What would taking care of the North Korea problem look like? Land invasion? We did that; it ended in a stalemate, and the circumstances of that result haven't really changed.

Turkey should be concerned about whether its strategic value still exists as such. We could probably live without them in the post-Soviet world. They are certainly extremely useful to have in the fold, but Erdoğan should take care not to assume they're indispensable.

AFAIK, the enterprise edition (EE) used to be open source but is now closed [1]. There is an open source "community edition" which has many of the features of the enterprise edition, including self hosting, but lacks others [2].

While I find it unfortunate that GitLab doesn't have it's enterprise edition open sourced, I think they have enough goodwill in the community so that I'm not that angry about it. I would really be interested in hearing from the GitLab folk whether they think making their enterprise edition open source would really hurt their income and if they have any plans on eventually releasing their enterprise edition as open source (again).

TLDR; GitLab has an open core business model.

This is a superb point. Americans are so quick to rally against any foreign leader that is sympathetic to Islam.

In the US we've had decades of anti-Islamic propaganda, since it has helped sell various war efforts.

All countries have some internal forces of pluralism and some internal voices of absolutism, for a variety of contemporary and historical reasons, and all citizens have the ability to consent and to dissent, and to thus influence their own destiny.

In the US, we are such sheep that we enjoy indignantly criticizing the character of foreign leaders we know nothing about... while ignoring the atrocities committed by our own nation and the humanitarian disasters that we create abroad (and tolerate at home).

Propaganda isn't simply about promoting specific beliefs, it's about creating a distorted sense of what is important. So many Americans view "stopping Islamic fundamentalism" as significant and more important than so many other things. This view is the result of Billions of dollars spent on propaganda over decades.

Dehumanization propaganda (which the US is expert at) creates a political environment where many (most?) American citizens are dismissive of the basic rationality (and basic human rights) of anyone characterized as Islamic.

I believe that power systems gradually progress from "power by force" into something that looks more like pluralistic democracy. Not because the power holders decide to give up some of the power, but because they are successfully able to whitewash their nature by using propaganda messages. Over time, the government that waged genocide against native Americans and killed millions of Japanese civilians becomes the government that wants to wage a Trillion dollar war to free Iraqi women from oppression.

This is not the steady march of humanitarian progress. It's the enveloping propaganda narrative. We are just as barbaric now as ever, and our most recent genocide has been against the Iraqi people and the victims of the drone attacks throughout the region.

The anti-Islamic narrative used by the US Government to sell wars in the middle east has resulted in massive transfers of wealth... Generally, the plunder of a natural-resource-rich region by the US.

There is absolutely no desire on the part of the US to create democracy or pluralism in the middle east. Islamic solidarity groups, the only sort of grassroots political movement likely to stop the region's US-supported dictators, are of course vilified by the US because they also oppose US-led destabilization of the region.
Things like https://www.rt.com/news/327701-isis-turkey-oil-trade/ cannot happen without the government knowing about it.
The GodMode allows one to access many useful settings from a curated grouped single list view that isn't available anywhere else. The hidden feature is available since WinNT 6 (Vista).

The Win10 DevMode doesn't give you anything that isn't already available from the control panels too. The whole point is, that it's accessable from one page.

And for Win9x (95,98,ME) there were the far more powerful TweakUI tool from Raymond Chan hosted on microsoft.com. An updated improved TweakUI for WinXP was available as part of the PowerToys collection from microsoft.com as well.

Don't downplay my comment. The GUID triva info doesn't add anything and is well known to many Win devs.
If you skipped the article and went right to the comments, the point of the piece is that Turkey blaming America for coups is nothing new, and that Erdogan remains a problematic leader for the country.

You only have two choices, look at data you don't control or data you do. The entire point of experiments is to narrow the range of uncontrolled data as much as possible. Looking at raw data does not help. Looking at huge data-sets of minimally controlled experimental data does not help.

Physicists's for example can't change the age of the universe they are operating in. It's a rather large unknown, but not exactly an unknown unkown.

At the other end, people trust surveys of eating habits. I don't care if you send out a billion of those things it's still bad data in systematic and changing ways.

In between, most animal studies in mice are looking at disease analog X, in a population of fat, minimally stimulated, etc.
NATO has also never been really tested. We don't know if the US won't chicken out.
That poem was not meant to be funny, it was a reaction to an earlier attempt by Erdogan to complain about another "insult".

The poem was just saying "THIS is what an actual insult looks like".

In light of the recent events though it appears that goats have been insulted in the poem, not Erdogan.

You can say that a coup is in the long term interest of the people or not, just as you could say that a permanent military junta might better serve the people than the AKP.

What the comment you're replying to is correctly pointing out is that what you can't say about a coup is that it's democratic. It's the opposite of democratic.
To be fair, if the military had wanted to fight civilians there would be far more than tens of deaths. We're talking about tanks and assault rifles against unarmed civilians.

Every loss of life was tragic but it was entirely Erdogan and the mosques that told people to attack the soldiers. Otherwise this would have been purely between the military and the police. He was fully aware that he could be sending his people to certain death but he did it knowing that he would be able to use it for publicity no matter which way things played out (bloodbath = martyrs for democracy, surrender = victory of the people).

The coup didn't have to be staged to fail. It was doomed to fail to begin with. The only question is why the military either did not see that or didn't mind failing. Considering how much control Erdogan already had over his country (and even the military) before the coup, it's entirely within reason to consider the possibility that he triggered the coup because there was no way it would harm him.
If I were a senior official at the Chinese foreign service, and I heard that one of my employees got such a CD and just gave it back to the Danes without notifying higher-ups, then I would want that employee's head.

On the other hand, if I were a senior official in the Danish foreign service, then I would find my life a lot easier if no one was kicking up a fuss about the Chinese.

You are right but it's the other way around. Being cute brings about domestication in an animal. Dogs are just more common because they were wolves 15000 years ago and stuck around groups of human hunters for leftover hunt. In return they acted as protection since others animals didn't come close, whereas humans were able to control them with fire. So humans domesticated the cute ones.

It depends on the type of work you do. If you are putting together a handful of pages and only plan on spending a few hours writing CSS then probably no need for preprocessor.

On the other hand, if you're a front end developer or you find yourself working on CSS multiple times a week then you should absolutely use a preprocessor.

There are tradeoffs between the two approaches, but preprocessors do save you time so the added complexity can be worth it the more you work on styling.
They're going to continue to pop up, just like JavaScript frameworks will. Because they're not popping up due to any necessity, but because someone (1) learned JavaScript, (2) learned some shell commands, (3) had the epiphany that they could abstract shell commands away using JavaScript, and (4) isn't aware of the previous thousand attempts by others to do the same thing.
First, please don't call other comments "nonsense". It degrades the thread and makes your own comment far less persuasive. It's also something the site guidelines tell you not to do.

Second, just because a coup is overthrowing an elected government that, having achieved power, is subverting democracy, doesn't mean the coup is itself democratic. A military coup is the opposite of democracy. Democracy has been restored in plenty of countries previously ruled by authoritarians without recourse to the military.

Holy shit, I’m internet famous! Hi Mom! :D

Coming up for air after a deep dive with Keystone.js – as you all have invested your time, I owe you an answer:

I’ve decided to go with GitLab going forward. It’s free, has integrated well with my team, runs itself in the cloud with the option of being run locally, and has some super promising stuff in the pipes. I’m excited to see what else it can do!

Before I get to the runners-up: massive thanks to everyone who participated here. This is a super cool community that I’m lucky to be able to tap into; and watching various well-thought arguments and rockstars give their two cents has been a real treat.

Bitbucket is the service that, unfortunately, I always seem to hear all of about 15 minutes too late. I see Bitbucket about on par with Github between what they offer – the biggest thing that it has going against it, then, is its lack of proliferation. Perhaps it’s that Github locked up their UI earlier, perhaps it’s just what I’ve been grandfathered into. But all too often, it proves to be the path of least resistance for a significant enough of the dev population – and that’s a good sign they’re doing something right.

Having said that, I would love to see this balance shift. :D Please, prove me wrong!

Rhodecode is definitely something to keep your eye on. Squabbles aside, it looks like they have a lot of really dedicated people working on something that looks extremely promising. Please keep fighting the good fight!

Again, endless thanks to everyone who jumped in here. I’m on skype @mike.of.the.jungle, if you’d like to say hi.

I think the point is that pure open source tools often don't allow the founder(s)/maintainers to really grow out the company to large scale.

They can continue to have a good lifestyle from the revenue they get for their open source tools and associated consulting but actually it's very hard to create enough surplus revenue to grow the business. Consulting on open source projects is very person/salary heavy.

I think it's a fair point to make...

Why do we have smart-home apps at all?
Sure - and there's nothing wrong with that. Look at patio11 before he started starfighter. You could call it "bootstrapped business". Those companies still take a long time to build.

To be fair - most of these businesses still rely on hiring lots of personnel.

A software company by definition scales better than a consulting company. If the goal indeed is to scale with SAAS like margins then you are going to need a different model than consulting.

That being said, we work with a lot of consulting companies (I even used to run one) called systems integrators. They make good money for their families and are pretty well off. Many of them are also subsidaries of very large conglomerates (Samsung SDS, LG CNS, SK C&C in korea for example)

Those kinds of businesses don't need VC and shouldn't take it. I didn't mean it to be patronizing per se it's just different goals.

Perhaps there are features from other programming languages that should exist in shell programming?

For example, I've always felt that the fact that almost everything in shell programming is a gigantic string is really bad. It would be much nicer if all commands had type signatures, and therefore piping commands into each other could throw type errors if it does not make sense.

This would also allow much better feedback when stringing together commands, since the shell IDE would be able to recommend commands that act upon a particular type. For example, if a command produces output that could be considered to be N > 1 lines long then `wc -l` would be available, however if this isn't the case it does not make much sense for it to be recommend to the user.
He would not be able to do many of the things he does simply because he would have to conform to EU regulation. He may be popular at home, but EU is also popular, and i believe a credible path to membership would strengthen that support.

Well, I think, trying to abstract something away does not mean it's a fad, but totally the opposite: It means it's something people think they'll have to deal with a lot, but for whatever reason find it too much of a burden to deal with it directly.

It's like the ORMs. None of them mean SQL is a fad, it's just that some people seem to dislike SQL in a programming context.

More anecdata - there were a bunch of crows who were harassing my elderly outdoor cat. So I grabbed my BB gun and shot one from my bedroom window. The two other companions flew off, but when I went to go dispose of the body, 6 more birds flew over to see what I was doing. Cawing at me the whole time.

I didn't want to kill the damn thing. But, our whole street was crow free for at least 2 years.
Nope. According to news, they learned it several hours ago (around 4 pm) but information was quite limited. They did try taking preventive measures but failed to stop the coup (You can read one coup army officials statements on that). However, probably because of it coup started earlier than planned and it was one of the reasons of the failure.
This is actually the textbook example of "disruption" as described in The Innovator's Solution. The generally accepted definition of disruption is capturing a market from an incumbent by introducing a product that meets most of a customer's needs at a much lower price and/or higher availability.

The beauty is that the big players are structurally unable to compete, because they have baked in a high cost structure and are dedicated to serving ever-higher customer needs (think five blades).

The end products of a powerful navy are openness of the sea for commerce, protection of international peace, and national security.
