basically everything you're talking about was contributed by hobbyists passionate about Doom (I know, I was one of them). A BSD license wouldn't have stopped them, or encouraged any of them to take their modifications closed-source. Doom and then Quake had an active and enthusiastic community of modders who generally released everything back to the community, for the love it. I can't imagine the GPL vs BSD or MIT or Apache would have made any difference here.
The government being the arbitrator of free speech is definitely a bad thing but that doesn't mean Social media companies deserve a free reign. The local newspaper and TV company in my city are responsible for what they show and print. That's not been the case with SM companies. The result is a massive misuse of Social media by trolls and anti-social elements. Whatever moderation they have in place is clearly not enough.
The root cause of this is basically Hollywood (i.e. who makes what gets shown in your local multiplex) has given up on making movies exclusively for American audiences. You need a global audience, and you need the potential to get a billion dollars + in revenue. E.G. as he points out comedies have died, that's because comedy is highly localized versus the kids movies + adventure plots which are more universal. End result is everything gets boiled down to its rawest, most accessible elements and everything feels samey.
I absolutely love SWAT. It feels like a movie they had fun making, and doesn't take itself very seriously.

The pricing has changed recently, grandfathered in organisations have reasonable pricing (relative to GitHub) but the pricing for new organisations is much more expensive than GitHub. You can compare GitLab on features, but if you want to use those features the pricing is not comparable (GitLab's $100/user/m vs. GitHub's $21/user/m).

I think you’re confusing “would not be allowed to be made today” with “would face a ~48 hour Twitter outrage cycle then the world would move on”.

I feel like we're stuck in this absurd cycle where the outrage to the outrage becomes a force multiplier. A small number of very vocal people on the left express outrage about X. Not a view shared by the vast majority of the population, left and right included. Right wing media picks up on said outrage and makes vast, sweeping statements about what it means about "the left" and "America today". The whole thing snowballs, some folks on the left end up defending people they don't agree with just because of the outrage on the right... blah blah blah it all eventually dies down until we do the same dance a couple of months later.

It's all an absurd waste of everyone's time, except for the folks like Tucker Carlson that get record viewing figures and a huge pay day from it.

> Kurt Vonnegut once said that there are only six types of story.

I see others quoting this here, but I'm not aware of Vonnegut actually saying this anywhere. This is the type of thing that needs a reference.

If I infer using what I know of Vonnegut and his presentations on the shapes of stories, I'd wager that he simply thought many stories fit into certain shapes but that not all stories fit into these. That is, there are stories that don't have well defined or common shapes. Plus, as we all know, Vonnegut liked to have fun. I highly doubt Vonnegut ever thought there were only <x> amount of story shapes.

Zig is a really nice language, but it doesn't go as far as Rust in the correctness department, which is what's motivating Rust adoption in Linux (other Rust aspects being merely nice-to-haves). It's not clear that Zig would bring sufficient gains to overcome the cost of adding a language, even if it was as mature as Rust.

It's all over the conservative media platforms. They keep repeating it so people will think it's true. It's not.
First, this is backwards. As many have pointed out, any and all telemetry should be opt-in, not opt-out, so the variable should be named YES_PLEASE_TRACK_THE_LIVING_SHIT_OUT_OF_ME, and if and only if is it equal to 1, should the data be collected.

But what irks me more is this measly list of unsolicited PRs. Going over a list of projects where you are a nobody and inject yourself with your "improvements" there, with the implication that if you don't accept the PR, you're somehow an enemy, is far from being a good way to advertise your cause. I remember Alex Gaynor spamming a lot of projects with PRs to amend the documentation to use gender-neutral language, and I remember Coralina Ehmke carpet-bombing projects into accepting codes of conduct. No matter how noble your ideas are, mass-harassing people into accepting them is a major dick move.

> Telemetry should always be opt-in. Yes, that means vendors will get much less data. It's on them to deal with it.

This approach leads to fewer vendors.
I don't share the opinion that it's "foced down the throat", but at least for young adults, many conversations are about the currently popular TV show or movie. So while it's not "forced down your throat", I think many people watch them to fit in. From what I saw it started with Breaking Bad, then Game of Thrones, and then it started getting faster and faster.
OPT-IN is so much better for users. But if analytics is helpful, then probably opt in means you get no data, unless you keep bugging people asking people to opt in - which would be horrible too
Re point number 2: The example you give is not really supporting your point, and is pretty much an on the nose example of (cognitive) bias that comes off looking quite hypocritical, and slightly racist (for lack of a less loaded term).

Please do not get your emotions up, I will try to explain. Your comment strongly implies a preference for movies from the past. Hollywood movies were/are notorious for “whitewashing” characters - i.e. using white characters / actors in roles where this would be very implausible according to the internal logic of the story (or history in cases where it applies). Objecting to one but not the other seems extremely hypocritical - there is a lack of consistency / fairness there. And then the question is why the preference for one vs the other?

The more interesting question IMO is whether that preference is something inherent, or the result of years of exposure / programming that has normalized the practice one way - such that you are still able to suspend disbelief - but not the other?

I think if hundreds of millions of people were faced with unliveable conditions, they would be strongly incentivized to move themselves. Also, it would more likely be a migration that plays out over the span of, say, a generation.

In 2020 it was estimated that 55 million people were displaced due to climate and weather events, more than 3 times the number displaced by conflict and violence. So the mass migration is already well under way.
Agreed, I was over 2000 movies seen and the list of ones to watch was ever getting larger the more I knew (5000+). With only 800 seen I guarantee they didn't know what they didn't know. I stopped focusing on movies for the opposite reason of him, I knew I would never get to see all of the good ones I wanted to.
Ask HN: What type of code irritates you while reading code? Spaghetti code?
Reading code is not an easy task. I'm irritated or overwhelmed in some situations.

For example, a method needs multiple files to trace the flow when reading the code. Start to read line 50-55 in file A and then jump to line 30-40 in file B and then line 5-10 in file C and then... When I face this type of code, I often get lost and forget what to do. So, I'm irritated.

In other case, hundreds or thousands lines of code in a file always overwhelms me. Honestly speaking, I want to escape the huge code in such a situation.

> Twitter is put on par with newspapers, because they do gatekeeping and have accepted bias.

Twitter does some minimal moderation, and everything& everyone has bias. calling them a newspaper though? no. that's absurd. there's no pretense here that this is truth, that people are reporting. one's entering a bazaar of voices.

I don't get the impulse to be cruel & constraining & mean to these democratic emerging mediums. demanding that they fulfill certain roles we want them to have is unjust, a horrible constraint against creativity & liberty.
While not entirely passive, I developed a SaaS[0] to scratch my own itch. As a freelancer I often use Asana[1] with clients but one serious missing feature is easy referable task IDs like Jira.

Currently it isn't replacing my freelancing (yet) but it generates a small decent income which is for a big part passive.

How to get a lucrative job in cybersecurity
That's kinda the thing. The five day work week evolved in response to factory work. The machines were the expensive overhead, and profit was maximized by keeping them going for as long as possible.

The work week had previously been six days, or even seven if management was insufficiently religious. Just getting down to five was a literal fight:

https://www.history.com/topics/19th-century/haymarket-riot

Office work inherited that ethic, but without the reasoning. Nobody even tried to determine the optimal number of hours.

Service sector work is more complicated, since it's often part time or hourly, and varies widely from place to place and person to person. Optimizing that would take a whole lot more work. But for office jobs, it's long since past time to reconsider why we're basing it on factory jobs.
I upgraded my original Switch to the revamped model with the new SoC a couple of years ago. GameStop were offering a really great trade in which cost €50 for the new model. It basically boiled down to a €50 100% battery life boost, and new hardware of course which may have some useful other revisions.

Curious if they will do it again.
Thank you a lot for the kind words and constructive criticism! I agree, inserting the feedback loop building and a bit more growth hacks would be benefitial, thanks.
I think you should compare it to what's normally being done for groceries. You would get a trailer of a good. Then in your warehouse split that into smaller pallets, going with other goods on a new trailer to a store. There, a worker would have to put the goods on the shelves, and a customer later pick it into their cart. The store also uses lots of resources. Same with every shopper in a neighborhood driving their own car to the store, vs a van delivering to multiple homes.

So I think it's better.
Eliezer tells the story that elaborates on why you should be careful what you wish for. Of about a dozen versions of the Eagle and Tortoise story I've just skim-read, none of them really has this as a moral - in each of them, either the Eagle or a Tortoise was an asshole and/or liar and/or lying asshole, so the more valid moral would be, "don't deal with dangerous people" and/or "don't be an asshole" and/or "don't be an asshole to people who have power to hurt you".

This is amazing. I don't know whether I want one, or want to be one. As an occupation for retired gentlemen, I think it would be very appealing.

We sort of had one growing up, where the family had some land in the country and my parents let a very eccentric man live in a rennovated hippie school bus parked on it, and eventually he built a network of little huts that were each beneath the area threshold where a building permit would be required. He maintained the land and the things we built on it, like tree houses and ziplines over gullies (all farcically unsafe, but a kind of heaven for a 10yr old self and siblings). He lived there until they sold the land, and he moved in with his estranged brother on another piece of land, just the two of them, not speaking for years.

It was certainly less genteel than described in the article, but this pattern hasn't disappeared. People I know with land have had long term tenants on the property, sort of Kato Kaylin long term guest characters, and as a retirement plan, it certainly beats being warehoused in a retirement home.

If there were a deal where I could park an airstream on someone's back 40 in exchange for some minimal property maintenance and gardening into my late 70's and 80's, that sounds appealing. There would probably even be competition, so I should start thinking about how I might interview for such a role that I might prevail over the other ornamental garden hermits.

Non-tech people aren't going to ever be able to set something like that up on their own and keep it working. I don't even want so mess with stuff like that. I do that all day at work, I neither have the time or motivation to worry about messing with more tech after work.
