> discontinued: Atom just got discontinued. It's open source. Photoshop on the other hand has withstood the test of time.

But if I want to use Atom I can fork it, or keep the source around. It doesn't go away from my environment until _I_ say it does. And Photoshop has become more and more user hostile over time.

> Audacity's 3.0 update removed a feature I relied on. I wasn't forced to update to it, sure, but proprietary software doesn't force updates either.

It is impossible for libre software to force updates, and quite possible for proprietary software to do so. It's part of what pushed me away from Windows in the first place, and other apps (especially web, but also other stuff) also do so.

> Being able to fix your own bugs is a great part of open source! But not something most professional software developers really expect to do for their IDE.

While it isn't expected, it's definitely a nice-to-have.

> open source formats are probably more resilient than closed source, but I would argue many proprietary formats are also pretty resilient. Code is also based on plain text at it's core, like latex, so it's always going to be pretty resilient.

But with libre software, I don't have to wonder. Even if a project uses an obtuse, obfuscated binary format I know I'll still be able to read it (with a little prep work). With code this is less of an issue - as you note - but you did mention Photoshop earlier, so I'm assuming we're talking about software in general.

> you'll never have a guarantee that a tool you invest time in or money in will be the leading tool in five years.

I don't need it to he leading, I need it to be around and functional. Pretty confident Emacs/(n)vim will be here a couple decades longer at least. I believe this was GP's point - that it's better to worry about what will work best in 10 years, not what's standard now.

Hell of a lot of "ifs" and assertions here. IF you can get a 100k job at age 21 and IF you can save 30% per year (which us a lot) and IF nothing goes wrong with your health, company failing, being laid off, etc etc.

It's highly, highly unrealistic to assume 21 year olds earning 100K AND saving 30% of it, have you met many 21 year olds?

Knowledge of the Y-combinator helps avoid making your language divergent (sometimes desirable), disallowing explicit recursion is not enough! The typed lambda calculus uses static types to prevent the Y-combinator and give a sound logic for proofs.
You're right, these posts assume one knows what the Y combinator is for. Wikipedia has a decent explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_combinator

Key point:

the Y combinator implements simple recursion. In the lambda calculus it is not possible to refer to the definition of a function in a function body. Recursion may only be achieved by passing in a function as a parameter. The Y combinator demonstrates this style of programming.

You don't really need it in modern programming languages that natively support named functions and recursion, but it's an interesting part of the underlying theory of lambda calculus.
I don’t understand how the equation has anything to do with stability, nor finance. They also didn’t define the terms. Is this supposed to be a joke?

Simply put: the flu kills a lot of people each year. We vaccinate as many people as we can every year right before flu season for it because of that. It's not controversial. Believe me, if you've skipped the flu vaccine and had legitimate influenza (and not just a bad cold), you'll never miss a shot again. It's hell. COVID-19 is often much worse than the flu. See where I'm going with this?
The Torah has not been accepting contributions for a long time, but there has been successful Torah fanfiction so you can go that route. Some of that has been so successful it has become its own thing and people write fanfiction for the fanfiction, much like "Fifty Shades of Grey" started off as "Twilight" fanfiction but then became its own thing with its own fanfiction and with fans that might not have read "Twilight".
> this is why phones maybe shouldn't ship with a working OS anyways and make the user supply it instead

I think this goes against the main reason people buy phones from mainstream brands. The reason is the features and ecosystem that come with such devices.

If you are a tinkerer or prefer to install your custom OS, then you'd choose a "foss" device like the pinephone, librem or other.

If you buy a device for convenience, with the expectation that it just works, you buy an iPhone.

If you are somewhat in the middle of that spectrum, you consider an Android device where you trade some convenience with the ability to intervene more deeply with how the device works.

This will be a controversial opinion on HN, but link aggregators, even the ones with comment sections, aren't communities.

Yes, I use a throwaway handle now, because I used a real username here and on Reddit long enough to learn two things:

1) the danger of being doxxed if you say the wrong thing is real and "the community" will ruin your life with glee

2) although I have made numerous valuable relationships online, this has never occurred in a link aggregator comment section

Considering these realities, I think link aggregators lack the repeated exposure to common members (excluding celebrities like dang) to create any real bond between individuals. No community exists because nobody ever gets to know each other.

No, the issue in this case isn't the Fediverse. It's link aggregators.
To a similar point, I think there's at least an argument to be made for an automation tax. But I also think that is politically unpalatable due to the potential impact on economic growth.
Ah, it’s satirical.

If running in kernel mode under Linux, it is debatable whether most separate binary modules can and are effectively organized in a way they can be considered not a derived work of Linux. The only one I've personally seen managing to do that without much doubt was nvidia.
Autopilot crash statistics for last quarter were one crash per 4.97M miles driven.

National average crash statistics for that quarter were one crash per 484K miles driven.

Even if you consider that accidents are 3x less likely to occur on highways and boost that to 1.5M, that is still a multi-times safety factor.

A lot of accidents on highways occur because of aggressive or negligent driving. It's really not hard to beat humans so this shouldn't be a shocking find.

I'm not sure what you mean by "in unsurprising conditions" I turn on autopilot on the entry ramp, and disable it on the exit ramp. I would instead characterize that as "all highway conditions"
Honestly, looking at the censored words in the config.hjson as of oct28 2021, I don't see anything political. Mostly filtering literally racist and sexual slurs in the same way television/radio/the workplace does... Only in 2022 would we be discussing the n word and it's equivalents as politically charged... In my opinion, the words in the slur filter I see are effectively bottom of the barrel for reasonable discourse... If you wrote them in an email at work you'd be terminated quickly...

> Looking closer, GNU grep, git grep, ripgrep all support PCRE. That might be an okay alternative. It would take some time and effort to switch over. I do not know yet whether it would be worth the effort, but getting used to a different syntax that's used by a wide number of tools seems more useful than getting used to a different syntax that's used by a single tool, no matter how useful the tool.

Yes, that's true. You could do that.

I will say though that if you take PCRE, EREs and ripgrep's default regex engine, they all support largely the same syntax. There are differences of course (you've pointed out one already), but they're a lot more alike than they are different.

BREs are the oddball with its escaping rules. But if you know the escaping rules they can be quite useful in a context where most of what you're searching for is a literal with some regex aspects. Vim's default regex syntax is like this for example and it is quite useful in that context.

And yes, grep's tend to have a lot of extensions. So I guess what you're after is "GNU's particular extension of regex syntax." Idk, just seems like if that's what you care most about, then just keep using GNU tooling. Otherwise, ripgrep's default regex engine is very very similar to EREs and other Perl inspired regex syntaxes. Which is intentional.

The \< and \> stuff might be something I implement eventually, but I've always found them strange. YMMV.

I ditched VSCodium for JetBrains Rider and couldn't be happier. On the Mac Rider is miles ahead of Visual Studio (shuddering with revulsion). But no IDE will ever dissuade me from using vim. I just use them for different things.
Gitlab is self-hostable for free and has code review tools very similar if not better than Github. Gitea is more lightweight and has code review built in as well. Both include package repository support. For Gitea you'll need an external integration to get CI/CD support, but Gitlab supports it automatically.

There are tiers of support and feature availability if you want a hosted solution at https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/, though the free version is very similar to Github's free version.

Github hasn't been the only option for source code repos for years now.

> Nothing to do with freedom. People are naturally cheap.

I don't think this is true. Look at bars. I can go to a liquor store and buy alcohol at a fraction of what it costs in a bar and invite my friends over to drink together. Yet, bars which charge a massive markup on the same exact alcohol, do not seem to be in danger of going out of business.

Or look at coffee. You can buy a bag of Starbucks coffee in the grocery store for $10 and it will make many pots of coffee, providing a single individual a cup of coffee a day for 2 weeks or more. Yet, on any given morning you can spot long lines of people eagerly waiting to pay 3 or 4 dollars for a single cup of the exact same coffee they could have made at home for one tenth the cost, that probably would have required less time and effort than going to Starbucks.
This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the article or its author, who switched not because of cost but because of unavoidable telemetry and tracking.

That said, PABXs I worked with have built-in software modems (both POTS and ISDN, needs to be explicitely enabled) with remote management capability and there is also dedicated web portal for management even if device is behind NAT (paid feature). Whether you want to trust hardware/software you have no control of - that's another story. For "big" PABXs partnership between manufacturer and installers usually lasts for years.
Anyone who has copyrighted code in the kernel they're using can sue or a copyright holder can work with an organization like the EFF or Software Freedom Conservancy to sue them.

One of the big things with the Linux kernel is that it's GPLv2 and the GPLv2 doesn't offer an opportunity to come back into compliance. Any violation leads to an automatic termination to all rights. Most of the big kernel developers have said that they won't enforce GPLv2 "death penalty", but there's a lot of Linux developers out there and Linux doesn't have authors assign copyright so there's a huge number of copyright holders.

Yes, it's satire
First, it is not the drug but a persons past experiences (usually some kind of trauma) that drives addictive and destructive behaviour. Opiates just happens to be one of the most effective tools to supress and temporarily deal with said trauma.

Secound, methadone is an awful drug primarily prescribed for it's much longer half-life (compared to diamorphine/heroin). This makes it more convenient for the ones who are tasked with controlling the traumatized persons intake of the medication. Diamorphine is less physically addictive than methadone and features considerably fewer side effects.

Alcohol is more damaging to the body and harder and more risky to quit than diamorphine. This fact is easily overlooked because the drug is so ubiquitous and socially accepted in our culture. The recreational and casual use that we observe in everyday life makes us believe that alcohol is a less dangerous drug.

Alcohol and tobacco are among the hardest drugs we have, it's just that we are so habituated to their use that we falsely believe they are safer, less addictive and easier to quit once physically dependent.

Does it? This isn’t a scientific journal, nor is this a hard science forum. So the expectations that a layman conform to the standards of a field to have a conversation about a fairly esoteric subject is asinine.

I can’t know the top science in every field, so that bars me from discussion, lest I be slammed for having a thought.

This isn’t just anti-science, it’s ignorant of social interactions, and the conversations that lead to greater understanding. You aren’t nearly as smart as you think you are.
The norm outside of the U.S. is that you don't have a massive discontinuity between "dense inner city" and "car dependent wasteland of highway, strip malls, and detached single-family homes surrounded by giant lawns" - if you start at the city center and travel outward you have dense high-rise apartments, which slowly morph into low-rise apartment complexes, which slowly morph into duplexes and triplexes, which slowly morph into somewhat tightly packed SFHs. So, until you get all the way out into farmland, you're always in a place that can be efficiently served by cycling infrastructure and public transportation, which makes them great places to live for children, the elderly and anyone really, and where it's always legal to just open a corner shop to serve the locals.

In East Asia for example, going back millennia, you had Confucian filial piety whereby adults were expected to take care of their aging parents. In pretty much everywhere except white-collar communities in North America and Europe, multi-generational households are pretty standard fare. In a city that has not been bulldozed and hacked up for cars, both kids and the elderly can enjoy a high degree of independence and safety; by contrast in American suburbia, you are essentially trapped in a home, forced to drive a car to travel anywhere. It's no wonder I spent my childhood and teenage years on an Xbox.
