I typically look up and read a paper when it's referenced in discussion or cited in something else, I'm reading/watching, and the purported contents seem surprising to me. This normally happens 3 or 4 times a week.

Honestly many papers are written in a way that's hard to approach and difficult to understand unless you're prepared to reread them a few times.

You're better off just getting your science news from actual science communicators and not the raw source.

> Of course, this does give steam your users' IP addresses.

A rendezvous is unavoidable, even for UDP P2P. The hole puncher server would be the rendezvous -- or the STUN (P2P) / TURN (TCP) server if you wanted to make the smarter choice and use an existing protocol. Either way, the rendezvous gets the IP no matter what.

The only way to avoid leaking the IP to some middle party is to use port forwarding and manual communication of the IP.
The word "capitalism" is. The word only needed to be created when there was something to contrast it to. We don't have a word for "the system wherein individuals are considered to exist" because nobody has seriously suggested we don't exist.

Similarly there was no word for "the economic system where buyers and sellers of goods and services _aren't_ forbidden from buying and selling those goods and services except from and to the state" until communists turned up and proposed a system with that restriction. We didnt need a word for "an economy where commerce is permissible", in other words, until someone suggested it might be forbidden.

There is no circumvention of the GPL going on, or any loophole in the license being exploited.

It's basically "I'm only going to be your friend and provide you with free software with my cool and useful modifications if you don't redistribute it to your other friends. (Which you're allowed to do, but I just won't be your if I catch you doing that, and won't give you any more)."

There isn't anything the GPL can do about that, without becoming a crazy non-free license. It's entirely out of its scope.

The behavior doesn't step on any user rights, because:

1. It doesn't remove their rights to what they already have (software they have downloaded under the Subscription Agreement).

2. Users do not have a right to enter into or remain in a Subscription Agreement with Red Hat; there is no such right.

3. People have a right to refuse to redistribute something. If you have some GPLed program I want, and I ask for it, you can say no. If you say yes to giving me binaries, then you can't say no to giving the source (for just that specific version of those binaries and nothing more).

4. People have access to the original software; they can make their own distribution from scratch to compete with Red Hat.

There is no intent in the GPL whatsoever to prevent Red Hat's behavior; there is no wording that could even remotely have that interpretation.

The person who came up with the license probably disagrees with the behavior, but he didn't put anything in the license to prevent it and probably wouldn't find it a good idea to try to use a copyright license to try to do that.
I will make the claim that most large companies could run way more productively if 50% of middle management was let go, and their salary was used to hire people who do the front line work instead.

Yes some middle management is required. But a lot less than people think.

The most productive and profitable company I ever worked for was organised around teams. With no middle management between the teams and the CEO. Lucrative team bonuses was used to incentivise people to generate a profit for the company and collaborate to achieve it. It worked spectacularly.

Had to be about a year ago - I pulled down the latest sources for gnu emacs and built them on my next slab running OpenStep 4.2 (I think? 3.3?) - I think I had to tweak one source file and I joked about how long it took to build ("this really feels like I'm getting something done!") but it worked. Not Firefox, obviously, but an impressive amount of backwards compatibility in that codebase.
Long time HN'er college dropout and I read a LOT of scientific papers. Probably an average of 4 a week over the past couple of decades, sometimes reading 40 in a week.

> AFAIK Chromebooks are actually normal PC laptops with different firmware and OS

while it used to be (pre-2016), this is no longer correct. Audio in particular is significantly different than non-Chromebook laptops.

> I saw "Purchasing Drivers" was are you f'ing kidding me

you're right, the dev who wrote the custom drivers for the Chromebook audio should make them free "for exposure"

> Aren't they possibly just the freely available official manufacturer's drivers INF-edited with the slightly different device IDs of the hardware?

no, because they don't exist. They are custom written by the dev (coolstar).

> If I remember correctly, someone was able to turn a Chromebook into a standard PC by just flashing the BIOS corresponding to the identical non-Chromebook model, but this was a long time ago.

this is absolutely not possible on any ChromeOS device, unless you want a warm brick.

When people use "freeloaders" the way you mean, I agree. But there is one case where it's appropriate: when people or companies take software released under a permissive free license and create a proprietary fork of it.
I was told this by a doctor and just couldn't believe it was true, turns out good habits like consistent wake time and winding down well before lying in bed are super important.
The issue is not when MOST public libraries were established but when "public libraries", as a concept, was established.

So-called "capitalism" (a purely propagandistic word) has existed as long as there have existed pairs of persons A and B such that A has some X and B has some Y and A desires Y more than X and B desires X more than Y. The natural thing to do here is exchange X and Y, satisfying both A and B. We didnt need a name for "the economic system where trade is allowed" until a few insane people suggested that all trade should go through a government middleman and lack of consent should be ignored.
Hopefully you are joking and not intentionally committing a hate crime by using the "b**er" word to disparage against the chronologically challenged
For an inkjet driving the nozzles is the nasty bit. First figure out which ones to fire when, then you have to actually do it. I'm told by those in the know that this really just can't be done well enough in software, you need the timing control of FPGA/ASIC solutions. So, very doable, but hard.

To get a rough idea of the frequencies involved, consider a 1440x1440 DPI printer, with a 12" wide axis and 1" swath. Assume the printhead can move across the full 12" around 5 times per second (this is really fast), for a standard 8.5x11 portrait print this turns out to be around 1 page every 2.2 seconds or 27 pages per minute; at this speed the printhead is moving at 60 inches per second, so for 1440 DPI each nozzle needs to be pulsed at 1440x60=86400kHz or an 11us period, which is not that fast in terms of digital electronics. However, if you're firing 1440 nozzles in parallel, then the total throughput of the data that needs to go into the printhead goes up to 124.416MHz, or closer to 500MHz for all 4 colours, but this is easily parallelisable.

That said, those numbers are probably on the high end and represent a fast printer; I'm not even sure any consumer inkjet can do full-colour 1440 DPI at 27PPM.
Tenants are required to use building wifi? Nobody can choose to use cable/dsl and run their own wifi AP?

No DSL or cable because the building was never wired for POTS or cable. The building runs Cat6 and satellite TV to every room, and it's included in the rent. Why would you pay for another service when you're getting 250/250 service plus video at every large wall?

Should we call them Soviet scientists then? Neither Russian science nor (esp.) Ukrainian science can be taken individually.

Bogolyubov and Korolyev both are Russian names. Bogolyubov was born in Russia and he didn't speak any Ukranian, which maybe important here.

I don't have a skin in the game. If Bogolyubov then came to US and did some research here, we could call him Russian born Ukranian-American.

It's OK to list all the affiliations, it is not OK to pick and choose.

"Russian" is correct (technicality, as this was indeed his nationality specified in the passport) but incomplete. Just "Ukranian" is incorrect.

Yeah, we can do better. This conversation is an example how things could be blown out of proportion.

You are correct - I have the same book with the CD of RHL still stuck to the back. I don’t think I ever installed it, but I did install Mandrake Linux and used the dummy book to learn it. Why such an odd distro like Mandrake? I literally found it on the shelf in a Best Buy. I was already a heavy Unix user at work (we all had dumb terminals running Solaris) and I really wanted that experience on my personal system, thus started my

You don't get a refund from Disneyland if they kick you out for stealing.

Additionally typically most of the value of the things people purchased is over when actions are taken. You can argue they are owed something but a complete refund is a stretch.

For instance at minimum any show can't be worth more than the delta between renting it the number of times you watched and what you paid.
There is no "legal definition". There is just the definition. The legal benefits are tied to marriage because of what marriage is, not because of its name. If you want the legal benefits extended to you, then make that the law. But the benefits are restricted to marriage because marriage is a particular institution with a particular social purpose: producing the next generation in a stable environment. That is something only marriage has been proven to be able to do.
Planes

Are you under the impression that airplane wifi reaches the ground, or that apartment buildings are 20,000 feet tall? Even if that was true, planes move at hundreds of miles per hour, so clearly you're not posing a serious argument.
What I really wanted to tackle when I started to build Arc was complexity. Because that was the single biggest hurdle I had always faced and lost during my career. If you think about it, developers have always been obsessed about making their code scalable & performant.

I feel the same. I was there in the room when he gave the talk: it was the first software-devs conference I'd attended and I was so green that I struggled to understand if he was making references to Haskell or another lang I'd been introduced to in the conference's previous days by various presenters.

Some days later I started learning Emacs, Clojure, et al. and I was/am definitely the better for it.
I appreciate the source, but averages don’t really mean much in the real world.

I’ll tell my neighbors they should get an EV even though they can’t charge it at home and have commutes in areas where there aren’t super chargers yet, but on average they should be just fine, and let you know what they say, if you’d like.

So far we’re talking about refueling logistics, but a huge chunk of all the other uses of a vehicle preclude EVs as well.
I’m mean they’re not wrong that more general news topics (especially if touching on politics at all) tends to produce horrible discussions.
Almost. You could start the main loop ([NSApp run]), but the reverse bridge would need to be implemented as the 'run' method blocks so you need event callbacks to be able execute any Lua code within the main loop. And for event callbacks you basically need the ability to create C Blocks (Apple's bespoke C/C++ closure primitive) to forward calls into Lua, and I just haven't done that yet. (It's simple in principle.)

I originally had no inkling that Objective-C was so easy to write bindings for. I was vaguely familiar with its message passing architecture, but didn't appreciate the low-level implications--the potential ABI power (not just API) that came from foregoing static linking. I started my app hoping to not have to write many bindings to macOS interfaces, partly because I wanted to port it to Windows and Linux. I'm using the Yue GUI toolkit, which made it easy to bring up a simple Lua app without having to understand anything about platform GUI frameworks.[1] I wrote a whole slew of Core Foundation (plain C) Lua bindings for little things like property file integration, hoping to avoid dealing with Cocoa APIs. But eventually all the little limitations of Yue (many now resolved) and my need for deeper desktop integration forced my hand.[2]

My Lua bridge is definitely not the first, but most (all?) such projects are dead or dormant. Some might still be usable with some tweaking; I don't think out-of-the-box, though, which IIRC helped push me toward writing my own. My app is currently closed source. I've open source'd parts of it already (e.g. early version of a suite of LPeg parsers for X.509-based formats, posted to the Lua mailing list), but my Lua/Objective-C bridge is spread across several files (e.g. the objc_msgSend thunk permutation and code generator) and not something that can be easily dumped into a standalone form without a little refactoring. If I have the opportunity to do so, I may in the future. I just don't like publicly releasing anything that isn't usable out of the box. But if you contact me by e-mail I'd be happy to share the code: william@25thandClement.com or william@keymux.com.

[1] Yue also has JavaScript bindings, and both sets of bindings rely on a shared C++ framework, so Yue provides equal treatment to C++, JavaScript, and Lua applications.

[2] My app, KeyMux, is for integrating common open source toolchains and work flows with hardware-protected RSA and ECC keys, including the Apple T2 Secure Enclave, for which I had to write static C bindings to Apple's Security framework, the low-level public interfaces to which are straight C interfaces. So in truth I would have had to write Core Foundation bindings one way or another as Security heavily uses CFArray, CFDictionary, CFNumber, and CFString. But those bindings probably would have been much simpler and more basic if I knew I would be able to lean on the Objective-C frameworks (e.g. Foundation, AppKit) for other desktop integration tasks. All of this--the whole world of desktop GUI programming, not just Objective-C--was new territory for me, so at least I picked up a wealth of knowledge on my circuitous journey.

Stolen land is legally recognised as stolen, here in Australia at least, and is still stolen, where it has been stolen, about the globe.

Here, at least, "Western self-flagellating descendants" were hoisted by their own Crown legal system - they began by officially declaring the land Terra Nullus and then had to accept that either their legal framework going back to the Romans was up shit creek, OR, that they had no legal basis for that declaration and were forced to roll it back and admit theft.

I think you miss he point.

The usefulness of a per-user block list is not fighting outright spam. The statistical filters, etc, as applied by the search engine, work best here, as you correctly state.

The point is to remove certain well-known sites with information about well-known topics, which is unhelpful for the particular user, me. That information is technically not spam, but it's on a wrong level, badly presented, etc.

That is, if I search some info about a particular CSS trick, I want MDN be on top, some professional blogs be near top, and w3schools be on the third page. For someone else, priorities may be different, but I know what to expect for the search queries I issue, and I'd be glad if the search engine helped me.

Equally, certain domains are known to be more rich with information I happen to seek, like reddit.com, so I'd like to give them a boost. Some other people may prefer something else, or not give any boost at all.

So, this is personalization, not anti-spam. If Google kept it, it could even bring important insights into what ads I would skip and what would click :)

Maybe 90% of users would ignore this feature. But the 10% of power users maybe disproportionately important: with more disposable income, more clout on social networks, more decision-making power. I suppose that the shutdown of Google Reader, which affected a relatively small number of users, affected all the wrong people, and destroyed so much goodwill that the losses from it are many orders of magnitude larger than whatever savings from not supporting it any more.
The tedious ranting aside, this is way off base—and really about ebooks, not libraries.

Public libraries are not monolithic; they’re operated differently depending on where they are, and all are trying to navigate ebooks—which, by the way, make up only a small fraction of patron demand. Libraries also serve many functions besides lending books.

Public libraries are not being ‘enshittified’. They are more popular than ever (in the US, anyway), and ebooks are just another area where they’re navigating as best they can to offer patrons options.
I thought YC/Hacker News is intended to help people build new and better companies.
