It's just that your comment is simply so much more extreme that it took the focus away. I find that deplorable too.

> Mind you while Linux was taking off the BSDs were apparently busy in lawsuits. So, while the zeroing of distribution costs should've benefited them, it seems Linux was at the right place at the right time, minus the baggage.

There were other reasons. Reusing an older comment of mine (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32372063):

My favorite theory for why Linux got a head start is in this (long) comment I found some time ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21420338

Some excerpts:

"With Linux, I just booted from a Linux boot floppy with my Linux install CD in the CD-ROM drive, and ran the installation. With BSD...it could not find the drive because I had an IDE CD-ROM and it only supported SCSI."

"It insisted on being given a disk upon which it could completely repartition. [...] Linux, on the other hand, was happy to come second after my existing DOS/Windows."

"By the time the BSD people realized they really should be supporting IDE CD-ROM and get along with prior DOS/Windows on the same disk, Linux was way ahead."
> But I wonder if in the long term adding trace amounts of common allergens to many foods is a viable strategy?

You don't know when any random person will eat that food for the first (or second) time.
Thanks for the kind note. Lots of problems, but my central criticism would be: this is an interface which modally interrupts the user and requests a blocking operation, exactly when the user has indicated intent to perform a task in the app (i.e. when launching it or focusing it).

A better solution in most cases would be to integrate some kind of "update available" affordance into the window chrome, as many interfaces now do. And (with user consent) most apps should simply update themselves when they are not in active use. That is (again, with user consent), desktop apps should simply behave like SaaS apps.
> For the most part it's covered by contracts, terms, agreements, laws, and so on.

Actually, its mostly covered by the "laws" part, and the laws allow people to use other people work, all of the time, even if the person doesn't want you to use and, and there was no agreement to allow it.

That is what I am saying. I am saying that it is legal, in all sorts of situations, to use other people's work even if they object/don't want you to.
Horrible Code, Clean Performance
This was in the day I was trying everything on that machine. I had DOS running on it at one point, then OS/2 Warp, then Windows 3.1, then Linux, then back to OS/2 etc etc.

Heh. I remember trying one time to get as many different OS's multi-booting on one physical box as I could. I think I had about 5 at one point, something like Windows 95, OS/2, Red Hat 6.2, FreeBSD (or maybe OpenBSD), Caldera Linux, and maybe something else. And then I tried to add one more (I think it was Solaris x86) and totally hosed everything and had to start over.

Definitely the "good ole days". :-)

Ask HN: Why do you think F# is not more popular, even within the .NET ecosystem?
My last experience with the language date from a couple.of years ago, overall it was kind pleasant : light wait syntax, goodish tooling and nice async programming support.
Fast forward today, I wanted to explore asp.net and most of the example are in C# and the overall community/support for F# seems lower than say Scala or kotlin.

There's been a dispute with that landlord since before Elon bought twitter, and not paying rent is Twitter's way of negotiating and other organizations/companies do similar tactics all the time. If you're in a contentious legal situation with another group, withholding payment and making an argument you're allowed to do so under the lease is perfectly normal.

Unfortunately reporting on this is awful and biased and doesn't include nuance like this. It's just "omg twitter is broke and run by an idiot".
It doesn't matter if the country has corruption problems on it's own, we shouldn't be party to that, and we shouldn't facilitate or encourage it by doing business with them. That's the whole point of these laws.

It would be like making asbestos products and FFP2 masks in the same factory and labeling laws not allowing you to say the FFP2 may have asbestos but allowing you to say the FFP2 mask was made with asbestos if you added some.
We started with a regime where “free from sesame” products existed, sesame products are allowed, and other products are allowed that may contain trace amounts of sesame.

We are now in a regime where the same “free from sesame” products exist, and all other products must contain sesame.

It’s not clear that this has increased or will increase the number of products free from sesame. It is clear that it has increased the number of products with sesame and the amount of sesame. It sounds like we would prefer a regime where fewer products have sesame.

Assign whatever merit or import you want to the issue of sesame in food, but it is not at all clear that this new regime is actually better for anyone.
Goofy story that is unrelated to anything.

UT Austin CS dept. used Apple LaserWriters as department printers for years. IIRC, they were 300x300dpi. Then one day, we upgraded to 600x600dpi laser printers (I forget the brand). I was on staff at the time, and I didn't know it was going to happen.

The next day, E. Allan Emerson, professor and Turing Award winner, showed up at the door of the software staff's cave, very upset. His papers were looking very different even though they were formatted in LaTeX which claims to always produce the same output. (LaTeX was doing its job, BTW; the spacing was identical.)

It turns out that Computer Modern Roman at 300x300 is a pretty reasonable font. At 600x600, it is a thin, spindly looking thing.

I think we dredged up a spare LaserWriter and put it in his office for him.

I am not a religious person but I can understand that. I am 66 yo and my father and mother are diseased since a long time. Yet sometimes I can feel a presence during day time and I had a few dreams where I discussed briefly with my mother.

It's easy to say that as I am shaking that this could be Parkinson's disease hallucinations but I am not so sure. Anyway I am not diagnosed with Parkinson's diseases and I take no drugs.

My pet explanation is that there are multiple universes and there are leaks between them.
> I guess no one should ever user the term "objective" when referring to anything that interfaces with morality then?

Correct, they should not.

Where the statement without “objective” is uncontroversial and the discussion touches on nothing else to which objectivity vs. subjectivity is important, it adds nothing but pointless inaccuracy, when the claim is controversial or offered in a context where objectivity vs subjectivity actually matters in some other way, it is harmfully misleading.
Yes. People have alerts set up on portscanning, both inbound (to detect recon attempts) and outbound (to detect compromised/abusive internal hosts). There are lots of legitimate reasons to do large-scale network surveys, but you have to be careful about them, because they are also strong abuse signals --- meaning: when providers go after people who are port scanning, more often than not it turns out that the port scanning source was in fact clearly abusive.

Good and evil are products of the interpretive mind, one that absolve itself of its own interpretation which leads to the concepts appearing to stand on their own. They're social facts masquerading as common sense, "the way the world works", and reality.

That's not to say there aren't consequences to rejecting them as such, we have a whole system for social fact enforcement that includes social, physical, and mental punishment, but that doesn't mean that one can't appreciate them as social facts either.

Would evil exist in the natural world absent humans? If not, then evil is a property contingent on humans in one way or another.

WeatherGPT: Open-Source ChatGPT Plugin Starter Template
Hey Hacker News! I launched this yesterday – it's an open-source ChatGPT Plugin Starter Template for you to refer to when building your own ChatGPT Plugins!

Features:
◆ AI-Plugin & OpenAPI JSON specs
◆ Next.js Metadata API, Route Handlers
◆ Returns a link with a dynamic OG image card

By itself, WeatherGPT is a ChatGPT Plugin to get the weather of any given location. It can also make appropriate recommendations of what outfits to wear given the weather.

Hope you guys like it, LMK what you think!
Many of the users from freenode went to Libera [1]. Many have also moved to Discord and other communities. Finally, a lot of people have simply become older and many other things consume their time and thus use more specific communication mechanisms like sourcehut/gitlab/github issues etc.

A lot of what was difficult in chat of the past (irc isn't easily e2e encrypted and 'always on' connections aren't the default nor is there a default ability to connect to the same 'user/name' instance from multiple devices) has been solved by these proprietary protocols (signal, discord, telegram, etc.)

IRCv3 solves a lot of the cool emojies issues, e2e encryption issues (i mean makes it easier to solve), etc., but then IRCv3 isn't widely supported across clients and a standardization for the encryption hasn't been created...

But again, there are still significant users on IRC, whether on libera, dalnet, rizon, freenode, or the many smaller networks that absolutely have thriving communities - and I encourage you to check them out. It's a great place to meet some of the coolest people and make lifelong friendships!

Extra special relativity.
This is not how authorization to use other people's services work. In practice you're vanishingly unlikely (in the US at least) to get into legal trouble for port scanning, but if you take this logic to its conclusion --- a service exposes some capability without authentication, ergo you're authorized to use it --- you very definitely can get prosecuted.

The measure of ideas are whatever people can be convinced they are.

The trick is to make it sound like it's not you that's saying it. We launder it through God, society, reality, and it comes out sparkling clean to everyone who's gullible enough to believe it. It's a trick, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work.
Google and stackoverflow have the same issue. Often I won't find the answer I'm looking for, and I'll have to use something that's close to my problem but not exactly the same. ChatGPT has the same issue, but I can tell him what work and what didn't and he'll give me an updated answer.

The alternative to that is to open 15 tabs with stackoverflow, forum threads, github issues, reddit. For the problems I usually encouter, it makes sense to ask ChatGPT first, and if I see that I'm getting nowhere after 2/3 replies I'll fall back on Google, documentation, trying something else.

I think that, just as content creators can designate a work to under various Creative Commons licenses, for commercial use, or for non-commercial use, or under MIT licenses, or GPL, or proprietary licenses, etc....

We may find that letting content creators choose to have their work included, or not, in AI training sets would be helpful? Or, included in training sets for a fee, or for some sort of attribution, or ?...

The apparent current status quo of "anything on the public web is fair game for an AI training set" might not be a good permanent solution?
Hah. Used SLS (and then Slackware) back then. I think the first version of the kernel I used was 0.98pl13.

Some parts of the world can go without sunlight for months on end (and constant daylight at the opposite time of year).

I remember some discussion in January when this first hit the news. Here's the money quote:

"Some companies include statements on labels that say a food “may contain” a certain product or that the food is “produced in a facility” that also uses certain allergens. However, such statements are voluntary, not required, according to the FDA, and they do not absolve the company of requirements to prevent cross-contamination."[0]

> When I was younger though (and child free), I'd jump at these sort of events, and loved them.

I think this is the key point. After hours parties only focus on one demographic (young and/or without children). Some non-zero percentage of the workforce will not fall into this category. People organizing such parties should not be surprised that such people don't show up.
> Under federal labeling rules, they can’t state that their products contain sesame unless the items actually contain it — so they’re adding sesame and labeling it.

I believe the overreach they are referring to is: the law prevents companies from labeling a product as a possible sesame allergen when it may have trace amounts of seed.
Well, popular words are highly overloaded. So yes, maybe.
Saying "Corporations" gets more clicks for the Washington Post, but there's no reason to think that Kate & Carol's Corner Bakery isn't in the exact same bad situation.

Also, the "...instead of conducting the careful cleaning required for foods without sesame..." reason sounds fishy to me. Any facility processing food at scale already has to do a lot of careful cleaning. My first guess - the "cleaning" standard in the new sesame regulation is so strict that it would require "never attempted anything like this before" levels of effort. Second guess - perfect cleaning won't actually cover your regulatory butt if your supply chain has sesame problems...and there are severe sesame problems in their supply chains.
true. i think Yanks is common though for overseas referal to US citizens, since they don't bother honoring the confederacy or something like that.
"Rehabilitation" is in many cases a misnomer. There's a difference between Rehabilitating someone who developed a problem and Habilitating someone who was never taught to think with a moral compass.

Yes, there are plenty of edge cases to philosophize about, but for the overwhelming majority of situations, if you intentionally harm others, you're being evil, regardless of how you rationalize it. This implies that everyone is both evil and good to some degree.

Even if you debate the edge cases forever, most of the situations where significant harm was purposefully done would be clearly evil.

DNA is actually rather simple. It basically consists of about the fewest number of bases possible for encoding information (four), even though more bases are possible (and have been stably engineered into organisms). Even so, while these bases pair off well, there is some cross-talk possible (G-quadruplexes, G:T base-pairing).
> Just a egocentric convenience and the superpower influence.

This is completely wrong, unless your argument is something like there being only two continents. Which is fine but pretty far from how continents are normally defined and you should probably use a different word.

By far the most egregious continent border is Europe vs. Asia, and Africa is connected to those two just as much as the Americas are connected.

> never quite agreeing what north is depending on the political point being made

You get the same political fussiness around every continent border. But the geographic boundary is pretty well decided to be Panama.
