In Britain, it is not long, but slightly shifted, to mean 1815-1914, roughly the Pax Britannica:

In similar fashion, the 20th century is often represented as short, meaning from the Russian Revolution or WWI to the fall of the Soviet Union 1914/18-1989/91:

The older companies like Google and Facebook are going to find themselves suffering from brain drain as they fail to adapt to the changing landscape of work.
I like the take of Nassim Taleb on a tangent idea - restaurants in New York that get awards from other restaurant owners have no better change of surviving than the ones not winning awards from peers or critics. You need an external validation, such as real customers.

Also, people that rate movies online may not be representative of the entire movie-watcher population, so that may be, in some cases, also not a very accurate measurement, unless you yourself are a typical movie rater.

In the gaming world, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare got the most disliked trailer ever on YouTube, and still sold more than 13m copies. Somewhat similarly, logic-devoid, low-quality children movies can get as many dislikes as parents want, children will still watch them.

Ask HN: Derivative product license that forbids use of FOSS version?
My team is using an Apache 2.0-licensed FOSS project in one of our products. We've recently learned that a different division of our very large company has purchased a commercial license for a product which is a derivative of the same underlying Apache 2.0 FOSS project that we're using. We're being told that we must stop using the FOSS project because our company got a discount on said commercial license by agreeing to cease all use of the FOSS version.

Had anyone encountered this before? Is this a common practice? The scenario seems bizarre to me and I'm surprised that it's allowed.
Hi, I work in laser measurement and calibration. There is no secret sauce; you take a physical phenomenon that translates optical power or energy into an electrical signal, measure that signal, then find the sensitivity value of that phenomenon and account for any other effects such as ambient temperature, fill factor, linearity, parasitics etc. and then prove that your calculations are correct by comparing them with NIST/PTB.
If you had foreknowledge that your employees wanted input (via a union) on employment conditions, and then you unilaterally push an arduous employment condition on them, you have violated the spirit of what they are seeking.

No idea about the other downvotes, but mine you got for being a d*ck. Maybe read the HN guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)? They say things like this:

The turkey got to the farm. The Chickens all told him to fear the farmer, that one day the farmer would kill and cook and eat him.

When the farmer came the first time the turkey hid full of fear, but the farmer came and instead of death and fear brought food. The farmer took care of the turkey, feeding him well, making sure he had a warm place to stay. All along the chickens warned the turkey, the farmer was going to come and eat him, but the Turkey thought.

"The Farmer is so nice, he takes care of me so much and loves me, these chickens don't have any idea what they were talking are talking about. They are just foolish scared chickens", the turkey thought.

Then one fateful November day instead of a bag of feed the farmer brought an axe....

Many tech people have seen this happen over and over again, they know that when the VCs come, eventually so will the axe.
It was before. They didn't acknowledge it and put the RTO in effect. (Second-hand account.)
>The problem is not that it was too harmful to the climate to produce these bags. The problem is some percentage of bags become litter and pollute the environment.

1. Is this actually the case, or just post-hoc justification? Remember when during the pandemic, the lockdowns were justified by "just 2 weeks to flatten the curve"?

2. Most of the time I'm given a plastic bag, it's being used to carry something back to my home. Under that scenario, there's basically a 0% chance that it's going to "become litter and pollute the environment". If litter was actually the concern, you'd expect the bans to be targeted at stores where goods being sold don't end up going to homes (fast food resturants and gas stations maybe?), but that's not what we're seeing.
Not in the same way the military has though. Civillians mostly just film lights in the sky that could be anything.
> If you can reason about f and g that doesn’t mean that you can tell anything useful about f o g

What? The ability to reason about f o g (for various definitions of o) is the promise of Haskell and one of its entire ecosystem's foundational principles.

There was a time when I was working on AIX, Solaris and HPUx as well as Linux. In that situation it paid to install gnu tools everywhere (especially bash, make and sed!!) or build versions of them in my home dir so I could have them on any machine.

In THAT situation the constant pain of differences in behaviour was reduced by selecting a common nonstandard tool. It is really the same argument that you're making: that being able to work roughly the same everywhere has great value.
The blandness of the original description is part of what makes the quality of the article suspect. In fact it's the first sign. They later in the paragraph use the word manipulation to make this appear as some conspiracy I should care about, it's not that deep. These are all signals.

I recommend reading the rest of article if the first paragraph isn't enough for you to pick this out as low quality journalism.

To quote ARandomerDude below:
The most shocking part to me is that this is "news." It's like saying "Exclusive: there are fake reviews on Amazon!"
People who think there can/should only be "1 linux desktop", completely misunderstood what linux is all about

It is about the experience you craft for yourself, my desktop is different than yours, it is supposed to be like that, and is the reason why linux scale from microcontrollers, to game consoles, to datacenters

These people are out of touch
And other than VRR (dunno if I have it, I haven't tried) and I guess fractional scaling (but -again- I haven't tried, so dunno if it works) I get all that in xorg.

I'm always cautious about the points made in blogs that have bold titles that don't accurately reflect the content, such as this one. In short, this blog title could be "My criticisms of Wayland."

That being said, I've migrated to Wayland this year because it has become more stable for what I run compared to Xorg, and from following the Wayland and Fedora projects closely, I feel it has recently reached a high level of development, and more importantly, development interest (both of which will likely cause it to supplant Xorg sooner than later). In short, Wayland definitely seems like the Way to go ;-)

I was very fortunate to serve a servant leader at my previous job. It was a great finale to a decade-long streak of very good bosses through my career. I've now settled into a place where my supervisor is unstable, threatening, and scatterbrained. Obviously he has issues, and I hope those get resolved in a constructive way. Learning to survive under this type of leadership is my big challenge.

Honestly, it isn't!

But Haskell technical leadership sometimes is either lacking/inexperienced or goes down the rabbit hole of overusing the compiler to prevent fuckups to the point where you're compiling way too much code and get into a coupling nightmare.

Vulture ran an article on September 2023 that raised criticisms including the fact that since the acquisition by Fandango in 2016, the rules have changed in ways that happen to favor the biggest movies. The article cited publicity company Bunker 15 as an example of how scores can be boosted by recruiting obscure, often self-published reviewers to write positively, or selectively hiding negative reviews, using the example of 2018's Ophelia.

For context the "long nineteenth" is usually defined as 1789 - 1914, what Anglo-Americans might think of as "Victorian" but encompassing a lot more
IMO audience score is more of a proxy for movie quality minus movie expectations. A lot of niche genre films do okay because 1: the only people who watch them are enthusiasts and 2: nobody goes in with high expectations to begin with. If everyone watched them and reviewed them they'd do much worse.

For a mainstream example, take Fast X. It's an objectively stupid movie with a great audience score - because it's exactly what it says on the tin! Nobody is confused about what they're watching. Nobody thinks they're going to get terrific drama or romance or suspense. They're going to get the 9th sequel to a comedy action movie about dudes driving cars.
"just needed" is a simplification. Very few organizations outside the US federal 3-letter agencies have the resources to spend on volatile data recovery in practice. Even the FBI isn't going to bother unless they're confident some extremely valuable evidence is involved.
Same thing here. The worst part is when websites don't actually require an email confirmation to keep using them. In the beginning I've tried to reach out to those companies to close the accounts without accessing them but by now I've started just resetting the password and then deleting them. It's just too difficult to do the right thing.

It is true that I am not clear about
how should I put this idea to practical usage.

And I was also deeply puzzled
when I first read Lafont's paper "Interaction Nets"
(a paper publish at 1990!)

> What unique about this computation model?

Every computations in interaction nets can be easily done in parallel.

Some algorithm that make heavy use of graph
might be easier to express in interaction nets,
the main example is Lamping's paper
called "An algorithm for optimal lambda calculus reduction".

> What unique about this language?

My humble contribution to interaction nets
is to use a stack-based lower layer language to build graph,
maybe this idea can be applied to other places,
and maybe this idea can provide us an opportunity
to make the whole language practical.

> How to be practical and useful?

Currently the language only has a pure core,
just like pure Haskell without any IO,

I planed to implement inet again
in a system programming language
(maybe C, C++, Rust, Zig).

And add built-in functions about IO to it,
we can do this in a way that
will not hurt the purity of the core,
by only extending the lower layer stack-based language.
> Or maybe they aren't designing for usability? Netflix is an awful website for example, it takes so long to find something to watch you might as well just give up and not watch anything.

Yeah I'd argue Netflix absolutely aren't designing for usability. The most usable UI they could offer starts with a big button saying "continue watching the last show you were watching" but that runs the risk of you stopping watching once you're done with that show. They want to push new stuff at you constantly.

> Nothing Microsoft has ever made has been usable

I'd argue Windows Phone 7 was one of the purest examples of usable UI I've ever interacted with. Then it all got destroyed. The sad reality is that good, usable design is never the top priority.

What I’m saying is, with the SBOM you get to see the Lovecraftian horror, and it such a drag and a time sink to properly trace the transitive closure of all your dependencies that soon, you end up thinking of maybe having fewer of them.

Besides, I’m of the opinion that knowing your dependencies is a requirement for all serious software. (Meaning, if you’re not already tracking your dependencies, you are not taking your own software seriously.)
Social Sciences introduced the concept of a multidimensional 'spectrum'. I'm not a fan, and for the reason I more or less already stated: It conflates a multivariate problem with one having a single variable. The initial conditions affect success of any undertaking, and you're starting with your foot in a bucket.

Newton and astrophysicists don't use it that way. They should have found a different word.
Actually, it's not uncommon for a batch of disk from a vendor (the same lot #) to have failures.

And again, a backup is fine for deleted data, or fire/ransomware. But for day to day operations, no one is really willing to wait for you to restore from a local backup, much less an offsite backup.
I daresay the copy looks much more appealing than the original. A tale as old as time.
YMMV but I've had far better experiences on Linux as far back as 10 years ago then I've had on Mac or Windows even today.

Windows, at least, seems to be getting worse by the day, and it was already pretty bad 10 years ago.

Mac at least seems to not be getting worse.

You can't cut of all the CSS; you likely want to honor things like `display: none`, and also colors, and preferably bold, italic, and underline.
But for the qr-code manuals, how often do you refer to them? I see those regularly too, but pretty much never use them.

Similarly for restaurants - in my area, while there temporarily were big a few years ago - I don't really see any place that uses them now. The exception is when I travel to other cities.
> The median tenure in tech is one to two years before moving on to another team or company [1].

Note that individuals who switch jobs often inherently will figure in a higher number of tenures that you’re taking the median of here. This means the majority of software engineers will actually have a longer tenure.
25 cents/hour was indeed shockingly and delightfully cheap. I miss those days.

I suppose it still is, compared to $6/hour.
it is not really a moat if one engineer can leave openai with all the secret sauce in his head and replicate it elsewhere (anthropic?)
It sounds like it’s integrated into Kagi’s main results and you can use the API to reference only the small web results, but I also don’t see a way for a Kagi search user to toggle “small web” results as a lens or whatever. I assume and hope that may be added in the future.

A lot of the people making purchasing decisions to acquire products like Tailscale are in security departments and have a very low opinion of Mullvad (VPN of choice for all kinds of abusive/fraud/hacking traffic).
Yeah that is a good point. Short-term thinking and short tenures are incentivized. The short average tenure in tech is just crazy to me, considering that onboarding takes forever compared to most industries, and how expensive the hiring process itself is. Nonetheless, companies hate giving existing employees raises despite how much it helps retention.
In the world of (cyber)espionage I can't ever tell what's true and what's exaggeration, but I'm under the impression North Korean hackers have been deemed a serious threat for many years now. In other words, this is not news...
Capital has to compound exponentially on aggregate, because if there is no return on capital, there is no reason to make new capital, and production grinds to a halt. So if it has to grow on aggregate, the fact it sometimes go down merely increases concentration of wealth, as it's then at a discount for those who have greater means.

Capital has power over society because society is reliant on material production. Being able to grant someone enough money that they no longer ever need to work (or merely enough for them to have a decent livelihood) is significant power over them and motivates them to do what you want. You can then use this kind of power over the media, politicians, etc..., and you can struggle to have the rules be to your benefit.
This sort of stuff makes me really happy to be a Kagi subscriber. Not only do i get value out of Kagi, but this shows me that the money is being used to develop Kagi in a way i agree with. By comparison, Spotify (just picking one of my subs) feels hostile to me. I pay them, but would cancel in a heart beat if i felt i had options.

I really appreciate Kagi's development matching what i feel like i'm buying. Thanks Kagi Team <3

Probably more than you'd expect. They have two levels of subscriptions [1][2]. XTRA is $19.99 per month and Unlimited is $39.99 so potentially the revenue per hookup could be pretty high, at least as far as per user app revenue goes, assuming a reasonable subscription rate.
