No, I'm trying to write software on iOS, as are many other people. My app is probably over 35k lines. I'd rather have it all in Swift because I believe it would have fewer bugs, be easier to maintain, and perhaps even require less code:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/h4-spanish-lite/id388918463?...

Personally, I'm trying to contribute to the Swift transition by aggregating the Swift tutorials on the Internet.

At some point, if Apple doesn't open source Swift, I'd gladly help in an open source compiler.
In what way does it keep costs down?
> I on the other hand have no legal way to pay for some of the TV shows I'm watching. Even if I wanted. And I want.

Devil's advocate: so? Why should anyone have to provide you with the entertainment that you want? Why shouldn't they be able to exercise their right to sell their product to whoever they want - and leave out whoever they don't want? What possible justification could there be for that level of entitlement? What moral justification could there be for saying: sell me your product, or I will take it? How far does this go with IP? If a web designer refuses to sell me their design, am I free to take it? At least with tools like Photoshop, you can claim you "need" it to do work and make a living. Nobody needs a TV show.

I pirate TV. Some of the shows I could (and do; I also have Netflix) get legally and some I couldn't, but the fact of the matter is nobody "owes" me their TV show and I could just not watch it. And I would just stop watching, if the cost of all the TV shows I wanted to watch ever exceeded $10/month and piracy was too difficult/risky. I'm not kidding myself, the reason I pirate is because it's both cheap and convenient.

Honestly I'd probably be better off not watching TV anyway. :)

There are more than 100.000 names in that list and plenty of people would like to know them all. All of them.
I'm exaggerating of course, but dropouts don't tend to do well in Germany. You either fit in or get pushed out. I suppose Zuckerberg and the like would mainly end up as some no name devs in some company, if they were to adapt to the system.
No you shouldn't report bugs in closed source software you use. Because it has no benefit for you, only for the company. Are you being paid to make their product better? If their product failed you, find a new tool, don't fix theirs.

Now this is an ideal. You can't live like this unless you're RMS. But it is true nonetheless.

If my car breaks I don't submit a 25 page engineering report to Ford. I replace the car, or fix the problem personally and move on. My job isn't to do somebody else's job, especially when that person is paid more then me.

Presumably they gave you a reason, along with a sizeable bill?

You seem to have misunderstood the intent of the GNU GPL.

The intent is not to help companies.

The intent is to ensure that users (i.e. us) have continued access to Free Software.

How does the 'anti-tivoization' clause help in that?
Imaging you had a device: a TV, a phone, whatever.

It is discovered that the device is actually spying on you; if the device used [1] GNU GPLv3 software you would be entitled to both the source and the keys.

You could then correct this 'mis-feature' and stop the device from spying on you.

If the device used software only under the GNU GPLv2 then you would be entitled to only the source. If the device rejected your attempt to upload new software then too bad.

[1]: A vast over-simplfication, but I hope my point is illustrated.
Unfortunately it misses one of Photoshop's main selling points (for me at least)...cross-platform Windows and OSX.

I work on mostly Windows machines but sometimes I'm on a Mac of some sort. From the start, a big reason I've used Adobe's software (for video and audio as well) is that I can use it on any of the machines I tend to work on. The various Win-only and OSX-only packages cause issues when I need to work on a computer at work or at home that is running a different OS.

I love trying out new software in this field and am open to finding new favorites and new useful tools as they are developed but I always hesitate to put much time into something that isn't cross-platform.
It doesn't look like it.

But if I have two options: 1) Not watch a Movie/TV Show or 2) Pirate it (there's no option to buy it, which is true for most of the world besides the US), isn't piracy a "victimless" crime as in the producers of the content don't lose sales, because there was no way to do a sale in the first place?

I've yet to hear a good argument against piracy that boils down to anything but "what if everyone did it" and "the creator won't like it".

I'm bracing for the downvotes here, but I really don't see copying for personal use as a negative. To me, it's illegal in the same way that violating traffic laws to keep up with the flow of traffic is illegal (technically, but (sufficiently small values of) nobody actually cares or is actually harmed by it).

Would love to see some arguments to the contrary that aren't straight out of the media cartel fallacies playbook :)
Might want to instead pick up kids who are currently attending college. Myself, as well as many of my peers, work part time off campus during the semester. Many students are willing to work part-time, school part-time. Trying to pick them up in high school might be just a bit too early for Americans.

However, I wouldn't completely give up on finding the high school kids, since I was one of those kids. I started working for my dad's employer after my junior year of high school when I passed the AP computer science test. It really gave me a leg up in finding other internships and put me way ahead of my peers at university.
I don't get the point. I have always had a "sql" directory in my project with named `.sql` files for all my queries. Then just load them up with a `require.extensions["sql"]` override, or another mechanism. You should be using sql parameters anyway, formatting/interpolation shouldn't even be a consideration.

Plus, keeping queries in their own files makes the change history nicer.
1) Bank bonuses aren't just paid to executives. These losses were from one department of the bank and that one department could have losses so large that it destroyed the whole bank. Even if you got rid of the people who fucked up, you'd have a lot of people left who didn't.

Also, the banks that failed were typically sold off to banks who healthy. The government was strong arming banks into buying weaker banks with gov loans. Goldman, Chase, BoA all didn't get trapped in the subprime mess.

2) Talent will flee to the money. I've seen this in law firms. Firms that don't properly pay their "rainmakers" lose them to firms who will.

The banks laid off tons of people.

I think stealing is only part of it. A lot of it is actually availability: the mainstream industry simply can't or won't compete on availability and convenience, which explains why piracy is rampant.

If you could pay a fee and get whatever show/movie you wanted, whenever you wanted, without region restrictions, and in the original language, I think we would see a drastic reduction of piracy. Some people will download pirated movies just because, of course, but I think we would see a drastic reduction of piracy if paid content was just more convenient.

In other word, distributors need to shape up. Of course, it's easier to blame consumers and try to enforce stricter DRM instead of improving the quality of service...
It's probably hard to get a CE mark or FCC certification for a PCB-style product, right? Those organizations probably want to know about emissions but it doesn't make sense to measure a PCB for radiated emissions since it has so few protections against it.

Arguably, that's your job -- when you buy the PCB you are planning to integrate it with an enclosure that will solve those problems and now that you've designed this new product you should get the certifications.
At this point, since I can find no actual media depicting this, I kinda want to try it myself. :-)

I'd guess that people who think "you can do this" instead of "I can do this" heard the phrase "you can do this" often, for example from their parents, other relatives, or friends. If that's true, then this article just confuses causation with correlation: The causal link is more likely to be "people from a supportive environment worry less (and they also talk to themselves in the second person)".
Most people are there because they got excellent grades at excellent colleges. These criteria objectively select for people who are sharp, though not necessarily geniuses, and have a demonstrated track record of working very hard and paying a lot of attention to detail and deadlines.

In many ways, banking hiring is more "meritocratic" than tech hiring. There is less emphasis on "fit" and "culture" and because new hires are viewed as tabula rasa there is less emphasis on criteria that might be gender-biased (e.g. high-school extra-curricular activities).

Yup. Can we have the title edited, it is completely wrong.
Whether we embraced it or not, it was part of the calculus. So was the fact that we'd need continued investment into the economy to work our way out of the financial collapse. That meant that options like nationalizing banks, which might drive investment overseas in the future, could have a direct negative economic impact that needed to be considered.
Because not everyone has rigid beliefs about what the correct software license is. Because people like to help. Because a lot of software engineers make enough money in their career that they don't mind doing things for free. Because people use Swift daily and are frustrated by running into the same issue over and over again. Because people like Apple and want to be a (small) part of it. Because helping to identify test cases publicly (and thereby showing you don't just bitch and moan about issues, but pitch in to fix them) on Github looks great on a cover letter.

>> "The excuse is often weak, but this does nothing to change human nature in the slightest."

True, I'm not sure why it annoys me so much. I would be much happier if people just said, "Sure, I pirate some stuff I don't need. There is no excuse for it but I do it anyway." The end result is the same.
I can't confirm that.

As a leecher, whether TPB is a honeypot is irrelevant to you. Any adversary can get the same magnets somewhere else and monitor the swarm for all of your IPs anyway.

He/she tries to excuse their piracy (it's not available in my country/can't access tools). This is an excuse lots of people use and seem to think it makes piracy ok. My point it that it doesn't. If you're pirating something just admit that there is no excuse - you can live without that episode of Game Of Thrones.

Prevalidator is a showcase which puts new startup ideas in front of the crowd. Users interact with projects by commenting, rating, sharing and direct liaison with project owners. Users can also prebuy products at significant discounts. Users can signup for individual projects and project owners will receive their contact information to enable them to build their own potential user lists. Prevalidator will have a large registered user database providing a "built in" audience for projects. Unregistered users can also view, but not interact with projects.The platform measures all interactions and uses an algorithm to calculate project popularity and validity of the concept/idea. The concept was built around the principles of simplifying validation, user acquisition and product development based on early adopter feedback for new startups.

>> "isn't piracy a "victimless" crime as in the producers of the content don't lose sales"

I don't know. Maybe the creator didn't want people in a certain country to view the material. Maybe it hurts their feelings that it's being pirated. Maybe they have a release planned 6 months from now in a certain country and their sales will be down for that. There's no way to know for certain you won't be causing harm.
Do you have an example of how to use this? I'm interested in analogs of the way Firebase works.
AFAIK the big problem without a case is Wifi/BT (and maybe an RTC) - that said if the vendors would at least get an class B certification for one pcb+case combination they could probably improve OEM shipments.

Some commenters say the Raspberry PI got a Class B certification without having a case - but it also has no Wifi/BT/RTC - so this could be possible.

Pretty much everything is insecure. Writing things in not-php isn't the magical fix you seem to think it is.
Here's an example from a few years ago I still use. When the Harry Potter movie #6 came out, I wanted to watch movies 1-5 a few days prior. I already owned 1-4 on DVD, but needed #5. I could not find it. iTunes, Netflix, and other streaming services didn't have it. Stores were sold out. I did spend more time than I thought it deserved trying to find a way to pay for this content. Then I gave up and torrented it. The kicker? iTunes removed the movie about a week before this.

My other random perspective on torrenting/piracy is this: the industry will often use the price of the digital good * number of downloads as the figure for the loss of profits. However, this gives them way too much credit. They don't have the magic oracle or the distribution system to price each sale individually so as to extract the maximum amount of money from every buyer (Alice thinks the movie is worth $6.82 while Bob thinks it's worth $9.13). I argue that if there is a million downloads of a movie off a torrent site, that does not mean a million lost sales. I imagine it's closer to 0 than 1m. Basically, if most of the people downloading the movie couldn't get it for free, they simply wouldn't pick that particular movie.
Quite. That case sounds frivolous, considering that we're talking about two EU countries, and the whole point of EU is that people (labour) and money (capital) can move from member country to other, without duties. But it does not surprise me that when a government starts a frivolous case, they incur frivolous expenses on others, and will not compensate. Belgium appears to be at the top end of world when it comes to tax revenue as % of GDP (after Denmark and Zimbabwe, of all places), and it is no wonder the system starts creaking at joints.
I don't think this is the kind of pessimism you see here. What people are basically saying is that this concept looks cool in the picture, but is crap from engineering point of view. No one is saying we don't need better tech for rescue operations.
Worth mentioning - Github is a great place for code since code itself is rarely objectionable, but when you begin hosting writing there, they appear to be really quick to drop the censorship hammer for questionable reasons, hiding behind the ToS when questioned.

Blogs are the simplest thing in the world to host - a $5 VM at Digital Ocean or similar all but eliminates any censorship concerns, and a static generator like Octopress ensures that you have an easily-rehostable backup of your words in case of the contrary.

>Until people go to jail for the crimes (see Iceland) nothing will get fixed.

This is such a bizarre argument. You don't think there were/are oodles of prosecutors frothing at the mouth to throw some bankers in jail? Look around the internet! They'd be heroes! The public would rejoice, yet it hasn't happened, because proving that some of the perceived corruption and missteps are actual crimes is, apparently, more difficult than you think. And I don't want to live in a country when the government can decide, willy-nilly, to throw corporate executives in the slammer.

Second, tthrowing here are far more effective means of "punishment" than some low-ranking employee in white-collar prison (which costs us MORE money). Fines have been used, which punish earnings, executive pay, and shareholders.

The weak excuse suffices for many people because the fault is perceived as proportionally weak. You don't pay for watching things you are not allowed to pay for anyway.
Where's the harm?

We can argue if that perception is right, but I think this is the reasoning that justifies piracy in the eyes of many pirates.
