Secondly, that practice makes permanent, so be mindful of what you're practicing.

That's a pretty common trope amongst musicians, as one example. If you play a part wrong, go back and get it right. Otherwise, all that you're "practicing" is how to play it wrong.
OK, then what principle of capitalism are you referring to?
Most professions require more training.

Not policework in the US, though: From what Google tells me, training often lasts less than 6 months. In comparison, in Germany it's normally 30 months, but it can vary from state to state (in a few, it's 24 or 36 months).
This is at the heart of the principle of Genchi Genbutsu[0], from the Toyota Production System. "If the problem exists on the shop floor then it needs to be understood and solved at the shop floor"

And of course, the more general intuition that people should aim to fix problems not just symptoms.

Because the people who would write the rules want to be "tough on crime".
Not really.

The anti-patent protections Apache provides don't work if the patent holder has the option to use the license without those protections instead. I believe this is why it's common for projects to dual-license under Apache and GPLv3 - both licenses have anti-patent provisions.
> And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard.

All nice and dandy if it weren't for you quoting this as a part of your justification for the unjustifiable. It's not about attributing the violent behaviour of a minority to a group (like you are now trying to change the discourse), it's praising that violent minority behaviour as a fight against the system as you just did.
That's not how laws work. At all. Even the GPLv3 (authored by one of the biggest activists against software patents) has clauses relating to software patents -- because they are a legitimate threat to software freedom and need to be addressed. Just because you don't like patents doesn't make the problem go away -- in fact by ignoring it you're making the problem worse because then your code's license has no protection for your users.

Not really, bodybuilders tend to have less fat thus their muscles look bigger. Also Powerlifters lift heavier weights in big part due to a much better technique than bodybuilders. Saying that bodybuilder's muscles are just a junk of stored protein is wrong, they are strong, very strong

For those who may not remember or may not have heard, QiHoo is the company behind the most popular scam browsers in the world: Qihoo 360 Secure. It was one of the most popular browsers in China with 28% of the market a few years ago. It used an IE logo colored green, force-uninstalled competing browsers by claiming they were unsafe, made uninstallation so difficult you'd often have to re-image the machine, breaks SSL, can expose user passwords, etc.

Remember, this is a "security" company.

It's rather fascinating: https://webdesign.tutsplus.com/articles/qihoo-360-secure-the...

Personally, I wouldn't trust anything this "security" company is connected with anywhere need my devices, software, or business.
What does the EU want here, exactly? For Google to close Android and make all the phones itself, thus eliminating the problem of OEMs being paid by eliminating OEMs entirely?

This is yet another bizarre ruling by the EU - they're saying that a far more proprietary, less competition friendly approach (Apple) is OK, but you can literally give an entire OS away as open source and it's illegal? I don't think tech firms can win here. Nothing they do will ever appease the EU.

And in the interim, let’s do everything we can to finally start to fix traditional programming. It is not a quixotic dream; it actually is possible. Once we just accept that, everything can, and I believe will, be better.

This is literally magical thinking.

Formally verifying software, being disciplined about not adding unnecessary features, favoring simplicity over sophistication, using the tried and true instead of The New New Thing: all of these require a huge amount of willpower and fighting against the entire grain of the tech culture.

You will be branded a reactionary. You will be told you are stuck in the past. The person willing to promise marketing the moon will be promoted, you will be labeled "difficult to work with."

It's pretty black pill, but, as with our government: we are getting the software we deserve, good and hard.
This isn't a bad guide, but for those new and interested in the topic, the Reddit r/fitness subreddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness ) has a wiki which is probably the best all around guide out there to getting fit, muscular, and strong: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/wiki/index

It is both entirely free and substantially better than this guide. It is based on the combined experience of people who are much further along in their fitness journey than Julian. There are good answers to all common questions and there are solid programs that match various personal preferences.
It would have been hard to do a TiVo or ReplayTV much before those companies did it. You don't have to go much further back in time before sufficiently large hard disks would probably have been too pricey. In addition, I don't think consumer computer-based tuner boards came about all that much earlier. And, like the early TiVos, you'd have had to support plugging it into a phone line to get the subscription service.

The bottom line is that I could imagine an expensive, low capacity DVR a couple years before they actually appeared but I'm not sure there would have been a viable commercial market for such.
How about the FSF suing Microsoft for copyright infringement? That would be a fun one.

Every individual contributor could also potentially sue Microsoft in that case. The FSF wouldn't even have to lift a finger, and the contributors could get a nice class-action lawsuit going.
Michael Crichton did it.

It's how the time machine worked in Timeline.

If I remember correctly, the company sending people back through time (really to a parallel universe) didn't even know how/why the receiving machines were appearing.

It also happened on Sliders, they visited worlds that were ahead or behind Earth Prime.
You could make an Android phone that had things like that, and companies have done so (like Amazon). The downside is then you wouldn't be able to license the Google services on top.

Android is both open source and expensive to develop. It seems like a reasonable compromise to me, especially as Google keeps the fragmentation problem somewhat under control this way.
Thanks so much! My target students should be between 11 and 14 years. I will try out Maths option you mentioned. Frankly speaking I faced the same problem when I started programming.
Browsers fall in to the 'things we need to ship but the source being closed isn't a competitive advantage' of huge software corps (Mozilla being an outlier).

I listed artist tools because that's the thing I have first-hand experience with and I'm sure others here do as well but it's faaar from being limited to that.

List superior OSS alternatives to things like SAP/Dynamics/Salesforce or CAD like SolidWorks/AutoCAD. Where are all the OSS banking systems ? Every industry I've seen has their own specialized tools that cost big $ and has stuff that took years to purpose build, the sort of thing that just isn't viable under OSS model. Industrial control applications, and let's not even go to heavily regulated stuff used in medical devices and such.

I'm not the one who's tunneling here, there's more software out there than dev tools, browsers and server OSes, very little of it is OSS, even less can compete on quality.
How being alone may be the key to rest
>Yes, they don't have the same market share but their product is completely closed

There are no laws against closed products per se.

Antitrust regulations apply only for products with dominant market share (Android has 87.6% market share 2016Q2 according to IDC).
> A common example of this kind of behaviour is GPL proponents forking BSD or other similiarly licensed software, and exclusively wrapping their contributions to it under the GPLv3.

A much more common example is a proprietary software vendor taking a lax licensed project and creating a proprietary fork of it. Of course, BSD proponents don't mention the far more common case (because it wouldn't help the narrative that GPL proponents only spend their time relicensing code).

Why you don't have a problem with proprietary forks but do have a problem with copyleft forks is beyond me. Especially since sometimes copyleft forks are created because the developers made so many changes that it stands in its own right as a separate project (and the developers feel that user freedom trumps upstreamability).
Apple simply doesn't allow OEMs on their platform at all. This does not seem like a better approach.
First, it would be nice if the currently closed parts of a the Google-logo Android most OEMs ship were more open. Google's IoT OS is developed in the open, while AOSP has periodic updates. Parts of Google's suite of services and apps that are currently for Google-logo OEMs could also be opened without weakening Google's position with OEMs.

Secondly, it would be nice if there were more smartphone OS choices, like Jolla, that could prosper alongside the two main choices.

But Google doesn't deserve to get fined for anti-competitive practices. Amazon's mobile OS drafts off of Google's work on AOSP, and nobody is whining about that. Yandex announced they would do something similar. Chinese OEMs have long had their own app stores on Android. In many ways Android is the basis for open competition in mobile OSs.

If you want something other than the Google ecosystem, you can have it on an Android OS with all the latest OS technologies. But you have to have your own credible ecosystem and customer base for it. I'm not sure what the EU wants that hasn't already been demonstrated can be done in the US, Russia, and China.
> Microsoft certainly pays OEMs to configure Bing

Microsoft has little market share.

First sentence: "Most bodybuilding advice is wrong", proceeds to list the most common bodybuilding advice.

The best thing you could do to learn how to build muscle is to go to a big bodybuilding forum and just do whatever bro-science they spout. I've been following bodybuilding forums and casually looking at research for many years, and invariably the bro-scientists are way ahead of scientific proof, in terms of methods and techniques, all the way down to finicky details. You'll also get the truth about what you can and can't do with/without anabolics.

Edit: I see that the author is here. It's not a bad guide, good design etc, but frankly it rubbed me the wrong way to basically read "I'm right and everyone else is wrong, because I researched", without having a highly impressive build to back it up. Even professional body builders don't prescribe certain techniques/methods as gospel.

The problem with US police is that they now want to behave like deployed military troops without any of the risk. They want to play with all these "cool toys", and pretend they are raiding some compound in Fallujah or something, but they refuse to risk their life.

That's how they end up killing people who are fetching their ID in their pocket, or people carrying a black book, or really just standing there. The excuse is always the same: I feared for my life. And their superiors always back them up: The officer thought he was in danger, police officers have the right to use lethal force if they think their life is in danger. I remember reading an amazing post by a vet who joined the force, and he was totally baffled to see that his new coworkers were more agressive than his platoon in Irak.

Guess what, real military troops accept the fact that sometimes they'll get shot and die. They always make sure that the guy on the other side is actually shooting at them before they open fire. And when they don't, they're punished. Severely.

I know it's not a popular opinion in a country where cops are called heroes. But I'd rather see 10 dead cops than a single innocent citizen shot. It sucks, it's a lot to ask for, but it comes with the job. When you're a cop you have to put the life of others before your own. Otherwise become an accountant.
Yes, you can change it. You could install Netscape on PCs bundled with IE, too. That's not the point.
A party can become a joint author, and then they can change the license on the entire work. The part "joint copyright holders can distribute the entire work under any conditions they feel like, even without agreement from any other joint copyright owner" is well established. You may not believe me, but it is the law (I already linked to the University of California, and Eben Motown's statement that to enforce a licence you need the cooperation of each copyright holder, acknowledging that a single dissenting copyright holder can kill an enforcement action; but here's a link to Stanford: http://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/faqs/copyright-ownershi...).

The FSF avoids this problem by requiring copyright assignment. To be honest, I'm not sure that's enough, but I think they're hoping for a sympathetic judge. Most projects have never looked at what the law actually says regarding joint work, and think it works the way they would write the law. I know what the outcome of that will be.
Uhm no, if an AI writes software that contains mistakes the errors would still be important as now with human-written software. When a programmer makes a mistake usually we don't think about intentions but this is because we usually assume the mistake is unintentional. With AI we can ask ourselves if the mistake is intentional or not, but the mistake would still be important.
Honestly, most software development has been going noticeably down hill the last couple years from Microsoft, Google, and Apple. It's understandable from Google whose business is ads (90% of their revenue) and makes software to drive ads. And it would even be a bit excusable for Apple given that Apple is primarily a hardware company. But Microsoft is a software company. Yes, they're dabbling in hardware a bit, but their revenue is software.
Recent research has shown that progressing with 8-12 reps is not any more optimal for hypertrophy than progressing with 20-30 reps (what people would normally think of as developing "muscular endurance"). The difference in practicing 8-12 reps is increasing strength as well, i.e., participants doing 20-30 reps didn't see significant increases in their 1RMs (despite muscle growth) while those doing 8-12 reps did.
MLK was neither praising nor justifying those who riot. Here's the context before and after the quote I gave earlier:

> ... it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. ...

> And so we must still face the fact that our nation's summers of riots are caused by our nations winters of delay. As long as justice is postponed we always stand on the verge of these darker nights of social disruption. The question now, is whether America is prepared to do something massively, affirmatively and forthrightly about the great problem we face in the area of race and the problem which can bring the curtain of doom down on American civilization if it is not solved.

Nor do I praise nor justify riots. The goal should be to understand why riots occur, in order to avoid having them in the future - and hopefully by improving justice and civil rights, vs. some of the more horrific solutions that humans have tried before.

Ann Richards was the last governor I actually liked or agreed with. Since then, we've hit a downslide into the morass of conservative politics and there's no end in sight. I thank <deity> daily that we don't have Sam Brownback in charge, but the next likely candidate for governor after Abbot is probably our current AG and he makes Abbott look like a pinko commie.

In the 20th century, humorologists thought that the knew the worst kind of humor, humor so bereft of actual humor that it almost wasn't humor. They thought it was the "pun".

The 21st century has proved them wrong. There is in fact a lower form of "for lack of a better category, I guess we'll reluctantly file that under humor". It is the "reference".

Mere references, lacking any other point of interest, do not do well around here. I am comfortable with this.

It doesn't really meet any of the goals for relicensing. For example, one goal was to not need CLA's. Apache has a built in CLA, GPLv3 does not.
Another is that llvm has no desire to require signing keys for represent or source reproduction of private backend, etc.
Using gplv3 as a base would have required an even longer list of exceptions, and the end result would be gutting most of gplv3
