This fits with the complete lack of care for ethics and societal awareness from Gary and Paul on down. They just want companies that can succeed by the usual amoral metrics of Silicon Valley (money). Which is entirely their right, but here

Give it time? Just because the CEO hasn’t texted you back in the hours after close of business in Paris doesn’t mean the person is ignoring the issue. What are they supposed to do until business opens tomorrow? It also sounds like you’ve be

Electron. Brent seems to have something else in mind. I think many people would appreciate some other engine+DSL options.

What I said is he was not on the call /directly/. You can argue over whether he was “effectively” on the call because someone was summarizing it for him per what I quoted. I just think it’s worth nothing he was not “on” the call t

Stellar reasoning. Did you ever get to the point of hypothesizing good ways to align incentives to make this happen? It is hard to tell (having not thought much about it) whether this is a “smart well meaning engineers need to make new stan

You seem to misunderstand the word “orthogonal.” Maybe you mean “opposite” or “contradictory.” “Orthogonal” would mean “related to an entirely different topic.”

What? How? Where I am it is endless. Maybe it used to be worse but I have never heard of or seen someone getting a ticket for it or seen a single sign or heard an elected official so much as mention it.

Local time isn’t just a view it gets down into the model. You can’t effectively model “every Tuesday at 4pm until cancelled” as a series of timestamps because it comes with an implied “…regardless of changes to daylight saving rules.” Heck

In that case, would Gripen have been a wise order either? Germany already has Typhoon. There is a history of Typhoon equipped countries ordering f35 because it’s a generation ahead. But Gripen is same generation as Typhoon.

Many formats these days are cleartext. Microsoft Office documents and LibreOffice documents, to name two collections of formats, are both xml based. Not to mention HTML, Latex - the list is long. Markdown is fine but overused, to the point

I would guess this is about middle seats. No one wants them but if you’re part of 2+ party you’re much more likely to take one. The alternative is two aisles side by side but those are tricky to get as the plane fills up.

Kind of funny that the things that time and again save developers, especially expensive US/California based ones, are those they tend to hate - meetings, writing prose, and customer service. Writing code should almost be an afterthough

Even if you’re right about how software packages should work (I tend to agree), whether Flatpak should take on enforcing this model is a whole other question. As far as I know, older packaging systems like dnf/yum and apt allow what Fl

Oh I see. IANAL but if the plan with agpl is to sell commercial versions for people who don’t want to worry about FOSS licensing/infection then it may be a great license for that precisely because of the lack of clarity. You can do sim

This is good not bad. Their improvements are available under MIT license. They would have been fully within their rights to not release and put in a proprietary product but did not do this. Instead everyone can benefit from their improvemen
