Yes, I was experiencing deja-vu for half a good half paragraph before checking the date.

No, I mean, if the "users" are on the other end of a socket and never receive any copy of the sofware (in any form) then they don't get the entitlement to the software in code form either. It's the problem AGPL was desig

And only if their users receive a copy of the software in the process of using it. Source: Myself, who slings lots of technically-GPLed proprietary code in the form of network-accessible software like websites so never sees the light of da

And the CarPlay/Android auto head unit (so you don't have to deal with their junk navigation) only comes in the "old money" (new money) model with wood details, analog clock... they may as well add wing back chairs and a

I do ask that... Why is it inherently moral for me to get a certain benefit vs someone else, why would that change depending on where I am or where they are, where I'm from or where they are from?

Where the opposite conclusion would actually make sense... right? "Lots of people have succeeded with Brand A, but we failed... so I guess it must our fault."

I haven't been following OpenStack closely enough to understand the way you feel that it's gone or what I assume is an implication that it failed to work (in which sense?).

Why wouldn't/couldn't this thing just disambiguate colorspace the same way it does rotation/position with predefined locator patterns?

Not exactly. Transactional CRUD (post a form, submit an email, add to cart) is pretty well adopted and standardized as HTTP, so probably use that (even backend to backend, if the contract fits CRUD resource semantics). RPC (non-CRUD interac

> poor... immigrants who don't necessarily speak English This is, sadly, sufficient reason for many to fail to sympathize with them and, remarkably, do so aloud in public with only the thinnest cloaks of pretense.

This sense of simplicity is certainly lacking. Seems like you should be able to say "new values of y are entered by users, x is the sum of all y, z = 2x, every night text me the value of z" and compile that to a cross-platform nat

Man, I want an X220 with newer gen chip in it. The new usb-c side dock solution, worse keyboards, and the ultrabook form factor's thermal properties...

They didn't really have a choice, PHP runtime versions have aggressive EOL dates these days.

"Seemless calls", so my calls won't seem? Seem to be what? What would it mean for something to be seemful? Edit: I know it's a typo, but I figured it's a door to somewhat interesting line of linguistic thought. You

To comment a bit on the introductory topic (interface design vs. graphic design), for a while there around when this was published, it seemed like we were going to finally understand the difference between UI design and graphic design, and

Games, like music, culinary and other arts have greater-than-background levels of competition because many are drawn to them by artistic motives.

Yep. Source: had to navigate the shitty position of trying to CNAME to a CDN and have that CDN's DNS infra replicate our e.g. MX records.

I've been wandering from job to job looking for these folks to learn from and have failed so far. Nobody seems to be able to think even two steps ahead, often fail to think one step ahead sufficiently to answer "why" question

It's not mass production that causes this though, it's the constraints (the things that make the process "design" instead of "art") that come from how they are used -- and while some of those have solidified in

You're cornered into a kickstarter-esque model of selling one big expensive copy to "everyone" -- and maybe cathedral style development where you do the same thing over and over again on some release cycle.

Not sure why this wouldn't devolve into the same two party game theory you get with FPTP -- Vote for Greater Evil with a runoff to Actual Satan vs Lesser Evil with runoff to Milquetoast Sockpuppet.

How many examples of the extreme ends of a spectrum have you heard? Of course not everyone is Iron Mountain.

Because you're stepping down on the spectrum of "vault with a mantrap, several factors of authentication and 24/7 posted security" down toward "fence and a padlock"?

How can you achieve reuse (DRY) with this? Every time I have a button, if I want my buttons to be consistent and have a single place to change them, I have to like invoke a button partial that just outputs my <a> with 20 classes on it

I'm with him, though I maybe don't agree with the assumed tone about it. Precisely what surprising thing went from being assumed non-possible to known possible through these folks' efforts? This paper is pointing out that if

Superresolution can only process information that's even there in the first place -- it might be trained and aware of faces enough to produce a face from very low resolution, but it won't be an accurate identifiable face, it'

What I don't get is why these conversations try to pretend that "best practice" is a single point, making huge implicit assumptions about the skill level and practices of the host organizations... Things which almost always h

Even if you do have magic scripts and understanding for every possible scenario, you still have to deal with getting woken up to ascertain which scenario(s) you are in and run them.
