Meet the 74-year-old and his daughter running one of the U.K.'s fastest growing TV channels - by hand
  • Wow. I was today years old when I learnt about the "echo". The anti-Semitic world is weird. Incidentally trying to find out what the three parentheses meant with a search engine was impossible, I ended up having a very nice chat with my friend GPT.

  • Why Linux is Best for Most People
  • That's quite a high bar. Can you give a Windows or Mac laptop to your elderly neighbour and not also provide them support?

    I realise that I am only a sample set of one and my mother and father have very different usage patterns but they are both in their late 70s. My mother has an Ubuntu laptop and my father had a Windows one. He requires a lot more support. My mum's biggest issue is forgetting her password which is hardly the fault of the OS.

    Edit: to be clear I'm not necessarily agreeing with the OP. I have no opinion on the needs of "most users".

  • calendar rule
  • I really like it because in order to keep the days of the week aligning that holiday must be a special non day of the week. It would lead to conversations like. "What day of the week is it?" "It isn't"

    Silicon Valley's "effective altruism" and "effective accelerationism" only give a thin philosophical veneer to the industry's same old impulses.

    People killing each other
  • Atheists aren't exactly immune to the killing either. The Soviet Union has the elimination of organised religion as one of it's goals. I think humans just seem to like killing other humans and differences in beliefs is a handy excuse.

  • Use your database to power state machines
  • I don't understand why the most_recent field is needed. Surely the most recent state can be derived from the order field and the unique constraint on it can prevent concurrency issues if the previous sequence is taken before the state change. The benefit would be that the transition history table could then be append only.

  • Terraform, Vault, Nomad etc by HashiCorp moving away from Open Source
  • The integrations with other services are implemented in plugins which are separate programs, that are installed separately, and communicate with the core over RPC. I would imagine these plugins can continue to be licensed however their owners choose. I think this license change just applies to core.

  • Any professionals that work with algorithmic systems able to help out?
  • What exactly do you mean by an algorithmic system? Your introduction to the form implies you have a pretty broad definition. If that is the case then I think you should also account for a large proportion of your target not being sure that they are actually what you're looking for. Define your terms. Give examples of what you determine inside the definition and examples of what you determine outside of it.

    All that said, I think the research area sounds really interesting. I look forward to hearing how it goes.
