Interesting concept. I’m sure the service will be valuable to people who need it and can afford it.

The pricing page has a notice saying “Use the code FIRSTDRAFT for a free month of the Hobbyist or Basic plan,” but the only plan described on the page when I access it is the Hobbyist plan at $55/month for up to 500 words. Is information about other plans also supposed to appear on that page?

Also, how are you and your contributors dealing with people who are writing in English as a second language? Such writers can benefit from the same kind of higher-level feedback on content, organization, audience awareness, etc. as native-speaker writers, but they also need help with grammar, word choice, cultural assumptions, etc. It’s difficult to provide higher-level support to nonnative writers without also dealing with grammatical and vocabulary issues, but the latter issues can take a lot of the editor’s time.

Knowledge of the writer’s first language is also often helpful for identifying the reasons for grammar and vocabulary issues. Are you making any effort to match your editors to writers based on the editors’ knowledge of non-English languages?

One more point (added later): Have you looked into the one-on-one tutorial model for supporting writers that is used in high-school and university writing centers? Writing centers in educational contexts are typically focused on making people better writers, not just fixing specific texts. This is usually done by the tutor and writer discussing the writer’s text together, with the tutor asking questions as often as making suggestions.

While it’s possible to do tutorials through comments on online documents, it’s much more productive to do it interactively. You might want to look into offering video tutorials between the writer and editor in addition to the Google Docs integration.

I think the distinction is that if the parties involved don't have a contract between them, copyright law applies.

But if there is a contract in place, then copyright law no longer applies, and you instead have to resolve any disputes as if they were violations of a contract.

The difficulty being that the GPL allows anyone to enter into a contract without even consent of the other party, and the contract law courts may not see that as a valid contract.
The issue (per original article) is one of data sovereignty, and I’d identify a sibling concern of adopting open data formats.

If those are sacrosanct, the choice of tools vendor matters far less.
To a layman? No difference at all. Remember that Apple claim to be the saviors of the ignorant.
> Create react app drags in about a million dependencies, and I’ve never met somebody able to make a react app work without it.

I’ve done react “from scratch” with manual configuration of the build toolchain, without a builder or template app (there's a lot of each around, CRA isn't the only one.)

It's not particularly difficult, but there's no payoff (in any real world use case I’ve had so far) for the extra work.
haha neat.

The legal and moral question is one of data sovereignty, not tools vendor. I suggest the GP comment be read with that context in mind.
> Crypto schemes certainly deserve much of the scorn that has been poured on them recently, but the way things are trending with the $US dollar may not be all that much better.

Sure seems like holding dollars was a lot better than holding crypto the last few years, so not sure where you are getting that USD is not much better. Anyways, they're not really comparable since it's pretty clear at this point that crypto isn't a viable medium of exchange even at feature-set level (ignoring the problems with its volatility - everything you can buy with crypto got 66% more expensive in the last 6 months, which is worse than price rises under USD inflation).

But how badly have things been trending with the USD vs other true mediums-of-exchange (i.e. currencies that you can use to pay for normal things, like food, clothes, energy, taxes, etc)?

Seems like not very differently. Inflation, induced by monetary policy, pandemic, and war is affecting all significant medium-of-exchange currencies and economies right now. None of those real currencies is realistically going to take over reserve currency status from USD any time soon.

Can’t provide more information publicly but essentially we changed from a JS-based Shopify storefront to another engine with “old-school” HTML-“first”, very performant storefront and SERP impressions increased by about X10-15 (!) within 2 months.

What is the basis for saying that the kind of pollution you describe is illegal in Libertopia, then? You say that it is, because of NAP. That's a simplistic answer which you now admit isn't necessarily true.

I am exactly not expecting unanimous consensus, which is why statements like "this kind of pollution is illegal in Libertopia [because of NAP]" seem dubious to me.
I would add to this list: convert your template engine to Jinja2. I held out for a long time on this, and now I would not go back. The purist approach ("keep logic out of templates") sounds good, but in practice leads to spaghetti hacks with weird additional template tags to do simple things, a bunch of additional context variables with no meaning, etc.
> The difficulty being that the GPL allows anyone to enter into a contract without even consent of the other party

No, it doesn't. Voluntarily, publicly offering the GPL as license terms is consenting to others accepting that offer.
> the difference is not whether it’s theoretically possible but whether it’s easy and thus widespread. That’s the important distinction and it deserves more careful thought when you’re talking about devices large percentages of the population trust heavily.

Apple can allow sideloading without making it easy. This whole discussion is about whether or not Apple can craft a user experience that carefully balances between permitting users to use a powerful and potentially insecure ability, and carefully warning them against it, warning off those who are not savvy. I believe they can.

> Similarly, this deserves more careful thought: is the difference the color or the fact that one which isn’t controlled by the phone companies is faster, more capable, more secure and cost less for years?

I believe it's self-evident. The appearance of the different UI itself, which clashes against Apple's otherwise uniform design scheme, presents its own inherent psychological friction. Certainly, non-Messages apps come with certain poorer performances in Messages. The way group chats get broken up. The inability to respond to Messages. None of that has anything to do with phones being faster, more capable, or more secure. The difference in of itself is created by the users drawing the distinction in their own minds.

Similarly, I believe if Apple was to curate the sideloading experience, the majority of iPhone users can simply be guided away from that. And it will remain safely the province of developers and power users. Apple is simply too good at crafting user experiences to not be able to do that.
"This side towards enemy'.

Doesn't have to be "safe" / "not dangerous" (a lot of weapons systems are very dangerous in different ways) but it should be predictable, using some reasonably simple mental model.

"Refusing to deploy" might not be a sensible option if your enemy is willing to deploy.

It seems safe to predict that human in the loop systems will be quickly overwhelmed by fully autonomous systems. The tradeoff may end up being having to balance the risk of getting killed by your own systems versus being killed by your enemy's systems, because yours were too "tame".
I guess I've just never had to work with GPL code before, but the complaints essentially only seem to be coming from coders who like this style of open source where you still get to make it kind of a pain in the ass to actually use your software.

I guess you have the right to do this, but it doesn't mesh at all with why I personally contribute (without any expectation of attribution), which is that (much like stack overflow), programmers mostly agreed awhile ago that it's just easier if we all share.

So much of what's wrong with the modern economy comes down to seeking rent on an idea that should just be public knowledge.

Sorry if my viewpoint towards your work is apathetic, but the whole field is already infested with academics who only understand citation as a useful metric. Further, the point remains that anyone with enough money could do this - not just Microsoft (Salesforce has released several models for python competitive with Copilot). Times are changing - maybe don't share code anymore? I imagine in ten-twenty years this whole conversation will seem pretty petty though when your entire program is trivially recreated from its GitHub description without ever needing to have seen it in the first place.
While the one function per file thing is certainly frustrating, I still find numpy to be way more annoying. I think it's api is very inconstent and it's treatment of 1d arrays leads to a huge number of bugs.

I'm not sure what your complaint is about lack of data structures. I recall using classes and structs and maps and cell arrays regularly without issue in matlab.
Since I’ve lived my teen and my adult life in an English speaking country, I find that I tend to think and write in English for concepts that I’ve learned in those times like engineering. Whereas I tend to think and write in Korean for more “primitive” things such as feelings, family and drawing.

The assignments thing probably makes particular sense in engineering disciplines? They’re generally in a pretty well defined context throughout their academic career and often as groups. Just trying to guess at context.

Otherwise I did have a similar feeling in academia studying math. Especially given the general requirement courses. I often wished I could spend more time on certain topics than a course allowed or found entire topics just not taught locally.

Thanks! I stumbled across this post and thought the controller model numbers sounded familiar, but from 3Ware not Broadcom. So I googled a bit and learned that 3Ware was acquired by Broadcom (via LSI).

I still have a few older 3Ware cards that I haven't used in over five years. IMHO they were (and maybe still are) the best hardware RAID solution available, and Linux support was always great.

Sure. I am working on the firmware for a camera. Believe it or not it's a bunch of ruby services coordinated via redis pubsub. But at the core is the main system state which is a service in itself which is the main state machine.

I'd have to accept something like that reputations matter. Whether you're respected in the community. Whether you're a rebel or a straightedge. And whether you're the right kind of rebel...

Man, what if that was true? And then you were told your own reputation doesn't matter. Just be proud.

There is nothing in the GDPR about citizenship. GDPR applies to "data subjects who are in the Union" Art 3(2). So it is the physical location of the person that matters. As a US citizen, if you travel to an EU country on vacation then the GDPR applies to you while you are there.

GDPR also applies to EU based companies for all of their activities - so in addition to limiting US business in the EU, it limits EU businesses in the US.

Could I sell my bandcamp account?

The irony of this is that bandcamp seems to be a far more direct-to-the-artist model than any streaming service (which is why I use it), because it (it's hard to avoid puns here) records which albums I've purchased so that I can listen to them via the app / website or download lossless copies of said albums for my own curated library and to be able to listen to offline. This, however, gives my account a certain value as to the content accessible through it, and therefore my account has some resale value* - but this resale pays nothing to the artist or label or bandcamp; it's much more like a physical item (other than that if bandcamp goes under then it's lost, or if bandcamp don't like their accounts being re-sold it could get terminated due to breach of terms of service or something like that).

* my musical taste means that this resale value is very low and it would be difficult to find a purchaser, but that's beside the point.

aren't we doing this already? When you try to overclock your CPU or GPU it says "if you do this you void your warranty", and that's pretty much it. It's not that simple but it's also not that hard, there's often a pretty big line between trivial modifications or modifications that might fry whatever device you're dealing with.

If there's a gray line it'll come down to some third party judging it but I don't think this is any different from say, verifying an insurance claim.
So let’s take the lottery systems. Most states including mine has been using the same back end for the lottery since 1991. Who is going to write the replacement? Who is going to audit it? How much is it going to cost to replace literally thousand of lottery terminals? And what benefit would it be?

I can’t think of the name of the company now. But there is one company that manage the school lunch programs. Who is going to write the software and you have to replace all of the hardware throughout the state.
The underlying implication turns out to be pretty literal.
From my experience ability to turn equivalences to equlities and vice versa is very usefull. Without this you are ending in setoid hell - intracable mess of isomorphism.

Clearly some quite senior developers there. Makes me wonder if the people hating on state machines have been at the mercy of junior devs or people trying it out for the first time, instead of a well planned state machine by someone with experience.

Full disclosure, I think I wrote my first state machine in around 1996. So yea... Grey hair etc. Also it was a big part of my computer science degree, studied formally, so perhaps that's why I'm biased in favour of them.
I found this a good review of the physical and chemical impact quitting marijuana. https://youtu.be/7u_cm5b1s7Y

I'd argue that the chemical withdrawal effects of marijuana, are nothing compared to habitual smoking, alcohol or other "hard" drug use. But there are still some chemical withdrawal effects.

Personally I've had Minor irritability after not having an edible for a few days if I've been consistently having them nearly daily for few days. But I've also realized this, and moderate use more to only once or twice a week, and only 5-10mg at a time. I've grown to like the feel of 5mg in the evening overall.
