> But as you said it is not Open Source, why btw?

The Unity and Unreal models aren't open source, so if you want open source as a feature, as well as revenue, you can't quite copy their models.

To get open source together with revenue, you'd need to use one of the open source business model approaches.

One of those models is "open core" where the core product is open source, and there are additional features for pay which aren't.

Another model is to use GPL or a similar copyleft license for free, and require a license fee for a more open license. Qt is a well known product that uses this (qt.io), and they also offer a revenue-based discount so that smaller businesses can pay less.

Anyone who enjoys debating Linux vs. Windows should consider sitting down and writing a simple TCP echo server for both platforms in C without any high-level libraries that depends solely on the canonical system-provided interfaces (i.e. just glibc or win32 [as in kernel32+winsock not one of the twelve different crts that ms shipped in msvc over the years]). Then you get a pretty good idea of what continues to make Bell System V so attractive to developers decades after its commercial failure and despite its everlasting warts on the desktop.

You're engaging in solipsism here; the point isn't whether or not you think pre-marital chastity is acceptable or not (I bet there's a question in this goofball RWA book asserting that it's not OK) -the point is the nazis were nudists[0] and homophiles, making absolute nonsense of those questions as any kind of meaningful measurement of "RWA." Again, as I said in the first place; this seems to be a simple list of late 20th century center left bigotries about what American religious people are like rather than anything to do with "authoritarianism."

Despite people who tell me about the TEETH CHATTERING ATROCITIES of the nazi pork butchers ... saying things on twitter ... every sign of authoritarianism I see; from corporate fascism, to the idiots burning the cities down and toppling statues: every last one of them would have scored more like you on that scale as very open minded and accepting people, and less like some random Pentacostal who thinks foamy buttsex is kind of gross, but who doesn't bother anyone and who this scale would denounce as "authoritarian." If words like "authoritarian" are to retain their ordinary meanings, your scale goes into the dumpster, and you must refrain from ever referring to it again. It is a simple measure of WEIRD[1] psychological tendencies. Not "authoritarianism."

I don't know if they have changed their tipping practice but last time there was a backlash they just deducted the tip from your order. E.g. you earn $10 from the order and get a tip of $15. They deduct $10 from your $10 order so you're basically getting paid nothing except the tip so you get $15 in total.

Here is the thing. If the tip is lower than the order e.g. someone tips $7 on a $10 then you still only receive $10. Now that they have capped the maximum tip to $10 they have eliminated the only way to make money off of DoorDash tips. When you're tipping on DoorDash you're tipping DoorDash, not the worker.

Maybe they changed the tipping system and what I'm talking about doesn't make any sense but I'm not optimistic when it comes to DoorDash.
I was burnt out from working too much. I had a months vaca saved. But felt I needed 2 months. Asked for a month leave of absence (no pay). Denied, I was too valuable to have gone for that long. Fuck this shit I'm out! Turns out I really needed more like 3 months to get my head back in the game.
> All of which require time and dedication to the craft to get good at.

I don't mean to be cynical about it, but I think you're looking at this through rose-tinted nostalgia glasses. There are plenty of examples of famous entertainment personalities both present and historical that don't exactly espouse "dedication to the craft".

Not to the throw anyone under the bus in particular, but the entire "pop punk" wave of the early 2000s wasn't really about exceptional music talent as much as it was about selling an image. I think we can all also name an actor/actress or two (or five) whose primary qualifications seem to be family connections or, well, being exceptionally attractive.

And that's not anything new, obviously. I mean hell, they made a whole movie about it back in the day: "Singing in the Rain". Ghostwriters for songs have been a thing since, I dunno, at least the 60s (and probably much longer, I'm just thinking of Carole King in particular and how she got her start).

> Being a internet celebrity (in the sense of being Instagram famous), while something that needs to be worked on to get there, does not in most cases involve as much work and creativity.

I think you're vastly underselling how much work it is to be an internet celebrity. Twitch streamers often talk about the fact that even a three day vacation sets them back considerably in terms of viewership. Differentiating yourself in a sea of sameness is creativity. Public sentiment is extremely fickle and difficult to tame.

Ultimately internet celebrities are just entertainment personalities. If you want to dismiss entertainment personalities in general that's fine, but the idea of an entertainment personality certainly isn't anything new.
I'd expect nothing less on HA than to shift the "essential talent" locus to the wonks. It is patently absurd.

The mechanism by which modern racists work is to find categories that are not strictly racial but which have a very strong racial correlation and then apply restrictions and barriers on this correlated category while claiming to not be acting with racial bias. What is changing is that people are starting to see right through these and courts are also starting to exhibit basic statistical literacy with regards to these tactics.
All this effort for a highly specialized solution that only fixes one combination in a huge M:N matrix. Wouldn't it be better to start working on an "LLVM for language interoperability"? That way every language only needs to provide a connection to an intermediate specification, and it can connect to any language supporting that same specification.

Currently this is done through C APIs (and it works well enough TBH), but plain C APIs lack annotations for higher-level concepts (like lifetime, bounds checking, etc). Why not work on a modern language interoperability standard instead? Being able to mix many different smaller and specialized languages in a single project instead of trying to create the "one universal language to rule them all" also would speed up language evolution, because less effort is wasted copying features from one "universal language" into other "universal languages", and as a bonus, operating system APIs following that standard would become language-agnostic.
I think for a lot of us, the addition of view builders and function builders that ignored the process of adding features to the language just so the SwiftUI team could use less punctutation was a jumping the shark moment for Swift. On top of that SwiftUI has been a disaster compared to Apple's existing UI toolkits because it's less featured than UIKit, less reliable and unlike UIKit, there's no new hardware forcing its adoption.

None of this is new per se; weird Apple specific edges like @UIApplicationMain and @NSManaged have always polluted the language. But, it's hard to buy in on "Swift world domination" when server-side Swift is stillborn, Rust is more appealing as a better bare metal language, Catalyst and SwiftUI are weaker than AppKit and UIKit, the last time Swift got a useful language feature was guard let in Swift 2.
Stopped reading after the first paragraph when author trivially states that finding filenames ending in .txt (and getting words within them) "calls for regular expressions".

There are no coronavirus vaccines; prior to the year 2002 that’s because coronaviruses were relatively harmless in humans and thus not deemed a threat. Post 2002 it is because we didn’t heed the warning of SARS and invest seriously in creating one (and it’s hard to develop a vaccine for a disease that isn’t around anymore).

For the “common cold” vaccine, you’re looking at hundreds of strains across about nine types of virus, so a pretty tall order using traditional approaches.
Algorand Consensus Protocol
> I’ve got a feeling that swift is becoming a very polluted mashup of features that come from parties with conflicting interests.

There some truth to that I guess, but I'd also add that a lot of these modern multiparadigm languages feel like they're converging feature-wise (with a few outliers). I feel like Swift still has a unique enough feel to it and I enjoy working with it a lot. I think Chris Lattner has also expressed some concern about the focus on features over everything else.

"Evolution" has a bit of a problem with carnivores. It's easier to protect against carnivores than to build a cost-effective carnivore. You need to pay 2 cards to have species that can eat another species (one for Carnivore trait, one more for +1 size), but only 1 card to negate it with size increase. In my experience buidling a carnivore involves walking a thin line. It's quite easy for other players to counter you and your animal will go completely extinct. In natural world animals can still prey on eggs, juvenile or sick individuals. Evolution is a bit binary.
For the full experience, buy an old computer like a DEC Multia or SGI Indy just to browse this.
While I don't think adding C++ interoperability is one of the'mashup of features', one example of a feature that adds complexity and conflicts is the function builders (result builders)[0].

It doesn't interact well with other language features (e.x. if let wasn't supported for a long time), it isn't really extensible (transforms are specified by the language), and yet it adds a bunch of complexity in both the language, implementation and reading code.

It seems clear, at least to me, that this is something that happens if you try to make a feature 'generic' without a lot of time and design consideration, due to Apple's internal politics on SwiftUI. I like SwiftUI, and some features that support it are great (like custom attributes), but I firmly think that they should have taked the time to produce a better design.

Tensorflow 1.15 for python3.. good luck finding that anymore for a Linux repo.

Tensorflow needs to stop breaking their entire codebase every 10 or so minor versions and also make their archived versions for all OS readily available. Do a pip3 install tensorflow==1.15 just for an illustration of what I am talking about.

There are hundreds if not thousands of extensive code TF projects on GitHub that are now almost completely useless because the libraries they require are not readily available. Sure you can use them as a template to translate into TF 2 but as a keeper of an important open source library, tensorflow team has been far less than diligent at making sure projects containing their code do not break as tensorflow pushes out updates.

Early 2000 isn’t early web. By that point it had already been around for a decade, had been heavily commercialised and a lot of the fun independent portals were already starting to disappear. By early 2000 Yahoo! was already losing favour to Google and the MS buyout of Hotmail was already a distant memory. VRML2 had been and gone, XHTML was deprecated and FutureWave / Macromedia Flash was just about to move to it’s 3rd company, Adobe. By early 2000s the browsers wars had already been lost too Microsoft and the era of Internet Explorer.

There’s so much history that had already been and gone by 2000 that it’s a real stretch to argue the middle third of the web as it’s early period.

How strange then that these people who lack IDs can somehow make it through life for years and years without significant problems. It is almost like your 'everything needs an ID' argument is complete bullshit because the very existence of these voters shows it to be false.

A voter ID may streamline the process, but it is not necessary to maximize valid voter participation because it has been conclusively shown that it inhibits valid voter participation while at the same time invalid voter participation is not a problem that exists and therefore is not something that needs to be solved.

The nicest thing I have to say about people making voter ID claims is that while they are clearly using a dog whistle at least they don't say the quiet part out loud, or at least not until quite recently.
Google Adds Data Breach Alerts to Chrome for Android and iOS
Transistors have been in racing cars since 1967 when the Cosworth DFV engine, with a "transistorized ignition" system, was put to the back of the Lotus 49, driven by Jim Clark and Graham Hill.

Going all mechanical would be going back to an era long gone. It would be difficult to attract funding for a formula racing series (not a spec series) based on obsolete technology.

That said, the early 1960s era of 1.5 liter V8 engines produced some of the most eloquent racing machines ever.

> If I ever hear of someone admitting to being diagnosed with this personality disorder I would do everything in my power to disassociate myself from them -- which I believe to be a rational decision when self-preservation is the goal.

This seems pretty harsh. You're making a pariah of someone, based on something you heard, because you assume they wish to do you harm without ever meeting the person.

Replace "sociopath" with "homosexual", "non-Christian" (since, really, who chooses their religion?), or "Black". Keep in mind that sociopathy is not a choice. It's possible they're made, more likely they're born that way, but either way not a path a person sets themselves on.

While knowing such diagnosis for an individual may be instructive in forming relationships with them, just assuming they intend you harm without getting to know the individual is a knee-jeek reaction at best. The author's own experience, should you choose to accept it, shows that relationships are not only possible but can be healthy, beneficial, and even self-enlightening to all parties.
One of the main gripes I have with C++ is exactly what you said, that the defaults usually are the wrong for the usual cases and for general sanity.

Swift is a crescendo of special cases stopping just short of the general; the result is complexity in the semantics, complexity in the behaviour (i.e. bugs), and complexity in use (i.e. workarounds).

That was 2015, when Swift was far simpler than today.

Heck, they added almost all of Smalltalk syntax recently to address one special case of a special case.

https://blog.metaobject.com/2020/06/the-curious-case-of-swif...

And the method syntax that this is a special case of a special case of is many pages of spec.

And of course there's initialization, which was 14 pages of the Swift spec at the time, with crazy overlaps and gotchas. Unsurprisingly and predictably (as in: I predicted it), it wasn't enough, or rather far too specific, so for SwiftUI they had to create an entirely new way of creating/initializing: function builders.
