What's de-facto required and not is completely irrelevant here. The claim was that "Message-ID header [is a] a requirement that has been part of the Internet Message Format specification ... since 2008" (emphasis mine), w

Your casual use of the word MUST is not the same as a standard document's use of the word MUST. Your real world experience is entirely irrelevant to the conversation about what the standard requires.

by mort96 9mo ago
So you agree that calling it a requirement is wrong?
754.
by mort96 9mo ago
Can you start actually reading what you quote? "The implications must be understood and weighed" does not mean "you are required to have a good reason not to do it". I can know of the Message-ID field, understand what it

Is there anything especially interesting about version 0.9.0? Nothing stands out to me in the changelog.

You don't need them to be sent to Apple. And if errors in console get sent to Apple, it's surely filtered through a heavy suppression list. You can open the Errors and Faults view in Console on any Mac and see many errors and fa

Seems like a good way to get students to write C rather than GNU C.

Again, the DPRK is a singular entity. We can look at the behavior of the DPRK and analyze what its stance towards democracy is. We can see that it doesn't seem remotely committed to democracy, so being against the DPRK says nothing abo

This would be a great point if antifa was some official org with fascist views. It's not. Antifa is just a shortened form of the word anti-fascist. Anyone can call themselves antifa. And typically, only people who view themselves as fi

That's true, but not really relevant to this discussion. You can't really deplatform a president; yes he was no longer on Twitter, but roughly 8 billion people listen any time he speaks.

Has China been ruled to be in violation of those rules?

There's an old joke that 9gag* only reposts stuff from Reddit and Reddit only reposts stuff from 4chan and 4chan is the origin of all meme culture. This joke was widespread enough to reach myself and my friend group back in the day, ev

Just to substantiate this a bit: I remember a gleeful consensus in certain circles being that /pol/ and /r/the_donald had "memed Trump into the White House". It's much more complicated than that, but there

What rules? Is the US not subsidising its own industry?
765.
by mort96 9mo ago
Tariffs and subsidies both help companies succeed, but they're not the same thing. For one, tariffs can only really help your country's companies be competitive within your country. Subsidies can help your companies be competiti
766.
by mort96 9mo ago
Hm, how are tariffs state subsidies? They're a tax on some products to give other products a competitive edge, but that feels different from a subsidy? And what does that have to do with China playing by different rules than the west?
767.
by mort96 9mo ago
How isn't China playing by the same rules? Every country subsidises and supports industry it thinks is important, surely nothing would stop Germany from investing into Volkswagen and BMW or the US from investing into Ford the same way

From my perspective, the main structural difference between the EU and the US is that it's legal for a member country to leave the EU but illegal for a member state to leave the US. This is a very significant difference and means that

by mort96 9mo ago
I think this is a bit unfair. The EU is a combination of the member states and institutions: the European Commission, the European Parliament, the European Council and the Council of the European Union. These bodies are made up of either

by mort96 9mo ago
You're right that the talk from EU about EU sovereignty is about increasing EU involvement, while decreasing US involvement. I don't agree that it's a misleading term: both "EU sovereignty" (EU independence from the

Dude, Oracle controls who can contribute. I don't understand how you can say it has nothing to do with Oracle.

Yeah, and there's an evil monopolistic element to Steam's forced use of the client and the DRM it enables. I'll be angry at GoG if they ever make the launcher mandatory, but it doesn't seem like that's what this is

Liquid Glass really is that bad. Not because the visual design is especially bad (not my cup of tea but it's okay ); but because all of macOS is now incredibly janky. Even Spotlight is a janky mess now with lots of broken animations.

I would avoid it for Linux and Windows. Even if they are "technically supported", Apple's focus is clearly macOS and iOS. Being a second- (or even third-) class citizen often introduces lots of issues in practice ("oh, n

Is the project clearly documented as being written in GNU C++ rather than standard C++? If not, anything that's accidentally invalid C++ is fair game for bug fixes, is it not?

Why would you want to manage your own fork of everything?

This is probably the best approach. I submitted a patch to Go once, and never got anything resembling a response. Told me that Go is more or less completely inaccessible; I should treat it as a Google product rather than a FOSS project I ca

It's not common for a random company to gatekeep contributions to a community project, and OpenJDK brands itself as a community project that's more or less independent from Oracle.
779.
by mort96 9mo ago
So TL;DR I'm right to be skeptical of everything Java because even OpenJDK is pretty much owned and controlled by Oracle? Good to know. I'll keep avoiding it like the plague then, with slightly more confidence:

$90k a year before tax is a very very good salary in Norway , and even a decent developer salary. It's much better in eastern Europe.
