But that's okay. A non-profit is just a company. No one is born into it, it holds no legal power over anyone, it can't send troops to conquer foreign lands, and most notably can't stop anyone from leaving it or working against it.

I don't see why a non-profit can't work just like a legacy trust---fulfil the mission left behind by its founder, and manage its monies to do that and only that.

If a non-profit's mission is successful, it can disband. It doens't need to pivot with its current supporters to find new things to do. Additioanlly, it need top change to suit the whims of its supporters. The supporters can simply support someone---anyone else (non-profits are far more numerous and easy to start than a new country). The original non-profit will die on the vine.

> Well a few months ago I needed to fill out customs form 5106. This form uses some kind of proprietary Adobe PDF form creation software thing

PSA in case anyone doesn't know this: the built-in Preview app on MacOS can be used to fill in any PDF form. You can type into text boxes on some forms. But even if they're not there, you can add text anywhere on a pdf. You just have to drag your own text boxes to wherever you want to type. It also supports signatures and various shapes.

The options are sort of hidden - View -> "Show Annotation Toolbar" or Tools -> Annotate -> Text.

You shouldn't ever need adobe acrobat.
I agree mostly with their two paragraphs. I rescued an exotic parrot and while I certainly had mixed feelings before I got him, I now know that parrots, for example, should not be pets whatsoever. It's not fair to them, and we breed them pretty much entirely out of selfishness.

There is a hard limit. If you want to get somewhere, you have to get there before the expansion of the universe moves it away forever. Our accessible universe is constantly shrinking. It's a natural law that places firm discontinuities on optimization.

This may seem silly, but microcontroller shrinking is running into a similar problem with quantum noose, which is by far the closer boundary.

The accelerating expantion of the universe also importantly bounds availible time, which makes the specific equation governing how fast optimization can be achieved relevant. For example, if the cost of increasing intelligence is sufficiently exponential past a certain point, a true singularity may never come. And if it's more like busy beaver then exponential then it may be impossible for it to ever get very far indeed.
There are a few things wrong with Cringely's story:

- According to this story, TAOCP Volume 1 was typeset using hot-metal printing, Volume 2 was typeset using "photo-offset printing to save money for the publisher" (which Knuth didn't like), and Volume 3 was typeset using TeX. But in reality, the first editions of all three volumes of TAOCP (Vol 1 1968, Vol 2 1969, Vol 3 1973), and the second edition of Volume 1 (1973), were all typeset using hot-metal printing. It was the galley proofs of the second edition of Volume 2 (in preparation around 1977) which used photo-typesetting, but this was never published. Ultimately the second edition of Volume 2 when published in 1981 used digital typesetting (TeX + Metafont).

- He claims that in "volume 3" (let's charitably assume he meant the 1981 second edition of Volume 2, as this is the only thing that makes sense: the next editions of these volumes were from 1997–98, after "Accidental Empires" was published), he "saw the letters had that telltale look of a low-resolution laser printer" and "Had a good enough laser printer been available, the printing would have been beautiful" — but this makes no sense, as these published books were (obviously!) not printed using a low-resolution laser printer, but were printed using a good digital typesetter at 5000+ dpi.

For more history, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/367058/wheres-an-exa...

So either the story is completely made up, or (accounting for lapses in memory etc), Cringely may have meant one of the following:

1. The fonts used in 1981 (Vol 2 2nd edition) were not the final version and were further refined (see Knuth's "burned with disappointment" linked above), leading to the current Computer Modern (BTW: try not to use the thin/spindly on-screen versions: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/361722) after further consultation with leading type designers,

2. Cringely may have been talking about something like the 1979 book "TeX and METAFONT: New Directions in Typesetting", which is basically a very early application of the prototype TeX78 that was still being developed at the time, and was indeed (I think) typeset on the Xerox Graphic Printer (XGP), and you can indeed easily see the low-resolution artefacts. (They're impossible to miss: if such a conversation as above indeed happened, and about this book or something from that early period, likely what Knuth said was something like "yes of course the type looks bad in this book, but it's been designed for a real (higher-resolution) digital typesetter and it will look fine there", not that he couldn't see it.)

Yep, that first one will do it! And you probably want to rip out the polygon merging code and minimum zoom on the attrs. You can use --only-layers= or --exclude-layers= if you don't want all the others.
Seems like the barcodes encoded the deal, and they figured out how to insert arbitrary discounts and resell high value products. You can find legitimate arbitrage opportunities with extreme couponning, but just like mechanical turk or ad view / click rewards "work" it very rarely reaches minimum wage when you account for time and profit. If people are making bank doing seemingly trivial stuff like this, it's going to be temporary and/or illegal.

Mike might have taken longer to get it than Jim but he eventually understood the existential threat they faced. He realized this at a time they could have possibly changed course but was unable to do so because the board did not have faith in such a drastic change. The plan to cannibalize device sales today vs promise of future software revenue did not sound so promising for the board, who I imagine were interested only quarterly profits and their stock price.
This sort of analogizing might fool a layman, but it will not fool someone who has looked at teardowns and done actual software development in the space. You need to be able to tell whether a similarity is more like two cars having the same engine controller firmware, or more like two cars both having carburetors, or more like two cars both having bought tires from the same third party supplier.

This is very close to the language Lambda School actually used. Here is a snippet of something Lambda wrote after a LOT of students complained about the changes the school made to the program (removing TLs, grades, code review):

Mm no, it's pretty accurate. For a start, notice that the Linux community has been very clear that panicking is unacceptable. The reason is that they cannot realistically do anything to recover.

> panic handler [...] Which you would define in the kernel. While I'm not going to speculate on exactly what the implementation would look like, you definitely do not need to "crash" the computer.

The panic handler loses so much of the context that crashing the computer is the only thing you can practically achieve. You can't retry an operation generically from with a panic handler, it doesn't know anything about the operation you were attempting. The OOM handler gets a Layout struct only. You could try unwinding or something, but within a syscall handler, I don't see how anything good can come from that. Unwinding in the kernel is simply a terrible idea. What else are you going to do?

In some cases controls might use view state to store information that no users should have access to. If those identifiers contain sensitive data, such as social security numbers (emphasis added), you should encrypt the view-state data in addition or instead of sending over SSL.

When something is shown literally as a picture of an object that is in contrast to a figurative drawing of a concept.
Yes, notice that even if you don't know what kind of coordinates are allowed in GR, from SR you know points of equal time coordinate must form surfaces, so any object with a non-zero 3-volume cannot lie on any such surface.

As an aside, it really grinds my gears when I see popular science articles describing astronomical observations as being "in the past". Pretty much by definition everything that affects us must be in our causal past light cone, so in a strict sense that statement doesn't say anything at all. But it does try to say something, it tries to make astronomical observations seem different from everyday observations. In particular, people have this intuitive but non-physical idea on "now" happening around us, and these articles try to give the impression that "now" in those faraway astronomical objects is different, as if the notion of "now" (either here or there) would be a real physical thing, when only the observer's now is physically meaningful. They implicitely talk about THE faraway "now" when the whole point of GR is that there isn't a unique such thing.

Articles get this backwards. The fact that light comes from the past is true both for astronomical phenomena and for everything else, that's not what's interesting, what's interesting is precisely that coordinate mappings can't be unique and by mixing ontologically different categories of "now", they obscure this idea further.

In an ideal world, all smart cards/TPMs/HSMs would have these two properties:

1. Under no circumstances would they ever be sold with any private keys already on them

2. There would be no way to prove or determine after the fact whether a given key was generated internally or imported from an external source

If those two things were true, then you'd still be able to get 100% of the legitimate security benefit of them, but they'd be completely unusable for DRM and other evil things.
Coming from Gentoo, encountering Debianesque systems only later, that all-out locking really surprised me.
Portage, the Gentoo package manager, only takes a lock at the very end of the installation, when a file tree (result of compilation etc) is merged into the "live" filesystem - so that those merges are serialized and checked for collisions.

Ask HN: If Blazor is abandoned by Microsoft, will it live as a community fork?
I'm a member of a team of C# developers and we're considering Blazor for modernizing a large enterprise ASP.NET MVC app.

In the light of the recent overwhelming events in the .NET space, we'd be interested in opinions about what the future of Blazor could be, should Microsoft decide to stop maintaining it.

I've created a Twitter poll (upd: the link is in the comments below), you could see the current results if you cast a vote:

- Blazor is here to stay

- An active community fork

- A "life support" scenario

- Use another framework now

I'll update this post with the final results when the poll ends.

Thanks!

Economic growth without ecological collapse is currently capitalist fantasy and wish-casting.

No one sensible is arguing that efficiencies can't be found. They're pointing you at the very real crisis that we have no idea how to decouple economic growth from environmental resource consumption such that environmental disaster is averted.

In the USA, Estate Tax is synonymous with Wealth Tax, and it is the commonly-understood usage. There are very few countries that tax (financial) assets where no gain is realized (i.e., they are not sold or exchanged). The Netherlands (and a handful of other European countries) have the system of taxing unrealized gains, but this usage of 'Wealth Tax' is pretty much obsolete all over the world.

Sorry, not true. I had a large music collection, and did not bother with iPod in the early days (and when I tried much later, didn't like scrolling wheel). It did not work with OGG Vorbis, nor could it have any moderate amount of storage. My DAP had 40 GB: iRiver H340. This was around 2003/2004.

I think legalization is the only real solution, but you bring up a good point about alcohol. The best approach there is preventative, and do things like strictly ban all advertising of all drugs, before there's a strong lobby to prevent that from being enacted. We should really ban advertising of alcohol and prescription drugs too, but there's unfortunately vested interests that make that a hard task.

I think the ideal system is some sort of government-run one that is not out to profit, and keep on suggesting that maybe you don't need any drugs, but will give you some if you insist and are willing to watch a safety video.
