I'm familiar with this clip and listened to it several times. He doesn't like the GPLv3 for the reasons you give, and from what I understand, what he finds sneaky is not the GPLv3 itself (he recognizes that the GPLv3 can suit some people and is fine with this), but the fact that the GPLv3 has been written as a revision of the GPLv2 while it should have been an entirely new license (that would not interact with the "or later" mechanism and impact existing software with this or later clause). He says this in the sentence just before your citation.

From what I understand, he would have been fine with a revision to the GPLv2 that fixes some issues but does not change its spirit.

Now, that the GPLv3 is not in the same spirit than the GPLv2 is an opinion, and he does a good job of arguing his opinion on the matter.

> This is the same kind of v3 nonsense as TFA, is it not?

No, I don't think so.

edit: oh, ok, I understand what you mean. The nonsense you are speaking about is the FSF people telling Linus Torvalds that he can use GPLv3 without the tivoisation clause and still be compatible with the GPLv3, which indeed seems non nonsensical. The GPLv3 itself is not sneaky though, it's how it was sold to Linus IIUC.
Okay, when do we actually get this test in the real world? How many years?
this has something to do with living in a suburb surrounded by highways. The only way to go anywhere and do anything is via a car, which kid can't drive.
I love a new editor.

But I long ago realized that a text editor was a massive long-term investment and after two editor companies abandoned me, I switched (back) to Vim and doubled down. Had I stuck with Vim in 1992, I could have saved a lot of time.

That said, today it’s Neovim, with IntelliJ kept around for its power and the fact that I often have to open client projects. And VSC for specific plugins that save time (e.g. inspecting SSL cert details b instantly.
Or from the article:

“The landmark find shows a warrior battling against two adversaries, killing one enemy, the other already dead at his feet.”
I also know a couple of game console vendors with their own proprietary APIs.

If networking protocols were managed the same way as ARB and then Khronos do their work, we would only have the RFC for the IP layer, and then lots of extensions to choose from for the upper layers and traffic monitoring from each networking card vendor.
Oh, I didn't realize that. When I move it to my own server that shouldn't be an issue. The peprojects.dev domain is for student work. Thanks for the tip!
This is probably an API gateway fronting Spark NLP and a mini GPT. They have 25 engineers, what do they all do?
This looks amazing. I'm definitely the target market for this - I shelled out for Nova, and I'm always on the lookout for fast and well made macOS editors. The Rust/Go-only thing is an unfortunate dealbreaker, as much as I like Rust, I don't use it enough to justify paying a separate fee for it. But if this got more languages I'm all up.
Switch to WebStorm / IntelliJ and enjoy the endless bliss of the local history and many other advanced life saving features!
Community Enablement Platform
Hi All,

I am the founder of Patches- The only full stack platform for Community-Led organizations and Community teams. We help startups with software to services(Virtual part time community manager), resources to recruiting, essentially everything they need to build and grow a thriving community. We are also making community building scientific and thus, help startups map its impact to overall business goals.

We help in:

- Building community end to end till the startups are ready to take it over (We know the best practices of community building and have access to 30+ experts)

- Capturing and quantifying the value of your community on different platforms (Don’t have to spend more hours trying to explain its value to others, let the numbers speak)

- Establishing an incentivization and ambassador program (tokens, swag, etc.) for their advocates (We also take care of the logistics associated with it)

I would love to get some feedback on the idea and the concept of community led growth in general.
Thank you!

With all due respect fellow HN reader, I never said his idea was great or revolutionary.

When I posted my comment, most comments I read then haven't tried to discuss any specific points nor his ideas, and my comment was for those. Most were discrediting the guy just based on his personality.

No matter how big this man's ego are, and I also think it is, he has proven himself a creator so far and to be passionate on those topics. For me, that's enough to not dismiss him as crazy or charlatan, especially so early.

My main point here is not aimed to defend or "fluff" Wolfram – I don't care about him personally. It is only about how our society does not have a healthy culture on receiving new ideas.

Let him and his team pursue his research – if this turns up to be something remarkable, time will show us – and humanity will benefit from it.

I posted "Law of Jante" as I see this happening over and over again. Different contexts, same "boohoo, this person think they're better than us".

>Complicated is not a virtue.
That is not correct.

Complicated just means a complex 'something'. If the complexity of 'something' is accidental or not, that is another topic and is not even subject to moral judgment IMO.

Now, to develop complex software in a complex domain over several years, this is something hard and only someone sane can do that. So I'm just optimistic and open to see what his team will output from all this.

Have a great weekend!

I've been enjoying watching (and supporting on Patreon) this American expat on YouTube [1] who is trying to solve this problem (both getting better garbage management in, and stopping rubbish getting washed into the ocean) where he lives on an island in the Philippines. The booms he's designed out of tires and bottles to put across the canals and block bottles and other plastic being washed out to sea seem to work very well - similar to what The Ocean Cleanup are doing with their 'Interceptors' but cleaned out by paying some locals with baskets and nets instead of a very expensive looking machine.

what does this have anything to do with the topic?
Finding a freelancer is always a tedious and hard task. It would be good and easy if the recruiters know where to actually look for a freelance designer or developer. While planning to hire a developer or designer, it is very important that the recruiters must register in the right websites to get suitable candidates. Here comes the advantage of registering in the best freelance website like Ellow, Fiverr etc. These kind of websites actually have freelancers who are looking for freelance jobs. These freelance websites recruit the candidates through their pre-vetting process and top candidates are referred to various companies. So that the candidates get suitable jobs of their choice and the company too will get a desired candidate. By this, way it is easy for both hirers and job seekers will yield the desired output.

I sometimes, by accident, launched LibreOffice Calc. It launched faster than the calculator app :). I believe they changed that. The calculator app isn't shipped in a snap package anymore.
I heartily agree with your general sentiment, but think you're not mentioning a very important function of a test suite which is:

c) explicitly and accurately document expected behavior including in a variety of edge cases

...this is sort of implicit in your first 2 but I think worth breaking out.

Going for high test coverage (in places where I've done TDD-style dev) has really forced me to think through those edge cases and what I want my code to do in all of them.

I think negative-value testing comes from the mindset of "how do I write a test which exercises this branch?" but a positive version of that is "I put this branch to handle the case where foo is getting close to the boundary. Let's put in test cases with foo at and close to the boundary and make sure it does what it is supposed to." If the test focuses on behavior then you find the bugs and enable refactoring and you get high coverage because if you can't exercise all the paths probably some of them are dead and can just get deleted.
They mentioned elsewhere it started off as a fork of the Xi editor which is written in Rust. Xi separates the text-editor idea into backend and frontend, and Xi itself is primarily the Rust-based backend which concerns itself with making editing operations very fast, and then you can write a front-end client for whatever language/platform you want.

In this case, they can use a fast Rust backend for multiple platforms (or just one) and then use Swift to make a nice, native front-end for MacOS and other native UI languages for other platforms if they wish.

If you have a small team, and well hired, then the stack rank grim reaper kills off 20-30% of your labor each year.

For your huge hires, 1/3 of the people were hired to be fired in the stack ranking, which of course is a huge morale hit.

The ones that aren't setup to fail lose 20-50% of productivity doing machiavellian backstabbing, defensively or offensively, for promotions other culturally ingrained/highly encouraged organizational sociopathy.

With 50% turnover per year (IT stats, not warehouse worker stats), it'll be hard to sustain development as well.

So it makes sense that Amazon would overhire.

Regarding the fine detail, firstly I think people generally had better eyesight back then.

Secondly, jellyfish. One type, always washed up on my local beach, is a 3pi/2 arc - about the size and shape of a 3/4 donut. And perfectly transparent. Its optical qualities are something any curious human will investigate. It's a small step to use it to see and work on fine detail. And much smaller steps to experiment with which curvature gives the best magnification. Could also be used as a telescope. Jellypunk.
I remember a colleague had every document and a lot of stuff she was working on littered on her desktop. Nearly every little bit of desktop real estate was occupied.

Once, when again she left for lunch without locking her computer, a colleague of ours got up, made a Screenshot of her desktop, put everything on her desktop into the download folder and replaced the background with the screenshot. When she returned from lunch she was very quickly irritated that her computer had stopped working, as she could no longer click any of her files and programs.

It was a blast. And she never let her computer unlocked again.

Which is crazy, because you would think that Australia was mostly Flatland! It's the size of the continental US, with a population lower than Texas.

Everyone here lives in the capital cities, and last I looked there were almost no tech jobs at all further up the coast between Sydney and Brisbane.

I wonder if pandemic working from home is going to change this, some of our devs have already moved up the coast...
Hehe, I once logged into someone else’s pi by accident because I was not on the WiFi network I expect. The person had his Google credentials in a script in his home folder.

Still, it’s nice that you can get it online so wails but it was obviously not a good idea. Some software they sets WiFi and user info while flashing would be nice.

The way I see the FSF is that they try to create a system where everyone's freedom to change and share between other people is maximized.

To be able to meet this goal we need some rules, like not being able to change software and share as closed source.

We don't want near absolute freedom like the MIT license. For the same reason we don't want to live in a country without any rules.

So this clause aligns perfectly with how I view GPL, maximizing people's freedom to modify and share the software.
fashion word or not, it's meaning is clear
"Have any metro areas built entirely new subways where there were none before in recent times?" China is the easiest one to study. The number of kilometers of heavy rail metro lines built since the year 2000 is simply mindboggling. (Specifically, I am not talking about high-speed train lines.) In the same two decade time range, look at Korea, Taiwan, Hongkong, and Singapore. I guess multiple systems have doubled or tripled in size (length or stations). Remember that Korea has two major systems: Seoul and Busan; and Taiwan has Taipei and Kaosiung.

I am not an urban planner but the north-south & east-west initial two-line style seems very popular. In my experience, the trick to quickly increasing ridership on new lines is closely coordinate with private developers. Be transparent about line planning, then team-up with private developers who can build (large) residential or office buildings with subway entrances in their basement. I've never seen a city do it better than Tokyo. My assumption is that the Elizabeth Line in London will spur similarly spectacular levels of redevelopment.

Light rail: Silicon Valley opened their system in Dec 1987.

About "unlocking value": Two massive upgrades come to mind. East Side Access in Manhattan will allow LIRR trains to enter Grand Central Station. The construction photos online are like something from science fiction. And look at last 30 years of Tokyo metro tightly integrating with private suburban rail lines where trains enter same station, but opposite sides of same platform. Everything is timed to the minute, so transfers are seamless.
You're looking at the wrong level of the problem. Engineers in Big Tech can make $250k because they're making even more money than that for their bosses - if they were paid less, it would just mean that the bosses and stockholders got paid more.

Same for startups, except there it's a VC betting that he'll make $50M if he gives 10 companies $2.5M so that they can each pay 10 engineers $250k.

We don't live in a system where what you "deserve" has anything to do with what you get; the factors are how much cash you're expected to bring in and how much leverage you have when splitting up that cash between you and the company.
Here's a slightly longer article from TASS, Russia's state news agency: https://tass.com/world/1434463

They do claim the plane was in Russian airspace. This comes within a day after Serbia voted against Russia in the UN.

This being an attempt to further turmoil within Serbia about their position regarding Russia seems more likely to me than a NATO jet violating Russian airspace. But what do I know.

Or you can spend a few minutes configuring things locally to bypass a middle man, an additional HTTP redirect, and save a keystroke (!) or more since you can define your own shorter shortcuts. Privacy, performance, and convenience improved at the same time.
>That KDE Plasma 5 is finally usable and stable, after having decided to stop pushing the ridiculous plasmoids on the user (were they liking the Windows Desktop Gadgets, or they were simply idiots?), is like having an old whore finally becoming a respectable woman. It’s hard to forget the developers’ idiotic decisions, though. I don’t like to be Microsoft’s guinea pig, why should I be KDE’s?

To a visiting alien, libertarian associated beliefs would look positively sane compared to numerous mainstream practices, like daily consumption of highly processed foods coupled with little physical activity, factory farming of meat, mono-crop agriculture, and the rituals of social sensitivity signalling that change by the year, ranging from personalized gender pronouns to micro-aggression avoidance.

It's important to note that the aforementioned are all extremely mainstream, with leading academic and corporate institutions adopting and promoting them.

> The whole ‘fair share’ of taxes argument presumes that the aggrieved group would pay less if others paid more.

I don't think it does presume that. I can want another group to pay their fair share of taxes without necessarily wanting my own taxes lowered.
Wasn’t it for editing texts?
I might be misremembering things, but I think digital "box sets" came/come with something like the album and album art all set to the box set instead of the individual albums.

So it's cheaper than buying the albums individually, but then you have to spend some time unpicking them again and restoring the original albums. At least the track/disc numbering is still correct, so that helps a little.

Judging from some reviews left on some box sets, this wasn't always the case, i.e originally even box sets had the proper album tagging…
Abstracting away the graphics API and using the one native to each platform is using it directly.

You forgot the Playstation (LibGNM/LibGNMX) and Nintendo ones (depending on the generation, microcoded GPU, GX (Wii), GX2 (WiiU), NVN (the main one on the Switch), Vulkan and GL 4.6).
> a system that tells you whether you get to work or not. This is completely independent of your ability to work or gain skills.

can you give an example of this? I don't believe the current system prevents anyone from working if they have the skill. The closest policy to what you described is segregation and racism, but i don't think that is what you're referring to.

> A lot of laws that set a minimum living standard

there's no such law. There's minimum wage law, which might cause unintended consequences, if the minimum is inappropriate. But so far, the current minimums don't seem that inappropriate.

> Either we limit Canada's crazy-high immigration rate (1% of population every year)

You could just stop there, it’s clear where your priorities lie. I’m not Canadian (and don’t worry I’m not emigrating), but I welcome a “crazy high” 1% population immigration rate and I don’t see a conflict with that and reasonable housing policy. Many major cities already see this kind of growth regardless of where people are moving from. We should be able to house and sustain that growth.

Limits on immigration don’t slow the growth, they just satisfy anti immigration attitudes for a while.

Unlike the rhetoric of "Just Say No", this is what black markets are. They are not run by idiots, but generally desperate people with no other means. Once you are over the line in that world, the good doesnt matter. You are working underground, anything goes. Desperate people get taken advantage of, but the yakuza are just one link. This route is usually controlled by the triads, they have been arming conflict in the golden triangle for years. Like any other capitalists, blackmarket syndicates expand and fight for terroritory.

Something funny about bubbles. I’ve heard it said that housing prices in 2005 were outrageous, so much that they could only possibly be justified if the population somehow banded together to stop most new housing from being built. Likewise I’ve also heard something about the dotcom bubble- that the valuations of tech firms in 2001 were outrageous. That the multiples given could only ever be sustained if American consumer tech came to dominate the world…

Sure. I’m just expressing discomfort at how it became just “meh, it’s how it is”.

My issue is I just don’t see the world in this money focused way. From out here, in the land where it’s sort of average to earn maybe $50k and feel pretty good about that, it looks pretty sick. I don’t get it, I don’t like it, it feels disingenuous to support it with what seems to be an endless “it’s ok, everyone does it” or “that’s just how the system is” argument.

Maybe if those guys gave away 50% of their salaries to support good causes, I’d feel better about it. But I’m betting my ass they don’t.

I've tried Helix few days ago and was more than impressed – almost everything you want from code editor is there out of the box, and transition from neovim was super fast. The only thing the holds me from switching completely is lack of Copilot.

But yes, there seem to be a momentum of rethinking editors and frustration with popularity of a slow and heavy editors.
