Yes, because Catalonia was resisting the fascist coup with their own revolutionary struggle to collectivize agriculture based on consent of the farmers, and worker ownership led by the labor unions who had been providing education and other

IMO there's a couple of networks that have provided a killer app, but Bitcoin maximalism and ETH dominance completely overshadow them. I've followed loosely since 2009, never got into it because I knew the UX would be a problem, b

I think it will in some cases and others it won't. I feel like I would have a hard time making good progress in software if Thursday was a wasted day like Friday often is, but I imagine some people will be able to knock out good progre

This is assuming the 38 hour worker isn't doing other productive things off the clock. I think it gets a lot less clear if any significant number of the 4 day workers are producing useful works in their new free time or helping with pr

I've definitely been surprised by the sentiment here lately that iOS devices are more secure. I don't know enough about iOS to evaluate that claim, but my impression of phone security is to basically assume it's been unlocked

Which is wild to me because my immediate thought upon learning was ok, how long until I can get off Xorg?

I could see it if you use the project for proprietary purposes yourself and are not the only contributor, or if you want to reach a wider audience with the project. In general though I'm surprised how large the permissive OSS ecosystem

It's fun to see someone else describe the tokens for votes model. I've been working on my first 3D game trying to think of how I would support it if it's OSS while giving players direct input about the direction and what&#x27

It's really unfortunate how unfriendly games are to modding both technically and legally today. We've certainly missed out on a lot of potential

Sadly the niche subs end up following the same path, and as someone who has done that Reddit is starting to feel like it's lost its charm. I think it boils down to upvote/downvote system steering discussions to a particular kind o

Yes, it's weird seeing the X is dead sentiment considering some of the most popular distros are still using X, and Wayland has only recently caught up with comparability for workflows like screen capture. I'm unfortunately stuck o

I would hate to be stuck on the same product or set of features, but I very much enjoy getting to a point where I know all of the systems, how they relate, and roughly where all the functionality lies and who's worked on what. It takes

Has anyone had a chance to test how Pipewire works with low latency? I'm excited at the idea of replacing my Pulse+ALSA setup, but I'm also looking for the lowest possible latency I can get as I use my DAW as an instrument :)

I think it's important to highlight the difference between productive and profitable here. There's likely many things someone could do that's more productive, as in creates a benefit for those around them, but those productiv

WFH will happen because firms practicing will be saving significantly on expensive office space that can be used to hire developers, especially in COL areas, and with remote not being the norm they are able to attract talent they would not

Unfortunately even in Chicago I found the commute to be exhausting when I lived right next to a train. It was still 40+ minutes if you got there right as the train was leaving, and most offices are still 10-20 minute walk from the stations.

I can't describe how distracting it is for me personally to have to overhear every screen share in a physical office, and how great and easy it is to do it remotely and even pull in another couple people if something they're knowl

I think this is an org-smell though, I shouldn't miss out on important details because I was in the stall or taking a quick walk either. My first job was remote communications oriented despite being overwhelmingly in-office employees,

We've been using it in production for a web service for over a year now, it's been a pleasant experience. dotnet core and ASP.NET are great platforms/ecosystems and F# has no trouble piggybacking off all that success.

I've worried about Microsoft's commitment to F# in the past, but as of late they seem clearly committed to signal boosting the language as a way to grab mindshare from people who are averse to C# for whatever reason. I recall from

The null thing is a bad example, particularly because it's from the .NET side and C# is focusing on removing that now through nullable reference types, but I'm honestly surprised they claimed F# has a better type system. F# lacks

I find Microsoft's documentation pages on F# to be a great reference as well, particularly if you're already well versed with .NET https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/

I just want to point out it's not necessarily that we want those things, it's that those who are in control push for it, and they do it because the way our society is structured rewards them for it

As someone who used to regularly fall asleep to TV, it wasn't just a learned behavior. I have a very overactive mind without stimulus it tends to get to work, but with something like TV sitcoms I'm not particularly interested in m
