I feel like Valve has certainly been putting effort into Linux, but not serious effort. They seem to be going low-moderate risk/investment. Sure there's progress, but then the Wine devs are moving pretty steadily too at the mom

I think there is a lot of Brinkmanship and chest beating going on at the moment. I also think things like making one's term indefinite and cracking down on the populace is actually more likely to encourage a 'challenger' to

This to me indicates that it is recruitment companies applying these metrics (3y+, 5y+, 10y+) as a standard for job ads and companies just go with it. I.e. 3y+ is just a shortcut way to sort CV's, not a requirement.

I guess the major 'problem' is that (at least the media representation) most of the effort in GMO is not going into products being more healthy, but towards increasing yield. Put in that light it's immediately obvious the fir

Exactly, Apple just doesn't need ads because of their physical product and brand strength. If you rely on ads, what actual value are you (or could you be) providing that you're not charging for. And then, why not, why choose

I personally think there two issues here: a) Expectations of 'Entry-level' actually being greater than 'junior/apprentice' b) Mentors not part of the role Both of these issues have arisen from a lack of willingness

You're comparing Apples to oranges (I'm sorry) Apple doesn't have a social network. They also don't rely on advertising and 3rd party data brokering. It's easy for Apple to be the 'good guys' here when th

Of course they are, and up till now they didn't even need to be shy about it. Let's hope things change this time Start here: http://www.internetremoval.com/directory/

I wonder if something useful here is a service like what some NASes (Synology) provide, where you 'self-host' on your PC/NAS, but also replicate to someone you know's PC/NAS. Basically, install the app on both PCs,

The biggest reason I can see now based on current rhetoric, is that it's a trap. Once in, you can't get out, even if you want to. That doesn't even factor privacy or advertising or whatever, it's purely that you are a

Things like this are what might actually turn the trending #deletefacebook statements into actions. Maybe. While it's nice that 'alternative Facebooks' are gaining visibility, those I don't think will really get people

That's the thing though, these are private companies at the end of the day and can censor whatever they like. That'll reflect on their brand and perception, but that's their choice. It's changing because they're tr

I'm very much an amateur but Krita is a great piece of software for me and does everything I need so far, for free. Much easier to use than GIMP, seems quite comparable to Photoshop and the development is going strong. It's also

Yeah but the car has IR/LIDAR does it not? Low light should not be a problem there. I would expect if IR/LIDAR are working properly the car would see the pedestrian as if broad, bright daylight, so why no reaction at all?

Thanks for the explanations. On the transaction front, what about share trading activity based on Value statements or actions that impact Brand/Goodwill etc? Though the sale of shares is a future transaction, a company could reasonab

You make it sound like it's just a little check box that either means data everywhere or not. There's a lot more to it than that.

Aren't intangibles exactly that, though perhaps a little broader than specifying particular moral behaviours? Goodwill, Brand (which contains value statements), IP, etc, they're given financial value. Perhaps these don't inf

There's also probably a portion of managers that cause the crunch by being incompetent up front. Not managing scope, escalations, resourcing, decisions etc leads to tight deadlines and 'sudden' urgency to meet earlier expe

You mean you left Linux for .Net. Visual Studio is just an IDE and C++ is cross-platform last I checked. You appear to be speaking on behalf of all/Windows developers. Perhaps not 'most' think that way? What is your eviden

This is exactly the problem. Gamers are paying for Windows, just to play games, because the free options aren't usable, because of DX. They're not choosing Windows because it does X or Y better or because it's a consciously

Sometimes I just wish Valve* would pop up and announce: 'oh so HL3 is coming out soon, and it will be a Steam Linux exclusive for the first 6 months.' While not likely, something like that would be a really interesting gauge of h

Same here, except all the newer games I probably would like to add to my library but can't because Win/DX only... Nouveau is still problematic because of the lack of access to the NVIDIA proprietary code, i.e. the extra bits like

Good on him/her/them. It would be really nice if more wealthy people donated to the Open source world, to organisations like the EFF and mental health organisations etc (without strings attached...).

Same. Most of the tech seems to not relate to actual blockchain use and instead talks about 'temporary authorisation of access' and data logging. If someone does understand what Porsche is doing here with blockchain, please trans

Year of the catastrophe. It seems there keeps being warnings that the big happy run of things is not eternal, but these are ignored once any 'hiccup' goes away. Perhaps war, perhaps market collapse (led by Bitcoin?), perhaps super
