Yes, it's funny how everything that was lacking on Mobile is slowly falling into place. However, support for Android apps would have to be stellar I guess, as getting developers on board after the quadrillionth reboot of your mobile platform isn't exactly going to be easy. ;-)

I did this in boxing. My coach was very fond of drills. I remember my first week (5 trainings a week) he only taught and drilled me how to move. No punchs, nothing. Just the various movements, rotation, how to shift weight, etc.

I did it for about 3 months like this, with maybe, maybe a 30-45 minute spar session per week (and at this time, I was doing 3 trainings a day during week, 2 on saturdays).

Had my first fight around the 3-4 month mark and won it without much difficulty.

I see this now that I am learning padel tennis. Been playing for a year or so, but I hardly do any games, mainly practise/drills with my coach (4 times a week). Maybe 2 games a month. I started in September not even knowing how to play, to surpass most people in my trainings, since the drills make me play in games as I practise, since it was drilled so much, while 95%+ of the people do one movement in practise, then get to a game and change it all, reduce speed, or just hit it wrong because they end up 'practising' more the matches with wrong technique/no correction, vs the folks that repeat the same movement 1000 times with correction. In a few months I may even get my beginners coaching certificate.

Honestly, I think this particular argument is bogus.

From my point of view what counts is actual kernel development. If you are going to develop kernel because it uses cool new language but you would not if it was still C, you are probably not the right person.

Now, I think Rust has potential to be good kernel language, I am mostly concerned with toolchain, ability for people to read the code with comprehension, ensure correct code, etc.
I guess jumping into a body of water which has a cooler temperature would still help? Jumping into water which is 36 degrees or warmer wouldn't.
Sorry, that might have been a bad choice of words on my part (not a native speaker). I agree that this process would be simple and easy in an ideal world but we can't reasonably expect every developer to think about price structures for their small OSS projects. So this will most likely involve at least some sort of talking between both parties.
Ultimately the company plans to make mony off of the OSS project, surely those two hours won't make the whole business case invalid.

I'm with you on AC, but not the pool. That's an expensive, time-consuming luxury. (Or even more expensive, if you pay someone else to maintain it.) The occasional pool-party could be had elsewhere (community pool? neighbor's pool?), or even at the beach instead.

If you kept on that line of logic, a PlayStation 5 and an espresso machine are also "not material goods" and are ways to create experiences, and I can't actually tell where that line of thought stops.
I'll second that endorsement. I'm in the middle of migrating to gitea from Github for similar reasons and I've been pleased with the experience so far having hosted Gitlab CE and gogs in the past.

Storing IPs by themselves are not against the GDPR, and you do not really require consent for storing them for legitimate reasons, (Think nginx access logs, or rate limits on API endpoints/ banning IPs abusing your service). [1] Pairing IP addresses with other potentially identifying information can also be a little bit of a legal gray area (Look at Fingerprint.js) if done for legitimate reasons (Like fraud detection).

Though honestly most users do not really care about the check box that says "I agree to give you access to all my personal information and sell it to everyone" when they click install, and it's such a sad situation. GDPR had a great potential, it's sad it was unable to do it's best.

>> Some things are trivial to specify but hard to code.

Well, that's the point of automating the coding effort. The specification guides a search for a program that satisfies it. In your hash table example there's no need to tell the synthesiser how to code the hash table, only what the hash table has to do.

The search of course can get very expensive and that's an important bottleneck in program synthesis. But, in principle, if the specification is correct, then a correct program is somewhere in the program search space and a search will eventually find it.
I quite appreciate the reports. I normally don't follow the linux kernel development, but the possible support of Rust is one major step for the kernel which is hugely interesting.

The Linux kernel has become one of the most, if not the most important piece of IT infrastructure. Progress of any further developments of it as well as the security itself are prime concerns for all users. So far the development was solely limited to C, with all the tradeoffs. It is highly interesting to see whether a more modern language can be incorporated and the Rust effort looks very promising. Both from the language capabilities as well as the progress being made.

Right. Carmack's goals are clearly not aligned with those of the FSF. The FSF is perfectly happy for Free software to be of no value to those who develop non-Free Software, indeed they actively prefer it that way, viewing all non-Free software as unethical.

Evidently Carmack would rather the Id source releases be of use to as many developers as possible. As he says though, My partners would never have gone for it, precisely because it would have been valuable to developers of non-Free games, who compete with Id.

The tone of so many articles and comments online seems to be "Shrug, not much we can do about it". Or pedantically arguing about minutia.

Between this and the pandemic response in so many places, I'm not so sure humanity is going to be around in a century or two.

The rich will live in climate controlled domes on remote islands or ships, while billions of people starve, overheat, or fight over scraps. The global "elite" rich have a serious blind-spot though: They never seem to realize that they rely on a massive robust web of interconnected humanity to support their wealth and privilege. From billions of farmers, miners, craftspeople, teachers, to workers of all types, the global rich live at the top of a massive pyramid of humanity.

Makes me wonder if the person who is desperately trying to bootstrap a society on Mars has the right idea...

I'm sure everyone doing tracking of console programs is just chomping at the bit waiting for the creation of an easy-to-remember way for users to opt out...

more useful would be something like this that lets users opt in or out of the various TYPES of tracking that are done.

for example, I don't care about application usage telemetry. if you want to know that it's hard for me to remember a particular subcommand and am often looking up help for that subcommand, I don't care if you want know that.

if you want to show me "we're hiring" horsepoo, well you can go away. opt out. same for "please donate, I'm not rich enough yet" messages. and straight ads can just die.

options to tweak those things granularly would be welcome, if we're just daydreaming about things that will never get adopted.

In some areas MS Office is still far behind LO. Especially when it comes to not like a noob styling everything directly via bold, italic, font size and so on buttons, but actually making things a style, and keeping the document free from direct styling.

Maybe LO is a touch more difficult to use, but in functionality, I would choose it every time over MS Office. Especially the Office 365 versions suck. They are sooo buggy. One example: Move your selected cell in online MS Excel quickly using 2 arrow keys, like down + right or up + right. Sometimes it will simply delete cell content. wtf.
A lot; I'm sure there's new jargon showing up everywhere and becoming disused everywhere as we speak.

> elm-review doesn’t have severity levels, meaning that all enabled rules are enforced. Yes, no warnings

Imo, this misses an important use case for warnings: reporting issues that I don't want in committed code, but that are fine while developing.
For example, dead code — I don't want to commit a function that's never called, but I do want to be able to compile/run my code and run any tools over it when I've written a new function but not yet called it.
Making things into units and making things in generalities is something very different. There is no such thing as a new introduction of a generality that would lessen the mental load in itself, it is both a source of bugs and an obstacle to reading but of course sometimes the tradeoffs are worth it. It just that your solution to reading seems to imply that generalization as such is helpful, and I think its the main cause of redundant complexity.
Yes, it's very rough, that's why I just said "billions". Not a project to take on lightly, anyway.

Microsoft actually did do that in the 90's.

At very least the Azure Sphere OS team should finally adopt Rust, instead of doing security marketing with the 7 layers of whatever, and then shipping a C only SDK.

It is like they are absent of the company security efforts, while trying to sell us a story of how much they care about security.
Hello, long time (occasional) user of audacity here, who doesn't mind opt-in telemetry but surely is very angry at opt-out telemetry!

What's your personal view (and that of others reading this thread) on software freedom and how to develop free software?

I'm glad you people went with libera.chat and not Telegram. IRC is standard tech that can be bridged from Matrix/XMPP (and others). But what about github? I don't think github is fit for free software development (being a centralized, non-free platform) but i understand the argument that everybody's on there. More specifically, do you have infrastructure for the website/CI/CD so you don't have to rely on Github Pages/Actions?

Why should the whole country be compared to anywhere though? The idea (implicitly) is that it gives you a sense of what it's like to live in the US. But no one lives in the whole country. People live in a particular area, usually one state (out of 50). Even then, most people's lives are largely limited to one or two counties. The reason that most Americans are not concerned with this kind of thing is that the vast majority of them are not exposed to this violence at all. For most Americans, life is extremely safe and peaceful.
While that is possible, I strongly suspect that in Audacity case it is because they are outsourcing the data collecting to google analytic services, and google uses the personal data as payment for the service.

They could do the data collection themselves and chose not to store personal identifiable information, in which case they can remove the legal boilerplate since it won't be needed. This suggestion naturally already exist in the GitHub issue.
Is this an actual implementation? Or is it just someone musing about what would be possible? Is it even possible for a Bluetooth chipset to read the traffic sent by the devices, or is the encryption handled by the CPU?

Covid-19 clears up rapidly after stool transplant to treat bacterial infection
I find it hard to review open source software. One one hand it's incredible and honorable that it is completely free, but on the other hand the UX and workflow is unfortunately often subpar. So, usually it is great for occasional user, but not cost effective for a professional.

The issue I find with many OSS projects is that they just kind of copy the features of the professional counterparts instead of focusing on the UX/workflows for each use case. The result is that they remain only kind of poor imitations.

Lately however, I find more and more OSS projects that break out of this pattern. Krita for example has really focused of drawing and animation. While it doesn't have all features of the Photoshop (eg. it can't compete with PS in photography editing or design), it has surpassed PS in many ways for drawing and animation. Powerful and exotic brush engines, perspective tools, proper animation timeline with onion skinning... All of these Krita features are worse or missing in PS.

Blender, since UI redesign in 2.80, has also seriously upped their game and is becoming more viable solution with each release.
MuseScore is another OSS project that is on good path to become competitive with professional products soon.

I can't say that for Audacity, Gimp and LibreOffice yet. Maybe some day. Worst offender IMO is LibreOffice. MS office has so many questionable design choices, that LibreOffice could really stand out, if they would deviate further from MS office in regards to UX and workflows.

One thing I find good OSS has in common is innovative funding of the project. They have all found a way to gather funds to pay at least some full time developers, while offering the software for free to end users with source code avaliable. Firefox has a deal with Google for offering it's search engine as default. Krita has had some interesting Kickstarter campaigns, Blender has managed to get funding from some big studios, MuseScore has paid online service etc. Offering paid support or offering another paid product that relies on OSS are also popular ways to gather funds. Anyone knows, if there is any resource on ways how open source projects fund development? They are really interesting business models, where developer are getting paid for their work and the product they create benefits many more people (as anyone can afford it) that in closed source projects.
Most of your job will involve taking user data, validating it, putting it into some database, then retrieving and serving it, probably as JSON.

You may edit an HTML template here and there.

Maybe even some configuration work for CI/CD.

Rinse, repeat, with whatever new language/framework is hot right now.

Basically, you will be solving the same set of problems on every job, but in more convoluted and unnecessary ways, because the guy who worked at Google says that's how they do it over at the FAANG.
