I see contributions which are not paid for as donations. Even if some work is paid for, it's often not market rate for that quality of work.

From this perspective, donations are extremely prevalent, they are just not in terms of money. Of course this doesn't bring food to the table of contributors however. I agree that there should be more monetary donations in FLOSS.
I never suggested that it will completely erase cryptocurrencies. I do think that it will help making it less popular, which would be great. I sure think that while making theft illegal didn't stop it, it reduced the number of theft cases.
Although it can have that connotation in English, it has to be activated by context: “Jim is not a leader, he’s a follower”. But in phrases like “a follower of the Chicago school of economics” it’s neutral. Maybe in French the negative connotation is more tightly bound to the word.
This looks great. Thank you for the recommendation!
You keep posting strawman after strawman, and that's why you're getting downvoted.

> newcomers are more entitled to live somewhere than the people who already live there

Nobody said that besides you.

> residents of an area are obligated to change it in order for more people to move there and change their existing quality of life

Again, nobody said that besides you.
Maybe these creators should post sponsor-free versions of their videos on Patreon?

Even more funny, as Apple's method of scanning the photos you upload to it's online server is much more private than Google or Facebook's method.

Apple can't see the results of the scans until a threshold of 30 matches is reported by your device. To protect against false positives, Apple's servers have no idea a single match has occurred until you cross that threshold.

Google and Facebook see the results of each individual CSAM scan performed on their server and retain that data where it's open to misuse by anyone who can issue a subpoena.

We've seen Google's data horde about everyone lead to abuse before.

I always found that system super interesting!

What would the equivalent rent have been for the place you live in for free (with 90k deposit)?

In nominal terms the S&P500 would do 10% a year or so on average. Over the past decade it's been 14.7%, so that $90k would've returned 13k a year on average.

In general I feel South Korea has been a great value for money location, if you bring external capital. If I compare it to neighbouring Japan for example, prices seem so much more affordable. Of course the working culture is not easy, but for OP it'd be a great choice.
Appreciate you sharing your experience how it works. Glad to hear Windows software is an option.
> My Mac developer friends run Docker Desktop

Mac Docker is insanely resource-heavy since it runs through that virtualization layer instead of being native. Definitely a major source of frustration unless you keep your Docker stack very, very small or have an absolutely max-spec Macbook Pro.
That's because the rest of the world is no longer a bombed-out postwar wasteland or its near-enslaved colonies as it was in 01945. "Producing more than ever" is what you needed last year when you couldn't get N95 masks or ventilators, not "producing more than the rest of the world". But something went wrong and the masks and ventilators were not forthcoming, something that looks an awful lot like an absolute decline in manufacturing abilities.
Having high IQ is not knowing the shortcuts but being able to identify them.

Fact of the matter is that we make progress when collective effort is put onto something. Not everyone of us is a Terry Tao, or John von Neumann, but we can at least exploit our comparable advantage and help those better than us. Sucking your ego sucks but coming to terms with our inherent limits is freeing.
That only seems like an interesting question if you view anti-vax as some kind of ethical group.

If you choose to define it more literally as the people that are against taking any particular vaccine in common use then it's vacuously true.
> it's a "substance that reacts to magnets", which "could be metal".

> This could lend some credence to the "COVID vaccine magnet challenge" that went viral in conspiracy theory circles. [3]

You couldn't be more wrong here.

This doesn't lend any credence to anything at all.

The false claims about covid vaccines and magnetism, was that people BECAME magnetic, so that spoons and other metal objects would cling to their bodies - NOT that they'd react to magnets.

And the claims were thoroughly debunked. NO ONE was able to show they were magnetic, after applying talcum.

The scam/idiocy was debunked with James Randi's test method from 2 decades ago.
Feels like we have no choice but to switch to Linux for serious work nowadays.

Next gen Apple laptops will be selling you out to your respective governments for storing unapproved memes and saying unapproved things. They'll also be locked down progressively tighter, so Apple is able to extract more rent out of you even though you think you "own" the hardware. A decade ago I've resolved to not do any serious, long term work using tooling and operating systems that aren't Free. I've yet to regret this decision. It only makes sense that we don't allow trillion dollar corporations to deny us access to our own work 10-20-30 years from now. It also makes a ton of sense to store long term work in formats for which you could _debug the code_ if it rots over time.

I'm not a fundamentalist, though, so I use Windows for hobbies (audio recording, photography), but even then I watch out that the actual underlying work is stored in formats that I could in a pinch read with libre tooling on a libre OS of my choice.
There are more and more paying/professional-quality software that is available on Linux, mainly due to the popularity of Electron and subscriptions:

- Companies choose Electron to reduce the cost of supporting Windows and Mac, which has the side effect of making Linux supported easily even if the market isn't there. People sure like to complain about Electron but it has been very beneficial for Linux desktops.

- Selling Linux software has always been hard, mainly due to piracy and a widespread aversion to closed-source software within Linux users. With subscription business models being more popular/acceptable nowadays, which comes along a requirement to be always-online, such services are more easily available on Linux too.

For example Linux has VSCode, Spotify, 1password, Bitwarden, Obsidian, Slack, Discord, Skype, Typora, Simplenote, Inkdrop, Wordpress, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Signal, Atom, Ghost… It has improved drastically from even just 10 years ago, when almost no popular software/service was available.

And that's not mentioning the general shift to using webapps instead of desktop apps (Google Workspace, Office 365, most email services, Jira, Github, Asana…), which obviously makes Linux much more viable.
I have seen it happen so its possible. I worked at a startup where the founders had built an initial version of their product that required a total rewrite. They had customers and funding so were looking for an experienced architect. The eventual pick brought his whole prior team over. And it worked out quite well for them.

As long as one of you gets into a position where you are responsible for building a team should be very possible. So I guess target such jobs and definately play up the fact you have a team ready to go. Building out good teams can take a lot of time so managers will see it as a definate plus.

Edit:on second thoughts you dont have to even get into a position where you are in charge, you just have to get into a team that is in growth mode/expanding. Who you recommend will have more weight than what comes through the HR pipeline.
Yes perhaps. It doesn't make much sense if they were blinded by light on the most important scientific mission ever.

it costs something like 10-20k cash to remove tenants from an apartment in SF, on top of whatever else the city requires you to provide, even if the tenants have not been paying rent.

You can Alice act the house but that drastically reduces the market value of the house (e.g by more than the pile of cash you would otherwise be paying the tenants)
Fish, bread, olive oil, beef, pork, wine, basically the ancient roman diet continued until the crusades at least.
What the linked study [1] is saying is that unvaccinated people who get COVID-19 are even more likely to get Myocarditis than vaccinated people; it counters the allegation that people should not get vaccinated because of the risk of Myocarditis.

Even if the vaccine increased the risk (it doesn’t), the risk of COVID-19 is orders of magnitude higher than the risk of the Myocarditis heart condition.

There have been, from the total of 12,910,312 18-24 year-old people vaccinated, [2] about 229 cases of this rare heart disease (and, in almost all cases, the person was discharged from the hospital the same day with a clean bill of health) That means the vaccine has under a 0.002% chance of causing a very rare but not fatal heart condition. [3]

COVID-19, on the other hand, has an overall 1.66% chance of killing someone (38,043,754 cases, 629,644 deaths). [4]

I would rather take a 0.002% non-fatal risk than a 1.66% fatal risk.

Evolution will continue. It just won't be heavily influenced by our ability to survive in the natural world.

One evolutionarily change I predict is that certain forms of birth control will become less effective over the next generations. Hormonal birth control isn't 100% effective and there's probably a genetic component to that. So the women for whom birth control doesn't work as well will tend to have more offspring and pass those traits on.
"People pretty much couldn't go to space"
"Well actually Richard Branson went to space. That puts a big hole in your people pretty much couldn't go to space argument now doesn't it!?"

The example of a single person with nearly endless resources accomplishing something does nothing to refute a point about the masses. Heck, the "pretty much" qualifier is an acknowledgement that some people got around despite their condition.

Silence is golden.

PR stunt from Federighi with scripted narrative aired trough WSJ and technical documentation.

This comes from a company with recently removed black billboards with advertising slogan : What Happens On Your iPhone, Stays On Your iPhone.

And even Apple sells a lot of iPhone's, the "normies" already have being alerted. So do not be so sure about hyperbole.

No sane professional will trust a workstation with "scanning" functionality defined by third party given parameters and Apple Police in the background.
Krita, while originally focused on painting, is also worth a try for image editing. It has effect layers missing in Gimp, and an easy to grasp GUI.
i switched to linux in 1992 and never looked back
For me as a programmer the biggest issue with Linux on desktop was the wifi thing, you were never sure if it would work out of the box or if you needed to copy some obscure .bin files found on the Internet so that it would work with your wifi adapter. I think I lost a day or two on this about 15 years ago when I last set up a Linux desktop machine for myself.

The second thing (and which you mention) is the laptop install situation, I was never sure if running Linux on whatever laptop would work, and if yes if it would work 100%, meaning no wifi/sound/battery drain issues. That was one of the main reasons that has kept me away from Linux since then. Granted, if Apple goes on its current way of trying to restrict access to its machines I may make the switch back sometime in the near future.

Interesting. No, indeed, we can't use suiveur neutrally like this in French as far as I know.

We'd probably say un étudiant or une étudiante (a student) in this specific case. Or un membre (a member).

But we actually can follow a lesson (suivre un cours) without it being pejorative, so while the noun is probably always pejorative, the verb is generally not if not activated by context, as you say.
It's always strange to think that there is encrypted data flowing through my software, through my operating system, into my hardware, that somehow I, the user, I am unable to access, but that the hardware can handle just fine.

And what happens when your mother gets Alzheimer's in her 50's?

Elder care is a societal problem because one person cannot muster the resources for even a single, high-maintenance elder with dementia.
That’s absurd. Discoveries are rarely made by lone scientists, progress is made by tens or hundreds of people, each exploiting their comparable advantage, even if that is digging ditches.
as far as I know, "we" are not paving the world. The average person is not spending millions and millions on a marketing plan to bring these ideas into the american and then global imagination.
I agree it's tragic, but there's more than the speculator's side to this:

I'm currently in the market for a home (SFBAY), one that could also house my aging parents in the future, so that they're not forced to move away to a LCOL location if they don't want to. Because of this, I'm looking at purchasing a duplex or a home with an in-law unit.

Due to extremely powerful tenant protection laws in the city I'm looking to buy in, I am not considering purchasing units that are tenant occupied, and am willing to pay a significant premium for a vacant unit vs an occupied one.

This isn't a comment on tenant protection laws themselves, but a note that both sides value a vacant unit over an occupied one in highly regulated markets.
While this isn't a hard and fast rule, GSuite adoption outside of the "tech sector" is extremely low. We have to recognize our own biases and that the experiences of the average HN reader doesn't reflect the larger business world.

The ones I saw from a quick search were nice looking but pretty pricey. Basic Gold rings were going for the same price as some of the fancier designs so I think that would be more of a design / aesthetic choice.

Titanium / Tungsten / Silver are for people who want an inexpensive ring.
That shouldn’t affect the price of rent though. Landlords are largely price takers and have no pricing power. But rents are also going up.
> most people feel much better about things that happen on device

This indicates you may be misunderstanding why people generally feel better about things happening on device.

Apple's own tagline "What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone." includes a very strong hint. That hint is:

> Stays on your iPhone

Nothing about the features we're discussing here stay on your iPhone. Doing something locally is no longer meaningful if the express intent of doing that thing is to phone home when certain conditions are met.
This is true, and I don't understand why Linux doesn't have a smarter approach here. When a process suddenly starts using a lot of memory, and memory usage is approaching the limits of physical RAM, that process should be killed, rather than swapping out things like Gnome to make room for it.

Of course, that assumes a desktop environment. On a server, if a process starts using up a lot of memory, it's probably vitally important to keeping the (database|webserver) up, and should not be constrained in any way.

Which probably explains the situation that we're in.
So it seems the first major game made in Godot is now confirmed
Honestly, it's the same odds of doing a startup and profiting I think. I'd rather try.
It seems to me that if you can make a product of a given quality very cheaply, that probably indicates that you're very good at making it.

The fact that I can't get competitive production quotes in the USA for most products, like electric motors, injection molded plastic parts, printed circuit boards, stamped metal parts, castings, etc, suggests that the US is also not particularly efficient at making those parts. There was a time when the cheapest place to go for such things in production volumes was actually the US.
> There's nothing fundamentally more important about manufacturing then other types of jobs.

the idea that manufacturing is the only work that matters is especially bizarre on a social media website for tech workers.

microsoft or oracle or any number of other software products absolutely deliver value to customers just as much as a machine stamping out parts, those companies couldn't work without that software just like they can't work without an assembly line or a delivery truck or whatever.
It's not lucky, it's just that I know better than to install Ubuntu. Ubuntu's been a bad choice from the beginning and intentionally goes against the defaults of upstream providers. Random corporate distributions never know better than upstream.
This is more than basic functionality, but I'm experiencing limitations with multiple monitors that I don't get in Windows. The bundled remote Screen Sharing in GNOME does not work in that setup. VSync (on NVidia, possibly not a driver issue) doesn't work well, resulting in tearing in one consistent.
Because they didn't get it for market rate.
The conventional wisdom is that Chrome is faster.

Firefox might think that making Firefox look more like Chrome makes it easier for people to switch from Chrome to Firefox.
Genuine question:

By "tinkering" do you mean every once in a while something really important completely stops working and you have to pull your hair out in the middle of some important work in order to get that thing fixed so you can use your computer properly again, which usually involves a series of incomprehensible steps you found on the 17th page of a phpBB forum thread?

Or...?

Because, that being one primary reason many people choose macOS over Windows, it would really suck.

Asking because the article was interesting, Gnome looked great, and it'd be genuinely fantastic if this assumption on my part was wrong.
From native developer perspective...

Just tried to compile my Sciter project, full rebuild scapp executable in particular - standalone Sciter binary (HTML/CSS/JS).

- Windows / Visual Studio / VC++ - 58 seconds. Self assembled machine, i7 / 4 cores

- Linux / Code::Blocks / GCC - 3 minutes 24 seconds. MacMini 2018, i7 / 6 cores

- MacOS / XCode / LLVM - 4 minutes 20 seconds. MacMini 2020, M1

So no surprise that I am using Windows as my primary dev platform.

As always, YMMV, depends on what you are using your machine for.
SATA has always supported port multipliers. Backblaze used them in the early days for their storage pods.
Don’t tell people what to do. People don’t watch JRE for Joe (mostly), but for more his guests. Not only that, Joe is great and you’re a hater. Try harder. He’s not perfect but you likely sure aren’t either. Rogan podcast is fine and I recommend it.
Yeah totally. I only use desktops now but if I had to buy a laptop I think I'd go for an M1 MBA or MBP.
That's exactly it! The entire C-suite is left defending Apple's brand in an antitrust trial on the basis of propriety ,[1] that Apple has the adults in the room, which has been the impetus for the abrupt hard turn away from privacy. That narrative leaves me feeling very little sympathy for Apple, unfortunately.

I actually love this aspect of Linux, and if it ever does become successful it will kill it for me. Because every medium that gains a certain level of popularity will bring along a whole raft of commercial parasites that will spoil the original experience. It happened to the web, it happened to smart phones and it certainly would happen to Linux if it ever did gain substantial traction on the desktop.

Wow, pretty much anything can be refuted when you operate entirely against a wondrous straw man. I didn't say a word about space. It would be pretty dumb to say people couldn't pretty much go to space.

I also don't understand your fixation that just because Roosevelt was able to do something, that no one else was able to. In fact you should know employment of the disabled has actually gone DOWN since the ADA was passed, and in fact over half of the worknig age disabled worked before passsing of the ADA -- which usually involves going out at some point in public.

You've made abundantly clear that your "good faith" worries about others are in fact a projection of your own problem with keeping the good faith.

Hmm. This smells of literal survivor bias. The group that survives the delta variant is a smaller set than all who got infected while all vaccinated persons survived, even ones that wouldn’t have survived without the vaccine.
