Absolutely false. Anyone can at any time create any open source for their own reasons. They don't need your permission. Open Source is not about you - https://gist.github.com/richhickey/1563cddea1002958f96e7ba95...

One advantage of using a very open-ended type system like TypeScript's is that you don't have to know as much up-front.

I could declare some type Foo, and that type might end up being:

- A class

- A record type

- A union type

- An intersection type

- A constant

or whatever else. But I can go ahead and start referring to that type in terms of function signatures, etc. Particularly for this kind of sketch-coding, it's really nice to be able to declare a concept and start talking about it before you even know what it is.
There is a good chance that something like what the author proposes is occurring, especially if you consider the Windows product distinct from the NT kernel. Does it make sense in the long run to support two separate Office code bases - the web based ones, and the desktop versions? I don't think it does, and I would think that Edge/Chromium is going to be their new base upon which the present day web based versions of office are going to be integrated into such that they can gain desktop access, similar to VS-Code and Teams running in Electron. VS-Code is wildly popular with developers, so there is some evidence that the user experience can be a positive one.

Large corporate applications are increasingly being built using web tech, which doesn't require Windows. If an organization can run a web based desktop and provide a remote desktop for "legacy" Windows apps, then this can reduce admin costs and improve security. The browser is increasingly the platform and the underlying OS just doesn't matter as much anymore.

At some point in the not too distant future, it won't make sense financially to continue to put a lot of R&D into the Windows kernel. It won't make sense financially to maintain two versions of Office and the huge amount of logistics that entails. If Microsoft can slide Windows over a different kernel (and it has been done before from Win95/DOS to NT), they can still preserve their user base, but reduce a lot of dev money spent on maintaining the NT kernel. Same goes for the legacy Office applications. If they can reduce their development spend, and focus resources on the app+win layer, this is what they are going to do.
Yeah, totally subjective at the end of the end of the day.

I think we are in a very new is cool mode right now that reminds me of the early 2000s and I think you will get your wish with old being rediscovered The next 10 years.

>For a US citizen who has been given classified information it may be illegal and treasonous to leak classified US information to some one who doesn't have the clearance to get access to it.

Actually, here in the US, we don't have licensed journalists. As such anyone may act as one. Government employees (including members of the military) and contractors can be and have been charged and convicted with misuse/dissemination of classified information. What's more, private citizens working in the employ of a foreign government have also been charged and convicted for providing classified information to that foreign government.

However, no US journalist (and remember, anyone can be a journalist) has ever been convicted under the Espionage Act. Ever.

As such, it seems incredibly unlikely that Assange would be convicted under that Espionage Act. I guess we'll just have to see.

I take issue with the title of this posting, as (at least in the UK[0]), an Extradition Hearing is not a trial, nor is it intended to be one.

We are still working our way through the beta list — we've received tens of thousands of applications and we're trying to grow responsibly. We will definitely get to you (and everyone else who applies), but it may take some time.

We are generally prioritizing people with a specific application they'd like to build, if you email me directly (gdb@openai.com) I may be able to accelerate an invite to you.
I have used Sun StarOffice, OpenOffice and LibreOffice.

What they have in common is a bad, unappealing UI that looks like developer art. The features you need are there, but you have to fight the UI to get to them.

Poor choice of fonts, small margins + large text that make things look crowded, poor choice of color pallette, low contrast between text and background making it hard to read, ugly icons... and I could just go on and on.

What the Document Foundation needs to emphasize right now is finding UI/UX designers and graphical designers that establish guidelines for the UI on their projects.

I wanted to like LibreOffice, but after years of trying, I honestly can't use it anymore. I use SoftMaker FreeOffice now. I understand it's not open source, but it's quality software I can use on Linux.

No? The concept is that a unit of diffing (a line, or a tree node in your hypothetical tree-diffing approach) can be ambiguous until another patch resolves the ambiguity.

RMS is a very black and white, tunnel visioned, ideologue: there's no gray. You can ask him his thoughts about a great new general technology and he'll stop you before you describe it and ask how it pertains to open source; if you don't answer exactly in alignment he will immediately dismiss you and shut down the conversation without hearing the question. (edit, I tried this once in person). He's absolutely correct, having given us the route to modern software reuse, but at the same time a highly dysfunctional person.
I'm gonna go on a slight tangent, about the Haxe language.

I had seen this before -- it's really cool! I never dug enough into the site to realize the creator was also on Dead Cells.

The most interesting part to me, is the use of Haxe (in Dead Cells!).

Haxe is to code what Esperanto was meant to be for spoken language.

> "Haxe can build cross-platform applications targeting JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP, Flash, and allows access to each platform's native capabilities. Haxe has its own VMs (HashLink and NekoVM) but can also run in interpreted mode."

Syntactically, there's "nothing new to see here" -- it may as well be Not-Quite-Typescript (with some other goodies; Pattern-Matching, GADT's, compile-time behavior, etc).

But it never "took off". Yet here I learn that very impressive software/stunning games have been written in it, by incredibly knowledgeable folks.

What happened with Haxe, where did it fail? I've never tried it myself, but I have a passion for pixelated 2D/isometric games and the tutorials on the authors' site are very sound, so I might give it a shot.
This lovely page grabbed my attention and held it until I scrolled the last text box to the top. The shifting focus across the displayed works was particularly effective, evoking a visit to a museum with a well-informed guide.

I was reminded of pre-internet days, when it was hard for a small-town child to see art, so any available art book or magazine got trance-like attention. This webpage was a sort of time machine for me.

In this and similar pages that marry method and message, the nytimes has demonstrated how to breath life into the web.
Even better: If possible, don't ask for a signup until the user has actually tried your product. Just create a guest account which is deleted if unclaimed for a week or so, and disable "sensitive" features that could be abused.

I have a couple of sites where I allow them to use the product just like a signed-in user, but to save their work, they need to sign in. So people can play around and try things about before entrusting me with their email.
Haha yes! I've built so many things that no one needs because I felt they weren't quite perfect enough to get feedback.

A prior is not based on ignorance of your own knowledge.

My prior about the number of letters
in the question is based on what I do know about what I don’t know.

I know nobody has told me. I know the letters are not alternating in color. I know the letters are not in a grid. I know there are more letters than a quick visual would allow me to count - e.g. more than 8, etc.
The real answer if you're working in the space is that users will take a free thing over a paid/ad thing any day. They'll usually come up with some rationalization (don't like DRM, don't like targeting, etc.) but the reality is they just don't want to pay.

Don't fall into the trap of ever trying to build for these guys. No money will ever arrive, only ever more obscure conditions for the money.

There are places where users will pay. Just make things for them instead.

I'm not necessarily agreeing with GP, but your broad brush in vilifying such a large group of individuals based on that seems to be really unfair and inappropriate.
Hey! Definitely look at the other advice here, and take mine with a grain of salt. However, I want to offer a slightly opposing view.

"I no longer have the financial means to take a step back into a less senior role at a company with a larger engineering team"

I would argue you can't afford to stay where you are. If you're not happy and feel under-qualified (true or not), you'll never get promoted again. You're dooming your career ultimately, for a short-term tradeoff.

Now, that's not to say you should go more junior! Rather, you need to find your zone of genius. It sounds a bit cheesy, but I recommend you spend some time trying to figure out what you're both good at AND enjoy:

https://medium.com/the-mission/6-ways-to-uncover-your-person...

There are so many highly-paid/highly-rewarded roles in tech! I think you're underestimating your ability to find a job you both love and which will value you (financially and intrinsically).

To sum it up: you don't need mentorship, you just need a new job :) After 5 years, that feels insurmountable. It's not!

It's not clear that the person who agreed to decoded the password hash was, in fact, Assange. This is another US allegation but it is by no means proven.
It seems like he didn’t actively attack the US, he simply passed on information freely given to him by US citizens. It’s hard to see how him doing that, not being a US citizen and not being in the US, is any worse than anything hundreds of journalists do all over the world every day.
The Adrian Lamo chat logs (published by Wired) show Assange was contacted by Manning with express intent to leak. So there was no conspiracy.

Not disagreeing with the rest of your post, just pointing this out because there is no reason to retreat to the common sense position you advocate. The fact that you have to make such a sensible point is a reflection of the deep deceit and dishonesty of the prosecutors who clearly know this and are omitting it in order to try and paint a portrait of conspiracy that is factually wrong and they know it.

Google Docs is buggy and falls apart if you aren't doing something simple like writing a letter.

In the vaguest sense, sure. But if a file is a list of lines, this "ambiguous file" is a digraph of lines. If a file is instead a tree of strings, what does an "ambiguous file" look like? See this paper which was the source of some of the main ideas of Pijul, and in particular, note that its extension to structured data is listed as "future work", which means it probably hasn't been done yet.

My 2 cents on this one :) The Haxe core team is made of great coders, but not so great marketing guys. On day one, a proper game engine with decent documentation should have been a thing, but yet, as of today, it's quite rough to get into Haxe. I've tried to do my share by posting some tutorials, guides & open source projects (like LEd or GameBase), but it's a long road :)
> it still outperforms Linux in some very crucial things (like priority hardware support from manufacturers, optimization of hardware, etc.) by miles. It's hard to imagine even if Linux distros fix their glaring lack of standardization, bring about sane package management systems and manage to create bearable user experiences.

They could create a "Microsoft Linux" distro, that would probably be much less effort than to maintain Windows & Windows Server. If every PC would run on the Linux kernel, hardware vendors would support it.

For Edge I think it's just to be able to data mine more people whatever their platform of choice is.

the magic in rails is not really magic once you get used to the fact that all those magic incantations are just method calls inside the class. every class in ruby is just a series of method calls. you can write a class that, when it's read from the file and interpreted will just print something...

class Foo

puts "bar"

end

will just print `bar` when it's parsed.

so something like has_many :baz are just the method call `has_many(:baz)` defined by active record. that creates a few functions using meta-programming. the other thing that ruby uses a lot of are blocks which are just anonymous functions. `do |a,b,c| puts a; end` just a function passed to the method that can be invoked by the function. I think those things are the ones that trip people up the most with when learning.

Vim can do all of the above pretty easily. In fact, I have a mapping for json pretty-printing, filtering it with jq; mapping for autoformatting with black or other formatter depending on file type; a plug-in for undo history tree. I don't have configuration for running tests the way you do, but I know a guy who does something very similar in vim.

I don't think the things you describe are the differentiators for the Great Editors. For me it's more their phylosophies that make them stand apart: despite the wide usage, vimscript is far more clunky, narrow-scoped and less powerful than elisp. Which means that stitching together something complex is hard and awkward in vim. Emacs is far more suited for complex processing due it's nature of a lisp machine. The chords are awkward though. So, "emacs is a good OS, but it lacks a good text editor".
George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, David Frum, and Gina Haspel have all had far more negative impact and are responsible for much more in the way of war crimes than Bannon.
