Why do people confuse QOS with network neutrality? Those are two completely separate concerns. Still baffles me to this day.
I was keying in my confirmation code into the self checkin machine to get my boarding pass the other day. The code was something like EFO123. Was that a letter or a digit? I got it wrong, fortunately the software said it interpreted 0 as O and gave me the ticket.

In Romania you can choose a maternal/paternal leave of up to 2 years, during which you are still employed by the same employer -- you are payed by the state a percentage of your previous income, but you are still employed.

No need to explain any gap, because there won't be a gap in your resume, and it is nobody's business asking question about maternal/paternal leaves(I'm pretty sure it would be illegal to ask such private information anyway).
It's not as good at searching for places.

That comment was not acting like there was a conspiracy,just avoiding a controversial topic.

Anecdote: In my company the reasons that lots of women got promoted were: A. They wanted to (or at least didn't mind) manage people (unlike most of the male engineers) and B. They didn't have particulalry strong technical skills so the company could afford to lose them doing as much of the actual work.
It's not as big as Linux, Chromium, Dart and others. All of my projects are still compatible with C++ Qt 4. I'm able to and I will maintain it as soon as someone is estabilshing a free fork; up to now I'm being held back by this outrageous Contributor Agreement.
A lot of unnecessary complexity started with all the JavaScript stuff. This can be replaced by the other existing (and free) scripting language bindings. So yes, I don't see any problem to continue maintenance of the Qt framework without the Qt company at all.

They're not saying net neutrality is bad, but that it isn't well suited for latency sensitive applications like gaming. Which appears to be true; it's the whole reason Riot has their own network, after all.

> Qt use is increasing and it shows in the number of buying customers.

As if that was of any relevance to the question whether many Qt developers are switching. Given that commercial licenses are only used by a very small minority of the professional developers using Qt (most using open source Qt), themselves only a subset of all developers using Qt… the fact that that small minority is currently increasing while remaining a small minority… doesn't say anything about the proportion of still Qt using developers switching away.

Besides, the sustainability of a temporary increase of that minority is highly questionable. Of course QTCOM's pressure towards Pay-to-Play temporarily forces some of those who are still tied by all of their still-Qt-based code to buy Qt licenses as long as they haven't finished switching to a better alternative… but on the long term most of them quit too. Precisely because of that.

We'll see how that strategy of maximal monetization and maximally squeezing developers works out for QTCOM in the long term
Sure, you need a way to verify that the package has been locked by who you thought you were sending it to.

Your attack would work by removing Bob completely, you just play his part in the protocol.

This is true for any protocol though. If you don't know who you're talking to then you could be talking to anyone.

In practice most protocols get around this by either pre-sharing a private key, or using a public/private key pair with a challenge round to establish identities.
Although Rust's type system does catch a lot, I wouldn't say it's that effective. I, for one, will usually make an off-by-one error or forget that I left a stub somewhere and didn't come back to write a proper implementation. But it's easily caught by the most rudimentary tests; so you don't have to bother yourself with writing them as elaborate as people usually do with e.g. Python.

welcome to the rent seeking effects of occupational licensing, where you have to put more hours to do hair than be an EMT in some areas. either to pad the pockets of those providing the "education" or those in the industry looking to keep competition low.

Look at it from the perspective of a random game developer: which one do you actually have more control over?

You're essentially asking, "why don't you ignore the thing that definitely works right now, and instead try the thing that might work out in a decade or two if you get lucky?" Why would any sane business choose that option?
Unwrapping results with pattern matching in "match" or "if let" lets you handle error conditions safely.
The potential for audit is powerful on its own.

Do you remember the shareware days? Installing something you wanted meant getting a bunch of browser toolbars etc.

The potential for forking is also powerful.
No, that is completely wrong.

If you can _see_ the source, then it is _shared_ source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Source_Initiative).
If you can _use_ and _change_ it, then it's a _open_ source.

Are you going to tell me next that "free speech" means not paying for the radio? And that everything else is just one interpretation of the term? Or that freeware and free software are interchangeable terms?

Interesting, I was recently researching the idea of using Webrtc on the backend. Don't have to worry about setting up DNS, SSL, etc on each host, and could spin up and down as needed. I would use a signaling database/api microservice though. Got an idea for an app related to virtual worlds, and was thinking webrtc on the backend would be neat to use for the instances in the backend.

One of the downsize though is opening up firewall ports. So if you wanted to run instances in a more locked-down environment using containers... So be nice if you could just open up a few ports and have multiple connections go over them. Looks like not many projects are trying this though, so not sure how well of an idea this is though, but something about it just seemed neat and might possibly be an advantage. For the voice stuff you are forced to use webrtc anyways it seems since more optimized for audio than using regular WebSockets as far as I know.

https://github.com/node-webrtc/node-webrtc/issues/584

Another idea I was thinking is to run some services inside of Kubernetes, and the services needing webrtc outside of Kubernetes with an API in-between. Nothing solid yet, just still exploring the idea though.
Me too, although currently the lowest resolution of reports from Apple via the API is daily sales, no way to get last 24 hours at the moment (which I would be most interested in).

Agreed. The GPL has been a great success, so much so it's been banned by capitalists in their organizations with the result of dying pretty much everywhere except the kernel, GNU userland and an occasional dual licensed fully enterprise-copyrighted software. BSD with its take it and run with it approach enables people to make a living by modifying (or selling unmodified) software. The situation is dire especially in the internet non-core-router infrastructure.
Thanks for the hint. Didn't know it. As it seems it is no longer Qt. They once started with Qt (don't know which version) but they have "completely diverged" as they say. The goal is not to have a free Qt but to have "Extensive use of modern C++ functionality" (with all these buzzwords). Not even shure if their containers are still implicitly shared. Will even though continue to have a look at it.
In Sweden, you pay taxes for healthcare and everyone receives healthcare.

In the USA, you pay taxes for healthcare, but only the old and the poor receive that tax funded healthcare. So the average taxpayer has to buy their own health insurance in addition.

The linked chart also shows a clear correlation with Purchasing Power Parity, which also should be accounted for.

Aye. While guaranteeing the information is absolutely gone is often impossible, you should at least do what you can make it more difficult to retrieve or be accidentally revealed.

> and encrypt the drives

If you are using VMs then full disk encryption within the VM will work just as well, and most cloud services can offer effectively the same thing with their containers.

You just have to be very careful with key management, which in some cases may be inconvenient (blocking restart until you intervene to provide keys, if you don't want them stored on or directly accessible by the same provider) depending on how paranoid you feel the need to be. Of course if you are truly paranoid, by character or by contractual necessity, keys in memory on shared infrastructure even temporarily could be an issue at which point you need "dedicated cloud" resource or colo/self-host for the affected parts of your apps/infrastructure.
MIT/BSD is in a kill free software phase, where commercialization of SAAS and other services are king.

MIT/BSD is turning open source software, in to open source dev tools and libraries, no longer is should the end user software be free and open, no just the tools, frameworks, languages, and libraries used to create the end user software

I would not call this trend "amazing"
I fail to see how that is in any way the heart of the matter. The articles mentions someone being mad completely in passing, in a quoted tweet. If anyone in this HN thread is mad, they're a tiny minority because I haven't seen any.

Instead it seems more like the heart of your comment is that you view everything in terms of an ideological battle between the Free Software movement and everyone else. So when you came upon an article and HN thread calmly discussing a maintainer's decision to change their project's license for understandable reasons but in a somewhat underhanded way, you immediately sorted everyone into heroes and villains and self-righteously took a stand.
sure, then how do you explain the continuous drama made here on HN and on Reddit about the faulty Keyboard (for 3 years), the speakers that "pop" (fresh on MBP 16") and thermal throttling?

Looks like if you're using an 'old' release (<=1.36 , like me) it is time to upgrade.

It's worth noting that these are Saudi (ok, Gulf Council. But Saudi..) demands, not US demands.

US and Saudi interests are not completely aligned here, although Turkish behaviour since has pushed them back closer togther (in particular buying Russian missile defence systems).
I wasn't aware that osxfuse is distributed by Google. If that is the case then I am sorry for spreading false information and indeed, the GPL would apply.

Unreinforced masonry, like a church, are extremely inefficient in terms of material and labor, think 6 foot deep walls that taper up to carry load. Optimally, bricks work in conjunction with reinforced concrete skeleton for modern construction. Cost is also a big factor, especially in developed countries, more so for high quality finishes. There's a case for small brick constructions in less developed countries with high unemployment and low wages.

In terms of embodied energy, brick veneer (composite of materials with a layer of exterior brick) typically have the best life-cycle ecological performance, 20%-60% better, compared to curtain wall (glass+steel) and precast concrete panels, across many climates and regions. Engineered wood for buildings is probably the better option in the long run. There's a lot of movement recently, construction is a very slow and conservative industry though. Probably need for results to be validated. A lot of claims are by industry publications. But intuitively it feels right.
> after the trauma of nomadic invasions, Eastern societies created institutions primarily aimed at defence rather than economic development, even over the following centuries when the threat had long disappeared.

This is not even wrong and assumes that old institutions were built on some deep strategic policy considerations. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth did have "nomadic invasions" even in the 17th century, but its main institutions were built on republican ideology, and more authoritarian/centralist arguments at the time were based mainly on internal affairs, not external threats. On the other hand, which Early Modern countries had institutions aimed primarily at "economic development"? It's probably debatable in the cases of the Netherlands and England.

Also they neglect to mention that many of these countries were not even independent for a long time. Modern populist Poland and Hungary, incidentally, both have had continuously own elites and statehood traditions since around 900-1000 AD (in contrast to some other Eastern European countries). But in Hungary in 16th-middle 19th century, Poland in the 19th century their own elites had to take the back seat or struggle with the foreign empires. So they weren't the ones creating dominant institutions.

And these, I would say, were the real formative years. If we are to play "find historical roots", the current Polish government (and probably the Hungarian one) is the direct descendant of romantic nationalist tendencies of the 19th century. It's basically LARP'ing a fight for independence which appeals to the intellectual core of these political camps. But admittedly it's hard to build nice charts out of it.

I can confirm that. I have a couple of games on App Store that use it. I built them initially in 2015 and have updated them a couple of months ago with the latest libGDX.

I used RoboVM just like that person in the article, but I used it with Intellij IDEA instead of Android Studio.

It works and it's pretty easy and straightforward to set up.
There are a lot of assumptions in there that I don't think are necessarily founded. Is knowing someone enough for you to make assumptions about whether they will gain much from higher education? That seems awfully judgmental to me.

I'll also add that this: "However in those countries there are a lack of people who are qualified to work in highly educated fields and a surplus of blue collar workers." is absolutely not the case in the European country where I live. When you talk about the state of "those countries", what countries are you talking about and what are you basing that statement on?
If it disappears "overnight", then would the right comparison be to daily GDP? which would increase the computed percentages by a factor of 365.

Clearly it is not sensible to compare two quantities with different dimensions of $ and $/time. It is like comparing distance (miles) to speed (miles/hr). Changing units to (meters/sec) doesn't change the absurdity in any way.
Worse, everything.anything is now treated as a domain, leading to accidentally trying to browse when watching to search for dot separated programming terms such as libraries.
And I think rapsey is referring to the fact that a compiler with a more powerful type system allows you to encode more logic in your types. This, in turn, means it will catch more errors at compile time at the cost of longer compile times.
It's outrageously expensive. And you can't just buy what you really need, just all or nothing. In many projects I only need Qt Core; for that I would have to buy a license for everything from these people with a far worse contract than LGPL and pay royalties. No thanks.

There are a number of ... not-very-good books on the subject (I picked up Carolyn Kennedy's 1990s effort, it's ... poor).

A challenge is that privacy itself is an emergent concept (this is my view, not one widely shared), which is a response to ever-more invasive or capable technologies. As such, much of the relevant caselaw and legal thinking is fairly new, and reflects advances in publishing (Brandeis and Warren), recording, transmission, and detection.

There are some historical antecedants.

Some of the more interesting non-legal-scholar work has come from Jill Lepore in recent years. I'd suggest her work as at the least a good entry point. She's a historian, and should be copiously documenting sources which may be of interest. Unseen: A History of Privacy (2013) https://scholar.harvard.edu/jlepore/presentations/unseen-his...

The Unwanted Gaze by Jeffrey Rosen (2001) addresses concerns as the Internet age was beginning to mature.

And that's already a somewhat advanced and not really required luxury; my parents mentioned how they still had an outhouse instead of a toilet indoors, and a friend of mine lived in a rental house, not even THAT old, that didn't have central heating (just a big gas heater in the living room, they made do with electric heaters in the bedrooms).

And of course my dad (in his 60's) still remembers the time when there was no sewer and some people still had barrels of sewage that were picked up once a week.

A lot of games already (excusively!) use private networks these days, and even older games like Dawn of War 1 and Civilization 4* had their Internet multiplayer removed for Steam's (V?)PN.

A lot of blame is on "I"SPs filtering traffic and sometimes not even giving access to the router so that the host can do port forwarding!

*Non-Steam Civ4 still has Internet multiplayer. After complaints Steam also allowed to revert to the latest official patch using their "beta" feature (for some reason the new Steam patch also breaks the mods - even if they are played even more overwhelmingly in single player! - and Civ4 has one of the biggest mod communities thanks to its semi-open source C++/Python/XML modding).

We need something like carbon credits for open source. As in, if you contribute to open source you earn credits. If you make lots of use of open source but don't contribute back you need to buy open source credits.

How we would value open source is a tricky question. Would AWS owe a gazillion credits for all the hours of linux and apache they've burnt? Probably doesn't make sense. Maybe a logarithmic scale. But the real value of open source isn't dollars but people time (which, if you've had a pile of dollars and tried to spend it to employ people to do something, you will know is not the same thing). How many people hours is there in producing something like FUSE, and how many hours saved by end users? Maybe that determines the utility.

Until we have a value and a currency for open source there won't be an open source economy.
