The one user desktop thing that I find funny Linux does out of the box but Osx and windows dont have is the ability to pin a window to be "always on top" there was a separate unofficial app on Mac that did that (afloat) but Apple managed to make it not work with their updates.

Its 2021 and I cant pin a window always on top? Crazy
They wouldn't need to, because guests and hosts are welcome to use other platforms that exist.

Android OR iOS is an exact duopoly.
This is quite a long reading list, especially if one was to read everything four times as the author suggests.

Personally I enjoy philosophy but in a much less indepth sense.

I have no doubt that after reading all of these books I would become a most unbearable expert on philosophy that considered themselves the smartest person in the room.
But... both purposes 1) and 2) are already served perfectly fine with the current exception models already: you catch Exception at the very top-level in the "last chance handler", and if during testing an unexpected exception is thrown, it bubbles up past the existing handlers right into this "last chance handler". What does re-wrapping help with, exactly?
Unfortunately, the people who make a career out of recruiting people into jobs are even worse

Well, see, I'm reasonably comfortable with using NC so long as I'm not selling or being directly paid for something. Otherwise, pretty much everything I have in public is associated with my job at a commercial enterprise or other business in some manner and I effectively can't use NC for anything non-trivial. So, without surveying the rest of HN, we already disagree on a wide swath of use and probably wouldn't change each other's minds.
So if I go on and post “misinformation”, which is defined by the left as anything antinarative (see all the “you ain’t black” claims) then what?
Ubuntu is a very bad example of a linux distro.
I think this is where I disagree. I'm all for identifying corporate exploitation of free software, but this isn't it. If I work to enrich the commons, and as a result someone profits, I don't think harm has been done to me. Sure, it might feel bad to know that someone is profiting because of my work and they couldn't spare anything for me, but ultimately, I didn't expect to make any money when I did the work. I would have done it anyway. It's really hard to see how I've been harmed here.
It's interesting to see that this issue is rather controversial within the Rugby/NFL world, whereas other sports it's almost a given?

Boxing, for example, has pretty damaging long-term side-effects with notable legends dying prematurely. But nobody is really making Hollywood movies about it (like Concussions starring Will Smith). I wonder whether Rugby/NFL is just headed towards the direction of these sort of consequences becoming accepted as being 'part of the sport'.
I'm wonder what method Apple and Google will use to comply. Current GPS location? Market where the phone was sold? Cellular carrer? Something else?
My revenue wouldn't necessarily increase(unless maybe price reduction drives the sales enough), my costs due to Apple's commission will decrees and my development and legal costs will increase.
That Quine thing probably uses almost none of the Linux kernel API. Some of the language runtimes do some interesting things, but even fancy ones like V8 are not that challenging in terms of kernel APIs.

So I don't know anything about Illumos Linux zones, but if they run rr or docker or Firefox or WINE I'll be stunned. (Note that Firefox, rr and docker (by default) use seccomp-bpf syscall filtering which would be an absolute beast to implement in your Linux compatibility layer.)
It could be as simple as checking tax records: in Germany, tithing is incorporated directly into tax declarations and payroll systems.
I'm working on a version of this: https://instadeq.com/
I think it's important to be careful, when one identifies as "outside the system", that one is not actually advancing the cause of one of the "sides". In particular, when the status quo is unjust, saying that you don't identify with either the left or the right often means that you're OK with the status quo. I'm not saying this is an inherently wrong position, just that it's important to be aware of whose interests are served by you standing on the sidelines.
Sorry for not being clear, I think the error is in the comment above yours. I think your comment is very level headed.
Could it be mitigated by splitting the ownership between multiple people? So you would need N of M employees to approve a transfer?
I think the BRICS system is likely. But we will have to wait and see!
> The experiences from other developers always seem a bit off, like something is not right.

That's the point.

Agile is difficult to do exactly right. When done wrong my perception is that is produces far more dysfunction and stress at an individual level than alternative project management methodologies.

If you've heard the fitness saying, "the best workout plan is the one you stick to," my feelings about project management are pretty similar. Agile may be great, but if your organization isn't capable of sticking to its central ideas then it's just not going to work. In that situation you're better off picking a methodology that's less efficient but easier to implement (like waterfall).

There are also some fundamental challenges presented by the methodology that are genuinely difficult to deal with. These tend to be ignored and then they manifest as dysfunction elsewhere in the system.
This is not a swap out DBs thing. This is a "have the ability to tweak all of the config options from a connection string with no code changes"

You'd still get the correct client for your DB. You'd just not need to plan ahead to accept parameters.
The product indirectly tells you the criteria for accepting the risk as-is, but it doesn't give you any insight into how to reduce the risk. That's what severity and likelihood are for. You need all three together.
This is true. Period. Controlling the use of software is always not free. If I made a project with a license that said that anyone can use the software except for those who control the use of their software, I wouldn't be able to use my own software. As far as the developer goes, you can license your code however you like. But don't claim the moral high ground. These non commercial licenses are no different than proprietary software.
Quite recently, a different group already adopted the term "ethical license". Ironically for licenses that attempt to discriminate against certain groups of people, thus also violating both the OSI and FSF definitions.

So yes, that is apparently already thing now and distinct from "free" or "open source".

Who says it has to seen as rising above others, rather than simply living up to your own ideals?

Is it wrong to have standards just because some people won't meet them?

The fact some people get off on perceived superiority is a separate issue, and not one that will be quashed by treating all work as morally equivalent.
I can switch to Vrbo or even just Craigslist.

I don't lose out on reaching ~100% of customers, because Apple and Google control access to effectively 100% of customers and act like a duopoly.
> Then by all means, please charge me separately for these things. Because I don’t need them. Apple doesn’t do marketing for me, never promoted my app. People find my app through my own marketing channels.

This, maybe it was different in the early days but they do literally nothing to help you market your app until you've already driven enough traffic to it yourself for them to take notice.

If you do get featured you get an email indicating that you might get featured and need to design and submit app store banner artwork with a whole list of things that you're not allowed to display.

Nice summarization.

Be even nicer if it had a link or two for each option stated.
Based on the comments so far, I think I'm in the minority who think this would be a good feature for the web. This proposal might not be perfect, but I think the idea is great.

There's lots of good reasons to semantically want to embed a 3d model in a page, like any other type of media. Say you're writing a course explaining how differential gears work - a 3d model of that could be really handy to look at to learn. A shoe company wanting to have a model of their sneakers in their shop.

Sure we've got canvas, and WebGL, and WebGPU, and libraries like three.js, which work. But wow you gotta get a lot of JS slapped together to just get something rendering. E.g. I wonder how long transit spent getting a truck rendering on this page. https://panic.com/transmit/

The other challenge of doing everything yourself is that code is stuck in time. It's going to get very minimal benefits from browsers and devices getting better over time, it won't get native UI changes - in 5 years it'll look very dated, if it's still accessible.

A model element makes a lot of sense to me.
> WebGL exists, why do we need a budget restricted version of a model viewer in the browser?

WebGL support on safari is ropey at best why would apple implement a standard written by some one else when they can create a new standard no one asked for?
So, for example, if the bulk of the customers in Korea might be using Samsung Pay, you might just want to keep integrating with that instead of also having to provide Apple mechanisms, and maybe restructure your price since Apple imposes its tax?
Could things change if the Tories were to lose power?

There was a lot of all-white communities in the USA back then, though. In those, people would search for other ways to think less of their neighbors.

AFAIK Kennedy as the first Catholic president was considered somewhat of an outsider.

Improved transportation won't get you the choicest pieces of real estate because you still won't be allowed there. It will make the public places even more crowded perhaps.

Some of what expensive real estate buys you is the _lack_ of other people.
Presumably that's the Special Ironing Service (SIS) at work?
>and its present meaning is related to the OSI

Not unless you work for the OSI, least you forget they actually tried to get it patented and got rejected: https://opensource.org/pressreleases/certified-open-source.p...

I'm happy for OSI proponents to use the legally approved version of licenses that support their ideology as OSI approved licenses.

I will keep using open source to means software where the source code is open, as has been the case since the 80s and 90s, the latter of which I was around to use before OSI popped up and tried to privatize language for their own benefit.
The naming is unfortunate.

But also, it'd be pretty cool if this was implemented as a browser extension, that way it could be much faster to iterate over.

I wonder why this is not common practice? Modifying browser internals is such a pain that it strikes me as odd that it is the 1 established way of going about this proposals.
Also don't forget the role of economic growth & opportunity. America is a country where millions of immigrants have put aside their cultural differences for the pursuit of money.

Note that in areas where there is still a reasonable chance of getting rich - coastal California, for example, or NYC - people are still willing to put aside their differences to get rich. At least among the people who are actually getting rich. Chinatown or the Sunset in SF have all sorts of AAPI hate crimes, while 50 miles south in Cupertino, Chinese, Indians, and white people work side-by-side in cube farms while enjoying their Apple stock.
It is not necessarily bad, but a language with a large standard library isn't small. The article prominently features the benefit of small languages, which (I only agree partly but notwithstanding) wouldn't apply to a language with a large standard library no matter the size of the core language. Therefore the article's final claim is invalid, no matter it actually turns out to be true or not.
> Battery software isn't good.

Have you tried using TLP ?
There are almost constant rule changes around the tackle laws, the breakdown and de-powering the scrum to reduce the amount of potential head trauma, but the professional era it's like an arms race. Even padding and head-gear, players seem to hit with even more force. And, like the article says, a lot of the concussions happen during the training sessions which is way more than the average amateur player would experience. It's still relatively soon to see the longer-term effects; the early batch of professionals from the mid/late 90s will soon be entering their 60s and I expect there will be more research papers..
I think I recall your name from Reddit.

But while race definitely mattered (and more), religion mattered in-race as well. Same thing for casteism in India. Religion matters, but so does caste even within Hinduism.
I don't mind new capabilities, but I hate how many new browser features are "standards" invented by Google for their own products which everyone else have to implement to remain a competitive browser.

Not fan of the prospect of Apple doing the same. If I wanted to make what Apple is making, I would have to rely on webgl. Them inventing something for their own use case when other stuff exists feels just unnecessary. Their proposal also includes a 3d format no one uses (except them I guess), as an attempt to shoehorn it in or something.
This article really isn't about remote work writ large, it's about websites/organizations that provide platforms for individuals to sell services to consumers. The fact that you can make popular workout videos from your home is orthogonal to the behavior of consumers on the Peloton platform.

It's an interesting and important observation that good communicators win disproportionately as telecommunications get better - e.g. because recorded music is a thing, as a songwriter/guitarist I'm competing with Frank Zappa for mindshare. But this just isn't about remote work. Feel like I got clickbaited.
Dont give Google Maps and YouTube ideas. Wait...
How do you get things like nulls or arbitrary bytes into a string? The string literal format seems to only understand \r and \n and \t. Nothing like \xff or \0, for example. And I don't see ord(), chr() or similar.
Unpopular opinion: I like it the way it is now, from end user’s perspective. I don’t want to share my payment info with apps. I like all being in one place and handled by Apple. I’d be even ok eating up the difference, if it meant it stays the same.
The mRNA vaccines are causing some cases of myocarditis, however the absolute risk is still low.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/fullarticle/...

Prior infection does seem to provide better protection than vaccination against future symptomatic infections. But it's also possible that vaccination after infection could give a further boost to immunity.

https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/94258

We already know that the vaccines aren't very effective at stopping people from catching SARS-CoV-2 infections. However they remain very effective at preventing deaths. The vast majority of patients dying now are unvaccinated.
Why not? You can do that in the US too.
Since this is HN, could you please share more technical/impl details, e.g. what makes it more scalable and faster in general and also compared to other similar engines?
And yet there was a systemic change last year. The system objective changed from brainless growth to saving human lives, and the Jenga game holded.
I don't want to romanticize the pandemic but it disproved the TINA hipotesis (there is no alternative)
As Donella Meadows pointed out [1], the most powerful leverage point is to change the objective of the system. We can make it if we start to be citizens and be involved politically. Let’s be involved in movements like extinction rebellion and Fridays for the future. And most of all let's question growth and employment as the goal of society.

Just to be clear, by "revenue", I'm referring to revenue after Apple's or the payment processor's cut.
In addition to the privacy concerns with native applications, they're almost always insecure. One thing that is nice about modern browsers is that (despite Safari's leisurely update cycle) they are actually relatively secure, as far as software goes. Threats to the average user of Chrome are things like phishing, rather than RCE, and tab isolation keeps things from escalating out of control.

Contrast that to the now ubiquitous conferencing software solutions, and it seems like every day there's some zero-day RCE vulnerability or other spooky exploit.

If we needed to install and run a dozen different closed-source executables from BigCorp et al., I predict that we'd very soon go back to security dark-ages.
It's clear that people are just doing this...ironically.
Great story thanks for sharing!
You, the dev. Not you the client, hence the user. It's closed software by design, and we all have seen where it leads to.
Randy and Amy had spent a full hour talking to Scott and Laura last
night; they were the only people who made any effort to make Amy feel
welcome. Randy hadn't the faintest idea what these people thought of him and
what he had done, but he could sense right away that, essentially that was
not the issue because even if they thought he had done something evil, they
at least had a framework, a sort of procedure manual, for dealing with
transgressions.

To translate it into UNIX system administration terms
(Randy's fundamental metaphor for just about everything), the post modern,
politically correct atheists were like people who had suddenly found
themselves in charge of a big and unfathomably complex computer system (viz,
society) with no documentation or instructions of any kind, and so whose
only way to keep the thing running was to invent and enforce certain rules
with a kind of neo Puritanical rigor, because they were at a loss to deal
with any deviations from what they saw as the norm. -- Cryptonomicon, 1999

Rehashing the PC wars of the mid-90s has been a continual experience of deja vu combined with a fairly appalled horror at finding out how many of my peers fell for it twice.
Because boxing is a minor sport in comparison. Way to many billions at stake in football and rugby.
Boxing is somewhat popular to watch, but we don’t have high school boxing with large numbers of participants at most schools. I am fine with adults taking such risks with their own bodies knowing the risks, but it’s another thing when public school teams enter the equation.

Replacing full contact high school football with say flag football or soccer would be unpopular, but continuing is an ethically dubious proposition.
i hear more about wind than solar these days. 20 years ago i thought most homes would have some solar by now.

where i lived we lose power once or twice a year. Many people have natural gas backup generators. my understanding is rooftop solar feeds the grid and not a house directly. So, millions of homes have backup generators

Are we nearing any tipping point where local solar becomes a “big thing”?
I think you are seriously overestimating the "programming proficiency" of many scientists. I don't think the OP meant that scientists should be experts in the web stack or even in the intricate details of the scientific stack. However, I do expect that they should know how to write reasonable maintainable code, i.e. use functions, modules, don't just copy paste code around between cells etc.. (this is seriously the state of much of the scientific programming world).

>The quantity of information required to be learned is of one or two orders of magnitude, because the field of maths required to perform physics is quite stable, and well understood.

Apart from the fact that some areas of physics are really at the forefront of maths, this also ignores the fact that learning the level of proficiency required for graduate work in physics is significantly more involved than learning about some best practices in programming.
Unlikely. Indian market is the furthest thing possible from a free market.

With Google's immense investments in Jio, the company of Ambani, it is very unlikely. Ambani is in entente with Modi, the Prime Minister.
The backend and client libraries will be fully open source. That's the only way a self-hosted project like this can work.

I'm not sure about the android/desktop apps. I might keep them commercial for a bit to experiment with an open-core monetization strategy.

Give me a couple weeks to iron out architecture details and write some design docs and then I'll publish the project on GitHub. Shoot me an email if you're interested.
The Deployment Fidelity Problem
What, uh, is this? This is a space that I’m not familiar with and the linked site doesn’t make it super clear.
Micropayment are a non-starter, and even if they weren't, you'd still have ads. There are companies lined up willing to pay money to show you something they want to sell you, and even if your favorite news site was micropayment enabled, even the most righteous media companies would be fools not to keep taking that money to expand their ability to give you more and better news, as an example.

But to my first point, they are a non-starter because too much of the world has trouble managing their money, and mentally don't want to pay for something until they've seen it. Why should I pay a dollar to read an article that might be poorly written, full of inaccuracies, etc.?

The closest model I've seen to working is twitch. You have a central content platform, with silly cosmetic awards for subscription, and a sense of "credibility" among others there in interactions because you've been subscribing for x amount of time. This would require a more interactive news service, and hell, that I would pay for. If I read an article by an expert who answered (reasonable) follow up questions and owned their journalism, that would be incredible.
Regular HEPA filters should be able to filter these, but I'll admit I don't know what size these particles are. If they're single molecules it may be a problem.
Debian has a "non-free" repository. Perhaps it needs a tag for source-available licenses that are not unencumbered enough for core Debian.
But why another hardware appliance in the home? I'm turned off by having another hardware device at my home.

If it instead was a turnkey solution or a virtual appliance, that I could put besides my already existing instances, that might catch my interest.
Can you explain the steps necessary to display a 3D model using WebGL? (without using any 3rd party libraries). Could it possibly be easier than just pointing `src` to the URL of a model file?
