> Wait; I'm not even entitled to software not doing anything blatantly illegal on purpose, or perpetrating a privacy violation without my knowledge and consent?

Exactly! Try to reading through the licenses of the code you pull in, and it'll be evident. Here is a excerpt from the MIT license

> THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED

If the code you randomly pulled down from GitHub puts your computer on fire, you're the only one responsible for that happening.

> Also, "open source" has an even greater focus on getting paid than "free software".

Does it? Which Open Source license has any focus on getting paid at all? You seem to mix up "development/funding model" with "distribution license", where Open Source is the latter, not the former.

> Surely, if people are paid, certain entitlements exist between certain people

Depends on the funding model. Open Collective, Patreon and GitHub Sponsors are all donations, where you donate without any expectations of getting anything at all back.

> E.g. if you use a phone that runs on a Linux kernel, you may be entitled to kernel security updates, at least for a certain support period.

Sure, you probably are, but not from the Linux kernel, but from whoever you bought the phone from/your carrier. This article is about the kind of people write software like the Kernel, not the people who sell your products using FOSS.
I think a little bit differently about that:

There are some duties that apply to people that are open sourcing stuff:

* Don't lie about what it does.
* Don't hack people by smuggling some nasty code into minor version updates.
* Don't leave people vulnerable to third party exposure by not taking care of your private keys.

I am an Open Source dev myself, having about 300 modules on npm. I use it as reputation credit for actually getting jobs that pay good money.

If you are an Open Source dev, you are a "Code Influencer". You have to be straight about what you do. It is the same for normal influencers when they have to declare any paid promotion stuff.
I wish I had Tailscale when I was playing LAN games in college. Spent a lot of time debugging around network issues.
Once you get paid, you and the company are even. Of course one would want as much reasonable employee protection as usual but practical realities dictate that you shouldn't get something for nothing.
They said Wayland is good design because it doesn’t allow this feature.

> I don't want one process to be able to […] see what's displayed on another processes windows
> This writer is really entitled

Yes, but no. They are entitled like you and I, and everyone, is entitled to good products and not being angry when using them. They aren’t especially entitled to the point to use the word as an insult.

Feedly sells ads. So it’s free, but they include ads. They aren’t a charity benevolently putting out the app and everyone should suck it up and be thankful.

Obviously, people can choose not to use it. And they do. Feedly seems to be in a bit of a doom spiral with being worse and worse and driving away more and more users.

It seems to me that they have some expensive to develop but not very useful (eg, AI to detect stuff in feeds) that users don’t find worth $6 but the costs need covering. So their approach is to keep pushing it on users more and more.
Interesting take, I believe you. What is your background on this?
I guess you're right. In 1700, I don't think instant worldwide communication was in anyone's wildest predictions of the future. Or even weapons capable of leveling a city in seconds.

I'll be happy if I get to see a scramble for the solar system thanks to some sort of anti-gravitational device or full dive VR tech (or isekai-as-a-service by Mitsubishi).
I find this helpful and interesting.

But I’m curious if anyone performed an updated study on a more recent batch of cars (2016-2022)?
I measured 157 per minute by stopwatch, so that means ~180 days until this thing hits 8 billion assuming a sustained rate.
It doesn't matter when they're brought to the West to replace the children we didn't have they'll live with the infrastructure that's already here which means having a similar carbon footprint.

They're also relying on us for a lot of aid, I'm not sure if your calculation takes that into account.
you may be right but i think you're doing it wrong
This was my comment re. AWS SSM and Tailscale just a few days ago.

'Installing the agent client side is no more or less tedious than installing the Tailscale client, IMO anyway.

I made two scripts, one in .Net with a GUI for non-devs to grep a server hostname or tag:name in AWS that resolves to an instance ID for SSH or RDP. And another python script doing the same but without the GUI for the dev team. Works a treat.

But you've already explained why it's a little tedious and now I've documented and understood why. Tailscale MagicDNS does all this nonsense for you. Yeah ok thanks for rubber ducking me I see your point now. :)'
By reading the lines and not between them, you could read these two lines: runtime_procPin() and runtime_procUnpin(). With explicit comments that these pause preemption.
I think you may have been quick to invalidate the point you thought I was making?
I think it’s more than that. The quality of a foundational project, like a language, hinges in very large parts on stability and long term decisions. Saying “no” is the primary defense tool here.

It is something that I’ve come to appreciate over the years, but didn’t really get initially. A message like this one gives me great confidence in trusting the project.
I love your optimism. Fusion is only 10-20 years out, after all.
Try Inoreader.
Besides a bevy of rich feature set, Inoreader has sales ONLY on Black Friday, and they usually extend the service by an additional 6 months if you pay yearly. It lacks Feedly's stupid UI. It's functional, fast, and I can zip through hundreds of feeds in no time. My favourite is the IFTTT and Readwise integration baked in.
Alternatively, you can have the complete experience in Vivaldi itself. It comes with the RSS reader and a mail client. Absolute DOPE!
Inoreader allows you to keep track of specific keywords and automatically follow the RSS feeds. I am waiting for a better UI around Vivaldi's RSS reader, and will reevaluate my RSS reader needs close to the end of the subscription period.
They're "going purple" but where is it? I only see black and blue on the page.
Most software development work involves maintaining existing systems, each of these is unique and requires you to learn the details of a particular system and all the tools, libraries, frameworks, etc. used by that system.

It’s is a lot to know and all of us who do it have stories like the ones you tell.
Has node got it figured out.

"Delete node-modules and try again" seems to be all to common in our developer chat system
Do you think there's an opportunity for a new RSS reader to emerge? And be financially successful, without the BS of ads, etc?
This has been on here only 10 days ago? Consensus was roughly the article is bad, the author is either disingenuous or lazy.

> There are some duties that apply to people that are open sourcing stuff:

No, zero duties. The express purpose of Open Source is that I can release code for free to world, and it's your responsibility to figure out if it's what you need. Adding some arbitrary "duties" that people must fulfill to release open source, is something else, and should not be called just "Open Source" as that already has a definition.

If you get hit by any of those points you list, then you're the one responsible for that.

> If you are an Open Source dev, you are a "Code Influencer".

That's mixing up terms. Open Source developers are developers who release Open Source code, that's it. People who try to "influence" the ecosystem one way or another, could be called "code influencers" I guess, but please don't mix them together. One doesn't imply the other.
The only thing to which you are entitled–by definition–is access to the source. It is your responsibility to verify what the source does.

The "getting paid" notion is off-topic and has nothing to do with the source being open. If I provide commercial support for someone and implement a solution using open source software, I am the one providing the support and I have no expectation that the original authors will hold my hand.
I'd prefer chat over voice, frankly. And I'm not an introvert.
I don’t think so. It would just be nagging for other things. I think this is a design philosophy by Feedly and paying just pushes the problem down the road.

I pay for creative cloud and there’s so many ads and pitches for new products. I long for the days where I pirated ps6 and never had any ads (or paid for it too).

> No, I didn't miss the point of the article. I just feel, it is important to note that the proposed style of concurency is available in go

Apart from the TFA covering a particular python lib, I'd like to point out how the Go philosophy worked before. Given:

Situation 1: "the proposed style of concurency is available in go" so let's have a free ride and we can have linters and human reviewers trying to catch all the concurrency bugs faster than contributors are inserting them. /s

Situation 2: the proposed style of concurrency is the only one available in the language.

Approach 2 would make sense.

You can use Feedly simply as a cloud service to store your RSS subscriptions. There's a number of good clients that use it and display a simple feed that you want. For Android, there is FeedMe.
Here it is

> Such a revolutionary time though - to go from biplanes to jet aircraft, radar, computers, mobile phones, etc. - I can't imagine we'll see a similar rate of change.

I think about this, perhaps more than I should. My great-grandmother was born under monarchy, in a mud hut, somewhere along the Danube. When she was 14, she got stolen on a horse by the son of a band of real highwaymen. She and the son built a house by hand (that still exists, modernized). They had no electricity, no cars anywhere around. Her husband traveled for maybe some tens of miles out of town to the nearest towns. Herself, not even that.

The first time she saw a car, it was passing by, and all the children were running after it smelling the fumes; they had no idea what it was or that there was a human inside. It belonged to an industrialist from the nearest city who made a chicken farm in the area.

World wars came and went, biplanes, radar, the transistor... the village was bombarded, and the state became a popular republic, then a socialist one. Industrialization started. The beginning of globalization, cinematography, and mass media. They still had lights only on the main street. She became a sort of accountant for the collectivized farm and raised her sons and granddaughters.

The Berlin wall fell, and the regime changed again. Democracy. She discovered capitalism, global mass production, and consumerism. Post-communist corruption tore down the town and sold it for scraps. By this time, yours truly came, and she went to the city to help my parents while they were studying and working.

Together, we discovered the contemporary world. Quickly traveling to other countries, computers, internet, QR codes, VoIP, HD media, WiFi, social media, mobile devices, global media streaming, mRNA vaccines, and probably so much more that I can't remember now.

God, this post got long, and it teared me up. I've considered not posting, but I will. I'm unsure if I'm terrified or comforted by the thought that I might not live through so much change, though it feels like the world is changing even faster.
It announces a plan. The post says it takes two months.
I'd say that your rules apply to everyone whether or not they are part of an open source community.

Being a closed source dev doesn't make malware morally acceptable. Lying is a complicated thing as everyone does it, but no matter the context, you can't be surprised if you face social consequences for deceiving people. And allowing people to use your stuff for wrongdoing is also going to affect your reputation, in the same way that someone using your Facebook account for bad shit is going to come back to you.

A more interesting discussion would be on the relationship between a volunteer organization and its volunteers, as this post is probably in response to a recognized community contributor.
Depends on the region where your grandma lived, the two villages where my parents grew up (and where my grandparents used to live their entire lives) are almost empty now, especially when it comes to young people. You’d think that everyone fled to the towns/cities, and you’d be correct, but that happened starting with the 1960s and continued for about twenty years. But when we (I’m from Romania) joined the European Union back in 2007 even those cities and towns started to empty out.
Hum…

I _did_ go there and got transported into something straight out of the 90’s , made by a 16-year old boy.

Show HN: Beast – A Build System
Beast is a build system built for speed and power - a tool for all your build needs.
GitHub: https://github.com/GauravDawra/Beast
Docs: https://gauravdawra.github.io/Beast-docs/

As a project grows larger, it becomes difficult to keep track of all the build and compilation procedures that need to be followed. So what should we do???
Not to worry! Beast helps you build your projects with minimal effort and high efficiency, bringing more power to you. In addition, it is super easy to use and syntactically easy to understand, making it suitable for both: beginners and highly experienced programmers.
With its new release: Nimble (v1.1.0), Beast has become much faster and stronger than before. Its build times are now overtaking or matching those of current community standards!!!

In contrast to other such build systems, Beast focusses on both: ease of usability and speed!!!
u are doing exactly what u had to do to get the task done, and learn from mistakes so u work more effeciently
Categories are objects and morphisms with identities and composition, subject to some coherence laws characterizing identities and stating the associativity of composition. Category theory studies categories and related constructions, such as functors, natural transformations, adjunctions, (co)limits, universal properties, etc.

> And yes it has everything to do with AI

No, category theory is not about AI. My training was certainly sufficient for me to refute that connection, and the way you keep referring to my "training" rubs me the wrong way.
Do you have any Prolog background? Inference rules? Armstrong's axioms etc.?
And generally, you can't either vote for or remove a specific minister either.

Like personally I would like if you could, at both national and EU level, but the fact that you can't isn't a specific failure of the EU.
The logo is purple, objectively.
I like the spinning of this: “prophetic”.

A quieter or stagnating germany would make room for the rest of the eu to grow. East Europe is Germany’s largest economic contributor by means of exports. It should have leveraged that and should have played the game of sanctions that germany so loves to play against its own allies, just so that the obvious risks wouldn't be mocked as “prophecies”.

The EU should indeed head for a rude awakening. How did it end up with a corrupt politician such as ursula at its helm? What went wrong and how can we prevent it from happening again? Hint: a more equal and democratic club.
I hadn’t even considered this, this can be used as a modern replacement for hamachi in this particular scenario!
Exactly my thesis. Every programmer should be using an inference / crafting system by now in their daily tasks
Entitled? Kind of? The thing is, RSS reader clients are pretty much a solved problem, and they aren't particularly resource intensive. You can run your own FreshRSS instance for example for free (https://www.felesatra.moe/blog/2022/06/25/easy-freshrss, you do need a domain name though if you want HTTPS, or just run it on your local machine).
Titles like these are on the App store for the original iPad/iPad mini, and there was a short renaissance of the genre on that platform ten years ago.
And it shows. Some of the more impressive and powerful libraries have incredibly ergonomic and clear interfaces, because the language let’s you simply do more with it.

They could just have an “ad” screen like the about screen. Encourage users to check it out or leave it open for a time as a source of support for the product.

I’m guessing the most innocuous is just a banner ad of reasonable size that doesn’t detract too much from usable space.

Or, you know, people could pay for their software.
Web dev is in a state of shit where devs are pushed towards increasingly complex and fragile stacks. The fact that you're learning Vue, micro services, docker and god knows what else just to do front end is sad and doesn't reflect on your competence or ability.

Eventually you will learn this stack but unfortunately be forced to learn a new one fairly soon. That's the real challenge with web dev: are you ready to do old stuff in new ways because trends change so fast?
Wouldn't they trigger the detectors at stores?
> For example, random sentences like "The good news is that math doesn’t really care what some Australians or overpaid programmers at Big Tech think."... There's no context for this, [...]

To me this is funny/entertaining w/o taking focus off the topic.

It is the kind of humor you will find in the UK and northern Europe. Dry, and has at least one level of indirection.

I.e. not someone tripping over something and you hear a laughing track dubbed over that – in case you missed that was meant to be funny.

I generally like when a text about a mentally taxing topic is lightly interspersed with such digressions.

Most of my American friends don't grok them and not seldomly react like you – they consider these rants and not funny.

It's a problem across any number of areas that an incremental improvement of the same percentage becomes less valuable to most of your potential market as the starting point improves, even as the cost of the improvements often goes up.
Yeah. I'm also gonna call BS on the "tanning salon" thing. If all it took was copious amounts of UV to f you up that bad every white man outdoor laborer in the south would look like Keith Richards by age 30. I'm sure it didn't help but if your body looks like it has X years of wear and tear on it it's because you've put X years of wear and tear on it. A dedicated individual is more than capable of doing in one year what a normal person does in 2-3. Back when I was flipping shitbox cars, like $500 shit I'd bought off the kind of people who drive those cars, finding personal paperwork that included the prior owners DOB amongst the trash and thinking to myself "no fuggin way dis bitch dat young" happened like once per five cars. And then you'd take stock of the needles, smokes, etc, etc, and it would all make sense.
> I don't see the benefit of adding another billion people who have to live a life in poverty. If we could give them a good life, sure add more people, but we can't even give the population of earth a good life today so why add more?

One of the most stunning and under appreciated facts about the last two centuries is that, no matter how you measure it, the absolute number of people living in poverty has decreased even as population increased. Innovation is amazing.
Thanks for the find! This was one of the first adventure games I laid my hands on as a young boy. Lent it from a neighbour and it immediately captured me. One of the aspects that were most intrigueing to me, was, that compared to other PaC-adventures that I had played, there were several situations, in which George could actually die. This gave the game a dynamic and immersion, that I hadn't experienced before. Which was, of course, partly due to the game selection I had played before.
Nevertheless, I am glad to be reminded of this gem!

8 billion is too many to also take the luxury of keeping and feeding billions of animals. If we had 10x fewer people and kept 10x fewer cattle (and more generally, consumed 10x fewer resources), the environment would be doing just fine. But it’s not doing fine, and that’s why 8 billion is too many.
Also the gddr6x that’s used on the higher end ampere cards (3070ti and above) are known to get really hot

My favorite approach for finding important files is to look at which files have the most number of changes in the source control. At least with Perforce this is very easy. The files that have many changes are ones where important logic happens. Ones that don't change much are boilerplate, low level object definitions, etc.
That’s kind of a strange and rude thing to say… Don’t yuck his yum.
