The main difference was it wasn't web development, so the whole process was much more contained. There was usually a smaller foot print of "just your app", so things like configuration or debugging was much easier. The tools

i find it interesting that the title is "a baby boom among US Women". Why would women be called out here? Why wouldn't it just be a baby boom, or a baby boom among US parents? Once again, giving women sole responsibility and

Honest question. Do people consider css a programming language?

https://search.maven.org/ is doing the same thing. The new interface is much prettier, full of padding and space, and so much more unusable.

Chromium is open source. Sorry, let me be more clear, no closed-source company of any significance is going to use LGPL.
247.
by mbfg 4y ago
No company of any significance would ever use it, for licensing issues. Now that is totally the choice of ffmpeg, and they are more that free to chose it. They may believe in the "all software should be free mantra", and again, t

Totally their choice of course, and sorry for my luck, but it's LGPL.

Asking questions that are claims and demanding yes/no answers is irrational. The valid form is how courts work, you make a claim, and then either agree with the claim or disagree with claim. So valid answers are yes, and not convinced

The idea of farming is very alluring, Be your own boss, live a healthy lifestyle with family, produce something very useful for society. The reality of farming is that of a death trap. Brutal work, low pay, total imprisonment. (Except poten

one would assume substantial remote work would be slightly better for the planet, as well.

by mbfg 4y ago
Wouldn't this make hiring foreign (remote) workers more appealing to US companies, and so being worse for US workers? (At least middle/upper middle workers)?

Tell me how that argument is qualitatively different for arguing against gig workers rights? Again if you want to argue it's quantitatively different, then fine. Then it's just a discussion on how low is too low. But the arguments

by mbfg 4y ago
I assume those who decry this effort to regulate gig companies, are against minimum wage, and against setting minimum working conditions, as well. Clearly no one would need to take a job if these safety nets weren't there, and would th

Scala doesn't care about backwards compatibility. They break stuff all the time, And so major libraries are tenuously hanging on to whatever version they were targeted at. Akka prints out messages if it finds jars with even different

by mbfg 4y ago
One thing is Scala plays fast and loose with backwards compatibility. So much so that akka actually prints out messages if they find jars with different versions. It's a pain in the arse.

i am rewritting all of our projects (about 20 or so) to get off akka as we speak. Pain in the arse, but has to be done. It's a shame. Was fun while it lasted.

I think IDEs killed UML. You can look at a model and understand a system, then try to translate that to a code base, and try not to lose anything in the translation. Or you can just use an IDE and find all these things that UML tells you di

I agree. I just think expecting to get back a stolen backpack, at any measurable rate is pretty unrealistic, unless the society in question is so draconian that the solution is worse than the problem.

i would report it, so i don't think it would effect the stats in your way.

by mbfg 4y ago
Yes, but there are still "greedy capitalist building owners" willing to sign up for the deal. So the taxes seems to be following supply and demand. At some point as the article claims, that may change. If/when it does, then

by mbfg 4y ago
Ok, imagine for me the society for which you can file a police report for a stolen backpack, and you relatively efficiently have your backpack returned, and the perpetrator brought to justice. What does that society look like? How does that

surely you are not arguing it won't go down at all, right? So the question really is, what amount of homelessness will disappear. It may be that it is not cost effective. That is a reasonable possibility, i suppose. I think tho, it is

do you have statistics/links for this "crime not being lower, only reporting is lower" claim?
