> Sure you can simply cut off those who don't use your preferred platform. But I've seen what happens to people who do that - when the first facebook backlash occurred back in the late 2000s. They disappear from the real world 'social graph' of their non-local friends.

Nah.
I closed twitter and anything meta except whatsapp (for family), in which I have a big large text as the profile icon to search for me in signal. I have exactly the same social life as before, and this has been going on for years. Don't let the FOMO win.
The worst part about those captchas is that you have to click each box individually. So unless you're on a touch screen or mouse, clicking each box that contains (part of) the object, takes ages. At least let my human hands drag-select the boxes, ffs.
I'm thankful to Stallman for his many contributions to the field - (software, legal, moral writings, etc). I am better off for his work, as are most living humans.

However, there's a pretty large number of perfectly reasonable-seeming people who refuse to spend any time interacting with him, either in person or online. His reputation, fairly or otherwise, is terrible.

Maybe that's deserved, maybe it's undeserved - but it's the reputation he has, and that reputation is enough to seriously discourage people from getting involved in the FSF in any capacity.
The crazy habits proponent in your workplace is simply ahead of his time: there is the "SQLite for edge" vulgata now and he/she may skim some of the wheel reinvention and funny engineering problems with throwing around SQLite files, like in the good old Access days.

This is only 1 hour 42 minutes, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAA_yWX8ycQ, but I could watch it all day. It was released as marketing for the Detective Pikachu movie and is a "Leak of the full movie by R Reynolds".

Please watch at least the first 2 minutes.
Same with postal service, etc.

Uh, guys, this is not true.

This is not how any of this works.

Don't let these people on HN mislead you. Even the postal service cannot knowingly deliver a bomb to a target and claim immunity. It doesn't work like that. If you know they are committing a crime, then you have to stop them. Or at a minimum try to stop them.
In particular, as well as the obvious "can't copyright a circle" concept, wordmarks often don't qualify for copyright. Even if the typeface is copyrighted (as many are), that doesn't transfer to writing in that typeface. As usual, exactly where and to what extent that is true can vary around the world.

Trademark rules still apply, so you still can't take the Google wordmark and slap it on your company even if the logo is on Wikipedia Commons.
Not really. Even if it was somehow funded, the original author may still want to stop maintaining it and hand it over to someone else.

So it's an entirely different issue.
> a guy getting demoted to regular speaker insetad of keynote speaker?

I don't think the issue was who the keynote speaker should be; as far as I can tell, it's the (lack of) process over that decision.

/me has no skin in this game.
Yes. A seldom discussed aspect of this is the ability to open a business in a residential area.

Many of these small self-owned shop are the first floor of a house or building, and more often than not the owner lives upstairs, so it's less of an issue to keep it open with low frequentation as they're no paying extra rent or suffering hours of transit to get there.

That also tremendously helps with the community aspect and customers putting a face on the shop and staff as they'll meet them in their daily life as well.
Phoenix/LiveView must be really good if people are learning not one but two niche languages (Elixir and Erlang) just to use it.

I wonder if the framework is particularly tied to Elixir or if it could be done in a more popular language so more people will take it up.

edit: and yes I know WhatsApp was/is written in Erlang, just to save you commenting.
The linked article is a meta analysis.
Please implement one and i won't need to ask similar question.
I've tried changing the settings, but it's confusing. Am I trying to stop my laptop from "locking", "sleeping" or "hibernating"? It's not clear to me which thing it's doing. Maybe it's doing one thing some of the time, and the other thing the rest of the time. And even now that I think I've set it to do none of these things, the screen still disappears and I have to re-enter my password within 5 minutes. So either the settings don't work, or the UI is too confusing for me to figure out what's the right thing to do. Either way, putting a YouTube video on is much easier.
Yea, it's good to see someone consistently pushing back against hate and refusing to give up or be silenced.

This is a new thing, too. Even 20 years ago, it wasn't so bad.
> This is the risk of open source not figuring out funding.

Not necessarily. There is software I built for me, thought that it could be useful to others, used for some time and then went away. Sure, if it brought me 1M€/month I would work on it hard. But it was not the primary goal anyway.
> You have to protect trademarks or you lose them.

Not really. How do you imagine this could work if it was true? It's a great excuse if you're looking to throw your weight around of course. Oh the poor Disney corporation had to sue that primary school for a bajillion dollars, or else they would lose their trademark. Does that sort of thing even pass the sniff test for you?

And it works out great for lawyers too. Instead of only getting paid when there's actual controversy that needs their skills, they can collect a fee for this "protection" work.
>Right now AI/datacenter is outbidding the gamers for constrained fab capacity.

Allow me to doubt this. Intel Arc A770 16GB has a TSMC manufactured die but it's much larger in size that an RTX 3060 12GB sells for way less, also at a (small) profit.
You've reminded me of an older Quora post about: What do grad students in math do all day? Do they just sit at their desk and think? [1] Here are excerpts:

"""
The main issue is that, by the time you get to the frontiers of math, the words to describe the concepts don't really exist yet. Communicating these ideas is a bit like trying to explain a vacuum cleaner to someone who has never seen one, except you're only allowed to use words that are four letters long or shorter.

...

This [research] goes on for several years, and finally you write a thesis about how if you turn a vacuum cleaner upside-down and submerge the top end in water, you can make bubbles!

Your thesis committee is unsure of how this could ever be useful, but it seems pretty cool and bubbles are pretty, so they think that maybe something useful could come out of it eventually. Maybe.

And, indeed, you are lucky! After a hundred years or so, your idea (along with a bunch of other ideas) leads to the development of aquarium air pumps, an essential tool in the rapidly growing field of research on artificial goldfish habitats. Yay!

"Like, you can write any book you want using the English language, as long as you use Kanji to write it down? You wouldn’t consider that a problem?"

Right now Kazakhstan is transitioning from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet. This year children will be taught only Latin letters and they won't be able to read the texts in Kazakh language written in Cyrillic in the last 80 years.

Do you consider this a problem?

Here in Spain it is still relatively common to make a bank transfer and show the receipt. Especially for anything government related. Stand in queue, talk to person. You need to pay 12 euros. Go to bank, pay, get receipt. Go back and stand in the queue again.

We don't need to be giving our governments any more control over the way that we spend our own money. And we certainly don't want to give them the power to shut people out of the system.

IRC is practically stateless, migrating is about as easy as someone signing up at the new host and changing your readme/contact page. If you have some bots you change some URLs. It may not be an easy decision, but the migration is a straightforward one time cost. Guess why a lot of projects moved off Freenode overnight? Because it’s very easy.

Supporting a different language implementation, on the other hand, is an indefinite ongoing burden until one dies. Not to mention the trademark bullshit affects a tiny slice of the user base at best.

> You seem to be mistaking UX with UI design.

This is often a motte and bailey distinction though, where the "UX" person's background is UI, and they think only about UI. But they can charge more because theoretically UX is everything.

I don't think this is an individual's issue, as if everyone hires UX instead of UI then what do you do? It's a UX consultancy issue.
Yet this is the middle man that brings in the business aspects, the context etc. Installing a product in a bank and at a soft ware vendor's can be dramatically different.
PHP is a joke to me.

Using \ as path separator (look at you, WIndows), is just purely stupid genius.

You need to learn Elixir. Learning Erlang isn't going to be particularly helpful.

Blazor (C#) and StimulusReflex (Ruby) are the ones that immediately pop into my head.
I really like this kind of informal type of music where you can alternate between chatting to people and listening to some music. There's certainly a place where the music is the #1 attention, but in general I think this more informal type of atmosphere is how music is supposed to work. This is even more even more true if anyone can just join in if they want (which probably isn't the case for these parties).
I noticed this in myself in few extreme focus situations. Mostly when driving or riding a motorcycle and suddenly having to dodge stuff at high speed.

Ask HN: What's your biggest frustration with code reviews?
I go first: I hate when debating coding guidelines during the review.

How about you?
Nothing about this risk or the statement implies AGI is real, because the risk exists in wide scale use of existing technology. It's the risk of belief in algorithmically derived information, and deployment of autonomous, unsupervised systems.

It's great they signed the statement. It's important.
While what you quoted is not incorrect, and worth pointing out, the analogy stands. In AA, you only get the chip if you abstain from drinking. The chip (a little coin) is an all-or-nothing deal.

In AA, we do get people attending who just want to control their drinking. They're usually sent by the courts (in the US, at least) due to some misdemeanor they commited while drunk, as though those of us battling ourselves are supposed to teach some 20-something how to be responsible adult because their parents failed them. Sometimes one of those court-sent people finds out they have a real problem, and end up sticking around. However, for the most part, the rest are there for a few weeks because they have to be, we sign their slips, and never see them again. We don't give out chips for that.
Where can you go by train in 8h in Europe
Dagashi is aimed at kids, so the tastes can be a bit ..."primitive".

To me main appeal is to have a lot of choice of cheap stuff that can be bought with allowances (convenience store have better quality goods, but in smaller quantities and smaller choice). It feels a lot different to buy a small bag of stuff for 500y instead of 2 candy bars.

I don't think it will die of irrelevance, more sadly, it will come from how skewed the population is getting, and anything targeted to kids is bound to slowly atrophy and become a smaller and smaleer niche.
You always have to keep in mind, that the majority of commentors, did not had a project yet, that made it to the front page. But at least that smart criticism can make it top comment for a while ..
Yet the comment I responded to, did quite the same, speaking of the statement(anti-profit) as "insight", eg wisdom.

But you cannot remove profit as a motivator in a capitalistic society, without finding a viable replacement, for wealth accumulation has directive goals. EG, successful entrepreneurs become focal points, and help direct resource allocation for future endeavors.
Because the author owes you nothing.
They are trademarks, though, are they not?

Should I be permitted to fork Go an call it Rust? learnrust.com with fine resources to learn ru.. I mean go, no wait. Rust. Definitely rust.

I am a user of Rust and I am neither dumb nor little, but thank you for your kind consideration of my mental abilities. But I think you are the one missing the point here: it has to do with the stability of the brand, language and environment; I've invested a lot of hours into this and will continue to do so. Without the protection I would not because it could be gone tomorrow, basically.
That captures my sentiment exactly and GPL is always the last choice for me.
In pretty sure it does matter. Click things that are clearly wrong and it will very rarely accept it.

However I think it is quite flexible. That box that is almost completely traffic light probably needs to be clicked, but as long as you pick at least one of those two that contain a corner you will likely pass. I would guess that there is some sort of accuracy score that is mixed in with the bot fingerprinting score.
You're arguing one of them should have exclusive right to use the word "mumble" in reference to software related to vocal communication?
You don't need to know Erlang to use Phoenix or LiveView.
> A wiser and less ego-centric Stallman would have stepped back decades ago.

I don't agree. For all his limits, Stallman maintained an ideological purity that is required to firmly signpost one end of the Overton window. Opensource licenses and projects can mix and match rights and regulations, but you will always have an unwatered GPL option, there to remind people of what the original ideal looked like.

Compare the trajectory of the GNU project with that of Mozilla, for example. Mozilla compromised ideals to gain popularity, and now that popularity is waning the compromise gets worse and worse (pocket, pop-unders...). GNU compromised nothing, ignored ebbs and flows in popularity, and will continue to do their thankless work for the good of the community at large.
what are the alternatives to HDF5 then ? (I thought HDF5 was a de facto standard, I feel wrong now :-))
I watched this for a bit and then scrubbed around to try to understand what is going on. Now I have more questions.
Hi @quickthrower2, thanks for commenting!

Candydate’s targets are not on the technical or professional side, but the hospitality and retail industries. Restaurants, cafes, hotels and stores in general. Basically those with high turnover rates and continuous hiring needs, where training is provided.

The idea is candidates won't waste time with long applications and employers can flip thru video-pitches instead of reading template CV's, saving everyone's time.

For introverts (odd for customer facing roles) they can just submit the old CV and skip the video, or by point the camera to a wall while they talk ; )
Or people showing off their electronics projects, all the comments are just EE students from countries where the unis are degree factories asking for code etc so they can rip off the project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ-kgruAG68, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M2AOPGqR-M etc, so easy to find.

It's always the same "how can I contact u" "circuit diagram and code pls" "what is x project cost" <--- important for these countries. So many EE students in places just ripping off other people's projects & the uni doesn't know better or care aha
It seems to be getting worse.

I order something online.
Get asked to confirm the purchase on my bank app.
Log in to my bank website from my laptop as I am already there, enter my password. Then I get prompted to open my phone and enter the same password to confirm that it is me logging into the bank app. I am allowed into the banks web app, where I tell it, yes it's me and I want to make that purchase.

It's at the stage where physical shops might actually be quicker and less hassle, especially if you have forgotten or mistyped the password and need to go through the process of resetting it.
It's the Rust foundation that considers it's users dumb and little, unable to think for themselves and determine which resources are worth using. How could you in good faith read what I said and come away thinking I support controlling the availability of resources named rust?
I have found the same issue with videoconferencing especially with participants who have a low bandwidth connection, background noise and echo or a bad microphone.

Wow, that's really cool game. That feeling of mathematical difficulty when you're playing is very cool.
Ruby is a very concise language.

Matching & getting in most languages typically devolves into matching a regexp to a string, getting a MatchResult object, and then getting/iterating/checking/... on it.
Ask HN: Is there any interest in building a private community platform?
My brain is selectively looking at topics and threads that are targeting social media addiction, twitter, etc. Ultimately I think these things are not going away but every decade we see a rebalancing as we start to move to new behaviours and new platforms. But that doesn't mean the old ones leave our psyche. If anything they become a staple of our daily lives. I want to try break away from some of this. I find Twitter useful but only when following a small subset of users. I think moving to something private with people you know might be a better alternative.

If it's of interest let me know. I'd really like to build it with people.
it's not only that rce vulnerabilities are rare, I contend they hardly matter. You should not have anything in your php containers an RCE can run.
People wonder why Linus Torvalds dislikes github.

Imagine writing a highly performant and featureful relational database and successfully using it with large projects for a while without the database itself becoming particularly popular and then having a company come along and popilarise your database by telling lots of people about how good it is as a flat key value store.

Then people are really confused and annoyed as to why their key value store has this complicated and confusing relational database attached to it so they write lots of guides skimming over the details to help people get better at using the database to just store keys and values in one table.

If I was Linus I would be pretty pissed too.

My comment did not even mention socialism, capitalism and whatnot. And yes, I see it as an insight, when people realize, that life is not about personal profit maximization. And no, that does not equal socialism or capitalism or even anti-capitalism.
Are you asking me to defend Disney's actions because I side with Rust at this point?

I think that it is fair that someone defends their name and brand and I definitely wish that you be permitted to do so, so that someone is unable to be too untoward to your business.

You genuinely review 5k LOC PRs?

If I was doing a proper review of a PR that big and making sure you understand how everything works that would easily take multiple days and generate 10s-100s of comments.

In reality I would flat out refuse to review it. Even 1k is very large without being broken down.

The only time I see PRs that big at work are cleanups (E.g. deleting whole directories), automated linting changes across the whole codebase and large structural refactors (E.g. changing directory structure).
> But its utility for low effort passive relationship maintenance with my old friends from college, jobs, school etc is an essential part of my social life.

Phones continue to exist. Not to mention email! If someone doesn't warrant a phone call, or even email, are they truly your friend? Is that really a relationship?

As someone old enough to remember the days before social media existed, I find it hard to conceive of social media as "essential". Convenient? Sure. Addictive? Yes, certainly. But essential? No. Humanity indisputably survived and thrived without it. Indeed, the argument can be made that we were happier without it.
To me, that sounds like a play on the hype train, which can work out very well if you know what you're doing. I think you need to be on your toes for this kind of gamble though, since hypes are usually short-term by definition.

I do agree that this particular hype, if we want to call it that, is one of a kind, at least in my (limited) experience. The current valuation is crazy, but so is the impact of "AI" right now.

I just have no idea how long it will last.
I have taken to unplugging TVs in hotel rooms as it has become more difficult to figure out how to shut them off entirely. Some will leave a blue or red LED on all night when I would prefer darkness. Also, it is really hard to tell what the TV or any boxes attached to it might be doing as far as listening or watching.
This reminds me of the Cloudflare dashboard where they loudly shove "ATTACKS BLOCKED" in your face where they are really counting requests blocked and have no evidence about if it was actually and attack or a poor human that got mistreated.
> By the way, everybody spends at least half of their career with prescription glasses: presbyopia hits as early as 40 if you're unlucky. Even at a more normal 50 it's a long time to retirement. Imagine the success of mobile phones if you had to slowly use them less and less after you turn 40.

VR headsets are focused about 1.5m away. You don't need glasses even if you need them to read normally. Unless you can't see that distance in real life either. But reading glasses are not necessary.
It's true, otherwise she would get the funding she demands. Grant money is, in most countries, but certainly Germany and the US, distributed based on ratings of other physicists. The fact that HEP continues to get funding is a reflection of the consensus in the field.
