The issue with the default underlining of links sounds like something that the browser ought to be able to do correctly by default.

Does anyone know why it doesn't? Is there a reason for it or is it just one of those backwards compatibility things where changing it would cause more trouble than it is worth?
I meant that we have government subsidized housing all over the country. California has its own problems related to supply constrained housing, but I don't understand why the expectation should be that anyone is entitled to live in one of the most desired locations on the planet.

54,000 words? Significant fines for non-compliance, even in the form of errors? And this is a legal spec, not a software spec, so there's no validating my implementation? And the terms are subject to possible change and different interpretations as one could get sued in any country?

Or just put up the cookie notice and not worry.
> If you've ever accidentally returned a minified file from grep you'll know most terminal emulators grind to a halt.

This doesn't sound like a rendering issue, though.

Many text editors can't cope with extremely long lines either, terminal-based or not. That happens when they store lines as flat buffers without any algorithmic optimization.

GPU has the potential to speed up terminal rendering a little bit, but in the absence of antialiasing (cache glyphs with the right background color) you can probably achieve 60fps on a 4K screen full of glyphs. It's just memcpy(), a 4K screen is about 32MB of data. 32MB * 60 = 1.8GB, today's memory is much faster.
That site may overestimate the cost of dealing with intermittency, since it doesn't include dispatchable demand. For example, if hydrogen is to be used in steelmaking or ammonia synthesis, that demand can also be added when renewables would otherwise be curtailed, and the hydrogen stored for later use.

The site's model also does not include pumped hydro, or intermediate term thermal storage.

All these extra options can only help reduce the cost of integrating renewables, and make renewables more competitive vs. nuclear.
It does not take much education with the availability of target date retirement funds these days. Also, plenty of governments have shot their populations in the foot on behalf of the people anyway by underfunding and corruptly or idiotically investing pension funds.
Exactly, my question was basically that: what scenarios are there that we need the logging to expand, that can't be expanded at the call site? The usual ones are e.g. the date and time (which are popularly set in some logging pattern like %date %loglevel %message). But beyond that, why would I need the logging infra to expand anything in the message portion?

XCode is a tool, not a platform. Cocoa is the platform, and it changes very little and very infrequently.

When people don't want to have kids it's not very hard not to. You may end up with one or two children that way due to fallibility of naive contraception, but it's hard to imagine how a couple will end up with 4 children despite wanting none.

There's a reason why Pushkin had 4 children by the time he got shot, the man was no fool to do that accidentally.
> I typically don't include [a license]…

This would be UNLICENSED or NONE then. Unlicensed software can’t be used for too many things, since it’s encumbered by copyright restrictions. (The author’s right to create copies is, in the U.S. at least, implicit, meaning that the simple act of creating a work is enough to have the “copyright” for it.)

There is The Unlicense [1] that explicitly transfers copyright to the Public Domain.

There aren't merely two sides of a "supposed" debate. There are at least two sides of a bona fide debate. And you could not possibly have missed one of the sides because its argument was copy-pasted dozens of times on the other post.

The dozens of copy-pasted comments left by mbrodersen on the other post can only be interpreted to be against the claim that companies are exploiting open source maintainers here. Under this argument that was copy-pasted dozens of times, companies paying exactly $0 for software set at $0 are behaving in a natural and predictable manner within "the marketplace." It's an unambiguous argument. It's impossible to miss because it was copy-pasted dozens of times.

Now, I didn't notice the dozens of copy-pasted mbroderson comments being flagged or downvoted. Nor did I notice dang explaining to mbroderson that copy-pasting a low-effort "market mechanics" retort throughout a long thread is against the rules of HN.

And now that argument-- which again, was copy-pasted dozens of times on the other thread-- is in the ether. You cannot merely ignore it and claim that "both sides" are somehow saying the same thing. One side clearly isn't, at least a dozen times, copy-pasted.

So I'm curious what you think about the claim that nobody is exploiting anybody here, because if open source devs want greater than $0 from companies that use their software they should charge greater than $0 to companies that use their software.

I think I stated the claim correctly-- if not perhaps mbroderson can copy-paste the argument here.
Yeah, developing Office add-ins is a nightmare and the Office team has totally screwed up Office extensibility.

FWIW they march to their own drum, they are largely independent of Windows and Developer Division. I would not tar all of Microsoft’s efforts with the same brush.
Those projects aren't donation-based. They are open core (they have an upgraded version that builds upon the open source version, adding desired value that is worth paying for)

How does suggesting something set a dangerous precedent? People are allowed to have opinions, even stupid ones.
HoTT is certainly esoteric and impenetrable for outsiders. It could even be a bunch of gibberish technobabble and we couldn't tell the difference because there's no effort to reach outside their target group and that's quite small.

Legally you can, and practically do you really think people can't reverse engineer your stuff if they want? Alternatively: it sounded like you just didn't want to support it or deal with pull requests; do you care about unofficial unsupported builds?

Edit: And yes, just distributing binaries and not worrying is the least work; I just wanted to point out that you can have it both ways if you ignore "Open Source".
The filter looks a lot coarser on that one though, fwiw
Sure there is fundamental value of an asset. It is at least the present value of the expected income stream generated for the asset over its lifetime. Cryptocurrencies do not have an income stream so they can not have a fundamental value.

"...as private businesses raising capital (and the broker dealers) are the ones that face the potential liability from the state, (exacerbated by the much higher likelyhood of poor people complaining about their money to regulators or launching their own private litigation), and so the intermediary therefore enforces the accredited investor prohibition on behalf of the state..."

As you describe this it is very different in effect from the Texas law, in that SB-8 does not require any particularized injury of the plaintiff. If you don't need to be injured to sue successfully, the litigation pressure is vastly more intense because anyone can pursue it, and the fines are more than sufficient motivation.
> Then why is it that millions of FOSS developers, despite knowing that their work may be consumed by for-profit corporations for nothing in return

Well, that in itself is already some kind of return. Widespread use - even in a commercial setting - means widespread interest in your work and possibly in you. That might not directly translate into $$$ in the bank, but it is quite useful psychologically, technologically (think: issue reports and triage, testing of new functionality, input on future design) and even financially, in a roundabout way.

Still, the main reason - for many of us anyway - is that we wrote, and write, based on _need_: We needed the software, or our friends/coworkers needed it, or maybe we perceived a public need; we wanted to satisfy this need, and there you have it.

Nitpick:

> A world without Wikipedia.

Wikipedia could have functioned just fine on some commercial equivalent of a Wiki. Wikipedia editing does not involve working on MediaWiki source code. So, not a good example IMHO.
It's reversion to the mean. The Bill of Rights was put in place to forbid the federal government from infringing on rights, since the states were sovereign already and could make their own decisions via democratic process. It's not a negation of federalism, it's a resurrection.

> But! Maintainers need to be legible to the big company department that approves and processes those invoices. Think about it: no company pays their law firm on Patreon. You'd be amazed how much harder it is to explain "what the fuck is an open collective?" for a $10k donation, compared to paying a $100k invoice to an LLC that filed a W-9 or W-8BEN and takes payment through ACH. The trick is that you can easily incorporate a pass-through US LLC and open a business account for it even if you're not a US citizen, it's not rocket science.

And yet, these companies basically pay monthly to AWS, which isn't all that different on a conceptual level. Needing a LLC just to receive donations of any sort is ridiculous, why can't these companies just be more humane, instead of drown the idea of doing anything good into needless bureaucracy?

It's like a scene out of Brazil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_(1985_film)

This is fairly standard "conservative configuration management" stuff.

The company I worked for, used to do that with everything. In fact, one of the ways that they archived versions, was to create a bootable external hard disk clone, of the entire development machine, and store that.

If you want to be absolutely sure that you have the complete building blocks, then you don't trust your package manager. Make local dupes of the packages, and integrate them into your own version control.
This is all it should have ever been. People say don't blame the cookie law but no, indeed, the architects of the cookie law are to blame. When you have crafted a bad law with poor enforcement, it looks like the consent nightmare we live with today.

Click yes or no? I don't want to waste a click more than once to say no everywhere. The pain and fallout of these rules and regulations is squarely on Schrems and others who have "pioneered" these awful laws.

Ah, the magic "just". I don't think you've really grasped the kind of people who spend years maintaining open-source projects. This is like asking sysadmins to ignore alarms and downtime. The kinds of people who can be comfortable ignoring downtime rarely become sysadmins and don't last if they do.

Feel free to prove me wrong by pointing to the major open-source project you've led for years and how good you have been at ignoring problems with it.
> The team, including Juntendo University professor Toru Minamino, confirmed that mice administered with the vaccine showed decreases in the zombie cells, medically known as senescent cells, and in areas affected by arterial stiffening.

By now this has become a trope. "Researchers develop new treatment for {UNTREATED_DISEASE}" ... in mice.

Mouse models of human disease are very limited in their predictive ability. There's a lot of research that needs to follow this before there's even a hope of a human trial, let alone vaccine. And the failure rate for treatments at the mouse stage is quite high.

Some of the comments on this thread treat this research paper as the announcement of an an imminent anti-aging vaccine. It's not.

Ask HN: What kind of knowledge does an engineer working on cloud services have?
There is a lot of information online about "Cloud Engineers" but that term is kind of reserved for people who build service using cloud providers like AWS, GCP, Cloudflare etc. Surprisingly, there is very little information about what people who built AWS, GCP, Cloudflare etc. actually do. I think it's pretty obvious that their daily routine is different from application-focused jobs, be it frontend OR backend. So-called "Infrastructure Engineering" also is synonymous with DevOps work which I believe is again different. While I understand there is a lot of work related to physical server maintenance, someone also writes software that allows deploys to any of the cloud's services. What do you call such an engineer and what do they actually do? It would be nice to hear from people who work at the aforementioned companies or similar ones.
No, it refers entirely to the despicable sentiment expressed above by 'seoaeu. Once upon a time Americans would have pretended to value speech and journalism enough to feign concern at the prospect of vote-for-every-war chickenhawks assassinating a news editor via remote deathdrone just to distract from and cease reporting of their own crimes. Many Americans no longer pretend to value freedom: the masks are coming off.

That loathsome comment wasn't even [flagged]! Good grief.
I think the operative difference here is, it requires a trained and licensed physician to perform an abortion. Anyone can take an 80% lower receiver and make one into an AR-15 in their garage with just a couple of YouTube videos to guide them.
> choose this obnoxious practice so they could continue with what they've been doing for years, which is monitoring every action a visitor does.

You're right, but I'd like to mention that, in pretty much every jurisdiction with laws like this, you cannot set or retrieve information from a user's computer without getting their consent first. Which means that accessing cookies on page load, then showing a consent banner, is no more protection then just not having a consent banner. I would always tell clients this, and even send them the relevant wording, but I don't believe it ever made the tiniest bit of difference because, as you say, they just want to keep tracking users.
You keep using the word "stupid", and I don't think you know what it means.

It would be "stupid" to not pay pensions, unless you don't see the risks in leaving a whole generation in their elderly years with no income whatsoever. Most evident of all, it would be a deadly blow agains the economy itself, especially in developed countries with aging populations.
The core "problem" stems from software having zero production/replication cost, and we live in a world where nobody is used to funding development.

Even software companies are charging rent for what already exists, and using some of that to develop their next version or new product.

The zero cost reproduction enables the free collaboration, but doesnt fit our existing ideas around paying for things.

I think that notion that all commercial software is rented needs to be widely understood.
On the other hand, I think that aging is an extremely destructive process to the individual (while possibly still a net good for the species) and billionaires who spend their money on longevity research are doing a good thing, regardless of their motivation.

It is not just death, it is the long period of chronic illness that currently tends to precede it. Understanding aging will let us combat a thousand diseases at once.

I thin the reason why this wasn't attempted before wasn't humility. Rather, people (including many people today) did not think of aging as something modifiable. Aging has been until today understood as an unstoppable force beyond human possibilities, something like gravity or a hurricane.

Now that the viewpoints are slowly changing, we may be up to picking some low hanging fruit, and if a billionaire or ten decides to fund the necessary research, I won't be complaining. Unless they somehow manage to hoard the necessary knowledge only to themselves, which is rather unlikely in the modern world, where technological and scientific capabilities are spread more than ever before.

To be a little less than polite: fuck cancer, fuck cardiovascular disease, fuck Alzheimers, fuck severe covid etc. And whoever contributes to this great fucking of age-related disease is a friend of the whole humanity.
Genuine question: Why an e-reader and not just use your phone?
It's hard to argue how illegal immigrants who are often abused and confined to bad, irregular jobs (and sometimes turn to criminals due to these conditions) would improve the culture.

There are better cultures and worse ones (such as, prison culture or Khmer Rouge), and we're talking about degradation here.

With educated immigrants, the story may be different. But it's not the kind that most people worry about.
I believe the real problem is that market-level salaries are determined by surveying comparable jobs in private firms, but without taking into account the added compensation represented by a pension. I used to work for a large regulated utility in the IT area, and my job came with a defined benefit pension. However, my salary was substantially below market, which I know because after more than 15 years, I left and took a job in private industry with an immediate 25% bump in annual salary, but without a pension.

Basically, a pension is an understanding that you accept lower pay during your career in exchange for a guaranteed annuity in retirement, but the workers have by and large completely broken their side of the tacit agreement.

>Further, even when people do save, they put money into absolute non-sense things either because they think they can beat the market (spoiler: 99.99% of us can't [1]) or because they don't know what to invest in and may not have the time to learn.

The situation has changed with the advent of near zero cost index funds and target date retirement funds.

There is no reason for pension fund managers to exist when they have been automated.
I read this and it seems like the advice is "deal with it, don't keep a savings and live paycheck to paycheck, buy assets especially if shortages start occurring."

Seems like bloomberg is prepping the masses to live in poverty.

That said, the advice is sound if you really don't make that much money. This is the same thing the farmers do in "poor" countries after they get a "huge" (for the region) payday after the harvest.

All the money ends up flowing to the corps.
Gotta love California's governor essentially saying "this is terrible, so we are going to do it."
This is irrelevant in terms of developer experience. I’m sure it’s possible to maintain an existing app for years and years, but if every blog post in existence is written for a different version of the development environment (which are vastly different from each other) and the OS Vendor (Apple in this case) is deleting or never even producing documentation on these APIs, which definitely happens, the rot is too much to keep up with for people trying to learn the system.
I like Sam. I've noticed several instances of him speaking/writing as if rural areas don't exist though. The sentence "If you are burning wood in the United States, Europe, Australia, or any other developed nation, you are most likely doing so recreationally" is just monumentally silly. It's also odd to reference the WHO on the harms of burning solid fuel (not just wood) for heat in an essay condemning recreational fire-burning.

Anyway, it's all just an analogy for religion here. Not a serious treatment of the problem of air pollution.
