>I find it fascinating they’d pursue a heavyweight UX project such as a window manager with no clear stake in the game... a last chance at pushing for Solaris adoption?!

Not sure. But around that time Sun had invested heavily in the Gnome project and made a lot of commits that enabled lots of more "boring" things to be added. eg. i18n, accessibility etc. This was because with Linux based Java Desktop (i.e. their polished gnome implementation) they had won various corporate & government contracts in different industries which required these changes, benefiting the gnome project immensely.

Whether the very popular compositing WMs (e.g. Metacity/Compiz) indicated a necessary investment in that area (hacker prelude to new industry), I don't know.
Greg KH is Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus's second in command and I think the maintainer of the stable branch. He's currently filling in for Linus as the overall kernel maintainer.

He's good people. Gives a shit about kernel quality. Otherwise Linus wouldn't have trusted him with such a high post.
Obama never had a congress that was filibuster-proof. The 110th, 111th, 112th, or 113th congress weren't. The 110th was the most favorable but wasn't filibuster proof, least of all under the filibuster rules of the time.

Plus the poster I was responding to specifically made claims about the Republican's policies and what they claimed the Republicans had tried. If the Republicans don't bring up legislation the Democrats cannot be blamed for not voting for it (or Obama for not signing it).

This is not a massive break from the international status quo by a any means. The USA and all other nations have operated in a similar manner for a long time with equally gruesome outcomes.

If I recall the head of Interpol “disappeared” not long ago, and that little kerfuffle died away right quick.

Perhaps the reasons are more mundane.

1. The Saudis got caught out by the Turks with the evidence. Which has been used effectively. The Turks have a lot to gain by seeing the alliance between SA and the US weakened.
2. The senior leadership of SA can be more directly tied to this incident, as opposed to more common case where plausible deniability exists. Rookie mistake.
3. There exists internal opposition to the leadership in the US and SA that find it convenient to escalate the profile of this issue for their own purposes.

This will blow over and business as usual will resume shortly.

They have tried some moves but they can't break from the fundamentalism making their efforts pretty moot despite all of the money they throw at it. Mystifyingly they were clearly involved with getting a Sex and the City movie set there. They could have reformed to be a productive post petrol economy but I suspect it was too late even before they decided acting like mob hitmen against journalists was a good idea. You can influence media with money but murdering journalists gives them self preservation reasons to refuse to deal with you at all.

I believe the Trump-Russia situation coming to light has made people hypersensitive (good when it's countering a desensitization) to this kind of blatant bad behaviour. The fact that it was a Washington Post journalist may have been crucial to the level of shock it has, at least in America; a situation finally that can resonate close enough to home for us to feel some kind of impact, and in the current climate of authoritarian/totalitarian governments trying to breakdown democracy.
Thank you. Not sure why I was downvoted above. I was asking a genuine question politely.
I wouldn't be surprised if the actions Google took to push Amazon results off the first page product results skewed the Amazon product catalog towards gamed marketplace results. Amazon was getting a free ride on Google's results sort of like Wikipedia for a fairly long time. Now you have to dig to find links to either of them. The effect on Amazon may also be a result of pricing changes Google made around 2015.

The fans were also easily accessible for cleaning after removing the keyboard/trackpoint assembly, which can be done without removing any other part of the case.

Xgl [1] was released in the same year and had quite similar capabilities [2]. Xgl, in turn, lead to Compiz/Beryl which is the technical ancestor of the most popular window managers we run on Linux desktops nowadays (e.g., Kwin in KDE).

So to some extent, we still use the tech which was developed back then, the effects are just a lot more subtle.

>Well at the moment LTSB isn't affected is it?

And you know that based on what? The lack of bug reports? The LTSB population is obviously going to be smaller than the general population, so the lack of reports of it happening on LTSB doesn’t really indicate anything. Besides, the task manager bugs introduced in 1809 is in ltsb 1809 AND server 2019, which makes me inclined to believe that all the windows editions come from the same branch anyways.
Interesting. Why? Halal definitely allows beef to be combined with potatoes.
That's the argument of Tarek El Diwany. From the second last paragraph of the article:

Some purists dislike the way modern sharia finance is run. Tarek El Diwany, a consultant, says banks are devising loopholes to sell nominally sharia-compliant products that are essentially the same as any other. For 1,400 years Islamic finance has been based on mutual ownership and profit-sharing, he says. But most sharia deposits return a specified rate similar to interest, not a share of actual profits earned. He describes it as “blank-faced copy-catting”.

Because for most people file management and document management are kinda the same, so we end up with tools that are barely capable document managers that end up exposing all kinds of details about the underlying storage mechanism and both are kinda iffy. You cannot reliably do document management atop of files while keeping file managers happy and the subset of document management tasks that can be done at the file level is kinda limited as well. So we get some weird hybrid that's horrible to use and still incapable of many interesting tasks.

The ads are not pop-up and they do not interupt the content, since they are only on the side. And they are not visible for most of the page.

I started using Perl again. It is a well-defined language with a good library system that's also been around long enough to have stabilized. The fact that it is so integrated into many system things help ensure that it remains stable. It's flexible, but you can still write readable code with it.

The only thing I couldn't find at first was a good editor for it. I would up with ... IntelliJ. The only minor thing that Community Edition doesn't have is editing CSS, and I can live without it. There's a Perl plugin that does good completion and navigation (Find Uses / Find Definition, semi-intelligent completion).

And that's what I am using now for prototyping.
I think you're conflating the term 'bots' as used in this article and actual bots, which I agree can be very useful.
> Reusing the previous example, the purpose of the GPL was to drive out proprietary software; yet the people using it in Linux do not yield it that way.

That was an outcome that was hoped for, not a purpose. The purpose is pretty explicit in the preamble paragraphs [0] - to promote a certain style of freedom. As a body, the Free Software community wouldn't deny that if creating non-free software is legal, then free software can be used to achieve that goal. They have a more fundamental objection to the government creating and then enforcing the concept of copyright.

The kernel community has been very aggressive about securing that freedom for themselves, particularly in arenas such as allowing non-free drivers into the kernel. They don't take a politically activist stance of lobbying to change the law, but they don't seem to deal with code that they can't legally modify themselves.

The kernel community may well be cherry-picking from the GNU strategy, but the GPL is being used as intended - to promote and secure freedom for users.

> What part of the actual text of the CoC prevents a meritocracy?

The part where it sets out that the Technical Advisory Board (aka the TAB) will presumably remove people form the community who are in breach of the code of conduct, without language that exempts people who have a long history of positive technical contribution.

Everything involves tradeoffs. Being a meritocracy means that individuals of technical merit are given leeway to fumble, or even potentially abuse, the status of their position.

Good example is Hans Reiser - the case was rendered moot by him being imprisoned, but a meritocracy says "the code is good, let him keep contributing" and a non-meritocractic community would presumably say "we don't want to associate with murderers".

Obviously nobody wants the to encourage bad behavior, but the question being asked is /how much/ slack do great technical contributors get if they happen to be, say, autistic and antisocial. Historically, the answer has been lots of slack. In future, the answer looks like it will be corporate-acceptable-behavior, which is a higher standard. Presumably if there is a group who thinks this change is needed it will be followed by a purge of the community where marginal maintainers are pushed out.

Why? Seems to me more likely a sincere attempt to communicate the author's own code of conduct, and the spirit in which he has offered sqlite to his neighbors.
No, that's not what's going on. The reason for the fallacy is that we tend to find more detailed stories more convincing than less detailed stories.

However, not everybody, you can be trained against that. I've heard that police interrogators are less prone to this fallacy because they know that liars who had time to prepare often add dozens of details to their story that no ordinary person would remember.

Your example isn’t that ambiguous, that’s a public communication directly about the project. That should be covered by the CoC.

However unrelated statements, even very politically incorrect ones, should be outside it’s remit. If for example someone was a virulent racist on twitter. That’s arguably a bad thing, but those statements are unrelated to the project and should have no bearing on contributions to it.

(Now that’s going to be an unpopular sentiment. Downvotes ahead.)
Being Netflix has its benefits, because smaller devs definitely got their app booted out because they tried the same workaround. There cannot be any kind of linking to an outside payment system, even a web redirection.
Aside from the lack of even a remotely plausible excuse for their misdeeds or deniability if you attack journalists literally expect negative coverage from self preservation alone - nobody trades with a guy who "sometimes" eats people. That is putting aside any nobility.

Plus there is the "cruel and unusual" aspect. Although the phrase was meant for capricious abuses of power it highlights how evil out of the norm is reacted to more harshly. People are used to shitty things done by militaries and funding violent groups - the definition of a terrorist group had to be very carefully defined to avoid the US being guilty of it themselves under their own laws for instance. Even government assassins don't murder people in their own embassy usually much less so brutally and openly.

This old GPL hoary chestnut comes up again and again. The GPL is not a political document. It is an economic document that aims to give end users the right to modify their equipment.

Virtually any one who owns a fully mechanical device has access to its workings and with the necessary tools and knowledge (which can be hired or bought) can make changes and improvements to the device. If you own an old Mercedes, Ford, or (place your favourite car here), or a John Deere or Massey Ferguson tractor before critical functions become software controlled, you can make any modifications you want and not only that anyone you sell the device to also gains the benefits of those modifications, make any changes and can pass them on the next user.

Is that a political benefit or an economic benefit?

Try doing that with your Tesla, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfV0_wbjG8KJADuZT2ct4SA/fea..., or your new John Deere.

The GPL extends this facility to computer programs. How does this become a political thing? It only becomes political when there is the desire to use the legislative and judicial systems to subvert end users ability to enjoy, enhance and repair the products they have bought.
Huh, TIL.

I'll assume I'm right to give them a second chance, maybe it's just the X1 that's going awry? I've read a lot of reports about the X1's 2013 models that describe the issue that occurred to mine.

This might just be the best, well-balanced talk on how agile has gone wrong, and ways to combat the decay.

I've seen a lot great teams and poor teams operate. A common set of components in great teams: Technical excellence, freedom coupled with accountability and giving a shit about the quality of their work.

Poor teams: lack of discipline, not caring and poor technical skills.

I've also seen great teams fall apart due to external influence. That influence was agile gone wrong, imposed from the top. Freedom: gone, but accountability remains. Technical practices valued by the team: deprioritized by the process. Giving a shit: demotivation followed by quitting or being fired.

> There’s no reason government employees should get taxpayer guaranteed annuities

There is. In Germany, the Prussians back in the 18th century formed the "Berufsbeamtentum", basically civil servants. The idea is that the state guarantees that the Beamten be permanently employed by the state (basically, short of committing serious crimes > 12mo jail time, there is no way for the state to fire one), have their (first class) healthcare taken care of and that they will have decent pensions. For this, the Beamten bind their work life to the state.

The downside, of course, is that there are several limits for Beamte: most notably they must be absolutely loyal to the state, restrict themselves/their speech in the public (e.g. memberships in "extremist" parties are a no-go), they are forbidden from strikes, and their pay schedules are fixed (so, no individual contract agreements, everyone on the same step of the career ladder gets the same salary). Also (mostly valid for police officers and judges) the state may decide to reassign you to a different post... which may even be at the other end of the country, for those who are with the federal government.
