I have no problems paying for good services. Is quiver still available and supported? When I checked the demo website a few weeks ago it seemed a bit abandoned. [0] We seem to be doing well enough by disabling middleware promise wrapping via middleware manager [1]. Our median graphQL API response times got 2x faster with that config change. However, IIRC we are still seeing around 150 promises in one GraphQL request when I'd like to see around 1. I am interested in quiver for that reason.

Anyway, the problem isn't about charging for your work. It's about having a track record of charging for closed source additions to your own open source software platform meanwhile saying wasmer and sibling projects will be free forever as if that's how it's always been with everything else.

Not the dunk you think it is for the billions of people who believe in a personal god and life everlasting.
Rosetta 2 doesn't support virtualization, so you are basically using software emulation of x86 on ARM.

TBH it's surprising that it's only 'quite a bit far behind'.

Compare Intel vs M1 Macs with x86 vs ARM containers, and you will be blown away with the performance increase.
Continuous integration also needs a server to run on. The point is, if you have a dev laptop running M1 ARM and a prod server running Intel x86, you need something in the middle to build/test on unless you want to cross-compile on your laptop and yeet it to production.

Simply the most lovely thing I have read all day. All week. Hell, maybe all year. Congratulations.
I'm currently testing an M1-based Air to see if I'd like to purchase something similar. I can confirm this for sure; the project files that made my current, not-even-old Windows laptop with similar stats choke are running like a dream even on this Air.

BTW, if you have a license for Live 11, version 11.1 forward has a Universal build, so it can run natively on M1 Macs rather than through Rosetta. [0]

I think a "hostile tone" is appropriate to muster in response to Nautil-dot-us, a science-y woo populist publication.

As far as the claims, humans keep redefining what "language" means to only include their own species. See also: intelligence. And "appearing only once" is similarly redefined as needed.

If they make their own tautologies because they're defining terms, they might be spinning beautiful poetry, but not meaningful truth.

I doubt the poetry, too, but that's a longer conversation.
I initially had a similar feeling, but upon further reflection, I changed my mind by considering a wider timescale.

In the long run, it's likely worse for society as a whole if people have social anxiety that could be treated. Left untreated, social anxiety can lead to antisocial behaviors and other psychological ailments (e.g. severe depression). If I can respond to a minor request that helps in some way to alleviate this, I don't mind. Part of the issue is related to the degree of the ask. I genuinely wouldn't mind someone asking me for directions, as it's a short-term commitment that is a quick ask (and if it would, I can just decline to help). If anything, most people would feel positively by being able to help another person in a minor way.

I wouldn't even frame it as selfish. Leaving anxiety untreated can cause behavior that can be seen as selfish down the road, while actively seeking to treat it via minor requests can help one be in a better position to help others down the road.
Single data point, but my grandfather was treated for a systemic infection at Sentara Norfolk General by Dr. Marik using his Vitamin C protocol and it brought him back from the brink of death when nothing else worked.

Is the study fraudulent? Could be, and his fight to use Ivermectin on Covid patients always struck me as quackery as well. That said, it seems to me that there is something about the Vitamin C protocol that should not be dismissed.
When that happens they die - does anyone care what IBM, GE, or Oracle do? All their customers are working to get off their platforms.

Why don’t you run ARM containers on M1?
There's definitely cases where water can be used to smother fire (think: plunging something burning into a large body of water). But if you're throwing water onto a fire..

Consider that in order to smother a fire - to form an actual barrier between fuel and oxygen - water would have to remain liquid, which it can only do if its temperature stays below 100°C.

For water to stay below 100°C, whatever the water is in contact with also needs to be below 100°C.

So you can't actually permanently smother something with liquid water without also cooling it down to below 100°C.

An experiment you could try would be to maybe take a matchstick and soak it in some water. Then dry off the outside of it, so you can tell there's definitely no water covering the fuel of the stick. Then try to set fire to it.
It's incredibly unlikely that the Marik Protocol is what made the difference. Following this fraudulent paper, the protocol was tested in 9 randomized controlled trials and they were all negative.

And as a statistician I can tell you with absolute certainty this paper is fraudulent.
This reminds me of conservatives saying government can't work and then turning it into self fulfilling prophecy.

I have the opposite experience with subscriptions. Have you ever tried to cancel a gym membership? Famously, companies make it easy to sign up online, but require a phone call (likely with a wait) to cancel. Many places have passed explicit laws [1].

I was a monthly donator to a public radio show. After few years I wanted to switch credit cards (with no intention of canceling or changing my donation amount). They had redesigned their website and there was no discernible way to cancel or contact them. I blindly emailed them, but never got a response. My only recourse was to cancel the credit card.

Since then I've greatly preferred a third-party to manage subscriptions. For awhile it was Paypal. In the past decade it's been Patreon and Apple.

> Kind of embarrassing that it's taking some devs so long.. Steve Duda managed to get Serum updated within a couple months of the original M1 release.

Is it? Steve Duda has no choice, his lunch is getten eaten by Matt Tytel and the folks at Native Instruments. If he wants to keep selling his $150+ plugin, he better stay on the cutting edge.

For everyone else though, I find it hard to blame them. Overnight you get a complete architecture change that you need to buy test hardware for, test-compile for ARM, find out what breaks, source new ARM-compatible libraries for what dod break, re-write some/all of your codebase to account for these changes, profile the performance difference, re-evaluate if the native version is worth it, then set up a testing and CI pipeline for a second architecture. Since most of these plugins are written with the notoriously fragile JUCE framework in C++, I can see why it's not just an overnight task to get it working on Apple Silicon unless you drop everything and make it your top priority.
You're not wrong, and I think the right way to think about it is in the context of a company that wants to go "multicloud" -- suddenly they need to abstract a suite of infra-as-code configuration components up out the individual services and APIs offered by various cloud/VPS providers and the reductio ad absurdum of this process is systems administration.

Essentially, a system that requires administration is the opposite (on the far end of spectrum) of vendor lock-in (whether that's AWS, or technologies like k8s, et cetera). Make of that what you will, in terms of the need for your ilk (and mine) in the tech world.
I don’t understand why everyone can’t draw a bicycle. I can draw you a near mechanical sketch from memory. We did this in college, CompSci, and most of the drawings didn’t even make sense. Do most people just not actually look at how the world around them works?

This strikes some kind of nerve with me every time it comes up.
It's also unfair to use MacOS instead of an operating system with proper container support, but sometimes "fairness" doesn't matter as much as "how the machine is going to be used"

Systemd is easy compared to init scripts. Maybe that’s the comparison point. I know that’s my comparison point, since I wrangled init scripts for a couple decades before systemd, and when systemd came out, suddenly it felt a million times easier to run services.

Vitamin C, I think studies finally proved about 10 years ago, puts the immune system into overdrive. So perhaps Vitamin C kicked up his immune system, and his own immune system is what beat the infection and put him on the mend.
Reinterpretable content is necessary for control, but it's not sufficient: the browser needs to provide users with levers by which to control their experience.

...says the organisation that is continuously removing functionality, especially whenever they feel like redesigning the UI. Mozilla has been saying stuff like this for a long time (and "puts users in control" was the Firefox slogan for a while, before they did s/users/individuals/), but what they've done to Firefox is clearly in a different direction. I still use Firefox because it's the "least bad" of all the alternatives, but that's a pretty low bar and their continuing hypocrisy is definitely irritating.

More importantly, everything is plugged into APC UPSes.

What? Microsoft uses UDP/TCP for teams, Signal uses the open-source Signal protocol, Whatsapp uses XMPP, Facetime uses many open standards, "file sharing" all uses https (centralized) or bittorrent (decentralized). I don't think you understand what you are really talking about. Almost every single company does not take the time to develop their own protocol just to be an asshole. They are built for maximizing profit at minimal cost, and not using open standards is unnecessary cost.

Calculator Hacked for Cheating Includes OLED Screen, WiFi, and Chat Function
I had a different impression about the magnitude of the requests from your comment than from the article. I pictured the "ice cream" request as asking a person with an ice cream code to let you have a taste, but there's a nuance: the article doesn't actually refer to ice cream, and it looks like it would involve asking a food sample from a store.

From the article: "Examples would be asking for their newspaper, or asking for a few dollars, or a phone number, or to try on their shoes. Or going into a store and asking for some free food. [...] I asked for a number of newspapers. I asked to take the plastic flowers from a storefront. I asked to borrow board games from the board game store. I asked to climb a ladder that a construction worker was setting up – and he let me!"

For what it's worth, the food sample and plastic flowers requests are made from businesses, were the requests aren't too unreasonable (samples are normal to ask where I live, and the flower request can be paid back with repeat business). However, I admit that the sunglasses request was strange (along with the suggestion to try someone's shoes).

I like the spirit behind asking if you can do others favors, but I predict it might weaken the exercise. The behavior is targeting a reluctance to ask for help and favors from others when it counts (it's important for long-term wellbeing to have a balance between taking and giving, versus just giving). It's easier to get rejected when asking to help another person, versus when facing rejection when doing something for yourself (e.g. applying to a job or opportunity).
K's coupling of data and user interface elements.

All data can have a gui widget type in its metadata.

The benefit was:
* If you changed the widget then the data changed.
* If you changed the data then the widget changed.

The layout of the data implied the layout of the widgets.

Using that version of k was the only time that I ever willingly did UI development.
Even when taxes aren't progressive the more you earn and spend the more you pay. You need to have an extremely equal society for people below the upper 40% to be net payers, I doubt that applies to any country in EU.

And even then, net tax payers can all be considered to have paid for their own education, you never see a situation where poor people fund the education of rich people. At worst you can say that median earners fund the education of median earners who failed to leverage their education to get a better job. But it is mostly a wealth transfer from rich tax payers to poor graduates who didn't get lucrative jobs.

Edit: Also at least in Sweden the worker movement lobbied hard to make education as cheap and available as possible. The cheaper and easier it is to get educated the less of a wage premium it becomes to be educated, making for a fairer society. It is a problem if poor students gets tempted to take a low wage job instead of studying just to make money sooner, it is much better for everyone if they don't have to think about that choice, which is why students gets paid to study in Sweden.
Separate clusters? That was not the issue here. It makes complete sense that a GitHub feature would have to interact with their core organization data/service. It’s crazy that you immediately assume that you’re smarter than the actual tech lead on the project.

> It's about having a track record of charging for closed source additions to your own open source software platform

This is completely false. In fact, it has been rather the opposite. Thanks to Quiver I did improved a lot of things on the open-source GraphQL-core that benefited the whole community.

Quiver was built as a completely new product, and to be crystal clear: it never took any open-source bits out of Graphene or GraphQL-core. Basically, anything that was open-source did continue being open-source. That's as true for Graphene as it is for Wasmer.

I'm genuinely curious. On which ground you based your allegations?
I truly do miss Picasa so much, and I'm still mad at google about its loss. It was used extensively in family history research centers, and did a great job of automatically picking out pictures of your ancestors in old photos. I wish google had open-sourced it. Losing Picasa seriously made me distrustful of putting my personal data (in this case all of the annotations) into a proprietary app. I prefer open source, but if I can't get that then the real line for me is open data format.
It wasn't going to be rejected. It was rejected for solid reasons and they decided not to waste time appealing.

Just checked wise to transfer from USD to ARS and the exchange rate is the official mandated by central bank which isn't the real market exchange rate, it's roughly the half.

Since you can't receive USD here (well you can, but the government wants them more than you), you either send ARS from abroad or you receive USD and they get converted at the official rate which means you lose half your money.

Wife and I had an unlikely pregnancy ourselves. We tried for possibly 8 years with no luck, finally we gave in and started the process to do in vitro with entailed lots of tests and everything. Then, the day before we were scheduled to start the process (during xmas no less) and lay down a lot of $$$ for the procedure, wife takes a pregnancy test and shockingly, it indicates positive. Kid was born healthy and happy. I hesitate to call him some kind of xmas miracle kid, but I mean.. the context and everything really drove the point home. :)

I realize it's not ideal, but whether inappropriate behavior took place or not is irrelevant to Wasmer's relationship to the Alliance. For all we know, it could be a misunderstanding due to different cultures (which is what the founder claimed).

What is relevant, though, is that a member of the Alliance made public claims of inappropriate behavior by Wasmer's founder and, nearly a year later, boosted them to justify why they weren't personally collaborating. I'm not going to link this for the benefit of the victim, but in fairness they did publish this online, and you can still find it if you're really interested.

And once you take this background into context, some of the issues Wasmer faces just seem to click. Consider the late-cofounder post-mortem you linked in a different thread:

> Another point: Syrus Akbary also has made many public errors that have created hostility against the company.

Could it be about different issues? Well, certainly, but that one issue was steaming for a year within the Alliance, so...
The parent commenter's problem sounds like it's third-party plugins rather than Live itself.

FL Studio also has a build for ARM, but it runs each non-ARM plugin in a wrapper which somehow uses an entire CPU core. After loading more than a couple of plugins I see something that is otherwise unheard of on my M1 Macbook - 1000% CPU usage and fans at full speed.

So I stick to running the app via Rosetta - higher-than-average CPU usage in general, but it means my plugins behave.
