How to make reviewing pull requests a better experience
Of course it does. It is an explanation for why Explorer was preferred. Explorer was not forced on anybody.
I rather use WebGPU, on the Web, using it for native is always going to be playing catchup with middleware engines that don't have to worry about targeting a 2016 hardware design, as minimum viable product across all major native APIs, and with browser sandboxing in mind.

Although it appears to be the next managed 3D API for Android userspace, as communicated at SIGGGRAPH, then again it is better than being stuck with GL ES 3.x as it is now.

So a matter of perspective I guess.
Unless you're selling glasses under that name, then it's fine. Lol.
But that's a ridiculous example you're proposing in bad faith.

I flag nearly all abbreviations in code reviews because code is meant to be read and the names of things should be clear.
I've honestly never considered "source available" as a derogatory term. If you release your source code so people can look at it but you're not using an Open Source license I think it's a perfectly respectful (and often self-selected) way to describe something.

True. It would only technically be simple, not politically.

> which can lead to overly broad exception handling and mask important errors

I'm sure it can, but some evidence of this actually happening feels rather critical for a change that will break the language for everybody.
Here, too?

As the articles notes, this kind of apostrophe has been "correct" for many, many years, at least for names, and no, not just for avoiding confusion with names ending in 's'. The "Duden" (one of the officially recognized authorities for German spelling) has had the example "Willi's Würstchenbude" for many years, despite "Willis" not being a common name in Germany.

Now that one tries to simplify things, the Cliff Clavins of Germany freak out because they lose one example where they could feel smarter than others. There really is nothing to see here.
I suspect you're conflating meaning with clarity. The article discusses what is meant by "source-available" in terms of the rights it implies. Whether those rights are ambiguous or subjective feels like a different question.
Reading this, I come away with the impression that European languages today are evolving due to the influence of "Vulgar English" (the lowest common denominator of English spoken by the most people worldwide), analogously to how Romance languages like Spanish and French evolved in the past due to the influence of "Vulgar Latin."[a]

I withdraw the above comment; they do explain why many things in OhMeadhbh's comment are incorrect, but not everything.
I’ve never heard “advices” (in the US). Maybe it is a continental Europe thing? They may have surpassed even us, at the art of inventing new words and spellings to annoy the English.
It absolutely is, if it makes compile times unreasonable for reasonable code. Compilers have to make trade-offs like this all the time, they can't use overly excessive optimizations.
It seems the EU laws for this have changed last year [1], to allow Erdbeermarmelade again.

> Then, property taxes go up by $200/mo. Do you think your rent won't go up by at least $200/mo as a direct consequence of the tax increase? Because it will. Because the renter is of course paying for all costs, including those taxes.

So, before property taxes went up, the landlord could have raised rents by $200/month, but hadn't because..?
Sounds like you think they should be charged.
> Fair source has a very clear definition:

Just because some people decide to define a term doesn't mean that the words making up that term aren't confusing and misleading. Defining "fair source" without regard to common understandings of what's "fair" is guaranteed to leave a good chunk of the world disliking your terminology.
I had to deal with it ~1-2 years ago so for my faily ancient self it feels "recent" though considering that there were JS frameworks popping up every couple of months and were getting dropped a year later then my timeframe may be off ;)
Well done! if you want to extend your CLI UI, check out Bubble Tea (https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea)
Maybe English/Globish should go in the opposite direction. Apostrophes, at least for the genitive case, are awfully annoying: curly/non-curly, extra character, not pronounced, uncouth... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Criticism
By the same (linguistic) logic, "open source" should really refer to cases when the source is accessible, because it is just that - the opposite of "closed", and "libre source" to the cases when there are additional freedoms of use allowed. Alas, that ship has sailed.

That said, "fair source" is a very confusing term. Not really much better.
Oh well, at least we don’t need help highlighting every noun in a sentence.

Lots of possibilities. One is that Android charges a per-device* fee to the phone manufacturers to license the OS, similar to Windows.

> Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war"

That is a very subjective opinion. I don't believe anyone can name a more targeted military operation.

Israel is defending against war crimes that went on for months. The wining about Hezbollah infrastructure and leaders being targeted is pretty rich.
I was a heavy smoker for the better part of two decades and I agree with half of what you said. Parts of smoking were great, and I miss them dearly. I quit because the totality wasn't great for me, and I felt like it hadn't been in a long time.

Where I disagree is the part about quitting and addiction. The best definition of addiction I ever received was from psychologist friend who said addiction is when a behavior is in conflict with you and your life goals. As such, it is really only a judgment someone can make about themselves. It is "a personal behavior that I don't like". I don't think outsiders have standing to decide what is best for others.
"Fair source" in this case means "not Open Source". Author complains about binary classification, but we get antsy about this kind of thing for a reason.

There's nothing wrong with going source-available, and it's quite useful - but only if you can see the source of the version you're running! I have in the past experience with the weird partly available source of Windows CE, which was also very much not Open Source (no redistribution, subject to Microsoft product licensing etc).

This also seems downstream of the Wordpress fiasco in some way.
Cant stand the infantilization of software tools. People can choose for themselves what features to use or not use. Doesnt need to be determined by our keepers. Also do Python maintainers just hate backwards compat as some sort of religion?

I agree. I attribute that mostly to NixOS though. It reminds me of the old Prince of Persia game where I could make a mistake, rewind time, and try again.

I find Ubuntu and others to be pretty fragile still. IMO, technologically Linux has been ready for years. If NixOS were packaged into an actual product experience it would be a great new entrant into the desktop operating system space.
Even if you remove cookies, you can still be identified. Your browser is very, very leaky with the information it provides(probably by design, since all the major web browsers are in the pockets of the worlds largest ad distribution networks, one way or the other).

I agree - the comment tree has been baffling to me too, but rather amusing. I understand that some people disagree with your original post about using a particular book to sound people out, but I don't understand the harsh reactions to the method itself (it seems some were against the method rather than the book?). That kind of thing sounds to me like an interesting conversation starter or prompt!

If its not in debian and fedora main repo proper, its not open source as far as I am concerned. We can argue about the semantics but this filter is great at removing a bulk of the projects that will tip over the moment the company championing it pivots or fails.
I think it makes sense, like a scientist might think of their codes as discrete things, because one code was written for each experiment. The work-product is the experiment, the codes are just little things that make it happen.

Have you not had any of the classic Gnome/Linux/Wayland issues? Electron apps running slow/freezing, weird scaling issues, screen recording issues, display output/detection issues, sound and Bluetooth issues, ...

Typescript was written very intentionally to be really easy to transpile to JS which is why you see so many solutions. The type checking piece remains not reimplemented despite high profile third party attempts to rewrite it in a faster language. The type checking piece is exactly the thing that makes typescript typescript. And the reason the external frontend attempt failed is that it can’t keep up with mainline development which is also true for CPython and its offshoots. In fact, TS is so easy to strip that the syntax is being standardized within official ecmascript so that any type checking annotations could be layered into JS code and engines would natively strip without needing transpolation in the first place.

As for “rust without the borrow checker” it’s very much not the same thing as Typescript transpilation for many reasons among which are that there are many other language rules would still have to be enforced. It’s akin to making a TS type checker that didn’t validate 1 of the language rules but enforced the others.

I’m not opposed to a compilation mode that didn’t enforce the borrow checker but repeated tests of compiling various software packages reveal that the borrow checker is within the noise performance wise. So you’d need a more compelling reason than “maybe it runs faster”.
Microservices are distributed and distributed systems are inherently more complex than non-distributed ones.[0]

> A microservice can be as simple as studying it's inputs and outputs and nothing more. All of which can be observed via tracing, logging or whatever you prefer, either on a sampled-basis, only on errors, or all the time.

In a statically-typed monolith, function calls are typed, I can jump to the declaration site with a mouse click and if I pass the wrong type, the code won't compile. That's way easier than "you can observe the inputs and outputs" (and hope that your observations generalise sufficiently). And yes, there are solutions for this (contract tests, Avro schemas, etc.), but they are inherently more complicated (maybe the most interesting idea I've seen in this space is Unison[1], but that's not gonna gain a lot of traction anytime soon, I predict).

Of course, microservices have valid use cases, but they come at a significant cost. I don't understand how one can argue that that cost doesn't exist.

Source Available is a great term. It's not about Freedom - it's about security and trust.
It can be one.

Perhaps you don’t want it.
You see improvements because Linux is still trying to get better. Linux wants to win over windows users. Windows is long past trying to win new users. Windows has moved on. Windows development now seems focused on how to better track and monetize users. Step away from windows for a few years and you will come back to something worse than when you left, similar to how airlines seem to be getting worse year on year.
Until I read your definition I assumed what the parent comment mentioned i.e. there's some inherent fairness in the project/code, which made little sense.

I love things like this. And it's impressive that you do surgery + travel + programming. I can hardly manage just the last one.

For launches like this, the blocker for me signing up is seeing an example of the UI. Productivity tools, especially ones for trip planning are so heavily design + vibes based that I'd need to see what it looks like before considering how it would be helpful for me. I think others might feel similar as well.

Congrats on the launch and good luck!
If the projects are on freebsd / openbsd that goes even further with me.

Using an AI for A/B testing. Hmmmm.

At the end of the day, the AI model would produce a prediction of what your modeled users would prefer. The quality of the results would depend a lot on how accurately your users were modeled.

I could see it potentially making an A/B test go faster IF the predictions were accurate.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone is using AI tools for A/B testing and how effective it is compared to conventional tools.

> impossible for new entrants unless they invest billions

All industries require that you invest billions, and it’s to compensate the civilization-long effort of R&D that the other company did. Reasoning-by-absurd: Should Boeing display all the plans of the band new Dreamliner so that it doesn’t take billions for new competitors to emerge? Should all companies make their blueprint public so they can have immediate competition? No, Google invested in browsers and set up new norms in WWW in exchange for their position on the market. The benefit to the general population has been excellent WWW norms, to be honest.

I’m thinking outside the law framework but to me, no corporation should be have 51% market share. But that’s wishful thinking, not the law (also, market share is something economists struggle to define).

WP Engine has those lawyers. But also, there is a good chance of a class action because it affects so many people. I've seen talk of a class action but I don't know how much is just talk.
I've been using WordPress non-stop since 2005. I even hoped to someday work for Automattic. I applied and got through the initial process, but with a young child and a full-time job, I couldn't make time for the laborious "trial" part of the interview, so my application was put on indefinite pause. It pains me to watch this unfolding series of unforced errors. I hope WordPress survives.

> is there no escape from 9-5 as a concept?

There is absolutely an escape from that as a concept, but it involves a tradeoff: if you're willing to live on a reduced income, you can gain more time not working.

Also, as you've noticed, being self-employed means you will be working more, not less. The wins of self-employment are other things, not the ability to work less.

> Are all these books about working 2 hours a week while making millions, are just BS?

Unequivocally yes. There are a handful of people who've pulled that off (and they aren't the ones writing those books), but the odds of you being one of them are so low as be approximately zero, in part because it involves a whole lot of pure luck.
As a Pole I'm also fairly annoyed by having to use English daily ;)
This is all very reasonable, but when you look at contemporaneous accounts of what those Latvians, Lithuanians, and Ukrainians were writing in their Chicago newspapers, it gets a lot less reasonable --- there was a strong undercurrent of Holocaust denial.

There's some useful context around the https://fair.io/ initiative in this GitHub issue from May: https://github.com/fairsource/fair.io/issues/14
Depends on the direction.

If data diode points to outside, like a power plant exporting its status to web, then photosensor can be completely taken over. Sure, the web page might be completely bogus, but there will be no disruption in power plant's system. The hardware design guarantees it. That is the strongest case for data diodes.

If data diode points to inside, like a power plant getting new data from the outside, then sure, photosensor software is a concern, but since it's relatively simple, this would not be my biggest worry. I'd worry about app that runs on target PC and receives files; if file is an archive, about un-archiver exploits; an finally about the files themselves. If there a doc, are you sure it's not exploiting Word? If there is an update, are you sure it's not trojaned? Are you sure users are not click on the executable thinking it's a directory?
There are such an enormous array of possible influences on this, most likely being the power profile.

By default Windows on a laptop (in this case a Zenbook S 14 with Core Ultra 7 256V) uses a reduced power mode where it limits the max frequency and is less aggressive in scaling up core frequency because of the greatly reduced return per unit of power (which can destroy battery life and make heat profiles unacceptable).

This comparison makes no mention of the power profile, nor does it observe battery usage if applicable.

This looks like a misleading if not completely useless clickbait comparison. Others mentioned schedulers, and while schedulers can account account for a percent or two difference across this sort of wide workload, instead a huge disparity is seen.
I often find discussions of these sorts, whether for python or other open source projects, get so focused on purity of concept that they totally forget practicality
