I think one of the most significant things about open source is that you're allowed to port it to new platforms. Imagine if you were porting some MIT or GPL open source application from Windows to Linux, and then the original author of an open source library used by the software you were porting told you that they hate Linux and don't want you to port their library to Linux. Are you obligated to do so and therefore give up on making a direct port of the application to Linux?

A lot of people seem to argue that while you're not obligated to follow the developer's request, that it's still proper for them to make an optional request like that. I still think it's improper for the developer to make a request like that without a good reason. Imagine instead that you were the author of that Windows application, you released it as open source in order to guarantee that your code could be used as much as possible, and you specifically chose open source dependencies so that this could happen and that your entire application would be open source. And then you hear years later that your application wasn't ported to a new platform because the developer of one of the dependencies, that you specifically picked because it said it was open source, made a vague request exactly against one of the core benefits of open source. You'd feel like that dependency author misled you by labeling their work as open source.

Packaging the project in the NixOS repository seems to be equivalent to porting it to work in NixOS in the most standard way, and as far as I can tell, there's interest in packaging the project because it's a dependency of Home Assistant, an open source project that people want on NixOS.

I think it's proper for a dependency developer in this situation to make requests to change the presentation of the code (like that NixOS fork and rename the project so users don't ask the original developer for support), but to make a request that potentially blocks an open source dependent program from being ported to another platform is bad.

EDIT: Even weirder, apparently the developer themself added their library as a dependency to the open source Home Assistant project, and now after this they're getting in the way of Home Assistant being ported to other platforms!

>But now that frenk added his code as a dependency, he has the right to transitively make Home Assistant un-packagable on NixOS?

Trackers came before modern DAWs, a tracker used to be a sort of different way to compose music on computers, a sort of different kind of DAW, using a sort of notation, with time scrolling down, instead of to the right. It was popular for making music for early video games, especially when size was a big factor in creating music for computer games. But with the layout and and function you could do unique tricks that are very familiar with early VGM and Demoscene music

That is an unfair comparison. Eggs are subsidized by the USDA in the US which allows overproduction and economies of scale effects (reduction of purchase price), but increases environmental harm (industrial farming).

I went into programming PLCs for industrial applications.

Totally stagnant, backwards industry, were the platform suppliers basically make a living, handing in advances from 20 years ago to the industries suppliers in the walled garden.

Its stressful, every machine developed is a unicum, software reuse is widely not used and often not possible, due to the "lowest common denominator" setting up what can work for a team.

All good programmers leave the field as fast as they can. The others, who cant and are worth the salt, are in eternal fear of the A-day or G-day. The day one of the large valley software companies turns around and says "boo".

They could easily replace the whole infrastructure of used software for all machines involved and install a steam like software market place for industrial controller components. No more "laptop-guy" sitting next to the machine for half a year and "thats normal".

The only thing keeping this industry "alive" is the phobia of the great ones from anything "physical".

I tried to leave, but this job is like a taint on your resume. People will not touch you with a stick, cause normal software companies have usually made bad experiences with the "programmers" leaving industrial automation. There are actually companies who try to lock there programmers in, by teaching them a "unique" bad software development style. I had people explaining git to me as a hot, new thing in 2018, at a company were we suggested it 8 years earlier. Yes, that resistant to change.

In every company you come, you are viewed as a sort of union-busting freak of nature, because that is the only way one could be that "good" at making software. Obviously i must be possible to memorize a million globals, instead of packing them into objects and systematically develop my stuff.

And you have that moment over and over again.

There's a couple of versions of this mentioned. The one used by clinics would fit on that, but it only has medical info. The hardware for the more general purpose one is using a 1TB drive. I assume that's for the Wikipedia + Maps + Literature + Khan Academy content mentioned.
One advantage of commonly known licenses and their legalese is that it allows people who don't speak the same language to still collaborate without talking to each other in their non-native tongues, through understanding and adhering to the legal code. (For commonly used licenses, high quality translations are already available). Bringing natural-language "requests" into the issue nullifies that advantage and denies casual collaboration/use to those who cannot speak the language. (Machine translation, even DeepL, is still not good enough for language pairs with distant syntax structures.)

At this point there are still an number of people who for any reason can’t or don’t want to use a smartphone.

Pushing a 60 year old to understand a completely new paradigm is fine if you are putting the time and energy to assist them until they are proficient, but otherwise they might be better with an old computer and check pages through local wi-fi.

There also enough remote locations where phone connectivity is just bad, and they keep 2G rugged phones around for their main use. In these situation I’d imagine a laptop being easier to use than a second phone just for that.

Could you really pull it off without some data actually missing? Perhaps, but with a big risk of discovery.

On the other hand, perhaps you are right: if you have a well established, highly authorized and maybe a bit isolated crisis intervention plan/team they should be able to initiate preventative lockdown protocols perfectly indistinguishable from the real thing, with only a very small conspiracy knowing that it was started for no good reason.
I was brought up to believe we should aim to save the people least able to save themselves. That we shouldn't make comparative value judgements about human lives in that situation. In the old days they said "women and children first", not "strong, attractive geniuses first".

OP mentioned not “showing up”, not “putting in effort”, not doing homework and disruptiveness as indications that a child is a loser and not worth the resources it would take to make them productive adults. All those things are either signs of a difficult home environment or a learning disability.

There are many good reasons to de-racialize the discussion around US public education. One is that the "white school" trope is increasingly out of date. Instead, we've begun to see "Asian schools" wherever high-performing public high school schools admit students based on standardized testing. The top-ranked high school in the entire US, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, is 65% Asian and 23% white in a county that is 17% Asian and 62% white [0][1]. Stuyvesant High School in New York City, another high-performing public magnet school, is 74% Asian while Asian residents make up just 14% of the city's population [2][3].

In my view, there's a degree to which such lopsided admissions represent a greater Asian American cultural emphasis on education (good) coupled with a marginal standardized test score advantage produced by many hours of after-school test prep (bad). As repeated studies have shown, the advantage of e.g. SAT test prep courses is consistently relatively small, but enough of an edge to matter when you're looking at a ~10% admissions rate [2][4]. Not all applicants have parents who can afford or are aware of the value of such test prep, so it represents an uneven advantage. Crucially, this advantage is not inherently racial, but rather an artifact of culture, parental choice, and socioeconomic background. To mitigate this uneven advantage without completely eliminating merit-based admissions, a blurring filter e.g. random lottery might be applied to the top X% of test scorers.

And there is absolutely value in merit-based admissions. It makes these magnet schools what they are [5]. Despite their distorted demographics, it's what enables schools like Stuyvesant to still function as effective ladders out of poverty for many students:

>What makes these schools so good? The general consensus is the academic rigor. But what’s come out clearly in our interviews with Stuyvesant graduates is something arguably more important: a peer-driven expectation of achievement. What Stuyvesant does is take 3,000 pretty bright kids and put them in a building together. Then magical things happen. They push each other, they strive to be like each other, they learn from each other.

>Nearly all of these kids went to college, often selective ones, and most went on to do well professionally. The poorer students became middle or upper-middle class, and the middle-class students often did better than their parents. And they were happy—most (though not all) felt that Stuyvesant had had a big effect on their lives. For instance, Elizabeth Reid Yee, a white 1985 graduate who grew up poor in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, fully credits Stuyvesant with keeping her from a life of poverty.

No, it's like saying that the measure of whether or not something belongs on HN is whether or not people vote it up. That this article has done as well as it has is all the proof that is necessary that it belongs here.

Consider that, combined with the fact your first comment upstream was flagged, as a pretty strong indicator of what HN thinks about this, though your use of "woke" probably did not help matters either.
Hello, doppelgänger!
That's not the case in the US. There is no federal tax break in the US for "R&D" as far as I'm aware. Companies can deduct all expenses from their income. So there isn't even really a need for a tax break here. All salaries, rent, operational expenses are deducted from the income.

Moreover, many US corporations are effectively encouraged by tax law to go into debt (and always operated under debt), because having a zero effective income means you pay zero taxes. So that's what many companies -- they spend a little bit (or sometime a lot) more than their revenue, and thus report a loss each year (consequently paying zero taxes).

Florida is demanding ideological surveys of faculty within the state. Laws are being passed banning discussion of "CRT" in a variety of institutional levels. I've got a few friends who receive fairly consistent death threats every time they are mentioned by Fox News or equivalents for being "anti-american ivory tower leftists" for teaching courses on police violence or race and gender in medieval europe. One of the authors of the 1619 project had their position changed from a tenured position to a TT position after interference from the board of a public university.

Heck, the Trump administration published "the 1776 project", which was absolutely ahistorical nonsense (no single historian was involved in the project) explicitly designed to shift history curricula towards a specific ideology.
Store of value? A 10m$ painting is easier than 10m$ in cash. Also because they tend to appreciate over time.
But that misses my point; the bug is that as a developer it's too easy to not write the correct check -- like exactly this one.

The library function presented to most developers (especially a novice one) should reflect the most common case, not the more-easy-to-compose case.
I think this is the key quote:

> "The cheaper we make it to pay that ransom, then the more incentives we’re creating for companies to pay, and the more incentives we’re creating for companies to pay, the more incentive we’re creating for criminals to continue," said Josephine Wolff

In an ECON 101 sense, ransomware attackers want to set the price as high as they can such that the victim will pay. A rational victim will consider their tax bill in the cost/benefit calculation. So although giving a tax deduction for ransomware seems like it reduces the burden on the victim, in the long run it just increases the reward for the hacker at the expense of the treasury.
If you gave me one for free I wouldn't live there, they may as well be identical White Houses, or McMansions. I hate neighborhoods made up of dozens of the same floor plan and colors, yet developers keep insisting on that.
I don't think there's a good universal project that you can keep reimplementing in different languages and getting a good grip of the language. In your paricular case, go is more of a general purpose language so anything that involves simple filesystem and network operations(cache, databases, apis and all that) would be fine. In theory rust can do the same things but it's a systems language and trust me, it's not suitable for such things at all: poor ecosystem, the help you will get online is not preally great: what you will commonly get when you hit a wall when playing with something like actix is "this is bad practice" responses without an example of good practices. With that said, I've been playing around with robotics in my spare time lately and even for a beginner, I think this could be a great choice: you can pick up a decent robotics kit for 20-ish bucks and a raspbberry pi and you will have tons and tons of fun, even if you've never touched rust before in your life. And even if you have, it's still tons of fun.

As the FBI stated, each incident should be reported. If 80% of them go under the radar it would only make it harder to stop ransomware groups. Also, I think unreported breach of data should be punished, as along business data there is probably customers data involved. I don't know about the US but I think that in Europe this would be the case.
It's dangerous to get this kind of publicity. What happens the next time a security researcher finds a way to bypass Apple? They'll find this post and ask themselves "who is going to pay me more, Apple or the NSA?".
On Android 6.0 (2017) and later, there is no permission modal if all permissions are in the "other" category, as they are in this case.

Android 6.0 introduced requestable permissions, were critical permissions had to be requested (and could be denied) at runtime.

At the same time it removed all modals for non-critical permissions.

Well, this might be why a) it’s better if we guide behaviour based on large amounts of data rather than anecdotes, and we should b) probably trust experts (within reason).

My contrasting anecdata is that I was brought up with relatively poor dental hygiene standards and candy as a regular treat. Maybe there are other differences between us as well (are some teeth just better, stronger?) but I’ve got teeth with lots of fillings - and based on location, some decay seems obviously directly related to not having regularly flossed.

So, I wish I’d been taught better behaviours including flossing when I was young, and hadn’t had my brain’s reward centres quite so attuned to sugar.
