Hi HN,

We're maintaining this roadmap and expect to have some user comments to discuss plans and directions for the product. But we are still receiving requests mainly from Discord and GitHub issues.

I'd like to know what you feel about an open-source project's public roadmap. Is it helpful to you? What would you like to see in it? Any suggestion is appreciated.
I was thinking of the PS2, but you're right, modern consoles have patches.

As for mandatory patches: you would at least have the option to play single-player offline without updating.
Cancelled or not, it's a bad look to put a super-cringy and offputting old guy in charge of a group in serious need of recruiting and support.
Whoops, that was supposed to read *fixed.
One thing that I could say is that bitcoin mining can happen anywhere while typically energy has to be transported to population hubs. I'm not sure I agree that this fact has incentivised much renewables building.
But Why Combinator?
Mind blown. Indeed:

- when I move my head to (+30, +45), my brain reports viewport.LeftTop =(0,0), and,

- when I move my eyes to (+30, +15), my brain reports viewport.LeftTop = (30, -15).

But our eyes are built in such way that the whole lens and sensor assembly rotates, rather than having sensor fixed to the head and lens rotating, so it makes no sense. Framebuffer should always span from (0,0) to (size.x, size.y).

Perhaps the framebuffer always covers the full viewing range, and DMA start addresses are dynamically determined by current eye positions, or perhaps even by feature matching?
I trust Steam or the PlayStation store that if I buy a game for $80, I can play that game for many, many years.

I wouldn't trust a Google product with the same.

Stadia was a bad product, but a lack of trust (combined with a business model which requires trust) is certainly part of it.
Thanks for the pointer, found some online references and eBay has a few physical copies in Russian and English.

I think you'd find most people who work in those companies agree with Stallman at a fundamental level, and broadly support Free Software and the ideas around it. Very few of them support Stallman or think his behavior is helping anything, however.

That I can agree with.

I posted this to highlight the absurdity of the original posting of another definition. I perhaps could have been more explicit, but I thought that my tongue being in my cheek was established by making the point that the original excerpt was taken from an American-English dictionary. Should've started with "Akshually..."
If I look at the Warhols image I can say: “That’s clearly a Warhol image”

I would not say “That’s clearly a pose, framing and likeness done by Goldsmith“. The source photo for the work was just another photo of Prince.

To me that is fair use
This, I’d rather not use a waf and focus on making sure that application security is good.

A waf is at best as good as AV, good as a catch all, but it won’t catch highly targeted stuff, and isn’t even a defensible boundary to protect the former.
Orgzly comes with a sample notebook that can be used as a template.
I agree with most of this.

> It's not really meritocratic. There was a clever study on this some time ago that proved female teachers systematically give higher grades to girls.

To add anecdata, I did some marking of written and typed work, and I found I was extremely accurate in determining whether the writer was a male or female.

> It's definitely not that women benefit from meritocracy.

We really don't know yet. There was a time when females were kept out of education (and poor males too). The claim is made that "women bias to counter historic bias". Based on this, now that females now perform better than males in education, is this not now a completed task?

> Indeed what I've seen over my whole life is that many women are determined to eradicate meritocracy of any kind.

Equality was simply never the goal. We don't see surges of females becoming construction workers or hauling trash. We don't see males encouraged to enter into female dominated fields such as sociology or language studies. What we see almost exclusively is females encouraged into historically male dominated fields - that's all.
Pro-tip: being a "toxic toss-pot" should not be a reason for getting fired. People should not be fired for any non-criminal behavior outside of their workplace, even if it's racist.

Employers who fire people over non-criminal supposedly "racist" behavior should be sued and made to pay big bucks.
This isn't an example of someone still selling a device that either fries others or gets fried, though, right?
I think that electoral reform advocates have started to accept that the public is wary of large changes to the voting system and the allocation of districts.

Partly that's for good reason, since the public has seen how those aspects of the electoral process have been manipulated for partisan benefit in the past (or at least, they've been told that the other side is guilty of that, and they believe it) and it's partly because it's easy to argue against any changes by using FUD techniques, relying on people's mindset of "if it ain't broke".

So it's probably right to focus on a change that's limited to just the balloting and winner-determining processes for now, hoping that a future generation of more engaged voters and more representative politicians can push for changes that lead to more proportional outcomes, as you say.

The corollary of this logic, though, is that it would be better to change just the winner-determining process and not change the ballots at all. While I do think that RCV is a huge improvement to FPTP in the US, I do have some sympathy for the claim that RCV is more complicated, which can have a disenfranchising effect.

For example, it introduces unfamiliar new tactical dimensions, where people might be encouraged to rank their least preferred candidate disingenuously higher than another rival in order to cause that rival to be eliminated first. More generally, it pressures voters to have to produce an exhaustive ranking of all possible candidates, some of whom they might not have heard of, and potentially penalizing voters that opt to leave some ranks unspecified. Then there's the problem of needing to use untrustworthy electronic voting machines (or a much longer manual process) to count ballot papers that have N-factorial possible markings for N candidates, in a process which strongly encourages centralization rather than being distributed.

The solution to these problems is a method called Asset Voting, where ballots work exactly the same way as under FPTP, but at the end of the count, the candidates get eliminated one by one and can re-assign their votes to one of the remaining candidates. This completely removes the spoiler effect and the problem of "wasted" votes, while not introducing any extra cost or delay (other than two minutes of asking the eliminated candidates who their votes should be re-assigned to). Unfortunately, though, I don't think this method has the same momentum behind it as RCV or other popular alternatives like Approval Voting.

If you copy the file, not really. If you make modifications - e.g. a different cut, new scenes, dubbing... Then I'd say you're much closer to being one.
Okay, Drive/Docs/Photos qualifies I think. (But also fuck 'em for ruining Picasa :D) Google Workspaces has to be a money printer.

Go doesn't make them money directly. Similarly k8s is great, but doesn't make them money. (At best it's the classic commoditize your complement strategy. Though I have no idea where Go comes from. Well, I guess if you hire enough language developers you're bound to eventually get a new language, even if it's a bit meh, so they at least matched React in that.)
in reality what happens with this level of tolerance is you get back "example" followed by other nonsense results, which is exactly what uFuzzy tries to avoid. there are plenty of existing fuzzy searches that behave too loosely.

xemaple has two transposition errors, one in the critical (and unusual) prefix position. if we allowed this level of fuzz in "spac ca" it should presumably match "psac ca", "spca ac", "sapc ac". it seems like a good idea at first, but with a big enough corpus you start to realize that these mangled variations actually appear as substrings in very unrealated matches, (they're all two swap errors away)

i dont think you can have what you're asking for without destroying match quality and making things a lot slower in the process - the very qualities that distinguish uFuzzy from what already exists.

i did add support for single transpositions, substitutions, and deletions (in non prefix or suffix positions) yesterday. so your version with one swap ("exmaple") should work.

No it is not. Copyright infringement is not, can not be considered theft. It is not legal theft, and can not be called that in court.

Theft is the act of taking something from someone, if you copy something you by definition have not taken it, you copied it.

The original is still there, intact.

Taxation is closer to theft than copyright infringement is.

This comment is a few decades late. Big Tech doesn't think of RMS, because he's really irrelevant and doesn't stand in their way.

Why? Because he does a bad job in his role of movement leader and made himself irrelevant.

He's irrelevant even in niche circles -- how often do places like HN speak of anything related to RMS other than the drama of him being removed and later re-added to the FSF? Compare with the coverage of other prominent figures. For them we typically have regular non-drama news of what they're actually doing. For RMS we mostly have discussions of "is he a dinosaur?" and once in a while, "Stallman was right about something he said 10 years ago".
Not to mention that it's hard to know if you are having a skilled theraphist or not. That said, having a person to just speak your mind helps. The theraphist is there to listen and can offer feedback on your thoughts.
> Tesla were early adopters by making use of them, but not innovators.

There are two versions of the Gigapress history going around. In one version the idea came to the Idra CEO in a dream, while in the other version Elon gave multiple die casting manufacturers a call and got a hard no from everyone, expect for Idra who gave him a ‘maybe’.

Whichever it it is not that important in my view. What is undisputed is that Tesla put their money where their mouth is and took a real money bet on this new unproven technology early on. That is as much innovation as actually coming up with the machine and idea yourself.

Edit: to add to my point about innovation, from what I understand, no car company has ever used die casted parts in structural components due to concerns about internal stresses resulting from the die cast process. Normally this requires expensive post treatments but Tesla developed a custom alloy that makes this post treatment unnecessary. I am a bit light on details; someone with a metallurgy or structural engineering background pls chime in.

Things were wrong before you showed up and they'll be wrong after you leave. The company will chug along, or maybe it won't. Either way, you won't get a cut of the profits, and you'll be laid off if need be.

Do your bit within your allotted work hours, and leave it at that. It's just work.

And if you're willing to take upscaled resolutions like Stadia offers then you can typically go below the minimum specs (which are themselves far below recommended). Direct X versions are more likely to be a blocker than simply not being able to maintain a framerate.
Probably a stable driver api. It was always a challenge upgrading with offbeat hardware, and the GPUs were always a pain in the butt.
> It is a textbook definition of artificial scarcity.

It isn't, at all. There are a limited number of seats in a physical venue, and this is what gives tickets their value. There is nothing artificial about their scarcity.

And now Google is the one blinded by their own success, who doesn't want you to leave their portal, with tactics like embedded search results and AMP. But where are the people who will come and dethrone them? Probably purchased wholesale by Google or Facebook, sequestered safely away collecting a paycheck and inventing no threats.
Thanks. I don’t think this really changes the point that no big browser have ever been paid for except Netscape. The "paid for" period of IE is insignificant (and it was barely used at the time) and Opera never had more than 3% of market share when it was free [1], let alone when it was paid for.

I keep telling the story of attempting to buy some enterprise routers. I would logon to my distributor's website, click on the CISCO SELECT range, and get blocked from the site for an attempted SQL injection ("SELECT" in the query string).

On the topic of mod_security in general, something like half of these are .php urls, and there's a good chance many readers aren't even running a php interpreter. Somewhere, there's a person attempting to convince the reader that that is exactly the sort of malicious traffic you need a WAF for.
That doesn't mean that there is no value in the original work. It just shows that you are ignorant of the photographers work. That's not meant to be derogatory, just a simple fact. Doesn't change that Warhol should have sought permission either.
Not any kind of relevant expert but I think what you're describing there is the combination of two things - the field of vision of your eyes, coupled with your proprioception, your awareness of your body and its position in space.
I have always thought that the fundamental toxic conceit of
"Intellectual Property" lies in an obscure fear. And I think this case
supports that.

To be clear, I'm not touching on legal or economic arguments about
payment, rights, control or attribution. These may or may not address
the many injustices facing creative people.

In the deeper spiritual conversation about ownership and acts of
thought, is the spectre of fear; that one has passed one's creative
peak. That you'll never make anything as good as that again. From that
fear comes the rejection of creativity as an inexhaustible living
process, and the urge to commodify, to cast the past in stone and
build a fence around it.

This case, which is more formally about 'derivative works', is about
stopping an art-form from living.

For me the antidote to that whole control pathology lies in Kahlil
Gibran's "On Children": You are the bows from which your children
(creations) as living arrows are sent forth. Real creators have the
courage to let go.

Slight alteration on your "because you are invested," there can just be a sense of responsibility.

I was at the DMV last week and I took over some front desk duties because it needed doing. There was only one front desk person with everyone else hidden behind partitions. They left for like 20 minutes and a line was getting crazy and people were confused and worried.

I stood up got everyone's attention and repeating what I heard earlier, "Hey, I don't work here but I don't like this chaos. If you do not have an appointment, please wait in the line outside. If you do, please come over here and take a picture of this qr code to get your ticket number and look to the teleprompter to see when your number is called."

People burst out smiling with relief and organized to take the qr pics. I was seen shorty thereafter.

And they proved everyone right by killing it.

They have the means to keep the product alive and keep trying until they make it, if they really believe in the vision and if it was part of their long term strategy.

Look at Microsoft, Bing have been struggling for years but they're still sticking with it. They waited until it was clear that it couldn't be salvaged before killing Windows phone. And XBOX also had a tough start, and was bleeding money for years.

Half of the problem is that Google kills product before giving them a chance. The other half is that they launch new product randomly "to see what sticks", instead of focusing on a strategy.
The opposite of inspiring. Not listening to your body is not cool.

Fully agree with your other advice though.

One trick is to shift your shit giving to something outside of work. It can be a hobby, side projects, travel or people. For example, if you are in software, start some side projects. These can be simply trying out new FOSS tools and reporting bugs. Better yet, see if you can use these tools for work. Working on FOSS tools can give you autonomy and enrich you with confidence and provide enough distraction from painful thoughts at work.
> a child who was constantly on the verge of getting in trouble with their abusive parent

That sentence says a lot about the current cultural climate (at least in the U.S. I'm guessing). Part of the abuse is that it's illogical or unpredictable, so you never know what triggers the parent/partner's anger, and when the pain/punishment will be delivered. It makes it risky to express any opinion - so the only sure way to not offend anyone is to stay silent. That stifles communication and discussion, except for narcissists who are illogically self-confident, often extreme on either side of the debate.

Ask HN: Do you regret deleting your social accounts?
Around 2015 I had enough of Facebook and Instagram so I deleted my accounts.

I was very active on Facebook, my profile hit the limit of 5000 "friends" and was getting "followers" and getting a lot of engagement. But I couldn't keep that account for all the reasons you can think of, and I permanently deleted it.

Before doing so, I redirected some friends to my WhatsApp or email to keep in touch.

However, from time to time I miss that feeling of validation as I post something and get a flood of instant gratification in form of likes and comments. I miss the ability to passively see how my friends lives are without it having to be an active conversation. I miss that feeling of connection and possibility.

I'm fully aware Facebook today isn't Facebook 2015 (even then it was going downhill) but I'm not sure how I can get that passive peek into my friends life and that validation back again on any modern platform.

A lot of phones can be connected to an external display via USB-C. Better supported than MHL (how many incompatible standards was MHL? 4?).

Samsung has "Dex", their android desktop interface.

Linux phones can generally offer a full DE, either the pinephone or Librem, or compatible phones that have a video out where you can install something likke postmarketos.

Most phones also support miracast, and you can plug in a mouse/keyboard. I think the Charging in + keyboard + mouse + video out is clearer with USB-C.
