Flatpak and Snap are new package formats, which allow bundling software with all the libraries that it needs.

Advantage is that developers can package exactly those versions of the libraries that they tested with and know to be working.

Disadvantage is that if there's a security problem or bug in one of those libraries, you're dependent on the developer to release a new version of the Flatpak or Snap package.

Another disadvantage is that libraries can't be shared between applications, which increases hard drive and RAM usage.

A second important aspect of Flatpak and Snap packages, which is however not relevant to the discussion, is that the execution of the packaged applications is done in a sandboxed environment.
I'm an American and honestly I flip back and forth, which is probably frustrating to read.
That analogy really has no real relevance to the discussion as far as I can see. Caches help dynamic sites scale up to meet large amounts of traffic. If you don't want to use a WP plugin then use Varnish instead.
Unlimited bandwidth still means limited data over a finite time frame. The distinction is meaningless.

One big downside with this approach no one is talking about is that your model is no longer in sync with the rest of your code via commits.

This is generally what causes headaches later on, when you accidentally delete a field in production or forget to add a new one to mimic your dev environment.

But we had something like that where I last worked and it was okay. There was also no concept of dev db which was a different topic altogether...

My choice is typically between "should I use a hosted provider" vs "should I host my own." IMHO there is not a vast amount of difference between hosted VPN providers. They all suffer from generally the same issues.

> can also be synchronous

Then you're giving up several of the benefits of CQRS, and might as well just not bother with the additional complexity.

> Well they don't have to be immutable. I don't see why you can't update/migrate events.

The events are your source of truth. When you "migrate" your source of truth, you're in somewhat dangerous waters (and if you're using CQRS for scale, a 1% failure to migrate data might be millions of records). You also now have the issue that your source of truth is being migrated, and probably can't accept writes (or you need to emit writes in both new format and old format for whenever your change over happens)
>Your redefinition of slavery is significantly broader than the accepted definition of it.

Please note this is not my redefinition of slavery as I was largely using the definition many other posts here assume, but only pointing out that it isn't limited just to hard labor on the enslaver's behalf.

If you think this definition of slavery is wrong, then this would apply to numerous other posts here and the core take away would be that prisoners aren't slaves. At which point we can just pick a different word or create a new word and continue to the point.

So, if you have an issue with the word slave, then I'll define a new word to capture what people in other posts are complaining about, praves (yes, just combining prisoners and slaves into as single word). Now, I repeat my point using praves instead of slaves.
This leads to X questioning why they need any trucks at all, since they can always demand trucks from Y.

"Verizon's plan should be assumed to be a 200Kbps plan that can occasionally burst to 50Mbps"

No, it should be assumed that they get "fast enough" up to 50Mbps... which they did get (and didn't complain about) up to the throttle (which they did complain about).

Sure, the data threshold and throttling are in the terms, but even Verizon admitted they made a mistake explaining the meaning of the terms to the fire department (easy to misread anyways for the average consumer, and throttling is not something the carriers advertise).

The net neutrality issue is the fact that Verizon wasn't throttling due to overall network congestion (which was an exception to the previous regulation), but just because the fire department hit the data cap... under net nuetrality this would not be allowed, though the risk is that not having throttling means a threshold data shut-off.
> and the BSDlike licenses are the only way I can put my work out there whilst giving any prospective downloader the least amount of need to think about license politics

But it also means that you won't be able to independently produce much software to begin with nor sustain such practice. If that's ok, then it doesn't really matter which license you choose. A few hobby libraries and utilities that you will be able to afford to write don't matter much.

Which would you see as more probable?

1) The ease of quality emulation leads to developers ceasing native linux support, resulting in lower quality linux gaming overall.

2) The ease of quality emulation leads more gamers to be willing to migrate to linux as their primary OS, thus helping linux come closer to being a first class deployment target, resulting in higher quality linux gaming overall.

Of course this isn't a dichotomy, but rather I think it's often unwise to look a gift horse in the mouth, especially when you're looking at hypotheticals.

Yeah, I had one find out once. I got a "talking to" by a VP, early in my career, about my outside activities and promised to wind down the side work. I had told a coworker about all the extra cash I was bringing in. I didn't actually wind down anything though. The VP got moved to a different job, and I eventually left a couple years later anyway.
If prisoners are slaves, then it isn't that far a leap to the concept of wage slavery or being enslaved to nature. But please note that I am not the first post in this thread to use a definition that disagrees from the one you are suggesting.
Where would your VPN be? What makes you think the government doesn't monitor traffic flows there? They don't even need to monitor traffic flows at your home's ISP, since they can see both legs of the connection just by watching the network your VPN server is on.

If you're in a FVEY country, you can't count on any real network metadata privacy protection (against your own country's government) for near-realtime communication. Multiple hops (e.g. tor) makes it more difficult for them, but also makes your internet connection slow and unreliable, and your traffic becomes even higher priority for them to investigate; if they happen to have flow data on each of the nodes you use, you're probably unmasked.
Hi all,

developer here. I created a website to collect birthday for friends and family.

How it works:
Create a calendar from the homepage. Then after submit you will get a link that you can share with friends and family. After a week we will send a csv file that you can import into your calendar.

Why I created this?
I created this to ease the pain to got through manual collecting of birthdays. Normally I would ask or someone tells me but I forget to add it or its to much effort to add this. The link is valid for always so you can reuse it if you get a new family member or friend.

Hope I can help some people out to ease the pain of collecting birthdays.

Feel free to post any feedback or ask questions looking forward to it. Currently the website is very basic, but will look into making it better but the functional it works.
Researchers find neural auto-correct feature we use to process ambiguous sounds
Some of the options I’m considering:

1) Moving everything to git, and having MKDocs as the source of all documentation for the project. I’m not convinced this will work well on the Requirements phase. Versioning would be done with git tags. And I suspect it will requirement techie effort to get up the point of being useful, while alienating our less technical (or more entrenched in MS solutions) staff members.

2) JIRA + Confluence - seems to integrate the Requirements + Design more tightly, though not sure about delivery of versioned documents to client.

3) Stick with Word + Sharepoint - which I loath.
Exactly that. The first version of hammerwatch supported local multiplayer. With port forwarding it worked extremely well over the internet. This wasn't an option at all, unless you first logged into their Galaxy program.
Apple’s Supply Chain Relationships: ‘It’s Complicated’
Last year I used a VPS with specs similar to yours at LeaseWeb, for around €50/year. They're OK. I don't remember any downtime but I wasn't monitoring that VM 24/7.
I don't have any RSI issues but I love the idea of alternative/improved keyboards and layouts and have accidentally become kind of an aficionado/collector. I have on permanent rotation and have written reviews of a Kinesis Ergo [0], Truly Ergonomic (TEK) [1], TypeMatrix [2], and Happy Hacker [3] and I'm looking seriously at buying an Ergodox one of these days. I happen to like and dislike each of those keyboards: each has advantages and disadvantages. Same goes for Dvorak (which I use regularly) and Colemak, etc. I'm hard pressed to say which is my favorite, but I like each for different reasons and conclude it would be impossible to combine them into any "perfect," ultimate keyboard.

One thing that almost never comes up in these discussions is the need to change or rotate keyboards. I love the Kinesis but eventually get tired of it, and am happy to move to the TEK, which then starts to bother me until I move to the TypeMatrix, etc. Every keyboard and layout improves some part of typing while exacerbating another. Switching keeps you nimble. I suspect it's like bicycles, of which there are infinite variations. If one bike hurts your wrists and another hurts your legs and another bothers your neck, switch every few rides.

I'm fine with selling a 50mbps best-effort plan as "50mbps". A "200kpbs plan with 50Mbps bursts" is not that. If you are throttling people to 200kbps after a short burst, that is not best effort. A best effort plan would vary with the overall congestion, it would not drop off specifically based on your personal use of the connection.

If you're talking about the total game, politics, and all the other stuff that influences the game as a whole, a whole lot.

As an individual player who's not involved in politics or things like that, more than half your time is spent in game. It's a thinking game with a ton of complexity so the thing about it being "spreadsheets in space" is kind of true.
Would we have Android today were it not for GPLv2 and Linux licensed under it?

But indeed, GPL does limit the ways you can distribute software licensed under it. In particular, licensing something like a library, or another early-bound component under GPL forces the users to license their work under GPL, too. This is why LGPL exists.

I'm excited to take this class this fall at the U of M. I've heard that the fall course is more algorithmically rigorous than the spring course because the computer science department tries to open it up to non-CS majors at that time (biology majors interested in bioinformatics, for example). The professor, George Karypis, has a reputation on campus. I'm doing a dual degree in statistical science and CS so I'm looking forward to seeing how this compares to some similar class offered by the stats department.

I don't know why you're trolling all over this thread, but this makes it sound like you don't know what you're talking about.

Why do you think you can't ship your non-system-provided dependencies on Linux? This is the common complaint about Linux, that you have to bundle a bunch of dependencies if you want it to run everywhere. You can also ship a single directory containing your application that is runnable wherever you drop it.

> "how do I know which files belong to this application, since they're spread all over the file hierarchy and mixed in with everything else?"

Just an FYI, ldd <binary> will tell you the libraries you depend on, but if you're shipping all non-system-provided dependencies, there shouldn't be anything that points outside of your directory other than libc.
I spent two weeks trying out the evil mode in my daily workflow. Some things were much more user-friendly than vim but at many points the rough edges of the vim emulation on top of emacs showed its bare spots. Finally, lack of support for a good database client bought me back to spacevim which is a similar space-driven IDE written in native vim.

tisk tisk, so many downvotes and knee jerk reactions, but this is pragmatically correct.

GPL is unpopular, and if you want people to use your software, it is the wrong license to choose.

Should it be? Perhaps not. ...but I don't think the parent comment is nearly as wrong as people seem to think.

It doesn't matter if the GPL technically is a better or worse license; the fact is that (perhaps indeed driven by large corporations) GPL has a very negative image right now, and since we do live in a 'look at my popular github repo with oh so many stars, aren't I popular, oh btw hire me pls' world now, that is actually a big deal.

The question is not, 'should I use GPL?', because the answer is no, if you want to have a successful popular open source project.

The question is; how do we actually change the perception of GPL so the answer becomes yes?

I'm not sure... but I think it's a far more important question.

(I can certainly say that I no longer use the GPL, after using it for many years, largely because it was requested I remove it from projects. What do you do in that situation? Since I really don't care that much why not just put it under something else? I don't have a good answer.)
> I didn’t like the way Dvorak was laid out especially for the weak fingers of the right hand.

I am not sure if I only know this from playing piano and guitar, but it is surprisingly easy to strengthen those fingers. The exercise is very simple and all it takes is a couple minutes a day, it can be done anywhere (even better if you have a piano or guitar!):

1. Lay your fingers on a table, and curl them like you were at a keyboard or holding a small ball in your hand.

2. Keeping all of your other fingers on the table, lift your weaker finger, typically the ring as high as you possibly can without causing the other fingers to rise.

3. Bring it down as hard as you comfortably can.

4. Repeat 1-3 until you can lift higher and bring it down harder without affecting the other fingers.
