Since there are no barriers in open source, it has to be a self-inflicted problem. You can start just now. Pick a project or start your own. Not every developer contributes either. Aside from that anonymous open source contributions are plentiful, so maybe it isn't even true. I don't believe any barrier aside from the technical one exists here or even can exist because there is no authority that could keep anyone out.

> women and other gender minorities

Women aren't a gender minority.

> Enforced codes of conduct matter

I don't think so, you want OSS to cater to you. You sell yourself to companies that want to enforce compliance and you are the useful vehicle. This is why you get animosity, not because of your sex.

> has found that women strongly consider open source codes of conduct before making their first contributions

I dismiss this because there is no evidence at all.

> Open source leadership

You didn't even understand the concept.

> Zainab Daodu says you have to make an example of them.

I think I need to make an example of people trying to enforce some compliance or demands without any contribution, a common problem in OSS.
>There is no indication that humans face selective pressure to die early.

While I do agree that pea plants are different, human grandparents may help in child rearing, but they may also consume time and energy for care.

We're social animals that would not kill our own grandparents for having more food/time available. But nature might find it's useful for procreation if they don't live too long.

Elderly care is a huge time/energy sink. And longevity makes the input/output unfavorable in a lot of cases.

If you're in an environment like our ancestors where food was most of the time scarce, then that adds weight to this equation.
Chessbase, mostly. This part is pretty much a solved problem: there just aren't that many games for any given player (thousands).

For a world championship match, players have so much time to prepare and put so much focus on it that preparing for your opponent's previous openings is not as important - he's not that likely to stick with the same repertoire for this match. There are one or two exceptions: one wonders if France's Maxime Vachier-Lagrave would have stuck with his rather narrow repertoire, especially with Black, if he'd managed to reach this match.
If I'm making a pie, I'm looking for one that works with my recipe. But, I don't see what this has to do with anything.

It seems that the author undermines his own argument. Opinions outside the field the prize pertain to are either relevant or they are not.

> we should see some traces of activity from afar.

There is no reason to think that. Even a nuclear war of epic proportions would be a mere spark against the incandescent floodlights of the stars.

Additionally, our own technological advancement suggests that miniaturisation, nanotech, and efficiency are the direction long-term, not mega-projects.
This analogy unfortunately cuts both ways, if you've got technology that undermines the majority government / power structure in a secure fashion, you'll always have the ability to come in as a intelligence agency and foment an insurgency movement.

Which also unfortunately points to them having exploits no one has discovered yet in said technology tools.

They can still maintain generalized situational control via additional superiority vectors(MASINT, HUMINT, GEOINT, OSINT, FININT etc.)
> You are underestimating how effective a "management" technique is demonstrating that you can shoot underperforming minions.

As others are pointing out, but spelled differently: there's a difference between having people do what you want, and becoming successful. Many CEOs are able to get the workers do whatever, and the company will fail exactly because of that. It takes skill and knowledge to know where to lead.
I did the college CNNA courses and one test was to fix a broken network (using real hardware).

There is no substitute for hands on with real hardware.
They both look very close in terms of pixel widths, though the Motif screenshot is much higher resolution so there they actually look thinner to me.

The window borders are 5px, vs. Motif's 6px (in your screenshot). The Motif button borders are actually thinner (2px vs. 3px). The Motif frames around lists are thicker (2px vs. 1px).
I think it's quite risky to assume anything about alien psychology.
Glancing at the demo I must say that it looks really neat.
Really like terminal apps because of the easy access over network. This one might come off really handy because I often find myself ssh`ing in to my server to read logs and manage docker containers.
Apologies, this was over 30 years ago!

IIRC it made extensive use of lookup tables, both building them and being driven by them.

It wasn't a complete implementation, but it proved the theory and scratched an itch.
That's the age of life, not humans. Humans could easily appear a million years earlier.
From the link you posted:

> It's important to note that this fallacy should not be used to dismiss the claims of experts, or scientific consensus. Appeals to authority are not valid arguments, but nor is it reasonable to disregard the claims of experts who have a demonstrated depth of knowledge unless one has a similar level of understanding and/or access to empirical evidence.
>Even if we assume that aliens have our exact mentality, we figured out to not genocide the Sentinelese. Why the aliens can't figure out as much?

There is a kinship bond within members of the same species, although it isn't universal. As John Donne said, "Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." We're human and the Sentinelese are human, and even though we're not genociding them (mostly, I think, because they have nothing worth killing over otherwise they would have been dead a long time ago,) we're still genociding plenty of other fellow humans. We even avoid killing animals to extinction because humans share and suffer the consequences of living in a complex ecosystem with other beings. But we also cut the fins off of sharks for soup and throw them back into the water to drown.

But none of those connections would exist between aliens and humans. We're not one of them, nor do we share the same biome, so our deaths might well be entirely void of meaning or consequence for them. In a Dark Forest scenario, there's little to no advantage to contact or cooperation with an alien species, and every possible advantage in sending a GRB to fry anything that so much as looks like life before it has a chance to evolve into a threat.
Sure a shill would say that:

flew to Tenerife in 2019 and took a ferry to La Gomera, wasn't big deal to do so. Then just rent a car and travel around the island by yourself. Fortunately, I was able to experience the language myself when I hiked to Mirador de Abrante. The old dock for banana ships (or at least what's left of it) is also well worth seeing (Pescante de Hermigua). I could talk for hours about my stay there, an incredibly beautiful place.
Great, more gimmicky plastic crap that'll be fun for five minutes, stored away for a decade and then ends up in a landfill. Good job you guys.
Because most of us aren’t in a position where we can give away our code.

There is a minefield regarding using AGPL servers and I prefer working around it.

If I build AGPL code into my code or vice versa however it becomes very clear as far as I cam see: I have to provide a download link to the entire product.

For many of us that is not an option: My clients would of course reject that, and of course I would not use it for my own for-profit projects either.

Spending 2y on a Startup
Two thoughts after building for 2 years.

I think they apply to life in general ... Anyway.

1. Being more pragmatic.

Expecting to sacrifice a lot of your idea for the customer. We started out with this experimental exotic usecase for "serverless" tech (you can see the old posts on my profile) we thought was really cool. But people kept using it to host their web apps. Eventually we built a product for that.

Imagine engineers at Apple or Samsung. They spend years on building groundbreaking batteries and chipsets. And then people use their phones mostly for TikTok.

2. Doing what already has been done.

There's this trend in startups to reinvent the wheel. In the beginning it's very exciting ("We'll hire differently, and we'll give stock differently..."). But it gets tiring, and after a year you just want things to work.

Imagine you're going fishing. You wouldn't invent a new pole, a new camping chair, and a new way of catching fish. You would mostly use what is proven. Company-building is similar.

Let me know your thoughts
Jakob (building lightbottle.dev)
This is pretty cool, but I wonder if toddlers nowadays even understand what a cord phone is. After all, playing is often just mimicking adult behavior, and adults aren't using corded phones anymore, so to a child this might not be a fun toy. A cool toy for adults, though.
This goes beyond human culture. Virtually all primates hug. Humans are primates. Heck, I think most mammals are into cuddling.

can I ask which cloud provider you use?

we're currently on AWS so it's a bit hard for us to price lower, at least until we go multi-cloud
That's a shame :/

Looks like I commented on that thread way back then. And I think my comment there was at least mostly correct. I was always under the impression that much of the core of the product, the interesting bits, was done in assembly, or a layer on top of assembly (they used something called SYMPL in the DESQ and DESQview eras, but I'm not sure about DESQview/X). This would have been for performance and memory constraints.

I'll have to call and get clarification on all that. I might be mistaken.

In the later years, Quarterdeck transitioned to building DOS and Windows applications like CleanSweep. That was the era when Symantec bought them. I always got the impression that DESQview wasn't really an interest of theirs. It would be interesting to know what they would have done with the source in that era.
I love how the Xoshiro PRNG Family is replacing Mersenne Twister more and more.

Why advertise when you can create a product people want to talk about?

I think there are several reasons. I for one use text files a lot when I need. Excel does not support Regex, I can simply copy paste a column into a text file and apply regex, or find unique lines.

However, WYS* apps can do what most people does with text files and then some. I believe using text files are limited to those who are superusers or programmers, etc. (with exceptions of course)
What an apt name.
Don't both feelings go the same way ?

Last month people were angry they released a lazier version of their toy, and today they're praised for their efforts on new toys.

People like nice things.
Yeah, quite honestly the gangs can just, you know, talk. Writing in books sounds exactly like the kind of thing that someone would make up, inspired in movies or something.
Thanks for understanding :)

The reference to Jurassic Park* is actually quite on point, given the dinosaur vba is.

Nope, not happening.

I wish I was more of a hacker/programmer because I'd like to do some protocol sniffing and create a connector for Node-Red so that I could link the appliance to my home automation system without becoming a personal data asset for the manufacturer.

There's a been a suspiciously downplayed number of ephemeral hidden services that get raided / internationally taken down on the Tor network for it to be mere circumstance.

No one tries to take notice since they're hosting the worst content on the internet regularly.
I can't believe at this point in the process, after all this experience, politicians are being so immature as to interpret travel bans as punitive action. It really undermines the amazing scientific work that's being done. By now, every country must have been on another countries red list when they've been doing comparitively worse (let alone following the announcement of a new variant). No messengers were shot here. Isolation is effective when executed properly and we're talking about potentially saving many lives.

Even as an 8yo, I understood that if I wasn't allowed to go to a friends birthday party because I had the flu, it wasn't because anyone was being mean to me!
This and alcohol is how I ended up married and with kids. YMMV.
I read a few that indicated that the US wouldnt do really badly in an "all out" scenario. The US is geared towards fighting colonial wars rather than facing off against equiv-tech adversaries.

They can help a lot (and with relative safety) by firing MCBMs from far away, downing Chinese satellites, supplying arms and materiel beforehand and sending subs to sink chinese invading ships but aircraft carriers, fighter jets and long range bombers would all be useless.

Most wargame scenarios indicate a heavy loss of life on all sides (partly coz the US does insist on using easily sinkable aircraft carriers). China might be able to win if it threw everything it had at the invasion but realistically the government would topple if it deliberately tolerated extreme loss of life (60%+ attrition rate for invading soldiers, perhaps?) - especially if it was doing it invading their Chinese "brothers".

If it were as easy as you said it would already have happened.

After reading the comments I feel I will go against a strong current here: I think DNS blocks are the right approach and the judges do understand DNS sufficiently.

When it comes to laws and their enforcement, I often wonder what HN users think would be a good approach. Most often my impression is that the favored approach seems to be of the form "the internet does not need any laws" paired with a condescending tone that everyone else doesn't understand the internet.

Explanation:

DNS blocks are the easiest hurdle to put up to deterrent most people. Sure DNS blocks can be easily circumnavigated, but so can locks. (It being easily avoided by more informed users might actually be a plus, preventing overzealous censorship being too effective.)

Actual enforcement of domestic law on providers based in other countrs (of the deemed illegal content) is not realistically possible/not a good tradeoff of using resources and most importantly: Not their business. But that does not mean that a country has to accept everything that is legal somewhere (or at least not persecuted in that jurisdiction).

Similar reasons prohibit enforcement on foreign DNS zones. Therefore, local DNS resolvers, even if just relaying to those foreign ones, would be the target of enforcement.
Now Kafka has ZK taken out and tiered storage coming in these factors are becoming mute points. With tiered storage Kafka has 2 layers and hence the benefits of broker/storage decoupling.
By comparison, Pulsar has broker, bookkeeper, S3, and ZK layers to contend with. This is why a second layer was never added to Kafka directly.
Because it's my image, and I should be able to exert a reasonable control over it. When someone publishes my image, I lose that control, and in these days that could mean anything, from people ignoring it to people making a meme out of it. And I also I shouldn't have to justify why do I have a right to control my own image.

> I feel like if you carry the argument far enough, then this should extend to satellite imagery of your home. Isn't that an equivalent violation of your privacy?

Yes it is. Luckily published satellite imagery doesn't tend to have enough resolution to actually make out distinguishing details of what would be going on in my backyard, but I'd actually be angry if they did.

> What about traffic cameras and other webcams setup in public places for public consumption online?

Luckily again, those usually don't have enough resolution to make out identifying details.

> If I have an equivalent right to photograph in public,

You don't. Privacy trumps your right to photograph in public. If you feel I'm making a funny face, you don't have the right to make me a photo.

> then it's an undue burden on me and a probably an even greater violation of your privacy to chase you and everyone else down and ask for the rights to reproduce it online

Asking for permission is not a violation of privacy.

> I'm not sure this is a feature I want to add to our public spaces.

The solution is easy: then don't make photos where people are identifiable without their permission. The alternative is you do, and imagine that you post it and someone makes a meme out of someone that appears there. How would you feel about it? Would your opinion change if someone came to you and said "hey, remember that photo you published where I was on it? Well now I'm the laughing stock of half a million people".

Thanks for sharing your story.

but lol this strategy memo is so oblivious to the company's current strategy and just unfit. Not surprised it did't get a reply.

It's a net negative. Zero useful thoughts in there for Stripe's founders.

The worst part is trying to sound smart while expressing really superficial thoughts. No bigger sign of incompetence.

The sad part is that a dedicated server don't cost that much. (a 60$/month rented server could handle a lot of users if the underlying engine isn't poorly optimizated). But like old time mmorpg guild basic infrastructure (teamspeak/website server) often the financial burden is on a single person.
3 things I've now come to appreciate as a 2x founder

- a startup without a launch date is just a fantasy projectWoozy face

- a product without a marketing plan is just a tech experiment

- adding features without customer feedback gets you zero sales

- calculate your ROI, for example, here https://didoagency.com/email-roi-calculator/
I think there is a conflict of interest at the root of fixed price jobs. You are incentivised to provide as little as possible within that fixed price and the customer is incentivised to extract as much as possible.

This is extremely backwards. You don't need to photograph anyone in public places. Would you be ok with having a photo making a ridiculous face online? Or a photo where it looks like you're going to hit someone? Or a photo ignoring a homeless person? All of those would miss context, of course, but the Internet doesn't need context to do whatever with that pic.

Maybe stamping names has fallen out of fashion for data protection reasons. I seem to recall disquiet about the US federal government's access to library records under the George W Bush administration. Maybe some people would be similarly unhappy with their fellow library users knowing which books they'd borrowed.

On a similar note, my university used to operate an alumni directory (open to all alumni), and the local paper used to publish the names of all graduates. Both were stopped without any stated reason, but I wonder whether they were judged to violate data protection law or implicated in harassment.
