I think open source has come to mean for many people /no strings-attached/, as in "I can use it in my startup however I care." AGPL is not just open source but closer to a free software ideal, where proprietary services

Just a few days ago by chance I was searching my notes for the word 'magma' (for unrelated reasons) and it matched an article by The New Yorker on Ithkul that I had saved years before, which mentions a french progrock band called

I'm pretty sure a bunch of old realms having long time land disputes and family feuds and ethnic disavowals for over a thousand years is different from an industrial military complex that keeps conjuring up wars for oil and to keep its

Doesn't it brush dangerously with schizophrenia, though? Given that anxiety and stress are common factors leading a person under risk into losing sanity, I feel that something like this could backfire and drag someone over the edge. Bu

Having both MINOR and PATCH to mean non-breaking changes really seems excessive and based on very large waterfall-based software projects, because for most open source development it's completely arbitrary whether to bump patch or mino

For nothing? So something that is used only temporarily is worthless? If you didn't have to write boilerplate or your own functional library because underscore existed at some point, you had a net gain in productivity and was able to r

Why is it not the right place? Why do people even have to update underscore--just keep with the older version. They also have a mostly drop-in replacement in lodash (well, last I've seen, at least). So I think it's a perfectly goo

A jolt of brief happiness, not unlike that produced by a sugar spike, may not be all healthy. It's addictive and conditions you to procure instant rewards more, at the expense of delaying gratification which is essential for having som

If you extrapolate this notion, which is something I have done and find an interesting theory, then consciousness is really a moment's event, like a processor's tick. Every tick you sense things, retrieve things from memory, and s

I can see it going the other way around depending on the emphasis of the narrative. For example, if I were to say "Oh, it was a big, red barn", that sounds wrong, because "red" isn't something you'd usually emp

I'd also recommend The Art of Memory, which is not only an introduction to the classic discipline of method of loci (memory theatres) and a great book dealing with history and art of the Renaissance, it even goes over the text of Ad He

I think you neglect to consider that not all people are success-minded, that some, even given all the good influence and knowledge and skills, would rather not use that to pursue things that are usually defined as success--except for the ve

Carrying your own offspring is not the same as being employed to carry weight all day (and not necessarily because you really like that profession.) The regulation is in place to protect the worker, be it from the employer or those who don&

These basal, fundamental flaws in the educational system give me pause to awe, and a gut feeling the US is gonna get trampled many times over by the likes of China within some decades. So little regulation and such harsh capitalism is eatin

I didn't downvote you, and I can see where you're coming from, but really, "a problem they created?" People could take care of their children alright if they could have a trade that took them, say, 5 hours a day and boug

I think that's a bit of a strawman--though I agree with your sentiment--because to be a "grandfather" of something assumes you've had an influence on the next generations. And in this case, yes, you gotta stand out (not

It's not really transparency when what they have on you is far more extensive than what they show you. I'd say Google is for control as much as Apple, I'll concede openness vs. privacy which both sound like something spouted

Exactly. What the grand parent commenter doesn't understand is that even though he wants to work his ass off to emulate a lifestyle of the aristocracy (who don't have to work their asses off as much because they're rent-seeke

That's fascinating! I have ofttimes felt the urge to learn a good video editing workflow as a hobby (though haven't as of yet gotten around to it), and I'd never have known of this heaven-and-hell difference without experienc

After switching from Vim to Emacs (but keeping my hardcore modal editing muscle habits through evil-mode), I realized why most hardcore Emacs users have never felt the need for this raw composability of commands and motions (which I love):

If you're asking about ergonomics overall, I'd say Vim, definitely. Though a lot in both cases can be mitigated with useful remappings (use Caps Lock as Ctrl, or as Esc! Or as both! https://github.com/alols/xc

Off the top of my head, I'd say it has breaking changes such as changing push.default's default setting to only your current branch, as opposed to pushing all branches when you do a 'git push'. Git cli has been warning m
