In absolute terms it's not a large number of people; the article says a few hundred, but undoubtedly they are undercounted.

"Tent cities" are an increasing problem. Council estates have been sold off gradually and are now seriously over-subscribed.
They're working on Dark Mode support for File Explorer soon: https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-finally-adding-dark...

More and more of Windows 10 is Modern UI-based with each passing release, so each release includes more and more dark mode support.
According this snippet from a Smarter Every Day video it would appear that NASA doesn't port their software to newer hardware during a particular mission (in this case Chandra X-Ray):

Yes. 100% yes. Microsoft didn't care about their reputation for a long time. They currently do, at least a little, but that could change back.

Github was losing money, but that's pretty typical for SaaS businesses. I have no reason to think they couldn't have gotten to break-even. And if the can't get to break even, I have no reason to think Microsoft will subsidize them indefinitely.
Here's a great Chome extension, by the way
Honestly, the name is a problem. If you read "free software", you will think of free as in gratis. Nobody thinks about freedom there, because of that its not popular.
7 billion dollars? And how should they explain that to the shareholders. What they will hopefully do: run it like it but do not make it official.
The map is the territory for belief about belief though, sometimes, if people choose to agree.

You can believe things about how people think and this can affect how people think. Sometimes precisely, such as in the case of a mental illness diagnosis a person may have been indoctrinated into believing is their identity, sometimes generally, chaotically, without direct transmission perfectly.

I'd compare Machiavellian motivations here, belief about belief with the intent to control comes from the desire to control and rule through thinking, but the domination of thought/behavior of individuals through one's thoughts alone... people eventually become aware of intents, if there's always that imbalance. The problem often stems from assuming one has earned the right to dominate and another must do X,Y,Z to earn respect. Quite frankly, humans from birth to death and every point in between are equivalently autonomous and worthy of being able to think the way they want to, without having to do anything to have earned such a right. Thinking otherwise is a good example of being wrong and clever in a way that can be quite haunting.

I think these kinds of validations get conflated with hard data. Often, it is a lot easier to just listen to people and let them believe what they want to. Gotta trust people to come to their own conclusions independently.

In the age of machine learning, behavior shaping, I think a lot of this is quite topical.
The phrase "free software" predates "open source" by over a decade. It is of similar vintage to terms like "shareware".

Any phrase that you use will require explanation.

That said, you also see it called "libre software". Or you see it with the catchphrase, "Think free as in speech, not beer."
It depends on what freedom. GPL isn't free; it's handcuffware. It's "freedom" on someone else's terms. BSD is a truly free license whereas GPL is an attempt at an anti-capitalist license model.
“Civil software” is simple, accurate, sounds good, and is relatively unambiguous. It would get my vote
As a professional arranger and composer, I can confirm that this is indeed unconvincing and disappointing (although I will admit to being mildly impressed by some of the generated orchestra textures, but only because this is coming from a computer program, not because they are actually good).
Exactly, so I am not sure why wrappers to native pointers are Serializable.
Android still has a great edge by offering Multiple user feature on their tablets (rip?) and phones. Unless you have an iPad and iPhone for each child, or only have one child, the iOS management features are still not flexible enough.
I honestly prefer either FLOSS or just libre software, but I guess I'm biased :)

CBOR is MessagePack. At least cbor-ruby started with the MessagePack sources. The story is that Carsten took MessagePack, wrote a standard and added some things he wanted, and called it something else.

I wrote [1] a pretty comprehensive (and admittedly biased) critique of the CBOR standard last year.

It's open source, and it's an alternative to git (or at least claims to be, I haven't tried it myself). It's not inaccurate, though it could be misleading if one doesn't already know that Git is open source itself.
How iOS 12 will affect push notifications
By that time you will have a microsoft login to access github and that after 15 downloads you pay 9.99 for premium.

Its time to get everything off Github right away.
1. free source

2. open format for import export of data

3. api interface to services.

4. forkable open protocols file formats
We already have Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) which is designed to emphasize such things. I don't think Yet Another Buzzword™ is going to help.

It's also worth noting that the issue of "free" versus "freedom" is an English-language-specific confusion and not quite as much of a problem in other languages (cf. German, "gratis" meaning no-cost vs "Freiheit" for freedom). That's partially why Stallman chose to use the Spanish term "libre" to help obviate some of that confusion.
Apple will let developers port iOS apps to macOS in 2019
The News, Stocks, Voice Memos and Home apps were brought to Mac using iOS frameworks that have been adapted to macOS. Starting in late 2019, these additional frameworks will make it easier for developers to bring their iOS apps to macOS — providing new opportunities for developers and creating more apps for Mac users to enjoy.

Looks like UIKit is the future, despite protestations to the contrary.
I am not asking for you trust, I am committed to earning it.

That’s some badass line.
> The trick to being happy all the time is doing new things that make you happy all the time.

Achieving "Financial Independence" -- when a portfolio meets all basic income needs -- can greatly enable this. The question is why people postpone their own "freedom" in favor of little wins now like trying expensive restaurants, etc.
Does anyone know where the hardware support is listed?
Why is this a bad thing? They’ve might have started something but grant them they ability to change. Their intentions now matter.
Obviously Microsoft doesn't want or need two open source editors. I think the smart move would be what I call the Adobe strategy.

Github should announce that Atom has become an Apache foundation project. Github then says it will provide x number of developers for an initial three year period. Probably won't make everyone happy but it should defuse most of the angst.
All this, but they still implement the anti-pattern of only allowing Siri to control their own music App. I'm skipping this OS update.
Interesting note at the end about News, Stocks, Voice Memos in that they were "ported" from iOS versions with "some minor code changes".

If that's the whole story, it would be pretty nice to be able to make apps that work on both platforms with only a few source differences.
"Software which respects the moral positions of people like those in the Free Software Foundation" seems like an inherently complicated concept, that's not really amenable to a one or two word summary.
Not if you're trying to identify the effect of a child's willpower on the child's future income. Gotta control for those confounders and prevent endogeneity.
The investment .. forget that. That does not need to refinance itself (unofficially)
Who could be in danger of being mislead by the title, by not knowing Git is open source? They just wanted to say Fossil is also OS.
I'm specifically hoping to find listings at $400. I have found two cities with listings at about $500 or a bit less. I have done internet searches trying to find places at $400 or less and things that look at first blush like they meet the criteria often turn out to actually be something else entirely, like an RV park.

Most places do not have apartments at $500 per month. I am willing to talk about how to find a roommate situation in that price range, but most homeless people have special needs, whether medical or mental health, that make them unsuited to a roommate situation or a roommate situation unsuitable for them.

I am interested in specific names of cities, websites with good search parameters for finding such and other general advice on how to get it that low. I've done a lot of searching and listings that are substantially below $500 are pretty rare in my experience.

I'm happy to be proven wrong. I would like to do a write up on one of my blogs for where you can find truly cheap housing if you have portable income.

Thanks to folks who have already replied. Feel free to shoot me an email with such info to avoid cluttering up this discussion too much.
>I think I'm going to leave my code in there for now and give them a chance to redeem themselves.

Why would you do that?

I mean, at least import the code to other repos

I'm continually amazed at how much Apple hypes up the most pointless, useless, basic things. This is a new version of a major operating system, and we get... the desktop organized by filetype. A built-in stock application. How is an App Store update considered part of an OS update?
I have an Apple developer account, I want to update right now to Mojave. I don’t do MacOS apps development. Is it a good idea to run an OS beta or better wait for the official release this fall?
So, did they at last add support for Vulkan and OpenGL 4.6 in the system and Ogg/Opus in Safari?
Good to hear. Still, I have these memories of Facebook buying Whatsapp for too much money and first saying it will be impossible to integrate both platforms. Surprise, surprise, later they did find a way to integrate.

Microsoft paying 7.5B for something that looses money every year ? And not having any problems with that ? What will the shareholders say ?

Best practices for deployment and configuration of Macs in a small business?
Hi there. We are a growing small business making extensive use of Mac/Apple devices for our business.

To date, we have purchased Macbooks at retail stores and followed a low-tech checklist to download apps, create and configure accounts and passwords, upgrade to latest versions, and other tedious tasks of new hire onboarding. We have about 12 employees and this approach has not scaled very well.

Additionally, once onboarded, we don't have a great way to manage or control the company inventory or force updates, other than whatever built-in compliance tools are available for the platforms we use (Office 365, Dropbox, Slack, OSX, etc.). I've noticed there are iOS services available (I believe, given the larger enterprise usecase there), but there aren't many for Mac OS (or both).

Any suggestions on services or small business administration tools or services in a Mac environment would be very helpful. Thank you.
Nuclide (https://nuclide.io) is what FB uses/develops internally. I think even if the original team departs, they are going to be just fine. They could hire the original team right away if needed.
I don't think this sounds significantly different than running something through Melodyne and then running the midi through another synth.
Yes, but by having a facebook account, all their needs (your entire life) are met too. 1-2 times a month to read random junk from your friends for a lifetime of surveillance capitalism. Good trade off, no?
Using Optimus is a horrible experience in Linux. I just turned off the discrete graphics because it was power hungry.
Music has meaning. True, it's a kind of meaning that we cannot put into words, but meaning nonetheless. These exercises do not appreciate this fact. (It's like taking a poem and generating another poem of a different author based on phonemes alone).
From my rudimentary research you can get an optical-quality 1 carat polycrystal disk for $700. Only problem is that it's half a millimeter thick.

CVD diamonds all seem to come in the form of a very thin sheet/disk, so getting something thick enough to use as jewelry may actually approach that price
I dont think you read my post.

Apple to bring iOS apps to macOS

The word "libre" is gaining momentum now that people are using LibreOffice. The word is working its way into the English language:

I love this. It shows that Apple can make long-term improvments (limit smartphone zonbies) even at expense of short-term gains (App Developers may suffer).
At some point there should be the counter essay which is "Why Free Software Misses the Point of Open Source."

There is tremendous value in repairability of things when you can see all of the details of how they are constructed, without having to simultaneously give you permission to manufacture or reproduce those things on your own. I really enjoyed that old televisions and radios included the schematic in the owners manual so that you could repair them down to the component level. It was really nice that the BIOS source code was part of the IBM PC technical manual, it helped you understand what it was expecting when it probed an IO ROM on the ISA bus. Neither of those examples gave you the right to re-distribute your modifications, and yet they were in fact valuable things to have.
It’s free in a similar way to how preventing citizens from owning slaves is free.
Hammerspoon can fix both these issues, really cannot recommend more.
In the interest of providing data, here is at least a single reply. Though I haven't voted, by my criteria your comment leans more to downvote than upvote. My reasons:

1. It adds little to nothing to the discussion. You raise two items with no commentary but "hmmmm", then offer a metaphor and an admitted conspiracy theory - neither of which you explain in depth nor draw interesting conclusions from.

2. There is inherent ridiculousness (almost to the point of trolling) in connecting a 20-year old report (1998) to a modern initiative, particularly considering the massive industry, technical, and organizational changes between those two events. Implying that one leads to another as part of a 30-year strategy to consume/extinguish Linux assumes a level of long-term planning and, frankly, managerial competency that is almost unheard of in today's public companies.

3. Assuming I can even understand your poorly constructed point, I still disagree with it (see #1 and #2) and, more importantly, think you fundamentally misunderstand the landscape in which Microsoft now competes. In a world increasingly accessed by mobile devices, MS has no mobile presence. In an OS landscape increasingly disintermediated by the browser, MS has little significant browser presence. They have oriented their entire organization around Azure (its biggest revenue growth area) and cross-platform applications deliverable in the browser and on 3rd party mobile OSes. They reorganized and, for the first time, no longer have a Windows division. Thinking they're in the middle of some Machiavellian scheme to take back an increasingly irrelevant OS dominance position by extinguishing Linux (and failing because Linux is too big?) completely misses the point that Linux's size wasn't the cause of Microsoft's inability to extinguish it, it was these other countervailing industry forces. And to imply that they've somehow failed also ignores the fact that MSFT's market capitalization has had a nearly identical growth to GOOG and AAPL over the past two years while they've made this transition.

As they say on Food Network, for those reasons we had to chop you.
sure but these "off chain" transactions are not really Bitcoin, but the exchange's promises of Bitcoin (or whatever cryptocurrency under discussion). As long as custommers succeed in end-to-end conversion the distinction is moot, until they fail to succeed in this end-to-end conversion.

So still a commercial bank can not fractional reserve bank BTC, only fractional reserve bank promises for BTC. For a while people may fall for such a scheme but players learn...
I really disagree with Stalman on this concept because it applies equally to the powerful and the powerless.

I may not be putting this eloquently, but the user of the computer could be a huge company using their freedom to build a killing machine. Their are real balances of power that this seems to not address. I'm probably just kind of rambling. I. Not trying to offend anyone.

EDIT: I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's taken as a given that this type of free software would somehow address these imbalances of power and I don't think that's the lesson that you could take from the last 20 years.
I can't help shuddering everytime Craig presents (is forced to present? is paid to present?) the... omg... wait for it... the new set of animojis, on stage.
I'd wait until Beta 2 at the very earliest. Lots of new bugs are going to surface over the next few days.
They are doing absolutely nothing to bring back gaming to Mac. Major developers (like Blizzard) who have been loyal to that user base for decades are giving up and it feels like Apple isn't even trying to figure out a solution.
I've seen this often, but I don't think it's true. How about "liberated"? This implies that restrictions did exist at one point, which is true, as copyright is assigned by default and needs to be explicitly liberated in most places. It also reminds people who forget to assign a license of the importance to do so.

I'm sure there are other single words that would convey the same message.
> he didn't code since he was 1 week old

explain yourself
There are houses in my town going for $50k. For that you get 1600sqft, 2 bed, 2 bath, .36 acre lot in the city with city water and sewer. At the worst you would need to drive an hour to get a big city job, but there's plenty within a 30 min drive. Cleveland is about an hour away, Akron is 30 mins.

The locals that are homeless here are not in that situation because of some fixable problem with a city policy. It's unanimously mental illness or drug problems, often both.

This is also the county seat, and where the welfare offices are located. 80% of the properties in the city are rentals, and there are multiple charity organizations that provide discount housing.

Homelessness is not a problem that will be eliminated until we no longer have people that cannot take care of themselves.
So basically porting a few ios apps that hardly anyone even uses counts as a major OS release?
Have you seen the part where you can easily port iOS apps to macOS that was probably in the making for a few years? That's pretty huge for a developer conference.

Changes to the app store to make discovery easier and feature more developer stories also have a huge impact on Mac/iOS developers and their revenue.

If that's the intent behind "free software" I'd call it "liberty software" or "liberated software".

I'm not a native English speaker so it might have things attached I don't know about.
The challenge with respect to that is that there are pretty notable trade offs with design choices for implementing a bug tracker, wiki, etc at this stage of git's development. Any one choice by the official git project core would be met with serious push back. The best outcome for git in my opinion would be some work put into in-repo issue tracking, but not as a part of git's core distribution.

There have been a number of independent efforts to tackle all of these problems but they've lost steam for the past 5 years or so. It's too bad since it's a pretty neat problem space to see solutions built in and to discuss them, but that seems to be the current state of things.

You trade strength for hardness. As hardness increases its ductility decreases becoming more brittle. That super hard blade will shatter like glass if dropped on a hard floor or snap if too much lateral force is applied. Same reason ceramic knives aren't more popular.

I grew up in a machine shop and those little super hard carbide cutter inserts are surprisingly easy to crack or break if you feed too fast. I remember getting cocky on the lathe trying to take a big cut off a 2 inch bar of mild steel; came in too fast and the lip on the bar from hand cutting on the bandsaw caught the edge of the little $25 carbide insert and shattered it like glass.
It's not cheap, but for those who like the aesthetics of the Powermac G5 tower, there is a conversion kit to put a normal ATX motherboard in it, and a standard PC power supply:

Makes it pretty easy to choose a new motherboard such as for a Ryzen 2700, with fast M.2 NVME SSD, etc.
Community code?
You're within walking distance of the City of London and it's £400 a month? I assume tower hamlets?

The cheapest room I can find in a flat share is £550 a month - although for the numbers you mention, you could rent an outdoor parking space.

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/find.html?locati...

So yes, there are options that are cheaper than I posited, but it's still hardly the $400 a month for a house you see in the US.

To buy, for under £150k, all I can see is garages, boats, and sub-decade leaseholds - you can't live in a garage, a boat costs a fortune to maintain and moor, and a six year lease for £150k is a bum deal in my view, and not really ownership.

Would love to be proven wrong.

They already did. Except maybe for test setups and to configure a project before announcing it.

All those companies keep their privates private. GitHub is just a public showroom for them.

Again this is different for other/smaller companies.
