> Plug computing and Linksys routers weren't cheap, and the Pi was.

For their time (20 years ago), they certainly were cheap. $100 or so for a small power efficient box that could run almost a whole Linux distribution was an amazing bargain. Before that, you needed a good-sized desktop or server to do anything involving a Unix-like OS, or paid dearly for the convenience of a laptop.

And it wasn't much before that, that running Unix on any microcomputer was just a dream.

It's hard to comprend just how amazingly affordable computing has become in such a short amount of time.

As far as I can tell the existing policy is not to allow public repos of a zero day vuln exploit while it is still unpatched. The code is allowed after the issue is mitigated

This seems like a pretty reasonable policy all things considered
You're making the same mistake all the star eyed futurists make, which is to not realize that in reality, all exponential curves are just early/mid stage sigmoidal curves. You can paradigm shift all you want, that's not going to make infinite progression a thing.
I would argue, however, that the situation for shells is even worse, as:

1. The version of bash is even more out of date (Dating back to 2007 on current macOS releases).

2. #!/bin/sh Could give you any one of a number of slightly different shell implementations.

3. The differences between Python versions are clearly documented, and, while painful, possible to work around. The differences between shell versions can be far more subtle and more difficult to discover.

4. You not only need to deal with the shell version, but the version of every tool you use as well.

GNUstep is not WINE for Mac/NEXTstep (Darling is tho: https://www.darlinghq.org/)

Why would you want to use GNUstep on Mac? Because it lets you write native software using Foundation/Cocoa/etc that you can actually port to other platforms.

The tweet is also wrong, github has responded and claimed they didn't remove the repo.
The fallacy here is to assume that, because this is what have happened before, it will always happen in the future.

Yes, farming got efficient with tractors, allowing farmers to move to the cities to fill jobs in factories that was starting up at the dawn of the mass production and industrial revolution. But that does not mean that all future resources (i.e. humans) being freed due to automation, tech development will have new jobs to move to. That there are jobs suitable for humans created. That humans are needed as part of production of goods, services, content etc.

Also I would love to see a reference to why progress rely on creative destruction. Please provide pointers.

You are describing some speculative future that doesn't really correlate with historical progress. Same could've been said about the industrial revolution, but somehow it did end up dramatically benefitting all of humanity.
There's also the issue of performance-optimised assembly routines, which impacts many native libraries doing things such as crypto, image processing, etc.

Over the past ~30 years of internetting, I’ve developed a reflexive habit of wagging the mouse over the screen of anything that has stalled progress, particularly in web browsers. It clearly has some kind of impact at times and is always with a shot. I’m guessing it pings the application in some kind of ui event loop.
> Like why would people...do stuff if not for value in exchange?

People do stuff because they're curious or bored. Because they want to help and feel useful. Sure if you've worked all your life, you may spend a few months just doing nothing and just reconnecting with your inner feelings and environment. But after a while i can assure you you won't be able to stand lying around: pathological laziness is very rare. [0] Many people without employment suffer from not having a sense of purpose.

But what about the tasks nobody wants to do, like collecting garbage? Why can't we distribute those tasks? Why would a certain caste of people have to do the unpleasant tasks for others? If some task is a burden to the community, it's only fair the unpleasantness is distributed somewhat-equally. If i lived in a big city, i personally wouldn't mind collecting garbage once or twice a year, and the value i would derive from that would be that all garbage including mine is duly collected. [1]

Likewise, why would i help another person with some task i'm competent with? It can come out of simple empathy, but there's another way to look at it. The capitalist system treats exchanges as a zero-sum game where if i don't get my share at every step of the way i'm getting screwed because someone else will have it. A Commune without private property [2] treats exchanges as some form of creative process: the more we share, the more we have, and the more we can share... the better off everyone is in the end.

> Honestly the only thing I came up with is basically if you forcibly modified humans in one generation, making people want to help each other for no benefit to themselves.

Haha, that sounds like a pretty cool scenario for a movie in which you're not sure if it's a utopia or dystopia. Can't wait for the trailer to come out ;)

> Anyway, this was a fun thought exercise for me so thanks!

Cool! It can be more than a thought experiment, though. No person (myself included) is going to come up with the solutions to all our problems. The point of anarchism is that distributing power (so that everyone has a voice) is a prerequisite for finding the better outcomes for everyone. This can be practiced in every field of life on a daily basis.

If you enjoyed the thought experiment, i can only recommend to read some more anarchist literature: i've personally profoundly enjoyed Emma Goldman's autobiography, among others. Submedia's Trouble [3], in video form, documents various questions/practices related to anarchism.

[0] I hear Devon Price has some good works lately on that topic, but i haven't given it a read yet.

[1] Of course in a better world, we wouldn't have a garbage-oriented society. Capitalism produces waste on so many levels it's hard to imagine a less-efficient system. I take this example because that's something all people who live in cities can relate to.

[2] Private property does not designate personal belongings. Of course in a free Commune everyone still has personal stuff. Property is the authority derived from a piece of paper over resources you have no use of.

Thank you for the good words), we are glad that Scailer is working significantly faster for you than other email clients. We tested Scailer with email accounts with 500,000 - 1,000,000 email messages, and it works fast. Due to this Scailer has no option for limiting the count of messages to download. Yes, it may be a bit unusual that Scaler does not require customization, creation of folders and manual control. The application should automatically sort messages by contacts and robots and save user's time. Users can control where messages are displayed: in “Contacts mail”, “Promo and robots” or only in messages of a particular contact.
I appended a clarification because it was unclear to some people.
> Native Tongue [published 1984] is a feminist science fiction novel by American writer Suzette Haden Elgin, the first book in her series of the same name. The trilogy is centered in a future dystopian American society where the 19th Amendment was repealed in 1991[1] and women have been stripped of civil rights. A group of women, part of a worldwide group of linguists who facilitate human communication with alien races, create a new language for women as an act of resistance. Elgin created that language, Láadan, and instructional materials are available.

That’s the other side of the builder mindset. It’s relatively easy for builders to build things that solve their own problems. That’s a tool and builders like tools. It takes a really big mental leap to go from “I built a thing” to “I built a product.”

The thing is, things are products. But the answer isn’t “all hackers are wrong, you’re dumb for not involving me early on.” Rather, the answer is ‘chill, you’ve got this.’

I think this post deserves a friendlier response. magicroot seems intent on offering helpful advice. Nowhere does (s)he say "hire me" or that they have the only answer; in fact the opposite.

They are suggesting that just as a unit test is an important aspect of determining functionality, it may be helpful to have a metric of how much excitement a certain feature may engender.

I'm not going to judge the quality of that advice; I just offer the possibility that it was a well-intentioned attempt to add a view from a different professional perspective.

perhaps we can be forgiving to someone who is perhaps acting in a socially awkward manner?
Ask HN: Is this CCPA-related spam?
I am involved with a small-scale open source CMS project. We've had a recent uptick of incoming emails concerning CCPA, with a similar boilerplate:

==8<==

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is [REDCATED], and I am a resident of Norfolk, Virginia. I have a few questions about your process for responding to California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) data access requests:

Would you process a CCPA data access request from me even though I am not a resident of California?
Do you process CCPA data access requests via email, a website, or telephone? If via a website, what is the URL I should go to?
What personal information do I have to submit for you to verify and process a CCPA data access request?
What information do you provide in response to a CCPA data access request?
To be clear, I am not submitting a data access request at this time. My questions are about your process for when I do submit a request.

Thank you in advance for your answers to these questions. If there is a better contact for processing CCPA requests regarding [REDACTED].com, I kindly ask that you forward my request to them.

I look forward to your reply without undue delay and at most within 45 days of this email, as required by Section 1798.130 of the California Civil Code.

Sincerely,

[REDACTED]

I don't recognise any of the names (we're a small project, we know a lot of the users between us) and they're all using small / anonymous email providers. The emails arrive at an advertised email address, so it's not obviously a test to check for a warm human…or is it? A reply is sent with a link to our privacy policy, and a clarification that we don't store any user data outside of forum user accounts, and answers to the questions. It's a copy-paste job to send a reply, and it's done promptly, but I'm confused as to what's triggered the influx of emails. Am I missing something?
Yeah I have been happy with require/commonjs for the last ~10 years, I'm not sure why suddenly it seems to be a problem.

The main problem to me is this push to this ESM thing, which I don't know what it brings to me. I understand it's a frontend thing, so I'm not sure why nodejs end npm need to be impacted.
I'm a developer, and I can't find anything disrespectful in OP's comment. I don't know anything about marketing to determine if what they are saying is true, but they are giving their opinion based on their experience, which I find valuable and worth considering.
Does it support Miller Column views? (the column view in MacOS Finder)
I also feel like marketing has gotten much much harder in recent years due to extreme saturation of products. Take games for example, there were 11,000 released on Steam this year alone. I've noticed over the past couple years a lot of subreddits I frequent have been overtaken by people promoting their products. Even if you have something really great, it seems like you're sharing it with audiences who are now really worn out from it all.
I think there is also a level of trust you need with your VPS. Every exciting that there are cheaper options, they do have their uses.
When I hear "complete" replacement for Explorer, I think a replacement Windows shell, not "just" a replacement file manager.
Because I just want to finish that one feature before sharing it ;)
Jokes aside, I just don't like the idea of spamming communities. I probably should do it more often though.
> a deeply misguided comment on HN that claimed that Windows 98 was the beginning of integrated networking in Windows.

I've noticed that younger crowds seem to treat Windows 98 as a big revolutionary release, attributing many features that were actually introduced in Windows 95 as being uniquely new to 98; rather than Windows 98 being a rather minor incremental upgrade to 95 as it actually was.

Not really sure why this phenomenon has happened. Maybe people had glimpses of Windows 98 in childhood and don't know what the prior version was like? or that Windows 98 probably had a longer lifespan than 95 did?

From the user perspective, almost the only differences are Active Desktop and titlebar gradients. FAT32 and USB are other tangible differences, though it's worth noting that 95B also had those features, it just wasn't available at retail.
Scailer should not work in the background until you change the option "Minimize Scailer on close" in the Settings -> General settings (do not forget to save settings). By background we mean working without a window. Also, Windows suspends running applications when you put the computer into sleep mode. You have full control of background work. High power utilization may be related to the initial downloading of a large number of messages from your email account. Later Windows should recalculate these statistics.
Will you stop using energy produced by fossil fuels until then?

The article kind of describe the lack of urgency that world war 2 provided, and fossil fuels could be the missing trigger. Operate the energy grid we got now without using unsafe fossil fuels that pollute the environment, causing max extinction, floods, famine, displacement and general mayhem on the planet.

Forced to be without fossil fuels, maybe nuclear deserve a second look. It is distinctly safer for human and the world in general compared to fossil fuels. You can't really get a more unsafe system than releasing the toxic waste into the air, and even if nuclear plant did that it would still be likely safer than coal. Per energy produced, coal plants create more radioactive waste than nuclear, and they just release it into the air.
It's any solo business, really, and it's more than just marketing. I hate doing bookkeeping as well. Wrenching on machinery runs the gamut from fun but unprofitable to "sweet hell, how does an induction motor work, and why won't this one start?!". Photography is a lot less fun when you're doing it for promoting your work. Editing photos is a skill neither I nor my wife has. We've been outsourcing that work.

Hell, my nontechnical wife does our website (on squarespace), because as a recovering programmer, I'd fall prey to the instinct to keep tweaking stuff instead of hitting publish.

But doing all that shit is ultimately worth it if you love what you do and also eating :-)

I'm trying to look at the marketing part as being an educator, not to other people in my trade, but to the public who know about as much about it as I do about bookkeeping and photoshop.

Now don't go looking for my blog on my website and tell me off about it not being there. I know. I'm just as bad about publishing as the author of TFA :-)
I really hope that as self driving cars get better all of these car rental scammers are going to go bankrupt and something like Uber or the car manufacturers themselves take over that market.
How about Tailwind?
The first (and only!) time I used Europcar, I'd been using Avis for years and was used to their way of doing business, to the point where I didn't even bother to do a cursory handover walk-around anymore, because I knew they weren't going to be hardasses. It is absolutely essential with Europcar though (and I think Hertz too), to do a very thorough documentation of every tiny pre-existing scuff, scratch and ding.

Car Next Door is the same, but I'm willing to put up with a bit of inconvenience there to get a service I can't get at a reasonable price from the big rentals (light commercial vehicle available close by and for short periods).
> Instead of our workdays becoming fewer and shorter,

If that happened any increase in productivity would be offset by the reduced time worked, so no one would get richer (very simplistically).

At the end of the day, humans are competitive, so of course hours worked will never really reduce, but it's that competition which drives innovation

And we're all getting richer. Sure there's more billionaires then ever, but if we're all getting richer so what? (and yes we are getting richer: the economic progress in Asia and Africa over the last two decades has been incredible. And the west continues to develop also. The world is richer than it has ever been)
>Note that this is after the Neanderthals went extinct. It follows that since there are people alive today with Neanderthal ancestry, there must have been people alive at the identical ancestor point who had Neanderthal ancestry and who have descendants alive today, and so by the definition of the identical ancestor point everyone alive today is a descendent of all such people.

Not by definition. Adam is older than Eve which suggests we are descendant from multiple mate's of Eve. Some might have had neanderthal ancenstry, some might have not.
A lot of people who have lived entirely in the x86 world are completely unaware that a single CPU architecture can have many, many, many different incompatible types of system architecture - x86 means a few sub-types of BIOS + UEFI-based PCs, while ARM, Power, etc have far more variance.
Thank you, we will recheck Scaler with this version of dovecot, fix the potential issue, and let you know when it works.
That’s the point. You’ll still get a hit. If it’s the RCE you won’t. Just went through this with an email security provider, would get 3-4 pings with log4j payloads, 2-3 with inert ones.
No, he is not. This is literally just one statement, without any justification or deduction. If anything, this is the opposite of logic. The fact that said statement is utter nonsense is not ever than important any more in this context, because it failed way before that comes into play.
Of course "open source" is not broken. It works exactly how it was intended to work and it perfectly models our economic system where a lot of people do essential jobs but are underpaid or not paid at all.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't use Vivaldi.
When you use Turks the toughest problem is managing the workers who work at a high rate but do poor quality work. Some of these people might do better work if they got feedback (e.g. would be willing to pay them a bonus if they slow down and do a better job. It’s tempting though just to cut them off.

Medieval people where aware that you could send messages faster than a horse.

Smoke signals where perhaps the oldest form of long distance communication, and was used across the full 7,300 kilometres Great Wall of China. Though actual speeds are less clear.

For physical messages, attaching them to projectiles or birds was also used. A man on foot or a horse had other advantages.

In this scenario, a certain percentage of the population won't get married.

My point is only that if the population increases, that percentage will stay the same. The number of marriages will increase proportionally.

> Anyway: that was the sole significant improvement in networking in Win98 that I am aware of. The other thing 98 could do was drive multiple monitors, if you had the right — that is, from an extremely limited selection — graphics cards.

The selection included all common S3 models, and you just had to have one S3 graphic card to be compatible, and they were already dirt cheap. It was AMAZING.

This was the real killer feature (most of the time I didn't even have one IP address because dial-up internet was expensive).
