I support free world. There was a hope that globalization, the free trade, will lead us toward this but I think we have failed in part. It gave bad actors like China and Russia resources to act against the idea of free world.

I think that the model of European Union is still promising. It could even sustain more national independence. Nothing would break fundamentally when for example Catalonia became independent (from Spain) within European Union - there will be still free trade, there will be still freedom of movement.
That's obviously not the case when poverty levels are decreasing over time along with social trust.
Anybody who has gone to college knows that students say dumb stuff - it's a part of the learning process. So long as it's not physically or psychological harmful, I think folks should let it play out. Healthy normalization is better than forced normalization.
Flatpak has a concept of shared base layers, so if you update frequently you might notice 'org.gnome.Sdk' or whatever getting updated. This is a way to handle lots of the most popular shared dependencies.

Besides, sufficiently quality minded projects always wind up vendoring all of their dependencies anyway. There's a reason Chrome has their own fork of everything down to the compiler.
It's been time for that for a while now.

Sandboxing and distro-agnostic packaging are definitely the way to go. They have some pain points but it's better to fix those than to go back to the older way of doing things.

"We have given away $40 billion in the last 10 years ... and haven't solved the problem," said Tom Wheeler, who was FCC chairman in Obama's administration.

It is very likely that many billions of that and subsequent subsidies have simply disappeared without anything to show for it, to the point of it being outright fraud. Nobody in the US seems to have the balls to recover this money.

I still can't believe that twitter never had a dev/test environment.

> If the accused were guilty, then they'd already know who the victim is and already know who the accuser is

That’s only true if the accused knows the potential accusers and there is a small enough number of potential accusers that it could be reasonably narrowed down.
You're right. For an at least somewhat effortful, complicating feature like that to have made it out to release, it leaves the emergent sensibility of the organization in doubt.
If you think of the headcount for "private servers", and assume 0 overlap, then private servers tend to have in worst case, 1 staff member per 100 players. Can you imagine any large developer employing a team 1% of the size of their playerbase for community moderation? Wouldn't happen. More likely they have like 10 support people and 3 devs on their anti-cheat team for their million player game, so they need to rely on their technical measures and stick their fingers in their ears as to the existence of false positives and the inevitable loss of that cat and mouse game in long running titles.
The biggest point here is messing with web content… don’t change content without consent- ddg are doing this here!
Absolutely not.

I must be honest, I don't particularly care about competitive multiplayer but I do hate cheats and griefers.

But I don't like overly broad bans based on flawed heuristics either. Or restrictions on software that I "own" and want to use in sensible ways.
I guess I don't exactly understand as my experience is quite different. I have recruiters beating down my LinkedIn and email literally every day for pretty decent jobs.
In many places, cops will nearly always show up when called. I left an 8 year old kid in a car (parked in the shade) for 5 minutes when running an errand and as I was getting in the car, a cop showed up. Someone had called 911. Cop asked how old the kid was, I said "8" and they rolled their eyes and left.
It's important to point out that while these laws are showing up on the books, it can do little when the community or police department get involved: https://reason.com/2022/11/16/suburban-mom-jailed-handcuffed...

In this case, Texas had protections for "free range parenting", but that only applied to CPS. The local police department still threw the book at the parents as retaliation.

I think people need to realize that police departments themselves have a hand in propagating these myths. Terms like "sex trafficking" are loosely defined and used freely to convey a danger that is almost completely fabricated - that children are abducted off of their own lawn by complete strangers.

The reality is that the vast, vast majority of both child abductions and sex trafficking are done by people the children know, and completely unrelated from each other. And few of the these cases are actually solved by police!

And yet we are all victims of a kind of PR ruse intended to steer resources to a specific set of government agencies tilting after hypothetical problems.
Why would I care? Ok Spotify has an old package with some vulnerabilities in it. But flatpak has it sandboxed so the worst you could do is maybe steal my Spotify session token. That's more a problem for Spotify than it is for me. They will go and fix their package and I will reset my sessions.

Meanwhile we have distros lagging behind for years to provide a new package because they can't break all the things depending on the old version.
That’s the joy of working remotely. But do you really hang out with your friends everyday? Serious question, I’m older and most of my friends are married with families (as am I). If we see each other, it’s well planned out and on the weekend.

Even when I was single, I had friends all across the Atlanta metro area and we still ended up having to drive an hour to see each other.

But it’s been a long time since I was single, and I will admit in my single days, work and my social life was intermixed so heavily that we would have all (male and female) ended up in HR today.
I've had this need to render just part of a mermaid graph, and I thought of creating a parser to do it. Basically I'd like to render just the part of the graph that flows through a particular node.

Before I go off and write my own parser using this grammar, would it be practical to do this in mermaid's parser already?

They're not really user-hostile, they just have limited development resources and making a polished interface for editing the positioning of top bar widgets would be way too much work. If you want to try things on your own, that's what unofficial extensions and tweaking tools are for.
I've certainly ran into cheating on both Xbox Live and PSN. My friends who play Mario Kart and Splatoon online on the Nintendo side tell me it's quite bad there too.
> If an AWS employee commits fraud as part of his employment which results in a financial loss for a client, the employee will be criminally liable, but amazon will be financially liable to the client. Why would it be different for a police department?

It will be different because of QI: the reason Amazon will be legally liable is that the individual employee is legally liable in the first instance, and Amazon is jointly and severally liable for the employee’s liability (and a much more attractive litigation target, because you can’t squeeze blood from a stone but you can squeeze money from a trillion dollar corporation) because of the legal principal of respondeat superior.

When someone tells me something that's been happening for a long time is suddenly going to stop happening, it's most believable when they present evidence that is the case.

Being that humans have been cheaters in one way or another in significant numbers. For example modern infidelity figures are around 25% based on surveys. Somehow I just don't think your statement here is backed up by observation.
Give me your lunch money!

No, that doesn't sound right.

Other than gangs recruiting young and something accidental (kid caught in crossfire), I agree, I can’t see the very young being targeted.
Kind of. The bigger problem you will have if you try this is that the audio is not clocked by the system clock, and the audio clock is almost always free-running (and even if it were derived from the system clock, NTP et al don't generally discipline the clock itself, just the OS's presentation of it). So in the case of a long running playback (or continuous, as in this case), you will drift out of sync over time, and it doesn't take that long to become noticeable. And at some point you'll either start dropping out due to either buffer underflow or buffer overflow. So you do still need to take care about this.

So to work well you do need to resync the audio to the local audio clock using a sample rate converter, or build some custom hardware that lets you sync the playback audio clocks somehow. Or if you want to be sloppy about it, keep close track and stuff or drop individual samples as you drift.

But yeah, this is all more or less 'solved'.
Thank you, but this is actually discussed in the summary that I provided and they come to very different conclusion. The main issue for Stalin was resistance of Ukrainians - they refused to starve to death.

Haha, if only it was $8k one-and-done, but if you're using it for more than just the IDE but also delivering binaries with it, hope you like paying runtime license fees depending on how your application is used: https://franz.com/products/licensing/commercial.lhtml Yes, there are times this makes sense to pay anyway (it's still not uncommon for game engines for example), but it's a lot to ask for outside of those times especially given the competition.
I'll believe it once Pinecone becomes open source. This lack of transparency is why I prefer other vector databases such as Vespa, Milvus, etc.

Edit: While I do appreciate Pinecone's free tier and understand that it's great for small projects and the vector search community in general, the performance really sucks.
Flatpak is essentially RedHat/IBM tech. Why should Canonical even think about supporting their competitors. Just because multi billion corps like RedHat/IBM have the audacity to ask for donations to develop their products doesn't mean Flatpaks are in any way neutral territory.
What does race have anything to do with this? Unless you believe diversity somehow leads to insane laws....
There's no reason why a multi-racial society can't let their kids go out to play. Being multi-racial doesn't mean a country has to turn itself into a shit hole. Moreover, if it's because the races hate each other, then stop encouraging the hate.
Also at Amazon currently. Similar situation; I have coworkers across all timezones in the contiguous US.
> trespass and private property are not a thing

So do you admit that if a private company forces you to have troops in your house, without your permission, this is still bad even though it is not literally the government doing it?

If you answer "yes, this is still bad, even though it's not the government" then congratulations you now understand the argument!

The argument is that people saying "well, it's OK because it's not the government doing it, it's a private corporation" are stupid.

Now, question for you. Did you read the original comment and really not come to this obvious conclusion/explanation of the argument?

It's seems like super obvious that the person was making fun of people who claim that something is OK because a private corporation is doing it.

And they are using a funny example of "well what if a corporation forced you to have soldiers in your house".

That funny example, makes the point pretty easy to understand.

We recently moved to a paid app model with a 30-day free trial available (from a freemium app model).

Understand that this is not as appealing as a free-forever product. We found that we had hundreds of thousands of free users and not enough paid users. After developing the app for many years under this model, we had to make some changes so that we could continue to fund the ongoing app development and updates.

The notification prompt can also be declined in the alert that appears; though we could make this more obvious with a clear 'Skip' button.
I think it's better to let the person who made the comment explain it, since you may or may not understand what they meant by it. No offense, but I felt your interpretation of it confused rather than clarified the issue.
Well that might explain why I wasted the last hour trying to get an upload validated. Good thing I came here to procrastinate.
Works that way with lots of things. My kid gets a pretty generous existence off ~10% of our post-tax salaries. Not because we are rich, we just don't waste money.

In a divorce, the state says I would need to pay 20% pre-tax (like 30% post-tax) or go to fucking jail. There's no rational reason why the kid is always going to need 3x the money in a divorce, and that reason be so dire it's worth throwing someone in jail for not paying it. The reason turns out the state gets benefits based on both the small administrative cut and based on the amount of child support outlays.
I'd bet operators of major conferencing software have a pretty good idea of how well ISP connections work nationwide. Aggregated (or even maybe not) they would paint a very accurate picture. Now we just need to get someone in government, who will probably become a lobbyist after, to care.

I think the issue is that you don’t get to choose. Just because your city is walkable doen’t mean you need to walk everywhere.

These sort of protections are fine until they trigger on legitimate installations. Red Alert 2 has a copy protection mechanism that destroyed all of your buildings a minute into the game, but it is notorious for triggering on legitimate installations of the game. I've seen it happen in the original release (even on a fresh Windows install when I was attempting to resolve this issue), The First Decade rerelease, and the Origin release.
I wish this were more common. This is how games should be made and played, imo.
Ask HN: Ex-users of CentOS, what do you run now?
Are you still on CentOS?

Did you try AlmaLinux?

Did you try Rocky Linux?

Which distro did you land on as a replacement for CentOS on your servers?

How did you end up at the choice, and do you think you are likely to continue to run that distro?

It’s been roughly two years since RedHat terminated development of CentOS. It’d be interesting to know where people in the HN crowd who used to rely on CentOS have turned to since then.
Kupe it was. That was expensive enough, I don't even what to know what SV cost.
Meta: Often reminded how hard being a funded CEO must be.

On one hand, he (CEO who replied here) probably has investors pushing and prodding about getting a return on the $172,000,000 (+?) that has been invested into the company.

On the other hand, users are so easily spooked by moves like this (often rightly) and attack the company. This isn't even that bad of a case, though.
Very limited opinion. Having looked into fine tuning Whisper and GPT, it looked to be a fiddly thing. The training isn’t as robust as the inference. Makes sense, it’s running at a different scale. You can manually check models before you release them. But that would put the cost at a different scale than $10/month.

My takeaway was that it’s very easy to mess up a model by fine tuning. You can overfit or have rapid degradation. Again, this is just reading about other experiences on other software, so maybe that’s not the case here.
I just wanted to chime in and say thank you for taking the time to come explain. The HN audience can be quite unforgiving, especially those who comment on things like this, but there are a lot of us who read what you say and understand where you're coming from. I personally very much appreciate your consistency in responding reasonably to complaints.

For myself, the pictures from OP looked much more like an onboarding tutorial for the extension's features than they did an ad, and I suspect that's how most people would react.
Don't worry I'm the same!

If you use an ad blocker for a long time, it's easy to forget how bad the web can be without one.
Speaking for a friend. Yes there is, but quietly and slowly bootstrapped without publicity. Life events got in my friend's way so it's just as well they didn't take funding those years ago. VC in the UK is a pale shadow of VC in San Francisco anyway.

Very similar goals, including fab suitable for low-NRE open source hardware design iterations, but grander vision: making more of the hardware tools as well instead of purchasing them, building a stack that is not silicon-specific, extensive use of physics simulation and feedback to design specialised toolchains. That is partly because bootstrap finance requires inventing cheaper tooling than is available on the market, not just cheaper lithography.

Atomic Semi will almost certainly get their faster due to funding, better network, more pragmatism, track record of the people involved, and location. But friend's thing might go further into advanced and novel capabilities, eventually, if they continue with it.

Interestingly, their original goal was to stimulate a culture of open source hardware at the lower levels by providing a service to fabricate new designs at low cost, the way that has already happened with software, i.e. anyone can learn it in their bedroom and take it as far as their skills permit, causing a significant change of culture and knowledge sharing. That goal doesn't seem to be needed any more because of the Efabless-Skywater-Google collaboration making hobby-level ASIC fabrication available for free, and the rapid increase in available open source hardware design tools at steadily higher quality. And things like Atomic Semi emerging. The culture has already changed.
I disagree with this stance. There's plenty of room for commercial FOSS. Disclaimer -- I have commercial FOSS on the market.

However, I don't really understand why something like Flathub is needed in order to sell it. That's not been a major issue in my experience.

Is the main point to provide a payment processing service?
Are South Korea and Japan similar?
I used to play competitive Search and Destroy on PC in Call of Duty. I clocked up a few thousand hours of online multiplayer play during a mis-spent 5 years as a student. I’d often get accused of cheating in casual online games - to the point where it became tedious to even acknowledge the accusations.
My point is: often people think others are cheating when in reality they are just really good because they have spent thousands of hours playing.
In the hots casual 'lobby' aka quick match, you often don't have enough players of similar skill level, so the match maker tries to create balanced teams with quite a large mmr spread. There are many ways this goes wrong, but the end result is your winrate tends towards 50% because that's what the match maker is trying to do. It performs very badly at this and so you can have big streaks and bad quality matches for an extended period of time.
> It's not unlike asking Dall-E to draw DOT compliant road signs.

I love that. That's going to be my new explanation for people around ChatGPT.

For some reason it seems so much more obvious when Dall-E does something close but still totally wrong (e.g. 3 or 6 fingers, 3 arms, etc.), but it's not immediately obvious with text. But it's still the same underlying principles.
The original post wasn't saying that the bill of rights binds the behavior of this school in this case, but pointing out that the reason that's protected as a fundamental right in our constitution is that, given cover of anonymity, accusations are highly weaponizable—that's the reason that's included as a fundamental, enumerated right—which fact will apply to most any institution, whether or not it's legally required to allow one to face one's accuser.
