I keep seeing this claim that open source maintainers shouldn't be upset about a 3rd party mandating we increase our maintenance burden to follow their new rules, because it's all about responsibility.

But I also see people claiming that it's not OK for the UK to require an increased maintenance burden for the same reason: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32055756

I think we need to accept that it's not a simple matter of responsibility. It's a question of how much maintenance burden is OK to mandate. The claim that open source maintainers should be fine with this increased burden because "responsibility" is not logically sound.

Also, the idea that there's no problem, because OS maintainers can just remove their package from pypi, totally ignores the point that that would be a really bad outcome for everyone that uses that package. I this that's actually a pretty big problem.
I don't understand why this is up for debate.

The Atomicwrites maintainer/author has been using PyPIs servers and infrastructure to host and serve his project for free.

PyPI have no responsibility to do that, and that maintainer has always been free to publish his project himself. Instead the Atomicwrites maintainer doesn't want to do that, what they want is to be able to exploit someone else's infrastructure, and they want free rein on that infrastructure despite, again not paying a cent for that infrastructure. There is a weird belief that PyPI is the side of this equation that is exploiting the maintainer - by requiring literally the bare minimum of modern security - and not the Atomicwrites author exploiting the PyPI infrastructure to host their project.

Anyone arguing that PyPI is not allowed to make any demands of someone using their infrastructure, for free, because that is somehow unreasonable, is delusional. It's no different than having your own project, and someone push a PR, and you being required to take the change - after all they gave it to you for free.
Look at the bigger picture: given the data is open, if you wanted a solid depiction of what colour best represents "poop" you could average those results.
It surely is, but I believe it has less to do with sense of taste. There's a very weird, intangible correlation between smoking (and afaik, drinking) and favouring salty food. Not as in, a little bit saltier just to taste it, but actually salty. There's a few studies around with inconclusive results but they usually always reach the conclusion that salt/sodium intake is dramatically higher in smokers and/or drinkers, but no further conclusions as to which other factors come into play besides nicotine reducing the ion current mediated by the epithelial sodium channel. Although, admittedly, I didn't look further since because I stopped smoking anyway.
This is not true though. You pay premium for cash USD in Russia, but that premium is within 8-10%. Not that far from official rate compared to what one could expect.

Edit: also, 80% export rule was lifted recently
Whilst I support nuclear power, it's not the main issue, but the lack of progress in electrification of industry and homes.

A lot of processes and heating still use natural gas directly, and that is what is causing the threat of industrial shutdowns.

Many countries have already switched to coal for electricity generation - https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/netherlands-activate...
Yeah, agreed, almost all of Strange New Worlds was great -- especially for a first season. I didn't like the fairy tale episode, but even that wasn't as bad as some low-points of otherwise-good Star Trek series (e.g. Lwaxana Troi episodes of TNG, ugh).
You might want to look at a unique partial index: "CREATE UNIQUE INDEX foo ON users(facebook_id) WHERE facebook_id IS NOT NULL".

I am not sure if this really is a great modelling. If a user happens to have two logins in your table (maybe they signed up with two different emails), and then connects one of his accounts with his FB identity, what does it mean that the other entry cannot be connected to the FB identity?
Except that our social safety nets are practically non-existent. I bet if you made a middle-class comparison where you took a bunch of the typical EU social benefits, and equated the private costs middle class Americans pay to take care of them privately (healthcare, especially for a family, care of elder relatives, how much they'll need to save up to put their kids in college and retire even meagerly on their private income, etc)... I bet the Americans come out on the losing end of it on average.
I would suggest a mindset like Ripley's while trying to battle the mother alien - "still lucky, not dead yet". Once the realization of one's imminent mortality like Ripley or after stroke where half of the body is paralysed, one becomes appreciative of all the "luck" and grace life bestowed. I would suggest OP try volunteer in VA or hospitals, hospice or homeless shelters, etc. I'm still lucky, not dead yet.
Q&A with Hardware Hacker Joe Grand
> As a person, if you make the claim in the absence of a conviction you'll run into serious legal problems.

No, you won't. Heck, as a person, you can make the same claim in court and win a sizable payout based on it with evidence insufficient for a criminal conviction, even if the elements required for civil liability are identical to those for the crime, because the standard of evidence in a civil case is preponderance of the evidence, not beyond a reasonable doubt like a criminal conviction.

The high burden of proof required for criminal conviction specifically exists as a narrow purpose failsafe that doesn't apply in other contexts even within the criminal justice system.
Lol I'm also addicted to YT (not proud of it, but the amount of well-produced, solid educational content makes it a hard habit to kick).

I think TT's algorithm is the strongest selling point. Vine had even shorter content and even faster dopamine hits but ultimately died (I can't recall if Music.ly died or was absorbed before it met a natural fate). I can't speak towards monetization but I hazard that TT creators still make most of their money from sponsorships (like twitch and YT) based on that one Hype House thing. That said, the algorithm might be a bit overstated in its strength. Put enough creators together on the same place all trying to be relatable, add in the fact that people are going through dozens if not hundreds of videos at a time, you're bound to yield several hits. In this sense, I think TT is successful not directly because of its format, but in that it's achieved a critical mass because of its format, and that critical mass allows it to easily perpetuate itself.

I think the parasocial relationships aren't "better", except that TT is "better" than Twitch and YT because it's harder to develop these parasocial relationships. Maybe your theory about phone cameras is correct, but I think what's absent is that sense of _address_. On YT, creators will often call their viewers under some aggregate nickname, or make direct references to their audience in a way that invites closeness. Combine this with frequent references to their fanbases as "communities" and I think that YT and Twitch have developed something of a cultural illusion that TT has not yet developed (again, mostly second-hand as I no longer frequent the platform). Again, this remains to be seen, but I lean towards seeing IG as the model here: where you can have similarly frequent posts, cellphone livestreams, and videos (and now shorts). However, since IG is usually not criticized as heavily for parasocial relationships as YT and Twitch, I really think that the difference maker is the systems of address and sense of community that, at the very least, has not fully developed on TT.
This is futile. There's these services called VPN's that let me exit my traffic into the US.
interesting fact - Ukraine in the middle of war now sells electricity for profit to Europe because they haven’t completely abandoned nuclear. This is even despite the fact of them losing their largest nuclear plant (in Zaporizhja) to russia.

Germany’s decision to abandon nuclear is one of the most stupid ones ever.
> The 2FA nonsense does basically nothing in practice (vetting will not and should not magically go away), and only adds an undue burden on developers.

This is true, but to play devil's advocate, how many HN articles have we seen where X critical NPM package had been compromised by a malicious user who gained control of the package maintainer's account? There are many examples of this. If a new package deployment system were to launch in 2022, I wouldn't be surprised if 2FA was required for all publicly listed packages, full stop, not just critical ones. Viewed through that lens, it really isn't that unreasonable.

That said, I think full power should be in the hands of the developers who maintain these packages when it comes to the actual content of the packages. Package systems should not be editorializing. If the author of [insert major package here] wants to upgrade a version that replaces the whole package with a console animation of a turtle, that's his/her choice as a developer, and simply should be viewed as a "breaking change". Intervening in THOSE scenarios I view as completely out of control on the part of package ecosystems. Let people leverage their creations however they like. Your trust is supposed to be in the maintainer. If they aren't trustworthy, you shouldn't use their software in the first place. If they decide to go in a new, breaking direction, that's their decision. Caveat emptor.

These scenarios though, are starkly different from scenarios where the package maintainer's own intent is subverted by a malicious hacker / user. That's a whole other can of worms, and I agree we need better controls to protect all packages from these types of scenarios.
And Euro was introduced in 1999.
Lots of good advice in other comments, but a couple things I didn't see already that I will point out:
Your work from home situation might be too isolating. Asking to move to more contact with others might give you more satisfaction, or at least convince you DON'T want that and make you happier when you move back.

Sometimes just starting something new helps. I changed jobs last year after a successful decade+ run at my old job. My boss, trying to retain me said "you know there will be problems over there, too." My response was "yes, but at least they'll be new problems."

I think it is harder to choose between good choices for yourself then bad choices - choosing between a day taking the kids to the zoo versus making a significant work accomplishment is hard, you constantly wonder what you gave up to commit to the choice you did. Choosing between having to do an 8h drive in Arizona with no air conditioning versus having to go 3 days without food is easy - you don't look back at the end and wonder if you made the right choice, you know they were both miserable. It helps to get comfortable with owning your decisions - For example, I choose to spend more time with my kids because that's what I believe is right based on the information I have now. Being able to saw "I don't love this job, but I choose it because it empowers me to do other things" is empowering and helps me be more content overall.
You can specify types in Common Lisp just fine if you so desire: https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/type.html
One of the heaviest part of their grading is just the opinions of academics. They just send a survey out and ask academics to rank universities. Of course they end up reproducing and reinforcing the existing rankings as always.
We can all choose the games we wish to play. Just don't take them seriously.
France, Italy and Germany’s economic comfort is absolutely meaningless in the face of what Russia is doing. You haven’t figured out the fact that peace with Russia is a country being invaded, looted, with thousands murdered, war crimes and abuses? But wait there’s more, a few years later the Russians do it again.
Because that doesn't use the GCC frontend interface, requiring build tools and embedded toolchains to be modified to understand the rust compiler interface. By using GCC it's just another language that the existing toolchain can understand.
Shouldn't the repelling nature of electrons make this completely different from regular fluid flow?
But someone looking for a good chemical engineering school won't look in the computer science ranking table, no?
> it did the work the DOJ needed it to do.

Certainly. And no wonder that the other charges from the Maryland District were dismissed.

> he was indicted for it, twice, in the SDNY case.

You mean, he was charged and found guilty of "Murder-For-Hire"? This I don't follow. I thought overt acts serve the purpose of evidence for the charges/counts rather than being charges itself.

In any case, DPR clearly concluded, that paying someone to kill someone else in order to preserve his anonymity/enterprise was OK. He even committed it.
That is interesting because I found War and Peace the easiest to go through.

Though it might be because I actually found his materialistic approach to history very interesting and his views an leadership extremely valuable. So I am one of the few that actually enjoyed all the rambling about how much Napoleon sucked.

It is one of the few books that made a lasting impression on my worldview. I wish more management type people would read it. It just so exhausting to work with people that see leadership as some ego trip. A good leader's job is to simply enable the people to do their job.

Funny enough I don't remember much about the actual characters. Really need to read it again some other time. AK was a bit more difficult for me as it is more story-driven and a bit more subtle with it themes.
I entered “lisp compiler” and it offered me, among many others, “brainfuckteeth.com”. I can just imagine going to a VC with that proposed name. (It also offered “lisperl.com”, so I guess it knows that Lisp is a programming language.)
FBReader is cross-platform and I believe it sync's the way you want.
In finland you are also required to pay for public health care. But employers are also required to provide private healthcare for workers. Vey nice to pay for both public and private healthcare on top of insane income taxes.

Estonia seems like a tax haven in comparison.
Honestly it's still up in the air right now. I have glucose snacks on hand, I try to monitor how often I eat and not let it go too long, but my Hb a1c is still low and I'm still bothered once or twice a day at least. It's only maybe once a week that it gets bad enough to be super bothersome like you say, basically a panic attack.

I tried keto but it was difficult to get the variety, especially (as you say) when you're intensely craving sugar. It obviously solved the problem but was really challenging to continue, so I only lasted a couple weeks.

Joke's on us, NASA paid a lot of money for this music loop and they're gonna get their money's worth
Infineon and ASML are chopped liver too apparently?
A lot of us did that. I have a feeling that it hasn't made much difference to Sony though.
AFAIK (from messing with getting Linux to authenticate against a university AD system a few years ago) the best-supported way of replicating AD in Linux is FreeIPA on RHEL, since everybody less corporate is probably going to use a less corporate protocol

But Windows Server is IMO Microsoft's killer product. It's very good at what it does, although using it with Linux clients you'll be missing out on large parts of its functionality like GPOs, WSUS, etc
The CAD/USD pair would be a counterexample to your theory. Our economies are pretty strongly linked, and usually CAD is about .75 USD, but it's gone as low as .60 and as high as 1.05 (although interestingly it almost always heads back down if it hits 1.0).
#49 now. I guess it's harder to game the system past certain threshold
I find these accusations quite interesting. There’s 150+ comments, most thoroughly following what’s the official EU/US stance and there’s probably less than 5 people here slightly diverging from that, without even supporting Russia. And then there’s two callous, but in the real world probably quite wide-spread opinion comments from this guy.

And the inevitable conclusion’s that HN was infiltrated by the Russians.

In the rush to identify and expose enemy propaganda you don’t even stop to think that the most dangerous propoaganda is the one from our own governments, which are steering us to an economic catastrophe after declaring economic war on their main energy supplier without first securing an alternative.

This framing by EU/US media and politicians is so shockingly efficient that most people on the internet at least can’t even concieve of anything else than full support, more money and more weapons for Ukraine and more sanctiona against Russia.

Winter will be very interesting indeed. We may get to see what happens when the EU moral superpower collides with the amoral reality.
My two cents (as someone who definitely does not have all the answers, but is learning as I get older):

1) Know that this is a completely normal feeling, especially in more individualistic/atomized cultures where status competitions are more pronounced.

2) YOU have the answer to your question, it's just a matter of uncovering it. I would recommend writing/journaling. Spend a lot of quiet time exploring your thoughts, and asking probing questions of yourself. "Why do I want to do more? What do I think will happen once I do those projects? How will that feel? etc." If I were to guess, some of the story may be around the drive for increased social status. But I can only speculate.

3) Remember you are a human with a physical body/needs, stay attuned to it. Move your body, exercise, go outside and breathe in fresh air, eat well, play with your kids/family/friends. Working remote and on a computer is incredibly convenient, but sometimes it removes our attention from the physical world.

4) Be BIG in your very SMALL world, forget about trying to be BIG in the BIG world - If there's any part of you that thinks about how what you accomplish looks to others and how it'll reflect on your relative status/legacy, I'd recommend making your world smaller/more local. The internet/media shows us what outliers are doing all around the world at all times, and it can make whatever we're doing feel so miniscule in comparison. You'll never 'Win' the global status games, nobody can really. Focus on your very small part of the world, your family, your friends, your local community. How can you be the best parent/spouse/neighbor to them? Being good here has the highest ROI once you've let go of the global status games (which you'll be forced to let go of at some point). For creative projects - what will bring YOU or those closest to you joy? Forget about thinking about how anything you build will scale broadly/globally.
I think Stanford is viewed as having eclipsed Yale and is competitive with Harvard. Princeton probably also eclipses Yale.
Talk about generalising. How is gluten-free unhealthy in the long term. Do you actually believe that wheat in particular is required for health?

Just above you said a diet needs to be nutritionally complete. Low carb, keto, gluten free, hell even low fat can be nutritionally complete and satisfying, though the latter one will not feel really good in the long term.
> We will begin shortly...

Lies.
Yeah, it would be great if Putin withdrew from the war so countries could consider something like that, but...
Agree with most of this. Although to be fair the social safety net is not as weak in the US as most people think, either. The majority of the Federal government's budget goes to Medicare and Social Security, the main gap is just that for working-aged people there is no universal healthcare in the US.

Not sure what you mean by the last point, though, it kind of conflicts with your first point. And in e.g. France the capital gains rate is 19% I believe vs 20% in the US. Various countries in Europe have experimented with a wealth tax, but they've now all gotten rid of it. In what ways are the very wealthy taxed heavier in the EU?
I don't get this, so they take over another country near their border. What is the objective downside for the rest of the world and the people affected? We already don't care enough to "help" the Russian people, so why care about adding more of them into the fold? If we really cared and if we thought their suffering was worth the price to pay, we would be invading Russia and Ukraine right now to "liberate" the people. Instead we're weighing up the cost of people's lives and playing word games, perpetually.
If the news is fake, imagine history
Did you just repeated the previous point without understanding anything of what I wrote?
That's a very good point regarding operational cost of handling account takeovers.

I'm not sure I have much useful commentary to add, but it does occur to me that a sufficiently-sized pool of software users could inspect changes (either at individual-commit-time and/or at tagged-release-time) regardless of whether each changeset is by the same author or in fact a different person every time.
Boardgame.io looks fantastic! JavaScript based frameworks / libraries without a view layer are exactly what I am looking for!
Yes, the conditions we live under have changed; the big question is "Why are some individuals so much more affected by the new environmental effects than others and what should we do about it"

When we gain weight, we understand we need to eat less to lose weight. But that obviously does not work for many many people.

I'm carrying excess fat right now. Abolishing capitalism or taxing soda (or whatever other social, political, or cultural changes you would make) won't get rid of that fat. It is commendable to work on the social causes of obesity. I frame it as an individual psychological issue because it is an individual experience. If it was a matter of finding "the right foods to eat and avoid" or any particular set of facts that could convey how to actually lose weight, then the problem would be solved.

In other words, you can't tell someone to be hungry. Or at least, that doesn't sell any books or diet plans.
central Europe here: You have to take the vacation! You can take a few weeks in the new year, but not everything and you have to consume them.

Why "have to"? Because it's by law forbidden to bully employees into taking money instead of going on vacation. To never have to deal with this, most employers are very strict wrt vacation days :)
Not as much, though. Leave home and set the thermostat to 50F or so.
And a software engineer makes $50k there.
Clearly you’ve not being paying attention when they went to execute every politician and takeover Kiev?
Fair point. I would guess there would be some people who would choose Yale over Stanford, and vice-versa. It probably depends mostly on which coast you want to be on, and if you prefer a very old institution or one that is much younger.
Execution failure on that one, I'd say. Decent idea, and a very Star Treky idea at that (like much of the rest of the season), but just didn't work. It's the only episode from S1 I'd skip on a re-watch.

[EDIT] On reflection, I think the easiest paths to a fix would have been to either go campier with it, until near the end (as TNG or TOS probably would have done) or to go with a distinct, somewhat artsier film-sci-fi-drama tone in the storytelling and cinematography. Its tone is too similar to the rest of the season to work for that particular episode. Fine for the rest, but not quite a fit for that story.
Yeah, it's all NATO's fault and has nothing to do with Putin's irrational aggression.
It took many years for the light to reach the telescope, what’s a few more minutes?
