You are very cautious with me in not taking any offense; thank you (I won’t)!
For me the aligning and the subsequent empty space which is created between the two columns allows very fast skimming in the values of -both- columns. I don’t have any isse in tracking horizontally. Any spreadsheet uses the same technique (aided by the cell lines).

I use this style also in expressions: often when coding graphics you have similar operations or variables and ordering it in “column fashion” allows quick skimming and error spotting.

Another (real) example:

const neighbors =
get(x - 1, y - 1, w, h, prev) +
get(x, y - 1, w, h, prev) +
get(x + 1, y - 1, w, h, prev) +
get(x - 1, y, w, h, prev) +
get(x + 1, y, w, h, prev) +
get(x - 1, y + 1, w, h, prev) +
get(x, y + 1, w, h, prev) +
get(x + 1, y + 1, w, h, prev)

I took the pint as saying that Apache/MIT/BSD/MPL code that is distributed as part of a GPL project is actually under GPL. To obtain the original Apache/MIT/BSD/MPL code you need to get it from upstream.

So that if project A originally licensed as MIT is statically linked inside a project B licensed under the GPL then in the event that all copies of project A source code are destroied except those distributed via project B (a more likely scenario before mirror servers) then project A is now only available under GPL.

I believe that GP relies on the fact that GPL source code can only be statically linked with other GPL code and so "compatibile with GPL" means "can be relicensed under GPL" rather than "can be included as is in GPL works"

>As a consequence, though, the initial price of the equipment is going to go up.

What would be the arguments for this price increase?

Because if they are factoring in servicing into the price of the equipment, then I think that would be even more serious case of planned obsolescence (if we can even use that term here...). Maybe then someone will pick up that inefficiency and develop a new brand of affordable equipment - if the US gov. would allow that of course.
If they are really that much smarter, why don't they code their own tools? It's not like there's a programming guild which enforces the monopoly held by certified software developers.
You only care if your kids aren't planning to live there. In small, isolated communities it's common to hand property down (much like farmland) rather than sell.

In those cases the cost of the property is more academic as the real value is the community and any sentimental elements (eg "my grandfather built this"/"5 generations of kids were born in this house", etc)

> A typical nuclear power plant produces 1 MW of POWER.

I think you've got things confused by about an order of magnitude here – 1 GW per nuclear power plant sounds more like it.

(Also for comparison's sake – an electric train can use up to a few MW when accelerating under full power, and you certainly don't need multiple nuclear power stations to power just one measly train)

I design and develop a no-code tool [1] for the last 7 years. I see many software developers on HN struggle to understand the point of no-code. I'll try to explain.

First of all, no-code tools are not intended for developers. Although, developers can and do benefit from them by using them occasionally for prototyping and mundane automations. The main beneficiaries of no-code tools are "citizen developers" - people who get paid for something else than software development (e.g. marketing analysts, accountants, lawyers, etc) but who need/want to automate things to be more productive in their main work. For them, no-code is a godsend. It's like not having hands and asking someone else to do something for your with their hands all your life, and then suddenly getting your own pair of hands. No-code is a super-power to them because now they can do things they need but couldn't do earlier. For instance, querying databases without knowing SQL, pulling data from web APIs without having a clue about HTTP, or renaming a thousand of files in a loop. No-code is not about doing everything. No-code is about being able to do something, because previously its target audience could do nothing. Remember that excitement when you wrote your first Hello World program and it worked? This is exactly how "citizen developers" feel about no-code.

Second, no-code is not a replacement for general-purpose computing and never meant to be. There is only a limited set of tasks, that can be efficiently automated using no-code and high-level abstractions - ETL, file/folder manipulations, RPA, certain things from gamedev and ML, and maybe robotics. However, these tasks are very common and no-code saves a lot of time and money for them.

Third, no-code creates a new class of people that can do programming, because no-code is programming. It just uses higher-level abstractions and can be imperative, declarative, or functional. This class of programming is here to stay because it works.

I'll stop here because I can talk about no-code for hours :)

Yeah, these problems are consistent with Microsoft email. I've been using Sendgrid to send emails for our SaaS and some customers who use Microsoft email don't receive transactional messages at all. There's nothing you can do about it.

Also, seen this happen with other apps too. Transactional messages don't arrive on Microsoft email addresses.

We are solving the billing and compliance for businesses, while Bikayi and other online store solutions make it easy to share product catalogue online to the customers. For the businesses having offline/store-front sales and online sales in different apps, it is becoming more complex to consolidate the sales from these different channels.

With the aggressive implementation of GST(Goods and Services Tax, a monthly sales compliance) in India, business owners are spending between 2-7 days per month to organize these sales for tax filings. And even managing the payments is also becoming complex for the businesses as they need to manually check who paid for what transaction.

Apps like Khatabook and OKCredit and not towards the invoicing and GST compliance, but are more used for recording the credit/debit. For micro businesses it might work as most of them don't worry about inventory and tax stuff. We are targeting the small and medium segment and making it easy for them to manage inventory, bills, customers, vendors and taxes at a single place.

We started with Desktop version as most of our initial customers use desktop for billing, and we are comfortable developing web apps. Now, mobile app is in private beta and some of our customers are already testing it. Soon in a week or so we are about to launch the native mobile app on playstore.

Thank you for the suggestions on the landing page, we will be working on them.

I agree. Two things come to mind regarding the interface of GIMP.

One is what you wrote - that it needs a product manager and tons of manhours just to do what's essentially a refactor. Not to mention that GIMP devs said that many UI changes would imply backend changes too, because of limitations. And they are working on those limitations, among other things.
Second part of the point is that Adobe must have like 50 people work on Photoshop, and I guess even more when you consider the overlaps with their other products. Compare this to the active contributor number to GIMP.

The second point is that many people compare it to Photoshop like Photoshop is a gold standard of usability. It's just as a nightmare as GIMP if you're not used to it. So, it's not really GIMP's fault that people are used to something else.
There are also some highly successful no-code/low-code platforms like Excel which are used for complex business-critical tasks.
Based on my observations the vast majority of "men" talking down girls in video games are teenager boys, most of whom eventually grow up and stop doing that. Admittedly some never grow up, perhaps they're more likely to be heavy gamers and even become game devs?

Anyway, I think any spaces dominated by teenagers will always be pretty toxic places, no matter if we're talking about schools or gaming servers. I have no idea what could be done about it, other than proper supervision by staff or server moderators.

Another common problem with unit testing is that the function being tested should actually be four different functions and the setup is so complex, it becomes more of an integration test on the wrong level.

Then the developer will say "unit testing is a pain in the ass, I rather do integration tests". But the problem is that the code being tested is calling out its problems through these tests.
GIMP needs funding to do that. It's not easy to turn a ship around.

If Socrates worked in a dive bar, I’m sure he’d agree.
I would spend $5 on a font, but would not spend $100. I would buy the font the author of this article likes for even $10, but it costs $200 (for just the monospaced variant).

The price point for fonts is set for people who intend to use the font to make money – like graphic designers. One could imagine a lower price point for private use, similar to media.

I would not put that into the planned obsolescence category necessarily. Factoring in the lifetime value of a customer doesn't imply that. On heavy machinery there are/can be parts that just really wear down/need maintenance.

One of the questions is how profitable is the manufacturing, sell, and maintenance of farm equipment (for example)? Maybe some of the wallets redistribute between buyers, sellers, and maintenance firms - maybe not if the economics are poor. If the profits were to come mostly from maintenance, then pricing could not just stay where it is (absent new market entries creating downward pressure).
>I believe I only had a Windows 98 'Upgrade' CD, which could not be used to install on a bare system.

As I recall it, there was actually a minimal set of files needed to trigger the CD to install and you didn't actually need a full 95 install. I worked at a shop at the time and remember doing a lot of reinstalls from those upgrade disks and we definitely didn't spend the time to reinstall both OSs.

I tried searching and the closest I could find was that win95 upgrade would do a full install if you told it to find the old win3.1 on the win3.1 install floppy. I vaguely remember doing something similar, so either it was those versions (unlikely, but possible) or later versions had the same trick.

We definitely did a lot of full windows installs from the upgrade disks without installing the full previous OS first.

I've been looking around at old sharp zaurus organizers and psion mx5 devices for the use case of offline portable word processor that can save text files to eventually go to PC via CF / SD card. for this years nanowrimo.

Most psions are 300 bucks, i can't justify that though i love the idea. And the 15 buck zaurus organizers either only have a 30 character 'memo' function or are so old they only run DOS and have to sync via serial cable.

Anyone have any suggestions on a palmtopish machine with qwerty keyboard that can write txt or rtf files to an sd card and can be had for 100 or less on ebay?

Could an alternative to "right to repair" be "pay for the value of the service"?

So if the tractor works, it generates money for the manufacturer.

If the tractor fails, the manufacturer would be charged - say - $1000 per day.

This way the user would not care if the tractor works or not. If it works, they make $1000 from hay. If it does not, they get $1000 from the manufacturer.

Even if the manufacturer is not interested in this business model, it could be provided by a third party. Either as an insurance against non-working equipment or as a full service by a company that buys the tractor and provides it under the "pay for the value of the service" model.

It depends. For creating production-quality code certainly true.

But for design discussions, feature priotisation etc. an in person meeting often is better.

Yes, that is a great example of something that falls flat in a proportional font or without using column alignment.

My only suggestion is to be more generous with whitespace inside the parentheses:

const neighbors =
get( x - 1, y - 1, w, h, prev ) +
get( x, y - 1, w, h, prev ) +
get( x + 1, y - 1, w, h, prev ) +
get( x - 1, y, w, h, prev ) +
get( x + 1, y, w, h, prev ) +
get( x - 1, y + 1, w, h, prev ) +
get( x, y + 1, w, h, prev ) +
get( x + 1, y + 1, w, h, prev )

I don't quite understand why, but most modern coding styles prohibit ever putting a space inside the parens. I think the common philosophy is to follow the same conventions you would when writing English prose. But we're not writing prose, we're writing code! To me it is more readable if we allow a little breathing room inside the parens.
In the US market, I've found pads and rotors on the aftermarket for VW Passat for any model year including 2021. Centric sells pads and rotors front and rear.

VW (and others such as some Jeep) uses an electronic parking brake which requires a scan tool to command the ECU to enter maintenance mode in order to retract the electronic motor on the rear axle to allow the piston to retract.

You can do this at home if you have a scan too. If you do not have a scan tool it is still possible to do it manually by disconnecting and removing the EPB servo and manually retracting, but it tricky and not recommended.

They use triple square fasteners on the bracket, and are typically a pain in the ass for this make.
