> In the case of Norway, the only legal party in the country was the Nazi Party from 1942-1945

Norway was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1940 to 1945 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_occupation_of_Norway), so I don’t see how that could be an argument supporting your claim that “they assisted and gave in to the Nazi regime during WWII”
I posted it with the original title from Sifted after reading "“Our application format will be familiar, similar to that of Y Combinator’s — simplicity will be key for deploying capital fast,” says Piacentini."
OT for this particular release, but I'd like to point out that one of the best features of emacs and its ecosystem is that plugins, libraries and software are almost always self-documenting.

You want to read the documentation or delve into the implementation of a feature of your programs it is literally right there in your editor instead of having to jump to some, potentially outdated, website documentation or having to figure out where to look at things from a sterile github page.

I wish that the idea of self documenation was more widespread in other ecosystems.

E.g. the ecosystem I know most, JavaScript, would have this potential, but very often dependencies are compiled and there is no such self-documenting culture so best case scenario you get types you can _almost_ trust and some jsdoc that you can _almost_ trust.

I guess the fact that the lisp and elisp community in particular has always cultivated this practice is the deciding factor rather than the languages itself.
I have't read of Putin's close allies suffering through the same issues.

I think it's a lot easier to build "competence" than people usually think.

Think back to college, to your friends who actually got degrees in various specialties. How many of them actually closely read even five of the books in the curriculum, took detailed notes, and thoroughly understood the material?

A motivated autodidact can do that in a couple months (about how long I manage to stay interested in any one topic). Understanding that 20% of the knowledge in the field really does tend to make you 80% "competent." I find that I can have "competent amateur"-level conversations with specialists in a subject after just that much effort.

From there, it's all a question of whether you want to move toward expertise. Becoming an expert takes MUCH more time, energy, and effort.

What normally happens for me is that, after reaching the level of competence on a broad subject, I may come across a subspecialty or two that inspire me to reach competence on them. That's the layer deeper.

That doesn't usually happen right after the broad review. It usually happens a few cycles later, but because I engaged the material and made notes on it, I can refresh what I knew from my overview and be prepared to dive deeper.

It opens up interesting conversations (I know something about an incredible variety of things, so can usually engage someone in a conversation about something that matters to them). It allows me to connect ideas that make me seem "creative" in any one particular field.

In other words it's a very engaging, fun way to live! And not nearly as daunting a thing as it seems if you mistake building expertise with building competence.

Being a polymath is just really good fun if you let it be!
Steam wouldn't have happened if Windows had a proper package manager (and if Valve hadn't been screwed over by Sierra).

I'm wondering about what cleanliness you are talking about, after all Steam (thankfully) never got a 100% market share (Games For Windows Live, Stardock's Impulse, GamersGate, Matrix/Slitherine, Blizzard games, Good Old Games, Ubisoft's horrible launchers, various boxes-only games, indies...) - if anything it has killed indie gaming that was briefly freed from having to have a full blown publisher and physical distributor - these days smaller developers have a hard time to sell from their own website and sometimes even to just forego from using Steamworks-only services (which make non-Steam versions second class citizens) like multiplayer matchmaking and mod Workshop.

(And some other programs like Xfire have tried to centralize game libraries too, also offering other services like chat, matchmaking, game hour counts, video recording and upload...)

> I lost my creativity and the sense of wonder I used to have in childhood. I am no longer curious because I am settled for the world as it is. I accept things the way they are instead of imagining how they could be.

The best way to expand your perspective of the world is move to a new country with a different culture, learn a new language, and make local friends.

I recently moved to Brasil and am learning Portuguese. The language barrier is difficult. Learning how to communicate indirectly is hard. Understanding the different social norms requires you to question some of your core beliefs. I don't think you can learn any of the core lessons without learning the language.

Travel will put you out of your comfort zone, but you should also start having a lot of fun... the type of fun you used to have with friends when you were younger. Not the buttoned up type of fun you have at a dinner party with acquaintances.
I would suggest doing what Wikipedia does: print the name of the language, in the language. So Deutsch for German, 日本語 for Japanese, and so on.

If you need a corresponding URI fragment, the ISO language codes exist for that reason.
There are various "World Views". Amongst these, i have found the models in "Hinduism" more self-contained and all-encompassing than others. Specifically i choose to subscribe to the "Model" given by Samkhya Philosophy (no God required).

afaik Jellyfin is a fork of Emby once the Emby Team decided to close source the project, which was very unfortunate for me to hear back then as a Emby user.
However, I've tried Jellyfin two times since then and found it (also) to be the inferior product. This might have changed since my last adventure, so might give it another shot.
Because I'm talking about founders and how much control they have over the tools they bring into being.

Acts of God are a better model for that than business decisions.

Some users will abuse the snot out of it, and a small start up may not even realize that's happening for months.

The founder may not retain the authority to control decisions about what changes to make to the tools or how to monetize them.

Hackers may break into the servers and use the tool for their own ends.

And, yes, often enough the founder themselves will throw the users under the bus when push comes to shove.
Same, I actually tried reading Snow Crash on my kindle a month ago. I've read pretty much all of Gibson and found Snow Crash too... corny? I gave up at about the point where some autonomous dog thing died. Sci-fi is like vi / emacs preferences I guess.

It highly depends on what is _in_ the book, and how it is laid out.

Suggesting from the get-go to someone in some disarray, that reading an obscure, long book is a path to improvement, this is a bit... making the burden even heavier?
> If you have the infrastructure to manage multiple versions and collect and analyse related information, adding/removing a blinking cursor or any other UI change and analysing the results should be trivial (...)

What leads you to believe in that? I mean, you have zero insight or understanding how things work or were designed. You have zero idea of where that blinking cursor comes from, let alone who owns that particular bit of code.

Let's think things through for a moment. Let's imagine you're talking about a blinking cursor in a random page from Google or Amazon. These are organizations where you have teams owning small widgets that show off only in specific pages, and that the page that you see in your browser come from a lengthy page engine pipeline that has all sorts of tests and failsafes, not to mention regional and localized deployments managed by whatever deployment policy.

This doesn't even take into account the whole workflow from product managers, who often demand data on the impact of touching a button.

> I lost my creativity and the sense of wonder I used to have in childhood. I am no longer curious because I am settled for the world as it is. I accept things the way they are instead of imagining how they could be.

I was starting to feel this way before I had kids, but having kids completely changed everything for the more interesting.

It’s funny because it’s the exact opposite of what I was told would happen: The story goes that you have kids, lose yourself, and become a boring old parent. Instead, I’m never lacking for fun or creative ideas because I can pick up a creative and hilarious child and go do literally anything together and we’ll have a good time. I’m meeting more new and interesting people than I have at any point since college simply by doing parent things and meeting other parents. I still have time to work on one specific side project, but I’ve learned to stop grinding through the side projects that I didn’t really enjoy anyway. Becoming a parent is a great forcing function to get out and shake up your priorities.

Obviously I’m not recommending becoming a parent as a solution to this problem. However, I wanted to note that the realities of becoming a parent are literally the opposite of what I was led to believe by peers and social media while growing up. Contrary to everything I was told, it’s actually the childless people and couples I know who are entering these periods of “boring” where they struggle for interest or motivation or meaning, while us parents are off having an extremely non-boring and fun time with this new chapter.

Yeah, that's a statement I find it hard to agree with. We have 10k customers, our application is really data heavy – our postgres db is a few TB in size – yet we never hit any scaling problems. Maybe the key was to use managed cloud SQL, but you should do that anyway as an early stage startup, because it's not part of your business to run databases.

You're probably just tired. You can pick up a new hobby, but that won't make you interested in code again (possibly the opposite). Just take a break and come back to code when you're inspired to do something with it.
But Windows Terminal is open-source and probably someday community will fork it to remove telemetry the way they did with VSCode.

This is a great reminder, because there are LOTS of people doing this successfully, and in all likelihood, nothing separates them from you except that they've started and you haven't.

Is it possible they're more capable/interesting/competent than you are? Sure, but in all likelihood, it's actually just the discipline to keep doing it and iterating to make it better that separates you.
DIY TPM Module
Do you remember a long, long time ago seeing something gorgeous, like a colorful mineral gem, or the early morning sun on a verdant canopy, and something deep inside of you wanted to consume it? Perhaps you registered that it was not a source of sustenance for your body and still this strange notion persisted?

This is an important faculty for your happiness and creativity. It does not care at all for your logic and reasoning, and thankfully so because our minds would otherwise quickly dispose of it as error and synesthesia.

Now that you know that the sanity brought by your enormous intellectual achievements don't bring you happiness, perhaps it is time to explore this insanity that has patiently waited for your attention.

You, and many in these comments, seem to be conflating twitter’s legal rights with their informal social obligations. No one is saying this is illegal behavior by Twitter. Some are saying it’s very annoying of them to go back on their established policies and break thousands of websites.
So today you would do it all in a programmable shader pipeline, create and update vertices according to some displacement from a 2d water simulation or just noise, and color the appropriately in another pass with the correct texture etc. As far as I know with my limited understanding from writing a few shaders.

But what did you do back then? I was pretty young, but I'm not even sure you had such a clean programmable separation in the render pipeline? :-)

That’s less than 1/4 of the stolen funds. Is everyone getting a 1/4 haircut on their money? Or are they going to try to continue operating as if nothing has happened and hope that no more than 1/4 of users withdraw their money?

I wonder how much they had to give up to take that much investment money that wouldn’t even get them back to being whole.
As above, I think a screen cover with hinges, so it can lock open like a laptop, and perhaps magnets or velcro to stop your keyboard sliding around on the 'cover' part, would solve all of this. For quick todos or notes, the on-screen keyboard.
You kind of missed some of my crucial points: starting a business on low budget in Italy is possible. People with the right ideas and knowledge can start ventures easier than they would elsewhere in the world, especially silicon valley where you're much more dependent on (important) private capital.

In Italy, that's not really the case, between lower salaries, no interest loans and government funding we have had many great businesses growing out of people that would've had no chance of convincing venture capitalists.

And as I said, yes, it's true, Italy is not the best place to start a business, and yes, it's true that there are places where you can find some if not more of the same benefits with less of the drawbacks, but still you're severely underestimating the many benefits and convenience you can get in Italy where you can start businesses you would've never had the chance too in places where there is no public funding and help for aspiring entrepeneurs.
> They could stop encouraging SEO.

Have you read any of Google's advice to site owners? It amounts to "provide your users with what they're looking for, and do it with a fast and easy to use site". If you think SEO is an easy hack to get any site to the position 1 for any search, you're just ignorant of the landscape. All the "SEO" crap you see about keyword density or whatever, is just an industry trying to sound different and like they've got the key to position 1.

> They could start penalizing sites that show different things to googlebot and a real browser again.

Google is ridiculously good at this. Would be keen to see examples of a site that does this in a meaningfully negative way that ranks well for searches that matter.

I don't fully agree with all of your other points but I can see why you'd mention them.
to be honest, bored people are usually boring.
AxRuntime (AxRT): Create Applications Using Amiga APIs
It amazes me that developers pick closed source Jetbrains and Microsoft spyware for the program they rely on to make a living when Emacs and Vim/Neovim get better by leaps and bounds every year. Emacs has packages that VSCode can only dream of having and with Emacs distributions or really just lsp-mode you can have a full fledged IDE with 0 fiddling. I recently did some digging into the editor usage of noteworthy programmers by going through interviews (usesthis.com was a great resource) and found that 99% of programmers whose names are recognizable are still using Vim/Emacs. Clearly these tools are not holding anyone back from doing great things.

Edit:
Just yesterday HN was overtly critical of Warp for being a proprietary, closed source, telemetry laden terminal, but they’ll suddenly lose their morals when it comes to text editing over perceived conveniences of an IDE vs. a “text editor” with LSP.

The point of Vim/Emacs isn’t just that they are good editors. It is also you voting with your installs and money for free and open source tools. You already reap the benefits of the Linux ecosystem, the least you can do is help out by picking a FOSS editor.

What is the meaning of life? Well unfortunately this one has to be tremendously mundane. Single Cell life still have a meaning. The meaning of life has to be very simple.

Is there a heaven? This is pretty exciting.

I am sure you have seen the carl sagan's probabilities of alien life. If it the chance of another alien is 1 in a trillion. There's a trillion trillion trillion stars. So there's trillions of different aliens all over the universe.

Now of those trillions of trillions of aliens. What's the probability 1 of them has been around for billions of years. They are tremendously advanced in technology and invented a universe scale machine to create a heaven for everyone?

The rules would have to be pretty simple and universal.

The Golden Rule: Treat Others the Way You Want to Be Treated

There would also be a mechanism to inform other aliens such a system exists. Meditation/Jahnas, near-death experiences, etc.

The buddha enlightened, Jesus as well, amongst others. Imagine what you discover there's aliens(angels) running a heaven. Then you're back on Earth. How do you explain it? Scifi wont be a thing for millennia. You rationalize it to explain to others the best you can. Thus religion is created.

whatever they choose, it should be reasonable to implement for a small team of average devs (even individuals) and should interoperate with small pieces of software and not being forced to use big tech OSes or browsers (using complexity lock-in, open source is not enough anymore).
specs/reference software should be small, lean and open source.
Flags for currency mostly work because nations choose their flag and choose their currency. Flags for languages doesn't work because it's common for the same language to be popular in different countries and for multiple languages to be popular within a single country.

ISO language abbreviations would be a better alternative than the flags but I don't think anything is needed at all; anyone who knows German will recognize the post titles written in German and anyone who doesn't know it will still recognize that they're not in English.

The links do have `hreflang="de"` which in theory can programmatically indicate the language used at the destination, I'm not sure there's any technology that takes advantage of that. They could use a ::before pseudo-element with content: attributes(hreflang) to display the ISO code instead of the flag images. I would like to see `lang="de"` attributes on the German headings and paragraphs on the home page, they would tell screen readers to switch to a voice appropriate for the language when read aloud.
DoD Cloud Exchange: Army’s Paul Puckett on Agility Gains of Cloud
Honestly, I think part of this perception is the fact that things developed in Rust are more likely to advertise themselves as such. For example, I know that micro text editor is developed in Go only because I checked. I have no need to know this as an end-user, but many Rust-based projects seem quite eager to highlight that.

The Nix package manager on macOS isn't as smooth as Homebrew. Still, Nix is better in many ways.

More broadly, even if it isn't as popular, Nix is a viable tool and also encourages us (developers) to seek out repeatability in our dependencies.
Forced updates did happen (only way to play the game if Steam was aware there was one available - and God forbid you had a slow/flaky connection - no gaming for you today, not even through Offline Mode !).

Combined in at least one instance with the new version not being able to load the old multi-hours save, and no rollbacks, so hopefully you manually backed up the whole game !
(At least the devs fixed it in a patch after some days...)
