The problem typically comes down the road when those abstractions touch so many pieces of the code that they become extremely expensive to change. The problem isn’t the hasty abstraction, the problem is the lock-in it creates.
It's pathetic all they did to Gab and it shows how biased the open source community at large is.
Long time CTO here. I brazenly and declaratively ask stupid questions and suggest stupid ideas. It usually leads to a break in a logjam, and I recognize that people in the room don’t always feel as free as me to be naive or uninformed. It’s the nature of my job and the coverage I need to manage across the org… devs aren’t as inclined to go this route, but this is also why some of my personality driven PMs are often so successful in a similar vein… they’re not invested in being or looking right, or even smart.
> The year of the linux desktop will happen once Ubuntu or whatever distro is most popular has a logo that appears next to the windows and/or mac compatibility stickers.

That's wrong and ignorant. I installed Kubuntu on my main desktop ~7 years ago, and have had zero compatibility or stability issues, even through 2 LTS upgrades. If everyone who wanted to try Linux used my exact hardware, the Linux desktop would not suddenly take off.

> And to add, if anything, we SHOULD be listening to geek enthusiasts if we want linux to go mainstream. Those are the people actually using it day to day, and the ones that will be installing it on other people's computers.

> Do you really think we'll get to mainstream adoption by just ignoring issues techies face that a typical user would also face?

Did you reply to the wrong person? I didn't say anything even remotely close to this.
Per his other comments, he spent 8+ years in Cook County so it would almost certainly have to be first degree murder.
I felt similarly about the fastai course. I'm doing the deeplearning.ai course (Andrew Ng) and I really like it. Warning though, it is bottom up, so you start by implementing neural nets with numpy to understand the internals, then it gets into TensorFlow. Just another resource if people are looking to learn deep learning and not pytorch in particular.

Naïve post here, I did read the "[Epistemic status: Extremely confused! Low confidence in all of this]", and I'm commenting in the same manner :

Death is (most of the time) not related to temperature itself, but to some bacteria/virus/infections/X, and that's the important point, X varying with the temperature ! Bacterias and viruses are living things too, they have their preferences !

Yeah, many common cold occurs during winter ...! But also, you're most subject to contracting malaraia if you're in a hot/humid weather., because, yeah, that's where malaria lives, not in NY or Tokyo, september to june.
Then, which one will kill you ? One ? Both ? Or also the one your immune system is least able to handle ?

I did not dig a lot into the mathematical models here ... But somehow it tickles me ! I'll have a deeper look, and would be very interested if anybody else does the same, share your findings !
> I don't think you've thought this through.

are you sure?

> How many...

Windows is pre-installed on the majority of OEM desktops and laptops so there is no 'install' or 'install it themselves' step. Same for Apple computers with macOS and that is 100% a given for users.

ChromeOS succeeded due to this. But given that is going to be replaced by Fuchsia, we are just going to see Google putting Fuchsia on the desktop (and phones) instead.

The reasons why Google decided to migrate is another story but the hint is related to "hardware support" similar to how Apple supports their devices.

When worrying about surviving for hundreds of years, you need to compare with the data about how many have existed for hundreds of years and then folded anyway.

Note that the above list includes a bunch of "national banks" which were founded at the peak of "national movement" in 1800s (as "nations" started forming "national countries") — with many of them, you can't really leave a deposit and they instead regulate an economy of a country (not sure about "many", but at least National Bank of Serbia is one of those).

Sure, but nothing will encounter or observe them ever again.

Things we put into heliocentric orbits are likely to be forever, too.

> Along a similar vein many of the satellites that we put in graveyard orbits around earth at the end of their useful life will also plausibly last that long, though there is a lot more debris for them to collide with.

While they won't decay from drag in a few million years, tidal forces and photon pressure become significant over time.

The "user" is a party in the license contract, so that requires a concrete, identifiable legal entity --- or so I would naively think, IANAL and all.

I have been on the y combinator co-founder portal and so far, it has not been that great. Most people either don't respond or if they do, they are really mostly interested in their own ideas and I know the irony of saying this because I have my own ideas.

I really believe that finding a co-founder is almost impossible to plan but it is more of an accident. Unless you have worked with someone for a while and know their strengths and weaknesses, no site can solve this problem.

Having said this, if you have a great co-founder, you truly are very lucky because I know how lonely it gets as a solo founder.

This is perhaps not what you were expecting to be asked about, but I’m curious nonetheless. So when you reported to prison you had to hand in your passport, driver’s license etc? And now when you were released they claimed that they have misplaced them? How do you get new documents, family members vouching for you or something like that?
Or, just a different sort of integrity than you had in mind.

>Work has to go into making rhubarb something vaguely edible.

Eh? You cut it into pieces, throw on some really basic sponge cake, bake for 30 minutes = delicious rhubarb cake. Or put it in a pan with some water and like a glass of sugar, boil for 10 minutes = rhubarb compote. Am I missing something?
Maybe, maybe not. It doesn't matter; unlike the active protection considerations of trademark, copyright and licensing are in no way obligated to be applied evenly. I trust you're not surprised that it turns out that folks who are considered to be generally bad-faith actors--or, y'know, literal-not-figurative fascists, no matter how ineffectual they are--get less leash than your average person.

Jefferson more than just didn't live up to his ideals by owning slaves. His ideals themselves would be anathema today:

Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people [negros] are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them. It is still in our power to direct the process of emancipation, and deportation, peaceably, and in such slow degrees, as that the evil will wear off insensibly; and their places be, pari passu, filled up by free white laborers. If, on the contrary, it is left to force itself on, human nature must shudder at the prospect held up. -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson_and_slavery

Rather conflicts with the narrative that the US was founded as a melting pot nation.

I recently got a TI-99/4A and ran a program that did a pretty poor job of waiting for vblank to do sprite position updates. Result: Horrible, horrible tearing.

You "don't have a problem with" tearing because tearing has always been with us and some people are just used to it. But other people are bothered by it and it doesn't have to be this way. Notably, one of the goals of Wayland is to solve for tearing when X hasn't.

Theater to Use Captions
I'm surprised that this wasn't invented back when Henry Ford was trying to use agricultural products in autos. (The "hemp car" urban legend comes from that project.) Plastics were expensive, so there were attempts to use agricultural products as filler. The trouble was that cellular materials swell when wet. Plastic+ag waste didn't hold shape if used for exterior auto body parts. Same problem as Masonite, particle board, etc.

With enough heat and pressure, does this new material avoid that problem? Or is it a "do not get wet" product.
I use TCL as I use EDA SW a lot, but I found the most horrible feature of TCLs language design, comments are not comments. A comment is a command to ignore the line. However a comment with a curly brace in it can break control flow, as its partially interpreted. I found this by commenting out some code (that was malformed) and my tcl program failed to run. I ended up commenting out the entire program save one line and still I got errors. Then I realised to my horror the comments with braces were actually affecting control flow!

That said, in EDA in general it works well for the most part.
I'm not sure if you've read TFA, but calling it simplistic is a bit ... simplistic. The question raised is valid: do we suffer more with a colder climate, or a warmer one, and where are the boundaries, and how far does our understanding reach.

DNA data storage for only data preservation maybe works, but if you want to actively broadcast your content; you can put a compact satellite in geosynchronous orbit with some of the rideshare missions. With redundant avionics and little overkill solar power (or proper RTG if you can afford) it would broadcast your data very long time. But which communication protocol to chose is still mystery.
You mean when Uber launched in San Francisco and was trying to bootstrap? Well, back then getting a taxi was difficult and unreliable. You could call ahead the day before for a 6am taxi to take you to the airport and have like a 30% chance that a taxi would actually show up. There was also no information passed to you as 6am got closer whether or not your taxi would actually be arriving, or at what time.

Uber provided reliable service, continuous stream of realtime updates, and an easy-to-use UI
Google SRE: Site Reliability Engineering at a Global Scale
I have a Dell Inspiron with AMD A12 processor that I bought with Windows preinstalled in 2019. Never even booted into Windows, just booted right into a USB stick and installed Elementary OS.

I can expect to use the laptop until it packs up.

Let me ask another way. Did these modifications require a recompile? Pulling a word out of a config file would not constitute a “modification to the software”, merely use as intended.
From the AGPL itself:

> 8. Termination.

> You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).

> However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

> Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

> Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
> There is no robot hand in the world that can do that simple task.

This reads like a less amusing version of the UNIX-HATERS handbook.
The citation on the Linux kernel containing "a whole lot of very low quality code" is a Slashdot post. The author claims that there is "No high level, stable, sane (truly forward and backward compatible) and standardized API for developing GUI applications" like it's something that exists anywhere, and cites Win32 as an example to be followed instead of a painful business decision by one company.
You are fine with it as long as people who decide who's a fascist are from a camp you support.
From TFA:

To comply with this important FOSS license, Trump's Group needs to immediately make that Corresponding Source available to all who used the site today while it was live. If they fail to do this within 30 days, their rights and permissions in the software are automatically and permanently terminated. That's how AGPLv3's cure provision works — no exceptions — even if you're a real estate mogul, reality television star, or even a former POTUS.

Yes it would; it would make 2.7 million dollars of funding magically appear.

I also think her attitude of entitlement to such an unreasonable salary is contradictory with Mozilla's beliefs. It seems like an awful match. And 3m is really high for a non profit. Wikimedia's CEO gets ~$400k a year. https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_salar...
I am currently one month in to learning on the job as a baker. I can’t speak for the job market, but I can say that working at this job has given me a new perspective on restaurants, bakeries and food. It gives me lots of ideas for opportunity and innovation related to my previous career / school experiences. I don’t think I plan on being a baker long term, but I find the work itself to be really gratifying so I might change my tune! It’s rewarding to see so many people immediately enjoy & be nourished by something I’ve made. Once I got the hang of things the repetitive processes have been a relatively easy way to feel a flow state. It’s also cool to create something I didn’t think I was capable of making a couple of weeks ago. I am working part time and highly recommend at least trying a part time baking gig at a place that’s willing to train you on the job. Thanks for the reason to reflect!

Section 8 of the AGPL spells that out.

Seems reasonable that someone would enforce their license that prevents use of their software for someone they specifically don't want using their software.
Seems like a great usecase for someone to use personal equipment, like a phone and Google Glass, to "hear" the audio and transform it to subtitles.
So there's an obligation for developers of free software to provide it to people who don't adhere to the licenses in question? Interesting take. Who else do you obligate to free work?
Read section 8 of the text. It says that once an infringer has been notified, they have 30 days to fix the problem or else their license is terminated.

> Or do I misunderstand something?

The AGPL is identical to the GPL, but with one additional clause: if you use the modified software to provide a networked service (like a website), then you must distribute your modifications. That's all.

You can use AGPL'd software to produce content without fear that that content will be encumbered, since you're not providing a networked service through that content. That's why your documents are safe, even in the (unlikely) event that your word processor is AGPL.
