RSS is something I really want to use, but so far I've not been able to find a single piece of software that handles RSS that doesn't suck. I want to add a bunch of RSS feeds, and then have the software notify me - or at least highlight - when related "tags" or words are used, as well as be able to see "everything". But I guess RSS is about to die out anyways, as more and more news sites only allow you to read the first few lines of an article before having to visit their site.
It depends on your definition of contribute. You aren't entitled to have your PR merged to the main project, but you are entitled to fork the project and make your changes over there. The first is contributing directly to the project, while the second is contributing to open source at large. I believe the author was referring to project specific contributions.
No. That comment isn't really addressed at you; it's addressed at our readers. It's just that people with your parochial (in the literal sense) educational background (which I can infer clearly from your comments) habitually accuse others of ignorance, from a position of relative ignorance. I don't think this is a moral failing on your part or anything; it's just something we see all the time, and eventually you kind of just have to find it funny. Once you identify this response as a component of the state-secular-education-instilled memetic defense mechanism, it's funny to see its (frequently ironic) activation.
I would also not recommend because of overall support

For example, does these support AVX? Newer software might require it, even if it works fine for 99% of the stuff you do elsewhere

If you want to get used stuff then get some 2/3 yr old laptop.

How does it get to this stage where someone has to write up a hostile post to get across this point? Have the maintainers been too nice/polite and/or accommodating and now resent it in face of requests they can't fulfill (and the backlash it may have caused)?

I'm genuinely puzzled as to why bluntly refusing a feature, contribution, etc they didn't like hasn't worked for them. It's worked just fine for my limited experience in maintaining FOSS projects. Perhaps there is a scale aspect that I'm missing here.

Can’t tell if you’re joking. Discrimination means treating people differently based on who or what they are they are; “shielding” is discrimination. Elder abuse is its own thing that should probably be handled separately.

This is becoming a pointless meta, but the parent comment didn't indicate in any way that I was talking to a "professor". The comment said, great that there are more languages with GC. I disagree whoever may say that.

I'm not a "professor" but as a software engineer with 35 years in this industry I can say that new languages should avoid GC's (as in, generational and related) and stick to either ARC or Rust-like compile-time memory management.

Just because the original comment is by, let's say, a prominent figure, doesn't make it right.

P.S. I rarely downvote out of disagreement, only for comment quality.

>So, many of us are worried that roosters are coming home to roost.

According to Keynes a recession only happens when the interest rate on financial capital exceeds the maximum yield of physical capital. That implies that if the interest rate is set properly, then you would expect economic recessions to never happen. Economic cycles are equivalent to oscillations in control theory and those are usually a sign that you are doing something wrong.

The expectation that when things are too good then something bad must eventually happen is completely misguided and can at best be explained by having a medium of exchange that is incapable of conducting in some transactions that humans would like to engage in and are currently engaging in.

Barter is unable to represent a lot of useful transactions. Money without credit is unable to represent a lot of useful transactions. Money with credit is unable to represent a lot of transactions. The next stage is money with credit and inflation is able to represent more transactions than without inflation and so on.

This means that if anyone tells you to go back and adopt a system that allows less transactions they mistakenly believe that the transactions you have conducted are somehow sinful/immoral or simply shouldn't happen and hence adopting their system will require undoing a lot of transactions which they consider akin to divine punishment for going against the laws of their preferred money system.

It is particularly common with Austrian economists who insist on going back to gold currency. However, because gold is unable to conduct a lot of transactions that we today take for granted, all the growth that happened because we abandoned gold shouldn't have happened according to them and we must now pay for going against the gold standard.

It is complete nonsense. If demurrage currency sits at the apex of representing the most transactions then it is entirely plausible that this economic cycle and crisis crap was pointless and inefficient nonsense to begin with and that booms and busts should only ever occur due to the real business cycle theory which as it stands only explains a subset of all recessions and not most of them because it is about external economic shocks in e.g. oil and gas prices for example.
That is a good system if you spend most of your time in the same general area/climate.

I live in a warm climate and have managed to transition to doing very little business travel anymore. But when I go someplace where it's too cold to wear shorts and t-shirt (or where I just want to wear something slightly more business appropriate) I often have to pack things that I might not have worn for a year or more.
I <3 my refurbished Thinkstation P500. Solid well-designed case, 4 Xeon cores, nVidia Kepler, 2x SSD, and 64GB ECC RAM for less than the cost of new 64GB ECC. Not as fast or power-efficient as a new workstation, but nothing new had to be manufactured!

I don't undersand what changes (besides the duration of the mortgage) I have no idea how the UK laws work, but in Italy the mortgage repayment is passed on to heirs, it is a debt like any other one.

It is a common enough scenario when someone dies prematurely even with "usual" 15-20-25 years mortgages.
I have been using an HP z440 for years as my work machine. It’s fine, performance-wise, and definitely for running a browser, video conferencing, and terminal emulators.

One downside of workstation machines is that everything seems to be custom, even mundane things like fan connectors. See https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2021-08-28-silent-hp-z44... for my experience with swapping the fans against quieter models.
I use an old 2013 Xeon Workstation as daily driver and have been very happy with it.

It came with 32 Gigs of cosmic-radiation-shielded RAM, two 16 core processers (1.9 GHZ, granted), and all the peripheral ports I could need. I slapped an old 2016 Nvidia graphics card into it and its been able to do all that I can need and more. Considering I got it for free, it's a great deal.

I would easily have paid $200 for this machine though - I can run a dedicated ubuntu VM with 8GB RAM alongside 100+ chrome browsers no problem.

I equate it to semi-truck cab, as compared to sports-cars of the consumer desktop market. It's not that fast and it gets a bit lower gas mileage (electricity consumption), but it can haul 10 tons of cargo.

I think we actually are. The main difference between the current state-secular religion and, say, progressive quakerism, is that state-secularism doesn't have an identifiable God. But this is, it turns out, a pretty minor difference in practice (and it's state-secularism's primary competitive advantage in the modern legal environment).
I’ve said it before: “entitlement” goes both ways. Treating users of your software like the enemy is no way to behave, whether it’s open source or not. If you don’t like your users - maybe it’s time to take a break from software development?
Same here, it's actually one of the reasons I am looking to move to Canada now.

Our country has been mismanaged in this regard to a point where I don't see this being solved in the next 20 years, also ideologically the majority does think low energy prices are bad now, so don't event want this fixed.
Northern California is not much different. It actually makes most plug in hybrids cheaper to run on gas than electric at around $3.50 a gallon and below.

> 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?

Tor is an open source project and I very well expect that, in some jurisdictions, what Tor is explicitly trying to do... on purpose... would be considered illegal. I expect that the people running the Tor Project know that. I could even speculate that some Tor Project team members are hopeful that their effort facilitates private communication in the very places where such communication is likely to run most afoul of the law. Worse than that, laws are often ambiguous, fuzzy, and contradictory within a jurisdiction, let alone between different jurisdictions.

So what does that mean to the entitlement that open source software does nothing blatantly illegal? I guess you can claim it, but I wouldn't expect much to come of it even assuming the project is being run with good intentions, nor would I count on it matching my expectations for same. I think it's better to not only discount legality as an entitlement, but not even hold it as an expectation. Legality is a decision point for the potential user, not a user entitlement the developers are duty bound to deliver to any one user.

Yes, this is called WYSIWYS (what you see is what you sign) and I suffer whenever I receive a confirmation code saying absolutely nothing. However, when _you_ write the code to some trusted web app, there is that context, at least. But reading the code to some random person on the phone? No way!

I view human life as an inherently good thing to have more of — and certainly a higher priority than nebulous problems like “pollution”. You also didn’t give any reason why we should care about “pollution” more than human life.

Human life is beautiful and good.
Side topic, I think the question "give me an example of when you resolved a difficult challenge at work" and the like is the most bullshit part of job interviews.

Bullshit questions get bullshit answers. Majority of people bullshit their answers on that type of questions. Pretty much majority of the job interview coach tells us to bullshit anyway, or embellish our mini accomplishments to the point it is not distinguishable from bullshit, and say "hey it is not lying". Sure, but the answer is worthless anyway and don't tell anything about a candidate.

I don’t think it’s entitled at all to expect things to not suck regardless of whether they’re free or require payment. Truly good products make you want to pay to receive a carrot, bad ones to avoid a stick. The only carrots Feedly has to offer are all moldy and gross, so they’ve resorted to more and more sticks.

The author also did exactly what you want by switching to NetNewsWire, so I don’t know what you’re complaining about other than that they made a blog post explaining that decision.
Mewe.com isn't on that list.
Probably not fixed rate.

Every country hates on its poor in different ways: in the USA it’s the lack of healthcare, in the Uk the lack of long term fixed rate mortgages.
>Why not look at actual data, which is likely to tell you that crime has plunged everywhere since the 80s.

Overall yes, but not everywhere in my opinion. Many places got safer, but some places got much worse

edit: added "Yes, but" for clarification.
I disagree about FastAPI in this list of frameworks. Django and Flask have great documentation, FastAPI does not. There is no API reference for FastAPI, so often you will have to read the source code to understand what options are available and how to use them. Also the FastAPI explanation about concurrency (https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/async/#concurrent-burgers) is terrible. It's filled with emojis and seems to be written for children.
> The only people entitled to say how open source 'ought' to work are people who run projects, and the scope of their entitlement extends only to their own projects.

Yet, you believe you are entitled to say how all of open source 'ought' to work. Does it refer to everyone but you?

I have a habit of ignoring "tone" in discussions on relatively intelligent message boards because I think most of the people I'm talking to can handle it, and it makes the discussion vastly more likely to transmit valuable information.

I'm not trying to police the topic of your commentary; I'm just not letting you swap out "liberalism and pluralism" with "classical liberalism, the scientific method, liberal arts, music, pedagogy, statistics". I don't know if you did this intentionally or subconsciously, but this is an extremely common (and dishonest) rhetorical strategy used by your religion. Don't expect me to let it slide.
Not OP but once a spammer called me when some long stuff had just started building and I was just sitting there watching the logs, fixing some random stuff on the fly, rebuilding and so on. I stayed with them on the phone for something like 40 minutes, after a while they started getting more "violent" until they abruptly hung up when it was crystal clear I was pranking them.
It's a typical pattern that I've seen in FOSS projects over the last decades. Somebody writes something cool, publishes it, is initially happy about adoption and positive feedback, and then people start to demand more and more of them. Fix this thing, add that thing, here is my code, when are you finally going to merge it, why are you not responding, you are not respectful of me, etc. etc. Then a mix of burnout and resentment happens and the more bold ones issue such a statement. Others just abandon their project and are never seen again.

It's very sad, and it's rooted in a basic misconception of what FOSS actually is. That's why such posts are important to educate people, even if it sounds drastic.

Terrific. Some really great ergonomic features. After a quick scan:

--

Invoking methods with tuples. https://github.com/titzer/virgil/blob/master/doc/tutorial/Tu...

Just terrific. Similarly, I've wondered about the symmetry of maps (dictionaries) and named parameters, and the potential to invoke methods with maps.

--

"Functions are contravariant in their parameter type and covariant in their return type" https://github.com/titzer/virgil/blob/master/doc/tutorial/Va...

Terrific. This "hole" in language design has always frustrated me. As a noob, I've been wondering:

Do covariant return types resolve "the expression problem"? Thereby reducing the number of 'instanceof' type checks? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression_problem

Do covariant return types moot the need for using double dispatch when implementing Visitor (for statically typed languages)? If so, that'd close at least one ergonomic gap between dynamic and static languages.

Whinging:

Virgil is practical. It uses modern techniques to address programmer's actual needs.

I love both functional and imperative programming. Separately. I do not want multiparadigm. I do not want metaprogramming in my bog standard data processing code. I do not want exquisite puzzle boxes (inspired by Haskell and ML).

For most of my code (done in anger), I want data centric, I want composition, I want static typing. To noob me, it appears Virgil is on the right path.

For just one example, Java jumped the shark. Specifically annotations, optionals, and lambdas. (I grudgingly accept the rationale behind type erasure for generics; it was a different time, when backward compatibility reigned supreme.)

We need features, often syntactic sugar, for the 98% of our daily work. String intrinsics (finally!), intrinsic regex expressions, intrinsic null-safe path expressions (not LINQ), tuples, multiple return values (destructuring), etc.

I want concision without magic.

In Java's defense, specifically, I love many of the JEPs of the last decade. Project Loom is a game changer. Switch expressions are great. Ditto values types and records. (There's more, but you get the idea.)

Also, project Zig embraces the practicality vibe. And shout out to D language.
A lot of people follow the mentality that because something is free that it means no criticism or improvement or expectation is valid.

That is disingenuous because there are competitive forces just as much as a payment based system. Most things we like about open source are a direct result of that.

People compete for personal clout, for community clout, future employment status, future business partnerships
We have done this for workstation refreshes (Windows 10) and it works marvelously.

Reliability has been fantastic. We keep 2 machines as spares for parts and have experienced an issue with one power supply.

PC Health Check reports it doesn't support secure boot, no TPM 2.0 and the CPU isn't supported. We haven't tried to install Windows 11.

I started using liferea a few months ago, primarily to track YT channels without YT (so to speak). It can do some version of everything you've mentioned, though is weak on the automatic tag notification thing (though for the feeds I follow, that makes sense, since they are mostly video).
Love it. Just before my grandmother died (89), I asked her what the biggest change was on the planet in her lifetime. She was silent for a moment and then gleefully blurted out "PLASTICS!".

She explained that when she was a girl "everything was made of something and someone knew how to do it". Now everything is just plastic.
I mean people's feelings. See my reply to Brendinoo for my position on that in more detail.
Did you read what you quoted?
IME, that’s not quite true. Like with UI extensions, it depends entirely on a site’s willingness to adhere to interoperability standards, and some are structured in a way that disrupts reader mode.

Good advice in general though.
It kinda does but there's a lot of boilerplate that goes in before we actually get to the app logic. And, understandably, there's no structure provided by the Go stdlib.
Once I made many projects with just using stdlib, I started taking common packages out. And Copper is essentially that. I can start writing my app code with minimal setup / boilerplate.
I'm referring to you personally, but also a number of our mutual readers.
