The article I linked in my original comment goes into a bit more detail and is aimed at the layman, but it's a bit more in depth than a comment you can make in a conversation.

My layman explanation is: You have to take your choice of VPN seriously. When you use a VPN, they can read all of your internet traffic, so choose a company you can trust with that information. If they screw up, like NordVPN did, then an

NordVPN is being recommended a lot to people who don't know better by influencers on social media, especially on YouTube. This kind of endorsement is recklessly negligent and needs to stop. https://drewdevault.com/2019&

If you read this as a guide for how to do email marketing (which the authors, an email marketing company, clearly want you to do), then you're part of the problem. These regulations don't exist for you to edge up to the line and s

Also, Vulkan is quickly becoming the lingua franca of graphics APIs. Vulkan can be implemented on top of Metal, which means that developers have next to no reason to implement Metal directly.

Hiya! I don't usually submit the monthly updates to avoid flooding HN with spam, but this one is special. Many thanks to the HN community which continues to help Sourcehut become successful!

Could you use this to make a Go REPL?

by Sir_Cmpwn 7y ago
Yeah, that would be wise.

Heh, I was just trying to do the same: https://sr.ht/O2oy.png Ben: you can fix this by adding -monitor none to your qemu command line.

Yeah, I also have a HiFive Unleashed which is totally open, but it doesn't really aim to compete with Raptor iiuc. Until recently it also won out on open ISA, too, and the Blackbird has to be bootstrapped by the ARM BMC - which is a no

Yes, I meant threads. Thanks for catching that.

What's the I/O situation? I did my build from an HDD, WD Blue. Also, kernel config matters a lot - I used yesterday's master branch from Linus, with Alpine Linux 3.10's ppc64le config, plus olddefconfig to catch it up.

Not a dumb question. https://sourcehut.org should tell you what you need to know. If you have any specific questions, I can answer them.

I didn't say you screwed them over. I said you take their patch and use it to create value that you deny to the contributor. I'm not weaseling words here. Some contributors will be okay with that. But some won't be - and you&

by Sir_Cmpwn 7y ago
You're asking for more of contributors than you give back to them. You ask them for their work but then you and you alone reap all of the financial benfits.

It's no skin off my back when someone makes non-OSS/nonfree software. I won't use it, but that's a choice they can make. It doesn't bother me that you or anyone else would want to contribute to such a project, eithe

What you described doesn't seem to be related to looking for "what kind of open source" it is, but what kind of software it is in general. Just because it's on Github has no bearing on what kind of software it is. Take t

And I question why you disagree with that definition. Can you explain?

Clearly stated by one organization whose definition has been universally endorsed. You can't put up a lemonade stand, sell people jars of piss, and then claim that you thought piss was a kind of lemonade. You certainly can't keep

by Sir_Cmpwn 7y ago
Yes. The definition is clearly stated. I don't believe that someone can't be mistaken or ignorant, and I don't blame them for this - but once corrected, their tune needs to change. Less than that constitutes an attack on open

My definition of open source is the definition of open source. This is a fact . If you are gaslighting people to believe otherwise you are an enemy of the open source community.

You cannot disagree about facts. "Open source" is well defined, the author knows about it, and they're lying about their software's qualifications for it to deliberately mislead users and make themselves more money.
