No he doesn't.

WP Engine is profiting off of wordpress, not their trademark, the same as countless other consultants and service providers, and perfectly allowed even if no other companies were doing the same thing.

They are controlled by vcs and don't give back much, if you don't count things that could be argued to be self-serving marketing, like hosting conventions. But so what?

If you require that someone give ypu something in return for your software, then it's not open source. Just charge for it honetsly.

He has no moral high ground by several different angles. Both because he has no right to get what he's complaining abput not getting, and he's wildly abusing his position in a public non-profit organization to extort a competitor to benefit his for-profit company.

> There are literally hundreds of news sites, and many thousands if individual sites, submitted to HN and making the front page annually. It would cost a fortune, not merely a small one, to subscribe to all of these.

No one has the time to read all of them, so it doesn't really matter if it would also be unaffordable.
"A bit" is imprecise for the adjustment. I'd say more than a bit.

It also suggests that if you dice it up by sector you might get different amounts of decoupling, which makes logical sense given productivity gains aren't equally spread.
I just don't see 10% remaining a big deal while solar continues its exponential cost reduction. Solar does not consume fuel, so when local supply exceeds local demand the cost of incremental production drops to approximately zero. Nobody's undercutting zero, even with 10% losses.

IMO, this is what 'winning' looks like.

Matt Mullenweg and the WordPress debacle – we told you so, you f***ing fools
You are confused. The implementation error is most likely an intentional backdoor that got discovered and reported, and they had to fix, but not too seriously. Except it got found out and reported again.

Remember when apple had their own JRE implementation (forked from sun's) and they were fixing well known vulnerabilities after months rather than hours like sun was doing?

> Apple is one of the few trying to protect the privacy of their users with technology.

Their privacy protecting effort starts and end inside their marketing department. No engineering employee is involved in that. And judging by your posts, it seems their strategy is working great, and they can also mine your data and for money like everyone else as well, while convincing you otherwise.

same year for me. I have such fond memories of those few years where you could just scour through university FTPs and websites for hours, finding so much cool (and informative) stuff. It felt like getting a peek into so many worlds I knew nothing about, and it felt limitless (especially as I was a kid at the time). Indeed, the openness and "generosity" of people online in those days set such a good example for me, that I try to "pay forward" in my daily actions and work.
> I'm just trying to absorb everything

My realization on this: teachers were a really bad fit for me. Having a human trying to make it palatable to me in real time in their own words was just not great. At some point I stopped listening in class nor taking notes and just read the manual and other related books on my own, at my own pace (often during class), and it worked a hundred times better.

There's still the issue of having to be in the classroom, which meant doing that whole learning process ahead of time to be able to defocus and still somewhat react to questions and activities going on in the classroom.

Except the two are not mutually exclusive, and TFA points out that tax and price incentives tend to be successful. I would take anything from Pielke with a grain of salt. As much as he loves to pay lip service to supporting the most minor climate policies, he notoriously downplays the effects of climate change. But that's just par for the course to be on the AEI payroll, I suppose.
I just started coding in Go professionally over a year now. So far, that's the pattern that I'm seeing as well. I'm not really a fan. Some common answers on why to not use a lib is because it's trivial to rollout your own.

I like Go as a language but not so much on the community because of the reasons above. I just don't want to implement cache/cron for the n-th time again. I'd rather spending more time on building a new product instead, which is not the case when I'm using Go.

The logical thing is to place the solar panels where sun shines for more than 1/3 of the year. Additional considerations: DCs are never at 100% utilization,and the hyperscalers won't keep up with their current pace of investment in AI for the next 5-10 years - they will gladly push the power generation CapEx risk onto someone else (existing utilities), and let the taxpayers take the fall.
I thought this was a great, insightful comment, but noodling over it a little more made me think it's not just content producers who are responsible for this "quality vacuousness" epidemic.

I think this is just partly an inevitable consequence of going from "content scarcity" to our new normal of "content obesity" over the past 20 years or so. In this new era of an overwhelming amount of content, it's just natural to compare it all against each other, e.g. to essentially "optimize" it to the "best" form, but in doing that we've fallen into a homogeneity, and the resulting lack of variation is an actual lowering of quality in and of itself.

2 examples to explain what I mean:

1. I find that nearly all interior design (at least within broad styles) looks basically the same to me now. It's all got that "minimalist, muted tones but with a touch of organic coziness and one or two pops of color" look to it. Honestly, I don't know how interior designers even exist today, when it's trivial to go to Houzz or any of a million websites and say "yes, like this". A while back I was complaining online somewhere that I thought all interior design looked similar where in the past there was much more interesting variation, and somebody insightful replied that it's not really that interior design is now just the same, it's that it's really just converged. People can easily see and compare a million designs against each other, so there is much less of a chance for that green shag carpet to even get a moment in the sun.

2. I was recently on vacation and decided I wanted to read a "classic" book, so I read Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises (I'm not sure why I never had to read that in high school). Nearly throughout the entire book I couldn't help but thinking "Is there any time this book stops sucking?" I hated the entire thing - it was like being forced to watch someone's vacation photos for twelve hours straight, and I kept wondering why there never seemed to be any attempt to actually make me give a shit about any of the characters in the book, as nearly every one of them I found insufferable and wondered how they each had about 3 or 4 livers to spare. But I do understand that Hemingway's writing style was unique and original at the time, and that he was doing something new and interesting that influenced American literature for a long time. But these days, given the flood of content, it feels like most attempts at doing something "new and interesting" are not only forced, but nearly impossible given that there are a million other people also trying to do new and interesting things that now have the means to disseminate them. I don't think a book like The Sun Also Rises, where I believe the main impact was the style of writing/dialogue vs the actual story, could ever break through today.

I guess my point with this long post is that I think the "loss of quality" in content that many of us sense is just a direct result of there being so much content that we see variations from the "ideal" as worse, where in the past we may have found them interesting.

Over the last few months I built and am still adding onto https://www.promptcompress.com which is the best prompt compression tool in the market offering multiple compression techniques which can be used together or separately. It provides analysis of the compressed prompts' accuracy impact which is utterly and frustratingly lacking from every other prompt compression tool. It's free to use for now. Considering adding support for using different LLM backends with it. Not sure if I want to bother with trying to monetize it so may just open source it and let users provide their own API keys in the future.
Hmmm, not sure I buy the argument.

“Refactor while you do new features” works sometimes, but doesn’t work on anything larger scale - e.g. if your overall architecture is collapsing under its own weight, it’s hard to “sneak in” the sort of major work you need to do to fix it.
Look, for starters, the stuff we're talking about covers a pretty broad spectrum. Your framing of the question about "intentionally missing" stuff suggests that you're interested in transparency-style data: data that gives you insight into the operations of the government body. And yes, if you are looking for data that might reflect poorly on the organisation, an open data portal is generally not the place to go for it.

This HN item for instance, is not about that kind of data. The datasets in question tell you about the transport network, the services, the patronage, the history, all kinds of interesting stuff.

So I find it "weird" that you would respond to a good-faith effort of sharing tons of information about a public transport network with this hostile approach of disparaging open data portals, and advocating instead an approach which is extremely resource-intensive for government bodies, when it's completely uncalled for.

Yeah, if you want to investigate a government cover-up, or shine light on some terrible mismanagement of resources, go for your life and submit FOI requests. Your mention of having filed thousands of FOI requests suggests you have consumed many tens of thousands of hours of public servants' time, and I really hope the results justify it.
Fact is, government run public health does look at numbers at the end of the day. A medicine that increases "value" (however you define that) more than it costs is more likely to get gov funding.

Turning away from the elephant in the room because it is "vile" doesn't help anyone and just entrenches the status quo.

The idea is that if you're a highly experienced senior developer, it should feel oddly familiar. It aims to address every possible concern that a senior developer might have when building a web application.

Avoiding footguns is one of the core principles behind it.

It aims to strike the ideal balance between flexibility and simplicity. It's not for building rough prototypes; it lets you build apps that are more secure, more performant, more scalable and more maintainable than the ones you would write from scratch.

Look at how mathematicians build minimal yet complete definitions for inspiration. An algebraic system can be created with a set of operations such as multiplication and addition, and existing concepts can be mapped to this system, such as money, but the underlying algebraic system will never change. It is complete.

Much of the system can be complete like this with forethought. The pieces that cannot can be factored out to the edges.

> users can patch it out relatively easily.

This applies to the situation where the users are programmers. And I am a programmer. But I have never and probably never will modify any open-source applications I may be using. Too much work. Some library-code perhaps but not a full application (like VSCode).

Too easy to cause more errors rather than fixing them, creating a dependency to my own modifications. When it becomes time to upgrade to the next version of such OS software I will need to merge my modifications to the official app or library, and there is no guarantee that my modification would be compatible with the latest version of the said software. If it is not compatible that means either more work for me, or that I can't upgrade.

Why moved to luma
I've imagined this future, and I did think of one possible workaround that may or may not be feasible: morse code. One of my motives for learning it is, you can "copy" morse code by any of your senses except taste. I've imagined where I may be blind, or deaf, or even both. As long as I have the sense of touch somewhere about my body at the bare minimum, and can move a finger, I could communicate via morse code. I know it sounds kinda stupid, but it's comforting to know I have that "last resort option" in my back pocket.

I'm using xrdp for a long time now and did not have many issues with it. The following may be a problem:

- If you are trying to login on the machine AND remotely at the same time, this might be hard to do

- If you are trying to do audio or printing over the wire (play sounds or print remotely), also a pain

- If you need it to look fancy or customize the look and feel of the login window, this also might be hard to do

What I like about it e.g. over GNOME's integrated RDP feature is, (yes, it is really integrated via Wayland) that you can go from power off to successful login without jumping through hoops and it just works. I did not try KRdp[4] for KDE Plasma yet.

There is also an installer script[1], that is able to solve some of the problems, but I would first try to install it manually, because the script does a lot of stuff that is not really needed any more. There is also a stack overflow post about this[2], but it my case, it was just enough to

apt install xrdp

done. If you are willing to try a "more modern" approach, you could try

RustDesk [3]

but I never felt the need to try. I also don't know if RustDesk can go from power off to remote login without having a logged in user in the first place. I'm going to try this in the near future.

> It wouldn't surprise me if Itanium actually had pretty compelling SPECint numbers.

This was one of the more confusing things about Itanium. It's specifications on paper were really impressive. It had crazy high benchmark results (SPEC, Linpack, etc) compared to similarly clocked competing chips. If real world code behaved like those benchmarks Itanium would have blown other chips out of the water.

I don't know if I've ever seen real-world tests showing the Itanium getting anywhere near the performance of its benchmarks. Intel was also charging a huge premium for the privilege.
Fundamentally, this mindset and flaw in the definition is why open source can't prevail. Because open source is absolutely committed to being unsustainable.
