You have it backwards. Web3 is what Ethereum called it's client APIs since as far as I can remember.
Indie developers typically want to design, well, their own game. Their own vision, art, music, mechanics working in concert. I don't think anyone is dreaming of creating a showroom for a bunch of random other assets out there in the world. Asset-store flips are already considered jokes. Original, boutique art in an indie game will always win out and stand out.

They'd still need to do the work to implement every single item you are talking about. No indie would even want to do that. Nobody goes indie to work on compatibility drudge-work. Maybe if they are trying to jump on get-rich-quick financialization trend, but not if they want to actually work on their art.
A real Googler can perhaps comment better than I. But in my hazy recollection, there did seem to be a time, long before the Andy Rubin payout, when the "Don't be evil" slogan was not quite the perverse caricature that it has become today.

I'm very interested in how you've used recruiters to help source freelance work. The ones I've spoken to are either uninterested in doing it (90% or so?) or just have the same poorly run companies as your second client.
I think that the argument being made in the article is not that reckless driving and road rage didn't increase, but that these are "crimes of opportunity" and that the behaviors have always existed, but that traffic congestion suppressed their expression.

It's an interesting theory, and I believe that there is some truth to it. But I also believe that the events of 2020 did cause behavioral changes as well.

Contrary to the shoe-pounding HN rhetoric, there are good companies and bad companies.

Which one is often a function of the people running it at the highest levels. Very often companies are founded by good people with good intents, who end up leaving for one reason or another, and are taken over by people with a different set of values.

I don't know enough about the internal workings of Google to say that's the case here. But from what I've read on HN, it does appear that Google's morals changed dramatically when its founders lost control of and influence in the company.

> I still got rid of it because it was loud and power hungry.

Same! I loved my 48 core server, but there was actually a glitch in the Con Edison system where I ended up getting free power for two years [1], and once they fixed it and I got a power bill email for almost $900 while I was at work, I called my wife and said "UNPLUG THE SERVER NOW. RUN, DON'T WALK!"

[1] To be clear, I didn't know there was a glitch, I just thought power was cheaper in that apartment. I'm not greedy, I'm just dumb.

Where did you store the lathe at night? Where did you plug it in? And how did you get the electricity to that outlet, was there an account in your name with the power company as an 11 year old?
Not sure about this model. I write open source software because of the inherent human desire to create. Benefits from admiration I receive comes a distant second to the happiness of exploring a problem then crafting a nice solution, on my own time, in my own way. In a lot of ways, working without compensation then freely releasing the output is weirdly selfish. It is appealing because you are so free from the obligations to others brought by getting paid.

Users might invest time in using your software, and it is this time they feel robbed of when things go awry. I have been on both sides of this. I used to become very angry when something doesn't work right out of the box after quickly skimming a setup tutorial. At the time I was working for salary. Any free time I had was very valuable and couldn't be sucked up doing the same thing I do at work - debugging config issues, retrying with different options or environmental changes, etc. It was only after becoming a part time independent contractor that I developed the patience to really deal with open source software. To feel I had enough mental energy to really read the documentation or look inside the source code and debug what's going on - totally different from the customer service experience of dealing with proprietary software.

People become frustrated when the effort needed to understand or deal with something is beyond what they are willing to put in. I don't think open source can escape its problems until a substantial portion of users have the time and energy to really engage with it. We should be working far fewer hours than we actually do.
It's hard for me to feel sorry for people complaining about the government in California. They literally voted a massive tax machine into place that can't be undone and are surprised with [very predictable] results.
The solution is to have a unique ID for the parking area instead of a QR code, and you enter the ID into the official parking app for the city. There is no way to direct money to anything but city coffers with this approach. This is already what many municipalities do.

I don’t know why people are throwing their hands up at technology and using quarters when the apps are much more convenient (especially since you can remotely extend your parking time).

Right but it's not capitalism as such that does that. It's the regulatory, legal and political systems that do it. Those are what need to be reformed, not the basic freedoms of association and ownership that underly capitalism.

Look at China, Capitalism transformed that country. I know, my wife is Chinese and I first went there in 2001. It's raised hundreds of millions of people out of poverty after half a century of grinding poverty and starvation.

As for growing wealth inequality, that seems to be mainly a US phenomenon, the evidence for it having grown in Europe is pretty weak. I certainly don't see it as inevitable, it's an issue of direction and leadership.

The #xkcd386 is strong in this one, but I'll bite.

It's true that people use words to describe things, and generally the court will give effect to what you write as long as you have the right to do/request it. But given your writing style in this comment and others, I seriously doubt what you think you wrote is what a court would interpret it as.

There's a reason why people hire lawyers to write legal documents, and even so they sometimes screw up.

By the way, nobody needs to "enforce that MIT in court against your text". At best, people ignore your work because the license terms are unclear and their lawyers advise them not to touch it with a 10 foot pole. At worst, people "steal" your work, and YOU end up going to court to try to convince the judge that what you mean is what you wrote, even though the terms apparently contradict themselves. (because if you don't go to court to sue people violating your copyright, nothing happens unless you have a couple billion revenue in which case you can call up the FBI to help you.)

I'm not saying you can't get it right, but man your attitude is annoying.

In practice (more #xkcd386), for a simple license like MIT, getting the words "right" would basically involve rewriting the whole license. Consider this case - you license your software (let's call it FooBarApp) to a party (let's call them Alice), and Alice doesn't use it to make money whatsoever, which fits the "free" part of your conditions, which means they are eligible for the "MIT license" part. The MIT license allows all licensees to redistribute and sublicense FooBarApp. Alice puts FooBarApp on github with an MIT license. Bob, a commercial company with 100M revenue, downloads FooBarApp and incorporates it into their own commercial solutions offering. From Bob's perspective, all they know is that they obtained a valid MIT license from Alice, who does have the right to sublicense FooBarApp due to the MIT license from you.

To avoid this situation, you'd have to modify the "MIT license" wording and strike out "sublicense", and probably have to add another condition stipulating that the licensee must not use it to $DO_MONEY_THINGS. You can do it two ways -- one is to edit the text, the other is to wrap the standard MIT license with big lines of text saying "I KNOW I AM INCLUDING THE MIT LICENSE HERE BUT THIS IS NOT REALLY WHAT I MEAN".

At this stage my personal opinion is that you'd be better off writing a new license from scratch.

And no, I'm not a lawyer, otherwise I'd known better than to offer advice to random people online when I could charge them a couple grand.
Don't upgrade for Halo Infinite. That game also turned my otherwise fine machine into a potato. I've since fixed the issue by not playing halo and playing splitgate instead.
Yep. This is like writing an article about the increasing prevalence of gas generators and storage batteries, and saying that "electricity generation is turning into a consumer product". Really the centralized providers are failing with no hope in sight, so people are opting for distributed means to take care of their needs. If you tell someone they can pay a well-defined price for a device that might help them, or they can spend hours on the phone to make an appointment three months out that will result in indeterminate bills and likely further cycles through the bureaucracy, obviously they'll prefer the straightforward option!

You seriously think inexperienced cyclist should ride in bad weather?

If you have a city of Lance Armstrongs , sure everyone could bike commute. That's not practical though.

I'd argue for building more bike infrastructure just since cycling is fun. I'm planing on working remote forever anyway, so I think we'd agree on alot. But I recognize my privilege here, if you need to commute to an office biking won't work over a few miles.

The average American is commuting 16 miles each way. Can you realistically do this on a bike , I know I can't.

Why are you broke if there's an angel investor involved? Ask for more money or look for a different investor.

Or just stop working on this and start working on something that makes you actual money until these two are finally ready to make it a 3-person effort.
As I said, that's the absolute worst-case scenario.

I don't own one personally, but reviews have been overwhelmingly positive so presumably it does have something to offer beyond replaceability. (disclaimer: some people on HN seem to have had some driver issues on Linux on theirs)
This video summarizes the family relationships that these variables represent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCFRoILS1jY

People really do use these relation names instead of given name. Everyone in the family using different names, which is confusing to watch as an outsider as you can't learn their given names. It would be like watching everyone else in a family refer to a single person as "sister", "cousin", "niece", "aunt" etc. No-one uses their given name so you as an outsider aren't sure what to call them.
I think you are exactly right. It smells like a company that has grown beyond the startup stage but key processes, such as employee onboarding, are being led by people that are inexperienced with how to handle all aspects professionally at scale. I would expect some significant dysfunction across most functions and I would really have to believe in the company's mission, and/or have a nice chunk of equity, to push through and hope they successfully can grow to maturity.

We are piling on tech companies that purport to care about climate and diversity and other such things while locating their HQ in Silicon Valley, which is obviously not the optimal strategy if those are really priorities. I refer to the [once legal] housing deeds that literally excluded sales to Blacks, developers who did not sell to Blacks as a way of marketing to whites, extreme zoning designed to limit working class residents, allowed discrimination against Blacks at Stanford, overt racism against Blacks by noted founder of Silicon Valley, and so on.
The govt has rules for borrowing from the capital market, and that's (mostly?) for national infrastructure projects. It will never (hopefully) borrow from the capital markets to fund the NHS, and then continually pay it off.

That leaves tax or private money to fund the NHS, and we can't tax people much more. So in your comment "how is the money created?" Answer, tax, and there's a maximum limit to how much we can fund the NHS.
I am also currently using a ThinkPad from around 2015 running Fedora. Fedora and Linux support in general has increased so much in the past few years. Every function you would expect works out of the box, including Bluetooth, brightness, volume and all of the keys associated with that are functioning.
The interview process is onerous more than difficult: mostly leetcode style questions that need lots of practice for, plus a basic but time-consuming take-home task.

And for me the scheduling was super difficult: the whole process took weeks, with the only times available at odd hours West Coast US time, and my recruiter flaking and rescheduling once.

Beyond some basic level of coding, it's more a test of patience and time.
Congratulations on the accomplishment!

Turnkey systems are a special case, because they specifically hide the configuration knobs that otherwise might be twiddled by even ordinary users (and thus keep the landscape from being a monoculture).

This idea that you have to hide everything a user isn't expected to need to understand until they prove they already understand it, which seems to have originated with the Mac, is stupid & gets in the way of gradual & natural mastery. Systems that present configurability while having reasonable default behavior invite users to explore them at their own pace, and inevitably lead to ostensibly "non-technical" users gaining whatever specific technical knowledge and skill benefits them directly. Even if they end up making a misconfig, a million random misconfigs is very different (in vulnerability terms) from a single unfixable configuration hole deployed to a million black boxes.
Your boss sounds like a narcissist. Abusing your time before you even begin, saying he’ll “take care of you”, confident but uneducated. The comment about vacation is especially telling; by company standards it shouldn’t be a big deal to take a day (within reason) but in your boss’s world, vacation is a valuable commodity that he controls for his employees. If this is the case it will only get worse when you are in close contact. If he actually scoffed (an intentionally demeaning gesture) at your reasonable boundary (i.e. getting paid to work) imagine all the emotional crap he’ll pull once you’re actually in his domain of influence as an employee!

Also I don’t buy the “we just want your input” line. You’re a new employee, why would their decision on vendor tech rely on someone who hasn’t even started? Sounds fishy.

As a final thought, a boss (or company!) who creates feelings of “just wait, it will be better when ___” is probably abusive. If you feel that way before starting, tread very carefully and be very observant.

I was a freelance/contract developer for 2 years, went back to full time. And I had a golden ticket (a company had full time amount of work avail, I only did and billed for 20h/wk, paid every other week).

Now that almost all dev work is going to be remote friendly, The only advantage to freelancing that I can see is the flexibility to work less than 40 hour weeks, or take more time off than vacation time you're allotted.

That freedom is purchased with a lot of stress and uncertainty, and may not actually result in that much freedom if you're semi-actively always looking for leads.

Ultimately I found the type of work companies go to freelancers for is terribly uninteresting most of the time.
That was kinda my point. I can see why you’d do health like the US does, but I fail to understand why it doesn’t work in the US. In theory it could be much cheaper, but is the US seriously so corrupt that it underminds the free market that is values so highly.

Seriously, I don’t know.

Ewig is an interesting implementation using immutable data structures. https://github.com/arximboldi/ewig Very proof of concept, tries to be a little emacs like. Might be worth checking out.
This is an interesting idea, I need to think on it, so just a few thoughts:

* I could get behind this if the open license is something like MIT or Apache, ideally WTFPL or public domain even. I worry that AGPL would lead to corruption in ways that I don't see yet, probably through copyright and IP, so someone like the RIAA/MPAA would end up owning the collective somehow.

* Open source was/is compelling to me because I thought that freedom through free software could be a model for humanity. I'd prefer that society went toll-free, rather than adding a toll to free software. So stuff like UBI, expanding the commons by making internet free like public land, roads and bridges, etc etc etc. Coming at this from an abundance (rather than scarcity) mindset.

* Along those lines, I thought that maybe something like a lien could work (not sure if that's the right word). For example, say a company uses 100 pieces of open source software. That would show on an open source "ledger" as a debt of 100. If a developer wrote 1 of those, the company would have a "debt" to them of 1%. So if the company nets $1 million per year in profit, it's kind of like 1% of that is owed to the developer, or $10,000. Some companies owe billions of dollars in open source debt. Until they pay that, maybe there should be limits in how they can exercise their power. Perhaps they could be banned from lobbying the government, for example, or risk losing the use of any open source license for profit until they pay their debt. So I guess the real power of the Collective would be to blacklist companies that abuse their power.

For a while, people in the open source community kept bashing proprietary software in a way that for many devs, writing such software is/was considered unethical. Something unique to software development.

Yes, Linux won on the web and we're freer than if Microsoft had won, but the corporations learnt a way to keep using the open-source tag, and Android is a great example, while cornering our freedoms more and more.

Then, the true mantainer with the open-source spirit, has to live for scraps, while seeing everyone else making the big buck.

To me, the current situation is a consequence of the ethics of the early open-source community, that left the average small propietary software developer unable to make money, but of course, could do nothing against the megacorps. Did they really think they could win?
