The "better ways" listed in this book were often worse at the metrics the old solution was targeting. They won out because they gained flexibility by loosening requirements. Personal computers were worse than minicomputers, but they were so much cheaper that they largely won out. The book is focused on the solution provider, not the consumer. The old providers lose out because they don't understand what the consumer values. OP is saying that the provider may be misunderstand the problem the consumer has when they offer a simple solution.

In an era marked by rapid technological advances, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI), traditional industries are undergoing profound transformations. This shift not only redefines how businesses operate but also challenges the established competence hierarchies within organizations. To navigate this evolving landscape, a strategy known as “creative accumulation” is emerging as a pivotal approach for maintaining relevance and competitiveness.

I'm always struck by how Nintendo seems hellbent on trying to "preserve the image" of it's brand / characters / etc by performing these kinds of takedowns, but seem perfectly fine to weather the backlash from the community and fans?

Garry's Mod and other similar games are how so many people get exposed to various different fan communities, characters, game-modes, and etc. that you'd think it'd essentially function as "free" marketing.

There's always the question of "What happens when Mario has a gun?", but you'd really hope that people would have the mental capacity to understand that it's not an official image or marketing material.

Start using Ethereum, it prevents this. Stop using intermediaries. The solution is right in front of you, but you're too distracted by the scams to see what the technology enables.

Yes it's unfortunate that so many scams exist and give the entire ecosystem a bad name, but scammers exist everywhere. Is email a scam because of scammers? Are phones a scam because of scammers? Is the stock exchange a scam because of scammers? No, and this is no different.

> it since it was repealed in the first place. From my perspective, nothing about the internet changed since then

I got downvoted heavily years ago on HN for predicting this when it was making the rounds

There is almost no evidence of a tiered model either working or being legitimately attempted, even globally in places without these rules. The only evidence I was ever given was some tiny Portugese mobile network entirely serving the lowest end of the market, and even that barely made a dent in the local market.

I want a free internet as much as anyone but people like to fear monger scenarios they invent in their heads, and pointing at vaguely defined wealthy people conspiring to do so behind the scenes, even when theres little evidence it was ever a plausible market nor technically coherent scenario.

But I guess people fear that sort of chaos where every detail isn't in a neat box clearly defined by the government, even if it means finite regulatory time/resources gets redirected from pre-existing tangible issues like privacy and spam.
It is a cultural flip. When the founders/creative/engineering forces start and build a company, business processes exist to support the business. When they leave and are replaced by successive generations of career managers, the business will exist to support the business processes. The parasites like SAP, Oracle, and the management consulting firms attach themselves to the latter caste and eat very, very well.
> they might pull something similar to Fedora

I don't think they could actually do that. They provide funding for Fedora's infra, but they don't make up the majority of contributors, and if you read through the actual governence model (note that the higher up the group, the less power it seems to have — the Fedora Council or whatever basically only exists to solve disputes that bubble up from lower, entirely community run and elected, groups), while Red Hat does have some influence/positions, they have far, far less power than the community just by numbers and also by who controls various things, and everything is also done by consensus to boot, so Red Hat couldn't just unilaterally change how Fedora works. At best they could withdraw funding (making Fedora less well-tested) and their people on the governing bodies, but it wouldn't amount to much. And Fedora is upstream from Red Hat Linux and CentOS and provides them with an utterly massive amount of labor and testing they couldn't hope to achieve on their own that they get by virtue of it being FOSS, so it would be a pure harm to them to shut Fedora down or make it closed even if they could, whereas the story is very different with CentOS and RHEL.

This is great news. Jim Spanfeller and G/O media are pretty well known as a chop shop for media properties - there's not a single part of the former Gawker empire that's done even half-decently under their control.

> In an email to G/O Media staff that was obtained by The New York Times, Jim Spanfeller, the chief executive, said the company was “undergoing an extensive review of our portfolio with the intention of coring down to our leading sites in terms of audience and revenues.”

Gawker put a bunch of famous sites together, but The Onion is the only one that I'd expect anyone who wasn't terminally online to recognize. I'm not sure how that didn't make their list of "leading sites", but I'm grateful.

> Controversial prediction:...It's...already happening

This is not a controversial take, it is just the status quo.

> Deploying one unified codebase on the web, mobile, and all major desktops is a phenomenal value.

Yeah, except when it doesn't work because of fun cross-platform incompatibilities like 'React Native Toast library doesn't support web'.

> Vastly less friction hiring from the world's largest dev pool and onboarding them to codebases written with familiar tech.

Sure, if you don't have to think about legacy codebases full of class components, hooks, Flow.js, and other technologies, and only have to care about the latest and greatest React version, it's all good.

> TypeScript's system blow away most other type systems,

In complexity, and compile times, sure. There are simpler and more powerful type systems out there, eg ReScript.

> Nobody wants to learn yet another awkward, shitty programming language that you invented with your templating system

Agreed, and it's my opinion that everyone should use HTML rendering libraries in their chosen programming language.

> React avoids this junk and stays simple -- write everything in pure TypeScript (no templates!)

Sure, if you don't count JSX as a 'template' with some 'awkward' syntax, like `className` etc.

> No, JSX is not templating

No. Some last a long time: Fortran, COBOL, C, C++, Java, C#, PHP, SQL, etc.

What doesn’t last is the hype and excitement once a language or tool becomes established and stable. Young programmers want to play with the shiny new thing.

> If not, what went wrong? If so, what language is next and what might be the next hype?

Who knows. Programming gets driven by fad and fashion, with little actual innovation. Waste of time to chase the hype.
It is possible for something to be well within their legal rights while also being what is colloquially known as "a dick move". It costs Nintendo absolutely, positively nothing and nada to allow random Garry's Mods to use models ripped from their games. This action is beneficial to nobody, anywhere.
That game has the right spirit, but I'm going for even more casual.

Some dudes worked hard to create this thing and open source it, and here you are calling them lazy and/or arrogant.

I work at a startup that does something like that. It's called Nunet and it's product is to build a descentralized compute economy. It's a spinoff from singularitynet so the main focus is machine learning and web3, but the overall goal is to have a compute agnostic platform of descentralized systems that commoditize latent compute power.

For every computer job you need four things, compute, data, storage and algorithms. The goal is to have an economy where everyone provides what they have in exchange for either tokens or access to something they don't have.

Currently the focus is the use case of descentralized SPO, but for instance there is already research in integrating the platform with kubernetes.

You can learn more at NuNet.io with the white paper.
I’d guess it’s because the size of the community that gets angry is trivially small relative to the overall customer base of Nintendo. I’d also guess that the average person whose gaming doesn’t stray much further than casually playing Animal Crossing, Zelda, or Mario doesn’t care nor notice when Nintendo does this sort of thing.
When support stays constant despite changing rhetoric it’s not about the rhetoric.
If they’re inspecting what people are running on GPU instances to report that information back to the US government it’s going to give a lot of people pause for thought. It’s basically violating guarantees that many businesses have with cloud providers.
This rule does, however, effectively regulate the prices that broadband providers charge consumers, as it disallows high-volume customers from being charged a higher periodic rate than lower-volume consumers. If that's not regulating prices, it's not at all clear what might be.

To avoid strain and accuracy requirements, iOS (and I imagine Android) support Accessibility extensions targeting drag motions - See Accessibility/Touch/AssistiveTouch.

It seems fair to have the logical gesture of a drag be provided accessibility support on a per-device basis. To the extent that any UI library is written in terms of underlying mouse clicks and locations, it would interfere with that support. So the real question is whether the UI library support for DnD can be managed using device accessibility.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tim Paterson (born 1 June 1956) is an American computer programmer, best known for creating 86-DOS, an operating system for the Intel 8086. This system emulated the application programming interface (API) of CP/M, which was created by Gary Kildall. 86-DOS later formed the basis of MS-DOS, the most widely used personal computer operating system in the 1980s.

I'm going to recreate something I did a while back, which was to create a vim command/script which would: copy the current selection or line to a specified term window, and hit enter. And then version two, do that, but then copy the contents of the line/selection into a new line.

Basically using vim as an input buffer. With the option to copy the current line- when working systems there was often incremental improvement that I was trying to do, so running then creating a new line was valuable. I probably should just learn how to insert a line offset into the current line though.

What's still missing in both my vim-driven world and in shells is any ability to make references & changes. Ideally I'd like to be able to have lines that interpolate vim registers & more complex expressions. Ideally I want a shell that lets me see my previous raw uninterpolated expressions, that hps me distil out pieces for reuse. The way that history just shows the interpolated version destroys the ability to see what & where I'm borrowing bits of the past that I could be using as hints to re-compose new futures.

I don't think such backlashes amount to anything in 99% of cases. The loss of a few fans is probably outweighed in their mind by the loss of potential future customers if Mario appears in a Skibidi Toilet video or similar. Nintendo has been selling entertainment products since the late 19th century, after authorities there relaxed a long-standing ban on playing cards. Brand integrity and public perception have probably been priority issues for them since their founding.
This goes against the foss ethos but given that foss is ultimately rooted in freedom I think what I will suggest can be reconciled with the primary principle.

I’ve been thinking the only way to truly protect freedom of individuals and of foss development is to have a dual license which is foss unless you deploy it to over 10m users or 10m revenue or belong to list of companies like the eu designated gatekeepers. In that case each project should have the latitude to decide if they will enforce terms if any. Meaning that given the needs of the developers being otherwise met they can always forego any additional requirements

A good wisp can be competitive vs starlink.

The issue is that wisp owners are cowboys, who dont ever follow through with good practices. Their networks, often due to guides like this website, end up riddled with technical debt (Technical debt is usually but not always branded Mikrotik).

Starlink doesnt offer layer 2 services. Starlink doesnt offer half rate backup services. Starlink doesnt offer installation. Starlink can often be very congested.

A wisp operator can:

1. Pull fibre into an area and then distribute it via 60GHz.

2. Pull fibre a bit further away and use decent APs with good MIMO.

3. Use profits from the above to pull fibre closer and ultimately overbuild themselves in areas with enough density

4. Service extrmely deep rural customers who dont have other options.

5. Service MDU's with a reverse model of 60GHz to the building, then fibre to the appt.

What actually happens in practice is that anything more complex than bouncing 5ghz off of a tower is too hard, hiring someone intelligent to do it for them is too expensive and too hard and so small wisps just sell to bigger wisps who sell to fibre carriers or go bust.

But people have argued that it has a negative effect by exacerbating harmful behavior, either self-harm such as in the case of overeating videos ('Mukbangs', as they are called), or harm on the audience or society as a whole--in the inexhaustible need to not only please one's audience, but also one-up earlier stunts in a never-ending chase for virality and metrics.
