>Elders tell that if you get into IIT you will get 10 crore of package

That's nonsense. I'm from CS at a top IIT, and only a handful of my batchmates have that kind of compensation, and that is after >5 years of experience. Absolutely nobody is going to give you a 10 crore salary fresh out of college.

For students from other not so popular streams, in India, a salary of Rs 10-20 lakh a year is more realistic. Again, this is after 4-5 years of industry experience. Even after IIM, the average salary is around 20-30 lakhs.
You are of course right that GPL is a kind of coercion, too. The question is which coercion is more harmful to the society. It's the same as with any law.
A fair price would be a £45 return ticket London to Manchester if I bought it at 9am tomorrow at the station.

This would bring the UK rail prices more in line with most other European countries.

£300 is gouging.
I disagree with the problem. The problem is cathedral open source doesn’t scale. The problem is the general idea of an open source project being a full time job, especially if you are unwilling to work for free.

If you want money for something, charge for it. It’s really that simple. I’m giving away lemonade at my stand away for free, being mad the donations don’t cover the lemons is just silly.

I’d far rather my open source be a shared resource developed by its actual users. More bazaar, less cathedral. Fewer pigheaded decisions of a bdfl or corporation. Want to make a major left turn? Fork it.

So many recent open source projects are essentially just a business with a bad revenue model instead of a great project with a business backing it. Horse before the cart.
Hi, I don't really use freenode, but even after your explaination, I don't understand what Andrew's big sin is - that he wants to keep IRC like it was when he loved it in his youth? Okay, but what specifically does that mean - what is the down-side? So far all I've read is that freenode is owned by someone, and now he's exerting control that others don't like, but no details of what that control is.

BTW, "Let's..." is not misspelled. "Kerfluffle[sic]" is, but it's a misspelling I prefer, so good on ya!
The reason we ended up with a Tesla, instead of a Kona electric, or any other EV, is the charging network. Where do you charge this thing and how long does it take?

“You can only charge at home” doesn’t work for everyone. Maybe it does for this market though?

I hope that you do understand the difference of server provisioning and container orchestration, as mentioned above, solve completely different problems.
Lots of companies get physical security from:

- the building that rents them an office including a guard in the lobby

- the datacenter that rents them space including guards

- the cloud service taking care of their own datacenters

On the other hand, if you have your own building or rent in an unguarded building, deal with cash, have an actual storefront -- you'll probably be hiring security yourself.
Indeed a great book. Dr. Parbery was my comp. graphics prof. And then when he started the first game programming course, I was in one of the first batches.
Finally a UI-based competitor for cookiecutter or create-react-app. I wonder why nobody did this before. Intuitive UI, and the generated code looks good. I wonder how much coding time this can save.

I appreciate the option for containarization. Are there any plans to further ease deployment to AWS or Kubernetes? I.e. via generation of CloudFormation or Terraform scripts? Most front/back developers lack this kind of devops knowledge.

Yes this is the problem. Using the train is often a non-option. What’s costs £25 fuel will cost £70 for a rail ticket and often take longer if you are not going between major cities. It’s even worse if there are multiple people. I would love to commute on the train (use your time more effectively, lower CO2, less stress) but it’s just too costly as it is.
That explanation only makes sense if you take alisonkisk's use of "worth" to mean "price", which makes it a very different comment.

That all packs with price less than their EV get opened makes sense. At the same time, packs with price more than their EV don't really make sense - it's better to just buy singles in that case.

But to me, the comment meant that packs with worth (total value of their contents) less than their EV i.e. underperforming packs were guaranteed to be opened, so the EV of remaining packs would rise, justifying the price increase.
Problem is that there is massive pent up demand. Cheaper tickets mean more people travelling longer distances to work when there isn't capacity. The last thing we need is even more regular commuting to London from outside greater London.

This demand is caused by high house prices and lack of opportunities outside of the SE. Trains are a sticky plaster that gives lots of subsidy to middle class commuters whilst local bus services are cut. Distance is also environmentally problematic regardless of mode of transport.
Yes, the comment you've replied to is spouting a pretty important mis-truth by trying to make out they aren't profitable for the franchisee.
> In an ideal world, housing and food would be decommodified

That sounds more like prison than an ideal world. Considering the complete mess that industrialized agriculture is at the moment I can only imagine how much worse it would be if it was entirely centralized. Also the idea of not having ownership of my own housing is a strong incentive for me to fight against these ideas when I see them. My home is a very much an extension of my being in that it is customized to suit my needs and desires, I am not willing to accept a one size fits all that isn’t completely within my control.

Microarchitectures are used in -mtune= so there's an opportunity to tweak compilers to suit this design. But no changes are required: Aarch64 support is already present in popular compilers.
Is there somewhere already extant I can read about the shortcomings of the available tools, or would I need to do some networking with people to find that information?

I've considered making tools of my own for some things, but knowing what would actually be useful to people doing real work would be a good motivator.
For us casuals, there should be straight performance metrics + power consumption figures; transistor scale or amounts don't tell that story.
I found it ironic that Virgin lost their contract, considering they operate by far the best service in the UK.
Our reports always have a section on things we looked at or for. Doing so takes a majority of the time it takes to write the report. Since it adds to the cost, firms that don’t do this can underbid the ones that do.

For slimmed down reports that are published/given to third parties (given to the customer’s customer) it’s extremely important that the scope of the test is detailed in that letter. The charlatan firms will be happy to omit the fact that they only tested the “about us” page while blind-folded.

So if you are reading a “letter of assessment” for something you are thinking of adopting, just look for the scope of the test, and if it sounds reasonable they potentially had a good test. If it’s missing, the test wasn’t worth the electrons in that letter.
The problem with Free Software is: there is no problem with Free Software. People have choice no to use it, people contribute to it, it works, it helps open source, a few a very mature and used in mission critical applications...

There is a problem with people trying to link Free Software with a single political line, be it socialism, capitalism or anarchism. Free Software has characteristics of the three lines: the freedom associated with capitalism, the community benifits associated with socialism and the diy aspect of anarchy.
I recently read the manga about Hitler's life from Shigeru Mizuki and noticed I learnt more about the man and how he came to be than in history classes in school (and I say this as a German where WW2 was basically half of all history classes - I wasn't the best student, though). So there certainly, at least for lower levels, is a lot of improvements possible regarding the learning environment, be it through video games, comics etc.
You can get ARM desktops now at non-crazy prices. The neat thing about them is they are 32/48 core CPUs at consumer-available prices[0]. Sure, they're on the high end, but it's around the cost of a workstation that one might use for, e.g., kernel development.

I'm not affiliated with Avantek in any way. I just did a bunch of research looking to build/buy a desktop, and ARM was a contender, but I ended up building a beefy x86 machine with a Ryzen instead.

Interesting that you see rail as a method to earn a wage.

I think it's positively evil for society that someone on minimum wage can't visit family or relations because they can't afford the fare.

That hurts everyone.
I had thought of APL as something from computing pre-history, with its bizarro custom keyboard, but I learned that APL and other array languages are apparently alive and well. Will subscribe to the podcast.

Two quotes the hosts brought up stuck with me:

If you're looking for a career with literally no bureaucratic overhead--no checklists, no tickets, no paper pushing, then IT is not the field for you. Every IT field has bureaucratic overhead. Yes, beginners rely on checklists more than experienced people do, but that's the same for any field.
Sure, and how do corporations make money? by doing something that the generally pro-social public finds valuable.

Of course it's not hard to find examples of corporations acting poorly and even examples of anti-social behavior making lots of money, but society in general seems to be quickly moving in a good direction. Less violence, more wealth, better tech, etc.

I think it's still better than GMail which is quick once it loads, but doesn't load for me many times when abroad. And for such a simple app (list last X emails), it's staggering they are not even trying to fix it.
I didn't mention Firejail because it's actually build on top of seccomp-bpf and namespaces. It's a user-space application, leveraging existing kernel features, but unless I'm even more confused than I thought (which wouldn't surprise me, tbh), the others I mentioned live in the kernel (though AFAIK AppArmor and SELinux are security module running in kernel space but not part of the kernel itself).

"Flexture" refers to the type of mechanism that moves the sample stage relative to the objective lens. It means that instead of a high precision rack-and-pinion gear system that moves the stage, it uses "flexure joints" which don't necessarily need to be precision machined (they can be 3D printed).

In a flexture mechanism you apply force to a flexible bar and, because of geometry, that displacement gets translated and reduced into a much smaller displacement somewhere else. It only works with very small displacements (thus fine for microscopy). If you want to position the sample large distances, you just need to move the sample.

It's a neat idea made inexpensive by 3D printing, but the major expense here will be the optics (the objective lens). To get decent pictures of cells, like in a textbook, you're talking about $1K minimum, and it can go much higher, into the 10's, depending on application, performance and other optics (the light source and it's lenses).

True, but I also feel like array programming is seen as less prevalent in industry than it really is due to a lack of online community (e.g. Haskell as a language probably has an order of magnitude more content online, let alone the functional paradigm).

In any financial centre there are hundreds of (often very well-paying) jobs using these languages (well mainly k and its ilk).
Aggressors like what? The US has military superiority and distance to the other super powers, and it would not be in any of their interests to start a war - let alone one on moral grounds, which are flexible at best for all superpowers.

They can pirate it.
I feel the incentive for free software / open source has changed. The >2000 explanation of why people code for free is basically "they hope to get hired due to their work". Maybe I was too naiv back in the 90s, but it didnt feel like it back then. And it is still not the truth for me personally. I publish code for free because I want to share with ohers. Yes, I've been invited to a conference or two due to what I wrote, but that was never the goal, and would have been far too little as a compensation for my time. Granted, I am not a major contributor, so I should probably keep my mouth shut. However, I feel like the incentive these days has been poisoned by capitalism.
The comment you linked says:

> As should be pretty clear from #11655 (comment), we're going to fix this, and yes, imo, autoupdates need an opt-in.

The comment #11655 says:

> Auto-updating for default Riot distributions will continue as before to ensure security fixes are delivered quickly

So at this point already it becomes unclear to the reader which of these has precedence.

So, assuming you're asking in good faith, if you wanted to be clearer you should have written something like:

"*Despite* what's written #11655 (comment), I disagree with the product teams assessment and think autoupdates need an opt-in, therefore I will make sure this is implemented."

(not sure if the content is 100% what you wanted to express in the comment, but you get the idea)
If the combined cost of housing, education, retirement, childcare and healthcare amounts to more than any average person can earn during a lifetime, these advantages are in other words never comparative to your investment of time and labor, you could argue that the free market has instituted a form of slavery even if we call it reality. You are after all working under the threat of physical harm if your healthcare depends on employment and we call that violence. Except of course in America where we call it freedom.
Capitalism isn't a problem with Free Software. The problem is free software people want to have their cake and eat it too.

Billion dollar corporations using your software and never having to paying you a dime is a feature of the FOSS system, not a bug, the rights of the user are paramount and sacrosanct. You, the developer, don't own the software you write any more than anyone else, and because it doesn't belong to you, you have no right to make demands of its users beyond their continuing to respect the rights of the end user.

If you can't make a living writing FOSS, that's not relevant to the philosophy. You chose a philosophy that doesn't care whether or not you can earn a living under it. If you want to guarantee people will pay for your software use a proprietary license. Otherwise, stop complaining that the world is playing the game by the rules you set and is beating you at it.
hey sorry i didn't see this earlier. it's not a code generator, as such, it's really just a structured way to write PLPGSQL functions alongside Go code, and have it deployed and upgraded automagically.

It would be great to generate Go stubs from the SQL definitions and I don't do that. I'd like something a bit like dotsql but ideally where it creates actual Go funcs out of the SQL function signatures.

The bit that I've done so far lets you package up SQL functions into a schema and treat them as a Go package. you can include them in go.mod and the functions are maintained without writing migration scripts.

I'm under the pump at the moment but I'll try to write something up about it and maybe ping you on github some time. Sorry i don't have much time at the moment!
They could, but a developer won't design it that way unless they're already trying to sidestep update mechanisms. The point still stands that there's a difference between "I trust the developer now" and "I trust the developer forever".
There would be no need for a U turn. Nothing very substantial has been promised. Note the way they very deliberately avoided the topic of price increases for instance.

I don't doubt this government's commitment to populist rhetoric and the appearance of grand, sweeping changes either. It's a formula that wins them a lot of votes, especially against an opposition that is confused as to what it stands for.

Why should people expect to be paid to work on a hobby?
It's not that bad is it? Lead developer puts you on a similar salary to senior doctors or lawyers, generally with a significantly less stressful work environment and shorter working hours.

I've seen several developers work towards management roles, make the switch and then end up moving back to IC roles after realising the grass isn't always greener.
That's such a good idea that tech companies already agree with you and have done precisely that. You might look at Mountain View for an example of tech companies lobbying for more housing in action.
>Uh making people stateless against human rights is about stripping people of their last citizenship.

Most of the world recognises Palestine as a state. Israel does not and is making it disappear thus making these people stateless.
It could annex these people's land with or without without recognising Palestine and hand em citizenship in the process but that's generally not the case.

>in contrast to most EU countries these days I might add, who are doing this, which shows once again just how empty human rights really are

I find this a bit unrelated but am curious non the less. I haven't heard of this so can you provide examples? (Ones not being fought in court atm) The cases i've heard had all had a non-eu citizenship.

>It is very much not about allowing a new state to spring up in the middle of an existing country.

I suspect you are being wilfully obtuse when you ignore nothing is springing up out of nowhere and the borders of said existing country have been constantly shifting to grow. It sounds like you're talking about the creation of Israel if anything which is probably too far back to be worth discussing much.
I've also thought about something similar, though I would call it a coop instead of a union. I would also say you need to share your other code too and contribute some profits - basically if you use the software you become part of the coop.
I've had these. Very cool to see them depicted so thoughtfully and read other peoples experiences. I'm very intrigued by the triggers for people as I've never fully understood mine if any.

I had them first when I was around 14, and got very worried as I realised I wasn't just my usual ADHD-distracted but literally couldn't read words I had my vision centred on. That's when I left the classroom and noticed my brain was reporting my arms at the wrong angles, contrary to my vision.... But they didn't go numb that time... Next I remember getting an injection and being told that the pain would soon come while seated in the Doctors office after being whisked home. It came but wasn't too bad, just a headache.

The next time I was terrified, it started in my fingers, and spread like when Neo first dips his fingers in the mirror as he is extracted from The Matrix. Right down my throat and everything. A tingling (scintillating?) of my skin on my right side. Don't recall if I got the visuals that time. Then an unremarkable headache.

I'm sure I had another episode but it was much more visual and it is exactly like the illustrations, but very bright, blazing and warping. Its interesting seeing-but-not-seeing. An unwelcome glimpse at the visual system of the brain.

Then I had no more migraines/aura for nearly 10 years... Plenty of headaches but you get shit for calling them migraines if you don't get aura or have to spend 2 days in bed with the curtains drawn (RIP people who get them that bad, right?).

Next time I was having mystery abdominal pain (which I eventually linked to intestinal worms) and getting quite stressed out about it and sleeping badly and taking lots of time off work and looking st screens, when suddenly the numbness happened again. Called an ambulance as older me gets spooked easier... And got a mild but long-lasting headache. A few days later I wake up feeling really weird, and the visual aura is putting on a show. Get a piercing headache moments later. But I eventually sleep and wake up fine. Few days later same thing but this time at work staring at a monitor. Great excuse to take the rest of the day off, no headache. Def dodgey crossing roads when you're half blind.

Then they stop for 5 years again.

Then I'm taking a hiking trail to my house from the city at an overly brisk pace, and its inconceivably longer and harder than expected and its getting dark. Just as I finally reach the other side and civilization again the scintillating in just one corner of my vision starts, by the time I get home its taken over and is virtually all I can see. Time for a panic attack too, why not? Then a mild headache and it's off to bed. Migraines are weird, and kind of fun.
Don't be so obtuse. we aren't talking about individual aspects, the author clearly suggests a fundamental change of the entire system. flawed child labor laws, or a lack of thereof, do not define capitalism.
You arent. You are supposed to defer sense making to authority and not think for yourself.
Theoretically it’s supposed to include capital gains, but according to German Wikipedia we use the net salary.
