I think there is a misunderstanding. There isn’t just a single type of errors. Every time you get an error object in Go you ask yourself “should I do something about it or not”. If no then you add some context and return it to the parent, that’s a perfectly valid way to handle it. Otherwise you do your specific piece of logic to recreate your ressources or whatever is needed.

Not all errors require the same treatment and there isn’t a single strategy to manage them.
That is my reaction also. Quality engagement with society that yields a good income. That almost certainly involves work, but very likely in an independent context such that there is no job as such. It also makes sense that instead of the usual mix of products or services individuals will increasingly enter into licensing agreements that best market what they have to offer and provide income over significant periods of time without a lot or even any direct involvement. Factoring companies and jobs out of the equation can potentially make work both more efficient and rewarding.

There are ample sources, and lawsuits, disagreeing with your argument.

"Josh Begley, a graduate student at New York University, developed Drones+ to provide up-to-date information on strikes, using reports collated by the London-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism – an organisation that tracks the use of unmanned CIA aircrafts. But repeated attempts to get Apple to offer the software at its app store have been fruitless. At first, Begley was informed that the program – which he hoped would raise awareness of the growing death toll from drone strikes – was "not useful" enough and did not appeal to a "broad enough audience".

The company position has since shifted, but only in the reasoning behind its refusal to stock Drones+. In the latest rejection email, Apple reportedly informed him: "We found that your app contains content that many audiences would find objectionable, which is not in compliance with the app store review guidelines.""

You could download it and publish it yourself. I have a extension I wrote myself, and while I occasionally see something about having to pay $5 in the extension management panel, it never forces me to do so. If they closed that hole, perhaps it's worth the $5 developer registration fee to some.
Well written article, I learned a lot. I wasn't a huge fan of how little they espoused the actual positive side of the site, what continues to bring me and many of you back. The flaming and dramatic views of some are noise to me, the great insight and lively polite debate is what I see.

(Not OP)

To me the main difference is that in 80s the main way of consuming software was by having it distributed to you, which then can trigger GPL copyleft clauses. These days it is more and more common to consume software as a service, where GPL copyleft is not triggered because the software itself is never distributed.

99% of the barrier is feature size. Producing the feature size starts with photolithography.

If you want to talk about centralizing concerns, look into the number of companies who can produce an EUV light source capable of supplying a photo tool with powerful & precise output 24/7/365.
Here are a few:

- engage in discussions
- speak up against injustices
- vote
- join groups of like-minded people
- exercise your right to demonstrate

Change is hard, and it is slow. That is usually not a bad thing; however, it requires persistence.

I'm currently stuck in Germany. Think about the late 80s when a whole state was brought down peacefully by the people of the German Democratic Republic. It was not a storm on the Reichstag that brought about the fall of the state, nor a military coup. It was a lot of different factors combined but an increasing pressure from the people played a central role in it. And, mind you, this was a regime that had no problem taking extreme measures against its own people, so certainly no easy circumstances to stand up against the authorities.

Doesn't this argument apply just as well to Linux, though? It's hard to see how the open source community could work if everyone started saying "well, my ox is being gored because I'm not capturing enough of the value generated by the project I started".
The pardon did end up having that effect, but given that the pardon was issued in January 2001 and the DUI happened in February 2001, I have some degree of confidence that this was not intentional.

When I have 100 tabs open, 90 of them are one time use pages. I need to compile bits of information from each page, and then I never need those pages again. Why would I use bookmarks?

For example, last week I was shopping for a very specific, very expensive ceramic thrust bearing. I had 20+ pages open from 10+ suppliers and documentation sources. I needed those open all week while we decided on which one to buy. This was a minor background task, so I also had 60 other tabs open for my normal work flow.

Just because people use a tool differently than you doesn't make them wrong.

As an American, I agree with everything you said. (Well, except that Supreme Court justices are appointed, not elected.)

The other gaping flaw is the systemic, undemocratic bias that determines the makeup of our Upper House.
There is strong support for accepting a broader definition of open source, one that accounts for ethical concerns including what other people use your software for (e.g., warfare, ICE) and whether you are compelled to allow competitors to eat your lunch by deploying your software as a service if you want to be true-Scotsman OSS. Over time this support will grow, until the voices who advocate hewing to the narrow 1990s OSI definition will be in the minority.

It's time to move beyond pedantry in open source and address the concerns of real-world software authors.
IMO, Optionals or Either are superior to returning a pair (value, error) because they cannot return both a value and an error, thus removing one possible cause of bugs (likely a fairly small one! As it doesn’t prevent a function from constructing both a result and an error and only returning the error), but I don’t see how optionals force handling errors more than returning a pair (value, error).

Surely, you can just check whether the optional has a value, use it when it is available, and ignore the other case.
Discarding inactive tabs is not what I use The Great Suspender for. I use it to... suspend tabs. Auto Tab Discard doesn't seem to do that.

Workers KV imposes 25MB limit per key. Worker memory limit is 128MB. Concatenating several values from the store or using sqlite's ATTACH DATABASE should make possible querying of about 100MB large databases, would be my guess.

IMHO SOUL is a game changer in audio just like OpenGL/Direct3D/etc. was a game changer in the graphics world.

Think of all of the graphics technologies that were enabled by OpenGL/Direct3D/... and consider the equivalent for sound/music.

The trend is clearly going into the direction of application-specific processors and a lot of hardware already has dedicated DSP chips for audio. It is high time that a standard language is proposed to access them in a unified way just like OpenGL did.

This is correct, and address 0 is the start address of the interrupt vector table, so there are good reasons why you might read from it.
You are correct that I'd phrase this differently were I writing an abstract philosophy treatise or an analytical public health paper. I was writing in a casual discussion forum about what I am currently doing in the middle of a global public health crisis that has killed 2 million people, mostly needlessly. So yes, I'm going to write clearly and frankly.

And my moral condemnation for people is absolutely not cavalier. I actively and vigorously condemn the legion of assholes who think mild personal inconvenience is worse than mass death plus a much greater swathe of serious illness. I also condemn the societal moral failures that have impeded a sensible coordinated response, especially the politicians who, having created and sustained an underclass, now insist for ideological reasons that their suffering should be deepened while at the same time making the pandemic worse for everyone. It's both moral idiocy and moral obscenity. At best, it's obliviousness or IGMFU. But more often, as Serwer wrote, "The cruelty is the point."

I don't think they're as different in energy as you're thinking. "Suborbital" ranges from throwing a baseball 100ft to going almost into orbit, and going halfway around the earth is just shy of a circular orbit.

Civil disobedience isn't about avoiding the consequences of that disobedience; it's about doing the right thing even though it's illegal and requires punishment. If your concept of justice can account for civil disobedience like that, that is.

That is to say, if e.g. Snowden's actions were civil disobedience, it's not incoherent to say both that:

1. He was right to leak the info, and

2. He need not be pardoned in the name of justice.
Source? That is pretty horrifying if true
Just about joins in particular. I get them now, but I struggled joining hospital tables together because they had around a dozen different ID keys that all meant something different - patient, provider, hospital, clinic, room, and these could vary geographically, so many of them were not "unique" and you needed to combine multiple ones. It's not so much the JOIN that was tough, but the universe of tables and keys we had to contend with at the hospital.
Sort-of. 16 licenses it seems, and they're tied to your developer account, so you would have to log in to download the ISO I guess? I'm not entirely sure how it works with the cloud instances though—they say you can run it on AWS, etc., but do you have to tie in some sort of subscription manager from those running instances back to your account?

In any case, if it's more complicated than clicking a button once (e.g. if I'd have to automate any subscription stuff to get it going), I'm just going to drop RHEL-based distros as a target and move on. CentOS was fine because it behaved like all the other distros (no subscriptions, no authentication requirements), and so I provided some level of RHEL support ('as long as it works on CentOS') for my projects.

In some cases it can be used to broadly pardon people due to injustice. Carter blanket pardoned all Draft dodgers [1]. It doesn't have to be a "real solution" as that isn't the duty of the president to create law, which falls squarely in the hands of congress.

It doesn't make things worse. The only reason people think it makes things worse is because it at times serves to emancipate people they think are undeserving of it. This is a small price to pay for what broadly serves as a useful tool for justice.

Who cares what it's written in? While I find lots of XML configs often to be verbose, translating it to JSON would be exactly the same mess. It's often what has to be configured that's the problem, and not how or the syntax of it.

If anything, XML with schema works out of the box in most IDEs with autocomplete, validation etc.,
I would like to, but there are too many people and it gives me lots of anxiety just to even think about going for an interview, let alone working for them. :/ Just tried to say that it is much easier when there is one person I work for and talk to online and working from home, vs. working in groups or meeting lots and lots of people. I have social phobia, and I also fear that I am not good enough and I do not even try because of it, it holds me back. I even fear working in groups of strangers online. I really do not know what to do. So I suppose I have performance anxiety (I do not know if there is such a thing), and I have social phobia.

I also have anxiety about my health when I notice something out of the place, but that is a different sort of issue. I remember when outside there were construction workers and beneath me the floor moved and I almost had a panic attack because of it. At first I did not know it was caused by them, I thought something was happening to me. It got better when I realized it was just them.
It's certainly confusing, it's a small niche. It may just cater to people who already know functional programming. The majority will stuck in JS anyway to get the job done.

Since you did not mention it specifically, I'll mention that term limits are suspected to be an important part of keeping a reasonable concentration of power and not having a democracy devolve into a dictatorship.

On the one hand, term limits are deliberately eroded by long-running despots (primarily in some African countries so far, and increasingly elsewhere in the world lately.) On the other hand, Germany's chansellorship does not, IIRC, have term limits and that seems to work fine for them. So maybe being able to remove term limits is a symptom more than a cause?

Either way, questions like these are discussed in the book How Democracies Die, which has been recommended to me and is on my re-read list, but which I haven't gotten to yet.
With reversible reactions the energy to break it or make it should be equal and opposite.
It seems so oddly funny to have people honestly question why the government didn’t make more efforts to stop something supported by their governments top leader.

It’s kind of like asking why didn’t the Russian police make efforts to stop a KGB assassination.

I mean do we really have to ask why? Isn’t it more relevant just to ask who knew about the attacks and kick them to the curb either for being astronomically incompetent, or either passively or actively assisting the attack?

I’m speaking in genetics rather then specifics. Life as a whole is incredibly amazing what it can survive and grow into. I hope your life turns in the right direction or you find something enlightening to make it slightly better.
But Dijkstra's opinion is not well founded, so it's definitely an appeal to authority. His opinion hinges on words like "ugly" and "preferred" without explaining what he means by this. He makes a choice of one over the other forms based on an unclear value function. His entire argument is this:

"There is a smallest natural number. Exclusion of the lower bound —as in b) and d)— forces for a subsequence starting at the smallest natural number the lower bound as mentioned into the realm of the unnatural numbers. That is ugly, so for the lower bound we prefer the ≤ as in a) and c). Consider now the subsequences starting at the smallest natural number: inclusion of the upper bound would then force the latter to be unnatural by the time the sequence has shrunk to the empty one. That is ugly, so for the upper bound we prefer < as in a) and d). We conclude that convention a) is to be preferred."

I mean... that doesn't exactly settle it. Sure, your opinion might coincide with that, but this is not a logical argument. First you're going to have to explain what unnatural numbers are (because they're not a thing as far as I can tell), and then you'll have to tell me what about them makes them "ugly", and how that makes the other option "preferable".
Well, as the person who also created JUCE and its license, I can't really argue with that. :)

We're very keen to make sure that the end-user developers are totally unencumbered and license-free, because we want lots of people to adopt it.

All our licensing is more aimed at device and driver builders - think of it like e.g. openGL - the industry making GL cards and drivers is legal complex, but none of that stuff affects the coders writing GL apps.
I think that at least one thing that's going on here that while OSS does, all else being equal, create more value for the world, when the world contains monopolistic megacorporations like Amazon, they will be able to disproportionately benefit from any such value.

As I noted in a comment elsewhere on this article, if the corporate landscape now looked more like it did 30 years ago, a good open source project with a permissive license would be likely to enable a wide variety of competitive small-to-medium companies to do cool things. Today, by contrast, even if there are small-to-medium companies who try to pick it up and do a cool thing with it, they're not trying to compete with other companies in the same weight class: they have to compete with Amazon, a 900-pound gorilla who just muscles out or outright eats its competition.

So I don't think a fair takeaway here is, "It feels like permissive open source should be better, but because massive conglomerates like Amazon can make disproportionate use of that to hurt everyone else, restrictive licenses are better on principle."

I think it's much closer to, "It feels like permissive open source should be better, but because massive conglomerates like Amazon can make disproportionate use of that to hurt everyone else, we should find ways to break the disproportionate power of massive conglomerates."

No reason you can't "deepfake" that too. IMO, in the arms race of fakes vs detection technology, the fakes will inevitably win. Eventually, you won't be able to tell if content is fake at all. You'll just have to decide if you can trust the source or not.
