Recognizing that the argument can be abused doesn't mean you shouldn't just ignore children alltogether.

402 is not the issue, the issue is having a payment system that wouldn't just add an implicit dependency on some payment service.

And Mumble has published a release, and is preparing a new one.

Somewhat unrelated, but can you explain to me why every small youtuber or github project seems to have a discord server nowadays? Do people really need to talk all the time, with every group of people they interact with?

I've managed to convince my friends to use Mumble just as the pandemic started. The initial suggestion was to use Discord, but I luckly averted that. I think that the wizard and the defaults in general can be improved, but it is not un

I'd say a certain, little pandemic situation might spur interest in improving the FOSS situation when it comes to VOIP.

The great thing is that mumble is a free client with an open protocol, dofferent clients can coexist. To my knowledge this warrents a ban on Discord.

Why is this list using emojis instead of regular markdown? The raw text looks quite bad.

But could it have been communicated more effectivly? Ads have a lot of noise, use tricks and are biased. You can't take them at face value, but require additional effort to extract the relevant and real information.

by daptaq 5y ago
Ads should be replaced by fact sheets, made to objectivly compare products. Instead of advertising agencies, you'd have organisations that compare the greatest number of products, as objectivly as possible. Probably unrealizable, and r

There must be something else, because most of what Rust brings to the table is what functional languages have been providing for ages, just with rebranded names.

FFmpeg was the first example I thought of too, but I don't think that there is a screen large enough to display all it's options and flags.

Yes, it is probably primarily about enforceability, but why should that mean that updating the license is also part of the consideration?

by daptaq 5y ago
AFAIK (one of the) the main reason for the copyright requirements is so that the GNU project can update the license, when a new version of the GPL is released, fixing loopholes or other issues in older versions. I am weary of dropping the c

Sounds to me like internet fora inevitably fail, either suffering under over- or under-regulation. People usually act as though one of the two solutions could fix the problem, but having seen both, I cannot prefer either. The medium is brok

One thing is if you tried out different things and decide to use whatever tools you like, the other thing is seeing people use, eg. vim and just copying it without understanding why. The reason this perplexes me is that so many people end

Go was perfectly usable without an IDE, before gocode broke. And I'd still rather program C without any help than Java.

The issue here is that it is meaningless when viewed locally. GitHub made the mistake of turning "README", a file you'd usually read when you download some code into a website format. A README is broken if lines aren't b

> Java simply feels good to write. A lot of this is due to the craftsmanship JetBrains puts into IntelliJ IDEA The issue with Java is that you need an IDE for it to be usable. That's not an argument for Java itself.

Will this affect people who have started living in Berlin under the rent cap-system? I hope they won't have to move out all of a sudden, facing sudden, higher rents.
