So to truly custom mod mastadon or similar agpl things that could hide some of the secret added sauce.. you could modify the core project to call another code chunk / like a wordpress plugin..
then you'd be required to release copies of your modified source which would just have a new line of code calling for 'other thing'..
it wouldn't have to include the whole 'other thing'
like if you added a line bringing in recaptcha

so essentially you could create right in mastadon, or similar project, but you could also break out separate things, like wordpress themes, wordpress plugins, third party addins..

Is this all right?

I'm trying to remember some of the debate back in the day with licensing and WP themes and plugins and such, although I'm thinking that was a different license.

It certainly seems to me like this is going to end up being a situation where there is a publicly available github thing that has nothing of interest other than a few lines calling for a few extra js calls or something for spam / moderation and not the actual code that is hidden in those addins.

If this is not the case with this type of licensing I'd like to know - I've been itching to deploy a mastadon for a while now and would like to know more about restrictions. abuse vectors, all that.
> My experience developing screenshot/screencast/webcam applications on Wayland has been significantly better than it has been on X11.

I don't believe a word. Even writing just a native hello world application shows the pure ugliness and massive amount of boiler plate required just to put a pixel on the screen. You can take your seat capability pointer and wl registry listener and shove it up your a*. The Wayland API is ugly shit.

Very few webpages link to FTP content. The right thing to do is to outsource that bit of functionality to an FTP client. Continuing to support a protocol that has largely been superseded and is very rarely used is self-evidently wrong.
So how would you personally respond to a user being hostile and saying you are full of crap, when they don't understand the difference between software and hardware? like when I say the CPU doesn't execute x86 instructions and they make a snark comment like "how do you think it runs x86 code?" You have worked on a JIT. You know what translating x86 instructions to arm is in software. You state that.

Now watch someone who doesn't know the basics of the subject correct you in a snarky way.

The appropriate response to a punch is a harder punch. The appropriate response to an antivaxxer telling you the covid vaccine changes your dna is to make fun of him.

Let me guess, you're one of the guys that watches a video that starts with the second punch and confuses the defender and the attacker.

>It really doesn't add anything.

yes, your comment however added quite a bit on the topic, like you bragging you've worked on the instruction translating software the guy knows nothing about. congratulations. you are the man. you've done so much and accomplished so much. i'm glad you took this opportunity to brag about it here. you're adding so much!

It's worth noting that these numbers aren't great indicators of sound quality. A 70 dB SNR is perfectly fine for listening to music. Listening and recording environments often have a worse acoustic SNR than that. Instruments are often recorded with converters and digital/analog effects that have a < 100 dB SNR, and they're often further compressed/distorted.

Still, I agree that vinyl is nowhere close to ideal in terms of sound quality. I enjoy it in spite of that.

Minimalist version of Slashdot. Meh.
Mastodon (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/) is built on Rails and appears to have taken 10k+ commits over several years to build. Comparable products include Pleroma (https://github.com/Hostdon/pleroma/), which has 12k+ commits, and Friendica (https://github.com/friendica/friendica) is a bit older, and has about 32k+ commits.

Based on those projects, I'd say the evidence suggests it's a fair amount of work.
You put it up on a public domain and have open signups, it’s public.
I see some comments to the effect of "so much for going back to normal". But only those who have actually been to FOSDEM will grok why they chose to go online for 2022. It's jam-packed in the best of times, and many contract the (in)famous "FOSDEM cold".

It sucks, but I understand and fully support the FOSDEM staff's decision to go virtual for 2022. I'm saying this as someone who has been going to FOSDEM since 2012; and as a co-organizer of one of the Dev Rooms.

That last network card I bought that had a Tux on the box used an unmaintained GPL-but-out-of-kernel driver that no longer compiled on mainline kernels.
There is no "undefined behavior" in the sense that the C standard uses that term. The choice of which function to generate a call to in the generated assembly or machine code is not "behavior".

The way I think of it is that a C program specifies run-time behavior (which consists mostly of I/O). Any generated code is just a way to achieve that. C is not some kind of assembly language. The standard says nothing about CPU instructions or registers.

If you want to use C source code as a way to generate specific assembly or machine code, you'll have to go beyond what the language standard guarantees. If you need to do that, and you have an implementation that helps you with it, that's great.

I wonder if there's enough demand for a language that's independent of the target processor but still guarantees that a source call to a given function actually results in a call to that function, that a "+" operator results in a single addition CPU instruction, and so forth. It's not something I'd have any use for myself, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be valuable. C isn't that language, but something similar to C might be.

Well, the main reason, as I stated, is ideological. That it is not encumbered by patents, like mp3 is/was. The "paper cone" example was the most extreme hyperbole that came to mind. I just think it's neat that I would still have tunes, even in that extreme, unlikely situation.

However, in response to that: This past winter my apartment went without power for over 3 days, thanks to frost damage taking out major parts of our grid. UPC ran out of power in a couple hours, phones near the end of the day, any rechargables near mid-second-day. It was really nice to have the hand-crank player with built-in speaker while huddled up under a heavy blanket and reading. The same experience even more recently while staying at a fairly remote cabin, without streaming, signal, or convenient power. Had board games, a handful of records, and a nice lantern. Good times.

That is definitely not a tautology. It is common that the majority of people views the status quo as undesirable.

Something like this maybe: go to the new person, in the beginning every day, then once a week, then once a month, and say:

> there appear to be studies with conflicting conclusions

So far, conflicting conclusions are more common throughout much of recent climate science than any of us like. The basic lab bench physics behind CO2 is obviously very well-understood but long-term global climate (as opposed to regional, seasonal weather) is a 'wickedly' hard problem.

Modeling future global climate shifts over years and decades is hard because Earth's climate is a highly-complex, dynamically coupled system with thousands of interacting variables and possible feedbacks. Then extrapolating the output of those models to estimate significant changes to health, agriculture and extreme weather event severity and frequency requires making assumptions which are not nearly as well-understood. Then trying to adapt those estimates to further estimate the relative benefits, costs and impacts of myriad regulatory, economic and behavioral policy proposals is the kind of thing which would cause my favorite stats prof to say "It's fine... that's why god made error bars".
lol no. the $20/month cost of electricity is a rounding error for my $6k laptop and the $50k of software licenses for it. It's even less of a rounding error for the datacenter, where a $500k ESX farm that has several million in software on it farm uses $5k of electric per per month including cooling.

Have you noticed almost no one uses ARM? There's a reason for that. Including software being licensed per core, so faster hotter cores and fewer of them win.
If the CO2 level of the atmosphere doubles, we are still going to have bigger problems to solve.

> Just carry a CO2 meter around and measure it yourself. Once you're aware of it, the feeling is impossible to miss.

Sounds like a combination of confirmation bias and psychosomatic placebo effect to me. Plus you’re assuming a specific correlation between subjective minor discomfort and cognitive performance.
So clever, focusing on the hyperbolic sarcastic joke I made instead of my comments about how difficult vinyl is to store compared to a CD, or the fact that you degrade the record every time you listen to it, or the fact that vinyl has a fucking terrible SNR, or how easy it is to perfectly rip a CD to whatever digital file format is popular for the day.
> Seems to underscore my point that the available information about immunity longevity is mixed at best

The currently available information shows mixed evidence. But the vaccine campaign began in December/January 2021. Back then, BioNTech's CEO believed the protective effect would last "for at least a year"[1] (Booster shots gained traction in April/May [2], though they were mainly presented as a way to protect against new variants, not waning immunity in general).

Waning immunity was never really a topic (until now). You can also see its complete disregard in the "EU Digital COVID Certificate" [3]. Recovered persons are exempt from restrictions for 180 days, fully vaccinated persons indefinitely.

The "no_std" idea is one that has washed up over and over again, over the last half-century. ISO Standards typically call it "freestanding".

It has invariably failed to yield the promised benefits. It hangs around, anyway, cluttering up Standards. People waste endless hours proposing alterations to it for the next Standard edition, to be likewise ignored by implementers and informed users of whichever language.

I don't doubt that "no_std" will similarly float along, and even be taken up into whichever Standard takes hold, but it must identically fail to deliver to actual system developers, in practically useful terms, whatever benefit its promoters promise. A mirage may be beautiful, but it does not slake thirst.
Rising inflation and related rise of supply chain issues with empty store shelves - I remember that in USSR 30 years ago. Western world had issue with the basics, like food/etc., in 193x, in 197x - 2 generations apart allowing people to forget and get complacent - and thus i guess we're due for another.

Qualified immunity prevents private parties from suing the cops. But isn't perjury a crime? Qualified immunity doesn't apply to criminal prosecutions.
Personally I couldn't put it down. Amazingly well written.
Depends on what you mean by 'thinking ahead.' Do kids make flow charts anymore? How about writing code out by hand before typing it in? These exercises used to be considered normal 'thinking ahead.' Sometimes necessitated by resource constraints, other times just a rough draft practice, some type of forethought is a good way to train your mind to do the work, instead of just reacting to errors.
This is extremely unlikely. Copyleft intrinsically hinges copyright. More likely, if there was some judge that ruled against this case they'd carve out something in the specific scenario here rather than GPL/copyleft in general - that would open up too many cans of worms.
That's how I describe it too: Potemkin Retail. The elders don't like the other comparisons that we make to being lucky that there are at least bread lines. That means the store has bread that day.
Good luck learning everything that humanity knows about physics in six years! :-) Luckily, you don't really need to do that before starting research

I didn't give up per se, but I'm not actively checking it, either. Sometimes I get emails about matches, which I read. Haven't found any that clicked so far.

Right now, though, I'm going through a phase where I'm doubting whether I want to do a startup at all. Still fully onboard for entrepreneurship, but I'm questioning whether the startup path (especially the VC path) is right for my goals.

I am, however, interested in making organic connections with like-minded individuals. Perhaps like right here, in the comments of HN ;-)

Sure, maybe we should gather a random group of people, give each of them a laptop with Linux and Windows, and tell them to do some common tasks on both of them. Let's see which one they prefer, and have less issues with.

Common tasks include:

- Zoom/Google Meet meetings including screen sharing

- Playing music on bluetooth headphones

- Watching movies on Youtube/Netflix

- Playing games (with official support for both platforms)

- Using external monitor with different DPI
Platforming fascists is shameful, yes. It does require a sneaking in of a profound false equivalency to let that kind of assertion stand and I refuse to do so. It, like the fascists in question, can get right out of a functioning body politic, because if it doesn't it won't be functioning much longer.

I made this little webapp with data from DBpedia. It uses Sparql for the queries and uHTML for the rendering. See github.com/danielbeeke/dbpedia-influence-view for the code.
>Do you have any reason to believe "killed" means anything lesser than "rendered completely useless, bricked"

Yeah, because traditionally all the normal ways of locking phones still let 911 calls through. It should be fair to assume so unless stated otherwise.
> It's hard enough to read data from a drive built 20 years ago!

Because you don't have the hardware lying around right now. It's still quite possible to read all popular formats today and most of the ones you mentioned can even connect to the same SATA bus available on basically all normal mainboards. And those are mediums which are built for ~10 years (you'll find bit rot by then, which is what is actually preventing you from reading the data). Tapes, for example, are meant for long-term storage, are still in use and can be readily read.

To add to this, books have the same problem. Have a look at the declaration of independence: The font and language is already quite different from what we use today, and that's only from ~250 years ago. Plus the paper would probably not hold up to normal handling anymore.
>I wonder if data scientists and AI will do a similar thing to software engineers.

I don't really see how. Software development is about translating arbitrary requirements into a rigorous form without ambiguity (ie the developer has to fill in the blanks). Unless we invent AGI we would need the 'clients' of software development to be able to unambiguously list their requirements (without there being any blanks that need to be filled in). Effectively, they'd have to become devs themselves. It might not look like the software development of today of writing text, but they'd still be doing a similar type of job.
Sorry. No. A web page links to a file, you activate the link, the link is valid, and the web browser... chokes? That is objectively a bug.
Very yes.

I run a Mastodon instance and very quickly got to the point where new accounts are only available if you ask me for one, and if I decide to let you have one. Which is not a thing I do lightly for strangers.

The last thing I want is growth. Then I'd have to treat it like my full-time job and deal with managing an ever-more-unmanageable number of users, finding ways to deal with ever-huger bandwidth, storage, and CPU requirements, and somehow making enough money off of it to pay for all that, plus my own rent. Fuck growth. It's a little gathering for a few friends and that's about all it needs to be.
"Alone Together" (Dave Mason) is a great example of that.

the AGPL license grants rights only to server users. General 'public' has no business in this. Only those who were able to register on the server may require to be provided with the source code.

Note, that the server operator is free to provide the code in ways different from publishing it on GitHub.

Most slow cooker recipes are adapted from (and/or can be adapted to) Dutch oven recipes. Cooking the same recipe using the latter, in the oven on low heat with the Dutch oven lid slightly ajar, will produce a much more flavourful dish thanks to the Maillard reaction and all of the delicious browning that takes place on the top. It’s something I recommend to anyone who enjoys braised dishes.
First product/webapp. How to launch it? How to advertise it?
Hey! I'm a web developer and after several ocasions, I found myself wanting to automate something on web like checking for changes on a page or scraping a page in search for a specific information to popup over time, you know.. really automating something.. I guess it's a natural instinct among developers :)

The problem(?).. I need a server running 24/7 my cron jobs.
Another problem(?).. I didn't want to spend a handful of bucks on a VPS, setting it up, or having to deal with the complexity of (for example) AWS and launching a Lambdas, or Ec2, etc..

I just wanted something simple. A few clicks, set it and forget it. So I created Crontask.io.

Crontask.io it's an online cron-like platform where you can schedule your scripts to run periodically. No need for dedicated servers, VPS... You just need a Git repository (public or private) and set your scheduling preferences.

Now, for the tough part. I no nothing about communicating a product. I have been doing a lot of research on this topic but it all seems very fuzzy and unfortunately there's no technical documentation on how to launch a product :D

That's where maybe you can shed some light on, and throw a few links or books that you'd recommend.
I like the Twitter tech community so that's where I've been "grinding" to communicate it.

Best,
Tiago P.
You really hate vinyl. Power to you. I missed it in the rest of the hyperbole, unfortunately.
Another thing to consider is that the Wall of Sound was produced to sound a certain way on a crappy AM car radio speaker. "Muddy" is the goal, because that's what sounded best when you were cruising around the neighborhood on Friday night with the windows down and your arm around a girl.
I was referring more to their failure with Edge 1.0, where they did mostly jetison the legacy cruft and start a greenfield project to match Chrome and Safari. They threw a lot of effort into a mediocre product that almost no one used.
