At the end of the day that is why I decided to not be open for my business. Even if you try to be on the good side its hard and you have the eternal source available vs open source debate.

I wish they would develop a license friendly to both businesses that want to ship software that is source available and users of that software. One could strike a balance between full OSS and legitimate needs of the producer to live off their creation.
Thank you. Not really surprising to see a lot of those request. A lot of the audience is coming from Louis at the moment. Seeing his ongoing fight for right to repair, I'd expect there to be a lot of people with older phones with older android versions
Sometimes it's the goal from the start, and sometimes it’s a result of time changing interests and priorities (not everyone wants the same thing 5-10 years later). Many folks also want to maximize the amount of their life spent not working. Some times it’s as simple as wanting to be wealthy (or wealthier).
Google Doesn't yet Find Hidden Gems
Looks like the only meat in the article is this:

> Rather than manually entering the order number into a carrier website or searching your email inbox to find the delivery status of a package, PayPal now automatically gathers shipping details and tracks them through Gmail integration. However, if you don’t have a Gmail account linked to PayPal, you can type in the tracking details.

In other words, PayPal's app reads your Gmail (hopefully permission is required somewhere for this) and parses tracking data there (probably with a bunch of limitations). Doesn't work if you're using @hotmail.com, or any other email provider.

Maybe it's the big industry trend...but I'm both underwhelmed, and wouldn't want to trust PayPal with access to my email.
i've been freelancer and app creator for more than 10 years.
what's great with php(was) that it just worked. The apps just worked in virtual server for 10 years.
Not anymore. with packet system (composer) +php 7.4...8 and need to have js-frontend everything nothing works anymore. Need to use my time instead of new features to fix build and packet manager problems and these are really difficult to explain to customers.

If you're flexible enough to forgo UDP/IP, why not use infiniband instead of ethernet? That gets rid of all the complexity you mentioned but still gives you ordered streams

Interestingly this misses one psy genre of paramount importance - the PsyDub.

Hallucinogen in Dub by Ott, and the Dub Trees project for example to name a few. There is a recent dubstep/psydub crossover which sounds very promising.

Also I would add what is called mental techno in this list, even though it’s more on the acid side of things.
Microsoft Announces a New Azure SQL Database Free Offer in Public Preview
Not entirely sure why a new term and why merge those local 'diffs' to your local 'main' at all?

Open PR A-->main, while it's getting reviewed (or maybe it's in WIP state for some reason), create a branch B off A, and eventually open PR B-->A. Now, you never actually merge B-->A, it's only there so that the PR can be reviewed and diff can be seen. Can be repeated as needed.

In fact, IIRC, in the example above, if you merge PR A, GitHub will switch PR B's target branch to whatever A was merged to (in this case, main).
The fact that there used to be a lot of alternative lower level network layers is incidentally also the best argument for IP: We needed a common shared layer because it was shit trying to gateway between multiple different protocols that user-level software had to know about. And as much as ethernet is dominant now, it's still not the only thing.
When you deal with a*holes don’t be surprised when you’re covered in sh*t.
Not sure about the whole world, but in Germany and the EU, the limit is 50EUR for withdrawing money from DKB.

There are, of course, also disadvantages, like the fact that the new online banking apps are utter shit and offer maybe half of the functionality the old apps offered, but still they sunsetted them.

Advantages are that the have a really good exchange rate when paying with the card in foreign currency. Like really good and they don't charge the 2% tax per transaction that other banks charge.

While understandable from his POV, I'm disappointed to see the guy getting paid for services not rendered, and so reinforcing his tactics.
> "MNAO analyzed some of the code and determined that the code provides functionality same as what is currently in Apple App Store and Google Play App Store"

Surely you cannot copyright "functionality" even in the US, is this not a bogus DMCA? Is there anything that average folk can do against these notices when they're sent to companies like GitHub?
You raise a good point: while ChatGPT might have stylistic limitations that make it less-than-ideal for a "Primer"-type product, LLMs more broadly don't suffer from that stylistic limitation. Whether it's via prompting, fine-tuning, or something else, you can build multiple characters who address some of the original commenter's concerns.
It’s not sudden, it is perhaps only that psy* was not cool in your city for few years and is again. I don’t think interest in trance music ever ceased…

Iain M. Banks. Many of his endings are tragic, or at least bittersweet, and have some sort of a twist in them, so slightly YMMV. But they do always bring closure, and "then almost everyone dies" is an entirely reasonable ending if the characters were on a suicide mission all along.
> We cannot meaningfully explore space while borders exist on Earth.

Watch us do it anyway, while borders do exist. (Realizing how pessimist that sounds)

> We believe that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the most horrifying, shameful thing ever done by humanity, to itself. Importantly, we believe that it will never, ever happen again.

How can you "believe" that? One can certainly hope and strive for it. Believing it sounds like, phew, glad that won't happen ever again! Which is naive to assume and believe, IMHO.

Fine, I might not be so optimistic about some of these points, I get it.
> Israel does its best to avoid civilian casualties

If true, then Israel's "best" is not very good, because Israel has already made far more civilian casualties than Hamas over the past couple of days. And also over the past 2 decades.

No, I don't think Israel is doing its best. At best, they're paying lip service to the idea of avoiding civilian casualties, but it's pretty clear that to many people in Israel, including military and civilian leadership, the lives of Palestinian civilians aren't worth much.

It is true that Hamas tries to kill as many civilians as possible, and in that sense they are undoubtedly the more evil party (but evil does not justify more evil), but the reason Hamas does that, is to provoke exactly this kind of overly brutal retaliation from Israel. Because then more Palestinians will be confronted by their kids and neighbours being massacred by Israel, and they will be radicalised and willing to take up arms to avenge their family. And Israel obliges. In this sense, Israel is helping Hamas, enabling their recruitment, and keeping them alive.

If Israel really wants peace, an end to this violence, and avoiding civilian casualties, then they must be massive idiots, because they are instrumental in keeping the violence going, and Hamas is playing them like a fiddle. Note that the real leadership of Hamas is not in Gaza at all, but in Qatar.
But that's not only online banks; my brick-and-mortar bank did the same thing, froze my account until I provided papers (they already had, just updated). I went to the closest physical branch and they told me 'blah dep flagged this, nothing we can do'.

But seriously I love building things but support is tiring. I don't build a business to sell them, but I sell a business once I am not passionate enough anymore.
Is this missing an /s at the end?

I do believe in the power of technology to make a better world. That's why a venture capitalist using it for profit and then writing a manifesto about how virtuous it is, is the sort of disgusting corruption that makes me skeptic about technology.

But hackernews is the perfect venue to get some minor support from techbros that have grown accustomed to this rat race.
> and that explained why Floyd seemed to believe that Chauvin was going to kill him

This is more simply explained by the fact that Chauvin was in fact killing him.
Unfortunately in some countries it's a choice between the old mafia and the new mafia. You're getting screwed in some way regardless of what you choose.
This is a long settled debate. Open source means using OSI-approved licence.

The definition mentions cost of obtaining the source code for a good reason. A freedom that you are incapable of ever exercising is not actually a freedom.

If I give you the binary for open source software A for gratis or maybe sell it to for X$, you are now entitled to also receive the source code. If that clause would not be there what would stop me from charging you 1 billion $ for obtaining the source code.

The full statement of the definition is: "Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably downloading via the Internet without charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program."

It does not use libre and gratis interchangeably, it is very clear what the cost is referring to.
I have a feeling they just blame those and do low effort bulk screening.
You could have used a SDR for that, which is a fairly interesting piece of kit with - arguably - more wholesome uses than the flipper.
I read nothing about cars, isn't that the same stuff? (As you can see, I'm neither an expert on drug use nor on tuning cars.)

I suppose the system itself is street legal in many countries, even if maybe not the use. But even if you assume track usage...
The problem isn't separate header files, it's textual inclusion. With C++ modules you still have separate module interface units. Separation between interface and implementation is important for enabling circular dependencies (mutual use) between implementations.

It’s widely believed in New York (I’m not knowledgeable enough to know whether it’s true, but it’s at least widely believed) that the police have been on a “soft strike” since 2020 and have been refusing to deal with anything but the most egregious situations, for political reasons.

> Optical to Orion (O2O) is a plan to do a lasercomm demo on one of the future Orion moon missions.

> When the Psyche spacecraft launches and heads to the asteroid belt (was supposed to launch in august) it will do the farthest (by far) lasercomm demo. I work in the group that made the SNSPD ground receiver. As my boss says, with a distance 1000x farther than previous space laser comm demos, closing the link is 1 million times harder...

> Fun fact: when the Phyche comm laser is pointed at earth, the size of the spot will be roughly as large as California. Even with the largest optical telescopes, the loss in this link will be insane. That's why you need single photon detectors.

> As you get to farther and father distances, one thing you can do is shift from on/off keying to large-M Pulse Position Modulation. This way you can save up the power on your satellite to send fewer but higher power laser pulses, each of which carries more bits of data. I believe the DSOC mission will go up to M=256. Meaning each pulse of photons received on earth will carry 8 bits of information based on when it arrives within an alphabet of 256 time bins.

The vast majority of taxes that are filed by US taxpayers are simple.

I assume you meant "tax returns" (instead of taxes). Have you ever paid income tax in another country (other than the US)? Many highly advanced countries do not require a tax return as long you are a regular salaried employee who makes less than X (usually a pretty large number). Even interest paid from a bank account or capital gains from securities trading would be handled automatically. It is crazy how much work you need to do in the US ... even for a "simple" filing.
Out of curiosity, how do you deal with I/O on such systems? ISO C simultaneously requires that blocks of memory roundtrip through binary I/O (so it can’t truncate chars to octets) and that fgetc() and friends return unsigned chars cast to an ints or EOF (so you really want the range of int to include the range of unsigned char, even if you could technically depend on the implementation-defined overflow behaviour). Then again, I guess “you don’t” could be a valid answer on a DSP.
Friendly heads-up: it's considered unwise to use a non-unix compliant shell as your login shell. Rather configure your terminal emulator to use nu as its shell - or go through the effort of invoking it each time if you're not in a GUI.

The problem with that definition is it allows commercial distribution of said software, which futo's license prohibits on purpose since you could bundle the futo software with ads and call it your own software. The futo license prohibits commercial distribution of its software by others
Not sure why you're bringing this up. Are you arguing for attacks on Russian civilians? Please don't.

Building something and maintaining it are two different things which require different skills, different finances and different partners. Innovation requires a curious, scientific mind. Making something profitable requires engineering and an MBA.
They can use whatever licence they want. It's their software. They should only call it open source if they use an OSI-approved licence. Doing otherwise is openwashing and is frowned upon.
It's not clear to me what the benefit of chains is (before anyone says consistency that's definitely not it) to consumers and markets. I guess the idea was supposed to be something like leveraging economies of scale, but most chains are just fronts for broader supply chains with multiple other clients--it's pretty rare that there's a specific like, Applebee's supply chain. But isn't it clear by now that it's all around bad?

Write an exception handler so you handle the errors.

Plenty of go code doesn't handle errors, just pretends to but doesn't do anything meaningful when they happen.
Why are all this techno-optimisitic writings and comments about exploring space...

are we done with earth yet?

Did we solve world hunger, poverty, equality and conservation of our biosphere already?

No, we didn't. Maybe, we should solve such topics first, before we reach for the stars.
Yes, we probably can do both, but all in this manifest seems to aim to only expanse the human space - not making it any better for the actual humans who live in that space (with the exception of improvements which are necessary for going to space).
Scanning my local club pages I can confirm both Amapiano and Afrotech events! I also see something called Gqom.

They are the only unfamiliar things among a sea of the old familiars: house, techno, dnb, garage, electro etc. I see a fair amount of "Dark Wave" which is not electronic and not new but not a common term back when I might have been going to gigs.
It still just works. Every single thing you could do without a package manager in 2009 still works fine without composer in 2023.

All composer adds is the ability to easily use other people's code in your app. And that's not a new thing: people did that in one of two ways pre-2010:

1. They used PEAR/PECL, upon which composer is a massive improvement

2. They copied it from experts exchange, some spammy site like hotscripts.com, or - most often - from the comments section on php.net. The latter was a surprisingly good source but none of this was ever sustainable.
Yes, for the company we have a large brick & mortar international bank (with custom contracts on money transfer fees) and a backup brick & mortar bank where we put our money that is marked for investments. For payments to staff and expenses, we use Wise + Revolut (both) and we all have both cards. This seems to get us the best rates with the least risk. It's a little bit more expensive than just using Revolut or Wise, but having our funds frozen would be lot more expensive.
>> Before training L LEMMA 7B, we contract the RoPE (Su et al., 2022) base period of the Code Llama 7B initialization from θ = 1, 000, 000 to θ = 10, 000. This is so that the long context finetuning procedure described in Peng et al. (2023)and Rozière et al. (2023) can be repeated on the trained LLEMMA 7B (we leave actually doing so to future work).

This does not explain what was the reason for RoPE contraction in the first place. Can anyone elaborate what could be the reason?
This is a cool resource, Ableton being quite respected and all, but I'm interested in making synths with analog electronics if you have any suggestions in that area.

Basic song writing is a good place to start (and should cover the dynamics/loudness of notes and sounds as per the parent post to introduce groove). Then combine with sound engineering.

True, but from my point of view OP won because he was able to see through the aholes true plans causing the ahole to only get the crumbs of a much larger piece of the pie at the end.

To us and others it may seem to be a large sum, but to him it was definitely only a pittance of what he intended to take.
Except we need to use electricity for heating and the availability of solar inversely correlates with demand for heating and wind isn’t really able to make up for it.
Because the effect is seasonal neighboring regions can’t really help each other. So yew either need to build an incredible amount of transport capacity over a really long distance or come up with some kind of storage solution. Doing both on scale is unimaginably expensive.
Yes, nuclear power isn’t able to adjust as quickly as renewables or coal/gas, but if required it can add reduce about 10 percentage points per minute.
This isn’t done because of the economics. Fixed costs are much higher.
I bought a siphon to make whipped cream (and other recipes) a couple of weeks ago. Fresh cream from it tastes a lot better than from the store bought canisters. Not sure what the reason is, but I'm guessing the store bought canisters contain additional chemicals to extend the shelf life.

At .50 EUR per N2O load (plus the siphon) it is somewhat of a luxury of course. But if you're into cooking, I think it's a reasonable investment. I'm looking forward to trying a Hollandaise recipe next. It's much easier to make in a siphon than using the traditional technique over a water bath.

There's this kind of crab bucket mentality where in the West we feel like we need to be ahead of China no matter what. That's not going to last if all we have is trade secrets keeping us in the lead.

I've never read any essay written by Paul Graham which had a point I hadn't read before somewhere or else or otherwise encountered a thought of his which was was actually original or new.
