There is no use case for 8-bit home computers or home 3D printers either.
In this case many FOSS projects that depend on it will just not update because of license incompatibility.
Well, When you have "you can use it as long as you do not X" it is not Open Source :)
It's weird. Without Open Source, I don't know how small companies could compete against, I don't know... Oracle, for example.

You mean you kept paying them for blocked accounts? Can't you just block the payment directly?

Though you might be able to sue them. They took your money without providing the service you paid for. Though I must say it's a bizarre business practice to block paid accounts without even explaining why. It's another lesson not to rely on these large faceless corporations.
> working on open source software is and can be a "real" job. the only difference to closed source software is that the source code is open - nothing else (simplified).

That is no small difference. In particular the business is completely different and if you want to make a living out of it, you should plan your job accordingly: find an employer that pays you to write the software, make a business around support for the software, open a twitch/YouTube channel and monetize it, etc., but asking people (or worse corporations) that have the right to use something for free to pay for it doesn't look to me like the best course of action.

> if you want your hair cut, pay the hairdresser. if you're interested in the continued development of the project, pay the author. it's as simple as that.

If you offer to cut the hair for free, you shouldn't complain that rich people don't pay for your services, and the "but everybody comes to me" is not a good enough reason, especially when being free is one of the motivations.
Yes, I think they should be forced to.

Note that this still (of course) requires following said person on said instance. So people won't be spammed by views they disagree with. Mastodon is no different than, say, Facebook there. You still need to explicitly follow people. Mastodon doesn't even have an "algorithm".

But I can't see any positives from being able to defederate like this. What is the main benefit to remove the freedom of your users to follow people?
"but...8K ? 32 inch? curved?"

It depends much on the type of work one is doing. I don't have 8k but I'd surely love to have one when I'm editing high resolution 48-bit TIFF files (≥1GB) which I do quite often.

Normally for other work 1920x1080 is more an adequate.

There are probably a ton of projects that depend on libjpeg-turbo, but the first thing that comes to mind are browser vendors. It's probably fair to say that most jpegs are viewed in web browsers.

Metal halide (MH) bulbs have been used for a long time now in street lighting, low-pressure sodium vapor (LPS) was just one of the first applications of the technology. Metal halide has a much whiter/bluer light and covers more of the spectrum than LPS.

I do believe though, that LEDs for such industrial applications don't or shouldn't suffer the same issues as the little LED bulbs we buy for the home, due to better QC and construction.
I am much more worried about the huge trove of culturally and historically significant content being locked in an ad infested garden than I am about today's content creators.

Yeah, on Mastodon we usually do so by not following that person?

This is not what I'm talking about but the infrastructure issue of internal strife between admins affecting tens of thousands of users for the most ridiculous of reasons, and this has not just been a hypothetical scenario, unfortunately.

And no, setting up your personal instance isn't a realistic solution for most people who just want to chat.
This is the sort of comment that keeps me coming back to HN - incredible. You were absolutely right that livetweeting TV is one of the great uses of Twitter, and it's a real shame this never got a wider rollout.

During the pandemic we started a sort of "virtual mst3k": cue up a film, everyone presses play at a particular time, and tweet along with jokes and the occasional screenshot. We're now up to film #300 and still haven't run out of "bad" movies. An endless source of cinematic surprises.

("bad" is very loosely defined, but if it's a critical success or made a lot of money, that's probably not it. We've seen a lot of Roger Corman, Shawscope, Hammer, Amicus, Cannon Films, Dino de Laurentiis etc)

> ultimately, like most things at Twitter, never shipped.

This is why the "Twitter will die instantly when 80% of the engineers are sacked" takes were wrong, isn't it? 80% of the engineers were working on products that would never see the light of day, instead.
In my opinion, excess greed is far more harmful.

I am very glad I get to use open-source software at no cost. There are profiteers, sure, but I believe in the end open-source software will be more beneficial for society as a whole as it is much easier to reuse code.

Point 4: as a notorious economics philosopher once said, "never get high on your own supply."

Along with not immediately blowing the petro money on a national level, Norway taxes petroleum products more heavily for local consumption than even its high tax neighbors - for a long time, gasoline was cheaper in Germany than in Norway, and Germany has high fuel taxes like pretty much every other European country (EU and non).
SQLite is a Library. Just start a new sqld project that imports SQLite and you're done. It's like Django making a fork of SQLite so they can include SQLite in Django?

They're just adding more complexity to a well established project. NIH syndrome to me.
I hate everything about this. Everything Meta touches turns to dystopian shit.
Maybe I'm wrong about the lock-in. Its features don't seem very compatible with anything else. Do you export the highlighting as Word styles or something? I think you would get more interest if you explained your compatibility features more. No one wants to invest time an effort in a new system they're unsure of unless they have a clear path out of it. That's why note taking systems based on Markdown are popular.
The license is probably a reason for its popularity.

Unrelated: I used ChatGPT to generate remark.js presentation HTML code from some content. It did generate the code, but it inserted a GA snippet along with a random GA account code at the bottom of the code.

Good. I hope the same authority does a round of fines for companies using noncompliant tracking opt out UX too. A nice chunk of total revenue as a fine without prior warning for anyone showing the "Accept all/Show purposes" question would be delicious.

What personal data? If you only use that Google Account to watch YouTube, there's only your viewing habits plus all the information you provide when creating the account (name, address, phone, payment, all of which can be obscured to an extent)..
For those who look for an alternative https://plausible.io is a great replacement.
No. Functional programming is programming with functions as values. It is not incompatible with data hiding (for example through modules).

Anti trust for a free service?

Unless you mean from an ads perspective, but there are many ad companies.
As miserly as this is I’ll probably end up paying their Danegeld as long as they don’t mess with SponsorBlock too. My motivation is a straightforward ‘see as few ads as possible at as little cost as possible’. Of course the problem with Danegeld is that it’s usually a temporary solution to the Viking problem, I bet they’ll start infesting premium with ads at some point too.

At the end of the day business to consumer advertising on YouTube boils down to ‘waste x of your limited breaths and heartbeats being lied to and gaslit by a brand’ and I genuinely don’t understand how someone can believe adtech like that is a social good unless their salary directly depends on it. Advertising is psychological pollution and I believe online it should be strictly regulated in the same way advertising is regulated on British TV.

Don't stalk people is the alternative.

On Mastodon, no one is forced to listen to anyone without a follow. You don't have to worry about that. This is not what I'm talking about, but the infrastructure problem.

I've repeated myself a lot already so I refer you to one of my replies to your sibling comments if you still want to discuss this.
Throw some ML and NFTs in there and I'm sure you could get this funded.
It is about so much more. It is any personal data that facebook store that is not strictly necessary to provide the core products (such as messaging or sharing content).

You bought some medicine online and the store shared that with Facebook. It can be location data from images. In theory it could also be things like "you messaged a person who leans towards a particular political side". All is data that can be data mined and used to calculate the highest revenue advertisement at any specific time you load a Facebook page.

Two high profit questions that historically advertisement networks want to find out is when someone is expecting children, and when they are most likely to go to Disneyland.

You won't find one because you've given an arbitrary limitation that is contrary to how Meta do business. Threads is not even standalone because it uses the Instagram graph.
But the existing version under the permissive license already exists, and everyone can keep using it or even fork it. The only way a change to a more restrictive license could work is if there were really compelling features only available in that version.

I can understand the logic behind why "a single banana" doesn't prevent two bananas from showing up though: there is a single banana casting a shadow on a grey background in the image. And then there is another one. That's why you have to specify "on its own" to get rid of the second one...
Yeah, it takes forever to produce a mediocre result. Bing Chat and Kagi’s FastGPT are much more usable. Or even Kagi’s Quick Answer and Summarize feature on search results.
That's certainly not true. Interoperability for basic features such as text, photos, videos, posts and comments doesn't mean apps are not free to add more features. Also, having an extendable framework will easily account for this
Filling in the blank with what has not happened. LLMs interpolate quite well but they don't extrapolate. Very interesting article where you can or cannot put LLMs to use. It's not necessarily a bug, but we are yet to see.
Same in latest Chrome.
If it blocked you until it was finished, then you wouldn't be able to handle a timeout because you would be blocked waiting for it to finish, so you'd have no capacity to realise the task needed to timeout (unless you wrote multithreaded code to detect the timeout "out of band"). If it doesn't block you, then you won't know whether it's been committed or not and so now you have to write some kind of loop to continuously test whether the query you just executed has been committed, abandoned or is still in progress.

In principle, you could have some kind of configuration that says "try to commit this for so long, but if you can't commit it by then just abort". But you haven't really solved the manual retry problem, just made it somewhat less likely to occur.

As far as I know, given the costs of a request, most database servers tend to use the latter approach. But in SQLite requests are very much cheaper, and at least part of SQLite's work happens in your thread, so it goes for the former approach. But from an end programmer's perspective it's only a quantitative difference, not a qualitative one.

Also, "the database" is a highly ambiguous term, but in SQLite it can really only refer to a file on disk. There's no database server, it's just a library that you call to manipulate the file. So who even is the database server? Maybe it's the code you're writing. Maybe it's you who should be handling this stuff. And that's SQLite's decision, and fair enough too. SQLite isn't trying to be a database server, it never offered to be a database server, and you shouldn't think it's a database server. You should think of it as a library for executing SQL queries against a file that holds a relational database. If you think that's tantamount to being a database server, then consider what you normally mean by "server". Is a library for manipulating zip files tantamount to an FTP server?
Mining, as I've known it, uses Haulpak trucks onsite that each carry > 110 tonnes.

They fill a train a day (at least), the trains being some 2.4 kilometers in length carrying some 29,000 tonnes that typically travel some 100km from minesite to coastal port.

Ship capacities are 380,000 to 400,000 tons deadweight and travel about the globe.

"Tractor trailors" (or two to three trailer road trains) as you're describing are used to bring food and supplies and general light goods too and from a minesite.

There are such things as economies of scale.
Because of the law in US that the governments have right to all data stored on any server that a US company or its subsidiaritets own. That clash with the EU GDPR law and the fact that Sweden categorize IP-adress as a Privacy data point.

I.e they can switch to a European vendor that do tracking and analytics.
I had expected such orders after GDPR went into effect. I guess I was young and naive back then...
For that they'd need to improve their UX. I pay for it (on top of YT Premium) for the principle, and try to use it as much as possible, but it's often a forced experience. For instance some videos refuse to load, downloads sometimes don't work, notifications are unreliable, there are no playlists so creators create whole new channels for a special series which is hard to keep track of, etc.
Idk, I'd get nonfunctioning code. With explanations of what every piece of code does. Just that the code it is explaining, is actually gibbrish.
I think for Instagram, Twitter and presumably Threads, very few people will use or bother with the web app. It's just not apps for the desktop.

> It would be one thing if <iostream> were just annoying to use, but it poses problems for localization, thread-safety, accidental misuse through its statefulness, and its operator overloading syntax is bad.

It's Bjarne (Stroustrup)'s pet feature. You'll notice that many expert practitioners of C++ write std::println("Hello, world"); or similar for a canonical C++ 23 Hello World, but Bjarne pointedly still writes it with std::cout and the iostream operator overloads.

Now that Bjarne is back at Columbia teaching, there's a risk he'll infect impressionable young people with this nonsense, COMSW4995 was not an intro class and I suspect Bjarne's jetsetting makes it impractical to teach such a class, so this risk is small but not zero.

"Roll your own" is hubris, unless you have the time, energy, inclination, theoretical knowledge, etc; I wouldn't try and solve solved problems if you can help it.

But, host your own is definitely recommended IMO; a lot of the GDPR issues are resolved if you just host your own, because no data is shared to a 3rd party. Then you only need to worry about getting some approval and data retention. I'm sure data retention is a non-issue if you process raw analytics data (that can be traced back to a user) into generalized statistics, too.

Possibly. Switching to GPL would probably mean that chromium can no longer use it (I think they use it currently, but I'm not 100% sure). Then they could switch to an other permissively licensed jpeg library that is maintained (is there any?), roll their own (probably forking an old version), or persuade the author to consider licensing new versions permissively (hopefully with some money).
