Put the checksums in a separate system such as the DNS. Use DNSSEC on your domains. Manage your DNS system as an isolated system (don't mix your HTTP/Email/Other stuff with your DNS provider). Now, users may verify the downloads you provide at your website by getting checksums from the DNS.

DANE may be of interest here as well:

If it says gimp.org it should go there and nowhere else.

Or at least validate ownership of the target domain.

If you’re not trying to capitalize on the community project then simply follow the demands. Put the name and domain in a non-profit and run your company on the side.

With AV1 video and AVIF browsers got buy-1-get-1-free deal. The video codec was a necessity, and decoding one frame from a slightly different flavor of MP4 container is a relatively minor addition.

AVIF is not as good as JPEG XL, but it's good enough to the point JXL is a nice to have rather than a burning need. For the same reason I don't expect WebP2 to go anywhere unless Google is willing to make it a compatibility headache for other vendors.

"Poor Dad, Rich Dad" was eye opening to me growing in a developing eastern european country. It is probably this book more than anything else that made me want to be an entrepreneur.
Isn't this the responsibility of the team choosing to use that project (transitively or directly)?

If this was a commercial vendor that went out of business, we wouldn't be discussing it. It would be a failure in the procurement process that didn't detect
(and risk manage) the supplier's insolvency.

The same due diligence should apply to open source projects. The benefit of open source is that it makes code escrow (and follow-on maintenance) a lot easier.
I think that is how it should work but it seems if one day you decide to stop supporting your software, or stop distributing it, then you get a "left-pad" or "log4j" situation and the whole world decides you owe them supported available software.
It doesn't matter, people still use checksums as a signal to verify if a download has been tampered with

I would not call creating an llc to do business in the US ‘trivial’.

At least not if you plan to be legally compliant with all the relevant regulations.

Never started one in France, so I can’t speak to that, but doing business in the US is much more than just forming an llc.

>Well, you haven’t. There is absolutely nothing in the current AI state of the art which points towards that. As many as been telling you, you are scared of ghosts.

It's called logic, there are no ghosts here. If improvements arrive incrementally as they have been for the last decade with milestones like Dall-E, GPT-3, Alpha Go, Deep Blue. These events form what's called an "upward trend". If you project that trend following mathematical statistical procedures with a trend line, you can "project" that line into the future. That is called a "linear projection".

That trend is far more mathematical, far more logical then any other evaluation you can come up with. Everything you have are just qualitative opinions. Literally I have time on the X-axis and "amount of things computers are able to do almost as good if not better then humans" on the Y-axis. That trend line flows back from, the inception of computing. Not just a decade of data but half a century. My conclusions are DATA driven. Your conclusions are just gut feelings.

If you deny this you are illogical. There is no other way of putting this.

>Did the loop make workers disappear? Did cameras made us stop painting?

Wtf is the loop? Did automation in factories make workers disappear? Did cameras make us stop painting?

The answer is yes. Many painters who use to go to peoples houses to paint portraits.... most of those occupations HAVE disappeared. Same with factory workers, automation wiped a lot of them out (aka disappeared). You can see the results of it today... the wealth inequality we see in the world is partly the result of technology.

You are in huge denial if you think technology doesn't make occupations disappear. This kind of thing is a Well known economic phenomenon NOT exclusive to AI. When technology improves workers in related fields become less. There are loads and loads of quantitative line graphs with trend lines that show this and economists who can back it up.

>What you wrote were written in exactly the same way for all these innovations. You will pass, progress will march on.

What do you mean I will pass? Of course progress will march on. There's NOTHING anyone can do to stop it. AI will steam roll entire industries including eventually itself. You already have ML building models and ML training itself.

You're like a climate denier. I'm saying global warming is inevitable. It will happen. There is nothing left humanity can do to change the current trend. You're saying there is no trend. No evidence. No data within the last century at all. Not to be insulting but this is total and complete blindness. Literally I am describing to you trend lines and data points and you're unable to see how biased you are.

>I wasn't aware Republicans were being suppressed for their desire for a more conservative economic policy, smaller government, and lower taxes.

That would be a pretty simplistic view of the republicans. Sure seems to be a faulty generalization fallacy to me.

>Or...which Republican ideas do you see being suppressed online.

Not many anymore. They realized their voices were suppressed and moved to new platforms. Now their voices aren't suppressed and oh boy midterms not going well for the democrats.

> shouldn't our fuel bills be going down?

I believe the point is that the cost/kW to consumers has remained steady despite the large increase in the price of fossil fuels. See https://www.texaselectricityratings.com/resources/historical... (there has been a sharp increase this year, which counters the argument made, but otherwise steady since 2016).
I don't think that most requests by OSS users are unreasonable or unfair. Anyone who puts out code that is not perfect (i.e. all code) should expect there to be bug fix requests, support questions, documentation requests, and suggestions for new or better features.

But even if you say NO to the vast majority of requests, it generally requires some real time and effort to address each one. If the originator does not feel like 'maintaining' a project and their is no financial incentive for doing so; then I think that can be a big barrier for many projects and can prevent them from being open sourced to begin with.
Also in the same vein Dalrymple and Anita Anand have a podcast called Empire.
You mean US companies bowed to China but are afraid by EU, which is their military ally and economic partner?

This is arguably true of anything, and therefore not very interesting IMHO: any project could be better with more funding, any bug could have been avoided with more effort.

Unfortunately things have changed in a way that makes this route not viable. Forking a popular project maintained by a corporation is guaranteed failure, as people will look at github stars, number of existing users, and corporate backing itself as indicators of 'quality', while you have none.
Codecanyon quality is ridiculous. Mostly its wordpress stuff and generally its premium theming/plugin ecosystem is unfortunately hot garbage bought by developer-less agencies to use on clients once off.

If the former, try a college energy engineering or environmental engineering textbook. Or for hands on stuff, check out this wiki: appropedia.org

I work in the solar industry (as a dev) and have previously taken some of the coursework meant to prepare installers (NABCEP). An entry level PV certification takes about a full time week to learn, for example. Pretty thorough stuff covering the industry basics.

> The money is given with expectation of reward. If the bribing entity didn’t expect a direct reward, they wouldn’t give the money.

Let’s say a lobbyist for a nonprofit cancer research group has dinner with a representative and discusses reasons for (lobbies) him to vote for increased cancer research at this dinner. Is this bribery? Because it is lobbying. But under your definition of lobbying and bribing being equivalent terms, they are the same! And to call such an action bribery isn’t really making your case - it’s just nuking the utility of both of the words.

This is a problem with modern political discourse - all rhetoric is flattened. No - lobbying is lobbying. Bribing is bribing.

UChicago – material made like a plastic but conducts like metal
As someone with similar leanings, I used to wonder the same thing. I've been running my own company since 2001 and I've had a few engagements where I've been called in to resolve thorny problems for clients. In my experience, that work is inconsistent and based entirely on reputation. Additionally, bringing in another developer to fix a defect can cause a lot of friction with the client and is just generally problematic.

Management perspective: "These guys can't clean up their own mess. Let's go burn some more money with 0xf005ba11 to fix their screw-up."

Developer perspective: "I could have done exactly what 0xf005ba11 did if I just had a little more time and support."

I'd like to get better information, but google sure isn't finding me any, got a link that lists the fines issued per year?

And of course with that said, $27 million is nowhere near enough to hurt a company like NVIDIA, which pulls in SIX BILLION DOLLARS per quarter. Even if they slapped down a 30 million fine, that'd be less than half a day's revenue, and basically says "this is perfectly acceptable behaviour in our country, thank you for dining, here's the bill, no tip required, come again".

For megacorporations like NVIDIA, "a million" is not a big number, it's passive income that rolls in over a lunch break. Real fines for megacorps need to "b" rather than "m" to actually matter.
This should come with a warning. Vipassana and other meditation retreats have also caused profound psychosis in people. Be warned about an irreversible mental breakdown. Your mind is unnaturally put in a hyper insensitive environment that it is not meant to be in, nor is it designed to from an evolutionary standpoint. It is designed to stay alert with its environment and defend you from threats, seek mate/food. There were a bunch of posts about this on HN.

Lobbying is not supposed to be bribery. It was supposed to be a a legally protected avenue for the governed to communicate with their representatives in government.

It has become a channel for corruption, though. The solution, which may be entirely impossible, is to select better representatives. But requires being a better people in the first place.
I disagree about the text size. Completely. HN, like other sites, uses a font that's approximately the same size as other text on my screen. User interface elements, command prompts, text editors, ... . Essentially everything has that same approximate size.

Is that not the case on your system? Or if it is, why do you want websites to have a larger font than other text on your screen?

Oh hang on, I see you mention mobile devices. I was assuming reading on desktop. Yeah, that's a different matter. I can see how the text on HN is too small on mobile devices. It's easy enough to make the right size for both mobile and desktop though, I would think.
I was at the love parade in Duisburg in 2010 when IIRC 20 people died and over 500 were injured after too many people tried to rush through a tight ramp and it caused a mass panic. I think most of the victims literally suffocated from having their chests crushed.
Effective Onboarding at a New Job
My workflow to help retain all the new information in my new job, without getting too bogged down in productivity tools. Tried to keep it lightweight but happy to expand in the comments.
This is great advice. May as well try get hired in a contracting agency so they can allocate you to their clients and keep you with a steady stream of work. Most developers hate fixing bugs and would love to drop them on contractors.
The talk linked at the end is really interesting, even as someone who doesn't know anything about filesystems outside of the classic Unix they teach in school and reading a lot of deep discussions about tuning ZFS. (None of my ZFS users are strenuous enough to require any tuning but I can't help but learn and optimize when there are levers to pull).

It's interesting that it's implementing all these modern features on top of extent-based non-COW transactional btrees (though it looks like APFS is the same way). With the very database-like architecture at the low level, it would be fun to stick a SQL interface on top. You should be able to do advanced queries very efficiently without having to fall back to scanning every file in the directory like you would normally have to.

I'm salivating looking at the caching/tiering features. People often try to implement a tiered filesystem with ZFS L2ARC, SLOG, and now the special vdev. But none of those features were intended for that and it shows.

Availability is an important part of the CIA trifecta. A dependency being at the verge of being pulled at any time is a security issue by itself.

Not being able to build a fixed release for a vulnerability you discovered in your own code has a bigger impact than a theoretical vulnerability that results in... not getting feature and API updates?

The code author can release his code in whatever way he wants and he can take down all but the very latest version of his package if he wants. It just makes his package unusable as a dependency for any real-world applications.
Levin's quote from the end of Anna Karenina:

"""
“This new feeling has not changed me, has not made me happy and enlightened all of a sudden, as I had dreamed, just like the feeling for my child. There was no surprise in this either. Faith—or not faith—I don’t know what it is—but this feeling has come just as imperceptibly through suffering, and has taken firm root in my soul.

“I shall go on in the same way, losing my temper with Ivan the coachman, falling into angry discussions, expressing my opinions tactlessly; there will be still the same wall between the holy of holies of my soul and other people, even my wife; I shall still go on scolding her for my own terror, and being remorseful for it; I shall still be as unable to understand with my reason why I pray, and I shall still go on praying; but my life now, my whole life apart from anything that can happen to me, every minute of it is no more meaningless, as it was before, but it has the positive meaning of goodness, which I have the power to put into it.”
"""

There have been many times in my life where I have reflected on past behavior and things I've done and have been disappointed in myself. Yet no matter how much I try to change certain things, there are certain aspects that are just fundamental to who I am a person and I can't change. The best I can do is keep pushing forward and trying to be the best person I can be.

Ask HN: Anyone else dread the gift exchange part of Christmas?
I'm not a scrooge, I like Christmas. I like having some time off, being with family, having a nice meal.

The whole thing of exchanging gifts just fills me with dread. I know I'm going to get stuff I don't really need or want. I have my own money, if I need something I'll buy it for myself. At best it will be chocolate or alcohol, even though I'd like to stop drinking.

I suck at buying gifts for other people. I can buy gift cards but that's just transmuting money into something less valuable. I'll usually try to think of something I have in common with the person I'm buying for and buy a book or something, but from what it sounds like they usually get sent to the shelf graveyard.

I just feel like Christmas is excessively consumerist and wasteful. Not to mention all of this is creating excess pollution. Lots of us order things online, receive it in a cardboard box and plastic, unwrap it, only to wrap it back up in paper and plastic again. It's really silly.

I wish it was socially acceptable to say "don't buy me anything because I'm not buying you anything." My immediate family probably wouldn't take heed and my extended family definitely wouldn't. Then on Christmas Day I'll look like a real asshole, especially being a breadwinner.
Eh, look at PaulHoule's statement with some empathy.

I got bullied by a teacher, probably more, starting in fourth grade. I've written about it on this website. It can develop authority issues, trust issues, or both. It's a lifetime of work to undo those things.

Similar to people posting their stories with names with the hope for justice in some form or fashion, suing someone puts the details out for bare. He would likely never get the state government to actually repeal pensions, but he would get to tell his story in a media that people would definitely be paying attention to.

There's a valid question of whether any of the approaches above are healthy for a society. I'd venture to say no, but that is the way our society is.

There’s nothing preventing talking to facilities and the architect, too.

And they are stakeholders in the project in addition to their expertise.

Money spent on design tends toward money well spent and expanding the design scope is how institutions and architects work together over the long term…neither side wants a good relationship to go dormant.
