First off, I'd really appreciate if you could reduce the angry, accusatory tone, I don't think it's productive. I have zero apps including subscription apps. I work for a B2B company for a paycheck. I am on the consumer side of the transactions at issue here. I don't know what you do for a living, because from your positions, it appears you might have no idea how the software business actually works in 2023.

Nobody's forcing you to pay for software subscriptions. If you don't see an ongoing benefit from using software under active development and maintenance, by all means, don't subscribe. Use abandoned software from 10 years ago forever on your Windows 7 machine, or write your own, or use awful ad-supported dreck. You'll get no objection from me, it's your choice.

But a lot of people have moved on from the one-time-only model. Developers know that you don't build the "final email client" or "final podcast app" or "final note taking app" and have it stay static for 30 years. Apps are either under development or they die.* If you don't think the users who derive value from the app every day, and need it to keep existing, should be the ones who pay for that app to keep existing, well, I don't know what to tell you. I for one expect all my core apps to just work on every new device I get, and when I install a new OS version I don't want to worry that apps were left behind. I want Office on my Android tablet today, and if I buy an iPad tomorrow I want it working there, and I have a PC and a Mac so I want it on both. I don't want to have to spend $350 for a new copy of Office just because I decided to buy a Mac.

There are other advantages for consumers too. For instance, you can pay like $20-30 for all Adobe's top-end apps for a month - to try them out or to do a one-off project now and then. That would have cost you $2000 20 years ago when the "buy" model was the only one. Likewise, it would be silly to pay $20 each for 5 competing apps to see which one you like best, but when they're $1 a month you can try them all serially to find your favorite, without any "trial" restrictions which can get in the way.

But it's clear you think that continuing to make sure software works forever, fielding support issues from customers, making updates for every new OS feature, is "sitting back" and doing nothing, and that it's realistic for you to update neither your OS nor your software, ever, just to avoid paying maybe $80 a year in software subscriptions, so, okay. You do you. I'll refrain from replying after this comment, because it appears you have no interest in anything but griping about paying for what you use.

* This was even true in the 1980s, but the timescales were much longer then. A Commodore 64 program was also pretty obsolete 12 years later when everyone had moved onto new and incompatible hardware, but today Apple can hardly keep the SDK stable for 12 months.
> how do you teach them what the right choices are if you don't actually see their choices? if your teenager is texting on TikTok with a 40 year old man who's asking them to send them underwear pictures, how do you find out about that except by reading their text messages?

General rules, like:

-Assume everything you send can at some point become available to everyone, forever.

-Anyone saying "don't tell your parents" is definitely up to no good and should not be trusted.

-On the internet anyone can convincingly pose as anyone.

etc.

Also children usually converse with their peers, so you'll be going through messages of quite a lot of other people's children. Do you have the consent of all the people involved, including their parents?
I wonder, if assembling an array of paths for outlines may improve things. You can check for a point being in inside path, use paths as hit areas, and you can apply fills. Notably, there wouldn't be any need for keeping various mask images in memory anymore. (You wouldn't want any curves in this paths, just pixel outlines. It may become a bit tricky with complex paths and negative shapes, though, which may be addressed by composing a mask image on-the-fly.)
This does not align with 2018-2022 mainstream HN and Twitter narrative.

1. You should be paid the same regardless where you work.

Good skills.

You beat our DOS 5 booting control system into a cocked hat, that a customer is running. You've got to love cough technical debt. Why on earth is "Enterprise gone awry" considered the right way to go for your IT strategy over that boring old open source bollocks that has a nasty habit of still being supported or at least working decades later? To be fair, open source wasn't a thing in the 80s for most people (nor the 90s ... ).

PDP-11s are my uncle's era and I'm 53! My first real PC was a 80286 (don't forget the 80) I bought a '287 maths co pro for about £115 so I could run a dodgy copy of AutoCAD on it. I do still have my old Commodore 64 which now has a USB interface. I assembled a ZX80 or two ...

Delphi is "just" Pascal - port it!
Paris CDG and Lyon LYS are the only airports in France I can think of with a built-in mainline train station. And the schedules are much less convenient than those in city-centre stations.
Maybe "orders of magnitude" was a misstatement. looks like ~12 billion (tesla) vs 53 billion (toyota). Maybe I'm a stock noob, but profit margins seem like an arbitrary silly metric to care about. What does it really mean? I could could make something for a dollar and sell it for 2 and my gross margin is 50%...but that doesn't mean i have more money than tesla. Profit margin is just an indirect measure of if you are doing ok, but at the end of the day money == money. Higher profit margin does not mean you have more money relative to your competitor, unless you can keep that profit margin AND beat your competitors in quantity sold.

The real tangible value would be cold hard cash which toyota has more of. Cash on hand for toyota is 76 billion. Tesla is 12 billion. Toyota has nearly 3x the employees but earns ~55k more per employee (profit/employee).
This is false.

Sounds like you've accidentally compared Wayland to X11 (which has nothing to do with your choice of DE; GNOME and KDE continue to support both for now, and both are looking to remove X11 support over the next two-three years (=major version cycle)); Wayland may be failing to accelerate compositing on your system due to missing driver stack features.

If you're on an Nvidia GPU and are trying Wayland, either use an up to date distro and stop using the Nvidia binary driver, or stop buying from Linux-hostile companies like Nvidia.

If we could force Nvidia to pull it's collective head of it's ass, we would; the entire Linux community has been trying for ~15 years, and it hasn't budged an inch.

Luxury Stocks Lose $30B in One Day on Demand Fears
Screw these type of policies... I was bitten by a similar policy by Spotify a couple of years ago when I was a paying customer with a Family Plan that only my wife and I used. Suddenly they decided to "cancel" my wife's account and I had to add her again... but when trying to add her, they asked me for her address and it had to match whatever address I added when I first joined (hint hint, We've moved houses several times in the last couple of years). And they refuse to show the address you have of you in their systems (Is that GDPR compliant for people in Europe?)

Suffice to say, I cancelled my account and moved my business to Google Play Music and Tidal (for HiFi/Masters) where I am a paying customer now.

These type of controls are idiotic and are only thought to squeeze as much revenue as possible from existing customers.

To add a bit of personal context -- Mikhail wrote about using WriteLaTeX on his personal blog in 2013, in a post which ended up at the top of HN!

The post was caught by the wayback machine snapshotting his main blog page: https://web.archive.org/web/20130930021027/http://www.theuns...

It's the one entitled "Tracking progress and learning from top performers".

Because of that post, Mikhail and I chatted, and he wrote a guest blog post for us. We stayed in touch, and seeing as it's our tenth anniversary this year (both of Overleaf and that blog post), we wrote this follow up.

Time flies...doesn't feel like ten years ago!
It is not a reasonable question. Employee wages and founder equity are not comparable things.

What if Bezos said "y'know what, I'd good with AMZN at $10MM market cap, I'm all set"? There'd be no jobs at Amazon. And no one to complain about the jobs at Amazon.

I would venture to guess that none of your Axis of Excess is particularly motivated by money. They do what they do because they enjoy the game. The game of global corporate titan. Money is an abstract metric that lets them keep playing.

> I do not understand what "hate to be that guy" means.

There’s usually a guy that brings up something that’s off-topic and only tangentially related to what’s being discussed, causing many people to roll their eyes.

And the thing “that guy” brings up is often something he doesn’t quite understand and why it might be annoying and derail a good conversation/thread.

That’s what being “that guy” means.
Every school should have if I won the lottery drills than because the odds of winning are higher than being killed in a school shooting.
>Bill Gates is one seriously dirty MFer.
Agreed. Completely agreed. Just watched the death of OS/2 video, and it confirms it.
This looks really nice, but I wouldn't pay $300/mo for it. I'm already using Notion and Airtable as a headless CMS, and wouldn't be able to justify spending $3000/yr to switch off of it...

The reason we use Notion and Airtable is that they already have multiplayer editing built in, at $20/seat
Rationally, this move makes sense, but Netflix is dealing with the legacy of peaking early.

It started with a low price and deep catalog. The very popularity of Netflix is almost entirely based on that steal of a deal. The cable breaker. People's expectations of Netflix are cemented in that era.

Now the price has roughly doubled whilst the catalog has degraded, and this is just one more nail in the coffin. Almost everybody seems disappointed in Netflix in one way or another.

Personally, I see the fragmentation of streaming services as a solution, not a problem. Jump from service to service with zero loyalty. Let them compete for your money instead of seeing it as a stale gym membership.
Great stuff! thanks for making it open source!!
I have to strongly agree. Third party repos move, code on the internet disappears or silently changes, connectivity goes away at the most awkward time. You always want a point-in-time copy of your code and all dependencies under your control. Sometimes even for legal or security reasons.

Always vendor your dependencies in your private Git repo or a proxy you control. Or heck, even in some long term backup solution if you must. Experience trumps theory.

>> ISSUE: Avoid signature format proliferation by using text-based suite value The pattern that Data Integrity Signatures use presently leads to a proliferation in signature types and JSON-LD Contexts. This proliferation can be avoided without any loss of the security characteristics of tightly binding a cryptography suite version to one or more acceptable public keys.

I suspect most people won’t even realise. I do share mine with my gran who I set up with a smart tv and Internet during Covid because she was stuck in the house on her own, and my daughter who was away at university.

I feel like I’ve already watched anything worth watching and would have cancelled my subscription already if it wasn’t for my family still using it.
Hey, for once the UK isn't getting screwed! (Premium is £15.99, which is $19.87)
IDK, extremes matter. -5 to +7 has the same average as -20 to +22, but the effects on energy use are widely different (e.g. the former may command a little heating for some time; the latter will command both extreme heating and possibly also cooling).

It's the same as with climate talk in general. "Ooh, the average yearly temperature only rose this much, or even fell down relative to 5/10/20 years ago." - sure, but if the range of temperatures keeps growing, you can end up with both a nice average falling year over year, and uninhabitable land due to all useful vegetation freezing up or drying up.
I think the price is fair for the amount of content, but my family has been considering leaving Netflix to cut down on screen time and save a few bucks. I picked up YT premium, which saves me a lot of time waiting to skip ads. I wish they had this when I was a kid with the 13 VHF and 52 UHF channels in Brooklyn when I was a kid. If you buy Starbucks coffee, then Netflix is just 2 or 3 lattes a month to make up the difference! I went back to Dunkin a while ago when I don't have my thermos with me ;)
True. They are waiting for the days of subscription only. as soon as they can.
SSH/API works fine too.

My point is more that the web interface isn't the best option. Take your pick of the others. :)
I find the “make vague, sweeping statements about things and when asked to clarify cower away from answering because the thin veneer you used to try to cover your ideology will be stripped away” posting style to be really tiring myself.

There was nothing that could have been done from the outside to stop that. The only people who could have made a difference were the citizens of the United States, but about 80% of them thought the invasion was a good idea.
Big fan of the app. One thing that have bothered me a bit though are bookmarks. Is there any way to sync them with the built in HN functionality? I often bookmark threads with 200+ comments to take notes later on the computer but I haven't found a decent way to transfer them without sending links one by one.
Or older people who dislike technology.
Regulated for what? For spending the highest amount of R&D per Revenue to further improve an insanely complicated field of technology, much more so than CPU or GPU but no one understand, not being talked about, not hyped up, and no media knows anything about?

It is worth pointing out Qualcomm isn't just sitting here doing nothing and collecting money. That is the narrative Apple's PR spend years trying to put a spin on. When it was Steve Jobs himself who first put a high value on Qualcomm's patent. May be preciously because he understand the value Qualcomm has to offer. And even at the time Tim Cook was unhappy about putting another $7 on COGS.
> Planes and trains are similar and accomplish the same thing, and neither is inherently good or bad.

Not sure if you're trolling but a quick search finds that "rail travel accounts for 14 grams of CO2 emissions per passenger mile, which is dwarfed by the 285 grams generated by air travel, and the 158 grams per passenger miles from journeys in cars."
Even San Francisco to some of the smaller CA/OR coastal towns would open up a lot of vacation potential. I really hope this seaplane works out!

You shouldn't call it overblown given GPT4 was released not even a month ago, but if it's fixed now then great.
Thanks, I’ll take a look at the article. This generally sounds very similar to my pre processing algorithm, setting the id of the enclosing area into each pixel so a fast/instant operation can be applied. Am I missing something though? In my solution, the only thing that happens when the user clicks is a fillRect() call. Is your suggestion similarly fast on click?
Isn't IPFS untraceable to a specific machine or IP? I thought that was the whole point.
I don't know about any significant use case of WebRTC in the P2P space. OTOH, like mentioned, libp2p implemented WebTransport. So WT seems to be also adequate for the P2P use case. (No clue about the details there, though. So maybe they had to jump loops to make it happen. But it doesn't look like there would be major show stoppers.)
That’s really essential, even if only for the clumsy thumb left on the screen with a naive grip. Being able to finger paint with all ten fingers is a bonus.

I think you need to read the articles and not just the headlines.

Eternals, Shang-Chi, and Black Widow were all profitable movies. They were flops for Marvel considering that the majority of its movies are huge blockbusters that come close to or surpass the $1b mark, but any other studio would have loved to have a "flop" like Shang-Chi. And considering that all 3 came out during the pandemic when movie attendance was severely depressed around the world, $400m is an amazing number. (For comparison, Godzilla vs Kong made approximately the same box office as these 3 films, had the same sized budget including marketing...and is considered a huge success.)

This explains what happens when you factor INFLATION in. https://screenrant.com/ant-man-wasp-quantumania-box-office-m...

I don't understand what you're trying to say with this reference? At any rate, The Incredible Hulk predates the Disney acquisition of Marvel (TIH was released by Universal) and is the last Marvel film not to make a profit at the box office.
Clojure is still technically owned by Rich Hickey. Changes to Clojure are ultimately on his time and approval. With that said, both Clojure and Datomic are both worked on daily by Cognitect employees. Nubank in particular has a lot of interest in supporting Datomic development since it is a critical piece in their infrastructure. (Allegedly, Nubank acquired Cognitect because of how important Datomic development is to them). Just because Clojure is slow to make changes to the core language doesn't mean it's not corporate backed. Moreover, Cognitect sells consulting services for Clojure and Datomic, and they sponsor dozens of open source developers. Most notably for this thread, maintainers of Calva (VS Code plugin for Clojure), the maintainer of clojure-lsp, and the maintainer of clj-kondo (static analysis tool used by clojure-lsp).

There's also other consultancies I can think of that make non-trivial efforts to foster a community around the language. Gaiwan has Lambda Island as a subsidiary that publishes video tutorials, hosts the ClojureVerse Q&A forum, and has dozens of open source libraries under the "Lambda Island" organization on GitHub, with active maintenance by Gaiwan employees. Then there's Juxt, which does more consulting than open source, but they have their own open source software (like XTDB) and libraries, which are also maintained by employees of the company. But personally, I think the dozens of individuals that Cognitect sponsors through GitHub is enough evidence for corporate backing of the language, considering who they sponsor end up spanning a vast majority of libraries and tooling that Clojure developers use every day.
You'll get the same answer the Luddites did over a century ago: crickets

> I think 90%+ of people without a CS degree and a boot camp can easily outperform any genius dev just by caring, being focused and professional. I'm not kidding. I've seen it many times.

I don't think I've ever seen it. Maybe it's a location/caliber thing, where in some "best cost locales" there's a big brain drain to the valley. We just flat out stopped interviewing bootcamp grads at some point because the signal to noise ratio just became too low.

At one point, the most notorious bootcamp, Lambda (or Bloom Tech, they had to change names a few times to avoid litigation), was desperate enough they would "loan" you a new "grad" for free to try to get you to hire one [0]. And this was pre-pandemic when hiring was at it's peak.

It has three modes of operation: hull, hydrofoil and flight in ground effect. So it can operate as a slow boat, a fast boat or a ground effect plane. I imagine in bad weather it would switch to a slower mode.

It's per server

We do pay them, for a bunch of boxes. But I can't afford to run their plus version in front of every microservice. Or even in front of our entry point server. That's 5 times as many machines, plus staged versions of the app, plus other services running on the same boxes.

If you're running anything that is not multithreaded, you're running a reverse proxy in front of it. And even then you can still improve server availability by running a reverse proxy.
I hope all of these failures to try to land on the moon do not damage existing satellite infrastructure.
Sure, but then you have different knobs for tuning am vs fm, different scan buttons, and you have to find a place to stash the box and antenna. I’d consider going through that for something like CB radio, but if I can have it built in that’s clearly preferable.
NILFS2 is upstream in Linux - the log structure means snapshots happen for free on every disk operation, so you can get point-in-time rollback without needing to manually create disk snapshots.

It does require a userspace daemon running to compact the log, though.
