It's open source meets the real world. We aren't all hippies who can sit around at MIT.

Amazon patented 1 click checkout.

meh, amazon sues over the patents and gets them tossed out then introduces a compatible API anyway. You can't beat Amazon. You can't beat google. You can't beat Microsoft.

FOSS devs have the same bills as anyone else.

by anth_anm 8y ago
Hot take, the future of open source is just massive companies sponsoring projects to get free dev hours. You can try to fight it, but if Amazon wants your project they will either take the code or build a compatible API. There is no defense

For acceleration. That's 1 part of driving, it's just the part Tesla chosen to highlight because it's where electric cars have an advantage. They are also heavier and tend to overheat if pushed. Even in a 1/4 mile the Te

The I-Pace competitor would be the model X. It also starts at double the listed price of the Model 3. I'd rather have an I-pace.

Google learned from Microsoft's mistake. You pay your bribes or the justice department comes knocking. Google made antitrust investigations just vanish into thin air.

Google is effectively has monopolies on search and online advertising. They should be broken up.

Their argument is based on a very privileged person who had every option and chose the one he liked best. That's great. Good for him. But my concern is that people get pushed towards trades for a variety of bad reasons. It's not t

Is this based on the same JS code editor as VS Code?

Thread finishes work grabs lock writes to file writes to index releases lock That's not a race condition. The output order doesn't matter, but it is nondeterministic.

by anth_anm 8y ago
Right, that's not a bit for bit reproducible builds. Think of it as absent a cache I should get bit for bit identical out (perhaps ignoring logs and such).

I can do a build off of year old code. Would you rather you get a timestamp embedded that tells you it was built today, or take the hash and be able to find the exact revision.
148.
by anth_anm 8y ago
Knowing when something was built is more useful than having better verification of exactly what code went in? Besides, it's a deterministic build. You can use a lookup table with the hash to find out exactly what revision it is.

by anth_anm 8y ago
You fix the tools so that they work properly. You modify the compiler to always produce deterministic output (e.g. dummy timestamps).

by anth_anm 8y ago
what if you have a multi-threaded backend to the compiler that happens to lay down data in different orders?
