It does not matter if nightlies are more stable than they used to be. It does not matter if nightlies never crash.

If you work in an industry or corporation that is highly security conscious, i.e. that prizes risk mitigation over using the cutting edge or getting to market first above all else, then you won't be able to use nightlies.

Security policy will dictate that you use use a stable versioned release, that the release be vetted through scripts/STIGs, and that the release be installed by Security+ certified and blessed admins.

I just successfully pitched we go with Centos 8 at work. Tomorrow I have to go in and explain why we need to choose Centos 7, or Ubuntu. In my industry this kills Centos, it's as dead as Mr. Praline's Norwegian Blue [1]. I suspect that was IBM's intent all along, though it's only suspicion.

Yeah fair point. At Google a lot of these non-deterministic rules are either banned through "date" just not existing on remote execution machines, or through determinism tests that ensure rules behave. Maybe in real-life scenarios it's not as easy as I claim, as you suggest.
Cool, let me give it a go with my co-founder and we'll discuss.

Love the integrations stuff, but so far we've not been putting tasks into github because we figured we'd just be moving them, but this is great for onboarding.

As far as point #1, I get what you're saying, and love that you have that vision. I think it fits the way I like to work (potentially), but is opposed to how my co-founder likes to work. But let's give him a go and see.

I'll be in touch. Best of luck.

> These are challenges of other states' laws

> the votes that are validly cast under the procedure are still to be counted.

The argument, as I interpret it, is that these votes were not validly cast, because they were not cast under the procedure established by the respective legislatures. That is, that the laws of the respective states were not followed; from the complaint:

> Those changes are inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non-legislative entities, without any consent by the state legislatures.

Now, I don't know if that's true, since I don't know the laws of the various states involved, and in my skimming of the complaint, I didn't see where the complaint actually listed how the elections of the various states differed from their established law.

That said… on the whole I agree with you, particularly on standing.
We import mostly from Brazil and India so can't say much about China.

Supply side issues are mostly logistical in nature:

- low low low supply of containers

- getting container bookings is 3-4-5 weeks out.

- factory workers testing COVID positive = random shutdowns, therefore random delays
The development budget for the Max was in all certainty bigger than the development budget of the flagships from any of those companies, if not bigger than the companies themselves.

Users also want free support. The more knobs you add the more complex your support becomes (both front line and automated tests) and your support costs skyrocket (now 1% of your users are turning on knobs you haven’t tested and those are 30% of your support costs). There’s a balance to be struck for sure and OSS can some times try to ignore the support cost because it’s just “spare time”. There’s still a cost though.

There’s also something to be said for sensible abstractions. Even if the power users don’t have the control they want, the solution works for 90% of all other users. For an example of this look to Apple. They regularly sacrifice the power users for the security and convenience of the general customer. From a profit, support and just pure “% of satisfied users” that’s the right balance. Don’t get me wrong. They don’t get it right for every single little thing, but in aggregate when there’s a conflict and your market is the “general” user, trying to stay appealing to the power users is still likely the wrong choice.
Sure, if they don’t mind Qt automatically being relicensing under BSD

“The little known KDE Free Qt Foundation makes sure that Qt stays free and open-source. It guarantees that all Qt modules currently licensed under LGPLv3 must continue to be available under LGPLv3 in the future. This covers all modules from Qt Essentials and many add-on modules. If The Qt Company discontinued the FOSS version of Qt, the Foundation would have the right to make Qt available under the BSD license. This is a very powerful protection of free and open-source Qt.“

I’ll be honest, I don’t use tiktok. Do you know if that’s actually the case? Is US made tictok content available in China?
So then what is the solution? If their life is not more important than everybody else’s then why do they get extra protection? Why can’t we extend the same protection to all? Why do we have special cases? Why can’t an individual, and a judge, be entitled to the same protection?
I still have nightmares from learning XSLT.

It's very cool, but also, very strange, if you come from a procedural language background.

Also, XSLT is really given power by being mixed with XPath (which is procedural).

I suspect that if I had known more about FP back when I learned it, I would have had an easier time. I wrote up a really long, painful post about XSLT, way back in the early 'oughts.
What I find more fascinating since the beginning of this year is the rise "meme investing" a la r/wallstreetbets. Huge speculative option plays among a huge swath of retailers on meme stocks. Self-proclaimed value investors like to call them "Robinhooders".
You're arguing semantics. The web development community (and the engineering industry as a whole) uses the term "accessibility" to refer to making things usable by people with disabilities (and has done so for decades).

Pretending that people understand the term to mean a different thing, and then screeching at them for not doing that how you want them to is intellectually dishonest and just makes you look like an asshole.
If they had actually used a sane approach, I bet their accessibility score would be even higher, and even fewer people would be complaining.

Honesty is the key word.

There's nothing wrong with an open source being controlled by a company or even existing only to privilege a specific company, but it's important not to mislead open source developers into thinking that a project has different objectives than what it has.
I work for a large Unnamed Parcel Service and all of our future applications are going to Azure Kubernetes Service, which is the Microsoft-managed k8s offering. There are still a ton of legacy applications running on all sorts of platforms, from mainframe to just about any technology you can name from the past 40 years, but everything going forward is being written for .Net Core running on Linux containers in AKS. So you don't have to switch everything immediately, you can get around to it eventually but at least you can start to build up a pool of talent and skill set towards that goal.

That is where you use optional chaining + extension method. And that is basically identical to Optional.map or whatever method in those language with Optional type

in kotlin

func add3 (val: Int?) = val ?.let { it + 3 }

The language gives you a way to say: `this value plus 3 if it exist or just return null`

Unfortunately, there is no such method in js currently, so it looks half baked.
I dual license my software using GPLv3 and don't feel like I fall in any of your categories.

If a user wants to integrate my software into their commercial software, then they in turn pay me for their commercial use of my software.

If a user wants to integrate my software into their software to distribute it freely, then they don't pay me.

The only time a problem exists is when someone wants to integrate my software into their software for commercial purposes and doesn't want to pay me for it.

Everyone knows they are being targeted. They would have no reason to even put a press release together if they weren't breached. The first three paragraphs are basically "we are under attack" then "it's an advance attack" then "we're investigating the attack." No one implies that how successful the attack was until the first sentence. This doesn't seem like they are minimizing or attempting to cover up the damage.
Great idea if you want to make every request for a web page result in an additional request to the JavaScript renderer, and then embed markup hacks within both the JSON and the renderer to style anything. Slower and harder to maintain! You're welcome!
You can of course try to ride the next Tesla, but please realize that even Yahoo had a market cap of $120 billion 20 years ago at the peak of the dotcom bubble, and was sold for pocket change four years ago. So do exit at the top :)
I totally disagree. I’ve only read one book about the topic of the dark triad, sympathy, and empathy, called Social Intelligence. Basically I’ll simplify the definitions for brevity’s sake. Sympathy is that you feel bad for someone. Empathy is actually putting yourself in their shoes and feeling what they feel and adapting to their needs and understanding them as they are. So, maybe you have the terms backwards, or maybe I do? Have you ever heard the phrase, I don’t need your sympathy? What about, I don’t need your empathy? Empathy may be a less common term than sympathy but it is clearly the superior one in my book.

Pareto is an observation of the distribution, not some special insight into “why” the result is Pareto. Just saying this phenomenon appears everywhere - the underlying causes may be the same or they may be different but the distribution remains the same.
Granted IANAL, can someone explain how the AGPL prevents aaS providing of _unmodified_ AGPL-licensed software?

Reading the license text[0], the prominent section related to remote network interaction very clearly notes "if you modify the Program", and the terms and conditions lay out that "Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying".

When people discuss not being able to offer AGPL-licensed programs as a service, are they exclusively talking about modifications?

Another point is the requirement to only provide source to your users, who might be bound by something else, like an EULA that prohibits them from using the AGPL software you give to them to run a competing service, for example.

I guess until this stuff gets tested in a court of law, everyone is reacting to the threat of litigation more than actual litigation but it feels like the threat to companies is overblown, except if they try to improve the software and not contribute back.

No mention of OpenMandriva as a alternative RPM distro.
My partner has gotten involved in many handmade groups and almost every person says that etsy is no longer a place for small businesses. You have to pay out the nose to get any sort of relevant listing in search results and for many small sellers this eats most or all of their profits.
If by "involve everyone" you mean "ignore the many many companies that said the current GPLv3 is a non-starter and will entirely end our involvement" then sure.

They decided to pick an ideological bone on purpose. That's fine, it's their right. But it was a deliberate decision knowing the consequences.
Which makes complete sense - they have more training and experience and thus are more confident in their own ability to keep cool in a difficult situation and make split-second decisions, rather than what seems like low-level cops being scared to death and reactionary in their encounters. Whatever the reason for this pattern of behaviour, it's a disgusting outcome.
I think it is early to make more conclusions, but I had to adjust my way of thinking to work with WDR. We are so accustomed to thinking data+markup that it is hard to imagine any other way. So, I started to create the JSON data without thinking about the design at all. "What information I would like to see on this page", and I created the JSON thinking only on that. It turns out, creating the render afterward was much easier and faster (and pleasant). It is, at least for me, a new way to think about the page.
Ah I see, the perception of the letters 'GPL' was the problem which LGPL shares--that's too bad, had to choose your battles.
Frigging permits. What an absolute joke. Goto city hall, pay money, wait weeks for a response - all to do something that should take minutes. Why doesn't our government pay someone to create an app to expedite the process. Also stop doing it at the city level and handle it at the state level.
The especially frustrating thing about this is that the vast majority of the risk for serious illness from COVID is concentrated in a few high risk groups, in particular the elderly. Lockdowns and outside help targeted to those groups could probably get much wider buy-in and flatten the curve much more. Instead, while 23 year olds are forbidden from going to bars, there is still a person in his 70s bagging groceries at my local supermarket.

Mailing vitamin D pills to everyone in the country probably would also do more to reduce Covid deaths than the lockdowns (though might not be feasible for logistics/supply chain reasons).

I love XSLT in theory. It had the daring to say that the most frequently programmed thing that we do is just translate data structures of one shape into data structures of a slightly different shape, and it said “That is what I shall focus on, doing just that.” And the way that it produced that, by “just start writing your output document and insert XSLT when you finally need to loop or query the input” seemed quite nice too, a sort of PHP dialect which didn't have to “escape” out of the document type and resort to echoing raw text.

There is a pure functional programming language waiting to be resurrected from the ashes of XSLT, following Haskell's original idea that a program is a pure function from a stream of inputs to a stream of commands. I just hope that someone removes the XML from it, to save on the pain of my pinkies mashing those greater-than and less-than signs. I like the abstract idea that XML is recursively embeddable, and even the radical suggestion that maybe XSLT should be involved in metaprogramming its own syntax trees, but I am not sure that this is worth it. Maybe if we blur the lines between our code editor and a generic UI, someday?

What are you people talking about, “gatekeeping”? Do you personally know Ms. Jones or something? If her job title included “data scientist” then great, let’s call her that.
Fair enough. Apologies for the confrontational tone.
Like in any engineering environment, you submit a PR for feedback from your peers, and you have a discussion about any changes that might need to be made.

Thank you for your apology. My religion is very important to me and it really bothers me when people think I care about experts.

FireEye discloses breach, theft of hacking tools
It's worth noting that servers at restaurants are required by law to make minimum wage. If their actual wages (the minimum the employer can pay them, called the "basic cash wage") plus their tips do not bring them over minimum wage, then their employer is required to make up the difference. So if nobody tips, the business winds up having to pay more.

So you're likely hurting both the worker and employer, and making it more complicated for both of them.

Specifics (basic cash wage value, etc) vary by state.
Here, let me quote from the article I linked:

>Survey research shows that well over two-thirds of low-wage workers have been the victims of wage theft.

"Over two-thirds" means you are more likely than not to eat at a restaurant that has cheated its employees.
Good post. Only thing I would add is you forgot to mention the “just learn to code” crew.
Is anyone getting the sense that there are a lot of weird comments in this thread? Why are there so many comments doubting the idea that FireEye could have been hacked by a nation state actor? It's just really weird that so many people are saying similar things without directly contributing. Not to be paranoid, bit it's the type of behaviour I would expect from a nation state trying to place doubt in the narrative that they were hacking commercial companies...
How about we let the facts come out in a court of law before calling someone you’ve never met a “disgrace”?

They want to have the option to, when they see a market opportunity, slap a logo and one tiny feature on top, and a price tag!

If there was a single, one, any tiny reason to not use GPL, nobody would be using linux.

Not using GPLv3 is sabotaging open source. People who stand with corporations and dislike GPLv3, are the same people that stood with microsoft in the 90s and disliked GPLv2. There's no way to please that people. Let them go. You do not need them.
One overlooked reason his music stands out is because Beethoven's technique is tractable and is still taught as a kind of "divide-and-conquer" technique to composition students. Students can write a coherent piece in essentially any style by building up phrases and sections from small groups of notes that are easy to control. So they enumerate through a few techniques of lining up these little units and listen to the result. Then they go back to listen to Beethoven and Brahms and immediately gain a deeper appreciation of just how completely those composers mastered these techniques to create dramatic musical structures. Rinse and repeat through the generations. This is one of the reasons why Brahms is considered a "composer's composer."

Now, what process is used to teach a composition student to write music that, say, use techniques responsible for what happens in the first minute of the first movement of Schubert's B Minor Symphony, D. 759? It's one of the great beginnings to a symphony, but it isn't really written leveraging the techniques I described above. And while you can analyze it to figure out why it specifically comes off the way it does, there's no easy "divide-and-conquer" technique to abstract out and apply to other settings/styles.

That means there are fewer composers writing toy versions of moments like that to build up a deeper understanding of these other techniques. And there are many other musical techniques like this which do not lend themselves to pedagogy. Mozart is full of stuff like this, where the technique is essentially, "First, learn all the music. Next..." :)
