I'd say that launching an MIT-licensed project hosted in an environment that trivializes forking should go a long way to allay the fears of the majority of those kinds of people. On top of all of that, this is a line-of-business application for them -- it seems fair to assume that a web IDE is something in which Adobe will plan to maintain its investment.
The appropriate way to take care of this is to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) which was created by the US government to look into issues like this. http://www.consumerfinance.gov/

Pedant point: a lot of people are writing about "verbal contracts" when they mean "oral contracts". A "verbal contract" is a contract in words--whether spoken or written, as opposed to a contract that is inferred from actions or implied by law.

Both contracts in this story (the one possibly agreed to on the phone, and the one offered in writing by email) were verbal contracts--one oral and one written.

In my experience using nginx + gunicorn will help here is why: gunicorn create child processes for your server. This way you can have 3-4 process all working towards serving your web-application. Nginx helps for serving static files and reverse poxing to either flask / django process. You should also consider using something like supervisord. Supervisord will make sure you're processes are restarted if they crash for some reason.

Not really. The lighting in Half Life 2 was based on static lightmaps. They were very fancy lightmaps, which enabled them to use techniques such as normal mapping or specular reflections, which are normally incompatible with lightmaps, but they were static lightmaps nonetheless.

It has some dynamic lighting effects, the same way Quake did them (modifying the lightmaps). It could also do projected shadows and self-shadowed objects using shadow maps, but not on world geometry.

I believe that the current source engine has some kind of dynamic lights. Either that, or Portal 2 did a fantastic job of faking them.

Still, that was 2011. Doom 3 came out in 2004, and exclusively used dynamic lighting, without a static lightmap in sight.

I will admit upfront that I lean toward the "great man" theory of history, so perhaps take this with a grain of salt.

We all know the old saw that "ideas are a dime a dozen, what matters is execution." What if the strategy (integrated vs. non-integrated) matters a lot less than how well it is executed?

Maybe the reason the "integrated approach" is winning is really that Apple is winning, and the reason Apple is winning is simply that they are executing better than their competitors.

As several others have pointed out, the non-integrated approach kicked Apple's ass in the PC market for years. I think that is simply because Microsoft, Intel, and their hardware partners executed better than Apple. Dell made a better computer than Apple and they did it faster and cheaper too, and marketed it extremely well. Of course they won.

Today with the iPad, it is Apple who is designing a better product, managing the supply chain to make it faster and cheaper, and marketing it extremely well. Their supply chain is so good that [HP could not even get their hands on equivalent parts to build a competitor.[1]

So I think Microsoft can try to go integrated with Surface...it won't matter until they make it better, faster, cheaper than the iPad. Maybe Horace Dediu asked exactly the right question: Who will be Microsoft's Tim Cook?[2]

>They think without the super-excitement from the "real fans" it would ruin the experience of the show.

i don't think it's so much about the experience of the show, it's more about the image of the artist. if only adults with full time jobs can afford to go to the shows, then they become known as artists that only responsible old people enjoy. and no responsible old person wants to see a show that only responsible old people enjoy, they want to go to the shows that the young cool people are going to.

I bet they are right too.

I think mac users have demonstrated they are for the most part willing to pay more for something they perceive as offering a better experience. You can't make that choice if you're some broke dude surfing from a 400 dollar *nix box, so I think it is given that average mac users are less price sensitive - the more cash you have, the more your time is valued imho.

FWIW, posting this from a slackware box with my mac cooling in the next room. So by all means, show me the cheap stuff first :)

I wouldn't pay you for that design. It's mediocre and needs major refinement. I would tell you to redo it. Get over it and learn to hustle better, Otherwise you won't make it very long as a designer. Verbal agreements don't mean anything any more. Clients just don't care and designers are a dime a dozen these days. If we fail then our competitors pick up our mess. Again I will say, get over it and find some other work. If you are as good as you think you are then you should have no problem finding work, right?

More than anything, cellular processes rely on chemical diffusion, which at that scale is more strongly affected by temperature than by gravity.

Also, gravity is almost constant everywhere on the earth's surface.

My favorite BBS hack was that on some standard RA configs, unless explicitly turned off by the sysop, you could save received messages to disk even if you were just a normal user. This meant that you could send a message to yourself, i.e. 'del . /q /s' (or whatever zapped your dos disk, I can't really remember.), and then save it to 'c:\autoexec.bat' ...

Other fun things where nailbombs, small .zip files that would expand to multiple gigs. When you uploaded those to early RA systems the virus scanner would attempt to unpack them and quickly fill up the entire disk, causing the BBS to grind to a halt.

I am male. No siblings. So your Indian stereotypes are both correct and incorrect. Depending on what part of the nation you are from, there are places where boys are preferred to girls. I came from a middle class expat family with a rather "liberal" bent. At least among the small sample of folks that I grew up with, most people had fewer kids and pampered the hell out of them focusing on ensuring that this went hand in hand with getting good grades. I believe the same is happening in China with the one child effect. I didn't see any sort of discrimination against women among this demographic. Obviously, India is the kind of place where you can cherry pick and find anecdotal evidence to pretty much support any hypothesis you want.

The point I was making is that right now go has a poorer set of 3rd party libraries than, for example java or c++, and that means that as a practical target it's not as attractive for people writing particular types of software.

It's patently absurd to argue that because go > C++ on the 'Zen' scale, that it's somehow also > C++ on the 'practicality' scale. These two axes are not totally independent (arguably say, the verbosity of java for example, decreases its value on the practicality scale) but they're weakly related.

Having a toolkit like QT makes C++ a vastly superior choice to go for a desktop application, despite the fact that C++ lies somewhere on the dark depths of hell on the 'Zen' scale.

What I was saying, and agreeing with the OP on, is: Pick your tool for your problem.

In some cases, that's Go. In some its C++. In some it might be java; but not having all those tools lying around that people can pickup to use is a major failing for go.

...and sure, that'll change eventually I'm sure; but it's an entirely valid complaint right now

In a previous discussion here, it was figured out that "twisting" is equivalent to MIMO. Is that your understanding? If so, it will be subject the same capacity limitations, meaning that capacity is approximately linear with degrees of freedom, then tapers off to a limit, the limit being related to the volume occupied by the receiver and transmitter.

Presumably the number of "integer charge" states is in some way related to the volume of space occupied?

Whoa $780 for that design? I personally would not have even charged for that preliminary design. Why are you designing any way. Where are the rough sketches and wireframes? Did you not learn that in school? Wireframes first, then discuss with management to get a better understanding of the underlying goals and objectives. Get them on the phone and ask lots of questions about the company, management, customers and the overall scope of the project.

> What it says is that he finds writing containers like lists of ints and maps of strings an unbearable burden. I find that an odd claim. I spend very little of my programming time struggling with those issues, even in languages without generic types.

Rob Pike seems to be doing a kind of programming unlike what most developers do. I fill, empty, filter and analyze values in containers all the time, and I suspect I'm not the only one.

> C++ programmers don't come to Go because they have fought hard to gain exquisite control of their programming domain, and don't want to surrender any of it. To them, software isn't just about getting the job done, it's about doing it a certain way.
> The issue, then, is that Go's success would contradict their world view

I'm disappointed that the only justification that he can find to explain why C++ programmers are not embracing Go is "C++ programmers don't get it".
