Delivery being costly is a myth propagated by Big Cloud®. Any dollar store VPS that isn't DO will have more than enough for streaming video all day every day. That's irrelevant, though, given the person's question was about s

I'm definitely not the right person to ask, but: Archival/storage of video shouldn't be that costly. With 5400rpm drives (better for archival than more or less any other type of storage media, including faster hard drives), i

That's not entirely true. launchd was released under a free license, and it was one of the most interesting innovations in software in a long while, for example.

I don't disagree with you, but your comment was worded in a way that implied you thought it was source-available. Frankly, Apple probably doesn't care how many people learn Swift. Playgrounds is aimed at children, who don't y

This was done in the span of a few hours, and was committed to sr.ht using itself. Drew even livestreamed the whole thing, but I don't think he's uploaded it to a PeerTube instance yet.

Playgrounds isn't free software, and for that matter isn't even source-available.

Apple doesn't release code under Free licenses for marketing purposes: I'd be surprised if anyone in the marketing department of Apple even realized that they were doing so.

Correct, but flat design is objectively simpler than skeuomorphism. I don't even mind skeuomorphism, I quite like it, but it's just bullheaded-error that has people claiming that it's simpler than flat design. Complexity is

I don't disagree that complexity can be good! I was just correcting the "longing for that simplicity" statement, which was incorrect.

Flat design is more simple than skeuomorphism, almost by definition. What you seem to want is complexity.

reddit's modern userbase is really interesting. There are some incredibly interesting people who use it, but you also find a bunch of accounts that are under a year old with lines like this: Please don't. I would like to see you

Yeah it was, you seem to be mistaken: http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/4th_edition/papers/comp To make it easier to share code with other systems, Plan 9 has a version of the compiler, pcc, that provides the stan

PCC was at one time basically the standard C compiler, and you can port it to just about any architecture you want in less than a day. It also shipped with many historic operating systems, Plan 9 from Bell Laboratories being one of them, if
