Is it a better way to customers? Or just a better way for you to implement it that customers don't see the difference?
Personally I'm really happy to see a commercial entity with a FOSS offering that's protecting their revenue using AGPL instead of these new "open source eventually" business licenses. Don't get discouraged. For everyone that would complain about this license choice there are just as many of us who celebrate it.
> Most people who use anything for iOS tend to use things like:

You probably meant "Most people I know".
You should watch your domains and look out for any friends who suddenly have a new car or a new nice watch :-).

My strategy for things is to use a unique username and email address (and password..) for critical services, that way any hacks/leaks of other sites don't reveal my entire web presence. It may be that your email was found in another dump, or from a domain whois lookup.
Have a look at GrapheneOS impressive feature list, iOS has some work to do.

Okay. Those are essentially malware anyway. As long as uBlock Origin is not affected I see no problem with Google "cracking down" on anything.

Yeah, we get those too. We let people write JavaScript to build their sites (we're a site builder), and people will use that feature and add an alert and then claim it's XSS (on their own account).
I love the idea, and would consider paying for this after a nice trial period. I love my kindle and it has radically changed how much I read, I used to read maybe 2-3 books a year, now it's more like 2-3 books a month. I find the E-ink screen and "low techness" of it the most appealing. I'm really looking forward to using this for things other than books.
This makes me so optimistic for the future of YC. Congrats Garry!
That’s an engine test. Not a rocket with payload attached.
Everyone I know who programs LabVIEW programs like the anti-example shown in the article. It's not LabVIEW's fault, you can certainly develop cleanly. The problem is that quick proof-of-concepts developed by non programmers (technicians, scientists) turn into solutions that become unsupportable.

This isn't to say that traditional languages and programming tools offer better solutions to current LabVIEW users, though.
Wait, where are those jobs? Are we in a recession or not?
I think the OP was specifically asking why “Walmart vs Amazon” not “why anywhere else vs Amazon”. The case against shopping at Amazon is clear but why take your dollars to Walmart who is arguably just as bad in every regard.
Perhaps someone just got confused with the amount of j's in their username?
Think more along the lines of "bad guys" vs "good guys" rather than corporate competition. Perfectly harmless systems are built everyday. But, the consumers of those systems may not always be harmless. Understanding - and eventually controlling - the inner workings of these custom systems [covertly in some circumstances] is often necessary to stop the bad guys.
Congrats! Who knew in ‘08 that you’d be running the joint one day?
Just to add to this, I wrote additional lecture notes for the class on OCaml I taught, which was largely based on this book.

I have some skin in this game. :)

OP's app is Gloomhaven Secretary.
The other app is X-Haven Assistant.
I announced a similar app, Gloomhaven Full Stack, before either of those apps were started and before GH Helper was discontinued.

All of our apps can exist only because of the generosity of Gloomhaven's creator, Isaac Childres. He made all the game assets available for use in apps as long as we don't make money. And we are all building on the success of GH Helper. We are standing on the shoulders of giants.

Everything OP says about XH Assistant, I could be saying about GH Secretary. I had all the features before both of them. I have original features that they both "copy". (I did it first, but ideas are cheap, and they may have come up with it independently.) But they both look a lot nicer than mine. I feel jealousy too, but I understand why users would like the other apps more than mine.

After my initial jealousy, I was actually quite glad they existed because I could now tell users if they don't like my app, no worries try one of these others. I include links to the other apps when I post updates to my app. I often tell users about GHS along side my own app if they both address a user's issue.

To address my own jealousy, I try to feel more gratitude. I think of it as healthy competition and happy to promote competitors if they are more what the user wants. I should probably do more to acknowledge the apps that inspired me.

For now, my app still has features the others don't. I created my app to do more than GH Helper, intentionally not be a clone and experiment with ways of doing things differently from GH Helper, and to combine the functionality of 4 different apps that I was previously using. I am resolved to the fact that the other apps might eventually implement all those features, but I will continue with my app as long as I have new ideas I want to add.
Fencing stolen car stereos provides a better return than retailing legit electronics. Does that make laws against receiving stolen property an infringement of your freedom to do business?

I don't have much sympathy for your predicament. Perhaps the market has a better use for your hosting facility than pumping out ads and tracking scripts.

I believe they are a protest by largely US-owned companies against regulation

Even if this is true, it's something that should have been expected by EU legislators. Their beliefs seem to be that companies are acting in bad faith by secretly tracking users and misusing the information that they gather (basically true), and also that if they impose vague rules that companies need to get consent for tracking then they'll act in good faith and give users clear and convenient ways of opting out (ha ha ha).
Sadly, even paying for content will often keep ads around. NYTimes and WSJ come to mind.
Well, you think you ignore them but they still influence you.
Ironically there were far more contractors in the past.

Just look at the journey COTS, form Orbital -> Orbital ATK -> NG.

> Up until recently, there was no profit motive to create private rockets

Had the government not artificially pushed Shuttle, there would actually have been a quite large commercial market.

A US launch vehicle could very much have competed against Ariane 3 and Soyuz.

> And no, you can't just force them to shoulder risk.

Rocket launches in the 90s were not some crazy future risk. Doing a COTS style program for rockets was 100% viable.

> If we wanted someone we could force risk onto, we would need a public entity that designs and manufactures the rockets.

No you only need a public entity willing to buy a a lot of launches.
It definitely seems like your use-case is more complex than just rendering the diagrams. I think that is very cool. I'd love to see the video if you want to share it (my email is on my hn profile)
I had a similar experience, even if i clean all the files, delete most of the apps, it was filling up quickly with system data. There are many people having the same problem btw. I have reinstalled the iOS, it went well for a month. Unfortunately i had to buy cheapest icloud… wait for it… problem gone.

From my personal experience, yeah. Even if it’s not intended, they probably know this problem exists but nothing done to resolve.
As a lesson how NOT to spend money, maybe yes. Two best case scenarios for SLS - it will either blow up without crew, or it will be voluntarily put in the museum. In the Museum of American Finance.
Yeah, completely agreed. But the reason you don't have to go out of your way is because the majority does care about that.

That's exactly why I never used Jekyll and don't really understand people that use it nowadays. It is AWFUL. Not only it uses greatly outdated Ruby, you also HAVE to install outdated Ruby on your machine to play with themes, serve, compile and are forced to use RVM. I know GitHub Pages can compile the page for you, but when you want to customize a theme you have to go through all that hell. It's just a terrible experience. And installing plugins is another hell.
implicit here in your thinking is that we actually benefit (more than the cost of enforcing) from the previous net neutrality regime
A dog walked into a tavern and said, "I can't see a thing. I'll open this one."
Has SoftBank/Masayoshi Son really had great results? A lot of SoftBank was built on their Alibaba investment - $20M which grew to $60B. One stellar investment doesn't create a business model.

SoftBank's purchase of Vodafone Japan wasn't a bad move, but part of that was Vodafone failing miserably in Japan and wanting to exit the market. SoftBank's purchase of Sprint was a disaster until T-Mobile bought Sprint. Their purchase of ARM hasn't yielded anything big for them. They bought ARM for $32B and even if NVIDIA were able to buy ARM for $40B, that would have been less than a 6% annual return on their investment - way below the market return for 2016-2020.

Has there been any big success story for SoftBank beyond their Alibaba investment and purchase of Vodafone Japan (the latter which seems to have have grown at a rate of 8% per year since 2006 which is mediocre at best)? Everything else seems to have been really mediocre or a failure.

Uber? It's still losing money and didn't pay off. WeWork? That imploded. Supercell they were able to flip to Tencent for a few billion which was a nice payday, but somewhat small for the size (and bluster) of SoftBank. Didi? That has sunk like a stone. Coupang has fallen a lot since its IPO, but SoftBank is probably still in the black on their investment there - but it's still not a huge success.

It just seems like they've had one Alibaba where they turned $20M into $60B (a 3,000x return) and the rest of their picks feel like the types of things your coworkers chat about at lunch. "ARM is going to be huge! Everything is going to be chips in the future and it's all going to be ARM!" "WeWork is the next big thing - space as a service! They're going to take over everything with office space and co-working!" "Uber is going to take over transportation! No more subways, they'll just have these autonomous Ubers going around everywhere!" "Wag is like Uber for dog walking! Everyone will pay for premium dog walking!" I'm not even saying that these are bad businesses, but they seem over-hyped and without special insight. They seem like they're the same level of insight that you get over a lunch conversation with random people at work.

> I don't know why you have operator overloading at all.

Wren doesn't have "operator overloading". There is no separate feature in addition to the normal operator support that also lets you overload them. Wren just uses single dispatch for infix operators. Even the "built in" operator behavior like addition on numbers is simply pre-defined methods on the Number class. Like Smalltalk (which Wren is heavily inspired by), everything is just a method call and there is little "special" behavior for primitives.
It feels like this should be solvable though. I’m reminded of this which was posted very recently:

It's for sure not "wrong," as (a) it's your software (b) people have different concerns they want to have addressed by license terms

For me, and the company I work for, AGPL is strictly banned. GPL is gravely frowned upon, because the founder had a lot of lawyers involved that almost bombed an acquisition. I appreciate that's anecdata, but for sure it is a "conversation" in the company versus Apache 2 which requires no conversation

I'm actually kind of luke-warm about AGPL for some things, but for what I imagine is a JVM agent, and thus both injected into my software and communicates over the network, hard pass

For clarity: I didn't mean my comment as a scolding: the community is almost certainty better off for you having chosen to share the code, and there will be folks who can and do contribute fixes under the terms of the AGPL. It's just been my overpowering experience that a lot of companies that try to open source code are trying to guard against "being Amazon-ed" and I appreciate why they think that way
Do you have a way for me to demo the RSS support? I'd love to have a calm technology flow for reading articles on my kindle and I think ktool may just be what I'm looking for.

A potential problem they're trying to prevent might be where money launderers use google accounts to funnel YT Premium money to specific channels via watch time (since Premium pays out a lot more, and pay per minute watched[0]).

In line with the topic of old/ancient sounds and music, I found The Soundscape[0] by Murray Schafer[1] (TIL he died last year) very interesting. I enjoy what I think is a wide range of music styles, some of which are best experienced (by me, to any extent) when listened to very loud, yet his concept of "ear cleansing" is one I found compelling.

If you've ever watched a herd of horses, you'd know that's not true. Dominance bubbles to the top. Pushiness bubbles to the top. If the animal is also a decent leader, then great. A lot of the time it's insecure and too busy trying to maintain its position and the rest of the herd ends up harried and banged up.

Seen it in dogs too, seen it a million times in people. Those are more artificial situations though.
Oh yeah good call out: swap the WiFi card, even when it's supported the Realtek one is slower.

Germany's Gas Storage Facilities Filling Up Faster Than Planned – Econ Minister
I have a Galago Pro 5 without the dedicated Nvidia GPU. It's a nice, lightweight, 14" laptop with an upper aluminum shell. I'm running Manjaro on it, and it runs great with a decent battery life (roughly 6 hours?) while programming.

The Framework laptop intrigues me but I ultimately wanted something less experimental.
> social media, ad-driven news websites, etc are all things that users place practically zero value on

> If you start asking users for actual money they suddenly decide that all these services represent no value and they'll live without them.

So what you're saying is if we use ad blocking technology to kill off the advertising business model, we can also kill off social media and its addictive algorithms, clickbaiting sites that generate and monetize outrage and numerous other cancers on society that the advertisers enable.

Ad blocking is now a moral imperative.
> So is the cost of the SLS, and the Artemis program as a whole, worth it? Maybe. If Artemis accomplishes all that it has set out to accomplish over the next 10 years or more, that "maybe" could shift to a "probably." Once SpaceX's Starship is launching as often as the company hopes, it's possible we'll see a cancellation of Artemis similar to that of Apollo. But the difference, hopefully, would be the emergence of a bold and flourishing space industry to cement the obsolescence of SLS, letting a new age of human exploration blossom, rather than another 50 years of human spaceflight stagnation, in which people never venture beyond low Earth orbit.

This article is so confused. It keeps referencing Artemis as if it is the catalyst for re-developing an American passion for spaceflight. If anything, it's a giant symbol of government apathy and inefficiency. It's like someone is really intent on giving NASA credit for everything that SpaceX has done in the last decade.
chezmoi can clone from any git repo, you don't have to use GitHub. You can clone from your own hosted repo, GitLab, sourcehut, Codeberg, or anywhere else.
That landing ever actually occurring seems about as likely as pigs flying (or pork barrels flying?) NASA selecting the absurd Starship lander proposal seems like a tacit admission of this.

The lander contract is a 'safe' contract for SpaceX to win, despite their absurd proposal, since the whole program is very unlikely to ever get to the stage where the lander is actually put to use and sent to the moon.
Not sure who markets are ruined for the long term. If the subsidizing stops, the market will reestablish itself. There is nothing destroyed inherently here.
> I know many vegans. They have access to the same information as I do about the treatment of animals, and they have made informed decisions about their lifestyle, which I fully respect.

> I myself remain a meat-eater.

It strikes me as off that one would consider themselves informed enough to have decided not to be a vegan but consider image generation AI unethical. As a former carnivore (literally sometimes going an entire day eating mostly or entirely meat), access to the information about just how horrific factory farming is and the willingness to open my eyes to it was the only thing that stopped me from being persuaded.
"The key thing that most people in tech don't appear to grok very easily is that the overwhelming majority of web services like search engines, social media, ad-driven news websites, etc are all things that users place practically zero value on."

Then why did we build them? This seems like a massive waste of effort.
Also, the reader function within Safari works pretty well in my experience.
Unless it’s banking or something similar I don’t install updates for apps if the change log is ‘bug fixes and performance improvements’ or a variation, or if it’s the same every week. If it’s too much of an effort for them to write a changelog, it’s probably not worth the effort and risk to install their updates.
I think someone did a calculation, that they could have just pay every engineer in the program half a million dollars to keep them their job and still have billions left.
Ironically the above take about money in politics is so popular that the narrative around it is basically impossible to change at this point (at least among people left of center). I don't think any amount of evidence could change most people's minds, and I've tried many times.

Software Mimicry
For large applications with many thousands of pages, or many thousands of engineers working on the same system, name collisions happen. It’s not just throwing “random css” into the mix, it’s that many disjointed parts of the same application suddenly become connected and interdependent. Especially with “parameter names” like “size”. You really have three choices to solve this: invent elaborate tooling to catch overuse; prepend your classes in the hope that lowers conflicts; or over specify selectors and deal with the specificity issues that fall out from this.

Custom elements are very well supported today! I’d encourage you to spend more time with them!

It's great to see validation for the usual advice: just buy an index ETF. Most stock pickers fail to consistently outperform the market.
It depends, the followup is often unimpressive. Many people who did really impressive things in their youth ended up with quite mundane lives.

I mean it along the lines of "at 17, she is doing AI on IR images, at 30 she will be fixing bugs in traffic sign detection code for a big car company, with no mention of her name except in commit logs".

And it is not a bad thing! We need people to fix bugs in traffic sign detection code, and she may have a nice pay, in a reputable company, with a good work-life balance. It may not be impressive work, but it is work that needs to be done.

It may not be a feel good story for the press, but I believe living a mundane life certainly feels good to the one living it.

Again, its not just commercial. The other internal options were also better.

And even if you assume they fail, the bids were expected to be in the 2-5 billion $ range.

Not in the 20 billion+ $ range. And those bids would have been for a 130 ton rocket, not a 90 ton rocket like SLS is.

> I'd also question cost estimates based on nothing actually built or seriously planned through.

You can question it, but those kinds of estimates are what NASA bases it choices on. And NASA picked what their own estimations suggested was the worst thing.

I think your comment is the most accurate depiction of the warts.

Yeah, the standard library is inconsistent, and they don't seem keen to merge in some features when they're readily available in other libraries. Plus there are some odd implementation details in the Unix module (for example, read/write and friends) at the C level that don't seem to get much traction on fixing despite fairly clear paths to resolution.

I personally don't care about the difference between binding something to a variable and the infix operator.

What I don't like are the multiple concurrency stories, this is similar to the problem seen with the standard library vs janestreet's. Although with the module system being what it is it's usually not too big a deal to support either concurrency library (even though some libraries force you to use one or the other).

Although I'm hopeful that with multicore finally being a real thing, the community will settle on a single concurrency library that can be pulled into the standard library in the future.

Despite the issues, it is still my favorite language.
Actually, yea. Many people do. It's relatively common. This is an element of personal responsibility. Granted, I know how to cook and I'm not a big fan of boxed, processed foods. This makes the gamut of foods I care about easier to track.

Plus, knowing that grapefruit helps metabolize different things helpful and cheapens your bartab. You'll get drunk faster after eating a grapefruit or two. Animal derived fats help slow down the inebriation process, like butter and a really greasy beef patty.
