integrity in our storage systems while disk capacities reached terabytes was definitely a bad thing, and that’s on us as an industry.

Python Community Interview with Sebastián Ramírez
"Expert Systems" that could diagnose and treat disease were technically successful in the 1970, see

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycin

This technology never made it to market because of various barriers; at that time you didn't have computer terminals in a hospital or medical practice.

Docs want to keep their feeling of autonomy despite much medical knowledge being rote memorization and rule-based.

The vanguard of medicine is "patient centered" and tries to feed back statistics to help in decisions like "what pill do I prescribe this patient for high blood pressure?" -- the kind of 'reasoning with uncertainty' that an A.I. can do better than you.

As for radiology the problem is that images are limited in what they can resolve. Tumors can hide in the twisty passages of the abdomen and imaging by MRI is frequently inconclusive in common sorts of pain such as back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, neck pain and ass pain.
My personal opinion is lowering costs needs to be given a far higher priority than redistributing wealth.

If we could radically lower the costs of health care and education in the US, for example, that would do far more for rising the standard of living than taxing and redistributing wealth.
There's also the issue that it takes longer to climb to a higher position (even an entire generation), and the US was much less diverse a few decades ago. The "Hidden in plain sight" study the article cites [1] says executives are 80% white. While the US is currently 63.7% non-Hispanic white, that number was 80% as recently as 1980. It seems reasonable to expect a 40-year lag between arriving to a country, and reaching the highest corporate positions.

The article is frankly deceptive. The US is 4.9% Asian and 63.7% white. The study [1] found that executives in the tech companies examined are 13.9% Asian and 80.3% white. So Asians are 2.25-times as likely to reach an executive position compared to whites. But by comparing against their over-represented numbers among tech workers, the article spins this as discrimination. Look how they phrased it:

Another study, from 2013, found that while there were nearly as many Asian professionals as white professionals working at five big tech companies [..], white men and women were 154 percent more likely to be an executive than their Asian counterparts;

There were "nearly as many Asians as whites" in a company, but there are 13-times as many whites as Asians in the US! This is presented as a completely neutral, non-problematic fact, and that this over-representation doesn't reach even further is what was cast as the problem.

If they knew of his fanaticism, why did they not cut him off and discharge him before he got access to a frigging rocket launcher.

Something fucked up bad, and it's not just this nut job.
True. I was internalizing "no new need" as hyperbole because it didn't make sense (given the reality of medical) but that's my mistake.

On re-reading, a highly specialized and entrenched workforce having a 30% uptake on a new technology in only a few years seems phenomenal.
Unfortunately doctors are a lot less prevalent in a lot of developing countries, especially in subsaharan Africa. If an AI can do a third of the things that a doctor can do, that means that many more people can be treated. In the US, it just means that the appointments can be cheaper. So the developing countries have a lot more to gain from things like AI. The US and other developed countries should be doing more to help the situation, including training and paying doctors to work in those countries, but AI can potentially save a lot of lives there in the meantime.

Of course, AI can only save lives if it works reliably, which doesn’t seems to be the case yet, but that hopefully can be overcome.
I assume the thinking was somewhat broader than that (fishermen only have 10,000 votes between them).

I assume that people understood their town's local economy would be uplifted by a renewed fishing industry.

Of course, that was never a real possibility.
Talk to teachers from the grade below, think about what hasn't worked well in your class the last few years, think about how your school district might differ from that of the lesson plan you're modifying.

For example, maybe you need to modify some take home science experiments because your kids tend not to have easy access to the right materials. Or, maybe the elementary school math program is more advanced than average, so as a middle school teacher you need to modify any standard lesson plan so you're not repeating material the kids already know. Or, maybe as a Spanish teacher you need to figure out how to effectively deal with a class where usually half the kids are children of immigrants and already close to fluent. Or, maybe as a history teacher you have an assignment the kids used to love where they make a Facebook profile of a historical figure, but now most kids aren't using Facebook anymore and the assignment isn't really engaging them. Or, maybe your town has some historical sites that you'd like to make field trips to, so you want to add some lessons to give some specific context around them. Or, maybe as a P.E. teacher the gym is being renovated and you're gonna have to work around that. Or, maybe a local private school just closed and you're expecting to get a bunch of its students in your class next year. Or, maybe a lot of your kids can't afford TI-84s but the school FINALLY got funding to purchase enough for the whole class. etc. etc. etc.
Outside of the claims in this article, why is PETA horrible?

It's been a big adjustment to me switching all my recreational programming over to Common Lisp. In the CL community, it's not uncommon for a widely used library to not have been updated in 5-10 years. In any other language community, that would mean unmaintained, bitrotted, unusable. In the CL community, it usually means it's finished, and doesn't need any more changes.
They aren't comparable in technology (lots of farmers want GPS, auto steer, etc) and they definitely don't compete on size and power. Kubota tops out around 200 horsepower and Deere offers tractors up into the 600+ range.
Ask HN: What is easy to learn but hard to master?
Tim is advocating "lifestyle design" over hoarding wealth. This is much better for society as a whole.

Also, digital nomads are very very good for local economies. Many countries are starting to realize this and are trying to attract them.

Additionally, the "4 hour work weak" is not literally 4 hours. It's a viral headline he talks about. It just "feels" like 4 hours because of lifestyle design.

This a trash article.
The author has some points I have considered (after wading through the noise). However, her solutions are rather banal and conventional. Capping the work week hours and having universal basic income seems like a nice idea… but I have come to realize they are imperfect substitutes for having the natural abundance of the land become metered. Inequality is inherent to the capitalist system, and socialist systems don’t really address it either.

Instead, I have been working my way through Carol Sanford’s Regenerative Life and learning what that was about. It had taken me a year to realize what “regenerative” was even about: a world view and paradigm of living systems.

It is when people are allowed to be alive, participating in living system, that they can tap into regeneration. It then is no longer about how to equitably distribute resources, but rather, each person and each living system can tap into the regenerative powers of life. You still have to work, but you are no longer treated like a cog in a machine getting the life extracted out from you.

How I am going to exactly implement that in my own life, I don’t know yet. I have a lucrative career writing software for someone else, but with agism, it won’t endure.
exactly. The fence is required even when communicating with a signal handler (or interrupt handler) on the same thread. For for the multithreaded case, depending on the architecture, the compiler barrier is likely not sufficient and an actual hardware #StoreStore fence might be required.

A specular barrier is needed on the reader side.
"Black Lives Matter" is another popular movement based on complete lies (the "systemic racism" conspiracy theory)
This space is very hot right now. This looks amazing. I can't wait to use it.

ToolJet, NocoDB, fabrica.dev are all projects I've found recently in this space.

I've been really thinking a lot about how to bring tools like this to businesses and make them useful. I still think there's a lot of training and material needed to make these ultimately powerful. Love Open Source!
My complaint is that we ignored these lessons for 40 years, not that we are finally beginning to take them seriously now.
This is easily demonstrable to fail.
Amazon, for all intents and purposes, supports the EV revolution, should we oppose it?
The CCP invests massively in PV panel production, should we oppose PV ?
I can find counter examples even from Nazis or the communists.

I think there is no easy win here. If you even remotely care about an issue, you should do a minimum effort to read about it from multiple sources. e.g. for American politics, I found that the quickest way to gauge where an issue stands is by reading at least CNN and Fox, because they are diametrically opposed, so you can kind of guess where the middle ground is. Reading more neutral and informed pieces could come later on, if I really want to dive in.
I don't know much about the internals of Chromium, but I'd say it's more than a "low effort reskin". Not including the UI changes like vertical tabs and collections, there's also a lot of underlying changes/improvements made like PlayReady support (for e.g. 4K Netflix playback), better scrolling support, tracking protection, Windows-specific improvements, memory/performance improvements, PDF annotation, web capture, etc. Granted, Microsoft are contributing most of these underlying improvements back upstream to the Chromium project, so the gap between them will remain small. Second to Google, Microsoft is the most prolific contributor to the Chromium project, so I think "low effort reskin" is a bit of an undermining to their efforts.

With all of that said, Google is still the gatekeeper, Microsoft's contributions don't really solve the Chromium browser monopoly, and Microsoft is being really scummy with their push for Edge (i.e. Windows and Bing annoyances about it). I'd still prefer to have more independent browser options like Firefox.
The ribbon was radical, but they've refined it into something that's genuinely nice to use.

You can customize every section and it's very easy to pick up, I'm sure if you'd have to spend some time with office nowadays you'd agree. I'd take them over old-style nondescript toolbars by now.
I live in an extremely rural area. The Deere integrations are a huge reason.
Another that's not talked about is Deere field service. It's just DAMN GOOD. If you're running a serious tractor(7-9 series ) and it's the middle of planting/harvest hours can be the difference between red and black margins. Deere will roll out a team with 30ft trailer of parts out in hours if you have an issue. CaseIH will sorta match this, kubota and New Holand will simply not.

I can't think of a single case. Most company websites can barely support the needs of their own organizations, often resulting in employees using SaaS to circumvent IT. Sharing a domain with a totally different corporate entity? Unimaginable. Domains are so cheap, so crucial and burden with so much bureaucracy that it just doesn't make sense.
That's where I bumped into the sequel but couldn't remember the specific tweet. Thanks.
Your math is sound, but I don't agree with all your data inputs. Specifically, that only (the engineered) radio signals would pick the attention of an alien civilization. (In fact, I think that Marconi's or most of the subsequent man generated signals, maybe with exception of nuclear detonations and such, were to faint to be picked up even from within the limits of our own planetary system.) The most obvious clue for presence of life, visible from far away, started with the Great Oxygenation Event. That enough should put Earth on anyone's map, and that happened 2 billions years ago. Achieving 100% of light speed is not possible within our current knowledge, but I assume that 20% should be for non life-carrier spacecraft, which at our galaxy's 200ly diameter gives us a cap of around 1'000 years of travel between most of the intra-galactic destinations. Even with a 10'000 technological head-start, a given civilization can devise a system to achieve galactic oversight. If there's indeed someone out there, with such a head-start, we should assume they're already watched our planet closely and maybe even getting a continuous track of our evolution.

As for "we’ve seen no evidence of anything resembling a Kardashev type civilization in the neighborhood", although you're right, it's hardly useful to think in this frame. The available means that we had so far for observing anything in far away space were and still are pretty limited, for even inert phenomena. I'd say that counting on that to spot something sentient, where things are actively engineered, which may as well include engineering for the appearance itself, is overly optimistic.
The case would still go to the Supreme Court eventually; SCOTUS is relevant here as the court of final appeal for all federal cases.

The facts of the case, as well as Assange's personal obnoxiousness, would probably not be the best choice of a test case if you're looking to protect whistleblowers. Ellsberg is a much more sympathetic defendant.
Because working more hours will never get you to the top of the pyramid. It doesn't scale.

Ferriss got to the point of working 4 hours a week by agressively delegating almost everything about his business. He never would have been able to achieve financial independence just by cranking out more hours.

Pretty cool project to build in 7 weeks! Congratulations! Your lockdown has been way more productive than for some of us.

I'm a founder of Appsmith, which Tooljet mentions in the GitHub project as an inspiration. https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith

We are an Apache 2.0 licensed internal apps builder that's being used by teams in Adobe, IBM, MSFT, Rappi, Swiggy, and 1000's of other companies.

Difference vs. other projects mentioned here:
1. Community edition is free for unlimited users
2. Great developer experience(local development, debugging, & Git sync is coming soon)
3. Pricing model will be usage based and not user based
How did he avoid it?
We're running out of options here. Both Apple and Google are fatally flawed companies. I think I may go back to using a feature phone.
> Where does this money come from? Increasing prices?

Reducing profits for shareholders, increasing prices on the higher end items favoured by high-earning clientele. Keep the soup & salad the same, raise the steak.

The poorer people will skip the guac when it goes from $1 to $2 but richer people will just grumble and pony up. Maybe they just get Frapps for Fridays, but their manager will just grumble. This way the burden can be gently and consensually shifted up bracket.
Ha! yes, I am aware of Crispy Ambulance, the band (good memories of the 80's). But I missed your reference!
I don’t see radiology work decreasing either. Instead, I think it will serve more people but at lower cost per person. No one will skip medical services if they can afford them, but currently prices are high. Imagine a future where a radiologist serves 10x customers as before by leveraging smart technologies, for similar overall compensation.
Good to know. Makes it even more interesting: the event horizon we can't see past.
> If someone is so biased that they become angry at the simple mention of a very abstract philosophical stance like atheism, is it really a good idea to placate them by pretending you are something else?

I'm not sure what you mean by abstract here: does the idea of a very abstract philosophical stance that it has no (or little) effect on other people or the world?
> Someone’s gotta run the hotels and restaurants and laundromats that serve our beloved digital nomads. Someone’s gotta run the coffee shops where they hang out. Someone’s gotta pick up their trash, and grow their food. Someone’s gotta build those mansions and pools.

Yep, this is how capitalism works. It's just a gigantic pyramid scheme, and the object of the game is to climb to the top, even if that means stepping all over other people.
The biggest reason corporations want AI to succeed is so they no longer have to share even a meagre percentage of revenue with you any longer.
Wouldn’t enforcing action be bette than raising rates? The amount of innovation google is stifling with their hand on both sides of the market must be significant at this point, I doubt the online ad market has many new startups in it at this point.
No mention of Binary Behaviors (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/msdn-magazine/2001/...), but I guess these could go in the ActiveX bucket. They are a bit more interesting than plug-ins when you consider where some of the current innovation is happening with front end web development and standards.
Hey! I've been following Budibase too You're doing great too.

I want to do implementations for projects like this and trainings around it. There is so much power in these tools its amazing.

This seems like one of the potential tragedies of the "all volunteer" development model. Many of the factors that play into Brooks's Law apply just as much to volunteer efforts as they do to commercial efforts.

One of them is the cost of communication. My sense is that the overall cost of communication scales in a manner that's more in line with the number of active contributors than it does with the actual volume of communication that they produce. Even the actual time spent communicating may not do so, but the kinds of communication - getting to know new people and new teams, negotiating different and potentially conflicting needs, stuff like that - tend to be more tiring than the communication you get in a stable team of people who have been working together for a while.

But, if you can't make a living doing it, then you probably aren't prepared to contribute more than a very small amount of your time. A large group of people doing that might have an outrageous communication cost relative to its productive output. With the brunt of that being born by the maintainer.

I would imagine that, if we could figure out a better way to enable maintainers to support themselves and their families while also working on their project full time, things might work out better. More time spent programming means less need to negotiate with and review contributions from others, and the work getting done more quickly because it's being done by the person who knows the code best, and the job being both less tiring and less thankless, and possibly leads to higher quality (by virtue of being more coherently designed) software in the long run.
