Countering progressive over-reach is not the same as being right-wing.
As the container is the result of a build process, unless the tools aren't the build tools themselves, the whole container should be treated dark matter and just rebuild. It's process, not state.
So why all those things?

Why do people use an HN app? I never knew they existed because, to me, the website is almost perfect.
as much as I’d like, not happening yet. The closest pathway I’ve seen as a mostly web developer is GitHub’s hosted VSCode paired with Codespaces. I haven’t cared enough to try them together yet. My use case would be the ability to work from new places without the bulk and battery concern of an actual laptop. But after switching my laptop to a M2 Air, even those concerns are invalidated.

To anybody who wants a smaller working setup, check out the M2 Air. It’s a refreshing change from the MacBook status quo of warm laps and having to find a plug every few hours
It's so refreshing to be reminded that much of what we're looking at may just be the equivalent of useless self help books. Nobody goes broke oversimplifying problems and selling cheap fixes, and as technologists who have seen the power of technologies to exceed the power of magic, we're vulnerable to believing too much. Churn is not progress, and easy is rarely right.

Thanks for the reality check.
I used it for a very long time and I loved it.
Switched to Bear then to craft a few months ago.
craft.do is the best app I’ve ever used. Kind of a different concept but really amazing once used for a few days
In many other countries they offer official translations, and the government body will bear the cost of interpreting.

Germany is almost uniquely hostile to foreigners in this regard.
Why would the police even listen to them though? Maybe they consider them as possible suspects?
The article states SBF spent less than twice that. What is your ratio to be called chump change?
Great project. Looks awesome. I prefer to do most (if not all) of my UI design work in LIGMA, however.
This is naive. Post WWII was a boom because the US economy basically got to rebuild the world since all of the other industries in other countries were destroyed by war. There was zero global competition and massive demand.

Unless you’re suggesting we replicate another world war to wipe out most of the competition, looking to some stupid domestic post war policies won’t do jack shit.
That was certainly his M.O. in Flash Boys (IEX), Moneyball (Beane), The Big Short (Eisman and Burry), and The Blind Side (Sean Tuohy).

But, look: just wait and see what develops from this, and see if it acknowledges Lewis' role in building up SBF's profile, even after he announced to the world that he was literally in the Ponzi business.
But using tropes is not a bad thing in general, or what would you say?
I think I kinda know what is low quality without looking at TV tropes beforehand.
I’ve been thinking of doing this for an automatic WFH / in office screen at work, somehow tied into a cell phone / corporate login status… Thanks for the link!
All the Palestinians are waiting for that day, the day where the illegal apartheid occupation falls.
> Where the critique doesn't make sense is trying to say these issues are specific to FOSS

This is just not a logical reading of his argument. He is saying FOSS is necessary but not sufficient. His argument can clearly only apply to FOSS and doesn’t apply to other kinds of software.

> Saying that's "not enough" is very entitled, and missing the point.

Except that’s not what he’s saying. You are responding to the title of the piece but not that argument it makes.

He’s saying FOSS is not enough to empower people in general to hack on software and bend it to their will.

It’s not clear what you mean by ‘entitled’ in this context.
> Corporate, commercial software development, for money, and licensing software under pay-for-use terms, is how almost all software developers make money.

Most software by far is developed and supported in-house, not sold as a COTS product. For in-house software that doesn't see any broader distribution, the distinction between "open" and "proprietary" is pretty much immaterial. Even the comparatively strict GPL license allows for private modification.
WOW, what a read! I remember reading about Annie Besant in school. Historical events like these have a lot to teach us even today. With so many countries still running sweat shops with inhuman labour conditions it's increasingly important to be aware of the origin of a product. I recently had a training from my company about "Modern Slavery" and it was quite eye opening. We deal with it every day without even realising it.

What surprised me is the lack of any of it in the WikiPedia page of "Bryant and May". I'd have thought this was an important piece of information about their history. I've never edited anything on WikiPedia but will do my best add a section about it.
Convergence artifacts are due to the algorithm converging poorly. This is why it's a "pity" the interesting structure you see in the picture has nothing to do with the distribution of numbers and is just a bug in the algorithm that happens to look nice.

So no, it's not like the Mandelbrot set. It's more like if you wrote a script to visualize the Mandelbrot set and created a bug that made part of the visual you created look like there was an interesting structure by accident, then shared your pictures with a wide audience going "look at this interesting structure I found in the mandelbrot set!" and then someone replies on Twitter with "you have bug in line 124 and when I correct it the structure disappears". Which is why it's a pity.
On this topic: has anyone seen a web game with anything beyond a rudimentary UI that’s in canvas?

For RPG inventory menus and management I love putting DOM on top of my canvas frame. I’m not sure I’ve seen any good examples of rich UIs in canvas, though I’m sure some exist.
I think the police have crazy people coming forward saying crazy things all the time and their response is somewhere between pretending to listen politely to sending them out on their ass.
Maybe Tracy Kidder would have done better.
I'm not sure. In Canada, Ontario at least, I noticed our liquor store always asks "Do you want your receipt?"

It's not a convenience question. Either they throw it away for you, or they put it in the bag and you throw it out yourself. Maybe even with the bag.

Then I realized, it could only be because they hope for you to agree to making the item no longer returnable. No receipt, no return. So you (potentially) only shoot yourself in the foot by saying no.
I always have a plain text editor open on my computer for relaying during copy-and-paste to wash out any rich format that may be attached to the text in clipboard.
> We don't really have contempt of court, mainly because we have a civil law

Contempt of court exists in civil law as well.
The amount of disagreement this individual testimony is generating is fascinating and frustrating to me.

I didn’t think it ever really makes sense to disagree with a comment like this, unless one is claiming that the content of your comment is intentionally untrue. Anyways, appreciate your perspective.
You know, being able to do all things human can do... with text input and text output?

Why does that reminds me of Unix Philosophy where everything is just text files?

I wonder if someone has experimented with one of the LLMs to get them to do Unix sysadmin jobs. It's not exactly outputting source codes, but Bash commands should be similar enough right?
Sure, but that's no more interesting than a ML generated picture of a cat with a speech bubble saying "I can has numbers?"
Unless imminent physical violence is being threatened, there should never be any police activity over speech.

To repeat, no human should ever be arrested or visited by police for speaking, typing, or posting anything anywhere.
It isn't crazy, it's idiotic. There's a delusional trap people fall into and can't see or think themselves out of it.

Most of these people, that I have met, aren't even productive at 'art' or their jobs, whatever they may be. It's always "if only"... then they would do all the things they claim
Lewis always pumps up the person he "embeds" with on a story. He writes puff pieces disguised as hard-hitting reporting.
Organizer for tech conferences [0]. If you operate an event venue as a former engineer the attendees will thank you. You also save on costs because you can self-host most of the tech stack.

I mean this used to be true. But for years and years now RAM capacity hasn't meaningfully changed. My first laptop almost 10 years ago now had 8gb of memory. And I now have 16gb of which I'm currently using only 3.1gb, while running chrome, slack, thunderbird, vs code and telegram. I would be fine with 8gb as well.

The point being that memory upgrades to increase capacity is really not important anymore due to capacity having stagnated for the most part.
There are plenty of foreign companies listed on American stock exchanges using “American Depository Receipts”: for example the 100 billion dollar German company SAP is listed as an ADR on the NYSE (although not NASDAQ, sorry) https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/SAP

There is a list of 460 foreign companies cross listed on US stock exchanges, and that list includes a handful of german companies, although somewhere else said that there are 21 German companies listed using ADR, so perhaps the list is incomplete? https://stockmarketmba.com/listofadrs.php
Are we sure the star wars comparison corroborates it? From my reading of that quote it was calling SBF Luke Skywalker - which may even suggest that Michael Lewis doesn't think he is evil. Binance is the empire here, no?

To take that even further, by using a social media channel as a means to post official communications, it becomes a quasi-governmental organization.

In the US, fax signatures are legally valid and scanned imagery is considered equivalent. A modified PDF is not sufficient.
Couldn't agree more with you. There are thousands of valid reasons for having a repairable laptop. But upgrade-able RAM is such a non-issue that it erodes the validity of the entire movement by people claiming it to be important.
Two items:

1. 0.14% of profit is not a rounding error.

2. The true cost is not the 1400€. It’s the time you waste dealing with it, your availability of which does not increase with revenue.

The extent of qualified immunity is a stain on this country, a corruption created by the judiciary. For it to be legal for the rule of law to not apply to a privileged class is to eat the rule of law from within. An authority that exempts itself from its own rules bleeds away its legitimacy.

One major factor in Britain was the Inclosures Act[1] which led to the dispossession and displacement of many peasants.

In my country, the Irish Potato Famine[2] forced many peasant farmers to leave the land as an alternative to disease and death. Since the industrial revolution only really took off in the north-east of the island, many emigrated to the industrialising cities of Britain and North America. The driving factor was that the natives did not have any rights to the land they farmed; ownership of land was concentrated in the hands of Anglo-Irish absentee landlords.

This situation was not unique in 19th Century Europe: the Prussian Junker[3] class had landed estates in much of the Baltic region, e.g., modern day Estonia and were not known for their humanitarianism. The lands of Polish farmers were owned by Prussians, Russians and Austrian landlords. Modern-day Czechia was ruled by the Austrian Empire and Slovakia by Hungarians. In Russia, the peasants were serfs as until 1861 when they were emancipated and (nominally) became free citizens[4].

For the other side of the pond, I suspect that the large numbers of Europeans emigrating to North America in the hope of a better life contributed to a surplus of labour, allowing industrial capitalists to get away with treating their workers so badly.

They need to file a DMCA counter claim. That absolves Google and the next step for the original claimant after that is court.
I don't think it's sarcasm.

I spent my teens/early 20s with the messages about "enthusiastic consent" overinternalized, to such a degree that I would ask permission for every little thing (even holding hands or a kiss). I now understand that, like many things, this can't be measured without changing it, so now I focus more on body language and other cues, and my partners and me both seem much happier.

I also have strong social anxiety, so that plays into it.
> Yeah, steroids are much more common than folks think, and nearly everyone lies about using them (why would you admit to use, what do you have to gain?).

I am sorry, but I don’t believe that to be true at all. In my environment, I have not encountered anyone who took steroids. Of course, it might have been hidden, but that would really surprise me. Perhaps you are speaking in the weightlifting/sports community?

I am in fifth decade of my life, and fortunately healthy and fit without any supplements, and I would be careful to take any in regard to the biochemical balance of my body.
> They are interested in passing laws that increase their power, and make people more dependent on government

That may be some peoples' interpretation.

But even if true (which I do not think it is) this is hardly the intent.

I don't disagree, because I prefer web things on the web myself, and the idea that app updates might be two steps away from the web version really irks me. But everyone has their routines. Some people like the self-contained feeling of everything being an app on the phone. Others prefer the self-contained feeling of everything being in the browser.

There is no general answer other than "choice," and given a choice, there will almost never be an option everyone agrees on.

One of the laziest apps I ever saw was a MOTD that literally only had 365 quotes that occasionally got updated. Is that a real app? It's not even a real web app. To someone, it's the bee's knees I guess. Not I. But kudos to whomever made coin on such a thing. I thought it would have been brilliantly underhanded to write a horoscope app that way.
One good reason would be the ability to play it offline.
I think the poster is referring to per capita. A quick search shows that Mississippi ($46.8k) has a higher gdp per capita then France($43.5k) but slightly lower than the UK ($47.3k). EU overall is ($38.2k)
If they were the engineers that could fix it, why haven't they?

His track record isn't particularly great on the idea of "embedding" != puff piece. Flash Boys was a puff piece for IEX, Moneyball for Beane, The Big Short for several hedge funds, and the list goes on.

He seems to pick up a skewed and biased perspective from people who don't have the full picture, and just run with it as though it is the full picture.

Your company will hire two people out of a candidate pool of 1,000. You're told that Well-connected Walter is one of those 1,000 and is guaranteed a job. Your hiring team is going to go through and interview the remaining 999 and find you the top candidate. After a month of interviewing, you are presented with your two new hires: Well-connected Walter and Meritocracy Mary. What are the chances that these two are actually the best two hires, rather than the best hire and a mediocre hire?
Yeah, I'm surprised that we have aftermarket firmware for phones and some embedded devices, but not for TVs or printers. Maybe the space is just more fragmented?
It’s amazing watching American politics talk about how not even the President is above the law but then watch news stories about Qualified Immunity.

If a President wanted to shoot someone on Fifth Avenue, maybe they should deputize themselves first.
> Yes, you need a tax accountant to do your taxes later […] It's normal in most countries.

What is not normal is the price tag attached to it. 1000-2000€ for a tax filing for a company with no profits (or not revenue, it’s all the same) can be called anything but normal. The reason for this is that in Germany the tax accounting prices are cartel-regulated.
> First of all, the usual suspects who rip off high quality open source projects have been known to just create a fork if the license changes (see Amazon and Elasticsearch).

Your moral connotations are backwards. Elastic did a bad thing by changing their product from a FOSS license to a proprietary license. Amazon did a good thing by forking the last FOSS version and maintaining that one. (Yes, it's weird to think of Amazon as the good guy, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.)
The new UI is almost tolerable, but the permissions and workflow systems I totally agree, a convoluted mess
> I don't think it's reasonable to expect an open-source maintainer to create a better development experience for you than the one they use themselves.

This is clearly true. I didn’t read him as demanding that. I think his point is that the fact that something is FOSS doesn’t alone imply that anyone else can actually do anything with it, so people should either not make that claim, or acknowledge what else is needed.
It seems that this is why the author (ex-googler) chose AGPL. It's FLOSS but also works as a barrier for them.
> Too bad that the parts of the human condition that actually matter don't occur at evolutionary timescales. Sure you can say that there's a good chance Homo Sapiens will be around in one form or another for hundreds of thousands more years but that could mean a population numbering in the thousands reduced to barbarity along with all its ills.

Welcome to reality. Evolution doesn't care which species is here or not or what form it takes, it's just the basic essence of adapting to new conditions.

> Sex hormones like testosterone fulfill many more functions than the name "sex hormone" implies. Like any hormone in the body they act as a form of chemical communication between a variety of systems. This topic is far too deep to get into in a comment so I suggest you do some reading on it.

Strawman argument ^ Sex hormones only came into being around 500 million years ago. That is the point I'm making. In another 10 billion years, whatever life exists at that point might look back in time to see this small little period of history where there were these things called "hormones" existed, before evolution got rid of them.
You prompted an idea I find fun: If film grains are randomly or chaotically distributed, and fractal over enough orders of magnitude, grain might not be error but a medium which interprets and conveys information differently, with unique advantages.

But now I'm afraid I sound like an audiophile who buys wooden amp knobs for performance.

On more "high-minded" literary and media discussion sites, there are endless complaints about how TV Tropes ruined media criticism. On the one hand, they're not wrong. People will make idiotic statements such as "it's terrible because it has too many tropes" and then provide citations to all the tropes.

However, that site has introduced the idea of media criticism as a worthwhile endeavor in a way that most literature teachers cannot. Perhaps it's because people coming to TV Tropes do so when they're no longer fifteen and can visit on their own time.
Lots of note taking apps mentioned here. FSNotes (for Mac and iOS) is another alternative that works pretty well for keeping plain-text Markdown notes.
