I think the matter at hand is much less trivial than tabs v. spaces.

Getting software engineers interested in your science isn't easy. Though in this particular case there ought to have been enough funding. I'm not knowledgeable about its specific developments.

Clearly the matter isn't simply presenting the ad. The issue is being able to trace and identify the user. Sites will put walls that identify blockers which when passed through by declining will still display ads! Showing the ad isn&#x

Which initiatives have they led? Which cool products have they invented? What do they do that isn't derivative?

I think I posted that pretty ironically and with enough glib not to be taken too seriously. Oh well. To say their not profiling users using their OS is insane. Private repositories can't even be encrypted on GitHub. What another absolu

It's a common misconception that open source is antithetical to profit. The concern is really about the freedom to inspect, modify and distribute the codes which run your computer without restriction. I hear you, I think MS is prone to

Why should anyone? Open source has always been about freedom. MS hasn't acquired the tools to my knowledge, they've acquired popular infrastructure built around tools. Anyone can still start GutBub based on the same `git` source t

Obviously yes, Google is scanning your Gmail emails and doing telemetry on every document you put into their services. That gets a decent amount of attention but it's no where near the amount of information Microsoft gets from you if

Ironic really given that Microsoft has the most notoriously insecure products I can think of. Can anyone point to a technology company that has a larger attack surface or a more fundamentally insecure product?

Actually they are probably the coolest if not cooler: https://bgr.com/2015/07/31/windows-10-upgrade-spying-how-to-... even Google doesn't get to track every file you open, which I agree is way less cool.

Actually they may have done updates to the fonts which overall look slightly larger in certain contexts.

They want to buy a community of developers.

Personally I've always found GitLab's design much more user friendly and the code and repository layout is much nicer than the spartan and cold GitHub. About all Microsoft has dared to change (at least transparently) since obtaini

Accruing positive sentiment in the dev community through acquisitions of someone else's nice things. Who came up with that crazy idea? GitHub isn't Microsoft. You can't buy brand loyalty.

I seed several torrents for OSS, it's not much but that's about all I can do to help.

Isn't npm like a dumping spot for pretty much anything javascript good, bad and ugly?

What does that do for overall code quality on GitHub I wonder?

The major concession I have for still using Emacs quite a bit in light of the elegance of VSCode you've pointed out is that I can do extended coding across multiple projects and runtime buffers without having to even think about reachi

How is the user experience different in Win where you actually need to use PS compared to the users need for Bash on Linux?

They are but I'm saying that the code often isn't redundant in the same way a piece of infrastructure may be.

To be sure. And I don't think that modern Fortran is overly obscure that you couldn't basically pick it up over a weekend from the language specification. Every modern Linux distribution has a current gfortran bundled.

Reportedly, there are definitely more interesting challenges. We are seeing this in academia quite frequently where the older professors have some hard worked program in BASIC from whenever and they try really hard to get someone to maintai

Are the clients paying you to fulfill their requests or are you just making their unfunded dreams come true? If they are paying is it a reasonable proportion of the cost for your teams development work? How strong was the product vision ori
