My first question would be: what's your goal? Why do you want to open source it?

Because if the answer is "knowledge sharing" then just document it and open it, that's it, whoever is interested will show up (and if nobody does you don't care, your goal is fulfilled). If instead your goal is to eventually build a community around it then you'll have to put more effort (for example talk in conferences).

You get my point, you will know which road to take as soon as you know where you want to go.

The Great Resignation was a step in the right direction.
Picasso was a pioneer, and this alone means he gets the kudos by default. Many pioneers didn't make the best content, but they were the first to introduce the world to that type of content, and just like Black Sabbath was no where near the best metal band, they will forever remain legends.
> I meant buy as in pay for the right to use it.

I meant the same thing. You don't have the money for it. Ok, maybe if you mortgaged your house, you might.

> It's legitimate for the state to wield the powers delegated to it by the people.

One can debate what powers have actually been legitimately delegated, if any (also depends on where in the world you live.) I argue people have certainly not delegated the power to government to prevent them from sharing copies of files and running those files.

> Our society (I mean the west generally but other societies too) have for a very long time decided that ownership rights can be legitimately exercised on some information in some circumstances

If you mean that Queen Anne decided to prop up the printers' guild, then yes:

> Investment in ... software development

This argument didn't hold much water before there was a decent infrastructure of free software, and by now it's completely bunk.

> Investment in ... writing books, creating music, making movies and TV would utterly collapse.

Not only would this not collapse, it would barely be impacted, seeing how people copy all of this stuff already - albeit not necessarily legally - and there are public libraries for books.
There's no "theirs" software ecosystem.
Link: Troof on Nootropics
Everyone, I was monitoring this thread a while back and it got no traction. I only now seeing the comments (we really do need a notification system for HN) I'll try to answer them all right now.
This is fantastically incorrect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_land#Area shows the history of agricultural land growth.
This will be obvious to any C programmer, but the macro[1] used throughout the article only "works" on string literals and arrays, not pointers.

Also, it will include the null terminator. Probably won't do any harm but quite silly if you're redirecting to a file for example. I'd subtract one, or use strlen which would cover the pointer case above and I'd hope a modern compiler would elide the call on a string literal anyway.

A "coglione", which is the Italian word for the dialectal "cojone", is literally a testicle. Anyway you can also call someone a "coglione" and it means they are somewhere between dumb, jerk and ignorant.
It's hard to evaluate art without the context of its origins. Michelangelo's works were done in 15th and 16th century, so it's quite obvious that similar art, no matter how detailed or precise couldn't have been considered revolutionary at the beginning of 20th century, but it turned out that Picasso's "grade schooler's work" has been.

Another example of this is Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe" that was just sold for $195M. Currently, you can write a neural network that will create better looking portraits, but it wouldn't convey any of the context in which Warhol first created his pop-art.

Edit: typo in MM's name.
IMHO the #1 thing you can do for developer productivity is to reduce the development feedback loop to under 30 seconds and preferably under 10. Why? Longer than that and you have two choices:

1. Work on simultaneous tasks at once. This incurs a context-switching penalty; or

2. Get distracted by HN, social media, reddit or whatever. This has the same context-switching penalty and you can end up spending way more time on that distraction than the development loop actually needed.

I've worked on a code base where it took 3 minutes minimum to run a unit test. Some adjust to this mindset by doing more in a single test but even in the most optimal fashion it's not as good as quick turnaround.

For what it's worth, most of the devs I roll with these days have discovered therapy over the past couple years and are extremely thankful for it.
This begs the question to me, is there a way to "fix" Twitter, without greatly reducing its impact? It seems to me some people talk about making Twitter "the" public forum, but most of the fixes to Twitter seem to be about how to make it work for your niche. Which is great! Things shouldn't have to be big or making billions of dollars to be good. But "No politicians, no journalists, no institutions" doesn't sound like a public forum to me, and I can't imagine some people would buy Twitter in order to dramatically shrink it.
For sure, I'll do that. Sorry about the confusion

Who said anything about you specifically?
The author seems not to be aware of the recent TUI rennaisance[1]. There are libraries like termbox and blessings (python) that are a middle-ground between full ncurses and adding your own ansi codes. There are a lot of modern TUI frameworks like tui-go or tui-rs that bring common GUI conventions back to the TUI (heck there are TUI programming libraries that are designed to be similar to react) - these too tend to be a lot nicer than working with ncurses.

Definitely worth checking out the full landscape these days if you're going to dive into making your console programs prettier.

[1] My words, I just coined that name (although I wouldn't be surprised if others had said it too). I mean that in the last ~decade there has been a lot of TUI work in the background, with lots of new programs and some pretty stunning results. I blame unicode - once the web folks realized they could use something like font-awesome instead of sprite-sheets (or maybe as a pre-build sprite sheet?), and the "icons in a font" movement took hold, terminal programs got a lot prettier too. It makes sense, its the same font/font renderer provided by the system no matter if the app is a browser or terminal emulator.
EVs are still too expensive, because the cars are too large and heavy.

We need more light electric vehicles with max speeds of 75mph. Bigger than a golf cart and smaller than a Tesla Model 3.
Yes, that is the joke. The fact that there is an internet meme that describes common traits of people that come across their "doppelganger" in the wild and these two related men exhibit them save for the glasses is the joke.
i’m frequently confused by people referring to “anonymous” accounts on Twitter. every Twitter user needs a handle, so it’s not really possible to use it anything less than pseudonymously AIUI.

by “anonymous”, do most people mean pseudonymous users who haven’t established an identity (i.e. few to no posts, or no bio, or egg avatar)? or do most people mean to capture all pseudonymous users under that “anonymous” label? (in which case, how does one evaluate if the user is pseudonymous or using their legal name? even blue-checks can be pseudonymous).

No, Apple's top leadership are all operations people or engineers, plus general counsel. The fact that some spent 2 years at an mba school doesn't make them forget their 4 years of industrial engineering/operations/supply chain undergrad.

Yes there is. 3 out of the 11 members the board are clearly software engineers.
Don't know if you checked recently but Verizon was always way more expensive here as well but about a year or so ago we noticed they had started offering must more competitive pricing for families/individuals.
On the flip side, we shouldn't underestimate the competitive edge of actually having life-work balance. Recovering properly when you're off work makes you smarter and more productive when you're at work. Being chronically exhausted, bordering on burn-out is not a recipe for getting shit done.

I look forward to reading something structured, that we can argue with better than you-say/I-say.

> the good parts come from collaboration, happen simultaneously in different places by different people

Particularly looking to see what arguments back this claim. Again, not interested in spending 25 minutes milking it out of this video. But my apologies for calling it stupid. That was uncalled for & based only on my personal preference of text over video/audio argumentation.

I was pretty polarizing last night. I can think of a number of anecdotes as counter-example to my own claim, where a rough general idea, not anything particularly insightful, was slowly worked by the group into excellence. But I also still think there's a ton of ideas that spring from the mind that change things radically, that reshape the scene, and these are not community wins.

All ideas ultimately must make it through the long gauntlet of development & refinement, which is typically more collective. Although we have counterexamples here too: Jobs, as the Chief "No" officer, with unrelenting tastes where most companies would accept what they'd done.

I guess mostly I think it's a futile attempt to argue one way or the other. It really depends. I think we overrate the likelihood/impact/probability of great men, but on the other hand, I absolutely think some individuals have times & places & roles & really are responsible for vast things. I've seen so many small examples where an individual's push for excellence makes such a significant difference in the world, and to try to argue definitively that only the collective matters seems bunk. I think we have to start by admitting a spectrum, & rejecting absolutes.
I'm fairly certain we'll hit the point where we can no longer reasonably throw bootcampers at jobs and expect professional output by 3 months way, way before "peak software". We already don't expect that from loads of other fields, both arts and sciences.
> Same thing with DAOs democratizing governance.

Is "plutocratizing" a word? Because that's what most of them are actually doing -- granting power to whoever has purchased (or rented!) the largest number of tokens.
Not all terminal emulators follow that completely. Most only include a subset and some include their own proprietary escape codes too (like iTerm and Terminology have codes for rendering images. tmux has an escape code for changing the session title).

Then there's other specs not included in that doc even outside of the aforementioned proprietary codes. Like Sixel, conventions on non-POSIX terminals, etc. Also lets not forget the popular-but-not-standardised conventions like the hyperlink escape codes (which I personally think shouldn't exist in the first place....but that's another topic entirely).

Even standard ASCII characters can differ from one platform to another. Backspace being a classic example: ISO 646 describe it as ^H whereas ASCII 1963 has it as ^?

This mess of differing compatibilities is exactly why termcap is a thing.

Being an author of a readline library, this is a topic quite close to my heart :)

So, about the name, the first time I've heard about WFC was when this post was released https://github.com/mxgmn/WaveFunctionCollapse

I did not included it on my readme because I did not used or even looked at their code, but that's the WFC I was referring to when I named my project.

I learned the basic concepts of WFC from different sources and try to implement them on my own.

In the case of GPT-3, scaling seemed to continuously improve results, they just kinda ran out of data. Are you implying this must be the same for this model? Or were you intending to say something different that I didn't see?

Wow, what a waste of time. I've been doing it correctly for so long that I forget that virtually everyone else on the planet has no idea how to build a good data model. What pisses me off is that I actually have the right answer on how to avoid all of this pain, but if I typed it out here I'd either waste my time and get ignored or (much, much less likely) get my idea poached. It takes hours to fully communicate anyway. What do you do when you know you're sitting on an approach & tech that could revolutionize the X-hundred-billion-dollar data management industry but you can barely even get your own fucking employer to take you seriously?

Anyway this article is crap and gets everything wrong, just like all of you do. Whatever, nothing to see here I guess.

I'd rather learn to draw gesture (which is what is described even if they didn't know the name for it) and simplifying from Glenn Vilppu or Steve Huston, personally, and you don't need mystique about the class like this article tries to evoke. You can find both at New Masters Academy (NMA.art) for a super reasonable monthly cost - sort of like an art lessons netflix.

If your goal is to draw like picasso you need to be where he is at 15 before you understand what you're simplifying. Even after you take apple's class you'll have concepts but you won't have thousands of hours of practice that actually using any of those lessons requires.
There is no need for the complexity of terminfo or termcap, because we have an ECMA/ANSI/ISO standard for terminal control. We have had it since before terminfo. ECMA-48 dates back to 1976. People have had 46 years to upgrade to standard-conforming terminals.

Terminfo is not a de jure standard, only de facto. It is not in POSIX.

POSIX specifies a tput command with exactly three operations: clear, init and reset.

Right here: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/t...

There is a Rationale section giving reasons for why terminfo wasn't standardized.

Bottom line: ECMA/ANSI is the real standard that can be used to drive a conforming terminal from any OS, without any special library other than basic I/O.

0% to even lets say 50% instead of "all" in 10 years is just not possible. The "valuable" employees (engineers) for these companies don't even want to unionize. You'll have to convince them that somehow it would work out in there favor before you could even start the effort and that would take years alone.

I still don't know that I've seen anything more impressive for this sort of thing than the Rebol parser.

http://www.rebol.net/cookbook/recipes/0042.html

Red also has this capability, and it is quite expressive and natural.

A lot of people are familiar with the 90-9-1 rule regarding social networks. 90% is just lurking and never tweets, 9% might occasionally tweet, and 1% writes most tweets, or more accurately...writes the tweets that generate the most engagement.

What not everybody understands is that this rule pretty much also applies to every individual. If you have a 1000 followers, you should very much assume that 90% never even sees your tweets. 10% might see it, of which possibly 1% bothers to lift their finger and like it. An even smaller percentage might make the gigantic effort of typing a comment.

These numbers roughly play out on the author's twitter profile where the typical post has 0-1 likes with the occasional outlier of 3-5 likes, and in general...almost no comments at all. So the roughly 500 followers add up to this tiny amount of actual engagement that you can substantiate to about 5 people. It's a very rough guidance, but dividing followers by a 100 can't be far off in trying to come to a meaningful following.

If you think that's pessimistic, consider this extreme example:

https://twitter.com/nytimes

The NYTimes has a stunning 53M followers. When you scroll through their feed, notice how the typical tweet struggles to even get 100 likes or comments. There's the occasional outlier regarding politically impactful tweets, but even those fail to impress.

If we are to take their "typical" tweet and round that up to 100 likes / comments, which is already optimistic, we're talking about an engagement percentage of 0.0002%, or 1 in 5,000 followers engaging.

When you do this same exercise for somebody that truly gets Twitter, Elon Musk (for better or worse), we're talking about roughly 1 in 1,000 followers engaging.

This doesn't even account for bots. And it also doesn't go into the issue of actual engagement typically being of a very low quality, hardly enriching.

In my view, both Instagram and Twitter are not great for community building or rich conversations. Good old forums, reddit, HN, Discord and even Facebook groups are vastly superior at it.
Strong disagree.

Video streaming someone's work station is about as ideal as you can imagine for most codecs. There is VERY little movement, everything is consistent and stable. Change from frame to frame is ultimately what determines how good a picture looks at a given bitrate. Little change means the codecs can spend more bits on fine details.
I found it just after many of the covid restriction were lifted, which resulted in businesses, schools and even churches getting rid of streaming gear on ebay. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but I found quite a few at that were sold around that price (I just checked my ebay account and it was $75).

Just checked and the price for new one where I live (Tel Aviv) is around $450, so I guess I was lucky, at least in that sense.

Still, I do not know of any cheaper option to get 1080p video with older machines. I'm assuming that OBS on a 2022 Macbook would be able to deal with live encoding, but back in 2021 I was still seeing posts on OBS forums detailing streaming issues with M1 macs, and since most of them describe issues with streaming on Twitch, I could only assume it must be for video conferencing.
Thanks for the links. Looks like a nice utility belt for devs who want to be productive.

Most orgs kill productivity and creativity with lack of compensation, treating them like a code farm, or mediocre peers.

Devs choose to be productive in different environments, most of the time it’s simple, step aside and let the dev do more than code. Talk to a client (yes! It’s not as crazy as it sounds). Show appreciation with bonuses not a seasonal holiday themed ham.

I think your headed in the right direction!
I'm not sure what else I can do on my own.

Thanks, didn't know about it and it's an interesting marketplace. Catalog is limited but I found bands that I follow there.

> When they go belly up what happens to all the time you invested in it?

Spotify is just a platform to listening to music, the subscription fee is like paying rent, time is invested in what I listen to. And it will not go belly up, at least not all streaming services, it will just raise subscription fees.

I understood your argument it's better to buy the albums now than to expend all that money on streaming and then later having to buy all of that anyways. But that is a misconception because not everyone is a collector and some are just explorers and like to listen to a new artist/album for a weeek and then move on.

You're misunderstanding either the parent comment or how entropy works. An organism is not a closed system, and thus isn't bound by any law of increasing entropy. In fact, life is practically _defined_ by maintaining local entropy (at the cost of the entropy of the systems it interacts with), as in Schrodinger's seminal work, "What is Life".

The parent comment's claim that "life is a war against entropy" is completely in line with this model.
HPV vaccination brings the WHO EU Region closer to a cervical cancer-free future
"HPV vaccination brings the WHO European Region closer to a cervical cancer-free future" is too long for the title field.

> New data from one of the first countries in the Region to introduce HPV vaccination reveal just how well the vaccines work to prevent invasive cervical cancer. In England, United Kingdom, researchers found that the HPV immunization programme has almost eliminated cervical cancer in women born since 1 September 1995 (who were vaccinated at age 12−13). Incidence among these women of late-stage (grade 3) CIN that could later develop into cancer has also been significantly reduced.
