But 80x25 characters being accelerated mattered maybe in 1992, but not in 2022. This is why I mentioned software rendering as well in my response. People were able to play Unreal without GPU at resolutions like 1280x1024 at full framerates, in 1998.

Does this linear frame buffer have some very restricted bandwidth or something? On modern PC's? Don't all graphics card support VESA modes that are more than fast enough for graphics?

EDIT: as rightfully pointed out, in 1998 Unreal was not feasible at that resolution (it was playable in software mode though, and a 450 MHz pentium II existed). But in 2002 it definitely was for that game, which is also 20 years ago.
My general advice on this is to never rely on other people reading your mind. It's a path to frustration for you and the other people.

In this article I see a lot of phrases where OP is hoping other people share the same perspective. Like, "Hopefully we agree that...", "I want to argue here...", "Users... shouldn’t expect..."

It's just not going to happen like that automatically, though.

I suggest that if, as an open source author, you're seeing seeing potential for broad usage of your project, spend some time to think about what you're willing (and able) to give, and make an explicit statement to that effect (and put it somewhere that potential new users will see it).

I suggest that if you're considering using an open source project in something, spend a few minutes to think about what you will do if you get no more support than what is explicitly promised and/or paid for (which means no support in most cases). If that's not acceptable for your project, then don't use it.

(Oh, and sadly, I think this the purpose of this article is a bit hopeless. I think there are thoughtful people that will read this and take it to heart, but those people are probably only causing a tiny fraction of the unpleasantness that open source maintainers experience.)
Kind of scary to imagine the experience of such an average user. "Evil" is not a bad word to describe the attitudes of such apps and services.
Thanks, appreciate it, I'll read through these. I'm pretty convinced this would happen eventually anyway, but then again, it hasn't yet. More than happy for you to pass this on to anyone, and for anyone to come back to me - I'm going to keep knocking on doors anyway until I see it happening!
For example, animal cruelty. Over time people have been choosing to abuse animals less and less, and today many societies have an increasing number of laws protecting animals.

There are lots of other examples. Domestic violence against a spouse, and violence against children, are things that have changed a lot. Things that were once considered normal, like marital rape or beating a misbehaving child, are now socially unacceptable in many societies.

You are right that history tends towards more freedom. But also towards being more moral (which can mean less freedom in a technical sense). Eating less meat would be an example of that, and it is happening today, just slowly. If more of us make the effort, we can speed it up and help save the planet. It really is a choice each of us can make right now!

You are also right that we don't need to just wait on personal choices. That might not be enough. We can also get governments to subsidize plant-based food to make it cheaper than meat, for example.
That is an excuse. Musk should see jail time.
We got caught out by this on a beach vacation. Our infant son was running a fever and ultimately had a febrile seizure, scaring the crap out of us.

We were in the west half of a duplex on East 1st Street, so the address was 123W E First St. I called 911 and in the process sent the first responders to 123 W First St. (Everything turned out okay, but response was delayed by at least 10 minutes. I recommended they change the addresses to 123A and 123B instead of East and West. That was denied.)
Hi there - I actually suggested it to Greg recently too! Would definitely be interesting to do this as we've got the same goals in mind.

I also like the technical blog posts, etc you guys produce.
Using a traffic* lane when there is a bike lane is not necessarily hostility. I'd even argue that it's rarely hostility. It might be that the bike lane is full of potholes, or dirty/icy/full of foliage or debris, so it's uncomfortable or unsafe. Or there could be a lot of parking with potentially opening car doors right next to the bike lane.

* traffic doesn't only consist of cars. Bikes, pedestrians, wheelchairs are also part of traffic.

I don't know about conditions anywhere in the world except the USA. But I've ridden across the USA, on different routes, multiple times.

When bicycle touring in this country, you don't usually (almost never, in my case) do bike touring on roads that carry heavy traffic. You ride on mostly empty roads that have very low traffic counts. Every state compiles Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) statistics. There are roads where you might see one or two cars an hour.

Those are the roads to ride on.
Yes. The trend I have seen is that companies reversed the process when it comes to blocking. They block everything and then open for the traffic they want. Any new or minor ISP is blocked by default.
I've read about determining the "state vector" on the Apollo missions, and I would imagine it's similar for voyager. The ping delay and Doppler shift should be enough to determine 3D position and velocity with respect to some coordinate sysem. I know JPL ( and/or perhaps other agencies like ESA) have a computer model of the solar system where you can run a spacecraft's trajectory forward through time. It can also account for gravitational anomalies if the distance to a planet/moon is close enough where it matters. Assuming they have gravitational anomalies modeled for that body. I'm pretty sure at least Jupiter has a decent anomaly map. In voyagers case, using the sun as a point mass, combined with its state vector at any known time, any undergrad student who knows the vis viva equation can determine voyager's position at any time.
I'm not sure how fast I read, but my SO used to read a lot faster than me. I did some searching online and found a couple of techniques and now I'm slightly faster than my SO. But I, too, find magic in minor word choice, and when I'm reading quickly and encounter something good I slow down and savor it. I re-read it multiple times. I read it aloud. But I'm able to read much faster on average than I did before, and I MUCH prefer it. So don't be afraid you'll lose out on something just because you're reading faster. In fact, you'll be able to read more in the same amount of time, and therefore you'll get to experience more magic.
Easy. You can trust an infinite amount of money to it. No matter what, 1 btc will always be 1 btc.

The relative simplicity is a feature, not a bug. As soon as you add features, you add complexity.
If you're requesting data over a network, ultimately you have to trust someone. Fwiw bunny.net is pretty well respected. I view them as one level "below" the mega-enterprise CDNs like Cloudfront/Akamai, the same way Digital Ocean is one level "below" AWS/GCP/Azure

That’s exactly the point. The few car models that do support grid feed-in require an expensive converter to take DC from the car and deliver AC to the home.
The hardware to do that is just expensive and currently that doesn’t pay off

How good or bad a PhD is depends on the field. I think CS right now is probably a good field to get a PhD in, at least if in a subfield that will get you a job after graduation. I think that's probably the only place getting a PhD would be worthwhile (from a financial perspective), and it may not be that way for long. I've read that economics used to be a field that had good job prospects outside of academia after graduation, but more recently I've read that isn't the case any longer.

I think the incentives in academia tend to lead to overproduction of PhDs in the long-term, as professors are incentivized to produce PhDs but there is no comparable incentive to help PhDs get jobs. Don't be fooled by "I'll write a recommendation letter for you" as that's probably not going to help you get a job. And I do know that NSF requires grant proposals to have a professional development plan, but the plans I've seen tend to be vague and frequently describe things that won't happen.

Keep in mind that you don't need to be in academia to do research. Instead of getting a PhD, I think it would have been better for me to get a real job with real pay for a while, doing research on the side. At some point I'd feel comfortable to switch to a part-time job or stop working for a while so that I could dedicate more time to research. When I was a PhD student, only rarely was I able to give my full attention to my research. I've had a variety of funding: fellowship, grant, teaching assistant, and even self-paid. The only time I was able to focus on my research was when I paid my tuition myself. (When I was on a fellowship, I had classes to distract me.) Grant projects can be hit or miss: If you like the project, it can be good, but if you don't like the project, then it's just a poorly paid job. Teaching assistant positions can require a lot more hours than are implied, unfortunately, and some professors are jerks. If my attention is going to be divided, at least I could get paid decently for it. I do think that by doing research on the side, I would have spent less time on my research, but it still would have been a lot of time over the years.

> The Brexiter and the average Bangladeshi are ideologically on the same ground.

Except you forgot to include the part where Greater Pakistan military overturned the democratically elected Bengali prime minister, so that Bhutto could hold onto power as Bengalis are unfit to lead. You also forgot to mention that Pakistani military killed a million plus Bangladeshis.

Please point out where the EU sent in an army to kill a million Brits.

You make so many bad faith arguments, its really nauseating to sit around correcting all of your Gish Gallops.

3 Basic Rules of Note Taking
Hey, everyone. For those of you who don't know, Outread is simplifying research articles. We take key points and provide digestible summaries of the top research papers from journals like Nature, Science and American Economic Review. We cover a variety of categories including health science, creative science, economy, business and startups etc.
Tools on top of the platform will allow you to get definitions, images and videos for key words and concepts explained in the research paper to help you better understand.

Some of the most disruptive technologies have had their beginnings in research papers. For example, the concept of blockchain was introduced in a paper by Satoshi Nakomoto and the technology behind Alexa was introduced in a paper called 'True Knowledge' by William Tunstall-Pedoe.

And who knows, you might find something revolutionary in one of these research summaries or they could spark an idea for a product!

Why do we want this in the first place?
This is a work of art. I check out different cycle routing options every couple of years and have never been satisfied with the high number of intersections with traffic lights and changes from road to bike path to sidewalk...
Your routing algorithm taking into account Eurovelo routes is an amazing idea. Will test in the coming days!

I suggest you show input validation hints before submitting forms, e.g. for the user name.
Had several friends get deep into speed reading in college, back when Tim Ferris and other self-help gurus in their early days were pushing it as a life hack.

They all abandoned it later when they finally accepted that the learning bottleneck wasn’t their ability to move their eyes across the page as fast as possible.

If you have too much material, pick the specific chapters and subjects you want to read most and start there. Don’t compromise everything just to see it all.
The thing is that you don’t want just the car battery but you want to use the capability of the car to deliver power back to the grid (or your house at any rate).
The rest of the time you want to use the car as a car.
The idea behind it is that you don’t need a separate battery pack at home for the times the grid is over-subscribed.

Easiest way to confirm what value it has is to simply charge for it :)

Look at Sidekiq for inspiration on how to charge for open source.
What is the point of reading fast? It degrades the value you get out of it. Might as well just read some notes or reviews or summaries written by other people.

Obviously reading fast is better than reading slow, but if you're going to read faster than you can think / process the content, I don't think that's useful.
I could define a server but I'm not a dictionary so I won't.

SVN doesn't work peer-to-peer or over email. And that's fine. It's just not ready to go with only local tools.

Of course, you can use GitHub with Subversion just fine, but that wasn't the point. The point was that Subversion alone is never enough if you want to collaborate.
A convincing example. What were the couple techniques that worked for you?
Not OP, but over the last year, I've worked in 4 startups. (A) reached a $100m Series C. (B) had a tech stack that was far too complicated for what it needed which opened my eyes to how badly teams can shoot themselves in the foot with K8s. (C) was at YCombinator graduate that increased their ARR by $1m in the last month. (D) was funded based on a pitch deck and a bunch of former FAANG.

(B) had 200 unique visitors a month and a stack built on Kubernetes with something like 8 microservices. It was running Apollo, Socket.io, and on and on; literally overcomplicating everything...for 200 unique visitors a month. Every single aspect of that system was over-complicated. CTO was part of the problem, but was complicit in letting tech team go wild; many of whom just up and left after playing around with the tech.

(D) on the other hand had the exact problem that OP described: they started going hog wild building multi-layered service-oriented architecture when the system barely has any traffic. Deployment is a pain. Code is copy-pasted everywhere because the alternative is to publish and pull packages and that's a lot of friction. Team can code, but barely understands the tech stack.

(C) built the dumbest architecture I've ever seen. Shit was stapled together. Webhooks were constantly failing due to quota pressure. Their Firestore queries were inefficient and their sloppy migrations led to many broken documents in the store. But guess what? They are actually growing in this economic environment because they solved a real problem without worrying about growth until they actually saw the growth.

(A) built his solution in Angular because that's what he knew and didn't try to jump on React or other hype.

At (C) (the YC startup), I had a conversation with the COO that I'll never forget. We were discussing an architectural decision which would have scalability and stability impact down the line. What he said was to the effect that "We have 10,000 users today and if we lost them all, there are still 7 billion people. We'll find another 10,000". He made it clear that they wouldn't be happy about it, but that it's speed above all else.

> If you are free to choose the absolute best tool you have at your reach, why wouldn't you?

The purpose of a startup isn't to play around with tech: it's to find product-market fit and zero in on the business value. If you think of a startup as a place to play around with tech, you have no place in a startup.

You should almost always choose the "dumbest" possible technology used in the "dumbest" possible way so that you can hire anyone and they can step in and be productive when you need to scale. It minimizes ramp up time. It minimizes deployment and operational complexity. It minimizes the ways the system can fail. Literally build the dumbest thing that solves the core business problem that creates value for the user and then figure it out from there.
I suppose you need to have some idea of how the system is structured to even consider turning certain "features" off.

What do you mean IM channels?
This is basically the story of the history of human beings, and of our close relatives, the chimpanzees. Escaping these (apparently) hard-wired behaviors is what education is for; humans don't have to act like animals. However, this is what humans revert to when education is dismantled, and when group-identity themes are forced on them - tribalism, nationalism, sectarian religious fanaticism, identitarianism, etc.

For example, Machiavellian types have long understood that whipping up religious fervor is a route to political power if they can be the ones who direct that aggression, and this can be applied to any religious organization, and similar in-group based ideological movements as well (communism, fascism).

It's particularly illustrative when a major religion is split by internal divisions and the two groups turn on each other with remarkable levels of savage violence, as with the Protestant-Catholic wars that raged across Europe for several hundred years, or the Sunni-Shia schism in Islam, a conflict that continues to this day and which is characterized by things like suicide bombings targeting mosques and so on. Typically you find the leaders of the various groups are political actors who work hand in hand with the priests/ministers/clerics/rabbis/preachers/ideologues to gain and consolidate political power, which, surprise, leads to the accumulation of wealth on their part. This was also a major justification for colonial European expansion in the Americas and genocidal attacks on native American populations (who, it must be said, also went to war with each other on similar grounds, see the Aztec Empire).

It's basically similar to in-group/out-group conflict in chimpanzee tribes, which is not surprising as chimps and humans share a fairly recent common ancestor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gombe_Chimpanzee_War

During the four-year conflict, all males of the Kahama community were killed, effectively disbanding the community. The victorious Kasakela then expanded into further territory but were later repelled by another community of chimpanzees.

Forcing members of groups who hate each other to work together if they want to survive could be a way of ah, re-educating them... For example, take two such people, put them in a leaky rowboat out in the ocean, give one a paddle and one a bucket, and see if they can make it to shore. If they use their tools to attack each other instead of to cooperate, well... good riddance.

What part of ~14%-17% is 'stark' is hard to understand. Other creator subscription platforms have 20%-30% cut even from the start. He is confusing a creator membership platform with payment processors. Which means that he also is not aware of the below:

Patreon handles all fraud, chargebacks, scams, and on top of that it also handles international tax schemes like EUVAT. Which is a GIGANTIC help for any creator because otherwise you will have to process and file the tax from all those sales one by one yourself or have an accountant do it for you. He seems to have missed that part of the cost. Donorbox seems to be for non-profits, which, I very much doubt the author's writing qualifies as. He may get away with it since he is from India and India may not be cracking on such things yet, but as the international VAT schemes proliferate and India jumps on board, it will be a different story.
