There are, but they were working mostly for internal market. Their brand recognition is not good with the western audience. But now with the electric cars - it is a brand new thing, so the chinese brands can try to push in the western markets.
Oh, I absolutely don't judge you for those. Frankly part of the reason I went for a pure Ruby version instead of xlib was that the Xlib bindings for Ruby are also in an awful state, and someone else had done enough of the job on the pure Ruby bindings that it felt like it was doable incrementally as I needed various calls and not much worse than wrapping Xlib or xcb.

I like that there are no other dependencies, but I'd have sacrificed that if it was sufficiently much easier than the route I ended up taking (e.g. my terminal did start out linking to Xlib and using a tiny C extension; it's since been ripped out in favour of the pure Ruby bindings, since why not now that it's available, but it was a perfectly ok solution to start with).

Not to defend Boeing since the circumstances of the MCAS controversy didn’t involve honest well-intentioned design mistakes, but I would argue that reliability is a bathtub curve so a new plane model having more issues is expected.
The recipe for Coca-Cola is publicly available and is not legally protected or exclusive in any way. Many people make extremely similar cola beverages. Their business value is in brand and marketing, not any exclusive method of producing the product.

You have inadvertently chosen a perfect example of why free software is better than proprietary software.
Has it ever worked, i.e. Is there any company which could pay market rate salary without any extra funding or being subsidized by other parts of company? Docker, terraform, elasticsearch, many DBs etc tried it but it never generated good revenue to pay developers outside of VC funding. See their revenue after they begin removing free stuff[1].

Even supabase is an awesome product but they needed $116M of external funding[2] to support their development which looks like unsustainable model for open source.

There are, mostly within China. But obviously the strategy has been to leapfrog the competition and to go all in on battery tech and EVs rather than trying to play catch-up on soon-to-be obsolete tech.
Indeed, and this also explains the popularity of Dacia.

I would go a step further and say that I don't even want some safety features if the cost/benefit ratio is not unequivocally positive. The safety push in the car industry is great for incumbent manufacturers but bad for consumers on a budget. I fully realize we still lose too many people in car accidents, but I'd rather use public transport or bikes for 90% of my travels and own a slightly unsafer but very cheap car that I use sporadically. (This is in a region that is very bike-friendly with superb public transport).

I'm interested in this too. While I note the (slightly chaotic) plethora of NIPs[0], and many of them look blockchainy, NIP-01 looks ultra pragmatic, simple, and flexible for a bunch of possibilities, and is the only one that is required[1] to be implemented.

I tried debugging my .net project in VS Codium and can't because the debugger will only run in Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. That was enough to make me second guess putting my eggs in that basket.
More or less the rules that everyone should follow, everywhere. I only somewhat disagree on two points:

(1) Store everything in a cloud, not on the laptop? You've got to work on the stuff, so it needs to be on the laptop. You should have automatic synchronization, and the user shouldn't really have to worry about it.

(2) You shouldn't use a commercial cloud. Hosting your private cloud is incredibly easy (OwnCloud & Co), and whoever is responsible for your IT should ensure that backups happen. Cloud providers don't really provide backups. When iCloud loses your files, good luck with that. Someone accidentally deleted a file some unknown number of weeks ago? If you have your own backup system, finding it is easy. Relying on Google or Dropbox? Maybe you'll find it in the version history (if you have versioning turned on), and maybe not...
Hm yeah I wondered if it might be something like that. I would say that adding an additional field might be the worst option, as then the info could get out of sync somehow. I'd just pick whichever and if it's the combined one have some code to explode it into bits, or keep what you have and have some code to combine it, and maybe print the combined one out in a log line.
To me AGPL is still very open, but it sure limits stuff. Gotta be even more careful with it in an enterprise setting than GPL. Can deploy it internally, but must be internally and it’s a constant risk.

I haven’t found a reason to deploy one yet. One use case I have seen is to have some sort of commercial/AGPL double distribution, perhaps with the AGPL release lagging behind.
A desktop app in Windows only requires an executable. Rust and Zig compile to executables.

Lately I have made efforts to divorce a variety of games for Windows from Steam DRM. I am hosting these games on a Linux file server for ease of access anywhere in the house. I am also using WinLaunch as a front end to map to the game executables so that in one click I can be running a large Windows game from any of my Windows computers.
Absolutely agree and I do with my own code, but I need to eat and haven't managed to do that from open source. So yeah, that's why we pledge to open in a set time or set revenue stream, but I am not rich enough to just work for nothing in the meanwhile. That doesn't mean that I don't open most things I do in private.

Edit: forgot 'don't'
That's an American company. I think the GP meant the Chinese knock-off manfacturer. And yeah, the reason nobody did was probably because it was impossible.
I mean, that's kinda the whole point? The precise details of the optic path don't really matter, bigger pixels will always be easier to resolve.

One might reasonably expect error correction to help with the decode of blurry inputs, but that wasn't really the case in my experiments.
Exactly. RE prices are sticky on the downside.

Some of it is logical (selling a leverage asset at a loss when you can just live in it / if you sell you give up your below-market-rate mortgage) and some of it is emotional (people like to win).

So as mortgage rates approach 4-5% range (not that far off, we've already dropped from 7.8% to 6.6% in 2 months), homes will start moving again. People need to upgrade/downgrade/move/etc, and the marginal cost will start to compress and make it worthwhile again.

As an example - I have a typical 2018-2020 ZIRP bottom barrel interest rates.. So while the apartment upstairs from me which is on sale for 25% more than my apartment purchase price, it would have actually cost me 75% more in monthly payments at peak interest rates. At current interest rates it is 58% higher payments, and at 4.5% it would be about 31% higher payments (pretty close to proportional to price).

So I think somewhere in the 4-5% range things get pretty normal pretty quick.
That might be something for a rainy day. If I recall correctly, Fort has probably been my "worst" (i.e., the most useless) language learning experience thus far.
I recommend seeing the play if you have the chance. It's a great experience, with a lot of relevance to the current day.

> API keys were invented as a tracking device

And that's exactly how they're used as well. They need a method to track the usage of these services because there is often a cost involved with providing them. You also need a way to block or rate limit usage that is not IP bound.

As an example, when Yr[0] opened up their APIs for free world-wide weather forecast it quickly spiralled out of control. I don't recall the specifics of it, but in short a major phone manufacturer started using their APIs on their phones and it took down the service because of the increased load. They could have solved it by just adding more hardware, things like this is highly cacheable, but when you're dealing with tax payers money you generally don't want to subsidise for-profit companies. So you implement a token and tell them to implement their own caching layer on top of it, and everyone is happy.

I don't see how you'd solve something like that with anything other than a token. The methods you've mentioned in other posts simply don't work when a couple of hundred million phones ping your API every time they unlock their phone and it refreshes the weather widget. It also create no incentive for the developers to do things right, like not checking for updates every time the user does something, even though the initial request also came with a TTL and cache-control header that clearly states when this would be updated again.

It’s not worthless, but I try to avoid supporting proprietary software companies.

Being selfish isn’t a good look, especially when starting out as free software (Docker Desktop, I’m looking at you).

I even strongly dislike actual free software releases with companies that have proprietary stuff alongside (so-called open core). It means that the people doing it don’t give a shit about software freedoms, otherwise they’d never consider releasing nonfree software. Mattermost is in this category (and further demonstrates their disdain for software freedoms by shipping nonconsensual spyware in their foss stuff and closing PRs that remove it).

It’s really shady to position yourself as an open source company and then release any proprietary software.

I didn't. I was saying I was trying to remember the story.
Who on your early-stage team will be running ops and security on your self hosted cloud?
Open sourcing your company doesn't make sense, in my view, unless you're targeting developers or you're building a product that no one would realistically self host anyway, with Supabase being a prime example of both. For just the latter, Plausible Analytics is one, where one could self host (I in fact do, via Coolify.io) but you'd lose out on updates unless you build your own CI/CD system to pull and merge updates from their releases.
Totally right, perforce is used by almost all large game studios. But it's painful to use for smaller studios and indie devs - it requires managing your own server with configuration, backups, networking etc. It's also not great for cloud based workflows and remote work, and super expensive with rigid licensing.
I just got back from Japan. What I find interesting is that when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s, it was seen as the pinnacle of technology.

Now, they are still using fax machines everywhere, websites are using technologies from the early 2000s, and internet speeds are much slower than other places I've been. For example, Vietnam had higher public Wifi hotspot speeds.

"On the other hand, we can become so lost in language games themselves that the grounded connection of language to the cultural meaning system is lost, and we end up desperately spewing out word-salads in a frantic attempt to find that lost connection. The former problem of living Becker linked to states of depression, while the latter he linked to schizophrenia."

To some extent, I liked the article, even agree mostly, but itself also tends towards the 'word salad'.

Does this mean anything "":On the one hand, then, we have ‘depression’ as an understanding of a relationality that is so locked into a singular frame of reference that any sense of sovereignty is usurped by the self-imposed dogma of the system itself, leading to both the former ignorance Greer writes of and a personal form of melancholic depression. On the other hand we have schizophrenia, a relationality so unkept than anything and everything is packed full of meaning, connections are drawn between everything, and existence is pure pattern and relation. But, if everything means something, nothing means anything. Meanings needs limits, yet can’t be dogmatically limited. Meaning, then, needs equilibrium.""
Do you have more documentation somewhere? If so, I’d suggest making it more easily accessible. I couldn’t find any on the site and the support link just takes me to discord. I’d be more inclined to sign up if there was some documentation I could read through to get a sense for requirements, setup, branching, CLI commands, etc.
>>Or no Boeing planes at all?

That will never happen, the federal government would never allow it, and they have many avenues to ensure it

1. All Future bailouts of Airlines could be contingent on them buying Boeing Aircraft

2. Direct Bail out of Boeing to make them the most inexpensive plane to buy

3. Regulation to prevent advertisement of aircraft type

4. Increase import tariffs or other protectionism to make Airbus and other manufacturers more expensive

Boeing is a national defense contractor and it too important to our national interests to be allowed to fail, if the 4 things I listed above do not happen something else will will prevent Boeing from Going under, or even losing market share.
That's the problem, it's not about your safety, it's about that of your environment. And Dacia's, especially their cheap SUVs, are horrible at keeping pedestrians safe.

I find it quit insightful if you want an update of the affairs in the car market.

And I happen to have a friend in Germany in the industry, he acknowledges the utter fear the German brands have with the storm that is ahead (he is actually considering to leave Germany). The largest EV producer in the World only two weeks ago sent their first shipment to Europe. This 'clickbait' is just starting to unfold.
Thought experiment: You sell a hosted solution and also release your software as open source.

Daily, you are bombarded with decisions for how to allocate resources. In each of those, do you lean towards the option that makes it easier to self host rather than spending those resources on other things?

The big question is whether the antifragility described will actually apply to those kinds of anarchism.

It is likely that non-violent anarchism will be actually so fragile that any disturbance will turn it to the regular, tried, violent kind.

Congrats on the HN launch. How does this improve or expand or blow git-lfs[1] out of the water because if I needed large blob file support it's what I would use instead. It offers pointers to the big files to the hosted git instead of pushing around the binaries itself -- though I am speculating since I've not used it myself just read about it online.

I mean the nice UI and collab features are indeed improvements but I'm thinking more core git specific improvements.

> The last thing you want is types when you're a beginner.

I disagree. Data types are an intuitive concept. Integers and strings are obviously different, and you can do further and distinguish arrays, characters, and dictionaries.

I'd argue Python is slightly beginner unfriendly in this one way because variable types are implicit rather than explicit (unless you use type annotations), but still important, as you'll get a type error if you try to, for example, sum a number and a string.
I agree things in your list are also important, but I’d say for anyone having tinnitus would agree that nothing in that list compares to the constant torture of what tinnitus is.

On one hand, it is not that bad, one is not disabled by having it.

On the other hand, it is always there, there’s nothing you can do to make that easier, not even for a moment.

It’s not about ability, but what it does to you mentally.

I wouldn't dismiss the safety feature a modern car has, you never know when you might need them.

Features like auto braking system are incredible. I know someone where this saved a kids life (kid ran on the road from between cars right in front of a car).

The crash safety feature on high end cars are also incredible, I know someone else with a completely mangled up car after a high speed crash just walk and be fine.

I am also old enough to know people that have died or with lasting damage like paralysis or back issues from crashes quite some time ago.
Great point! I should probably add that to the article. In our case (Supabase) we have indeed spent the last few years working on compliance (SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR etc.) in order to meet these requirements so your comment here is on point.
> Haier claims these plugins cause the firm significant financial damage and violate copyright laws

Haier issued the takedown notice specifically on copyright grounds. Google and Oracle already battled this one out, and it was decided that using an API is fair use. This is probably the rule of thumb now barring exceptional cases.
Even if JS does not have a "public" ABI, I'm pretty sure passing an integer will be faster than passing a new temporary object in at least multiple JS implementations.
I also always wonder in cases like this if the person just didn’t know about reflog.

You _really_ have to try to fuck up hard enough that everything is gone, it just might require even more arcane commands than what got you into a mess.
I think so too, but regularly people try to make APIs about copyright too. Java comes to mind, don’t remember the details.

Ask HN: Collecting leads from a landing page. Doing it yourself or use any app?
Hi, I want to ask you, do you use something to collect leads from your landin page or do you do it completely on your own by writing software?
I'm asking because I'm thinking about creating a SaaS service that allows you to easily create and embed a form on a landing page.
The collected information from customers would be in one place, you could filter it, send them emails with product updates.
Despite a policy of "use original titles", the HN software automatically mangles titles.

This is one of the more bizarre auto-editing of titles it does because of how pointless it feels.

"The man who" is established English convention. "A man who" is changing the meaning for the sake of it without producing a clearer title. The person is unambiguously defined, so the definitive article is entirely correct. If the person isn't one of a set of people to whom the description could apply, it makes no sense to use the indefinite article. If a title was, "The man who starts every day with steak and chips" then switching to, "A man who starts every day with steak and chips" feels correct, he almost surely is not alone in doing so.

In contrast, "A man who coined the word Robot", is not correct, it alters the meaning to suggest that someone else could also have coined the word.

HN also removes "How" from the start of titles which often destroys meaning too. That is explained as trying to "reduce clickbait" titles, but the effect is often to make the title nonsensical.

It's one of the many contradictions about this place.

I feels as if whoever set up this system hasn't truly understood the meaning that "The man who" conveys, and has attempted to force a version they see as "more correct" despite it producing nonsense.
Thanks for flagging that! Just updated the site and forgot the link. It should be there now!

I understand you can give 1000's of reasons why it's fine. But it's still IMHO a sad reality that a giant cooperation cannot play it fair by being a corporate sponsor of the open source projects that they more or less wish to directly use as a service...

I get that legally this is fine but ... Common... adapting FOSS for your own use cases in your basement or little company is still very different then a giant cooperation outcompeting you before you ever had a change...

There might be room for a license to make FOSS software more like BSL if used by a company above a certain revenue threshold or w/e... Perhaps legally that's impossible, otherwise I have no idea why such a template does not exist yet.

I'm confused how someone would generally consider the AGPL to be non-free, but still perceive the GPL as a free license.

In either case you don't have to pay for the software, can modify it however you'd like, and run it wherever you want. You just have to share the modified source code.
