I don't want to enter in the merit of your company's choice, it's definitely up to you what license to use, but I'm confused about that statement around AGPL. How would AGPL harm users?
Nicely said, I think this is a mostly accurate assessment. A lot of grad students are type A, a lot are type B, and plenty are both. Still, I do think a fourth kind exists (or a sub type of B) which is people who struggle to balance all the things in their lives and despite their best efforts end up with work on the weekends. Not everyone "choose[s] to follow spontaneous whims or to relax or procrastinate instead.", many people do their best to not procrastinate or to plan things out well, but particularly when there are deadlines it's simply hard to do.

I can also tell you from experience, although this is not regularly the case, when it comes time to try to submit a paper to a conference it's definitely possible that there is so much work that there is no way to contain the work to M-F. Which is of course how people get burned out, depressed, etc. And it's all too common in academia, with grads students having to balance teaching, research, classes, and more.
> Betsy Devos isn't interested in quality public schools, she wants to privatize schools and degrade public education. Who knows what a radical Supreme Court will do next? Republicans have had public education in their crosshairs for decades.

Amway Princess gets a lot of flack for pushing all of the same policies that Arne Duncan and his boss pushed before her. Democratic politicians have been positively energetic in undermining and privatizing public education.
Yes I'm sticking up for him, even after you lob out cancel words. When racist is is redefined to mean "anti-racist" , then sure I'll stick up for "racism".
If you are reasonably healthy, reasonably young, and reasonably well-off, you’ll most probably not die from any mosquito-transmitted disease. And most people think that they belong to that group. None of the above will protect you from a shark once it found you.

Pretty much any mathematician, on seeing `xy`, would think it's `x*y`, and not a new symbol called "xy".
That's fair. I feel more confident about Google's OSS (like flutter) surviving than I do about Google's consumer products. The flutter community is very strong, and as far as offerings go, it's (imo) the strongest product that abstracts UI/UX development over web and mobile, and the demand for that abstraction is very real.

Plus having Dart (which feels a bit like Java, but less verbose) as the foundation language raises the bar in terms of library code quality (compared to Javascript at least)

>But. For the love of God, can we not simply decline, on Hacker News, to take seriously a man who arbitrarily specifies that equity training is 'Maoist'?

"Equity training", in this context, is more or less a struggle session (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Struggle_session>) from Maoist China.
The design feels like a massive lost opportunity. There's a lot of legacy to pay homage to, but if you showed me the images with the logos removed, I couldn't even remotely guess what company came up with it.

Yes, and for general relativity even more so.

GR is quite separate from the rest of physics, at least until you get to a very deep level.

You still need a good teacher. GR is exactly the kind of topic that can seem horribly ugly or incredibly fascinating depending on the teaching method.

Moreover raytracing/general physical modeling in a general relativistic spacetime can be exactly the kind of project that can be accessible to a programmer curious about physics
I'm still digesting this and might yet decide that I disagree with some parts, but as a vehicle to provoke thought it's excellent. Reexamining assumptions (note: not conclusions based on data) from time to time is often beneficial, and OP provides a lucid framework for doing so within this space.
Are you implying that the excess death rate was zero? Or do you have a different definition than I do? The excess death rate is the difference between the current death rate and the rate expected by extrapolation from historical data.

It's find to support turning a border conflict into WWIII, but pretending like sending $40 billion of arms to Ukraine isn't an escalation is beyond the pale. Russia's yearly military budget is only $70 billion.

Bravo for picking the BSL and writing your license the way you have. It shows maturity in that you and your company know what they are doing and intend to be there for the long haul.
I don't get why such commitments were made in the first place. Why is it OK for Russia to be dictating what sovereign countries can or cannot do within their own borders? Especially now, given their behaviour on the world stage the West shouldn't pay slightest heed to Russia's demands. Why is it always the liberal democracies that need to bend to the will of the dictators? How about for once we just say "no" to a tyrant?

Also in case you're going to pull out some kind of whataboutism with regards to America's behaviour on the world stage, please spare me. America's no saint but if you're equating its shenanigans with Russia's you have no clue what you're talking about. I grew up behind the iron curtain so I experienced the "Russian Mir" first hand. NATO is not encroaching on Russia. It's the countries bordering Russia that are running the fuck away from its awful embrace. No country that joined NATO after 1989 did it because they were being coerced. They all _begged_ to be admitted and made a lot of sacrifices to get in. Dwell on that before you give credence to any Russia apologetics.

Yes, of course. The threat is from wardriving/neighboring wireless devices outside building walls, whose radio waves (2.4Ghz) penetrate the walls of your business or home. This can be done today with $20 ESP32 devices and custom firmware, the difference with Wi-Fi 7 is that it will be built into consumer routers and sold as a feature for monitoring humans (babies, elderly, security, Minority Report-style 3D gesture recognition combined with VR/AR 3D room models from iPhone/iPad Pro lidar).

Through-wall Wi-Fi sensing potentially affects anyone who types a password into a computer without 2FA, or uses a physical safe with combination lock or electronic button. Many physical door locks are not secure, so an intruder can enter a building once without detection, to perform a detailed 3D scan of the interior for correlation with external Wi-Fi sensing observations.

e.g. here is a photorealistic 3D model of an apartment in San Francisco, generated by an iPhone Pro lidar interior scan by an AirBnb customer, https://poly.cam/capture/C0EBFFE1-FF80-49FC-B308-A8A3E67930F.... If Wi-Fi 7 Sensing becomes widely available, the interior 3D lidar+photo scan could be combined with an exterior 3D radar scan of the interior. Do AirBnB hosts know their properties can be 3D-scanned?

I'm actually still close friends with a lot of them, and importantly that includes people I didn't really "like" intuitively but I relied on for a long time.

I don't think it's that simple really. Chemistry and personality are overrated. Sacrifice and obligation are what really binds people together and if we want to extend the discussion a bit, I think modern marriage which has shifted from being framed as something that's about duty and family towards shared interest and chemistry is an example of how frail this is as a basis for relationships as well.
That’s because react is a library, and not a framework.

I should have written more clearly: Github's pull-request workflow is regarded by some (obviously including myself) to be the "extend" part of an "embrace, extend, extinguish" play. In other words, 1) embrace Git, 2) extend it using a Github-only feature and encouraging an entire generation of developers to think that you can't use Git without pull-requests, 3) making it some sort of proprietary product.

IIRC Sourcehut was Drew's way to develop a Git hosting solution that integrated the Linux kernel project's workflow. The idea being that this is a completely open-source project that uses open standards, i.e. email, rather than proprietary things like pull-request.

He wrote a great article on the email-driven workflow: https://drewdevault.com/2018/07/02/Email-driven-git.html

You're right, though, Github has done a service to the open-source community, and nobody forces you to use pull-requests.
Where do I talk about who's firing the first shot? I didn't and I don't think that. You're just inventing a version of what I said that is easier for you to respond to.

Sure, this guy is responding to what the original professor said. And he's being notably more aggressive. And my point is that if you're main motivation was being driven by compassion, that's not how you'd act. That's not what he's doing though, he's trying to damage someone he disagrees with to score points for what he perceives to be "his team" and doing it under a false facade of compassion.

It's just a gang fight. He's trying to damage the other team to support his team. So at least don't be surprised when the other team fights back.
Although (to my knowledge) a new version hasn't been produced since 2014, the London Connections map [0] does something along these lines.

It's primarily geographical, but isn't completely precise, and it retains some topological features.

I think most passengers would find it too confusing, but maybe there are ways it could be simplified.

See also the unofficial Carto Metro map [1], which is an actual geographic map of London's rail network. And also the map of key bus routes in Central London [2], which is largely topological but represents major parks and attractions.

I used PopOS as well as Fedora on my desktop for school for 2 years. Tried it on a Lenovo as well and that was pretty laughable. I lost 30% of my battery life switching to linux. I gave up this year and just bought the 16" M1 Mac when it came out. Some things are absolutely laughable about it but for the most part it just works TM.

For the 95% use case it's fine but the 5% where stuff just breaks is infuriating.

Office just doesn't work right, and random things subtly break and it's hard to fix even as a technical user. I don't want to navigate between a bunch of files and waste time editing config files for hours. Give me a UI that tells me how to fix my shit.

Only place where I run linux now is on a virtualized server using Proxmox. Linux is a great server OS but it just doesn't work very well as a user distro.

Nice to see this posted here. I feel obliged to say that the 2nd edition (which is now finally completed) has a number of Kickstarter backers waiting for their treeware, and I'm sorry for the delay in getting that to them. It's the print-run process, much more than the shipping, that turns out to be complicated, somewhat to my surprise, but I am plugging away at it. I am very grateful for those backers' support and have not forgotten.

In the meantime, the entire 2nd edition is online in various formats, under a free license of course (CC-BY-SA), at the link OP gave.

That's a particularly interesting example, because the ridge wallet is (supposedly) a tool for improving privacy, but your experience suggests that the process used for selling it is hardly respectful of privacy. I've also seen the ads, and I'm damn sure they're coming to me through "surveillance advertising" as OP calls it. Fear-based advertising that exacerbates the underlying cause of that (possibly quite legitimate) fear seems to be an accelerating trend.
If that's the case, why would you accede to the EU's demands? Would you geoblock search results in China if the CCP deemed certain content or content providers illegal?
Agreed, very interesting things going on in the "edge" space. I personally think this is why HN is so jazzed about things like fly.io. Super low latency opens up a whole new category of applications, it's a "step function" change in that regard.
I guess it depends on your Bayesian updating model.

What does EMF shielding (for security or any other reason) have to do with airflow?

Radiant barrier is perforated with small holes for airflow, which don't affect shielding performance at lower frequencies like 2.4Ghz/5Ghz, which can pass through walls. mmWave Wi-Fi radar (e.g. 60Ghz 802.11ad) doesn't propagate well through walls. There is conductive mesh for open windows and some existing window insect screens are made of conductive material that effectively blocks EMF.

Indoor air quality can be monitored, with or without EMF shielding.

They didn't push it into your browser. You pulled it when you chose to visit their server. Sure you used to be able to set a few things like font and background color, but the website author/administrator has always had more control than the client.

This never existed. Already in the mid-nineties we were arguing about how to do navigation and other things the user had no control over, and they were complaining they couldn't figure it out.

> I couldn’t find a local msp who’d do desktop Linux support the same way we were getting.

You could find competent third-party GWorkspace support, plus unless you fully moved to ChromeOS, you will still support Windows in one way or another (although students usually gets Chromebooks, try moving a teacher using a 15-year old application that still works on latest versions of Windows). RHEL is geared towards enterprise but not education sectors, and I'm not aware of a commercial support which specialty is in the education sector.
Big Öffi fan here. When I switched to a dumb phone as a daily driver and a Pine Phone for fun, I was very pleased to discover KTrip. The mobile version works well with the three (German) transport districts I use as well as Deutsche Bahn. Included OSM links for every station. You cannot search for connections based on arrival time, though. GUI wise, I miss Öffi's time line view for connections, and the weird analogue clock input for departure time is a pain.
The reason that theorem exists is because Physics caused Godel to exist.
It's not a gotcha statement. I believe in individual action, even for global problems. And I believe you're a hypocrite if you accuse others of lacking empathy for the problem while both parties external behavior is exactly the same. It's literally thinking "thoughts and prayers" for homeless people will help them, and deriving some kind of smug moral superiority for that.

You say there are "often" laws against what I proposed, which is having someone sleep in a spare bedroom.

What percent of Americans do you think are subject to those laws?

What is the homeless population? Something like 0.1% of Americans. How many Americans have bleeding hearts when thinking about the homeless? I dunno, maybe 5%?

So even if 50% of people lived in restrictive housing locations where they couldn't implement it, you'd still only need 4% of the remaining bleeding hearts to take in a single homeless person to solve the problem.
If Ukraine (Borderland) is NATO controlled, it could have missiles within seconds (not minutes) of Moscow. This nullifies their missile defense, and mutually assured destruction. It also enables NATO to bring to bear superior numbers, and greater technology advantages. It also eliminates a key port for Russia.

If Ukraine is split into Eastern (New Russia) and Western Ukraine, they will have avoided the worst possible outcome, but at significant cost.

If Ukraine had announced permanent neutrality and buffer state status (like Switzerland) that would have been the best outcome for Russia. No troops deployed, no losses, no big threat of NATO on your doorstep.

This game is merely about avoidance of the worst outcome at this point for the Russians
This sounds more like forced obsolescence.
Neither of those links provide any numbers or good reasons to think that Cuba and the US can be easily compared. So while I agree that the idea is attractive and plausible, it remains merely an idea. And it is an old one too, I remember reading somewhere that in ancient China doctors were paid while you were well but you stopped paying if you fell ill so it was in the doctor's interest to prevent you falling ill. I have no idea if the story is true but it does suggest that the idea is not new.

I've had that fixed in the past by simply adding an ampersand to org's compile command. This does make it run in the background but makes it ring the bell a number of times.

It's not mosquitoes per se, but the plasmodia they carry, that kill people.

So, if we could design a cure for mosquitoes, that would be really a good thing for both humans and nature.

Maybe similar to what we already do with wolbachia to cure mosquitoes of arboviruses such as dengue or zika.
> [...] This kind of harassment is something I hear about often from many maintainers of projects on SourceHut. It breaks my heart and I feel helpless to do anything about it.

I most certainly can't provide an answer here but doesn't the medium (IRC, mailing lists, forums, etc) facilitate this toxic environment too? People whose sole intent is to manufacture a narrative in order to harass someone, or their project(s), are a lot more comfortable doing so online. They are guaranteed a wide audience, lots of views and publicity which in turn maximizes the damage. Rarely do I encounter this behavior in workplace meetings, conferences or venues that require physical attendance.
