I’m with you thus far, but I’m trying to parse the notice to see why GitHub is even complying (see https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2024/03/2024-03-1... ) and I think Torrentfreak got it wrong. I think they’re trying to claim infringement on Plex Server, but the English in the takedown notice is barely legible (and it feels like a mixup between trademarks and copyright), to the point that I find GitHub’s compliance odd.
> Is this really a place where we need government intervention

Yes, it affects all of us and positions Granny Smith for even more control over derived areas. For one, Apple are applying American morals to decisions about what kind of content is appropriate in apps.

> when consumers are willingly making this choice?

Are they, though? They're making the choice, but there's lots of factors, and this is hardly the most obvious one. So there's lots of little, day-to-day choices by individual consumers based on what looks cool, what can I afford, what has the best games - and these small chocies just happen to add up to big choice that total control of smartphones should be ceded to Apple.

> But right now, it's only a problem because half the buyers are happily choosing Granny Smith despite all the alternatives (which generally have more features and cost less).

In my country it's actually something like 80% - and it skews in a certain way so that many apps are iOS-only. Not the ones you can't live without, not yet, at least.

> Even worse, they say they like these limitations, and don't want them removed!!!

I know Apple are running a big fearmongering campaign, but to the best of my knowledge, all of the changes that the DMA enforce are opt-in. The only way it affects you if you don't want to opt-in is that it informs that you now have a choice.

> Not worrying about it might be close to just quitting (or silent quitting) and require a bit more mental change than "to not just worry about it". Even if that's the ultimate goal, the advice is as helpful as telling a homeless man how dreadful it is to not have a home, and then tell him to just buy a house.

I understand the sentiment and I know where you're coming from with this.

Still, if you want to be less stressed, the only solution that I have found is to just not stress over things. The moment you deeply believe that only stress will improve your life situation, you have made a decision for it to be so. This is the mechanism by which the stress then proliferates not only in you, but also to others. And you don't even get a guarantee that it's worth it. You may end up with only stress and all the goals you tried to achieve with it falling apart anyway. I don't think it's worth it. One needs to find a balance.

I'm less interested about web, but I think tables would work well for shell/terminal. If you squint, stream-of-objects and tables are sort of similar, so with some sort of PS/nushell style environment having a terminal with native table rendering ability could be great. I think lot of stuff we interact with in shell tends to be somewhat tabular in nature, but is now getting muddied by formatting it for dumb text terminals.

Just look at the first example on nushell frontpage: https://www.nushell.sh/ could that not look better with "Great Tables" or something similar?

We can argue whether artificial aging an instrument is a bad thing or not.

But I hope we can all agree that such kind of passion and drive in a young person is a very nice thing to see. Especially now when many kids are only interested in quick tik tok style of entertainment and rarely show an urge to do something hard on their own. Or I'm just looking with middle aged eyes and it was always a rare thing for a kid to be really passionate about something.

The way I see it, Japan is an Asian country, and fascination with Asian countries has a long history[0]. The other thing is that Japan has a vivid pop culture since WW2 and really ramped up its soft power effort, of which a significant aspect is the export of the Japanese culture in general [1].

Today employees are like dandelion fluff.

A little breeze threatening ones profits and whooosh, bye bye dandelion fluff employees.

I personally think it is obscene that one of the riches companies on the planet decided with a stroke of a pen to throw away 600 human beings. It wasn't their fault that another fantasy project failed.

Call me a socialist (Socialist not Communist, huge difference), which I am, but I think that there should be legislation to protect these people from the likes of Apple.

Apple could quite easily keep those staff on, even if they were sitting around playing cards and drinking tea all day.

With the amount of money Apple earn they should be forced to employ a certain amount of employees depending on their annual profits.

Apple are the Fenegi of modern life. The Ferengi were a warp-capable humanoid species from the planet Ferenginar. Ferengi civilization was built on free enterprise, where earning profit was the sole meaningful goal in life, superseding all other endeavors.

Apologize to HN: Sorry for Trolling
2 points by benreesman on April 17, 2009 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments

I was reading my comment history and came to the horrible conclusion that I am a troll. In particular I'm the worst kind of troll, the kind where it's not always clear that I'm trolling.
My childlike enthusiasm for debate (or maybe just my lousy social skills) have led me to say things that are nasty, inflammatory, sometimes clearly false, and ultimately that I have no desire to see appear next to my name.

So if I've offended any of you then I'm really sorry. I promise to reform, effective immediately.

Regards, Ben
What I am saying is someone who is very ill will not drink, because they are very ill.

So regardless of what alcohol does or doesn't do, your non drinking cohort includes all the people who are very ill and don't drink, which I assume is a larger effect than the people who are very ill and drink anyway (due to alcoholism or yolo).

Let's say 40% don't drink, 60% do.

If 1% of the population are terminally ill. Of those 90% don't drink, 10% do.

Then for 1000 people:

10 are terminally ill. 9 don't drink 1 does.
1000 is the total pop. Of those:

* 400 don't drink, and 9 of those are terminally ill.

* 600 drink and 1 of those is terminally ill.

Let's say terminally ill reduces life expectancy by 20 years.

The life lost per person due to terminal illness in the non-drinking category is 20 * 9/400, which is 0.45 years.

For drinkers it is 20 * 1/600 = 0.03 years.
That doesn’t mean that the other combinations are worthless. Presumably there’s value in the cosmetics, plus the puzzle aspect of creating and optimizing the builds along the different dimensions. Surely there’s a meta-Pareto-front of the balance between usefulness of each combination in competitions and amount of fun it adds to the game!
Seems a lot of words to express the underwhelming hypothesis that "Software is bad because young people are overstimulated".

OK - I'm being snarky but I can't see much meat in this essay. Or much novelty. It's fairly standard greybeard fare. As a fellow greybeard I often have similar thoughts - but I'd probably wait until I was struck by a touch more novelty or insight before I chose to post them online.
It is weird how no one, even here, sees this. Peddling the ‘latest and greatest’ crap like nextjs which is clearly iterated through bug ridden stages to make sure the parent company stays ahead. Dissing on decade old stuff which is stable and robust in favour of horrible VC invested dev solutions that are increasingly worse but push the stable, easy and nice stuff out of the picture because of GitHub and X likes.
I live in Kashmir, India (unfortunate) anyway, historically we have been pretty isolated from general mass market societal pressures plus strong religious affiliation means people as a society don't like alcohol.

Until last year I think there used to be a single wine shop for like 8 million population. Since then governmental pressure brought more and more shops but natives still don't accept it.

We have a huge tourist population who comes here and they are the customers + army.

Natives have not consumed alcohol for centuries and there doesn't seem to be a cultural shift towards acceptance so I can say the problems associated with alcohol are just not here.

No one gets diagnosed with alcohol liver disease or gets into drunk driving accidents or family abuse stuff.

They made their FFS 64-bit. That’s what you get. And FFS is THE standard.

In short no. Also they removed softupdates, code was old and slow and was holding back the quest to unlock.
I toyed with the idea of creating something like that a year or so ago. I have a company that makes a tool which simplifies desktop development a ton, and that was previously the blocker to people trying to do this which is why there are so many products that claim to be targeted at everyone but start with a Linux CLI.

So, can you make it brainless? Sure. Writing a nice desktop GUI that spins up a VM, logs in and administers it for you is easy. But ... who will buy it?

The problem is that self-hosting isn't something that seems to solve a problem faced by non-technical people. Why do they want it? Privacy is not workable, because beyond most people just not caring, it's turtles all the way down: the moment you outsource administration of the service your data is accessible to those people. Whether that's a natty GUI or a cloud provider or a SaaS, unless it's a machine physically in your home someone can get at your data. And with supply chain attacks not even that is truly private really.

Cost is clearly not viable. Companies give SaaS away for free. Even when they charge, other corps would rather pay Microsoft to store all their supposedly super-confidential internal docs, chats and emails than administer their own email servers.

Usability: no. Big SaaS operations can invest in the best UI designers, so the self-hostable stuff is often derivative or behind.

Probably, but I was too snark to get my point across.

You are fighting for your life => You probably choose not to drink.

This skews the non-drinking cohort, for reasons nothing to do with the positive* health effects of drink.

* There are probably no positive health effects.
No harm taken, kernel bypass technologies have moved fast in the last decade.

As a side note though, I would encourage you to revisit DPDK. I've worked in the low latency space for a long time, and used pretty much every solution out there, open source or proprietary, and DPDK is one of my favorite.

This is because DPDK is not _just_ poll mode drivers, it's a a full featured SDK for low latency packet processing. You get top notch thread safe memory pools to store packets, thread safe queues, hand written intrinsics optimized hashing and CRC algos, a cooperative scheduler in case you isolate your CPUs, etc, etc.

China is similarly an Asian country, with demanding social roles and other struggles as well. They have significantly more people and landmass, and so, opportunity for the diversity of phenomenons like this, and yet, they are much less visible than Japan's. The difference, I think, is in PR. Whatever Japan has, they turn it into pop culture, and they use that pop culture to strengthen the idea that Japan is somehow interesting. The feeling I have about China is that they rather want to project one specific image.

So I feel it's less about how the society is structured, and more about how each country positions itself.

> EU's attempted total control of all aspects of the tech platforms is harmful to consumers in a way that is not at all obvious, especially not to the less economically literate.

Who is economically illiterate here exactly? If I buy an iPhone, who owns it? Me, or Apple? According to you, it's Apple. Because they own the "platform" they get to decide what software you can run on it. No option to opt out.

Apple denying user choice for their own interest, on user owned hardware, is so obviously anti-consumer that only an ideologue would deny it.

> "For your own safety" is how authoritarianism raises.

Do you mean how Apple denys user freedom "for their own safety", literally?

Dictatorship from an unelected, self appointed corporation is actual authoritarianism.
I think that in Spain, or any other country with a national ID card, this would be mucho more difficult. Police has fingerprints of everyone. In case someone says someone else is using his identity, the police just need to check the fingerprint with the national ID database.

I live in the EU too, and I've lived in other kinds of countries.

I don't think you realize what it is to have zero control over your government, and to be represented by no one. Your statements are grossly hyperbolic and a misrepresentation of the (real) failings of our democracies.

The whole point of the current discussion is how little power you actually have over Apple and other companies as a consumer. You cannot actually "vote with your wallet" by not buying any smartphone or not mowing your grass, it doesn't work.
Maybe in theory. But in practice, I've enacted much more change in the society voting with my money than I ever did with my actual vote. In fact, I think my actual vote has never in my life counted. My choice never won, my candidate never got in.

I lived both under a communist dictatorship and democracy. My actual vote (well, my parent's, I was too young to vote then) was wasted under both.

But every time I purchase a product I know that I act as natural selection in an ecosystem of companies which cannot exist unless their actions are (partially) aligned with my interests. It works.

I also work for MSFT, and this story is frankly embarrassing. It's not even this particular case, it's that this is a pattern, both Microsoft-wide and industry-wide. The initiative you describe is part of the problem - it wouldn't even be relevant in this situation if we as a company properly funded the dependencies that we use. As you say, Microsoft has lots of procedures and bureaucracies, yet we have streamlined the use of F/OSS significantly compared to 12 years ago (I know; I was there when you had to have multiple meetings with lawyers every time you pulled in an open source dependency). Why didn't we do the same for supporting those dependencies? Why is it not part of the same workflow, even? Surely if something is a critical component in a shipping product, it needs to be sponsored appropriately automatically?
