> I have zero interest in a setup that seems to benefit only a small number of parties

Heads up, it's not only giant companies that are restricted by Non-Commercial licenses. Also, Non-Commercial licenses apply regardless of whether or not the finished product is made available in a way that respects user freedoms. CC BY-NC can't be used for commercial products even if they're made available under CC licenses.

It's totally fine for you to like those licenses, I've used them in the past, I've used straight-up proprietary licenses in the past that gave my users zero freedom. But "freedom" is a completely orthogonal concept to whether or not you as a creative have the ability to monetize your work.

When you look at restrictive licenses that are actually free (like the GPL), you see that they're not interested in restricting what the software is used for, just what terms derivative products can be made available under. Note that the article does not say that Share-Alike licenses are non-free. But Non-Commercial licenses are a world away from that, they restrict actual usage for everyone big and small, which yeah, that's less free. Of course it's less free, you have to have a really weird definition of freedom to disagree with that.

And what's weird about this conversation is nobody's even arguing about whether Non-Commercial licenses are good, or even if they're good for preserving freedom in the long run. The article itself says:

> Isn't prohibiting the usage of some artefacts for commercial purpose good for free artefacts? Maybe it is. May be it is not. That is irrelevant while deciding whether a license is considered free or not.

It would be totally fine to say, "sometimes NC licenses are more appropriate for some projects than Free (as in speech) licenses." It would be totally fine to say, "sometimes Free (as in speech) licenses make it easy to take advantage of creators." Both of those statements are true. They're just apparently not enough.

It feels weirdly appropriative for proprietary devs to step in and champion themselves as the real defenders of freedom because they're solely focused on economics instead of what ordinary users can actually do with their content/software. Next up we'll be hearing people claim that Copyright itself is the real freedom-preserving system because Copyright-abolition just makes it easy for Disney to steal things. If we got rid of Copyright, then indie artists wouldn't be able to monetize their work, and if you think that world is "free" then you have a different definition than me of "freedom". /s
US Home prices rose in June at record annual pace
By that argument the GPL is not free because it prevents me from (legally) stripping all the copyrights off and incorporating all the code into a commercial product.
Just trying it out now, but why is it not good for products?

I think such an element would be welcome, and make it easier to add 3D elements to websites. A while ago I wanted to share some 3D models with people, but there weren't any good options. I found a couple sites that lets you upload .obj files, but you need an account and they worked by embedding renderers in iframes. If 3D models had better browser support I hope there would emerge some sites that would let you upload and share them as easy as regular images now.

I don't think it's stranger than having a video tag even though we could embed video without it previously. Having a dedicated 3D tag would make websites more semantic. Hiding stuff in canvas tags like Googles Flutter is the wrong way to go, so bringing stuff out of canvas tags when possible should be encouraged.

Edit: I also think this can be compared to the svg tag. Sure, you could use canvas and webgl and render a 2D vector image using some javascript library. But with svg, you don't have to, and you can style it with css etc.

I don't agree with the tag name though. IMO, "model" is a singular 3D object. Such a tag should support scenes with multiple objects in them.
You'll notice the post you're responding to never mentioned anything close to "standing on the sidelines".

A common tactic used by evangelist partisans is to paint centrists as 'undecided' on some issues and therefore just as evil as the enemy.

In reality these people are as opinionated as any partisan on individual topics.

So when you have Apple and Google (two gorillas) how do you imagine "free competition" happening without state intervention?
"significant enough for Apple and Google to not just pull out it’s business from South Korea and call it a day."

I always found this line of argument disingenious and disturbing.

Disingenious because it doesn't happen historically, so it sounds like a tired threat

Disturbing - are we saying we would rather kneecap our democratic institutions, right or wrong, than live without iPhones?

We'd die to defend our lands and laws from demands of foreign governments, but fold to demands of foreign megacorps?
At this point in my life I definitely wouldn't try to date a conservative. The cultural gaps between cosmopolitanism and (everything else) have become increasingly large, especially for a person of color like myself. With that said, nobody's really knocking down my door to go out with me either, so I'm mostly just a choosing beggar.

The New York Times - "Feel Bad About Everything, Always"

Remote work is amazing, net on net it vastly improves lives, reduces commute time / traffic / car pollution, reverses the decades long trend of economic activity centralizing in a few boom cities, and I believe will reduce inequality longterm as workers will be able to get good, high-paying jobs no matter where they live.
Yes, but something you can't manipulate client side because we don't want those hippies to have control of the next web thing this time.
> the assertion that all shadowbanning

How can you know this? The community is what it is as a result of the discourse that happens here. If you remove one person that discourse, and therefor the community, has changed. So shadowbanning being harmful is more of an opinion of whether all voices should be heard or not.

> I'm not sure what you're asking. If you're asking if showdead is on by default on HN, no, it's not, and I don't think it should be.

I know it’s not, and I think it should be. It’s quite easy these days to have a pop up say “want to see all of the conversation? turn off this setting” and guide the user to turn it off with an easy way to turn it on. In fact, ideally, this censoring would happen on the client configured by rules created by the owner.

> as long as they try to align their behavior with the community

You do realize that everybody aligning means everybody is the same right? What happened to diversity? (cue “some opinions don’t matter” statement)

How is the percentage that low? Maybe iPhone Safari is to blame?

It's not quite as bad as things were ten, fifteen years ago, where not using an ad blocker was just begging to get your machine pwned, but it's still bad.
That specific message is ill-advised. A significant portion of that message could be transmitted safely and would be way better than "Nah, not going to key the mic at all unless it's encrypted..."

"Katie and Uncles Bob and Jim are all moving from X to Y. We're armed only with our AR-15s and have plenty of ammo. We had to leave behind a few other things at the house, but we're moving safely and expected at Y before dark."

If the family knows they don't own any AR-15s and don't have any uncles named Bob or Jim, the message is received (or enough of it to be practically useful without being an unneeded forfeiture of OpSec).
> Obviously Brainfuck and other turing tarpits are esolangs and not meant for industrial use.

You’re contradicting yourself here. Turing tarpits are literally the end point of the quest for simplicity, and are indeed easy to learn, easy to implement, and easy to formally specify.
Not op.

Where I live, about 75 % of the population used to be serfs during feudal times.

While we have bad jobs until today, nowhere near 75 % of the population does them. A lot of the worst, most backbreaking and repetitive activity is now done by machines.

My ancestors who were subsistence farmers ran away into heavy industrial jobs in the 1920s because they considered life of an industrial worker easier. Subsistence farming is hell.

Back in the 1980s, there was a paper published[1] that compared a number of database systems, and Oracle felt this paper harmed them.

This is rather an argument why the benchmark code should be made public so that other people can check it and vendors can post modified versions if they feel treated unfairly.
Also looking at the power of lobby (mostly the power of big biz) in politics, combined with the two-party system (where big biz can easily support both sides), I think we see a much bigger enemy of democratic discourse.

The problem is that TypeScript does not scale to the size of the giant monorepo at Facebook, with hundreds of thousands, if not millions of files. Since they aren't organized into packages, it is just one giant flat namespace (any JS file can import any other JS file by the filename). It is pretty amazing to change a core file and see type errors across the entire codebase in a few seconds. The main way to scale in TypeScript is Project References, which don't work when you haven't separated your code into packages. (Worked at Facebook until June 2021).
What magical software and hardware combination are you using, where there are less issues on Linux than on Windows?
That's not how it works. You are supposed to cycle creative to prevent people from going 'ad blind.' People tune out creative they have seen too many times. Any book on advertising, any of the best practices documentation provided by Google, FB, or other ad sellers, all of them will support the practice of cycling creative, even if the variations are minor. Think of Budweiser cycling the 'Wazzap' joke in the 90s/2000s through variations on the commercial.
Well, that does explain Ayn Rand.
> It feels weirdly appropriative for proprietary devs to step in and champion themselves as the real defenders of freedom

A proprietary developer offering something that gives the user full control of their data and full privacy is championing freedom more than an open source developer who uses FOSS as a lever to herd people into a surveillance capitalist we-own-your-data ecosystem.

Cloud is the new closed.
I'm on a Mac, reproducing the value adds on here would mean running more than just a Linux desktop, I'd also need a server somewhere running all sorts of things to give me what I get from iCloud, which I would then need to maintain, not just for me but for family members. All in all, switching to Linux would be a massive drain on what little free time I have in life, with little to no benefits (YMMV).

They have that right they can choose to not develop on Apples platform.

If you ignore the trend and stick to a single version of any language you've mentioned the churn would have been minimized. Therefore it is not a (core) language problem but a social or ecosystem problem. Not to say that it is not a problem, but it would be probably nothing to do with anything you've claimed in the OP.
> You'll notice the post your responding to never mentioned anything close to "standing on the sidelines".

That's a fair criticism. I suppose I was responding to the attitude I perceived from the comment rather than the words themselves. I'll admit that what I said may not apply to the GP at all.
Not exactly the same, but a similar question is then: "Canvas exists, why do we need an image element?"
Nope, he covered it.
Yes! It's a huge peeve of mine when two well-meaning free software projects can't share code because of unintentional licence incompatibility. Throwing non-commercial licences into the mix would worsen things a lot.
The Fed is a participant in that auction with a large ($80B/month) budget and a target interest rate of 0-0.25%, though. You don't have much of an incentive to bid low if you know the Fed is going to swoop in and buy the bonds anyway.
I’m annoyed at the realization that Safari will likely support this before it supports WebM or Ogg.
I'm weird because I have a couple of older MacBooks, but my primary OS, even for web dev, is iPadOS. I use Textastic as my primary IDE for Node/JS/HTML and Blink to log into my remote servers and my Raspberry Pi.

For me, as someone who does a lot of music and recording, Mac was always the 800 lb gorilla - Windows could never touch Mac in terms of giving OS priority to the audio layer, etc. Linux I don't even bother with, because I have zero desire to dick with Jack/ALSA to just get stuff down. Also, I use Ableton Live as my main desktop music environment and nothing even comes close on Linux.

But iOS is actually better than MacOS for music, in my opinion. The ecosystem for synths is insane, the touch interface lends itself perfectly to making music, and the apps are a lot cheaper.

Honestly, OS hardly matters anymore for 70% of what most people, even nerds, do for productivity. VS Code runs on everything, most of the business crap is in the browser now, and you can watch and listen to streaming media on anything. If you're a gamer you need a Windows box, if you're a multimedia person you need a Mac, but if not you can use Mint or Elementary or whatever or even a Chromebook as your daily driver and not really notice any significant difference.

(I don't care about desktop environments because I run 99% of my apps full-screen and always have. If I need to have a console open I'll work on my Mac and have my iPad running a mosh or ssh shell, or vice versa.)

I mean, of course, all this goes out the window if you're writing compiled stuff that targets specific platforms, but me, I just do Node and frontend JS and HTML for money, man. I can do that on literally anything. I just use MacOS and iOS because I've got MacBooks and a 12" iPad Pro that weighs nothing that I can pair a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to and use for hours at a cafe or in a park without needing a power outlet.

Currently I'm doing JVM only using Retrofit and Jackson instead of Ktor. Mostly because I know the JVM ecosystem best and supports all my target platforms. It's delightful to work in a big monorepo that shares API models all the way from the backend to the clients.
Short answer to your question is no.

Longer answer:
A cheap commercial sonar isn’t going to find a submarine, even if you know where you’re looking. Submarines are incredible stealthy, and the ocean greatly effects sonar effectiveness, especially from the surface.
Due to how it works, surface sonar is nearly useless when trying to locate a submarine.

A popular joke was for us to surface right in the middle of a fleet during war games, or sneak up behind them and take pictures of people smoking and send them to the surface ship’s captain just to mess with them.

With things like towed sonar arrays, and sonar bouys, the playing field can be evened out a bit, but in all the war games I was in, the surface guys could not find us even we told them exactly where we were.

Now imagine that, with an inexperienced submarine crew doing testing, and a surface ship practically incapable of keeping track of us…

When you get far from other people that becomes the norm. I know of regular people who live in Northern Minnesota without any utilities - they could get it, but they have to pay for the connection. Something like 10 miles to the nearest power pole, they could connect to, and the utility wants more than $10,000/mile (which isn't price gouging, if you look at the labor and materials this is their cost). That area is relatively populated compared to some western states.
ReScript, a Fully Typed JavaScript Alternative
Hm I'd never considered that angle. I buy that it is an effect, but I'm not confident it's general or stronger than other effects (often in the other direction).

For instance, in my neighborhood, (market rate) landlords generally want new residential development, because it's seen as something that will have a gentrifying effect on the area and bring up property values in general. That mentality presumably doesn't apply to neighborhoods that are already rich, though.
You essentially say that a web dev and an GUI desktop programmer, are both programmers even though they can't do each others job, but a data scientist who programs all day is not a programmer? That seems like a pretty arbitrary distinction. I would agree with the OP, that data scientists are often essentially programmers they just require a very different skill set than an web dev, but their required skill-set is probably closer to a compiler programmer than the web-dev is.

It's got to be clickbait. If there are winners, then how many workers are losing by working remotely? It seems obvious that the vast majority of people win big by not being forced to commute into a full day at an office where they would rather not be.
I think you are totally right about the self motivation part. I’d wonder though is it just that people who aren’t motivated are easier to see in a remote work setting vs the office as you judge people by their tangible outputs alone. In the office setting this is obscured but the same cohort aren’t actually doing anything more or less.

Absolutely. The German constitution mandates students be able to obtain religious education in public school as part of regular curriculum, prohibits the government from interfering in any religious organization and mandates that the government collect member tithes as part of tax collection for any religious group registered as a PLC at their request.

The ruling party of Germany is expressly religious, the Christian Democratic Union. There's religious pluralism in Germany and all religions have the same benefits, but the idea of what those religions may do is not so intuitive from us in North America.
Self-actualization when working a job for mere survival doesn't happen because of the job, it would happen in spite of it.

Succeeding in spite of something means that something is an obstacle.

Usually, it's good sense to remove obstacles.

There's little any single person can change in this world, in reality. It's a large and complicated place and most change requires machinations much larger than an individual.

The nature of the work we do while we're alive on this planet is one of the things that humans have the real ability to change.

Modern society does require that we operate interdependently and cross-disciplinarily. We need people working in various strata and with various skillsets, but that doesn't mean one shouldn't pursue their passions.

Why would you reject what you love rather than pursue it? Money? That only makes sense when it's a matter of raw survival, and if it's a matter of raw survival then you're not on the path to self-actualization, you're on the path to cortisol-fueled live-or-die decision making.

Money's not a measure of a person. It's nothing more than a stand-in for energy transfer.

Real value and the road to self-actualization is in your experience in life, and if that is overwhelmingly negative in your day-to-day and you are continually separated from what you love then guess what kind of life you have had?
> But the language is just a tool; it means you can turn your brain off churning out code (or telling others to churn out code) and focus your mind on the REAL problems, for which the code should just be a tool.

By its limitations the tool in question requires churning more code and adds more steps between the “REAL problems” you solved in your minds and the actual implementation of those solutions in-code.

If languages are just irrelevant tools and you have but to focus on the “REAL problems” to solve it all, there’s no reason not to use a turing tarpit. Why are you not doing that?
I don’t use adblocking because if a site is so revolting that it requires adblocking to make it usable, I just don’t visit the site at all.

I used to use adblocking but the tiny site Distrowatch made an impression on me. The owner rigged something so that those using adblock also would not see non-ad images. He said it’s really not fair to visit a free site and then block the thing that allows it to be free.

Also, I then read that one of the adblockers would take payments from advertisers to unblock their ads. What a racket.

So I block no ads. This does mean that I don’t look at the vast bulk of news sites because they have obnoxious ads. However, most decent news sites are now pay walled, and those that aren’t are junk anyway. I get my news from some sites I pay for, and from non-profit email newsletters, and from sites my employer pays for. These have few ads.

So I have found no loss from not using adblock. Adblock is like putting on a bulletproof vest to walk through a warzone. Better to just keep out of warzones.
> Are we nearing any tipping point where local solar becomes a “big thing”?

Probably not, tbh. Its getting a lot cheaper, but its really possible that subsidies will start getting smaller along the same time. In my area, rules to force utilities to allow net metering on good terms are trending weaker as well. The combination hurts solar competitiveness.

If the cost of powerwall type systems fell by at least 50% some of these things might change, as the utility interconnect might not be needed any more.
How American Environmentalism Failed
Boxing training starts at a very young age, especially because parents/kids know the kind of money and fame a professional boxer can achieve. That being said, I take your point on it being part of the high school programs. Begs the question on whether parents should be allowed to put their children into sports with long-term effects at all. As other threads mention, this would be hugely unpopular.
