> It doesn't allow you to install minor versions of the same library at the same time (thats how you end up with all these 1.so, 2.so)

Minor versions should be ABI-compatible so you should only need the newer of the two. For ABI-incompatible changes, a different SONAME is appropriate, though the convention would be .so.0 -> .so.1 etc.

> So if you want a binary to work across multiple distributions, you can build it on a really old CentOS and if you are lucky it will work, but I have no trust in this.

As far as glibc or other libraries that take ABI stability seriously go, this does work.

> Forward-compatibility is not really considered, where you update your libraries and your existing app becomes more powerful.

Symbol versioning does not prevent you from updating the implementation of old symbol versions in a compatible way.

> The dynamic linker doesn't allow you to load two different library versions at the same time (without a lot of contortions). You would think you could do `dlopen` and `dlsym` on two different `.so` files, and then just have separate function pointers to each version's functions. But the linker loves to load all the symbols into a global namespace for some reason.

Having an option to use a separate linking table for specific dlopen calls would be useful, yes.

I'm not at all against versioning, but found glibc's implementation a source of frustration.

It would be great if you could install Qt 5.9, 5.12, 1.14 in parallel and have apps use the latest version (except for that one app that triggers a bug where you fix it to 5.9). This is an actual problem that occurred at work, I had to statically compile Qt in that case. Glibc's idea of lib versions doesn't help here at all if I understand correctly.

>Something weird happened over the past decade.

I blame it on social media monopolies, or at least effective monopolies, oligopolies, and the network effect. Once everyone was sucked into these silos and unable to leave they could do whatever they wanted with the user experience without repercussions. And once everyone was used to it and took it as a given it was only a matter of time before it leaked even into desktop apps or even Windows, and people just accepted it. What I think could reverse the user hostility trend would be competition which would require breaking the oligopolies/network effect which means the rise of Linux desktop or Fediverse platforms, and that's gonna be a while, but not impossible. And of course there are limits to how far they can degrade the user experience without starting to lose users so I don't think it can be a lot worse than now, but still we're stuck with the status quo.

Maybe you should not go into details¹. Because if you presented that evidence to specialists disagreeing with you, they would have their say. And this thread is unlikely to lure them specifically. Here, you are just making statements that cannot be tackled directly. But for the "there exist people who do not clearly appear as non-«quality people» and nonetheless disagree on some points".

(Just to give an example: I have heard about a plausible argument about that «manufacturers say it[']s ineffective», and I do not think the matter should not be discussed in this context, but arguments exist. Good or bad: that is for the analysis table, not the "I just had two minutes available". If matters were clear-cut, the whole problem would not exist.)

¹Edit: for clarity: with «go[ing] into details» I meant that I invite the poster against introducing statements like «people who believe [whatever is controversial]», and especially because this thread is not here have us stuck in those controversies, and because they would not be solved with two sentences, surely, since there are apparent non-lunatics defending those positions.
> It makes me despair of business models which require growth to be chased at all costs. I wish more businesses could be content to just get to the point where they are making money, and then just keep making that much money and being ok with that.

I really wish anti-capitalist sentiment would grow louder in IT. This is pretty much capitalist critique 101. Companies chasing profit are often blind not only to the negative effects of their businesses, but even to the needs of their customers.

It's extremely difficult for companies to stay content in their current business model without growing. If the company is not willing to be sold to a larger company, a larger company (often FAANG) will pump nearly limitless capital into building a free competitor that will eat your userbase. This happens over and over again, so it's not very practical to just say "companies should stay where they are good at". The system disincentivizes this, and companies staying still will always get knocked down.

We need a systemic change.
You're really underestimating Discord's free layer. I have a server that's literally just me which I've dumped tons of images and videos into.

There was one but it was taken off the market. It's a bit of a sad story because it worked but because of unfounded claims that it had side effects, it lost trust of the public:

"In clinical trials involving more than 10,000 people, the vaccine, called LYMErix, was found to confer protective immunity to Borrelia in 76% of adults and 100% of children with only mild or moderate and transient adverse effects. [...] Subsequently, hundreds of vaccine recipients reported they had developed autoimmune and other side effects. Supported by some advocacy groups, a number of class-action lawsuits were filed against GlaxoSmithKline, alleging the vaccine had caused these health problems. These claims were investigated by the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control, which found no connection between the vaccine and the autoimmune complaints.

Despite the lack of evidence that the complaints were caused by the vaccine, sales plummeted and LYMErix was withdrawn from the U.S. market by GlaxoSmithKline in February 2002, in the setting of negative media coverage and fears of vaccine side effects.",

For real, one of the most glaring fault with Reddit is the power disconnect between admins and moderators.

It's like going to a restaurant and finding out the FOH are there because they're big fans of the food. Oh and they can also dictate how the cooks do their job.

There needs to be people on Reddit's payroll watching over the moderators of big/default subs.
There's an assumption being made here that I've seen many people treat as an axiom. You say:

> Targeted advertising allows some businesses to exist that otherwise would not exist.

That's true, but in the argument, it carries the implicit assumption that those businesses existing is a good thing. But this is often not the case. Plenty of businesses exist only because they can dupe enough people with hyper-targeted ads.

More importantly, though, advertising is an ecosystem. Companies buying ads are only part of the money flow. The more problematic part are the companies showing those ads. There you can find many[0] examples of companies that should not exist, and yet they do, because there's money in showing ads. Those companies always have some kind of bait to lure viewers onto their sites, where they'll be subject to ads. Because of the ad money, those sites displace legitimate efforts that try to provide actual value in the same space the ad-powered sites just use as their bait.

It's a long topic, and this is just one small aspect of it.

the only thing the proposed change does is encode something that is already factual: if you install that glibc package, you have a high likelihood of breaking your system.

it's not like we are blocking it in apk-tools, and you can roll your own musl package with the conflict removed by simply building it with the `ALLOW_GLIBC_PKG` option.
That's also considered unacceptable, and the reason variants are now assigned sequential names from the phonetic alphabet, hence "Delta Variant".

It was, and was about 80% effective IIRC. The problem is most tests look for antibodies. So how do you know you're not in the 20%? I believe many people were still beeing treated regardless of the vaccine. I believe the manufacturer also had some legal issues due to adverse events.

Prepare to read the headline "mRNA vaccine trial for <...>" a lot in the future. My guess is that they are going to produce mRNA versions of basically any vaccine (and then some) in the future. The nice thing about the technology seems to be that you only need to exchange the mRNA payload while the surrounding delivery method can be reused. That makes it not only a fast method to create a vaccine but a very convenient way as well. Nice side effect might be that for the next pandemic, we might have doses for everyone ready at the moment the trials are done.

Hey HN - At my last SaaS company, I tried all the subscription analytics platforms out there, but they each lacked some things I wanted:
1. Drill down to customer level detail for metrics

2. Ability to inspect the data pipeline and calculations from raw data to final metric

3. Direct SQL access to the modeled data

I've been hacking on Pulse for a few months and it's now ready for beta. Pulse is:

1. Transparent - Easily drill down and see how metrics are calculated at the customer level

2. Free & Open source - It's easy to self host, but there's also a free hosted version here: https://pulse.trypaper.io/.

3. Extensible - Have some weird edge case you need to exclude? You can update your data model with a little SQL and you always have direct SQL access to your data.

4. Push first - Metrics can be pushed to Slack, Sheets, and email so you don't need to check yet another dashboard. The integrations work out of the box, no janky Zapier workflows are needed.

Wanted to ask this, but saw this thread on LMS:

How standardised are the loan management systems that you can track loan performance in real time? Seeing that you mention spreadsheets. Is that viable for you? In the UK most companies track using spreadsheets, which is a mess. Agree on a decent LMS being an opportunity.

Is this targeted primarily at smaller lenders? I suppose most likely smaller ticket cash flow lending?

correct: we do not want to get stuck with having to deal with angry people who have unstable environments caused by this.
