My asthma flares up everytime I go to Bangalore, forget Delhi. There is merit to this idea.

Might be because BJP is a right-wing nationalist party.

Is it common practice now to take open source techniques and ship them as proprietary software? I'm seeing a lot of Photoshop tools which I just saw in Two Minute Papers a couple months ago...

Pretty sure this is optical flow

Almost all 3D softwares have ways to write shaders with node based programming. If that is how this is being posed, there is nothing special to this.

At this point it's not innovation, just American politics.

I don't see anyone asking for professional knitters on Etsy

Exactly. It is more lucrative to provide a product for free and make money mining data rather than providing a paid product, and this is even making it harder for competitors to enter the market and not die instantly. The next logical step is not paid products, but rather open source ones with distribued data storage.

I would love to see some sources on this.

Hypnotism is banned in UK television. Advertisment is not that far off from hypnotism, and needs to face similar consequences. Promote your product all you want, but don't exploit human pyscology to manipulate people into doing what you want.

Just manually encrypt everything and you're good lol

Linode, DigitalOcean, or a $200 used server from EBay. Both Linode and DO also have really good Kubernetes services. AWS and alike force users to stick to their ecosystem of products, and come with all sorts of weird pricing models. And if you really need some sort of serverless features or BaaS, you can just self-host that on a VPS.

I see where the SDL author is coming from, but is it really that hard to get local GitLab instance running? Or even just using GitLab? I saw other replies about how GitHub has a network of open source developers, but that didn't bother the SDL author before, and I don't see why it is bothering him now.

Pacman FTW

I used to think Google was the "good guy" by providing so many resources for free, but I've realized how they've exploited their market dominance by essentially manipulating the masses with their ad service. We need to move away from conglomerates and start using software that doesn't sell your soul to the devil.

Code doesn't make sense, weird ass abstraction, but works beautifully. I never could understand where the dependency injection parameters came from lmao

I was thinking of using Markdown and Git for a static website (not a blog). Is this a good idea?

HN ain't that big

Forward to all your indian uncles

The only part Godot is currently lacking in is 3D, but I'm sure it'll come to AAA level in the next few years.

If there is a big economic downfall and the government tries to play trickle down bs again I'm sure the populace would be enraged.

I just think it's really hypocritical of the government to advocate for freedom when they're literally making the market less free. The only markets to be regulated should be the ones that would otherwise be in market failure, like medicine.

I just realized, now that you said this, that the doors may not be the only parts with gaps

Peer-to-peer communication with sparsely decentralized data storage is the answer.

If you look at it that way, then what Facebook was advocating for starts to look noble. They wanted ultimate transparency so that if anyone said anything stupid, it would get instantly knocked down, preventing the spread of misinformation, but obviously they failed really badly.

Zuckerberg should've failed at FaceMash, but here we are.

> Isn't there a `made in India` alternative trying to get into that ?

Ok here's my proposed solution: 1. Be Indian 2. Create rebranded fork of Signal 3. Give it an Indian name and call it "Made in India" 4. ??? 5. Profit

How is it that human brains can follow deterministic logic but neural networks can't? What's the missing piece? Is it just that people are a lot more complex than algorithms like GPT-3?

Well then how would I make my ametuer rockets?

In India, we got water from groundwater, which was over polluted with minerals, so we bought an RO filter. It's basically a must there, and all the other houses I visited there had one. If we don't fix water pollution here, we will have a similar situation on our hands.
