> First of all, some of them DO call themselves that even though they unambiguously aren't. And even for the ones that don't, they usually try to sound as similar as possible to it and downplay the differences.

There was understandably uproar about things like the "Commons Clause" and similar attempts to retrofit obligations to pay onto open source licenses. I have no disagreement with rejecting these as misrepresentations of open source. But if no such misrepresentation takes place, this line of objection is bogus. I gave an example of one license that does not misrepresent itself in such a way. I'm sure there are others and if not, attempts should perhaps be made to develop others, just as we have multiple open source licenses available.

>> Regardless, something needs to be done about the sustainability gap in open source other than writing messages like what's linked.

> That feels like the politician's fallacy. We need to do something, and switching to fauxpen source is something, but that doesn't mean we need to switch to fauxpen source.

I regret my phrasing, "something needs to be done," which does indeed sound like a politician. So let me rephrase. There is an axis, with proprietary secret source code and FOSS anchoring the ends. This axis is a good proxy for monetizability, but the axis itself is about freedom. With secret source, no user gets any benefit from the source. Source available, is, to me, a genuinely constructive attempt to address the need for developers to be compensated, while still giving users many of the benefits of access to the source.

I don't think source available is going to be something we "switch to" so much as, if some developers need income from the code they put out there, this is a far more user-centric option than telling everyone to download binaries for platforms they may or may not use and submit themselves to intrusive license checks. If you want to get a job at a RedHat or Collabora or try to have your employer cover your open source time instead, more power to you, source available certainly doesn't stand in the way of that.

> It's not just one project that can't. If a given bit of code isn't open source, then NO open source projects can incorporate it.

Open source projects have no hope of incorporating secret source software either. At least with source available, users can look at the code, make changes, build it themselves, and if they fit whatever "gratis" criteria are a part of the license, they don't have to pay either.
Pandoc is really amazing. Sometimes, it makes me re-re-re-re learn how to drive latex/tex config to e.g. make a .sty file work, but aside from that I haven't had to worry HOW it made the PDF for almost everything I do. (I use arev.sty to get bitstream/mono fonts and make some things look a bit more microsoft-y)

Haskell had a significant "win" for me there: real world code I depend on, written in an FP language.

I do sometimes wish I could make tables which were less "TeX-y" -which is running a bit counter to the style/vibe but I do miss more boring tables a la TBL/Troff

I currently live in org mode in emacs and use various org mode exports to get things which I like better through pandoc, but pandoc direct from org mode isn't bad.

I haven't yet had to do indexing, or bib. indexing is really hard. Well.. there's simple but time consuming (multi pass) and there's hard (what you index) and there's re-indexing to suit the pagination of the form you render.

I did Kindle direct print for a real author from word inputs and it was a journey. When you find yourself hunting for guides to GSM weights of paper to calculate your thickness to position the spine to define the ISBN region...

Cut marks are another bugbear. It should be easier to just tell something (pdf stage?) to insert/intrude cross hairs at the cutmark points you want.

There's definitely some of that, but it's a minority. Most people are just enjoying being weird and horny on a new platform.
Ah, I see. So you're essentially arguing that content shouldn't be restricted to children because they're either ready to view the content on should be educated by their parents on why they shouldn't view the content. That's different than your initial argument that parental controls provide adequate content restrictions.
Memory is just the most common. Most software does not involve complicated calculations to get to the other reasons.
I think the idea that creators should not get paid is the issue here. It’s much more generic than open source. Another example of the same issue is how creators receive nothing for exploitation of their works by VC-funded AI companies. In both cases, the same imbalance between creators (who get nothing) and exploiters (who get billions of dollars of revenue) exists.

Forget 4K, 6K, or 8K. Pixel density is the spec when considering any display. It doesn't matter if it's a wearable, phone, laptop, monitor, TV, or stadium wrapping LED surface, the only important factors for resolution are the distance to the viewer's eyes and the distance between the pixels.

For context, 20/20 vision is the ability to perceive 1 arcminute of angular resolution. Beyond that point there are diminishing returns.

> NoZebra120vClip@: EDIT: Headline says "Wikipedia" but screenshots are allegedly "Wikidata" which is really different.

OP: We use "Wikipedia" here because that's what most audience might recognize. In technical specifics, the site is Wikidata.org which is a sister project of Wikipedia, also supported by Wikimedia Foundation and share the same spirit. The Wikipedia is powered by software called MediaWiki, and Wikidata uses an extension of MediaWiki called Wikibase. It has its whole ecosystem and terminologies like all other open source movement.
No worries your initial response was clear to me. My question was under the assumption that you couldn’t mathematically pick an arbitrary pair of curve and finite field, but I guess any choice is fine as long as the parties agree ahead of time.
I also ANAL, but as far as I can discern I believe the argument is that "race-neutral" admissions are incompatible with giving favorable treatment to a racially biased group, and legacy students are (presently) a racially biased group. It fundamentally is an attempt to force the court to decide whether the mandate of "race neutrality" is anything more than a fig leaf: if you can be "race neutral" while giving preferential treatment to racially biased groups, it is very easy to follow the rule while still producing a racially biased and non-meritocratic system.
Read for comprehension, not just look at words and remember the last ones. It helps.
Great article. Side note: his normalization example reminded me how I used to design tables using a numeric primary key thinking they were more performant than strings. But then I’d have a meaningless id which required a join to get the unique value I actually wanted. One day I realized I could use the same unique key in both tables and save a join.

Simple realization. Big payoff

> NoZebra120vClip@: Just because someone has reserves of ETH, they get to say what a valid edit is?

> NoZebra120vClip: What's the point of some random person "endorsing" an edit? I'm not sure how a wholly external PKI could be any help in "endorsing" edits. A user's ETH wallet has no relation to their reputation or trustworthiness on WMF sites.

> World177: ... Though, I think blockchain based identities are objectively better. In implementation, it doesn't have to be a random person, it could be anyone or any organization that could endorse changes...

OP: Actually to use this tool we don't require anyone to own any ethers. It's just a digital signature signed with Ethereum compatible wallet.

And I am super glad that @World177 pointed it out. That's exactly what where we are going. If we could let people sign with identities that's crypographically and blockchain native, we could further expand it with other social and tech architecture. For example, with support of Ethereum Name Service or other DID, people could sign with their identiteis associated with some institutions or organizations. Or they could collaboratively sign - e.g. a committee of reputable peer review group would only sign as a whole when their signatures aggregates to beyond the threshold.

There is also another possiblitity that we establish a decentarlized computer graph based on "who has endorsed whose edits" so that the editors who are endorsed by more people, has a greater power endorsing others. Visualize the similar approach of Google's PageRank or Facebook's EdgeRank except for each vertex could be an editor's decentralized identity or an article, and each link could be the endorsement relationship or the author-article relationship.
Yes, since many years my minimum requirements for any monitor are 4k resolution and 30-bit Display P3 / DCI P3 colors. There are plenty of very affordable monitors like this.

I would like very much to also have an 120 Hz frame rate, but then the price would become much higher.

Because you say so? lol.

> I'm not going to argue with the stubborn child that wants to put their fingers in the outlet. This isn't up for discussion.

There is no discussion to be had with someone that asserts their opinion as fact but can't corroborate it as such. Such a person is indeed a stubborn child, and them calling others a stubborn child can be dismissed like any other nonsense a child may say in an emotional state.
I'm not going to ready this, but lots of text editors will allow you to customize code highlighting colors with all sorts of shades of green. But that's also the color of money which invokes the tyranny of capitalism. So Programming Languages are all red pilled, but that's also the color of communism. So you will be stuck in a recursive loop forever toggling between sitting in your penthouse sucking adrenochrome from infant skulls, and dying from starvation in a mass grave while committing thought crimes.
> "Cluetrain" though seems far more like mush to me.

The fact that you don’t see the irony of posting this comment on a web forum sponsored by a startup accelerator shows that it’s probably by far the most influential of the three.
I assume you remember when Facebook launched their 'Hack' programming language. This should be less of an issue. unless you're looking for the BBC series about nuclear war.
> bawolff@: This system is signing the revision id number (im assuming based on the video). ...

OP: that's totally true, bawolff@. Our intention was to show case the signing part End-to-end workflow prototype. In real production one could be signing for a diff patch, or a full update.

> NoZebra120vClip@: ... Also, if this signature isn't recorded on the blonkchain, then where is it going to be recorded? Wikidata ain't holding it for you. You've got to put it somewhere. Are you going to use IPFS or Dropbox or something?

OP: I am glad that you brought it up! Yes, that's something we are comtemplating right now. It could be a IFPS, it could be a centralized server that we own, or a Wikimedai Toolforge. The good part is, it could be both, and also decentralized. Being a cryptographic signature, anyone who hold a copy of an endorsement could validate if their are true. We put out this prototype to solicit wise and inspiring feedbacks like yours, and hopefully we can improve our product. We also ask for open source contributors who are interested.
What time zones would you consider for remote work?
I don't really understand it either, but in my alma mater, a random small public liberal arts college, it is the case that the building closest to the CS building was the education building.
> NoZebra120vClip@: Wikipedians also use something called a "Committed Identity" which is a cryptographic proof of their identity, which can be used to recover an account if credentials don't work. Since it's encrypted, it doesn't amount to revealing your real-life identity, it merely provides a mechanism for them to verify it with your cooperation.

OP: Thank you for brought it up. The growing adoptiton of crypto wallets brings hope for more people to sign as this Wallet apps are built for regular users so their user experience is much easier than PGP / "Committed Identity tools which is SHA-256 and other options even though those options has existed for decades. A metaphor will be FaceID / TouchID supported PassKey vs other crypographic signing GNU libraries.

> bawolff@: You could definitely do better than what they were doing, but i dont see how you would be able to distinguish between a signature on a real edit and one on a fake edit that never existed on wiki.

OP: In our prototype, an endorsement is being signed. In production, it's possible that people will add their signature for their edits tool. We hope increasingly people will sign their edits so there is an increasing subset of Wikipedia edits that could benefit from decentralized signature that doesn't rely on Wikimedia or centralized entities to verify. The adoption will not happen overnight, just like The HTTPS.

No one used incandescent street lights! Instead compare LEDs to sodium vapor lights and they don't come off so well. In fact they are worse, but the street looks nicer (it's in color).

Super sensitive ones, yes. It's usually just a matter of copy and pasting the ciphertext into a GPG app and then see it get decrypted.

Other common and non-sensitive notifications (like "Hey there's an SSH login on this machine!") I don't encrypt since I see no reason to having them encrypted in the first place.
> bawolff@: Of course you could have a trusted third party verify the edits, but in that case you might as well just use a normal website.

OP: In that version of future, we no longer need a trusted third-party to verify the edits.
I think the brittleness is an accepted tradeoff here. In theory, people save many more times than they open a file in this sort of program (and in games), so it's advantageous to make saving a fast path and loading a slow path.

I have a Go 2. It’s interesting but the workflow is pretty tedious. I find that unless something is shot and on my phone, or shot on a proper camera for a client and thus worth ingesting and editing, anything else is just painful. GoPro, Osmo Pocket, Go, etc.
Well, I was talking specifically simulations of quantum systems (physical and chemical). Interesting is indeed vague, what I meant systems that people study outside of attempt to create a hard-to-simulate (classically) quantum system. Say, 2D Hubbard model or some 2D topological insulator.

Optimization (VQE, QAOA and stuff like that) also is realizable on NISQ. I'm more sceptical about its usefulness but it is hard to say.

Shor's algorithms is definitely outside of NISQ, I don't think anyone serious about QC thinks otherwise. From there to "no applications for NISQ" is a far fetch.

> justsomeadvice0@: But why in the world would you want to use the same key that can instantaneously shred the dollars in your bank account to ensure authorship of some edit on a website article?... It is a neat hack, that would fare tragically when applied to the masses.

You are right that neat hack doesn't always applied to the masses. The assumption that we will have the level of mass adoptions will be a dream. Today, it doesn't. and we are just exploring and option. it's totally possible that this is a bad idea. And we have options to mitigate that such as using ERC-5453 endorsement, or using "semi sig" which will be e.g. a signature that's half size of normal etheruem size etc. but there is a long way to go for the whole industry to improve its UX.

I think we envision a (long term) future where most fund are kept in contract wallets that operated under proper limits and multi-sig or signaure aggregation requirments.
And these days, 96 ppi is the de facto standard, via the CSS specification:

https://webplatform.github.io/docs/tutorials/understanding-c...

It's as if the Windows spec were retconned into being the historical norm all along, but I need to dig around to find the origin story here... Why 96 dpi?

My simple guess is that 96 is also divisible by 12, and thus easy to split up into 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 18, 24 parts... you also have eight pieces in 72 for every nine pieces in 96.

72 = 8 x 9 = 2^3 * 3^2
96 = 32 x 3 = 2^5 * 3

Huh. Never really realized that...
