Dynamic libraries have had interface versions and linking strategies for decades. For statically compiled apps, if the version is over specified recompiling will have no effect. The dependent will have to be updated with a new version strin

I’d consider the issue to be the opposite. Why does every programming language now have a package manager and all of the infrastructure around package management rather than rely on the OS package manager? As a user I have to deal with apt,

20 years ago I was working at Accenture and they were giving tax software to states for “free” including cracking down on delinquent or underpaying entities. By “free” I mean they received a percentage of any additional tax revenue they bro

I’m curious what list of arcade games you’re looking at and what metric for biggest. Atari and Midway appear to have 4 of the top grossing arcade games (Ms. Pac Man was made by a US company for Midway). Not to diminish Japan’s influence on

I’ve recently been streaming decompilation on Twitch[0]. I find the intersection of gaming and tech enthusiasts nice (it’s pretty basic educational decomp and describing the mechanics of the game). Ultimately where are people going to watch

That is the analogy unlike to use when people are blinded by “progress”. Sometimes you need to turn around or step on the breaks. I have no issues with Linux for productivity, but gaming is still an issue. :-/

Your last point is rarely discussed and incredibly unfortunate. We’re creating a lower class of citizen who must exist in the shadows, constantly fear being relocated, and can easily be exploited for labor or worse. Then somehow this is pac

The mirror in the example with the washing machine is amazing. Obviously the model doesn’t understand that it’s a mirror so renders it as if it were a window with volume behind the wall. But it does it so realistically that it produces the

Wasn’t this the broken windows philosophy that may or may not have reduced crime in NYC in the mid 90s? It seems like cracking down on low level crime should reduce bigger crimes, but the research seems to become politicized based on who in

So if a business mode is successful, regardless of whether it’s actively thwarted competition or acted anticompetitively, it should be regulated? It’s not the web. It’s not a PC. It’s a sandboxed console. > MO they can either keep the du

As a business owner you can’t tell all of your present and future customers you’re only going to be in Bing results going forward. This isn’t about what an individual chooses to use. Google is effectively the Yellow pages of the internet. I

Credit card companies do one thing - process payments. What cut do VOD or music hosting sites take? Bandcamp takes 15%. eBay takes 15% on things they never physically touch. It’s hard finding hard data, but it seems like YouTube, on average

The concern is if you are developing for the web, how much time do you need to spend appeasing Google to show up in search results and be discoverable. When I was at Amazon the majority of direct product traffic did not come internal search

It’s odd how this is lost on people. Want to develop a game for PlayStation, Sony will need to approve. Want to develop a Facebook app, FB will gatekeep. If you wanted to make apps for the Danger Hiptop, you published through Danger. iOS is

By the time Chrome was released, Google was already a behemoth. I can’t think of another .com that was anywhere near their size. Microsoft was only 2x bigger by market cap. They were hardly a small company that Microsoft could push around a

I agree with everything you said. This isn’t what I would want to plan a route or get my bearings. However, it may be a reasonable logical representation which could have benefits for determine relationships. Logical maps have their place.

I only use tmux on remote machines (because Terminal has all of the features I want and don’t need session management locally). Does anything integrate with remote tmux? It would be great to get native tabs for remote tmux windows.

I wasn’t trying to relate the two directly. The ADL has a list, for example, that many companies that are competitors in different markets use to inflict financial and/or business consequences on those who are added to the list. It wou

This seems like possibly a winning strategy for anyone who is simultaneously deplatformed, debarked, etc. as well. It’s hard to disagree that there are pariahs that you’d not want as customers. On the other hand, I’d much rather live a worl

The last defcon I attended (5 or so years ago) they didn’t pull a rabbit out of the hat and we ended up with lame plastic badges. Obviously badges aren’t everything, but they’re not nothing either.
