Certainly, but we dole out an awful lot of privileges in return for that measly obligation!

Prop 13 merely puts the silliness in sharper relief.
I have always wondered about this question i.e. is it always necessary to model our systems "exactly" on the natural physiology? Case in point, men, inspired from the flights of the bird in nature first tried to build the flying machines using "flaps". Soon, though, it became apparent that flight is best achieved via a circular motion instead of the flaps. Similar arguments for wheels and automobiles that roll instead of emulating a walk.

What I'm saying is, maybe the neurons and the human intelligence are indeed order of magnitudes more complex than our current research. But maybe, our simple designs will prove more efficient and equally effective in the long run? To be clear, this is of course not to imply that we have nothing to gain from a deeper understanding of the human physiology. It's just a curious question of mine.
Oh hey no one answered your query about the patent on the D-pad; that patent is long expired. (https://patents.google.com/patent/US4687200A/en)
$35 is a bit odd to use as an example price, because it probably isn't going to be particularly common to need to split a $35 purchase into multiple payments. My guess is that the most common prices would be >$100

this risk will always be present. Choosing a well known processor will reduce it quite a bit imho.

If you're asking why a user would take on this risk, i would say that they are getting a "free" trial in return. By having to take on this risk, the user is more conscious of using the product, and cut out the people who would just kick the tyres.
The regulations are already a thing, they're just scoped as corporate reporting requirements.

I'm not aware of any politicians who would not want to end modern slavery or child labour. It's very difficult to enforce these measures internationally so they tend to seek a local entity to hold accountable.

Like most, I would support more regulation in this area.

> - The "lie-flat" movement massively picks up.

This is a serious symptom that is being swept under the rug. Efforts needs to be put in to better understand the issue and enforce steps to resolve it.

I lack the basic training in trying to understand the issue - sociology, psychology or whatever is the relevant field. But I feel that "lie-flat" is just an acute variant of the general issue - "checking out of reality". The other versions are "staying in echo chambers" and being incapable of even listening to different views. "Getting lost in other worlds" - the gamers that spend whole day in games like Fortnite or always flipping through videos in tik tok.

That's a different situation, because the LGPL is not a problematic license in terms of drafting.

With LLVM, the license isn't really changing in spirit. The concerns seem to be more practical — my understanding is that they're trying to get out from under a poorly drafted patent clause and also unify the code under a single license so they can move stuff around more easily.
But why?

I guess there is a joke hidden but I don't get it.
I just scanned through my 2020 solutions. It seems I used cl-ppcre for almost all my parsing if I couldn't read them directly with the built-in read or read-line functions. On the one occasion I used parseq in 2020 I didn't actually need it (a regex would've done the trick, day 2 password parsing). Parseq is a good option for anything more complex than regexes, though. I'd suggest taking a few days worth of puzzles and writing parsers to get some practice.

This isn't an effective scam. Don't pick up the package and it'll be returned to sender for insufficient postage. You'll open a case for non-receipt and the tracking will show that the item was never delivered, so you'll win. The seller obtaining tons of 1-star reviews will soon lose their selling privileges as a result. The scam is thus self-resolving.

I was expecting a story about an actual scam that's been going around marketplaces for a while now: you buy something. You're told it shipped and are given a tracking number. The tracking soon (or already) shows the package was delivered, but you never received anything. That's because the seller never sent anything, they bought a tracking number for some other package destined for your zip code for pennies and gave you that. If you open a case, it'll be closed because the seller appears to have proof of delivery. By the time enough people leave 1-star reviews and raise hell with customer service for them to catch on and terminate the seller, they've gotten away with a lot of money.
Haproxy to me is much better. The free version of nginx has absolutely abysmal stats for monitoring.
Bitcoin is valuable, but it ain't close to "money," at least for now. Money is the thing you can use to facilitate transactions easily, and Bitcoin is absolutely not that.

As for NFT's, sure - a lot of things have value to some people. Right now it appears as if NFT's are valuable for luring in suckers and enabling very stupid people to try to launder money. Now, will NFT's be widely valuable to a lot of people in the future? Perhaps, but it strikes me as far from a sure bet.

I don’t know about HOAs, but it is extremely common now for apartment owners when they initially acquire a property to sub meter units and bill back those utilities that were included in rent back to the tenants. Rent is typically kept at the same amount, so this is effectively a raise in rent.

Like you mention, I assume this lowers usage substantially as people are aware of the cost of their individual usage.

That was my question as well when looking at how much space SODIMM requires on the Framework laptops. Although I am not entirely sure if there is a market for it. Part of the reason ( or benefits ) for going soldered Memory and NAND is assembly automation in production line.
You're not wrong that it's probably is easier to scrutinize 1 big company than many small companies' supply chains, I guess.

In 2014, we bought a brand new Mitsubishi Space Star. EUR 6990. The only thing electrical are both front windows. No A/C, no radio, no remote key or central key unlock. It did not have a single repair in 7 years. It is the best car I ever owned.
Partly, but also the vastly different power dynamics of these situations. To most honest observers there usually is a side here fighting for a more "humane" cause, like opposing their own enslavement, or opposing the colonialization of their country by another for some semi-enslavement.

Wouldn't you agree these are generally "good" causes, unless you are the aggressor in that situation?

The inherent asymmetry of these conflicts, particularly in military power, leaves the "insurgent" side usually not much more choice than use cruder weapons and go for targets of opportunity that may involve a higher risk of civilian collateral.

Which is not a new dynamic, it's a very old dynamic that many militaries throughout history had to deal with when occupying populated territories hostile to them.

That should be enough information for someone to make sense of what tools you're using. Most software engineers are familiar with sqlite so that won't be an issue. If you can outline in some detail the features you want then a competent software engineer will be able to work with what you currently have and evolve it towards the outline by either adding some other set of libraries and software components into the project or subtracting the parts that won't be useful for what you want to be implemented.

This is all obviously at a high level so the more concrete the feature specification the easier it will be to figure out how much work will be involved in implementing it.
When we were kids, one of the adults in our Boy Scout troop would read stories from this book [1] each week, to encourage us to follow the motto, “Be Prepared”, when it comes to hikes and such.

Unfortunately, as you suggest, your story is commonplace and doesn’t always end well :/.

The takeaways I remember: (1) never hike the Grand Canyon, or any place with high exposure, in the summer, unless you’re extremely prepared for extreme weather (2) always pack the ten essentials [2] (3) when attempting a long or arduous hike, always inform an accountable third party of when and where you’re going.

Hopefully this helps somebody avoid a similar situation in the future!

Probably because constantly observing systems and thinking about how effective or efficient they are is way less effective and efficient than just using the system.
While in one sense, it's trivial to transport gopher over TLS, in another sense, it's hard to add because gopher itself has no concept of TLS, and thus a client cannot know from within gopher to use TLS or not. I blogged about this: http://boston.conman.org/2019/03/31.1

No, although I don't know if I ever will, so "yet" seems like a weird way to phrase it.

The problem is who would lend you money for a lower % with zero collateral, which you could bankrupt yourself out of?

Education loans persist through a bankruptcy, which is why they exist in the first place.

Yup, the trick though is you want some way to get all the pads balled to roughly the same height - otherwise when you heat it to solder it and the chip floats on the pads one or two may be too high to make contact ... or there's too much solder and it squeezes out and causes a hidden short.

The process of filling each hole in the stencil with the same amount of solder and carefully scraping any excess off of the top effectively adds the same amount to each ball

Is Rafael de Espindola on that list? He seems to have left on not that great terms and I can imagine him not being interested in supporting a license change. He was a prolific contributor.
As far as I can find online, this is an edge case that's unlikely to ever be relevant.

Dutch law allows the voiding of licenses after "unreasonably long" terms. One suspects that it would be hard to show that a term is unreasonably long when you're talking about a contribution to open source software.

In Poland, there's a limit of five years, on the author's wish, with one year's notice. Fair enough, a Polish contributor might possibly demand that their code be taken out of a projects with a year's notice. It seems unlikely that many Polish devs will exercise this right, since, if their contributions are significant, it would probably result in blacklisting, and if not significant, it would probably not be worth it. But I suppose it could happen. If it happened often, Polish devs would likely stop being welcome to contribute to open source projects.

In Canada, there is automatic time-based reversion of rights 25 years after the author's death. So if you write code at 35, and die at 80, your estate could conceivably demand that your code could be removed from a project 70 years after you wrote it. Similarly, in the United States, you can revert your rights after going through some process and paying a fee after 35 years.

The probability of any of these things happening seems sufficiently remote that it doesn't seem worth worrying about. Technically these CLAs might not actually grant perpetual licenses, but in practice they're likely close enough.

It's not exactly hidden when it's clearly stated in the license, and relatively common practice to omit that clause.

Heh, that’s the damnation of the expert. The more I know about movies the less I enjoy them, for example. It’s easier when you don’t notice defects.
I think there's limits to these kinds of effects if it's actually a thing you interact with on what I'll call (for lack of a better term coming to mind) a blue collar basis.

My reasoning (story time):
I got hired to fix up a piece of custom-built software that was essentially the core business function for a series of medical clinics. They'd spent quite a bit of money to replace an older DOS system with a fancy new .net app. It was flashy, sleek looking, but also slow, buggy, and hard to use for the staff who did 99% of the work within it. Part of my analysis involved looking at the software they were using before the new .net app they paid for, which was something they'd kept alive probably a decade past its best before date by running old versions of Windows or running it on Dosbox.

The staff loved the ancient thing and hated the new modern thing because the new modern thing made everything about their jobs harder, despite being much easier on the eyes and displaying a lot more information on-screen. The old DOS app was built to be used keyboard-only, so it was much faster than using a mouse for 99% of data entry things, which was the bulk of what people were doing with the app. By contrast, the development house that built the .net app to replace it didn't seem to even know what tabindex was for. Literally you couldn't tab around any screen in the app in any kind of sensible workflow way.

It took a while to fix it up but the thing that always stuck with me about that job was just how much one particular front office staff member thanked me profusely because she could now use the keyboard for everything again. There was a valuable lesson in it for me about the pitfalls of shiny vs functional.
To the public it was groundbreaking, but it is worth noting the ideas in both MacDraw and MacWrite were already approaching a decade old by that point, having first been on the Alto (Bravo and Markup) and later in house on the Lisa (LisaDraw, LisaSketch, and LisaWrite).

One thing the Mac really had going for it was that these ideas had a long time to gestate and refine because everything was still quite experimental and nobody else was rushing to commercialize the research. Definitely not 'I built a prototype in 9 weeks and I happened to nail it on v1'.

Agree with the sentiment though, they got a lot right on the first version, and it paved the way for a lot more.
> I see GPL as a sign of quality

Personal opinion is that BSD > GPL. Free as in properly free. I always donate to BSD license folks. When corporations use BSD software, they usually get engaged in the BSD community - under the stilts of management, suited lawyers and spreadsheet bean counters, it's just us programmer folk... you know. We like tinkering things and BSD software tends to have a different philosophy. Very welcoming to people who want to propel the world forward. Truly liberating, try BSD software.
At some ports already after they are offloaded they are transported around the yard on programmed platforms. The platforms deliver them to waiting trucks. It’s not “autonomous” but I think it’s functionally close. And probably better to have vehicles transporting them than budilding this into every shipping unit, I assume.

I like OOP approaches a fair bit, but only for relatively large, long-lived systems, especially when working with a team. E.g., the Domain-Driven Design approach can provide a ton of shared clarity.

For something like Advent of Code, though, I'd avoid it. It's just me and it's not for long; there's no need for me to be explicit about how I'm thinking about the problem.
Yeah as far as I know Firefox sync encrypts everything with your own private key on your device. So Mozilla wouldn't have any access to your bookmarks or other stuff that you sync. I don't know anything about how Chrome's syncing works.

Ya, it's troublesome. It's even worse on social media because there is no way to broach the conspiratorial filter bubbles so people just keep reinforcing conspiracy theories that make no sense to any sane person. Looks like it's spilling over into HN as well now.

@b0o: Placing my answer here because the post is now flagged/dead and I can't reply. My suspicion is that there definitely are coordinated misinformation campaigns. But it's hard to tell if it's a bunch of trolls or state actors. Probably a combination of both but the end result ends up being the same. People start believing in nonsense and the result is constant political strife which only weakens the US and most other liberal states and nations.

Venture capitalist is sued by employees who claim they helped him run a harem

i dont believe access to capital is a right - because the entity providing that capital has to be a willing participant, or it'd be called stealing or coercing capital out of some one.

The fact that in the USA, the defacto legal defense funding comes from charity donations via companies like GoFundMe is tragic, because it is a symptom of the lack of actual proper legal representation funded by the state. But this doesn't mean the obligation for GoFundMe to act as a defacto social safety net. They should be able to choose to run their business however they see fit.
MAMEdev hit this problem a few years back as well. Thankfully, the end result of code that needed to be ripped out and rewritten ended up being pretty small comparative to the whole project. A lot of that came down to there being no corporate interests involved, so no corp VS author arguments-- the worst ones to deal with were contributors who were adamant about keeping the original non-commercial license on their contributions.

Independent Consultant on Remote Work
Yeah I love the use case of documentation! Right now Runno wouldn't be great for libraries (or web requests!) but it's definitely something I'd like to support.

I guess it would depend on the browser. There's two different fallbacks for the IO. So if the env doesn't support SharedArrayBuffer it will fallback to using a ServiceWorker hack. If that's not supported it will fallback to using an input prompt. But if the browser doesn't support WebAssembly there's no fallback mechanism.
