Software is a good, and like most goods you can sell it, you can trade it or you can give it away. It is not necessarily a physical good, but the cost of duplicating physical goods has greatly decreased with automation and robotics. They’re digital copies of the original, like high resolution pictures of the painting somebody took months to make.

Free software benefits others, but you can’t choose the membership of “others”.

I've been involved with a nonprofit organization for decades, and we have frequent conferences. They [usually] have nothing to do with tech; They are just gatherings of like-minded individuals. I've been on a number committees, organizing these events.

The process of putting together one of these shindigs is pretty intense, and there's no way that a single person can do it. It's good to have some leadership, but they can't be too heavy-handed, and these things are usually volunteer efforts, so it's important to not be an asshole.

In the case of the conferences I've attended, there's often a 1- to 3-year period between concept and keynote. There's usually a lot of fundraising and awareness-building. I've never heard of Kickstarting or GoFundMe drives. In my experience, fundraisers are fun social events or meetups with an entrance fee. These also act as advertisements for the main event.

Of course, nowadays, you also have the option of paid webinars. These can be a great opportunity to project the brand, and also test out possible conference presenters.

Another option that tech conferences have, that the organization I'm involved with does not have, is branded sponsorship; especially from local businesses. Having someone that's a good glandhander is a big deal. My mother used to do that for her NPO, and I saw her land some big fish.

Insurance is a biggie, and no one ever seems to give this much thought. Poke around. Find out what it will cost to insure one of these things. Not all companies will do it, and the prices can be all over the place.

A lot of times, you can cut deals with hotels, and they'll let you have the conference rooms for free, as long as you commit to a room block (so getting the word out is important). Conference centers are usually not willing to cut breaks, but many hotels can't deal with anything of any size. I've attended a number of smaller (including tech) conferences at Holiday Inns.

Nowadays, there are some great SaaS options, for things like schedules, Web sites, badges, etc. Some may cut deals for NPOs.

And, for the cherry on top, you generally have colossal egos, battling back and forth, like a kaiju movie.

It can be great fun, but it's a ton of work.

I would not be surprised if many folks on this forum have been involved with Science-Fiction/Comic/Fantasy cons. That's a good place to find experience.
I last traveled to SF a couple years (I love SF and have been there many times over the past 25 yeara) ago and definitely noticed the dramatically increased prominence of the homeless population, but it was the "early 80's urban decay feel" of vacant spaces and pillaged stores that really changed the vibe for me. This was most prevalent in the downtown area, but less so outside of that zone.

In this case I think it is important to distinguish nix (the package manager)
and nixpkgs (the popular package repository / distribution used with nix).

Packaging python applications with nix is doable, but you have to specify the exact versions of your dependencies and for that you can't easily use nixpkgs.

Nixpkgs tries to keep a minimum number of packages (like Arch or Debian as well), so each of the dependencies will typically only occur with one minor version for each release of nixpkgs.

We could still use the nixpkgs to build our application but we have to override each of our dependencies to the right version, but that approach can get quiet tedious for a large number of dependencies.

Fortunately there are tools to automatically generate your dependencies from a requirements.txt such as mach-nix or pip2nix.

That would lead to inconsistent brightness across devices -- white on a 2000 nits HDR TV is extremely bright, you likely don't want that as a paper white background. Standardizing on some good enough value of nits (usually between 80 and 200) for "SDR" peak white tends to work better.
Ask HN: Does everyone know the word “grok”?

On macOS you can use apps like BetterDisplay, Vivid or BetterTouchTool to enable that HDR mode for the whole display, which makes it significantly easier to work outside. On iOS there is "Vivid Browser" - a browser that enables the HDR mode for the whole screen.
I'm not sure how it is a good deal for the insurer who will have to pay for loss of craft.

It's only a good deal if somebody else ends up footing these bills. I don't believe that England's insurers were so stupid that they would bear such losses for decades without doing something about these.
Made a similar comment about the comparison pages, which is a simple and factual statement yet was downvoted immediately by (pressumably) people with a stake in the project. Does not reflect well...

Detailed and unbiased comparisons are extremely useful but also are hard (and costly) to do. Don't promise them if you can't deliver.

That would be terrible for color reproduction which is what most use cases are about.

HDR is still a niche application outside of games and VFX.

It has nothing to do with sexual orientation or claimed gender, and everything to do with what body parts are shown and what explicit words (or other sounds) are used.
Indeed. The original plan envisioned Perl being a slang in the Raku Programming Language. That plan failed because Perl is largely dependent on C-code plugins that are used whenever Perl is considered to be too slow (which is often). So being able to support Perl syntax in Raku, would only allow use of Perl-only modules from CPAN (of which there are way too few).

To counter that, Inline::Perl5 (https://raku.land/cpan:NINE/Inline::Perl5) was developed. It gives you access to 99.9% of Perl's functionality transparently, such as being able to subclass Perl classes in Raku, and vice-versa.

Not really IMO. The GTS 2 mini lasts me more than a week on battery and that is with regular GPS use too, and always-on display while I'm wearing it (it automatically switches off when I'm not wearing it).

And it cost me only 72 euro, which is only slightly more than the bip which cost around 50 euro here. I think it's a much better deal. Charging once a week is the same deal as once a month for me. And the OLED display is much nicer, especially at night. And I use the GPS logging and barometer a lot for hikes, it makes it a lot more useful than the bip which doesn't have these features.

I've had it for 2 years now so definitely not a throwaway. My Samsung Galaxy Active which I had before on the other hand... I only used that for 4 months because it ran way too hot with GPS on and depleted its battery in 4 hours with GPS (and about 1 day without). It was just unusable and bugs were introduced (and never fixed) with firmware updates that made it worse.
Stuff like this is why I prefer to take a bus in Germany.

Trains are overbooked with free tickets and promotions (free pass for entire summer for 50 euro). While underlying infrastructure is not ready for such load. It leads to delays and mistakes. Plus railway stations in Germany look like homeless shelters!

On other side Germany has excellent motorway network. Flixbus is very cheap, quite comfortable, goes all the way to airport, and always on time!
He's talking about saccadic eye movement, using the slideshow as a metaphor to explain how our eyes discard information during the saccade, which is pretty accurate as far as I know. The phrasing was confusing but I don't think he meant to imply that we see a slideshow all the time, just when our eyes are moving/scanning a scene.
design credit, absolutely! I'm speaking of Yayo and human leather hats, though. :D
> I think one possibly underused utility of HDR is to have more saturated bright colors in various contexts.

Isn't that the sole purpose of HDR!?
It displays as normal on my M1 MBP and then gradually ramps up over a second or two to the superbright white. Seems better suited to a static white area than a few video frames? At least on this device, I guess others might be more responsive to it?

Not graphic design but art-related, here are two recommendations of mine:

If you like Kandinsky I can recommend "On the spiritual in Art", which he wrote himself. It's mostly text, although there are some images. The thing is, given how many artists out there try to be as obfuscated as possible to keep their works open to interpretation, I really appreciate how he explains his reasoning, and it adds to the appreciation of his work.

The other thing I find fun to read through (although sadly one can only digitally borrow it - luckily I have an actual print edition at home) is Hendrik Willem van Loon's "The Arts", which is a world history of art as summarized by one well-meaning historian in 1937. It's interesting to see what holds up, where he's clearly out of his depth (or just outdated), and what one might consider to have been "lost" in all the post-modern faffing of the last century.

I would use understand as "grok" is a word relegated to fans of Heinlein and sundry, and I suspect it would be less understood by those outside the USA.

If you want to reference the same "deeper understanding" idea, use "in the zone" or "flow" or similar.
I assume they are stating that we don't actually live in a pure capitalist society, or else your definition is wrong.
> Then add multiple overflow checking units.

You can't.

With your favoured ISA style you can't just put 4 or 8 checked overflow add instructions in a row and run them all in parallel because they all write to the same condition code flag. You have to put conditional branches between them.

Or, if you want an overflowing add to trap then you can't do anything critical in the following instructions until you know whether the first one traps or not e.g. if the instructions are like "add r1,(r0)+; add r2,(r0)+; add r3,(r0)+; add r4,(r0)+". In this example you can't write back the updated r0 value until you know whether the instruction traps of not. Even worse if you reverse the operands and have a RMW instruction.

So essentially you have no use for land/housing for extended period of time but you want to keep it. That's the textbook definition of hoarding real estate.

And please don't give this BS about generations. Just ask yourself: would you sell your grandgrandpa's home if you knew tomorrow its price was not up but got halved, day after day? There's the answer about your true motivations.

> Prove I didn't stop by for a few days N-1 years ago.

Stopping by != using as residence. I stop by local Mcd occasionally, don't mean I live there.

I'm vehemently not a communist but this sort of entitlement is cancer on humanity. Land is zero sum and a commons. These things are never not regulated in a healthy society. Even in US owning estate never means you are free to do anything you want with it, even if you live in it. Not hoarding it is only another one of those rules, sadly not supported by law enough.
That's a good data point, thanks!
Non technical (Product and Strategy person), but it is a word I know of. I only recently remembered it as I haven't heard it in a few years, after an article enlightened me that it was originally a 'hippy' term (for the same meaning).

"True" indie games are far from dead, there are just different degrees of quality and success. Yeah, there is a lot of shovelware, but there are also tons of amazing indie games coming out on a regular basis.
Also not with Smart Invert Colors turned on (where it’s still white, but remains at normal brightness).
1. "We got out of the car and went inside." Possibly also "We got out of the car and came inside", but only if the speaker is still currently inside.

2. "I joined the line ...", although being British I'd be more likely to say "I joined the queue to pay for the shopping", so maybe get an American to double-check this one!

3. "He had a party ..." - I think "make" is used more rarely in English as an auxiliary verb than other languages, typically we "have" or "do" things.

Of course this does not change the fact that it is a reserved keyword, but "with" is prohibited in strict mode and as such also in any ES Module. I assume this also applies to any TS module regardless of the compiler.

But since TS is supposed to be a superset of JS, of course this does not change anything
> Those two don't need CTRL, just so you know

Well, yes they do, only it's different with and without CTRL. For example in a text editor (or a normal webpage without any fancy JS):

- Shift+End goes to the end of the line

- CTRL+Shift+End goes to the end of the document

and the same is true for Home (substitute "end" with "beginning").

I have seen people, even "technical" people, select a text with the mouse from the middle of a large Word document to the end, because they didn't know this.

Yeah, I think it is important to distinguish worthless shovelware with quality indie titles. Both still exist.

It does not apply any dark overlay, at least not on HDR screens, it just looks like it does due to the big difference in brightness.

I would assume the iPad Air 4 doesn't have a HDR screen, but maybe I'm wrong. On HDR capable screens you should still see a huge difference even on maximum brightness.
Very nice, but I think a slider would be more convenient to navigate between dates ? (Not an UI expert by any means).
Safari also apply “HDR” to CSS filter: brightness() with value greater than 1. Instead of the over-exposure effect, this portion of the screen will be brighter.

You must have an HDR or EDR-capable screen and there must be an HDR video playing to activate the HDR context (can be <video> playing somewhere in a webpage).

Famine can be solved by growing food or buying food. If opium is twice as valuable as potatoes then they could grow opium and buy twice as many potatoes as they could otherwise have grown.

Self reliance is important but generally less important than survival. If they don't have resources to treat opiate addicts they don't have to, the addicts are responsible for their own problems. We should try to help if we can but if we can't, we can't.

Poppy fields have legitimate uses, they are not just for producing street drugs. Heroin, morphine, codeine and others are products of the opium poppy and all of them are used medically. I also doubt this prohibition will make much difference in terms of drug addiction, they will get their drugs one way or another just like everywhere else.

That's interesting. Every normal white feels pale and boring after seeing that white. I'm not writing this as a joke, everything that is supposed to be white looks like a greyish, washed out white right now.
Yes, but 'pure' might mean different things at different levels.

In a programming language, 'pure' would just refer to "function where you get the same output from the same input; no side effects".

In parent's case, there was an 'impurity' such that the package is meaningfully different depending on the machine it was built on.

Elites understand that while their boasts of being good people fall on deaf ears for all but their most ardent supporters, the cynicism of the public can reliably be weaponized via a concerted campaign of character assassination.

It works against even the most blameless individuals. No guilt needs to actually be established either - a feeling that there is something "off" about the individual can be manufactured simply by throwing enough mud, consistently enough.

If the mud doesnt stick to the individual, you can also throw mud at the supporters.
