They were always releasing code, that wasn’t the problem.

They clearly never helped to make it a usable standalone oss product, at all.

Just look at what the author said about breaking backwards compatibility upstream, with no regards to non Mac Darwin.

It’s melodramatic to call what Apple did a “marketing stunt”, but that code on its own is pretty useless.
ok, so proposed study design, provide a sample of these along with obscure english words to a number of individuals, and get them to try pick out the real words.

From there take the selection of the fake words people ranked the most real.

Select a number of those words and get Dall-E 2 to try and make images of them, then see how many of those images contain results that represent the imaginary word.

If anyone who has access to Dall-E 2 wants to try this, I would _love_ to see the results.
Fair point. But what about insurance? Certainly that would cover it.

That said, for some there's the appeal of investing locally, presuming the panel is say intra-state. That type of investing pays different dividends (e.g., grow local tax base, grows local jobs, etc.) Some accept the trade-offs.
Yeah looking at the drummer or the bass guitar also helps keep time because of this. Also Zoom music is impossible because of this.

AFAIK most bands that play on stage at fast tempos and are not improvising have a synced click going to everyone's IEMs together with their chosen mix of what's coming into the console. That makes musicians able to perform without looking at each other.

Ahhhhh!
Of course it is a bad thing. Framework is not a nonprofit. They spent blood and tears developing the designs, and needs to at least recoup the cost spent, if not make a profit.
Over the years we've heard stories of bad registrars but never has one locked you out then set the status to pendingdelete and have terms that allow them to take the domain.

Anyone who trusts them with a domain better hope for a slow news day on hn when you get flagged by mistake.
The proverbial "Searching for your car keys under the streetlight, after you lost them in the corn field"
Namecheap. They do a good job.
I am not sure the context makes it less worse.

If they alter the domain status to pendingdelete, as stated by the OP, the domain is de facto expired.

And the same Domain Registration Agreement gives them the unlimited right, at their sole discretion, to modify the registration of a domain for a number of reasons, for which it seems you have no other recourse than hoping to be on the frontpage of HN even if such decisions were unfounded.
Yep it is crazy. Most employees have no idea how their work impacts the cash flow and revenues of the company they work for.
I happen to know of a big application that handles a surprisingly large sum of money every day that uses it extensively.
Are you allowed to say if it is the board manufacturer or chip/component manufacturers that require the NDA? I'm mostly curious what level of vendor the restriction is coming from to get a better idea of what needs to change for Framework (or any other company) to be able to release the full schematics without NDA.
That seems to be a pattern. VLTA recently had an executive shakeup that seems to stem from their overcompensation for closing a relatively mediocre spac offering.

Its sad as their business has surprisingly tremendous potential with good execution.
Well it would obviously depend on the person. But if I was recommending one book to say a random person that I didn't know it would be Finite and Infinite Games by James P. Carse.

I actually read it through the lens of true AGI, but I'm quite sure he didn't have that specific context in mind while writing it.

It is written in an aphoristic style and sometimes reminds me of the Tao Te Ching. Given that I'm not fully schooled in the entire history of philosophy and the fact that the book contains no bibliography, I find it frustrating to follow up on the topics covered.
In the US, the gifted program began with the intent of identifying kids that would help beat the Soviets. It later became another rat race.
It’s hard to convince 19 Texan families that they’re better off without police. That tactical uparmoring imparts courage. That the liberal haven of Boulder can raise a policeman who runs into danger first and alone, but your town in Texas cannot. A suicide won’t fix that.
Another thing I read in the comments under that thread is that there are people here trying to advocate CloudFlare to kick other customers out because disapproval of their politics. This sounds dangerous too. I think this has something to do with what CF did in the past.
Why would they ever do that? That isn't going to standup in court, you can't just take over another company with a line in your TOS

Cloudflares registrar service is quickly souring years of goodwill I had for the company.

Domain ownership/control is basicly the keys to the kingdom for most businesses and cloudflare should recognize that responsibility and fucking shape up.

Stop treating your registrar like its some side piece product you can use to lock people into your services.
There are a lot of reasons for going public through paths other than an IPO other than your company is “weak”.
XUL is still under development as UXP, by the Pale Moon community: https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/UXP

I'm not sure how they are dealing with documentation. Someone posted this link on Reddit's r/palemoon less than a year ago: https://udn.realityripple.com/docs/Archive/Add-ons/Overlay_E...
One way to balance is contract testing where you run a test suite against your mock/stub and the same test suite against the real thing. Your mock/stub would usually just have hardcoded data that aligns with the test suite to pass.

Another way is creating separate code libraries to abstract away external services. For instance, you might write ObjectStorage library that has real integration tests that use S3 but in your application you just stub out the ObjectStorage library. A lot of frameworks have verifying doubles or "magic mocks" or similar that will stub the method signatures so that can help make sure you're calling methods correctly (but wouldn't help catch data/logic issues).

Live upstreams are also prone to inconsistent state and race conditions--especially when you try to run more than 1 instance of the test suite at once.

For web services, I also like using "fixtures". You just manually run against a real service and copy the requests to a file (removing any sensitive data) than have your stub load the data from the file and return it. If you hit any bugs/regressions, you can just copy the results that caused them into a second file and add another test case.
I too would like a dedicated display space for voluminous exotic vases in my ordinary kitchen.
If you're going to make a calendar format, why not steal from existing formats? mbox format (http://qmail.org./man/man5/mbox.html):

From LAPTOP Sat Jan 3 01:05:34 1996
Subject: CAL EVENT: Call gas company

Account number: 12345678

From ANDROID
Date: Tuesday, May 31st, 2020 6pm EDT
Subject: CAL EVENT: Meet Chris after work for drinks at Bad Bar

A format like that could be edited in a text editor, or easily loaded into a simple app with an existing parser library. A single mbox could be a calendar with each e-mail a calendar item, which is easy to search/filter by an email client. As a bonus it supports MIME encoding to attach files. You can use one date format, or several, and have a script easily re-format the date lines if you want to grep/awk it.

Other existing formats (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar) have features missing here, like date/time ranges, recurrence, status, allday, reminder time/method. While you might not want them yet, you may want to convert your calendar to/from another format in the future.
Heck, in my previous $WORK, I saw differences from local (running Debian) to production running CentOS. Luckily one cluster of Jenkins build nodes were also running CentOS and those caught a subtle incompatibility between system libraries that would have blown up if we had merged and deployed to production. My local Debian testing env did not catch it.
What if you had to earn your undos? As opposed to starting with N of them in the beginning.

What if you scored like wordle but based on undos? 1 undo used, 2 undos used... Up to 5 undos used. This incentivizes the user to try and not undo if possible.

I think the eliminated score method is kind of redundant with the wordled scoring, just make the player guess the 1 word left and be wordled?

Really cool and fun idea, we had a great time playing with it and probably will add it to our daily rotation.
Previously led data teams in banks and you’re right. There are dozens of flags for test accounts. When auditing, we screen out these accounts. Of course, with a proper data cleaning process, analytics gets a lot easier

Great question.

Often new solar facilities come with tax benefits (ITC and MACERS depreciation) that the power consumer is unable to monetize - this is particularly true of non-profits and other businesses with very low tax bills. So they sell their solar facility to a private investor who is better able to exploit the tax benefits (i.e. people and orgs who have a lot of highly taxable income).

Legends can come in either at the beginning of that life cycle by selling off the tax equity to private investors and the panels themselves and the revenue they generate (i.e. sponsor equity) to retail investors. We can also come in after the tax benefits have been exploited (5-7 years after commissioning) and purchase the solar facility from the tax motivated investor.

In the future, we plan to bring project finance in house and do some origination work, as well. We are still at the start of our journey.
This app almost in its entirety has been a growing note in my idea vault for years now due to identical frustrations. Thank you! Very excited to try it.
Not really tho....most companies or high net worth people have most of their wealth in assets i.e. stocks, private companies, bonds...they will often just stay invested and watch the value of their assets go up. Only taking small profits here or there if they need the cash.
Chipping in as another Googler - agree that it is team-specific, but you generally can bring up development environments (in terms of what traffic is served, closed to the public, etc.), but these aren't actually run locally.
SQL would have looked different back in the 1970s if it had been designed from scratch. In fact it was. One example was QUEL, the query language for Ingres, which was an influential RDBMS developed at UC Berkeley by Stonebraker and Wang. [0, 1] So far none of the many attempts to develop a different language has succeeded.

IMHO the only way SQL will be replaced is if some variant becomes dominant because of a strong implementation that extends the language in useful ways, kind of how Latin turned in to French in the Middle Ages. Open source databases like MySQL and ClickHouse that ignore SQL standards BS and just put in useful features have shown the way.

This is why it's an enormous red flag when I see anyone doing customer service in the HN comments. You may as well have a neon sign that says "we only give a shit about the customers who can make trouble for us". When I see a founder fixing someone's problem I can be dead certain that when I become the one with the problem I am SOL.
Yup. No matter the cause, it’s the end of the world. In my experience the reason is escalation: you make a reasonable case, respondents argue in over-the-top tones, or in bad faith. Easy to escalate in turn. Eventually it’s impossible to have a moderate opinion, relayed in good faith, and hope to have any effect whatsoever.

Actually something similar happened to me with Namecheap a few days ago. They banned one of my domains without any detailed explanation and refused to recover it. I end up registered the domain again at Cloudflare. Now I see this post, I don't know which company to trust anymore ...

Here is their response when I asked them details:

---

Thank you for your email. We regret any inconveniences you may have experienced.

Please be informed that Namecheap is doing its best in order to reduce any possible misuse of our services. It was noticed that the domain in question was marked as potentially abusive in our system, and we were forced to cancel it based on the result of an internal investigation. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused by this action.

There are two options following which we can resolve the matter:

- Refund the domain to your payment source.
- Re-register it for you for free.

Please consider your choice and get back to us with a result.

Are you asking why isn’t there a download to cloud feature, or why isn’t it a default? If the former, that would be useful. But changing some default is not something worth its own thread afaik, because that rarely changes defaults. Just go and change it once and sync the settings to the cloud.
> In 2006, most webservers were either IIS on Windows Server or, believe it or not, NetBSD. In fact, the vast majority of webservers globally, like 90% or more, ran NetBSD

Do you have any sources to back this claim? I've always thought that (perhaps mistakenly) by 2005-ish Linux was already fairly dominant as a web server OS/platform.

Not asking because I think you are wrong -- I just would love to read more about this and couldn't find anything more than a web server survey from 2006[1]. The survey doesn't really mention specifics about any of the Unix-like platforms other than "Linux" or "Apache" (which I assume by Linux or Apache they are grouping all non-Windows OS-es together).

My interest: I'm a regular Linux user with some FreeBSD experience who finds the BSDs super interesting and their approach very admirable.

I am also a fan of CRDTs. Couchbase uses them. Yjs and automerge exist. You need to build your data storage on top of them and build a pub sub or a relay similar to IRC or echoserver. Or websockets. Now you have two problems. That's why I don't think they have adoption.

Merkle trees as in IPFS are useful too.

Decentralised apps exist but they're different to mainstream architecture.

I think the solution is to distribute the data storage and the app can rely on standard SQL.

I wrote a merkle CRDT[1] and I point everyone to braid's shelf implementation[2] for a simple implementation of a CRDT. Hyperhyperspace[4] is an interesting project.

I also recommend taking a look at bloom Lang[3] and CALM/BOOM papers[5].

The problem with distributed technology is that it is more complicated than centralised technology. Until it can be abstracted out and exposed as a simple design, I think it shall remain a niche interest.

Darwin is a big deal in that it’s backed by one of the 5 largest tech companies. But when you look at it, it’s essentially just Mach with FreeBSD (NetBSD core utils in PowerPC days) bolted on top.

Their repair-ability is better than basically any other commercial laptop: https://frame.work/marketplace/parts

You can upgrade your mainboard/cpu, RAM, SSD, wifi card. Swap in a new speaker, display, hinge, keyboard, touchpad, webcam, fingerprint reader, antenna, headphone jack, etc.

And complete schematics are available to repair shops under an NDA if you would like to have your mainboard or similar repaired at the component level.

Modern pens are horrible to write with, you have to press down on the paper to get the ink out, and doing so causes the fingers (or at least, my fingers) to cramp up. I switched to a fountain pen over a year ago, and the difference is night to day. No longer do I have to press down on the paper---the ink just flows out of the pen with no pressure required, and it's now a pleasure to write cursive. I also think my handwriting improved just using a fountain pen.
Its unfortunate that those groups exist. But there are many who genuinely want to discover and share knowledge and know how. Research is a slog and it’s hard to quantify how some seemingly esoteric research could benefit humanity.
Framework already makes full schematics available to repair shops under an NDA.

Congrats!

Considering the pretty docs, I'm guessing you're trying to get people to use this. It would be useful to have the value proposition front-and-center (e.g. in your README).

If someone is in the React mainstream, they use React. If they like the devex of React but want something simpler/more streamlined, they use Preact. I'd appreciate a "This is why you might choose this library instead of Preact. This is why this is a new library instead of a patch to Preact. This is an honest assessment of when React/Preact is a better choice than Million." section.

There are often tradeoffs in library development. Being honest about the ones you chose helps other developers trust you.
Well, you never know, because people exploit ambiguity or even just blunder into it. Sometimes people don't even know what they really mean.

Going around saying "you idiot, don't you understand the 'use-mention distinction'?" could itself be considered kind of obtuse. In real life, it is not cut and dry. People muddy the water on purpose as a deniability tactic constantly.

Horizontally scalable data storage is generally available these days (cockroach, tidb, vitess, etc.)

Rearchitecting from unscalable to scalable data storage is notoriously difficult and expensive. Even the most famously competent companies and teams have struggled with that transition and invested millions and millions of dollars on it. Building on unscalable data storage when scalable data storage is readily available feels like planning for failure and making a huge bet that your product or system will never have widespread use.
As mentioned in the original thread, this happened to me with Namecheap as well. I ended up just bought the domain from Cloudflare again. I think anyone could do it at that point.

> CloudFlare sets them to “pendingdelete” status

This isn't an action which a registrar is generally able to perform.

Domains naturally transition to the pending delete status at the end of the redemption grace period (i.e. 1 to 2 months after the domain expires, and at least one month after the domain stops resolving).
