I should probably added a few irony tags here, the "kill switch" picture was just meant to exaggerate what seems to be the primary concern going around. So to add two things to clarify: personally I do not see any of this as good&

With there being so much talk how Microsoft is reformed/reforming, I do not really see the change at all. Microsoft always was about developers and getting them into their ecosystem and I do not think this is evil. It's business.

See Wikipedia, Linux Foundation, etc. We all are in some way, and we all should. Or we start treating parts of the internet which everyone uses like water, streets.

Neither of these, been in both situations. I just am kind of ashamed for us as developers that we can not manage to band together and solve the task. That is what is really troubling.

While this is totally an awesome move in terms of marketing... Why doesn't the Open Source community actually band up and make a Github alternative that is actually good and free for Open Source? Considering that public Git services ar

I'm wondering what this will mean for Atom and VS Code. Wondering if MS will continue supporting that, considering that VS Code seems to be a more pleasant experience at this point.

... until the day arrives when a huge company buys out GitLab. Hosting your precious code is always an issue, and doing it yourself with something like https://gitea.io/ is cheaper than Github etc. on a small VPS or even a

Considering GDPR is actually a thing from 2016, and 25th May only marked the day from which on it would actively be enforced... that kind of comes late. What I wonder: this is an Open Source project, so why not ask the community for help in

From experience with using carriers tracking information world-wide: scraping will be fine for low volume usage and if we are talking personal use cases. If this has any professional smell (as in you make money with whatever you use the dat

I dare to say the right question to ask is a different one: When does something officially become recognised infrastructure? Streets, power supply, water, and now we are actually facing the question if the internet should be part of the def

Paper notebooks are great since writing down tasks turns them into something real because of the haptic feedback from touching paper. Note apps, task apps, etc. all can not handle to that considering the brain simply considers things with h

IMHO Slack should be used only as informal communication tool. Neither Slack nor Discord or others facilitate the most important part: long-term result from communication. Why? People are used to WhatsApp, FB Messenger, etc. and chat these

Even when working in closed source environments there is some open source project you will use. Liked it? Disliked it? Go to github, check their issue list. Most projects have beginner picks, grab one, solve it. Invest 30 minutes a week, an

In most legislations, a brand is considered a "legal person". (which is hilarious when you register your company as forms kind of treat the company as if it were a person)

Isn't that kind of expected? The rate of real users pretty much matches the rate of real users on websites. Would also be interesting to run similar analysis in FB, I'd expect similar rates here.

You are aware that this does not make sense, since to do business with people from other countries you already have to comply with their laws in terms of taxes and accounting anyway. Selling to EU customers as US business already requires y

It is much more common than decent code that just lets you iterate and implement good stuff. Also the lesson to take away: code like this is everywhere and often it powers the things you really do not want to be run by something like that.

Be a little more relaxed about this. Legacy code often looks like a big elephant which needs lots of fixes. Look to the tiny things instead: - just make the function / class you're working on nicer, preferably just a small functio

I would very much say: any form of social media and news should not be mixed. Social media is basically attention whoring for everyone these days, truth or value does not matter much in that regard.

^ using social media as trustworthy news source is troubling IMHO. That could only work if social media was under the same legal regulation as press is. But user ranking is basically FB saying "no, no. We don't do news, that'

Why not remove anything except from social interaction from FB instead of this? IMHO anything on FB beyond connecting with people is worthless anyway and mostly driven by bots and not people these days.

It is human nature. We all grow up and regret mistakes. Most often in public for the sake of showing how we have grown.
