Least unstable js project

Real life is not SimCity, you can't just plonk more RAM factories like that. It takes an ungodly amount of capital investment, many years before you see a cent in return, plus there's only a couple firms worldwide that can do it in the first place.

Oh come on... "Chronological feed of your friend's posts" and "algorithmic mix of your follows, paid content, and shit optimised to keep you engaged" are two VERY different beasts. This is why Facebook of 2008 is different from Facebook/instagram/etc of 2026, not because the people or communities were somehow different.

Once Facebook removed "chronological" as a feed option I was less engaged. I couldn't connect with my people meaningfully anymore.

I don't even see most of my friends posts until a few weeks later. It completely kills any way to meaningfully keep up with them via Facebook.

Lots and lots of thinly disguised ads, though.


You know what they say: there are only two industries now, fraud and gambling.

It's probably the AI overuse introducing many of those bugs in the first place...

I can’t help but think that, Apple is big on AI and their software seems to be going to hell too.

Apple software was crap long before AI. Most people just were blinded by semitransparent interface (pun intended) and marketing fluff.

It's not all bad though. We also managed to turn the Information Superhighway of the 1990s into the Slop Wasteland of the 2020s.

> On average, the German study, which looked at nearly 40,000 people in total, found that parents who had at least one child under six years old reported sleeping about seven hours per night. Non-parents received just 10 minutes more sleep per night, for women, and 14 minutes more per night, for men.

I'll trade 15 minutes of sleep for a lifetime of joy, thank you :)


> on average

Not sure where are those lucky ones, but I've met half a dozen parents that became literal zombies during the first years because of a lack of sleep. From what they've reported, 2 hours is a lucky night. It does get better later on, after 2(!) years.


I have five children and find this very difficult to believe. Even the "worst" of it (age 0-3 months) was never anything close to that bad.

My neighbors' first kid had colic and they said the baby slept for at most 20 minutes at a time the first year.

So yea I imagine that'll turn you into a zombie.

They also said after a year they got a tip about a chiropractor (IIRC), went there and after 5 minutes the colic was gone. A real mix of emotions they said...


None of your kids had colic? Every caretaker (experienced parents) that tried to releive us completely lost their mind within hours. And it never ends, for months.

Both of my kids woke up their mom 2 to 4 times at night to feed for at least a year. One was a terrible sleeper, only 8 hours max per night, he still basically goes to sleep when the adults do and wakes up when the adults wake up. Sometimes before.

My second screamed every night for two years. It was fun.

A person's definition of a 'lifetime of joy' may exclude caring for children.

A lifetime is a long time. Much longer than children are children.

> A lifetime is a long time.

By all accounts it is not.


There's a lesson there then, isn't there? Use GPL

The GPL has no effect on this issue. For service providers like AWS, who provide the service not the software, the GPL doesn't require them to do anything differently than with more permissive licenses.

++

I think the GPL has become somewhat obsolete because of this causing it create to completely nonsensical scenarios. For instance I can't comply with the GPL and add vanilla Stockfish (the currently strongest chess engine, licensed under GPL) to a chess app released on the Apple store, yet somebody can slightly modify the engine, keep all those modifications proprietary, and sell access to the engine on the same App store, without source access, so long as the computer is done through a middle-man server instead of being done locally.

The GPL no longer suffices to maintain the spirit of intent of the GPL. Like a peer comment mentioned it seems (??) that AGPL is their update to resolve this.


Some courts [which?] have read things into open source licenses that aren't actually there, usually on the side of the user because that's obviously what the people who wrote the licenses intended. It's not impossible that GPL could force Amazon to give out their software.

AGPL, it is implied.

AGPLv3 does.

*AGPL

Use AGPL or SSPL or make a better worded version of SSPL

It's really no surprise: it's a game that was pre-installed on hundreds of millions of computers. That's it. For people of a certain age it's very very likely they have played it, at least a bit.

It's completely nonsensical too. Why would a parser for an alternative syntax introduce a GC?!
