Hypermedia in general, and specifically the World Wide Web, was never intended to be limited to displaying documents. What you're describing is essentially just Hypertext, but that's only one narrow aspect of hypermedia and the Web.

Hypercard, NLS, and other systems that predated and informed the WWW were all envisioned to do so much more than display links and text, and it's a very myopic view in my opinion to suggest otherwise. I recommend anyone who shares this perspective look into the spiritual predecessors of the Web to better understand where we've been and where things are going.
+1 for Google Fi

I use Google Fi and I've been to the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, and Switzerland. When I landed, I'd get a text message saying something like "Welcome to $COUNTRY! Your data is $DATA_RATE per gigabyte and voice calls are $VOICE_RATE per minute. It may take a couple minutes to get connected"

DATA_RATE has always been the standard Google Fi rate of $10/GB (with data free after a certain point, and free but throttled at another threshold), and the voice rate is typically 10 cents/minute.

For people that do a lot of travel and use a lot of data, you can even get an unlimited international data plan.

But yeah, I can go to nearly any first world country, and even some 3rd world countries, and not pay extra for my data. The fact that Verizon/TMobile/Sprint/etc. can't get their shit together and make this happen for their customers feels like a scam.
Many social media sites don't allow you to register using e.g. Google Voice or Twilio phone numbers, since you can get those for free and/or in bulk, so they assume they're used for spam or ban evasion.

I've seen this on Twitter, which doesn't require a phone number to set up, but it's possible for your account to be flagged as suspicious, and get locked down until you add a phone number.
Anybody who thinks esims don't have issues hasn't seen much of the "real" world. In a lot of countries esim still isn't even an option, especially if you're a visitor. At least in developing countries getting a physical SIM is as easy as paying a small fee on your way out the airport and popping it in your phone or picking one up in a convenience store.

I just arrived here in Panama and got a local sim for $5/week from a grocery store. The esim options were 2x this price and required installing special apps.
In some countries no domestic carrier supports eSIM.

Reading the GamesIndustryBiz article, her book was technically banned when the district banned "diversity resources" (meaning generally any book by a minority which mentions the minority experience in any way), and then they made an exception for books already in use. Her book was already in use, so existing copies can continue to be use, but new copies and new editions of her book are banned.

So both sides are correct on this...

I think this is extremely common for social networks to experiment with this kind of things. Trying out various blends of user experience, social circles and so on to see what best converts users to premium members.

Not saying it's right, just that it constantly happens.

Would like the author to describe the kind of applications/use-case they apply this too? And maybe detail what the next step is of incorporating that snippet back in the actual application?
But this is what leads to rational developers working for companies on loss-leader open-source "bait+switch" models.

There's this idea that open source should be totally free, but then how does the developer writing the software wind up eating and paying their rent? There's the linux kernel and mozilla and other massive open source projects which have large companies and foundations and budgets behind them, but that is the 0.01% of open source projects.

When OSS maintainers setup companies and go the "loss leader" or "bait and switch" or "freemium" models so that they release open source code, but the Enterprise-level offerings are locked behind proprietary licenses then this is looked at as being a betrayal.

The OSS community almost seems to require OSS maintainers to be in poverty, while allowing large corporations to freely consume all of their work. That just isn't sustainable.
The same example also goes into the opposite direction: Let's assume your phone gets stolen in a foreign country: With a regular SIM card I lost my phone service for the remainder of the trip. With an eSIM I can buy another phone (that supports eSIMs) and login to the website of my provider to download a new eSIM. Problem solved.
The news widget in the start menu for windows only opens using edge. I hate it.
It'd maybe be nice to be able to mark which code gets optimized. If I could make all std as "don't debug this and keep it optimized" I would. I know some debuggers have the option to at least not step into certain code that that doesn't solve the optimization issue

Both are very significant limiting factors for non-gaming applications.

Top gaming rigs are the dragsters of computing: no power consumption is too high, no hardware contraption is too large. But most people, and most businesses, don't drive dragsters.

When I was doing some work on Dolphin's JIT, AVX implementations were always back of mind. It's a massive tradeoff in so many cases but having access to these is amazing.
In age with X25519 identities, ChaCha20-Poly1305 ensures the authenticity of data modulo the public key. It doesn't ensure the authenticity of the data itself, since anybody can encrypt to the public key.

In other words: it establishes that the data was encrypted to the expected key (and is not just random data being transformed by the cryptosystem), but not that a particular entity encrypted to that key.

(age does provide de-facto authenticated encryption when you use it with a passphrase, since the passphrase effectively forms a proof of identity. But not with asymmetric keypairs.)
> "No one should ever be able to interrupt me, absolutely ever" is a disturbingly entitled and modern take.

I think you're exaggerating it, it's more just that interrupting people is considered rude because we have so many less intrusive means of communicating now. If you want my attention, right now, no forewarning, you should probably have a good reason unless we have the kind of relationship where I expect out-of-the-blue calls and you know my schedule.

> Not too long ago, it was perfectly fine for people to turn up at your house unannounced, to pay you a visit, for no reason in particular other than to engage socially and you were expected to host them at your house (!).

Yeah... because we didn't have cell phones. And it sucked. Especially with socially clueless people that didn't have good boundaries. I remember having to play that "hide from the windows until they go away game" as a kid because an obnoxious neighbor would tie up way too much of your time unless you were blunt to the point of being rude; and well, you don't really want to do that if you live next to people right? I'm glad that practically never happens anymore because the norm is you don't bang on peoples door.

> Surely we can deal with the very occasional call from someone that wants 5 minutes of your time, no?

Well, sure, but they can text first right? "I need 5 minutes, are you busy at the moment?" Solved.

I wrote Word Writer for Commodore 64. Creating the spelling checker was quite the task. I got a PC with enough RAM for a large RamDisk, managed to write an analysis tool that quantified all 2, 3, and 4 letter groups in the dictionary. This was encoded into 5 bit words, (no uppercase), serialized, and as it streamed alphabetically thru the dictionary, each entry kept the leading letters from the prior one. It worked, after a lot of debugging.

I've made the source code to Word Writer open source. Please encourage your programmer friends to open source off copyright works. The software industry is very eager to claim copyright protection, but generally fails to deliver that literary work to the public as copyright is intended.

Also - a lot of old software is trapped in tooling that isn't available. In my case that was the 2500AD cross assembler. So I wrote another tool (also open source https://github.com/jefflomax/converttoacme) that converts the software from the 2500AD format to the wonderful, modern, open ACME cross assembler. That's the reason WHY you can download WW6, open it in VSCode, add a few free extensions, assemble it, and shoot it right into the fantastic VICE Commodore Emulator and see it run.

OH, and if you think the spelling checker was difficult - think about the Thesaurus and 55K words packed onto a 174MB disc! That thing had a host of different word sizes being streamed thru.

Hope you enjoy this, feel free to ping.

I'm seeing a lot of people advocating for either eSIM or standard SIM slot. I feel like the real question should be "why not both?"

I know there are economics, control, tracking, or whatever at play. Regardless, I think the phone should have a SIM slot and it should ALSO have eSIM functionality.

I can almost guarantee the reason they're pushing for eSIM is because it's cheaper to manufacture a phone without a milled out slot with water sealant lining, little switch to pop out the SIM deck, etc.

Can we all not agree that the real "enemy" here is the corporations taking away your options? If we were really thinking about the consumer here, we'd be ensuring you had access to both technologies to ensure your phone is robust and capable of working on any network regardless of their SIM requirements.

Maybe this is crazy talk though. Maybe eSIM is so amazing, old SIM doesn't even matter anymore, but I can't help but feel like I'm right here, because having both quite literally appeases everyone except rich corpo's trying to save a buck.
Ah yeah I remember there being an open issue for the kernel that had something to do with sleep states, but if I recall they supposedly patched that bug. I don't use sleep/hibernate. I'm not sure what my system settings are for those modes. Yes on desktop.
I’m out of the loop here and too lazy to check, but let’s say those people were to apply for a mortgage, would the bank only look at the “fixed” part of their income when considering one’s application? Or it will also look at the “variable” part? (i.e. the part of the comp that will vest at some point in the future). If the answer to this last question is “yes”, how does the bank “compute” that future/expected income?

There are pros and cons to each of these Stable Diffusion hacks (usually time/memory/usability tradeoffs) so it's not correct to merge it back.
Design is important though every time I work with different designer, there's almost nothing new pattern to me. Nav, grid, list, section, card, info grouping (title here big, subtitle/description here a bit smaller, tone down, thing's status at some corner or after title). Maybe I did so many roles at so many projects and kinda realize this specialized roles doing quite little work or not enough work to be a dedicate role. Fair point for designer role is those exotic marketing and landing pages (lots of images, fancy typography, cool background pattern) .. though they will end up with grid features or zig zag (image/text, left/right).. again.
I'm lacking details from your wish of course, but if you need to run several, disparate different software....Could not one of the common linux distros like Ubuntu, Redhat/Fedora, SUSE, etc. suffice, and of course have a powerful enough machine to run virtual machines or maybe WINE? Obviously this depends on whether you were asking for client side or server side...And if on the client side, things - as you know very well - can get very tricky because you then have to deal with training and general acceptance.

When i used to have my IT side hustle company, whenever i supported software for small businesses, i often found that nuding them to web equivalent software made things alot easier. For example, some users get comfy with software faster when its within context of a web browser...Of course, this is different for every user/org and with different software, it depends. But it lessens your support away from conventuional desktop supporot. However, if the web softeware is managed hosted then its much easier, but if you have to manage the hosting, then you would need web management sort of skills. for me that was my forte, so it was easy for me.

As to your wish to find a linux distro for business tech, there are platforms like Odoo (see wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odoo)...but they're not lightweight, and back to my earlier point, you'd have to build up your skills administrering web apps, server, etc. I'm sure there are plenty of other options beyond Odoo. Try a couple of searches against odoo; the old google hack of "odoo vs..."

Good luck!

Ask HN: GitHub sponsors, what are the top OS projects that could interest devs?
I don't see what that has to do with Zodiac.
The problem is that open-source purists the likes of the Free Software Foundation have and continue to maintain that FOSS doesn't have to mean gratis, that there is supposedly some kind of reasonable path to being able to feed yourself while working on FOSS.

There is an idea pervasive within the developer culture that--through sweat and grit--one can build a project (regardless of FOSS or not) and eventually be recognized for the effort. And not just recognized, but recognized in a specific way. For some developers, that is notoriety. For others, it's money. But the idea is basically "my code in -> my definition of validation out".

And I think it's pretty clear that, for most projects out there, that's just not true. Or, more specifically, there is a huge chunk of the story that is missing. Because it's not hard to find dozens of projects in almost any niche, across thousands of niches. For the vast majority of them, they toil in obscurity. Some of them might be underdeveloped, but I see that more as a result of the failure to receive said validation leading to quitting the project. There is clearly some other factor involved in between creating a project and finding success with that project.

A lot of that missing element is selling. Even FOSS projects that are delivered free of charge to users need to "sell" themselves. Linux wouldn't be anywhere if Linus Torvalds hadn't recruited users. You have to convince people to try your thing and that convincing can take many forms. "Selling" is putting a name to "the act of convincing".

It's not quality code. It's not documentation. It's not a pretty website. Lots of failed projects have those things. Lots of successful ones don't. You have to market your project, and that's work.

Work that isn't coding. And that's why more developers don't do it.

Celebrity developers have people hanging on their every word on Twitter already. They have already done the work of advertising--advertising themselves--and now they cash in on the reputation and can make a successful project just by announcing it. Large corporations have money to pour into actual advertising and marketing for new projects. But independent developers don't have the cache or the money to be able to pull that off, and don't have the visibility into the background work on those other projects to know how their efforts are different from the projects they look up to.

But FOSS advocates keep pointing to the work of celebrity developers, of "open-source aligned" corporations, and saying "see, open-source can work". There's a lot of pressure from other developers to open your work. Most of the loudest voices keep saying, "this path works", leaving out the key element, making it sound like a dream.

I call this the "Field of Dreams Paradox". We have the phrase "if you build it, they will come" stuck in our cultural memory, but have forgotten that the movie is about a literal miracle.
How long do software engineers stay at a job? (2021)
> every problem that Mozilla brings up in this report stems from them, and other browser developing corporations, treating web pages as applications instead of as documents.

What do you mean by this?

The problems they bring up essentially boil down to increasing user access to privacy, security, and new features. Locking people into default browsers put us back into the stagnant, horrible IE6 era.

The only thing I can figure out is you're saying if client-side scripting didn't exist, some of these would be less pressing. Which is true, but it does exist, so the choice is abolish/avoid it (good luck getting mass user adoption!), or deal with it.
Well, you can install a different calculator. On iOS, you can install a different "browser," but under the hood they all have to be safari.
That's a bit of a false dichotomy don't you think?

You're looking at one extreme where the OS must hold the user's hand to get them to install alternatives. But that's not what users deserve. They just deserve to have the ability to choose to install what they want, rather than it being blocked, or deceptively hidden.

See this from the article:

> Operating systems regularly design their systems to undermine rather than facilitate consumer choice: they can make it difficult to change default settings; they can make it hard to install new browsers; they can deploy nudges and deceptive messaging to push consumers to their own products.

When I saw that this was from the LoC I really hoped to see some photography from the Prokudin-Gorskii collection [1] but this seems to be mostly “iconic” photos from Western media. I’d be a lot more interested to know who the two cossacks were [2] and what they thought about at the dawn of the first world war or literally anything about the shepherd’s boy that randomly stopped for a photograph in 1910 [3], not knowing he’d be immortalized as the first shepherd caught on a color camera.

The whole collection consists of thousands of (mostly) full color photographs of Russia taken on color plates between 1905 and 1915 by a single man and its well worth a look. When the plates align perfectly, the detail in the photographs is nothing short of stunning

I think "OS are" tips it off as Operating System(s). If it were Open Source, it would say "OS is".
Yea, I guess a stupid computer user would probably fall for it either way, so I admit defeat on this front.

My argument was going to be along the lines of: "a stupid computer user who knows the real address starts with zlib would be tricked easier by another zlib address than if the real site were random, where they might check more thouroughly that they were on the right site..." before being fooled, anyways, probably.
I think OP meant microchips that cannot be detached from the device.

Physical SIMs can be easily disconnected and destroyed without destroying the device.
There are those rumors. In fact, there's no announced 7800X yet. The speculation is they launch a 7800X3D a few weeks to a few months from now with 3D cache from the beginning in that 7800 name space. To me that seems likely. There's a rather more optimistic rumor that all the 7000 series will eventually have 3D cache versions, which I find maybe too optimistic.
No need for rumours, AMD already said they will be bringing out 7000 series chips with V-cache. This was during a investor presentation, the specific products haven't been announced yet.
It could be the opposite. Big high resolution multisync CRT monitors had to have fine dot pitch and finely focused beam. However, in lower resolutions the distance between scanlines was more noticeable, as there was limit to how wide and powerful electron beam could be. As for the lowest res CGA/EGA modes, VGA and later adapters simply had to use double scan to output anything decent on the CRT, so it was part of the standard.

So people might be trying to mimic running 1987 games on 1997 hardware and not the look of original CGA/EGA/VGA monitors. Recreating some style is an artistic choice altogether anyway, and I think it's better to discuss it this way.
Congrats on your first launch! Way to go. Getting something out there is never easy.

Website feedback: I'd show potential users what's in it for them before requiring them to sign-up.
How many of these shortages were caused by the unconscienable "vaccine" mandates? Biden said the pandemic is over, but the administrative/bureaucratic controls remain in place, keeping people out of jobs in the federal and state sectors. Considering we've known for 2+ years these mRNA shots don't prevent transmission or infection, it's truly absurd that this was used to deny people jobs.

This whole debacle reminds me of (a long time ago at this point), a story where a university tried to reprimand a janitor for reading a book they didn't like on his break. It does make me wonder how many have been reprimanded for reading the wrong book but think it was worth the energy to fight it.

‘Not too long ago, it was perfectly fine for people to turn up at your house unannounced, to pay you a visit, for no reason in particular other than to engage socially and you were expected to host them at your house (!).’

Two thoughts come to mind. First, the effort required for somebody to turn up at your house ensures that this would happen much less frequently than the relatively costless telephone call. Second, some folk probably hate phone calls more than in-person conversations.
