I still can't believe that they decided that the best use of their money to fund "open source" was just to give everyone Magma licenses. I hope they reconsider that choice some day. Also, what is Fateman's problem? His c

"Nobody really understands git" is the truest part of that. While hyperbolic, it really has a lot of truth. It's always a bit frustrating when working with a team because everyone understands a different part of git and has s

I don't think the situation is comparable when you're both the dealer and the product.

I've often seen sex workers object to that sort of thing online. They really don't want their clients to face any obstacle at all. People often advocate for checking the sexual health of the sellers, but you never hear about the s

Yeah, me too. It's hard to know what to believe. The thing is, those engaged in commercial sex have a vested interest in defending deregulation of all parts of it: that way they make more money. If you were to try to pass legislation t

No Postgres support yet? But there's an ORM! I wonder how easy it would be to make the ORM use Postgres instead of MySQL.

Was Sage Sharp previously known as Sarah? Did they transition? I just want to know if it's the same person. It would be a big coincidence if they were not.

And the software isn't just rendering the forums. It also simultaneously handles email, Usenet, and IRC relays. Also, it runs on SQLite. I found that the most surprising of all. Web development in D is incredibly fun. I love that I can

Sure, there's plenty of evidence that the attitude to share code existed and that in the beginning nobody even thought you could copyright software. But calling it "open source" is a relatively recent thing.

This reminds me a bit of my `hg wip` command: http://jordi.inversethought.com/blog/customising-mercurial-l... It eventually got mainlined into Mercurial as the `hg show` command: https://www.mercurial-scm.or

> Back in the days of USENET, any code that was posted to groups like comp.lang.c was considered 'open source' If this were true, you should be able to find many Usenet postings that use this term to describe the software. We h

I think you already answered, in a way. When they called the same software by a different name, you stopped thinking that money was disallowed. You repeated that you (only?) think about what is good for business. So, yeah, OSI's rebran

And what about now, how do you think that open source is good for business in ways free software is not? I think the majority opinion, judging by the likes of gitlab, is to use some or a lot of open source to entice people to pay you for pl

An amazing amount of people forget what this was like and think that we've always had "open source", whatever it was called. Many will vehemently argue against the OSI definition of open source, despite them coining the term,

You weren't kidding about D. It looks like just this week someone released some D bindings for Godot. Exciting! I really like D, and I am curious to try gamedev in D. https://code.dlang.org/packages/godot-d

It's not technically open source if it's merely visible. It's only technically open source if you explicitly license it to be so.
