I'm saying they deserve value back even outside of a gift economy.

In a monetary economy, contracts don't fit every situation, and someone deciding they don't want to make people pay for valuable code shouldn't ruin their ability to use that code as a "day job". We need to figure out better methods to reward useful work, as a society.

I pretty strongly disagree here.

The fact of the matter is just that tonnes of bugs, incompatibilities, permission problems, and bad installation experiences every Linux user is intimately familiar with, often occur because package code has no control over which versions or whatever of system-level dependencies like Xorg, Fontconfi, Cairo, etc. are already installed. This also makes it much much easier for package authors to write code which works on multiple OSs without being experts on the details of all those OSs.

Now, if there was no way around this, then you might have a point, but users always can opt-out of binary artifacts like that and point julia to their system libraries instead of the default vendoring of binary artifacts[1]. I think this is the right way to do it. Experts who want to get involved in the nitty gritty details of this stuff and who are also equipped to debug and deal with failures, can opt into using their system libraries, and the rest of us can pay some hard drive space and get a better out-of-the-box experience.

> current crop of compilers not only can produce stunningly fast code

There are highly dynamic languages like Lisp that have implementations that have generated “stunningly fast code” for ages.
I'd argue that nowadays a pre-1.0 version number usually means "this doesn't have all the features I want it to have yet" more often than "this is buggy and shouldn't be used in production yet," at least nowadays. I can't speak for Bun but I know Zig has an extensive test and timing suite to help avoid bugs or significant slow-downs making it into new releases.

As for who's using Bun in production, I don't know. But it's been around for a while and seems to have decent buzz around it in the JS community when observed from a safe distance (the proper way to observe the JS community), so I assume someone is. Take that for what it's worth.
Redhat hasn't found a bona fide loophole in the GPL. Rather they're trying to create a drag that will cause market inefficiency to accrue to them. It can only work as long as their changes stay relatively minor. The more valuable those changes are, the more incentive there is for people to break their agreement and widely publish the GPL code, perhaps even anonymously so that Redhat can't actually discontinue their access.

Sveasoft tried the same thing with WRT54G firmware back in the day, and failed so hard that apparently nobody really remembers.

Exercise some respect. We're talking about assessing probabilities of distant events on multi-decade horizons. It's going to be hand-wavy, just like your dismissal of the prospects is hand-wavy (it's unlikely because allegedly people were too optimistic about flying cars??)

Well, the horizon I pointed out is long enough that I've got relatively poor prospects of benefitting from it myself...
Sometimes I find the Proton version of a game working better than native. For example Pathfinder Kingmaker which has some kind of interface bug that makes it difficulty to progress after a certain point because the kingdom management interface doesn’t work correctly. Loaded proton version, no bug and the performance is waaaaay better. Smooth gameplay.

I’m guessing here that native games are often linked to some SDL version or something similar and might not work well with a considerable newer system.

Plenty of people use docker compose in production. If what you are standing up works fine on a single machine it works really great, if you need something that runs in a more distributed manner, there are tools for converting a docker compose file to a set of kubernetes manifests. Docker compose also has some really nice features around using .env files so it’s easy to test/develop locally and deploy as a 12 factor app.
I agree to some degree. A local business that says “bakery” is fine in my eyes. It’s the crazy billboard and flashy signs that should go away.

Show HN: DashMap – A dash cam navigation app
Hi HN,

The other day I was stuck in traffic, and I looked around and couldn't help myself notice the following. The cars next to me all have the same things -- dash cam and phone for navigation. I thought, why not just one of them?

Introducing DashMap, a dash cam app with turn-by-turn navigation. No more pulling out micro SD card or connecting to the dash cam's wifi when there's an accident. Just stop recording and your video is there.

Renting a car when you travel overseas? All you need is to bring your phone holder and voila. If you have an accident, simply just show the video to local police.

Uber drivers who are afraid of drunk riders? You can use the front facing camera.

Simplicity is our goal. We know that some dash cams have more features like 24/7 recording, but all of these come with costs like killing your car's battery. We want to deliver an integrated user experience for our users that even your grandma knows how to use it.

Check it out and would love to hear your comments.

Currently exclusive to iOS users.

I don't understand the reasoning in performing this type of deep analysis. If the purpose of the device is to enhance education, it can be in the classroom. If it it's not, it's essentially a toy, and it has no place in the classroom. Why even bring dopamine in to it?
They've basically moved onto https://nafo.uk / Mastodon instance now, if you wanna see what its mostly about. (I guess I see on Mastodon.world as well)

Is there a problem with this? If you have a problem to solve and nobody's telling you you have to use certain tools to solve it, why not try a new tool yourself and see if it solves it better than the old ones? I do this whenever I can on client projects and I've found some rather pleasant tools this way.

That sounds impractical at scale. Whenever I pass by construction I see the materials haphazardly strewn about. How could you possibly ensure that all of the rebar used is never scratched when it has to pass through dozens/hundreds of hands before it is finally set?

> Statistically, a westerner (not ex Chinese national) has less chance of being thoroughly fucked with in PRC than an ethnically Chinese scientist in the US via China Initiative.

You call them useful idiots, but then call them spies. Which are they? Unknowingly assisting intelligence agencies or illegal spies?

Where is the evidence, the PRC refused to provide any... and I'm sorry, but CSIS celebrating the release of a Canadian citizen isn't evidence they are a spy. Look at their feed, it's full of Canada related stuff all the time.
No, you don't need homogeneity of thought and opinion. There's an obvious difference between holding an opinion and taking an action. Thinking it would be best for a group to fail and actively trying to make said group fail are two different things. Furthermore, the value of different thoughts and opinions is in the difference of approach and perspective, not necessarily in the thoughts or opinions themselves. The value comes from the act of consideration of other opinions and thoughts, not from blindly doing whatever other people (who may happen to disagree with you) want.
In the past, Mozilla has quarantined several things outside of the reach of standard Firefox customizing tools. Every time it has been because compromising one of those things would result on the user not being able to manage the configurations or even seeing that something different is happening.

IMO, the most likely usage is that they will use it to disallow extensions on the extension store.
Theoretically, would the world we can observe live in only one of these spaces (and if so, which one) and there would be an alternate reality or are these spaces intrinsically linked to each other?

How does this interact with quantum mechanics? Would spaces A and B evolve differently over time depending on the randomness of quantum behavior or are the outcomes of quantum interactions shared between both spaces?
It is indeed likely to be an anorthite-based glass, because anorthite is very abundant, but in any case even without those research papers the description suggests that it must be some kind of alumo-silicate glass.

If the use of such glass would become widespread, we would actually revert to the use of a glass similar in composition with obsidian, a material preferred by our remote ancestors.

My understanding was that it is an analog signal of current. The voltage of which spikes when the Neuron fires. The signal travels along the dendrites and may boost or deactivate other neurons.
I agree with pretty much this whole chain of comments, at least in spirit.

As someone who has turned his interests into his business, it really can be tough. I have always loved infrastructure, and I have always loved maintaining certain applications and workload types.

On the one hand, you do start to understand after awhile what the “MVP” looks like. On the other hand you can eventually fairly well predict what your top feature requests will be right out of the gate.

Integrating the two effectively while actually getting something out the door can be a real challenge. I have criticized many firms and offerings for not having “basic feature X,” but as someone who is building a product that’s effectively never complete, I’m sure someone could say that to me too, about at least a few things. Some come immediately to mind.

And I’m still sort of surprised at times by what my own customers do and do not want or ask for, or even care about. When my interests are aligned with theirs, the product/service can move forward really quickly. When they’re not, it can be a struggle to iterate effectively.
I didn't realize how much pressure there can be on memory. This explains that part of Apple's M1/2 performance is just from SoC benefits, and that even in non-IO applications, hyperthreading is more than a marketing gimmick.

I think you massively overestimate how much it affects your success in this field. Maybe if we were in the modeling business or another where looks are critical. But we’re not; your looks are not an indicator of your skills, the actual thing people are judging.

While what you described is theoretically possible, I've never seen any mobile provider implement it. The reason is fairly simple: if you cared about the security of your sim, you'd set a sim pin. If you don't, you don't set a pin. Requiring reauthentication every time your IMEI is going to cause a massive increase in support calls for very little security gain.
> You'd prefer to debate the entirety of the sources themselves as part of determining the validity of the original claims.

No, because I'm discussing the data. That's why it is the roots. My claim about the sources you mentioned are the stalk, which is rotten. Because they are misinterpreting or misunderstanding the data and making conjecture that isn't validated. I haven't really discussed (1) but I've extensively discussed (2) and (3).
