I mean, a CMS adds complexity and hosting costs when enough people just want to get those dozen blog posts out there and don't care about the rest. Not like people don't know about stuff like WP.

Unlicensed is the same as closed source. It's only open source if explicitly stated.

by Mikeb85 5y ago
There's plenty of closed source software where you can view the source. Open source just means the ability to modify, use and potentially redistribute according to the terms of the license.

Why do you think the agricultural revolution was a big deal? Prior to that, humans spent way too much time hunting and gathering (prey ran away and wild edibles don't have many calories). The whole reason technological development acce

> Agriculture isn't hard to invent Alright, go find a wild grass or vegetable and turn it into something resembling a modern staple crop or vegetable.

They spent more time surviving. Plus many 'discoveries' were likely accidents. Like, if you put even modern humans with knowledge of technology out in the wild how quickly do you think they'll be able to invent agriculture o

I said nothing about 'should'. Simply history. Ukraine was never a 'country' until briefly in the 20's then the 90's. Ukrainians have been Rus, or Russians, or Ruthenians, etc... for most of their history. Th

To be fair, more often than not, Russia was on the receiving end of invasions. Even when they invaded others, it was often in response to being invaded first. Look at how the Russian empire formed: it was Moscow re-taking all the Kyivan Ru

It's interesting because there's not a lot of Godot 4 game examples out there (Godot 4 being still in Alpha and it has many API changes versus Godot 3). The target audience is indie game developers, not gamers. So linking the re

Yes, I know. In my last corporate gig I was given a laptop with a bunch of MS crap on it. It was far, far worse than my normal setup (Ubuntu + OSS stuff + Google Docs). MS Teams specifically would consume so much memory that eventually o

Considering the pandemic response plunged 100 million people into poverty, many of those excess deaths could be from our response, not the virus.

When they say 'hiring' college graduates they mean interns. Because they do pay interns (rather well I might add). It's not the same as churn of permanent employees.

A lack of evidence doesn't indicate anything. Witness SAC getting shut down. Or the Libor scandal. And many other scandals involving the financial sector. Now, does GS specifically engage in such practices? Maybe, maybe not. But it

Of course the Islamic banking world also has complicated ways to get around this limitation and in practice they do charge interest.
