The project with open source code can be improved by anyone.

The project with closed source code can remain terrible forever even if there are programmers willing to improve it.

Here's an example:
Looking for a WebExtention alternative to greasemonkey on Firefox. (I know a port is being worked on, but let's ignore that for now)

Your options are tampermonkey (closed source), and violentmonkey (open source)

Tampermonkey has been around longer, and probably has more features. Which do I choose?

I choose violentmonkey, because for all I know tampermonkey's code is garbage, and full of spyware. If violentmonkey doesn't meet my requirements, I can make it meet my requirements by coding the feature myself, or paying someone to add the feature.

It can be blamed fairly directly at the news selling your attention for advertisements. If they can frighten you they can get you to watch, and the attention of worrying parents has quite a bit of value.

It's been common in Japan since before the second world war.

My wife, who went to school in Japan, says it's seen as a good thing, to encourage independence.

There's a popular TV show, where they follow small kids (maybe 4 or 5?) on their first "trip alone" to do a chore, obviously they're being followed by a camera crew. But the TV show promotes kids taking responsibility for themselves (and it's cute of course).

The US is just seen as a much more dangerous country than Japan. I mean, it actually does have a higher crime rate.

Sorry, this is all purely anecdotal. But I believe it to be the general case (would as always love to see data).
Agreed. I couldn't care less about Fox or CNN's editorializing. I prefer to formulate my own opinions based on documented, boring facts.
Exactly. Actually suing someone for a human rights violation is very, very hard. It's expensive and the court can (and often does) just refuse to take cases.
There was mention of this concept in Ringworld (Larry Niven, 1970).
If I recall it was what destroyed the society in the books, because the bacteria got out of hand and started breaking down critical technology and infrastructure, and basically brought about a complete social collapse on the ring world..
The two times I have been with people with fake ish service dogs it made me way more anxious in public. I do not want to stand out. I would not want the stares or attention from a dog where it is unwelcome, cannot understand that these people actually feel better pissing people off.
This concept is cool (the specific matchups may need refinement).

Is there a way to show the diff?
> It’s not hard or complex to get working initially, or maintain, which is not true of makefiles

Again, [citation needed].

I use Makefiles in a variety of projects:

- building Vagrant base boxes

- building environment-specific configuration for LAMP-ish CRUD apps

- testing and building a range of shell-script based packages

Does Make have some warts? Sure, everything does. I'm not claiming it's perfect.

But it's a far sight clearer - to me at least - what's going on with a Makefile.

Makefiles also don't need to be replaced by something new in 6 months because the entire community has decided that its time for a new tool to do basically the same thing, solve 1 problem with the old tool and introduce 5 new ones.

You certainly can only use systemd's pid1 together with ntpd (systemd only does SNTP, not full-blown NTP) and no caching resolver.

In fact it's the default in most Linux distributions. The only mandatory pieces if you use systemd as pid1 are udevd and journald.

Misinformation like this is exactly why Brendan said you should ask an actual user of systemd.

While I can write down D-H key exchange and ElGamal without thinking too hard, there's no guarantee when I do so that I will be using the same letters for the same components as you have here. So I'd have to work out the bijection between the letter you've used and the letters I've used, and it all becomes a lot of work, and just obscures the point.

Why don't you (assuming you're the author, based on your username and the author's name) either include the definition, or at least give a pointer to a definition that uses the notation you are using?

The result of not doing so is that I've read this and thought: That will be a lot of work to interpret.

> but should it be necessary for employers to explicitly express that the use of company resources may be monitored?

Yes. Legally, in Europe, the expectation is that communication is private, and if you want to listen in, you need to get permission. Owning and operating telecommunication equipment does not give you the right to listen to its users.
What I find interesting is that the second paragraph starts with:

>They point to how past major transformations in work tasks and labor markets – specifically the Industrial Revolution during the 18th and 19th centuries – did not lead to major social upheaval or widespread suffering.

Which is then followed by this in the 4th paragraph:

>The aftermath of the Industrial Revolution involved two major Communist revolutions, whose death toll approaches 100 million.
Not just that bacteria can use electricity for communication, but DNA also has the computing power of a neural network. Imagine every cell with the intelligence of a neural net of many thousands of neurons (= to the number number of genes).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_regulatory_network

> In single-celled organisms, regulatory networks respond to the external environment, optimising the cell at a given time for survival in this environment.

> Genes can be viewed as nodes in the network, with input being proteins such as transcription factors, and outputs being the level of gene expression. The value of the node depends of a function which depends in the value of its regulators in previous time steps (in the Boolean network described below these are Boolean functions, typically AND, OR, and NOT). These functions have been interpreted as performing a kind of information processing within the cell, which determines cellular behavior. The basic drivers within cells are concentrations of some proteins, which determine both spatial (location within the cell or tissue) and temporal (cell cycle or developmental stage) coordinates of the cell, as a kind of "cellular memory".

I already happily pay taxes thanks towards healthcare where I live but the benefits stop at the arbitrary border of the country I live in.

There are many countries in the world without free health service, Watsi is helping spread that around the world. I don't think supporting watsi somehow precludes or reinvents paying taxes, so your comment is unfounded.
A client for offline use could be interesting? Is there an App for Windows or Mac to go with?
Any accusation is "not yet proven". There can be only two states of any accusation: "not yet proven" and "proven". The one about hacking the election has never been the latter, and never will be. I think there's a time where you have to give up on "not yet" and accept the reality. For some people it takes years or decades or never, of course.

> there are a remarkable number of people around Trump with ties to shady Russian businessmen

There are remarkable number of people around anything in US politics with "ties to shady Russian businessmen". Ever heard, for example, of Podesta Group? Google who they are and who were among their clients. Check out who of the former presidents spoke at Russian Renaissance Capital bank for $500K. Hint: his initials are WJC.

The reason is simple - Russian oligarchy has tons of money and interests in the USA. So there would be a lot of people willing to take that money and be around people with influence to prove that they deserve that money.

That, however, has zero relation to "not yet proven" claim that somebody "hacked election". Because it... Did. Not. Happen.

> It may not have been a direct hack of the election either, more the use of Russian intelligence bot operations running an extremely effective social media campaign.

In other words, not a hack at all. Otherwise any troll band from 4chan is "hacking elections".

Reading a chart yes, but that's because (IMO) reading is harder than making one. For example, no matter how much someone would explain, I could never understand the relationship between an angle and a sine wave, until I had a teacher made me draw a circle and an x/y axis alongside each other and project the line in the circle onto that axis. I still don't think one can really explain this without resorting to describing what happens visually. But again, maybe that's just me.
No, it's useless to read an article which starts with a blatant lie.
> Even such a simple use case is fraught with major problems:

> 1. who allocates needed memory?

> 2. who free's it?

That's also a major feature. It allows people to write systems that are resilient in the face of tight memory limitations. It's not cool when a language forces string operations to allocate & duplicate memory willy-nilly.

> 3. can the compiler constant fold cat("hello","world") ? Does the result wind up allocating memory anyway?

I fail to see how that's a major problem. Why are you concatenating string literals? How common is that?

> 4. what about the lack of function overloading to handle the permutations?

I consider lack of overloading to be a feature. Overloading is one of the things that are way too easily abused, and it makes code auditing harder than it needs to be. Please just type out the different function names so I can see exactly what is going to be called when I read the code. Or use the sprintf family of variadic functions.
Renters insurance continues the payments on the property, maintaining their legal claims in the event of disasters, which was the suggestion I was responding to: that renters not have to pay _anything_ in situations like this.

Floods and other natural disasters tend to sneak past most common insurance coverage...

Regardless, the underlying demands for payment, and to what extent, as posited by OP and detailed by the local laws, are not addressed by insurance alone.

The article is focused on explaining the design pattern, while Redux is influenced by the pattern.

From my understanding, Redux shares the actor/messaging pattern when dispatching events to the reducers, but the state in Redux tends to be centralized (you usually have one main store, but you can create other stores if you want), while in the Actor pattern, each object has it's own state.

Also, in Redux, information flows only in one direction: component => reducer => state. The Actor pattern seems to allow for actors to message each other back and forth.
The only problem with Elon's idea is that general AI does not exist and there is no theoretical framework at present for developing it. Even limited AI is mostly an over-hyped pile of crap.

This is comparable to Elon's plan to retire on Mars. There is so much basic science to be done before it is feasible that it doesn't make sense to promulgate it as if it is an imminent reality.
> Similarly, I think that it is very possible that limiting societal exposure to pets (starting from the childhood in the pet prohibiting apartments and going into pet-free school/workplace and other places) would condemn even more people to develop and suffer from condition like yours.

That's not how it works. I had cats and dogs and allergy shots growing up. Still super allergic in my 30s.

People choose to have pets. We didn't choose allergies. Leave the animals at home.
They do that with their parents too.
If only managers could understand that putting the screws on workers leads to worse results. More bugs, more staff turnover, more absences, more arguments.

I'm skeptical that this is actually as big a reason people don't want to open-source their code as you assume.

In any case, there are good solutions for it.

Firstly, if you know from the start that you're going to open source the code, then you'll make more of an effort than (perhaps) usual to ensure that the code is well-organised, well-tested and elegant. At least within your current level of competence, but that's all anyone can hope to do in any case.

Some humility is also required in my opinion. I know many people subscribe to a fake-it-until-you-make-it philosophy, and there's some value in that, but when it comes to open sourcing your code, it's good to check your ego and to be open to suggestions and criticism. There will always be people who are more knowledgeable and better than you at certain things. Best IMO is to accept this (and their criticism if you're lucky enough to receive it) and to see you how can learn from them and improve.

BTW, I speak from some experience. I have had some nominally embarrassing experiences with OSS where other people highlighted relatively obvious security issues with code that I wrote and which I thought was of high quality. However, in turn I got free QA from knowledgeable people and in the process the code improved further as I fixed the problems.

Also, as some people have mentioned already. OSS that is popular gets improved all the time. I.e. if you're lucky, and your code doesn't languish in obscurity, then you'll get patches and pull requests to improve your code.

So the way out of the dilemma... if you're really just being held back because you fear criticism and ridicule, is to ignore the fear, be humble, and to still open-source (perhaps after doing some cleanup, but not to the extent that you use it as a crutch to avoid open-sourcing).

You'll probably realize that the fear was totally unfounded or in the least exaggerated.
Thanks.

Would try to tweak some colors.

SO = family. I would honestly be very surprised if even you would be game to tell him/her that they are only on the level of importance to you as one of your dogs. Or that if there were a fire, you'd be rushing out the door with a dog and leaving your partner to the flames...

While I'd say "nice try" at trying to imply some sort of assumption and claim a diversity moral high ground, children are not the only kind of family (nor even did anything in my post even mention children), and whatever relations or friends you might have, yes I absolutely would hope that you would consider their needs as more important than those of your pets.

"To suggest that wanting to live in nature is to want to destroy it is a bit extreme."

Well no, they don't want to, but they do it anyway - in the aggregate. Look, a single person living in a forest isn't damaging it; it's when many people want to do so, and actually do it, and the infrastructure required to live such a low-density lifestyle. The equilibrium is that almost all inhabitable land had people scattered all across it, along with a few high density cities for those who rather live close to people than have lots of room. But even those want to go to resorts in 'nature' on the weekends, so they still disturb and on the larger scale destroy natural habitats.

If you really care about nature, you go live in a city, and you stay away from nature as much as possible (with the exception of some reserves that could be designated 'nature recreation' areas; I'm not saying nobody should ever be in a forest).

Of course from the individual choice point of view it's more complicated; prisoners dilemma and all. My point is - if you live in a forest, you don't like nature (or at least, you're not doing your best to protect it); you like living in nature, which is different. And it's fine, I understand - but don't pretend you're protecting natural areas by living in them because you're the only one on your 10 acres. You're contributing to the destruction of habitats, biodiversity and most other measures of 'health of natural systems'.
