I'm just curious here. If I as a developer want to license my code a certain way (and enforce that license in a certain way) what authority do these lawyers have to tell me I'm "stupid".

Especially if my approach has single handedly created the largest body of copyleft / collaborative / open source software out there with massive amounts of actual collaboration.

The irony is so strong here. Basically jerks, who can't get along with others (including each other, witness the battles between SFC and SFLC etc etc) with little value creation themselves want to force their view on others, even though folks have already voted with their feet.

By all means create the Affero GPLv3. Try to get folks to write software for it. That's fine.

But don't pretend to be on some moral high ground speaking for developers / creators who wrote the code. Let them speak for themselves. And don't go back and having lost the effort to get Affero GPLv3 or whatever adopted close the various SAAS and Tivo loopholes, go back and say some old license has these terms.
> And when I see money, I see time that was spent. And time is something you can't get back, it's gone for good once you spend it. Every garbage can is a waste of life. Minutes and hours thrown away.

Quite the opposite. Often food waste is the result of convenience. That garbage can full of food in the cafeteria is a prime example: People could get smaller portions, but then they'd have to queue again to get seconds if they got too little, so they get a little more to be on the safe side.

Sometimes, something in my fridge spoils because I didn't eat it fast enough. I could always shop only for the next day when I'm sure I'll eat it, but then I'd spend at least an hour extra each week on trips to the store.

Sure, some time was spent to produce it, but the low price is a good signal that that is negligible.
Looks good and I will check it out.

The only feature/reason why I still use strava is to send my wife the URL that will tell her exactly where on the map I am (beacon text). I'm guessing there are probably other open source solutions to this problem I have just not looked.
SEEKING WORK - REMOTE

Building a startup as a non-technical founder is like playing on hard mode.

You've got no shortage of vision, but you can't build that vision yourself. Getting it built means entering the world of Nerds.

As someone who doesn't speak the language of Tech, interfacing with that world can be exhausting. You can spend hours digesting the jargon & buzzwords. But that's time you could spend doing what matters most to any founder:

Growing your business.

I help non-technical founders manage their tech so they can focus on growth.

If you’re going to succeed as a non-technical founder, you need someone who can help you navigate the world of Nerds. Someone who can take your vision and turn it into something designers & developers can execute. A team of Nerds who helps you lean into your strengths as a non-technical founder, letting you focus on your business while they stack the bricks.

You can learn more about that team at https://NoNerds.com

Here's what our clients say about us:

“We’ve got more done in the last 4 hours than Sam and I have achieved in the past couple of weeks.” - Eric Menna, cofounder https://getloper.com

“We’ve had ideas flowing for so many months—now that we finally get to put them on paper it feels good.” - Mason Still, cofounder https://theblueverse.com

“Going back to the overall process, I am really enjoying it and and think that its 100% with the cost. Now that we're in it I can't imagine how it could've gone any other way." - Sachin Gulaya, CEO https://alpinevapor.com/

> that kind of gets at the fundamental conceit of Marxist critiques of capitalism,

Sure, Marx's critiques have stood the test of time pretty well.

> Everyone is incentivized to join to the upper class by easiest and most accessible means possible, and get-rich-quick schemes are the natural endpoint of that incentive.

I agree, but there is generally a inverse correlation between easy/accessible and real/successful. Sure, some people got a truly easy path to "rich" (massive inheritance, lucky bet on the right stock, seizing previously state-owned industries because of your connections), but they are statistically rare. So I'd argue that by the time we get to the get-rich scam scenario, very fewer are entering the upper class (or even the middle class) via these schemes.

Also, by "rich" here I don't mean "comfortable and able to pay the mortgage, an annual vacation, etc", but rather the more contemporary definition of "F-you money".

With over-parameterized neural networks, the problem essentially becomes convex and even linear [1], and in many contexts provably converges to a global minimum [2], [3].

The question then becomes: why does this generalize [4], given that the classical theory of Vapnik and others [5] becomes vacuous, no longer guaranteeing lack of over-fitting?

This is less well understood, although there is recent theoretical work here too.

Senior full-stack dev (lean more towards devops->backend than backend->frontend, but I can still sling some React components together and reduce your JS payload size). Lately I've been loving Stimulus Reflex and playing with a lot of micropython/ESP32/IoT stuff.

I excel at figuring out how to solve problems at all levels of abstraction (including what level of abstraction you should use), getting a solution in place, and then figuring out the feedback loops to iterate on that solution. I'm the senior engineer that knows that most coding is coming to an understanding of what problem you are trying to solve. Sometimes the most impactful code is the code you don't write.

Trying to change the world, still parsing the source code. I've been programming on the web since 1995, had a first career as a social worker and policy statistician, and have worked full-time as a programmer for almost a decade now.

Especially enjoy API and system design, integrating with crappy systems, user research, and really weird bugs. Make a decent PM in a pinch, but would prefer you have great PMs.

Will give you more looks if you can tell me why what you are doing makes the world better, but you've got to really believe it in your heart.

Coastal commission's head would explode if we tried to lift a neighborhood.
My local grocery store is like this.

They never seem to have enough cashiers, and instead of having a single line served by many cashiers like most stores in the area, you just have to pick your line and hope it works out. They normally only have two registers open, too. So it is abundantly clear when someone has managed to get ahead of you.

No idea why this in particular drives me so nuts
I like seeing stuff like this. Not because I would use this "in production" or even that I'm a Rust programmer (I'm not), but because the JavaScript hegemony re: supported client-side languages is long overdue for a challenge. I'd love to see any number of languages fully supported in real-life workflows. Sure we have many transpile-to-JS languages already, and I've used some myself, but WASM seems like it closes the gap in some respects for both versatility and performance (though not all problem domains are fully fleshed out yet).
What is harder?
Go ahead and try to convince people.

I have created fully automated systems for indoor that control everything except harvest. It is impossible to convince people due to the cost I am pretty sure.

This basic thesis about curing aging rather than disease is the core of Dr David Sinclair's book Lifespan.

Though we aren't currently working on aging specifically at https://SoundMind.co, we are focused on improving sleep with one of the long-term benefits being longevity and improved longer quality of life.

We are already seeing the benefits of extending life via exercise and proper diet. Sleep is the next mountain to climb. You can't give people long life if you can't get them sleeping better, and our sleep naturally degrades as we age.
What's amazing to me is that there are many software engineers here who can recognize how errors like this can so easily creep into software (some would say they're inevitable in any sufficiently complex software) but they still somehow think immutable smart contracts on blockchains are somehow still the future.

Crazy.
The issue the SFC has had is that folks like Linus and other developers are not interested AT ALL in their approach to enforcement or their interpretation of the GPL.

Since code talks and talk walks, they are not left with a ton. The Affero GPLv3 fell totally flat. GPLv3 pretty flat (Samba was a big adopter maybe? Not sure what growth they saw after that). Some of the SFC enforcement saw a big move / growth in MIT style licenses (no copyleft elements really) which is a big tragedy as well as a fracturing of licensing (another miss in my book).

So if they can get folks to assign them the copyright, that will let them start chasing again.

I'm not handwaving, I cited the article, the youtube video. This is pretty well known as a debate.
This is great. I'd love to hear about the tech stack you used to make it.

For folks looking to learn rust, I'd highly recommend the educative.io course "Learn Rust from scratch". Rust has a lot of seemingly valid syntaxes for common things that can turn into a rabbit hole e.g. the difference between &str, str, String, and &String. The educative course does a good job working through the thorns and pointing out things that won't work.

"Why many software engineers think salespeople are idiots"

Though, now I have learned they more than earn their money.
> And I was thinking "not even!" It's been my experience that scaling up employee count, has diminishing returns, with even some net negatives with some adds.

That's fair, but I don't think you're going to hit that from 1 -> 2. It's been my experience that 4-5 is where the diminishing returns start really happening and a complete loss of gain at around 4-8.

> So why is this? Why does it work in computing, but not with people? Is it the nature of the tasks (one is problem solving, the other is grinding out computations?).

With a worker (computer) the task has generally been completely defined before the task starts. Tasks done by human workers generally require a portion of "deciding how to do the thing". Assuming that requires full team meetings, on a team of 8, it requires 8 times as many meetings for 8 people and each meeting taking up 8 times the number of people's time (~64x time loss).

this is compared to a hypothetical "1 person meeting", which would probably just be someone sitting around thinking about the best way to do something
I'd skip the name calling.

You fail to understand how copyright works. If I'm the creator of the work, I have the copyright to it.

And yes, I'd be happy to represent myself if SFC came along and told me I could or couldn't do something with the code I wrote because that makes no sense. I can choose a license, I can dual license, I can re-license future releases and I can stop providing updates under any of those licenses.

So sure, if you and the SFC want to go after me for my code, go for it.

There seems to be a modern confusion that the folks NOT doing any of the work in writing code have all sorts of rights with respect to it (or time of a dev to fix their bugs). False.

This seems like a great reason to use Rust in the browser, or any other high performance statically typed language.
