Of course the CA scandal is real, of only slightly misframed. You can't accidentally leak data that you don't store and you're unlikely to provide API access to data you really consider private. Did they manage to expose peoples' raw passwords? Nope, because they consider it "sensitive" data, unlike basically everything else. Had they treat social graph as private as passwords, the CA story would never happen.
APGL as in the title or AGPL as in B.15?
(almost) no users want that in 2019, When the App Stores launched we raced to the bottom and the price point we came to was free.

Just read the responses in this thread yourself, 5 years ago it would have been full of people demanding this now there are just a handful of you and the rest have switched to demanding their free app deal is sweeter with less downsides, not that they would rather pay.

I don't think either one is a sweet spot, once software is taken into account. Most programs can only competently scale to 1x or 2x, and nothing in between. And for a 4K 31" screen, 2x is too big.

In my opinion, 31 inches, if you were at 1x DPI, is a perfect fit for 1440p. So double the pixels to make a 31" 5K screen and you're in a great spot. Text is a good readable size. Everything is extremely crisp. Compared to a 1920x1200 screen you have 20% more vertical space, and 33% more horizontal.
I remember talk about a similar ladybug swarm back when I was a kid. It was a dry summer and it was assumed they were looking for areas with more water.

Other than that, insects are often quite small and their altitude varies with the weather. Low-flying swallows are seen as a sign of coming rain here in Finland, as the insects are closer to the ground when the atmospheric pressure is low.

Why does it take so long for developers to understand legacy code?
I don't fully understand the context, but I'm guessing that if you provide a service using software that's AGPL licensed and use Square to sell it, they have no way of complying to the AGPL terms of providing end users (your customers) with the source code and/or a link to it.
The D-Day celebrations also usually forget to mention Operation Bagration, a massive soviet offensive in June-August 1944, which is perhaps the biggest German army defeat in history and is very important to keep in mind in the context of the Allies advance in France.

The fact is that keeping the Russians out of D-Day celebrations and of the D-Day narrative is a political decision.
I don't know about you, but I hate this cerebral type drawing, where you take a subject, analyse, restructure and reduce it into some components, etc. It's no fun and uses faculties that I want to rest when drawing. If I draw like this, what happens in my head is pretty much the same as when I work. I'd definitely not teach kids to draw this way. If anyone is interested in alternatives, check out Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards [0][1]. First edition came out quite a long time ago, and it has some popular neuroscience sprinkled in there from that time, but if you get through that, the actual learning material is very good. You'll be surprised how effective it is.

Thats the reason installing proprietary software on linux used to be a massive pain. The expectation is the distro maintainer packages everything for you but they only do that for things that are open source. This has changed since flatpack was created.
Agreed.

Her having to kill herself by refusing nutrition, dying of thirst and starvation, because society decided it knows better than her whether she should live or not, that's truly horrifying.

To me it sounds like she was a terminally ill person: they tried everything for years to "fix" her problem, but failed completely and the condition even worsened.

She wasn't out of her mind and had a temporarily crisis, got help and regretted her previous suicide attempts; she had the goal of ending her suffering by ending her life for a long time, after having seen all the "help" others offered not working at all, she regretted the previous attempts failed, and was determined to try again and again until it worked.

And for a long time, she had to live in agony, just like a terminal cancer patient in countries without assisted suicide (most of them), was denied a way out repeatedly (not just the petition for euthanasia, but her failed suicide attempts that probably failed because of intervention of other people), and ultimately killed herself using one of the worst, horrifying, agonizing suicide methods imaginable, because that's what was available to her with other better options having been taken away already. The thirst and hunger, and feeling your body slowly break down, over days, must have been excruciating, and yet she thought that was better than continuing to live her life in the constant dread and agony she was in.

There certainly are a huge number of suicidal (at one point) people who are in temporary crisis, or have conditions that can be managed and improved (e.g. bipolar people often report that medication does help), but this wasn't that. This was us telling the cancer patient that they gonna suffer and wither and eventually die, with no hope for things to change, but no you cannot just end it now because it would make us feel bad about ourselves somehow, fuck you for even suggesting that.

Didn't spectre work cross-address-space ? I mean the whole point of the spectre vulnerability was that one process read kernel memory or another process' memory.

So that would make executing any code anywhere on the same cpu (anything behind the same cache) potentially vulnerable. JIT or not, kernel or not, ...

How would you feel about having 1692 vertical pixels instead?

Aspect ratio isn't what matters, it's vertical pixels and vertical inches. A 32 inch 16:9 screen is almost exactly the same height as a 30 inch 16:10 screen.

That's a great tip, it's obvious but I didn't think of that as I only incidentally write German. Layers are nice, but they can also be implemented in Dvorak.
They were often outdated anyway, so it's no big loss.

I'm only a Haskell beginner, but I have solved similar task, with parsing that may fail, in CIS 194 course. The solution was based on applicative functors, and I really don't think that Java or other languages have anything like it.

Here's the lecture: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~cis194/spring13/lectures/10-applic... and PDF of the assignment: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~cis194/spring13/hw/10-applicative.... Here's my solution of it: https://github.com/golergka/cis194/blob/master/Homework11/sr...

I hope it's readable enough to illustrate the overall concept - but please bear in mind that I'm a beginner and probably have made dumb mistakes. If you have any criticism or suggestions, I would love to hear and learn from them: learning Haskell is the first time in my software engineering self-education where I wish I had regular contact with instructor or a mentor.

There still Swift Playground, Safari JS console, not to mention old fashioned zsh/bash/ksh to tinker with. The part where the removal of the default macOS Python/Ruby/perl (which don't even have autocompletion) kills her curiosity seems far fetched.
The problem is the alternative. Or rather the total lack of alternative. Because the state won't actually pay for personnel in mental facilities (even for kids), the only option is the isolation cell. Constantly. Obviously without glasses or books, both of which provide options for suicide. Suicidal patients are never let out (because doing that is, of course, an extremely stressful thing to do that necessitates large amounts of staff)

You know what you don't get in an isolation cell ? An optimistic outlook on life.

Even in those circumstances patients often figure out how to commit suicide anyway with the very limited tools they have there. There's plenty of examples of patients that figured it out after 2 months or so. Of course there's also examples people who haven't figured it out after years, but I doubt anyone who's seen that considers it a good outcome.

You have to realize that you're choosing between 2 alternatives. You cannot just choose against something. What I've described here is the only alternative, and yet I feel like the vast majority of people would give these people an alternative, even if it was suicide. I don't think you'd really consider 10 years of this a better alternative to suicide if you were to go and see one of those patients.

And of course, there is the alternative "provided": get the staff angry enough (damage a few of them permanently for example, systematically attack them psychologically and pester them), and there is a point where they will throw you out (will make things worse in the short term of course). That's another thing that can't be prevented.

And I get it. There are other problems. Who judges these people ? Because obviously there's problems there. Who decides if a request is sincere and not forced ? Who executes such requests ?

But still allowing suicide is not the worst thing to do.
Well, I personally like the approach of the article because it allows one to first get the pose correct, and all the proportions, before filling in the details (which can save a lot of work and especially frustration).

Also, if you want to draw convincing animations, then I think that a structural approach is absolutely necessary.
The alternative ethical conclusion is to pay for the services. I would if I could, but a lot of these guys don't offer this because they want a nice broad stroke of people in their data pie.

And that's just where these services are being up front. There's a lot of sneaky underhand tracking that goes on without even being aware of it.

Any software on Windows is a nightmare. Nothing works as it should, least of all MS's own crapware.
My point is that it's a big competition for him.

Bear has a development team and it's $1.49 monthly, even cheaper if you buy annually (I know that that it leverages iCloud, but even then - you can spend 1$ and get 50 gigs of storage to use for anything you want).

Not to even mention that there are so many alternatives. Markdown editor is the new todo app. Everybody is doing one, just look at this thread.
The service provider might be breaking the AGPL, but square isn't liable. It isn' using the AGPL it self and isn't a party to the copyright contract.
Here are my personal top 5 drawings for lazy daddies:

>> The problem is that today these data, produced by everyone, become the property of big companies (the giants of tech), and are used among other things to destabilize our political organizations.

>> Having these data in open access would increase the speed and quality of innovation in all areas.

The phrase "these data, produced by everyone" suggests that this is about personal data, like the data that is used by large corporations to profile users and target advertisement at them. So it's not, or not only scientific data, as the term is normally used.

In that case, then the problem is not how this data is used- it is that it is being collected and retained, in the first place. In other words, the consideration is privacy, not the motive for profit. Opening access to this data will not really do anything to ensure users' privacy. Quite the opposite. It will just make their data freely available to anyone who might want it for any reason at all.
Do you serve the ads yourself or do you defer to third party ad networks? I have no problem with the former, but with the latter I think it's very hard to control what gets displayed, and you're also opening your users up to various attack vectors.

There has got to be a niche available for somebody to do plain old non-evil advertising???

Why would it not be legal? Verifiable does not play a role. You sign a contract that you won’t do it.
This seems to go in a direction similar to Nextcloud. In order to make lasting impact, I think chances would be better by building on top of solutions as such.
Joplin also does this.
Where I grew up most kids were actively trying to not learn anything or at least seem to not be learning. Getting good grades was basically a social life killer, so I see your case as an exception. Hopefully times have changed, but I don't have kids yet so I have no idea how it is now.
If they need to redistribute some AGPL content they are liable.
Network GPL, like GPL but if any system in your network (think of a chain of micro services) uses an AGPL/AGPL-like dependency, then all of your services have to be open sourced too.
Basically, if you use the software to expose a service, your service becomes subject to the same terms as if you were distributing the code behind it.

Because the snide remark was agreeing with the reasonable statement, and mocking Apple.

And that is why Apple devices are more secure, faster, more privacy-respecting, and last much longer with good performance. That trade-off is absolutely worth it to me.
I'm interested how you and the GP think it reduces bureaucracy?

Surely it's more, now a bunch of "contractors" have to do loads of company admin off the clock.

It's just a dodge, shifting bureaucracy and costs from a company onto an individual who's being forced to masquerade as a company. And possibly a flash in the pan, it is certainly possible the gig economy will be an illegal working practice in 20 years time in socially progressive countries.
I don't understand why are there so many proponents of the AGPL when it's one of the most restrictive and therefore against freedom licences there are.

I wouldn't touch it, but watching it up close is quite interesting.
He's mocking the fact that the title says APGL instead of AGPL
I looked it up. Agpl is meant to close the loophole whereby, you know Google can use GPL tools while they index the web but I can't demand a copy of their private repos source code, since I just get to use the result (over the web). Agpl closes this loophole.

I think gpl is enough for web apps. I don't think I should have the right to demand all of gmail's or google search's server-side code if they use but don't distribute gpl software as part of making it.

But all companies need to steer really clear of agpl code. Even editing an image using an agpl image editor could taint the image, even though you're not exporting any code.

I would absolutely demand that anyone working for me not use any agpl software. I think it would taint even the copywrite on a logo.

Maybe I would be tainted by publishing a document they wrote in an agpl text editor, even if they license it to me.

Just my impression after 5 minutes of research. If someone has more detailed legal position please do correct whatever I got wrong.
This makes absolutely no sense. I'm almost certain that Square lawyers fucked up big time.

They looked at the AGPL and completely misunderstood the context. There is no way in hell anyone can interpret AGPL in a way that makes Square responsible for any license violations their customers make selling software.
Except for example when the user needs to either do something only doable in kernel space or to diagnose and analyze kernel behavior.

I would have loved an option like this for example when working with a power management issue last time (PCI-e surprise removal and hot-plug can be annoying!)... Sure, I can use remote kernel debuggers etc., but those can be sometimes a hassle to set up, not always the most convenient option.

Like when an issue occurs on the other side of the world, and kernel dumps and tracing leads nowhere. Having an extra option for easy injection of code in kernel would be a nice thing to have in the toolbox.

In other words, one-off scenarios. It wouldn't be something you'd release for wider use.

Knee-jerk reactions have been somewhat off-putting lately. All of us should keep in mind other people might have a completely different mindset, problems and needs than our own. We should celebrate new ideas and novel points of view and not to brainlessly use existing dogma or cheap talking points to immediately slam them.

(I've developed (among other things) commercial kernel drivers for Windows. And "for fun" for Linux just to keep my skills updated.)
Boostnote FTW
I disagree, this is how I learned by myself (no book, no adults) and it was so much fun! The book just makes a system of it: you identify basic shapes to create an envelope then enjoy tracing beautiful lines.

People used to say I have "a gift", that was annoying. So many times I offered to teach anybody (using a similar method as the book) but no one ever accepted. "See? It's not a gift, some people just want to put the hours".
All it does is ensure copyleft works with software as a service, in which you don't even get a binary that you could, with GPL, request the sources for.
This seems either a prank or ideologically motivated. Beyond the fact that there is no legal reason to prevent your users from using copyrighted code since you are not breaking copyright if you are not a party to the contract, the wording is bad - there could be similar licenses that are problematic but aren't named AGPL v2 (or greater)
To be fair, I'm not sure OpenBSD is targeted at the "average user".
It removes developer freedoms in order to ensure user freedoms; claiming it is "against freedoms" is like saying the Bill of Rights--which restricts the acts of government--is "against freedom".
OP should talk to Octave Klaba who is very approachable and a big supporter of the FOSS spirit. maybe he can cut you a good price. I'd certainly try him (add him on LinkedIn and pitch it ... or oles at ovh.net )
I'm saying we should look at it from the people in that market perspective and the value it brings them or not. The fact that Apple is not including by default is significant. They expect the vast majority of their customer to no need the stand. The option to have a stand at all is probably only for very small shop, like youtube star, and for them they have to see it as buying a 6K monitor, which is probably still a good deal for them as it gives them an affordable alternative to a reference monitor.

In general, it is a specifically designed stand for a monitor targetted at a very small part of an already niche market. So yeah, it's expensive.
Because for some people, open source is not about freedom of use of the software, but freedom of source. They feel that existing FOSS licences can't protect against modification without release in the case of cloud usage, so they use this licence to protect the openness of modification.
>But all companies need to steer really clear of agpl code. Even editing an image using an agpl image editor could taint the image, even though you're not exporting any code.

This is an outrageous claim. Citation needed.
