Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

Wouldn’t it be better to release your photos under one of the Creative Commons licenses (other than cc0) if you don’t want those companies to profit of them?

With those licenses they’ll at least have to add the copyright notice. You could even disallow commercial use while giving other users the freedom to do with them as they please.

That wouldn't fit with the other options though. They are all about what you are currently doing, not what you have done. The current options are mutually exclusive, your new suggestion can be combined with all the other options.

Would banishing yourself to Western Sahara for the rest of your life be that much better than spending a decade in some low security prison?

Twitter changed their Developer Agreement yesterday, the main change is that it now includes this:

> You will not or attempt to (and will not allow others to) ...c) use or access the Licensed Materials to create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter Applications;

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34448524

I think the real problem here is the way it happened. Apps just stopped working about a week ago. There was no communication from Twitter whatsoever until this TOS change, and I wouldn't really call this "communication either"

It might make sense to stop supporting third party clients, but announce that something like that will happen instead of doing it unannounced and then ignoring all questions about it. It's their API, so they can do with it whatever they want, but this is really a dick move.

It makes sense that explaining why xml is great doesn’t work. Maybe you can convince someone who’s never worked with xml. But if someone has used xml and thinks it’s a bad format based on those experiences, you’ll need to bring _really_ good arguments to let them think it’s a good format anyway.

Just ask yourself: could a comment here convince you that xml is a bad format? If not, why would the opposite work?

No, it doesn't. Custom manager attributes go between the two:

```

The order of model inner classes and standard methods should be as follows (noting that these are not all required):

    All database fields
    Custom manager attributes
    class Meta
    def __str__()
    def save()
    def get_absolute_url()
    Any custom methods

```

And that guideline is not really a general guideline of how to make Django projects, but contributing to Django itself. It might make sense to keep that convention for projects build in Django, but that doesn't make this a style guide for those projects.

Mac Nano, if they follow the same naming convention as with the small iPods.

Or they’ll save the Nano name for a iPhone-sized Mac.

Their tagline is “ Git with a cup of tea” so I assume it’s pronounced like the words git and tea, but without repeating the T.

Some context from one of the replies to that tweet:

> This is a graph of CPU utilization for the web services that power PyPI. Today we upgraded from 3.10 to 3.11 and saw a significant and correlated drop in CPU usage -- nearly half.

>

> The CPython team has been putting a lot of effort into improving performance recently and it shows!

I don't think it's up to 10 weeks, but $20k if you participate in the entire program. 0 if you don't.

I think calling this “distasteful” is pretty dumb. it’s a website that has offered a free service for decades. If I wanted to glue some glass to metal, I wouldn’t want to which ratio of certain ingredients I’d need. That would just result in me having to check the description of dozens of packages in a shop, while I would forget the names of those ingredients as soon as I’d bought the glue and I have no idea what the effect of a different ratio will be. I’d be just a bunch of useless information, while knowing which product I need to buy is providing a service people actually use.

Too bad that it’s not super useful for people who don’t live in the US, but you can’t make everyone happy.

> Well, they payed for this text to be included in the game (for further distribution, obviously).

They paid for the deal they agreed on as described in that first email. We don’t know the contents of that email, so it’s impossible for us to know if it they agreed on just including the poem in the game, transfer of copyright or anything else.

> And eventually Carl threatened to dump me, and get someone else in to write the ending, if I didn’t wrap up the negotiations that day and take his first offer. I was stunned, I didn’t understand what was happening, and so I said, OK, I’ll take whatever the first thing you offered was. The friendship is more important than the money.

If you’re the only one using it and you’ve got at least two cups, you could place an empty cup each time you remove a full cup.

The way they communicate is better too. Both companies increased their prices in the past year. DigitalOcean announced[0] theirs in an article that mainly focused on a new cheaper droplet supplemented by lots of useless text about how they “ adapt our offerings to meet the needs of our customers and their desire to create software that changes the world.”

The link to the page with the new prices didn’t have some overview of the changes, and figuring out how much more I was going to pay was frustratingly hard.

Hetzner’s article[1] just clearly explained why they increased their prices and had a table with the new prices.

I really appreciate that no-bs way of communicating.

I think they've realized that by now...

Not in the entire EU, I can access it from The Netherlands. I don’t think the EU ever blocks any websites, because thats up to each country individually.

They did a pretty good job in persuading people to use search, adsense, YouTube, Gmail, Maps and a bunch of other products. Singling out a few couple of the less successful ones to claim a trillion dollar company is “clumsy at persuading people to use their products” seems like a pretty bad take.

I like that attitude, it’s the hardware version of “why spend 5 minutes to do something manually, when you can spend 30 minutes to write a script that does the task?”

According to the article, the problems are that "Conventional oysters are known to carry risks of foodborne illness and are currently threatened by overharvesting and pollution."

They don't link to any source though.

Automatic translation of the article with Google Translate:

"Unicorn" status

Cologne-based translation start-up DeepL is worth a billion dollars

A German platform has been competing with Google Translate for some time. The young company has now completed a new round of financing and is regarded as the first "unicorn" from Cologne.

The online translation service DeepL from Cologne is valued at one billion dollars (960 million euros) after a new round of financing. This was reported on Thursday by the “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger”, citing information from the company environment. DeepL is thus the first "unicorn" from the cathedral city.

The financiers of the financing round include the US investors IVP and Bessemer and the European venture capitalist Atomico, as "Business Insider" initially reported. It was initially unclear how many shares the companies would take over. DeepL did not respond to a request as of Thursday afternoon. A »unicorn« is a term used to describe start-ups with a market valuation of more than one billion US dollars.

DeepL started in Cologne in 2017 and now employs around 400 people. The website deepl.com with the translation service is one of the hundred most visited sites worldwide. DeepL says it has achieved exceptional machine translation quality with improvements in neural network mathematics and methodology, and is up to six times more accurate than other providers.

Even in independent tests, DeepL overshadowed established providers such as Google Translate. However, Google supports 133 languages, DeepL only 29. DeepL translates up to 5,000 characters and up to three documents per month for free - unlimited and other features require a subscription.

Are you planning to combine it with other info? Your smartwatch already knows how long you've slept, getting that info directly to your database seems more efficient and less error prone. The same goes for the amount of money you've spend, if your bank allows you to export that info it'll save you a step. Your bank doesn't know what you've bought, only the total cost, time and shop, but if you scan and upload your receipts and use ocr you'll have a detailed record of that too.

And you could also keep track of your location, so you know where you had a conversation or at what gas station you spend 250,000

It does, but if you use the build in synchronization, your notes will by synchronized as (optionally encrypted) files. I think using syncthing would be possible if you make Joplin synchronize to a local directory, and use syncthing to sync that directory.

You can create a template for your daily/weekly..etc notes via the templates plugin[0]. And I don't use them myself, but it looks like there are plugins for automatic backlinks[1] and embedding other notes[2] as well

I don't think that's what Hotz is saying at all, but he's saying that he's not person for the job anymore.

He writes: "My two part blog post from 2019 remains a true description of the space."

And this is a quote from (part two of) that blog.[0]

> Nobody will have cars without a safety driver in cities anytime soon. Self driving appears to be like fusion, but instead of being perpetually 50 years away, it’s perpetually 5 years away. It’s 5 years away because that’s what the marketing departments are told, but the truth is finally leaking out. It’s going to be decades before robotaxis are profitable, and these companies are burning way too hot to last decades.

Python has a 12 month release schedule[0], so 3.14.0 should be released in October 2025. Of the python 3 versions, only 3.6 and 3.7 got to .15, about 4 and 5 years after their releases[1]. But 3.9.14 was released last month, less than two years after it's initial release. So somewhere between 2027 and 2030?

What does "doesn't work" mean here, and who learns that lesson?

E-mail is decentralized, but every now and then a hn post pops up, complaining about how you can't run your own email server these days. Billions of people don't use email for personal communication, but use centralized apps like WhatsApp and many businesses do the same with WhatsApp, Slack and similar apps.

To me it looks like running a centralized service works really well for companies like Meta and Google and the fast majority of people pick those services over something else. I don't think many people will change their mind about this because of one outage.
