You don’t agree? A more substantial comment would be informative. Can you give us one example of a stellar open source UI you use daily?

Erm… a lot of the “pushing the boundaries” of technology happens at the foundries in South Asia, and equipment providers in the Netherlands.

Communicating efficiently does not mean “ignoring the humanity of employees”. These are not exclusive. You’ll often see “big important emails” by Jobs, Zuckerberg and other figures being circled around. These use written word for a reason.

What’s your field of work? In tech, it’s often much better to resolve and discuss things in writing. It gives everyone time to think. There are technical details to work out, and getting a clear picture of things is easier when you have t

Interesting crowd this kind of post brings out. No, ivermectin is not being “smeared”. It is not an anti-viral and makes no sense to use against COVID-19. Nearly every report of its use links back to this Buffalo article, and there is no pu

This guy clearly does not read the news. He thinks the pandemic did not have much impact on the economy. He reads right wing economists. He was upset Trump was painted as dangerous. Is this supposed to be an example of being “free from th

Nobody is actually asking them to support anything. And they “refused” a fork (which is pointless as nothing stops one from happening). They seem to want to hold some control over their software that is against the usual rules of the game f

I was answering to “you should be happy you’re getting anything at all”. That’s not a healthy perspective for anyone.

That’s not really the spirit of open source. Sharing, not charity. This is about taking something that already existed and repurposing it for a commercial venture.

Facebook, the product, did not use React until very very recently. Do you use FB? If Facebook’s interface represents the “UI leaders of the world” we’re in troubled waters!

“Selecting for intelligence”. You have the answer under your nose and can’t see it. You’re not selecting for “intelligence” when the barriers that were in place for 200 years are what define it.

There are extensive records[1] available, average wage in the 1700s was about $20/week, highest up to $250/week. That translates to a range of $1200 - $15000 / week in today’s dollars according to the value chart. A pair of s

That’s solved by writing good commit messages from the start. Commiting junk or WIP is an easily fixable culture problem.

Exactly. The largest homes around here are barely above 200sqm, and cost 2-3 million. Most houses have two or three floors though.

And what does that have to do with anything? The USA would need 3 billion citizens to rival the density of the Netherlands. Or are you implying you need a 500sqm house to raise two kids?

Oil is also an energy storage medium, but I don’t think that distinction matters at all here.

I had to laugh at “the most dense development”. 400sqm is absolute luxury in Europe, and plenty of space for a massive detached house with a garden and garage. A house on the high end here sits on less than 150m2 (northern europe).

First and foremost, hydrogen production needs to be moved to renewable power. At current production levels it generates almost a billion tones of CO2 annually already. And then, total efficiency for hydrogen fuel is much lower than batte

Svelte by its nature only generates JS for the dynamic pieces of the page, if you’re using SSR it’s already “partially hydrated”. Vue3 can also ignore static parts which gives similar benefits.

Not sure what’s the point you are trying to make here. If you’re being hired (and flown) to extend the software it’s a consulting gig and not a “asking for a donation” situation, and you should quote accordingly. This is one of the traditio

Have you tried to convert those requests into one-off sponsorships to develop the feature they need? Sounds like a win-win. From my experience with procurement you just need a high enough number to make it worth their time.

Patch-perfect commits are an idealistic goal. The truth is that, as already mentioned, many of those typos and “dirty” commits can be the source of bugs that you’re looking for. Hiding them hides the history.

I’ll refrain from commenting on the first point - you already accused me of “bias and reactivity” and now that I asked you to flesh out your thoughts you turn to personal attacks, just like you did with the author. That’s something to refle

I guess you’re not on Twitter much? Mobs are an almost daily occurrence in my feed. What are the lies? Where is your challenge of them? So far you’ve only tried to directly discredit the author and not offered any counterpoints.

I was commenting exactly on that. You think having every commit build, at the cost of destroying history, is gaining something. I think representing history correctly is best, and agree that “squashing buys you next to nothing” other than v
