They can go start their own Foundation (and those sort of people probably will do exactly that). GNU sounds silly anyway, and all the licenses are FOSS compatible. We've seen schisms already, that generally end well.

The Open Source people already did that at a grand scale, it was a massive success. Stallman's entire ideology is perfectly compatible with people doing a great job out-competing him at his own game. We would be lucky to have multiple organisations working to promote freedom in the software world, in multiple different ways.

>I cannot parse this sentence. What does vista having its minimum requirements poorly defined have to do with being forced to develop on underpowered hardware?

Basically: An end-user has computer with 4GB of DDR3. Devs for <software> wrote for and tested on a machine with 64GB of DDR5. <Software> ends up running like shit on end-user's computer.

It isn't the end-user's problem that the software runs like shit, because the devs programmed to an unrealistic common denominator. The end-user is going to find <software> that doesn't run like shit on his computer, and the devs only have themselves to blame for losing a customer because they were so out of tune with reality.
From a quick look at the repository: his last comment on an issue was 8 hours ago and his last commit was in July.

They do have video streaming down. YouTube is still a great product IMO.
Basically, the choice of DB is different, relational vs analytical DB. IMO clickhouse should be better at ingestion rate and aggregation queries.
The world has also learned a great deal from Tom Silva on This Old House, does that set the precedent to be called "Dr. of Carpentry"?

It’s barely happened to anyone. There isn’t a general pattern of automation replacing jobs, so it’s not a reasonable thing to assume will happen.

Automation replaces tasks and makes things cheaper, both of which make jobs more productive and more worth keeping.

I so wish umatrix maintenance was restarted. Hopefully someone capable will. I'd donate money to that effort. While ublock origin is nice, umatrix is so much better.
This is such a great point. Google has been coasting on android for years now, pixel has some cool phone features (call transcription, navigating phone trees) but those aren’t shared to the wider android market and virtually everything else comes down to, let’s make a better camera. The whole reason they created android was to prevent Microsoft from winning the mobile space.

Making sure the other guy loses isn’t great motivation to do anything. Especially once the “other guy” has lost. Google isn’t especially excited by OS, because their bread and butter is all in the cloud they just don’t have the institutional energy to care about consumer software for the consumer’s sake. It’s always looked at through the lens of how it will help advertisers and since the zeitgeist for the last few years has been about privacy as it relates to personal devices, they can’t really “innovate” much without hurting their core business.
Search was full of low-hanging fruit. TF-IDF was well-known. PageRank less so but when the nascent internet has so much signal-to-noise it’s often hard to go wrong. Execution was key—- especially compute efficiency—- but a lot of those are nerdy problems detached from real people. Which is wear Google does well.

Stadia was a rich technical problem with an application area that’s accessible to Googlers. Even if Googlers don’t video game, real life is a game to them. But Stadia failed because it lacked the artistic passion behind Nintendo and the best gaming studios.

If Google set themselves up like McKinsey—- i.e. turn their engineering workforce into a contracting service—- then Google might be able to contribute to a real product. But Googlers just don’t care about people. They care about puzzles and systematicity.
I know someone who does this. She also refers to other people with PhDs as "Dr" even if they don't typically refer to themselves that way.

I suspect it's some sort of cultural thing, and that with how much computer people tend to reject typical forms of formality we're just mostly on the far opposite side of whatever cultural thing it is.

Could it be that many “solo” founded businesses never make it out of the garage stage, never incorporate, don’t pass go and their data is not being tracked?

Or perhaps, the meme exists to mitigate risk for VCs. Just in case the founder they invested a billion dollars into gets hit by a bus. (A non zero chance)

I agree that team conflict harms many companies, and is often cited as a common reason for startups failing.

However, I like to say starting a business is like raising a child, the child benefits from have two parents compared to one, But a village is even better.

Now that I think about it, Stadia launched into an extremely favourable market where both GPUs and next-gen consoles were unobtainium and 'price drops' are a thing of legend, but they still couldn't make it work. Any other time without that advantage and they'd have failed even harder.
The government has a special program for "temporary foreign workers" that has historically been used to staff Tim Hortons and nursing homes.

+1 about the well written copy. What's old is new again :). Maybe people will return back to individual hobby forums/BBSs.

It’s pretty interesting actually you can see exactly where Elon is focusing based on what’s going on at each company. The fact that Tesla has failed to output a new car or really innovate much lately, and spacex appears to be stuck in a morass of engine troubles for their latest big rockets, tells you how much he’s taken his eye off the ball.

Yes, if you’re lazy or you want to quickly switch some services on/off, I suggest you the great app: Pi-Hole Remote (https://rocketscience-it.nl), there's a handy list with all of the privacy intrusive services (regex) that you can turn on/off with a switch (screenshot https://ibb.co/fNDyq36)
I only remember a couple of gross violations, both in the early days: apple macbook charger and the Nintendo switch.

I think things have quieted down since. Of course that is due to the limited choice in chipsets (cartel? Or just bc nobody wants to design a complex, low margin part?). But nowadays dodgy mfrs can compete on who can electrocute or set alight the customer to save a couple of pennies, but the protocol conformance will be outsourced.
The thinking around a similar (but more mature) project, tRPC is interesting around this. They're very clear about the fact that it's designed for tightly coupled typescript web app monorepos. I believe the creator even was talking about the name not being ideal, but it might be too late to change.

Aside from maybe being able to generate an OpenAPI spec (something that the tRPC community is working on), it's just going to fall apart outside of web apps.

But for those developers it's great for eliminating this weird step where we need to think about all our data going into a completely unstructured string (json) when going between our server and client. For most full stack JS/TS apps that's all you need.
They are minor because they are ultimately issues concerning money, and issues concerning money can ALWAYS be solved given enough political and social will.

Compare, say, multiple separate groups of people and cultures sitting next to each other who may or may not like each others' company as a consequence of aggressive immigration policies. You can't just throw more money at such a problem to make all the ills go away, such problems that we can't just zap away are major problems meriting more serious concern and attention.
A lot of people will walk more than 100 meters to have an ice cream worth $3. A phone worth $1k+ (stupid), might be worth a stroll. That of course depends on the road and safety etc, I only mention this last point to save you using it as a empty retort.

From the article they just label the maximum power, which the author called “speed”.
I’m surprised no one has called you out. An e-bike is a motorized vehicle, you should not be in bike lanes. Just like electric scooters and such should not be on sidewalks. E-bikes trivially go 30mph and can carry substantial weight as your pointed out. May as well just let motorbikes at that point.

One of my disappointments is that Richard Stallman fails to see the big picture of people should care about free software. He’s a hacker so he feels like the best way to sell his position is “ok you can have the source and edit it”. But to the vast majority of humanity this is basically irrelevant! They can’t code, the don’t want to code, having access to the code is “basically useless”. The things people actually want: accessibility, data portability, privacy, agency-they’re all as relevant and universal as ever. But the GNU and RMS remain dead set on “oh we’ve got to push everyone to adopt the GPL”, which I respect but fundamentally ends up being an ineffective use of resources. When you train a pubic to care about free software and understands why they need it, that’s how you get true freedom. Leaning into the fringe appearance, and definitely continuing to remain socially inept if not entirely inappropriate, is just shooting yourself in the foot.
No surprise that the etherium developer (yes, I've looked at yr linked bio) throws in the 'governance' canard, i.e. control software projects through power games, rather than by free association (support a project or fork it).

Free Software is not about governance; it's pretty much a complete antithesis to such power structures. Communities voluntarily coalesce around software projects with a core developer group. Don't like the group, fork the code; don't attempt a takeover/coup and if you do, or agitate for one, then you've revealed your true colours and that community will now see you as a hostile threat to their project.
Doubt.

It's maybe possible that LSD (and per the article, LSD-like chemicals) has a chemical effect on depression, but based on the fact that MANY different psycadelics exhibit similar anti depression abilities, it seems more likely that it is the actual experience of the trip that confers most of the benefit.
Even if I have a relationship with someone where this is well understood, I still think it's helpful to preface these kinds of blocks of text with something like "Hey, nothing high priority here, so you can take your time before getting back to me"
There is rarely a single answer for what is "intuitive" UX, everybody's opinions may differ. So either you're going to disagree with the AI sometimes (making it unpredictable) or the AI needs to read your mind (we don't have this technology yet)
That 175 mil / year allowed for 24x7x365 days of observations. The 85 mil for this aircraft allows for what 12 x 3 hours of observations?
It is illegal to sexually harass women in the workplace. Gather all the evidence you have and send it to the district attorney and he will be given a fair trial at a court of law.
I considered that as well but Russia would probably brush off just about any conventional response, even if it was significant like reducing Kalingrad to rubble. Adding in China fully cutting them off might get close, but there would be little way to prevent them from resuming business a few months later.

All in all, it's dangerous to let a deranged enemy think that the consequences for the use of nuclear weapons might be anything less than a nuclear response - allows them to think that it's a game of calculus that can be turned in their favor.
To rephrase the statement more strongly: It's okay to use tools written by people who have done awful things.

That seems entirely reasonable to me.
Nothing, for the most part. Stuff that gets downloaded ends up in Downloads. Stuff that gets created in a local document-creating app ends up in Documents. Photos end up in My Pictures (or not even, as most people just leave them on their phone now and do cloud sync).

When they want to find stuff, they just search for it in the file picker. Or hopefully the file picker is just already in the right place. Often this UX is kinda bad, and it's hard to find things. Sometimes they give up, and either do without, or (if applicable) visit a website to just re-download whatever they can't find. Or they ask a technically-adept friend to help them.

Carefully creating a directory hierarchy and actively picking and choosing where to put things when downloading or saving files is just not a thing most people do.
I’ve worked with a handful of people with PhDs, that I know of, and about half of them signed off that way. One or two really wanted you to know about it.
Ask HN: Setup for home recording and DAW on windows

Then I hope you described IDE autocomplete as "miraculous" as well. It's certainly saving me more time than copilot, that's for sure.
How about a revamped scope on a different, modern aircraft that has vastly less costs to operate? That might be more financially possible.
They are not "operating" in any official capacity. They are just there, doing their "persuasion." Remember the USA and Europe have good free speech laws that will protect those "persuasion."

Even with police cooperation agreements in place, they don't have the usual police power like arresting anyone.

A NYT article from back in 2016 says,

> In 2014 […] That was the year the two countries signed a bilateral police cooperation agreement, the first of its kind between China and a European nation.

> The Chinese officers do not have arrest powers in Italy, but they are paired with Italian officers who could arrest someone, except no arrests have been needed.

There were no real search engine back then. Those sites were just curated list of websites. Google was the first one to crawl the whole web and made it possible to find them.
That's why you spread your questions out, so no one person knows everything you don't know
I work on camera algorithms full time and do Ethereum stuff in my free time, not sure that's relevant though.

Like it or not, FSF has governance and power structures. The GNU project power structure is very top heavy, effectively a dictatorship. I believe dictatorships are bad so I'll continue advocating for GNU to change.

Interestingly the approach to cooperation you're describing (if you don't like it, fork it) is actually the same as OG crypto Bitcoin people. IMO it's not conducive to good outcomes and most of the crypto world has embraced processes that lead to consensus building and more inclusivity (although clearly not perfect yet).
The man is right about a lot of things but the GCC thing isn't one of them. First time I read those emails it permanently changed the way I looked at GNU software. Now I always wonder if they crippled something on purpose every time I run into any difficulty. For example, is this the reason why GCC is unable to output source file dependency data in anything but makefile format? That would make so much sense.
I believe “Azure” includes simply hosting some ppl’s legacy systems in dedicated servers (a State Farm no longer has to have sysadmins or hardware on its balance sheet) and even “on prem azure” which is…you still have your own computers!
Moreover, it is completely aligned with how Stallman operates. Most people do not have doctorates, so universities and recipients can arbitrage the "doctorate" title by a socially acceptable lie wherein the recipient understands to not use it like one. Stallman doesn't do socially acceptable lies. You either give him a doctorate and let him use it like one or you don't give him one. Socially acceptable lies where people "agree to disagree" are how principles get bent and if he were also this way he would have bent long ago.

I wish every CS curriculum had a mandatory course on the history of CS.

Covering how many times the same ideas have been "new" and then discarded as not useful, only to be rediscovered. It could help reduce the amount of churn in the industry, so we can move forward instead of forgetting and relearning the same things over and over.

Until he is criminally charged, I view such rumour mongering as simply a smear campaign against an innocent man. You can take a more "worried" view, but I believe we should hold more tightly to innocent-until-proven-guilty than is the norm these days.
Microsoft threw billions at it and became the third player. Sony also threw tons of money at it and succeeded. You don't need revolutionary ideas as a hardware publisher, you need the willingness to lose money for a long time to get a foothold.
Finite state machines are equivalent to finite automaton, but non finite state machines are not.

The most obvious difference is that a state machine can have infinite transitions and infinite states. The most obvious example is a counter machine that simply keep tracks of how many events it received.

Such state machines can be Turing complete, but also allow to add restrictions to limit their expressiveness

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushdown_automaton

Edit: to add more context Turing machines are essentially finite state machines with an unlimited memory attached and specific input events (the alphabet of the memory eg bits) and output states (move left/right, write, halt; with possibly multiple state for each output)
I’m really curious about the sequel: navigating through the ranks of a tech design Org.

I’ve been a Senior SWE at FANG and have considered switching careers to design. My parents fed the family doing photography, I grew up from a design background, even spent a year in fashion design school part-time while I was a programmer at Google.

Seeing the politics and the non-objective strifes in the design org at Google, the actual day-to-day of the job seems offputting for me. This is obviously the bias of an engineer who has the privilege of focusing on concrete and mostly objective problems. The vast majority of my friends are designers, tech and non tech, and everyone is strong minded if not outright stubborn. For engineers, the strong mindedness can be resolved through logical arguments. With design a lot of it is intuition and/or unfalsifiable. UX research schools purport to teach quantifying and following the data/user, but the characters I know from design schools always think they know better. I can tell you the designers I met at FANG were data-driven 50/50 of the time. When they were data-driven, it was just confirming their own biases.

I’m not saying there is no room for design intuition. That made Apple and it also got Snapchat pretty far, until it didn’t. Also Marissa Meyer era Google and, to some extent, AirBnB with their leaders being designers. But most of the salaried designers I met design out of ego and portfolio building, with service design for users being secondary. It’s arguably a harder incentive problem than with engineers. What’s changed in the tech industry since PG’s Painters and Hackers essay is that design is a lucrative job nowadays, and it attracts art snobs who a generation earlier looked down on engineers as poorly dressed nerds (and they still probably do). There are many aspects of design school such as critique and the self selectivity means some designers are arrogant, but the “niceness” culture of the tech industry forces them to hide it. With this is also a bit of art elitism, and so I’m curious about the journey of a self-taught designer through such ranks, now that actual design departments exist and it’s filled with art-trained designers rather than engineers with design sensibilities.
It doesn't, you still write frontend and backend separately, it just deals with the stuff in the middle for you.
I'm struggling to understand how the author of this page thought Stallman's "voluntary pedophilia is fine" statement would seem better with them providing the context that he wrote that in reference to a movement to lower the age of consent in the Netherlands to from 16 to 12 and from there eliminate it entirely.
