When you're young being excluded from the principle cultural medium film/television cause social exclusion to done extent. When you can't afford to pay I think this provides a genuine moral reason for copyright infringement. With morally defensible copyright terms it might not.

As you age (30s-40s), generally your can afford more and so access some of these most popular cultural artefacts without copyright infringement; so you should pay. Also, it may become less important to establishing and maintaining friendships and status (like if you find your niche in society).

I don't think those following such a social progression need be aware of it.
We rightly shut down the sense of entitlement that some users have to project maintainers' time and effort. I believe this whole recurring "open source + discord = bad" talking point comes from the same sense of entitlement.

As an open source maintainer, I use discord (along with email, issues, discussions, PRs, Twitter, site chat etc.) as another option for those wishing to use it. It's not forced upon anyone. A small groups' esoteric (sometimes self-imposed) handicaps doesn't constitute a change in course for everyone else.
Opening line:
"What did Ludwig Wittgenstein mean by comparing a philosophical problem to a magic trick? Ask professional magicians."

Without having fully read the article, my take would be that it relates to verification.

A philosopher (I think) is prepared to consider those things generally accepted as truth but which he cannot verify personally as 'open to interpretation'. He would be prepared to review what that would mean if those assumptions were incorrect.

In a similar yet reversed way, a conjurer is attempting to trick your verification and make you accept as truth something which is actually false - if one's senses are misled this enables the trick.

Both relate to verification and the tricks that are played. Both philosopher and conjurer are in the 'meta domain' - ie away from the standard, normal understanding of sense data.

In answer to the question in the opening line, the answer is that there can only be one answer - there is objective truth.

However, humans limited sense data may prevent us knowing that answer sometimes. In those cases, in the absence of an easy or obvious answer, philosophers may use their framework and language to provide something that seems to answer our question. (Apparently, we need answers and cannot live with uncertainty - without a second thought we accept philosophical/religious/linguistic trickery as true rather than be scrupulous in reviewing our untested assumption to reveal the trick.)

But the truth is singular but the (philosophical) explanations are multiple - they could all be wrong. Those framework answers could be wrong.

The moral - for me - in this story is that scepticism about all sense data is advised, and all provided frameworks that have been provided without being based in personal verification. Whether that is news, corporate statements, TV, beneficent philanthropists, history, science, even family members (the later may be unintentionally bought in) - all can mislead us, creating (or parroting) satisfactory stories that may not relate to an objective truth, even if they say they do. In fact there is a nefarious angle to this - if a conjurer is able to trick most people that may provide an advantage - in the absence of good information the conjurer is able to harness our energy/resources/times/money to their ends.
Elitism can be a force for good. IRC is great but somewhat impenetrable compared to modern messaging platforms, this acts as a filter. Mailing lists seem to be the most impenetrable, still haven't figured those out.

A thesis: large, significant open source projects must keep moving or die
This is absolutely true but "all users who could be bothered keeping a client running w/autoreconnect to that specific channel" is still less inflationary than "all users who bothered joining this channel cluster ever".

So ... you're absolutely correct, and it was kinda fascinating to get a clearer handle on those numbers as I helped what felt like half the world migrate to libera, but I don't think your being right about that makes your point a particularly good nitpick of the article itself.
Midori MD Notebook - A6 Grid Paper, Pilot FriXion Ball Slim Biz Gel Pen - 0.38 mm, and sticky notes helped me organize my life the last two years.

That would be nice to know, our non profit organization is struggling to get a Braintree account enabled and their customer support just doesn't answer us.
I agree with requiring them to cover any new costs they’re creating for society as a whole, but it definitely isn’t the case that “Before social media existed the world got along just fine”.

Racism, sexism, homophobia, sectarian terrorism, and that’s just what I remember from childhood. Go back further, Cold War nukes and McCarthyism and presidential assassinations, Trade Union strikes and The Winter of Discontent, the Winds of Change and the Cypriot war of independence[0].

We’ve always been like this; the question is if social media is making it worse, and how much worse.

[0] the Cypriot war of independence isn’t ever discussed in the UK, to the extent that until a few years ago I assumed Cyprus just used to be part of Greece and not under British colonial rule
Plenty of companies right now are trying to give their workers a break to prevent burnout, keep talent, etc. Not to mention a lot of folks request this time off for the holidays anyway. Losing your payment processor in 48 hours would just be as substantial of an issue even if they had an entire crew anyways.
Just thought I'd point out that, unless the OP has moved companies, the OP runs a payment provider: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27674236

That does not tie in with the OPs comments in this thread. I am happy for the OP to correct me, but thought I'd mention this.
Yeah and it worked last time. As a Stripe customer myself with way less revenue than OP, I worry about this a lot. How can any sane company terminate any client with revenue (any size) without having been in contact to sort issues before hand or if not possible, to terminate them with a grace period?

This is insanity.

I think most of the points about IRC are solvable with the biggest pro of them all being that it's fast, omnipresent and low bandwidth, if you need to have history and other things, and can afford to have a raspberry always-on, then install a quassel server and keep it there, I have a dedicated server running my email and media server where I also put a `ghcr.io/linuxserver/quassel-core` docker container, and it doesn't consume anything
I just want to add I dont think any Europeans ( including Brits ) are exactly "happy" with our public services, so to speak. I mean NHS in UK get constant complain on just about everything.

But once you zoom out into the world, the surprising results and conclusion is that they are not too bad. I often find that strange, as if there are lots of low hang fruit not optimised.

"I often hear arguments that its “easier to pirate movies than use DRM’d software”. But I don’t think this is actually the case for the average non-tech-savvy person. If you can operate a torrent client or even know what one is, you are much savvier than the average Netflix/Roku/etc user."

I don't know many folks that actually torrent things now. If you want to be able to see it offline, sure, or if you want the physical file. It isn't necessary, though. Even if it was, the last torrenting software I used was pretty easy and you didn't need to be that tech savvy to use it.

It doesn't matter because this isn't necessary. Streaming sites exist, and they are definitely easy to use. So long as you have a decent internet connection, there is no real reason to download anything.
It's always weird how people keep insisting pirating stuff is hard and only for "techies", when all it takes is to go to a trusted website and hit the play or download button. You can literally get pirate streaming sites in google results by searching "watch <movie name> online", often in reasonable video quality.

I wonder what kind of hoops you have gone through in helping your friends with something as simple as this to have such an opinion.
UK here.

There was a shortage of self-test lateral flow tests a couple of weeks ago, but that's over - they have plenty in stock now. I can go to the NHS website and order a pack of 7 tests, and they'll arrive the next day. They're free.

Teachers and medical staff don't even have to order them; they're provided (required) at the place of work.

I happen to be signed-up for a survey by the Office of National Statistics; they send someone round every week to get a swab from me for PCR testing. I get the result from that by email, the next day. I have more confidence in the LFT than the PCR test, because some of the PCR test labs have been shown to be dodgy.

The ONS is doing PCR tests because the PCR test gives them information about variants, that you don't get from the LFT. The ONS cares about variants and how they are mutating and spreading; I don't. LFT is good enough for me.

I'm going to do an LFT right now, because I'm about to attend a family gathering.
Once I logged in once manually from a browser running on the VPS the bitlbee plugin for discord has worked fine for me since.

I am, however, very much aware that it may stop working at any given moment and have made sure I have 'plan B' ways to keep in touch with anybody/anything on discord that I actually care about.
> I personally don't see this as entirely a negative. If I have an issue usually I can just dm a company on twitter and I don't have to call anyone, deal with phone trees, or be there actively waiting for a response. I know this doesn't work well for folks that don't use twitter and it's definitely not a replacement for proper customer service. I do think it's a good addition to proper customer support, though.

Pivoting the angle on your perspective a bit:

"If a customer having a problem with our service isn't technical enough to backchannel us, they're not technical enough to be a viral thorn in our side."

To be clear, this is a process defect, and no company should aspire to build this into their processes as a feature. It's a net negative for absolutely everyone except perhaps you, me, and in the short term, the company. I'd argue it's a long term negative for you and me too as we hawk a service to others based on our current experiences, keeping the product from improving for everyone, including ourselves.

you don't need them in the language standard. Common Lisp is an extensible language and you would use one of the libraries available.

> On the other hand, there are many cases where relying just on cons, car, cdr, and related functions results in hard-to-read, hard-to-change code.

That's why Common Lisp has structures and CLOS. One builds on top of those.

Phone number verification is purely one of many ways for Discord to drive down the amount of spam. Not used for any other purposes. We’re ofc working hard on enabling alternative solutions.

I run this freemium Chrome extension myself, you use to crawl websites you're working on to find SEO, speed and security issues:

https://www.checkbot.io/

You can recheck multiple pages at a time as often as you want to confirm you've fixed issues (including localhost sites) so you can catch problems before they make it to your live site. Most tools like this also only check a single page at a time so they miss hard to spot problems like e.g. duplicate titles between pages (bad for search results) and broken links on pages you might have created when working on another page.

I got started making it because I couldn't find anything similar when working as a freelance web developer on websites that had lots of issues to fix.

My opinion, but I think this a Stallman-esque, overexagerrated and unrealistic thing to say. Discord is by far the best chat/voice client, any alternative you try to mention, I'm sorry but it's inferior in atleast a dozen ways.

If you don't want to alienate those of your users who are so allergic to proprietary software - what about alienating all the users who prefer discord and don't want to install whatever "free" alternative you suggest? Serious question, because in my experience, the amount of people in the latter outnumber the other 100:1. Almost every developer I know loves having all their projects and developer communities on discord, and get annoyed when there's one using IRC that we want to interact with.

Another thing to consider is, how user/developer friendly discord is (privacy/donating to open source/opensourcing their tech/etc), its not like they're some big evil company - their code is proprietary, they're a business.

I completely respect you personally not wanting to use discord for FOSS projects, as a matter of principle/ideology, but I just think it's not realistic or practical.

> 'The mind is the brain' -- his very first premise is a controversial assumption, one that's a long way from being universally accepted. Without that assumption, the rest of his argument falls apart.

You wrote a rather lengthy post saying you disagree, mixed with an empty appeal to authority, but you provided no counterpoint or evidence or rationale or hypothesis refuting or contradicting the assertion that the mind is the brain.

If the mind is not the brain then what is it, then?

I doubt that outside of special cases this would actually provide significant benefits.

Suitable languages already exist (see Erlang), but the fact of the matter is that a vast array of problems don't benefit from parallelism or aren't parallelisable at all. Not to mention that a good chunk of the benefits would be negated by the increase in coordination and synchronisation between parallel tasks.
We used Braintree and during the time they were bought out by PayPal and all th terrible PayPal support was integrated. We could never reach a live person at Braintree again and ended up switching processors.

It's scary to think a processor can't answer a phone call but hold your entire business' money in their hands.

Movies that are theater-only often have very poor copies upfront. Camcorder-in-the-theater sort of poor. The site I use tells folks when it is in cam, and I wait until there are HD versions.

I suggest the same if you want some quality. Streaming pirated stuff takes patience - if you really want to watch things early, with good quality, I'd suggest theaters if those are available to you right now (COVID limits this).
You don't know what the OP has left out of their post. I am pretty sure Stripe didn't terminate a major customer like that overnight because some admin or bot got bored.

> Mail and mailgroups face a similar UX challenge. Not everyone is willing to endure the pain of learning and using mailgroups and IRC just because they're FOSS.

Yeah, it's really hard to use. I can't seem to find definitive documentation about mailing lists anywhere. I've found documentation for the software itself but actual use seems to be some kind of arcane knowledge. Last time I tried to participate in one I ended up emailing someone directly by mistake.

Everything you interact with in a day exists because of fossil fuels - from raw materials extraction to manufacturing and logistics.

This is especially true for the developing world using antiquated technologies.

Every aspect of the entire supply chain would need to be redesigned, even the most minor elements like logging and farming equipment and the demand of electric would overwhelm electric grids significantly, as many of these industrial countries already have blackouts regularly.

A good point, and may help in this case, but often when onboarding with a payment processor (especially at the 5-10m a month level of the OP) the majority of the time/complexity isn’t the technical integration.

The complexity is usually compliance (eg KYB, sanctions checks, AML) and while payment processors have done a lot to reduce the time and complexity it can still be a long and painful process.

In my experience (I’m CTO at a payment network) technical integration is <10% the time for a merchant doing this kind of volume moving processors.

Finally, what you described has happened. A lot of payment processors have been heavily influenced by Stripe’s DX and align relatively closely, or at least closely enough to make transition easier. The challenge is that few even medium sized merchants just use the core ‘move money’ APIs that are ‘easily’ replaceable, they use things like reporting/reconciliation, anti-fraud and a host of other products that make up an ‘ecosystem’ of products that in combination is very hard to replace quickly.
there is a bug in level 1, I lifted the sword but it still appeared on the ground.
Doubt it, because if you wanted to buy a $2 candy bar with Bitcoin in April, it would have cost you over $50 to do so. Stripe charges a rate of 2.9% + $0.30 by default. Everyone but money launderers would choose to use any other payment method than Bitcoin.
I think you are missing something, at least on the "ideological" aspect of things: it's part of the values/guarantees of Zig that all control flow is going to be explicit. On the landing page of Zig (https://ziglang.org/), "No hidden control flow." is the first bullet point. So "try" is the way they found to make control flow explicit, but also less painful that if (...) { return something; }. It's also a solution that's checked by the type system, exceptions usually aren't.

I don't know if it's the best solution, but I can understand where they come from.

This list is a great starting point. I have enough judgement to discern between books that are worth my time and books that aren't. Personally, I'm going to scan these titles and look up things that I don't recognize on Amazon and Wikipedia. At no point did I consider reading every book sequentially because of blind trust in a github list.

I take the same approach with any of the "Awesome" lists. They're meant to be used for overview and familiarization, not rote adoption.
