Wait for what exactly?

Of course $20 doesn't get you a bug fix, it costs a few orders of magnitude more to actually implement it. For an open source project, consider what it would cost to hire a contractor to implement the fix and get it to a state where th

Defaulting has a cost though. If you default on your car loan, how likely is it that you're getting a loan for the next car? What kind of interest rate are you going to get?

So if the only reason people use Chrome is that it comes pre-installed on Android, it shouldn't matter if it's allowed on iOS right? Most people would keep using the pre-installed Safari right?

Morality is subjective. Why should courts be able to overrule the population's wishes?

Addicts are going to die in the steet if it's regulated and legal too. I'm not sure you understand what heroin addiction does to people.

by ahtihn 5y ago
Meh decriminalize possession and consumption, sure. I don't think something like heroin should be easily available though.

Closed source products are really well known for investing in security and keeping tech debt to a minimum. This is why no commercial closed source product depended on something like log4j without thouroughly auditing it first. Oh wait...

Try looking into why these investments have higher returns than a bank account. The risk profile isn't the same at all. If you want returns in traditional finance, you don't stick money in a bank account. You buy bonds and/or

What's the public benefit of letting him play? Letting everyone know that the rich and famous are above the rules?

Is that work somehow less scalable when done in Germany?

by ahtihn 5y ago
Most of the people who can go to Germany can easily go to Switzerland as well where salaries are much, much higher.

Nah, open source software is "use at your own risk" and there's 0 guarantee for anything. All responsibility lies with the user. If you don't like that responsibility, don't use open source software without reviewin

I don't know, "act like I'm "working" for the rest of that time" sure sounds like there's intentional deception for financial gain.

The problem is that small changes are barely worth reviewing. Also a series of small changes can obfuscate the larger context of all those changes. Each small change on its own might make sense and be ok to a reviewer, but if you step back

So you're saying the only reason that Chrome isn't more dominant is that some consumers cannot use it because of Apple and somehow that's a good thing? If iOS users would switch to Chrome if given the chance, isn't that

Why so personal and agressive? In my opinion it would be better to have normal energy prices and simply redistribute the money. At least it would give an incentive to use energy more efficiently

by ahtihn 5y ago
How come the government can afford to subsidize energy if the economy can't sustain paying the "true" price for it? Where is the money coming from?

How is that different to what they're doing with browsers? Last time I checked, you can't ship your own browser/js engine on iOS

Compiling and running the code is handled by a build server and automated tests. That's not the point of code reviews. The main purpose of code reviews is checking the general structure of the code and tests. Is the code well designed?
443.
by ahtihn 5y ago
If code reviews aren't an expected part of the development process and there's pressure on delivering, it won't happen.

The more high profile cases of antivax deaths due to covid the better. It will help public perception that the vaccine is useful and may convince skeptics. And for every antivax death, we get closer to 100% vaccination rate and finally get

Holding isn't demand. Holding just reduces supply. Miners need to sell BTC to cover their operating costs, so there's constant sell pressure. To maintain the same price, you need equivalent buy pressure. Hence the need for "a

Just load the state's public key into the verification apps, have the identity QR code be signed with the state's private key and you're done. You can now verify identities without the state ever being aware of verifications
