In JSON the de facto standard for datetime is (because of JavaScript) very much the Unix msec timestamp (which is always in UTC) so while it's not hardcoded in spec you basically need to be an idiot not to do it like that, and removes one huge headache of XML dates which is timezones.

All nice and dandy, but a coroutine, and doubly so a goroutine, is still a coloured function.

HackerNews is really a bubble sometimes. I don't get who the "many people" that "got used to macOS" are.

Apple had fiery fest of sales in Q4 2021, outsold all Wintel manufacturers, let alone Chromebooks. And after that, guess what, they now have 8% of desktop/laptop market share, instead of 6% they used to have. You can guess who covers most of the other 90+ percent.

So XFCe == GNOME and LXDE is GNOME or KDE, depending on which version we're talking about?

UI toolkit doesn't equal a desktop environment. There is tons of stuff in the GNOME ecosystem (some of which it will make a lot of sense for System76 to reuse, no doubt) that can be entirely ignored when you're using GTK to, essentially, draw your UI widgets for you.

I am perfectly content with how things are now.

I still collect things I care about, I have tons of FLACs (some ripped from my CDs, some bought online) from artists that are meaningful to me and whose music is significant in my view.

I'm still grateful for Youtube and Deezer (I hate Spotify's UX so I'm never there) for providing me access to music I wouldn't necessarily collect, but I'm now also not at will of some radio DJ when I want that kind of ephemeral music in my life.

Open Cycling Maps combines OSM data with open source topo data and works really well. The gold standard for digital hiker is a gpx track made by experienced mountaineer, on top of OCM.

Between that, satellite imagery and offline capabilities of a modern phone and a hiking app that supports these formats you're all set.

The reason that you should have a topo map and compass, and know how to use them is that your battery cannot be expected to serve you throughout a multi-day hiking/camping trip.

What a way to avoid dealing with actual arguments.

Btw we don't.

Most law breaking in entrepreneurship is usually finable misdemeanours. Like 99.99% of it. We don't call those people criminals.

They're probably a native speaker of gramatically gendered language (like German, most Slavic languages etc).

It is also a frustrating experience to endure reloads on every click if what the user is using feels like a web application and you're essentially placing that burden of reducing the interaction roundtrip time on your infrastructure which gets expensive really really fast.

Most web-thingies are neither 100% plain websites nor 100% plain webapps, most are in the middle, some are heavily leaning on one side or the other.

I've only used Vue SSR / Nuxt this way, so there might be a fundamental difference in the implementation, but hydration process in it isn't blocking, and whether or not it's slow greatly depends on how heavy your webapp is.

The page that he browser is hit with has ALL the content pre-rendered (sans CSS) in that first HTTP HTML response, and it behaves like a classical webpage henceforth until the moment that the interactivity bits are being hydrated which is deferred.

I concur that it's still a bad idea to use SSR SPAs for use-cases where a non-dynamic HTML page would work decently well, and there are ways to pack some of these frameworks (Vue in particular) so that it's a JS dependency of an otherwise functional webste (i.e. progressive degradation) for a lot of the in-between use-cases, but when what you're building is heavily leaning towards being essentially a web application (say, an e-commerce site, webmail client etc) then SSR is certainly the most viable option for a decent user experience that isn't full reloads on every click, but also doesn't take ages to become interactive.

WIPO / Berne rules are guidelines. Not even in the Western Europe which aims for "feature parity" with US copyright laws are things the same (case in point: treatment of copyright and patent ownership of things invented while employed, yet not at work or in relation to work).

So they simply do not apply even broadly to a case that was processed in China, especially not in the level of deep US-centric scrutiny you applied to it.

That said, I don't see any of the "multiple test" this ruling fails. It has simply posited that verbatim copying of the article published on one website to another website without prior agreement is still copyright infringement, regardless of the fact that the article itself was generated by software/AI. Nothing more, nothing less.

I find it hard to imagine that a court in any other country would rule any differently.

The fact that this industry turned to a proprietary low-quality solution like Slack when Riot/Matrix have already existed tells the full story about what a bunch of incompetent idiots we all are.

Everyone frustrated with the new Slack input box deserves what they got. Me included.

People growing up in western society have become so egocentric it's absurd. We've finally made it, we're incompatible with what human society has been for thousands of years and to some extent still is in Asia -- "discipline" has finaly become the biggest cuss-word and the most horrible thing ever.

Sure, the world doesn't need more people, you certainly don't NEED kids but come on.

The key reasons boil down to "you'll have more responsibilities, it's hard work, and will need to share your life with other people and not make it all about you". You even somehow managed to utter "the company you founded" in that same sentence.

Having done both, I'd say raising children is actually lot like starting a company, just requires a lot more discipline and is more stressful. It would happen that I tried to do both at the same time, and both are hard work, you pile on responsibilities, reduce hobbies and "me time" and become responsible for other people's lives in the process and in both you're essentially fucked without strong willpower and discipline. I wasn't good enough to do both at the same time so I sold off and left the company and got a well paying 9-5.

Btw the ticket out of the "children situation" for man-children (and sorry but you managed to paint yourself as one) also exists, it's not impossibly hard and, assuming you'd do your fair share of obligations, could possibly even benefit your wife and kid(s).

I too hated the lack of "me time", don't get me wrong. I had a hobby I was deeply passionate about and really got back to it (and still fairly infrequently) only when my kids were well into school age. I also gained about 12 kg (some 25 pounds) that it took me years of gym, running and mountaineering more-less just to halve and I don't really go down from there (tho my "build quality" did improve :) ). I've also halved my learning rate in things, had to rearrange my priorities and generally "streamline" my career in many ways.

But here's the other side of it. Had I not become a parent I'd probably have fucked up my business. Neither of the issues were me not having enough time -- most were not knowing enough, not being man enough and not being mature enough. The children might have hindered my speed of improving in the first thing but have made me surmount a Mont Everest in the latter two -- which I don't feel that I would be able to (short of some traumatic experience). I'm much more confident as a man than I would ever be without having them and knowing them.

Also children return on that investment of time, nerves and forgoing with (at least in that age between two/three and puberty) unreserved love you'll never witness (and I've had dogs and kitties so, no, sorry, no contest there really), and later, with slowly becoming men (well, people, It's just that I have two boys) and although much of their accomplishment has fuckall to do with you, you can't help but be filled with pride.

I regret a thing or two in my life, but having them was the best damn thing that ever happened to me.

Good luck doing code reviews with a distributed team using that.
