If I'm writing a program under BSD, and I want to incorporate a component with a GPL license, I can't do that and continue to license the entire program to my users under the BSD. That's the difference, and surely that's what the OP is referring to.

You can continue to offer your work to users under a BSD license, you just also have to offer the complete work to them under the GPL as well if they want - ie. your work can be "Dual BSD/GPL" license. Obviously this doesn't make other authors GPL bits you've used BSD - if someone wants to make use of rights reserved under copyright law in respect to those parts, they still need a valid license from the original author who is presumably only offering GPL.
The most valuable part of Bitcoin is being able to carry a fortune unafraid of theft either from a petty criminal or an employee of the government. Like weapons a very powerful technology that escaped Pandora’s box.
I think that era of Windows stuck to the literature and best practices, the UI spoke to us in its own visual language and let us know what could be clicked or right-clicked or that it had focus and might do something if you hit the spacebar etc. etc. things that behave similarly look alike, all the clues you need to learn some software on your own were there, the visual language was teaching us how we're meant to use it, the more familiar we were with windows software the quicker we could pickup new windows software.

and then I don't know what happened Steven Sinofsky showed up with radical ideas that software should be beautiful and everything sort of went to hell? curious if there was actually some kind of event marking the beginning of the end of intuitive software design for MS

The claims were true in the past, and the evidence has continued to accumulate. Denial of the evidence at this point is just silly.

Same reason they're not assigning copyright or granting a commercial license as part of the sale -- it's just a scam, and those things aren't necessary for the scam to function.

And because the marks think that they're gonna get rich off owning a blockchain pog with a link to a monkey jpeg, the art doesn't have to be good, either.
Yeah, this one was hard to buy, unless there are a lot of billionaires that want to live in houses the size of a college dorm room. The cost to get to mars, and to live on Mars seems to me to be absolutely prohibitive at this point.

A number of the other observations also seemed to be a stretch. I'm not sure AI will have the level of impact he expects in less than 30 years. the death of the local store and getting any product delivered in an hour or less seems way too optimistic when you consider all the small rural towns in the US that can't even get decent broadband today.
yep, for instance a good benchmark would be: how long would it take to build a decent and snappy GUI operating system from scratch with a custom html/css/js engine in $LANGUAGE ?

To give a data point, in 2021-era C++ it's approximately 3 years with a very large part of it being done by a single person (https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity). How long would that take with python ?

That Covid is caused by a lab leak?

China is known for making cheap stuff. High quality products with safety in mind? Not so much. Why should their lab procedures be better?
Distortion is cheap to fix in post.

Field curvature, astigmatism, coma, and chromatic aberration need to be handled optically.
A larger sensor remains beneficial, even if the lens is physically larger, at least as long as you keep a wide aperture.

There is a hard limit at F/0.5 that you won't get closer to than ~ F/0.65, but the crop factor makes it so you have a smaller absolute aperture with a smaller sensor to get the same field-of-view.

MFT needs half the focal length and half the F-number to match full frame in FOV and DOF.
E.g. an F/1.3 full-frame lens already matches what exotic optics can reach on MFT, and an F/1.0 one would match the theoretical limit of MFT.

Speaking about more realistic MFT lenses like F/1.4, that'd be a rather harmless F/2.8 in full-frame.
Yes, the latter is more expensive, but only because F/1.4 is quite a bit away from F/0.7, the practical limit for "normal" photography lenses (anything faster is probably exotic).

Elon Musk is planning on sending a Starship along with 100 tons of cargo to Mars in September 2022. He'll probably miss that window and send it October 2024 instead.

Musk also plans on building 50 Starships per year.
It's a bit more complicated, like how you can't just take a Mac binary, put it on a Windows computer and expected it to run just because it uses the same x86 machine code.
> And a larger SLOG dev than RAM space available makes no sense then?

Exactly, and it's even worse. By default ZFS only stores about 5 seconds worth of writes in the ZIL, so if you have a NAS with say a 10Gbe link that's less than 10GB in the ZIL (and hence SLOG) at any time.

> A real write cache would be awesome for ZFS.

Agreed. It's a real shame the write-back cache code never got merged, I think it's one of the major weaknesses of ZFS today.
The ideal solution is to move to a country with a great public health care (say, Denmark or Switzerland).

Wow! I love the mashup of unix/linux command line functionality with functional gui. I had been looking at Mezzano, because I prefer Lisp, but then I thought it would be great to implement a Lisp on SerenityOS with all native tie-ins to the gui and OS. Hmmm... So inspiring!
They're also including a mortgage that's paid off lmao.

Yeah totally, $40k is plenty. You just need to not have kids, have a paid off house, no loans, live in LCOL area, get grandma's inheritance, have it come from a retirement account with minimal taxes, hope inflation doesn't kill your $40k over time, hope healthcare costs don't continue to rise, etc....
You're quibbling about the definitions. Sure, high IQ people can be irrational and believe stupid stuff. Doesn't change the fact that IQ is important for success in modern society.
The gp mentioned source blocks, so I picked up there. It looks like you and I are in agreement? That it may be more consistent, due to it always being json. But it hardly seems any better.
> That's just off the top of my head.

And all of that hard stuff could be done entirely without blockchain, and would indeed not be made any easier by blockchain, because it's all just tricky gamedev work. Once you've got all that stuff done, you could just use an API or a normal database to transfer "digital assets" between games, and skip the blockchain stuff.

Oh, is making an interoperable API too hard? Well, it's not going to be any easier on the blockchain...

Yes, but to make the hydro-carbon, you need to put carbon in. If you extract that from air you’re carbon-neutral.

You can also be carbon-neutral by making that cycle larger: extract carbon from trees, create fuel, burn it, and let new trees you planted convert the CO2 back into wood.
I think the intent is more improving the process of managing records than making creation easier and reduce the potential for loss of data, which such a system could address.

"Approximately 44% of health care and pharmaceutical organizations experienced a data breach caused by a third party within the last year, according to a report from critical access management firm SecureLink and Ponemon Institute.[7] “Despite this threat, just 41% of healthcare and pharmaceutical organizations have a comprehensive inventory of all third parties with access to their network,” the report said. Sixty percent agreed that managing third-party permissions and remote access to their network can be overwhelming and a drain on resources, and only 44% of these organizations know the level of access and permissions that both internal and external users hold, the report said."[1] Storage as NFTs could potentially be used to store records in a more secure and interoperable manner.[2][3]

Only one, clubhouse. I talked to some very great minds, Abe Caplan was talking to us about his research in BMIs on braingate for instance, Paul King used to host weekly neuroscience rooms, and lots of people working on interesting projects. Most of it isn’t, but it’s all audio, doesn’t really have scaling problems or the ability to as much as sites and wisdom I’ve heard is good too, I’m a fan of audio social media.

Site based HN is one, github if you program, best not using it at all. Social media is a structure and it’s always the same effect, you’re only using it because everyone else is on it she since nobody is on urbit, mastodon, matrix etc there’s no “social”. Find your interests and adapt to it, I only joined Keybase discord and telegram to talk to some people who use it.
There isn't one - because they have been around, quietly, growing. Check sneakernet ideas, like Scuttlebutt ( https://scuttlebutt.nz/get-started/ ), p2p networks, like dat:// and ipfs://, retroshare, and so on.

Whatever you'll find under the web3 banner is, unfortunately, complete garbage.

not that I really disagree with your point, but orders of magnitude of distance are a poor measure of the kind of effort it takes to get places in space.

Almost all of the energy and effort is spent on getting things off of the earth to begin with, everything after that point is comparatively easy, especially if you are willing to take a long time doing it.

The major problem with a Mars mission is that the constraints of getting things into orbit are so oppressive, its hard to send enough supplies and equipment to orbit, due to the exponential explosion of the rocket equation.
Malintent exists on a spectrum and in my experience operating SaaS, a credit card is indeed a good filter for users who have no intention of ever paying you.
Yes! My thoughts exactly.

Would love to try Serenity on a laptop some time. Anyone know how usable this is as a daily driver?

> Perl and Python are scripting languages,

With the exception of shell languages (and its overstated even there), the description “scripting language” is usually wrong and at extremely deceptively reductive, even for languages where that was a motivating or at least early major use case.

> their energy savings come from the fact that the programmer is typically the only person who will be running it,

Even when languages are used for scripting, that's not true.

It is super popular to be against the idea that kids will add value in your life. I am not sure Hacker News is the right demographic to understand the value of parenthood.

Most parents would agree that having kids is life changing for the better.
But the problem is how much of the demand is artificially proped up by the extremely low borrowing rate?

What central banks and feds need to think about is, if they raise rates to combat high inflation, will the higher rates induce a coma in the borrowing market, thus overcorrecting the market into a high supply/low demand situation.

While your argument is logically sound, it's not the whole picture
There has been hardly any evidence that the "Momo thing" was anything at all, and that's being generous.

Maybe the image was inserted into undesirable videos, but the image itself is harmless and inoffensive. It's simply a (model of a) girl with enlarged eyes. Automatically banning specific legal and inoffensive images is a huge overreach by Facebook, because what other images could they be banning?
Javascript is faster than Python by a not-insubstantial amount, due to JIT and the sheer number of man hours poured into optimizing the browser Javascript engines.

I have no idea about memory consumption. I assume Python does better than Javascript there due to reference counting.
I realize this comment is probably tongue-in-cheek, but if we take it at face value, I think it’s failing to consider that the software’s enery usage is unbounded. An app, for example, may end up installed on millions of devices, or running 24/7 on a server for years.

What advantage would an NFT asset pack have over a regular asset pack? It is not uncommon for game assets to be many gigabytes in size, which is not a great fit for block chain.
> ITT: People who don't know what NFT's are explaining what they think NFT's are to other people who don't know what NFT's are.

Then you should explain what they are.

If you can't (or won't), why should we care?

> If you are actually interested in how NFT's work, interesting projects using them, or just want to have a conversation around the topic that isn't just snarky morons jacking each other off, I highly encourage you to engage some of these communities on twitter, telegram, or discord.

If it's not a scam or cult, then just publish something on the web. "Can't explain it here, come chat with us on discord" has big "free personality test" vibes.
Which might be relevant if it was 20 years later, but it's not. Tesla's stock run-up preceded a number of unprecedented events that are all notably not associated with it's actual fiscal success. So it's incredibly vapid to a year later saying "see! It's not going to crash!"

We have not yet perfected onboarding for Accord, especially for new users. Not every company needs Accord today. We add the highest value for multi-stakeholder opportunities.

If anything NK vs SK just shows how ridiculously vulnerable these colonies were and exactly how little internal factors mattered.

Both were simply pawns of the cold war.

SK was on a downwards trajectory but saved by an export economy propped up by billions of US dollars and heavy US military support in amounts far exceeding other countries because SK was considered an important front of the Cold War.

NK went from arguably doing better than SK in the 70s and ended up losing 25% of their economic output as the USSR collapsed...

How would someone seriously hold these two nations up as proof that success or failure after your country has been put through a meat grinder and chopped up into new pieces, it's on internal factors to see if you'll make it in the long term?

Python is not limitless. It has very much reached its limit and has major problems with performance, concurrency/parallelism, static analysis and formal semantics. This is why many refer to it as a "scripting language". This doesn't necessary stop people building billion dollar businesses with it though, look at PHP.

The problem with "traditional" federated networks is the lack of fungibility. The network effects around nodes is too great, which encourages centralization over time. Cryptocurrencies allow formalizing and automating the incentives involved in running decentralized networks, which can make them actually scalable.

I have no doubt the future successful decentralized networks will use or evolve from cryptocurrencies, but not being inspired by the current crypto landscape is completely understandable. The Ponzis drown everything out these days, they cloud the judgment of too many, making the public discourse around this field unpalatable. In percentage terms, almost nobody in crypto today care about what they're actually building or what for. It's all about raising money, or pushing a Ponzi in which they are invested.

Yes, for the entire population in aggregate. But the flu is deadlier to children than covid. Simplistically and reflexively repeating "covid is not comparable to the flu" obscures this fact to some degree.

The promise here seems to be "blockchains and crypto and NFC will allow us to finally build a decentralized Internet!", and I keep thinking: we have one already. It is called "The Internet."

If you like the Windows 98 era of UI design, I recommend you having a look at the GUI for the UNIX-like embedded operating system QNX. The care, tactility and readability of that interface is in my opinion unparalleled, and hidden behind a operating system few have heard of, and fewer even used.

https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/qnx621

I honestly think anything else produced since is worse than this, and since flat design has taken root, UIs have fallen off a cliff both in usability and style.

I tend to get very Patrick Bateman-like when appreciating old UIs, the colour combination and choice of fonts on off-grey backgrounds, while modern interfaces just feel like there's no personality or warmth to them. Just flat uppercase #222 sans text on flat white background.
