On your first point - it is a completely idealistic worldview to believe that somehow, without effort everyone should be treated equally by everyone else, without any conflicts about boundaries, what you are worth etc.

If you are not willing to fight for your corner, that is an issue with you. You can't expect the world to come to your rescue.

This is just as true in relationships as in business. What happens when your partner dumps 100 tasks on you and doesn't realise they're being a dick? Will you stand up for yourself? Or there's just some simple situation where the other person doesn't see your perspective?

Life is full of situations where you either stand up for yourself, and communicate, or someone runs you over by standing up for themselves. And they might not do it with bad intentions, it's just that everyone has different interests.

If you aren't assertive, you need to learn to be, or accept that you will be treated unfairly. There are obviously nuances to this entire point, you might be able to outsource your assertiveness to others, like a friend to help you, or a union at work or whatever, but unfortunately there will always be situations in life where you need to stand up for yourself, and if you don't, that's 100% your fault and responsibility, no one elses.
Interfacing with C++ is a lot of work and there is no language in existence that can do that effortlessly. Nim and D are the ones that come close. Julia's interoperability with C/C++ is quite poor according to feedback from more experienced Julia users.
TikTok is a company, and has many competitors, there would not be any issue for anyone to develop a tiktok copycat. Why should it be banned under a free market? Plenty of silicon valley leadership have their political allegiance. Why would that be a problem for the users?
If you want to use this in a business, either for an internal tool or for an application you sell, this is a horrible idea.

Godot doesn't display native widgets, so it has no support for accessibility, for example to screen readers and blind users. Some people think blind people bring too little profit to care, but this is wrong for one single reason. There are some laws mandating accessibility, and more laws are being passed, for example in the EU. Even if you don't really focus on accessibility at this point, you always want to keep your options open, in case the law forces you to. If you choose Electron, WX or even QT, some minor tweaks will usually be enough to make it right. If you choose Godot, you will need to rewrite the whole thing from the ground, which might kill your business, or risk fines and litigation, which might also kill your business. This is even true about internal tools, as there are laws mandating accessibility of the tools used at the workplace, and you never know when a blind person gets hired for a job they theoretically should be able to perform.

This might sound very harsh, but it's important to get this right early, as one bad decision here is usually irreversible. Of course, this applies not just to Godot, but to any GUI tool which doesn't implement accessibility properly (including those that theoretically work on the web, but use canvas instead of DOM rendering).

Freedom != free beer
We're mostly willing to keep enjoying the fruits of Chinese labour because the lifestyle that has emerged in most Western Countries the last 20-25 years depend on the availability of cheaply manufactured goods. Outsourcing of production, import, distribution and selling of those goods is still cheaper than producing them locally, and this allowed a small number of people to skim money off the top and get quite rich, while consumers still get more for their money compared to the old ways.

We would be able to cut China off if we wanted to, but prices on electronics, clothing, and many other goods would soar, and I suspect it would piss the younger generations off even more, possibly increasing the risk of civil unrest. In the West, Generations X and XY still remember what life was like before the availability of goods reached current levels, but I can't imagine that the younger generations even realise what it would mean to go back.

Besides, you'd probably have to get rid of the post-war generations first in order to get them to agree to it.

Thus, we'll just have to grab some popcorn, watch the show and keep trying to put out the fires, hoping the entire house doesn't burn down. As you say, it's not going to be fun.

I think the point of an article like this is to make developers aware that the "OSS" tool they are using is not as open as they think it is.

As a developer, you might choose to invest in truly OSS workflows which don't involve proprietary MS technologies, and you might not be aware that you're not doing that by choosing VSCode.

I once applied for a grant with the Core Infrastructure Initiative, the predecessor of the OpenSSF. It took me about half a day to write and submit a proposal, only to never hear back. After a couple of weeks, I tried to contact the Linux Foundation through their contact form and ask about my grant application, without success. Then I tried to contact some responsible people directly. I never got a single reply.

That's just shameful. Organizations like the Linux Foundation are antithetical to core idea of Open Source which is, well, openness.

But maybe Microsoft can bring some change into these encrusted institutions. BTW, I'm the maintainer of the XML parser and XSLT engine in your latest web browser. Bet you never even heard of me. There are quite a few security-related issues that still need work.
I know maybe you’re trying to give advice, but all I think when reading your comment is: “what a pretentious prick, what a great example of saying nothing and adding nothing to the conversation“ - your comment made me cringe. For me you’ve illustrated the point well that many in the existing elite - with inherited privilege, knowledge, and position in hierarchy - are ruined by money and obsessed with status signaling through 'elite consumerism' as a form of identity.

I mean, there are human beings who are making these ridiculously overpriced vanity watches day in, day out, in a miserable factory somewhere. All I see when I see these ads for Patek Phillippe, or similar, is a hopeless human doing work that they won't benefit from.

I wish rentier capitalism would end now, so we’d all live in a Commons-based peer production life where everyone was fed, instead of this ‘some people will buy a Ferrari and a rolex today, and some children will die from malnutrition’-world.

Luxury is a scam. The ultra rich (read: dominators) are just as anxious as the Precariat, scared to lose it all. Not to mention their kids are often ruined and unbearable people. [1]

Edit: when I write "Patek or similar" I am really talking about any type of 'luxury good', like a Prada bag, or a cheaper-than-Rolex Michael Kors watch etc.

The people 'defending' Patek are missing my point (or I am missing them?) My point is that living in a world with artificial scarcity-creating systems is disturbing to me (Rentier Capitalism by Prof Guy Standing)[1]. It constantly surprises me how our priorities became the way they are with many of us in chains, and a few rolling around in a pool of blood-stained gold and diamonds. [2],[3]

It's the same strategy that Google follows for Android. The secret juice of the Android app ecosystem is in the Google Play services... And that's entirely proprietary. So even though the OS is open source, it's impossible to truly build an alternative ecosystem. I agree with the author that the marketing rings falsey.

If a drug cures 2% cases of cancer patients, with absolutely no downside, it wouldn't be a cure for cancer. It would be incredible, but still it cannot be claimed to be a cure for cancer.

The name and branding all suggest the font to counter dyslexia generally. That would be ridiculously misguiding if it only helps tiny fraction of dyslexia. Is it a helpful invention? But it's far from what the branding promises.

Of course readers can decide for themselves whether it works for them or not; but a misleading branding is still misleading.
My experience is completely the opposite.

Go is excellent for cross-compilation. The same compiler can compile to a lot of platforms out of the box, and making portable applications requires very little to no platform-specific code. Go's standard library exposes a consistent API across all platforms, and external dependencies also do a really good job at this.

Rust, on the other hand, requires installation of subsystems, and only few of them are properly supported ("Tier 1"). Even a common target such as linux/arm is constantly broken. Dependencies, including popular ones such as libc, are incomplete and not really tested on systems that are not linux/windows/macos.

Even on these 3 platforms, writing portable code requires a platform-specific code.
Maybe I'm just an amateur, but this whole idea of negotiating your salary being some complex, strategic parlay--like you're brokering peace in the middle east--doesn't really match my experience with getting job offers. It's not like there are a lot of dimensions to bargain around. You get an offer from the company, and you can basically do one of three things:

1. Accept the offer

2. Walk away

3. Say "How about more compensation?"

If you do 3, the company will either say:

3a) (95% of the time) "How about no?"

or

3b) "How about this small amount more?"

And from there you can accept or walk away and that's pretty much it. You can write the decision tree on a post-it note. What are people talking about when they say "aggressive and strategic"? Bang on the table more? Yell and scream? What are you captains of industry doing that the rest of us aren't? In my view, we are just workers--our only leverage is our willingness to walk away, which is usually fine with the company. They have a long line of candidates out the door.

It continues to be damning that the leadership of Microsoft did not buy Vine [1] from Twitter in 2017 for pennies on the dollar before Vine was shutdown. Vine was very popular, and a lot of people were very disappointed when it was shutdown back when Twitter was bleeding a lot cash.

Yes - fun story:

End of last year I participated in an investor meeting where our tech stack was criticized for being "too legacy", when in fact (in the security industry) it's pretty damn critical to provide robustness and integrity over ${LATEST_SHINY_JS_FRAMEWORK}.

It's probably good that relationship didn't end up working.
Your comment neatly alludes to the difference between the Open Source philosophies and the Free Software philosophy, and the biggest point of difference is "freedom for whom?" wherein OSS is about freedom for developers and FSF is about freedom for users.

Most users don't actually fall in either camp, and largely care about free as in beer (gratis), or possibly free as in doesn't require complex purchasing processes that require signoff or approvals.

On the other hand you have IntelliJ which is closed source, and doesn't have any live share feature. Despite it being a highly voted feature on their feature/bug tracking site

We had a similar experience, so I'm just sharing the path we took.

We were using New Relic APM and Server Monitoring through the Microsoft BizSpark benefits for an year or two. We were even ready to pay for their licenses, but New Relic pricing for multi-server use was starkly high for a small tech company like ours. Their product was good, but their focus was more on enterprise customers.

After trying out many other commercial products (focusing on .NET Core stack in particular), and keeping long-term scalability and TCO in mind, we decided to utilize some open source solutions.

First we tried Bosun[1] (from the Stack Exchange team), but found little progress being made on it. Then, we tried Prometheus[2] collectors for monitoring, Grafana[3] for the dashboards and alerting, and Exceptional[4] for logging. One person got it all working within a week. We've never looked back, and have to hardly touch the set-up anymore (except for system updates once in a while). It has worked beautifully for almost two years now, going from 2 to a few dozen apps/servers/VMs.

Hope it helps you, and others, explore the open source monitoring route.

The issue here is that Microsoft pretends to be FOSS-friendly while they are not.

It is when you are going to potentially get into legal trouble for improving said software. Or when your code is leaked due to an extension whose code you can't inspect.

> the same thing that happened to all those people using ...

Just because you do not know about it it does not mean that it has not happened. In addition would you be willing to be the first person that this happens to? If they had nothing shady to hide they would release the source of said addons.

(also, IntelliJ and Sublime are paid software, they are not closed source for the fun of it, unlike the subject of this topic)

Exactly. I always knew about VSCodium but was lazy. This article (thank you!) made me stop procrastinating. I have replaced VSCode with VSCodium now.
The tech giants leverage the profits they get from dominating one area to compete in another. You can't build a hyperscale cloud without being able to spend billions. Amazon subsidizes AWS using their e-commerce business, Google with advertising, Microsoft with Windows/Office/etc.

Microsoft has a long history of giving things away for free in order to hamstring their competitors. Netscape is the prime example. MS is very good at developer tools. How can any commercial editor compete with the amount of resources they are putting into making VS Code and giving it away for free?

MS fundamentally needs their remote editing tools to support developing for Linux-based containers on Windows. Then they leverage it to debug containers running in the cloud from VS Code. But then they keep competitors from using the server side extensions. We need an open source server for this.

Anti-trust needs to look at more than the monetary cost to consumers. It should consider the long term health of the ecosystem.
Every single claim you make here requires scientific evidence as in actual studies that demonstrate such effects. Are you seriously trying to argue that not wearing a mask at all is the optimal way to handle a highly infectious respiratory pathogen? You should be advocating increased availability of N95 or better rated masks instead. I believe the US has made a serious error in only allocating N95 masks to hospitals. The gamble is that surgical masks or cloth masks are enough, but they don't filter very well. Cloth masks are woven and have large holes everywhere making them only somewhat better than nothing. Surgical masks were never intended for serious filtration and don't even form a decent seal. BTW manufacturer claims or disclaimers are not evidence for anything in particular and are irrelevant.

Iran is an industrial country. That's why Venesuela's economy crumbled after a year of sanctions and Iran's has endured decades: They produce a huge amount of their needs locally.

Of course my accent isn’t what an English person would consider posh, my schooling was normal and my “style” is actually clueless tinged with apathy. Snap judgments can be really wrong.

I'm dyslexic and on my kindle I use the OpenDyslexic font. Which works really well for me!

The bottom half of the letters are a bit fatter which makes it easier in my head to read. I have no idea what's the science behind this. It's makes it easier for me to read a bit longer without getting sick of reading.

Not sure if it's faster than other fonts but it reads more relaxed.

However on this www page you don't see the font go to: https://opendyslexic.org/
