> The people who established the free software and open source movements care deeply about the standards embodied in the licenses those movements use. It disrespects their work and vision to conflate other licenses with FOSS licenses, and it pollutes the commons.

You know that the term 'open source' was coined because someone disagreed with the vision of the 'free software' people? It's fine to have a different vision. Thought you might want to come up with a different term, of course.
Awesome, did not know about the HN api, nice!

What open source LLM did you use? Anything that would run on a CPU of a 5 year old MacBook Air (which I’m using as my home server)

Do you have the code for your project? Or maybe some features/ideas that you could share?

Thank you
Some of this could be from a funding round too. I had to actually sign my NDA when people were crossing Is and dotting Ts before closing a round. I had had some printer issues around hiring and hadn't signed it, and nobody followed up until someone wanted to be sure everyone was under NDA.

Also, the morning of a big announcement, my boss asked me "can the blog handle heavy load?" and I was like "yeah sure, but nobody reads the blog", "they will, can we make it like a static page or something?" ... So, like ok, whatever, stupid thing to ask for, but it's easy. Got that going, and also we had a meeting added, no agenda. And one of my coworkers was convinced something was going on, he said people had been in the office all weekend.
CNN is openly and explicitly pro-israel.

Can you provide any examples for your claims otherwise?
For many uses (especially those related to specific web sites, web apps, services, etc), they are better at customizing the web experience compared to browser extensions, but for some uses it isn't.

One use I used it for is to be able to view files on GitHub without needing to load all of the scripts from GitHub (which are much larger than mine). This works without any additional network connections, because the data is included in the HTML file.

On some web pages, I use userscripts to add accesskey attributes.

Sometimes, I will fix bugs on web pages by adding user scripts.

I find document.evaluate very useful in many of these cases and many other scripts I have written.

However, for many web pages, I find user CSS is useful and scripts do not need to be added. (Sometimes, I add both.)

> I'm pretty sure Hutterer was the one who pushed it into the App layer.

I'm not sure what he did and I'm not trying to do fingerpointing. I thought he just pushed it away from libinput stating that it's the wrong place to handle it and wanting to keep libinput as "clean" as possible - even if this might be a questionable argument in this case.

To answer one of your other comments...

> If you mark them with a "this is a synthetic event" bit, the compositor/windowmanager has all the information it needs to decide whether or not to ignore the event (because, for example, the pointer moved out of one window and into another).

Yeah, this would be one of the many possible partial solutions. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally fine with this suggestion, but let's think that through:

libinput implements "simulated" events algorithm for intertial scrolling. It also would probably need a config setting for "speed" or "intensity". Nevertheless, this would not help without changes in at least one of the other layers I mentioned (Compositor, Window Manager, Apps) to either ignore or handle these events. In my opinion the App layer is the wrong place, because so every App developer / maintainer who want's to support inertial scrolling had to implement it AGAIN for his personal app which would create a tremendous amount of additional effort and different implementations acting differently. Not a great user experience...

So, the (additional) implementation has to be done somewhere between libinput and the App layer, which means either compositor or window manager.

Now, if an implementation in one of these layers is inevitable to get it working, why should it be implemented in libinput? Issues would spread over two projects, instead of one and getting pushed back and forth. This is of course my personal opinion.

Instead NOBODY implemented it and App developers and Framework Developers (QT, GTK, etc.) put in the effort to workaround this problem. That just feels wrong to me.

I wish at least one project just had shown good will to do it, in my opinion it would have been better to implement it everywhere (with optional disable) instead of nowhere, but I think it's just a too heated topic to solve it easily :-)

Capturing and restoring form entries is something that probably would be useful as an actual browser extension (or a built-in feature to some browser), to add a menu or a keyboard command to be able to specify file names to save and recall form data.
It’s not a genocide yet I suppose, if you define such a thing purely by percentage dead, but it certainly seems like Israel would like to do a nice big genocide, and like what they’re doing shares many characteristics with the actions of a country engaging in a genocide.
In agreement with the other commenter, the loss of life implicit in depriving so many people of homes, food, clean water, and medical care can’t be justified even if it results in the elimination of hamas after a long process of starving them out. I’m no expert, but I’d advocate a response that ensures Israel cannot be hurt by further attacks, cuts hamas off from arms or reinforcements, then negotiates the release of hostages. What they’re doing instead is needlessly murdering tens of thousands of innocents, and I can’t imagine that number remains in the double digits by the end of this.

> I can't stand the Android experience, honestly.

The average Android phone is like $180. You can't stand cheap phones, which is legit, but that's what "Android" is.

I don't know if this is in the zeitgeist yet. People spend more on a pair of airpods as people spend on a whole Android phone. That works because 10% of a $1,400 phone is $140. It doesn't work when 10% of $180 is $18.

Where is there space for a third party ecosystem if there's only $18 on the table? Android users used to be 2.5x less valuable than iOS, and maybe it's closer to 5x-10x now.

This is essentially Apple's value proposition to developers: "We have the rich users." And it's true, that's valuable. But do they deserve 30% of every transaction, to the most disfavorable agents in every software category? The way Apple and Steam conduct themselves is apples to oranges.

> Safari, Photos and Music

The Photos app is profoundly shitty. Lightroom Classic is like 13 years old now. How long did we have to wait for Lightroom Classic's 2009 featureset? The sharing features are abysmal. Why not open the API to the same shared photos backend Photos uses? Apple doesn't charge for access to the API, it charges users for storage - what difference does it make to them? It only matters because they are smart people, they know their software sucks, and if they allowed that level of compatibility, people would immediately abandon Photos, and yes, there would be a cross compatible Photos-like experience with Android and desktops, it would be superior, and it would harm Apple's primary idea of forcing people to use their trash.
How do you ensure continuity from frame of reference (observer consciousness?)

> Operating an alternative app marketplace requires significant responsibility and oversight of the user experience

Having access to 1 million space bucks is indication of at least some responsibility. And being around for 2 years without breaking the rules and having an app people seem to like I guess shows responsibility too?

Apple wants someone to sue on behalf of their users if an Appstore does bad things. I don't think that's terribly unreasonable.
This is really great.

> These applications tend to have incredible pricing power. The more of someone's cognition that gets offloaded to the app, the more switching means scooping out a portion of their brain and waiting a few months or years for it to grow back.

Huh, that’s an interesting way of looking at it. I’d tend to be allergic to that type of product I think; I love vim, but I wouldn’t have become reliant on it if it was proprietary, I think. If someone could revoke a license key and cripple my brain, that would be too stressful and uncertain an existence.

That said, open source devotees aren’t typical so I guess my case doesn’t tell me anything about the theory in general.

No, I actually like that approach better than the traditional ECS approach. Though I assume it both adds and removes some complexity. In a traditional ECS approach you can depend on certain systems running in certain orders because you depend on them having run. Then you refactor, forget this dependency, and suddenly you have changed behaviors and you have no idea why until you remember this. If, as I assume, you have per step immutability that removes a whole class of bugs at the cost of a slight increase in complexity.
Ohh okay. I skipped a comment in the chain and thought you meant either the redirect on Kagi doesn't work on mobile, or the old.reddit.com site doesn't work on mobile.
IIRC Google does the build, so they need the private key to sign the resulting binaries?

Edit: I'm probably thinking of Android and they'd probably sign with their own key.

He may be hiding a learning disorder, vision or memory problems. He may/may not be aware of his problem(s). Your task depends on how much you are a friend but in any case rolls out to

a) finding what his problem(s) are,

b) telling him about them in a serious and private conversation, probably outside of work, and finally

c) encouraging him to address any problems with professional help if necessary.

Just because an engineer has a friend who is a felon you’d pass? Are they supposed to cut someone out of their life because they committed a felony?

Honestly, it’s very discriminatory.
I took a look at the scripts, and they’re a bit more involved than that. For instance, in some cases they change the text of certain elements, presumably where the original text contains information OP described not wanting to see. In other cases, nodes are selected for their text content. It’s conceivable that some or even most of what the scripts do would be achievable with CSS, but probably not all of it. And it would probably require a level of CSS sophistication beyond OP’s start with JS (and likely beyond the CSS skillset of many otherwise experienced programmers).

All of that said, and I mean this kindly… I think there is an aspect of your comment that comes off dismissive, which is an implicit why did you choose X instead of Y? that a novice programmer likely couldn’t be expected to answer meaningfully. OP articulated very clearly what problem they set out to solve (impressively so! much more effectively than many Show HN submissions from seasoned devs). They also explained clearly how they used an existing tool designed for solving similar problems.

It’s certainly possible they will benefit from learning about different techniques to address some aspects of the problem. But an interrogatory introduction to why those alternatives weren’t chosen can be rather intimidating.

> It's basically a "9 points for a correct answer, 0 for anything else" test that simply starts with a score of -4 N.

But it's not. Skipped questions before your final answer get a bad score, while skipped questions after your final answer get a medium score.

If you take a blank test and answer the last question only, your score drops by hundreds of points.

No normal test does that. That's how it penalizes skipping around.

Ultimately its really hard to generalise when it comes to job hoppers. It can be good, or bad, for both employer and employee.

As an employer we expect folk to hop[1] a bit in their 20s. If that extends into their 30s or beyond that's a red flag. It suggests either the candidate will leave us soon (if they are instigating the hops) or that they're a bad employee (if the keep getting fired.) Neither is a good look.

Equally hopping as you get older gets harder. A 55 year old who hasn't held a job for more than 5 years is not terribly appealing to me.

On the up side, the serial hopper who is 32, just got married, has a kid on the way, and brings a bunch of skills is probably worth a punt.

[1] I'd define a "hop" as a function of age. Anything less than 2 years is a red flag. For older folk a regular pattern of < 5 years is a flag.

(Terminology as described further upthread at that link: CMES is an official record system for the plane. SAT is described as "Like Slack" and not an official record of the plane and its maintenance)

"finally we get to the damning entry which reads something along the lines of “coordinating with the doors team to determine if the door will have to be removed entirely, or just opened. If it is removed then a Removal will have to be written.” Note: a Removal is a type of record in CMES that requires formal sign off from QA that the airplane been restored to drawing requirements.

If you have been paying attention to this situation closely, you may be able to spot the critical error: regardless of whether the door is simply opened or removed entirely, the 4 retaining bolts that keep it from sliding off of the door stops have to be pulled out. A removal should be written in either case for QA to verify install, but as it turns out, someone (exactly who will be a fun question for investigators) decides that the door only needs to be opened, and no formal Removal is generated in CMES (the reason for which is unclear, and a major process failure). Therefore, in the official build records of the airplane, a pressure seal that cannot be accessed without opening the door (and thereby removing retaining bolts) is documented as being replaced, but the door is never officially opened and thus no QA inspection is required.
This entire sequence is documented in the SAT, and the nonconformance records in CMES address the damaged rivets and pressure seal, but at no point is the verification job reopened, or is any record of removed retention bolts created, despite it this being a physical impossibility."
Same. I used to take the bus for 1h and go to a bigger city nearby, just so I could buy the magazine at the newsstand. They'd get just a handful of copies each month, so I would have to go several days in a row so I could get one before they ran out.

I learned so much reading Dr. Dobbs while growing up. I'd probably understand a third of the content at max, and many things I read didn't really "click" until much years later. But it was still very formative for me, and remember with fond memories several of the articles. I still have a box full of them somewhere.

It's a shame it didn't survive the internet era.

Failing to protect and targeting is widely different, and it is not in good faith to claim the latter without evidence.
There are a few types of acquisition:

- everyone gets rich (including employees with equity)

- founders and investors get rich, nobody else gets shit

- investors get good return, founders get a bit, nobody else gets shit

- investors make mediocre return based on liquidation pref, nobody else gets shit

- nobody gets shit (but people keep their jobs in the acquirer)

In all but the first situation, you as an employee (even a high-up one) are basically being sold to another company without any upside, and whether or not you want to stay will depend 100% what you think about the acquirer.
One should be careful not to confuse an unknown reason with the non-existence of a reason.

Incidentally, I expect this is also the reason Google allows subsequent uploads without the key. They don't want someone to lose their extension when they lose their private key.

They don't want someone to "lose their extension" if the private key is lost? That makes no sense and completely undermines using PKI in the first place. This isn't how "code signing" is supposed to work _at all_.

I mean, what was I doing on September 19, 2023? IHNFC. I could look at work logs and notes, and my personal calendar and guess. But if I did any work stuff without detailed logs, I might be able to tell you I did X or Y, but unless it was special, I wouldn't be able to tell you much in detail or why I did a routine task one way or another.

Boeing does have logs for some operations, but based on the preliminary report, and that one forum post, and this hearing, it seems highly likely that this plug opening and closing was not documented. It would be interesting to know if other openings were or were not. Unsourced reports indicated many fuselages needed rivet repair, so there could be several examples to look at.
