This project is much younger and used by many fewer people than Hy, so I couldn't really speak to this besides my own opinions. The few who have started using it and contributing seem to just be using it as a way to write Clojure while interacting with popular Python libraries and tools. Kind of the same way that interacting with the Java ecosystem is often more pleasant from Clojure (IMO) than in Java itself.

I've tried to facilitate strong Python interoperability despite the variety of otherwise incompatible features of each language. It's trivial to work with immutable data structures using Clojure idioms and then convert them to Python data structures (as needed) at the boundaries, but the immutable data structures used by Basilisp are also generally compatible with Python's core (read-only) interfaces so that conversion may also not be necessary if you aren't expecting the called function to perform any mutations.

I work with chemical and materials companies on full stack data capabilities and interactive viz / dashboarding is a recurring pain point. Frequently there are larger scale processes (beyond a single engineer’s or scientist’s scope) that still require scientific-level interactive viz that the likes of PowerBI or Tableau can’t (or won’t?) provide… if your company even has a subscription. Things like being able to dynamically re-group/nest variables and recalculate statistical tests, dual axis capabilities, automatic sig fig number reformatting, just all kinds of quality-of-life features that in some cases are possible but in most cases are considered extreme edge cases and require too much manual config / aren’t templatizable.

Of course on the other end you’ve got the whole Python/matplotlib/seaborn/bokeh/plotly/vega/altair “ecosystem” (although it’s more of a swamp if you ask me), which require someone to maintain Python code and a means to stand up an internal server. Not to mention that most use cases require significant customization. Plotly Dash always seems somewhat promising but as someone below mentioned it’s actually kind of slow? Every time I try it I’m just kind of underwhelmed.

I hear ggplot in R is good but I’ve never used R and it’s hard to get a critical mass of people in a company behind R so that’s kind of off the table.

The only programs that really get the aesthetics of scientific plotting right without a ton of customization are JMP, Origin, and Igor Pro (props if you’ve heard of it), but these are all desktop apps… although JMP is starting to make a push into cloud-hosted stuff.

I guess all that is to say if anyone is interested in starting a company in this space, let me know.
I tried doing this when I worked in the UK government. It is a surprisingly hard problem.

Firstly, lots of OSS doesn't have a well defined owner. So who gets the money?

Do they actually want to take money from the "big bad state"?

Is there a mechanism to pay them? If so, which budget does it come from?

Government spending is heavily scrutinised. Why are we spending money on something that is "free"? What due diligence has been done? Should it be a competitive tender?

It was sometimes possible to get round this. Pay for someone to speak at an internal event, buy a support package, pay for training etc.

Governments (and most large orgs) just aren't set up to pay ad hoc amounts to non-suppliers, who aren't charging money.
The problem with “non commercial” exceptions in FOSS licenses is that there’s no good definition of “non commercial”. Interpretations sometimes includes “anything that involves money / payments” even if that’s just distribution costs, someone’s salary, etc. And even if there’s no money, someone could be profiting indirectly.

I work for a non profit that creates FOSS and we were explicitly prevented from using something published as CC-BY-SA-NC (by the author) because our completely “free to access” “not for profit” project was being developed by employees working for money (paid for by a private foundation).

So what’s “non commercial”? Someone at home by themselves? What happens if they amass online followers and then monetize them somehow? They lose the license retroactively then? Was Linux non commercial when it began? (It should have been) Is it still non commercial? (Many would argue it isn’t).
> a company using the code can audit it and sometimes, depending on the license fix issues for their own use

Presumption that enterprises don't have access to / or fix bugs in proprietary closed-source software of enterprises they depend on is unfounded. iow, source-available (as a way to increase collab and be transparent) is a gimmick.

"Maintaining open source software

Let's talk about everything except for software development. Sometimes the image of a software developer is a person typing, alone, all day long. In most cases, programming consumes less than half your actual work time, even if that's your job description. Some of that is hated busy-work, some of it is social interaction that keeps you sane, some of it is akin to emotional labor.

Technology changes and every project is unique but there are common components to this work, like interacting with people, supporting and critiquing the work of others, and explaining your craft.

Let's find the parts in common and pick ways of expressing them that are both productive and kind."

> But I go further - software is a form of literacy, and everyone should learn to code,

Why though? I've read a lot of people saying _everyone should know how to code_ but why? I don't see the same trend for example with physics, maths or music, which are arguably a form of literacy too. As cool as it may seem on paper, I can imagine everyone being able to write papers on topological quantum field theory, studying homotopy type theory as a hobby and shipping react to-do apps while playing Beethoven's Hammerklavier sonata.
To use your phrase of: You haven't thought through the consequences of this at all. I'll break this down a bit further for you hopefully in a way you can understand.

Don't even have to go further than "You work to provide value in exchange for a store of value; currency."

Work assumes that there is work to be done. If everything is abundant, there is no work to be done because no currency needed. Who makes food? Machines. Who makes the physical infrastructure? Machines. Who generates the power? Machines.

I'm not saying that this is going to happen (I also don't think anything you're saying is going to happen either), and I think the GP was being facetious, but if you are going to take that statement seriously, then I think you do not understand what abundance truly means.
This is so bad : we can measure a country's strength by its weakest link. There are some major loopholes here.
Don't forget that IPv4's link local addresses (169.254.0.0/16) are also randomized for the same reason: making link-local addresses use sequential numbers by default requires a centralized node to coordinate them, which is counteractive because link-local address are designed to not require one.

IPv6's answer to IPv4 private addresses (e.g. 192.168.0.0/16) is ULA (fd00::/16). Newer routers are beginning to assign local hosts with ULA addresses, thus if you want to have a stable address to a local device, you can simply connect to it by ULA.
That high price tag is most often attributed to the type of memory being used which in the H100's case, is HBM2e and error correcting.

I don't understand why this attitude is so prevalent in the tech industry. The person writing the upgrade script knows if upgrades can't support n+2 jumps and it takes about 30s to build in a check:

if(target_version > current_version + 1) // not allowed

It's more work to add it to the docs than it is to put a fail-fast check in the upgrade script, so why put it in the docs where 250k+ admins need to be aware of the limitation and avoid it?

It might be creating 100k hours of waste on the sysadmin side to save 30m of work on the dev side. I just don't get it.

Your second point misses an important fact: the Tesla Model S Plaid set a 7:25 Nurburgring lap time, and the Porsche Taycan did it in 7:07. Both of these lap times are faster than many high-performance ICE cars, and close to GT2/3 times which are just below 7:00.

As you might expect, the technology will continue to evolve, too.
Governments sometimes work around limitations by using private third parties that aren’t bound to them. e.g. if they had to pay to use httpd, they would just start paying a commercial hosting company that exists solely to provide http services to that government.
At the small teams I've worked in, having just a Kanban board as the single source of truth was both more useful and way less stressful than dogmatic Agile. Something like Linear, Github Projects, Airtable, Trello, or (if you must) Jira.

It minimizes the time spent on unnecessary bureaucracy and ceremony, while still giving you the transparency and flexibility behind Agile. Supervisors and such can look at the board and see what the team is working on and what stage they're at. And when emergency things inevitably come up, that's when you pause what you're working on, temporarily put that in the "on hold" column, and work on whatever the new critical priority is before going back to your original work (usually) or else pivoting altogether (which often happens in more top-down orgs).

A Kanban is by nature not prescriptive, but after-the-fact descriptive. It respects people over processes – a fundamental part of the Agile philosophy that too often gets buried in dogma – by respecting each worker's autonomy while also giving the team as a whole flexibility. If you need to change things up, you just send a few messages or do a huddle instead of spending half the day arguing about points and then arguing about them again in the 2-hour retrospective.

In the most dysfunctional orgs I've been a part of, it wasn't really Agile anything or any particular tool that was the problem, it was that they were so middle-management heavy that most of the dev time was spent managing up instead of coding. That isn't a something tooling can in and of itself solve, but I've found that the heaviness of the tooling is often a good proxy for the dysfunction of the management layers. In that case I'd fight to simplify things and make work more efficient, or ask for a transfer to a more efficient team, or just leave the org altogether. When there's that many head chefs in the kitchen, every minor feature becomes a political battleground and no real work will get done, no matter your process.

Well, what's idiotic is expecting collab on a source-available project. There's a reason the community forks or uses OSS instead, as the article notes.

Those of us who have been around for a while — who came up in the era of proprietary software and saw the merciless transition to open source software — know that there’s no way to cross back over the Rubicon.

Open source software companies need to come to grips with that uncomfortable truth: their business model isn’t their community’s problem, and they should please stop trying to make it one. And while they’re at it, it would be great if they could please stop making outlandish threats about the demise of open source; they sound like shrieking proprietary software companies from the 1990s...

It's not so much a capture as a hodgepodge. There are a great many interests, and even in a good faith environment it would be a challenge to get everything right.

Add to that the fact that it's not a good faith environment. There are many forces, not even connected to the industry, who fight to lower prices at any cost. Even if it means finding out too late that you're not actually buying anything at all.

The laws and regulatory environment are "the best compromise people were able to get at the time" rather than any kind of cogent plan.
PCBs and antennas in general are cheaper than glass. I think that's why this is considered special. Also note that they can do UWB and all sorts of other things. It's not like these glass antennas are using a substrate that already exists, they're just mounting something with exposed wires to a semitransparent 1ft/3ft piece of expensive specialty glass. Any change they have to do to the low e windows, they have to do for both.

I've dealt with ghost networks too, with BCBS of CA. They provide you a directory with a thousand options, and I was already planning to go with the first provider that would have me. Had to call 15 before I got one that wasn't out of business, not accepting new patients, or not actually accepting the provider that gave me their number. So I can only assume that roughly 6% of their providers are actually real.

Ask HN: Event and Trend based social media post generation to stay relevant
Hi everyone,

I recently became super active on social media—posting on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram daily. But after just 10 days, I hit a wall… my content ideas dried up.I started noticing that I was missing out on trends I could’ve capitalized on. Between developing my SaaS and staying up to date with trends, I just couldn’t keep up. That’s when I realized this is likely a problem for others too.

So, I'm building "Momentum", a real-world event notifier that lets you make social media posts around that event to help stay ahead without the hassle. The main aim is to take action at the right time.

I’d love to get your thoughts! If you’ve felt this pain, join the waitlist, and let me know if you’d consider paying for something like this. Feel free to roast the idea and the landing page too constructive feedback is super welcome.

From the government's perspective, public highways (in particular the interstate highway system in the U.S.) serve a crucial national security and logistics function. I think this might be the more convincing argument to governments--e.g. you run code in your systems that you do not have control over, and you don't know who is making contributions to it. They could be (and probably are) agents of foreign powers trying to hack you.

But this raises other issues. Let's say you're the US Air Force and you want to sponsor SQLite. I assume because SQLite is everywhere the Air Force runs it in their airplanes, no idea if true. How do you make sure the interests of the developers are aligned with the interests of the Air Force? You probably don't want to accept contributions from foreign nationals, or at least nobody you can't hunt down and prosecute if they do something malicious. You probably also want to vet them with a thorough background check. So they basically have to be employees (or contractors).

If you let your enemies build your highways they'll be hiding antitank mines everywhere. Should we be letting them build our software too? I can't imagine the Air Force, for example, saying "yes". But I could imagine them being quite interested in gaining this kind of control over their infrastructural dependencies.

I don't understand how commenters here can seriously argue this. There should be no UX for "oh this is not supported? Eh give it a shot anyway, I don't care about literally all my files".

It's not like starting up a food truck. A health care operation is vast, and no existing providers are going to break the law and risk losing their licences.

That's a bit facile. For many projects, changing the license from open source to something that's not open source like you are suggesting will cause the project to die. Adoption will drop to indistinguishable from zero and it will lose any hope of achieving critical mass.

Sorry if this sounds ignorant (it is, because I never had a formal CS education), but why are these things important? When I first started learning programming, OOP was all the rage, as was MVC, but it seems like in the last few years, the web dev world has largely moved towards React's "function soup inside HTML templates" model.

I was about to start learning Ruby and Rails for a job, but your post has me curious and also a little worried. "Batteries included" is nice, but does Ruby force you into a particular coding style/paradigm, and is that going to cause any readability/maintainability issues, especially when paired with a JSX frontend?
