First, most users are indeed finding open source software by searching around by keyword and assessing top hits on their own. Most developers don't have a sense of how to promote their project effectively if they wanted to. Marketing of any sort only plays a role in the most high profile projects, many of which are commercially sponsored.

Second, even where a developer puts some legwork into letting the world know what they've shared, that effort is within the context of the project's license terms which almost universally make it explicit and clear that they profer no such obligation.

Tweeting "I made this thing, check it out!" does not soemhow absolve the user from reading the license on that thing and understanding that no promises are made.
Comparing an EV with a Suburban… what a read.

One doesn’t have to go to the other extreme of transportation paradigms to solve the issues you had though. In Europe they tow campers with regular cars that in the US one wouldn’t even think about. Like a Jetta towing a camper.
A Corolla hybrid solves all your issues and is probably cheaper to own than the Tesla in the long run.
“The FUTO license does not allow for the freedom to view, modify, and distribute the software's source code. It allows it for certain groups and activities but that is the same as not allowing it.”

The FUTO license allows all these things but with the limitation that it not be for the purposes of:

A/ subverting the original code’s payment terms if any, or

B/ commercializing the software as a licensee without payment to the licensor

This is in clear violation of the terms of an open source license under the open-source definition (OSD)TM of the OSI.

However it does not violate the original definition of the term open source as coined by Christine Peterson who specifically did not apply any commercialization constraints in either direction in order to remain non-political.

She simply claimed the term "open source" was intended to highlight the importance of making source code available for use, modification, and distribution without the political connotations of "free software"

The constraints against limiting commercialization were introduced by the OSI in their definition, in my opinion based on influence from their closed-source big tech financial sponsors.
Is all Braille identical? No equivalent of typeface where the dots are shaped of spaced differently, but in the same Braille pattern?
a repository of markdown files with a custom viewing software that supports the syntax and renders it for readability or acts as a wysiwyg editor would work well: I do this personally, with Obsidian.md, where my vault directory is a git repository. a hosted web interface should be able to do something similar.
Personal gripe, but there are a gazillion note taking tools, but very few of them do real-time collab.

Me and my partner currently use Apple Notes for this, simple stuff like grocery lists, todo lists, etc. But Apple Notes perf is abysmal with real-time collab. The app constantly hangs and fans are spinning non-stop. iOS is not much better.

That's already happening, and getting published. Recently read an awful tech book that was obviously generated by an LLM, it was so bad that I reached out to the publisher, who assured me that this was just the author's style, and that they promised no LLMs were involved. All lies, of course.

Apparently publishing awful books can somehow generate revenue.

Rust FSM-based Resumable Postgres tasks
- FSM-based - each task is a granular state machine
- Resumable - on error, after you fix the step logic or the external world, the task is able to pick up where it stopped
- Postgres - a single table is enough to handle task scheduling, state transitions, and error processing
Filtering, search, summarization, reranking, and security protection (pishing, data leaks) - the necessary functionality adds up

> When you provide software that is widely used and that people rely on, you automatically created a community where fixing bugs is an obligation.

if you measure the solubilities of some salts and publish them, and your data is widely used and people rely on it, do you therefore have an obligation to repeat your experiments to make them more precise and correct erroneous measurements, and to extend them to more salts? i think not; i do think you have some ethical obligations, but they are limited to admitting that you were wrong, and not taking credit for others' work

if the users of your work start talking to each other and helping each other, they might become a community, but that still doesn't impose an obligation on you to do more work for them. to my way of thinking, you're the person in that situation with the least ethical obligations
Yeah, as a supervisor for bachelor, master and PhD students there are some benefits; like I can go in and comment on their thesis report directly.

However, I feel it comes short is when there are several people working on a paper; at least I haven’t found a way to easily see my co-authors changes/diff. Hence, when I write papers with my students I prefer that we use GitHub directly. This makes it easy to split specific changes into commits and even use pull requests for larger edits. Of course, it requires some knowledge of git, but my students (should) have this knowledge being CS students :-)

I’m also not a fan of browser-based editors, but Overleaf’s editor has gotten a bit better since I first used it.

No, I think it's important to keep pointing out what this decision was really about. They didn't hear a case about camping outside at night, they explicitly heard a case about making it illegal to be homeless in a jurisdiction. All of the most relevant arguments related specifically to homeless people.

The effect on homeless people is not some unintended consequence of the original law or of the SC's decision. It was explicitly what the whole case was about: homeless people complained that a law forbidding them from sleeping outside in a municipality was effectively punishing them for being homeless, and a federal judge agreed. The SC also agreed, but found that this doesn't violate their constitutional rights, so that it is constitutionally allowed to punish them for being homeless.

This is an exact illustration of the famous satirical quote about the law being equal to all, equally punishing the rich and the poor for sleeping under bridges. Only this time it's not satire, it's the explicit decision of the SC.
Why do courts do stupid things like this. It's easy to distribute a HOSTS file with the same information. Are they going to forbid that too?

The only people inconvenienced by this will be those who were only casually interested anyway.
Claiming that a single institution that is has open source in it’s name but benefits from having it’s primary source of revenue come from closed-source big tech software companies is very suspect.

These source-available licenses that limit one’s ability to commercialize are specifically designed to prevent big tech oligopolies from exploiting open source without payning, something they are notorious for doing.

Regardless, her original definition did not weigh in either way on the ability to commercialize, specifically to avoid a political battle.

As such the FUTO license is a valid open source license under the original definition, but not on the OZzi’s definition.
Docker sounds about right for Latex given its gazillion dependencies with multiple alternatives and choices for several of those. I haven't really needed or used it in many years but it always was a bit of a beast to install. Early Linux in the nineties of course came with convenient package management that somewhat hides this. But dealing with e.g. windows or mac setups exposes a bit more that it's quite a bit of cruft that is getting installed.
Whilst important, it certainly wouldn't be the top of my list of things to tackle when getting a project off the ground
You assume that the server already knows the key though?

The assumption was that it is the first time they connect. Which if so would mean that the key was configured out of band, but if we add that possibility you can do the TOFU out of band as well.

Yes, it is more common to transfer keys out of band - but it is getting a bit contrived.
The DAs decide whether to pursue a specific case, but it's the police department that starts the case, not the DA. The DA is not out there patrolling the streets finding people in violation and deciding whether to call the cops. The cops patrol, find a person they don't like, take them to the station, and then the DA can decide whether to charge them with a crime or not.

Any data requirement in the above list that is public knowledge can be solved (in principle), but it takes coordination between parties that are not used to collaborative/coopetitive behavior.

There is also the bit of data cleaning work that is costly - somebody must be paid to design and operate it, but again with modern tech solutions its likely that this could become immaterial.

Yet there is broader challenge beyond concrete applications: the financial industry is 100% an information processing industry but is largely inconsequential and absent in the development of modern digital technology.
That’s not the point. It’s an observation of how Google’s lost its status amongst hackers. It’s well into its transition into becoming the next IBM.
Wouldn't that be the majority of people? In their eyes, that's good enough and considered mission accomplished... kinda hard to argue with that IMO.
Piggybacking to ask: I'd love to pay like a $100 to a person with disabilities to use my website for a couple of hours and shit on the experience. Has anyone ever done this? Is there a service you've used and have been happy with?

My exerience with automated tools has been less than stellar. Oh, an image has an alt tag? Congrats, it's accessible, even if that alt tag literally just says "alt tag". I also don't think "simply turn on accessibility features yourself" is a proper solution. It feels like there's a massive difference between me using such tools for the the purpose of testing one website and someone actually relying on such tools.

This statement is factually incorrect. The OSI didn’t even exist when the term was invented by Christine Peterson on February 3rd, 1998.

It is true that she was looking for a term to replace “free software” with something more akin to free speech than free beer but she specifically avoided adding any constraints either way on limitations for licensees to commercialize works in order to remain non-political.

Notably the inventor of the term has never been a part of the Open Source Initiative and the term Open Source pre-dates the oSI.

Ok, I admit I was bristling a bit at the “it's really quite simple” tone.

FWIW, here’s my actual view on this: there’s a great episode of the Oxide and Friends podcast where Brian & co. talk to Kelsey Hightower about Hashicorp changing the Terraform license to exclude a lot of companies in the TF ecosystem—the ultimate “we’re the maintainers we can do what we want” move. Kelsey has maintained many open source projects and understands the importance of maintainers having freedom to focus their energy where they see fit regardless of what the peanut gallery thinks.

His view, which I agree with, is that what is ultimately needed is upfront clarity from maintainers about how they’re going to govern the project. If you want to have complete control over your project and ignore bugs and pull requests as you see fit, and users need to accept the software as it is, that is fine and good, but put it in the README so that prospective users know what they’re getting into. If you want to have a community-driven governance structure where people have a path to getting involved and steering the project, like Kubernetes, that’s good too and you should lay all that out for users too. What Terraform did, where they cultivated community engagement in order to have this plugin ecosystem and then rug pulled those plugin authors by changing the license, “poisoned the well of open source” (his words) by giving the impression that OSS is inherently fickle and serious teams should be hesitant to use it because maintainers can and will break things carelessly. I worry that comments like the OP’s reinforce this impression.

Professionally, I am one of the developers of Pachyderm, which is an open-source version control and data pipelining tool.
No it's fundamentally not true because when you say "most likely" it's the highest value output of the model, not what's most likely either in the underlying data or the goal of what is being trained for.
If "implementing AI" means implementing yet another chatbot, I'm happy they are not using it. One of the banks I use, just added a chatbot as default option when you contact support: I'm planning to move to another bank. When I have a real problem I want to speak with a human, not with a bot. I do use AI stuff for other tasks, but I don't want it to replace real customer support.
I loved to read this: “genuinely proud of”… as a professor I read a lot of thesis reports (bachelor and master) for grading them, and many of them can’t honestly be proud of their reports. I wish more students would be more curious to learn how to prepare nice looking documents.
Are you confusing ruby with rails? DHH created the latter, not the former.
Easier to explain with coin flips. Let’s say we do 100 flips - we know the “most likely” thing to happen is 50 heads and 50 tails. The actual probability of that is C(100, 50) / 2^100 = 0.079.

So about an 8% chance. You’re significantly more likely (ie 92% chance) to see _something else_. And that’s _the most_ likely outcome.

So tldr - it’s not so much that “you never see an all tails sequence in practice” - you’re actually unlikely to see any particular sequence. All the probabilities get astonishingly low very quickly.

> What code? I interpreted that as "all the following code", which feels like an entirely reasonable interpretation to me.

It is. As long as you define "all following code" as the code that would execute from that point forward. If you define "following" as simply the code in the rest of the file then doesn't really make sense in this context I don't why you would mean that.

Obviously the existence of catch statements allows the program to continue from that point but none of that code is following from where the error was (unless you call it again).

> At best your definition is only the very very very beginning of a longer conversation; it doesn't give enough information on its own.

If you want me to write an essay on this, I have actually already written one. But I still think this definition is a good one. It is simple but that's what makes it useful. The entire subject of error handling cannot be distilled into a single sentence definition and that is not what I intended to do.
The video plays fine on both, yes, but the Windows laptop, generally speaking, gets hotter, and runs out of battery sooner.
Nobody is ignoring AI.

There has been unprecedented budget spend allocated for AI in the enterprise.

The results so far have been poor where apart from customer service there hasn't been any game changing use cases to justify the hype. There just isn't that much you can do with an inauditable black box that is consistently wrong 5-10% of the time and depends on high quality input data.

And most enterprises have been doing ML/DS for years and so have already have tackled low hanging fruit using NLP etc.

Shame? Shame? People genuinely disagree with living under an administrative state comprised of unelected career bureaucrats coming and going through a revolving door to the corporations they regulate as they please. Isn't a complete remaking of the administrative state a progressive cause? I thought the goal of democracy was living in a system administered by those we elect?
I think it makes sense to learn about it early and do a11y as much by design as possible. I think a universal design approach will help anyone. Many power users will appreciate good keyboard only navigation as a side effect. With a bit of a11y knowledge you might be able to catch a lot of low hanging fruits.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the legal system.

Yes. I don't qualify for Voluntary Assisted Dying though. If I ever need it I can take stronger measures, using simple science and engineering. I did have a cardiologist suggest that if he was me he'd refuse getting implant upgrades and fixes, which was sobering.

Chronic pain changes you, and rarely for the better. It's nigh impossible for someone who hasn't had to deal with 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for months or years on end pain that's up on the extreme end of the scale. We try to hide it, to protect our families and loved ones for what we live, but sometimes it's too much.

Suicide is natures' rational solution to unending torment. Christian teachings and traditions try to say that suffering is holy, and it is righteous to endure. How come it makes people into assholes then?

Between knowing I have the option, and the amazing power of venlafaxine, I do not need to either fixate on or commit suicide though. At least for a while now.

I will never judge anyone who intentionally kills themselves as I don't know how painful their reality was.
I linked for the duplicate, which you probably should have checked for.

I guess it also shows how popular this topic is considering both have zero comments on the content. No point in posting dupes if no one is going to discuss the actual post.
Yep. They just see a life to save, and will do everything they can to achieve it. It get's worse with a rare disease, as they want to be in the paper about it.
Any successful enough open source project will develop a community around itself, but it's true that this isn't a kind of community where democracy works or should be expected to be implemented. And, as DHH put it, that's fine.
