From a mental health perspective, I'm worried. Martin used to compose, record with his band and perform live. And Wintergatan are great live.

Spending 5 years failing to build MMX and then starting over to spend...what, another 2,3,5 years building a machine that at this point isn't terribly interesting anymore seems more like painful sisyphean obsession than fun. And if he were to succeed this time, he will still have pissed away a decade he could have spent doing something he is actually good at.

Sure, it was entertaining to watch and I learned quite a few interesting things along the way. But towards the end, it became painful and disturbing to watch as the project seemed to consume him.

I'm not going to argue that one activity is more meaningful than another, but wasting a decade doing something you're clearly not good at and failing doesn't seem like a good place to be.
The end result will most probably violate the GPL. However, this is only realized by each user; you could probably argue that you never test your software and only look at API documentation.

And then it becomes a problem of proving your users violating the GPL. So you'd have to go after each one of them, which will be incredibly difficult, and proving damages would be even more difficult.

It's an asshole way of exploiting "Wo kein Kläger, da kein Richter" (where's no plaintiff, there's no judge) since actually proving that the developers violated the GPL will be difficult, unless they have a CI system that readily documents this.
How would something like this impact our understanding of the heat death of the universe?

I always thought interstellar space is an inert medium. But it seems something “interesting” _can_ still happen.

What does OSHA say about common cold?

I have never any workplace to protect against any disease other than covid. Covid is here to stay and we will have yearly out breaks just like we have flu season. It isn't any more deadly than any other disease you might commonly encounter in your life.
The US is big. It is very location dependent and whether your utility is private or public.

I live in rural Washington and my rate is $0.0634/kWh. My utility is a public one and also non-generating. The power comes from a Federal agency(Bonneville Power Administration) which is is in turn overseen by the Department of Energy.
> very few people take software licenses as seriously as they should.

Isnt the fact that it has taken this long and required a straight up violation of the direct terms of the licence proof that people were probably justified in not caring until now?

The European Commission have published an interesting article disputing the possible viral effect of linking in EU law: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/eupl/news/why-viral-l...

It doesn’t practically change much for most developers, but imo it underlines a bit of the challenge of misunderstandings and the complexity around the sharp corners of open source, in particular outside of the US as most licenses were designed in the US by Americans.
You remember CVS hell yeah and SVN too ;) Fuck am I getting old...

Thank you! And informative.

Again, I said "smooth" animation. Yes, it's kind of obvious that rendering movement is possible in the terminal as long as it can update the screen fast enough, but it feels pretty laggy at lower speeds because of the lack in precision.
When people implement animations on UI elements they do it because it feels fluid, that's why terminal text editors aren't known to have smooth scrolling for example.
Thank you greazy!
Tangentially related for anyone that needs to hear it: evaluate the content in context, the author is irrelevant
Yeah for interpreted languages this may be OK. For compiled languages it becomes harder to not "convey" anything derived from GPL code you linked against. The GPL even explicitly exempts system components for this reason.
Ban ransoms to stop hackers, says ex-cybersecurity chief
Rust in Production: Fossa
Rust as one of the default languages for new projects:

"As FOSSA continues to evolve, how do you foresee the roles of Rust and Haskell changing in your future initiatives?

Broadly, it seems to me that FOSSA effectively considers these two languages (alongside TypeScript for web projects) to be the “de facto” languages for most new work."
The content of the post is underwhelming; the more interesting part is the comments.

Probably just an ad for the books. But some of the comments really are heartbreaking.

Tangentially, I've really come to appreciate that Hacker News sometimes provides a glimpse into non-tech topics I've otherwise wouldn't have come across.
And how would you decrypt on mobile while allowing to edit the files?

Cryptomator works well as long as your on a desktop platform, but when you move to a smartphone they provide only their crippled file-manager which is not accessible form third party apps.
As a pure copyright license the GPL concerns itself with distribution only. You cannot violate the GPL as an end user without distributing something.
You seem to be confused which party is the belligerent one.

Not the OP but some of their points are genuine things. Quite surprised they didnt mention the obvious - the added personal costs and time.

Everything thats mentioned as a counter point is a compromise to working from home, almost like a "well you could work from home, and save money, and have your own coffee...but why do that when you can come to work and bring coffee with you".

I'm sure some thrive in a typical open plan office. Most in technical roles however do not, and find it extremely counter productive.
For the blackmailer it's a low risk proposition to fish for illegal payments. Their hacking and blackmail is already illegal anyway.

So this just means people will pay ransom illegally, if they're to save their data or prevent their private files and photos from being exposed to the world.

Now you don't just have the hacking to worry about, but also the law not being on your side.

I wonder what the authors of this article are trying to achieve.

Do they want to get back in touch with their estranged adult children? If that’s the goal then this approach is unlikely to be successful.

It reads more like someone who is hurting, but doesn’t want to take responsibility for their part in the dynamic, so they’re making it the fault of the other party. It might make them feel better in the short term, but it’s a terrible long term strategy.
Once you start investing in content strategy expecting some ROI, an established content plan is a must.
Or put another way, this wave may not be technology-based disruption but business-model based disruption. For example, if LLMs enable subscription or service-based models that deliver more value than ad-based/aggregator based ones, a nimble enough disruptor may surface. Probably too early to tell.
> The one very important thing to keep in mind though is that you're going to need to peel back the abstractions and understand what's happening under the hood.

I agree with this although I think it can sometimes be a red herring for those new to optimization. It's possible to spend a lot of time digging deeper when that's not really what's needed. For example, you might find a particular database query that's really slow and start looking at what configuration tweaks you can make to your database server. But maybe if you structure the application a bit differently, that query isn't necessary at all.

It's a great skill to be able to peel back layers of abstraction and continuing to optimize all the way down. But it's an equally important skill to be able to know what later really needs optimizing.
The point was not for me to expose my ignorance of how AI is trained - but that is, after all, where we are at.

The point really was that the creators of AI have to test against the UDHR.

Perhaps, actually, this is a more legislative issue - which is why I would say its even more important for the technologically-elite to get this right, before it hits that wooden wall ..

A letter from Larry and Sergey (2019)
I don’t think you can. But you can still work on your project and commit when you get back online.

Even 20 years ago, you could reasonably assume regular online connections.
Or at the very least call it capitalised Free Software, to make it clear you're using a marketing term (in this case, RMS's).
All TV and computer audio runs at it, raise for TV/Film purposes 48000 is a very nice round number.
I have mixed feelings about this, because I've seen both sides intimately. There are definitely parents of assholes, and parents who screwed up but won't be forgiven, for sure.

But I've also seen deeply narcissistic parents hang out in forums like this, who either refuse to, or are incapable of, acknowledging everything they did to drive their children away, even to themselves.

Take the comments with a grain of salt, is all.
You're only comparing suburbs to cities. Suburbs don't make any sense in the remote era.

Small towns are a great option, you can bike literally everywhere and meet people very easily. Only two gyms, but not crowded!

The suburbs really only serve a purpose to house people near a city to commute to, which is moot if you're working remotely.

There's no perks of a city or a town living in a suburb. People live in them because of their jobs.
This article has made me feel decidedly old, given that I've used all of the repositories listed at one time or another.

If someone choses to do it (and is not required) then why is it an issue?

I do 6:30am - 3pm and have done for years, it fits my day well. Others I work with might not start till 10am. Thats the great thing about working from home, you get more flexability in your start/end time. As long as you get your working hours done it's a total non issue.
That's a better argument :) I'd also like to add that prisoners in the USA lose their voting rights. However, the argument was initially about Taiwan, not about the USA.

Maybe because it's also an attempt at marketing as well.
MENACE - Matchbox Educable Noughts And Crosses Engine (1961 mechanical ML / RL)
Submitting note: I was surprised this hasn't been posted on HN before, since it's one of (maybe the?) earliest examples of proving how a computer can learn from failures over lots of training runs to gain "intelligence", as well as being a relatively easy to understand explanation of how that can work, so it seems interesting historically considering the current state of machine learning in the world. It's also the sort of thing you could make, and train, yourself if you're bored one weekend (or if you have kids I dare say there's an age that many could love doing it and learn at same time).

Something that has been submitted a couple of times before by users jordigh and JNRowe (but only getting 40 points and 3 comments[1] between them) is the website of Matthew Scroggs, who both writes about the physical MENACE he built and trained, and how to do that, and also provides a digital MENANCE simulator he built for anyone who wants to play around it without actually needing a few hundred matchboxes.

His MENACE main page is here: https://www.mscroggs.co.uk/menace/

Not sure what country you are in, but in France if the other party is not going forward with it you use a "commissaire de justice", which is a regulated profession with special powers and will be able to seize money straight from the other party bank account (while taking a fee and a % for himself for his services). It works whether the other party is a legal or a moral person, they're also allowed to get inside their home or office and seize physical things, or even put a place for sale. See [1].

You need a "titre executoire", which a judgment in court is.
If on the other hand you have a simple normal everyday contract and the customer isn't paying for it, you can ask the court for a titre executoire, where the other party can argue and the judge can check whether it was a real contract / you delivered / ... and if yes will give an order to pay -- it takes between 2 weeks and 3 months in my experience, if you get the titre and the other party still doesn't pay then you can use the commissaire de justice de seize from their account.

If your contract is for a sum below 5000 you don't need to involve the court, only to have tried amical resolution before, and then the unpaid contractual debt act as a titre executoire by itself, that the commissaire can act on (though as that point the other party is allowed to involve a judge to protect themselves if needed or wanted).

They usually send a notice to banks and banks have to return what accounts they own for said person, to allow the proportional seizure.

Now this has limits of course, most importantly if the other party is insolvent, or if the commissaire cannot find their assets or they don't have any, etc ... But for a company like Orange, it's a non issue.

This will be paid, one way or the other.

Is this supposed to be a gathering place for parents that don't know what "tit for tat" is? Those children probably have bottled up resentments.
Yes, all of the above is on the condition that some distribution happened (and you can prove that).

However, distribution also happens in places you might not expect. As a business, I'd stray far away from such constructs even if I only use this construct internally.

However, this is purely based on the wording of the GPL. For example, the EUPL explicitly covers the creation of derivative works - and I'd argue that the proposed circumvention would create a derivative work.

Having spent some time living in Zurich I call bullshit on this; the streets and train stations are _deserted_ at 6am. Shops are still getting deliveries, coffee shops are still closed.

No significant numbers of people - in Zurich at least - are starting work in offices at 6am.
You should take an infrared thermometer and point it to the clear sky. If the sky is very clear, you will get temperatures much lower than ambient. You just let heat radiate away, and this is enough to cool.
For me heavily depends on the music.
Just been listening to heavy drum and bass for the past 2 hours and been in absolute hyperfocus. Music is the best for me, should be familiar and not have too many lyrics tho.

Sometimes it's drum and bass, mostly some synthwave/chill beats.

Edit: But the problem here is. If I am already exhausted and got distracted by those noises, then getting into focus with just music often does not work. I do have adhd and it could be that misophonia is playing into it too. Still trying to figure out my best work environment, but it's hard
Yeah, twenty years ago, it was quite important to already have everything onboard that you might possible need, when the modems didn't work.

I don't know what happened here, with this amnesia - twenty years ago, my CD stack was vital for some things - if only for finding code samples in the comp.lang.c archives that I long had on rotation in the multi-CD selector.

Thirty years ago, you had to have books. And magazines.

Fourty years ago, a guru friend.
Yes. But with a book I can reread a passage several pages or chapters back and can visually search for a pattern.
FFMPEG. Look at the amount of legal horse fertilizer here: https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html ... and every time I've seen people asking what they can and can't do, someone from the ffmpeg devs (once in a couple of years when they actually respond to someone) just says "talk to your lawyer". I mean, flip a few switches and suddenly you're under a different licence ... and all this you have to look up yourself. Many (especially smaller) devs just don't care and distribute ffmpeg together with their (often non-oss) tools. Given the amount of these in the wild, if someone really had an axe to grind, they could sue hundreds, maybe thousands of devs of all sizes. It's a total minefield. And one of the most popular (L)GPL packages in existence.
Ask HN: List of Subdomains to Reserve
One of the features I am working on for my app (https://bigpicture.site) is the ability for each customer to have a custom subdomain in their url (similar to slack where each workspace is in the form of {name}.slack.com.)

I understand the technical details of setting up the wildcard subdomains and handling it, but I am curious if there is a canonical list somewhere of subdomains I shouldn't let a customer register.

For instance, I wouldn't want a customer to use www as their workspace name. www.bigpicture.site should be reserved.

What other subdomain names should be reserved? Just from brain storming, here is the list I came up with. But I'd love to know if there is a better list somewhere:

www
mail
ftp
web
smtp
imap
pop
pop3
blog
support
about
social
billing
admin
knowledge
help
community

Additionally, I am going to reserve anything that starts with the letters "bp" so I can use those internally.
It is a "magic" boundary in that it is an interface to another process, i.e. effectively another program altogether.

I have a hard time taking this seriously. Power dynamic goes the other way around in the family. No doubt there are some people who are the nicest people in the world and their kid suffers from a mental disease and becomes abusive towards them, but how many can there possibly be?

Taiwan is an island and added to that the terrain is a hell for an invasion (mountains, many rivers to cross...). Ukraine is mostly flat, has a very long border with Russia / Belarus. Taiwan is way more defensible than Ukraine.
Surrealism is well and alive even if the people in the formal movement are not here anymore or it is not exactly following the original manifesto. The search for creation, dreams, etc are what drives many artists (and scientists...). Probably one difference is the context of Surrealism, after WWI, happenning also while WWII, Spanish Civil War, etc. Those were strong moments to live in mixing art, politics, etc, and also bohemianism beyond capitalism.

I also find strong links between surrealism and curiosity in general, don't know why Marcel Duchamp [1] is not mentioned there but he was some kind of polymath and art was another tool on his box.

Yeah, and the very idea that it's meaningful group together the parents as the victims and the children as the perpetrators tells me that the people behind this website are being unreasonable.

That's not how relationships work. If your relationship with your child breaks down and you go to club together with other parents and deliberately create a grouped division like this, instead of actually examining the things the actions that led to your individual situation, I can't really take you seriously!

And if I _was_ going to "take a side" in the ridiculous aggregation of all broken paren-child relationships... I'm not gonna take the side of the people who had absolute power over the other side's entire childhood, set most of the behavioural examples, and has an additional generation's worth of experience managing conflict.

Edit: this is a bit like men who respond to a breakup by becoming online mysogynists. Maybe the other individual _was_ just a manipulative psychopath but if your response is to politicise that experience into "women are manipulative psychopaths" then it's obvious you don't understand people or relationships.

> Members recognize that unjustified emotions (like supersensitivity due to trauma, or irritation with another person that colors the view of everything the person does) are real and deserve respect, but they also believe that unjustified emotions shouldn't be acted on. They show posters different ways to view the situation and give advice on how to handle the emotions. In short, they believe that external events create emotional responses, that only some responses are justified, that people's initial perceptions of events are often flawed, and that understanding external events can help people understand and manage emotions.
