Fork if you don't like it.

That's the whole point of free software.

Edit: I find it disturbing that so many people want to erase hacker culture from the internet. Consensus is a Bay Area idea, one that came quite late to the world of computers, and one that many of us disagree with.
Why Can’t China Make Semiconductors?
Most "terminals" just use libvte, which, true, doesn't support most control commands, including OSC 52[1].

However, xterm supports it, alacritty supports it, hterm and many others...

A stock Chromebook[2] supports OSC 52, and practically every Linux distro has options. For OSX, I know iTerm supports it if you enable the clipboard integration toggle under preferences.

A bigger issue here, though, is a recent discussion about removing support for control sequences, in general[3] for many terminals that use libvte. Some view them as a vulnerability, but others view them as a feature.[4]

Given his penchant for offensive, inappropriate humor, and how little tolerance the modern FOSS community has for such in the prevailing political atmosphere, this is not a hill RMS wants to die on. Save the rank pulls for something really important, Richard.

...so if a company doesn't want to sponsor content about guns, the legality of guns is irrelevant. YouTube hooks product creators with content creators they want to work with, that's their business. Now if YouTube doesn't want to host certain content at all, even if no product creators want to advertise with them, THAT seems ethically questionable.
Greenplum provides powerful and rapid analytics on petabyte scale data volumes
The thing is, the OP has already explained that the value of Twitter to their project is the large number of people on that platform. It's great that you find Mastodon valuable, I do too - but it simply doesn't have enough users to generate the network effects required.

To build on your analogy, your distinction between stick shift and automatic in your car is not relevant to the person who needs a pickup truck to haul a large load. It misses the point of what the OP is trying to achieve in the first place.
These comments suggest "just" setting up non-cloud solutions without addressing any of the drawbacks of these approaches.

- Schools rarely have the resources or technical expertise to maintain something like roaming profiles.

- If students have issues with their machine they are essentially locked out of their files (the alternative with Chromebooks and cloud solutions is to just use a different machine, which most students have available in some form).

- Students will lose files when the machine is re-imaged, unless they've synced recently (with Chromebooks files are usually synced shortly after going online).

- Syncing files with a roaming profile usually requires VPN access which is even more infrastructure to set up, maintain, teach students about etc.

- Re-imaging machines is a far more common experience with Windows than it is on a Chromebook, particularly with nosy kids messing with things.

- Data exfiltration is a much more serious risk with machine in the wild like this than it is on a cloud service (most kids have less-than-perfect opsec)

Look, ultimately if you're against using Google services like Drive, Classroom, etc. that's fine. Put up realistic alternatives that work in a modern world. But suggesting that students move to Windows and Office to accomplish these goals smacks of it-was-good-enough-for-us-ism.
It sounds similar. I stopped doing it years ago after seeing too many close calls. But I live in an area where other people don't exactly accommodate the behavior.
>to all comers

Isn't this a category error?

The gay couple's cake is a category of _people_ being refused service.[1]

The gun assembly video is a category of _topic_ being censored.

You can can discriminate against topics and simultaneously not discriminate against people. As an example of juxtapositions... a "gun rights owner" can upload a video of "iphone disassembly" and the video will not be deleted. On the other hand, a gun-control advocate who wants to ban gun ownership can show a video about "gun assembly" and the video will be removed. It's the topic not the people. Businesses have exercised editorial control over topics for hundreds of years. Same as The New York Times or website forums where users "upload" words such as HN. If you submit a topic to HN that goes against the moderator's rules, it will be flagged and deleted. It doesn't matter if the HN user is gay or gun-control or any protected group.

That’s the really odd thing in this situation. The maintainers all seem to want to remove it, and the project governance says the maintainers are supposed to decide based on the quorum.

RMS just over ruled that. Because it was his joke and he felt like it.

Which seems like it goes against the whole “community“ thing.
We definitely do allow Google to censor homosexual content. LGBTQ videos and any video coming anywhere near issues that affect those communities were among the very first videos to be censored. Prior to the fictional 'adpocalypse', YouTube wasn't so heavy handed with it, but their Blogger platform always has been.
In British Columbia, the speed limit is defined as the maximum speed limit when the road is bare and dry and visibility is good. From the driver's guidebook[1]:
>Aim for a speed that’s appropriate for the conditions in which
you are driving. The posted speed is the maximum for ideal
conditions only. Choose a slower speed if the conditions are
not ideal — for instance, if the roads are slippery or visibility
is limited.

If a driver was driving too fast to react and stop without hitting that deer, then that driver was driving too quickly.

It might be helpful to highlight the following distinction:

In the case of putting a message on a cake, an individual human has to effectively perform a deliberate action which may seem to express an opinion (potentially one which they do not share), whereas in the case of a big tech company, the default state is for their software to allow any customer to express any opinion with their own comment, and it is only the deliberate act of censorship/moderation that involves the conscious decision of an employee.

If a baker had an "automatic cake decorating machine", but they checked what messages you had put on your cake before allowing you to leave their bakery with the result, then that would be a closer comparison.
If Stallman cared for what hill the mainstream thought he should die on he'd still be hacking lisp/emacs at MIT.

Him being completely irrational about pet causes is the reason why we have an opensource community today. I trust him a whole lot more than anyone else in FOSS, including all the glibc developers put together.
It sounds like the opposite of that -- letting the left turn car go before both sides move, rather than after both sides finish.

The behaviour you just described is what everyone does in Michigan. The Pittsburgh left sounds friendlier, but more risk prone to people who don't expect it or respect it.

Isn't this a symptom of a lack of tooling?

Only a few people need to know all the details. We have many developers that know absolutely nothing how this stuff works. They only know that they push code, and a container falls off the other side, which can even be installed automatically.

Also, you don't need sidecars. Add a k8s ingress, or even deploy a separate nginx that will do this for you (we use the second option). Developers do not care.

I'm starting to think that minikube is an anti-pattern.
That's right, and we definitely have several ideas in mind!
What you should know about database storage and retrieval
There is a perfect solution to the problem, in fact. Because YouTube is not a broadcast medium and instead viewing a video can only happen if the user takes active role in launching it (if the autoplay functionality is problematic it is easily disabled). Those who are offended or disgusted by certain content must actively seek it out. They must look for it, and then choose to view it. At that point, if society were to ascribe responsibility for the emotional response of the viewer with the viewer themselves rather than the creator, the problem is solved.
Or, if you're going to be subtly political (as GNU often is), at least be current.

That joke was 20-something years old. It ran its course.

Also, as far as calling LGBT rainbows "political", I would have to disagree. You either view LBGT people as equal, or you can be a hateful person. There's no good reason to pander to the latter, but plenty of reasons to stand up in unity with the former.

There are some concepts that need to be aggressively viewed as truths rather than opinions. The civil rights movement was won by people standing up and putting their own enrichment aside to say "You are wrong and we stand up in unity with the people you view as subhuman". No reason to shame anyone from doing that again today.
dang — regarding the title, thoughts on renaming the submission? I just went with the raw page title.

I'll bring Dan M over to monitor the feedback.
I wonder why you can't sell it here. They even recommend it on the government's travel site:

While RMS has undoubtedly contributed much to the FOSS community, he seems to undermine some of his core points with trivial matters.

For example, his piece "Reasons not to use Facebook"[0] contains some great points, but I find them undermined by the unnecessary usage of the word "useds"

Similarly, this seems like an extremely trival case to "exercise my authority over Glibc very rarely" as he puts it.

No, that's just another option when it comes to free software. Why not make an effort to cohere rather than disperse? Stronger together and all that.

RMS is pulling the authority card, which is always a dodgy thing to do, and people want an egalitarian project rather than an authoritarian one. Both sides need to learn when to pick a fight and when to let something pass.
Forking out any vestigal rms authority would benefit everyone.

They’re bikeshedding over whether or not to include a comment on a controversial topic. It is not relevant to the functioning of the library and is just a distraction. Rip it out and ban rms for perpetuating such idiotic drama.
This is when the concept of a "discount function" comes into play
Inside the Ecosystem That Fuels Amazon's Fake Review Problem
Maybe I just don’t have the sophistication to “get” it, but what the heck is this all about. At first glance this just seems like something childish. Someone educate me.
You have mostly disregarded the quality of the software which this discussion is focused on. Are you running Windows on your Mac? Apple's software quality isn't all that great either, they have had constant glitches the last couple releases.
Hilarious that they would censor the lines that refer to censorship and miss that entirely.
Obligatory "Mindstorms" recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/Mindstorms-Children-Computers-Powerfu...
Everyone who decided they’d rather have a giant paycheck than have fun made it happen. This site is full of people who make and made that choice, who chase VC money, and consequently have little right to complain about how corporate their working lives are.
Aside from the fact that you’re wrong (censoring people doesn’t surpress views, it only emboldens the people the hold them, and generates sympathy from others who don’t), the idea that you think you can identify ‘undesirable communities’, and that you think they should be banned is entirely tyrannical.
At the same time I think the change was overzealousness and that still it's a fair debate to have and why not remove it if they eventually reach consensus (as per their own official definition of consensus [linked somewhere in those e-mails])? It's only to show glibc still have governance problems after the Ulrich Drepper era, it has nothing to do with abort() and its possible meanings in a manual.

I work for Pivotal. PKS is our product in the Kubernetes space, co-developed with VMWare and Google. The opensource project we based PKS on is Cloud Foundry Container Runtime, CFCR.

We are basically bringing all the stuff we learned building Cloud Foundry to bear on Kubernetes. There's also an increasing amount of systems being shared. Right now Istio is seen as the long-term north-south and east-west routing solution for Cloud Foundry App Runtime (CFAR, what folks traditionally thought of as Cloud Foundry). We're looking at introducing Loggregator to the Kubernetes world as Oratos, we have factored buildpacks into standalone systems that can have a single image builder for any OCI-compliant platform, we led the formation of the Open Service Broker API effort that creates a common service catalogue approach for both CFAR and Kubernetes, we've contributed to runC and I lose track of all the rest.

When I say "we" I should say this isn't just Pivotal. IBM, SAP and SUSE are deeply involved as Cloud Foundry community members.
I believe it is in reference to the US government's (or possibly some states') policies concerning abortions.
Book publishing has a long tradition of publishing "inappropriate" content, and has never needed regulation. By contrast internet infrastructure is much more an oligopoly by nature of the technology. Much like the telephone has regulation so that someone cannot be cut off by what they say over it - so too should the internet.

For a long time the internet has followed the book publishing model. If one website won't publish your works go to another or start your own. However this model fails if upstream providers refuse to provide you the means to do this. The further upstream you go the fewer entities there are as alternatives.
If you read the waiver you have to sign before contributing anything to the fsf you surrender all your copyrights to them. This is so they can keep moving software into newer GPL versions.

The maintainers are just mechanics working on someone else's car and have as much say in choosing the interior decor.

The beauty of the system is that if they get sick of that state of affairs they get an identical copy of the car for free and can then do whatever they want to it.
The only thing more egregious than the fraud they committed was inventing vegan mayo to begin with...

You should ask your potential users this. Not with an email, but by sitting down with them and talking through the plan. You should have mockups for the flow.

If they really like you, they'll say "OK, we're willing to try an A/B test on a small sample of users. When will it be live?"

The big challenge with any kind of conversion rate improvement tool is that the difference it makes is only significant across large numbers of users. That means you have to target large companies, who tend to move slowly. Also, you have to make it easy to deploy and reliable. You'll probably need to give it away free to some medium-sized customers in order to get some data on the change in conversion rate.
It's not a leap at all. If what the OP is saying about the co-founder is true, then that's my take. People who act like the OP described are not acting in the best interest of the business. If what the OP said cannot be believed, even for the sake of argument, then there's no discussion to be had at all.
Came to say something similar. There was a discussion a couple of weeks back on Metafilter about using this technique to modify comments within Word files. Handy knowledge to have: https://ask.metafilter.com/320606/Removing-timestamps-from-c...
I don't think you can weigh "incitement" nearly as severely as an act curtailing rights to speak their mind. You are trying to equate the horrific acts of rape, enslavement, and murder, with the act of writing text on a website about such, and I do not believe those two things are equal.

There is only so far I believe you can place blame on someone. While it is obvious that you can blame someone who commits a murder for that murder, there's an increasingly tenuous attempt to blame someone who told them they should commit a murder that I do not buy into. It seems to remove the agency of the murderer to try and cast the blame onto someone else.
No need to look for the winners, just go ask the injured. Plenty of vets in the US came to their senses after getting injured chasing some foreign adventure under the guise of defense.
This linked course is part 2, so this isn't a good starting point. But part 1 is! :) Here's the link: http://course.fast.ai .

We assume you're familiar with python and somewhat familiar with numpy. If you're not sure if you're ready, you can always just start the first lesson and see how it goes. There are plenty of resources on the forum to help fill in specific skill gaps as they come up.
It’s always nice when there is some sort of consensus in the industry, however, there is one thing I worry about.

Now that there is a usable solution for complex orchestration, many newcomers will consider it the goto solution, regardless of scale. You need nginx and some python scripts? Kubernetes! You have 100 daily visitors? Kubernetes!

It’s not really their fault, it’s just a sad consequence of a convenient cloud solution.
I'm not sure I follow. What's wrong with his term?

Either people get what he's writing, and the term is irrelevant, or they don't get what he's writing, in which case I doubt that it would be because they were so distracted by a single word they couldn't focus on anything he's writing at all.

So you just don't like the term. This is fine! But you've failed to make any point.
Because GNU has always worked that way and given us some of the best software ever written.
And you physically cannot get a piano tuned perfectly, since with different intervals, you'd need individual notes to be tuned slightly different.

With a guitar, you can at least still try to correct it by putting your finger down somewhat closer or farther away.
I hope it is a future that comes to pass. It would be amazing to buy a seat on a huge-ass rocket and take a trip to space and back. That's so far been only the realm of astronauts and billionaires.

The Santa Clara principles are already outdated. Most large sites use learning algorithms to promote content that is advertiser friendly. So for example, if advertisers on Youtube don't like the content you watch you'll be shown less of it. This has massive implications for politics, communities, and news.

It also works the other way around. Content creators on youtube are feeling the pressure of having their videos delisted. So they have to match their content to what advertisers want to show. It's censorship by robot.

The Santa Clara principles are a great step in the right direction. But things are getting harder, and more complicated.
The old PHP costs money. I know a company that realized that they could cut their operational costs significantly by upgrading PHP code from 2005 or so just because newer PHP is faster and they can get better utilization via microservices.
If this anecdote is credible (and I don't see any reason it wouldn't be) then in four years this kid will ask, "What are you reading?" and then the father will say what he's reading - and then sheepishly as for help from the ten year-old on the part he's stuck on.

I mean this kid is clearly superlatively gifted.
I work for Pivotal, we directly compete with Red Hat.

Look: they're Red Hat, I mean c'mon now. If you don't think they have great engineers then I'd hate to hear what you think of the rest of us.

These websites are not usually intended for you or I. They're intended to get the interest of the cheque-signers. Enterprise software is a very particular world and it has its particular cadences and norms and approaches. Red Hat understands it well. So does Pivotal. That's why we see so much of each other at a number of places where folks are looking to adopt modern platforms.

Writing an essay to persuade someone means talking to them on their terms. If you start off with the "Micro$oft"s and the "Windoze"s you're going to lose the people you want to reach, especially when it reeks of childish namecalling.
The term "it-was-good-enough-for-us-ism" suggests that this is somehow an improvement, and it is not. My whole concern is that we are making things worse for future generations. You are dismissing a cost that is incredibly high: Giving all of our kids' data to Google, and allowing Google to instill in them a believe that they can be trusted with it.

Many of your specific "drawbacks" rely on specific implementations you can think of, that fall far short of the actual capabilities of a vast number of competing options. Google is not the only company to have invented syncing files.
Which was quite sensibly flagged. This is better written but equally silly.
A nuclear power plant will take 10 years to come online, and will last for about 50 years. You then have the transmission problems, toxic waste problem and risks. I'm willing to largely ignore the toxic waste and risks because they are addressing a far bigger problem. So let's call them negligible (even though they aren't) and I still think nuclear today is a hard case to make. Getting these approved are large capital expenditures of around $9 billion that come online all at once. Then you have the transmission problems as mentioned.

I have not done the math but it seems that it would be faster, and more politically tenable to use decentralised solar virtual power plants and wind such that individual households become largely responsible for their own power and act in concert as the grid supplier and battery.

The main thing preventing this seems to be capital investment, regulation and political will.
Here is a mantra every programmer should repeat every morning:

>RMS was right.

It doesn't matter what the topic, or how insane what he says sounds. He is always right and you're just not developed enough to understand why that's the case.
Is that really a problem though? The entire history of software development is just building on one layer of abstraction over another. Is it sad that people these days don't write their own web server for new projects?
That's not really what tends to happen with deer. The situation starts with them on one side of the road deciding to cross. Then the partway through they freeze. There's often not time to react. Deer are very poorly adapted to dealing with roads. They're camouflaged which makes them hard to see. And while freeze is a perfectly good strategy against wolves, it absolutely sucks against a Buick.
> I find most people are naive of the problem especially in the west coast states, unless they spend a lot of time outdoors either recreationally, or landscaping, gardening, ranching, farming, hunting, etc.

I find that most people who spend a lot of time outdoors are also naive about Lyme. I can't count the number of people here in BC who've told me that Lyme doesn't exist here (medical doctors included). The employees at REI asked me why I was buying permethrin just to use in BC. They said Lyme isn't a concern here.
