> Lock-in is a cost of any solution tho. Whatever solution one picks, it's going to cost time and energy and, probably at least indirectly, money to migrate to another.

That's not lock-in. Lock-in is when you are dependent on a (quasi-)monopoly, not just any potential migration cost.

> Non-proprietary solutions 'shut down' too, e.g. because the unpaid developers burn out and quit.

No, actually, they don't. The point, as above, is that it's not the sole decision of another party when a 'shut down' happens, that is, again, there is no monopoly. First of all, if you have free software running on your own machine, there is noone but you who can decide to just shut it down today, but also, in the long run, you can just take over maintenance of the software yourself, or you can buy/hire a software developer to do it for you, or you can get together with other users of the software to hire a developer.

Also, more generally, with regards to open interfaces/protocols rather than necessarily free software: No, email cannot be "shut down" because "the unpaid developers burn out". And changing my email client or server or hosting service does not necessitate everyone else I want to communicate with to do the same.

None of that guarantees that you can keep using things indefinitely at an arbitrarily low price, but that's besides the point: The price is determined by a market, and not by a (quasi-)monopoly.

> A lot of people reasonably believe that 'free' solutions are inherently riskier, all else being equal, because (generally) no one is being compensated to maintain and support it.

Well, yeah, those people are just clueless, if only because they confuse freedom with not paying for something. If you want to have something maintained, how about you pay for it? How does it make any sense to say that you prefer being forced to pay for something because you otherwise fear that it's not being maintained if you don't pay for it?

Also, none of this has anything to do with open protocols (which was the primary topic of this thread, kindof): Microsoft is being paid very well for maintaining Outlook and Exchange, which is both proprietary software. They still speak SMTP with the rest of the world, instead of forcing everyone to buy Outlook and Exchange to be able to communicate with their users.

EPB wants to build the infrastructure for free. There would still be a monthly cost to use the infrastructure. With Comcast, it's the worst of both worlds.
It goes 6+ months without a peep from the developer.

There was a time when that was the case, but for quite a while now we've been seeing frequent releases.
I meant that as a general statement, not a challenge to you specifically. I wish I'd phrased it more kindly, because dismissing criticisms as "hatred" and implying that non-technical users don't care about battery life are the sort of thing I'm advocating against.

>> What made Wayland unsuitable to be used on mobiles?

From the old blogs it sounds like they really wanted buffer memory allocation done in the server/compositor due to limitations on some ARM GPUs. Wayland was never about resource allocation and doesn't want to be. One of the complaints about X was that it had a bunch of OS features like memory management, font rendering, etc. At a high level I agree that it seems dumb to have memory management in the display server, but that just in principle. In practice I can't say if the mobile concerns would be best addressed with Mir or Wayland, but I think it has been addressed in both. You can run Wayland on RasberryPi after all.
Yes, but that's not CUDA, just the basic acceleration.

For CUDA supported are Windows, Linux, Mac OSX

https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
This can go the other way as well. If developers can target WSL and run on both Linux and Windows it increases their user base. This could end up making it easier for users to move away from Windows since one of the big hurdles is software compatibility.
This happens in the U.S., too.

Indeed that's what I meant, perspective of a tourist, sorry for not being clear.

I have no need to look for work in US, Switzerland provides superior environment to me. No business travels there either. It's a shame really, since both countries have a lot to offer for tourists, but for me personally, the choice is clear.

And yes, for an european, even back in 2004 when I visited US for 3 months on work&travel, it felt very much like a police state. I presume according to all I've ever read/heard situation got only worse since then.
But the municipal option is willing to expand of it's own accord if allowed, while Comcast and AT&T will receive $40 million to build infrastructure and still charge customers.
Answering myself: curl has supported HTTP/2 since 2013.
This is not a technical issue. This is pure ly a political issue. Allow me to explain why I say so.

This purported "open challenge" is an response to the current political drama staged by the opposition parties crying foul over lost elections.

In UP, the current ruling party sweeped with a thumping majority. (325/403)

But, the same Congress and AAP that were defeated to nil in UP, got significant and in fact leading number of seats in Punjab - 77/117 and went on to form the government. AAP got to form the Govt in Delhi in the last elections.

In Manipur and Goa - Congress got 28 and 17 respectively and was the single largest party. It is another story that they were not able to muster enough strength to form the government. [1]

So, basically, they cry foul in UP accusing the machines were rigged. But, they happily accept the same machines' verdict in Punjab and form the govt and conveniently ignore the fact that in two other states the same machines gave them the single largest party status.

What election commission is trying to do is to prove their parity across parties, which you can see from the above results. Election Commission is an independent body in India and cannot be influenced or rigged towards one or other party of which the opposition is accusing them of unfairly.

Having said that, yes, any system is hackable may be, people can try. But, hey, at least EC is open about it and cannot be accused of favouring any one entity. It can be thought of as a hackathon and if someone finds a bug, they will fix it.

We have some info on our docs here: https://docs.nstack.com/en/latest/features/index.html (See the composition section at the top).

Composition is a simple technique to build functions out of multiple simpler functions. It's heavily used in Functional programming but we think it's really useful for everyone, particularly data workers who might be gluing together lots of different modules/libraries/systems. We also use types to help check that functions can compose - this can catch schema mismatch errors early rather than waiting until you run your data pipeline to realise that the output of one function isn't _quite_ what your second function expects.

Wikipedia as some more detailed info on function composition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_composition_(computer...
What looks particularly complex about HTTP/2?

The "simple" text based protocols are NOT simple to implement correctly. Go try out line-wrapping and play with using \r\n vs \r vs \n as line endings and tell me what the compatibility ends up like.

And this does create real-world security problems. Some VoIP companies allow you to make free calls by screwing with their SIP proxies because popular software handles line endings differently allowing you to make their edge software interpret packets differently than their core.

Even parsing is easier in a nice binary format (and much, much, faster, too).
That's one of my favorite repos to point colleagues to who feel overwhelmed by modern front-end development. Doesn't get bogged down in tooling or implementation details and explains at a high level the problems all these libraries are trying to solve.

It's a good foundation to crudely explain the pieces. React-Redux connected components are responsible for domino 1, Redux reducers domino 2, effects libraries like sagas/thunks/observables domino 3, selectors/getters for domino 4, React and the VDOM abstracting most of the concerns domino 5 and 6 away from you.

Obviously not perfect, but feels like it helps with choice angst a bit.
Competition is good. I have no particular affinity for Apple being "#1" on a list -- I much prefer there being several companies constantly one-upping each other to make more laptops that suit my current and future needs.
Babur is not first Muslim ruler, first battle of panipat was 1527 (or near that year), he fought against Delhi Sultanate, which is already Muslim.

Babur was king of Fergana Valley, and half-turkic and half-mongol, who lost his kingdom because of logistic blunder and was invited to India by a Prince and thus started his campaign in South Asia.

He did destroy a Temple (which already survived about 5 centuries of Islamic rulers) and built the mosque, the mosque was not being used since 1949 or so, and Hindus were praying on the grounds since mid-80s.
After 38 years of commercial programming, 15 of them remote, here's the thing that almost no one talks about: working remotely actually benefits the company much more that the programmer. Here's why:

1. Profitability manufacturing something increases dramatically when lowering overhead and driving direct labor. Direct labor in software are the programmers. Time spent programming (usually) produces product. Time spent not programming flushes money down the toilet. I have never found a better way to increase the direct labor / overhead ratio than by working remotely.

2. Proper process building software can give geometric increases in value. Things like business requirements, technical specifications, test plans, UAT, QA, project management, etc. When programmers are in the office, it's just too easy for managers and analysts to "wave their hands" and "call a meeting". Too often, that's their answer to everything. The meetings rarely serve their (ususally undefined) purpose. They give the appearance of progress without the progress. Problem #1: You've just wasted a little bit of your programmers' time. Problem #2: You will waste a whole lot more of their time at the other end when things aren't right.

3. Workingly remotely enforces discipline. Things need to be written down. It's hard to peer review meeting notes or Skype recordings. Specs, reqs, test plans, etc. need to be documented and reviewed BEFORE wasting programmer time. I generally try to turn down any meeting or Skype without something in writing. (Skype / Webex is just another way for managers to waste programming resources that doesn't feel as bad as a physical meeting.)

I have hard data via thousands of tickets over the years to say that working remotely has easily made me at least twice as productive. Mainly by getting others to leave me alone and to drag them kicking and screaming into the 21st century by doing their jobs. The most important job of someone who doesn't program? Enabling those who do.

The main reason I love remote is not because of my home office, or short commute, or good 4-legged company, or working in my underwear, or anything else about me. It's because I have never found a better way to get shit done.
But without ReSharper, Visual Studio (at least the community edition) can't refactor almost anything.
One Interesting quirk we found with Nvidia cards was the CPU-GPU transfer speed was affected by how many physical CPUs you had.

I assumed it was because with newer intel CPUs the PCI bridge moved to the die, away from the motherboard, so there was CPU affinity for the GPU.

The difference in bandwidth was around 15%

To be completely honest, if this is an issue, that person probably shouldn't be using patreon at all.

I submit that your statement relies on an unfounded premise (at least from my scan of this thread) that wonderous works for the company.

Also, by your standard, if wonderous doesn't work for said company, he's still complying with your "standard." Yet, you're still making an implicit accusation.

The purpose of my initial comment was to address the potshot accusation of astroturfing after, IMHO, wonderous had responded in good faith.

I spent the last weekend in another city X. I took with me my macbook but I didn’t used it, so it was closed in sleep mode the whole time.

However, I did some searches over the weekend on my iPhone, Safari in private mode, not logged in.

Back home, opened the macbook, did some search with an incognito browser window. And Google told me: You are in another city X, based on your browser history (!).

What?! Privacy is hard nowadays.
For reference, with EPB 100M is $60/mo, 1G is $70/mo, and 10G is $300/mo. EPB is hugely popular here in Chattanooga, not just because of the internet speeds, but for stellar customer service.

It was almost unanimous. This coverage talks about it in a totally different way.
I understand the overall point of the article is about memory blocking cpu; but the author uses the idea of instruction through-put instruction-memory/cycle a way to show that the throughput isn't enough just to execute code. So in order to make that argument, you'd have to look at the instruction through-put without the assumption of memory accesses slowing you down.

Otherwise the point comparing cpu speed vs memory speed is moot, if you start with the assumption that cpu speed is bound by memory speed to begin with.

Unfortunately I'm just about to give up on elementary because of its bugginess. In my experience, running on well-supported hardware, it has frequent long pauses booting up, serious problems with suspend, failures to install with the new appcenter, and a few other small issues.

I support the theory of elementary (UI/designer led, unified HIGs, encouraging payment for development of the OS and the general ecosystem, and the emphasis on polished, hassle-free computing) but in practice it's just not there. They need to sort out bugs before taking on new features/designs.

I'm actually just considering what distribution to recommend to an inexperienced user. I would recommend elementary in a heartbeat if serious bugs were fixed within weeks, instead they go on for years.

I had dry eyes (although I never noticed it) going into the procedure, and while I'm healing I put artificial tears in at night and a couple times during the day. It's well worth it to be able to not have to mess with glasses to put my motorcycle helmet on. If one had really bad dry eyes after correction one could get tear wells put in. If one had too dry of eyes before the doctor would recommend against the procedure.
Agree with that. It's more about the flexibility than anything else. Sometimes, I really need to work out of the house. Other times, I'd prefer to be in the office.

A lot of it depends on what type of work you're doing. If there's a lot of cross communication...office is WAY better. If it's "slap on the headphones and go full code monkey" it doesn't really make a difference where you are.
And this differs from nginx how, exactly? Since it also "has modules"... So since nginx has modules it requires nginx to "parse a lot of information from the request, and make them available and editable in variables. This gives a lot of flexibility but it has a performance costs." ??

This is what people are not understanding. Flow lints your code, then removes the types, leaving you with valid ES6 that is EXACTLY your source code without the types. Typescript is fundamentally different -- it transpiles your code and you cannot make assumptions about what that code looks like. They are not the exact same thing by any metric.

At work for windows/Mac machines I use Webroot, after an infection though I will run superantispyware or malwarebytes from an external media device (they seem to have a higher detection rate). I usually run a software side firewall like tinywall on Windows or littlesnitch on Mac just to see what's making requests in the background. Interestingly enough at work Macs receive a lot more detections per machine then windows boxes these days.
