I don’t get Google’s gripe with youtube-dl. A huge chunk of YouTube content is reaction videos and video responses where snippets of the original video is spliced into the new one for commentary. How are creators supposed to make these kinds of videos “legally” if youtube-dl is not allowed according to Google?
Careful with this approach.

Some communities are too nice, so what they say will be biased and inaccurate. Especially the most vital question of whether they will be willing to pay for it.

The need might be real, your solution might be an excellent fit and it would clearly save the target audience a headache or two. And the audience would agree. They will like what you do, they will want to be supportive and encouraging. Up until the point they need to start using it. And then they all will ghost you. Whoops.
I think 'hardly any of the other way around' isn't really fair, particularly when SaaS is clearly the most popular way to distribute software these days.

Your examples are almost entirely focused on the tools to build software, and there open source truly has 'won'. However, what do we all do when we get that tooling? We build SaaS software running on proprietary IaaS cloud environments. The big players know there is no money in proprietary tooling because startups will gravitate to free software. Even then, that is often free as in beer (vscode and chrome spring to mind).

> If you wanted to start developing a new closed-source web server, streaming software, alternative to ffmpeg, programming language, compiler, browser engine, or even mobile operating system, people would probably call you insane.

Absolutely, but people would also call you insane for trying to start a business where you open source your IP.

Honestly I think for consumer level software open source has truly and utterly lost. All consumer operating systems with non-negligible marketshare are proprietary (including android), apps on iOS and android are overwhelmingly closed source, and SaaS is the dominant business model for everything else. Hell, you can't even look at the source code of modern websites without seeing a wall of minified/obfuscated js junk.
One important thing to know about the EU energy ratings: there is a newer standard since 2021, and an appliance that was “A++” in the older standard might be “G” in the new, but the old rating is still on display because it wasn’t retested on the new.

For whom?

Yes, it does, just not as much as 9% does.

Inflation is not hard to understand. It is always a monetary phenomenon. When the money supply increases faster than the value in the economy, you get inflation (because of Law of Supply & Demand, which no government has yet succeeded in repealing).

The rising cost of gas does not cause inflation, because when gas prices go up, you have less money to spend, and hence other prices come down.

PWAs are a real tragedy of the commons with no platform owner willing to extend first-class UX flows due to competing interests as well as adverserial risks from bad-faith actors.

From a security/privacy perspective electron-esque apps are no different from native apps, and divorced from the browser UX, PWAs only inherit the trust they cultivated while running in the browser. They are just webapps with some quality-of-life sprinkled on top, after all.

What they meant is having thumbnail instead of the icon, so that you can quickly see a preview of all the files instead of having to select them one by one. This article was somewhat recently shared and it explains the whole ordeal https://jayfax.neocities.org/mediocrity/gnome-has-no-thumbna... (contains snarky language).

It’s a small(-ish) issue but people often share it as a good example of their frustration with the way Gnome is managed - the bug report has been open for years, there has been several patches proposed, but they’ve always been either rejected or ignored with no discussion. My personal (and similar) pet peeve is that typing in the window will trigger a search instead of selecting the file matching the key like in every other OS.
> A lot of employees will have studied something in humanities. There are valuable skills (particularly writing and communication) that are learned in these degrees that might not be seen as valuable by your average techie.

In my experience tech people value communication and clarity as much and maybe even more than your average person. Try to write code that would be unintelligible to your colleagues. You are not going to get praised for that.

Absolutely useless. It is ridiculous to think that it should require 14+ years of schooling to learn to communicate.
Not true. Have you looked in Europe?

I wonder to what extent that is still the case. When I graduated 15ish years ago it was definitely true that many of my classmates had those low level skills, and serval of them had written their Masters thesis on something related. However looking at people graduating from the same program today, I hardly see anybody doing that sort of work. Everything is either some sort of high level web stuff or machine learning.

Even the people I knew who had those skills haven't used them professionally in over decade since, as you say, the pay sucks.
Well, hello from Eastern Europe where after 40 years of building communism we had forests burnt by acid rains (lignite coal power plants without any filters), dead rivers smelling like sewer and full of nasty foam (cleaning facilities are expensive, comrade!) trash everywhere and thick smog from industry emissions being absolutely normal.

Those things are fixed now, because necessary regulation were put in place, but it has nothing to do with capitalism or communism.
I think the company and/or team is broken.

I see two reasons for hiring:

1. To join a broken team and getting stuff done by constant grit. In which case I don't want to work there.

2. Company actually wants to fix the team and hire gritty people to phase out the defunct team. I also wouldn't want to do that.

I'm sorry, but that's not how things work in the real global world.

Say Canada does what you say will fix everything, and adds extra taxes so that there's less money to spend, so in theory demand will go lower because there would be less money, and in theory supply will increase, and thus suppliers would have to lower prices to meet consumers. Econ 101, right? Wrong, you should have continued past that chapter.

First, we're talking about inelastic goods. Food, energy. There's very limited elasticity there - you can choose to conserve energy and eat cheaper food, but in the end, you need electricity, warmth and food or you'll die, so there's only so much you can be elastic in your demand. Less money to spend due to higher taxes means choosing between eating rice for a week or uncomfortable cold going to freezing depending on place and season. (Until magically the market fixes itself, right? Wrong.)

Second, we're talking about global markets. If Canadians have less money to spend on wheat and corn and substitutes, or vegetable oils, or oil and gas, well, someone else will buy them on the global market. Even the local producers, unless they're forced to otherwise, or they're feeling really nice. There is more demand than there is supply for those specific, rather inelastic, items that the whole world needs and consumes, and which are heavily impacted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Which has also had ramifications such as Indonesia, one of the biggest exporters of palm oil, stopping exports due to rising vegetable oil prices globally (due to the war), to protect the local market by having locals buy local palm oil as a replacement for the expensive imported other oils.
It’s a war. What did you expect exactly?

Now that the Ukrainians are taking back territories I fully expect the purging related stories to be on their way and it’s not going to look pretty as usual. Wars are disgusting affairs.

You can’t base your analysis on the reported exactions committed by one side. That’s just setting you as an easy target for propaganda.
Ah, thanks! I was more familiar with the color management situation than the subpixel anti-aliasing situation.
> supply (or probably more correct, holdings) of gold determine the money supply when a gold standard is in place

It does not when the money is not convertible to gold. Such is a fictitious gold standard.

The bank runs in the Depression were caused by inflation devaluing the value of a dollar by about half since 1914, yet was still convertible to gold. People suddenly realized they could DOUBLE THEIR MONEY by converting their paper money to gold. So they ran to the banks to do this. Of course, there wasn't enough gold to support that, and the banks collapsed. The runs did not stop until FDR made it illegal to exchange dollars for gold.

> The inflation of the US currency happened much later

Check the historical inflation figures. The dollar lost half its value 1914-29.
I'm not sure what experience you're describing, for me the real crime trying to run a remote Firefox over a forwarded X session is that it figures out you're doing that and instead decides to run another window of your local Firefox instance.

To be fair, Espressif didn't use ARM on their previous ESP designs, but Xtensa[1].

Looking at which chips currenly use ARM vs RISC-V isn't interesting, it's more interesting to look at which new designs are done using ARM vs RISC-V.

I assume large players like ST, Microchip and Infineon (Cypress) have bought the ARM licenses and have the infrastructure that allow them to churn out more STM32[2], SAMD[3] and PSoC[4] variations (respectively) for a good while, for example, so there is a fair bit of inertia in this space.

That said, browsing that RISC-V member list[5], we do find those same three players as strategic members, so they clearly haven't closed the door on RISC-V...

It’s not the ones with crushing long term debt that are half a million dollars ahead. Further the creditors are much wealthier than the debtors. Disadvantaging middle-upper class people in their fight against the upper class isn’t necessarily going to mean equality.

Okay so their top organic pages were specifically about how to download Youtube videos. I'm assuming this is against Youtube's Terms of Service and considering Youtube is owned by Google this doesn't seem like they were really trying too hard to stay on Google's good side which you need to do when you get millions of monthly organic traffic and want to keep it that way.

But anyways according to Ahrefs I'm not seeing any traffic loss (not sure what happened with that big spike but there was a Google update at that time):

Most Europe is on similar lattitude to major Canadian cities, and yet people generally don't do winter sports (so, nights are as long, and winter is probably harsher than in coastal Canadian cities). They may take one ski trip per year, but generally, during winter, they don't do much things outside, apart maybe from some walks.
I don't. It might help to broaden your news sources.

But just looking at your post history, I would suggest that for every negative story about China that you post, post a positive one about China too. Keep it 50/50. Balance.

Governments prefer fiat money because they can print all they want without raising taxes. And that's what they've always done with fiat money, going back to the invention of money. It always results in inflation.

The reason nobody believes this is because of extremely effective propaganda emanating from every government that prints fiat money. The "Putin Price Hike" is the latest in a long string of lies about what causes inflation. (Inflation was at something like 7% before Putin's War started.) Of course, "the speculators, gougers, and profiteers" are always blamed, too.
I wouldn't count the hours during winter though. It's heating, which you'd pay anyway.

So, when Google scraped the internet to provide search engine, that was okay, but when some other site scrapes something, it is not?

But Google acting as police, judge, jury and executioner here shows why it's a problem to have a single unregulated company with so much power.

Pattern matching appeared in Lisp in the 1960's. See The COMIT Feature in LISP II, https://www.softwarepreservation.com/projects/LISP/lisp2/MIT...

Most mainstream Lisp dialects have some sort of structural pattern matching. Common Lisp has destructuring-bind, which is enough for avoiding car/cdr. Plus a number of advanced pattern matching libraries that are not just for matching lists.

Same with Scheme dialects.

Even Emacs Lisp has pattern matching: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PatternMatching

Nobody needs to work without pattern matching in Lisp, save for maybe some hapless AutoCAD users.

> Then do you also agree that if you need to spend 4 years learning how to write effective software you probably shouldn't go to university either?

The scope of writing for effective communication and writing software are very different, but I do also agree with this. SE and CS degrees aren't for writing software though.

I think specialized education has far fewer benefits than most people think. Basic language and mathematical skills are a good baseline, but expecting to teach the whole population advanced algebra for instance, does not seem productive. It's why people question what they were taught in school.

> If you cannot meet that standard, then by your own argument you have proved yourself wrong
