I'm playing devil's advocate here, but why does "free software" only apply to some licenses with restrictions? why are the restrictions that the GPL or AGPL puts on you okay to still be called "free", but Apach

It probably won't work, sure, but I'm not going to continue to support games that I can't play without downloading cracks. And I feel they are crossing a line requiring that much control and integration with my system to run.

Yeah i'm sure i'm one of the outliers, but if I'm not voting with my wallet then why would they ever listen. easyanticheat is by far the worst i've ever experienced. That was the one that would crash if it saw pcap.dll,

I'd much rather those games just become unplayable. I've had so much trouble with anti-cheat systems that I will now refuse to buy or play any game that uses easyanticheat or battleye. I don't care how much it costs, how many

That's the beauty of paper ballots! It's not impossible to change votes on an individual level, but all the attacks against it don't scale at all. How many votes do you need to sway an election? There are about 50 precincts i

This doesn't answer your questions, but I firmly believe this is the major reason node took off in popularity. Npm let you install packages minutes after being installed, and they went right into a folder right there, and they didn&#x2

with git, you have a mirror on every single developer machine (kinda... depending on what you consider "all" of the code). We also have a full copy on our CI server (which is hosted on another service, so still not "in-house&

It's a tradeoff, just like anything else. We use Github heavily at my work, and at past jobs as well. But at the same time it's not the ONLY way we can work. If github has an outage, our CD will shut down, but we can still run all

I was surprised they didn't use force touch from the iPhone as the way you interface with it. It would feel so much better if you had to click the buttons, and it would cut down accidental brushes against it to basically nothing. In

I've always thought of lawyers like software developers in this case. If you give either of them carte blanche, they will tend to create overly complex and expensive systems. It's not even malicious or self-serving (at least I&#x2

But that's an entirely different argument, and it's one that always muddies up the conversation whenever I bring this up. This isn't a blog that loads 50 trackers and tons of superfluous animations and video, this is an appli

It is still an issue, but it's not nearly as common any more with javascript development. npm a while back moved to a "smarter" way of deduping and laying out files in a more "flat" way to avoid the massive bloating

I can understand that, but I still would prefer that over the alternative of changing history, losing context at why the revert happened (or that it happened at all!), and having to dig through reflog and hope that the machine that it was d

by Klathmon 8y ago
Reflog is analogous to the recycle bin (when used like this). It's nice in a pinch, but I don't want to rely on it, and it doesn't keep information forever. a revert keeps that history forever in your repo (unless you do some

It's one of my favorite things in git! Don't "pretend the commit didn't happen", actually "undo" the commit (as in commit the reverse of your change). Not only does it preserve the change in an easy-to-see

by Klathmon 8y ago
This only briefly touches on revert commits, and instead shows a lot of (in my opinion) dangerous history-destroying commands. Why aren't reverts more widely used? It seems a lot of devs I've worked with don't understand them
