My understanding is it is the patent licensing clause which prevents several companies (like Apple) from using GPLv3.

Companies may not distribute GPLv3 under an exclusive patent arrangement, but rather need to negotiate a patent arrangement for all derivatives of the software. This puts them in a bad situation if someone manages to get an injunction based on their inclusion of say Samba.
If you can, make it easier to do a little. Friction is a big cause of procrastination.

My computer has a "project" command that will cd to the project's directory, start docker and build the project. This lets me jump right back in with a single command.

There's another command that fetches the production data, and gives me a local environment that's exactly like the production one. I have it in most of my projects.

This also applies to other hobbies. I keep my workshop and kitchen clean. I can get to work without cleaning up the workspace first.

This type of niche game might actually be the exception where long-term sales are more than the initial sales. I would rather own this game than yet another clone of some overdone theme with similar sales up to this point.

Some reasons:

* If anyone were to search for such a game, this will be the top result by default, so there might be a trickle of sales over time that just doesn't stop.

* This game may trend on some relevant subreddit/twitter clique/forum and get later sales boosts from that.

* If you have a Yerba Mate blog or podcast, this is basically the only game you can even feature if you wanted to talk about something new.

My next step would be to make a spreadsheet of anything Yerba Mate -related that could possibly feature the game and contact them all.

When people skim through something in a sloppy way and then focus on writing a rant about it I just don't take their view seriously. If people can't be bothered to carefully digest information, I just assume that they don't know what they are talking about. You may be right or wrong, but I would just choose to listen to people who did their homework instead.
America is following the same path. Massive censorship on all social platforms about vaccine damage, and only positive information about the vaccine in the mass media.

I believe pricing is one of the most important decisions any business can make, and $5 does not make any sense to me.

You're probably betting that this is a niche game that likely will take you more time than its worth in sales: in that case, you need to increase the price as much as you can without it looking absurd in comparison to triple A titles, so maybe $30 or so.

If not much happens, you accept that there is no way any meaningful number of people will be interested in this game for the price of a steak dinner, so you go for the "penny crowd" instead: sell the game for $1 during a steam sale and get free attention from a >95% discount.

Ideally you can spend this in-between time fixing some bugs and just keeping the game "alive" so it doesn't look like a complete cash grab, but on the other hand you should never feel obligated to put your time into something that isn't, and likely never will, be paying you back.
Well the demo is live, it's linked right there and you could try it.

I did, and after typing in the left-parens inside the already existing left-parens, tylr gave me a right-parens in the "backpack", the space above where I was typing, and then didn't let me move outside of the enclosing parens pair (ie, I had to "put down" the matching right-parens to either enclose the 2, or the 2,3 pair). If instead I put in the left-parens before the already existing one, tylr automatically added the right-parens after the existing right-parens (which makes sense, it's the only legal place for the left-parens I just added to be matched).

But again, you could just try it out.

I am no scientist, and I have no access to paywalled platforms and publications. So Sci-Hub is my only available option, and it is increadibly valuable when it comes to doing research on a specific topic. - I can remember the old days of the internet, pre-wikipedia, when encyclopedias were a paid thing. And I did not have the means to subscribe to them. And I remember the days of the internet pre sci-hub, where a layman had no access to publications. Those were sad days. We should not go back to those days. Everyone should support efforts that are towards the vision of shared knowledge, accessible by anyone. Especially in a world where misinformation is spreading like a virus.

> And the rest. As much as I love and want uLED. None of these are new, and the problem has been roughly the same from day 1 in 2016 when all the media were jumping on uLED. Even if they could solve all of that they still dont have a roadmap of cost reduction that could match OLED.

Not even 2016. Samsung had uLED type display RnD going in their Samsung Research Institute since 2006.

Just as with OLED, despite all of the crazy tech investor money, it's very clear who will reach the finish line first.

Samsung probably already has a commercialisable solution, but is just keeping it in the sleeve, waiting for an appropriate moment, like OLED profits shrinking, or somebody else getting close to microled commercialisation.

I think the problem is that money runs the world, so rich people run the world. What can we do about that without abolishing capitalism? It's a hard question to answer.

Almost always, rich people are evil and don't care about other humans unless they can get some benefit from them. But I really hate how we are supposed to look up to them as well. They don't deserve fame. They are despicable human beings.
I understand you're coming from a compassionate place, you don't want to see them burn out, I've burnt out and it sucks.

You can make good money selling your time, but maybe it's not about money for them? By all other measures this game was a great personal success. At this point the dev is competent and successfully releasing games, they just haven't been commercially successful. Now would be a terrible time to give up.

My advice would be to run out of options first, then go work at that "elsewhere". Once you get settled into a career it can be really hard to step back out into solo dev.
Show HN: Game Clocks 1k FPS on Potato Computer Is Simple “Revolutionary”
Honestly, I think that this is revolutionary. 1,000 FPS. Because this game was created with Python and ran locally, I think that helped the speed a lot. Besides, It is a simple 2D game. However, it is still an achievement to see such a feat on a Potato Computer.
Kinda neat, would prefer to have a page rather than just a line of code to move up and down. I can see it catching on, it's not just a big departure from current syntax highlighting/code completion. My IDE pre-matches various brackets and quotes as I type and gets it right most of the time.

SpaceX False Alarm Encounter with “Unknown Object” – April 2021
And yet, for all intents and purposes, it works fine in Europe to have the drinking age at 16/18. Perhaps even better than in the US! And with fewer drunk driving deaths as a percentage of fatal crashes [0].

Maybe because the driving age is slightly higher, training to become a driver is usually more rigorous, and max BAC levels are around 0.05%.

Another aspect might be cultural — in my experience alcohol is much more taboo and simultaneously more likely to be abused by youth in the US than in Europe. This is probably because many grandmothers will give their grandkids a small glass of wine with dinner or a schnapps for New Years or other stuff like that. This de-stigmatizes the drug, thereby making it less edgy and cool to drink.

I remember being 14 at a wedding in Germany and everyone very jovially encouraging me to have a small schnapps shot, and getting very drunk on absinthe at maybe 16/17 in France. No one really cared, and the lesson of the hangover was plenty to whip me into shape.

A few offshoots from this line of thinking…

Where do viruses sit on this scale of grayness?

Yes, viruses have organic molecules, information storage systems, and compartmentalization. No, viruses do not have metal catalysis (correct me if I’m wrong) nor do they have energy currencies (they rely on hosts for energy). Viruses appear rather gray indeed.

Can the grayness framework be modified/extended to describe superorganisms?

Superorganisms like bee colonies are only mentioned in passing and the authors do not try to apply their grayness framework. Organic molecules and metal catalysis aren’t as relevant beyond the molecular scale, but information storage systems, energy currencies, and compartmentalization apply just as well to superorganisms. Perhaps those are the more generalizable attributes of life.

I’m reminded of concepts from Schrödinger’s What Is Life?. Schrödinger describes local reduction of entropy to be a key feature — combining energy currencies with compartmentalization is one way to achieve that. Separately, he discusses the hereditary mechanism and suggests an “aperiodic crystal” could encode heritable information.

What would be the contents of a sister article titled “The Grayness of the Origin of Consciousness”?

I would love to see an outline.
It calls for a bit of strategic thinking that may come off as reckless and nilhistic but logically sound.

* If iterations of will in the end come out "correct" then speeding it up will help progress in process up until a limit.
* Conversely if we cannot come across the "correct" answer eventually as a species we were already doomed and it isn't like we are making matters worse. (Putting aside the definitional issues of technically already being doomed in an entropic universe.)

I stick to binary outcomes here by design due to "optimal" being not only non-computable but non-definable.

There is a popular argument about "bad information traveling faster than good" but it doesn't quite convince me. The speed may also be its own undoing via overexposure undermining its credibility. There is a notable historic pattern seen in England, Boston, Ireland of theocrats getting in charge and so taxing everybody's patience they cause declines in religiousity athiests could only dream of. Respectively Cromwell and the puritans being so bad people went back to nobility, "Banned in Boston" censorship, and theocratic abuses including the Magdalyne Laundries.
There really isn't a lot of evidence of pre-columbian contact. Outside the Bering strait region, the only firmly established contacts are that of the Norse. Polynesian contacts may have occurred, but aren't considered definitive. Nothing else is considered remotely plausible. That means there weren't a lot of opportunities for anyone to get American plants back to Europe prior to Columbus.
But things are a bit complicated by the fact that many of those Americans have the Right to Return to Israel with many already holding Israeli citizenship.

"How do you define success?"

Let us look at the USA of today and its social ills. Quality of a random person's life is undeniably better if they manage:

* to avoid going into jail/prison,
* to always have a home,
* to be drug-free, or at least drug addiction-free,
* to be fit (= not obese),
* to be employed or self-employed,
* to finish their high school education at least.

Those points might sound modest, but if someone can tick off all of them, they are already sorta successful, especially compared to someone who can only tick off one or two.

A nation of people who could tick off 5 of 6 would probably be much happier than contemporary America.

Do all those points correlate with IQ? I would guess yes, but IANA Social Scientist.
I don't see how religious zealotry had anything to do with it. I presume you'r referring to Christianity.

This device originated some time in the second or first century BC, half a millennium before the ascendancy of Christianity, so we can't blame the lack of evidence of any successor devices during that period on religion.

The next time we see similarly sophisticated devices in Europe is the early 14th century, in the form of astronomical clocks such as those made by Richard of Wallingford in the 1330s. That's at the height of the ascendency of the Catholic church, and several hundred years before the reformation got under way.

I'm really curious if this could be used for people who need to write code but aren't trained for it or because it's not their job. A lot of people are not willing to learn coding, and I really feel there are possible effort to make it more simple.

The first thing that scare those people is the whole "plain text" thing. Spelling errors in programming are not forgiving and that's the first thing learners have trouble with.

One example that comes to mind is science. There often is data to process, and excel can obviously do many things, but I'm really confident that more could be done.

Programming feels like something that is often done by experts, but it really really doesn't have to.

Of course, programmers often disagree that beginners should be given tools to replace experts programmers, but it's still better to have someone who can do the job of a programmer.

It's a question of motivations.

Linus likely believes in the benefits of collaborative development, and that the GPLv2 creates a legal framework to allow for that development.

However he also likely cares more about the software aspects (getting contributions to make better kernel versions and have them be widely used) than the more philosophical aspects of software freedom.

The philosophy on binary drivers for example is one where the Linux kernel does not guarantee a stable binary interface - it isn't that you can't legally distribute a binary driver (with caveats), but he has stated he would like those developers to occasionally "wake up in a cold sweat" over their linux binary drivers breaking on minor releases.

Additionally - because of the velocity of the linux kernel, maintaining a substantial vendor fork is not simple. This creates an atmosphere where maintaining functionality outside the mainline kernel could be a technical/financial burden that justifies any IPR release needed for a L-K contribution.

The number of contributions also means that such forks are likely not a significant fractional contribution compared to the contributions which people are willing to make in the open. The success of the project no longer depends on enforcement of the publication clauses.

Finally, clauses in the GPLv3 and AGPLv3 do influence and even force technology choices. The community likely does not want to lose contributions by pushing people to other kernels, and the commercial interests contributing to Linux would have to account for lost customers.

AGPLv3 is often chosen by commercial entities to force distinct commercial licensing of a published-source code base, rather than an effort to protect a community of contributors. As none of the commercial interests in Linux have exclusive copyright assignment to do a non-AGPLv3 license, there is significantly less commercial benefit for them to support such a move.

Here in my town in the US, since covid the McDonald's is still closed for indoor dining/pickup. Therefore they have allowed people to walk through the drive thru line with the cars. (When I was 15, you were not allowed to do this). Some of the people have already placed orders on the app. But the general feeling is a line of cars with two or three people standing between the cars taking their turn to order at the drive thru window, at midnight when nothing else is open. Somehow this ragged line feels more dystopian to me than almost anything else since covid.
