> The hierarchical nature of traditional filesystems is great when you want to "visit" everything

Not really more than tags. Tags are superior to hierarchy of folders when a content can belongs to several folders. If you have very different folders, like 'Finance' and 'My pictures' then folders are going to be better. The issue with tags, is that if they are not restricted to a folder, you will have hundreds of them and you will have a hard time managing them.

The best trade off I have found is to create a hierarchy of fat folders (a few very distinct big folders) and a different tags taxonomy inside each one of them. If you want to tags content of different folders you need a new tag taxonomy only for cross tagging content.

To sum up:

- Hierarchical folders

- Each folder has its own tag list

- A Meta tags list to tag cross-folders content (which I prefer to call "collections")
I remember that too and I am was told by a software engineer at the time that that was the future. And it kind of was pre Internet. You had to be in a big box store on a PC. Post Internet, I think we will see a lot of "no code solutions" that develop but I think that there will still be room for software engineers plus software is eating the world so the opportunities are basically limitless. I mean it use to be 10k+ for a website with a form handler and now basically anyone can make a decent one for free if they want.
Perhaps the archives are incomplete?

I agree. Luckily (a) is slowly changing thanks to ebikes (you can even get child ebikes now!)
You say this as if it were a bad thing.

And while it may be hyperbolic to literally slice engineers, anyone who engaged in a criminal conspiracy (from coder to CEO) could be tried and, if convicted, jailed. Having this happen broadly would certainly be illuminating for anyone working in this space in the future.
I lived in Amsterdam for 5 years. I'm not entirely sure what your talking about with the pedestrian path being beside the cycle lane. They are normally on two different levels, there is a curb. I also never found it that dangerous to be a pedestrian. I have seen many many tourists walk in the cycle lanes though, or step into them without looking, and almost get hit. Honestly to me it kinda sounds like you were walking in the bike lane. I think there is some learning curve in getting used to all of the bikes around, but it really isn't dangerous. Also I can confirm that in the 5 years I lived there I was never hit by a cyclist. however when a family member came to visit, they walked right out into a bike lane without looking and almost did get hit.
It's sort of amazing how people are boosting this lawsuit up to the front page of HN dozens of times over three days, without really seeming to grasp that it is one side of a civil law suit, and that anyone would be a fool to take a filing like this at face value. It's a little thin on evidence, don't you think?

Normally when the attorneys general of Kentucky and South Dakota put their heads together about something, the rest of us point and laugh. But when they put together a document that looks like the top 1000 most-unhinged HN comments from users like `ocdtrekkie`, critical thinking gets thrown under a bus and it's 100% pure credulity.
In Cambridge there are housing estates from the mid-19th century, and there are housing estates developed this century. That statement is just not true.
From my experience most commercial software licenses are much harder to understand. Especially if you want to redistribute commercial software and do not want to pay for it, it gets very complicated.
That’s a remarkable take. Asking people to be honest is unreasonable? Asking people to be truthful in conducting research is unreasonable?

What’s next? Expecting people to not steal is “too much pressure” and pushing people to crime?

Pretty sure society would crumble under your model.
It is amazing just how many people draw conclusions from having visited Amsterdam for coffeeshops and the Red Light District, without having cycled or gone outside of Amsterdam's city center.

The city center in Amsterdam is not the Netherlands, and it's not even the rest of Amsterdam. When you talk about how difficult it is for pedestrians in Amsterdam, that's a clear sign you're not a local and that you don't know what you're talking about.

Amsterdam's city center is historic, largely unchanged from almost half a millennium ago in terms of structure, with millions of tourists coming every year to visit. Take a 20 minute walk outside the touristic spots and you might be extremely surprised.
Did he enable a boot pin or are the drives just encrypted?
Some of these line items are really obtuse and in some cases just not right, "Don't search in binary files" and "Treat binary files as if they were text" for example caught my eye - GNU grep has the `--binary-files` option which supports both of these features. Others like "can pipe output to a pager" seem like a half-hearted attempt to give a +1 to a specific tool while ignoring that you can... pipe the output of any of them using... a pipe.

In modern cryptography...

The NSA improved the DES cipher but declined to explain how it works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard#NSA's... . The successor, AES / Rijndael, was selected in an open competition.

They designed SHA-0 but quietly revised it to become SHA-1, which was in widespread use for over a decade; SHA-256 and SHA-512 which are in widespread use today. Again, the successor, SHA-3 / Keccak, was selected in an open competition.

They designed the notorious Dual EC DRBG (Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generator) which performs poorly and is widely believed to have a backdoor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_EC_DRBG
But not the documents these quotes come from, as far as I can tell.
Linux is the operating system. It manages hardware and provides system calls. It's possible to write software that Linux boots directly into, no user space at all.

This GNU/Linux stuff comes from POSIX's definition of operating system. That piece of paper says operating systems have all these little commands like cp, mv, etc. Therefore, GNU gets to be part of the operating system because it provides those commands. It doesn't have to be this way though, especially on Linux where one can just trash all the GNU stuff and obtain or write custom software directly on top of the kernel.
>And in fact Secure Boot does protect against Grandma being infected by boot-time malware.

And how can grandma get boot time malware at Home? IIRC those were common back in the days when people were plugging in infected floppy disks or thumb drives everywhere and you'd try to boot off them. Can't remember last time I saw this type of malware in the wild as phishing and ransomware is a lot more profitable for malicious actors than boot time malware.

>And when has it ever been the case that it prevented you from installing Linux?

This was always the case ever since secure boot launched and any OS that didn't have it's first stage bootloader signed by Microsoft could not boot. Even To this day, to install arch or puppy on my XPS i had to disable secure boot. Ubuntu and other major distros are fine here though but this gate keeping doesn't make it ok in my book.
I've only used Kotlin for serverside development (Redhat's Quarkus framework) and experimentally Kotlin Native, though it definitely still has the reputation as "That Android language" for sure

I’ve lived in urban cores in the US and never felt like that.
Yes, my take was a little more toward, you don't scale it, you rather replicate lots and lots of small villages.

Having just typed that though, I agree with OP that even lots and lots of these could not replace a dense urban city. You know, unless some plague wiped out 90% of our population.
Doesn't chrome have browsing history sync?
I live in Amsterdam coming from Italy and have lived also in states. I have the opposite experience. Roads in the center are busy but everybody rides at slow speeds even cars and small motorcycles. They all share the canal roads with pedestrians and everyone is careful about each other.

This is also the main thing other countries don’t realize. Bikes here are slow. They’re not meant to be performant. They’re meant to bring you slowly (but steadily) from A to B.

Also I much prefer a busy road full of cyclist with little sidewalk, than a busy road full of cars with dedicate sidewalk. All the noise and smog makes the walking plain terrible and borderline unhealthy.
> And when has it ever been the case that it prevented you from installing Linux?

There was a window, when shim.efi was not signed.

> And in fact Secure Boot does protect against Grandma being infected by boot-time malware.

When it was the case that grandma was infected by boot-time malware? One-half-like malware happened decades ago, and under windows they need administrator rights anyway.
So it's not centralized at all in other words? Because it's an open standard that anyone can implement, both client and server, right?

100% totally decentralized.
I don't think there's an immediately available answer here. The wide branch factor in Clojure's implementation is very iteration-friendly, less so for updates.

Worth checking out are BTrees and Hitchhiker trees, but I think a definitive answer will be implementation dependent even in those cases, i.e. one might win out over the other for a specific branch factor or other tune-able parameters
Not a .NET dev, but hot reload always sounded somewhat sketchy to me. Wouldn't you have a high risk of putting the running process in an effectively undefined state?

After all, you end up with a process that runs code from after your change but using heap memory, threads, file handles and other resources from before your change. Even if the process doesn't crash, this puts it in a unique state that will be irrevocably lost when the process is terminated.

Usually, the industry moves towards more determinism and reproducibility in build processes. Hot reloading seems to go in the exact opposite direction.
> Imagine getting a (binary) copy of GCC and the README said (...)

Just like sibling commenter haukem pointed out, GPL does not mandate that you distribute the source code alongside the binary, as long as there is an official channel to request the source code.

GPL license predates version control, and code often had to be snail-mailed at the time. This can lead to funny situations like famous hacker Naomi Wu dropping by hardware manufacturer offices to get the GPL source code. [0]

So yes, you could distribute a binary version of FunnySoft v1.3, and it could take a few days/weeks/months to get a copy of the actual source code.

> author was trying to express the need for balanced considered approach to change rather than just a blind push to implement what the Dutch have.

I think that's a thoughtful concern, but really, the least of our problems in the USA is traffic planners blindly copying Amsterdam and going overboard with bike infrastructure. That just isn't going to happen. Ever.

On the plus side, there are US-based traffic planning innovations that have demonstrated some success in certain metro areas such as "Complete Streets". There's more of these now than ever before.
I've lived in Amsterdam for 2 years now, and whilst the "fear" of the cyclists has long worn off, there is still considerable inconvenience as a pedestrian. Many busy areas have a pavement only wide enough for 1 or 2 people at a time, meaning you constantly have to walk in the road and compete with the cars and bikes. It can be really quite unpleasant.

That being said in order to maintain the beautiful traditional architecture and layout of the city centre sacrifices must be made, and as a cyclist I also feel the pain of being blocked by pedestrians. Everyone suffers a little bit, which from what I've heard seems to be a dominant Dutch political philosophy reflected in its coalition governments.

AGPL uses GPL wording, it is basically GPL with extra clause.

However, just because FSF thinks linking is enough to make derivative work doesn't mean it necessarily is. I have come to think that GPL isn't good license because of how horribly underspecified it is in that regard.
I would be afraid this approach would rather reinforce the status quo: the needle would slightly move so that people find themselves comfortable being serfs again, rather than encourage to move towards freedom.
Nice, would be better if there are examples of each feature to show how their cli flags map to others
i lived in Amsterdam for 3 days and noticed places where they are on the same level. Are you sure you were paying attention?
I used TagSpaces a bit, it does what it claims and is a decent enough application.

The electron part is less disturbing when you realize it's mostly a GUI, and there is almost nothing it wants to do without your active participation (the reason why I gave up on it). It helps you organize tags in file, but you should be ready to code something yourself if you expected to watch folders and match patterns and auto tag.

Same for sync, it won't have much to do with it, though it seems S3 support has been added.

In the end I didn't see anything I really wanted from it, as finding files by tag is already one click/command away, tagging files isn't crazy complicated either (and when it was, I ended up going back to 'find' anyway), and I had to use cron scripts anyway to deal with sync and new files.

Tagspaces is nice, but I don't know if anyone caring enough about file org to install a dedicated app also will be satisfied with the feature set.
Ok, so what you’re saying is vaccine rollout is working if it’s 0% or 100%.

I don't think that's a long term option at this point, unless you continue to quarantine yourself for the rest of your life.
So imagine you have a class and you wan't to abstract away some stateful logic.
You can use inheritance or mixins. You can use composition. You have to come up with some solution for reactivity, which means setting up observers and disposables. You might have to set up some variables for storing the emissions from those streams.

I currently have to use an Angular-like framework, and my classes usually have 10-50 lines just setting up calls to other abstractions.

Hooks simplify that: setup, teardown, state and reactivity all in a single function call.

I'm not saying they're perfect, I would probably prefer a compiled solution like in Svelte. But when has anything ever been perfect.
I'm sorry your disability prevents you from using keywords or tags, or urls to link to external resources. This must be absolutely crippling for you. I can't imagine how you made it here now given your condition.

I agree, but this seems pretty typical for an initial filing. They don't typically show all their cards. So snippets like:

Could be more, or less interesting, when the actual source document is published.

It looked kind of promising for a while. With the pivot to cloud services, there was reason to hope they just would not care any more about pulling that kind of move for desktop Windows.

I guess after a decade of watching Apple and Google getting away with stuff that Microsoft would have been drawn and quartered for twenty years ago, they decided it was safe for them get back to their old ways.

sigh Would have been nice, though.
> Maybe conciseness isn't the only thing that determines understandability, but it's definitely highly related

Making something short is different from making it concise. The Python version is perfectly concise. There are no distractions or boilerplate. Making it shorter doesn't make it more concise beyond that point.

> My point was that the K version for me is the clearest and most obvious I've seen, and that understanding why it's correct is much easier starting from that than from the equivalent in say, Python or C++.

I think this very unlikely to be correct. The K and the Python are saying the same thing. Understanding why it works is the same problem from either starting point.

Now, I will admit that it's helpful to explicitly express "cumulative sum which is floored at zero" in your implementation, and K pushes you towards that solution, while Python and other languages don't force you into looking at it that way. But that's more about alignment of the most transparent formulation with the language primitives, than it is about shortness.
> This GNU/Linux stuff comes from POSIX's definition of operating system

Technically true. But do you run a lot of software that works without glibc and other userland utilities?

True, yet most of us still use a GNU/Linux distribution.
Wow, even Opera is much less pushy. I know people might have major issues with new Opera ownership, but I've come to love it, whatever. It's Chrome, but way more productive and user-friendly.
ripgrep supports the most common features while still being much faster than ack.

So it's no comparison for me.
In perception, maybe. A curb doesn't slow a car down enough to not end your life, and it's much easier to do even for a driver trying to stay in their lane.
This extensions list can be changed by user via developer settings.
Ha, well pick your battle with an angry car driver and he'll probably shout, gesticulate and then drive away. Do the same with an angry cyclist and the outcome can be somewhat more severe.

I think ground level in city centers should be for pedestrians and less-than-15mph bikes (and other slow vehicles 120kg or less). Everything else is either elevated or subterranean, including bike lanes and most definitely cars and trucks.

Conveyance is a utility like sewer or electricity, and like sewer and electricity, it shouldn’t be flowing at ground level.

Minneapolis has some interesting solutions. The skyway (in both Minneapolis and St. Paul) connects all the buildings in the downtown via elevated (or subterranean) pedestrian pathways, important in the 0 degrees F (-18C) winter. But ideally, you’d flip the situation with the cars and trucks on the non-ground-level with the streets purely for people or low speed and low mass vehicles like bikes.

Minneapolis also has the Greenway, superhighway for bikes that is grade-separated from much of the rest of the city (sitting below, in like a greenery-surrounded canyon, with bridges above), an old railroad route. Pretty fantastic.
Should leaf blowers be banned? Freedom is important but if the result is miserable living you want to escape then perhaps a some kind of rules are viable alternative. Live alone free or join community with rules.

I like the idea of eco village but these projects are often ran by religious cults, I would prefer atheistic and science friendly eco village.
Yup. Also would still take Amsterdam city centre walking (full of bikes & with little pedestrian lanes), instead of most other city centers that have sidewalks but are entirely polluted with noisy and smoggy cars.
Good question and frankly idk.

Could be that that biker meth was also as bad. Could be differences in recipes/precursors/equipment as p2p can be made from hundreds of different ingredients.

I wonder if there are data sets tracking drug impurities that could test the hypothesis.
The normal approach would be the following:

a = ceil(sqrt(N)) = 12772

b2 = (12772+1)*(12772) - N = 13045 <- factorize = 5*2609 <- does not fit in (b+1)*(b)

b2 = (12773+1)*(12773) - N = 38591 <- factorize = 149*259 <- does not fit in (b+1)*(b)

> It's always "you chose the wrong distro!"

I know what you mean, but in this instance the complaint is poor UI/graphics while the distro in question is using a very cut-down desktop environment (running in a VM).
The argument is to hold the decision-makers personally responsible.
