This whole “worrying about KPI’s for my free, open source, community project” thing seems weird to me. (Not to say I don’t believe you, but I don’t understand why people want to inject this annoying mini-game into their hobby).

I’m not sure what to think about the auto-close bots. Which do you think would be more annoying as the person who made the report: having a report that just sits there forever and you just have to hope somebody decided to pick it up, or having the issue auto-closed? (I’m truly and honestly not sure). At least in the case of the former you have a clear marker for when you should try again. But getting rejected by a bot can definitely be annoying.
Ask HN: Should we build support for more CI platforms, or features for Actions?
Currently, Github Actions is de-facto the only fully supported CI platform in Digger, we’ve been building it as a CI-agnostic tool (https://github.com/diggerhq/digger) from get go. We keep getting requests to support more CI systems on our community slack and over Github issues (https://github.com/diggerhq/digger/issues/81).

Unlike other automation tools for Terraform, Digger doesn’t run jobs on the server; instead it uses your CI (like Actions) as a compute backend. This is more secure and also much cheaper if you use your own runners in your CI.

But each CI and each VCS is ever so slightly different; and we are now at a crossroads - Should we build support for more CI platforms, or more features for GitHub Actions? We’d love any thoughts/inputs!
Volume is too imprecise. It can vary. E.g. flower. 1 cup can mean a lot based on how rough the ride is from the factory to the store.

Salt & sugar have same issue. Based on grain size volume can differ while weight (and thus cooking properties) are maintained. (Yes, you use big chunks of sugar for Liège waffles, but that's an exception).
You can’t imagine an energetic waste source beyond the detection capabilities of modern humanity? This seems like the precise sort of ignorant hubris that this thought experiment is exploring.
I think it's worth distinguishing that 'most creators get paid a pittance' is only true on a per-view basis. The total outflows to creators is higher, but the total viewership is massively increased due to the leftward shift in where we live on the demand curve. There's no 'money for nothing' solution where everyone just accepts higher prices and continues consuming at the current rate.
Yep: I've long said now that heavy metal contamination is worse then radiation, because you can detect radiation with cheap, non-consumable equipment.

Try analysing lead in water or mercury in soil as easily.
I honestly don’t understand how’s this different from react server components with nextjs but with less features? It seems like the same thing but with an even clearer border between server/client components and therefore missing all the optimizations (like streaming). Like islands architecture but made out of different technologies, is my understanding correct ? I would appreciate some feedback :)

I'm optimistic Intel will get the software right in due course. Last I looked, it wasn't all there yet, but it was on the right track.

Right now, I have a nice NVidia card, but if things stay on track, I think it's very likely my next GPU might be Intel. Open-source, not to mention better value.

What I don't know is how much protection these would offer in a direct hit like the Dali on the Key Bridge. They definitely work for glancing blows and smaller vessels. Would the Dali just push right through/over these? Or would the impact move enough earth (below the surface) to cause the bridge major structural damage?
I suggest everyone listen to the current season of the Serial podcast.

>processing masses of data to rapidly identify potential “junior” operatives to target. Four of the sources said that, at one stage early in the war, Lavender listed as many as 37,000 Palestinian men who had been linked by the AI system to Hamas or PIJ.

This is really no different than how the world was working in 2001 and choosing who to send to Gitmo and other more secretive prisons, or bombing their location

More than anything else it feels like just like in the corporate world, the engineers in the army are overselling the AI buzzword to do exactly what they were doing before it existed

If you use your paypal account to send money to an account identified as ISIS, you're going to get a visit from a 3 letter organization really quick. This sounds exactly like that from what the users are testifying to. Any decision to bomb or not bomb a location wasn't up to the AI, but to humans
I know many people won't read past the headline, but please try to.

This is the second paragraph:

"In addition to talking about their use of the AI system, called Lavender, the intelligence sources claim that Israeli military officials permitted large numbers of Palestinian civilians to be killed, particularly during the early weeks and months of the conflict."

I've had to replace about 4 in the lifetime of the cars I've owned. If you replace a car every 5 years then you may not have to deal with it, but if you are a broke college student driving an older car or someone who buys a car and drives it for 10+ years it's a real problem. Especially when the engine starts to get more tired or someone uses a cordless Sawzall on it...

Every other repair I've made to older cars has been relatively painless compared to the price of a catalytic converter. Radiators, head gaskets, clutches, and brake master cylinders were a couple hundred bucks. But catalytic converters? Some of them are up to $2500 just for the part.

Electric cars have their own long term reliability issues, but for gas cars my main problem is the cat. Everything else lasts with good maintenance. Unless it's a Chrysler...
Opera has been bundling in a mail client, rss reader, calendar app etc for ages now. I also always thought it was weird but Opera people seem to like it, to the point that inspired browsers like Vivaldi also do that.

No I don’t think so.

I didn’t get the impression that is the intent.
> Hmm, so anyone can just start a company with the name of an open source project and try to monetise it? Like someone could start e.g. "Rust Labs" and sell a commercial version of Rust?

I'm not a lawyer, so take the following with that grain of salt.

In the specific case of Rust, no, because as another user pointed out, their licensing prohibits it.

If my understanding of the licenses is correct, the X-11, BSD 3-clause and BSD 4-clause licenses also prohibit this.

The MIT, BSD 2-clause and ISC licenses don't appear to prohibit this.

Your post mentions a few issues which I believe are legally separate:

1. Naming your company after an open-source project. I believe this is perfectly legal under the latter listed licenses, and happens in practice (for example, a brief search yields that React is MIT-licensed, and "React Labs" is a company).

2. Selling a commercial version of an open-source project. This is legal, and in fact a license isn't considered open source by OSI or free software by FSF if it disallows selling a commercial version. Whether this will be profitable is a separate question--generally people won't be willing to pay for something if they can just get it for free. There are two ways around this that I can think of: a) providing services and development around the open-source project, and b) extending the open source project with closed source code. The latter business model is prohibited by copyleft--you can only sell closed-source extensions to copyleft software if you have rights to the copyright (i.e. you created the code yourself) so attempting to do this with an existing copyleft-licensed project would be prohibited.

3. Enforcing trademark on the name of an open source project. My understanding is that enforcing a trademark created after a open source project started using it isn't possible, not because of licensing terms, but because of "priority of use" or "first to use in commerce"[1]. That is, if an open source project "Foo" exists already, I can't create "Foo Labs" and then sue the Foo project for using my name--on the contrary, the Foo project could probably sue Foo Labs. Redis Labs avoids this liability because they obtained rights for the trademark from the original Redis developer (I'm not sure what terms they obtained rights to the Redis name under--if they have exclusive rights they could sue anyone using the Redis name, but contribution to the project over time would likely make this complicated). There's a separate issue which is that "Foo" and "Foo Labs" are arguably different trademarks--Foo Labs can't inherently sue anyone using the Foo name, but they could likely sue someone who started a "Foo Labs" if they were the first ones to trade under that name.

Explicit bans seem so counter-productive to me when implicit bans are so easy. Why explicitly ban ICE vehicles and gas stations when sensible pollution laws would accomplish the same thing?

It's a lot harder to argue against something like NOx emission limits than ICE bans.

There are some justifications for killing. Like if you can save many lives by killing one. But in general, I agree with you.

No, probably not. When the topic at hand is the selection criteria used to justify the killing of tens of thousands of civilians, your stance on whether the ones killing tens of thousands of civilians are justified in doing so is rather intrinsic.

It also stated "They really should have to pay damages in the 6 to 7 figure range to each developer who's been looking for work in the mid 2022 to present tech recession that they caused via their monopoly power."

I never used ASP.net so I cannot offer a comparison about what is "better" but your assumption is correct that diffs are through a WS and merged client-side. What this has resulted in is actual order of magnitude of implementation time reduction over the crazier SPA complexity available today. Less time to build, less cost to the company, less bugs in the long run, and a single place to manage and reason about state. It's a win.

HN under the hood: Analyzing ~40M stories and comments
Hi HN, I've been working in the last few weeks with the HN API to analyze stories and comments—about 40 million items in total.

I'd love to hear your thoughts :)

That was exactly to show you how copyright doesn’t prevent us from building on top of things, but instead fuels innovation. IP protections is how one guy can say “you must always provide your source if you use my work” and have it quickly grow into a massive ecosystem on which most of today’s Internet runs to this day.

Open-source licensing can only exist thanks to copyright and the idea of derivative works in particular.

1. In order to license something, you have to be able to enforce it legally, and for that you have to be the author, which is what copyright means.

2. In order to encourage others to use your library but also ensure they contribute back if they make changes, you need to talk about the concept of a work that is based on your work, and that is—drumroll—a derivative work.

If you are saying that allowing any writer to be able to take the world someone else built and profit off its fame with minimal modifications is somehow promoting progress of the arts, then I don’t know what to say to you.

There is also time dilation from motion through space (motion through space + motion through time is equal to the speed of light, so as you speed up, your motion through time slows down) as well as time dilation due to gravity (like when near a black hole I think).

I'm also not a physicist, but read some popsci books in my youth like "A brief history of time" from Stephen Hawking (it's written for normal people). That's probably the best book you'd want. He later wrote a more modernized version called "a briefer history of time" as well. They both cover time dilation from a high level iirc. Of course, to truly understand you'd need to learn the math. I'm looking forward to doing that during retirement in a few decades.
o wow, i totally forgot about the feeling, yes that was nice.
I'm not talking about how people feel about anything. I'm saying that in the aggregate, differences between men and women exist that are predictable and durable. People may feel this way about star signs, but that doesn't make it true(and there isn't a mountain of scientific literature to back up the latter claim, for the former there is).

I'm also not saying that we aren't more the same than different, I think that's true as well.

Are you comparing with PWAs? Or what’s the baseline? Because with PWAs you have both too. State is accessed from the client with requests and you have to manage caching and stale state as well, to ensure performance and not drifting out of sync across components, no? Last I checked out a modern “performant” graphql stack – it was horrifyingly complex and full of knobs.
My nearest grocery store was a Whole Foods for a couple of years. Their product selection is incomprehensibly bad. There were something like 6 kinds of alternative chickpea-crust frozen pizza brands but no plain flour tortillas. Freshly baked bread was almost never stocked.

As bad as this story makes the Israelis sound, it still reads like ass-covering to make it sound like they were at least trying to kill militants.

LiveView has streaming. I would argue that if you're stuck in the React way of thinking about application design then it's not worth trying to sell you on what LiveView is doing.

I used the page title as per the guidance, but clearly its not very helpful. This is actually an important piece about Google search:

> It’s weird because the correct answer to the query “what is the best printer” has not changed, but an entire ecosystem of content farms seems motivated to constantly update articles about printers in response to the incentive structure created by that robot’s obvious preferences. Pointing out that incentive structure and the culture that’s developed around it seems to make a lot of people mad, which is also interesting!

Designing does. Building and using it is for confirming or revoking any prior assumptions you had about the initial design to improve it.

Most of the thinking should be put into designing and then revising the design, the "building" should be the simplest part.
