It's a shame "download play" went away with more modern consoles, the DS and the PSP both had a version of it, but the DS one was far more common.

I recently discovered that the switch has a feature to "Match Version with Local Users", if you want to play over p2p wifi, which syncs everybody's game to the latest version that's available in the group. Never used local multiplayer on a switch though, and I imagine it wouldn't play too nicely with pirated games. (though, I'm constantly surprised by what the NX homebrew community creates)
I recently signed up for a business TMobile tablet plan. I had the option to choose taxes/fees as included or extra. The plans are identical. I have no clue why that's even an option, but I'm glad I get to pay a nice round number.
A federated technology co-op that serves local needs, like rideshare or food & drug delivery or point of sale systems. It'd be entirely employee owned and operated, shared between the people making the tech and the local drivers and restaurants and technicians and the such. Needs trickle up, app & hardware dev is done collaboratively and centrally and the output trickles back down to every chapter, profits are split among all employees accordingly to some formula. No outside shareholders.

It might also be possible to organize this as a worker self directed nonprofit, such that you have no profits at all (still pay salaries and benefits, but removing speculatory investments and controlling shares from employee owners).

Similar businesses exist in other fields, but tech is uniquely reusable between chapters once developed.

Gain the efficiencies of scale of a small national command economy, with democratic input from co-owners/co-workers, without the bureaucracy and corruption of the formal government.

It would never be able to directly compete with the VC bubbles of Uber etc., but it would be a more ethical and sustainable operation, and maybe can win some government contracts and protectionism if it has a special nonprofit status...
Whilst I agree with your characterisation as regards usage on HN, I will note that Archive Today actually is a quite useful archival tool, and often works on sites which the Internet Archive behaves poorly on.

I'd run across an instance of this when the Diaspora* pod I was on (the original public node, as it happens) ceased operations. I found myself wanting to archive my own posts, and was caught in something of a dilemma:

- The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has a highly-scriptable method for submitting sites, in the form of a URL (see below). Once you have a list of pages you want to archive, you can chunk through those using your scripting tool of choice (for me, bash, and curl or wget typically). But it doesn't capture the comments on Diaspora* discussions.... E.g., <https://web.archive.org/web/20220111031247/https://joindiasp...>

- Archive.Today does not have a mass-submission tool, and somewhat aggressively imposes CAPTCHAs at times. So the remaining option is manual submissions, though those can be run off a pre-generated list of URLs which somewhat streamlines the process. And it does capture the comments. E.g., <https://archive.is/9t61g>

So, if you are looking to archive material, Archive Today is useful, if somewhat tedious at bulk.

(Which is probably why the Internet Archive is the far more comprehensive Web archive.)
> On the marketplace I call it "paid open source software"

This is still wrong (and likely again fraudulent, but IANAL), since the software is not open source if there are such usage restrictions. Call it, for example, "paid sofware with source available" ("source available" is another common term for software for which one can see the source code, but which is not open source).

I am also a Gen-Xer (born 1972). I am also of course aware that many women in middle class households had no income. I am asking about households in general, especially those below middle class. Obviously, men who were paid well could keep a wife at home. Most men were not paid that well.

Again, if anyone has any data or statistics, I am interested in that, not anecdata from those who were born into the middle or upper middle class.

He seems to have a huge need for people to pay attention to him, and in fact by his recent behaviour one might be forgiven for thinking it’s his top priority. Currently, that attention is generally negative, and not even the ‘good’ type of negative; it’s largely derisory. He would probably prefer to be getting positive attention.

Also, people are just getting _bored_. Before long no-one will bother reporting on his bad or embarrassing behaviour, and then where is he?
My recommendation:

SSPL has no provision even close to the reach of the "anti-competition" clause Hashicorp is using. While SSPL is not considered open source, it isn't that far off from the AGPL. The difference between SSPL and AGPL is that SSPL (1) is in effect regardless of modification of the service and (2) extends copy left virality to all programs which support running the service, including those that interact with the software over a network.

MongoDB, Elastic, etc. cannot stop you from running a competitor based on the terms of their licenses, they just ask that you publish the source code for whatever service you're running in its entirety (I acknowledge there are disagreements about how far "entirety" extends). The clause in Hashicorp's license actually revokes the right to use their software at all if you're a direct competitor.

OK, no one is going to build an open source competitor to Elastic or MongoDB because then you have no moat and your business will probably fail, I get it, but it's still possible to do without repercussion. It's not like the AGPL is that far off in terms of limitation, either, which is why you don't see many copyleft services run by large corporations unless they've been dual-licensed.
Agreed, but the open source community seems like a good place to start for a groundswell.

I don't think you read my comment. This issue is actually highly contentious.

If a remedy consistently has poor results, it's a bad remedy. Simply saying "it works for the ones that are righteous" is absurd. If you break it down that's generally what people are saying, but usually use words like lazy, stupid, crazy, addict, etc.

If most patients can't or won't follow a treatment maybe it doesn't work so well.

> Might want to check into your own beliefs about why the doctors are trying to sap all your bodily fluids.

This is very insulting, and demeaning, not to mention untrue. At no point did I imply doctors are trying to sap me of my "bodily fluids". I've never believed anything close to that. A leach sucks body fluid, so I guess it's a bit like that, but metaphoric.

You seemed to care about your friend. I don't see the point in blatant bigotry towards mental illness.
Ask HN: Need Advice/Help related to my situation
Hello HN,

First and foremost this has been a very valuable forum and I have learned a lot from it. I will be posting from a throwaway account to remain anonymous.

So here's my situation I recently switched my job from a reputable company I didn't really needed to but I decided to jump ship before I ended up being laid off so I tried to keep my self safe but now I am in totally different situation where I joined a new company in Fintech industry for a software developer role.

Sadly the role says its software development on the paper but in reality its a role where you are mostly doing customer support and dealing with support issues working directly with the customers and I am already few months on the job and I haven't really learned much and things are pretty much disorganized.

What should I do in that situation should I start looking else where?

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback

I think left to our own engineers would have resolved to something like this already. The issue as I see it is corporations and business people have taken over the leadership of this trade to rake in money regardless of what it does to the real world.

And why wouldn't they you can create a problem out of thin air, solve the problem poorly selling the solution, and then when your rushed, half assed and bad solution has issues, you can simply sell the fix to that as well.

I doubt we will see much progress in the quality and rigor of software engineering in the near term, it will need to take a shift from making money in the short term at any cost to making a quality product. Instead we see the same thing happening to other industries so I hold little hope in the near term.

That's an interesting way to say that the people who foresaw its imminent failure were correct—but (conveniently) does so in a way that not only downplays[1] the correctness of their prediction, but also maligns them by ever-so-subtly suggesting the reader consider whether blame for the resulting failure shouldn't perhaps be shifted onto those who made the prediction [1 again, unfortunately]...

China Busy Hiding Reports of Flood Damage and Death
"Hundreds of thousands of China's citizens have lost everything and had their lives destroyed. Still, the government is more interested in quelling the protests of victims than providing help. For the leadership this is about saving face. It is also proof that when a government "makes the news," it controls the news. This leaves the question of how bad the flooding has become.

It also highlights the fact that China's system of damns has not tamed its rivers."

"The government has put itself and saving certain cities it values above the lives of the people in other less favored areas.

This includes creating levee breaks and discharging water to flood farmland and lesser cities to defend what the government values. China Insights claims that On August 10, the upper reaches of the Qing River in northern China's Hebei Province had a dam break while flood levels downstream Tianjin were dropping. This has brought about speculation the authorities discharged flood water to Hebei in order to protect Tianjin. These officials led police teams and personally directed them to block the flood water exits to make sure the water stays in the farmland."

It'd be fun to scrape these (with consent) and turn them into non-player characters in a MMO game with rich backstories. Immortality through digital simulations.
Always instructive. It does have some weird implications, though; it ends up making AI sort of like early interstellar travel, in that there is a strong incentive to procrastinate rather than research.
The ecosystem outside of providers is far less important than people like to claim. Open source modules are almost all poorly scoped, often just wrapping a single resource completely unnecessarily - simultaneously over- and under-abstracted. It's also a huge security risk to pull them in.

Joining an existing foundation sounds like the right move to me. Many organizations need this fork to take off very quickly, since they are facing legal uncertainty. Make sure it is clear how to support the project, and those organizations will be happy to do so.

I have no doubt about this, but there's also a whole internet full of others who I want to remain pseudonymous with. I've been using a handful of online identities for over 30 years now, and have never tied them to my real world identity.

The reasons for avoiding that hold more true now than ever before. Having to tie my online identities to my actual identity is unthinkable.

Fraud requires intent to deceive. Your conclusion seems very alarmist and unfair.
None of those things get eliminated by decentralization, they get distributed to whatever the point of control / ownership is.

Mastodon still requires security, compliance and moderation. And those requirements are going to keep getting more challenging by the year. It'll end up being another reason nobody will want to host content in a decentralized manner, the burden will become obnoxious.
Second that. I have an absolutely antique Brother MFC. It prints, scans, photocopies, and it has a $20 generic toner cartridge in it that gives perfectly good print quality. The only downside is having install a 32-bit binary driver to make it work in Linux, with an extra hoop to jump through - scanning won't work until you manually install another missing 32-bit dependency. But once that's done it works. For years. It's enough to make one not hate printing at home.

This discussion never ends. It's so subjective and totally not important at all. Templates shouldn't contain complex logic anyway, only formatting logic with some for loops. You can learn any syntax in 30 minutes if needed. The battle isn't fought on the hills of templating logic. It's sad because there are many interesting differences other than templating logic between frameworks, but they are less superficial so they get little attention.
Based on querying theory alone, there’s no way the nodes (people) in your organization are going to be fully utilized at all times without introducing other issues like making all the work factory like and repetitive and inflexible, or increasing latency (I forget the term, average time from a job entering the system to when it’s done) to ridiculous degrees
> It’s not always clear from the perspective of the API user whether the difference is just the number of arguments or if there are other differences too. Optional arguments communicate that intention more explicitly.

They do, but potentially falsely.

> Looking at, e.g. the Python standard library a large number of functions have arguments that were added after the function was first defined. If Python didn’t have optional/keyword arguments then the number of API calls would be substantially larger.

The inability of Haskell not to have optional arguments isn't too bad, but all in all, I have to concede that you have a fair point. I personally don't miss optional arguments but I can see how they're beneficial (and I would really like named arguments).
