1) But this is my point, I do not see why I need a licence at all? Or would this mean, people in france could legally claim ownership of my work? That sounds wrong (but I know, no real legal advice here)

2) that would be a longer, different discussion, but as far as I know, there is GPL code used in military applications that do hurt people.

Edit:

"The public domain under French copyright

A work enters the public domain (domaine public) once the proprietary rights over it have expired. It may then be used without charge, so long as the moral rights of the author are respected.[17] Notably, the name of the author and the original title of the work must be cited."

So france sounds good to me.

For people who buy physical books, there's a lot of pride of ownership and enjoying the look and feel of the thing, as much as actually reading it.

this article is really old and I think UNIX and links are not just for huge construction
Before the current company that I'm working with (they forced me to use mac for day to day jobs, we can call this Unix as well but I don't like it), I used to use Linux for everything. Literally everything. My da is old but even he is comfortable with Linux distributions... But I liked the way this Author described Unix
Your comment sounds very close to that old Groucho Marx quote: "I would never join any club that would have me as a member."
It makes sense that this generates political strife as citizens age through school and out into industry. The current world economy is dependent on knowledge work. Knowledge work requires an ability to interweave, discover and generate novel mental models. If our economy is not generating these types of workers, and labor becomes supplanted by machines, the margin-of-opportunity will continue to decrease as machines take over knowledge work.

The economies and states who are in control at the logical end of that technological progression will be the ones that decide what the future of humanity looks like. Do we get UBI? Do we get social nets? Do we get human rights?
But cars are not the most useful transportation. They are immensely inefficient, in terms of space needed, pollution, cost etc. If it would be supporting the most useful modes of transportation we would only support public transport and bikes/scooters for short distances.

The ISC license is a simplification of the MIT/BSD licenses made possible by the universal adoption of the Berne Convention. Anyone who isn't doing GPL should choose the ISC license. There's also Apache 2.0 if you want to want to support FAANG in their efforts to weaken software patent holders.

It is likely that ECH will be a GREASEd "big bang" deployment for various practical reasons.

What that means is, one day you'll get a new browser update and from then all your TLS connections will seem to use ECH, however, since most servers don't speak ECH most of your connections will have an unencrypted Hello as usual and then the ECH payload they carry is actually random noise.

Then, gradually over time, sites do have ECH and the connections to those sites use a cover name in the outer Hello with the real name protected by ECH instead of noise in the ECH data.

I would anticipate this beginning probably in the next 12-18 months once ECH is nailed down completely and ready to be published.

Excited to see the barrier to optimised compilation come down for new languages!

> Mozilla is there to build browsers. Politics should have been left at the door.

I think you misunderstand Mozilla. Just have a look at their mission statement[0], and their manifesto[1]. Mozilla's goal is not "build the best browser and get the most market share". Their goals are inherently political, and building a browser is just part of how they try to achieve their goals. To expect that the people working for such a political organization with such a strong ideology is pretty bizarre to me.

Honestly, it looks like shit due to the Latin small letter i and j being wrongly positioned, and the kerning in general is faulty (e.g. see the Latin small letter p in the words "shape" or "glyphs", or the Latin small letter e in "zero"). This is on a correctly working Linux system, no other fonts exhibit these problems.
I think the notion that “3D printing will change how we put stuff together” hasn’t really manifested in meaningful ways.

I mean, you can 3D print cakes and buildings. But you could also just, you know, dumb-stack stuff and get the same result.

In the same vein there are many examples of machine learning solutions searching high and low for problems to solve, when it could really be solved by much simpler means.

Anecdotally I once heard a talk on how a local government thought they needed AI to solve housing allocation. They later found was that, for historical reasons, some applications had to go through an unnecessary number of hoops before being accepted. By policy changes alone they eliminated this bottleneck. I wish I could find the case, if it’s published anywhere.
I think people are missing the point that (I think) you are making. "The end is nigh" is not a mentality that is conducive to productive action. "The end is not nigh" doesn't necessarily mean "don't worry about it", it means "the future is going to involve living with the consequences of today's (and yesterday's) actions".

Apple has too much control over the web, we should build native apps, and nobody can compete with Google Chrome - including Apple.

I do agree that Safari is not actually lacking in features too much though, it has features the other browsers don't have. Features that Apple felt were important to develop for Safari.

What is the lead crime hypothesis?
Yes! Most developers today don’t think about hash joins, write ahead logs or b-tree indexes but we easily download postreSQL, tweak some settings and get a functioning database. Of course as companies scale they will end up employing experts to tune their databases for max performance but they work well out of the box. Good machine learning tools should be like this too: good performance out of the box and easy to use for non-machine learning experts but highly tunable and configurable for advanced use cases.

no, the correct behavior under uncertainty isn't modelling, it's something akin to Taleb's notion of antifragility or robustness. The correct response to a pandemic isn't some sort of Hari Seldon psycho-history which, as the article points out, is futile. The right response is building systems so responsive they can crush a pandemic before it gets to that stage.

A Visual Introduction to Python
Well, it’s sort of a hard issue isn’t it? Because as it turns out Mao was sort of right about the importance of controlling the story your society tells.

I’d argue that we don’t actually have a problem with deliberate lying, but that we have an issue that too many people are doing it. Because our democracy has always been build on a certain degree or twisting facts to whatever purpose. The difference is that until very recently we had a society where the public narrative was controlled by a set of institutions and authorities. With too many billionaires and populists questioning those institutions for too long, we now have split narratives where people have to chose the lies they believe in, and that’s turning out to be a bigger problem than anyone ever imagined. It’ll likely also end up biting some of those billionaires and populists in the ass when enough people decide to follow the same path of lies.

It’s a tad ironic that we’re likely witnessing another relatively free and liberal society fall due to too much decadence between the ruling class who have failed to live up to their responsibilities. Either because they were too stupid to realise the fire they are starting or because they were to greedy to care, but in either case, you need a coherent story to have a functional society where it’s different members don’t turn on each other because their world views become too different.

A lot of libertarians believing in total free speech, and a lot of HNers share this. Which is understandable, because when you are part of the technical elite of a society you tend to value the essence or basic human rights and personal liberties. So much like the masons of the past formed the free masons, you too see engineers going down similar lines of thought. But the thing is, if you look at history, that’s just not how society works as a whole. Which brings me back to my opening statement about Mao, because while we little about Mao beyond the cultural revolution and the hunger travesties and attribute most of the sway of socialism and communism to Marx and Lenin in the west. The true brilliance of Mao is still at play in the core of what is modern China, in that the revolution never actually ends and that you need a tight grip on information and the public discord on matters that effect society as a whole if you want to control society.

Unfortunately we are currently very busy proving him right. The populists may have taken some hits recently because the reality caught up to their stupidity, and the world has woken up to the foreign influence, but we still don’t have strong enough support behind our democratic institutions to have any form or safe future for our western ideologies. Unless that changes, we’ll soon become what China used to be for us. Not because we didn’t strike down on lies, but because we didn’t mutually agree on one of the lies.

> Privacy and security.

That's their stated rationale. I believe the poster was asking for their true rationale.

I would guess it has much more to do with Apple wanting to exert control over webapps running on the phone. This makes sense considering how much money they make from native apps coming from the app store.
They exist to support working with zero-terminated strings, which worked just fine today, and IMHO are useful for identifiers even today (easy to use + some modest memory savings).

Yeah, some stuff like strcat, strtok, or maybe even strcpy is taking it a little bit too far and is too inviting of errors. 30-50 years ago there was often a practice of not minding security aspects of processing external data. But even today, you could use those safely if you know the data.

strtok especially is one arcane function that was probably used a whole lot more back then. Today, hardly anybody does fixed-character delimited fields. strtok was probably useful to "parse" /etc/fstab and formats like that with as little own code as possible :-)

Some functions I use from time to time: strcmp(), strncmp(), strcpy(), strncpy(), strstr(), strchr(), strrchr().

One can rewrite versions of them to work on different types of strings, but they're readily available (if you allow libc dependency). There might be a speed advantage to home-grown solutions, too - although that's not really the point, and if performance matters the bottleneck shouldn't be on such pedestrian string processing anyway.

Warning, unpopular opinion incoming:

Cross platform is, frankly, overrated. Depending on the market you're aiming for you have a very limited set of platforms that matter and directly targeting a native look and feel, as well as accounting for hardware and OS constraints, will always produce a better experience.

Games? Target Windows and the consoles (web isn't a "real" solution on them anyway!), test on Proton if you care about Linux, and Mac isn't worth your time. Office software? Windows. Any kind of appliance (emulation station, kodi, etc), Linux. Developer tools? Linux and Windows. Bullshit addictive eyeball farming social media platform? Mobile. Artsy stuff? Mac-first and probably also Windows if you feel like it.

Even so, people were targeting many more platforms than exist today throughout the 80s and early 90s with native ports for each (or a custom VM target, see: SCUMM, Z-machine, Another World/Out of This World) and they had to deal with assembly and a lot fewer standard APIs and no universal toolkits. And they did it with fewer developers, worse tooling, and no Stack Overflow to copy-paste from. I don't really think having multiple native ports is the herculean task so many developers make it out to be.
Well, we're not "post-lead" anyway. Particularly in larger, older cities there is a lot of lead paint around, and this tends to be clustered in older, poorer neighborhoods with unrenovated and more poorly maintained dwellings. I'm not sure this is a good meta analysis.

> The only time it participated, it sent a mere 1,000 to 1,500 men, and then only as a security detachment on one of the flanks.There were 1,117 significant engagements on a scale smaller than a regular battle, but the CCP fought in only one. Of the approximately 40,000 skirmishes, just 200 were fought by the CCP, or 0.5 percent.”

This is implausible, considering the Eighth Route Army (counted as the 18th Group Army by the Nationalists), which participated in e.g. the Battle of Taiyuan, started out with more than 30,000 soldiers and grew to several hundreds of thousands over the course of the war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_Route_Army

The only way you could come to the conclusion that the Communists only fought once is if you tried to assign all soldiers to either Nationalists or Communists, and discounted all Communist forces fighting as part of the United Front, which officially placed them under Nationalist command.

How to become a bad theoretical physicist (2017)
In all honesty, a CV and a degree just get your foot in the door. When I do interviews, I want to know who you are and what you're capable off...the way to talk and explain yourself and what you know is far more important.

I rarely look at a CV in depth.

That said, thats my personal way, and if you feel like completing the degree for yourself then you should.
It's a grinder machine that people install just below their drain. Ostensibly so that you don't have to put a strainer in there.

In my opinion they provide basically zero value but lots of trouble. They encourage putting all kinds of nastiness down your pipes and in my experience tend to break and leak. But they are virtually ubiquitous here.
I don't agree with the unstated premise that only the eternal can be meaningful that is behind statements like "nothing matters anyway". What we do and how we live is all that can matter. That which is for ever and cannot change is of no matter to us.
No real users. It's a simplified simulation of a frontpage and how random users interact with it. Have a look at the code: https://github.com/fdietze/downvote-scoring/blob/master/scor...

I started to write another simulation with the goal to be more realistic, i.e. backed by real statistics from HN, like "how many votes arrive on each rank of the frontpage", or "what is the distribution of submission arrival".
I think you're confusing lead with mercury for the hat-making connection.
It's hand scraping all the way. For initial standards, the author recommends just going with the straightest thing you have in your shop, then just scrape away until things mate well.

That quote from Jamie is really nice. This seem to correlate with my own experience. I still have strong feeling for someone I lost contact with, but I am not that much affected by the lost of my dog or grandfather. I liked my grandfather but wasn't that close, and also had more than enough occasion to express my emotion at the burial. And my dog, I think, regarding to said quote from Jamie, that I expressed my love of him without restreint.

I am less sure about "this too shall pass", for that one person that is still (probably) alive. For some case, there might be something more to be done. For it to heal.
