I touched it once with a stick, when a friend asked me to fix an issue on her personal website. I feel very dirty now.

And probably because of this strategy, by the time their system is successfully deployed in several cities, the technology to make fully self driving has become much more accessible and they can relatively easily add that incrementally.

If that would be the case, I wouldn't have expected them to change it back. I don't think it was that bad of an impact for them, they are already big enough in non-hardcore-open-source communities that they could pull it off and a

To me the story also sounds a bit like GP was a bit impatient and felt a bit ignored while the company was already working on the issue but just didn't respond promptly to per personally.

Well it is kinda blasphemy to swear with evil proprietaryness in a loving FOSS community

Aha yeah true

So isn't Meta then stalking basically... about everyone?

If you want the code to stay free you better add a free software license, that's what these licenses are made for, to preserve the freedom of the code. Otherwise others can take your code and make it propietary and add their propietary

Haha indeed, got it as a last story

What is considered an "active" user? From a lot of people I understand they still have their Xitter account, but aren't engaging much in it anymore, sometimes checking in, but generally on a declining trend.

Wait, if X blocks Y, I'm confused now, who is Y? (Just joking)

Ah ok so if humans would be supervised for their edge cases then humans would actually be safer!

Hehe I guess it greatly depends on the kind of group of people you test it on. There are a lot of people that buy these comfortable e-bikes with fat wheels and big seats, not because they're sporty, but because they're lazy and wa

They should be limited to give assistance up to 25 kph, but many are illegally modified. It is a problem though, so they are working on new regulations for that.

Ah ok, first it is possible within 2 years, and now it is humanity's hardest problem? If it's really that hard I think we better put our resources into something more useful, like new energy solutions, seems we have an energy cris

I wonder, how are you "driving"? Are you sitting behind the wheel doing nothing except watch really good everything the car does so you can take over when needed? Isn't that a stressful experience? Wouldn't it be more co

Something about these two statements seem to be in conflict with each other, but maybe that is just kinda Tesla PR talk.

Just like AGI and the year of the Linux desktop ;P

As I understand, electric cars are more polluting than non-electric, because first of all manufacturing and resources footprint is larger, but also because they are heavier (because of the batteries), the tires wear down much faster, needin

You probably switch back too soon. It's probably largely that you're just used to Chrome, and it takes effort to switch to something that works slightly different. The bugs you are talking about are probably not bugs, but seem lik

It concerns me that these Tesla's can suddenly start acting differently after a software update. Seems like a great target for a cyber attack. Or just a fail from the company. A little bug that is accidentally spread to millions of car

Well yeah there seems to be a corrolation to CO2 and temperature in many studies, and I do certainly believe it is related in some way. But at the same time there are many conflicting study results and I don't think the science on this

Also the first thing I was thinking. The only reason I can see for using JSON Patch is for updating huge arrays. But I never really had such big arrays that I felt the necessity for something like this.

Not everyone, I see a lot of people with civilized, mature, intellectual comments. But yeah strong actions also result in strong emotions in people, so it's not surprising to see a lot of strong reactions.

So in what way is he giving charity to other rich guys? Or do you mean that any OSS dev is giving charity to people making money using that software?
627.

Well isn't that the thing about open-source software, that you can change the code and redistribute it? What is wrong about that? The WP Engine customers can ask WP Engine about that, it has nothing to do with Automattic. Or WP Engine
628.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Well isn't that the deal when you're building a company around an open-source project? It's a bit childish to go after people that are better at making money of your open-source project. Maybe you should then just not go into
629.
by gitaarik 2y ago
What is he right about exactly? And is Automattic providing trademark, infrastructure and moral support to WP Engine? As far as I understand WP Engine is just a WordPress plugin.

They should have open sourced from the start, then such a drama would never have happened. But if you start propietary, become very popular and then open-source, you really have to be careful with what you open-source. It's just how co
