Hi reasonattim- thanks, I didn't know these initiatives. They are great. Actually, after the motivation to find a solution for hard to fund medical research, which is an obvious heartache, I noticed that very very few researchers campaign- my hypothesis was they were intimidated by the campaigning and not comfortable on mainstream platforms. So we address that, we support the campaigning and have a specialised platform that reflects the medical world with regard to the peer-review for example. For sure Indiegogo is open to everybody and would welcome research projects. Do you have more thoughts or feedback?

It certainly is positive for the ability to create new free software. It is negative for the ability to control other people's actions through copyleft licenses, since the same ability to create new free software also allows creating new permissive licensed or commercial software rather than adhering to the copyleft terms.

Agreed. As a point of practicality I can't think of anyone whose created 'commercial' open source who depends on copyright protection 'of the API' for their commercial elements though, can you?

It feels like the OSS ecosystem has always concluded that creating drop-in replacements using API's are 'fair use'.

> the managers, who optimize for things like getting features out more quickly, things that are effective at doing what companies seek: make money

Which works great until the day you wake up to realize your code base has become an incomprehensible mess and your engineering systems are outdated and your competitors are shipping better software at a faster pace.

I'm not really disagreeing, I'm just saying a balance must be struck. Really hate companies that view anything but feature work as a loss.
If what you have is a "site" (e.g. online newspaper, blog, brochure-ware etc.) don't bother.

If it's a web app, though, consider it, if you have lots of forms, controls, changing parts etc. (If you only have a few simple forms, e.g. a shopping cart + "buy" buttons, you won't really need it either).

Hurst's argument would be somewhat convincing if there were people trying to apply the GPL to prohibit, say, the Windows Subsystem for Linux (or other efforts to make Linux binaries run natively under Windows). I don't think it would be easy to find a consensus that that is appropriate or supported by the law, and indeed, there's been tons of concern that proprietary software copyright holders will try to sue people for writing new interoperable implementations that use the same protocol or API.

Maybe there are some narrower cases involving proprietary Linux kernel modules (which many people have suggested could be improper derived works that constitute copyright infringement of the kernel); there this result might make the infringement argument more difficult.

But as people here have pointed out, almost nobody ever attempts to limit implementation or use of APIs as a "work based on the program" for GPL purposes, almost nobody assumes that would be successful, and almost all uses of the GPL are based on limiting the literal copying of code from one program into another.

I am not an expert on the field. But | means or and ^ means execute.

In the traditional W(rite)|(or)E(xecute) model, the processes can both write and execute instructions in their address space in memory. I might be wrong but I think this could result in security leaks, because you cannot determine what the code evolves into at execution time.

W(rite)^(xor)E(xecute) model doesn't allow the processes to write AND execute instructions at the same time.

The wikipedia page states:

W^X requires using the CS code segment limit as a "line in the sand",
a point in the address space above which execution is not permitted and data is located,
and below which it is allowed and executable pages are placed.

This means using W^X is an improvement for security, but it's hard to adapt to from a technical viewpoint and limits your computer's ability in meta-programming.

> in this modern day and age?

Without addressing the Olympics question directly, that question has 2 common and somewhat overlooked fallacies:

* That a current year has the most importance compared to previous years because of its sequence. If we consider how people have thought about their own current year we can see that they also have thought that their current year has the most importance.

* That progress has happened and that progress always occurs and moves in an upwards direction. I suggest that looking at history can give insights into how progress does not inexorably increase and improve year upon year. Initially it may appear nihilistic or anti-progress, but I believe thinking this way gives humans more insight into maintaining fragile societies and to ensure that our worlds do get better, through hard work, and not through some automatic procedure that works via the passage of years.

I hope this helps answer the question in a more helpful and better way.
My first pancakes 'fail' (no-one minds eating them :) not because of that but because I need to get the feel for the batter spoon in my wrist, get a feel for the cooking time and get a feel in my wrist for the pan & flipping motion.

There's another smart reason to take out insurance: taxes.

Eg my health insurance allows me to spend 300 bucks per year on new glasses. Why don't they just cancel this and make the health insurance 300 bucks cheaper? Because my employer buys the insurance with pre-tax money, I presume.
I see and understand your point about reading quantity over quality. On the other hand, I also get paranoid about reflexively telling people to rtfm.

As my anecdote, I was trying to learn a new framework last month and team into what should have been a trivial problem. I spent days scavenging through the docs and finding nothing. Finally, I gave up and went to stackoverflow, where some other poor soul had asked my question before and been given -10 for their troubles.

The question had several comments about hours the site has deteriorated with questions from people too lazy to read the docs. Thankfully, there was one answer that explained the solution (the framework authors had overloaded a non-intuitive operator to handle this functionality) and a link to the homepage of the documentation with an admonition to read that before posting to stackoverflow.

In the month since, I still haven't encountered a single reference to that behaviour in the docs, despite referring to then quite regularly.
Extremely impressive, props!

Some parts of its novely actually give me sort of a TempleOS feel, I suppose because it feels/looks so "different". I really loved watching the Senseye video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=294&v=WBsv9IJpkD...), though it's something that I suppose could be made in other environments as well. The translators reminded me of edlib by Neil Brown: http://blog.neil.brown.name/2015/07/edlib-because-one-more-e... (http://blog.neil.brown.name/), there's a cool video of edlib somewhere as well. Although the concept of separate views on the same underlying data is not novel, it's a shame such things aren't widely available (or in use) that I know of.

Despite being a fan of statically typed languages, of all scripting languages I like Lua the best. The language is lean but powerful and LuaJIT is a coders' dream. I don't understand whether one would be forced to create all "apps" (appls?) in Lua.

If that's all it does, then it's not very impressive. You can trivially create a program that finds nearby Chinese restaurants with open parking and WiFi that's kid friendly, by creating a table of all such establishments and their "nearby" locations.

Just throwing percentiles in the air like that says nothing and makes the whole thing appear not a little dodgy.

A similar anti-CSRF measure is implemented in some application frameworks by default. For example, When performing XHR requests in AngularJS, "the $http service reads a token from a cookie (by default, XSRF-TOKEN) and sets it as an HTTP header (X-XSRF-TOKEN). Since only JavaScript that runs on your domain could read the cookie, your server can be assured that the XHR came from JavaScript running on your domain. The header will not be set for cross-domain requests."

Reference: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http

This is an effective approach because unless an attacker has already compromised the relevant cookie, they will be unable to spoof the X-XSRF-TOKEN header in a cross-origin request. On the server-side, you just need to validate that (a) the X-XSRF-TOKEN header was sent and (b) it contains the expected value for each HTTP request received.

'Persian' rug is used as a generic term for hand knotted rugs of certain design - not just those from Iran. Oriental rug would be more accurate term (and is used). Most rugs of this type are made in Pakistan, India and Afghanistan.
This might be just my perception, but persian rugs always seem to be on a great sale. Special price, only for you, my special friend etc. I have a big aversion to buying a rug, because the whole process feels like I'm being swindled.

That's just designer nods to earlier work/aesthetics, and happen all the time in industrial (and graphic) design.

Especially since we're talking about 20 and 50 year old designs at the time -- it's not like copying this year's hot product to sell a cheap imitation. Totally different era, totally different functionality, totally different devices -- but borrowing the old visual style.

The magic of Apple is the functionality and thinking behind their devices. There are tons of same looking competitor devices that get it wrong.

E.g. the whole idea behind the unibody design is not the seam-less look, it's the sturdiness and tolerance of the materia. Competitors copy the overall look and color, but leave out both the seam-lessness AND the sturdiness.

Or take touches like the mag safe port, the touch trackpad, the no-button trackpad, the first to come out with the hi-dpi display -- plus the thinking that goes into ensuring good battery life, small weight, and thinness along with said sturdiness. Competitors often leave out one or more of these -- which are all important for a laptop.

Where Apple fails, OTOH, is their occasional cheapness, still selling embarrassing starter configurations (memory, disk-size wise). Of course if they do sell these, and buyers have no problem, kudos to them, but one would expect more, since that's too is part of the whole experience, even if the buyer thinks 128 GB SSD is good for them.

I think there is a difference between senile decay, and the fact that when you are getting older, you have witnessed the fragility of life in ways that most teenagers luckily have not.

I think my empathy is growing as I'm getting older.

I am aware that some people just hardens up or getting more or less traumatized if they experience really traumatic events or periods and I don't think it is that useful to look at war-like events as it kind of go outside a useful scale, but in personal tragedies a lot of people people seems to go softer.

Maybe you have to learn empathy. There are many signs that says it's at least partially so.

Any BSD kernel drivers for this?
While there are almost certainly other considerations as well, ARC definitely makes Objective-C much less dynamic.

The Objective-C compiler gets significantly more strict with ARC turned on, for example sending unknown messages is an error instead of a warning. Various runtime functions that used to be quite safe also become dangerous, for example it used to be OK to send performSelector: style messages with non-object returning messages (void) and simply ignore the result. That now becomes a crash as ARC tries to retain the return value. So in order the be compatible with ARC, the "cheap and cheerful" reflection that ObjC has isn't really sufficient.

ARC is predicated on the compiler having essentially a statically checkable call-chain.

Another simple thing you can test in a paper to see if it is credible is p-curve and related methods from Uri Simonsohn et al.

You just look at the distribution of p values that are used to support the authors' hypotheses. If the distribution is skewed high, then something fishy is going on.
>What if though, they actually get their money from private funding, like a ton of research projects do.

You'd be surprised how few those are. Even in the biggest private/public companies there are tons of research and tech subsidies, tax-cut deals and other schemes involved which end up in tons of government (our) cash. Those pay for lots of things, including part of their R&D.
It's more like you moved to London, got a new lucrative job, and paid zero taxes by squirreling all your income away into a tax haven. And then you want to send that money to your US bank account without paying taxes to anyone. As a result your new London friends have to pay more tax to pick up your bill on unpaid UK taxes, and your mom in the States has to pay more tax to pick up your bill on unpaid US taxes.
Not yet, looks interesting though. But now i've got to checkout GoCD and Concourse instead of getting BlueOcean Running after updating Jenkins... all those choices, a blessing and a curse.
