The Qt contribution agreement doesn't transfer ownership, but authorizes QTC to enforce the rights in court on behalf of the developer (at least last time I had a look at it). But the agreement is not attractive for many reasons, which is why I never entered into one.

One of my classes at IIT-M from 15 y ago or so is there holy shit. Haha! So what would happen is they'd put this single camera operator at the back of the class behind the last row. There was only one classroom where we had it.

The prof must have been mic'd up because the audio comes through quite clearly. We weren't told to act any specific way or anything and no students were told explicitly that it was for NPTEL.

But it wasn't recorded in a studio, just a normal classroom with students.

I assume knowledge discovery and sharing doesn't depend on your country's world status. A lot of fundamental knowledge was discovered and passed down to us from ancient times by people who would consider life in the so-called third world countries to be a significant upgrade.
My side gigs almost always involve a little physical labor. Everyone writes code, but how many people do small-scale manufacturing of wood products?

Its hard to compete with bigger shops, but selling on platforms like Etsy (so long as you are willing to bet on yourself) can be semi-lucrative.

Running the numbers this morning since a friend asked, in the past 117 since I started my latest side-hustle selling wooden things, I've done 245 orders, selling 251 items for a total gross revenue of $5,612.19. It isn't retire to a private island money, but it covers the costs it is supposed to (mortgage & utilities). I usually let these hustles go a year before deciding to give up or invest more time and energy.
Hey, I'm Yury, CEO and co-founder here, eager to chat with you about EdgeDB.
I respectfully disagree with the notion that sharding makes resource usage somehow less important. Sure, it allows you to overcome the limits that would apply to a single node, but if you stop caring about using resources efficiently (e.g. memory / disk / network bandwidth), it's not very different from building huge and expensive single boxes.

Also, I don't think the blog (or me) suggested going back to using autoincrement IDs. There are other (better) options.

Discord desperately needs threading.

I prefer the Slack model where you can reply inside a thread and you replies stay within the thread instead of being scattered all over the place like IRC.

I hate to admit it, but this is one thing that Slack does better than IRC, except that in that model you do miss seeing everything that's talked about in the channel (because many of the conversations are hidden in the threads), but it's a better model for organization.
I know, but this is about hosting a service, not about trying to use existing services that got v4 addresses before it was cool
Yeah. Being legally adult only means something when you are 19yo yourself. If I was in the same shoes I would've followed my dad on a cool adventure without question and definitely could not have spotted any of the glaring red flags that presented themselves before the dive.
At the risk of sounding old - this is called mediation part of the usage based billing in the Telecom/Utility billing, which happen to be the OG of usage based billing with millions of record.

No, the US Navy, in addition to the US Coast Guard is involved as well:

Discord definitely dropped the ball with regards to cashing in on the remote work situation. They have a lot of overlap with Slack, Teams, etc., and completely eclipse VOIP platforms like Zoom, and blow all of those out of the water with respect to usability.

IMO, that's probably their best bet with regards to growing their actual business (as opposed to popularity, which they seem to be doing a bang-up job of already)
Default gestures are irrelevant. Apple always puts a huge effort into accessibility for their platforms. You are condemning the accessibility based on a tiny preview. No need to be concerned. They will have plenty of accessible options for using the device.
I don't have a lot of fondness for companies which offer a free product until it becomes entrenched, then take it away. I think of how MS and Adobe both turned a blind eye toward piracy until everything else had been killed off, then they went hard on piracy.

That said, perhaps moderators and users should be willing to admit that Reddit produces some of the value here. Every voice I've heard is, "we do all the work", "we produce all the value". It's also comical to hear moderators say that when the users of their subreddit could make the same claim trumping the moderator.

Right now the mods seem to be flexing their muscle, showing that Reddit has allowed them too much power, rather than showing the actual need for an api. In all of these discussions, I haven't seen a single video detailing side by side how necessary the third party apps are. Just claims that everyone needs them and uses them.

Reddit, of course, seems hell bent on making their UI worse and worse. I don't know what their play is or how they plan on getting paid for it. I have to say, though, for a free product their ads are among the least intrusive I can think of.

Every subreddit is just a click away from moving, though. I see some doing it. But a lot of those subreddits enjoy the influx of users that reddit brings them (until they don't, of course).
Ads for alcohol beverage are almost[1] practically banned in France, despite our massive wine ans spirit industry, which proves that it's actually doable.

It doesn't solve all alcohol-related issues ans we're still among the biggest drinkers in the world but the consumption has been almost divided by two in 40 years, so I'd call it a success.

[1] the only exception being in print, and the ads themselves are very limited (no sex, no party, no lifestyle: you can pretty much just show the bottle and that'd it)
> so what's the point unless you've got many heavy users?

There isn't really a point except some people like to push the boundary for fun. Agreed it's not anywhere close to necessary for normal home users. But we don't always do things just because they're necessary :)

I mentioned VyOS won't handle line rate (it'll do ~5 Mpps on average hardware) but there are options like DANOS that will. 10 Gbps is do-able with < $1k in hardware, including the server.

VPP+FRR or VPP+DPDK can handle 100 Mpps/100 Gbps across NAT. And with the new Linux Control Plane in VPP, it's possible VyOS will get support in the future (https://vyos.dev/T1797). They're also considering using eXpress Data Path (XDP).

Again, totally pointless but so are many other things we spend our time/money on.
Not sure how much choice the users have in whether reddit rolls them.
>Sites offer you content. Content costs money to create and host. They offer it in exchange for showing you ads. If you don’t like someone’s terms in a barter you don’t morally get to take their side for free.

I take your point, but the other side of the coin is that I want to control what is executed/displayed on my computers (that is, my private property). Especially since it's not just ads. It's web trackers/beacons and other tools to surreptitiously gather data about me. And I don't want to share my PII/browsing habits/interests with a bunch of strangers who just want to sell me stuff[0].

If a web site (someone else's private property) chooses to serve ads, I am under no obligation to download/execute/display those ads or anything else for that matter.

And if the owner/publisher of a website wants to insist on showing me ads (by identifying ad blockers and refusing to display actual content -- which some sites do) -- unless I disable my ad blocker), that's the website publisher's right on their private property.

But I'll say it again -- I will control what content is displayed/executed/downloaded on my private property.

You seem to think that I should give control of my devices to someone else in order to consume their content. I'm unwilling to do so. As such, if someone else doesn't like that, they are free to block me from viewing their site.

But I'm not "stealing" by blocking ads, rather I'm protecting my own interests. If you (or anyone else) wants me not to do that, then block me if I'm using an ad blocker. Making the claim that it's somehow "stealing" is ridiculous on its face.

>It is the same type of a bet when deciding to start a tire company or a car mechanic shop shortly after the first cars ever were introduced on the roads. You don't bet on the exisitng base, you bet on that base expanding extremely wildly, and you want to secure your position early.

A lot of people (and billions of VC) made that bet in 2016 with the first wave of headsets. It didn't pan out, and they got burned (myself included).

Here's hoping Apple is in this for the long haul, as they are basically the last hope for consumer VR reaching mainstream adoption.

It also promoted a lot of organized crime. Just like today (but worse, because now we have narco-states vs just gangs.

That has been my experience on any mobile network, also in 2007 or so when v4 addresses were still available (because my 15-year-old self wanted to seed torrents with my unlimited data bundle ...on GPRS). It's a fair point that one has to consider this part of the market, though I was primarily thinking of wired connections.
Interesting, is there the opposite? Where I add the mesh and it will generate the function for me?
Big disagree on the not using a framework part: far too often that's not so much a lovingly honed craft but an echo of the "websites should work just fine without JavaScript" that has long been given up as a goal but still haunts decisionmaking as an ideal that now serves as an excuse to consider everything client side secondary citizen. "It's JavaScript, right? It's supposed to an unmaintainable mess." If you dig deeper you will often hear something like "And anyways, jquery 3 is still the latest major release so this is definitely state of the art"
>"I firmly believe that the time window available for their rescue is longer than what most people think"

This assumes a level of rational, clear-headed thinking in the face of an unanticipated lethal situation. I am not convinced that most people would arrive at that state of reasoning. Especially because, as time goes by without rescue, a somewhat reasonable line of thinking will increasingly become:

"The more time they have, the more likely search & rescue is to find the vessel. I can maximize that time by minimizing the # of people using up limited resources. Let me calculate the approximate speed at which a wireless Logitech game controller must be swung in order to induce a lethal head injury to the other resource consumers..."
That’s the next thing we are working on. Support for private channels.

As a long time (16+ years) user of python and Vim, I personally find the notebook format extremely unergonomical. Maybe it would be a good option for those who haven't spent 10000 hours mastering a text editor and relating tooling, but there exist old school python devs that very much prefer a good old text editor like everyone else.
Discourse has added ActivityPub-based support for the Fediverse, using the help of The Pavilion cooperative. First release offers basic support for one-way federating of Categories which federate as Group actors that can be followed by other federated services (e.g. with Mastodon app). Federation comes as a plugin you can install via Discourse admin.

I created a separate HN submission, since not many people are aware of this development. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36435680

Vue 3 (with <script setup> is quite close to Svelte in terms of DX, but Svelte has the edge here. Svelte is so simple, elegant and concise.

The biggest advantage of Vue is the ecosystem. However, Svelte is catching up. Some interesting UI component libs have recently arisen, e.g. https://skeleton.dev.

Performance wise, both are super fast.

Make sure to check out Sveltekit, even for building pure SPAs. The routing and data loading are worth it alone.

A while back, I created an online experiment, based on a 2020 study, that identifies dogmatic thinking.

https://shaungallagher.pressbin.com/blog/dogmatism.html

Without giving too much away, this tracks with the 2023 study's results, in that people with higher intelligence scores are less likely to trust their System 1 gut reaction and more likely to involve their System 2 deliberate, logical processes.
Note that "private" has two meanings here.

Private, as in a personal subreddit that can be read by others but not posted to.

And private in the sense that the subreddit is not viewable to the world at large.

In this case, the subreddit was previously "private-as-in-personal", but not "private-as-in-not-viewable". Following the Reddit Strike, I'd taken it private-as-in-not-viewable.

As my Fediverse toot notes, I'd been very aware that Reddit could reclaim the subreddit according to its rules then in place. The pinned posts on the sub, for 2 and 3 years respectively as of this past February, discussed that amongst other concerns. The Wayback Machine shows those here:

<https://web.archive.org/web/20220224161047/https://old.reddi...>

One of those posts specifically addressed my preferences for how my subreddit should allowed to die and rest in ... ouch, typo, "piece". That post received an admin response saying that it would be a good candidate for just that.

Study reveals how immune system of astronauts breaks down
I use discord and gitkraken every day and I've never had any issues either. People just like to complain. They act as if using a few hundred megabytes for the main app you are using is an issue. It's not the 90s anymore ram is cheap, especially at those amount.
I’ve definitely noticed this recently. In the past, I’ve always had a job when searching for a job, but since being laid off, I’ve had some of the most hostile interviews I’ve ever seen.
The unlock opportunity here is likely being underestimated. I heard once "you can be ahead of so many curves by being on Twitter", now add Discord and Slack.

Also, you can remove the tediousness of Twitter feed scrolling because AI will make it easy to just ask for specific knowledge (if you know what you're looking for) or perform discovery based searching (what are some of the interesting ways in which people are using LangChain in this community). This is wild!
Appreciate the in-depth reply.

I get what you're saying about the challenge of getting people to utilise threading well, but my experience (also in tens of communities) does not align quite as strongly as yours on Slack. There are frequent times where a reply goes in the channel as opposed to in a thread, yes, but in my experience that is far from the norm and isn't really a major issue. However, the threading approach on Discord definitely is less ergonomic in terms of starting one and I quite rarely see people utilise them in channels, that's true.

I can't say I understand what distinction you see between Discord's forum channels and the proposed behaviour of Struct's upcoming chat platform.

> would have liveness indicators, and threads would be presented in a real-time format.

I do get frustrated that Slack doesn't give a clear indicator of the last message, but Discord does have various ways of indicating that: "There are no recent messages in this thread." (literally just copied that from a thread on Discord), including having the forum channels be ordered by most recent updates.

On the topic of pricing, I could see it being better for large but inactive communities, provisioning a paid Slack workspace for an open-source project is often inviable after all. But for companies and teams that actively use Slack as their main source of communication, I'm not sure I'm convinced by the numbers right now.

Typesense seems to have had those ~600 threads in 4mo (the earliest one I can see on the index), which will be an ongoing monotonically increasing cost even if their users stagnate. However, I think those ~600 threads are not at all representative of the average entity that uses Slack for professional purposes; our Slack for example sees thousands of messages a day (a large amount coming from bots that we use to notify about various things) but I appreciate that is unlikely to be a use-case Struct is aiming to support. So if we ignore the bots, there are still tens of threads a day for a team under 10 at the moment, and many companies below 100 people will see hundreds of threads a day. If we assume a conservative 25 threads a day for 50 people, then in 4 months you'd see 3000 threads, which to my understanding of the pricing would be ~$500 in Struct, compared to ~400 via Slack.

I'll admit those numbers are actually a lot closer than I initially thought upon looking at your pricing, but that's assuming what I believe to be a very conservative amount for a few people, and giving up a lot of the other benefits of having Slack / Discord (interfacing with bots, getting other kinds of notifications), and after 8 months you'd be paying well over double without starting to "forget" a large amount of your history.
Although the procedural blocking style is definitely a lot easier, you don't need language support for coroutines to do that. They could have implemented this in Java by just having two threads. One manages the robot and the other main thread blocks whilst waiting for commands to execute. The two threads swap messages using a linked blocking queue.
