There are few thought experiments which would force you to a 'better' behaviour.

You don't know for example, if death is real or not (deah not real -> afterlife) which could bring up a few scenarios like you currently are supervised if you are 'good' enough.

Or the old idea of hell vs sky.

The best bet for you is always to be 'good' weird thing is people don't get it. The same issue with people getting asked if we should increase taxes for the rich people and they say no because they think they are affected by this.

Or a sentence someone once said: Don't teach kids playing footbal to win, teach them to play so that others want to play with them.
We can't design tools which are incompetent-manager-proof. There are companies with incompetent management having no clue about software development, but business selection should eventually sort them out.

Well, I'm already annoyed that Spotify thinks that because I listened to music that was used in a game once, I must love game soundtracks in general.

I'm pretty sure they'd annoy even more people if they thought, "Oh so you liked Wagner, you must love Zelda".

Day after day, the paid(online) ads is becoming traditional and all the startup owners or new entrepreneurs are diverting themselves into guerilla techniques. Buying Tiktok comments, ProductHunt reviews and more. Rather than spending the money on the algorithmic advertisement, they are trying to build a base where they can create a "base" for their possible customers. I really liked the article, and I think this is showing a couple of crucial signs about the topic I mentioned.
Hah, this site was in the filter list for my firewall.

My mind blowing moment was playing Catan in VR with complete strangers. I wrote about it here: https://p1x3l.com/story/239/social-virtual-reality-and-the-o...

I wrote something sort of adjacent to what you're talking about. It wasn't about applications persay but instead it was a guide / decision tree that took everything I learnt on how to make choices on what datastructure or algorithmic approaches applied to different problems (from doing the Blind 75 problem set).

It's not authoritative as I am not an expert yet but might still be of interest: https://sebinsua.com/algorithmic-bathwater#what-kind-of-prob...

> My guess is that Valve is starting to see a lot of Linux users with steam accounts that don't own a Steam Deck.

You don't have to guess, just look at the steam hardware survey - https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey?platform=linux - 44.18% of Linux is SteamOS Holo (a.k.a. Steam Deck), while overall Linux is 1.82%.

Since historically Linux usage hovered around 1%, I'm guessing that the Steam Deck by itself didn't drive any additional users to Desktop Linux (or at least not in huge amounts), though the 1% by itself is probably driven by Valve's efforts to improve Linux support.
I haven’t heard the word gal used in person in a long time. “Guy” I hear frequently.

“Gal” seems derisive. I would assume someone was being berated or otherwise dismissed if being called “gal”. As in, “oh I suppose there are women here that I will address differently”, hence “gal”.
"Some people are right but if you tilt your head and squint you can almost understand the argument from the others"

Are you advocating that employees have the obligation to break the law to protect a business that might be doing illegal things? Are you an employee or an employer?
The use of "pirate" for copyright infringement goes back to at least the 19th century and was originally used of books. By the time taping off radio started, the term was already well entrenched.
> I don't see how it's a valuable work finding out what your org actually needed if the cost compared to a proper programmer [team] is 3x - 10x more.

They seem to be talking about building real production systems using no-code.

Building a prototype using no-code can be faster (at least in some cases) than coding them. Esp. if you consider the cross-org coordination needed to get an allocation for dev team.
I hope you get better. You made the world a better place.
Sentiment about communism changes a lot. We, as western Europeans, haven't been brainwashed with decades of anti-communist propaganda, at least not to the level reached in the US, neither we lived under a communist regime, so we didn't develop extreme views until recent years.
A couple decades ago one could find here a good number of right militants among immigrants from the former communist countries. As much as I'm left leaning and heavily hostile to any form of right wing ideology, I honestly can't blame who suffered for example the Ceausescu dictatorship for leaning the other way; it's pretty normal to me.
Nowadays however the right wing nationalist ideology is developing support also among citizens of countries who never saw communism in all their existence, but that is the result of a subtle propaganda which I would date back in the early to mid 90s.
I don't know. It was a genuine question.

My hunch; no way Apple and Amazon will not watermark. But that is just based on behavioral inference, not on knowledge or data.
Cool. You do that, good luck for selling support for your open source TikTok video effects app.

The gist is, for different situations different business models can work. If the one you propose works for your software, good for you.

The problem starts when you demand that other business models should not exist, so yours can work.
This seems like a very techy product; would the audience be there? It's a question as I don't know, but if I see my own usage as a techy, it's not; I don't know anyone who even likes/uses these platform in my cto/decision making circles. But I would really like to know as if there is significant conversion opportunity there (and not just tossing away money) for a very tech product (with code examples on the homepage like this one) then it would be interesting.
Off topic but I love the Posthog brand, marketing and tone of voice. A real exemplar of how to market a developer tool.

Comparing a middle class existence in a western country to average Africans is nonsense. What should I do with that information? Sell all my assets and move to Africa to try and live like a king? What's the point of this comparison? I live in a western country, my friends, family and responsibilities are here. That's what we have to navigate.

I'm not saying trying to be rich is bad. I want to be rich. But for most people, if you gave them enough money to never have to work again, but they would be permanently middle class, they would take it. I am very jealous of people that can do that. But eventually jealousy turns to suspicion. These people have enough money for their families and many generations after them to be better than middle class comfortable and they are doing shady things to acquire more wealth?

Isn't chemo tolerated differently in different patients? It's still anecdotes, but I've heard many stories of people, some usually very dynamic, being strongly weakened by it. To the point some even decide it's not worth it and stop the treatment altogether. I personally know someone currently under chemo too.

Anyway, it's good you tolerate it well and I wish you a good recovery!

I've had a decent experience building a webapp that can be used on the browser, and with some light packaging on the desktop and on mobile without being a full on electron app (webview instead).

At the moment it's a different tech stack for packaging mobile vs desktop app, but I'm waiting for Tauri to implement support for mobile to migrate everything to Tauri (I'm using a go webview library for desktop and capacitor for mobile).

Note: I know devs are usually allergic to multiple techs far various targets, but it was pretty much a one-off time cost, 99% of the dev time is spent working on the webapp itself.
How can this be viewed as a provocation, unless your views align with the regimes who people like Che faught against?

Regardless of your views on 'communism' (and I say that as someone who will quickly detest any of those governments at that time in history), they faught against overtly fascist regimes that trampled on all personal freedoms and routinely rounded up dissidents to be summarily executed. RMS 'not endorsing' fighting for personal freedom is an endorsement of the status quo of that era, where governments like Pinochets would literally kidnap dissidents, sedate them, throw them into the cargo holds of 747s and dump them out over the ocean from tens of thousands of feet in the air.
Why does neither Microsoft nor Google nor Apple take the lead and offer free LLM answers like Google offers free search results?

Is that because there are simply not enough GPUs out there to do this at scale?

If so, it will become really interesting once that constraint goes away. There might be a shift in the search space like there was a shift from analog to digital photography.
> I'm curious how a 16 year old had access to a chainsaw.

Presumably a parent had a chainsaw, kept it in the garage, and the teen had access to the garage.

And 16 isn't that young - you can leave school at age 16 and start working full time.
Huh? The article explicitly states certain problems from which further inferences can be made. Some excerpts below;

There is a concern that Hindu and Indian employees will now be looked at with suspicion because employers simply won’t want to deal with frivolous lawsuits.

From the get-go, CoHNA made it clear that they abhor caste discrimination. Dalits and “lower” caste members of CoHNA were vocal that this law would institutionalize the very thing Equality Labs claimed to be fighting.

CoHNA made the strong case that although the language of the ordinance identifies caste among many religions and ethnicities, Hindus are most closely associated with caste. It very clearly paints a target on the backs of Hindu Americans and Indians and creates a presumption of guilt. There are no clear ways to identify caste or implement anti-caste discrimination laws in America.

Sara Nelson voted “No”. She asked whether the Seattle City Council had any data to support Equality Labs and Sawant’s claims of “widespread and systemic” caste discrimination. She also made the point that without ways to identify caste, there would be no way to implement it properly.

How exactly do you determine who is an “upper” caste and who is a “lower caste”? And if you can’t determine what caste someone belongs to, how do you litigate that case?

Even if you could identify someone’s caste, what would the city do if someone from a “lower caste” attempted to sue someone from another “lower caste”?

If someone chooses not to identify with a caste and someone accuses them of caste discrimination, will the city of Seattle force a caste upon them?

Thankfully, we can reference a rigorous study from the Carnegie Endowment which largely disagrees with Equality Labs’ findings.

Instead, they found that there is very little caste identification among Indian Americans, especially in those born in America and that there is even less discrimination actually experienced. It is very far from widespread and systemic.

This study acknowledges Equality Labs and criticizes the findings and methodology, most notably that Equality Labs simply removed responses where people did not identify with a caste at all.

Without guidelines on how it will be implemented, it has the opportunity for great misuse. Hindu children will now be looked at with suspicion in college admissions if they choose not to identify as caste because Equality Labs says that this is a mark of privilege and indicates “higher caste” or “oppressor caste”. Hindu and Indian employees will now be looked at with suspicion because employers simply won’t want to deal with frivolous lawsuits,

And finally, it paints the entire Hindu religion in the way Equality Labs would like – as irredeemable and worthy of dismantling as Soundararajan has stated in multiple interviews and tweets.
With the basic HN website you can't really do that. Someone might have written a frontend that does it for you. I prefer to just filter with my eyes.

Well Linux is usable as a desktop operating system. For IoT there are multiple open source project, Home Assistant, ESP Home, just to name a few.

The real problem are mobile operating system. Android phones are nowadays even more and more locked down, and using ROMs without Google Services is nearly impossible.
Linux is now more popular than OSX according to those statistics. That's a decent milestone, and it's only going to grow as enshittification forces further downgrades in user experience, freedom and privacy in commercial OSes.

Classic Seinfeld
The Communist Party had 2-digits percentage of votes in France until the 90s. We had coalition governments with communist (and green) ministers last time in 2002 I think? And one of the main newspapers, when people still read them, was l'Humanité, clearly further left than the mainstream left (parti socialiste, then).

Hate of communism was just never as rabid 'round here. In 1993 we had one of the mainstream pop songwriters write a love song to it (Rouge) and it had the Red Army Choir singing there and sold a million discs on this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouge_(Fredericks_Goldman_Jo....

We still have 'revolutionary' communist (troskists, and other variations) like Lutte Ouvrière, la Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire at each presidential election, gathering between 3 and 6% of votes...

Europe is diverse...

Can confirm this. When scrolling down to about half-way through the article it jumps back up. It appears to happen when the blog list on the left is loaded (which takes like 5 seconds to load).

I can see why the dev didn't notice this when debugging locally, as there it probably loads the left menu without delay.
We do a little bit of this with depot.dev and it doesn’t have meaningful conversion.

But, I do think it helps awareness as we do get some folks that tell us I saw you on this repo or that.

We also do it to support projects we think are neat/useful to others even if we don’t use it.
Proper RDP also does it, and does proper DirectX rendering, provides almost a local like development experience.

Most consultants in regulated industries live in RDP sessions, instead of getting a customer provided laptop.
That doesn’t matter at all. If they want to forensically I mage that machine, locking your sessions won’t do shit.

I'm Hungarian BTW. And you seem to misunderstand me. I'm not saying that teens yearn for Kádár or much less Rákosi. I'm saying that the Che t shirt and the rest of the "Western teen rebel starter pack" are parts of a cool identity, it's not associated in their minds with historical Hungarian communism that actually happened.

It is a continuation of a historic West-imitation that's as old as taking on Roman Catholicism or adopting the Renaissance in Matthias Corvinus' court.

Hungarians in the 80s didn't long for some different philosophical organization of society. They wanted the cool Western things, good home appliances, higher salaries, vacations abroad, jeans, shoes, porn magazines, Western pop rock punk music, Coca Cola, McDonald's etc.

So shortly after the change of system in 1989 edgier kids also started to adopt the teen rebel fashion including Che. Just like there were a few goths and emo kids in every class later on. And today it's kpop and whatever is trending on tiktok.

Western Kids larp communism so eastern kids larp the larp. Its not unlike importing Buddhism and mindfulness from California. People adopt it because it is cool in the West and adopt the western interpretation of it.

Imagine if a hip Indian tech worker in Bangalore adopts Californian Buddhism. It would not be because of the local history of Buddhism, but the coolness factor put on it by Silicon Valley. It's like when pizza was backimported to all of Italy, after it got popular in America, even though it was a much more local thing in a small part of Italy before.
