> rather more likely they have some plan for vendor lock-in

I think given Canonical's track record, this is a really unfair accusation. Yes, they did not always invest all the effort to make things like Unity work on other distros as well, but the reason for that was always prioritisation of their time (no one else took up and kept up the porting task either), never of intending lock-in.

Canonical (and Mark Shuttleworth) have given a lot to the free software community, and these are exactly the disingenuous accusations that have clearly and understandably affected Mark Shuttleworth personally.
I have a solution, (downvotes are welcome), eat an organic and mostly vegatarian diet.
Some of the critical points raised against Canonical regarding Mir can be seen here:

You don't think that people on the other ends of trades that depended on Barclay's Libor rate were depending on it being objective or accurate?

So those people on the other end of the trades, literally were aware that Barclays were ripping them off by manipulating the rate and were fine with that??

If so, where can I find these traders who like losing money, so I can make some trades with them.
For Toba, I wouldn't expect it to be definitively settled one way or another for a long time, if ever. Volcanology, geology and genetics are very young fields of study, particularly in developing nations that are home to much of the evidence. The theory is that it caused a population bottleneck in humans though, not Neanderthals (who probably had a pretty hard time as well) and that humans nearly fell below the genetic diversity needed to survive.

It's the only example that I know of because humans have only been around for the blink of an eye, Toba maybe be the worst that nature has thrown at us, which is a fraction of what it's capable of.

There are some other more documented examples the merely bought down civilizations (or helped anyway), like the Justinian Famine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_weather_events_of_535%...) thought to be caused by a volcanic eruption.

> Your second example marks the decline of a civilization, but does not even come close to what could be described as an "extinction".

I didn't mean to imply otherwise, though I would say they are one and the same thing in the long term. For humanity to survive and spread beyond our planet we need civilization and we've used up so many natural resources that I'm not sure we could rebuild one to match what we have today without them.
I'm not denying how you felt, but how do you know it wasn't a placebo effect?
The problem with Mir, Unity and all the convergence ideas was that they were poorly communicated.

They didn't really engage with the community and kept all the discussions and development behind closed doors, releasing dumps of code once in a while once they reached a milestone that they were satisfied with.

That's what Google does with Android, for example, and that would be okay... but only if they were able to take on such ambitious plans.

You can't expect the community to welcome you when you blindly follow your ideas and you can't even produce anything in quality. And when I mean in quality, I mean something that justifies going your own way, not just another "GNOME clone" without any added features.

I'm pretty sure they had amazing ideias in mind and that they had reasons on why they avoided going to Wayland but... is anyone able to point out any public mailing list, or public blog discussions, where they discuss all of this? I really tried to follow all Ubuntu/Mir/Unity/Phone/Convergence project but all the information I found was poor and outdated. Even working Ubuntu Phone images for the Nexus 5 was hard to find.

Nah, rapid application development for the most part is a pipe dream. It works for contrived school examples and default CRUD interfaces but as soon as you need custom logic or user interface behaviour it breaks down pretty rapidly.

However, rapid application development isn't the main benefit of these approaches. Their main point is getting a better understanding of the business domain you're operating in.

Ubuntu was my first distro, and it was a great way to learn. I'm still enough of a n00b that I mostly use Debian stable. But when I need the latest versions of packages, I generally go for Ubuntu over Debian testing. However, I use Ubuntu server, and add my own desktop environment. Unity is just too much of a resource hog. I really can't afford to give more than 1GB RAM to a VM, because I use so many VMs.

The same is true of anything. If enough people felt that everyone should go to church on Sunday, a civil war would settle that point too.
Couldn't it also be a very cultural thing:

For example I (German) have to deal with east European mathematicians in my job (they are actually really nice people). The kind of strictness that they treat people who present mathematical bullshit (they are typically right in their mathematical reasoning) is sometimes on the borderline of what is considered as impolite in Germany (and in the US probably even more).

I also went climbing with former Russians. I just say: What in their culture is considered as normal language is in Germany already considered as sexist (and US citizens would be deeply horrified :-) ).

TLDR: What is perfectly acceptable behavior can be deeply different in cultures.
Measuring software engineering competency
No this is warped. They put profits before stability, then needed low rates forever, then had to lie again.
> That seems hyperbolic.

I disagree. While it's probably impossible to come to an objective consensus about any matter of public discussion, at least the vocal people all fall over themselves celebrating the death of Mir and Unity. It also seems to me the hatred toward these software packages prompted Ubuntu to abandon them in the first place, and mind you these were integral pieces that set the Ubuntu desktop apart from every other distro.

So, no, I don't think it's hyperbolic at all to come to this conclusion since we're talking about losing public support to the point of Canonical outright canceling two of their most distinguished programs.
Sort of an idiotic way to do this considering you can use the DNS infrastructure to validate the actual certificate and get rid of CAAs altogether. Chain of trust then goes from the owner of the website directly to his or her readers rather than some private organization which by its very nature is already compromised to third parties like the government.
That's what it is, yes. But why would someone want that programmatic ability? What is the advantage over current methods?

Why would that be the case? Can't I have untrusted records indicating you can't do something (issue a cert for a domain)? That's how SPF / DKIM works.

The definition of the word "semantics" pretty much aligns with "meaning", so it may work as a placeholder for different topics when used in different areas. The use you describe applies only in the context of programming languages, where the semantics describe "what low level code will be generated from my high level code", or "what is the meaning of this code with respect to the capabilities of the language runtime engine".

On the web, though, "semantics" is applied to the problem domain; i.e. "what application am I trying to build with this code", i.e. "what is the meaning of this word with respect to the final user-facing application". Thus, for HTML you get words for the things that are typically build with HTML: web pages. Then you get tags for articles, images, quotes, headers and footers, side bars, etc. These describe the types of content in the page, not how they look.

The "semantic web" is a generalization of this "domain knowledge" idea, providing tools to define your own vocabularies and build applications with them. This approach amounts to creating your own programming language (a new one for each application) in a way that best suit the problem at hand, rather than using a general purpose programming language.
Tons of "Improve your memory" books are irrelevant from this moment. No suprise that none of them actually worked for anyone except placebo effect.
The problem with Mir, Unity and all the convergence ideas was that they were poorly communicated.

Another problem with Unity was that it was totally not like the thing that made many of us like Ubuntu in the first place.

I'm not saying it was bad but I didn't like it. I guess this holds true for a number of earlier Ubuntu users.
Hilariously, EE Mobile in the UK does the reverse of this. Quite a lot of random blogs are blocked, but imgur and reddit are not blocked. Although if you're foolish enough to access reddit over http not https, certain subreddits are blocked.

Corporate systems don't care about a mythical "100% effective", they just want a porn blocking solution with acceptable false negatives. Which gets rid of imgur.

Granted it's mostly from the outside looking in, but your politics does like a bit better than ours. There seems to be a lot less pressure to hold the party line for one thing, which is very rigid here and there seems to be more local engagement. I'd appreciate someone who has experienced both more closely to correct me though.

Much of the current trouble in Australian politics though is because we have the senate which is proportionally elected. I'd argue this is a good thing overall, but our two major parties (particularly the current one) don't seem to have realised that they have to negotiate policy to make it pass.

Same thing a sad or lonely chicken makes: food.

Since happiness is generally associated with good health I'd wager happier chickens are healthier, ergo, tastier.

So you'd rather destroy a promising program just because you weren't asked about your opinion? Doesn't this effectively mean that we stopped caring about open source, the only thing that actually matters now is the perception of broad community support? It doesn't seem to be about users anymore either, it's all about the approval of gatekeepers now.

It used to be anyone, a guy in a garage, or even a huge company, could make something, share the source code, and we'd be happy for their contribution. Now that's apparently shifted to "don't start anything new, just fall in line with the existing stuff". What company or individual would want to publish anything new in this kind of environment?

There seem to be very little benefit to this new validation check. The CAs I've used have required you to prove you have control over the domain you want a certificate for (either by adding a DNS entry or by responding to an email sent to one of the defined contacts in the registry.

If someone can already create a new DNS entry for you, they can create their own CAA entry. If someone has compromised your registry account, they can always redirect DNS requests for your site to a new location.

>Over het algemeen brengt u geen btw in rekening aan ondernemers uit andere EU-landen. Bij goederen past u dan het 0%-tarief toe en bij diensten wordt de btw naar uw klant verlegd.

In general, you should not charge VAT to entrepreneurs from other EU-countries.
For goods, the 0%-tariff applies.
For services, the VAT is transferred to the client. (Which means they need to declare the transaction and pay VAT in their country, which has nothing to do with your transaction with them).
Regarding [2] - in Poland during the communist times, there were government-ran stores called PEWEX:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pewex

They used to sell imported goods like TVs, bicycles, cameras, typewriters etc etc, but only in exchange for American Dollars.

You couldn't legally buy American Dollars in Poland - the only way to legally obtain them was to have them sent over from abroad by a relative(you could buy them from the national bank for business, but it was a massive pain to get the necessary permissions).

I just think it's interesting, as the experience looks similar, except that the korean store takes korean won. On the other hand, I imagine only members of the korean elite are allowed in that store, while anyone could at least enter a PEWEX and marvel at the imported goods.

iBeacon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBeacon) is one way to achieve this, but AFAIK it hasn't had much adoption. If I was doing this I'd probably first look at video tracking via existing CCTV cameras, possibly augmented with information like iBeacon.

The book "Why We Buy" gives examples of how manipulating sight lines and visitor flow through stores can increase sales. If you could track visitor paths continuously you could continually optimise your store layout, rather than doing a one-off with outside consultants. Think of it as the offline equivalent of continuous A/B testing.
No the development of the swap market is quite recent.

But you would still force me to use PlatformIO as my build system, correct?

Now, assuming I accepted that:

How much effort is it for someone who doesn't know PlatformIO that well, doesn't know (or car about) SCons? Is it more or less effort than just using make/cmake/build system of my choice instead?

Can I be certain that I won't find out too late that I'm now locked in somehow? Are its processes truly flexible enough for what I need, and might need in the future?

Can I even (with reasonable effort) create new commands (e.g. platformio static_code_analysis) to shape PlatformIO to my needs?

The one that makes the most sense. If I get to pick, I like to use Catch. But since the decision tends to have already been made for me (through existing test suites, or coworker's preferences), I use whichever is most practical.

Or even several in parallel, as is the case on my current project.
