I was seeing pinboard.io just yesterday. I save my bookmarks in DevonThink using the full webpage stored in the computer.

I now want to move completely to Linux but DevonThink is MacOS only and I was searching for something like DevonThink on Linux.

Nothing came up so the next best thing seems to be pinboard.io... but the truth is, unless I pay the premium service for archival (and then continue paying that without stoping every year to keep them archived and rely in a private service that can just be terminated at any moment by its developer) I really don't see any diference between using pinboard.io or using Firefox bookmarks.

Am I missing something here?

This is tough, it seems like people can just say "Yeah I can do that." I don't mean to be "discriminating" either but when you see how their sentences are formed it's concerning.

I guess you can test their skill with a paid task but it also seems easy to just look things up copy/paste and send it in. While that gets the job done, is that person actually competent.

Using kotlin in web pages, client side and server side could be a big win. You could be able to use exactly the same language in all you stack. Although programming for the frontend will be different than programming for the backend, the fact that any of them can review the code of the others is great. You could also move resources in peak times to help a little.
I'm a bit late to the party, but what I'd like most from Fedora (and by extension, Gnome / Systemd, ... devs) is something on the meta level.

This isn't meant to sound harsh, but I don't know how to say it. Please don't do the cascade of attention-deficient teenagers thing. Please take backwards compatibility seriously. And please give me a stable distribution.

Stable doesn't mean a years old Firefox. CentOS is not stable, it is stale. Stable can mean always going with the latest and greatest software. But it means I write a program now, and I can be sure it works 5 years later with no or minimal changes - and importantly, not looking fallen out-of-time! A frozen Gnome 3.24 is not stable, it is stale once development moves on. Gnome was stable in, say, ~2.14 - 2.28 (I'm just making the numbers up) - it was still receiving new features, widgets, themes. The same applies to Fedora as a whole.

If you have to ship multiple versions of libraries, then be it so. But even better would be to influcence the developers to avoid breaking changes. Take backwards compatibility religiously, like Microsoft. I know it is not easy, but that is what I'd really love to see (before e.g. three finger guestures).

There is a big overlap between Fedora developers, and Gnome/Glib/Systemd/Networkmanager/Wayland/... developers, so you are in a great position to do so.

All in all, I like do Fedora. As others have said, it is really polished, like Ubuntu used to be. I used to use Debian and Ubuntu, but when things started moving and breaking under me (and in order to get up to date things I couldn't just live on a ESR) I moved to Windows. Once the Wayland dust settles, I'm definitely looking to move back to Linux/Fedora again.

> What difference does it make if someone has been asked or not? The rules apply anyway, consent or consensus is not required.

You're essentially cheering for coercion, but without seeing it.

What does it matter if a woman consented to having sex with a guy, if the guy has a rule book where he wrote down that "all women must have sex with me"?

> if they don't like their system, they're free to change it

Oh right. Just like women are free to petition the jolly roaming rapist guy with his rulebook. If they can convince him that a change in the rules is necessary, then maybe they won't be raped anymore. If they don't like the system, they're free to change it!

But until the rules are changed, women will be getting raped but that's their own fault because they just haven't bothered changing the rules (by writing letters to the rule guy, or perhaps dropping pieces of paper into "voting boxes").
This is great! I've adopted Kotlin as my go-to JVM language but being able to write code that outputs native binaries for things like CLI tools would be huge and may serve as a strong competitor to Go as a pragmatic, but well designed language.

Steven Johnson, in his recent book Where Good Ideas Come From, pointed out that cities are more innovative the bigger they are, demonstrably according to a quarter power law. Aggregates of people are more creative than individuals. http://www.penguin.com/ajax/books/excerpt/9781594487712

But he ALSO points out that the internet has greatly reduced the need for physical proximity to get the aggregation benefits to creativity.

So, the question stands: why do people flock to the places with absurdly high rent when they could work remotely? The Sand Hill Road Shuffle (raising money for the next startup) isn't THAT much fun.
I'm sorry, I'm not seeing it. One person involved with the Linux Foundation wrote an article that used some terms this author and some others didn't like, and after some outcry the Linux Foundation removed it. Somehow this makes the entire organization a non-friend of Desktop Linux and the GPL?

It's just such a massive leap of logic. The GPL is in the most restrictive class of open-source licenses for companies, and it is viral by nature. Should those terms be sugar-coated? I didn't read an ounce of contempt in the quoted section.

Learning to Rank 101 – Linear Models
Oh man, this guy I'm screening literally google search pasted a response.
For anyone who doesn't know, the www is a a "hypertext" project where documents can contain links to each other. By clicking these links, a wide variety of content is exposed. For example, consider how much easier it is to use Wikipedia than to have to look up references in the index (page numbers by word occurrence) of a printed book. You can just click on a link and follow it.
In all, most people spend most of their online time reading pages that have hyperlinks in it, which they follow.

It's certainly a paradigm shift similar to what Gutenberg accomplished.

What Is Gstatic? (Remove Gstatic Virus) (April 2017 Update) – Virus Removal
> Apple platforms defaulting to fair is no less conforming than Linux defaulting to unfair.

Of course, but it makes it less performant in many situations, while you can't count on that feature if you're coding against the standard (i.e. if for cross platform development; hence OP's blogpost). Which - in turn - explains why people are complaining about the performance, since they need to guarantee the fairness themselves anyway if they really need it.

On the other hand: If you're only coding against OSX, having the fairness in an extension shouldn't be a problem anyway.

Of course, this then facilitates other problems, if the standard is not evolving fast enough (the whole OpenGL extension mess would be a good example).

As another resident of Amsterdam. I don't think your impression of the situation really matches up with statistics. Look at these two articles:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-r...
http://projects.oregonlive.com/ucc-shooting/gun-deaths

Here you can see the gun death rate in The Netherlands per 100k inhabitants is 0.58, but there's some areas in the US where the rate is quite comparable.

What really sets things apart is the suicide rate, most deaths by guns in the US are by suicide, but there's counties in the US where there's easy access to guns and the overall death rate is lower than the Dutch gun violence + non-gun suicides.

So in a lot of cases it's not that just having guns makes everything hyper-violent. It's just that if people feel like killing themselves they'll use the best available instrument available to them.

Conflating that with general gun safety as it pertains to you feeling safe walking around Amsterdam, but not in a comparable town in the US, is silly.

Pretty much every major city worldwide has large suburbs that have their postcodes and are administered by the same municipal government, but they're clearly not included in the "European city center" designation. They are part of the city, but not part of the city center; and for a multimillion city the difference (and distances!) are significant.

And they're posting on the Linux Foundation's site so that's a bit more than just some random person writing an article for the site.

Also the term "viral" comes off as an insult to the licence, I think the term GNU Public Virus used to be a common descriptor.

I think that's why the term Copyleft was introduced.
That was essentially the promise of RDF, OWL, The Semantic Web, Web2.0 and so on. After swimming in that stuff for 3 years in the early 00's, I could tell back then that it was mostly a boondoggle, and even though those technologies have found their niche, the project failed for the same reason that the original WWW was successful.

It was like 'AI' in the 80's, but with XML.
If you want to combine viral open-source code with toxic proprietary code, sure. Proprietary code is toxic by nature, so why should we not use that term?

I disagree. Calling a grant of permissions "restrictive", or calling it "viral" has as much contempt as calling a offering of proprietary licensed software toxic. Its insult flinging, plain and simple.
Excellent. I was looking for this, as no articles seemed to provide a link although they mentioned it.
I'm reporting a company today.
I'd suggest step back from everything, go camping away from all tech for a couple of weeks and use that time to reflect upon what makes you happy.

You had a passion for the artistic side form what I can tell and also coding, but I have personally found if you mix your passion with work, then getting that balance right can be hard and you will often find your taken advantage of (long hours/work loads, most self impossed) and can only end up burning out and wearing you down and lead to depression.

It is a common issue, not just in tech, but the industry does enable it more than other industries.

You may find that doing your own passion may well be profitable and by that doing your own company, not contracting, but providing a service of some form. As indeed you have done in the past, via your art initially.

But stepping back, and away from all everything, to collect your thoughts and removing all the noise is a great way to get to know yourself what you truly want and what you do not want.

Don't let a few bad people/experiences dictate your life, more so when you have had many good people/experiences. Why focus upon the bad more, is often easily done.

I appreciate writing about it can be very cathartic and enlightening, but equally, can end up forcing yourself into making decisions based upon the bad and ignoring the good. You may even find yourself writing a book of advice you wished your younger self had read and that is perhaps something to ponder.

But don't rule anything out, but do get away from it all and collect your feelings and enable you to work out what you want in life, what you need in life and what you want to avoid in life. Also be mindful that over time those goals/needs and wants change as time goes on, and currently your priority is yourself, what you want, what makes you happy.
Schengen is for free movement. It does not give you work permit.
Just as a clarification, it does not mean anything to have citizenship of a country that is in the Schengen agreement, which simply covers border enforcement when traveling between signatory countries, not immigration status. These rules in theory apply equally to all citizens, with some special provisions for EU (+ CH, etc.) citizens covering things such as required ID.

Yeah, I understand, it's a completely valid use case. I'm personally much more productive when I'm completely disconnected, so I really identify with the request.

I had, in the past, also been thinking a bit about how the system could work offline because it would avoid a lot of security issues for something like a medical office that wants to create content that's then copied into a medical records system.

My initial thought was to bundle a local copy of the server with pre-trained models, but that becomes problematic on mobile clients. I'm writing the server in Go, so if I go that route I'd probably need to reimplement parts of it in another language and avoid using any remote APIs.

So the answer is: very likely yes, but not initially. You've definitely moved the functionality up my planned features list.

> You are less likely to attack someone if there is the risk that person has a gun.

I don't believe that. I think that the calculus of whether to attack someone skips the "is the victim armed?" question. You just make sure to bring overwhelming force, e.g. bring a gun to a (probable) gun fight or a knife to a fist fight.

But what do I know. I'm just an European wuss, who has fire a handgun exactly once.

This isn't a scam. The author admits they had an actual reason for denying him. It was a mistake in his record and they charged an exorbitant processing fee, but there is nothing that shows they acted in bad faith.
The tone of the article is very disturbing. I would think not supporting the GPL is a deadly sin if I did not know about open source licenses.

Furthermore, as it is mentioned, one person's article does not automatically determine the foundation's stance, especially if they "quietly removed" it.

As a couple of other folks have mentioned, it’s important to keep in mind that the premise of that original post was, "what could Ubuntu do better?" In that context, what you DON’T see there are the things that Ubuntu does well already, but that folks feel might be lacking in Fedora.

Speaking for myself, I can tell you that a HUGE part of the reason I stick with Ubuntu are their LTS releases. Those are just super important to me: more than most anything, I value a desktop that I don’t have to overhaul/reinstall on a frequent basis. Ubuntu’s five years of support puts it way out ahead of Fedora’s one.

(As a developer, I of course need to stay more up to date than the LTSes themselves are, but that’s what /usr/local/ is for. It’s trivial to keep those things up to date myself, and frankly, even Fedora would be too slow for me with most of that.)
