For me, the “https” in the Netscape URL is sort of an anachronism. I mean, yes, technically it was available in Netscape in 1999, but very few sites used it (even among e-commerce sites).

Gitea Ltd's stance seems to be that it does "custom development" support contracts.[0] It may be a matter of perspective whether you consider this "open-core" or "contract work."

See also their clarifications on Gitea the company[1]:

> Gitea Ltd. will be open to building special versions for special clients and will contribute any features back to the main repository when possible

This was in a followup to the original announcement.[2]

Forgejo (i.e. Codeberg, a FOSS non-profit) maintains that the project should be led by the community, not a company[3]:

> Sadly, Gitea Ltd broke that trust by a lack of transparency: its existence was kept a secret during months.

Another interesting twist of this happened to me. Someone created two eBay accounts. One in my name, one as a seller. They used my card to pay the seller with my forged eBay account.

Then they found the tracking number of a package sent to my city around the same time.

Ultimately the charge back failed when I reported fraud. They had a tracking number and invoice in my name, which my bank and eBay said had to be me. When I asked eBay to refund, they said the opposite as what they said to my bank. They said only the creator of the account could refund, not the person named on the account, so I could only refund if I found the fraudster and got their consent.
Great news for climate change.
I believe that doing nothing, on purpose, especially for prolonged time (months, years), especially in solitude, is often _the_ most productive, highest leverage activity of all that an individual can be doing. The reason is that our subconscious is way more powerful than our conscious. The logical reasoning engine in our brain is really quite basic. Think a silly 8-bit console emulator running on an an actual modern piece of hardware (subconscious brain). And so relying on subconscious is somewhat like using hardware acceleration. The brain often knows better, but you cannot quite articulate what it is that needs to be done or why. And if you keep ignoring that signal, keep silencing it, keep forcing "doing the right thing" over what it's trying to tell you - that's a recipe for failure. You better listen. How? By doing nothing to the point of getting bored and looking how to "kill time". That's when your subconscious is finally heard. It keeps gently nudging you in the right direction without revealing the grander plan. Perhaps it doesn't have a plan; or perhaps it does but you're better off not knowing it. I also believe that procrastination is an acute case of the same. Your subconscious is screaming - hey human, this activity, this project, this job doesn't quite make sense. Again, you better listen. Otherwise you'll perhaps get more stuff done - but the wrong kind of stuff. Personally I'm looking back at my own timeline, and the gaps between jobs when I was up to nothing whatsoever as some of the most productive periods of my life. Not in a "I did X" way - more like, "I became more of what I want to be faster than at any other time".
I am not sure I agree. What is allowed by the typing rules should always be clear. What may not always be clear is whether you statically get an error during compilation or only a run-time error. But considering that we now randomly get silent miscompilation which may or may not cause a run-time problem, if you cast a void* to the wrong type, I think this is a clear improvement.

That's a facile answer. You're extremely well educated on this matter and know full well the downsides of "unpaying".

You're right. As much as I'd like to give a well-thought-out argument to the horribleness of this kind of thinking, I think my time will be more useful for people doing other more productive things than convincing bigots of the meaning of caring for others.

Which centrally planned economy can/could afford to operate a constellation for phones?

The initial Iridium constellation is estimated at around $5 Billion in 1998 money (~$9 Billion today), and it nearly killed the company in the process. That was just initial constellation expenses - monthly subscriptions are still cost prohibitive for majority of the population/general use, and ongoing maintenance is very expensive.

The point is - it's not only cheaper to do land-based communications, but it's more reliable.

There doesn't seem to be any reality where a centrally planned economy would take this sort of project on just for funsies...
As someone with ADHD, that's a lot to ask. However, in my opinion what we really need is a common standard for banks to handle recurring payments for subscriptions. Asking me to review every single thing on every account is a ton to ask, but it would be a lot more manageable if recurring stuff had its own section and that I could cancel stuff from my bank app directly.

Sure there are a lot of complexities, but it's not that horrendous as someone who literally worked on recurring payments for a bank. You just simplify things by making it a pull system. A recurring payment is just authorization from the bank to withdraw up to X dollars every Y days/months/year (you want a design like this to avoid dealing with holidays and weekends on the bank side which vary for every country).
>This line of reasoning reminds me of the petulant discussion revolving around overdraft fees... as-if it's difficult to spend 3 seconds tapping a button in your banking app.

Not sure which discussions you call "petulant" but banks high-to-low ordering payments is predatory against people who lack liquidity. (Simple example: if you have $500 in your account, and the following transactions happen in sequence in a day: a +$200 deposit and a -$600 rent deduction, some banks will specifically override chronological order and process -$600 first so that you get an overdraft charge, despite having positive balance all the way when processing chronologically.) This is might not be a common problem for a lot of users of this website (though see a sibling comment re: ADHD), but the problem is real, not "petulance". https://www.nber.org/digest/202103/bank-ordering-debit-charg...

Of course this only happens to you and me, whereas banks can and do use daylight overdraft and can easily go billions in overdraft: https://www.federalreserve.gov/paymentsystems/psr_dlod.htm (There is a 50 basis points charge for uncollateralized overdrafts (and none for collaterized) but that is less meaningful in relative terms than $30 charge for people in above scenarios.)

This is true for some definition of a silo, but to me the term inherently implies difficulty in interfacing. If you can easily pull information out or push it in, it's not a silo in the sense people complain about.

So to me this not so much a correction of the definition, but a technical resolution. There are several problems, though. The owner of the silo may benefit from it. This is called "lock in". If the company has any say, the silo owner should be properly incentivized to ensure "good citizenship".

World peak oil production was expected to happen in the late 1980's, but what happened then was new subterranean imaging techniques to find oil, horizontal drilling to get at tricky oil, and new electrolytes (zeolytes) to refine crude, basically doubled the amount of petroleum we could possibly produce, and increasing the amount of crude we could get to if we wanted.

That said, even with process efficiency improvements like electrolytic cracking, the number of useful Calories we extract per Calorie of input has declined over time. More and more of the fossil fuels we produce are going into producing the next unit of fuel, which is a little harder to retrieve than the ones from last month.

The analogy to the ISS would be a science base Mars. That does not get you interplanetary trade, or asteroid mining.

Tourism is at least conceivable, but the number of people who could plausibly afford a ticket is tiny; and the journey time would be hard to justify. The market for low earth tourism is already tiny; and exists only because everything needed was already built to support the science mission.

For asteroid mining; just go to asteroids. It seems bonkers to set up your base at the bottom of a gravity well for no particular reason.

For trade; there is nothing of particular value on Mars. If you are already there, then on site production makes sense. Otherwise, skip the trip and gravity well and find an asteroid to mine.

> Humans exist in physical space and it is necessary for our mental health to see other people in person.

It does not follow that the deep social interaction that is beneficial to mental health has to happen at work.

One can WFH and see people outside of work. Some people enjoy deep social ties with coworkers, others prefer keeping work at a distance from their personal life.

> People naturally talk to each other in physical spaces.

That is incorrect. Some people do, some others don't.

Reminds me of a book I read more than a decade ago. The Culture Code. By Clotaire Rapaille. He argued that 'the French Code for cheese is ALIVE. The American Code for cheese, on the other hand, is DEAD.'

I don’t have the book handy, but here is a quote from the web:

> I started working with a French company in America, and they were trying to sell French cheese to the Americans. And they didn't understand, because in France the cheese is alive, which means that you can buy it young, mature or old, and that's why you have to read the age of the cheese when you go to buy the cheese. So you smell, you touch, you poke. If you need cheese for today, you want to buy a mature cheese. If you want cheese for next week, you buy a young cheese. And when you buy young cheese for next week, you go home, [but] you never put the cheese in the refrigerator, because you don't put your cat in the refrigerator. It's the same; it's alive. We are very afraid of getting sick with cheese.
This with dignity?

As a JS dev, the situation annoys me too, but I'll say at least it's a lot better than it used to be. We've gone from "manually clobbering together 30 different libraries to make an app" to "choosing one of 3-5 major frameworks".

Yes, those frameworks themselves still have hundreds of sub-dependencies, but usually they're managed by the upstream framework maintainers and upgraded at once. Like you upgrade your Next/Remix/Vite version and then rest of it should take care of itself, with (usually) the framework vendor providing detailed changelogs and code migration tools if necessary. It's not a perfect system but it's a heck of a lot easier than it used to be.

And once you build for production, those hundreds of libs just get tree-shaken and bundled into a few much smaller minified and compressed JS files, and often rehydrated only after the important HTML loads. Done right, it can be better UX than the old SPA days -- at a cost of increased slightly increased mental complexity for developers, but not much more than having to work full-stack in different languages.

The ecosystem is very slowly maturing. IMHO we're probably post-peak now. The last 5-7 years had a huge explosion of JS frameworks because, well, that's the language of the web, and we saw a ton of startup activity. But now that the industry is moving towards AI instead, the web is no longer cool, and probably we'll see a lot less competition/innovation and more consolidation/stagnation. I doubt many of these frameworks will survive long term. My personal guess (only) is that we'll probably only be left with Next and Vite(*) after a few years, with the others fading into history the way Ember, Backbone, Angular, etc. did.

> At what point would any of these become deprecated?

Probably 2-4 years, if history is any indication. They just get less popular and less maintained over time, but there'll always be a long tail of older unmaintained projects running on life support with vulnerable versions, etc. But most projects will move on. In my career as a web dev, I've never seen production frontend code last more than a couple years without drastic changes anyway, so I doubt it really matters. Good excuse for the next generation to rewrite everything from scratch for the nth time, lol. Management's visions and priorities rarely last that long to begin with, so it all just kinda works out... shrug.

I wouldn't build a time capsule in JS, but for websites that by their nature are ephemeral... sure, why not?

--------

* Vite is just a simple frontend processor and bundler: https://vitejs.dev/guide/features.html

It includes things like TypeScript, JSX, hot module replacement... etc., that used to be a bunch of separate libs. It's heavier than vanilla JS, but much lighter than Next.js. Great for simple SPAs, but if you need more batteries included, Next can get you (much) further before you start having to add in more third-party packages again.

Think of these like a Venn diagram. Vite is a small circle that has a lot of overlap with Next's much bigger circle.

Im going to ignore your unnecessary snark and engage with your points.

1) I think your answer for 1 seems most supported and I dont disagree.

2) If incumbents have sufficiently high margins, eventually there will be enough incentive to overcome startup costs, and compete against collusion.

3) I agree that reg capture and economies of scale favor large incumbents.

4) I think this is the interesting part. are you agreeing that consumer prices are lowest under a monopoly with high margins, but not high enough to enable competition from firms at lower scale ( setting aside issues regulatory capture)? Do you think this is the scenario we are living in? I'm pretty skeptical myself, because in my experience, many industries also have inverse efficiencies of scale that kick in. This means small firms can compete on the margin, and are often bought out by larger but less efficient firms.

I don't think that perfect no-profit competition is realistic model for the world because markets arent static and competition doesn't adjust instantly. That said, you seem to think that perfect competition has little innovation. Are you implying that monopolized markets have more innovation?

Apple also documents the Virtualization framework fairly well at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization, with links to various code samples.

For example, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/run...:

“This sample configures a virtual machine for a Linux-based operating system. You run the sample from the command line, and you specify the locations of the Linux kernel to run and initial RAM disk to load as command-line parameters. The sample configures the boot loader that the virtual machine requires to run the guest operating system, and it configures a console device to handle standard input and output. It then starts the virtual machine and exits when the Linux kernel shuts down.”
> What's wrong with people putting on their adulting pants and actually being responsible? Why outsource personal responsibility to a third party? That seems, absurd.

This is a poor perspective to have, and the purpose of government is to protect its citizens from predatory behavior. You're entitled to the opinion, but I vote for people who protect citizens, because that is where the greatest value is in aggregate improvement (vs "personal responsibility"). Existing is different levels of difficulty for everyone, and personal responsibility projection is of little value. But it is great if you're crushing it taking care of yourself.

It is more than that. We also invent new technologies. Searching for resources, refining them, do the same stuff more cost-effectively, extraction from different kinds of compositions and ores with processing methodologies, recycling, changing other elements of a system to require different amounts or mixtures in a final product are all different ways to "increase yield." On the scale of decades, collectively, this is very responsive to demand and why arguments about "only so much of resource X exists" are usually highly misleading.
