> It's just weird how the conversation shifted to portraying Automattic as a leach or a bad maintainer and WPengine as a victim

WPEngine are adults, they can (and are) taking care of themselves.

But sorry, if you start using your position as CEO of Automattic, and President of WPF to:

- push rants forcibly into the dashboards of your for-profit offering's commercial competitors

- lock users of a competitor out of a whole raft of functionality because of your beef with their provider

- break users sites in the name of effectively hostage-taking a plugin

Then what else are you but a "bad maintainer"?

> as a leach [sic]

Matt doesn't want WPE's "revenue-sharing" license agreement to go to the community, the project, or the Foundation, though, he wants it to go to himself, via his private, for profit competitor. That's easily described as leeching.

> is basically marketing (visibility at WordPress events)

Well, given that at these recent events they've given money, been banned from attending and had all references to their name removed, I think their contributions are valid.

Also "that doesn't count, it's just marketing", yes, marketing dollars that they are contributing to the community to make the cost to the rest of the community in hosting events less. You sound like Matt here, "Well, yes, they contribute, but not in the way I tell them to, and in the amount I tell them to, so it's not reallllly a contribution."
Backrest is great. It makes it very easy to configure restic backups and do the restores.
Lenses seem to be a functional pattern that groups getters and setters into composable functions.

Consider pair(a, b) with first(pair) and rest(pair). I can define first-lens and rest-lens for [get-first, set-first] and [get-rest, set-rest] respectively. I could use them as simple getter/setter groupings with lens-view(rest-lens, pair) or lens-set(first-lens, 4, pair), which isn't so useful by itself, or I can compose then to get third-lens with lens-compose(rest-lens, first-lens), allowing me to lens-set(third-lens, 7, pair) without a nested call.

I just tried to summarize what I could read [1] [2] [3] and I don't claim to entirely understand it, but it's still better than the sibling comment dismissing it as abstract nonsense.

Maybe - $20k is a bit steep, but I would certainly pay a large premium to have my housework done without needing to employ a stranger to actually work in my home.
sqlite is a work of absolute genius. But every once in awhile something comes along to remind us how weird its software background is. Fossil. The build system. The TCL test harness. And now this, a quixotic attempt to break 50+ years of text formatting and network protocols.

Yes CRLF is dumb. No, replacing it is not realistic.
Boeing is publicly funded though, which means crazy incentives take over that are out of whack.
It's why they use paper tickets most of the time.

The man in question personally has more wealth than many nations, co-opted one of the most popular American social media networks in the country and is a massive hypocrite when it comes to free speech.

Musk isn't just some guy near your cubicle complaining about Mexican cooks.
I had a meeting with him (as a customer) in probably 2007. Super unassuming and humble guy. I had no idea who he was during the meeting until after, when I saw him get in his car with an XMODEM license plate and googled him and found the connection. RIP, Ward.
Why humanly shaped, you ask?

Drop-in compatibility with all human-shaped legacy interfaces, for the most-rapid deprecation of homo sapiens as soon as the ASI can teleoperate humanoid proxies.
Was it a small difference from the spec, like an off by one error might be, or was it an order of magnitude difference that might point to it being significant and intentional? (Of course dropped 0 could also be a bug). That’s a fairly important detail for a claim like this.
I think the argument against moderate drinking, and it is not a particularly strong one, is that is hard to remain moderate, not that moderate drinking per se is dangerous. I think your grandfather would be deemed a teetotaler by today's standard.

"moderate drinking" today is considered having a few glass of wines per week and you need really good discipline not to go from there to less moderate drinking.
To be fair, after the ban expired, I started submitting the test cases as instructed and the community was very helpful under these constraints.
No need. Just convince the king (e.g. Google for HTTP) to make a tweak in the next standard version.
Twitter is not Musk. It may be executing his vision, but it's a team of thousands of skilled and hard-working people, all eager to work on a Sunday for a chance to create a propaganda arm of Trump party.
fsync doesn't work here right because unix pipes are in memory?
I've had luck elsewhere with nodejs and WriteableStreams that refuse to flush their buffers before a process.exit() using fsync on the underlying file descriptors.
Yeah, but even without fuel the booster weighs 200 tons. It's pretty wild to have 200 tons of steel incoming at supersonic speed, then nailing a gentle pinpoint landing like that !
Teleop is used already in these applications. But a human form factor is not required.
I don’t think the lack of a payment system was the cause of failure.

Every GPT has such a low cost to replicate that any novel idea gets cloned into oblivion almost instantly.

You see the same thing in mobile app stores, but the cost of making an app far exceeds the cost of making a clone GPT.

The whole idea of custom GPTs (read: a prompt) is what failed.

So I mean, no I don’t really think it’s valuable.
> I charge my materials to the business (tax expense) and give the customer a small discount (say 10%) if they pay in cash. Assuming a 30% tax rate it means I can make for tax purposes my income less and my expenses more.

> A lot of money is earned by mutual favors rather than monetary transfers especially in renovations/etc. e.g. I will do the plumbing for your house, and mine, you can do the concrete slab for both houses and we will call it square. Trades people typically know other trades people and a lot of the property can be built that way. No money exchanged, no tax paid.

Indeed, cheating on your taxes can leave you with extra after- (instead-of-?) tax cash in your pocket.
I agree with the semantics, but restrict usage to the very narrow case where the variable has no other use than to convey a value from a visible outer scope to a visible inner scope, where both together are less than a few lines. In that case I prefer the single character over a longer name precisely because it is clearer.

Note that x,y,z don’t really qualify as abbreviations since they are the full name of the component, so they can be used when the outer scope is not visible — eg as a parameter.
It is a standard line ending. ANSI X3.4-1968 says:

10 LF (Line Feed). A format effector that advances the active position to the same character position on the next line. (Also applicable to display devices.) Where appropriate, this character may have the meaning “New Line” (NL), a format effector that advances the active position to the first character position on the next line. Use of the NL convention requires agreement between sender and recipient of data.

Maybe that's a meme, but obviously I'm not saying that.

The problem is that people watch these videos and it's all ELON ELON ELON. Most of them don't even know Shotwell's name.
I suspect it was meant tongue in cheek, I had a good chuckle with it when I read it.
That seems like way too long an article for a non-enthusiast.
Most of the world's 8+ billion people managed to go through the last months without shaking down a competitor, preventing users for receiving security updates, conducting a harassment campaign, or destroying an ecosystem because they feel like it. That's not just a mistake. He deserves contempt, firing, and a substantial fine at the very least.
Ask HN: How have you changed the way you use command line command(s) recently?
In my case, I've started using rsync instead of cp to copy directories because you can use its --delete option to replace an existing directory, like how the macOS Finder behaves when copying.
A rocket a day keeps the cost away.
I’m really confused by this argument. How does it account for the Apostle Paul?
I wish these weren't so unobtanium... I've been slowly gathering sources and information in the hopes of maybe writing a book about the Lisp Machines, and as part of that I'd like to spend time hands-on with the real hardware, but it's hard and expensive to find the damn things.
Some brothers can have different mothers or fathers.

As the origins of Colon were unknown his real family relationships were also unknown. He toke a lot of measures to hide their identity including lying about it. The scientists did DNA tests to Italians with surname Colomb and discovered an unexpected amount of variability (Those people weren't related).

It seems that Colomb (Pigeon?) was a surname applied on Italy for children without parents, so was shared by different people without a real genetic relationship. John "Snow" style. This means also that it was also the perfect surname that somebody wanting to hide their past would chose. This way he could just pretend that didn't knew about his family when interrogated by Kings and powerful people. Refusing to answer otherwise would be extremely dangerous.
In text, the singular vowels are built on the ah syllable with modifying marks.
Actually if you are in place like the UK or northern Europe it is very much not considered fashionable or virtuous to stop drinking even today. For example whenever you go out in a work event, people would look at you almost suspiciously if you mention you don't drink or order juice.
You could use MS Word of Photoshop if you want, we couldn't care less.

We're not talking here about a mere text editor, we're discussing a Lisp machine with level of extensibility and programmability deeply ingrained into its design, something that Vim or Sublime or any other traditional text editor can never achieve.
The thing that takes this into scam territory for me is Elon’s comments that “we started with a person in a robot suit and improved dramatically year after year, so if you extrapolate this we’re going to have something extraordinary.”

This statement is deliberately worded to avoid making a promise because Elon knows it is effectively a big fat lie. To date Tesla have solved the same problems that others have already solved. You can’t extrapolate progress because what comes next are the really hard problems that no one has solved. Even if Tesla is able solve those problems, there is zero chance that they can move at the same speed. They have 50% of an autonomous robot, but the next half is going to take 90% of the effort.

This is the usual smoke and mirrors. Elon shows off a tech demo using incremental gains and falsely represents how long it will take them to deliver on a revolutionary product.
He is a salesman that always over promises but still does some cool stuff.

>Just not how Musk describes it.

Every innovative mission needs someone pushing people to do the impossible. That being said, every company trying to accomplish the impossible needs an adult in the room to ground that visionary.

In the case of Space-X, there's an adult in the room. Elon's direct input at Space-X almost set the entire Starship project back a year by insisting on trying a concrete launch pad that all of his engineers told him would fail (and it did). After that failure he appeared to get so distracted by Twitter that Shotwell could point the engineers in a more effective direction.

In the case of Tesla, there unfortunately is not. Elon's direct input resulted in canning a low-cost model in favor of a "robo-taxi" that is 100% dependent on full self driving using nothing but cameras. That's pretty obviously not going to be viable with any existing technology. An adult in the room would've told him to either stick with the low-cost model to compete with incoming Chinese imports, or use Lidar so that there's a viable self-driving vehicle that can be sold sometime in the next decade...
A quick google seems that is not the case

But I am sure big pharma will be funding studies against Achohol consumption, to increase pills consumption

Also most drug and vaccine studies are done directly by the manufacturers
Because robots shaped for their environment are old news, to the point that most of them aren't even called robots. If you want to wow people and have them feel a connection to your robot you have to make it at least resemble a mammal. Even better if it resembles a human.

There's also the other argument about humanoid robots doing better in environments adapted to humans. But that's so far that hasn't really panned out.
Seems like every article that sings the financial praises of blue collar "tradesman" work fails to make this distinction. You don't become a millionaire being a plumber. You become a millionaire by owning a plumbing business. Those are two totally different things.
> It's hard to understand how overfishing, overhunting, and habitat destruction have destroyed ecosystems.

I like to bring up the sad example of Passenger Pigeons, since they're a species someone in North America could imagine seeing--or even having a hard time avoiding--walking around in daily life at one time, yet they disappeared relatively recently, even leaving a strange linguistic hole because many people have still heard of "Carrier" pigeons.

The rocket equation implies that if you want to maximize the delta-v a rocket gets out of a certain amount of fuel, then you should get the dry mass as close to zero as possible. Eliminating landing legs helps a lot.
Why do we _have to_ keep bringing this legacy baggage with us for the next decades though?

Allowing CRFL-less operation intentionally, especially in new implementations. Abusing protocol tolerance is (just a bit) to switch current ones. Should allow relatively gradual progress towards Less Legacy:tm: with basically no cost.

Not every change is "breaking your back" especially if you should be updating your systems anyways to implement other, larger and more important changes.
Tesla would've needed to claim that they were not being remotely operated, which AFAIK they did not do.
> Contractors get to choose when they work.

Definitely not true of software contractors.
Does anyone besides poorly designed Unix tools and Git actually get confused by any of this? I configure my editor to just use LF on whatever OS to appease Linux and configure Git to never mess with them. And in dealing with serial protocols, it's never an issue.
One unique aspect of HHKB keyboards(except Studio) is that they don't use independent key switches used by most of its followers, because it was designed as just a keyboard by existing computer manufacturer(PFU under Fujitsu) unlike its followers.

The differences are subtle, but HHKB feels neater than most of its competitors to me, and I think all-integral design is the reason why - key spacing, stroke, overall packaging are ever so slightly better.

Too bad that there is no justification for anyone to do Lite models anymore. Lite2 was all I needed. It even sounds like HHKB over calls at ~1/8th price.

“Advanced Tortious Interference”
Hey everyone, I'm Eyal, a LibreOffice project volunteer who does a lot of QA regarding Right-to-Left and Complex-Text-Layout scripts (= written languages). I want to thank thunderbong3 for posting a link to that post - and heartily thank Jonathan Clark, the new RTL-CTL-CJK-focused developer at The Document Foundation, who implemented the performance improvement for Tibetan.

Most bugs we encounter and report in LibreOffice are more general, and aren't script specific (e.g. code which forgets that the content may be right-to-left resulting in wrong behavior in those cases); and a lot of the script-specific bugs are about the most popular script, which is Arabic (that is also used for Farsi, Urdu, Javanese etc.)

But we do have some issues regarding less-commonly-used scripts,
like Tibetan or Mongolian. Here:

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115607

is the meta-bug which tracks issues with: Mongolian, Tibetan, Uyghur, Zhuang,Kazak, Xibo, Dai, Yi, Miao, Jingpo, Lisu, Lahu, Wa, etc.

We don't know if there are really very few issues specific to those languages (which is quite possible), or whether it's just that they're not used so much and the users aren't motivated enough to file bugs.

Still, as Jonathan's recent fix demonstrates, there is certainly the interest to address them when developer-time-resources become available.

I would like to encourage everyone who cares about these scripts, and "document editing fairness" across countries and cultures, to consider:

1. Try using LibreOffice with such languages which you know at least a little bit of - and if you find any bugs, file them at our BugZilla: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/

2. Consider supproting The Document Foundation, which manages the LibreOffice project, financially:

https://www.libreoffice.org/donate/

We are one of the larger FOSS projects in the world, with tens of Millions of regular users (if not > 100 Million) and a board of trustees with members from dozens of countries; but - we don't have large corporations investing money nor time in the project. While a few commercial companies do contribute to LibreOffice (like Collabora and Allotropia) - many fundamental issues are not close enough to their customers' needs - which is why it was decided to hire Jonathan directly to give RTL-CTL-CJK support a boost. Individual user donations are what enables this work.
Elon's companies actually have a track record of solving the hard problems that take 90% of the effort, so that doesn't seem like a lie at all.

From what I've read a significant contributor to that congestion is routers using too much power. A router in the middle of an 800 ft^2 one bedroom apartment in a dense apartment complex doesn't need anywhere near as much power to cover the whole apartment as does a router at one end of an 2200 ft^2 4 bedroom ranch style house in a suburb.

Out of the box most consumer WiFi routers will be configured for high power and most consumers won't even know that it is something they can change. Even if someone does know about it lowering it will probably make things worse for them unless their neighbors also lower their power.

Maybe consumer WiFi routers should also include some kind of long range low bandwidth communication method, such as LoRa, to find and communicate with surrounding routers to build a map of the routers in a general area (not necessarily a spatial map [1]) and then agree on power levels and channel assignments to avoid interfering.

[1] it would be a map of how they relate by WiFi signal strength rather than how they relate in space. So a two routers that are a couple meters apart but on opposite sides of a wall that nearly completely blocks WiFi radio frequencies would be far apart on the radio map despite being very close together spatially.
Right, but why did that break? As far as I can tell that part hasn't been touched in the hostile takeover.

Thanks for your comment. No, I haven't explored schools yet, and honestly, it wasn't something I had considered.

Could you explain how the U.S. school system works in this context? For example, can I reach out to public schools and ask them to share our product with their students if they find it helpful? Or are you referring to setting up an affiliate program with the schools?

I also have a few ideas for affiliate programs myself, but I'm holding off on them until we can refine the product further. We want to make it even more engaging and fun for kids, adding more words and expanding the vocabulary.
It’s very clear that the talent that made Tesla great and gave the company the headstart is clearly gone.

One thing that the stock market investors don’t realize yet is that CEOs are not the most important part of the company.

The same “Shit of Theseus” phenomenon happens with companies like Blizzard which talent remains only in name and brand recognition, peharps would not be best to move on from expecting things from a brand name that constantly misses the mark.
