A better comparison may be banking, where a bank which acts as a market operator is not allowed to also participate in the market.

Banks don't offer the same services and prices, and they cann innovate by creating new financial products, which seems to address your fear of losing the innovation in a regulated market.

When a bank wants to participate in a market it operates, it is forced to create a subsidiary, which is not allowed to have a better deal, or insider information.

These rules have been pivotal in the development of market operations, because they offered investors confidence that they had recourse against rigged markets.

In effect, that would mean that Apple and others. would be able to compete with app creators, but 1) Market owner's apps would have to pay the 30%, and 2) market owner would have to provide equivalent ToS enforcement for all services.
Replace Google with Apple in the headline and this would be 10x as many points and comments in less than half as much time.
> they care about the same thing you care: your software quality, grandiosity, perfection.

Nope, I don't care about this at all.

I don't like writing software in of itself. I like trying to find eutectic points of different molecules in software because it cheaper than doing it in a lab, I like being able to explore whats running on my router because I'd like to know what security holes could lie there. I like c and c++ because its way faster at run time and uses less way resources when trying to find low dimensional space projections of energy matrices than doing it in python. The code itself? I don't care about it at all to the extent that I can get what I want from it.

Not everyone who writes open source software cares about the same thing, but its good that the author found something they like to do as with I.

Hi. I'm Craig. I'm an experienced Senior Software Engineer, Systems Architect and Microsoft Certified Professional with a passion for software development.

I work primarily, but not exclusively, with Microsoft technologies and the .NET / .NET Core frameworks, leading complex and challenging enterprise software development projects to successfully deliver robust, secure, scalable and efficient software solutions, encompassing over 20 years of experience in the field.

I'm passionate about distributed systems design, CQRS and event sourcing and a proponent of domain-driven design to ensure that solutions are laser-focused on solving real business problems. I'm an open source enthusiast and advocate using the best and most appropriate tools available, providing for an effective and pragmatic solution that delivers genuine and quantifiable business value.

Throughout my career I've helped numerous businesses of varying sizes in varying industries get their technology investment right and I can do the same for you.

Recent projects include:

+ Successfully delivered large section of an ambitious project to re-engineer a number of monolithic applications to cloud-native, event-driven distributed services for a leading hospitality software provider as part of a company-wide effort to modernise entire software estate including training and mentoring staff on event-driven architecture and distributed system design.

+ Successfully designed & delivered large, global SaaS product to manage and automate music royalty collection and payment for one of the UK's largest and most demanding independent music publishers including full cloud geo-distribution & redundancy to ensure high availability & reliability for the worldwide client base.

+ Successfully lead project to develop industry leading anti-motor fraud web application and API with advanced OLAP & OLTP system and data warehouse including one of Europe's largest anti-fraud databases for a Top 40 UK law firm.

+ Successfully lead project to deliver a market-leading, best-of-breed corporate travel management web & desktop-based product suite for a company who, largely as a result of the technology, were later acquired in a multi-million pound deal.
All my micro waves have been nob controlled except one but that one broke down after a few weeks so that one does't count. The rest was two analog and three digital nobs. All the digital nobs broke down after 1-2 years but the analog nobs still work after 20+ years. And you can still buy new ananlog nob microwave ovens in the store but they aren't as good any more.

Fair enough: I would put it the other way around, the hacker as child, where hacking is undirected exploratory activity, as opposed to the goal-directed purposeful activity that is working.
Provided that the application inside the AppImage is built in a portable way, for which AppImage provided zero support whatsoever, last time I checked.

FlatPak has Runtimes/SDKs for this, Snap has the one true Canonical-controlled base snap.
It means we don't know how to quantize GR. Unlike the standard model of particle physics, it's a classical theory, i.e. a set of equations which tell you deterministically, without any of the inherent uncertainty of QM, how a given initial configuration will evolve.

This becomes a problem when you try to include GR in even simple experimental setups which expose QM's non-classical behavior, like the Stern-Gerlach experiment [1]. What does gravity do before the path chosen by the particle (which is gravitationally attractive) is measured?

And yet, the platforms and the services they provide just keep getting better and better, and Apple is still charging the same 30% cut that they started with back in 2008. "Slowly squeezing the profits out of everything they can" just reads like anger fantasy.

Reading this thread and realizing how difficult it seems to have become to buy such a "dumb" TV, I am extremely happy that I bought a cheap Samsung TV in 2016 which doesn't have any features except cheap build-in speakers, a classic TV tuner (which I don't use) and 2 HDMI inputs. It's connected to a Raspberry Pi running Kodi.
Are there any statistics about how many users have not restricted their Google account sufficiently or like did not restrict it further than using the defaults?

Our digital knob micro was like that. This gets a problem when the digital knob suddenly malfunctions and starts the microwave in the night, set on 5 minutes and nothing inside it. Could start a nice fire if unlucky. It only happened during daytime when we noticed it luckily.
Why does apple have to deliver its service to a 3rd party at cost price? It can charge what it likes. If they charged 60% and all app developers moved over to google the market would soon follow or Apple would change.

The cost of the service for Apple is irrelevant in this court case.
When employed by big companies to do so, because their main business is selling something else unrelated to the software itself.

Doing open source where software is actually the real product usually ends up in hobby project level as donations, consulting or books aren't enough to keep the ball rolling.
I don't see what else you want. In 2014 it was revealed that Facebook did run experiments to see how much of an impact they can have on people's sentiments. Just check the study, it's public: https://www.pnas.org/content/111/24/8788.full.

The researchers found out that Facebook's news does influence sentiments in a contagious manner. Which implies it does result in behaviors change on the platform, otherwise they don't have a way to measure the effect in the first place...

It's not like they hide it, that's exactly why advertisers and political parties partner with Facebook in the first place.
Sure, but that's something to be worked out in the pending trial. In the meantime what Epic wants isn't really important to anyone.
Microsoft is so aggressive pushing edge. Not just at consumers but at work as well. Personally I don't see the benefit since it's become a Chrome clone, why not use the real Chrome if you want it. Though I'm a Firefox person.

But for me personally MS has proven not being able to handle a browser monopoly with IE which became stale when they reached that goal. I don't want to support them getting there again.
That is an interesting perspective. I would be that your product has well defined interfaces that would make integration with a commercial product easy. Plus I guess you could always dual license.
Continuously feeding someone false information can change their perception of what’s right in the first place. That’s the whole point of impression ads. That’s why companies will pay so much to imprint an image on viewers.

If you are looking for a camera, going to a review site will give you a fair chance to find the product that fits your needs (most likely a lens module for your phone). Looking at Canon ads is not that.
I understand I'm an outlier, by far.

I had a watch since I was a kid. Then I started having a clock on the computer at university, plenty of clocks at home and everywhere I went. I started to put my clock in my pocket and left it at home forever after a few years. I took it with me only when I went hiking. Knowing time is important for safety.

I've been feeling uncomfortable wearing anything around my wrist since I got used to have it free.
I sometimes wonder how much of a pain it really is? I've seen a few impolite complaints here and there on GitHub, but not as much as posts like this (or some comments here) imply. Am I missing something? Is it one of those loud minority things or do you fell that OSS disrespect is prevalent?

The issue for me is mostly that I refuse to pay for the bucketloads of despicably low quality content they put out. A shame, because there’s Arte (TV) and FIP (radio) which have quality stuff, but they only get a fraction of it.
Because it uses the Chrome rendering engine alongside Windows specific features.

It is much more than just a Chrome clone.
(Edit: this comes across a bit aggressive, not meant so).

What benefits does copper bring over other langs?

Also loose is a bad move. Loose semantics proved a mistake (PL1), loose syntax brings nothing to the party. Semicolons were used in pascal because wirth understood parsing, and they are there to help the parser resync after a syntax error is detected.

From experience if you make semicolons optional as in sql, it helps not at all, AND they are (said by microsoft to) become mandatory in future releases of TSQL, AND I and at least some other users of SQL want them mandatory.

I also don't understand why a non-typical syntax is used. Not at all saying it's wrong but it seems to differ from other syntactic conventions only to be different rather than better (I may be wrong!). Why "gte(a: 100)"? Syntax matters to a degree, why diverge?
But it's still nice to get some recognition. And it would be a better play for DO. If they sent out 100000 t-shirts to those people who made the most accepted PRs over the last year, they'd hit a lot more longterm contributors and also get a better bang for their marketing buck.
Good change! With a more limited base of oss projects that opt-in, at least it can give them publicity in exchange for accepting the possible burden of bad new / single-shot contributors

You could have just used the same Hugo version as initially.

It's a moving project and yeah, there have been a lot of changes, with some breaking ones (usually for good reason).
I couldn't tell by your question if you were referring to the Pi cluster or asking an unrelated question about 802.11s mesh clusters... :)

Here are my answers for both:

Pi cluster: meshing won't save any additional wires here since there is already a wireless bridge set up (between the black Mikrotik device pictured, and an off-camera Mikrotik wireless router.) I chose to wire the cluster simply to guarantee a reliable connection within the cluster. You can absolutely use a Raspberry Pi over WiFi without an Ethernet cable, it would just be a less reliable connection (jitter, congestion), and then of course it would have to be powered conventionally rather than via PoE.

General 802.11s meshing: If all you want is fewer network cabling in your home specifically between switches and access points, then it could certainly help. However, the best choice network-wise is almost always a proper deployment with a central router and several APs (broadcasting the same SSID) wired back to it.
Don't build it from scratch, leverage Shopify or another major vendor who has done a lot of security work on it. You are just asking for a lot of pain if you try and do all that yourself.
>This is exactly privilege speaking.

I'm not disagreeing with you here, but how is that even relevant in this discussion? This was about the path students from a high-level school took.
No, but people new to programming might enjoy a month of supported learning and get a gentle introduction to open source along the way.

Let's not generalise in either direction. There are plenty of people who try to make meaningful contributions as part of Hacktoberfest.

Your comment would make sense if Hood was the only brand name milk they sold in that store.

While that may or may not be the case in this particular anecdote, it's certainly not the norm.
Not mentioned here, and rarely mentioned anywhere is marko.js as a good alternative. Its not static site generation, but it's faster than most static site generated even though it processes templates on the server. The markup does not even need to learn: its pure JavaScript in the markup, it makes it so intuitive to create templates.
Gatsby's one saving grace feature is the createPages API - it lets you programatically create pages at a specific URL with a specific template (React component), with context passed to the template that's not present in the URL. The benefit of this is you're able to render multiple difficult templates at the same URL pattern.

Gatsby does, however, suffer from huge scale problems, I think mostly due to the data type inference it needs for GraphQL. Once you start ramping up the number of models and records, it will churn forever ingesting them. There are hacks and ways to particially mitigate some of this, but still Gatsby continues to have problems once you're working with a medium amount of content.
I don't really care that it's Edge they're using. But I do really object to applications that open links internally rather than in my browser. Where my cookies and bookmarks and passwords are. And I'm already logged in to the sites I use most.
There is still a tax on computers (or rather storage) in Sweden. We pay an extra fee for private copying set on the number of megabytes you can store on harddrives, CD's, DVD's or flash drives. But at least that means it's legal for you to copy your friends DVD's and music collection, no matter what the license says in the box.

You may have misread the numbers slightly; population of ~117 million in 1980 and a population of ~ 125 million today.

And the chart in that article shows that they basically stopped having children in 1980 which would be consistent with a "running out of resources" hypothesis as a root cause. If they hit a wall in economic carrying capacity circa 1980 that chart would supporting evidence.

1. If they aren't compatible at all something is really off, i.e. what happens to electrons in a gravitation field?

2. We can combine (quantize) gravity, but the problem is that using the tools we have today (Quantum Field Theory) the theory doesn't give meaningful answers. There is a process called renormalization that we use to squeeze an answer out of the theory, but that process don't work for all theories and not gravity.

If my content requires two extra line breaks that do not serve any purpose beyond dealing with the vagarities of the generator (where there is absolutely no reason it should work that way), that does not bode well for my further experiences.
I have a hypersensitive sense of taste and smell. I can't handle being around almost all synthetic fragrances. In February, my GF took an air trip to Vancouver BC from Portland. When she returned we both fell ill for 5-8 days. I lost my sense of smell, which was very noticeable to me because usually I smell dryer sheets, detergent and her shampoo. About a month after that I was hospitalized, and subsequently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
It depend on the actual patch, and bug report.

I sometimes receive patches where the contributor just tried to shoehorn the feature they wanted in the codebase; they didn't understand the project architecture, just found a way to get it working.

And I may receive a bug report where the user bisected the history to find which commit introduced the bug, and provide me with all inputs to confirm the issue and reproduce it myself.

Even if the latter contribution doesn't fix the bug, it will end up being merged: they found an issue, dug to find it; but they don't how to fix it while keeping in line with the library's internals.

In other words: the more a contributor tries to understand your goals and design as a project maintainer, and respects them, the more valuable their contribution — be it bug reports, documentation improvements, blog posts, or patches.
It's not about "being good bois", it's about whether Epic is facing irreparable harm. Epic alleges anticompetitive behavior on Apple's part. Sure, fine, there will eventually be a trial. Epic will probably lose because their arguments are ridiculous, but juries have been convinced by stupider arguments, so who knows how it will play out? In the meantime, Epic has deliberately violated a contractual agreement and has been treated exactly in accordance with that contractual agreement. Epic would like a court injunction to force Apple to pretend like Epic has already won the case in the meantime, alleging that Fortnite and Unreal Engine being banned from iOS is causing irreparable harm to Epic in the meantime.

Apple's point, that the judge seems to agree with is "How can we be causing you harm when you did this to yourself?"
>Edit: I just saw all of the comments on the article itself noting this. Glad I'm not the only one.

Did you also note the author's take on that?

>If the journal were published by nature.com but just called Communications, I’d agree with you. But they put Nature right in the name. In the GM example, it would be as if Chevys were named Cadillac Chevys. If GM made Cadillacs and Cadillac Chevys, and I bought a Cadillac Chevy which had a rattling engine and wasn’t powerful enough to climb a hill, then, yeah, I’d be ok saying, “My new Cadillac couldn’t climb the hill.” And then if someone said, “Don’t call it a Cadillac; call it a Cadillac Chevy, man,” I’d reply: “GM made the decision to give that car the Cadillac name, not me.”

>Similarly, nature.com made the decision to give this journal the Nature name. If they wanted to avoid confusion, they easily could’ve done so. But my guess is that a big reason they chose this name was to play both sides of the street: the journal gets the Nature name so that authors are motivated to publish there, as the word Nature looks good on the C.V. etc., but then they have plausible deniability when they publish something bad, as it’s not “really” Nature. I don’t want to give them this deniability.

>In short, I’m calling it Nature because it’s the name of the journal, not because it’s the name of the publisher.

>Just by analogy: the American Statistical Association (ASA) publishes many journals. The flagship is the Journal of the American Statistical Association (JASA). Then they publish other journals. The other journals have different names. The American Statistician is not called JASA Teaching. Statistics and Public Policy is not called JASA Policy. Etc. That’s fair enough. When I publish in those lesser journals, my papers don’t get that JASA sheen. And JASA doesn’t get tarnished by bad papers published in those lesser journals.
This is good advice. Seek treatment for your anxiety (preferably not only pharmaceutical) and join a group. Not being alone in this helps a lot, and from what you wrote it also is the only way to do more than you are already doing.
