OP: A single giveaway just popped up on SteamGifts today:

Is this you?


Nope.


Ethically sourced "spare" human bodies could revolutionize the market for unethically sourced "spare" human bodies ...


Have the feeling that cheaper unethically sourced bodies would be the majority of the market, if ever usage of "spare" bodies were to happen.


Many states in the US switched from opt-in to opt-out for organ donation. Usually we get upset about such tactics, but this change seems to have been widely supported even though it is a form of coercion and has informed consent issues.


Quite a tangent, but what if we apply this logic of informed consent to property? If a person without a will dies, should we leave their house abandoned until it decomposes? Automatic organ donation is like probate for bodies.


Indeed this is one of the big considerations of adoption or organ donation. Both revolutionized their respective markets: trafficking and involuntary organ trade. To say nothing of abortion and gay marriage - two much desired things in the US which nonetheless revolutionized the market for unethical embryo termination and involuntary marriage.


How did gay marriage revolutionise the market for involuntary marriage?


Kinda like prostitution where it has been legalized, in which the availability of ethically sourced human bodies (i.e., from licensed brothels) drives up the demand for unethically sourced bodies (sex trafficking).


Source for this claim?


Like Jevons' paradox?


They already did this in conflict zones.

It's funny how people strech the definition of things. But hey, if it worked for HD it shall work for everything.


My god that post is a hot mess - I regret reading it


Roboto Mono for me - Off to see if its on NerdFonts ...

Can I (yet) just press tab and have it inspect my PATH variable for completable items?

That is literally the only reason I gave up on it.


Love this!

Also for those interested in auto-moving chess boards, see the Go Chess project:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gochess-most-powerful-che...

It takes a different approach: 1-4 "robots" under the board moving pieces around - with the goal of being able to reset the board or setup a position super-quick!


Am I missing something or do you have to make a decision without being provided a single example of an upper-case character?

The idea is great, thanks for sharing! But att I don't feel it provides enough sample data to really make an informed decision.


I can confirm your suspicions — what I saw was syntax-highlighted code.


The best thing we can do for the future of the project is to NOT engage with the project at this time ... Even just cloning the project into your private workspace to review / compile is giving more engagement than their current licensing stance warrants.

I'll check again when an HN post comes out stating they've changed their licensing stance - Until then, closing this tab and forgetting about it ...


The author justin frankel (also wrote reaper the DAW absolute legend) had this to say about it

> Question: Now that WinAMP's source has been officially released, do you have any desire to hack new badass features in?

Answer: If I did have any desire, it would be extinguished by the license terms, lol. The terms are completely absurd in the way they are written, e.g. "You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software." So arguably making any changes would be considered "creating a forked version." But even taking these terms as they are likely intended (which is slightly more permissive than how they are written), they are terrible. No thank you.


where is this quote from?


Looks like it's from his "Ask Justin Frankel" website: https://www.askjf.com/index.php?q=7357s


So my morning routine is:

* Pee

* Weigh (naked)

* Perform morning routine

* Pee

* Weigh (naked)

My old scale had 0.2 lb granularity and certainly repeated the previous value if you stepped in it again within some certain time.

My new scale (Etekcity) is 0.1 granularity and often comes in at 0.1 or 0.2 lbs less on the 2nd weight in.


So I can run orbstack and then still use "docker run ..." etc commands like usual?

I'm pretty happy with docker desktop generally, but looks like it stopped updating for the version of osx I'm using on my 2019 intel mbpro, so I'll definitely consider alternatives for it there ...

Thanks for sharing !


Yes. The same docker commands, including docker-compose, all still work.

It just sets a new "docker context" that points to OrbStack's socket file instead. You can instantly switch back to Docker Desktop with a simple `docker context use desktop-linux` command. So it's nearly zero cost to just try it out.

  $ docker context ls
  NAME         DESCRIPTION                               DOCKER ENDPOINT
  default      Current DOCKER_HOST based configuration   unix:///var/run/docker.sock
  orbstack *   OrbStack                                  unix:///Users/mdeeks/.orbstack/run/docker.sock

OrbStack had the most noticeable difference for our users who were still on Intel Macbooks. It made mine stop spinning up fans randomly.


Rancher Desktop is free, supports Mac OS 10.15.7, and provides a much nicer Kubernetes distribution out-of-the-box compared to Docker Desktop.

https://rancherdesktop.io/

It also provides the Docker CLI and nearly the same features as Docker Desktop. In fact, some Docker Desktop extensions can run on Rancher Desktop.

Do note Rancher Desktop is more oriented for Kubernetes, so most of the GUI is for managing the Kubernetes cluster rather than individual containers.
