Dropbox won't analyse and sell you left and right. You cannot compare these two services. One is a service, one is an ad machine.

Imo github has the much better user interface. I wouldn't say gl became bloated, but it is not easy to navigate around. At one point, I think, it is necessary to 'rethink' the UI, i.e. to arrange the parts into one consistent

I agree somewhat. But Microsoft (or any company) cannot support a product for years without revenue. As an example I bought Win8 (unusable), free upgrade 8.1 (still terrible), free upgrades 10 (better, but still prefer mac/ubuntu). As

You have the priorities wrong imho: There is one checkbox to switch off the ad vs. Google's data mining where Google aggregates a full profile about you and some billion other people. And (except china-like) there is no simple

I almost didn't read to the end (got annoyed). Isn't it wonderful that 'Linux' is able to be friends with companies and welcome them? So many slanderous remarks, 'you can abuse Linux', 'the Linux Foundatio

No sarcasm intended. The op chooses to use uber and profit from low cost fares. He pays little and uber is only able to pay out meagre to their drivers. Uber is not profitable, they cannot pay their drivers better without raising the fares.

by chappi42 10y ago
In the end you are the reason that uber drivers are being paid so little and have such bad working conditions! Btw, couldn't you ride a bike sometimes? 6 miles sounds doable and would, likely, benefit your health.

Rename .zip to .zpi or .izp or pzi, ... then it works. With less than useful I agree (switched to fastmail...)

Well then Mozilla better would spend their resources more wisely and refrain from political influenced decisions, e.g. Thunderbird, FirefoxOS, Brendan Eich. Mozilla/Firefox lost much respect from me (not that they will or should care;)

Julia is mostly (> 65 %) written in Julia. There's some C (20 %, bootstrap etc.), some C++ (8 % llvm interface), some scheme (4 %, parser). I think it's one of the main points, that Julia should be strong enough that such thing

Not concerned at all. It's great. It's a modern, fresh, honest approach. The only concern would be if an ad company like Google or Facebook would buy them. Hope this never happens and they stay independent (but very successful an

No traction because it's a mess. No git, no markdown, no clear organization, dated look in almost everything. Very unuserfriedly to just 'hop in'. No money unfortunately and most (all?) devs do it in their sparetime. Splitted

Sorry, but the harsh reality is that data (models) not always work. Especially for complex things. Remember 'The Limits to Growth'? His videos are certainly well made. Motion Charts let you visualize/see numbers nicely and he

Nice <3 On the opposite number side, I hope they can help to find ways to reduce the population growth. It is unsustainable, especially in Africa and Arabic countries. (Pity one cannot just implement a China-like one child policy:))

I don't think this is a fair assessment. Before forking an attempt has been made 'to make vim' better. It's open source thus imho all is well if there are two source trees with different 'philosophies' (one &#x

There is an answer in the video at 1:06:11. "In some way it's actually nice to have competitor [he is speaking about Neovim] and Emacs has disappeared, so.. [I think, he smiles at this point]".

Quite schizophrenic of the company to open up every information/book/news they can crawl and on the other hand close down the little interior world as much as possible. Not that this would be news or unexpected though.

It's a joy to read such a polite newsletter. Friendly towards to original source. Friendly and open as a community. Everythings seems well organized and distributed. Well done! Also thanks a lot for the tool, I use neovim almost daily.

If something is called 'Ubuntu', I expect Ubuntu to be inside and not some (heavily) modified code. Wouldn't want my own open source software to be associated with a (maybe faulty) derivative either.
