Outside software industry and computer enthusiasts no one has even heard of RMS. As for Gatesian Basic conundrum [0] of the past he could as well been forgotten if not for emergence of Linux, maybe he should be lucky be called the father of open source although I understand that he considers it to be an insult.

The common Windows10 user might be okay in having no control over their computing and merely licencing their OS [1], but I would argue that's because they don't comprehend what they're agreeing on. It's sad that computer literacy is that astonishingly low. Agreeing to some entity to have the ultimate power of your computing environment is like having to agree to someone else to have the power over the fabric of your though processes. We're still in the digital middle ages, feudal society where MS, FB, Google have the final say in the spheres of their domination exactly like the churches or kings would decide over their people.

RE: your point #1, nope that won't work. By capping based on revenue, bigger companies will simply spin off certain employee segments into separate contractor companies. Create a possible loophole, and it will be exploited.
Try using `$EDITOR` instead of an argument as that's a more standard env variable to specify preferred editor!
That was not my impression when dealing with them as author.
Any justification for that?
> Let's see how this is false:

<label @click="edit(todo)">

> This is not Javascript. If it was, it would assign the result of the function call to @click. It doesn't. It's a Javascript-like scripting language that has magical binding into regular Javascript.

You're wrong. The contents of the event handler is JS, the whole snippet is obviously HTML.

<button onclick="alert('Hi')">Say Hi.</button>

This is also plain regular HTML and has been since HTML4 (1997). The value of the onclick attribute is a string of JS. There's no assignment of the result happening. It registers a click handler. The only difference between the two, on a surface level, is that the Vue example has things in scope (edit and todo) that aren't globals.
From the same dictionary:

sexism : Prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex.

Of course, referencing other (arguably more authoritative) dictionaries, one of the definitions for racism is also simply "discrimination based on race."

Is this a case where having better insurance would protect you from the hospital? Not sure how insurance or billing in the US works, but in the article one person broke their ankle and their insurance negotiated the price with the hospital, and then the hospital still came after the person for the costs that the insurance company negotiated to not pay.
Exactly my thoughts, if Whois can die in the process, it won't be missed by anybody. It's been useless at its purpose since the early 2000's at least. There's no point in keeping it, GDPR or not... I can't even think of a non-spam application these days.

Quantitative easing ended quite a while ago in the US, and I would expect that the long end of the yield curve these days is a pretty good metric for the market's expectation of long-term rates. Whether the curve has ever had predictive power is another question entirely.

When people talk about just "OpenID", they usually mean the original one, not Connect. The old OpenID did not have the ability to authenticate requests to the domain you signed in with.

OpenID Connect adds lots of bloat, it's very large and complicated. IndieAuth is actually easy to understand and implement.

Max Planck said that "science advances one funeral at a time".

Or more precisely: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."
To be fair, that’s a quote from the co-author of the study not the author of this article. And it does elaborate further later in the article on the context of where he was either forgetful or deceptive.
The number of 20 years is often repeated for the great giza pyramid, however its constructed using 2.3 million stones (~2.5 ton each) meaning they would have to place a stone every 5 minutes, for 20 years to make any sense. Traditional theories of egyptology fiercely defended by argument of authority are utterly useless.

In reality nobody has any idea how, when or even by whom (I would despute the cartouche as solid evidence) the great pyramid was actually built and egyptology certainly won't figure it out (at least not with its current systemic issues).

Gluu isn't based on OpenAM. Gluu is based on a whole bunch of other products (like Shibboleth) but not OpenAM. OpenAM originated from Sun's OpenSSO when Oracle bought Sun and FrogeRock was created. Incidentally this is the same time Gluu was created.

OpenAM is also no longer opensource. The source was closed by Forgerock in the beginning of 2018.

One of the forks that sprung from this source closing is wren:security ( https://wrensecurity.org ). Disclosure: I work on that project ;-)

I don't understand the problem. You say the problem is that both individuals and companies register domains, but why should the info of either be visible in a public database?
Ah I see - of course. Should have thought of that.

For comparison, I believe my usage arises from evolutionary fitness, where one might discuss local maxima on a fitness landscape. The challenge is perhaps much the same as in ML, with one strategy being to introduce random mutations in order to escape the same kind of trap.
VC's always talk about "pattern matching" meaning they look for founders that look like other successful founders - that immediately biases them toward young White men.
I believe you've misinterpreted my meaning. I make enough that I can live with minimal debt, own the things I consider necessary, and provide for my family. It means I don't have to spend time thinking about work beyond 40 hours a week (most weeks). I have no desire to make more in return for "being the boss".

> I got a lot more patient with other websites. It's actually a really hard problem

Definitely true in my experience. If I go to a page which contains an image from a web cam and a slider or links or butttons with times, I want to be able to click around on times and see the image from that time -- but I don't want to have to backtrack through all times I have viewed to go back to the previous page.

I guess what I'm saying is that it's hard to nail down what a "location" is in terms of UX. If the context is roughly the same, with only minor elements of the page change, I expect to be able to bookmark that view, but my back button should take me farther back.

And I suspect this is different for every user.
Sometimes I want to email the domain owner to see if they are interested in selling their domain. I don’t see this as spam personally because the emails are always bespoke and “hand written” making a specific case. What would you advise be done in this situation instead?

It's certainly alive. I have two of the hard players (including an original ethernet SLIMP3!) and two soft players. You can turn any spare smartphone/tablet you have lying around into a player by hooking it up to a cheap BlueTooth speaker dock and installing an Android app.

The "downside" of course is you have to run your own server. For those of us who want to have control, want to maintain our own music libraries, and want everything to be open source, this is an advantage. But I can see why this is not for everyone.

You can pick up the old players on eBay although some of the rarer/better ones are not cheap.
Maybe so, but none of yours (or even all of yours combined) are anywhere near as tragic as the cancelation of HyperCard. ;(

Yes - this is what seems to be the recommended solution.

But as you say, it's insanely expensive particularly as my main use-case which was to allow my partner to listen to youtube videos from her iphone.

And as well as the expense - I don't have an AppleTV or Connect:amp sitting around - it feels kludgy to me as it involves a needless round-trip between digital and analog. Also it's not user-friendly - to listen to a youtube video cast from my iphone requires fiddling with 2 apps.
A lot of big companies do that.

Might as well title it "Woman game-dev and meant-well co-worker lose their jobs over immature 'mansplaining' Twitter fight turned political."

The chain of events:

1. A woman game dev posts something work-related. Innocuous enough so far.

2. Some guy on Twitter annoyingly tells her how to do her job better.

3. The game dev overreacts, humiliates the guy and turns it political. This was unprofessional and stupid.

4. Said guy on Twitter overreacts as well. Oh boy. Stupid, but he has nothing to lose but his time and dignity.

5. As things get uglier, a co-worker of hers decides it's a good idea to risk his career and join in the now politically charged discussion. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't go well for him.

6. In a perfect storm of stupidity and immaturity from all sides, it snowballs on Twitter. Woman game devs get people on Twitter SO MAD.

7. The game company fires her and her co-worker as damage control. They were justified to do this, since they acted unprofessionally, but this turned out to be a PR disaster for them. No way to win. That's what they get for associating with fools.

8. The media smells blood in the water like the sharks they are. It's a national political issue now. And yet, it's such a stupid, pointless fight that made 2 people lose their jobs over something so frivolous as "mansplaining".

I have no comment. Why get depressed when you can just point and laugh?
The central thesis of the article seems to reject all market forces that aren’t directly controlled by the CA. For starters, CAs have to compete to maintain the trust of the browsers. The author glosses over this as if it’s barley relevant, but the browsers essentially decide whether CAs are allowed to conduct business at all. CAs also have to compete for the trust of their customers. The author seems to think that CAs publishing a bit of fud somehow entirely negates the customers ability to assess their trustworthiness. I’d say that any actor who makes decisions about trust based only on marketing content probably doesn’t care very much about the integrity of the CA system. The existence of commercial insentive doesn’t intrinsically make a system corrupt. The CAs product is essentially trust, if their product isn’t good enough, then they won’t be able to sell it. Especially since there’s a number of different supervising bodies to ensure they’re doing a sufficient job.
Most of your complaints are perfectly valid, and some of the reasons I stay away from Sonos products.

But the "Can't handle higher than 16/48 digital rips" just bugs me. Digital sound for human consumption absolutely does not benefit from higher sample rates or bit depths than that. None whatsoever. Just downsample your "hi-res" collection using SoX or a similar high quality resampler to 16/44.1 or 16/48, and be done with it.

The 100k workers over 20 years figures aren't a theory of modern researchers. Those estimates are from Herodotus, who was reporting on what Egyptians of his day (2,500 ybp) thought. That's why it's repeated so often. It could be that they/he was wrong.

I think it sounds plausible in terms of the amount of work. 1 man year per stone.

Right, this is overselling a paper at its worst. They're just dressing up a mundane result with bombastic rhetoric.
If the domain owner doesn't provide an email on the website reached through the respective domain itself it's probably a signal that they don't want to be approached.

So ideally, in case they don't provide an email, one would not do that.
So that people who are seeking redress can find who holds the resource. That's what whois is mostly about: redress. I'm not trying to defend that against peoples rights to privacy I'm observing there's a significant community of interest in "who did that" if you don't believe that's necessary then you win with GDPR. If you do, then the masking means you cannot know, but lawyers and judges and police and governments can.

I agree that for shells, some scripting languages and the like, file names with punctuation and other special characters can be challenging.

But Sonos doesn't have to do any "handling" here - the user never gets to interact with the network paths/file names so they should (I think) be treated as opaque identifiers.
I don't think using a custom domain for company email is the "big leagues". It is only a minor effort to use your own domain and shows some semblance of a professional operation.

I was about to buy some Sonos stuff but asked if I needed to go online to activate them (I claimed I did not have internet), and sure enough, an internet connection is a requirement. So sorry Sonos, I am buying an appliance which I expect to function independent of your company for years to come. If that can not be guaranteed then my money will stay in my pocket and I will continue to use my open-source cobbled together solution even if it is slightly less polished and convenient.
Writing jQuery to accomplish a feature like hiding one element if another is checked is significantly more code and more error-prone (not to mention difficult to test) than doing the equivalent thing with a tool like Angular is.

Yes. I have a confident understanding of C. I, however, don't have knowledge of RAII and concepts specific to C++ like many have pointed out here.

Thank you.
They didn't know that. Things that last also retain their usefulness. My entire point really. As an aside, let's hope you didn't use up extra resources that are not renewable in making something so durable but eventually useless. Would I favor regulations that prevent the opposite? Stuff that breaks before the end of its useful life just to create another purchase? I would consider it. Both ends of the spectrum create problems.
Aren't most PC speakers ie. integrated amplifier / 3.5mm input (is that what they are called?) inferior to having a separate amplifier, and a DAC?

I used to buy PC speakers before I realized that I was paying for a new (but shitty) amplifier everytime I got a new set of speakers.

Audio path is as such:

Digital File -> DAC -> 3.5mm -> Amplifier -> Speakers

Wireless audio path can cut the DAC out in well designed systems.

In any case, I think most people, even smart hackers in our group, think that they can get amazing PC speakers..audiophile quality. Its a popular misconception. But once you think about the physics of it, of course a 3.5mm cable isnt delivering enough voltage to physically move speaker cones back and forth.. So these "PC speakers" have really cramped amplifiers inside, dealing with very high voltages.

Invest in a good amp for the main sound setup that you care about. Youll have to buy new speakers with balanced red and white thick gauge cables but you'll get much better sound. It saves the environment, optimizes the process.

I recommend Peachtree [1] The amp has wireless streaming, mobile apps, USB audio from PC, skipping analog conversion. Absolutely stunning quality.
